00:12:12
The SnowJobs Podcast
Get it. When does it kick in? Let's go here. Let's bring the energy. It's late at night. We're all tired. Let's go. um Let's start with Storks, which me and Matty attended. Matt, what did you think overall?
00:12:25
Matty Muscles
I mean, really, you know, of course, in true Storks fashion, they did not disappoint. I thought it was a great day. um I got out there about a half hour late and walked right in, you know, hopped in and it was just you di do you dive right into actual technical information and being a, you know, we, so we run, we run all Fisher plows. So, and we've run them since before, like literally before I was even born, my dad was running Fisher plows. So it's just like you, you dive in and you learn everything there is to know about them, schematics, the whole nine, you get a, you know, a nice booklet, which is, you know, spiral bound. um
00:13:12
Matty Muscles
It's just, it's no BS. Like it's exactly what I expected plus more. And it, you know, you really get into the technical information, which is what I was there for.
00:13:24
Matty Muscles
um And you learn a lot. So, I mean, I've had years, decades actually of experience with them. And there's still things that I walked out of there learning like, holy crap, I never even knew that.
00:13:37
Matty Muscles
So a nothing bad to say about it.
00:13:37
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
00:13:41
The SnowJobs Podcast
The manual that they gave you is like the ultimate cheat code.
00:13:45
Matty Muscles
It really is.
00:13:46
The SnowJobs Podcast
It's literally had everything, every wire. Here's where this wire goes. Here's where it goes to. Here's what color it is. Here's how it should look. yeah It was the mat. It was worth, I would have paid 125 bucks just for the manual.
00:14:02
Matty Muscles
Yeah. So like I was, I was reviewing it with my dad.
00:14:02
The SnowJobs Podcast
Just for that book.
00:14:05
Matty Muscles
We, we went over it today at the office and it was just like, I'm like, dad, there's things like that. We've never even been privy to about this information that only dealers get. I said, we, I go there for a day. I get this information. now we have it at our fingertips and you know, it's just like, where, where is where has this been, ah you know, the entire time, but it's, you know, it's just like, you can't repeat it.
00:14:30
The SnowJobs Podcast
No, and I think it's it speaks to a lot about the dealer. It speaks to how Storks does business.
00:14:36
Matty Muscles
hundred percent 100%.
00:14:38
The SnowJobs Podcast
Storks is about promoting the industry, pushing the industry forward.
00:14:38
Matty Muscles
Yeah.
00:14:42
The SnowJobs Podcast
They've proven that time and time again. They want to elevate everybody's game.
00:14:45
Matty Muscles
Without a doubt.
00:14:45
The SnowJobs Podcast
they're not just there They're not just there to sell you product. You know, they're there.
00:14:49
Matty Muscles
No, absolutely not.
00:14:49
The SnowJobs Podcast
for to They're they're going to they're they're the old adage of what is it? Give a kid a fish eats for a day. Teach a kid to fish. You know, he eats for a lifetime.
00:14:58
Matty Muscles
Yep.
00:14:58
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's that's how they do They want you to be able to to to stand on your own because you might not have a storks in in your backyard.
00:15:00
Anthony Mann Jr
Mm-hmm.
00:15:05
The SnowJobs Podcast
I sure don't. My dealers aren't open.
00:15:07
Matty Muscles
No, I don't either.
00:15:08
The SnowJobs Podcast
my My dealers aren't open at 3 a.m. if something goes down. So them teaching you how to troubleshoot.
00:15:11
Matty Muscles
Yeah, no, I drove three. I mean, you know, in the grand scheme of things, I drove three and a half hours for that. But at the same time, it's like you're building a relationship with somebody who is always going to have your back.
00:15:24
Matty Muscles
And we have dealers that I have a dealer that is, you know, both both of our local dealers are 15 minutes away and they would gatekeep this information because, yeah, they're the dealer.
00:15:36
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
00:15:36
Matty Muscles
And then you have somebody like Storks who's willing to give it out. you know, like at will.
00:15:42
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah, no, it's a it was it was great.
00:15:42
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:15:44
The SnowJobs Podcast
It was absolutely awesome. um I thought the hands on instruction like they went over. We started out matt as Matt said, he was about 20 minutes later. So um we started out going over the book. We're diving right in like, all right here for this plow. Here is the wiring setup. Here is the wiring. diet Here's how you wire it in.
00:16:04
The SnowJobs Podcast
Here's where everything goes. Here's where the fuses are. And they just continued to build on that for like the next two hours. And then you went down and did hands-on with, they had what, six or seven different plows on, on different vehicles and stuff.
00:16:15
Matty Muscles
Yeah.
00:16:19
The SnowJobs Podcast
And they had pre pre rig problems for us to troubleshoot. Yes.
00:16:24
Matty Muscles
Yeah, and I thought they did a great job of actually breaking it down between number or the the pre-lunch session was electrical. and then they And so they broke that out and then they broke the after-lunch section into hydraulic.
00:16:32
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yes.
00:16:38
Matty Muscles
So when we're ever troubleshooting everything, it's always in any yeah know it's a it's either an electrical issue or and it's a hydraulic issue.
00:16:39
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep.
00:16:47
Matty Muscles
And I thought that was a great way to break it down and split it up.
00:16:51
The SnowJobs Podcast
Nine times out of 10, it's electrical.
00:16:53
Matty Muscles
Absolutely. And I can even tell you the things, some of the things that I learned after, you know, being familiar with these things for, you know, over 20 plus years. ah So your, your dealer might not actually be installing some of these things right.
00:17:10
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yes. Yes, I actually was able to show that.
00:17:15
Matty Muscles
Yeah. so I'm like, oh my God. And I, I, for me, real world, I'm like, well, I know for a fact that my dealer didn't install it that way and it's actually wrong.
Storks' Support for Contractors
00:17:25
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah. Nope. 100%. I think there were a couple of guys saying, oh, really? Because that's not the way it looks on my trucks.
00:17:32
Matty Muscles
Right. Right.
00:17:34
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep. No, I got that, too. ah definitely I definitely got that. I thought the what they did... ah picking like i i think it's the most common issues that come up like the the non-interface warning on the controller when it's just slow flashing you know okay you got to trace it to find what the deal is what's what's not hot where if there's a bad ground or a blown fuse uh i thought those were those were really great it let guys work through the problems they had a tech you know They had a professional there with each group to to kind of you know walk them through it, and if they needed help, they needed a little direction, ah they gave it to them. But otherwise, it was all on us to find the problems. I thought that was awesome.
00:18:15
Matty Muscles
Yeah, I agree.
00:18:16
The SnowJobs Podcast
um I know the, i we had, I had a local guy, Matt Boos of Quiet Acres Landscaping. He actually came down with one of my guys, ah Mark, and they were both like blown away by the day.
00:18:30
The SnowJobs Podcast
they're like, wow, they're willing to teach us this stuff. Like, this is awesome. Like nobody does this.
00:18:34
Matty Muscles
Well, that's what I was getting at. It's like most of this stuff is, is gatekeeped by our local dealer because they want you to bring it back so that they can hit you for a charge of whatever it may be, you know, but in the grand scheme of things, in the middle of a storm, if you have this information and you have a resource like that book that they gave us.
00:18:45
The SnowJobs Podcast
hundred percent.
00:18:55
Matty Muscles
So now all of a sudden, you know, you can be like, oh, wait a minute. I think I can troubleshoot this myself and maybe even fix it.
00:19:01
The SnowJobs Podcast
and Absolutely.
00:19:01
Matty Muscles
Unless it's a catastrophic, uh, you know, failure of like a module or whatever it may be, you know, all of sudden you're back up and going in the middle of an event when your dealer might not be open.
00:19:12
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah, 100%. I thought another really valuable piece of information they gave you was the list that they handed at the end of, hey, listen, these are what we've seen from our experience are going to be your most common problems that come up with these. Here's a parts list of what you want to have extras of.
00:19:28
Matty Muscles
Yeah.
00:19:29
Anthony Mann Jr
Wow.
00:19:29
The SnowJobs Podcast
Like they they they had a lot like it that was like that was like the icing on the cake.
Obligation of Dealers During Snowstorms
00:19:34
The SnowJobs Podcast
Like they they gave you the book. They gave you the tools to to figure out the problem. And they also told you here is the top 90 percent of what could possibly go wrong. Here's what you're going to need to have in stock to be able to fix it on the fly right there without us.
00:19:46
Matty Muscles
Right.
00:19:47
The SnowJobs Podcast
I thought that was awesome.
00:19:48
Matty Muscles
And I will even say, like, from a private contractor perspective, um when you have a dealer who's a good dealer and they do good right by you, but if they're not open during a storm or if they're not available during ah critical time, when whenever you may need them, like don't discount the fact that like there are other resources out there, but you should be able to stock other parts, stock other common yeah issue type things like, hey, listen,
00:20:04
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep.
00:20:20
Matty Muscles
Yeah, like things cost money, but you should be stocking these things because in a pinch, they're going to get you through. And they also gave us, you know, that kind of information like, hey, in a pinch, you should probably have one of these on your shelf, because this is going to fix your problem and get you back up and going.
00:20:34
The SnowJobs Podcast
yep
00:20:38
The SnowJobs Podcast
Absolutely. am i Am I wrong in feeling like if you're a major dealer in any area for snow... Don't isn't it like your duty to keep texts on during snowstorms, whether it's at night or during the day?
00:20:49
Anthony Mann Jr
you
00:20:54
The SnowJobs Podcast
i mean, that's about supporting your customers. If you if you're a small dealer, you you sell five, 10 plows a year. OK, I can understand you're not open all night you know during a storm. But if you're selling one hundred and fifty, two hundred plows a year, you're a major dealer for that area or whatever area you're in.
00:21:09
The SnowJobs Podcast
Isn't it? don't do you Don't you feel like it's their duty to be open when you're going to need them?
00:21:14
Matty Muscles
I don't know if I would call it duty, I would almost call it obligation.
00:21:14
The SnowJobs Podcast
Like,
00:21:18
The SnowJobs Podcast
but There you go. Same, same difference. I mean, like that, that should almost be handed down from the OEMs. No, like, Hey, listen, if you're going sell our product, the guys are going to, the guys that are buying this are going to need backup from the dealer when they need it most, which is when it's snowing.
00:21:34
The SnowJobs Podcast
That doesn't matter whether it's 2 PM or 2 AM, you need to be open to to fix it, to get them back on the road.
00:21:39
Anthony Mann Jr
We're fortunate we have two local dealers near us and both of them are open.
00:21:39
Matty Muscles
I don't disagree with that.
00:21:43
Anthony Mann Jr
They have it on their thing. If there's accumulating so on the ground, we're open.
00:21:47
The SnowJobs Podcast
We don't have any of that.
00:21:47
Anthony Mann Jr
So that makes it nice.
00:21:48
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's great. That's awesome. If anybody knows, if anybody's in my area there in the Hudson Valley and knows plow dealers here that stay open all night during storms, definitely let me know because I don't want to be wrong about that.
00:22:00
The SnowJobs Podcast
But I know my the dealer where I get my stuff this is not open all night long during storms, which.
00:22:06
Matty Muscles
So I know that we have we have two local dealers.
00:22:06
Anthony Mann Jr
Wow.
00:22:08
Matty Muscles
they They do have the opportunity to be open. And one of them, at least one of them does. But there's a growing line. It's like, yeah, hey, if you have a problem, yeah, come on up. But you're going to get in line.
00:22:24
Matty Muscles
So at least they're open. But it doesn't mean you're going to get like you know first service as you walk through the door. But...
00:22:29
The SnowJobs Podcast
yeah yeah and i i would one of the negatives i heard about the dealers that are open all night is that the the local municipalities break stuff and they're wrote they're the ones tying up the line like i think contractors should private contracts should go to the head of the line personally that's just me that's being selfish but yeah i mean the the the local municipality should have their own mechanics able to fix stuff honestly that's just my feeling but uh anyway uh lunch lunch at storks again awesome food there they had smoky bones barbecue brought in uh that was delicious that was awesome good for them and then what else did we do we got to play with the new uh the new douglas dynamics rate controller the new controller that was great
00:23:06
Matty Muscles
Yep, absolutely.
Storks' Impact on the Industry
00:23:16
Matty Muscles
Yeah, I thought that was awesome. It was great to put our hands on that.
00:23:17
The SnowJobs Podcast
that was uh yep
00:23:20
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep. Gene was able to show guys how to program it, how to zero it out, how to get what they need in there, how to program 1,350 pounds per acre.
00:23:35
The SnowJobs Podcast
No, but yeah, no, you can, you can program that.
00:23:36
Matty Muscles
It maxes out at 1,500. We know that for sure.
00:23:38
The SnowJobs Podcast
that's
00:23:41
Anthony Mann Jr
The thought's out here.
00:23:41
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah
00:23:42
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah. but Yeah. He'll have to have two dual controllers. Yeah.
00:23:47
Matty Muscles
yeah
00:23:48
RICK JAMES
Dual controllers.
00:23:50
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah But yeah, no, we had a good time with that. It was good to see that thing in action, see it how it actually works, ah how to set it, how to ah zero it, how to get your readout.
00:24:00
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah That was pretty cool. um What else? What else about Storks, Matt? Anything else we missed to talk about there?
00:24:07
Matty Muscles
No, like I said, I mean, typical Sorx fashion, they did not disappoint. And I think for what we experienced there, like, I was only I was only able to show up by myself. Like I said to my father today in the office, I'm like, you're absolutely going next year.
00:24:25
Matty Muscles
ah
00:24:25
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
00:24:26
Matty Muscles
Gene Sr. is an absolute wealth of knowledge.
00:24:29
The SnowJobs Podcast
Absolutely.
00:24:30
Matty Muscles
Like that guy has forgotten more about plows the and the snow industry than most of us will ever know.
00:24:30
Anthony Mann Jr
We have.
00:24:39
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep.
00:24:39
Matty Muscles
And you can realize that in a matter of a five minute conversation with him and you know, tack that on to everything else that they have going there that you know, the facility is fantastic.
00:24:53
Matty Muscles
And it's just like, wow, anything that they have going on, like they they they don't miss he does. They don't miss.
00:24:59
The SnowJobs Podcast
No, they don't.
00:24:59
Matty Muscles
They don't miss.
00:25:01
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's ah that's a really it's a really big family there. like I mean, they just have total involvement, total buy-in from everybody that works there on everything they do.
00:25:09
Matty Muscles
Yeah.
00:25:11
The SnowJobs Podcast
They all seem extremely happy to be at work. I mean, it's just got to be a really good place to work. So hats off to Storks.
00:25:16
Matty Muscles
Yeah.
00:25:17
The SnowJobs Podcast
You guys killed it again. um Hats off to Douglas for letting them do something like that, you know, and not saying, no, no, no, don't don't do something like that.
00:25:19
Anthony Mann Jr
Thank you.
00:25:26
The SnowJobs Podcast
Like, that's that's awesome that that's supported by Douglas.
00:25:29
Matty Muscles
Yeah, big time. I actually I think that's a good point. I mean, any OEM that is considering it or, you know, on the fence about it, like you should be buying into stuff like that, because the more contractor knowledge that you're putting out there, it's going to only benefit your dealers in and in return benefit your contractors who are actually the ones using and buying your product.
00:25:52
Matty Muscles
So, yeah.
00:25:52
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah hundred percent 100%. thanks to Gene and the Storks gang for ah for having us. We appreciate it. Thanks for ah Big Gene and the other techs that were ah were very patient with the guys learning and and helping us ah helping us be able to diagnose our own issues. that You can't put a price on that. So thank you very much to Storks. Keep killing it out there, guys. You're doing great.
Travel Challenges in Pennsylvania
00:26:16
The SnowJobs Podcast
Great things for the industry coming out of Storks. And we look forward to seeing the new Battleship Gray Artics out there. That's going pretty cool. uh what do you want to do move on to sns thursday yeah oh yeah go ahead i got one more thing too go ahead matt i was just gonna say i thought it was cool so last year that plow tech school and sns were on the same day
00:26:28
Matty Muscles
Well, before we go to that, Steve, actually, no, you go ahead first.
00:26:41
The SnowJobs Podcast
So guys couldn't do both. And this year, that's why I said Pennsylvania, the the vendors, snow vendors in Pennsylvania are killing it. This year they talked. They had it on separate days, one day apart. So you could come into town and do both like we did.
00:26:57
The SnowJobs Podcast
And just, you know, basically knock two two different events out two days and get out of there with a lot of lot of great knowledge from both events. I thought that was really cool of them. And then, you know, they support each other. Gene actually came to S&S.
00:27:11
The SnowJobs Podcast
you know, on Thursday. So that that's really, it's really cool to see that's where, that's where things are heading that the, the not only are they are, are snow guys supporting different events, but the vendors are actually supporting each other's events too.
00:27:24
The SnowJobs Podcast
And wanting to make everybody else's events as successful as theirs. So hats off to everybody there.
00:27:27
Matty Muscles
Yeah, no, I think that's great. And the what I wanted to say was the collaboration between vendors is awesome and dealers as well. But um so if you can't like we were at obviously the the Storks event for SnowX, Western and Fisher, but Storks is also a dealer for Boss and now Arctic.
00:27:52
Matty Muscles
So I think that as in an overall perspective, like
00:27:53
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep. yep
00:27:59
Matty Muscles
if if you were to go to, you would if you don't run Western, Snowex, or Fisher, you're not going to get anything out of it. But I think that if you run Boss, if you are looking to run Arctics, like there should there's the absolute ability for...
00:28:14
RICK JAMES
Snow Power also.
00:28:15
Matty Muscles
for Gene to now expand upon that and say, okay, we're going to run an event for people who run for contractors who run boss. We're going to run an event for guys who run arctics, things like that.
00:28:28
The SnowJobs Podcast
yeah
00:28:28
Matty Muscles
I think the expansion is right there. And I'm sure knowing the way that they operate, that they're going to hop right on that.
00:28:35
The SnowJobs Podcast
Absolutely. Yeah, and I mean, Storks also sells snow power. So like they got, i mean, between all those
00:28:40
Matty Muscles
Oh yeah. I apologize. Yeah. I didn't i don't mean to say, I don't mean to sell uncle Rick short.
00:28:44
The SnowJobs Podcast
No, it's all good.
00:28:44
Matty Muscles
Like,
00:28:44
The SnowJobs Podcast
but But like you think about it, they got all the Douglas, the three Douglas brands. They got boss. They got snow power. Like if you're putting it on a truck, you got a 70% chance of having it there.
00:28:54
Matty Muscles
That's where you should go.
00:28:57
The SnowJobs Podcast
You know, I mean, they got so many brands represented there.
00:28:57
Matty Muscles
Yeah.
Introduction to the S&S Event
00:29:00
Matty Muscles
Yeah.
00:29:00
The SnowJobs Podcast

00:29:13
The SnowJobs Podcast
No, I was kidding. ah
00:29:14
Matty Muscles
yeah
00:29:15
The SnowJobs Podcast
There are highways, actually. We were commenting almost the whole drive that how come we're going through these side mountain roads for an hour and 40 minutes between locations? There's got to be highways.
00:29:25
The SnowJobs Podcast
Of course, there are highways. Waze just sends you, if it's 30 seconds quicker, they will send you the goat path. and We will never take that again.
00:29:34
Matty Muscles
PennDOT killed my truck.
00:29:34
The SnowJobs Podcast

00:29:37
Matty Muscles
I think I need new shocks and struts on my pickup.
00:29:39
The SnowJobs Podcast
Is it me or is the entire state of Pennsylvania Highway torn up right now?
00:29:43
Matty Muscles
Under construction.
00:29:44
RICK JAMES
I think so.
00:29:45
Anthony Mann Jr
Every summer, every summer, 84, they do it in two sections.
00:29:45
The SnowJobs Podcast
All of it.
00:29:45
RICK JAMES
I believe so.
00:29:48
Anthony Mann Jr
They just keep switching spots. It's been a
00:29:50
Matty Muscles
It's not even 84. It's like every other interstate plus every other like back road.
00:29:53
The SnowJobs Podcast
Everything. We were on, what were we 81?
00:29:56
Anthony Mann Jr
a... 81, same thing. Same thing. They rotate.
00:29:59
The SnowJobs Podcast
But nothing ever gets done.
00:29:59
Anthony Mann Jr
Every year they do a section, a couple miles.
00:30:03
The SnowJobs Podcast
Nothing is ever completed, though.
00:30:04
Matty Muscles
I'll tell you what, I'm going to start a highway construction company in Pennsylvania.
00:30:04
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
00:30:10
Matty Muscles
And yeah, pretty soon I'll be out of the snow industry. Thanks, guys.
00:30:13
The SnowJobs Podcast
You're not kidding. Like, that's the way to go.
00:30:14
Matty Muscles
Appreciate it.
00:30:16
The SnowJobs Podcast

00:30:31
The SnowJobs Podcast
Smart.
00:30:32
Anthony Mann Jr

Liquids Panel Experience at S&S
00:31:30
Anthony Mann Jr
S&S's event.
00:31:30
Anthony Mann Jr
um then You're going to leave with goodie bags, boxes of food, boxes of desserts, um you know, and they're just good people. Got to meet his, I think I met his brother last year, but I really got to talk to him this year a little bit. Great guy, um you know, and the vendors, you know, we had,
00:31:30
The SnowJobs Podcast
yep check fucking check
00:31:48
Anthony Mann Jr
a couple new vendors there this year. So, uh, actually talked to a guy about salt. Um, new guy, uh, came up and talked with him, met a guy owns a trucking company. He wasn't a vendor. He was just there, but he does salt too.
00:31:59
Anthony Mann Jr
Um, so, you know, always looking for, to network with salt vendors.
00:32:05
The SnowJobs Podcast
So, Anthony, you were on a liquids panel with Snow Boss and Sterling Lowe.
00:32:05
Anthony Mann Jr
Um,
00:32:10
The SnowJobs Podcast
um That was actually really cool. That was, I mean, even for us, that we're not in liquids. Jeremy's not in liquids. Well, Jeremy's not huge into liquids, but, like, Matt's not in liquids. But I thought it was a really good discussion. Like, you guys really did really well, the three yeah
00:32:26
Anthony Mann Jr
and it's really hard when Jordan Smith is the person that was supposed to do this. And then you've got to go up and fill in his shoes. um
00:32:34
The SnowJobs Podcast
I don't think so. i Honestly, I don't. No offense to Jordan, but I think people, I think that audience got a lot more out of a panel to hear all three of your points of view. I always think a round table type deal is more informative.
00:32:47
Anthony Mann Jr
Yeah, no, absolutely.
00:32:47
Matty Muscles
I agree.
00:32:48
Anthony Mann Jr
Jordan just a wealth of information, but he's fed into us so much that we're out there just,
00:32:50
The SnowJobs Podcast
He is. Oh, yeah, absolutely. In his sleep.
00:32:54
Anthony Mann Jr
We're out there spreading what we learned from him now.
00:32:56
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's what I'm saying.
00:32:56
Matty Muscles
You're his disciples.
00:32:57
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah, you guys learned from him, but now, exactly.
00:32:58
Matty Muscles
You guys are his disciples.
00:33:00
The SnowJobs Podcast
And now you're able to pass on your own experiences.
00:33:01
Anthony Mann Jr
And now we, you know, yeah and having three different guys with three different types of businesses where, you know, Snow Boss is 100%. You know, we're 50-50. The other guy, i forget what he said he was.
00:33:15
Anthony Mann Jr
um Does anybody remember how much percentage he was of Brian?
00:33:18
Matty Muscles
i think I think Sterling's 100%.
00:33:19
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah he's mostly he's got it as a backup yeah he's 100 he's got he's got granular as a backup yeah he's only what baltimore that right baltimore
00:33:19
Matty Muscles
Yeah.
00:33:21
RICK JAMES
Yeah, Sterling was like 100% also.
00:33:21
Matty Muscles
yeah
00:33:22
Anthony Mann Jr
Okay. Okay.
00:33:23
RICK JAMES
Yeah,
00:33:23
Anthony Mann Jr
Yeah.
00:33:24
Anthony Mann Jr
So yeah, he's very different.
00:33:24
Matty Muscles
But he's also in a different market.
00:33:26
Matty Muscles
He's also in a different market, which I thought was awesome.
00:33:27
Anthony Mann Jr
mark
00:33:31
Matty Muscles
he He basically covers the whole state of Maryland all the way down to D.C.,
00:33:33
RICK JAMES
a lot of Baltimore area.
00:33:36
The SnowJobs Podcast
but there are what i think he said it like a 12 inch average market so yeah that's but they got a lot of de-icing events so that's where uh the liquids come in handy
00:33:39
Anthony Mann Jr
Yeah. I think that's what he said.
00:33:48
Anthony Mann Jr
So, but,
00:33:48
The SnowJobs Podcast
But yeah, I thought you guys did a great job. Anything that that stood out about the panel for you, Anthony?
00:33:54
Anthony Mann Jr
Um, it's just nice to be able to go up there and have those discussions because even being up there, you're learning from the other guys that are there. Um, so just to get back to what you said, the panels are great.
00:34:05
Anthony Mann Jr
Um, did I, I thought the,
00:34:10
The SnowJobs Podcast
We can come back to you.
00:34:11
Anthony Mann Jr
the, the, the crowd actually was engaged. They have, they had good questions.
00:34:15
Anthony Mann Jr
Um, Yes. They were different than normal questions you've heard before.
00:34:15
The SnowJobs Podcast
Very, very engaged, actually.
00:34:20
Anthony Mann Jr
um And you even had some of the road department guys asking questions. um You know, so that that was nice. Yeah.

00:34:42
Anthony Mann Jr
Yeah, listen, whenever we can add value to other contractors that are either doing it and just can learn one little thing or the new guys or the guy on the fence, if we can add any value to them at one of these events, that's what it's all about.
00:34:51
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep.
00:34:56
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep. Jeremy, what'd you think of the panel, bud?
00:34:58
RICK JAMES
I thought the panel was really good. Like you said, it was very entertaining. It was, if it flowed really good. i mean, the flow of it, time flew by. I think it was almost, you guys were up there for what, almost two hours or an hour and a half?
00:35:10
The SnowJobs Podcast
I think over, I think over two hours.

00:36:21

00:36:23
The SnowJobs Podcast
Look at the first plow.
00:36:23
Matty Muscles
I'm not sure that drip was hydraulic fluid.
00:36:26
The SnowJobs Podcast
The first plow you come across.
00:36:27
RICK JAMES
Alright, well, you know what, Matt?
00:36:28
The SnowJobs Podcast
It's a good chance.
00:36:31
Matty Muscles
I think it was fluid film drip.
00:36:32
RICK JAMES
you know yeah
00:36:34
The SnowJobs Podcast
Fluid film don't drip like that.
00:36:36
RICK JAMES

00:36:41
Anthony Mann Jr
Mafia, baby.
00:36:43
The SnowJobs Podcast
Matt, what did you think of the panel?
00:36:46
Matty Muscles
I thought it was great. um I thought that the three guys that were on it. So Chris, Anthony, and um Sterling represented it extremely well.
00:36:56
The SnowJobs Podcast
Starling.
00:36:58
Matty Muscles
um I think that overall the audience was, and I said this to Tony um when we were texting back and forth, this was above the, ah the liquids one-on-one talk that Jordan, that Jordan starts with.
00:37:13
RICK JAMES
Mm-hmm.
00:37:14
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
00:37:16
Matty Muscles
I mean, when, when we're, when,
00:37:16
Anthony Mann Jr
Thank you.
00:37:19
Matty Muscles
we're reviewing it i'm thinking about it back and forth it's like okay we have now elevated the conversation there was so many people way more than i expected when the question was asked like how many uh people are using liquids already the amount of hands that came up i was like wow this is a lot and and i am somebody who has been talking about using liquids for
00:37:36
The SnowJobs Podcast
yeah
00:37:42
Matty Muscles
multiple years now, I still haven't adopted them into our operations. um But I'm like, holy crap. Like, this is a real thing. This is a real thing. Like, you can't avoid this.
00:37:54
Matty Muscles
um I thought it was fantastic. Being able to hear.
00:37:59
RICK JAMES
I thought it was good.
00:38:00
The SnowJobs Podcast
god
00:38:00
Matty Muscles
Go ahead.
00:38:01
RICK JAMES
um was just going to say, I was thought it was really good too that while Sterling, he runs all Kami and Anthony and Chris, they run all VSI stuff. So you kind of, you know, we had them both represented really well and, you know, they they said they both perform really well.
00:38:11
The SnowJobs Podcast
yeah hundred percent
00:38:14
RICK JAMES
So, you
00:38:14
Matty Muscles
Yeah, not only that, Jeremy, but to add to that, like when we were talking to Sterling after when we were outside, he even says like, you know, his brine makers is a is a Henderson unit.
00:38:26
Matty Muscles
So it's like you can you can clearly run multiple different manufacturers to you know accomplish the same thing.
00:38:27
RICK JAMES
know. Okay.
00:38:35
Matty Muscles
Right. Like. That's what it comes down to.
00:38:37
RICK JAMES
Right.
00:38:37
Matty Muscles
So I thought that was really great.
00:38:38
The SnowJobs Podcast
ponder
00:38:40
Matty Muscles
um But yeah, I thought the panel discussion was awesome. um These events where you have this round table type organ ah format and panel discussion, things like that, it brings,
00:38:55
Matty Muscles
organic conversation and you can't fight where that conversation goes to. And it always ends up leading to ultimately the best place, which is why everybody should be willing to show up because the things that you're going to learn, you can't quantify. You can't look and say like, well, I didn't go to that. And, you know, i wasn't, I knew it wasn't going to be worth it for me.
00:39:20
Matty Muscles
it's It's hard to say that. And coming from somebody who was resistant to going to events for so many years prior, the things that I've learned in the past three to four years of my life as a professional is really, you know, kind of changed my perspective on that, without a doubt, changed my perspective on that.
00:39:42
The SnowJobs Podcast
Absolutely.
00:39:43
Anthony Mann Jr
You nailed it.
00:39:43
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah. My,
00:39:44
Anthony Mann Jr
i One little thing at any show you pick up could change the whole strategic of your business.
00:39:50
Matty Muscles
Absolutely.
00:39:50
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh, 100%. Here's my take on SNS on the panel that that Anthony, Chris, and Sterling did. um We go to a lot of shows now. ah we We go to a lot of different events that have panel discussions, that have group chats, breakout groups.
00:40:06
The SnowJobs Podcast
it the you know We've been to events that have good panel discussions that have 150 people in the room, and there's no questions. There's minimal questions. There's less than 10% of the audience asking questions.
00:40:17
The SnowJobs Podcast
You had, what, 45...
00:40:20
The SnowJobs Podcast
45 people in the audience, 50 people in the audience, they were all invested because you had to have had 30 questions.
00:40:23
RICK JAMES
Oh, yeah.
00:40:26
Anthony Mann Jr
Yeah, yeah.
00:40:27
The SnowJobs Podcast
Like everybody was invested. So that is directly that that's usually the amount of questions that come out are usually always due to the speakers that are on the panel. So you guys, the three, you kept them engaged.
00:40:38
The SnowJobs Podcast
You kept them.
Vendor Introductions and Networking
00:40:40
The SnowJobs Podcast
You kept giving them tidbits that they wanted to know more about. And they ended up asking question. And like we said, there's no stupid questions and there weren't.
00:40:48
Anthony Mann Jr
No, no, they were all good questions.
00:40:48
The SnowJobs Podcast
Like there were a lot of questions that they were really good questions.
00:40:50
Anthony Mann Jr
They were great questions.
00:40:52
The SnowJobs Podcast
Like I was shocked by the lick, the level of knowledge in the room. um And, and I, like Matt said, I was also shocked by how many people were actually in liquids when you asked for a show of hands that, that were already doing it.
00:41:02
Anthony Mann Jr
Yeah.
00:41:02
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:41:02
Anthony Mann Jr
You know, I asked that question.
00:41:03
The SnowJobs Podcast
But, but that.
00:41:03
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:41:04
Anthony Mann Jr
I wanted to know how many guys are using it. And I was shocked. I mean, it wasn't half the room, but it was it was pretty close to half.
00:41:12
Matty Muscles
easily close Easily close to half.
00:41:12
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh, I think you had half.
00:41:12
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:41:14
Matty Muscles
And honestly, i ah i wish that I wish that that question had been posed at the beginning of the session, because then I think that it would have elevated the conversation to a completely different level to get into some real like real full-blown technical stuff, which is, at this point,
00:41:14
The SnowJobs Podcast
I think you had half.
00:41:15
RICK JAMES
yeah
00:41:27
Anthony Mann Jr
Yes.
00:41:31
Anthony Mann Jr
Yep.
00:41:32
The SnowJobs Podcast
I mean,
00:41:34
Matty Muscles
That's where we need that's where we need to be when you're in a room of that, ah you know, that number of people like that are using liquids already. Like, let's go to the next level.
00:41:44
The SnowJobs Podcast
yeah
00:41:44
Anthony Mann Jr
What's nice too is
00:41:45
The SnowJobs Podcast
but i mean
00:41:45
RICK JAMES
so like ah but Like out there, it's a whole different ballgame than here. I mean, you guys almost don't need to have a you know ah have it spiked like we do here out here where it's so cold.
00:41:57
RICK JAMES
I mean, lot of the guys are running 95.5, the way it sounded like Chris said that everybody was doing, and that seems to work pretty well out there. So, I mean,
00:42:04
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
00:42:05
Anthony Mann Jr
we've had no problem running 100% straight.
00:42:08
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:42:09
The SnowJobs Podcast
Really?
00:42:09
Anthony Mann Jr
And that was
00:42:09
The SnowJobs Podcast
Even with all the moisture in our events, all the water diluting it?
00:42:12
Anthony Mann Jr
no problem.
00:42:14
The SnowJobs Podcast
Hmm.
00:42:14
Anthony Mann Jr
No problem.
00:42:16
RICK JAMES
And like I said, you know, a lot of guys didn't know. I know like, well, like Robert was talking yesterday, you know, like Patrick told me, goes, you know, so you don't need to spike it. You can just double it or whatever, you know, and you'll probably fine.
00:42:16
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's interesting.
00:42:29
RICK JAMES
You know, just put double on that you would normally put on.
00:42:29
The SnowJobs Podcast
Hmm.
00:42:32
RICK JAMES
So, yeah.
00:42:32
Matty Muscles
That was even something that Sterling said, you know, for down in Maryland, you know, Hey, don't worry about putting an additive in just like, just take another lap around.
00:42:37
RICK JAMES
So. Yeah.
00:42:41
The SnowJobs Podcast
up your application rate per acre.
00:42:43
Matty Muscles
Yeah.
00:42:44
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:42:44
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah. But yeah, again, hats off to Anthony, Chris, and Sterling because, you know, yeah, the the engagement is directly due to the the guys on the panel.
00:42:50
Anthony Mann Jr
Appreciate that. Yeah. Yeah.
00:42:55
The SnowJobs Podcast
You guys kept them interested. You kept them. You all had great perspectives. And I think that's that that was probably the most questions I've ever seen actually out of a panel discussion at one of these.
00:43:07
The SnowJobs Podcast
Like, what there had to be, what, 25 questions?
00:43:07
RICK JAMES
Yeah, I agree.
00:43:10
The SnowJobs Podcast
maybe 26 questions i mean the questions went on for a full hour and 20 minutes it was a long time
00:43:11
Matty Muscles
Thank you.
00:43:11
Anthony Mann Jr
yeah
00:43:16
Anthony Mann Jr
yeah
00:43:16
RICK JAMES
Mm hmm.
00:43:17
Anthony Mann Jr
I mean, we did, no, hey, what I'm longer than that, we did a quick introduction of who we were, and it was questions go. Like, there was no topic to talk about, and I liked that. Like, people didn't have to listen to a boring little thing, you know, it was, hey, what's the question from the audience? Oh, everybody's engaged.
00:43:33
The SnowJobs Podcast
yeah yeah absolutely
00:43:34
RICK JAMES
And everybody's fed off each other and there's one from one to the next.
00:43:34
Anthony Mann Jr
Oh, cool, cool.
00:43:37
RICK JAMES
So it was just, it just.
00:43:37
Matty Muscles
Yeah, and i think I think Tony and Janet did a great job of pushing into that type of format as well.
00:43:44
RICK JAMES
Right. Right.
00:43:45
The SnowJobs Podcast
10-4, absolutely. So yeah, then the panel discussion broke up. i Actually, Tony and Janet, they before they did the panel discussion, they did another cool thing. Like, they did it last year, and I thought it was cool, and they did it again.
00:43:58
The SnowJobs Podcast
They had all the vendors introduce themselves that were there and tell a little bit about you know, who they are, what their company is, what they, what they sell, what they can do and that they're around all day. There weren't, they weren't trying to sell anything. They were just, they were one of the, one of the gang basically just milling about and talking to people, getting takes on stuff.
00:44:18
The SnowJobs Podcast
So I thought that was really cool to do that that way again. ah So after that, after the panel, we did lunch real quick and then we went into networking all afternoon discussions, hanging out with the, ah at the booths outside.
00:44:32
The SnowJobs Podcast
Had it under the tent, a nice ah pavilion there that they poured. that was ah That was really cool.
00:44:36
RICK JAMES
Yeah, the concrete he poured this last year, so yeah, that turned out really nice.
00:44:39
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah, yeah, it nice concrete.
00:44:42
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:44:42
The SnowJobs Podcast
um
00:44:43
Matty Muscles
Yeah, apparently in PA, they can pour concrete better than they can pour asphalt.
00:44:43
The SnowJobs Podcast
and and
00:44:47
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah, that was nice concrete.
00:44:50
Anthony Mann Jr
We don't pour asphalt, we lay it.
00:44:50
The SnowJobs Podcast
yeah Well, yeah, if they lay it the right way, then they don't get to do it every year.
00:44:51
RICK JAMES
Yeah. yeah
00:44:54
Matty Muscles
Whatever you want to call it, they they they pour concrete better than to lay asphalt on their roads.
00:44:56
The SnowJobs Podcast
Okay.
00:44:59
Anthony Mann Jr
one thing I don't mess with, so you can't blame me.
00:45:02
The SnowJobs Podcast
they do it right they don't have to do it every year then that negates the need for them uh so they're not going to do that um so who what vendor did did anybody talk to a vendor that uh they had an interesting conversation with i talked to the i had an interesting conversation with two of them the insurance guy and the the uh the green the green lady
00:45:20

If you don't, if if you don't, if you don't save $7 trillion dollars and your insurance company needs to, you need to bend his ear a little harder or something.

RICK JAMES
So.
00:45:46

00:49:03
RICK JAMES

00:49:03
The SnowJobs Podcast

00:49:04
RICK JAMES
Yep. Price.
00:49:06
The SnowJobs Podcast
um oh there was the guy from snow way was there
00:49:06
Anthony Mann Jr
You didn't have bad pricing on the product, on the bag stuff.
00:49:06
Matty Muscles
Typical soft one.
00:49:10
Anthony Mann Jr
It was like $6.75 a bag or $7 a bag.
00:49:14
Matty Muscles
Yeah, there was ah there was a dealer from Snow Way there, yep.
00:49:17
The SnowJobs Podcast
so that was a different guy than last year do you remember the guy from last year was a much older less engaging gentleman last year from snow way
00:49:25
Anthony Mann Jr
I'm not
00:49:25
Matty Muscles
vaguely
00:49:25
RICK JAMES
Oh, yeah.
00:49:25
The SnowJobs Podcast
This year, at least, that that guy had energy. That guy was really...
Environmental Concerns and Salt Usage
00:49:29
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah That guy was... I liked that guy from Snow White. didn't get to talk to him, but he seemed like a good guy in his introduction.
00:49:36
Matty Muscles
and want to say the name i could be wrong but I want to say the name was like Hayward Distributors or something like that
00:49:37
The SnowJobs Podcast
um
00:49:41
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yes, it was. Yep. It was. You are correct. So the insurance guy, um that was an interesting conversation because he said that they are re look like his his company, at least are they're looking at they're going to take companies on an individual basis.
00:50:01
Matty Muscles
That's what he said.
00:50:01
The SnowJobs Podcast
Like, yeah, they're going to start looking at snow companies on an individual basis. Like, what is your rating? Like, what is your past history for insurance? Have you had claims against you? If you haven't, you shouldn't be penalized by not being able to get insurance or having really super high insurance.
00:50:17
The SnowJobs Podcast
So they're going to start evaluating snow companies on a case-by-case basis, which which is encouraging.
00:50:23
Matty Muscles
He also said don't work for Walmart and don't work for Lowe's.
00:50:23
Anthony Mann Jr
Thank you.
00:50:27
The SnowJobs Podcast
He did say that. Yep. I mean, I knew that already. we we but Most of us know that already.
00:50:31
Matty Muscles
we Yeah, we know that.
00:50:32
The SnowJobs Podcast

00:50:40
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh, man. I was really, i really wanted to.
00:50:42
RICK JAMES
yeah but ah There's no liability there.
00:50:42
Matty Muscles
We can figure it out with them.
00:50:44
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah. I was really looking forward to taking that eight acre Walmart in a 40 inch market for 35,000. Damn it. That's right out the window now after talking to him. No, no liability there.
00:50:55
RICK JAMES
There's no liability.
00:50:57
The SnowJobs Podcast
But ah no, they I thought that was really encouraging. he And we'll probably, I think we're going to get them on, right, to talk more about that, give guys some hope.
00:51:06
Matty Muscles
I think his name his name was Alan, wasn't it?
00:51:06
RICK JAMES
Yeah, that's weird. Alan was Alan, I believe, wasn't it?
00:51:09
Matty Muscles

00:51:10
Anthony Mann Jr
And Matt's his partner.
00:51:10

Anthony Mann Jr
They're going to use his business cards.
00:52:03
RICK JAMES

00:52:06
RICK JAMES
So. Huh.
00:52:10

00:52:16
RICK JAMES
Sean always gets everything.
00:52:18

00:52:20
Anthony Mann Jr
I walked off with Sean's glasses.
00:52:20
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's a, I thought it was a, yes, you did.
00:52:21
Anthony Mann Jr
I had to come back.
00:52:24
RICK JAMES
don't know.
00:52:24
The SnowJobs Podcast
You did take off with him. I said, listen, it was either Anthony or who was the other guy that was there still? It was either Anthony or Robert.
00:52:31
RICK JAMES
remember.
00:52:33
The SnowJobs Podcast
They were the last two guys to leave.
00:52:33
Anthony Mann Jr
They were sitting there and I just instantly, just like by instincts, just put them on my head.
00:52:34
The SnowJobs Podcast
So one of them walked off with the glasses.
00:52:40
Anthony Mann Jr
yeah
00:52:41
The SnowJobs Podcast
It was bright out.
00:52:42
RICK JAMES
Hmm.
00:52:43
Anthony Mann Jr
yeah
00:52:44
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah
00:52:44
RICK JAMES
Hmm.
00:52:45
The SnowJobs Podcast
So ah the other, let's see, what else? ah the they we I had an interesting conversation with the the green in, like, i don't i I don't even know what the name of her her organization was.
00:52:57
The SnowJobs Podcast
Something like Green PA or something, like Salt Reduction PA?
00:52:59
Anthony Mann Jr
It's the Pennsylvania Master Watershed Stewart. Stewart. Little Lehigh Watershed.
00:53:05
RICK JAMES
Jesus, that's a long name.
00:53:06
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep.
00:53:06
Anthony Mann Jr
water said
00:53:08
The SnowJobs Podcast
I got to get an acronym for that. I got to shorten that up.
00:53:10
Matty Muscles
I think her name was was her name Jennifer.
00:53:10
RICK JAMES
well That's the group that's going after Sean.
00:53:13
Anthony Mann Jr
Yes.
00:53:14
Matty Muscles
yeah
00:53:16
The SnowJobs Podcast
So i I thought what she was, i you know, obviously that's a great thing.
00:53:17
RICK JAMES
I got your back, Sean.
00:53:22
The SnowJobs Podcast
We got to protect our watersheds. ah You know, I applaud that. Good for her. She was a very nice lady. But I think I kind of, I mean, you guys were there. Did I kind of shock her and stop her in her tracks when I told her the first thing to get any contractor to buy into that?
00:53:36
The SnowJobs Podcast
First thing you got to do is go after the state DOTs and the local. local highway departments, get them to stop putting down so much salt and no contractor is going to put down less salt unless they're offered some kind of, you know, liability reduction to do so.
00:53:40
RICK JAMES
Yeah. Yeah, good luck.
00:53:50
The SnowJobs Podcast
Cause you know, we're putting down salt to make sure we don't get sued.
00:53:53
Anthony Mann Jr
She took notes from the minute she got there.
00:53:53
Matty Muscles
Steve, how dare you shock her by how dare you shock her by like how dare you shock her by the company that hired her to do the
00:53:54
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:54:01
Anthony Mann Jr
and
00:54:03
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah. Well, I mean, I'm just, I'm being honest.
00:54:07
Anthony Mann Jr
She wrote notes from the minute she got there.
00:54:07
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's, that's probably where you got to start.
00:54:09
Anthony Mann Jr
She was in that notebook writing stuff down the whole time.
00:54:11
RICK JAMES
Yes, you did.
00:54:14
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's good. I mean, listen, they she was, she was
00:54:15
Anthony Mann Jr
Yeah, no, she and she she was like, I'm overwhelmed. And she's like, I can't believe how you guys come together like this and are trying to solve the problem. And we don't even know you guys are on the front line doing this.
00:54:26
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah, i mean that's I mean, that's the basic thing.
00:54:26
Anthony Mann Jr
So...
00:54:27
RICK JAMES
um
00:54:28
The SnowJobs Podcast
why no like guys are not Guys that are using salt, period, whether you're using too much or or using less, it doesn't matter. You're still going to use salt to protect yourself from liability, from slip falls.
00:54:42
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's our biggest fear. That's what keeps us all up at night. You know, from November to April, that has got to be the number one worry on every snow guy's mind.
00:54:45
RICK JAMES
Oh yeah.
00:54:50
The SnowJobs Podcast
Is it not? Slip falls.
00:54:51
Matty Muscles
Yeah.
00:54:52
Anthony Mann Jr
Yeah.
00:54:52
The SnowJobs Podcast
And then followed close second by what the fuck's going to break.
00:54:52
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:54:55
Anthony Mann Jr
Well, breakdowns.
00:54:55
RICK JAMES
yeah
00:54:55
Anthony Mann Jr
Yep.
00:54:56
The SnowJobs Podcast
like yeah You know, and then third, am I going to get paid? but for doing the work we already did but i mean that's that's a serious thing the liability is a big problem and she was explaining that new hampshire has something in place already that if you get certified with this green like salt reductions thing um you are offered limited liability uh for slip falls so they actually like the state actually protects you somehow or something i got to find out more about it but she said it's been challenged twice and both were unsuccessful um you know by people trying to sue for slip falls for those green industry uh certifications well we'll see i mean it's it's like i said anytime it's one person telling me that and i don't have documentation saying it in front of me i'm kind of
00:55:27
RICK JAMES
Mm-hmm.
00:55:33
Anthony Mann Jr
We need to bring that national.
00:55:44
The SnowJobs Podcast
you know, skeptical about it. I want to find out more, get do my own homework on it. But I mean, if that's a thing, that would be a good place to start, you know, start at this.
00:55:51
Anthony Mann Jr
ye
00:55:52
The SnowJobs Podcast
You got to start at the state level of, you don't stop the DOTs from turning, you know, ah it's hard to tell a contractor that could, that is liable and could personally get sued to stop using so much salt when the state DOT is putting down 10 times what the contractors are, you know, that.
00:55:55
Anthony Mann Jr
yeah
00:56:09
Matty Muscles
yeah exactly i mean that's kind of a no-brainer like if you regulate it from the state dot standpoint like that it obviously is going to trickle down
00:56:12
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
00:56:19
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
00:56:19
RICK JAMES
Yeah, we don't need more regulations. i can guarantee you that.
00:56:21
The SnowJobs Podcast
No, exactly.

00:56:41
The SnowJobs Podcast
Ah.
00:56:42
Matty Muscles
He was scared.
00:56:42
The SnowJobs Podcast
you The Bin Laden of salt.
00:56:45
Anthony Mann Jr
The salt daddy.
00:56:46
RICK JAMES
He really felt picked on, you know, because he was not a Brian guy, and was all Brian guys there. Yeah, he was. Yeah.
00:56:53
Anthony Mann Jr
He needs to help. he needs He needs to be part of the solution and get on Brian and help the environment.
00:57:00
The SnowJobs Podcast
Nobody's going to mess with my Sean. That's my buddy. That's my buddy.
00:57:05
Anthony Mann Jr
They'll outlaw salt and he'll be out there throwing it.
00:57:06
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh, man.
00:57:09
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah he He said the same thing, though. He goes, listen, I'm in Jersey. I literally lead the league in frivolous slip fall lawsuits.
00:57:18
Anthony Mann Jr
You don't have to tell me.
00:57:19
The SnowJobs Podcast
He goes, if if you're not going to stop Jersey DOT from sitting in intersections, literally with their their conveyors still going, dropping a pile of salt in the intersection while they're at the traffic light, then don't tell me to use less when I needed to protect myself from getting sued.
00:57:31
Anthony Mann Jr
Bro, Jersey, you'll be driving down the road in Jersey and there'll be piles about a foot and a half high by about this far when they got to clean their salters.
00:57:39
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah, that's what he said.
00:57:41
Anthony Mann Jr
You hit one of those, you're you're airborne. Okay.
00:57:44
RICK JAMES
Thank you.
00:57:45
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah, that's what he was saying.
00:57:46
Matty Muscles
He's got a good point.
00:57:48
The SnowJobs Podcast
He does. No. yeah And that's I think that's a lot of guys points is, you know, that it has to if you're going to tell contractors that can personally be held liable and sued that they got to use less salt, then you got to start with the DOTs that those drivers are not going to get personally sued for putting down too much salt. If there's an accident or something, the state will settle it.
00:58:09
The SnowJobs Podcast
But the driver himself is not worried about. you know, losing his business or losing his home of the the, you know, you got to start with the state DOTs and the local highway departments, get them in line.
00:58:18
Anthony Mann Jr
And the OEMs, look at Western, what they're doing.
00:58:20
The SnowJobs Podcast
but
00:58:21
Anthony Mann Jr
They're helping the contractors that don't know now. You know, lot of us older guys have been in this industry.
00:58:25
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah. I mean, with the rate control.
00:58:25
RICK JAMES
Mm-hmm.
00:58:27
Anthony Mann Jr
With that rate control, they're helping with the solution too.
00:58:29
Anthony Mann Jr
So, you know, everybody gets together. You know, it's not going to end it, but it's going to lower it.
00:58:29
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
00:58:34
The SnowJobs Podcast
Well, yes and no.
00:58:37
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yes and no. I mean, if you're going to help, if you really want to lower salt, that's not what it's, I don't think what it's for. It's not to make guys use less. It's to let them know exactly how much they're using.
00:58:48
Anthony Mann Jr
No, I get that, but...
00:58:49
The SnowJobs Podcast
If they wanted them to use less, they wouldn't let it go up to 1,500 pounds per acre. You know what saying?
00:58:52
Anthony Mann Jr
Yeah, right.
00:58:54
The SnowJobs Podcast
Like when the industry standard is what, 800 pounds of of untreated rock salt per acre? Is that what Simon's a little common, what is best practices says?
00:59:01
Anthony Mann Jr
I'm not sure.
00:59:04
The SnowJobs Podcast
I think it's 800.
00:59:05

00:59:33
The SnowJobs Podcast
And the best part is you cannot have an argument.
00:59:35
RICK JAMES
no You didn't squash.
00:59:36
The SnowJobs Podcast
You cannot have a valid argument if you've not used both products. and that was that was kind of where the argument ended.
00:59:44
Matty Muscles
That's fair. That's a fair point. But.
00:59:46
RICK JAMES
ah
00:59:48

Matty Muscles
But.
00:59:54
RICK JAMES
Yeah.

The SnowJobs Podcast
That's 250, 300 tops it goes up to. it's It's hot. It's hot salt, and we don't leave much behind with the Artics at all.
01:00:51
Anthony Mann Jr
Okay.
01:00:52
The SnowJobs Podcast
you
01:00:53
Anthony Mann Jr
It looks like we might try our first quarter to count this year.
01:00:54
The SnowJobs Podcast
We got Artics with saber edges and winter edges.
01:00:58
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh, you know, then you can join our argument.
01:01:01
Anthony Mann Jr
yeah Yeah, I'm gonna put him side by side.
01:01:02
The SnowJobs Podcast
We got to get mad in Arctic so at least he can see.
01:01:03
Anthony Mann Jr
I'm gonna do a fair comparison. You know?
01:01:08
The SnowJobs Podcast
Do it once and then you tell me. how how what What size plus do you have?
01:01:13
Anthony Mann Jr
have two, I have the 813 and the 1016.
01:01:14
Matty Muscles
me
01:01:18
Anthony Mann Jr
and sixteen
01:01:22
The SnowJobs Podcast
Okay, perfect. So you put that 1016 next to an Arctic LD 10. what What Arctic are you getting?
01:01:28
Anthony Mann Jr
I'm not sure. It'd probably be a bigger one for my bigger loader.
01:01:28
Matty Muscles
Can't do it.
01:01:31
Matty Muscles
Can't do it.
01:01:33
The SnowJobs Podcast
Okay, so you put a 10 foot Arctic next to a 10 foot metal plus and you'll see that the 10 foot...
01:01:34
Anthony Mann Jr
Will they both be 16 foot pushers? Well, it's the 16 foot metal class to like a 14 or 16 foot.
01:01:39
Matty Muscles
You're gone.
01:01:42
Anthony Mann Jr
What size is the Arctic coming?
01:01:43
The SnowJobs Podcast
yeah You can't do it. Hold on. You can't do it. You got to hear me out. So put the 1016 next to the 10-foot Arctic and just judge it on the the mold board for the metal plush because the wings scrape like shit anyway.
01:01:47
Anthony Mann Jr
Okay.
01:01:58
Anthony Mann Jr
but Okay.
01:01:58
The SnowJobs Podcast
They don't scrape as good as the mold board.
01:02:00
Anthony Mann Jr
Yeah, okay.
01:02:01
The SnowJobs Podcast
the I'm telling you, we watched videos of it all day yesterday in the background.
01:02:02
Matty Muscles
this is this is not this is not this is not ah This is not right.
01:02:06
Anthony Mann Jr
No, I agree.
01:02:07
Matty Muscles
Like, you can't.
01:02:08
Anthony Mann Jr
listen And this is why we're giving it a shot.
01:02:08
The SnowJobs Podcast
You're telling me? So, Matt, wait a minute.
01:02:10
RICK JAMES
No, Matt, this is our show.
01:02:10
The SnowJobs Podcast
You're going to tell me that the wings
01:02:11
RICK JAMES
Your band, Matt, this is our show.
01:02:12
Matty Muscles
No. No.
01:02:14
RICK JAMES
You can get off.
01:02:15
Matty Muscles
yeah Yeah. Okay, bye.
01:02:17
The SnowJobs Podcast
Matt, you're going to seriously tell me though, Matty.
01:02:18
Anthony Mann Jr
but but That's why we're going to give it a shot, because we've got to try, you know, and see what's better that's out there.
01:02:18
Matty Muscles
Bye. Bye.
01:02:23
The SnowJobs Podcast
Hold up. I want to get this on record from a Metal Plus user. ah You're seriously going to tell me that the wings on the Metal Plus scrape as good as the Metal Plus mold board does?
01:02:27
Matty Muscles
nope
01:02:32
Matty Muscles
I'm going to tell you that you can't compare in all fairness, whether like full transparency, you can't compare a hydraulic wing plow to a straight box pusher.
01:02:39
The SnowJobs Podcast
We're just talking scrape.
01:02:44
Matty Muscles
You can't do it.
01:02:45
RICK JAMES
You don't have to
01:02:46
Matty Muscles
And, and
01:02:47
RICK JAMES
arctic scott ah Arctic's got a hydraulic claw, too. I
01:02:49
Anthony Mann Jr
Yeah, Metal Plus has a box.
01:02:49
The SnowJobs Podcast
There you go.
01:02:50
Matty Muscles
okay. So how, how, how, big how big, how big are their wings?
01:02:51
The SnowJobs Podcast
I got a snow wing.
01:02:53
RICK JAMES
have a... Yeah, there's...
01:02:53
The SnowJobs Podcast
I got a snow wing.
01:02:55
Matty Muscles
How big are their wings?
01:02:56
The SnowJobs Podcast
Two foot.
01:02:56
RICK JAMES
have
01:02:57
The SnowJobs Podcast
Two foot.
01:02:57
RICK JAMES
yeah there's
01:02:58
Matty Muscles
The two-foot wings.
01:02:58
RICK JAMES
yeah
01:02:59
Matty Muscles
So when i when when you can when you can take six-foot wing on a van wing with that has a live edge, you can't compare that to a straight box pusher.
01:02:59
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep.
01:03:11
Matty Muscles
it's It's the start and end of the argument. Like, it really is.
01:03:15
The SnowJobs Podcast
It's not.
01:03:16
RICK JAMES
Have you seen it?
01:03:16

RICK JAMES
No.
01:03:28
The SnowJobs Podcast
Dude, when did he become so far left?
01:03:28
Matty Muscles
You can't compare a hydraulic wing plow to a straight box pusher.
01:03:31
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah
01:03:32
Matty Muscles
Talk apples to apples. you all Oh, well, you want you want to compare bids apples to apples, but when you want to talk about plows, you want to talk about a hydraulic wing plow compared to a straight box pusher.
01:03:42
The SnowJobs Podcast
We're not talking about the versatility.
01:03:42
RICK JAMES
no
01:03:42
Matty Muscles
You can't. Yes, that's exactly what you're trying to say.
01:03:44

01:06:03
The SnowJobs Podcast
You haven't seen it. You told me you've never seen an Arctic roll snow.
01:06:07
Matty Muscles
I haven't seen it because we don't have the right snow to roll it. And you and you both and you both agreed you both agree that you have to have the right snow to see the roll.
01:06:10
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's not true. oh hold on. I'm sending you eight videos right now.
01:06:15
Matty Muscles
You tried looking up the video. You'd spent five minutes trying to find the video of it rolling snow. I've seen him push snow. I've literally worked right next to one. And yet when he has to stop short and I can drive into a pile and not worry about breaking a block on a – on on
01:06:33
The SnowJobs Podcast
You don't have to stop short.
01:06:34
RICK JAMES
That's called the operator. that's That's an operator.
01:06:36
Matty Muscles
Okay, operator error.
01:06:36
RICK JAMES
It's not the fucking plow.
01:06:37
Matty Muscles
Okay, fine.
01:06:40
RICK JAMES
So what happens when you rip a wing off? Is that is that the plow's fault or the operator's fault?
01:06:44
Matty Muscles
Never ripped a wing off.
01:06:45
RICK JAMES

01:11:53
Matty Muscles
you don't, it's not going to cost you any more than taking off a day's worth of work. Like, it's just, it's kind of the way that I see it.
01:11:58
The SnowJobs Podcast
yep
01:12:01
Matty Muscles
And I, I want, you know, everybody to know this, like, this is a no brainer event. If you're within driving distance, it's just, it's, it's going back to what you guys have talked about on the podcast before these grassroots event type things that are, what's that?
