00:04:53
RICK JAMES
Yeah. But hey, that's definitely the way it goes, though.
00:04:55
The SnowJobs Podcast
It looks good, right? 100%.
00:04:58
RICK JAMES

00:05:06
RICK JAMES
It showed what we go through, so is it was a great show and showed them what we do.
00:05:09
The SnowJobs Podcast
that's it
00:05:11
RICK JAMES
And there were some really good lines on that in the show, I thought, Kyle, not lines, but, you know, it was standard what he taught, you know, how how we talk, so it was all good, so.
00:05:22
The SnowJobs Podcast
I love that, honestly. I mean, that that people could see like what goes into something that doesn't materialize. Like how many man hours are spent and how much preparation goes in and then to not get anything.
00:05:33
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's still man hours and and prep we're paying for. And that's you know sometimes what the property managers and property owners don't understand. that that's all That's all capital being spent.
00:05:42
RICK JAMES
percent
00:05:44
The SnowJobs Podcast
So that's good that that got in that episode.
00:05:48
RICK JAMES
I mean, it it really sucked. It wasn't a big storm that was predicted, but like you just it shows what we have to go through.
00:05:57
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's it.
00:05:57
RICK JAMES
to be ready, know, and it's just real life, so.

00:07:14
The SnowJobs Podcast
If you are going, do not miss the Arctic Party on Wednesday night, all right? Arctic snow and ice control products throwing a big bash at Sima on Wednesday night. You do not want to miss a minute of that.
00:07:26
The SnowJobs Podcast
um Like we were saying on the on the Arctic Army roll call episode, you know, the storm snow jobs party last year. i think that raised the bar for Sima parties. I have a feeling the Arctic party is going to raise this bar even higher.
00:07:35
RICK JAMES
yeah
00:07:39
RICK JAMES
Yep.
00:07:40
The SnowJobs Podcast
I think so.
00:07:40
RICK JAMES
I agree.
00:07:41
The SnowJobs Podcast
They don't mess around. Ain't no party like an Arctic party.
00:07:43

The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh, yeah. So if you're going to Simon show in Grand Rapids next month, I would not miss a minute of the Arctic party ah for anything.

I think
00:08:01
The SnowJobs Podcast
i don't I don't care what else you got going on or what's going on.
00:08:02
RICK JAMES
think Even Kyle will probably come to the Arctic party, even though he's ah in the mafia.
00:08:04
The SnowJobs Podcast
You go to the Arctic party.
00:08:10
The SnowJobs Podcast

00:12:54
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's good. Good.
00:12:56
RICK JAMES
You definitely, uh,
00:12:56
The SnowJobs Podcast
So go ahead, Jake.
00:12:56
Kyle Urig
Uh,
00:12:59
RICK JAMES
No, I mean, you definitely had didn't have the snow to work with, but you guys, I mean, you showed all your preparation and everything, so you were busy.
00:13:05
Kyle Urig
We were busy. We were busy. Very busy. We were getting a lot of kinks out of the brine maker. Still getting kinks out of the brine maker.
00:13:16
Kyle Urig
But ah between that, yeah, not quite.
00:13:17
RICK JAMES
so don't think you got them all out.
00:13:21
The SnowJobs Podcast
somebody sent Somebody sent a comment that I saw that said, are you guys really going out for a half an inch of snow on pavement? And I'm thinking, yes. Like, are you not?
00:13:31
RICK JAMES
No,
00:13:32
Kyle Urig
Yeah.
00:13:32
The SnowJobs Podcast
Like, yes, we go out. We scrape off. If we can't salt it off, we scrape off a half an inch. That's what zero T is. You know, like you don't leave it. I don't know. I don't know where the guy was plowing, but like, yeah, no, that we're we're expected to do that.
00:13:45
The SnowJobs Podcast
The contracts we have any flakes.
00:13:47
Kyle Urig
Absolutely.
00:13:47
The SnowJobs Podcast
We're taking care of it. So I don't think snow removal is at the same level everywhere.
00:13:53
RICK JAMES
no. no
00:13:54
Brandon
I would agree with that.
00:13:54
Kyle Urig
Now,
00:13:55
The SnowJobs Podcast
I think there's different acceptance levels in different areas of the country. Like what's acceptable, what's not.
00:14:02
RICK JAMES
I mean, it's different in our area. It's different 80 miles apart. You just see what the towns like 80 miles from us get away with. It's like, what?
00:14:10
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh, yeah, absolutely. Same thing with us and and going north of us.
00:14:12
RICK JAMES
Not even.
00:14:14
The SnowJobs Podcast

00:14:26
Kyle Urig
Yeah. Yep.
00:14:27
The SnowJobs Podcast

The SnowJobs Podcast
You're never. Yeah.

Kyle Urig

00:17:27
Brandon
So, I mean, we put all preparation in to prepare for what we were expecting and obviously it didn't turn out, but if it did turn out to be something our customers would have expected to be clear, whether it was Thanksgiving day or a storm late May, I mean, it's No ah difference in how we'd prepare for an event like that.

00:20:46
Brandon
I mean, it was just off by 30 so miles, which made a big difference for us.

The SnowJobs Podcast

00:20:50
Kyle Urig

Kyle Urig
Oh yeah.
00:20:56
RICK JAMES
Yeah, I heard that.
00:20:58
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh, yeah. No, yeah, it did it did decimate some areas, that's for sure.

The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah, they loved it?
00:21:11
Kyle Urig
Everyone was pumped. They're still pumped. I mean, we've had a lot of support from the guys asking, you know, when's it gonna come out? What can you show us? We had our kickoff or end season event, the night that your episode drops, Jeremy.
00:21:26
RICK JAMES
Okay.
00:21:26
Kyle Urig
And, you know, we watched that there.
00:21:26
RICK JAMES
Oh yeah, I remember.
00:21:28
Kyle Urig
And ever since then, I've had guys asking when's it coming? When's it coming? And trailers are getting shared around. And so, yeah, they're excited.
00:21:37
The SnowJobs Podcast
Very cool.
00:21:38
RICK JAMES

00:21:51
RICK JAMES
This is, you know, i gotta to be proud of yourself. What do you, you know, what you, what do you think?
00:21:54
Kyle Urig
oh yeah. I think it looked good. I mean, without having snow, I think a lot of people are thinking, like, people around here that knew what it was like when the when the filming was going on, they probably think this episode's, like, going to be shit, you know? There really ain't nothing to film. But I'll tell you what, Ghost Dog, they did a phenomenal job with capturing the moments that matter, per se.
00:22:19
Kyle Urig
and like just collaborating that all together.
00:22:19
The SnowJobs Podcast
hu
00:22:20
RICK JAMES
Yep.
00:22:22
Kyle Urig
And, you know, Josh was able to put it where it needed to be to to make it make sense and fit the story. So
00:22:31
The SnowJobs Podcast
Very cool. How was it working working with the ghost doggers?
00:22:34
Kyle Urig
awesome.
00:22:35
Brandon

00:22:36
The SnowJobs Podcast

00:22:42
The SnowJobs Podcast
Very good. How long did it take you guys to forget the cameras?
00:22:43
Kyle Urig
I think they were more excited. ah They were just like everywhere. I don't know. Like everywhere you want there was cameras. so
00:22:51
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
00:22:52
Kyle Urig
It just came regular. But yeah, I think.
00:22:56
Brandon
There's definitely a couple times I forgot the mic was, Mike was still on me.
00:22:56
The SnowJobs Podcast
Very cool.
00:22:59
Kyle Urig
Yeah.
00:22:59
Brandon
I mean, it was on us for like three days straight.
00:22:59
Kyle Urig
yeah
00:23:00
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh
00:23:02
Brandon
So I mean, there was a time where oh we got to pull this off or headed back to the hotel for a night.
00:23:06
Kyle Urig
Yeah.
00:23:07
Brandon
It's like, oh, I didn't realize that was still on me.
00:23:08
The SnowJobs Podcast
yeah. Oops.
00:23:09
Kyle Urig
Right.
00:23:10
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
00:23:10
Kyle Urig
Right.
00:23:11
The SnowJobs Podcast
yeah You're going to want to edit out like 26 minutes in.
00:23:16
RICK JAMES
Did you ever get felt up by Matt putting mics on?
00:23:19
Kyle Urig
Yeah, a couple times.
00:23:19
RICK JAMES
Because the Glacier guys, live they enjoyed it.
00:23:21
Kyle Urig
Yeah, a couple times.
00:23:22
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:23:23
Kyle Urig
Yeah.
00:23:23
The SnowJobs Podcast
That was a dress rehearsal for the Glacier one.
00:23:26
RICK JAMES
Yeah. Yeah.
00:23:27
Kyle Urig
don't
00:23:27
The SnowJobs Podcast
he got He got more intimate with Glacier.
00:23:29
Brandon
Okay.
00:23:31
RICK JAMES
yeah
00:23:33
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh, man.
00:23:34
RICK JAMES
oh
00:23:35
The SnowJobs Podcast
So what was the what was the most fun part of doing it?
00:23:40
Kyle Urig
i don't know. I mean, I would say, like... ah The whole thing was really like the the whole experience of it was from, from the time they got here.
00:23:46
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah, the whole experience? Good.
00:23:49
Kyle Urig
Um, like we were just joking. We ate a lot, but like, man, like the amount of shit that we talked about, just like different, you know, different business adventures for, for ghost dog with, uh, Josh from ECF.
00:24:03
Kyle Urig
He was up here.
00:24:05
Kyle Urig
Um, everything like there was just lot, a lot of good stuff and it was a good time.
00:24:05
RICK JAMES
Yep.
00:24:12
Brandon
and I would say one i think one of the coolest parts on our end too is just hopefully being able to show people that aren't in the and the snow industry really what goes on when it's not snowing.
00:24:12
The SnowJobs Podcast
Did it make?
00:24:12
The SnowJobs Podcast
ahead, Jack. Sorry. Oh,
00:24:24
Kyle Urig
For sure.
00:24:25
Brandon
um
00:24:26
The SnowJobs Podcast
oh yeah.
00:24:28
Brandon
So there's a lot of time and effort that goes into all the behind the scenes stuff that when they wake up and see their parking lot's clear, they don't understand all the stuff that led up to that. And um hopefully,
00:24:41
Brandon
ah Storm chasing gets the right people. We're hopefully that help helps transform the industry and helps try to get things back on track where people understand what's going on.
00:24:52
Kyle Urig
yeah that's a very, very good point.
00:24:52
The SnowJobs Podcast
We tell people that all the time.
00:24:52
RICK JAMES
yeah
00:24:54
The SnowJobs Podcast
we tell that We tell people that all the time.
00:24:55
RICK JAMES
yeah
00:24:56
The SnowJobs Podcast
like what When you actually see the machines and the trucks on your site pushing snow, that's the easy part.
00:25:01
RICK JAMES
That's easy.
00:25:01
Kyle Urig
Right.
00:25:02
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's the easy part.
00:25:03
Kyle Urig
Yeah.
00:25:03
The SnowJobs Podcast
like That's the end of the game.
00:25:04
Kyle Urig
Yeah. Yep.
00:25:06
The SnowJobs Podcast
yeah All the prep and stuff.
00:25:06
Kyle Urig
And you can't go, anybody can go on YouTube and type in, you know, wheel loader pushing metal plus box wheel loader stacking stuff.
00:25:06
RICK JAMES
It's the shit they don't see.
00:25:14
Kyle Urig
Like that shit's all out there. There is nothing out there that shows all this preparation, all the brine making, all the hurdles that we jumped through, you know, all the broken shit, like,
00:25:20
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
00:25:28
Kyle Urig
There's nothing out there. It's this is the literally the first of its kind.
00:25:29
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep.
00:25:30
RICK JAMES
No?
00:25:31
Kyle Urig
So hopefully this will transform something and we can keep it rolling and and really open the eyes of some people that just don't know.
00:25:32
RICK JAMES
Yeah?
00:25:40
Brandon
Storms like – no, would say storms like this also.
00:25:41
RICK JAMES
like a Go ahead, Brandon. Go ahead.
00:25:44
Brandon
It's hard for like our part-time guys and even our full-time guys that we keep telling them all, like this is going to keep – like this is what's predicted. This is what our game plan is. And we change the game plan 50 times before it's go time.
00:25:57
Kyle Urig
Yeah.
00:25:57
The SnowJobs Podcast
yeah
00:25:57
RICK JAMES
Yep.
00:25:58
Brandon
And it's good to have for that to happen early on where they start to understand that like obviously we can't control whether they know that, but they still expect us to have answers because – yeah.
00:26:08
RICK JAMES
I don't think they do know that. At least a lot of my guys are like, I don't control fucking weather.
00:26:11
The SnowJobs Podcast
No, yeah. yeah They always ask, what's the plan?
00:26:14
RICK JAMES
Just because I'm in control here doesn't mean I can control the weather. I don't know when, you know, i'll get a we'll get a forecast for three days from now.
00:26:18
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
00:26:18
Brandon
Yep. Yep.
00:26:20
RICK JAMES
What time are going up? don't fucking know. It's three days away.

But I don't know, like I like ah i told you Kyle off air and stuff, like it's not it's not it's not ah It's not a line. It's not like you did a line, but you're your little yeah little speech in there, if you to call it a speech or whatever, your comments in there, I guess, that was hit a right nail right on the head there about, you know, this storm doesn't come.
00:26:57

00:27:09
Kyle Urig
And it paid off. I mean, uh, We obviously had a lot of hours that seemed wasted per se to some right off the rip. But then what, three days later, i mean, we were full force.
00:27:23
Kyle Urig
Every single guy was out and those that were out before that were just dry running it per se, they were already set up. They knew their routes. There was no questions. They were just hit the ground and they were took off running.

00:27:49
Brandon
Yeah, I was trying to, and the since we were having issues with the brine maker, I was trying to test what we put into the sprayer and I opened the wrong valve while the while the pump was on and ah got blasted in the face with couple gallons of brine.
00:28:04
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh.
00:28:05
RICK JAMES
That always feels good.
00:28:07
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh, yeah.
00:28:07
Kyle Urig
That'll be in the bloopers.
00:28:07
Brandon
I think it was in one of the trailers, so you can look back at one of the trailers, but didn't make the episode, so that's all right, though.
00:28:09
Kyle Urig
Yeah.
00:28:10
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:28:13
Kyle Urig
Yeah.
00:28:14
RICK JAMES
At least it wasn't firebranding your face with the other.
00:28:17
Kyle Urig
Oh, yeah.
00:28:17
RICK JAMES
So, yeah, you would have melted.
00:28:17
Kyle Urig
he
00:28:17
The SnowJobs Podcast
face to be melted off.
00:28:18
Kyle Urig
Yeah.
00:28:19
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah. You don't want none of that glacier fire, Brian, on your face.
00:28:19
Kyle Urig
no
00:28:21
RICK JAMES
and wanted You don't want that firebrand from Glacier.
00:28:22
Kyle Urig
No. We don't have the power around here to get that.
00:28:25
The SnowJobs Podcast
That is highly agitated Brian.
00:28:27
RICK JAMES
Spin your head off right there. Spin your head off.
00:28:29
Kyle Urig
Yeah. We do not have the power around here to spin that, you know.
00:28:36
RICK JAMES
You got to get the hydropower to Lake Michigan.
00:28:36
The SnowJobs Podcast
need like a nuclear reactor.
00:28:38
Kyle Urig
Yeah. Yeah.
00:28:41
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh my gosh.
00:28:41
Kyle Urig
We were just talking about that the other day, Jay. The new brine shop.
00:28:45
RICK JAMES
Yep.
00:28:46
Kyle Urig
We get some solar panels on there.
00:28:49
RICK JAMES
Yep. Yeah, definitely. Maybe a windmill and everything. You're going to need all of it.
00:28:52
Kyle Urig
Yeah, right. Yep. All right.
00:28:55
RICK JAMES
I was going to ask you, so when you defrosting that valve, you just had fresh water in that tank? Is that what you had in there? mean You were just...
00:29:02
Kyle Urig
it It really wasn't as dumb as it looked, but...
00:29:08
Kyle Urig
Yeah. So it wasn't really freezing and we were trying to make up until that time we were making Brian outside and this like lean to. And i think we, I don't know if we forgot that that water had or that fresh tank water was full or what, but that morning when everyone got here, we moved the brine maker into our shop because the thing was just a solid block of shit.
00:29:33
Kyle Urig
And then the tank kind of got forgotten about and then we needed water. think we ran out of water and that's when we went to find it. It was frozen. But yeah, it's a highlight of the show.
00:29:46
Brandon
Thank you.
00:29:46
RICK JAMES
I like the little heat gun in the DOG.
00:29:47
The SnowJobs Podcast
I don't but
00:29:49
Kyle Urig
The heat gun pounding the shovel through it.
00:29:53
RICK JAMES
Brandon's carrying the big fucking heater over there.
00:29:53
Kyle Urig
Yeah.
00:29:55
Kyle Urig
Yeah.
00:29:57
RICK JAMES
That's like, he's going to melt that thing up.
00:30:00
Kyle Urig
We were determined. We got it. We did get it.
00:30:03
RICK JAMES
He got her. Yeah.
00:30:05
Kyle Urig
No more of that though.
00:30:06
RICK JAMES
That was...
00:30:06
Kyle Urig
Everything inside, heated. No more making brine outside. That sucked.
00:30:12
RICK JAMES
How about the other part? I think I know because I've had the same experience. is that You had your coupler. You pushed the holes in and the the wings came out, right?
00:30:20
Kyle Urig
Yes.
00:30:21
RICK JAMES
That's why you couldn't get
00:30:21
Kyle Urig
Yes.
00:30:22
RICK JAMES
Yes. I hate when that happens.
00:30:23
Kyle Urig
we were trying to yeah We were trying to fill the saddle tanks on the, yeah, and the cam lock open, and then we had like we were fishing it out.
00:30:24
RICK JAMES
Yeah. The cam locks.
00:30:33
Kyle Urig
They're like, I'm getting all pissed off Matt's got cameras in my face.
00:30:34
RICK JAMES
And you couldn't figure it out. You had to Brandon do it for you.
00:30:38
Kyle Urig
What's going on here? I'm like, fucking cam locks open. I can't get the hose out. That's what's going on.
00:30:45
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah
00:30:45
RICK JAMES
Yep, I've heard that happen.
00:30:46
Kyle Urig
And then we did it again. We did it twice.
00:30:48
RICK JAMES
Yep, yep.
00:30:48
Brandon
We did it twice.
00:30:49
Kyle Urig
no
00:30:49
RICK JAMES
saw that. I was like, dude, maybe they just put it in there so the holes wouldn't come out, but apparently not.
00:30:50
Kyle Urig
yeah No, it was not intentional.
00:30:53
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:30:58
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah Was there anything that the cameras made more challenging? Like having having everything on film Was there anything any part of what you guys were doing Either prep or actually during the storm That made it was made more challenging by the cameras being there?
00:31:12
Kyle Urig
Watching my potty mouth.
00:31:15
The SnowJobs Podcast
yeah You don't got to worry about that.
00:31:15
RICK JAMES
Thank you.
00:31:16
The SnowJobs Podcast
i think everybody expects that.
00:31:16
Kyle Urig
Yeah. No, I mean, i don't know. I don't think so. They, I would say like, we had a couple older guys that when I announced at our kickoff meeting that this would be happening and everyone was worried about the film crew, like getting in the way and having to work around them. And I'm like, listen, like these guys are professionals. This is what they do. Just do your job. Just pretend they're not here.
00:31:38
Kyle Urig
And that's what we, we kept repeating. And that was true. hundred percent true. Um, like, yeah, they had cameras and mics and everything all over the place, but they didn't inhibit us from doing our job at all.
00:31:50
Kyle Urig
Like Matt and Maddie were phenomenal about just jumping in trucks wherever they needed to, to get from point A to point B.
00:31:51
The SnowJobs Podcast
good
00:31:57
Kyle Urig
They didn't make it an inconvenience. Like everything was really good. So
00:32:03
RICK JAMES
Mm-hmm.
00:32:04
The SnowJobs Podcast
And most of those cameras are like remote cameras now There's no more like the old days with film crews with 35 pound cameras on their shoulders following you around
00:32:06
Kyle Urig
yeah. Yeah.
00:32:09
Kyle Urig
Right.
00:32:12
Kyle Urig
Yeah. Yeah.
00:32:13
Brandon
oh
00:32:14
Kyle Urig
yeah
00:32:16
The SnowJobs Podcast
So Brandon what what was what was your favorite part?
00:32:21
Brandon
I would say my favorite part, obviously watching the episode, seeing it all put together. That's the coolest part. Seeing all the hard work that we do get put into something that people can watch. Yeah.
00:32:35
Brandon
I think it's like I said, i think I said this before. It's just cool for the industry where this series and stuff could take the industry and um where it could improve. I think that's the coolest part on not just helping us for advertising or anything like that for our own business, but helping the whole industry as a whole.
00:32:52
Brandon
um I think it has the potential to do that. And I think it already has um started to get people looking at what's really going on and realizing where they're spending their dollars.
00:33:03
Kyle Urig
Definitely. Definitely.
00:33:05
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh, I think that's definitely happening.
00:33:09
RICK JAMES
do you Do you guys think you would like use like your video or any of these storm chasing videos, you know, like encourage your clients to watch them and see what actually goes into our expenditures and everything we got do?
00:33:19
Kyle Urig
Definitely.
00:33:22
RICK JAMES
I mean, i think that would help a lot of lot of these property managers look at it.
00:33:23
Kyle Urig
hundred percent. As soon as our episodes.
00:33:27
RICK JAMES
You know,
00:33:27
Kyle Urig
Yeah. As soon as our episodes dropped here, we are, uh,
00:33:28
The SnowJobs Podcast
I already did it.
00:33:31
Kyle Urig
We're going to send it out to all our, I mean, whether they watch it or not, I guess that's, you know, it's up to them, but we're definitely going to send it out to our customers.
00:33:37
RICK JAMES
you know
00:33:38
Kyle Urig
And, um, I would like to put together uh, yearly promotional video. And I think we can use a lot of clips out of this. Um, you know, just talking about the prop and and, and put that into it. So.
00:33:56
Kyle Urig
Yeah, it's definitely gonna get used.
00:33:56
The SnowJobs Podcast
Very cool.
00:33:57
Kyle Urig
It's not like it's a video that's gonna get pushed into the corner and and not watched again. It's gonna get repeated. And i I expect to see it like throughout other companies too, honestly.
00:34:08
Kyle Urig
I think we can all take parts from each other's and and kind of use it to share, so.
00:34:12
RICK JAMES
That's
00:34:16
RICK JAMES
the guy came't came to me at the end of Storks.
00:34:16
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep.
00:34:20
RICK JAMES
I was thinking it was a great idea and I talked to Jordan about it that we could probably a clip together a montage of everybody, whatever. And then he's like, we could like put our, not ours, but who's ever logo in it.
00:34:29
Kyle Urig
hmm. Yeah.
00:34:35
RICK JAMES
And then they could put it out to their client, you know, and just say, hey this is what we do.
00:34:35
Kyle Urig
Yeah.
00:34:39
RICK JAMES
Maybe a nice little tool. I think, you know, this, like you said, whether they watched or not, and that's up to them, but it'd be just another thing we could throw at them and say, Hey, this is what goes in there.
00:34:43
Kyle Urig
Right. Right.
00:34:47
RICK JAMES
This is why we're asking the price we want, you know, for what we're going to do here. This is a lot of stuff you guys don't understand. mean,
00:34:54
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah. Well,
00:34:54
Kyle Urig
right Definitely.
00:34:56
Brandon
For sure.
00:34:56
The SnowJobs Podcast
well
00:34:56
RICK JAMES
I mean, just like youre like your're like your event, you know, we're there to push snow and you were turning that four plan, had a water main break or whatever.
00:35:04
Kyle Urig
Yeah, yeah, yep.
00:35:05
RICK JAMES
And I mean, that's something you had to take care of. You had to go salt it and, you know, just, that's not snow, is it?
00:35:09
Kyle Urig
Great.
00:35:13
RICK JAMES
it's But it could be ice.
00:35:13
Kyle Urig
Great.
00:35:14
RICK JAMES
And you guys you guys were there on site.
00:35:15
Kyle Urig
Yeah.
00:35:17
RICK JAMES
Luckily, you had Steve's little jump pack to get your 324 started, but.
00:35:17
Kyle Urig
and percent 100%. Yeah, that's another good highlight. I was glad to see that in there. That was very impressive.
00:35:24
RICK JAMES
He's proud of that.
00:35:25
Kyle Urig
I was so embarrassed.
00:35:25
RICK JAMES

00:36:24
Kyle Urig
No, it was from Harbor Freight.
00:36:25
The SnowJobs Podcast
thought
00:36:26
Kyle Urig
Like a 24.
00:36:26
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh, no.
00:36:27
Kyle Urig
This thing was literally like a $25 jump pack.
00:36:29
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh, no, shit.
00:36:30
Kyle Urig
Yeah. Yeah.
00:36:30

Kyle Urig
yeah
00:36:32
The SnowJobs Podcast
Wow.
00:36:33
Kyle Urig
Yeah, like not high end at all. It worked.
00:36:39
RICK JAMES
I still use a little thumbs up.
00:36:39
The SnowJobs Podcast
As long as it works.
00:36:40
Kyle Urig
Yeah.
00:36:41
RICK JAMES
Yeah. It
00:36:43
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's what I want to buy. I want to buy a lithium ion battery pack from Harbor Freight. Yes, that's like a small thermonuclear device just waiting to go off.
00:36:48
RICK JAMES
works.
00:36:48
Kyle Urig
yeah yeah
00:36:53
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah I'm sure it's the highest quality with all the safeties.
00:36:54
RICK JAMES
Just don't bump it.
00:36:56
Kyle Urig
Oh, for sure.
00:36:57
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:36:58
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh my God. That's funny. Yeah. and mean, you're going to see that storm truck go up in flames one of these days and they're going to find that tiny little battery pack.
00:37:08
Kyle Urig
Yeah, Jordan's going to remind me.
00:37:09
RICK JAMES
Storm has a good advertising in Ohio.
Company Visibility and Industry Evolution
00:37:11
RICK JAMES
Every time that you would they would show your shop, here's a storm truck sitting right in front.
00:37:12
Kyle Urig
Yeah.
00:37:15
Kyle Urig
Yep.
00:37:15
RICK JAMES
It was a nice advertising for that and Rick's plow.
00:37:16
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's it.
00:37:17
Kyle Urig
Yeah.
00:37:17
Brandon
Mm-hmm.
00:37:19
RICK JAMES
He holds snow power.
00:37:19
Kyle Urig
Steve was ready.
00:37:19
The SnowJobs Podcast
Arctic Steve.
00:37:21
Kyle Urig
Steve was ready.
00:37:22
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:37:25
The SnowJobs Podcast
What else you got for these guys, Jay?
00:37:28
RICK JAMES
Yeah, no, I was, like I said, was a great video. I mean, was fun to watch. We're obviously disappointed. We didn't get the big snow that they were talking, but like I said before, it was just fun to watch the preparation that all comes ahead.
00:37:43
RICK JAMES
And then when you guys had to roll out, I mean, you're it was the first night out. Like you showed, you guys walked over to deal with all of us ah as managers that do whatever. you Like, Kyle's the same thing anybody says.
00:37:55
RICK JAMES
It's like, well, if it's working, get it done. Just, yeah, I don't care.
00:37:58
Kyle Urig
Yep.
00:37:59
RICK JAMES
It's up to you. Just do it. Figure it out. if
00:38:03
The SnowJobs Podcast
I think that's, I mean, Glacier's episode was, you know, that was straight up pushing footage and and they probably could have done a three hour episode just on Glacier pushing. ah But this is real. Like the UD episode where it was all prep and we got kind of skunked on the storm when it was supposed to hit that.
00:38:21
The SnowJobs Podcast
How many times a year does that happen? Like that happens to every snow contractor in the country and Canada.
00:38:24
Kyle Urig
Yep. Yep. ah
00:38:27
The SnowJobs Podcast
i mean, no matter what your weather service it's not their fault.
00:38:29
RICK JAMES
100% chance.
00:38:30
The SnowJobs Podcast
You know, what's that?
00:38:30
RICK JAMES
100% chance it's coming. mean, you get all these forecasts. 100%, it's coming. Yeah. you get all these forecasts yeah hundred percent it's coming boom by and
00:38:37
The SnowJobs Podcast
It happens.
00:38:37
Kyle Urig
Right.
00:38:38
The SnowJobs Podcast
Bottom line, it happens to every snow contractor.
00:38:38
RICK JAMES
yeah
00:38:40
The SnowJobs Podcast
We all go through it. And I think that having an episode like that that shows that is priceless. i You can go through all that work, all that buildup, and then bla went you know you get nothing.
00:38:51
Kyle Urig
right
00:38:52
The SnowJobs Podcast
that But that happens. Guys are going to understand that. They're going to empathize with that because we've all been there. We've all done it. And it is a good thing to show your site owners and your property managers like, dude, look at all these hours, all these hours for one storm.
00:39:07
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's what you're paying for. Like you want white gloves, snow service. That's not free. All that prep that we just did that, you know, 75 man hours, that's not free. You know, it has to come from somewhere and it ain't coming from my pocket.
00:39:19
Kyle Urig
And there's so much that, you know, isn't even captured. Like this film just caught such a tiny, tiny, tiny little parcel of it.
00:39:23
RICK JAMES
great
00:39:23
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
00:39:28
Kyle Urig
I mean, the amount, you guys know, obviously, the amount of hours we go into on the administrative side and on the office side and pre-season photos, pre-season staking, equipment pre-trips, all, I mean, all that shit that like just nobody understands it because it's just...
00:39:28
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep.
00:39:48
Kyle Urig
it's not documented.
00:39:49
The SnowJobs Podcast
Just the time that goes into preparing a proper bid.
00:39:49
Kyle Urig
They don't see it. Yeah.
00:39:52
The SnowJobs Podcast
Like, you know, just going out there, doing the site checks, you know, to actually measure take measurements and stuff and all the stuff we have to do pre-bid and then putting the bid package together.
00:39:52
Kyle Urig
Yeah.
00:39:55
Kyle Urig
Right.
00:39:59
Kyle Urig
Right.
00:40:01
The SnowJobs Podcast
All those hours, that's, you know, that's got to come from somewhere.
00:40:03
Kyle Urig
Yeah.
00:40:04
The SnowJobs Podcast
And I think a lot of guys who forget to put that in the price.
00:40:04
Kyle Urig
Right.
00:40:08
Kyle Urig
Definitely.
00:40:08
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:40:09
The SnowJobs Podcast
You know, those hours.
00:40:09
Kyle Urig
Definitely.
00:40:09
RICK JAMES
So, so Brandon, what was what was the problem with the snow Raider?
00:40:13
RICK JAMES
Or was the other one not doing the same as that? I was trying to figure that because you had two of them, right?
00:40:17
Kyle Urig
Can
00:40:18
RICK JAMES
Didn't you say it wasn't working or something?
00:40:19
Brandon
Yeah, think I think they ran it out of, sometimes when you run it all the way out of brine, it the pump does like the pump comes unprimed and then it's hard to get primed.
00:40:21
Kyle Urig
we have a pump go out? Didn't
00:40:30
Brandon
We have it fit we haven't figured out now. It's pretty quick process, but first storm out of the year, um and i mean, it was tested in the shop before it went out, but obviously something between there and when we went to use it, something went wrong, which
00:40:43
RICK JAMES
Yep.
00:40:44
Kyle Urig
we have suction tube
00:40:47
Brandon
Yeah, i think I think there was a suction that broke off as well.
00:40:48
Kyle Urig
Another one or something. Yeah.
00:40:51
The SnowJobs Podcast
Those were the original Snow Raiders, right?
00:40:53
Kyle Urig
Yeah. Yeah.
00:40:53
The SnowJobs Podcast
not the mags.
00:40:54
Brandon
Yeah.
00:40:54
The SnowJobs Podcast
They, they're not, they weren't really robust brine systems. I mean, it was awesome that they put them on them like stock, but they weren't the most robust systems.
00:41:02
Kyle Urig
yeah
00:41:04
The SnowJobs Podcast
Like the, the nozzle tips were shit. You know, sucked, but, uh, Yeah, it wasn't it wasn't the most robust system. So, yeah, I definitely heard that before, like the suction tube would break off. um the If you didn't flush, and I'm talking flush, those tips, those tips were so narrow, those spray nozzles, that they would get fucking corrosion in there or gunk, and then they'd fail ah they'd fail to spray, or you'd have that the that wild missile shooting 90 degrees the wrong way.
00:41:35
The SnowJobs Podcast
But yeah, I mean, it's pretty cool of them that I thought that was great because that's now what's the original Snow Raider now when it got redesigned by boss. That's got to be six, seven years old.
00:41:45
Kyle Urig
Yeah, at least.
00:41:46
The SnowJobs Podcast
So to put a brine package on it back then, that was I thought that showed some forethought.
00:41:48
Kyle Urig
Right.
00:41:50
The SnowJobs Podcast
That was that was pretty cool.
00:41:51
Kyle Urig
Yeah, most people don't even know what Brian was six years ago.
00:41:54
The SnowJobs Podcast
Exactly. Exactly. So having it brine ready, even if you weren't going to use brine, you know, it the I thought that was a ah really good idea by them.
00:41:56
Kyle Urig
Yeah.
00:41:58
Kyle Urig
Right.
00:42:02
Kyle Urig

RICK JAMES
i like That was nice to see. That that was a pretty cool war room you have there.
00:44:04
Kyle Urig
Yeah. Yeah. yeah we uh man if we film again like there's so much that's changed just in the last year know we were talking about the other day we got another 6 400 square feet that is 100 snow nothing else warehouse we're building a new brine barn that all our tanks are inside now the brine maker will be inside
00:44:07
RICK JAMES
That's impressive. I wish he would have... ahead.
00:44:31
Kyle Urig
you know, like there's so much shit that's just evolving nonstop, you know, and and that's something else that, that this industry, I think, uh, or this, this film series, whatever is going to show is the constant evolving of what we have to keep doing just to keep providing our service.
00:44:47
RICK JAMES
Yep.
00:44:48
Kyle Urig
Um, if you would have told me, you know, two years ago, even that, Hey, you're going to build a 6,400 square foot shop just for your snow shit. And then you're going to build another, you know, couple thousand square feet for,
00:44:49
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh, yeah.
00:45:01
Kyle Urig
brine making like have told you you're fucking crazy but it's a necessary evil right and and nobody sees any of that because it's not on their site so
00:45:08
RICK JAMES
no
00:45:12
The SnowJobs Podcast
Mm-hmm. 100%.
00:45:13
RICK JAMES
yeah You got to get some frack tanks there, bud. can't believe we don't have any of those.
00:45:16
Kyle Urig
I know it I know it we gotta find some definitely on site yep yeah yeah quiet down won't you
00:45:21
RICK JAMES
Cheap storage. Cheap storage.
00:45:25
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:45:25
The SnowJobs Podcast
Brandon's talking too much. We got to we got to shut him up.
00:45:31
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh, man.
00:45:32
RICK JAMES
I wanted to get, I wanted to see some more because I remember Steve's talking about your dispatch system you have there is pretty, and pretty great and
00:45:40
Kyle Urig
Yeah.
00:45:41
RICK JAMES
I kind of wanted to see some of more of that, but obviously we didnt couldn't get that in there. But I don't know.
00:45:45
Kyle Urig
I think there's just a, there was a small clip.
00:45:46
RICK JAMES
Can you tell us a little bit about your dispatch system?
00:45:49
Kyle Urig
Yeah. Um, I think there's a small clip when she sent out some pages, right?
00:45:54
RICK JAMES
She was... Yeah.
00:45:56
Brandon
Yeah, there is.
00:45:57
Kyle Urig
And okay. So, um, yeah, I guess the, the system in a whole, uh, we operate the entire business off, uh, operations off of a two-way radio system.
00:46:08
Kyle Urig
We have one central dispatcher. Uh, she actually works from home. She doesn't work from the office. And, uh, we have two different like softwares that we use. Uh, one comes from the fire service.
00:46:21
Kyle Urig
I am responding. That's what we use to page out all of our guys.
00:46:26
The SnowJobs Podcast
No shit.
00:46:26
Kyle Urig
Um,
00:46:26
The SnowJobs Podcast
Really?
00:46:27
Kyle Urig
Yeah, yeah.
00:46:28
The SnowJobs Podcast
Holy crap.
00:46:28
Kyle Urig
And yeah, yeah, we, yeah, we use it at the fire departments.
00:46:29
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's still out there and you can still use that. I am responding.
00:46:34
Kyle Urig
That's obviously how I knew about it.
00:46:34
The SnowJobs Podcast
Wow.
00:46:35
Kyle Urig
And they were able to set up some relays for us and whatnot. So that's what we use for dispatching all the guys out and our messaging and, and then the radio system, once they get to their trucks and their machines, everything's done by the radio and logged into our, our software.
00:46:52
Kyle Urig
And so, Yeah, it's a it's a great thing. None of that was really highlighted because there was just the one basically sidewalk event when they went out.
00:47:04
RICK JAMES
Alright.
00:47:05
Kyle Urig
Brandon knows more about that shit than I do. He's way more tech sad than want.
00:47:08
Brandon
The good thing about Am Responding is obviously planned events where we know the night before that we're sending guys out where they have a set start time is easy. But those storms, lake effect storms at 3 o'clock, it's snowing, nothing on radar wasn't planned.
00:47:25
Brandon
We have to try to get all the guys up. I Am Responding, we can basically override their do not disturb on their phone. So they have their phone on silent, I am responding is still going to go off at full volume. So it's a way for us to and ensure that our employees are getting the message and that way we can provide prompt service to our customers.
00:47:47
The SnowJobs Podcast
Nice.
00:47:48
Brandon
So that's the reason that we went with I am responding over other messaging apps and dispatching because it gave us that capability to do that.
00:47:57
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah, that's awesome. They've been in the game a long time because, I mean, I remember that was probably the early 2000s that we had that in in our neck of the woods and the volunteers.
00:48:08
The SnowJobs Podcast
So, yeah, that the we haven't had them forever.
00:48:10
Kyle Urig
works good.
00:48:11
The SnowJobs Podcast
I didn't even know they were still out there. That's awesome.
00:48:13
Kyle Urig
Yeah, it works good.
00:48:13
The SnowJobs Podcast
It's still in the game.
00:48:15
Brandon
Yeah, I think Kyle put something on, fate made like a Facebook post asking if anybody had any recommendations on like software.
00:48:15
Kyle Urig
There's a...
00:48:21
Kyle Urig
Yep, that's how it came about.
00:48:21
Brandon
And somebody said that as a joke and a comment, somebody on the fire department. And then here we are using it to dispatch.
00:48:28
The SnowJobs Podcast
It works. If it works.
00:48:28
Brandon
ah without
00:48:29
Kyle Urig
Yeah.
00:48:29
Brandon
and and So it definitely works.
00:48:29
RICK JAMES
That's
00:48:32
Kyle Urig
Yeah.
00:48:32
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's awesome. I like that.
00:48:35
Kyle Urig
I think there's a spot in the one episode where it might show like the alert when it came across my phone. I think that part was in there, but yeah, we could do
00:48:47
RICK JAMES
I know the one part on your phone was
00:48:52
RICK JAMES
Patrick Salmon was on your phone. yeah
00:48:53
Kyle Urig
yeah Yeah, Patrick Salmon's on the phone a lot in the winter days. Yeah.
00:49:00
The SnowJobs Podcast
but
00:49:01
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:49:02
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah Is he, ah he's dealing with a specific problem with a specific piece of equipment.
00:49:05
Kyle Urig

00:51:47
RICK JAMES
so So, we went through your episode. The episode, we all agree, it was great. Obviously, we didn't get the snow, but we got to show some snow footage at the end. I mean, that you guys did, what, two, three days later, and you guys killed it.
00:51:55
Kyle Urig
Yeah.
00:51:57
Kyle Urig
Yep.
00:51:59
RICK JAMES
I mean, what's a snow event like that usually take you guys to do, you know,
Operations and Unexpected Moments
00:52:04
RICK JAMES
to run your routes?
00:52:04
Brandon
Yes.
00:52:05
Kyle Urig
o I would say everything's set up pretty much for five, six hours for a start-stop.
00:52:11
RICK JAMES
Nice.
00:52:12
The SnowJobs Podcast
Mm-hmm.
00:52:12
Kyle Urig
You get lake effect that kicks in and shit that keeps going. That's a different story, but yeah, a full stop start, four to six hours. So...
00:52:24
RICK JAMES
With your OK.
00:52:24
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh, I got one for you.
00:52:25
RICK JAMES
Oh. like it.
00:52:26
The SnowJobs Podcast
I got one from my son, actually, like because he he watched it and he saw the tinted glass on the loaders. And he said, Dad, how come you don't have any tinted glass? I'm like, honestly, i don't know.
00:52:38
The SnowJobs Podcast
I've never had a machine with tinted glass. how How much darker does that make your sight at night?
00:52:43
Kyle Urig
It's not bad. i personally love it.
00:52:45
The SnowJobs Podcast
It's not bad.
00:52:46
Kyle Urig
I love it.
00:52:46
The SnowJobs Podcast
Okay.
00:52:47
Kyle Urig
There's some operators that are one operator, Ryan.
00:52:48
RICK JAMES
ah like
00:52:53
Kyle Urig
He like refuses to run a loader without it. It's got to have it. But then you get some of the older guys and they're like, rip this shit off the windows, you know? But, uh, yeah, almost all of our shits tend to, as far as trucks go and then machine.
00:53:03
RICK JAMES
yeah i love it looks cool that's cool no i wait
00:53:08
Kyle Urig
Yeah.
00:53:09
The SnowJobs Podcast
Does it screw with your vision though at night?
00:53:11
Kyle Urig
Not mine.
00:53:12
The SnowJobs Podcast
No.
00:53:13
Kyle Urig
don't know. Brandon, i don't know what your thoughts are on it, but
00:53:15
Brandon
No, I mean, it doesn't mess with mine either. um But some people, like said, don't like it. So I guess it's personal preference.
00:53:22
RICK JAMES
i think once once you have it it's hard not to have it to be honest because like
00:53:25
Kyle Urig
I can't, man.
00:53:26
The SnowJobs Podcast
Hmm.
00:53:26
Kyle Urig
I can't drive a vehicle without it.
00:53:27
The SnowJobs Podcast
It's like snow tires.
00:53:28
Kyle Urig
Yeah, exactly.
00:53:29
RICK JAMES
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's pretty, i mean, and looks cool, and it's, yeah, it's, mean, I don't know.
00:53:30
Kyle Urig
Exactly.
00:53:35
RICK JAMES
We don't have any tinted here. um The Silver Bolt's got a bunch of stuff tinted, like, black on his stuff, but, I mean, yeah my pickup's all tinted and windshield and everything.
00:53:41
Kyle Urig
Yeah.
00:53:46
RICK JAMES
Without it, is it's weird.
00:53:47
Kyle Urig
Yep.
00:53:49
RICK JAMES
So, but, yep.
00:53:49
Brandon
For sure.
00:53:50
Kyle Urig
that That was a signature look before I before i sold my excavating company. Like, all my shit was tinted. It's just the way it was. But now it's just own too much shit, I guess.
00:54:03
Kyle Urig
We would need a full-time tint guy.
00:54:03
RICK JAMES
Yeah. It's tough to find a tent guide that'll do a lot of equipment too.
00:54:06
Kyle Urig
Yeah, we got a good one. We got a good one.
00:54:09
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:54:09
Kyle Urig
We might be coming out to Storm to tend a loader with him.
00:54:14
RICK JAMES
I heard that. heard that.
00:54:15
Kyle Urig
Yeah. I don't know if i told you about that, Brandon.
00:54:16
RICK JAMES
The 321 needs to get tinned in.
00:54:18
Kyle Urig
Steve needs a loader tended.
00:54:19
Brandon

The SnowJobs Podcast
Would you say it'd be a lock?
00:54:36
Kyle Urig
It's always a lock. Right? Yeah.
00:54:39
The SnowJobs Podcast
It's lock. You'd do it again.
00:54:41
Kyle Urig
What would I change? I would have weather works.
00:54:42
RICK JAMES
What would you change if you could change anything out of the...
00:54:43
Kyle Urig
No, i'm just kidding.
00:54:45
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah nice. That was a nice shot.
00:54:47
RICK JAMES
ah
00:54:49
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's nice shot.
00:54:53
RICK JAMES
You want me to be there, right?
00:54:54
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah
00:54:54
RICK JAMES
That's that's what you'd change? You need me out there?
00:54:56
Kyle Urig
Definitely.
00:54:57
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:54:58
Kyle Urig
ah
00:54:58
The SnowJobs Podcast
Why didn't you go, Jay?
00:54:59
Kyle Urig
Honestly, you had snow, didn't you?
00:55:01
RICK JAMES
Because we had snow like in the forecast. so
00:55:04
Kyle Urig
Yeah.
00:55:04
The SnowJobs Podcast
Did you actually get it though?
00:55:06
RICK JAMES
Yeah, we got a little. I think it was like on the Monday or whatever. I don't remember.
00:55:11
The SnowJobs Podcast
Was it 0.10 to one inch?
00:55:13
RICK JAMES
Pretty much just what it was.
00:55:14
The SnowJobs Podcast
How
00:55:15
Kyle Urig
How'd you guess that?
00:55:16
RICK JAMES
But yeah, I know i was like, ah like i was like ah want to be there, but I got to be here in case we get this.
00:55:17
Kyle Urig
How'd you guess?
00:55:18
The SnowJobs Podcast
did I like guess?
00:55:18
The SnowJobs Podcast
i don't know how I guess that.
00:55:20
Kyle Urig
Yeah.
00:55:24
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
00:55:25
Kyle Urig
Yeah.
00:55:25
RICK JAMES
know it's stupid, but I do. Yeah.
00:55:28
Kyle Urig
No, the only thing I would change is um we were really behind. We still are behind on branding shit. Like, it's just a struggle. We've gotten better, but we had, like, nothing branded.
00:55:41
Kyle Urig
um Our shop was a fucking disaster. Like, we didn't have shit set It was early, you know.
00:55:48
Kyle Urig
Honestly, we just weren't really... We weren't to the point that I would have wanted to be to have guests here just to like really showcase how organized we can be and how organized we we are.
00:55:48
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:56:02
RICK JAMES
Right.
00:56:02
Kyle Urig
But it's real life. I mean, there was there was nothing getting about it.
00:56:05
RICK JAMES
But yeah, we really appreciate i mean we appreciate you letting us in, obviously, to show your stuff, even though it wasn't picture perfect how you want it.
00:56:05
The SnowJobs Podcast
It is.
00:56:12
Kyle Urig
Yeah, yeah.
00:56:12
RICK JAMES
i mean, it was, like you say, real life. So we really appreciate you letting us do that. so
00:56:16
The SnowJobs Podcast
but
00:56:17
Brandon
Yeah.
00:56:17
The SnowJobs Podcast
It's better than most, dude. It's way better than most. i mean most guys out there will self admit it's like a dumpster fire.
00:56:21
RICK JAMES
Just thinking about the Sean's place. Just thinking about the Sean's place.
00:56:24
Kyle Urig
Yeah.
00:56:24
The SnowJobs Podcast
Like,
00:56:25
The SnowJobs Podcast
Dude, can you, like, that was November. Like, you know, I'd say a lot of guys out there, you get an event creeping up on you in November, it's like a dumpster fire getting ready for it.
00:56:28
Kyle Urig
ah
00:56:37
Brandon
Yeah.
00:56:37
Kyle Urig
Yeah.
00:56:37
The SnowJobs Podcast
So.
00:56:37
Brandon
It wasn't the first event of the year. I mean, we had a but one more dry run through or,
00:56:43
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep.
00:56:43
Brandon
but Just for not only us with the equipment and everything else, but just have more of the guys out that had a better idea what's going on rather than just spurting it out.
00:56:49
Kyle Urig
Right.
00:56:51
The SnowJobs Podcast
Sure.
00:56:52
Kyle Urig
Right.
00:56:53
Brandon
Um,
00:56:53
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's a tough one to do.
00:56:53
Kyle Urig
That's another thing is there was a lot of guys. I mean, obviously there's a ton of guys that were not showcased in the film and that's not what it's about though.
00:57:01
RICK JAMES
you
00:57:02
Kyle Urig
Um, but you know, it it, it is cool to see, see more of the people, more faces and film. Um, there's ah There's one part, I remember the one night when Steve went with a crew off to a route that's like kind of far farther away from our other stuff.
00:57:18
Kyle Urig
I have no idea what they even did, honestly. I know they had snow snow there. I think they might have plowed. I really don't know. I haven't even...
00:57:26
RICK JAMES
think he shoveled.
00:57:27
Kyle Urig
like Steve did shovel.
00:57:27
RICK JAMES
Steve told me he was shoveling. He called me and told me, no I'm shoveling.
00:57:29
Brandon
Yeah, I think they shoveled sidewalks.
00:57:30
RICK JAMES
him Yeah.
00:57:31
Kyle Urig
Yeah.
00:57:31
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:57:32
Kyle Urig
Yeah. So like, that was kind of cool to not even be involved.
00:57:33
The SnowJobs Podcast
Good old Arctic Steve
00:57:37
Kyle Urig
Like, i don't even know what's going on over there. I know it's handled, you know, but, uh, they're just doing their thing.
00:57:41
RICK JAMES
Yep. Mm-hmm.
00:57:42
Kyle Urig
And, and that was like its own set of film with that crew. So that's cool.
00:57:48
Brandon
I think Ghost Dog did a really good job of making sure we weren't staging stuff.
00:57:49
The SnowJobs Podcast
Very cool.
00:57:53
Brandon
like They wanted real-life footage.
00:57:54
Kyle Urig
Oh yeah. Yeah.
00:57:56
Brandon
it i mean They would ask what we're doing, but they weren't. like telling us to do something just, just because they had the camera in front of them.
00:58:01
Kyle Urig
Yep. Right.
00:58:03
Brandon
I mean, they just kind of stood back and made sure they videotaping everything. And um it's pretty awesome what all those different shots, small shots that they took, like ended up to be,
00:58:07
Kyle Urig
ye
00:58:16
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah, no, we were adamant about that. There will be no staging. There will be no manufactured, you know, anything. Just film what the guys are doing. That's and's going to make for a good enough show right there, you know.
00:58:23
Kyle Urig
right
00:58:27
Kyle Urig
And even just on the spot, the everyone keeps talking about my my speech or whatever when we were driving. We were spraying Brian. like I was spraying Brian and then just out of nowhere, where there's a fucking camera in my face and ah got grilled with these questions. like There was no time to think.
00:58:43
Kyle Urig
It was just on the spot, like right now.
00:58:44
RICK JAMES
yeah
00:58:46
Kyle Urig
What what are you saying? so
00:58:48
Kyle Urig
And that was cool because that's like that's one of the best parts. that's But seriously, that was one of the best parts about the whole episode.
00:58:48
RICK JAMES
yeah yeah maddie would do that maddie would do that yep
00:58:54
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah, no, was great Handled it, you handled it very well I liked it
00:58:55
Kyle Urig
So...
00:58:59
Kyle Urig
they were They were phenomenal. I've got nothing but good things to say about them. so
00:59:04
The SnowJobs Podcast
Very good
00:59:05
RICK JAMES
Like today, I was at my son's baseball game, and one of my buddies was there, and he's like, haven't seen him for a while, and like, Yeah, so I watched your guys' show. was cool and everything. I go, Zach wants to come. goes, did you guys stage any fights or anything?
00:59:18
RICK JAMES
I'm like, no, we didn't do anything. goes, you guys don't have any... I said, oh, yeah, there's plenty of drama. Because I just got the hard drive from our event. like I got all the shit back from Matt and Maddie.
00:59:25
Kyle Urig
Yeah. Yeah.
00:59:27
RICK JAMES
um There's some stuff in there. I'm like, huh, I wonder if I should post this. Like, one's me talking on the phone.
00:59:31
Kyle Urig
yeah
00:59:34
RICK JAMES
A guy that said was going to be here, and he's not there. I get out for him. I'm all pissed
Adaptability and Gratitude
00:59:37
RICK JAMES
off. like, you fucking said you're going to be here.
00:59:37
Kyle Urig
Right.
00:59:39
RICK JAMES
You're not here. Like... That's normal shit that goes on with us guys that got to do this.
00:59:42
The SnowJobs Podcast
yeah
00:59:43
Kyle Urig
Yep.
00:59:44
RICK JAMES
i you know or You're dependent on stuff to go right, and obviously it never does, all of it, so you change on the fly and make it work, which we always do.
00:59:54
Kyle Urig
Right.
00:59:55
The SnowJobs Podcast
i think that's why i think that's why storm chasing with snow jobs works and i think that's why the podcast works because everybody watching everybody listening at least 10 times during an episode is like yep
00:59:55
Kyle Urig
Right.
01:00:07
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep, that's us. Yep, that I've been there. yeah i mean, we all it's all the same shitburger. We all just take different size bites.
01:00:15
Kyle Urig
Yep.
01:00:15
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's it. We all go through the same exact stuff. I think that's why it works.
01:00:19
Kyle Urig
Definitely.
01:00:19
RICK JAMES
Yep.
01:00:20
Brandon
