Another, I mean, so Mo 136 00:07:08,959 --> 00:07:13,439 and dark Star together that combo I think for that scene, 137 00:07:14,279 --> 00:07:16,000 for the jam band scene, people like. 138 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:23,079 Speaker 1: Whoa yeah, which Goose, by the way, is one I'm 139 00:07:23,079 --> 00:07:27,879 sorry one too, Okay, it's so good. 140 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 4: Eggie is also like an up and coming jam band, 141 00:07:31,079 --> 00:07:33,839 and Galactic from New Orleans, who like I mean, they're 142 00:07:33,839 --> 00:07:35,519 like a staple in New Orleans. 143 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,319 Speaker 1: So do you know the I mean, did you have 144 00:07:37,399 --> 00:07:38,519 a hand in getting these? 145 00:07:38,759 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 4: Yeah? 146 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:40,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, So some of it was. 147 00:07:40,839 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 4: Already set in motion kind of when I when I 148 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,720 came on board, so I kind of just went with 149 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,879 what time it was already trying to do. But what 150 00:07:49,959 --> 00:07:54,639 I realized quick, so booking bands it's a tough world. 151 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:59,199 It's a tough industry, you know. I didn't realize how 152 00:07:59,199 --> 00:07:59,680 tough it was. 153 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,399 Speaker 1: A lot of times you're looking at their schedule if 154 00:08:02,439 --> 00:08:05,519 they if they have an off day and they're going 155 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,399 to let's say a buffalo, can they come on a 156 00:08:07,439 --> 00:08:08,959 Saturday here or a Friday here? 157 00:08:09,079 --> 00:08:11,639 Speaker 4: What I found out it's like, I mean, at least 158 00:08:11,639 --> 00:08:13,600 this year we didn't luck out like that. I think 159 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,480 the bigger your festival gets you you have the chance 160 00:08:16,519 --> 00:08:19,079 of people kind of running the festival circuit sequentially. 161 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 1: Yep, yep, but pretty much. 162 00:08:21,199 --> 00:08:25,319 Speaker 4: Festivals, you know your pay, you gotta fly the band in. 163 00:08:25,439 --> 00:08:27,160 So obviously it's a larger cause. 164 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,879 Speaker 1: I'm looking at this like the record company is they're 165 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:34,840 they're a great band.

Yeah, you know, it's like a 174 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:54,919 lot of people don't know who they are, but when 175 00:08:54,919 --> 00:08:57,159 they see them. That band was a lot of fun. Yeah, 176 00:08:57,279 --> 00:09:00,559 every band, which we're gonna have a Spotify playlist released 177 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,159 in days once I take the time to do it. 178 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,240 But like every band's good, every band has good songs, 179 00:09:07,399 --> 00:09:09,879 and it's uh and every band's good live and that's 180 00:09:09,879 --> 00:09:12,799 a big thing too, like us.

Just look up a YouTube video, 187 00:09:26,639 --> 00:09:28,799 just type Joan Jet twenty twenty four and just watch 188 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,039 her live and tell me she's a grandma.

She's sixty six years Young's amazing. 190 00:09:33,879 --> 00:09:37,639 Speaker 1: She's she's great and matter of fact, the Sunday Night 191 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:44,039 football theme is based on uh, I hate what was 192 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,720 I hate being in love with you or something like that. 193 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,480 I hate myself from loving you? Is the Sunday Night 194 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,039 football theme is that. Yeah, that's what they took and 195 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,399 in one year she came out and sang it with 196 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,440 Carrie Underwood. Yeah, but this is always one of my 197 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:03,080 favorite Jets. Yeah, yeah, she's gonna come and rock. 198 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,200 Speaker 4: Yeah in ironic in a park in erotic Quay. 199 00:10:06,279 --> 00:10:09,759 Speaker 1: Why do people have what? What good is going to 200 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,039 come from saying. You know, you remember the old adage 201 00:10:13,159 --> 00:10:15,720 if you have nothing nice to say. I wouldn't have 202 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,559 a job if I didn't have anything nice to say, 203 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,519 you know, if I said it was nice stuff. But 204 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:21,799 what's the point of that? 205 00:10:22,159 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 4: I think too, there's an assumption that like legacy acts 206 00:10:25,879 --> 00:10:29,200 is like synonymous with washed up. Yeah, and and sure 207 00:10:29,399 --> 00:10:31,519 like don't jet open the door for. 208 00:10:31,519 --> 00:10:33,519 Speaker 1: A lot of people. Man, you know that's the thing 209 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:34,639 A little. 210 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 4: Respect she is not. I mean, she is fully on 211 00:10:38,399 --> 00:10:40,480 all cylinders, if not better in her like her band 212 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:44,399 the Black Hearts. I mean it's like again, just come 213 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:45,840 to the show and you'll see. 214 00:10:45,879 --> 00:10:48,519 Speaker 1: Well as a as a co sponsor. So I'm I'm 215 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:52,000 assuming now right now it's it's in a great spot 216 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:56,919 down by the lake in Eastman, Duran, Eastman Park. I 217 00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,320 got to think that not to get too far ahead 218 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,720 of ourselves and we'll be all over the place in 219 00:11:01,759 --> 00:11:03,919 this conversation a little bit. But well, how do you 220 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,679 see it like in five years, like the vibe and stuff, 221 00:11:07,799 --> 00:11:10,679 and you've got to go beyond this in your head. 222 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,279 I gotta think, yeah, I. 223 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 4: Mean a little bit, but I'm like one I more 224 00:11:16,279 --> 00:11:18,320 I think that we just get through this year and 225 00:11:18,399 --> 00:11:21,759 see how Rochester responds. But I think Timy and I 226 00:11:21,759 --> 00:11:25,120 felt like there's this void in what we're creating. You know, 227 00:11:25,159 --> 00:11:27,759 it's like Rochester is a festival city, but there's no 228 00:11:27,919 --> 00:11:32,320 like actual rock rock being of course country, jam, yeah, 229 00:11:32,399 --> 00:11:36,039 punk anything, you know it's like, but actual rock festival, 230 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,519 there's nothing like it. There's not this whiskey tasting experience. 231 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:39,679 Speaker 1: No. 232 00:11:41,399 --> 00:11:44,080 Speaker 4: So I'll know on Friday, that's when tickets go on. 233 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,679 Speaker 1: Sales, tickets going and you can get the early bird 234 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:50,320 tickets through May, through the anime through then, and they're 235 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,519 great prices. Yeah, I saw the prices. They were great, 236 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:58,279 but that the four day double ten three cigar or 237 00:11:58,320 --> 00:11:59,399 three day excuse me. 238 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,879 Speaker 4: Three day, which is well, there's going to feel like 239 00:12:01,919 --> 00:12:05,360 four after all the well, no, I saw. It's funny. 240 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,519 One of my things. I want to be the reason 241 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,360 everyone in Rochester takes off of work on that Monday 242 00:12:10,399 --> 00:12:12,919 and the like. That's that's that's the goal. But it 243 00:12:12,919 --> 00:12:15,519 have to be a killer weekend. But the pricing, it 244 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,679 is a good price, but it's like I've never seen 245 00:12:18,759 --> 00:12:21,120 anyone who had a first year and now second year 246 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,960 festival get the amount of his sponsors that Tommy got. 247 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,879 So we'll always throw out the names of sponsors because 248 00:12:26,919 --> 00:12:30,480 like they essentially are subsidizing ticket prices and allowing us 249 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,559 to create this big, massive thing the first year without sponsors. 250 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,159 Speaker 1: Who was supplying all the tents and stuff? 251 00:12:35,279 --> 00:12:39,399 Speaker 4: Yeah, we ared a company out of Buffalo. 252 00:12:40,919 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 1: So all right, how does the pitch go to Irondequoit 253 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,519 to say, hey, this is an idea we want and 254 00:12:48,399 --> 00:12:50,320 or how did you even find the spot? Maybe we 255 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,600 should start there? Like So. 256 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,759 Speaker 4: It's weird that like when we started like looking for spots, 257 00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,919 were we realized like with what we're trying to do, 258 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:00,519 We're like. 259 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, Yeah, there's a lot of places in Rochester. 260 00:13:03,159 --> 00:13:06,039 Speaker 4: But nothing's fitting like this vibe of what we want 261 00:13:06,159 --> 00:13:08,759 right Like and I like, obviously like we've had a 262 00:13:08,799 --> 00:13:10,600 lot of luck with the Holiday Village downtown. It's a 263 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,679 great event, yep, Parcel five, but like there's things about 264 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,600 it that are limiting, particularly the number of people you 265 00:13:16,639 --> 00:13:17,039 can get. 266 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 1: In the right Highland Bowl. 267 00:13:18,039 --> 00:13:20,399 Speaker 4: I love Highland Bowl, Highland Park, but it's like, first 268 00:13:20,399 --> 00:13:23,759 of all, just doing work that's very It's an amazing park. 269 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:27,120 Lilac Festival is an amazing event, but like it is 270 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,320 very challenging to build that as a site and actually 271 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,080 try to get more than a few thousand people in there. 272 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,799 Speaker 1: Okay, so that's a lot of your knowledge that you'll 273 00:13:36,799 --> 00:13:37,159 bring in. 274 00:13:37,279 --> 00:13:38,559 Speaker 4: Yeah, just because I've been you know what I mean, 275 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,919 and really sit her and think about it, though, like 276 00:13:41,519 --> 00:13:43,480 think about it, you know. I'm like, Okay, the dome 277 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,440 Marina parking lot, no, like you know, I'm just like 278 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,759 And then I was like, hmmm, Octoberfest has not been 279 00:13:50,799 --> 00:13:54,840 a thing in Aroundequoys since twenty nineteen. And actually the 280 00:13:54,919 --> 00:13:57,960 idea started with I'm like, let me go check it out. 281 00:13:58,039 --> 00:14:02,080 And then I saw there's mass of soccer fields in 282 00:14:02,159 --> 00:14:05,080 the back, which I knew. My first question and we'll 283 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,480 get into this later, would be can these soccer fields 284 00:14:07,519 --> 00:14:10,080 be used for parking? Because they are like solid, like 285 00:14:10,159 --> 00:14:13,279 it's actually just like two inches of dirt and then stone. 286 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,399 It's there, solid fields. So I'm like, okay, we got 287 00:14:16,399 --> 00:14:19,279 this one area with all this infrastructure, there's just simple 288 00:14:19,279 --> 00:14:21,440 things like running water, even if it's only a few 289 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,279 host bect's having a running water at a festival. I 290 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,320 believe the power there for Octoberfest is eight hundred amps 291 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,919 of Power. Okay, there's lodges, there's actual like brick and 292 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:32,960 mortar bathrooms. They just put in like brand new bathrooms. 293 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,679 So there's these things that a lot of other places 294 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:39,320 aren't available, and that's kind of how it started. But 295 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,840 my idea was, I'm like, you know what, I'm gonna 296 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,559 go to the town of Roneicoid and say, we want 297 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,480 to do this festival, but then why don't you piggyback 298 00:14:47,559 --> 00:14:51,039 on us and you can bring back Octoberfest. Was the idea. 299 00:14:52,279 --> 00:14:53,559 And then I found out who had to call, and 300 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,919 I kind of presented it and they were interested right away, 301 00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:00,120 but they said, you know, for whatever reason, it's like 302 00:15:00,159 --> 00:15:02,240 Octoberfest kind of like it did its thing and ran 303 00:15:02,279 --> 00:15:04,360 its course. But they're like, but we're really excited about 304 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,320 your event, and they're all in, you know what I mean. 305 00:15:06,399 --> 00:15:09,600 And they were all in to the point that they're 306 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,200 giving us enough support that they're the title sponsor. 307 00:15:12,399 --> 00:15:16,639 Speaker 1: The town of Veronically Ironico. Okay, cool, yep, man, that's amazing. Yeah, well, 308 00:15:16,679 --> 00:15:21,200 it's an underutilized space. It's totally you're You're right. I 309 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,639 don't even even know if Irish Fest happens anymore. 310 00:15:24,559 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 4: Nothing happens there now. 311 00:15:25,879 --> 00:15:28,519 Speaker 1: Why right, just since COVID, Just. 312 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,679 Speaker 4: Since COVID, I think, you know, uh, COVID did a 313 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,679 lot of good things for some people, some businesses, and 314 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,159 it also killed a lot of things. I mean, you know, 315 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:37,879 even in my industry. I you know a lot of 316 00:15:37,919 --> 00:15:41,159 businesses people were already like almost retired when COVID hit. 317 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,000 There's like I'm done. Yeah, a lot of people just 318 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:44,879 like close up shop. 319 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 1: Yeah. 320 00:15:45,759 --> 00:15:49,879 Speaker 4: And I think that producing events, the cost, especially for 321 00:15:49,919 --> 00:15:53,799 events that the entry was a low fee, if not free, 322 00:15:54,919 --> 00:15:57,879 everything's got too expensive everything. 323 00:15:58,039 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, So this, I think this is just such 324 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,480 a cool to me. I feel like you keep talking 325 00:16:04,519 --> 00:16:08,799 about a vibe. What is the vibe because I'm looking 326 00:16:08,799 --> 00:16:12,000 at it. It's more that jam band hanging out. It 327 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,879 has a vibe to it. You're right, but you're looking 328 00:16:14,919 --> 00:16:17,519 for space that matches that. What is that vibe to 329 00:16:17,639 --> 00:16:20,120 you in your How would you describe it? 330 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,759 Speaker 4: I guess the vibes to me, which I would stick with, 331 00:16:22,759 --> 00:16:26,840 like Tommy's original vision, which is tagline would be cultivate 332 00:16:26,879 --> 00:16:33,200 the uncommon and unfortunately the uncommon these days are you 333 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:37,000 know in the world of Amazon, Starbucks, Walmart, is actual 334 00:16:37,279 --> 00:16:41,399 just you know, handcrafted beer, which, by the way, we 335 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,600 have a free beer tasting at the event. Really if 336 00:16:44,639 --> 00:16:47,399 you have a general mission ticket, it's free beer tasting. 337 00:16:48,879 --> 00:16:52,960 But local food, local craft makers. We're gonna have up 338 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:57,080 to twenty craftmakers. It's all funky, local made trinkets, things 339 00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,320 that actually, Timmy, they do a craft show I think 340 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:03,279 every quarter, and Iron Smoke and also just the whiskey 341 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:07,839 makers like actual we actually some of the distillers are big, 342 00:17:07,839 --> 00:17:09,799 and that's really exciting, but there's also a lot of 343 00:17:09,799 --> 00:17:12,759 just smaller, small shops, especially out of New York State. 344 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:16,519 Speaker 1: Okay, that's really cool. Tommy's always been and I'm sure 345 00:17:16,559 --> 00:17:21,559 you will step right into this too, supportive of the 346 00:17:21,599 --> 00:17:24,839 local community, right in terms of he'll ask you to 347 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,799 buy the whiskey if you like an Iron Smoke whiskey 348 00:17:28,039 --> 00:17:31,559 from a liquor store, because it helps the local liquor 349 00:17:31,599 --> 00:17:34,400 store owner instead of and he goes, I'll actually charge 350 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,960 you more if you buy it from the distillery. So 351 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:38,720 I always thought was like, I'm like, man, that is 352 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,680 pretty cool. I think, yeah, it is right, and I 353 00:17:43,759 --> 00:17:47,039 love the idea of bringing everybody together with all these 354 00:17:47,039 --> 00:17:49,400 different there's something about that whole community and I don't 355 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,440 know if you've been. I know you've been around a 356 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,279 lot of these festivals and things like the beer tastings. 357 00:17:54,799 --> 00:17:58,079 There's something about that community where, you know, when I 358 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:02,079 was in radio, it was is we did we wanted 359 00:18:02,079 --> 00:18:04,200 to attack the other guy. There were these street fights. 360 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,519 I once had a when I worked at CMF, they 361 00:18:06,559 --> 00:18:08,680 had a bat light. We bought a bat light and 362 00:18:08,759 --> 00:18:12,200 it would beam the CMF logo. Right. And I'm twenty, 363 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,319 I'm younger than my kids are, and I'm driving this 364 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,119 mobile home rock and roll, and I go up to 365 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,359 a Nerve event and I flash the light out a 366 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:24,400 Nerve yeah right, right, So I'm just showing you, like, okay, 367 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,599 So there was no togetherness. It was like we're against 368 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,839 each other. Then I watched the beer industry and it's 369 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,680 like a rising keg floats all kegs because these guys 370 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,960 all help each other out, like, you know, hey, you 371 00:18:38,319 --> 00:18:41,400 need help bottling, we can cover your bottling if some 372 00:18:41,519 --> 00:18:45,079 a machine went down. I'm like, that's a totally different 373 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:49,119 vibe and it seems to be one that is expanding 374 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,640 beyond those industries now, you know, And that's what I love. 375 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,519 And to me, this is just a cool. It's like 376 00:18:55,519 --> 00:18:59,319 a laid back, cool festival, which I think would be 377 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,960 with the music and stuff you've got spanning generations, bringing 378 00:19:04,079 --> 00:19:07,279 families hanging out. I mean I really see that as 379 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:11,519 is a really cool thing about it, right, you know, 380 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,039 beyond then just there are certain festivals you're not going 381 00:19:15,079 --> 00:19:16,400 to bring your kids to and stuff, but this is 382 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:17,920 one where you go, hey, man, you're going to love 383 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:18,920 this music. I think so. 384 00:19:19,279 --> 00:19:21,559 Speaker 4: And not only that, like the way we're designing it, 385 00:19:21,559 --> 00:19:25,759 it's like the actual drinking experiences are separate. Yeah, I mean, 386 00:19:25,799 --> 00:19:28,039 it's like it's twenty one and over. It's not there's 387 00:19:28,079 --> 00:19:30,640 not a massive whiskey tasting you know, in the middle 388 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,400 of like a nursery or you know what I mean. 389 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,960 It's set to the side. But the exciting thing too 390 00:19:36,079 --> 00:19:39,119 is like, you know, kind of what you said is 391 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:40,519 what we have in our mind, right, it can be 392 00:19:40,559 --> 00:19:43,039 a family event, all these things, but like the exciting 393 00:19:43,079 --> 00:19:45,279 thing right now actually is like we don't know. 394 00:19:45,519 --> 00:19:46,039 Speaker 1: You know what I mean. 395 00:19:46,039 --> 00:19:48,160 Speaker 4: We know what we think it's going to be, yeah, 396 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:49,920 but we don't know what life it's going to take on. 397 00:19:50,039 --> 00:19:54,759 So we're in that like exciting, incubating phase of seeing 398 00:19:54,759 --> 00:19:58,319 where it goes when I started a company in two 399 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,880 thousand and seven. But it's like I guess I say, 400 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,039 I'm I'm kind of a sucker for the next adventure, right, 401 00:20:04,079 --> 00:20:05,279 So like once we've. 402 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,160 Speaker 1: Like, do you say you're a risk taker? Yeah? 403 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:08,519 Speaker 4: For sure. 404 00:20:08,599 --> 00:20:09,839 Speaker 1: Yeah you gotta be. 405 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:11,759 Speaker 4: Oh, I gotta be on the edge.

But then like when 408 00:20:16,279 --> 00:20:18,519 it gets really risky, I'm like, oh, this sucks, and 409 00:20:18,559 --> 00:20:19,799 then I get through it. Then I'm like, oh that 410 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:20,200 was cool. 411 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 1: This worked. 412 00:20:21,519 --> 00:20:26,039 Speaker 4: It's worked, okay, good. Yeah, Like even McCarthy Tenson events. 413 00:20:26,039 --> 00:20:28,880 I mean we never like dreamed of it. I have 414 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,240 eighty five year on employees now.

Yeah, So that kind of just I 425 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,039 mean that kept doing its thing, but I've kind of 426 00:20:57,079 --> 00:20:59,400 just done these other little side things along the way. 427 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,359 Speaker 1: One other little side things like I mean, well granted, 428 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,599 like the hoochin Anny, but and and the holidays a 429 00:21:06,599 --> 00:21:07,279 lot of village. 430 00:21:07,759 --> 00:21:13,359 Speaker 4: Uh. We started right before COVID, me and two of 431 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,079 the guys who worked with me. I want to give 432 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,200 everyone an opportunity. So I'm like, I'm gonna start a new business. 433 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,720 Who wants to buy in? And two people raise their 434 00:21:20,759 --> 00:21:24,920 hands and it was a restroom trailer company. Yeah, like 435 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,200 really fancy, Like yeah, are those the ones I see it? 436 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 1: Like Bill's training camp and stuff?

Okay, but yeah, So we 439 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:40,279 started that and we got through one season COVID hits 440 00:21:40,319 --> 00:21:43,200 and we're like ough. And then we started building a 441 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,640 bunch of COVID test sites that needed not only tents 442 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,960 but the restroom trailers. So then the rushroom Trailer company 443 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,759 like just took off. And long story short, we did 444 00:21:52,799 --> 00:21:55,480 that and then we sold it last year you did 445 00:21:55,680 --> 00:22:00,279 ye to another local company, So that was cool. Uh, 446 00:22:00,319 --> 00:22:04,119 And I actually this is a random one I I'm 447 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,279 a a franchise, ye, I guess.

So that's a separate company, Evolution Dome US, 451 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:18,960 where we do these. It's indoor and also outdoor, like 452 00:22:19,079 --> 00:22:21,559 mainly for like trade shows or like yeah, cool activations 453 00:22:21,599 --> 00:22:25,279 like like like Porsche and Parish does these inflatables that 454 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,279 our UK branch does that. So that's another thing on 455 00:22:28,319 --> 00:22:30,720 the side that one of my employees bought in, so 456 00:22:30,759 --> 00:22:33,359 we do that together.
