spk_1:   1:13
And I'm hanging in there like a hearing a biscuit. How about you?

spk_0:   1:16
The most Southern phrase ever love you fit right in. So we're filming this, uh, April 14th right in the middle of the ah Krone virus pandemic and all of that stuff. So, uh, this has been kind of weird for all yeah, uh, I was just thinking about it. Last week was the Masters. So you guys were used to, like, bugging out of town during the Masters, aren't you?

spk_1:   1:44
Yeah. A lot of folks will read their house out. You know, for that Masters week, the kids are out of school. A lot of the teachers actually get a driving job or a hospitality job during that week, you know, and make a little bit extra money. You know, there's a lot of catering to be done. A lot of hospitality S o. You know, Either you you do one of two things. Either you go on vacation, you rent your house out here. Either you stay and then, you know, you work 24 hours a day and you make a little bit of money in your pocket. You're able to go on vacation later on in the year. Yeah. Unfortunately, you know, the Masters was postponed, and you've got rescheduled for the ninth to the 15th of October. November. Excuse me. Goodness, because that's a huge, huge thing for the city. You know of Augusta and the CSR. A You know, a huge media money generator. Uh, you know, for our area. So we're super blessed to have that rescheduled and not canceled this year. But yet, you know, normally I would be cooking, you know, I would be catering. We would be doing the shows, you know, we would be selling grills normally a very, very hectic week. And for the first time, you know, as far as I can remember, it was the longest week I have literally ever had just sitting here trying to think of things to do. Yeah, honey, do list gets got done.

spk_0:   3:00
Well, you know, there's something to be said for that. The one of the main reasons I wanted to have your own is a ZAY said in the intro. You are the public relations manager, I think, is your exact title for wreck tech grills. And what? You're probably the most prominent public face of wreck tech now because you do the cooking shows on Facebook live. Uh, which, by the way, you're great. I watch a good many of them. So I wonder how in the world did you end up? How'd you get started at Wreck Tech?

spk_1:   3:35
Oh, wow, Esso. About seven years ago, I was working as a manager in bartender and a local pizza place. I come from a restaurant background on hospitality ever since I was 18 you know, either worked in a restaurant or for a caterer or, you know, hospitality company. Um, so that was my background coming going into college. And that's what got me through college. Um, you know, So I was just working for a restaurant and our general manager Bend, you know, he was, like, the third employee hired. Believe that the tom, You know, we were in a 3000 square foot, but we're building, you know, they were busting out of the scenes, and then they found a 20,000 square foot building across town literally had just moved, um, hired a gentleman, you know, a month before me. Ben comes up, you know, sits down and orders his normal slice of mushroom on a beverage. And he and I had worked with been previously other restaurants and bars, and so he knew. You know, maybe we have become good friends, and, uh, hey tells the story. Is he always He asked his wife. Man, I wish I could just find somebody kind of like me. Um and Megan looks at him and says, you need you need to clone yourself then And, you know, they laughed and you know, they go. They come to the restaurant that night and, you know, they both looked at me at the same time and then looked at each other and then look back at me. And I knew something was up. You know, I walked away and then I came back and Ben was like, Pan of you have You're doing such a great job. You know, you like being here, and I'm like, Yeah, you know, it's It's the restaurant business, you know? It has a subset downs and, you know, I see the same faces and he said, Well, you know, the girl company, it's going really, really fast. We need some good people, you know? You want to come and work for us. My gri offer me a job. He was like, Well, you know, I'd give it to you right now, but you have to come. An interview with Gray, the owner. That's the shirt. Let's let me go see what it's all about. So you know me going and thinking, You know how long is this place gonna be open? Um, so I go in office and you've been shuts the door? Yeah. And, you know, Ray interviews me and pretty much, you know, talked me into taking the job. There was no way that I was going to leave that office without working for wreck tech. Um, and Ray likes to sell the story that, you know, he there is footage of me having a dance off. Oh, really? The restaurants that I used to work at and Ray that was his last. That was his last question. Eyes. Hey. So back in, uh, you know, 2012. I heard through the grapevine that you lost the dance off with the gentleman. And, you know, once he busted out that question, I knew it was on from there, you know, Um, but after being talked into working for wreck tech ah showed up. You know, July 4th weekend, You know, it was busy then. You know, we would answer phones. We would ship stuff. We would run the forklift. We would load the trucks, we could unload the trucks, all of us. You know, Ray was our janitor. He would sweep the floors and vacuum. You know what? We did everything, Um, and he would do this well, but, you know, just kind of grew from there. And, you know, we have such a great product. And we have amazing word of mouth with everybody that purchases the girl. They absolutely love it. Tell their friends and they tell their family and Ray Iran, when they started the company really wanted to bring back that old school customer service. You know, if it broke, we gotta fix it. We gotta make it right. You know, even if it means, you know, embarrassing yourselves or anything like that, you've got to make it right, no matter what, you know, treat people like you want to be treated. But it all boils down to, um and, you know, with that in word of mouth and an amazing product, you know, we are. We're here. You know where we are now was technically the sales manager. Um, you know, and then it turned into a marketing director. Then it turned into a public relations which now I just mostly do the cooking shows. And we got a lot of barbecue cops and ah, lot of barbecue um, trade shows and things like that. And, you know, we just try to make connections. Um, you know, and, you know, put this face with the company, I guess, because unfortunately, we'll have a face for radio.

spk_0:   7:55
I was asking, right corns, The cofounder that you've mentioned. Ah, this question. We were talking about this about the customer service and one of things I asked him, and I'd be I'm interested to see from your perspective. How how do you How does Ray get you to buy in to their, uh, their leadership of great customer service, that if it's if it's not right, we're going to make it right?

spk_1:   8:25
Um, it was taught from day one. You know, it starts from the top and it works its way down. You know, Ray would make house calls. He would go to people's homes and diagnosis there, grill and fix it for them. You know, Ray gives his personal cell phone number. Ron's personal cell phone number had been our general manager. They all give their cell phone numbers to each and every customer, so it really all starts at the Tottenham top and just works it. It's waiting down to the bottom. And I believe in this product, you know? I know it works. It has turned me into hands down one of the one of the best cooks in my neighborhood, you know, if not my town. So, um, but it's easy when the part when you believe in the product. Sure. You know, it's it's super easy. Um, now if it you know, if our grill, you know, You know, I could see us getting a bunch of calls and all of all of us and all of you call people, you know, kind of get beat down every day. But, you know, it's nothing but positivity around this office, you know, and it And it feels good to, um, make make it right to people when they say, you know, when they get on the phone and they're upset about an issue, will say, for example, you know, and it's a self inflicted issue. And you kind of welcome through when you educate him, Um and you know, they realize, OK, well, And then they realized Wow, this guy really wants to help me, you know? Just doesn't They just didn't want my money, you know, we sweet say, You know, when you joined the family I mean, it's harder to getting out than it is to get in when you join us. I mean, you are joining the protect family. Um, you know, and it's all about, you know, the kind of a lifestyle that we have started the wreck tech lifestyle. It's all about treating people like they should be treated like you would want to be treated. But to sum it all up, you know, don't started at the top. You know, seen Ray and Ron had been sweat day in and day out, believing in the product and then me, you know, once you get it in your hands and you put it together because again, we're not in any big box stores. We don't have any dealers. So for folks toe purchase it on the side unseen. You know, it is a big step for them. And when they do and they get it, they start putting it together than they realize. Man, You know what? I made the right decision. Thank goodness. I just didn't buy something at the store, you know, And then just those constant calls of people instead of calling and, you know, being upset. They call, and they thank you. You know it. You know, it's just super super easy. You know, Thio, drink that Kool Aid. I'm saying so

spk_0:   11:03
what? You said something in your answer that I thought was really insightful. And it's really good for men to understand. And you said it feels good to do the right thing. That it's it's nice when a customer calls and there's an issue. And yet you're able to walk in through there, even if you even if it cost the company money, you had sent out another piece of equipment you know, another board or whatever. There's something inherent in men that they want to do the right thing. And it's got to be fulfilling toe work for a company that echoes that and, uh, almost reward you when you do the right thing. Because not all guys are blessed enough to work in a place like that.

spk_1:   11:46
Yeah, you said about full with that. You know, a lot of businesses are just worried about making that money getting in and getting out, you know? Oh, you bought it. Well, you bought it. Now it's yours. Is it no longer hours that you're So, um you know, And that was another thing that that drew me in, you know, was making making things right, You know? I know you know, our early stages of no right for the business and not what was right for the customer and then being corrected by Ray Ron had been No, no, no, no, no. That that's that's not being That's not doing right by the customer. Jody, that was doing right by us, which is a good job. But we got to do right by the customer. It is super easy to get drawn in by that. No, they're they're not tryingto trump anybody. They're not tryingto get over on anyone, you know, they join the family, and we're gonna take care of him even after their warranty runs out.

spk_0:   12:39
Yeah, that's so cool. So where'd you grow up, Jody?

spk_1:   12:43
So I grew up here, you know, a little suburb of Augusta called Harlem. Georgia. Right up the, um I was born and raised in Harlem, and I went to Georgia Southern University for college and Statesboro, Georgia, after that, You know, I thought, you know, it's time to go to the big city. It's time to go to Atlanta. Asked him to go to Savannah. That let me get out of here. You know, visit Augusta because the guy says a big, small town. You know, everybody kind of knows everybody. If you go one place you're going to see, you know, several people that you know And, you know, at the time, you know, I didn't like that. Yeah. So, um, my grandmother ended up, gets sick. And, you know, I moved home help or my mom and my step that even a passing away. And, you know, at that time, I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do in my life and what I'm going to do when I grew up. You know, um, and I still don't know, but, uh, but I just kind of, you know, again fell back into that, um, that safe haven of being in it, working at a restaurant or a hospitality group. And, um, you know, wanted up falling back in love with Augusta.

spk_0:   13:48
Wow. Well, you mentioned one of my favorite towns in the world in Savannah, Georgia, and more importantly, Tybee Island, Georgia. Yes. So that would be hard to walk back away from. But I've been in Augusta, so I kind of get I kind of get that. So, like, what was your first job? Your first real job? You said you've been in the food business or hospitality. Is that pretty much what you've always done?

spk_1:   14:12
Yes, sir. You know, I got my first job when I was 15 at Winn Dixie for Columbia Road and Martinez, Georgia. Um, stocking shelves, county money. I was actually the Santa Claus for the photo booth one year. Um, I didn't have my beard that I have now. They gave me one, but yeah, my first stop was just working at Winn Dixie. Um, after Winn Dixie, it was kind of retail, you know? And then I fell into the restaurant, you know, bar type of scene, um, cash daily. Yeah, it was. And then you could also, you know, work during the day if you wanted to. You know, it kind of make a, you know, kind of double dip, you know? So I fell in love with, you know, working all day. You know, I'm I'm I like working. Um, you know, I like having fun. But, you know, I'm not the type of person that hates hates a job. You know, if I if I choose to go there, you know, I'm gonna make sure that I like it. Yeah, um, and or I'm gonna find another one, you know, But I've always liked every job I've ever had. Always like the people I've worked with. I like money, and they kind of kind of got me into that. It z you know, you could think of it as, like, a downward spiral. You know, just working every day. You know, all day. You know, you've got, you know, the cash saved up, but you really don't have anywhere or anyone to kind of spend it with, um you know, so, you know, I had that kind of slow that down.

spk_0:   15:37
Yeah, I've got the two friends, two close friends that have been in the restaurant business really almost since we got out of school. How to high school back in the early eighties, and it appears to be one of those things of it. It either gets in your blood or it doesn't. And if it ever does get in your blood. It's impossible to shake it.

spk_1:   15:55
Absolutely. And that's where I kind of learned my my people skills, you know, and being comfortable around people and being able to talk, you know, two groups of people that is really and truly you know what has helped me, um, with the cooking show and being alive in front of the camera and, um is, you know, hey, you know, just waiting, waiting all these people's tables. That's it. You know,

spk_0:   16:21
that makes a lot of sense that you say it that way is many times if I've seen you on camera that that is how you present yourself on camera. I never thought about that until we just connected. Connected the dots because doing one of those kind of shows. Ah, I've done live TV and stuff before. That's not an easy thing to do unless you are comfortable in those kind of in that those kind of settings of talking to whomever or whatever, because, really, you're just trying to connect with a camera,

spk_1:   16:53
right? Right. And you know, it is it is difficult because we have two dead. Time is our enemy. You know, having silence is the enemy, you know, And then over years of practice, you know, luckily, wreck Tech has allowed me to practice a lot. Um, you know, I'm ableto and keep the conversational and keep the questions come in, answering things, you know, and kind of breaking down. You know what I'm doing, you know, as I do it. And again, it was if you go back and watch some of the early episodes of Fund A Friday or any of the lot of videos that we used to do, you know, it's really scary to watch that, you know, they let me continue to do that. You know, I would have been like a Let's get this guy out of here. Let's get it. Let's get, you know, new face in. But no, thank thank goodness sakes they stuck with. So

spk_0:   17:42
there's just something about wraps. I was a pastor for 11 years, and I had somebody come up to me one day and say they had some of the they had Ah ah oh, cassette tapes. That's how long ago it's been of some of my first sermons. And I told them I said, if you do not burn those immediately and destroy them so that nobody else will ever have to endure a listening to them. You and I are no longer gonna be friends, and you know it is. But the sad part about it not say it just the reality of it is the only way to get better at any kind of public speaking or doing what you do or doing TV or doing podcasts or whatever is just to do it. And you just Stuart just gonna suck for a little while. And that's just all there is to it.

spk_1:   18:28
Yeah. I mean, if if anybody else is out there watching this and they're looking to get into that, you know, don't let it discourage you. Um, you know, because unfortunately, you've got to kind of find your style that you've gotta find, Ah, your way of doing things and how you know how to make yourself feel comfortable. You know, getting through. You know that 30 45 minutes or whatever it is, you know that you've got to do your show. Um, yeah, I can't. Some Sometimes people will tag me and stuff off the old videos, and I just get so embarrassed. Um because I wasn't I wasn't good at all. But, you know, after watching Buddy, let's do it. Videos, you know, huge TV person or movie person. But thank goodness for YouTube and power of the Internet. Not ableto kind of watch, you know, 15 to 20 minutes, segments of other folks that are really, really good and learn from them. But you go back to, you know, you said, you know, you used to be a pastor. You know, one of my favorite people in the world is my pastor, Mr Frank. Think Pan is retired. But, you know, I picked up a lot of stuff from him just going back, remembering sitting, sitting in church, you know, next to next to my grandmother and just watching him, you know, project and kind of captivate me, keep me, you know, locked in. And, uh, it a lot of, you know, shut up, Pastor Frank. A lot of his, you know, stuff. You know, I have a cassette tapes in old DVDs off. You know, that I used to watch in the in the beginning, but yet no pastors, you know they do An amazing job on good ones will captivate you for sure keep you locked in.

spk_0:   20:13
Well, I've got a good friend who is a stand up comedian. It's been doing it for 30 or 40 years. Hire a lone killer has been doing it, and he and I have had this conversation before that, really, pastors and comedians are really similar in that All we have is a microphone. I mean, it's just we get up and it's us and a microphone and a crowd of people that Ah, he's trying to entertain. I'm trying to engage and actually still entertain and get the point and stuff across, and it's Ah, it's a weird thing to do, but it's fun to do, but it's also terrifying to do so. I mean, I get what you're saying about what you guys do on camera, because, I mean, you just don't know what terror is until you're told. Okay, you've got 30 minutes to feel. And like you said earlier, dead air is not allowed, so it's it can be. It can be terrifying but fun there toward once you get good at it, the 30 minutes goes quick.

spk_1:   21:20
Boy does it. I mean, it seems like five seconds during our lunch break shows 12 p.m. Noon, um, on Facebook, you know, we try to keep him about 30 minutes and made on my last one was 50 minutes and all I did was jalapeno poppers, and I have no idea how in the world I talked for 50 minutes about jalapeno poppers. Um, but, you know, fortunately, and unfortunately, I did you know, we try to keep it, you know, within that 30 minute range for people's attention span. Then what? Huh? Um but yeah, it really goes by really, really quick when she kind of get your groove. And, you know, I know these girls inside and out and it's super for me. Just go off on a tangent of all of the good things and amazing parts and pieces of him, You know, just because I know them inside it not literally. I have taken everyone of hard altogether, you know, And coach, you know any and all and have had every situation, you know, thrown at me have cooked in the snow, the rain, sleet, you know, the wind, you know, So you know, I know what to expect, you know, out of it. But when you know something in and out. You know, you do your research and, you know, you kind of learn. You know, about what? You're gonna talk about it again? That's another aspect of of it. Of me being comfortable is I have to, you know, kind of have some notes in my head. I kind of gotta do my research. Um, the only time I feel uncomfortable now is just when we're cooking something that I haven't cooked before. When we try to, you know, do new things instead of, you know, burgers, brisket, ribs and butts and chicken. You know, so but now, heck, we just took it the day before, and, you know, I feel better about it, You know, the next day when they were doing it laugh.

spk_0:   23:08
Yes. So you guys do it the day before as a practice run, you're saying and then you do it live the next day, right?

spk_1:   23:15
Well, a lot of times the recipes that we do, we've done 3 to 4 times, you know, because we have to perfect him. We have to make sure that they're gonna taste good, because that is going to be a bad, bad day for us when we give out a bad recipe. Sure. You know that somebody follows step by step, and then it doesn't taste good, you know? So we have to make sure, um, and nine times out of 10 Greg or Chef, Chef Gregor, Chef John, my counterparts now the classically trained chefs here. Um, you know, a lot of times they've done him 3 to 4 times, so we absolutely know, you know, this this is how this could turn out without a doubt.

spk_0:   23:51
All right, well, now we're going to switch to my favorite part of the show, and that is asking you the big three questions that we ask all the guys who come on. So, ah, to begin with, here's the first question. What has surprised you the most in life so far?

spk_1:   24:11
How? Wow, That's a really good when I was not prepared for this one. Um, well, in my my personal experience, um, when we had my first son, um, I found it crazy that I didn't have to take a test. They didn't They didn't screen me. Um, they didn't make sure that I had my head on my shoulders. They should at least make you take a test. Of course. You know something before they let you leave the hospital with the baby, Because way me and my wife left, you know, she was in the back seat with the baby. I'm sitting there, you know, White knuckled, 15 miles an hour down interstate 20. It's just 65 miles per hour. You know, I'm practically on the side of the road, and then we get home and I put this baby, he's still in his car seat. Put him in the middle of the living room, and we just stare at him, you know? And I'm like, they let us leave with this. Like, this is a precious life, and they just let us leave with it. Um, so it's gotta be that they allow anyone in the world if you have. If you're the parent of that baby, that they just let you leave the hospital with it, um, without taking the test. So they should have gave me one for sure.

spk_0:   25:32
I guess this is just a little fresh air. The reason I'm laughing so hard is we just had our first grandchild. Hey, turned. Congratulations. Thank you. thank you was one month old yesterday. And so watching my daughter and my son in law, who are both rock stars, they're doing it in such a good job of being parents. And unfortunately, they're still in that terrified mode, and they don't understand what a good job they're doing. But they they kind of had similar things. My son in law kind of talked about the same thing about Oh, my gosh. I mean, what do we do now? We we have this child in, You know, we have to take a test to get a driver's license or anything else, right? Yeah. Ah, I get it. All right. Question number two. Who taught you the most about being a man? And what did they teach you?

spk_1:   26:26
Um, without a doubt. As it is. My dad, my step dad worked butts off each and every day. You know, lower middle class guys. My step dad worked for the county pretty much all of his life before that. He was made a labor kind of guy. You know, my dad was also, you know, manual labor kind of guy until he started his own business. Um, but ah, work ethic. You know, there's a lot of folks out there that just don't have that, you know? And it really shows, Um but but it hands down. I am so glad and so proud that, you know, both of my dad's taught me, you know, the value of work ethic. Get out there, rake the yard. You know, earn yourself, earn yourself a little bit of money instead of just given given you must be an allowance. You get out there and earn it. You know, that's where you know, I guess I picked up, you know, liking work. We're liking my job. Um, you know, was was from them, um, working their butts off. And as a kid, wondering why Why are they working so hard? Monday through Friday? It's because Saturday and Sunday were amazing for me as a child. You know, when we were off, you know, I got to go and do, and you went to Disney World, and my dad took me hunting and fishing. And, you know, you know all of this awesome things that you know that that you want to do you know, it's a kid, baseball in sports, and you know they never I was never told. No, you know. Hey, can I play baseball? Can I, You know, do this. Can I do that? You know, it was because they were working there but off. And they were able to support it. Support me and sport, you know, support us is a family. Um, but it is definitely gonna be my and my mom to, you know, all of my family, you know, they worked her butt off each and every day, and, you know, they always have, and that's all they know. Um, but that is you know one thing. I definitely want to make sure that my kids, you know, understand, as adult as a man, you know, you have to have a good work ethic, you know, to get through even the smallest situation. Um ah. Problem in your life. You know, you gotta you gotta have some work ethic, you know, school. You know, you gotta study in orderto get that degree. Um, you know, So, yes, I was I think about it all the time. You know, I think those guys in my head, you know, thank you for teaching me Get out there and do some work and, you know, try to make a difference. Because hopefully other people will pick up on that as well. You know, they again. It goes back to, you know, the very first thing we were talking about, how it starts at the at the top and works its way down here. It wreck tech, you know, it's just, you know, there's back to that work ethic. Um, you know, get out there, get the job done. You know, that way you could have a good time later on. So,

spk_1:   29:22
Thomas Thomas Edison said, Ah ah ah, Lot of people are afraid of work because it looks like appear Overall, I think I messed that up, but ah, a lot of people are afraid of work because it looks like a pair of overalls. Um, so I
