00:00I laugh just thinking about this story.

00:03Yeah, tell us what happened.

00:05Have you ever seen somebody break something and they're like, no, it's not broken.

00:08And it is so clearly broken that everybody in the room is like, no, I think that's broken.

00:15So that happened to us last weekend while we were on vacation.

00:19And we, my husband and I were out in Napa Valley.

00:23And one of the days we got to just chill and sit by the pool in the afternoon.

00:27And I had gotten a lot of sun the day before.

00:31So I wanted to be in the shade and he wanted to be in the sun.

00:34Okay.

00:35So they sit us down and they walk away.

00:38And I was like, I really wanted to be in the shade.

00:40And he's like, I'll just put the umbrella up for you.

00:42I'm like, okay.

00:43So he goes to try to open this umbrella and he's forcing it.

00:49And I, he's, I can see like the umbrella is struggling.

00:53Right.

00:54Okay.

00:55And I go, Dallas, you're going to break it.

00:57And as soon as I said that, the umbrella flew open and one of the arms was like dangling

01:05down.

01:06And when it, when he forced it open, I saw something fly into the pool.

01:11I was like, I think you just broke it.

01:13And he was like, no, it's not broken.

01:15And I was like, no, I'm pretty sure it's broken.

01:20I saw a piece flying into the pool, not to mention the arm is dangling off of it.

01:24So I think it was like the joint that holds it together, which is why it's dangling down

01:28now.

01:29And all of a sudden there's like three people at our, at our chairs, right?

01:33Like the manager is over there, the towel person, like, everyone's like, can I help you,

01:37Mr.

01:38Shreger?

01:38You know, whatever.

01:39And he's like, no, no, no, I got it.

01:40It's fine.

01:41It's, it's done now.

01:42He thought, he thought it, he knew it was broken.

01:46He's just playing cool at this point.

01:48And I'm embarrassed.

01:49I'm like, no, it's broken.

01:51I think it's broken.

01:53And the pool manager's like, do you want us to bring you another umbrella?

01:57He's like, no, this one works fine.

01:58Look, it's great.

02:01Meanwhile, like, but it was, it was open and staying open.

02:05It was open and staying open.

02:07He just broke like one of the arms.

02:09So just the one arm was hanging down.

02:11I have to go through my phone and see if I have a picture.

02:13So funny.

02:13But after they all left, I'm sitting there laughing my butt off.

02:18And he's like, no, it's not broken.

02:19I'm like, Dallas, it is broken.

02:21So at that point, I got into the pool and found the piece that had flown off and like

02:26came up and was like, is this not broken?

02:28Is this not off the umbrella?

02:31Then I didn't drive it home.

02:32You know, that's funny.

02:32I like his, and a lot of guys are guilty of this, the caveman mentality where it's

02:38like, if, if it's not working the way it should, it just needs more force.

02:42Right.

02:43Right.

02:44Like clearly something stuck.

02:46Like my dad was big on if we, and he, my dad didn't know how to put anything together.

02:51Like he was the most unhandy guy and still is to this day at 81 years old.

02:56But like, I remember working on projects with him where something would come in a box and

02:59all the parts would come together.

03:00Right.

03:01And obviously if the, if it comes in a box, the, the screw fits the hole.

03:06Right.

03:06Well, on a very rare occasion, the screw doesn't fit the hole.

03:09My dad never thought all the parts were always wrong.

03:11And he's like, they sent us the wrong thing.

03:13It's not working, but he was doing something wrong.

03:16User error.

03:17User error.

03:18Big time.

03:18But no, that's, so now he's going to get a drill and drill the hole bigger.

03:21I, I mean, I appreciate that as long as you can figure it out.

03:25But I mean, this was broken, broken.

03:28And I appreciated the fact that Dallas was going to use his sales tactics to try to talk

03:33everybody in the room into the fact that it wasn't broken.

03:36Oh my gosh.

03:37That's so funny.
