Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hello and welcome to Foundation Nation.
I'm your host, Matthew Cote.
Today on the podcast, we'regoing to talk about some
interesting recent goings-ons inour beautiful state and maybe
even a few things going on inthis amazing round thing we call
home.
Hello, I'm Matthew Cote.
This is Foundation Nation,along with Tech Genius Jay.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Hi, my name is Jay Solme, owner of Jay's Technology
Solution.
So let's start there for VolodyMatt.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
So it's been raining a lot.
We had some world record rain.
Yeah, that was some seriousrain.
That was a lot of rain.
I know that Matt Vague gotwaterproofing leads in two days.
That was a month of leads.
Oh, that's pretty impressive.
It was pretty intense.
So we're here in FoundationNation, underneath the C-TEC
(00:49):
Airport, 3rd runway, 2nd runwaysorry, 2nd runway.
Sometimes it sounds like we'redirectly inside their engine.
Yes, it does, but there was alot of rain going on.
I wanted to talk about that alittle bit.
They had this article SeattleTimes no, it was in the Tribune
and it's a guide to preventinghome flooding and it just
(01:12):
basically talks about simplestuff.
But you can't really so likehave your downspouts going away
from your house at a downhillslope, stuff like that.
But a lot of people they don'tunderstand that.
A lot of older homes theywouldn't dig to avoid the water.
(01:33):
They just would make the groundlevel at whatever height it is
and then they'd build theirhouse on top of that and
sometimes that'd be in thefloodplain, that'd be in the
water table.
So you need to get up out ofthe water table Because the
water table, all the aquifersthey fill up when we get a lot
of rain and when the aquifers,which is like a giant container
(01:56):
of water in the ground.
When that gets filled, then ourwater tables start rising.
When our water tables rise,then the crawl space's basements
start flooding out.
So what do you do?
Well, you add a sump pump.
You run drainage systems on theinside, capture all the water
and eject it out.
But how do you prevent it?
(02:16):
Well, you can lift your houseup near.
Yeah, let's all put them onstilts.
Yeah, put them on stilts.
They look like some kind ofchicken house.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Yeah, and then our cars will just fly themselves
into the garage.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Yeah, honey, go float the car out and warm it up.
Yeah, exactly, but there's, Imean, a significant amount of
rain.
You know, I think what is it?
Maybe it's Kauai that has themost rain in the world.
Kauai, kauai, kauai.
Yeah, I think they have asignificant amount of rain too.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Yeah, I remember visiting there, and every night
it rained, but during the day itwas gorgeous.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Yeah, I was watching a thing on YouTube about.
You know, talking about rain islike the top two no, I'm sorry,
number two and number threemost snow in the world cities
are located.
You know where Mm-hmm, wherewould you think Like the most
snow in the world number two andnumber three cities located?
They're both located in Calgary.
(03:12):
No, no, japan, japan Isn't thatweird?
I would never thought, huh.
So if you look at Japan, youknow how it's kind of like kind
of a banana shaped island,whatever, at least on the map.
So the top of it goes uptowards Canada.
I'm not Canada, no, russia,right, you know that whole top
(03:32):
part gets snow all day long, allthe time, every day.
They have a holiday thing goingon up there this time of year
where it's ice sculptures, okay,carved, and they're like
see-through and they put lightson them and stuff.
People go there.
But I guess they have thebiggest fish market in the world
there.
Huh, that's where you see allthat famous bluefin tuna stuff
(03:55):
coming from and all that.
It's all from up there.
And the reason they the biggestfish market in Japan is there
is because no refrigerationrequired.
Yeah, it's cold.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Leave it outside.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Yeah, you just catch the fish and throw, you know,
gut it, clean it, scale it andjust set it in the snow and it's
frozen like a rock.
So yeah, so that's that was.
That has nothing to do withrain, but that's a digress.
Yeah, that's a yeah, sorry, butit's still.
You know, if it was warmer it'dbe rain.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
So how do you prevent your house from flooding?
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Well, if it's, if it's in the water table, if it
is flooding, you know all youcan do is mediate it, you know,
capture the water and andevacuate it from your property,
reroute it.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Yeah, reroute it Actually.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
no, a company that does that, yeah, and I think
really the best thing to do is,you know, for years we tried to
stop the water with ourwaterproofing division.
We tried to stop the water fromthe outside getting in.
Okay, impossible, it's justimpossible.
So, moved on from that, youknow, 20 years later now, what
we do is we just allow the waterto get into the crawl space or
(05:02):
basement.
We capture it that way and thenwe evacuate it out that way,
and that way you get a good,strong warranty and then if
there's a significant amount ofwater coming into your crawl
space or basement, you add adehumidifier and then
everything's covered.
You're good, you won't getmoisture, you won't get water,
you'll have no, you know noeffect into your house.
But you know one thing, that isthat because we get so much
(05:26):
rain and we have so muchhumidity trapped in our crawl
space basements, one thing thatpeople don't understand that
it'll improve your quality oflife is a dehumidifier, or not
even a dehumidifier.
Just keep the humidity leveldown in the 27%.
That will change your lifesleeping.
I'm not even kidding.
You know, if you can get yourhumidity level, you know, below
(05:49):
the 29% mark, your sleep willimprove dramatically.
You don't want to breathe waterwhile you're sleeping.
Water vapor is no good.
Oh, they carry things, oh, yes,they do.
Little thingies, little pokeythingies.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
So what do you do when your house gets wet?
I actually know a company thatdries your house with everything
in place.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Oh yeah, with like those, yeah, those big fans and
stuff.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Well, not just fans, the actual trailers with propane
heaters, and it's a very.
It's been, yep, the onlycompany in Washington state that
does it like this way.
What's the name of the company?
Water Out South Puget Sound.
You can dry it faster.
You can't dry it faster.
Yes, amazing company.
That's cool.
I'm going to check it out.
Yeah, they're actually.
They're friends of mine.
(06:33):
Okay, so I see them every week.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Say that, say that name one more time.
Water Out South Puget Sound.
Water Out South Puget Sound.
Okay, I'm going to check thatout.
Yeah, I'll put a link on thewebsite so everybody can check
that out.
So they just dry up the yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
So they're.
The original owner sold it tofriends of mine, which the
original owner was a friend ofmine too, but he, basically, he,
basically he took a conceptfrom a different industry Okay,
and I'm not going to talk aboutthat but and he reinvented it to
be able to dry out houses.
That's cool.
(07:07):
So the of course you have totake, like any wax candles out
or you know anything that can bedamaged by excessive heat,
which usually is not much in ahouse, believe it or not?
Yeah, and he closes up yourhouse, puts these big ducting
tubes into your house.
You know, one up high, one downlow Okay, one sucks out there.
(07:27):
The other one brings it back in, okay, and what it does is it's
taking all the moisture out ofthe home.
Wow, so when you get a flood inyour home, then most of the
restoration companies come inand they gut your house, right,
right, if you call them rightaway, your cost and well, most
likely the insurance thatthey're paying their cost drops
(07:51):
by the thousands.
Wow, yeah, it's pulling all thewater out of everything, right,
and then, and then I, and thenwith that we also know GCs and
flooring guys that can come inand take care of the tidbits
that need to be fixed.
Yeah, that's awesome.
So I remember seeing two quotesfrom one from Water Out and one
(08:14):
from an actual restorationcompany that would actually was
going to gut and everything.
Water Out South Puget Sound wentin, dried the house and it was
I don't know the exact number,but it was something crazy like,
let's say, 15,000, right Forthe whole kit and caboodle.
So the restoration place wasgoing to charge 75 to 100,000 to
(08:36):
fix everything.
By the time they got done, withWater Out South Puget Sound
doing their job and the GC andthe flooring guy fixing the
little minor things, it was likea 22 to $25,000 bill.
Oh wow, like almost one fourththe price.
Yeah, because call them rightaway.
They got in right away and gotall the water out before
(08:59):
excessive damage and mold, mold,mold Any mold actually hit.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Yeah, my oldest is a scary thing when you see black
stuff growing all the way, theyalso do mold remedi-, they also
do mold remedi-.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Yes, that word, that big word, that big word, yeah,
that big word Foundation Nationis proudly sponsored by Jace

Speaker 1 (09:31):
Well, we've gone from a lot of rain to mold.
We got one of my favoritetopics in this whole state.
We're real conspiracy theoristsaround here and Bigfoot's and
all that stuff and I wanted totalk a little bit about the UFOs
.
The UFOs, the UFOs Not all ofthem, just the ones.
There's some UFOs.
(09:55):
Congress is passing a law thatis basically saying that
whatever they know about UFOs,they're going to start
disclosing.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
But if the president determines that it's not for our
ears or eyes yet, they will notdisclose it.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Yeah, that's interesting.
What do you think?
Well, to quote Elon Musk, ifthere was aliens here, we'd know
about it.
Are we sure about that?
That's what he says.
He's smarter than me?
Then he's the alien he probablycould be.
Take off your mask, elon.
Want to see what's going on.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
I'm not discounting the fact that there's other life
in the universe somewhere outthere.
I have a hard time believingthat this planet is it.
Yeah, I mean come on, that's sosad.
I do have a hard time believingthat.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
No flying cars, and we're it.
Come on man.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
It's just that's a long distance to go, no, the
moon.
While there's anotherconspiracy thing, because it
never happened when we went tothe moon, apparently to some.
Look how long that took just tobe able to do that.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Yeah, no, that's.
I think theories are fun forthe movie industries and comic
books and just to talk about ingeneral.
It would be really sad if wealready know everything.
So I'm We'd be in an impotent.
Yeah, I think it's totally fineto have some of these theories.
I do know that there's amathematical proof that explains
(11:35):
the theory of the possibilityof things happening and
basically what it says isbecause space is infinite,
because that anything that canexist does and will exist with
an absolute certainty, becauseit's infinite.
So if something's so there's aflying, there's a Superman
(11:59):
version with Wolverine claws andadamantium eyeballs somewhere
out there of us, anything youcan think of Jesus and dragons
and you name it.
They're out there somewhere.
So that's how I think about theoutside of this planet.
(12:20):
Thought so 100%.
Ufos exist.
Are we going to see them?
I don't know.
I mean, we probably look like amess.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
This is staying away from us.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Yeah, they might do a fly by and be like, yeah, I
don't think so.
Unless they can eat us orharvest us, we're probably not
going to see them.
Unless we have like a, unlessthis planet is like some kind of
has something on it that theyneed, and our biggest resource
is what?
Water?
So that would probably be, andwe've seen lots of movies of
them sucking that up.
(12:50):
Yes, it's true.
So, we'll see.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
We'll see how it goes , but there's no proof that
humans are going to be here foranother 10,000 years.
No, because, you know, ourplanet already got destroyed of
all life once, right?
So it's not a matter of ifit'll happen, it's when.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Right.
Well, I don't think we're goingto need a meteorite, I think
we're just going to drink andeat ourselves right out of
existence.
Wally, yeah, yeah, that was,that was Jesus Christ.
That's so funny, you know,because every time I go to
Costco I think of that movie.
You know, it's just.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Costco or Amazon.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Yeah Well, I don't go to Amazon.
No, so yeah Well, you know Imean, but they bring everything
to you.
Do you remember that movie?
It was a funny movie where thisguy gets frozen, he's in the
Air Force or something.
He gets frozen, then he getsbrought back to life and
everybody's so dumb and he's thesmartest person on the planet
(13:46):
and I don't remember this one ohjeez.
Well, anyway, it was just areally dumb movie.
I forget the name of it andeverybody in this movie it's
from the early 80s, like 81, 82.
Everybody in the movies wearingcrocs in the movie the same
crocs that are so popular rightnow.
(14:06):
Huh, and I always thought thatwas really funny, because the
whole movie, the premise of theentire movie, is everybody is so
dumb and all they do is go toCostco and shop.
It's like a fake Costco.
They go to Costco, they shop,they do their job.
They're so dumb they don't knowhow to do anything.
This guy's just a regular guyand he gets unfrozen and then
he's the smartest guy in theworld because he's like from 200
(14:28):
years ago.
Huh, he's like I'm gonna donormal, simple thinking yeah,
I'll look it up.
Let me look it up real quick.
So what are you guys doing forthe holiday?
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Enjoying.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Any do you have?
Are you going to any shows oranything?
Speaker 2 (14:43):
No, we're gonna go tonight.
We're gonna go to the SpanawayLights, the drive-thru lights,
oh okay.
So yeah, we're gonna go do that, and then for New Year's we're
gonna go see our friends up inCanada.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Oh, do you have the Nexus Pass?
Speaker 2 (15:01):
No, we got to look into getting that.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Oh, okay.
Yeah, there are a lot of peoplethat are getting them.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
They're like six months out.
Yeah, they're quite a ways out.
We were using Jameson's a copyof his birth certificate to get
over the border a multitude oftimes.
This last time we were comingback and they said no, you can't
use this, you need to go inside.
So we went inside and there wasone exceptionally long line and
one very short line.
(15:28):
Luckily, the line we needed wasa short line.
Yeah, we went up there andJameson hands the guy his birth
certificate and I'm like, yeah,they said we can't use this.
We've been using this for likethe last year and a half and the
guy looks up our information.
He goes you have been andyou've never been stopped.
He goes here, get out here, gohome, Jeez.
So we got to get him hispassport, so that way we don't
(15:53):
worry about that anymore.
We do have an original copy thatwe take with us now, but that
was just like.
Really I've used this like 20times now and then all of a
sudden today it doesn't work,after we just spent an hour and
a half trying to get to thispoint in the long line of cars.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Yeah, Okay, so that movie is called Idiocracy.
The book was written in the 80s, the movie came out in 2006.
That's why there's crocs.
Yeah, so there's.
I think it's pretty sure it's2006.
I thought it was way earlier,but I'm not sure.
(16:33):
Hmm, it looks.
Oh, let me see it looks likesuper.
No, it's 2006.
Yeah, for sure.
All right, go watch that movie.
It's the end of the goddamnworld movie.
But they say everybody's dumband we're all.
They're all shopping at Costcoand anything.
Well, merry Christmas, happyNew Year.
(16:53):
What are you guys doing for theNew Year?
What are you guys doing for theNew Year?
Going to our friends in Canada,so you're gonna be in another
country celebrating the New Year.
Yes, safe, safe move, real safemove.
Speaker 2 (17:06):

It's all from up there.
And the reason they the biggestfish market in Japan is there
is because no refrigerationrequired.
Yeah, it's cold.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Leave it outside.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Yeah, you just catch the fish and throw, you know,

So yeah, so that's that was.
That has nothing to do withrain, but that's a digress.

So they're.
The original owner sold it tofriends of mine, which the
original owner was a friend ofmine too, but he, basically, he,
basically he took a conceptfrom a different industry Okay,
and I'm not going to talk aboutthat but and he reinvented it to
be able to dry out houses.
That's cool.
(07:07):
So the of course you have totake, like any wax candles out
or you know anything that can bedamaged by excessive heat,
which usually is not much in ahouse, believe it or not?
Yeah, and he closes up yourhouse, puts these big ducting
tubes into your house.
You know, one up high, one downlow Okay, one sucks out there.
(07:27):
The other one brings it back in, okay, and what it does is it's
taking all the moisture out ofthe home.
Wow, so when you get a flood inyour home, then most of the
restoration companies come inand they gut your house, right,
right, if you call them rightaway, your cost and well, most
likely the insurance thatthey're paying their cost drops
(07:51):
by the thousands.
Wow, yeah, it's pulling all thewater out of everything, right,
and then, and then I, and thenwith that we also know GCs and
flooring guys that can come inand take care of the tidbits
that need to be fixed.
Yeah, that's awesome.
So I remember seeing two quotesfrom one from Water Out and one
(08:14):
from an actual restorationcompany that would actually was
going to gut and everything.
Water Out South Puget Sound wentin, dried the house and it was
I don't know the exact number,but it was something crazy like,
let's say, 15,000, right Forthe whole kit and caboodle.
So the restoration place wasgoing to charge 75 to 100,000 to
(08:36):
fix everything.
By the time they got done, withWater Out South Puget Sound
doing their job and the GC andthe flooring guy fixing the
little minor things, it was likea 22 to $25,000 bill.
Oh wow, like almost one fourththe price.
Yeah, because call them rightaway.
They got in right away and gotall the water out before
(08:59):
excessive damage and mold, mold,mold Any mold actually hit.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Yeah, my oldest is a scary thing when you see black
stuff growing all the way, theyalso do mold remedi-, they also
do mold remedi-.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Yes, that word, that big word, that big word, yeah,

Speaker 1 (09:31):
Well, we've gone from a lot of rain to mold.
We got one of my favoritetopics in this whole state.
We're real conspiracy theoristsaround here and Bigfoot's and
all that stuff and I wanted totalk a little bit about the UFOs
.
The UFOs, the UFOs Not all ofthem, just the ones.
There's some UFOs.
(09:55):
Congress is passing a law thatis basically saying that
whatever they know about UFOs,they're going to start
disclosing.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
But if the president determines that it's not for our
ears or eyes yet, they will notdisclose it.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Yeah, that's interesting.
What do you think?
Well, to quote Elon Musk, ifthere was aliens here, we'd know
about it.
Are we sure about that?
That's what he says.
He's smarter than me?
Then he's the alien he probablycould be.
Take off your mask, elon.
Want to see what's going on.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
I'm not discounting the fact that there's other life
in the universe somewhere outthere.
I have a hard time believingthat this planet is it.
Yeah, I mean come on, that's sosad.
I do have a hard time believingthat.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
No flying cars, and we're it.
Come on man.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
It's just that's a long distance to go, no, the
moon.
While there's anotherconspiracy thing, because it
never happened when we went tothe moon, apparently to some.
Look how long that took just tobe able to do that.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Yeah, no, that's.
I think theories are fun forthe movie industries and comic
books and just to talk about ingeneral.
It would be really sad if wealready know everything.
So I'm We'd be in an impotent.
Yeah, I think it's totally fineto have some of these theories.
I do know that there's amathematical proof that explains
(11:35):
the theory of the possibilityof things happening and
basically what it says isbecause space is infinite,
because that anything that canexist does and will exist with
an absolute certainty, becauseit's infinite.
So if something's so there's aflying, there's a Superman
(11:59):
version with Wolverine claws andadamantium eyeballs somewhere
out there of us, anything youcan think of Jesus and dragons
and you name it.
They're out there somewhere.
So that's how I think about theoutside of this planet.
(12:20):
Thought so 100%.
Ufos exist.
Are we going to see them?
I don't know.
I mean, we probably look like amess.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
This is staying away from us.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Yeah, they might do a fly by and be like, yeah, I
don't think so.
Unless they can eat us orharvest us, we're probably not
going to see them.
Unless we have like a, unlessthis planet is like some kind of
has something on it that theyneed, and our biggest resource
is what?
Water?
So that would probably be, andwe've seen lots of movies of
them sucking that up.
(12:50):
Yes, it's true.
So, we'll see.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
We'll see how it goes , but there's no proof that
humans are going to be here foranother 10,000 years.
No, because, you know, ourplanet already got destroyed of
all life once, right?
So it's not a matter of ifit'll happen, it's when.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Right.
Well, I don't think we're goingto need a meteorite, I think
we're just going to drink andeat ourselves right out of
existence.
Wally, yeah, yeah, that was,that was Jesus Christ.
That's so funny, you know,because every time I go to
Costco I think of that movie.
You know, it's just.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Costco or Amazon.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Yeah Well, I don't go to Amazon.
No, so yeah Well, you know Imean, but they bring everything
to you.
Do you remember that movie?
It was a funny movie where thisguy gets frozen, he's in the
Air Force or something.
He gets frozen, then he getsbrought back to life and
everybody's so dumb and he's thesmartest person on the planet
(13:46):
and I don't remember this one ohjeez.
Well, anyway, it was just areally dumb movie.
I forget the name of it andeverybody in this movie it's
from the early 80s, like 81, 82.
Everybody in the movies wearingcrocs in the movie the same
crocs that are so popular rightnow.
(14:06):
Huh, and I always thought thatwas really funny, because the
whole movie, the premise of theentire movie, is everybody is so
dumb and all they do is go toCostco and shop.
It's like a fake Costco.
They go to Costco, they shop,they do their job.
They're so dumb they don't knowhow to do anything.
This guy's just a regular guyand he gets unfrozen and then
he's the smartest guy in theworld because he's like from 200
(14:28):
years ago.
Huh, he's like I'm gonna donormal, simple thinking yeah,
I'll look it up.
Let me look it up real quick.
So what are you guys doing forthe holiday?
Speaker 3 (14:40):

Speaker 1 (14:41):

Speaker 1 (14:58):
Oh, do you have the Nexus Pass?
Speaker 2 (15:01):
No, we got to look into getting that.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Oh, okay.
Yeah, there are a lot of peoplethat are getting them.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
They're like six months out.
Yeah, they're quite a ways out.
We were using Jameson's a copyof his birth certificate to get
over the border a multitude oftimes.
This last time we were comingback and they said no, you can't
use this, you need to go inside.
So we went inside and there wasone exceptionally long line and
one very short line.
(15:28):
Luckily, the line we needed wasa short line.
Yeah, we went up there andJameson hands the guy his birth
certificate and I'm like, yeah,they said we can't use this.
We've been using this for likethe last year and a half and the
guy looks up our information.
He goes you have been andyou've never been stopped.
He goes here, get out here, gohome, Jeez.
So we got to get him hispassport, so that way we don't
(15:53):
worry about that anymore.
We do have an original copy thatwe take with us now, but that
was just like.
Really I've used this like 20times now and then all of a
sudden today it doesn't work,after we just spent an hour and
a half trying to get to thispoint in the long line of cars.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Yeah, Okay, so that movie is called Idiocracy.
The book was written in the 80s, the movie came out in 2006.
That's why there's crocs.
Yeah, so there's.
I think it's pretty sure it's2006.
I thought it was way earlier,but I'm not sure.
(16:33):
Hmm, it looks.
Oh, let me see it looks likesuper.
No, it's 2006.
Yeah, for sure.
All right, go watch that movie.
It's the end of the goddamnworld movie.
But they say everybody's dumband we're all.
They're all shopping at Costcoand anything.
Well, merry Christmas, happyNew Year.
