all right Metal Monday with Brett how you doing today I’m good man I’m good just uh love me some Monday so I I’m happy I’m in a good spot we’re uh busy as right now um I don’t know if shit’s busy but we are we’re busy and so it’s it’s uh it’s when you’re so busy that time just just zooms by and then you know that’s that’s where we’re at right now man just trying to keep the wheels on the bus trying to you know get this our tire processing facility built you know we got you know a lot of infrastructure the first bolt in today today and so it’s you know the next two three weeks is just going to be plus we got all the infrastructure stuff we’re doing so it’s busy man but in a good way um moving some scrap moving some pipe moving some trucks you know doing what we do that’s why I feel blessed and I hope everyone out there can find something like this where you wake up on Monday not dreading it I I have a sense of relief sometimes on Monday because I

feel like I have a whole week to get a lot of done yeah I don’t always get it all done like I plan on it and then like Friday hits and I I feel almost more anxious on Friday even though I really really enjoy Fridays too cuz it’s everyone loves Friday you got to go relax for the weekend and do some family stuff but my week goes by so fast I don’t like Dread the hours I I want more I wish I had that I wish I had an extra day no one had I I would pay a lot of money for that day oh yeah yeah I think you and a lot of other people right so yeah it’s been good man we you know we’re Saturday P poured more conqu you know flag football we got kids sports we got you know the markets aren’t all the way red today which is always a there’s a little green out there nickel’s up Copper’s really sideways rodium is the only big mover today but I don’t know why but it’s moving we I think this just goes back to what we’ve said on

here so many times it’s such a thinly traded mhm which creates big momentous swings mhm it’s like when you don’t have the volume and you get a buyer come in that needs the material they’re going to pay whatever that market says and they’re the price is going to rise quickly just like what you’ve seen the last six eight months which is how fast it can drop when there’s no buyers and there’s a lot of sellers so that’s why you don’t see it follow the other Trends you see rodium kind of does it does its own things all the other ones kind of follow a trend it does it does it kind of and a lot of them will move in sync with each other um but yeah on as far as the base Ms go you know you know we’re we’re trying to get iron cut that we this whatever we can buy you know it’s a still that’s a thin Market out there as well um as far as material availability there’s still on demand side so I’m super intrigued to see what all this world um kind of hate and discontent is

going to cause you know on the from the base Metals demand standpoint I hope I keep my fingers crossed that we don’t we don’t need need any more war we don’t need any more of that you know I I understand what’s going on out there and it’s not good then there’s there’s always two sides to every story and I my biggest thing is just you know we I would prefer it to to not end in a big ass War yeah I I hope most I think most people probably feel that way and would that affects the market you know I’m I don’t know well I think if if we get into a war it’s all bets are off right wartime economy generally speaking creates a lot of um like uncertainty which can drive pricing spikes and you know makes it super volatile yeah spikes and dips and you know you got to be really on your game to move and to move material and then it depend on which countries are at War what your export markets look like and then who’s creating alliances and whatever else at the end of the day you

know it’s we we’re we given a certain set of cards and we dealt with them as we play with the cards we’re dealt I guess and that’s all we can do but I for a Monday for us internally over here in our little pocket of the world you know it’s busy things are moving so we’re we’re blessed yeah and we have a a fairly busy end of the year coming up like with some outside jobs some demo jobs some um outside bailing jobs like our guys should stay busy on top of of also putting in a tire plant you know so it’s going to be a busy year I want to just hint at very quickly okay book club yes we’ve been doing 75 hard been reading a lot of books yeah um I’m going to do the book club and I’m going to tie it to our three recycled 360 newsletter MH so for those those are aware that um we are going to come out with a once a month newsletter um and starting in November where we’re going to Spotlight companies throughout the you know United States to begin with that

are out there that are making moves in our industry and we’re going to you know tie in our Bulls versus Bears content we’re going to tie in Jennifer bets’s uh bets on the future marketing tips we’re going to tie in economic drivers and we’re going to also tie in this book club that I kind of want to start which is like once a month when we put out the newsletter here’s the book that that we’re reading right and you know a book a month seems you know maybe a stretch but I also think that if you know there’s another one coming maybe you get through one every two months or whatever that is but it’s more just to highlight hey here’s the books that we’re that we’re reading there’s what why we think that they’re pertinent to to just your life or the market or whatever else and just let people kind of follow along I don’t even know what a book club does other than they just kind of everybody reads the same book and they talk about it you know yeah yeah that’s what I I look forward to we’ve been we’ve

read some good ones lately and you know I think there’s a lot did that internally circles like you know and even not just you Metals but my other scrap guys I talk to because I’ll be like hey have you read this it’s awesome yeah you know so I think it’ll be cool to share that and then maybe we’ll get feedback from all of you on I’ve had people send me awesome books right like I’ve had like the one I just gotten unfinished reading pumpkin plan um somebody on LinkedIn had sent me I read um King of oil which somebody had sent me I’ve i’ if people send me a book if they go out of their way to send me a book and it’s especially if something that’s in my wheelhouse like I’ll go out of my way to read it yeah you know and then if I like it I definitely recommend it and pass it on so um I think it’ be some something that that kind of keeps keeps us you know motivated Keeps Us kind of always trying to better what we’re doing and I think that’s what I’m excited

about all right thank you I’m excited for that and we’ll see everybody next week have a great week all right like
