00:01:07.972 --> 00:01:09.275 The wonderful life of hot tubbing.

00:01:42.206 --> 00:01:45.349 So that is one of the things that we are doing there.
00:01:45.349 --> 00:01:52.981 My program is not working correctly, so I apologize for the crop screen, but we will get that fixed next time.
00:01:52.981 --> 00:01:56.873 But in the meantime, let's just get started.
00:01:56.873 --> 00:02:00.201 We're going to do our new Tub Time Friends.
00:02:00.201 --> 00:02:01.927 Look at that, I got cool new rabbits.
00:02:01.947 --> 00:02:03.531 That's pretty cool, great job.
00:02:03.590 --> 00:02:06.268 That's why the screen didn't work before is because I was messing with that.
00:02:06.268 --> 00:02:11.752 Anyway, those of you watching that was pretty cool that I accomplished that there.
00:02:11.752 --> 00:02:16.031 But tub time trends that is one of the things that we're going to talk about.
00:02:16.031 --> 00:02:22.825 That's one of our new segments that we're going to talk about every week, and this week's tub time trends is that.
00:02:22.825 --> 00:02:29.105 Did you know that hot tubs are no longer a luxury item, they're actually an appliance.
00:02:29.105 --> 00:02:31.947 Did you know that they're actually categorized as an appliance?
00:02:32.007 --> 00:02:32.528 Just tonight.
00:02:33.020 --> 00:02:35.381 Just tonight you learned that it has been my.
00:02:35.381 --> 00:02:46.514 If you guys have followed me for any amount of time, I do believe that anybody who is breathing and has a heartbeat and has a home, you need to have a hot tub.
00:02:46.514 --> 00:02:49.431 It's something that everybody should have in their backyard.
00:02:49.431 --> 00:02:50.758 It's going to make you feel better.
00:02:50.758 --> 00:02:51.801 It's going to make you sleep better.
00:02:51.801 --> 00:02:54.407 It's going to make you do all the things.
00:02:54.407 --> 00:02:56.552 It's a wellness machine.
00:02:57.319 --> 00:02:57.701 Yes, it is.
00:02:57.701 --> 00:02:58.725 It's a bowl of medicine.
00:02:59.180 --> 00:03:00.062 It is a bowl of medicine.
00:03:00.062 --> 00:03:06.533 I was in mine this morning and it was that light, fluffy snow this morning before the sun came up.
00:03:06.533 --> 00:03:11.692 So those of you who live in Sioux Falls, it was the perfect hot tub morning.
00:03:11.692 --> 00:03:18.046 In fact I almost called in sick to work just so I could stay home in a hot tub, but I just felt so good I've become a morning user.
00:03:18.046 --> 00:03:20.848 I never used to be a morning user, but I'm a morning user now.
00:03:23.621 --> 00:03:25.108 I'm a night user mainly.
00:03:25.108 --> 00:03:28.221 I do both.
00:03:28.221 --> 00:03:28.703 I do both, you do both.
00:03:28.703 --> 00:03:29.246 Depends on the situation.
00:03:29.246 --> 00:03:32.981 I'll get into that later when I got some explanations to do about when is the right time to hot tub.
00:03:32.981 --> 00:03:33.443 So we'll get it.
00:03:33.443 --> 00:03:35.908 We'll jump into that when it's time but.
00:03:36.069 --> 00:03:40.807 But they're just, they're a wellness machine and everybody should have them and they're now.
00:03:40.807 --> 00:03:48.612 People are buying them for their wellness, for their stress relief, for their sleep relief, for their sleep for their high blood pressure, for all the things.
00:03:48.612 --> 00:03:57.918 It's going to get you off of the pills and it's going to get you into living your life and doing what you want to do longer.
00:03:58.299 --> 00:03:58.759 That is correct.
00:03:59.020 --> 00:04:09.123 That is definitely one of the tub time trends right now is it has gone from a box of water in your backyard to A box of water that squirts.
00:04:09.123 --> 00:04:10.228 Right.
00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:10.942 A big bath.
00:04:10.942 --> 00:04:11.947 That's a show off thing.
00:04:11.947 --> 00:04:14.191 And now to a big bowl of medicine.
00:04:14.473 --> 00:04:20.172 So it is a big bowl of medicine, and the hot tub industry and Watkins Wellness has led the charge on that.
00:04:20.172 --> 00:04:31.809 It's now about the messaging is about wellness, and every manufacturer out there right now is talking about the wellness that you get from your hot tub.
00:04:31.809 --> 00:04:41.459 But and I'll do a whole nother podcast on that, but just so you know hot tubs are no longer a luxury item.
00:04:41.459 --> 00:04:47.572 They are 100% a appliance that every person needs.
00:04:47.572 --> 00:04:49.641 If you don't have a hot tub, get a hot tub.
00:04:49.641 --> 00:04:56.074 You're going to need it, you're going to love it and that is and another thing we'll jump into tonight they're affordable.
00:04:56.776 --> 00:05:04.552 They are actually really affordable, and we'll jump into what people think they cost and how they're going to explode their utility bills and stuff like that.
00:05:04.552 --> 00:05:06.401 Don't panic, it's all good.
00:05:07.584 --> 00:05:11.012 Okay, frank just took us a whole nother route.
00:05:11.012 --> 00:05:21.583 So, as you guys all know, I'm selling the Caldera spas these days and we're going to just jump into the second category.
00:05:21.583 --> 00:05:27.923 And when it comes to buying a hot tub, you definitely need to buy a hot tub that fits you the most.
00:05:27.923 --> 00:05:30.771 So what Caldera is famous for is comfort.
00:05:30.771 --> 00:05:31.952 Performance in style.
00:05:31.952 --> 00:05:34.365 Their comfort is my number one thing.
00:05:34.365 --> 00:05:38.432 That is what I love the most about my hot tub is the comfort.
00:05:38.432 --> 00:05:40.725 Those seats just cradle you in place.
00:05:40.725 --> 00:05:43.132 It's like sitting in an Adirondack chair, wouldn't you?
00:05:43.860 --> 00:05:45.225 Yeah, so exactly yeah.
00:05:45.225 --> 00:05:54.028 I think, we jumped on it last week, where the two different types of hot tubs that I've had recently this one I have now completely fits me well.
00:05:54.028 --> 00:05:57.880 Stands me up, takes care of my feet, neck back.
00:05:59.384 --> 00:06:02.949 So and the comfort is absolutely amazing.
00:06:02.949 --> 00:06:06.113 And then you also have that foot ridge that holds you down.
00:06:06.113 --> 00:06:07.235 I'm short.
00:06:07.235 --> 00:06:11.625 I'm definitely on the shorter side of things, frank is about six foot.
00:06:11.625 --> 00:06:12.567 I'm 5'3".
00:06:12.567 --> 00:06:15.043 I float, that's just.
00:06:15.043 --> 00:06:30.165 I'm female, I've got all the curves in all the right places, which also means I have a little bit of extra buoyancy and I flow and with that foot ridge I can anchor myself down in, I can stay in the seat and I can get the therapy that I'm looking for.
00:06:30.607 --> 00:06:34.485 But comfort, and then performance, the performance of a caldera hot tub.
00:06:34.485 --> 00:06:36.951 The jets are absolutely outstanding.
00:06:36.951 --> 00:06:41.923 They do a complete system when it comes to getting you a massage.
00:06:41.923 --> 00:06:43.406 They completely, completely think about that.
00:06:43.406 --> 00:06:56.348 They have more R&D money than any other manufacturer that's out there, so they actually think about where each jet hits you and where you're going to be sitting and how you're going to stay in that seat.
00:06:56.348 --> 00:07:08.875 So when you sit in a Caldera and you sit back and you're like, wow, this is amazing, there's some serious thought and some serious money that has been spent on.
00:07:08.875 --> 00:07:14.067 Is this seat not only going to work for me, it's going to work for him and it's going to work for everybody else.
00:07:14.067 --> 00:07:19.747 Kayla is on here and she actually made the comment she goes lounger or no lounger.
00:07:19.747 --> 00:07:21.819 What are your thoughts on that?
00:07:22.100 --> 00:07:23.365 I'm a big fan of no lounger.
00:07:23.365 --> 00:07:26.120 That's just me, boy.
00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:29.971 I can't even count how many hot tubs I've been out to lately and lounge and no lounge.
00:07:29.971 --> 00:07:35.492 And the guys that love the lounge absolutely are crazy about it.
00:07:35.492 --> 00:07:37.666 It's the only spot they will sit in.
00:07:37.666 --> 00:07:41.310 They don't even want to get out of that lounge and they don't want to go to the other seat.
00:07:41.310 --> 00:07:45.720 It's like okay, I get that Me.
00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:46.281 I've sat in a lounge before.
00:07:46.281 --> 00:07:47.788 I'm the guy that's going to jump out and jump into the seat.
00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:50.588 So it's just a preference of how your body is, how it fits you.
00:07:50.588 --> 00:07:53.970 What part of feature do you want it to take care of on you?
00:07:53.970 --> 00:07:55.884 So it's one of those things.
00:07:55.884 --> 00:07:56.526 It's about you.
00:07:57.389 --> 00:07:58.031 Well, it is about you.
00:07:58.031 --> 00:08:10.708 I'm going to tell you what my experience is in the hundreds and hundreds of hot tubs I've sold is 90% of the people that come in the first time looking for a lounge.
00:08:10.708 --> 00:08:15.384 We'll sell them a lounge and the majority of my lineup that I sell does have a lounger.
00:08:15.384 --> 00:08:28.545 Now, most people I would say 70% of the people who buy a hot tub the first time get a hot tub the second time, and I would say 80% of those people that buy a hot tub the second time do not get a lounge.
00:08:28.545 --> 00:08:32.443 They prefer the four corner seating where they can converse and they can do their thing.
00:08:32.443 --> 00:08:43.268 Some people feel like it takes up an extra seat and that is one of the things when you're trying to decide what hot tub is perfect for you is how are you going to be using that hot tub?
00:08:43.268 --> 00:08:45.293 It's just Frank and I in our hot tub.
00:08:46.341 --> 00:09:00.404 That's a great point, because I have a customer out there it's just him and he's a very tall man and he's got one of the smaller hot tubs and he's all about that lounge and he absolutely adores it and loves it and that's the only spot he sits in, so the rest of it doesn't get used.
00:09:00.404 --> 00:09:01.227 But that's him.
00:09:01.227 --> 00:09:02.369 But get used.
00:09:02.428 --> 00:09:05.971 But that's him, but it's his, that's him, that's his hot tub and that's what he wants, and you definitely want to.
00:09:06.932 --> 00:09:11.294 When you get a hot tub, you want it to be your hot tub and you're going to get it the way that you're going to use it.
00:09:11.294 --> 00:09:15.881 So when you say lounge or no lounge, it's a question I get every single day.
00:09:15.881 --> 00:09:17.485 It's definitely a person.
00:09:17.505 --> 00:09:20.821 We get kayla to type back does she have a lounge or no lounge?
00:09:20.821 --> 00:09:24.168 And first of all do what do you like about your lounge, If you do have one?
00:09:24.470 --> 00:09:27.346 So okay, it'll take her a few minutes.
00:09:27.346 --> 00:09:34.307 I know the answer to that question but, we'll let her type back, so we it makes it a little more engaging area.
00:09:34.307 --> 00:09:42.024 And then also on the Calderas, is the style Um, they are just so beautiful.
00:09:42.024 --> 00:09:49.221 I don't know if you guys follow me on Instagram, but if you do Instagram or Facebook, we just got our fence up.
00:09:49.221 --> 00:09:50.760 Been waiting a long time for that fence.
00:09:50.760 --> 00:09:54.421 Shout out to Doug at Solid Fence Company Did a phenomenal job.
00:09:54.542 --> 00:09:54.962 Absolutely.
00:09:55.235 --> 00:09:59.025 Beautiful gray fence and it just ties into my backyard.
00:09:59.025 --> 00:10:01.080 Now it's totally.
00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:03.046 It's changed my backyard completely.
00:10:03.046 --> 00:10:03.977 And then the wind.
00:10:03.998 --> 00:10:14.740 This morning there was no wind, it was so awesome well, out here by the uh on the west side, out here and um of course the you know the jet stream moves in south dakota.
00:10:14.740 --> 00:10:25.470 It always comes from the west and the winds come from the west and get beat up, and so that fence has been a blessing it has has been a blessing, but it's just beautiful.
00:10:25.615 --> 00:10:31.966 But anyway, if you guys follow me on Instagram, I put up some really cool pictures in my day 26 of the 30 Day Soak Challenge.
00:10:31.966 --> 00:10:34.443 If you guys aren't following me on that, follow me on that.
00:10:34.443 --> 00:10:37.585 There's some really cool stuff coming on the 30 Day Soak Challenge.

00:10:40.845 --> 00:10:42.256 I've done a few of them.
00:10:42.756 --> 00:10:46.042 You don't even know what I'm working on.
00:10:47.424 --> 00:10:48.005 Can't wait to see it.
00:10:48.405 --> 00:10:49.528 Yeah, you're going to.
00:10:49.528 --> 00:10:50.730 It's going to blow your mind.
00:10:51.495 --> 00:10:52.277 I know?
00:10:52.697 --> 00:10:53.980 No, it's really going to blow your mind.
00:10:53.980 --> 00:10:55.162 It's some pretty cool stuff coming.
00:10:55.221 --> 00:10:57.346 Oh, good for you, you're the movie star.
00:10:57.886 --> 00:11:03.861 Oh, it's not about movie stars, it's not about that at all, but it's some cool things that, if you guys are following along, stay tuned.
00:11:03.861 --> 00:11:15.833 Probably won't talk about it next week, but the week after that I hope to announce what's coming with that, probably the first, the week of Christmas or the first week in January.
00:11:15.833 --> 00:11:21.514 Yeah, that's what we got going on there and the best things about Calderas is their energy efficiency.
00:11:21.855 --> 00:11:24.298 Oh, let's not forget about their energy efficiency.
00:11:24.298 --> 00:11:30.264 Caldera spas are designed to retain heat and use energy wisely, and I wrote this down.
00:11:30.264 --> 00:11:36.611 So I just want to say it right, so you can use your spa without breaking the bank on your utility bills.
00:11:36.611 --> 00:11:39.475 And that's where I was going into earlier.
00:11:39.475 --> 00:11:55.572 Everybody I've had at least six between the last six days brand new freshwater IQ startups and the first question is oh my, they're so scared of their utility bills going to go skyrocket and they're actually really nervous about it.
00:11:55.572 --> 00:11:59.522 And the first thing I say is don't panic, please don't panic.
00:11:59.522 --> 00:12:01.125 You're not even probably going to notice it.
00:12:01.125 --> 00:12:19.245 I did some study and I think it's about a dollar a day maybe, and and if that's not good enough, if a dollar a day isn't worth it to you to have that luxury there's a lot things in life that you spend a dollar on worse and that's a dollar a day in january is about what that costs and the reason for that exactly yeah exactly is.
00:12:19.285 --> 00:12:24.990 They have that fiber core insulation, which is that wool base insulation.
00:12:24.990 --> 00:12:29.124 That's a loose pack but it's completely from the top to the bottom of the hot tub.
00:12:29.124 --> 00:12:30.850 It's completely filled with insulation.
00:12:30.850 --> 00:12:35.600 It's amazing because I have a whole blog on that.
00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:36.341 So check that out.
00:12:36.341 --> 00:12:40.730 On the hot tub ladyco, just search fiber core.
00:12:40.730 --> 00:12:53.264 But the cool thing about that and I've had a couple people comment on the channel lately is that they don't want a fully foam insulated hot tub because if it ever leaks it's a very expensive repair to get that leaked.
00:12:53.264 --> 00:13:05.221 So with this FiberCore insulation it's about 30% more efficient and if you ever do have a leak, you literally just shop, vac it out and repair the leak and then you put the insulation back in.
00:13:05.221 --> 00:13:16.952 So it's good for the environment, it's good for the hot tub and it is super, super efficient and in, like I said in the month of january, it's probably going to cost you about a dollar a day the only time.
00:13:16.972 --> 00:13:23.857 You'll probably well january, february, depending when that uh arctic blast shows up, because it does every year in south dakota.
00:13:23.857 --> 00:13:26.671 Arctic blast will come, um, we Blast will come.
00:13:26.671 --> 00:13:29.780 We used to watch the weather guy in Keloland or wherever it was.
00:13:29.780 --> 00:13:32.336 I'm sorry, I don't mean to bring any news channels, but I love them all.
00:13:32.336 --> 00:13:47.188 When they made that announcement Arctic Blast is coming, you just frown, you just go oh yuck, but it happens and it will happen this year again, and that's when you get below zeros and the hot tubs from Caldera have never failed.
00:13:47.975 --> 00:13:48.336 They don't.
00:13:48.336 --> 00:13:50.999 That brings up a story that I love to tell.
00:13:50.999 --> 00:14:05.864 Way back in the day, like way back in the day when Alan and I had our first hot tub store, there was a ice storm that had come through and we were selling Calderas at the time and the iStore came through and it knocked out power everywhere.
00:14:05.864 --> 00:14:17.216 There was power everywhere, and the town I had the hot tub store in was in Norfolk, nebraska, very much an egg community, and we were personally without power, I think 10 days.
00:14:17.216 --> 00:14:26.245 Everybody was without power and Alan was driving all over the country with his generator winterizing and closing down hot tubs so they wouldn't freeze.
00:14:26.956 --> 00:14:30.442 Not one of them was a Caldera and it was day 13.
00:14:30.442 --> 00:14:37.201 And he was going 200 miles away to a hot tub that was on a farm and he was on his way out there.
00:14:37.201 --> 00:14:40.304 The customer called on the way out there and said the power came back on.
00:14:40.304 --> 00:14:44.184 I had him turn on the hot tub to see where it was.
00:14:44.184 --> 00:14:55.412 Back on, I had them turn on the hot tub to see where it was and it was at 34 degrees after 13 days of no power at all, and it was zero degrees the entire time.
00:14:55.412 --> 00:14:58.499 So these hot tubs are super well insulated.
00:14:58.499 --> 00:15:04.558 Now that's not peeking in it and checking to see what's going on, but it definitely makes a huge difference.
00:15:04.558 --> 00:15:06.662 Kyle and Kayla are doing a good job here.
00:15:06.662 --> 00:15:22.215 In the comments Kayla says oh wow, that's too small, I do not have a lounge, I'm too short for a lounge, but I do to curl up in the corner at seats by the filter and, well, lounge that way with one leg up With one leg up.
00:15:22.715 --> 00:15:28.437 So I did know that Kyle and Kayla are actually my kids and they're on the shorter side.
00:15:28.437 --> 00:15:34.903 They're not both my kids, but Kayla's my daughter-in-law, but she's definitely followed our short idea there.
00:15:34.903 --> 00:15:36.551 Sorry, kyle, you're on the shorter side.
00:15:36.551 --> 00:15:41.043 And then Kyle shared the Instagram photo for you guys to all check out.
00:15:41.043 --> 00:15:45.383 And then Kayla came back and says you mentioned affordable.
00:15:45.703 --> 00:15:47.230 Let me read that because you can't see it.
00:15:47.230 --> 00:15:48.534 You mentioned being affordable.
00:15:48.534 --> 00:15:55.556 What cost do I need to consider after the initial purchase before going through with buying a hot tub?
00:15:55.556 --> 00:16:05.234 You could read that yeah, good point, you can't read anything and you can, okay, guys I just got to show you, I have to show you, I have to print this.
00:16:05.234 --> 00:16:05.595 I have glasses on.
00:16:05.855 --> 00:16:09.260 I have to print this big so he can read it, and he can read that tiny little screen on there.
00:16:09.260 --> 00:16:09.964 So I think that's.
00:16:10.115 --> 00:16:11.320 I cannot read newspapers.
00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:14.442 I'm 60 years old and, yeah, everything's got to be blown up for me.
00:16:14.481 --> 00:16:18.759 But that's all good, so it is all good, because my eyesight is getting up there as well.
00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:27.860 So the that you need to be thinking about when buying a hot tub, other than the cost of the hot tub, is you need a solid surface to put it on.
00:16:27.860 --> 00:16:32.298 So, whether that's a deck, a concrete pad, that is what we prefer.
00:16:32.298 --> 00:16:35.004 So preferably you're putting it on a concrete slab.
00:16:35.004 --> 00:16:40.426 If you haven't poured one yet, we would like it to be six inches, a six inch deep floating slab.
00:16:40.426 --> 00:16:43.619 It doesn't have to be reinforced or have footings or anything like that.
00:16:43.619 --> 00:16:45.842 If you already have concrete there, it's fine.
00:16:45.842 --> 00:16:47.264 You don't need to rip it out.
00:16:47.264 --> 00:16:49.349 You need pavers.
00:16:49.349 --> 00:16:50.535 I've put them on gravel.
00:16:50.535 --> 00:16:55.148 I've put them on railroad ties, the free flow spas, which are absolutely awesome.
00:16:55.148 --> 00:16:56.923 You can just put those directly out on the yard.
00:16:56.923 --> 00:16:58.190 You can put those on grass.
00:16:58.190 --> 00:17:00.236 They're a great option for a plug and play.
00:17:00.236 --> 00:17:02.842 So there's definitely that.
00:17:02.842 --> 00:17:04.286 So you need the solid surface to put on.
00:17:04.286 --> 00:17:06.717 You're going to need the power to hook it up to.
00:17:06.717 --> 00:17:12.528 If it's a 110 hot tub most of them these days are 110 hot tub.
00:17:12.528 --> 00:17:16.542 They're just a regular 110, 15 amp plug in.
00:17:16.542 --> 00:17:19.189 That's going to be the, again, the free flows.
00:17:19.189 --> 00:17:21.038 That's a plug and play option.
