So I'll just share my screen here. So I just again, wanna make sure that I'm not confused here. So here is this contract. So I don't think he cares if you wanna know the truth. I mean, I think he'll do whatever. I don't think he wants to deal with room receipts and shit like that. So his cost for fuel, I think, was about 1,200. K. So I can have him back that out. That will make the cost of the agreement.

00:00:37 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
Well, then but then he's gotta keep receipts for fuel. Do you think he's okay with that?

00:00:42 - [SHAWN_REMICK]
Here's what I was gonna tell him. Send us your fuel cost and either send us a receipt, a picture from the pump, or your credit card bill screenshot. Yeah. Are you good with that, like, plan? And then we add all that together, and that becomes what this is.

00:01:07 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
I think that's probably easier than him trying to adjust Yeah. This or it's 10 more or less or whatever.

00:01:12 - [SHAWN_REMICK]
I wanna be really clear with you. The idea of diesel fuel was me. It was not him, but he was he got real nervous when I brought it up. And I just said, like, what did you calculate on? We're at 5 a gallon right now. And he's like, oh my god. I calculated on 4.49. And I said, look, dude. I don't know what's gonna happen in three weeks. Like, diesel could be 8 a gallon.

00:01:39 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
Easily. Yeah.

00:01:40 - [SHAWN_REMICK]
So I just said we gotta I I think the right thing to do here is to address he had a bunch of weird terms like legger fees and some other shit, and he just had GPT, man. He admitted like, alright. This isn't my my jam. And I just said the only thing that's you're not protected on is fuel and, honestly, travel. But assuming this gets signed, he'll book he'll book his flight Monday, and the price is locked. So I think he'll I think he'll be fine as long as we can be flexible on credit card snapshots, his guy taking a photo or taking a photo of the pump. And we know that it's roughly 2,200 miles at eight miles a gallon. Like, we know the amount of gallons that we should be paying for.

00:02:23 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
Yeah. If he has to yeah. If he books some crazy mileage, then we would Yeah.

00:02:28 - [SHAWN_REMICK]
Yeah. There's a

00:02:29 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
So I'm not worried about it.

00:02:30 - [SHAWN_REMICK]
Yeah. He he yeah. Okay. So I'm gonna take all of this out. Just put fuel is essentially fully reimbursed, and then I'm gonna decrease this by his fuel price, which I need to actually get him to send me in writing Okay. Via email. It's gonna be about 2 I think 1,200 is what he texted me. That'll drop this down to, like, 12 let's say 12.06, and then we'll just pay him for fuel.

00:02:58 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
Okay.

00:02:59 - [SHAWN_REMICK]
Alright. Cool. I just wanna make sure on and then as far as this, his invoice, when you say a detailed breakdown, like, you don't want his trucking cost and everything. You just want 12 whatever plus anything he's charging us out of

00:03:15 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
cart for. Yeah. So the contract says contract. Okay. So no. I just meant, like Okay. Floor seats, you know, anything. So I can't think of anything. So if you got I'll

00:03:25 - [SHAWN_REMICK]
change this. I'll change this, and I'm gonna make it say invoice should match transportation cost above plus additional charges with supporting documentation, and I'll leave what you put in.

00:03:36 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
That works.

00:03:37 - [SHAWN_REMICK]
Okay. Cool. Because I got confused about, like, are you still wanting, like, detailed receipts of everything?

00:03:42 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
No. No. No. Okay.

00:03:44 - [SHAWN_REMICK]
Good deal. Then I think that's the only other item. And then do you wanna knock out are you cool knocking out the IP? Yeah. Saw you.

00:03:50 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
Go back and look at it, but we can do it real quick.

00:03:55 - [SHAWN_REMICK]
I read through it. I don't

00:03:56 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
Yeah. Just kill the

00:03:57 - [SHAWN_REMICK]
whole section. I'm fine with that. We'll take out six, renumber, which is always the worst. Oh, it renumbered for me. I say it should be in person. Remedy stays. Right? Because it talks about Yeah. Confidentiality. So attorney's fees, governing law. I don't think there's anything else that

00:04:15 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
Everything else should be in person.

00:04:20 - [SHAWN_REMICK]
Some of the stuff I don't even understand. But, anyway okay. Cool. Then I will I'll give him a call, get this hardened up. He's that way, we can get this done before he leaves. Double check And then I'll get

00:04:30 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
real quick just to make sure they're right.

00:04:33 - [SHAWN_REMICK]
The dates?

00:04:34 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
Yes. Because I had I changed the date.

00:04:36 - [SHAWN_REMICK]
This? Yeah. Because I I I widened this out in case his trip ran long. It's the only

00:04:44 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
thing I did.

00:04:44 - [SHAWN_REMICK]
Okay. So I just wanna make sure. But, honestly, we could go ahead and say the contract period isn't until, you know, April. I guess there's You can just say

00:04:57 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
just put effective date through whatever end date you

00:05:00 - [SHAWN_REMICK]
want. Okay. Oh, I got it coming there. Okay. Like that? Yeah. Obviously, unbolden that. I think you're supposed to put the word to in here in that contractee Yeah. Ish.

00:05:21 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
No one would know if it but you're supposed to. Yeah.

00:05:26 - [SHAWN_REMICK]
That makes sense. And then if he gets back a little bit late, that covers I just said the end of the month Okay. Purposes of this. Okay. Good deal. I'll get this updated over to him. Thank you. Later. Hey. No worries. Just I sent you that r and d comment, dude. That got really bizarre, just so you're clear.

00:05:44 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
Who was on that call? Was it you and Amity?

00:05:46 - [SHAWN_REMICK]
Amity Amity and Joe? Ren. No. Ren, and then Ren brought a friend that we were not supposed to share with Shaper showed up. There's a underground Shaper of people who are dissenting against this. And one of his engineers, I think it's Ben, was still technically works for, and he was just trying to give some input. But, like, they're asking to buy all of the electronics too, which explains why Jeremy lost his shit over that topic. And so I, off to the side in a chat, told Casey and Amity, like, this is another topic that we've been beating our head against the wall. Like and the discussion was just pack it all up and bring it to Lebanon, which, again, like, it I don't know how much of this we're gonna do before we just decide we need to bring the whole damn thing to Lebanon. But

00:06:39 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
Well, I was actually just sitting here thinking, like, I just got out of a meeting with Amity and Mike about Can I

00:06:45 - [SHAWN_REMICK]
can I ask you a can I ask you a question? On this trucking agreement, is there a thing in there that if we back out of this deal, we just pay him his cost to move on? Are we good in that department? He'll be good with that. I just wanna make sure you feel good with that.

00:06:59 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
Let me pull up your contract again. What was the

00:07:03 - [SHAWN_REMICK]
Because in two more weeks, I feel like this is just moving in a bizarre way. Let me look at terminate.

00:07:12 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
Okay. Notwithstanding any provision in the agreement contrary, this may be terminated for any reason. Fourteen days.

00:07:24 - [SHAWN_REMICK]
In the event that you can see

00:07:26 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
his engagement here under shall be terminated.

00:07:36 - [SHAWN_REMICK]
Okay. Let me

00:07:37 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
just double check something real quick. Alright?

00:07:48 - [SHAWN_REMICK]
That one may be there.

00:08:05 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
Contact period effective fees for service 300.

00:08:14 - [SHAWN_REMICK]
Earned through such termination date. This is still written for an employee. VPCs compensation. Okay. Hold on. Yeah.

00:08:25 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
Let me rewrite this section, and then

00:08:29 - [SHAWN_REMICK]
Just that we would pay them for costs they've already paid, but not the entirety. Well, shoot. We'll pay Honestly, really, the answer is if it's before the thirteenth. Yeah, I don't know. So I just say whatever costs the damages they've occurred or whatever and call it a day. Because once the thirteenth happens and he's out there, like, at that point, the entire 12 is the cost Yeah. For the most part. It would have to be canceled. No. The truck is cancellation up to the day. We validated that.

00:09:10 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
Okay.

00:09:12 - [SHAWN_REMICK]
Not that I thought this was gonna fall apart from the beginning. But Right. Right. I I do think there's a a shot. And and the other option here to think about is and I think we could amend if this happens. But if this becomes he needs to rent a 53 footer, that becomes a different game.

00:09:33 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
Yeah. He would just we would have to just this can be modified in by email. We put that in here. So we'll Yeah. We would

00:09:40 - [SHAWN_REMICK]
just Yeah. Upping wouldn't be a big deal.

00:09:44 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
Okay. In the event of such TTS will pay BPC for any cost incurred by BPC as set forth in schedule a earned through the through the date of such termination. Does that sound fair? Yeah.

00:10:01 - [SHAWN_REMICK]
Yeah. That seems reasonable.

00:10:03 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
Okay.

00:10:04 - [SHAWN_REMICK]
Who are you talking to, you said?

00:10:06 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
Amity and Mike about this NetSuite thing and how long we need it. Are you're on that call this afternoon. Right?

00:10:14 - [SHAWN_REMICK]
I am not on that call. No. I was on yesterday's call. Who's Another Hold on. Let me find out who's on this. I thought it was you and me both. Boy, I'll tell you, Casey pushing hard, though, isn't he? Who's Pat's on this call?

00:10:34 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
Kevin Pill. Oh, just me and Pat. You you need to be are you free at 1230 by chance?

00:10:41 - [SHAWN_REMICK]
Yeah. I don't think I have anything today. Pat. Who's Pat? Lorenzo? Lorenziak. He seems like a nice guy.

00:10:53 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
Yeah. He's okay. He's just I

00:10:56 - [SHAWN_REMICK]
I don't little of a very he doesn't he doesn't seem like a very good financial guy. But Right. I mean, they're missing half their capital list, but what does is this to get Mike's perspective on?

00:11:19 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
Yeah. Basically, finding out if Mike sees value in in long term, and he said no. Basically, he just wants to you know, whatever date we kill NetSuite, he create the journal entry in SAP, and we start processing out of that system as as a TTS call.

00:11:38 - [SHAWN_REMICK]
Yeah. I I understand Mike's thought on that, but I don't think I like Mike, but I'm learning that Mike has some gaps in terms of thinking.

00:11:46 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
Amity says the same thing.

00:11:48 - [SHAWN_REMICK]
Yeah. So, like, he understands that NetSuite holds who owes us what money by vendor. Yes. Like, you can say you're gonna collect whatever the hell you want, but if you're not if you don't have a record of that, like, how are you gonna go after them, and who's gonna handle the debt collection here? And there will be debt collection because I would imagine there are gonna be some equipment that doesn't come back, some

00:12:18 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
Yeah.

00:12:19 - [SHAWN_REMICK]
Consignment. I mean, consignment's gotta be cleared out.

00:12:22 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
Yeah. What if something's damaged and never makes it back or whatever else? So I I included you in this. So

00:12:28 - [SHAWN_REMICK]
then Alright.

00:12:28 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
The purpose is to have another meeting with that group, and I wanted you in that next meeting after this discussion, and we find out what's even possible. So

00:12:37 - [SHAWN_REMICK]
You mean with the company?

00:12:39 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
With NetSuite. Yeah.

00:12:40 - [SHAWN_REMICK]
Or Oracle or whoever. Yeah. I don't I don't think I don't think they're gonna be pleasant, but, I mean, I do think the leverage is, dude, we'll just tell them we'll just go to freaking hey. QuickBooks. Or we could do this gracefully. And if this is how you handle business, we have another line of business with your company still. And and they don't know who they don't know who reports to who.

00:13:05 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
Yeah. We'll just say, you know, we we use NetSuite in other areas, and we wanna you know, we'd expect, you know, I don't know, better relationship.

00:13:13 - [SHAWN_REMICK]
Cooperation? So yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I just don't think this should be I don't know if I'd have Casey on that meeting, though.

00:13:21 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
No. I would not. Because he'll free up

00:13:22 - [SHAWN_REMICK]
He he is a fanboy of keeping this. I mean, I

00:13:30 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
He wants to keep it busy here. Backed down to nine months, but I don't understand why.

00:13:35 - [SHAWN_REMICK]
Yeah. I don't think that data migration is tricky at all. I think it's gonna be pretty, my opinion. Worst case scenario, you pull it out in 20 to 30 Excel sheets at worst case scenario, and we put those in Azure ourselves. But I will say the fact that it's hosted at Germany is a problem.

00:13:54 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
Yeah. I agree with that. That was kinda I didn't actually foresee that. So

00:13:59 - [SHAWN_REMICK]
Yeah. And that German data is in there. That's bizarre as well, and I don't know. Anyway, I'll leave you alone, but I I just wanted to see where that I I just wanted to be aware of the whole thing with r and d. It's by only reason I brought it up. It's super weird, and I I think at some point, they've got to say enough's enough. Like, between trying to buy the woodworking tools, the affection of IT equipment, Did you get any response from Philip yet?

00:14:28 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
No. I haven't yet. And I

00:14:29 - [SHAWN_REMICK]
That guy. It's frustrating.

00:14:31 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
I think he just hates our guts, and he's just noping out of everything at this point. I and I don't know what to do about it. So I

00:14:40 - [SHAWN_REMICK]
I I imagine if you tell Jeremy this information, he you'll you'll get ahold of him. Yeah. It's true. And be like, hey. We've been trying to contact Philip for a week. It hadn't worked out. So here's the punch line.

00:14:58 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
I'm gonna I'm trying to I I actually thought about just sending it to him an email and saying, give me a call so we can discuss this because I figured he'll call pretty quick at that point.

00:15:08 - [SHAWN_REMICK]
Yeah. I I agree. Once he knows the topic. So because I was trying

00:15:12 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
to kinda play it coy, but I think that's working against me on this one.

00:15:17 - [SHAWN_REMICK]
Yeah. I don't disagree. I I just think it's right to let him know first and let his team know. But if he doesn't wanna be a partner, it is what it is. Alright. Alright, man. Later, man. Yeah.
