| 0:00.0 | Hello there. It is Eric Erickson here. The phone number, if you want to be on the program, |
| 0:04.5 | 877-9774-25. We got a small tech issue, but that's all right. I got plenty to say, |
| 0:12.6 | I got to start with something. I wasn't going to start with, but I got to go there. |
| 0:19.8 | I mentioned yesterday that I've got a pellet grill. Now, look, I've got a big green egg. I don't use it very much anymore because now I just mastered it. I want to speed up what I cook. But I've got a 20 pound Waggoo brisket from Snake River Farms. I'm supposed to smoke. I was supposed to do it last night, but it doesn't |
| 0:38.3 | fit on the big green egg. I got to use my Rectek, the pellet grill that I have, and the motor broke. So Rectec overnighted me a motor so that I could put it in today, smoke it tonight, get to my in-laws tomorrow, and we can still have the brisket. FedEx never picked up the package. I could see that FedEx was on the way. |
| 0:35.1 | I could track it with FedEx and they just the package. I could see that FedEx was on the way. |
| 0:55.1 | I could track it with FedEx and they just never, for some reason, something must have happened. |
| 0:59.2 | So before I realized this morning that the part wasn't going to get here, I already had a call from the folks at rec tech. |
| 1:06.1 | And they are driving a guy, a guy is driving from them to me to install it. And before you say, |
| 1:13.5 | well, it's because you're on radio. They do this to everybody. This is how good their customer |
| 1:16.8 | services. Um, you're more joining a fraternity than you are just buying a grill. You're joining a |
| 1:23.1 | group. Um, and look, I'm not paid. This is not an endorsement deal. I'm just telling you, this is what happened. |
| 1:30.3 | They realized before I realized FedEx never actually made it to pick up the shipment. And so they |
| 1:36.7 | called me this morning and they said, don't worry about it. We know you've got this weekend event. |
| 1:41.5 | You got to get your brisket done. We have somebody. We're putting them in a car. |
| 1:44.5 | They'll be at your house. Leave the grill out. Don't worry about tools. We will take care of it. |
| 1:48.9 | That is impressive customer service. Now, that is impressive customer service. And if you were trying to |
| 1:54.7 | figure out, if you're in the market for a pellet grill, I'm just giving you my word of mouth. |
| 1:59.4 | This is real. And if I put this online, you don't have to believe me when I say they would do it for anyone, not just the guy on radio. They would do it for any of their customers. And the stories, when I put this up online of them doing the same thing for other people, is impressive. I mean, the CEO gives every single customer his cell phone number and literally |
| 2:18.5 | it's him. I've tried it. It's him. Just amazing customer service. Thank you. I wanted to actually |
| 2:25.2 | take time out at the start of the show to thank them. That's just above and beyond the call. |
| 2:28.9 | And the in-laws will get my 20 pound Wagoo Biscuit tomorrow. |
