Craig: [coughs]

Amfermee: Can I listen to his, uh, voicemail?

Craig: [The phone rings 7 times. Craig coughs. The phone rings 2 more times and goes to voicemail] Hi, my name is Richard Cullen from Adam and Steve dot com, your son owes fourteen dollars on a purchase of anal beads from the Adam and Steve Manlyhood Collection, uh, for little pansies. Uh, we’d just like him to collec--to, uh, make the purchase on our website please? Just tell him that he re--needs to re-enter his credit card because we’ve been having problems with his credit card numbers in the past, and uh, we would really like for him to make these purchases, ‘cause he owes us a lot of money in all these anal beads and anal lube and gay porn tapes. We’d just really like your son Christian Weston Chandler, to come down and, to, uh, make these purchases please. Also, um, we would really like to wonder why your son [inaudible] like [voicemail ends] a girl?

Amfermee: [chuckles]

Craig: Hey, Am, you wanna try one?

Amfermee: [groans]. Yeah, go ahead, do it.

Craig: No, do you wanna pretend to be, do you want, do you want to do one? Like…

Amfermee: Yeah, yeah, I’ll do it.

Craig: Okay, okay. And then maybe we can, like, order some pizzas. [They both chuckle, then call Bob again. After two rings, Bob answers. Throughout the call, Craig and Amfermee have a slight echo]

Bob: Hello?

Craig: Bob?

Amfermee: Hey Bob!

Craig: How’s it goin’?

Bob: Hello?

Craig: Bob, Bob, this is Craig, Craig, the en--the engineering student.

Amfermee: The engineering student.

Craig: How are you doing?

Amfermee: How’s it goin’?

Bob: It’s alright, I guess.

Craig: That’s good.

Bob: I got in the hospital and got back out again.

Craig: Oh, are you feeling better? [Amfermee grunts for some reason]

Bob: I’m having a problem with uh… [inaudible] retention.

Craig: Oh, okay. But, but you’re feeling better though, right?

Bob: Oh, I’m, I’m just… day by day I guess I’m getting better.

Craig: That’s good, that’s good, how was your week?

Bob: What?

Craig: How was your week?

Bob: How was my week? I’ve been in the hospital.

Craig: But like how’s this–

Bob: I just got out yesterday.

Craig: Oh, okay, alright. S--sorry about that, uh, how’s the family?

Bob: Uh, they, they’re fine.

Craig: That’s good, that’s good. Well, uh, I’m, I’m done my finals for the semester. So—

Bob: You’re in your final semester, huh?

Craig: Yeah, I finished my, uh, s--my… semester.

Bob: Are you gonna graduate or is this just this year?

Craig: Oh no, but it’s this--this is my first year. It’s my first year. And it was a tough–

Bob: Your first year?

Craig: Yeah, it was a tough year, let me tell you. Oh, it was, it was a lot of work, like… To, to be honest with you, uh, because, you, you’ve pa--you’ve p--ad a lot of patents. Like, like, what, what ma--like, what genius, like… cause I’m, a, a, I actually checked out some of your patents with the pren--the presses and stuff like that. Like, what made you come up with those ideas?

Bob: [chuckles] I gotta give you some… hypothetical questions, huh?

Craig: I just wanna know, like, how did it, like, like how, like… in what state of mind were you in when you came up with these machines for like, plastic molding and stuff?

Bob: Well, you got a problem? You solve it.

Craig: Well, what was your problem?

Bob: Well, you go find out the, the customer’s problem, what he wants to do.

Craig: Okay, alright…

Bob: Then you figure out a way to solve it.

Craig: Oh, okay. Sweet, sweet, so like, so di--were you working for a company or were you like an independent?

Bob: No, I was working for GE.

Craig: GE, nice, General Electric.

Bob: Yeeeah.

Craig: That’s good! I, that’s pretty impressive, like, I, I hope to actually… uh, I'm hoping to actually be, like, landing a job after, uh, after I’m done with school with, uh, Austin company…like GE, heh…I’m trying.

Bob: One of the toughest ones I ever had. I mean, how would you like to be sitting there at your desk, and they come in and say you’ve got a new assignment? And you ask them what this assignment is, and they say “Well, you’ve gotta automate this blast furnace, sittin’ up in Pittsburgh, for U.S. Steel, and nobody’s ever automated one before.”

Craig: That would actually make me shake in my boots, sir.

Bob: [chuckles] Well, I did it. It took two years, but I did it.

Craig: That is amazing, like I…to be honest, like, I would be freaking out, like I would be sweating bullets not knowing what to do. Like, I bet you there was, like, a lot of–

Bob: First thing you do is you, first thing you do is you just organize it! You go to them, and you find out exactly what they want this thing to do, and you go learn the language of the particular, uh, field that they’re in, like this place it was, uh, melting of steel, right?

Craig: Right.

Bob: And then you g--learn that language. And then you learn to, [inaudible] like you were them. And you say, “What do I wanna do? What, how do we produce this thing?” Then you produce the equivalent that causes it to do the same thing.

Craig: Okay…

Bob: That’s all [inaudible].

Craig: Wild late nights working on that, eh?

Bob: Well, there was some interesting…little quirks in that, nobody’s ever done it before.

Craig: So, so, di--did you see the first two liter plastic bottles rolling off the assembly line?

Bob: I did.

Craig: Li--like, that must’ve brought a tear to your eye, though, right? To see your brainchild, like, right there in, me--mechanical form, working, and being successful.

Bob: Yeah, well, it’s nice!

Craig: Yeah!

Bob: I watched the first, uh, oh well there’s lots of other things I watched come off. I watched the first bifold plastic closet door, you know these closet doors you got that, they hang up everywhere, it's made out of plastic?

Craig: Oh yeah, I know those.

Bob: Yeah, well I watched the first one come off the line, up in Massachusetts. [Chuckles]

Craig: That must’ve been amazing.

Bob: I watched the first bottles being blown for milk bottles.

Craig: Oh, nice.

Bob: I watched, I watched the first, uh, dashboard being blown for a General Motors car.

Craig: That is, oh, man, that’s impressive, uh, I…I could only hope to dream to actually accomplish something like that.

Bob: Well, it’s like I said, I was lucky all my life. I was in this area at GE. Which was called the New Business Area.

Craig: Okay.

Bob: And there was a group of us, that worked in the New Business Areas. And we, we had to take these new business opportunities, that, some customer had this wild dream, [inaudible] to automate his blast furnace, right?

Craig: Right.

Bob: Like U.S. Steel. He had this dream. He wants to do this, so you go talk to him enough, so you can write it down, and then follow his specifications.

Craig: Okay.

Bob: And once you’ve got your specification all written down, and what he wants to do, how it’s gonna work, and all this, then you do the process of, of getting your feedback sensors, and your controls, to match up to do what his specification says he wants it to do. It’s just that simple.

Craig: Like–

Bob: Just like one step at a time.

Craig: Like, like, did you see, like, um…cause, like, you, you were in, like, the whole plastic molding industry stuff, like, you invented all those machines, like, did you do anything with Nintendo? Did Nintendo ever, like, come up to GE and ask for help?

Bob: No.

Craig: No?--

Bob: They, they pretty much didn’t, because they, they stole everything in Japan. They stole all our technology from here.

Craig: Okay.

Bob: And, so, they never bothered with it.

Craig: Oh, okay.

Bob: But I’m sure, I’m sure that they bought, y’know, um, one of our departments, in GE, was, um, allied with uh, a numerical control department, in Japan. Uh, that was, um, uh, I can’t think of the name of the company now, but they actually were working together. For all the numerical control systems, we’d do all the automating the machines, and all this kind of stuff that goes on in our world, they stole all the controls for all that kind of stuff. And, uh, so, whatever works on a machine tool, will also work on plastics or anything else, the same philosophy.

Craig: Okay.

Bob: It’s the same, same kind of stuff. And, ‘cause it’s all logic.

Craig: Yeah.

Bob: That’s what it is, is it’s just logic. And, um, see, I started out, first thing I did, was a blast furnace. It’s a, It’s just a great, big, 200 foot tall blast furnace, if you’ve ever seen one.

Craig: Ah, I, I, believe I have seen one, before I took my course, my, uh, dad, uh, my dad’s, well, my uncle, works in the steel industry, and I, I, he took me on a tour of this steel manufacturing plant and I, I believe I have seen one.

Bob: Well, anyway, they’re, uh, they melt some steel. They make it where it’s liquid. And, uh, but that’s the first thing I did, and then the next thing I worked on was, uh, what they call a rolling mill, a hot strip mill. Where something up in Detroit, where we were rolling thin plates of steel, uh, under computerized-type control, for, uh, making the steel on automobiles.

Craig: Okay.

Bob: We were trying to roll it thinner than they had ever rolled it before. ‘Cause we had computer control on it. That was the second thing I worked on. After that I worked on the, the, um…guess it was a petroleum system, distribution, fuel distribution systems, where what was then at a wild airport in New York, where all the jet fuel, that goes around all over these [inaudible] and everything. And planes. That was, kinda simple compared to that. [Craig chuckles] And, and then I got into, um, what they call stacker cranes, you’ve heard of them, I guess.

Craig: Yes I have.

Bob: They were used in warehousing. They used all the stacker cranes where they go up and down, stash stuff in little holes, go back and get it, bring it out, put it on a conveyor and all that stuff. I worked on the start of all that, the stacker crane controls, for warehousing. Then I did some automatic, what they call pole lines, which are, cables that are in the floor, where they throw carts around with various stuff on it, for distribution like in big warehouses, and, and plate terminals and this kind of thing. I did two or three of those, and then I helped a friend of mine do a whole bunch of automated postal, post offices, where everything was, all the mailbags were automatically, read, and, uh, shipped off to their various places around the world. [Craig and Bob chuckle] I got into, I guess some night I went into, uh, a data logger for the largest steam turbine department where they make the big, large…generator turbines, for all the atomic power plants.

Craig: Really?

Bob: In [inaudible, referring to a location]. I wor--I built the data logger, for that thing.

Craig: Oh man, that–

Bob: Which we were testing it.

Craig: That’s amazing.

Bob: And, uh…then we had to be able to do anything, but it’s all logic, so it doesn’t matter, it’s the same thing. And, after that I got into, uh, I got into a little bit of the, uh, BART, you know, the Bay Area Rapid Transit?

Craig: Yeah.

Bob: Out in San Francisco…I got out there because we were building Arnet systems, and I worked on, uh, automation for the, for the rapid transit cars for about six to eight months. [Bob chuckles while saying “and then” Craig also slightly chuckles] Then I slipped back over to, uh, place in, up in Washington state called Tupperware.

Craig: Ooo…

Bob: They wanted to automate all their machines for making tupperware. You’ve heard of that?

Craig: Oh, yeah, definitely, definitely, yeah.

Bob: And so I automated all their, their machines that, that had controls on it for molding all this tupperware plastic stuff. And then I got down and about in Rouge, Louisiana. Working with a paper company down there, to make Kleenex, they wanted to roll Kleenex…paper Kleenex, I don’t think they used controls. After that little chore, we had a…I had a little journey down to, uh, uh…place that's called Silvertown, Georgia. Where they, where Goodrich was making what they call a Silvertown tire. Which was way [inaudible] steel belted radial tires, and we were making tire cord lines down there to automate them. After that, and after that I got into, uh, mining. I did a couple of mile-deep, uh, mine horse, completely automated. And for men, and locomotive, and…everything else to go down over this five thousand-foot hole, for Climax, molybdenum out in Denver.

Craig: Oh wow.

Bob: [Bob chuckles while saying “And”. Craig also chuckles] And, that was a couple years of my life right there.

Craig: You’ve done a lot.

Bob: Coming out of that, I, I guess I, I automated four tanker ships, for, uh, well, some ship, uh, company in Seattle, where they can run the ship automatically from the bridge without having anybody fr--in the engine room.

Craig: That–

Bob: That was a little, that was a short one, that didn’t take long.

Craig: That’s amazing, I--that’s amazing, sir.

Bob: After that I got into, uh, um…the, uh… [inaudible] controls.

Part 4

Main article: Bob Chandler's call with The P Capsaicins

This exists now only as an archive on the YouTube account of "Albert Clukley". Originally posted in May 2011 under the title "Bob Call 4" it now exists as an archive with an incorrectly spelled title. (Amusingly, capsaicin is the scientific term for the extract used in pepper spray. ) It's a 15-minute recording of another conversation between Craig and Bob Chandler.

This chat occurred on 30 April 2011, and while it has been privated, it is still accessible on the Wayback Machine. Bob amicably chats about his past jobs, and certain aspects about Chris and how he grew up, like how Chris taught himself how to read by watching television with closed-captioning turned on, and his skills in video games. One notable part about this call is that Bob claims Chris never made it on the honor roll.
