Speaker 1: So I've made a lot of mistakes as a consumer,
Speaker 1: and sometimes I'm too leery of somebody trying to take
Speaker 1: advantage of me, so I put up a wall of defense.
Speaker 1: I'll give you an example. When I bought my house
Speaker 1: many many years ago. We were endorsing star Power at
Speaker 1: the time, and so the company that they had set
Speaker 1: up to work with us on audio video in the
Speaker 1: home was a different company. And you know, when you
Speaker 1: go through buying a house, you know there's certain upgrades
Speaker 1: you do along the way, and you're like, I, yes,
Speaker 1: we agree to this price, but we now want this
Speaker 1: room painted this color, and this room painted this color.
Speaker 1: I need imported tile. Right. You make these decisions that
Speaker 1: escalate things. And so at the end of that road,
Speaker 1: it was the audio video stuff, okay. And I was like,
Speaker 1: they were like, would you like us to pre wire
Speaker 1: your home? I was like, wait a second, what are
Speaker 1: you trying to do? What are you trying to do?
Speaker 1: We're trying to save you a lot of like dry
Speaker 1: wall stuff. I'm like, I don't need any audio video
Speaker 1: from you. Guys. The Pigeon Brothers got me. You're right,
Speaker 1: you know I got the star Power guy, right, don't
Speaker 1: try to sell anything. I'm not buying anything. I just
Speaker 1: went into the whole conversation like, no, no, don't try
Speaker 1: to sell me anything. I don't want anything from you.
Speaker 1: And they're like, well, what about just a basic pre wire?
Speaker 1: I said, I said nothing, okay, because we're gonna be
Speaker 1: wiring it anyways. So I screwed myself. I've been there.
Speaker 1: I understand. So my house does not have wiring set
Speaker 1: up though, which would have been so easy to do
Speaker 1: when it was built from scratch and it was just
Speaker 1: the shell of a house that would just run the
Speaker 1: wires that way. You don't have to do it after
Speaker 1: you've moved into a finished house. Now you're gonna be
Speaker 1: punching through drywall and then you're gonna be patching and repainting.
Speaker 1: So that is and I because I am a sales guy,
Speaker 1: sales guys aren't the easiest guys to sell. Yeah, how
Speaker 1: did they not get you on this pre wire? I
Speaker 1: mean that's why I gotta I gotta tell myself, man,
Speaker 1: keep your defense up, like, don't let them get you,
Speaker 1: because I'll buy anything. I mean, if I see a
Speaker 1: good advertisement on you know, Instagram, I'll just buy it.
Speaker 1: I will point you over to that corner. You see
Speaker 1: that giant box right there. M hm, that's something that
Speaker 1: I bought off Instagram. What is that? Look at it?
Speaker 1: Take a look at it. Seeho you think it is
Speaker 1: to the left of that part. It's a huge calendar.
Speaker 1: It's a huge calendar. You guys see the ads. It's
Speaker 1: the size of our whole broadcast table. It's amazing, and
Speaker 1: I thought, what a great idea. It shows the whole year.
Speaker 1: It's so giant. It shows the whole year. I like
Speaker 1: being able to see an entire year at one time.
Speaker 1: We'll always know what's going on. But oh, I don't
Speaker 1: have anywhere big enough to put it. Yeah, okay, because
Speaker 1: it's a whole year. It's a whole it takes it.
Speaker 1: There's not a wall in our studio big enough. Yeah okay.
Speaker 1: So I typically take you know, I have to be
Speaker 1: on guard. So that's how it was with my house.
Speaker 1: So when you guys buy a car, it's not typically
Speaker 1: just buying car. You buy the car and they're like, okay, great,
Speaker 1: we got a deal. This is awesome. Do you want
Speaker 1: your windows to roll down? We'd now like to take
Speaker 1: you back to the finance department and we'll talk to
Speaker 1: you about some things, and I'm like, every time I
Speaker 1: go back there unnecessarily, so yeah, I'm like, no, don't
Speaker 1: try to get over. I mean, and like our friends
Speaker 1: at prosper Forward, they make it so easy. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I don't want anything. They're like, hey, relax, it's not
Speaker 1: what we do save you money, right right? They don't. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And so I bring too much anti sales energy to
Speaker 1: sales environments because you you're protecting yourself. Yes, yeah before
Speaker 1: prosper Ford you got a prostate exam during that financing.
Speaker 1: I'm a part of this. It's the same reason Kat
Speaker 1: you say you protect your heart when you go to
Speaker 1: a strip club. You have to. You don't want a
Speaker 1: thong love Yep, but it's inevitably. I love there for
Speaker 1: a lot long about fifteen years since I've been to
Speaker 1: a strip club. First birthday, Baby Dolls, Do you guys
Speaker 1: buy some of the extra things when you close on
Speaker 1: a vehicle. I would love to be able to answer
Speaker 1: this question, but right now all I can think about
Speaker 1: is how his twenty first birthday worked out at Baby Dolls.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm so distracted, but it was like a
Speaker 1: byob situation and their full nude. It was very strange. Yeah, oh, look,
Speaker 1: that's what a vagina looks like. I had no idea.
Speaker 1: Christina's gross, I'd never seen one. Why are you throwing
Speaker 1: it to her? She wanted to off her and put.
Speaker 1: I just don't want sweaty nude people around me. I uh,
Speaker 1: I just I'm more inclined to make like. The thing
Speaker 1: that I want more than anything is like, I want
Speaker 1: a very easy maintenance package. Okay, you know, I'm sure
Speaker 1: that's not the smartest thing to you, but I will.
Speaker 1: If it's a new car, I will prepay for all
Speaker 1: the service. Okay, and it's smart, Yeah, smart, I don't know. Well,
Speaker 1: I'll give you an example of one of the things
Speaker 1: I bought one time, and I'm so glad I did. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Do you guys remember when I was switching into We've
Speaker 1: worked together now for a long time. Remember when I
Speaker 1: would switch into a new car like every four or
Speaker 1: five months? Huh Yeah, he met long ago. Yeah, last year. Yeah. Well,
Speaker 1: when you do that, you roll over a ton of
Speaker 1: negative equity from one deal to the next, to the
Speaker 1: next to the next. You just stack up all this
Speaker 1: negative equity. In other words, your car, the loan is
Speaker 1: worth more than the car? Right right? So do you
Speaker 1: guys remember when I totalled my car? Called the frankeles
Speaker 1: that whole story. Yeah, totaled my car. Well at the
Speaker 1: time I owed on that car like twenty five grand
Speaker 1: more than it was worth. And you didn't have GAP insurance,
Speaker 1: did you. I from the scene like, I'm in pain,
Speaker 1: my car is smoking. The police aren't even there yet.
Speaker 1: I called the guy I bought the car from. I go, dude,
Speaker 1: did I get GAP insurance? He goes, where are you?
Speaker 1: I go, dude, I'm on the side of the road.
Speaker 1: I think I just totalled my car. What were you
Speaker 1: driving at the time? Alexis and in the four door
Speaker 1: a Lexus And uh and you paid extra for those
Speaker 1: two doors regularly, add you upsold me at the last
Speaker 1: you want four doors? I was like, God drafted by
Speaker 1: a backseat now so so anyways, he goes, hold on,
Speaker 1: let me look up. He goes, yeah, you got GAP insurance.
Speaker 1: I was like, yes, okay, uh huh. So do you
Speaker 1: guys realize since I moved to the prosperous line of border,
Speaker 1: how many windshields I've gone through? Wow? I got a
Speaker 1: windshield hook up? If you mean, okay, so my windshield, Like,
Speaker 1: there's so much construction that you constantly hear like you
Speaker 1: I've had I've had to replace several windshields. And the
Speaker 1: other day I was driving down the toll way. There's
Speaker 1: big ass truck in front of me. I can't get
Speaker 1: around it, and I hear a wop sound like a rock.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, something just hit my windshield.
Speaker 1: But I didn't see it and see where it was.
Speaker 1: So today, by the way, I think that sucks that
Speaker 1: those guys get those big, jigantic construction contracts and they
Speaker 1: don't have to be accountable for all the craft that
Speaker 1: they cause people. So I was, Uh. The other day,
Speaker 1: I was driving my car and I was like, oh no,
Speaker 1: there's a crack in my windshield. And I was like,
Speaker 1: I need to go one of those car washes where
Speaker 1: they'll stop the crack by putting a little hole, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, because they always anytime you go
Speaker 1: to a nice carver, so he wants to check your windshield. No,
Speaker 1: I don't want to be upsold. Yeah, but I watched
Speaker 1: that line get bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger,
Speaker 1: and so in a short amount of time. That thing's
Speaker 1: about to take over my whole windshield. And I remember
Speaker 1: being at the dealership this last time I butt and
Speaker 1: I remember them trying to sell me windshield insurance. A
Speaker 1: that's incredible, And I was like, man, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I want the lowest payment, but you know I have
Speaker 1: to replace these windshields all the time. So I called
Speaker 1: today to find out if I had it, and I did,
Speaker 1: let's go. How much was it? How about that? Well,
Speaker 1: I don't remember that. I don't remember when I got it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I'm getting a free windshield, but they have to
Speaker 1: have your car for four weeks and they're gonna have
Speaker 1: to have my car for a minute. Yeah, which reminds me.
Speaker 1: What of the intro? Ah, I said, give you a lemon,
Speaker 1: then call twenty first birthday players. I don't think baby.
Speaker 2: That dark time movies? Right now?
Speaker 1: You're ready, right right, right, right time to do one time.
