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