Then welcome back to WSHIT's Love Lounge.
Every Wednesday night, we present a collection of videos from our singles out there in
crab apple and hopes to make that special bov connection.
Today, we have a couple of hot toddies and a couple of hot bodies for all you singles
out there.
Let's start with Jason.
Jason's videos on cue.
Jason, here's your shot at love.
Tell the ladies what they need to know.
Today, I'd like to talk about how it's a man's world.
And I'm sure this video will be loved by all the feminists out there.
I've met some atheist feminists who take issue with the Bible and with the God of the
Bible because they say that the Bible doesn't show the women are equal with men.
And my response to that was not to try to apologize for God or try to say that
the Bible doesn't mean what it says or you know, to try to reinterpret scripture in light of, you know,
our modern culture.
My response is just, man, it's a man's world.
What's wrong with that?
What a catch!
If you wanna get a hold of Jason,
if he's your special love connection ladies,
go ahead and dial the number below on the screen.
We'll be back after this, Gov. She'll break. We'll be back after this, Gov.
She'll break.
We'll be back after this, Gov.
She'll break.
We'll be back after this, Gov.
She'll break.
We'll be back after this, Gov.
She'll break.
We'll be back after this, Gov.
She'll break.
On this episode of the commercial break.
But if we started giving away free blow jobs,
with every vaccination,
I think this would encourage a lot of at least,
I mean, you know,
it's very encouraging.
Just, you know, to give some of the population
a little extra boost that they need, no pun intended.
There could be a little massage room.
Yeah, like a sensual massage.
That's sensual massage.
To figure up the button, hand shandy.
This episode sponsored by tied
Yeah, tied look at that come out of your shorts
So they're just identifying them in the park and telling them to get a life and you know We're making it difficult. I've been on Disney forums for the past 24 hours. Go get a life
I know you you are.
You're a personal shopper, Betty Pixie Dust.
You're a bitch.
Pinker.
Look at my child.
He needs another $400 mini-at.
The kid's suffering.
He opened one salon suite, apparently, so we...
Oh, with the three.
The three styl three styles because the
other three weren't available where were they on opening day you know your
first day on the job and your brand new salon suite don't you think you'd show
what you love where are you maybe you weren were never there in the first place. I don't know
Because they weren't yet available because they never showed up to work
The next episode of the commercial break starts now
Potato
Good whatever time of day it is for you. Brian, this is Chrissy, and Happy Holidays.
Best of you, Chrissy.
Best of you, Brian.
Best of you out there in the podcast universe.
How the hell are you?
Yet another episode of the commercial break.
Don't confuse us with that host, those other commercial breaks
that do you know good, give you information,
tell you facts, come here, we make shit up. up it's more fun you can take that to the bank that's
bullshit you can take to the day if we have a lot more fun over here just making
shit up on our own welcome to the commercial break thank you very much for
that I am reading recently you know whether or not how you feel about vaccine man
and mandates, whether you think they're correct
or you think they're incorrect or however you're,
whatever theory you subscribe to.
Yes.
Okay.
I will say this, that in some cases they have been proven
to work, like, you know, people actually do go get
vaccinated when they're,
And don't die.
Yeah, and don't die. Yeah, don't die.
When they're job or livelihood or whatever depend on it,
or they're incentivized to do so.
And so I'm reading recently that there is a,
I think in Sweden, there are a couple brothels
that are now giving away free sex sessions
with every vaccination.
Nice, now there's an incentive.
Now there's an idea that should take root here
in the United States.
Because here's my thought on this.
If you are inclined to believe in vaccine conspiracy theories,
you might need to get laid.
And so if we were started giving away, might.
I don't know, maybe not.
But if we started giving away free blow jobs
with every vaccination,
I think this would encourage a lot of at least,
I mean, you know, just, you know,
to give some of the population a little extra boost
that they need, no pun intended.
I mean, there could be a little massage room.
Yeah, like a sensual massage.
A sensual massage,
to figure out the button,
hand shandy.
This episode is sponsored by Tide.
And Disney.
Yeah, Tide, we'll get that come out of your shorts.
Oxy cleat.
Oxy cleat, I think this is a good idea actually.
No, no.
Listen, believe it or not, I don't believe that the government
should be forcing us to do things with our bodies.
Just like, you know, just like I believe
that women have the freedom to choose
what they do with their bodies.
But I think incentivizing people.
Yeah, just a little incentive.
You don't have to do it, but if you do,
here's something good.
Yeah, here's something a little extra.
As the kids say, there's some extra for you.
It's extra.
This episode brought
a sponsor by ExtraGum. You want fresh broth? Wait, we'll get that tasty gizadier mouth.
We're having fun today, aren't we? Yes. You sure are glad you're doing it.
Yeah, that's right. I'm all riled up from my morning activities. That's right. Additionally, speaking of Disney, I wanted to mention this,
that so Disney's had a problem.
Yeah, so just to wrap that segment up,
I am all for incentivizing.
And then, I think there are some professions
where obviously it's just makes sense
that you should probably be vaccinated
against the most notable diseases.
I agree.
In order to work there.
Disney, like Walt Disney World,
Walt Disney Corporation has had a problem for a long time
with people that are going in and they are becoming
like private sellers.
Disney has always made money off merchandising.
Disney has got to be huge.
Disney has three prongs of their maniacal little
fiefdom over there, right?
And I love Disney, by the way, but I just I see it clearly for what it is.
Well, Disney itself also owns media companies.
Yeah, you're talking about the just the well, let me the fantastical world.
Yeah, the fantastical world that whole Disney village.
And all of that.
I'm actually talking about the whole Disney village.
All umbrella number one is content.
Right.
They are a content owner, provider, publisher, producer, whatever. We all know.
And have been for a long time before Disney Plus came out.
That was the first thing that they did.
They made cartoons and that's how Walt Disney started, right?
Okay, so they put out the content, Disney Plus and all that shit.
I had two subscriptions, Marvel Universe, the whole nine yards.
You understand.
You go, you go.
It's a living of, we can all turn it universe not to know that
Disney plus is out there and probably in your house somewhere right okay
Disney plus number one prong number one prong number two they are an
incredible logistics company those well those resorts that they have and
cruise lines and all the other shit and hotels across the world they know how to push many people in and out of situations where they spend money, they do
it quickly and they feel safe and happy doing so.
They are not a theme park corporation, they are a logistics corporation.
How do we wash thousands of towels more efficiently?
How do we move people from one place to the other and get them to spend money while doing it?
That's what they do really well. They're a logistics company.
That's true. When I think about it, it totally makes sense.
Okay, I learned this, I thought about this a long time ago and I absolutely know that.
Do you think about it 21 years ago?
Uh, we'll get to that. We'll get to that.
We'll get to 21 years ago. I had had an idea that lid could make marks on paper.
And so I started the Frankie B pencil corporation.
Pencil consulting corporation.
Number three way that Disney makes money
is by making merchandise scarce.
So you always feel you have to buy it at a premium.
Mickey Mouse is on...
Supply and demand.
Supply and demand.
They're...
They have got it down to an absolute science.
Mickey Mouse is on every fucking thing, every fucking where,
but for some reason, some set of human beings,
I conclude myself in that set of human beings,
feels like we need certain Disney merchandise immediately,
if not sooner, at the most expensive price, right?
And what they-
Scarsity.
It's scarcity.
And how they make it extra scarce, they use the logistics that they know how to do to make
it scarce in the theme parks that they own, in the land that they own in Orlando, California,
Japan, another place.
Real estate company too.
Yeah, they are a big real estate company.
Do you have a lot of real estate.
That's McDonald's is a real estate company, right?
They're not in the burger business
they're in the real estate business.
Ray Crock once said that.
So what they do is they put this certain merchandise
only in their theme parks, only for a limited time
and then they sell it at a premium.
And really what it is, it's just yet another plush toy,
yet another ornament, yet another whatever.
People have figured out how to crack the code and make money on their scarcity.
They have started or started years ago, people started popping up shops
online where they would be your personal Disney shopper.
If you can make it down to the parks for that Starbucks tumbler,
I have missed so many opportunities.
I know.
I mean, imagine being at Walt Disney World every day, For that Starbucks tumbler. Damn, I have missed so many opportunities. I know. I know.
I mean, imagine being at Walt Disney World every day
shopping on behalf of other people.
I would fucking lose my mind.
Imagine screaming little kids
with their sticky little fingers
and you're fucking long lines.
I'd go like, ah!
And then you gotta bring piles of t-shirts up to the front
and people are just pissed at you for no reason.
Yeah. So Disney had said, so there's an example. And then you got to bring piles of t-shirts up to the front and people are just pissed at you for no reason.
So Disney had said so there's an example Disney put out a Starbucks tumbler for their 50th anniversary that is here this year
Disney World and they only sold it in one location in Epcot center and they only sold the limited number every day
The actual tumbler was like
29.99 but people were selling them online for
The actual Tumblr was like 29.99, but people were selling them online for $250.00. There was actually a fist fight in Disney World over the last Tumblr one day, which is so fucking
assing on.
I can't even believe it.
I can't believe all this black Sunday bullshit that happened.
Black Friday bullshit that happens.
We actually went to a Walmart one time in Tampa just to see what happened at midnight on
Black Friday. It is just as scary as you think it is.
We didn't go in. We stayed outside and we watched it all happen. It's fucking insane, right? People are fucking out of their doors.
Get over yourself. I mean panties half off. Who cares? You're gonna die in there. Get out of there, Jim. Get out of there Jim, get out of there. You can get your mission safe self.
Yeah, you can get your Toshi, but TV that will break down next year somewhere else.
Okay, so these shoppers pop up and they start either reselling, they would walk into the
Disney World store inside of the theme park.
They would shove as many as they could onto the counter.
They would literally bring these huge tote bags.
They would throw everything in there.
And then they'd go and they'd resell them online
at a great markup, at a huge markup.
And or they would be your private shopper.
You would say I want six of those tumblers
for two to five.
I request a goofy flush toy with a Starbucks car.
I would like the floppy ears.
In war. Go get it for you, shopper. Sure. $500.
Let me tell me the best $500. This king has ever spent.
It's like fuck really. I need more frozen ornaments for my Christmas tree.
But I can't make it down to Orlando for my Christmas tree.
But I can't make it down to Orlando and my private plane, Quigarote.
Right?
Right.
Okay.
I have someone for that.
Yeah, I have someone for that.
I got a person that does that.
I just, I go to whatever shopper.com.
Many people started turning on these people
a long time ago, but over the last couple of months
it's really gotten into like,
turning on them, like, you know, they see them, they know who they are.
They identify these people.
There is a whole community.
What gives them away?
Like, the super mock, super mock sweeping through the Disney gifts.
Yes.
Waiting in line, being, you know, 3.30 in the morning at, you know, fucking animal kingdom
down in Orlando, waiting for the gates to open so they can run to the merchandise, sort
of pick up everything that's on sale and limited, right? Or whatever. And so people
started identifying and they started sending pictures around. I mean, there is a whole
group of adults. If you've seen this person. Yeah, have you seen this person? Exactly.
It's so fucking assing. I get like, there is a whole group of adults that do nothing but
talk about Disney all day long online. It's not productive.
Yeah, sure.
Why not?
I mean, let's be honest.
You know, let's be honest.
I'd rather than talk that to an honest.
That's right.
I mean, let's say that, okay, go talk to your Disney.
People talk about football all day long too, and lots of people don't give a shit about
football or baseball or whatever.
That's true.
So it's just a thing that they're into, right?
But they identify these people
and they started really turning on them.
Like sending ugly grams and all this other stuff.
They're just identifying them in the park
and telling them to get a life.
And we're making it difficult.
I have been on Disney forums for the past 24 hours.
Go get a life.
Go get a life.
I know you you are.
You're a personal shopper, Betty Pixie Dust.
You're a bitch.
Anchor.
Look at my child.
He needs another $400 mini-ad.
It can't suffer.
Leave the monor on toy trains alone.
You can't do that, Jackie Weaver.
So, Disney a couple of months ago started getting serious and they said, two per.
That's it.
Two per.
Two per the same item every time you go in there.
But the personal shoppers then got little wise.
They said, oh, that's fine.
Two per what?
You're going to track me in the next store I go to.
So they just would go to another park and they go to pick more of the same shit at a different park, you know, in Orlando, they got seven of
those things down there. You got this.
Smart.
So they, yes, smart or they would buy two medium, two small, two large, two extra large,
right? They are two in red, two in white, two in blue, whatever. So they, they found a way
to, to, to cockroaches find a way to survive.
Yes.
Right. So yesterday or a couple days ago, the big news on the Disney, the scuttle butt on
the Disney forums, of which I belong.
Nice.
Was that, was that the personal shoppers have been identified by Disney security and have
been trespassed.
And by trespass, when you get trespassed at a Disney park, you can no longer go in there
for life
Or until such time is Disney decides that they want to release the trespass right hurts that does hurt
Imagine you know you're like the world's biggest Disney fan you find out how to make a living do you know reselling Disney merchandise?
It is your passion and life. Yeah, you found
Passion in life Disney merchandise. It is your passion and life. Yeah, you found what Oprah said. Do you. That's right. Your passion and life. Your passion and life is. Your meaning, bringing
meaning to buy Winnie the Pooh cookie jars for Betty out in Ontario. Can't make it,
right? And then they yank your pass away for life. They say, go, you know, no more for
you. That's it.
But, you know, it's, it,
Disney has a right to do it, certainly.
I mean, there's, it's on your ticket.
When you buy the ticket,
it says that you actually cannot purchase stuff
in the parks to resell for profit.
It's one of the terms and conditions of any ticket.
And then the annual pass holders have an extra layer
of, you know, bullshit where they're like,
you certainly can't do the following.
Reminding me of a story, this whole thing reminded me of a story a couple of years ago
that was in the New York Times and then in a number of different prominent newspapers and
magazines about this group of ladies in New York that was renting out disabled children
and people and men and stuff like this to affluent families so that they could go get on the rides quickly. No, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho but God bless America, you should be allowed to do that, right?
Now, should you be allowed to buy a bunch of those
and resell them, that's up to Disney,
they made a decision, game over, right?
So, games over.
Should you be allowed to exploit someone's disability
to get you additional access so that,
like a class system at Disney,
there's always been a class system at Disney.
It's never changed.
It's always been that way.
You can buy the super pass or the extra pass
or now the mic Disney Genie plus.
But should you be allowed to take,
should the person who's disabled be allowed to sell themselves
as additional access in a system
that has a loophole that allows that to happen?
No, 100% no, I think.
That's me.
I mean, it disabled that spectrum of meanings,
definitely not children.
They can't make that decision.
And if you're a disabled adult who, you know,
you're an amputee or something like that,
I mean, maybe.
I don't know.
Maybe. Yeah, listen, I don't know either. I don't like the fact that people use their
affluence to create undue influence in the world, right? To me, that seems above and beyond.
But I also understand that this cruel world that we live in, it's just that way. There's
nothing that you can do about it. It's been that way a time infinitum, infinitum, or whatever they say.
Infinitium.
Infinitium, which is a brand new.
Brand new.
Brand new.
Brand new from the podcast, the newspapers.
Infinium.
Out of the press.
Out of the press.
Buy your Infinium on the Bitcoin exchange.
And now, yes, Infinium, the brand new altcoin
from podcast news.
Those who know, no.
As the kids like to say, those who know, no.
I don't know, I don't know the answer to that,
because if a person is disabled and they're down on their luck
and then they can ride down to Disney,
get a free trip to Disney, get $10,000 in the process.
And then all you have to do is get you.
I mean, consulting adult, but I mean,
are you talking, yeah, it's not mentally disabled.
We're talking just,
all kind of disabled, totally.
All this kind of disabled.
It was like, you know, there are like,
Disney has a whole subcategory,
just like Google has all these search engine optimization
specialists that
has created this whole new industry that we have both worked in, right? This company created
a whole sub industry that is now making, that is now sucking off the heat of this corporation.
Now Disney, of course, being one of the largest corporations in the world with many different
facets, has now created a subcategory of people who make money, bloggers, bloggers, podcasters,
people who, there are independent, like,
Disney vacation consultants that make huge dollars
for planning out your Disney vacation for you,
because that in and of itself takes a degree
and fucking computer engineering and computer science.
We just planned a Disney vacation,
and let me tell you something,
I have no fucking clue what Astrid did.
She was there for 17 days.
Just trying to put one hotel room for seven nights.
It's fucking insane.
And then trying to get, like, actually,
and now you have to plan your whole vacation before you go,
they don't let you just walk up to the ride anymore.
Now you have to plan the whole fucking thing out, right?
Anyway, I don't know if it's right or if it's wrong.
I'm morally, I wouldn't do it.
I hate when people cut in line.
It is one of the things that I think
is absolutely obnoxious, right?
And I don't like when people get undue influence
because of their affluence.
They create it out of thin air.
I don't like that.
But the part that bothers me the most is this.
The part that gets me that
makes me think that they did the right thing by they at least curved it right they can't
put a total stop to it. How do you do that? Right? You can't say that Bob with one leg
is not your friend. Right? I mean if you yeah, it's a fine line. I feel like. Yeah, yeah,
yeah. What are you going to do? Yeah, show me show me some pictures
What is this? Are you an immigration officer? Yeah, I've been through that
And let me tell you if your love is real and your marriage is real then there's no drama to that immigration office At least we didn't have any so what happened was a couple years ago
I went to a to Disney with a friend of mine who has an actually who who has a child that would actually be considered disabled. A true disability, right?
Born that way and maybe that way for life.
When we went to get to the guest services
to get additional help for this child,
get him a pass that basically allowed us not to stand in line
that would be bothersome to his condition, right?
In many different ways, physically and mentally.
They put these people, the parents of this child,
through a 400 question test.
And then they categorized his disability as like level one,
you can go straight on the ride.
Level two, here's a pass, you give it to somebody,
and then you come back an hour later,
and then they let you on the right.
And then level three is, you know,
you probably aren't disabled,
you're probably just telling us that.
So here's level three.
Good luck, good luck, ma'am.
But what happens is, is that what happens is,
the people who root around the system
and try and find these little tricky ways to figure it all out.
I own it for everybody.
Rooted for everybody.
Yeah, yep.
So stop it.
I want my Disney mug and I want it now.
I need it.
I need it for $275.
This mug is better than the other mug because this mug has Mickey and that one has, uh, whoever.
Paw Patrol.
You know, see people standing in line for Paw Patrol shit, do you? No.
Because guess what? No, no one created scarcity on Paw Patrol.
You can literally buy 75 pencils made in China for a dollar 50 of Paw Patrol.
If that, if that had Mickey Mouse on it, you'd be paying $2,000 for those 75 pencils.
And it would be stuck in some 40 year old man's bedroom where he'd be displaying them in a gas case
People are fucking insane
You do love your Disney do the other day we were talking about Frank
I just want that sword to work. I mean I really yeah, here's another example of a $300 piece of shit that I bought
Light saber lights Light saber.
That'll never work for any reason.
You can only buy the Kiber Crystal down into a thing.
As you'll, a Crystal has to be the key to-
The Kiber Crystal.
If this is in the biggest sham shit you've ever seen in your entire life.
The Kiber Crystal is basically a double D battery.
It's a little bit bigger than ever got their double D battery.
So you have to buy it for Disney for $150
My chiver crystal broke the day that I got it and you have to wait in line seven hours to talk to anybody about it
Everybody else's hyper fucking crystal is broken
It's such a shame if we could get that thing working that would be cool
It would be cool. Yeah, if we get it working we'll show you but you know
I say this all is as a very big Disney fan.
I am like going to Walt Disney World.
What can I say?
Right?
I just don't like when they rip me off for 350.
Although I will say that the-
You have a proudly displayed there on the wall.
Yeah, it's my father and law put it up there.
I'm like, I am in my 40s.
Can you please put up the Pearl Jam posters?
Yes.
Yes.
Will you please proudly up the Pearl Jam posters? Yes. Will you please proudly display my Pearl Jam posters from the concerts I never went to, but entirely too much money online to buy.
Oh God.
I thought these were going to appreciate in value.
Maybe they have, I don't know, but not by much.
Yeah.
I'm bad at this.
I told you.
Dick Tracy Collection Pearl Jam posters, Kyver crystals, I've lost money on it all.
Real estate.
You want me, if you need to lose money in investing, call me up.
Yes.

This episode is sponsored in part by Squatty Potty. Not very often are you going to hear
a commercial about your poop, but this is it. Squatty Potty is a bathroom utensil that goes
under your feet and around your toilet to put you
in a natural, crouching position every time you go number two.
And I swear for many years, me and most of my family members have been using the squatty
potty to improve our health and improve our poops.
Every morning I put my feet up on the squatty potty.
It raises my feet about a foot and a half to two feet toward my chest as if I'm squatting
without actually squatting. I get to sit on my own toilet and I get to put my
body in a better position to let everything flow naturally downwards.
Like gravity do the work. Don't push yourself. That leads to health problems.
And even though it takes a couple times to get used to, I promise once you poop
with your squatty potty you won't ever want to go back. I've given them as birthday
gifts, I've given them as Christmas gifts, I have given them as gift gifts for absolutely
no reason whatsoever, except I care about my friends and family's poop. Nine years going

Hey, TCB family members, gotta let you know
that this episode is sponsored in part by quip and get quip.com.
When I was in grade school,
I had a horrible experience with a pediatric dentist.
It scared me away from going to dentists
once I got out of my house.
So from the time when I was like 17 years old to 23 or 24, but basically I didn't go to
the dentist for like five or six years.
When I finally made it back to a dentist I felt comfortable with, I had to have a bunch
of dental work done.
I swore from that moment on that I would never again sit in a chair for hours at a time.
My dental care is meticulous.
I love my dental care routine.
I floss and I brush at least twice a day
and getquip.com is helping people all around the world
do just that.

But one person who does know how to make money is Frankie B.
Oh, of course he does.
Why would you like that, Segway?
These things like an expert and I do like that.
Well, he claims he's an expert in many things.
And all things, basically just all things.
Chrissy and I the other day, we're excited.
This was the last episode.
We were super excited because Frankie B had come out
with a new video for the first time in many months.
Now there's like three new videos.
He's just like all of a sudden he's made like a,
it's a comeback, right?
Frankie B's been coming back on.
It's a comeback, yeah.
Come back to all 3,000 subscribers.
I got 400 views.
I shouldn't be talking.
I know, right.
I got seven views.
We used to get a lot of views on our YouTube channel
and all of a sudden it just, I think YouTube is probably figured out
that our content is not appropriate for anybody.
So Chrissy and I got excited.
If you've ever watched the show, this is your first time listening to the show.
I say watch.
You can watch on YouTube.
Welcome.
Welcome.
Hello and welcome.
My name is Brian Green.
This is Chrissy Huddling.
And happy.
This will be the best way to waste an hour of your entire life.
An hour you'll never get back, I might mind you.
So, think carefully.
Chrissy and I have found a man named Frank Bernardo,
probably way back when we started the show.
I'd probably say,
It's been a long time.
Yeah, like episode number 20 or 30.
We're into the hundreds now, right? So episode number 20 or 30, we're into the hundreds now, right?
So episode number 20 or 30,
we found a guy named Frank Bernardo
who considers himself an expert
in all things fun, fitness, fashion, lifestyle.
He's apparently a hair consultant,
now he's a hair salon consultant.
Whatever he wants to talk about,
what he ends up mainly talking about is working out
and women and how they cheat on men.
But every once in a while,
he pops up with a new video about a different subject.
I was very excited because Frank went away for a little while,
maybe to some of our listeners delight,
maybe to some of their chagrin.
There's a big debate in the TCB community
about whether or not Frankie B is good for the show
or bad for the show.
But Chrissy and I don't give a shit
because we like laughing at this.
It's too good to pass out.
It's just too good to pass out. So if you're one of those, Frankie B haters
then, you know, turn it off. Here it comes. So don't turn it off. We need the money.
So the other day, Frankie B after a six month hiatus pops up back in my feed and he is talking
about the business opportunity of a lifetime. Now to catch you up to speed, what is Frankie talking about?
We aren't entirely sure what Frankie is talking about.
And he didn't explain it, really.
And I guarantee he's not going to wrap it up nicely and neatly in a package here.
Another indicator that you're listening to, that you're, that you're onto a Frankie B
video is that he does no explaining that makes any sense whatsoever.
He's circular talks like nobody I've ever ever seen.
He will literally talk.
But he says it in a loud voice and he drives a car.
He drives a car at the beginning of his videos. He slicks back his hair, pops up out of a
body of water, and then considers himself the expert.
Frankie B. You can go back and listen to the last episode.
Frankie B told us that 21 years ago,
he came up with the concept of building a salon
where then he rented out the chairs
to independent contracting, contracted.
Yeah.
Light bulb.
Yeah.
Mine blown.
Mine blown.
Chrissy and I had thought this has been around since the 60s
We didn't know it was literally developed in 2001 by Frankie
Because it wasn't developed in 2001 by Frankie, but don't let the truth get in the way of a good story
Frankie was going on to explain to I guess the viewers who were interested in his concept called salon suite
We don't know where the tea went, but it's Salon Sweet. Drop the tea. He was going on to explain how he can make you a verified millionaire, basically.
You can go on vacations every month with your family. Yeah, because once you get this,
once you tap in to Frankie, because rather than rent a small space in a strip mall to open your,
in a nice strip mall to open your salon, Frankie is encouraging you to build your
own standalone loan building for less than it takes to rent a small space out there.
That's mind blown number two.
Yeah.
Mind blown number three.
Yeah.
Advantage Frankie. It runs itself. He is so funny. Yeah. Mine bow number three. Yeah. Advantage Frankie.
It runs itself.
Just ready.
He cuts the ribbon.
Mailbox money.
You make money.
That's right.
Mailbox money.
And man, are you gonna be happy when you get this?
Two to three hundred dollar checks a month.
To pay for five thousand dollars worth of expenses.
You'll be losing money well into the future with Frankie Bees.
House of cards, the lawns, sweets, advantage, Frankie Be.
Disadvantage, franchise, making money, disadvantage, franchise,
losing money with your brand new building that makes no sense.
Advantage, Frankie. I'm sad.
Thumbs up.
So we didn't quite get through the video last one.
I thought we promised you that we would do
a little more homework on exactly what this business was
because we couldn't find it anywhere.
Hold on one second.
Hi, I actually did some research online
and I got to the bottom of what his business is.
I actually found a website.
Yeah, now first of all, it's very hard to find.
You actually have to put in.
He's so mesmerizing too on his videos
that it makes you just,
I want to get a group of girls together.
We're going to pop some wine open.
That's right.
Group of guys.
Group of guys, group of girls.
Pop some wine open.
Watch these videos and figure out.
Good luck on the make money with Frankie B.
And Frankie B has an opportunity that's once in a lifetime,
guaranteed to make you money, save you hundreds of thousands of dollars from all those other franchise ideas.
This is the hottest franchise idea during the pandemic that has ever been because everyone's going out to get a haircut.
Salons are gangbusters during the pandemic.
Exactly what you want to do during a raging pandemic is touch other people's hair and faces.
And breathe right into the salon.
That's right.
Yeah, they want them as close to your face as possible.
No mask.
It's like a vaccine.
You get a haircut.
Only your hair looks better afterwards.
So I found a website for Frankie B's business for Frankie B's House of Cards.
So long, sweet.
The website tells, gives you just about as much information as this video does.
It's literally 28 paragraphs, four different pages, 28 paragraphs, zero pictures, zero relevant
information, but he does spell out a little bit about what he's going to give you.
He's going to give you Frankie B's standard operating procedure handbook.
He's going to give you architectural consultation.
He's going to give you site,
like if you need to find a site
and actual site to put your brand new box,
where it's gonna run itself and make money,
it'll help you do that.
He'll help you with finding picking out the furniture
and the tools and the utensils that hairdressers need.
And not that you'll need it.
It actually says this on the website.
Not that you'll need it, but ongoing support.
Not that you'll need it.
You won't even need it.
You won't need it.
Once you've cut the ribbon, you're good as go.
Take off and go to Florida.
So the business does it and take off and go to Florida.
We're afraid. go to Mexico.
We're Frankie has been hiding for the last six months.
Probably one of his clients money.
I'm down here scoping out brand new sites for your salon.
Even Nico and Blue are into it.
Even Nico and Blue know it's bullshit.
And you'll sniff it out. Even Nico and Blue know it's bullshit. No, that's a like an episode of Nico and Blue pop their heads in the door.
That's Nico by the way, not the loud one, that's actually Nico.
Nico's an old man, he doesn't know what he's barking at.
He just gets a whiff that something's going on, and he starts barking.
He gets a whiff for himself, yeah.
He's like,
someone's dying.
Oh, it's me.
Oh, no, what's that smell?
It's me.
Nico comes running in the door the other day.
Nico never runs.
Nico doesn't run.
Nico trots because Nico's bones are brittle, right? But Nico comes running up the stairs on the deck yesterday and comes running in the door
and he's doing like this spin around, right? And when he does that spin around, guess what,
guess what? Shit just flies out of his ass. It was the most disgusting thing ever. I had to pick up the shit out of his ass.
Gramps.
Okay, here we go.
Are we ready to get into Frankie B parts?
I'm always ready.
Okay, where we left off last time,
as Frankie was talking about the advantages
and disadvantages of using Frankie B or the salon.
Let's get back into it.
For the franchise.
Here's Frankie B's, well, I don't send a lifetime opportunity.
Frankie Bees, Frank Bernardo's,
House of Cards, it's a long suite.
This is a banished number four.
It's cookie cutter design.
Now, if you go to franchise,
you're stuck with everything that they want to put in that building.
And in case you haven't noticed,
most of their buildings, they're out of style.
They don't evolve.
They've had the same design,
the same footprint, the same color palette year after year. We're going back.
Wait, how do you change the footprint of the building? Or are you just supposed to
redecorate every single year? That's right. How would anyone with Frankie B's Tinketoy's
construction, you can change the footprint on the fly.
Don't like a box, change it into a triangle.
What are you talking about Frankie?
Yeah.
We are stuck with their cookie-kitter design.
With Frankie B, you're stuck with me.
Asking you for a check every five days.
Back as far as 10 years, they don't change.
So if you go into franchise,
you open up a building, you're out of style.
And if you go into franchise,
that's conducive to the West,
let's just say Arizona.
What works in Arizona,
it's not gonna work in Chicago,
it's not gonna work in New York,
and it's definitely not gonna work in Florida.
So, wait, why isn't it definitely gonna work in Florida?
I don't know what's going on.
Well, I mean, does it Franky don't like that Santa Fe style?
Yeah.
It's popular out there, is that?
Franky lives in Chicago.
I can almost guarantee that from his accent that he's a Chicago boy, right?
Yeah.
Because that accent is very familiar to me.
It's like every human being that I grew up with.
But I don't really get why it matters.
What does, I mean, I understand like you could have a little,
you know, put palm trees, fake palm trees down in the Florida one,
or maybe you...
Yeah, I would think you could customize.
Yeah, put a snow shovel.
Yeah, but...
A ox head.
Yeah, but you don't think the franchise thought about that?
Like a...
We're gonna put nothing but mousseheads and ski launch shit
down in Key West.
Advantage franchise.
Really? I mean, what does it matter?
It doesn't matter.
Do you pick your salon based on the motif?
No.
It's probably...
It's a digital atmosphere.
Yeah, you want it to be clean and nice
and you want the people to be pleasant but you don't really give a shit whether or not it's probably. Yeah, you wanted to be clean and nice and you want the people
to be pleasant, but you don't really give a shit whether or not it's Santa Fe or. No,
you want your hair to look good. Yeah, you want your hair to look good. I mean, I kind
of understand this one, but I highly, I highly doubt that very well to do franchises are
not thinking about this also. Correct. I realize when you walk into a supercuts, you're probably
getting the same thing around the country, but when you walk into a super cuts you're probably getting the same thing around the country
But when you walk into a McDonald's you're getting the same thing around the country too and it costs more to get a fucking happy meal in
Air cut and super cuts. So why would you put up a building? Let's just say in Chicago that works in Arizona
You think someone a Silas or a professional a Silas
Silas or a professor a Silas?
Silas I know he's making all the tea silence. Yeah, why why can't he just stop and say the tea silence?
Because he says teas and other words that he says but yeah, yeah, yeah
He's I'm gonna imagine maybe this is like a speech impediment type thing like you know
He just has never learned how to say his teas correctly
So I don't want to make too much fun of that because I also had a speech impediment as a child and it's no fun when you're trying to figure it out.
I instead of saying Laura, I say la la.
Ah, it's like tongue's lazy.
La la.
La la.
La la.
That's a little anesthetician.
They walk into your building.
They don't want to feel like they're in the West.
They want to feel like they're in Chicago.
What, what, what?
What? Oh, that's bad. Yeah. They don't really feel like they're in Chicago. What, what, what? I don't know.
Oh, that's...
Yeah, they don't really get in the West.
They don't want to feel like they're warm.
Whoa, where am I?
Whoa.
What the fuck are these tropical colors?
They're in a ramp.
You were so right.
I had no idea what it was like to be in a building.
I'm totally disoriented.
I walked outside, I had my bikini on.
It was the middle of Chicago.
Winter, it was crazy, crazy.
Very rarely do I forget what part of the country I am in,
but it's happened before.
Different styles, professionals, they're very eccentric.
They're very unique.
They want what they want. If you think that you got them in there because of your design, you didn't.
Well then why does this matter?
This is maddening. This is fucking maddening.
You just argue to point that then you argue to get.
Yes.
Frankie, you're making no sense. You're making no sense. Done.
You don't want the same cookie cutter design time
after time after time.
However, if you think the stylus came in
because of the design, you're wrong.
So it really doesn't matter.
So the advantage Frankie Beer did manage,
I'm not really sure.
Advantage somebody.
Got him in there because there's no other
slime suites in the area.
That's their only choice.
But if someone opens up next to you that has the design that they like, the motif, the style, the possess, the wow factor,
when they walk in the dorm, guess what? They're going to leave you. They're going to leave you in a New York second.
What? What? That is great!
I sounded like you was going towards.
I don't understand.
Yes, that's what you want.
You want a wow.
Yeah, you want a wow.
Then you're going to leave you.
Yeah, I'm Frankie.
Oh, man, we're going to teach you, buddy.
We've got to teach you about your presentation styles
and so sharp, my friend.
Yeah.
You got to, did someone review these bullet points with you?
Did you have a person you could bounce this shit off of?
It's probably that girl from the first date.
Hi, I'm Frankie B.
And I'm here for our first date.
I'm just here having a drink by myself.
You are now your lucky day.
I'm Frankie B. Could you put your shirt on?
Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you had to look at my body.
Do you mind if I run this presentation by you real quick?
Yeah, sounds good. Get away from me.
Yeah, it sounds great. Turn that way.
Why don't you do me a favor? Record it on a voice note outside from your car and then come back in an hour or two.
Would you choose a salon suite over one of those
other cookie cutter designs?
I'm sorry, what's a salon suite?
To advantage franchise.
This is advantage number five.
It's location.
So when you go to franchise, they're gonna grant you
an exclusive territory.
That's exclusive to only you.
Do yourself a favor.
And this is one piece of advice that I'm gonna give you
and I'm not gonna charge you for.
So sweet of you, Frankie.
So sweet of you, Frankie.
That's so sweet of you.
Very advice, I'm very good.
I'm gonna give you some useless advice for 100% free.
This is the lifetime value of this advice is nothing.
And I'm gonna give it to you for free.
When they give you that exclusive territory and you think it's worth some
money, probably is probably.
But wouldn't you rather have Salon Sway right next door to another Salon Sway?
Yeah, and Pro Channel, that's right.
I do no exclusive territories.
And when I buy a piece of land,
I plan for more than one Salon Sway.
So the good news is you have other Salon Sway friends
around you.
Yeah, because, you know,
competition.
Yeah, nothing brings people to a salon,
like other salons exactly like the other salon.
There's a lot of people that need to get in the hair cut every day.
Come on, don't be, don't be so greedy.
You want to make money.
Come on, share the wealth.
Are you sighing on the dotted line?
Make sure the location that you want,
the location that you're interested in,
the location of your dreams is available
because once you sign,
it's not.
Are you sure it's available before you sign?
Before you sign.
What?
Before you sign any real estate contract,
make sure that it's available.
Yeah.
That's advice you can take to the bank
advantage free. I'm just giving you a little peek into the
window of my process on picking locations. But for my
property, I make sure that I'm talking to the owner. I do my
homework. I got burned one time. Yeah, more than once.
I don't know.
I'm still working through this.
I'm still working through the first seven salon sleeves.
Before you sign.
Like, how have you been getting to the point where you're going to sign?
I'm getting this.
It's not available. Yeah. Why would you buy a franchise when you have no clue where the location's going to be?
Why would you do that?
We're going to build you a Chick-fil-A,
that's your where yet,
but sign on the dotted line, $75,000.
By the way, Chick-fil-A.
I don't agree with any of their principles or policies.
Right, but if you wanna be a millionaire overnight,
get a Chick-fil-A.
They're very picky.
Extremely picky.
You have to work for them for like five years.
You have to have like a doctorate or something.
You do, yeah.
And then you have to go to their church.
But not just anyone can sign up.
No, but if you get yourself a franchise, even if you get one of those mall franchises,
you're making a fucking million dollars a year.
You want to know why?
Because let's put it this way.
Chick-fil-A is the Walt Disney World of fast food.
And McDonald's is like the six flags of fast food.
I'm just saying.
Yeah.
Do you think you're gonna get it?
And it's not available.
You're out of luck.
The franchise is gonna push you to an area.
You may not wanna work in,
but they're gonna tell you it's the next best area. It's perfect. Your business is going to boom there. Even if
you don't like it. And always remember one thing.
Man. We've got a location in the back of an old Philip 66 gas station on the corner of country road 36 and state highway 97
population 32 you're gonna make millions. We've done the market research you
can expect at least three customers a month. Oh my God. Jim's building a new chicken check down the street.
It's gonna bring in three new jobs.
We're ready for you.
Oh.
Where are Frankie's?
What I couldn't get to the bottom of is exactly where any of these locations are.
He names his competitors locations, but he does not name his own locations.
Also, too, he's talking about a franchise pushing you to wherever they want to go. Well,
they have billions of dollars.
Franchises have billions of dollars behind.
Yes.
Where they're going to allow their name to even go into.
They're not going to push you on country roads.
Take that in the back of the field.
No, they don't do that.
Yeah.
The franchise only makes money if you may money because they take a part of your
gross profit or at least that's how it usually works.
Not with Frankie.
Not with Frankie.
You can choose the location you're dreams.
Be sure it's available.
Yeah.
It's not.
It's not.
You pay me one flat upfront fee and then $70,000 a year in perpetuity, regardless of your location.
It's a deal you can't refuse.
I'll help you find the perfect location.
Your location of your dream.
Yeah, the only way he's getting this done cheaper
than actually buying a franchise
is if he's buying a location in the back of the Philip 66
on state road seven in highway 32.
That's the only way you want to know why,
because land is expensive.
Yeah.
With a franchise, that area is only exclusive to you
if another person comes and works the same franchise
that you're working with.
If another franchise comes in from a different company
or an individual, let's say an individual hires me.
I'm going to open up right down the street from you,
and I'm gonna take all your business,
and you have no control over that.
So don't get caught up with these...
That's what I'm gonna do, that's the plan.
Yeah.
I'm gonna follow these franchises around
to write next door and take all of this.
Territories to help control business flow,
disadvantage franchise,
putting so long suites literally on top of each other advantage Frankie B.
What he's basically saying is it's gonna happen anyway I might as well be the
one it's makes no sense because of whatever you get the thing if you see a
Bob steel you're not gonna walk into it but if you see a Frankie B's house of
cards salon sweet you're you're liable to go into it.
It makes no logical sense, Frankie.
I'm sorry.
You need to be a consultant for one of these franchises.
Yeah, just consult.
Just consult.
Yeah, just, yeah, don't try and convince people.
Don't try and convince people a good opportunity
is not a good opportunity.
That's a bad business model.
You know all those chickflades making a lot of money? Fuck that. Burger King's the bad business model. You know all those chick-flames making a lot of money?
Fuck that.
Burger King's the way to go.
Not even Burger King.
I mean, this is a brand new thing.
That's right.
It's Frankie Bees.
Just start a brand new,
nobody's ever heard of it ever.
That's right.
You know that combo pizza,
Taco Bell.
Taco Bell.
That's the way to go. That's what you want. Just start brand new. That's right. You know the combo pizza, Taco Bell. Taco Bell.
That's the way to go. That's what you want. Start brand new. That's right.
Dunkin' donuts and China Walk.
Those two together are match made niven.
Who doesn't want a sugary donut after they eat us?
Salty Pylon Noodles.
Franchises and their exclusive area.
There's no such thing as exclusive areas. Remember I've been doing this for 21 years
Right put up my what were you doing before that is my question?
I really wanted to know because you got to be in your 60s
Also, he's not been doing this for 21 years. He just started this. Yeah, he was not doing this
Where where is locations? What is he we don't know't know. He doesn't, he doesn't say,
he doesn't say where he was looking. He never references any of his past jobs, except for one.
Remember, he, he said he showed a picture on, and I actually watched the video. So I saw the picture.
He opened one salon suite, apparently. So we, oh, with the three, the three styles, because the
other three weren't available. Where were they on opening day?
I mean, you've been your first day on the job and your brand new salon suite. Don't you
think you'd show what helps you up? Where were you? Maybe you weren't ever there in the
first place. I don't know because they weren't yet available because they never showed up to work.
know because they weren't yet available because they never showed up to work. First building, do you know that there are six salon suites within a mile from me? Six
different companies within a mile. Everything's flooded. Everything is just so
much competition there and that's gonna happen to you. Someone's coming. So when
you put up that, so what is the argument for actually doing this I don't
know what are you talking about I can't tell why would you do this I don't know if the market is
flooded and everybody's everywhere and it's an opportunity that's just saturated to the gills
why am I hiring you to put me in the middle of that saturation I yeah now I think he is convincing
people to go out to the country get paid a piece land, the conveyorable. And just retire there.
Together we'll find the worst location possible
advantage, Frankie B.
Building.
Building.
No one's around.
No one.
We want somewhere where no one's around.
Literally no customers, nothing.
Not even a gas station so they can fill up their card
and get to you
That's how you build from the ground up
It's true innovation if you build it they will come proven he's proven to do this for 21 years
That's right for 21 years of my 64 years on earth. This is what I've been doing. What were you doing for the other 42?
Where were you Maybe I don't want to know. No. It better be a building that's phenomenal
and is second to none.
Otherwise, you're gonna risk your investment.
You're gonna have vacancies.
So the sixth and final disadvantage,
I wanna go over with you.
And this one is very, very important.
And as a businessman, as an entrepreneur,
this one, this one hits me really, really hard.
He's me writing the hard. He's me writing the heart.
This one hits me right in the heart.
You're bound to lose money.
This one really got to hit me in the heart because, you know,
in a business man, I'm just a new one.
It basically keeps me from making money.
And it is, you're bound to lose money, either way you go.
So call me up right now for that life business of a lifetime.
What is number six? I got to build up anticipation. Okay, all right. Yeah, I'm gonna do a show here.
It's called control. The name of the game when you open up a business, the luxury is having control to do what you want, how you want,
whenever you want, whatever you want to do, how you want to decorate, how you want to
furnish your, which day is boner to's day?
You got a taco and a boner and you put those together and it's a really interesting day
around the suite. Let me tell you that
Now you got to lower up for that one
You're live to get people pissed off, but I continue the tradition to this day in my own house
I get one of those or I get the ortegos off shelves is what I do
You want a real surprise when you bite into that taco?
Hey now just a bit of Frankie B.
A bit of Frankie P if you know what I mean.
A bit of Frankie P if you know what I mean.
Oh my God.
The design that that's the power of being in business
for yourself, why would you want control from a franchise?
You know what this is like? It's like working for someone else. Why would you want control from a franchise?
You know what this is like? It's like working for someone else.
What's this?
Don't say.
Don't say what are you talking about, Frankie?
Lots of people work for other people
and it works out just fine.
Yeah, most people work for other people.
Most people work for other people,
at least at some point in their life.
Yes.
And it works out just fine.
And all of this sounds fantastic, Frankie. people work for other people, at least at some point in their life. Yes. Yeah. And it works out just well.
And all of this sounds fantastic, Frankie.
Yes.
Do I want to just go open up a salon where I'm renting out chairs and the building's running
itself, where the middle of the beautiful country down by the river.
Yeah, down by the river.
I'm decorating however I would like.
All of this sounds fantastic if I have unlimited amounts of cash.
That's right. I mean, I could do anything I want then.
Yeah.
I'm full control.
Listen, why didn't I go with the proven track record?
Rather than some wild stranger that as so far, yet to give me one indication that he
knows what he's talking about.
Frankie B's brand new ID, Frankie idea, Frankie B's house of cards, salon canoes.
It's a long canoe.
Why do people want to, you want to get your hair done, not a canoe?
Traveling down a glass floor rapid, that's where people want to get their hair done.
They're extension.
I've made this idea up 21 years ago.
They're unique and eccentric.
When I see, we, I go into business. I don't want
anybody telling me what to do. It's my business. But if you go to franchise, it's not yours.
It's theirs. Because you can't do anything. Anything you want to do, it's a phone call mr franchise can I do this in
night like mr franchise yes I'd like to hire Frankie B as a consultant I don't
think so mr franchise says no.
Mr. franchise, we'd like to have boner Thursday around the office.
Mr. franchise approves.
Please write a standard operating procedure for all other franchisees, send us photographs and let it be done.
I mean, come on, Frankie.
There's a reason why they put these processes in place.
Do you think McDonald's would be the same company?
Everybody could just do what the fuck they wanted to do?
I worked to McDonald's.
Everybody could do what they wanted to do.
Your burger would have been late, but Jesus Christ LSD half the time.
I mean, come on.
Oh my God.
You, uh, you're missing the point, but you're missing the whole point.
For some of the time, if it's not in their books and their outline, it's a no.
You have no control here being in business because freedom.
We go to franchise.
You have no freedom. You're under control.
You're under their thumb. You always got that pressure. That's the way to do business.
All right. I just wonder who's under who's stopped. First of all, if you actually buy into a franchise, you know what you're doing.
It's not like you were forced to slave labor.
You're under somebody's control with
the chain. You know the drill.
You know the drill.
You're buying into somebody else's proven method.
That's right. That's why they are selling a franchise.
Yeah. It's because they figured out how to crack the code of making money and stamping it
out across the country or the territory or region. Replicating it.
Yes.
And so they have a proven track record. Now, every one of them make money, of course not.
Either of us, every business I can guarantee every one of your salon's
sui-zang cracking a million dollars a year, either.
It doesn't make any sense.
Now, I'm not saying the franchise model
is the right model for every business.
Sure.
But if you, what you're trying to convince people,
why don't you just try and convince people
to use you as a consultant rather than trying
to convince them not to use the franchise?
Because to me, everything you've told us
makes me want to run to the franchise
Immediately I'm on my way to the franchise. Give me the phone number at the end of this presentation
Frankie scared me he does that that's why mr.anchise is here to help you make millions of dollars
with our proven track record of success. Can I, can I, can I, can I, can I, can I, can I, can I
do you mind if I feed everybody chili bean tacos tacos the way as they walk in the door for you know farting Fridays
That idea not in the standard operating procedure
request denied
But I want to do what I want to do
Your idiot
That's why we have the book
To make sure idiots don't fuck shit up
You're a moron
You're a moron bill that's why we keep an eye on you
That's why you pay us money to send our inspectors in monthly
Make sure you do not have ideas like,
farting Friday.
Ha ha ha ha.
Ha ha ha.
Bill, what are you thinking?
Ha ha ha ha ha.
Ha ha ha ha.
This is almost as good as we win today'ss or anybody can be wherever they want to.
The answer is no.
But if that was a Frankie song, please.
Go ahead, go over to Frankie song on the sweet.
Use your wee wee over at the sweet sweet
I don't know if you've noticed but Frankie lives in a college door
Frankie's daughter graduated from high school in 2007 and he lived there ever since
But feel free Mr. Franchise approves a request to build this long sweet
Oh my god
Bill, let me do you the favor and say no to all additional requests you think of
Consider this a general no
Ah, man, I should have gone cranky these salon sweeps
That should be a commercially put down makes some disembodied head
Just like flying around
She's like flying around
Salon sweets consulting services from house of salons you want control?
Why so many names from how simsulans comes how simsulans consulting services
Why don't you just call it consulting service? I don't understand it.
No, yeah.
It's not well thought out.
I got a great idea for the name of a business.
From Salons, House of Salons comes House of Salons, House of Salons, consulting services
for House of Salons, Salons, sweet.
It's easy, it's catchy.
I'm going to make it into a bunk bumper
sticker. I work for House of Salon, House of Salon, House of Salon, my House of
Salon Scouts are sweet. House of Salon. House of Salon.
You want control of your life? You want control of your business? You want your
freedom? There's an alternative out there from franchising. It's called House of
Salon Salon Sweet Consulting Services. It's called House of Salons, Salons
Sweet Consulting Services. It's freedom for life. I guess you're thinking a little bit. Are
you wondering, oh, you got me thinking a lot, Frankie. You got these wheels started.
I'm thinking a little bit. Yeah, I'm thinking a lot. I'm thinking I never want to hear
another business opportunity from you again.
I mean, what exactly is the best choice?
Is it house to salon, salon, suite consulting services, or is it a franchise?
Well, we've all heard the phrase, the biggest no brainer on earth.
Well, if you choose my company, you know, folks, it will be the biggest biggest no brainer
on the history of earth is like that mortgage guy.
It's the biggest no brainer on the history of earth and the history of earth. But he said on the history of Earth is like that mortgage guy. It's the biggest no-brainer on the history of Earth
and the history of Earth.
But he said on the history of Earth.
I'm literally no-brainer standing on a book
called the history of Earth.
I don't get it, but whatever.
The biggest no-brainer on Earth,
I've got so many different advantages.
So many better advantages. I've got so many ideas. I know, I've got so many different advantages, so many better advantages. I've got so many
ideas. I've got all of this. I've been feeling around.
We're all in around. Yeah. You know how hard it is to spread butter on toast? I use the
palm of my hand. You work so much better. You want ideas like this and you're salon
called Frankie B over a franchise. I could be here for hours, telling you all about them. Oh, I
think this video, we're gonna hit on a few of the key points. The first one is
experience. You know, if you hire a company without experience, it's a debt
trap in this business. What a experience to see him. Yeah, the one salon with three stylists that showed up.
The other three could even be bothered to show up on opening day.
This is like the owner was happy.
Probably spend a million extra dollars.
They're like, Jesus, what did I get myself into?
I want to control.
I want to control over everything. Okay, let's just be clear.
For the first point that he's about to make, which I'm sure none of them will make any
sense, but the first one is experience. Experience. Now he doesn't seem to have any in the
franchise. Yeah, it's been doing this for more than 21 years.
Supercuts has been around the the 80s.
Yeah.
Higher a company that can successfully navigate you through
the entire process.
Start to finish ribbon cutting.
That's the key to success.
Start to finish ribbon cutting.
Like this.
Just cut that ribbon.
Boom. You don't mind if I use my own shears, do you? I had these made specially for this occasion. cutting like this. Just cut that ribbon and boom.
You don't mind if I use my own shares, do you?
I had these made specially for this occasion.
There's square.
Look.
Start to bottom ribbon cutting.
Top to bottom from beginning to end ribbon cutting
because that's the business end.
That's right.
The magic is done.
The magic happens building the actual salon suite.
Once you open it, forget about it.
You're good.
Don't worry about me.
I'm outta here.
If you hire a franchise, chances are,
you're gonna be working with employees
that have only worked there two months, six months,
maybe a year.
They only know what their boss is.
You just built the fucking building.
They're also only gonna be working.
When you build Frankie B's Asim Sons,
we literally ship in people that have been working
at your location for many years.
It's time travel, it's complicated.
I don't wanna get into it.
I don't wanna talk about the details here on this video.
I'm gonna be working with people that just started out.
Yeah, well, but taught them they only know
it's in their handbook.
There's no personal one-on-one that you're gonna get with the owner,
the one with the experience, like you're gonna get with me.
If you want to put your faith, your
hard-earned money in the hands of a company with the same footprint, the same design, the
same stale ideas that they've had for the last 10 to 15 years.
The same millions of dollars they've been making for the same 15 years. If you really want
to make money like all those other large companies,
well then fine, go ahead, you're not for me.
Then put down this presentation right away.
If you're into losing hundreds of thousands of dollars before the door even opens,
Frankie B's got you covered.
There's probably a few people I would imagine that watch this video.
They're
like, wow, Frankie Bees the way to go. Yeah, because you know, because they're just
some kind of buy-and-the friends. I don't want to buy into that franchise model. He clearly
pointed out all the flaws in the franchise model. When you open your doors, you're out of style.
Go ahead. You're gonna suffer on that.
The key and success in this business
is the experience, fresh ideas.
Someone who thinks outside the box, not in a handbook.
Another monster advantage I have in...
Not a handbook, not if you got a standard operating procedure.
Throw that handbook out the window. Wait, I have to make a
shit up as we go here. Yeah, that's right. Wait, I've got
some processes. You have a pen. It's part of my consulting
magic. What if we swept up every 48 to 56 hours? What do
you think? Sounds like I did just come out all day long. I
don't even know. I'm got more of those game, bro.
I'm like a savant. I'm like a salon savant.
I got way more than those come from.
What about a machine that blows hot air and dries people's hair off?
About this 20 years ago.
Yep.
What about buying our shit at Walmart instead of at Bob's Steel?
No, not a good idea.
Okay, well, you know there's a few stinkers in the group. This is probably... about buying our shit at Walmart instead of at Bob's deal. No, not a good idea.
Okay, well, you know, there's a few stinkers in the group.
This is probably, this is probably gonna open your eyes.
Does this open your eyes?
I'm gonna save you hundreds of thousands of dollars.
You know what this money belongs?
I literally cannot close my eyes.
I can't.
Frankie. literally cannot close my eyes. Frankie, it's a Mr. franchise.
It does in cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to open up a supercodes.
I don't know where you're getting your numbers, but Mr. franchise says incorrect.
you're getting your numbers but Mr. franchise says incorrect. Belongs in your packet. Now that right there is $4,000. If you go to
franchise and you open up a bigger building, you're going to be paying $4,000
a month in royalty fees for the rest of your life or for as long as you're in
business with that company. How does that make you feel?
I got so many better things that we can do with that money, like opening up some more
salon suites. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha building out of aluminum foil? You got extra 4K?
Yeah, you got extra 4K.
So let's go get huge building,
put up a style of some there, no invocation.
Yeah, do a ribbon counting.
Let's go get some Saran wrap and toothpicks.
That wall, Mark, we're gonna open 12 of these babies.
Yeah.
Folding chairs on sale now, now dollar general. Let's go. Four thousand. Four thousand dollars. Oh my God. That's only forty eight thousand dollars a year by the way. To actually Then given it every month to a franchise month one four grand month two
A grand month three
17 grand. Oh wait, no, let me go calculate around. We're gonna do the big numbers
We're getting into the double digits. That's everything's big complicated. Hey 12 grand. You see how this adds up
What can you do with that money?
You see how this adds up? What can you do with that money?
Do you see how that's it?
Do you?
Do you, are you understanding?
How much are your services?
So it's 48 grand a year for to get your name on the front door
and actually get people who know what they're doing in there.
Or how much are you?
I wonder how much his service is really hard.
We've got to reach out.
Maybe, yeah, we do. Okay, that's what I'm gonna hard. We've got to reach out. Maybe, yeah, we do.
Okay, that's what I'm gonna do.
We have to.
I will.
And what I really like is when I drive by my buildings,
and I see my name on the door, I love it.
I'm proud.
I feel good.
I smile.
What do you want that?
What do you want your name on the door?
You know, franchise is say,
you need your brand to be successful.
No, you don't.
I'm the alternative to that garbage that rhetoric.
I'm the alternative.
I know I was gonna save you hundreds of thousands of dollars.
It always comes back to Frankie.
Always, always, always. no matter what the situation.
Yeah, no matter what he's talking about it.
It doesn't matter.
He can't objectively speak about anything.
It's always about Frankie.
He's got a God complex.
I'm the one.
I'm the guy.
I'm the alter.
I want to drive around and see my name.
That's right.
I'm the one who's going to brand your building brand you brand the inside the outside
Everything about it
Yeah, what I haven't told you yet is that you're actually gonna have to put my name all over the front door
Yeah, it doesn't quite specify.
But I have a raging suspicion as well as a hard on.
That Frankie B is gonna make you put the name on the door.
Frank Bernard Sonswee.
That's Sonswee, Tows of Cards.
All right, well listen, we almost got to the end of it,
but this is too much fun.
We have too much fun with this stuff.
So we'll leave it for there right now
and then we'll get back to Frankie B
at some point in the future.
We're gonna reach out.
We're gonna reach out.
I'm gonna reach out and see if I can get additional information
on Frankie B and I'll let you know.
I wish, maybe that's the way I get him on the phone.
Maybe that's the way we actually get him to talk to us
about this stuff, unsuspecting, but I have a feeling
if he hasn't already, once he finds out what we're actually doing,
we're gonna have to go on to an alias.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Maybe I'll have Astrid call.
I was gonna have Patrick or somebody else.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We'll figure out a way to get it.
Or maybe we'll have Big Will the Champ or something.
Oh, Big Will.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Big Will would do it.
And he's up in New York, so.
So they speak the same language.
I don't know. They can talk about design in New York. I guess speak the same language. I don't know. Think you talk about
design in New York, I guess. I'm not really sure. We want to thank everybody who listens.
