You know, so you're telling me there's a chance? Well, look, if anybody says anything, like, the bald ones are nice, okay? There's a theory there. You see right here, these houses are relatively new, correct? Yeah, these things right here behind them, we're behind the screens, we're getting all of the mud that's causing all of the sills to pop, to pop off the frame. And then it messes up the windows and causes them to go opaque. Really, really simple. We do best price, best deal. Do you want to walk with us or you just want to meet us around back? Yeah, okay. 1, 2, 3, 4. Yeah, we'll meet you around back. Yeah, not watching football? No, no, no, we're just about to work. Sanjay, I'll meet you around back, okay? Okay, so we got 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Send me an email. Listen, I have a better idea. I will go ahead because I am in training right now. I'm gonna ask my boss if this is okay. Is it okay? Yeah, yeah. Okay, listen, he's the boss, the guy with the beard. Yeah, he shaved all of our heads bald. Yeah. Okay, because we didn't make quota. Instead of doing that first one for the $505, I'm just gonna level with you. No, I know, but look, it would go down to $405. I'm gonna get his permission. I'm gonna do the first one today for just $305. That's it. Listen, listen, I'm not going to do it today. Send me an email. If discount or no discount, it's no discount. Yeah, it's fine. So I'll look into it and let you know. If you don't sign up, they're going to shave my head again. Yeah, no problem. It's good, you will look smart. Come on, man. Okay, take care. When you find somebody from India, you need to ask if they're from north or south. If they're from South India, they speak Telugu. And one really funny phrase is happy gaon dumawa, which means stay happy, dude. And then krutik netelo is just a phrase that they use. For like a goodbye or a hello. And your name, sir? TJ. TJ, pleasure to meet you, man. Nice to meet you. What's your name? Austin. Austin, okay. I take care of a lot of clients from India out here. What part are you from? I'm from India. What part? Southern part of India, Hyderabad. Ah, happy gowndumawa. Yeah, thank you. Krutik netalu. Yeah? Thank you. So we just do the windows out here. I do best price, okay? Okay, thank you. Now what I'll do is instead of doing— normally the first one is 465. After that, I come out for you every 3 months, really, really affordable, just $315, okay? Okay. Um, every time we come out. Um, what is a good phone number for you, sir? 612. 612. So if you were to call the office any other day, it's full price. Okay. But I'm just doing best price for you today. I'm just watching a football game, England versus— enjoying that match. I just don't want to, you know, just quickly sign up something, miss my match. Listen, it's tied at 0-0. That's good. I agree. Look, you need to, you need to understand what my preferences Oh, I know you like soccer. And without doing a proper research, I cannot just sign it up for $265 and then keep paying $265 every 3 months. Every 3 months? Yep. Yeah, every 3 months. But I want to help you, okay? So look, here's what I'll do. Why didn't you come last year? Just curious. I just didn't knock on your door. Just didn't. You weren't as lucky. Whoa, that was close. Now you get me this year. 4.9 stars. So give me one day time. You did knock my door. I did. Yeah, you asked me and you wanted to immediately sign up the service. Yes. Without even letting me think. I'm not going to do that. Would you do that? I would. I wouldn't. Just give me one day time because I have 4 friends in the same community which we are trying to do, and we will let you know. TJ, grüß dich, nette Loh. Yeah, have a good day. You too. All right, well, let's keep it going. There we go, bro. Oh dude, you look good. You look really good. You look really good, bro. Like, this actually looks good. Is there anybody else that wants to go bald before I leave? Here, look, you have the hard water right here. Windows are porous, meaning if you just do a squeegee, it goes right over it. So we have the water-fed pole. It's going to clean off everything and get into the pores. That makes sense. So that's okay, but like, the thing is, if you want to go cheaper, you go with them. It's not actually going to clean the window 100%. I'm never going to raise it. 405? Yearly it will be— oh my gosh, so cheap, so cheap. And then you see these? Come check this out, Manoj. I'm going to be cleaning off all the sills in summer. When winter is inside— winter, winter— well, winter I'll do inside for you and make it look really nice. That's my boss with the beard. So we didn't meet our quota and he shaved all of our heads. Oh yeah. Yeah, so today I'll do— oh well, I can't do it today because we're watching the soccer game after this too. I'm also— get this, come look at this, Manoj. So you see how the gutters, they get a little bit of dirt on the outside and they don't, they don't look as, as clean as they used to when you moved in? I'm gonna— usually companies would charge extra for the gutters. That, that company right there doesn't do the gutters. I'm gonna clean the whole exterior of the gutters for you guys when I come out for you guys on Tuesday. I'm gonna wow you right now, man, because Check this out, you'll like this. Okay, you see the garage right here? Other companies, I just wanna make sure with my boss I can get this. He's letting me, okay. Every single time, I'm not only gonna clean these windows in the garage, other companies, the other company, they won't brush down your garage door. I'm gonna do this door and I'm gonna do this door every time. So I'm basically cleaning your entire house at this rate. Listen, listen, listen, this will make super sense. That's unfair. Yeah, I think it's not going to work, honestly, dude. I'm doing more. I'm doing the garage door and the gutters and the frames and the sills. We don't need other things. It's only the window cleaning I need. I'm gonna wash the screens for you. What do I do? I don't need like any 6 months. I think 2— once in 2 years or 3 years is— you have to do it professionally recommended twice a year. See, man, I'm not going to Let me talk to my manager real quick. I'll see what he has to say. We're low on ammo, need immediate backup. Round 2, fight! Well, honestly, I mean, we'd love to take care of you. I know, I know, this is the business, right? I know. Yeah, and I don't want to be the guy that's just using like the squeegees and stuff because I'll be completely honest with you, if we use the squeegees, you're going to be calling us out a month later. What is $505 minus $375? $130. I'm going to give you $130. But I didn't even start. What, $130? But I want to help you because you had to put up with me for like an hour, did you not? It's bad. My wife, she has to put up with me too. It's crazy. How do I spell your last name? And we've been missing the game. I think we should just get this thing done and go watch the football game. Let me talk to my girl. Hold it. Okay. Good. What price did she say? He said $375, whatever the other company is giving. Yeah, for outside only, $375. Oh, you see inside, outside, both? I do outside only plus the gutters and the garage and the frames and the sills and the tracks and the screens on first floor, 5 screens, $375. That company is giving, that's why she's saying inside, outside. But you don't really need the inside done, for real. We just need outside done. It's not my— uh, she will kill me, okay? She won't kill you. She's thinking about it. I'm not thinking, I'm doing something else. Well, so is it up to him? Yeah. 375, you'd be robbing us and I don't have any food for my kids. Mommy want wingy. 505, I do everything inside out. It's too much work for us also. We have to remove everything. I'm so sorry. It's okay. I tried so hard. Yeah, if you change your mind, I will text you. Okay. Thank you. Bye-bye. Have a good day. Okay. Okay, guys, that was just pure for love of the game. I was willing to go— I was going to go negative just to get him to say yes. You learn anything at all? How to harass foreigners. You can literally just not stop with them. I'm going to bribe them to get a sale. Don't do that. I just was like, oh, $375 and I will do. And I'm like, Fine, I'll give you $130 cash just out of my own wallet just to make him say yes. I mean, I really like your somethingness and like moving too. You're moving a lot. You did a good job when he hopped in. We did— it's like tag team wrestling. We just like slap him in and I'm like, Austin, go to the front. He was not paying attention though. He was looking the other way. Bro, those windows in the garage were so dirty. Let's go back towards the car. Can I get one for Connor please? Hey, how are we doing? No soliciting. Do you have a license to be going door to door? Oh no, I'm just, uh, I'm popping over from down the road. I take care of some neighbors. License to be going door to door? Because you're breaking the city code if you are not licensed. Okay, I got you. You should leave us alone. My apologies. Neighbors alone. Cool, I got you. Have a blessed one. Get the objection. Okay, move. What, to her prison downstairs? Or wait, wait, is there a whole tuft of hair right here that I didn't get? Oh wow, there is. All right, so look, I need to kind of like take your hands and like shave your— like rub your head off. Yeah, yeah, here. Ready? Smile. Do you want to see me do poetry or not? One head at a time. Austin Maser, my life is now over. I'm not even 20, and yet since you scalped me this morning, I've aged 10 years. I understand, Connor. I also once had strings on my head, but now I can feel the cold touch on my pillow when my head hits the bed. You may miss it now. Soon you will realize your true potential. No, I lost my identity. My driver's license looks like witness protection. I hated it at first. Now, I kind of lean into it. You today, Joe while he sleeps tonight. I'll save this world one head shaved at a time. I'll eventually grow an army and eventually rid the world of these strings. You want to hear? All right. I hate that he's smiling right now. Thank you. For witnessing the lowest point of my week. Yeah, that was— that was a short firework. Come on, dude, he didn't give me a donation. Guys, come on. Listen, this is good for you, bro. This is your script, and you need to say Ode to Watermelon, a slam poem. That's what you're going to start. Okay. Ode to Watermelon, a slam poem. I lost, not quietly, Not gracefully. I lost a door-to-door sales competition. The kind of loss that follows you home. The kind of loss that sits in a passenger seat without saying a word. Every no, every slammed door, every missed opportunity echoes. People tell me, "You'll get 'em next time." Next time? Next time, I need comfort. Watermelon. Sweet, glorious watermelon. You don't judge me. You don't compare my numbers. You don't ask how many sales I got. You simply exist. Seeds scattered like tiny reminders that life keeps growing. With every bite, the sting gets quieter. But tonight, my only victory is standing with a spoon and one enormous watermelon that believed in me when the neighborhood did not. Thank you. This is my slam poetry. Hey! That was good. That was powerful. That was good. That was awesome.
