A short YouTube monologue by Mike Andes about hiring lawncare employees. The speaker recounts recent interview experiences, criticizes candidates who overstate skills or behave theatrically (e.g., "loves himself", "clown"), and advises employers not to dwell on no-shows or poor interviews—move on to the next candidate. The piece emphasizes practical hiring attitude over fixation on single failures.

Chapters

Getting ready to go into an interview. The one that I had just done, the phone interview, he showed up, loves himself, thinks he's awesome, said he could trim dogs and he could put a Mickey Mouse in bushes and, you know, he was a clown. I don't care how. Like I don't care that you can lace perfect stripes. And most time if you're going to talk about it, you're not really probably a high performer. You just think you are because everybody thinks they're special and they're not. No. And like I said, the one guy didn't show up and I don't care, like, don't you get this skirt? No, I just don't care. Like don't cry about it. It is what it is. If you dwell on it, you're going to be miserable. So just move forward and on to the next candidate. Not a big deal.
