  Speaker 2: Hey, good morning, good morning.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Thanks for holding. What's up?
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: So I wanted to tell you guys about my boyfriend's
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: new business and his new purchase that went along with it. Okay,
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: so he started a new business, kind of went off
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: on his own from what he was doing before. And
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: the vehicle that.
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: He's using as his work vehicle is a cyber truck.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: And like, nobody likes the cyber truck, right, you guys.
• 0:26
  Speaker 4: Agree with me there?
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: I like him. I just wish there were gas. Well
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: I couldn't call it cyber truck. They just have to
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: call it gas truck.
• 0:34
  Speaker 5: Why cyber means it's like, you know, something other than
• 0:37
  Speaker 5: a technology doesn't have to mean.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Electric is the name of it, right.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: I just think it's kind of like I think when
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: he's been pulling up to these I mean it's a
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: small business, right, So like when he's pulling up to
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: these individual homes, like it's not really screaming like, oh,
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: this guy like needs my business, you know, like it's
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: kind of screaming like this dude wants everyone to know he's.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Rich, and he also wants to take my money.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Like I had a cyber truck.
• 1:04
  Speaker 6: That's true, but what happened to him? I had no money.
• 1:07
  Speaker 7: Does his cyber truck have his business plastered all over it?
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, it has logos on it.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 1:14
  Speaker 7: I kind of feel like you're looking at this all wrong.
• 1:16
  Speaker 7: Whether whether you love or hate the cyber truck. It's
• 1:19
  Speaker 7: almost like when one's driving down the road, you can't
• 1:22
  Speaker 7: not look at it. So it's almost like kind of
• 1:24
  Speaker 7: genius marketing because people are gonna look at his business.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: I look at him all the time. I think they're cool,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: but you.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Probably look at them and you're like they already have money,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: like they.
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: Don't like I think it's turning people off, like yes,
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: it's advertising, but then it's like this person just has
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: a lot of money they want to borrow, or.
• 1:40
  Speaker 7: Or maybe you're looking at this all wrong again, or
• 1:43
  Speaker 7: they say, wow, that business probably does really well. A
• 1:45
  Speaker 7: lot of people use it. Maybe I should use it
• 1:47
  Speaker 7: as well.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: I think maybe some people think like that. I don't
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: know what. I think.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: You just hate the cyber truck. Does he know you
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: hate it? What does he say?
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: I mean, he says, I'm being ridiculous.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: But if I'm looking for a local business.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: And this giant stainless field triangle thing rolled up in
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: my driveway on my street.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm just going to be immediately suspicious.
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: So it just it doesn't scream small business owner. It
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: just screams I own at least three NFTs.
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: So yeah, I get it. I get it. So he's
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: not really he's not really taking your direction. He's just
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: he's just going full into uber douche business owner.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like none of my opinions matter.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: It feels like, all right, Ashen, thanks for calling in,
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 2:39
  Speaker 8: Speaking of small business, I gotta tell you something happened
• 2:41
  Speaker 8: the other day. I hate when people knock on my door.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Hate it.
• 2:45
  Speaker 8: And I hate when it's always people soliciting for something,
• 2:47
  Speaker 8: you know, because I have all these dogs, they bark
• 2:49
  Speaker 8: as cass and I gotta lure the dogs to the
• 2:52
  Speaker 8: front door and then run to the side door to
• 2:53
  Speaker 8: get out so they don't come out. And I go
• 2:55
  Speaker 8: out and there's this kid at the front door. And
• 2:58
  Speaker 8: I can't tell you if he's doing that pitch he
• 2:59
  Speaker 8: ever get those pitch the people that pitch you on
• 3:01
  Speaker 8: the candies or the books. And they're from a rough

  Speaker 8: neighborhood or whatever. So this guy, this guy, tall, good
• 3:08
  Speaker 8: looking blonde kid, his spiel. I couldn't tell if I
• 3:12
  Speaker 8: was being scammed up because he was so polite. And
• 3:15
  Speaker 8: he blew my socks off. And I was quizzing him
• 3:17
  Speaker 8: because he said, I live in your neighborhood.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: I'm doing whatever.
• 3:20
  Speaker 8: I'm like, dude, you really lose. I started quizing about people,
• 3:22
  Speaker 8: and he was really good. And what's funny about this
• 3:24
  Speaker 8: kid is a couple months ago, I was driving down
• 3:27
  Speaker 8: the street and I saw a car, a truck, not
• 3:30
  Speaker 8: a cyber truck, and it was like a barbecue cleaning company,
• 3:34

• 4:12
  Speaker 8: It looks fantastic, And I'm so like, this makes any sense.
• 4:15
  Speaker 8: I'm so proud of him. He's like a student at GCU.
• 4:18
  Speaker 8: He's gonna And what's funny is like after he was done,
• 4:21
  Speaker 8: I went back to I went home and looked at
• 4:23
  Speaker 8: the grill and they put a little like a he
• 4:24
  Speaker 8: was like a clothing tag, like a brand of a
• 4:26
  Speaker 8: clothing tag was around the part of the grill and
• 4:28
  Speaker 8: it says something. It said. It all printed up all nice,
• 4:31
  Speaker 8: and it said thanks for choosing grimy girls. But when
• 4:35
  Speaker 8: they printed it, they spilled choosing wrong, so it was
• 4:36
  Speaker 8: thanks for choosing and they crossed it out and wrote
• 4:39
  Speaker 8: choosing like. I was like, I mean, you know what
• 4:43
  Speaker 8: guaranteed human like? I thought, they was so fantastic And
• 4:46
  Speaker 8: I love the job that he did. And I don't
• 4:48
  Speaker 8: the guy, as far as I know, doesn't know what
• 4:50
  Speaker 8: I do for Livy. He hit my dentist later and
• 4:53
  Speaker 8: my dentist called me up. Go you've seen this kid
• 4:54
  Speaker 8: just go around try and so I hired him. I
• 4:57
  Speaker 8: think he's great.
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: Oh my gosh, you appreciate the hustle.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the kid, and you know what, I'm gonna get
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: his number. Would call him. He has no it'd be
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: so cool when you hear life changing. Let's give him
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: some advertising.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: Do you have that no soliciting signs like on your front?
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: No?
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: I hate those.
• 5:13
  Speaker 9: I was just wondering because my memo was just telling
• 5:16
  Speaker 9: me the other day how when she was younger, her
• 5:18
  Speaker 9: and her siblings used to go door to door to door,
• 5:20
  Speaker 9: but the house is that they would always hit was
• 5:22
  Speaker 9: the people that had the no soliciting ones because she
• 5:24
  Speaker 9: always felt like those are the people that could never
• 5:26
  Speaker 9: say no.
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: So I was just wondering. It's interesting because you started
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: by saying you hate.
• 5:31
  Speaker 8: When people I do, but I also I hate it.
• 5:35
  Speaker 8: But I also don't want to sign in front of
• 5:38
  Speaker 8: my house. It's ugly that says no soliciting.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 5:40
  Speaker 8: It's like when people put signs in their grass don't
• 5:42
  Speaker 8: let your dog poop here. I'm like, that's root in
• 5:45
  Speaker 8: your yard, but that's sign Like I don't want that
• 5:46
  Speaker 8: sign there. I'd rather hopefully there's a chance that people
• 5:50
  Speaker 8: don't just know not to do.
• 5:52
  Speaker 7: The street has signs all over their their yard and
• 5:56
  Speaker 7: this said, they look like almost like little graveyard. Thanks,
• 6:00
  Speaker 7: and they say here lies the last dog that.
• 6:02
  Speaker 6: Bleeped in our yard, like they used a bad word.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: And my kids are like, how come he has those signs?
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Up?
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Is it the one neighbor that you always had show?
• 6:12
  Speaker 6: No, Actually, we really like this neighbor.
• 6:13
  Speaker 7: So I'm like, yeah, he probably just just wants people
• 6:16
  Speaker 7: to stop pooping.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Dogs to stop pooping.
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I guess yeah, I would see dogs.
• 6:22
  Speaker 7: He doesn't want anybody pooping in his yard.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Okay, I think that's fair. All right, So I'm gonna
• 6:27

• 9:25
  Speaker 1: The business right now, right now. I'm talking about right now,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: right on.
• 9:28
  Speaker 10: So my name is Ian. I'm twenty one years old.
• 9:31
  Speaker 10: I go to Grand Canyon University here in Phoenix, and
• 9:35
  Speaker 10: I started a business cleaning barbecue grills. Kind of a
• 9:38
  Speaker 10: random business, but I heard about it through a family
• 9:41
  Speaker 10: friend when he was going to purchase a grill cleaning
• 9:44
  Speaker 10: business and he was gonna have me run it for
• 9:46
  Speaker 10: him a few years ago, but ended up backing out
• 9:48
  Speaker 10: of the sale. So I heard about the business then
• 9:50
  Speaker 10: and I thought that it was really awesome opportunity and
• 9:53
  Speaker 10: I love serving people through business, so I just decided
• 9:56
  Speaker 10: to go ahead and start it myself. So now we
• 10:00
  Speaker 10: work on mostly built in luxury grills and we do
• 10:05
  Speaker 10: good work. So it takes about three hours to get
• 10:08
  Speaker 10: a job done, but we love it and a lot
• 10:10
  Speaker 10: of people need it done. What a lot of people
• 10:12
  Speaker 10: don't know is the health risk of having a dirty grill,
• 10:15
  Speaker 10: and that's mainly what we specialize in, is getting a
• 10:18
  Speaker 10: deep clean on everything underneath. The burners, everything within the
• 10:21
  Speaker 10: grill that really homeowners don't want to touch. So take
• 10:24
  Speaker 10: this quite a bit. But our website's Grimygrills dot com
• 10:28
  Speaker 10: and feel free to check out our Instagram. We've got
• 10:30
  Speaker 10: a lot of content, a lot of homes that we've cleaned.

• 10:37

  Speaker 8: that cleaned our grill, my wife took it.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: His face is all covered in soot.

  Speaker 5: I bet he's like, oh, how often should a person
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: get there grill clean?
• 10:54
  Speaker 10: Dean? Yeah, so sometimes it depends on how often you grill.
• 10:59
  Speaker 10: A lot of you we'll get it done every six months,
• 11:02
  Speaker 10: some people every year. Some people want it done more
• 11:04
  Speaker 10: frequently too, Like I have a client who wants is
• 11:07
  Speaker 10: coming out every four months or so to keep their
• 11:10
  Speaker 10: drilling good condition. The thing is, these grills are really nice.
• 11:12
  Speaker 10: They're investments. A lot of people move into a nice home,
• 11:15
  Speaker 10: they don't know how much their grills worth. Some of
• 11:17
  Speaker 10: these grills are over fifty thousand dollars.
