Because it's Friday, you ain't got no jaw, and you ain't got shit to do! On this episode of the Commercial Break... Hey, Kaz and kittens, it's another BTW Friday! We're diggin' deep, we're fine in our best, and we're sending it to you. Nairian episode goes by the Chrissy and I don't make a reference to one of our favorite foils of all time, Frankie B. Now, if you want to listen to the first ever appearance of Frankie B, it's on episode number 17. That episode is called Lugnut, Casanova.

I stumbled upon Frankie while doing some research for the show. I was looking for pickup artists, but what I found was far better. The only way I can describe Frankie B is by asking you to use your imagination. What happens when the Jersey Shore meets your creepy uncle who keeps bringing young women to the Thanksgiving table? Imagine something 10 times more cringe, and that's Frankie B. He's an expert in all things fitness, fashion, fun, friendship, fire dancing, you name it, he knows about it. He's a Renaissance man.

Just ask him, he'll spend a lot of time telling you. And while we've since retired Frankie, it's one of those things that lives in the commercial break-lore and probably will forever. Some of you love him, some of you hate him. Either way, we couldn't do a best-to-yout series without including some Frankie B. Coming up for you today, Frankie B talks about an incredible business opportunity. His business opportunity, if you ever hear us talking about Salon's sweees, is because Frankie brought it to our attention. Here's a clip of Frankie that Christian I reviewed on episode 119, Advantage Frankie B. I'll be back later in the episode to share one of your listener requests. Enjoy!

The next episode of the commercial break starts now. But you got to understand that Frankie is about to pitch you the business opportunity of a lifetime and he wants to be serious. Does he ever get them all in? I'm not sure what he's doing exactly, but he told me he was figuring it out. Okay. It's something to do with Salon's Sweet. Let's just listen. Sweet. I think it's called Sweet's, but he says Sweet.

He has a company called Salon's Sweet. You guys are company called Salon Sweet. Okay. Guys, in their 40s, 50s and 60s, who want to up their game, look and feel better about themselves in grooming, fitness, fashion and lifestyle. Now I'm sure there's a lot of confusion going on. Yes, I'm already confused. You can say that. Yes, I'm already confused, Frankie.

And I've been watching you for a long time. But one of the hallmarks of a Frankie B video is absolute confusion as to what's going on or what he's talking about. So fear not, we're on the right track. Because you're at my channel, but a lot of you Google Salanswee franchise. Salanswee.

Salanswee. Salanswee franchise. You can't see. we're the D we're gonna open up a slant sweet franchise so that sweet consulting or just how do I open up my very own slant sweet building for all of you out there who did Google that hang in there you're at the right spot I've got all the valuable information I just want to take five to ten minutes to talk about something completely unrelated to the video.

You're at the right place. Hold on. In the next 20 to 30 minutes, I'm gonna get to exactly why you're able to. By the way, who's googling salon suite? How do you spell? I've never heard of it. What do you spell salon suite? I don't know. It's like a SU It's very French. He's very sophisticated. We It should come your way in just a second But first I want to talk to my subscribers and followers Okay, here

That's the car he took the music out for some reason I'm not sure why he took the music out, but the lot I've noticed the last couple videos Either have different music like he uses it sporadically, right? But now he's going to go through his introduction where he speeds away in a car, he hammers something against a wall, he slicks back his hair, he's at his salon, sweezing, his grooming done, he's working out and then he's coming up mysteriously from a pool. Oh, it's from a pool. Yeah, it's one of those things. Like, you just see the water and then all of a sudden Frankie slowly pops up out of the water.

But this is like steam. Yeah, right now. Yeah, steam. That's the smell of bullshit. Two cars. Oh, yeah. I like this new sophisticated Frankie. It's like a touch of tech now. I think he's decided.

You know club lounge. He's going to grow up a little bit. So today we're going to change things up. We're going to concentrate on lifestyle. Now normally I'm much more focused on grooming, fitness, and fashion with all my videos and for so you're not. It's all about getting cheated on. It's about you getting cheated on. That's all it's about. Let's be honest, Frankie. This is a revenge channel against whoever, whichever takes wife took all your money. Yeah.

Some odd reason I've always neglected the lifestyle Let's define lifestyle very important a lot of categories. I talk about this is right up there Right up there. This is right up there Okay, I don't talk about it a lot. It's very important, but of all the categories I talk about, this is in the top 12. Of the four categories I usually talk about, this is in the top 12. Yes. So lifestyle, it's to do what you want. Lifestyle, lifestyle. Where are the D's going? Frankie, what happened to the D? Who cut the T out? Who cut the T out?

Cut the tea out. Ooh, cut the tea out. Ooh. Ooh, ooh, ooh. When you want, how you want to be free from control, not to have anybody have their thumb on you. That's a work for anybody. I think that's called freedom. I don't think that's anything about lifestyle.

I don't have the thumb on you. You have the other thumb on you. Wow. Has somebody had a thumb on him? Someone's had a thumb up him, I'm sure. That's a lifestyle, a lifestyle, to go on vacations with the reason when you want. Within reason. Vacations to the motel six in your own town. Let's go to staycation. It's really cool. A lifestyle to be able to pay for your daughter's wedding. A lifestyle to be able to send your kids to college. A lifestyle.

Lifestyle. You hear this? Are you hearing the lifestyle? To not have to worry about finances. What else defines lifestyle? Okay, and how do you get that? Again, unless you've got a high-paying job, you got to get that in business. What? Unless you've got that in business, you've got to get in business. I'm just spelling it out for you. I don't want you to be getting it. Oh, as you've got a pain job, you've got to get that in business.

Okay, I'm making notes. Okay, I'm listening. I'm listening. I think I'm following you. If I don't get that by working, I've got to get it by working. Okay, yeah, definitely. Now, I am an entrepreneur. I am a businessman.

I have several. I feel like that's what he says to himself in the mornings when he's slicking back his hair. I am an entrepreneur. I am a businessman. I'm good enough. I do have great hair. My dick is big.

All those things might not be true yet, but they're coming true now. That's right. Businesses, and I plan on opening for more. I can help you here. And for all of you, you know, who have Google, Slán Sweet franchise, Slán Sweet, consulting service, who have Google? Google, who have Google, so on, sweet. I don't even think people know to spell the law. I will have, I always say, who have Google, the Slánon, sweet. Sweet. Or sweet. Tweed? I think it's sweet. Tweed? Tweed.

It's a long tweet. I'm assuming he's trying to say sweet, but he can't get that T in there. Okay. Just hang in there just one more second. We're going to be getting into this business, but for my followers, again, I'm going to offer all of you, let's remember this business opportunity because I don't know who you are. You may be Precisely because I don't know who you are Precisely because I am clueless as to what your first name is. I can offer you

You're in on this now. I don't even offer to my friends. I will leave people. I do not know I refuse to offer this to anyone that I know. Be mindful. This is the best business opportunity you've never heard of. And because you don't know me today, I feel comfortable taking your money. Ah, ah, ah, ah. Oh my God, this is the latest I didn't feel commercial.

I feel like we're back in the 90s. I know. That's your watcha me. You may be a businessman watcha me. You may have yourself in a group of guys watcha me. That's it. Hey guys gather around the TV. I've got some beers.

Hey everybody. We might have we stopped the circle juror for a minute. Stop the game. Hey Dave, stop wacking off Matt and get over here for a second. There's a business opportunity. Only available to people that don't know who this guy is. It's an incredible opportunity. I mean, you know the old saying, the best business opportunity comes from strangers.

That's exactly right. Looking for the ultimate business experience. Well, I've got that for you. So in a nutshell, and then we're going to get into the video, what I do is I build and lease salon suites. It's called House of Slans, Slans, Sweets. 21 years ago, it's called House of Slans. It's called House of Slans. Why don't you just call it Salons?

Come on, Frankie. Why don't you just call it Frank Salon? No Frankie. What is she's called Frank Salon? How's Salon's sweet? How's Salon's sweet? How's Salon's sweet? Salon's sweet. Salon's sweet. Frankie Bees, Frankie Bees, corporate entity of Salon's sweet,

House of Salon's sweet, owned by Salon's sweet. Yes. Yes. If you Googled, Frankie Bees, House of Card, Salon, Sweet. And you're looking for information on Frankie Bees. You're right, you're right here. House of Card, Salon, Sweet, you're in a exact right place. If you're looking to build your own shitty salon,

this small town near you, you can hire me. I was the first one in the world to develop the concept of building fully furnished land swiss. Nope. Nope. No. No. No. No. No. You were. I used to go to one. Yeah. This comes along. Frankie. That's a big claim. Thank you. For this long furnace. And the first one in the world, build a fully furnished salon. Yes. I went to a laser cut or whatever they used

to call them like for the laser cut for men or whatever it was. I went there when I was a kid in Chicago, 30, 40 plus years ago. We were going to these like, you know, the salon suites. Yes, salon suites, exactly. Where people come in and they pay $15 an hour to rent the chair and whatever money that they can make. And that's how it is.

By the way, this is a business model that Salons have had for a long time. Oh my God, for a long time. Yeah, because you know what, the salon owner, all they really care about is renting the chair. They rent the chair and they sell the product. They provide the building and the... The product and the sweets.

Yeah, the sweets and the equipment and the shit like that. Maybe a receptionist. Yeah, and the girls come in and then they cut the hair and whatever they can make, they can make. And usually they have like a dollar amount that's set for per cut or whatever. Percentage. Yeah, it's a percentage.

You take a cut. This is not... Flea markets have been doing this in Jesus Christ, by the way. I mean, Goddamn Frankie. Really? I invented the business model. I invented the office street business model basically. I just wanted you to know that. 20 years ago, 20 years ago was 2001.

It sounds like a long time ago, but it really was not. Yeah, I'm sure that there were supercuts in 2001. And Lee Sinos to the beauty professional. I took out all the expense of building the building, putting the furniture, all the equipment. I took I took all the risk and expense. So all the beauty professional had to do was come in and bring their own tools and they were open and ready for business. I'm not believing he said he's the first one in the world to do this.

He's thinking that's a big leap. You're a... Well, he's talking to people he doesn't know. He doesn't know. He's ready to dispute. And he's already shooting his credibility in the foot. Like when you make a claim like that in a business presentation,

that is clearly untrue, then you're like, I mean, I am not a, I don't work in the beauty professional industry. I have before actually. I was the front desk girl. Oh, you were? It's salon in college. Look at you.

Yeah, you had massages in hair and face holes and all of that. And they were doing it then. When I worked in the restaurant industry, there was like a very nice salon next door. And it was always well known that the hairdressers were hot, but that the girls at the front desk were always the hottest.

That's right. Just letting you know, just like a restaurant. You know, the hostesses are always the hottest, right? But here's the point. Yeah. There I have been supercuts around for a long time, and that's the same fucking business model, Frankie. Supercuts has been doing this.

I do have an uncle. I have a family member who owns like 20 super cuts or whatever they're called, right? This is a business model that's been around for a long time. You did not invent it in any way, shape or form for a nominal fee. So 21 years later, this has become one of the biggest franchising booms in America. But unfortunately, all the franchises out there,

they're gouging the individual for hundreds of thousands of dollars that you don't need to spend. And it absolutely sickens me to see. It makes me sick, that they're getting the money and that need. So I'm making this video. Hundreds of thousands of dollars, like I said, I've worked on this industry before, they're not those, you know, unless you're in LA, New York, whatever,

in charging, exorbitant prices, you're not even close to making $100,000 so you're that the someone could take. Listen, $25,000 for a supercuts, I think, is like the franchise fee, and then you give them 20% a month. You're not making any money on supercut number one. You're making money on supercut number 10. That's what you do. That's what these franchisees do and it's not the hottest franchising opportunity that's in America right now

No one gives you to get the world. These are other supercuts Frankie coming out of the pandemic too when It's the hottest it's the hottest franchising opportunity that recently went bankrupt in America. People, you spend this money. Now there's no one out there in this business that has more experience than I did. I created it. So it's in my head. I created it.

There's no one in the world that has more experience with pussy than me because I created it. I literally created the vagina over 20 years ago. So I know all about it. The vulva, the hitoris, the clitoris, the interlips, the outer lips, I know everything. You know how? I invented it. That's how. I'm an expert. I'm been expert. I'm an expert in all things vulva.

Oh man, this is just bad. Oh Franky, we love you. But you got a, you got a, you're dooping people. You got to reward this one. Dooping people. No one's getting duped. No one's going to hire Franky for this. What about those good guys?

They're sitting around watching. Black each other off watching Franky. Watching this incredible. Quack a business opportunity from some random dude on YouTube. There's sitting around watching black each other off watching Frankie watching this incredible Quake of business opportunity from some random dude on YouTube There's gold in those videos Clearly he must know what he's talking about he invented the business model guys. Yeah, I can see 12 guys around Breaking out their checkbooks. I'm in for 50

How quick can we get hold of Frankie? We need to build a salon suite. By Frankie B's house of cards. possible. I have more knowledge and I could put up that same building for what a franchise is gonna charge you just to put their name on the door. No, you can not.

I work in the real estate business and you cannot put up a building for more than they're gonna charge you to put a super-cuts on the fucking front door. I can promise you this. I can promise you this. You're gonna spend at least half a million dollars building A salon, at least. Yeah, at least.

Yeah, you can't even build a box these days for $500,000. Think about that. I'll franchise, just to put their name on the door. I can put up your whole building from top to bottom to ribbon cutting. So if you're looking for the... Please tell me, it may even be worth just the fee here to have Frankie come for ribbon cutting. I'd charge. I would like him to bust through the ribbon. No, cut it.

It was buster. Unfortunately, he doesn't do the pricing here, but I would like to hear the pricing. I charge $57 an hour. Wait, so is he saying, maybe I just need to listen to the video more, but is he saying he will come to your town and just build a building for you? Houdley, I don't know what he's saying.

I don't know what the business opportunity is. He is the expert, he is the expert. We don't know anything. Why you would build Frankie B's house of cards salons sweet rather than a super-cuts or, you know, what do they call those? Great clothes, the mitches, the palm mitches, or whatever, why you would get involved in this

above one of those other well healed, well experienced businesses. I don't know, because I've never heard of Frankie B's House of Card Salon Suites, but maybe, I think he's saying suites, maybe it's suites,

just like his Swedish ribbit. But I've never heard of his business model. I mean, I've never heard of his business, and I don't have a Frankie B house of card Salon Suite right next door to my house So you can't go check it out. Yeah, the Atlanta market is wide open You want to go in with me? I'm afraid Listen, it's probably better than some of the other business ideas we've had

Ultimate business Adventure business experience Passive income a building that you could put up and it runs itself. You know, there's buildings that run themselves. You know, those businesses, they run themselves. The kind you see on late night TV where people went to jail. It's the same thing only I'm the one who's stealing your money.

What the fuck? No business buildings that run themselves. Yeah. What is the problem? I'm your salon suite. Don't worry about it. I got it covered. I'll turn on the air conditioning and I'll turn it off when people leave. I'll close the door and lock on after you. Count the cash register and sweep up the floor. I am Frankie Bees, House of Guard, Salon, Sweet, Roswell, Georgia! Oh my god, so so crazy. This is insane. Hopefully you have your interest. So we're not interest. We're gonna get Frankie some speech there. I mean, now, if he has a legitimate speech impediment,

then I'm very sorry that I'm making fun of it, but there don't seem to be any teas anywhere in his speeches. Yeah, I don't know where they went. I'm further ado, we're just gonna roll right into this video. And if you have any questions or... He does have a tea, he said, right? He said, right, we're gonna go right into this video. Okay, so he knows where the tea is all.

He just doesn't choose to put them in most of his work. Maybe that's like his signature. Yeah, maybe when they're embedded into the words, that's when it gets hard, like sweet. Sweet, sweet. By the way, I'd like to point out we're seven and a half minutes into this video. And Frankie is now just introducing the video

If I told you that if I paying me a thousand dollars to stop talking, you could save yourself hundreds of thousands of dollars in business, business failure.

So 21 years ago, I had a vision. I had a vision. What if I could rip people off in my sleep. What if I could build buildings just like I do with my play dough in my free time in

real life and then put little fake Lego chairs in there and rent them out to unsuspecting hair salons. I was a vision. It was a vision. It was a vision. I was high on cretin and steroids, and I had a vision. What if I could just take people's money because I call myself an expert? Yup. It's called consulting, and I invented it over 20 years ago.

Yup, then you had a vision came out. Yes, right. And all came to fruition. Yeah, came into play. Frankie B's house of card salon, sweet. Then if I put up a building and all the beauty professional had to do was to bring their own tools and they would be open and ready for business,

what a fabulous concept that would be for all beauty professionals. So 21, I basically saved the beauty industry. It's so crazy. This cannot be true, right? Okay, hold on one second. Now we got to stop just for a second. Oh my god. Salon. Salon. Rent a chair. Oh, yeah, no, I mean, it's been going on. Okay, it's got it. It's got a lot of time. I want to make sure that we're, we're correct about this.

It, I know that we are. Yeah, I know that. I know about it. Right? Uh, okay. Oh, yeah, this has been going on since the 80s. It's the 70s. Yeah, this has been going on since the 70s.

Yeah. Yes. Now, let me do this. Frank Bernardo, Salon, I'm gonna say sweets. I'm gonna take a guess here and say sweets. Nope. That is not how it's spelled.

No, that's not how it's spelled. Do you see how it is spelled? I don't. Salon sweets's not I would spell. Do you see how it is spelled? I don't. Salon sweets, Ferent, fully equipped. My salon suite. Yeah, listen. There are employers. Yeah, the Frankie did not bet this business model.

This is clear. This is clear. Clear. Yes. I can reference a news article from 1982 where they're talking about this business model. So I already know that Frankie is full of shit. That's a 40 years, that's 20 years before he says,

20 years ago he invented it. Yeah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, what'd you say? That was it, yeah, it's not true. No, it's not. So I did just that. So here's the photo. This is me standing in front of my first building and there's three of the six tenants that building and there's three of the six tenants

That there's three of the six tenants because that's it. That's all we got The other three are imaginary Three of the six But here's a picture of proof the other three I get to rent the chair. It's proven. Here's the business owner That went into chapter seven bankruptcy seven days after this photo was taken But you know, you know what they say business is an adventure Revealable total adventure all for the photo. So 21 years later for the photo. So 21 years later, this is now one of the biggest franchising blooms in America. Why? Well, because Salon Suites are a good investment. They are a

great business idea. The concept is fantastic. You can make lots of money. You could put up multiple buildings. But do you need a franchise to do this? Absolutely not. And in this video, wait, you're selling a franchise, what you're saying you don't need a franchise. I have the rights to a franchise. I don't care. Did you invent salon suites, and now you've broken off from them and you're doing your independent consulting?

Or do you own salon suites and you're trying to get people to buy into the salon suites? I think maybe he thinks other people still has idea. Maybe that's it. Maybe what happened is, oh, the, because there is, I can't see that there's a company called Salon Suites,

but nowhere is Frankie B mentioned anywhere. At least in my quick preliminary glance, I'll do more research, but. They had a falling out. It wouldn't you? Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Frankie, you gotta stop running around telling people this is the original idea.

You gotta stop telling people this with your idea. Me and Franco and this, me and John on this business, 30 years ago, man. We just brought you in to do a little maintenance on our air conditioning. You didn't invent it. You don't even work here, really. You literally are the HVAC guy. Now, take your Nissan center and get out of here. Oh, I'm going to explain to you why franchising is a horrible idea. Why franchising is going to cost

you hundreds of thousands of extra dollars. No, it's not. There's over my consulting services. And guess what? I'm going to give you better service, better knowledge because who knows more in the industry than I do. Well, who's a better equipped to bullshit you than I am. Don't worry about those well-known franchises. Just give me your money. Yeah, don't. Because my consulting don't worry about those five star franchises.

You actually have to buy our build a building. Just sneak right in and take don't worry about those five star franchises. You're a HVAC guy. And then that's how you work your way. Don't worry about all of those other reputable businesses. Come with me. I am literally reinventing the way people pretend to consult.

I started it 20 years ago. I invented the imaginary consultant 20 years ago. And now I'm perfected to visit this model. After all, I created the concept. I've worked with the beauty professional day in and day out for 21 years. I know what they like, I know what they don't like. I know what your building needs and I know what your building doesn't need. Let's face it, after what it does in need is a cocaine safe.

I learned that the hard way. What it does in need is a massage table for illegal, erotic massages. I've been doing it for 21 years. I've failed so you don't have to. And what it certainly does not need is a no pants Wednesday policy. That's right. We're not to win the with Frank with Harvey Weinstein. I'm just saying cancel cultures in full effect or my dick would be in full glory right here on this video.

You put up your building, they basically run themselves. So do you need a franchise? You don't, but they're gonna tell you that. You know why? Cause they're gonna, who's they? I know. Who's telling you? Great club.

Yeah, people who actually make money. It's been a proven business model for years. That's right. The people who are basically making that actual money. Yeah, but don't get involved in the self-running building. That's what I get. That's all you need. It's just a building that runs itself.

I cannot imagine a harder business to actually make cash in than a salon. Yes. Yeah, then a salon. Yeah. Why? Because there's one on every fucking corner. There's such a turnover. Yeah, there's such high turnover.

It's like a restaurant business. It's like it's hard to make money. I had a relative that got into one of those mail box companies, right? Right, right. I don't want to give away too much detail, but they got into one of those mail box companies and they were sung this big song in dance about how every one of them made money, everybody needs a stamp, everybody needs a mail bot, you know, everybody needs this and that and the other thing.

And it was incredibly difficult just to break even, just to break even. They had to close the business down because after many years of trying and giving their money to the franchise or, right, it was like, we're not going to make any money ever doing this. There's not enough stamps that we could sell to make money doing this. And there's not enough haircuts that you can sell unless you have a reputable name by hand.

You or you are a fantastic hairdresser. Right? There are success stories. No doubt, just like restaurants come out of nowhere and become big hits. But just because you have to have building that runs yourself, it runs itself, doesn't mean you've got to make it ton of money. They start building that runs itself. There is, hold That's the thing you've got to make it, I don't know. And start building that runs itself.

There is, Hode. You're just not paying attention to the video. You just haven't been listening to a Frankie in a second. I get it. I'm with Frankie. You get it, I get it. We're on the same way. Watch your seven to nine percent royalty fees

month after month after month. Well guess what? If I was you, I'd rather take those royalty fees that you're going to save by doing business with me and spend it on cocaine and go on a family vacation each month. So if I have your interest, is the family vocation considered acapoco with strippers? I'm just wondering. And not even not even. No, this is so funny. I mean, it also like nothing like getting your business up and running and then boom, going on vacation.

I'm going, I've got vacation. Yeah. Yay. Well, the building's going to run itself. Don't worry about it. Wee. Everybody will be fine. Yeah.

Vacation, don't worry about the building. Yeah. Vacation, it locks up after itself. No, no, no, just come in and leave. It'll sweep up after itself. Don't worry about it. Those people are not able to take a vacation. No, please.

Second year. At first or second year, I started a business and I didn't vacation for five fucking years. I didn't leave the state of Georgia Why and I can and I worked for my phone? Why cuz I didn't have any money cuz it's really hard to start a fucking business. That's why This is silly podcast. We're doing Jesus Christ somebody save us Somebody give us some money

Let's roll into this video. I'm gonna show you why franchising is wait We're rolling into another video. Geez, man. There are so many videos within video I don't know it does gotta feel like one of those movies doesn't it? idea It doesn't matter. They're all hell my my services are going to be the best move of your life. To banish number one, it's the initial franchise fees. Be prepared. Bring your checkbook because as soon as you sign that, because as soon as we meet, I'm going to ask for a check.

Made out to Frankie B's House of Guards to Lawn Sweets. $50 just for the initial consultation. That's it. I take cash too. American Express, 3% service charge. Contract, on the dotted line, it's going to cost you anywhere from 50 to 70,000. But you know what that'll get you?

It's going to get you the name on the door. So right when you sign, you're already in the whole 50 to 7070,000. How does that feel? It feels great. I know I've got the confidence that an actual business, that actual business people are doing business with me. Yeah. Yeah. Now Frankie B consulting with me. What do you consulting about? So pay for the name. Yeah, are you an architect, Frankie? Like are you gonna build the building?

Are you a general contractor? I think he's gonna build the building and it's gonna run itself. Yeah, but let me ask you a question. Like, I mean, legitimately, like could you possibly be an architect, a general contractor, a design guy, then you're gonna consult with someone

on how to build a business and manage it? Well, I mean, it runs itself. So I guess you don't have to worry too much about man. Yeah, once it's built, I mean, it runs itself. So I guess you don't want to worry too much about man. Once it's bill boom, vacations. I could see Frankie's got like a binder. He brings with three separate pages. We're gonna build it. We're gonna open it. You're gonna go on vacation. Any questions? $25,000. You have my personal burner cell phone number. You have my personal burner cell phone number. I check this every Tuesday, 3 to 3 30 p.m.

Don't you worry, leave me a voice, ma'am. I'll get back to you. I promise. I'll be in Oka Poco. I mean, Oka Poco. I bet the reason why Frankie went away for six months is because one of these people saw the video in acappoco and they're like the fuck Although we're building the slons we I Give the guy a $30,000 check he's down in a cappoco for three months

Don't worry things are going great here pink pink pink He's got a hammer with him. He's like banging against the hotel window pink pink pink He's got a hammer with him. It's like banging against the hotel window Pink pink pink pink Everything's going great here Frankie. I just saw your YouTube video Oh, what that that's from years ago You had a newspaper in your hand from yesterday It's amazing YouTube technology. Don't worry about it. Gotta go, bye.

I'm changing my number, Tarty Zood. This is a vanish franchise. This is a vanish number two. It's royalty fees. Get ready to shell out anywhere from seven to nine percent. And that's every month. Those costs can cost you anywhere from 2 to 3500 to 4 grand a month I don't know about you, but I can invest that money each month

I can open up some more salon suites. Are you getting a picture? But the fring- I can take 7% of what? Anyways, yeah, and then and then invest it more small Yeah, just build them keep Keep building the lawns. That's a good build. By the way, seven percent. Just get your friends to them, that'll then take that money,

and then switch it over to the other friend, and give them profit, and then switch that over and give them profit. What percent of seven percent is $40,000? That's a lot of money. I'm just going to be honest with you. I don't know too many

supercuts that are pulling in $60,000 a month in haircuts. That's a lot. They're $15 a cut. You have to do 3,000 haircuts in a month. You're doing a hundred a day. I doubt it. I doubt it. I'm just saying. I doubt that any supercuts is doing a hundred cuts a day. Maybe you think so? But wait, Frankie's still on sweet. That's right. That's right. That's where the real opportunity and adventure comes into play. And there's absolutely no management in place.

No brand name, no marketing, no advertising. That's what you can expect of real dollars to move. All that money you're going to save on marketing, advertising, and the name on the door is going to go right into your pocket. You won't be cutting $4,000 checks because you won't be making $4,000. With Frankie Beast, House of Cards, it's a lot of sweets. 7% of $12 is almost nothing.

But you can have a sore salon with that. Open up some more slums. It's the reinvest. Hey, John, it's Frankie. Are you ready to go for the next one? I haven't made a dollar. That's why you got to open up number two. I've got to keep going.

I've jelly knee number two is the one where they, you know. You're in the sophomore slum. You need to get out of it and build a couple more. I've got some great locations. Here's one in Pittsburgh in the man. It's where an old steel mill used to be. I can build it with the old steel mill material for next to nothing. And that money I'll save is going to go right into my pocket. That's right, sis. They're going to tell you that you need their brand. And I'm going

to tell you why it's totally false and a big lie. First of all, nobody out there, clients that you're seeking to rents and the patrons. They never heard of Phoenix salon suites, solo salon suites, or my salon suite. They never heard of these companies and they don't care. And the professionals 99.99% of them, they never heard of these companies. So don't get caught. I've never heard of these companies. I know what you're talking about. Phoenix salon sweets.

I don't know, that's just not something we have around here, I don't think. He's saying, I'm confused. I don't know. I don't know. He's saying that these things, most people don't know about these other salon sweets. He's saying that these things, most people don't know about these other salon suites. He's saying.

What do you say? Please, just type it out. Because we're in the movie in September. I'm working on it. It's been the talk. Okay. What he's saying is, it's real simple. Okay.

That if you want to buy a franchise opportunity, then Frankie is the guy for you. But there are disadvantages that others franchise opportunities have. He's saying, yeah. So he's saying stay away from the franchises, but go with Frankie's franchise. The franchises are bad,

but Frankie's franchise is better because it's not Phoenix salon sweets or solo salon suites. Things that people have never heard. That's right. What you're trying to do is you're trying to get a- It's a building. A building.

A self-billed. Self-running building. Did that, did we, did I think we may, I think we may have been pretty clear to everybody, right? I think we wrapped it up nicely. I'm, I'm most confused myself. Once I set it out loud and all make it Yeah, I just had a talk here now that we know we are in the video

That's what's on up with the franchise is saying you need their brand to fill the building False you put up a good building and you have good rent and you do the proper advertisement You're good because that's what I do every time I go to a salon. I just... It's a great building. Let's get in here and get my hair. Ha ha ha ha. Man, this is made like a sh-

Freak house. Let's go. Ha ha ha ha. Quick one, the building's still sanding. Ha ha ha ha ha. Guess this shit about the building. Ha ha ha ha ha. What are you get it. I'm gonna get it. I'm gonna get it.

I'm gonna get it. I'm gonna get it. I'm gonna get it. I'm gonna get it. I'm gonna get it. I'm gonna get it. I'm gonna get it. I'm gonna get it.

I'm gonna get it. I'm gonna get it. I get pizza from a place that looks like it hasn't been cleaned since 1979 And I don't care because it tastes good. I just choose not to look at the walls There are dead people in that fryer. I'm sure and I get at least out They don't care about the name on the door and clients come into that building They don't know who they are you don't decline. Well, honey says proctology, but let's go get our hair cut. Yes, they do care about the name on the show. They do. They have a good day. Honey, I think this regular people do. I think that says a-ness massages. Who cares? I don't care about the name on the door, I want my haircut. It's like these people are walking to McDonald's.

I want a double bacon western cheeseburger. We don't make those here. You do now, I'm calling the police. Care's about, they care about their stylus. That's the only name they're looking for when they come to the building. They're looking for their stylus name. Disadvantaged franchise, you don't need to be paying royalty fees for a brand that doesn't exist. No, no, no, no, no.

That is true that some people follow a stylist. Of course. But you have to originally find the stylist. Yes. and then where do you do that? And Tale's walking into a salon. Yes, a reputable salon. Yes, that's correct. Oh, Frankie, you just got this. I don't know who taught, I don't know. Is he talking about building buildings? I don't even know.

I don't even know, don't even know. Yeah, he might get to any probably one. The buildings of like well-known styling. No, he's just like, is he? I don't even know. He doesn't say like if I was doing this presentation, I'd be like, me, Frankie B. I'm an expert at building hair salons.

I know how to, I have the interior designers, the architects, and I know where to get the land cheap. If that's interesting to you. And then I'll show you the business model. I'll show you how to manage it and run it. I can even put people in place for you. I'll do marketing for you. If I had all the, that's what I would say. He's so far told us none of the deliverables for getting a hot

Frankie on board. Now only why you should not go with the fring time. That's correct. But he gives no deliverables. He just says, if this is interesting to you, call me up. And then I'll talk exactly like this until you agree to pay me $50,000 just to get me off the phone. I don't even know what are you delivering? We should write them an email. We should write an email to that link and pretend like we want to be in the salon business. Yes. And we should be like, dear Frankie, we have a few questions.

Watch your video. Super informative. You laid out everything. You laid out all of our questions, except just a couple. There are literally no stone unturned. However, I thought of a few questions that didn't get answered. What exactly are you doing? How exactly much does it cost?

Who exactly are you? I love your nominal. Yeah. What exactly is the business model? Just a few details I think you left out. Do you mind filling me in? All the other shit I got. Go over about it.

So banish number three. It's development, construction, furnishings, and equipment. Now this is where the franchise, this is where they're gonna make their big money. It's their big quick money. Yes, royalty fees over the time. It's money coming in each month,

but their big quick money is in these charges right here, okay? Because they mark it up anywhere from 1000 to 1500%. And that's gonna cost you a fat way. What? They're marking up, 1000 to 1500% and that's gonna cost a fat way They're marking up they're marking up a hair dryer is 50 The furniture 1500% can have each room Here's the Sega 3000 air dryer from Walmart $9.99 here $625.

Deal. Deal, sold, where do I sign? Come on, $1500 per cent. Yeah, that seems like it. Yeah, they don't even mark up alcohol. And that's the biggest markup of anything. It's when you go to buy a drink at a bar. They mark it up at least 150%, but $1500. Can you imagine walking to a bar?

Yeah, and you're like, can I get a Jose Cuervo and they're like $7, they're like $712. That sounds reasonable. I've got this happen, it's self-running pressure. That's right. It's just run to self. Do you take Apple Pay? Shoot tens of thousands of extra dollars and you have no say so over the contractors that

they choose, the equipment that they pick out, the furnishings that they want to place, everything top to bottom. You have no choice other than to walk away from your initial investment if you're not happy. Disadvantaged franchise. Disadvantaged franchise. You see, you could be a million ad just stay the fuck away from the franchises. Furniture disadvantage franchise. Construction markers. Yeah, disadvantage franchise.

This guy shirtless every day on the job site approved. Advantage Frankie. 12 months of construction done in five years. Advantage Frankie. Brick disadvantage. Paper mache advantage Frankie.
