I'm NO BUSINESS EXPERT... But I'm not sure this advertising is sending the right message

Ajouté : 2026-05-24

[00:00:00]I'm a member of a Facebook group. It's a contractors and home services Facebook group.

[00:00:06]I don't even know why I'm a member of it. People will tag me from time to time in certain things.

[00:00:11]Not very often, but I I'm always interested to see what people are talking about. A lot of people rag on people in the you know, don't hire this guy, he did trash work. It's an interesting group to be a part of.

[00:00:22]So, somebody makes a post earlier today, 5 hours ago. They say, "I need some materials delivered from Home Depot to a property.

[00:00:30]Four sheets of plywood."

[00:00:32]Now, I've always thought that this would be a great business model.

[00:00:36]Being an Uber for Lowe's and Home Depot.

[00:00:40]And I know that they have those things.

[00:00:41]I think it's like TaskRabbit or something. I know that it's something. I think Tom even tried to be a part of this at one time. Now, what I've heard is they drag you with that. All you're doing is picking up freaking cinder blocks and just wild [ __ ] Go pick up a thousand cinder blocks for six bucks.

[00:00:59]But, I always thought that there's definitely you know, a market for this type of a thing. I could think of many times when I'm on a job site and I need X Y and Z from Lowe's. And here I go, I got to go run to the So, anyways, I run across this post. Couple of people respond. This one guy responds. He's got a business.

[00:01:18]His business is called Jack of All Trades.

[00:01:23]And it's an interesting business. We're going to take a look at that business right there. He says, "I'm available right now." And he shares his business, a picture from his business. Again, his business is called Jack of All Trades.

[00:01:36]Folks, I need to share with you this picture. I guess this is his um his logo. Yeah, that's what it is. It's a logo. That logo looks like this. Here's the logo right here, folks. I don't know why that had to be so big. Fit to the screen. There we go. That's a good one right there. Just move me over right here, so we can talk about this.

[00:01:55]Uh Jack of All trades, janitorial and junk removal services.

[00:02:03]Now, look at this real quick.

[00:02:07]We've got landscaping, handyman services, freaking HVAC work, plumbing, mopping floors, moving.

[00:02:16]Every single person THAT YOU'VE GOT IN these images is dressed up like a god blessed clown.

[00:02:25]When you look at this, if you're like when I look at this, the first thought that comes to mind is that meme where it's like getting ready to go work at McDonald's making $18 an hour and a girl's making a hundred grand selling farts in a jar and the guy's like putting makeup on and every scene he's got more and more clown makeup on.

[00:02:46]Like if you want to sell yourself as A PROFESSIONAL, I DON'T NECESSARILY think the way to do so is to showcase the workers, which are clearly some sort of AI or stock footage, wearing clown paint and freaking jester hats.

[00:03:06]You know what that actually represents?

[00:03:08]A magic trick or like some sort of uh a joke, RIGHT? LIKE HAHA, >> [laughter] >> I GOT YOU. IF YOU COULD EVEN GET past the clown getup. I mean, what how come you don't have birthday parties up here as well, too? Because honestly, that's what I'd be thinking here, right?

[00:03:26]Like do you do Do you do birthdays and weddings? Are you doing face painting? Because if a god blessed HVAC technician showed up at my house charging over a hundred dollars an hour looking like ICP, what are you A JUGGALO?

[00:03:41]LIKE THIS IS THE CRAZIEST [ __ ] TO ME.

[00:03:44]>> [laughter] >> DIABOLICAL logo this guy has for his business. How are you going to advertise mopping floors and also doing HVAC service calls. Let me tell you something. I don't know one HVAC technician that's going to sign up to go mop some floors somewhere or even do some moving work. Matter of fact, guys who get into the trades, your HVAC, your plumbers, your electricians, they get into them trades SO THAT THEY NEVER GOT TO DO NO MOPPING OR NO MOVING. But yet you're advertising for this [ __ ] You got some landscaping. Buddy's going to cut your grass and recharge the freon on your freaking heat pump outside. He's going to put a freaking Let me sound like I know some HVAC stuff right here.

[00:04:32]Buddy's going to do your damn your dryer vent on your HVAC and he'll god damn mop up the floors in your house, too. You need your couch moved, we can take care of that, too. We're the jack-of-all-trades.

[00:04:43]I'm not trying to bash buddy.

[00:04:45]I respect the hustle.

[00:04:48]But I don't think anybody would take this type of [ __ ] serious.

[00:04:52]However, if you want to talk about a a content goldmine right here, I'm about to hire this guy for an HVAC service call.

[00:05:05]What are we about to get?

[00:05:07]Now, if you follow me over on Joe Does Stuff, you'll know that I love to go down these exploratory rabbit holes that I never follow through with because I run across these umbrella companies that'll offer everything just like this guy is doing. And really, you know damn well they're nowhere near qualified to do half of the [ __ ] that they're advertising for. This is exactly that.

[00:05:27]Go. Folks, I went down the rabbit hole for Jack-of-all-trades.

[00:05:33]And boy, oh boy, what did I stumble upon? We're getting ready to explore together. We can get rid of the image.

[00:05:40]The image does We don't need the image right now. We can go ahead and mute that. Money, put me back here. All right, let's go. Not only does he do service calls, he'll cut the grass, he'll mop the floor, move the couch, and do your HVAC.

[00:05:54]But, he's also selling mixtapes. Okay, we are selling freaking mixtapes. So, when he comes to service that HVAC, it's $199 an hour. We got a $99 service fee, and then it's $100 an hour. But, if you buy a mixtape, we'll cut you a deal. I respect the hustle, but buddy, you are chomping at a really big bit right here. When you take on some HVAC when somebody hires you, thinking that you're a professional in what in a parallel universe, maybe something like that takes place. You know, they're going to expect you to show up and get the job done. And I'm not trying to judge the book by the cover at all, okay? We'll We'll do that in just a moment.

[00:06:37]I went down the rabbit hole on this guy's uh page, and I ran across some of the work that he was doing. Where is that work at?

[00:06:45]Because he was also advertising for electrical work.

[00:06:49]Son of a [ __ ] where did Where's the post at? Um and again, I'm not trying to rag on the dude. I'm just I'm just joshing around trying to make a couple of jokes of the situation. No ask too big, no task too small, even 24 ft up on a wall. If you ever have a job you need done, give us a call. So, he tells me that this is 24 ft up on a wall.

[00:07:11]Right here. Let's take a look at that right quick.

[00:07:15]I don't personally think that's 24 ft up. I I don't think so. There's your fire alarm right there. Your fire alarm is probably roughly about 5 ft up, okay?

[00:07:24]You can't have the fire alarm like out of reach of anybody. So, the fire alarm is literally right there. You're telling me that's 24 ft up in the air?

[00:07:33]If you can't eyeball 24 ft, like literally, you're probably what, 10 12 ft up right there doing that?

[00:07:41]If you're telling me that's 24 ft up in the air, buddy, you might be trying to oversell, like overcompensate. Hey, look, you know, we do it all. So, this is where he was talking about doing the electrical work at. Let's run that [ __ ] one time.

[00:07:53]Got the audio on.

[00:07:56]All right, let's see what's going on here. All right, we're doing electrical at a freaking Sonic's drive-thru.

[00:08:04]Buddy's an electrician on this day.

[00:08:07]Okay? Part two, y'all.

[00:08:09]The Sonic.

[00:08:11]Get up there. This rooftop action. All right, so what are you doing? On top of the sign.

[00:08:15]>> Holy [ __ ] I'm not really comfortable doing this [ __ ] You really doing some electrical?

[00:08:20]>> one for you.

[00:08:22]Why'd you flick us off?

[00:08:24]So, now what we doing is woah, we're fishing.

[00:08:30]Oh, you're fishing.

[00:08:31]>> Wires down that hole. I got it.

[00:08:33]>> So, I can connect with my man at the bottom and he can tie it in. Okay, cool.

[00:08:36]>> circuit. Oh, there's our guy right there. So, we just ain't in the line for power to go through. Okay, so you're the labor. You're not the electrician, right?

[00:08:44]>> the fishing man cuz I'm lighter. You're the fisherman. Okay, that makes sense to me.

[00:08:51]>> on the roof.

[00:08:52]Thank you.

[00:08:54]With Jacoba Treezmen General Services, not only do we specialize in residential construction and maintenance. I mean, not construction, construction repair and maintenance. Okay. Not only do we specialize in construction repair and maintenance for residential, but commercial as well. Wow.

[00:09:11]Working with my man L aka Elon Assad Oh. with EOS electrician services. Wow, okay.

[00:09:21]>> getting it done.

[00:09:23]This young man looks like he's no older than 30 years old. I can't imagine the wealth of knowledge and hands-on experience he has. I've got to imagine he's been doing this since a very young age. You know, you're doing a commercial property.

[00:09:40]Electrical.

[00:09:41]Listen, I might be from the old school and I'm 43 years old. I would be scared shitless to touch a job like this. I I really would, but thankfully this young man's just doing the the the fishing. And I don't think that he's actually the electrician who's doing whatever he's doing down below. I can't see anything going right with a situation like that. I can see more things going wrong. But good on him, you know, you can't learn unless you do. All right? So, I'm rocking with dude. I I really am.

[00:10:15]But like I said, I don't care if they clip this or not. I want to share with you what you could expect from this this jack of all trades. You know, he really is.

[00:10:25]We're doing HVAC, we're doing moving, mopping, and buddy is even a lyricist.

[00:10:31]Folks, let's get ready to listen to some music from this young man. It's called tea from the P.

[00:10:37]Now, I don't know what that means. I'm guessing he means Portsmouth cuz he's from the same city that I'm from. Tea from the P.

[00:10:44]Folks, brace yourself for absolute I mean, dude Dude reminds me of like one of them with like Tennessee tomorrow.

[00:10:54]Crush.

[00:10:55]Consent is actually my favorite word.

[00:10:57]Unite spirits happily. Word.

[00:11:02]You finna hear this on the radio.

[00:11:05]So, can we make love on the radio?

[00:11:08]Radio. [music] You're finna hear this on the radio. So, can we make love on the video? Jack of all trades, HVAC mechanical services specialist.

[00:11:19]And buddy's also wearing a Breaking >> [laughter] >> WHAT ARE YOU WEARING? WE'VE GOT THE FREAKING hip waders on. I thought that was the Breaking Bad getup. Buddy's wearing a shiflet freaking hip waiters crab man freaking fishing costume.

[00:11:37]>> [music] >> Oh, I see what he did there. He said consent at the beginning of this. So, he is asking, "Can I touch it? Can I grab it?"

[00:12:03]>> [gasps] >> I was having fun with this. And we haven't even gotten to the lyrics. This is just the hook.

[00:12:10]>> [music] [music] [music] >> Make me beg for it. Make me stack my checks.

[00:12:31]And stack my stamps.

[00:12:34]And buy some eggs for it?

[00:12:36]RUN THAT BACK ONE TIME, STEVE. That opening bar that stanza right there was incredible.

[00:12:50]>> [music] >> You know what? That actually goes hard.

[00:12:57]Make me buy some eggs for it. Have you seen the price of eggs lately?

[00:13:06]>> [music] [music] [laughter] >> Not the ad-lib talking about, "You can."

[00:13:26]You know what? I'm done with this. Um I actually feel bad for ragging on dude the way that I was. It's a positive love song.

[00:13:38]It's not about going out there and selling drugs and shooting people and being in the streets. This is a guy that works hard. He's got a business where he's offering anything under the sun.

[00:13:48]And let's be real here. If somebody called him for some HVAC work, the first thing he's going to do is get on the line and find somebody. And that's what you do in construction. Have you ever been behind a vehicle that's wrapped, a truck, a van, whatever it may be? I'll give you a perfect example. There's a a pressure washing company in my area, and it's called whatever it's called pressure washing and paint. But then it says and contracting, and they do everything. And you would think to yourself, how in the hell is a licensed pressure washing company going to come and do some plumbing work at my house?

[00:14:26]The same way that anybody would. If you need me and you like me, and you like me so much that you're even willing to take a chance on me with something that, you know, might not seem like what I really do, I'm going to find you somebody that I can recommend who can sub for me, and I get a piece of the pie. That's how the contracting game actually works.

[00:14:44]Everybody subs.

[00:14:47]Unless you are super conglomerate and you got all employees.

[00:14:51]But that's the name of the contracting game. So shout out to that young guy with the positive rap, selling mixtapes, and trying to hustle with the jack-of-all-trades. Do you see what I did right right there? I went in on dude, so you're like, "Oh man, this is kind of like really going in on dude."

[00:15:08]But at the end I made it a positive message. And I didn't intend to do that.

[00:15:11]It's just the way that it struck me. I was kind of making fun of his song at first, but in the end I was feeling it.

[00:15:17]That bar about the eggs got me. I [ __ ] you not, eggs is expensive.
