1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:14,440 Speaker 1: Who's that man joking in my ear? He's rung Burndy. 2 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:19,320 Speaker 1: My dearest listeners, how is everyone this week feeling okay? 3 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,720 Speaker 1: If you're listening at home, are you cozy under a blanket? 4 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,119 Speaker 1: You might be in your family's minivan airing out the 5 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:29,520 Speaker 1: cigar smoke because your parents get back into town. How's 6 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,960 Speaker 1: that going? And here at the studio, Carolina, how you doing? 7 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:39,160 Speaker 1: I'm good? Nick in the booth, you okay? Good? Family 8 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:43,159 Speaker 1: is good, everybody's good. Thanks, great, and the temperature is 9 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 1: good in here. Sorry for all the questions. I'm not 10 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:51,199 Speaker 1: trying to be a nosy Carolina. Not nosy Carolina, but 11 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 1: that's a phrase. Oh well, I just read a great book, Carolina. 12 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,080 Speaker 1: You should check it out. It's called How to Win 13 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie. It just came out. 14 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 1: O that book came out like a little over eighty 15 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 1: years and it's growing in popularity. I wanted to give 16 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,320 Speaker 1: it a shout out on the podcast so more people 17 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,120 Speaker 1: could hear about it. Oh, it's actually one of the 18 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: most popular books of all time. I think in it, 19 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 1: my new friend Dale list six ways to make people 20 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 1: like you, and it's it's not what you think you 21 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 1: don't have to bring a you know, a brick of 22 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 1: cocaine for the next game night. In fact, the first 23 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 1: thing Dale says is you have to become genuinely interested 24 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:37,119 Speaker 1: in other people. Hence my questions today. Okay, is that 25 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,320 Speaker 1: why you asked me if my nose was real when 26 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:44,320 Speaker 1: I walked into I'm just saying, people have been talking, okay, 27 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 1: and we just know it used to be bigger, or 28 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: maybe it's the same size. I didn't do anything, so well, 29 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 1: it's still pretty outstanding. You have an outstanding nose. I 30 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 1: don't know how you mean that anyway. The second thing 31 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: Dale tells us to do is smile. Smile, smile, smile, smile, smile, smile. Okay, 32 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,919 Speaker 1: please see I'm smiling too much. Just close your mouth. 33 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 1: Talk normally. It marks people love you. I'm gonna pay 34 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: you ten dollars to look normal, and I'll pay you 35 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 1: fifty to do the same. Okay. Thirdly, you have to 36 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 1: say a person's name a lot to them. It is 37 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 1: the sweetest and most important sound in any language. That's 38 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: certainly true. I actually fall asleep to a tape of 39 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: people saying my name. Different recordings of people at award 40 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: shows airport, loudspeakers, lawyers at my deposition hearings. Just get 41 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: me relaxed. Oh wow, well, maybe you know what. You 42 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 1: can use some of these skills to talk to the 43 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: CEO of Fair today. Who the CEO of Fair? A 44 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,119 Speaker 1: representative affair? He's we're having them in for a few questions. 45 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: Oh okay, what's his name?

His name is Scott, Scott Painter. 48 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: He's in the room, Scotty. Please, welcome to the studio. 49 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 1: Scott Painter. Thanks for joining us. Hey, Ron, how are you? 50 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: I'm great, I'm great. Thank you so much for coming in. Yes, 51 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 1: thank you. What a beautiful name, Scott Painter. Glorious to 52 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 1: the lips, Scott, Scotty, Scott, take it easy, ah, Scott, Yes, 53 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: Scott Painter. Never forget that name. We want you to 54 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 1: stop and keep going. Is it what's the origin of Painter? 55 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 1: Is that Dutch? I think it's a German and Scottish. Well, 56 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: we learned something new every day and thank you for 57 00:03:54,520 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: that information. Scott Painter, CEO, founder of Fair. And so 58 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 1: what what does fair Auto. Do Well, we are a 59 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 1: way to get a car entirely on your phone. Oh, 60 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: that's right, because we've been talking about that. Those are 61 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: the advertisements. Yes, anyway, you get the phone and you 62 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 1: get a car, you get a car. Well, it really 63 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 1: comes from just wanting to make the whole process of 64 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: getting a car a lot easier. Most people don't even 65 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,359 Speaker 1: want to go into a dealership anymore, not anymore. No, 66 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 1: the idea of doing everything on your phone, just like 67 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 1: everything else in modern life, was really where the whole 68 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: thing started. A lot of dealerships frankly, they smell, you know, No, 69 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: I'm just saying they stink. Really, that's what I've come to. 70 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: I mean, I think they smell like new car, which 71 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,719 Speaker 1: for people is usually oh I hate that smell. Oh 72 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: do you? In fact, just the thought of it, okay, 73 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 1: makes me want to vomit. That seems dramatic. Why don't 74 00:04:55,760 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: you take a sip of water and Scott Scott paid here, 75 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: he's here with us for just tuning in a lot 76 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:09,479 Speaker 1: of people just tune into a podcast. Did you know that? Um, 77 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: just for my records? When does my car come? Scott? Well, 78 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: you've just got to get on your phone and pick 79 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 1: one out. No, no, no, I mean my free car, 80 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: the one I was promised. Who promised you that? Oh? Okay, 81 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:29,600 Speaker 1: so it's a surprise. That's sweet. Okay, when I get 82 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,719 Speaker 1: my free car, what should I do? Run? I don't 83 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:37,599 Speaker 1: think that's happening. Okay, it's a surprise, um Scott. The 84 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 1: question is why do you like working at Fair? I mean, 85 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: you created it, so it's your baby. Well, but where 86 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: where's the satisfaction. I think great companies and great entrepreneurs 87 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: solve a problem, and I think buying and owning a 88 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: car is complicated, time consuming, frustrating, and most modern customers 89 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: just have said they don't want to do it anymore. 90 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: I mean we're all the hassle. Yeah, yeah, the confrontation, 91 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: the commits. So what we created was really a solution 92 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 1: for that that doesn't require any negotiation, any confrontation or commitment. 93 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 1: You can take the car for as long as you want, 94 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: and then when you're done with it, you just simply 95 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 1: let us know and we pick it up. What's the 96 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 1: shortest amount of time someone has leads to car for 97 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,279 Speaker 1: if you had anyone to just for like five minutes. 98 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: It turns out when humans get a car that they like, 99 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 1: they sort of move into it. And even though we 100 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,239 Speaker 1: don't have a term to our contract, the average customer 101 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 1: is keeping the car for almost two years. Wow. Ron 102 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: usually can't afford cars at dealerships, but he loves negotiating. 103 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 1: I don't know why we need to bring that up. 104 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 1: You've stayed at that dealership. I love. I love to haggle. 105 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 1: I love the back and forth, waste salesman's time for 106 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 1: hours and then says just kidding and leaves. I like 107 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: to go in. Let's say a car is being sold 108 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 1: for thirty five dollars. I like to go in. I'd 109 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 1: like to look them in. They they get excited because 110 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: it's round barrigunady of course, Um, and I'll go I've 111 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,159 Speaker 1: got two grand cash and I'll slide it across the desk, 112 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: real slow, in a Manila envelope and they usually kick 113 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: me out. But um, but there's a thrill to that, 114 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 1: just for me. But you're saying most people, it's intimidating 115 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 1: to them. For most people, the average car costs about 116 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 1: a third of their net worth, so the car requires 117 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 1: financing as well. And the idea of going in and 118 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 1: you know, sort of negotiating with a dealer is certainly 119 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 1: something that modern consumers don't like a lot third of 120 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 1: their net worth. We'd love to have a net worth 121 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: in general. So as a result, most people end up 122 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 1: taking a car based on what they can afford on 123 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 1: a monthly basis. All the cars that we've got in 124 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: the app are presented on an all in, month to 125 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: month basis, so the car comes with a warranty, roadside assistance, 126 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 1: and standard maintenance, so you don't have to worry about 127 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 1: any of that. And we now also even offer auto insurance, 128 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 1: so it's truly a single cost of ownership except for fuel. 129 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 1: Let me ask this question, what if someone has a 130 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 1: negative reaction to their car and destroys it? Have you 131 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 1: have you come across that. I mean they just beat 132 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: up the car exactly. They take out a tire iron 133 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 1: and they just smashed the windshield, and it's like, oh, 134 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: they tricked me. I never wanted this car. I don't 135 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 1: think that would be good for anybody. That's not good 136 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 1: for us. And probably what you'll catch either, right, you'll 137 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 1: catch them. Ultimately, we will get there. I knew it. 138 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: They're going to get you, So don't do that any 139 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 1: Herbie fully loaded situations Herbie fully loaded where the car 140 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 1: goes to life? Oh right right? Was that a Disney movie? Yeah? 141 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: And then it was a Lindsay lowhand remake. I want 142 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: to get back to my car that I'm getting my 143 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 1: gift car? What color is it? Can you guys just 144 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: tell me? So? Is it going to have a ribbon 145 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 1: on it? I want I don't know if this is 146 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 1: a conversation for now, and when I I it, can 147 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 1: I keep the ribbon on it to show off that 148 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 1: I got a free car. I want you to be 149 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 1: prepared for there to be no car in what scenario 150 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: and and the scenario of reality. I want you to 151 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 1: be prepared for a car not to show up today. Okay, 152 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:21,599 Speaker 1: I'm gonna put air quotes around that. Um Scott, do 153 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: you miss One of the great things about car dealerships 154 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 1: are the the you know, the the inflatable floppy man. 155 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 1: You know what I'm talking about. That gets your attention listeners. 156 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,200 Speaker 1: You you probably will picture. How would you describe the 157 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 1: inflatable floppy man? Carolina? A body of skin without a 158 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 1: spine or bones in it? Yes, you see it end 159 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 1: and that's something or you'll see like an inflatable gorilla 160 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 1: or something like that. You know at at dealer do 161 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 1: do you get feedback that people are missing seeing those things? 162 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: They're still out there, believe it or not. The way 163 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: that our our business works is we rely on dealers 164 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 1: as partners, but we buy the car from them and 165 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 1: simultaneously let our users use the vehicles so they don't 166 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 1: have to go through any of the complication or the 167 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 1: confrontation with the dealer. We handle all of that. I 168 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,080 Speaker 1: want to get one of those inflatable guerrillas just to 169 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 1: put out in front of my condo. That I think 170 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 1: we can do, though, we can arrange for that because 171 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 1: they're not in demand nearly as much anymore. Okay, So 172 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: if I'm not going to get a free car from 173 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 1: you guys, free guerrilla would be I mean to have 174 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 1: that generator blowing throughout the night. Go Go, Go, Go 175 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: Go definite. But I think that I think that's a 176 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 1: nice trade off to have a fun inflatable guerrilla for 177 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: the whole neighborhood to enjoy. It will be a conversation. So, Scott, 178 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,960 Speaker 1: what what else would you like our listeners to know 179 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 1: about Fair Auto? You know, I think that the idea 180 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 1: of going into debt to buy a car, which is 181 00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,680 Speaker 1: what we all have to do. Um. The car is, 182 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:04,320 Speaker 1: for the most part, nine cars are a depreciating asset. Absolutely, 183 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 1: you drive it off the lot, it plummets. It does. 184 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 1: And almost all the risk in the car business has 185 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 1: been shifted to consumers over the last hundred years. We 186 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:14,199 Speaker 1: make them go get a car loan and go into 187 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 1: debt to cover all that risk. And I think the 188 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,200 Speaker 1: idea of becoming obligated to a car is really going 189 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 1: to be obsolete. I think the idea of being able 190 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 1: to get access to mobility on a month to month 191 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,320 Speaker 1: basis just like everything else in modern life. UM. I 192 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 1: have a sixteen year old son. He went through the 193 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: whole process and he was just like dad before fair 194 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 1: how did kids get cars? And it makes a ton 195 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 1: of sense. I mean, he doesn't have a job, he 196 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,320 Speaker 1: didn't have a bank account, he just got his driver's license. 197 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:43,839 Speaker 1: He goes through all these things and now all of 198 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:45,680 Speaker 1: a sudden he can get access to a car with 199 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 1: any kind of credit history and he pays month to month. 200 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 1: It's a great way for him to get a vehicle 201 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: until he gets ready to go to college. Can you 202 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 1: use PayPal? You can use any form of payment that's 203 00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 1: different Venmo, PayPal, Apple, pay all of It, pokers, anything 204 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 1: that we can do to get so poker chips from 205 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 1: a casino. I think ultimately we got to look into 206 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 1: every public good. Ron has a velvet bag of a 207 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,679 Speaker 1: velvet bag I have. I have a prediction that's going 208 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:17,320 Speaker 1: to be the currency of the future is poker chips 209 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 1: from Las Vegas casinos. You had an amazing night in Vegas, 210 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: did and you just forgot to cash your chips. I 211 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 1: was on such a roll, Scott, Oh my gosh, I 212 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: was at the crabs table for eleven hours. You are 213 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: a diaper. I wore a diaper, and oddly enough, this 214 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 1: is the first time we've met. But I kept screaming 215 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:41,560 Speaker 1: at the top of my lungs, Scott Pater as I 216 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 1: threw the dice. Yeah. I don't remember that part, but 217 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:46,679 Speaker 1: I believe you. Okay, I made that up. I was 218 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,080 Speaker 1: just trying to impress you. But yeah, I made about 219 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,680 Speaker 1: fifty dollars and I keep it in my mattress. And 220 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 1: you said, no, I have to go. I have to 221 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 1: take off my diaper as soon as possible. And I said, 222 00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 1: maybe you want to cash out your chick, no should 223 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,440 Speaker 1: go yeah. Well, but with a company like Fair you 224 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,080 Speaker 1: get to keep the fifty yes and then just get 225 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,959 Speaker 1: the car on an as needed basis. So the auto 226 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 1: industry are they mad at you for what you've created. 227 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 1: We're actually a sale to a car dealer or to 228 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 1: the manufacturer, so they're actually quite happy. They don't have 229 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 1: to pay for advertising, which is usually the largest expense 230 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 1: in selling a car. So when we buy a car 231 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,440 Speaker 1: from a dealer, it's a sale for them without any 232 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 1: advertising expense. I remember when I was living down in 233 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:32,320 Speaker 1: San Diego, I used to record jingles for Phil Everton 234 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:36,959 Speaker 1: Ford and that was part of their big advertising budget. 235 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 1: Phil Everton Ford, It's a great day to buy a Ford. 236 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 1: Phil Everton, and this was a career. I just what 237 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 1: do you mean? It was No, it was augmented my 238 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 1: salary as a broadcaster. Got it. Come on down to 239 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:56,960 Speaker 1: Phil Everton. He won't cheat you. He's honest, Phil. I 240 00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:01,440 Speaker 1: love it. Phil Everton. He he's honest. Even though he 241 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 1: only has one leg. He had he only had one leg, 242 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,439 Speaker 1: and he wanted that in the jingle. Well I improvised 243 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:11,080 Speaker 1: that one yeah, and I made sure they couldn't erase 244 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 1: the tapes, and then I said, if you don't use 245 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 1: this one, I'll sue you. But that's what I had 246 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 1: a lot of juice back then. Yeah. Um, Scott, we 247 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 1: can't thank you enough for coming in talking to us, 248 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 1: enlightening us, enlightening us. It's it's it sounds like an 249 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 1: amazing service, very easy. Can let me ask you this 250 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 1: final question? What if I were to purchase I guess 251 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 1: it's technically, Elise, it's it's technically elease or rental depending 252 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: on the state that you live in. Um, but you 253 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 1: know both are the same thing. You're not buying the car, 254 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 1: you're paying for the depreciation on a monthly basis. So 255 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 1: if I if I get my new car, I'm so excited. 256 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 1: And then I opened the trunk and I find a 257 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 1: couple of kilos of cocaine. Do what happens? Then? Do 258 00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: I get? Is that? Is that a problem that's been 259 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 1: happen It's it's not been a problem yet, Okay, until 260 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: we should think about all the possibilities out there that 261 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 1: could happen. Well, Scott Painter, thank you so much. CEO 262 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 1: and founder of Fair Auto with a beautiful name, Scott Painter, 263 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 1: Scott thank you for coming in and visiting us here 264 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 1: in person.

Okay, make 267 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 1: a big deal out of that. I think that could 268 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 1: work out interesting. Well, Oh so Carolina, you're wrong. I 269 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 1: am getting a free car, maybe for a month or two, 270 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 1: you know what, something like that. If it's for one hour. 271 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 1: If I can rub it into Carolina's face that I 272 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 1: got a free car, I would dance a jig.

You're very vigilant. 296 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 1: I had to guard it every day, Which leads me 297 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 1: to my first question, Um, do you think you're trustworthy? 298 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 1: Trustworthy enough to guard this? I don't put I guess 299 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,639 Speaker 1: the NHL in the Hall of Fame do because you 300 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 1: are being trusted with this outstanding I mean, does that 301 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,880 Speaker 1: ever make you kind of, you know, lose your mind slightly? 302 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 1: Actually it does sometimes, Yes, I mean especially when we're 303 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 1: traveling and flying around. Uh just the other day we 304 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,679 Speaker 1: couldn't find it in Denver and it was a little stress. 305 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,639 Speaker 1: Oh den Yeah, we were in Denver doing some press 306 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 1: and bouncing around promoting the playoffs, and uh, I get 307 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 1: to Denver and waiting for the bag to come out, 308 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 1: and it's not there. It's not there, and I'm like, okay, 309 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,159 Speaker 1: So I go and start dealing with the airlines and 310 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 1: they can't tell me where it is. And so luckily 311 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 1: I have a contact with Air Canada and I picked 312 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 1: up the phone and they could tell me where it 313 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 1: was and apparently it was in Denver, but it was 314 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 1: stuck on Wow, the Caver belt. Did you ask the 315 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,680 Speaker 1: officials there the Denver boat to shut the airport down? 316 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,879 Speaker 1: I did, actually, but they didn't didn't listen, okay, because 317 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,359 Speaker 1: that's what I would have run out onto the tarmac 318 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,919 Speaker 1: and tried to stop planes from landing. You know, it's 319 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 1: funny when when we're in the airport, so I do 320 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,360 Speaker 1: open it up, and it's always amazing to see the reaction. 321 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 1: Just actually, when I flying up to come up here 322 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,919 Speaker 1: last night, I was checking in, it was really quiet 323 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,240 Speaker 1: and I took it out for two employees to see it. 324 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:54,159 Speaker 1: Within literally twenty seconds, there was about people around.

I'm like, oops, that's 329 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 1: my mistake. I mean, when you brought this beautiful trophy 330 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:11,719 Speaker 1: into our recording studio here, I squealed like a fourteen 331 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 1: year old girl. It was weird. It was like I 332 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:17,920 Speaker 1: thought you had stepped on something. You thought I'd seen 333 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 1: a ghost, because that's how I react if I ever 334 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 1: see a go I see a lot of ghosts. Yes, 335 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 1: and that's with you that one time. That's what usually. Um. 336 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 1: Have you heard of an ice jackal before? By the way, No, 337 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 1: I haven't. Okay, well let's just leave it at that. UM, 338 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 1: now correct me if I'm wrong. But I've heard that 339 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:43,680 Speaker 1: this trophy is so revered, revered, revered, revered by NHL 340 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:48,119 Speaker 1: players that many who have not won it they refused 341 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,680 Speaker 1: to be in its presence. Is that is that accurate? 342 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:52,920 Speaker 1: Pretty true? I mean there are players that come around 343 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:57,919 Speaker 1: it but won't touch it. Um, quick story. Scott had 344 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 1: won three Stanley Cup Scott need Amer, he loves the 345 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 1: podcast Go Ahead, O excellent and his brother Rob when 346 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 1: they won together and oh seven, we were up at 347 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 1: their their summer house up in Cranbrook, British Columbia, and 348 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 1: Rob kept telling people I love it up there by 349 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 1: the absolutely gorgeous. Is that cottage country? Is that the 350 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,439 Speaker 1: same as a cottage country? That's God's country? Okay, alright, 351 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:21,120 Speaker 1: have you ever been to yellow Knife? I have? Okay, continue, Yeah, 352 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 1: I got a time share and yellow great, Um, Carolina, 353 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 1: you would love yellow Knife. They're flat and cold and flat, 354 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 1: yeah exactly, but it's it's a cool place. That's my 355 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 1: body type, flat and cold. Nothing. But Rob is telling 356 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 1: everybody they'd never touched the cup, and when his brother 357 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:41,680 Speaker 1: brought it back and I said, well that's not true. Rob, 358 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,439 Speaker 1: you kept kind of rubbing up against it, maybe not 359 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,119 Speaker 1: on purpose, and you know, so the superstition of touching it, 360 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 1: you know, didn't really affect you because you obviously wanted No. Seven. 361 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 1: But there are players that definitely will not touch it 362 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,920 Speaker 1: until they win it, and guys that have retired still 363 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,959 Speaker 1: feel weird about being around it. Meaning the players who 364 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,359 Speaker 1: were retired who didn't didn't win, they're like, yeah, Wendell 365 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 1: Clarke played for Toronto, great player. UM when he first retired, 366 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 1: didn't want to do a picture with it. He says 367 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,440 Speaker 1: he'll do pictures, but he will still not touch because 368 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 1: I never want it. I will never touch the Stanley Cup. 369 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,199 Speaker 1: For the female listeners out here, I feel like we 370 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 1: should follow any hockey player's name with single or in 371 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:20,399 Speaker 1: a relationship, okay, because you find them dreamy, don't you? 372 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 1: Who is the dreaming this guy in the NHL Carolina 373 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:27,360 Speaker 1: frequently goes to King's games and she loves blowing kisses 374 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,680 Speaker 1: at the players on the ice. There's a rugged handsomeness 375 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 1: to hockey players. They look like they could build you 376 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 1: a house and and get into an unprovoked fight for you. 377 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,639 Speaker 1: Now it knows you have you have white gloves on. 378 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 1: You have to handle the cup with white gloves. Yes, 379 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 1: it's part of the prestige, the respect for it, the protocol. Yeah, 380 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,199 Speaker 1: I I didn't win it. I just look after it. 381 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 1: And you don't You want to make sure that people 382 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 1: when you're carrying it outside of the buildings and you 383 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 1: know in the public, people know that it's you're the keeper, 384 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 1: not the guy that wanted and the white gloves. You 385 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 1: mentioned protocol. But I also read somewhere in my research 386 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 1: that it's because, uh, once someone was eating peanut butter 387 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,479 Speaker 1: out of a jar and they were like, oh dude, 388 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:13,359 Speaker 1: look it's a standy cup and they grabbed it and 389 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,920 Speaker 1: they got peanut butter all over it.

You can 415 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 1: be honest because we can addit to what we actually 416 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 1: have taken it to the supermarket a couple of times. 417 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 1: I did it. Once with Doug Waite in uh Long Island. 418 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 1: The White family wanted to reenact the picture of Angeelie 419 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,439 Speaker 1: Jolie doing they get through something on the tabloids, and 420 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 1: they wanted to reenact the shopping cart thing with the 421 00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,360 Speaker 1: cup in it, and so we did that, and then 422 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,200 Speaker 1: with Billy Aaron, who was an assistant GM with Pittsburgh, 423 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:04,640 Speaker 1: brought it to the supermarket to pick up some beer 424 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:06,200 Speaker 1: for his parties.

Why why is it called Stanley? Why not 435 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 1: Seymour or Ralphie. It's called Stanley because of Lord Stanley 436 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 1: was a gentleman who bought the trophy in eighteen forty 437 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 1: dollars and sixty seven cents.

He 446 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,440 Speaker 1: really didn't know it. But his kids grew up playing 447 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 1: the game in Canada, coming over from England.
