Introduction

In this lively episode of You Betcha Radio, the gang dives into a humorous yet relatable topic: handling bounced checks within the pest control industry. With their signature Midwest charm and comedic flair, Myles, Ryan, Tyler, and Jerrod explore various exaggerated strategies and share their unique takes on dealing with financial setbacks in a small business context.

Navigating Bounced Checks in Pest Control

Tyler Kicks Off the Discussion The episode begins with Tyler posing a tongue-in-cheek question that sets the stage for the ensuing banter:

Tyler [00:00]: "As a pest control professional, if a customer check bounces, should I put termites back on the property?"

Chad's No-Nonsense Approach Chad jumps in with a blunt yet humorous suggestion:

Chad [00:06]: "Undo the work power, wash all of the fucking spray. You did whole thing. Yeah, yeah."

Exploring Practical Solutions The conversation shifts towards more practical (albeit still humorous) solutions for handling bounced checks:

Chad [00:26]: "I think you need to stop accepting checks. I think you need to live in 20, 25 and just send them a link to pay."
Chad [00:32]: "Or just say you want a cashier's check."

Jake and Mike Weigh In Jake and Mike contribute to the discussion with equally playful ideas:

Jake [00:17]: "Pump their house full of bees?"
Mike [00:44]: "Yeah. I think you got to fucking take them to the ground. You have to at least double double leg, possibly single leg, depending on situation how they're standing."

Chad's Business Insights Chad offers a more business-oriented perspective, emphasizing client selection and payment methods:

Chad [01:04]: "Yeah, I think also, like, just choose better clients maybe. I don't know. Yeah, Hang out and hang out in nicer neighborhoods."

Humorous Confrontation Strategies

Escalating the Conflict The hosts escalate the humor by imagining absurd confrontational scenarios with non-paying clients:

Chad [02:17]: "You hand on the bill, and you're like, all right, before I hand you this bill, now for you, deal. You put me in a headlock, it's free. If you don't put me, you can pay this or you can fight me, put me in a headlock. It's free."

Physical Altercations as Leverage The discussion takes a comedic turn as Mike and Chad joke about using physical fights to enforce payment:

Mike [02:44]: "It's a great way to pad the street record too, because then no one's gonna fuck with you."
Chad [03:01]: "You know, it's so elusive."

Client Misadventures They further amuse listeners with the idea of only attracting MMA professionals as clients who might take advantage of their confrontational tactics:

Jake [03:06]: "Yeah, just like you're only, your only clients are MMA professionals and they just beat the out of you for free."

Shifting Gears: The Garbage Compression Idea

From Bounced Checks to Garbage Smashing Transitioning seamlessly, the conversation shifts to a completely different yet equally humorous topic—managing overflowing garbage cans:

Tyler [03:54]: "Does anyone else seem like the first three quarters of your garbage can fills in about two days, but the last quarter you can just keep smashing it down for about a week."

Innovative (and Silly) Solutions The hosts brainstorm inventive and absurd methods to tackle garbage overflow, showcasing their comedic chemistry:

Chad [04:58]: "We should just make a tool. This is a whole business that we just thought of—the human garbage just like smash her down."
Jake [05:09]: "Like a can crusher type thing."

Mocking Real-World Inventions They parody existing garbage compactor technologies, suggesting even more ridiculous enhancements:

Jake [06:01]: "They just press a button and it compresses it for you."
Chad [06:08]: "Well, just do a manual one way cheaper. You sell a little plunger for like 12 bucks."

Conclusion and Wrap-Up
