First thing Monday morning is a perfectly reasonable time to be reminded that we have to get out there and fight for what we want, you guys. Which, apparently, is to be the best at our jobs as salesmen of something. I did not know this, but did you know that we are all in a sales business? I never knew! Always Be Knowing That, you guys. Coffee is for people who knew that. Are you amped? Let’s just get a quick show of hands to see who is and who is not AMPED.
This week: let’s paint, exercise, fight, and convince Murray to give us the real leads, you guys. (Thanks for the tip, Ben.)

Simmer down, Chad…I’m way too hungover for that level of intensity
You’ve got to fight to get your head out of that yogurt cup.
this is like one of those giant’s Sam’s Club size tub of plain yougurt….i’m stuck in the bottom and can grip the walls to climb out
Seriously. Waaay too early for this level of intensity.
These guys know how to fight for what they want (but they are not interested in selling):
This guy knows what they’re talking about:
OH MY GOD I’M SO READY TO GO GIVE ME A SECOND TO FIND MY SHIRT AND STUFF LETS SELL SOME SHIT!
Always Be Vlogging
Watch us EXPLOOOOOOOODE!!!

This is one of many deleted scenes included on the “Slackers” BluRay.
There’s so much sadness in his eyes.
I was actually waiting for him to start crying.
He wasn’t too sad after he got the Gaskins to re-fi their home at 6.5% APR. YEEEEEAAAAAAHHHH, MOOTHERFUCKER!!!
but so much awesome in his words.
He just wants everyone to know that sometimes in life you’ve just gotta TAKE IT!
I’m glad he turned off the camera before blowing his brains all over the driver side window (just kidding; that didn’t really happen…probably).
Show of hands for those NOT amped! Oh oh me me!
Sales seems far too fighty for me. Is there any sales-related profession that is more hug-based? Or perhaps, if there must be some sort of altercation, it can be passive-aggressive comments about one’s sweater? Fisticuffs are not actually my strong suit, I fear.
Selling your paintings is WAAY more hug-based. Generally, you’re like, “Dude, you like my painting!”, and they’re like, “Yeah, so much so I want to pay to own it like forever!”, and then you exchange information and you’re like friends for life. I generally don’t armwrestle people to buy my paintings…. I save that for my boyfriend when I want to have sex. WHAT?! OOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Fuck that! You gotta FIGHT to sell your paintings! You gotta USE those brushes! USE that palette! You gotta MAKE ART HAPPEN! You gotta MAKE…ART…HAPPEN! Cause this world isn’t just going to sell art for you. Oh no. If you show your painting to someone and they say, “No thank you, I don’t need art right now,” you MAKE THEM BUY YOUR PAINTING! You THREATEN them with a WEAPON! You BASH the painting over their head! But you gotta MAKE ART HAPPEN!!!
HUG! HUG! HUG! HUG!
Geez. I’d hate to see this guy on cocaine.
I think he is. I totally think that is what this is all about. Who the hell else is that amped about their sales job first thing on a Monday morning and then videotapes it???
Once I finish some remodeling, I’m basically spending today lying flat on the floor because I am 95 and wrecked my back…can I “fight” by throwing a my goddog’s hedgehog?
My hands are down ’cause I’m amped!
No coincidence he’s from Texas, because that rickety old fence behind him is undoubtedly hiding a chainsaw massacre.

Oh good! I finally started a twitter for vg monster chat, so I can put it on here now. I’ll hit you up, wert.
Now this kid is motivational:
That guy sucks….real bad.
“This is your time! No go out there and take it!”
I love Herb Brooks Kid!
Go Sox!!
Okay, now I’m just exhausted.
this guy is TNTveryselly.
Wow, the Director’s Cut of Money Never Sleeps is very different.
This is the worst viral ad that I’ve ever seen for the Law & Order network.
Okay, I’m amped. What next?
I just tried to give this picture my wallet.
I’d be willing to be good money that he slept in that car.
Ugh, bet good money
Those garage door openers are for the house his wife kicked him out of. She changed the codes, but he’s holding on to them for when she lets him back into her life like he knows she will.
I had a job once where we were supposed to sell this energy drink/ juice to people. The company would pick us up in a van at campus (I was in college) and drive us to local Malls where we would approach people walking to their cars. Right before they let the van door open, a “team leader” would give us a speech very similar to this video. They usually played Queen or Jock Jams in the van. By the end of my first day we were politely asked to leave my mall security. My the end of my first week we were banned from every mall in Allegheny County. I was never paid.
Probably because you didn’t take it with a fight! What, you think life is gonna just give you what you want? Like money for a task performed is a legal obligation by an employer? Sad to say my friend, but you’re no TNT.
ok guys, who moved Chad’s Cheese?
He’s so amped because he’s been sleeping in the car ever since they foreclosed on his home. But now he got his AC/DC tape back from his ex-wife’s house and he is ready to conquer the world, immediately after he bathes in the Wendy’s restroom off I-80.
that’s so wierd, when someone mentions the name “Chad,” i always get a mental picture of a mid-level “salesman” coked up in his car on a monday morning making internet videos to get “amped” for a sale.
Although, I sense a very different tone to his next video when he reads the recurring notes of “I found his manic energy off-putting” on his comment cards.
Of course his name is Chad.
Chad Sexington, amirite?
I’m surprised Gabe didn’t make fun of his car or yard.
i had to check my company roster search to see if i worked with this guy. my boss sent out a very similar voicemail to all of our sales people recently. only he had the decency to use “For Those About To Rock” instead.
To be fair, the execution of this speech was much better when he did it in front of his bathroom mirror.
It’s weird that his bathroom mirror is also his rear view mirror.
Attention must be paid.
We’re going to need a bigger cocaine.
Shot on location outside his ex-girlfriend’s house.
At the very very beginning he wipes something from his nose and kind of rolls it around in his fingers. What do you think it is, facebook friends?
This guy speaks to me.
I can do it. I can make things right. I can lead. FUCK. I CAN MAKE THINGS RIGHT EVERY
SINGLE
DAY!!!
TNT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
We are TNT? Tits N’ Teeth!!
