How to Negotiate Like a Pro (Even When It’s Awkward)

[@ryanthesetter]

The boat negotiation role play has me dead😂😂 George really is a character

[@pretbern3943]

Yup😂😂😂

[@WavyCurlyGina]

I stopped listening to the podcast just to start watching this part 🤣🤣

[@matthewrudomin]

Rick is a mighty good negotiator

[@sarahhunter2352]

I'm dying 🤣🤣🤣. Rachel not being able to keep from laughing is the absolute best. George played that role flawlessly.

[@MeghanDonnellyIPY]

I love when Rachel dies laughing! It's so infectious I start laughing too! 😂

[@FrenchCruller03]

"I recognize you!" "No you don't, Rick." 🤣🤣🤣

[@djhof0792]

Now do a negotiation where George sells a horse. Lol

[@donnahampton3632]

I am selling my car today. I need George here!

[@jinnydeluca]

I am DYING at "Rick" and Rachel's boat negotiation. Man! George is SO good at this! Pure comedy GOLD! I just.... wow! 😂😂😂

[@zorkon08]

"You ask anyone within a quarter mile radius, they'll tell you I'm the best in town" 😂😂😂

[@johnnymendez7853]

The boat role play is the funniest thing I’ve seen all week😂😂😂

[@lisamerriman255]

The role play was hilarious! George is great at improvisation and Rachel laughing uncontrollably just had me cracking up 😂

[@letsgrosh]

Okay the role playing is the hardest I’ve ever laughed on this podcast hands DOWN

[@JL-ds1pi]

Omg that little skit...😂😂😂😂 George, how on earth are you the way you are.

[@GeorgeKamel]

I can’t believe this show is free.

[@carnivore_princess]

Hi George! Great show and congratulations to you and Whitney on the birth of your daughter!

[@margie909]

George - dad shoes!! I love it!

[@mca568]

Our washing machine broke during lockdown. We ordered a new one online and for 1 month I dragged incontinence pads and bedding to the laundry mat every day. It was stressful and I was good sport until the new washing machine showed up and it was broken! My husband went to the store. They said it would take another month for the same one so he asked for the one I really wanted but was out of our budget range. Got the more expensive one plus a discounted base for the same price we paid and it was delivered the next day. Now I always try to exercise my negotiation muscle but he was my hero that day.

[@AMeglathery1]

I listened to this on Spotify but felt so compelled by George's roleplaying at the end that I had to come on here and compliment it. The "well, my dad Rick Sr.--" line was such an iconic DM move. 'I'm roleplaying this NPC and your out-of-character comment is going to completely influence the scene' LOL I loved it.

[@Katiecr87]

Oh my word!! I was trying to exercise while watching but that negotiation had me laughing too hard to keep going. 😂🤣😂 Totally made my day!

[@RachelCox]

More role play scenario segments please....so hilarious! I feel we need more "Role Play Recaps" towards the end of each episode that warrants one! Fun way to lead into wrapping it up before "Guilty As Charged" then closing time. Ya'll are so fun and relatable and makes real life adulting more enjoyable.

[@ScottDaileyYOUTUBE]

boat negotiation might be the best thing I've seen all week !😆

[@AncientLemomTree]

My husband just went to purchase new wheels for both of our cars and when he heard the total he simply said “is that the best you can do?” And the employee immediately gave him $400 off.

[@FrenchCruller03]

Oh my gosh I almost died laughing at the role playing!🤣🤣🤣 You guys were so good!! You should do that in every episode!

[@briansamaniego-howard1806]

She almost slipped an "oh Shi-" 😂😂😂

[@jaichang6847]

I have never laughed 😂 as hard from a KZbin video as I have just now! Thanks for the laugh and for the gold mine on how to do negotiations. Definitely taking notes!

[@TheLucky17]

Omg me too!!! Never!!! After that boring game i almost clicked off this video

[@DonaldRankin-n7u]

The role play was priceless...I was laughing so hard I was crying! I love this podcast!

[@PowerfulMoneyHabits]

I don’t haggle. Thank God my hubby does! I say what I want and for what price and I walk away and he does all the work! He’s a pro and loves it!

[@OopThereItIs77777]

I’m wife but I also jump right in & haggle. My husband is super manly & all of the things, but I love to negotiate so I immediately start & he just stands there as the sales person keeps waiting for him to jump in since he’s the “decision maker”

[@b.c.2836]

@@OopThereItIs77777 Lol, little do they know, we make the decisions (and the husband supports us)

[@OopThereItIs77777]

@@b.c.2836 Lol it 100% turns them on

[@lampshades5436]

The role playing was absolutely hilarious!

[@nathalyhernandez8658]

Rest in power Rick!!! 😂 thanks for a good laugh this morning

[@A2thaLO]

Businesses are not ashamed to take our money, they're not looking out for my interest. So I have no shame requesting a discount. I'd say 60% of the time, I get a discount because I am bold enough to ask for one. The trick is to do it with confidence and respect.

[@lmor7110]

I almost choked on my tea, that boat purchase role play was the best 😂

[@davidcarney9183]

I’m with Rachel. Laugh so hard I cried! Lol 😂 One of the best episodes! If ever do best of… this be one for it.

[@themanfromoregon6047]

Usually when someone tells me they've had a family member pass my first reaction is "did they die on a boat?" Lol

[@teresateresa8933]

Omgoodness, that boat negotiation was so FUNNY!!

[@sydneygray1331]

George is rocking the New Balance Dad shoes!!!!

[@margie909]

I couldn't get past his dad shoes!!!!!! They threw me off cometely! They had to have been worn on purpose, someone roasting him about becoming a dad dared him to wear them on camera.

[@ellenhedrick1]

Great episode! I am not a negotiator so I appreciate George’s tips. “Be kind, please rewind.” Too funny! 😂

[@kaylahspann7528]

Can’t believe how hard y’all made me laugh on this one! 😂

[@mr.13eefy]

Hilarious episode! Thank you for the laugh. I can’t haggle anything but at least I have the tools now.

[@nmenonm]

George, you are the champ and Rachel is the dark horse in negotiation, Winston drops her in as the cool don't care negotiator when he needs it :)

[@mikelikesbikes]

This is the first episode I have watched and I have been laughing for 20 mins. Great content 😂

[@vip3rpl]

i lost it on the late Rick's passing 🤣

[@BabuSanii]

Always ask for a discount. Whenever I walk into a store, I ask a store representative if they have any ongoing sales or discounts. Also, if there's a particular item you're interested in, inspect it closely. Sometimes, there might be a scratch, dent, or other aesthetic defect. These minor issues don't affect the functionality of the item, but stores are often willing to offer a discount because of them

[@MDT739]

Thanks for the great laugh this morning - ya’ll are great!

[@Lobsterbob2390]

George, you are hilarious sir. "Ricks's used quality boats"

[@NaturalWifeyandMamaBear]

Thanks for the laughs 😂 loved the role play, “Rick and Dicks” 😝

[@joanebf]

I'm crying with Rick 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@itsnotyouitsme82]

The comradery between the two of you is priceless, I can only image how much fun you all have at work!

[@dynaryda8857]

4:15 Did Rachel try to say Ariat?? 😂😂

[@sapatosgirl22]

the boat negotiation had me crying 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@katrinaglen]

This may be my favorite episode of Smart Money Happy Hour ever. I love George and Rachel.

[@liandajane3207]

I love Rachels faith and how every day things remind her of scripture its inspiring ♡ "send me"

[@julieb6680]

😂😂😂😂😂…. I can’t….George is great…stayed in character. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@pamp212]

Absolutely hilarious! I’m a bit George and a bit Rachel though. I struggle to steel myself to the salesperson’s personal backstory and the best advice is “if you haven’t sold the “item” in a month give me a call”. I’ve gotten calls within days of walking away.

[@NohSpinZone]

I listened to this on podcast and I must have been quite a sight laughing my tail off walking my dog down the street. That negotiation scenario was gold. 😂😂😂

[@ismaelsalinas887]

That was very funny 😅😅😅 good job Rachel & George!!

[@blakeharrison3972]

The Target return happened to me, they said I could return at any location it just has to be the next day

[@metaltera86]

The “if i give you a google review will you give a discount” is sweet advice

[@michaelahart904]

GEORGE!!!! I’ve had this happen to me at target!!!! I didn’t know about the no receipt game, would’ve saved me another trip. You are doing the Lord’s work 😂🙌🏼

[@JeremyKorzo]

We gotta get “The art of returning things to the grocery store” Episode 😂 and other places.. You guys rock!!

[@ShashadGujaran]

This was a LEGENDARY episode :P

[@katmarie128]

George is hysterical!! 😃😃😃

[@glostergloster6945]

On the house example, my wife is exactly the same, she gets emotionally invested. We recently bought a new car, and I had a plan in my head to get a pretty aggressive discount, she blew my plan out of the water in the first 5 minutes by saying to the salesman 'Oh we love that car'. You could literally see the dollar signs in his eyes light up.

[@OopThereItIs77777]

I have saved thousands & thousands by negotiating everything. Grocery store. Regular store. Thrift. Garage sale. I’ve never been told no either 😳🤷‍♀️😎 That’s why you gotta ask. Don’t leave money on the table. It’s all in how you ask.

[@laurens7431]

Amazing tips ... for negotiating and life overall. Dang.

[@wendybrunori9886]

I’m seen many episodes of SMHH and this by far is the funniest/most entertaining EVER!! 🤣😂

[@janae09]

We NEED Dave to react to the roll play segment!!!

[@ZiggyMoney911]

These two! So smart and comical!😂

[@Pandorash8]

Ric was a pro! And so was George! And Rachel did well to walk away. I’m not a haggler at all. But I am very good at stalking a good deal. I will stalk an item I want for years in order to get it on sale. My late husband was a lot like George and a very shrewd negotiator. I miss him. It might have made me cringe a few times, but it also saved us a lot of money. Great episode as always 👏🏻

[@TalysaV]

😂😂😂 the role playing omg lol 💀

[@nmenonm]

You guys are the bomb !!

[@JoshuaBrennan57]

Lmao loved the role play. I was literally cracking up in the car

[@adner2020]

Just an insight that many people don’t know. When you return a banana or an avocado bag the store doesn’t pay for that they discount that to the farmer. (That’s why they have no problem receiving a bad item back) Meaning the farmer in most instances does not get paid until the produce get sold.

[@tduck828]

Banana and avocado bags?? What on earth?? We definitely don't have these in myarea!

[@nancyceballos3775]

They don’t. I did the bills at a major grocery store. For 5+ years. You get invoiced for the groceries you buy. The person in charge of receiving the grocery/food needs to inspect it. Once they signed off as good produce you get the invoice to pay. If the produce doesn’t arrive in good quality you return and don’t put it on your shelves. Once the product is out for sale then it becomes the stores issue and they deal it with whatever it’s their policy. Once in a great while you do have to return the whole pallet of produce because it goes bad in a day. But it’s rare since you get most of the produce not ripe..

[@kellyeea]

I love Thursdays! You both are so fun to watch and always great content!

Not Rick's stepbrother Dick 😂😂😂

[@bradmitchell5217]

This is so good! Haha they made me laugh so hard!!!😂

[@ericl6386]

George is really a funny guy 😆 When he told he did not care about rejection after highschool I felt that. I think as a guy you face way more rejectian as a woman which could leed to better negotiating and not being afraid of rejection. This is not a comment to bash women or anything like that , just something I observed over the years in my own life

[@leilacavender4066]

For sure in our household we are a Whitney/George scenario. Haggling is like so cringy for me but my husband loves to negotiate lol.

[@akamarista]

Awesomeeeee😂😂😂😂 you guys made my day 😂😂😂😂

[@anya8221]

You're giggles were great

[@lisafehr8941]

Oh I laughed so hard at the end😂

[@Cybertrucker1]

Wow the boat negotiations lmbo!!!!😂 Racheal you did horrible!

[@donnaallgaier-lamberti3933]

I'm 73-year-old woman.....I never knew I COULD negotiate (for appliances, new clothing etc.) unless the event is a flea market or a home price. I imagine that haggling is a challenging thing for George.

[@Hannahcheering]

I have never laughed so hard! I listened via podcast the first time and had to come back to the video to watch it. I love have laid-back this podcast is.

[@bradmitchell5217]

Highly entertaining!!!

[@username9999]

I've only been to Michael's twice in the last 5 years, so I'm not signed up for their mailing list. But, I know that store usually has good coupons. When I buy something i say "I didnt bring any coupons, do you have one I can use?" I got 20% off my entire purchase.

[@teresateresa8933]

My absolute best one, McDonald’s had the cheese burger on special and it was cheaper than the hamburger. I ordered cheeseburgers with the cheese on the side, for us.

[@Sara_The_Feral_Housewife]

I bought an item at Target that I could not try on bc they had closed their changing rooms bc of COVID. I got home and it didn't fit. I took it back to exchange and they refused bc of "COVID". So I walked back to the section, put my item back and grabbed my size and walked out. Still don't feel bad about it.

[@janelleg597]

Ha wow

[@tduck828]

I would not either. Screw em

My husband asks for the friends and family discount. It works. We end up saving at jewelry stores, furniture stores and appliance stores.

[@maddiebartley9994]

I am happy to say that I was able to negotiate $100 off a handyman quote with these tips!! I was thinking “what would George do” 😂

[@CJ2023Incognito]

I relate to Rachel but inspire to be more like George on this topic. Currently negotiating a 4k medical bill and the person goes, well how much were you thinking. You guys I didn’t have a predetermined number!!!!!!! Ugh. So caught off guard. Talked them down to $700. Lol yes, something, but considering the circumstance, could’ve been better. Just getting the nerve to call for me was a big deal.

Great job guys, very entertaining 🎉😂
