Everybody keeps commenting here on the Blog that working at TeleBrands looks like a lot of fun. Well, I guess it depends on what your job function is, but I don’t think anyone here can deny that it beats shoveling hot tar out on Interstate 80. No doubt there are some every cool job functions here at TB and some equally good people to fill them. Since I started the Blog last year I’ve gotten to go to some great places and hang out with some terrific people.
Now some of you think that getting to write this Blog is way cool – which of course it is. But if you’re like my wife, you really don’t think this is much of a job. She’s waiting for me to put my resume out there and be a vice president of something, but that just ain’t gonna happen. I’ve been to Charlotte and LA over the past few months, been on TV and film a bunch of times, sat on the judges panel in Los Angeles, and have met a load of inventors who all think they have the next great product. And, I also get to ride in AJ’s Rolls Royce once in a while which really isn’t so terrible – trust me on this one. You know what, I am having a hell of a lot of fun so tough noogies honey, I’m staying put.
And after years of being the man in charge, AJ gets to finally have a little fun of his own, appearing on numerous TV and talk shows, news programs, and cool gigs like being on the show Pitchmen. And he even got to drop the puck for the opening faceoff at a hockey game! Just this week he appeared on the View and the late night show Chelsea Lately – a heck of a departure from selling eggs that scrape the dead skin from the bottom of your feet. But after 30 million units sold, selling Ped Eggs isn’t so bad.
Which leads me to the products that are tested and sold, which are not even remotely mundane in any respect. Look at Crazy Critters. It’s not like selling oven mitts or wingnuts. They’re cloth animals that kind of resemble road kill, but your dog can chew the bejeezuz out of ‘em and they won’t shred or leave stuffing everywhere! Pooches absolutely love them! The Perfect Fit Button is great… so you packed on a few extra pounds since Christmas… insert the Perfect fit Button and being a fatso was never so fun and easy! Go ahead, have that last 
hunk of pie, I’m not looking, I swear! Then there’s the Pasta Boat. Have you seen this yet? Probably the easiest, funnest, and most effective way to make any kind of pasta. Of course what could be better than Bare Lifts? Nice! Damn people, I think I have to say that TeleBrands is an amazing amount of fun. I mean if you’re gonna be in business, why not peddle Windshield Wonders and run around like a loon screaming BUT WAIT… THERE’S MORE, DAMMIT!!!
Hopefully I’ll get some of the cool behind the scenes people like Home Girl Sherrie and Wonderfully Mad Max to chime in on the comments. And how about you throwing a few comments this way too. Let’s get this social media party thing started, people, because I’m telling you that TeleBrands is where the fun is at!
Later y’all

Hey Sherrie, I see you only hang around with “hot” guys!
Good one, Richie!
I’m sure it’s very fun, but Tommy, I would imaging it’s also tiring doing all that running around. But like you said, it sure beats working on a road crew!
Does the Perfect Fit Button come in “double wide”? lol I may need it after the summer barbecues!
Julie, yeah, the travel is tiring but it’s not as much as you think. Don’t forget, I only report on the good stuff. You don;t hear about people filing reports and having lunch.
Hey Tommy, are you short or is the other dude tall?
Am I getting a little too personal here?
I wouldn’t exactly say I’m short, but Max is definitely tall. You won’t find a harder working guy than him.
Okay Max, you owe me five bucks for the compliment.
YES YES YES I ONLY DO HANG OUT WITH THE HOTT GUYS…..CAN U BLAM ME? DONT WORRY TOMMY I KNOW U ARE JEALOUS THAT UR NOT NEXT TO ME, BUT I PROMISE I WILL TAKE A PICTURE WITH U NEXT TIME. ALTHOUGH IT SEEM LIKE U ONLY LIKE TO TAKE PICTURES WITH MAX…HUUUMMMMM WHAT IS THAT ABOUT?
Do NOT question my Telebranded Manliness!
Hey Home Girl, what’s a woman like you hanging around with such a Devil? Just kidding Sherrie. What do you do at Telebrands? And is Tommy Z really insane?
Hey Fo… uhm, can I call you Fo? Sherrie is in charge of keeping me in line when I enter the building. And as for my alleged insanity, there are definitely some important chromosomes missing in my DNA. I’ll admit to that.
I can tell you Tommy used to play goalie for an ice hockey team. No such thing as a sane goaltender.
Very astute observation, Ron.
Im guessing that having to sit through some of the more “interesting” invention pitches, you might just have to be a bit nuts. Well im pitching on the 13th and im not sure if Tommy is going to be on the panel but if you are Tommy and I see you scratching your head, im pretty much screwed. Go easy on me man, after all, my invention is “the next big thing” right? No really, it is, dont judge me
Todd, We give everyone a fair shot and a lot of credit for pitching in front of AJ and the panel. You know what… it’s your one shot so go for it man! I’m rooting for you.
But hey, I just realized it’s next week and I’m away in Williamsburg VA with the wife and kids… so I’ll check in for sure to see how everyone did.
Thank Tommy! I appreciate it man. You you know the story, I must have ran my pitch through my head a million times. But anyways i hope to be able to shake your hand one day.
Thanks again Tommy and have a great vacation with the Fam.
Todd… where are you coming in from?
I live about an hour outside of L.A. in a city called Riverside, Ca. Im going to fly in from L.A.X. into Newark. Ive never been to N.J., and I cant wait to arrive!
The area surrounding Newark airport is a pit. Much nicer by the office. I live in North West Jersey – lots of trees and lakes. Very rural. You’ll drive right by the new Meadowlands Stadium where the Giants play.
Thats real awesome, im ready for football season to start back up, sorry to say my chargers wont let the Giants go too far, but hey at least ill get to see where they play, ouch! I google maps’d the area and man it looks real nice where you live, real green and relaxing. Wish I could stay longer and check out the east coast.
Tommy Z! I didnt see you there. you said you were on a family trip so I wasnt expecting you. But the pitch went great! They gave me a “plus” sign, and they seemed pretty pumped about it. AJ was a little tougher than the others were, but Im hoping he goes for it and they pursuade him haha. Everybody there was so great, home girl sherrie, andrea, max, everybody was so fun professional and great. I cant wait to hear back from them, hopefully its good news. Thanks everybody, and thanks Tommy Z
Todd… what’s your product?
Tommy, my product is called The Handle Pro. The 5 minutes came quicker than expected and Im pretty sure I missed a few key points, but Im sure hoping that I rambled off enough to get them interested. I told them that the only two shows that we have been to we have sold out both shows selling 75 the first show and 150 the second show, but what I didnt get off is that we have sold roughly 250 more sets outside of the shows to face to face sells and other ways. A.J. seemed very interested in the sales, and I regret not telling him that. Hopefully I get another chance to help persuade the decision. Well, all I can do is wait for a phone call, hopefully with good news. Thanks Tommy
