For this week’s Wednesday Workshop, we’re answering some fan mail. Who knew that the Beard and the Hair had so many fans?

Most importantly, we answer questions about what we’re doing at NADA this weekend – so make sure you check out the video and learn all about the awesomeness we have planned

In this week’s Wednesday Workshop we’re reading fan mail,.. Yep, you heard it right, we’re reading fan mail electronic or other.

We had no idea you guys had so many questions for the Beard and the Hair, but we’re happy to answer a few honestly today.

First question today is from Ali and Amir: How come Ali and Amir are never in your Wednesday workshop videos?

Well guys… as with all great film creations, cuts have to be made in the editing process and while either Ali or Amir have been in the original shoots for ALL of our Wednesday workshops, we’ve had to cut their parts for various creative reasons. Keep looking for them though as I’m sure they’ll make the cut some time in the future.

Next up a question from Clint: Do Greg and Shaun use and/or recommend any beard and hair products?

Great question Clint! I actually treat my beard thrice daily with a special rare oil made from baby tears, Wild Cherry Pepsi and ground up shark teeth.

Do you use any product to make your hair crazy?

Our next question comes from Charlie in Seattle. Charlie wants to know if Happy Hao Car will be at NADA this weekend.

Hmm… you know what they say Charlie there are no stupid questions, but there are a lot of inquisitive idiots.

We love you and we love Seattle Go Hawks! Of course we’re going to be at NADA. We won’t just be there, this will be our biggest representation ever at NADA. Greg, drop some NADA bombs on these people…

For starters, we have a brand new super kick ass booth this year, so we’ll be able to accommodate more dealers. If you’ve visited the Happy Hao Car booth before you should expect more of the same: a place to kick back and rest your feet, a place to get a drink and some of the best people you’ll meet in the car biz. Plus… we’ll shooting future Wednesday Workshop videos, so let us know if you’d like to get on camera with us.

Hey Shaun aren’t you speaking this year?

But we do have three awesome speakers this year. Greg will be dropping it hot on automotive SEO, Jeff Clark will be presenting Digital Secrets That Fill Service Lanes and Ali Amirrezvani will be presenting Killer Mobile Marketing Strategies That Drive Sales. You don’t want to miss any of these guys and make sure you get to their workshops early or you might not get a seat.

We also have some wicked cool promotions. You still have time to pre-schedule a demo and if you show up at the booth for the demo you’ll get $100 bucks. If you sign up at the show for any of the BIG three… (Website, SEO, SEM) then we’ll give you an iPad or an Apple Watch. Pretty cool, huh?

That is cool Shaun, but you know what’s even cooler? If you stop by the booth and grab one of our new Happy Hao Car t-shirts, then you shoot a creative selfie in it, then you share it on Facebook or Twitter, you could win an Apple Watch! But wait, there’s something even cooler…

That’s right Greg – we’re also we’re also making a $200 donation to the PaulieStrong foundation in the name of every dealer that signs up for one of the Big 3 at the show.

But come on Shaun tell them about our party!

Our super top secret, uber exclusive after AFTER hours party on Saturday night.

Sounds awesome. Where is it?

It’s at Dino’s Lounge down at the end of the strip.

We’re throwing a karaoke party from 11PM to 4AM. We’re even having a karaoke contest at midnight. Somebody’s gonna win $500 cash.

If you want free drinks and all access make sure you stop by the Happy Hao Car booth early because there’s a limited number of passes available.

So that’s a wrap on all the info and thanks Charlie for the question that required the longest answer EVER.
