Comedic skit about loan approval from @hardmoneyman_isperov

A man approaches a hard money lender named Vladimir for a loan to flip a house. Instead of a financial check, Vladimir's associate performs a physical 'inspection' of the applicant's kneecaps. Once the kneecaps are approved, Vladimir tells the man to take the money from a large pile on his desk, then breaks the fourth wall to advertise his services as a 'hard money man'.
