Painkiller Already - PKN #59

Episode Date: October 9, 2015

We welcome another brand new PKN for all of you to enjoy!

All right, welcome to Painkiller Nearly, episode 59. 59? Almost 60. Almost 60, but more importantly, almost 250 PKA's. That, dude, it's been a really long journey. Like, to 250 PKA's, like... There just aren't that many podcasts left standing in this community you know like it okay we i think it's safe to say we started because hutch c nanners and trumpy made a podcast and it's called

host migration and i watched every one i watched every one and then you know like a fan although i wasn't a douche i never said. If they didn't do it one week, I was really bummed out. You know, I was like, yeah, I really want to watch this. I'd listen to them on the airplane and stuff. And when Wing suggested we do a podcast, and I've told this before, I almost didn't feel worthy.

Like that was why I said no originally. Yeah, it's like, who's going to listen? Yeah. Like why? Who would watch us? And now, yeah, all those, you know, PTFO, host migration, Gentleman's Choice. You remember that one?

Pyro? I know who was on it. Yeah, X-Cow. X-Cow. Yeah, to be honest, I've never listened to any other podcast ever, ever. I've never listened to Joe Rog podcast ever ever um i i've never listened to joe rogan or any of that stuff and certainly not any of our competitors or early on uh contemporaries or

whatever i don't listen to a lot of stuff i don't like being influenced or shaped by what anybody else is doing like i don't watch anybody's gun youtube videos like i'll meet other guys that make gun videos and they'll be like did you see my thing did you see my thing and i'm just like i'm sure your thing was good, but like, I've never seen one of your videos in real life because I don't want to be influenced by what you're doing over there. I want it all up here.

When I was making a lot of gaming videos, that used to happen to me too. Like, if I didn't watch people's stuff, then all my ideas were mine. If I did watch people's stuff, then it seemed like all I wanted to do was my version of that thing. That's what's's happening so if I were to start making videos right now right if someone said Woody we need two or three a week from you like giddy up

I've been watching the vlog brothers are you familiar with them at all I've heard that name I know they've got a YouTube channel but I don't I really don't watch any YouTube videos besides like fail blog okay, so the people behind vlog brothers is two brothers and They're both very smart. I'm gonna throw a guess out and say they're both about 30 ish. Maybe a little older and The older one is like incredibly successful like as a human like he has two movies now One of them paper towns and the other one uh like some cancer remember when hope got to the movies and i refused to go because uh it was about like two kids that had cancer and fall in love and i think they both die and i was like i totally don't want to see that movie. It was John Green's, one of the Vlogbrothers.

And it was a hugely successful and well-received movie. I still haven't seen it. But I look at their videos and I want to do mine. Like they briefly mentioned marriage or something and it's like, I want to get up there with good lighting and a bright background and do my video on what I think makes a successful marriage. I want to do my video on this or my video on that.

And sometimes I look at their stuff and it's so good. I really like their stuff that I think I don't want to do that one. I feel like it'd be a bad copy of that. But anyway, yeah, that's the kind of thing i think about doing lately and i was thinking about like making call of duty videos again like cod commentaries but i think it's a dead genre like it just tells me that like most of the there's pretty much no cod commentaries now if there are some it's the vlogs that people come to like it just turns out they started as a cod commentator but they really like the commentating part and that's why they like

them the phase clan apparently i'm told um it's not about games anymore it's that people really like the people behind it turns out they're very charismatic and stuff um yeah anyway well i don't know go, I don't know. Some people might want to watch an old Call of Duty commentary, or a new Call of Duty commentary. I like Wings. I saw when the beta was out, he made a handful of videos, and I really

enjoyed those, every one of them. It's new content, obviously. I'm learning about the game, and I was interested about the game. But I thought he did a good job on them, and I like those videos, and I like the the game, and I was interested about the game. But I thought he did a good job on them, and I like those videos. And I like the new game. I played the beta, I don't know how many games. I think I'm at level 15, level 18, somewhere in there.

So I got a couple hours, but not much. I'm excited about the new Call of Duty. I want it sooner rather than later. Yeah. Maybe we should do something about that. PKA. Become the world's shadiest Call of Duty distributor. Yeah, absolutely. The second we get it,

you'll get it. I remember when we started thinking about doing that. It's been years now. It was right before, maybe it was before Modern Warfare 2 came out. Yeah, I think it was because I was playing Call of Duty 4 while we were having this discussion.

The idea was to become a distributor of video games that way, wherever these things get pressed at, when they're actually constructing, manufacturing your game, then they go to the distributor. That could be you. They go to Best Buy, they go to Walmart, and they go to

Matt's house. You just got a thousand of them. The minimum order we found out was pretty high like like maybe a few hundred copies yeah like 600 or something yeah and it was like oh what are we gonna do with 600 copies and one of us was like i don't know maybe sell them to our millions of fans it was like hmm maybe we can make 100 grand a season doing this but it seemed pretty shady I wonder how big the fine is you just have to write that into your budget I don't think there is a fine

I think they'll just take away your distributorship I don't think you'll be able to distribute anymore because it's not a law we need to make a unless you agree to it unless it's part of your contract like there's a punishment. But maybe we make a shell company.

Like PKA Gaming. Or PKA Distributors. And then it's like, sue the fuck out of that company. It ain't got no money. You win. It went under. It's dissolved. I think that'd be funny.

I think we should fund that. I'm sure Chiz would be happy to get on that paperwork. He would enjoy creating a shell corporation, I'm sure. He could be the owner of the shell corporation, as far as I care. It's my preference.

Yeah, me too. Back in the day when I was talking about the flamethrower company, I was like, hey, Jeremy, you want on a flamethrower company? I don't want on a company. Everybody needs a fall guy. But yeah, that would be really cool. I don't want to get in any real life trouble or anything for

stealing games or giving games or selling games earlier than you're supposed to. Breaking the street date, yeah. Breaking the street date, but if there was a way where we could say get, imagine if we made that a Patreon. Can you turn the gain on your mic down a little bit? I'm told that I was too quiet last time.

I'm supposed to have this resolved. Oh, that's a good call. All right. You think? Can I get a longer mic check? One, two, three, one, two, three. Let's try that. Let's try that for a while.

Yeah, yeah. Sorry, people, for the first seven minutes of this. All right. it's down. That's been horrible. That wasn't good. Oh, John Jones. We thought they were going to really send him up the river after he was high on the cocaine and had the cocaine in his possession, I think,

and then caused... You remember what happened better. I know there was a traffic accident, but maybe... He was on drugs, it would seem, and he hit a woman. It just happens that that woman was pregnant. A pedestrian or a driver? A driver. And he hit her hard enough that he broke her arm. Thankfully, I think she's delivered the baby since then. Thankfully, the baby's fine uh but um but he broke her arm and have you been in any car accidents lately never one never one well i've been in i don't know 15 car accidents or something well you i mean you ride with jackie a lot yeah so uh i keep figuring three a year for like 20 years almost um so um this bugs anyway

it uh it takes a lot to like hurt somebody in a car accident nowadays these things are pretty well padded there's air everyone has airbags now in the front and a lot of people got airbags on the side and stuff. It turns into a giant fucking marshmallow. Like they drop down. Cars are safe. So yeah, he really had to whack her good to break her arm.

18 months probation, right? And then he hit her so bad that he broke her arm and then he ran from the scene. He broke her arm and then he ran from the scene he just took off and started running and on foot on foot and then he realized he left something behind i forget what it was so he ran back to the scene he grabbed it and then he ran off again which shows a real kind of like thoughtfulness like like you know like this is a very premeditated yeah this guy didn't have a wreck and like get all like get real fuzzy from a

concussion and just wander away into the park he got away and he's like oh shit did I leave my MMA gloves that I saw I had to run back get the John Jones side sign gloves out of the car yeah it's totally what happened so he what he did he pled guilty to one count of leaving the scene of an accident a fourth degree felony there's no drug charges there's no like vehicular uh assault or i don't know what could have been thrown at him but um yeah just one count of leaving the scene of an accident and his punishment is 18 months probation and that's it and uh it pretty much nothing yeah um that's that's pretty much nothing at all that's um we

were talking about caitlin jenner earlier because i thought it was so awful that she was on the cover of vanity fair driving a car when she's about to face those charges where she killed that person in traffic. She rear-ended another driver. At the time, it was Bruce Jenner, but Jenner rear-ended another vehicle while towing some kind of a dune buggy in a trailer in an SUV,

pushed that car into oncoming traffic, and then that driver died. And then on the Van vanity fair in that red dress driving that car that's not a woman have you ever done anything like that like what tone tone a dune buggy so i was towing my rock crawler and people don't know this is like a four-wheel drive dune buggy uh it has bigger tires it's a little heavier and such, but it's a four-wheel drive engine and roll cage and tranny. And not the Bruce Jenner kind of tranny, different kind of tranny. Anyway, so I had had like 10 minutes of towing experience at this point.

Like I didn't know. But the trailer had brakes and I had a brake controller and I turned it up high. And it was like I couldn't stop without locking up the trailer brakes. You know, I I'd hit the brakes and oh, and I'm going downhill toward a red light. What kind of vehicle were you driving? Your truck? Yeah. The Tacoma was pulling another car, which is a little much for it.

Taking it to the limit, yeah. Taking it to the limit. And it was a custom-built trailer that wasn't any bigger than it had to be. And it was like right there within like 100 pounds plus or minus of what it was rated to tow. And anyway, I couldn't seem to brake properly. And the me of today would probably have been able to quickly adjust the trailer brakes or something. I don't seem to brake properly and the me of today would probably have been able to quickly adjust the trailer brakes or something I don't know but um or maybe adjusted before I got on any kind of road but the bottom line is the trailer brakes weren't very effective one it

was only one of the two axles and two they'd lock up instantly and it seemed like I like I didn't want to hit the truck brakes too hard because the trailer brakes were locking up. But I didn't hit the brakes. If I made it so that they didn't lock up, then the truck wasn't braking as hard as it could have. And long story short, I went skidding and honking through an intersection. It was like a T-shaped intersection. And the light had just turned red on me like i just missed it so um i guess people were still on the lookout you know like it turns green and you kind of just

keep an eye out and me towing another car honking and squealing the tires and no one was like i'll go anyway so so but the reason i tell this story like I did something very similar the real difference is thankfully no one was in front of me and uh you know no one pulled into the intersection when I ran a light let me see what Bruce was driving when he had this wreck what was Bruce Jenner driving when he had this wreck what was bruce jenner driving when he crashed he was in an escalade plenty of towing power i i don't know why he was so bad and i'll tell you what i did i it like before i went anywhere with that thing i put trailer brakes on both axles so it was on one I

had put on the other axle and then it break much better the trailer was able to sort of handle itself and the truck could handle itself and everything stopped fine but the Escalade is a perfectly fine tow rig for a dune buggy yeah that's like a that's a full-size truck basically I didn't some images I didn't realize that the the kardashians were jenner's kids or something they're his stepkids his stepkids yeah so he married kardashians like the parents yeah well yeah he married their mother i see is the mother famous too or does it start with kim um i don't think the mother's famous.

I mean, she is now because of the show, but I think it started with Kim. The father was famous. The father was on the OJ trial. I swear I don't remember. I remember Johnny Cochran, and I remember, who was the guy? He was Jewish. What was his name? Not a handsome man. Firm Mark.

I don't know. It was Jewish. What was his name? Not a handsome man. Firm Mark. I don't know. It was 1994. I was eight. O.J. Simpson. Lawyers. Furman. Alan Dershowitz is who I'm looking for. Yeah, it's funny. Johnny Cochran and Alan Dershowitz came out of it famous.

I do not remember Robert Kardashian, Robert Blazer, Robert Shapiro. I briefly kind of remember that name. Lee Bailey. I started the only time I heard about Kim Kardashian because she was a friend of Paris Hilton's like in 2001, 2002.

And she was just casually mentioned on some entertainment news bullshit or something or another. And then she had the sex tape, which obviously rocketed her to some sort of stardom, I suppose. And now she's making, you know, she makes a video game

and she makes $8 or $10 million, it seems like. Anything she does, that app, it's a phone game. Made millions and millions of dollars. Everything they do, they're incredibly successful at. You know

Caitlyn Jenner, formerly Bruce Jenner, has her own TV show now, right? No. Kitty has purchased this thing the first season on Amazon or something, and I started watching this thing, first season on Amazon or something and I started watching this thing dude

and in no way is she a convincing female at any point like the episode I watched she's an Olympic athlete she's a male gold medalist dude the episode I watched Kim Kardashian shows up to like visit with

Caitlyn and she brings along this other girl who's black and it's probably famous too for something she could be an r&b singer she could be a model i don't know she looked vaguely familiar in any case they all the three of them sit down around like these bar stools in the uh in the kitchen and caitlin's like maybe you could give me some tips on how to be more feminine and the black shit goes well you know when you're eating you know a man eats different than a woman you don't want to be very feminine you want to be very conscious of how you're eating i'm just imagining like ah like her eating a whole turkey leg like i feel like she was remembering something that caitlin had done

like i eat hot wings like a Mongolian. Not a convincing female at this point. The surgery is freakish looking to me without perfect angles and touch-ups. When it's filmed with whatever they filmed the show with, even though it's still seeming like they're going for good angles and there's some lighting, I can see that there's unnatural stuff going on under her skin. And I can see that they've shaved the Adam's apple. And that I can do a much more convincing female accent.

And I think you can too. This is my female accent. Oh my god, that's so much better than Bruce Jenner's. I, um, the thing about Caitlyn Jenner is a lot of people are making her out to be a hero. And I am perfectly willing to accept the sex change. I really am.

It's none of my business. It's not causing problems. There's no victims in this thing. If it makes her happy, knock yourself out. She could change herself into a table, a chair, a dog, a girl. All of these things are fine to me. If she said that her inner spirit was cat,

and then they had surgeries to make her more cat-like or lizard-like or anything. Like on It's Always Sunny. I don't know. I don't remember that. I'm sure I saw it. But if that was her inner thing, then go for it. I just don't get why she's a hero for it. That's what that whole first episode of South Park was about.

It was about Kyle not thinking that she was a hero. He's like, I don't think she's a hero. It's bullshit. And that's the main driver of the whole episode, them talking about that a lot. Then in the second episode, of course, Caitlyn Jenner shows up in a car and just completely crushes another human being with the car in the most brutal, gory way possible. Their depiction of Caitlyn Jenner is pretty spot on. That cat tongue thing. She looks real fucked up.

Much worse than in real life. So they had some fun at her expense. Oh, did that just happen? A second episode came out last Wednesday. The third episode will be tomorrow. There are two episodes out so far. I thought I saw a South Park gif of a person running over somebody. Yeah, I sent that to you.

That's Caitlyn crushing someone. I had no idea what the context behind that was. Wow, it's part of my job to keep up with current events. I should have picked it up, but I didn't. I'm a South Park fan anyway, so I've never thought that they did a bad season there's been a few episodes here and there that I just didn't laugh at I just you know I thought they were smart in some places but it just didn't make me

laugh I never laughed out loud the first two episodes of this season really are setting the bar quite high the second episode had me laughing out loud like the whole time Islam related do you remember the premise of it they well this political correctness is at the core of it um tom brady was part of

they get they get really topical and there's lots of stuff going on so they'll be they'll hit on like caitlin jenner bill cosby political correctness and uh like um the like syrian refugees all in the same episode so it's kind of a mishmash of things but the one driving force that seems to be different this year is that they're really going after political correctness any way they can and they're uh they're pointing out that it's a bad thing and and uh it's uh it's it's been great i I really enjoyed it. This is not my personal grudge lately. The thing that I dislike most is the victim mentality. I see it with young people a lot.

And oh my God, how cliche is this? That I'm finding something wrong with the whole generation. But okay, Bernie Sanders. I like a lot of things about bernie sanders and one of the things i like in him about him in particular is i feel like he's one of if not the most honorable person in the race or people in the race right you know i don't think he's lying i don't think he stoops to do negative things i don't think that he i believe he's a good person. And if he gets up there, he'll do the best job that he knows how to do. And I don't think that's true of every president we have. I think some of them are like, well, you know, this is kind of fucked up,

but the people who paid for this presidency, I, you know, I owe them. I, I feel like, you know, like Bush, for example, the one that was president most recent, was a pretty bad president. And some of the shit he did, like allowing arsenic in water, which was one of the first moves he made, I just don't see the upside of that. When he loosened arsenic restrictions or regulations, I feel like that was just a bought and paid for move.

Like, yeah, I'm here. First thing I do, fucking poison people and call it good. Sanders won't be like that was just a bought and paid for move like yeah, you know Hey, I'm here first thing I do fucking poison people and and call it good Sanders won't be like that On the other hand. I feel like he's playing to a certain sort of Victim mentality that's super super popular especially amongst young people who are on the internet. You know the young people are on the internet You know college is too expensive it's not your fault you know a hundred thousand dollars in debt that wasn't yours you know that that's it's not your problem or it's not your responsibility it totally is man you know a hundred grand in debt would you spend six years you never worked anywhere along that way you just

had like a i don't want to call it a vacation because being a student is a lot of work but you lived you chose that man like you know when i did it i went to school at night and worked during the day and my employers would help me out and when they didn't pay all of it i earned money and paid the rest of it and i finished without any debt when people just you know don't work and go to college and finish with debt well that's what you did also did you choose a state school because the state school tuition is not that high it's like 14 grand or something like that 18 grand um you know you don't run up a hundred thousand dollars in debt like the whole thing costs what is that 56 um so anyway yeah people are

people are spending a lot of money and then when they're finished acting like it's not their fault people are saying there's uh like systematic oppression i was arguing with my daughter yesterday and this one was about black people and i was saying that uh you know certainly for this current generation this current like group of graduates, white people aren't being held back. You know, it's not a problem. You know, well, their schools are bad. Well, I hear you. And that does suck.

But there's no white people going to black schools and sticking graffiti all over them. Right. There are white people threatening the teachers, making them feel like they're unsafe in these urban schools. There's, you know, perhaps an issue. Snitch, snitch, baby, snitch, you know. If there's a drug dealer on my corner, that fucker won't make it till tomorrow morning. I'm a snitch, right?

I'm a snitch right now. Hold on a minute. I got a snitch. There's a drug dealer on my corner. But, you know, in other communities, that's not happening. And, you know, like, dude, like, take responsibility. Don't say, like, this bad thing's happening here. You know, it's not my fault or whatever.

Like, just own it. Own it. Fix it. Do a thing. And if I have an issue with this current group, it's that they're not, like, you know, fucking man up and fix a problem. It's, ah, this isn't my bill. How can I get some greater power to deal with this problem on my behalf or fuck that greater power who caused this problem, who really didn't, you know, like I, I swear if there was some sort of boys club,

like I'm 40 years, 42 years old, I'm white and I'm a multimillionaire and I'm still unaware of this boys club. What the fuck? Like, yeah. Wouldn't I know? Wouldn't someone like,

Oh dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, did you get the letter? You know,

you're in, but there's not, I, or maybe I'm just way too small and broke. I don't know. But, uh, uh, or, you know, comparatively broke next to, like, whatever,

the people in the boys club. But I just don't think it exists. I don't think there's any systematic oppression or holding anyone down. I think that you just got to make the right move. Don't get a gender studies degree and then complain there are no jobs. You know, get an employable degree. So I think it's a little bit of both. I think there are points to be made for both

I think the biggest problem is corruption I feel like they can assign X amount of dollars for Y problem but if it doesn't actually get there it doesn't even matter I feel like you can have if Sanders goes in there and tries to implement

all of these new government programs that are basically going to... First of all, where's the money coming from? But let's just pretend he has it. But the money won't get to where he's sending it in an efficient fashion. It never does because he's working through the federal government. Can I add to that?

Yeah. I don't think the best way to lower costs to schools is to have the federal government like like it's just that yeah like i don't think the best way to lower cost of schools is to have the federal government throw money at schools you know if you want to lower the cost of schools excuse me what you need to do is pick schools based on cost if people start doing that if people start saying you know you know what happens today is they're like well this one's 10 grand a year this one's 3010,000 a year, and this one's $30,000 a year. But that $30,000 one a year, I like it a little more. I'll do that. And people, like, they're legit cost-no-object choosing shit.

But they don't do that anywhere else in their life. Like, they're not doing that with cars. They're not doing that with clothes. But with school, somehow... You click a button. You click a button, and just $100,000 changes hands somewhere, and you never know about it. So the bills come.

If the federal government starts sending more money to schools, I don't think that's going to make schools cheaper. I think it maybe has a very short-term dip in how much students pay, but then in no time at all, it'll go right back, and it'll be more expensive because you'll have it in taxes in addition to you know tuition so I yeah the real solution is to have people start caring about how much they spend and then we'll be getting somewhere hmm but yeah just in

general I feel like there's a you know like it's certainly the cliche is all the people on tumblr, you know, you're triggering me, you're oppressing me, you're this, you're that. I've got one issue or another, my PTSD. They're not combat vets. And I, it's like, stop being a victim. Like, just own up and be tougher, impermeable. That's what you need.

It'll be better for you. I was, it's a completely different topic, but I was looking at a thing, impermeable. That's what you need. It'll be better for you. It's a completely different topic, but I was looking at a thing and someone posted a comment on my thing. Something about Smokey the Bear would be very disappointed in you. And so that gave me this idea. It's like, well, I'm about to do this flamethrower video. I need a Smokey the Bear costume

because I thought it would be funny if the flamethrower video opened up with a close-up of Smokey the Bear in costume. And he was like, remember, kids, only you can prevent. And then I hit him with a flamethrower, and someone is just screaming and writhing in pain in the Smokey the Bear costume. I was like, that'd be hilarious. He is protected. The National Forestry Service treats that guy like he's a national hero or something.

You can't get the costume. You can't use his likeness. They will come after your ass. There's a whole list of rules on how the guy who does wear the suit acquires it, wears it, what he can and can't do. They treat Smokey the Bear like he's

Uncle Sam or something. You can get an Uncle Sam costume anywhere and run around and be silly. But they don't want Smokey the Bear looking bad. And I'm afraid to go after Smokey the Bear because I'm pretty sure they'll file some sort of a lawsuit against me. Can you do the Indian with the tear guy with the garbage? You really want Smokey the Bear.

He's a much better figure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I just had this... I could see it in my head. The camera's tied on Smokey the Bear. You know what he looks like, hat and all. Only you can prevent forest. And then the flames just ignite him.

I don't know how to safely pull that off. Because I'm not volunteering to be in that suit. I would be in the suit. I wouldn't trust anybody else to do it right. They wouldn't flail the way I want them to flail. And they wouldn't scream just right. I would just get some of those Kevlar coverings and I would light myself up strategically

so that it's not going up here. I'd set my arms on fire, my back on fire, and I'd just go with it. Just wearing some fire gear and a couple fire extinguishers. You can burn for five or ten seconds. It's just the outside of that costume that'd be burning. You probably thought of this already, but it might take a couple

days to film a smoke uh fire a flamethrower video because i think the time is very important like it might be hard to do in complete darkness but you certainly don't have all day there's like a golden hour thing you might have to hit golden hour four days in a row um i think a lot of it will work well for in in just broad daylight there's definitely going to be a nighttime portion of it will work well in broad daylight. There's definitely going to be a night time portion of it or low light portion of it. I just don't know how much. I came up with a great idea today.

So I already had the idea for filling big balloons, like 36 inch balloons up with propane and hitting those with a flame thrower. They'll make a huge fireball. And then to hold them in place so that they're floating at like target position, just tie a helium balloon to that and it's lighter than air so it'll keep everything stable. Are propane's heavier than air? It doesn't float like helium. Okay.

So what I, and I started thinking more and I think that'll be cool, like me kind of going through a course just boom. You could use a hydrogen balloon to hold it up, just but i've got tanks of helium for free okay but hydrogen explodes yeah but i i don't know how volatile hydrogen is i don't have a lot of experience with it and i'm already pretty uh it's fucking ridiculous yeah i'm not positive the propane like if a propane balloon went off next to me it'd be bad but it wouldn't be like that acetylene balloon. They're not nearly as volatile. The explosion isn't as violent. The conflagration isn't as rapid.

So my idea is this. Instead of, I'm going to have the course of them floating at like head height and kind of roll through it blowing balloons up. But then I was thinking, why not get a big helium balloon? Like almost weather balloon status, like five feet wide or something. Start with that. Have that up there floating. And every three feet coming down the string, there's another propane balloon. And it goes up for like 50 feet in the air. So when I ignite the bottom propane balloon and it explodes, it ignites the one three feet above it and then the one three feet above it and then the

one three feet above it and it just keeps going until I got a mushroom cloud or something. I'm not really sure what's going to happen. So that's the idea there. I think that's going to be cool. Yeah. So I just found, I bought balloons before, but here's one you can get. You know, blue, green, orange, red, white, and yellow.

Six foot balloons. Lovely. This will get you done. They cost some money. It's one you can get. Blue, green, orange, red, white, and yellow. Six foot balloons. Lovely. This will get you done. They cost some money. It's $20 a balloon. Yeah, I only need one. I'll get two. You can get 36 inch balloons for like, they're about $5 each or something like that. I think that's going to be my main

target size. I've still got some testing to do, but I think that's going to be really cool. There's going to be a column of propane that just goes into the night's sky and I'm going to light it from the bottom. I'm looking forward to that. How's it going to be held up? Well, at the top there's a helium balloon. So you think that'll have enough suspension to hold a column of propane balloons? Oh yeah, yeah, definitely so. Because, yeah, they'll weigh like...

Propane balloons are almost zero. Yeah. They'll take a big helium balloon. Yeah. Yeah. Huh. Well, I look forward to that. Now, all your videos are uploaded now, right?

You don't have any in the hopper waiting? Nope. Nope. We're filming... I got to go to this gun show this weekend, and then we're going to film. The third is when I get my flamethrower. You know what video I want to see?

Me getting shot in the forehead with a paintball. I need to render. I have no way of getting it off the card right now. Like, I got to figure out some kind of a card reader or something. Go to Amazon, buy a card reader. It's probably less than $15, and they send it right to you. I buy stuff on Amazon all the time. I buy so much shit on Amazon when it comes to the door,

I don't remember what I got. I'm not sure what the issue is though because the problem is that the computer's USB drive isn't working properly. So it's not wanting to read. So I've got a adapter to put the micro SD into sort of a thing that looks like a thumb drive and then that into my computer

and it won't read that. And it won't read any USB for that matter. And that's the only computer with the editing software on it that can edit the 60. These things aren't networked together? Yeah. No.

One's downstairs on, like, the south end of the house. The other computer's upstairs on the north end. They couldn't be farther apart. You'd have to use, like, Mega Upload or something. Yeah. And then the other problem with using Mega Upload is this little clip of your video is part of a 22 minute file of 60 frames per second 1080p video. Kitty's computer has editing software.

We're talking about Kitty's computer. It's Kitty's thumb drive that isn't working. Oh. I see now. Yeah. Hmm. So I could get it on my computer. Yeah.

Right. Like, like, like that's the, and it's an annoying problem to have. So I'll drive, I'll put it up. I may end up doing that.

Yeah. Make that. So that's, I'll make this table. No, I don't. Cause you expressed an interest before. Did I?

Yeah. Shocking. yeah shocking um yeah you were like you wanted to sort of pick a day when like something interesting was happening you know whether it be like a framing or something like that i mentioned that i would that whenever um your flamethrower came in and i was done filming with it that i would happily just drive up there and bring you your flamethrower i really thought you wanted to join in on the stable. Nah, I think I'm good on that one. There's oftentimes some sort of manual labor project going on at my dad's place, and I always just duck right on out of those.

I could definitely see why it's a fun thing to do, and it's going to be really an accomplishment when you get something like that done. But it's not something I need in my life right now, and I've got a bunch of shit going on anyway. I'm about to start on my own little project that I think I'll film. I can't talk about that. It's the thing that I'm going to have delivered, and then I'm going to do the stuff to it on the inside of it,

and it'll be done in 45 days or so, like I was telling you. Yeah, okay, okay, yeah. Yeah, yeah. So I'm probably going to film that little project, me doing all of those things. So that you're ready when the thing arrives. So when the thing arrives, you'll be like, all right. Yeah, yeah. So I can show what I did after the fact.

I think that'll be cool because there's a lot that goes into it apparently. And I gotta get to it now. I don't want to. But in any case, I got my own little carpentry slash construction project going on. I don't want any part of yours. I follow that now.

Yeah, yeah. So the stable's been making some progress. Actually, in very recent history, it hasn't been making as much as we want. We did the overhang on the roof, but it's been raining and raining and raining. And the deal is we're working on a roof. And as soon as we lay all the sheathing, we've laid the pressure treated sheathing and left it in the rain. But the other sheathing, we're kind of waiting for a break in the rain because we want to lay, we're not tar paper we're using like synthetic tar paper it's like an improved version supposedly and uh we don't want to put that environmentally

friendly as well you know what you ever burn the selling tar paper or shingles does it i wouldn't think they burn well it makes these first of all there's black smoke like a tire but the flames are green well the the reason we chose it is because i heard it was less apt to tear than tar paper and i thought just being idiots would be more likely to walk on it whereas a pro might lay the tar paper and then like instantly have the shingles as the next step i could see me like needing to fix a thing or like forgetting flashing somewhere and I was like if this is more resistant to being walked on that's the stuff I should use so uh anyway what I'm trying to get out is we need to lay that tar paper I'll call it synthetic tar paper on dry wood and it's been raining every day and that's been holding us up but today I got all the electrical stuff we need so if it rains tomorrow which i think it will

and the day after that we'll be inside the stable uh wiring it up that should be cool yeah yeah that will be cool um we've got a lot of our little projects wrapped up i've been my uncle just got a 1956, maybe older, truck that they're working on over there. They're always starting a new car project or something like that and bringing it over there to work on. There's a 57. When they buy it, does the truck run? Sometimes, sometimes not. All these projects are unrelated.

Dad likes fixing up old cars, and my uncle does too. Can he take the motor apart, and he's not at all intimidated by a crankshaft? No, that's what they just did. They changed the camshaft. It was called a thumper camshaft. camshaft they put some it was called a thumper camshaft they put in this uh uh they they took the heads off the 383 stroker and put some put a they had a 400 small block and they took the parts off one put them on the other they just put an engine together i guess that's what i'm getting at yeah they do all that stuff i'm taking the head off a million times but once and i've even taken the block off but i've never messed with the crank and I've watched videos of people who like

take the crank off. And I think it's called a race that like half circle thing that likes, you know, rubs against a bearing maybe. And, uh, they're like, look at this,

you know, this race is damaged right here. And it has like a very slight horizontal scratch on it. I'm like, all right. And they're like, well, this one should be fine.

And to my eye, it looks pretty much like the fucked up one and that intimidates me because this guy i'm talking about one lonely farmer he's a youtuber clearly knows his stuff like he's not he's not getting it wrong he's done it a million times he's probably on the same level that like your father is and uh but i'm not on that level and i can't see why he likes one and hates the other. I don't get it. They do a little bit of everything.

I mean, he couldn't rebuild the transmission. I finally figured out what was wrong with my truck's transmission. I wanted to diagnose the problem before I replaced it, and now it's time. So here's the deal. I may be off a year or two, but from 2002 till 2009, the Chevrolet pickup trucks, the Silverado 1500s, have a transmission issue where they fabricated this, apparently because of the in the transfer case, the design is such that one part is always vibrating

when it's under pressure and running. And the part that's right next to that is made out of magnesium. So it vibrates against the magnesium part until it wears through it. And then the fluid goes through the aluminum through pinholes that it can only leak through while the thing is under pressure and riding down the road. So you're driving down the road, and it's dripping transmission fluid. You get back to your house, and it's dry as it can be because the holes are so tiny that the transmission is even dry. It only drips when you're driving and it's under pressure.

There's no transmission fluid in your yard. The end result is that the transfer case and the transmission just ground themselves apart. I talked to a guy whose whole company is about refabricating these transfer cases to go on Chevrolet transmission so you won't have the issue anymore. So $1,300, it should be here by the end of the week. Is this the red one? No, I don't have a red one. There's been so, keeping you informed about the trucks is going to be hard. Dad has bought four trucks and sold trucks,

four trucks, since the last time that red truck was in existence. This is... That red truck was your father's. Yeah. I thought it was yours. No, the black one's mine. The red one was a backup for the black one that he bought for himself. Now, you drove a black one on the survival trip. Yes. That one's not the one that's yours.

That was my 16th birthday present. That one. But is it currently considered your father's? It's always been titled under his name because i was 16 right but does he tend to use it and store it and stuff no it's it's pretty much yours yeah but that's not the truck we're talking about no we're talking about my 2008 uh z71 uh silver truck now a silver truck now silver truck because you drove a really nice black truck in South Carolina I think we had a whole dispute over that truck so I paid for that no no no no me my dad so so so I paid for that truck the idea was this we both wanted a truck and and I was like well look I'm not gonna want to drive my nice truck all the time you're not to want to drive my nice truck all the time. You're not going to want to drive your nice truck all the time.

Let's just split this thing. And I was like, I'll put in, I don't, what was it? It's close to $40,000. Anyway, we split it. We both paid for the thing. Then I took the truck on a few trips. And one of those trips, he did not like how I treated that truck. And we had a big argument over it.

So I was like, well, look. Did you fill it with fast food wrappers no I I carried some barrels in the back of it and the bed got scratched up on the inside of the bed and in my head it was like well I'm gonna put a spray-on bed liner in this thing or something like that anyway who cares if this paint it was like it was paint it was like brand-new like you know like the bed of a truck on the inside ever seeing carpeted on the inside but I might be messing up my truck again. That was what... No, that's it. But this was long before all this happened.

So we had a major dispute. I was like, well, look. I'll keep everybody happy. I come back and I had done the carpet thing. I had put the bed cover on there. Still didn't like it. Long story short, he wrote me a check and it passed 100% back to him. Okay. But in the meantime, there have been, I have a 2008 truck. There's a silver truck. Now, is that the truck I saw in Chicago when you and Jeremy drove?

Yes, that's the one we drove to Chicago. Yeah, that's my truck. I bought that one three years ago or something like that. Yeah, that's my truck. I bought that one three years ago or something like that. So there's also my dad's charcoal 2008 four-wheel drive that's identical in every way, but it's charcoal. He has one that's identical to that. And there's also the red one you spoke of,

though it's gone now, and then there was the black one. So there's like six trucks total or something like that. They just kind of float around a little bit. I think I'm keeping up now. I feel this has really helped me and I care. I can't tell you why I care, but I just happened to, it seems. And, uh, yeah. And it's funny is that your truck comings and goings, like I've had the same truck for is it 12 or 13 years 12 years so far and uh i kind of would like a different one i like my truck and it's not my dad did this thing for

like 30 40 years where every year he would always have a new car we always did we were always you know he was we would always just i don't know how many cars i've had i i don't know maybe maybe close to 30 that's because like but the turnover would be fast like you might only be in a car for two months sometimes but sometimes it might be three years i i if that were me i'd probably be losing a lot of money maybe your father is able to wheel and deal and buy you know buy low sell high or something but i think if i did that i'd be fucked i think i i think part of it for him for a long time was he wants a new truck all the time and uh and the other part was like you weren't losing that new huh new to him brand new um like he always wanted

a brand new truck so he just considered that the cost of doing business. And, you know, there's a lot of other things that you could do. And I look at trucks and sometimes I see like, ooh, there's one I really like and it's 15 grand or something. Like I could have that for a long time, but I don't pull the trigger. I don't know. We'll see. Hope. I've been taking Hope driving every weekend. And that's been going well. And it implies that maybe come December she'll actually get her license, which seemed risky. That's shocking to me.

I wonder if that's a thing that's sort of her peculiarity or if that's a growing thing among young people that they just don't. I can't imagine. Who doesn't want to fucking? Come on. That's a growing thing among young people that they just don't i can't imagine who doesn't want to fucking come on that's that's the best thing in life it's a growing thing among young people it's and i think i don't know i was gonna say it's mostly girls but it's not like there's a lot of people who just don't care to drive i don't i don't me i wanted the freedom so bad and and i've always said it's because my parents didn't take me all the places I wanted to go, right? Like, I wanted to go, I had friends who didn't live

in the same town as me, and my mom would literally just like cancel, she'd say yes, she was gonna take me tomorrow, and like it was all lined up, and I see him in school, and it's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, and he had like dirt bikes and ATVs, so going to his place was like Disney World. Better than Disney World. Fucking dirt bikes and ATVs, man.

I'm literally going to get to do this stuff. I can't wait. Whereas otherwise, we'd just play it at school or at my house or whatever, and we're going to go to this fucking amazing adventure, and then it would rain that day and my mom would be like no i'm not driving in the rain i'm like mom like the car is waterproof you know why wouldn't you drive me in this i don't like driving in the rain like it i'll turn the windshield wipers on like i don't know how to like compromise on this and and there's just you know just cancel i wanted it for every conceivable

reason it's like when i want to go somewhere i want to go there like i never had to ask for like gas money was just provided like really as much as i wanted like like and it i feel like gas money should be provided to your kid like if they're going somewhere to like you know at least they're out of your hair right that's that's one good thing and it's just like sure i'll pay you to stay away it seems like a good a good you know give and take i won't start any fires at home you give me a hundred bucks i'll be gone for the for the night so like well as soon as i had a driver's license though like i was like well i want to go somewhere i want to get as i want to go far i want whether it's near or far it doesn't really matter i just want to be away from here all the time, constantly, out doing stuff that's me.

Like, if I want to just decide, you know what? And I did. So many times I've just been like, fuck it, I'm going to Florida. Or fuck it, I'm going 300, 400 miles out of the way for no good reason. My cousin and I would be watching late night TV. We'd see something on Food Network about some great rib shack in Tennessee. And I'd be like, you know what? Let's go get those fucking ribs.

And we'd go the next day and drive four hours to go get the ribs. I remember one time we saw this thing about the biggest breasts in the world and it was this stripper in Tennessee. And I was like, dude, we're only six hours away from them giant titties. She's crushing beer cans with them and stuff. We went and saw the giant titties. Yeah, I mean, why not? We got our own car, got the gas money. What else are we going to do? I did similar stuff, but way lamer.

I was like, let's go to Hardee's. Hardee's is 45 miles from here. Yeah. That too, like, you know, anything and everything. Just the ability to be like, fuck all this, and just get in your car and be gone. Just get away from whatever you're dealing with. Whatever

people you normally have to put up with. See, that's the thing when you're not mobile. You've got to put up with whatever the environment is you're in. You get to change your environment when you've got a car. That's just... And another thing, a car was like a shelter to me. And I don't know if other people get as excited about this, but I'd be

in my car in the rain just excited about how waterproof it is maybe that's why I got the thing for rainflies maybe it started there but but I like that the raindrops would hit the windows it'd be snowing and I'd have my own HVAC system right like my very own HVAC system where I can make it cold in the summer and hot in the winter. And like, I was just, transportation was of course the greatest thing about it, but the shelter was the second greatest thing about it. Like I could sleep there. I could. Well, it was doing all the things that my parents wouldn't take me to do. And you know, like, all right all right so fireworks they discovered at an early

age it was best not to let me have any like it just wasn't a good idea i was gonna like cut them all apart and make one big one or something so um when i got a car like one of the first things i did was like go to the fucking firework store they've been they've been keeping me away for years not a day longer like like once a year they'd stop on the way back from South Carolina and let me go to the fireworks store and get $20 worth of shit. But I got my own car. We're going to go drop $200 on fireworks. Let's go have some fun.

It was fireworks. It was the ability to go get laid or go get booze or go get cigarettes or whatever was cutting edge for a 16-year-old with wheels. I wanted to do all those things and nobody could tell me i couldn't and you know it wasn't always shenanigans and like trying to trying to get our hands on something we shouldn't have been uh a part of but for the most part it was just taking control of our own little lives and and being the boss question for you you ready yeah so hope is a somewhat nervous conservative driver but not that dangerous really just you know anxious about driving and uh definitely doesn't want to start with my truck which was plan a like

if you talked to her when it was on the hypothetical she was going to be driving my stick shift doing whatever now she would need her own car one that isn't mine um what would you get her one option includes give her jackie's and get jackie something new another option is anything else i would get her something like a like a a three to five year old volvo xc90 it doesn't get any safer or kind of lamer than that. Like, it's not going to be a race car, but it is a fucking like super safe. It's like a SUV crossover ugly fucking thing.

It doesn't get any safer than that. I was going to go considerably older, eight years or something. Jeep Cherokee or Grand Cherokee? Again, big car. I just have this idea that when a big car hits a little one, the big car kind of wins. I know little cars can be safe, etc.,

but they get pushed around by big ones. I want to get bogged down in this. What's your budget? That's the important thing, I guess. As low as possible. That's not fair to say. You've got to have a round number. You got to come up with that. Because she's not going to be a skin in the game, right?

She doesn't. But I'm not asking her. I would say certainly under five grand. Oh. Yeah. It needs to be reliable, trustworthy. I would like it to be something i know how to work on that was like when you mentioned volvo i'm like ah that seems like it's gonna be foreign to me

but jeep like i've been working on jeep motors from that rock crawler for a long time um it hmm maybe i'm not the best at this i might not fit for advice in my head I like if it were me I'd get her a new car because I would be like this is your this this is this is the first and only time in your life and you're going to start out with a brand new one now once you've ruined this one you're you're walking so keep that in mind and treat it two months before I totaled it well I I need to get her something built for crashing that in mind and treat it... My car lasted two months before I totaled it. Well, I... I need to get her something built for crashing. That's what I think.

Safe and good. I mean, you know, insurance doesn't get any safer than a new car. That's just what I would think. I would like... I would want to start out, like, no... I would never want, you know, a new driver to have to worry about maintenance. Not maintenance. Maintenance is...

But like working on the car. I don't want her to break down or have any bullshit issues that might come along with an older car. Newer cars are kind of safer. They definitely are safer. And my thought process is like, look, this is a brand new thing you're getting here. And if you take care of it, it'll last you well beyond the end of your college years and on into the next decade. Look what I've done with the Red Ranger over here. I don't know.

That's what immediately – that would be my first choice. But after that, like, I don't know. Like, you're a father. You've got to make this decision. Yeah, I would just ask. I would buy my kid a new car. I just thought it was an interesting topic. I don't think she's getting a new car.

I know you've got your own personal experience of wrecking one, but like... So does Jackie. Jackie, she got her car and she immediately crashed into a red light. She ran into a red light. It's not the same as running a red light. I understand. She hit the pole that would hold up the red light and knocked the red light down. And then whenever we passed it, she would claim that that one was hers because she paid for it.

That's my red light. I've never had a car crash at all. I've never hit anything. Not another car, certainly. I've ran into some ditches, but I've never incapacitated a vehicle while driving it. My cousin, on the other hand, polar opposite. He's taken out about eight or nine, mostly totals. He totaled one on purpose because he didn't like it.

I mentioned all those accidents I was in. I was mostly passengers, mostly the passenger in all those accidents. I had a friend named Brian Trostle. I shouldn't have probably given his whole name, but it's PKN, whatever. He crashed.

I must have been in six accidents with that guy. I thought with the crashing thing, it was like, you know, car insurance. I feel like you lose every time with a bunch with car insurance. If they stack up they start

putting some penalties on you but i think your first one you know you might look at it oh now it's 20 more a month which isn't a chicken scratch but you know they're not gonna like in jersey when you crash your car you'd pay the entire amount in raised premiums and then right off the bat as a lump sum no like they'd be like all right for the next four years like there's five thousand dollars in damage for the next four years you'll pay 1250 and you know more in auto insurance and it's like what is auto insurance for yeah oh well that sounds i we've used our insurance a lot in my family my dad's had a lot of like buildings burned down and like made like all the different kinds of insurance too. Auto insurance, farm insurance, medical insurance.

He's had an $85,000 back surgery once and he had a $180,000 building burned down once. He figures he's in the positive on that. He's definitely taken advantage of all his insurance. He's taken a lot more out of that system than he's paid in, but still, it seems like with auto insurance, I've never been in a wreck, so maybe I just don't know. I've never been in a wreck outside of Jersey, so that's not that relevant either. That sounds awful. I wouldn't pay into that system.

I'd just ride it without insurance. Jersey's the worst. They've got the highest insurance rates of any state. Well, they do if you're a DWIwi they just fucking gun you down right there like the bill they're like dwi is costing on average like 25 or 32 000 in this state don't drink and drive they put it on the billboards and advertise how fucked you are if you get caught drinking and driving no i was talking about dI, driving without insurance. Not driving while intoxicated.

I see. I don't know what happens. I've had my laps before and they pull me over and seen it's laps and they say, let's go take care of that. I feel like if I maybe had brown skin and didn't speak English so well they'd have INS'd my ass and zapped me

or something no i'm insured up i uh yeah i'm i'm covered but with hope yeah i plan to get her something kind of big and safe i think she's learning to drive in an elevated position like in my car even more so my wife's that she should stay up tall and uh I don't know, Jeep Cherokee comes to mind because I feel like it's big and safe and I can fix it and I'll get it. Yeah. Also, there's a fair chance that when she goes to college for the first year or two, she won't take a car. Some schools don't even allow freshmen to drive. And I can't imagine buying a new car

and just having it depreciate in the stable for two years. Yeah, you wouldn't want that. Maybe the new car is Jackie and Hope's car and you get two birds with one stone. Or maybe, why doesn't

Jackie's car pass to Hope since it's a big honking SUV? That may be the ticket. This is the ticket here. Here's what I'm thinking. What if you give her that? Because that's a big SUV. I think that's probably...

I mean, she's going to back into some shit. But she won't be hurting anyway. Those bumpers are already fucked up. I'm sure they are. They really there's did you weld some of those big steel ones on it like on your truck like that's what you should do um but and i was about but i don't know what you buy jackie either like like she wrecked while i was how many times have i ridden with jackie in my life four one okay how many car accidents one one or two i don't know two one for one when on one ride had one crash like she's a hundred percent crash uh at this point

i i don't know if you give her the new car either maybe get out this whole thing for five thousand dollars maybe jackie gets a grand cherokee and. I was actually really looking at a Grand Cherokee for Jackie, but a much newer one. The newer ones. All right, so the new, new ones. I really like that body style. Let me see if I can find an image of it. I saw it driving down the road the other day,

and I didn't even recognize it. Hmm. Huh. I'm going to show it to everyone for you. The one I saw is a black model with red brake calipers. It looked like a sporty model. I'm trying to... I think it looks nice. I think Jackie would like it. It's not as different.

Maybe I did just see something totally different. This interior looks nice. I think Jackie would like it. It's not as different. Maybe I did just see something totally different. This interior looks nice. I don't know. I searched for 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and it shows the interior, and it's pretty pimp. I went to the scenes. I think one of the things Jackie would really like is air-conditioned seats.

Have you seen that? Yeah, I'm a big fan. I've never felt it, but i've seen it like you know i i watch these car videos and stuff it for people that don't know apparently kyle does it's almost like an air hockey table like it's like perforated leather seats and it just blows cool air on your bum bum and yeah it's it's very much like a like an air hockey table i would love that so much um i that's something i would like but um you could get that uh you could get a used so ford was doing that in 2005 or 2006 for sure like on there they would do it in the definitely they did it in the in the high-end expeditions and explorers and I think they were doing it even in those trucks like like I think I feel like you could get a used Ford truck

That you know like a 20 10 for truck that had all that shit in it if you get the lariat so at the moment I'm doing construction You know the stable and then later the workshop. I need a truck about twice a week. It's a legit thing. I'm not just driving a truck because I'm an American. I'm driving it because I'm bringing home eight-foot long stacks of lumber a couple times a week now. So it'd have to be a truck.

But we'll get this sorted out i uh the frugality thing that i do now with my current truck is a pretty smart decision we'll see i'm looking up uh what a 2010 truck with air-conditioned seats would run you? Chiz is downstairs right now playing Rummy 500 with my wife and mother-in-law. Oh. Yeah. And maybe even Colin or Hope or something. What's Rummy 500? Oh, have you played Jim Rummy?

No, not really. Okay. So the things that have value are the same things that have value in poker. Straight, flush, etc. And basically you play and you put your... If you get three of a kind, you put that three of a kind down and then you get more cards. And if the things you put down are face cards, they're worth 10, ace is 15, otherwise they're

five. And you play until you get 500 points. Okay. you put down are face cards they're worth 10 aces 15 otherwise they're 5 and you play until you get 500 points okay you would catch on quick so apparently my mother-in-law is good at it we'll see here's that truck Let's see what we got here. $31,000 is the asking price. So it is a V8 2010 Ford. And you say it has the air-conditioned seats? Yeah, four-wheel drive, leather air-conditioned seats, 6 a half inch foot bed six and a half foot bed looks extremely clean it's got 46,000 miles on it this would be a

banner but 46 wait how much was it 46,000 miles 31,000 is the asking price but there so like I don't know maybe this is there like internet super price but the price is that it could their five thousand dollars could come off that i don't know so you think it would be 26 ish i don't know i mean maybe this is rock bottom like bare bones price it's you can never really tell uh you'd have to look up the uh you have to look up edmunds.com or blue book see what the actual value of it would be i don't that's when i looked up. I had no idea what one of these would be worth, and I just kind of Googled a few of the options that I was looking for.

That's a pretty truck, though. The other one is in Pennsylvania. Yeah. That'd be a haul. It'd be a nice little road trip. You ever been to Pennsylvania? A lot of times. I used to live in Pennsylvania.

That's right. Of course. Yeah, yeah. times. I used to live in Pennsylvania. That's right, of course. Yeah, yeah. My dad, I told him about that Alaska highway motorcycle ride thing, and he knew all about that highway anyway because we watched this whole History Channel thing about when they made that thing during World War II, and it was a colossal construction effort. And he's going to go. I think I'm going to go with him. Not on a motorcycle. I think we're going to fly into Seattle and rent a car and just drive. We should all come.

You just witnessed me inviting me. All right. I think that would be fun, though. I don't know a ton about that road. I know about the construction process, but I don't know the state of it currently. But Dad was like, yeah, it's supposed to be one of the most scenic roads in the world. Yeah, dude, we should go road trip that thing. I'll even drive this time.

I'll believe that when I see it. I've done a lot of long-distance driving. Just not with you. I do long-distance sleeping. I don't know why. I do not like long of long distance driving. Just not with you. I do long distance sleeping. I don't know why. I do not like long distance driving. I've done a bunch of, like four to six hour hauls. I've done a bunch of those.

I think you used to like it. I think when you first started, there was a level of excitement to go to Arizona. There's some. All right. So parts of it I enjoy. I like being in a car with a bunch of friends and kind of driving for a few hours but that wears off after like the first day like after a day of doing it and then you wake up and get right back in the car and go again it's it really starts

wearing on you and then you're keeping in mind the whole time that like we're not even there yet once we get there we got to do all this shit again but we'll be tired on the way back from all the work we're gonna do so it's like i would much rather fly at this point i would i would drive to to there's a lot of places i would drive to uh you know if but they're all pretty close yeah uh i like it when my when i drive a car a long distance or even a medium distance but it's working hard then when my machine works well i get a ton of enjoyment out of that it could be my tractor it could be my golf cart it could be my truck but like if you and i were to hop in my truck and take it up to like boston to see lozanne and especially if we were hauling a thing and we're like carrying people and materials

just going your truck is so effective like it'll go highway speeds for indefinitely indefinitely like these things are just very high quality machines and uh and they last for a decade or two that is amazing that black truck has 245,000 miles on it. It's on its third fuel pump, I think, maybe fourth. But that's it. Maybe the, I don't know how many sets of tires, six? Something like that. The Tacoma, not as many miles, 136 maybe.

But it's had almost nothing. I put a new timing belt in it. And when I did that, I replaced the water pump. Cause that's the thing. I don't know if that's all cars, but the timing belt runs the water pump. So a lot of people replace it's like $80 extra to do that. But if it goes bad, then it's a whole like thousand dollar job all over again because it's the same thing as a timing belt anyway so yeah i but i pretty much replaced nothing because it was broken just you know gas and oil and brake pads and good so yeah there's that must have been a good model or maybe that was just a good one in particular you got i don't know anything about those trucks but like with this i didn't know that about that thing i told you at the beginning of

the show about how those chevrolet trucks apparently he the guy told me he was like he's like they're ticking time bombs he was like you want to work with us if you put in a refabricated one all they're gonna do is replace that magnesium with aluminum it's still gonna vibrate you're still gonna run into the same problems it's gonna take longer he's like we do it right that's what that's what that's why i've been business been in business since blah blah blah doing what i do like he was like the man it seemed like he knew exactly what the problem was and uh i was glad i got in touch with that guy but as i'd never heard of anything like that with those trucks he seemed to know about it well with um with that 2002 truck, the only thing it's ever been is that fuel pump, and that's a well-known thing with those.

That red truck that you mentioned earlier, that was a 2002 truck. It also had the fuel pump issue. I think they all do. Like every 50,000 miles, it just needs a new one. Do you replace it yourself? Is it easy? Yeah, it's not easy. I mean, relatively easy, you you know a few hours of work once you know i've done it a few times now so like we know how to do it and we

did it two different ways one way taking the bed off and one way just raising it um either both are just really annoying because that's what you have to do to get to this thing i replaced the fuel pump on my buggy and uh it is so easy it's right there by the gas tank you can see it you don't remove anything it's um two bolts and two wires and i think if you hustle you can do it in 90 seconds so this is this is in an internal fuel pump so it's in the gas tank submerged in the gasoline. But to access the top of the fuel tank, you have to get the bed. There's like this much, and you can snake your hand in, but not well enough to do anything. It's certainly not well enough to pull.

The fuel pump's long and sort of slender, and it's in there like that. So you've got to get some distance there, and, and there's a couple of ways to accomplish that. And both of them are just time consuming. And it's one of those jobs where you're just kind of like in there like this. And dude, that's why I hate plumbing. I'm always like, it's always under a sink,

some garbage disposal behind the toilet. The worst part, I wouldn't mind plumbing. If all I did was like swimming pool plumbing where I think you can mostly stand up and stuff, but the household plumbing, it's you can mostly stand up and stuff. But the household plumbing, it's always under cabinets. I hate it.

I don't remember exactly how he raised the bed. With a series of, with Jacks and he's got a hydraulic lift and like a car lift, you know. That's what I need. He's got, those are pretty nice. I don't think they're expensive. There's not much to it. You know, you just slide that thing under and it yanks the car fast.

You know what's expensive? Having the right building. Oh, we're talking about a different thing then. So there's the car lift that's got the four pillars that he has that lifts the whole car. But he's also got an air-powered thing that you just push up under the front of the car and it's got two contact points on the front of it and you just put it up under the car and you hit a switch and with air power it'll lift the whole front end of the car up. It's like an air jack

I guess. That's what it is. But in any case, that's what you gotta do. You gotta lift the bed away from the frame to get in there and work on it. It's not fun. That or you can drop the gas tank which is about the same amount of work. You end up soaked in gasoline and angry make me appreciate my taco

maybe I'll keep it anyway that's been a long show I don't know when we started but the clock says two hours almost where do you see a timer on our current call. Over there.

It's at 1 hour and 57 minutes and 10 seconds on our current call. Oh, there it is. Yeah, I see it too now. But the show's at 1.13. Anyway, that was Painkiller Nearly episode 59. I hope you guys enjoyed it. Next up, PKA 250.

I'm looking forward to that myself. Alright. Bye.
