What's going on in your 25 00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:30.959 life and how can we help you? Let's see when 26 00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:34.480 it comes to cars. Okay, so here's what I want 27 00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:39.040 to talk about. When it comes to cars. Should we 28 00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:43.079 be switching to evs? I mean, really, how much time 29 00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:46.040 I go through this dilemma over and over and I'm 30 00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:48.840 at an age now where I used to joke how 31 00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:51.959 many cars do I have left? You know, if you 32 00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:54.400 looked at a car's average three years, how many cars 33 00:01:54.439 --> 00:01:57.359 you have left? Well, I'm three cars away from never 34 00:01:57.439 --> 00:01:59.000 needing a car. I mean, I hate to look at 35 00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:00.879 life like that, but you know what I'm saying, I'm 36 00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:02.599 not three cars. I don't know if I'm one car 37 00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:05.599 or three cars or half a car. But but in general, 38 00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:11.120 what I'd like to say is this cars. Would you 39 00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:13.280 is it time to switch to an EV now this 40 00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:15.639 time around if you're looking for a car or is 41 00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:18.599 it too soon? Is it too premature? Deputy d I 42 00:02:18.639 --> 00:02:20.759 see you there. What do you think is it time 43 00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:23.599 to switch to an electric car? Or do you think 44 00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:25.879 we're going to have another ten or fifteen years of 45 00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:29.280 viable motor. Okay, now Kevin's there as well. Just move 46 00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:31.680 that over a little, Kelly and just get it square. 47 00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:34.319 I mean, we have a lot of space on over 48 00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:37.240 Dimitri's left shoulder we don't need. But in any case, 49 00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:40.400 thank you and we can. So what do you think, keV? 50 00:02:41.479 --> 00:02:43.439 Is it time to get an EV right now? And 51 00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:44.400 I'm going to transition? 52 00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:49.199 I definitely see, you know, the desire and the benefits. Yeah, 53 00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:52.840 but I still think technology is still changing rapidly. So 54 00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:55.400 I'm still on the fence a little bit, still waiting. 55 00:02:56.960 --> 00:03:02.759 Okay, Okay, so this time around you wouldn't do an EV. 56 00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:06.639 I'm very very tempted, but I'm still waiting because I 57 00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:08.120 think it's going to get a little even better. 58 00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:13.000 Okay, so that's the point. At what point do you 59 00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:14.960 do it? Like Mark used to say, you know, when 60 00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:18.280 I did my clear lens exchange, I'm not doing them yet. 61 00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:20.199 I'm not doing them until they're perfected. I said, well, 62 00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:23.240 when will they be perfected? Nothing's ever perfected? How many 63 00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:27.639 times have we had our smartphones perfected? Or anything we buy? 64 00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:30.400 I mean laptops? I mean, you know I have iPads. 65 00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:33.520 I can't even use anymore, exactly because they stop supporting them. 66 00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:35.879 I mean, so at what point do you call it good? 67 00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:40.639 At what point do you say, well, okay, we can 68 00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:42.919 get it done. I mean, even if it's not perfect. 69 00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:49.439 If it's not perfect, at least it's something right. So anyway, 70 00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:52.520 I'm having that dilemma now, not that I need a car. 71 00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:54.879 I only have twenty nine grand on my car. But 72 00:03:54.919 --> 00:03:56.759 I get tired of cars, and it's coming up on 73 00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:01.280 three years and I don't being tired of them. Yeah, 74 00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:03.639 I don't know. I guess we do. I guess most 75 00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:06.000 people have to admit they don't buy cars when they 76 00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:07.800 wear out. They buy them when they get tired of them. 77 00:04:07.960 --> 00:04:13.080 Except Dmitri. He rises their wheels off them. He's not tired. 78 00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:15.400 If he's toyota at all, he's not tired of it. 79 00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:19.959 I love it more and more every single day and 80 00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:22.639 tomorrow it You don't miss technology? 81 00:04:22.839 --> 00:04:25.959 What about technology? Self driving, GPS, all of that. 82 00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:29.480 Well, I have zero interest in self driving. And as 83 00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:32.040 far as GPS, you know, my telephone has that mapping 84 00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:34.199 software that gives me turn by turn directions. 85 00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:36.319 More importantly, it knows about. 86 00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:39.319 Traffic jams and accidents and the enclosures that I wouldn't 87 00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:41.160 know until I actually encounter them. 88 00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:43.279 So I have it, But you don't want to be 89 00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:47.720 surrounded by I don't know. I like new things. I 90 00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:51.639 like new things. Okay, So I'm asking people today if 91 00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:53.279 they're ready for an EV and what EV? 92 00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:54.000 You know? 93 00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:56.240 I was looking at a bunch of evs and I 94 00:04:56.279 --> 00:04:59.199 want to spill this gust right now because it's almost 95 00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:03.839 like a catharsis here. Do you know that? And I 96 00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:06.759 don't want to say and let's not talk about affordability 97 00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:09.800 and stuff right now because it's not anybody's business at 98 00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:12.160 this point. But I was looking at all kinds of 99 00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:16.720 price ranges. Let's just say I could wave my magic 100 00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:19.040 wand I'm not saying I will or I can, but 101 00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:25.399 I want to do a theoretical shopping experience. So I'm 102 00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:30.879 looking at deputy docs car. A beautiful car, a Hyundai Ionic, 103 00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:33.879 I believe. Yeah, ConA, it's a beautiful little car. Yep, 104 00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:35.360 what's that? Or what is the end? 105 00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:38.319 It's a ConA Yeah. 106 00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:42.040 ConA okay, yep, beautiful electric car is all in what 107 00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:44.040 he was yet over thirty grand He's a little over 108 00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:44.680 thirty grand. 109 00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:46.279 I he's just under yeah, he. 110 00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:52.319 Loves this car. Okay. Now then you look at the car. 111 00:05:52.399 --> 00:05:59.120 Mark's looking at a twenty twenty five plaid. By the way, 112 00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:02.000 the new model s looks a little like a Corvette 113 00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:07.319 to me, it's it's an outrageously nice car. That car'll 114 00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:12.199 top out at around one hundred grand and it's Tesla 115 00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:17.519 and it's got almost four hundred miles of range. Now 116 00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:22.040 everyone's getting into it. So I looked at and everyone's saying, 117 00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:24.319 do not do this, do not do this, do not 118 00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:27.920 do this. All it is is a big old fashioned 119 00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:32.480 clunker on top of a battery. And that's the new 120 00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:35.079 G five. Have you heard of it? 121 00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:39.399 I haven't seen that one, Kevin, No, I haven't seen 122 00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:39.920 that one yet. 123 00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:42.399 It's do you know what it is? 124 00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:45.079 Do I know what it is? 125 00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:47.800 An electric? It's an electric G wagon. 126 00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:51.000 Yeah, no, it's I haven't seen the pictures. I mean 127 00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:52.839 the body style you know it had to have. 128 00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:56.199 It looks exactly like it. It's a G wagon. Cool, 129 00:06:56.439 --> 00:07:00.120 except it's electric. Now they made some minor changes, but 130 00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:02.439 they made the changes to all G wagons. In other words, 131 00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:08.000 there's there's nothing exclusive to the five eighty except it's electric. 132 00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:11.399 Now they have a motor on each wheel, four motors, 133 00:07:11.639 --> 00:07:15.079 one on each wheel. They say it is unstoppable. It 134 00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:18.519 only has a two hundred and thirty mile range or something. 135 00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:23.600 Think about that, and that's an ideal condition. It's two 136 00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:26.079 hundred and thirty, two hundred and forty. That's really low. 137 00:07:26.399 --> 00:07:29.360 And then the only difference is where the big spare 138 00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:31.720 tire and a G wagon is. They have a big 139 00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:35.920 they have that that container still, but it's rounded not 140 00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:39.920 excuse me, it's more of a rounded rectangle, a rounded square, 141 00:07:40.759 --> 00:07:43.439 a square with rounded corners, and that's where you store 142 00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:48.680 your charging cable and stuff. So it's really a jump. 143 00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:54.000 And you know what, it weighs sixty six hundred pounds. 144 00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:55.920 Gosh, that's heavy. 145 00:07:55.959 --> 00:07:59.519 Sixty six So it's an electric g wagon and they 146 00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:02.120 have some town and I looked at him because you know, 147 00:08:02.160 --> 00:08:04.439 I'm thinking, you know, leasing right now is the way 148 00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:06.240 I want to go. I'm not gonna I'm not going 149 00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:08.920 to expend the capital I used to when I was younger, 150 00:08:08.920 --> 00:08:11.480 because there's no reason to. And I only drive ten 151 00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:13.959 to five a year. I could do a twelve thousand 152 00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:16.600 mile lease. I've been talking to Jeff Car Jeff R 153 00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:23.600 Cars about leasing and here's the deal. People would say, 154 00:08:23.639 --> 00:08:27.839 I'm nuts. Why not just get the Tesla They've perfected it? 155 00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:32.840 Or what about Arrivian or what about there's all kinds 156 00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:36.720 me what is what? See? That's the problem. Everybody's coming 157 00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:38.120 out with one. What do you do? 158 00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:38.240 So? 159 00:08:38.279 --> 00:08:40.639 I want to get opinions on EV's one of my 160 00:08:40.679 --> 00:08:44.279 topics today. Tom has a question? Go ahead, Tom, what 161 00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:45.360 did you want to talk about? 162 00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:49.519 Yeah, on the EV, I'm not going to ever buy 163 00:08:49.519 --> 00:08:52.399 a one. Probably I'm kind of waiting for the hydrogen 164 00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:54.440 fuel cell vehicle. 165 00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:54.679 To come in. 166 00:08:56.720 --> 00:08:59.919 Well, I mean, I imagine eventually it would happen, but 167 00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:01.720 my god, are you really going to wait for that? 168 00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:04.159 Well, we're an EV? 169 00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:06.240 Yeah, and then what then are you gonna be? 170 00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:06.519 Wait? 171 00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:08.240 And then are you going to be an early adopter 172 00:09:08.360 --> 00:09:08.639 for it? 173 00:09:10.639 --> 00:09:11.039 Maybe? 174 00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:13.600 Maybe it depends on what the price point is on that. 175 00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:17.200 I had a question for you about the Tesla power 176 00:09:17.240 --> 00:09:21.080 wall three battery holds, Yes, battery, you know, have battery 177 00:09:21.080 --> 00:09:21.559 for a house? 178 00:09:21.799 --> 00:09:22.960 What do you guys think about those? 179 00:09:23.240 --> 00:09:23.440 Yes? 180 00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:24.000 Worth it? 181 00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:29.960 I think they're wonderful. But here's the problem. Do you 182 00:09:30.039 --> 00:09:35.320 have a First of all, do you have room for it? 183 00:09:36.879 --> 00:09:37.080 Yes? 184 00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:39.840 And I've already got a solar system in place. I'm 185 00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:42.519 pricing them out right now, Okay, I'm wondering so that 186 00:09:42.559 --> 00:09:44.759 they're only they've only got like a ten year lifespan. 187 00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:48.240 So at the price that I'm getting, you know, even 188 00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:52.840 with the rebates that you get back, get splits about 189 00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:56.440 a thousand bucks a year to have the battery back up. 190 00:09:56.480 --> 00:09:57.600 And I'm just wondering if. 191 00:09:57.440 --> 00:09:58.000 It's worth it. 192 00:09:59.720 --> 00:10:02.320 Well, well, it is if it is, and it isn't. 193 00:10:02.360 --> 00:10:05.000 If it isn't, it depends on what you're backing up 194 00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:08.440 and how bad it is. That's really expensive. By the way, 195 00:10:08.679 --> 00:10:11.840 there are other options. Have you looked into other battery backups? 196 00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:13.600 In fact, Tom, what I'm gonna do for you, I'm 197 00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:15.559 gonna take a break right now. Hold on.

Let's 223 00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:53.240 talk what's on your mind today? Eight eight eight Heating 224 00:11:53.279 --> 00:11:55.120 dot com should be on your mind if you're if 225 00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:58.799 you're called, they do high efficiency systems if your system 226 00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:01.399 is fifteen years older to save money, actually because you 227 00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:06.000 save every month. That's eight eight eight heating dot com 228 00:12:06.039 --> 00:12:09.080 the best prices for high efficiency replacements. We're trying to 229 00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:11.799 get Brooke from Redrocks RS, Red Rocks, Roof and Solar 230 00:12:12.159 --> 00:12:15.399 to talk about battery backups. Part of that is the uh, 231 00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:19.080 the power wall. But Tom, you told me something I 232 00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:21.799 never took into consideration, and a lot of people don't. 233 00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:25.759 When you take things that age out, and a lot 234 00:12:25.759 --> 00:12:29.679 of things age out that we're not aware of. Some 235 00:12:29.799 --> 00:12:33.200 things age out and they make you publicly aware of them. 236 00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:36.600 The most famous things that age out are aircraft parts 237 00:12:36.639 --> 00:12:39.639 and components. So you can put a hard cost to 238 00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:44.799 owning something. For example, if an engine gets two thousand 239 00:12:44.879 --> 00:12:50.039 hours before a mandatory FAA mandatory overall, then you would 240 00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:54.399 have to have you would have to have a price 241 00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:58.120 on that. So you know, using stupid numbers, if it's 242 00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:00.440 a two thousand hour engine and it's two two thousand 243 00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:04.200 dollars overhaul, that would be one thousand dollars an hour, right, 244 00:13:04.399 --> 00:13:09.200 two thousand, two thousand or excuse me one hundred dollars 245 00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:12.440 an hour or whatever, ten dollars, whatever the hell it is. 246 00:13:12.679 --> 00:13:15.679 Let me. I'm sorry, but it started out to be 247 00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:18.600 an intelligent discussion. So what you have to do is 248 00:13:18.679 --> 00:13:23.720 admortize it. And you're telling me, Tom that on a 249 00:13:23.799 --> 00:13:26.320 on a yeah, it's one dollar an hour, two thousand hour, 250 00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:28.840 two thousand dollars would be one dollar an hour. Okay, 251 00:13:29.120 --> 00:13:32.120 I digress. So on this solar wall, are you telling 252 00:13:32.159 --> 00:13:35.559 me for sure that it has a definite time span? 253 00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:40.279 Yeah, it's got a ten year lifespan on it, now. 254 00:13:40.399 --> 00:13:40.840 I'm sure. 255 00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:45.639 Now do they say do they say recommended or approximate lifespan? 256 00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:49.720 Or is that the you must replace at ten years? 257 00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:52.639 No, it doesn't say you must replace. It just says 258 00:13:52.720 --> 00:13:53.840 ten years. 259 00:13:55.679 --> 00:14:01.639 Yeah, okay, you know that's interesting. Ten years and they 260 00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:05.799 and it costs how much to install it'll cost? 261 00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:07.519 You know, by the time I get all the rebates 262 00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:11.159 and so forth, it'll be about ten grand for a 263 00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:15.240 a power wall three plus an extender pack. So that's 264 00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:18.440 two batteries basically that both are thirteen and a half. 265 00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:22.519 Why Tom, what's the what's ther reason for considering this wall? 266 00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:25.440 What's the problem or enhancement that you'd like to solve 267 00:14:25.519 --> 00:14:27.039 with it. 268 00:14:27.039 --> 00:14:28.000 It's battery back up. 269 00:14:29.159 --> 00:14:31.519 Yeah, it's a battery back up. When the power goes out. 270 00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:33.320 You don't have to worry about a generator. You've got 271 00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:34.600 the batteries to run off of. 272 00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:37.679 How much does a generator cost. 273 00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:39.919 A lot less? 274 00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:41.519 And how often does your power go out? 275 00:14:41.559 --> 00:14:44.000 And you've got not very often? 276 00:14:44.200 --> 00:14:47.000 Yeah, that's a good point. D that's a good point. 277 00:14:47.159 --> 00:14:49.039 A battery, Well, never thought of that. 278 00:14:49.200 --> 00:14:51.639 Really, A generator sounds like Tom told us that the 279 00:14:51.679 --> 00:14:55.320 generator will cost less, and a generator really has an 280 00:14:55.320 --> 00:15:00.000 indefinite lifespan, especially since his power doesn't go out very often. 281 00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:03.480 Well, the only thing that I'm trying to figure out 282 00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:05.519 is with a generator, you've got the pain in the 283 00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:08.279 butto happened to fill it up with fuel? You've got 284 00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:08.840 the noise? 285 00:15:10.240 --> 00:15:12.519 Yeah, and then you've wait a minute, man, wait a minute, 286 00:15:12.519 --> 00:15:15.200 Wait a minute, wait a minute. You you have you 287 00:15:15.320 --> 00:15:17.200 have to fill it up with fuel only when you 288 00:15:17.320 --> 00:15:22.120 use it, right, So is avoiding the well, hell, if 289 00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:24.720 you have a diesel generator. If you have a diesel 290 00:15:24.759 --> 00:15:28.919 generator or propane or whatever you have, you it would 291 00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:31.399 last you forever. I mean if you have a power 292 00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:35.440 outage of an hour or two hours or three hours 293 00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:39.759 that takes nothing of fuel, I would I would definitely 294 00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:43.480 go with a generator. Over one thousand dollars a year battery, No, 295 00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:46.399 one thousand dollars a month. Oh a year. 296 00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:49.120 Okay, it's a thousand dollars a year. 297 00:15:49.120 --> 00:15:49.399 A year. 298 00:15:49.759 --> 00:15:51.120 I talked to you about eighty five. 299 00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:53.159 Bucks a month. So so yeah, that's that's kind of 300 00:15:53.159 --> 00:15:53.840 what I was thinking. 301 00:15:54.200 --> 00:15:55.120 I was going to buy one. 302 00:15:55.159 --> 00:15:57.159 And I thought, well, wait, if I buy a generator, 303 00:15:57.919 --> 00:16:00.399 and you know, even after I pay an electric to 304 00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:02.559 get it hooked up to where it can power my 305 00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:05.600 whole house, it's not going to be you know, ten grand. 306 00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:09.480 Not only that, but but there are there are benefits 307 00:16:09.559 --> 00:16:14.559 though there are other benefits. We may be overlooking to batteries. 308 00:16:14.759 --> 00:16:18.440 So I'm going to ask Brook from Red Rocks. So 309 00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:24.799 Brooke he is considering the Tesla power wall. He says 310 00:16:24.840 --> 00:16:31.559 it his net expense amortizes approximately to about one thousand 311 00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:36.080 dollars a year. That's a lot of money because he 312 00:16:36.159 --> 00:16:38.519 has to replace those eventually, so it's about one thousand 313 00:16:38.559 --> 00:16:42.320 dollars a year. And then I said, maybe Brooke has 314 00:16:42.360 --> 00:16:45.919 ideas for other battery backup systems that last longer, or 315 00:16:46.519 --> 00:16:51.799 what about the generator? I love the idea of a generator, Brooke. 316 00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:55.960 Is there a benefit of having a battery over a generator. 317 00:16:57.840 --> 00:17:01.559 The fuel source? So if you're a generator and it's 318 00:17:01.600 --> 00:17:05.640 connected to gas or pro paint or whatnot, then you're 319 00:17:05.759 --> 00:17:09.680 still paying for the fuel source or as a battery source, 320 00:17:09.720 --> 00:17:12.400 which is the sun is already handled. So that's an 321 00:17:12.440 --> 00:17:17.200 expense that folks don't necessarily consider. And then Colorado right now, 322 00:17:17.640 --> 00:17:20.720 the state has a tax credit for batteries, so ten 323 00:17:20.759 --> 00:17:23.759 percent of the batteries is covered through that, and then 324 00:17:23.799 --> 00:17:28.119 the other thirty percent is covered through the normal federal 325 00:17:28.200 --> 00:17:32.039 tax credits that are still viable. What who's your utility 326 00:17:32.039 --> 00:17:32.799 company that you have? 327 00:17:34.319 --> 00:17:36.559 Excel They've got a forty five hundred, well a four 328 00:17:36.599 --> 00:17:39.839 thousand up front and then a five hundred dollars over 329 00:17:39.920 --> 00:17:42.680 five years. So it's forty five hundred bucks from Mexcel. 330 00:17:43.680 --> 00:17:46.240 But you know, even at things, you're still looking at 331 00:17:46.240 --> 00:17:46.759 ten grand. 332 00:17:48.319 --> 00:17:52.039 Uh, it's I'm so sorry. So it actually depends on 333 00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:55.480 where you're at with an XL so excels rebate. Are 334 00:17:55.480 --> 00:17:56.839 you retired, are you working? 335 00:17:58.400 --> 00:17:58.720 Working? 336 00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:02.759 So the only reason I ask is retire folks get 337 00:18:02.799 --> 00:18:05.599 six grand per battery, you get fifty seven hundred. So 338 00:18:05.599 --> 00:18:08.279 I'm not sure who told you four, But it's actually 339 00:18:08.279 --> 00:18:11.599 fifty seven hundred with the Tesla because it's depending on 340 00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:15.279 the continuous output of your battery, so each battery has 341 00:18:15.279 --> 00:18:19.480 a different value. So for Tesla's about fifty seven hundred 342 00:18:19.599 --> 00:18:21.839 plus those other tax credits. I think you should be 343 00:18:21.880 --> 00:18:25.640 out of pocket, and me one moment, let me let 344 00:18:25.680 --> 00:18:28.119 me look up the numbers real quick. And then are 345 00:18:28.119 --> 00:18:30.759 you looking at one one battery to do like a 346 00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:33.359 subpanel with just critical loads or are you looking to 347 00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:34.799 do like a whole home backup? 348 00:18:35.960 --> 00:18:39.319 I was looking at the powerwall three plus an extender pack. 349 00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:43.359 Okay, sure, And I guess my question is are you 350 00:18:43.519 --> 00:18:45.680 are you wanting just immediate loads or are you looking 351 00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:49.559 for everything so you would need you would need two 352 00:18:49.640 --> 00:18:55.000 batteries for that, So to do two Tesla batteries with 353 00:18:55.240 --> 00:18:57.799 the benefits that Excel does. Give me one second, let 354 00:18:57.799 --> 00:19:02.880 me just run these numbers real quick. Sure you're looking 355 00:19:02.920 --> 00:19:05.680 at being out of pocket about ten grand for the 356 00:19:05.759 --> 00:19:09.480 whole project versus a whole Yeah, that's. 357 00:19:09.359 --> 00:19:13.480 What That's exactly what he figured. That's exactly what he figured. 358 00:19:13.880 --> 00:19:16.559 But if it has a ten year lifespan, we're down 359 00:19:16.599 --> 00:19:19.920 to one thousand dollars a year. So here's what I'm 360 00:19:20.160 --> 00:19:22.400 I'm saying. You can buy a lot of diesel for 361 00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:26.039 one thousand dollars a year, Brooke, you can, but. 362 00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:28.480 A whole home generator to do the same thing is 363 00:19:28.519 --> 00:19:32.039 like thirty grand. If he's trying to back up his 364 00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:32.440 whole house. 365 00:19:32.559 --> 00:19:35.319 Oh and you don't get any rebate on that. 366 00:19:36.319 --> 00:19:38.079 You don't get any rebase on the generator. 367 00:19:40.599 --> 00:19:42.440 Okay, okay, that's a good point. 368 00:19:42.519 --> 00:19:45.200 Critical loads. If he's trying to back up just critical 369 00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:48.680 loads into a smaller thing than a generator, you could 370 00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:51.720 probably buy one for five grand or something and go 371 00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:54.160 through it. So again, it just depends on what you're 372 00:19:54.160 --> 00:19:54.880 looking to have done. 373 00:19:57.680 --> 00:20:03.519 Okay, Okay, that's good information. Do you have Brook batteries 374 00:20:03.559 --> 00:20:05.599 that are cheaper than the Tesla ones that are just 375 00:20:05.640 --> 00:20:06.039 as good? 376 00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:09.720 Oh yeah, I mean it depends on what you're looking 377 00:20:09.759 --> 00:20:12.400 for with go off grid batteries or on grid the 378 00:20:12.480 --> 00:20:13.920 Tesla just has. Well, let's just. 379 00:20:13.920 --> 00:20:17.279 Let's talk about this particular one. Do you have a 380 00:20:17.319 --> 00:20:21.160 generic substitute for Tesla to do exactly what he wants 381 00:20:21.200 --> 00:20:23.880 to do, that would be less than ten grand out 382 00:20:23.880 --> 00:20:24.359 of pocket. 383 00:20:25.640 --> 00:20:28.440 Yeah, so quick question for you. Are you looking for 384 00:20:28.519 --> 00:20:30.279 something that can give you a lot of power right 385 00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:32.319 away or are you looking for a little bit of 386 00:20:32.359 --> 00:20:33.440 power for a long time? 387 00:20:35.880 --> 00:20:38.279 Well, just to put into my whole house for you 388 00:20:38.279 --> 00:20:39.160 know the point four. 389 00:20:39.279 --> 00:20:41.119 Yeah, like if the power he's talking about, if the 390 00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:43.799 power goes out or he has a cloudy day. 391 00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:48.160 Totally get that. So some folks run like welding machines 392 00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:49.920 or other stuff they want backed up. That's just why 393 00:20:49.920 --> 00:20:50.599 I was asking. 394 00:20:50.920 --> 00:20:52.119 So if they want a lot. 395 00:20:51.920 --> 00:20:54.680 Of power really quickly, solar ridge is better, and you're 396 00:20:54.720 --> 00:20:57.519 looking at about instead of ten grand out of pocket, 397 00:20:57.559 --> 00:21:01.680 probably four grand out of pocket, a significantly cheaper product, 398 00:21:02.079 --> 00:21:04.599 but it doesn't last as long. Your Tesla batteries are 399 00:21:04.839 --> 00:21:07.480 like a slower rule, so they're going to last longer, 400 00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:10.759 but they're going to power your house more evenly too. 401 00:21:11.880 --> 00:21:12.920 It was ten years ago. 402 00:21:12.960 --> 00:21:17.319 So is Tesla? Is Tesla the best? I'm sorry if 403 00:21:17.359 --> 00:21:18.359 you don't, sorry if. 404 00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:21.400 You don't need the power really quickly. Yes, Tesla is 405 00:21:21.400 --> 00:21:22.440 the best battery. 406 00:21:22.079 --> 00:21:22.599 Of the market. 407 00:21:24.880 --> 00:21:28.559 It's but the the ambridge, Like how fast you can 408 00:21:28.599 --> 00:21:30.519 get that power is a lot slower. So if you 409 00:21:30.559 --> 00:21:33.440 need a big kick right away, which some folks need, 410 00:21:34.079 --> 00:21:35.960 then Solar Rige is a better battery. 411 00:21:37.279 --> 00:21:39.359 The biggest kick I would need is my AC units 412 00:21:39.359 --> 00:21:39.880 starting up. 413 00:21:41.720 --> 00:21:43.359 Yeah, Tesla would be totally fine with that. 414 00:21:44.200 --> 00:21:47.240 Yep, that's not a problem with But would you okay, okay, 415 00:21:47.319 --> 00:21:52.480 So when we talk about battery backup, do you recommend them, Brooke. 416 00:21:54.279 --> 00:21:56.559 Do I recommend Tesla's Yeah, that's all we install for 417 00:21:56.640 --> 00:21:58.720 battery backup if they're on or off grid. 418 00:21:58.960 --> 00:22:02.400 It's very rare that we don't, Okay, okay. 419 00:22:02.799 --> 00:22:08.200 And do you ever have clients that go instead with generators? 420 00:22:09.759 --> 00:22:12.160 Yeah, I mean we have clients that do a combination 421 00:22:12.319 --> 00:22:14.519 of them. So I've got a client right now that 422 00:22:14.559 --> 00:22:17.640 we're doing batteries and a generator, so he can kind 423 00:22:17.640 --> 00:22:19.599 of have the best of both worlds depending on what's 424 00:22:19.599 --> 00:22:22.559 going on. I have clients that use a small generator 425 00:22:22.640 --> 00:22:25.480 to power the battery so they don't get an extra battery. 426 00:22:25.720 --> 00:22:27.440 There's a lot of ways that you can put a 427 00:22:27.480 --> 00:22:28.640 backup system together. 428 00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:35.440 And then one other question, how hard and fast is 429 00:22:35.440 --> 00:22:38.000 that ten year life span on the Tesla power Wall. 430 00:22:41.599 --> 00:22:46.720 I mean, it's just a warranty for it, so it's new. 431 00:22:46.880 --> 00:22:49.519 The Tesla Powerwall three just went on the market last year. 432 00:22:49.680 --> 00:22:52.160 My guess is the battery probably last fifteen to twenty 433 00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:54.519 years in my opinion, because usually it's a couple of 434 00:22:54.599 --> 00:22:56.279 years after warranty that it's still kicking. 435 00:22:56.400 --> 00:22:59.640 That's that's what Brooke, That's what I was thinking. Because 436 00:22:59.640 --> 00:23:01.640 of bat there is the batteries a battery, and the 437 00:23:01.680 --> 00:23:04.880 newer batteries are way better and unless you have constant 438 00:23:05.039 --> 00:23:08.759 drain and refill, I think it would last longer. 439 00:23:11.359 --> 00:23:14.000 Yeah, yeah, it's it's a great option, especially if you're 440 00:23:14.039 --> 00:23:16.920 looking at spending thirty grand on a generator versus ten 441 00:23:17.039 --> 00:23:19.880 out of pocket. You know you have pa. 442 00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:21.880 Thank you, I got to take a break, and that's 443 00:23:21.920 --> 00:23:25.279 Brooke from red Rocks roof Andsolar redrocksars dot com three 444 00:23:25.319 --> 00:23:27.799 oh three seven zero four two four four nine, Tom, 445 00:23:27.839 --> 00:23:31.200 thank you for stirring that discussion.

Hi Tom Artino, Welcome to the show. 459 00:24:31.079 --> 00:24:33.480 Three O three seven one three talk seven one three 460 00:24:33.440 --> 00:24:37.480 eight two five five. All right, So our discussion today, 461 00:24:38.039 --> 00:24:41.240 uh has been a little bit of everything, well not everything, 462 00:24:41.279 --> 00:24:45.519 but we've been talking about solar systems, battery backups, generators. 463 00:24:45.720 --> 00:24:48.200 One guy says, look, I disagree with Brookes. The generators 464 00:24:48.200 --> 00:24:50.119 are great. You can get a small generator on your 465 00:24:50.119 --> 00:24:52.559 whole house. You don't even need an electrician. Well, I 466 00:24:52.559 --> 00:24:56.240 don't know about that. I would be very careful about that. Obviously, 467 00:24:56.240 --> 00:24:58.839 if you're handy, you may not need one. But if 468 00:24:58.839 --> 00:25:00.720 you're going into the grid, I think you need to permit. 469 00:25:02.440 --> 00:25:07.440 But we're also talking about EV's. I mean, are EV's 470 00:25:07.519 --> 00:25:11.519 truly going to take over? And when I mean, we 471 00:25:11.640 --> 00:25:19.119 have government mandates. And while you know Trump says drill, baby, drill, 472 00:25:19.160 --> 00:25:21.759 I love that. Since I have a lot of vacant 473 00:25:22.720 --> 00:25:26.200 royalty land, a lot of it, thousands of acres, I 474 00:25:26.200 --> 00:25:28.559 would love nothing more than for them to drill. I 475 00:25:28.599 --> 00:25:32.359 don't think we necessarily need to drill for cars. You know, 476 00:25:32.440 --> 00:25:39.480 there's way there's petroleum products. Oil is used for so 477 00:25:39.599 --> 00:25:42.880 many things that if you looked at a typical room 478 00:25:43.000 --> 00:25:47.920 or downtown and took away oil products, you would be shocked, 479 00:25:48.920 --> 00:25:55.960 I mean shocked at what would be missing. Three O 480 00:25:56.079 --> 00:25:59.200 three seven one three talk is our number. Now, So 481 00:25:59.400 --> 00:26:05.000 EV's Tesla's are they truly out ahead? One thing I 482 00:26:05.039 --> 00:26:07.079 want to say about Tesla's, and they may have changed 483 00:26:07.079 --> 00:26:09.799 now my son I got him a little Model three, 484 00:26:11.799 --> 00:26:16.440 and one thing I want to say about it, the quality, 485 00:26:16.559 --> 00:26:19.519 the finish and trim is not great. I don't know 486 00:26:19.519 --> 00:26:21.319 if you've noticed that, Kevin, or if you have ever 487 00:26:21.319 --> 00:26:27.440 looked Deputy d Yeah. One, yeah, Mark loves his mondoleesque 488 00:26:27.440 --> 00:26:30.079 but if you look closely at that interior, it doesn't 489 00:26:30.200 --> 00:26:33.519 It doesn't compare to a Mercedes doesn't even come close 490 00:26:33.559 --> 00:26:36.039 to a Beamer or a Mercedes. Not even close. Now 491 00:26:36.079 --> 00:26:39.119 maybe the new ones do, but that disappointed me when 492 00:26:39.160 --> 00:26:41.920 I saw when I was looking at a plaid, when 493 00:26:41.920 --> 00:26:43.880 Mark was looking at his ass and I decided not 494 00:26:43.960 --> 00:26:47.920 to go with the plaid. But when I look closely 495 00:26:47.960 --> 00:26:51.559 at it, I was shocked. And I'm talking about knobs 496 00:26:52.359 --> 00:26:58.599 and levers and trim and stitching. I was shocked at 497 00:26:58.599 --> 00:27:05.000 the lack of detail. And some of these knobs they 498 00:27:05.440 --> 00:27:08.480 break and crack and they're brittle. I mean, I just 499 00:27:08.559 --> 00:27:12.400 think the quality of components in the older ones. When 500 00:27:12.440 --> 00:27:14.559 I say older, I'm talking about just a few years ago. 501 00:27:15.119 --> 00:27:18.359 It's not there. Did the interior change all? You know, 502 00:27:19.000 --> 00:27:22.680 when you talk about interiors, okay, it's hard to beat 503 00:27:23.039 --> 00:27:26.279 a Beamer or a Mercedes. Interior is hard. And when 504 00:27:26.279 --> 00:27:28.200 we say Mercedes, we're talking about a Lot and Beamer 505 00:27:28.240 --> 00:27:31.279 a lot because they both have a Maybach and Rolls 506 00:27:31.359 --> 00:27:36.000 Royce behind him. Those are beautiful, beautiful finish and trims 507 00:27:36.079 --> 00:27:40.359 or fit and trim. And when you're talking about another 508 00:27:40.480 --> 00:27:43.079 American mode, do you know who has the best American 509 00:27:43.160 --> 00:27:47.359 made trim cars in the world? In my opinion, who 510 00:27:47.400 --> 00:27:49.599 would you think I'm gonna say, keV, who do you think. 511 00:27:49.640 --> 00:27:52.000 I thought You're gonna go Cadillac or Lincoln or one 512 00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:52.319 of those. 513 00:27:52.440 --> 00:27:55.000 Yeah, light, well that would be an obvious choice. The 514 00:27:55.039 --> 00:27:57.759 best trim in the world that I've seen is a Corvette. 515 00:27:57.960 --> 00:27:59.720 Yep. Yeah, They're definitely up there. 516 00:28:00.920 --> 00:28:03.920 You look at that fit that finished, that trim, that interior. 517 00:28:05.400 --> 00:28:08.799 Oh my god. I mean now that and to be 518 00:28:09.079 --> 00:28:11.440 I don't mean to slight American workers, but it looks 519 00:28:11.480 --> 00:28:16.480 like it was. It's German manufacturing or look. Hey, hey, 520 00:28:16.559 --> 00:28:17.440 I bring Japanese. 521 00:28:17.880 --> 00:28:21.319 Hold on, hold on, Tom, I have to chime in here. 522 00:28:21.960 --> 00:28:27.759 I said Chevrolet and you said Corvette. Isn't that made 523 00:28:27.759 --> 00:28:28.599 by Chevrolet? 524 00:28:30.240 --> 00:28:34.440 Yeah? See, kid, it's almost like it's almost like a 525 00:28:34.440 --> 00:28:38.640 separate It really is almost it's almost like a separate company. 526 00:28:39.319 --> 00:28:42.119 Oh well about cars. 527 00:28:43.599 --> 00:28:46.039 Yes, you knew that Chevy made the Corvette, and that 528 00:28:46.200 --> 00:28:47.039 is amazing to me. 529 00:28:47.400 --> 00:28:50.519 I said that before you even said the Corvette. You 530 00:28:50.640 --> 00:28:51.839 got to give me some props. 531 00:28:51.920 --> 00:28:54.960 Yeah, but Chevy in general is not good. When I 532 00:28:55.000 --> 00:28:58.599 said trim and you said Chevy, and I said Corvette, 533 00:28:58.640 --> 00:29:02.599 that's their world's apart. You have some crap Chevy trim 534 00:29:02.799 --> 00:29:05.720 and you have some really nice Chevy trim and let's 535 00:29:05.720 --> 00:29:09.680 talk general motors. You have good the same Cadillacs are nice, 536 00:29:09.799 --> 00:29:12.839 that they're nice. A lot of the Cadillac and the 537 00:29:12.880 --> 00:29:18.799 Corvette stylings they share engineers and stuff. But it's a 538 00:29:18.839 --> 00:29:24.039 really look, it's a really new world out there when 539 00:29:24.079 --> 00:29:27.000 it comes to cars, because now you're not only looking 540 00:29:27.000 --> 00:29:32.440 at making things beautiful but making them efficient. Light and again, 541 00:29:32.519 --> 00:29:35.200 I want to hear from people who are going to 542 00:29:35.240 --> 00:29:36.920 buy their next car and is going to be an 543 00:29:36.920 --> 00:29:40.960 EV or who will go down fighting and never get 544 00:29:40.960 --> 00:29:43.319 an EV. They figure, I'm at the point of my 545 00:29:43.400 --> 00:29:46.720 life right now. Like, for example, if you're forty, do 546 00:29:46.799 --> 00:29:48.000 you think you can go to the rest of your 547 00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:50.680 life with new cars if you want them? Like, however 548 00:29:50.720 --> 00:29:52.480 many new cars you get every three or four or 549 00:29:52.519 --> 00:29:54.440 five years. Can you go to the rest of your 550 00:29:54.440 --> 00:29:58.519 life at forty with today's marketplace and buy new cars 551 00:29:58.880 --> 00:30:02.680 and have gasoline cars until you die? What do you think, keV? 552 00:30:04.079 --> 00:30:06.559 Yeah, I think it's going to be more generational than 553 00:30:06.599 --> 00:30:09.279 anything I think. You know, as you're I think as 554 00:30:09.279 --> 00:30:11.039 you're going through, I'm starting to go through. I just 555 00:30:11.079 --> 00:30:15.480 don't drive as much anymore, you know, so then if 556 00:30:15.519 --> 00:30:19.640 you take eight, go ahead, Yeah, it makes more sense 557 00:30:19.960 --> 00:30:21.440 at this time of my life than it would have 558 00:30:21.440 --> 00:30:22.200 twenty years ago. 559 00:30:23.759 --> 00:30:27.079 Take eighty five years old, and then minus forty you're 560 00:30:27.119 --> 00:30:31.960 forty years old. So let's say you have forty five 561 00:30:32.000 --> 00:30:35.480 more years, and maybe you won't drive the last five. 562 00:30:35.720 --> 00:30:38.720 Who knows, I mean maybe you will. So let's say 563 00:30:38.720 --> 00:30:41.160 you're going to drive the whole forty five. And let's 564 00:30:41.160 --> 00:30:45.559 say you change cars every let's just say four years, 565 00:30:46.200 --> 00:30:49.960 so you have eleven cars. Do you think you can go, 566 00:30:50.119 --> 00:30:53.920 at forty years old, right now today, eleven more new 567 00:30:54.000 --> 00:30:58.599 cars and make them all gasoline. I don't mean eleven 568 00:30:58.640 --> 00:30:59.440 in the next two years. 569 00:31:00.079 --> 00:31:03.599 For the next whether it's EV or something that's going 570 00:31:03.680 --> 00:31:04.319 to replace EV. 571 00:31:04.400 --> 00:31:05.440 I don't think you can. 572 00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:06.880 I don't think so either. 573 00:31:06.920 --> 00:31:09.440 I don't think you can.

Stump the mechanic. Oh, 602 00:32:42.000 --> 00:32:44.319 I'm going to try to Okay, So here it is, guys. 603 00:32:45.039 --> 00:32:48.200 So I recently disconnected the battery on my car to 604 00:32:48.279 --> 00:32:51.960 do some some service and keep getting zapped. I then 605 00:32:52.039 --> 00:32:55.799 reconnected the battery and drove away. Now, when I approached 606 00:32:55.799 --> 00:33:00.880 the very first stop sign and stopped, the engine almost died. 607 00:33:01.519 --> 00:33:03.839 And I was looking at the tachometer and it dropped 608 00:33:03.920 --> 00:33:06.880 well below its normal low idol of six hundred and 609 00:33:06.920 --> 00:33:09.319 to maybe a couple of hundred and almost died. 610 00:33:10.039 --> 00:33:12.359 Why it had to relearn the eye? 611 00:33:12.440 --> 00:33:16.160 Wow, Well, you take the voltage away, it loses all 612 00:33:16.200 --> 00:33:19.920 its programming, so it it actually learns your driving habits, 613 00:33:19.920 --> 00:33:21.559 and it can it can program to that. 614 00:33:21.680 --> 00:33:24.440 You're absolutely right. But now wait a minute, Wait a minute, Kevin, 615 00:33:24.519 --> 00:33:27.279 there's no way to preserve the settings when you discant 616 00:33:27.359 --> 00:33:28.200 the battery if. 617 00:33:28.119 --> 00:33:30.920 You take the battery off, but you keep voltage applied 618 00:33:30.920 --> 00:33:32.799 to the system. But he was trying to keep voltage 619 00:33:32.799 --> 00:33:36.000 out of the system. Now, Kevin is absolutely right. 620 00:33:36.119 --> 00:33:40.920 However, to take it one step further, what neglected maintenance 621 00:33:41.480 --> 00:33:44.640 does that reveal in my engine ground? 622 00:33:44.920 --> 00:33:46.440 Nope, maintenance, not repair. 623 00:33:46.599 --> 00:33:47.400 Throttle cleaning. 624 00:33:47.759 --> 00:33:52.960 You're absolutely right, throttle body cleaning is now why why? 625 00:33:53.039 --> 00:33:53.200 Yeah? 626 00:33:53.240 --> 00:33:57.359 Why Kevin, because it uses vacuum. It creates a mini 627 00:33:57.440 --> 00:33:59.519 vacuum leak to raise the IDOL and if you have 628 00:33:59.559 --> 00:34:02.119 too much harbin build up, it's plugging the ports it 629 00:34:02.200 --> 00:34:05.799 uses to create the vacuum leak, and the throttle won't 630 00:34:05.839 --> 00:34:06.440 close all the way. 631 00:34:06.839 --> 00:34:08.480 What would that have to do with the battery? What 632 00:34:08.960 --> 00:34:10.960 would that have to do with disconnecting nothing? 633 00:34:11.000 --> 00:34:13.199 This was the second question on to the first. 634 00:34:13.679 --> 00:34:16.760 Well, now, the reason that Kevin, I believe that the 635 00:34:16.840 --> 00:34:20.079 reason that disconnecting the battery, you've revealed that problem is 636 00:34:20.599 --> 00:34:24.039 as the throttle body got dirtier and dirtier over the years, 637 00:34:24.559 --> 00:34:27.679 the engine learned that and it may compensate for it. 638 00:34:27.960 --> 00:34:31.400 When I disconnected the battery, that learning went away, so 639 00:34:31.440 --> 00:34:34.559 it went back to factory defaults, and factory defaults are 640 00:34:34.559 --> 00:34:37.480 based on a clean, perfectly brand new throttle body. Yep, 641 00:34:37.599 --> 00:34:41.559 absolutely right, could not stump the excent. Very cool. 642 00:34:41.679 --> 00:34:43.920 We got more coming up on the Troubleshooter Show.

His deputy bow around because what he did yesterday. 674 00:36:43.679 --> 00:36:45.440 I know we've been talking about it a lot, but 675 00:36:45.679 --> 00:36:48.480 it actually happened yesterday. So get ball on the line. 676 00:36:48.480 --> 00:36:50.920 I want to hear about it. I mean, this guy 677 00:36:51.000 --> 00:36:53.800 went the extra mile. I mean when we talk about 678 00:36:53.840 --> 00:36:57.320 recovering money and saving and you know, how do we 679 00:36:57.360 --> 00:37:01.000 put a barometer on things? Right, Well, it's easy. For example, 680 00:37:01.079 --> 00:37:05.000 somebody bought a car and they get a refund, it's 681 00:37:05.039 --> 00:37:07.320 the amount of that. Right If somebody has a roof 682 00:37:07.760 --> 00:37:09.920 and they weren't doing the roof and it was a 683 00:37:09.960 --> 00:37:12.199 sixty thousand dollars roof and we get them to finish, 684 00:37:12.760 --> 00:37:15.440 we count that. And you know that's why I say, 685 00:37:16.800 --> 00:37:21.440 it's basically refunds and cash back. And so I say, hey, 686 00:37:21.440 --> 00:37:25.079 we recovered hundreds of thousand dollars of cash, mergdies, exchanges, refunds, 687 00:37:25.119 --> 00:37:28.960 and services. So it's really a barometer. It's not a 688 00:37:29.079 --> 00:37:35.800 literal dollar amount necessarily in every case. So what Deputy 689 00:37:35.800 --> 00:37:37.719 bo did though I want to talk about coming up. 690 00:37:39.440 --> 00:37:44.760 So we were playing Stump the Mechanic and also Stump 691 00:37:44.840 --> 00:37:46.199 the what d you called it? 692 00:37:47.000 --> 00:37:47.119 Uh? 693 00:37:47.199 --> 00:37:50.800 Yesterday was Stump that War and today was Stump the Mechanic. 694 00:37:52.199 --> 00:37:55.480 Okay, now I want you to also did you already 695 00:37:55.519 --> 00:37:57.719 play Stump the Lawyer?

Kevin, it is my opinion that one 728 00:39:21.840 --> 00:39:25.440 of the most neglected services, if not the most neglected service, 729 00:39:26.039 --> 00:39:27.079 is coolant change. 730 00:39:27.639 --> 00:39:29.239 Can you tell us if that's. 731 00:39:29.079 --> 00:39:33.079 Actually important to do and if so, why, well, well, 732 00:39:33.119 --> 00:39:34.159 first let me ask him this. 733 00:39:34.599 --> 00:39:37.320 Let me ask him this first, Kevin, is it one 734 00:39:37.320 --> 00:39:38.880 of the most neglected services. 735 00:39:39.320 --> 00:39:43.360 I think it's up there because of the manufacturers continually 736 00:39:43.400 --> 00:39:46.320 say you have lifetime anti freeze or lifetime oils and 737 00:39:46.400 --> 00:39:47.079 things like that. 738 00:39:47.639 --> 00:39:48.400 It's just not. 739 00:39:48.280 --> 00:39:51.840 True because it builds up acids and things inside the 740 00:39:51.920 --> 00:39:54.719 coolant as it breaks down. There's lubricants that break down. 741 00:39:55.320 --> 00:39:58.280 It's just the benefit far outweighs the you know, the 742 00:39:58.360 --> 00:40:01.239 cost to just get your flui. It's flushed, you know, 743 00:40:01.239 --> 00:40:03.639 every three to five years, depending on the vehicle, depending 744 00:40:03.639 --> 00:40:06.239 on miles. It's not that big a deal. But yeah, 745 00:40:06.320 --> 00:40:09.320 don't it has to be done. It is a challenge. 746 00:40:09.760 --> 00:40:12.000 And this what are some of the what are some 747 00:40:12.039 --> 00:40:14.440 of the things that could happen to your automobile if 748 00:40:14.480 --> 00:40:16.760 you just never ever change the coolant. 749 00:40:17.599 --> 00:40:21.199 Well, again, there's acids and the pH changes and stuff 750 00:40:21.320 --> 00:40:23.400 that happen, and then the lubricants that are in there 751 00:40:23.400 --> 00:40:25.840 to lubricate your water pump and seals and everything in 752 00:40:25.880 --> 00:40:30.119 the coolant, you can start having contaminations and corrosion and 753 00:40:30.239 --> 00:40:33.519 other properties that are in the interfreeze. That that's what 754 00:40:33.559 --> 00:40:37.519 its benefit is is anti corrosion and lubricants they break 755 00:40:37.519 --> 00:40:37.840 it down. 756 00:40:37.920 --> 00:40:39.960 And Kevin, you know, one of the Toyota mechanics I 757 00:40:40.280 --> 00:40:43.320 recently discussed this with, said that a lot of the 758 00:40:43.639 --> 00:40:47.880 head gasket failures in certain Toyota engines are due to 759 00:40:47.960 --> 00:40:51.920 neglected coolant maintenance because it becomes so corrosive it actually 760 00:40:51.960 --> 00:40:53.880 eats through the head gas you get through the gasket. 761 00:40:53.960 --> 00:40:57.000 And Kevin, what is a head gasket project cost them? 762 00:40:57.000 --> 00:41:01.159 A forerunner? Yeah, it's three three to five thousand, depending 763 00:41:01.159 --> 00:41:03.480 on you know, what it needs when you're in there. 764 00:41:03.559 --> 00:41:04.960 Yeah, yes, it's cheap insurance. 765 00:41:05.000 --> 00:41:05.920 It's not worth it. 766 00:41:05.960 --> 00:41:08.280 I don't know why people believe the lifetime and you know, 767 00:41:08.400 --> 00:41:10.400 extended one hundred thousand miles. 768 00:41:10.119 --> 00:41:13.880 Well, I know, and the same with extended oil changes. 769 00:41:13.920 --> 00:41:16.199 Now granted we don't have to do three thousand miles 770 00:41:16.199 --> 00:41:19.159 anymore with the new oils and stuff, but you certainly 771 00:41:19.199 --> 00:41:20.559 should never go be ten. 772 00:41:20.960 --> 00:41:24.599 No, I absolutely not. That's that's the the Unless you're 773 00:41:24.639 --> 00:41:27.079 all highway, you can go up to ten. But if 774 00:41:27.079 --> 00:41:29.159 you're mixed, I think seventy five hundred. 775 00:41:29.239 --> 00:41:32.440 I do every ten thousand miles, I go in for service, 776 00:41:32.800 --> 00:41:35.400 and that's what the book says for my car, every 777 00:41:35.440 --> 00:41:37.599 ten thousand months. So I've actually only had it in 778 00:41:37.679 --> 00:41:42.000 for three services. You know, think about it. That's pretty 779 00:41:42.079 --> 00:41:45.119 damn cool. Every ten thousand miles. You don't think that's 780 00:41:45.199 --> 00:41:46.079 going too far. 781 00:41:46.000 --> 00:41:46.440 Do you know? 782 00:41:46.519 --> 00:41:49.039 I think that's pushing the limit, because we're seeing a 783 00:41:49.079 --> 00:41:51.960 lot of vehicles in the seventy to eighty thousand miles 784 00:41:51.960 --> 00:41:55.360 with sludge, and it's built up from oils breaking down. 785 00:41:55.400 --> 00:41:57.320 That's the only thing that causes sludge. 786 00:41:57.880 --> 00:42:01.400 So again the benefit of extending it, but it just 787 00:42:01.519 --> 00:42:03.800 isn't there, not for the cost of an oil change 788 00:42:03.880 --> 00:42:05.599 or a cooling flush. 789 00:42:05.639 --> 00:42:08.920 And Tom, I mean, Kevin doesn't oil sludge. I think 790 00:42:08.920 --> 00:42:11.000 a lot of people don't understand that oil sludge. No, 791 00:42:11.079 --> 00:42:14.480 it sounds kind of icky. Actually leads to engine failure, 792 00:42:14.639 --> 00:42:16.880 like engine failure. 793 00:42:16.519 --> 00:42:17.639 Get it out of the engine. 794 00:42:18.039 --> 00:42:20.280 You know, Toyota had a big problem with that, didn't they, 795 00:42:20.320 --> 00:42:21.000 Kevin one time. 796 00:42:22.320 --> 00:42:25.800 Volkswagen was the one that was brutal. Yeah, they just 797 00:42:25.880 --> 00:42:28.400 they sludge up so heavy in there you'll never get 798 00:42:28.440 --> 00:42:29.880 it out. You can change your well once a week 799 00:42:29.920 --> 00:42:31.039 for a year, it's still in there. 800 00:42:31.119 --> 00:42:31.320 Yeah. 801 00:42:31.320 --> 00:42:33.440 This happened to my friend's Kia just about a year 802 00:42:33.440 --> 00:42:35.639 and a half ago, and that was an infamous recall 803 00:42:35.760 --> 00:42:39.119 they did, and they swapped out her engine for free. 804 00:42:39.360 --> 00:42:40.519 But it was sludge. 805 00:42:40.599 --> 00:42:44.360 Why why let me ask you this then, why do 806 00:42:44.559 --> 00:42:47.840 Japanese cars or did Japanese cars have more of a 807 00:42:47.880 --> 00:42:49.960 problem with sludge than other cars? Why? 808 00:42:51.840 --> 00:42:55.239 I think it's just the service intervals, there's no you know, 809 00:42:55.280 --> 00:42:58.519 the heat and everything, it all accumulates. So everybody's trying 810 00:42:58.559 --> 00:43:01.039 to push the window on oil. Change it again. I 811 00:43:01.199 --> 00:43:04.119 don't understand the benefit. You know, save one hundred bucks 812 00:43:04.159 --> 00:43:09.440 and it costs you three grand. It's filly. That's the bottom. 813 00:43:09.199 --> 00:43:13.039 Mile three seven three or three seven one three tall. 814 00:43:13.480 --> 00:43:18.159 I have a text here and it says, if you 815 00:43:18.400 --> 00:43:22.519 have a small leak in your cooling system, is it 816 00:43:22.639 --> 00:43:26.360 acceptable to putting these stop leaks they sell? They claim 817 00:43:26.400 --> 00:43:27.079 they're permanent. 818 00:43:28.280 --> 00:43:30.679 No, no, just simple. 819 00:43:30.760 --> 00:43:31.440 You don't like that. 820 00:43:31.559 --> 00:43:34.119 No, they're they're indiscriminate. You know, it doesn't know a 821 00:43:34.199 --> 00:43:37.119 leak from a from a small capillary and a radiator 822 00:43:37.280 --> 00:43:41.559 or a or your heater core, so it up your system. Yeah, 823 00:43:41.559 --> 00:43:44.800 it doesn't know what it's plugging. Yeah, yeah, get the leak. 824 00:43:44.920 --> 00:43:47.280 I never trust any of those. I never Yeah, I 825 00:43:47.360 --> 00:43:49.719 never trust any of those that say they're permanent, like 826 00:43:49.719 --> 00:43:52.239 like even like a fix a flat, although I don't 827 00:43:52.239 --> 00:43:55.480 think fix a flat ever claims it's. 828 00:43:55.519 --> 00:43:57.880 Well and it's not detrimental to the tire. It's getting 829 00:43:57.880 --> 00:43:59.639 you to the next place to get it fixed. 830 00:44:00.320 --> 00:44:01.039 Spot. 831 00:44:01.280 --> 00:44:03.760 Since we're on cars and we've been talking, EV's we've 832 00:44:03.760 --> 00:44:06.639 been talking cars, we've been talking something mechanic. Here's something 833 00:44:06.639 --> 00:44:10.360 I want to put out there. In all of these years, 834 00:44:11.079 --> 00:44:14.239 they haven't improved on the tire. I mean, obviously they've 835 00:44:14.239 --> 00:44:16.599 they've improved on the compounds and the treads and all that, 836 00:44:16.679 --> 00:44:19.400 but it's still air and a cylinder, and I think 837 00:44:19.440 --> 00:44:21.880 it's stupid. First of all, why can't they be square? 838 00:44:21.920 --> 00:44:25.440 I'm just kidding. No, But on a tire. Here's the 839 00:44:25.440 --> 00:44:28.639 main deal. Here's what I'm thinking. I saw, if you 840 00:44:28.679 --> 00:44:32.960 can picture what a honey cone looks like a honeycomb. 841 00:44:33.880 --> 00:44:37.920 While the little cells, I saw a profile of a 842 00:44:38.000 --> 00:44:42.360 tire one time that was thousands of these cells. It 843 00:44:42.440 --> 00:44:46.480 was all made of rubber and no air. In other words, 844 00:44:46.199 --> 00:44:53.239 that constant the cells made up the cushion instead of air. Now, 845 00:44:53.320 --> 00:44:58.199 obviously there's naturally occurring air in the cells between the cells, 846 00:44:58.440 --> 00:45:02.840 but it wasn't pressurized. And then it was all wrapped 847 00:45:03.440 --> 00:45:07.280 in a steel belted radio. Now, think about this, You 848 00:45:07.280 --> 00:45:09.880 would never have air, You would never leak ever, think 849 00:45:09.920 --> 00:45:11.000 about it. What do you guys think? 850 00:45:11.079 --> 00:45:11.159 No? 851 00:45:11.239 --> 00:45:12.880 I think's an awesome Yeah. I mean you see a lot 852 00:45:12.880 --> 00:45:14.360 of that on bicycle tires too. 853 00:45:14.440 --> 00:45:16.039 But why don't they do any of that? 854 00:45:16.360 --> 00:45:16.639 Why? 855 00:45:17.440 --> 00:45:19.880 I mean, it would still wear out because you have 856 00:45:19.960 --> 00:45:22.039 the outer you know, you have the tread that will 857 00:45:22.079 --> 00:45:25.360 wear out, but you don't have air ever to worry about. Ever. 858 00:45:25.480 --> 00:45:28.519 A nail would do nothing to that. Why don't people 859 00:45:28.679 --> 00:45:29.559 ever look at stuff? 860 00:45:29.559 --> 00:45:32.199 It's like a hybrid run flat basically is what it is. 861 00:45:32.239 --> 00:45:34.559 But I'm sure they're working on it. I think it's 862 00:45:34.599 --> 00:45:35.440 just not cost effect. 863 00:45:35.559 --> 00:45:38.280 What is a run flat? What's inside of a run flat? 864 00:45:38.679 --> 00:45:41.679 Just it's it's just thicker side walls and everything else 865 00:45:41.679 --> 00:45:43.679 to go with it. They're they're impossible to get them 866 00:45:43.719 --> 00:45:46.440 off the rims because there's no flex to them. It's 867 00:45:46.519 --> 00:45:47.840 just a lot thicker sidewill. 868 00:45:49.239 --> 00:45:50.199 But is it? Is it? 869 00:45:50.280 --> 00:45:50.639 Okay? 870 00:45:50.719 --> 00:45:54.320 That's all it is basically. Yeah, it's oversimplified, but yeah, 871 00:45:54.360 --> 00:45:55.719 it's just more of a solid tire. 872 00:45:57.920 --> 00:45:58.760 So that's okay. 873 00:45:58.880 --> 00:46:00.840 Technology. Well I'm gonna that's what's coming. 874 00:46:00.920 --> 00:46:04.920 Yeah, okay, I want do you have a quick stunt? 875 00:46:04.960 --> 00:46:06.119 The lawyer question for me? 876 00:46:07.079 --> 00:46:07.480 Sure? 877 00:46:07.639 --> 00:46:07.880 You know. 878 00:46:08.039 --> 00:46:11.440 The my most the one I was most interested in is, uh, 879 00:46:11.960 --> 00:46:16.000 would would John Fuller recommend that people who install dashcam 880 00:46:16.119 --> 00:46:20.840 cameras like I did deactivate the audio audio recording feature 881 00:46:21.079 --> 00:46:26.480 like I did. That was an interesting question because and 882 00:46:26.760 --> 00:46:30.800 the reason is that that audio might provide evidence that's 883 00:46:30.840 --> 00:46:34.199 contrary to my best interest in an accident such as 884 00:46:34.400 --> 00:46:34.639 you have. 885 00:46:34.639 --> 00:46:36.599 But so could video. So could video? 886 00:46:37.000 --> 00:46:40.039 Really forward looking video doesn't record me talking on the 887 00:46:40.079 --> 00:46:44.800 phone or looking for or looking for a particular address 888 00:46:44.800 --> 00:46:49.000 in a building, or eating soup or shaving or something 889 00:46:49.079 --> 00:46:52.760 you know, and and and and so it could be 890 00:46:52.840 --> 00:46:56.559 that the opposing side could make an argument that, hey, I, 891 00:46:56.559 --> 00:46:59.079 if I didn't cause the accident, I at least contributed 892 00:46:59.199 --> 00:47:02.119 to it because I wasn't able to react quickly enough 893 00:47:02.119 --> 00:47:03.559 because I was yammering on the phone. 894 00:47:04.679 --> 00:47:09.000 See that's yeah, that's a weird kind of question. That's 895 00:47:09.039 --> 00:47:12.320 not really a stump, but uh, what's your opinion kind 896 00:47:12.400 --> 00:47:16.920 of thing.

And do you have 941 00:49:48.519 --> 00:49:51.280 any more? And by the way, I want you to 942 00:49:51.280 --> 00:49:52.800 call if you have a problem question to plan. I 943 00:49:52.800 --> 00:49:54.239 do have some texts I'll get to in a minute. 944 00:49:55.159 --> 00:49:57.960 They're just not all that compelling, but they're asking advice 945 00:49:58.960 --> 00:50:02.280 on cars. Guy said they are working on a tire 946 00:50:03.559 --> 00:50:06.639 that needs no air. Someone else said there is a 947 00:50:06.719 --> 00:50:11.400 version of that out already, but for some reason, airless 948 00:50:11.440 --> 00:50:17.440 tires have not become commercially viable, and I don't know why. Now. 949 00:50:18.599 --> 00:50:20.280 One thing a lot of the big trucks do in 950 00:50:20.320 --> 00:50:24.239 the RVs is they use molecules that are bigger than air, 951 00:50:24.559 --> 00:50:28.159 so they don't slow leak as much. And I'm talking 952 00:50:28.199 --> 00:50:30.000 about nitrogen. Have you heard of that? keV? 953 00:50:30.480 --> 00:50:30.559 Oh? 954 00:50:30.679 --> 00:50:32.920 Yeah, run especially a little cooler too, so you know 955 00:50:33.119 --> 00:50:34.320 the tire doesn't wear as long. 956 00:50:34.960 --> 00:50:36.320 Yeah, no nitrogen. 957 00:50:35.800 --> 00:50:39.079 So where do you buy nitrogen? Where do you buy nitrogen? 958 00:50:39.159 --> 00:50:40.920 Well, any discount tire has it? 959 00:50:42.960 --> 00:50:45.320 No? Really no, yeah, most tire places. Can you ask 960 00:50:45.400 --> 00:50:48.400 that your tires? Now, what happens if you have nitrogen 961 00:50:48.480 --> 00:50:50.840 in your tires and you got to refill or you 962 00:50:50.920 --> 00:50:53.840 got to top them off and you don't have nitrogen? 963 00:50:53.880 --> 00:50:54.920 Can you mix air any. 964 00:50:54.840 --> 00:50:57.000 Yes, yeah, it's not going to hurt anything. But if 965 00:50:57.039 --> 00:51:00.440 you have a green cap on the valve stem, it's notitrogen. 966 00:51:02.719 --> 00:51:05.159 So what's the benefit of nitrogen? 967 00:51:05.159 --> 00:51:08.079 The molecules are molecules, and it runs a little cooler, 968 00:51:08.440 --> 00:51:11.400 it can dissipate heat better than the than the standard 969 00:51:11.480 --> 00:51:12.119 air composible. 970 00:51:12.199 --> 00:51:14.960 It's it expensive compared to well compared to air, air 971 00:51:15.440 --> 00:51:18.760 is really other than paying for the compressor when you 972 00:51:18.760 --> 00:51:19.239 stop it a. 973 00:51:19.239 --> 00:51:22.800 Cast, It's just an apparatus that pulls it out of 974 00:51:22.840 --> 00:51:25.679 the air. It's nothing, nothing fancy. 975 00:51:26.039 --> 00:51:28.320 Wait a minute, so it's not like a gash. You 976 00:51:28.360 --> 00:51:31.199 have to go buy a bulk. You can actually you can. Wait, 977 00:51:31.360 --> 00:51:34.159 Could I get from a hangar? Could I get literally 978 00:51:34.239 --> 00:51:36.320 a little compressor that produces nitrogen? 979 00:51:38.119 --> 00:51:38.280 No? 980 00:51:38.400 --> 00:51:44.559 You can't. Sure you can, yeah, because a lot of 981 00:51:44.599 --> 00:51:48.559 people with aircraft are going to nitrogen, and I'd like 982 00:51:48.599 --> 00:51:51.360 to put I'd like to put nitrogen in my helicopter tires. 983 00:51:52.079 --> 00:51:55.280 Ha ha ha, but boom, I know some do have 984 00:51:55.719 --> 00:52:02.159 some do have tires. But anyway, so let's talk about 985 00:52:02.559 --> 00:52:03.519 the next question. 986 00:52:04.199 --> 00:52:06.559 Go ahead, okay, do you want the question or the 987 00:52:06.599 --> 00:52:07.480 stump the mechanic? 988 00:52:08.960 --> 00:52:10.400 Whatever you want either one. 989 00:52:10.440 --> 00:52:13.639 You stump the mechanic and Kevin, I apologize, this is 990 00:52:13.679 --> 00:52:16.480 going to be a weird one, but I think you'll 991 00:52:16.480 --> 00:52:19.320 figure it out pretty quickly. This actually happened to me 992 00:52:19.400 --> 00:52:20.960 when I was in high school. I had a pretty 993 00:52:21.000 --> 00:52:23.880 old car, like most high school students do, and I 994 00:52:23.960 --> 00:52:27.559 was getting intermittent battery connection failures. I could tell because 995 00:52:27.559 --> 00:52:29.519 the radio would go out, the lights would go out. 996 00:52:30.199 --> 00:52:34.760 So I, well, it's not what you think. You're gonna 997 00:52:34.760 --> 00:52:37.400 be stumped too, Tom, I want to hear your answer first. Actually, 998 00:52:38.119 --> 00:52:41.440 I removed the clamp from the battery post and it 999 00:52:41.599 --> 00:52:45.159 fell off. The clamp fell off the cable and when 1000 00:52:45.159 --> 00:52:49.719 it fell off, a huge amount of blue and green 1001 00:52:49.920 --> 00:52:53.280 crystals and powder just poured out of the installation. 1002 00:52:54.880 --> 00:52:59.400 What what happened? Moisture and the air of v app 1003 00:52:59.559 --> 00:53:04.559 they evaporated, leaving behind the or a corroded it too 1004 00:53:04.639 --> 00:53:08.960 as well, plus the metals in the water. So what 1005 00:53:09.119 --> 00:53:15.639 was the moistures getting moistures getting? Probably uh, it's the 1006 00:53:15.679 --> 00:53:18.320 corrosion from the copper capper. 1007 00:53:21.320 --> 00:53:22.880 Backup in the sheathing of the cave. 1008 00:53:23.000 --> 00:53:26.159 Right, that's right, But how But my question is how 1009 00:53:26.199 --> 00:53:29.920 would that happen? If it's properly shielded. It never happened. 1010 00:53:30.000 --> 00:53:32.119 And the way I shield it, I even go one 1011 00:53:32.119 --> 00:53:34.639 step further. Although I will say the newer cars now 1012 00:53:34.639 --> 00:53:38.119 are like, gosh, dang it, you can't they're they're air tight. 1013 00:53:38.639 --> 00:53:42.400 But I used to do some heat shrink or some 1014 00:53:43.599 --> 00:53:45.880 this rap they make. Now have you seen that wrap 1015 00:53:46.119 --> 00:53:47.440 that fuses on itself? 1016 00:53:48.800 --> 00:53:50.239 Yet? 1017 00:53:50.599 --> 00:53:54.000 So for my aircraft stuff. I take that. I think 1018 00:53:54.000 --> 00:53:56.039 it's called teflon. I'm not no, I don't think it 1019 00:53:56.119 --> 00:53:58.559 is tephlon, though maybe it is. But it's this black 1020 00:53:58.599 --> 00:54:02.360 stuff that looks like tape. It's the same on both sides. 1021 00:54:02.599 --> 00:54:05.559 It's not really sticky, well it is kind of sticky, 1022 00:54:05.599 --> 00:54:08.440 but it's tacky, that's what's itself. And then what you 1023 00:54:08.480 --> 00:54:10.480 do is you wrap it and I wrap it right 1024 00:54:10.519 --> 00:54:13.119 around the wires, right up to the terminals, right up 1025 00:54:13.159 --> 00:54:16.639 to where that even where that where it's crimped. And 1026 00:54:16.679 --> 00:54:19.679 then and then you tut and you you squeeze your 1027 00:54:19.679 --> 00:54:22.639 hands like you know what I mean, and it fuses. 1028 00:54:23.000 --> 00:54:26.800 It literally becomes like one substance without any heat. So 1029 00:54:26.880 --> 00:54:29.639 it's not even like a heat shrink. It just fuses 1030 00:54:29.679 --> 00:54:32.119 on itself. You've seen that, right, Kevin. 1031 00:54:32.280 --> 00:54:35.679 Absolutely, Now we use stuff like that electrical. We have 1032 00:54:35.719 --> 00:54:39.119 a liquid duct tape or liquid electric tape they call it. 1033 00:54:39.159 --> 00:54:40.079 So you can really. 1034 00:54:39.920 --> 00:54:42.199 Steal, right, Tomtree, are we right or wrong on this? 1035 00:54:42.440 --> 00:54:43.199 Are we right or wrong? 1036 00:54:43.239 --> 00:54:45.519 You guys are absolutely correct. So what happened was the 1037 00:54:45.559 --> 00:54:48.440 battery acid. I had an old crimy battery like many 1038 00:54:48.440 --> 00:54:51.320 people do, and the battery acid was seeping out of 1039 00:54:51.360 --> 00:54:55.079 the battery, and it was crawling up the cable through 1040 00:54:55.119 --> 00:54:58.760 capillary action, and it was getting sucked and sucked in 1041 00:54:58.760 --> 00:55:02.000 inside that insulation. And I actually had to cut away, 1042 00:55:02.039 --> 00:55:05.239 I'm not kidding you, like six or seven inches of 1043 00:55:05.280 --> 00:55:08.320 my big, you know, primary battery cable until I got 1044 00:55:08.360 --> 00:55:10.880 to actual copper to repair this problem. 1045 00:55:10.920 --> 00:55:11.400 Wow. 1046 00:55:11.559 --> 00:55:15.239 Yeah, yeah. And then you wrapped it properly after that, right, 1047 00:55:15.320 --> 00:55:17.519 or he shrunk it or something. No, that was before 1048 00:55:17.559 --> 00:55:17.880 I knew. 1049 00:55:17.880 --> 00:55:20.559 I was sixteen, This was before I knew about heat 1050 00:55:20.599 --> 00:55:23.880 shrink wrapping. And I just bought a new battery. 1051 00:55:25.360 --> 00:55:29.719 You know, it's amazing, how much speaking of knowing, it's amazing. 1052 00:55:29.840 --> 00:55:32.159 You know, I was playing that YouTube video about how 1053 00:55:32.239 --> 00:55:35.280 different people look at car problems. One sits behind the 1054 00:55:35.280 --> 00:55:38.760 wheel and says, oh, that's my watrum, call my caliber, 1055 00:55:38.840 --> 00:55:41.119 or that's my this, or that's my that, and they 1056 00:55:41.239 --> 00:55:43.480 they say, I'll have to fix that. They get out, 1057 00:55:43.519 --> 00:55:47.360 open up the hood right. Next person says, oh, wait 1058 00:55:47.400 --> 00:55:49.199 a minute, I got to call my mechanic. What the 1059 00:55:49.199 --> 00:55:51.360 hell is that noise? You know? So that's all right, 1060 00:55:51.360 --> 00:55:54.320 So they call him mccank. Next one says, these are 1061 00:55:54.920 --> 00:56:00.599 progressively younger generations. Then the next one says, goes to AI, 1062 00:56:01.119 --> 00:56:04.199 what does it mean when blah blah blah blah. The 1063 00:56:04.239 --> 00:56:08.320 next one says, oh, my god, I need a new car. 1064 00:56:09.599 --> 00:56:12.280 So you know this is falling apart around. 1065 00:56:12.039 --> 00:56:15.199 I have I have a question for all of you. Yes, 1066 00:56:15.320 --> 00:56:19.239 I'm assuming nobody has triple A. 1067 00:56:19.559 --> 00:56:19.920 I do. 1068 00:56:20.960 --> 00:56:21.960 Yeah. 1069 00:56:23.079 --> 00:56:25.280 Oh, in other words, in other words, why not just 1070 00:56:25.360 --> 00:56:29.400 call triple A? You're right? Well, you know that's a 1071 00:56:29.440 --> 00:56:34.079 good point, Kelly. Well, and you call triple A, go ahead. 1072 00:56:34.519 --> 00:56:36.599 I you know, instead of calling triple A. I prefer 1073 00:56:36.679 --> 00:56:42.280 to use my Y chromosome. You're what my y chromosomes? 1074 00:56:42.920 --> 00:56:47.039 I have a double X over here. And yes, I 1075 00:56:47.119 --> 00:56:50.800 did ask Kevin why breaks need fluid this morning? I 1076 00:56:50.840 --> 00:56:54.039 will admit that apparently they you who knew? 1077 00:56:55.599 --> 00:56:57.159 Wait if breaks have? 1078 00:56:57.239 --> 00:56:57.320 What? 1079 00:56:58.079 --> 00:57:02.760 I asked Kevin if needed fluid? Because my kid's car. 1080 00:57:02.840 --> 00:57:05.639 Well not a Model T. But you know, I mean, 1081 00:57:06.280 --> 00:57:08.800 well forgot okay, or a carriage with horses. 1082 00:57:08.960 --> 00:57:09.320 I didn't. 1083 00:57:09.599 --> 00:57:12.280 I don't there's so much fluid in cars. I mean, 1084 00:57:12.400 --> 00:57:16.119 I get confused. You know that's an atom question. You 1085 00:57:16.159 --> 00:57:19.000 know I can make two flas. But anyway, and. 1086 00:57:18.960 --> 00:57:21.280 What are the three hold on? I got something. I 1087 00:57:21.280 --> 00:57:24.079 got a casual but a little trivia here. What are 1088 00:57:24.079 --> 00:57:27.360 the three main purposes of fluid in a vehicle? What 1089 00:57:27.400 --> 00:57:31.280 are they? Number one would be what lubrication? 1090 00:57:31.440 --> 00:57:31.639 Right? 1091 00:57:32.320 --> 00:57:32.760 Gas? 1092 00:57:34.079 --> 00:57:34.599 Number two? 1093 00:57:35.119 --> 00:57:36.559 Gas to make it go? 1094 00:57:38.079 --> 00:57:40.960 Okay, that's okay, you're you're technically correct there. I guess 1095 00:57:40.960 --> 00:57:45.760 we yeah, you're right. Okay, So fuel lubrication. And then 1096 00:57:45.920 --> 00:57:49.639 I guess we could say coolant, cooling. So what's the 1097 00:57:49.679 --> 00:57:50.079 other ones? 1098 00:57:51.000 --> 00:57:51.320 Hold on? 1099 00:57:51.440 --> 00:57:54.679 What are the other purposes? What are the other purposes 1100 00:57:54.800 --> 00:57:59.960 of fluids? One would be hydraulic or pressure creating fluid, 1101 00:58:00.360 --> 00:58:06.119 air conditioning. That's a that's not yeah, but but hydraulic 1102 00:58:06.159 --> 00:58:10.920 fluids would create pressure for radio. I don't know of 1103 00:58:10.960 --> 00:58:13.880 any radios, and then steering this hydraulic though. 1104 00:58:13.760 --> 00:58:17.920 Text just the radio. Okay, the radio doesn't work. 1105 00:58:18.239 --> 00:58:19.159 The radio needs fluid. 1106 00:58:19.960 --> 00:58:23.239 Oh my god, Wait a minute, Kelly, Kelly, I want 1107 00:58:23.280 --> 00:58:25.320 you to hold on, put your hand on your heart 1108 00:58:25.440 --> 00:58:27.559 and tell me you honestly were wondering that. 1109 00:58:28.519 --> 00:58:31.800 No, I was saying, if the car doesn't go, I 1110 00:58:31.880 --> 00:58:34.840 can't have the radio. Thank god, there's a caller. 1111 00:58:36.559 --> 00:58:39.639 But wait, what the hell does that have? So she 1112 00:58:39.800 --> 00:58:42.960 wanted to know if the if the radio needed fluid. 1113 00:58:43.079 --> 00:58:46.119 You know what, here's the deal, fluid. Here's a phenomenon. 1114 00:58:46.800 --> 00:58:50.239 There's a phenomenon called the turkey death that I hope 1115 00:58:50.480 --> 00:58:53.519 never she never experiences. But I'm coming to think that 1116 00:58:53.960 --> 00:58:56.079 if she asked that question, maybe she could. And that's 1117 00:58:56.119 --> 00:58:59.599 where it's raining and they look up at the rain 1118 00:59:00.159 --> 00:59:03.119 and they don't close their mouths or cover their noses 1119 00:59:03.119 --> 00:59:06.679 and they drown.

However, the nineteen 1164 01:01:38.480 --> 01:01:42.119 sixty four the correct ignition timing would be four degrees 1165 01:01:42.199 --> 01:01:45.239 before top dead center. So there go yourself. 1166 01:01:45.440 --> 01:01:45.760 Okay. 1167 01:01:46.119 --> 01:01:51.119 Anyway, that was a fun nywait to reflect.

Okay, 1177 01:02:10.599 --> 01:02:12.880 I knew I had such a crush on her. What 1178 01:02:13.000 --> 01:02:17.159 were you what you were talking about? But I had 1179 01:02:17.400 --> 01:02:21.440 no idea about cars before I actually watched that movie 1180 01:02:21.880 --> 01:02:23.679 and I actually and then that gave you. 1181 01:02:23.679 --> 01:02:24.039 The the. 1182 01:02:27.239 --> 01:02:30.639 Now here's the guy. So here's a guy who says, 1183 01:02:30.679 --> 01:02:34.000 I used nitrogen in all of my cars. Nothing better. 1184 01:02:34.559 --> 01:02:37.920 I paid one time fee of five dollars a tire 1185 01:02:38.639 --> 01:02:41.639 and I get refills for life. Did you know that 1186 01:02:41.760 --> 01:02:48.159 at Big O refills for life and you pay five bucks? Wow? 1187 01:02:48.679 --> 01:02:51.239 Three oh three seven one three talk seven one three 1188 01:02:51.360 --> 01:02:53.800 eight two five five. Next question, Dmitri, go. 1189 01:02:53.800 --> 01:02:58.840 Ahead, okay, Kevin? Why should we change spark plugs? And 1190 01:02:59.000 --> 01:03:00.480 what would happen if we don't? 1191 01:03:02.440 --> 01:03:06.480 Well, they're the change intervals are much much longer with 1192 01:03:06.679 --> 01:03:10.039 the newer engines because without the carburetors and the dumping 1193 01:03:10.079 --> 01:03:11.840 of fuel and everything, they lasts a long time. But 1194 01:03:13.039 --> 01:03:16.840 the outside, I mean it'll start misfiring. I've seen it 1195 01:03:16.920 --> 01:03:20.000 go as far as blowing up a computer because the 1196 01:03:20.960 --> 01:03:24.000 coil driver in the computer gets overloaded because the gap 1197 01:03:24.039 --> 01:03:27.679 of the plug gets too big from use. So, I mean, 1198 01:03:27.800 --> 01:03:30.280 from one end it's performance another end, you can cause 1199 01:03:30.360 --> 01:03:31.800 damage from running plugs too long. 1200 01:03:32.920 --> 01:03:36.039 I didn't realize you can actually cause damage, electrical damage. 1201 01:03:36.079 --> 01:03:37.800 Yes, that's that's pretty scary. 1202 01:03:37.960 --> 01:03:41.400 Yeah, yeah, seventeen hundred dollars computer driver inside the computer 1203 01:03:41.480 --> 01:03:44.280 got wiped out because of the plug. The gap was 1204 01:03:44.320 --> 01:03:44.679 too big. 1205 01:03:44.960 --> 01:03:46.960 Now, Kevin, that's got to be another one of the 1206 01:03:47.000 --> 01:03:49.679 most neglected maintenance side It was on color again. 1207 01:03:49.760 --> 01:03:53.400 It's nothing service intervals. Everybody thinks everything's maintenance free. Oh yeah, 1208 01:03:53.519 --> 01:03:55.360 you know, the plugs aren't too bad. I mean, you 1209 01:03:55.440 --> 01:03:57.599 can go seventy five eighty thousand miles on a set 1210 01:03:57.639 --> 01:03:59.880 of plugs, you know, without any problem. 1211 01:04:00.360 --> 01:04:04.000 But they have these plugs, iridium tipped plugs, and they 1212 01:04:04.039 --> 01:04:06.760 advertise the service life of over one hundred thousand miles. 1213 01:04:07.280 --> 01:04:09.519 Now I should not take that at face value. I 1214 01:04:09.519 --> 01:04:12.280 don't want to take anything to failure. So yeah, they're 1215 01:04:12.320 --> 01:04:15.639 talking one hundred thousand miles, you'll start experiencing failure. Oh 1216 01:04:16.159 --> 01:04:17.360 not just deterioration. 1217 01:04:17.559 --> 01:04:21.199 Okay, more, we got more coming up. But I have 1218 01:04:21.280 --> 01:04:25.440 a question, and or not a question, but a theory 1219 01:04:26.239 --> 01:04:29.119 and a philosophy. Is something I've always done. Before I 1220 01:04:29.159 --> 01:04:32.760 could afford new cars, and I would buy a used car. 1221 01:04:33.280 --> 01:04:35.679 And then later on when I started buying used aircraft, 1222 01:04:37.000 --> 01:04:40.400 I never cared about previous records. Well I cared about it. 1223 01:04:40.440 --> 01:04:43.039 I didn't want anything abused. I always got it checked 1224 01:04:43.079 --> 01:04:45.440 out but then I did, And Kevin and I have 1225 01:04:45.559 --> 01:04:50.800 discussed this before. I call it zero timing the car 1226 01:04:51.079 --> 01:04:52.960 or the engine or the aircraft. 1227 01:04:54.559 --> 01:05:00.400 Baselining also yes, yeah, and Dmitri, you se like the 1228 01:05:00.440 --> 01:05:02.599 type of person that would do that. Yeah, when I So, 1229 01:05:02.840 --> 01:05:05.840 when I got my beloved for runner, I spent about 1230 01:05:05.920 --> 01:05:11.480 three weeks and a ton of money, uh, baselining it completely, baselining. 1231 01:05:10.960 --> 01:05:13.920 It every anything it needed. And if there was a hesitation, 1232 01:05:14.840 --> 01:05:17.239 for example, like on a timing belt that needs to 1233 01:05:17.239 --> 01:05:19.119 be changed, not changed, that don't have to be but 1234 01:05:19.400 --> 01:05:21.079 if something has to be changed, you change it and 1235 01:05:21.159 --> 01:05:24.400 you know it's done, and and and you do all 1236 01:05:24.480 --> 01:05:27.079 of the fluids, all of the belts, and all of 1237 01:05:27.119 --> 01:05:29.559 the hoses. Is that what you're talking about? I didn't. 1238 01:05:29.760 --> 01:05:31.960 I didn't do the hoses because they're in wonderful condition. 1239 01:05:32.079 --> 01:05:36.519 But I changed seven fluids, the spark plugs, the brake pads, 1240 01:05:36.679 --> 01:05:39.880 and the associated springs and shims. And the biggest thing 1241 01:05:39.960 --> 01:05:43.800 I did, I replaced literally the entire suspension with a 1242 01:05:43.880 --> 01:05:47.519 brand new one. And I also swapped out both of 1243 01:05:47.559 --> 01:05:51.480 the outer tyrod ends all with OEM toilet well need Yeah. 1244 01:05:51.559 --> 01:05:56.440 Yeah, So Kevin, do you do you think used car 1245 01:05:56.559 --> 01:05:57.480 dealers ever do that. 1246 01:05:58.519 --> 01:06:02.000 Before they saw the car? Oh no, yeah, no, no, 1247 01:06:02.320 --> 01:06:04.039 not even close. Most of them. 1248 01:06:04.360 --> 01:06:06.119 You know they'll go through and hit the safety stuff. 1249 01:06:06.159 --> 01:06:09.599 The good lots will. But as far as zero maintenance, no, no, 1250 01:06:09.760 --> 01:06:10.840 it's only as required. 1251 01:06:12.119 --> 01:06:14.800 Well, I have a question coming back, and it is 1252 01:06:15.599 --> 01:06:19.760 with no owner's manual, I mean theoretically no owner's manuel. 1253 01:06:19.800 --> 01:06:24.000 I know you can find one. What service would every 1254 01:06:24.119 --> 01:06:28.559 car need? What would be apropos for all cars when 1255 01:06:28.599 --> 01:06:30.719 you just get a car? If you have no service 1256 01:06:30.840 --> 01:06:34.280 manual or no owner's manual, what can you rest assured 1257 01:06:34.960 --> 01:06:37.760 that you would have to do? And on what periodical 1258 01:06:37.960 --> 01:06:40.920 basis would you do it? Jay's got a question on 1259 01:06:41.320 --> 01:06:44.280 Corvette sixty six breaks.

Jay, 1271 01:07:31.559 --> 01:07:34.920 what is your question on a sixty six corvette? 1272 01:07:36.480 --> 01:07:40.199 Okay, so if you remember this one from about thirty 1273 01:07:40.280 --> 01:07:44.800 years ago, you don't get to answer. Sixty three corvette. Actually, 1274 01:07:45.679 --> 01:07:48.239 guy drives it to work. When he gets to work, 1275 01:07:48.320 --> 01:07:52.480 the breaks loock solid. He gets his little wrench out 1276 01:07:52.559 --> 01:07:55.840 and bleeds off the pressure. He dries it home just 1277 01:07:55.880 --> 01:07:59.719 about time he gets homes, breakslocks solid, he gets out 1278 01:07:59.719 --> 01:08:02.559 as takes pressure off over again. 1279 01:08:02.760 --> 01:08:03.519 For days. 1280 01:08:04.760 --> 01:08:07.679 And days days, no one can figure it out what's 1281 01:08:07.719 --> 01:08:08.000 going on. 1282 01:08:11.599 --> 01:08:15.519 I don't know what do you think, keV? 1283 01:08:15.679 --> 01:08:17.319 I've seen proportioning valves do that. 1284 01:08:20.000 --> 01:08:20.600 I know what it is? 1285 01:08:21.319 --> 01:08:23.159 Val What is it? 1286 01:08:23.279 --> 01:08:25.680 I know what it is? What is it? 1287 01:08:26.199 --> 01:08:31.359 So brake lines corrode from the inside out. So these 1288 01:08:31.479 --> 01:08:34.359 brake lines are sold and corroded. They're now acting like 1289 01:08:34.600 --> 01:08:38.720 check valves. They allow the hydraulic fluid to come into 1290 01:08:38.800 --> 01:08:42.720 the pistons, but they don't allow it to come back out. 1291 01:08:44.159 --> 01:08:46.119 That's what I think is going on? How old are 1292 01:08:46.119 --> 01:08:47.479 the flex lines on this corvette? 1293 01:08:48.720 --> 01:08:52.680 Well, actually all placed. This corvette went to a dealer 1294 01:08:53.119 --> 01:08:57.119 probably fifteen times, maybe more than that. Tick God, I 1295 01:08:57.199 --> 01:09:04.119 knew everything. Problem never solved until I do know the answer, 1296 01:09:04.319 --> 01:09:05.319 so I can tell you, right. 1297 01:09:05.279 --> 01:09:05.760 Yeah, what is it? 1298 01:09:06.159 --> 01:09:09.039 That's a good one. It come on, Yeah, you got 1299 01:09:09.119 --> 01:09:09.880 what you said. 1300 01:09:09.880 --> 01:09:12.800 Everything got replaced masters slaves, I mean everything. 1301 01:09:12.800 --> 01:09:13.239 That's right? 1302 01:09:13.560 --> 01:09:15.279 Well, yes, so what did it turn out to be? 1303 01:09:16.439 --> 01:09:16.680 Tom? 1304 01:09:16.760 --> 01:09:20.199 If you remember this? It turned out to be the 1305 01:09:20.359 --> 01:09:24.680 half shafts had a vibration in it. Yeah, this was 1306 01:09:24.760 --> 01:09:25.760 on your show quite a bit. 1307 01:09:27.159 --> 01:09:28.840 Yeah, saft okay in it? 1308 01:09:28.960 --> 01:09:29.920 And I said, this. 1309 01:09:30.079 --> 01:09:34.680 Vibration is making the little plungers that move move. The 1310 01:09:34.760 --> 01:09:39.319 brakes actually expanded contract just enough to create a time, 1311 01:09:41.159 --> 01:09:42.279 a little bit of pressure. 1312 01:09:42.479 --> 01:09:43.880 This builds up and up and up and up and 1313 01:09:44.000 --> 01:09:47.560 up and up. Eventually it locks it solid. And I was. 1314 01:09:49.279 --> 01:09:52.479 I was told that wasn't even possible. It was there 1315 01:09:52.479 --> 01:09:56.359 Domat saying anybody ever heard in their lives. And finally 1316 01:09:56.439 --> 01:09:58.680 the owner was so frustrated he said, all right, do 1317 01:09:58.680 --> 01:09:59.439 you think it'll fix it? 1318 01:09:59.840 --> 01:10:02.479 Go or nobody else can fix it? So I did, 1319 01:10:02.600 --> 01:10:03.079 can it work. 1320 01:10:03.880 --> 01:10:04.079 Wow. 1321 01:10:04.960 --> 01:10:08.359 Wow again, that's they are easy.

So any ideas, let's have 1344 01:11:33.640 --> 01:11:34.960 a party trio? 1345 01:11:37.520 --> 01:11:39.800 Yeah? No, just so? 1346 01:11:40.239 --> 01:11:42.439 How about a what do you call it? A hallmark 1347 01:11:42.520 --> 01:11:46.760 partner or a milestone party? I'm oh, what is it 1348 01:11:46.880 --> 01:11:49.920 called a milestone anyway? Something like that? Do you ever 1349 01:11:50.039 --> 01:11:54.239 notice though, in Denver, whenever IM media person, no matter 1350 01:11:54.319 --> 01:11:56.359 how long they could be on the air for six minutes, 1351 01:11:56.439 --> 01:11:59.680 and when they retire they're a legend. I often wonder 1352 01:11:59.720 --> 01:12:02.479 about what it takes to be a legend, what does 1353 01:12:02.560 --> 01:12:06.000 it take? Because I don't think we've had any broadcasting legends. 1354 01:12:06.039 --> 01:12:08.840 Oh wait, Bob Palmer would have been one. I would 1355 01:12:08.840 --> 01:12:13.479 have called him a broadcast ed sardella. Usual to retire 1356 01:12:13.640 --> 01:12:18.520 from radio, typically they fire your ass first, well, typically 1357 01:12:18.680 --> 01:12:22.000 they take you out feet first. But as far as 1358 01:12:23.439 --> 01:12:26.479 retiring from radio, you're right, people get fired and TV. 1359 01:12:27.159 --> 01:12:31.359 More people retire from TV than radio. TV, though you know, 1360 01:12:31.560 --> 01:12:38.720 TV has gotten pretty stable, and that's because and I 1361 01:12:38.800 --> 01:12:42.119 don't think I tried to think about this. Is it 1362 01:12:42.199 --> 01:12:45.880 because I'm getting older and it's all relatively different to 1363 01:12:46.000 --> 01:12:48.920 me or is it really happening? So you tell me dragon, 1364 01:12:49.000 --> 01:12:51.359 because you're not old, you're not an old guy, and 1365 01:12:51.720 --> 01:12:54.680 you can tell me Kachina. Here's what I'm thinking. Do 1366 01:12:54.880 --> 01:12:58.720 the kids on TV reporting look way younger than they 1367 01:12:58.800 --> 01:13:00.960 used to? And I know we were all young at 1368 01:13:01.000 --> 01:13:04.000 one time. I'm not trying to say oh in my day, 1369 01:13:04.520 --> 01:13:06.880 and I'm not trying to point my bony finger. I'm 1370 01:13:06.960 --> 01:13:12.319 just asking do they seem don't they seem they seem 1371 01:13:12.600 --> 01:13:18.039 truly like kids and like like like I would think 1372 01:13:18.279 --> 01:13:20.960 it's high school journal I call it high school journalism. 1373 01:13:21.560 --> 01:13:23.520 But they're not doing a bad job. 1374 01:13:23.560 --> 01:13:24.079 In fact, some. 1375 01:13:26.079 --> 01:13:28.800 Of them do a great job. In fact, I love them. 1376 01:13:29.119 --> 01:13:31.159 I mean, I'm not even talking about quality. I'm just 1377 01:13:31.199 --> 01:13:33.520 talking about their age. They look so damn young. Now 1378 01:13:34.079 --> 01:13:35.880 I do I want to say something else, and I 1379 01:13:35.960 --> 01:13:38.880 don't know this is DEI or this is just we 1380 01:13:39.079 --> 01:13:43.760 ran out of pretty people. But I think that they're 1381 01:13:43.800 --> 01:13:46.640 more inclusive when it comes to looks. And I mean 1382 01:13:46.720 --> 01:13:48.119 that in a good way, by the way, And it's 1383 01:13:48.159 --> 01:13:51.560 no smart ass remark. I'm not trying to push an agenda, 1384 01:13:51.840 --> 01:13:54.319 and I'm not calling anyone ugly, but I think we 1385 01:13:54.439 --> 01:13:57.680 have a way bigger variety now of body shapes and 1386 01:13:57.880 --> 01:14:01.560 sizes and and and and how tall sure people are 1387 01:14:01.680 --> 01:14:05.520 and their facial features. You don't have to necessarily be 1388 01:14:06.039 --> 01:14:08.760 all that attractive. And I'm saying that's a good thing. 1389 01:14:09.079 --> 01:14:12.119 I'm not saying people are downright ugly. No one is 1390 01:14:12.199 --> 01:14:13.920 actually ugly when you get to know them, right, if 1391 01:14:13.920 --> 01:14:17.119 they're good people. But I'm talking about that that I 1392 01:14:17.279 --> 01:14:21.039 think it's improved. I really do. I think TV has 1393 01:14:21.079 --> 01:14:22.119 improved in that regard. 1394 01:14:22.520 --> 01:14:25.439 I don't know about that. I have to do a 1395 01:14:25.479 --> 01:14:28.199 big time out on that because I just got back 1396 01:14:28.399 --> 01:14:32.359 last week from being a week in LA where I 1397 01:14:32.520 --> 01:14:39.520 had to endure every local media station because they always 1398 01:14:39.600 --> 01:14:44.680 broadcast this the Storm of the century, because every time 1399 01:14:44.800 --> 01:14:48.039 we get rain in Los Angeles, it is the storm 1400 01:14:48.239 --> 01:14:51.159 of the century, and there. 1401 01:14:51.840 --> 01:14:55.399 Are well we do that here too. Come on, oh, everyone, 1402 01:14:55.560 --> 01:14:58.720 wether we're obsessed with weather. Nothing wrong with being obsessed 1403 01:14:58.760 --> 01:14:59.640 with weather, by the way. 1404 01:15:00.359 --> 01:15:03.920 Close to the to the storm of the century. Like 1405 01:15:04.039 --> 01:15:08.239 all the graphics that are plasted on the chirons and everything, 1406 01:15:09.399 --> 01:15:13.800 I mean, it's they're plastered everywhere, and you kind of 1407 01:15:13.880 --> 01:15:16.640 have the talent though, hold on, I'm not talking about 1408 01:15:16.960 --> 01:15:22.520 that's the production that they are all. I saw no 1409 01:15:23.119 --> 01:15:25.600 white people on anything. 1410 01:15:25.800 --> 01:15:27.359 Well, what does that mean, Kelly. 1411 01:15:27.479 --> 01:15:30.039 And I'm not saying that that's a bad thing. I'm 1412 01:15:30.159 --> 01:15:37.760 just saying that was noticeable that the anchors everyone, they're 1413 01:15:37.840 --> 01:15:42.399 all diversity. And that's fine, that's fine, that's of course 1414 01:15:42.439 --> 01:15:43.079 it is, you know. 1415 01:15:43.239 --> 01:15:46.720 That's here's the more important here's the more important question, Kelly, 1416 01:15:46.800 --> 01:15:48.520 before you get my show canceled, let me let me 1417 01:15:48.560 --> 01:15:50.840 interject here. I think that there was a time when 1418 01:15:50.920 --> 01:15:53.279 TV news was all white people, and then there was 1419 01:15:53.319 --> 01:15:55.880 a time when when everyone had to look a certain way, 1420 01:15:55.960 --> 01:15:58.119 and I went through all of that, and I don't 1421 01:15:58.159 --> 01:16:02.039 think you necessarily Here's I think people should be selected 1422 01:16:02.079 --> 01:16:04.680 on merit. But I do think this, and this is 1423 01:16:04.760 --> 01:16:07.880 going to sound a little deish, it might sound progressive, 1424 01:16:07.920 --> 01:16:10.039 but I'm just going to say this. If you're talking 1425 01:16:10.079 --> 01:16:13.479 about something like TV and entertainment and all of that, 1426 01:16:14.319 --> 01:16:16.720 should it be merit based. Of course it should. But 1427 01:16:16.920 --> 01:16:20.640 where there are tie breakers and you have a staff 1428 01:16:21.119 --> 01:16:24.600 that leans heavily one way or another, I do believe 1429 01:16:25.199 --> 01:16:28.920 it would be a good idea for these occupations. Only 1430 01:16:28.960 --> 01:16:31.920 I'm talking about like in the public eye And don't 1431 01:16:31.960 --> 01:16:34.239 get me wrong, I'm not saying we should push any 1432 01:16:34.279 --> 01:16:37.479 agenda or any person, or any ideology or anything. But 1433 01:16:38.199 --> 01:16:41.000 when it comes to what people are looking at, I 1434 01:16:41.119 --> 01:16:44.119 want my little kids. I want my little minority kids, 1435 01:16:44.159 --> 01:16:45.960 and my little white kids, and my little Indian kids, 1436 01:16:46.039 --> 01:16:49.800 my little whatever kids to see maybe parts of themselves. 1437 01:16:50.279 --> 01:16:52.800 And I think that's a good thing. I don't mean 1438 01:16:52.920 --> 01:16:55.000 that we have to force and I don't think we 1439 01:16:55.119 --> 01:16:57.279 have to force it, and it certainly doesn't have to 1440 01:16:57.319 --> 01:17:00.800 be lopsided one way or the other. But I think 1441 01:17:00.880 --> 01:17:04.159 that's that's a cool thing. I can see themselves. I 1442 01:17:04.279 --> 01:17:05.880 agree with you. And I know as far as what 1443 01:17:06.000 --> 01:17:08.960 that stupid fire chief said or that you know, they 1444 01:17:09.199 --> 01:17:11.159 when somebody comes to save you, you want to you 1445 01:17:11.279 --> 01:17:14.159 want like you, And I said what I want just 1446 01:17:14.239 --> 01:17:17.640 the opposite. I want some seven foot burly guy that 1447 01:17:18.199 --> 01:17:20.319 or a woman that can pick me up over their 1448 01:17:20.359 --> 01:17:23.279 shoulder and save me. You like, give a damn it. 1449 01:17:24.640 --> 01:17:26.560 I mean, I don't care what they look like. And 1450 01:17:26.680 --> 01:17:29.000 when I when I have a surgeon, I have never 1451 01:17:29.079 --> 01:17:32.159 once looked at a surgeon and thought, hey, wait a minute, 1452 01:17:32.279 --> 01:17:36.680 where where's the dwarf or where's the uh Italian or 1453 01:17:36.680 --> 01:17:39.520 where's the Puerto Rican? And the reason I mentioned Dwarfs, 1454 01:17:39.560 --> 01:17:42.439 by the way, I just want to because that one 1455 01:17:42.520 --> 01:17:45.239 news conference just made me laugh like crazy bell when 1456 01:17:45.279 --> 01:17:46.079 Trump was till. 1457 01:17:46.439 --> 01:17:48.399 I'm not trying to say anything. I'm not trying to 1458 01:17:48.399 --> 01:17:50.760 get your show canceled. I don't think I said anything 1459 01:17:50.920 --> 01:17:54.960 that's not noticeable. But you know, I grew up of 1460 01:17:55.039 --> 01:17:59.800 two of the with two of the best broadcasters known 1461 01:18:00.119 --> 01:18:02.920 to radio and television, and that is Vince Well, thank 1462 01:18:03.000 --> 01:18:03.479 you very. 1463 01:18:03.439 --> 01:18:05.239 Much, Kelly. You didn't have to You really didn't have 1464 01:18:05.319 --> 01:18:05.720 to say that. 1465 01:18:06.439 --> 01:18:14.840 Three Sorry, Okay, Vince Gully, chick Hern and Cal Martine. 1466 01:18:15.039 --> 01:18:18.239 No, he's Vince Kellys, Scully's good. 1467 01:18:18.159 --> 01:18:24.319 Good chick Hern the best. So I basically grew up 1468 01:18:24.399 --> 01:18:28.279 with them. They were my entire childhood, so I knew 1469 01:18:28.359 --> 01:18:29.199 nothing but them. 1470 01:18:30.319 --> 01:18:33.000 But I love, you know, I used to love watching 1471 01:18:33.199 --> 01:18:37.520 Walter Cronkite. Wasn't that cool or Chet Hun and all 1472 01:18:37.560 --> 01:18:42.079 these old bands, but they were they were like they 1473 01:18:42.159 --> 01:18:44.720 were one sided back then on how people looked and 1474 01:18:44.760 --> 01:18:47.239 who they were, old white men. And but I really 1475 01:18:47.600 --> 01:18:50.239 I love David Cronkite, I mean he was so cool 1476 01:18:50.800 --> 01:18:54.520 and Walter, you know, but nowadays, if I want to 1477 01:18:54.600 --> 01:18:57.560 be honest, we have great talent on the air right now. 1478 01:18:57.720 --> 01:18:59.399 We do, we we have. 1479 01:18:59.640 --> 01:19:03.479 I think I think that I think we have good 1480 01:19:03.520 --> 01:19:05.239 talent on the air right now. I think we we 1481 01:19:05.319 --> 01:19:07.479 are blessed in broadcasting. You have a lot of good talent. 1482 01:19:07.600 --> 01:19:10.199 Now we have a lot of sucky talent too, obviously, 1483 01:19:10.680 --> 01:19:14.239 but we have I think, mainly good people. When I 1484 01:19:14.279 --> 01:19:16.920 look at all networks, even when I don't agree with them, 1485 01:19:17.239 --> 01:19:19.439 I kind of like, there, you know what I'm gonna say, 1486 01:19:19.479 --> 01:19:22.840 something like like you may think I'm crazy. I'm only 1487 01:19:22.960 --> 01:19:27.399 talking about entertainment value and P factor and Q factor 1488 01:19:27.880 --> 01:19:32.920 and delivery and style. Okay, there are some people you 1489 01:19:33.000 --> 01:19:36.199 find obnoxious I think because of what they're saying. But 1490 01:19:36.399 --> 01:19:39.760 when you look beyond that, I think you find some 1491 01:19:40.039 --> 01:19:45.479 really cool deliveries and stuff like that. And if you 1492 01:19:45.600 --> 01:19:48.760 examine that, like I happen to think, even though I 1493 01:19:48.880 --> 01:19:54.560 can't stand her, I think Rachel Maddow is a great broadcaster. 1494 01:19:55.159 --> 01:19:58.319 I know, I do. I think. I mean, I don't 1495 01:19:59.159 --> 01:20:01.520 agree with the words you says, and I know people 1496 01:20:01.600 --> 01:20:05.680 find her obnoxious, but it's very entertaining. She's very engaging, 1497 01:20:06.239 --> 01:20:11.439 and where Jake Trapper is a Snoresville Snoresville right, and 1498 01:20:11.720 --> 01:20:14.319 wolf Blitzer used to be a dynamic He just needs 1499 01:20:14.359 --> 01:20:16.640 no one to hang it up. My god, I saw 1500 01:20:16.720 --> 01:20:19.239 him the other day and I thought, who they get 1501 01:20:19.279 --> 01:20:23.560 from the home? So do you does anyone come to 1502 01:20:23.640 --> 01:20:28.439 mind with you? People on on some really good broadcasters? Seriously, 1503 01:20:29.079 --> 01:20:31.399 I'm not talking about like newspeople in general. I'm talking 1504 01:20:31.399 --> 01:20:34.479 about broadcasting. Well, almost everything's broadcast nowadays. Even the print 1505 01:20:34.520 --> 01:20:39.279 people get on broadcasts. But I think that we have 1506 01:20:41.039 --> 01:20:44.760 such a plethora of talent it's really hard to stand 1507 01:20:44.840 --> 01:20:48.680 out nowadays, don't you guys think, especially when you throw 1508 01:20:48.760 --> 01:20:55.039 into the mix, not just broadcast personalities but actual actually 1509 01:20:55.439 --> 01:21:01.159 like TikTok and YouTube and Instagram. I mean, there is 1510 01:21:01.399 --> 01:21:06.319 so much competition. It's very difficult to stand out, very difficult. 1511 01:21:07.479 --> 01:21:09.600 If you have any calls. Would today's car day? We're 1512 01:21:09.640 --> 01:21:12.119 talking cars, but we'll talk about anything you want. And 1513 01:21:12.239 --> 01:21:15.399 I did an interesting thing. I did some research on 1514 01:21:15.600 --> 01:21:21.920 movies that have car makes or models actually in the title. 1515 01:21:22.279 --> 01:21:25.399 Not movies about cars. There's a ton of those, But 1516 01:21:25.560 --> 01:21:33.680 what about movies whose titles have a car in it? 1517 01:21:33.840 --> 01:21:39.319 Like exactly, that's the first one. Everyone first. 1518 01:21:40.680 --> 01:21:41.399 That's a cool car. 1519 01:21:42.039 --> 01:21:45.359 How about Mustang Country. 1520 01:21:47.319 --> 01:21:47.640 Get here? 1521 01:21:47.760 --> 01:21:50.600 That one is seventy six? Yeah? 1522 01:21:51.760 --> 01:21:53.199 Ford v. 1523 01:21:54.000 --> 01:21:54.439 Ferrari. 1524 01:21:55.199 --> 01:21:57.039 I love that movie. That's a cool movie. 1525 01:21:57.880 --> 01:22:01.119 Was that a true story was based on a on 1526 01:22:01.199 --> 01:22:02.319 a factual astoria? 1527 01:22:03.079 --> 01:22:05.199 Now how bellis realized that's another question. 1528 01:22:05.359 --> 01:22:08.119 But yeah, that actually took place. And that was the 1529 01:22:08.239 --> 01:22:13.199 Ford that finally beat Ferrari. Which one was it? By 1530 01:22:13.239 --> 01:22:18.560 the way, was it the Ford became the Ford GT? Okay, see, 1531 01:22:18.600 --> 01:22:22.920 I didn't know that. And then Corvette Summer. I don't 1532 01:22:22.920 --> 01:22:26.920 remember that movie. I've heard of it.

You know, speaking of talent, we 1560 01:24:09.119 --> 01:24:12.039 were talking about broadcasting talent, and then we got off 1561 01:24:12.119 --> 01:24:13.720 on a conversation. It could have been off the air 1562 01:24:13.760 --> 01:24:17.359 about you know, singers and other people who've tried to 1563 01:24:17.359 --> 01:24:19.800 carry on for their parents and couldn't hold the couldn't 1564 01:24:19.800 --> 01:24:23.520 hold the spotlight, or couldn't hold their their's there as shoes, 1565 01:24:23.640 --> 01:24:27.560 actually some of them. But what about people who are 1566 01:24:27.600 --> 01:24:31.760 famous right now for no apparent reason? And I know 1567 01:24:31.840 --> 01:24:33.760 the first name that came to your mind? And if 1568 01:24:33.800 --> 01:24:36.159 it didn't start with a K, then you don't know 1569 01:24:36.199 --> 01:24:36.960 what you're talking about? 1570 01:24:37.600 --> 01:24:39.039 Which K you're talking about? 1571 01:24:40.479 --> 01:24:45.239 Which K? I'm talking about the main K, not the mom, 1572 01:24:45.600 --> 01:24:47.560 not the but Kim yep. 1573 01:24:49.000 --> 01:24:49.039 I. 1574 01:24:49.439 --> 01:24:53.920 Actually Chris Kardashian is a brilliant businesswoman. She capitalized on 1575 01:24:54.000 --> 01:24:57.840 a bunch of nothing now and the husband was a 1576 01:24:57.920 --> 01:25:03.439 great attorney. The original on the second husband, of course, 1577 01:25:03.600 --> 01:25:09.800 is Caitlin Bruce Jenner. So here's the deal. The deal 1578 01:25:09.960 --> 01:25:14.479 is this? I mean, how do you get famous for 1579 01:25:14.560 --> 01:25:18.600 nothing for having sex and your mom leaking the tape? 1580 01:25:18.840 --> 01:25:21.920 Isn't that what happened? Although she doesn't admission leaked it? 1581 01:25:23.119 --> 01:25:29.159 Kim Kardashian, what is her talent? You know? Remember named 1582 01:25:29.199 --> 01:25:32.880 that tune? We should have a show called Name that 1583 01:25:33.079 --> 01:25:35.880 Talent where you have famous people come on and you 1584 01:25:36.000 --> 01:25:40.399 try to name their talent. Sometimes there is no talent. 1585 01:25:41.079 --> 01:25:43.199 Then you have people that have so much talent they 1586 01:25:43.279 --> 01:25:45.920 don't even know what direction to go. They're so talented. 1587 01:25:47.600 --> 01:25:51.960 And then you have people have talent that's really unrecognized. 1588 01:25:54.600 --> 01:26:00.319 But I think everyone loves people with talent. Think where 1589 01:26:00.359 --> 01:26:02.640 we get sick and tired of people with talent, or 1590 01:26:02.640 --> 01:26:06.119 when they take the talent and they're fame and then 1591 01:26:06.159 --> 01:26:11.039 they try to push an agenda like because I can sing, 1592 01:26:11.199 --> 01:26:13.560 I can now tell you who to vote for, or 1593 01:26:13.600 --> 01:26:15.600 I can tell you how to think or the way 1594 01:26:15.640 --> 01:26:22.119 you should be thinking. And there are some really bad 1595 01:26:22.239 --> 01:26:27.119 people that Jennifer Jennifer Enison is the worst. I mean, 1596 01:26:27.239 --> 01:26:29.800 first of all, she's a moderate actress, not even close 1597 01:26:29.880 --> 01:26:36.079 to being good, but she is always preaching always. You 1598 01:26:36.119 --> 01:26:37.920 get tired of it, don't you do? You get tired 1599 01:26:37.920 --> 01:26:38.840 of it. I get tired of it. 1600 01:26:39.640 --> 01:26:40.359 So let's go back to. 1601 01:26:43.159 --> 01:26:45.640 Well, I mean, you know, and I mean I'm not 1602 01:26:45.680 --> 01:26:47.399 saying they can't have an opinion. Of course they can. 1603 01:26:47.680 --> 01:26:51.199 I don't know why. You know, de Niro was obsessed. 1604 01:26:51.800 --> 01:26:55.439 He was absolute. I love Robert de Niro's acting, anyone 1605 01:26:55.479 --> 01:26:57.760 who says he's not the greatest actor that ever lived, 1606 01:26:58.279 --> 01:27:02.159 but he was ups tesked with Trump. I mean, it 1607 01:27:02.319 --> 01:27:05.600 was too a you want to talk about derangerent syndrome. 1608 01:27:05.960 --> 01:27:11.119 This guy was obsessed with him and and god, he 1609 01:27:12.319 --> 01:27:16.000 just looked so angry. Did you ever see the tapes 1610 01:27:16.039 --> 01:27:19.239 in the crap that he did about Trump? I mean 1611 01:27:19.319 --> 01:27:25.680 on YouTube it was it was ranged a little unbalanced. Okay, 1612 01:27:25.760 --> 01:27:28.159 So Furious Mustang was a movie we named the Other 1613 01:27:28.520 --> 01:27:32.760 Karri Yep, that's right, and then Tucker was a car 1614 01:27:32.880 --> 01:27:35.439 at the time. Lamborghini was the name of a movie. 1615 01:27:36.640 --> 01:27:40.720 And then we had the Rolls Royce Baby, and then 1616 01:27:40.960 --> 01:27:48.560 the Cadillac Man my mother's read Mercedes and Pontiac Moon. Wow, 1617 01:27:48.680 --> 01:27:50.920 these arekad No, I've never heard some of the Christine 1618 01:27:51.680 --> 01:27:58.279 Camaro crash dots in two eighty z X Lincoln Lawyer. 1619 01:27:58.319 --> 01:28:01.920 Did any mention Lincoln Lawyer that it was just going 1620 01:28:02.000 --> 01:28:08.439 to do it? The Lincoln Lawyer absolutely. And so anyway, 1621 01:28:08.840 --> 01:28:14.439 those were movies that had the cars in them. Did 1622 01:28:14.520 --> 01:28:17.199 you know there was one called the Bugatti Boys? 1623 01:28:18.640 --> 01:28:18.920 Nope? 1624 01:28:19.600 --> 01:28:22.560 And how many Bugottis do they sell a year?

Oh, 1627 01:28:32.319 --> 01:28:35.000 this is kind of weird, but it was about it 1628 01:28:35.119 --> 01:28:38.880 was not named after a jeep, but it was jeepers creepers. 1629 01:28:39.159 --> 01:28:43.399 Now there are movies about cars, and they are way 1630 01:28:43.720 --> 01:28:48.640 that way out numbers the actual titles.

It was a supernatural revenge movie 1664 01:30:57.600 --> 01:31:02.439 and a guy had a dodge, and then Redline and 1665 01:31:02.520 --> 01:31:06.560 then Torque. I don't remember that that was mostly about 1666 01:31:06.600 --> 01:31:12.439 motorcycles though. Then you had cars from Disney. You had cars, cars, 1667 01:31:12.479 --> 01:31:16.439 two cars, three, Herbie the love Bug, of course, Herbie 1668 01:31:16.520 --> 01:31:19.640 rise again, Herbie goes to Monte Carlo, Herbie goes Bananas, 1669 01:31:19.880 --> 01:31:25.159 Herbie fully loaded. Then you had speed Racer, two lane, 1670 01:31:25.239 --> 01:31:28.520 Black Tom God, there's so many cars are such a 1671 01:31:28.600 --> 01:31:33.439 big deal for us. Then the actual what's the one that, 1672 01:31:34.840 --> 01:31:38.760 Oh Christine, isn't that a thriller? Who wrote that one 1673 01:31:38.880 --> 01:31:42.960 that's isn't that a Stephen King? Yeah? 1674 01:31:43.439 --> 01:31:45.439 Yeah, but by the way, hold on, I have to 1675 01:31:45.600 --> 01:31:49.479 do another time out. Yeah, you're going to you're going 1676 01:31:49.600 --> 01:31:53.439 to disparage gone in sixty seconds, but you're gonna laud 1677 01:31:54.479 --> 01:31:55.199 Days of Thunder. 1678 01:31:57.079 --> 01:31:58.720 No, no, I hate Days of Thunder? 1679 01:31:58.920 --> 01:32:00.880 Okay, good, just wanted to make sure. 1680 01:32:01.000 --> 01:32:01.399 Yeah, no, no. 1681 01:32:02.039 --> 01:32:04.479 In fact, there are not many Tom Cruise movie. Well 1682 01:32:04.520 --> 01:32:06.520 I shouldn't say that. I like the Top One series, 1683 01:32:08.279 --> 01:32:12.680 but most of Tom Cruise movies are just monuments to himself. 1684 01:32:13.359 --> 01:32:15.600 You know, He's how can I make myself look cool? 1685 01:32:15.680 --> 01:32:18.720 And I mean the acting is not there. And I 1686 01:32:18.800 --> 01:32:23.039 mean Tom does have talent though, man, I mean not 1687 01:32:23.159 --> 01:32:25.439 that he cares what I think. But there was this 1688 01:32:25.560 --> 01:32:29.680 one movie he played this guy, this bald guy, this 1689 01:32:29.880 --> 01:32:38.800 fat bald guy, Tropic Thunder. Yes, yes, yes, you're right man. 1690 01:32:40.439 --> 01:32:42.520 You know that told me that this guy's got talent. 1691 01:32:42.640 --> 01:32:45.520 I mean he truly went out of himself on that one. 1692 01:32:45.680 --> 01:32:48.359 Because there are a lot of actors who act like 1693 01:32:48.439 --> 01:32:51.600 themselves and you know, and I have a feeling d 1694 01:32:51.680 --> 01:32:54.079 Niro's one of them. I mean d Niro's brilliant. He's 1695 01:32:54.159 --> 01:32:57.039 freaking brilliant. But really, if you look at all his characters, 1696 01:32:57.399 --> 01:33:01.279 aren't they all kind of the same expressions, this same 1697 01:33:01.720 --> 01:33:07.239 smirk on his face, A smart ass. No matter what 1698 01:33:07.359 --> 01:33:10.359 he plays, it's it's a smart ass. I like him, 1699 01:33:10.600 --> 01:33:14.399 but you're right, it's a smart ass and he plays 1700 01:33:14.479 --> 01:33:16.960 it very well. And I think one of the most 1701 01:33:17.079 --> 01:33:21.680 understated talented people in show business, honest to god, one 1702 01:33:21.680 --> 01:33:27.359 of the understated is a Jimmy Fallon. He he truly 1703 01:33:27.600 --> 01:33:30.760 he can act, he can sing, he can dance. He's 1704 01:33:30.840 --> 01:33:34.960 just an old and Jimmy Fallon. He grew up twelve 1705 01:33:35.039 --> 01:33:36.920 miles away from me in a small town, went to 1706 01:33:37.039 --> 01:33:42.000 high school with my first wife, and he was that 1707 01:33:42.319 --> 01:33:44.920 He was from this little town in upstate New York 1708 01:33:45.399 --> 01:33:49.720 called Sogrates, and he put that place on the map 1709 01:33:49.800 --> 01:33:51.800 because he was such a good guy. He'd come back 1710 01:33:51.880 --> 01:33:54.399 and and and he never got too big for his 1711 01:33:54.520 --> 01:33:58.920 hometown and would really gratiate himself around town. And he's 1712 01:33:59.079 --> 01:34:02.359 just a down to earth person. Deputy Bow Right after this, 1713 01:34:02.520 --> 01:34:05.079 he's gonna tell us about yesterday. Now, I know we 1714 01:34:05.159 --> 01:34:07.920 talked about it actually leading up to it, but what 1715 01:34:08.119 --> 01:34:12.840 actually happened and it worked, it just astounds me.

Deputy Bow is an upsy, 1727 01:35:01.680 --> 01:35:03.760 so I want to Basically, a woman called in her 1728 01:35:03.800 --> 01:35:06.600 eighties and said, they say I need a new furnace. 1729 01:35:07.079 --> 01:35:10.119 That's really what it boils down to, and the furnace 1730 01:35:10.119 --> 01:35:14.319 would have cost her nine grand or more. Deputy Boux investigated, 1731 01:35:14.359 --> 01:35:15.399 and what did you find, Bow? 1732 01:35:17.079 --> 01:35:23.680 Yes, Arlene, she had no heed. She called approximately five 1733 01:35:23.880 --> 01:35:28.680 companies out there and he basically, we're just trying to 1734 01:35:28.800 --> 01:35:33.760 sell her new equipment. Most of them skated that the 1735 01:35:33.960 --> 01:35:37.920 furnace is inhoperable, of course, but no parts were available. 1736 01:35:38.000 --> 01:35:41.319 He just couldn't get parts for it, and her hands 1737 01:35:41.359 --> 01:35:45.119 on a fit income. She's got her daughter and I 1738 01:35:45.199 --> 01:35:48.560 think some grandkids living there. They just couldn't afford the 1739 01:35:48.880 --> 01:35:52.600 nine thousand dollars for a new furnace. And it was 1740 01:35:53.039 --> 01:35:56.680 a it's trained equipment to eighty percent efficient. It's about 1741 01:35:56.760 --> 01:35:59.720 fifteen years old. I went over there and looked at 1742 01:35:59.800 --> 01:36:03.399 it and was able to determine basically what the issue was, 1743 01:36:04.239 --> 01:36:07.800 and it was the motor in the computer assists for 1744 01:36:07.920 --> 01:36:12.560 the available speed drive. I couldn't play one locally, but 1745 01:36:12.720 --> 01:36:16.319 I called the manufacture train and I told them the 1746 01:36:16.439 --> 01:36:19.000 story about ear Lean and how she didn't have heat 1747 01:36:19.039 --> 01:36:22.520 in her house it's October, and uh, you know, they 1748 01:36:22.600 --> 01:36:27.079 felt sorry for and they they went ahead and contacted 1749 01:36:27.680 --> 01:36:30.479 a distributors back east to New Jersey and found the 1750 01:36:30.560 --> 01:36:35.079 engine with the computer board and they now hold on, bo. 1751 01:36:35.279 --> 01:36:38.800 Bo, you bo, You've been in the business years and years, 1752 01:36:39.920 --> 01:36:43.479 and what I want to isn't it unusual to have 1753 01:36:43.680 --> 01:36:45.680 parts available for old furnaces like that? 1754 01:36:47.520 --> 01:36:51.000 Yes, they're available, but this was this was a union. 1755 01:36:51.199 --> 01:36:54.920 But is it unusual? Is it unusual that they're available 1756 01:36:55.079 --> 01:36:56.439 or are they readily available? 1757 01:36:57.239 --> 01:36:59.840 They're normally readily available if you look for them. 1758 01:37:01.239 --> 01:37:03.279 Okay, then I want to know this, Why are so 1759 01:37:03.479 --> 01:37:06.479 many companies? And I guess the answer is profit. Why 1760 01:37:06.560 --> 01:37:09.760 are so many companies hell bent on replacing? If someone 1761 01:37:09.880 --> 01:37:12.239 is older and can't afford it, and they can do 1762 01:37:12.359 --> 01:37:14.680 a replacement of a board, why don't they? 1763 01:37:16.479 --> 01:37:19.880 Well they're going to try to quote somebody nine thousand 1764 01:37:19.960 --> 01:37:23.680 dollars versus maybe two thousand dollars from repair. There's a 1765 01:37:23.800 --> 01:37:26.800 hell of a lot more money in new installation than 1766 01:37:26.880 --> 01:37:29.399 there is a repair. And then you got to track 1767 01:37:29.520 --> 01:37:30.079 down the park. 1768 01:37:30.199 --> 01:37:33.199 Now, the puts on older furnaces are a little. 1769 01:37:33.000 --> 01:37:34.680 More tricky to find. You just got to do a 1770 01:37:34.720 --> 01:37:38.239 little investigating on it. But no, they were just trying 1771 01:37:38.279 --> 01:37:41.520 to sell her a new piece of equipment. But parts 1772 01:37:41.520 --> 01:37:43.880 are I think parts. I've got a boiler in my 1773 01:37:44.000 --> 01:37:47.039 house is installed in nineteen sixty three, and I could 1774 01:37:47.039 --> 01:37:51.920 still get parts for it. You know, these new technically tecticians, 1775 01:37:51.960 --> 01:37:53.439 they just don't want to They just want to go 1776 01:37:53.520 --> 01:37:54.439 in and sell. 1777 01:37:55.039 --> 01:37:57.479 Now, was this a boiler or furnace? 1778 01:37:58.479 --> 01:38:02.640 It's an eighty percent train X the eighty eighty percent 1779 01:38:02.800 --> 01:38:10.680 two stage furnace. Okay, okay, efficiency, So back to the 1780 01:38:10.800 --> 01:38:15.520 story train donated the motor. I mean the wholesale costs 1781 01:38:15.560 --> 01:38:20.239 on the motor was thirteen that was like below my cost. 1782 01:38:20.800 --> 01:38:23.479 So they ordered it about a week and a half 1783 01:38:23.560 --> 01:38:26.119 ago and the shipper lost the. 1784 01:38:26.239 --> 01:38:28.039 Motor, so. 1785 01:38:29.600 --> 01:38:31.479 I had to tell ARLINGE we had to wait another 1786 01:38:31.560 --> 01:38:35.479 week or so. So the train supply actually next day 1787 01:38:35.720 --> 01:38:39.920 air the motor the other day before it now went 1788 01:38:40.000 --> 01:38:40.640 into the shop. 1789 01:38:40.800 --> 01:38:46.279 Yes, you you had you found the train did this 1790 01:38:46.680 --> 01:38:49.520 gratus as far as installation, is that right? 1791 01:38:50.399 --> 01:38:56.239 Well, what happened. The train manufacturer supplied the motor, and 1792 01:38:56.399 --> 01:39:00.880 then Nate suggested that one of their train d HVAC 1793 01:39:01.199 --> 01:39:06.199 contractors installed the motor because the motor had to be programmed. 1794 01:39:06.279 --> 01:39:08.600 It's like these new cars that had to be programmed 1795 01:39:08.680 --> 01:39:12.840 to the furnace. So they did the programming, and then 1796 01:39:12.920 --> 01:39:18.199 they contracted with J and J Hvac company, one of 1797 01:39:18.279 --> 01:39:22.000 their best good dealers. He came out after the show. 1798 01:39:22.239 --> 01:39:27.039 I delivered the motor. Jerry from J Andjhvac met me 1799 01:39:27.159 --> 01:39:31.520 out there and they did the motor installation and she 1800 01:39:31.880 --> 01:39:36.039 had keeped by five thirty yesterday afternoon. 1801 01:39:37.000 --> 01:39:40.560 So it was a how much how much was the part? 1802 01:39:40.720 --> 01:39:45.560 By the way, Well, a contractor would have probably charged 1803 01:39:45.560 --> 01:39:48.000 her at least twenty two hundred dollars for this motor. 1804 01:39:49.920 --> 01:39:53.159 Okay, not an installation would have been included in that. 1805 01:39:54.159 --> 01:39:58.399 No installation, I would say, be about three thousand dollars. 1806 01:39:59.840 --> 01:40:04.239 Dollar. Wait wait wait, okay for the whole job. Three grand, 1807 01:40:04.680 --> 01:40:07.880 But that's still a lot cheaper. That's still a lot 1808 01:40:08.000 --> 01:40:14.880 cheaper than nine or ten. Yes, how much did it 1809 01:40:15.000 --> 01:40:18.399 end up costing her? Do you want to do? 1810 01:40:18.520 --> 01:40:20.720 You really want to know what it cost her? 1811 01:40:21.319 --> 01:40:21.520 Yeah? 1812 01:40:22.239 --> 01:40:28.479 Yeah, zero, nothing, it was all it didn't cost her, 1813 01:40:28.520 --> 01:40:33.359 that is I mean, she's so nice Social. 1814 01:40:33.159 --> 01:40:37.159 Security, so I donated my time, I just did the diagnosis, 1815 01:40:37.800 --> 01:40:40.960 Train donated the murder in the three hundred dollars next 1816 01:40:41.079 --> 01:40:45.560 day air Bill and Jane j HVAC donated their labor. 1817 01:40:45.680 --> 01:40:46.760 So it didn't cost her. 1818 01:40:46.840 --> 01:40:47.880 She just had to wait. 1819 01:40:48.359 --> 01:40:50.520 But she's got a furnace that's going to last a 1820 01:40:50.600 --> 01:40:53.640 long time, and it didn't cost her family anything. And 1821 01:40:53.760 --> 01:40:56.479 she wants to call in to the show on Monday 1822 01:40:56.520 --> 01:40:57.800 and thank you guys personally. 1823 01:40:59.000 --> 01:41:01.720 Well that would be good that bo thank you.

I have a question for Kevin 1862 01:43:10.920 --> 01:43:11.920 from sharedon Auto Tech. 1863 01:43:12.520 --> 01:43:12.800 Kevin. 1864 01:43:12.920 --> 01:43:16.039 A few years ago, Colorado made kind of a controversial 1865 01:43:16.239 --> 01:43:19.399 change by switching to a slightly different de icing agent. 1866 01:43:19.920 --> 01:43:22.479 It used to be magnesium chloride and now it's magnesium 1867 01:43:22.520 --> 01:43:25.800 chlorid and something else. And the reason it was controversial, 1868 01:43:25.880 --> 01:43:29.560 and my view still is it is much more corrosive 1869 01:43:29.640 --> 01:43:33.680 than magnesium chloride by itself is so I'm wondering. Not 1870 01:43:33.800 --> 01:43:36.000 that it's been a few years, and by the way, 1871 01:43:36.039 --> 01:43:38.319 it's not as corrosive as actual salt that they use 1872 01:43:38.359 --> 01:43:41.119 in the Midwest, so it's not a total disaster for us. 1873 01:43:41.279 --> 01:43:43.760 But now that it's been a few years, have you 1874 01:43:43.920 --> 01:43:48.760 observed a higher incidence of higher rate of either it's 1875 01:43:48.880 --> 01:43:52.359 just surface rust or rust through or anything else that 1876 01:43:52.439 --> 01:43:53.600 you see under the vehicles? 1877 01:43:53.680 --> 01:43:55.079 Is it something for us to worry about? 1878 01:43:55.399 --> 01:43:57.680 I have not, No, But they don't use a lot 1879 01:43:57.760 --> 01:44:01.520 of the chemicals here in the mountains, so I think maybe, 1880 01:44:02.119 --> 01:44:04.920 you know, mountain based communities may be seeing more of it. 1881 01:44:05.520 --> 01:44:08.439 I know, offices and different things. It's ruining carpeting and 1882 01:44:08.479 --> 01:44:11.079 stuff like that. I know, but cars, no, I haven't 1883 01:44:11.119 --> 01:44:11.760 really seen much. 1884 01:44:12.319 --> 01:44:14.479 So, you know, one of the one of the ways 1885 01:44:14.560 --> 01:44:17.840 to combat corrosion underneath is a very successful product that's 1886 01:44:17.960 --> 01:44:20.640 very popular in the Rust belt. It's called fluid film. 1887 01:44:21.239 --> 01:44:23.800 Are you familiar with that stuff? I can't find anybody 1888 01:44:23.880 --> 01:44:26.239 here who applies rust inhibitors. 1889 01:44:26.840 --> 01:44:28.239 What is that? What is that? 1890 01:44:28.359 --> 01:44:30.560 It's you know, it's like a clear liquid that they 1891 01:44:30.680 --> 01:44:33.399 spray on all over the undercarriage of the vehicle, and 1892 01:44:33.479 --> 01:44:37.359 it's it's about an annual treatment. But it apparently I 1893 01:44:37.399 --> 01:44:39.760 mean it from what I've seen of it and the 1894 01:44:39.880 --> 01:44:43.359 reviews I've read and watched on the YouTube, it's it's 1895 01:44:43.399 --> 01:44:48.600 pretty effective at keeping cars from rusting away in places 1896 01:44:48.680 --> 01:44:50.760 like New York, Chicago, Nebraska. 1897 01:44:50.920 --> 01:44:52.760 Yeah, the Midwest is the cars we see a lot 1898 01:44:52.840 --> 01:44:55.800 are just rotting in pieces there. It's terrible here. 1899 01:44:55.920 --> 01:44:57.720 You don't think I need to worry about the. 1900 01:44:59.319 --> 01:45:01.039 Car wash, you know, keep it clean. 1901 01:45:01.279 --> 01:45:06.439 Yep, Okay, thank you, Okay, I can hear the music. 1902 01:45:06.560 --> 01:45:08.119 I'll save the rest of my questions for ly. 1903 01:45:08.319 --> 01:45:11.239 Yeah, I wanna.

And 1935 01:46:59.119 --> 01:47:02.199 that price now motor that had to have been like 1936 01:47:02.399 --> 01:47:03.079 full retail. 1937 01:47:03.159 --> 01:47:04.279 I mean, it was. 1938 01:47:04.439 --> 01:47:08.239 Nice that the company came up with one and ship 1939 01:47:08.359 --> 01:47:11.079 that that really was cool.

You get a third horse power motor 1942 01:47:19.000 --> 01:47:20.760 for whatever, one hundred and fifty bucks. 1943 01:47:21.680 --> 01:47:23.039 But it was nice. 1944 01:47:23.279 --> 01:47:26.159 In these contractors, that was cool. 1945 01:47:27.520 --> 01:47:29.720 So if you will, you know what it was. But 1946 01:47:30.119 --> 01:47:33.159 but hold on, are you telling me, though, that you 1947 01:47:33.279 --> 01:47:38.399 can take a blower motor from a generic lower motor 1948 01:47:38.439 --> 01:47:40.479 and substitute it.

Okay, 1964 01:48:29.319 --> 01:48:30.920 it's got There's a lot more to it than just 1965 01:48:30.960 --> 01:48:32.640 the regular just the plane motor. 1966 01:48:33.640 --> 01:48:36.239 Well, you know, I had a boiler at my house 1967 01:48:36.359 --> 01:48:39.479 a few years ago. I went down to a company 1968 01:48:39.520 --> 01:48:41.800 in Denver Is called Johnston or something. 1969 01:48:42.560 --> 01:48:43.520 I bought a piler. 1970 01:48:43.600 --> 01:48:46.760 The only thing was like three grand, and I put 1971 01:48:46.840 --> 01:48:48.720 it in and it's holding up. 1972 01:48:48.760 --> 01:48:52.279 Fine, and well, Kennis Hard A lot of people don't 1973 01:48:52.319 --> 01:48:56.159 have the skills to do that or to troubleshoot. Oh agree, 1974 01:48:56.319 --> 01:49:00.119 Everything really comes everything really comes down to time. I 1975 01:49:00.239 --> 01:49:04.239 one time had a I traced U. I had an 1976 01:49:04.279 --> 01:49:08.279 issue with an item, and to replace the item would 1977 01:49:08.279 --> 01:49:11.800 have been eight grand. To replace the circuit board that 1978 01:49:11.920 --> 01:49:16.600 I traced it to would have been two thousand. I 1979 01:49:16.840 --> 01:49:21.119 looked at the circuit board and I found on on 1980 01:49:21.359 --> 01:49:24.680 board relay. Now, no one works on circuit boards, no 1981 01:49:24.720 --> 01:49:27.199 one does. But I found this on board. I traced 1982 01:49:27.239 --> 01:49:30.600 the signal it stopped at that on board relay. I 1983 01:49:30.720 --> 01:49:34.239 then looked at the onboard relay literally under a magnification 1984 01:49:35.159 --> 01:49:38.479 and saw it was Johnson Controls. They have an office 1985 01:49:38.560 --> 01:49:43.760 right here, and it wasn't Centennial. I asked them that 1986 01:49:43.840 --> 01:49:47.880 they had those. They said, yeah, you know, what's your 1987 01:49:47.880 --> 01:49:49.840 account number? And how many do you want? Because they 1988 01:49:50.199 --> 01:49:53.000 they're they're they're a giant manufacturer or whatever they are. 1989 01:49:53.680 --> 01:49:58.439 And I said, I want one. It's a tiny, tiny 1990 01:49:58.560 --> 01:50:02.520 little and he so, sir, we don't sell retail. He says, listen, 1991 01:50:02.560 --> 01:50:05.119 why don't you just come down and talk to me. 1992 01:50:05.399 --> 01:50:07.199 So I went down there and he handed me one, 1993 01:50:07.560 --> 01:50:10.760 a little like a little tiny chippies it here. That 1994 01:50:10.920 --> 01:50:13.560 saved me two grand I put that sucker in. I 1995 01:50:13.680 --> 01:50:16.720 sawder that in there. But no one does that anymore. 1996 01:50:16.800 --> 01:50:19.039 No one has the time to do it. You gotta 1997 01:50:19.119 --> 01:50:22.239 go take the component, then take the circuit board, then 1998 01:50:22.319 --> 01:50:24.640 trace the signal of the circuit board. And it all 1999 01:50:24.720 --> 01:50:27.640 comes down to nobody is skilled enough, nor will they 2000 01:50:27.720 --> 01:50:30.680 take the time to do it. And the labor I mean, 2001 01:50:31.399 --> 01:50:34.159 everything is R and R right now. You remove and replace. 2002 01:50:34.600 --> 01:50:35.159 That's what you do. 2003 01:50:36.279 --> 01:50:39.920 But you know, here's my thing, like my old boiler. 2004 01:50:40.000 --> 01:50:43.840 Before I replaced it, I could get some parts for 2005 01:50:43.920 --> 01:50:47.680 it pretty easy. Put them in myself pretty cheap. My 2006 01:50:48.399 --> 01:50:52.520 argument is just everything and I've done R and D, 2007 01:50:53.000 --> 01:50:58.239 I've done circuitry development and tracking and repair, but something 2008 01:50:58.479 --> 01:51:01.800 have to be so complicated. 2009 01:51:01.640 --> 01:51:01.800 You know. 2010 01:51:02.279 --> 01:51:06.640 I ran into the same dilemma the other day. Of course, 2011 01:51:06.720 --> 01:51:10.199 it wasn't my idea to get this ford, but then 2012 01:51:10.279 --> 01:51:13.000 when you own it, it's it's like a bad marriage. 2013 01:51:13.880 --> 01:51:18.399 And the window, the windows weren't going down, and there's 2014 01:51:18.479 --> 01:51:22.279 a little heater actuator. And I looked all over town 2015 01:51:22.359 --> 01:51:24.840 and all these guys wanted eight hundred bucks to do it. 2016 01:51:25.600 --> 01:51:28.800 I found some guys. I went through a whole winter 2017 01:51:28.920 --> 01:51:32.760 without a heater, but they took care of that vent 2018 01:51:32.920 --> 01:51:36.640 thing for and the window for four hundred, So yeah, 2019 01:51:36.800 --> 01:51:37.600 it can be time. 2020 01:51:37.680 --> 01:51:39.680 I was otherwise occupied. 2021 01:51:39.920 --> 01:51:43.159 Yeah, and no one like there. There are no repair 2022 01:51:43.239 --> 01:51:44.960 people anymore, and they're all dying off. 2023 01:51:46.239 --> 01:51:49.000 And you know the difference is, I've got this other 2024 01:51:49.079 --> 01:51:52.760 old pick up. You know, it's just a hand crank 2025 01:51:53.439 --> 01:51:56.640 and it's like a twelve dollars cable. If the heaters 2026 01:51:56.720 --> 01:51:59.039 messed up and a lot of car guys would go, 2027 01:51:59.319 --> 01:52:02.680 you know, that's a bygone here. And I'm thinking, well, 2028 01:52:02.880 --> 01:52:06.560 you know, it's consumers. You know, did a little bit, 2029 01:52:06.680 --> 01:52:09.640 more like, I'm not paying that for the car because 2030 01:52:09.680 --> 01:52:12.319 it's going to need so much work. Let it sit 2031 01:52:12.439 --> 01:52:15.119 up a lot. I'll get old best to go. So 2032 01:52:15.399 --> 01:52:19.279 consumers unfortunately tend to go, especially more women. 2033 01:52:19.680 --> 01:52:20.720 Oh it looks nice. 2034 01:52:20.760 --> 01:52:24.199 You know, my friends will like it. Okay, it's eight 2035 01:52:24.319 --> 01:52:28.399 hundred a month, plus another one hundred and fifty for 2036 01:52:28.640 --> 01:52:31.960 taxes and repairs and insurance. 2037 01:52:32.199 --> 01:52:36.199 By the way, over the years, just so you know, 2038 01:52:36.960 --> 01:52:39.600 over the years, more men have been ripped off with 2039 01:52:39.800 --> 01:52:42.399 used cars than women, for me, for. 2040 01:52:42.520 --> 01:52:46.039 Us, probably, yeah, I mean I believe. 2041 01:52:45.840 --> 01:52:48.800 Because I've been ripped off, they pulled the trigger way faster. 2042 01:52:49.239 --> 01:52:53.199 Women are way more skeptic. I think they ripped off women, 2043 01:52:53.239 --> 01:52:54.600 and my women ripped off. 2044 01:52:54.640 --> 01:52:55.960 I asked more questions though. 2045 01:52:56.720 --> 01:52:59.840 Well you know back now now, Kevin, go ahead, Kevin. 2046 01:53:00.199 --> 01:53:02.520 Yeah, what do I want to do? 2047 01:53:03.880 --> 01:53:07.760 Is uh this guy Jay and Jay or whatever. I'll 2048 01:53:07.800 --> 01:53:09.800 sit him a hundred bucks for doing the right thing. 2049 01:53:09.800 --> 01:53:15.079 By that lady. It's nice. I mean, I'm not well, 2050 01:53:15.439 --> 01:53:17.199 I don't have it, but I'm sure Bow will get 2051 01:53:17.199 --> 01:53:19.159 it to you and Kachina get his number. Three h 2052 01:53:19.199 --> 01:53:21.039 three seven one three talk what a nice guy? Three 2053 01:53:21.079 --> 01:53:23.000 oh three seven, one three and two five five. I 2054 01:53:23.079 --> 01:53:24.600 think it would be better spending if you sent it 2055 01:53:24.680 --> 01:53:29.000 to her, the old lady. So I have some text 2056 01:53:29.119 --> 01:53:33.079 here relating to everything we've been talking about today. Let 2057 01:53:33.119 --> 01:53:37.399 me just go to him. Okay, one here, you help 2058 01:53:37.479 --> 01:53:40.960 me when I was in Naiwat and uh Okay. The 2059 01:53:41.039 --> 01:53:44.399 problem with electric cars nowadays is that they can't make 2060 01:53:44.439 --> 01:53:47.680 it without subsidies, so they're not really viable. And I 2061 01:53:47.720 --> 01:53:50.439 don't know that's true or not, but that's what they're saying. 2062 01:53:50.960 --> 01:53:53.640 The next one here is this, how do you stop 2063 01:53:53.800 --> 01:53:54.399 vapor lock? 2064 01:53:55.000 --> 01:53:55.039 Or? 2065 01:53:55.119 --> 01:53:57.399 First of all, no, here's what they ask. What's the 2066 01:53:57.520 --> 01:53:58.960 main cause of vapor lock? 2067 01:54:01.479 --> 01:54:04.640 Just the pump can't pump vapor. It has to be liquid, 2068 01:54:05.119 --> 01:54:05.920 so it locks up. 2069 01:54:06.000 --> 01:54:07.359 Well, how does it get to be that way? 2070 01:54:07.600 --> 01:54:07.760 Heat? 2071 01:54:07.840 --> 01:54:10.000 Is the main the only thing that causes this? Heat? 2072 01:54:10.079 --> 01:54:10.239 Yes? 2073 01:54:10.880 --> 01:54:12.960 And is it heat just heat? Or is it the 2074 01:54:13.600 --> 01:54:15.000 routing of the fuel lines. 2075 01:54:15.159 --> 01:54:17.039 Well, the routing of the fuel lines by a heat 2076 01:54:17.079 --> 01:54:19.680 source and the quality of fuel combined you get a 2077 01:54:19.760 --> 01:54:20.840 vapor that can But. 2078 01:54:20.840 --> 01:54:23.119 What I want to know is this, though, if you 2079 01:54:23.239 --> 01:54:25.479 do have a vapor locked problem then and it's routed, 2080 01:54:25.560 --> 01:54:27.079 why not re route the line. 2081 01:54:26.920 --> 01:54:30.000 That's part of the repair. Yeah, also to cover the lock. 2082 01:54:31.159 --> 01:54:31.920 Did they not know that? 2083 01:54:32.199 --> 01:54:34.000 Did they not know that when they built the car? 2084 01:54:34.359 --> 01:54:35.520 Or they just take a chance. 2085 01:54:36.720 --> 01:54:39.199 I think it's a fuel quality issue as well, so 2086 01:54:39.359 --> 01:54:42.279 more alcohol and the fuel causes the vapor lock to 2087 01:54:42.359 --> 01:54:44.720 be more of a problem. But no, it's it's definitely 2088 01:54:44.760 --> 01:54:46.359 some manufacturers just don't know better. 2089 01:54:47.600 --> 01:54:50.439 Someone wants to know. Would be pouring ice cold water 2090 01:54:50.760 --> 01:54:54.560 over a line? Make it okay? Clear it? Sure, the 2091 01:54:54.600 --> 01:54:59.399 vapor until it warms up again. Yeah, okay, so we 2092 01:54:59.520 --> 01:55:02.439 get your pa rough spot. Sure, but then you have 2093 01:55:02.520 --> 01:55:03.840 to know where to pour it too. You have to 2094 01:55:03.920 --> 01:55:08.960 know where it's vaporing exactly. Now I mentioned the movie 2095 01:55:09.119 --> 01:55:12.399 Ford versus Ferrari. Somebody wants me to know that there's 2096 01:55:12.439 --> 01:55:15.600 an actual It was Carol Shelby who race that car. 2097 01:55:16.840 --> 01:55:19.000 And there's a a I didn't know this. There's a 2098 01:55:19.119 --> 01:55:23.920 Shelby American Museum. Do you know where it is? I 2099 01:55:23.960 --> 01:55:30.359 think it's the Bolder b Older, Oh it isn't. It's 2100 01:55:30.560 --> 01:55:35.039 only open on Saturdays. Can you believe that? But you 2101 01:55:35.159 --> 01:55:38.960 can actually see the Cobra and GT. Forty. That's pretty cool. 2102 01:55:39.520 --> 01:55:41.880 I did not realize that. And why would a museum 2103 01:55:41.960 --> 01:55:44.920 only be open on Saturday, I guess because they can. Okay, 2104 01:55:45.079 --> 01:55:48.920 my emission light would come on, I would tighten the 2105 01:55:48.960 --> 01:55:52.359 gas cat. About twenty miles later it come on again. 2106 01:55:53.880 --> 01:55:56.760 I install the new OEM gas cap, but the light 2107 01:55:56.960 --> 01:55:58.039 keeps coming on and off. 2108 01:55:58.239 --> 01:56:02.319 Why something other than the gas cap? 2109 01:56:03.520 --> 01:56:06.079 Well, yeah, but what would it be? But why did 2110 01:56:06.119 --> 01:56:07.479 the gas cap seem to help? 2111 01:56:08.159 --> 01:56:10.000 I don't know there than yeah, I don't know. The 2112 01:56:10.119 --> 01:56:13.359 dinner didn't but it if it's related to an evap. 2113 01:56:13.199 --> 01:56:16.119 Can that vent line being clogged? Can that vent line 2114 01:56:16.199 --> 01:56:18.600 being clogged in the fuel system cause that flogged or 2115 01:56:18.600 --> 01:56:21.399 a hole in the line or a selenoid stape? By 2116 01:56:21.439 --> 01:56:23.319 the way, those who want to know what that vent 2117 01:56:23.439 --> 01:56:27.359 line is, it's in the filler neck of the car 2118 01:56:27.680 --> 01:56:30.680 and events to the down underneath outside. 2119 01:56:30.319 --> 01:56:33.520 Right, Well, nothing vents outside anymore, that's the thing. It's 2120 01:56:33.520 --> 01:56:36.720 a sealed system. Where does e vent events back to 2121 01:56:36.840 --> 01:56:40.359 the fuel tank, So it'll go through the charcoal canister 2122 01:56:40.479 --> 01:56:41.239 and back to the tank. 2123 01:56:42.359 --> 01:56:45.920 And the number one way it gets clogged is people overfuel. 2124 01:56:45.600 --> 01:56:47.359 Or over that's a big problem. 2125 01:56:47.640 --> 01:56:51.399 Fill their car, yes, so you overfill your car and 2126 01:56:51.560 --> 01:56:54.359 what happens is that eventually gets debris in it and 2127 01:56:54.479 --> 01:56:56.600 it clogs, and that can cause an engine light. 2128 01:56:57.359 --> 01:57:00.640 It can cause contamination in that charcoal canister. That causes 2129 01:57:00.680 --> 01:57:01.520 all kinds of problems. 2130 01:57:01.600 --> 01:57:06.079 Yeah, all right.

It sounds like 2144 01:58:03.760 --> 01:58:05.560 a lifter, but as soon as it warms up, the 2145 01:58:05.640 --> 01:58:09.399 tick goes completely away, and it's only at idle. I've 2146 01:58:09.439 --> 01:58:10.680 never seen anything like that before. 2147 01:58:12.079 --> 01:58:15.319 Now, wait, it's only at idle, You mean when it ticks, 2148 01:58:17.079 --> 01:58:17.600 when when. 2149 01:58:17.439 --> 01:58:20.199 You first started it's idling seven hundred and fifty rpm, 2150 01:58:20.239 --> 01:58:22.319 you'll hear it tick tick tick tick tick. You bring 2151 01:58:22.359 --> 01:58:25.399 it up to a thy twelve hundred goes away smooth, 2152 01:58:25.600 --> 01:58:28.520 runs up to three four thousand RPMs, come back down 2153 01:58:28.560 --> 01:58:29.479 to an idol smooth. 2154 01:58:32.119 --> 01:58:36.079 Okay, So it's only when you first started on an idol. 2155 01:58:36.439 --> 01:58:39.600 Yeah, yeah, it's like the first five minutes, six minutes 2156 01:58:39.640 --> 01:58:40.000 at idle. 2157 01:58:40.159 --> 01:58:47.479 Yeah, what if you started it up pick up to Okay, no, 2158 01:58:47.960 --> 01:58:50.680 go ahead to ask you a question. Okay. 2159 01:58:50.720 --> 01:58:52.479 So there's an O ring on the pickup too, for 2160 01:58:52.560 --> 01:58:54.600 the oil pump. I've heard that O ring can be 2161 01:58:54.720 --> 01:58:57.880 collapsed or break or deform, and so I er rates 2162 01:58:57.960 --> 01:59:00.680 the oil through the oil pump, causing the lifter to 2163 01:59:00.920 --> 01:59:01.880 basically bleed out. 2164 01:59:03.399 --> 01:59:05.680 Yeah, but it wouldn't be that, Kevin, It wouldn't come 2165 01:59:05.760 --> 01:59:08.159 back that quickly if that was, if that was leaking, 2166 01:59:08.199 --> 01:59:11.800 you wouldn't have that wouldn't steal itself up. Uh, you know, 2167 01:59:11.880 --> 01:59:14.960 you could just have a weak lifter slightly out of adjustment, 2168 01:59:15.640 --> 01:59:18.760 you know, possibly worn a little bit warm push rod 2169 01:59:18.880 --> 01:59:19.600 or anything, like that. 2170 01:59:20.600 --> 01:59:23.600 Have you have you looked at it? What's it? 2171 01:59:24.600 --> 01:59:25.760 How do you adjust lifters? 2172 01:59:25.800 --> 01:59:28.680 I'm kind of thinking that myself. That's non adjustable. 2173 01:59:28.920 --> 01:59:30.479 Those are non adjustable. 2174 01:59:30.520 --> 01:59:32.800 But the push rod itself could be a little worn out, 2175 01:59:32.840 --> 01:59:34.199 so it's got a little bit of slop in it. 2176 01:59:34.279 --> 01:59:37.199 So you need to expect the rocker arms, push rods, 2177 01:59:37.199 --> 01:59:38.920 all that because it could be taking up that slack. 2178 01:59:39.000 --> 01:59:40.960 How many miles? How many miles on it? 2179 01:59:41.600 --> 01:59:41.720 Uh? 2180 01:59:41.960 --> 01:59:43.000 One hundred and seventy? 2181 01:59:43.359 --> 01:59:43.560 Yeah? 2182 01:59:43.800 --> 01:59:47.600 Yeah, sure, Oh okay, it could be a push rod now. 2183 01:59:49.399 --> 01:59:51.680 Will like a lifter though, if you've got a slight 2184 01:59:51.760 --> 01:59:54.800 exhaust leak as it warms up, it'll see it. 2185 01:59:55.640 --> 01:59:55.840 Yeah. 2186 01:59:56.560 --> 02:00:00.479 What about you can not suffer start? It's right back, Kevin? 2187 02:00:00.520 --> 02:00:03.680 What about a failing fuel injector? Don't they sometimes make 2188 02:00:03.720 --> 02:00:06.840 a tick tick tick tick sound like a lifter somewhat. 2189 02:00:06.479 --> 02:00:09.119 But that's a throttle body injection on his You have 2190 02:00:09.239 --> 02:00:11.439 separate injectors. Yeah, okay. 2191 02:00:11.520 --> 02:00:14.399 I have a very obvious question. What if you start Sean, 2192 02:00:14.560 --> 02:00:16.560 What if you started it up and just took off 2193 02:00:16.640 --> 02:00:20.800 right away? Would you hear it? Now? 2194 02:00:20.840 --> 02:00:23.439 Because you don't be idling, It's only at idle once 2195 02:00:23.479 --> 02:00:24.640 it gets above a thousand kicks. 2196 02:00:24.640 --> 02:00:27.279 It's only at idle at first. It's only at idle 2197 02:00:27.359 --> 02:00:28.479 when it's cool, that's it. 2198 02:00:30.159 --> 02:00:32.479 Or or on first startup that's set fifteen minutes drive 2199 02:00:32.520 --> 02:00:34.119 to the store coming back. But I've set the teen 2200 02:00:34.159 --> 02:00:35.279 inspired up that's there. 2201 02:00:37.600 --> 02:00:40.119 That is so odd. I think it's just a sticky one. 2202 02:00:40.159 --> 02:00:41.359 It's it's sticky. 2203 02:00:41.560 --> 02:00:42.479 What I would do is throw it. 2204 02:00:42.720 --> 02:00:43.359 Couldn't it be G? 2205 02:00:43.720 --> 02:00:46.000 Couldn't it be g a BG cleaner? Fix that? 2206 02:00:46.159 --> 02:00:47.600 I was just going there. I'd throw a can of 2207 02:00:47.680 --> 02:00:49.920 m Away in there, let it run for for a 2208 02:00:49.960 --> 02:00:51.399 week or so to see if it doesn't help. 2209 02:00:53.520 --> 02:00:55.680 I'll bet you that clears it up, because it's not 2210 02:00:55.880 --> 02:00:57.279 bad enough to be consistent. 2211 02:00:57.520 --> 02:01:00.520 Yep, No, I remember I've seen a lifter fell. 2212 02:01:00.640 --> 02:01:01.039 It fails. 2213 02:01:01.119 --> 02:01:03.920 It takes no matter what, continuously right. 2214 02:01:04.680 --> 02:01:09.199 That's right. And sticky ones only do it. Yeah, they 2215 02:01:09.239 --> 02:01:12.760 only do it when they're sticking. So I think what 2216 02:01:12.960 --> 02:01:15.560 Kevin said, what is that called BG? What is it 2217 02:01:15.640 --> 02:01:19.079 called Kevin Motor Oil Additive? And the the initials on 2218 02:01:19.159 --> 02:01:20.039 the bottle m A. 2219 02:01:21.840 --> 02:01:22.119 Or can? 2220 02:01:22.239 --> 02:01:24.680 I should Yep, I tried it. 2221 02:01:24.960 --> 02:01:25.319 It works. 2222 02:01:25.399 --> 02:01:27.000 How about put a little b ATF in there. 2223 02:01:27.560 --> 02:01:30.039 It's the same cave concept, but I I don't. I 2224 02:01:30.159 --> 02:01:32.199 like the MOA better. It's a little better lubricit and 2225 02:01:32.239 --> 02:01:32.720 everything else. 2226 02:01:33.279 --> 02:01:36.359 God, everyone, you know what, I've never talked not one, 2227 02:01:36.760 --> 02:01:40.600 not one time have I talked to it or a 2228 02:01:40.680 --> 02:01:44.720 mechanic that did not love BEG products. I've never talked 2229 02:01:44.760 --> 02:01:48.880 to one ever. Yeah, thanks for calling. We got more 2230 02:01:48.880 --> 02:01:50.760 coming up. Well, let me let me actually go to 2231 02:01:50.920 --> 02:01:54.079 some of these sex like like heat and fuel pressure 2232 02:01:54.720 --> 02:01:58.119 causes vapor lock. Okay, sorry that because and that's what 2233 02:01:58.199 --> 02:02:02.159 we talked about, uh, lack of fuel pressure, I would say, right, 2234 02:02:04.079 --> 02:02:07.359 just wondering what happened to the guy that was ripped 2235 02:02:07.399 --> 02:02:11.439 off a Mercedes deal by a Mercedes dealer in Colorado Springs. 2236 02:02:11.880 --> 02:02:14.880 You had him on with an attorney, Reina, and she 2237 02:02:15.000 --> 02:02:17.920 was supposed to help. By the way, that I think 2238 02:02:17.960 --> 02:02:21.199 she still has that case. She should take it. So Actually, 2239 02:02:21.800 --> 02:02:24.560 I have a feeling, because we've asked about it time 2240 02:02:24.600 --> 02:02:27.439 and time again, I have a feeling they signed an NDA, 2241 02:02:28.279 --> 02:02:32.359 a non disclosure agreement because I think she handled it. 2242 02:02:32.840 --> 02:02:35.840 I mean, I'm just thinking that because what I'm hearing 2243 02:02:36.039 --> 02:02:39.720 is nothing from him, and she was not really willing 2244 02:02:39.880 --> 02:02:42.199 to talk about it, right, Kelly, we asked about it 2245 02:02:42.279 --> 02:02:44.720 a long time ago, did anyway? 2246 02:02:45.000 --> 02:02:45.560 Yeah, we did. 2247 02:02:47.159 --> 02:02:50.600 Okay, And here's another one. Do you have a follow 2248 02:02:50.720 --> 02:02:52.680 up on the family. Susan was trying to help get 2249 02:02:52.720 --> 02:02:55.960 birth certificates. What happened was the parents never got birth 2250 02:02:56.000 --> 02:02:58.520 certificates on their kids. They went through their whole life 2251 02:02:58.800 --> 02:03:01.000 to skate in the system, and then finally it was 2252 02:03:01.039 --> 02:03:03.359 catching up to him. I don't actually know. I got 2253 02:03:03.479 --> 02:03:06.479 to ask Susan about that. I really don't know, Tom. 2254 02:03:06.520 --> 02:03:07.960 I know a little bit about it. 2255 02:03:08.119 --> 02:03:10.239 Susan and I discussed it about three weeks ago. 2256 02:03:11.600 --> 02:03:13.840 Oh really okay? Yeah, and nothing. 2257 02:03:14.000 --> 02:03:16.000 I mean she even said that there are two attorneys 2258 02:03:16.039 --> 02:03:19.199 that were helping with this matter. But apparently those three 2259 02:03:20.000 --> 02:03:22.880 texts I think they're in Texas, those three people still 2260 02:03:22.920 --> 02:03:26.199 haven't been able to get any birth thy coudness. 2261 02:03:28.560 --> 02:03:31.800 Okay, Tom, I reached out to discount Bath on your 2262 02:03:31.840 --> 02:03:36.079 referral list, and they want to have thirty They want 2263 02:03:36.119 --> 02:03:39.359 thirty percent up to upfront. I know you always preach 2264 02:03:39.520 --> 02:03:44.359 no money upfront, but is there an exception for referralest members. 2265 02:03:44.600 --> 02:03:47.319 Now this is a touchy subject. No, there's not an 2266 02:03:47.399 --> 02:03:50.960 exception for referraless numbers. People. Now, I don't require that 2267 02:03:51.039 --> 02:03:52.880 they do that as part of the referral list. I 2268 02:03:52.960 --> 02:03:54.640 don't say to be on the referral list, she can't 2269 02:03:54.680 --> 02:03:57.600 take money up front, but I do outline how money 2270 02:03:57.680 --> 02:04:00.760 should be taken upfront if you're on the referral which 2271 02:04:00.920 --> 02:04:03.159 means you can do it in s grow, you can 2272 02:04:03.239 --> 02:04:05.520 do it with a credit card, which is contestable, or 2273 02:04:05.600 --> 02:04:08.319 you can do it in some other form like when 2274 02:04:08.479 --> 02:04:14.680 materials are delivered or work begins, including planning. But really 2275 02:04:14.880 --> 02:04:18.159 and truly, no matter what, I don't care who you are. 2276 02:04:19.319 --> 02:04:21.840 If you put money down, you're at risk. It's not 2277 02:04:22.000 --> 02:04:26.239 because the company's bad. It's because you're at risk. Anything 2278 02:04:26.279 --> 02:04:30.560 can happen to anyone, So it's always better not to 2279 02:04:30.600 --> 02:04:34.479 put money down. That doesn't mean every time you put 2280 02:04:34.560 --> 02:04:37.520 money down you'll be ripped off. But I know this 2281 02:04:37.720 --> 02:04:43.760 for absolutely positively sure that it's almost impossible to get 2282 02:04:43.840 --> 02:04:47.359 ripped off if you don't put money down. Now, when 2283 02:04:47.399 --> 02:04:50.359 I say almost impossible, what do I mean? Well, you 2284 02:04:50.439 --> 02:04:52.880 could get ripped off in this way. They start work, 2285 02:04:53.399 --> 02:04:57.199 they tear your house up, they're incompetent and stupid. They 2286 02:04:57.239 --> 02:04:59.720 didn't take any money, but they leave. Well, you kind 2287 02:04:59.760 --> 02:05:03.359 of got ripped off, right. So again, I don't think 2288 02:05:03.399 --> 02:05:05.520 you have a problem with discount Bath. I don't think 2289 02:05:05.560 --> 02:05:07.159 you have a problem with anyone on the refer list. 2290 02:05:07.239 --> 02:05:09.960 But you could. I mean, you know, so you have 2291 02:05:10.039 --> 02:05:12.239 to play it by ear. You can say, well, well, Chris, 2292 02:05:12.960 --> 02:05:16.319 thirty percent sounds hefty. Can I pay for materials when 2293 02:05:16.319 --> 02:05:19.239 they're delivered? Can I pay for plans? Can I play 2294 02:05:19.359 --> 02:05:23.239 for work beginning? Can I pay in stages to me? 2295 02:05:23.960 --> 02:05:27.279 You know, you negotiate again, It's gonna have to be 2296 02:05:27.359 --> 02:05:30.279 a decision you make. Now, are they a cut above 2297 02:05:30.319 --> 02:05:34.520 regular businesses? Yes? Is it guaranteed? Nothing is? I mean 2298 02:05:34.560 --> 02:05:37.680 they could be hit by a bus. So if you 2299 02:05:37.800 --> 02:05:41.119 do make money down, like for custom orders, for example, 2300 02:05:41.760 --> 02:05:43.920 Chris may say, well, we custom order stuff if they 2301 02:05:44.000 --> 02:05:46.560 if they custom order, you can make You can put 2302 02:05:46.600 --> 02:05:48.800 money down with the factory and just make sure the 2303 02:05:48.920 --> 02:05:52.000 job is in your name, because plenty of times when 2304 02:05:52.039 --> 02:05:54.920 people put money down. The big problem comes when stuff 2305 02:05:55.000 --> 02:05:58.319 is ordered like windows or doors or counters or whatever 2306 02:05:58.359 --> 02:06:01.640 they're ordered for the house, and something does happen to 2307 02:06:01.720 --> 02:06:05.199 the company or to the person. You go to the 2308 02:06:05.279 --> 02:06:07.399 factory and they say, we don't know this is yours. 2309 02:06:09.039 --> 02:06:11.560 We don't know you paid for this, so you have 2310 02:06:11.720 --> 02:06:14.359 your address tagged with it and your name, and if 2311 02:06:14.399 --> 02:06:16.079 you want to pay for advance, of course you can 2312 02:06:16.119 --> 02:06:18.720 pay for windows that are being custom made for yourself. 2313 02:06:18.800 --> 02:06:21.479 Of course you can, but you know that they're yours. 2314 02:06:21.960 --> 02:06:25.359 So if something happens with the company, those windows will 2315 02:06:25.359 --> 02:06:27.920 be delivered to you if you pay the balance. 2316 02:06:28.000 --> 02:06:28.119 Right. 2317 02:06:28.960 --> 02:06:32.680 So those are the kinds of things I say, protect yourself, 2318 02:06:32.960 --> 02:06:35.880 no matter who you are. Jay says he has a 2319 02:06:35.920 --> 02:06:39.680 comment on that fuel deal. Do you mean the ticking 2320 02:06:39.840 --> 02:06:43.840 sound or do you mean vapor lock? Go ahead, Jay, The. 2321 02:06:44.039 --> 02:06:48.600 Ticking sound normally is something that's under pressure that needs 2322 02:06:48.680 --> 02:06:51.520 hydraulic pressure, fleets off a little bit like a list 2323 02:06:51.720 --> 02:06:55.199 might lead off a little or the cam they have 2324 02:06:55.279 --> 02:07:00.640 a little hydraulics pull pushes it when you speed up. 2325 02:07:00.720 --> 02:07:04.239 It adjusted for cam timing. So if you can kind 2326 02:07:04.239 --> 02:07:06.880 of isolate where it's, it's it's probably one of those 2327 02:07:06.920 --> 02:07:10.279 two and it'll never get better. It's pretty a lot worse. 2328 02:07:10.960 --> 02:07:12.880 But when you're an idol, you have very low oil 2329 02:07:12.920 --> 02:07:15.840 pressure compared to when you're really cranking it up, so 2330 02:07:16.479 --> 02:07:19.119 just kind of pumps it back up, shut it off. 2331 02:07:19.199 --> 02:07:23.920 Its pressure leads back off any good mechanic shop. I'm 2332 02:07:23.920 --> 02:07:25.399 sure Kevin can trying to figure that one out. 2333 02:07:26.680 --> 02:07:31.359 Two, how do you replace that? Is it the lifter 2334 02:07:31.479 --> 02:07:32.159 you're replacing? 2335 02:07:33.479 --> 02:07:36.399 Yeah, you put a set of lifters in Never do 2336 02:07:36.520 --> 02:07:39.039 one lifter, but yeah, generally you just put a set 2337 02:07:39.079 --> 02:07:39.760 of lifters in it. 2338 02:07:40.199 --> 02:07:40.560 Exactly. 2339 02:07:40.760 --> 02:07:43.119 You can put new lifters on an old cam, not 2340 02:07:43.319 --> 02:07:43.880 vice versa. 2341 02:07:46.279 --> 02:07:49.199 Oh fine, all. 2342 02:07:49.239 --> 02:07:53.279 Right, three or three seven one, three eight, two five five. 2343 02:07:58.920 --> 02:08:02.159 Go with a sure thing Denver's best roofer Excel Roofing 2344 02:08:02.279 --> 02:08:04.920 dot com.

Okay, So, uh, we've been talking 2354 02:08:47.279 --> 02:08:50.800 about various things, and I was going through my texts 2355 02:08:51.359 --> 02:08:53.840 let me get to this last one here. Oh, I'm 2356 02:08:53.880 --> 02:08:56.680 all through them. Okay, So now we've been also doing 2357 02:08:56.720 --> 02:08:59.199 stuff in the mechanic. If you want to play that game, 2358 02:08:59.279 --> 02:09:01.119 you can call and try to stump us and I'll 2359 02:09:01.159 --> 02:09:02.159 even have a prize for you. 2360 02:09:04.119 --> 02:09:06.720 With EVS, you know how important marks, you know, get 2361 02:09:06.800 --> 02:09:08.800 home button is and everything. How important is that to you? 2362 02:09:09.199 --> 02:09:09.880 Self driving? 2363 02:09:12.039 --> 02:09:14.000 Now, what do you mean about that? Oh, the self drive? 2364 02:09:14.079 --> 02:09:14.600 Self driving? 2365 02:09:15.159 --> 02:09:18.239 It's not important. It's more of a cool thing for me. 2366 02:09:19.800 --> 02:09:22.319 So now I think once that improves, I think EV 2367 02:09:22.399 --> 02:09:26.600 has become more viable because you can open up a 2368 02:09:26.640 --> 02:09:29.560 whole okaynder market of people. You know, say you're you know, 2369 02:09:29.680 --> 02:09:31.600 you go to a restaurant, have a few drinks. You know, 2370 02:09:32.960 --> 02:09:36.000 maybe your driving skills are diminishing, or you know, you 2371 02:09:36.079 --> 02:09:38.840 still have independence, but you don't have to drive the car. 2372 02:09:43.760 --> 02:09:48.439 What as far as self driving, I mean when he 2373 02:09:48.560 --> 02:09:51.920 says it's the best self driving ever, what is I've 2374 02:09:51.960 --> 02:09:54.920 not experienced it? I mean, does it literally take you 2375 02:09:55.039 --> 02:09:57.840 from point to point and stop in between? See, I 2376 02:09:57.960 --> 02:09:59.439 don't I've never experienced that. 2377 02:09:59.560 --> 02:10:01.399 That's what he He says. He can push the go 2378 02:10:01.600 --> 02:10:03.600 home button from the parking lot here, and the car 2379 02:10:03.720 --> 02:10:07.279 does it just turns and goes away. It needs to 2380 02:10:07.319 --> 02:10:10.800 go stops at lights, stops for traffic, changes lanes, to 2381 02:10:10.920 --> 02:10:12.760 maintain speed, all kinds of stuff, and. 2382 02:10:13.039 --> 02:10:15.960 It doesn't require See, my Beamer doesn't have any the 2383 02:10:16.119 --> 02:10:19.439 thing near like that, but it does have My Beamer 2384 02:10:19.560 --> 02:10:23.159 does have self driving, but you know, not anything like that. 2385 02:10:24.000 --> 02:10:27.520 But I can't take my hands off though. Does Tesla 2386 02:10:27.640 --> 02:10:29.039 allow you to take your hands off? 2387 02:10:29.119 --> 02:10:30.560 I don't know if it's hands off or it has 2388 02:10:30.640 --> 02:10:34.800 to see you. There is some limitation, yes, yeah, it's 2389 02:10:34.840 --> 02:10:36.520 not you can't sit in the back seat and have 2390 02:10:36.640 --> 02:10:37.640 a you know, drive you. 2391 02:10:38.439 --> 02:10:41.119 But he raves about it like like, man, I don't 2392 02:10:41.119 --> 02:10:43.640 even have to touch it, you know. He talks about 2393 02:10:43.680 --> 02:10:52.079 it being okay. Somebody wants to know if with newer cars, 2394 02:10:52.560 --> 02:10:57.439 do you have to worry about uh, deep snow as 2395 02:10:57.479 --> 02:10:59.640 far as if snow got up under the engine, what 2396 02:10:59.800 --> 02:11:02.520 it could do to you or any electronics. 2397 02:11:05.079 --> 02:11:07.680 When you go through a director TV or a regular car, 2398 02:11:07.760 --> 02:11:10.159 regular car, not so much. I mean a regular car, 2399 02:11:10.279 --> 02:11:12.279 the snow melt, it'll get out of there. Yeah, it's 2400 02:11:12.319 --> 02:11:14.279 not going to hurt anything. I mean if it's completely 2401 02:11:14.359 --> 02:11:17.640 submerged and you know, like in an avalanche or something. Yeah, 2402 02:11:17.680 --> 02:11:19.960 you got an issue, but yeah, just a little bit 2403 02:11:20.039 --> 02:11:21.680 of snow. No, it's not gonna hurt anything. 2404 02:11:23.159 --> 02:11:26.640 Now somebody else wanted to know about or not wanted 2405 02:11:26.680 --> 02:11:29.600 to want to express. Tom you asked, is a time 2406 02:11:29.640 --> 02:11:32.600 for an EV? Not this time around, hardly ever. I 2407 02:11:32.680 --> 02:11:36.880 think it's going to be at least thirty years before 2408 02:11:37.000 --> 02:11:40.079 EV's take a foothold. Do you think it'll be that long? 2409 02:11:40.640 --> 02:11:41.239 Thirty years? 2410 02:11:41.439 --> 02:11:44.399 I think stuff changes so rapidly. I think thirty years 2411 02:11:44.479 --> 02:11:45.760 maybe a little too far out there. 2412 02:11:47.680 --> 02:11:48.520 Things do change. 2413 02:11:49.000 --> 02:11:50.680 The rest ten years. I think there's gonna be a 2414 02:11:50.720 --> 02:11:51.199 big shift. 2415 02:11:52.760 --> 02:11:56.880 Well, I will tell you this. Every major car manufacturer 2416 02:11:56.960 --> 02:12:00.840 now has an electric offering, every one of them, every 2417 02:12:00.920 --> 02:12:04.640 one of them. So but at some point they're gonna 2418 02:12:04.640 --> 02:12:06.680 have to go all in. Like I talked about the 2419 02:12:06.720 --> 02:12:10.800 g Wagon. Okay, that's a very expensive, exaggeration, exaggerated vehicle. 2420 02:12:11.279 --> 02:12:15.760 They're stupid expensive for no reason. And when I owned mine, 2421 02:12:16.119 --> 02:12:18.159 I've had two of them. I've owned them before. They 2422 02:12:18.199 --> 02:12:22.199 were before they were like a thing. They weren't a thing. 2423 02:12:23.279 --> 02:12:26.000 It started to be a thing after my second one, 2424 02:12:26.520 --> 02:12:30.199 when I was into it already. Then it became a thing, 2425 02:12:30.279 --> 02:12:33.760 and you could not even order one or buy one 2426 02:12:34.520 --> 02:12:39.239 for MSRP. When I was buying them, you you discounted, 2427 02:12:39.319 --> 02:12:41.600 are just like a regular car. You're going to negotiate. 2428 02:12:42.960 --> 02:12:45.600 Not only did they go to MSRP, but they literally 2429 02:12:45.720 --> 02:12:49.079 went Do you know, Kevin, at one time it was 2430 02:12:49.239 --> 02:12:52.399 one hundred and fifty thousand dollars over MSRP. 2431 02:12:52.640 --> 02:12:54.800 I remember you saying that to get a regularly just. 2432 02:12:55.840 --> 02:12:59.960 Exited and they were selling. Can you imagine the idiot 2433 02:13:00.760 --> 02:13:04.920 who paid one hundred and fifty thousand dollars more than 2434 02:13:04.960 --> 02:13:08.359 the invoice? Do you imagine how upside down they were in. 2435 02:13:08.439 --> 02:13:11.319 That car constantly You never me never recover from that. 2436 02:13:12.800 --> 02:13:16.720 Never and now now, just now, when I was inquiring, 2437 02:13:17.359 --> 02:13:20.560 they said, if you order or buysock, doesn't matter. You 2438 02:13:20.640 --> 02:13:26.560 will pay fifty thousand dollars over on a fifty thousand 2439 02:13:26.600 --> 02:13:31.000 dollars over on an MG and twenty five thousand over on. 2440 02:13:31.039 --> 02:13:35.920 A regular and keep it. Yeah, okay, I mean I will. 2441 02:13:35.880 --> 02:13:39.439 Never I said, I will never ever ever, even if 2442 02:13:39.439 --> 02:13:42.680 I least, I will never ever ever pay over over 2443 02:13:42.840 --> 02:13:43.920 manufactured MSRP. 2444 02:13:44.279 --> 02:13:44.479 Never. 2445 02:13:44.800 --> 02:13:48.680 I mean I don't even like paying MSRP. But how 2446 02:13:48.760 --> 02:13:50.800 much they make on an MSRP. I don't know on 2447 02:13:50.880 --> 02:13:53.239 that one. I know on some you know, you have 2448 02:13:54.000 --> 02:13:56.560 a certain amount you make and then you make on 2449 02:13:56.720 --> 02:14:01.279 top of that, you make a dealer holdback at the 2450 02:14:01.319 --> 02:14:06.880 end of the year for some manufacturers, So I I 2451 02:14:07.000 --> 02:14:11.760 wonder how much they make on a what do you think. 2452 02:14:14.279 --> 02:14:16.920 It's got to be based on, you know, similar dealerships. 2453 02:14:16.960 --> 02:14:20.000 I don't imagine. It's a whole different platform. But yeah, 2454 02:14:20.039 --> 02:14:23.560 but that's that's crazy, that kind of a markup. Still, Yeah, 2455 02:14:24.680 --> 02:14:25.199 I didn't. 2456 02:14:25.039 --> 02:14:28.960 Know, not not just creat it's it's undoable. But yet 2457 02:14:29.000 --> 02:14:30.840 there are people every day willing to do it. That's 2458 02:14:30.880 --> 02:14:31.399 why they do it. 2459 02:14:31.520 --> 02:14:33.880 Why they do it? Yep, because they can. 2460 02:14:34.079 --> 02:14:41.319 I mean, okay, yeah, yeah, So I'm asking right now. 2461 02:14:41.439 --> 02:14:43.600 I just put it in there how much profit is 2462 02:14:43.680 --> 02:14:47.600 built in on an MSRP. And of course they'll never 2463 02:14:47.720 --> 02:14:51.439 answer this. They'll never hold on a twenty twenty. Okay, 2464 02:14:51.840 --> 02:14:56.159 here's the ms RP on A twenty twenty five. What 2465 02:14:56.279 --> 02:14:59.520 do you think it is? It's with it without the 2466 02:14:59.600 --> 02:15:04.359 bump one the dealer. The dealer buys it. The dealer 2467 02:15:04.479 --> 02:15:08.279 buys it for one hundred and forty thousand dollars from 2468 02:15:08.720 --> 02:15:16.800 the manufacturer. They the MSRP is one forty eight, two fifty, 2469 02:15:16.920 --> 02:15:20.680 so they're gonna make eight thousand, two hundred and fifty 2470 02:15:20.720 --> 02:15:24.119 bucks on that car if they sold it for that. 2471 02:15:24.399 --> 02:15:27.720 They will never sell it for that. So, first of all, 2472 02:15:27.840 --> 02:15:31.680 the the MSRP might be one forty eight, you will 2473 02:15:31.760 --> 02:15:34.960 never even see that car a twenty twenty five for 2474 02:15:35.119 --> 02:15:37.119 less than one seventy five. 2475 02:15:37.880 --> 02:15:41.760 Yeah, looking online, one seventy five five one ninety. 2476 02:15:43.079 --> 02:15:46.439 That's right, yep. So so that that's how much water 2477 02:15:46.560 --> 02:15:49.720 there is in those things, and that's ridiculous. The only 2478 02:15:49.800 --> 02:15:53.880 one they're selling an MSRP, in fact, they'll go behind 2479 02:15:54.039 --> 02:15:56.880 seventy five hundred is the electric one. And I have 2480 02:15:56.960 --> 02:16:01.680 a feeling that's because it's a real gamble to take 2481 02:16:01.840 --> 02:16:05.920 a conventional car like that and do nothing about it. 2482 02:16:06.560 --> 02:16:09.159 You don't make it lighter, you don't make it different, 2483 02:16:09.640 --> 02:16:13.199 you don't make it more aerodynamic. You simply slap batteries 2484 02:16:13.279 --> 02:16:16.720 under it and motors on the wheels, and you call it. 2485 02:16:16.920 --> 02:16:18.960 And by the way, you would think that would give 2486 02:16:19.000 --> 02:16:22.279 you room in the front. Absolutely not. There is no 2487 02:16:22.720 --> 02:16:28.399 There is no fronk on that thing. There's the same 2488 02:16:28.479 --> 02:16:31.000 old storage that I don't know what they're doing with 2489 02:16:31.119 --> 02:16:33.840 all that space where the engine would be. I don't 2490 02:16:33.879 --> 02:16:37.319 know what they're doing with it, but it's completely shrouded, 2491 02:16:37.559 --> 02:16:40.159 covered up, and you can't get to it. So you 2492 02:16:40.280 --> 02:16:44.760 open the hood, you see nothing but plastic. There's nothing 2493 02:16:44.840 --> 02:16:48.280 a service, but you can't see it.
