But 27 00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:43.519 today is car Day and we like to emphasize cars. 28 00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:47.120 And I do have some texts that I've saved, and 29 00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:51.159 this is one that goes back. What I mean by 30 00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:53.319 goes back is it's not the first time we've had 31 00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:56.280 this question. But somebody asked me this. They heard me 32 00:01:56.359 --> 00:01:59.799 talking about leasing a car for the first time. I 33 00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:02.640 because I don't put on that many miles and I'm 34 00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:06.239 pretty easy on cars now, and maybe I'm a candidate 35 00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:09.639 for a lease and I don't have to put out 36 00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:13.719 all that capitals. Somebody said, okay, Tom, what is if 37 00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:18.439 you had to pick it, I'm asking Mark, I'm asking Sues, 38 00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:24.520 I'm asking your car people and your deputies. Notice they 39 00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:27.120 left Shannon o't thank goodness because Shannon does no crap. 40 00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:32.120 But if you were to pick the best, if you 41 00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:34.479 were to pick the best all around car and you 42 00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:36.680 had to have one, now, you don't get to have 43 00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:38.439 a sports car. You don't get to have an SUV 44 00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:41.199 and a pickup. You have to have one all around vehicle. 45 00:02:41.639 --> 00:02:48.520 What would it be model X plaid all the way 46 00:02:48.520 --> 00:02:53.560 around if I couldn't have a sports car. Yeah, okay, 47 00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:56.240 model x pled. That's a good answer. Actually, you know, 48 00:02:56.800 --> 00:02:59.159 I haven't taken the electric plunge, but I plan on it. 49 00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:01.599 I mean, I just think it's the way to go. 50 00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:04.560 And there's so much less maintenance. I mean, I don't 51 00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:07.479 want to take business out of Kevin's pocket, but so 52 00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:10.919 much less business and now more sensors are not only 53 00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:13.759 telling me that I have low tires all the time 54 00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:16.240 and they change and I have to I have to 55 00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:19.280 hit okay, okay, okay, and it says call roadside no, 56 00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:22.840 you know, contact the service center or your car will 57 00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:25.599 be whatever disabled in so many miles. 58 00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:26.560 Now, now guess what. 59 00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:30.000 Now I'm getting one saying my brake pads are dangerously low, 60 00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:33.919 pull over and qualitat that funny it is, but you. 61 00:03:33.960 --> 00:03:36.240 Still get that with an EV just because you don't 62 00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:36.800 have an engine. 63 00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:39.759 Now hold on, I'm my brake pads at twenty nine. 64 00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:43.759 No, No, I don't really make Kevin disable his car 65 00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:46.919 if they didn't, if he didn't bring it to the dealership, 66 00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:49.000 does I swear to God he sent me or or 67 00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:51.520 make an alternate or make an alternate. 68 00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:53.560 Arrangement about heart cell Dad. 69 00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:55.919 Can you imagine like being at a restaurant, Like if 70 00:03:55.960 --> 00:03:58.319 you don't order off that menu, we're gonna kick you 71 00:03:58.400 --> 00:03:58.919 in the face. 72 00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:03.000 So here's what I want to know. 73 00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:05.639 We were talking about the best all around car, but 74 00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:08.360 well I got off on a tangent, and that is 75 00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:11.680 why are they telling me my breaks? Since my break 76 00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:15.240 pads are low, it breaks perfectly. I mean, you know 77 00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:18.000 I'm not pushing it, but could my brakes be that bad? 78 00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:20.399 They're pushing a censor at twenty nine thousand, So he's 79 00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:24.319 got that SUV Kevin, it's a heavier one X twenty three. 80 00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:27.959 I do you think it's even possible? 81 00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:30.839 You got to be pretty heavy on the pedal twenty six, That's. 82 00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:32.879 What I said.

YEP, never needed breaks BMW. 85 00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:42.360 The brakes are oversized already, so I mean they're compensated 86 00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:43.319 for the size of that car. 87 00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:44.600 So well, what are you going to do if you 88 00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:48.120 find out Tom that you have seventy five plus percent 89 00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:49.759 left on those brakes. 90 00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:53.519 Oh I know, I'm well. Kevin's gonna check it out. 91 00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:55.519 I just haven't had a chance to get over to him. 92 00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:56.120 I have so much. 93 00:04:56.639 --> 00:04:58.560 You know, the sensor itself a heat defective. 94 00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:03.560 You know, breaks are fine, know, I hate sensors.

We 96 00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:07.639 had to look at our car. 97 00:05:07.839 --> 00:05:10.399 Not long ago, there was a little metal tab and 98 00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:12.600 then yeah, and then the tab would hit the rotor 99 00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:14.160 in boom, it's time to get pads. 100 00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:21.319 Yeah, old school, so things side great metal. Now my 101 00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:23.920 car did squeak a little At one time. I was 102 00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:26.720 hearing some squeaking and then it went away. I thought 103 00:05:26.759 --> 00:05:29.480 it was a dirty rotor or something. Yeah, it could 104 00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:30.720 be just road dirty, because that. 105 00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:34.120 Squeak be indicative of of the rotor of the pad. 106 00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:36.759 No, just a little hot spot and then it wore past. 107 00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:38.000 It's normal. 108 00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:40.199 Okay. 109 00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:43.000 I'm really not heavy on breaks in cars anymore, like 110 00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:45.920 it used to be. Zero three seven, one three eight 111 00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:48.480 two five five. Okay, I decided what my ultimate car. 112 00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:51.399 Okay, hold on, let me say.

But three oh three seven one three 220 00:11:08.559 --> 00:11:10.600 eight two five five. Now you don't have to call 221 00:11:10.799 --> 00:11:12.799 just about cars. But today's car day. Alan wants to 222 00:11:12.799 --> 00:11:15.360 talk about hybrids. Now, my personal opinion, I just want 223 00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:16.919 to say this upfront. I know people get tired of 224 00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:19.720 hearing my personal opinions, but here's what it is. I 225 00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:22.240 love electric cars and I love regular cars. I don't 226 00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:25.320 like hybrids. It's a very simple theory I have. If 227 00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:27.279 you're going to go through the trouble of an electric 228 00:11:27.360 --> 00:11:30.519 car and converting and doing the charging, then have an 229 00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:35.759 electric car. You have one system to maintain the electric system, right, 230 00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:37.840 and then of course the normal stuff. But you don't 231 00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:40.000 have tranees or any of that. Once you get over 232 00:11:40.120 --> 00:11:43.120 to a hybrid car, you have two systems to worry about. 233 00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:47.039 Now, all of the electric and all of the normal crap. Alan, 234 00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:47.879 what is your question? 235 00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:53.440 Yeah, so My question is about hybrid's not a plug 236 00:11:53.559 --> 00:11:58.360 in hybrid, but a regular hybrid. And there's any degradation 237 00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:02.960 of the battery life. For someone uses a car on 238 00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:06.080 low miling, like three or four thousand miles a year, 239 00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:10.200 that's going to affect how the charging system works and 240 00:12:10.320 --> 00:12:13.159 how the battery maintains charge. 241 00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:18.960 You know, it used to be when you topped off 242 00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:22.279 batteries and used just a little, it did have a degradation. 243 00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:23.600 But what do you think, keV? 244 00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:26.440 Yeah, I agree, it's not near as what it was 245 00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:30.120 even ten years ago. But now I think it will 246 00:12:30.279 --> 00:12:32.639 affect it a little, but not to the extent that 247 00:12:32.799 --> 00:12:33.559 he's afraid of. 248 00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:33.840 Now. 249 00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:36.000 Mark will tell you this. Mark will tell you this. 250 00:12:36.720 --> 00:12:39.279 I have a Tesla only because it's my son's right, 251 00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:42.919 it's not mine. But Mark, my son says when he 252 00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:45.399 knows he's not driving a lot, he doesn't charge it 253 00:12:45.519 --> 00:12:46.440 up every single night. 254 00:12:47.879 --> 00:12:51.200 Yeah, I mean that's fine. I mean a lot of 255 00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:52.159 people do it that way. 256 00:12:53.720 --> 00:12:56.320 No, because he said he only charges when he gets 257 00:12:56.360 --> 00:12:57.399 below sixty percent. 258 00:12:57.799 --> 00:12:58.480 How do you feel that? 259 00:12:58.600 --> 00:12:58.720 Then? 260 00:12:59.679 --> 00:13:02.080 I kind of used to plugging it in, so I'm 261 00:13:02.159 --> 00:13:04.840 always at eighty percent, I mean always at eight. 262 00:13:04.960 --> 00:13:07.480 But it doesn't hurt anything doing that. Mark, what your 263 00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:10.000 son's doing? No, because I'm sure he's charging it like 264 00:13:10.159 --> 00:13:11.000 at least once. 265 00:13:10.840 --> 00:13:13.000 A week, right, Yeah, he's not letting it go over 266 00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:13.480 of course. 267 00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:15.919 Yeah, No, I don't think that's a problem at all. 268 00:13:17.360 --> 00:13:21.039 Can you set chargers, Mark? Can you set chargers to 269 00:13:21.159 --> 00:13:25.440 only go on and off at certain times? There's chargers 270 00:13:25.600 --> 00:13:30.039 you can buy that do that the Tesla. I'm not sure. 271 00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:32.879 I'd be shocked if they don't have that in the app, 272 00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:34.559 and they might have it in the app. Well, you 273 00:13:34.639 --> 00:13:37.159 can set it. You can set it for how high 274 00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:40.080 it goes, whether it charges to eighty ninety or olia 275 00:13:40.240 --> 00:13:41.080 write that on the fly. 276 00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:43.639 Yet the only time you charge at Tesla outside of 277 00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:45.879 eighty is if you're going on a long trip. 278 00:13:47.320 --> 00:13:50.600 Now, Alan, here's what I want to ask you. Just 279 00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:54.720 on an aside and listen, you're only gonna basically AI 280 00:13:54.919 --> 00:13:59.240 overview is yeah. Absolutely, a hybrid car is not driven regularly. 281 00:13:59.559 --> 00:14:02.279 It's bad sat ory can eventually die due to a 282 00:14:02.360 --> 00:14:06.960 process right self discharge. Right Now, here's what I'm asking you, Allan, 283 00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:09.960 why wouldn't you go with a straight EV if you're 284 00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:11.759 only going to do a few thousand a year. 285 00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:13.159 Why do you want a hybrid? 286 00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:18.919 Well, I'm asking you about specifically a non plug in hybride. 287 00:14:21.200 --> 00:14:21.399 Why. 288 00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:24.840 I don't want to write and I'm wondering why. What 289 00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:27.399 is your reasoning? I'm just curious what is your reasoning 290 00:14:27.519 --> 00:14:27.720 on that? 291 00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:32.279 Because I'm a long trips when I drives the vehicle, 292 00:14:32.679 --> 00:14:33.120 so do why? 293 00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:33.399 Man? 294 00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:36.679 My models has no problem, brother, no problem at all. 295 00:14:38.399 --> 00:14:40.279 How long are you charging that? A stop? 296 00:14:41.399 --> 00:14:42.840 I'd say, if I. 297 00:14:42.919 --> 00:14:45.440 Go from here to Omaha, I'm going to give you 298 00:14:45.559 --> 00:14:47.120 one that's somewhat of what we've done. 299 00:14:47.679 --> 00:14:48.039 What is that? 300 00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:50.000 Eight hours? Seven hours? I forget? 301 00:14:50.919 --> 00:14:54.840 We stop three times each time, we charge for about 302 00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:55.639 seven minutes. 303 00:14:57.360 --> 00:14:57.679 That's it? 304 00:14:57.919 --> 00:14:57.960 What? 305 00:14:58.440 --> 00:14:58.720 Mark? 306 00:14:58.919 --> 00:14:58.960 What? 307 00:15:00.200 --> 00:15:00.399 Yeah? 308 00:15:00.480 --> 00:15:04.320 The superchargers. Now, remember if you buy a different car 309 00:15:04.440 --> 00:15:07.240 that you can't supercharge. That's why I tell you, Tom, 310 00:15:07.279 --> 00:15:09.480 you want a Tesla right now? I don't care. I 311 00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:12.440 know there's a million other ones out there. Doc loves his, 312 00:15:12.840 --> 00:15:14.519 but his Hondi and I love Hondai. 313 00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:14.960 You know that. 314 00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:16.399 But the only thing that. 315 00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:19.879 Supercharge is that fast is a Tesla. The only thing 316 00:15:19.960 --> 00:15:22.960 that has full self driving is a Tesla. No other 317 00:15:23.039 --> 00:15:24.240 electric has that stuff. 318 00:15:24.320 --> 00:15:24.639 Right now? 319 00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:31.799 Okay, so Alan again, is there a reason you would 320 00:15:31.879 --> 00:15:36.320 not go full electric, Well, I'm just in. 321 00:15:36.480 --> 00:15:40.080 Favor of the Toyota Grand Highlanders that are coming out. 322 00:15:40.600 --> 00:15:41.360 That's kind of what. 323 00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:45.120 I'm Oh, they're beautiful, They're beautiful, beautiful vehicles. 324 00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:46.879 It's hard to go on. 325 00:15:47.440 --> 00:15:51.600 What about just stay resales always there or what about 326 00:15:51.759 --> 00:15:53.919 staying with just a good gasoline car? 327 00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:54.679 Have you thought of that. 328 00:15:56.440 --> 00:16:03.559 Thought? The difference between gas or a hybrid? Yeah, I mean, 329 00:16:04.039 --> 00:16:05.879 but so the battery. 330 00:16:06.440 --> 00:16:09.120 You know, I'm surprised Tesla never went for a hybrid 331 00:16:09.159 --> 00:16:11.320 of some kind in any joke. 332 00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:13.879 I don't like hybrids at all. We had a little 333 00:16:13.919 --> 00:16:16.200 Sonata that was a hybrid. What is the best hybrid? 334 00:16:16.559 --> 00:16:17.720 What is the best hybrid? 335 00:16:17.879 --> 00:16:20.679 Probably the most popular is the pre well, the Prius, Yeah, 336 00:16:20.679 --> 00:16:21.840 by far, Toyota yep. 337 00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:25.480 Is What a difference between a hybrid and a plug 338 00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:26.080 in hybrid? 339 00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:26.360 Oh? 340 00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:27.000 Yeah, yeah. 341 00:16:27.080 --> 00:16:29.840 One gets like forty to fifty miles without the engine 342 00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:30.320 kicking on. 343 00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:31.960 The other gets like maybe. 344 00:16:31.799 --> 00:16:34.799 Five and the other one charges as you're driving. Yeah, 345 00:16:35.080 --> 00:16:37.360 that's the that's the biggest advantage. But if you don't 346 00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:39.519 have a plug like apartment living or something like that, 347 00:16:39.679 --> 00:16:41.440 A lot of people go for the hybrids because you 348 00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:42.519 can't plug it in it night. 349 00:16:42.600 --> 00:16:44.840 Okay, if I didn't have somebody else, tell me what 350 00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:49.240 is what are the new genesis they call electrified GV 351 00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:50.600 seventies What are they? 352 00:16:50.960 --> 00:16:56.440 Are they electric? Or are they hybrid? Or are they electric? Wow? 353 00:16:57.080 --> 00:17:01.600 Are you they're beautiful? Yeah? We have a GV eighty 354 00:17:01.679 --> 00:17:03.240 and we love it, but it's gas. 355 00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:05.400 That's got a mark. 356 00:17:05.799 --> 00:17:08.359 Here have you looked at the GV seventy electric? 357 00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:11.240 Here's where we go again. First of all, to me, 358 00:17:11.400 --> 00:17:13.720 i'd never get it. It doesn't have self driving. But 359 00:17:13.880 --> 00:17:16.519 more importantly, it's only got a range of two hundred 360 00:17:16.519 --> 00:17:17.279 and thirty six. 361 00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:20.400 That trip I was talking about that we took three 362 00:17:20.519 --> 00:17:24.759 stops five to seven minutes. You'd be talking probably six 363 00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:28.920 seven stops, and you'd be there for fifteen. 364 00:17:28.559 --> 00:17:30.960 To twenty five minutes a time. I mean, you would 365 00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:32.839 add four hours onto your journey. 366 00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:36.519 May I ask something? You keep talking about this the 367 00:17:36.640 --> 00:17:40.839 full drive whatever? Why is that so important to you? 368 00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:42.799 Because I use it all the time? Man, I use 369 00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:44.680 it this morn Well, Well tell me tell me what 370 00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:47.240 you mean by that.

Of course, I don't know why, what 435 00:20:49.920 --> 00:20:53.839 dastardly deed he's up to, But I have a story 436 00:20:53.880 --> 00:20:57.119 to tell and I don't even understand it, and maybe 437 00:20:57.240 --> 00:20:58.400 people can figure it out. 438 00:21:01.039 --> 00:21:04.519 I hate door locks. I hate keys. I lose keys. 439 00:21:04.880 --> 00:21:07.039 Or what's worse than losing a key is I have 440 00:21:07.119 --> 00:21:09.480 a key ring with keys, I have no idea where 441 00:21:09.480 --> 00:21:11.880 they go. Now, I've been carrying them for years, and 442 00:21:11.920 --> 00:21:13.640 I look at them and say, what's this key for? 443 00:21:14.079 --> 00:21:19.079 And I try everything. The only way the only way you'll. 444 00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:21.519 Ever find out what that key is for is if 445 00:21:21.559 --> 00:21:27.480 you throw it away, and then sure is crap you'll 446 00:21:27.559 --> 00:21:32.519 need it. But I'm done with keys, right. I would 447 00:21:32.640 --> 00:21:36.559 like a car with a keyless entry. You know, Oh, 448 00:21:36.599 --> 00:21:38.359 I have the key fob, right, But I'm talking about 449 00:21:38.440 --> 00:21:42.680 like with the combination. Anyway, on my hangar, I have 450 00:21:42.920 --> 00:21:47.799 a combination lock. And by the way, if you want 451 00:21:47.799 --> 00:21:50.319 to know what the number is is, I'm very I 452 00:21:50.519 --> 00:21:53.440 know people expect one, two, three, four five. 453 00:21:54.200 --> 00:21:54.960 No, I don't do that. 454 00:21:55.119 --> 00:21:57.119 I do five four three two one to trick them. 455 00:21:57.160 --> 00:22:03.359 So anyway, I bought a new lock from my front door, 456 00:22:05.319 --> 00:22:10.960 and it's made in China. I realize that. 457 00:22:11.480 --> 00:22:13.839 I just I looked at it. It's so cool. 458 00:22:14.279 --> 00:22:18.240 It takes a fingerprint or a code, and it wants 459 00:22:18.279 --> 00:22:20.839 to go to your WiFi in your house. 460 00:22:20.920 --> 00:22:23.519 It's a smart lock, but it's made in China. 461 00:22:24.720 --> 00:22:27.319 Well, Dmitri, who I think is a little more paranoid 462 00:22:27.359 --> 00:22:30.720 than the average person, he calls it more sensible and 463 00:22:30.920 --> 00:22:36.000 more aware. He says, Tom, you wouldn't believe what certain 464 00:22:36.279 --> 00:22:40.039 smart devices want to know. And I said, Dimitri, I 465 00:22:40.160 --> 00:22:44.319 have to admit my lock that I'm installing is made 466 00:22:44.400 --> 00:22:44.839 in China. 467 00:22:45.680 --> 00:22:47.799 What do you think? He says, I won't use it? 468 00:22:48.200 --> 00:22:51.039 And I said, Dimitri, I was gonna program it because 469 00:22:51.039 --> 00:22:52.799 he comes here every morning, and I was going to 470 00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:54.720 program it for your fingerprint. He said, I won't put 471 00:22:54.759 --> 00:22:57.440 my fingerprint on that. He said, they're going to keep it, 472 00:22:57.519 --> 00:22:59.279 They're going to do something with it. And I said, 473 00:22:59.359 --> 00:23:04.720 you really believe that the Chinese are gonna through the 474 00:23:04.799 --> 00:23:08.440 internet take my data off that lock and use it. 475 00:23:09.279 --> 00:23:12.480 He says absolutely. Now I look further. 476 00:23:12.400 --> 00:23:17.359 Into that lock and I don't want to say OMG, 477 00:23:17.680 --> 00:23:22.759 but OMG. I looked at the small print Mark. Why 478 00:23:22.839 --> 00:23:27.079 would a front door lock listen to this want access 479 00:23:28.119 --> 00:23:31.640 to all of your photos, your contacts? 480 00:23:34.279 --> 00:23:37.640 Why to have the data? Why does that's exactly? Why 481 00:23:38.920 --> 00:23:40.640 just to have the data they want? Now, this is 482 00:23:40.680 --> 00:23:43.759 a lot on your front door, that's every app you have. 483 00:23:46.200 --> 00:23:49.480 Why is everyone collecting everything? 484 00:23:50.000 --> 00:23:51.759 Because they want to know about us, to know what 485 00:23:51.880 --> 00:23:55.640 we buy and had to pitch to us. Do you okay? 486 00:23:55.720 --> 00:23:59.200 So you think it's for commercial reasons, not nefarious reasons. 487 00:23:58.960 --> 00:24:02.079 Well, of course, I mean Shlade is not going to 488 00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:05.920 try any d break into your house from them. 489 00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:09.720 What do you think the play is d Oh, well. 490 00:24:09.640 --> 00:24:11.960 That's pretty easy. I think it's more nefarious than what 491 00:24:12.119 --> 00:24:14.240 Mark says. What do you think a black company is 492 00:24:14.279 --> 00:24:17.240 going to market to you. But you know, the Chinese 493 00:24:17.400 --> 00:24:21.480 have a long and sordid history of blackmail. And if 494 00:24:21.519 --> 00:24:25.160 they feel that they can benefit by accessing somebody's photos 495 00:24:25.240 --> 00:24:27.319 and looking for illegal images. 496 00:24:27.640 --> 00:24:30.079 That you know, illegal images?

The horsepower six fifty five? 743 00:36:40.159 --> 00:36:43.840 Yeah, Tesla is like one thousand and sixty. Yeah, but 744 00:36:44.519 --> 00:36:46.840 that's true. And I just want to say something. There 745 00:36:46.960 --> 00:36:48.920 is a little more to it than raw horsepower. There's 746 00:36:49.000 --> 00:36:52.440 weight to horsepower ratios. But I imagine Tesla's as light 747 00:36:52.480 --> 00:36:54.960 as a as light as a corvette. 748 00:36:54.519 --> 00:36:56.960 Anyway, But okay, what is the quarter mile? 749 00:36:58.039 --> 00:36:58.159 Uh? 750 00:36:58.280 --> 00:37:01.519 Let me look, I don't know Tesla plaid quarter hold on? 751 00:37:02.280 --> 00:37:03.000 What is it on that? 752 00:37:03.159 --> 00:37:06.320 Here's what the here's what the Corvette is the e 753 00:37:06.519 --> 00:37:10.000 Ray ten point five seconds? Uh? 754 00:37:10.199 --> 00:37:12.920 This one, well, this one is eight point five. 755 00:37:14.639 --> 00:37:20.239 Eight point five, so eight point five by that time. Well, 756 00:37:20.440 --> 00:37:25.039 also you can time it by by mark. Uh but 757 00:37:25.159 --> 00:37:27.679 I'm I'm not going to get into that detail. But yeah, 758 00:37:27.960 --> 00:37:29.559 Mark's about good for eight seconds and. 759 00:37:29.639 --> 00:37:32.760 Then so you'll figure. 760 00:37:33.960 --> 00:37:38.639 Yeah, so you figure, you figure the the Corvette's ten 761 00:37:38.719 --> 00:37:41.519 point five on a quarter mile. You can knit a sweater, 762 00:37:42.639 --> 00:37:46.679 so I don't I don't understand. But anyway, let's go 763 00:37:46.840 --> 00:37:47.440 back to the phone. 764 00:37:47.519 --> 00:37:51.159 Share hold on one second. I want to say this man, 765 00:37:51.760 --> 00:37:53.159 the roadsure that's. 766 00:37:53.000 --> 00:37:58.079 Coming out, they're talking under one second, zero to sixty. 767 00:37:58.159 --> 00:38:01.440 What blows me away by that is the Lamborghini that's 768 00:38:01.519 --> 00:38:04.400 coming out and all these other top end ones they 769 00:38:04.519 --> 00:38:05.360 can't even touch. 770 00:38:05.440 --> 00:38:06.679 That isn't that amazing? 771 00:38:08.639 --> 00:38:10.840 But do you think it's true? I mean under one 772 00:38:10.960 --> 00:38:13.079 second that sounds like a crowd rocket. 773 00:38:13.199 --> 00:38:14.800 I don't know what they're now. I don't even think 774 00:38:14.840 --> 00:38:18.400 there's motorcycles. I mean there might be those Jennis or something. 775 00:38:19.320 --> 00:38:21.760 Yeah, you know those crotch rockets will beat a car 776 00:38:21.920 --> 00:38:23.480 every time. There's nothing faster. 777 00:38:23.960 --> 00:38:25.239 He thinks, I'm gonna look that up. 778 00:38:25.320 --> 00:38:31.199 That's curious. I think they are. Hey, So here's the deal, Jared. 779 00:38:31.760 --> 00:38:34.159 You started to tell us your wife applied for FMLA, 780 00:38:34.559 --> 00:38:37.960 which is a family leave to go to get some 781 00:38:38.119 --> 00:38:43.199 therapy and treatment, and then they switched her to a 782 00:38:43.280 --> 00:38:45.719 new position the day after. Now I'm not sure what 783 00:38:45.920 --> 00:38:48.519 you're why you even told us that, and how that 784 00:38:48.599 --> 00:38:49.199 plays into it. 785 00:38:49.320 --> 00:38:50.239 So finish your story. 786 00:38:51.400 --> 00:38:51.679 Okay. 787 00:38:51.880 --> 00:38:54.800 So that's that's just the precursor to the story basically, 788 00:38:54.880 --> 00:38:57.519 because the rest of the story comes from there. So 789 00:38:57.679 --> 00:39:00.239 the original job she was in had weekly duty that 790 00:39:00.320 --> 00:39:01.440 had to be done by the end of the week. 791 00:39:01.559 --> 00:39:03.440 She knew how to do it was able to complete it. 792 00:39:03.559 --> 00:39:04.320 The new job they. 793 00:39:04.280 --> 00:39:10.280 Switched her into required daily contact and customer interactions and 794 00:39:10.519 --> 00:39:13.360 had daily deadlines, which there was no way she was 795 00:39:13.440 --> 00:39:17.039 ever going to be able to meet because she wasn't 796 00:39:17.079 --> 00:39:19.000 going to be there one to two days a week 797 00:39:19.039 --> 00:39:19.480 at work. 798 00:39:20.800 --> 00:39:24.559 On top of that, But Jared, this is where I'm confused. 799 00:39:24.760 --> 00:39:27.639 This is where I'm confused. The whole idea of a 800 00:39:27.719 --> 00:39:30.920 family leave is you're gone. So what difference does it 801 00:39:31.039 --> 00:39:33.719 make if there were five minute updates, one day. 802 00:39:33.639 --> 00:39:37.000 Updates, or weekly updates. If you're gone, you're gone. 803 00:39:37.559 --> 00:39:40.239 Are you telling me that with this company, when you're 804 00:39:40.280 --> 00:39:42.079 on family leave, you still have to work. 805 00:39:43.679 --> 00:39:47.400 That's essentially what they were saying. So after two years 806 00:39:47.480 --> 00:39:51.079 of this, my wife finally went into mediation with the 807 00:39:51.199 --> 00:39:53.840 government and the media. 808 00:39:53.840 --> 00:39:57.559 I don't know, okay, Kevin helped me out here. And 809 00:39:58.119 --> 00:40:01.719 there's a hold on man, this is Jared hold on 810 00:40:02.840 --> 00:40:05.000 family Leave Act. I'm looking at it. 811 00:40:05.239 --> 00:40:09.360 You leave work, you don't work part time, you don't 812 00:40:09.559 --> 00:40:11.719 so Kevin, what is he talking about? 813 00:40:12.559 --> 00:40:14.039 You leave but you still work. 814 00:40:14.320 --> 00:40:16.800 He's talking on a federal level. I'm not sure because 815 00:40:16.840 --> 00:40:18.559 I'm only familiar with the colors noun. 816 00:40:18.679 --> 00:40:22.360 I looked it up. There is no way federal family 817 00:40:22.440 --> 00:40:22.960 leave where you. 818 00:40:23.039 --> 00:40:23.599 Work, Shunk. 819 00:40:24.840 --> 00:40:27.119 You don't have to take it in a block, Shunk. 820 00:40:27.920 --> 00:40:31.599 You can take FMLA. And she said, I'm going to 821 00:40:31.920 --> 00:40:35.840 every Wednesday. I have doctors and counselors and whatever appointments. 822 00:40:35.960 --> 00:40:41.679 So every wed I'm going, Oh, use my SMLA. So 823 00:40:41.920 --> 00:40:43.960 one day, oh week me. 824 00:40:44.079 --> 00:40:47.840 You can actually spot check FMLA. You can take a 825 00:40:47.920 --> 00:40:52.079 couple of days every week for FMLA correct up. 826 00:40:52.000 --> 00:40:53.119 To twelve weeks a year. 827 00:40:54.800 --> 00:40:57.599 I didn't know that that would be so disruptively a 828 00:40:57.719 --> 00:41:02.079 company twelve weeks off or it works where you can 829 00:41:02.239 --> 00:41:05.079 take individual days here and there. 830 00:41:05.199 --> 00:41:08.280 That's horrible. I just think it back when I was 831 00:41:08.360 --> 00:41:09.199 running a company. 832 00:41:09.320 --> 00:41:11.519 My god, if I had like someone at the front 833 00:41:11.599 --> 00:41:14.199 counter that wanted to take off Monday. 834 00:41:13.920 --> 00:41:17.599 And Friday, it would complete. I'd get him another job too. 835 00:41:19.199 --> 00:41:20.559 Let's hear the end of the story. 836 00:41:20.760 --> 00:41:22.599 I don't even know what's going on the job that 837 00:41:22.719 --> 00:41:23.159 she was in. 838 00:41:23.400 --> 00:41:27.039 She was able to, you know, Doc, Jocky Doc. Of 839 00:41:27.119 --> 00:41:28.639 course we're gonna hear the end of the story. 840 00:41:28.880 --> 00:41:31.199 But whether you like it or not, Doc, there are 841 00:41:31.320 --> 00:41:34.440 there is information he's giving that did not make sense. 842 00:41:34.760 --> 00:41:37.400 And that's why I'm comparing it. And I'm not gonna 843 00:41:37.400 --> 00:41:40.639 wait till the end of the story to clarify things, 844 00:41:40.920 --> 00:41:43.800 because that's not how people think. After doing the show 845 00:41:43.880 --> 00:41:47.119 for forty five years, people think day by day, minute 846 00:41:47.119 --> 00:41:50.599 by minute, one two, three four. They don't go one, two, three, four, 847 00:41:50.760 --> 00:41:53.280 five six, and then we go back to one. So 848 00:41:53.400 --> 00:41:55.599 what I try to do is get the story in 849 00:41:55.920 --> 00:41:58.079 order when they say it. If you want to do 850 00:41:58.159 --> 00:42:01.079 it another way, have fun. Now listen, here's what I 851 00:42:01.199 --> 00:42:01.559 need to know. 852 00:42:02.159 --> 00:42:02.440 Okay. 853 00:42:03.000 --> 00:42:06.920 They she put in for family leave to have one 854 00:42:07.039 --> 00:42:08.519 day a week off or two days. 855 00:42:10.960 --> 00:42:11.000 It. 856 00:42:12.199 --> 00:42:15.280 At first it was one and then eventually her parents 857 00:42:15.400 --> 00:42:16.119 moved in with us. 858 00:42:16.239 --> 00:42:18.159 They got six, so she was taking. 859 00:42:18.880 --> 00:42:21.079 Medical lead to take care of her parents right before 860 00:42:21.119 --> 00:42:27.920 they died, as well as using the FMLA, and it 861 00:42:28.239 --> 00:42:31.000 was one to two days. There were times where she 862 00:42:31.159 --> 00:42:34.880 was out a week. I totally agree with you. I 863 00:42:34.960 --> 00:42:37.360 run a business myself and some of the laws that 864 00:42:37.440 --> 00:42:39.880 have put in place are not set up for employers. 865 00:42:41.159 --> 00:42:44.599 But guess what, she's allowed to do it. According to 866 00:42:44.679 --> 00:42:48.840 the fine trendity, she's allowed to do it. She's allowed 867 00:42:48.920 --> 00:42:53.360 to schedule one or two days a week to use 868 00:42:53.440 --> 00:42:56.679 up her time. She can schedule one day every other week. 869 00:42:57.159 --> 00:43:01.719 By the way, it does not require point employer approval 870 00:43:02.159 --> 00:43:06.320 it okay. And it can even be unplanned if something 871 00:43:06.440 --> 00:43:09.079 comes up that is health related. 872 00:43:09.519 --> 00:43:09.840 Okay. 873 00:43:11.000 --> 00:43:14.920 So really basically what they're saying is the worker can 874 00:43:14.960 --> 00:43:15.800 do anything they want. 875 00:43:18.400 --> 00:43:18.599 Yeah. 876 00:43:18.800 --> 00:43:22.320 Almost, Well, then how did she get fired? 877 00:43:23.719 --> 00:43:26.440 She's not fired yet they're in the process. They've been 878 00:43:26.679 --> 00:43:31.800 documenting her and writing her up to fire her basically, 879 00:43:32.000 --> 00:43:35.159 which has caused I mean, she had to be hospitalized 880 00:43:35.159 --> 00:43:39.440 in April of this year for mental health issues. She 881 00:43:39.559 --> 00:43:42.360 was hospitalized for almost a week, got out of the hospital, 882 00:43:42.960 --> 00:43:45.159 wasn't able to work on Monday, went back to work 883 00:43:45.199 --> 00:43:49.880 on Tuesday. They expected her to get everything caught up 884 00:43:49.960 --> 00:43:54.400 for when she was out on medical leaves and FMLA stuff. 885 00:43:55.679 --> 00:43:57.320 She was able to get it caught up, so they 886 00:43:57.440 --> 00:44:00.400 came back and wrote her up for work she wasn't 887 00:44:00.400 --> 00:44:03.360 able to complete on time in April. They wrote her 888 00:44:03.440 --> 00:44:07.599 up in September for that. Yeah, I mean, there's just 889 00:44:07.679 --> 00:44:10.440 there's a myriad of things like that. After she went 890 00:44:10.559 --> 00:44:15.599 through mediation this November with the government. In the mediation, 891 00:44:16.480 --> 00:44:19.639 even though her boss knows she's been out for you know, 892 00:44:19.800 --> 00:44:22.559 dealing with stress and anxiety to depths in the family 893 00:44:22.639 --> 00:44:27.840 within six hours of each other of her parents, he 894 00:44:28.000 --> 00:44:30.639 sat there in the mediation and just said, well, I 895 00:44:30.719 --> 00:44:32.039 think Linda can get the work done. 896 00:44:32.119 --> 00:44:33.199 She's just not motivated. 897 00:44:33.199 --> 00:44:35.079 If Linda was motivated, she'd be able. 898 00:44:34.920 --> 00:44:35.239 To do this. 899 00:44:35.960 --> 00:44:38.480 So they think she's Jared. 900 00:44:39.400 --> 00:44:46.239 Jared according to the law they can take intermittent family leave, 901 00:44:47.079 --> 00:44:52.199 but they must be able to fulfill the requirements of 902 00:44:52.320 --> 00:44:54.920 the position or they can change the position. 903 00:44:55.719 --> 00:45:01.840 Now agains ask for a position change and they won't 904 00:45:01.960 --> 00:45:02.360 change her. 905 00:45:02.960 --> 00:45:06.039 So what do they say. Do they say they're going 906 00:45:06.119 --> 00:45:08.119 to terminate her or they're. 907 00:45:07.960 --> 00:45:11.079 Going to do what half they're on they're looking to you. 908 00:45:11.719 --> 00:45:16.119 Now, I'm not sure. I'm really not sure they can 909 00:45:16.199 --> 00:45:18.559 do that, but I think they can. I think. I mean, 910 00:45:18.639 --> 00:45:22.559 I don't know, because what there's you know what I wonder? 911 00:45:22.800 --> 00:45:26.320 So as soon if we have an attorney quick? Yes? 912 00:45:27.360 --> 00:45:27.519 When? 913 00:45:27.800 --> 00:45:27.960 When? 914 00:45:28.639 --> 00:45:30.840 So she went through this thing with the mediator. So 915 00:45:30.960 --> 00:45:33.280 with her boss, she does work for the federal government, 916 00:45:33.400 --> 00:45:37.360 So with her boss, mediators from the federal government.

What's going on? 997 00:50:03.320 --> 00:50:08.199 I have a twenty sixteen dodge Ram twenty five hundred 998 00:50:08.559 --> 00:50:12.159 trying to get the backup camera to work. Looked at 999 00:50:12.239 --> 00:50:16.039 a few videos. They tell you to take the wiring 1000 00:50:16.199 --> 00:50:20.880 harness off and spray the connections, put some grease in there. Tried, 1001 00:50:20.960 --> 00:50:24.840 that didn't work. I replaced the small wiring harness to 1002 00:50:25.000 --> 00:50:30.519 the camera and the automatic hellgate lock. That did not work. 1003 00:50:32.119 --> 00:50:35.960 Someone said it's the radio. When it comes up on 1004 00:50:36.079 --> 00:50:41.480 the radio, it says camera system unavailable as a black screen, 1005 00:50:42.719 --> 00:50:45.719 So I just say radio in it. It still doesn't work. 1006 00:50:46.320 --> 00:50:47.000 Any ideas? 1007 00:50:47.480 --> 00:50:50.559 Hey, Tim, I want to ask you something. How did 1008 00:50:50.599 --> 00:50:53.320 it go out? Was it just not working one day? 1009 00:50:54.840 --> 00:50:58.000 Just not working one day, just one. 1010 00:50:57.960 --> 00:50:59.320 Day not working? Okay? 1011 00:51:00.119 --> 00:51:02.239 When it was working right up to the point it 1012 00:51:02.360 --> 00:51:05.280 did not work, was it blurry or any other any 1013 00:51:05.440 --> 00:51:06.280 glitches at all? 1014 00:51:07.679 --> 00:51:07.719 No? 1015 00:51:09.559 --> 00:51:10.880 Okay? What do you think, Kevin? 1016 00:51:11.159 --> 00:51:14.079 Well? Any kind of work done? Any body work? Any 1017 00:51:14.159 --> 00:51:15.320 accidents anything at all? 1018 00:51:16.880 --> 00:51:16.920 No? 1019 00:51:17.360 --> 00:51:19.679 No, it's been a great truck. 1020 00:51:19.880 --> 00:51:23.599 Sure, yeah, because there's I mean, they do have harness problems. 1021 00:51:23.679 --> 00:51:23.840 You know. 1022 00:51:23.920 --> 00:51:26.320 That short harness you replaced is very common that would 1023 00:51:26.320 --> 00:51:27.079 have been the first thing. 1024 00:51:27.480 --> 00:51:30.280 But you also sounds like he did everything well. 1025 00:51:30.360 --> 00:51:32.760 You also have the harness for the haven tom where 1026 00:51:32.800 --> 00:51:34.039 the tailgate pivot there. 1027 00:51:34.920 --> 00:51:38.239 Yeah, there's another harness. It's a longer harness that goes 1028 00:51:38.440 --> 00:51:42.159 in to the tailgate and then goes into the bed exactly. 1029 00:51:43.679 --> 00:51:46.840 And I was saying about replacing that, and then someone said. 1030 00:51:46.880 --> 00:51:51.159 Now what about the cam itself? Yeah, what about the camera? 1031 00:51:51.360 --> 00:51:54.800 My next that's my next step. It's four hundred and 1032 00:51:54.880 --> 00:51:58.960 twenty five dollars, which, hey, if it works, that's fine, 1033 00:51:59.079 --> 00:52:01.119 but I didn't really want to buy it unless I 1034 00:52:01.280 --> 00:52:05.079 know I got a ninety chance of it working. 1035 00:52:05.719 --> 00:52:08.760 Well, you just get one with a ram truck that 1036 00:52:08.920 --> 00:52:11.039 we could swap the camera and see. 1037 00:52:11.400 --> 00:52:14.480 But you can check for powers and grounds without you know, 1038 00:52:14.639 --> 00:52:17.960 swapping all the parts because that's getting expensive. Uh, you 1039 00:52:18.079 --> 00:52:20.639 know there should be wiring diagrams are pretty easy to 1040 00:52:20.679 --> 00:52:21.119 find on that. 1041 00:52:23.320 --> 00:52:23.480 Yeah. 1042 00:52:23.800 --> 00:52:26.599 Could it be something something as simple as the ground. 1043 00:52:26.559 --> 00:52:27.880 Yes, very very likely. 1044 00:52:29.000 --> 00:52:29.159 You know. 1045 00:52:29.280 --> 00:52:31.519 That's why I said, you could a locking tailgate on 1046 00:52:31.639 --> 00:52:35.599 it and it works fine with the fob, so I 1047 00:52:35.679 --> 00:52:38.599 think it would, and it goes into the same harness. 1048 00:52:38.960 --> 00:52:41.440 But any harness that moves like in the door jams 1049 00:52:41.559 --> 00:52:44.920 or the tailgates or anything is prone to breaking or separating. 1050 00:52:45.559 --> 00:52:48.800 That's why you need to just physically trace that down. 1051 00:52:48.880 --> 00:52:50.599 You could just use an own meter on each end 1052 00:52:50.639 --> 00:52:53.320 of the plug and check very simply. This is a 1053 00:52:53.440 --> 00:52:56.360 ten dollars oh meter that you have continuity in that harness. 1054 00:52:57.559 --> 00:53:00.599 That's where I would start is in that longer harness 1055 00:53:00.679 --> 00:53:02.000 from the tailgate to the bed. 1056 00:53:03.639 --> 00:53:07.480 Right, So maybe make the camera your last resort. 1057 00:53:07.760 --> 00:53:12.039 Yes, yep, right, because it's not seeing a signal, that's 1058 00:53:12.039 --> 00:53:13.119 why it's getting the message. 1059 00:53:14.320 --> 00:53:16.400 And that's what I thought that, you know, so that's 1060 00:53:16.440 --> 00:53:19.119 why he started with the harness. Sure, but you know 1061 00:53:19.320 --> 00:53:22.039 all the other wires go through the harnesses working the 1062 00:53:22.119 --> 00:53:25.119 tailgate right, all the locking tailgate. 1063 00:53:24.800 --> 00:53:25.159 But it does. 1064 00:53:25.599 --> 00:53:27.320 They're not all the same though, I mean there is 1065 00:53:27.480 --> 00:53:30.519 part some work with some work, you know, some are separate. 1066 00:53:31.199 --> 00:53:33.840 So but again, anytime a harness moves and bends like 1067 00:53:33.920 --> 00:53:35.760 in the tailgate is where they're prone to break. 1068 00:53:37.079 --> 00:53:41.320 Yeah, all right, I'll try to longer harness. 1069 00:53:41.280 --> 00:53:43.679 And like I said, just use an ometer, just check 1070 00:53:43.760 --> 00:53:45.320 the continuity from one end to the other. 1071 00:53:46.079 --> 00:53:47.920 Well, let's put it this way. After you do that 1072 00:53:48.039 --> 00:53:50.239 the only thing left is the camera pretty much. 1073 00:53:50.360 --> 00:53:56.039 Yeah exactly, I mean, I mean, you know green ninety five. 1074 00:53:58.400 --> 00:54:00.440 Hey, how important is that back up to you? 1075 00:54:01.760 --> 00:54:04.119 It is because I have a topper on it, and 1076 00:54:04.239 --> 00:54:07.760 when you're backing up, it's hard to see, you know. 1077 00:54:08.000 --> 00:54:12.440 I have I have learned to depend on these things 1078 00:54:13.760 --> 00:54:17.159 and it's amazing to me how much you miss them 1079 00:54:17.199 --> 00:54:19.840 when they're not there.

So can you Mark, 1224 01:01:46.920 --> 01:01:50.039 look at any event, I mean, if your car's parked 1225 01:01:50.599 --> 01:01:53.800 at iHeart there, like, could you see, for example, if 1226 01:01:53.840 --> 01:01:55.320 someone like me crayoned it. 1227 01:01:55.800 --> 01:01:57.599 Oh my god, you don't even got to touch it. 1228 01:01:57.719 --> 01:02:00.480 If they even walk by it or get to it, 1229 01:02:00.559 --> 01:02:02.960 it creates a century event. And then you just hit 1230 01:02:03.039 --> 01:02:03.920 the button and watch it. 1231 01:02:03.960 --> 01:02:07.719 On the screen. Does it keep it in a loop? Yeah, 1232 01:02:07.840 --> 01:02:11.760 so eventually it's gone absolutely. Okay. 1233 01:02:12.800 --> 01:02:14.880 Wow, that would have helped me years ago when I 1234 01:02:14.960 --> 01:02:17.440 had an idiot, I don't want to mention his name, 1235 01:02:18.400 --> 01:02:21.599 hired people to wrap my avalanche.

Well not on the radio. I made 1246 01:02:47.960 --> 01:02:48.679 it fun fun. 1247 01:02:48.760 --> 01:02:51.679 But here's what I was unhappy about it was kind 1248 01:02:51.679 --> 01:02:54.639 of suggestive about a woman or something in big boobs 1249 01:02:54.719 --> 01:02:55.880 or something like that. 1250 01:02:56.400 --> 01:02:57.079 I remember it. 1251 01:02:57.199 --> 01:03:01.320 Come on, I remember one day though you here, you 1252 01:03:01.440 --> 01:03:03.960 started the show.

Why normally I wouldn't check my car 1261 01:03:34.519 --> 01:03:37.119 till the end of the show, but for some reason. 1262 01:03:36.920 --> 01:03:38.679 I had to go down and get some meds or something. 1263 01:03:39.960 --> 01:03:43.039 Remember that, Yeah, you had like normally, how did. 1264 01:03:42.960 --> 01:03:45.840 You expect when you did that joke, which was brilliant? 1265 01:03:46.519 --> 01:03:48.559 Did you think I was going to discover it at 1266 01:03:48.599 --> 01:03:50.639 the end of the show.

I was in a 1909 01:37:11.520 --> 01:37:13.880 baptism again and I think I don't know that's what. 1910 01:37:13.920 --> 01:37:16.079 It's three months old, but at two years old is 1911 01:37:16.119 --> 01:37:18.680 when it won the contest. It was all over and 1912 01:37:18.760 --> 01:37:20.800 it was it was in their newspaper. They came out 1913 01:37:20.800 --> 01:37:23.600 and took pictures. It was in their insert and so 1914 01:37:23.720 --> 01:37:28.039 it's very documented. I'm not just but yeah, it's what 1915 01:37:28.239 --> 01:37:31.239 it says. It's not the picture itself. There's a lot 1916 01:37:31.279 --> 01:37:32.520 of beautiful pictures out there. 1917 01:37:33.399 --> 01:37:33.920 I get it. 1918 01:37:34.079 --> 01:37:37.840 What it says, it's day's mother love, the hope of 1919 01:37:37.880 --> 01:37:43.920 the future. So in Denver, fifteen sixteen years it was 1920 01:37:44.119 --> 01:37:47.279 used as a mother's day thing. A friend of mine 1921 01:37:47.359 --> 01:37:48.039 took it and used it. 1922 01:37:48.199 --> 01:37:49.960 I'm glad, I'll tell you that. 1923 01:37:51.239 --> 01:37:51.880 Well, there you go. 1924 01:37:52.199 --> 01:37:55.800 Anyway, I don't understand, I don't hold on this is 1925 01:37:56.000 --> 01:37:56.960 this is a really. 1926 01:38:00.359 --> 01:38:03.319 Well he's from Cincinnati that I thought I'd go that way, 1927 01:38:03.399 --> 01:38:06.720 but that didn't work. But anyway, it would be a 1928 01:38:06.880 --> 01:38:10.039 campaign that he puts out there uses a picture in 1929 01:38:10.079 --> 01:38:13.880 the history of it that it's today's mother love is 1930 01:38:13.960 --> 01:38:16.560 the hope of the future. I think that would really 1931 01:38:16.640 --> 01:38:22.279 resonate with a lot of women so anti abortion. 1932 01:38:22.479 --> 01:38:23.520 Loved it because. 1933 01:38:25.039 --> 01:38:27.880 But anyway that it has some history to it. It's 1934 01:38:27.920 --> 01:38:29.039 not just a pretty picture. 1935 01:38:29.119 --> 01:38:29.560 I like it. 1936 01:38:29.680 --> 01:38:32.239 I like the idea. Tom.

I don't know how to do that, 1941 01:38:44.199 --> 01:38:45.920 but I'll get my friend to do it. I mean, 1942 01:38:45.960 --> 01:38:48.720 I'm technologically stupid. I don't care about it.

He's been on the show. 2151 01:49:32.399 --> 01:49:32.720 They might. 2152 01:49:32.880 --> 01:49:36.279 I think they buy stuff left and right. I think 2153 01:49:36.359 --> 01:49:39.840 she's gonna be I think if she she's I think 2154 01:49:39.920 --> 01:49:44.399 she can break even. Oh yeah, try cousins in the Springs. 2155 01:49:45.600 --> 01:49:48.199 I think I think she can break even on this. 2156 01:49:48.600 --> 01:49:48.920 I think. 2157 01:49:49.199 --> 01:49:51.279 But whatever you do and what I do, here's the 2158 01:49:51.399 --> 01:49:54.680 here's the only here's the only thing that really puzzles me. 2159 01:49:55.119 --> 01:49:57.119 And and I should let it puzzle me, but it does. 2160 01:49:57.760 --> 01:50:00.680 How you were equating selling it to re and and 2161 01:50:01.439 --> 01:50:04.359 I don't how. I don't see how a REFI could 2162 01:50:04.399 --> 01:50:07.760 benefit you. Were you talking about pulling cash out of 2163 01:50:07.840 --> 01:50:09.319 it or getting a lower payment? 2164 01:50:11.079 --> 01:50:11.800 Lower payment? 2165 01:50:13.199 --> 01:50:16.039 Okay, so you thought if I have to keep it, 2166 01:50:16.279 --> 01:50:18.039 at least I can have a lower payment. 2167 01:50:19.279 --> 01:50:21.279 Now I've got an idea for you. 2168 01:50:21.439 --> 01:50:25.359 It's a little outside the box, but that unit would 2169 01:50:25.520 --> 01:50:29.760 qualify for it because of the price range. That there's 2170 01:50:29.800 --> 01:50:33.920 a place called rv easy, and then there's some other ones, 2171 01:50:34.039 --> 01:50:37.119 but RV share, r v easy you rent it. 2172 01:50:37.159 --> 01:50:41.560 Out having I know Mark, but that's a terrible thing. 2173 01:50:42.000 --> 01:50:43.720 But yeah, you never know what. 2174 01:50:45.760 --> 01:50:46.039 Listen. 2175 01:50:46.159 --> 01:50:50.039 I'm just saying, that's another opportunity, okay. 2176 01:50:50.199 --> 01:50:53.439 And she owes like she owes seventy grand I would 2177 01:50:53.680 --> 01:50:59.600 never expose myself to that. Now, whatever happened to the 2178 01:50:59.640 --> 01:51:04.239 woman with the thank you Anne, with the renter's insurance 2179 01:51:04.319 --> 01:51:06.840 claim forty five thousand losses? 2180 01:51:07.479 --> 01:51:08.079 She hung up. 2181 01:51:11.520 --> 01:51:14.560 I was gonna help her, but okay, let's go back 2182 01:51:14.600 --> 01:51:20.560 to Connie. Connie called and wanted to talk about an 2183 01:51:20.760 --> 01:51:23.720 iconic picture and posters she was part of back in 2184 01:51:23.800 --> 01:51:26.319 the day, she wanted to donate to Trump, and while 2185 01:51:26.399 --> 01:51:30.039 she was speaking to us, she said that she felt like, 2186 01:51:30.439 --> 01:51:32.439 you know, if he or anyone ever wanted to do 2187 01:51:32.560 --> 01:51:34.760 something kind for her, she could use a protection dog. 2188 01:51:35.520 --> 01:51:37.920 And I asked, do you mean emotional support of protection? 2189 01:51:38.079 --> 01:51:41.119 And she said, no protection. And one of the reasons 2190 01:51:41.399 --> 01:51:45.119 was she said she was abused for a while, and 2191 01:51:45.239 --> 01:51:48.520 that concerns me. She's eighty years old and she still 2192 01:51:48.600 --> 01:51:51.039 feels a little insecure, and I want to know why, Connie. 2193 01:51:51.680 --> 01:51:53.600 How long ago was this abuse? 2194 01:51:56.000 --> 01:51:58.840 Almost forty years. It was a husband. I ran, got 2195 01:51:58.880 --> 01:52:01.720 to Colorado Springs. That's the story, and that's as far 2196 01:52:01.760 --> 01:52:03.319 as I'm going to go. That was I made some 2197 01:52:03.439 --> 01:52:06.479 really bad decisions and it's still affecting my life to 2198 01:52:06.600 --> 01:52:09.800 this day. But I had a bad summer. But that's 2199 01:52:09.880 --> 01:52:12.039 not why I'm calling. We can go into that. That's 2200 01:52:12.039 --> 01:52:14.199 the service dog part. I should have ever mentioned it. 2201 01:52:14.920 --> 01:52:17.359 I have one. I'm trying to train a last. 2202 01:52:17.199 --> 01:52:21.119 Man, Connie. Connie, thank you for your answer, Connie, thank 2203 01:52:21.199 --> 01:52:23.359 you for your answer. Put her back on hold. Thank you. 2204 01:52:24.039 --> 01:52:27.319 I look at I can't do this, Okay, I really 2205 01:52:27.399 --> 01:52:29.279 can't do this, So why don't we just try to 2206 01:52:29.319 --> 01:52:31.560 take care of it off the air. I just I 2207 01:52:31.680 --> 01:52:34.640 wanted to if this was an abuse forty years ago. 2208 01:52:34.720 --> 01:52:36.800 I just need to know if she doesn't want to 2209 01:52:36.840 --> 01:52:40.520 protection dog, fine, Okay, maybe you know. I'm very by 2210 01:52:40.560 --> 01:52:42.600 the way alerted when older. 2211 01:52:42.439 --> 01:52:46.159 People or wives, especially when they're talking about. 2212 01:52:45.960 --> 01:52:49.479 Feeling unsafe or something and they need help. I just 2213 01:52:49.560 --> 01:52:52.399 wanted to explore that if she's not in danger and 2214 01:52:52.560 --> 01:52:54.279 having some emotional problems, I get it. 2215 01:52:54.520 --> 01:52:55.000 I get it. 2216 01:52:57.359 --> 01:53:01.600 The immediate concern. Though she's not in trouble. She doesn't 2217 01:53:01.600 --> 01:53:05.920 feel unsafe right now, that's fine. So if she would 2218 01:53:06.000 --> 01:53:08.079 just like someone to talk to, I get that as well. 2219 01:53:09.159 --> 01:53:12.560 But try to find out if there's something we can 2220 01:53:12.600 --> 01:53:15.479 do for her today. Is it to get this picture donated. 2221 01:53:16.319 --> 01:53:19.840 We could probably figure out a contact for her if 2222 01:53:19.880 --> 01:53:24.359 what she wants to do is donate this picture. Three 2223 01:53:24.479 --> 01:53:27.960 zero three seven one three talk seven one three eight 2224 01:53:28.039 --> 01:53:32.560 two five five. Peter, you have a comment on RVs, 2225 01:53:32.640 --> 01:53:33.479 Go ahead, Peter. 2226 01:53:35.439 --> 01:53:38.119 Yes, yes, Tom, I was in the trade for a 2227 01:53:38.199 --> 01:53:42.880 while selling RVs, and uh, just a word of advice. 2228 01:53:42.960 --> 01:53:45.319 If that woman goes back to that place, she's gonna 2229 01:53:45.319 --> 01:53:48.760 have to bring money with her, because we call RV's 2230 01:53:48.880 --> 01:53:53.920 rum vacations, not recreational vehicles. I can't tell you how 2231 01:53:53.960 --> 01:53:56.319 many people have bought RVs and a year or two 2232 01:53:56.439 --> 01:53:58.720 later they brought them back. I love mine, and it 2233 01:53:58.840 --> 01:53:59.960 cost them a lot of the money. 2234 01:54:00.439 --> 01:54:01.760 I absolutely love it. 2235 01:54:01.880 --> 01:54:05.159 Hey, well, okay, I don't, Peter, I don't think it's 2236 01:54:05.239 --> 01:54:09.119 pretty wild. I don't think you can just generalize ruined vacations. 2237 01:54:09.600 --> 01:54:10.800 I call them. 2238 01:54:12.159 --> 01:54:14.880 Because you do everything on your own time. I mean 2239 01:54:15.159 --> 01:54:19.119 you say people would take them back. Probably they paid 2240 01:54:19.199 --> 01:54:21.479 too much and they didn't think it through. 2241 01:54:22.000 --> 01:54:26.680 Well, a lot of couples have gotten divorces after two 2242 01:54:26.760 --> 01:54:27.960 or three years on the road. 2243 01:54:30.000 --> 01:54:33.319 Okay, but that doesn't have much to do with our vs. 2244 01:54:35.479 --> 01:54:38.039 Oh yes it does. We would always tell them, Tom, 2245 01:54:38.119 --> 01:54:39.880 if you ever decided to get rid of it, come 2246 01:54:39.920 --> 01:54:40.720 back and see us. 2247 01:54:42.359 --> 01:54:49.319 Okay, we meet all kinds of great people and ours. 2248 01:54:49.439 --> 01:54:49.600 Man. 2249 01:54:50.239 --> 01:54:52.840 So are you saying, Peter, that there's a lot of 2250 01:54:52.920 --> 01:54:54.920 buyer's remorse in the RV business? 2251 01:54:56.800 --> 01:54:57.439 Absolutely? 2252 01:54:58.239 --> 01:55:01.479 Yeah, we use ours at least i'd say twelve weeks 2253 01:55:01.520 --> 01:55:04.840 out of a year, usually one long trip of four 2254 01:55:04.920 --> 01:55:05.520 or five weeks. 2255 01:55:06.199 --> 01:55:07.319 Harry, we better watch out. 2256 01:55:07.840 --> 01:55:08.039 Yeah. 2257 01:55:10.199 --> 01:55:12.319 I'm like cars better than most hotels. 2258 01:55:14.479 --> 01:55:17.079 Well, absolutely, that's they are. But there's a lot of 2259 01:55:17.239 --> 01:55:19.640 when you get two people in a small confined space 2260 01:55:20.199 --> 01:55:20.720 like an RV. 2261 01:55:21.760 --> 01:55:24.760 My god, Susanna and I have lived together and worked together. 2262 01:55:24.920 --> 01:55:30.079 We're attached by the hip for thirty three years. Hold on, Mark, 2263 01:55:30.159 --> 01:55:31.880 I think he's talking about most people. 2264 01:55:32.840 --> 01:55:37.760 But Peter and Zanne don't have a typical RV. They 2265 01:55:37.800 --> 01:55:40.640 have a beautiful, very expensive Peter. 2266 01:55:41.159 --> 01:55:44.119 But but it's still it's still a relatively small place 2267 01:55:44.199 --> 01:55:47.800 compared to you know, I know what he's saying. Peter, Listen, 2268 01:55:48.359 --> 01:55:51.920 I think you're generalizing based on the bad experiences you've encountered. 2269 01:55:51.960 --> 01:55:54.600 I mean, there are plenty of people. You're right. 2270 01:55:54.800 --> 01:55:57.399 I mean there are people who will never be right 2271 01:55:57.520 --> 01:56:01.520 for the RV style never ever ever, I mean seriously, 2272 01:56:02.000 --> 01:56:03.239 and they appreciate it. 2273 01:56:03.359 --> 01:56:05.920 I'd never buy a new one ever again. But they 2274 01:56:06.079 --> 01:56:08.640 depreciate like a tesla basically. 2275 01:56:10.479 --> 01:56:10.720 Yeah. 2276 01:56:11.199 --> 01:56:13.960 But you know, here's the deal, Peter, I think you're right. 2277 01:56:14.520 --> 01:56:15.039 It takes it. 2278 01:56:15.439 --> 01:56:19.960 It takes special people, special couples, to get used to 2279 01:56:20.079 --> 01:56:23.119 the R and B. Especially what's that I said you 2280 01:56:23.279 --> 01:56:27.119 loved yours absolutely absolutely. 2281 01:56:27.399 --> 01:56:33.399 I can literally work anywhere in the country at any time, 2282 01:56:34.359 --> 01:56:37.039 anywhere in it, anywhere. It doesn't matter. If time's like, 2283 01:56:37.119 --> 01:56:39.600 hey I've got I got to do something, boom boom boom. 2284 01:56:39.920 --> 01:56:42.199 It takes me about one and a half minutes to 2285 01:56:42.279 --> 01:56:44.880 set up my star link. If it's already not set up, 2286 01:56:45.119 --> 01:56:47.960 I can pull over in a Walmart parking lot and 2287 01:56:48.119 --> 01:56:51.119 do the show. So, I mean, we love that ability. 2288 01:56:53.119 --> 01:56:55.880 I used to love so much going places and stuff. 2289 01:56:56.239 --> 01:56:59.279 And look my current situation. I don't think it would work. 2290 01:57:00.840 --> 01:57:02.479 She will remain nameless, but my. 2291 01:57:04.000 --> 01:57:04.720 She could could. 2292 01:57:05.560 --> 01:57:06.640 I mean she could. 2293 01:57:08.920 --> 01:57:10.840 Well see that part we'd never have to worry about. 2294 01:57:10.880 --> 01:57:14.520 But here's the point, she breaks out in a rash off. 2295 01:57:14.560 --> 01:57:16.600 We're ten minutes away from a porcelain toilet. 2296 01:57:16.680 --> 01:57:18.760 So I mean, it's like we we have. 2297 01:57:18.880 --> 01:57:22.720 To be with luxurious, not luxurious. She's not spoiled that way. 2298 01:57:22.760 --> 01:57:26.359 But I don't think camping. And I know she calls 2299 01:57:26.399 --> 01:57:28.600 it camping. I said, honey, this is not camping. 2300 01:57:29.199 --> 01:57:32.760 This is like a freaking it's a beautiful suite, but 2301 01:57:32.920 --> 01:57:33.920 she doesn't look at it that. 2302 01:57:34.119 --> 01:57:36.880 God, we've got some people that were in like a 2303 01:57:37.000 --> 01:57:39.479 sixty five TV in every room. 2304 01:57:39.640 --> 01:57:43.359 Mark Mark I had a pravo, for God's sakes, that 2305 01:57:43.560 --> 01:57:47.159 that that stars by and she thought it was roughing. 2306 01:57:48.279 --> 01:57:50.840 At that country.

But in any case, 2350 02:00:16.279 --> 02:00:20.079 here's another one. Tom, the guy calling about r VS 2351 02:00:20.239 --> 02:00:25.319 is totally right. People are going wild on each other 2352 02:00:25.560 --> 02:00:27.199 all the time at campgrounds. 2353 02:00:27.760 --> 02:00:33.079 It's the sight of violence. You've got that. Oh my gosh. 2354 02:00:33.319 --> 02:00:38.000 Yeah, I have never found that. I found people in 2355 02:00:38.119 --> 02:00:41.039 such good moods. I've never found a grump. 2356 02:00:40.840 --> 02:00:43.479 Ever, have you Guys? Most people are so. 2357 02:00:45.000 --> 02:00:49.079 Some of the greatest people, you know. I know full timers. 2358 02:00:49.600 --> 02:00:52.760 Full timers can be a little strange. Here's two different kinds. 2359 02:00:52.560 --> 02:00:53.319 Of full timers. 2360 02:00:53.600 --> 02:00:56.439 There's some that are they're out there maybe six seven 2361 02:00:56.479 --> 02:00:58.520 months out of the year, but they've got a beautiful 2362 02:00:58.600 --> 02:01:00.680 house somewhere for the time. 2363 02:01:00.800 --> 02:01:01.000 Yeah. 2364 02:01:01.079 --> 02:01:05.399 Then there's the ones that are legitimately full timers. And 2365 02:01:05.640 --> 02:01:08.119 some of those folks don't seem as happy. I will 2366 02:01:08.159 --> 02:01:08.479 say that. 2367 02:01:09.920 --> 02:01:13.359 You mean the ones where they made the movies like 2368 02:01:13.760 --> 02:01:16.560 that one they made a movie about like they're crazy people. 2369 02:01:16.720 --> 02:01:19.920 And then they when they stop, they they don't just 2370 02:01:20.000 --> 02:01:22.119 stand once budd either. And then when they stop, you 2371 02:01:22.199 --> 02:01:25.319 know that some of them sell wares and it's they're 2372 02:01:25.399 --> 02:01:26.079 like gypsies. 2373 02:01:26.119 --> 02:01:27.680 I don't know if I can use that anymore. 2374 02:01:27.720 --> 02:01:32.520 That I was told that's ethnically insulting to somebody, and 2375 02:01:33.039 --> 02:01:36.880 I could be canceled for using the term gypsies. But 2376 02:01:37.119 --> 02:01:41.640 in any case, uh, people we used to call people 2377 02:01:41.800 --> 02:01:43.159 formerly known as gypsies. 2378 02:01:43.439 --> 02:01:49.680 I can I can use that people experiencing gypsiness, you're 2379 02:01:49.920 --> 02:01:52.880 experiencing something we would have called gypsies. 2380 02:01:53.199 --> 02:01:53.359 You know. 2381 02:01:53.560 --> 02:01:58.199 It's so in any case, I'm strange full timers, So, uh, 2382 02:01:58.520 --> 02:01:59.319 it's kind of crazy. 2383 02:01:59.359 --> 02:02:00.520 And we were talking to Kevin. 2384 02:02:00.840 --> 02:02:04.399 So generally when Suzanne or I we have certain destinations, 2385 02:02:04.479 --> 02:02:07.039 like we might be going to the Oregon coast and 2386 02:02:07.159 --> 02:02:09.039 we'll stay right on the ocean for a week. 2387 02:02:09.399 --> 02:02:10.680 That's the destination. 2388 02:02:11.239 --> 02:02:14.560 But getting there, we'll still have to stop at like 2389 02:02:14.640 --> 02:02:17.119 a Koa overnight or somewhere where I don't have. 2390 02:02:17.199 --> 02:02:18.399 To drop the car and all that. 2391 02:02:18.920 --> 02:02:22.560 So those places are one thing, But the destinations are 2392 02:02:22.600 --> 02:02:24.279 always beautiful, you know what I'm saying. 2393 02:02:25.479 --> 02:02:29.600 Yes, I mean we've still used in Walmart parking lots 2394 02:02:29.680 --> 02:02:30.880 for my God's sake. Yep. 2395 02:02:32.680 --> 02:02:35.600 In the West Coast, on the West coast up there, northwest, 2396 02:02:36.439 --> 02:02:37.600 have you ever seen was it? 2397 02:02:38.079 --> 02:02:40.840 Canyon Beach was the most beautiful beach I've ever been to. 2398 02:02:41.239 --> 02:02:44.600 I don't think. Then there was another I think you have, 2399 02:02:44.920 --> 02:02:46.960 I think you have. You were up in Oregon, right, 2400 02:02:47.359 --> 02:02:49.319 We stayed at a park in Oregon. 2401 02:02:49.640 --> 02:02:52.800 Literally we would walk out onto this private beach that 2402 02:02:52.960 --> 02:02:57.560 was probably four miles long, and Suzanne, myself and the 2403 02:02:57.680 --> 02:03:01.000 two dogs were basically the only only people on the 2404 02:03:01.079 --> 02:03:02.119 beach every day. 2405 02:03:03.439 --> 02:03:06.680 Yeah, it's Canon Beach, yep, Oregon. And then the other, 2406 02:03:06.880 --> 02:03:08.479 the other one. I don't know if that's what you 2407 02:03:08.560 --> 02:03:11.039 were talking about, but that's where it is. And then 2408 02:03:11.520 --> 02:03:14.239 a moral rock that sounds fun. 2409 02:03:14.319 --> 02:03:17.439 Have you ever heard of there's one in I think 2410 02:03:17.520 --> 02:03:19.359 you've been to this one, the one in Vegas, Las 2411 02:03:19.479 --> 02:03:20.359 Vegas Motor Coach. 2412 02:03:22.000 --> 02:03:25.039 Well that that's like a freaking resort that you know, 2413 02:03:25.159 --> 02:03:27.479 the one where they come out. There's one where they 2414 02:03:27.560 --> 02:03:30.279 come out and inspect your motor home before they let 2415 02:03:30.359 --> 02:03:30.560 you in. 2416 02:03:30.760 --> 02:03:34.199 Almost everyone have cup. Almost everyone have cups. Stay in 2417 02:03:34.359 --> 02:03:36.720 or it's got to be a A class, can't be 2418 02:03:36.800 --> 02:03:40.880 anything else A class. It's got to be ten years 2419 02:03:41.600 --> 02:03:47.600 or less or newer or unless unless it's a certain model, 2420 02:03:47.760 --> 02:03:51.039 like you know, like a Prevost that's fifteen years old, 2421 02:03:51.119 --> 02:03:51.920 it's in good shape. 2422 02:03:51.920 --> 02:03:55.560 They're not going to care about and they make you. 2423 02:03:56.319 --> 02:03:57.960 But but they they come out and they go around. 2424 02:03:58.399 --> 02:03:59.760 They go around it with a clipboard. 2425 02:04:00.920 --> 02:04:04.039 I can you imagine what if a guy comes up 2426 02:04:04.079 --> 02:04:08.039 to you and says, sir, can you use that turnaround? 2427 02:04:08.399 --> 02:04:11.840 Tyger ve time? Well in line a. 2428 02:04:11.920 --> 02:04:14.319 Tiger run where someone was trying to get into there 2429 02:04:14.680 --> 02:04:17.920 with like a thirty five foot unit and they were like, beat. 2430 02:04:17.760 --> 02:04:21.920 It, jack and it was simple as that. Now in 2431 02:04:22.039 --> 02:04:25.000 Canon Beach, that rock is not Moro. There is a 2432 02:04:25.079 --> 02:04:27.600 Moral Beach with a Morral rock. This one is Haystack 2433 02:04:27.720 --> 02:04:32.439 Rock and it looks like a giant haystack on Cannon Beach. 2434 02:04:33.000 --> 02:04:36.399 And some of these places are absolutely beautiful. And then 2435 02:04:36.800 --> 02:04:40.640 we used to take an ferry on the take the 2436 02:04:40.720 --> 02:04:43.439 motor home on a ferry out to the islands. What 2437 02:04:43.600 --> 02:04:45.560 are those islands called off the Northwest? 2438 02:04:45.680 --> 02:04:47.760 But we would go out there and they would have 2439 02:04:47.960 --> 02:04:55.079 RV parks. There was an RV park on the actual island. 2440 02:04:55.479 --> 02:04:59.600 Then they had what was it, oh, where you're listening 2441 02:04:59.600 --> 02:04:59.720 to this. 2442 02:05:00.159 --> 02:05:04.279 Your RV gets parked on deck and becomes part of 2443 02:05:04.359 --> 02:05:07.039 the cruise. It's not like a long cruise like the 2444 02:05:07.119 --> 02:05:10.119 ocean cruises, but it's like these giant river cruises and 2445 02:05:10.239 --> 02:05:12.840 you stay in your RV, but you are on and 2446 02:05:12.960 --> 02:05:17.560 you hook up, but you are on this cruise. And 2447 02:05:17.680 --> 02:05:20.479 then they have another one where you do a train. 2448 02:05:22.439 --> 02:05:25.359 Your RV goes up on a car and I think 2449 02:05:25.399 --> 02:05:28.880 there's a couple two cars to a car, and then 2450 02:05:29.199 --> 02:05:32.439 you can walk between them. You can't walk into people's RVs. 2451 02:05:32.840 --> 02:05:36.479 There's common cars, but then there's r Then your RV 2452 02:05:36.680 --> 02:05:41.520 is where you stay. There's some really creative vacations with 2453 02:05:41.800 --> 02:05:44.840 RVs that people uh have to explore. 2454 02:05:44.840 --> 02:05:47.760 They're crazy, but it's which ice. 2455 02:05:49.920 --> 02:05:49.960 That. 2456 02:05:50.359 --> 02:05:54.840 The biggest downfall of RVs that I have found is 2457 02:05:55.079 --> 02:05:58.199 the time between trips. You know, as you get older, 2458 02:05:58.439 --> 02:06:01.640 obviously that means something right. Some people enjoy the journey 2459 02:06:01.840 --> 02:06:04.520 and the destination. Others just want to get there. If 2460 02:06:04.560 --> 02:06:06.600 you just want to get there, don't do an RV. 2461 02:06:07.159 --> 02:06:10.800 I mean an RV is where when you leave your home, 2462 02:06:11.520 --> 02:06:13.640 you're happy because you're on the way. 2463 02:06:13.960 --> 02:06:15.079 I used to feel that way. 2464 02:06:15.239 --> 02:06:18.560 I never had to get there. The whole journey that 2465 02:06:18.720 --> 02:06:22.159 I planned out was part of the trip. And that's 2466 02:06:22.359 --> 02:06:26.000 the right kind of attitude for an RV. So you're 2467 02:06:26.039 --> 02:06:29.800 not in a hurry ever, and you get the entire hurry. 2468 02:06:30.079 --> 02:06:33.399 It's too big to be in a hurry. Seriously. Yeah, 2469 02:06:33.840 --> 02:06:36.000 well not just in a hurry like speed wise Mark, 2470 02:06:36.079 --> 02:06:38.680 but like psychologically, oh you know, you got to get there, 2471 02:06:38.720 --> 02:06:40.479 got to get there, got to get there. So the 2472 02:06:40.600 --> 02:06:44.119 real deal is enjoying every minute of it. And it 2473 02:06:44.199 --> 02:06:45.720 takes a special person to do that. 2474 02:06:46.359 --> 02:06:46.840 We love it. 2475 02:06:46.960 --> 02:06:49.199 So we're to the point now where I'll only drive 2476 02:06:49.399 --> 02:06:52.800 maybe maybe five hour stops, but four hours. We're going 2477 02:06:52.840 --> 02:06:55.560 to make our way. Probably not this year, we're going. 2478 02:06:55.680 --> 02:06:57.319 If we go, we're going to go somewhere else. But 2479 02:06:58.319 --> 02:06:59.720 I want to do all of Florida. 2480 02:06:59.840 --> 02:07:03.239 You realize, like Key West has some of the most 2481 02:07:03.319 --> 02:07:05.920 beautiful You get a boat slip, you got a full 2482 02:07:06.000 --> 02:07:07.359 outdoor living quarters. 2483 02:07:07.640 --> 02:07:10.359 I mean it's like it's like a true true resort, 2484 02:07:12.439 --> 02:07:13.119 oh for sure. 2485 02:07:13.680 --> 02:07:16.439 And anyway, I think it's one of many vacations. There 2486 02:07:16.479 --> 02:07:20.199 are people who love you know what I always thought. Now, 2487 02:07:20.319 --> 02:07:23.800 now don't think I'm crazy, but I really believed if 2488 02:07:23.840 --> 02:07:26.880 you could cater to kind of fantasy vacations, you know, 2489 02:07:27.000 --> 02:07:29.880 like they did with the cattle rustlers, right, or you know, 2490 02:07:30.119 --> 02:07:31.840 be a cowboy for a week or something like that. 2491 02:07:32.359 --> 02:07:35.640 I thought, Now, listen to this and don't think I'm nuts. 2492 02:07:35.680 --> 02:07:37.479 I'm going to take a break. I want to ask 2493 02:07:37.560 --> 02:07:40.520 you this though. Think about this as a vacation. You 2494 02:07:40.640 --> 02:07:43.880 have a freight train, a fake freight train, and you're 2495 02:07:43.920 --> 02:07:49.279 a hobo and you get to hop a car and 2496 02:07:49.399 --> 02:07:52.000 you can just stay on that car. No, would that 2497 02:07:52.199 --> 02:07:56.680 be like crazy? And it's you get to live the 2498 02:07:56.800 --> 02:07:59.439 life of a hobo for a few days. Is that 2499 02:07:59.520 --> 02:08:03.159 what they call hobos? Is that even acceptable anymore? Who 2500 02:08:03.479 --> 02:08:07.319 whoever knows in a hobo? You think the host could 2501 02:08:07.359 --> 02:08:11.520 be offended by that? So and when you say hobo anyway? 2502 02:08:11.560 --> 02:08:20.000 We got more coming up on the Troubleshooter Show.

And then what does it do? Well? 2644 02:16:17.279 --> 02:16:20.680 If you took aluminum like aluminum dusts are filings and 2645 02:16:21.239 --> 02:16:22.119 steel and put them. 2646 02:16:22.000 --> 02:16:25.039 Together, what would happen thermite? Would it be like differential 2647 02:16:25.079 --> 02:16:26.760 metals having electrolytic ring? 2648 02:16:27.159 --> 02:16:27.199 No? 2649 02:16:27.319 --> 02:16:29.439 No, you still have to ignite it. It's very very 2650 02:16:29.479 --> 02:16:31.640 difficult to ignite it. But when you do, it will 2651 02:16:31.720 --> 02:16:34.680 burn and it will melt through steel ol metro area. 2652 02:16:34.719 --> 02:16:37.719 That's what That's how they do underwater welding. The use thermal. 2653 02:16:38.600 --> 02:16:40.639 That is that what you're talking about, Mark, They. 2654 02:16:40.559 --> 02:16:41.520 Have to have magnesium. 2655 02:16:42.200 --> 02:16:46.600 Why body shops have to have separate areas these different vehicles? 2656 02:16:48.600 --> 02:16:52.280 Really very I had no freaking idea. 2657 02:16:53.319 --> 02:16:56.040 It's very expensive to add a separate area to do 2658 02:16:56.600 --> 02:17:00.639 you know, Audias Fords, anything with aluminum parts, you have 2659 02:17:00.840 --> 02:17:01.840 to keep them separated. 2660 02:17:02.000 --> 02:17:04.440 Here's another thing I want to ask. Isn't it very 2661 02:17:04.639 --> 02:17:09.479 very difficult to to weld aluminum? No, you welled aluminum, 2662 02:17:11.200 --> 02:17:15.600 but I hear it's really I hear it's really difficult because. 2663 02:17:17.920 --> 02:17:20.360 Why I think it's easier to weld aluminum if you're 2664 02:17:20.360 --> 02:17:20.799 set up. 2665 02:17:20.799 --> 02:17:23.559 For it well because the lower temps. 2666 02:17:23.639 --> 02:17:24.440 Yeah, it flows better. 2667 02:17:25.399 --> 02:17:27.479 Yeah, you can use a spool welder. You can do 2668 02:17:27.680 --> 02:17:28.319 tig welding. 2669 02:17:28.719 --> 02:17:31.920 The tig is really cool with illuminuminum. 2670 02:17:34.559 --> 02:17:40.360 In any case aluminum. How many cars have aluminum panels? 2671 02:17:41.479 --> 02:17:48.440 I know, Audi, I know, uh, the Chevrolet Bolt, the 2672 02:17:48.559 --> 02:17:50.440 earlier models had aluminum hoods. 2673 02:17:52.520 --> 02:17:56.479 Aren't more and more cars though going to composites and plastics. 2674 02:17:58.040 --> 02:18:02.079 I don't think so. On the X Terrier, you know 2675 02:18:02.200 --> 02:18:06.559 anxterior there now and the xterior they're you know, steel 2676 02:18:06.680 --> 02:18:11.600 or aluminum. But they'll do composites for reall liners and 2677 02:18:11.680 --> 02:18:12.280 stuff like that. 2678 02:18:12.799 --> 02:18:15.360 Hey, Mark, I have a question for you. If you 2679 02:18:15.559 --> 02:18:19.559 have pure aluminum, pure iron, it won't burn because as 2680 02:18:19.600 --> 02:18:21.559 far as I know, I just looked it up, you 2681 02:18:21.680 --> 02:18:23.680 need an oxide of metal. 2682 02:18:24.079 --> 02:18:24.920 So you would need. 2683 02:18:24.959 --> 02:18:29.600 Iron oxide, magnesium or magnesium oxide because you have to 2684 02:18:29.680 --> 02:18:33.920 have some some source of oxygen. So just iron filings 2685 02:18:34.200 --> 02:18:37.879 and aluminum filings would not have any oxygen to burn. 2686 02:18:39.600 --> 02:18:44.680 Yeah, but if you're grinding, you're using usually an oxide disc. 2687 02:18:45.120 --> 02:18:49.440 Well, but the filings wouldn't have enough oxide just from 2688 02:18:49.799 --> 02:18:52.360 filing it down. It would have to be an iron 2689 02:18:52.360 --> 02:18:54.399 oxide that you're grinding down. 2690 02:18:57.600 --> 02:19:01.799 Yeah, But if you're using an aluminum oxide standing disc, 2691 02:19:03.360 --> 02:19:06.840 you've got inside, you've got oxides in the disk. 2692 02:19:07.920 --> 02:19:10.799 Can I ask you something when you're actually doing the work, 2693 02:19:10.840 --> 02:19:11.760 could it explode? 2694 02:19:11.799 --> 02:19:14.719 It can't, right, Doesn't it have to be ignited pretty heavily? 2695 02:19:15.680 --> 02:19:18.760 I believe so. I just I have a good friend 2696 02:19:18.799 --> 02:19:21.920 who's a body man, and he's commented that in their 2697 02:19:22.000 --> 02:19:24.680 body shop they had to have two separate areas for 2698 02:19:24.840 --> 02:19:29.000 them just because of that that fact. 2699 02:19:31.559 --> 02:19:35.920 Wow, that's that's strange. Well, thank you for that little 2700 02:19:36.000 --> 02:19:40.159 known fact. But I think it's more or less. I mean, 2701 02:19:40.239 --> 02:19:42.479 I understand that they might have to have separate shop 2702 02:19:42.520 --> 02:19:45.239 areas and all of that, but also, when you think 2703 02:19:45.280 --> 02:19:49.840 about it, it's a skill level. Aluminum is more difficult 2704 02:19:50.239 --> 02:19:54.159 to work on than steal and you can't body fill 2705 02:19:54.200 --> 02:19:56.920 it as easy, ken you Kevin, I don't think you 2706 02:19:57.000 --> 02:19:58.159 can use fillers. 2707 02:19:57.760 --> 02:20:01.000 On a limb. Sure, it's a lot of replacement. 2708 02:20:01.520 --> 02:20:03.920 And I was always told, although you just said no, 2709 02:20:04.520 --> 02:20:08.559 I was always told it is much more difficult to weld. 2710 02:20:08.680 --> 02:20:10.159 But you don't think so, No. 2711 02:20:10.319 --> 02:20:12.360 I like welding ILLUMINU. If I had the twos between 2712 02:20:12.399 --> 02:20:17.719 the two, Wow, Yeah, it's just okay. Tow trucks they 2713 02:20:17.760 --> 02:20:20.239 had the aluminum flatbeds are always welding something on them, 2714 02:20:20.879 --> 02:20:24.399 and it's just it's I found them much simpler, you know, 2715 02:20:24.479 --> 02:20:25.280 with the right setup. 2716 02:20:27.280 --> 02:20:31.440 Okay, I want to mention that Sheridan Auto Tech he's 2717 02:20:31.479 --> 02:20:32.280 been our guest today. 2718 02:20:32.319 --> 02:20:33.559 We have such a crazy show. 2719 02:20:33.600 --> 02:20:37.079 But Sheridan Autotech dot com does pre buy inspections on 2720 02:20:37.239 --> 02:20:39.559 used cars and we're always talking about that. 2721 02:20:40.360 --> 02:20:41.360 God, it's well worth it. 2722 02:20:42.239 --> 02:20:44.239 And you can always get Kevin when he's not here 2723 02:20:44.280 --> 02:20:48.920 at three zero three, four five five seventy two forty two. 2724 02:20:49.559 --> 02:20:55.639 That's Sheridan auto tech dot com.
