Car
Dodge Charger
The Dodge Charger is a car made for performance, meaning it’s built to feel quick and powerful when you drive it. It’s a larger, more comfortable car than many sports cars, but it’s still meant to be fun to drive. People talk about it a lot because it has a reputation for strong acceleration and a classic muscle-car style.
Place
Epping in New Hampshire
Epping is in New Hampshire. The host is using it to point to where these racing events happen.
Place
Dragway
A dragway is a straight-line racing track built for drag racing. Cars race side-by-side to see who’s fastest over the track.
Term
top fuel
Top Fuel is drag racing’s extreme “fastest cars” category. The cars launch hard and you often see big flames and hear/feel the power right at the start.
Term
NHRA
NHRA is a big organization that runs and organizes drag racing in the U.S. It helps define the rules and classes for the races.
Term
open pit
An open pit is a pit area where spectators can get close to the action and teams work on cars, rather than being separated by barriers. In this segment, it’s tied to the intense heat and flames the host describes when cars leave the line.
Term
methane
Methane is a type of fuel gas. The host is basically saying the exhaust smell is intense and hard to forget.
Topic
night of fire
“Night of fire” is a nickname for a nighttime racing event where the flames from the cars look really dramatic. The host is describing how cool it is to watch in the dark.
Term
buds
“Buds” are the spring growth from trees. When they fall and stick to a car, they can leave a residue that’s easier to clean if you do it soon.
Term
pollen
Pollen is a sticky dust from trees and plants. If it sits on a car for too long, it can be annoying to clean and may leave marks.
Car
BMW E30
“E30” is a BMW 3 Series from the 1980s. It’s a popular older BMW that a lot of car people like to work on and modify.
Term
OEM rear bumper lower chrome trim
OEM parts are the same kind of parts the car originally came with from the factory. This phrase means they want the correct factory-style chrome trim piece on the lower part of the rear bumper.
Concept
forever project
A “forever project” is a car you keep working on over the years. It’s not a one-and-done project—it keeps turning into the next thing to fix or improve.
Car
Volkswagen Golf
They’re talking about driving a Volkswagen Golf a lot. It’s a common, everyday car that’s easy to maintain and has lots of parts available.
Part
hose clamp removal tool
This is a special tool for taking off and putting on spring-type hose clamps. Instead of wrestling the clamp with pliers, it helps you squeeze it the right way so it comes off cleanly and goes back on correctly.
Term
crimp
To “crimp” means to squeeze a metal connection so it locks tight and usually can’t be undone easily. The speaker is talking about a connection that needs to be crimped to stay secure.
Term
clips
Here, “clips” means small fasteners that hold parts together. The speaker had to take several of them off to do the maintenance work.
Term
hose clamps
Hose clamps are the metal bands you tighten to hold a rubber hose onto a pipe. The speaker is saying they wouldn’t use generic clamps and instead used the proper BMW-style parts.
Term
generating too much heat
If you grind or work metal too aggressively, it can get overheated. Once it cools, it may bend or warp because the metal expanded and contracted unevenly.
Term
warping the metal
Warping the metal means it bends out of shape. In car repair, that can happen if you overheat a panel or part while grinding or working it.
Term
air grinder
An air grinder is a power tool that grinds or smooths metal using compressed air. It needs an air compressor to run properly—if the compressor can’t keep up, the tool slows down or struggles.
Term
compressor
A compressor is what makes the pressurized air that powers air tools. If it’s too small or can’t run continuously, the tool won’t have enough power to work well.
Term
18 volt or 12 volt
Those numbers are the battery voltage for a cordless tool. In general, a higher-voltage battery can provide more power, so the tool can keep working without slowing down.
Term
Millie Wauke
This sounds like the name of a cordless tool brand. The speaker is saying that once they got the right cordless grinder, it worked much better than the air tool because it didn’t require an air compressor.
Term
wet sand
Wet sanding means sanding with water so the sandpaper doesn’t get clogged and the surface stays cooler. People use it to smooth paint or metal before polishing.
Term
dye grinder
A die grinder is a small, fast spinning tool you hold like a drill. Body shops use it to grind or polish metal surfaces to get them smooth for finishing.
Term
electric ratchet
An electric ratchet is like a power version of a ratcheting wrench. It helps you tighten or loosen bolts faster and with less effort.
Term
head swivels
If the head swivels, you can tilt the tool to reach bolts in awkward spots. It makes it easier to work in tight spaces without fighting the tool angle.
Term
air impact
An air impact tool is a compressed-air wrench that hits with bursts of force to loosen tight bolts. Because it can grab and move fast, it can crush fingers or pinch hands if you’re not careful.
Term
half inch drive air tool
That phrase describes the size of the tool’s socket connection. A 1/2-inch drive is a common standard for air impact tools used to tighten or loosen bolts fast.
Term
one person brake bleeder
A one-person brake bleeder is a brake-bleeding tool that lets you bleed brake fluid without a second person. It typically uses a check valve so fluid can move in one direction, preventing air from being pulled back into the brake system.
Term
one way check valve
A one-way valve lets fluid move out one direction, but blocks it from flowing back. That matters when bleeding brakes because you don’t want air to get back into the system.
Term
pneumatic brake bleeder
It’s a device that helps you bleed the brakes faster. Bleeding removes trapped air in the brake fluid so the brakes work properly and the pedal doesn’t feel spongy.
Term
hydraulic clutches
Some cars use fluid pressure to help the clutch work. If air gets into the fluid, the clutch can feel wrong, and you may need to bleed the system to fix it.
Term
Pittsburgh pneumatic brake fluid bleeder
This is a special tool that helps you remove old fluid and air from a car’s brake/clutch hydraulic lines. It can also help keep the fluid level from dropping too low while you bleed.
Term
auto refill kit
This kit helps keep the fluid reservoir topped up while you bleed. That matters because if the reservoir runs low, air can get into the lines and cause problems.
Term
master
The “master” is the main fluid container/pressure source for the hydraulic clutch or brakes. Bleeding often starts there so the whole system gets fresh fluid instead of old, dirty fluid.
Term
reservoir
The reservoir is where the hydraulic fluid sits. When bleeding, you keep an eye on it so the system doesn’t suck in air.
Brand
Volkswagen's
Volkswagen is the car brand being used as an example. The point is that the bleeding method/tool can work on Volkswagen cars with hydraulic clutches.
Term
slave on the firewall
The “slave” is the clutch slave cylinder, a part that uses hydraulic fluid pressure to move the clutch mechanism. It’s often located near the firewall.
Car
964
“964” is a specific generation of the Porsche 911. Here, they’re restoring one and dealing with the clutch system so it works properly.
Term
bleed the clutch
Bleeding the clutch is the process of getting air out of the hydraulic fluid lines. It helps the clutch feel firm and work correctly.
Term
blackest fluid
The fluid in the clutch system can get dirty over time and turn dark. Flushing it until it’s clear helps the clutch work smoothly again.
Term
bleeding their brakes
Bleeding the brakes removes trapped air from the brake fluid system. It makes the brake pedal firm and helps the brakes stop the car reliably.
Term
quarter inch drive socket
It’s a small socket that fits onto a tool with a 1/4-inch square tip. People use it for smaller bolts and nuts, usually in tighter spaces.
Brand
Harbor freight
Harbor Freight is a store that sells tools, usually for less money than many other tool shops. They’re mentioned as the place to buy the wrench being discussed.
Term
Pittsburgh socket drive wrench
It’s a wrench/tool that can accept sockets. The point is that it can work with two common socket sizes, so you don’t need separate tools for everything.
Term
three eighths
They’re talking about the size of the square tip that sockets fit onto—3/8-inch. Different drive sizes mean different sockets and tools.
Term
breaker bar
A breaker bar is a long bar you use to loosen really tight bolts. The long handle gives you more leverage than a normal ratchet.
Term
non-locking swivel head ratchet
It’s a ratcheting wrench with a head that can swivel. If it doesn’t lock, the head can flop around a bit, which can be annoying when you’re trying to tighten or loosen something carefully.
Term
gear ratchet
A “gear ratchet” is a ratcheting wrench where the turning action is controlled by gears. People bring it up because the feel and how smoothly it works can be different from other ratchets.
Term
ratcheting wrench
A ratcheting wrench is a wrench that keeps turning in one direction when you move it back and forth. That makes it easier to work in tight spots where you can’t move the tool much.
LIVE
3, 2, 1.
Welcome one and all to the revival motoring podcast.
I'm today joined by my co-host, Nick Paws R.
Paws. What's up?
I'm also joined by some special guests today, Mr.
Ed, two tall Jones, Shook D.
Hi, daddy.
And another guy some people might know.
He's kind of a big deal, Mr. Corey.si.
I don't know. I'm a big deal, too.
I don't know what we're doing right now.
Welcome to episode 400.
It's episode 400 because I'm on it.
It's been four weeks and I'm on it.
It's episode 400.
The next time I'm on, it's going to be episode 500.
You're going to wait two years before you come back?
Probably.
That would be faint. No, I don't know.
Yeah, probably.
All right. Well, hey, you know, probably not.
I'll hit you up in two years
because we're still doing this.
Are you still going to be doing this in two years?
I don't know if you heard,
but June 10th was eight years.
Holy, wow. Eight years.
Yeah, June 10th was eight years.
It was a congratulations.
June 10th, 2018 was episode one.
And that was actually episode one, like Josh alone, standalone,
which actually might have been Brett.
It was. It was.
That was episode one on June 10th, 2018.
No, no, no.
So we're only maybe a week or two away
from it being like eight years with all three of us.
That's a real university because shows need time to grow, develop,
find their path down the road.
And you guys find your path with the Chuckster and you on here.
So, but yeah, it's, I don't know, two years.
Why not? Right?
I didn't know you before I heard you until on this thing.
It's a Wednesday ritual.
I knew you were.
I also didn't know how funny Chuck was.
I like that it's like permission for you guys to hang out.
Everybody in your lives knows like Wednesday nights,
Wednesday nights law, except for when Josh has work and trucks in Poland
or Sweden, where the fuck is right now?
Yeah, Chuck, Chuck misses time the most out of everyone.
Shout out. Yeah.
It's difficult for me too, because it's like a sniper shot.
So if I miscalculate work or some fucking bullshit comes up,
that's 30 minutes.
It somehow turns into an hour and a half.
I'm like, well, I give you a lot of grace because he travels.
Yeah, I was going to say far to be here.
I believe it's even farther for shook to get here than I do.
And shook is here like a lot.
Yeah, he used to be out here for work.
Not so much anymore.
Never. No, that was why it was perfect.
That's where it started.
That's where it started.
But then you were hooked like an attic.
I lived in Westbrook, so it was only an hour, which was nice.
You lived in Westbrook. Yeah.
Oh, and then I had to move now living Terry town, which is far.
I don't live in.
You know, well, yeah, I want to move closer, obviously.
But come on down, baby.
I don't know about Rhode Island.
We'd love to have you.
Well, I work in Cheshire now.
So it's like, I mean, hey, that's right around the corner.
That's right by means right on the corner from Rhode Island.
It's so close.
Hop, skip and a jump.
Yeah, super close.
Two hours. I don't even know.
I couldn't even point to where it is on a map.
It's two hours from here.
The fact that multiple times I've been on and shook is on.
And then we pass each other driving home like 10 different ways on the highway.
And I'm like, why are we not fucking just driving together?
We're wasting so much gas and fuel.
Yeah, that happens.
We should have frigging road trip today
because it's convenient until we get back to like the town.
And then it's like, all right, I got to get out of my car and get in my car.
Yeah, but it's got to be a parking ride somewhere.
Yeah. Yeah, it's got to be a parking lot.
Anything you know, some hot dog spot you guys can kind of conjoin at
right off the highway. Sure. I'm sure we're good.
Yeah. Nick's house.
Your house. There we go.
You borrow my money room in the garage.
Not really.
That's the joke.
Yeah, it's just a joke.
We could take the car of the rotisserie here.
Yeah.
Anyway, well, my guests are back this week, right?
Because it's been a whole week, hasn't it?
Oh, yeah, we kept our clothes.
So great to see you guys again.
This continuity often.
That drive does feel long a second time.
Yeah, brutal.
Tobias will be so proud of the continuity we have right now.
Reminding me of going to skate camp as a child.
And I went for a week working there.
Then I went back to work for a week.
And then I went back to skate camp for another week.
Yeah.
There was a lot of driving.
Where was skate camp?
That Woodward, Pennsylvania.
That was a safe assumption, but.
I think it's like 656 hours.
All I know is when you get off the highway,
it's still like two hours and 15 minutes to go of just cornfields.
I had friends that left that couldn't get full up
and came back actual demons as skateboarding.
I went there. It was actual deep.
It was like, I could just destroy you and skate.
Not even want to look at a skateboard now.
That was demotivating.
Core memories at the good old camp.
Woodward, one of them closed.
That one's still open though, right?
Yep. That's the original one.
It's forever open in Dave Mears BMX on PlayStation one.
Through that.
But yeah, so we're back another week.
This is probably coming out July 3rd.
So we wish everyone a fantastic fourth of July.
I hope you happy 250th a medicano.
Blow some fingers off as fireworks.
Oh, been there and done that.
I hope you eat too much food.
I hope you spend a lot of time in your family.
I'll be stay up late.
Got to bug bites up at rocks.
Hope you say that.
And then it was late and I was going to call you.
And I didn't because I said, it's too late for Scott.
It's too late for Scott.
And I'm heated about it. I'm heated.
I'm sorry. Heated.
Listen, I'll learn from my actions.
What else can I tell you?
I could have been watching a movie with the wife
and I've been like, I got to go.
I would never do that.
Dude, just hit me up.
Don't you ever not hit me up.
Here's the phrase I use and I use it more and more.
The more, you know, go on in life.
You won't know unless you ask.
You got to ask.
There's no harm in asking.
Are you going to be offended?
Like, oh, dude, I'm so sorry.
Like, whatever.
Right. So why would you not ask?
I just, you know, looking at the swear to God,
I don't want to put you on the spot to me.
I was on this microphone right now.
I would slap you.
I was just looking at the clock.
I was like, nah, you know,
please too late to be a pest.
It's the year of Scott.
Oh, well, hey, I'm just finding out ready for activities
on July 2nd.
I'm just finding out the year of Scott seven months in.
This literally sounds like an office.
The office skit is the year of Scott.
No, it is though.
And the it's fucked up for me because I keep seeing
all the year of Scott activities.
And I'm good friends of Nick.
I like my job, but right.
And I don't, you don't want to tell him about, Hey man.
So like, I don't have to go to work anymore.
And like, I was totally doing this all week or whatever.
How was your week at work, Nick?
Cool. I sat in 19 meetings.
Everybody's friend Tobias, Tobias treasures.
He's like, everybody's friend.
I like that.
What do you, he just like roasted me the other day.
You got all this time.
How have you not done just roasting me?
And I was like, you're killing me, dude.
Like the next three days, it took three days
with the wear off of me just like trying to be productive
and get all this stuff done.
Cause Tobias is judging me.
And oh my God, I have this free time.
I need to do this.
To be fair, he is extremely diligent
about that shit.
And I envy that a lot.
Why do you think he's so skinny?
He's one of those people just sitting on the couch.
I can't do that.
Once I sit down, I pass out.
And then when I am awake, whatever, man, like it really is.
It's not easy to stay motivated like that.
I wish I had some Tobias energy, not all of his energy
because sometimes too much energy,
but I wish I had some Tobias energy to one of a kind.
But it is.
I mean, do you all agree that like when you're productive,
end of a day or something and you got a bunch of stuff
and you're just like, hell yeah.
Yeah, that's what's up.
I had that weekend this weekend.
This weekend was like that for me.
I got all the truck stuff sorted out,
all the car stuff, everything on Saturday.
Butt stuff, what did you say?
All the butt stuff.
I got all the bus stuff taken care of.
And I had to tear up my basement.
I showed you that.
Yeah, yeah.
So I had to tear up the basement,
got that all squared away.
And it just was one of those things where at the end
of the weekend, I was like, everything I wanted
to get done this weekend got done.
And man, that is a hell of a feeling.
Yep.
Production is fantabulous.
You tell me.
And now that I'm, you know, I've got a lot of free time,
like this, the level of production, you know,
man, I got this and that done today.
It's been a great day.
And then you realize that really only took like two and a half
hours of my entire day.
You got a lot of time to do it now.
You can't get to spread it out.
Yeah.
Spread it out.
Yeah.
Spread it out.
I was working on my deck the other day,
the wife harassed me to get and I was working on it and like,
I finished that bucket of the clips for the deck.
And I was like, yeah, that's enough for today.
I'll see you again next week, Mr. Deck.
When I bust out the new box of clips for the post office.
It was a good day.
Got the mail.
It took a good two and a half minutes.
That's good.
I love it.
I love that.
It's the year of the Scott holding my jeans.
Sure.
It's been meaning to fold lots of activities.
What do you have planned for this summer and then the next
big thing coming up is, um, going to do, we're not,
Kevin McDougal wanted to get the full RV spot, the full camping
few days at grid life at Lime Rock, except I'm probably going to just
doing Friday because the camping spots are sold out.
Kevin didn't drop a ball on that.
We're just busy adults, whatever, but Friday, grid life, climb to the clouds.
Is it something looking to go to for the first time ever,
which is race up Mount Washington?
Let's go.
I'm going when I'll share the info with you.
You're going.
Hey, my broski brought it up.
I talked to my motor sport friend, Franz Daibold.
He's a professional motor sport electrician.
He is going to represent a bunch of cars.
He's going to be working and I'm going to be fantastic with you.
We're going.
I will let you know the whole situation.
You tell me, because I've got a lot of stuff blocked out.
One of them was grid life.
Grid life ain't happening.
I'm fine.
I'm out.
Well, that's climbed to class.
September is very busy.
Very busy.
September.
Lots of stuff.
Real serious.
Got a lot of stuff.
Activities planned.
Roots.
Historics at Lime Rock racing.
The 85 GTI.
Hopefully it's all fixed up.
Are you North East unity?
North East unity.
That's a 24.
That should look that up before I throw it.
Indeed.
Fantastico.
Yes, absolutely.
Let's actually, you don't want pause.
Let's plug that because it's absolutely a show.
We should support and share it.
Oh my God.
Nick and Rachel.
Are we actually racing up Mount Washington?
Yeah, no, no.
This is like professional hill climb race.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's called climb to the clouds.
It's just like Pike's Peak,
but it's for mouse watching.
I get to watch.
Correct.
20th.
Not 21st.
The 20th.
September 20th.
North East unity.
September 20th.
September 20th.
You could do it.
Chuck.
Like, you know what?
Just go to that.
What?
Anybody?
It's not pro racers.
It's a damn itchy stuff.
I can't agree more.
North East unity.
I have not been yet.
I've had two very good excuses
why I haven't been able to go the past few years.
But this year cleared it out,
made sure I had nothing going on,
blocked it out.
I'm going.
It's going to be a good time.
I can't wait to hang.
I can't wait to check it out,
scope it out.
I've heard nothing but the most positive things.
Well, that's the thing.
It doesn't matter if you have a Volkswagen
or even like Volkswagen's.
There's just going to be a bunch of people there
hanging out, talking about cars,
looking at cars, eating food,
like relaxing.
It was maybe the one show
that I went to this last year
and the year before where at the end of the day,
I was like, what?
Like, I could just chill here for the rest.
You know, like there's no, you know,
you go to a car show or something like that
within a couple hours.
You're like, all right, I get it.
Let's get out of here.
Yeah.
Like this is not like that.
That's good.
You know, well, where's that one?
That is in Turner Falls.
Turner Falls, Massachusetts.
It's on the Massachusetts border.
It's like top left.
It's only like top of 91 from me, so.
Yeah.
The way it works in Connecticut is interesting.
It's probably not that far from you.
Turner's two hours tops from you.
Yeah.
It's definitely not the end of the world,
but it's definitely a good hang.
Definitely worth checking out.
Great time.
Shout out, Nick and Rachel.
Thanks for all the hard work.
Roots is or anything like that.
But attending this year, going to go,
going to hang out.
Not sure if I'll actually go to the show,
but for all the GTGs beforehand,
just seeing friends.
Yep.
That's what's most important.
You as well.
Good time.
Absolutely.
You as well.
I don't really know how much the show matters to attend.
We had a great time there.
We had some real bonding moments.
I don't want to down talk it.
Me and Corey.
There's no down talk.
It's fun.
I agree with you.
You know, the whole weekend is nothing.
That's what I'm going for.
Not to, you know, go to the show thing.
When did you leave on a Friday last time?
Or was it Saturday?
No, it was Sunday.
You left on Sunday?
Yeah.
You didn't go to the thing on Sunday,
but you bounced on there.
Yeah.
I actually, I met up with everyone.
Got breakfast.
Got my car drove home.
Okay.
That was great.
I needed a serious recharge time.
Yeah.
It was nice.
Place yourself back on the charger.
It was silence from there until the James Gendalfini.
And then after that, I like turned on a book.
You know, it was good.
It was good.
I found myself now being older that I'm like,
man, I just drove somewhere.
It's been 20 minutes.
I forgot to turn on anything.
I'm just raw dogging in my head the whole time.
And I'm like, let me turn off the radio or unplug my phone.
Oh, wait.
I never even raw dogging in my head.
Just puttying, you know, existing in here.
All right.
So September busy.
What is climbed to the clouds?
That's in August.
In August.
Okay.
We can do.
I'm looking forward to that because imagine going north.
It's going to be cooler.
And then this is going to be magical.
We did our drive to Mount Washington in the summer.
And I remember at the top, it was
I'm looking forward to putting on a hoodie in August.
It was, it was pretty chill.
So I'm excited for this as well.
I'd love to check this out.
I've talked about it for years.
Never made it to go.
Oh, that's nothing.
It's been, it's not been happened for many years.
And now it's back on.
There was, whenever the last one was we,
it was a lot of chat and hullabaloo about us possibly going.
And we obviously didn't, but I'm going.
I don't say it in that way.
I say it and like obviously didn't because I've already told you.
I haven't been.
And I would love to go.
There is obviously lots of professionals there,
but there's lots of amateurs too.
And it's not like a closed locked off pit.
I've asked somebody 50 times.
I want to make sure like you can just everybody just roll up.
You know what I mean?
My understanding is it's Vermont sports car.
We'll probably be there working on professional rally cars
or Subaru's one night.
You can just roll up, be like, what's up?
What's going on over here?
You know, it's like that.
And isn't intended enough.
Epping in New Hampshire.
You're in the Dragway.
They do NHRA like top fuel.
Open pit.
Sick.
And you're just getting your eyeball burned out of your skull.
My methane or the coolest, the coolest thing smell.
That's a great thing to attend on like a summer, summer night.
A lot of times they do the night of fire and it's dark.
And obviously like every time the cars leave the line,
there's just explosion of fire.
So it's really cool to check out.
So we got a busy, busy, busy summer for Scott.
Yep.
Might be going to California in October,
but I can't really speak on that right now.
It's it continues now almost to December
because rabbits is in November, right?
Yep.
Rabbits in the rocks.
First time last year with my boy Nick here.
We had an absolutely fantastic time.
I got to take my mark one.
I just been working on a whole bunch to get there.
Only problem is two squeaky, dull ring bushings.
And once we confirmed that it was just that
and something else not about to fall off the car,
we had a fantastic time.
Red.
We almost, we almost ran out of gas.
That was hilarious.
Oh my God.
It was a blast.
Where is rabbits on the rocks?
It's in like Lion's heart, Pennsylvania.
Yeah, it's Lion's heart.
No.
Lenhart.
Lenhart.
Lenhart'sville.
Lenhart'sville.
L-E-I-N.
L-E-N-D-H-A-R-D-T-S-V-I-L-E.
L-E-N-H-A-R-D-T-S-V-I-L-E.
Just put it.
Yeah, they're there.
They're right there.
Yeah.
Let's check, check these guys out.
Wow.
Look at, she's pretty.
Wow.
So you guys had a good time going.
It's a fantabulous time.
Did you plan to go again?
Yep.
Yep.
Nick, are we going?
Oh yeah.
Okay.
I'm hoping to take the truck.
Taking trucky.
Blue Rock family campground.
Ellie camping.
Lenhart'sville.
I'm soft.
We got a hotel.
It was awesome though.
That made it.
No, there's nothing wrong with getting a hotel.
Nick was actually the smart one too
because we went to get breakfast at
wow or whatever.
He's like, don't forget to get something for lunch too.
That's a really cool photo.
Absolute key.
Bring your lunch with, I mean, they have stuff there,
but bringing the lunch was a fantastic idea.
Wow.
Look at that.
Cool.
All right.
All right.
What else?
You don't, I mean, the year is Scott.
Here's the joke about the year, Scott.
Thanksgiving, the Christmas has been ruined
for the past 23 years.
I've never, I've had to put Christmas on pause for.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Decades.
So I mean, I don't know.
I'm like, I mean, I love Christmas as much as the next guy.
I don't know.
But I can't imagine what it's going to be like
without being stressed out of my mind for seven weeks.
Like, you know, it's going to be fantabulous.
Put your feet up.
Hey, you know what you should do?
Order a lot of shit.
Order shit.
Order it.
Just order it.
Anything you want.
I'm going to fix.
I'm going to see your citizen budget.
I'm going to fix budget right now.
It can be, like I said, I'm not working.
Just put someone else through the ringer.
Little payback.
Order a plane ticket to England.
I really want to go to Oldtimer Treffen.
That's pretty good.
I want to do that.
Nick, I mean, Koi, look that up.
When's Oldtimer Treffen?
It's like, oh, you know what?
It might be August.
I think it's August too.
Because it was the member last year,
the grass was all burnt because they were in a drought.
I really want to go.
Plus there's five meters of weed waiting for me in England
that I got to go.
There's five what?
Five meters of orange tweed.
Four posts total.
I don't, I don't know.
No, that's not it.
I don't know if that's the official account here.
This is like, you know, these guys know what they're doing.
For sure.
It's a really impressive.
I mean, even just the way they like set it up and market it.
Right there. VW old timer, middle one.
Middle one.
All right.
There we are.
There we are.
There we are.
That's it.
Okay.
Here we go.
Absolutely fantastic marketing.
Yeah.
All right.
And where is this?
It's in the UK.
The UK, but like they do camping and stuff.
Yep.
It just looks new in.
In new in.
Okay.
It is August 14th to the 16th.
Okay.
Oh, what do you mean?
That's not too soon.
You can buy tickets.
Yeah.
I'm not a good flyer.
And I'm not looking.
I'm not looking to fly right now at the state of our union.
I guess not the wrong flying right now.
Yeah, I don't mind.
Yeah.
I think I think it's totally okay.
Especially if you're flying England.
I think it's totally kosher.
Everyone has their feelings.
There's nothing wrong with that.
Everyone's feelings are allowed here.
No, that's not true.
Okay.
Some feelings are just wrong.
Everyone's feelings are welcome and allowed here.
The tickets are only eight bucks.
Buy tickets for the fuck of it.
I don't even know where I go.
That's for like an infant to attend for one day.
Yeah.
How many days?
Now it's just 14 to the 16th.
A child weekend.
Weekend admission, 54.99 pound.
Nick, you're right.
I thought you were just joking.
But it is 79 and a half.
Child weekend admission.
Oh, see.
But I mean, 55 bucks.
Hey, man.
Again, if you're going to fly to England.
Core memory sleeping at edition 38 in 2010 outside in a camp
and cars waking you up of just like, you know, VR is rolling by.
They do that.
And fantastic.
I would really like to get out there.
Fantastic alarm clock.
I highly recommend everyone a VR six soundtrack for an alarm clock.
This looks like a damn good time.
You know, a gold mine has always been to attend one of these shows
somewhere overseas.
Yeah.
I've always wanted to do that.
Well, the other one that just happened in the Netherlands was
Royal Fitment.
Is that what it is?
I don't know.
Yeah.
Maybe.
I've never heard of that one.
Yeah.
I've heard of it.
But yeah, I'd love to make it over to to event.
Just doesn't even do you don't need to go for a long time.
It's easy.
Like you're saying, you might fly to California.
It's longer.
Um, yeah.
I am flying.
I'm flying one way to California.
Yep.
So probably longer, longer both ways.
I'm flying to California.
Everything goes well.
I'm driving back.
It's longer both ways and flying and driving the summer of Scott,
maybe then popping over to the year of Scott.
People like, Hey, Scott, what are you going to do for a little
or whatever?
I don't know, man.
That sounds like a 2027 problem.
Yeah.
What do you want to do, Scott?
Whatever.
I don't know.
Still thinking about that 2027.
That's all right.
I plan for this.
You don't have to worry about meetings for at least another
Oh my God.
Six months.
I don't have to think about teams for many, many months.
Microsoft teams.
Yep.
I fucking hate Microsoft.
Find me somebody who loves it.
All my homies besides your freaking probably your employer,
your whatever.
I think flags were so, but I digress.
I don't know anything about any of this.
You don't have teams meeting.
Absolutely not.
What are you used to?
Absolutely not.
Stay where you are.
How do you communicate?
Sounds like I'm working email only.
I go to your person's office and I say, Hey, what's up?
And we discuss what needs to be discussed.
Like how do you just waste time?
Same thing.
There's no time.
You don't need, you don't have a meeting to get planned
for the meeting coming up.
Absolutely not.
Oh my God.
No, the meetings don't even happen because they don't need
to happen.
The meeting can be a phone call.
Could have been an email.
It can be.
What the hell are you guys doing over there?
I know.
We're being efficient.
We're not wasting time.
That's not what it's about.
We're getting on with our lives.
Obviously not in the business.
How's that CT location?
You need someone to run a CT location?
Dude, that's why it's on the streets of my house.
Look, CT location is great.
I can do whatever you need.
I can.
I've enjoyed pizza at the CT location.
I missed out on it this year, unfortunately.
Totally bailed on me this year.
I can move boxes.
I was like a sad puppy dog standing in the doorway
looking for Scott.
I got to go.
Yeah.
No, Scott.
My bad.
I felt bad.
No, Scott.
So where was I had dusted off?
Sitting on the ground holding the spot for Scott's car.
Yeah.
The comes out the whole time.
As if you confirmed with me that he'd have a spot where you
hang it out with Sloan where you guys like where the hell is
everybody?
Oh, that's right.
I didn't go to dust off because of Nick.
Oh, yeah.
It's all your fault.
Nick pause.
Nope.
I waited.
I waited all day.
Hold the spot.
It's all your fault.
You used up what little energy I had.
That's true.
All day holding a spot.
No, Scott.
No, Scott.
You know.
Yeah.
What are you going to do?
What are you going to do?
You can only do so much.
Spent a lot of quality time with Nick the previous 24 hours.
Sounds good.
I like that.
I like that.
It was.
See, you know, he rescued me a couple of times.
Sometimes you got to do it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And if I went to dust off, you would have been SOL for sure.
It's not a big deal though.
I know.
Like I don't really care that much.
I didn't care either, but you thought I did.
I had two requirements and within 12 hours they're already
fucked.
So there we go.
Moving on.
Did it end up raining?
No, it was nice.
Wasn't it?
It was a beautiful day.
Yeah.
It was a beautiful day.
It was a day before we were at my house that it was raining.
It was a beautiful day.
I made Scott move all of his cars out of his garage.
So I could use his lift and I didn't finish the job in time
and it rained all over all of his cars.
And it wasn't just the rain.
It was spring and it was the buds from the trees.
And now the buds are floated.
And then it was the pollen stuck in.
They're still in my garage.
They're still in my garage, disgustingly covered with buds
and nasty.
I ruined his E 30.
I ruined his truck.
Yeah.
What else did you have to park?
Nick bought a truck.
So I was like, I need to buy a truck too.
So I bought one too.
Wait a minute.
Who bought this first?
Nick bought his first.
Did I?
Yeah.
But I didn't get it until after mine was a quick deal.
I got very lucky.
Mine came from it was kind of funny.
Oh, by the way, I had that plate for you.
Okay.
Yeah.
It was kind of funny because like we had these long discussions
at rabbits and the rocks because it was just a mark one weekend.
My heart recharged of how much I love mark ones by cruising my
mark one all the way there and back.
Nick, not drivers even like, fuck, I can't wait to get my truck.
That's right.
I had gotten it.
It got delivered the day before.
Correct.
So he was super hyped.
And then shortly after that, I got a text message or whatever.
And I was like, you know, the thing's sick.
You got and he's like, no, I'm sending to you.
I'm passing on it.
And I was like, aw, shit.
And then I got one.
It's lovely.
I saw yours.
You did.
I did.
You did.
Everybody needs it.
You did.
Came to your house.
I forget.
Came to your house.
A special I am.
I need to take those vitamins that increase your memory.
What was it?
Those ads?
Oh, that's the Rogan thing.
I've given up on actively looking for a car because I found,
I figured out that actively looking for a car
does not find you a car.
The best ones find you.
Exactly.
So I've given up on actively pursuing searching for a car.
Our friend's sending you links to cars
that you might be interested in because that's worked for me.
Nothing more with that.
Right.
But I'm saying I'm not.
Yeah.
I'm not to put it out to the world
that you're not in a position to get a car.
And then the car will show up for you.
Yeah.
Look, drop seven K on a cat.
And then a few months later, drop four plus K
on the water treatment system at your house.
And then you have no money.
That's exactly when your car,
you've always desired is going to pop right up on you.
That's all right.
Wind shield.
Yeah.
That's all right.
That's all right.
It'll just be there.
It'll be there.
Be waiting for me.
But yeah, I actively, I'm not looking.
And then people send me stuff and see the yay, nay, whatever.
But it's always nice.
Is it ever, what the fuck is wrong with you?
How would you send that to me?
No, no, no.
Because the people I talk to about it are sensible.
Okay.
I guess I send you more listings.
Yeah.
People I talk to about are super sensible, you know?
And we just kind of, we have a laugh about what people are
trying to ask for cars sometimes.
Oh yeah, man.
Car market's wild.
You should look at two forties.
If you want a really good laugh.
I mean, I don't have, here's the problem.
I don't have a base knowledge for that to understand.
You don't need one.
You look at the picture.
It looks like a fucking boss hit it and they're like, yeah,
6,500 bucks.
And you're like, well, I don't know a shit about fuck,
but I do know that that's not $6,500 with a car.
This is a picture of the car in the junkyard.
That's going to be 7,500 Amigo.
Nothing really makes sense anymore in the world.
There's no like common logic.
There's no common knowledge between,
there's no such thing anymore as like common knowledge.
People are just making up shit as they go.
Don't be stupid, you moron.
That's it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But anyway, that's where I stand on that.
It's a Scott summer.
Nick, what are your plans?
What are your plans for the summer?
I'm going to go to work every day,
just like every other fucking season.
Yeah.
But you have a relatively new job outside of work.
Outside of work.
What are your plans?
So it's the summer of the pickup truck.
Days are long, sun's up high.
The longest day has passed us, my friend.
It doesn't matter.
The days are still super long.
Yeah.
What about when it's February 12th?
How long's the day then?
Yeah, pretty short.
Exactly.
It's way longer now.
It's fucking cold.
I'll tell you that.
I'll tell you what, though.
More and more, I am so everybody, you know,
as we get older, we're more aware of it.
But like, I think a lot about the difference
in the way it feels at 6 p.m. during the winter
versus like the summer.
6 p.m. in the winter, you're like,
oh, it's fucking nighttime.
If you're wrapped over.
Time to wind down.
It's over.
Yeah, yeah.
6 p.m. in the summer, you're like,
it's fucking midday.
The sun is like directly above me.
I've got hours more of fun.
I can do whatever I want to do.
When I got up a minute ago at 9, it was bright out.
Yeah.
I looked outside and I was like, what the fuck?
Yeah.
And I checked my clock to make sure I'm not tripping.
Bizarre.
I try to keep.
But it's just the way that the world feels,
you know, middle of winter in Connecticut.
Like, you know, yeah.
5 p.m.
When was the just like,
when was the last time it was on?
But like this was the worst winter ever.
And over like decades,
I'm going to say 10 years worse winter ever.
It was terrible.
I'm going to be honest.
All of March was full of it was just like February.
Like usually in March, you get some nice days,
you know, get the juices on a little bit.
Like there might have been three nice days in all of March.
It was just like February, the worst.
I left a shitty job in 2003 and I've had a few jobs since then.
But like regardless of job changes,
my life has been a lot more even and enjoyable and like sort of
like I don't have those swings anymore.
I'm just like a little bit more even in terms of how I feel in general,
just because I got rid of that shitty job
and got kind of a new perspective on like the value of that,
you know, like what that shit really means.
Scott and I were talking about a shit on the way down.
Like it's just not as important.
Deep thoughts.
It's good to reset your perspective like that once in a while.
And so, you know, in general, like, you know, I joke,
I'm just going to work through the summer like every other season,
but generally really like it's just a lot more even for me now for sure.
Even real quick.
1986 silver jet of coupe needs nothing.
We're good. What's wrong with it?
I need one.
I already fixed 50 things on it for free.
My house needs is an OEM rear bumper lower chrome trim.
Okay. That's nothing.
It needs nothing.
Well, that turns out.
So crap. I'm just saying you can enjoy it the summer.
Then you can work on truckie, your new truckie.
Work on the other car.
Work on the forever project.
Work on the forever project.
I'm going to get that done.
You got to make it a not forever project.
Yeah.
Yeah.
House quitter.
The problem is.
Oh, have stuff here.
I gotta say.
Oh, dude, I love house projects.
I have to fit.
No, no, you don't love all house projects.
And this one Nick is on is not one to love.
Here's the thing, man, like over the last couple years,
I've noticed that some water has gotten into my basement,
but it's a finished basement.
And the previous owners had finished it.
And they put down some kind of OSB subfloor.
And if you know anything about OSB,
it's just chips of wood glued together.
It's a sponge.
And when it gets wet, it turns into garbage.
Yeah.
And of course it's covered.
So like the floor started to get wavy and soft.
And I'm like, oh, this isn't a good situation.
I got to deal with this.
And it was just eating at me, you know.
And it was months, maybe, maybe like almost two years of me
kind of like stepping on the messed up floor
and being like, I got to deal with this.
So like a month ago, maybe we went down to the laundry room
and there was just a thousand little flies.
Like they had hatched out and they kept hatching every day.
And we were just vacuuming them out of the air in swarms.
And finally I was like, I can't wait for this to end.
I have to rip up the floor.
So I ripped up half of my, all the rotted floor.
And it was rotted.
I mean, like it had turned into dirt, you know.
And these things were just hatching out of it.
So I got rid of all that, which was extremely satisfying.
Like there was a salamander under there just hanging out.
And so it was a bad situation.
But now the rest of the summer, I've got to dedicate some energy
to actually ripping out the walls and stuff
because the walls were built on top of the floor.
So there are portions of the floor that I couldn't get up.
Plus it wasn't really finished.
Did you fix where the water was coming in?
No, I can't, I don't know where it was coming in.
Oh, you got to fix that first.
I will see it now that the concrete's exposed.
So that's the thing.
I got to tear out the whole, the whole basement,
bring some people in to cut some drains.
It's going to be the expensive summer, Nick, for sure.
All right, we all have one.
Yeah.
Well, I've seen the expensive one cars
or expensive on the house.
Yeah, expensive on life.
Expensive on the body.
That's it.
You know, he'd be grateful that nothing expensive
on the body has happened.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Fingers crossed, you know, 44.
I'm 44 years old now.
Yeah.
I feel it.
I can feel it.
You know, like a day over 23.
I'm not getting smarter.
I'm getting dumber.
I can tell.
Sometimes I try to think, but nothing happens.
Exactly.
I'm like, oh, I forgot what that person just said to me.
Definitely getting older.
You know, you just smile and nod.
I can't even muster a smile.
Oh, my God.
Are you one of those people that tell your name
and you get like three?
No.
I already forgot your name.
No, no, no, no.
No, I'm great.
I'm great with names.
It's just terrible.
It's part of my job and how I interact.
So I have to.
So I'm very, I'm very, very good at it.
I'm very good on the details of who a person is,
what they are, why I need to speak with them
or the just key factors.
But it's like the monotony of like just random small talk.
I can walk away from conversation
and have absolutely zero idea of what we spoke about.
Well, what I do now is if I know,
I have to remember his person's name to shake my hand.
Like, hey, my name is Rick.
And I'm like, Rick, Rick.
Yeah, I say it out loud.
And he's, he's saying something else,
but I'm just going, Rick, Rick.
I gotta remember.
This is Rick, Rick.
That's how I do it.
Oh, that's good.
That's good.
Stupid.
Oh, no, no.
Fortunately, everybody knows Scott.
So it works out for him.
It is very good, very convenient.
Do you do the thing where you don't
save people's phone numbers?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Who doesn't save phone?
I do.
I do it to myself all the time.
And they're like,
So you're freaking a T nine word texting,
entering the numbers into the thing.
No, they'll like message me and be like,
Hey bro, long time no talk.
And I'm like, yeah, how's your car?
And then you don't know where they are.
Yeah.
I have no idea.
I'm trying to get some info.
They're like, yeah, I know the turbo.
I actually have my phone set that if it's not saved in my phone,
I never get it anymore.
When I stopped my business or whatever.
And I was like, I don't want to get a new phone number.
How do I make this?
Oh, if your phone's, if your number's not saved to my phone,
my phone just blocks it automatically, which is badass.
That's like, I don't care.
That's pretty cool.
I also, people want to save storage on their phone.
You know, you can like make it to like all tech messages,
delete after a certain period of time.
And mine was set to never and my phone was like kind of full.
And I was like, Oh, I don't care anymore.
What happens?
Let's go back one year.
Oh, you just gained freaking 18 gigs in your phone
because you just deleted forever crap on your phone.
Very freeing.
Yeah. I like to play that game every Christmas
when somebody randomly messaged me.
I'm like, I have no fucking idea what this number is.
And the year of Scott is like, Oh, I missed your call.
Cool. I wouldn't say I was missing it.
That's why I didn't call.
So I'm going to have called me.
I'm going to spend the rest of summer
enjoying cars and hangouts.
Yeah. That's what it is.
What more can you do?
I mean, you could play with Lego.
That's good.
I would argue that drag me along.
If you go into the woods and you could come with me
if you want and you bring a little Ozark trail grill
and you just park it a little river and cook out dog and woods
is top tier.
It's top tier shit.
The only thing I think bad about that is the bugs.
Not if you have to fire going good enough.
There's no bugs.
There was no bugs when I went, but right.
As soon as there's I'm not poo pooing and the whole thing.
I'm trying to think the only negative from everything
you're mentioning, the only negative is the bucks.
Everything else is fantabulous.
Even if it's a little too hot, it's okay
because you're outdoors and there's just air movement
and a little too cold.
It's okay.
Maybe put an extra layer, bro.
It's fantastic.
We get a little closer to the fire.
Yeah. Look at you.
Wow. We all got crazy good plans going on here.
I'd like to do more like car stuff, not like racing.
Not.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's spoken about something that's like more free,
like gas versus like entry fee.
Just get out and drive around.
Yeah. Get out and drive.
I hate a bunch of, you know, social media people.
Yeah. Same thing. Get out and drive.
Just get out and drive around.
That's just daily my shit, man.
Yeah. Just get out.
Back in 2016, when I bought my golf bar
and got back into Volkswagen's every night,
I would just get in that thing, brand new golf bar
and just cruise all through Connecticut,
just by myself for hours.
Just like, I used to do that a lot.
And I haven't done it that much this year.
And you know what I should, because I had been like wanting to,
I want to sell, I have like a list on my head of like,
this has to get done this year car wise.
This has, this car needs to get work done.
This car needs to get sold.
This that the other.
And I got to like stop beating myself up,
beat it and just get in a car and go for a drive.
Yeah. Oh, it's so good to think about it.
Like, yeah, that I spend a lot of like my 20s just doing that.
Just cruising back roads.
Oh my God. My entire, all of my 20s.
Yeah. It's just nonstop, like just going places.
You just got to spend gas.
My kid doesn't leave his room.
He's just placing computer all the time.
Me, I got my license.
I wasn't home fucking until I moved out.
Like every night, all night,
I was in a parking lot, staying and doing nothing
rather than being home.
Like, you know, raw dogged in your mind.
Like you were saying.
What, you know exactly what I'm talking about.
Maybe I used the wrong phrase.
No, that's it.
Isn't a whole thing like there was something about
men on a flight, raw dog and a flight.
You just sit there.
No, that's like hot shit.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, just you can't be alone with your thoughts.
Chuck, raw dog in a flight.
Dude, I have done that.
No, yeah.
How long is the flight though?
Even I'm not flying to Frankfurt, Germany.
Dude, I've done coast to coast with no entertainment.
Totally fine.
Like I just got tired.
Yeah. What did they do back today?
They ripped heaters on the plane instead of freaking
you need to smoke and cigarettes.
A free used to be like a, like a Southwest.
There used to be a curtain between smoking and
not smoking on the flight.
No, I've done it because I just got tired of preparing
and trying to like get some movies together.
And it's just like, they have movies right on the headset.
Not a Southwest flight.
I've stared at that plane moving across the globe.
There's no screen.
How cheap are the tickets?
Southwest.
Yeah.
Dude, it's a free for all of your not as cheap as it should be.
Not anymore.
Oh, there's a sign.
See anymore.
It's not a model.
That's right.
It's not a stage rush to get.
I don't have to fist fight someone to get my seat.
No, not anymore.
Dude, I had permanent A1 status.
Yeah.
I'm flying south.
You'll always be a one of my book.
What is it?
Is Southwest like a waffle house?
No, honestly, Southwest.
No, no, no.
It actually, it worked.
It worked.
It did work really well.
Not only that, but the company operates at a different level
than every other airline.
Like they're the way their business model is set up.
They use the same personnel for different tasks for efficiency.
Yeah.
They were the first budget airline and they're still
I don't want to say the best at it, but they're pretty good at it.
Like so many other budget airlines.
And it's all based off of Southwest doing it.
Why are there so many bugs in here?
Yeah.
There is a bunch of bugs in here, dude.
There's one in the paper towel.
Oh, I see two in the paper towel.
I don't know.
They're falling from the ceiling right there.
Yeah.
But shook already killed like two of them.
No, he killed the second one too.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Grabbed his ass out of the air.
I don't know.
I don't know who was here last or anything.
Summer of bugs.
I'm going to leave the door open then though,
just to see if maybe there's a button about him.
We are just in a warehouse after all.
So even though the room looks pretty, it is just a warehouse.
I text you guys about this.
I've had this idea and I've wanted to ask the questions
and it organically came up last week.
We were talking about it, but tool must have
the unexpectedly important.
You bought a tool, you were like, whatever,
or someone told you to get a tool.
You're like, I'll never use it.
And you're like, I could never live without it.
Or on the flip side, it's a tool you're like,
I have to have this.
I can't live without this tool.
You get it.
And you're like, this was a whole waste of money.
So there's a couple of things that I can think of immediately
that are like,
I'm dying to know if one of yours is one of the ones I'm
thinking of that was been big for you.
It's a go ahead.
Well, one of them is definitely
hose clamp removal tool.
You know, like, I don't know if I don't spring.
Spring hose clamp removal tool.
Like, you know, you can do it with a pair of pliers,
kind of channel locks or something,
but like that tool, you know, the way that it functions.
It's so simple.
Hit the right angle.
Yeah.
It clamps at the right amount.
And you can get it where you need it.
Beautiful.
Like that's worth it all day long.
Put that in the toolbox.
Did you purchase?
You have the locking one that as you clamp it together,
it locks.
And it comes together.
Do you have the remote one and the cable?
Because I have one of those too.
And it's fantastic.
I see that.
I'm not Scott, but, you know, it's fantastic.
The locking one is nice.
Now, when you bought yours,
did you buy yours in a kit with?
Clamps?
No, no.
I mean, it was just my mind.
Really?
Yes.
It's like a 200 piece all different size.
I do have a kit like that, but it didn't.
It wasn't part of it.
And then the tool came.
The tool was in it.
It's a nice little plastic carrying case.
I like that.
I got it the same for the BMWs as a particular kind of clamp.
I forget the name of it.
There's a bug on me.
There was.
What the fuck is going on in here?
I don't know what's going on.
We're trying to return to our roots right now.
The one time use clip.
The over clamps or something.
You might be close.
You might be close.
Give me a second.
I'm drawing a blank.
Yeah, that's all right.
So that is a tool.
You're like, I bought this.
Can't live without it.
Got to have it.
Yeah, definitely.
I struggled through with pliers for a long time.
And I was like, I just got to get one of these things.
And I was like, that was why did I wait so long?
Yes.
Like the single.
But then there's another tool that I'll mention on the other side of things.
Yeah.
BMW uses all these things.
It's a one time.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You crimp it.
You have, you have the right name to cut it.
You don't have to cut this.
You have to cut it to get it off.
And you can feel it.
Get it off.
Get it off.
You have to get it off.
I want you crimp it.
No, you're good because like it goes in internally.
But BMW uses all these.
Can't believe I'm drawing a blank in the name right now.
So it's driving me nuts.
This past winter, I did a bunch of maintenance stuff on it.
And I had to get all these clips off.
And I would never allow myself to just put regular hose clamps on.
Yeah.
Right.
And so I went, I bought this kit.
I replaced everything, replaced both ends,
even though I was only disconnecting one end.
That's why you couldn't have a dirty clip inside,
clean clip on the other side.
You know, obviously you understand the pain,
but the mental anguish.
Utism.
Yeah.
One of your tisms.
Make sure they're all the same.
The other tool that I'm really happy to have is a,
I guess, what would you even, what do they even call it?
Like a cordless, not air powered.
Like right at you.
Sander.
Like right angle.
Oh.
Sander.
Diagramder.
Diagramder, but with the sander.
Yeah.
Because I was doing battery.
Battery.
Yeah.
Okay.
Because I was doing body work with just an angle grinder.
And no matter how like careful I tried to be,
or like how much I tried to finesse it,
at some point you just can't.
Yeah.
It's just generating too much heat.
You're warping the metal.
Like it's just too hard.
And I had an air grinder,
but it was like,
I didn't have the compressor for it.
Couldn't keep up with it.
But then I finally got that 18 volt or 12 volt or whatever.
Millie Wauke.
The Millie Wauke.
Fantastic.
And yeah, that thing is like a lifesaver.
Cause you can.
Yep.
It's just awesome.
It's just like, it really is one of those.
Yeah.
That's it.
Yeah.
It really is one of those tools that delivers on.
You know, you're like,
oh, if I only had the right tool, I could do this.
And this is true about this tool.
So this is, this is the must have.
This is like,
you know, if you're doing any body stuff for sure,
I would go Hercules, you know,
kind of a harbor freak guy.
This is how you use the coupon.
This is what shook was doing.
He's wet sand and the top of it would have been easier.
It's 40 grand.
The dye grinder is polishing the,
the metal exactly.
Exactly what was going on the onsetting for 20 K RPMs.
Making that like the panel,
no heat there and the pain slap in the panel so fast.
Yeah, exactly.
I would say a must have is an electric ratchet.
it by far and electric ratchet.
I can't agree with you enough.
Yep.
It's the greatest tool I've ever had.
I mean, the one I have, the head swivels,
so you can set it kind of North, South, East, West,
whichever way.
Well, brand.
Ryobi, I'm a Ryobi guy.
I'm a Ryobi, small, miliwake guy.
There's a lot of hate for it.
I'm a Ryobi guy.
Kind of just went into Home Depot one day, looked around,
and I was like, I like that color.
And that's where I grew from.
I'm a big rigid guy.
I gotta try one of those.
I didn't mean to eat.
You're so soft.
You're not rigid, bro.
You're soft.
Yeah, I can imagine that.
So pretty helpful.
The, yeah.
We don't have one.
No, no.
I would say.
I would say to get the Harbor Freight one to try it out,
but that one's big.
Straight to miliwake.
Get the miliwake.
Miliwake makes a cheap one
and then a really good brushless one
and really good brushless one.
And remember the head size and the really good ones
is the same whether it's freaking half inch,
three eighths or quarter inch.
And so I just get a half inch
and it's never failed me down.
I don't have all three sizes.
And I don't really feel you need it.
I would recommend getting the fuel one.
Yeah, yeah.
That's the brushless.
Fuel is brushless.
The battery's too big.
That's the one you have.
This one I have here.
And so the Anvil is what you call it.
This one?
Free with purchase right there.
Oh yeah.
But I don't think that's the ION one.
That's the cheap one.
Mine was cheaper than that.
Well, it's always dealers.
But it comes at the different size Anvil.
So I've got a quarter inch, three eighths and a half inch.
I mean, that's a pretty good feature.
Works great for me.
Check it out.
And then the head swivels.
So anywhere you want to go.
But a lot of people don't know this.
Amazon has a, if you click on the buy new and used,
if you click used, you can do Amazon warehouse
and get some return shit for like,
sometimes it's up to 60%.
It's pretty tight.
It's some serious savings.
Yeah.
So mine was like 89 bucks or 90 bucks.
And you got a Milwaukee one?
Yeah.
It is this one.
I have this one.
It's not the fuel.
Right.
The fuel is a good one.
The fuel.
I would argue this one is also the good one.
It's probably just perfect.
The point is people, if you don't have one,
you put your socket on,
you hit the freaking lever for it to go.
It won't break it free.
You just crank it like it's a ratchet
and then it just takes over once it can.
And you're just freaking zinging out bullets.
Like nobody's gonna get one of those.
Or I call it the neutral drop.
You get it spinning and then you hammer it onto the bolt.
That's pretty sweet.
And then it'll crack it off for you.
Oh my God.
That's crazy people talk.
Oh my goodness.
So you got it and then hammer it on
and it'll snap it free.
Has anyone ever like done something serious
with like a plug-in half inch drill
where you're holding it and next thing you know,
you're fucking going for a ride?
Cause I've been over a five gallon bucket doing some
with a half inch drill.
Next thing you know, I'm going for a ride, bro.
Yep.
Fantastic.
I can't tell you how many times I used to have
a half inch drive air tool, like air impact.
The amount of times and he would just bite
and throw my hand and crush it in between.
Oh my God.
I used to do a lot of aluminum fabrication
and drilling through aluminum.
Like no matter what you have, you're going to catch
and it just destroys you every time.
It doesn't matter what to do with it.
Piece of metal flying around.
Some good stuff.
I got, I got, got, I will say,
there was like an Instagram ad for like a one way check valve
like, or like a one person brake bleeder.
So it's a single person brake bleeder.
It's good.
It's like little check valve.
So fluid can only flow one way.
And I was like, that seems super clever.
Let's give it a shot.
It was pushing the fluid or sucking the fluid.
So like if you're in the car and you're pump, pump, pump,
like the fluid wants it back.
Oh, you just open the, open the valves and let it rip.
Yeah.
No one tried it.
No one's tried that before.
And once, once the fluid gets past the valve,
it can't back up to let any air in.
Yeah.
It kind of works, but then it's like,
I got to get it out of the car to see it.
Sounds like it works in theory.
Yeah. But do you think about it?
I could be pumping, you pump it for days.
You can't see, I can't see it.
So I have to get out of the car anyway.
I would recommend in that vein,
cause I thought you were about to mention a tool
and I was going to like totally like bug out
if you're talking about a tool,
because Harbor Freight, $29 pneumatic brake bleeder.
Oh.
Sucks at each bleeder.
Yeah.
And I have now recommended it.
And I'm pretty sure it's like 10 out of 10
on recommendations of people have a problem.
I say, quit being a cheapskate,
go to freaking Harbor Freight, buy this tool,
and it won't let you down.
Bleeding hydraulic clutches, everything else.
This thing works flawlessly.
Look it up, Pittsburgh pneumatic brake fluid bleeder
with auto refill kit.
I don't even use a refill kit.
You hook this bad boy to...
I've heard this multiple times.
First thing I do is I go to the master,
go to the reservoir, suck out all the bad fluid
with the tool.
Fill it with fresh stuff.
Go to my farthest corner,
hook this bad mamma jammer up and just freaking,
it has a little hook there that you can just,
pull the handle and then lock the handle
so it's sucking like crazy.
Crack open that bleeder, let it go, let it go.
Once it's good, close the bleeder,
undo the handle, go to the thing
because I do a lot of work by myself.
And this tool is fantastic.
And even on hydraulic clutches, say Volkswagen's,
dude, I'm not bleeding the slave on the firewall.
I just ride it to master, ride on the transmission.
Done, mint.
Absolute mint clutch.
I didn't even re...
964, I'm restoring, doing all the work on 964.
I gotta bleed the clutch, whatever.
I didn't even call like Porsche master people
had been giving me advice on the whole restoration of the car.
I was like, I know just what to do.
And I put this bad boy on there,
sucked out the nastiest blackest fluid,
came out super clear.
My clutch was perfect ever since.
You know what's funny?
This is cheaper than what the other thing was.
The I saw on TV that you got burned on?
Yeah.
But I've recommended it to people having all sorts of problems,
bleeding their brakes, and then like a day, two days,
a week later, like, yo, Scott, best tool ever.
Thank you so much.
I got it. I got QVC'd.
I'll go buy one of these.
Yeah, you said don't be a chiefscape,
but it's fucking $30.
Well, that's why I tell people like,
I'm not exactly sure your problem is,
but for $30, you can almost rule out that.
It might not be because I had another per,
I had one person where he said didn't work.
And it turns out he had some bad banjo fittings in his system.
And that's why I didn't work.
And I was like, ha, ha.
It wasn't the tool because he was,
he was poo-pooing on my tool
because his motive powder power bleeder wasn't working.
A copy of a motive power bleeder made by Snap-on wasn't working.
And I was like, Hey, I saw what you think
that was going to work. The other one didn't.
So then he spent the $30.
And then on the Harbor Freight,
when that didn't work and he was talking shit to me
and it turned out bad banjo bolts.
The Harbor Freight has mad cool shit.
You let him have it?
No, cause we're buddies and he's way smarter than me.
When I have problems, he's the one I call.
You're rarely going to use or not use every day.
Like it makes sense to get him there.
Like the freaking inner tie rod removal.
Like, you know, like how long you're going to use that?
Like I've used it literally once.
I've used it numerous times within so many years.
When I went to use it, when Nick needed a bar,
I couldn't find it.
That's how long it has been since I used it.
I lost it.
Mine's under my toolbox.
It doesn't look like it.
That's the whole problem.
It's not, it's in a plastic case
and it didn't fit.
It doesn't fit in any of my toolboxes.
Yeah, it's stupid as fuck.
They should put us, I don't know.
They could have made it.
They could have re, yeah.
Yeah.
I think the newer version you got, Nick, that day
is a smaller version, like the case.
They reorganized.
Made it tighter.
Right. They made it better.
Matching year case for the tie rod container.
Let's make it as small as possible.
Same here as a toolbox.
Same here as a toolbox.
86, Samsonite.
86, Samsonite.
Another tool that I didn't know I needed
until Britt got it for me for Christmas, my birthday.
I don't remember.
So creepers, great, right?
Cause we don't like to get dirty.
That guy's a lift.
But what's a creeper?
Sorry.
You don't speak poor, right?
For all you poor guys.
I have a creeper.
It's just real dusty from sitting in the corner
for the last 10 years.
I fucking hate them.
You're under the car.
You try to put torque on a bull.
You're moving around.
It won't stop moving.
You get caught on the jack.
You get like, I've never used my arms.
Have you ever done it?
Not in a creeper in your back?
Can you still move yourself?
Cause you're trying to pull in something so hard
and you drag your ass.
I've lifted myself.
Same thing. We've all done it.
Okay. Go ahead. Sorry.
I fuck dude. I fucking hate creepers.
So she got me this little mat, right?
But it's like on the outside, it's this really robust,
like I don't know what you'd make, call the material.
It's like an anti-scrape scratch rip material,
very thick, nice padded.
But on the inside, it's like this,
like windbreaker material.
So if you, and it's a tube, but you lay it flat.
I know what it is.
So you push your feet on the pavement
and you roll in under.
But when you're torquing on some shit,
you won't move cause you just put your feet on the ground.
Oh, it's like one of those old toys that, you know,
rolls in on itself.
I'd have to show you a picture,
but just imagine, like, yeah.
Imagine if you had a sleeping bag
and then you use that as the creeper,
but when you push on it,
I think I've seen that on like an as seen on TV,
QVC type deal.
That's basically what it is.
It's like an infinity tube. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. You just keep rolling, rolling.
I want to go off the board with one that Nick had realized.
And maybe you don't think it was a tool,
but it blew his mind and changed his life dramatically.
He says, and I knew it would.
And so funny cause Corey was just nice.
Showing me some pictures of his backyard
and some, you know, little pool things, whatever,
but the easy a pop up tent.
Oh my God.
It's a game changer.
Like you can't fall around.
Instant shade while you're working.
Yeah. It's the best thing ever.
Yeah. And I ended up finding like a crazy deal
when I got mine finally.
Cause I realized like, oh, I got to get one of these.
I really got to pull the trigger.
And then Dix was having a deal like buy one,
get one or something like that.
Cheap at Dix like crazy, crazy.
And I got him and brought him home
and was like, what the fuck was I thinking?
I want to get one of these.
You need one of these if you don't have a car,
like just go get one.
Shade rules.
Who doesn't love shade?
There's nothing wrong with it.
I need a tool that gives me shade.
I can do that.
Harbor Freight has the pop ups for cheap too.
I think like, yeah, they're cheap everywhere.
Dude, like even for washing the cars,
like, you know, bring them outside in the driveway
and then put those up so that you're not burning
the soap onto the paint.
I follow, I watch a guy on like social media
as YouTube, whatever, it's just some real,
sometimes you use some positive in your life.
And it's like, Matt, Matt's mechanic or whatnot,
but he's like a guy in Oklahoma.
And he just does like, he's a mobile mechanic,
Matt's mobile mechanic, Matt Parker, Matt Parker.
And now he's at the point where he gets so much
people watching the shit.
He just does stuff for free
and like charity stuff all the time.
But when he's working every time, big job, boom,
puts up the freaking pop up 10.
And that brings me to my second tool.
I want to talk about that.
Most people don't have, and I preach about it all the time
because I know Nick's a clean shop guy,
I know Corey's going to shop tie a project table.
And a project table is a quick folding plastic table.
Absolutely fantastic.
Who wants to be working off the ground?
Get yourself a little one, get yourself a big one,
get yourself a four foot one that folds in half.
I mean, an eight foot one that folds in half
and you got all the room in the world.
I literally have like six of them throughout my garage
and that fold up in the corner and you bust them out.
Super easy clean, like plastic, literally take your knife,
just cut on them, couple drill bits, dude.
You blast through it.
It doesn't matter, but dude,
project plastic project tables.
What is that like lifetime?
What's the name of that company?
Yeah, like fantastic.
Everybody, if you're like a serious mechanic,
you probably should have an easy up pop up 10
and at least one project table.
I love setting up the project table.
It's empty.
I get all my new parts.
I lay them out.
Knolling.
It's called Knolling.
Right? Whatever.
Yep. No, I'm Knolling.
K and O, W, W.
I'm Knolling.
I don't like, I'm Knolling my parts.
Yep.
And I go.
And the tools sometimes.
And I start and then by the time I get to the end,
it's completely empty.
Yeah.
Yep.
And I'm like, wow, that's incredible.
No extra parts, no extra tools, nothing.
So, yeah.
There's a psychosis to Knolling
if you wanted to read about it, but.
I follow this thing.
It's called things organized neatly.
And it's like, you know,
the guy M539 Restoration on YouTube,
he kind of blew up.
The goat.
He did the S5.
Coming up.
Yeah.
So last week, we were talking a little bit about
garage organization.
Like I have a tiny garage and it needs to be organized.
Otherwise, I'm not, can't fit all my stuff in there.
I have, I made something in there.
I don't know if I'd call it a tool.
I'm sure somebody makes something similar to it.
But basically what it is, imagine like a section of fencing
that's like four feet wide, five feet high,
and on casters, right?
That's like a wide base, like a two foot wide base.
So it's like a fence on a base, right?
But the fence slats are just horizontal two buys,
like two by fours or whatever,
spaced like three quarters of an inch apart, right?
So it's basically like a slat wall made of two by fours.
You go out and buy some of those joist hooks
that are made to hang over like joists in a garage
or an attic or something like that, where you can hang a ladder.
You just buy a whole bunch of those.
All the big stuff you take off your car, like subframes
and axles and shit like that, whatever you can think of,
you just hook them onto those hooks.
Now you have something that only has a two foot
by four foot footprint.
And you've got both sides of this thing covered
with all these large parts that are easily accessible.
They're not behind anything,
but they're basically as tightly packed as they can be.
So they take up as little space as possible.
This has been like the most, for taking apart,
especially if you're taking apart a car.
Take a revelation.
It's a revelation.
I had built two of them.
Eventually I had to take one of them apart
because I just didn't have room for both of them.
But in terms of like keeping those bigger parts
organized out of the way, off the floor.
Dude, like simple, simple thing you can build
for cheap with some casters and two by fours.
And it's like, I mean, really seriously, like a huge deal,
you know, really, really good for organizing that kind of shit.
On that topic, it reminded me, I bought these one time
and they were so helpful.
So obviously in your garage, you've got studs, right?
But you don't want shelving to come out into your space.
And there it is.
They make these things here.
You slide a little board in.
And now you have shelving inside of a cavity
that you could never use before.
This is small garage stuff.
That's it.
This is small garage stuff.
Listen, you don't have to laugh at a small garage, guys.
I'm not.
That's why I'm laughing because I was like,
yeah, my drywall insulation would let me have that.
We don't have that.
We don't have that.
First real problem.
So that empty cavity.
Insulation and drywall.
My painted box finished drywall.
I won't allow that.
So now you've got an option to store stuff in there.
That's a fantastic idea.
In a way, it doesn't come out any absolutely fantastic.
And you know what's so nice about that?
It doesn't matter what the width between your studs is
because you just cut the boards to length.
It doesn't matter.
It could be 16, 18, 24, whatever the hell.
If you put enough shit in your shelves,
you've got insulation too then.
That's true.
MRT.
I don't know why I said a wood, not included.
I got wood.
Yeah.
It rocks.
It's cool.
Plus like a plank like that.
That's a one by six or whatever, one by 41 by six.
That's only 16 inches spread apart.
You can put a lot of weight.
Yeah, you can.
Yeah.
A lot of weight on that.
It's really surprising.
One by six piece of oak.
You could probably put a hundred pounds.
Think about that.
This.
So this was a game changer on that same note of what you said
for building that garage.
I know we thought about that.
Like is this all this empty space?
Because my garage isn't insulated drywalls, whatever.
The you know, like the wire racking.
It's like 16 inches by 34 feet in a set of wheels.
Fantagons.
Oh my God.
I have so many of those.
My whole basement is I have like.
That's right.
Your whole basement is like that.
I've seen it.
He's not lying.
Everybody down and like, you know,
there's even just like extra ones just all over the place.
Ready for usage.
It's good.
We got, I got pallet racking for my wheels.
And I started using all the wheels too.
You know, like if you're going to buy those racks,
get the casters, put the casters on them.
And then you'll put them wherever you want them.
Everything's on wheels.
Yeah.
You got to be.
Yeah.
Because if not, you should try to drag stuff.
You're trying to lift it.
It's on wheels.
Makes life easier.
Here's another tip for garage organization.
If you got the space like some people,
don't put stuff low and on the floor.
If you keep stuff up on legs,
like you're talking about tables and shit like that,
it just makes the space seem so much bigger.
Like waste above.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
If you start filling stuff on the floor,
now you got to move shit to walk around and, you know,
air rights.
It just makes it.
You need to use your air rights,
which is your vertical build.
You know, you got to use all the air rights.
Air rights.
It's different.
It's like New York City.
Air rights.
It's like maritime law, but different.
Like maritime law.
Yeah.
Very different.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think it's a.
Can I talk about a tool that my friend has that I'm like,
I don't, I don't get it.
Why you would need that?
I would love that.
You guys know about mid depth sockets.
They're not regular depth.
They're not deep sockets.
They're mid depth.
That's for.
For what?
When a for what?
When a bolt is coming through a nut and you don't have a,
a ton of space in your cavity,
but you need more space than a shallow socket
because the bolt is coming through.
I've never been in a situation for,
for a bazillion years and I had two friends.
We're like, I got to get this mid depth socket.
What?
But you know that there are industries.
Harbor freight definitely has them.
You know, there are industries where through bolting is like,
they have some specific thing where everything is through bolted.
And that's exactly.
I mean, I looked it up as snap on found something else to sell.
And then.
I think that mid depth sockets are for people who already have
all the other tools.
That's what I'm saying.
True.
That's like, it's a curse.
That's why I'm not into it.
And someone's bragging about it.
I was like, get out of here, bro.
Access the heart to reach fasteners.
If you have mid depth sockets,
and then I ask you for a tool you don't have.
You're getting bitch slapped.
Yo, yeah.
We're going to have a fucking 30 minute conversation about that.
Like for the first time ever,
I 100% agree with Mr. Shukti.
1000% agree.
Mid depth.
I mean, actually, I've never heard of it.
You take your mid depth and shove your mid depth up your ass.
Harbor freight calls them semi deep.
Semi deep.
Semi deep is a terrible name.
Yeah.
Semi deep.
I want to know some other uses.
You know what that semi deep looks to me like?
Go back to the other picture, Corey.
The semi deep.
Look at that.
The freaking quarter inch.
You know what that is?
That's just a deep quarter inch drive socket.
What the fuck?
Why do you need it?
Like, hello?
Yeah.
You want to know a cool use this one
that you'll probably end up using all the time.
It's at Harbor freight.
It's a Pittsburgh socket drive wrench.
So one side of the wrench is quarter inch.
One side is three eighths.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then you just pop the sockets on it.
Totally useless because you have ratchets,
but I use it all the fucking time.
Yeah.
You commented on it after we were using it on my BMW.
I use it all the time as well.
It's like a breaker bar basically.
No, no, no.
It's the size of my phone.
So the wrench and it has, it's like a gear wrench.
One end is three eighths.
One end is quarter.
And it just, it's tiny.
It's really slim as well too.
Yeah.
It's tiny.
Amazon got me and I bought it and I've never used
been in a situation to use it yet, but I think about all the time.
And it's this like thing that's about 18 inches, 22 inches long,
and you hook a ratchet into one end, you crank it,
and then it spins the other end.
And it's like a flat thing, like an extension.
Oh, I've seen those.
Yeah.
I have one.
And guess what?
I've never used it.
There's like a chain in the, yeah, something in there.
Yeah.
And that's why it's only good to so many foot pounds.
This is the long, never used it.
This is the long reach version of it and make a shorter one.
This one swivels, which is really cool.
Oh dude.
I use this all the time.
Who's with me?
Wait, I need to know.
Who hates non-locking swivel head ratchet, gear ratchet, anything?
This is the exact one I have.
I use that all the time.
Yeah.
I use it non-stop.
I don't, I don't know.
Really?
I don't have one.
I've never used one.
I'm not using my electric ratchet.
If it has a flex head, it needs a lock.
What's the disadvantage over a ratchet?
Like a normal.
Nothing.
This is just actually.
Why would you just not use it?
Gear wrench or a ratcheting wrench?
It's like this then.
That's great.
Yeah.
I can't think of why you would use a normal ratchet instead of that.
I, more power.
Yeah.
More comfort on your hand probably.
If you get the long one, it'd be great.
For long, like.
It's in stock at Seaconk.
But like aisle five, you know, when you're ratchets, just like a
fucking half a centimeter too deep to get there, you don't have mid-range
sockets because you're not a pussy.
Yeah.
Yeah, that would work.
You know what's a rad tool that I don't use enough?
Channel lock makes like a laminated steel ratcheting box end wrench that has
four different sizes on each.
That's cool.
Wrench.
Like, so like I have a metric one that's like 15.
What?
17, 18, 19.
There's two on each end, two different sizes on each end.
Yeah.
Because it goes all the way through.
So there's a big one and a small one.
Like a big one on one side and a small one and they click for direction.
So it's like, you got four sizes right there.
So you grab the thing, you get under your car.
Ah, fuck.
That's not the right one.
You got four chances to get it right without getting back up.
I like my odds.
I like my odds pretty good.
The gear head swivel neck wrenches with the two sides on either side.
And you can actually not gear wrench icon and you can actually, you know,
like on a ratchet head, the left or right is on the back of the head.
Yeah.
And that always gets knocked off when you're tight in there.
And you're like tightening on all of a sudden it's loose.
You're like punch, whatever.
Yeah.
These, the actuator is on the side of the wrench and dude.
Oh my God.
It's so I upgraded to upgraded to the past through ones where you flip the ratchet
for which direction and the handle is serrated that you push up that side is
tightened and then the other side is smooth.
So then one, the ratchet fits all the way over the bolt.
So like, you know what I mean?
Like is one side of it deep and the other side is flat.
It's super flat and it's super minimal.
That's why I liked it because there's nothing like much on it to break,
but you'd also like, uh, say the nut was like a super tall height nut.
You could go all the way, say to the bottom of it.
It doesn't like encapsulate at the top and there's no tab.
But you know, you just, you learn that the serrated side is,
so you're going to push on for tightening and then you flip it and then it's loosening
and it works fantastic.
You ever use the wearer stuff?
Yes.
Like that stuff to me, you know,
there are some things that are designed so well.
I don't think it's wearer either.
It's supposed to be probably pronounced with a V because it's German.
Yeah, but I'm American and I speak English.
Like Cape Verde when it's really Cape Verde.
Anybody watching World Cup?
Anyways, um, in any case, you know, like sometimes those things are gimmicky,
but that shit is so well thought out to quality aside,
colors, configuration, they're packaging.
Oh, yeah.
Their packaging is supreme.
Yeah.
It's everything you need in the smallest possible container.
I also love tools that come with their packaging.
When you unpackage them, the box that they're in,
you could just put in your toolbox.
Some yes, some no.
Again, it goes back to how well do they organize their blow mold case?
The question is, does it fit in my 86 same year as the car?
Tool box.
Same slide.
It needs to.
Briefcase.
Either what I'm talking about, by the way.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Let me see.
One side is flat and one side is deep.
Let me see.
Sure.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Okay, okay.
Incredible.
Heard that.
Heard that.
Incredible.
You know, you know, a tool, I have my toolbox and I've actually used it
more than that extendo weird ratcheting.
And I got it as like a joke gift at Christmas.
Gator grip.
You know what it is?
Like hard, hard to reach.
Like no.
Imagine a socket.
With a spark was all the pins in it.
And when you put it over, it locks on.
Oh, for sure.
I rocked the Gator Grip a whole bunch.
Random hardware when they were doing like that.
As seen on TV with all the hooks and shit.
Yeah.
Like the J hooks.
Yeah.
That fucking works for me for that.
Yeah.
Did I put that bad boy in the half enjoy?
I'll be 15.
Who could do this later?
I'm waiting for the pins in it to just fucking just start shattering
across the garage.
They won't.
It's a Gator grip.
I pretty sure had that thing since the nineties.
That's the best.
That's the best.
Yeah.
I use mine too.
So I don't know.
Pretty good tool discussion.
Do you have a Gator grip?
Yeah.
Of course.
Fuck yeah.
Yeah.
Of course.
I've got it in my like socket lineup too.
You know what I just think?
I think I'm missing like the 16 or whatever.
And I just got it in that spot.
Do you guys have the thing where you push the ass of it
and like a claw comes out on the other side?
Yeah.
I use it.
Yeah.
Mine when you hit when you write mine when you hit it,
a little light comes on right there.
Upgrade mine.
Dude, I use it all the time.
Not stop.
Here's another thing.
I've had mine for like a decade.
That fucking light still works dude.
You have battery technology isn't it?
Right.
How is it still working?
Don't talk about it though.
Fucking send a SWAT team to kill us.
Yeah.
But that little like Gator, it's not like Gator.
I just use that word because we were just talking about it.
But it's like three prong, four prongs that come out.
Claw game.
The claw.
It just, I love that fucking.
That's how I get my spark plugs out
because the sockets never work.
Yep.
That, pull them out.
I got it.
I got a smoke and deal and a Mac tool set like a spark plug set
like five years ago.
It was like some clothes that thing from Mac tool,
but they were brand new.
So it has all the different cars and whatever,
but like everyone has a magnet in a different place
for like that mark to a vehicle to get it out.
And it's the greatest thing ever,
like all those wax sizes and every time,
like just the best ever.
If you had mid range sockets, but not that,
that's where I would talk shit.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, I get.
Yeah, you're right.
But like, I've never met a spark plug.
I couldn't pull.
And that's what I'm saying.
You have the cool tool, but if you had the mid range sockets,
and I was like, all right, we need to take these spark plugs
out and you can hand me the cloth thing I have.
I'd be like, you're an idiot.
Wonderful.
Wonderful.
Well, you guys all have quite the journey back home.
We do.
I appreciate you joining me two weeks in a row, two weeks,
two weeks in a row, two weeks, two weeks, brick by brick.
So this will come out on July 3rd.
Well, this is actually already out.
You're done.
About two weeks.
Yeah.
About two weeks.
But what are you testing?
You can see your parting words, classical event.
Check it out on their Instagram.
I talked about it last week.
If you heard it, then you'll hear it next week as well.
Actually already forgotten.
I already closed Instagram and I feel like opening up.
Participation over perfection, everybody.
That's right.
Get out there.
Have some fun.
Participate.
Maybe break down.
You'll be fine.
Get in the car, go for a drive by yourself.
What's in your heart?
Rod dog, that cruise.
Yeah.
Rod dog, your mind.
That's it.
Rod dog, your mind.
Just you.
Get in there.
Do the Scott.
Allowing your thoughts in your car.
Thinking about this thing is going to break down any second.
Oh, I hear something.
What's that noise?
Oh, no.
What's that noise?
Oh, I smell something.
Oh, no.
That's not good smell.
Oh, no.
Yeah.
Sounds like a great time.
Sounds like a very active way to use your brain.
Me and Nick are working on this car in my garage
and things are not going well.
We're in like the seventh hour.
I'm swearing.
And I'm working on an axle boot with the nastiest,
greasiest grease of all time.
And I'm not supposed to be working on it.
I told him you could use my garage as a lift.
I'm not working on your car.
But here I am hours into working on his car.
He's ratcheting on something.
He's swearing, whatever.
And I just yell back to him.
Isn't this the best hobby ever?
Look how much fun we're having.
Like I waved to him.
Like a whole hand is just black with grease.
I love this hobby.
Oh, it's the best.
Campy beat.
Yep.
Campy beat.
It all brought us here.
It all brought us here.
Chuck, Josh, you were missed.
It sucks to be you.
Episode 400 in the books.
They missed episode 400 like four times now.
Sucks to be there.
That's right.
Well, anyways, I've got a mind to raw dog.
So yeah.
Play us out.
Which button is it?
Bottom left.
It's the bottom right, actually.
You sure?
Yeah.
You're not coming.
You're not coming.
You're not coming.
Come back.
There we are.
We're leaving.
We're out.
We're out of here.
Drive fast.
Take chances.
Raw dog, your mind.
