NSXTRA in the snow

Now it's dripping time. This is hard parking brought to

you by r100, Right? Toyota Scottsdale Arizona, I am

your host Jay fitting. I'm recording from my home

studio and Gilbert Arizona jam-packed show today mr.

Bob Marshall Bob chatt is back new segment.

We're going to talk about movies.

Speaking of movies. I recently, saw a man, three,

Quantum, a neum thought it was really cool critics didn't like it, it is tied, or maybe the lowest or the second-lowest.

MC you rated movie by the Critics on Rotten Tomatoes, but the variance is like, 40 something percent versus 84 percent for the people. And it's funny when it comes to

critics because people say, well, I never rely on the critics critics don't know anything.

If the score is low, that's what you say.

If the score is high and you like the movie, you say, you've even the critics like the movie. Look at the movie.

It's critically. Acclaimed.

Also Divya song on his back. Fatal car crash report

fatalities were declining before Rising.

We're going to talk about That find out what that really means some surprising statistics for you in which I can with NS extra, Chris cut, who is camping from inside his NSX.

He has the famous intersects with the NSX trailer, the camper on top and the Moto combo. That is the guy, all that.

After this word from four-wheel online J fitting here, I want to tell you guys about for all online for over a decade for online. Has been bringing the best truck

accessories and truck parts to enhance the appearance and performance of all trucks. And SUVs are dedicated to

providing an extensive range of upgrades that will match any make or model on the road the truck products cover.

Everything you need. Give your truck a custom look

and added functionality. And if you need a tire wheel

package head over and use the configuration tool, they carry all the major brands of wheels and tires will get off of there today. So visit them online at for will

online or call them in a one, three, seven six, nine two four, five one. Again, that's four wheel online.

The number four wheel online. I had kind of a funny thing

happened. So, you know, how you can go to

nike.com, you can custom order some shoes, you can customize

your shoes. So I went on Nike few months

ago, my sister-in-law has a friend at Nike who can kind of give us a hook up like 40% off employee discount so I figured hey, why not modify some Air Force Ones.

Now I've never owned her Force Ones prior to last year and I'm one of those counter hype people.

So everybody you know I need two pair, stop it in my Air Force Ones, Nelly I'm I don't need that.

Everybody's doing that. I don't want to do what everyone

else is doing, but Ferris, op. Who was a director of in a sex

book, 2022 bottom for the committee.

I'm always on the committee. You got custom colored ones that

really cool is that NSX, 22 on the back, super comfortable.

I was shocked. Typically I'm a Adidas Ultra

boost Adidas person. So I decided to go ahead and

custom order them. Do the colorway of the NSX.

It was white, gray, black. You guys saw the NSX the last

few It's all white now but the last few months ahead kind of this this grayscale color theme going with it and it was pretty fucking cool. But those are also the colors.

The official colors of One auto are white black.

So I got the shoes customized on the back.

I had OE on one heel and 0 on the other heel because they're only limited by three letters fast forward.

I get these shoes, I open them up and I look on them and I'm looking at the front and the ones I receive have like a canvas toe. And I know I would have got

leather so that was my first thing I was like, hmm, I don't know if this is really what I picked.

I'll have to go look and I'm looking at the back of this year and I'm like I don't I don't know and I kind of look at it.

My wife I go hey these aren't really just just don't say anything just make something up and I thought okay it's not that I'm going to upset my brother-in-law.

Brought him over like we paid money for it.

We paid good money for these shoes even though we got him on discount. And the customization was

important to me. It is important to me.

So I set up here and I thought about it for a while, then I called my brother-in-law here, I got a, we talked about these shoes discuss the wood him. And, and the way I could best

explain it is, if you have a favorite sports, team will take Football. Let's say you're a, I don't

know. Dallas Cowboys fan and you get

this shoes customized? In the color of the Cowboys in,

on the back of one heel, you have cow on the back of the other heel you have boy. People know when they see those

shoes are going to be all those a cowboy colors and then when they see the heels, I cowboy. Oh, that's a Dallas Cowboy,

that's pretty. That's pretty cool.

So, I broke that down to him like that big Bills fan ago, what it feels like Buffalo, it's Buffalo.

The spelling of Buffalo doesn't really work out that way, but when I look to the back of my shoes, instead of him having it, oh, a Inouye for One auto once you had 101. and the other shoe

had a a oh, No idea what that's supposed to mean, just a bunch of gibberish. So we all agreed that.

What he? And I agreed, I said look, I

know they're customized, another probably all sales final just ask your wife asked her friend, just find out if it's going to be a hassle. Don't worry about it.

I'll just keep the shoes. Now to huge, it is a huge deal

actually, but I don't want them to think it's a huge deal, so he says he's going to look into it. So we'll see what happens.

OE OE for One Auto on each shoe versus 101.

Was that mean in? AAA.

Oh, that's funny. Oh, I should have got 130 on one

and NSX on the other. I'm an idiot.

That's going to be my next pair. Coming up Divya sangam.

Bob Marshall and Chris cut mr. Ennis extra.

Mr. Cut describe to me your exact location and situation.

So it's a I'm in some vacant lot.

I don't know. I think it used to be like an

old insurance company. We have a lot of those in

Connecticut and I'm in the middle of a blizzard and I'm in my tent with my dog, on top of the NSX trailer and I am testing out my new heater. So I hooked up a diesel Chinese

diesel heater in the trailer and I exhausted it.

I ran the exhaust underneath than out of the trailer and then I ran all the ductwork up to the tent and I'm just testing it out. I have it all the way as low as

it'll go right now and it's actually keeping me really toasty in here and I have a couple carbon monoxide detectors to him for redundancy but it's snowing out hard.

It's think we're getting like nine inches tight or something, they're saying so I'm just hoping that.

Place doesn't have like a security guard and that plows aren't going to come in and plow me in there.

I'll be stuck but I brought tire chains just in case.

So, so not only do you have a half an NSX turn into a trailer and you have a camper on top of your NSX, but you also have chains for your tires on set in a sex.

Yeah, not exactly. I work.

I call them tire chains, but they're not actually chains.

They're called tire socks. They are comparable to chains.

I've watched. I watch, I did a ton of

research. Don't dance the road probably.

Well, they won't damage the road.

But so they actually work, just as well as chains.

They actually perform better for stopping, they actually stopped better. You can't go over 35 miles an

hour with them. I think, as soon as you hit

pavement, they start to shred up and so two chains.

But these happen a shred of a lot quicker than change when you get dry pavement. Also, one of my concerns is that

they might come off and like wrap themselves around an axle or something. So, That would be bad.

Well yeah I mean I guess theoretically that could happen with chains to but they're probably on the tires more securely but they seem pretty cool and I'm excited to use them. So I feel like your vehicle

would be incapacitated if that were to happen.

Yeah probably I have tools and stuff so I would get it off pretty quickly but I've also spares, I brought six of them so I have to for the trailer wheels to for the drive wheels and two foot front wheels. So you've talked about your

setup on our one drink Wednesday with myself and Wes.

Yep the listeners are probably mind blown right now.

There are still people and I shared with you a couple weeks ago a friend of mine from high school, sent me your car and said, are you kidding me? And I asked him.

I said how I said, how are you just now?

Seeing this guy with one and a half in a sex, is a dog in a camper. So I thought I would imagine by

now. It's everywhere but apparently

not. No.

It's still like whenever I go out and drive, I always get people like sending me pictures on Instagram and stuff that have never seen me before. And now I have the Instagram and

the, on the side of the window. So, so they see it.

They're like, oh, I just don't think it's awesome but they'd never seen it before. So, not everybody's on

Instagram, I guess, I guess not. I guess some people have lives

on, like, people, like you and me.

Yeah, somebody just sent me a message, a few minutes ago of a, he has a BMW wagon and he made it.

Or out of it and it's really awesome.

And my idea was to take the the mangled front half of the trailer and make a racing simulator.

I haven't gotten around to it, I've been busy and I don't really have the room for it. I have the racing simulator,

some new leader already. I just kind of have to throw it

in there but this guy actually put the racing simulator inside of his trailer which is a very cool idea.

Yes, I thought that was neat. Yeah, it definitely outside

himself. He did a really good job.

So this is your is this your pilot night.

Is this your test test flight with this setup?

Yeah, I'm just testing it out, seeing how how it goes.

I was a little bit concerned about how height, how hot the piping was getting because I didn't want it to melt the canvas, but I found a way around that I found some different material that seems to be working.

It is like a really dry heat, which kind of sucks Arizona.

And it's like, it's almost yeah. It's almost too hot in here.

So I actually had to crack a window, but it's also really windy outside right now, like, the tents getting blown around, and it's not an insulated tent either.

So So that leads me to my next question is there is there a thermostat on said, diesel-powered heater?

There is it's on the actual unit which is below me inside the actual trailer. So I want a wire that on here

but I do have a remote control that I can control it with, from up here but it's not a thermostat.

I could just turn it up and down the actual thermostat.

I need to wire up here. Notice Chris cut, run, hot, or

run cold. Typically, I like to sleep in

the cold. Old usually, but not this type

of cold the wind chill. I don't know what it is right

now but it's definitely freezing below freezing.

So so what happens in the morning when you wake up and you're covered with two and a half feet of snow?

I know you said 9 inches but then there's this thing called drifts for people who are listening, who don't know what this actually means. Nine inches could easily be

three feet. Yeah, couldn't some places,

although in Connecticut the the weather being outdoor Channel's wrong everywhere, we might even we might just get an inch or something who knows? So it looks like there might

already be an inch on the ground.

So when you come in Arizona I don't know.

I really want to get out there as soon as possible things.

Keep happening that like keep stifling my progress.

So, but I'll get out there eventually hopefully within the next few months. I know I keep saying that, but I

really do want to know. You're like the dad who keeps

telling his kid. He's gonna come pick him up

after soccer practice, but then, you know, show of the city dead.

Yeah, yeah. You're the shitty dad and I'm

standing there every night asking, you know, when they're the coaches like hey Jay you need a ride.

I'm like no, my dad's coming, but I'll make it.

Oh no. Yeah, that's exactly.

I'll make it up to you kiddo. Here I stopped by Walmart and

bought you this remote control car.

Thanks Dad. I wanted that six years ago.

I know some friends of mine are trying to find out where I am right now because they want to come Peggy with snowballs, but don't tell him, don't know. Senor ping on its like Pokemon

go. It's like NS extra go.

Yeah, in the mornings. I when I wake up and I'm covered

in snow, I'm going to actually I don't have the Moto combo with me, so the trailer is pretty much empty.

So I'm actually going to cook inside the trailer and see how that works out nicely right now. I'm trying to I'm trying to do a

visual now because I could just see you in some lat because the last time you told me about some lot, you're in that situation was different. It was a little little more

Bleak this time you're in. You're in good spirits.

Yeah. You don't have a flat and your

trailer didn't fucking break on you and you're not in the middle. Get.

Oh yeah right now. I'm not.

All right man. Well I just wanted to check in

with you. We got to get you back on the

show for a lengthy longer talk. Yeah.

You're a you're a fun person to talk to.

We don't always agree on everything but we always respect each other and I love that about you and it's always a fun conversation. Same here man.

Always liked being on and talking to you I liked what you were talking about earlier about that video, you shared about the mechanics. Test-driving the clients car?

Yeah. Do you have thoughts on that?

I do. So I can only tell you that.

I mean because we both have limited information.

I have limited information on that situation.

Okay? Well, I can only tell you my

experience is so I remember one time on the forums, there was a fellow NSX owner who had brought his NSX in for a timing belt and water pump job, and the tech had asked him if he ever wanted to sell his car, could he? Who'd be interested in buying it

and the guy just kind of said, Shrugged it off and said, yeah, whatever. But took his number and never

planned them calling him and he'd got the car back and about a week later, he said, you know what, I'm going to entertain it and see if this guy was serious and wants to buy it, maybe I will sell it so he couldn't find the guy's number.

So he called the Acura dealership and they said, oh, he's not here today, but this is his name.

So he looked up the guy on Facebook, the tech that work His car who offered to buy it and on the guys, Facebook profile picture was his NSX out in front of the Texas house, and the text friends on Facebook, were commenting saying, thanks for letting us drive the NSX. So that means this guy had

actually the tech had taken the customers NSX home and was letting people drive it and that's really messed up in the guy was on the form, saying what should I do?

And I said I was telling him he should demand that nc1 or go on the news sinkhole, I'm five. But I, I don't know.

I mean, as far as taking people's cars and driving them, I mean, it's if you're a mechanic and you work on my scars, it's going to be hard not to get on it.

And I had a good friend of mine, who would take care of people's Collections. And he used to call me up and

say, hey, I have this R8, V10, plus, and you need to drive one because I didn't know any new, I had never driven one and I said, yeah. Okay.

We never did anything. And then about a month later, he

called me again and said, hey, I Of this V10 plus here.

Again, come for a ride. So I said, okay, so I went for a

ride and he let me drive it and it was actually owned by a 75 year old woman. Now he had no business letting

me drive this clients car and I drove it and I got on it, you know? And I've, who I wouldn't say.

No yeah inaudible. Right.

But that kind of stuff just happens.

I guess it's a shame that the people's engine broke and I think the fact that they have footage of it is definitely going to help their case in Chile, right?

Yeah, yeah. Potentially so I can cover my

thoughts about it. After we hang up or I can cover

my thoughts about it, now I'm always interested in hearing your thoughts. So my thoughts are as a friend

of mine and he he knows all these people because he does all sorts of custom work super nice guy, about three years overdue on the podcast, but that video because at the time he sent it to me it didn't have a lot of likes and didn't have a lot of Ford's which tells me it's kind of new, right?

But at first I was watching. I was like okay that's screwing,

you know, these two you know service guys, on the service manager took this. This Woman's car for a joyride,

they noticed that it had low oil and they turned it in oil leak.

Something's wrong with the motor over the video and they submitted to Accurate. Accurate said, well, it's going

to cost a hundred, seventy five thousand dollars replace your motor, which I've seen that before because it costs them more to make the car than what they sold the car for ya.

What was there was that nc1 owner that has oil pumps replaced and that was 30 grand. Exactly.

And there's a guy right now on Facebook, who's you know, I think he's reached a settlement with Acura because it would cost more to buy the motor and install.

The motor that would be just to replace the car.

Get him a new car. Yeah.

And we're out of cars. There's no more nsx's.

Yeah, period. Like that's my fears.

Anything happens to my car. It is what it is.

That's why I'm trying to work on my daily more often but In the video, she claimed that Acura offered to buy the car back or get or subtle for twenty thousand dollars and she was obviously incredibly offended but watching the video she's a professional race car driver who works at speed Vegas or one of those feet places. This apparently was an NSX that

was used at one of those exotic car places.

In fact I probably drove this fucking NSX in 2017 is speed.

Vegas are drove a black NSX around the tracks here.

You blew it off. I probably.

About five years ago and they're just now figuring it out six years ago, right? But the thought is you submit

that video and you have not only technicians driving the shadow your car but there's actual overlay footage, a speed Vegas, that's going to be a hard claim to make to any car manufacturer.

I would imagine because you're obviously it's two sides of the story, right? Cars our cars are made to

withstand all sorts of abuse, but your Covenant from warranty you and I both probably know this on a personal level.

So there's you don't have to do much for them to void your warranty and if you're using the car on the track all the time because what we don't know, but the video doesn't tell us, we don't know if accurate pulled the VIN found out that they've never done their service with a certified accurate Tech because this isn't isn't in C1 platform in a sex, like, you have to be qualified to work on the car. Yeah.

You know it's not rocket science, I'm sure normal warp, you know, normal shops could do it.

But we all know the car culture, the Sure almost anything Voyager warranty because I have to believe that if this were a Ferrari Ferrari would not honor it as well.

Yeah. And that's my thought because

initially I was like there's got to be more to this story than accurate, offered twenty thousand dollars.

What should we do? Yeah, well they should I don't

know, I think for the sake of kind of getting rid of the situation, they should do whatever they have to do to appease the customer otherwise it's bad.

Press to know what do you think I cares.

I mean we both have actors well they make more money off service than they do their cars, I'm sure.

Yeah because the thought is I've seen them try to buy people's cars back before. There's a guy, you know, I think

Robert Lane out of Florida who made a big stink, he had an issue with this the rear Meant, when they replace the fuel tank in his 2017, he was playing Super difficult.

They offered to buy his car back and he said fuck you know I'm just gonna blow your name up all over the place so they try to make it right. The guy on Facebook right now

they offered him a hundred seventy thousand dollars for his car. He was the one with the thirty

thousand dollar oil pumps to could have been.

Yeah. It was a blue one or whatever.

Out of Florida. Yeah, you know.

So there's always going to be cars that have situations but I think out of all those examples, this one would be the toughest to try to get accurate to For, I know, I had, I had a friend who bought a blue nc-1 and 2017, and he leased it, and I guess as on his way home, something happened to the transmission, and he had to have it towed back to the dealership.

And they let him out of his lease because he was causing a big fuss. He then made him sign a

nondisclosure. Yeah, but he told me and I don't

like them anymore. So Robert you don't fuck me

over. I'm sorry whatever it was it

actually was it Robert? It was somebody who could

Connecticut here Marcus I'm just going to name people until I land. Right?

But yeah, I mean it's but at least the manufacturer try to do something, right? It's like we're, I'm if I'm

leasing a car and something happens, and they let me out of my lease and I basically just had a cool car for a while.

And now moving on to the next car.

Yeah. Well, he had a cool car for like

an hour. Yeah, thanks happened.

I have a key in my My Acura cabinet over here, that came from a blown up in a sex. Just before they release them

out. Here, they came out and they ran

it without oil for like six thousand miles in the car blew up. Yes.

And then they doing this for like testing, the Sue's testing.

Yeah, it was, it was before the car officially came out.

There's a video on YouTube of people, drink taking the drain, plug out about 22. REM like a Toyota pickup.

Yeah. And just rotten and it's a long

videos. It just keeps going with no oil.

That's like they remember those with the 90s, our early 2000's, the Castrol Syntec commercials where they drained all the motors and they would just run all them until they find out which one seized up. Yeah.

Yeah, it's interesting. I don't know the answer, I think

if I was Acura I would just pay the people to give them what they want to go away kind of thing.

Maybe. Yeah, because like I said, they

make more money off text and they do selling cars.

So I think if I'm this, if I'm this blonde, lady complaining about this and I make it a real on Instagram.

Maybe I don't show the overlay of speed Vegas.

Yeah. Yeah that's true.

Just show the guys the technicians at the dealership taking your car for a joyride. Yeah I don't trust I don't trust

that here. Dealerships, my friend Mike

here. He brought his NSX to a place

and they only have been a sex text working on it and it was a first gen NSX and they had the twin disc clutch with the mid plate and got to do the mid plate and the shield initialization and they didn't do it and they charged them thousands of dollars for the clutch job and he made it a couple blocks down the road. So the clutch was right so it's

like I don't trust I don't trust anybody working.

I was just so I could be any dealer honestly.

Yeah, I don't trust anybody work.

I mean I try to avoid it and do it on my nobody look.

If I was Jay Leno. Yeah, I'm not gonna get my hands

greasy. I'm probably gonna pay somebody

else to do stuff, but I don't. I just don't think anybody's

going to work out. It's human nature.

Nobody's going to love yourself as much as you do.

You know, I say that about everything, no one's gonna take care of your shit. Like, you take care of your

shit. That's why I don't pick up truck

right now. Yeah I have a friend.

He's a great mechanic. He does such great work on his

own stuff. Well I bring up something.

Yeah. Hey Tony.

Where are you at with that? Oh yeah.

You know I started working on a couple months ago and you know, you know, I got clients. Well, I'm your client.

Yeah, but you're my boy, you know.

Yeah, exactly. That's how that goes.

That's a pro and con of having a buddy that does stuff.

Yeah, well, and the other thing that goes all the way to having partners I just went half with somebody on a car and we don't exactly see eye to eye on everything about what we want to do to it. So all right, Chris.

Yeah. Yeah, that's talking to you.

Thanks for having me on. Of course, enjoy your night.

If you get lonely you can shoot me a text.

I'm a couple hours behind you. Yeah.

Hopefully I'm not a popsicle in the morning.

I hopefully my voice will keep you warm supposedly.

This thing is very efficient and it one gallon will.

Last three nights one gallon of diesel?

What do you have coming out for videos soon?

You want to tell the people? So, I haven't been dumping him

out as much as I used in my last three videos, really heater installed. I've been waiting for it to snow

out, so I could make this video. So, yeah, you'll see a boring

video of me freezing. So, this will come out next

Monday. So six, they probably won't be

out for a while. I'm probably going to wait a

couple weeks before I even start editing it to be honest.

It's all right. I will you help me promote it,

then fuck you guys want to know firsthand what's going on and then they'll listen in the look, here is bullshit about speed Vegas. And Yeah, honestly if people

want to know what's going on with me, they're better off listening to your podcast because I think I've always announce things on your thing first before you actually ever seen anything so he is in a sexual kiss Chris cut.

He's one of the most original and a sex modifiers that in that live in the modern day and everyone hates him because he's a redneck with one and a half in a sex is in a camper and a dog in a moto Campo. All right later, man.

Have a good night. It is time for our new segment

returning, special guest, mr. Bob Marshall AKA Bob chatt from

up above the US border. That is the kinetic Canada

Bobcat on movies. This is the first official Bob

Channel movie session. What do you have for us?

What is going on first off? How are you?

We're doing any better. I'd be you.

Like, I'm not doing that. Great, but I'm better now that

we're doing this. Yeah, we are going to take a

look at some movies, the first. First, the first one we're going

to do the only one for today. We're going to take a trip back

to the magical year of 1992. Do you remember that?

You remember 92, J? I do I was born in 1992.

Are you lying to me? I swear to God, I know you're

old as shit. So 99, we're going to make a

pentagon depending on what part of 1992.

I was either finishing up my sophomore year in high school.

I was watching. Oh my God, the Bulls versus

Blazers in the NBA finals, or I was starting my junior year in high school. Well, not today.

It's a jam cocky here for you, okay.

Yes, three. Well, let's hope that you had

the opportunity. Let's hope you had the

opportunity to see this little little, this little cinematic gem. Have you ever seen a movie

called Captain? Ron Captain Ron.

I have not tell us about it. Have you seen it though?

I have not. I just said I didn't.

Oh, I thought you said, you haven't talked about, you have to yell at me. Okay.

Well, he's a little emotionally unstable right now.

That's okay. That's okay.

I bring out the worst in people. I get it.

So Captain Ron 1992. Okay, star, he's two stars in

the movie, Kurt Russell, you know, I'm you love them.

Everybody knows and loves Kurt Russell.

Martin Short, you know them, you love them, he's amazing, whatever happened, right? So we don't time for that but

Martin Short, he's doing a thing.

Now margaretville, it's another show.

We can get inside another day with Steve Martin.

And what you're saying to me? Justin Bieber Selena Gomez,

isn't it as well too? So many people the movie, The

Chicago. Okay.

So I hold on. IMDb IMDb describes, it is about

it, Chicago and inherent in Chicago and inherits an old yacht. He his wife daughter and son fly

to a Caribbean Island and hire a dubious Captain Ron to sail them on an adventure to Miami. I feel like I've actually seen

this but I wouldn't remember it. So what happens is it's the it

is the what is your name now? I can't even think the Harvey

family so the Harvey family. So yeah, he get inherits of Yad

from his like Uncle that he hasn't seen in years hasn't seen the boat since like he was a kid and they're like, all great.

We're going to go down to this Caribbean island.

We're going to say lit up. The Miami were going to sell it

in a bunch of money, but then the Yacht Company appraises, the bow and realizes that it's a piece of shit.

So Set a setting like an appropriate captain that I called your son of the local and the local is Captain Ron.

It can occur Russell and basically he is this fucking character and I get it all kinds of trouble like he is he kind of like a loser throw away. They think he's a real Captain

but he advertises himself as such but they find out that he's kind of a phony. Well, he's not necessarily a

phony but he's it's they they're not he's not what they expected, right? And then basically hilarity

ensues and they get in all kinds of trouble.

There's an amazing soundtrack to by the way, you got Bob Marley songs. You ever heard of a band called

blinking in the roadmasters. I have not Okay, I'm going to

send you a song, please, dude. They have a song called

Caroline. Look, that up, if hard parking

listeners, look up Caroline by blinking, the Roadmaster.

Do you want to feel good song? That's your fucking Jam right

there, but basically he's, yeah, he's just this Oddball character and he just gets them in all kinds of trouble.

And needless to say, the trip to Miami, it doesn't go as planned.

So, this has been a staple in my house for years.

When I was growing up, he just watches at Christmas all the time. I don't know why.

I didn't rest Miss. We're in Camp.

We're in Canada. So you know what?

I what we do doesn't need to make sense you guys.

But yeah. So every time I see I love

Captain all watch. At least once a year.

No problem. It's not more.

So I only check out Captain run. You have to watch Captain Ron if

you don't like Captain Ron, I'm going to be super disappointed, but I will strive to bring you something better next time I want to try to find movies and you that you haven't seen.

There's a ton of movies. I haven't seen it.

I thought you were well, versed in cinema.

It's all relative. Well, I've got a for the next

time that we do this. I have a little piece, you know,

people say Americana, right obviously.

So I like to, I don't know. People other people say this but

I like to coin the term canadiana and you know, so little pieces little pieces of, you know, part of our heritage.

So is there a tiny Dianna? No, there's not so because not

only do we do have, can we have Cafe?

Arkana. I know that's your drink of

choice. Is yours.

Your caffeine a choice, isn't it is?

Yes. Yeah, I mean I'm a lot.

A man. Well we're going to be visiting

you with a latte episodes in the future.

I want to leave you with a quote from Captain Ron, is that okay?

It is. Okay.

So they're like talking to them and they're like they're like oh where'd you learn to? Where'd you learn to park the

boat like that? He's learned.

I learned that Park in the old, Sarah, they're like, Sarah is a gather USS. Saratoga.

Like a prawn you drove the USS Saratoga he's like yeah it's a we hit a reef off the to we hit a reef off the off the coast of Australia. The damn thing, ran the whole

Coast. It's really the Great Barrier

Reef Captain Ron. There's a lot in there.

I think you would really enjoy it.

I think everyone was singing really like it kind of kind of a Hidden Gem. Not a lot of people know about

it, but it's it's awesome and it's only apparently only 99 minutes. So if you've got the time make

the time, We'll make the time talk to you next time, Kai rate the movies as well. I'm going to rate I want to rate

them out of five count on five fucking stars, five stars.

Only because you see it every year object that was not true.

If I didn't like it, I won't watch it.

It's awesome, fair enough. All right.

It's Bob for Bobcat She is Divya song, I'm back from value.

Penguin.com today, we're going to talk about, fatal car crash

reports give you what do you have for us?

So, you know Jay, we actually spoke earlier in the year about how auto insurance rates are going up.

And one of the reasons that I brought up for why rates are increasing is, you know, the number of accidents happening and that's going up, you know. So we were curious like is Is

something that's been happening over the past two years because of covid, or is this part of a larger Trend?

So we found a really good data set that looks two decades into the past and we were able to identify, you know, where crashes have been happening. What kind of car crashes have

been happening and it just sort of Tells a story we've been telling about being safe on the roads.

So, pretty much what we found is that from 2007 to 2014?

Fatal car crashes which is the most devastating of accidents or actually declining before. They started to rise again in

2014. Hmm.

And the other many reasons for it some people say it's because of distracted driving because there's more Tech in the cars but whatever. The reason is this is really

interesting that people were safe up and moved to 20 2014 and then they started driving dangerously again.

The other thing we found is that nearly a third of fatal car crashes were caused by speeding. Now, you would think it would be

DUIs or distracted driving, but know, the number one cause of fatalities is speeding. The second thing we found is

older drivers were involved in a larger share of fatal crashes than younger drivers. You know, drivers, aged 65 and

above. That's what I was talking about

when I said eight older drivers, right?

But the number of older drivers who are getting involved in accidents are decreasing, but the teen drivers.

So age drivers aged 15 to 20. They were old and the only

involved in about Twelve percent of fatal car crashes in 2020, but that's an increase. And this is the third highest

increase. We also found that there were

more pedestrians dying. So, you know, I just thought the

teenager point was really interesting because we're kind of heading into high school graduation season.

You're a lot of kids are going to get cars from their parents and I think it's so important for parents to talk to their teenagers about Article driving and just staying safe out there.

And also The Pedestrian point was really interesting because, you know, we're all especially for a lot of gen Z and younger Millennials who live in cities or in places where they commute and they walk a lot. Like you have to be careful

because you could do an accident.

It's just scary to think that even the act of walking on the sidewalk could be dangerous to you.

But that's where We're at and we have a lot of listeners that do have school age children, some have many years before, they're actually driving some have a few years.

Some are actually driving. Now these numbers are there, I

guess they're they are a little alarming but there's got to be like solid data that goes into them.

Obviously the nearly one in three fatal car crashes is caused by speeding and it would seem as if that would feel like it would be obvious but You know, I don't, you know how they're defining speeding. I mean speeding is Right, speed,

limit is 65, right? So if you're going to 70,

technically, you're speeding, you're going to 90.

You're really speeding. Do we do we know what that

variances or it doesn't really matter.

Speeding is speed, speeding is basically going above the speed limit. And, you know, consider this,

you know, when you're inside the car and you're going five miles above the speed limit, it doesn't seem like a lot, but if you hit something at 65 miles an hour, you can do serious damage.

Sure. So that's the one thing that you

know, we don't often think about especially when we're driving is you know, it says, 60 of the the speed limit says, 20 miles an hour at 25. You know, what's the big deal,

what the big deal is, you could, you could crash, you could get hurt. And I think there's a lot more

conversation and awareness around on drinking or driving or not looking at your phone. Um, and while there is

definitely a lot of campaigning around stopping people's beating, I mean, you see a lot of enforcement on the, on the roads. Now they're catching people who

are speeding. Even on local roads.

I feel like we've gotten a little more comfortable behind the wheel when we're driving and that definitely contribute.

I mean it's fun to go fast. I'm not gonna lie but it's not

safe. It's not and as far as you know,

we knew that distracted driving driving is kind of a factor.

I don't know, you know where that is on here and I don't know how you even proved, it's almost distracted.

Unless you know, the cars have these little black boxes, you have cameras but it seems like we have far more technology.

We do have far more technology now in our vehicles, you know, in the last five years now carplay and Android auto, those things are in Probably 99% of vehicles.

At least you can buy in the States, but I think that kind of breeds Comfort comfortness to not really pay as much attention. Maybe I'll tell you a story in

2000 and let's see before I moved here in 2012-13.

I was driving the opposite way over by my house, one of the big Grand Rapids and I was watching these two large geese, actually, a family of geese, cross the street, They were crossing in front of me going right to left. And I noticed, another car

little white car coming down over the hill and I'm looking, I go, they're not slowing down. Oh my gosh, you're not going to

stop it is just before impact, I noticed there was a person driving in their head was down looking at their smart device.

Boom hits. One of the the keys, obviously

feathers, go flying everywhere. Deep the goose flies probably

150 feet. And then the person driving was

like, oh my gosh, I just hit a bird, they stopped thought about it. And then it kept going, I would

hopefully in 2023 that person. Now is not looking down and

we're I think I'm guilty of it. My wife's guilty of it, we're

all kind of guilty of doing this thing where you're looking down and up look down and up Split Second by Split.

Second, I just staring at your device, but I think even with these these in screen in card, full screen displays that manufacturers are putting Ting in, you're still an opportunity for people to be distracted by what's on that in.

And, you know, I'll be honest, you know, when we think distracted driving, our first off always, goes to the cell phone because they're everywhere.

And, you know, there's such a huge part of our lives, but honestly distracted driving includes every kind of distraction that. So that means people talking in

the car, you fiddling around with the radio station trying to change. It lost in thought by your

Turner you're turning around. Screaming at your kids, you

know, you're eating in the car. There's so many types of

distractions that can distract us from actually driving and focusing on the road, but yes, cell phones are the biggest Menace. There are other distractions.

The takeaway is when you're driving, you should definitely be looking at the Rope. You're right.

You know, because I'm thinking about the speeding tickets that have gotten over the years and never once Once was it from a smart device, it's either a conversation, like you had mentioned or be my bright. My was just my, my I was just

thinking somewhere, my brain wasn't on the task.

I was lost in thought, and I was like, ooh, There you go, let's be honest. You know, nowadays cars, come

with so much safety built into them, like they have to lean assists and the blind spot, monitors and brake assist, and all of these books, some of the cars, especially some of the more luxury cars that can drive themselves almost.

So what ends up happening is, we're relying a little bit too much on these on the technology and sometimes we could be taking the eye off the ball, especially when we're driving.

And you stats just drive home the importance of being safe on the road like yes it's really scary to think about oh I'm heading out to get some groceries and somebody I could hit someone or somebody could hit me and I could die but the reality is you need to think about this before and be careful and Vigilant when you're driving but also you need to take steps and start planning for contingencies if you don't want to be caught on the left foot When something terrible happens,

you know, one of the big things that kind of stand out to me on this has to do with this is July August September and October register, the highest percentage of fatal car crashes.

It says in 2006 to 2020. Fatal car crashes were least

common in the winter and early part of the spring.

Fatal car crashes were more likely to occur on weekends and during daylight hours. No, do you know if that's

Weekends, daylight hours in the same bucket or weekends during the daylight hours or weekdays. I'm sorry weekdays during

daylight hours because I read that and I think, are you coming home from work and you're tired. I'm one of those drivers where I

would always fight to stay awake just in regular traffic and it was nothing I could do about it. Then you have the blind spots,

you know what goes into that? So, the reason why we looked at

when car crashes happen is, we wanted to kind of question, certain assumption. So people think, oh, in the

winter, it's dangerous to the roads are icy, so people are more likely to get into accidents in the springtime.

You know, your days are short, you have a lot of bad weather rain and so people think, oh, you know, it's bad weather.

So we kind of associate, external factors with, you know, driving tragedies, but the reality is, Accidents are happening when people are driving in the summary, you know, those are the summer month, everyone's hitting the road, they're going on their vacations weekdays when you're driving into the office and daylight hours when you're most likely to drive. So the reality is your, you need

to be careful when they're even when you're doing your routine, driving in what you may think of as the safest conditions to drive. So that was the real takeaway

from this finding and that That Shook us a little bit because You know, I think as human beings, we want to we don't want to take that, that kind of a thought in our mind, like we want to blame outside factors that, you know, we could be in danger even in what we may consider to be the safest circumstances. I don't see a bullet point for

and it could be underneath another category things like drunk, driving, and middle of the night, because the assumption would be middle of the night.

But according to this, it's not really because it, you driving home from the club or some was driving home from the club.

Or maybe there's fewer cars on the road, which affects the numbers. I think a huge part of the

decline in accidents at night or, you know, drunk driving accidents after you come home from the club, has been you to write. Sure, like more people are aware

of right during Services there. Now, when people go out to the

club they're not taking their car is dirty either.

Going with the designated driver friend or, you know, everyone who bers there an Uber schoolmen Uber is available even in some The more report Connors of America.

So it's not just a city thing anymore.

So there is a greater awareness of not driving drunk or not driving at night. And I think that's definitely

brought those numbers down. We didn't include every single

number and I'll report. But right since I did the

research, you can tell you what I saw on this.

That exactly like that makes for a more interesting conversation as well. Do you think Rideshare is

actually contributing to things slowly?

Getting better or or maybe not. Well, right, Rick definitely has

contributed to the decline in drunk driving fatalities and that's been documented beyond that.

I wouldn't know if it's making things better or not, there is so many angles to this debate on the one that, you know.

So, let's leave it at that but I know for a fact that it has led to a decrease in DUI and drunk driving fatalities.

Good information. Always good like said you're
