All right, let's get into it guys.
We got an email here.
(00:23):
Let's see.
Lydia, thank you so much.
It's Jimmy here along with Carl.
little nervous to be on the air, to behonest.
I, do I just, I talk normally?
Like I would normally talk or do I have todo anything?
Those are two separate.
questions.
I mean.
You're talking great, Carl, if that's whatyou're asking.
(00:46):
I can understand you.
okay.
Well, that's.
Lydia?
Is this hot?
in.
It's a little hot.
Tony, warm it down a little bit for me.
Okay, Lydia has got an associate's degreein mixing, right?
In sound mixing.
So, but it was online.
Was it hybrid or online?
It was, it was an online college.
(01:09):
Um, it was a two week course, but I goteverything I needed to get out of it.
So.
the most educated here, so hands down.
Carl, you took a CPR class once.
Uh, I, well, actually, uh, I didn'trealize at the time it was a CPR class.
I thought I was, uh, talking to a womanand having a fair amount of success.
(01:32):
And it turned out it was just a.
Yeah, well, not having a bottom halfprobably should have been the tipper.
the big picture, which was, uh, that's onme.
story of our lives not looking at.
We can't see the forest for the trees.
Now sometimes I can't even see the tree.
Well, hey, you got, not to change thesubject, but we do have an email.
(01:56):
Oh, okay, great.
Yeah, let's fix some cars.
Let's help some people.
Yeah, let's try to really help some peopleout.
Let me see here.
Hold on, let me put my glasses on.
I can't, oh wow, okay.
Here we go.
one lens and the do you have one lens oris there are those two?
one eye.
It's just the one eye.
I got a cataract just going crazy.
(02:17):
Hold on.
I got it.
I got all right
good for that.
as the other one too.
So things are looking up.
Ah, yeah, they're all looking.
All right, hold on, guys.
I have a glass eye, as both of you know.
and that was my bad, I still apologize forthat.
It was, yeah, it was, it's an honestaccident.
You know you're not supposed to look atthe arc well, the welding of an arc torch.
(02:41):
And it's hard to look away from it whenyour partner is holding it right up to
your eye.
I was using it to really underscore apoint I was making and that was my
mistake.
Yeah, you can't do Lasix with an arcwelder.
nope.
you know, Jimmy, you know, when we makethat joke that you got a sparkle in your
eye, we literally mean it now.
(03:02):
So, you know, you got to make a good thingout of a bad thing, so.
Can we get to the email, guys?
I'm dying to get, I can see it now, I'mdying.
All right, let's see, all right.
They have typed, they have typed incourier, whatever that, no, it's normal
text.
It's a, yeah, it looks to be, there's the.
(03:24):
those of you listening, if you're going tosend emails, we'd prefer a sans serif.
It's just, it's too much.
The serifs just add too much stuff and it,it'll also cut down on our printing costs
because we won't have to print the serifs.
Yeah, good point.
All right, let's see.
It reads, holding for plane.
I don't know if you guys can hear it on myend here.
(03:45):
I live right under a flight path.
That's her college degree coming in.
Do you hear that?
Carl?
She knew right away is a plane.
yeah.
All right.
Hey, Jimmy.
Hey, Carl.
I'm writing.
Yeah, I'm writing to see if you know whatI need to do to get my car running again.
So we got a dead car.
I went to the gas station and I filled itup with the green gas.
(04:10):
I thought this was going to mean that mycar was more environmentally friendly, but
it turns out that it was diesel and now mycar won't start and I had to have it
towed.
off the side of the highway, where do Ibegin?
That's Sue's thing on in Illinois.
we're, oh, terrific.
But we're not gonna help with the Tofies.
I just hope, I wanna make that clear.
(04:32):
We're just, yeah, we're not gonna.
common misconception.
I can put in a little input on this.
The green is not environmental.
The green, you know what diesel engine hasthat kind of rough sound?
If that's something you desire, that's thegas you want to use.
You don't want to, it's really, it's allabout just how your vehicle sounds and not
(04:54):
so much how, you know, clean it is.
I mean, a diesel engine is different.
Carl, my, my niece lives out in La Landand she's got a diesel car that burns on
French fry, French fry grease.
It's a French fry car.
(05:15):
You heard of those?
Isn't that amazing?
And it's the only downside is, is when Igo visit her, it smells like French fries.
I'm just hungry the whole time.
God, she just must just constantly dodrive-thrus, huh?
Not, you know what I mean, likeMcDonald's.
as like flushing out that gas line, youknow, if you, if you, I don't know, I
(05:42):
mean, I would just pull the tube off thecarb if you have a carburetor and just
blow, just blow as hard as you can.
Hmm.
I would siphon.
No, you don't think an old-fashionedsiphon might do the trick to siphon that
diesel out?
The old siphon-siphon versus blow debate.
Yeah, here it is.
Once again, I, you know, here's my problemwith siphoning.
(06:04):
You have to suck some of it in your mouthto get the siphon started.
And I hate that.
well, sometimes you just need to practice.
Yeah, maybe you're right.
Yeah.
You know what we should do is, yeah, getthe fuel out of there, whether you're
blowing or sucking, get the fuel out andthen put in some STP in there.
(06:27):
That's what I would do and fill it up withthe high octane and take it out on the
highway and blow it out.
You know a lot about cars.
Is that your fish?
That's what we're telling Suzanne inIllinois?
Get some STP, man.
Put it in there.
Yeah, get some STP additive.
(06:48):
Get the red.
Get the red.
Don't get the green or you'll have thesame problem.
There you go.
That stuff will fix almost anything.
It really is.
It's a miracle.
A miracle cure.
Before we went straight, we used to huffSTP and that, boy, that could do some
crazy things to your brain.
I would not recommend that.
days, guys.
a couple Wednesday nights that we won'tforget.
(07:10):
Mm-hmm or won't remember or I don't know Ikind of remember it and I've forgotten it
at the same time It's sort of a yeah Thatwas when you were wearing bell bottoms all
the time remember that remember when Carlwent through the bell bottoms phase
I didn't know at the time how much wouldhelp when I really high-light my ankles
(07:33):
with the tighter fit.
I'm glad you're going with boot cut.
Lydia, what about you?
Are you a boot cut, straight leg player?
You know, I'm a, I like a high risebecause I like to have my boots cut.
I know, no shame.
I got a foopa.
I've had four kids.
Get over it.
(07:53):
We're all adults here.
together.
We're just human.
yeah and having kids is just you might aswell just throw yourself off a cliff.
I mean what it what it does to your body.
I mean my god.
Yeah.
as long as I don't think about it toomuch, you know what I'm saying?
Meow.
I mean, but Jason's a little, he's not theeasiest.
(08:18):
He's a tough pill to swallow.
I mean, am I overstepping?
I like all your kids too, but he is a fairamount of work.
well his left arm is the size of my thighbut his right arm is normal.
But he's like he's so muscular.
Yeah.
Is he still like lighting stuff?
(08:40):
lighting stuff on fire?
Oh god.
Please.
I can't believe you can even talk aboutthis, Carl.
This is such a...
get into this, so I'm just gonna.
at her.
Yeah, thank God I was there.
And you know what?
And, and I dumped some sulfur on you,which of course that you don't want to do,
(09:03):
because sulfur will ignite and then itbasically turned into black powder, which
it was beautiful.
It was beautiful.
And I shot through the wall like, youknow, like some 12 gauge.
Yeah, it was nighttime too.
You were like a comet.
Too bad it was September.
Fourth of July would have never been thesame if we'd timed it right.
(09:25):
that's right.
All right, well, so I think for all of youlisteners out there, if you're putting the
wrong gasoline in your car, whether it's aFrench fry car, whether it's an electric
car, whether it's a diesel or whether it'sa traditional car, get the gas out, suck
(09:47):
it or blow it, suck or blow.
Your choice.
that goes with so many things in carmaintenance, sucking and blowing.
Yeah, and if you can do it at the sametime, like Lydia, then, you know, do it,
do it.
And then put, yeah, yeah.
(10:08):
Well, she pooped out that third kid.
Oh yeah, she was actually jogging at thetime.
Wasn't it?
I thought that's what you told me, causethey sewed you up too tight and it pooped
out or what?
I don't know.
I didn't say pooped, you did.
I said he squirted on out of me.
Hershey squirted out.
I was being silly.
out, he's out three boys though.
(10:29):
You're going to keep trying.
No, I think I'm done.
I think they've ruined me and that's that.
We'll see.
It's up to God.
It's up to God.
then you're definitely having another one.
And then put some STP in there and fill itup with high octane.
And look, if you catch on fire, don't coatyourself in sulfur.
(10:53):
We've actually imparted a whole range ofreal tidbits today.
We sure have and I'm really proud.
It's so rare that you have a job whereyou're being of service to people and you
enjoy what you do.
And if I may speak for all three of us,this is what we were born to do.
(11:14):
I wouldn't want to be doing anything else,guys.
I really wouldn't.
I think we can do it a bit taller?
Yeah, I saw it flashing out here.
Great, yeah.
All right, let's go tend to that collar.
Who do we have on the air there, Lydia?
Who is it?
Oh, let's see, it looks like we got Scott.
(11:34):
Scott, come on in.
It's warm in here.
Hi.
hey guys, Scott couldn't make it, I'mScott's dad, I'm Lester Fiddlehicker.
Yeah, well, you know, hell, my folks gaveit to me, I can't help it.
No, no, yeah, it's Swedish.
(11:55):
How can we help, Fiddle Liquor?
How can we help do the liquor?
Well, this is kind of more of anentertainment car related thing.
I got my radio hooked up to Bluetooth.
I think it's playing from my stupid fiveyear old's phone.
Shouldn't have given one in the firstplace.
And it's just playing the worst music.
I cannot get that phone disconnected andget mine on so I can listen to some real
(12:17):
music.
You know, like Leon Redbone and guys likethat.
take this one, Carl?
Yeah.
Technically minded so I'm not sure I'm areal good choice for this one.
I'm a big singer in the car
car, and I don't know if...
His voice is just gorgeous.
(12:40):
It's like butter.
But that's, not everybody's the same, butyou know, I take a lot of popular tunes
and make them my own, and that's how Ipass the time.
But I don't know anything about this,these...
streaming, that's not really my forte.
the things I enjoy about your voicethough, Carl, is the way you sing in a
(13:01):
southern accent.
You always, and your voice has thattimber, that Kenny Loggins kind of.
A lot of that I'm adding now, but I camefrom a yodeling background because of my
parents.
and their work in the circus.
So I don't, and I've blended a lot ofdifferent styles.
I'm putting some Kenny in there, but alsosome of the Beyonce, Dre, I'm pulling from
(13:30):
a lot of different.
It shows, it shows.
And you sing with songs that are clearedand copyright free.
So we could probably post a couple here ifwe wanted to.
to.
I'm planning on going in the booth lateron this week and I'd love to put some of
(13:51):
my James out there for people to enjoy andcomment on.
I don't want to make a career of it but...
if you could.
maybe get some advice on that Bluetooththing?
Because you guys just, you're just...
I'll take that part.
Yeah, that's okay.
So reach behind you and take the phonefrom the five-year-old.
And just if you can, do it gently and slowso they don't freak out.
(14:14):
Toss that out the window.
Oh.
Keep driving.
And you'll find that your phone willconnect.
to the stereo sooner or later.
Yeah.
It's just the kid's phone is too close.
close.
I gotcha.
Well, he pulled a knife on me last time.
I tried something like that.
So I don't I don't know.
Yeah, he's pretty rough.
(14:35):
I mean, I don't know.
Fiddledickers don't have a greatreputation for peaceful resolution.
Yeah, that's true.
I gotta admit.
That's right.
Yeah.
Well,
keep your cast on!
Keep your damn cast on!
I'm sorry you guys Jason's fiddling withhis cast.
Sorry about that.
bit...
Yeah.
Why does he keep taking...
He pulls his cast off?
Explain that Lydia, cause...
(14:56):
He'll know and he smells the inside of itand it's freaking me out!
Sorry, plane.
I mean, in his defense, that's kind of aninteresting smell.
And I know where he's coming from withthat.
Well, you had a full cast after the burn.
No, you did not.
And they sawed him with that saw that justtickles you and I've never seen you giggle
(15:16):
like that.
My god, Carl, when you walked by in thatcast, I tell ya, the smell.
Oh my god.
And I did, I had no idea hair could growin a couple of those places, but you
isolate them and yeah.
Yeah, oh, sorry about that.
Yeah, God, first rule, we shouldn't talkover each other.
(15:39):
Because when we do, somebody's gotta takeit, when we talk over each other, that's
when we talk though.
And no, we need to get.
hand a stick to somebody and the stick andyou can only talk when you.
I'm sorry.
(16:01):
I feel like you're almost right on theverge of saying...
One of us has to start and then thepattern will fall in, just somebody start.
But I didn't have anything to say.
I'm just, I guess I'm just interrupting tosay we shouldn't talk.
I'm going to be quiet now.
I'll tell you what, I'll be quiet firstand then you two decide who's going to be
quiet next.
I'm being quiet now.
(16:22):
I'm so, so I'm not going to, you won'thear anything from me.
I'm, well, no, what I'm saying, but I'mstarting now.
I can't think of anything.
Lydia, do you wanna talk?
Jason keeps putting his cast over mymouth.
Oh, we have a caller.
I see the line flashing.
(16:43):
Here we go.
Lydia, you've got more info at the consolethere.
Yeah.
Okay.
I mean, your only job is to look at thetwo fader arms on the phone.
I've got three boys, okay?
We gotta cook.
a girl, fingers crossed on the third, Ihope you poop out a girl.
(17:04):
Oh wait, I think we got someone, yeah, wegot someone live here, right?
yeah, it's a live caller.
That sounds right.
Is that right?
Oh, there we go.
Got it connected, I think.
Hello?
Everybody's talking at this.
(17:24):
This is when we need to stop.
We need to trade off.
Okay.
Let new person talk.
I'm going to direct this a little bitbecause you guys are really stinking the
bed here.
New person, everyone and sorry go.
Um, so my wheel on my car is glowing red,and it's like that circle part on the
(17:46):
brake that's red.
I need help.
How can you see that it's red?
Are you driving at this moment?
No, I got out because I hit a dog and nowit's red.
And I don't think it was red beforebecause my car's black.
you said you hit a dog?
Um, yeah.
(18:08):
Okay.
Jimmy, you wanna, I mean, Carl, I'm Jimmy.
I don't, I'm talking to myself in thirdperson.
because we may have an injured animalsituation.
I don't know if...
Because I...
lawyer if that's helpful.
I have a couple lawyers.
Really?
I've been volunteering at the roadkillthing and I can check in with the, you
(18:31):
know, with the bureau and see if we've hadany reports out there.
Do you know what route was this on?
Well, it was by an elementary school, butI drove off pretty fast, so I don't think
anyone saw.
Or at least if they did, they didn't getmy plates.
Because I just kept going.
Mm-hmm.
(18:51):
Are you sure?
And what makes you think it's a dog, justto clarify?
Yeah.
Um, I guess I don't know.
It was either a small chihuahua or a tancat.
Mmm.
it wasn't wearing a backpack or a...
classes.
(19:13):
Okay.
Well, that doesn't seem, I mean, youshould have seen Carl when he was young.
He was furry and walked on all fours.
Remember that?
yeah, until it was nine.
Mm-hmm and never said a word his firstword to me.
I was the one who brought you back intohumanity
My mother used to joke that I was raisedby goats.
(19:33):
I didn't think it was that funny.
Yeah, yeah.
think that's pretty funny, girl.
You know, your voice, sometimes when youlaugh, you kind of sound like a girl.
You're doing it right now!
Well, caller, what I would do is keep,first of all, keep driving, get back in
the car and start driving.
That's number one.
Number two, it was the red, it sounds likeyou had red on your disc brake.
(19:58):
Is that, does that sound about right?
Is it that little, that metal disc that'sbetween the tire and the, and the inside
of the engine, the axle there?
If I were to guess that was its name, Iwould say it's probably that.
Yes, okay, good.
So.
also still could be a child's blood.
(20:21):
Well, we don't know and unless you usebleach, somebody's gonna find out.
Yeah, good point.
So what do I do?
Is it red from some liquid or is it redbecause it's hot?
Like if you put your finger on, does itburn you?
or staying new.
it's kind of on my finger now, I guess.
(20:42):
My finger's more red than it was before.
All right, well, one false, but that'swhat life is.
One false move and your life is foreverchanged.
Ah.
I would first off hide your, protect yourcaller ID number.
we have it here.
(21:02):
We already have it and I'm turning in it.
Yes, of course, if she hit a kid, we'returning it in.
I mean, well, we're going to find outbecause they'll, CSI will come and swab
that disc brake and then we're all goingto know.
yeah, Chihuahua or kid?
throw any of our people under the bushere, and the world has enough chihuahuas,
so why don't we just...
(21:23):
And we're really scrambling for callers asit is.
Yeah, I mean, let's see here.
I'm a little, it's looking like that's allwe got for today.
So.
this is a pretty darn full episode.
We got a lot done.

on in your world that you wanted to impartor any advice that people might have,
need, I mean.
you know, I'm not a real quick learner andpersistence I've found has really been a
great attribute for me in my life.
And you know, Jimmy, within the shop thatsometimes it takes a couple of times for
(22:50):
me to get stuff right or a couple dozentimes or it just doesn't happen and you
know it's just not simply gonna happen.
like pie.
You just keep going till it finally ends,you know, and you figure it out.
Yeah, yeah.
I meant the, I meant the mathematicalsymbol.
Okay.

I feel like that's a piece of that's anugget everybody can take.
And here's to Lydia pooping out a girl.
And this is
God, please.
I need someone to relate to.
Sorry, I got.
you need a girl.
There's too much testosterone over there.
You said it.
also make sure you get eyes on Jasonbecause you let too much time go by and
(23:37):
more stuff is going to burn down.
I thought I saw him just shoot by my frontwindow as I was recording this.
Because that arm, you know, you can alwaystell because that big arm is dragging.
I don't know why he doesn't run incircles.
He's all over the place.
He just slipped out of my sight.
It's not about I'm doing too much here.

eye, we literally mean it now.
(03:02):
So, you know, you got to make a good thingout of a bad thing, so.
Can we get to the email, guys?
I'm dying to get, I can see it now, I'mdying.
All right, let's see, all right.
They have typed, they have typed incourier, whatever that, no, it's normal
text.
It's a, yeah, it looks to be, there's the.
(03:24):
those of you listening, if you're going tosend emails, we'd prefer a sans serif.
It's just, it's too much.
The serifs just add too much stuff and it,it'll also cut down on our printing costs
because we won't have to print the serifs.
Yeah, good point.
All right, let's see.
It reads, holding for plane.
I don't know if you guys can hear it on myend here.
(03:45):
I live right under a flight path.
That's her college degree coming in.
Do you hear that?
Carl?
She knew right away is a plane.
yeah.
All right.
Hey, Jimmy.
Hey, Carl.
I'm writing.
Yeah, I'm writing to see if you know whatI need to do to get my car running again.
So we got a dead car.
I went to the gas station and I filled itup with the green gas.
(04:10):
I thought this was going to mean that mycar was more environmentally friendly, but
it turns out that it was diesel and now mycar won't start and I had to have it
towed.
off the side of the highway, where do Ibegin?
That's Sue's thing on in Illinois.
we're, oh, terrific.
But we're not gonna help with the Tofies.
I just hope, I wanna make that clear.
(04:32):
We're just, yeah, we're not gonna.
common misconception.
I can put in a little input on this.
The green is not environmental.
The green, you know what diesel engine hasthat kind of rough sound?
If that's something you desire, that's thegas you want to use.
You don't want to, it's really, it's allabout just how your vehicle sounds and not
(04:54):
so much how, you know, clean it is.
I mean, a diesel engine is different.
Carl, my, my niece lives out in La Landand she's got a diesel car that burns on
French fry, French fry grease.
It's a French fry car.
(05:15):
You heard of those?
Isn't that amazing?
And it's the only downside is, is when Igo visit her, it smells like French fries.
I'm just hungry the whole time.
God, she just must just constantly dodrive-thrus, huh?
Not, you know what I mean, likeMcDonald's.
as like flushing out that gas line, youknow, if you, if you, I don't know, I
(05:42):
mean, I would just pull the tube off thecarb if you have a carburetor and just
blow, just blow as hard as you can.
Hmm.
I would siphon.
No, you don't think an old-fashionedsiphon might do the trick to siphon that
diesel out?
The old siphon-siphon versus blow debate.
Yeah, here it is.
Once again, I, you know, here's my problemwith siphoning.
(06:04):
You have to suck some of it in your mouthto get the siphon started.
And I hate that.
well, sometimes you just need to practice.
Yeah, maybe you're right.
Yeah.
You know what we should do is, yeah, getthe fuel out of there, whether you're
blowing or sucking, get the fuel out andthen put in some STP in there.
(06:27):
That's what I would do and fill it up withthe high octane and take it out on the
highway and blow it out.
You know a lot about cars.
Is that your fish?
That's what we're telling Suzanne inIllinois?
Get some STP, man.
Put it in there.
Yeah, get some STP additive.
(06:48):
Get the red.
Get the red.
Don't get the green or you'll have thesame problem.
There you go.
That stuff will fix almost anything.
It really is.
It's a miracle.
A miracle cure.
Before we went straight, we used to huffSTP and that, boy, that could do some
crazy things to your brain.
I would not recommend that.
days, guys.
a couple Wednesday nights that we won'tforget.
(07:10):
Mm-hmm or won't remember or I don't know Ikind of remember it and I've forgotten it
at the same time It's sort of a yeah Thatwas when you were wearing bell bottoms all
the time remember that remember when Carlwent through the bell bottoms phase
I didn't know at the time how much wouldhelp when I really high-light my ankles
(07:33):
with the tighter fit.
I'm glad you're going with boot cut.
Lydia, what about you?
Are you a boot cut, straight leg player?
You know, I'm a, I like a high risebecause I like to have my boots cut.
I know, no shame.
I got a foopa.
I've had four kids.
Get over it.
(07:53):
We're all adults here.
together.
We're just human.
yeah and having kids is just you might aswell just throw yourself off a cliff.
I mean what it what it does to your body.
I mean my god.
Yeah.
as long as I don't think about it toomuch, you know what I'm saying?
Meow.
I mean, but Jason's a little, he's not theeasiest.
(08:18):
He's a tough pill to swallow.
I mean, am I overstepping?
I like all your kids too, but he is a fairamount of work.
well his left arm is the size of my thighbut his right arm is normal.
But he's like he's so muscular.
Yeah.
Is he still like lighting stuff?
(08:40):
lighting stuff on fire?
Oh god.
Please.
I can't believe you can even talk aboutthis, Carl.
This is such a...
get into this, so I'm just gonna.
at her.
Yeah, thank God I was there.
And you know what?
And, and I dumped some sulfur on you,which of course that you don't want to do,
(09:03):
because sulfur will ignite and then itbasically turned into black powder, which
it was beautiful.
It was beautiful.
And I shot through the wall like, youknow, like some 12 gauge.
Yeah, it was nighttime too.
You were like a comet.
Too bad it was September.
Fourth of July would have never been thesame if we'd timed it right.
(09:25):
that's right.
All right, well, so I think for all of youlisteners out there, if you're putting the
wrong gasoline in your car, whether it's aFrench fry car, whether it's an electric
car, whether it's a diesel or whether it'sa traditional car, get the gas out, suck
(09:47):
it or blow it, suck or blow.
Your choice.
that goes with so many things in carmaintenance, sucking and blowing.
Yeah, and if you can do it at the sametime, like Lydia, then, you know, do it,
do it.
And then put, yeah, yeah.
(10:08):
Well, she pooped out that third kid.
Oh yeah, she was actually jogging at thetime.
Wasn't it?
I thought that's what you told me, causethey sewed you up too tight and it pooped
out or what?
I don't know.
I didn't say pooped, you did.
I said he squirted on out of me.
Hershey squirted out.
I was being silly.
out, he's out three boys though.
(10:29):
You're going to keep trying.
No, I think I'm done.
I think they've ruined me and that's that.
We'll see.
It's up to God.
It's up to God.
then you're definitely having another one.
And then put some STP in there and fill itup with high octane.
And look, if you catch on fire, don't coatyourself in sulfur.
(10:53):
We've actually imparted a whole range ofreal tidbits today.
We sure have and I'm really proud.
It's so rare that you have a job whereyou're being of service to people and you
enjoy what you do.
And if I may speak for all three of us,this is what we were born to do.
(11:14):
I wouldn't want to be doing anything else,guys.
I really wouldn't.
I think we can do it a bit taller?
Yeah, I saw it flashing out here.
Great, yeah.
All right, let's go tend to that collar.
Who do we have on the air there, Lydia?
Who is it?
Oh, let's see, it looks like we got Scott.
(11:34):
Scott, come on in.
It's warm in here.
Hi.
hey guys, Scott couldn't make it, I'mScott's dad, I'm Lester Fiddlehicker.
Yeah, well, you know, hell, my folks gaveit to me, I can't help it.
No, no, yeah, it's Swedish.
(11:55):
How can we help, Fiddle Liquor?
How can we help do the liquor?
Well, this is kind of more of anentertainment car related thing.
I got my radio hooked up to Bluetooth.
I think it's playing from my stupid fiveyear old's phone.
Shouldn't have given one in the firstplace.
And it's just playing the worst music.
I cannot get that phone disconnected andget mine on so I can listen to some real
(12:17):
music.
You know, like Leon Redbone and guys likethat.
take this one, Carl?
Yeah.
Technically minded so I'm not sure I'm areal good choice for this one.
I'm a big singer in the car
car, and I don't know if...
His voice is just gorgeous.
(12:40):
It's like butter.
But that's, not everybody's the same, butyou know, I take a lot of popular tunes
and make them my own, and that's how Ipass the time.
But I don't know anything about this,these...
streaming, that's not really my forte.
the things I enjoy about your voicethough, Carl, is the way you sing in a
(13:01):
southern accent.
You always, and your voice has thattimber, that Kenny Loggins kind of.
A lot of that I'm adding now, but I camefrom a yodeling background because of my
parents.
and their work in the circus.
So I don't, and I've blended a lot ofdifferent styles.
I'm putting some Kenny in there, but alsosome of the Beyonce, Dre, I'm pulling from
(13:30):
a lot of different.
It shows, it shows.
And you sing with songs that are clearedand copyright free.
So we could probably post a couple here ifwe wanted to.
to.
I'm planning on going in the booth lateron this week and I'd love to put some of
(13:51):
my James out there for people to enjoy andcomment on.
I don't want to make a career of it but...
if you could.
maybe get some advice on that Bluetooththing?
Because you guys just, you're just...
I'll take that part.
Yeah, that's okay.
So reach behind you and take the phonefrom the five-year-old.
And just if you can, do it gently and slowso they don't freak out.
(14:14):
Toss that out the window.
Oh.
Keep driving.
And you'll find that your phone willconnect.
to the stereo sooner or later.
Yeah.
It's just the kid's phone is too close.
close.
I gotcha.
Well, he pulled a knife on me last time.
I tried something like that.
So I don't I don't know.
Yeah, he's pretty rough.
(14:35):
I mean, I don't know.
Fiddledickers don't have a greatreputation for peaceful resolution.
Yeah, that's true.
I gotta admit.
That's right.
Yeah.
Well,
keep your cast on!
Keep your damn cast on!
I'm sorry you guys Jason's fiddling withhis cast.
Sorry about that.
bit...
Yeah.
Why does he keep taking...
He pulls his cast off?
Explain that Lydia, cause...
(14:56):
He'll know and he smells the inside of itand it's freaking me out!
Sorry, plane.
I mean, in his defense, that's kind of aninteresting smell.
And I know where he's coming from withthat.
Well, you had a full cast after the burn.
No, you did not.
And they sawed him with that saw that justtickles you and I've never seen you giggle
(15:16):
like that.
My god, Carl, when you walked by in thatcast, I tell ya, the smell.
Oh my god.
And I did, I had no idea hair could growin a couple of those places, but you
isolate them and yeah.
Yeah, oh, sorry about that.
Yeah, God, first rule, we shouldn't talkover each other.
(15:39):
Because when we do, somebody's gotta takeit, when we talk over each other, that's
when we talk though.
And no, we need to get.
hand a stick to somebody and the stick andyou can only talk when you.
I'm sorry.
(16:01):
I feel like you're almost right on theverge of saying...
One of us has to start and then thepattern will fall in, just somebody start.
But I didn't have anything to say.
I'm just, I guess I'm just interrupting tosay we shouldn't talk.
I'm going to be quiet now.
I'll tell you what, I'll be quiet firstand then you two decide who's going to be
quiet next.
I'm being quiet now.
(16:22):
I'm so, so I'm not going to, you won'thear anything from me.
I'm, well, no, what I'm saying, but I'mstarting now.
I can't think of anything.
Lydia, do you wanna talk?
Jason keeps putting his cast over mymouth.
Oh, we have a caller.
I see the line flashing.
(16:43):
Here we go.
Lydia, you've got more info at the consolethere.
Yeah.
Okay.
I mean, your only job is to look at thetwo fader arms on the phone.
I've got three boys, okay?
We gotta cook.
a girl, fingers crossed on the third, Ihope you poop out a girl.
(17:04):
Oh wait, I think we got someone, yeah, wegot someone live here, right?
yeah, it's a live caller.
That sounds right.
Is that right?
Oh, there we go.
Got it connected, I think.
Hello?
Everybody's talking at this.
(17:24):
This is when we need to stop.
We need to trade off.
Okay.
Let new person talk.
I'm going to direct this a little bitbecause you guys are really stinking the
bed here.
New person, everyone and sorry go.
Um, so my wheel on my car is glowing red,and it's like that circle part on the
(17:46):
brake that's red.
I need help.
How can you see that it's red?
Are you driving at this moment?
No, I got out because I hit a dog and nowit's red.
And I don't think it was red beforebecause my car's black.
you said you hit a dog?
Um, yeah.
(18:08):
Okay.
Jimmy, you wanna, I mean, Carl, I'm Jimmy.
I don't, I'm talking to myself in thirdperson.
because we may have an injured animalsituation.
I don't know if...
Because I...
lawyer if that's helpful.
I have a couple lawyers.
Really?
I've been volunteering at the roadkillthing and I can check in with the, you
(18:31):
know, with the bureau and see if we've hadany reports out there.
Do you know what route was this on?
Well, it was by an elementary school, butI drove off pretty fast, so I don't think
anyone saw.
Or at least if they did, they didn't getmy plates.
Because I just kept going.
Mm-hmm.
(18:51):
Are you sure?
And what makes you think it's a dog, justto clarify?
Yeah.
Um, I guess I don't know.
It was either a small chihuahua or a tancat.
Mmm.
it wasn't wearing a backpack or a...
classes.
(19:13):
Okay.
Well, that doesn't seem, I mean, youshould have seen Carl when he was young.
He was furry and walked on all fours.
Remember that?
yeah, until it was nine.
Mm-hmm and never said a word his firstword to me.
I was the one who brought you back intohumanity
My mother used to joke that I was raisedby goats.
(19:33):
I didn't think it was that funny.
Yeah, yeah.
think that's pretty funny, girl.
You know, your voice, sometimes when youlaugh, you kind of sound like a girl.
You're doing it right now!
Well, caller, what I would do is keep,first of all, keep driving, get back in
the car and start driving.
That's number one.
Number two, it was the red, it sounds likeyou had red on your disc brake.
(19:58):
Is that, does that sound about right?
Is it that little, that metal disc that'sbetween the tire and the, and the inside
of the engine, the axle there?
If I were to guess that was its name, Iwould say it's probably that.
Yes, okay, good.
So.
also still could be a child's blood.
(20:21):
Well, we don't know and unless you usebleach, somebody's gonna find out.
Yeah, good point.
So what do I do?
Is it red from some liquid or is it redbecause it's hot?
Like if you put your finger on, does itburn you?
or staying new.
it's kind of on my finger now, I guess.
(20:42):
My finger's more red than it was before.
All right, well, one false, but that'swhat life is.
One false move and your life is foreverchanged.
Ah.
I would first off hide your, protect yourcaller ID number.
we have it here.
(21:02):
We already have it and I'm turning in it.
Yes, of course, if she hit a kid, we'returning it in.
I mean, well, we're going to find outbecause they'll, CSI will come and swab
that disc brake and then we're all goingto know.
yeah, Chihuahua or kid?
throw any of our people under the bushere, and the world has enough chihuahuas,
so why don't we just...
(21:23):
And we're really scrambling for callers asit is.
Yeah, I mean, let's see here.

There's too much testosterone over there.
You said it.
also make sure you get eyes on Jasonbecause you let too much time go by and
(23:37):
more stuff is going to burn down.
I thought I saw him just shoot by my frontwindow as I was recording this.
Because that arm, you know, you can alwaystell because that big arm is dragging.
I don't know why he doesn't run incircles.
He's all over the place.
He just slipped out of my sight.
It's not about I'm doing too much here.
