Speaker 2 (00:09):
I'll make for a really.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Do not include that in the intro.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
No, just the clip Pee-pee-poo-poo.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Hey Robin, go pee-pee-poo-poo.
That's going to be the newthing around the house.
I'm going to be in the morningwhen I open the bathroom door.
Are you going pee-pee-poo-poo?
That is going to be a realthing.
Will you take me seriously if Iwalk into the bathroom and say
are you going pee-pee-poo-poo?
Speaker 2 (00:38):
You're going to make her choke on a pickle.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
I told you we're not allowed to do that on video.
Apparently, according to theAirbnb rules, as long as you're
amateur, it doesn't matter, aslong as you're not.
What is the definition ofamateur and professional?
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Well, it's a different tab on Pornhub.
That's all I know.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
I think it's more that it's oh wait, we need your
help.
Or Amanda, we need your help.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Can you open up Pornhub?
No, figure out what's thedifference between I wasn't
going to do dick.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
No, it's that, that camera.
If you look at it and if youlook at it on the screen, it's
just slightly angled.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
What do you mean?
Slightly angled Like, not level, exactly.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Not straight, just like apparently this amateur
section of it's about to be.
No, so there's a little dialthat makes that whole ball loose
.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Title of my sex tape no, you gotta loosen the ball,
you gotta twist the balls twistno no, the other way.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Lefty lucy, righty tighty, lefty lucy, there you go
, and now you'll see, yeah andthen, that all swivels and then
or a sense of fucking level bythe looks of it that's more
seahawks I like this.
This looks very legitimate no,it looks better.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Actually, it does look better.
See, look at it down there, itlooks better.
Yeah, I can see it on thescreen Damn, I made you guys
look better no.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
You emphasized my gut .
Yeah, I wear black and hides alot of it.
I mean, I can't tell I'msitting so far away from it.
Start from the beginning.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
So three years ago I approached g who was making
farmville videos on youtube.
No, it wasn't farmville.
No, it's farming simulator.
Same thing, because you got meto buy a computer to get you to
buy a computer.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
What a great decision that ended up being.
It was probably one of the bestdecisions you ever made.
You didn't sink any money intothat program.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
No, it was actually fairly cheap, but it's old and
slow now.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
You actually still have the same computer, yeah,
and you've never done anythingto it.
I put in another 8 gigabytes ofRAM.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
That's it.
That's it.
This is the post, or pre-show.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Have you ever watched our show?
Would you like a microphone tojoin in on this conversation?
We should.
Then I suggest that you quietdown.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
I'm not giving you a microphone.
Why not?
That's sexist.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Giving her a microphone because she's a woman
would be sexist.
I'm just not giving her amicrophone period.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Look, you've got to specify these things.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Did it just tilt even no, no it still looks fine from
our angle.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Why?
Speaker 1 (03:30):
does it look good there?
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
This looks really uncomfortable how I'm sitting it
does, god damn it yeah, it'stoo much what is it with air and
bmbs that just make amateursout of people?
Speaker 1 (03:48):
There's rules against this.
Okay, so my original questionearlier is what is the
difference between amateur andprofessional?
Your answer was not correct.
It's just a different tab onPornhub.
If I'm not mistaken, thedifference is paid and not paid.
So my question becomes becomesare we amateurs or professionals
at this?
We have been paid.
(04:08):
Is this a professional podcast?
We're doing charity work.
No, charity work is what thisis like.
Make a wisp foundation no thatis what having you on this show
is.
I get a subsidy from thegovernment by having you as a
co-host.
They give me a tax break at theend of the year.
(04:30):
This is going to be an open micsession.
This isn't going to be an openmic session.
Is what this is?
Oh, do you know?
(04:51):
Drafts have 21 inch tongues.
Yes, I do.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
And they use them to clean their ears.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Among other things.
I don't know what does a ghostwear when it's raining?
That's right on Robin's level,like I can hear her in the back.
So Robin's got this weird thingwhere she will come to me with
a joke and I hear her in likethe other room crying, laughing,
like just, and she comes to meand she sends me a video or she
(05:23):
comes and tells me the joke andit's like a two at best.
No, it's not, it's a funny.
It's a funny to you.
Like Boots was like a solidthree, she's treating it like a
nine.
Why are you sweating?
Speaker 2 (05:47):
It's hot and I'm intoxicated.
I drink like two or three timesa year.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
You're not allowed to say that you were.
You have to.
You have to say that you wereof sound body and mind before
this production could start andalso say you were over the age
of 18.
There's insurance purposes forthis.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
I am over the age of 18.
Don't worry, but I've mixedbeer, a beer.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Let's make this so bodily clear A beer, a beer, a
beer, a beer, a rum and coke.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
A rum and coke and Bailey's, and now another rum
and coke.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
That's a weird combination that's not going to
sit well with your stomach.
I'm glad you brought Tums Metoo.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
But we better make this episode quick, because
they're at the trailer.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Yeah, we were sitting down for dinner at Boston Pizza
and I said I'm glad I broughtTums as all this passed and
pizza got brought to the table.
I swear to God, I'm not 60.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
I don't know.
Oh, it's gonna be a stupid jokeready.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
No, she's looking up the definition Between amateur
and professional porn.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
For those of you at home Listening to this, if this
makes the episode.
Oh yeah, quaff, how does a duckfart With his?
Speaker 2 (07:02):
ass quaff, quack, quack With his ass quack.
How does a duck fart With hisass quack, quack, quack.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Quack, ass, quack, ass, quack.
So.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Hey, shouldn't we be like those people that bump mics
after shitty jokes?
Speaker 1 (07:16):
No, I'm not going to sing.
That's not even a joke.
It's not that funny.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Mrs Plain guy is like dying over in the corner.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
So for those of you that can't pick up the
background noise and I'm verycurious to how much background
noise picks up, and it's goingto be not enough, unfortunately
but you have my wife and G'sgirlfriend sitting opposite each
other and letting out terriblejokes, sharing them and
absolutely cracking each otherup with third grade like third
(07:46):
grade level jokes.
Like you?
No, it's.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
At least that's kind of towing related.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
It's definitely towing related.
It's still terrible, but it oftowing related it's, it's
definitely towing related.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
It's still terrible, but it's towing related, I mean.
It always baffles me when a 30year old guy gets a flat tire
and he'll wait three hours for a20 year old to come change his
tire yo, in all fairness, Iwould, right now, right now,
like I'm no, but not even justlike right.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
I'm at the point in my life that I think that if I
got a flat with the tools that,like Dodge provides which I'm
pretty sure I have removed frommy truck to make room for other
things that if I get a flat tiretoo, I'm calling a tow truck.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Really.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
I've got the impact on my truck.
It's not so bad, yeah, but likewithout the impact.
If you're just talking likelegit tools that come on the
vehicle, fuck, I've caught a towtruck.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Why would I refuse the call?
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Because it was a 30 year old person.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
No, half the time the spare tires don't come down out
of the back.
Well, that's fair.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
I'm just not changing it.
Dodge Caravan To.
I'm just not changing dodgecaravan toe.
Yeah, yeah, dodge caravan.
It's under the front middle.
I don't care if you swear, youservice that thing weekly.
I am telling you because I'mnot dropping that thing on the
side of the highway like that'sjust poor engineering poor
engineering.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
I had to change a tire.
I was on one of those new uhram rebels and he had the spare
tire mounted in the bed of thetruck, up on like a headache.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Rock nice yeah did you still reject that one too?
Speaker 2 (09:32):
no, I did not, um, I can't remember.
I ended up towing it, though,because his bed was full of like
camping stuff and he had hisfamily with him and he didn't
want to empty his bed, for me toclimb up into the bed to remove
the spare tire jesus christ,but it's easier to remove the
whole family and put them in atow truck.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Yeah, I um, when we did a trip to the east coast, I
had an f-150 with the spare tiremounted under the back and we
purposely, uh, tried to drop itabout a week before we left and
it was seized, so we cut it offand mounted it to my back rack,
like strapped it to the backrack for the chip, because I'm
not going to the east coast witha spare tire.
Um, a lot of people yeah, Inever look at those damn things
(10:10):
no like whoever thought it was agood engineering idea that
we're going to mount a tireunderneath a vehicle in canadian
winters with salt andeverything else and go.
That should hold up real well,like maybe in florida, like
those pickup trucks, I'm sure inflorida they drop real easy.
I mean salt water is probablyanother issue, but yeah but I
don't know who the engineers arethat do it, but they're idiots
(10:31):
without even a cover like you,just drop some of them have that
plastic cover.
Like the dodge, caravans havethat plastic cover.
Well, they have to.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
That's the only thing that holds the little
cocksuckers up in there.
It's the cover.
You got to get it out and thenyou got to bend the metal piece
around that's seized up.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Yeah, are the ones that, like they're spring-loaded
, that you have to close.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Five ones that aren't even springs anymore, because
they're just seized open or shutyep, so the last time we see
each other was a year ago uh,welcome to the towing life
podcast, where the ditches aredeep, the trucks are, but the
drivers are not.

remission Bl tube, kindseriously, I can drive I had a
beer, maybe two and maybe twoturns into three, maybe no, no,
no, it was nowhere near morethan two.
(19:57):
And then we do our meet andgreets, and then we do our
banquets and all that, and thenall bets are off.
I mean, I mean I'm here for agood time, not a long time.
Um, I'm very disappointed.
You almost make you sound likean alcoholic, like I'm no longer
sober.
Well, you're not right now.
I'm borderline sober right now.
All right, I could, we could doa dui test right here.
(20:18):
I guarantee you, I beat youprobably.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
I don't even know how to do the alphabet forward, so
backwards, that's fair.
Or stand on one foot and rub mynose and rub my belly in the
opposite directions, or whateveryou got to do, pat your head
and rub your belly.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Tap your head and pat your belly.
Um, but no, we did bowling, um,the girls did phenomenally well
.
I had a nice little bet with mywife, um, where I had her by
nine pins going into the seventhand I made her a deal that I'd
better $20.
I could beat her with my lefthand for the rest of the game
and you were already in the leadat that point by nine pins
(20:55):
going to a left hand.
I went sewer, sewer, directlyafter.
Like that was the levelingmoment, like that pretty much
made it almost square, yeah, andthen you got a strike right it
a little square.
Well, that's because I'm good,that's because she bet against
me and I had something to prove.
There is nothing that motivatesme more than trying to prove my
wife wrong on something but whydo you always have to prove
your wife wrong?
Speaker 2 (21:17):
well, we all knew that he's a dick.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
But there's one thing there seriously needs to be
like just a mic in the middlehere that can pick them up,
because yes, however, so I'vealways had this argument with
her yes, right, because she'salways said, well, you should
stand up for yourself.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
And I was like all right, so I always stand up to
myself, but it's with her, standup to yourself no, like you
should really stand up toyourself.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
If yourself is telling me self, you're not a
very good, you need to stand upto yourself.
No, like you should reallystand up to yourself.
If yourself is telling me self,you're not a very good, you
need to stand up to yourself andtell yourself like you gotta
stand up for yourself, okay, andthen you stand up to her and
she kicks you down with it yeah,yeah, that's what I'm doing,
dude.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
You remember I'm in your corner already.
You don't need to like try tobelittle me to stand up for
yourself, type.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Oh stand up to me.
Well, I'm sure she told you tostand up to me before.
Yes, she has a hundred yeah,multiple times.
I agree with her.
Yeah, you should.
Yeah, but don't you dare don'tstart recording on sundays.
(22:19):
That's pretty fair he did tellme that he stopped me.
He said, look, there's no moregonna be late night sundays
because I started a job.
And I said, okay, I'll see yousunday at 9 pm and he went okay,
sounds good I did not.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Yeah, no, you're the ones like oh, yeah, you'll be
fine.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
No, and this was the perfect case.
And look at what happened thenext week.
We are recording on a thursdaynight.
Wow, I'm early, I am yeah, okay, no, that's why we're going to
record again this week.
Oh, we're recording again, Idon't know.
We're going to try to.
I think it'd be fun to.
If you haven't picked up onthis, the toe show hasn't
started yet.
(22:57):
No, so we are recording.
At the time of recording, weare Thursday night, it's Friday
and Saturday.
We have decided to get up here,not really early.
We always come up on theThursday, um, and kind of meet
up the night before, have somefun, do our I call this our
annual Christmas party.
This is the towing lifeChristmas party.
It's the one time we can gettogether, have fun, let loose,
uh, plan on doing more of ittomorrow and then possibly some
(23:17):
of it on Saturday.
Saturday, we'll have to plan,but Saturday would be a good
night to do another recording.
After the tow show Tomorrownight we'll do the bonfire and
the whatnot.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
We can't have a bonfire.
It's in a ring, a campfire.
It's not a bonfire.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
You can pile skids around a fire ring.
I've done it before.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Yeah, but they're not going to like that.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
There's like three people in the campsite who's not
going to like that.
There's like three people inthe campsite who's not going to
like it.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Who's not going to like it?
Fair, there is no one workingthere after six o'clock.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Exactly, we can have a bonfire like of the neighbor's
trailer.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Yeah, we'll have to just put my awning in.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Okay, we don't have to go that big.
We're going to move the firing.
Oh, okay, yeah, we got.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
I didn't bring my chains off.
I didn't think we were going tohave to use that this weekend,
but here we are.
Do you have a handsaw?
No, oh, I got a littleLeatherman.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
It's got a saw on it.
I can't wait to see G with thelittle pocket knife just sitting
there cutting at the tree andtrying to get the tree to go
down.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
I got a chain and a one-ton.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
We could do some real dumb shit in that campsite.
I tell you it is gonna get ugly, yeah, um.
So no, we're here for theannual 2024 pta auto show in
kitchener at bingman's um.
This year, again, we started.
We decided to not do the hotelcorrect because their prices, as
much as they have been a greathost of the toe show forever I
won't name which one becausemany hotel hosts have jumped,
like, honestly, almost doublethe price.
Yeah, it got, it got ludicrous.
(24:48):
So, uh, you came in and they'recamping right on the site for
anyone that's never been here,awesome campsite.
They kind of I think theypurposely put you guys I don't
think purposely tried to staggereverybody out.
No, I picked it.
Oh, okay, never mind, that'sthe spot you picked.
Yeah, you had any spot.
I wanted a corner lot, but like, okay, but like, like a corner
lot on the lake, it's not onlythat's a pond.
(25:11):
There's no hydrogen water on theon the lake side.
Oh, that's kind of shitty.
Okay, that's fair, but like youhave like people from all
angles.
I mean there's like threepeople there, but but.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
If the next person backs in which they will,
because they're back in spots.
I'll see a side of a trailerwhich I don't care about.
Seeing a side of a trailer Ilike they're going to be facing
me.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
No, no, that is fair.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
No, we're going to spend the evening there.
Tomorrow I'm going to fire withyou guys.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Are you guys allowed professional photography?
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Yes, okay, professional photography.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
There's no rules against that there.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
And amateur too, whatever kind of photography you
want.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
So for any of you that don't know, when I read the
rules to the Airbnb, one of therules was no professional
photography, for whatever thatmeans.
We kind of have an idea on whatthat means.
It means you've got to be in adifferent tab on some website.
Yeah, I feel like it's likeyou're not allowed to.
I mean it would be very smartif you were gonna do in that
line of business.
Let's say, just rent airbnbsand you have different like sets
(26:11):
and backgrounds and everything,and but is someone?
Speaker 2 (26:14):
really watching one of those videos for the set.
It's like watching nascar forthe racing.
No, you're.
You're doing it because youwant to see them crash.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
That's not true I watch nascar for the racing yeah
, you like seeing guys going.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Yes, and I read magazines for the articles yeah,
yes, yeah, especially thefoldout one on the absolutely
those articles are always myfavorite, but no, I uh.
Um, it's got off track fast,that's why you keep a sears
catalog in your toilet room.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Do you remember the sears catalog?
Speaker 2 (26:41):
oh, I'm like 10 years younger than you.
Okay, you're okay.

That's where I was going youdirty minded, twisted bastard.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
We used to 100, and my wife can account for this as
well.
We used to go through the searscatalog and pick your christ,
like you were, circle what youwanted, hun did.
You do that as well.
Yes, okay, sorry, didn't meanto disturb the color.
She's very in her zone rightnow and does not want to be
disturbed.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Can we show your work on the podcast before we end?
Okay, maybe we can auction itoff, yeah, oh no, we can't do
that.
Then this would turn into aprofessional shoot, right We've
got to be amateurs.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
We, oh no, we can't do that.
Then this would turn into aprofessional shoot.
Right, we've got to be amateurs.
We've got to be amateurs.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Okay, it can be under the table.
Cash Under the table, yeah.
E-transfers, paypal.
What's that other one Cash app?

line on this podcast.
So head over to wwwtowinglifecaforward slash auction, where
you will find the wonderful workof Mrs Plain and her wonderful
(27:55):
coloring skills, all of which,mainly, is inside the lines.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
What do you mean crossing the line?
Is that crossing the linebecause your wife's here, or
crossing the line because we'rein Airbnb?
Speaker 1 (28:09):
No crossing the line, because this is a podcast.
Yeah, I've already.
There's a spot you're gonnahave to cut out earlier and I
was gonna repeat it, but I don'twant to make you work twice as
hard, uh, to find my twoinappropriate sayings that you
gotta honk out oh, you know Ibarely listen to these when I
edit them now.
Well, I hope do, or this mightbe one of the last episodes that
we have.
Which word?
The R word?
No, it was not no, I used the Rword.
(28:31):
Yeah, you did no, I didn't DidI?
Yes, you did.
I don't think I did.
I think you did no.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
I used the AU word.
What you're mistaken.
Okay, Are we allowed to usethat word?
I?
Speaker 1 (28:44):
think you're allowed to use the.
I think you're allowed to usethat word as long as you're not
mocking it.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
No, you're allowed to say the R word if you have
donated enough money, becausethe Unsub Podcast, they say it
all the time and they donatedlike $250,000 to no that's not
true.
Autism Research yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Yeah, yeah.
I'm not going to get into thewhole debate about that word.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
They're all slightly autistic and the one guy, levi,
not Levi, eli, eli, I don't knowHis son's autistic.
He has his own YouTube channel.
He made a video on trainsblowing up and stuff, see, and
that's okay.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Like if you were talking about it in a sense of
talking about it in theeducational purpose.
I think that's okay.
I don't know if we're allowedto talk about it in the way of
making a joke on something beinga slightly slower or or you
know and, and using that as areference.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Well, I would never use it to demean someone who
actually has a learningdisability in the first place.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Of course not Neither .
But if you're being an idiot.
I think it's fair game.
Yeah, a hundred percent.
Ninety percent of the worlddoes not agree with us on that
fair and in a day and age of theinternet, I'd rather not piss
off that 90 percent of the worldthat feels that way.
Yeah, um, unfortunately it'swhere we live.
I mean, the world is a strangeplace I just live in my convent.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
I barely leave my property, so I don't know what
world you live in, but myworld's different than yours.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Well, you and your con, you can say whatever you
want to whoever you want.
There's only seven people inthe world that have any meaning.
Or say let me ask you, with thetow show coming up tomorrow and
this will air after it, so it'snot going to ruin it for
anybody.
Every year we have gone aroundand asked people a question,
something that you know madethem think why, why towing?
(30:26):
What did you do before towing?
What is a good question, inyour opinion, that we can ask
our, the guests at the tow shownext year, or tomorrow and
saturday next year?
That you think would gathersome interesting responses.
What, what are you going onabout over?
(30:47):
Don't know what she's saying,just color your pickle or
something she's okay, they'relike dying.
Can you use the word if she'ssitting eating a pickle coloring
a coloring book?
Like I feel like that opens.
I, we did not, we did not, butlike seriously, can we use the
(31:08):
word in the context when youwere sitting eating a pickle
coloring in your coloring book?
And laughing hysterically atyour own comments.
I will let you guess what wordwe're trying to use that's him,
not me I'm asking if it'sappropriate, given the situation
(31:29):
judging by your tone, that's ano.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
I don't think it's appropriate given the situation
no plus, you shouldn't betelling your wife that plus.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
I'm sure she's waving that pickle at me angrily she's
gonna throw it.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
I think her aim's right better than bowling.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Don't throw the pickle at the airbnb.
It's a bad idea.
Do not throw the pickle in theairbnb, please.
Yeah, home is where the heartis.
Remember that, and your heartis where right now I'm surprised
there's no live laugh lovesticker on the wall here.
What concern.
There's a heart over there.
There is a heart over there.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
It's a very strange looking heart and um at home is
where the heart is.
And can you uh read me thetitle of that puzzle please?
Speaker 1 (32:09):
no, it's very inclusive.
Yes, um rainbow beauty 500piece puzzle there you go.
You want to do a puzzle afteryour coloring book there,
captain, a um, so a questionwhat was the question again?
A question.
What do you think would be ameaningful question that we can
ask our our listeners or guestsat the toe show tomorrow?
Speaker 2 (32:31):
what is that's?
Speaker 1 (32:33):
what is your vice that gets you through the days
what is your vice that gets youtoday the best lesson I like?
I like that one, the bestlesson you've learned, like I
like that one, the best lessonyou've learned.
So in asking that, I want toask you gee, what is the best
lesson you've learned Best?
Speaker 2 (32:51):
lesson that I've learned Um that you're not
always the smartest personaround, that you should always
shut up and listen.
Talk less than what you or youshould hear, and listen more
than what you speak.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
You got two ears and one mouth.
Use it.
No, that's a.
That's pretty fair.
You don't have to be thesmartest guy.
Best lesson that I've learnedin towing is some of the best.
It goes along the same lines assome of the best towers that I
know.
Don't like.
Don't have to pretend they knoweverything.
Right, some of the best towersI've met are some of the most
(33:30):
humble people in the industry,right, and you see so many of
these young guys running around.
Now I'm king shit chest puffedout and all that and, and at one
point I'm sure I was one ofthem.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
When you're new in the industry, like a year in
that's oh yeah, I knoweverything.
And then you get humbled realquick and in between that year
to three year mark you're like,oh yeah, there's, I learn new
things every day.
Maybe that's not true everyonethat's not true.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
I have guys that have run out of four or five years
that are still can't be humbled,that just absolutely think they
are let their shit don't stink.
Their shit don't stink.
They are the some of the besttellers.
They don't have to listen totheir peers or or listen to
experience of other people.
They just they've got to figureout right.
You can go like, oh no, I didthis way, oh, I do it this way,
(34:08):
and it's like, oh cool, good foryou, good luck with that.
Let me know how that continuesto work out for you.
But at the end of the day, youdon't have to be that operator
to be the best, the bestoperators that I've ever met.
Don't pretend to be superstars.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
Sorry, you know, superstars, sorry a couple we're
gonna have to charge for thisepisode with your knees in the
shot, like that.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
I mean, I think if I get my feet in it we can
actually uh, put it on a patreonI keep wanting to like tilt the
laptop back, thinking it'sgonna move the camera up, but
the reality is it's over here.
Yeah, it's not a tripod.
Um, that won't work.
Tripod title my sex tape.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Um, that being said, no, did you watch brooklyn 99
before you came here, orsomething?
No, no, I don't know why it's.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
It's stuck in my head tonight.
There was a couple lines thatcame out and it just worked out.
That is a great show it is areally good show, but no, I like
.
I like that one.
What is the best lessons youever learned?
What was the one you had beforethat you had said something
before?
Um, you were unable to stand upfor yourself and you let her
override your decision.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
No.
Being able to stand up foryourself, not being such a
pushover all the time no thatwasn't the no, it was.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
What is the meaningful question we can ask
our listeners?
Speaker 2 (35:17):
You said one, amanda said one Immediately overrided
and immediately overrode you,and you went with it.
That you have.
Well, you said it better than Isaid it, because you're better
with words than I am.
You went with it.
Well, you said it better than Isaid it, because you're better
with words than I am.
You have two ears and only onemouth, so use.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
No, not your answer to the question.
You had a question to ask.
I don't think it mattered.
Oh Jesus, what question wasthat?
Gee, stand up for yourself.
I'm confused.
Okay, I want to ask our guestsat the toe show a meaningful
question.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
Yeah, not other than no I oh, my question was what is
the vices that get you through?
What are the vices that get you?
Speaker 1 (35:54):
through.
Okay, what are the vices thatget you through?
Nicotine Lots and lots ofnicotine.
Caffeine the caffeine andnicotine are probably the two
things that keep you going on along stretch as long as you
don't get into the, I'll have tobleep this, but.
Jesus Christ.
That took a hard turn.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
Well, it's pretty.
Once you get into the nosebeers it's.
You know those 24 hour shiftsyes, I do remember this story.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
That was after g didn't know how to retorque his
own goddamn wheels or overtorqued his wheels and lost his
wheel on his truck.
And yes, you allegedly wereriding in a tow truck.
I say allegedly because thiswas not proven in the court of
law with a tow truck driver whowas had open alcohol in the tow
truck alexander keys king campnice and he fell asleep behind
the wheel twice Nice.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
And then like wanted a tip at the drop off.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
Maybe he should have tried things stronger than
caffeine and nicotine is all I'msaying.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
Maybe that would have solved that problem.
Maybe nose beers would havekept him awake.
They're called nose nachos.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
For his 12 hour shift that he was doing.
Is that what it was?
Was it a 12 hour shift?
12 hour shift, night shift,though no night shift, though no
day shift.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
Yeah, seven to seven seven to seven he's falling
asleep and drinking.
We were making him a littlework a little late, because we
didn't get back to the shopuntil like 8, 8, 30 at night.
So you guys are terrible people.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
But yeah, okay, one of your vices?
Yes, absolutely, I thinkcaffeine and nicotine, if you've
ever.
Now you and I again came fromtwo very different companies
with two different, verydifferent like schedules and
work levels.
Right, I don't want to say worklevel, that sounds demeaning.
Speaker 2 (37:31):
When we worked together, every driver there
smoked a lot and we all drank alot of coffee 100%.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
That is the main reason I went to.
Black coffee was there becauseI felt terrible drinking so many
double doubles every day.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
Yeah, like I.
At that time I was drinkinglike four by fours of triple,
triples.
Like it was disgusting coffeeand I would drink like eight to
ten extra large cups a day whatdo you mean back then?
Speaker 1 (37:52):
what do you drink now ?
Speaker 2 (37:54):
double, double with milk and I drink one a day.
That's it.
That's it, one a day, one a dayin the morning.
Yeah, it helps me go, helpskeep me regular.
And back to the theme of theepisode g going pee, pee, poo,
poo but it was bad because Iwouldn't go for like three or
four days in a row.
(38:14):
Really, yeah, I've been like aweek without going to the pee,
pee, poo, poo a week withoutgoing pee, pee, poo poo.
Speaker 1 (38:20):
Well, pee pee, yes, but no poo poo okay, no, poo,
poo, okay, so setting myself upon a schedule and a routine,
which is so hard to do in thetowing industry.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
You get up, I make a coffee, I sit down at the
computer, I read the news, Iplay, my game and I shit my
pants.
Drink my coffee, drink likehalf a liter of water, and then
I go to the bathroom.
Right, I get flushed out forthe morning and then I'm good to
start my day.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
How much coffee?
I want to take a guess how muchcoffee I drink in a day.
I don't know weekday or weekend.
Weekday will be more becauseyou're working a lot more.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
You'd be surprised.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
Weekend will probably be more well, later nights
probably no, so weekday I don'tknow how big a pot is, how big's
your pot full, full-size coffeemaker okay, 12, it's like 12
like 12 measured cups kind ofthing.
Okay, uh, but I'll have a largecoffee in the morning on my way
into work.
It's a large coffee and ablueberry muffin every morning,
which muffin, I found out, isjust cake it has.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
So that's six dollars of bullshit you're spending
every morning out on the road.
No, no, bullshit it's fourdollars and eight cents okay,
but still four dollars and eightcents every morning, yep,
before you even get to work.
Speaker 1 (39:28):
So you're gonna try and sell me on one of those
things that if I didn't do that,I could own a ferrari right I
don't give a fuck.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
Yeah, thirty dollars a week absolutely you should see
what I spent on your wrap youshould see what I spent on lunch
.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
What do you mean without my wrap?
I don't get a wrap.
No, it's seriously black coffee, blueberry muffin every day,
that's it.
That's my breakfast.
There's no breakfast wrap.
There's no.
Speaker 2 (39:48):
How many cigarettes go along with that for breakfast
?
Speaker 1 (39:50):
I like one or two.
But so I drink normally Onecoffee and, depending on the day
, I've had days where I'd say itcould be three large, four
large coffees by the end of theday.
Maybe a nice coffee in there.
A little sweetness in theafternoon, especially if it's
hot out Weekends.
If I'm at the house in themorning, I am downing a large,
like a pot of coffee in themorning before like noon, like I
(40:15):
make a pot First thing I dowhen I wake up in the morning I
start the pot of coffee.
I normally go into my office orwhatever, or I let the dog out.
By the time I come in there'senough in the pot to pour a cup.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
I pour cup, I pour the cup, I drink the cup
throughout the day.
I'll keep pouring a cup,pouring a cup, pouring a cup
until the pot's empty.
Never, I've never made a secondpot that day.
So you know, if you juststopped ordering coffees for one
week because the schedule thatyou're going to buy a ferrari,
no, you, you know you.
You could buy like a thermos ortwo and take a couple pots of
coffee with you and then save 30a week for the rest of your
life and then buy a Ferrari.
Well, I don't care what you dowith your money.
Pay off debt, save up for ahouse, save up for a kid's
(40:53):
college fund, whatever you wantto do with it.
Speaker 1 (40:54):
I don't have any kids .
Well, when you have a kid, Okay, is our kid going to college?
Hon, that's fair.
But dad's in the towingindustry and mom's eating
pickles coloring a coloring book.
Dad's in the towing industryand mom's eating pickles
coloring a coloring book.
I don't think the kid's got agood chance of going to college.
Speaker 2 (41:15):
Diversity, I can't say the other words of diversity
.
Speaker 1 (41:19):
Pomplamoose.
Long story on the Pomplamoose.
Cowork and I have the same wordat work.
Whenever we get too aggressiveor mean to each other, we use
the word pump the moose, pump,pump the moose, pump the moose.
It's a fruit.
Yes, that's a fruit.
It's a fruit.
It's a uh, uh, a French word,for I think it's.
It's one of those like uh, nota cantaloupe.
Speaker 2 (41:49):
Uh, I'm going to look it up here, carry, on why do
watermelons get divorced.
Speaker 1 (41:52):
Because they cantaloupe.
It's a grapefruit.
A grapefruit is a pamplemousse.
Pamplemousse, it's pretty close.
It's not bad at all so yes,we're supposed to be thinking
about the questions To ask ourlisteners.
Do you tell your dog To go pee,pee, poo poo?
So yes, we're supposed to bethinking about the questions to
ask our listeners.
Speaker 2 (42:11):
Pee-pee-poo-poo.
Do you tell your dog to?
Speaker 1 (42:11):
go pee-pee-poo-poo.
I think the question is howregular is your pee-pee-poo-poo?
I think that would just be agreat icebreaker with people at
a toe show.
Speaker 2 (42:17):
How often do you go number two?
Speaker 1 (42:21):
Hi, I'm playing at the Tone Life podcast.
Speaker 2 (42:22):
How often do you go pee-pee-poo-.
Speaker 1 (42:24):
Ooh, depends on.
Depends on how much time.
Speaker 2 (42:26):
I got 20 minutes plus .
Speaker 1 (42:28):
Depends on how much time I got, minimum 20 minutes
plus.
Speaker 2 (42:34):
Um no, I I think like you're also going to have to
tell me when time is, because Ican't see that.
Speaker 1 (42:38):
Um, I don't know what time we actually did your intro
app, but we're currently at 44minutes.
Speaker 2 (42:42):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (42:44):
Um, questions to ask people at the toe show.
So we've been before.
You have a question.
Yes, you in the back with thevery strong.
Who is your most memorable?
Speaker 2 (42:54):
customer and why.
Who is your most memorablecustomer and why?
Speaker 1 (43:01):
Do I got to name them by name?
What kind of impact To mycareer?
Speaker 2 (43:06):
I don't think I've had a customer impact my career
I don't think the most memorablecustomer I had I think that's a
valid question was a very shortlocal tow.
I dropped his truck off at hishouse.
I need to touch your pee, pee,poo, poo I didn't even make it
(43:28):
back to the office and he calledmy office Three times because
he forgot His Percocets in theback of my truck.
By the time I got the messageTo turn around and take his
Percocets back, he called theoffice an additional three times
, so six times in about fiveminutes.
Like this guy was fiending overPercocets.
Speaker 1 (43:46):
That's your most memorable tell.
Speaker 2 (43:48):
Because I never realized how bad some people are
and how like, oh yes, yeah, ohyeah.
So we, we had this great lifeadvice.
Yeah, the uh, it was a olderhusband and wife in a Ford F-150
(44:09):
.
They were broken down in asmall town and they needed to be
towed to Toronto, and this wasjust after COVID was really like
full effect.
Oh yeah, and there's two ofthem.
Okay, and so at that point, ourcompany policy was still no
passengers, right, right, greatpolicy Love that policy.
It was a great policy, so Iadvised them.
Speaker 1 (44:30):
I advise that you're going to have to get a cab Silly
.
Speaker 2 (44:37):
Yeah so.
Speaker 1 (44:40):
I advise the roadside .
Can you get me a beer?
My mic doesn't go that far,please.
Speaker 2 (44:47):
That's the producer's job.
Speaker 1 (44:47):
I'm the talent You're the producer's job.
On the talent you're theproducer you did in the fridge,
in the weird kitchen, the onewith the cases open so I called
the roadside and I told them hey, you're going to have to
arrange a cab.
Speaker 2 (45:04):
And they called to the customer and they're like so
we can only give the cab forthe this customer, the wife
can't go with you in the cab,why they can only put one person
in the cab correctly?
Speaker 1 (45:16):
no, yeah, that was never a restriction.
Speaker 2 (45:19):
That's what they said , and I was there.
I heard the.
We sat there for an hour and ahalf and they're like well, I
guess I'm just gonna have tostay here, um.
So I just said you know what, Idon't care, just we'll hop in
the truck, we'll get you loadedup and I'll just take you there,
like this is um, if you know me, I like staying, sticking true
to the rules and regulations,but when you're just gonna give
(45:41):
someone the run around,especially an elderly couple
like that, like how old, howelderly are we?
Speaker 1 (45:46):
70s, okay, that's pretty.
Maybe late 60s, that's elderly,yeah.
Speaker 2 (45:51):
And so the roads I just left them out there to hang
yeah, they said that you wouldhave to pay for the cab, for if
the husband was able to go butthe wife was not able to go on
the cab, they would have to payfor the cab out in full so one
cab would be covered but not theother one.
And they were both going to thesame spot, they were both
(46:12):
getting towed.
They're like yeah.
Speaker 1 (46:13):
There's no, whether you want to believe in COVID and
what not the seriousness of it,but, elderly couple, you're
more of a threat to them Thanthey are to you.
And they were only allowing oneperson to cab.
I remember the cab times and Iremember wait times were huge.
Speaker 2 (46:30):
No, it wasn't the cabs issue, it was the roadside
issue.
The roadside said that only oneperson was allowed in the cab.
Speaker 1 (46:36):
I think that's a miscommunication.
Speaker 2 (46:37):
I called the cab company that would always come.
They're like no, we put three,four people in our cabs at a
time.
Speaker 1 (46:43):
Even when we've done work with this roadside before.
So with this roadside before,why?
So?
Why don't you say, okay, sendthe cab and then put them both
in the cab?
Speaker 2 (46:48):
I don't know, I don't know whoever they're talking to
, had something up their ass.
Speaker 1 (46:52):
I don't know who pissed their cornflakes that
morning, but they were, thecabbie could have overrode it
yeah, but they're not gonnadispatch the cab until he agrees
okay, so just agree to it andthen dispatch cab and then put
them both in the cab.
Yeah, you never lied to aroadside before, not?
Really you've never.
I have definitely lied toroadsides before.
(47:12):
I can't remember where I'veblatantly lied to roads.
Speaker 2 (47:16):
I've never lied, except when I told you, yeah,
when I moved, yeah, okay.
Speaker 1 (47:21):
So I have never lied to a roadside in a way to
financially benefit myself forthe company, right?
Just, just don't turn it off,it'll make a loud clicky.
Just, I've never lied to theroadside in order to financially
benefit myself or the company,but I've lied to the roadsides
in order to complete calls thatjust did not make sense, right,
(47:43):
whether it be that is anaggressive, poor, um, whether it
be that, okay, whether it bethat it didn't make sense, or
just you know a better way tomake it make sense.
Like these dispatchers that arein some of these roadsides do
not have, sometimes, the lifeexperience required to be in the
position that they're in.
So sometimes, yes, you've gotto use your better judgment and
(48:08):
I don't want to say lie, butmake it make sense, make it make
sense, oh, make it, make itthat it makes sense.
These, yeah, these street towhat do they call it?
Street to phone dispatchers, orwhatever they were calling them
for a while, where theyliterally would come in with no
experience.
And I'm not picking on oneroadside specifically.
This happens in a lot ofroadsides.
I've seen it happen in towingcompanies and trucking companies
(48:33):
, where people just don't havethe experience to fill the spot.
So, yes, I have definitely liedto roadside companies 90% of
the time.
It's to benefit the customerand to make it make sense.
They're a member, right?
That's a big hashtag that'sbeen going around ever since the
ontario government kind offoobarred.
Uh, this to see a regulationand everything else is make it
(48:54):
make sense.
And I think if we all take thatapproach a little bit into the
towing industry and try and makeit make sense, be reasonable in
how we question things and howwe approach things, I think
you're going to see it's goingto be a lot better off overall.
Speaker 2 (49:06):
I thought that was a political statement for one of
the political parties Make itmake sense.
Speaker 1 (49:10):
Yeah, it sounds very conservative.
Speaker 2 (49:12):
It is?
I don't think it is.
Speaker 1 (49:14):
I don't think the liberals could ever use that
argument.
Speaker 2 (49:16):
No, they don't do much.
That makes sense.
But oh, I can't remember what Iwas going to say.
Oh, we could have swore thatone of the times we were talking
to one of the dispatchers thatthey also dispatch for like a
pizza place, Like it was justsubcontracted out to like a call
center that did pizza deliveryand roadside stuff as well.
Speaker 1 (49:38):
It's very possible.
Given the call I know you canhire like dispatching companies
right, we've had them on asguests.
They're completely different.
Apparently they go directly toyour company, where these
companies can have you domultiple jobs.
I don't know if they do it allon shift whatnot, but you can
have dispatching services that'sthe word I was looking for that
can do this kind of thing.
So I wouldn't doubt it if maybedifferent roadsides would start
(50:02):
to lean on that kind of stufftoo, especially in the late
hours where call volume drops.
The late hours, um, where callvolume drops, I know in our area
, you know, trying to get a holdof somebody after seven eight
o'clock at night can be almostimpossible, yep, where you're
better off to just wait untilthe morning.
Or actually the dispatchers,like the they they don't the
supervisors that are on, but Imean you got one supervisor on
covering an entire region.
Trying to get a hold of them attwo, three o'clock in the
(50:23):
morning isn't always practicalright.
So sometimes again is one ofthose situations where you might
not necessarily lie to theroadside, but you might make a
decision on your own, make itwork and then lie to the
roadside to make it add up atthe end of the night because
there was nobody else to makethat decision.
You know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (50:39):
But what now that they want pictures for
everything?
Speaker 1 (50:42):
No, I haven't.
I haven't.
I don't send them pictures ofanything.
My drivers take pictures ofeverything and we have the
availability of the pictures,but I never sent them to the
road size because, I'm prettysure, and so centrally, why it
done all four corners with theirtablet devices, which is very
fair.
I completely understand theneed for us always 100% Like you
are trying to.
(51:04):
As an operator, and with the waypeople are nowadays, I'd
probably prefer it.
You know what I mean.
That way there's nothing.
As an operator, and with theway people are nowadays, I'd
probably prefer it.
You know what I mean.
That way there's nothing thatcan come back on me, there's
nothing that they can come afterme for down the road and, let's
be honest, especially in thatarea, everyone's out to get the
tow truck.
Nobody is coming to the defenseof the tow truck.
So no, I think photos are agreat idea and the problem is
(51:26):
the time that goes in it, andthen if you're possibly paying a
sub rate, and then the extratime that it's going to take,
and so on and so forth, it canit can start to add up and be a
little bit frustrating.
Speaker 2 (51:34):
Bad service area.
You got to take the samepicture six times for it up to
actually uploads to the tablet.
Speaker 1 (51:38):
it depends if the if you can actually upload it off
the tablet into a better spot,or if you can you is, is your
artwork almost ready to beauctioned off on our on our
wonderful website here attowinglifeca.
Now, oh, can we get a inprogress picture we're.
Speaker 2 (51:57):
That actually looks really good that does look
really good that can you bringit over here so we can show the
camera?
Speaker 1 (52:03):
oh, we're actually going to show the camera her
draft.
Yeah, I'm worried.
The mic it's a nerdy giraffe,it's.
Yeah, that's exactly, it'sexactly a nerdy, it's a high
giraffe.
Oh, the camera's over here.
Speaker 2 (52:16):
Yeah, I see the back of the uh it's a canadian draft.
Speaker 1 (52:21):
Yeah, um, we are going to be auctioning off the
canadian draft on our website atwww the canadian giraffe, at
wwwtowinanadiangiraffecom, atwwwtowinlifeca forward slash
auction or at this tow show.
We will hang it up behind ourbooth and go buy me.
You can either bid on it inpenny increments, if the penny
still exists, or you can buy itflat out for $5.
Oh, come on, you think thebidding will go higher than $5?
(52:42):
We need to start the bidding at$5.
Speaker 2 (52:44):
Will you pay more than $5?
I will start bidding at $5.
You will pay $5.
Sold.
No, we got to actually do thisprocess.
Speaker 1 (52:52):
Sold.
Sold to the highest bidder.
Speaker 2 (52:54):
Well, we haven't even started the bidding process yet

No, that's fine you just sold to the wonderful man
in the plaid blue shirt.
Where's my gavel?
Congratulations, son.
You are now a professionalartist.
You went from amateur toprofessional.
You made money off it.
Speaker 2 (53:12):
That means we can't use this podcast.
Speaker 1 (53:13):
That means we can't use this area to record the
podcast, because she's aprofessional now.
Oh God, is it no professionalphotography?
Speaker 2 (53:20):
That means we're going to have to do the next one
at the campsite.
Speaker 1 (53:23):
Jesus, you think we have lighting issues here.
You think it's going to be anybetter at the campsite?
Speaker 2 (53:26):

Speaker 1 (53:29):
anything, I'm sure.
Oh jesus, here we have a wholecontainer over there.
I'm sure we'll be fine, yeahwe'll figure it out yes, so no,
we are getting to about the timeand the ramblings have just
continued and continued on yeah,I don't even.
Speaker 2 (53:40):
This editing will probably either put you to sleep
or make you furious and clickoff I think some people will
enjoy the random ramblings.

I think just having us together on the same couch,
yeah, looking deep into eachother's eyes, looking at your
knees looking at my knees, Ihave beautiful knees.
I don't know what you'retalking about.

The next uh, might be the first time the listeners
have gotten to see our guts itain't getting any better.
Speaker 1 (54:11):
Ladies and gentlemen, no, I have spent more time
behind an office than in a truck.
I will be the first to admit it.

You don't have an excuse.
No, no, no.
Speaker 2 (54:27):

One more time this man has been God I can't even
get into.
I can't even get into it.
You need to make a budget.
You're telling me about yourfast food, and then you're
telling me to make a budget.
Speaker 2 (54:45):
No, I'm saying fast food is like the killer.
You need to cut that out.
Speaker 1 (54:48):
Okay, why are you criticizing me?
You're the one that ate all thefast food.
The hell, is this somedeflection psychology bullshit?
Speaker 2 (54:58):

Speaker 2 (00:09):
I'll make for a really.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Do not include that in the intro.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
No, just the clip Pee-pee-poo-poo.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Hey Robin, go pee-pee-poo-poo.
That's going to be the newthing around the house.
I'm going to be in the morningwhen I open the bathroom door.
Are you going pee-pee-poo-poo?
That is going to be a realthing.
Will you take me seriously if Iwalk into the bathroom and say
are you going pee-pee-poo-poo?
Speaker 2 (00:38):
You're going to make her choke on a pickle.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
I told you we're not allowed to do that on video.
Apparently, according to theAirbnb rules, as long as you're
amateur, it doesn't matter, aslong as you're not.
What is the definition ofamateur and professional?
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Well, it's a different tab on Pornhub.
That's all I know.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
I think it's more that it's oh wait, we need your
help.
Or Amanda, we need your help.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Can you open up Pornhub?
No, figure out what's thedifference between I wasn't
going to do dick.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
No, it's that, that camera.
If you look at it and if youlook at it on the screen, it's
just slightly angled.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
What do you mean?
Slightly angled Like, not level, exactly.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Not straight, just like apparently this amateur
section of it's about to be.
No, so there's a little dialthat makes that whole ball loose
.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Title of my sex tape no, you gotta loosen the ball,
you gotta twist the balls twistno no, the other way.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Lefty lucy, righty tighty, lefty lucy, there you go
, and now you'll see, yeah andthen, that all swivels and then
or a sense of fucking level bythe looks of it that's more
seahawks I like this.
This looks very legitimate no,it looks better.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Actually, it does look better.
See, look at it down there, itlooks better.
Yeah, I can see it on thescreen Damn, I made you guys
look better no.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
You emphasized my gut .
Yeah, I wear black and hides alot of it.
I mean, I can't tell I'msitting so far away from it.
Start from the beginning.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
So three years ago I approached g who was making
farmville videos on youtube.
No, it wasn't farmville.
No, it's farming simulator.
Same thing, because you got meto buy a computer to get you to
buy a computer.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
What a great decision that ended up being.
It was probably one of the bestdecisions you ever made.
You didn't sink any money intothat program.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
No, it was actually fairly cheap, but it's old and
slow now.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
You actually still have the same computer, yeah,
and you've never done anythingto it.
I put in another 8 gigabytes ofRAM.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
That's it.
That's it.
This is the post, or pre-show.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Have you ever watched our show?
Would you like a microphone tojoin in on this conversation?
We should.
Then I suggest that you quietdown.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
I'm not giving you a microphone.
Why not?
That's sexist.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Giving her a microphone because she's a woman
would be sexist.
I'm just not giving her amicrophone period.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Look, you've got to specify these things.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Did it just tilt even no, no it still looks fine from
our angle.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Why?
Speaker 1 (03:30):
does it look good there?
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
This looks really uncomfortable how I'm sitting it
does, god damn it yeah, it'stoo much what is it with air and
bmbs that just make amateursout of people?
Speaker 1 (03:48):
There's rules against this.
Okay, so my original questionearlier is what is the
difference between amateur andprofessional?
Your answer was not correct.
It's just a different tab onPornhub.
If I'm not mistaken, thedifference is paid and not paid.
So my question becomes becomesare we amateurs or professionals
at this?
We have been paid.
(04:08):
Is this a professional podcast?
We're doing charity work.
No, charity work is what thisis like.
Make a wisp foundation no thatis what having you on this show
is.
I get a subsidy from thegovernment by having you as a
co-host.
They give me a tax break at theend of the year.
(04:30):
This is going to be an open micsession.
This isn't going to be an openmic session.
Is what this is?
Oh, do you know?
(04:51):
Drafts have 21 inch tongues.
Yes, I do.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
And they use them to clean their ears.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Among other things.
I don't know what does a ghostwear when it's raining?
That's right on Robin's level,like I can hear her in the back.
So Robin's got this weird thingwhere she will come to me with
a joke and I hear her in likethe other room crying, laughing,
like just, and she comes to meand she sends me a video or she
(05:23):
comes and tells me the joke andit's like a two at best.
No, it's not, it's a funny.
It's a funny to you.
Like Boots was like a solidthree, she's treating it like a
nine.
Why are you sweating?
Speaker 2 (05:47):
It's hot and I'm intoxicated.
I drink like two or three timesa year.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
You're not allowed to say that you were.
You have to.
You have to say that you wereof sound body and mind before
this production could start andalso say you were over the age
of 18.
There's insurance purposes forthis.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
I am over the age of 18.
Don't worry, but I've mixedbeer, a beer.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Let's make this so bodily clear A beer, a beer, a
beer, a beer, a rum and coke.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
A rum and coke and Bailey's, and now another rum
and coke.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
That's a weird combination that's not going to
sit well with your stomach.
I'm glad you brought Tums Metoo.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
But we better make this episode quick, because
they're at the trailer.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Yeah, we were sitting down for dinner at Boston Pizza
and I said I'm glad I broughtTums as all this passed and
pizza got brought to the table.
I swear to God, I'm not 60.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
I don't know.
Oh, it's gonna be a stupid jokeready.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
No, she's looking up the definition Between amateur
and professional porn.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
For those of you at home Listening to this, if this
makes the episode.
Oh yeah, quaff, how does a duckfart With his?
Speaker 2 (07:02):
ass quaff, quack, quack With his ass quack.
How does a duck fart With hisass quack, quack, quack.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Quack, ass, quack, ass, quack.
So.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Hey, shouldn't we be like those people that bump mics
after shitty jokes?
Speaker 1 (07:16):
No, I'm not going to sing.
That's not even a joke.
It's not that funny.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Mrs Plain guy is like dying over in the corner.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
So for those of you that can't pick up the
background noise and I'm verycurious to how much background
noise picks up, and it's goingto be not enough, unfortunately
but you have my wife and G'sgirlfriend sitting opposite each
other and letting out terriblejokes, sharing them and
absolutely cracking each otherup with third grade like third
(07:46):
grade level jokes.
Like you?
No, it's.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
At least that's kind of towing related.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
It's definitely towing related.
It's still terrible, but it oftowing related it's, it's
definitely towing related.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
It's still terrible, but it's towing related, I mean.
It always baffles me when a 30year old guy gets a flat tire
and he'll wait three hours for a20 year old to come change his
tire yo, in all fairness, Iwould, right now, right now,
like I'm no, but not even justlike right.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
I'm at the point in my life that I think that if I
got a flat with the tools that,like Dodge provides which I'm
pretty sure I have removed frommy truck to make room for other
things that if I get a flat tiretoo, I'm calling a tow truck.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Really.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
I've got the impact on my truck.
It's not so bad, yeah, but likewithout the impact.
If you're just talking likelegit tools that come on the
vehicle, fuck, I've caught a towtruck.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Why would I refuse the call?
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Because it was a 30 year old person.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
No, half the time the spare tires don't come down out
of the back.
Well, that's fair.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
I'm just not changing it.
Dodge Caravan To.
I'm just not changing dodgecaravan toe.
Yeah, yeah, dodge caravan.
It's under the front middle.
I don't care if you swear, youservice that thing weekly.
I am telling you because I'mnot dropping that thing on the
side of the highway like that'sjust poor engineering poor
engineering.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
I had to change a tire.
I was on one of those new uhram rebels and he had the spare
tire mounted in the bed of thetruck, up on like a headache.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Rock nice yeah did you still reject that one too?
Speaker 2 (09:32):
no, I did not, um, I can't remember.
I ended up towing it, though,because his bed was full of like
camping stuff and he had hisfamily with him and he didn't
want to empty his bed, for me toclimb up into the bed to remove
the spare tire jesus christ,but it's easier to remove the
whole family and put them in atow truck.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Yeah, I um, when we did a trip to the east coast, I
had an f-150 with the spare tiremounted under the back and we
purposely, uh, tried to drop itabout a week before we left and
it was seized, so we cut it offand mounted it to my back rack,
like strapped it to the backrack for the chip, because I'm
not going to the east coast witha spare tire.
Um, a lot of people yeah, Inever look at those damn things
(10:10):
no like whoever thought it was agood engineering idea that
we're going to mount a tireunderneath a vehicle in canadian
winters with salt andeverything else and go.
That should hold up real well,like maybe in florida, like
those pickup trucks, I'm sure inflorida they drop real easy.
I mean salt water is probablyanother issue, but yeah but I
don't know who the engineers arethat do it, but they're idiots
(10:31):
without even a cover like you,just drop some of them have that
plastic cover.
Like the dodge, caravans havethat plastic cover.
Well, they have to.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
That's the only thing that holds the little
cocksuckers up in there.
It's the cover.
You got to get it out and thenyou got to bend the metal piece
around that's seized up.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Yeah, are the ones that, like they're spring-loaded
, that you have to close.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Five ones that aren't even springs anymore, because
they're just seized open or shutyep, so the last time we see
each other was a year ago uh,welcome to the towing life
podcast, where the ditches aredeep, the trucks are, but the
drivers are not.

Then I won Because you had fakenails that year and I won.
And you were three sheets tothe wind Because you raced her

I was three sheets to the wind.
I were three sheets to the woodbecause you raced her in the
parking.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
I was three sheets to win I'm three sheets to win
every tow show.
It's kind of what I aim for.
Yeah, it's a mix of vacationand entertainment.
Um, I stay sober during the daywhile we do our events at the
show and all that, and then, no,I've always been sober at the
tow show okay yeah seriously,what give me an?
(19:26):
Instance where I was not.
I please remind me he's beensober at the toe show.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Okay, yeah, seriously , give me an instance where I
was not, please remind me.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Where you walked around with a beer last year.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Okay, but that doesn't mean I'm not sober.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Okay, mr Officer.
Okay, like I don't mean likerehab AA, sober Like I'm not in
remission Bl tube, kindseriously, I can drive I had a
beer, maybe two and maybe twoturns into three, maybe no, no,
no, it was nowhere near morethan two.
(19:57):
And then we do our meet andgreets, and then we do our
banquets and all that, and thenall bets are off.
I mean, I mean I'm here for agood time, not a long time.
Um, I'm very disappointed.
You almost make you sound likean alcoholic, like I'm no longer
sober.
Well, you're not right now.
I'm borderline sober right now.
All right, I could, we could doa dui test right here.
(20:18):
I guarantee you, I beat youprobably.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
I don't even know how to do the alphabet forward, so
backwards, that's fair.
Or stand on one foot and rub mynose and rub my belly in the
opposite directions, or whateveryou got to do, pat your head
and rub your belly.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Tap your head and pat your belly.
Um, but no, we did bowling, um,the girls did phenomenally well
.
I had a nice little bet with mywife, um, where I had her by
nine pins going into the seventhand I made her a deal that I'd
better $20.
I could beat her with my lefthand for the rest of the game
and you were already in the leadat that point by nine pins
(20:55):
going to a left hand.
I went sewer, sewer, directlyafter.
Like that was the levelingmoment, like that pretty much
made it almost square, yeah, andthen you got a strike right it
a little square.
Well, that's because I'm good,that's because she bet against
me and I had something to prove.
There is nothing that motivatesme more than trying to prove my
wife wrong on something but whydo you always have to prove
your wife wrong?
Speaker 2 (21:17):
well, we all knew that he's a dick.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
But there's one thing there seriously needs to be
like just a mic in the middlehere that can pick them up,
because yes, however, so I'vealways had this argument with
her yes, right, because she'salways said, well, you should
stand up for yourself.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
And I was like all right, so I always stand up to
myself, but it's with her, standup to yourself no, like you
should really stand up toyourself.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
If yourself is telling me self, you're not a
very good, you need to stand upto yourself.
No, like you should reallystand up to yourself.
If yourself is telling me self,you're not a very good, you
need to stand up to yourself andtell yourself like you gotta
stand up for yourself, okay, andthen you stand up to her and
she kicks you down with it yeah,yeah, that's what I'm doing,
dude.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
You remember I'm in your corner already.
You don't need to like try tobelittle me to stand up for
yourself, type.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Oh stand up to me.
Well, I'm sure she told you tostand up to me before.
Yes, she has a hundred yeah,multiple times.
I agree with her.
Yeah, you should.
Yeah, but don't you dare don'tstart recording on sundays.
(22:19):
That's pretty fair he did tellme that he stopped me.
He said, look, there's no moregonna be late night sundays
because I started a job.
And I said, okay, I'll see yousunday at 9 pm and he went okay,
sounds good I did not.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Yeah, no, you're the ones like oh, yeah, you'll be
fine.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
No, and this was the perfect case.
And look at what happened thenext week.
We are recording on a thursdaynight.
Wow, I'm early, I am yeah, okay, no, that's why we're going to
record again this week.
Oh, we're recording again, Idon't know.
We're going to try to.
I think it'd be fun to.
If you haven't picked up onthis, the toe show hasn't
started yet.
(22:57):
No, so we are recording.
At the time of recording, weare Thursday night, it's Friday
and Saturday.
We have decided to get up here,not really early.
We always come up on theThursday, um, and kind of meet
up the night before, have somefun, do our I call this our
annual Christmas party.
This is the towing lifeChristmas party.
It's the one time we can gettogether, have fun, let loose,
uh, plan on doing more of ittomorrow and then possibly some
(23:17):
of it on Saturday.
Saturday, we'll have to plan,but Saturday would be a good
night to do another recording.
After the tow show Tomorrownight we'll do the bonfire and
the whatnot.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
We can't have a bonfire.
It's in a ring, a campfire.
It's not a bonfire.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
You can pile skids around a fire ring.
I've done it before.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Yeah, but they're not going to like that.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
There's like three people in the campsite who's not
going to like that.
There's like three people inthe campsite who's not going to
like it.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Who's not going to like it?
Fair, there is no one workingthere after six o'clock.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Exactly, we can have a bonfire like of the neighbor's
trailer.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Yeah, we'll have to just put my awning in.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Okay, we don't have to go that big.
We're going to move the firing.
Oh, okay, yeah, we got.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
I didn't bring my chains off.
I didn't think we were going tohave to use that this weekend,
but here we are.
Do you have a handsaw?
No, oh, I got a littleLeatherman.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
It's got a saw on it.
I can't wait to see G with thelittle pocket knife just sitting
there cutting at the tree andtrying to get the tree to go
down.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
I got a chain and a one-ton.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
We could do some real dumb shit in that campsite.
I tell you it is gonna get ugly, yeah, um.
So no, we're here for theannual 2024 pta auto show in
kitchener at bingman's um.
This year, again, we started.
We decided to not do the hotelcorrect because their prices, as
much as they have been a greathost of the toe show forever I
won't name which one becausemany hotel hosts have jumped,
like, honestly, almost doublethe price.
Yeah, it got, it got ludicrous.
(24:48):
So, uh, you came in and they'recamping right on the site for
anyone that's never been here,awesome campsite.
They kind of I think theypurposely put you guys I don't
think purposely tried to staggereverybody out.
No, I picked it.
Oh, okay, never mind, that'sthe spot you picked.
Yeah, you had any spot.
I wanted a corner lot, but like, okay, but like, like a corner
lot on the lake, it's not onlythat's a pond.
(25:11):
There's no hydrogen water on theon the lake side.
Oh, that's kind of shitty.
Okay, that's fair, but like youhave like people from all
angles.
I mean there's like threepeople there, but but.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
If the next person backs in which they will,
because they're back in spots.
I'll see a side of a trailerwhich I don't care about.
Seeing a side of a trailer Ilike they're going to be facing
me.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
No, no, that is fair.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
No, we're going to spend the evening there.
Tomorrow I'm going to fire withyou guys.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Are you guys allowed professional photography?
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Yes, okay, professional photography.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
There's no rules against that there.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
And amateur too, whatever kind of photography you
want.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
So for any of you that don't know, when I read the
rules to the Airbnb, one of therules was no professional
photography, for whatever thatmeans.
We kind of have an idea on whatthat means.
It means you've got to be in adifferent tab on some website.
Yeah, I feel like it's likeyou're not allowed to.
I mean it would be very smartif you were gonna do in that
line of business.
Let's say, just rent airbnbsand you have different like sets
(26:11):
and backgrounds and everything,and but is someone?
Speaker 2 (26:14):
really watching one of those videos for the set.
It's like watching nascar forthe racing.
No, you're.
You're doing it because youwant to see them crash.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
That's not true I watch nascar for the racing yeah
, you like seeing guys going.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Yes, and I read magazines for the articles yeah,
yes, yeah, especially thefoldout one on the absolutely
those articles are always myfavorite, but no, I uh.
Um, it's got off track fast,that's why you keep a sears
catalog in your toilet room.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Do you remember the sears catalog?
Speaker 2 (26:41):
oh, I'm like 10 years younger than you.
Okay, you're okay.
100 your christmas wish list.
That's where I was going youdirty minded, twisted bastard.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
We used to 100, and my wife can account for this as
well.
We used to go through the searscatalog and pick your christ,
like you were, circle what youwanted, hun did.
You do that as well.
Yes, okay, sorry, didn't meanto disturb the color.
She's very in her zone rightnow and does not want to be
disturbed.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Can we show your work on the podcast before we end?
Okay, maybe we can auction itoff, yeah, oh no, we can't do
that.
Then this would turn into aprofessional shoot, right We've
got to be amateurs.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
We, oh no, we can't do that.
Then this would turn into aprofessional shoot.
Right, we've got to be amateurs.
We've got to be amateurs.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Okay, it can be under the table.
Cash Under the table, yeah.
E-transfers, paypal.
What's that other one Cash app?
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Yeah, so you can head over to wwwtoeinglifeca forward

line on this podcast.
So head over to wwwtowinglifecaforward slash auction, where
you will find the wonderful workof Mrs Plain and her wonderful
(27:55):

Speaker 2 (27:59):
What do you mean crossing the line?
Is that crossing the linebecause your wife's here, or
crossing the line because we'rein Airbnb?
Speaker 1 (28:09):
No crossing the line, because this is a podcast.
Yeah, I've already.
There's a spot you're gonnahave to cut out earlier and I
was gonna repeat it, but I don'twant to make you work twice as
hard, uh, to find my twoinappropriate sayings that you
gotta honk out oh, you know Ibarely listen to these when I
edit them now.
Well, I hope do, or this mightbe one of the last episodes that

mocking it.

true.
Autism Research yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Yeah, yeah.
I'm not going to get into thewhole debate about that word.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
They're all slightly autistic and the one guy, levi,
not Levi, eli, eli, I don't knowHis son's autistic.
He has his own YouTube channel.
He made a video on trainsblowing up and stuff, see, and
that's okay.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Like if you were talking about it in a sense of
talking about it in theeducational purpose.
I think that's okay.
I don't know if we're allowedto talk about it in the way of
making a joke on something beinga slightly slower or or you
know and, and using that as areference.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Well, I would never use it to demean someone who
actually has a learningdisability in the first place.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Of course not Neither .
But if you're being an idiot.
I think it's fair game.
Yeah, a hundred percent.
Ninety percent of the worlddoes not agree with us on that
fair and in a day and age of theinternet, I'd rather not piss
off that 90 percent of the worldthat feels that way.
Yeah, um, unfortunately it'swhere we live.
I mean, the world is a strangeplace I just live in my convent.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
I barely leave my property, so I don't know what
world you live in, but myworld's different than yours.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Well, you and your con, you can say whatever you
want to whoever you want.
There's only seven people inthe world that have any meaning.
Or say let me ask you, with thetow show coming up tomorrow and
this will air after it, so it'snot going to ruin it for
anybody.
Every year we have gone aroundand asked people a question,
something that you know madethem think why, why towing?
(30:26):
What did you do before towing?
What is a good question, inyour opinion, that we can ask
our, the guests at the tow shownext year, or tomorrow and
saturday next year?
That you think would gathersome interesting responses.
What, what are you going onabout over?
(30:47):
Don't know what she's saying,just color your pickle or
something she's okay, they'relike dying.
Can you use the word if she'ssitting eating a pickle coloring
a coloring book?
Like I feel like that opens.
I, we did not, we did not, butlike seriously, can we use the
(31:08):
word in the context when youwere sitting eating a pickle
coloring in your coloring book?
And laughing hysterically atyour own comments.
I will let you guess what wordwe're trying to use that's him,
not me I'm asking if it'sappropriate, given the situation
(31:29):
judging by your tone, that's ano.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
I don't think it's appropriate given the situation
no plus, you shouldn't betelling your wife that plus.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
I'm sure she's waving that pickle at me angrily she's
gonna throw it.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
I think her aim's right better than bowling.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Don't throw the pickle at the airbnb.
It's a bad idea.
Do not throw the pickle in theairbnb, please.
Yeah, home is where the heartis.
Remember that, and your heartis where right now I'm surprised
there's no live laugh lovesticker on the wall here.
What concern.
There's a heart over there.
There is a heart over there.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
It's a very strange looking heart and um at home is
where the heart is.
And can you uh read me thetitle of that puzzle please?
Speaker 1 (32:09):
no, it's very inclusive.
Yes, um rainbow beauty 500piece puzzle there you go.
You want to do a puzzle afteryour coloring book there,
captain, a um, so a questionwhat was the question again?
A question.
What do you think would be ameaningful question that we can
ask our our listeners or guestsat the toe show tomorrow?
Speaker 2 (32:31):
what is that's?
Speaker 1 (32:33):
what is your vice that gets you through the days
what is your vice that gets youtoday the best lesson I like?
I like that one, the bestlesson you've learned, like I
like that one, the best lessonyou've learned.
So in asking that, I want toask you gee, what is the best
lesson you've learned Best?
Speaker 2 (32:51):
lesson that I've learned Um that you're not
always the smartest personaround, that you should always
shut up and listen.
Talk less than what you or youshould hear, and listen more
than what you speak.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
You got two ears and one mouth.
Use it.
No, that's a.
That's pretty fair.
You don't have to be thesmartest guy.
Best lesson that I've learnedin towing is some of the best.
It goes along the same lines assome of the best towers that I
know.
Don't like.
Don't have to pretend they knoweverything.
Right, some of the best towersI've met are some of the most
(33:30):
humble people in the industry,right, and you see so many of
these young guys running around.
Now I'm king shit chest puffedout and all that and, and at one
point I'm sure I was one ofthem.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
When you're new in the industry, like a year in
that's oh yeah, I knoweverything.
And then you get humbled realquick and in between that year
to three year mark you're like,oh yeah, there's, I learn new
things every day.
Maybe that's not true everyonethat's not true.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
I have guys that have run out of four or five years
that are still can't be humbled,that just absolutely think they
are let their shit don't stink.
Their shit don't stink.
They are the some of the besttellers.
They don't have to listen totheir peers or or listen to
experience of other people.
They just they've got to figureout right.
You can go like, oh no, I didthis way, oh, I do it this way,
(34:08):
and it's like, oh cool, good foryou, good luck with that.
Let me know how that continuesto work out for you.
But at the end of the day, youdon't have to be that operator
to be the best, the bestoperators that I've ever met.
Don't pretend to be superstars.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
Sorry, you know, superstars, sorry a couple we're
gonna have to charge for thisepisode with your knees in the
shot, like that.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
I mean, I think if I get my feet in it we can
actually uh, put it on a patreonI keep wanting to like tilt the
laptop back, thinking it'sgonna move the camera up, but
the reality is it's over here.
Yeah, it's not a tripod.
Um, that won't work.
Tripod title my sex tape.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Um, that being said, no, did you watch brooklyn 99
before you came here, orsomething?
No, no, I don't know why it's.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
It's stuck in my head tonight.
There was a couple lines thatcame out and it just worked out.
That is a great show it is areally good show, but no, I like
.
I like that one.
What is the best lessons youever learned?
What was the one you had beforethat you had said something
before?
Um, you were unable to stand upfor yourself and you let her
override your decision.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
No.
Being able to stand up foryourself, not being such a
pushover all the time no thatwasn't the no, it was.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
What is the meaningful question we can ask
our listeners?
Speaker 2 (35:17):
You said one, amanda said one Immediately overrided
and immediately overrode you,and you went with it.
That you have.
Well, you said it better than Isaid it, because you're better
with words than I am.
You went with it.
Well, you said it better than Isaid it, because you're better
with words than I am.
You have two ears and only onemouth, so use.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
No, not your answer to the question.
You had a question to ask.
I don't think it mattered.
Oh Jesus, what question wasthat?
Gee, stand up for yourself.
I'm confused.
Okay, I want to ask our guestsat the toe show a meaningful
question.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
Yeah, not other than no I oh, my question was what is
the vices that get you through?
What are the vices that get you?
Speaker 1 (35:54):
through.
Okay, what are the vices thatget you through?
Nicotine Lots and lots ofnicotine.
Caffeine the caffeine andnicotine are probably the two
things that keep you going on along stretch as long as you
don't get into the, I'll have tobleep this, but.
Jesus Christ.
That took a hard turn.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
Well, it's pretty.
Once you get into the nosebeers it's.
You know those 24 hour shiftsyes, I do remember this story.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
That was after g didn't know how to retorque his
own goddamn wheels or overtorqued his wheels and lost his
wheel on his truck.
And yes, you allegedly wereriding in a tow truck.
I say allegedly because thiswas not proven in the court of
law with a tow truck driver whowas had open alcohol in the tow
truck alexander keys king campnice and he fell asleep behind
the wheel twice Nice.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
And then like wanted a tip at the drop off.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
Maybe he should have tried things stronger than
caffeine and nicotine is all I'msaying.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
Maybe that would have solved that problem.
Maybe nose beers would havekept him awake.
They're called nose nachos.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
For his 12 hour shift that he was doing.
Is that what it was?
Was it a 12 hour shift?
12 hour shift, night shift,though no night shift, though no
day shift.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
Yeah, seven to seven seven to seven he's falling
asleep and drinking.
We were making him a littlework a little late, because we
didn't get back to the shopuntil like 8, 8, 30 at night.
So you guys are terrible people.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
But yeah, okay, one of your vices?
Yes, absolutely, I thinkcaffeine and nicotine, if you've
ever.
Now you and I again came fromtwo very different companies
with two different, verydifferent like schedules and
work levels.
Right, I don't want to say worklevel, that sounds demeaning.
Speaker 2 (37:31):
When we worked together, every driver there
smoked a lot and we all drank alot of coffee 100%.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
That is the main reason I went to.
Black coffee was there becauseI felt terrible drinking so many
double doubles every day.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
Yeah, like I.
At that time I was drinkinglike four by fours of triple,
triples.
Like it was disgusting coffeeand I would drink like eight to
ten extra large cups a day whatdo you mean back then?
Speaker 1 (37:52):
what do you drink now ?
Speaker 2 (37:54):
double, double with milk and I drink one a day.
That's it.
That's it, one a day, one a dayin the morning.
Yeah, it helps me go, helpskeep me regular.
And back to the theme of theepisode g going pee, pee, poo,
poo but it was bad because Iwouldn't go for like three or
four days in a row.
(38:14):
Really, yeah, I've been like aweek without going to the pee,
pee, poo, poo a week withoutgoing pee, pee, poo poo.
Speaker 1 (38:20):
Well, pee pee, yes, but no poo poo okay, no, poo,
poo, okay, so setting myself upon a schedule and a routine,
which is so hard to do in thetowing industry.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
You get up, I make a coffee, I sit down at the
computer, I read the news, Iplay, my game and I shit my
pants.
Drink my coffee, drink likehalf a liter of water, and then
I go to the bathroom.
Right, I get flushed out forthe morning and then I'm good to
start my day.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
How much coffee?
I want to take a guess how muchcoffee I drink in a day.
I don't know weekday or weekend.
Weekday will be more becauseyou're working a lot more.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
You'd be surprised.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
Weekend will probably be more well, later nights
probably no, so weekday I don'tknow how big a pot is, how big's
your pot full, full-size coffeemaker okay, 12, it's like 12
like 12 measured cups kind ofthing.
Okay, uh, but I'll have a largecoffee in the morning on my way
into work.
It's a large coffee and ablueberry muffin every morning,
which muffin, I found out, isjust cake it has.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
So that's six dollars of bullshit you're spending
every morning out on the road.
No, no, bullshit it's fourdollars and eight cents okay,
but still four dollars and eightcents every morning, yep,
before you even get to work.
Speaker 1 (39:28):
So you're gonna try and sell me on one of those
things that if I didn't do that,I could own a ferrari right I
don't give a fuck.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
Yeah, thirty dollars a week absolutely you should see
what I spent on your wrap youshould see what I spent on lunch
.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
What do you mean without my wrap?
I don't get a wrap.
No, it's seriously black coffee, blueberry muffin every day,
that's it.
That's my breakfast.
There's no breakfast wrap.
There's no.
Speaker 2 (39:48):
How many cigarettes go along with that for breakfast
?
Speaker 1 (39:50):
I like one or two.
But so I drink normally Onecoffee and, depending on the day
, I've had days where I'd say itcould be three large, four
large coffees by the end of theday.
Maybe a nice coffee in there.
A little sweetness in theafternoon, especially if it's
hot out Weekends.
If I'm at the house in themorning, I am downing a large,
like a pot of coffee in themorning before like noon, like I
(40:15):
make a pot First thing I dowhen I wake up in the morning I
start the pot of coffee.
I normally go into my office orwhatever, or I let the dog out.
By the time I come in there'senough in the pot to pour a cup.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
I pour cup, I pour the cup, I drink the cup
throughout the day.
I'll keep pouring a cup,pouring a cup, pouring a cup
until the pot's empty.
Never, I've never made a secondpot that day.
So you know, if you juststopped ordering coffees for one
week because the schedule thatyou're going to buy a ferrari,
no, you, you know you.
You could buy like a thermos ortwo and take a couple pots of
coffee with you and then save 30a week for the rest of your
life and then buy a Ferrari.
Well, I don't care what you dowith your money.
Pay off debt, save up for ahouse, save up for a kid's
(40:53):
college fund, whatever you wantto do with it.
Speaker 1 (40:54):
I don't have any kids .
Well, when you have a kid, Okay, is our kid going to college?
Hon, that's fair.
But dad's in the towingindustry and mom's eating
pickles coloring a coloring book.
Dad's in the towing industryand mom's eating pickles
coloring a coloring book.
I don't think the kid's got agood chance of going to college.
Speaker 2 (41:15):
Diversity, I can't say the other words of diversity
.
Speaker 1 (41:19):
Pomplamoose.
Long story on the Pomplamoose.
Cowork and I have the same wordat work.
Whenever we get too aggressiveor mean to each other, we use
the word pump the moose, pump,pump the moose, pump the moose.
It's a fruit.
Yes, that's a fruit.
It's a fruit.
It's a uh, uh, a French word,for I think it's.
It's one of those like uh, nota cantaloupe.
Speaker 2 (41:49):
Uh, I'm going to look it up here, carry, on why do
watermelons get divorced.
Speaker 1 (41:52):
Because they cantaloupe.
It's a grapefruit.
A grapefruit is a pamplemousse.
Pamplemousse, it's pretty close.
It's not bad at all so yes,we're supposed to be thinking
about the questions To ask ourlisteners.
Do you tell your dog To go pee,pee, poo poo?
So yes, we're supposed to bethinking about the questions to
ask our listeners.
Speaker 2 (42:11):
Pee-pee-poo-poo.
Do you tell your dog to?
Speaker 1 (42:11):
go pee-pee-poo-poo.
I think the question is howregular is your pee-pee-poo-poo?
I think that would just be agreat icebreaker with people at
a toe show.
Speaker 2 (42:17):
How often do you go number two?
Speaker 1 (42:21):
Hi, I'm playing at the Tone Life podcast.
Speaker 2 (42:22):
How often do you go pee-pee-poo-.
Speaker 1 (42:24):
Ooh, depends on.
Depends on how much time.
Speaker 2 (42:26):
I got 20 minutes plus .
Speaker 1 (42:28):
Depends on how much time I got, minimum 20 minutes
plus.
Speaker 2 (42:34):
Um no, I I think like you're also going to have to
tell me when time is, because Ican't see that.
Speaker 1 (42:38):
Um, I don't know what time we actually did your intro
app, but we're currently at 44minutes.
Speaker 2 (42:42):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (42:44):
Um, questions to ask people at the toe show.
So we've been before.
You have a question.
Yes, you in the back with thevery strong.
Who is your most memorable?
Speaker 2 (42:54):
customer and why.
Who is your most memorablecustomer and why?
Speaker 1 (43:01):
Do I got to name them by name?
What kind of impact To mycareer?
Speaker 2 (43:06):
I don't think I've had a customer impact my career
I don't think the most memorablecustomer I had I think that's a
valid question was a very shortlocal tow.
I dropped his truck off at hishouse.
I need to touch your pee, pee,poo, poo I didn't even make it
(43:28):
back to the office and he calledmy office Three times because
he forgot His Percocets in theback of my truck.
By the time I got the messageTo turn around and take his
Percocets back, he called theoffice an additional three times
, so six times in about fiveminutes.
Like this guy was fiending overPercocets.
Speaker 1 (43:46):
That's your most memorable tell.
Speaker 2 (43:48):
Because I never realized how bad some people are
and how like, oh yes, yeah, ohyeah.
So we, we had this great lifeadvice.
Yeah, the uh, it was a olderhusband and wife in a Ford F-150
(44:09):
.
They were broken down in asmall town and they needed to be
towed to Toronto, and this wasjust after COVID was really like
full effect.
Oh yeah, and there's two ofthem.
Okay, and so at that point, ourcompany policy was still no
passengers, right, right, greatpolicy Love that policy.
It was a great policy, so Iadvised them.
Speaker 1 (44:30):
I advise that you're going to have to get a cab Silly
.
Speaker 2 (44:37):
Yeah so.
Speaker 1 (44:40):
I advise the roadside .
Can you get me a beer?
My mic doesn't go that far,please.
Speaker 2 (44:47):
That's the producer's job.
Speaker 1 (44:47):
I'm the talent You're the producer's job.
On the talent you're theproducer you did in the fridge,
in the weird kitchen, the onewith the cases open so I called
the roadside and I told them hey, you're going to have to
arrange a cab.
Speaker 2 (45:04):
And they called to the customer and they're like so
we can only give the cab forthe this customer, the wife
can't go with you in the cab,why they can only put one person
in the cab correctly?
Speaker 1 (45:16):
no, yeah, that was never a restriction.
Speaker 2 (45:19):
That's what they said , and I was there.
I heard the.
We sat there for an hour and ahalf and they're like well, I
guess I'm just gonna have tostay here, um.
So I just said you know what, Idon't care, just we'll hop in
the truck, we'll get you loadedup and I'll just take you there,
like this is um, if you know me, I like staying, sticking true
to the rules and regulations,but when you're just gonna give
(45:41):
someone the run around,especially an elderly couple
like that, like how old, howelderly are we?
Speaker 1 (45:46):
70s, okay, that's pretty.
Maybe late 60s, that's elderly,yeah.
Speaker 2 (45:51):
And so the roads I just left them out there to hang
yeah, they said that you wouldhave to pay for the cab, for if
the husband was able to go butthe wife was not able to go on
the cab, they would have to payfor the cab out in full so one
cab would be covered but not theother one.
And they were both going to thesame spot, they were both
(46:12):
getting towed.
They're like yeah.
Speaker 1 (46:13):
There's no, whether you want to believe in COVID and
what not the seriousness of it,but, elderly couple, you're
more of a threat to them Thanthey are to you.
And they were only allowing oneperson to cab.
I remember the cab times and Iremember wait times were huge.
Speaker 2 (46:30):
No, it wasn't the cabs issue, it was the roadside
issue.
The roadside said that only oneperson was allowed in the cab.
Speaker 1 (46:36):
I think that's a miscommunication.
Speaker 2 (46:37):
I called the cab company that would always come.
They're like no, we put three,four people in our cabs at a
time.
Speaker 1 (46:43):
Even when we've done work with this roadside before.
So with this roadside before,why?
So?
Why don't you say, okay, sendthe cab and then put them both
in the cab?
Speaker 2 (46:48):
I don't know, I don't know whoever they're talking to
, had something up their ass.
Speaker 1 (46:52):
I don't know who pissed their cornflakes that
morning, but they were, thecabbie could have overrode it
yeah, but they're not gonnadispatch the cab until he agrees
okay, so just agree to it andthen dispatch cab and then put
them both in the cab.
Yeah, you never lied to aroadside before, not?
Really you've never.
I have definitely lied toroadsides before.
(47:12):
I can't remember where I'veblatantly lied to roads.
Speaker 2 (47:16):
I've never lied, except when I told you, yeah,
when I moved, yeah, okay.
Speaker 1 (47:21):
So I have never lied to a roadside in a way to
financially benefit myself forthe company, right?
Just, just don't turn it off,it'll make a loud clicky.
Just, I've never lied to theroadside in order to financially
benefit myself or the company,but I've lied to the roadsides
in order to complete calls thatjust did not make sense, right,
(47:43):
whether it be that is anaggressive, poor, um, whether it
be that, okay, whether it bethat it didn't make sense, or
just you know a better way tomake it make sense.
Like these dispatchers that arein some of these roadsides do
not have, sometimes, the lifeexperience required to be in the
position that they're in.
So sometimes, yes, you've gotto use your better judgment and
(48:08):
I don't want to say lie, butmake it make sense, make it make
sense, oh, make it, make itthat it makes sense.
These, yeah, these street towhat do they call it?
Street to phone dispatchers, orwhatever they were calling them
for a while, where theyliterally would come in with no
experience.
And I'm not picking on oneroadside specifically.
This happens in a lot ofroadsides.
I've seen it happen in towingcompanies and trucking companies
(48:33):
, where people just don't havethe experience to fill the spot.
So, yes, I have definitely liedto roadside companies 90% of
the time.
It's to benefit the customerand to make it make sense.
They're a member, right?
That's a big hashtag that'sbeen going around ever since the
ontario government kind offoobarred.
Uh, this to see a regulationand everything else is make it
(48:54):
make sense.
And I think if we all take thatapproach a little bit into the
towing industry and try and makeit make sense, be reasonable in
how we question things and howwe approach things, I think
you're going to see it's goingto be a lot better off overall.
Speaker 2 (49:06):
I thought that was a political statement for one of
the political parties Make itmake sense.
Speaker 1 (49:10):
Yeah, it sounds very conservative.
Speaker 2 (49:12):
It is?
I don't think it is.
Speaker 1 (49:14):
I don't think the liberals could ever use that
argument.
Speaker 2 (49:16):
No, they don't do much.
That makes sense.
But oh, I can't remember what Iwas going to say.
Oh, we could have swore thatone of the times we were talking
to one of the dispatchers thatthey also dispatch for like a
pizza place, Like it was justsubcontracted out to like a call
center that did pizza deliveryand roadside stuff as well.
Speaker 1 (49:38):
It's very possible.
Given the call I know you canhire like dispatching companies
right, we've had them on asguests.
They're completely different.
Apparently they go directly toyour company, where these
companies can have you domultiple jobs.
I don't know if they do it allon shift whatnot, but you can
have dispatching services that'sthe word I was looking for that
can do this kind of thing.
So I wouldn't doubt it if maybedifferent roadsides would start
(50:02):
to lean on that kind of stufftoo, especially in the late
hours where call volume drops.
The late hours, um, where callvolume drops, I know in our area
, you know, trying to get a holdof somebody after seven eight
o'clock at night can be almostimpossible, yep, where you're
better off to just wait untilthe morning.
Or actually the dispatchers,like the they they don't the
supervisors that are on, but Imean you got one supervisor on
covering an entire region.
Trying to get a hold of them attwo, three o'clock in the
(50:23):
morning isn't always practicalright.
So sometimes again is one ofthose situations where you might
not necessarily lie to theroadside, but you might make a
decision on your own, make itwork and then lie to the
roadside to make it add up atthe end of the night because
there was nobody else to makethat decision.
You know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (50:39):
But what now that they want pictures for
everything?
Speaker 1 (50:42):
No, I haven't.
I haven't.
I don't send them pictures ofanything.
My drivers take pictures ofeverything and we have the
availability of the pictures,but I never sent them to the
road size because, I'm prettysure, and so centrally, why it
done all four corners with theirtablet devices, which is very
fair.
I completely understand theneed for us always 100% Like you
are trying to.
(51:04):
As an operator, and with the waypeople are nowadays, I'd
probably prefer it.
You know what I mean.
That way there's nothing.
As an operator, and with theway people are nowadays, I'd
probably prefer it.
You know what I mean.
That way there's nothing thatcan come back on me, there's
nothing that they can come afterme for down the road and, let's
be honest, especially in thatarea, everyone's out to get the
tow truck.
Nobody is coming to the defenseof the tow truck.
So no, I think photos are agreat idea and the problem is
(51:26):
the time that goes in it, andthen if you're possibly paying a
sub rate, and then the extratime that it's going to take,
and so on and so forth, it canit can start to add up and be a
little bit frustrating.
Speaker 2 (51:34):
Bad service area.
You got to take the samepicture six times for it up to
actually uploads to the tablet.
Speaker 1 (51:38):
it depends if the if you can actually upload it off
the tablet into a better spot,or if you can you is, is your
artwork almost ready to beauctioned off on our on our
wonderful website here attowinglifeca.
Now, oh, can we get a inprogress picture we're.
Speaker 2 (51:57):

really good that can you bringit over here so we can show the
camera?
Speaker 1 (52:03):

draft.
Yeah, I'm worried.

giraffe.
