Top Shelf Stories with Jay, chris and Tony.
Welcome everybody to Top ShelfStories Podcast with me.
(00:28):
Chris, got Jay over here.
Tony, so, guys, howdy, we, we,we.
I don't know how to start thisone.
I don't know which way do Iwant to go with this, but I'm
just going to say it.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
I heard.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
I'm just going to say it yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
You are now about that life.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
So yeah, my wife bought a camper, okay, a
tow-behind camper.
And I say my wife bought itbecause it was entirely her idea
.
Okay, it was entirely her idea.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Okay, so is this camper the right size for your
Dodge Grand Caravan?
It is within size.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Or now do you have to buy a pickup truck?
It is within size of the DodgeCaravan, which has a 3,600-pound
towing capacity.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Is buying a Caravan considered a midlife crisis.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
The trailer, the trailer camper wagon.
I think it's something to dowith that but not really.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
So this thing, it's a fucking caravan.
It's a fucking caravan.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
So my wife has wanted one of these for like two or
three years.
She's mentioned it maybe forfour or five years how it would
be neat to get one of thesethings and have it there to kind
of like tinker on and makepretty and like buy one and then
sell it and then buy anotherone and do it kind of again
after you get a little betterand sell it and then kind of
(02:01):
maybe get one If you find theperfect one that you want to
just keep you make that one nice, and then you just got a camper
she's good at taking her timeand deciding about wanting to
buy it, or you were the one thatsaid hey I, I don't want this
shit don't driveway, I don'twant to do this like it's a
great fairy tale idea.
(02:22):
Then, like a couple years ago,the grand caravan got its, got
its uh trailer hitch installed,you know.
So then we had the trailerhitch installed and we used it
to help move her sister.
Her dad took it out west andtowed her stuff back to mo you
know our town.
And then a couple more years goby and it was always a joke,
(02:44):
like anytime we're on vacation.
Good thing we got that hitch,because now we can get the boat
or the camper or the food truckor the whatever and we can fix
it up and it'll be fun and it'ssomething you talk about in the
car, right, you know well, she'sstill looking now.
Now it's like the heat got onpretty much this summer I'm
gonna look for these thingspretty heavy.
(03:05):
And she's been on the Facebookmarketplace.
She's been on all the things,seeing them on the sides of the
road wanting to stop and look atthe things.
Pop-ups, tailors tow behindslittle campers.
You've gone camping a bunch oftimes.
We recently visited Tony at hiscampground and rented a cabin
and we spend the whole timeoutside like you're camping, but
(03:26):
you just got a cabin to sleepin.
And then we did a couple yearsago, last year we did a yurt.
We stayed in the yurt but ithad power and air conditioning.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Are you saying yard?
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Yurt.
It's like a big tent, but it'slike there it's a hut kind of
thing At a campground, just likeTony's campground, where you
got an RV park there and allthese fun things to do.
And that was a lot of fun and Ialways liked camping Me too.
But now Katie likes camping, sothat's cool, right.
And then we just recently wejust went camping camping in a
(03:58):
state park for three days overthe 4th of July.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Yogi Bear.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
No state park.
I don't know what that means.
Hartman Creek State Park Okay,and that was a ton of fun.
That sounds like a place wherepeople go to bury bodies.
So now my dad has this camper.
He bought this camper car thingthat he's got, you know, the
van.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
His is way more.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
His is an amazing piece of equipment.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Like a level up from yours, though, right so then the
intensity started, was allstarting.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
You know, I want to get this thing she's showing me.
I'm like that's a hunk of junk,that's a pile of freaking sheet
metal for 4800 what are younuts?
And then it's like you thinkthe fan can hold that.
Turn that thing off, go backand do something else.
You're fixating.
I'm telling her like no, comeon, you find something that's
like free with delivery.
That's a deal, not this 1800crap you're showing me here like
(04:51):
the thing probably doesn't evenroll.
Well, three nights ago shefound, three days ago or four
days ago she found this camperon facebook marketplace and the
thing was 1500, 2002.
Keystone.
What is it a keystone?
Cabana, the 1901 series.
(05:14):
It's small, sounds amazing,it's only 2800 pounds or
something.
It's got a kitchen.
It's got a bath with, or ashower with a bath, with a
toilet in it and even a smalltub.
It sleeps a queen size wherethe kitchen goes, queen size on
one of the front end.
(05:34):
What do they call them?
Not really a pop out, it's likea hybrid, with the little tent
thing that goes out the front.
There's a tent thing that goesout the back with a bunk that
sleeps two or one and a half,two kids, one and a half adults.
How many square feet, I don'tknow.
Probably like 64.
I have no idea.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Right.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
It's like 13 feet long, seven feet wide.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
I just wanted to hear a small number.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
But it sleeps six, eight, even maybe Six and two
kids or eight kids or whatever.
It's a big camper.
Nice little thing right.
It's got an air conditioner,thing works, it's got all this.
Everything's like really greatshape.
Guy wants 1500 bucks.
She sends me this thing and I'mlike god damn it.
(06:19):
That looks like pretty gooddeal for this little hunk of
junk.
And I was like like I don'tknow and I laid back on like
okay, go back and stop fixatingon this thing.
Who cares?
We don't want this camper.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
What are you talking about?
You're like Katie stick tomaking sandwiches.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
No, not like that, but like come on, this isn't.
We don't want this.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
This is going to be expense.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Yeah, the thing and this other thing and this other
thing, and I just am doom, likedoom scrolling in my brain on
this thing.
She's like well, he said thatthe lowest he would go was a
thousand and I told him thatwe'd meet him after work today.
So do you think we can go overthere at like 630?
You really want to get rid of it.
(07:01):
I'm like God damn it, this girlreally wants this stinking
camper.
So I'm like, whatever, we'll golook at it, who cares?
Right?
But anytime you go, look at, Itold her, go to the bank, get
the thousand dollars he said itwas going to be.
If you go a thousand dollars,go get a thousand dollars.
Find out what it costs toinsure this thing.
Find out if it's the toy.
You know she does all thisresearch and she's looking up
(07:22):
this things, that and the other.
I'm looking at the, the advertfor showing a guy at work like,
look at this crap my wife wantsto buy and now it says pending.
I'm like, oh no, she did notjust go and buy this thing
without telling me that she'salready made the deal she agreed
over the phone.
No, the guy said that he put apost in the post, that he was
(07:44):
getting so many responses andeveryone needs to stop leaving
him alone because he's at workand he thinks he's got it sold.
That's why he goes down so heput it on pending.
And we showed up and we lookedat this thing and man, the guy's
like I'm getting a new camper,his wife don't like this thing.
It's got a little this overhere and this part, and I'm like
(08:05):
okay, okay.
And I was like stop telling me,bro, you're dealing with her,
like I'm here, I'm the husband,it's mine.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Like I don't even know how to hook this thing up
to the truck.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
I'm not doing this man, I wouldn't know either.
So he's like yeah, and thenyeah, then yeah, a thousand
bucks, man.
So I got this camper.
It's 18-something feet long orwhatever.
Seven and a half,seven-something feet wide.
It's taller than I can see outthe back.
Obviously I don't have theright electrical connects,
(08:38):
because this is a seven plug.
I got a four plug.
I don't have what else?
A trailer pin for the trailer.
He had this fancy one he took,but he gave me this other one,
so I just lock it in.
I have to twist the chainsbecause it's like leaning,
whatever.
It's not set up quite right.
So then I gotta back it out.
(08:58):
So this is like the first test.
I'm like if I buy this thing, Ihave to back it out of here.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
That's going to be hard.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Yeah, and I'm like there's like three cars and the
tree and these electrical lines.
I had to do basically like fiveor six straight back and forth
moves to get away from the walland then start turning towards
my car, towards the wall,turning the thing at least to my
right side, my driver's side,so I can see what I'm doing.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
This is your life.
Now it a little nerve-wrackingplus I'm like, okay, I don't
even know if I hooked up thingright, laughing at you no, he
wasn't.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
In fact he's like there's no way.
If I was gonna move it,obviously I'd have my neighbor,
I'd find out and have him movehis car here.
I'd have my brother move hisother car out of the way and I'd
pull it straight out.
But if you want to take it now,I'm like yeah, we gave you the
money, I'm gonna fucking takethe thing I'd be terrified
trying to back that shit up ohman if I pulled it up on google
maps where I was, you guys wouldbe like there's no way you did
(09:56):
that.
And even the guy was like thatwas pretty amazing man, you did
better than I would ever wouldhave done so have you ever had.
I used to do a dump truckdriver and I used to drive with
the trailer on it and that's waymore weight and way more length
, way more height okay, off theroad.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
I, I'm a novice, completely and driving stick
shift truck yeah, I would youturn one way.
That fucking trailer goes theother way, right?
Speaker 1 (10:21):
that's how it kind of works, kind of opposite how
your brain wants it to work.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
So basically, I would be fucked.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Well, I did it about 80 times, or 80% of the time
turn the wrong way first.
No, when you first this one nolike every time I wanted it to
go left, I'd turn left.
I'm like no right, no, so yeahbut you figure it out right.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
That terrifies me, and I always wanted to have a
trailer for a boat or somethingand I always figured like For me
to do something like that, Ifeel like my mind would have to
work in different ways.
It's not normally.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Watching people back things up is my favorite thing
to do, oh the boat launch and abeer and a chair is a Saturday
man.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
That's a whole Saturday they have a show on
YouTube about that and I wasjust watching that recently and
there was a guy that took threehours and I think he was trying,
he was testing or figuring outhow to do it, but he could not
do it like literally.
It seemed so easy seeing it froma perspective of a youtuber
(11:28):
yeah but like in my eye or theway I was thinking about, I'm
like dude.
There's no way I could do it.
I feel bad for that guy.
I I feel terrible.
He's laughing at him, but Ifeel fucking terrible.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
I definitely knew I could do it, but I definitely
thought it would be easier forme than it was to do.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Does it matter if it's a boat or if it's what you
purchased or does?
Speaker 2 (11:51):
it matter, the shorter the trailer the harder
it is.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Because it wants to turn.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
So I remember when one of our first guide trips we
had you left with the boat oryou put the boat in the water
and you told us to back the shitin to the place and we're like
it took us a half hour.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
In empty white trailers hard too.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
We still didn't do it , so we picked up your fucking
thing and carried it.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
You moved the back end of the trailer to where you
want it yes, because we're likefuck this dude, there's no way
we're doing this.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
It's so easy to back up a trailer.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
So this thing's way too heavy.
Obviously it's so easy.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Dude, you weren't there.
You're not there, Tony.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
So towing recommends that I have a trailer brake
installed, of course, andtrailer brake controls which it
has trailer brakes, electronictrailer brakes but you need a
brake controller to control thebrakes, when you hit the brakes
and how much it's breaking whenyou know that that new Dodge Ram
, she's looking all built inthere.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Right, it's already got like sensors that look at
the thing, why that's anecessity.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
So let's say you're going 80 miles an hour Down the
highway and you try to stop yourboat or your trailer.
It doesn't want to stop, but ifyou have Brake controls that
when you hit the brake it alsohits the electronic brakes On
the back.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
It'll help stop you.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
So if you're going, say, down a hill, you can
actually Engage the brakes Towork harder On the thing you're
towing so it doesn't creep upand push you, it's stopping.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
I just don't know until.
I guess I'd be in thatsituation.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
So, anyways, you don't want to have things.
It doesn't make sense.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
I hit the brakes, the fucking thing stops.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Well, think about like.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
I got 600 pounds of tile on my back.
I hit the brakes.
It stops.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
It's like like yeah, kind of like that, but the tile
wants to keep going forward, butanyway.
So I don't have this hooked upand I'm going down 92nd street I
can't see around it because Idon't have mirror clips that are
long enough on my dodge grandcaravan to see around this thing
, so I need those.
I don't have any like swaycontrol or anything, which I
probably will need for longertrips because this thing is near
the vehicle way you should.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
You should really have it for any trips what the
fuck is sway control?
Speaker 3 (14:02):
so any trips for sure for sure explain to me what
sway control, control.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
So if you're driving down the street and a semi truck
drives past you and blows youaround in your car, now imagine
that there's just this 2600pound other car tied to the back
of yours that's built like awall it catches all that air and
wants to swing around.
Wow.
Well, this thing goes as likealmost a crutch to your towing
(14:28):
apparatuses and it's likeresistant to turning, so the
wind doesn't turn it.
But when you turn, turn it itdoes.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
It slides a bar.
What if that happens?
It's really bad.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
A sway, whatever it will turn your car over.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
So can you like with professional people that drive
these fuckers, can they figureout how to fucking maneuver it?
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Normally it just means slowing down and stopping
completely and then going again.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
That scares the shit out of me.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Did you ever, um, what's something you might have
done?
Nothing?
I even okay, I didn't even pull.
Okay, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
You look like you look like you used to skateboard
, did you?
Speaker 2 (15:10):
ever skateboard, okay , for decades.
Did you ever ride yourskateboard down a hill that was
slightly too steep, yeah, andthen hit a rock and then you do
the death wobble you ever donethat.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Where you start wiggling and you can't stop
wiggling until you basicallycrash.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
I've had it.
Yeah, I've had the wigglebefore, but I've always been.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Well, you either got to start slowing down or you got
to go off, or you see theyoutube videos where people are
getting pulled behind a car ontheir, their skateboard and they
start wobbling and they can'twobble.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
That's retarded.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Well, if you had another arm that could hold the
back of the truck while you werebeing told you could straighten
yourself out.
Well, this is like another armthat straightens.
That's crazy.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
I didn't even knew that was a thing.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Yeah, either did I when my wife bought a camper,
because I was asking her on theway there.
I'm like so where are we goingto put this?
She's like I don't know, whatdo you mean?
Speaker 2 (16:05):
I'm like, well, like, for example, right when we go
there, I have to move one of mythree fire pits.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
If we give, we're gonna take it with us.
Where are we gonna put it?
Oh, in our driveway.
I'm like, okay, three weeksfrom now.
Where are we gonna put it?
We'll probably be in thedriveway.
I'm like, all right that.
I mean okay, six months fromnow.
Where are we gonna put it?
Well, your grandpas are on thepatio and I'm like, yeah, see,
(16:32):
you didn't think this through.
You've been dreaming for threeyears about an rv and now it's
here.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
We're not quite ready .
I'll tell you what.
Just park it in the front lawn.
Leave it there.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
I didn't know my plug wasn't going to work.
I didn't even think about howthe RV has a completely
different plug because it hasall the accessories.
You can run off your auxiliarypower of your vehicle if you
want to, your battery would bedead.
I didn't think about how Icouldn't see behind the thing
while I was driving.
I didn't think about how I wasbecoming to be dusk and I didn't
have brake lights or turnsignals, and no one could see
(17:03):
mine.
I didn't think about all kindsof things.
I was bopping up and down 92ndStreet.
I did stop twice to make sure Istill had the fucking thing
hooked up, though I'll tell youthat the chains were too long,
so they're all twisted basicallydoing nothing if it fell off
they would probably snap frombeing twisted.
I'd be so lost get this thing inin the driveway, park it, and
(17:24):
it's now like 8 30 and I'mhaving a bout of extreme rancid
diarrhea, like I sometimes gethere after we have dinner, or I
have to take a break because I'mstarting to sweat it out and
need to explode out of my bottomas I'm trying to back this
thing into my driveway, where mywife doesn't know how really to
signal for people backing up inthe driveway and I'm not, I'm
(17:45):
not ready to accept that at thismoment.
So I'm just yelling at her.
Waving your hand and telling meto move back isn't helping.
I know I need to move back.
Show me how far I have to go.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Well, you're fine on this side.
I know I'm looking at you atthis side.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
I can see it too.
How am I doing over there as Istomach is?
Speaker 2 (18:06):
gurgling on me.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
You know I'm already pissed that I'm thousand dollars
cheaper, knowing I got fivethousand dollars with the shit I
gotta put into this eventually,leading into what, what Tony
alluded to earlier a new fuckingtruck to haul this piece of
shit, which will also turn intoselling this piece of shit and
getting you a bigger, moreexpensive piece of shit in three
years that you'll need a biggertruck for.
(18:29):
Exactly, is it?
easier to drive those fuckersaround, and that's after
dropping $500 on the trailerbrake system where you're like
when you sell the car you'relike.
And that's after dropping $500on the trailer brake system
where you're like when you sellthe car you're like well, I
guess that's going with it too.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Is that easier?
Speaker 1 (18:39):
to drive around After you blow your transmission
because you've been running damnnear overweight and too high on
the tongue, so yoursuspension's fucked.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Chris is on a rampage .
I can't get a fucking bird in.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
You know, the funny thing is is you're going to have
to start weighing your gear youput into it.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Oh I, your gear you put into it.
I'm fully aware, because it'sgot a 40-gallon tank for fresh
water or something.
I've got to figure out how muchthat weighs.
Then you've got to realizeyou're going to poop in that
thing and have to take that homeor to someplace.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
That's going to weigh something.
You can pump that out right atthe campground.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Your t-shirts are going to fucking weigh.
Do you know how much a t-shirtweighs?
Probably about almost a pound.
Let me ask you this?
Speaker 3 (19:18):
40 t-shirts in there.
It's like driving anotherinfant with you.
Let me ask you this real quickis it easier to drive these
things around with biggervehicles?
Of course, more power so thesmaller the vehicle wider
wheelbase the harder it is tomaneuver and drive yes,
especially when you're right up.
So what are you using?
Speaker 1 (19:33):
it's not like I got a 500 pound wood trailer where
I'm gonna haul some fuckingcarved wood up and wait on
myself.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
I got this big ass wind hauling sail behind me.
Don't even think about bringingyour own firewood.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Nothing that weighs too much.
What's?
Speaker 3 (19:45):
your vehicle again.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Dodge Grand Caravan.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Okay, so that's not ideal, is that ideal?
Speaker 1 (19:53):
You don't see many campers pulling around with a
minivan, and if you do, it'sbecause it's probably their
first season and they haven'tgotten their truck yet it's not
ideal.
Tony's laughing.
He's trying not to laugh, so itworks, but it is on the edge.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
What you just explained to me is but it's only
$1,000.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
We got such a good deal on the camper.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Wait a second.
Could I pull with my?
Oh, not to mention thesecampsites that we normally pay
18 why, oh god?
Speaker 2 (20:20):
not a fucking chance, a micro machine you have the
size of his van.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
No, it's not.
My shit's got 2000 capacity.
Your things run on triple abatteries, bro.
Yeah the rechargeable ones.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
No, what you explained about your wife poorly
backing you up the driveway is,as my standard, friday night
and entertainment we jump on thegolf cart to her how to do, and
she knows now when we get tothe campground wasn't being
patient on friday nights, me andmy boys will jump on my golf
(20:57):
cart, watch people and justslowly drive up and down by the
rentals and watch the husbandsand wife fucking screaming at
each other, with the rentalcamper, with the little doggie
in the window so fuckingstressed out, make your own
youtube channel, you might berich.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Oh, because a lot of people don't go ahead and get
this sway bar.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
I think I might even get the little extra part that
actually it's two more arms thatgo on that are held by chains,
so the weight that you'repushing down on your tongue
actually lifts up the tongueweight or whatever you know.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
the thing is is you just proved that money's no
thing.
You might as well get all thethings.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Well, the money is a.
Thing.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
It's not a.
Thing.
Yeah, how much a thousanddollars on a whim.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
How much did the hitch cost you?
Dan, it wasn't on a whim, howmuch did the hitch cost you to
add it to your van?
Speaker 1 (21:56):
When we did it, it was like 250, right, I think it
was a little more than that, butyeah.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
See, that is almost the cost of the actual thing,
Right and the electronic brakecontroller is going to be about
200, 250 bucks.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
I'm going to have to have someone install it for me
because I ain't doing that shit.
That's another 200 bucks.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Jesus Christ, and then I I'm gonna have to get the
extra new chains, new chains, Imean.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Each link's probably a dollar 85, I mean so do you
wonder why people sell these forcheap or give them away?
Speaker 1 (22:25):
I know I told the guy when I shook his hand they're
not like I'm out of the campinglife.
Nobody gets oh christ, youdon't get out, you don't get out
into camping and then goes I'mout.
I already explained how I knowthat I'm going to end up getting
a bigger truck and a biggerthing, and it's already we're
done.
We're done, dude, I'm going tohave to get a bigger house just
to put the newer, bigger fuckingRV in.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Yeah, dude, you're going to be renting land.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
It's cheaper than the storage, Am I right?
Speaker 2 (22:49):
buddy.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
That.
But I mean like so I don't,it's not that I didn't want it,
it's just.
It's another thing, dude to doand like, take care of and spend
(23:11):
money on and time on and likeworry about explain my whole
fucking fucking lists on, I know.
but everything in life and I'verealized as I get older I want
to get simpler.
My wife's in this stage whereshe seems to make things, wants
to make things a little bit morecomplex, like the dog.
That was another thing.
I was like I love the dog, I'mgoing to love this camper.
I'm not like mad about it.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Are you guys not taking in strays anymore?
Speaker 1 (23:35):
No, we still do that.
Oh for sure, we still do that.
We put them in the.
It's another thing.
It's like it's fine and it'sgreat and all.
But it's another thing andworry, oh, it's not so bad.
It's like no, you got to putthe other dog's food up and feed
the other dog, like even that.
(23:55):
It's like what are we doing?
We're building a fence.
Wife wants a fence.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
She's always wanted a fence to have the fence in for
my dog but my dog doesn't runaway no, so we don't really need
a fence.
A fence is super expensiveunless you do it yourself.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
She's doing it herself.
She's doing a great job.
Wait she is I'm not building afence.
Your wife is building a fence.
She's doing it with her dad.
Same with my basement.
I don't want to remodelbasement.
You know how much time we spendin that basement Zero time
We've never been down there,it's just a more cleaner looking
storage area.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
I couldn't imagine my wife even trying to order the
wood needed to build a fence.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
She did over order.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
The concrete so now.
I'm going to have bags ofconcrete laying around for the
next 15 years of my life.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
How many bags of concrete do you want?
I don't know for the next 15years of my life.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Tell me how many bags of concrete you want.
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Give me a hundred, tony.
You know what I'm saying, right.
You know what I'm saying right.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
His wife helps run his whole business.
My wife runs a fuckingsuccessful flooring.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
Could you see her building a fence in your
backyard?
Speaker 1 (24:58):
No, but I couldn't see Tony doing either, but they
could both figure out how tohire it.
You didn't answer the question.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
You were building a fence.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
I think she would have to ease in on a couple
smaller projects first, but Ithink she's totally capable.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
Don't bypass the actual fucking question my wife
and her dad dug four holes what?
Speaker 1 (25:20):
30 inches deep or whatever today 18 inches wide,
or whatever filled it withconcrete and put in four new
poles.
Today.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
I mean, that's the easy part.
Well, I was out working Takingthe holes.
Hardest part is leveling thefucking posts.
It's all level.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
I'm saying that's the hardest part.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
Sure run a string, I mean like the posts.
Okay, whatever, it doesn'tmatter.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
They're not cabinets.
It's a fence, yeah, but youneed a fucking plum ish, plum
ish within reason, yeah, whatare you gonna?
Speaker 3 (25:49):
do when you put the like I said.
It's not cabinets, connectingboards, and they're not fucking
plum or level, it's gonna belike a fucking warped it's gonna
look like his wife built afence so she started out.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
She's like I want this fence, I'm gonna do eight
foot vinyl and I'm like that'sgonna cost like five thousand
dollars.
She's like oh yeah, she pricedit up five thousand dollars oh
yeah so then it turned into I'mgonna do a wood fence.
And then she looked at that I'mlike, well, that's gonna be
like three thirty two hundredbucks yeah yeah, thirty two
hundred bucks oh yeah, whateverit was.
And then she was like, well,I'm just gonna buy all the
lumber and do it myself, andthen they did, and it was down
to like a thousand bucks.
(26:20):
If you buy everything yourself,it's cheap as heck.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
She's like I'm going to have a guy 3D print this
fence, but now we have a bunchof extra concrete which is like
the worst leftover.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
A 3D fucking printed fence would be like a hundred
grand.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
So, anyways, now we got a fence to enclose our
collection of dogs and our bees.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
So the fence is already done.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Almost, not almost, but it's got a good head start
on it.
It'll get done soon.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
I mean you're backtracking here.
Is it done or not?
No, it's not completely done.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
No, let's see.
I made a list of things I needto do, because I got to check
the tires.
I got to check the tires, checkthe tires.
Not only that, I got to checkthe axles to make sure that
they're greased up, because youdon't want to blow up on the
shit, you need some spare fuses.
I got to check this new chains,new plug Kind of sounds like
you wanted a little bit morethan she did, Chris, with all
these fucking check marks.
The air conditioning needsmaintenance.
(27:17):
I got to get a battery.
That's going to be like 300bucks, maybe.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
She's like Chris do worry about the fucking camper.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
The awning doesn't?
The awning's got a busted spot.
That should be fine, Worryabout the camper.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
I'm taking care of the fence, chris.
So now you have a list of shityou have to do, gotta fill them
LP tanks.
Jesus.
Yeah, I mean gotta get a waterpressure regulator.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
New water hose?
Gotta buy a poop tube.
I gotta buy a poop tube.
Yeah, I'm a poop tube purchaser.
I gotta price out some pooptubes.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
You gotta make sure you get the elbow with the
little attachment for the hose,so you can flush out the chitter
real well.
So, so you gotta get a poopstick.
Word to the wise, uh, when itcomes to your flexible shit tube
, everyone's got them.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Get the one with the clear elbow on it, you'll think
yeah, yeah, with the little hoseattachment right that you can
like backflow with you're gonna,you're gonna want to be able to
see when the water stops that'sdisgusting brown and moves to
gray yep.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
So I rented uh a.
What was it?
When I came in for the comedyspecial when we went to your
place, it was the same thing.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Right, you rented well yeah.
Kind of right Sort of Sameconcept a house on wheels.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
But it was actually a lot bigger.
Yeah, and my wife, when we wentinto the place she couldn't
stand it the whole time becauseof the bathroom and the smell
and it was.
I mean, it was, it was notpleasant but it wasn't like
overwhelming until you openedthe little fucking plastic door.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
The thing is is I'm sure nobody told you or showed
you how to use a camper toilet?
Speaker 3 (29:03):
Yeah, and that's very fucking problematic, saran wrap
, saran wrap, you, saran wrap.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
If you don't leave water in the shitter, how do you
put water in there?
Speaker 2 (29:11):
there's a certain way .
You got to fill it up withwater, how?
And then your flush has got tobe quick and and stout.
What the fuck you can't?
You can't just pussyfoot.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
So diaper toilet.
So what you gotta do is yougotta push it down a little bit
and the water starts to fill.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
You don't just go boom and stick it in, you gently
ease it in.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
You have to ease water into that tank so it has
something to flush, and then yougotta make sure it closes right
away and you want that waterthere so that stink poop smell
from the tube doesn't come upthrough the toilet and into your
air.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
It stays below the water.
I did exactly the wrong thing,because it was terrible.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
What kids do is they slowly do it with their foot,
leave that fucking shit holeopen and then, when they go to
close it, now the spring actionof it's gone, so it stays open
just a little bit, filling thecamper with the smell of your
own shit.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
It's beautiful.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
I'm glad that someone told me that.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Yeah, If you would have came over and said man,
dude, this camper smells supershitty.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
I figured that everybody fucking lives like
this around here.
I would have came over andfucking showed you how to do it.
I figured everyone around herelives like this and fucking
showed you how to do it.
I figured everyone around herelives like this, smelling like
shit.
Do you know what I findfascinating?
Speaker 1 (30:31):
about this camper life that I've now entered into
as I've come in now three daysdeep into doing research with
all of my free time on theinternet and so forth is that I
find it's fascinating that youdo not need to have any special
driving license to do this.
You do not need to have anycertifications, you don't even
(30:53):
have to really register thisthing I got.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
Just wait, chris.
But if you try to tow it withJay's car, because there's guys
out there like Jay, I fuckingtow it.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
You can spend a G and buy this thing and fucking duct
tape it to the back of theirbumper and try to drive down the
fucking road.
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
I was thinking more of like a yarn kind of.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
This shit is wild dude.
Like the danger that I'mputting my family into by
driving them in this beast, Ifeel like it's not really.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Oh, you really want to step up the game.
Let the family ride in thecamper while you're driving.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
Oh my gosh he probably already has.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
I probably will at some point.
But yeah, man, this it's wild,but it is gonna be a ton of fun.
But I can't wait for that.
First thing where you like, ripthe air off on a branch or
leave the stoop down and rip thehalf the door back you know,
you know, the fun thing is, Iforget to disconnect the pooped
stick.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
I've been professionally camping at least
13 weeks.
You don't move though 13 weeksa year.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
You don't move.
You have a house that's nicerthan mine.
On that fucking thing now.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
And I've legitimately never pulled a camper with a
truck in my life, oh my.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
God, what it's so stressful.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
The reason you see people fight when they get there
is because they've just beenlike grabbing the wheel and
holding their breath for thelast 49 miles Isn't somewhat of
a bigger boat kind of the samething, yeah, towing a boat's
kind of a pain too, so you coulddo it because you've done your
part.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Oh, I know I could do it.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
A boat is nowhere near as heavy.
You can see around and behindit.
As near as heavy.
No, you can see around andbehind it.
It is likely shorter, maybe notthan most things you're towing
as far as campers go.
It's nowhere near as tall.
I have a height restriction oflike 11 foot two inch or some
shit debate.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
You can't go through a drive-thru then cannot.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
I don't even think about it.
I can't even drive down mostneighborhood roads with this
thing because the trees are toolow.
You got to watch out forbridges dude.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
I could just see Jay and his little ass fucking van
jackknife taking out the wholeorder screen and everything
going through.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
Yeah, let me get two McChickens.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
I'm going to pull forward so the people in the
camper can order, but it's stillon my bill.
It's one car.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
We're connected, and then the person taking my order.
All they hear is All right.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
What would you like to order?
Seriously, though, but man.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
You're going to have to get that overhead face too.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
It is really sweet.
I encourage you guys to comecheck it out sometime or maybe
we'll go camping.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
I thought you were going to bring it here today.
I'm not ready to move it again,but we are going to live it
Well, because I'm not, I'm notrigged up yet we are going to
live it.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
Well, because I'm not .
I'm not rigged up yet, so we'regoing to.
How come you can't just pullstraight in somewhere and then?
Speaker 1 (33:49):
fucking just turn around.
I'm not.
Oh, I'm fine going backwards,it's just that I don't have the
right.
Like I said, I don't have turnsignal light connections yet
Nothing.
I got to get an adapter, atminimum before I can even move
it again.
But I'll probably take it up tothe place and have them put all
the towing assist shit andweight assist, tongue leveler
(34:09):
and all that crap on there soit's nice and locked in because
I'm right on my weight limitsand there's no plan or I mean
this thing.
If you had it on a nice truck,you wouldn't need that kind of
accessories because you'd have abetter weight ratio and
distribution.
But the the way I'm at, youdefinitely need it on there, I'm
thinking.
(34:29):
But we're gonna live in it thisweekend.
I'm gonna make sure thateverything works that you're
gonna turn it into the weekend.
Fuck palace, I'm gonna tell, I'mgonna tell the fam that we just
can only go inside to basically, uh, number two.
That's about it.
The rest of it we're going todo it in the machine.
It should be a good time andthen continue on this journey.
(34:52):
Man, it's wild.
I'm on this side now,apparently.
Now this thing could just bepulled in front of my front yard
and sold it.
I would bet we could put $2,800on the thing and I could sell
it in a week.
If I put $1,500, I bet I wouldsell it in a day.
It's in really great shape.
She's already fixing a coupleof this and that's and yeah it's
(35:13):
going to be good.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
You and your dad can camp now together.
There you go, bro.
Fuck yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
So that's another top shelf story.

Top Shelf Stories with Jay, chris and Tony.
Welcome everybody to Top ShelfStories Podcast with me.
(00:28):
Chris, got Jay over here.
Tony, so, guys, howdy, we, we,we.
I don't know how to start thisone.
I don't know which way do Iwant to go with this, but I'm
just going to say it.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
I heard.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
I'm just going to say it yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
You are now about that life.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
So yeah, my wife bought a camper, okay, a
tow-behind camper.
And I say my wife bought itbecause it was entirely her idea
.
Okay, it was entirely her idea.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Okay, so is this camper the right size for your
Dodge Grand Caravan?
It is within size.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Or now do you have to buy a pickup truck?
It is within size of the DodgeCaravan, which has a 3,600-pound
towing capacity.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Is buying a Caravan considered a midlife crisis.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
The trailer, the trailer camper wagon.
I think it's something to dowith that but not really.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
So this thing, it's a fucking caravan.
It's a fucking caravan.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
So my wife has wanted one of these for like two or
three years.
She's mentioned it maybe forfour or five years how it would
be neat to get one of thesethings and have it there to kind
of like tinker on and makepretty and like buy one and then
sell it and then buy anotherone and do it kind of again
after you get a little betterand sell it and then kind of
(02:01):
maybe get one If you find theperfect one that you want to
just keep you make that one nice, and then you just got a camper
she's good at taking her timeand deciding about wanting to
buy it, or you were the one thatsaid hey I, I don't want this
shit don't driveway, I don'twant to do this like it's a
great fairy tale idea.
(02:22):
Then, like a couple years ago,the grand caravan got its, got
its uh trailer hitch installed,you know.
So then we had the trailerhitch installed and we used it
to help move her sister.
Her dad took it out west andtowed her stuff back to mo you
know our town.
And then a couple more years goby and it was always a joke,
(02:44):
like anytime we're on vacation.
Good thing we got that hitch,because now we can get the boat
or the camper or the food truckor the whatever and we can fix
it up and it'll be fun and it'ssomething you talk about in the
car, right, you know well, she'sstill looking now.
Now it's like the heat got onpretty much this summer I'm
gonna look for these thingspretty heavy.
(03:05):
And she's been on the Facebookmarketplace.
She's been on all the things,seeing them on the sides of the
road wanting to stop and look atthe things.
Pop-ups, tailors tow behindslittle campers.
You've gone camping a bunch oftimes.
We recently visited Tony at hiscampground and rented a cabin
and we spend the whole timeoutside like you're camping, but
(03:26):
you just got a cabin to sleepin.
And then we did a couple yearsago, last year we did a yurt.
We stayed in the yurt but ithad power and air conditioning.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Are you saying yard?
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Yurt.
It's like a big tent, but it'slike there it's a hut kind of
thing At a campground, just likeTony's campground, where you
got an RV park there and allthese fun things to do.
And that was a lot of fun and Ialways liked camping Me too.
But now Katie likes camping, sothat's cool, right.
And then we just recently wejust went camping camping in a
(03:58):
state park for three days overthe 4th of July.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Yogi Bear.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
No state park.
I don't know what that means.
Hartman Creek State Park Okay,and that was a ton of fun.
That sounds like a place wherepeople go to bury bodies.
So now my dad has this camper.
He bought this camper car thingthat he's got, you know, the
van.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
His is way more.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
His is an amazing piece of equipment.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Like a level up from yours, though, right so then the
intensity started, was allstarting.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
You know, I want to get this thing she's showing me.
I'm like that's a hunk of junk,that's a pile of freaking sheet
metal for 4800 what are younuts?
And then it's like you thinkthe fan can hold that.
Turn that thing off, go backand do something else.
You're fixating.
I'm telling her like no, comeon, you find something that's
like free with delivery.
That's a deal, not this 1800crap you're showing me here like
(04:51):
the thing probably doesn't evenroll.
Well, three nights ago shefound, three days ago or four
days ago she found this camperon facebook marketplace and the
thing was 1500, 2002.
Keystone.
What is it a keystone?
Cabana, the 1901 series.
(05:14):
It's small, sounds amazing,it's only 2800 pounds or
something.
It's got a kitchen.
It's got a bath with, or ashower with a bath, with a
toilet in it and even a smalltub.
It sleeps a queen size wherethe kitchen goes, queen size on
one of the front end.
(05:34):
What do they call them?
Not really a pop out, it's likea hybrid, with the little tent
thing that goes out the front.
There's a tent thing that goesout the back with a bunk that
sleeps two or one and a half,two kids, one and a half adults.
How many square feet, I don'tknow.
Probably like 64.
I have no idea.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Right.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
It's like 13 feet long, seven feet wide.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
I just wanted to hear a small number.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
But it sleeps six, eight, even maybe Six and two
kids or eight kids or whatever.
It's a big camper.
Nice little thing right.
It's got an air conditioner,thing works, it's got all this.
Everything's like really greatshape.
Guy wants 1500 bucks.
She sends me this thing and I'mlike god damn it.
(06:19):
That looks like pretty gooddeal for this little hunk of
junk.
And I was like like I don'tknow and I laid back on like
okay, go back and stop fixatingon this thing.
Who cares?
We don't want this camper.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
What are you talking about?
You're like Katie stick tomaking sandwiches.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
No, not like that, but like come on, this isn't.
We don't want this.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
This is going to be expense.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Yeah, the thing and this other thing and this other
thing, and I just am doom, likedoom scrolling in my brain on
this thing.
She's like well, he said thatthe lowest he would go was a
thousand and I told him thatwe'd meet him after work today.
So do you think we can go overthere at like 630?
You really want to get rid of it.
(07:01):
I'm like God damn it, this girlreally wants this stinking
camper.
So I'm like, whatever, we'll golook at it, who cares?
Right?
But anytime you go, look at, Itold her, go to the bank, get
the thousand dollars he said itwas going to be.
If you go a thousand dollars,go get a thousand dollars.
Find out what it costs toinsure this thing.
Find out if it's the toy.
You know she does all thisresearch and she's looking up
(07:22):
this things, that and the other.
I'm looking at the, the advertfor showing a guy at work like,
look at this crap my wife wantsto buy and now it says pending.
I'm like, oh no, she did notjust go and buy this thing
without telling me that she'salready made the deal she agreed
over the phone.
No, the guy said that he put apost in the post, that he was
(07:44):
getting so many responses andeveryone needs to stop leaving
him alone because he's at workand he thinks he's got it sold.
That's why he goes down so heput it on pending.
And we showed up and we lookedat this thing and man, the guy's
like I'm getting a new camper,his wife don't like this thing.
It's got a little this overhere and this part, and I'm like
(08:05):
okay, okay.
And I was like stop telling me,bro, you're dealing with her,
like I'm here, I'm the husband,it's mine.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Like I don't even know how to hook this thing up
to the truck.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
I'm not doing this man, I wouldn't know either.
So he's like yeah, and thenyeah, then yeah, a thousand
bucks, man.
So I got this camper.
It's 18-something feet long orwhatever.
Seven and a half,seven-something feet wide.
It's taller than I can see outthe back.
Obviously I don't have theright electrical connects,
(08:38):
because this is a seven plug.
I got a four plug.
I don't have what else?
A trailer pin for the trailer.
He had this fancy one he took,but he gave me this other one,
so I just lock it in.
I have to twist the chainsbecause it's like leaning,
whatever.
It's not set up quite right.
So then I gotta back it out.
(08:58):
So this is like the first test.
I'm like if I buy this thing, Ihave to back it out of here.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
That's going to be hard.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Yeah, and I'm like there's like three cars and the
tree and these electrical lines.
I had to do basically like fiveor six straight back and forth
moves to get away from the walland then start turning towards
my car, towards the wall,turning the thing at least to my
right side, my driver's side,so I can see what I'm doing.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
This is your life.
Now it a little nerve-wrackingplus I'm like, okay, I don't
even know if I hooked up thingright, laughing at you no, he
wasn't.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
In fact he's like there's no way.
If I was gonna move it,obviously I'd have my neighbor,
I'd find out and have him movehis car here.
I'd have my brother move hisother car out of the way and I'd
pull it straight out.
But if you want to take it now,I'm like yeah, we gave you the
money, I'm gonna fucking takethe thing I'd be terrified
trying to back that shit up ohman if I pulled it up on google
maps where I was, you guys wouldbe like there's no way you did
(09:56):
that.
And even the guy was like thatwas pretty amazing man, you did
better than I would ever wouldhave done so have you ever had.
I used to do a dump truckdriver and I used to drive with
the trailer on it and that's waymore weight and way more length
, way more height okay, off theroad.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
I, I'm a novice, completely and driving stick
shift truck yeah, I would youturn one way.
That fucking trailer goes theother way, right?
Speaker 1 (10:21):
that's how it kind of works, kind of opposite how
your brain wants it to work.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
So basically, I would be fucked.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Well, I did it about 80 times, or 80% of the time
turn the wrong way first.
No, when you first this one nolike every time I wanted it to
go left, I'd turn left.
I'm like no right, no, so yeahbut you figure it out right.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
That terrifies me, and I always wanted to have a
trailer for a boat or somethingand I always figured like For me
to do something like that, Ifeel like my mind would have to
work in different ways.
It's not normally.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Watching people back things up is my favorite thing
to do, oh the boat launch and abeer and a chair is a Saturday
man.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
That's a whole Saturday they have a show on
YouTube about that and I wasjust watching that recently and
there was a guy that took threehours and I think he was trying,
he was testing or figuring outhow to do it, but he could not
do it like literally.
It seemed so easy seeing it froma perspective of a youtuber
(11:28):
yeah but like in my eye or theway I was thinking about, I'm
like dude.
There's no way I could do it.
I feel bad for that guy.
I I feel terrible.
He's laughing at him, but Ifeel fucking terrible.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
I definitely knew I could do it, but I definitely
thought it would be easier forme than it was to do.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Does it matter if it's a boat or if it's what you
purchased or does?
Speaker 2 (11:51):
it matter, the shorter the trailer the harder
it is.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Because it wants to turn.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
So I remember when one of our first guide trips we
had you left with the boat oryou put the boat in the water
and you told us to back the shitin to the place and we're like
it took us a half hour.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
In empty white trailers hard too.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
We still didn't do it , so we picked up your fucking
thing and carried it.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
You moved the back end of the trailer to where you
want it yes, because we're likefuck this dude, there's no way
we're doing this.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
It's so easy to back up a trailer.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
So this thing's way too heavy.
Obviously it's so easy.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Dude, you weren't there.
You're not there, Tony.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
So towing recommends that I have a trailer brake
installed, of course, andtrailer brake controls which it
has trailer brakes, electronictrailer brakes but you need a
brake controller to control thebrakes, when you hit the brakes
and how much it's breaking whenyou know that that new Dodge Ram
, she's looking all built inthere.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Right, it's already got like sensors that look at
the thing, why that's anecessity.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
So let's say you're going 80 miles an hour Down the
highway and you try to stop yourboat or your trailer.
It doesn't want to stop, but ifyou have Brake controls that
when you hit the brake it alsohits the electronic brakes On
the back.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
It'll help stop you.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
So if you're going, say, down a hill, you can
actually Engage the brakes Towork harder On the thing you're
towing so it doesn't creep upand push you, it's stopping.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
I just don't know until.
I guess I'd be in thatsituation.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
So, anyways, you don't want to have things.
It doesn't make sense.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
I hit the brakes, the fucking thing stops.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Well, think about like.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
I got 600 pounds of tile on my back.
I hit the brakes.
It stops.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
It's like like yeah, kind of like that, but the tile
wants to keep going forward, butanyway.
So I don't have this hooked upand I'm going down 92nd street I
can't see around it because Idon't have mirror clips that are
long enough on my dodge grandcaravan to see around this thing
, so I need those.
I don't have any like swaycontrol or anything, which I
probably will need for longertrips because this thing is near
the vehicle way you should.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
You should really have it for any trips what the
fuck is sway control?
Speaker 3 (14:02):
so any trips for sure for sure explain to me what
sway control, control.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
So if you're driving down the street and a semi truck
drives past you and blows youaround in your car, now imagine
that there's just this 2600pound other car tied to the back
of yours that's built like awall it catches all that air and
wants to swing around.
Wow.
Well, this thing goes as likealmost a crutch to your towing
(14:28):
apparatuses and it's likeresistant to turning, so the
wind doesn't turn it.
But when you turn, turn it itdoes.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
It slides a bar.
What if that happens?
It's really bad.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
A sway, whatever it will turn your car over.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
So can you like with professional people that drive
these fuckers, can they figureout how to fucking maneuver it?
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Normally it just means slowing down and stopping
completely and then going again.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
That scares the shit out of me.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Did you ever, um, what's something you might have
done?
Nothing?
I even okay, I didn't even pull.
Okay, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
You look like you look like you used to skateboard
, did you?
Speaker 2 (15:10):
ever skateboard, okay , for decades.
Did you ever ride yourskateboard down a hill that was
slightly too steep, yeah, andthen hit a rock and then you do
the death wobble you ever donethat.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Where you start wiggling and you can't stop
wiggling until you basicallycrash.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
I've had it.
Yeah, I've had the wigglebefore, but I've always been.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Well, you either got to start slowing down or you got
to go off, or you see theyoutube videos where people are
getting pulled behind a car ontheir, their skateboard and they
start wobbling and they can'twobble.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
That's retarded.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Well, if you had another arm that could hold the
back of the truck while you werebeing told you could straighten
yourself out.
Well, this is like another armthat straightens.
That's crazy.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
I didn't even knew that was a thing.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Yeah, either did I when my wife bought a camper,
because I was asking her on theway there.
I'm like so where are we goingto put this?
She's like I don't know, whatdo you mean?
Speaker 2 (16:05):
I'm like, well, like, for example, right when we go
there, I have to move one of mythree fire pits.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
If we give, we're gonna take it with us.
Where are we gonna put it?
Oh, in our driveway.
I'm like, okay, three weeksfrom now.
Where are we gonna put it?
We'll probably be in thedriveway.
I'm like, all right that.
I mean okay, six months fromnow.
Where are we gonna put it?
Well, your grandpas are on thepatio and I'm like, yeah, see,
(16:32):
you didn't think this through.
You've been dreaming for threeyears about an rv and now it's
here.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
We're not quite ready .
I'll tell you what.
Just park it in the front lawn.
Leave it there.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
I didn't know my plug wasn't going to work.
I didn't even think about howthe RV has a completely
different plug because it hasall the accessories.
You can run off your auxiliarypower of your vehicle if you
want to, your battery would bedead.
I didn't think about how Icouldn't see behind the thing
while I was driving.
I didn't think about how I wasbecoming to be dusk and I didn't
have brake lights or turnsignals, and no one could see
(17:03):
mine.
I didn't think about all kindsof things.
I was bopping up and down 92ndStreet.
I did stop twice to make sure Istill had the fucking thing
hooked up, though I'll tell youthat the chains were too long,
so they're all twisted basicallydoing nothing if it fell off
they would probably snap frombeing twisted.
I'd be so lost get this thing inin the driveway, park it, and
(17:24):
it's now like 8 30 and I'mhaving a bout of extreme rancid
diarrhea, like I sometimes gethere after we have dinner, or I
have to take a break because I'mstarting to sweat it out and
need to explode out of my bottomas I'm trying to back this
thing into my driveway, where mywife doesn't know how really to
signal for people backing up inthe driveway and I'm not, I'm
(17:45):
not ready to accept that at thismoment.
So I'm just yelling at her.
Waving your hand and telling meto move back isn't helping.
I know I need to move back.
Show me how far I have to go.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Well, you're fine on this side.
I know I'm looking at you atthis side.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
I can see it too.
How am I doing over there as Istomach is?
Speaker 2 (18:06):
gurgling on me.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
You know I'm already pissed that I'm thousand dollars
cheaper, knowing I got fivethousand dollars with the shit I
gotta put into this eventually,leading into what, what Tony
alluded to earlier a new fuckingtruck to haul this piece of
shit, which will also turn intoselling this piece of shit and
getting you a bigger, moreexpensive piece of shit in three
years that you'll need a biggertruck for.
(18:29):
Exactly, is it?
easier to drive those fuckersaround, and that's after
dropping $500 on the trailerbrake system where you're like
when you sell the car you'relike.
And that's after dropping $500on the trailer brake system
where you're like when you sellthe car you're like well, I
guess that's going with it too.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Is that easier?
Speaker 1 (18:39):
to drive around After you blow your transmission
because you've been running damnnear overweight and too high on
the tongue, so yoursuspension's fucked.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Chris is on a rampage .
I can't get a fucking bird in.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
You know, the funny thing is is you're going to have
to start weighing your gear youput into it.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Oh I, your gear you put into it.
I'm fully aware, because it'sgot a 40-gallon tank for fresh
water or something.
I've got to figure out how muchthat weighs.
Then you've got to realizeyou're going to poop in that
thing and have to take that homeor to someplace.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
That's going to weigh something.
You can pump that out right atthe campground.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Your t-shirts are going to fucking weigh.
Do you know how much a t-shirtweighs?
Probably about almost a pound.
Let me ask you this?
Speaker 3 (19:18):
40 t-shirts in there.
It's like driving anotherinfant with you.
Let me ask you this real quickis it easier to drive these
things around with biggervehicles?
Of course, more power so thesmaller the vehicle wider
wheelbase the harder it is tomaneuver and drive yes,
especially when you're right up.
So what are you using?
Speaker 1 (19:33):
it's not like I got a 500 pound wood trailer where
I'm gonna haul some fuckingcarved wood up and wait on
myself.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
I got this big ass wind hauling sail behind me.
Don't even think about bringingyour own firewood.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Nothing that weighs too much.
What's?
Speaker 3 (19:45):
your vehicle again.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Dodge Grand Caravan.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Okay, so that's not ideal, is that ideal?
Speaker 1 (19:53):
You don't see many campers pulling around with a
minivan, and if you do, it'sbecause it's probably their
first season and they haven'tgotten their truck yet it's not
ideal.
Tony's laughing.
He's trying not to laugh, so itworks, but it is on the edge.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
What you just explained to me is but it's only
$1,000.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
We got such a good deal on the camper.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Wait a second.
Could I pull with my?
Oh, not to mention thesecampsites that we normally pay
18 why, oh god?
Speaker 2 (20:20):
not a fucking chance, a micro machine you have the
size of his van.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
No, it's not.
My shit's got 2000 capacity.
Your things run on triple abatteries, bro.
Yeah the rechargeable ones.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
No, what you explained about your wife poorly
backing you up the driveway is,as my standard, friday night
and entertainment we jump on thegolf cart to her how to do, and
she knows now when we get tothe campground wasn't being
patient on friday nights, me andmy boys will jump on my golf
(20:57):
cart, watch people and justslowly drive up and down by the
rentals and watch the husbandsand wife fucking screaming at
each other, with the rentalcamper, with the little doggie
in the window so fuckingstressed out, make your own
youtube channel, you might berich.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Oh, because a lot of people don't go ahead and get
this sway bar.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
I think I might even get the little extra part that
actually it's two more arms thatgo on that are held by chains,
so the weight that you'repushing down on your tongue
actually lifts up the tongueweight or whatever you know.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
the thing is is you just proved that money's no
thing.
You might as well get all thethings.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Well, the money is a.
Thing.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
It's not a.
Thing.
Yeah, how much a thousanddollars on a whim.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
How much did the hitch cost you?
Dan, it wasn't on a whim, howmuch did the hitch cost you to
add it to your van?
Speaker 1 (21:56):
When we did it, it was like 250, right, I think it
was a little more than that, butyeah.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
See, that is almost the cost of the actual thing,
Right and the electronic brakecontroller is going to be about
200, 250 bucks.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
I'm going to have to have someone install it for me
because I ain't doing that shit.
That's another 200 bucks.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Jesus Christ, and then I I'm gonna have to get the
extra new chains, new chains, Imean.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Each link's probably a dollar 85, I mean so do you
wonder why people sell these forcheap or give them away?
Speaker 1 (22:25):
I know I told the guy when I shook his hand they're
not like I'm out of the campinglife.
Nobody gets oh christ, youdon't get out, you don't get out
into camping and then goes I'mout.
I already explained how I knowthat I'm going to end up getting
a bigger truck and a biggerthing, and it's already we're
done.
We're done, dude, I'm going tohave to get a bigger house just
to put the newer, bigger fuckingRV in.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Yeah, dude, you're going to be renting land.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
It's cheaper than the storage, Am I right?
Speaker 2 (22:49):
buddy.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
That.
But I mean like so I don't,it's not that I didn't want it,
it's just.
It's another thing, dude to doand like, take care of and spend
(23:11):
money on and time on and likeworry about explain my whole
fucking fucking lists on, I know.
but everything in life and I'verealized as I get older I want
to get simpler.
My wife's in this stage whereshe seems to make things, wants
to make things a little bit morecomplex, like the dog.
That was another thing.
I was like I love the dog, I'mgoing to love this camper.
I'm not like mad about it.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Are you guys not taking in strays anymore?
Speaker 1 (23:35):
No, we still do that.
Oh for sure, we still do that.
We put them in the.
It's another thing.
It's like it's fine and it'sgreat and all.
But it's another thing andworry, oh, it's not so bad.
It's like no, you got to putthe other dog's food up and feed
the other dog, like even that.
(23:55):
It's like what are we doing?
We're building a fence.
Wife wants a fence.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
She's always wanted a fence to have the fence in for
my dog but my dog doesn't runaway no, so we don't really need
a fence.
A fence is super expensiveunless you do it yourself.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
She's doing it herself.
She's doing a great job.
Wait she is I'm not building afence.
Your wife is building a fence.
She's doing it with her dad.
Same with my basement.
I don't want to remodelbasement.
You know how much time we spendin that basement Zero time
We've never been down there,it's just a more cleaner looking
storage area.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
I couldn't imagine my wife even trying to order the
wood needed to build a fence.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
She did over order.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
The concrete so now.
I'm going to have bags ofconcrete laying around for the
next 15 years of my life.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
How many bags of concrete do you want?
I don't know for the next 15years of my life.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Tell me how many bags of concrete you want.
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Give me a hundred, tony.
You know what I'm saying, right.
You know what I'm saying right.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
His wife helps run his whole business.
My wife runs a fuckingsuccessful flooring.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
Could you see her building a fence in your
backyard?
Speaker 1 (24:58):
No, but I couldn't see Tony doing either, but they
could both figure out how tohire it.
You didn't answer the question.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
You were building a fence.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
I think she would have to ease in on a couple
smaller projects first, but Ithink she's totally capable.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
Don't bypass the actual fucking question my wife
and her dad dug four holes what?
Speaker 1 (25:20):
30 inches deep or whatever today 18 inches wide,
or whatever filled it withconcrete and put in four new
poles.
Today.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
I mean, that's the easy part.
Well, I was out working Takingthe holes.
Hardest part is leveling thefucking posts.
It's all level.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
I'm saying that's the hardest part.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
Sure run a string, I mean like the posts.
Okay, whatever, it doesn'tmatter.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
They're not cabinets.
It's a fence, yeah, but youneed a fucking plum ish, plum
ish within reason, yeah, whatare you gonna?
Speaker 3 (25:49):
do when you put the like I said.
It's not cabinets, connectingboards, and they're not fucking
plum or level, it's gonna belike a fucking warped it's gonna
look like his wife built afence so she started out.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
She's like I want this fence, I'm gonna do eight
foot vinyl and I'm like that'sgonna cost like five thousand
dollars.
She's like oh yeah, she pricedit up five thousand dollars oh
yeah so then it turned into I'mgonna do a wood fence.
And then she looked at that I'mlike, well, that's gonna be
like three thirty two hundredbucks yeah yeah, thirty two
hundred bucks oh yeah, whateverit was.
And then she was like, well,I'm just gonna buy all the
lumber and do it myself, andthen they did, and it was down
to like a thousand bucks.
(26:20):
If you buy everything yourself,it's cheap as heck.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
She's like I'm going to have a guy 3D print this
fence, but now we have a bunchof extra concrete which is like
the worst leftover.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
A 3D fucking printed fence would be like a hundred
grand.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
So, anyways, now we got a fence to enclose our
collection of dogs and our bees.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
So the fence is already done.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Almost, not almost, but it's got a good head start
on it.
It'll get done soon.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
I mean you're backtracking here.
Is it done or not?
No, it's not completely done.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
No, let's see.
I made a list of things I needto do, because I got to check
the tires.
I got to check the tires, checkthe tires.
Not only that, I got to checkthe axles to make sure that
they're greased up, because youdon't want to blow up on the
shit, you need some spare fuses.
I got to check this new chains,new plug Kind of sounds like
you wanted a little bit morethan she did, Chris, with all
these fucking check marks.
The air conditioning needsmaintenance.
(27:17):
I got to get a battery.
That's going to be like 300bucks, maybe.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
She's like Chris do worry about the fucking camper.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
The awning doesn't?
The awning's got a busted spot.
That should be fine, Worryabout the camper.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
I'm taking care of the fence, chris.
So now you have a list of shityou have to do, gotta fill them
LP tanks.
Jesus.
Yeah, I mean gotta get a waterpressure regulator.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
New water hose?
Gotta buy a poop tube.
I gotta buy a poop tube.
Yeah, I'm a poop tube purchaser.
I gotta price out some pooptubes.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
You gotta make sure you get the elbow with the
little attachment for the hose,so you can flush out the chitter
real well.
So, so you gotta get a poopstick.
Word to the wise, uh, when itcomes to your flexible shit tube
, everyone's got them.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Get the one with the clear elbow on it, you'll think
yeah, yeah, with the little hoseattachment right that you can
like backflow with you're gonna,you're gonna want to be able to
see when the water stops that'sdisgusting brown and moves to
gray yep.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
So I rented uh a.
What was it?
When I came in for the comedyspecial when we went to your
place, it was the same thing.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Right, you rented well yeah.
Kind of right Sort of Sameconcept a house on wheels.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
But it was actually a lot bigger.
Yeah, and my wife, when we wentinto the place she couldn't
stand it the whole time becauseof the bathroom and the smell
and it was.
I mean, it was, it was notpleasant but it wasn't like
overwhelming until you openedthe little fucking plastic door.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
The thing is is I'm sure nobody told you or showed
you how to use a camper toilet?
Speaker 3 (29:03):
Yeah, and that's very fucking problematic, saran wrap
, saran wrap, you, saran wrap.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
If you don't leave water in the shitter, how do you
put water in there?
Speaker 2 (29:11):
there's a certain way .
You got to fill it up withwater, how?
And then your flush has got tobe quick and and stout.
What the fuck you can't?
You can't just pussyfoot.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
So diaper toilet.
So what you gotta do is yougotta push it down a little bit
and the water starts to fill.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
You don't just go boom and stick it in, you gently
ease it in.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
You have to ease water into that tank so it has
something to flush, and then yougotta make sure it closes right
away and you want that waterthere so that stink poop smell
from the tube doesn't come upthrough the toilet and into your
air.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
It stays below the water.
I did exactly the wrong thing,because it was terrible.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
What kids do is they slowly do it with their foot,
leave that fucking shit holeopen and then, when they go to
close it, now the spring actionof it's gone, so it stays open
just a little bit, filling thecamper with the smell of your
own shit.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
It's beautiful.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
I'm glad that someone told me that.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Yeah, If you would have came over and said man,
dude, this camper smells supershitty.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
I figured that everybody fucking lives like
this around here.
I would have came over andfucking showed you how to do it.
I figured everyone around herelives like this and fucking
showed you how to do it.
I figured everyone around herelives like this, smelling like
shit.
Do you know what I findfascinating?
Speaker 1 (30:31):
about this camper life that I've now entered into
as I've come in now three daysdeep into doing research with
all of my free time on theinternet and so forth is that I
find it's fascinating that youdo not need to have any special
driving license to do this.
You do not need to have anycertifications, you don't even
(30:53):
have to really register thisthing I got.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
Just wait, chris.
But if you try to tow it withJay's car, because there's guys
out there like Jay, I fuckingtow it.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
You can spend a G and buy this thing and fucking duct
tape it to the back of theirbumper and try to drive down the
fucking road.
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
I was thinking more of like a yarn kind of.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
This shit is wild dude.
Like the danger that I'mputting my family into by
driving them in this beast, Ifeel like it's not really.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Oh, you really want to step up the game.
Let the family ride in thecamper while you're driving.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
Oh my gosh he probably already has.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
I probably will at some point.
But yeah, man, this it's wild,but it is gonna be a ton of fun.
But I can't wait for that.
First thing where you like, ripthe air off on a branch or
leave the stoop down and rip thehalf the door back you know,
you know, the fun thing is, Iforget to disconnect the pooped
stick.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
I've been professionally camping at least
13 weeks.
You don't move though 13 weeksa year.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
You don't move.
You have a house that's nicerthan mine.
On that fucking thing now.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
And I've legitimately never pulled a camper with a
truck in my life, oh my.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
God, what it's so stressful.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
The reason you see people fight when they get there
is because they've just beenlike grabbing the wheel and
holding their breath for thelast 49 miles Isn't somewhat of
a bigger boat kind of the samething, yeah, towing a boat's
kind of a pain too, so you coulddo it because you've done your
part.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Oh, I know I could do it.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
A boat is nowhere near as heavy.
You can see around and behindit.
As near as heavy.
No, you can see around andbehind it.
It is likely shorter, maybe notthan most things you're towing
as far as campers go.
It's nowhere near as tall.
I have a height restriction oflike 11 foot two inch or some
shit debate.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
You can't go through a drive-thru then cannot.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
I don't even think about it.
I can't even drive down mostneighborhood roads with this
thing because the trees are toolow.
You got to watch out forbridges dude.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
I could just see Jay and his little ass fucking van
jackknife taking out the wholeorder screen and everything
going through.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
Yeah, let me get two McChickens.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
I'm going to pull forward so the people in the
camper can order, but it's stillon my bill.
It's one car.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
We're connected, and then the person taking my order.
All they hear is All right.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
What would you like to order?
Seriously, though, but man.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
You're going to have to get that overhead face too.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
It is really sweet.
I encourage you guys to comecheck it out sometime or maybe
we'll go camping.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
I thought you were going to bring it here today.
I'm not ready to move it again,but we are going to live it
Well, because I'm not, I'm notrigged up yet we are going to
live it.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
Well, because I'm not .
I'm not rigged up yet, so we'regoing to.
How come you can't just pullstraight in somewhere and then?
Speaker 1 (33:49):
fucking just turn around.
I'm not.
Oh, I'm fine going backwards,it's just that I don't have the
right.
Like I said, I don't have turnsignal light connections yet
Nothing.
I got to get an adapter, atminimum before I can even move
it again.
But I'll probably take it up tothe place and have them put all
the towing assist shit andweight assist, tongue leveler
(34:09):
and all that crap on there soit's nice and locked in because
I'm right on my weight limitsand there's no plan or I mean
this thing.
If you had it on a nice truck,you wouldn't need that kind of
accessories because you'd have abetter weight ratio and
distribution.
But the the way I'm at, youdefinitely need it on there, I'm
thinking.
(34:29):
But we're gonna live in it thisweekend.
I'm gonna make sure thateverything works that you're
gonna turn it into the weekend.
Fuck palace, I'm gonna tell, I'mgonna tell the fam that we just
can only go inside to basically, uh, number two.
That's about it.
The rest of it we're going todo it in the machine.
It should be a good time andthen continue on this journey.
(34:52):
Man, it's wild.
I'm on this side now,apparently.
Now this thing could just bepulled in front of my front yard
and sold it.
I would bet we could put $2,800on the thing and I could sell
it in a week.
If I put $1,500, I bet I wouldsell it in a day.
It's in really great shape.
She's already fixing a coupleof this and that's and yeah it's
(35:13):
going to be good.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
You and your dad can camp now together.
There you go, bro.
Fuck yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
So that's another top shelf story.
