From DIY Fails To Pro Clips

SPEAKER_03 0:00

There's that amusement park in Ohio. It's like excavator land. You could operate a crane.

SPEAKER_02 0:06

Could you imagine like just sitting here? Sitting on Jane's lap running an excavator.

SPEAKER_13 0:15

Yes, guys loved us diving into tearing apart DIY fails from wherever we can find them on the internet. So we are going pro this week, or at least we're going to act like we are. And we're diving into everything that we can find on TikTok, on Reddit, on whatever garbage corner of the internet in regards to construction and warehouse work failures. We've got some good stuff lined up for you here. I'm not even gonna juzge this episode. Since our last episode, where we reviewed the shaking naked guys that were framing and stuff that are gonna hold the David Daniel Nichols or something with it. Yeah, them guys just making shit up and getting billions of views.

SPEAKER_02 0:57

Before you say anything else, you know I didn't know this. There's a crew of them.

SPEAKER_13 1:00

Yeah, there's a crew.

SPEAKER_02 1:01

There's like five of them.

SPEAKER_13 1:02

I've just seen I got served the female in the crew recently. I didn't know there was a female. And you could just tell they're riding the wave because she was 100% acting. Yeah. And I was like, man, she just doesn't, she doesn't have the juzge. Um so I don't know if you've have you seen that? I've seen no, I've seen them.

SPEAKER_02 1:18

I've been getting served their long form videos. They have long form. I saw they tried to build a video. They're like building a barn to mini. They're trying to build like a barn dominium right now. And it's just like four dudes without a shirt on, like with like short jeans and toe belts, like they're all posing in different ways in a thumbnail. Let me see if I can find this.

SPEAKER_13 1:40

It'd be that. No, dude, but I saw them, yeah, they just like Jiggly Boy Returns. What are you watching on here? Chuck some uh young lady in there, and it was not the same. They threw out to the wolves. I wonder so I really hope these guys aren't trying to get like jobs from this content. I I don't think that's because the only thing they're gonna get is views.

SPEAKER_02 2:10

It's NB construction, isn't it? Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 2:14

I mean, they're they're getting the views. No, they're not. 59,000 views saying that.

SPEAKER_03 2:22

There's 649,000, 220, 100.

SPEAKER_02 2:26

Tried to build a house in five days, four brothers in the clock.

SPEAKER_13 2:31

Can't we? Just look at these thumbnails, these thumbnails is just how they have their their handle in the title. Like guys.

SPEAKER_02 2:39

Maybe they are an acting man. I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 2:43

I mean, I I think there has to be at least a little bit of truth. There's a little bit of truth. I almost feel like maybe they kind of got clowned on for a couple things. It's like, let's actually just lean into that harder. Probably. It can't all be a character. Maybe it is. Maybe they're like the Andy Kaufmans of uh the construction industry. Anywho. That's an incredibly weird reference. What? Is that a weird reference? Where were you going with that? Like maybe they're it's all like a ruse. Like maybe even like they're you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_13 3:13

Like we think Kaufman was faking it the whole time. Exactly.

SPEAKER_03 3:16

These guys might look like they might not even do construction. They may be like faking it to a whole nother level.

SPEAKER_13 3:22

Like they might be professional actors. Absolutely. Or wanting to be. Alright. What do we got first here, sir?

SPEAKER_02 3:31

We have a little compilation video up first. We love the compilations. Sorry, it's vertical. It's meant for that home viewers, not us.

SPEAKER_13 3:38

So we've got a couple people outside a building. A wheelbarrow. Oh. You gotta love. My favorite with these are just like the unexpectedness of it, right? And the two and like the the the 720p quality.

SPEAKER_03 4:00

It looks like they knew it was coming, though. Like he's got that wheelbarrow there. Yeah, I'm wondering where he's trying to deflect the water.

SPEAKER_02 4:05

I think he just caught him off guard as far as how how hard it came how. Where are you trying to go with that water, buddy? It just took him too, man. Like he's skating.

SPEAKER_04 4:15

Is that a Jackson Wilbur, though? Oh. I wish Oh boy. Oh boy. It's actually so impressive.

SPEAKER_02 4:22

What is going on? What's impressive about it? Look at it there's no one driving. Look at the drifting. That's even more impressive.

SPEAKER_03 4:28

They're ghost drift control.

SPEAKER_02 4:30

The fact that it hasn't turned over and it's just by itself.

SPEAKER_13 4:33

Usually I'd love to see whoever was driving get off of it.

SPEAKER_02 4:36

I I wonder if this is terrifying. Yeah, that one. The big machines are terrifying when they're someone in that? Yeah, there was a dude in there.

SPEAKER_13 4:46

What do you do in that situation? It could be orchestrated. He could be that good.

SPEAKER_03 4:51

He might be.

SPEAKER_13 4:52

I think someone's just doing it drifting an excavator.

SPEAKER_03 4:55

It might be like a Pittsburgh driver. You'll see people in Pittsburgh in the wintertime drift in their cars like that, spin it right back around, stick their coffee, smoke their cigarette.

SPEAKER_02 5:03

Yeah, but you make one wrong, wrong, one wrong turn with that. That's you, giving yourself an excuse.

SPEAKER_13 5:09

The next time you see a gulf on the sideways, it's my 7-Eleven.

SPEAKER_02 5:15

Sam guys, Sam is drifting. He's you're just trying to I'll never forget.

SPEAKER_03 5:19

I had such a scary moment last winter with the ranger. I was coming down that hill to turn in here, and I like, I was, I swear to God, I was going like 10, but it was super icy, and I went to make that turn. The whole truck just starts going sideways. Like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. And I came into I can't say the road, just like fully horizontal, and I straightened it back out. My heart's just like beating through my chest. It was so bad.

SPEAKER_02 5:41

You'll learn, man. When you start sliding, you gotta hit that gas, and you gotta start getting it back together.

SPEAKER_13 5:48

We should do some slide training. Yeah. Some drift training. Sam did do his first job interview though in a Fast and Furious Tokyo drift t-shirt.

SPEAKER_02 5:56

I think that people actually enjoyed this. What do you guys think is about to happen here?

SPEAKER_13 6:00

Uh my guess is the dude's gonna push on that board and then something unexpected is gonna smack him in the face.

SPEAKER_03 6:07

I he's probably gonna like I think he's gonna slip off the board and it's probably gonna hit him right in the old cross.

SPEAKER_02 6:14

I could see him like get his leg going over and doing a split over top of it or something.

SPEAKER_13 6:20

Oh we're all wrong. That's he tried to jump on it.

SPEAKER_03 6:25

House I'm scared. What do you this is like that dude that was welding at the NASCAR race?

SPEAKER_13 6:34

Oh, hold on. All right. First off, uh, you can change the direction of that grinder and not blast yourself directly in the mouth. Look how he's holding it. Yeah, that thing's ready to just spin out of it.

SPEAKER_02 6:44

Look how he's holding it. Run up his chin. Upside down and backwards.

SPEAKER_13 6:49

Yeah, yeah. I wonder if he had to actually like earn the safety vest in the hard hat, or they just gave it to him and said, Here you go, buddy, good luck. He just like it's like he couldn't be more wrong and everything in that clip there. He had to earn it. Yeah, like like you gotta get like No Tim, you can't have it yet. Earn it, man. Yeah, you gotta be like an apprentice or something. Oh, it looks it's mis it hurts. It hurts my face.

SPEAKER_02 7:15

He's not even wearing safety glasses. That's the thing.

SPEAKER_13 7:18

He's not even wearing shop shades. Yeah, that guy should hunt him.

SPEAKER_02 7:22

Best protecting the eye wearing. Let's find him. This is hurts my inside. Just get scaffolding. Oh bro.

SPEAKER_13 7:30

Oh boy. I didn't see that coming.

SPEAKER_12 7:33

What did you do? What did she think was gonna happen?

SPEAKER_02 7:39

Oh, oh man.

unknown 7:48

Wow.

SPEAKER_02 7:50

Dude. Through the roof. That must be an old roof. No way, dude. That's brand new.

SPEAKER_13 7:56

No way. But they probably just missed a Yeah, okay. Maybe that's not it. Yeah, he hit the gap in the sheet. It's not on a stud.

SPEAKER_02 8:05

Could you imagine like you're carrying all those things?

SPEAKER_03 8:08

Could you imagine doing all that in capries? Like That is an interesting. Interesting show. You're doing all that work and then you just have it fall through the roof.

SPEAKER_13 8:17

Oh, on top of it, you're wearing Capri's. His shoulder, man. Oh, what's going on? These could you can't compilation us like this, Joe. Sorry. It's just too much.

unknown 8:28

What's happening?

SPEAKER_03 8:34

I say we test this one. We could test it. Well, it wasn't even a fail. I mean, he's obviously using the tamping iron like that.

SPEAKER_02 8:44

We need anything that needs damp? Part of me thinks he got stuck there and he couldn't get off it. I mean, that's probably a wicked thing that once you're you get going like that if you're trying to mess around.

SPEAKER_13 8:53

That's hilarious. Incredible talents. Like, let's give that guy a round of applause for a sports night. He's just able to balance on top of it. It could be like a redneck bull riding. Ooh. Ooh. You know what we should do? We should rent one and then see who can ride it the longest and gamble on it. That'd be an very interesting.

SPEAKER_02 9:15

Oh man, I can only imagine this one.

SPEAKER_13 9:17

I see these all the time. Yo.

SPEAKER_02 9:22

I hate how they cut it short. Some of these, it was just like, I want to see what unfolds. I think we do it. The scaffolding is what unfolds. Yeah, no, I mean like I want to see the disaster afterwards.

SPEAKER_13 9:31

You're not wrong. It is sad. Sad to not know the final part of the story there.

Heavy Machinery Gets Terrifying Fast

SPEAKER_13 9:38

Alright, we're moving into big machinery.

SPEAKER_02 9:40

This big machinery, this is TikTok. Okay.

SPEAKER_13 9:43

So, first off, I I did preface, and I'll preface again. I'll give you 50 bucks you can tell me whatever the hell that machine's called because I don't think any of us have a clue.

SPEAKER_02 9:56

I think it's a grater. It's for um I know what a grater is. I think it's for like it pulls up, I I think I think it pulls up dirt and like shoots it or something. I don't know. It's for like building roads, potentially. Dude, I don't know. I can't really see it. The world of heavy machinery is insane. Yeah, the amount of stuff. I'm probably wrong. Hopefully, I would love to. We should go test heavy machinery.

SPEAKER_13 10:16

We've been trying for years. You you made those budget cuts, remember? Yeah, well, too many Ryobi tools. I made those too many employees.

SPEAKER_05 10:28

You want me to I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 10:34

If there's someone watching, we would love to come test your heavy machinery.

SPEAKER_13 10:37

Yeah, I mean we'll sign waivers. Uh yes. I will I will sign most things. Or we join Pendot for a day.

SPEAKER_02 10:46

You know, that'd be a great video. We'd just be standing there. So I just stand there with a road through signs. I would actually sweating and making $48.

SPEAKER_13 10:55

Make $48 an hour. Yeah, doing just in the heat. Spin. Tax dollars at work, BA. Let's go. All right, let's let's dive into it. But none of us are anything like, oh my God. Wow. No.

SPEAKER_12 11:08

No. He went.

SPEAKER_02 11:09

Why are you still going? Hold on. Maybe the brakes.

SPEAKER_13 11:12

I've never turned a wheel on one of those things, but I would assume it turns like a normal wheel.

SPEAKER_02 11:16

Maybe his brakes went. Are they yelling?

SPEAKER_13 11:18

How much do you pay for the new value? How much you pay him for it?

SPEAKER_02 11:24

I hope his brakes went, because why would you continuously just keep going?

SPEAKER_13 11:28

Unless that it just kind of like took you up the hill and you couldn't stop because they're just such a gritty irre.

SPEAKER_03 11:33

Are all these gonna be the heavy machine machinery ones freak me out more? Because at least like the prior ones you showed us, it's like, okay, it's someone making a mistake or doing something little, but like a mistake like that, that's like a tens of thousands of dollars. Probably a hundred dollars. That's such a giant machine. That machine's like a million dollars, probably.

SPEAKER_13 11:50

Hold on, I got an excavator. Hundreds of thousands of dollars. I had a my my my heavy machinery buddy who passed. He used to be able to open a like a pop bottle with uh an excavator.

SPEAKER_02 12:06

They have an excavator Olympics. Yeah, okay. We have a minute here of excavator fails. Excellent. I'll try the music if I'm gonna go.

SPEAKER_13 12:12

I was actually when I woke up today, I was like, I want at least 45 seconds of excavator fails in my life. I was just glad you gave me a minute.

SPEAKER_02 12:20

I don't know what music this is. Let me hear it real quick. Copyrighted.

SPEAKER_04 12:31

Oh man. Dueling machinery. I think the first one.

SPEAKER_13 12:35

Since the music's gone. Alright, so the counterweight is like where that tongue is is the counter. Uh you guys ever driven one of these? No.

SPEAKER_02 12:47

An excavator? Yeah, excavator is a few.

SPEAKER_13 12:50

We can just we can literally just go get one. It's like I've talked about one of the most insane things I think you can do in America. Actually, we should tell anyone that's still in America that's listening or watching this, that's not from America because of the World Cup stuff, just go do this. That's why you're here, too. Like if you're having a big thing.

SPEAKER_02 13:05

Sunbelt Reynolds, Home Depot.

SPEAKER_13 13:06

Yeah, you're having a blast in the US, just go rent an excavator and go f some shit up. Because it's like it's it's like anything out of it.

SPEAKER_03 13:14

No, no, just drive around. That's not that much.

SPEAKER_12 13:17

Don't anything up.

SPEAKER_03 13:18

Just go drive it around. There's that amusement park in Ohio. It's like excavator land or whatever. Where it's Yeah, but you've never I think I've sent it before in the Instagram group chat. Yeah. Are you like freaking out? It's a real thing.

SPEAKER_12 13:30

This is a real thing? Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_03 13:31

I don't know. There's a full park. Like it's an amusement park you could go to.

SPEAKER_13 13:38

Go to the par and you've never pitched this as a video? I've sent it in the Instagram group. That doesn't mean anything. You know all the other garbage you send us? Wait, wait, go back to it. The rest of it is just rap and hip hop with memes. Can't I don't want to say that out loud, but like that looks awesome. What a babe choice. Is it for kids or adults?

SPEAKER_03 14:02

I guess it's for kids too. Sam, stop! Can't send us kids children's amusement parks. It's got the pull. Wait, wait, show them that there's a heavy machinery side to it. Explore, explore. Look, they're driving a four by four, a side by side. Yeah, look at that. The lumberjack club. There's the claw hammer cove. Garpo lane. You could operate a crane. Shake and roll. The spindizzy.

SPEAKER_02 14:33

The greased blue. We totally could go here for a video. We would just look so out of place. Could you imagine like just sitting here sitting on John's lap running an excavator? That'd be a good idea. Sam sitting on my lap. Yeah. Tom, can you Photoshop this, please? Just put Sam here in the club. There you go. Yeah.

SPEAKER_13 14:51

Yeah, you you that I thought it was for adults. I mean, there's an adult in the excavator. Yeah, but we could just do that.

SPEAKER_02 14:58

I see why we didn't remember it.

SPEAKER_13 15:01

A couple of our redneck friends. We can do that

Excavator Fails And Rental Daydreams

SPEAKER_02 16:11

Alright, on to the fail here.

SPEAKER_13 16:13

Yeah, so like the weight of it, like you gotta be kind of whipping it. He's also going pretty quick. Pretty heavy piece of sheet. But the further you get that arm out, you know, the further your center of gravity gets moved from the from there. Easily, easy to toss it over.

SPEAKER_02 16:31

The blade there is it's he's over here and he's yeah, that's just a recipe for his ass.

SPEAKER_13 16:37

But like I want to see a tip. Does it go over there?

SPEAKER_02 16:40

He probably caught himself. He got it.

SPEAKER_13 16:42

Oh get yourself back up. So this is one of my favorites. I love seeing a good old machine on machine. Oh no. He's trying to rescue him, but he got taken down.

SPEAKER_02 16:56

Those little John Deere machines always terrify me. We should totally buy one off Timu. We should buy a shipping container of them. We've been trying. Have we?

SPEAKER_13 17:05

Yeah. Still banning us from Timu?

SPEAKER_12 17:08

What's going on here? Oh no, they're fighting. Was that an excavator? There's a small one in the back pushing it up.

SPEAKER_02 17:19

He was trying to pick something up, it looks like. Was he? Or was he trying to balance himself? Yeah, look, he's trying to pick something up. I think they were using the other excavator to hold him down. Like his tracks because they were picking the machine up.

SPEAKER_13 17:32

What are the three dudes doing right there? They're egging it up. He's filming one of the things. Punch in on that joke. The one guy is wearing a George Washington style. I can't even I can't zoom on the video. Unbelievable. They're definitely just doing it for the they're making a video.

SPEAKER_02 17:50

Yeah, that's crazy. We've seen this. They're laughing at it. We've seen this one before.

SPEAKER_11 17:56

Oh, they're just spewing the hydraulic fluid. Oh man. Yeah, now we're talking about.

SPEAKER_02 18:02

People do this, they take uh excavators and they'll put mowers inside of fences. But what? Oh boy, really? Yeah, because you lift heavy things up up and over something. But I don't think he had a big enough excavator.

SPEAKER_03 18:16

A lot of these guys are overusing their excavators here.

SPEAKER_02 18:21

Can we just say this dude has some balls of steel? What? Look at him hang in there and not flinch. Just watch this. He's a seasoned vet.

SPEAKER_13 18:34

Watch. Watch him. He's like, yep, doesn't even bother me. Just one arm's up and up. Hold on. Grab that other nub. Curl her in. Uh took his bucket away. He's chasing it. Oh boy. Whoa, doors open. Oh, oh. It's gonna be a little bit of a repair on that guy. Literally can't F it up. Hold on a second.

SPEAKER_04 18:57

Oh, wait, they're saving this one. They're rescuing him. Oh, no. That's just too, too, too. What? No, no, no, no, no, no. Whoa. That's terrifying. That is That's absolutely terrifying.

SPEAKER_13 19:07

That is I don't even see the bottom of that ravine. Oh my goodness. That's like I never got how people be such a nightmare. That's gonna be my nightmare. Having reason soon.

SPEAKER_02 19:20

Oh yeah, we saw this one too. The pocket fell in. Mulligan.

SPEAKER_13 19:25

I just think it's so it makes it even more impressive if you see how easy it is to like screw something up when you see people who are like really good at operating. Because like in it's not that intuitive. There's a bunch of stuff going on in there. Alright, roll around. Roller up. There's another thing you can rent. What's that thing called? I think it's just like a roller. Nope, nope. Oh boy, oh boy. Where that's it? Are you gonna get back in, buddy?

SPEAKER_03 19:58

Does he save it? I think he does. Oh no. Uh nice and easy. Nice and easy. Wow. Alright.

SPEAKER_13 20:09

Why would why would he jump to the side it potentially could fall? Yeah. He's probably not thinking clearly. They probably had himself a hell of a 4th of July. You know, just getting back on the back to work on Monday, not feeling too good. I will say this. He hold on. Go back. The dude jumping out, what a feat of athleticism, Joe. Look at how much explosion he has to get out of that seat. He's pre-squatted, and then look at that.

SPEAKER_02 20:42

I just tore my groin watching. You're saying this stuff, but I'd actually disagree with you. What? No, we need to get a thing slides and comes. Look at his foot, dude. He is I'm not saying it was smart, but what? He's getting cleaned by that. Exploding off that left leg.

SPEAKER_03 20:57

Wait, pause it right with the bottom.

SPEAKER_02 20:58

Oh, I guess he only jumped off one foot. Yeah. That is impressive.

SPEAKER_13 21:01

Clear the left leg from the seat. Like, okay, I was wrong.

SPEAKER_02 21:05

I was wrong. That is impressive. And he lands on his feet ready to run.

SPEAKER_03 21:09

Pow! What are you saying, Pula? We need to get a silhouette of him up in the air, like the Jordan symbol, like the jump man. That? Yeah, him right there. Look at that.

SPEAKER_13 21:17

He's he's definitely jumped out of a few moving vehicles before. I wonder if his right knee's okay. Look at it. He's probably young. If he's in his 20s, he's fine. Yeah, that's that's wild. Just in the machine we can go rent. Alright, now we're talking. Alright. Silos.

SPEAKER_02 21:37

You want to do a guess what happens? Something bad.

SPEAKER_13 21:40

That is a giant excavator. The one on the right, the camera. That long neck right there. I mean, my guess is that that's gonna collapse. I think the long neck's gonna push silo over.

SPEAKER_02 21:51

I bet he pushes it onto this. Oh god, I hope not. Plausible.

SPEAKER_13 21:57

Great song. Copyrighted music. It wasn't Allison Chains the Rooster, by the way, if anyone was wondering. Oh boy. Oh boy. Oh, get out of the way.

SPEAKER_04 22:06

I know it's coming back. The silos fighting back. Oh, and this camera manager. The silos fighting back.

SPEAKER_12 22:11

It's a whole bit.

SPEAKER_04 22:17

Wow.

SPEAKER_13 22:19

That silos in the fuck right here, buddy. Trying to take my life. I'm not going down without a fight. Hold on, rewind that. Dude. Look at that. That army. Nudge, nudge, nudge. He did something in it. It must have had something something that like shifted.

SPEAKER_02 22:38

Uh no. They just went through it. What are they made of? Um. Wow. I'm impressed that the arm stayed up the whole time. Yeah. I just I wonder if he's okay. That's the real question. I just love the fight left in that silo. It's like, oh my god, I'm not done yet. I'm not fucking away.

SPEAKER_03 22:58

You can take the silo off the farm, but you can't take the farm out of the silo.

SPEAKER_04 23:02

Filled with corn or hay or shit. Silos with shit. Why the f ⁇ do they fill it with shit? I don't know. Manure.

SPEAKER_03 23:10

Well, maybe.

Forklift Fails And Warehouse Stories

SPEAKER_03 23:13

Okay, so the fo the world of forklift fails. Another planet. Joe, please tell me we have that video of the guy. I think he's like a Walmart or something. He's on the lift. I think you've showed it to me before. Shoots out, drops, and shoots off. Please look it up for John at some point. Wait, which one does it?

SPEAKER_05 23:29

Oh, oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 23:31

No. It's so good. It's so good. Chat, am I cooked? Probably. Oh, why is he leaning it like that? Is this AI? That can't be real. It's like this looks like AI. It's AI. It has to be. Oh. No way. Hold on. That has to be AI. Give me a rewind. That's AI, John. We don't need A.

SPEAKER_13 23:54

I want to prove it. Obviously, I know the most. I know more than AI. Alright, you gotta look for the signals, any any text out. Unbelievable. Does the post go down? That is incredible.

SPEAKER_02 24:12

Look at it. Look at it up here. Definitely AI. Blurry. It feels like AI. That's so upsetting.

SPEAKER_13 24:19

The goddess, Sam. No, this can't be real. Montage. No, this one's real. I've seen that. I've seen this bad boy. What? I think this is like they were like pissed off. Why were they stacked that high?

SPEAKER_12 24:43

What the fuck?

SPEAKER_02 24:50

Now that's an athlete. Whoa. You see how quick he got out of there, man? We're firing. What? Oh no. How do you do that?

SPEAKER_13 25:10

I I gotta tell the people. I am sorry to do this to you. What's that? So we have a forklift here. We've had a forklift since every everyone in this room has started working here. And um, I would trust Sam driving like uh the most expensive car I ever buy in my entire life. Work on it, take it for a month, come back perfectly fine. But this man and forklifts, he just cannot figure it out. Call me the cowboy forklift. He struggles so hard to drive a forklift. It is hilarious. And I'm talking like back up, forward, back up, forward, back up, forward, turn, turn, turn, forward, turn, forward. No major forklift fails here. You haven't, but the lack of confidence in how you drive a forklift versus how you drive an actual motor vehicle. Okay, so if you guys, did you guys see the unscrewed video where this asshole bought a go-kart and how he was he took the governor off and drove that thing like he'd lived in it for his entire life? The confidence exuded in that video, and then how not confident you are in a forklift is hilarious to me. Hilarious, isn't it, Joe?

SPEAKER_02 26:21

I you know, I give a pass to heavy machinery. It's not heavy machinery, it's a forklift. That's considered heavy machinery.

SPEAKER_03 26:27

To who? To people runs over your toe, you're gonna be saying some heavy machinery in your golf.

SPEAKER_02 26:34

Those things are awkward. Like they're like, especially when you start adding loads to the front, it's like it takes a whole he's gotten better at it, but I remember when you first drive the Ninja Turtle.

SPEAKER_03 26:45

The Ninja Turtle was a weird one to learn on.

SPEAKER_02 26:47

Yeah, it was because it's electric. Yeah, that thing also didn't work that well.

SPEAKER_12 26:52

So he had a cut, hey, don't you don't know?

SPEAKER_02 26:56

Do you remember?

SPEAKER_13 26:56

You would tell you. That's gonna come haunt you, okay?

SPEAKER_03 26:59

Do not think that issues be like, John, the forklift's not turning on. Did you fill it with distilled water? Is that a normal thing? Of course it is.

SPEAKER_13 27:07

Go get some distilled water. I was trained properly to take care of that old girl already.

SPEAKER_02 27:13

I remember we had that Home Depot truckload deliver, and it was at like 7:30 in the morning with here. And we drove Ninja Turtle onto the back of the truck, and we couldn't get that thing off. Remember it, like sung, it was so heavy, and then it wasn't the power was going.

SPEAKER_03 27:30

I will say I had probably my best forklift moment, neither of you were here to witness it. And I feel I was like, it was like one of those moments where they saw this, they'd be like, Sam's actually not bad at the forklift. I was here at like 7 a.m. and we got a we were getting a massive dumpster swapped out. So that one was full out there. It was like a 20-yard dumpster filled, and the guy's like, I brought the wrong truck to move this. He's like, if you can move it out of the way, he's like, I could get the other dumpster, and he's like, You have anything to move it. I was like, got this forklift, it might do it. It was it was snow, there's snow ice. I was out there, I put like sawdust down on the ground. I picked up the dumpster, and I'm just spinning the tires on the forklift, just getting it out of there. Oh, it was beautiful. The guy was like, I can't believe you did that. I was like, Me either.

SPEAKER_02 28:18

You told me the variation of the story. You're you started teetering, your wheels were kicking up. Yeah, the yeah, the new forklift after that.

SPEAKER_13 28:27

That was the crown. That was the crown.

SPEAKER_02 28:29

I should cut that one out in case Crown watches this podcast. No, Crown.

SPEAKER_13 28:33

Hey, piece of shit that I bought off you guys. You're still a piece of shit. All right, thanks. Um But I love, I just love how confidently you'll drive any other motor vehicle except that forklift. Forklift's different, man. He's just in there. He's like an old geezer that can't see.

SPEAKER_02 28:48

I think you know what's funny? We have two ends of the spectrum here. Sam likes to take his time. He goes slow. You drive that bitch like he's a truck.

SPEAKER_05 29:02

Like you're driving that thing like he's full of.

SPEAKER_03 29:04

Make sure she knows who's boss. The best part of last video when you're driving the forklift, it's only for a split second. You have to pause it. Like Ryan gets all the shit out of the way, and you're just like whipping the thing. You're like you go and you run over like four tools, and Ryan looks to the camera and he goes, It's just for like a second where he's like, What the f is going on?

SPEAKER_04 29:23

Like, yep, yep, yep. Oh man. Don't don't don't hate the player, you know.

SPEAKER_13 29:27

Hate the game. Forklifts are tricky though. I remember when we first got ours, Jason helped us uh like move. And he's uh he's certified, and so is Jordan at the time. Oh really? Yeah, Jordan had to get forklift certification for some job he had. Anyway, uh Jason like showed me how to kind of run it, more or less just like I watched him once and then I got on it and I was fine. But he he was able, he was like incredibly precise with it, as he is with like he do the same thing with the skits here. Um I have no fun, I just sit in the office and then record content and then get called out to make more and go. So when I get on the fourth list, that's my like joy riding right there. That was a little excessive last video.

SPEAKER_03 30:12

What the f what is that thing made of? How do you just pierce right through it? Maybe hopefully not steel.

SPEAKER_13 30:23

What is the what it just driving straight into the get it, Tim!

SPEAKER_02 30:33

What is it? What is it?

SPEAKER_09 30:37

You get it, Tim!

SPEAKER_03 30:40

You get it, did you get it?

SPEAKER_05 30:41

I thought he'd say get it, Tim!

SPEAKER_12 30:44

It's so expensive, too. Oh sad. That is sad.

SPEAKER_03 30:50

Whoa.

SPEAKER_02 30:51

That was we don't even know what his fork broke.

SPEAKER_03 30:55

That could be like, if we ever did like the unscrewed Olympics, it could be kind of like the javelin toss.

SPEAKER_13 31:02

Well, like we could plan it. It's not that good. But that was a second part. It snaps the lock on the bottom.

SPEAKER_02 31:11

And it just went that's terrifying. That would go through you.

SPEAKER_13 31:19

There we go. Now we're talking. This is my guy. My guy right here. Not this guy. Oh no. Everything on top's already no, they're watermelons. Why is it?

SPEAKER_02 31:31

What? No. I saw this video of gladly.

SPEAKER_12 31:40

What is this dude thinking? Like, you have to stay. You can't just go down over top of the gate. Yeah, that's like, what are you what are you doing here?

SPEAKER_02 31:52

This video was going viral on TikTok, and the comments were cracking me up. People are like, uh, when you go to Home Depot and they deliver something, all the comments are just like, I could just see the person saying, You're good. Go ahead. I mean, what do you do in this situation?

SPEAKER_13 32:11

Like, oh, you dude, you return the trailer, you turn all the mulch. So this is Sam. This is not. No, no, I mean, I was saying your anxiety levels, he moves everything like that. Hold on, go back. Did that guy have his forks like the forks are like a foot apart.

SPEAKER_02 32:29

Yeah. I wonder if this is on purpose. No way.

SPEAKER_13 32:33

There's I wouldn't have the balls to do that.

SPEAKER_02 32:37

It looks like a Home Depot.

SPEAKER_03 32:39

It looks like they bought the racking.

SPEAKER_02 32:40

It doesn't look like a Home Depot employee, though.

SPEAKER_03 32:43

Have any of you guys been to a Home Depot recently when they have to get the forklift? Dude, it's a whole production. They shut down the store. It's it's so bad. It's yeah.

SPEAKER_02 32:51

I just bought a toolbox from Home Depot, and they tried to give me the one up front, and I looked at the dude and I was like, I need it on a pallet. This one's scratched, and he's like, We got one more, we have to go get it. We walk back, he's like, that's it, way up there. I'm like, okay, I'll take it. Dude, he's like, I'm gonna need you to go back across to the other aisle. He gets flags out, he starts waving flags, they start backing down, they close down the aisles.

SPEAKER_13 33:12

I'm gonna need you to go to Butler County.

SPEAKER_02 33:14

Dude, this poor lady got trapped coming out of the bathroom, and he's like, whoa, whoa, whoa! Stop, stop! Oh my gosh, man. Like, you're in an in-cage forklift in Home Depot.

SPEAKER_03 33:27

There's always only there's it's always like there's one guy that's certified. He's like, you need something from up top. We gotta get Tim. We gotta get Tim. He's the only guy. It reminds me of Page and Tim.

SPEAKER_13 33:35

Hey, Tim's still here, he goes home early. We gave the workshop away to Luke. You remember that? So like we are at it's nine o'clock at night, Home Depot closed at nine o'clock at night, right? And we're like, I need this toolbox tonight. No, we got there at eight. We got there in with an hour. And there is one guy in the entire store that's allowed to drive the forklift, right? Meanwhile, I'm like, guys, it's on wheels. We can roll it out. No, absolutely not. You cannot roll it. We'll get him. We'll get we'll get Steve, the certified driver of this forklift. And their forklift is like the standing fork, so it's not that it doesn't do as much weight, whatever. They get it outside. Remember, Joe and I are just watching this dude, and I'm like, can we just drive the forklift, please? Like, let us can the two random guys that just bought this thing do the ones that destroy it before you destroyed it. Remember how cold it was, too?

SPEAKER_02 34:27

And it was seven degrees. And they tried, they kind of tried to get one over on us. The one gentleman that wasn't the forklift certified was like, he went home. And that forklift out there is actually dead. It doesn't work anymore. And some other guy comes over.

SPEAKER_13 34:40

You're not getting that by this guy. Joe would go back.

SPEAKER_02 34:42

The other guy comes over and I'm like I look at him, I'm like, they said that forklift doesn't work. And the guy, because he wasn't in the conversation, he was like, uh no, it works. Like we can I slowly pan over to this other guy, and he's like, I didn't know, I swear I did, I didn't know it was working. Like right over with the bus. Yeah. Joe was not having that. I couldn't imagine one of these. That would be so sad. This looked like a Home Depot pool.

SPEAKER_13 35:07

Yeah, this is real. So I will say that this is that that is actually why they like close off the store. Yeah. My guy's just Oh, come on.

SPEAKER_12 35:16

There we go. There we go. This is my dude. You want a job, buddy? Let's go. Let's go. Getting after it.

SPEAKER_13 35:25

We like that 270. I think that's what Turney did. Now we're talking.

The Dangerous Table Saw Circle Trend

SPEAKER_03 35:30

Oh, God, no. This is such a stupid thing. I'm so mad this became a trend. This is just so stupid. There's no reason for it.

SPEAKER_13 35:41

Uh it hurts every time.

SPEAKER_03 35:45

I've seen that clip 200 times. Everyone send me that. There's like a million different ways to make a wooden circle that will not put your life at risk.

SPEAKER_13 35:52

First off, I've done this technique a hundred times. It is a phenomenal technique. No, it's it's stupid. No, it's what do you mean? Your mic, your mic, here. What do you mean it's stupid? This is a great technique. No, it literally Here's the problem. One, the blade's up too high. You only need the blade to be barely above the surface, okay? Yeah. Two, you don't. You gotta actually hold the material down. My friend here. They're not actually my friend. The person in this video does not understand that that you need some sort of security on top of said circle. Yeah. And uh it's probably from watching a jackass like me on the internet make it, and then thinking you can just go and send it, which this is something I realized after like doing content for years. I was like, oh, people will copy you and they will lose limbs.

SPEAKER_03 36:44

It's just the most risky thing because as you're turning it, all it takes, because you have to do it like 150 times, and all it takes is just one.

SPEAKER_13 36:51

No, so that's the kicker. Like when it's at this height, yeah. You you can have the kerf just kiss the corner, Sam, and then you can just curve cut it and it'll curve and like I just get a bunker, Joe. Make a note. Just get a router. I'll teach Sam how to do this technique in the builder bunker. If you want to see it, if you want to see it, make sure you join the builder bunker. Poor technique, it's dangerous. Nope, I'm gonna convince you otherwise. I'd rather get a router any day of the week. I uh I could build a hundred circles. See, that's the see the problem is you cannot stop and go backwards through the blade with it. What's that? That is one thing you push the whole way through the blade. That's what I'm saying. All it takes is just one little misstep where it's coming back to you. Thankfully they had a soft stop, though. Hashtag not sponsored, but like that is why that tool exists. And I'll there's another safety thing in this as well. I think this is a female. You could see her hair is uh hanging down over her shoulder. That also terrifies me. No offense. Free ripping. This so no why I get so much shit because I'm anti-free rip. Because there's so many people out there that like they just think that like techniques like this is fine. That's just we get comments all the time. When I trash stuff like this, people lose their minds. So you're just not good enough and confident with your tools.

SPEAKER_03 38:07

I'm like, no shit! It's just like the circle technique. All it takes is just one little jolt over the case.

SPEAKER_12 38:12

There's no the fence is right there.

SPEAKER_03 38:14

There's no need for this.

SPEAKER_13 38:15

And you're getting if it's not straight, just literally screw it to another board and get rid of the waist piece. Why do you think you're getting less accurate? Watch his thumb. This is this is clickbait. Why are you recording? Yeah, this guy's actually setting it up for this.

unknown 38:28

Damn, bro.

SPEAKER_13 38:32

Damn, bro. Damn, bro. You wanna choke on this pipe here? Okay.

SPEAKER_12 38:38

What are you guys fucking doing? Oh no. Turn it off. Turn it off. Turn it off. Why is he got the back? I almost just screwed up. I literally got tingling. Not the good kind. Is he okay? Is this a man's dick? Oh.

SPEAKER_03 39:05

Oh my god. Are you alright, sir? I I don't know if he's okay. It looks like it's on. It hit him! It hit him, man. The man with the iron dick. Look!

SPEAKER_05 39:20

He has a hole in his pants.

SPEAKER_13 39:21

I got a hog of steel, Joe. Let it run. He's got a hog of steel. Oh my god. Or maybe he's got enough extra that he just didn't care. It's like dangling down there's knee. Cut it half off. Still dangling down there.

SPEAKER_02 39:34

Tell me you see it. Sylph.

SPEAKER_03 39:40

That's blue Ryobi. The blue Ryobi Ryan.

SPEAKER_13 39:42

That's all that's just straight up those like um those those stands that are just super light. Blue Ryobi circumcised. They're not made. You know what's actually a better technique is you leave that on the palette, flip the saw upside down, and run the saw over it. You seen that? I have seen that where they've got my first ever TikTok test video.

SPEAKER_02 40:01

We're gonna watch a few of these on YouTube real quick and then we'll hop into some voicemails.

Rapid-Fire YouTube Jobsite Madness

SPEAKER_13 40:08

What do we got here?

SPEAKER_02 40:09

I don't know.

SPEAKER_13 40:10

Whoa! Why? Get off of the concrete. Golly, how do you get that inside? Why would you take that inside?

SPEAKER_04 40:20

This is you can feel the feel the tension in the room. My palms are like sweaty just looking at it. Okay, we got a molding.

SPEAKER_13 40:32

You have to have it behind a stud though. Now we're talking, buddy. No glass.

SPEAKER_12 40:41

This is my dreams, made it off.

SPEAKER_03 40:45

Look at that kid watching, he's so excited. He's like, this is good. Watch it work.

SPEAKER_12 40:50

Go, go, eat, eat, eat, get it, get it, get it, get it, go, come on, come on. You got it. Yes, yes. Finish it. Come on! Look at look at the control. Let's go! My man. They don't even smile!

SPEAKER_13 41:12

You were the one this is not his first radio. Oh, dude, why am why is a random guy across the world more hyped for that cut than you are? What is going on there? Oh my goodness. They gotta be messing with him. They're just in my favorite videos when they're just like messing with young young people on job sites and just throwing the wrong tool. Nice. Excellent. Mini split installed. They must have always put that in. Locked away forever. Great news though. That gate sweetens both ways.

SPEAKER_02 41:42

No, didn't you see the bracket there? They can just take the bracket off. Right. Three screws on the bracket. The shower of the lambs. What is that? Oh what? Oh my gosh. That's like a tub shower.

SPEAKER_03 41:55

He's telling me he wants to install one of those. That actually looks kind of interesting. Whoa, what's going on? Standing on the rebar. Oh. And cutting the rebar. What's under there?

SPEAKER_02 42:04

Is that water? This has to be fake. Or death. There's no way that's not fake. Uh no. 100% breaking.

SPEAKER_13 42:18

Look at that gap. Swinging a miss on the gap there.

SPEAKER_02 42:21

Was he put pressure on it and then it breaks?

SPEAKER_13 42:23

No, they're just the human gap.

SPEAKER_04 42:29

There you go. Good move. Good move.

SPEAKER_13 42:37

Okay. It's gonna fall. Wow. Wow. That building was structurally sound. I don't know what I'm looking at. I just got instantly drunk.

SPEAKER_02 42:55

I feel like I think the they probably it's not it's not it. This should probably be on top of this, if I'm not mistaken. It is. Kinda, it's half on top of it.

SPEAKER_13 43:07

Oh, it missed. I see now.

SPEAKER_02 43:10

Yeah, I think the the post isn't the other thing. I think they missed. It's the whole beam. Oh, they did the whole thing.

SPEAKER_13 43:16

That's I love the concrete memes.

SPEAKER_03 43:26

I think they're so funny. I had a moment like that when I was real little. My dad got all the concrete done in his shop. I was probably like eight, and I did walk right through it as a setting so bad. Oh boy.

SPEAKER_12 43:39

Oh my god, I'm in the ass.

SPEAKER_13 43:41

It's inside the ladder. That's breaking. What is my man? Uh they're wearing sandals or all like concerned. It's like, guys, close your toes. Cleveland.

SPEAKER_02 43:56

Let's get into some voicemail.

Voicemails Plus A Fluffernutter Debate

SPEAKER_02 43:58

Some of these are a little rage-based. Do we before we get into the voicemails? Uh would you like to quell your hunger, Joe? Let's quail the day?

SPEAKER_03 44:08

Absolutely. So I actually know Joe's been getting into these recently. This is my preferred midnight snack. Why are you awake at midnight? Well, it's actually more like a 10 o'clock snack. Why are you awake at 10 o'clock? Eating one of these, that's what I'm doing at 10 o'clock. This is Are you bulking for like a wrestling match? I can't put on the weight, man. It just the body's just like a nuclear reactor with calories. But this is a fluffer nutter sandwich. Now I will say there's a few things special about this fluffer nutter. And I've already shared these with some people in the office. They said, Sam, that is phenomenal. Um so the key is you use nature's own thick sliced, fluffy white bread. You could see that's at least three-quarters of an inch thick per slice. Uh, you want to overload it with Jif Naturals peanut butter. It's important you use the naturals and not just the regular GIF peanut butter. And I prefer the fluff brand, marshmallow fluff. Unfortunately, they only had jet puff at the uh grocery store, but it'll still get the job right. Why are you looking at it like that? There you go, Jeff. It's gonna be a good one. So here's my question for you. Yeah. Why? Why what? Why? I I had one of these last night, and I was like, this would actually be so good to eat on the podcast tomorrow.

SPEAKER_13 45:22

Gotcha. So you thought of our podcast snack at midnight last night while you were playing with your nuts in your kitchen. Inspiration comes to those lathering bread with nut butter.

SPEAKER_04 45:32

Inspiration comes at the the uh oddest of times.

SPEAKER_02 45:38

What do you think, Joe? Too much uh fluff. I like a little bit. I like I'm a big peanut butter person. If you like the fluff, I'm sure it's great. I like more peanut butter. I'm more of a fluff guy.

SPEAKER_13 45:51

Should we get a guest tasting in here? Yeah. Nick. I was gonna say Jeff. Uh-oh. A resident dumpster. Is Jeff here? Is he here? Can you see him out there? I think they got a U-Haul. They're moving. Well, I'm so I'm not gonna eat this. I am uh I need to start dialing in. Guys, it's getting out of control. Me too. I'm with you. I'm I'm just we're going healthy the rest of the year. Do you think the fluffy nutter is that bad for you? Um, yes. In what way? So calorie dense. There is potentially not anything more calorically dense than processed nut butters. How is it? One tablespoon of that is a hundred calories.

SPEAKER_03 46:41

What about the marshmallow? Does it matter? Then on top of it, you're just adding sugary garbage. You think what about the gif naturals? You've the gif naturals is they don't use the seed oil and the gif naturals. Which is a good thing.

SPEAKER_13 46:52

Nut butters are just very calorically dense. Um lot of fats. A lot of fat. That's why. It's like they they sell you on there like healthy fats, and they are, but you gotta eat them in moderation, a lot of calories. You know, Elvis Presley used to enjoy one of these. Yep. He also had banana on it, and it was also in a half a loaf of bread. Yeah. That was Italian bread.

SPEAKER_02 47:13

All right, for the sake of privacy, we're not gonna display on screen because it shows everybody's personal emails they leave. Um, show them. I want you to start emailing our boy here. I haven't vetted these, so if it is some crazy shit, we'll have to uh, you know, just all right. So our first ever podcast. We're starting from most recent. We're not going back to the very first.

SPEAKER_13 47:40

Podcast voicemail. You guys were sending some nefarious things early on, so uh finally got some hopefully non-nefarious things. So here we go. Hit me with a voicemail. This is from Deccan Wenrench.

SPEAKER_02 47:51

Deccan Wenrich.

SPEAKER_07 47:53

Hey fellas, I'd like to know what is the best life slash safety advice you ever received.

unknown 48:01

My two favorite are don't stick your finger somewhere where you wouldn't put your wiener.

SPEAKER_07 48:07

And the other one is always remember to wear your safety glasses because you can't hear titties.

SPEAKER_04 48:14

Yes.

SPEAKER_07 48:14

Okay. By the way, your shop shades prescription lenses are amazing.

SPEAKER_13 48:21

Decking, did we just become best friends? Okay, so first off, elite question. Tone of voice, did not think it was going in that direction coming out of the gate. I love it. Uh, another phenomenal one is uh my dad always said, Don't eat the yellow snow. So that was some great safety life advice that we used to get. Um Don't Piss in the Wind was another one. I don't know why it hits a lot of pea, a lot of I guess a lot of pea suggestions. Um, but don't piss in the wind was another one. Uh you got any?

SPEAKER_03 48:53

I wouldn't brown flush it down. Mine's not even clever, just one I would hear all the time as a kid. Quit fing with that. You're gonna break it. I would love to just like mess with like toggles and switches and things. And yeah. Don't put your Don't put it your finger where you wouldn't put your wiener. I don't know if I like that advice because it implies you probably put your wiener in a lot of places. They each their own, right?

SPEAKER_13 49:20

Yeah. I uh I I like it on there. There's a piece of life advice that also goes along the lines of um invest in what you put underneath you. Your mattress, your shoes, your wife, and your women. That would always make me giggle. Um very much along the same lines. Joe's appalled by this segment. I think I think we might have to ask him to step out of the room with Sam and I just take this one from here. But Deccan, phenomenal voicemail. Thank you for taking the time. What do we got next, Joe? Pedro.

SPEAKER_02 49:48

My safety advice. I don't even have any. But you were already scrolling, dude. Uh did you have something to say? I uh we can talk and scroll. Well, it's not on the screen. Oh, sorry. No, I don't. I thought that was a clue. Like, shut up, you idiot. I'm busy with you. I don't know. This one's about the World Cup.

World Cup Talk And Sports Hot Takes

SPEAKER_02 50:03

This is from Pedro.

SPEAKER_08 50:05

What's going on, gentlemen? I love listening to the podcast. I love watching you guys' videos and looking at what you guys do with tools and stuff. I'm uh getting into the trades right now, working in uh an electrician shop. Nice. And I love listening to the podcast when I'm not making deliveries on site. You guys are killing it. I wanted to hear some uh World Cup talk. You know, America's been doing pretty good. They just killed it at the group stages. We need Jeff. You guys are big football fans. I'm not, I don't understand much about football, but I wanted to hear you guys' opinions on the World Cup.

SPEAKER_04 50:37

I haven't followed an ounce of the World Cup. Yeah, we don't even expect you to know what a World Cup is. Jeff, I don't think any of us need the world. Jeff. I went to a game. Well, okay, but tell me about the you big soccer fan.

SPEAKER_03 50:48

No, but I went to a game.

SPEAKER_02 50:50

Yeah, I went to a spots here. Uh Joe Leader. Listen. The World Cup is the only time I watch soccer. Agreed. I see you have been watching it. 100%. It is the most electric shit. Just because you have countries going against each other. It is like you could have world wars going on, which there kind of are happening right now. A lot of conflict. And they're still competing to play. It's like the pinnacle of sports, I think. It is one of those that the Olympics, I think you get to like some of you. I'm telling you, it's a big Olympic guy.

SPEAKER_03 51:24

I feel like you're describing the Olympics, not the World Cup. But the World Cup is basically Olympics of its first. But the Olympics, it's so many sports. The World Cup is one.

SPEAKER_02 51:33

But like relevant sports, not like making shit up like skiing down a slope and shooting guns. How dare you?

SPEAKER_13 51:38

As someone who's anti-soccer, I think the World Cup is elite.

SPEAKER_02 51:42

This is so surprising from the Soccer is probably the most popular sport in the whole entire world. Yeah. Joe. You're talking about the most popular sport in the world, every country competing against each other.

SPEAKER_03 51:53

We just celebrated the 4th of July. Both of you enjoy playing real football, and you're over here saying soccer's the greatest sport that ever is. The greatest did not come out of his mouth. Don't shame my man like that. I didn't say Will. You said the pinnacle of sports. The pinnacle of sports. The tournament is any other sport. I just I just can't get in, dude. Once again, you don't have to get into it, but like things he does get into.

SPEAKER_13 52:22

That have beef playing a match against each other. You can watch a bunch of dudes wrestle from different countries for fun. Absolutely. Why wouldn't you watch them run around on a field and kick a ball?

SPEAKER_02 52:33

Different sports. Dude, you just go overseas, man, like in Europe, they just they live this shit. So whenever they come to home turf, we're not that good. And we're actually the US has been doing pretty good.

SPEAKER_03 52:45

As we record this, they're playing tonight, dude. I got served a clip uh that said Japan has a 100-year program to hopefully one day win the World Cup by like 2050 or something.

SPEAKER_02 52:58

Dude, people are dedicated to it, Sam. It's a big deal. It's a cause. It's a big deal. However, we do it.

SPEAKER_13 53:04

So the US made it past the group stage and then they won their first round of the elimination. So now they're in the play tonight. In a round of 16. Who usually wins this thing? He's like so not the U.S. The U.S. has never won a World Cup.

SPEAKER_02 53:19

Ever. No.

SPEAKER_13 53:20

Obviously, our best athletes don't play soccer. I think Argentina won. But Argentina won the last one. And so actually this weekend was pretty wild. I was at a I was at a 3rd of July party, you know, party before the party. And uh they had soccer on. And so I had to watch my children, and I was just sitting there, you know, enjoying what was on the television. And um, and then the Argentina game came on. So the R Argentina played Cape Verde. And if you you if you were online, you probably saw about this this weekend. Basically, Cape Verde is 700,000 people in a country. Okay. And like their team is made up of like truck drivers and school teachers. Argentina, I'm dead serious. Argentina is the reigning World Cup champions with the greatest player in the world on their team. Pele. Messi. Um they are mountains of favorites in this game, right? This game shouldn't exist. It's the largest discrepancy in World Cup history between ranked and non-ranked teams in history. And this is tournaments like forever old, right? Cape Verde gives them a game. Okay. And it gets it gets pretty intense. It's I you know what? I'll just kind of I don't want to spoil it for anyone. A week and a half. No, they have they go, you know, goal, goal overtime, or excuse me, extra time, whatever the hell they call it. Another goal, another goal, goal off a header. Like it was wild. And it was actually like super entertaining and fun. And then they lost, but they lost, yeah. So the goalie for the goalie for Cape Verde, though, went from like zero to 17 million followers on Instagram during by the end of the game. He has he's uh he's like second to like followed up by uh like like one of the Williams sisters, like tennis players, right? Like on like the global stage, and the dude is a bus driver, like for a full-time job. So he he had like 12 saves in the tournament. He stopped Messi like three times in the in the game. It was super entertaining. And I'm not like crazy into soccer, but I have been enjoying it. I got to go to a game when I was in Atlanta. Um, and it's just such a different crowd, like the European crowd. Why they go, they're just showing up as fans of the sport. Yeah, while you get like American football, most people are going to get up and like have a good time, right? Like, you don't know shit about football that's not surface level. These guys know so much about soccer, guys and girls. They just live it. And it's like we could, it's just a completely different.

SPEAKER_03 55:47

Kristen's brother, he's super into soccer. He watches like Liverpool like every weekend, and I tried watching a game, and I'm sorry. I just no, it's boring as hell.

SPEAKER_13 55:56

I mean, there's nothing happening for like a large swath of the game.

SPEAKER_02 55:59

It's fun to play, like, it's fun to play. You better pump the brakes now. It is. Watch it. You're gonna enjoy running. I played as a child. Oh kid soccer was fun. I don't know. As I got older, I got out of it, but it just becomes a lot of fun.

SPEAKER_13 56:13

You know the thing that ruins soccer for me, World Cup and just global soccer and men's soccer? The flopping and and and the exaggerated like injury stuff.

SPEAKER_02 56:22

That's like the NBA, though. It's like you I also hate that sport. Yeah, well. That's our opinions on the World Cup. Yeah.

SPEAKER_13 56:28

WS I if if the World Cup could eliminate the dramatic flopping and basketball, both of them would probably go up in popularity. The flopping. I think you're here's the here's the thing, though.

SPEAKER_02 56:44

Yeah, like it's bad. But saying that they go up in popularity, they're two of the most popular sports. The NBA has the biggest TV of all sports globally. They make the most those players make how much money? Their TV deals are insane. They get globally, they're a huge sport. They don't have a lot of people. Soccer is globally a huge sport. The NBA globally is way bigger than the NFL. Well, that's why the N that's why the NFL is pushing for global. That's why, but they're not though. But so the NBA is already.

SPEAKER_13 57:15

One football game on a random Thursday night will do more viewership than the NBA Finals. Nowadays. Yeah, so like the NBA is on a downtrend because the league's super soft. I did and soccer, you're right, it's globally, it's enormous, but I just think it would be a bigger sport in the United States where there's the map the largest market share to gain if it wasn't so freaking soft. Yeah. Like I don't want to see.

SPEAKER_03 57:42

No, no, no, no, no. Like, dude, if you can pull up.

SPEAKER_13 57:44

So the the game after there was a game on Saturday around the fourth, like Mbappe, he's like a uh one of the top five players in the world, right? He plays for France. And they're French. So like you're expecting softness, right? This dude, you like fart near him, you like run by him, and like graze him with like a hair follicle, flops on the ground like someone kicked him right in the nuts, and it's like acting like he was shot and someone's dying, and it's just like so unnecessary. I guess there's a couple players that are like very much like that that like other people then mimic because I don't know, I hate it. You watch that and then you watch like hockey, and you're like, that dude just took a puff to the teeth. The hockey's just very different. Three people died, you're like, that's the kind of sport I want to watch, right? They're playing out there with like three broken limbs.

SPEAKER_02 58:29

Well, this is also why like they have like you know, the UFC. We can we're gonna watch someone get their ass beat.

SPEAKER_13 58:34

You can watch the I don't like the UFC.

SPEAKER_02 58:36

Which blows my mind. That blows my mind you don't like that.

SPEAKER_03 58:39

Sean Strickland fight was out of this world. I know you saw it, you're probably not super. Oh my god. I was I was floored because he was everyone was saying he was gonna lose. It was like Sean Strickland will not win this fight. It was so good. It was like Rocky Four in real life, but he was Rocky.

SPEAKER_13 58:56

Gotcha. Let's do a few more of these real quick. So I would so my last thing on the FIFA thing, the World Cup, is it's 10 10 years, so they're 12 years or 10 or 12 years till it's back in the United States. Next time it's locked in the U.S., it's not North America. If you get a shot, go to a game. It's like, well, you know, if we're still around, if I'm still alive. You see the shit we do? That's a long time. Yeah. I'll be 50. That's insane to think, isn't it? That is wild. You'll be my age. And I'll be 50.

SPEAKER_03 59:32

Joe will be eternal. You'll be 40. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 59:39

Sorry, Edson.

SPEAKER_12 59:40

I mean you'll be like 38 years old. What do you think you're gonna be?

SPEAKER_02 59:44

What do you mean you're six years older than me? No, you're not. Fuck, never mind. Four. Never mind.

SPEAKER_13 59:48

Yeah, you're not far behind me. Yeah. On to the next. Yeah, check it out. It was fun and it's it's winning a spot in my heart.

SPEAKER_00 59:55

I think toolboxes with uh sliding drawers. On the dolly system, it's pretty good.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:06

The mod box?

SPEAKER_00 1:00:08

Nothing to on the stack and on the match. Everything in his drawing, so just pull it out. Done a lot of research between all of them. Client seems like a good competitor.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:22

This man's a Klein Tools rep.

SPEAKER_13 1:00:24

He's Row over here trying to sell us on Klein Tools.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:28

I don't know, I haven't used those. Have you used them? I only just for a minute from a video. I bought one. They do seem really nice. I will say there's so many great competitors to the pack out. They're just not as popular, so it's like you get a slightly better box, but I feel like the packet checks every box, and that's where everyone else misses.

SPEAKER_13 1:00:45

It's like wall storage, vertical storage, horizontal, rolling, non-ro like. The client ones are only sold at lows, too, I think.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:54

We'll have to check it out. Yeah. This next one's uh from our friend Matt, and it says Ford Ranger Bro. Alright. I just want to.

SPEAKER_09 1:01:03

What's up, John, Joe, and my Ford Ranger Bro. What's that, Sam?

SPEAKER_12 1:01:10

Oh god!

SPEAKER_09 1:01:11

I guess we all gotta drive a car or at some point in our lives, and the reason it shows down. I just want to give y'all a shout out from up on that. And like we all know that my Fragile shop shades are not fragile at all.

unknown 1:01:28

They've held up for over a year or more.

SPEAKER_09 1:01:31

You get that would be surprised. Fragile, yeah. Um the podcast is also no enjoy listening to on the word.

unknown 1:01:41

Makes the day go by quicker. I would like to recommend possibly getting some for cut and torch. Like cut and torch.

SPEAKER_09 1:01:52

The only time I gotta take them off.

SPEAKER_13 1:01:54

Well, Matt, sounds like a gentleman and scholar guy I'd like to hang out with. I think he would make fun of you to your face, and I'd like that.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:01

What's there to make fun of? You got rid of your ranger. I number one, okay. A couple things. Number one, I didn't get rid of my ranger. I had to do it. Is your ranger your primary driver? No. The transmission is going, there's like synchros that are bad in there, the beds fall off. So your response was buy another car instead of buying something. I need to get myself to and from work while I repair this, unless you'd like to pick me up every morning.

SPEAKER_13 1:02:29

It would be funny. You wouldn't invest in the ranger.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:33

I how you understand these repairs? This is a lot of repairs. I can't just like, it's not like I'm gonna drop it off down at Minicky and pick it up in an hour. There's a lot of stuff that needs done. So I need to be able to get to and from work. Also, I love my ranger. Don't get me wrong, I love my ranger. I love my ranger on this channel and everything it's done, but also I I lead a life outside of here and I need something to commute with. So it's like, this shtick is pretty good, but this ranger is like falling apart on me here. She will be healed and she will be back. I plan on driving her in the winter. I broke thousands of hearts. What are you talking about? No, they telling people that you have a life outside of here? I do, and I need the I need to I need to get places, I need to go places, I need to drive.

SPEAKER_13 1:03:17

Well, Matt, you can come make fun of Sam to his face anything.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:21

Matt wouldn't make fun of there's only one of us with an electric truck here.

SPEAKER_13 1:03:25

And I think when you own multiple vehicles, you're allowed to have one electric. But why don't you own a truck? I do. It's an F-250, it's sitting outside. I've got another one in Michigan.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:34

I think I'm the only one here with like an actual regular ass pickup. Yeah. I just wanted to kind of poke the bear. I apologize.

SPEAKER_13 1:03:40

One more voicemail for the people, because uh getting completely out of hand in here.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:45

This dude left three. I don't know if they're all the same or Journeyman DIY, Journeyman DIY, Journeyman DIY.

SPEAKER_13 1:03:50

It looks like they're all the same, except he might have just left them in a row because you cut them off after a minute, right? My guess is that they're there's three minutes of voicemail.

Epoxy Floors Tool Trailers And Gas Wars

SPEAKER_06 1:03:58

Hello, gents. Uh, this is Dave Gallo from uh Rhode Island. My question to you all is um about an epoxy floor for a garage. Don't do it. All right, next. I thank you.

SPEAKER_13 1:04:13

Uh no, honestly. Not to cut you off, Dave, because we do appreciate your time. I actually thought I was gonna love epoxy floors in a garage. And my lot my old house had that one. Remember that? Like Flake had the flake epoxy floor in there. We built a bunch of shit. You get like if Sam sneezed on the floor and him and I were trying to walk through there, you'd be like slipping and falling. It was just like a shit. Um, and because of that, I'm just like I'm kind of anti-poxy floor in a garage. I think I'd prefer like a polished concrete.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:48

I was just gonna say polished concrete. Polish and seal. It's like my preferred look in epoxy.

SPEAKER_13 1:04:55

Look aside, like I I don't like, I don't love that look, but like the slickness of it was just no bueno for me.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:02

Yeah, I've never I've seen epoxy floors, never done anything like that before.

SPEAKER_13 1:05:07

Uh I guess it just a looks thing, is it just a clean up like a clean thing because it's not porous anymore because concrete's porous, you know? Yeah. It's easy to clean, wash out, hose down. Yeah. Yeah, it I don't know. Maybe it was poorly installed or something, but I had it for three years. Oh, yours. I was not a fan.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:29

Let's look real quick. Uh something about a trailer build out here. Last one.

SPEAKER_10 1:05:38

Hey, on the series you're doing right now on design uh tool storage. Something I've looked into because I do a lot of warehouses and always moving tools around. And I have an enclosed trailer. Smart. This guy very familiar. Trailer, every tool, every level, every sheets of plywood, everything has a place. Pull-out spot for your table saw. He's just done a great job of it.

SPEAKER_13 1:06:16

Yeah, so Ron Polk, uh, OG in the space. Um, and uh, if you are a uh if you've been on YouTube at all, you've probably seen the Polk Design Workbench. Our workbench is designed around it, so it have the holes in the cubby cutouts underneath. This guy kind of like invented it. He may have patented it at one point, too. Really? Um, but he's got a pretty badass trailer set up there. It's like super engineered and well thought out. And yeah, his name's Ron Polk. He's been around for a long, long, long, long, long time.

SPEAKER_03 1:06:47

Joe, can we go back to the bottom of that page, the Rudders opinion? I think he's talking about Rudders Gas Station.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:55

Hey guys, this is Terry from Altoona. Here as Loyal Sheets fans, what is your opinion on Rudders Gas Station? I actually work at the Altoona location, buy sheets at the corporate office. And I search for corporate people and their team members almost every night. And for your energy drink here list, you guys ought to hit up a rudder thing. We've got about six to seven corridors dedicated to just energy drinks. And tell Jeffrey he needs to get on my level. I drink six of those rains a day almost. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_03 1:07:24

Oh my god. Wait, was he saying he works at the rudders? I just works at the rudders in Altoona. I know near Sheets Corporate Office. Kristen's family's from Altoona. I know exactly where the Sheets corporate office is. Rudders, you know why they're actually growing up. Have any of you been to a rudder's? Never heard of it. Okay, they're I believe they're from Texas or somewhere uh in the southern portion of the United States. Never saw them, but I think apparently they have like these fake, well not fake, but like almost territories where like they're like, hey, we won't come to this part of the state or we won't come to that part. Like it's why like Wawa's on the uh eastern side and sheets is on the western side. It's like an unspoken agreement they have. Yeah, well, apparently Sheets is encroached on Rudders territory, so then Rudders to get back at Sheets is like, we're gonna go on to your territory now, and there's like rudder all over the place. I don't I prefer Sheets in every metric. However, Rudders does have top-tier gas, which Sheets does not have. What does that even mean? Top-tier gas, it's a certification that not all gas stations have, but there's extra detergents and things in there that are better for your vehicles, like Sinoco, BP, Shell, Rudders, but like Sheets doesn't have it. So you could actually get a top-tier app on your phone, so you're putting the best fuel in your vehicle. Yeah. I didn't even know that was a thing.

SPEAKER_13 1:08:44

Yeah, because you gotta get like cheaper gas. Same guy who won't take the time to fix his Ranger. Alright, so I know where I can get gas that has simple certifications on it, but I will not put that shit in my Ranger, nor will I fix her. She'll be fixed soon enough.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:03

Yeah. Uh uh, Emma. Um yeah, that that that's everything

What To React To Next

SPEAKER_02 1:09:08

I have for today. Uh they gotta let us know what they uh want us to react to next. There's like a it's a blue ocean of stuff we can react to in the future. Can they submit those in the bunker? No, but uh we could they could leave I don't know where they'd submit it. Um we have the thread, right? We just have the we have the PO box fired up. Okay. I don't know. They could send links? They could in the bunker, but that's uh would we rather than put it on the video? Comment below categories to react to. That's all that we have.

SPEAKER_13 1:09:41

Alright, so that's gonna be a wrap on this one. Sam needs to go take a shower, wash off all that shame uh that that just came out in this episode. We have a lot of fun reacting to this stuff. If you guys got things you want us to react to, uh, you can link it down below or just post a category you'd like us to go do some research on. Um, we thoroughly enjoy these and keep the voicemails coming. If you guys want to see early release episodes or the behind the scenes stuff, uh you gotta check out the Builder Bunker. It's the best way to support me and the boys and whatever you want to call this stupidity here. Until next time, peace. Peace,
