Cold Open And Big Promise

SPEAKER_03 0:00

What drugs is this guy on? No. No. No, no. What are you doing? In this episode, we are gonna be reacting and reviewing some of the worst DIY fails that we could find all over the internet, breaking down what went wrong, what could have been better, how Sam or myself, or even Joe may have done it. Uh, this is a super popular kind of format that we are incredibly excited to dive in. We're covering everything from wiring to structural stuff, some quick fixes, and whatever we could find across the board. But before we get into it, Sam, I'm feeling parched, and I heard you've got something to drink today on Sam's snack signal.

SPEAKER_05 0:46

I do. So I know the last time we had those Verners, we were talking about ginger ale. Uh this this is a Reed's ginger beer. This is legit. This is what has the bite to it. You I don't think you'll ever go back to a can of a dryer.

SPEAKER_04 1:04

Why are we? Do you have a can opener?

SPEAKER_05 1:06

Fucking bottle opener. That's what I meant. Sorry. Now typically you'll just use this as like a mixer with like a Moscow mule. But I will say, you have like a stomach ache or something. This is the this is the shit that'll sell.

SPEAKER_03 1:18

Why not fever tree? What's this fever tree? It's a brand it's the brand.

SPEAKER_05 1:22

Oh, I know which one you're talking about. It can't hold a candle to this. It has a minimal bite compared to this reevaluation.

SPEAKER_03 1:28

So this is a this is like spicy. I could smell it. Oh yeah. At least it's not the the the garbage dog vomit that you tend to bring in here.

SPEAKER_05 1:37

No, this stuff is pricey too. Like a four-pack of this is like almost like$15. Oh, damn.

SPEAKER_03 1:42

Some high test genre. Thanks for taking the load off of us, right? Yeah, you're welcome. I'm pretty sure I paid for it. But I appreciate it. You know? So, all right. Well, first uh first reaction. Here we go, Joe.

SPEAKER_04 2:00

It's actually more bland than I thought.

SPEAKER_03 2:01

That's yeah, you mean you were hyping it hard. It's got a lot of spice. If that's what you're saying the bite is, yeah, yeah. The back of the throat. Spice, it's this is good. Yeah, it's a good ginger flavor. This is like definitely a mix or ginger. Makes me want to just pound a Moscow meal right now.

SPEAKER_05 2:18

It claims no artificial flavors or preservatives.

SPEAKER_03 2:22

Sparkling filtered water, cane sugar, pressed organic ginger, lemon and lime juices from concentrate, natural pineapple flavor. What's that doing in there? Natural honey spices and natural mushroom extract. Where is the actual ginger?

SPEAKER_05 2:37

Well, uh, organic uh pressed ginger. See? After the cane juice. Pressed organic ginger. Alright, you're right. Woo!

unknown 2:43

Woo!

SPEAKER_03 2:44

Well, I that's quite enjoyable. I mean, I don't have much else to say about it. What do you think? It's not bad.

SPEAKER_04 2:48

I actually don't think it's bad. I definitely think it should be mixed with the Moscow mule.

SPEAKER_03 2:52

Yeah, I definitely need some vodka and a little bit of bitters.

SPEAKER_04 2:54

I think it would be fantastic. That'd be a nice little spice too.

SPEAKER_03 2:57

Hey, in whatever month it is, April.

SPEAKER_04 2:59

Where's it at, Pull up?

Glass Breaks And Door Fails

SPEAKER_03 3:00

Bring it next week. All right, now next week we're getting drunk. Uh breakfast drunk. So, yeah, this is something we see around the internet a ton. The boys and I actually send things back and forth and are always kind of like gawking at like how stupid the shit we see on the internet these days are. And if you've been a fan of the build channel, you know that we love testing it. So let's kind of just jump right in, Joe. What are you coughing?

SPEAKER_04 3:22

I got a I got a laundry list of um home DIY compilation fails, construction site fails, uh wives helping, husband fails. Okay. Then this dude that's been going mega viral, Paul and I have been seeing everywhere. His name is David Daniel Nichols. Um I think he rage baits in a lot of his content, but like we'll go through a bunch of his stuff. We'll wrap with some woodworking uh reaction stuff. I think you guys can relate to a little bit more and then let's go.

SPEAKER_03 3:51

So it looks like my guy is oh, no, no, that's oh I've seen I've heard stories of this.

SPEAKER_04 4:02

Is that like a common thing?

SPEAKER_05 4:03

People uh they always say be very careful with glass because that sharp edge, that's all it takes.

SPEAKER_04 4:09

You tap it or then it just goes.

SPEAKER_03 4:11

Well, yeah, like if you're gonna break a piece of glass, like some people do it intentionally to get a look. That's all it takes, is like like Sam said, a little tap on the edge there. Oh, that is that sucks. Heartbreaking. Brutal. I'm glad it was no I actually saw that one out there somewhere. It wasn't from cutie panda point zero. Joe, what are you doing on cutie panda.o?

SPEAKER_04 4:36

No, this is back on that site again.

SPEAKER_03 4:38

It's a compilation.

SPEAKER_04 4:39

What did we tell you about that? This is TikTok, guys. Come on. This is TikTok. This one's hilarious. No.

SPEAKER_03 4:47

How is that possible? He finished the whole jam. He put the case in. Look at how much you can see the angle cut on the door. So like the top of the Wow. You think that one's faked? I the it has to be.

SPEAKER_04 4:59

But why wouldn't you he went through all the effort that to make the jam like three times? Yeah, it's probably did it after just for the video. There's no way that probably actually happened. What do you what do you finish what you're saying?

SPEAKER_05 5:09

Like, I just like that would mean he literally built the whole jam, finished it if he's rage baiting just for the video. Because it looks like it's an equal distance off on both sides.

SPEAKER_03 5:19

Yeah, it seems like the door needed trimmed on one side after it was hung, and he took three more inches and it was needed. Cut it correct. It's just that's funny.

SPEAKER_02 5:30

Let me know what you think in the comments.

SPEAKER_03 5:33

Wow. Goodbye, pocket doll. She gone.

SPEAKER_04 5:37

What do you do with pocket like that?

SPEAKER_03 5:39

You get a tiny hand and jam it in there, or you gotta get a magnet or something. Wait, wait, wait, go back to that one. What I don't know. What was that? It's gotta clear the bulkhead, but they didn't show the door opening. Oh my god. See the bulkhead in the photo?

SPEAKER_04 5:53

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 5:53

It's too funny.

SPEAKER_04 5:55

Oh, so it's just permanently. Fuck.

SPEAKER_03 6:01

The sound probably helps. Oh, you gotta be kidding. Just take the door off. Yeah, but they installed the toilet after the door was open, obviously.

SPEAKER_05 6:12

They had that door sitting there the whole time. How do you miss that? Some of these have to be rage, bait. That one's not though. That one's not.

Cabinet Drop And Demo Dangers

SPEAKER_03 6:21

That's what I'm saying. Is like you can rent that at Home Depot and just go mess your shit up with it. Tiny pub. Here we go. Pop! There we knew it was coming. Yeah, we can't get his hands off it. That looks like a college house, too. It seems like the guy didn't want. When you knock down the yeah, that was it, man. Neither yiked. I tell you what, there's nothing like buying a house and then having like a great like vision for a project and being so hyped up to get into it. Yeah. You just like completely forget the surrounding area, everything that's gonna be affected or damaged, and you just start going, and then something like that happens, or you have like you're just like sawing a hole in a wall in one half of your living room, right? And then the other half, you're like babies covered in drywall dust because you're an idiot and didn't realize that dust is gonna travel across your house. Like, it's so easy to do that. So easy. The fact that these are all filmed, too.

SPEAKER_05 7:32

Like some of them have to be rage bait, but the ones that aren't that someone was like filming themselves, like I'm proud of this job. That happened, and they still had the balls to be like, I'm posting.

SPEAKER_03 7:42

I'm gonna show my dad. I'm gonna be, I'm my dad's gonna be so proud of me. I'm knocking this wall out, and then you end up doing that.

SPEAKER_04 7:48

That's a lot of that, man. I feel like people just happen to get stuff on camera, and it's more like might as well post it for views nowadays than to I already I already know it's about to happen with this one.

SPEAKER_05 7:56

I've seen this one's pop. I've seen this one a thousand times.

SPEAKER_04 7:58

This poor lady.

SPEAKER_02 7:59

It's like oh right with took it right with the colour.

SPEAKER_03 8:06

Poor girl could have put done like 75 different things to make this work, right? She could have put a ledger board up on the wall. So, like if you're new to kind of hanging cabinets, yeah, even though you're putting more holes in your wall, like I don't know where this is or what the deal is underneath it, right? She's standing on like a rickety bookshelf. Oh, in all honesty, though, like stop looking all cutesy footsie, put some frickin' shoes on, put some safety glasses on, right? And you can run a just take a two by four and screw it into the wall level and let the cabinet sit and hang there. I've hung cabinets so many times. You got this pretty elephant here. Why can't you hang it hang something to you can hang it on the elephant? It's probably not gonna help much.

SPEAKER_04 8:41

No, I'm saying you can hang the elephant, but you can't put something underneath to hang the cabinet.

SPEAKER_05 8:44

I wonder if it's like a teacher. It looks like they're in a school or something right now. Uh I don't know what it is, but like that looks so big.

SPEAKER_04 8:51

Yeah. And the cabinet broke. That's so unfortunate. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 8:54

That's the hit her right in the face. It's gonna hit her right in the face. Yep. Oh. Yep. I've never seen that. Oh yeah. Oh my goodness. No, no. Oh no.

SPEAKER_04 9:10

I'll play the sound. Do it just blow it out. The sound is the worst part of the life.

SPEAKER_03 9:16

Watch it, baby. Watch it. Yeah, just blew that back tire. See the back tire.

SPEAKER_02 9:20

What do you think we're gonna have?

SPEAKER_03 9:21

What's he doing? There's null post.

SPEAKER_02 9:26

Oh!

SPEAKER_03 9:28

Oh the demo can get you. I just love that he's got he's got knee pads on. Like, my man's ready to rock, no eye protection.

SPEAKER_04 9:39

Look, look at his look at him. That's the pain of a thousand. We talked about this before.

SPEAKER_05 9:43

We were ranking things. I was like, I don't think demo's for everyone, and it's stuff like that. I feel like there's a lot of people that just go gung-ho in it. It's like just slow and a little bit at a time so you don't get your dick stuck at the end.

SPEAKER_03 9:54

Also, like when you're doing demo, give yourself a fighting chance. Go grab a recipe saw and cut things smaller. Exactly. Right? Yeah, take it. Because like that null post is mounted to a lag bolt. If it's done correctly, there's a lag bolt coming through the floor that the null post has is like either threaded onto or has got one of those like cross threads into it, right? And so that thing is gonna just tear your floor up, right? If you're just trying to cut it, so just like cut it down, get a look at what's going on. Trying to shake right there.

SPEAKER_05 10:19

That's how I always know someone shouldn't be doing demo. You'll talk to like people that are like homeowners, like, I'm gonna do my own demo. Get the old sledgehammer out. Like, unless you're taking a cast iron tub out, like what are you using the sledgehammer for? Just little by little reception saw, take it down like normal.

SPEAKER_03 10:33

We're not breaking any makes such a mess, too. Like, yeah, like demos messy, regardless of how you do it. You get into an old house, like say your house is old as hell. Yeah, I a couple houses ago is old as hell, it was like a hundred-year-old house. You the shit coming out of those walls have killed a generation of people. It's exactly why you still see lawsuits for like mesothelioma. It's like that's what my old house was. So you get into that with a sledgehammer, you don't know what the hell's gonna happen. And you got you got lath and plaster, or you got wire mesh in the walls, like that stuff's super sharp, super dangerous. Just take a hammer, poke a hole in the wall, see what's in there, and in all honesty, give yourself a handhole and just start nugging on it. Little bit at a time, yeah. See where it cracks, and then tap around it, pull out big chunks. You don't need to go buck slow, smooth, smooth is fast when it comes to demo, or else you're gonna take a null post up the ass. What's this guy doing now? Why is he gonna oh his shoes are stuck? Oh, he put he put the glue down. You idiot. Here we go. Exactly what we're gonna do. Wow, you couldn't even make this one up to happen. Dude, no.

SPEAKER_05 11:40

Or that could happen. Oh my god. Lefty, too.

unknown 11:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 11:47

Baby, go back.

SPEAKER_03 11:48

I want to see his face again. Whoops. He looks like he's in a pretty nice house, too. Oh man.

SPEAKER_04 11:54

It sounded like something, bro. Why you you know? That's the exact face you made. I've seen this clip. This poor lady.

unknown 12:00

I don't think this.

SPEAKER_03 12:04

I think she saved the paint, though.

SPEAKER_04 12:06

Look how the ladder was.

SPEAKER_05 12:08

The cabinet.

SPEAKER_04 12:09

What are we doing?

SPEAKER_05 12:10

Lady, the stool's taking her. Oh wow, she's resting around the edge of that. That's what I mean. We watch it back. So the water goes in? Yeah. Oh, so plastic, too. She's it's amazing she's in cracking that thing.

SPEAKER_02 12:24

Whatever you do, Stuart. Do not do that.

SPEAKER_03 12:28

Oh my god. He's done for it. Lean forward, buddy.

SPEAKER_04 12:34

What do you do in that situation?

SPEAKER_05 12:36

Amazing balance, that.

SPEAKER_04 12:37

And they're all just laughing at him.

SPEAKER_05 12:40

He's not even phased. He's like, what am I doing wrong? I don't understand.

SPEAKER_03 12:44

Looks like he's standing on railing, actually.

SPEAKER_02 12:47

Dude, ladders, I don't mess him with ladders. When I was young, I think now I'm like, I'll slice your hand off quick.

SPEAKER_03 13:00

Real fast. Wow.

Ladders And Heavy Lift Misfires

SPEAKER_04 13:03

Real fast. Alright. Now we're into some some funny ones.

SPEAKER_03 13:07

My favorite is like, you guys seen those memes? Yeah, the guy reacting. Oh no, a guy that uh he's like he never has believed in his wife more than when they need to carry a heavy thing, right? And he's like, get over here, hon. And he's like, we gotta pick this tractor out of the truck bed. Like that was like a prime example. It's like she wasn't holding a single thing.

SPEAKER_05 13:25

I I've been there several times before you make a large purchase off marketplace. We got an elliptical. Kristen's like, how are we gonna unload this? I was like, I'll get most of the weight, and then you just get it when I it comes like she said, I can't get this thing. I was like, and then it ends up being like, okay, I just maneuver it out myself.

SPEAKER_03 13:39

Dude, I used to ask Sarah for help, and it's not she's strong. Yeah, the problem for us is the height discrepancy. That's true. Because I'm a foot taller than her, so like when we carry things, it's just might as well just like land on top of her. She just stopped helping at this point. Yeah, like I just gotta call somebody else or find someone because I'm like, I can't take weak and a foot shorter than you know because it's a recipe for disaster.

SPEAKER_04 14:01

These ones get funny here.

SPEAKER_03 14:03

I love, I love the big machinery. Show me some big machinery.

SPEAKER_04 14:06

All right, let's play a little game here. What do you guys think is gonna happen in this clip?

Machines Gone Rogue On Sites

SPEAKER_03 14:10

Hey, real quick, this episode of Slightly Above Average is brought to you guys by First Form once again. Lately, it's just become a part of my life. Just first form products in general. And one thing I'm really loving is their megawatt pre-workout. On days where I know that I'm gonna be getting after it, I love just grabbing a scoop of megawatt before my workout and getting into it. It's basically a caffeinated pre-workout with nootropics in it that helps you focus, that helps you stay in the zone on what you're doing without the jitters, without the tingles, without all the weird stuff that used to be in there. First Form is one of the best companies on the planet in regards to research and development of their products. Everything is third-party tested, so you know you're not putting a bunch of crazy stuff you shouldn't be inside of your body. And that's absolutely why I love it. What I also love is that they love you guys. And right now, go to firstform.com forward slash slightly above average, grab yourself some megawatt if you're looking for a pre-workout or literally just something to give you a jolt during the day that's not an energy drink. They're gonna give you a free five pack of their protein sticks while supplies last. And not to mention, they're gonna give you a 30-day money-back guarantee with 110% of your money back. So if you don't like it, you got nothing to lose. So once again, that's firstform.com forward slash slightly above average. Appreciate you guys. Now let's get back to the episode. He's driving straight through the window. He's driving straight through the window, is what I'm thinking.

SPEAKER_05 15:26

I'm thinking somehow he moves that bucket the wrong direction, it takes out the wall or something.

SPEAKER_02 15:33

Yep. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 15:35

Both of you were incorrect. He did both of those things. Why are you going forward, my guy? Say we just uh this is what I'm saying. Like you can rent this equipment and just anyone can operate it. Like, you know what, you're just gonna just oh it's nuts. Oh, that's so that's unheard of.

SPEAKER_02 15:56

Oh, look at the hydraulics gun.

SPEAKER_03 16:00

I've never seen dude. I have to pay for the when it's gonna be a good one. You have to get on.

SPEAKER_06 16:07

What much not?

SPEAKER_01 16:10

I would love to say that a high school kid did this, but no, it was me. Dropped it right on the bumper. God damn it.

SPEAKER_04 16:18

No, I think he tried to pull away.

SPEAKER_03 16:22

Oh he unpinned it and tried pulling out. Didn't pin it. Didn't drop the tailgate.

SPEAKER_04 16:26

Ripped it all the way off, man. Holy shit.

SPEAKER_03 16:29

Jeez. You ever driven gooseneck? No. Me neither. Have you?

SPEAKER_04 16:36

No, God no. I've seen it done.

SPEAKER_03 16:38

I just I don't I don't know how I'd feel about it. Yeah, you gotta have a big boy. Mistake.

SPEAKER_04 16:44

Your license as big big boy operator. It does.

SPEAKER_03 16:46

It does. Big boy.

SPEAKER_04 16:47

Do you think you have a CDL for that? I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 16:49

No, no, no. Health?

SPEAKER_04 16:53

You have to have a health card sometimes for certain levels of trucks.

SPEAKER_03 16:56

What? Health?

SPEAKER_04 16:58

Yeah, like a health, a certain health uh you have to be healthy enough? No, it's like a you have to it's like a certification like card. It's like uh to drive trucks over a certain weight, you have to be healthy. Have a health card, I think it's called. It's not like your medical card for your insurance, it's like an actual, it's like under a CDL.

SPEAKER_05 17:14

That's ensuring that you're healthy?

SPEAKER_04 17:15

Basically, I think saying you're not doing drugs, all these other things.

SPEAKER_05 17:18

Huh. No idea. This is not a good yep. That's such a my We've watched houses get caved in. I don't care about that stuff.

SPEAKER_03 17:28

It could have been worse. It could have been worse. Yeah, I thought my man was getting at okay. That's great start.

SPEAKER_02 17:39

What's happening? Wait, what?

SPEAKER_04 17:40

Did you not see? Oh yeah. How'd you miss that one?

SPEAKER_02 17:43

This diamond excavator.

SPEAKER_05 17:46

Yo. Oh shit, Bill. Sorry, man. Was that an accident or what are you doing?

SPEAKER_03 17:57

He threw the shovel. He's biz. He's dude, construction guys straight up mess with each other like this.

SPEAKER_05 18:04

I worked for a contractor one time. He would tell me some of the pranks, and I was like, I just never experienced a lot of that. Like he was like, we used to shit in paint cans and close the paint can up. It wouldn't get in there for like a week or two would explode if you try to pop the top off. I'm like, what the f are you doing? He's like, oh, we prank our buddies in the 80s. I'm like, that's this just sounds awful.

unknown 18:22

Here's this one.

SPEAKER_02 18:23

Oh.

SPEAKER_05 18:24

Ooh.

SPEAKER_03 18:25

Air pocketed micro. Oh. Wow. No.

SPEAKER_04 18:30

Is that asphalt? Asphalt, it looks like.

SPEAKER_03 18:32

Asphalt. Sewage. Car. Ugh.

SPEAKER_04 18:36

I don't know. That was a different one. Alright, we got more construction.

SPEAKER_03 18:39

Some of these might be doubled up. Oh my goodness. This looks. I don't like this one. I don't like this one at all. That pillar's. That pillar's screaming. You could see it's like both. That pillar's screaming. They're pouring a concrete deck on top of that.

SPEAKER_04 18:52

What do we think happens here? We'll play that cave.

SPEAKER_03 18:55

I think it's gonna fall over. Just go off screen to the right. My man's sliding straight off screen.

SPEAKER_04 19:00

Hopefully he he probably does somehow slide off it perfectly unscathed.

SPEAKER_03 19:05

There we go. That's a vet move.

SPEAKER_05 19:09

Yeah, good for him. That's a vet move. Good for those instincts.

SPEAKER_04 19:13

He would have been crushed. Look at that thing fold on itself, too.

SPEAKER_03 19:16

He'd have been dead. There's like no nothing holding it to the house.

SPEAKER_04 19:23

No. I already know what's gonna happen. Look at the retaining wall. Is it moving? Oh whoa! Blew it over. It's gone rogue. It's gone rogue. Why did they cut it so early?

SPEAKER_05 19:40

Oh man.

SPEAKER_04 19:42

That's uh hey, good for him, man.

SPEAKER_03 19:44

Oh I've seen this one right through the floor.

SPEAKER_05 19:48

Why do they keep trying to take these massive brick structures down one failed swoop? Scrap that sledgehammer, man. Pry this out of here real quick.

SPEAKER_03 19:56

I mean, it would be quite convenient. Yeah, the get the in the video though, I think the noise, the guy's like, well, at least we don't have to uh take it downstairs. Get off the job site, Bill. Too soon. Is this is that a block wall they're trying to shure up?

SPEAKER_04 20:11

It looks like it. But look at look down here underneath the TikTok logo. Oh no, no. Oh no.

SPEAKER_03 20:17

Oh, this man's okay. No, stop it, stop it. Oh wow, I missed him. That's an expensive mistake. Those are not cheap. Jeez a man. Look at his face. You know he rented that or barred it. Oh, right in the eye. Right in the hat. See, these are always fake. Cam don't hold it.

SPEAKER_04 20:42

Find that guy. Let's get him some shop shades. He doesn't need some shopshades.

SPEAKER_05 20:46

He's still trying to get out of there.

SPEAKER_04 20:49

He's still trying to get out of there. Same guy. His fingers stuck. These just must be so terrible. Why? That probably is the worst feeling in the world. It looks like he missed it. Because I've done it. He's in nice clothes. He probably thought he carried it over and then he throws it down and it breaks.

Like the running jokes. Like a sparkies.

SPEAKER_05 30:39

I feel like they're also held on like a pedestal, too, where it's like everyone will like work around the electricians. You know, it's like the electricians are coming in and saying, This has to be done. This has to be done.

SPEAKER_03 30:48

SPEAKER_05 32:31

I think that can take the back door. Definitely kicked back.

SPEAKER_03 32:38

Not good. Body standing behind the blade. Get out of there. Get out of there, buddy. Get out of there. Keep the pressure into that.

SPEAKER_05 32:46

What are you doing? I feel like that's one of those things. Like, obviously, when you cut a panel, it's like a dangerous cut because it's super wide. But if I ever do it, all I'm looking at is the fence. I have a fence. You know, you're you know where the blade is.

SPEAKER_03 32:59

As close to the fence as possible. Look at the belt. It's an old ass table. Go back a couple frames. That open belt on the bottom.

SPEAKER_04 33:04

Oh wow, I didn't even see that.

SPEAKER_03 33:06

No outfeed table or anything. Just my guy just in his Nike shirt and his.

SPEAKER_04 33:11

I mean, in all honesty, you guys know running a table saw and you're running something older like that. Is your best chance if you're in a situation like that to just f fail on it and try to duck or something? If you can't get to the switch. I mean, if you're in a situation like that.

SPEAKER_03 33:24

This guy's problem was he didn't want to push it off the table, which means he didn't clear He didn't clear the blade. So you have to clear the blade first. But he looks, he tries to turn it off. It's what his left hand is doing here.

SPEAKER_04 33:34

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 33:35

And so you gotta clear the blade, then do ever whatever else you want to do.

SPEAKER_04 33:40

But if you can't do that, is it frowned upon just to get out of the way?

SPEAKER_03 33:43

Don't try to push something through the blade.

unknown 33:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 33:45

Getting out of the way, you're probably gonna get more five. Like, think about this. You get out of the way and like one thing grazes that saw blade. Yeah, and it's just stand there and take it. And it's just like an idiot you are.

SPEAKER_04 33:55

We got one native to TikTok.

SPEAKER_03 33:58

SPEAKER_05 34:13

Uh-uh. Oh my goodness. He's so happy too. He's like, I've just discovered something. I'm cutting off the shit.

SPEAKER_04 34:19

SPEAKER_03 34:24

SPEAKER_03 34:30

Give yourself a spacer board, buddy. Just set up a stop on a miter saw. That too, yeah. But I mean, like, if he puts a spacer board there, it clears a fence, it goes off, it falls, just goes right off the other side. Yeah. Oh. That's right.$300 cutter, a salad. It's a drill chuck. Oh my gosh. That thing's going ham. Might have come out of a CNC. Do I dare just run up and try and grab it? Let it go. It's some sort of a chuck. That thing's just cooking.

SPEAKER_04 35:00
