Transcript excerpt

These are things me and my employees put up our butts. Me, personally, I've never put anything in my butt. Steering wheels, ECUs, transmission computers. Obviously, a car, I guess. Lawn mower, spare bottles of oil. Wheels, steering wheels, amplifiers. Motors and transmissions. Mhmm. Column switches, windows, window regulators. Tools, spare tires, maybe a propane tank. AC compressors, alternators. Fishing poles, hot rod, rock crawler, blond haired chicks.
