Transcript excerpt

So the other day, I made the mistake of letting my wife drive my truck. I don't know. It's, like, making a weird noise when I drive, and it's also, like, really loud. So when you give it gas, it makes weird noises? Yeah. Yes. This thing is it up. K? I didn't do anything. Yes not supposed to be doing that. You stand by the exhaust. Better me know if you hear it. Get a little closer to the exhaust. You gotta get a little bit closer. What did you do to my truck? But little did she know this was all a part of my plan. Well, I was gonna blame this whole broken truck thing on her. When in reality, I did some work to the truck last week. It made it a lot faster. And you might be asking yourself, Steve, why would you blame this on your wife? Because she would never approve of me doing this. But now she thinks it's her fault, no she really can't say anything. I also blocked her on all social media, so she won't be seeing this video.
