Speaker 6: 1:27

Yes, sir, is this Saturday. It's gonna be from 1 pm pretty much to dark Rider check-ins at 12 pm and then the actual event kicks off for 1 pm, but it's called the Bruce works invitational. We have 18 skate shops from all over the country coming in to skate. The world's largest Dining table made from recycled skateboards by myself and I suppose it's 13 feet long and it features like over 175 skateboards and a design of the of the piece. I've been working on it for like six months. It's super cool. I'm pumped about it.

Speaker 1: 2:03

So you wait. You built a table. It took you six months to build it and you know, let people skate on it.

Speaker 6: 2:07

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like it's literally like a $30,000 dining table and we're like paying people to come skate it. It's like Red Bull sponsoring it downtown Lafayette, scott behind it, lafayette travel is sponsoring it and it's basically like Yo, let's just, let's just show Lafayette in a different light and, like you know, let's, let's show, let's show the world like how creative people from Lafayette are and how rad it is to be here. Yeah, and that's like the whole premise, but through skateboarding and like my art and destroying stuff Kinda, yeah, but it won't be.

Speaker 6: 2:40

It's gonna be sick. Yeah, hopefully it doesn't get destroyed skating downtown Lafayette.

Speaker 1: 2:44

This is I'm going. I'm gonna come check it out live because I've never been to. I mean, we watch. Obviously, growing up I'm a little older than you, I think skating on TV Tony Hawk X games, all that right. I was terrible at skateboarding. I wanted to be a skater but, I was terrible at it so I didn't do it. So I'm pumped about him and watch it.

Speaker 7: 3:03

I never had a skateboard. Yeah, I had a go to the one you have now and in our other neighbor had a Ski rope and, by our powers combined with things, did you use a ramp? Huh, did you use a ramp? Well, no, the better part was when it rained and the ditches got full of water. Then we would post out the hydro slide. You had a problem every time you got to somebody's driveway or mailbox. I was fortunate.

Speaker 5: 3:32

I had a pond and a full willow. Then my dad decided he was gonna get smart plant trees. They didn't last very long.

Speaker 1: 3:42

So any, any, any pull-ins at the event this weekend. Everybody's just dropping in on ramps.

Speaker 6: 3:47

Um, I don't know. We'll see what people want to do. There's we'll have like over a hundred skateboarders that are coming in from out of town. We have like a handful of pros coming in, so there's and you know, everybody that's coming in to skate is they all rip. So I'm excited to see what people do. There's some interesting obstacles out there, like you're watching people skated $30,000 dining table yeah, super cool, but then watching people skate the other two obstacles that we have out there is also gonna be awesome.

Speaker 7: 4:16

So what else is gonna be out there?

Speaker 6: 4:18

So we have this dump trailer like that we kind of made Into a ramp that's gonna go between two ramps so you can like skate over a trailer. I'm really excited, like personally, to skate like the dining table is gonna be like looking cool. But like me personally, like what I want to skate, I'm like, yeah, I'm stoked to like jump over that ramp and yeah, and that's that's like that was presented by, like, katie real estate and J A Bear roofing.

Speaker 6: 4:41

And then we're gonna do the miss Reba's rail jam, which is like this crazy obstacle where you jump from a ramp onto a rail and grind 180 degrees and like you land facing that, like the exact same direction you just came from oh yeah, yeah, like right in the middle of Jefferson, downtown, lafayette, so It'll be interesting.

Speaker 1: 5:04

When do y'all start building all the obstacles?

Speaker 6: 5:06

the obstacles are already built, like we'll start setting them up, like I'll probably Like go meet the ramp builders out there like six or seven in the morning on Saturday. Okay but hopefully, yeah, that should be done by about 11, and then everybody would be able to start warming up by about noon.

Speaker 1: 5:22

So closing the streets down downtown Lafayette on on Jefferson first thing Saturday morning, yeah so we got.

Speaker 6: 5:28

We got the 200 300 block of downtown Jefferson shut down Shout out the Lafayette Sheriff's Department for helping us out with that and yeah, it's just like we have this skate, this big skate event. We're working with all the businesses downtown in that that area to basically, like maximize the opportunities for them and, to you know, help help their businesses. And then the after, the part that's not devoted to the skate course is gonna be for art vendors and food vendors. So, like To me, for me, I was just trying to create an opportunity for people to, like you know, go and like Showcase their craft and make some money doing it while, like, everybody's having a good time. I think, check the weather and it's like a high of 80.

Speaker 7: 6:11

So oh, I was looking at the weather and I was like this is gonna be perfect.

Speaker 6: 6:17

Yeah, it should be a pretty cool thing, it's also like Latin Fest downtown, so there should be like a buzz of people. I'm really excited about it. It's really showcasing Lafayette. Yeah, I'm like, I'm like it's it sucks, cuz I'll be like running around, but like I really want to skate the course like a bunch, like skate nerd.

Speaker 2: 6:37

I'm like yo dude, like it's gonna be really fun, like you're gonna have to set up an intermission or something and then use it. No, I'll be out there.

Speaker 6: 6:43

I'll everybody pause like I'll get my time. You guys will see me slam, for sure I might get lucky and land a couple tricks, but I'm yeah, it's gonna be a good time. Um, you've been skating how long I'm in my Jordan year of skateboarding? This is my 23rd year of skateboard, oh wow, yeah, I started when I was 11 and I'm 34 now.

Speaker 6: 7:05

So you must be stoked to like be allowed to skate all over Jefferson Street, and I get fussed out it is so crazy, like what has happened in the last couple years with skateboarding and how it's become like, like you know, not even just accepted, but like praised. You know, yep, like I grew up and it was total, like the first two years that I skated, it was not cool.

Speaker 6: 7:26

Like it was, it was not cool that I got some. I got called some heinous names for riding a skateboard. But now it's like it's so crazy, like through through Red Bull, they shut down the New Orleans, like the old New Orleans Airport terminal. Yeah, they not shut it down, but they took that shut down building and turned it into a skate park.

Speaker 5: 7:45

Yeah, so, like you saw that I saw clips of.

Speaker 6: 7:47

It was the craziest thing, like I've been three years in a row and it's, it's, it's Absolutely like, yeah. So it's just like when it goes back to like skateboarding being praised.

Speaker 1: 7:57

I tell you what look we. We run along in this segment, but I want to let's talk a little some more about this on the next segment. So we'll bring Daniel back. Next segment We'll talk more about skate.

Speaker 1: 8:05

It's the R2RO radio show planet radio 106.7, the best rock on the planet. It's the R2RO radio edit show. And we're still here, the whole group, eric with Eric, no, no, okay, matt Craig took Scott and we still have Daniel Bruce here and we still talking about skating because we want to hear some more stories about. Well, I thought this was interesting, right? We downtown Lafayette, at any event this weekend, shutting down part of Jefferson Street doing things that 10, 15, 10 years ago you got thrown out of there, for you were getting, you were getting that was sending you out of downtown Lafayette.

Speaker 1: 8:47

That didn't. I want people skating on stuff. Then they kind of started setting up some areas and it's been more acceptable with some skate parks are coming and now we doing they're shutting the road down.

Speaker 6: 8:57

Yeah, they're actually breaking ground on the Lafayette skate park. We're at this. Is that Thomas Park?

Speaker 2: 9:02

Where's Thomas Park?

Speaker 6: 9:03

Tom, it's on Johnson, across from service Chevrolet or service.

Speaker 1: 9:07

Oh, by legends.

Speaker 6: 9:08

Yep by the legends, by the legends, yes you're doing this big event.

Speaker 1: 9:12

You've put on some other things. You've been involved with some stuff in New Orleans. About how long ago was it when it started to become a little bit more acceptable to skate In town? And those I know in other bigger cities it's probably a lot longer than now.

Speaker 6: 9:27

But honestly, like I can't give you a time frame, because it almost happened like imperceptibly over time. Okay, it wasn't just like this one big flashbang and everybody's like, all right, we love this. It's just like, over time, like people, I think, the views on skateboarding started to change and people saw it as like a healthy outlet versus like, like a nuisance. You know what I'm saying and then you know like is like. Just, you see it more like on social media and more on the television, and now it's in the Olympics and it's just like. You know, it's kind of become accepted. So it's like, why would we buck the system?

Speaker 2: 10:03

Yeah, but like a few. Just a few years ago, laffy got rid of them little scooters that they dropped off everywhere. It's your memory. Yeah, they drop off scooters downtown and life is like nope. We cannot have scooters here. They weren't following the rules, chuck well, not even any rules, just like common decency.

Speaker 3: 10:26

Like just don't.

Speaker 2: 10:27

They were just dropping off next to the street, like all over the place, rather than dude, they had all the all the scooters would end up by uh, what is it, dick sporting goods? I'm like where they run.

Speaker 7: 10:40

Skaters weren't leaving their skateboards.

Speaker 1: 10:48

Maybe, maybe six months, it's still accepted in bigger cities, I mean I went to Denver back in March and they're all over in Denver.

Speaker 2: 10:56

Yeah, I feel was like nah. So they did the same thing with skin back to that day too them.

Speaker 7: 11:01

Then you said you said you built this giant table though, right, yeah, out of how many skateboards?

Speaker 6: 11:06

like like around 175 right now. So it's so I work with. So all the skate shops that are coming in. I also work with them. Whenever a kid goes and gets a new skateboard the wooden part of it most of the time they take the old one and they throw it in the trash. So I work with all these skate shops all over the country and instead of these old skateboards ending up in the trash, they save them up for me and I get them and, through a like a kind of a lengthy process, turn them into usable lumber and then make furniture handmade furniture and I make artwork from these old skateboards and the way that skateboards are constructed. You get lots of colors, because every skateboards made from seven layers of hard rock maple and usually one or two of those Ply's are dyed a color. I honestly don't know why.

Speaker 6: 11:52

It's done this way, but it's always been that if you, if you laminate them, it gets just like really, really colorful and then it's I don't know, it's super cool. So like yeah, it's kind of it's kind of cool that all these shops are now coming to skate the table that they supplied skateboards, yeah. I'm saying like, literally, like the table wouldn't exist for and for all these skate shops, Yep.

Speaker 2: 12:13

So that's pretty cool. So they got a little skin in the game too.

Speaker 6: 12:16

Oh, absolutely, like I couldn't do it, I do have one for these guys. Like these guys are, you know, they're all my friends, like they're all my friends, like it's honestly just me, just like kind of you met a lot of these skate shops because you were.

Speaker 7: 12:27

You were going around the country skating in events or doing skating, but I was.

Speaker 6: 12:32

I was a sales rep. I worked for a handful of skate companies over the course of some of my life and you know like I worked with everybody from like the army, air Force to Dillard's, to like these huge big box stores, but then I also worked with core skate shops and little mom and pop retailers and, as a skate nerd, the guys that I wanted to talk to the most were skate shops.

Speaker 7: 12:55

Because, they were nerdy enough about skateboarding to like base their whole life around. Yeah, not the billards purchase.

Speaker 6: 13:00

I mean, they were cool too. Don't get it twisted. But like, like, like me, like you know, like that's just over over time, the relationships, like you know, hey man, like I'd call up shorty, who owns deli skates ply in San Antonio, I'd be like yo, do you? Let me stay on your couch. You know like, you know like, and it I did that with all these guys and we skate together and we hang out and we, you know, we just like, became, you know, great friends because, you know, as like there's not that many people that will base their whole life around it, there's like less than you think you know yeah but, um, it's gonna be kinda cool cause, yeah, this table was made from skateboards that they all supplied.

Speaker 6: 13:39

So like there is over like 175 skateboards and the way I think about it is, every one of those skateboards has probably been kickflipped by some kid who was, like, using skateboarding as a positive outlet, you know, dealing with some type of something in his life, whatever it is. You know, like, how many kickflips has gone into this table? You know, like, how many kids are in their driveway?

Speaker 7: 14:02

That's what I meant. That's Matt's three-wheelers kept him out of a lot of other trouble.

Speaker 6: 14:07

Aren't three-wheelers like crazy.

Speaker 5: 14:10

It just gave me a whole breath of other trouble to do.

Speaker 6: 14:15

Aren't three-wheelers like crazy dangerous? Aren't skateboards like crazy?

Speaker 1: 14:18

dangerous.

Speaker 6: 14:19

No, like well, I mean, people heard them, so I heard them, so plenty. But people like dialed.

Speaker 2: 14:25

It's cause people turn too fast and they don't realize that when you only have one wheel, you don't have that corner.

Speaker 5: 14:30

It's like anything else, take a little bit of time. Find out how to ride it before you go and try it.

Speaker 4: 14:35

I'm just gonna say, like you can turn fast on a three-wheeler you just have to do it.

Speaker 7: 14:38

Yeah, you just gotta watch your way, absolutely, I was gonna say all the sports out there, yours is the only one dumb enough to only do three wheels, like they don't have a three-wheeled skateboard.

Speaker 6: 14:49

Wait, what's your sport? You just like race three-wheelers. I know, I was just stupid on three-wheelers and four-wheelers.

Speaker 3: 14:54

It's just basically anything that happens. You're from Youngsville, where you from.

Speaker 6: 15:00

I'm from somewhere else, abbeyville I just heard four-wheelers and three-wheelers and I was just like Youngsville.

Speaker 2: 15:05

Three-wheelers Jetski.

Speaker 6: 15:06

Vermeer and Parrish, and that propels me around the planet. The Marsbuggies, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 5: 15:13

You've not lived until you've ridden a Jetski through the mudboat canals in Vermeer and Parrish.

Speaker 7: 15:20

Well, it's so much fun. When we come back, we're gonna all tell us some stories about those days when we did stupid things when we were kids.

Speaker 3: 15:28

It's the R2RO radio show.

Speaker 1: 15:30

Planet radio 106.7, the best rock on the planet. The R2RO radio edit. We're back, Matt, Matt.

Speaker 2: 15:38

Okay guys, you can't do this every single time.

Speaker 7: 15:41

Matt's here, scott's here. I was gonna talk about real quick Today. Just this week my aunt passed away, so one. I wanna get a quick shout out to my cousin's, bill and Jamie and Jennifer. I know they actually listened to the show. They're like that's three of our subscribers.

Speaker 1: 15:56

There we go. Shout out to y'all, 15% of our listeners.

Speaker 7: 15:58

Yep.

Speaker 2: 15:58

And Charlotte was the best.

Speaker 7: 16:02

That was one of my dad's favorites. That was the one that sat with him when he was dying to shout out to me and Charlotte. But I remember because they lived one street over from me on Acorn Street and there was this part of Acorn Street where it went straight down and at the end of it going down it was about probably it felt like it was five miles to a little kid right. Yeah yeah.

Speaker 7: 16:25

And it was like some mom would bring out their skateboards and we had our little BMX bikes and you'd bomb down this hill and immediately in the hill it took a 90 degree left turn. Oh God, almost killed ourselves.

Speaker 2: 16:36

I did that many, many times.

Speaker 1: 16:42

It's bombing down dude, bombing down hills on bikes. My nine-year-old daughter is into that. Like we went ride bikes this week and she was like, are you surprised about this? I mean, no, I'm not surprised, but I'm we do it in motorized vehicles.

Speaker 7: 16:58

I know, I know, I know Much faster.

Speaker 1: 17:00

She has. She convinced me this weekend to let her bomb down a bridge.

Speaker 4: 17:06

Yeah, I remember Rad, the movie Rad from back in the day. I was trying to get my first BMX bike, you know, back when Mongoose wasn't sold at Walmart and everything. I was trying to move up from the smaller bike to the big bike and my mom was like, oh, I don't know, I don't know. So I took one of my buddy's bikes. Did you get the pegs? Oh, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3: 17:24

You had to have a ride. Yeah, yeah, it was all crumbling down. Did you have a road?

Speaker 4: 17:28

Every time I rode it I had to go wipe it down so it didn't rust. There was, you know, real chrome and everything. The stupidest decision ever, but you know it looked pretty cool, but so I took the bike and I had to go jump.

Speaker 4: 17:40

So we had ditches with the culverts, you know. So I had to jump the ramp to show that I can do it. Well, I hit it one time, boom, make a lap, come back around. The second time, wipe out, wipe out. But I got back up and my mom was like all right, cool, you good.

Speaker 2: 17:56

Yeah, that's what I, what I told my daughter at some point. She always kept doing stuff like she had hang upside down with her knees on her little swing set and I kept telling her you can't do that. You can't do that. She's like why? I'm like, well, because if you fall you're going to break your neck because you're not strong enough to stop yourself. So then we switched over to that Like if you want to be able to do that, then show me that you could stop yourself, or show me that you can not break your neck.

Speaker 2: 18:20

And so that's what she worked on.

Speaker 1: 18:22

I just tell her. I just tell her if you hurt yourself doing something I warned you about, don't come inside crying, and if you get road rash, I don't want to hear it whenever you're showering, right? So if she did it on a scooter, you know the sidewalk edging in the grass. She was rolling with no shoes on and I'm like you shouldn't ride a scooter with no shoes. You need to have closed toes shoes on when you ride that scooter. Listen to dad. I made some mistakes in my life.

Speaker 5: 18:46

Y'all level of supervision? Yeah, because I wouldn't ride on shoes, my dad walked outside. I had the ramp halfway built. He's mad because I didn't go get him to help.

Speaker 7: 19:00

And one of the games we had in the go cart was the guy in the passenger seat would just roll out of it At the bottom of the hill. Oh no. Just while you're driving as fast as you can, and then just tuck and roll, and then once a while they wouldn't jump far enough and you boom, boom, boom. Have you ever done?

Speaker 5: 19:18

that in a boat. It's like Baywatch.

Speaker 1: 19:21

Baywatch.

Speaker 5: 19:23

Yeah, I just jumped Baywatch yeah.

Speaker 2: 19:27

There was no Baywatch dude. You know who did do that, bam, and it was not his choice, I forced them to do that.

Speaker 1: 19:35

You threw him all the way around we were doing about 50.

Speaker 2: 19:39

And all of a sudden I hit left.

Speaker 5: 19:41

Bam should get his shirt that says honorary stunt man yeah.

Speaker 2: 19:46

He should.

Speaker 7: 19:47

he was always our first. I'm sure Daniel's probably Eating it harder than any of us on doing songs.

Speaker 1: 19:52

I saw a video of you. Yeah, cuz they're always on concrete and that

Speaker 6: 19:55

just, I've definitely taken some slams for sure.

Speaker 7: 19:58

I know that was the one we were talking about earlier. He skated in the old terminal in New Orleans Airport.

Speaker 5: 20:04

I saw clips of it. I don't really remember it, but I remember specifically seeing it, that that's where it was and it was awesome.

Speaker 6: 20:11

How tall was that? Right now it was like 13 feet. It was like, yeah, it was just. You know, when some lose some Handful eclipse of me definitely losing some over the years.

Speaker 1: 20:29

Yeah, I got back up.

Speaker 2: 20:33

But at least you got clips of that.

Speaker 6: 20:35

Yeah, yeah it's kind of funny because, as I said, I was like because that video got like two million views, so I was like all right, I don't think if I would have landed it like it would have gone.

Speaker 7: 20:51

What, what, what video?

Speaker 6: 20:52

of yours has the most views, dude me doing the dumbest thing of all time. I like I was like cutting this piece of wood in my shop and Dude, I can't. I don't know why, but in the moment my depth perception was just like off it, just like a long Bay or something. Polly man, I just I don't even know what happened, but I Went to reach for this piece of wood and I almost I didn't, I just like touch the blade of my saw and Thankfully my saw is a saw stop saw and it like saved my finger. But that video has like a hundred and fifty million views.

Speaker 5: 21:28

While you were talking, I was counting your fingers.

Speaker 7: 21:32

I know there's, there's like some really cool technology that saves my finger, but yeah, you seen those things where, yes, on a table, saw like, if it touches any, I guess it does something with, because I've seen them do with a hot dog.

Speaker 5: 21:43

Yeah, I've never seen by stupid, it drops the blade down into this thing.

Speaker 7: 21:47

that destroys the blade? Yeah, but it's instantaneous it's.

Speaker 6: 21:51

Yeah, the technology works by creating an electrical current and Wood isn't conductive, but your skin is. If your skin touches the blade, it completes the circuit and it activates an aluminum brake cartridge on the spring and it drops the blade below the surface of the table and like point one second. So like if if I wouldn't have had that technology, I would have lost the vast majority of my finger, if not a piece of my hand. But because of that it like just nick the skin like it didn't even leave a scar, I didn't need a band-aid.

Speaker 7: 22:18

It looked like. I saw the video and it looked like when they pierced your finger like. Yeah that's how little it hurt his finger and I'm repenting. Yeah, 100% worth every day and the number one video is him almost cutting off his finger.

Speaker 6: 22:34

You should see the comments there's like tens of thousands of comments, just being like this guy is an idiot.

Speaker 4: 22:42

I was like what is this dude doing? Take away his woodworking stuff now.

Speaker 7: 22:47

There is zero days since the last accident and the second most was you cracking your skull in the airport.

Speaker 6: 22:53

Well, uh, man, I've had snow, I've got some like probably after that it's like something, that piece of furniture, that you made some cool stuff. I've got some of those that I've gotten like over 10 million views, and Snoopy was awesome.

Speaker 5: 23:04

Snoopy was awesome, thank you, it'll be on display at miss Reba's this Saturday.

Speaker 6: 23:08

Yeah, that was a cool to see it in person, you'll be able to see the sculpture as well as a couple other things I made. I'll have a few coffee tables on sale, but, yeah, during the event They'll be, you'll be able to see it. Oh cool.

Speaker 1: 23:19

Next segment we're gonna talk about why this isn't stupid and for sure that that a finger protector is one of them.

Speaker 3: 23:25

So it's the R2RO radio show.

Speaker 1: 23:28

Planet radio 106.7, the best rock on the planet. This is R2RO radio edit. We're back to our segment for tell me why this isn't stupid. And today it's because what is it?

Speaker 7: 23:43

Oh, vehicles and mileage left when you guys take I was coming home from Arkansas yesterday and I did a bunch of dumb things, but I became that person we talked about in the podcast they did not have it stuff together and blew out a tire on a trailer. Oh wait, I blew out a tire on a trailer.

Speaker 2: 24:01

Oh, I bet he did. You get what?

Speaker 7: 24:03

about 75 miles an hour. That's the speed limit, right? Yes, I was going 75 miles an hour exactly on the money. And the tire on my trailer Blew out.

Speaker 5: 24:15

There's a never had that happen. They always do it 75 miles an hour yeah is that double, the double axle?

Speaker 2: 24:21

No, it's single.

Speaker 1: 24:24

One time.

Speaker 7: 24:26

So I start so now, because I saw an exit sign and said one mile and I'm like I'll drag this thing a mile. I have no problem doing that, because I did not want to be the dude that left it on the side of the interstate. I'm cool with being the dude who leaves it on the side of the honor.

Speaker 2: 24:40

So there's a YouTube video of you dragging a trailer.

Speaker 7: 24:42

Dumps Somebody you definitely put up on the side of me and told me there was a problem. I gave him the thumbs up.

Speaker 1: 24:51

Yeah, I know about it, I'm good.

Speaker 5: 24:54

And I was here. The robot voice over it. Now Look at this guy.

Speaker 7: 24:57

I did not have a spare, so I really didn't have my stuff together, so I had to jack up the trailer, take the the rim off. That it's all that was left. Yeah and then also take it off my truck and just leave it on the side of the road.

Speaker 5: 25:10

Hey, oh, hey, oh, hey oh. You had to do what. I jacked it up, dude.

Speaker 7: 25:15

OK. And you said you, you took it off. Oh, ok.

Speaker 5: 25:19

I took it off, Just I tried to clarify things.

Speaker 7: 25:23

Matt was following me, thank God, because I also didn't have the right lug wrench to take it off the trailer. It's how much it didn't have my stuff together.

Speaker 1: 25:30

You didn't have me stuff together. Is it hot? How is this leading to your gas tank thing?

Speaker 7: 25:35

Well, because that ended up, I had to go run 40 miles down to Alexandria to go get a tire for this thing and then come back. So I added 80 miles to a trip that I was like I got plenty of gas. Well, by the time I'm rolling into town I'm tired because I added an extra two hours to my trip. Yeah, I got a pee. You know how that happens the closer you get to your house, the more you got to know, the more you can hold it. Right.

Speaker 3: 25:55

No doubt, and so.

Speaker 7: 25:56

I'm like the truck's set Now. Trucks nowadays don't just stop at 30 and say low fuel. It kept going down. I got all the way down to 10 miles left.

Speaker 2: 26:06

You got to the 10? Yeah, my truck does 13 miles to the gallon.

Speaker 7: 26:10

I'm like I'm underneath the margin for air. Yeah.

Speaker 1: 26:15

That's huge, bro. I can't let mine get down that low because I don't trust the calculation, because the calculation has to do with how much I put my foot in it too. So you know, if I'm on the quarter tank of gas, I'm starting to look to get gas.

Speaker 2: 26:30

Wait wait, wait, wait, wait at a quarter.

Speaker 1: 26:34

Under under a quarter tank.

Speaker 2: 26:36

I'm going to start to look.

Speaker 1: 26:37

You don't have a gas, I'm going to interstate like coming back, going to or coming back from Arkansas. Like man I might be like an hour before.

Speaker 2: 26:44

I see another gas I get to interstate before An hour, an hour, an hour Possibly.

Speaker 5: 26:48

You OK, Mrs Craig? Yeah.

Speaker 1: 26:50

I'm good. What kind of a? I don't trust the calculation. What kind?

Speaker 4: 26:52

of back roads. Are you taking man? You're running a gas. You're running a gas. Yeah, I run mine.

Speaker 6: 26:57

I run it to like I know that my car will go another like 30 miles for sure before it just shuts down. So I literally wait till it's zero and I'm like rarely am I ever more than 30 miles away from a gas station, right, you know so, and I get 34 miles of the gallon. So my thoughts are like all right when it hits zero, like on the interstate, I can probably go and you know I could probably find a gas station within 30 minutes of driving.

Speaker 1: 27:21

How you got 31 miles.

Speaker 7: 27:22

So, industry standard. See, he's all across the country.

Speaker 6: 27:25

Like I've never, I've never, I said I ran out of gas one time because I literally was not looking like I was not paying attention to my fuel at all. I was like just driving and just thinking about all these things I was trying to do and I ran out of gas. But other than that, like I've never run out of gas and I run it to zero and then some for all the time.

Speaker 4: 27:47

This is how I know this is how I know. So I'm driving from New Orleans, coming back to Lafayette, taking I-10 and I pass up Laplace exit. So from Laplace to the next one's good 45 minutes or so. This is your 45 minute. There you go. So I pass it up and I have like five to 10 miles to eat. So I hurry up and get on Google. I'm like how far can my truck go?

Speaker 3: 28:10

You're good. So, yeah, so you're good. So industry standards industry standards are two gallons past zero.

Speaker 4: 28:18

So when it says zero there's actually two gallons left, because they don't want anyone to run a gas. So people like Daniel and I, we're going to push that limit and we're going to find out what it is. So I went all the way to the next gas. They just kept rolling. I kept it on 75. And when I passed zero I just started like looking with my passenger and I'm like how we get?

Speaker 6: 28:36

I do that too. That's beautiful. I do that. I like run that.

Speaker 2: 28:39

Wait, even a guy that's usually do that, like when it says I went.

Speaker 4: 28:42

I went 27 miles past zero.

Speaker 2: 28:44

Wait, does it say zero or low few?

Speaker 4: 28:46

No, it says zero miles. You can go like he got. He got it going in forwards like.

Speaker 7: 28:49

I do yeah, zero miles.

Speaker 2: 28:50

Mine stops at like 20 or so.

Speaker 5: 28:53

Yeah, I said I think it's like 24.

Speaker 2: 28:55

GM don't even want to play. They're like eh yeah.

Speaker 5: 28:58

You're like you get the 24 at low.

Speaker 7: 29:00

Just as low I got low Nice. Now, yeah, look, normally long trips is where I'll push it, but I'm on Craig's wagon, like every time I pass by Costco, I just fill up my truck. So, here's my, yeah, here's my theory, if I want to, I just have so much time?

Speaker 6: 29:16

Why, if I already in the parking?

Speaker 7: 29:18

lot, then just go through there and fill up, because now my truck is.

Speaker 3: 29:23

How do you look at the?

Speaker 6: 29:24

shower my truck is walking in the bathroom.

Speaker 7: 29:32

I'm at empty and now I'm at the mercy of whatever gas stations near me, whatever price they want to charge. My truck is full of the cheapest gasoline possible all the time.

Speaker 2: 29:42

I get Costco too, and I usually can fill up once a Sunday. What'd?

Speaker 6: 29:45

you do, You're actually three dollars Over the course of your lifetime. We do that too Well for me.

Speaker 7: 29:52

It's also like I said, I'm already in the parking lot, it's not that much extra time. I only go when there's nobody there, but I take advantage.

Speaker 5: 30:00

No, Juju will literally call 911 and send up a signal flare. She gets to three eighths of a tank.

Speaker 4: 30:07

That's what's so Terrified. Different people, yeah. Different people, yeah. I'll be driving her truck and she looks over and she's like that.

Speaker 5: 30:14

Oh, do we got to get gas? I'm like you need to call now, yeah.

Speaker 1: 30:18

Yeah Well, there's different people in this world and I'm not the zero on my gas tank person.

Speaker 5: 30:24

OK, weirdo no way.

Speaker 7: 30:26
