Transcript
Well, I haven't messed with my sister's boyfriend in a while. And to be honest with you, I think he's getting way too comfortable. It's like he thinks he's part of the family now. And I just so happened to drive past his truck today while he was at work. And him and my sister have been together for a while no, so I'm done shaking him. But I do like messing with them. Could I get one of your guys' tow trucks out to done. It looks like somebody took the rear suspension out. It's it's in the way back of the parking lot. You'll you'll know exactly which one I'm talking about. Alright. I'll meet you over there. Alright. Thanks. Bye. And at this point, I don't really have anything against my sister's boyfriend. I just really don't like squatted trucks. So you're welcome. There's one less squatted truck on the road today. Oh, yeah. We should probably get out of here.
