happy Thursday happy Thursday happy
[0:05]
Thursday la la la
[0:08]
la I'm just entertaining you this
[0:11]
morning that's not me I'm not like super
[0:15]
like I'm not a singer and that's not so
[0:17]
I want to say that's not authentic
[0:19]
Behavior like sometimes I might sing a
[0:22]
little bit to myself and I did that this
[0:23]
morning I thought oh that might be cool
[0:25]
to put on camera no idea what those you
[0:28]
know that last part is so maybe one of
[0:30]
you can tell me because I'm curious
[0:32]
that's a birthday song right um
[0:36]
well you know Friday is less than 24
[0:38]
hours away so I am super
[0:42]
excited um I probably won't be able to
[0:44]
post you know tomorrow morning cuz I'm
[0:46]
going to be super busy getting ready so
[0:49]
I've got three things I want to talk
[0:51]
about
[0:52]
today um the first one is is personal
[0:55]
some of you won't care and that's okay
[0:57]
you're here to see my adventures and I
[0:59]
can't wait to share those with you we're
[1:00]
really close to getting to that um but I
[1:04]
think some of you will want to get to
[1:05]
know me and I just want to be my myself
[1:08]
be authentic so um I also kind of think
[1:13]
of it as like a Learning Channel I want
[1:16]
people to learn from my mistakes I want
[1:19]
them to know they're not alone like all
[1:21]
of that like that's just who I am that's
[1:23]
that's that's that's me
[1:25]
so just tolerate that you know maybe
[1:28]
skip ahead if you want to and this is
[1:30]
about my mouth I'm in a lot of pain this
[1:34]
morning what they don't tell you is when
[1:37]
you have your teeth pulled out you can
[1:38]
still have pain um and sometimes it can
[1:41]
be really bad it can be really sharp
[1:43]
pain it can be a radiating
[1:47]
pain and it can just ruin your whole day
[1:49]
because you know what a toothache feels
[1:51]
like and and like most people I think
[1:53]
would describe that as the worst kind of
[1:55]
pain they've ever
[1:57]
experienced um and it is in my
[2:03]
opinion
[2:06]
today like so I've had this ongoing
[2:09]
issue for a long time where sometimes
[2:10]
this area just starts radiating pain and
[2:14]
it gets stronger and stronger and
[2:16]
stronger until it just starts radiating
[2:18]
up my head up into you know and it it
[2:21]
just gets real bad I've had quite a few
[2:25]
different places look at that they say
[2:28]
there's nothing there you have no nerve
[2:30]
endings there there's you know they've
[2:32]
done x-rays there's nothing there
[2:34]
something's there you know or this
[2:36]
wouldn't be happening to me something
[2:39]
and it hurts so bad um but you know they
[2:43]
say the nerve endings are back here I
[2:44]
didn't know that I just assumed they
[2:46]
were all around your mouth where your
[2:49]
where your teeth are but well they would
[2:52]
have gotten rid of those when they
[2:53]
pulled my teeth out but maybe a little
[2:56]
bit of a nerve got left behind I mean
[2:57]
how did they know unless they exploring
[2:59]
and I just really wish I could do
[3:01]
something about it but they all tell me
[3:03]
there's nothing to be done just live
[3:05]
with
[3:06]
it which is a horrible thing and you
[3:08]
need to know that because if you ever in
[3:11]
and if you
[3:13]
ever end up in a situation like I'm in
[3:17]
you're going to deal with that for the
[3:18]
rest of your life um and I'm also
[3:21]
feeling pain up here sometimes it's
[3:22]
called referred pain where you're
[3:24]
feeling pain is not really where it's
[3:26]
coming from it's it's interesting so
[3:30]
the pain down here could be referring
[3:32]
pain up here I don't know how that works
[3:35]
but that's what they call it but I think
[3:37]
this is related to my implant I'm a
[3:39]
little bit concerned about that because
[3:42]
I hope it's not a sign of rejection
[3:44]
because if it is and I I don't even know
[3:46]
what they would do
[3:47]
like um so that there's that's what I
[3:51]
want to talk about it's to encourage
[3:54]
others um to learn from my mistakes and
[3:58]
just to be my authentic self and share
[3:59]
my my experiences with
[4:01]
you um
[4:04]
I didn't have to pull all of my bottom
[4:07]
teeth out that might shock some of you
[4:10]
guys most of my problems were wor the
[4:13]
top of my mouth and I dealt with it for
[4:16]
years and years and years I could never
[4:18]
get ahead of the problem I spent a
[4:19]
fortune could never get ahead of the
[4:22]
problem and then when I I noticed my
[4:24]
bottom teeth were starting to get bad I
[4:27]
thought to myself
[4:30]
and this is the biggest mistake I have
[4:32]
made in my entire life I thought to
[4:35]
myself well I don't want to go through
[4:36]
that again you know I'm not going to get
[4:39]
ahead of the problem I might as well
[4:42]
just get them all pulled out and get
[4:44]
implants and I did that because I
[4:46]
misunderstood what implants were when I
[4:48]
hear the word
[4:49]
implant I'm
[4:51]
picturing new teeth being implanted in
[4:54]
into my gums you know and that's what I
[4:57]
what I thought happens but it isn't so
[5:00]
what happens
[5:02]
is they put some steel rods in your
[5:05]
mouth and Dentures sit on top of them so
[5:08]
you're just getting dentures that sit on
[5:10]
top of some steel plates or
[5:14]
whatever and if I had realized if I
[5:17]
known that I wouldn't have done it I
[5:19]
would have tried to save my bottom teeth
[5:21]
cuz they you know I really believe I
[5:23]
could
[5:24]
have so hopefully you know maybe someone
[5:27]
out there might learn from this
[5:30]
you definitely cuz you once they get to
[5:34]
a certain point you're going to have
[5:36]
pain for the rest of your
[5:39]
life nothing it's just that's going to
[5:42]
become a part of your life
[5:46]
forever okay so second I'm just going to
[5:49]
talk about the finance guy so
[5:52]
tomorrow I'm going to have to sit down
[5:54]
with the finance guy and and um sign the
[5:58]
paperwork he's he's been pressuring me
[6:01]
not a lot I I
[6:04]
think because he does keep saying you
[6:07]
know like he says I know about your
[6:10]
previous experiences I'm not trying to
[6:12]
pressure you I just think these things
[6:14]
are
[6:15]
important but you know he's a as weird
[6:18]
he's the finance guy but he sounds kind
[6:20]
of like a
[6:22]
salesperson and he's making me feel like
[6:26]
I'm making a mistake if I decline these
[6:28]
things and I've learned a lot from this
[6:31]
so last night I posted on Facebook about
[6:34]
this and I said look there's two things
[6:36]
the finance guy wants me to get I wanted
[6:38]
to just say no to everything and he's
[6:41]
pretty much convinced me that if I don't
[6:43]
get these two things from him then I'm
[6:46]
just an idiot and so I I said can you
[6:49]
share your experiences with me what do
[6:51]
you think and these are the two things
[6:53]
Gap coverage for a used vehicle of
[6:57]
2018 which I thought Gap cover coverage
[6:59]
was sort of a scam or maybe only
[7:02]
applicable
[7:04]
to new vehicles and so when I'm like why
[7:07]
on a used vehicle that's strange and the
[7:11]
way he justifies it
[7:15]
is uh if you're in an accident and it's
[7:17]
a total loss Insurance might not cover
[7:20]
the entire
[7:21]
cost I'm buying it for what it's worth
[7:24]
right now
[7:26]
I could sell it for what I paid paid for
[7:30]
what I'm paying for I really am a great
[7:33]
deal I got a great
[7:35]
deal um so what other people had to say
[7:38]
about that was you Gap coverage is
[7:40]
actually really important
[7:43]
and um because think of it this way
[7:45]
you're taking out a
[7:47]
loan um you're mostly going to be paying
[7:49]
interest in the beginning so the
[7:50]
depreciation even though it's used will
[7:53]
keep happening and you'll just you'll be
[7:56]
a little bit underwater um
[8:00]
and so they won't cover that and you'll
[8:02]
be responsible for
[8:03]
it makes a lot of
[8:06]
sense but I learned something very
[8:08]
interesting you do not have to get Gap
[8:10]
coverage from them you can get it from
[8:12]
your insurance company for a couple
[8:14]
bucks a month can you believe that that
[8:17]
they don't tell you that I mean there's
[8:19]
obvious why they don't tell you but
[8:21]
they're counting on us not knowing that
[8:24]
so I emailed and I did go with the
[8:29]
insurance agent from the
[8:31]
dealership probably not a good idea guys
[8:34]
don't do that because she didn't tell me
[8:37]
because she knows that the finance guy
[8:39]
is going to try offering it to me and
[8:42]
it's probably a couple thousand dollar
[8:44]
you know I
[8:48]
just a little bit upset about him tell
[8:50]
yeah I am so I a out her and I said look
[8:53]
I've learned this thing please get this
[8:55]
added to my
[8:56]
coverage I don't see how she she has
[8:59]
asked to I got Progressive I like she's
[9:01]
just my agent and she has to do what I
[9:04]
asked her to I
[9:05]
think
[9:07]
um and then the second
[9:10]
thing is a warranty on all the stuff
[9:13]
that's on the coach side they had two
[9:14]
warranties you could do the drivetrain
[9:18]
and the coach and I told him I didn't
[9:22]
want my payment like it's already high
[9:24]
it's 775 if I put more down on it I'll
[9:27]
be at 750
[9:29]
or 7:25 I'm trying to get it as slow as
[9:32]
I
[9:34]
can um no I think it's at 750 right now
[9:37]
and I'm trying to get it down to 7:25 so
[9:41]
and that just to me that just feels
[9:43]
safer I don't know my life's going to
[9:45]
look like in a year 5 years 3 months and
[9:48]
I
[9:50]
just I want to be cautious about this
[9:54]
so so
[9:58]
anyways I just explained that to him and
[10:01]
he said okay let me talk to my general
[10:03]
manager and then he gets back to me and
[10:05]
he says okay we've got it down to where
[10:07]
it's under
[10:08]
$800 and we can cover you with gap ins
[10:12]
Gap coverage and a warranty on the coach
[10:15]
side but not the driver train and so he
[10:18]
thinks that I'm going to do do those two
[10:20]
things because I did agree to him to do
[10:22]
that I don't have to when I go in
[10:24]
tomorrow I can just tell them to take
[10:25]
them off and I'm going to do that just
[10:27]
so you know um because the advice I got
[10:30]
from other people was these warranties
[10:32]
really are useless they find any reason
[10:34]
they can to deny the claims if you
[10:37]
really want a warranty shop around
[10:39]
outside of the
[10:41]
dealership
[10:43]
um I mean that just feels difficult to
[10:46]
me because how are you who can you
[10:47]
really trust
[10:50]
and and then think about what does it
[10:54]
cover you know and is it worth it
[10:57]
because maybe you can repair it yourself
[10:59]
maybe you can replace it and it's not
[11:01]
too expensive the biggest thing for some
[11:04]
people one is the fridge if they have a
[11:06]
nice fridge I don't so I don't that's
[11:08]
not that's for
[11:09]
me and the slides if the slides break I
[11:13]
mean that's probably really
[11:15]
expensive in my case I think what I will
[11:17]
do is just try to put that money aside
[11:19]
in case it
[11:21]
happens um because if I even though it's
[11:25]
only going up 25 a
[11:27]
month over the the course of my loan
[11:30]
which is 20 years that's
[11:32]
$66,000 not counting the interest so
[11:37]
that's a really bad deal I really
[11:40]
believe that with these Finance guys you
[11:42]
should just say no to everything because
[11:44]
they're making money off of you that
[11:46]
way so you can't trust them to give you
[11:50]
honest
[11:51]
advice so that's where I am with that
[11:54]
and
[11:56]
then the last thing it's the drive home
[12:05]
tomorrow um it's 9 in the morning guys I
[12:09]
got up at 8 um hopefully I'll get up
[12:11]
even ear I have to be up earlier
[12:12]
tomorrow but I'm loving this that I'm
[12:14]
actually been waking up early this whole
[12:17]
week but like I said I have the sort of
[12:19]
cyclical thing that happens with me I
[12:22]
have a medication for it called ramelan
[12:24]
I love it because chat GPT is the one
[12:26]
that found it for me my doctor had never
[12:28]
heard of it
[12:29]
and it has it it really works for me as
[12:32]
long as I take that when I want to go to
[12:34]
bed it's not going to make you sleepy or
[12:36]
anything like that
[12:38]
but I can't explain it
[12:41]
it it works it works really well for
[12:44]
me um so I'm trying to stay on top of
[12:47]
that because I love that I'm waking up
[12:49]
so early I think when I'm on the road
[12:52]
I'm just will naturally cuz I do when
[12:55]
I'm camping and stuff like that you
[12:57]
just it's like you're you're more in
[12:59]
sync with the world it it's just a
[13:02]
different lifestyle it's just a
[13:04]
healthier
[13:05]
lifestyle so
[13:07]
anyway um the drive
[13:09]
home I don't know if you guys know this
[13:12]
or not but I'm anxious about that I'm a
[13:16]
little bit afraid
[13:18]
because you you go to a dealership you
[13:21]
buy an RV and then without any training
[13:24]
whatsoever you drive it home which to me
[13:28]
that's crazy
[13:30]
um but lots of people do it so I guess I
[13:34]
should be able
[13:35]
to um it's 4 hours
[13:39]
away sorry guys something it's 4 hours
[13:45]
away
[13:46]
um well it's 4 hours to drive there and
[13:49]
it's like longer to drive back cuz I'm
[13:51]
only going to drive like 55 maybe even
[13:53]
50 I don't know we'll
[13:55]
see so it might take like 5 hours or
[13:58]
even and six cuz we'll stop like to get
[14:00]
gas and stuff like that and that's going
[14:02]
to be a whole
[14:03]
experience um so I have a game plan and
[14:09]
so first of all my dad's coming with me
[14:12]
we're going to take these very cool
[14:14]
walkie-talkies he'll on the way back
[14:16]
he'll drive my Jeep I'll be in the
[14:18]
RV he'll be behind me um and with the
[14:22]
walkie Takis like just for added peace
[14:25]
of mind I can say all right is it clear
[14:27]
for me to get in the next Lane over to
[14:30]
the left
[14:32]
because so I think most of this will be
[14:35]
easy but where I bought it
[14:39]
from there are a whole bunch of
[14:41]
interstates that are connecting with
[14:43]
each other there and I have to merge on
[14:45]
the right and then I have to merge on
[14:46]
the left and then I have to you know
[14:49]
like it's just it's just a mad Scramble
[14:52]
for a couple of miles and that's what
[14:53]
I'm most worried about honestly cuz I
[14:56]
have it was it was stressful in my Jeep
[14:59]
so can only imagine in a
[15:02]
camper so I'll have that and I think
[15:04]
that that's going to help a lot um and I
[15:08]
made this list last night I'm just going
[15:10]
to share it with you things to do at the
[15:12]
dealership when I get there
[15:15]
tomorrow adjust the mirrors put tape on
[15:17]
the
[15:18]
windshield um if you guys aren't
[15:20]
familiar with that concept you just you
[15:21]
put a little piece of tape on your
[15:23]
windshield that lines up with the lines
[15:25]
on the road that way you always know
[15:28]
you're in your lane like to me that's
[15:30]
like
[15:31]
awesome um install the dash cam the GPS
[15:35]
and the GoPro
[15:37]
maybe um I'll I'll actually talk about
[15:40]
that in a minute uh install the tire
[15:42]
pressure monitoring system guys I
[15:44]
installed the one on my Jeep um
[15:46]
yesterday and I wanted to share that
[15:48]
with you I put the GoPro on my head I
[15:51]
went out there and I did it myself
[15:52]
having never done anything like this in
[15:54]
my life I was so proud of myself cuz it
[15:56]
worked perfectly I wanted wanted to
[15:58]
share that with you but the GoPro was
[16:00]
like facing this way like straight and
[16:03]
you couldn't see me I'm looking down and
[16:06]
I'm you know reading instructions and
[16:08]
I'm putting stuff in my tires and I'm
[16:10]
looking at the engine and you can't see
[16:12]
any of that I was so disappointed so
[16:16]
fortunately I couldn't share that
[16:17]
experience with
[16:19]
you um but maybe tomorrow I'll be able
[16:22]
to
[16:23]
because this stuff I can record I have
[16:27]
to be super focused when I drive home
[16:29]
like I even just pressing a button on my
[16:31]
GoPro might
[16:33]
be I mean we'll see how it goes but I
[16:36]
you know Safety First everything safety
[16:38]
first for me um practice driving in
[16:42]
their parking lot of course you know I'm
[16:45]
going to try a bunch I'm going to take
[16:46]
my cones with me um and with my dad and
[16:49]
the walkie-talkies we probably will do a
[16:51]
pretty good job of setting up different
[16:53]
scenarios and just you know
[16:56]
practicing um test all the appliances
[16:59]
the air conditioning and the heat I once
[17:02]
bought a jeep that did not come with air
[17:04]
conditioning uh I just assumed all
[17:06]
modern vehicles had them and discovered
[17:08]
they don't I was so shocked and so my
[17:12]
last Jeep the one before this one it's
[17:14]
one of the reasons I hated it because it
[17:16]
was like I just felt like I had gotten
[17:18]
screwed on that one um and the heat
[17:22]
didn't work like all kinds of problems
[17:24]
and then so yeah I'm going to test those
[17:26]
things you learn from your experience is
[17:28]
right uh exall expanded mirrors so I
[17:32]
bought some that'll be here today and
[17:34]
they just expand the range on your
[17:36]
mirrors so see here's my biggest fear my
[17:39]
biggest fear is sideswiping someone I
[17:42]
feel like I can I can do most of this
[17:44]
very easily I'm not worried about a lot
[17:46]
of it I'm worried about hurting someone
[17:49]
I'm worried about sideswiping someone
[17:51]
because when I got my truck in December
[17:54]
huge truck
[17:57]
um 2500 HD I mean some of you will know
[18:01]
what that is it's like super big I was
[18:04]
like whoa that is the biggest truck I've
[18:07]
ever seen in my life it goes above my
[18:09]
head like I mean this thing is
[18:11]
huge and I almost sideswiped someone I
[18:14]
didn't see them um that scared me and I
[18:17]
was like okay at that point I'm getting
[18:18]
a Jeep again cuz I just love jeeps and I
[18:22]
don't know have to worry about that but
[18:23]
now I'm buying a camper so I'm like in
[18:25]
that situation again so anything it will
[18:28]
make that easier for me I know I have
[18:30]
cameras on the side but they Point
[18:33]
outward like from the the camper they're
[18:38]
not on the mirror so they're not looking
[18:40]
backwards you know towards that lane
[18:42]
which I really wish they did I feel like
[18:43]
that would be way better they just point
[18:46]
straight away from you
[18:49]
perpendicular so is it showing me the
[18:51]
whole side of the camper I just don't
[18:53]
know it really makes me a little bit
[18:55]
nervous
[18:56]
and of course use your me mirrors but
[18:59]
things are so small in those mirrors if
[19:02]
it's raining it's harder to see in those
[19:03]
mirrors like all of that like so I'm
[19:06]
getting expanded mirrors I hope that
[19:08]
helps me a lot um test water you know so
[19:11]
test all the water turn the sink on turn
[19:13]
the shower on maybe you know flush the
[19:16]
toilet all of that and check for leaks
[19:19]
afterwards uh climb on top of the camper
[19:21]
and you guys should know that I'm
[19:22]
deathly afraid of heights like just
[19:24]
deathly afraid of heights um and there's
[19:27]
probably a reason for that I don't mean
[19:29]
to get you know keep getting sidetracked
[19:31]
but I just want to share this with you
[19:32]
when I was
[19:33]
younger I was at a carnival and there
[19:37]
was this ride that took you like
[19:39]
straight up and you know little kind of
[19:42]
cabin it wasn't a ferris wheel it was
[19:44]
something different it just it took you
[19:45]
straight up and did whatever and I was
[19:51]
like it had to be before the middle of
[19:54]
fourth grade because that's when we
[19:55]
moved from Michigan and this happened
[19:57]
then
[19:59]
I got stuck with a woman who was older
[20:01]
than me and she
[20:03]
was not a lot older like a teenager
[20:07]
she held me outside of that thing by my
[20:13]
arms held me outside of that thing and
[20:17]
just was laughing her just just laughing
[20:21]
that memory has stuck with me my whole
[20:23]
life I was scared to death and
[20:28]
I think that's why I'm afraid of
[20:31]
fights
[20:33]
um so anyways I'm going to have to climb
[20:36]
up on top of the camper um and check the
[20:39]
seals um test the awning cuz we didn't
[20:42]
do that forgot to basically check the
[20:44]
doors and the door and the drawers so
[20:47]
just make sure everything shuts
[20:50]
well um test moving the side in and out
[20:54]
you know just do that a couple times
[20:56]
check the condition of the couch B cuz I
[20:58]
didn't do that I don't even know what it
[20:59]
looks like take pictures and measure the
[21:02]
hitch on the RV so the point of that is
[21:07]
I need to find out when I go to take my
[21:09]
Jeep and have the towing gear
[21:12]
installed um if the hitch is up too high
[21:16]
they have to put something on it I don't
[21:18]
remember what that's called but they put
[21:19]
something on it that drops it down so
[21:22]
that you can connect to that
[21:25]
instead that way you're just just a
[21:27]
better
[21:28]
better Driving Experience so that's my
[21:32]
list a lot of this is
[21:35]
about feeling comfortable and safe on my
[21:37]
drive
[21:38]
home
[21:41]
um and I think it's a pretty good game
[21:43]
plan you guys can tell me what you think
[21:45]
maybe there's some things you would add
[21:46]
to it I'd love to hear it I've got less
[21:48]
than 24 hours so
[21:51]
um I think it's going to go well I'm I'm
[21:54]
not too nervous I'm ex I'm way too
[21:57]
excited to be nervous right now like uh
[21:59]
I probably won't be posting in the
[22:01]
morning because I'll just be way too
[22:02]
busy getting ready I will post at the
[22:07]
dealership um and this is what I was
[22:09]
thinking and I'll post at the gas
[22:11]
station cuz that'll be my first
[22:12]
experience at like a trucker stop and
[22:15]
putting gas in a diesel like I just
[22:18]
think that will be fun just a fun
[22:19]
experience with my dad
[22:23]
and on my drive I probably will not do
[22:27]
anything thing just be focused and but
[22:30]
if I can you know um install my GoPro
[22:34]
the way that I want to might be easy
[22:37]
might not it just depends Safety First
[22:40]
it'll just depend so that's
[22:43]
everything um guys I am so excited we
