4:35 I'll show you. I didn't want to just give Hank the money. I wanted him to have fun. I want to make this an experience for what could possibly be more fun than a cash cycle machine. So, we're going to pay this off in installments. I'm thinking like 30 seconds at a time. Maybe uh maybe 20 different 30-second installments until he can get all the cash out of it. So, yeah, this is going to be fun. I think Hank's going to like it. Hank likes games.

5:05 Hey, you sold two. No, I'm not going to say. Do it. Say it. Say it. Say it. Say it.

5:10 No, it's No. I want I want to say double or nothing on the Super Bowl. $100,000.

5:22 I mean, double or nothing. We'll discuss. We can discuss. You got to take double or nothing.

5:27 I have a question for you. Would you be willing to potentially do a double or nothing on the Super Bowl?

5:33 That would be I've I've I have been thinking about the money and it is it is it is a lot of money. I do feel like just you know

5:40 vibes of karma I I am going to donate some to charity like 10 10,000. So no double or nothing on the Super Bowl.

6:27 Okay. So, Colton, I should get a rep. I should that should be an I should get an interest.

6:32 We got We got this for Hank. That That's And then Hank decided that he wanted to take me up on double or nothing for the Super Bowl. So rented this thing.

6:41 You know what, Hank? Get in there. Tell you what, I'm going to put some money in. And whatever you can get in here.

6:47 Whatever you can catch, you can keep. All right. Just cuz I'm a good guy. This is electric.

8:30 Yeah, that's 80,000. It's a lot of money, but I Yeah, surely the Patriots won't do it again.

8:52 Vans are the vans are parked in the garage, right? We got to get the vans out of the garage. We The van's not run. We moved PFT's car to move the vans out. Now the garage doors don't work. There's a note on the garage door that says these exterior doors not open.

9:08 What do we do? So the vans are stuck. Yeah, the vans are Where do the vans got to go today?

9:13 Car show. What time? So right now you're telling me we have we have plan to go to the car show in 45 minutes

9:22 and someone might have sabotaged the garage. The garage doors are broken. We haven't hit the button, but there's a note that says the door is broken. Like, we haven't We could hit the button and see, but if it's broken and we hit the button, what if I don't want to double break the doors?

10:26 But how? What? What's We're driving. He said that we're driving other Vanny back.

10:32 No, we're not doing that. I don't want to deal with both Vannies. I feel like that's tempting fate to have two vanies be running in 10°.

10:40 So the one hiccup on this is we do not have insurance on this. Okay, so we got to get there safe. We should also crack the windows, right?

10:48 Why? Because of carbon monoxide. Oh, maybe. But I wouldn't mind dying in it. What a way to go.

10:55 How cool that would be. What a way to go. This is it. Final ride for the vans and dine. has died many deaths. A

11:39 How do you think it handles in the snow? I don't know. I also don't really love the in the cold.

11:48 Yeah, you can see the road down there. Oh, yeah. Big time. You can see the road. It's freezing. I feel like it's colder in this van than it is outside the van. I don't know if this thing's going to make it. This thing does not sound like it's running great.

12:07 We used to smoke in this van. My last ride. We thought we had done this 7 years ago.

12:16 That's the thing. It's like the goodbye to Vandy happened. This guy's amazing that this car so many times.

12:25 Oh, these fumes are starting to get me a little. Yeah, crack that window. I can't I don't have a way to crack the window. There's no power thing over there.

12:31 Oh. Oh, right. I have power. Oh, wow. I forgot power. Nice thing about this open air motor is that we get a lot of fresh air though coming up.

12:44 Such a ridiculous setup. Credit to Hank. We We said it's never going to run again. He got this [ __ ] thing running.

12:51 Never a doubt. Perfectly back. Ready to go. Fully operational. Great work, Hank. Best five grand I ever spent.

13:01 I'm I'm worried that it's going to die in a stoplight. No, we're good. We're good. I love that we decided to do this on a day when it's uh 8° out. Yeah.

13:15 You know what? What if this is how Hank takes his nap? We get him on camera taking a nap. Big one.

13:22 That's concerning. It's starting to get warm now. I know. Got to survive 15 more minutes. We have 15 more minutes. 15. We can't go on the highway. Whatever this is, we're breathing. It's probably not good. No. What if we just pulled over and had a sign of some big car? No one would take Oh, yeah. Nice. Nice little heat system here.

13:50 Yeah. It feels nicer. Marshmallow. 220,000 miles. Didn't know when the guy s who originally sold to us sold us for $600.

14:04 What an idiot. I know fleeced. I can't tell if I'm my legs are really really cold or really really hot.

14:19 Yeah, it's one of the two. I think this leg's hot. How you doing, Hank? Napping?

14:24 Just trying to hold my breath. Just close your eyes. Yeah, the red lights are tough. That's when you really start to smell them. It's actually a great way to send off because if you just have to say goodbye and like wave to it as it got taken away, you would have been like, I'm going to miss that band.

14:57 But this particular ride, it's going to be like, I'm glad. Yeah. No, I I felt the same thing when I when you were like, oh, we're leaving it. I was like, oh, this actually should be sad. Now I'm seeing the state of it.

15:07 Yeah. We can't drive this more than this is about as far as we can go. Yeah. We drove it to the end of the road. Y
