1:28
SPEAKER_00: And she said, No.
1:30
SPEAKER_00: So I said, Okay.
1:32
SPEAKER_00: And I texted him, his wife texted back to say, Oh, he's been real busy, blah blah blah, without saying when he's gonna come or if he's gonna come.

2:09
SPEAKER_00: It's nice, you know, hundred dollar jack or whatever.

SPEAKER_00: So I get here and I take the tire and I'm starting to undo the tire.
2:15
SPEAKER_00: I'm like, oh shit, I gotta jack this up.
2:17
SPEAKER_00: Well, my car's got a jack, like that, you know, comes with the car, but it's under, you know, it's underneath all my tools.
2:25
SPEAKER_00: So I had to take all the tools out.
2:27
SPEAKER_00: Then you got to take the tire out, and then there's this rusty old jack under there.
2:32
SPEAKER_00: But it did the trick, man.
2:33
SPEAKER_00: It got the it got the the golf cart up high enough for me to get this tire off, and that's where that's where I'm at now.
