0:51 enough for kisses 19 yeah he was trying to suck on the oils he is he certified mechanic though 19 is too old [Laughter] he removes his foot from the clutch he doesn't know how to drive stick oh ████ you gotta teach people to drive stick man yeah right jeep jumps up kills a married 42 year old father of four why and lifelong mechanic oh another mechanic yeah another mechanic uh so the 19 year old's in the in the in the car right vehicle jumps up kills the 42 year old father for a mechanic oh my god and they sue the guy for having a stick shift guy dies instantly and then um they're they're suing the the owner of the car not the kid who killed them no

1:42 not the 19 year old what ground and who's suing so how are you gonna sue your customer for ████ giving your business yeah that's that's gaslighting because the accident happened at work involved two employees you can't sue the boss in that situation according well can you sue the employee according to the legal standard uh what do you mean who would sue the employees the family who died like the family who had the dead father right that's the party that's suing right uh yes so why don't they sue the employee who killed the other mechanic they say they can't because they of this legal standard that is in this particular area so they just have to get somebody then is that what this is about because the jeep if the jeep was a gun you can't sue the guy that pulled the trigger that's crazy but you can try but not if it's at work i think that's the thing because it's at work yeah what

2:32 the so what's the actual charge so let's say you work at a gun store and someone pull the trigger you can't you can't uh sue the guy at the gun store or pull the trigger like a gun manager shot like the employee or something yeah an employee shot another employee that's crazy that's bizarre so the the attorney says that there the person responsible is the owner of the car and so yeah so the reporters are like you're suing the owner of the car who's getting his oil changed who did nothing in this case and he's like i have to i have to because of the technicalities so someone's kind of serious she wants money probably this is america we it's our heritage this is what we do it's our birthright someone's getting sued man it's our birthright i'm ████ blown by that that's ridiculous so ████ that's really fun if you haven't been sued you're not really american why don't they sue ████ jeep or something

3:22 right poor innocent guy nobody in america shoot his jeep that's true this attorney's gonna be very popular listen to this he says when you hand your car over to anybody including the valet or the person at the service desk at your local dealership you better be able to trust that person what ████ it's just an oil change so don't trust this business is what he's saying this business is a piece of ████ was it it was a jeep dealership or was it just like a mechanic that he brought his jeep when you're sitting in this channel and asking ████ like that it sounds like a it sounds like a jiffy lube was it a grand cherokee or was it a wrangler sport it's a dealership you pieces you mcbee

4:12 ████ mcb what's the actual jeep dealership that's crazy yeah because yeah where else do you drop your jeep off where else can you right it's an official dealership who can you trust anymore huh yeah you can't even trust a dealership who the ████ gonna drop off their cars to get worked on anymore i think a 19 year old secretly wanted to always wanted to kill that 42 year old [Laughter] stick shift here's my chance yeah people use that excuse a lot these days like oh i don't know how to drive stick it's like he knows so i ran over five children yeah i don't have a drive steak you know i'm a mechanic that doesn't know how to drive stick whoops yeah not a very good mechanic huh yeah how do you not know how to drive stick and you're a mechanic though that's pretty i guess 19 but still god damn well yeah 19 year old knowing how to drive stick today is rare probably but don't you gotta go to like drive stick at mechanic school yeah yeah if you're

5:02 gonna be a mechanic because you because he could technically fix a stick yeah but but how does he get it out of like first gear and why'd they leave it to him if he doesn't know how to drive sticks everybody knows the hardest part about learning how to drive stick is getting out of first gear yeah you know what i mean yep so first go what the ████ was this guy doing well maybe he's on an incline and then you hit the clutch and at what speed is this ████ going you know on like a flat like it's not like a mechanic's like always working on a ████ hill or anything you know what i mean it's just flat so even if you get out at first you got to be flooring it or something like that to like hit somebody or it could be the dude the 43 year old is in between the car and the wall and he goes hey can i walk through here yeah like sure i'm just going to check on whatever and then boom it jumps in so what happened to the guy from star trek right because that was a jeep too remember his car started rolling yeah

5:52 his car started rolling and then it was just like oh yeah that was sad oh yeah anton yelkin yeah that was uh why are we assuming this mechanic shop is an all-male mechanic shop by the way that's true it could be a female of a cat 19 year old that's not a dry stick only females in our drop sticks a woman driver is what you're saying it's your theory sounds to me like this is a women's mechanic they're very popular they're rising right world's first woman mechanic shop has a horrible accident that sounds like it has a ring to it kind of not bad um i think i think probably 16 is old enough for kisses in detroit if i had to guess i bet this law came out because of the huge ass car industry there oh yeah dude so they're like we can't have any liability for any accidents that happen for like car ████ definitely well it's detroit yeah

6:42 so imagine you have our dealership in detroit and you're going to get sued by your employees make sure it's all set up so you're good that's the best place to own a dealership then you can never get in trouble and everyone's leaving yeah you can't drink the tap water there either though right that's what i hear oh yeah that flint honest on the track michigan yeah yes sir i think they just leave detroit that's the problem with the story [Laughter] detroit should get sued what journalists wrote this news for detroit like fox fox detroit dude i bet fox in every other state's talking ████ about fox i like all this poor branch you have to go work at fox detroit have you guys been to detroit it's pretty crazy like i've seen boarded up skyscrapers

7:34 yeah and about like there's just abandoned neighborhoods not even homes like springs yeah several homes just plywood on the windows graffiti is just like mad homes just vacant wasn't it isn't there like a housing crisis here why not ship the people that's over there people here don't like to move out of state for some reason especially in this room yeah see people rather be homeless in california than have a home in this sunshine dude we love the sunshine well the weather sucks to be homeless in detroit yeah there's homes there that if you occupy and pay the tax and the utilities it's yours you get a free house yeah there's no one to kick you out there's no no one has that job there it's so dead like they're downtown where their skyscrapers are you could probably lay on in the middle of the street and no one will run you over for five minutes

8:24 it's dead it's a whole five minutes like it's like let's try it out it's like ████ loading those newspapers like that tumbleweeds yeah well the joke a couple years ago was like you could go to detroit with like 100 bucks and like be a real estate haven or something like that yeah cause like there were several houses like two bucks and shipped so you could have like five homes yeah or a hundred but then it's all dilapidated ████ so yeah you don't want that yes is that because uh what the oa recession thing the i mean the no the car industry left and that was the only thing they had and they never recovered after that they just slowly all of them were there like four so every recession they had just hit them extra hard so i guess what we're trying to say to this father of four who died is why didn't you leave detroit sometimes you have to victim blame and

9:14 this is one of those times good job to a 19 year old for working at a safe spot for him you know what man that's if i could travel back in time to the moment the thing's about to hit him i wouldn't say get out of the way i would say get out of detroit get out of detroit he's like huh he's like but you know it costs money to move right let's see i heard vegas is cheap i only talk to you about detroit because even when it was not this it was still s█████ to me oh you went back before it was all boarded up like we've been back there like several times for shows and everyone was always super awesome he owns a neighborhood over there in a skyscraper he's 19 million dollars yeah it's part of my net worth there's an area that they're trying to revive and stuff we saw were just like oh wow that's cool and then like you're like they're like like a hipster coffee
