#7 All Access guess that repair
===
Gene Fetty: [00:00:00] Hey, what's up everybody. Gene Fetty with the Automotive Appearance Institute back at you with another episode of our all access podcast. Uh, so we're still having fun. This is officially episode seven of our episodes, even though we have our bonus episodes out there. Uh, anyways, still messing around with the style shows we're going to do.
Uh, Dylann, we got Dylann a mic. We promised that a couple of shows ago. Now it's happening and she's here. Uh, so we're going to try a new segment today, not the whole show, uh, but called guests that repair. So I consume a lot of social media, a lot, watch a lot of, uh, dent repair slash glue pool repair, uh, videos.
Dylann is going to see if I can look at a repair and see the style and see the video style and see if I can pick out who did the repair. She has not [00:01:00] shown me any of these. In fact, she was covering up her screen when I walked into the studio earlier today to make sure that I didn't cheat. So no cheating.
We're going to see how we do. Uh, then we are going to head on over for a virtual pit stop, uh, into the world of ridiculous, ridiculously bad DIY repairs on, uh, Tik Tok with a bonus, actually pretty good repair. The dude kind of impressed me. Uh, then we're going to talk about, uh, I got to repair a jet. This way, like an actual jet flies in the air.
Uh, we've got to do some glue pole repair on that. Uh, we're going to walk you through some of the before and after. And that's my second time repairing a jet. I'm going to talk about the differences and what has changed over the years. Since the last time I went to the airport, uh, then we've got some events we're going to talk about and that'll wrap it up.
So Dylann,
Dylann Jaimes: yes.
Gene Fetty: Are you ready to play [00:02:00] guess that repair?
Dylann Jaimes: I think the better question is, yeah, I was going to say, I think the better question is, are you ready to guess that repair?
Gene Fetty: There we go. Let's give it a go. Let's see what, let's see what you're going to try to stump me with here.
Dylann Jaimes: So I think the first one is probably going to stump you.
I think the last two, you're probably going to get, that's the only hint I'm going to give you like
Gene Fetty: multiple choice. Or I just have to like, these are like social media celebrities and I can watch the video. Like these are names I should know.
Dylann Jaimes: These are names you should know. I think the first one. I think the first one's going to stomp you.
All
Gene Fetty: right. Any thanks? Probably some dude from like Uzbekistan. It's written in another language. I don't even speak.
Dylann Jaimes: I'll give you one hint. Chicago.
Gene Fetty: All right.
Dylann Jaimes: That's it.
Gene Fetty: All right. That's
Dylann Jaimes: it.
Gene Fetty: Chi town coming in.
Dylann Jaimes: Ready?
Gene Fetty: Oh yeah. You totally screwed the pooch though. Cause that's Deva. Wow. I'm really good at this game.
Good job. Way to really mask out the faces. [00:03:00]
Dylann Jaimes: I couldn't mask out the faces. It was, this one was really hard to mask out.
Gene Fetty: So let's see it. Cause I've watched a lot of Devo stuff. He makes great content.
Dylann Jaimes: That's so funny. All right, let's go. It's
Gene Fetty: dentless touch Chicago, by the way. Yeah. Pretty good dent hood.
Popping the hood.
Dylann Jaimes: Oh, and you have no audio on these.
Gene Fetty: That's all right. I don't need the audio. Let's see if there's anything that really would have given it away if, uh, if it wasn't Dave, uh, Hmm. I want to say maybe the style would give it away, but that's only because, uh, I see that it's Dave. I saw that it was Dave.
All right. Well, that was easy. That was a gimme. But I think you're right. I think you probably would have, I would've got it there. I think, I think you probably would have stumped me with that one. But I do love Davos videos. The dentless touch guys are, are strong.
Dylann Jaimes: They're primo. I almost use one of Chris.
Yeah. Chris [00:04:00] Ray. I almost use one of his videos cause he did POV. Oh, nice. It was like, you didn't see his face, but I feel like you would have recognized the shop. Like,
Gene Fetty: yeah, right. Well, that's what I'm hoping for is shops. The shops will give it away. Yeah. All right, let's go to the next one. Let's see if you can, do I need to look away?
To make sure that you're not. No, I did. Accidentally cropping faces out.
Dylann Jaimes: So for this one, I did crop his face out. Okay. I zoomed in on the video. Alright. And I saved his face. So I'm gonna give you time to guess before I show you his face. Okay. If you didn't guess it already.
Gene Fetty: Alright, well let's see. Alright, we're tatted up.
Hmm. I'm
going to get adjusted that leave on.
Dylann Jaimes: That was quick. Yeah. That was, I think I
Gene Fetty: remember this repair. I remember you showing me this one. I remember the repair and the shop sort of gave it away. Yeah. Yep. Leave. If you're listening guys, [00:05:00] if you're not, I can't believe that you would be listening to my show and not following just a dent on social media.
But if you aren't following. Leave on and the guys over at just a dent, go check it out. His social media is on point. Uh, very inspirational, actually kind of inspirational to bring us to what we do, uh, social media content wise. So, all right,
Dylann Jaimes: two for two. I know, but
Gene Fetty: you gave me a gimme on the first one.
Dylann Jaimes: So this one, this next one, I don't know, but I did want to make a point that whenever I first started here, you showed me just a dense videos and you were like, I love this style.
Gene Fetty: And I think that was before I even got to meet leave on. Yeah. Like. I was just super impressed with his, uh, style, like so engaging. So, so fun to watch.
Dylann Jaimes: It really is one of my favorite people to watch in the dent world.
Gene Fetty: Nice.
Dylann Jaimes: All right. Next one. All
Gene Fetty: right. Let's see it. Hmm. I don't know the car. Oh, [00:06:00] oh, it's Michael Hidrago with, uh, Heavenly Hail Repair.
The background gave it away.
Dylann Jaimes: That was so quick. You would have gotten it as he got into the video. Probably.
Gene Fetty: Yeah. Well, let it play. Let's see. Let's see where else I would've got it.
Dylann Jaimes: Cause the time lapse is so quick and a little bit further away that I didn't know if you would've, I don't
Gene Fetty: know that I would've caught his fit. I would've got it there. I would've caught his face. Uh, believe it or not, it was his background. Right. When I saw like the first, the first cut, the background gave it away, but that like, that brings up a point.
consistent, right? We're still building out the studio. Uh, it is in disarray right now because it's so busy in the shop that I refuse to turn this camera around and show you. Uh, but the idea is once this studio is built, I want it to be like, as soon as you see a video, you're like, Oh, that's AAI. [00:07:00] And our dent repair now business, the PDR business that's on the other side of that wall.
I feel like we are already getting that look. The new shop is all glass, big glass garage doors, beautiful floor, great banners up on the wall. I feel like that brand is there and those videos are there. And you'll be like, Oh, that's a dent repair. No video. Just like heavenly hair repair. I was like, Oh, so the background, I'm like, Oh, that's Michael Hidalgo.
Dylann Jaimes: Exactly.
Gene Fetty: That was it. That was the giveaway right there. Nice.
Dylann Jaimes: And that's the, that's the confirmation
Gene Fetty: and go follow heavenly hail repair, heavenly underscore hail underscore repair. And also if you're on Tik TOK again, because I consume a lot of social media, uh, him and his wife have installed started the Hidalgo family.
And I may be butchering your last name, dude. Sorry. But anyways, uh, they're putting out great content as the family too. Uh, and they have a little Tik TOK shop going. So shout out to them. to those guys. [00:08:00]
Dylann Jaimes: I'll make sure the handle is in the notes slash on the screen. So we are done with the game. So we're going to move into undefeated.
He's undefeated. He is three for three this round.
Gene Fetty: We got lucky.
Dylann Jaimes: I thought it was going to take a little bit longer. I
Gene Fetty: think you would've got me with the first one, but you dropped the ball, dude.
Dylann Jaimes: I, I, yeah, I'll do better on the next one. I'm taking notes, mental notes. And also if you guys have suggestions for games, Feel free to let us know.
Gene Fetty: Yep. Just trying to make an entertaining show for you.
Dylann Jaimes: Yeah. The more engaging,
Gene Fetty: entertaining and educational. Yes. All right. So now let's head on over and we're going to make our virtual pit stop in tick talk land. I don't know if I'm excited or worried or like about to get angry. Cause. Pretty terrible things we see on the social medias.
Now I'm not going to actually get angry, but we are going to talk some smack. So let's, let's head on over and see what [00:09:00] some of the, the tick tock finds of the week are also side note. If you have seen repairs, send them to us Instagram, Facebook, wherever. And we will put it in the catalog too. Uh, Check it out.
Now I see this one. Uh, this is one of those, I believe he's foreign. I think there might even be maybe some Russian or Eastern European, uh, text that comes up on the screen.
Dylann Jaimes: Yes. And you can't hear the audio of the videos, but it's like, I don't know. It's some kind, it's not music that I'm familiar with.
Yeah.
Gene Fetty: So foreign. Now I will say it. Asterix side note. The stuff you're going to see in this video should probably not be repaired in the United States for sure should not be repaired, right? These should be thrown away and made new. However, [00:10:00] in foreign countries, it is not always possible to get parts. Uh, and that's where, uh, some of these incredible technicians, uh, they're almost not forced, like Physically forced into it, but like you can't get the part.
So they're doing incredible metal work and reshaping and saving metal. And it may cosmetically look right structurally, pretty sure it's compromised that being said. This is in fun, not in education here, right? So, so let's see what this guy's doing because I think I actually found this video and sent it to Dylann.
Yes. Right. We're sort of both keeping an eye out and we've ruined her and now her feeds are full of autobody and PDR repairs.
Dylann Jaimes: Flooded.
Gene Fetty: She shakes her head.
Dylann Jaimes: Flooded.
Gene Fetty: Uh,
Dylann Jaimes: I love it though. So
Gene Fetty: this is actually a pretty cool move. Uh, go ahead and hit play. Cause I think this, this part of the video is pretty short.
So he is binged up like the hood is down in. It's actually a pretty, it was a pretty cool move where he used the [00:11:00] tension, right? He used feet glued to the panel and he was able to re, uh, almost like re tension the panel down. Very satisfying. It was that move right there is what sold me on, uh, checking this out.
Uh, but when you watch these guys, the metal work they're doing, pretty impressive. The key system, you know, a lot of GPR was born out of the key system. Uh, Dan Rikiki, shout out to The Dent Guy, uh, maybe the Dent Guy in New York, but TheDentGuy. com out of Rochester, New York. He sent me over, uh, an auto body repair out of an Asian country today.
I don't know if I forwarded that to you or not. Nope,
Dylann Jaimes: I don't think so. We need to make a
Gene Fetty: note. It's one of the most impressive metalworking videos I've seen in quite a while, and she has a pretty cool trick on glue pole. So teaser for another episode. All right. What's up next?
Dylann Jaimes: So this one is oh my gosh.
It's a tick tock shop [00:12:00] product it's
Gene Fetty: these Suction cups are like the bane of every dent repair tech's life How many times retail how many times have you opened up like the customer's trunk pack of these suction cups? They bring the car up. It's like the frickin dents are circled Suction cups, these things are terrible.
I can't believe, right, a little bit of a rant here. I can't believe that people think that this shitty little suction cup is going to pull out collision damage. Like it just doesn't make sense. Even their videos, even their commercial is terrible. So Dylann, we're going to just play. And when they pop it, pause right away.
Dylann Jaimes: Okay.
Gene Fetty: Right. So we've got this
Dylann Jaimes: first one,
Gene Fetty: big dent in the door. Right? This is the first one. Hit it. Pull. Right? Stop. You gotta be faster, Dylann. I'm trying. That's what she said. We gotta teach her how to use a computer. Right? So, pop. [00:13:00] You missed it. Right there. Right at the top. The frickin dent's still there.
It's like, oh, nothing to be seen here. Let's go to the roof. Yeah, there's still a dent there. We don't even need a light. Bunk. It's still all buckled. All back there. You didn't fix anything. You made a dent move. Now, if you're going to bring it to a PDR Tech, you just cost yourself more money because you locked up the metal.
Drives me freaking nuts. Alright, next. Let's see what we got.
Dylann Jaimes: Well, there's still more to this video. That's what I mean. Oh, okay. What the flip?
Gene Fetty: What do you, yeah, press play. There we go. So, bonk, still got a dent. Bonk, still got a dent. Boom. I'm not even sure we had a dent there. Wash your car. Oh, and you pick up a tile that might be the very last one.
The blue one at the end might be the only one that actually fixed, but I'm pretty sure if you just slammed the [00:14:00] door shut, boom, it would have popped out also.
Dylann Jaimes: So here's it in like slo mo.
Gene Fetty: Yeah. Maybe the only one that works. Like
Dylann Jaimes: right up. Yeah, there's still some
Gene Fetty: distortion there. Yeah. And the fricking suction cups, I had to put it in because it drives me nuts.
Dylann Jaimes: I'd also like to point out that the product is called suction cup, strong car dent repair.
Gene Fetty: That's pretty good. Car dent first aid is good. It is good. Well, it's not even is, it's just car first aid. Good.
Dylann Jaimes: With the sunglasses emoji.
Gene Fetty: Yeah. Cause it's cool.
Dylann Jaimes: Exactly.
Gene Fetty: Yeah. All right. It's on carspeed if you want to follow him on TikTok.
Or troll them on TikTok, whatever. Alright, now this guy. First, the boiling water thing. I see it on bumpers, I see it on panels. I can't believe there aren't more videos of people who are like, Oh, I'm gonna film this, and I got second degree burns all over my feet because I poured boiling [00:15:00] water and it splashed all over my feet.
I know it happens. They're probably too embarrassed to post the videos, because they're all DIY. Why? You're burning yourself. And so this is watch me fix this dent in my car with boiling water and knuckle sandwich. So it takes a minute for him to heat it up with the boiling water. I want you to see his theory behind it.
Dylann Jaimes: And he also lets it sit on the car before he works on it. Like he doesn't
Gene Fetty: let it soak in.
Dylann Jaimes: Okay. I guess that makes sense. But I feel like if you want to, like it's supposed to be hot.
Gene Fetty: That was a joke.
Dylann Jaimes: Oh. It's fine. I miss them.
Gene Fetty: So, so we've got two pots of boiling water, maybe three pots of boiling water here.
And where's the text on the screen that says the hot water is supposed to make the metal more malleable. Oh, right there. The hot water is supposed to make the steel flex, making it easier to work with.
212 [00:16:00] degrees.
Dylann Jaimes: Or so YouTube tells me is the next text that pops up.
Gene Fetty: Right. So 212 degrees is where water boils. So your maximum of heating that up to 200 degrees, you're not going to change any steel at 200 degrees. Now look at this. This dude is punching. He's punching the inside of the car. Great. Great. You got some dents out of your car and you just broke your fricking hand.
So now you've got a 50, 000 bill at the hospital. 50, 000 bill. for your broken knuckles because you punched the dent out of your car. What are people thinking? Like, seriously, what are you thinking? Well, you got it to move. I'll give him that. But like, he's wailing on it. My knuckles hurt just thinking about what he's doing.
Like, and dude, your camera angle, you put it behind the leaves. Come [00:17:00] on.
Dylann Jaimes: Get us up close and personal.
Gene Fetty: I would rate this like a negative five out of 10. It's like you're causing yourself physical harm to try to fix your car.
Dylann Jaimes: What would you rate the other two videos?
Gene Fetty: Hmm. Let's rewind. Let's do a little, let's do a little rating here.
All right. So first dude, I'm going to give him a good rating. Like shouldn't be doing it, but he's making some pretty smart moves. I'll give him like a seven out of 10. But he's sort of forced to do it and he's showing this guy some skills. He's clearly a, uh, an accomplished technician. I just don't speak that language to tell you what that said.
Um, I'd give him a solid seven out of 10 suction cups are next zero out of 10 would highly not recommend. You're just going to cost yourself money. Unless we did see that it will pick up smooth tiles. So you could, if you're tiling, you're like, Bathroom.
Dylann Jaimes: It could work.
Gene Fetty: And the tiles are smooth.
Dylann Jaimes: Yes.
Gene Fetty: [00:18:00] Then I'd give them like an eight out of 10 and make sure
Dylann Jaimes: it's clean.
Gene Fetty: The suction cups really aren't that great. Like they make better ones. So, but if you're going to pick up tile,
Dylann Jaimes: we'll give you,
Gene Fetty: we'll give you an eight out of 10. Yeah. Zero out of 10 for dent repair. Then
Dylann Jaimes: I was going to say eight out of 10 in total.
Gene Fetty: Zero out of 10 for dent repair. And then you said,
Dylann Jaimes: what was this rating?
Negative seven.
Gene Fetty: Negative five. Negative five. Negative five because you're like breaking your hand and your camera angle sucks and you almost burned your feet. I don't like it. I don't like it one bit.
Dylann Jaimes: And I don't know if you noticed his breath is like,
Gene Fetty: it's cold. We'll look at the steam roll off. He's wearing a jacket.
The kick is nice. The kick. I've actually, I will, I will admit that on some big caved in wholesale nasty stuff, I've used my feet. I really have like I've gotten in there and before, before, uh, big blue pole or, you know, I'm not saying I haven't done it, but it was rock lot stuff and it was a long time ago.
Dylann Jaimes: He was Jackie [00:19:00] Chan in that thing.
Gene Fetty: Well, it was a slow controlled kick. It wasn't a kick. It was more of a push.
Dylann Jaimes: Okay.
Gene Fetty: Yeah.
Dylann Jaimes: That makes sense. All right. All right. Next one.
Gene Fetty: Oh, the glue stick. When we're talking about glue pull repair, this is absolutely not what we're talking about. I mean, now rewind. This is where it started.
I remember being at Mobile Tech Expo, uh, in Orlando. Uh, this is a good handful of years ago. Uh, way pre Kiko for sure. Uh, and Terry Siegel, uh, was giving a talk on glue pulling. And Terry's a, first of all, super nice guy, incredible technician, and he's like an OG. He's been doing dents, uh, I would imagine as long as dents have been.
really mainstream in the US. Terry's been around a long time. He was talking about doing hail damage way back in the day. Uh, and again, [00:20:00] right? Small, dense, uh, and they started glue pulling actually this way, right? It's not collision damage like this, uh, but actual little hail dance. Uh, they were heating the end of the stick up and put it on and pull and see what you can do.
Uh, it was a very interesting talk. Uh, maybe we'll have to get Terry on the show one of these days and do like an old school glue pull talk. It'd be a good guest. Terry, if you watch this or listen to this, hit me up. We'd love to have you on. Anyways, so back to these glue sticks. glue sticks. I've got one thing that I'm going to give them props on here.
Well, actually I'll give them two props. First they went after right down the deepest part of the dent, right? So they logically thought through there.
That's a lot of glue sticks. And then how are you going to, if you could grab them all together, maybe, I don't know, go ahead and let it [00:21:00] play.
Dylann Jaimes: This is a short video. So we'll play it a couple of times
Gene Fetty: and we get it like, actually get a good move. So they're following the body line around. And then when the dent comes off the body line, they follow that.
Like you got good moves right there. They knew to use alcohol to clean it off, which was good. Yeah. Dylann has a question.
Dylann Jaimes: I would like to make note that he hot glued the glue sticks.
Gene Fetty: Huh?
Dylann Jaimes: He hot glued the glue sticks. Look, look at this. I didn't see this before. He's literally
Gene Fetty: gluing the glue sticks. Whoa.
Yeah, you're right. I missed that. So, wow,
that's good. So hot gluing the hot glue to the end of the glue stick.
Dylann Jaimes: I've seen like heating up the glue. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's, I seen
Gene Fetty: torch and like melt it and put it on. That's a, that's next level crafty right there. That's craft school 201. They've moved up. [00:22:00] This could be a really great repair. If that scratch will buff out, this could be a full PDR repair.
Certainly the way that moved with glue sticks, it literally glue sticked it. Uh, man, certainly an incredible glue pole repair to get ready for. work without a question. So, but hats off that they did know or they found out that alcohol is the release for the glue. So we'll give them that one. I'm going to give them like a 5.
5 cause they thought they thought it through. They made some good moves, uh, and they used these cleaning to get there.
Dylann Jaimes: Yeah. They really stuck the landing on this one.
Gene Fetty: Yeah. Something. All right. Let's see what's next.
Dylann Jaimes: We got two more.
Gene Fetty: All right. Oh, this one. Oh, okay. You know what? I'm going to, for you audio people, uh, the best place to view this whole podcast is [00:23:00] probably on our YouTube channel at auto appearance Institute.
The video will be up after the audio goes up maybe, or maybe it'll be up in time.
Dylann Jaimes: They should be up in time this week. They should all be up on Monday.
Gene Fetty: All right. So Dylann's not going to be a slacker this week. No, she's going to get it all done. I'm actually sorry, James Harris, that your video wasn't ready.
Dylann Jaimes: Oh
Gene Fetty: man. The death look we're going to have to get Dylann on camera.
Dylann Jaimes: Yeah. Give me a go
Gene Fetty: for the audio people. I am going to talk you through exactly what's going on on this repair. Cause this is. This gets a little complex. Incredibly complex.
Dylann Jaimes: Yeah.
Gene Fetty: All right, Dylann. So hit it. So we've got a sedan parked We've got a sedan parked but rewind that that dent was already in the car
Isn't it right there Maybe that was just the thumbnail. All right, so we've got a sedan looks like maybe a Subaru [00:24:00] doesn't matter sitting parked and a black Silverado backs into the door. And the guy's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, my car, my car. And now he's going to throw like every internet trick in the book.
Plus some, we started out with some gorilla spray adhesive onto the panel. Then he torched that to dry it. Now he's taken glue sticks. Melted it with a torch, smeared it over the car. He's reheating it with a heat gun. He just hot glued one of those God forsaken suction cups. Two of those, three of those God forsaken suction cups are now hot glued to the car.
He's busting out the tick tock, uh, ratcheting cargo straps. He's now duct taping the seams around the door and onto the other panel. And he's taking a clothes hanger and going down in the door. I'm not sure what the purpose of that [00:25:00] is. Now he's hooking up to the same truck, uh, with his ratcheting TikTok cargo straps.
He's going to pull forward. Now he's got to pull, he's backing up. I think he's going to, is he going to send it? I've watched this a few times. Sort of my, like, jaw just hits the floor, really. And shocker, the suction cups fell off the car. But we got a thumbs up at the very end.
Dylann Jaimes: It moved like nothing though.
Gene Fetty: Now I'm going to see if anybody's paying attention here. We're going to do a bag of glue. We're going to send you a bag of glue. I've got a bunch of different glues. My choice. I'm going to send you a bag of glue. To your house or shop. If you can tell me what, where he went wrong with the duct tape.
Dylann Jaimes: Oh, [00:26:00]
Gene Fetty: this is a throwback.
Only old school PDR techs are going to get this answer. It could be a door ding. com thing. The answer is on YouTube and I will leave it at that.
Dylann Jaimes: So I pulled up just a little screen grab so people can get really absorb it.
Gene Fetty: So you're going to have to see, so I will tell you it is standard duct tape over the edges.
Uh, let's tape down silver duct tape. According to one of the great philosophers in dent repair, something's wrong here. If you can find the YouTube video that tells you what kind of duct tape to use for this type of repair and the first person to send it to us, I will send you a pack of glue. That's all the hints.
Cause if I give too many hints, it would be like putting Dave O's face. [00:27:00] On the opening screen of like, guess that's
Dylann Jaimes: listen, it was my first time making a game for this podcast.
Gene Fetty: And if you're the person that created the video, you're not allowed to participate and you don't fix dents anymore, but we still love you.
Alright, so this repair like
The card doesn't look totaled like I have no idea what this kid what this like This is the kind of repair. You've got to go find this video. We'll have the links It'll be in the show notes, I think, or show notes maybe.
Dylann Jaimes: Yeah. Show notes and in the description.
Gene Fetty: All right. Perfect. There we go. And I keep forgetting you have a mic, so you can actually just chime in and answer here.
I got you. This is beautiful. Uh, I really give me your bet. I, the coat hanger, man. I don't,
Dylann Jaimes: I really don't like, I get like the concept of a whale tail, maybe like pushing, but there's nothing.
Gene Fetty: And unless I really. I don't know. I [00:28:00] wonder if, so the duct tape, I wonder if he was thinking that the duct tape would hold the panel on if he pulled too hard.
Dylann Jaimes: But I feel like if you pull too hard, it's just going to go duct tape. It's not. Oh, and if
Gene Fetty: you want to see somebody pull too hard, head on over to the Kiko social medias. And I know Danny Hacker posted it and watch the poll he makes on the door where he's standing on the green lift. Uh, go Danny,
Dylann Jaimes: crazy dad
Gene Fetty: gummit.
That was a hacker approved pool, by the way. Um, so why, why is this dude using spray adhesive that just doesn't make any sense and then the like melted hot glue smeared all over the panel and then you're using hot glue to try to do a glue pool, but you're using. suction cups. Like this dude should go watch the man of steel, [00:29:00] uh, dent discount on YouTube and like just make some tabs out of two by fours.
It would have been more effective.
Dylann Jaimes: Yeah.
Gene Fetty: Right. Some eye bolts and a two by four with his straps. He could have got somewhere. He may have needed the, uh, the duct tape to hold the, the car together. I don't know. It's just, you guys, that is like, that is my favorite, What the fudge repair? Uh, cause we're trying to not be too explicit.
What the what? I think I watched it three times before my brain could process all of the chaos. And like,
Dylann Jaimes: I'm just lost on why he did it in the, like, I get, he wanted to do it for the video, but like you purposefully backed into your car. It hit it
Gene Fetty: pretty good. I mean, it was like Bryce Kelly. Advanced skills seminar wrecking into cars to fix it.
This dude.
Dylann Jaimes: I like
Gene Fetty: there's no Bryce Kelly
Dylann Jaimes: at the beginning like he hits it And then [00:30:00] goes more?
Gene Fetty: Yeah.
Dylann Jaimes: And more.
Gene Fetty: Like, oh, maybe I didn't hit it hard enough. I don't know. Maybe the car's destroyed with hail damage, got a blown motor, and he was like, I bet I get some views out of this.
Dylann Jaimes: Oh, and that's a Honda.
Gene Fetty: Do it for the gram.
Oh, it is a Honda. Yeah.
Dylann Jaimes: Girlfriend got a Honda.
Gene Fetty: Man. And he stood there for a while to melt those glue sticks like that. This guy, like he
Dylann Jaimes: put
Gene Fetty: some thought into it.
Dylann Jaimes: He really wrote down every hack he saw on Tik Tok and
Gene Fetty: said, I'm going to throw it. He should follow Kiko's six C's really. That's check. Choose clean coat.
Correct. Continue.
Dylann Jaimes: For those who don't know.
Gene Fetty: Yes, but wow. Uh, so it's at Bobby MacGyver. You know, I'm gonna have to go check out his channel and see if he just does goofy shit. I hope he's just having fun.
Dylann Jaimes: Maybe he just trolls online with stuff like this. He
Gene Fetty: even taped up the
Dylann Jaimes: top of the door.
Gene Fetty: Yeah. We didn't want to pull the door off.
I guess. I don't [00:31:00] know. It's crazy. He got good adhesion. All right. That like that dude, like broke the fricking internet for me.
Dylann Jaimes: So what was the rating?
Gene Fetty: What are we rating on?
Dylann Jaimes: I don't know. So you said the other guy that kicked it in was a negative five.
Gene Fetty: Well, he like did physical harm to his hand.
Dylann Jaimes: Yeah. But this guy, I mean, do you think he hurt the paint?
Gene Fetty: You know, I think we're going to have to come up with a scoring system for these.
Dylann Jaimes: And
Gene Fetty: it's going to have to be like multiple, like did the dent move tool selection, safety, Tom fullery.
Yes. Like we need like a tier list. Yeah. We need to, we're going to have to, we're going to have to stack it up. Cause like. He put some thought into it.
Dylann Jaimes: He really did. And you know, you got to give him credit for the effort, I guess.
Gene Fetty: Right. He's trying to follow a process. I mean, it's not the process, but it was trying to [00:32:00] follow a process.
He should, he should go to GPR masterclass. com and check out our training.
Dylann Jaimes: He absolutely should.
Gene Fetty: He could learn a lot there.
Dylann Jaimes: He could GPR masterclass.
Gene Fetty: Or he can be really dangerous there. Yeah, but if you want to learn how to do this right gprmasterclass. com shame is plug. It's my show I can do whatever I want So you
Dylann Jaimes: gave this guy a five and a half.
Gene Fetty: Yeah. All right, so you have a five and a half
Dylann Jaimes: I feel like this guy deserves five
Gene Fetty: I'm good with a five
Dylann Jaimes: like he put in until,
Gene Fetty: until we, we come up with a better scoring system.
Dylann Jaimes: Yeah.
Gene Fetty: Yeah. And we may have to do like a best of at the end of the year. Well, at the end of like a year of podcasts,
Dylann Jaimes: like how Spotify does their Spotify wrapped.
Yeah. We might have to go back
Gene Fetty: and rescore as we adapt this stuff.
Dylann Jaimes: I like it.
Gene Fetty: All right. Last one. Last one.
Dylann Jaimes: Last one. Best one.
Gene Fetty: All right. So now this video, I got to give this dude some props.
Dylann Jaimes: Yeah.
Gene Fetty: Like [00:33:00] Let's go ahead and let it play. I don't think it's a, I don't think it's a big deal. So this guy's right.
Like I generally am not a DIY dent repair person. This guy's doing it right. Car's worth 300 bucks. He's got a door ding man. It's not going to be worth paying a professional to fix it. So he bought a kid on Amazon, not a fan of Amazon and cheaply made tools, but people buy them. I think he may have gone through the master class though because he's fallen a lot of the steps uh, and he's really Doing a pretty good job of placing And and he may even be doing better here Really just working the metal Uh, he may be doing better than than some of the techs I see out there like he's taking a rip it We're gonna get this guy's an alcohol but He really did You That may be the best DIY dent repair I've seen, uh, [00:34:00] online.
Now this guy might be a body man. Uh, he drives a Supra cause he's at Jason's underscore Supra. Where's the car guy, but he did well. Like he really thought through it, picked a tab. He had several glues to choose from like,
Dylann Jaimes: and no
Gene Fetty: way do I condone buying Amazon blue pull kits. Like buy real stuff. If you're making a career out of this.
Just buy the right stuff from the companies that innovate. But for this DIY guy, and we're not making a commercial, but Oh, here we go. Yellow is for United States and European cars. Black is for all cars and warm temperature and the clear is for Japanese cars. So I would imagine the yellow is going to be a stickier, harder pull.
Black's going to be like all purpose, warmer weather. And that clear is going to be our weakest pull because your Japanese, your Asian vehicles typically have your lighter steel, unless you're high strength steel, right? Of course. But [00:35:00] real technicians know that, but he picked it. He chose, he went back and forth and he was like, this tab's too big.
This tab looks just right. Uh, and look how he's gently working it up. I actually liked the spread on those feet of that lifter because you can see what you're doing. I'll give this,
Dylann Jaimes: I'm giving
Gene Fetty: this guy a nine out of 10. I can't give him 10.
Dylann Jaimes: He didn't have alcohol. 8.
Gene Fetty: 5. No, he got it off though because a lot of customers come in when they try to do that stuff and they're still glue on the car.
It's my, one of my favorite things to do, right? They don't want to admit they touched it, but, uh, but It comes in and you look at it and you're like, Oh, they tried to glue, pull this. Cause there's a bunch of residue. I love coming in back into the office or, or if we're doing an estimate. And I'm like, I don't, I don't know what's on your paint.
It's like all gooped up. Like I'm not sure it's going to [00:36:00] buffer. I don't even know really what's going on. And they're like, you can watch their, their like, their body language is like, I messed up. And they're like, it's, it's just, I tried the hot glue stuff and I can't get it off. And I'm like, Oh, Oh, don't worry.
I have a solvent that will take that right off. We'll be good to go. But I love to watch them squirm a little bit when they tried it themselves. I really love when we look at a car and give an estimate and we're like, And they don't schedule right away. And then they come back, tail tucked between their legs and they've got the glue on there.
I mean, he can really lay it on there. I love to make them sweat a little bit. And we're like, I got you, man. We'll, we'll get that right out.
Dylann Jaimes: They don't know that they're working with the glue room.
Gene Fetty: That's right.
Dylann Jaimes: So that's it. What was your favorite video to watch?
Gene Fetty: So the guy with the PT cruiser really was good.
Like that was good. The, [00:37:00] uh, every time that dude punched his quarter panel, I could feel like, like, man, I was, when I was a teenager, I was angry. I would punch things like in frustration. My hand hurts just thinking about like,
Dylann Jaimes: Oh, that was black and blue,
Gene Fetty: but I got to give props to the PT cruiser guy. He did a good job.
He'd really did a good job. Yeah.
Dylann Jaimes: Shout out Jason's supra.
Gene Fetty: Yeah. Jason's under Jason's plural underscore supra.
Dylann Jaimes: I wonder if there's many Jason's that own one Supra, or if it is Jason's super, I guess
Gene Fetty: they probably don't let you do like, I never get the apostrophe right on, is it like plural or
Dylann Jaimes: plural? And like, I can't think of what it is, but like possessive.
Gene Fetty: Yeah. I just put a apostrophe in. If somebody wants to like, call me out, I don't care. I'm not an English major. I'm a dent guy.
Dylann Jaimes: That's why I write the cap. So I teach
Gene Fetty: glue pulling and not English.
Dylann Jaimes: Yeah.
Gene Fetty: All right. So what are we doing next? So we got, we're coming up on the airplane [00:38:00] repair. Yes. The ever controversial, you worked on a jet.
Oh my gosh. You're going straight to hell. It's the second time I've done it still here. And actually this, uh, this repair, um, being, it was probably 10 years ago. 10, maybe 12 years ago that, that I did the first jet repair, uh, and really didn't, didn't know that anything needed to be done. Didn't know what questions to ask.
Uh, in hindsight, safe repair work next to an AMP mechanic the whole time. In fact, I had him holding a light for me because it was an awkward position, uh, to fix. Uh, and these guys, those guys are not going to let you do unsafe repairs. But anyways, so we got a call from the, uh, private jet charter company that we had worked for in the past.
And they were like, Hey, you still doing that dense stuff? Like, yeah, still doing that dense [00:39:00] stuff. Um, they said, Hey, we've got a jet in that's getting restored. And, uh, I'm not sure exactly what happened, uh, but it ended up with like three pretty good dense. Right along the, what's that word? Emanage, Emanage, Emanage.
Dylann Jaimes: Emanage? Emanage sounds right. It's a fancy word. It was like E M M E N A G E.
Gene Fetty: Yeah. Emanage. Invoices closed. Where you at? Let me see my notes. Print preview. A repair on the Emp, like empanadas, the empanage,
Dylann Jaimes: the
Gene Fetty: mechanics like that sounds way better than tail section. But anyways, we were on the empanage, uh, is what we had.
Uh, something came and sort of bounced across the bottom of the jet, uh, and put in some ugly dents [00:40:00] and actually broke some paint, uh, underneath. Uh, so they needed to paint it, uh, which is why we were out. Um, So let's talk about, let's walk through the repair first and then, and then we'll go through some of the technical, uh, safety things that I learned yesterday.
Uh, so on, before we start this on the first repair I did, uh, it was way pre crease killer in hindsight or right. Knowing what I know today, I guess that is hindsight, right? Uh, I probably could have gone back to that first repair And, uh, with a crease killer set up or maybe the cam auto, uh, smart mini lifter and his, his extended crease tabs probably could have pulled that out on that repair.
It was on the nose underneath the captain's window. Uh, I couldn't get glue pull to work, but this is like when a [00:41:00] blem crease tab would have been like the best crease tab going maybe even pre black plague. Crease tabs, right? Like it's been a long time. Uh, I ended up fixing that one in the car. I crawled into the cockpit.
It was all stripped out, crawled into the cockpit. I had to look up through the glass through the windshield. I actually had a, one of the mechanics holding a mirror so I could see my light that was down below the dent was a crease. So I was working tapping from the inside, like knocking down a high spot, but the backside of the crease, looking up through the window at a mirror down at my light, that was below the crease, uh, to work it out.
Dylann Jaimes: Wow.
Gene Fetty: The reason we had to do that, right? Like, Oh, just put a panel in it. Uh, they would have had to pull the glass. To replace that panel and I think they told me this after I gave them my bill
Dylann Jaimes: naturally smart
Gene Fetty: play It would have been like 25, 000 [00:42:00] to remove the windshield out of the jet To get to where they could replace that panel That part is in the pressurized cabin.
So on the ground, it sort of looks wavy and like Kind of nasty actually. At altitude when it's pressurized, uh, they said those panels go like perfectly flat as glass. They look like super straight because it's pressurized against the outside air. You can't put any filler on a panel like that because if it stretches, filler breaks loose, goes through the turbine, blows the engine up, everybody dies.
That's a really bad day for a whole bunch of people. So the first repair to come in and work that to a primable level to where they could just you primer and that's what we did. We were able to get it close enough to where they could prime it and fix it and call it a day.
Dylann Jaimes: Right.
Gene Fetty: Fast forward to this repair, uh, it's on the back side, um, and hit Glupal has come a long way in the [00:43:00] last, Fast I don't know, whatever that was 12 years ago or we'd probably have to pull out a timeline out and figure it out.
Maybe even pre mobile tech Rx because I don't have an invoice for it. Uh, what I was able to use here is right. The body's aluminum, so harder to pull, need to over pull all that good stuff. Uh, we went with the cam or the Anson hard pull collision glue. Right for that maximum hard yank, uh, the Keiko dead center, super tabs that are purpose purposely designed and built for aluminum repairs.
Uh, and I was able to use the K bar, put the foot on, on part of the airframe where the rivets are and, uh, pull. So let's, let's take a look at the damage here. And, uh, again, can't put filler on the plane. So we came out to, um, Uh, we're going to teach Dylann how to use a computer. All right, quick little technical difficulty.
Maybe Dylann will edit that out. So you won't even know there was a hiccup, but I'm [00:44:00] totally thrown her under the bus with this commentary here. It's all good. So we had a little, a little hiccup. So here is a, uh, here's a little view of the damage. Not severe, but again, they can't put any filler on this. So if we can't get it close enough, uh, to prime, they can't fix the damage.
The dents, right? And this thing was in for like, they had the engines out for a rebuild, like refurb in the wings. This jet is getting a total, uh, makeover. So let's hit it and take a look. So good dent here. And that is just broken paint. It's almost like this, uh, paints, or this plane has been painted before, uh, but three good shots all right next to, different, I guess it would be like ribs and the airframe.
Uh, and again, nothing crazy deep, but, uh, deep enough that like, they're not going to prime out. And those high spots were, were kind of ugly. Like it would [00:45:00] sort of suck to put all this money into the plane and leave those dents there and refinish over it. Um, so the plan of attack, go ahead and next video or play a plan of attack was, uh, especially because they were right next to the, or right next to the ribs.
I was able to use the, uh, robo lifter and the smaller dead center tabs to sort of finish it off. Um, good, strong pulls. You can see just how hard we're able to pull. And that's part of what makes those tabs so magical is that, that thinned out face that bites onto the plane and holds, lets it over pull, uh, and lets you get in, uh, Get the, the metal to invert, right?
So you can over pull the aluminum the way you're supposed to, uh, making sure my foot is on a good spot. I certainly don't want to create more damage, but look at the, you can see the movement. If you're watching the [00:46:00] video, you can see how much movement we get around the, uh, tab. And, uh, we were battling a little bit of a temperature issue.
Did not bring a heat gun in the stand. It was a little cool in the shop. Uh, and trying to sort of work a little too fast. Uh, but we got it dialed in. We got great moves. Uh, knocking down was a little hard and, uh, working sort of like upside down and backwards, like knocking over your head, uh, was a little.
Dylann Jaimes: Here's a close up of that move. So here's a
Gene Fetty: little close up. You can just see how much movement we're actually moving the metal over to. The next frame that also shows you just how tough that aluminum is. That's why on that original jet repair I did forever ago, uh, the, the inferior glue pole technology at the time just couldn't hack it.
Uh, you need purpose driven stuff. Uh, this is the first glue pole repair [00:47:00] I've seen and certainly done on a, uh, on a jet. Um, and then here's our after, here's where we got it to. just a little bit of texture right on that highest. That was the uppermost rib, uh, but pretty flat. I would think that the airplane body shop should be able to work that down.
Uh, and the other ones are pretty flat and certainly inside of, uh, primable. Uh, and if you, I think I give you a little look here where the plane is, it's not glass flat on the ground. Anyways, it's got a little bit of a ripple to it. Um, there we go. And that's where we're at. Super impressive. Uh, I was really impressed even as somebody who glue pulls all the time, like a big part of my career is glue pulling.
I was impressed with just how hard that pulled.
Yeah. Right. Dylann
Gene Fetty: was Dylann had a blast out there the other day watching that happen. So [00:48:00] very, uh, really a cool repair, uh, and a really a huge win for glue pull repair. Let's talk. Oh, Dylann has a question. This is not school, Dylann. You don't have to put your hand up to ask a question.
Dylann Jaimes: No, but I don't want to like talk over you, you know? So I just want to like, Hey, right. Do they have airplane body shops or do you think they have somebody come in from a body shop to the hanger? Like they did with us?
Gene Fetty: Oh no, there are full on airplane body shops. Really? Yep. That was how I got introduced to these guys is a friend of mine who owned a couple automotive body shops, got his pilot's license, got into aircrafts and a, uh, an airplane body shop came up for sale and he bought it.
That's how I ended up here is through an airplane body shop. So no, there are full on body shops just for airplanes.
Dylann Jaimes: So for the listeners, how would they get into a repair like this? Or how would they, [00:49:00] yeah. How would they get into a repair like this?
Gene Fetty: Uh, so I don't think you're going to go to your like local international airport.
Um, so this is, this is a, a private jet. Charter company is, is who this repair was done for. I would say if you're looking to pursue this, uh, look for small local, uh, county or regional airports. There are small airports out there, uh, and that's where you're going to run into stuff like this, which leads me into a little bit of the, the technical safety talk, uh, that I want to talk about and address so that the trolls in the comments.
Don't roast me for working on a plane and like, you're going to lose everything and blah, blah, blah. That's the, that's always been sort of the mantra in the PDR world is like, you can't work on a plane. ,
Dylann Jaimes: but I can,
Gene Fetty: and you're kind of right and kind of wrong. Uh, so [00:50:00] yesterday, right at a, at a repair facility or this was it yesterday?
I dunno, this was, yeah. Yeah. That was y was actually yesterday. Yesterday. Not yesterday. When you're listening. Yesterday when we were recording.
Dylann Jaimes: So this would've been Thursday, October 24th. Yeah.
Gene Fetty: Right. Yeah.
Dylann Jaimes: Yep.
Gene Fetty: We're at the repair store. Are they repairing and restoring? Jets. It's like, it's what they do there.
It's a, it's a aviation shop. Um, one, when we originally went in to look, uh, we were in there with one of the mechanics in a bore scope, uh, seeing what the access was like, they had inspected to make sure there were no bad rivets, that nothing, nothing structural is damaged, right? They did that inspection, not us.
That's, wheelhouse for sure. Um, originally when they called. Right. Hey, you're still doing that dense stuff. I think you can get your tools right to this. So I packed up my tools, a small selection of tools and went up and we walked in and I'm like, I [00:51:00] can't get any tools on here. Uh, we're going to try to glue pull it right and set it up for, for the repair date.
So verified with a and P mechanics. The people who work on planes and sign off on it, uh, that yes, the approach we're going to take is safe to do on this part of the plane. No sweat at all. Like everybody's on, everybody's on board with, with what's going on here. When I got done yesterday and the guys came over and inspected the plane and made sure that the repair was up to standards and we didn't do anything wrong.
Uh, The one guy, I was like, dude, can we, can we just talk for a second? Like I know I'm going to get roasted when we put this out on the internet, that we glue pulled a plane. Uh, what makes this safe? What wouldn't be safe? So on and so forth. So the first thing is he said on this particular repair on the eponage, AKA tail section, uh, the first, the biggest [00:52:00] thing it sounded like here is, One, uh, it was not a deep dent.
I don't know what their requirements are, but they measured the depth and said that this is inside tolerances for the airplane. So it, so this kind of repair is a cosmetic repair. It's not any kind of structure. He said if it were, Outside of spec and dangerous, uh, they would have to get engineers and engineers involved and see what the right procedure was to get that.
This repair fell well outside of that, comfortably outside of that. Um, also on the tail section, the empennage that is outside of that, uh, Pressurized cabin, right, that we talked about earlier. So this part of the plane does not expand at altitude, right? It's an un pressurized spot. So technically, uh, they wouldn't have to make it perfect to fly the plane, [00:53:00] in fact, because it was in spec and this was a cosmetic repair, I said, well, what would you guys do if we couldn't fix this?
He said, well, we just wouldn't have fixed the dent. We would have just fixed the pain. We would have painted over the dents essentially, right? They brought us out to fix, to make a better cosmetic repair. That repair I did on the nose was, uh, it was in spec for what could be repaired. Uh, but on the nose of the plane, he said, those need to be.
Perfect or near perfect because the aerodynamics like the wind coming across the front of the plane, if that is incorrect or imperfect, it can mess with airspeed readings, uh, and can make problems during flight. Right? So we checked that. Um, also, uh, this repair, uh, will be noted. On the like log of that plane and every, I think it's a 300 hour inspection.
Every 300 hour inspection, they will actually come back to exactly where we worked and make sure [00:54:00] that, that nothing has changed, that all the rivets are still good, that there's no cracks forming or anything like that. Uh, and they really had no concerns with anything being compromised, but just know that, that A& P mechanic is going to come back and inspect this.
Thanks. Every time for the life of that plane, right? It is now logged as part of it. He did say if you're going to do these kind of repairs per FAA regulations, you need to have an A& P mechanic present with you in person while you do these repairs. So it was a really cool enlightening conversation. Not that I had concerns about it.
Like, I don't think these guys are going to do anything to jeopardize a plane over a dent. Um, but it was cool to know that like all the I's were dotted and the T's were crossed, uh, and it was a safe repair. It was, it was cool. Um, so don't roast me too bad in the, uh, comments because I've talked to the dude that gets paid [00:55:00] to make sure that stuff is safe, right?
Dylann Jaimes: Yeah. That was, that was really
Gene Fetty: an incredible repair. That was. It was a cool repair. Yeah. Like I'm no Bryce Kelly, but I did get to fix a jet. Now I got to fix two jets. So Bryce Kelly, how many jets did you fix? Probably like a caved in wing or something. Saved a million, million dollars.
Dylann Jaimes: I know he's just incredible.
Like it's insane. The stuff that he puts out.
Gene Fetty: He's nuts.
Dylann Jaimes: The we're not worthy.
Gene Fetty: Yeah. So that was our cool jet airplane repair of the week. Uh, and I thought you guys would appreciate it. It's, uh, we've got some footage that'll be going up on YouTube. I would imagine actually it'll probably end up on a bunch of our socials.
Uh, watch out for tattoo, right? Saying Deep plane boss. Deep plane Fantasy Island for you people who didn't grow up in the eighties.
Dylann Jaimes: Ah,
Gene Fetty: that's it. So let's talk about some events we got coming up first. Uh, we have a dense [00:56:00] for kids. It's coming up at, uh, Andy Patrick, Andy and Amanda Patrick's dent shop, Dapper Dent Repair in Dixon, Tennessee.
Shout out to Andy, one of the Ginger Bros. That's why I'm wearing the Ginger Bros shirt, because we're doing a little shout out for you. Um, so the details, it is Saturday, November 22nd. I believe it's 9am to 2pm, even though my note says 4.
Dylann Jaimes: Wait, I thought it was the 16th.
Gene Fetty: Well, nevermind. Yeah, it's the 16th.
I'm looking at the oops, reading ahead. That's a different event on the 22nd and that is nine to four.
Dylann Jaimes: Stay tuned,
Gene Fetty: stay tuned for like 60 more seconds. Anyways, let's go back to Andy's Andy and Amanda's dents for kids and at depth at dapper dental repair in Dixon, Tennessee, uh, Saturday, November 16th, 9 00 AM to 2 PM.
Uh, they [00:57:00] generally get a food truck there so you can come out and have some food and have a good time for a good cause. Uh, here's how it works. Show up. Let them know you're coming. Uh, but show up. Uh, every 25 worth of toy donation, bring your receipts. Or cash donations, uh, gets you a ticket to the, uh, raffle.
And man, Andy and Amanda do an awesome job of reaching out to the tool suppliers. The tool suppliers are super generous, uh, and there's always a ton of really cool prizes, uh, that you get a chance at for, for bringing stuff to the, uh, to the event. So always a great time if you want to send Andy money directly for the event, whether you can come or not.
His Venmo is at capital a little N D Y P 1980. So at Andy P [00:58:00] 1980 is his Venmo. Um, you can make donations to his dents for kids. Uh, event right there. Uh, the cash will go to the help center to help families in need around the holiday season down around Dixon. And I can't remember, and he didn't send it over who the toy donations go to, but obviously the toy donations are going to families in need of toys to give their kids a great Christmas.
We've gone the last two or three years in a row. It is a great time with absolutely wonderful people. Go check it out. If you need to DM Andy and you're not friends with Andy, the ginger bros dent show podcast is public on Facebook. And I think Instagram, you certainly can get a hold of Andy and D Hammond that way.
And Dylann had another question.
Dylann Jaimes: I just wanted to make a little comment about like toy donations. Um, a lot of people will go through their toys after the Christmas season because their kids get new [00:59:00] toys. If you go through your toys before the Christmas season or have your kids go through the toys their toys before the Christmas season That can also go towards I don't know if it's necessarily these donations But a lot of local donation centers will take gently used toys.
Oh, that's cool. So go through your toys before christmas Cause then you can give it to kids in need.
Gene Fetty: Oh, that's nice. Uh, I think these are only new unopened ones, but gently use toys. That is cool. Uh, and find a local, like I would imagine Goodwill or somebody would, Oh, absolutely like that. So yeah. Purge those toys.
Dylann Jaimes: Yeah,
