Transcripts
well we have a
problem you see it give you a better
view fog look at that H bird uh lots of
fog lots of fog for a few days now and
here's why it's an issue I live on an
island not that kind of Island an actual
island in the Pacific Ocean off the
coast of
Vancouver and the only way off the
island is by airplane or by a boat the
boat's very slow the fair is like two
and a bit hours so I book a float plane
or regular plane or whatever and in this
case it was a float plane and every
single flight has been canceled today
because of the fog they can't fly in the
fog they're VFR they just see where
they're going fair enough
so I'm not sure how we're getting off
the island today to make my flight to
the LA at 700 p.m. Vancouver to LAX
arrived at 11:30 p.m. it's
currently oh give me one sec 1:45 my
flight leaves in 45 minutes but it's
supposed to leave now it's not leaving
the fair is 2 and a half hours 2 hours
that won't work so we need to get really
creative here to get off this rock
that's part of commuting a master
commute for DDE so join me and see if we
can't get there because tomorrow's
moving day like we got to pack up the
whole shop I need to be there to meet
the realtor to figure out the new
building it's not I want to get to the
details of that because it's been going
back and forth for like 6 weeks as far
as like an offer was rejected on one
building and another building we have a
really good option I don't know right
now if you guys know what it is yet but
I'm going to assume you don't so I'm not
going to share it but it's not done yet
and we are moving tomorrow the movers
come to move into the new building and
we're not done there's a few steps in
the way including insurance and some
other Minor Details because it's a
subase but we'll get into that let's
just figure out how the hell we get off
this
island oh The Misery all right guys
here's the update I found an option well
there's two options number one or two
doesn't matter what order we do it in
momento Style there is a hella jet over
here where I can fly that leaves at 610
lands at 6:40 my flight boards at 710
it's a separate terminal and I have to
do customs and security it's kind of
risky so I found a new option which I
forgot existed which is called Hollow
hulo the signage for it great marketing
and it's a walk-on fairy it's brand new
I've never been on it before and we're
going to try it out today hopefully it
can go in the fog I can't imagine why it
wouldn't it goes down Time Vancouver
took a cab we'll be at the airport for
6:00 cool
cool there's
delay so now I have decide to just jump
on a helicopter cuz the helicopter
leaves at 6:10 guys my watch 6:10 if
this is late and this goes downtown and
there's traffic we might be might be in
uh barar situation here all right we're
boarding now but I just got notification
that my flight to La is now delayed 2
hours so in a way it's LA and it worked
out in a way it didn't so we have an
hour and 10 sailing to downtown probably
an hour cab ride and then we get to the
airport probably have 2 hours to spare
so we have some time to kill make some
Vancouver car spotting maybe go see
Uncle Raymond that
[Music]
pieces
there it
is so far pretty good so what's the uh
what's the big deal with all this what
are we doing up here what are we doing
up here yeah we're going to Vancouver
there's there's three there's three
classes there's economy premium and
business that's correct and you get more
space and it's not that expensive it's
like $20 more so I company credit card
so I opted for
it that's still the entire time now we
have to get to the airport and figure
out if our next plate is going to go or
not otherwise we're stuck in Vancouver
tonight this is the Olympic torches from
2010 downtown Vancouver anyways find an
Uber I made the flight now midnight it's
about 2 and 1 half hours delayed I
didn't filming is really
boring but uh I just got insurance in
the new building and the leas is signed
we move to
it came down to like literally the last
minute what we don't have
is a time to meet they change the keys
over and I'm told we may not be able to
move because of that but the movers come
tomorrow like we can't stop it I asked
Mike for to call the another day and
they said nope be there in the morning
so see look at the water gushing out the
back of the
Hummer I hit the happy modor hold on uh
we had a huge
rainstorm and it's full of water it's
insane
dude this
hard welcome home
boys how are you how's the drive not too
bad no traffic yet no not yet how's our
movers doing back at the shop right now
they're uh they almost have the truck
completely packed full so there's still
some stuff but I think it's stuff that
we can move pretty easily what's funny
is they have I know the games they play
we're going to get a that'll be a big
moving bill it cool to do 500 or it'll
be three grand it so it was like 750
bucks to start and then 200 something
per hour after that plus any equipment
that oh bro it's going to be a few
Grands yeah exactly all right uh we're
going to go in this gate okay all
right
first load officially here at the
HQ that's right the
new DDE HQ
30,000 square ft with about 50,000 ft on
the outside of the parking space and uh
we're not officially moved in yet we
have some paperwork to do but they're
let us do an early entry so we are
bringing
the cars I'm kind of speechless right
now saw some of the hoonigan stuff here
which is crazy we going to get that out
today
well the first trucks
arrived throttle back it's too loud
throttle
back got some race cars here oh yeah you
pumped dude it's surre I just can't
believe
like it's just the fact that this all
happened it's happening right now you
couldn't predict that this was going to
be available and that uh we would end up
here like it's just it's wild and this
is like and no this this place is like
when I say it is [ __ ] huge this is
less than the quarter of the building
we're in right now this is because our
entire old location like legit we can
create a whole racetrack out of the
building in the outside and we will huh
all right so the boys brought
us so a bunch of the cars obviously
aren't plated or registered to drivve on
the street and we're trying to beat rush
hour so that's why we asked them for a
bit of Early Access to start moving
Vehicles back and forth cuz it does burn
up a lot of time and then the actual
Furniture truck will be here probably an
hour with probably a massive bill look
at the bank angle of these planes they
come
in it's
wild oh [ __ ] we brought the McLaren and
the
[Laughter]
McCaron very first car the new official
DDE headquarters dude how sick is this
though it's insane so crazy [ __ ] that
old place dude this is like dude come on
we have this entire lot now there's
massive amounts of room inside the
building I get lost whenever I'm in
there I'm like which room am I in right
now everyone gets their own office
regardless if you need it or not
do you have Windows black spray Tim has
an office with the desk he's like what
do I do in here I don't know Tim just do
the
paperwork do your work dtim do your
homework so right now the boys is just
making sure that there's somewhat a
clean area the entire building needs a
deep clean so we thought we'll move
everything we have into this section for
now where the rest gets cleaned up and
then figure out where everything lives
in the meantime the boys was making sure
there's no obviously U nail screws or
anything that could puncture a tire also
just make it look good for you guys guys
damid also is a clean kind of person so
we like things
clean all right let's get going may
maybe let's keep that trailer hey if we
put that inside technically it belongs
to us like possession is 9/10 of the law
