Scott and I are heading off to get some coffee and then typing in the GPS to head to Canada Line. You can't even see my face, it's so freaking dark. We are in Illinois, near Scott's house with the machine stuffed into the back of his CRV and just getting a little, you know, coffee to make sure we can get our asses there on this 9 hour trip one way. It might actually be longer. Thank you, bub. Here we go. Just rolled through Michigan. We are seven hours and 20 minutes away. Yeah. Yeah. yeah this is gonna be pretty fun i'm excited to see ed's face when he gets this first number one off the line Total Nuclear Annihilation i got to touch it Scott and I are just getting on 69 here. Music I can do it I can't do it. Alright folks, we are two hours away from the America-Canada border. And I think overall just four and a half hours, five hours away from Toronto. One hour and eighteen minutes away from the Canadian border. once we get there hopefully we get through fingers crossed knock on wood follow the above we got to get this machine there boys oh they were nice enough to let us through Thanks. We're about to pass over the bridge to Canada and hopefully they let us in. No sir I don't understand what the hell a kilometer is. So we just got over the border and they gave us a police escort over to a very special building here where they're going to disassemble Scott's car piece by piece and it's gonna be fantastic. Ed we're gonna get this game to you buddy. We got the thumbs up! Just a handful more hours until we get to Ed's place. See you soon we're in Canada now and everything says kilometers and apparently the car doesn't really convert that well so we have absolutely no idea how fast we're going so there's a button somewhere phone settings can you say hey Siri convert vehicle. Just a little under two hours away We're really a little tired. We made it to Toronto. My man. We're still about 15 minutes from our final destination, but so far so good. The machine's still intact. So are we. We haven't been arrested yet, so here we go. Thank you. _(Acquisition: youtube_groq_whisper, Enrichment: v3)_ --- *Exported from Journalist Tool on 2026-08-04 | Item ID: d613c618-4c85-4030-bdf1-dde6670a9774*
