[dramatic music]
I'm generally concerned with what's going on in this truck.
NARRATOR: Dave and Tony battle it out--
I feel like I'm [bleep] eight years old over here,
driving a [bleep] big-wheeler.
NARRATOR: --while the Canadian drivers fight just to survive.
Yee-haw!
NARRATOR: And on the Dalton, New York attitude--
Look at this four wheeler, just cut me off like that.
NARRATOR: --heats up the ice.
I'm going to give him a piece of my mind, like, right now.
[theme music]
NARRATOR: Deep in the heart of the Canadian wilderness--
[ominous music]
Come on, come on, come on, come on.
Up here, we got a big hole.
A hole, and a bump, and a hill.
NARRATOR: --30-year veteran Alex Debogorski
is 200 miles into his first run on the winter roads.
He's hauling groceries to the isolated community
of Red Sucker Lake.
Oopsie daisie, over we go, and around and about.
How much fun do you want?
More fun than I think I can handle here.
I love my job!
[dramatic music]
[music continues]
See what's going on here, now.
What's this?
This is a-- some overflow.
NARRATOR: A nearby river has breached its banks,
flooding across the ice road.
I'm just going to have to decide whether I'm
going to attempt to cross it.
[ominous music]
This one here don't look too good.
[water splashing]
NARRATOR: There is no telling exactly how deep this water is.
Or if a 26-ton big rig can make it across.
But on a strange road hundreds of miles from civilization,
Alex has to make the call on his own.
Yeah.
This is a little bit dangerous.
This is as good a way-- this is what-- good a way as anything
to wreck stuff.
It's one of those things.
You'll either make it or not.
[ominous music]
Hang on to your underwear.
[ominous music]
I know we're doing good so far.
[dramatic music]
ALEX: Easy, easy.
[tense music]
ALEX: Come on, baby.
Come on, come on.
A little bit more.
Yeah.
Good.
[ominous music]
NARRATOR: Finally--
ALEX: We made it.
Happy day!
NARRATOR: --Alex reaches solid ground.
Rock and roll.
boogie woogie.
Well, there you go.
Some more excitement today.
Every day, never a boring day.
Next thing, we're going to get attacked
by a blasted herd of ice worms.
Or would it be a flock of ice worms?
NARRATOR: 3,000 miles Northwest in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska--
All right.
We ready?
NARRATOR: Dalton newcomer Dave Redmond has just completed
his first training run.
Hey!
Just touching base with you again here.
NARRATOR: After the thumbs down from Tony,
Dave won't be driving alone anytime soon.
I'd definitely like him take another trip.
I just don't feel, like, comfortable with his awareness
on the road yet.
Right turn. - I can't see.
I can't see nothing.
OK, bye.
I couldn't see a thing.
Yeah.
I just told him the whole awareness of yourself
on the road, you know, has got me concerned a little bit.
You have got to know where you're at, man.
And I'm not comfortable with that yet.
[dramatic music]
Watch getting on your brakes too hard here.
You can let it roll now.
All right.
Take it nice and slow through--
around this corner here.
Hit that shift.
Right.
Like I said, a lot of times I'll go even direct to--
Sixth, then fourth.
I'd go seven over to six direct.
And then, six direct to fourth direct.
OK.
That's what I would do if I were you.
Dude, get over!
You're in the middle of the road.
[horn honking]
NARRATOR: With over two decades behind the wheel,
Dave isn't used to being treated like a rookie.
You know, you're absolutely professional at this job.
I'm going to get you 1,000% credit there.
OK?
I know what I'm doing, man.
Now, let me finish.
I'm driving this truck.
You know what I've learned today?
TONY: What's that?
Absolutely [bleep] nothing.
All I have learned is how you do this [bleep] job.
You don't-- it ain't gonna work for me.
Why does it got to be your way?
I could say, I'm going to step out here and take a [bleep]..
This is how I'm going to do it.
And you're automatically on me.
That's not how we do things up here.
I bet you've said that 100 times since yesterday morning.
How do you think that makes me feel?
I know you got 25 years of driving experience.
You know how many guys I've heard
say that, and watched fricking either crash
or make it six months up here?
I'm here to help you.
And you need to realize that.
And you're taking offense to it.
I'm taking offense to you choking it down my throat.
And that's exactly what you're doing.
You're on my ass nonstop.
I mean, I can't even turn into a [bleep] parking lot without you
over there.
I feel like I'm [bleep] eight years old
over here, driving a [bleep] big wheeler.
Think your attitude might have something to do with it?
I have not had one [bleep] bit of [bleep] attitude with you.
TONY: That's the way I see it, so--
DAVE: Well, that's it.
Then, this is-- this is done.
TONY: I don't think it really is.
DAVE: It's done.
Because you just got to just spill and spill your guts.
And so I'm supposed to sit here and just shut up?
And not-- not let you know what I'm thinking?
Are you going to even let me say anything here, Mr. Attitude?
Every time that I said, dude, get over.
You're in the middle of the road.
Dude, get over. - I move over.
You're in the middle of the road.
But they're legitimate, man!
They're-- every time that I said these things, it's been legit.
All of them!
I'm not just sitting over here preaching.
I'm generally concerned with what's going on in this truck.
The attitude that I'm getting here--
you know, I don't think that I'm the only one that you're going
to have trouble with, man.
[dramatic music]
NARRATOR: Halfway back to Fairbanks--
TONY: There you go.
NARRATOR: --the truck stop at Coldfoot
offers a much needed break from the road and each other.
Pretty irritated.
Very irritated about the way the guy's--
he's disrespectful.
This guy is the biggest [bleep] on the planet,
badmouthing me.
We've got a lot of drivers looking for jobs.
You know?
We don't need somebody that's going to come up here and be
a hothead or a--
or a cowboy.
[dramatic music]
NARRATOR: Meanwhile, in the Canadian outback--
[ominous music]
Yee-haw!
It's gonna be a rough one.
NARRATOR: Hugh Rowland and Rick Yemm
are 500 miles into their first run on Canada's
notorious winter roads.
HUGH: Yeah.
Only the best drivers in the world
do these Canadian ice roads.
I mean, that's why they left all the boys and girls over there
on the Dalton.
They-- I don't think they can handle these Canadian ice
roads.
RICK [OVER CB]: That's a big 10-4.
NARRATOR: They're hauling emergency building supplies
across the 120 miles of frozen swamp land
to the native community of Oxford House.
[dramatic music]
For Rick, today is more than just the start of the season.
First load in on my birthday.
Happy birthday.
Let the money making begin.
[ominous music]
Well, this is it.
This is the first crossing right here.
So I mean, I'm just stopping to check the ice.
That's all I'm doing right now.
NARRATOR: With 30 years experience on the ice,
the Polar Bear knows trouble when he sees it.
The more pretty ice is, the more dangerous it is.
That's what we always said.
So if you got real nice looking ice and all pretty colors,
it's not very thick there. 'Cause the water's right
underneath it.
[ominous music]
There under the snow bank, it's-- it's probably only
a foot thick right now.
So this is safe.
Under that snow bank, it's not safe.
So stay out here in between the tree lines.
That's where we've got to drive today.
NARRATOR: The main path across the lake
is thick enough to support the trucks.
But closer to the banks, a layer of snow
acts as insulation, keeping the ice dangerously thin.
Yeah!
[ominous music]
Once it's passable, we start hauling.
We don't wait till it's perfect.
She's opened up.
So this is the first load of the season.
We'll see what happens.
[dramatic music]
We're on the ice!
NARRATOR: Deep in the Canadian wilderness, Hugh Rowland
and Rick Yemm hit the ice.
The start and the finish are the deadliest times
of the year.
Ice isn't up to full weight, so it's thin.
Never seen a stretch of the asphalt
open up and swallow someone and kill them.
We're only going about 50 mile an hour most of the time here.
[ominous music]
How you making out back there?
RICK [OVER CB]: I like this driving.
This is what it's all about.
This is the ice roads.
Ah.
You don't get tired behind the wheel here.
That's a fact.
You get on the real ice roads, there
ain't no such thing as getting tired and falling asleep.
You ain't got time.
[dramatic music]
Come on.
Ugh.
Come on, baby.
Come on, baby.
[ominous music]
I made her.
By god, I made her.
Ain't that [bleep] something, eh?
See the Dalton boys try that.
Come across open water.
[LAUGHS]
Oh, I knew these roads were going to be fun.
Let's make some money here.
Get some cash out of it.
Yee-haw!
[horn honking]
NARRATOR: 2,600 miles Northwest--
after making a name as an elite, big city trucker,
rookie Maya Sieber has come to Fairbanks
to test herself against some of the best truckers in the world.
I'm on my way to Carlile.
I'm really excited.
It feels like forever just to get to this point.
Well, I was a truck driver for about three years
from New York.
Look at this truck trying to go.
See, he's gotta make this tight turn.
And these cars just don't want to cooperate.
Go, driver.
Go!
And I worked my way up.
I mean, I had to work a lot harder than a lot of people.
It's driving me crazy!
[horn honking]
If I can conquer city driving, I have to do something else.
And that's coming up to Alaska and driving the ice roads.
Something dangerous and something
that takes a lot of skill.
Holy [bleep].
It's cold.
MAYA [VOICEOVER]: I'm taking a huge risk right now.
I mean, I left everything behind.
And I quit my job and left my family.
I left my apartment.
I left everything.
Hi, Phil?
NARRATOR: It'll be up to veteran trainer Phil Kromm
to find out if Maya's got the skills to take on the Dalton.
I suppose you're ready for a road test.
- I'm more than ready. - Good.
Good.
We're going to go out to a truck and trailer I already
have hooked up.
It's an empty flatbed.
NARRATOR: Maya's first test--
proving that she knows her way around a big rig.
Going to give Maya a road test today.
And if she doesn't measure up, then we're
going to send her back to New York City.
I didn't come 15 hours here and freeze my ass off just
to do driving around town.
I mean, I came up here to really live a challenge,
and just experience the Dalton, and go all the way.
I mean, I could do this right where I came from.
I have been.
Well, whenever you're ready, we can go ahead and go.
What we'll do is take a left out of the yard.
Just drive.
Just do your thing.
[music playing]
PHIL: We'll take a right at the stop sign.
Gotcha.
You guys are crazy up here.
I'm from New York, but you guys are crazy.
We're the ones that are crazy?
You guys are crazy.
Because you guys got a powerful truck on ice.
NARRATOR: Maya settles in behind the wheel.
And it's not long before she feels right at home.
[horn honking]
Oh, my god.
Look at this four wheeler in front of me.
Just cut me off like that.
What in the hell?
This is not New York.
This is ridiculous.
I'm going to give him a piece of my mind, like, right now.
- You think that will work? - Yeah!
I'll tell him that they're number one right now.
That's how we do it in New York.
Yeah.
But here, people carry guns.
Really?
PHIL: Yeah!
Oh.
[silly music]
PHIL: I want you to turn into the yard here.
Right here?
PHIL: Mm-hmm.
NARRATOR: The road test is over quickly.
Now, it's up to Phil to decide whether Maya
moves to the next step and takes on the haul road.
You did do good.
A little nervous, and that's totally expected.
There's some things we can work on.
I'm going to recommend that they hire you
and start you in the training process on the haul road.
There'll be plenty of stuff to work on.
Awesome!
Thank you.
PHIL: You're welcome. - Great.
- Good to be working with you. - You, too.
See you soon.
Take care.
MAYA [VOICEOVER]: I never give up.
It doesn't matter how hard it gets.
Never.
I've never given up, and I never will.
I think people are going to be very surprised about what they
see when I take on that road.
Don't judge a book by its cover.
NARRATOR: 280 miles up the Dalton,
Lisa Kelly leads the pack with her second heavy load of pipe.
She's determined to be the top driver this season.
But in the dash for the cash, Lisa opts for a steady crawl.
I just drive safe and careful.
And I'm pretty much the grandma up there.
Just slow, steady.
The tortoise and not the hare.
NARRATOR: But just around the next bend--
[cb chatter]
What?
NARRATOR: --there's trouble.
There's somebody spun out.
I'm not sure if he's blocking the road.
I would love that.
NARRATOR: Knowing Lisa is closest to the scene,
dispatch sends her ahead to help.
Somebody's already spun out.
And I might have to go chain up and push this guy up the hill.
Get him unstuck so we can get by.
[dramatic music]
I am always happy to help somebody.
[dramatic music]
I wonder if he got-- nope. There he is.
I see him.
I think I see him.
That blinking light up there-- that might be him.
Here's our guy.
NARRATOR: She'll have to push the stranded truck out
of the ditch.
But with just a few feet of clearance--
You got a copy here, lowboy?
NARRATOR: --it'll take all of Lisa's skill to avoid sliding
off the road herself.
You ready for me to push on you?
[ominous music]
We're moving.
[ominous music]
I'm, like, right in the ditch here.
[dramatic music]
This is freaking me out.
He's heavy.
See, these lowboys are heavy.
We're both just like--
I can just feel it.
We're both just, like, battling it.
Trying to make this thing go.
[dramatic music]
NARRATOR: Finally--
[horn honking]
NARRATOR: --the 75,000 pound lowboy reaches the peak.
You are so welcome.
Let me know if you need it any more.
[music playing]
NARRATOR: And Lisa continues her steady pace on to Prudhoe Bay.
I knew that I was going to be working hard this year.
And I am really glad that I'm ready.
NARRATOR: 2,600 miles southeast in Northwest Manitoba--
These roads here, they're--
18 wheelers use them, but they're not
built for 18 wheelers.
They're-- they're rough as hell.
Hang on to your [bleep] ass coming through there, buddy.
[dramatic music]
NARRATOR: Hugh and Rick roll deeper
into the Canadian wilderness.
[dramatic music]
It's like four wheel driving in a big rig!
[LAUGHS]
[dramatic music]
RICK [OVER CB]: Ain't it something?
It's a rodeo.
[dramatic music]
[LAUGHS]
[loud bang]
Holy [bleep].
What the [bleep]?
NARRATOR: 540 miles up the Canadian winter roads--
Woo!
[loud bang]
Holy [bleep].
What the [bleep]?
[ominous music]
RICK [OVER CB]: I thought I seen something.
Yeah.
I heard a bang.
My tire there-- blew her up.
She's riding around on the rim, too.
I don't know.
I'll catch up to you and see what I can see here.
[ominous music]
Oh, yeah.
She's barely hanging on there.
I don't know if it just blew the tire or blew the rim and tire.
I don't know.
I can't see from here.
Maybe stop and take a look at that.
That's a big 10-4.
Got a flat tire, bent rim.
Well, the tire's OK.
It's just the rim [bleep] up.
I'd say.
A little bit.
NARRATOR: Hundreds of miles from civilization,
it can be days before Hugh gets help.
Think that could make it up the road?
Well, you can keep her all the way back to town, I think!
I got seven spares on there.
I'll just drive her up and drive her home.
[dramatic music]
RICK [OVER CB]: You going to be able to make it
through this season?
You are getting a little bit older.
Ha, ha, ha.
You're talking to the wrong hombre, buddy.
It's gonna take a lot more than that to slow Hughie down.
Back on the road again.
Yee-haw!
NARRATOR: While Hugh limps his way through the wilderness,
at the Carlile yard in Fairbanks,
rookie Maya Sieber has proven she can handle a big rig.
Hey.
There she is.
NARRATOR: Now, it's time to get her first look at the dangers
of the haul road.
Well, climb on in here.
And we'll getting going.
MAYA: It's cold.
Oh, my god.
PHIL: Well, you ready for this?
MAYA: I'm ready.
[ominous music]
It's unlike anything I've ever seen before.
It looks like the moon.
This road and mother nature can and will throw everything
at you.
You know, you have to be--
be ready for it.
[dramatic music]
NARRATOR: On the Dalton, there's a dead man for every mile.
And many a rookie has called it quits after their first trip
to Prudhoe Bay.
Whoa!
Big truck!
[ominous music]
PHIL: Yeah.
[SIGHS]
[ominous music]
You have to be thinking all the time, you know?
Like, we're getting ready to drop into the Roller Coaster.
And you've got to think about-- OK, what gear?
You gotta be thinking about if somebody has already
dropped in that we can't see.
NARRATOR: Hanging with the Dalton's opening miles
is one thing.
But for a rookie, facing down the notorious Roller Coaster
is a whole different ballgame.
Oh, my god.
You've got to be kidding me.
[LAUGHS] This is a roller coaster.
PHIL: Yeah.
[dramatic music]
This is scary.
A little bit of the--
Absolutely no way.
No way what?
This is not real.
No.
This is crazy.
You're going to have to learn how
to drive through this stuff.
I had no idea, like, how steep they really were.
[ominous music]
Holy [bleep].
Well, it should scare you a little bit.
But not too much.
That's unlike anything I've ever seen before.
NARRATOR: 75 miles ahead, the wind kicks up.
And the road disappears.
Oh, my gosh.
Northbound, driving down to Beaver Slide.
This is the Beaver Slide.
It's two miles down at 11%.
It's a little hard to see.
I mean, we can see.
We just can't see very far.
How do you even, like, see the side of the road?
Um, sometimes you can't see the side of the road.
That's crazy.
I see why you can't-- you gotta keep looking far ahead.
'Cause otherwise, I would want to go the direction the snow is
blowing.
[dramatic music]
That's, like, ghostly.
Is any of this [bleep] sinking in?
Oh, this [bleep] is sinking in big time!
NARRATOR: Halfway up the Dalton at the Coldfoot truck stop--
I just-- you know, like I said.
I'm not going to play the bashing game.
You know?
That happened a little bit last night.
NARRATOR: --trainer Tony Molesky is heading south.
But after last night's blow up with new driver Dave Redmond--
You're on my ass nonstop.
I mean, I can't even turn into a [bleep] parking lot without you
over there.
They're legitimate, man!
They're-- every time that I said these things, it's been legit.
All of them!
NARRATOR: --he's decided to lighten his load.
And that's not my job to--
to deal with that.
All right. We'll see you in a day or two.
All right.
[music playing]
NARRATOR: Dave's stranded in the middle of the Dalton
with no truck and no way to make a buck.
You know, he's-- he's pissed because I called him out.
[bleep] I mean, he's just got some serious issues.
But that's how some of these arrogant [bleep] are.
I did my part.
And, as far as I'm concerned, I'm done with--
[cb chatter]
--done with that.
Unless he can learn some respect,
he's really not welcome back in here.
Now, we're turning a two-day trip into a [bleep] week-long
event.
You know, I was warned.
I was warned before I ever met him.
You know, this is exactly how this guy's going to do you.
I've said my piece.
I'll pretty much just let Dave figure it out on his own
at this point.
He's either gonna make it, or he's not.
NARRATOR: Back in Canada, Hugh Rowland fights his way
into Oxford House--
[hugh laughing]
--on only 17 of his 18 wheels.
My tire's still on there.
I think she'll hang right in there.
I think I'm trying to make up a little time here.
And this load's suppose to be there this afternoon.
So I'm going a little faster than normal.
[dramatic music]
Yeah. A guy gets cooking on here.
Then, all of a sudden, that [inaudible]
jumps up in front of you.
And you bounce right through the roof.
RICK [OVER CB]: 10-4.
This is hauling.
This is bush road hauling.
Always said, I'm an off-road guy.
Don't like the highway.
Yeah.
I knew we'd have some fun on this one.
[dramatic music]
We made her, anyway.
I guess we go into town up here.
[light music]
Wow-- a stop sign.
Haven't seen one of those in a while.
[music continues]
There we go.
[LAUGHS]
NARRATOR: The building supplies may be shaken up,
but they've arrived just in time to rebuild
the home of the village elders that was damaged
by a busted water line.
They're very close to getting the elders back
to their community.
No longer misplaced, as Hugh would say.
My load's just about off here.
So when it's empty, I'm shutting them doors,
and I'm boogie-ing south.
It is my birthday today and stuff.
I guess I'm giving the gifts.
I give the gift to help put this place back together, so--
and the faster they can get this fixed, they can come home.
So there's load number one done.
I'm ready for number two.
[horn honking]
NARRATOR: While Hugh and Rick begin the long trek back
to Winnipeg, 2,600 miles Northwest--
Are you awake?
I'm awake.
I'll be more awake.
NARRATOR: --rookie Maya Sieber has made her way
to the north slope's icy roads.
Still can't let your guard down, even though there's
no hills to deal with.
[dramatic music]
There's been a lot of guys run off the road out here
and crashed their trucks.
That's when it happens.
Like, the closer you get somewhere,
you get a little more relaxed.
Like, oh, I'm almost there.
Exactly.
NARRATOR: Just 20 miles from Prudhoe Bay--
Oh, my god.
[ominous music]
MAYA: Holy [bleep].
Well, there's a pickup on its top, here in the ditch.
Yeah.
Nobody said anything about a rollover.
Well, you'd think somebody would have said something
about it being here.
Let me just make sure if everything's all right here.
[ominous music]
NARRATOR: Just south of Prudhoe Bay--
MAYA: Oh, my god.
NARRATOR: --Phil and Maya have pulled up to an accident.
Well, we better make sure nobody's in here.
Nobody said anything about this, so--
[ominous music]
Doesn't look like anybody's in there.
So it looks like an old crash.
But her-- not old.
But nobody said anything.
So any time you come across something like this without
anybody telling you it was there,
you want to stop and make sure nobody's--
nobody's needing any help.
[dramatic music]
That's what can happen out here.
[music playing]
I'm surprised nobody said anything about that.
NARRATOR: The driver of the overturned pickup
walked away unharmed.
But on the haul road, every trucker
knows that luck doesn't last forever.
First thing, really, to look for
is tracks in the snow of somebody walking out of there.
You gotta look inside just to make sure.
It reminds you how short life is and how fragile we
are as human beings, you know?
[music playing]
NARRATOR: Finally, the lights of Prudhoe Bay appear.
Dude, this is the coldest I've ever felt in my life.
It's not below 15.
There's no [bleep] way in hell.
PHIL: It's 15 below.
If we-- it was--
PHIL: Wind chill's about 50 below.
Oh!
That's why.
NARRATOR: And Maya's New York attitude has begun to thaw.
It's just nonstop.
You can never take your mind off the road at all.
It's a lot to--
to know what to do.
But I'm ready.
I'm ready.
It's damn cold, isn't it?
That's not even the word.
It's like-- it's vicious.
Yeah.
Well, welcome to Prudhoe Bay.
NARRATOR: Back on the Canadian ice roads,
Alex is grinding out the last leg of his 700-mile journey.
Oh.
This is one of the mine fields.
Yeah.
Rocks sticking through, trying to grab something.
Trying to grab something off the bottom of the truck
and grab a piece of the truck going by.
NARRATOR: But, there's still one major hazard in front of him.
[ominous music]
Well, we've just come on to Red Sucker Lake.
[ominous music]
So we're almost to our destination.
Take it easy going across here.
Because this lake hasn't come up to weight yet.
[ominous music]
Now, all the ice roads are pulling together.
They're not melting, so that's a good sign.
NARRATOR: After making it across the lake,
Alex pulls into the town of Red Sucker
and delivers his first load of the season.
Heading south tomorrow morning.
I'm tired.
Had lots of adventure.
Yeah, it's been an eventful day.
I'm glad to be here.
NARRATOR: The next morning, on the shores of the Arctic Ocean,
Lisa Kelly crosses the finish line with her second load
of the season.
Got it all here safely and intact.
And chains were good.
And everything was good.
I'm excited that things are going so well this year.
NARRATOR: Lisa's hustle has her at the front of the pack,
with Tony and her Canadian rivals on her heels with one
load apiece.
Hey, Lisa.
Hey, Phil.
- How are you? - Good.
How are you?
- Have you met Maya? - Hey, Maya.
- Hi, Lisa. - This is Lisa Kelly.
- How are you? - Good!
Nice to meet you. - Yeah, you too.
How was your trip?
It's a lot scarier.
It doesn't do justice seeing it in any other way
than you're, like, just seeing it--
- In person. - --yeah.
In person.
So I saw that-- a hill.
The first hill-- I was, like--
[GASPS] Holy gee-- - Whoa.
That's just the beginning.
I was, like, oh, my god!
You can't get bored of this road.
It's awesome. PHIL: Definitely not.
Nope.
PHIL: Well, let's hit the road.
Ready when you are.
Have a good day!
You, too!
That's my advice.
I'll see you on the road.
[both laughing]
NARRATOR: Back in Canada--
Hey!
[LAUGHS] Holy [bleep].
Slack Alice, is that you?
[LAUGHS]
Hey, you look familiar.
[horn honking]
What the heck are you doing here?
You lost, or-- boy, you're a long way from home.
I think you got taller!
[both laughing]
What the hell are you doing?
I'm working.
The parrot's here.
Rick-- he leased one of my trucks.
Your-- your son?
My-- yeah. [LAUGHS]
Have you told him that you're his dad yet?
I told him.
I told him I [bleep] a parrot when I was 12.
So now, I got two of you bastards to babysit up here.
[bleep] me.
[both laughing]
Well, I gotta get going.
I can't [bleep] around here all day.
Not sure.
I've known Hugh probably since roughly 1978.
1980 maybe? Don't let me see you there.
- OK. - Take care.
OK.
God bless you, even though you don't believe in him.
[bleep] you!
I may not get the most loads, but I always
get the best of Hugh.
You can tell by how much huffing and puffing he's
doing at the time.
