Hi.Of course it's only about GPS.Thats why you have to wait for enaugh satelites and than it's setting your Home Point.Remember..You can change the Return to Home Point,wile flight:-) It does not matter what you put under the Drone.The landing Pad is just dust protection or taking of in rough Terrain.The Picture the Drone is taking,is just for the extra precison and not for the landing in general.
Good deal. Thanks so much for watching and for your explanation. I honestly have no idea how all this stuff works, but someone did and they have done a good job putting it all together, eh? God bless!
Exactly right. I was scrolling this vid and the last bottle cap one and I couldn’t for the life of me figure out what he was testing. I got the Mavic Pro 1 I early 2016 (from overseas, because they didn’t sell them in the states yet), and never had a landing pad, launched from random spots in the desert without identifiable artifacts around it.. always landed on the original launch spot purely based on GPS 👍🏼
As far as i know, the precision landing does take a picture of it's landing area, however, it uses the GPS location from the spot it took off from. I knew it would choose the bottle cap each time, because of the GPS lock from the launch location. But it was still entertaining and now I want a bottle cap
As you well know, my tests honestly mean nothing in the grand “scheme” of things. Matter of fact, they’re all “schemes” created by We’re the Roberts to get views. Hence the click bait titles and title wording. At least that’s what I’ve been told. Hahaha. Hey, when we go camping together, we can share a case of Mountain Dew and we’ll each take home 6 bottle caps. And Michael, you’re invited, too. lol actually Kristi may want some, too so we might as well bring 2 cases.
I did the same kind of test with my mini 3 pro if I manually took off it would miss the pad by a foot or 2. When I did the auto take off it would land on the pad every time!! You got me doing some testing now. Always enjoy your videos!!
lol I wonder why it’s such a difference. I guess precision landing is just a bonus and as long as it’s within a few feet or so it’s all good. Like with the Mini 2. But I do wonder how manual vs auto take off changes things so much. It’s above my knowledge. lol. Let us know how your tests work out, brother. Thanks for watching as always!
Another interesting video Kevin 😀 I too always thought that it took a picture.. and I still think it does. If it relied on GPS alone, then it wouldn’t need to hover for a few seconds before flying away. The GPS location would be the same on the ground. So I gather it uses both GPS and a photograph 😀 Thanks Steve
Great points for sure, Steve. I really don’t know how to explain it because it’s all above my head no question. lol. I’m just a blue collar guy who likes to play with drones and I have no idea how any of it works. Hahaha I’m just glad someone out there who is smarter than me was able to figure it out so I can have fun while wife shakes her head in disappointment at her decisions in life. Mainly one bad decision. lol
Heck yea! Thanks as always, Doug. Hope you guys are doing good and staying dry. Nothing but rain here her a month! lol. God bless to guys and have a great week, brother
I really have no clue how it all works but how else could it match the terrain without a picture? Someone said they get precision landing at night, too though so how’s it taking a picture in the dark and still maintaining precision landings? It’s confusing!!!! lol.
I have a mini 3 pro, that one doesn’t do precision landing. But the overall position holding seems better than my old Mavic. When the Mavic was landing it would correct the position at a height of about 5m. I guess the GPS technology in the Mavic was not so precise as in the newer drones and without precision landing it would be landing about 3m off. With precision landing it would always be on spot, but at startup I needed to go straight up so,it could take a good picture of the landing spot. It didn’t work on grass or a landing ground without detail.
Hahaha, yep, that's what I love about USB-C. It doesn't matter which way you plug it in. And I always try to put the battery in the charger the wrong way too.
Hahahahaa. We are all cut from the same cloth apparently. I seriously thought it was a Roberts thing. lol. Now I know it’s physics! Gary’s right, too. They should make all connection usb-c style from now on. Hahaha
Hey Kevin ! I've always thought the take off location is recorded ( basically ) by the drone gps and would return to the launch site. I've also found my dji Air2 and my Autel Evo both hit the pad when using the auto launch and RTH. Good stuff buddy ! Hope all is well.
Oh cool. Both of those drones have precision landing, right? The mini 4 pro is the first one we’ve had with precision landing and we’re usually happy with it being at least a few feet away. But it’s cool when it lands perfectly like it’s supposed to. It’s a novelty I reckon. lol.
I really think it uses GPS for precision landing which is a good thing because if something were to go wrong with the controller and you can't manage to bring it back manually at least it would land safely where it took off from. Another great video Kevin. Thanks and God bless.
Awesome. Thanks for the input, brother. I tend to believe you’re right after seeing these results. I’m glad the tests we do are in such a controlled environment and we can get perfect undisputed results every time. I’m surprised DJI hasn’t called us to help with their testing and evaluation phase of their future drones. Hahaha

lol I have no clue, man. I thought I did then I was told I didn’t so who knows? Either way, I’m glad someone smarter than me figured it out so we can fly these things. Hahaha
Hahaha, I've done that so many times, hit the power button instead of RTH. 😂 Great tests Kev. The only thing you left out was to have Dwight take off from the bottle cap with the landing pad a couple of feet away, and leave it there. Then see if he goes for the bottle cap or landing pad. I'll bet he goes for the bottle cap. BTW, yes, he does have eyes in the back of his head. 😉 And thanks again for all the shout outs! My channel has really taken off since then!
Hahaha. I probably hit the power button more often than the RTH button. Maybe I should put another piece of tape near that RTH button so help with the confusion. lol.
Alright brother, great video as always! Some precision landings again there, I was thinking if that tractor driver ran over your landing pad Dwight would never find it haha! I think it’s more the gps than the picture, I’m pretty sure that’s why you would have to hover so it locks in its gps co-ordinates , who knows though? Definitely returns to home well enough now though! Have a great week! 👏👏👏🙂👌
lol if the tractor ran over the landing pad we may have had to change to a TVMA rating. Some people may be able to handle the chaos. Hahaha. Thanks for watching as always, brother!
Hey Gary! No I’ve not had any problems with that and I’ve not seen any scuttle butt about it either. I take it that happened to you? Did DJI take care of it under warranty?
lol man I step in fire ants almost daily. It’s to the point they don’t even itch anymore. I think I’ve built up a tolerance over the years. Good point about the fresh mow though. Those suckers get angry!!! lol.
the logic for me is that it is precision landing as LONG AS the ground remains the same... so if it`s off on the way back for whatever reason.. the gps is the primary control and photo secondary fine tune control to land precisely ?>
That makes total sense and I can’t think of a single way to argue that you’re not dead on. All I can say is I’m glad someone smarter than me knows how all this stuff works and they figured out a way for even me to fly a drone. lol.
lol it’s part of a bicycle handlebar mounting system I got on Amazon a while back. I’ve yet to use it on the scooter, but it makes a heck of a kickstand for the controller. lol.
lol thanks for watching as always, Gary. We did a hand launch video with the Mini 2 quite a while ago and it was a lot of fun. Of course I almost got injured and Jack nearly crashed a couple times, but it was still a good one. Hahaha. I’m still trying to figure out the easiest way to catch the Mini 4 though. It’s a little different than the 2. Something about the 4 seems a bit more fragile than the 2 is. Who knows? I’ve caught Dwight a few times lately and it’s getting easier each time but he seems a bit more sensitive on the bottom sensor than rose and Jack.
All I can say is I’m glad someone smarter than me figured it all out so I can fit drones and have fun. lol I really could go either way on this but it’s leaning more towards the GPs angle with each test we do, eh? We have a phantom 4 pro that’s dead on every time (at least so far). It’s new to us so I’ve only flown it a couple times but so far it’s been perfect with landings. Our mini 2 drones on the other hand are questionable sometimes. Hahaha
Interest test Kevin. Maybe the landing pad was too close to the cap? What you do need to do is make sure you got everything in that front seat with you haha.. that way you wont be knocking stuff all over reaching into the back lol. Keep up the good work 😃
lol that landing pad in the back seat gave me fits. I just wonder how the heck it ended up between my forearms like that. Sneaky little thing I reckon. So, next week I’m gonna do another landing test. Hahahaha
Hahahaha. Thanks for that. Kristi may disagree at times but it’s really cool to know at least one other person understands my humor lol. Gary just likes to see me mess up so he can laugh at me. It’s ok though. Kristi says I make myself laugh more than anyone else though. She’s right!!! Hahaha
Hahahaha. Thanks for watching as always, Wayne. It’s always funny to see when someone else understands the Roberts humor. Definitely a dna trait. lol. Wait, are you a Roberts in disguise?
@@WeretheRoberts Whichever my wife lets me buy haha. A 3pro mini. I took James out today, we’re holidaying in Scotland. It did a lot of toilet bowling but had 24 satellites. I’ll post the vids on my channel right now…… I’ve not got the confidence to fly far yet.
Dude, that’s a great idea! I just jotted that down in the list of future tests. Heck yea! My bet is it’ll say area unsuitable for landing but I really have no idea what it would do. Great idea, brother!
lol thanks, Chris! Any luck on that Neo? I had it all set to buy the other day. All I had to do was hit “place order” but I handed the phone to wife so she could see how good of a deal it was. Somehow it disappeared and said “not in stock” when she gave the phone back to me. It’s still not in stock. lol.
Shortest video in months! Hey, that IS a treat! 😂. For a moment I thought you said the video would be 2 months LONG! That would ALSO be a treat. Or a trick. Or some damn thing! Anyway, roll 'em! 👀 👀 👀 👀 👀 👀 👀 👀 👀 👀 We're The Watchers Hey, remember when your channel was called "Were the Robert's and I would pop into comments, often. On the regular. Well, pretty much CONSTANTLY, and say: "You were?" - if so, what are you now - I never got tired of that. But I supect perhaps I was alone in my assessment of myself, until it got really annoying. Im not saying you changed it cause of my annoyingness, but I'm not NOT saying you didnt not unchange the change that I didn't get you to change. Or not. Or did. You know? Ahh. Good times. They were good times. Yes. Hello 👋 Robertses? Ok. I'll let myself out.
Dude your comments always crack me up. Worst part is I followed everything you said. And even the stuff you didn’t say but wanted to say and realized if you said it it wouldn’t never be unsaid. Anyway, marketplace is evil and Kristi banned me because I kept buying stuff. lol.
@@WeretheRoberts ahh! THAT kind of ban. I can only quote Emily Litella once again with "Oh, that's different then! For some mental incapacitation or other, I thought the Marketplace banned you! Like: your shopping privileges are now withdrawn. Dunno if you follow good old SpongeBob, but the evil character Plankton, an Amoeba with delusions of grandeur had wires or something on SpongeBob head, and offered this Straightman's greatest line ever: " Thats it! You just lost your brain privileges, bud! Which, if I can circle back, is worse than losing FB Marketplace Privileges, but just barely. It's been unreal, as usual! I can always count on you to actually follow me, not an easy feat!
1:08 in, what’s wrong with your toenail? I didn’t see anything. Get us closer next time! And I have another suggestion for a test: tape the bottle cap to Dwight, cut the landing pad into 4 sections, then place the four sections of the landing pad 2 feet apart with the bottle cap on the grass or ground in the center. Then close your eyes, count to ten, tap your flip flop heels together and say “Dwight, there’s no place like home, Dwight, there’s no place like home, Dwight, there’s no place like home” as you hold down on the Take Off button.
Hahahaha. Dude, trust me. You don’t wanna see. It’s a good thing then GoPro is set to 1080p. We may have lost some subs if they could zoom in on that thing. Hahahaha. I’ll make you a deal regarding your test idea. You send me the pad to it up and we’ll do it. Oh, and the red ruby slippers, too. Hahahaha.
@@WeretheRoberts I can send the pad (I have that exact same one) but unfortunately I don't have the red ruby slippers. I guess the deals off then huh??
Ummm, dear Kevin, Hitting, striking or threatening to so do (eg the 'off button') does not bring it back any faster. You might get a reaction akin to yelling at an errant pet/child; to 'come here!!". i.e. it disappears into the yonder aftermath of mysterious lostness. Please do Not attempt to digest; I jest jested. (very abserd ettempt et hoomor). Oh heck!, the grandma p'lice are after me agin; witha big knet. Sigh. I knew I should have had breakfast before now. 🙃😇😊🤠🙏🙏
Hahahaha. That power button is my nemesis. I have a bunch of nemesis if that’s possible. What’s the plural form of nemesis? Nemeses? Nemesisses? No idea. Do better Kevin!
I do not think they take a picture. No way. The work under GPS/GNSS. If we want to make our brain liquid, let’s make few question: where the drone save the photo? How does him review the photo and select the spot? If he mades a photo, why when you move the landing pad aside he lands at the same spot it took off? I’m going to take a beer to think about it, or not........
Hahaha. Yea man, you’ve got it dead on. The manual says it matches the terrain and I can’t figure out any other way for it to do that other than a picture. BUT, if it didn’t recognize the pad, that picture must be horrible! lol. It only makes sense it’s gps related only, right? They’ve come a long way with accuracy since that old show 24 with Jack Bauer, eh? Hahaha
It goes by GPS coordinates, plus visual recognition to help adjust at low altitude. I really have no idea why some folks fuss with precision landings, you should keep your hands on the controller ready to adjust your drone if needed. Plus, in my opinion, I find landing videos are just boring.
I’m still up in the air on how it all works because I’m not that smart. Haha I’m just glad someone else is smarter than I am and figured it out so we can all have fun flying these things. Precision landing is just a novelty anyway though. As long as it gets close I’m happy with it. But it is cool to watch it do what it’s supposed to. Boring? Ah come on. You know you enjoined it. Hahaha. Thanks for taking the time to comment, brother. God bless and we hope to see to on the next one.
What's the problem with you guys? Do you really believe that the drone "looks" where the pad is? It simply uses GPS. Nothing else. By the way: does it look down while starting. No. So: how should it identify anything.
Hahaha. There’s too many things wrong with us to name so I’ll let you use your imagination. Regarding the picture, I think most of the people who watch our channel regularly know we aren’t referring to the front camera taking a picture but rather with the sensors beneath the drone which are essentially cameras, also. It seems like the picture idea though has been debunked so I’ll agree it seems like it’s more gps/GNSS related. My only question is how does it “match the terrain” as it says in the manual without some sort of “picture”? Also, I’ve noticed pretty much every time the drone starts to descend, it’ll make some micro adjustments to fine tune the precision spot so maybe it is using the bottom sensor for that, too. It’s all above my head of course. I just fly the things and ask a bunch of questions. lol. Thanks for watching and commenting. We hope you have a great week. God bless! Kevin
It’s ok. I don’t believe you were subbed anyway. Otherwise you may have noticed the hat 3 years ago. Lol. You’re always welcome to come back though. God bless.
all of this is pointless . You should only use "return to home " in complete emergencies . To be a real drone pilot you should fly the drone manually . in a long one this will make you far better drone pilot instead of just being lazy ....
lol I’ve noticed you usually don’t have anything good to say about our videos but you continue watching. So I must thank you for your support and comments. Anyone who watches our channel regularly though, knows I’m admittedly not the best drone pilot out there and I’m pretty lazy but most of all we try to have fun. I hope that comes across as enjoying life is way more important than being perfect and having all the answers to life’s problems. Wouldn’t you agree? God bless and thanks again for watching.
@@WeretheRoberts it's the first time I've made a comment to you. so don't make a big deal of it. i'm simply pointing using return to home is pointless . it does not make you a real drone pilot . It has no reflection on your video .
The dukes of hazard was about two fun-loving Southern race car drivers who enjoyed defying authority. When the show was made, it was still socially acceptable to view the Confederate flag just as a symbol of “Southern heritage” and resistance to overweening authority, rather than racism and slavery. So it was natural for the “Dukes” to call their car “General Lee” and fly a “Rebel” flag on it. Wearing there hat is not a symbol of racism in the slightest. If you think a white guy wearing a certain hat is promoting racism you may in fact be racist yourself.
Thanks for taking care of our light work, brother. lol. Like you say, it’s a TV show I enjoyed as a kid and still do to this day. Nothing racist about a ‘69 Dodge Charger tearing up the back roads, eh?

@@WeretheRoberts Whichever my wife lets me buy haha. A 3pro mini.
I took James out today, we’re holidaying in Scotland. It did a lot of toilet bowling but had 24 satellites.
I’ll post the vids on my channel right now……
I’ve not got the confidence to fly far yet.
Wonder what would happen if you tried to land on a mirror to simulate landing on water 😊
Dude, that’s a great idea! I just jotted that down in the list of future tests. Heck yea! My bet is it’ll say area unsuitable for landing but I really have no idea what it would do. Great idea, brother!
🤣🙃😅 Great testing!!! Always enjoy your tests👍
😀🐝🐾🐈⬛🍻
lol thanks, Chris! Any luck on that Neo? I had it all set to buy the other day. All I had to do was hit “place order” but I handed the phone to wife so she could see how good of a deal it was. Somehow it disappeared and said “not in stock” when she gave the phone back to me. It’s still not in stock. lol.
Shortest video in months! Hey, that IS a treat! 😂. For a moment I thought you said the video would be 2 months LONG! That would ALSO be a treat. Or a trick. Or some damn thing! Anyway, roll 'em! 👀 👀 👀 👀 👀 👀 👀 👀 👀 👀 We're The Watchers
Hey, remember when your channel was called "Were the Robert's and I would pop into comments, often. On the regular. Well, pretty much CONSTANTLY, and say: "You were?" - if so, what are you now - I never got tired of that. But I supect perhaps I was alone in my assessment of myself, until it got really annoying. Im not saying you changed it cause of my annoyingness, but I'm not NOT saying you didnt not unchange the change that I didn't get you to change. Or not. Or did. You know? Ahh. Good times. They were good times. Yes. Hello 👋 Robertses? Ok. I'll let myself out.
How does one get banned from Facebook Marketplace? Musta been some egregious anti Facebook behavior.
Dude your comments always crack me up. Worst part is I followed everything you said. And even the stuff you didn’t say but wanted to say and realized if you said it it wouldn’t never be unsaid. Anyway, marketplace is evil and Kristi banned me because I kept buying stuff. lol.
@@WeretheRoberts ahh! THAT kind of ban. I can only quote Emily Litella once again with "Oh, that's different then! For some mental incapacitation or other, I thought the Marketplace banned you! Like: your shopping privileges are now withdrawn. Dunno if you follow good old SpongeBob, but the evil character Plankton, an Amoeba with delusions of grandeur had wires or something on SpongeBob head, and offered this Straightman's greatest line ever: " Thats it! You just lost your brain privileges, bud! Which, if I can circle back, is worse than losing FB Marketplace Privileges, but just barely. It's been unreal, as usual! I can always count on you to actually follow me, not an easy feat!
It’s purely the coordinates.. I fly a lot at night and get precise landings consistently..
Ahhhh see? That makes total sense. How could it be precise if it’s taking a picture of the dark? Awesome info, buddy. Thanks for that. God bless!!!
1:08 in, what’s wrong with your toenail? I didn’t see anything. Get us closer next time! And I have another suggestion for a test: tape the bottle cap to Dwight, cut the landing pad into 4 sections, then place the four sections of the landing pad 2 feet apart with the bottle cap on the grass or ground in the center. Then close your eyes, count to ten, tap your flip flop heels together and say “Dwight, there’s no place like home, Dwight, there’s no place like home, Dwight, there’s no place like home” as you hold down on the Take Off button.
Hahahaha. Dude, trust me. You don’t wanna see. It’s a good thing then GoPro is set to 1080p. We may have lost some subs if they could zoom in on that thing. Hahahaha. I’ll make you a deal regarding your test idea. You send me the pad to it up and we’ll do it. Oh, and the red ruby slippers, too. Hahahaha.
@@WeretheRoberts I can send the pad (I have that exact same one) but unfortunately I don't have the red ruby slippers. I guess the deals off then huh??
That was a good one Kevin. Like # 52!!!
Sweet! It may be time to move on to a new topic. Hahaha. Wait! There’s 1 more I gotta do! Lol
Cool video
Awesome! Thanks for wad hug and taking the time to comment, David. We really appreciate your support and kind words. God bless!
Ok Siri played a bad joke on me there. It’s supposed to say thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Now that’s funny!!! Lol
Can't trick Dwight I guess hahah
lol I think he’s way onto us by now. He must’ve sneaked into roses case and got some pointers or something.
Ummm, dear Kevin,
Hitting, striking or threatening to so do (eg the 'off button') does not bring it back any faster.
You might get a reaction akin to yelling at an errant pet/child; to 'come here!!".
i.e. it disappears into the yonder aftermath of mysterious lostness.
Please do Not attempt to digest; I jest jested. (very abserd ettempt et hoomor).
Oh heck!, the grandma p'lice are after me agin; witha big knet.
Sigh. I knew I should have had breakfast before now.
🙃😇😊🤠🙏🙏
Hahahaha. That power button is my nemesis. I have a bunch of nemesis if that’s possible. What’s the plural form of nemesis? Nemeses? Nemesisses? No idea. Do better Kevin!
@@WeretheRoberts nemesii ??
But not (sea) anemonies,
nah, nar, nananah.
🙃
I do not think they take a picture. No way. The work under GPS/GNSS. If we want to make our brain liquid, let’s make few question: where the drone save the photo? How does him review the photo and select the spot? If he mades a photo, why when you move the landing pad aside he lands at the same spot it took off? I’m going to take a beer to think about it, or not........
Hahaha. Yea man, you’ve got it dead on. The manual says it matches the terrain and I can’t figure out any other way for it to do that other than a picture. BUT, if it didn’t recognize the pad, that picture must be horrible! lol. It only makes sense it’s gps related only, right? They’ve come a long way with accuracy since that old show 24 with Jack Bauer, eh? Hahaha
It goes by GPS coordinates, plus visual recognition to help adjust at low altitude. I really have no idea why some folks fuss with precision landings, you should keep your hands on the controller ready to adjust your drone if needed. Plus, in my opinion, I find landing videos are just boring.
I’m still up in the air on how it all works because I’m not that smart. Haha I’m just glad someone else is smarter than I am and figured it out so we can all have fun flying these things. Precision landing is just a novelty anyway though. As long as it gets close I’m happy with it. But it is cool to watch it do what it’s supposed to. Boring? Ah come on. You know you enjoined it. Hahaha. Thanks for taking the time to comment, brother. God bless and we hope to see to on the next one.
What's the problem with you guys? Do you really believe that the drone "looks" where the pad is? It simply uses GPS. Nothing else. By the way: does it look down while starting. No. So: how should it identify anything.
Hahaha. There’s too many things wrong with us to name so I’ll let you use your imagination. Regarding the picture, I think most of the people who watch our channel regularly know we aren’t referring to the front camera taking a picture but rather with the sensors beneath the drone which are essentially cameras, also. It seems like the picture idea though has been debunked so I’ll agree it seems like it’s more gps/GNSS related. My only question is how does it “match the terrain” as it says in the manual without some sort of “picture”? Also, I’ve noticed pretty much every time the drone starts to descend, it’ll make some micro adjustments to fine tune the precision spot so maybe it is using the bottom sensor for that, too. It’s all above my head of course. I just fly the things and ask a bunch of questions. lol. Thanks for watching and commenting. We hope you have a great week. God bless! Kevin
Hey Kevin, are you and Kristi okay
Hey, Fred! Yea we’re good, man. Thanks for asking, brother. Hope you guys are well, also. God bless!
@@WeretheRoberts Good morning Kevin, are you and Kristi leaving your home because of the new storm coming?
No we’re gonna stay out. We oughta be good but I’m sure we’ll lose power as always. If we were near Tampa we would’ve already left. Hahaha.
Unsubscribe ing now
It’s ok. I don’t believe you were subbed anyway. Otherwise you may have noticed the hat 3 years ago. Lol. You’re always welcome to come back though. God bless.
all of this is pointless . You should only use "return to home " in complete emergencies . To be a real drone pilot you should fly the drone manually . in a long one this will make you far better drone pilot instead of just being lazy ....
lol I’ve noticed you usually don’t have anything good to say about our videos but you continue watching. So I must thank you for your support and comments. Anyone who watches our channel regularly though, knows I’m admittedly not the best drone pilot out there and I’m pretty lazy but most of all we try to have fun. I hope that comes across as enjoying life is way more important than being perfect and having all the answers to life’s problems. Wouldn’t you agree? God bless and thanks again for watching.
@@WeretheRoberts it's the first time I've made a comment to you. so don't make a big deal of it. i'm simply pointing using return to home is pointless . it does not make you a real drone pilot . It has no reflection on your video .
@@cheekyoscar1353 lol We definitely don’t take anything on here personally. It’s all for fun.
Is that the racist general lee hat.. not cool,..
The dukes of hazard was about two fun-loving Southern race car drivers who enjoyed defying authority. When the show was made, it was still socially acceptable to view the Confederate flag just as a symbol of “Southern heritage” and resistance to overweening authority, rather than racism and slavery. So it was natural for the “Dukes” to call their car “General Lee” and fly a “Rebel” flag on it. Wearing there hat is not a symbol of racism in the slightest. If you think a white guy wearing a certain hat is promoting racism you may in fact be racist yourself.
Thanks for taking care of our light work, brother. lol. Like you say, it’s a TV show I enjoyed as a kid and still do to this day. Nothing racist about a ‘69 Dodge Charger tearing up the back roads, eh?
@@WeretheRoberts no worries 😊
