I'm not going to lie. I didn't learn anything in this video that would be useful to me. That being said, I regret nothing! It was still really entertaining and informative... about performing repairs on a type of truck I don't own. 🤣
But if someone you know owns a Ford (I don’t freely admit that) and they through a piece of scrap metal through the rear glass then you know where to send them. Also applies to stinky oil spills in the backseat too.
@@atkinsondp I was just going to say that we watch him rebuild crappy cars that nobody else wants, including us 😂 Obviously we're all watching because Robert kicks ass.
I appreciate your commitment to a correct-looking repair. When I was a kid, my father smashed the back window out of his pickup in the process of chucking in a load of firewood, and his repair plan was to buy a piece of plexiglas at the hardware store, cut it to roughly the right shape freehand with a jigsaw, and glue it in with about 85 tubes of clear bathtub caulk. (For added value, that truck's rear window _did_ have a sliding panel, and he'd only broken that panel and the fixed piece on the driver's side, so the plexiglas only filled in where those two bits had been. The part on the passenger side was still the original glass. :)
Don't forget that not everyone has the luxury of being able to order replacement parts (and/or get them delivered). I lost the trunk cover for my hatchback, I found salvage places in the US that would sell me one for $20 if I could come over to pick it up, but here in Europe it would cost me over €200 (excluding shipping!) to get one. Not saying that applied to your dad, but sometimes a jank fix is still a fix, and keeping the wind out is more important than making an old truck look good
@@daylen577 I don't think finding a window for a 1980 Dodge pickup would have been that hard in 1985, I think my old man was just being a cheapskate. But I'm not saying being a cheapskate isn't a valid stance! :)
85 tubes of caulk Reminds me of some quote from Robert, i forgot the video but he had said something like he had used "all of the caulk in the observable universe"
When my father got his new truck, he gave the old one to my uncle, who used it to cut wood in the back forest. It took him less than a WEEK to do EXACTLY this. Threw some wood into the back, it bounced, and hit JUST the right spot, at JUST the right angle to completely shatter the back window completely.
"... which now smells like a baby duck after an oil spill." Hahahaa!! FYI- Liberal amount of alcohol in the dish soap when the seats were soaking would have helped a lot.
Look I would have just taken the whole thing and shut them in the washing machine and not just any washing machine no no my grandma's new glossy metallic candy blue Samsung Smart washer is a no-go... So off to the Chinese laundromat to blow up their drums.
I once broke the back window on my dad's old Tacoma when throwing firewood into the bed, so been there, done that. I also chipped my cousin's truck's back window throwing rocks into the bed. Maybe I should stop throwing things into trucks..
I once had a 5L bottle of oil leak in the boot of my car, it went absolutely everywhere and was dripping out the bottom of the car. Had to buy a complete new boot liner and parts from a breakers yard. On the plus side it has never rusted.....
A mate had a mk1 Ford Fiesta back in the day. It had a completely knackered rocker cover gasket and it dribbled oil down the end of the block and onto the back of a spinning pulley REALLY badly. Because he thought it would cost more than what the car was worth to fix it he just kept adding about a pint of oil every 50ish miles. I found out about it after he'd been doing this for over 6 months ! It only took me a couple of hours (and a gasket kit that was less than the cost of the oil he'd used for his previous 100 or so miles of driving) to fix. He kept that car for about another 6 or 7 years, and in that time I welded several patches along the left hand side of it, but all the splattered oil had stopped the right hand side floor's rust dead in it's tracks.
My dad has a story, one of his friends had a truck on a construction site, they were running a couple chains to a dozer to pull it out because someone got it stick, it lost the hook and it came flying back and decapitated the truck driver. So a few lessons learned, one, do t be dumb and have something to protect the rear window and your head if your doing that, and have something to help catch it like a pulley it runs through so if it snaps it comes flying back and catches on the pulley and parts flying from it if any get caught on the headache rack.

We naturally ignore "background" smells, probably because it makes new scents easier to detect. Therefore, do NOT trust your own nose to see if that smell is gone. You need a second opinion.
I've spilled new and used diff oil, antifreeze, chainsaw bar oil, engine oil among other oils. I've grown use to the smell but on sunny warm days I've got to leave the windows open or the smell would knock you out 😂
Auto glass is one of those things that every time I think about doing it myself, and I price the parts, it turns out the pros are usually the same price or cheaper! The glass usually costs as much as they charge for the glass AND the install! I just had a windshield done the other day for $150 out the door!
Replaced windshield in my 2005 Mercury Montego back in 2015 for about that much or less. I was surprised. In and out of the shop in about 35 minutes tops.

I dont have a car, infact i dont own anything able to transport me around at all. I have no clue about cars or similar either, dont really need the infomation at all. But the things you say while doing stuff is entire reason i watch your video's for years :)
Stumbled onto this because I have that same F150. Really hoping I never have to go through this, but I'm glad you did for me. Absolutely love going through the backlog of videos on the more obscure cars you own. Your wit, mechanical skill, and perseverance in the face of engineered annoyances are delightful. Thank you!
I love your self deprecating humor mixed with your real world descriptive analogies, like "smells like a baby duck after an oil spill". It's pretty good comedy. I loved the dog poop segment too. keep it coming.
Great video! The content doesn't always have to be rare or different. I find it relaxing to watch people fix things. Whatever things need fixing. Just my two cents. Keep it up!
If Mr. Aging Wheels uses this solution for cleaning his clothes... Maybe there is a reason people in an enclosed space (like a car) with him smell something funny...
Not sure how many times others have said this, but you're actually safer with no gloves at all when working with acetone than with those nitrile ones. It will penetrate right through the glove and have more contact time with your skin since it can't gas off as easily as it would barehanded. Neoprene or latex are a much better choice in the future. It might not be a bad idea to print off a glove chemical resistance chart for the garage so you can know what to wear when.
I use a few bungee straps on the front hooks of my bed across it to keep stuff from flying forward, I've had a lot on it and ones going to the back hooks to keep an old dishwasher back.

If you ever have to do another set of seat covers. First hit up a farm supply for the new hog rings. And spray glue the foam and put a layer of cling wrap on them. It makes the covers slide on like butter.
Love your videos, Love your humor, and your editing. I like that you include your errors in your videos. They're a way to help people learn what not to do, or how to do it right...albeit at your expense. You have a good humor about them when they do happen to. Please keep up the great work.
I really like your sound montages, when you have a lot of screwing or hammering to do and arrange the video clips so that there is a beat or even some melody. Love the attention to detail!
You used this truck to trailer the famous crispy Ferrari from TH-camr to TH-camr... I swear I just love the car community. All our favorite channels merge together so regularly and I love it!
The way that'll help you stretch that fabric again is spritz it with a little bit of water and then heat it as you stretch it over the bar and it will help you stretch it the fabric just a little bit more to get it over that bar without tearing something. I was taught this by an old upholsterer when I was redoing my truck.
I re-did the upholstery in my own truck using good quality medium-sized zip ties instead of hog rings. It's lasted 3 years now with no signs of fatigue or broken ties.
I appreciate the video, on my 2005 SuperCrew the back window is leaking and I've got to remove the seat and unbolt that window and I've never seen a thorough video on how to do it so thank you
Seeing him handling the glass-windows, reminds me on my youth. I was working in a small steel-construction shop, The boss had one or two guys "moon-lightning" for him. He had a friend (I'll call him Mike) who came often to the shop. This guy was a Car-Mechanic, with a license to own or operate his own shop, but worked for the High-Way repair shop as the Manager of the service crew. One day 1972 or 1973 a customer car was brought to this small shop by him that needed the front-window replaced. The Older folks may know that in those days, the rubber holding the window in place was first put on the glass, (if one thinks of the letter *H* one can get the idea, on the top came the glass on the bottom would be the sheet-metal of the car-frame. First one would put the top "H"-RUBBER on the glass, and the bottom one thin string, and crossing it at one place making sure it stays, then put the glass into the frame from the outside in the car. It was a Job needed at least 3 persons to do. And if anybody wants to know the make and model of the car: *Vauxhall Viva* good loking car at least for me... My Boss and another guy held the Window in place on the outside, while Mike was on the inside, pulling the string so that the H-rubber would slip over the sheet-metal and secure the window in place. Took only a few minutes (or so I thought) and the job was done. Mike went outside to take a look, and on the passenger side, on the bottom was the window not correct. Mike went around the passenger side, explained that the window *would just need a **_small_** tap* and then it fits. Standing besides the car, facing the rear, with his right hand, he hit the bottom corner of the window, and his had went right through it, shattering the window in the process. To this day, I can not forget the look on his face, as he was one guy who gave people the impression he is sooo great, and gave me all the time some stupid lines how dumb and stoopid I was, that he knows soo much and never makes any mistake. Yeah one guy over 40 years comparing himself to a 17 year teenager.... Sorry for the long story....
Impressive that you can take something as mundane as changing a window and washing a seat and make it interesting. I also find it cool how the seat covers are completely removable. I expected them to be stitched up and not clip-on/velcro dealies. This video also offered a lot of insight into why newer cars are so much less comfortable than older cars. The base of all these seats is just solid metal. Take apart an old car seat and all the framework (aside from the very outer edges) is entirely made up of nice springs.
Use an extractor on that carpet. Spray it with stain remover, scrub it in, and use a carpet extractor to clean it like the car detailers do. Heck, I do that on my car twice a year and I don't keep it that dirty or spill diff oil in the seats.
I used to put in these plastic and padding-covered interior panels into cars at the assembly line. They either went in perfectly smoothly or you had to futz around with the tabs endlessly to get them to allign properly. There was no inbetween.
After a truly aweful day this video was the first thing that really brightened my mood. Thanks for the great content and for always getting me motivated to do more.
On one trip back from the supermarket I had a loose trolley jack in the boot (Trunk) of my car that slam into my shopping bags while cornering. it punctured the sides of 4 cans in a 24 pack of larger, and they sprayed their contents EVERYWHERE in there ! It was soaked into the carpet, splattered up the plastic sides, the carpet on the back of the rear seats, and even got into the felt like material on the underside of the parcel shelf. A lot of it also ran underneath the false floor, got all over the spare wheel, and sloshed about enough to pretty much coat every bit of exposed metal under there. 4 cans may not sound much, but they were pint cans, so it's still around 2 litres of frothy fluid getting sprayed about ! Until I'd stripped out every piece of trim from the back of that car, JET WASHED it all, then scrubbed everything I couldn't remove, I'd see friends get in my car, then start sniffing the air, and look at me as if to gauge if I might be (As the smell indicated) pissed as a newt ! :D Even a couple years later, on hot days I'd still catch a faint smell of stale larger when getting into that car. :)
The loops are for the Upper LATCH buckle on a child seat. You run the strap through the loop, turn 90degrees to the middle, then connect the LATCH buckle on the middle.
Many years ago, due to my lazy habit of throwing stuff in the rear footwell after going to the parts store, I managed to spill a bottle of transmission oil over the rear carpet. After mopping up all I could it still stank so I removed the carpets. I eventually found that pressure washing it forced the oil out, my pressure washer had a tank which you put shampoo in so I put dish soap in it. After a small foam catastrophe I rinsed it off with clean water and most of the staining was gone. I think the pressure definitely helped.
Somehow, in a video where you replace your back window, you only said "window" around 12 times while managing to say "seat" over 40 times. Exactly why I watch your channel lmao
Well Rob I’ll always give you something Mate you have a real gift for making the most mundane job both interesting and entertaining. Great job loving your work. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I've always just pressure washed my seats without taking the covers off. It's closed cell foam, it dries out pretty well. I usually just put couple of fans blowing air on them and leave them dry overnight.
It's so weird watching a random Hoovie video, then watching a couple Wizard videos for the first time ever, then clicking on this and hearing references to both of them. I'm sure there's a fancy word for these coincidences. Took apart the seat in my Ford last month to add the massaging modules from a Lincoln. Turns out there's a LOT of really sharp metal inside. Thankfully didn't need to cut any hog rings like you did. Either way, I've heard quality (metal-tang) zipties work fine.
FYI, the guide pins for the headrest (the ones you hammered out) they are a one time use part. Also your suppose to use a screw driver and push in on the tab on them thats on one side and just slid them out.
For future reference; hog rings are available at any Agricultural supply store (hence the name HOG ring). I learned that when I had to replace the seat frame on my 85 Thunderbird.
I just had to clean my rear seats after a bottle of motor oil leaked into it and also used dish soap - twice - because the stain didn't seem to go away. Very annoying because you have to wait for it to dry in between washes to see if it actually worked. I only remembered you making a video about the same thing afterwards. Comforting to know that you had the same issue. I also just put them back in.

The difference is that your single cab seat tilts forward to access those anchors.
I always thought those loops were meant to secure cargo you put in the rear of the cab when you fold the rear seats up. That or a loose umbrella holder. :3
I was wondering if those were top anchors for car seats. Weird, the ones in my 02 Saturn are metal and much sturdier.
We should clarify, forward facing child safety seats. Those loops are still in use in a 2021 f250...it's a rather terrible design.

I love how the robin reliant heckles you whenever it's in shot. Has strong opinions on the smell of spilt oil in this video...
It's Reliant Robin. You just said something like Hilux Toyota. Sorry just a pet peeve. What you said was funny :)
@@ABrit-bt6ce Whoops. Yes, bit of dyslexia there.
I've spilled new and used diff oil, antifreeze, chainsaw bar oil, engine oil among other oils. I've grown use to the smell but on sunny warm days I've got to leave the windows open or the smell would knock you out 😂
Your time-crunching edit style is by far my favorite out of the dozen or so 'fixin stuff' channels that I watch, just want you to know that!
Auto glass is one of those things that every time I think about doing it myself, and I price the parts, it turns out the pros are usually the same price or cheaper! The glass usually costs as much as they charge for the glass AND the install! I just had a windshield done the other day for $150 out the door!
Replaced windshield in my 2005 Mercury Montego back in 2015 for about that much or less. I was surprised. In and out of the shop in about 35 minutes tops.
On the contrary, this was one of my favorite videos yet. I have never seen car repair that's so SATISFYING when you cut between every action
I learnt so much from this video ... thank you.
Things I learnt...
Dont smash a window...
Dont spill differential oil on the seats ....
Thank you ...
This just has to be my new best mechanic channel. Learning AND having a laugh is just pure gold🥸😎
Thanks for sharing this and definitely keep up the good work👌👍
I dont have a car, infact i dont own anything able to transport me around at all.
I have no clue about cars or similar either, dont really need the infomation at all.
But the things you say while doing stuff is entire reason i watch your video's for years :)
Stumbled onto this because I have that same F150. Really hoping I never have to go through this, but I'm glad you did for me. Absolutely love going through the backlog of videos on the more obscure cars you own. Your wit, mechanical skill, and perseverance in the face of engineered annoyances are delightful. Thank you!
I love your self deprecating humor mixed with your real world descriptive analogies, like "smells like a baby duck after an oil spill". It's pretty good comedy. I loved the dog poop segment too. keep it coming.
Great video! The content doesn't always have to be rare or different. I find it relaxing to watch people fix things. Whatever things need fixing. Just my two cents. Keep it up!
If only there was a machine for washing various pieces of cloth, like seat covers... And one did not need to use dish soap in a plastic bucket...
Then the wife is mad because that Machine smells like diff oil
If Mr. Aging Wheels uses this solution for cleaning his clothes... Maybe there is a reason people in an enclosed space (like a car) with him smell something funny...
Not sure how many times others have said this, but you're actually safer with no gloves at all when working with acetone than with those nitrile ones. It will penetrate right through the glove and have more contact time with your skin since it can't gas off as easily as it would barehanded. Neoprene or latex are a much better choice in the future. It might not be a bad idea to print off a glove chemical resistance chart for the garage so you can know what to wear when.
The loops are there for you to hold when youre standing on the bed. Bit of a design flaw that you need a shattered window for that.
This is one of my greatest fears when hauling a 4 wheeler in the bed of my truck
I use a few bungee straps on the front hooks of my bed across it to keep stuff from flying forward, I've had a lot on it and ones going to the back hooks to keep an old dishwasher back.
I found this a very soothing and relaxing video. Your hands probably think otherwise after battling with those seat covers :)
Dunn, your video looks good, won't you back that glass up
You'se a fine chicken raiser, won't you back that glass up
Call me Your subscriber when you back that glass up
Bob, who is you playin wit? Back that glass up

If you ever have to do another set of seat covers. First hit up a farm supply for the new hog rings. And spray glue the foam and put a layer of cling wrap on them. It makes the covers slide on like butter.
Love your videos, Love your humor, and your editing. I like that you include your errors in your videos. They're a way to help people learn what not to do, or how to do it right...albeit at your expense. You have a good humor about them when they do happen to. Please keep up the great work.
I admire the smiles throughout, what a job.
I really like your sound montages, when you have a lot of screwing or hammering to do and arrange the video clips so that there is a beat or even some melody. Love the attention to detail!
I too am covered with cat hair. I feel that sir, in my soul. Loving the content, keep up the good work!
This video is like the visual equivalent of ASMR, nothing better than watching someone do something that's satisfying
This is the kind of quality content I subscribed for 😂
You used this truck to trailer the famous crispy Ferrari from TH-camr to TH-camr... I swear I just love the car community. All our favorite channels merge together so regularly and I love it!
The way that'll help you stretch that fabric again is spritz it with a little bit of water and then heat it as you stretch it over the bar and it will help you stretch it the fabric just a little bit more to get it over that bar without tearing something. I was taught this by an old upholsterer when I was redoing my truck.
Most entertaining video to date! I stopped and watched the seat removal three times, keep up the good work!!!
I re-did the upholstery in my own truck using good quality medium-sized zip ties instead of hog rings. It's lasted 3 years now with no signs of fatigue or broken ties.
I appreciate the video, on my 2005 SuperCrew the back window is leaking and I've got to remove the seat and unbolt that window and I've never seen a thorough video on how to do it so thank you
Seeing him handling the glass-windows, reminds me on my youth.
I was working in a small steel-construction shop, The boss had one or two guys "moon-lightning" for him. He had a friend (I'll call him Mike) who came often to the shop. This guy was a Car-Mechanic, with a license to own or operate his own shop, but worked for the High-Way repair shop as the Manager of the service crew.
One day 1972 or 1973 a customer car was brought to this small shop by him that needed the front-window replaced. The Older folks may know that in those days, the rubber holding the window in place was first put on the glass, (if one thinks of the letter *H* one can get the idea, on the top came the glass on the bottom would be the sheet-metal of the car-frame. First one would put the top "H"-RUBBER on the glass, and the bottom one thin string, and crossing it at one place making sure it stays, then put the glass into the frame from the outside in the car. It was a Job needed at least 3 persons to do. And if anybody wants to know the make and model of the car: *Vauxhall Viva* good loking car at least for me...
My Boss and another guy held the Window in place on the outside, while Mike was on the inside, pulling the string so that the H-rubber would slip over the sheet-metal and secure the window in place. Took only a few minutes (or so I thought) and the job was done. Mike went outside to take a look, and on the passenger side, on the bottom was the window not correct. Mike went around the passenger side, explained that the window *would just need a **_small_** tap* and then it fits. Standing besides the car, facing the rear, with his right hand, he hit the bottom corner of the window, and his had went right through it, shattering the window in the process.
To this day, I can not forget the look on his face, as he was one guy who gave people the impression he is sooo great, and gave me all the time some stupid lines how dumb and stoopid I was, that he knows soo much and never makes any mistake. Yeah one guy over 40 years comparing himself to a 17 year teenager....
Sorry for the long story....
You did a VGG "heayeah---tsshh" when removing the seat and I appreciate it.
"I know this isn't the most interesting video." You kidding? This is the most entertaining car repair channel ever!
We need Smell-O-Vision so we can check the end result.
Impressive that you can take something as mundane as changing a window and washing a seat and make it interesting.
I also find it cool how the seat covers are completely removable. I expected them to be stitched up and not clip-on/velcro dealies.
This video also offered a lot of insight into why newer cars are so much less comfortable than older cars. The base of all these seats is just solid metal. Take apart an old car seat and all the framework (aside from the very outer edges) is entirely made up of nice springs.
I'm here for the humor! Any additional content is just a pleasant bonus!
Use an extractor on that carpet. Spray it with stain remover, scrub it in, and use a carpet extractor to clean it like the car detailers do. Heck, I do that on my car twice a year and I don't keep it that dirty or spill diff oil in the seats.
I used to put in these plastic and padding-covered interior panels into cars at the assembly line. They either went in perfectly smoothly or you had to futz around with the tabs endlessly to get them to allign properly. There was no inbetween.
After a truly aweful day this video was the first thing that really brightened my mood. Thanks for the great content and for always getting me motivated to do more.
Zip ties work fine, used them when I had to re-stitch my seat together. It's been fine for a couple years now.
On one trip back from the supermarket I had a loose trolley jack in the boot (Trunk) of my car that slam into my shopping bags while cornering. it punctured the sides of 4 cans in a 24 pack of larger, and they sprayed their contents EVERYWHERE in there ! It was soaked into the carpet, splattered up the plastic sides, the carpet on the back of the rear seats, and even got into the felt like material on the underside of the parcel shelf. A lot of it also ran underneath the false floor, got all over the spare wheel, and sloshed about enough to pretty much coat every bit of exposed metal under there.
4 cans may not sound much, but they were pint cans, so it's still around 2 litres of frothy fluid getting sprayed about !
Until I'd stripped out every piece of trim from the back of that car, JET WASHED it all, then scrubbed everything I couldn't remove, I'd see friends get in my car, then start sniffing the air, and look at me as if to gauge if I might be (As the smell indicated) pissed as a newt ! :D
Even a couple years later, on hot days I'd still catch a faint smell of stale larger when getting into that car. :)
I can’t believe how much I enjoyed watching you repair and clean your truck. 😂
The loops are for the Upper LATCH buckle on a child seat. You run the strap through the loop, turn 90degrees to the middle, then connect the LATCH buckle on the middle.
Many years ago, due to my lazy habit of throwing stuff in the rear footwell after going to the parts store, I managed to spill a bottle of transmission oil over the rear carpet. After mopping up all I could it still stank so I removed the carpets. I eventually found that pressure washing it forced the oil out, my pressure washer had a tank which you put shampoo in so I put dish soap in it. After a small foam catastrophe I rinsed it off with clean water and most of the staining was gone. I think the pressure definitely helped.
Man does thing competently. Nice work, Rob!
"It maden't a lick of difference". That's going to be part of my vocabulary forever.
"Smelling like a baby duck after an oil spill". With a whiff of acetone. Your rear passengers will be thrilled!
Great vid.
Somehow, in a video where you replace your back window, you only said "window" around 12 times while managing to say "seat" over 40 times.
Exactly why I watch your channel lmao
Well Rob I’ll always give you something Mate you have a real gift for making the most mundane job both interesting and entertaining. Great job loving your work. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
This is my favourite channel. I'm always watching out for new stuff from Aging Wheels. Can't wait for more content soon. 😄
I actually really liked this one. Was nice having a break from sponsored videos as well
I've always just pressure washed my seats without taking the covers off. It's closed cell foam, it dries out pretty well. I usually just put couple of fans blowing air on them and leave them dry overnight.
It's so weird watching a random Hoovie video, then watching a couple Wizard videos for the first time ever, then clicking on this and hearing references to both of them. I'm sure there's a fancy word for these coincidences.
Took apart the seat in my Ford last month to add the massaging modules from a Lincoln. Turns out there's a LOT of really sharp metal inside. Thankfully didn't need to cut any hog rings like you did. Either way, I've heard quality (metal-tang) zipties work fine.
Props to you for being willing to just completely disassemble stuff. Seems like every time I try to do that, I always break something beyond repair.
FYI, the guide pins for the headrest (the ones you hammered out) they are a one time use part. Also your suppose to use a screw driver and push in on the tab on them thats on one side and just slid them out.
For future reference; hog rings are available at any Agricultural supply store (hence the name HOG ring). I learned that when I had to replace the seat frame on my 85 Thunderbird.
Never change man, whatever you will make, I shall watch :D
I've used zip ties instead of hog rings when I added heated seat elements to a vehicle. Had no issues with it that way.
I just had to clean my rear seats after a bottle of motor oil leaked into it and also used dish soap - twice - because the stain didn't seem to go away. Very annoying because you have to wait for it to dry in between washes to see if it actually worked. I only remembered you making a video about the same thing afterwards. Comforting to know that you had the same issue.
I also just put them back in.
That really WAS fascinating. Loved every bit of it.
Those loops above the back or your rear seat are the old-school attachment points for the older child seats back in the day.
For reference, zip ties work super well. I reupholstered seats using zip ties. Zero issues whatsoever!
The acetone should be ok on the polyester carpet as would tetrachloroethylene. Where it might cause problems is if the carpet is acrylic.
Well Done , you are the only one that could make that content interesting. you are a genius. that's why I always watch whatever you put out .
"smells like a baby duck after and oil spill." 🤣🤣🤣🤣
