13:35 Megosaurus. Dude, I have always wanted to see this thing in action, but I think

13:38 to see this thing in action, but I think

13:38 to see this thing in action, but I think randomly seeing it on the side of the

13:39 randomly seeing it on the side of the

13:39 randomly seeing it on the side of the road is even better. Oh my gosh. The

13:42 road is even better. Oh my gosh. The

13:42 road is even better. Oh my gosh. The only way that it could get any better

13:43 only way that it could get any better

13:43 only way that it could get any better than this is if somebody popped out of

13:46 than this is if somebody popped out of

13:46 than this is if somebody popped out of Megazaurus right now and asked me if I

13:48 Megazaurus right now and asked me if I

13:48 Megazaurus right now and asked me if I wanted to go for a ride or if I could

13:50 wanted to go for a ride or if I could

13:50 wanted to go for a ride or if I could continue my road trip in this thing.

13:51 continue my road trip in this thing.

13:52 continue my road trip in this thing. Look at the size of that thing. Dude,

13:53 Look at the size of that thing. Dude,

13:53 Look at the size of that thing. Dude, look at this. It's literally built on a

13:55 look at this. It's literally built on a

13:56 look at this. It's literally built on a tank chassis or chassis as the fancy

14:03 Look at the missiles on the back. Why

14:03 Look at the missiles on the back. Why does it have missiles or rockets? Why

14:05 does it have missiles or rockets? Why

14:05 does it have missiles or rockets? Why not? Look at the giant caution symbol

14:07 not? Look at the giant caution symbol

14:07 not? Look at the giant caution symbol back here. Now, I don't think there's

14:08 back here. Now, I don't think there's

14:08 back here. Now, I don't think there's any way this thing is street legal,

14:10 any way this thing is street legal,

14:10 any way this thing is street legal, right? I don't think Megasaurus can just

14:12 right? I don't think Megasaurus can just

14:12 right? I don't think Megasaurus can just go cruising down the road like uh my Rav

14:15 go cruising down the road like uh my Rav

14:16 go cruising down the road like uh my Rav 4. It is clearly very specifically

14:18 4. It is clearly very specifically

14:32 right there. I have no idea how you see

14:32 right there. I have no idea how you see out of Megasaurus. I'm assuming this is

14:33 out of Megasaurus. I'm assuming this is

14:33 out of Megasaurus. I'm assuming this is some sort of mesh right here, cuz I can

14:35 some sort of mesh right here, cuz I can

14:35 some sort of mesh right here, cuz I can see through this part. Gosh, that is

14:38 see through this part. Gosh, that is

14:44 Actually, you know what? As I'm standing

14:44 Actually, you know what? As I'm standing here looking at this, I think there was

14:45 here looking at this, I think there was

14:45 here looking at this, I think there was an earlier version. I think there was a

14:47 an earlier version. I think there was a

14:47 an earlier version. I think there was a much bigger version actually in the

14:49 much bigger version actually in the

14:49 much bigger version actually in the late8s called Robosaurus. I think that's

14:52 late8s called Robosaurus. I think that's

14:52 late8s called Robosaurus. I think that's where Truckosaurus comes from. It was

14:54 where Truckosaurus comes from. It was

14:54 where Truckosaurus comes from. It was like massive, huge, way bigger. That's

14:56 like massive, huge, way bigger. That's

14:59 like the pointy back of the head that also ate cars and stuff. Pretty sure

15:00 also ate cars and stuff. Pretty sure

15:00 also ate cars and stuff. Pretty sure Megosaurus is like from the early '9s.

15:03 Megosaurus is like from the early '9s.

15:03 Megosaurus is like from the early '9s. So, a similar time period. And in my

15:05 So, a similar time period. And in my

15:05 So, a similar time period. And in my lifetime, this is the one that I always

15:09 it. that I'm like, "Oh man, I want to

15:09 it. that I'm like, "Oh man, I want to see Megosaurus." So, I think there were

15:11 see Megosaurus." So, I think there were

15:12 see Megosaurus." So, I think there were predecessors. And I said this yesterday

15:13 predecessors. And I said this yesterday

15:13 predecessors. And I said this yesterday when we were in Sacramento exploring

15:15 when we were in Sacramento exploring

15:15 when we were in Sacramento exploring that underground speak easy, but I want

15:17 that underground speak easy, but I want

15:18 that underground speak easy, but I want to release expletives of joy looking at
