レッスンを作成中...
1
Guys, as you know, I'm all about safety.
2
And the thing is, I started thinking about it.
3
I'm like, you know what?
4
We need something around here to up our safety ratings.
5
And I was scrolling through an auction site and I found this bad boy.
6
That's right.
7
I bought a 50,000 pound fire truck.
8
Only gave five grand for this bad boy.
9
And the thing is, right?
10
We do know that it runs.
11
We do know that it drives, but we don't know if the water cannons work.
12
We don't know if any of the other stuff works on it.
13
I'll tell you this though.
14
All you gotta do is figure out how to put water in it.
15
And we're fighting fires.
16
We're going to the fire station?
17
Yeah, we're going to go to the fire station so they'll fill it up for us.
18
Do you know how to fill it up?
19
Yeah.
20
We bought this from an airport down in the Gulf of Mexico.
21
I guess the Gulf of America now.
22
We went down there, hauled it home, and the guy told us absolutely nothing about it except for they put new batteries in it, and they're like, it's ready to go.
23
You know, they say the road's good.
24
Yeah, it does.
25
Except for the fuel you can put in.
26
Well, it's a fire truck.
27
If we catch this fire, we can put it out.
28
All right, let's go ask them to fill it up in the water.
29
Hey, can I bother you guys for something?
30
My fire truck's empty.
31
Wondering if you guys could fill it up.
32
Oh my god.
33
Oh, don't get jealous now.
34
Aw, hell, I want one of those.
35
Imagine how many times you're not gonna have to come to my property and put out fires now.
36
Thank you for doing that.
37
Oh.
38
Can we fill that up somewhere?
39
Probably gonna have to go downtown and get a meter.
40
And then you're probably gonna have to go to the water plant to pick the meter up.
41
Sounds like a lot of steps.
42
I was just thinking if you guys had a wrench.
43
Actually, could you all show us how to use it?
44
Dude, I like how much they all like it.
45
They look like they're having fun in there.
46
Dude, we should go steal one of theirs.
47
Guess we gotta go someplace else.
48
The problem is when you got the camera on, can't really do sketchy things.
49
Don't worry about what's gonna happen as soon as the camera turns off.
50
Just know right now the fire truck has no water in it
51
and later the fire truck is gonna have water in it.
52
Like right.
53
Guys, it's currently all the way full of water.
54
We got about 2,000 gallons of water on board, which means this thing is absolutely ready to put out some fires.
55
Oh no!
56
Don't touch the horn anymore.
57
I got excited, I'm sorry.
58
I don't know how to read that gauge.
59
Does that gauge seem full to you?
60
Yeah, I think that's the good to go message.
61
Good to go.
62
It's giving me Morse code.
63
It says, I'm so full of fuel right now.
64
So what we're gonna do is we're gonna drive this thing all the way to the ranch.
65
Now the ranch in a normal truck is about 30 minutes.
66
And this thing, I have a feeling it might be a bit longer.
67
This right here, this is for your up top water cannon, right?
68
So you hit that button right there and it will blow water as far as you want to blow water.
69
And this thing has two water cannons on the front of it.
70
I'd be so terrified if I was other people on the road right now.
71
I'm terrified that I'm in here.
72
Oh, we have to turn that light off.
73
It's a felony if we don't turn it off.
74
Alright, I'll pull over and figure it out.
75
I thought everybody was lying about the blinky light actually being blinky.
76
The blinky light is blinking.
77
Still on.
78
Still going.
79
Well guys, good news is, we've made it about 10 miles into our journey to the range.
80
The fire truck is working, if anything, too good.
81
I've flipped every switch, and I mean every switch inside of the truck, and it won't turn off.
82
I've got an idea.
83
This is the best idea I have.
84
It's even stretching over it.
85
Oh, God.
86
Don't worry, I put new socks on this one.
87
It smells like s*.
88
What?
89
Yeah, look at that.
90
Yeah.
91
If we go to jail, I'll only have one sock, but whatever.
92
Alright, guys.
93
Felony avoided.
94
I feel like that's pretty ingenious.
95
Yeah, good idea.
96
I don't want to alarm any of y'all, but we're only six miles away from the ranch now.
97
She's gonna make it!
98
Hold on, this might get bumpy.
99
Woohoo!
100
Oh, f!
101
I've driven down this in a regular truck, and I can't tell if this is better or worse.
102
I think it might be better.
103
Oh, f*, maybe not.
104
I don't think it's ever gonna translate on camera!
105
I'm a big man, and my ass just left the seat.
106
Made it, baby!
107
Here we go.
108
Wanna see how far this goes?
109
Ready?
110
This is a fantastic water truck!
111
Water truck is like way more expensive than what he spent on
112
that and we were needing a water truck to do some of the ground work around here at Horsepower Ranch.
113
We've actually found something really useful accidentally that we could use this truck for.
114
Are you You having fun with your big water truck?
115
See guys, you might be wondering why we need a fire truck, right?
116
Well the thing is, imagine we're standing here at the ranch and then for no reason whatsoever, a car burst into flames.
117
Oh sh!
118
See, that is dangerous, right?
119
You gotta watch out for that.
120
What would you do if you didn't have a fire truck?
121
But don't worry, Champlin Fire Department is here to save the day.
122
Don't worry, I'm coming to the rescue!
123
It won't start.
124
Oh, that's really on fire now.
125
Start.
126
Please start.
127
Uh, Weston, that's looking kinda bad.
128
I get it!
129
I get it!
130
Hold on!
131
Hold on!
132
Give me one second!
133
Ooh, parking brake.
134
Yes!
135
Champlin Fire Department's on the job!
136
Some stuff's happening.
137
Here we come, boys!
138
Oh, stop!
139
Stop!
140
Okay, maybe I hit that one a little too hard.
141
Hold on.
142
All right, let's hit him with the double.
143
and yeah there we go
144
yeah a Kimbo style double water jet yeah and guys just like
145
that champ when fire department has got the fire out in no time I hit the brakes
146
and the brakes This did not work very well.
147
Damn, I did good.
148
See how fast I responded?
149
I seen that you ran into the car before you were supposed to save.
150
No, I was responding fast.
151
That's what happened.
152
At that point, did you realize, man, I might have f*ed up?
153
Yeah.
154
I see more fire there.
155
Don't worry, Champlin Fire Department's on the scene.
156
And guys, just like that, you can put out a car fire.
157
And don't worry, here at the Horsepower Ranch, if we have a car fire, we're safe because we got this bad boy.
158
This thing was $5,000.
159
And for five grand, I can launch water 200 feet into there and put out car fires.
160
How could you turn that down?
161
Now, the problem is I need about a 10 times bigger tank because it has 2,000 gallons of water.
162
And I just went through 2,000 gallons of water to put that car out.
163
But besides that, we did good.
164
Guys, as you know, we're pretty rough on stuff around here.
165
We're rough on our cars.
166
We're rough on our tools.
167
We're rough on our shoes.
168
But thanks to today's sponsor, well, we've got one of those things handled.
169
Guys, Brunt Workwear decided to sponsor us.
170
And you know what?
171
I've actually wore these boots before they ever decided to come on as a partner of the channel for a long time.
172
And I love these things.
173
I'm a man of a very large stature.
174
For me, I roll over my shoes always to the outside.
175
So I'll wear this edge down really, really fast and the whole boot will turn over
176
and I'll have to get a new set of boots every three to four months.
177
I've had these bad boys last up to a year.
178
Now, that might not sound like a long time.
179
But for me, that's a pretty good amount of time.
180
And another thing is Brunt boots are made for trade workers.
181
I know a lot of you guys are mechanics, truck drivers, stuff like that.
182
And the thing is, Brunt has a bunch of different options depending on what you need for your line of work.
183
They got waterproof, composite toe, soft toe, cowboy boots, slip resistant.
184
And Brunt is so confident in their boots.
185
They're going to let you guys try them out at your job.
186
And if you don't like them, all you got to do is send them back.
187
So for those of you guys that are out there and your boots are falling apart, use my link down here and use code WESTIN10 to get $10 off your first purchase over $60 on Brunt.
188
Brunt, thank you for sponsoring today's video.
189
Let's get back to the episode.
190
So guys, here's the thing.
191
We've got to the ranch here, right?
192
And we've got our fire truck here.
193
Now, ignore the knocking noises coming from the back of it.
194
That just started, and we're not sure why.
195
But the good news is she blows water, and I've got the perfect way to test out the water cannons.
196
What happens if one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine barrels were stacked up and on fire together, right?
197
Could we put them out?
198
Well, there's only one way to find out.
199
I noticed you also have two of these.
200
Do you want to have a competition to see who can knock over their pile the fastest?
201
Yeah.
202
You wanna go first?
203
I don't even know how it works again, but sure.
204
Yeah, yeah, you'll go get in there You got it.
205
All right, okay.
206
You see that switch right there down there.
207
It says water What dude there's like literally 500 buttons in here right there in front of you
208
500 agent selector valve water or foam push it towards water what next it didn't kick in
209
All right wrap it up a little bit maybe Hmm I think I wrapped it down yeah By the way,
210
another problem with Weston's fire truck, we have brand new batteries in it, but it will not stay charged.
211
You have to jump it.
212
Okay, we'll be back momentarily.
213
Oh, maybe this needs to be tight.
214
Try it now.
215
I'm trying it.
216
Is it in neutral?
217
No. I think these new batteries we got are shit.
218
You know, have you ever considered maybe the batteries aren't the problem, but the truck might be?
219
Shut your mouth.
220
All right, listen, I don't talk shit about your G-Wagon.
221
My G-Wagon's over there running.
222
It's fine.
223
I actually think it might have ran out of diesel.
224
You know, it's a really, really good thing that we're not firefighters.
225
Well, you give us a day or two to get ready.
226
We'll be ready for the fire.
227
If it was like a pre-ordered fire, they're like, yeah, a day ahead of time, we would be the best firefighters ever.
228
But if it's an emergency, not the best, no. All right, try wrapping it up.
229
All right, flip the water off and then back on.
230
Should have a kick on that red light in the middle.
231
There you go.
232
There it goes.
233
All right, how do I fire it?
234
Did I do something?
235
Oh wait wait is it still going?
236
No, I hit the button again turn it off there.
237
It leaks a little.
238
Is the water supposed to come in here?
239
Yeah, it's a it's a water-cooled seat.
240
Is the thing waterproof?
241
Is what waterproof?
242
The fire truck?
243
I mean, I don't know.
244
I wasn't driving in the river.
245
What does this yellow thing do?
246
Oh, that runs the cannon on the front.
247
That cannon don't work as good as the one on the roof.
248
I still want to use it.
249
There's a handle by your right ass cheek.
250
Pull it forward.
251
Dude, it sounds like a machine gun from in here.
252
So are my barrels the one on the right or the left, do you think?
253
I'll take the one on the right.
254
What's the winner win?
255
Not having to eat a salad at lunch.
256
All right, we'll do that.
257
All right, start.
258
Go ahead. That feels great.
259
I can't tell if we knocked them over at all.
260
Oh, there's still this on there.
261
All right, that's the time.
262
How do I turn it off?
263
Over your shoulder push that thing back hit the no hit the red button hit the no hit the red button
264
Hit the red button now push that back behind you behind you push that back now No, the other thing the gold the gold thing yeah push that There you go.
265
It's good It's just got some it's got some quirks.
266
Oh, I forgot to stop this time One minute 14 one minute 1564 Timed it.
267
I don't know what to tell you.
268
You should have done it faster.
269
Why are you cheating?
270
I'm not cheating.
271
Add Zach!
272
I was also specifically disqualified because we told you to hit the left one.
273
Yeah, you knocked down mine.
274
You hit the right one.
275
No, I said I'm taking the ones to the right.
276
This is- Yeah, cuz they're closer.
277
Yeah, they are closer.
278
You can reposition when you go to do the other one.
279
Alright, fine.
280
Let me in there.
281
Let me see what I can do.
282
Guys, Garrett put down a very admirable time of 1 minute 15.
283
No way, it was way lower than 1 15.
284
No, I'm pretty sure it was 1 15.
285
All right, your time starts now.
286
Now?
287
Hey, what's my time?
288
You used a cannon.
289
What are you doing?
290
Oh, you're right.
291
I'm sorry.
292
I forgot.
293
Well, Weston's time was 20 seconds.
294
God damn it.
295
Disqualified.
296
He did not use the cannon all the way.
297
He knocked over most of them.
298
Just running them over.
299
All right, what was my time?
300
Are you serious?
301
I knocked over all your barrels too, by the way.
302
It was 20.63.
303
Damn, I'm good.
304
Well, you know, we had a competition.
305
The best man won.
306
Yeah, you're really a lot more skilled at barrel bowling.
307
Do you think there's else to this thing?
308
Could like, we use this to justify buying a 100,000 pound fire truck?
309
Oh yeah, I got multiple ways to justify it.
310
You know how much of a pain that ass it is to clean your RV?
311
Yeah, it's actually a massive pain in the ass.
312
It takes for all afternoon.
313
Not anymore.
314
So guys, here's the thing, right?
315
Obviously, this fire truck is very handy in multiple scenarios.
316
Fires?
317
Yes.
318
Knocking down barrels?
319
Yes.
320
But what happens, say, if you got your RV here and it's dirty and you need to clean it off real quick?
321
Yeah, that RV's not dirty, though.
322
Nah, it's...
323
Look, it's filthy.
324
Hold on.
325
Oh, .
326
Look how clean it's getting!
327
Oh, .
328
There goes the AC unit!
329
Clean the out of that one!
330
You just simulated a hurricane.
331
Ooh, I feel like I might have damaged the front window there, Garrett.
332
Well, at least we got insurance.
333
At this rate, you might as well clean the interior.
334
You want to open up the door?
335
Oh, don't worry.
336
I'll go around to the other side.
337
I only got one side done.
338
All right, guys.
339
Now, this is the best way there is to clean an RV.
340
Now on, and just a little thing there and...
341
Dude, it's like brand new.
342
I know.
343
So guys, here's the thing.
344
Kennedy is our assistant and she started work for us years ago, right?
345
And she's kind of more from an assistant to now she kind of handles everything that happens behind the scenes.
346
The reason why people's emails get responded to and all of the stuff
347
that we need to get done on a daily basis with business happens is because of Kennedy.
348
Merchandise, website, YouTube, schedules.
349
I mean, the list is literally endless.
350
So, guys, her CRVs wore out.
351
Got 250,000 miles.
352
Thing dies when she comes to a stoplight.
353
She needs a new car.
354
So we got her a new car.
355
Da-da-da!
356
Uhhhhhhhhh Now, as far as like fancy cars go, it's not a Ferrari
357
But she is brought up for like what maybe the last
358
two weeks how bad she wants to go get a new
359
car The other day she pulled up to talk to me
360
and her CRV died in the middle of the street And then she's like you know, I really think like the Mazda CX-5's those are nice cars Those are like really really good cars.
361
I've been looking at one of those.
362
So that's what we got her!
363
Look at this rig!
364
It's got 80,000 miles.
365
It's a 2017
366
or 2018 model Mazda CX-5 runs pretty good good drives pretty
367
good overall it's a very nice car it's way nicer than what she's got
368
and you know what she's been absolutely getting everything done
369
that we need to get done and handling
370

375
Hers was Sunday.
376
Hers- and it's not Tuesday.
377
I didn't say a single thing about her birthday.
378
Not a damn thing.
379
Well, you know what's funny?
380
She said something yesterday about like, I forgot her birthday.
381
And I'm like, well, maybe I got you a gift. Who knows?
382
Yeah, this is the problem, right?
383
Garrett is the worst surprise- What are you talking about?
384
I surprised you?
385
What'd you surprise me with?
386
Oh, the Can-Am.
387
Yeah, yeah, you did that.
388
God dang, are you ungrateful?
389
I'm not ungrateful!
390
Jump in.
391
Let's take it for a rip.
392
What is he swimming?
393
Screw to the tires.
394
I mean, this thing's nice.
395
The other thing about this test drive here is you want it to just be completely uneventful.
396
Don't want to be too fast.
397
Don't want it to break down.
398
Yeah, pretty uneventful.
399
This is an action movie now, guys.
400
Oh, they can't outrun them.
401
Okay, we got to put a turbo on this thing.
402
ASAP.
403
Hey, y'all want a drag race?

414
You know she's going to love this, right?
415
She's going to love this car.
416
I think we ought to pull it down to the warehouse.
417
Once it's in the warehouse, we'll show Parker.
418
Now we've got to figure out how to surprise Kennedy with it.
419
Also, on top of that, just to make sure this thing is dialed and ready, And we got some goodies to take and decorate a car.
420
So we got Pikachu.
421
She loves Pokemon.
422
Like, Kennedy absolutely loves Pokemon.
423
So we got Pikachu.
424
We got a Pokeball or whatever they're called.
425
Pink steering wheel cover.
426
Soft, furry seatbelt covers.
427
Here, hold that.
428
That's your color.
429
I like this.
430
Why is there a disco ball?
431
Anyway, we got all this stuff.
432
So we're going to go show Parker the car, see what he thinks of it.
433
And then while I'm doing that, do you want to decorate this, Batgirl?
434
What do you think behind this door?
435
I don't know, dude.
436
Parker doesn't know anything about the Secret Society.
437
You have to initiate him.
438
I was just writing emails and now I'm here.
439
Oh, no, no. Here, come here.
440
No. Her.
441
Yeah.
442
What?
443
Dude, she's going to freak out.
444
Yeah, I know.
445
Her car is falling apart.
446
Yeah, I know.
447
You know, the other day, we were up the street and she stopped.
448
And I think it died.

595
I do not even know how it changes.
596
You know, I just normally put it in the garage and...
597
You brought this thing?
598
That's a damn knock and sewing machine under there.
599

653
Get in, go for a drive.
654
Guys, Kennedy has done a fantastic job for all the years that she's worked for us and she 100% deserved it.
655
And more than anything, she's not going to break down
656
so I don't have to come get her on the side of the highway, which is good.
657
Man, this thing's nice.
658
It has leather seats, dude.
659
It's got leather seats.
660
I mean, for a Mazda, I think it's pretty much fully loaded.
661
There you go.
662
This is awesome.
663
I can't believe it.
664
Well, I was telling everybody in the video before you got
665
here how much work it is to make basically a television episode once a week.
666
A lot of a lot of calls a lot of ordering a lot of figuring out where things are scheduling
667
and so much stuff that goes into it
668
That nobody ever sees hopefully we're showing
669
that like they can appreciate a little bit
670
because yeah That's why we got 14 people here you help wrangle the whole mess together
671
and make it happen You're part of the reason why that every week people get to see these videos.
672
So happy birthday.
673
She's gonna love that thing I actually don't think it's hit her that it's actually hers.
674
Yeah I didn't think that thing was
675
that bad till I moved it right there And
676
so you can't even tell if it's in gear cuz it just shakes so bad Guys, Kennedy's done a fantastic job for us over the years, and she does a really, really good job for the company,
677
and she 100% deserves something like this.
678
There she goes.
679
She's got a new car.
680
Boom.
681
By the way, if a repo man comes after it, just park it in the garage.
682
Park it in the garage.

あなたのシャドーイングチャレンジ
英語の発音を良くするためには、シャドーイング（shadow speak）が効果的です。このビデオの会話を使って、次のタスクをやってみましょう。まず、ビデオを10秒ずつ再生し、その直後に同じ速さ・同じイントネーションで繰り返します。特に「I bought a 50,000 pound fire truck」「We went down there, hauled it home」などの長い文を重点的に練習してください。これを毎日10分続けると、IELTS スピーキング対策にもなり、自然な発音と流暢さが身につきます。
シャドーイングは、英語スピーキング練習の基本です。このビデオのようなリアルな会話を使うことで、日常的な表現を覚えながら、発音やリズムも磨くことができます。ぜひ挑戦してみてください！
シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
