What they say

Hide

Against my better judgment, I'm gonna cut this tree without uh um [laughter] without two saws. Let's see how stupid this goes. Told you it's got to lean. It's leaning this way. All right, I'm going to lay a stick down here. I'm going to try to drop it right dead on that stick. This is my stick and right there. That's the way I want that tree to fall.
