"CB 024 AM" - Found Footage

I think this is my favourite thing I've ever randomly stumbled across on Youtube.

I think this is my favourite thing I've ever randomly stumbled across on Youtube. Don't ask me how I finally found my way to it or what the deal actually is with it but essentially what I've gathered is that it's an 80's buddy story (minus any sort of storyline) told in a few parts. The "stars" are a ragtag gang of sorts, all brought together by their CB radios and channel 024 AM which they communicated through. It's like The King Of Kensington meets The Beachcombers and I'm absolutely fascinated that these guys were rolling around our city over 20 years ago drinking boxed wine while hanging out in the parking lot of the boat launch in Vanier Park, gabbing over the iChat of the time: CB radios.

Note that a couple of the dudes swear like sailors, so don't watch if you don't want to hear any of that. I also can't promise that if you make it past the hurdle of vulgar language you're even going to like it at all; so far it's received a lukewarm response from everybody I've tested it on.

So you've been introduced in that first clip, now witness one of the gang (King Leo) shooting some form of a sawed off shotgun in the middle of the city. Whaaaaat?!
