torpedo in the ground like a spike for

00:21:24
◼

going sideways and they turn it on and
[TS]
00:21:27
◼

the thing like vibrates and starts to
[TS]
00:21:31
◼
►
travel through the earth and it's like a
[TS]
00:21:34
◼
►
it's like a mole on a robot mobile
[TS]
00:21:37
◼
►
pulling is little to behind him and he
[TS]
00:21:41
◼
►
heads off
[TS]
00:21:42
◼
►
he heads off under the yard he the
[TS]
00:21:44
◼
►
vibration causes him to move in any
[TS]
00:21:46
◼
►
direction that he can yeah right here
[TS]
00:21:48
◼
►
look forward to moving forward that's
[TS]
00:21:50
◼
►
that's a very clever primitive little
[TS]
00:21:53
◼
►
submarine rabbi was very interesting
[TS]
00:21:55
◼

he's he's going forward an end and then
[TS]
00:21:57
◼
►
when he gets to the other side you know
[TS]
00:21:59
◼
►
they kind of set him in motion and then
[TS]
00:22:01
◼
►
there's a guy on the other side has dug
[TS]
00:22:03
◼
►
a hole waiting for him to come out and
[TS]
00:22:05
◼
►
then it's it's a it's a perfectly sized
[TS]
00:22:07
◼
►
told to run a gas line through
[TS]
00:22:09
◼
►
so I was like wow this is cool said he
[TS]
00:22:12
◼
►
gets about halfway across the yard and
[TS]
00:22:13
◼
►
then it's like oh what happened he's not
[TS]
00:22:16
◼
►
he stopped moving and they tried to pull
[TS]
00:22:21
◼
►
it back and they couldn't get him back
[TS]
00:22:22
◼
►
they tried to go forward he wouldn't go
[TS]
00:22:25
◼

forward and I was like oh god damn thats
[TS]
00:22:27
◼
►
this is exactly what I didn't want to
[TS]
00:22:30
◼
►
have happen and so all of a sudden they
[TS]
00:22:32
◼
►
go into emergency mode and it seemed
[TS]
00:22:35
◼
►
like primarily because they really love
[TS]
00:22:38
◼
►
their little mole and they didn't want
[TS]
00:22:39
◼
►
to lose him but they could tell by how
[TS]
00:22:41
◼
►
much line had gone out like how far he
[TS]
00:22:43
◼
►
was probably knew where he was and they
[TS]
00:22:45
◼
►
were they were super worried about the
[TS]
00:22:47
◼
►
mold all of a sudden it was just like
[TS]
00:22:49
◼
►
you know we gotta get the mole and it's
[TS]
00:22:52
◼
►
because I guess it's expensive but also
[TS]
00:22:54
◼
►
like you get attached
[TS]
00:22:56
◼
►
yeah they seemed like they felt like he
[TS]
00:22:58
◼
►
was their friend and so also therefore
[TS]
00:23:00
◼
►
guys from the city in those flat hard

◼
►
hats jumping in the center of my yard

what else is buried under here is there
[TS]
00:25:55
◼

maybe there are maybe it's a network of
[TS]
00:25:59
◼
►
tunnels
[TS]
00:26:00
◼
►
maybe its tunnels all the way to Hanoi
[TS]
00:26:03
◼

[TS]
00:26:07
◼
►
foreman goes over to their big truck
[TS]
00:26:09
◼
►
with the multitude of flashing lights

00:26:36
◼
►
is we're all standing around this whole

[TS]
00:27:10
◼

00:27:17
◼
►

00:27:22
◼
►

[TS]
00:27:24
◼
►
roots of a big tree that I was really
[TS]
00:27:27
◼
►
worried about there can be no I suffice
[TS]
00:27:30
◼
►
to say there is still an enormous scar
[TS]
00:27:33
◼
►
in my yard from this boulder dash God
[TS]
00:27:37
◼
►
and and you know what can i say but and
[TS]
00:27:43
◼

at and also i have the awareness that
[TS]
00:27:46
◼
►
there's a busa stern under the yard
[TS]
00:27:48
◼
►
which is not a thing that i can forget
[TS]
00:27:50
◼
►
you know like a I suppose there are some
[TS]
00:27:52
◼
►
people who can let let time sort of
[TS]
00:27:58
◼
►
fog that knowledge out but so they're
[TS]
00:28:01
◼
►
just like oh yeah my yard but I'm all
[TS]
00:28:03
◼
►
every time I walk across that I'm like
[TS]
00:28:04
◼
►
I'm standing right on top of it right
[TS]
00:28:07
◼
►
somebody else's pool would be if not
[TS]
00:28:08
◼
►
even mine people long-dead party problem
[TS]
00:28:13
◼
►
also is if you did install I said
[TS]
00:28:16
◼
►
network of tunnels even if you installed
[TS]
00:28:17
◼
►
one basic means of egress tunnel
[TS]
00:28:19
◼
►
speaking yeah I everybody could see it
[TS]
00:28:22
◼
►
you can actually cloak your yard which
[TS]
00:28:24
◼
►
would seem suspicious like as you want
[TS]
00:28:26
◼
►
to do that
[TS]
00:28:27
◼
►
well the way to do it is to is to begin
[TS]
00:28:29
◼
►
a capital project where you are doing a
[TS]
00:28:31
◼
►
lot of improvements all over the place
[TS]
00:28:33
◼
►
and the yard is it just a hustle-bustle
[TS]
00:28:35
◼
►
of of activity and one of those things
[TS]
00:28:39
◼
►
is you know one of those things involves
[TS]
00:28:42
◼
►
a backhoe and a large trench and it
[TS]
00:28:47
◼
►
could be super electrical it could
[TS]
00:28:49
◼
►
there's a lot of things could be could
[TS]
00:28:51
◼
►
be happening but people are you know
[TS]
00:28:53
◼
►
you're focusing their attention on the
[TS]
00:28:55
◼
►
fact that you're also replacing the roof
[TS]
00:28:58
◼
►
or building a windmill or whatever it is
[TS]
00:29:01
◼
►
mm isn't it miss direction yeah exactly
[TS]
00:29:04
◼
►
mr. action and then you can view then
[TS]
00:29:05
◼
►
you can you finish off the the escape
[TS]
00:29:09
◼
►
trench and then just let people let
[TS]
00:29:12
◼
►
again let that fog of memory happened
[TS]
00:29:14
◼
►
because people are not expecting you to
[TS]
00:29:18
◼
►
be thinking that far in advance
[TS]
00:29:20
◼
►
now and that that's the tragedy is they
[TS]
00:29:22
◼
►
wouldn't even expect it seems to me
[TS]
00:29:24
◼
►
though if you could even get something
[TS]
00:29:25
◼
►
to get you from like you punch a code
[TS]
00:29:31
◼
►
into the washer dryer something moves
[TS]
00:29:33
◼
►
you go now and come out in the barn that
[TS]
00:29:35
◼
►
would still give you a nice head start
[TS]
00:29:37
◼
►
if you help so absolutely and that's you
[TS]
00:29:39
◼
►
know what things are not to give away
[TS]
00:29:40
◼
►
too much but that would be one direction
[TS]
00:29:43

any responsibility would have taken this
[TS]
00:45:51
◼

tree out a long time ago and so the
[TS]
00:45:56
◼
►
house was empty and I went over there
[TS]
00:45:59
◼

and I stood in their yard and I stared
[TS]
00:46:01
◼
►
at this fruit tree and I said I've had
[TS]
00:46:04
◼

enough and so the following morning at
[TS]
00:46:09
◼

the crack of dawn but most inconspicuous
[TS]
00:46:12
◼

time to run a chainsaw
[TS]
00:46:15
◼
►
I snuck over into their yard with my
[TS]
00:46:18
◼
►
trade chainsaw and I cut down the tree
[TS]
00:46:21
◼
►
in their yard in their yard
[TS]
00:46:24
◼
►
wow that's that's that's quite an act of
[TS]
00:46:27
◼

aggression job because it well the house
[TS]
00:46:28
◼

is empty and whoever it is that owns the

00:46:31
◼

house ok does not live in the house

[TS]
00:46:36
◼

sign in the corner it's not for rent
[TS]
00:46:38
◼

anymore so the owner is divesting
[TS]
00:46:40
◼
►
himself of this property he hasn't been
[TS]
00:46:44
◼
►
there in years he should cut this tree
[TS]
00:46:45
◼
►
down years ago the new owners you know
[TS]
00:46:49
◼
►
I'm thinking this through as I'm
[TS]
00:46:50
◼
►
standing in their yard hands jammed in
[TS]
00:46:52
◼
►
my pockets staring at this tree the new
[TS]
00:46:54
◼
►
owners are gonna move in there not going
[TS]
00:46:56
◼
►
to do anything about the tree
[TS]
00:46:58
◼
►
they're going to assume that the trees
[TS]
00:47:00
◼
►
always been there that's a typical you
[TS]
00:47:02
◼
►
know you move into your house that you
[TS]
00:47:04
◼
►
normal people don't start cutting down
[TS]
00:47:06
◼

trees the day they move in and I said
[TS]
00:47:09
◼

nobody's gonna miss this tree there's
[TS]
00:47:12
◼
►
only one person who can deal with this
[TS]
00:47:15
◼
►
tree and it's me and so I went over and
[TS]
00:47:19
◼
►
I chain saw down this tree and i took
[TS]
00:47:22
◼
►
the i took the tree around into my yard
[TS]
00:47:26
◼
►
and I threw it in my swimming pool
[TS]
00:47:28
◼
►
well the the the the the great error i
[TS]
00:47:34
◼
►
made was that there was a second tree
[TS]
00:47:36
◼
►
that I also should have cut down and
[TS]
00:47:39
◼
►
after I cut down the the most offensive
[TS]
00:47:41
◼
►
tree then my brooding attention just
[TS]
00:47:45
◼
►
just who was it was only sated for about
[TS]
00:47:49
◼
►
a day and a half before i realized that
[TS]
00:47:51
◼
►
i should have cut down the other tree
[TS]
00:47:53
◼
►
and then the house sold and people were
[TS]
00:47:57
◼
►
hustling and bustling once the house
[TS]
00:47:59
◼
►
I no longer felt comfortable you know in
[TS]
00:48:02
◼
►
that period where the house was for sale
[TS]
00:48:04
◼

I felt like I'm cutting down this tree
[TS]
00:48:07
◼
►
it's not going to it's it all it's going
[TS]
00:48:09
◼
►
to do is increase the value of the house
[TS]
00:48:11
◼
►
the house is in limbo I'm not taking
[TS]
00:48:15
◼
►
anybody's tree i'm just taking a tree
[TS]
00:48:16
◼

from a guy who doesn't want it and the
[TS]
00:48:18
◼
►
next people aren't even going to know it
[TS]
00:48:19
◼
►
was there but once the house is sold
[TS]
00:48:22
◼
►
I felt like okay those new people have
[TS]
00:48:24
◼
►
bought a house that has this tree the
[TS]
00:48:27
◼
►
second tree for me to cut down that tree
[TS]
00:48:31
◼
►
now would be to actually be cutting down
[TS]
00:48:34
◼
►
a tree that belongs to finish the job
[TS]
00:48:35
◼

when you had a chance to show your silly
