00:15:50
◼
►
fire extinguishers that just like throw
[TS]
00:15:53
◼
►
a bunch of co2 on the fire and oh they

00:16:04
◼

happen what you got to have heat you got

00:16:06
◼
►
to have fuel and you got to have oxygen
[TS]
00:16:10
◼
►
you got a Robert of something and so
[TS]
00:16:12
◼
►
these new fire extinguishers they're
[TS]
00:16:14
◼
►
expensive mm-hmm which is funny because
[TS]
00:16:16
◼
►
it's not like co2 is expensive I'm on
[TS]
00:16:18
◼
►
Amazon right now but that's how they get
[TS]
00:16:20
◼
►
yeah oh my god I know you know and so
[TS]
00:16:26
◼
►
the co2 when you put out the fire it's
[TS]
00:16:30
◼
►
it's very benign right just like whereas
[TS]
00:16:34
◼
►
these old ones they're made with this
[TS]
00:16:36
◼
►
sort of silicate kind of like tiny micro
[TS]
00:16:44
◼
►
powder that's meant to go everywhere and
[TS]
00:16:48
◼
►
it's meant to it's a good tool yeah it's
[TS]
00:16:52
◼
►
meant to create this like oxygen-free
[TS]
00:16:54
◼
►
environment by virtue of filling it with
[TS]
00:16:57
◼
►
this kind of like yellow noxious silicon
[TS]
00:17:04
◼
►
powder that is like caustic right it's
[TS]
00:17:11
◼
►
like it
[TS]
00:17:12
◼
►
it burns paint it burns your lungs it
[TS]
00:17:17
◼
►
burns your eyes at
[TS]
00:17:18
◼
►
and I mean it is everywhere in the truck
[TS]
00:17:23
◼
►
if you go back to the very very farthest
[TS]
00:17:25
◼
►
back corner of the truck and lift up a
[TS]
00:17:27
◼
►
piece of paper it will be under the it's
[TS]
00:17:29
◼
►
just you know whatever it's a it's a
[TS]
00:17:32
◼
►
miracle substance but it also has done
[TS]
00:17:36
◼
►
at least as much damage as the fire and
[TS]
00:17:41
◼
►
if you I can't imagine doing it in your
[TS]
00:17:43
◼
►
house you would have to have a hazmat
[TS]
00:17:45
◼
►
team come in so whatever the cost of co2
[TS]
00:17:49
◼
►
fire extinguishers it's more than worth
[TS]
00:17:51
◼
►
it and here's the bummer
[TS]
00:17:53
◼
►
I had a co2 fire extinguisher that I
[TS]
00:17:56
◼
►
purchased for this very reason yes
[TS]
00:17:58
◼
►
because I'm driving a 40-year old truck
[TS]
00:18:00
◼
►
and it was in the truck and I had been
[TS]
00:18:05

in the world of environmental
[TS]
00:21:35

remediation you've got like a assessment

to work we had a little more credibility
[TS]
00:21:50
◼
►
in these kinds of things because we
[TS]
00:21:52
◼

[TS]
00:21:53
◼
►
nothing to gain by giving you a certain
[TS]
00:21:55
◼
►
price tag for fixing it up
[TS]
00:21:58

00:36:21
◼

it and if it is broke yeah baby don't
[TS]
00:36:25
◼

fix it because the risk assessment it's
[TS]
00:36:28
◼
►
a way of saying like they like me
[TS]
00:36:30
◼
►
famously with the the timing belt that I
[TS]
00:36:32
◼
►
didn't fix in time
[TS]
00:36:33
◼
►
Jerry been telling us for a long time he
[TS]
00:36:35

00:36:36
◼

but it's it's it's not gonna last a year
[TS]
00:36:40
◼
►
and it probably won't last six months
[TS]
00:36:42
◼
►
and when it breaks as my wife has
[TS]
00:36:44
◼
►
reminded me many times in the years
[TS]
00:36:45
◼
►
since when it breaks it's going to be
[TS]
00:36:47
◼
►
very very
[TS]
00:36:47
◼
►
costly and I was like yeah don't like
[TS]

◼
►

00:36:51
◼
►

[TS]
00:37:05
◼
►
when this breaks is it gonna be at a
[TS]
00:37:09
◼
►
time that is convenient to you or is
[TS]
00:37:12
◼
►
this gonna break at an inconvenient time

00:37:14
◼
►
how many times when you're in your car

00:37:27
◼
►
like five minutes later than already
[TS]

house probably right right situation

00:38:58
◼

differently when he actually did enlist
[TS]
00:38:59
◼
►
in the Navy yeah

◼
►
a way of knowing oh he was already in

01:10:17
◼
►
keeping the envelope closed in a certain
[TS]
01:10:18
◼

way I've got to say I probably open it

[TS]
01:10:39
◼
►
6040 spread but most of the time half
[TS]
01:10:41
◼
►
the people are on your team right there
[TS]
01:10:44
◼
►
the 50% that are like open it stop being
[TS]
01:10:47
◼
►
such a blur yeah and 50% are like yeah I
[TS]
01:10:50
◼
►
agree with you why don't you put it in
[TS]
01:10:51
◼
►
the frame and put it on the wall or you
[TS]
01:10:54
◼
►
know what you should do there are some
[TS]
01:10:55
◼
►
people that are like why don't you just
[TS]
01:10:56
◼
►
burn it but in this case when I put it
[TS]
01:10:59
◼
►
the Internet I the responses were about
[TS]
01:11:02
◼
►
92% openness I know and I was like
[TS]
01:11:06
◼
►
what's the matter with you people that
[TS]
01:11:08
◼
►
doesn't anybody like I mean like I get
[TS]
01:11:12
◼
►
why but like its how does one say it's
[TS]
01:11:18
◼
►
like let people have their deal you know
[TS]
01:11:23
◼
►
somebody lets somebody have their deal
[TS]
01:11:25
◼
►
maybe is there a chance that their deal
[TS]
01:11:27
◼
►
in some potential universe is more
[TS]
01:11:30
◼
►
important than your need for resolution
[TS]
01:11:32
◼
►
in entertainment well I you know as I as
[TS]
01:11:35
◼
►
I read all of these things and took them
[TS]
01:11:37
◼
►
together as a hive mind experience I
[TS]
01:11:40
◼
►
came to feel that most of the people
[TS]
01:11:43
◼
►
were not saying like I want you to open
[TS]
01:11:45
◼
►
it for my sake as a viewer they were
[TS]
01:11:48
◼
►
saying this is what you need close such
[TS]
01:11:52
◼
►
an important distinction is it is it
[TS]
01:11:54
◼
►
because they want it opened or because
[TS]
01:11:56
◼
►
they want you they think you'd be better
[TS]
01:11:58
◼
►
off in life having it open
[TS]
01:11:59
◼
►
my sense is that the people that listen
[TS]
01:12:01
◼
►
to this program are people that
[TS]
01:12:03
◼
►
genuinely care for the most part about
[TS]
01:12:05
◼
►
us all of the people that listen to this
[TS]
01:12:07
◼
►
program is kind of like sport hate or
[TS]
01:12:10
◼
►
whatever the ones that were just
[TS]
01:12:12
◼
►
listening to it out of I don't know what
[TS]
01:12:14
◼
►
those people have self-selected to go
[TS]
01:12:17
◼
►
away before I had a word yeah at some
[TS]
01:12:23
◼
►
point you said something or I said
[TS]
01:12:25
◼
►
something else where people were like
[TS]
01:12:26
◼
►
that's us ever again ever again and so
[TS]
01:12:29
◼
►
everybody else actually genuinely pretty
[TS]
01:12:31
◼
►
much cares and I think there is a
[TS]
01:12:33
◼
►
consensus that this diploma is us it is
[TS]
01:12:36
◼
►
finally a like an open door where people
[TS]
01:12:41
◼
►
can get just one foot inside and start
[TS]
01:12:45
◼
►
to like rattle my cage a little bit and
[TS]
01:12:47
◼
►
my psychiatrist whom I barely trust said
[TS]
01:12:52
◼
►
to me the other day
[TS]
01:12:54
◼
►
he's like why the only reason not to
[TS]
01:12:56
◼
►
open that thing because after you and I
[TS]
01:12:58
◼
►
talked about it I mentioned it to him as
[TS]
01:13:01
◼
►
a component of answering his question
[TS]
01:13:03
◼
►
are you happy are you happy I just have
[TS]
01:13:09
◼
►
to be a yes or no answer Yeah right
[TS]
01:13:11
◼
►
exactly like that no my answer is
[TS]
01:13:13
◼
►
I was like what is happy but he said the
[TS]
01:13:17
◼
►
only reason not to open the thing is to
[TS]
01:13:20
◼
►
somehow deprive yourself of any feeling
[TS]
01:13:23
◼
►
of accomplishment like what is it
[TS]
01:13:25
◼
►
what are you keeping it for you're
[TS]
01:13:27
◼
►
saving it for like a special day or are
[TS]
01:13:30
◼
►
you just like not able to that's really
[TS]
01:13:34
◼
►
that's an essentialist argument for
[TS]
01:13:36
◼
►
opening an envelope I think so too but
[TS]
01:13:38
◼
►
but I did definitely feel like there
[TS]
01:13:41
◼
►
were very few people who were like I I
[TS]
01:13:43
◼
►
cannot think of a single person online

well yeah but but I have their deal
[TS]
01:17:07
◼
►
that's all I'm saying there is a
[TS]
01:17:09
◼
►
reasonable version of this story which
[TS]
01:17:12
◼
►
is that this is a decision that I should
[TS]
01:17:14
◼
►
be deprived of can I let me give up

01:17:18
◼
►
nobody fucking asked me but I'm gonna

and you can tell me to go fuck off but
[TS]
01:17:25
◼

like my read on this is my read on this
[TS]
01:17:28
◼

is it's not actually that difficult to
[TS]
01:17:32
◼

guess what's in there right and if it
[TS]
01:17:35
◼
►
were that difficult for you
[TS]
01:17:38
◼
►
to guess what's in there you would tear
[TS]
01:17:40
◼
►
into it on some level I think the truth
[TS]
01:17:42
◼
►
is you know exactly what's in there and
[TS]
01:17:45
◼
►
when you feel like it you open it up and
[TS]
01:17:47
◼
►
you'll take out the thing that's in
[TS]
01:17:48
◼
►
there because you kind of know what it
[TS]
01:17:49
◼
►
is I don't think it's as mysterious as
[TS]
01:17:51
◼
►
everyone wants to make it
[TS]
01:17:52
◼

I think if John Roderick were really

[TS]
01:18:01
◼
►
some level well I imagine that so the
[TS]
01:18:05
◼
►
thing that I'm curious about is is it

◼
►
beautiful right and I think it probably
[TS]
01:18:10
◼
►
is but the but everything you have

[TS]
01:28:05
◼
►
narrative that life is about a series of
[TS]
01:28:08
◼
►
arrivals because I think that's a
[TS]
01:28:09
◼
►
terrible way to think about life for so
[TS]
01:28:12
◼
►
many reasons and so I think people who
[TS]
01:28:15
◼
►
can quickly conjure up all of this
[TS]
01:28:17
◼
►
things first of all it might be for a
[TS]
01:28:18
◼
►
professional reasons it's a very
[TS]
01:28:19
◼
►
LinkedIn kind of thing to be able to say
[TS]
01:28:22
◼
►
this position there and I won this award
[TS]
01:28:23
◼

doubled revenue by beetle EDD but you
[TS]
01:28:29
◼

[TS]
01:28:31
◼
►
salesman of them but like I just feel
[TS]
01:28:34
◼
►
like all of those things encourage not
[TS]
01:28:37
◼
►
only encourage that narration to stay
[TS]
01:28:38
◼
►
alive that narrative about arrivals not
[TS]
01:28:41
◼
►
only encourages that to stay alive it's
[TS]
01:28:43
◼
►
more fuel for that fire but it also
[TS]
01:28:44
◼
►
makes tenth every time you do that
[TS]
01:28:46
◼
►
10,000 people feel shitty about who they
[TS]
01:28:47
◼
►
are because they don't have that stuff
[TS]
01:28:48
◼
►
and they shouldn't and then they
[TS]
01:28:50
◼
►
shouldn't and I don't want to
[TS]
01:28:51
◼
►
participate in that and it bugs me and
[TS]
01:28:53
◼
►
when people get into that stuff and they
[TS]
01:28:55
◼
►
want tell me about who they've met this
