Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 949 Scott Adams： Fun Thoughts Before Bed

00:00:00.460 Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum. 1.00

00:00:06.520 Ow! I just hit my elbow on my computer.

00:00:11.220 Hey everybody, come on in.

00:00:13.960 It's time for the evening edition of No Coffee with Scott Adams

00:00:18.860 because you don't need any caffeine now.

00:00:21.580 No, what you need is to cleanse the palate of your brain

00:00:26.560 of all those bad and destructive ideas,

00:00:30.200 all that tension, all that stress

00:00:32.000 that you've been dealing with all day,

00:00:34.360 let it go.

00:00:36.800 Tonight, just good thoughts for the rest of the night.

00:00:41.220 For example,

00:00:43.180 did you know that the remdesivir

00:00:45.320 got approved by the FDA

00:00:46.960 for some kind of immediate use?

00:00:50.740 That's pretty good.

00:00:53.300 And did you hear that

00:00:56.120 Kim Jong-un apparently attended,

00:01:00.600 at least the report is,

00:01:02.580 that Kim Jong-un actually attended,

00:01:05.340 I think yesterday,

00:01:07.360 the opening of a fertilizer plant.

00:01:11.680 Now, what it didn't say

00:01:12.900 is that he attended as a guest

00:01:15.600 or did he attend as the actual fertilizer.

00:01:18.800 So that part was a little unclear.

00:01:20.300 So we still don't know exactly

00:01:22.420 what's going on with Kim Jong-un.

00:01:24.020 So hold on to that thought.

00:01:31.560 I'd like to show you something.

00:01:35.180 Well, actually, if you haven't heard

00:01:36.860 Alex Jones,

00:01:38.980 the clip that's going around

00:01:40.680 about cannibalizing his neighbor,

00:01:43.740 have you all heard that?

00:01:45.600 Well, you're going to hear it.

00:01:46.820 But I'm literally...

00:01:48.560 So this is Alex Jones

00:01:49.940 talking about how if things get bad,

00:01:53.160 he's totally going to eat 1.00

00:01:54.360 his neighbor's ass. 1.00

00:01:56.300 I'll admit it. 1.00

00:01:58.460 I will eat my neighbors. 0.76

00:02:00.160 I'm not letting my kids die. 0.97

00:02:01.500 I'm just going to be honest.

00:02:02.780 My superpower is being honest.

00:02:04.420 I've extrapolated this out

00:02:06.080 and I won't have to for a few years

00:02:07.960 because I got food and stuff.

00:02:09.160 But I'm literally looking at my neighbors now

00:02:11.160 and going, 0.98

00:02:11.940 I'm ready to hang them up 1.00

00:02:13.080 and gut them and skin them 1.00

00:02:14.060 and chop them up. 1.00

00:02:14.800 You know what?

00:02:15.140 I'm ready.

00:02:15.680 My daughters aren't starving to death. 1.00

00:02:17.300 I'll eat my neighbors.

00:02:18.760 See,

00:02:19.960 my superpower is being honest. 1.00

00:02:21.500 I'll eat your ass. 1.00

00:02:22.860 I will. 1.00

00:02:24.320 I'm a combat model.

00:02:26.780 Optimus self-sufficiency.

00:02:28.300 Probably the leader.

00:02:29.940 The point is,

00:02:30.800 is have you thought about that yet?

00:02:32.600 Because I'm somebody

00:02:33.740 that thought I could fix this

00:02:35.140 and I'm starting to think about

00:02:36.600 having to eat my neighbors.

00:02:38.960 You think I like

00:02:40.040 sizing up my neighbor?

00:02:41.980 How I'm going to haul him up by a chain 1.00

00:02:43.840 and chop his ass up? 1.00

00:02:46.260 I'll do it. 1.00

00:02:47.960 My children aren't going hungry. 1.00

00:02:50.260 I will eat your ass. 1.00

00:02:52.300 That's what I want the public to know. 1.00

00:02:55.280 I will eat your ass first. 1.00

00:02:58.420 I will eat your ass. 1.00

00:03:04.020 Oh, Alex Jones, 1.00

00:03:07.380 thank you for that.

00:03:08.180 God almighty.

00:03:15.240 All right.

00:03:15.820 So,

00:03:17.580 do you follow Juanita Broderick

00:03:21.100 on Twitter?

00:03:22.920 So,

00:03:23.360 she's accused 0.71

00:03:24.300 President Clinton

00:03:25.300 of rape, 0.99

00:03:27.120 I think. 0.83

00:03:28.280 And,

00:03:28.900 but she's pretty witty 1.00

00:03:29.960 on Twitter.

00:03:31.260 And she says,

00:03:32.160 there's one positive outcome

00:03:33.460 to Biden being

00:03:34.420 the Democrat nominee.

00:03:36.140 We won't have to hear

00:03:37.380 him continually

00:03:38.600 bitching about 1.00

00:03:39.420 why he lost.

00:03:40.600 He won't remember.

00:03:44.380 This is Juanita Broderick

00:03:46.000 who's,

00:03:46.880 who's,

00:03:48.100 who's unloading on Biden.

00:03:51.760 All right.

00:03:52.360 I have a recommendation

00:03:53.660 for you.

00:03:54.900 If you're trying to figure out

00:03:56.240 this little coronavirus stuff

00:03:57.840 and

00:03:59.120 are you a little frustrated

00:04:00.780 as I have been

00:04:01.920 that you keep seeing

00:04:03.540 these charts

00:04:04.180 and graphs

00:04:04.860 and you're not quite sure

00:04:06.520 if you should believe

00:04:07.280 any of it?

00:04:08.800 Because,

00:04:09.640 uh,

00:04:10.080 I'm at the point where

00:04:11.220 it doesn't matter

00:04:11.940 who shows me the chart.

00:04:13.720 It doesn't matter

00:04:14.580 what context I see it.

00:04:16.260 It doesn't matter

00:04:17.020 what sources are named.

00:04:18.900 The first thing,

00:04:19.640 the first thing I think is,

00:04:21.660 I'm not so sure about that.

00:04:24.480 No matter what it is,

00:04:26.500 it's just my first instinct

00:04:27.840 is like,

00:04:28.580 probably not.

00:04:31.300 You know,

00:04:32.000 if I,

00:04:32.400 if I had to bet,

00:04:33.920 if I had to bet

00:04:34.760 without knowing

00:04:35.380 anything about your data,

00:04:37.720 you're just showing it to me

00:04:39.060 for the first time.

00:04:40.200 I don't even know

00:04:41.340 where it's from.

00:04:42.720 You say it's from

00:04:43.560 authoritative sources.

00:04:45.000 You've named your sources.

00:04:46.260 Here's the URL.

00:04:47.020 I can check it myself.

00:04:48.820 I get it.

00:04:49.980 Still,

00:04:51.400 I'm not so sure.

00:04:54.220 So all of our data 0.61

00:04:55.600 is just crap right now.

00:04:56.900 Everything's just 1.00

00:04:57.500 ridiculous garbage. 0.99

00:04:59.340 But it's not stopping people 1.00

00:05:00.920 from being certain

00:05:01.860 that they can read these,

00:05:03.980 you know,

00:05:04.680 these,

00:05:04.940 these entrails

00:05:06.080 and that they can make

00:05:07.700 something out of it

00:05:08.400 like horoscopes.

00:05:10.640 So everything that we think

00:05:12.040 are these data-driven decisions,

00:05:14.100 well,

00:05:16.320 in principle,

00:05:17.760 yeah,

00:05:18.840 we're making data-driven

00:05:20.000 decisions

00:05:21.020 hypothetically.

00:05:23.640 Yeah,

00:05:24.240 we're,

00:05:24.400 we're making

00:05:24.880 a lot of

00:05:26.640 data-driven decisions

00:05:28.460 in our imagination

00:05:30.520 and we're also making

00:05:32.740 data-driven decisions

00:05:34.480 in the future.

00:05:36.080 but I'll tell you

00:05:37.780 what we haven't done yet

00:05:39.100 is make a data-driven decision

00:05:41.820 because how could we? 0.97

00:05:43.160 All the data is just crap. 0.94

00:05:44.980 And the, 0.96

00:05:45.700 the most frustrating part

00:05:47.200 is watching people

00:05:48.120 so certain

00:05:49.140 that they can compare

00:05:50.660 one country

00:05:51.420 to another.

00:05:52.700 And

00:05:53.260 here's one of those

00:05:55.160 situations where

00:05:56.120 I wanted to call

00:05:58.260 BS on it.

00:05:59.240 I mean,

00:05:59.460 I tried,

00:06:00.020 but there's some topics

00:06:02.060 that I can't penetrate

00:06:03.780 because I don't have

00:06:04.780 standing.

00:06:06.020 Meaning that,

00:06:06.960 why would you believe me

00:06:07.940 if I said that

00:06:09.440 somebody's data is wrong?

00:06:11.220 Like,

00:06:11.780 really,

00:06:12.540 why would you believe me?

00:06:13.540 It wouldn't make sense.

00:06:15.660 Unless I could point

00:06:16.680 to something specifically

00:06:17.700 and often I can't.

00:06:19.200 I just look at it

00:06:20.280 and I say to myself,

00:06:21.500 I don't know

00:06:22.740 what's wrong with this,

00:06:24.200 but I definitely

00:06:25.140 don't trust it.

00:06:26.740 So that's sort of

00:06:27.380 where I am.

00:06:28.020 That's not very helpful.

00:06:28.900 So I recommend

00:06:31.300 following Nate Silver.

00:06:33.140 You all know

00:06:33.820 Nate Silver, right?

00:06:35.300 Famous for

00:06:36.380 statistics

00:06:38.460 and 538

00:06:39.800 is his website.

00:06:41.680 And

00:06:41.940 he, of course,

00:06:43.440 for conservatives,

00:06:44.960 we've loved to,

00:06:46.380 I say we

00:06:47.200 because I'm in this

00:06:48.040 conversation,

00:06:49.260 we've loved to

00:06:49.960 make fun of him

00:06:50.720 because he famously

00:06:52.100 predicted that

00:06:52.960 at one point

00:06:54.100 that there was

00:06:54.640 only a 2% chance

00:06:56.640 that Trump

00:06:57.620 could win the presidency

00:06:58.620 so I predicted

00:07:00.840 there was a 98%

00:07:01.980 chance he would win.

00:07:03.660 Now,

00:07:03.980 that worked out

00:07:04.620 well for me

00:07:05.260 and then people said,

00:07:06.820 ha ha,

00:07:08.100 cartoonist gets it right,

00:07:10.580 statistician

00:07:11.940 gets it wrong.

00:07:13.020 And of course,

00:07:13.460 I played to that

00:07:14.180 because it was

00:07:14.620 fun to talk about it

00:07:16.540 that way.

00:07:17.180 That's not exactly

00:07:18.020 what happened

00:07:18.600 because

00:07:19.500 as I will say often

00:07:22.020 and it's worth

00:07:23.340 saying again,

00:07:24.820 what Nate Silver

00:07:25.780 does is tell you

00:07:26.600 the odds

00:07:27.300 which is not

00:07:28.640 the same

00:07:29.020 as telling you

00:07:29.560 what's going

00:07:29.940 to happen.

00:07:31.460 So, for example,

00:07:32.340 when I gave you

00:07:32.920 the odds

00:07:33.640 that I think

00:07:34.640 it's a 60% chance

00:07:37.560 that the hydroxychloroquine

00:07:39.080 is not all

00:07:39.940 it was cracked up to be,

00:07:41.600 40% chance it is,

00:07:43.440 I'm not predicting

00:07:44.780 that it's not.

00:07:46.600 I'm telling you

00:07:47.420 the odds.

00:07:48.420 40% is a pretty

00:07:49.440 big chunk.

00:07:50.640 So, if it goes,

00:07:51.820 you know,

00:07:52.280 if it goes

00:07:52.820 in the other way,

00:07:55.680 you can't really say

00:07:56.680 that the person

00:07:57.240 who predicted

00:07:57.780 the odds

00:07:58.480 was wrong

00:07:59.240 because

00:08:00.660 even in the

00:08:02.280 case of

00:08:03.660 Dave Silver,

00:08:05.080 he did say

00:08:05.660 there was a 2% chance

00:08:06.980 that Trump would win

00:08:08.100 and sometimes

00:08:09.900 2% happens.

00:08:11.400 That's how

00:08:12.160 statistics works.

00:08:14.100 So,

00:08:14.520 I've of course

00:08:15.260 had fun

00:08:15.860 because,

00:08:16.540 you know,

00:08:16.760 that went in my direction

00:08:18.540 that one time.

00:08:19.460 but if you're

00:08:20.520 trying to understand

00:08:21.380 the graphs

00:08:22.320 that you're seeing

00:08:22.940 and the statistics,

00:08:24.480 especially the ones

00:08:25.360 comparing countries,

00:08:26.820 he's the best one

00:08:27.600 to follow

00:08:28.080 because he doesn't

00:08:30.260 get too technical

00:08:31.060 and he just says,

00:08:32.760 you know,

00:08:33.100 I don't think

00:08:33.680 you can compare these,

00:08:34.920 here's why,

00:08:36.120 this looks like

00:08:36.900 it's misleading

00:08:37.560 and here's why.

00:08:38.920 And I think

00:08:39.560 he does the best job

00:08:40.660 of that.

00:08:41.060 Now,

00:08:41.680 if you do follow him,

00:08:43.160 Nate Silver,

00:08:44.300 N-A-T-E 1.00

00:08:45.320 Silver,

00:08:47.700 and he said,

00:08:48.480 Nate Silver,

00:08:49.100 538 is

00:08:50.440 on Twitter

00:08:51.060 and he's,

00:08:53.000 you know,

00:08:53.160 the most famous

00:08:54.300 statistician

00:08:56.340 if I can call him that.

00:08:59.060 I'm not sure

00:08:59.820 if he uses that label

00:09:00.740 for himself

00:09:01.220 but

00:09:02.220 and he was

00:09:04.520 sort of

00:09:05.300 warning people

00:09:06.360 on Twitter

00:09:06.980 not to compare us

00:09:09.160 to Sweden

00:09:09.700 and

00:09:10.700 even that there's

00:09:12.220 a peril

00:09:12.720 to compare us

00:09:13.460 to any other country

00:09:14.500 but what Silver

00:09:15.780 was saying

00:09:16.300 is that you can't

00:09:17.040 really,

00:09:17.360 there's nothing

00:09:19.440 that's jumping out

00:09:20.600 as statistically

00:09:22.360 true

00:09:22.980 about the decisions

00:09:24.980 that we're making

00:09:25.880 versus other countries

00:09:27.060 because it seems

00:09:28.320 that people are doing

00:09:29.220 all kinds of

00:09:29.880 different things

00:09:30.800 and getting

00:09:32.460 sort of similar

00:09:33.460 results.

00:09:35.300 So,

00:09:35.640 that's sort of

00:09:36.520 the insight

00:09:37.020 that I was looking for.

00:09:38.440 Like,

00:09:38.680 that's what I was feeling

00:09:39.780 but when he put it

00:09:41.240 in words,

00:09:42.320 you know,

00:09:42.700 because he's

00:09:43.340 smarter about

00:09:44.080 that stuff.

00:09:44.920 When he put it

00:09:45.440 in words,

00:09:45.920 I was like,

00:09:46.300 oh,

00:09:46.800 yeah,

00:09:48.260 yeah,

00:09:48.960 I'm seeing that.

00:09:50.180 Everybody's doing

00:09:50.820 all kinds of

00:09:51.360 different things

00:09:52.180 and yet the outcomes

00:09:53.760 are pretty similar

00:09:55.040 with the few

00:09:56.500 exceptions of

00:09:57.280 the hotspots.

00:09:58.180 If you take out

00:09:59.000 the hotspots

00:09:59.800 as he recommends,

00:10:02.160 everything looks

00:10:03.060 about the same

00:10:03.880 no matter

00:10:05.020 what you do.

00:10:06.780 And what's that

00:10:07.620 tell you?

00:10:08.980 I don't know

00:10:09.520 if it tells you

00:10:10.020 anything.

00:10:11.260 But it's worth

00:10:11.940 noting that it

00:10:13.060 doesn't,

00:10:13.780 well,

00:10:14.120 the context

00:10:14.820 that he was

00:10:15.280 talking about,

00:10:16.580 if I can,

00:10:17.260 I hope I accurately

00:10:18.120 convey this,

00:10:19.280 the context is that

00:10:20.400 everybody who says

00:10:21.420 if you do X,

00:10:23.220 you'll get a better

00:10:23.920 result.

00:10:25.580 And Nate is

00:10:26.240 pointing out that

00:10:26.900 people are doing

00:10:27.440 all kinds of things

00:10:28.500 and no matter

00:10:29.040 what they do,

00:10:30.260 they're getting

00:10:30.700 similar results.

00:10:32.200 So it is almost

00:10:33.220 certainly true that

00:10:34.340 whatever you thought

00:10:35.100 was that thing

00:10:35.760 that needed to be

00:10:36.500 done,

00:10:36.760 probably isn't

00:10:38.740 the thing.

00:10:39.900 Because if there

00:10:40.520 were some one

00:10:41.220 variable that was

00:10:42.020 jumping out as

00:10:42.840 the thing to do,

00:10:44.300 then the people

00:10:44.840 doing that would

00:10:45.480 have great results,

00:10:46.640 the other people

00:10:47.180 wouldn't,

00:10:47.720 it would be obvious.

00:10:49.220 So follow Nate,

00:10:50.760 he can sort it

00:10:51.640 out for you.

00:10:54.700 I was,

00:10:56.140 right after a few

00:10:57.720 days or a day

00:10:58.440 after I was

00:10:59.060 telling you that

00:10:59.560 the president was

00:11:00.880 really hitting his

00:11:01.620 groove in talking

00:11:03.280 about the coronavirus

00:11:04.040 because I said

00:11:05.440 that he'd found

00:11:05.960 this new discipline

00:11:06.960 where no matter

00:11:08.180 what the question

00:11:09.300 is or no matter

00:11:10.180 what he's going

00:11:10.760 to talk about,

00:11:11.920 he first says,

00:11:13.440 you know,

00:11:14.020 losing even one

00:11:15.280 life is too much,

00:11:17.360 it's a tragedy

00:11:18.120 for the victims,

00:11:19.820 and then he'll go

00:11:20.600 and make his point.

00:11:21.960 And that inoculates

00:11:23.020 him because he first

00:11:24.360 shows empathy

00:11:25.380 of how bad things

00:11:26.760 are for everybody,

00:11:28.140 and then he talks

00:11:29.100 about his point.

00:11:30.100 And I said,

00:11:30.840 you know,

00:11:31.020 that's keeping him

00:11:31.840 out of trouble.

00:11:32.340 So apparently

00:11:33.380 he lost that

00:11:35.060 discipline today,

00:11:35.920 and he made

00:11:37.560 one comment

00:11:38.320 about the number

00:11:39.520 of people who

00:11:40.080 might die,

00:11:40.800 the being in the,

00:11:41.540 I don't know,

00:11:42.200 60, 70, 100,000

00:11:43.840 range.

00:11:45.080 And I guess

00:11:46.360 the context was

00:11:47.220 he was saying

00:11:47.680 that we're doing

00:11:48.180 pretty well.

00:11:49.880 And so Joe Walsh,

00:11:51.080 who's the anti-Trumper,

00:11:53.380 gets on,

00:11:54.180 and, you know,

00:11:54.560 he's all offended

00:11:55.540 on Twitter

00:11:56.820 that the president

00:11:58.260 could act like

00:11:59.660 it's a victory

00:12:00.220 to lose 100,000

00:12:01.420 people,

00:12:02.600 or worse than

00:12:03.320 that effect.

00:12:04.300 And I thought,

00:12:05.260 God,

00:12:06.000 that is the lowest

00:12:07.520 level of punditry

00:12:09.980 and politics.

00:12:11.700 It was so obvious.

00:12:15.040 It's sort of like

00:12:15.820 something a sixth

00:12:16.780 grader could have

00:12:17.540 done,

00:12:18.600 you know,

00:12:19.320 just waiting for

00:12:20.320 all these

00:12:20.860 common,

00:12:22.360 hackneyed,

00:12:23.280 overused attacks.

00:12:26.080 Did he forget

00:12:27.160 to say in front

00:12:28.300 of the sentence

00:12:29.020 this one time

00:12:29.900 out of a thousand

00:12:30.740 that every death

00:12:32.160 is too much?

00:12:33.440 Oh, there was

00:12:34.120 this one time,

00:12:35.000 yeah,

00:12:35.560 there was this one time

00:12:36.380 he didn't say it

00:12:37.040 before the sentence,

00:12:38.580 and so that means 0.91

00:12:39.620 he's a monster 0.99

00:12:40.660 who wants 0.98

00:12:41.260 100,000 people

00:12:42.740 to die, 0.99

00:12:43.560 and he's a narcissist, 1.00

00:12:45.000 and he only cares 0.94

00:12:45.480 about himself,

00:12:46.120 because it was

00:12:46.480 that one time.

00:12:48.080 I mean,

00:12:48.520 seriously,

00:12:49.120 Joe Walsh,

00:12:49.660 I mean,

00:12:50.000 seriously.

00:12:51.400 And I'm not even,

00:12:53.240 I'm not even

00:12:55.480 bothered by it

00:12:56.520 because his opinion

00:12:58.960 disagrees with mine

00:13:00.360 or, you know,

00:13:01.180 I don't think

00:13:01.600 it's appropriate

00:13:02.160 or something,

00:13:03.240 or even that it's

00:13:04.040 harmful,

00:13:05.100 because it's so 0.99

00:13:05.660 ridiculous, 0.96

00:13:06.660 because, you know, 0.99

00:13:07.320 it's totally inert.

00:13:08.520 What it is

00:13:09.400 is so boring

00:13:10.680 that I just think

00:13:13.540 you should never

00:13:14.080 talk in public again 0.57

00:13:15.220 if you're that boring.

00:13:16.820 It's like,

00:13:17.400 really?

00:13:17.860 That's the most

00:13:18.500 obvious thing to say? 0.99

00:13:19.680 It's dumb? 0.98

00:13:20.280 Nobody believes it. 0.93

00:13:20.920 Anyway,

00:13:21.600 let's talk about

00:13:22.160 something fun.

00:13:24.700 I spend a great deal

00:13:25.780 of time in my garage

00:13:26.740 trying to invent

00:13:27.860 things that are

00:13:30.220 totally impractical,

00:13:31.720 and I want to run

00:13:32.740 through something

00:13:33.360 just for fun

00:13:34.140 to make you think

00:13:34.940 about something

00:13:35.680 that maybe

00:13:38.340 you can improve on.

00:13:40.700 And here are

00:13:41.400 two known technologies

00:13:43.460 that I've melded

00:13:45.280 together.

00:13:46.080 So, for example,

00:13:47.340 one way,

00:13:48.220 if you look at this

00:13:49.020 as the left side

00:13:50.160 and the right side,

00:13:51.060 these are different

00:13:51.620 technologies.

00:13:52.560 On the left,

00:13:53.580 we've got a lake

00:13:54.720 that pumps water

00:13:55.600 up to a mountain

00:13:56.360 reservoir,

00:13:57.500 and then when you

00:13:58.520 need electricity,

00:14:00.900 you let that water

00:14:01.900 flow back down

00:14:02.720 through a generator

00:14:03.480 and back into the lake.

00:14:05.620 Now, of course,

00:14:06.360 that alone would not

00:14:07.700 be a good system

00:14:08.700 because the energy

00:14:10.020 it would take

00:14:10.560 to pump it uphill

00:14:11.880 would almost certainly

00:14:13.600 be more than the energy

00:14:14.760 that you could create

00:14:16.000 pumping it down.

00:14:17.520 So this would work

00:14:18.540 if you have

00:14:19.160 some other source

00:14:20.300 that is not

00:14:21.460 dependable at night

00:14:22.580 and the only thing

00:14:23.480 you're trying to do

00:14:24.120 is give a little

00:14:24.640 night electricity.

00:14:26.680 But how do you get that?

00:14:28.160 Well, there's another

00:14:28.820 technology

00:14:29.460 called a heat chimney,

00:14:32.320 and it has to do

00:14:33.540 with the fact

00:14:34.020 that heat

00:14:34.660 wants to rise.

00:14:37.160 So if you had,

00:14:38.040 for example,

00:14:38.880 let's say this is a mountain.

00:14:40.960 So on the left

00:14:41.760 of the mountain,

00:14:42.320 you've got this reservoir

00:14:43.340 and this system

00:14:44.400 of storing water

00:14:45.360 that you can later

00:14:46.600 release

00:14:47.460 to create energy

00:14:48.560 through a generator.

00:14:49.840 But on the other side,

00:14:50.840 you've got air.

00:14:52.020 So you're heating the air

00:14:53.320 and it doesn't have

00:14:54.380 to be a hot house,

00:14:55.780 but I drew it that way.

00:14:57.220 Imagine there's like

00:14:58.000 a mile-long hot house.

00:15:00.040 The sun is going

00:15:01.180 through the glass

00:15:02.000 and into the stone surface,

00:15:04.960 heating it up.

00:15:06.140 That hot air

00:15:06.720 has to go somewhere,

00:15:07.800 so it goes up

00:15:08.360 this long tube,

00:15:10.540 turns a generator,

00:15:12.300 similar to how

00:15:13.260 a windmill would work,

00:15:14.600 but, you know,

00:15:15.220 a generator.

00:15:16.680 And then the air

00:15:17.600 goes out

00:15:17.980 into the atmosphere.

00:15:19.040 Now, the second thing

00:15:20.000 that this can do,

00:15:21.220 and it's been,

00:15:22.560 and by the way,

00:15:23.100 I'm not inventing this.

00:15:24.380 These are existing things.

00:15:26.460 I'm just sort of

00:15:27.120 putting them together.

00:15:29.460 One of the things

00:15:30.480 you could do

00:15:30.920 is use this hot air system

00:15:32.460 to scrub the air

00:15:34.340 to remove pollution.

00:15:36.200 I think you could

00:15:37.020 remove CO2.

00:15:38.480 I'm not sure about that.

00:15:40.020 But you can at least

00:15:41.820 scrub the pollution out

00:15:42.960 because forcing things

00:15:44.960 through a filter

00:15:46.280 is sort of

00:15:47.300 the way you do it.

00:15:49.300 Or at least one way

00:15:50.320 to do it.

00:15:50.940 So,

00:15:51.640 if you could create

00:15:52.840 a system

00:15:53.340 that would have

00:15:54.660 hot air

00:15:55.200 going up,

00:15:56.900 that would operate

00:15:58.060 most of the day

00:15:59.140 and night.

00:16:00.400 So, you could actually

00:16:01.320 get that

00:16:01.920 to work through

00:16:03.220 most of the night

00:16:04.040 because there's

00:16:04.620 always a differential

00:16:05.520 between the valley

00:16:07.300 and the top of the hill.

00:16:08.960 So, as long as

00:16:09.740 there's a differential,

00:16:11.220 you've got an airflow.

00:16:12.800 So, one of these

00:16:13.460 will work all night

00:16:14.400 and that can create

00:16:15.960 enough electricity

00:16:16.800 maybe to help

00:16:17.740 pump some water up

00:16:18.740 if you've got some extra.

00:16:20.260 And then the two of these

00:16:21.280 can feed a town.

00:16:23.140 Now, forget about

00:16:25.300 whether this would

00:16:26.260 work exactly.

00:16:28.080 There's a larger

00:16:29.640 point here.

00:16:30.820 The larger point is

00:16:31.820 I think that the future

00:16:32.860 is building

00:16:34.660 inexpensive places

00:16:36.060 to live

00:16:36.700 in which you've

00:16:37.920 designed the entire

00:16:38.940 town.

00:16:40.300 This is almost

00:16:41.040 never done.

00:16:42.440 Design is usually

00:16:43.720 limited to the

00:16:45.340 specific,

00:16:47.220 let's say,

00:16:48.700 industry.

00:16:49.900 So, for example,

00:16:50.620 a builder and an architect

00:16:52.140 might design a house

00:16:54.560 and they might

00:16:56.460 maybe design

00:16:57.180 a little neighborhood

00:16:57.840 but they're not

00:16:58.760 designing the whole town.

00:17:00.400 Towns sort of get

00:17:01.220 built up over time

00:17:02.360 most of the time.

00:17:03.600 So, you just do

00:17:04.660 what you can

00:17:05.220 given the constraints.

00:17:06.800 But if you started

00:17:07.560 from scratch

00:17:08.460 to build

00:17:09.820 the most efficient,

00:17:11.740 well-designed city

00:17:13.340 that was the

00:17:14.520 perfect place to live,

00:17:15.780 everybody would

00:17:16.460 want to be there.

00:17:17.380 You don't even need

00:17:18.140 a car,

00:17:18.960 you've got free

00:17:19.740 electricity,

00:17:20.300 or it's close

00:17:21.240 to it.

00:17:22.260 And you've got

00:17:23.140 good weather.

00:17:24.660 So, if you were

00:17:25.260 going to locate

00:17:26.000 this new town

00:17:27.800 that will be

00:17:29.200 the future town

00:17:30.160 that's well-designed

00:17:31.160 so it's really

00:17:32.080 inexpensive

00:17:32.740 but great.

00:17:34.600 Both of those

00:17:35.320 things.

00:17:36.320 Yeah, and somebody's

00:17:37.100 saying in the comments

00:17:37.820 nuclear.

00:17:38.620 You could do

00:17:39.300 something similar

00:17:40.200 simply by having

00:17:42.280 nuclear power,

00:17:43.800 let's say

00:17:44.120 generation four.

00:17:45.600 So, in all

00:17:46.780 these cases,

00:17:47.400 you're deciding

00:17:48.240 on your location,

00:17:49.200 you're making

00:17:50.180 sure you've got

00:17:50.720 the right kind

00:17:51.320 of weather

00:17:52.200 and temperature

00:17:52.960 for what you're

00:17:53.640 trying to build,

00:17:54.760 and you make

00:17:55.100 sure you have

00:17:55.540 a water source

00:17:56.780 and an energy

00:17:57.680 source.

00:17:58.520 So, let's say

00:17:59.200 you can find

00:17:59.880 lots of places

00:18:00.660 that meet this

00:18:02.560 test in the

00:18:03.680 United States

00:18:04.360 where you could

00:18:04.820 build a city.

00:18:07.240 Then how would

00:18:08.060 you do it?

00:18:08.580 I think it

00:18:10.300 need to be

00:18:10.700 some kind

00:18:11.120 of massive

00:18:11.780 coordinated

00:18:12.780 wiki

00:18:14.120 sort of

00:18:14.880 situation

00:18:15.400 because there

00:18:16.500 are so many

00:18:16.920 skills involved

00:18:17.900 that's why

00:18:18.620 it's never

00:18:19.020 been done,

00:18:19.720 I think.

00:18:20.900 I think

00:18:21.700 it would take

00:18:22.500 so many

00:18:22.920 different kinds

00:18:23.640 of engineers

00:18:24.340 to coordinate.

00:18:26.620 It would be

00:18:26.820 hundreds of them.

00:18:27.660 It would just

00:18:27.920 be really hard.

00:18:29.380 But, once

00:18:30.160 you've got it

00:18:30.580 going,

00:18:31.720 probably each

00:18:32.480 of the modules

00:18:33.280 could be

00:18:34.040 adjusted.

00:18:34.500 For example,

00:18:35.820 some of the

00:18:36.380 engineers might

00:18:37.100 be doing

00:18:37.820 waste treatment.

00:18:39.880 Some of the

00:18:40.400 engineers might

00:18:41.200 be just making

00:18:41.900 sure everybody

00:18:42.520 has Wi-Fi.

00:18:44.160 But, those

00:18:45.040 are all little

00:18:45.480 modules.

00:18:46.740 So, you could

00:18:47.200 always say,

00:18:47.780 okay, we've got

00:18:48.300 a better way

00:18:48.820 to do the Wi-Fi.

00:18:50.340 We've got a

00:18:50.780 better way to

00:18:51.340 treat the waste.

00:18:52.240 And, you know,

00:18:52.640 you trade those

00:18:53.220 out.

00:18:53.940 But, the point

00:18:54.620 is, you could

00:18:55.460 design a city

00:18:57.460 that was super

00:18:59.340 cheap and

00:19:00.700 super good at

00:19:01.560 the same time.

00:19:02.760 Somebody says

00:19:03.360 it sounds

00:19:03.780 horrible.

00:19:04.500 What about

00:19:05.060 this would

00:19:05.460 sound horrible?

00:19:06.980 It's something

00:19:08.000 that literally

00:19:08.520 hasn't been

00:19:09.020 designed yet.

00:19:10.880 All right.

00:19:12.820 So, then

00:19:13.540 solar will

00:19:14.220 only be four

00:19:14.840 times expensive

00:19:15.680 as current

00:19:16.400 electric generation.

00:19:18.040 Well, I'm

00:19:18.500 not here to

00:19:19.160 argue the

00:19:20.360 pros and cons

00:19:21.180 of the

00:19:21.520 different power

00:19:22.240 sources.

00:19:23.120 I'm just

00:19:23.560 saying that

00:19:24.120 it's fun to

00:19:25.640 think through

00:19:26.060 the ideas

00:19:26.820 of how you

00:19:28.580 could go

00:19:28.940 about that.

00:19:30.080 And, I'm

00:19:30.880 pretty sure

00:19:31.380 that if you

00:19:31.920 designed a

00:19:33.020 town really

00:19:34.100 well, it

00:19:35.320 would be

00:19:35.700 better to

00:19:36.220 live in

00:19:36.660 than anything

00:19:38.200 that anybody

00:19:38.680 lives today

00:19:39.340 and way,

00:19:40.020 way cheaper.

00:19:41.100 And, I

00:19:41.560 think that

00:19:41.920 that's the

00:19:42.320 future that's

00:19:42.820 going to

00:19:43.020 happen.

00:19:45.860 Once you

00:19:46.440 have the

00:19:46.700 design finalized,

00:19:47.660 you don't need

00:19:48.140 the engineers

00:19:48.740 anymore.

00:19:49.300 That is

00:19:50.020 incorrect.

00:19:51.160 Sounds like

00:19:51.900 you have not

00:19:52.400 worked around

00:19:53.240 technology.

00:19:54.540 You never

00:19:55.380 don't need

00:19:56.020 the engineers

00:19:56.740 because things

00:19:58.120 are continually

00:19:58.720 breaking and

00:19:59.720 needing upgrades

00:20:00.440 and fixes

00:20:01.220 and problem

00:20:03.000 shooting. 0.68

00:20:04.720 You might

00:20:05.400 need fewer

00:20:05.960 of them.

00:20:06.500 Well, probably

00:20:07.020 not even

00:20:07.420 that.

00:20:07.720 You always

00:20:08.000 need the

00:20:08.340 engineers.

00:20:10.220 So, he

00:20:10.860 says, Germany

00:20:11.460 has done

00:20:11.940 that.

00:20:12.620 Well, I'd

00:20:13.460 be interested

00:20:13.900 to know

00:20:14.720 when that

00:20:15.620 happened

00:20:16.060 because we

00:20:18.580 could do it

00:20:19.020 now way

00:20:19.820 better.

00:20:24.480 What is the

00:20:25.200 value of money

00:20:25.820 in a future

00:20:26.380 that doesn't

00:20:27.080 require it?

00:20:27.940 Well, that's

00:20:29.600 a big

00:20:30.100 question there.

00:20:32.280 You need

00:20:32.800 someone managing

00:20:33.560 the back

00:20:34.040 end.

00:20:34.380 Yeah, you

00:20:35.060 definitely need

00:20:35.920 somebody managing

00:20:36.720 the whole

00:20:37.080 thing.

00:20:37.880 You forgot

00:20:38.280 about power

00:20:38.860 transmission

00:20:39.460 lines.

00:20:41.000 Yeah.

00:20:42.040 Well, you

00:20:42.620 could use

00:20:43.080 power transmission

00:20:43.820 lines, but

00:20:44.380 you'd lose a

00:20:44.920 lot of power.

00:20:47.020 Scott loves

00:20:47.740 campus housing.

00:20:48.960 I love

00:20:49.580 alternative

00:20:50.860 housing.

00:20:53.240 So, I'm

00:20:54.520 not trying to

00:20:55.100 put any of

00:20:55.720 you in any

00:20:56.620 kind of

00:20:57.000 special housing.

00:20:59.740 You know, the

00:21:00.800 conservatives who

00:21:02.040 are in my

00:21:02.540 audience are so

00:21:03.320 primed to

00:21:05.060 look for

00:21:05.620 socialism

00:21:06.240 wherever they

00:21:06.840 can find it

00:21:07.480 that you see

00:21:08.860 it even where

00:21:09.400 it isn't.

00:21:10.660 So, if I

00:21:11.380 say, hey, you

00:21:12.340 can do

00:21:12.620 anything you

00:21:13.140 want, live

00:21:13.680 anywhere you

00:21:14.160 want, but

00:21:15.380 also, some

00:21:16.860 other people

00:21:17.400 might want to

00:21:18.340 choose these

00:21:18.940 kinds of

00:21:19.760 options, that's

00:21:20.800 not exactly

00:21:21.440 socialism.

00:21:22.800 That's everybody

00:21:23.460 can choose

00:21:23.980 anything they

00:21:24.480 want, and

00:21:25.480 if the market

00:21:26.060 wants cheap

00:21:27.620 housing, it

00:21:28.240 will have

00:21:29.180 it.

00:21:33.420 Yeah, there's

00:21:34.140 lots of net

00:21:34.800 zero housing, but

00:21:36.000 I believe that

00:21:36.620 the cost of

00:21:37.400 building that

00:21:37.920 stuff, and

00:21:39.000 the fact that

00:21:39.500 they use solar

00:21:40.180 panels and

00:21:40.960 stuff, there

00:21:41.360 are a lot of

00:21:41.960 disadvantages of

00:21:43.020 those.

00:21:44.380 Typically, when

00:21:45.100 you see something

00:21:45.720 like a zero

00:21:46.500 energy house, all

00:21:48.620 of the design

00:21:49.320 was done by

00:21:50.060 the builder.

00:21:52.280 But is that

00:21:53.100 the best way

00:21:53.740 to have

00:21:55.080 electricity?

00:21:56.080 Is the

00:21:56.560 best way

00:21:56.940 that each

00:21:57.340 house generates

00:21:58.120 its own?

00:21:59.280 Maybe.

00:22:00.060 But if you

00:22:00.600 had designed

00:22:01.040 the whole

00:22:01.420 city, maybe

00:22:03.180 you have one

00:22:04.440 place that

00:22:04.940 generates

00:22:05.340 electricity, be

00:22:07.140 it a central

00:22:09.840 site with,

00:22:11.960 let's say,

00:22:12.940 nuclear or

00:22:13.780 something else.

00:22:16.380 All right.

00:22:19.520 Interesting comment.

00:22:20.500 is the herd

00:22:21.460 management goal

00:22:22.680 large-scale

00:22:23.840 campus life?

00:22:25.180 I don't know

00:22:25.520 what that

00:22:25.780 means.

00:22:27.860 Hemp bale

00:22:28.620 houses are the

00:22:29.420 best, somebody

00:22:30.100 says.

00:22:31.040 You know, I

00:22:31.740 looked into all

00:22:32.500 of those

00:22:32.880 alternative

00:22:33.620 building things

00:22:36.100 when I built

00:22:36.580 my house.

00:22:37.160 Now, this was

00:22:37.580 10 years ago,

00:22:38.340 but some

00:22:38.940 things haven't

00:22:39.460 changed.

00:22:40.620 And people

00:22:41.360 kept telling

00:22:41.880 me, you

00:22:42.340 know, use

00:22:43.020 these hay

00:22:43.440 bales, some

00:22:45.060 kind of, I

00:22:45.580 don't know,

00:22:46.080 different hay

00:22:46.800 bales, and

00:22:47.300 you put them

00:22:47.640 in your walls,

00:22:48.420 and you build

00:22:48.900 up the thing.

00:22:49.740 But you

00:22:50.040 start looking

00:22:50.540 into all

00:22:51.000 these alternative

00:22:51.660 technologies,

00:22:53.100 and you

00:22:53.360 find stuff

00:22:53.940 like, yeah,

00:22:55.260 this hay is

00:22:55.980 really good

00:22:56.560 insulation, and

00:22:58.100 it doesn't

00:22:58.520 cost much, and

00:23:00.080 it's not

00:23:00.320 really that

00:23:00.780 hard to

00:23:01.180 build, but

00:23:03.580 it'll be

00:23:04.560 filled with

00:23:05.120 rodents.

00:23:07.560 And I

00:23:08.600 think the

00:23:09.100 straw becomes

00:23:10.600 less effective

00:23:11.480 as an

00:23:11.940 insulator over

00:23:12.660 time.

00:23:13.920 I don't know,

00:23:14.240 something happens

00:23:14.920 to it, it

00:23:15.340 degrades, or

00:23:16.980 bugs get in

00:23:18.080 there and eat

00:23:18.600 it.

00:23:19.040 So it turns

00:23:19.480 out that

00:23:19.920 if you

00:23:20.380 actually, if

00:23:21.620 you're trying

00:23:21.920 to build

00:23:22.220 your hippie

00:23:22.700 house, you

00:23:23.960 won't be

00:23:24.300 happy in

00:23:24.860 five years.

00:23:27.660 Bugs

00:23:28.100 will eat

00:23:28.460 it, yeah.

00:23:29.520 So there

00:23:30.280 are a lot

00:23:30.520 of these new

00:23:31.060 technologies, and

00:23:31.900 then the other

00:23:32.300 problem is that

00:23:32.920 you would never

00:23:33.440 get code

00:23:35.080 approval, you

00:23:35.980 would never

00:23:36.300 find a

00:23:36.720 builder who

00:23:37.260 knew how to

00:23:37.660 build it.

00:23:38.860 Yeah, they

00:23:39.240 all sound

00:23:39.680 good, but if

00:23:40.740 you try to

00:23:41.100 build anything

00:23:41.620 that's not

00:23:42.100 standard stuff,

00:23:43.700 it doesn't

00:23:44.040 happen.

00:23:45.020 Now here's my

00:23:45.800 other idea.

00:23:46.340 My other

00:23:47.260 idea is that

00:23:47.760 you design a

00:23:48.380 bunch of

00:23:48.700 rooms that

00:23:50.240 are standard

00:23:50.860 designs, but

00:23:51.800 they're the

00:23:52.120 best ones.

00:23:53.320 Because you've

00:23:54.120 seen a million

00:23:54.620 different kitchens,

00:23:55.580 right?

00:23:56.400 But it's not

00:23:57.340 true that they're

00:23:58.400 all just as

00:23:59.240 good.

00:23:59.900 There are some

00:24:00.540 designs for

00:24:01.900 how you design

00:24:02.900 a living room,

00:24:03.700 a bedroom, etc.,

00:24:04.880 that are just

00:24:05.500 better.

00:24:06.380 There's no doubt

00:24:07.000 about it.

00:24:07.660 Some room

00:24:08.600 sizes are

00:24:09.860 better.

00:24:10.620 So you come

00:24:11.020 up with, you

00:24:11.960 know, you do a

00:24:12.380 bunch of

00:24:12.660 testing, and you

00:24:13.220 come up with the

00:24:13.840 sizes that are

00:24:14.800 the best.

00:24:15.180 You might

00:24:15.820 have a few

00:24:16.300 varieties, you

00:24:17.140 know, two or

00:24:17.560 three different

00:24:18.080 choices, but

00:24:19.160 they're all

00:24:19.500 standardized, and

00:24:21.140 they're also

00:24:21.760 one-foot-square

00:24:23.300 sizes.

00:24:24.760 So if somebody

00:24:26.160 wanted to build

00:24:27.100 it themselves or

00:24:28.400 keep the

00:24:29.520 construction costs

00:24:30.700 down, every

00:24:32.120 part of the

00:24:32.580 house, you'd 0.71

00:24:33.760 never have to

00:24:34.320 cut anything,

00:24:35.960 because the

00:24:37.240 whole town would

00:24:38.260 have access to

00:24:39.100 one-foot-square

00:24:40.220 pieces for the

00:24:41.660 floor, let's 0.97

00:24:42.300 say, for the

00:24:43.580 ceiling, let's

00:24:44.160 say, maybe for

00:24:44.900 the walls.

00:24:46.080 And it doesn't

00:24:46.820 have to be just

00:24:47.380 one-foot-squares,

00:24:48.620 but the point

00:24:49.360 is that there's

00:24:50.100 no situation

00:24:50.880 where you'd

00:24:51.340 ever have to

00:24:51.780 cut any

00:24:52.400 material.

00:24:53.460 Everything could

00:24:54.020 be built by

00:24:54.780 taking it and

00:24:55.540 just putting it

00:24:56.080 where it

00:24:56.320 belongs, because

00:24:57.520 all the rooms

00:24:58.120 would be designed

00:24:58.820 to be the

00:24:59.460 exact size of

00:25:01.840 existing things.

00:25:03.060 and that alone

00:25:09.700 would probably

00:25:10.200 lower the cost

00:25:11.080 by 30%,

00:25:13.440 40%.

00:25:14.980 Somebody says

00:25:18.160 the best room

00:25:18.960 designs become

00:25:19.880 dated pretty

00:25:20.740 quickly.

00:25:21.600 I agree.

00:25:22.580 And that's why

00:25:23.320 you would want

00:25:24.220 to have the

00:25:24.620 option to

00:25:25.520 redesign your

00:25:27.060 home fairly

00:25:28.360 easily once it's

00:25:29.360 been built.

00:25:29.840 And if

00:25:30.600 everything is

00:25:31.140 modular, you

00:25:32.400 could take out

00:25:33.000 your floor and

00:25:34.260 say, hey, I

00:25:34.980 think I want

00:25:35.420 this to be a

00:25:35.900 different kind

00:25:36.320 of room and

00:25:36.960 put in a

00:25:38.160 different floor

00:25:38.760 without cutting

00:25:39.960 anything.

00:25:40.700 Nothing would

00:25:41.160 ever be cut.

00:25:41.760 Um, how much

00:25:45.080 is Lego paying

00:25:45.920 me?

00:25:46.300 Yeah, I'm

00:25:47.020 being paid by

00:25:48.000 big Lego.

00:25:51.100 You know, I

00:25:51.920 don't know if

00:25:52.400 modular homes

00:25:53.320 will ever be

00:25:54.480 as, the

00:25:55.400 trouble with

00:25:55.840 modular homes

00:25:56.700 is that they

00:25:57.560 require that the

00:25:58.480 labor happens

00:25:59.800 in the factory.

00:26:00.840 And if the

00:26:01.680 labor turns out

00:26:02.460 to be the

00:26:02.840 expensive part,

00:26:04.260 I think you

00:26:05.020 could find

00:26:05.420 situations where

00:26:06.240 people could

00:26:07.000 build their

00:26:07.480 own homes,

00:26:09.000 maybe not the

00:26:09.980 hard parts.

00:26:10.920 You know, there

00:26:11.160 might be

00:26:11.460 something that

00:26:11.980 they can't do

00:26:12.480 like framing

00:26:13.080 it or the

00:26:14.360 basement.

00:26:15.060 But for all

00:26:15.620 the walls and

00:26:16.540 floors and

00:26:17.280 stuff, the

00:26:18.820 homeowner could

00:26:19.560 build it

00:26:20.120 themselves.

00:26:20.800 All they

00:26:21.160 need is the

00:26:21.860 pieces.

00:26:23.600 Do you like

00:26:24.880 vertical farming?

00:26:26.160 I don't know

00:26:27.020 that anybody's

00:26:28.260 figured out how

00:26:28.840 to make it

00:26:29.260 economical.

00:26:30.040 I actually

00:26:30.380 have an

00:26:30.680 investment in

00:26:31.420 an indoor

00:26:32.000 farm company

00:26:33.640 that's doing

00:26:34.860 well, actually.

00:26:38.720 Don't build

00:26:39.500 where there is

00:26:40.060 freezing and

00:26:40.800 thawing.

00:26:41.300 Yeah, that

00:26:41.700 would be one

00:26:42.180 of the

00:26:42.800 main concerns.

00:26:44.220 Correct.

00:26:46.620 What happened

00:26:47.300 to geothermal?

00:26:49.340 So geothermal

00:26:50.320 is a perfect

00:26:50.960 example of a

00:26:53.600 technology that

00:26:54.380 works better if

00:26:55.040 you design the

00:26:55.720 city.

00:26:56.580 Because if you

00:26:57.320 try to do

00:26:57.820 geothermal for

00:26:58.720 your one house,

00:26:59.860 it just isn't

00:27:00.480 economical.

00:27:01.600 But if you

00:27:02.160 are trying to

00:27:02.620 do geothermal

00:27:03.320 for an

00:27:04.040 apartment complex,

00:27:05.900 or let's

00:27:06.420 say a college

00:27:08.080 campus or a

00:27:09.680 city, you

00:27:11.120 would do it

00:27:11.560 efficiently because

00:27:12.500 you would have

00:27:13.600 common systems

00:27:14.500 and stuff.

00:27:15.020 And you would

00:27:15.300 do it once

00:27:15.940 before everything

00:27:16.660 got built.

00:27:18.400 So that's

00:27:20.160 why you

00:27:20.480 design it from

00:27:21.100 scratch.

00:27:21.720 All right,

00:27:22.380 that's all I

00:27:23.220 got for now.

00:27:25.220 You've had

00:27:25.820 enough of me

00:27:26.280 today.

00:27:26.580 Somebody says

00:27:30.560 they built

00:27:30.960 their house

00:27:31.420 and it was

00:27:31.700 a nightmare.

00:27:34.140 Yeah, have

00:27:35.280 you seen the

00:27:35.840 Elon Musk

00:27:36.700 tweets today?

00:27:38.520 People are

00:27:39.180 wondering what's

00:27:40.040 going on.

00:27:41.200 He said the

00:27:41.720 Tesla stock

00:27:43.100 was too high

00:27:43.760 so it went

00:27:44.280 down.

00:27:45.300 He said his

00:27:45.880 girlfriend's

00:27:47.080 having his

00:27:47.500 baby on

00:27:48.120 Monday.

00:27:49.400 He said that

00:27:50.040 he's selling

00:27:50.480 all of his

00:27:51.060 property and

00:27:51.820 his possessions.

00:27:55.560 And

00:27:56.080 people are

00:27:57.060 saying what?

00:27:59.500 What's going

00:28:00.240 on?

00:28:01.720 I don't know.

00:28:03.480 Maybe we'll

00:28:04.200 never know.

00:28:06.060 But that's

00:28:07.300 all for now.

00:28:08.560 More swearing

00:28:09.440 before bed

00:28:10.020 please.

00:28:10.640 Not tonight.

00:28:11.500 I'm in a good

00:28:12.140 mood tonight.

00:28:13.100 And I will

00:28:13.760 see you in

00:28:14.740 the morning.
