00:00:00.000 Thank you.
00:00:07.000 Been a while, hasn't it?
00:00:07.000 Luke, it has.
00:00:09.000 I don't know what I should talk about.
00:00:15.000 That boat's called Big Daddy.
00:00:16.000 We might be.
00:00:18.000 Buy it, might have to call my boat Bigger Daddy, Biggest Daddy.
00:00:27.000 And if a boat comes along that's physically bigger, it'll be mine's the biggest daddy.
00:00:31.000 So, what should we talk about, Luke?
00:00:34.000 Shall we talk about the correct way to count using your fingers or why Fahrenheit's better than?
00:00:41.000 Than Celsius.
00:00:43.000 Why Fahrenheit is better than Celsius?
00:00:44.000 Because it is.
00:00:46.000 Do you agree?
00:00:47.000 Is it?
00:00:48.000 So you're in America, right?
00:00:49.000 So you should be on Team Fahrenheit, but you're probably on Team Celsius because you're a little fucking dork.
00:00:54.000 Celsius is garbage.
00:00:55.000 Let me tell you why Celsius is garbage.
00:00:57.000 I'm not sitting down for this.
00:00:58.000 I'm sitting in the sun.
00:00:59.000 Let me sit in the sun and tell you why.
00:01:01.000 Fahrenheit is the best way to measure the temperature.
00:01:04.000 Why don't scientists use it?
00:01:05.000 Scientists?
00:01:09.000 Scientists use Kelvin!
00:01:10.000 Dumbass.
00:01:11.000 Thought you were smart.
00:01:13.000 Scientists don't measure anything in Celsius, they measure things in Kelvin.
00:01:15.000 So you can take the whole science argument out of this.
00:01:18.000 I knew you were going to debunk with some science crap, and I already had your answer.
00:01:21.000 The answer is fucking Kelvin.
00:01:24.000 Celsius is a fucking tag along.
00:01:26.000 Celsius is a wannabe.
00:01:28.000 Because what happens is the metric system makes sense.
00:01:31.000 Kilograms make sense, kilometers make sense.
00:01:34.000 So because the whole metric system makes sense, we go with the metric temperature, right?
00:01:38.000 Celsius.
00:01:38.000 But it's a tag along because there's something very, very important about temperature which isn't the same for weight or for distance.
00:01:44.000 You measure the weight of lots of different things.
00:01:48.000 And you measure the distances of many different things.
00:01:51.000 What, besides the weather, do you ever measure the temperature of in your life?
00:01:56.000 Ever.
00:01:58.000 When's the last time, when it wasn't weather related, you thought, I need to know the temperature of this?
00:02:05.000 Fucking never.
00:02:06.000 You never do.
00:02:07.000 And when scientists need to know, they use what?
00:02:10.000 Kelvin.
00:02:11.000 Kelvin, correct.
00:02:12.000 Now, the whole fucking premise for Celsius is a scam anyway.
00:02:16.000 Because they say, oh, but water freezes at zero and boils at a hundred.
00:02:21.000 No, it doesn't.
00:02:23.000 That's a fucking lie.
00:02:23.000 Do you know why that's a lie?
00:02:25.000 No.
00:02:26.000 Because that's only true at sea level.
00:02:29.000 What's the altitude of Dubai?
00:02:32.000 I don't know.
00:02:32.000 Exactly.
00:02:33.000 So, what temperature does water boil at?
00:02:36.000 I don't know.
00:02:36.000 You don't know.
00:02:37.000 So, it's a fucking lie again.
00:02:38.000 You don't know when water freezes.
00:02:39.000 You don't know where water boils.
00:02:41.000 Celsius hasn't fucking helped you.
00:02:43.000 The only time you ever need to know the temperature in your life is when you want to go outside and know if you should wear a jacket or not.
00:02:49.000 Now, If the only time you ever give a shit about the temperature is for your own personal perception of how you're going to feel when you're outside the atmosphere, why wouldn't you like a more accurate scale?
00:03:01.000 Wouldn't you like to be able to say, oh, it's 85 today or it's 92 today?
00:03:05.000 Isn't that cooler than saying it's 29.3 or 29.9?
00:03:08.000 True or false?
00:03:10.000 Okay, true.
00:03:11.000 True.
00:03:12.000 So if you only care about the temperature for yourself, then with Celsius, you have between 0 and 30 degrees, which is the temperature outside, and you have 70 degrees up until water boils that you never ever use.
00:03:24.000 When's the last time you said, oh, 54 degrees Celsius?
00:03:27.000 Sir, never.
00:03:27.000 Never!
00:03:28.000 So it's a fucking scam.
00:03:30.000 And if kilometers and fucking meters and all this other crap wasn't so useful, no one would even use it.
00:03:35.000 It's just a tag along.
00:03:37.000 Fahrenheit makes more sense.
00:03:38.000 It makes more sense out here in the world.
00:03:40.000 It gives you a more accurate representation.
00:03:43.000 It's 98 degrees today, it's 72 degrees today.
00:03:46.000 It's better than, oh, it's 29, 26, duh.
00:03:50.000 It's lame.
00:03:52.000 The other argument is, I knew you'd come to the science.
00:03:54.000 The other argument is the cold thing.
00:03:55.000 People go, okay, well, Andrew, that makes a lot of sense.
00:03:58.000 What about when it's cold?
00:03:59.000 Because when it's cold with Celsius, it's zero degrees and water freezes.
00:04:03.000 Fahrenheit's 32 degrees.
00:04:06.000 But let me ask you once again.
00:04:07.000 We're talking about scales, right?
00:04:09.000 And we're using a scale in which we perceive the atmosphere.
00:04:12.000 That's the only thing we care about the temperature for, and we all accept that.
00:04:15.000 Why would you have a scale in which you need minus numbers to go off the scale?
00:04:19.000 So, with Fahrenheit, you could say it's 32 degrees outside.
00:04:21.000 Oh, that's cold.
00:04:22.000 Oh, it's 15 degrees outside.
00:04:24.000 That's really cold.
00:04:25.000 But it's never going to get to really minus, is it?
00:04:27.000 It's never going to be.
00:04:28.000 It might be like 4 degrees, which is minus in the Celsius world.
00:04:31.000 But in the Fahrenheit world, we just know it's very, very cold.
00:04:34.000 Why are you going to have a scale which goes from 0 to 100?
00:04:38.000 The top 7e you're never going to use.
00:04:40.000 The zero to 30 you're going to use, but then if it gets cold, you have to go off the scale.
00:04:45.000 Does that make sense to you, Lou?
00:04:47.000 You're making good arguments.
00:04:48.000 So, can you agree that Fahrenheit makes more sense than Fahrenheit?
00:04:53.000 When's the last time you took the temperature of anything ever?
00:04:57.000 It's true only for the weather.
00:04:59.000 So, I'm right.
00:05:00.000 So, Fahrenheit's better than Celsius.
00:05:02.000 Do we now agree?
00:05:03.000 I think I agree.
00:05:04.000 No, you have convinced me.
00:05:05.000 I've convinced you.
00:05:06.000 Fahrenheit's the best.
00:05:08.000 You convinced me.
00:05:09.000 Right, we're going to Cheyenne.
00:05:11.000 Nice.
00:05:11.000 Yeah.
00:05:12.000 From Dubai to Cheyenne.
