ever

y building that is tall enough to climb up there and steve is here today and he has the key who is going to be the one to climb the ladder to get whoever climbs that ladder to their death i have things to to do today my hands are brittle and weak Arkansas guys I will literally do it the day I'm filming.

Did you make a girl? I think you could do it. Clint, you are athletic. the stairwell because it belongs to the building not any of the people who rent it so it looks like a big lightbulb man I need to make sure this is a soft white even though I'm ready to go up it screw in some lightbulbs can you do it , man? I have to film this video man the video of us changing it you can't do it I can't just film you no why can't I just film you I don't know why you can't do this I'm filming dude I don't know why I always have to be the fixer around here, but no one else can do this, everyone is super busy, there are two ways we can put it against the skylight or against the wall, why not? you do i get hazard pay no it's not cool just let me check something like i feel like you're trying not to do this light bulb thing i swore to my wife and kids i'd never climb that high again i fell off a radio tower in a cruise was sam's bachelor party nico as best man thought it would be a great idea if we all took a cruise a three day trip to ensenada and back sounds like so much fun well that was until the last night we were playing trouble in the nerf terrorist city on the top deck of the cruise ship and we were in the carnival imagination i climbed the radio tower because i wanted the height advantage by the way i never in any way is a consent or an approval of this from any way, anyone who does this is an idiot, now i will explain that there is a radio tower, there is a platform about 20 feet up. it has the beacon that spins and doesn't stop there is a little ladder for a tech to climb up there i parkoured up to this ladder and then jumped and grabbed the bottom rung got up and climbed to the top of this where there was a deck and there's in things like 12 feet wide and i thought it wouldn't be a big deal if i got on that platform and as long as i stayed down and didn't stand up the thing wouldn't hit me under dee and clint started yelling at me what are you coming down from there?

That is so dangerous. I look down and say: what do you mean? It's totally fine and, as I say, it's fine. This giant thing hits me in the back. He flips me over the railing. full flip my first thought is just hold on to the railing you'll be able to hold on to the railing and you won't fall but he had so much force coming back and I just hit him and just jumped that sent me somersaulting in free fall luckily Dee was standing right there and he reached his arm out like this, I twisted my chest, I landed on his hand and then that broke some of the impact from there, I fell against the track, um so that's what happened and that's that that's what happened um no it was good it wasn't smart im lucky to be alive i passed out and all the guys thought i was dead but i woke up on my back and they were all standing around me and then they said can you feel my toes? can you feel your body and they got paramedics they took me to the infirmary the worst thing that happened was i really hurt my thumb my back was like it was broken for a while they gave me stitches in my chin um and i can't believe that's the worst thing that happened because honestly , on the way down, I was like I'm dead, I'm going to die like I am. ladder today is a glorious day for the past three months clint and ren have sneaked off to lunch on their onewheels the rest of us bipedal humans with no access to the glorious wheel device have been left here playing with our thumbs but today I'm rolling with you, that's right, it makes me happy, you do your worst cruises ever, you can only do a full time cruise or nothing at all, yeah, so you're not Tom Cruise, oh wait, wait, take it back, sorry i take it back ok ok very strong i think they are great now i can have my friends. come with me you dont ride a wheel here in minnesota we did a scooter and wheelie group ride where we all went out as a big group we rented scooters or won jumps in minnesota and it was just me ren and ivy we had our one wheeler and everyone else on scooters it was great now you can do it every time yes i think they are awesome gang scooter games.

I am a big advocate of four-wheeling in cities. the studios are fantastic when you live downtown or work outside of downtown it takes forever to get anywhere not because there is traffic but because the parking lot sucks the scooters are so much fun see for yourself there is a link on the description and don't forget we have a coupon code if you want to snag one for yourself get your car save the planet seriously have fun live a little ride a scooter your favorite memory from 2018 so far this scooter gang nick best of luck good luck good luck wendy sorry remove the light bulb you will go down safely stage two turn up the light bulb everything will be alright stage three go down ok jared i'm coming up i grabbed your hands i feel like a survivor man you got me jared so cool you know it's fun for us to use the word dry land when we set foot on dry land again because the surface of the earth is something we take for granted like being safe and home and it's not until we leave You get on that surface when you realize the inherent danger that exists all around you, which is why sailors used to use it, I mean still do, and probably why astronauts and others who leave the surface of the earth to return have this concept of solid ground and it's not something we talk about in normal life because it's just taking n of course but it's really delicate ok now i'm putting the light bulb in the socket oh yeah that's right it'll light up won't it it's like we do guys yeah it just has to heat up good now i feel like an astronaut here guys really deep down who are you well that's what there is to figure out that it is what has been forgotten to see that is the bottom of the tapestry what has been left out each one of us deep in the deepest is an act of a performance of a performance of a manifestation of the entire cosmos flickering with all their galaxy as and forever and ever whatever is beyond that god in western tradition or brahman in hindu philosophy or tao in chinese each of us really is that but we are pretending we are not and i remember being in the scaffolding job and I was like dad how do they work like this every day and he says you just get used to it actually that monologue helped a lot of things I wasn't thinking Well I hope everyone in the studio appreciates what we've accomplished here today, It's been a long time and Gideon, that's for you big boy, I mean, I have no idea what you're doing, but he dropped out of college. ok i got a three o'clock flight oh dude ok so you had a week you worked for that whole week that week is over yeah the video is over i'm done i'm done i'm done i started writing this almost exactly ago one year.
