So anyway, uh do 0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:15.360 do looking out my front door at these Elon Musk 0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:16.880 at this Elon Musk ship. 0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:17.960 So we switched at the c. 0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:25.840 Yeah you know what this episode it's all creepy baby, 0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:31.200 not a fan Cody, that's fine. How do you feel 0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:31.880 out the Eagles? 0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:33.920 How do you feel about what. 0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:37.000 I think? 0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:38.160 I think? 0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:38.400 Uh? 0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:40.400 C CR is fine. 0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:43.720 I mean I've never heard of a more fortunate son 0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:44.959 than Elon Musk. 0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:49.880 Oh. Oh, there we go. We're in business now, baby, 0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:55.799 Hell yeah, there we go. Perfect. So when we left off, 0:02:55.919 --> 0:03:00.200 our hero had decided to prevent Twitter from paying its 0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:03.720 janitors for work that they had already provided after or 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:09.320 before being fired again, potentially a crime in essence, it 0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:12.640 quickly became clear to Killian who's the person who replaced 0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:15.400 the last person whose job it was to pay for 0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:18.600 rent and stuff? That Musk's intended method of operation was 0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:21.360 to obtain services from vendors without any intention of keeping 0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:25.440 the agreements or paying for services requested and received. Killian's 0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:27.880 concern that Musk truly intended to apply this approach to 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:31.480 Twitter's rent obligations was confirmed the last time on December ninth, 0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:35.600 twenty twenty two, when Mendozas specifically informed Killian that Musk 0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:38.360 had decided Twitter would no longer be paying rent globally. 0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:42.360 Globally Yeah, and again, Mendoza is one of these people 0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:44.160 from I think the boring company. It's one of those 0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:46.320 folks that it's one of the people that he brought 0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:50.680 in to manage stuff. Who isn't that guy's girlfriend very 0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:56.120 funny living in the office with their infant? AWO, Just like, 0:03:56.200 --> 0:03:56.920 where are they putting? It? 0:03:57.200 --> 0:03:59.800 Is the biggest crib like a desk drawer, and there's 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:00.720 on the pullout. 0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:04.240 It has to have been right. I spent a lot 0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:09.160 of time in and around, like the California medical marijuana industry, 0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:12.280 which is a pretty sketchy business, but like the working 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:16.279 standards at Twitter sound a lot worse. Absolute good stuff. 0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:18.719 Yeah places at least. 0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:23.880 Yeah, yeah, there was free weed for people. Usually when 0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:27.240 somebody got murdered, you didn't know them very well. You know, 0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:31.360 a lot of benefits of that over over Twitter. So 0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:35.839 uh yeah, Killian was like I it tried to convince 0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:39.599 Musk via his lieutenant Mendoza that like they were putting 0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:42.080 the company in tremendous jeopardy and that they wouldn't be 0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:45.280 able to renegotiate any of their leases if they defaulted 0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:49.160 on rent, which makes sense. Mendoza in response, tells him 0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:52.039 that Muska decided Twitter would only pay rent over his 0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:58.719 dead body. Hey this next, pert, Cody. I got to 0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:01.840 read this to you, guys. Mendoza conveyed that Musk had 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:05.520 made that statement during a four a m. Conversation that day. 0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:13.760 I say, have you ever heard somebody actually use that expression? 0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:18.320 It's very hack like over my dead body. No, that's 0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:19.880 not a thing people actually say. 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:21.520 Well, he's not a creative man. 0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:24.840 No, only when people are being like silly, right, Like 0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:29.080 if somebody's like joking around, you might say that, but no, yeah, 0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:31.359 having a laugh. It's like saying I'm putting my foot 0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:33.640 down where it's like, what does that even mean? Like 0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:38.240 that that doesn't that's not how you anyway, whatever, Yeah, 0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:40.239 I've had I've said that. I've said, like I'm putting 0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:42.640 my foot down over like somebody wants to eat at 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:45.240 Windy's on a road trip and I want Popeyes, you know, 0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:53.520 but like, anyway, whatever, elon silly, fundamentally unseerious man. Musk's 0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:57.400 instructions to simply ignore Twitter's contractual obligations and forced killing 0:05:57.440 --> 0:06:00.680 to breach contracts and destroy relationships he had spent more 0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:02.839 than a decade building would have been more than enough 0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:05.560 to render it impossible for Killian or any reasonable employee 0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:07.520 to remain employed at Twitter. But that was not the 0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:10.239 only issue. Musk was also making clear that his reckless 0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:12.640 disregard included disregard for both the law and for the 0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:15.240 lives and safety of his colleagues and employees. Here we go. 0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:18.320 For example, Davis told Killian that Musk wanted to add 0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:20.760 a bathroom next to his office so MUCKs must didn't 0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:23.320 have to wakes security team and cross half the floor 0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:25.200 to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. 0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:27.359 Killian explained that it would take time to get the 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:30.279 necessary permits, but promised to begin that process right away. 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:33.599 In response, Davis instructed Killian not to bother with obtaining 0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:36.720 permits because, to paraphrase, we don't do that. We don't 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:37.880 have to follow those rules. 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:38.280 Okay. 0:06:38.560 --> 0:06:40.960 Shocked, Killian reminded Davis that if they did not get 0:06:41.000 --> 0:06:43.320 a permit, no licensed plumber would perform the work for 0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:47.039 fear of jeopardizing their license. Davis responded by instructing Killian 0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:50.760 to hire an unlicensed plumber instead, just go find it 0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:55.360 a legal plumber for Elon Musk's trime on YouTube. 0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:57.120 Man who fucking cares? 0:06:57.120 --> 0:07:01.839 Also, what an un serious, silly coward of a man 0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:04.839 who like I can't go to the bathroom in my 0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:08.919 own company offices at night without waking up a security team, 0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:11.600 Like I won't cross the floor to go take a 0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:15.040 shit without armed minu at my back. Like I'm sorry, Elon, 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:17.480 You're not in that much danger at the fucking Twitter offices. 0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:19.520 Oh wait, it was because he didn't like wait, I 0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:20.480 thought it was, like, well. 0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:23.080 The excuse was that he doesn't want to wake up 0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:24.360 his security team anyway. 0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:29.480 Well, so I'm I guess I'm confused about which stupid 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:32.200 thing he's doing. So, like, is it he doesn't want 0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:34.400 to wake them up because like, oh, they're like sleeping 0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:38.080 on my floor because I'm a maniac and like I 0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:38.760 need them there. 0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:40.040 Yeah, that's where is it? 0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:41.520 Like, well, I don't want to go down the hall 0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:43.280 because if I go down the hall, I have to 0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:45.320 wake them up so that they follow me because they're 0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:46.120 my security he. 0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:49.160 Might yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's saying that he doesn't 0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:51.720 want to have to get them up to to follow 0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:55.080 him across the floor to the bathroom. You don't, You're 0:07:55.160 --> 0:07:58.160 not just go to the bathroom, man, You're fine, Like 0:07:58.240 --> 0:07:59.880 they're tweets, they're not getting. 0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:02.480 If you don't have that king down the hall, those 0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:06.080 are technically assassination coordinates, right right, Well. 0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:09.680 Yeah, you can. You can os in your way to 0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:13.920 fucking launching a drone at him. Very funny too that 0:08:13.960 --> 0:08:17.120 he's like it's dangerous to have a bathroom put in 0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:20.600 a place without you know, going through the process to 0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:22.880 make sure it's safe to put a bathroom there. Like 0:08:22.920 --> 0:08:25.040 there's a bunch of infrastructure a bathroom needs that you 0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:29.800 can't everywhere, And the answer is like, well, put hire 0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:32.200 in a legal plumber for the boss's back. 0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:37.040 Fundamental disconnection from reality or even an understanding of basic 0:08:37.200 --> 0:08:39.480 construction or how things work. 0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:42.800 Well, and just this idea that like I don't need 0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:44.880 to abide by the rules. Well, it's like in this case, 0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:47.080 you loan the rules. You're there because like not every 0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:48.040 space can. 0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:52.000 It's not like some like oh random like red tape. 0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:59.439 Oh we do, Yeah, it's yeah. Maybe maybe like the 0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:02.480 floor underneath that bathroom isn't rated to or maybe you'd 0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:04.840 have to like cut you know, one of those beams 0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:07.080 that you're not right fit. 0:09:07.640 --> 0:09:10.760 And important to follow that kind of stuff in like 0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:11.920 an office building. 0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:16.959 But yes, look I know, I thank you. 0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:20.320 Yeah, I know a lot of people who have done 0:09:20.320 --> 0:09:24.760 their own electrician work and projects and zero percent of 0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:27.640 them should have done that. But very few of those 0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:30.679 people would have brought in an unlicensed plumber to put 0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:33.480 a bathroom in some random part of a house because 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:36.560 it's just a different risk matrix, you know, it's it's 0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:39.800 it's not smart when you're talking about especially like it's 0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:42.360 one thing if it's like a fucking trailer, like that's 0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:44.679 a single level, like when you're like, I don't know 0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:47.800 ten floors up or whatever.

Davis responded that 0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:39.240 management did not care about any of this, that they 0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:42.080 weren't interested in ensuring the work was performed in accordance 0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:44.120 with the standards required by the leafs, by the City 0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:46.839 of San Francisco, by the State of Calicifornia, or any 0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:49.880 other authority. They just wanted it done. It got worse. 0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:52.720 Musk announced via the transition team that he was going 0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:56.320 to be installing hotel rooms at twitter HQ. Killian initially 0:11:56.640 --> 0:11:59.520 was initially told that the hotel rooms soon renamed to 0:11:59.640 --> 0:12:02.559 sleep rooms to avoid triggering the suspicions of the city 0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:06.360 inspectors were just being installed to give exhausted and overworked 0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:09.320 employees at place to nap. Though the changes had initially 0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:11.920 been simple, if an orthodox removing a conference table and 0:12:11.960 --> 0:12:15.079 installing a bed, Davis instructed Killian to begin planning for 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:18.120 and implementing the addition of features like on suite bathrooms 0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:21.200 in addition to other changes to the physical plant. Concerned 0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:24.000 about how city inspectors would react to Twitter's plans, Killian 0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:26.240 emailed the transition team to note that the changes they 0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:29.040 had made thus far were limited to just furniture and 0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:32.680 therefore were code compliant, but that Twitter's future planned changes 0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:36.439 would require permits and more complicated code compliance. In response, 0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:40.840 Hollander visited him in person and that's the Steve's girlfriend 0:12:41.200 --> 0:12:43.920 and emphatically instructed him to never put anything about the 0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:48.319 project in writing. Again, that sounds yes. 0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:50.600 Sorry, this all sounds very expensive. 0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:55.920 Yeah, yeah, could you not write about any of the thing. Well, 0:12:56.080 --> 0:12:58.440 it's also like they're saying, we want to install a 0:12:58.440 --> 0:13:01.400 bunch of illegal hotel rooms. Don't put in any and 0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:04.040 he like writes back, why this is not legal, and 0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:06.760 they're like, don't put stuff about this in writing, and 0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:12.520 then Hollander appeared surprised and distressed that Kellyan did not 0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:15.480 inherently understand that this was not a project for which 0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:19.160 Musk and the Transition team wanted a written record, and 0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:22.040 she was particularly angry that he had sent an email 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:26.199 about it, which is it's yeah, it's that people just don't. 0:13:26.040 --> 0:13:29.320 Understand this whole situation. He sounds like a real bad 0:13:29.360 --> 0:13:32.200 moon rising. I had to throw one in here. If 0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:33.920 we're still doing it, that. 0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:36.920 Was that was good. I mean, I guess we are 0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:38.080 because because you just. 0:13:38.200 --> 0:13:43.280 You just did it or I'm sorry, Yeah, is that 0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:44.840 that's not if. 0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:46.640 There's a one that there's not that there just aren't 0:13:46.640 --> 0:13:47.600 that many that we all know. 0:13:50.559 --> 0:13:52.960 No, I I I I agree. 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:57.800 He wants save money. That's what I'm saying. 0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:02.000 That's what I'm trying to by doing all the projects 0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:04.840 so people don't have to say it, right, But I'm 0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:09.760 just saying, like this whole thing was about saving money 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:14.400 and firing people and all these hoops, just the times, 0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:18.280 there's just a massive amount of wasted money getting thrown 0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:21.720 at these projects, at these ideas theory. 0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:24.800 Yeah, yeah, I mean it does seem like a huge 0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:27.440 a huge waste of money, or at least you know. 0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:32.040 I heard that through the grape vine. There we go. 0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:35.600 How you doing there, Cody, I'm happy with this, hugging 0:14:35.880 --> 0:14:37.360 the direction that this series does. 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:39.120 I guess I'm. 0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:44.760 Okay, there we go. That's definitely a credent song. 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:46.200 I'm on board. 0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:48.880 It's a lot of It's a lot easier to do 0:14:48.920 --> 0:14:54.960 this if you just make up. When the city inspectors 0:14:54.960 --> 0:14:57.480 came to inspect the hotel rooms, they expressed surprise and 0:14:57.520 --> 0:15:00.320 relief to Chillian, saying this is just furniture. Weeks afected 0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:03.520 more drastic changes as instructed by the transition team. Killeen 0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:05.720 did not tell the inspectors of the future plans to 0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:08.760 expand the changes to the sleeping rooms, but he realized 0:15:08.760 --> 0:15:11.120 with growing unease that his silence was effectively a lie 0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:13.000 of a mission, and one that would be undeniable and 0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:15.600 obvious once the planned changes had been completed in the 0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:18.520 near future. Killeen began to understand that his loyalty to 0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:20.640 Twitter and his desire to protect the company he loved 0:15:20.640 --> 0:15:22.840 from musk in the transition team was going to be 0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:25.920 increasingly challenged by his employer's expectation that he would lie, 0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:28.080 to fraud and even break the law. In Musk's direction, 0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:32.400 Killeen was soon instructed to circumvent the landlord's lighting control system, 0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:35.760 which was most insensitive in compliance with California's Title twenty 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:38.520 four Energy Code, because the lights were bothering people living 0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:40.520 in the hotel rooms. When there's small movements at night 0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:46.160 would trigger the lights. So he submitted a request to 0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:49.360 this for the landlord, and the landlord said no because 0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:52.680 he's this is a requirement because it's not a living area, 0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:56.480 it's an office. Yeah. When the landlord denied Twitter's request, 0:15:56.600 --> 0:15:59.680 Killeen was instructed to disconnect the lighting himself, which was 0:15:59.760 --> 0:16:02.000 not safe, in which he was not qualified to do so. 0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:05.120 Musk did ask him to do electrical work without any 0:16:05.120 --> 0:16:10.240 sort of training or knowledge. That, yeah, that's the good stuff. Yeah, 0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:13.120 living live in the cool zone life. Look, Killian, you know, 0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:16.080 hit us up. I'll give you a half price copy 0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:20.000 of my guide to Home electrical Work. You know, teaches 0:16:20.080 --> 0:16:21.920 you how to uh, how to put a double tap 0:16:22.000 --> 0:16:24.360 in your own breaker, so you can run an arc 0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:27.640 welder in your basement or your living room or your bedroom. 0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:30.400 Why not weld in your bedroom? There's no reason in 0:16:30.480 --> 0:16:34.000 your shower. You No, mattresses can't catch on fire. Yeah, 0:16:34.120 --> 0:16:39.160 a shower if you've never welded it, Ah, God, shower welding, 0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:42.920 shower beer and a shower welder. That's a good afternoon. 0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:47.960 A water bed in every office grade wire. 0:16:48.320 --> 0:16:54.280 And a welder next to every water bed. 0:16:55.080 --> 0:16:58.600 The Midnight Special. Okay, go ahead, coachya. 0:16:58.760 --> 0:17:00.920 No, Yeah, that's that is they are asking him to 0:17:00.960 --> 0:17:02.000 do the midnight specially. 0:17:01.960 --> 0:17:05.560 They are ask him to the Midnight Special. I find 0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:10.280 this obviously it's very funny. But so he's cutting all 0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:12.840 these corners and do it like you just like all 0:17:12.920 --> 0:17:18.600 the fraud and the lying and the bucking regulation for 0:17:18.960 --> 0:17:22.120 like you know, legitimate safety like concerns and stuff like that. 0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:26.240 He also owns like a car company and like builds 0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:30.159 rockets and stuff. And it feels like maybe this is 0:17:30.200 --> 0:17:34.400 an indication that that kind of approach and culture might 0:17:34.440 --> 0:17:38.360 be a part of these other companies where things and 0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:40.000 like safety are even more of a. 0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:43.439 Concern m and have been a problem. 0:17:43.480 --> 0:17:47.560 You're having a problem, and maybe they're hiding information that 0:17:47.680 --> 0:17:49.920 they're doing this at these other companies too. 0:17:51.760 --> 0:17:55.200 Yeah, you would expect this to cause like a serious 0:17:55.440 --> 0:17:58.720 problem for his other companies like this kind of attitude 0:17:58.760 --> 0:18:01.879 towards safety that's been really demonstrated at Twitter. You'd expect 0:18:01.880 --> 0:18:04.080 this to have caused him a problem like someday, but 0:18:04.200 --> 0:18:07.040 someday never comes seems to it's another. 0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:08.520 God. 0:18:16.480 --> 0:18:20.119 Mmm mmm yeah, that's the good stuff. That's the good stuff. 0:18:20.680 --> 0:18:27.840 M okay, okay, So yeah. 0:18:27.760 --> 0:18:32.200 Killian no no no, no, mm hmm. 0:18:32.440 --> 0:18:36.080 So Achillian objects to doing electrical work that he does 0:18:36.119 --> 0:18:39.920 not know how to do, and this Steve's girlfriend berates 0:18:40.000 --> 0:18:43.000 him for refusing to do the work himself. She was 0:18:43.040 --> 0:18:45.199 not satisfied until he brought her in and had her 0:18:45.200 --> 0:18:47.440 look into the drop ceiling and see what the electrical 0:18:47.440 --> 0:18:50.320 system looked like, to understand that he could not safely 0:18:50.359 --> 0:18:53.479 do the work himself, and to be like, look at this, 0:18:53.640 --> 0:18:55.800 what do you what do you expect me to do? 0:18:56.160 --> 0:18:58.840 I'm like a building manager. I'm not supposed to be 0:18:58.880 --> 0:18:59.240 doing this. 0:19:01.359 --> 0:19:03.520 Yeah, just a guy. 0:19:03.240 --> 0:19:06.600 Like yeah, he's just a dude. He's like, I don't 0:19:06.680 --> 0:19:09.000 know how to do Look, this is dangerous. If I 0:19:09.040 --> 0:19:11.879 start messing around here, we're all gonna be on the graveyard. 0:19:13.119 --> 0:19:14.680 That's another it's another creat man. 0:19:14.720 --> 0:19:16.400 As long as I could see the light. 0:19:19.640 --> 0:19:20.600 That's another one. 0:19:21.480 --> 0:19:23.960 What a good bit. I just am watching the light 0:19:24.119 --> 0:19:27.280 die in Cody's eyes every time we do this. Another song, 0:19:27.320 --> 0:19:30.160 It's fine Caught between a rock and a hard place. 0:19:30.200 --> 0:19:33.600 That's not a credent song. That's part of the actual lawsuits. 0:19:33.760 --> 0:19:36.200 Killian hired an electric it does it could be a 0:19:36.280 --> 0:19:40.800 creden song, Caught between a rock and a hard place. 0:19:40.880 --> 0:19:43.800 Killy and hired an electrician to disconnect these rooms independently, 0:19:43.840 --> 0:19:46.320 putting Twitter in a violation of both the building code 0:19:46.359 --> 0:19:49.479 and their lease. It got worse. They are writing this 0:19:49.560 --> 0:19:52.320 with a little bit of like, you know, yeah, yeah, 0:19:52.600 --> 0:19:55.639 if they didn't do a lot more. 0:19:57.320 --> 0:19:58.480 Tweep in a while, yeah. 0:19:59.600 --> 0:20:01.800 You're right, you're right. They have been avoiding that lately. 0:20:01.840 --> 0:20:04.159 Maybe they got a copy editor for like the last 0:20:04.280 --> 0:20:07.760 quarter of this. Yeah, that's really where you'll want the 0:20:07.800 --> 0:20:11.760 extra polish bother people at the beginning, and then slowly like, 0:20:11.800 --> 0:20:13.600 oh wait, I don't hate this anymore. 0:20:14.920 --> 0:20:15.120 Yeah. 0:20:15.200 --> 0:20:18.040 Yeah. That's how you draw in readers by irritating them. 0:20:18.800 --> 0:20:22.320 That's that's every writer's trick. That's why the stand. The 0:20:22.359 --> 0:20:25.760 stand just opens with Stephen King talking about his taxes 0:20:25.760 --> 0:20:29.399 for nineteen sixty eight. Really laying out his deductions. Then 0:20:29.440 --> 0:20:32.080 they get into that plague. You know, once he's once, 0:20:32.080 --> 0:20:35.840 he's got you. Okay, this actually, this next part's pretty 0:20:35.840 --> 0:20:39.159 fucking egregious. Killian was instructed to install space heaters and 0:20:39.200 --> 0:20:42.399 the hotel rooms, and further violation of Twitter's lease. Killeen 0:20:42.480 --> 0:20:45.000 was also instructed to place locks on the hotel room doors, 0:20:45.040 --> 0:20:46.920 a request that thus betrayed the lie that they were 0:20:47.280 --> 0:20:51.640 intended to be temporary rest spaces for exhausted tweaks. Yeah, 0:20:51.680 --> 0:20:55.760 California code required locks that automatically disengage when the building's 0:20:55.760 --> 0:20:59.040 fire suppression systems are triggered. Killian was repeatedly told that 0:20:59.080 --> 0:21:02.840 compliant locks were too expensive and instructed to immediately install 0:21:02.960 --> 0:21:05.280 cheaper locks. That we're not a compliant with life safety 0:21:05.320 --> 0:21:07.560 and negress code. So the law was like, if you 0:21:07.560 --> 0:21:09.760 have a lock on a door in an office building, 0:21:10.000 --> 0:21:13.479 it has to auto disengage if the fire suppression system. 0:21:14.040 --> 0:21:17.800 Yeah right, Otherwise you are trapping people in a room 0:21:18.200 --> 0:21:20.280 when there's a lock. 0:21:20.640 --> 0:21:21.320 That's a problem. 0:21:21.560 --> 0:21:23.600 Yeah, you don't want to you don't want to do 0:21:23.640 --> 0:21:24.720 that because. 0:21:24.480 --> 0:21:27.480 That's this man. 0:21:27.720 --> 0:21:30.960 He has the tunnel boring company and the car company 0:21:31.200 --> 0:21:34.040 and they're making these tunnels, and it's just like this 0:21:34.080 --> 0:21:37.880 theme of being stuck in a fire is seems to 0:21:38.000 --> 0:21:41.000 permeate through all of his endeavors, and I think it's alarming. 0:21:42.119 --> 0:21:48.640
