0:00.0 | What's the worst damage you've caused? |
0:02.0 | I myself may not have caused that much material damage, |
0:06.0 | but a friend of mine told me the other day how one late night he drove a van into a parking garage in a hotel in Barcelona, |
0:14.0 | and got stuck under the roof. |
0:16.0 | Upon reversing the car, all of the roof tiles on that level came down in a chain reaction. They buried |
0:22.1 | all the cars that were parked on that level. Obviously, nobody could leave the next morning, |
0:26.7 | which resulted in a lot of compensation claims for missed flights and business meetings, |
0:31.3 | besides all the damage that was done to the garage and many cars. It took a bunch of lawyers |
0:36.1 | and insurance companies four years to get it |

1:04.5 | Oops. |
1:05.2 | Your friend's dad has terrible taste in real estate. |
1:08.3 | He lives in a goddamn boulder stuck in a pool. I erected a tower |
1:12.7 | crane with the base that was improperly engineered. Two months later, it fell, collapsing one |
1:17.5 | building, damaging two others, killing one man, injuring the operator, and shutting down the job. |
1:23.9 | I think the ballpark financial end was around $20 million in damages, and it's all undisclosed. |
1:30.3 | I wasn't the reason that there was a failure, but that damage was ridiculous. |
1:34.3 | Trip to Spain with my high school, beer, plus dishwashing soap, plus giant fountain in the middle of a town equals chaos. |
