| 0:00.0 | What ridiculous event made you believe that we live in a simulation. I found a random orange on the |
| 0:06.4 | street while walking to school. I picked it up and tossed it down a driveway and it landed right |
| 0:10.9 | up against a car's back tire. When I was walking home, the car backed out of the driveway, |
| 0:15.5 | and as it drove over the orange, it sprayed all over me. Now that is some final destination crap. I drove to the park to go running. I used my cell phone as a GPS. When I was done, I put my phone on the top of my car and spent a few minutes stretching. Then I got in my car and drove home. On the way home, driving about 35 with the window down, I took a turn, and the cell phone slid off the roof of my car and |
| 0:37.9 | into my open window bouncing off my arm and landing in my lab. I never told anyone because |
| 0:43.1 | I just didn't think they'd believe me. In 2007, I read The Four-Hour Work Week by Tim Ferriss. |
| 0:50.1 | The book inspired me to quit my job and move to Uruguay. On route to Uruguay, I got in line to get my passport stamped, |
| 0:56.6 | and the guy in line directly in front of me was Tim Ferriss on his way to Uruguay for the first time. |
| 1:02.3 | I introduced myself and told him his book inspired my life change. |
| 1:06.0 | We had a nice three-minute conversation while standing in line. |

| 1:10.4 | In the middle of making an omelette, |
| 1:12.2 | I answered the door while holding a whole egg. It turned out to be my new neighbor, asking if she |
| 1:17.1 | could borrow an egg. The look of confusion on her face when I produced one on the spot was only |
| 1:21.5 | matched by my own. She took it and left without saying a word. It was super weird. You should |
| 1:27.2 | have reached behind her ear and pulled |
| 1:28.7 | out the egg magician style. The work I used to do required me to carry a lot of keys. At the end of my |
| 1:36.0 | shift, every day I'd go and hang up my keys on a cup hook, but as I entered the room, I'd toss them |
| 1:40.7 | over to the board with the hooks, trying to get them to land on the hook. And every day |
| 1:44.5 | the keys would miss and fall to the floor, I'd retrieve them and hang them and sit and do my paperwork. |
| 1:50.0 | One day at the end of my shift, I was a bit later than usual, and the supervisors were in the room. |
| 1:54.8 | Again, I tossed my keys, and they hooked this time. All of the supervisors were stunned, |
