BTS Footage from the miseducation episode
🕑 Added 2023-09-13 20:44:31 +0000 UTCDuring one of our shoot days, we walked past an elementary school with a dumpster out front. It was FULL of perfectly functional desks and chairs. We grabbed one to use as a prop, and then were immediately conscripted into about half an hour of dumpster diving. Check it out, and check out our latest episode if you haven't already.

I wonder if the chairs are actually going to Africa. I’m a bit dubious that the price of shipping 40 chairs would be worth it from an economic standpoint, but fuck do I know about shipping 30-40 chairs. Rollie, use your climate science masters degree to calculate whether the environmental impact of shipping 40 chairs to Africa outweighs the benefits of manufacturing new ones in Africa

Now I gotta find some oil wells to stay away from. And... to anyone with the last name "Wells" how strong is the temptation to burden your offspring with something dubious like "This is my daughter Water Wells" or "we named our child Deep Wells" Maybe just Hans Doug Wells? Dammit first post and I'm already off topic. Fun B-roll.

This is fantastic. I have had this tab open for several days, but finally watching it was such a wonderful surprise. Very satisfied Patreon supporter!

Ok so I will say the idea of students sitting in chairs at desks all day does belong in the trash (which is probably why this happened). The school was probably rightfully moving to something different because desks/chairs are terrible for the health of the students, but yeah this is super wasteful and they should have found something better to do with them than landfill them.

This has as much to do with being "BTS" as it has to do with the Korean pop group, BTS.
Chris Burton
And if the school wants to get rid of them, do a fundraising auction or something. Throwing usable stuff away is dumb.

NO THAT'S THE OPPOSITE!

Hahaha the ultimate easter egg
Pull up the roots
Anyone else feel strangely tempted to play near an oil well?

Hey. Just joined your Patreon! You profile pic looks like you are giving the double thumbs down giving out definite negative vibes, but upon looking closer you are holding on to the curtains. If anything, you are no doubt a double thumbs up kinda guy. Just sayin'.....

It always bugs me when 'throw away' is the default without ever an attempt to 'give away'.
John Orr
I still laugh when I think about you describing your patreon content as the "stuff that's not good enough to be free"

I love how this happens to practically anybody that spontaneously helps out in a moment like this - another half an hour and they would've given you a high-vis
Marnie Williams
Stay away from oil, WELL?
Cap'n Galactic
I'm still going to play at the oil well.

30 or 40, apparently
Timmer O'Phelan
How many chairs could Africa possibly need?
CB
That guy sure found a big basket of Easter eggs!
Ryan O'Connell
This is a great BTS. I like how fast it went from 30-40 chairs to "You want all of them" :D

Look at all that plastic the oil companies tell you aren't any good anymore.
Tom Skadow
Throwing perfectly good stuff out to fill the landfill. Only in America.
Meredith F.
Really nice thing you did! Glad to see so many perfectly good chairs saved from the landfill.
LavaHot
They've ruined that acronym
Marye Phillips
dammit the title made me think you did a collab with the Korean boy band
