BONUS EPISODE

AYYYYYY, thanks so much for having me on the pod! Sorry to drag David’s mom's house into so many metaphors.
-
UNDERRATED COLLAB. 100% didn't expect this. Shoutouts to the team for connecting with Rollie.
-
I love Climate Town!! What a fun cross over!!
-
This is one collaboration I never would have expected!! Big fan of both of your channels.
-
This crossover seems so obvious in retrospect, but it truly feels like one of those moments where you bump into two people and go, "Wait, you KNOW each other??" Diving into this right now!
-
Rollie should become a recurring guest of the show every time a tech company comes out with some big 'sustainability' news.

Fun fact: I was one of the engineers tasked with doing a hydraulic analysis of the Niagara River leading up to Niagara Falls (they were replacing a pedestrian bridge on the American side). Power plants from both America and Canada take a certain amount of flow each day from the river to power lots of things. To make Niagara Falls look nice, during peak visiting hours (weekends during the summer) these plants don't take any flow from the water. We had to account for this in our analysis of the worst case scenario (in terms of volume of water). Thought it was kind of interesting.

These extra episodes are spoiling me and I love it and thank the team 🙌🏽
-
you have no idea how much I love you for having Rollie on here. that's basically my dad right there

I work at an Amazon warehouse and was asked to help out for 40 minutes at this place where packages needs a human touch to make sure they are placed onto the conveyor label side up. The amount of single item, plastic shopping bags I’ve seen, in that short amount of time. Should be illegal. I always knew how much plastic bags Amazon goes through but to see it first hand, I was stunned
-
I've always been troubled by the fact that when tech reviewers recommend a product to buy they're almost never talk about the ethics and impact of the company that make them as well as their repair ability and companies attitudes to sustainability etc. I've worked as an ethical IT purchaser for government and business for many many years and do not understand why tech reviews seem to refuse to inform their audiences of the ethical side of their recommendations. Recommending you buy a product based on its features alone without considering the environmental sustainable and repairability aspects just seems wrong.....
-
Find an excuse to bring Rollie back! Love the episode and discussion!!
-

Long term MKBHD/Waveform fan, found Climate Town just this year. A mixture of two great things! Just started listening to The Climate Denier's Playbook podcast and highly recommend it!

Rollie is my hero man. So funny and so intelligent. The way he fuses teaching and comedy is a true gift.
