00:00But I would get results instantly with that song, because that one was really, I had to be real careful
00:07about that, because Gary is more of a metaphor, a Gary-o-type, so to speak.
00:13Yes, a Gary-o-type. I love all the Gary puns that have come from the song Gary.
00:17I'm Gary, sorry. It will continue. But yeah, I had to start with a metaphor that everybody could relate to.
00:30You don't really know, because I had this experience with the Garys. I started to basically think of Gary as
00:39a subspecies, a human, like a Gary as an organism, not so much just a name for a person, because
00:49it was, to me, more of a stereotype, or a Gary-o-type, so to speak.
00:54And so if you could classify that organism, how would you do that? And that's how I approach Gary, is
01:03almost like, kind of like how Jane Goodall would approach a chimpanzee or something, kind of like studying the Garys
01:11in the wild.
01:11Because, you know, the Garys are going extinct, and we tend to, like, you know, if you watch Nat Geo,
01:19they tend to really hyper-focus on animals that are rare, not the ones that you see all the time.
01:27They really go out and look for the endangered species, or the almost extinct one.
01:34And it feels like Gary is like an endangered or almost extinct character, organism, whatever you want to look at
01:40it as.
01:41I think we could classify him as endangered, for sure. And where I come from, the Garys are very important.
01:47Gary important.
01:48And they, you know, every Gary I know just knows how to fix something. It's just, they're just kind of
01:55born with this kind of natural, mechanical inclination, so to speak.
02:01And so I went around the world and basically had this hypothesis about the Garys.
02:09And in every laboratory, I'd have this, someone come up, like, you're, I know exactly who you're talking about.
02:16Like, his name is Gary, or he's my uncle. This is his picture. Or he's no longer with us. And
02:22you're right.
02:22They're, you know, if, you know, if you can show me like a 10-year-old Gary, like, that's the
02:28challenge I give to the audience.
02:30Like, present him to me.
02:31Yeah.
02:32And we will bubble wrap him.
02:34Exactly.
02:34Or, like, somebody start raising another generation of Garys, I think is also, like, the message that you want to
02:41send to people.
02:42Yeah, we're going to need him. It's really important because, like, technology and everything is cool, but when your septic
02:49tank blows, I mean, there's, your iPhone ain't going to do nothing about it.
02:53No, exactly.
