Volcano

I saw an ad on a telephone pole for 750 acres.

Remember the first- The volcano, the volcano, the volcano.

Volcano, right.

And this property, nobody had been able to find water in this part of Napa.

and the sea is still chewing a grandchild does not ask about the age of the twenty-five billion bombs because that story is no longer history it is the story of the grandchild's own life a story with no stopping-point that elder has no sentence about making it in time they only sit in silence and look at the sea as sea that is warm still bleached white and full neither script is prophecy both are written in the grammar of possibility not fate but in a story that contains twenty-five billion bombs it would be a fatal mistake to treat possibility as a harmless word humanity's talent for refusing to look at slow catastrophes is real it has a name and it has a history that is the substance of one final stretch of thought before all the chapters close here it is only fair to pause on a question any story about the climate deserves to face how can we be sure it was humanity's hand this planet has no shortage of heat sources and no shortage of turbulence Volcanoes erupt, the sun wavers, orbital cycles sway, and ocean currents have been changing course for millions of years without our permission.

You have other guests? Yeah, I'm sorry.

I was like, yes.

please give me dogs and then I feel like we I said this on Twitter I think we've seen a lot more of Eddie I know when Eddie went from being a firefighter to a paramedic he's been less involved in the actual emergencies but I think I think he just has had more to do the first two episodes of The Volcano that he's had in not just the last season since he became a paramedic, okay? Since before that.

I think sometimes...

I've often said I think the show has no idea what to do with Eddie.

Oh.

Which...

Hey, like, OK, I don't know how you're going to control the volcano, but like kudos to you for controlling the volcano.

Question 10.

What Hawaiian volcano, erupting on and off since 1983, is one of the most active in the world? And the answer is Kilauea.

We've got two rounds in the books and it's on to the Rumble Round.

First to shout out the answer is the winner.

Question 1.

Yeah, very much.

I'm having these flashbacks to this movie called Volcano, which was set in Los Angeles.

Yeah.

And it was just like, oh, yeah, the sulfur dioxide that, like, yeah.

Right.

Like, they kept it extremely on point.

Like, every single thing is leading up to Volcano.

And they
