Taking advantage of my true fossilā„¢, like seriously truly old fart status;
(because this isnā€™t exactly on topic, but iā€™ve had this thought since i saw the office tour and was now reminded again)

One day i want a lvl1 vid where Wendell shows us his home. I mean iā€™m expecting some truly glorious, awe-inspiring levels of hoarding right from the getgo, the audience stupefied well before we reach his storage room.
This is a must. Make it happen sir.
