Ray describes his Eagle Scout community service project, the 'Vial of Life' program handing elderly people tubes with medical info to store in their fridge, and how it scared and confused senior citizens who thought their organs were being harvested.
- 52:10Tim earned his Eagle Scout by age 17 or 18 after starting in cubs in first grade.
- 52:40His Eagle Scout project was called the Vial of Life Program—a tube containing medical information for elderly people in emergencies.
- 53:17Tim admits it was a horseshit project and that he wasn't building anything because he was a fat kid.
- 53:30He assembled the packets with other kids in a church and went door-to-door handing them to old people who didn't understand what they were.
- 53:58The pitch was confusing: kids tried to explain that old people should fill out the tubes for when they were about to die.
- 54:17One elderly person saw the cooler of water for the kids and thought Tim's group was there to harvest their organs, started screaming.
- 54:36A fire department official later told Tim's mom they had no idea what the Vial of Life program was.
