Brushfire Video
The Brushfire Video (officially Male Idiot tries to put out fire, and Sits There. Someone, please call 911 for Flintstone Drive!) is a video uploaded by Chris to YouTube on 6 November 2014. The video was posted during a string of rants on Facebook that Chris made while observing a man on a bulldozer trying to put out a very small brushfire accidentally occurring near his house.
Note that the long title of the video accidentally reveals the address of his Rental House.
The video is shot in better quality than his usual standards, apparently made using the YouTube Capture app on his iPhone, but that's not saying much as the video quality continually changes, and is quite possibly one of the shakiest videos he has made this side of Sonichu's Edge.
Chris thought that his detractors wouldn't find the video by putting it in "Unlisted" mode on YouTube. This backfired spectacularly.
Summary
This video mostly consists of footage of the brushfire, shot through a window, while Chris talks loudly to his mom and makes a stupid impression of the guy on the bulldozer every now and then. Note that Chris is not one to talk regarding fires. The crunching and plinking sounds implies that the video was shot rather nonchalantly during lunch.

Transcript
[A view out of a window onto a backhoe and a burning pile of dirt, Chris sits in silence while music plays]
[About a minute and a half in Barb is heard]
Barb: 'you watching the <unintelligible>?
Chris: Yeah, and I'm Recording it on my iPod... video. [Chris clears his throat] Yeah, you see wha- you see he moved his... shovel back and he's looking like he's trying- he's either stokin' it or he's trying to put it out.
Barb: <unintelligible>
Chris: Well, he could try covering it with the dirt, that-a what's- that's what'e's looks what he's doing right now.
[More silence, one of the window blinds blades falls in front of the iPod's camera several times, Chris quickly moves it out of the way making grunting noises as he does]
Barb: He's trying to put dirt over it, he's starting to put it out.
Chris: You looked from downstairs, or outside?
Barb: <unintelligible>smoke's<unintelligible>
Chris: Yeah...

Chris: Hey, Snoopy. This can go on YouTube; shoveling male idiot tries to put out a fire... surrounding a forest and... a neighborhood.

And look at this now, [Chris does a different, equally stupid voice] he road away from the damn fire...[normal voice]no wait, [stupid voice again] he's turnin' around
[A cell phone starts ringing in the background]
Chris: Oh, now what? I'm no-
[Jump cut, the camera now focuses on the window screen making everything outside blurry]
[A dog howls]
Chris: [Chris does the first stupid voice again] I'm drivin' away, yep, I stoked the fire and now I'm driving away. I'm an idiot or somthin', look at me. I'm drivin' away from the fire after I darn stoked it. And the wi-[Chris's voice changes back to normal mid word]-nd is heavy over here, I can feel it!
