I'm a terrible dancer.
He's like, no, I literally can't because I have...
$30,000 worth of gold strapped to my leg.
And I was like, okay, first of all, why?
And he's like, well, I just came from the airport, but also I don't want to leave this in my hotel room and it only has a really crappy safe.
And I just flew in from Sierra Leone or something like that.
I was like, okay, still wondering why you have gold strapped to your leg.
He's like, places like that, you never know what you're going to need when you're going to need it.
If you have to escape a place like that, you don't have time to go back to your house and get stuff because chances are your house is on fire and has already been raided by a militia.
So he's like, I always keep this gold strapped to my leg even when I'm sleeping because I don't want it to get stolen because it's worth like 30 grand.
this kilo of gold or whatever it is.
And I was like, why do you live there?
And he's like, well, I'm mining for coltan.
And I was like, you're mining for coltan?
What is that for?
And he explains how it's in cell phones and stuff.
Bear in mind, this is like 2009, so I'd never heard of rare earth minerals or whatever any of these things are, rare earth elements.
And he explains how it's in every phone, every electronic device.
And I was like, you're a miner?
That seems like a really bad, unhealthy thing to do.
