  • LYDIC: Time.

  • It flies when you're having fun,

  • but it also killed Peepaw.

  • Every March and November, we try to control it.

  • Daylight Saving Time is about to begin.

  • Remember, we fall back tomorrow night. Set the clocks back.

  • MAN: Springing forward, and I hate it.

  • WOMAN: That one hour...

  • LYDIC: Why do we change our clocks?

  • And does it do more harm than good?

  • Well, as I found out,

  • if you screw with time...

  • Who are you?

  • ...it just might screw you back.

  • Arizona-- it's one of America's

  • top states... alphabetically,

  • but more importantly, their clocks play by their own rules.

  • WOMAN: Arizona

  • has opted out of Daylight Saving Time.

  • LYDIC: They stick to Standard Time all year, so I'm here

  • in cactus country to find out

  • how these time bandits can even function

  • living outside of normal time.

  • How has living without Daylight Saving Time

  • completely messed up your life?

  • I feel like everybody else is all messed up,

  • because I've never turned my clock back.

  • I never have to worry about it.

  • I guess it's like the Wild West?

  • Does that explain your mustache?

  • I don't know what explains this.

  • I love the fact that I don't have to worry

  • about changing the clocks.

  • Don't you feel like you're missing out, being

  • an hour behind the rest of the country?

  • No, that's all right.

  • We'll catch up.

  • You won't catch up.

  • You're always an hour behind.

  • Oh. Yeah.

  • I don't see it as living in the past.

  • I only see it as living in the present.

  • It's their future and not my past

  • 'cause my past is then...

  • their past.

  • I'm sorry. What?

  • Arizonans seemed happy with their own time laws,

  • not to mention their access to primo desert drugs.

  • But if they were unaffected by not changing their clocks,

  • why do the rest of us do it?

  • I sat down with clock blocker Scott Yates who's on a mission

  • to permanently stop clock changing.

  • I'm the leader of the Lock the Clock movement.

  • Trying to stop people from having

  • -to change the clocks twice a year. -But isn't it

  • a good thing to set the clocks forward an hour

  • and gain that extra hour of sunlight?

  • People, in general, like that extra hour of sunlight,

  • but for some people, it's really deadly.

  • Traffic accidents go up, strokes, heart attacks.

  • More people actually just die

  • in the few days after the spring forward time change.

  • Wow. I guess, for some people, time is up.

  • (laughs)

  • Solid jokes aside,

  • if this is literally killing people,

  • there has to be a good argument for it.

  • There really isn't any argument

  • to change the clock twice a year.

  • Well, no, there is. The farmers.

  • No, the whole story about the farmers--

  • it's the biggest PR con job ever.

  • The farmers have always been against changing the clocks

  • for Daylight Saving Time, and they've been like,

  • "Hey, stop blaming us. We don't have anything to do with this."

  • The old blame-the-farmer trope.

  • "No, honey, I did not have sex with my yoga instructor.

  • It was the farmer." (laughs)

  • -"Who I had sex with." -Yeah.

  • Why do we even have Daylight Savings Time?

  • Or is it "Daylights Saving Times"?

  • Daylight

  • -Saving Time. No "S"s. -Savings Times.

  • -Daylight Saving Time. -Got it.

  • -Daytime Save Light Time. -Well,

  • it was first proposed here in the United States

  • by a retailer that found that if there's more sunlight,

  • people would have more time to shop.

  • -This all started from a retailer? -Well,

  • he came up with the name "Daylight Saving Time,"

  • but it actually started during World War I.

  • The Germans started doing it, and then, the Brits,

  • and then, the U.S. fell into it after that.

  • It was called "War Time."

  • Such a German thing to do, to make people lose an hour.

  • After the war, we stopped doing it

  • because everybody hated it.

  • And then, in the 60s,

  • the golf industry became a really big industry.

  • So golf lobbyists were able to convince politicians

  • that we should have Daylight Saving Time

  • so that there's more time to play golf after work.

  • -Wait. The golf lobby? -Yeah, that's right.

  • They make hundreds of millions of dollars for every extra month

  • that the country is in Daylight Saving Time.

  • And then, the candy lobbyists went to Congress and said,

  • we should have Daylight Saving Time extend

  • into the first weekend of November, and that way,

  • -on Halloween, they can sell more candy. -(kids cheering)

  • All right, War Time, golfers, and now candy men

  • are the reason behind DST? Where does that leave us now?

  • Things are actually really improving.

  • There's a bill that has both Republican and Democrat support

  • to actually make a change to the law

  • so that the states can go on permanent Daylight Saving Time.

  • So it's a bipartisan issue?

  • -It's totally bipartisan. -Wow.

  • I don't think I've ever heard that from anybody before.

  • Well, the basic idea of time is really just an agreement.

  • We all have to come together to decide when 10:00 a.m. is.

  • And that agreement shouldn't kill people.

  • Time is an agreement?

  • What even is time?

  • When is time?

  • Who is time?

  • Why is time?

  • (quietly): Oh!

  • What?!

  • Uh, can I go now?

  • LYDIC: The deeper I traveled into Daylight Saving,

  • the deeper I got lost in what time even was.

  • Time is a construct.

  • (echoing): Right? Right?

  • Time is... It's now. It's before.

  • (echoing): It's later. Later.

  • I'm-I'm in their past,

  • (echoing): but it's my future. Future.

  • LYDIC: And if some states change the clocks,

  • and Arizona doesn't,

  • could space and time invert on themselves?

  • Who are you?

  • Better question is: When am I?

  • -Future Me? -Yeah.

  • I'm you during Daytime Save Light Time.

  • Hold on a second. This is me in an hour?

  • Yeah. This whole changing-the-clock thing

  • is really (bleep) up.

  • (whispers): Goddamn it.

  • If we would just lock the clocks, this whole thing

  • BOTH: would never happen.

  • Ah, yes, the McFly Paradox.

  • I knew exactly what to ask me.

  • You want to 69?

  • Yeah, okay.

  • Either America needs to lock the clocks,

  • or I need to stop doing peyote on work trips.

  • (cheering, applause)

LYDIC: Time.
