The premise
Here’s the bit.
Three middle-aged contestants sit around a campfire and complain about the practicalities of keeping the lights on. One father dismisses his daughter’s claim that modern LED bulbs no longer need replacing. His insistence that nothing lasts gives the conversation an unexpectedly bleak edge, leaving the men to contemplate a lot more than household maintenance.
