This is season two, episode six, Bailey 00:00:22.179 --> 00:00:24.859 building and loan. How are you everybody? My 00:00:24.859 --> 00:00:27.839 name is Mark Maloney. I am your host alongside 00:00:27.839 --> 00:00:32.179 AK219 and Aidan spelled the right way, Aidan 00:00:32.179 --> 00:00:35.299 Maloney. How are you today? Feeling fantastic. 00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:40.219 Fantastic. We had a nice holiday, got a three 00:00:40.219 --> 00:00:43.340 -day weekend out of that. Very productive. Good. 00:00:43.420 --> 00:00:45.340 And now I'm sat down here for the Mark Mo Show 00:00:45.340 --> 00:00:47.700 and I'm feeling great. That's excellent. Yeah, 00:00:47.780 --> 00:00:51.920 I worked through Memorial Day. That's true. And 00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:55.320 so I rewarded myself by taking Today off, which 00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:58.920 is pretty great. I got sleep, which was... Today 00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:02.600 being Friday for us, Saturday for you guys listening. 00:01:02.859 --> 00:01:07.200 Absolutely. And so, yeah, my Friday's been great. 00:01:07.219 --> 00:01:10.439 I slept in, went to a coffee shop, saw a few 00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:14.340 friends there, got some work done, saw a friend, 00:01:14.359 --> 00:01:17.620 she was having a garage sale, so I stopped there, 00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:20.319 chit -chatting a little bit, might buy a couch 00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:23.079 from her. That's fun. We'll see how I desperately 00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:25.760 need one. Like, the one I have is just lumpy, 00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:27.379 and like those leather ones, where that leather 00:01:27.379 --> 00:01:30.920 just gets so dry, and it's beyond fixable now. 00:01:31.500 --> 00:01:34.170 So, it might work. It might work. We're going 00:01:34.170 --> 00:01:36.250 to see how that one goes. Could be fantastic. 00:01:36.510 --> 00:01:39.969 It could. It really could. So anyway, Mark Mo 00:01:39.969 --> 00:01:43.510 Show Podcasts. We produce new content on a weekly 00:01:43.510 --> 00:01:46.489 basis.

We'll also have some one -off interviews. 00:01:49.469 --> 00:01:53.689 I actually conducted one last night, which was 00:01:53.689 --> 00:01:57.430 funny and chaotic, and I think you guys might 00:01:57.430 --> 00:01:59.890 enjoy it. We were already talking. There's going 00:01:59.890 --> 00:02:02.480 to be a part two, maybe a part three. just because 00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:05.900 we didn't even scratch the surface yet. So I'm 00:02:05.900 --> 00:02:08.319 excited. And I hope you listen to it and check 00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:11.199 it out, all of you. It's going to be something 00:02:11.199 --> 00:02:13.400 special.

I've cursed 00:03:02.500 --> 00:03:06.400 out Siri a handful of times, and it's cathartic, 00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:08.860 but it never goes anywhere. Like, Siri's never 00:03:08.860 --> 00:03:11.020 like, oh, I'm sorry for being such a dogshit 00:03:11.020 --> 00:03:13.500 part of your telephone you paid $1 ,000 for. 00:03:14.060 --> 00:03:17.550 So, you know, kind of one -sided. Yep, I could 00:03:17.550 --> 00:03:19.629 see that.

Jeff Bezos branded ICBM headed 00:03:36.210 --> 00:03:39.189 your way. It's like, Alexa, no cancel order. 00:03:39.930 --> 00:03:43.590 Cancel order. Alexa, I'm so sorry. Yeah, we're 00:03:43.590 --> 00:03:46.610 in for that world. And maybe we deserve it. I 00:03:46.610 --> 00:03:48.050 don't know. Can't wait. We'll figure it out. 00:03:48.069 --> 00:03:50.189 I don't know if we deserve it, but... Some do. 00:03:50.189 --> 00:03:53.610 Yeah. Some do, for sure.

I can't do 00:06:49.980 --> 00:06:52.360 it. I can't do that tough It would be tough to 00:06:52.360 --> 00:06:54.420 do that, and I don't even know what accent he 00:06:54.420 --> 00:06:57.980 has That particular actor it's it's almost like 00:06:57.980 --> 00:07:00.339 a speech impediment like the what is his name 00:07:00.339 --> 00:07:05.579 porky pig or something Like it's almost the same, 00:07:05.620 --> 00:07:08.360 but it's also I don't know, it's East Coast. 00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:11.300 It's gotta be East Coast.

I mean, I don't 00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:41.800 know. Gosh, I wish I knew. Yeah. Kind of fun 00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:43.920 trivia, maybe. Yeah, like if I ever hear another 00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:46.120 human being speak that way, I'm gonna be like, 00:07:46.420 --> 00:07:50.220 dude, where are you from? I need to know. I'd 00:07:50.220 --> 00:07:53.819 like some juicy fruit. Where are you from, sir? 00:07:54.720 --> 00:08:00.040 It's like, sir, this is a Wendy's. Exactly. Okay, 00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:03.420 here we go. Here we go. in character. All right, 00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:08.319 here we go. And action. You see, if you shoot 00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:11.740 some pool with some employee here, you can come 00:08:11.740 --> 00:08:16.620 and borrow money. Where does that get us? A discontented, 00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:21.360 lazy rabble. instead of a thrifty working class 00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:24.699 and all because of a few starry -eyed dreamers 00:08:24.699 --> 00:08:27.500 like Peter Bailey stir them up and fill their 00:08:27.500 --> 00:08:32.500 heads with a lot of impossible ideas. Now I say... 00:08:32.500 --> 00:08:35.740 Just a minute. Now hold on, Mr. Potter. You're 00:08:35.740 --> 00:08:37.940 right when you say my father was no businessman. 00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:41.080 I know that. Why he ever started this cheap penny 00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:44.059 -anny building alone, I'll never know. But neither 00:08:44.059 --> 00:08:47.519 you nor anybody else could say anything against 00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:51.639 his care. because his whole life was... Why, 00:08:51.720 --> 00:08:55.120 in 25 years, the teen Uncle Billy started this 00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:58.460 thing. He never once thought of himself. Isn't 00:08:58.460 --> 00:09:00.720 that right, Uncle Billy? He didn't save enough 00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:04.139 money to send Harry to school, let alone me, 00:09:04.500 --> 00:09:06.759 but he did help a few people get out of your 00:09:06.759 --> 00:09:09.460 slums, Mr. Potter. And what's wrong with that? 00:09:09.620 --> 00:09:12.500 Why, here, you're all businessmen here. Doesn't 00:09:12.500 --> 00:09:15.440 it make them better citizens? Doesn't it make 00:09:15.440 --> 00:09:19.090 them better customers? You said, what did you 00:09:19.090 --> 00:09:22.149 say a minute ago? They had to wait and save their 00:09:22.149 --> 00:09:25.549 money before they even ought to think of a decent 00:09:25.549 --> 00:09:29.720 home? Wait, wait for what? until their children 00:09:29.720 --> 00:09:33.419 grow up and leave them until they're so old and 00:09:33.419 --> 00:09:36.240 broken down that they do you know how long it 00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:40.960 takes a working man to save $5 ,000 just remember 00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:44.679 this Mr. Potter this rabble you're talking about 00:09:44.679 --> 00:09:47.519 they they do most of the working and paying and 00:09:47.519 --> 00:09:50.299 living and dying in this community Well, is it 00:09:50.299 --> 00:09:52.679 too much to have them work and pay and live and 00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:55.679 die in a couple of decent rooms in a bath? Anyway, 00:09:55.879 --> 00:09:58.879 my father didn't think so. People were human 00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:01.559 beings to him, but to you, a warped, frustrated 00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:04.200 old man, they're cattle. Well, in my book, he 00:10:04.200 --> 00:10:07.539 died a much richer man than you'll ever be. Thank 00:10:07.539 --> 00:10:10.940 you. And scene. And scene. Thank you. Thank you. 00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:12.779 Thank you very much. We'll be performing three 00:10:12.779 --> 00:10:15.200 nights a week at your local theater. God, I hope 00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:19.220 not. I didn't know what accent to go for. I think 00:10:19.220 --> 00:10:23.279 you nailed it more than I did. I tried, but see, 00:10:23.340 --> 00:10:26.580 a lot of times, and Aidan and I do this, we do 00:10:26.580 --> 00:10:29.299 Russian, we do French, we do a bunch of things 00:10:29.299 --> 00:10:32.220 just on the ham, right? It's not serious. It's 00:10:32.220 --> 00:10:36.659 easy to take over a stereotypical accent than 00:10:36.659 --> 00:10:40.259 try and pinpoint a character or a human being. 00:10:41.460 --> 00:10:45.259 It's like saying, Hey, do the accent of your 00:10:45.259 --> 00:10:48.519 best friend's uncle. It's like, what do you mean? 00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:50.639 Right. Like, do an impression of that person. 00:10:50.740 --> 00:10:52.620 What does that mean? It means nothing. It means 00:10:52.620 --> 00:10:55.639 nothing because it's difficult to do. It is very 00:10:55.639 --> 00:10:59.360 difficult to nail. It's easy. Oh, I can't walk 00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:02.559 around here and see me, right? It's like, yeah, 00:11:02.679 --> 00:11:05.220 that's fine. It's stereotypical. It's tough to 00:11:05.220 --> 00:11:09.080 do a specific impression. Well, right. When you 00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:12.610 do a read like this. Staying in character is 00:11:12.610 --> 00:11:14.169 a really hard thing to do when it's not your 00:11:14.169 --> 00:11:16.909 natural voice, right? So like once I started 00:11:16.909 --> 00:11:19.850 I'm like, oh shit I'm gonna have to do this for 00:11:19.850 --> 00:11:22.490 this whole monologue. Jesus Christ. Can I do 00:11:22.490 --> 00:11:25.629 it? I Think I held it pretty well. I think you 00:11:25.629 --> 00:11:28.190 did I think I feel really good, but that's not 00:11:28.190 --> 00:11:30.110 why we did it I mean if we get an Emmy we get 00:11:30.110 --> 00:11:32.950 an Emmy, right? That's true easy. Don't really 00:11:32.950 --> 00:11:35.309 qualify for an Emmy But we should qualify for 00:11:35.309 --> 00:11:37.750 two maybe one for each of us one for each of 00:11:37.750 --> 00:11:42.720 us. That's fair maybe maybe an NAB Marconi radio 00:11:42.720 --> 00:11:45.799 award. Okay. Maybe there's a podcasting one. 00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:48.519 Is it called The Potty? The Potty. The Potty. 00:11:48.779 --> 00:11:52.960 I will take a potty right now. I just took a 00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:57.919 potty. Oh no. I just really kind of warm. Whatever 00:11:57.919 --> 00:12:00.299 it is. This studio will never recover. It will 00:12:00.299 --> 00:12:04.700 never recover. But anyway, the reason for this 00:12:04.700 --> 00:12:09.580 reading and this presentation is that I attended 00:12:09.580 --> 00:12:12.659 a housing symposium here in Valparaiso, Indiana. 00:12:12.799 --> 00:12:14.779 I was at the city hall. It was a wonderful mix 00:12:14.779 --> 00:12:16.679 of, I don't know, developers and real estate 00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:19.740 agents and local politicians and rich people. 00:12:20.019 --> 00:12:22.860 More importantly, though, a good chunk of the 00:12:22.860 --> 00:12:25.019 public, which was nice to see them there and 00:12:25.019 --> 00:12:28.559 nice to see them engaged. Anyway, everyone came 00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:31.080 really prepared to discuss affordable housing 00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:34.320 crisis in the Valparaiso area. In a nutshell, 00:12:34.980 --> 00:12:40.129 the median home price is $300 and $50 ,000. The 00:12:40.129 --> 00:12:43.830 home value is about $354. It's pretty close to 00:12:43.830 --> 00:12:47.149 even, Stephen. For Midwest US houses. For Midwest 00:12:47.149 --> 00:12:50.210 USA. Now, to qualify for any of those homes, 00:12:51.090 --> 00:12:52.690 you have to, according to this presentation, 00:12:52.929 --> 00:12:56.649 make a minimum of $21 per hour, and that comes 00:12:56.649 --> 00:12:59.049 with minimal debt and excellent credit. And not 00:12:59.049 --> 00:13:02.570 only the $21 per hour, you need what? Approximately 00:13:02.570 --> 00:13:05.789 10 % saved up for down? Yes. So you need to make 00:13:05.789 --> 00:13:10.129 $21 an hour and have $35 ,000 just sitting around 00:13:10.129 --> 00:13:14.289 in the bank. Yeah. Not your emergency fund, in 00:13:14.289 --> 00:13:17.730 the bank ready to spend. Yes, correct. That is 00:13:17.730 --> 00:13:21.110 correct. Now, most people, especially those living, 00:13:21.230 --> 00:13:23.309 say, on the west coast or in the northeast part 00:13:23.309 --> 00:13:26.850 of the United States, would think $3 .50 is a 00:13:26.850 --> 00:13:29.950 bargain because their averages are much higher. 00:13:30.169 --> 00:13:32.860 Right. But in northwest Indiana, it is a bit 00:13:32.860 --> 00:13:35.379 on the high side and makes the community of Valpo 00:13:35.379 --> 00:13:39.600 exclusive rather than inclusive. Right. Thousands 00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:42.480 working in and around Valpo work at factories, 00:13:42.740 --> 00:13:46.440 warehouses, big -box stores, restaurants, bars, 00:13:46.740 --> 00:13:50.580 gas stations, foods and government jobs, nonprofits, 00:13:51.320 --> 00:13:54.679 schools, the university here in town. And a large 00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:59.320 majority of that workforce earns below the $21. 00:13:59.769 --> 00:14:03.009 Right. Requirements some well below. Right. And 00:14:03.009 --> 00:14:07.009 not only make below that amount, but have little 00:14:07.009 --> 00:14:10.970 to no savings. Right. For this, what, down payment 00:14:10.970 --> 00:14:13.269 that's supposed to come out of nowhere? Mm -hmm. 00:14:13.750 --> 00:14:18.090 Yeah. Oh yeah, for sure. And if we're to take 00:14:18.090 --> 00:14:20.330 the lessons of the past and apply them to a modern 00:14:20.330 --> 00:14:24.210 day problem, doesn't every working American deserve 00:14:24.210 --> 00:14:27.889 four walls and a bath? Right. Just like the George 00:14:27.889 --> 00:14:31.250 Bailey example. You know, Bezos, Musk, Trump, 00:14:31.629 --> 00:14:33.610 they don't give a shit about people. No. Hell 00:14:33.610 --> 00:14:35.970 no. But perhaps there are enough people with 00:14:35.970 --> 00:14:39.370 means and good will to help move the needle on 00:14:39.370 --> 00:14:42.070 this growing problem. Everyone talks a good game. 00:14:42.590 --> 00:14:44.149 Well, we know the road to hell is paved with 00:14:44.149 --> 00:14:48.929 good intentions. Sure. Yeah. And so it's going 00:14:48.929 --> 00:14:51.029 to take more than a room full of people that 00:14:51.029 --> 00:14:54.039 say... That's a really great idea. We need to 00:14:54.039 --> 00:14:56.980 do something about this. Well, I can say that. 00:14:56.980 --> 00:15:00.059 Right. But I don't have two and a half million 00:15:00.059 --> 00:15:02.299 dollars sitting in the bank that I can go, oh, 00:15:02.539 --> 00:15:04.100 you know, I wasn't doing anything with this. 00:15:04.179 --> 00:15:08.200 Let me throw this to a housing development project. 00:15:08.340 --> 00:15:10.120 Right. I don't have that. You don't have that. 00:15:10.139 --> 00:15:12.960 We don't have multimillion dollar backing. We're 00:15:12.960 --> 00:15:16.159 willing to support it and rah rah it and whatever 00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:19.320 we can do on that end. But at the end of the 00:15:19.320 --> 00:15:22.539 day. money talks, bullshit walks. Right. And 00:15:22.539 --> 00:15:25.139 it's going to take people with means that are 00:15:25.139 --> 00:15:29.379 going to say, yep, I want to donate this. Right. 00:15:29.740 --> 00:15:35.840 As a goodwill, charitable donation towards this, 00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:38.419 then they can go take their tax write -off, if 00:15:38.419 --> 00:15:40.179 they even need it, because they don't get taxed 00:15:40.179 --> 00:15:42.840 anymore. But if they wanted to do a tax write 00:15:42.840 --> 00:15:45.179 -off on it, put that money towards something. 00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:48.820 Sure. Now, there's a gentleman who said they're 00:15:48.820 --> 00:15:52.220 working on a developmental district, some homes 00:15:52.220 --> 00:15:54.179 that they're going to build or whatever. Those 00:15:54.179 --> 00:15:58.759 homes are still 225 to 250. Now, if that is really 00:15:58.759 --> 00:16:02.250 truly the case... your mortgage rates are gonna 00:16:02.250 --> 00:16:03.909 be less. But once again, if people don't have 00:16:03.909 --> 00:16:06.190 the down payment, they're gonna have to put together 00:16:06.190 --> 00:16:09.450 some aggressive like either no money down or 00:16:09.450 --> 00:16:12.230 like 2 ,500 down or 1 ,000. They're gonna have 00:16:12.230 --> 00:16:14.690 to come up with some creative shit in order to 00:16:14.690 --> 00:16:16.990 get those people that work at Target, that work 00:16:16.990 --> 00:16:19.129 at Meyer, that work at Home Depot, they're gonna 00:16:19.129 --> 00:16:22.779 have to really work some stuff. to give them 00:16:22.779 --> 00:16:25.399 an opportunity to buy a house and still have 00:16:25.399 --> 00:16:28.919 them no greater than 33 % of what their monthly 00:16:28.919 --> 00:16:31.980 take -home is. Right. Because wages are half 00:16:31.980 --> 00:16:35.259 of the issue. Wages have been down for decades 00:16:35.259 --> 00:16:38.940 and continue to stay down. And that's a major 00:16:38.940 --> 00:16:42.320 issue. Yes. Problem number two is the fact that 00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:45.399 most working Americans, most working class Americans, 00:16:45.879 --> 00:16:50.309 do not have a savings account. Let alone a savings 00:16:50.309 --> 00:16:54.450 account with one comma or five digits. Period. 00:16:54.549 --> 00:16:57.710 It's unheard of. It's unheard of. Sure. It may 00:16:57.710 --> 00:17:01.730 be like, there may be some high brow, high horse 00:17:01.730 --> 00:17:04.289 developers like, oh, we're building, you know, 00:17:04.470 --> 00:17:07.269 we're doing the Lord's work. We're doing low 00:17:07.269 --> 00:17:11.250 income housing, but you're still charging 225. 00:17:11.349 --> 00:17:14.470 Yeah. You're, I mean, with mortgage rates today, 00:17:14.509 --> 00:17:17.400 you're still expecting an individual. to have 00:17:17.400 --> 00:17:21.579 a monthly income that rivals that mortgage payment 00:17:21.579 --> 00:17:24.940 of $1 ,200, you're expecting them to have over 00:17:24.940 --> 00:17:28.180 $20 ,000 saved for your down payment that doesn't 00:17:28.180 --> 00:17:31.680 exist. Correct. In this working economy that 00:17:31.680 --> 00:17:34.859 doesn't exist. It doesn't exist. It doesn't exist 00:17:34.859 --> 00:17:38.799 at all. And it's really becoming a problem because, 00:17:39.380 --> 00:17:42.059 say for example, you have, I don't know, say 00:17:42.059 --> 00:17:44.299 there's a woman who's a teacher's aide or say 00:17:44.299 --> 00:17:48.910 there's a widower that has to work at Home Depot 00:17:48.910 --> 00:17:52.029 part -time in order to pay his bills or a single 00:17:52.029 --> 00:17:55.009 mom of two who's an assistant manager over at 00:17:55.009 --> 00:17:59.809 Target or something along those lines. And they 00:17:59.809 --> 00:18:02.730 want to live in the town they work in and they 00:18:02.730 --> 00:18:05.269 can't because there's just no housing and certainly 00:18:05.269 --> 00:18:08.450 no rent because of the housing prices that have 00:18:08.450 --> 00:18:10.069 stayed steady and even gone up a little bit. 00:18:10.410 --> 00:18:12.349 Do you think rent's going to come down? Hell 00:18:12.349 --> 00:18:13.990 no. Rent's not going to come down. They're going 00:18:13.990 --> 00:18:16.269 to stay high. They were even saying like for 00:18:16.269 --> 00:18:20.109 a one bedroom, like $1 ,200. Right. Is what you're 00:18:20.109 --> 00:18:22.609 looking at for a one bedroom apartment. Yeah. 00:18:22.809 --> 00:18:24.529 And they can charge it because they know those 00:18:24.529 --> 00:18:27.890 people don't have money down for a house. Right. 00:18:28.009 --> 00:18:30.079 Or don't have the credit. Yeah. Yep. So they 00:18:30.079 --> 00:18:31.779 are going to charge them through the nose for 00:18:31.779 --> 00:18:35.460 some little shit place. Yeah. And so that's incredibly 00:18:35.460 --> 00:18:38.079 unfair to them as well. So what you need is that 00:18:38.079 --> 00:18:40.319 opportunity for people to buy. But they can't. 00:18:40.359 --> 00:18:42.079 So what are they going to do? Now, this is a 00:18:42.079 --> 00:18:45.240 local example for all you folks that listen outside 00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:48.839 of the Midwest or Indiana, which is where we're 00:18:48.839 --> 00:18:51.880 from. So in our community of Valparaiso, a town 00:18:51.880 --> 00:18:54.759 of about 35, 36 ,000 people, however big we are. 00:18:55.660 --> 00:18:58.680 There are much smaller communities around us. 00:18:59.099 --> 00:19:05.640 A La Crosse, a Couts, a Chawanita. These are 00:19:05.640 --> 00:19:07.660 the communities they have to live in. Right. 00:19:07.859 --> 00:19:09.720 And that doesn't always mean it's going to be 00:19:09.720 --> 00:19:11.880 that much cheaper. It'd be a little bit cheaper. 00:19:12.180 --> 00:19:14.839 But you're spending the difference on fuel and 00:19:14.839 --> 00:19:18.859 car repairs. Right. So it's just, it's really 00:19:18.859 --> 00:19:22.059 bad. Another part of the conversation was also 00:19:22.059 --> 00:19:26.250 about state and or federal funding for different 00:19:26.250 --> 00:19:29.869 projects, but here's the thing, there's only 00:19:29.869 --> 00:19:35.130 so many, so much funds available to so many projects 00:19:35.130 --> 00:19:38.450 that it is like finding a needle in a haystack. 00:19:38.589 --> 00:19:42.950 Right, and at that point, if you're requesting 00:19:42.950 --> 00:19:48.329 those type of funds, you're simply employing 00:19:48.329 --> 00:19:53.009 the methods of socialism where you know, the 00:19:53.009 --> 00:19:57.670 government funded by taxes will provide for the 00:19:57.670 --> 00:20:01.410 populace. The only difference is, is that all 00:20:01.410 --> 00:20:04.430 the money still gets funneled to the 1%. Yes. 00:20:04.609 --> 00:20:06.250 That's the difference. That's the difference. 00:20:06.289 --> 00:20:11.809 Instead of a true socialism where fully tax money 00:20:11.809 --> 00:20:14.269 gets reinvested into the community, infrastructure, 00:20:14.410 --> 00:20:18.930 housing, it gets invested into those simply directly 00:20:18.930 --> 00:20:22.430 to be funneled back into the 1%. Yes. greedy 00:20:22.430 --> 00:20:26.990 landlords, greedy developers. There are, I think 00:20:26.990 --> 00:20:29.230 the last time I saw this statistic, there are 00:20:29.230 --> 00:20:31.650 more than 10 million, I think somewhere between 00:20:31.650 --> 00:20:36.170 10 and 20 million empty houses in the United 00:20:36.170 --> 00:20:40.049 States of America. There are less than 700 ,000 00:20:40.049 --> 00:20:44.009 homeless people in this country. You could house 00:20:44.009 --> 00:20:47.490 every homeless person in this country and still 00:20:47.490 --> 00:20:52.220 have 10 plus million houses to sell. and a lot 00:20:52.220 --> 00:20:54.460 of those houses, especially ones that have been 00:20:54.460 --> 00:20:58.200 foreclosed, that are owned by Fannie Mae, Freddie 00:20:58.200 --> 00:21:03.960 Mac, HUD, whoever owns them, and why not? Why 00:21:03.960 --> 00:21:05.900 not put someone in? And here's the funny thing. 00:21:06.480 --> 00:21:09.720 So many homeless people work. More than you would 00:21:09.720 --> 00:21:12.680 think. When we're in Seattle, a lot of those 00:21:12.680 --> 00:21:15.099 people up in that have jobs. Can't afford the 00:21:15.099 --> 00:21:19.460 rent. When Alex is eight and sister, my daughter, 00:21:19.940 --> 00:21:23.539 she moved to Seattle, What she paid for a box 00:21:23.539 --> 00:21:27.720 blew my mind. It's insane. Now, she has a good 00:21:27.720 --> 00:21:30.500 job now, and she's with a nice dude that also 00:21:30.500 --> 00:21:33.359 has a job, so they're able to manage in a little 00:21:33.359 --> 00:21:36.079 bit nicer place. Her place was nice. It was just 00:21:36.079 --> 00:21:39.700 small. It was just a box. Right. But that, like 00:21:39.700 --> 00:21:42.359 New York, Seattle, San Francisco, there are people 00:21:42.359 --> 00:21:48.140 paying 15, $2 ,000 for a box. Right. A studio. 00:21:48.279 --> 00:21:51.019 a studio, literally like a loft bed and under 00:21:51.019 --> 00:21:53.200 the loft bed is the stove and the sink and the 00:21:53.200 --> 00:21:55.859 fridge. It's like, what the shit? Some of these 00:21:55.859 --> 00:21:59.000 places don't have a window. Yeah. It's stunning. 00:21:59.359 --> 00:22:03.019 It really blows my mind. So something has to 00:22:03.019 --> 00:22:05.359 be done. There's also guys, I read about a guy 00:22:05.359 --> 00:22:08.400 in Texas and some guy in California where they 00:22:08.400 --> 00:22:11.000 have like these little micro home communities 00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:14.380 where it's like these small cabins that literally 00:22:14.380 --> 00:22:18.970 have living room, kitchen. bathroom, bedroom. 00:22:19.589 --> 00:22:22.069 Small little cabins. Right. And... You're talking 00:22:22.069 --> 00:22:25.150 a couple hunge square feet. Right. And there's 00:22:25.150 --> 00:22:27.470 no way in hell that's $2 .25 or $2 .50 like this 00:22:27.470 --> 00:22:29.710 guy in Valpo was saying. No. Hell no. That's 00:22:29.710 --> 00:22:32.269 a shit ton cheaper. And by the way, I should 00:22:32.269 --> 00:22:35.769 mention this. I didn't work directly with this 00:22:35.769 --> 00:22:37.650 organization, kind of indirectly, because when 00:22:37.650 --> 00:22:40.210 I was involved in the radio station, I was the 00:22:40.210 --> 00:22:41.809 chairman of the board there on two different 00:22:41.809 --> 00:22:46.359 occasions, and... The parent I guess parent group 00:22:46.359 --> 00:22:53.440 over us who had the nonprofit They are affordable 00:22:53.440 --> 00:22:58.940 housing nonprofit right and So they they they 00:22:58.940 --> 00:23:02.640 have these communities when but they manage ownership 00:23:02.640 --> 00:23:05.359 over the properties this guy's talking about 00:23:05.359 --> 00:23:09.130 selling So who's to say I'm good. Oh, yeah, I 00:23:09.130 --> 00:23:12.910 got this $225 ,000 place I sit on it for one 00:23:12.910 --> 00:23:14.509 or two years. I wait for rates to get a little 00:23:14.509 --> 00:23:17.529 bit better Tell me not every single person in 00:23:17.529 --> 00:23:19.809 there is gonna get the hell out. They're gonna 00:23:19.809 --> 00:23:22.910 take 272 75 They're gonna make their money. Yep, 00:23:23.109 --> 00:23:24.769 and they're gonna split and get a better place 00:23:24.769 --> 00:23:27.430 Some private equity firm is gonna buy every single 00:23:27.430 --> 00:23:30.460 one of those and rent them Right, and so the 00:23:30.460 --> 00:23:32.920 affordable housing once again is gone. Disappears, 00:23:32.960 --> 00:23:35.319 right. And then what we're left with a working 00:23:35.319 --> 00:23:38.980 class returning to the fucking peasant slums. 00:23:41.519 --> 00:23:44.220 What are we doing? What are we doing? We give 00:23:44.220 --> 00:23:48.900 the same 40 hours a week. We give the same 40 00:23:48.900 --> 00:23:52.460 hours a week that white Americans gave in the 00:23:52.460 --> 00:23:57.200 1940s and 50s where they were prosperous. Yes. 00:23:57.400 --> 00:24:01.019 prosperous. There's a reason that in the show 00:24:01.019 --> 00:24:05.920 The Simpsons, it made sense for a one working 00:24:05.920 --> 00:24:10.539 parent to work 40 hours a week and afford a multiple 00:24:10.539 --> 00:24:13.339 bedroom, multiple bathroom house with a two car 00:24:13.339 --> 00:24:17.880 garage. It's because that amount of wealth was 00:24:17.880 --> 00:24:20.660 still within the working class. That's why that 00:24:20.660 --> 00:24:23.960 show made sense. That couldn't exist. There is 00:24:23.960 --> 00:24:26.640 not a millennial or Gen Z individual that knows 00:24:26.640 --> 00:24:29.200 what the fuck that's like. Oh, there's no way. 00:24:29.920 --> 00:24:32.619 I don't know if majority is the right word, but 00:24:32.619 --> 00:24:35.299 a really large handful of Gen X is in the same 00:24:35.299 --> 00:24:38.660 boat. Oh, 100%. All of that money is in the boomer's 00:24:38.660 --> 00:24:40.819 hands. All of that money is in the one percenter's 00:24:40.819 --> 00:24:47.000 hands. And we're qualming with developers and 00:24:47.000 --> 00:24:50.440 realtors about affordable housing. I hate to 00:24:50.440 --> 00:24:53.200 sound negative about it, but it seems fucking 00:24:53.200 --> 00:24:57.920 senseless. Because in my mind, it's such a large 00:24:57.920 --> 00:25:02.359 issue, and I don't know how to take it. Besides, 00:25:02.640 --> 00:25:06.660 be angry and hope for the eventual revolution. 00:25:07.319 --> 00:25:10.279 Yeah, I'm not sure what the ultimate solution 00:25:10.279 --> 00:25:13.160 is here, but I just know that, first off, having 00:25:13.160 --> 00:25:16.609 the conversation is fine. Right. Mind you, there 00:25:16.609 --> 00:25:18.609 are several politicians that used verbiage that 00:25:18.609 --> 00:25:21.609 I've been using for several months communicating 00:25:21.609 --> 00:25:23.109 with them. So I'm pretty sure they're stealing 00:25:23.109 --> 00:25:25.390 my shit. Just going to come out and say it. Right. 00:25:26.329 --> 00:25:28.829 Especially when I was talking about wants and 00:25:28.829 --> 00:25:31.210 needs and being a politician and being able to 00:25:31.210 --> 00:25:33.410 differentiate between the two. Sure. Making the 00:25:33.410 --> 00:25:36.529 best decision for your constituency. And all 00:25:36.529 --> 00:25:38.269 of a sudden they're using the same lingo I am. 00:25:38.410 --> 00:25:40.230 I'm like, oh, how about that? Isn't that something? 00:25:40.789 --> 00:25:42.329 Yeah. So I kind of kept my mouth shut last night. 00:25:42.450 --> 00:25:44.049 Nope, I'm not giving them stuff they can use. 00:25:44.049 --> 00:25:46.000 I'm like, no way. I'm like, elect me to something, 00:25:46.079 --> 00:25:48.059 and then I'll start talking again, but. Yeah, 00:25:48.720 --> 00:25:50.859 if fuck you, pay me. If fuck you, pay me, yeah. 00:25:51.140 --> 00:25:54.900 I don't know what else to do, but having the 00:25:54.900 --> 00:25:59.019 conversation is fine, but once again, it's like 00:25:59.019 --> 00:26:01.319 protesting, and I had this conversation with 00:26:01.319 --> 00:26:03.660 a friend of ours, Hannah, and we had a conversation, 00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:04.740 it's like, you know, I'm getting kind of tired 00:26:04.740 --> 00:26:06.680 of it, and I'm like, I am too, I mean, I get 00:26:06.680 --> 00:26:09.099 it, and it's our right under the Constitution, 00:26:09.400 --> 00:26:12.440 and I get that, hold your sign, shout, whatever 00:26:12.440 --> 00:26:15.960 you're out there for. But at some point, and 00:26:15.960 --> 00:26:18.559 I propose this, I'm like, what's next? We could 00:26:18.559 --> 00:26:20.539 sit out here and yell for four years. Right. 00:26:20.799 --> 00:26:23.859 What's next? Because there has to be like a step 00:26:23.859 --> 00:26:28.099 B and a step C and D and all of that. And if 00:26:28.099 --> 00:26:30.440 we're just going to keep doing nothing's going 00:26:30.440 --> 00:26:32.720 to happen. Right. And so I kind of feel this 00:26:32.720 --> 00:26:33.980 way with the whole housing thing. It's like, 00:26:34.079 --> 00:26:37.660 yes, let's have a conversation. But then what's 00:26:37.660 --> 00:26:42.200 next? Yeah. Because the $220 ,000 to $250 ,000 00:26:42.200 --> 00:26:45.180 project thing, I don't think that goes anywhere 00:26:45.180 --> 00:26:49.140 unless there are companies, non -profits, whoever, 00:26:49.579 --> 00:26:53.059 that are actively going to manage multi -units 00:26:53.059 --> 00:26:56.880 that the average person, that someone making 00:26:56.880 --> 00:27:00.099 15 bucks an hour can get into. Right. And call 00:27:00.099 --> 00:27:03.480 home. Yeah. Because right now we just don't have 00:27:03.480 --> 00:27:07.180 that. I know servers, I know bartenders, I know 00:27:07.180 --> 00:27:10.740 people that work in retail. and they, one of 00:27:10.740 --> 00:27:13.880 two things. One, they live outside of Valpo and 00:27:13.880 --> 00:27:16.440 have to drive in, or number two, they live with 00:27:16.440 --> 00:27:19.180 mom and dad. Right. That's it. It's the only 00:27:19.180 --> 00:27:22.079 way to be, right? They can't do anything else. 00:27:22.319 --> 00:27:24.400 I know three people living in a two -bedroom 00:27:24.400 --> 00:27:27.680 apartment. Right. That's common, too. It's becoming 00:27:27.680 --> 00:27:31.099 too common. It's becoming too common, and it's 00:27:31.099 --> 00:27:35.980 rather unfortunate. Right. Yeah, so it's to a 00:27:35.980 --> 00:27:38.730 point where... there just doesn't seem to be 00:27:38.730 --> 00:27:41.230 a good solution. I think there probably are solutions. 00:27:41.910 --> 00:27:44.450 Maybe there's just people not having the right 00:27:44.450 --> 00:27:47.829 conversations yet. I would agree, yeah. Because 00:27:47.829 --> 00:27:52.150 I think they're still thinking that the problem 00:27:52.150 --> 00:27:56.170 exists in the over $20 an hour person, which 00:27:56.170 --> 00:27:59.589 I'm sure that exists too, no question. But once 00:27:59.589 --> 00:28:03.190 again, if you were to eliminate all the jobs 00:28:03.190 --> 00:28:06.759 that could not afford housing, Your town is shutting 00:28:06.759 --> 00:28:10.160 down. Right. Nobody serving, nobody cooking. 00:28:10.660 --> 00:28:16.119 If there is no Juanita and DeMott and Coutts 00:28:16.119 --> 00:28:20.000 and South Haven, there is no Valparaiso. True. 00:28:20.480 --> 00:28:24.519 Because the poor working class keeps Valparaiso 00:28:24.519 --> 00:28:29.259 existing. Correct. Yep. Period. And if affordable 00:28:29.259 --> 00:28:33.000 housing disappears in those areas, Valparaiso 00:28:33.000 --> 00:28:37.119 becomes the next Gary. Because capitalism destroyed 00:28:37.119 --> 00:28:40.740 Gary. Capitalism's destroyed half of Griffith. 00:28:40.960 --> 00:28:44.440 Detroit? Detroit? There are endless examples. 00:28:44.980 --> 00:28:47.779 And unless you realize, hey, oh, what's the poison? 00:28:47.859 --> 00:28:50.799 Could it be capitalism? Hey, fucking maybe. Maybe. 00:28:51.000 --> 00:28:54.619 Maybe it is. So unless you really get social 00:28:54.619 --> 00:28:59.019 programs going on a government level, there is 00:28:59.019 --> 00:29:03.000 zero capitalists. There are zero capitalists 00:29:03.000 --> 00:29:07.170 that will change this. And I stand by that 100%. 00:29:07.170 --> 00:29:10.190 They're they're not interested. It's it's all 00:29:10.190 --> 00:29:12.069 about making money. It's all about making money. 00:29:12.289 --> 00:29:14.009 And I'll go where's the money come from the working 00:29:14.009 --> 00:29:18.150 class? I'll go as far as to say that I am a Gen 00:29:18.150 --> 00:29:20.890 Xer. So a lot of my formative years were in the 00:29:20.890 --> 00:29:25.789 1980s. And most actually the entire decade were 00:29:25.789 --> 00:29:28.680 led by the conservatives, the Republican party. 00:29:29.000 --> 00:29:32.099 So it's two years, two terms of Reagan and one 00:29:32.099 --> 00:29:38.059 of H .W. Bush. And so in living in that and being 00:29:38.059 --> 00:29:42.559 taught that, oh, trickle down economics is the 00:29:42.559 --> 00:29:45.839 right way to do it. We're going to make sure 00:29:45.839 --> 00:29:47.839 that the rich continue to get richer because 00:29:47.839 --> 00:29:50.319 then that money is going to trickle down to you. 00:29:50.319 --> 00:29:53.299 But here's the trick about rich people. Rich 00:29:53.299 --> 00:29:56.759 people are rich and they stay rich. because they 00:29:56.759 --> 00:29:59.119 keep their money and they become richer and they 00:29:59.119 --> 00:30:01.579 become richer because they keep your money right 00:30:01.579 --> 00:30:03.880 and so if they're like oh with these tax breaks 00:30:03.880 --> 00:30:06.619 these bonuses and i'm wow i'm gonna make an extra 00:30:06.619 --> 00:30:10.819 30 million this year uh hey sir uh i think it 00:30:10.819 --> 00:30:13.579 would be a great idea to share that with the 00:30:13.579 --> 00:30:16.480 middle management and the workers and they'd 00:30:16.480 --> 00:30:20.559 get a hearty laugh. Right. Oh, you're so silly. 00:30:21.000 --> 00:30:22.980 And instead, they've got their golden parachute. 00:30:23.000 --> 00:30:26.160 Right. And a new yacht and a nice car. It's the 00:30:26.160 --> 00:30:28.279 same propaganda points. Oh, well, they should 00:30:28.279 --> 00:30:30.259 just get a better job. They should be a little 00:30:30.259 --> 00:30:33.059 more money responsible. No, that's not the case. 00:30:33.279 --> 00:30:35.839 It's bullshit. It's bullshit. Yeah. So all of 00:30:35.839 --> 00:30:38.180 that is a problem. And it all relates to the 00:30:38.180 --> 00:30:41.170 housing issue. Right. So they have to have a 00:30:41.170 --> 00:30:43.750 much bigger conversation. It's one I don't think 00:30:43.750 --> 00:30:46.210 they're interested in really having. It'll be 00:30:46.210 --> 00:30:48.230 interesting. I want to go to the next meeting. 00:30:48.289 --> 00:30:49.950 But then they were saying something along the 00:30:49.950 --> 00:30:52.089 lines of this second meeting in town was going 00:30:52.089 --> 00:30:55.569 to be an invitation only. Oh, interesting how 00:30:55.569 --> 00:30:57.410 that works. Interesting how that works. They 00:30:57.410 --> 00:31:00.190 don't want the public. They don't want the poor. 00:31:00.309 --> 00:31:02.269 Even though this is designed for the public, 00:31:02.369 --> 00:31:04.069 they don't want the public attending. Right. 00:31:04.210 --> 00:31:07.950 And being a part of it. Yeah. That that is that's 00:31:07.950 --> 00:31:10.079 that is something. That is really something special. 00:31:10.259 --> 00:31:15.039 And I'll tell you, there are some people in power 00:31:15.039 --> 00:31:18.539 in town, both politically and just economically, 00:31:19.640 --> 00:31:22.900 where that does not surprise me. Right. But there 00:31:22.900 --> 00:31:27.420 are some that are, quote unquote, trying to work 00:31:27.420 --> 00:31:30.500 for the other half of the folks. And I don't 00:31:30.500 --> 00:31:33.559 see it. No. I don't see it in the results. I 00:31:33.559 --> 00:31:36.980 don't see it in the movement forward. I don't 00:31:36.980 --> 00:31:39.980 know. I'm not sure. how this is going to work 00:31:39.980 --> 00:31:42.859 moving forward, but I'm not going to hold my 00:31:42.859 --> 00:31:45.460 breath. No. I'm in the same boat. That's for 00:31:45.460 --> 00:31:47.779 sure. And I know this isn't exclusive to Valpa. 00:31:47.779 --> 00:31:49.579 We speak to it because this is a town we live 00:31:49.579 --> 00:31:53.359 in. But for people around the world, I'm sure 00:31:53.359 --> 00:31:55.980 your economics probably differ somewhat, if not 00:31:55.980 --> 00:31:58.880 entirely, from what we do. But so much of local 00:31:58.880 --> 00:32:02.900 and regional politics, nationally and internationally, 00:32:03.119 --> 00:32:06.519 have this same issue. Same issue. Same issue. 00:32:06.759 --> 00:32:10.460 That's a massive problem. Yeah. Yeah, but there 00:32:10.460 --> 00:32:14.839 are there are other cultures other countries 00:32:14.839 --> 00:32:18.400 Where people are housed that if you are a working 00:32:18.400 --> 00:32:20.440 adult and you are putting in a full -time you 00:32:20.440 --> 00:32:23.480 are guaranteed a home, right? We will work with 00:32:23.480 --> 00:32:26.140 you We're gonna figure it out and there's not 00:32:26.140 --> 00:32:28.619 enough programs like that here to do that clearly 00:32:28.619 --> 00:32:30.920 Even though we have the homes as you mentioned. 00:32:31.019 --> 00:32:33.799 Yep, and if we don't have the homes around Valpo, 00:32:33.799 --> 00:32:36.349 we got the land It's very easy to put one of 00:32:36.349 --> 00:32:39.809 those little cottage or one of those cubes or 00:32:39.809 --> 00:32:42.230 like people take these shipping containers and 00:32:42.230 --> 00:32:45.029 turn them into these cool little houses. There 00:32:45.029 --> 00:32:48.369 are so many options. So many options. And it 00:32:48.369 --> 00:32:50.769 just takes somebody with the guts to say, yep, 00:32:50.849 --> 00:32:53.630 I'm gonna back that. There was one guy last night 00:32:53.630 --> 00:32:58.009 that even said, it's like this crazy amount of 00:32:58.009 --> 00:33:00.710 money. It's like over $100 ,000 to build half 00:33:00.710 --> 00:33:03.289 a street. with concrete and all the stuff that 00:33:03.289 --> 00:33:05.009 it takes to do it. And it's just, it's staggering. 00:33:05.430 --> 00:33:07.529 So it's like, oh, so if you were to build a four 00:33:07.529 --> 00:33:10.750 to six block community, so you're into it for 00:33:10.750 --> 00:33:14.130 a million dollars for the road. Okay, who's ponied 00:33:14.130 --> 00:33:18.049 it up? Not me. You say, well, you know, and then 00:33:18.049 --> 00:33:20.210 take it from the taxpayer. Well, there's taxpayer 00:33:20.210 --> 00:33:22.410 funded things here. They're giving tax money 00:33:22.410 --> 00:33:24.430 to the university. The university's a private 00:33:24.430 --> 00:33:28.740 university. No reason to do that. None. Oh, we're 00:33:28.740 --> 00:33:30.400 the university and we're struggling. That's kind 00:33:30.400 --> 00:33:32.759 of on you, homie. Right. You're a private university. 00:33:33.059 --> 00:33:35.500 Any private business that struggles either fucking 00:33:35.500 --> 00:33:38.380 closes or they sells to someone else. If you 00:33:38.380 --> 00:33:40.079 can't make it, why the fuck are you subsidized 00:33:40.079 --> 00:33:41.900 by the government? You know who doesn't beg for 00:33:41.900 --> 00:33:44.980 money? Loyola University of Chicago. With the 00:33:44.980 --> 00:33:47.319 greatest endowment of almost any university in 00:33:47.319 --> 00:33:50.599 this country, they have more money. So when they 00:33:50.599 --> 00:33:52.160 want to build a building, guess what they do? 00:33:52.460 --> 00:33:54.339 They build the building. Right. They don't sit 00:33:54.339 --> 00:33:57.319 there and beg taxpayers, the city of Chicago. 00:33:57.579 --> 00:34:00.140 They don't do any of that shit. If they want 00:34:00.140 --> 00:34:02.319 a piece of land, they show up with a check. Yep. 00:34:02.619 --> 00:34:05.160 Yep, this is what we want. And here's Valpo with 00:34:05.160 --> 00:34:07.559 their hands out. They just sold all their fucking 00:34:07.559 --> 00:34:11.800 art. Yeah. How embarrassing is that? And now 00:34:11.800 --> 00:34:15.460 they want taxpayer money? Hell no. I don't understand 00:34:15.460 --> 00:34:19.320 it. Like, if I were on that council, I would 00:34:19.320 --> 00:34:21.559 point to the door and tell them to fuck off. 00:34:21.559 --> 00:34:24.469 Yeah. You are a private university. Best of luck. 00:34:24.690 --> 00:34:27.449 Yeah. Sorry. You are your own business. Right. 00:34:27.949 --> 00:34:30.090 I don't know what to tell you. You need to fix 00:34:30.090 --> 00:34:34.110 your shit. Yeah. And if you can no longer run 00:34:34.110 --> 00:34:38.449 that university, call the Jesuits, call Notre 00:34:38.449 --> 00:34:41.230 Dame, call somebody else to come in and take 00:34:41.230 --> 00:34:43.710 over the university. You are a private business. 00:34:43.829 --> 00:34:47.570 Yeah. If you fail, guess what? You should fail. 00:34:47.650 --> 00:34:52.269 You should fail. No doubt. 100%. Period. And 00:34:52.269 --> 00:34:53.630 then people be like, oh, well, then people will 00:34:53.630 --> 00:34:55.510 be out of work. Well, people decided to work 00:34:55.510 --> 00:34:58.070 there. Right. And guess what? I've worked for 00:34:58.070 --> 00:35:00.789 a place. It went out of business. I could whine 00:35:00.789 --> 00:35:03.510 and cry about it all day long. It happens. Right. 00:35:03.690 --> 00:35:06.710 But does that mean the government should subsidize 00:35:06.710 --> 00:35:08.829 that business just because they're failing? Absolutely 00:35:08.829 --> 00:35:10.929 not. Nope. Just like they shouldn't have bailed 00:35:10.929 --> 00:35:13.030 out the banks back in the mid -2000s. Period. 00:35:13.630 --> 00:35:16.449 They should have let them fail. And then people 00:35:16.449 --> 00:35:19.420 that... did creepy bad shit, should have gone 00:35:19.420 --> 00:35:21.800 to prison. That didn't happen either. Classy. 00:35:21.940 --> 00:35:24.320 That's America, baby. That's America. So, you 00:35:24.320 --> 00:35:27.260 know, we went off the road a little bit, but 00:35:27.260 --> 00:35:29.900 in a way, it all kind of interconnected. It's 00:35:29.900 --> 00:35:33.440 all interconnected. And I know there are a lot 00:35:33.440 --> 00:35:35.300 of communities in the United States, and like 00:35:35.300 --> 00:35:37.260 I said, probably internationally, too. I'm just 00:35:37.260 --> 00:35:42.659 not up on the housing issues or issues involving 00:35:42.659 --> 00:35:45.579 business and how that affects their people. I 00:35:45.579 --> 00:35:48.980 know Canada's bad. I know UK is bad. I know Ireland's 00:35:48.980 --> 00:35:53.380 rough. But that's capitalism. Capitalism's a 00:35:53.380 --> 00:35:56.539 plague. It's taking over. Hey, it's affecting 00:35:56.539 --> 00:35:59.159 everyone equally, it seems. Right. And the whole 00:35:59.159 --> 00:36:01.219 thing like, look, if you're in business, I get 00:36:01.219 --> 00:36:02.800 it. You want to make money because you're in 00:36:02.800 --> 00:36:04.920 business. That's why you decided to do it. Number 00:36:04.920 --> 00:36:06.599 one, you love what you do. Number two, you want 00:36:06.599 --> 00:36:09.079 to make money. I get it. I'd want to do the same 00:36:09.079 --> 00:36:11.880 thing. But here's the thing. If I'm making hundreds 00:36:11.880 --> 00:36:15.880 of millions of dollars or like you think a BP 00:36:15.880 --> 00:36:18.280 or you think a Shell or all these petroleum companies 00:36:18.280 --> 00:36:21.940 and their quarterly profits are disgusting. Right. 00:36:22.199 --> 00:36:24.599 And then they have a platform out in the Gulf 00:36:24.599 --> 00:36:26.719 of Mexico that blows up because all the equipment 00:36:26.719 --> 00:36:29.860 was old and outdated. Who pays to fix it? What 00:36:29.860 --> 00:36:31.780 did you just do with all those quarterly profits? 00:36:31.940 --> 00:36:33.679 Shouldn't you put that back into your... Right. 00:36:34.119 --> 00:36:37.440 I don't know. No. And it makes you wonder, where 00:36:37.440 --> 00:36:40.519 is that money being extracted from? It's being 00:36:40.519 --> 00:36:42.840 extracted from the consumers, and it's being 00:36:42.840 --> 00:36:45.579 extracted from the working class that keeps those 00:36:45.579 --> 00:36:49.119 businesses alive. Yeah. Yep. And what do they 00:36:49.119 --> 00:36:52.019 do? What do they do, even though with their quarterly 00:36:52.019 --> 00:36:54.079 billion -dollar profits, what do they do? They 00:36:54.079 --> 00:36:56.179 go to the government, and they lobby, and they 00:36:56.179 --> 00:36:59.119 say, it'd be really great if we could have a 00:36:59.119 --> 00:37:02.000 zero tax rate. Right. Well, fuck, who's going 00:37:02.000 --> 00:37:04.579 to make that up, then? We are. Right. Right. 00:37:05.380 --> 00:37:08.420 Nope. And if we don't it gets added to the deficit 00:37:08.420 --> 00:37:12.179 for us to deal with later. Yep. Yeah, that really 00:37:12.179 --> 00:37:16.460 sucks. But that's it. As always, please feel 00:37:16.460 --> 00:37:20.260 free to make comments if you want. There's got 00:37:20.260 --> 00:37:21.780 to be a better path forward. I'm going to stay 00:37:21.780 --> 00:37:25.780 on top of this housing thing because like I said, 00:37:26.079 --> 00:37:27.719 maybe a little bit different one way or the other 00:37:27.719 --> 00:37:30.679 where you're at, but I know it is a problem everywhere. 00:37:31.400 --> 00:37:34.320 So I'm going to stay up on that. I'm just going 00:37:34.320 --> 00:37:36.699 to stay up on political corruption in general 00:37:36.699 --> 00:37:39.619 because we had that thing with the imminent domain 00:37:39.619 --> 00:37:41.480 and then trying to put data centers near where 00:37:41.480 --> 00:37:44.469 people live. It's just it's almost out of control 00:37:44.469 --> 00:37:46.170 like they feel that they're so empowered. They 00:37:46.170 --> 00:37:48.050 can just do whatever the fuck they want Well, 00:37:48.050 --> 00:37:50.530 i'm here to tell you they can't right and the 00:37:50.530 --> 00:37:54.670 power of the people should win Like I said money 00:37:54.670 --> 00:37:58.190 wise We there's nothing we can do. There's absolutely 00:37:58.190 --> 00:38:00.309 nothing we can do but we can do everything else, 00:38:00.309 --> 00:38:03.619 right? So we should try and we should make noise 00:38:03.619 --> 00:38:07.940 and we should attend meetings and try to move 00:38:07.940 --> 00:38:10.519 the needle on a few things. We'll see where this 00:38:10.519 --> 00:38:14.849 ends up going. I've always said if people are 00:38:14.849 --> 00:38:16.550 here and they're working, I don't care if they're 00:38:16.550 --> 00:38:19.070 making $12 an hour or $20 an hour or whatever, 00:38:19.650 --> 00:38:22.309 if they're working a full -time job, they should 00:38:22.309 --> 00:38:25.590 have a fucking home. Right. And I think it's 00:38:25.590 --> 00:38:28.750 embarrassing to have people that are working 00:38:28.750 --> 00:38:32.050 jobs for people in a two -bedroom or they're 00:38:32.050 --> 00:38:37.250 living with their parents or other some cohabitation 00:38:37.250 --> 00:38:38.949 going on. Can't afford to live where you work. 00:38:39.130 --> 00:38:41.230 Right. Yep. That's got to end. It's got to end. 00:38:41.610 --> 00:38:43.829 So I'll keep you updated on things that are happening 00:38:43.829 --> 00:38:47.050 here. And I always say, feel free to engage, 00:38:47.510 --> 00:38:49.849 comment, all that kind of good stuff. And if 00:38:49.849 --> 00:38:52.150 you have things going on in your community, let 00:38:52.150 --> 00:38:54.369 me know. I'm happy to look into it and to research. 00:38:54.530 --> 00:38:56.789 I'm not in your community, but I know how to 00:38:56.789 --> 00:39:01.650 read. So I'll definitely be happy to check that 00:39:01.650 --> 00:39:03.130 out and put a spotlight on your community if 00:39:03.130 --> 00:39:06.030 it's needed. Absolutely. All right. After this 00:39:06.030 --> 00:39:08.190 quick break, Carp ID, I'm on the Mark Mo Show. 00:39:20.269 --> 00:39:24.210 We are back on the Mark Mo Show podcast. I'm 00:39:24.210 --> 00:39:27.510 Mark Maloney along with Aidan Maloney and I was 00:39:27.510 --> 00:39:29.610 a spicy beginning to the show. Well, first of 00:39:29.610 --> 00:39:32.769 all, you caught an Academy Award winning performance. 00:39:32.769 --> 00:39:36.170 You're welcome to be fair. Yeah, but then we 00:39:36.170 --> 00:39:39.409 had kind of a spicy conversation. So we're think 00:39:39.409 --> 00:39:41.050 from week to week. We might keep that going a 00:39:41.050 --> 00:39:44.449 little bit. I mean, it's just I'd rather have 00:39:44.449 --> 00:39:47.929 fun and have nonsense, but sometimes it's fitting. 00:39:48.510 --> 00:39:51.659 Yeah. Sometimes you just have to say the tough 00:39:51.659 --> 00:39:54.480 stuff, you know. Yeah, it would be disingenuous 00:39:54.480 --> 00:39:58.260 to not share feelings like that, you know? Yep. 00:39:58.920 --> 00:40:01.300 Yep. Is that fair to say? That is definitely 00:40:01.300 --> 00:40:05.420 fair to say. But, you know, as I said, we'll 00:40:05.420 --> 00:40:09.280 keep you guys updated on all that kind of stuff 00:40:09.280 --> 00:40:11.800 because it's important. It's very important and 00:40:11.800 --> 00:40:14.880 I feel like... a little bit every day. We tend 00:40:14.880 --> 00:40:16.900 to kind of just lose the identity of what this 00:40:16.900 --> 00:40:21.500 country is supposed to be. Hopefully we'll find 00:40:21.500 --> 00:40:23.940 our way out. Right, no kidding, hey? We'll see. 00:40:24.420 --> 00:40:26.099 I've seen movies like this. They don't always 00:40:26.099 --> 00:40:29.099 turn out really great. Right, right. We'll see 00:40:29.099 --> 00:40:31.840 how that goes. If it leans dystopian and it sounds 00:40:31.840 --> 00:40:34.360 dystopian, it might be dystopian. It might be 00:40:34.360 --> 00:40:38.400 dystopian, absolutely. But we're onto Carpe Diem. 00:40:38.800 --> 00:40:41.139 That is, you find folks sending us ear DMs and 00:40:41.139 --> 00:40:44.579 then we read them on the air. If you have questions, 00:40:44.719 --> 00:40:48.619 we answer them. I mean... if we want if we choose 00:40:48.619 --> 00:40:51.400 if we desire such a thing yeah i mean we're not 00:40:51.400 --> 00:40:54.260 obligated not at all i mean we can do it or we 00:40:54.260 --> 00:40:57.820 cannot you could attempt to bribe us you could 00:40:57.820 --> 00:40:59.739 uh there's a lot of things you can do we'll take 00:40:59.739 --> 00:41:03.019 your sweat pills yeah just like let's Roleplay. 00:41:03.119 --> 00:41:06.079 You be the lobbyist. Yeah. We'll be the politician. 00:41:06.460 --> 00:41:09.440 You give us money. We might vote on the bill 00:41:09.440 --> 00:41:12.340 you're interested in. We might not. Which just 00:41:12.340 --> 00:41:14.400 happens to be legal for some fucking reason. 00:41:14.599 --> 00:41:17.780 I know. I know. I know. Give it a shot. Maybe 00:41:17.780 --> 00:41:19.099 you'll get your question answered. Give it a 00:41:19.099 --> 00:41:22.639 shot. Yeah. It's like Vegas, baby. Roll the dice 00:41:22.639 --> 00:41:25.360 and see what happens. But anyway, people send 00:41:25.360 --> 00:41:26.920 their messages. We read them on the air and we 00:41:26.920 --> 00:41:29.519 have a good time with it if we can. And sometimes 00:41:29.519 --> 00:41:31.199 we get some really good questions. So we're actually 00:41:31.199 --> 00:41:33.659 going to read them and I'm gonna start out with 00:41:33.659 --> 00:41:37.739 at Stinky McGee. Oh my man. Sup Mark Mo Show, 00:41:37.940 --> 00:41:41.000 would you rather have a completely loyal, somewhat 00:41:41.000 --> 00:41:44.639 average looking significant other or one that 00:41:44.639 --> 00:41:48.619 looks like a supermodel but isn't always necessarily 00:41:48.619 --> 00:41:51.980 faithful? Loyalty above all, you know. Yeah. 00:41:51.980 --> 00:41:57.969 If you're that deluded. or shallow to to desire 00:41:57.969 --> 00:42:01.489 that inner quotes trophy wife or trophy partner 00:42:01.489 --> 00:42:05.349 it's first of all first and foremost that's on 00:42:05.349 --> 00:42:08.909 you you do you whatever it's not me that's not 00:42:08.909 --> 00:42:12.329 me loyalty above all you know looks come second 00:42:12.329 --> 00:42:16.349 to personality and kindness and humor things 00:42:16.349 --> 00:42:19.889 of that sort so definitely definitely the former 00:42:19.889 --> 00:42:24.619 for me for me um In case, ladies and gentlemen, 00:42:24.719 --> 00:42:28.179 in case you are not aware, maybe you're completely 00:42:28.179 --> 00:42:33.019 new to this. If so, hi. Hello. I am kind of a 00:42:33.019 --> 00:42:37.119 low -level menace, and that being the case, and 00:42:37.119 --> 00:42:42.179 the fact that humanity has let me down more times 00:42:42.179 --> 00:42:44.360 than I can count in the past two years. Sure. 00:42:45.099 --> 00:42:49.489 So, I'm a bit jaded, maybe? Two years? Okay, 00:42:49.670 --> 00:42:51.829 to be fair, more than that. More than that. It's 00:42:51.829 --> 00:42:54.329 been a rough decade. It's been a rough decade. 00:42:54.409 --> 00:42:56.570 There's no question. Aidan knows, I was trying 00:42:56.570 --> 00:42:59.369 to be kind, but yeah. It's just, it's one of 00:42:59.369 --> 00:43:02.789 those things where, you know, if there is a corner 00:43:02.789 --> 00:43:05.110 in the room, my pinky toe will find it. It's 00:43:05.110 --> 00:43:08.230 kind of like that decade. But at any rate, I'm 00:43:08.230 --> 00:43:09.989 not here to bitch about it, but I'm just saying, 00:43:10.469 --> 00:43:14.250 in this particular question, maybe I'm not looking 00:43:14.250 --> 00:43:18.460 for that faithful, loyal person. or average looking, 00:43:18.639 --> 00:43:22.480 whatever you said. But if I'm not going to be 00:43:22.480 --> 00:43:26.860 super serious about this thing anyway, why not 00:43:26.860 --> 00:43:28.900 have some arm candy and have some fun? Sure. 00:43:28.920 --> 00:43:31.019 And if they go and do some of the else, I don't 00:43:31.019 --> 00:43:33.840 care. It's one of those things. I guess that's 00:43:33.840 --> 00:43:36.300 like I was saying with like, you know, personal 00:43:36.300 --> 00:43:39.820 touch, personal taste. Yeah. If you're not super 00:43:39.820 --> 00:43:42.519 serious, then they're not super serious and it's 00:43:42.519 --> 00:43:45.320 just. Yell could just be fun on the side or something. 00:43:45.539 --> 00:43:47.320 Yep. And there's nothing wrong with that either. 00:43:47.880 --> 00:43:49.380 Yeah, nothing wrong with that either. It's just 00:43:49.380 --> 00:43:52.119 not up my alley. Yeah. Yeah, I may take that 00:43:52.119 --> 00:43:55.239 last one. Just because when I hear something 00:43:55.239 --> 00:44:02.199 like loyal, I have... Yeah. Qualms. I do. I do. 00:44:02.400 --> 00:44:05.159 I don't... Like I said, I have questions about 00:44:05.159 --> 00:44:09.920 humanity these days. Me too. And I know, I know, 00:44:10.119 --> 00:44:15.820 I just feel... that people, genuine people, loyal 00:44:15.820 --> 00:44:17.920 people, I think it's in short supply these days. 00:44:18.039 --> 00:44:20.619 And maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I 00:44:20.619 --> 00:44:23.880 just happen to be super unlucky the last 10 years. 00:44:24.920 --> 00:44:29.500 Or I'm not. Or I'm not. Yeah. You know, there 00:44:29.500 --> 00:44:32.079 are statistical anomalies out there. That does 00:44:32.079 --> 00:44:34.119 happen. It does happen. It's a part of statistics. 00:44:34.440 --> 00:44:38.440 It does happen. but at any rate chances are chances 00:44:38.440 --> 00:44:41.800 are we're gonna do that last one at child of 00:44:41.800 --> 00:44:44.659 the corn oh no i grew up on a farm in central 00:44:44.659 --> 00:44:46.940 indiana and the movie children of the corn fucked 00:44:46.940 --> 00:44:50.099 me up for a long time is there any horror movie 00:44:50.099 --> 00:44:53.239 that really messed with your brain oh man when 00:44:53.239 --> 00:44:56.980 i was a wee lad i watched uh paranormal activity 00:44:56.980 --> 00:45:02.340 probably watched it too young but that I had 00:45:02.340 --> 00:45:05.679 to have been a tween or an early teen, and after 00:45:05.679 --> 00:45:07.820 watching that I slept with a nightlight on for 00:45:07.820 --> 00:45:10.579 a couple weeks. So that one, that was probably 00:45:10.579 --> 00:45:12.880 just a timing issue. I watched that one too early. 00:45:13.519 --> 00:45:17.880 I think the more recent one was when I watched 00:45:17.880 --> 00:45:20.699 Insidious for the first time. That's pretty terrifying. 00:45:20.960 --> 00:45:24.059 That one kind of fucked me up. I don't know, 00:45:24.659 --> 00:45:29.400 it's some kind of ethereal... Don't know if omnipotence 00:45:29.400 --> 00:45:31.739 the right word, but that type of that type of 00:45:31.739 --> 00:45:35.119 boogeyman that can turn sure You know recorded 00:45:35.119 --> 00:45:39.440 film or art into real -life horror in a horror 00:45:39.440 --> 00:45:42.340 movie Such a cool concept that one kind of fucked 00:45:42.340 --> 00:45:45.760 with my brain for a little while I think one 00:45:45.760 --> 00:45:48.780 of the ones I most enjoyed recently was a movie 00:45:48.780 --> 00:45:50.920 called Talk to Me, an Australian horror movie 00:45:50.920 --> 00:45:52.559 I think we talked about a couple times. Yeah, 00:45:52.679 --> 00:45:55.280 oh yeah. That one I really enjoyed. I thought 00:45:55.280 --> 00:45:58.599 that was fantastic, but yeah, if I have to, if 00:45:58.599 --> 00:46:00.599 I'm thinking about ones that mess with my brain, 00:46:00.739 --> 00:46:02.880 it's gotta be Paranormal Activity when I was 00:46:02.880 --> 00:46:06.039 a wee lad and Insidious. Insidious 2 was fucked 00:46:06.039 --> 00:46:09.559 up also. Yeah, those are both really good. For 00:46:09.559 --> 00:46:12.469 me... I grew up in the southwest side of Chicago, 00:46:12.590 --> 00:46:14.389 so I was in long time Chicago before I came here 00:46:14.389 --> 00:46:18.750 to Indiana. And for whatever reason, the woods 00:46:18.750 --> 00:46:22.309 have always been a thing for me. Oh, sure. Now, 00:46:22.389 --> 00:46:25.389 don't get me wrong, I love nature. I think Montana 00:46:25.389 --> 00:46:27.590 and Wyoming and the United States. Beautiful. 00:46:27.730 --> 00:46:30.190 Are just beautiful. I love it. Coeur d 'Alene, 00:46:30.190 --> 00:46:34.090 Idaho and Washington. I love it all. It's really 00:46:34.090 --> 00:46:37.610 great. I'm not a fan of the woods. Sure, it's 00:46:37.610 --> 00:46:39.849 a fair point to make. I got lost in the woods 00:46:39.849 --> 00:46:42.010 with your sister once, and I thought I was gonna 00:46:42.010 --> 00:46:45.429 get mauled by a bear. It's a fun story. It's 00:46:45.429 --> 00:46:47.469 definitely a good story. In hindsight, it's a 00:46:47.469 --> 00:46:49.469 fun story. In hindsight, it's a fun story. When 00:46:49.469 --> 00:46:51.230 you're running through the woods going, no snakes, 00:46:51.329 --> 00:46:54.050 no bears, that's like half funny, half terrifying. 00:46:54.050 --> 00:46:57.550 Right, right, right. So, yeah, I've never been 00:46:57.550 --> 00:47:00.880 a fan. And when I saw the movie Blair Witch Project. 00:47:01.019 --> 00:47:03.639 Oh, there you go. The way they did it seemed 00:47:03.639 --> 00:47:06.679 so real. Like there was this group doing a documentary, 00:47:06.940 --> 00:47:10.840 but it was so terrifying and their level of terror 00:47:10.840 --> 00:47:14.559 and confusion just slowly increased throughout 00:47:14.559 --> 00:47:17.559 the film to the point where you're getting near 00:47:17.559 --> 00:47:20.480 the end and people are missing and she's frantic 00:47:20.480 --> 00:47:23.480 and and we sat three rows from the front of the 00:47:23.480 --> 00:47:26.500 screen. Oh, it's good. We were just like in it 00:47:26.500 --> 00:47:29.590 and Terrified the hell out of me. I had chills 00:47:29.590 --> 00:47:32.309 like numerous times throughout the show and that's 00:47:32.309 --> 00:47:35.130 one of those first of its kind horror movies 00:47:35.130 --> 00:47:38.650 I think so. Yeah, I really do I think it's one 00:47:38.650 --> 00:47:40.789 that kind of holds its own right another one 00:47:40.789 --> 00:47:43.750 that did it for me was Halloween I was a young 00:47:43.750 --> 00:47:47.929 lad when I saw Halloween and so Would think about 00:47:47.929 --> 00:47:50.550 like being a kid at grade school and I'd be walking 00:47:50.550 --> 00:47:53.769 home from school. It's a cloudy day Of course, 00:47:53.769 --> 00:47:57.170 it gets dark at 430 and it's like you're walking 00:47:57.170 --> 00:47:59.269 home from school. It's like 3 so it's kind of 00:47:59.269 --> 00:48:01.789 sort of dark It's cloudy and the wind coming 00:48:01.789 --> 00:48:04.449 blowing and you just feel like somebody's watching 00:48:04.449 --> 00:48:06.869 you Yeah, you know and you're kind of looking 00:48:06.869 --> 00:48:10.210 around corners and then you get freaked out It's 00:48:10.210 --> 00:48:12.809 just it was it was crazy. So I think those two 00:48:12.809 --> 00:48:17.030 movies for me. That's good. That's good Uh, ah 00:48:17.030 --> 00:48:20.469 -hah. At SoxfanJerry. Oh, man, dude. Ah, Jer. 00:48:21.170 --> 00:48:24.389 Are they getting better or am I delusional? I 00:48:24.389 --> 00:48:27.369 have come in from the ledge, but my family still 00:48:27.369 --> 00:48:31.469 worries. I don't know if I should cry or sleep. 00:48:31.809 --> 00:48:35.090 Sometimes I do both. First of all, I don't blame 00:48:35.090 --> 00:48:37.809 you. Secondly, I wouldn't live near a ledge. 00:48:38.510 --> 00:48:40.469 Thirdly, at least you're not the Rockies this 00:48:40.469 --> 00:48:43.559 year, hey? At least you're not the Rockies this 00:48:43.559 --> 00:48:45.900 year. Right, and they've got mountains to jump 00:48:45.900 --> 00:48:48.119 from. Yeah, exactly. That's rough. Yeah, they're 00:48:48.119 --> 00:48:50.679 a short ride from saying, hey, ask this park, 00:48:50.760 --> 00:48:54.500 how far can I jump? All I'm saying, Jerry, is 00:48:54.500 --> 00:48:57.389 it doesn't matter how far you're down. You're 00:48:57.389 --> 00:48:59.889 moving a little bit up, all right? Yeah, aren't 00:48:59.889 --> 00:49:03.090 you? Even if it's second worst, it's not worst 00:49:03.090 --> 00:49:06.329 worst. Exactly. If you're worst twice in a row, 00:49:06.469 --> 00:49:08.309 then hey, maybe that ledge sounds a little tasty, 00:49:08.449 --> 00:49:10.150 right? It sounds a little tasty. It sounds a 00:49:10.150 --> 00:49:12.230 little tasty. Like, maybe that's a good option. 00:49:13.710 --> 00:49:18.269 Surely we just. Yes. But, yeah, nah, socks still. 00:49:18.590 --> 00:49:21.630 Yeah. Yeah, to be fair. As the Lord intends. 00:49:21.630 --> 00:49:24.030 As the Lord intends. It's stonerstanley420 to 00:49:24.030 --> 00:49:27.329 wrap it up for me. My man. Momo and Alan have 00:49:27.329 --> 00:49:31.550 a happy day. Thanks. He wishes us a happy day. 00:49:31.849 --> 00:49:37.389 I like your show about the mules. I like mules. 00:49:37.590 --> 00:49:42.650 They are like horses. And they are like Kevin. 00:49:42.929 --> 00:49:47.730 Giddy up. Does he mean 40 acres and a mule? Yeah, 00:49:47.730 --> 00:49:49.849 I was gonna say, I don't know what he's referencing, 00:49:50.010 --> 00:49:53.369 but that does make more sense. He's a bit late 00:49:53.369 --> 00:49:56.179 to the party. I think that was last season. He's 00:49:56.179 --> 00:49:58.119 probably got it on replay. Yeah. You know what? 00:49:58.199 --> 00:50:00.159 I don't blame him. It's one of our more popular 00:50:00.159 --> 00:50:04.219 episodes. Yeah. I keep it up, I guess, Stan. 00:50:04.619 --> 00:50:08.159 For sure. If you get endless entertainment from 00:50:08.159 --> 00:50:12.780 re -listening to our shows, that's quite a fantastic 00:50:12.780 --> 00:50:16.619 sign. I would say, I don't know how familiar 00:50:16.619 --> 00:50:19.599 mules are with horses. Or as he says, horsices. 00:50:19.860 --> 00:50:22.699 Horsices. Yeah, they're both mammals, so you've 00:50:22.699 --> 00:50:24.860 got that going for you. I would just say keep 00:50:24.860 --> 00:50:34.739 up your middle school type learning, maybe? I'm 00:50:34.739 --> 00:50:38.500 always a big fan of legalizing that green, but 00:50:38.500 --> 00:50:42.840 if it deteriorates your brain that far, I... 00:50:42.840 --> 00:50:45.269 Take a break. Yeah, I'm no doctor. Maybe take 00:50:45.269 --> 00:50:47.190 a tolerance break though, hey? It might be a 00:50:47.190 --> 00:50:50.550 good idea. Yeah, maybe smell the flowers with 00:50:50.550 --> 00:50:54.170 a fresh nose for once. Boy, he needs something. 00:50:54.349 --> 00:50:58.269 That is for sure. Well, that's my DMs. What do 00:50:58.269 --> 00:51:01.789 you got, Aidan? I got a DM here from my boy at 00:51:01.789 --> 00:51:07.750 Mr. Ouchy. If I offer you $1 ,000 to push a button 00:51:07.750 --> 00:51:11.489 that breaks the toe of a random acquaintance, 00:51:12.010 --> 00:51:15.909 do you press it? If so, how many times do you? 00:51:16.150 --> 00:51:18.590 That's tough. Well, here's the thing. Yeah, yeah, 00:51:18.590 --> 00:51:21.889 yeah, go ahead. Based on Facebook, I've got about 00:51:21.889 --> 00:51:26.449 842 Facebook friends. So you are acquainted with 00:51:26.449 --> 00:51:29.190 them? There are maybe somewhere between 20 and 00:51:29.190 --> 00:51:32.090 30 that I communicate with on a regular or semi 00:51:32.090 --> 00:51:35.570 -regular basis. Okay. There are those I wish 00:51:35.570 --> 00:51:38.530 happy birthday to. I communicate with them maybe 00:51:38.530 --> 00:51:42.150 once or twice a year. If I can do that and not 00:51:42.150 --> 00:51:44.929 know who this is happening to, it could possibly 00:51:44.929 --> 00:51:47.030 happen to someone that I just don't communicate 00:51:47.030 --> 00:51:49.409 with. I would never know that they busted a toe. 00:51:49.409 --> 00:51:50.750 That's true. They don't know it came from you. 00:51:50.849 --> 00:51:52.849 And they don't know it came from me. I'm pressing 00:51:52.849 --> 00:51:55.269 it five times. I'm taking five grand. Five grand. 00:51:55.690 --> 00:51:58.329 That's pretty nice. Now I... That's a vacay, 00:51:58.349 --> 00:52:00.409 man. With a long weekend to Vegas, baby. Yep, 00:52:00.610 --> 00:52:02.809 exactly. You have some leftover, too. And some 00:52:02.809 --> 00:52:05.030 leftover, or more, depending how I do. Exactly, 00:52:05.349 --> 00:52:09.369 exactly. Be smart about it. I... I like the offer. 00:52:09.670 --> 00:52:13.110 It might say something about me that I have a 00:52:13.110 --> 00:52:16.469 smaller acquaintance base and a smaller friend 00:52:16.469 --> 00:52:19.349 base than, of course, you have. I'd still be 00:52:19.349 --> 00:52:22.489 willing to press it, you know? Especially in 00:52:22.489 --> 00:52:24.630 a place without universal health care, that broken 00:52:24.630 --> 00:52:27.510 toe might be pricey and uncomfortable for that 00:52:27.510 --> 00:52:30.170 individual. But hey, I've met a lot of people. 00:52:30.230 --> 00:52:32.929 I've become acquainted with a lot of people. 00:52:33.070 --> 00:52:37.670 You have. So... Maybe I'll also press it five 00:52:37.670 --> 00:52:42.110 or ten times and just see what happens. I think 00:52:42.110 --> 00:52:46.590 maybe my My morals might get the best of me. 00:52:46.590 --> 00:52:49.329 I might stop at just a couple but even then a 00:52:49.329 --> 00:52:52.489 couple grand is is fantastic helps Yeah, absolutely 00:52:52.489 --> 00:52:56.190 fantastic buy a new set of four wheels for your 00:52:56.190 --> 00:52:59.070 car or something like that So what do you do 00:52:59.070 --> 00:53:01.269 if you take it you take the deal you press it 00:53:01.269 --> 00:53:03.489 tense, right? And then your mother calls you 00:53:03.489 --> 00:53:06.329 the next day. It goes, god damn it, I stubbed 00:53:06.329 --> 00:53:11.329 my toe, I broke my toe. Oh my god. Do you feel 00:53:11.329 --> 00:53:15.050 like ass, or do you play off and go, oh no, sorry. 00:53:15.210 --> 00:53:18.010 I think you do both. I think first and foremost, 00:53:18.150 --> 00:53:20.289 I feel like dog shit, because I'm pretty sure 00:53:20.289 --> 00:53:23.650 I caused that. Secondly, of course you play it 00:53:23.650 --> 00:53:25.550 off, oh my god, what a terrible thing to happen, 00:53:25.769 --> 00:53:29.809 I'm sorry to hear that. Do you take accountability 00:53:29.809 --> 00:53:32.590 is the important question. Like, hey, as some 00:53:32.590 --> 00:53:34.590 magical genie appeared, I pushed a button. He 00:53:34.590 --> 00:53:36.909 said it might break a toe of someone I know. 00:53:37.630 --> 00:53:40.510 Hell no, you don't. Hell no, because first of 00:53:40.510 --> 00:53:43.449 all, that's not believable. Secondly, it makes 00:53:43.449 --> 00:53:46.230 you seem as insane as a magical genie breaking 00:53:46.230 --> 00:53:49.969 someone's toe. That's fair. So no, you don't 00:53:49.969 --> 00:53:53.190 take accountability. I think you get a couple 00:53:53.190 --> 00:53:56.210 easy grand. Yeah, that's fair. I'm with you. 00:53:57.220 --> 00:54:01.880 At Hambone, our boy. Hambone was up. Would you 00:54:01.880 --> 00:54:04.519 rather, I love a would you rather, would you 00:54:04.519 --> 00:54:08.760 rather work one day per month, but you make $6 00:54:08.760 --> 00:54:13.699 ,000 monthly salary? Or you work a regular nine 00:54:13.699 --> 00:54:18.360 to five, 40 hours a week, but make a $40 ,000 00:54:18.360 --> 00:54:22.880 per month salary? That's tough. That's tough. 00:54:23.539 --> 00:54:27.619 Six grand? Six grand. for eight hours a month 00:54:27.619 --> 00:54:31.980 72 yeah so you're talking you're talking a livable 00:54:31.980 --> 00:54:35.619 wage working one day a month otherwise you actually 00:54:35.619 --> 00:54:39.019 become the one percent working at nine to five 00:54:39.019 --> 00:54:42.320 i'm i'm taking the six grand i'm in the same 00:54:42.320 --> 00:54:45.059 boat i'm so glad we agree i'm getting yes my 00:54:45.059 --> 00:54:47.400 freedom back i'm gonna wake up on a morning i'm 00:54:47.400 --> 00:54:49.400 gonna see a movie i'm gonna go walk in a park 00:54:49.400 --> 00:54:52.920 exactly lunch with you like that will be worth 00:54:52.920 --> 00:54:55.780 it yes hundred percent Yes, exactly. Because 00:54:55.780 --> 00:54:58.019 not only do you have six grand a month, which 00:54:58.019 --> 00:55:03.460 as of 2025 is a livable wage, you also have that 00:55:03.460 --> 00:55:08.820 extra 200 some hours per month. You get to feel 00:55:08.820 --> 00:55:11.539 like a human being. Freedom. You get to feel 00:55:11.539 --> 00:55:13.559 like a human being for fucking once in this. 00:55:13.739 --> 00:55:17.099 Walk to a library and read a book. Yes. Go to 00:55:17.099 --> 00:55:21.800 the lake. Just live. Just live. Make art. You 00:55:21.800 --> 00:55:24.039 know, that's that's the thing too. It's like 00:55:24.039 --> 00:55:27.900 and semi related to this like if people ever 00:55:27.900 --> 00:55:30.880 You ever came into fuck you money, right? Whether 00:55:30.880 --> 00:55:33.800 it's through through a will or through a lottery 00:55:33.800 --> 00:55:35.860 or however It happens and you got a humongous 00:55:35.860 --> 00:55:38.059 chunk of money where you never have to work again, 00:55:38.099 --> 00:55:40.219 right? And then people like oh, well, I'm gonna 00:55:40.219 --> 00:55:42.820 always open that business. I've wanted to fuck 00:55:42.820 --> 00:55:46.099 No, why would you try? Why why would you why 00:55:46.099 --> 00:55:48.440 would you work you put money in some investment 00:55:48.440 --> 00:55:52.070 and and live your life, right? Live your life. 00:55:52.230 --> 00:55:55.510 Yeah, invest in small business. Yeah, right invest 00:55:55.510 --> 00:55:58.650 in other people. Yes Which is hard because I've 00:55:58.650 --> 00:56:01.150 had the thing with people lately, but I know 00:56:01.150 --> 00:56:04.170 the ones that there are good people Yeah, there 00:56:04.170 --> 00:56:07.949 are good people. I also take the 6k monthly working 00:56:07.949 --> 00:56:12.309 one day a week. Yeah, that's so So freeing and 00:56:12.309 --> 00:56:14.889 of course like oh, well you could retire in a 00:56:14.889 --> 00:56:18.610 decade if you take the 40 well fuck that Fuck 00:56:18.610 --> 00:56:21.349 that. Why would I have to retire if I only work 00:56:21.349 --> 00:56:23.250 one day a month? Besides, they're just gonna 00:56:23.250 --> 00:56:25.730 take more taxes from you anyway. Right. Right. 00:56:26.230 --> 00:56:29.610 Yeah. Absolutely work one day a week. So freeing. 00:56:30.050 --> 00:56:33.309 Final carpe diem I got was from Dr. Doctorface 00:56:33.309 --> 00:56:37.650 asking, what's a sign from your body you shouldn't 00:56:37.650 --> 00:56:41.190 ignore ever? The first one that comes to mind 00:56:41.190 --> 00:56:46.280 for me is... tiredness, feeling sleepy. And I 00:56:46.280 --> 00:56:49.360 especially get this if I have like long drives 00:56:49.360 --> 00:56:53.079 or things like that, because it's so dangerous. 00:56:53.079 --> 00:56:57.119 It is so dangerous that that type of fatigue 00:56:57.119 --> 00:57:00.679 is equivalent with driving while high on meth. 00:57:01.059 --> 00:57:04.599 You know, it's that same type of you're not aware. 00:57:04.679 --> 00:57:07.579 Yeah, because your brain is literally that fatigued. 00:57:07.699 --> 00:57:11.059 You've got, you know, slow reaction times or 00:57:11.059 --> 00:57:15.380 no reaction time. Yep. So, yeah, I would say 00:57:15.380 --> 00:57:17.480 fatigue and tiredness you should never ignore. 00:57:17.860 --> 00:57:21.159 And also thirst, because there are so many people, 00:57:21.480 --> 00:57:23.739 especially in this country, there are so many 00:57:23.739 --> 00:57:27.639 people that are just dehydrated. Just go out 00:57:27.639 --> 00:57:31.679 and drink water, man. It's not hard. Brita Fittsler's 00:57:31.679 --> 00:57:34.719 pretty cheap, even if you've got dog shit tap 00:57:34.719 --> 00:57:37.800 water. Shout out Flint, Michigan. We never forget 00:57:37.800 --> 00:57:42.869 about you. But yeah, I mean, just don't... Try 00:57:42.869 --> 00:57:44.869 not to be thirsty try not to be tired if you 00:57:44.869 --> 00:57:48.570 can help it. Yeah. Oh my god So easier said than 00:57:48.570 --> 00:57:51.289 not, but that's that's my advice. Yeah, it's 00:57:51.289 --> 00:57:53.869 the first two that come to mind Yeah, no, that's 00:57:53.869 --> 00:57:57.110 that's good Being that I'm a little bit older 00:57:57.110 --> 00:58:01.949 and things are starting to slowly break. I think 00:58:01.949 --> 00:58:07.710 Boy I would say Just because it pertains to me 00:58:07.710 --> 00:58:10.670 weight is a thing. You can't ignore weight because 00:58:10.670 --> 00:58:15.039 when you get heavy, it tends to cause other health 00:58:15.039 --> 00:58:17.960 problems. So you want to kind of trim down. I 00:58:17.960 --> 00:58:20.119 just joined a gym. I used to be part of a gym. 00:58:20.480 --> 00:58:21.980 I went five days a week. I was really starting 00:58:21.980 --> 00:58:25.480 to get in pretty good shape. And then various 00:58:25.480 --> 00:58:28.639 things happened that kind of threw my health 00:58:28.639 --> 00:58:31.019 journey off track. But I'm still going to start 00:58:31.019 --> 00:58:34.820 to get that back on track. And so I think weight 00:58:34.820 --> 00:58:37.360 is something that's important. Your eyes are 00:58:37.360 --> 00:58:41.170 very important. I know for me, glaucoma runs 00:58:41.170 --> 00:58:42.929 in the family, cataracts, all that kind of stuff. 00:58:43.829 --> 00:58:46.469 So when I sit there and I look and I kind of 00:58:46.469 --> 00:58:48.329 start to see floaters already and things like, 00:58:48.510 --> 00:58:52.050 it's like, I know bad things are going to happen 00:58:52.050 --> 00:58:54.070 with my eyes, but if you notice that or your 00:58:54.070 --> 00:58:56.349 pressure's high or maybe you're not quite seeing 00:58:56.349 --> 00:58:59.349 like you used to, get your shit checked out because 00:58:59.349 --> 00:59:01.369 when they're gone, they're gone. There's nothing 00:59:01.369 --> 00:59:04.050 you can do to get it back. Better to help it 00:59:04.050 --> 00:59:07.590 now. Yeah, oh, for certain. I think the same 00:59:07.590 --> 00:59:11.449 thing runs with ears and hearing, too. It's very 00:59:11.449 --> 00:59:15.849 easy to find massive subwoofers and loud music 00:59:15.849 --> 00:59:18.110 fun. And I do the same thing. I literally have 00:59:18.110 --> 00:59:23.670 this huge 12 -inch 600 -watt sub in my car. It's 00:59:23.670 --> 00:59:27.010 very fun. But you have to realize your hearing 00:59:27.010 --> 00:59:31.030 as your sight is also temporary and you can't 00:59:31.030 --> 00:59:34.820 abuse it. You know, you can't abuse that. You 00:59:34.820 --> 00:59:37.199 know, my phone gives me little notifications 00:59:37.199 --> 00:59:41.300 like, hey, music too loud or, you know, loud 00:59:41.300 --> 00:59:44.699 environment, you should move away. So it, luckily 00:59:44.699 --> 00:59:48.059 I don't hit that often, but whenever I do, it 00:59:48.059 --> 00:59:50.280 makes me realize like, ah, shit, I really shouldn't 00:59:50.280 --> 00:59:54.260 be doing that. So I think both are, both are 00:59:54.260 --> 00:59:57.840 disposable and you should be cautious. Agreed. 00:59:57.960 --> 01:00:01.250 Yeah. And that's it for your DMs today. And that's 01:00:01.250 --> 01:00:03.190 it for me. All right, that's it for the DMs. 01:00:03.329 --> 01:00:05.309 We have one thing coming before we take our next 01:00:05.309 --> 01:00:08.250 break. And that is the other foods with Aiden 01:00:08.250 --> 01:00:10.920 Maloney. And it's like, you know, we're not talking 01:00:10.920 --> 01:00:12.960 hamburgers here, folks. We're not talking Chicago 01:00:12.960 --> 01:00:15.500 style hot dog. Although we wish. Although we 01:00:15.500 --> 01:00:19.119 wish. I had an interesting conversation today 01:00:19.119 --> 01:00:24.199 with my friend, John Influid. Shout out, John. 01:00:24.199 --> 01:00:26.519 Shout out, John. He listens to the show. We appreciate 01:00:26.519 --> 01:00:31.719 you. He was talking about a hot dog and somebody 01:00:31.719 --> 01:00:33.820 was saying, because we're talking briefly about 01:00:33.820 --> 01:00:38.019 food and like Chicago things and. said something 01:00:38.019 --> 01:00:40.820 about him and a hot dog and ketchup. And me and 01:00:40.820 --> 01:00:43.940 my buddy Dave were like, huh? What? Oh, no. And 01:00:43.940 --> 01:00:46.139 so he was like, no, no, no. He's like, you guys 01:00:46.139 --> 01:00:49.300 don't understand. I have a hot dog with my ketchup. 01:00:49.760 --> 01:00:53.460 I'm like, no. I'm like, what are you? I'm like, 01:00:53.699 --> 01:00:56.519 it's so we're just be honest. So I said, right. 01:00:56.840 --> 01:00:58.659 I said, John, you know where you need to go if 01:00:58.659 --> 01:01:00.380 that's how you like your hot dog. He goes, where? 01:01:00.539 --> 01:01:02.739 Wiener Circle. You need to go to the Wiener Circle. 01:01:03.269 --> 01:01:06.289 And ask for that hot dog exactly the way you 01:01:06.289 --> 01:01:09.210 explained it. Because those women will eat him 01:01:09.210 --> 01:01:11.469 alive and that is not in a good way. Yes, absolutely. 01:01:11.889 --> 01:01:13.989 Well, Jonathan, best of luck to you. Best of 01:01:13.989 --> 01:01:16.630 luck to you, man, if that's where you go. I don't 01:01:16.630 --> 01:01:18.489 know what god you pray to, but you're better, 01:01:18.590 --> 01:01:20.869 dude. Shit, stick to chili cheese dogs, bro. 01:01:21.050 --> 01:01:24.929 Yeah, there you go. The other foods. Something 01:01:24.929 --> 01:01:29.329 atypical, perhaps nasty. I found a short little 01:01:29.329 --> 01:01:32.639 sweet article from the homeboys at... Disgusting 01:01:32.639 --> 01:01:36.780 Food Museum. This is something out of South Korea 01:01:36.780 --> 01:01:44.800 called sannaj sannak sannakji sannakji I believe 01:01:44.800 --> 01:01:47.380 I hopefully am pronouncing that okay. It's an 01:01:47.380 --> 01:01:51.139 octopus dish. Here's the thing. The octopus is 01:01:51.139 --> 01:01:55.599 killed just before serving. immediately sliced 01:01:55.599 --> 01:01:58.800 into smaller pieces. Since the nerves still have 01:01:58.800 --> 01:02:02.679 activity after death, the arms continue to move 01:02:02.679 --> 01:02:08.400 on the plate when eaten. What? Yeah. Two -thirds 01:02:08.400 --> 01:02:14.659 of the nerves of the sanakji are located in the 01:02:14.659 --> 01:02:18.219 arms so they are capable of coordinating complex 01:02:18.219 --> 01:02:21.760 movements even after being severed from the brain. 01:02:22.010 --> 01:02:25.849 Here's where it gets fun. Oh my god. If not properly 01:02:25.849 --> 01:02:30.050 sliced, the octopus suction cups still have that 01:02:30.050 --> 01:02:33.769 same nervous system activity and can stick to 01:02:33.769 --> 01:02:38.309 the inside of the person's throat. Oh no. What? 01:02:39.090 --> 01:02:43.489 Fun stat for you. On average, six deaths per 01:02:43.489 --> 01:02:47.349 year occur to suffocation because of people eating 01:02:47.349 --> 01:02:52.650 this food dish. No, no. What are you doing? Quote, 01:02:52.650 --> 01:02:55.449 eating live octopus is rumored to be good for 01:02:55.449 --> 01:02:58.230 your blood sugar levels and contains high levels 01:02:58.230 --> 01:03:01.309 of energizing taurine, which I mean just fucking 01:03:01.309 --> 01:03:04.809 drink Red Bull, right? Yeah. Here's a little 01:03:04.809 --> 01:03:07.730 story they add. A woman stopped breathing after 01:03:07.730 --> 01:03:10.769 eating live octopus and died 16 days later. Her 01:03:10.769 --> 01:03:13.989 boyfriend had bought and served the octopus and 01:03:13.989 --> 01:03:18.110 was convicted for murder. Allegedly... What? 01:03:18.610 --> 01:03:22.449 Allegedly doing so for the insurance money he 01:03:22.449 --> 01:03:27.869 took out on her. No frickin' way. So... Fun little 01:03:27.869 --> 01:03:31.429 stories, but I... It might... I don't want to 01:03:31.429 --> 01:03:34.489 sound insensitive or ignorant. I'm just gonna 01:03:34.489 --> 01:03:38.960 say, in my opinion, don't eat octopus. Shortly 01:03:38.960 --> 01:03:42.860 after it's been killed and cut. Oh, that's so 01:03:42.860 --> 01:03:47.619 gross. Yeah, that's uh, that's Son - Sonakji 01:03:47.619 --> 01:03:50.539 for you. I really hope I'm getting the pronunciation 01:03:50.539 --> 01:03:55.139 close. Yep. Yep. So, uh, that's another food. 01:03:55.760 --> 01:03:58.039 I would recommend avoiding unless you're very 01:03:58.039 --> 01:04:01.519 adventurous and have EMTs nearby. Yeah, I'm looking 01:04:01.519 --> 01:04:04.619 at a picture of it and I think I would rather 01:04:04.619 --> 01:04:07.199 eat topsoil. I mean, it kind of looks like kangaroo 01:04:07.199 --> 01:04:09.559 vomit, right? Like, it looks like something that 01:04:09.559 --> 01:04:12.559 came out of a marsupial you're unfamiliar with. 01:04:12.860 --> 01:04:15.480 Yeah, like if you were violently ill for weeks, 01:04:15.679 --> 01:04:16.820 like, what is wrong with me? And they cut open 01:04:16.820 --> 01:04:18.400 your stomach and they pulled that out. Right, 01:04:18.460 --> 01:04:20.239 right. Be like, oh, that's what caused it. That's 01:04:20.239 --> 01:04:22.579 what caused it. He's got a sesame -covered worm. 01:04:22.699 --> 01:04:26.000 Yeah, exactly, exactly. That's disgusting. Well, 01:04:26.119 --> 01:04:29.699 hey. Well done, sir. Yeah. Yeah six people die 01:04:29.699 --> 01:04:32.619 a year to it So rest in peace to those six in 01:04:32.619 --> 01:04:35.980 2025 that may or may not have happened. Oh god, 01:04:36.139 --> 01:04:38.659 dude Yeah, that's that's where if you die eating 01:04:38.659 --> 01:04:41.780 food, dude, why are you risking it?

See, that 01:07:41.179 --> 01:07:45.119 might work. Clutch. Kind of clutch. It is. I 01:07:45.119 --> 01:07:48.460 rather enjoy that. So today's You Just Made the 01:07:48.460 --> 01:07:51.079 List. We got done doing some American cities 01:07:51.079 --> 01:07:52.960 not too long ago, and we did that with a tier 01:07:52.960 --> 01:07:56.179 list. So why not a top 10 to talk about some 01:07:56.179 --> 01:07:59.219 of our favorite international cities? We've been 01:07:59.219 --> 01:08:02.219 looking at our stats, I think since we've started. 01:08:02.789 --> 01:08:05.750 Upwards a what 25 26 country something like that 01:08:05.750 --> 01:08:08.050 true have checked into the show at a time or 01:08:08.050 --> 01:08:10.969 two We appreciate each and every one of you and 01:08:10.969 --> 01:08:13.070 all the ones that we don't have on board yet, 01:08:13.070 --> 01:08:16.449 and we hope to get you guys there What's up Curacao? 01:08:16.550 --> 01:08:19.029 They've really been big on the board man. We 01:08:19.029 --> 01:08:22.390 appreciate you guys. Can't wait to land Latvia 01:08:22.390 --> 01:08:26.430 Yes, how fun would Latvian listeners? Yeah, Luxembourg. 01:08:26.430 --> 01:08:29.409 Where you at? Yeah, I I need to I need to know 01:08:29.409 --> 01:08:31.869 that have we had Swiss listeners yet I don't 01:08:31.869 --> 01:08:34.170 think so. Oh, we should. We definitely need the 01:08:34.170 --> 01:08:36.250 Swiss. Because they're neutral and that might 01:08:36.250 --> 01:08:38.390 be where we end up having to go. Exactly, exactly. 01:08:38.449 --> 01:08:41.010 It might have to be our destination. So yeah, 01:08:41.010 --> 01:08:42.649 we want to get the Swiss on the board for sure. 01:08:43.350 --> 01:08:45.229 But yeah, these are some of our favorite international 01:08:45.229 --> 01:08:48.369 cities. And Aidan, why don't you take the lead 01:08:48.369 --> 01:08:50.550 on this one? I will take the lead on this one. 01:08:50.590 --> 01:08:53.289 So I've got a couple honorable mentions. Because 01:08:53.289 --> 01:08:55.789 as we said, no rules. And then I'll run 10 through 01:08:55.789 --> 01:08:59.390 2, save my numero uno. Beautiful.

I know in some 01:09:25.899 --> 01:09:29.619 circles, including mine, this is sacrilege, but... 01:09:29.640 --> 01:09:32.340 I think it would still be fascinating. London, 01:09:32.340 --> 01:09:34.920 England. Oh, sure. I think, I think it would 01:09:34.920 --> 01:09:37.300 be really, really fun to travel there. Number 01:09:37.300 --> 01:09:41.479 nine, Edinburgh, Scotland. Just so cool. So cool. 01:09:41.479 --> 01:09:43.439 I missed that one. That's a good one. That's 01:09:43.439 --> 01:09:46.100 a really good one. Number eight, I am, I, this, 01:09:46.659 --> 01:09:49.159 I want to go here. Like the rest of these I'm 01:09:49.159 --> 01:09:51.699 really hype about. Of course, all of them I'm 01:09:51.699 --> 01:09:54.979 hype about, but Prague, Czech Republic. Prague, 01:09:55.039 --> 01:09:58.710 Czechia would be so cool. It's a good one. So 01:09:58.710 --> 01:10:01.810 cool. Number seven, Paris, France. I know I always 01:10:01.810 --> 01:10:04.890 shit on the French, but I talk highly about, 01:10:04.890 --> 01:10:07.550 like, French country sides and the history. Wine 01:10:07.550 --> 01:10:09.989 and champagne and food and bread and all that 01:10:09.989 --> 01:10:11.750 stuff. You can keep the snails and shit, but... 01:10:11.750 --> 01:10:13.090 Yeah, I don't want any of that. The rest of the 01:10:13.090 --> 01:10:16.529 food sounds great. Escargot away. Yeah.

Not going 01:10:46.899 --> 01:10:49.300 to Suicide Forest, though. No, I think I'll avoid 01:10:49.300 --> 01:10:51.260 that. That's a skip. That didn't work out for 01:10:51.260 --> 01:10:56.090 Logan Paul. While he's still around. So... Right. 01:10:56.250 --> 01:10:59.569 All you have to be is white and rich. Yeah. Number 01:10:59.569 --> 01:11:03.270 three is Rome, Italy. The history there is fantastic 01:11:03.270 --> 01:11:06.170 and I just think it'd be fascinating. Number 01:11:06.170 --> 01:11:11.130 two... Home of Da Pope. Da Pope. The first bear's 01:11:11.130 --> 01:11:13.750 fan Pope.

So Barcelona is my number 01:11:20.810 --> 01:11:23.210 two. Yeah, I like your selections. Maybe even 01:11:23.210 --> 01:11:25.550 more than mine, but we're going to start with 01:11:25.550 --> 01:11:27.470 my honorable mentions. I got a few on there. 01:11:27.869 --> 01:11:31.630 Madrid, Spain is on there in addition to Sao 01:11:31.630 --> 01:11:35.029 Paulo. I was thinking Brazil. Yeah, Sao Paulo. 01:11:35.170 --> 01:11:37.850 I was thinking Brazil. I think would be amazing. 01:11:38.430 --> 01:11:40.369 And then Berlin. Yeah, there you go. Is on there 01:11:40.369 --> 01:11:42.729 as well. German roots. And I think it's just 01:11:42.729 --> 01:11:45.890 a great international city. It's like I just 01:11:45.890 --> 01:11:47.569 want to go to Berlin for like a week and just 01:11:47.569 --> 01:11:50.260 read. in a coffee shop. Right. Yeah.

People might say I'm playing favorites because 01:12:09.100 --> 01:12:11.239 you guys listen to our show and we love you. 01:12:12.340 --> 01:12:14.579 Well we did some research and we pulled up pics. 01:12:14.720 --> 01:12:16.739 It looks beautiful. It looks beautiful. I'm like 01:12:16.739 --> 01:12:19.359 wow. Why would I not want to go there? So I believe 01:12:19.359 --> 01:12:21.979 an island country. It is. Yeah. It's an island 01:12:21.979 --> 01:12:25.420 country and they get so little rain and like 01:12:25.420 --> 01:12:27.760 sun almost every day. Beautiful. So I'm down. 01:12:28.359 --> 01:12:30.880 Beautiful. Number nine, Seoul, Korea. There you 01:12:30.880 --> 01:12:33.520 go. There you go. Number eight, another country 01:12:33.520 --> 01:12:36.140 with some listenership here on the Mark Mo show, 01:12:36.640 --> 01:12:40.819 Moscow. Oh, now I am not a Putin fan. But I am 01:12:40.819 --> 01:12:44.380 a fan of the people and the culture. The history? 01:12:44.520 --> 01:12:47.500 In the history. That's a good addition. It is. 01:12:47.579 --> 01:12:50.119 That's a great addition. I actually had a friend 01:12:50.119 --> 01:12:54.079 before Putin and like just the middle time when 01:12:54.079 --> 01:12:57.239 Moscow was trying to figure out democracy and 01:12:57.239 --> 01:12:59.039 she went with like a school trip and she said 01:12:59.039 --> 01:13:00.659 it was just a beautiful place. I'm sure. And 01:13:00.659 --> 01:13:03.680 the people were so hospitable. Kind, I'm sure. 01:13:03.739 --> 01:13:07.079 They were. Yeah. So that's a good addition. If 01:13:07.079 --> 01:13:08.920 things ever change, there would be a really cool 01:13:08.920 --> 01:13:12.289 place to go, I think. Number seven, Rome. There 01:13:12.289 --> 01:13:16.050 you go. Number six, Paris. Yep. Once again, got 01:13:16.050 --> 01:13:19.329 issues with the French people sometimes, but 01:13:19.329 --> 01:13:20.750 I think that's just who they are. I think most 01:13:20.750 --> 01:13:21.850 - And I think they're that way to everybody. 01:13:21.850 --> 01:13:25.510 Yeah. To be fair. From everything I've heard, 01:13:26.529 --> 01:13:29.510 most French people in major cities are more assholes 01:13:29.510 --> 01:13:32.369 to terrorists, or pardon me, not terrorists. 01:13:32.630 --> 01:13:34.529 We're all assholes to terrorists, as we should 01:13:34.529 --> 01:13:39.090 be. tourists. Whereas if you go to the French 01:13:39.090 --> 01:13:42.890 countryside, it's less so. Yeah. But I kind of 01:13:42.890 --> 01:13:47.710 get it. Because most Western tourists are menaces. 01:13:48.189 --> 01:13:50.970 Yeah. Dickish menaces. Yeah. So I kind of don't 01:13:50.970 --> 01:13:53.369 blame them. Right. But at the same time, it's 01:13:53.369 --> 01:13:56.380 like... You can't live your life generalizing 01:13:56.380 --> 01:13:58.500 people like that. That's that's not fair to them. 01:13:58.640 --> 01:14:00.340 It's not for to yourself But there's a reason 01:14:00.340 --> 01:14:02.439 the French love the Irish when they come exactly 01:14:02.439 --> 01:14:05.159 because the Irish are really nice fun. Yes Yeah, 01:14:05.340 --> 01:14:09.000 so you get points. Yeah, that's why France made 01:14:09.000 --> 01:14:12.699 both oralists. Hey. Yep. That's fair. Yeah Number 01:14:12.699 --> 01:14:16.720 five London. There you go. Not based on the crown 01:14:16.720 --> 01:14:20.800 or the government House of Commons and they can 01:14:20.800 --> 01:14:24.920 all go fuck themselves really but the culture 01:14:24.920 --> 01:14:28.880 and All of that I dig and Iron Maiden and the 01:14:28.880 --> 01:14:32.500 who? And Led Zeppelin and black sap. I mean how 01:14:32.500 --> 01:14:37.300 you can't deny that the Beatles, right? It's 01:14:37.300 --> 01:14:40.300 so there's there's enough there the the British 01:14:40.300 --> 01:14:43.779 working -class have more in common than the with 01:14:43.779 --> 01:14:47.939 the Irish working class, then the Crown has in 01:14:47.939 --> 01:14:52.460 common with anybody. Correct. Yeah. Period. Yes, 01:14:52.579 --> 01:14:56.920 that is true. Number four, Amsterdam. Oh, nice. 01:14:57.239 --> 01:15:00.880 Yeah. Look, I don't know. I don't know if I'll 01:15:00.880 --> 01:15:03.739 make it over to Europe. My idea was that if I 01:15:03.739 --> 01:15:06.289 ever went... I'm going, the first time I go, 01:15:06.470 --> 01:15:07.869 I'm going, I'm spending like a week in Ireland 01:15:07.869 --> 01:15:11.149 because that's just what I want to do. The first 01:15:11.149 --> 01:15:13.430 time I want to go, I want to move there. Yes, 01:15:13.430 --> 01:15:15.069 I want to move there. And then I go to Europe 01:15:15.069 --> 01:15:19.270 whatever the hell I want. So then I figured if 01:15:19.270 --> 01:15:21.789 I ever got to Europe... I'm doing it all in one 01:15:21.789 --> 01:15:23.970 shot, kind of like I did Washington, DC, and 01:15:23.970 --> 01:15:25.750 my feet were blistering. I'm like, oh, I got 01:15:25.750 --> 01:15:27.770 to see everything. That's like the Eurotrail, 01:15:27.989 --> 01:15:29.569 or whatever they call it. Eurail. Yeah, Eurail. 01:15:29.569 --> 01:15:32.689 There you go. So you can hit Paris in Spain, 01:15:33.930 --> 01:15:38.069 and you can hit Rome in Berlin, and I'll... points 01:15:38.069 --> 01:15:40.050 in between. Major cities, right? Yep, you can 01:15:40.050 --> 01:15:43.810 definitely do that. Number three also, Sydney. 01:15:44.189 --> 01:15:48.130 Beautiful, beautiful. I would probably stay inside 01:15:48.130 --> 01:15:50.710 the city. I think there are too many things outside 01:15:50.710 --> 01:15:53.850 of it that would kill me. Big spiders, kangaroos. 01:15:54.409 --> 01:15:57.630 All of it. Most of the Australian wildlife seems 01:15:57.630 --> 01:16:01.569 very deadly. It does. Like, here in the United 01:16:01.569 --> 01:16:05.729 States, birds bird. Could a hawk mess with you? 01:16:05.949 --> 01:16:07.850 Sure, if it wanted to. Sure, sure. But they're 01:16:07.850 --> 01:16:09.670 more interested in field mice and they keep to 01:16:09.670 --> 01:16:12.050 themselves. Yeah. Eagle, you don't see them so 01:16:12.050 --> 01:16:14.270 frequently. Nah. It's not a big deal. They're 01:16:14.270 --> 01:16:17.369 not really predatory birds. I feel there are 01:16:17.369 --> 01:16:20.029 probably a half dozen or more birds that would 01:16:20.029 --> 01:16:22.050 fuck you up in Australia. There's a reason there 01:16:22.050 --> 01:16:25.949 are the Great Emu Wars in Australia. And the 01:16:25.949 --> 01:16:28.710 Australians fucking lost. And they lost. To the 01:16:28.710 --> 01:16:31.359 birds. To the birds, yep. That just happens, 01:16:31.640 --> 01:16:35.739 dude. That just happens in Oz. It's amusing because 01:16:35.739 --> 01:16:39.119 I don't have to live it, but at the same sense, 01:16:39.520 --> 01:16:42.619 like a week in Sydney, I think would be, or Perth 01:16:42.619 --> 01:16:44.800 or Adelaide, you just kind of get all that taken 01:16:44.800 --> 01:16:47.069 care of. Yeah, Brisbane, maybe. Yep, I think 01:16:47.069 --> 01:16:49.670 being able to hit some of that take in the culture 01:16:49.670 --> 01:16:54.970 Shrimps on the Bobby go to Bendigo. Yeah, buddy. 01:16:55.050 --> 01:16:57.970 Yeah, so That would definitely be on the to -do 01:16:57.970 --> 01:17:00.310 list and number two Tokyo beautiful and I mean 01:17:00.310 --> 01:17:03.189 you throw Kyoto in there if you want to but Tokyo 01:17:03.189 --> 01:17:06.600 is definitely say it's it's kind of like what 01:17:06.600 --> 01:17:09.739 you wish American cities would aspire to be. 01:17:09.739 --> 01:17:11.600 It's one of the largest cities in the world. 01:17:11.859 --> 01:17:18.539 Clean and just technological and fun and because 01:17:18.539 --> 01:17:21.819 there's so much American influence between those 01:17:21.819 --> 01:17:24.539 two countries. There's English in almost every 01:17:24.539 --> 01:17:27.399 establishment. And most people there can speak 01:17:27.399 --> 01:17:30.500 some form of it. So as an American, you wouldn't 01:17:30.500 --> 01:17:32.439 go there and be like, oh, fuck. I mean, you probably 01:17:32.439 --> 01:17:33.779 own a business, and they would be able to speak 01:17:33.779 --> 01:17:36.500 a little bit of it. So that part. And from what 01:17:36.500 --> 01:17:39.100 I hear, most menus are in English and Japanese. 01:17:40.100 --> 01:17:42.680 So it just is. So it doesn't seem like it'd be 01:17:42.680 --> 01:17:45.399 too intimidating. But like I said, being able 01:17:45.399 --> 01:17:48.500 to go to like... You know, like the Nintendo 01:17:48.500 --> 01:17:53.520 headquarters and just do all that kind of stuff 01:17:53.520 --> 01:17:56.359 would, I think, would go to one of those Japanese 01:17:56.359 --> 01:18:01.140 game shows live. Right. Yeah. I just think like 01:18:01.140 --> 01:18:03.319 a week in Japan would be awesome. It'd be fascinating. 01:18:03.319 --> 01:18:06.380 Yeah. Our number ones. And I haven't heard this. 01:18:07.520 --> 01:18:09.699 Honestly, I think we picked the same one. Did 01:18:09.699 --> 01:18:11.800 we really? I'm not going to lie, because I haven't 01:18:11.800 --> 01:18:13.500 heard it from you. Yeah, I haven't heard it from 01:18:13.500 --> 01:18:17.310 you yet. So I'm. Okay, so we could have fun and 01:18:17.310 --> 01:18:20.909 try this on three on three three Okay, so on 01:18:20.909 --> 01:18:23.810 three or after three when you say three, I'm 01:18:23.810 --> 01:18:29.029 going to say my city. Okay, one two three Dublin. 01:18:29.470 --> 01:18:36.189 Yeah Dublin Ireland, holy shit. Yeah, let me 01:18:36.189 --> 01:18:41.840 move to you. Yes. I I have a friend She was a 01:18:41.840 --> 01:18:45.140 professor at Stanford, and her and her husband 01:18:45.140 --> 01:18:48.319 are each getting their citizenship. Her in Poland, 01:18:48.460 --> 01:18:52.159 him in Ireland. And the great thing about getting 01:18:52.159 --> 01:18:55.939 citizenship in an EU country, it's like the Midwest. 01:18:56.000 --> 01:18:57.800 You can go wherever you want. You can work wherever 01:18:57.800 --> 01:19:01.039 you want. And I'm like, wow, what freedom. Hey, 01:19:01.100 --> 01:19:02.819 freedom, that's what it looks like. How about 01:19:02.819 --> 01:19:05.819 that? It must be nice. It must be nice. So that 01:19:05.819 --> 01:19:10.189 is really appealing. Told her I said I just need 01:19:10.189 --> 01:19:13.109 to get a few personal things squared away But 01:19:13.109 --> 01:19:15.430 like I feel once I've got that under control 01:19:15.430 --> 01:19:18.750 and I get that taken care of why wouldn't I go 01:19:18.750 --> 01:19:21.569 exactly? Why wouldn't I go there's zero reason 01:19:21.569 --> 01:19:23.449 not unless shit really hits the fan here then 01:19:23.449 --> 01:19:25.369 I may need to speed that process up right deal 01:19:25.369 --> 01:19:27.350 with the rest of shit later yeah, or even make 01:19:27.350 --> 01:19:31.199 like Canada like a buffer country. Maybe. You 01:19:31.199 --> 01:19:34.460 know? Maybe. Yeah, that's for sure. No, I love 01:19:34.460 --> 01:19:37.100 Dublin. Well, I love the whole country, of course. 01:19:37.699 --> 01:19:41.880 But Dublin, once again, is a city that is modernized 01:19:41.880 --> 01:19:46.140 yet still holds its history. Yes. I really love 01:19:46.140 --> 01:19:48.840 that. There are pubs in Dublin older than the 01:19:48.840 --> 01:19:51.340 United States of America. Yes. That is correct. 01:19:51.640 --> 01:19:55.779 How fucking cool. Raisin Head, I think, is maybe 01:19:55.779 --> 01:19:59.319 the oldest. 1649 or something. Let's do some 01:19:59.319 --> 01:20:01.420 live research. So we'll see if I'm correct on 01:20:01.420 --> 01:20:05.640 that one. But yeah, so Ireland is definitely 01:20:05.640 --> 01:20:07.920 on the to -do list. I think Dublin's just a great 01:20:07.920 --> 01:20:12.960 town. And once again, you are... You have Scotland 01:20:12.960 --> 01:20:15.060 and England at your fingertips if you want to 01:20:15.060 --> 01:20:19.359 go there sure it's very easy to do And then once 01:20:19.359 --> 01:20:21.340 you get over to Europe, of course your rail and 01:20:21.340 --> 01:20:23.659 whatever else it's just all very easy to get 01:20:23.659 --> 01:20:26.699 to but having Ireland as a home base would be 01:20:26.699 --> 01:20:30.119 amazing and You know because they speak English 01:20:30.119 --> 01:20:33.279 It would be a very easy adjustment makes it pretty 01:20:33.279 --> 01:20:37.939 easy. It'd be kind of fun to see how our Accents 01:20:37.939 --> 01:20:41.819 would adjust because we're so wholeheartedly 01:20:41.819 --> 01:20:45.600 Midwestern us and you know, like I there are 01:20:45.600 --> 01:20:49.640 times because I edit my own YouTube videos I 01:20:49.640 --> 01:20:53.180 edit these mark mo show podcasts. I will literally 01:20:53.180 --> 01:20:57.779 catch myself sounding like I am from Canada or 01:20:58.860 --> 01:21:01.880 Minnesota or something like why do I say thousand 01:21:01.880 --> 01:21:04.539 like that like I'll catch myself you betcha thousand 01:21:04.539 --> 01:21:08.000 you bet like why do I sound like this and then 01:21:08.000 --> 01:21:10.359 I'm like oh my god what if I spent a decade in 01:21:10.359 --> 01:21:13.260 Ireland oh yeah like oh my god well people know 01:21:13.260 --> 01:21:15.680 what it was like when I had a consulting gig 01:21:15.680 --> 01:21:18.680 for this health organization I was down in Florida 01:21:18.680 --> 01:21:22.680 and and I think that's the first time I heard 01:21:22.680 --> 01:21:25.229 you say the word y 'all Yeah. And I did it just 01:21:25.229 --> 01:21:27.890 like it was so natural. Yeah. And people, I'd 01:21:27.890 --> 01:21:29.989 be like, oh man, it's so nice to see y 'all. 01:21:30.050 --> 01:21:31.909 Glad you're down here. And I'm like, what the? 01:21:32.270 --> 01:21:37.170 Oh my God. Like you catch yourself. Oh no. If 01:21:37.170 --> 01:21:38.829 I start wearing a cowboy hat and listening to 01:21:38.829 --> 01:21:41.869 Garth Brooks, please put a clock to my brain 01:21:41.869 --> 01:21:45.369 stem. Oh my God. Where's the nearest clock 19? 01:21:45.609 --> 01:21:50.170 Yep. Oh yeah. For that little research, brazen 01:21:50.170 --> 01:21:54.500 head. Ireland's oldest pub. In fact, the holstery 01:21:54.500 --> 01:21:58.539 has been there since 1198. Oh my god, no way. 01:21:59.039 --> 01:22:03.279 1198 and the present building was built in 1754. 01:22:03.739 --> 01:22:06.979 Holy shit. That's awesome. Beautiful. I would 01:22:06.979 --> 01:22:09.579 love to see it. I would too. I want to have a 01:22:09.579 --> 01:22:12.039 beer in there. I'd love to live above it. Let 01:22:12.039 --> 01:22:15.840 me walk downstairs and grab a pint. Absolutely. 01:22:16.840 --> 01:22:19.699 I will gladly remove that ghost, man. There's 01:22:19.699 --> 01:22:23.140 no question. Check my ass in. Oh god, that sounds 01:22:23.140 --> 01:22:29.359 great. Well, per usual, if you have any cities 01:22:29.359 --> 01:22:34.000 that we missed, feel free to throw them at us 01:22:34.000 --> 01:22:38.140 in the comments. I'm already thinking of like 01:22:38.140 --> 01:22:40.560 Canadian cities we missed, you know, Vancouver. 01:22:40.720 --> 01:22:43.239 Things like that. Yeah, you know, I think in 01:22:43.239 --> 01:22:46.260 Canada. I was thinking Canada. I was thinking 01:22:46.260 --> 01:22:50.260 Toronto, but I really dislike the Maple Leafs. 01:22:50.380 --> 01:22:55.800 And so like as Chicago ask as Toronto is, I almost 01:22:55.800 --> 01:22:58.380 felt bad leaving them off, but their sports teams 01:22:58.380 --> 01:23:00.560 leave a lot to be desired. So I'm kind of like 01:23:00.560 --> 01:23:03.760 meh. Yeah, it's very mid. And then you got Montreal 01:23:03.760 --> 01:23:06.880 and Montreal is like North America's France. 01:23:07.060 --> 01:23:10.069 Yeah. And we don't fuck with that. No, not so 01:23:10.069 --> 01:23:13.069 much. Because it's not Paris. Right. You know? 01:23:13.630 --> 01:23:15.170 So maybe Vancouver. Yeah, I was thinking Vancouver. 01:23:15.170 --> 01:23:16.930 Because we like the Pacific Northwest, so it 01:23:16.930 --> 01:23:18.130 probably has some of that. That's exactly right. 01:23:18.409 --> 01:23:21.529 Yeah, it's the P .W. of Canada. Yeah. Oh, for 01:23:21.529 --> 01:23:25.399 sure. Yeah, no doubt. But anyway, we're going 01:23:25.399 --> 01:23:28.579 to get on to review preview. I review a movie 01:23:28.579 --> 01:23:30.680 and preview a movie. I saw Mission Impossible 01:23:30.680 --> 01:23:34.199 Final Reckoning. Ethan Hunt and the IMF team 01:23:34.199 --> 01:23:37.000 race against time to find the entity, a rogue 01:23:37.000 --> 01:23:39.680 artificial intelligence that can destroy mankind. 01:23:39.739 --> 01:23:41.899 That sounds familiar. Yeah, right. The story 01:23:41.899 --> 01:23:43.920 ties together several storylines and characters 01:23:43.920 --> 01:23:46.720 from the past to finish the Ethan Hunt saga. 01:23:47.039 --> 01:23:50.600 Film stars Tom Cruise, Haley Atwell, Pom Klementief, 01:23:50.880 --> 01:23:53.710 Simon Pegg. Ving Rhames and S .I. Morales. It's 01:23:53.710 --> 01:23:56.550 a wild ride, crazy stunts, and of course Tom 01:23:56.550 --> 01:23:59.050 Cruise running fast. Which for being a 60 -year 01:23:59.050 --> 01:24:01.109 -old is kind of nuts. It's impressive. Kind of 01:24:01.109 --> 01:24:03.229 nuts. It's impressive. He does all his own stunts 01:24:03.229 --> 01:24:05.649 and he runs like a marathon guy. It's crazy. 01:24:06.550 --> 01:24:08.710 At any rate, they're always enjoyable films. 01:24:09.130 --> 01:24:11.529 This was an enjoyable film, so if you've seen 01:24:11.529 --> 01:24:13.310 the others you're gonna really like this one. 01:24:13.829 --> 01:24:16.729 Seven eight out of ten. Solid. It's a very, very 01:24:16.729 --> 01:24:18.569 solid score. Yeah. You will definitely enjoy 01:24:18.569 --> 01:24:22.869 it. My preview is one called 28 Years Later. 01:24:23.989 --> 01:24:27.289 It was a horror film franchise. That's right. 01:24:27.350 --> 01:24:30.590 I heard about this, yeah. Started with 28 Hours 01:24:30.590 --> 01:24:34.090 Later. Yeah. Went to 28 Weeks Later. Yep. And 01:24:34.090 --> 01:24:37.310 now we're at 28 Years Later. And so a group of 01:24:37.310 --> 01:24:40.069 survivors of the rage virus live on a small island. 01:24:40.609 --> 01:24:42.869 When one of the group leaves the island on a 01:24:42.869 --> 01:24:45.909 mission... into the mainland, he discovers secrets, 01:24:46.250 --> 01:24:50.189 wonders, and horrors that have mutated not only 01:24:50.189 --> 01:24:53.289 the infected, but other survivors. The film stars 01:24:53.289 --> 01:24:56.529 Jack O 'Connell, Ray Fiennes, Aaron Taylor -Johnson, 01:24:56.789 --> 01:25:00.590 and Jodie Comar, and it hits theaters June 20th. 01:25:00.770 --> 01:25:02.630 That's exciting. I've seen those trailers. It 01:25:02.630 --> 01:25:06.229 looks fun. It does. It really looks fun. I'm 01:25:06.229 --> 01:25:09.050 going to go check that out for sure. Always down 01:25:09.050 --> 01:25:13.159 for a horror movie. Oh, I agree. I agree. What 01:25:13.159 --> 01:25:16.720 blows my mind is something that crossed my brain 01:25:16.720 --> 01:25:19.399 a couple minutes ago when we were talking about 01:25:19.399 --> 01:25:24.560 Tom Cruise, is how much Tom Cruise and Keanu 01:25:24.560 --> 01:25:28.699 Reeves have in common in far as them just solidifying 01:25:28.699 --> 01:25:32.779 themselves as the guy. 100%. But the main difference 01:25:32.779 --> 01:25:35.539 being Tom Cruise went into Scientology and Keanu 01:25:35.539 --> 01:25:39.479 Reeves didn't. That's it. Keanu Reeves is such 01:25:39.479 --> 01:25:43.760 a likable, human, human being. And then Tom Cruise 01:25:43.760 --> 01:25:46.020 is just like, I don't know if I like him. I don't 01:25:46.020 --> 01:25:48.039 know if I dislike him. Like, what do I do with 01:25:48.039 --> 01:25:50.739 these feelings? I know I like his characters. 01:25:50.760 --> 01:25:53.720 Sure, sure. That's fair. The type of person he 01:25:53.720 --> 01:25:55.939 is outside or away from films, I don't know. 01:25:55.979 --> 01:25:58.659 I've heard he's drifted from Scientology. Who 01:25:58.659 --> 01:26:01.329 knows? Tough to say. But we do know the type 01:26:01.329 --> 01:26:04.510 of dude that Keanu Reeves is. He rides his motorcycle 01:26:04.510 --> 01:26:06.949 around, he takes to subway places, he's just 01:26:06.949 --> 01:26:10.369 kind of like, he has a band. He is that guy, 01:26:10.449 --> 01:26:14.239 pal. He was in cyberpunk. How cool. That's pretty 01:26:14.239 --> 01:26:18.739 damn cool. And movie coming out soon. Ballerina, 01:26:18.880 --> 01:26:21.920 which is part of the John Wick franchise. It's 01:26:21.920 --> 01:26:25.100 going to be technically takes place between three 01:26:25.100 --> 01:26:28.319 and four. So that's the timeline. Exciting. So 01:26:28.319 --> 01:26:31.439 that'll be good stuff for sure. But now we get 01:26:31.439 --> 01:26:33.340 into something called While You Were Sleeping. 01:26:33.520 --> 01:26:38.720 So it is either a game or a Could be a youtuber. 01:26:38.859 --> 01:26:41.859 It could be a TV show could be a movie something 01:26:41.859 --> 01:26:44.500 that is kind of that sleeper hit something went 01:26:44.500 --> 01:26:47.180 under the radar and we just all missed it and 01:26:47.180 --> 01:26:50.079 Aidan does a great job every week ago and ha 01:26:50.079 --> 01:26:53.779 found it got e and and lets us know so what did 01:26:53.779 --> 01:26:56.680 we miss? So in recent weeks, I've covered a lot 01:26:56.680 --> 01:26:59.380 of indie games. I've covered a couple movies. 01:26:59.380 --> 01:27:02.859 I think this is an indie game But unlike the 01:27:02.859 --> 01:27:06.720 ones I've covered in the recent months, this 01:27:06.720 --> 01:27:09.399 is free. Oh, okay. There's a reason it's free. 01:27:09.520 --> 01:27:12.159 It's because it's, you know, it's a sponsored 01:27:12.159 --> 01:27:15.359 video game. Not by us, but by product placement. 01:27:15.960 --> 01:27:21.119 It's a dating simulator. Oh, okay. Called I Love 01:27:21.119 --> 01:27:26.260 You, Colonel Sanders. What? Yeah, we played it 01:27:26.260 --> 01:27:31.310 on AK -209. Oh, right. I love you Colonel Sanders 01:27:31.310 --> 01:27:36.970 the KFC dating simulator It's a dating sim developed 01:27:36.970 --> 01:27:40.149 by the creators at Psyop Interesting how that 01:27:40.149 --> 01:27:44.170 works the video game was commissioned by the 01:27:44.170 --> 01:27:47.850 restaurant chain KFC released for free on Steam 01:27:47.850 --> 01:27:50.609 in 2019 That's right. This this game is completely 01:27:50.609 --> 01:27:54.710 free and honestly Even though you're technically 01:27:54.710 --> 01:27:58.409 being advertised KFC when you play it, as far 01:27:58.409 --> 01:28:01.810 as free games go, it's one of the best developed, 01:28:02.109 --> 01:28:06.069 cleanest, solid storyline, fun, entertaining 01:28:06.069 --> 01:28:09.170 games I've ever played. And trust me, I'm not 01:28:09.170 --> 01:28:14.470 sponsored by KFC. I wouldn't still be in Indiana 01:28:14.470 --> 01:28:18.569 if I was sponsored by KFC. Parody of conventional 01:28:18.569 --> 01:28:21.600 dating sims. The primary objective is... the 01:28:21.600 --> 01:28:24.340 player to develop a romantic relationship with 01:28:24.340 --> 01:28:27.859 a fictionalized version of KFC's founder Colonel 01:28:27.859 --> 01:28:31.699 Sanders portrayed as an attractive Classmate 01:28:31.699 --> 01:28:34.779 at this cooking college and I am of course getting 01:28:34.779 --> 01:28:39.720 these scripts from Wikipedia if you're interested 01:28:39.720 --> 01:28:43.199 the release of the game follows the reintroduction 01:28:43.199 --> 01:28:45.859 of Colonel Sanders into KFC's marketing campaigns 01:28:45.859 --> 01:28:49.399 in 2015 is part of the company's strategy to, 01:28:49.600 --> 01:28:53.680 quote, make Colonel a part of pop culture. Ooh. 01:28:54.060 --> 01:28:57.520 OK. Which I guess, kind of. I mean, he kind of 01:28:57.520 --> 01:28:59.779 was anyway, didn't the Miz? Yeah. Like, he played 01:28:59.779 --> 01:29:01.479 Colonel Sanders one time and the chicken kicked 01:29:01.479 --> 01:29:03.539 his ass? Yeah. Dude was always a part of pop 01:29:03.539 --> 01:29:05.979 culture. Oh, yeah. Even when, like, that little 01:29:05.979 --> 01:29:08.569 gap when it wasn't. when the Colonel wasn't a 01:29:08.569 --> 01:29:11.029 part of KFC, which was kind of weird anyway. 01:29:11.770 --> 01:29:13.949 The game successfully received public attention 01:29:13.949 --> 01:29:16.670 due to the quote, can you believe it premise 01:29:16.670 --> 01:29:19.350 both before and after the game's release, which 01:29:19.350 --> 01:29:23.109 I find fascinating because I was in that crowd. 01:29:23.609 --> 01:29:28.350 I was a part of that. Hey, I can't believe KFC 01:29:28.350 --> 01:29:31.329 made a dating simulator game, but at the same 01:29:31.329 --> 01:29:35.069 time, it's kind of a really good dating simulator 01:29:35.069 --> 01:29:39.479 game. Yeah, it's fairly linear, but at the same 01:29:39.479 --> 01:29:42.479 time you get multiple endings and on top of that 01:29:42.479 --> 01:29:44.520 It's free. You just have to deal with the fact 01:29:44.520 --> 01:29:49.460 that you get KFC Sponsored stuff in there.

We've got an American brewski in 01:33:20.859 --> 01:33:25.180 front of us from none other than Bad Dad Brewing 01:33:25.180 --> 01:33:29.420 Company. This is a Pilsner we're trying today. 01:33:30.300 --> 01:33:35.239 Bad Dad is out of Fairmont, Indiana. The Hoosier 01:33:35.239 --> 01:33:39.569 State. Which no one is really that proud of. 01:33:39.770 --> 01:33:42.090 Pair them out in the air. Regardless, the only 01:33:42.090 --> 01:33:47.909 good thing we have is a WNBA team. The dude abides. 01:33:47.909 --> 01:33:49.850 The dude abides. The dude abides is the name 01:33:49.850 --> 01:33:52.810 of the beard, is the pilsner that Bad Dad Brewing 01:33:52.810 --> 01:33:59.270 makes. 4 .3 % ABV. It is non -applicable on the 01:33:59.270 --> 01:34:02.229 International Bitters Unit, so they did not add 01:34:02.229 --> 01:34:06.670 one. We're gonna try it here for you today. Read 01:34:06.670 --> 01:34:10.430 it on a scale from zero to five, rather. Okay. 01:34:11.289 --> 01:34:14.369 And just let you know how it is. Did you say 01:34:14.369 --> 01:34:17.850 that was Fairmount? Fairmont, Indiana, yes. Mont 01:34:17.850 --> 01:34:22.189 or Mount? Fairmount. Got it, okay. Spelled Fairmount. 01:34:22.289 --> 01:34:25.130 I wanted to see where it's at. Yes. I believe 01:34:25.130 --> 01:34:28.229 it's pronounced Fairmont, but I think it's spelled 01:34:28.229 --> 01:34:33.789 Fairmount. It's on Route 9. south of Marion, 01:34:34.590 --> 01:34:38.869 and it looks like it's maybe 25, 30 minutes east 01:34:38.869 --> 01:34:42.550 of Kokomo. Oh, okay. Kokomo's kind of a big town. 01:34:42.930 --> 01:34:46.640 Looks like a tiny museum. or sorry, a tiny city. 01:34:46.920 --> 01:34:48.979 The reason I said museum is because it came up 01:34:48.979 --> 01:34:52.159 on the map program. The James Dean Museum is 01:34:52.159 --> 01:34:55.100 located in Fairmount, Indiana. James Dean, the 01:34:55.100 --> 01:34:57.640 man, the myth, the legend. The man, the myth, 01:34:57.859 --> 01:35:01.859 the legend, deceased. Yeah, not related at all 01:35:01.859 --> 01:35:07.199 to Bad Dad Brewing. Nor Pilsners. But it is fascinating 01:35:07.199 --> 01:35:10.479 trivia. If anyone asks you, hey, Bad Dad Brewing 01:35:10.479 --> 01:35:13.659 is near a museum of which popular figure, you 01:35:13.659 --> 01:35:16.960 will now know.

What do Garfield 01:35:44.500 --> 01:35:47.140 and James Dean have in common? Nothing. They 01:35:47.140 --> 01:35:51.640 both start with the letter J... Airfield. Jarfield! 01:35:53.220 --> 01:35:55.579 By the way, I don't know... That's his cousin. 01:35:56.000 --> 01:35:58.600 Yeah, exactly. Jarfield.

I prefer stouts I prefer 01:37:21.279 --> 01:37:26.920 Belgians as far as pilsners go this is remarkably 01:37:27.799 --> 01:37:29.739 Smooth and enjoyable. And there's kind of a flavor 01:37:29.739 --> 01:37:31.659 there. There's a hint of something, and I'm not 01:37:31.659 --> 01:37:34.720 sure what I'm getting. It's nearly fruity, nearly 01:37:34.720 --> 01:37:38.819 floral, but it's not forward, right? It tastes 01:37:38.819 --> 01:37:41.500 and feels like a pilsner, and then afterwards 01:37:41.500 --> 01:37:43.380 you kind of get little hints. You get some notes. 01:37:43.760 --> 01:37:46.159 Little notes of something special at the end, 01:37:46.439 --> 01:37:49.840 you know? It's not quite rosewater, but there's 01:37:49.840 --> 01:37:53.359 something floral. For sure. You know? I love 01:37:53.359 --> 01:37:57.359 the can. It has this caricature. It's so silent. 01:37:57.619 --> 01:38:04.460 Yeah, and What a reference hey, it's pretty great 01:38:04.460 --> 01:38:09.579 the Lebowski Yeah, that's really good. I like 01:38:09.579 --> 01:38:12.859 that a lot. I mean like I said, I'm not a big 01:38:12.859 --> 01:38:17.100 Pilsner guy But on the scale of Pilsner's and 01:38:17.100 --> 01:38:20.680 of course, this is a this is a pricier Pilsner 01:38:20.680 --> 01:38:24.909 I think for a pint You buy a four pack at about 01:38:24.909 --> 01:38:27.810 eleven or twelve dollars. Yeah. Locally might 01:38:27.810 --> 01:38:30.930 be more expensive nationally because it's an 01:38:30.930 --> 01:38:34.949 Indiana beer and we're in Indiana. But you're 01:38:34.949 --> 01:38:37.210 talking what three dollars a pint give or take 01:38:37.210 --> 01:38:39.689 because you're buying a four pack. Is it worth 01:38:39.689 --> 01:38:42.149 the three dollars a pint. What depends how much 01:38:42.149 --> 01:38:45.409 you like Pilsner. Sure. Yeah. You know I enjoy 01:38:45.409 --> 01:38:49.810 this. I'm not a big Pilsner guy. So to be fair. 01:38:50.090 --> 01:38:53.510 To be fair to it, I'm gonna give it a 325 out 01:38:53.510 --> 01:38:58.649 of 5. Are you okay? Because I enjoy it. This, 01:38:59.069 --> 01:39:01.210 I know we've mentioned it a couple times because 01:39:01.210 --> 01:39:03.310 we've had lighter beers for a couple weeks in 01:39:03.310 --> 01:39:06.510 a row, but this would be the beer you come in 01:39:06.510 --> 01:39:09.729 after like weed whacking on a hot summer day, 01:39:10.069 --> 01:39:12.130 and you're like, ah, the dude abides, I'm cracking 01:39:12.130 --> 01:39:15.829 this. Dude, if you're talking a shower beer... 01:39:15.850 --> 01:39:18.890 After mowing the lawn. This is the shower bigger 01:39:18.890 --> 01:39:23.250 after mowing the lawn. Yeah, you know, it's 325 01:39:23.250 --> 01:39:26.329 out of 5 That's a that's a good score. That's 01:39:26.329 --> 01:39:29.649 a strong score. I I went somewhere. I normally 01:39:29.649 --> 01:39:34.010 don't go and I pull the four you pull the four 01:39:34.010 --> 01:39:36.090 I pull the four the first four on the show or 01:39:36.090 --> 01:39:39.170 the second There might have been one other might 01:39:39.170 --> 01:39:41.470 be the second. It might be one other one. I did 01:39:41.470 --> 01:39:43.789 a four I don't think I've graded anything higher 01:39:43.789 --> 01:39:48.960 than that But yeah, this is just, it's clean. 01:39:49.020 --> 01:39:51.880 Very smooth. We've been, prior to this, we've 01:39:51.880 --> 01:39:55.659 been drinking this red ale. And that's pretty 01:39:55.659 --> 01:39:58.779 clean and smooth too. So naturally, sometimes 01:39:58.779 --> 01:40:00.760 when you go from one type of beer to the other, 01:40:01.779 --> 01:40:03.359 it can have different effects on your palate. 01:40:03.359 --> 01:40:06.039 Sure. Unless you have like a glass of water or 01:40:06.039 --> 01:40:09.460 something. Yeah, cleanser. cleanse it, but this 01:40:09.460 --> 01:40:12.159 is just, it was smooth. Completely smooth transition. 01:40:12.880 --> 01:40:14.880 And like I said, you get some like notes there, 01:40:14.899 --> 01:40:17.380 but they're not overpowering. And it's just clean 01:40:17.380 --> 01:40:21.039 and it's refreshing. And I know typically for 01:40:21.039 --> 01:40:24.399 those who do tastings professionally or as a 01:40:24.399 --> 01:40:27.979 hobby, you typically go from light to dark. So 01:40:27.979 --> 01:40:30.140 you would taste the lighter beers, get those 01:40:30.140 --> 01:40:32.500 notes, and then you go darker down the line. 01:40:33.129 --> 01:40:37.069 to not spoil your palate in between. And we kind 01:40:37.069 --> 01:40:39.350 of spoiled that because we've been drinking this 01:40:39.350 --> 01:40:42.069 nice Irish Radell throughout the show. And then 01:40:42.069 --> 01:40:44.729 going to this Pilsner is kind of a culture shock. 01:40:45.189 --> 01:40:48.489 But that didn't spoil it at all for me. Not a 01:40:48.489 --> 01:40:53.439 bit. Not a bit. So very tasty. No doubt. No doubt. 01:40:53.600 --> 01:40:57.260 That was good. So dude abides Make sure that 01:40:57.260 --> 01:40:59.579 you get it if they have it at your liquor store 01:40:59.579 --> 01:41:02.560 grocery store for sure not sponsored But recommended 01:41:02.560 --> 01:41:05.159 but recommended bad dad brewing check it out 01:41:05.159 --> 01:41:09.119 on ya on ya, Indiana We are on to the final segment 01:41:09.119 --> 01:41:12.920 and this is the world weird news on the mark 01:41:12.920 --> 01:41:15.840 mo show and we've been doing tearless last few 01:41:15.840 --> 01:41:19.899 weeks and we're back to the world of weird news 01:41:19.899 --> 01:41:24.960 and mine this week is titled, Squatters Install 01:41:24.960 --> 01:41:28.220 Alarm System to Protect House They Are Illegally 01:41:28.220 --> 01:41:32.180 Occupied. You know what? That's what we call 01:41:32.180 --> 01:41:36.060 human ingenuity. Yes, it is. I am here for this. 01:41:36.199 --> 01:41:40.060 Protect what you got, hey? Got to. A group of 01:41:40.060 --> 01:41:42.420 squatters who illegally took over a house on 01:41:42.420 --> 01:41:45.260 the outskirts of a village in Spain's Burgos 01:41:45.260 --> 01:41:47.939 province has installed an alarm system to prevent 01:41:47.939 --> 01:41:50.260 others from breaking into their illegally occupied 01:41:50.260 --> 01:41:55.359 home. the people of san miguel pedro so a neighborhood 01:41:55.359 --> 01:41:59.279 in the village of bell dorado are on high alert 01:41:59.279 --> 01:42:02.159 on because of squatters who not only took over 01:42:02.159 --> 01:42:04.800 an unoccupied house in their community but also 01:42:04.800 --> 01:42:07.380 install an alarm system there to prevent others 01:42:07.380 --> 01:42:10.210 from breaking in like they did. According to 01:42:10.210 --> 01:42:12.630 some local residents, they have placed a sign 01:42:12.630 --> 01:42:15.710 belonging to the company that installed the alarm 01:42:15.710 --> 01:42:18.550 in the building to prevent what happened to the 01:42:18.550 --> 01:42:22.210 owner of that house from happening to them. That's 01:42:22.210 --> 01:42:26.390 funny. Some locals suspect that the squatters 01:42:26.390 --> 01:42:29.550 had been eyeing the property for some time. And 01:42:29.550 --> 01:42:32.750 after learning that no one had lived there for 01:42:32.750 --> 01:42:36.029 about two decades, they decided to two decades. 01:42:36.029 --> 01:42:39.399 Wow. They decided to move in. Now people are 01:42:39.399 --> 01:42:42.300 afraid that their houses could be at risk of 01:42:42.300 --> 01:42:45.279 being illegally occupied by strangers. It's at 01:42:45.279 --> 01:42:49.000 least curious that they entered a home that isn't 01:42:49.000 --> 01:42:51.140 theirs without permission, squatted in it, and 01:42:51.140 --> 01:42:53.880 are now protecting it from potential theft or 01:42:53.880 --> 01:42:58.500 squatting. One local man told Burgos Concheta. 01:43:00.960 --> 01:43:05.119 I'm occupying here. I'm occupying here. Apparently 01:43:05.119 --> 01:43:08.439 the Italians are invading Spain. Good on them. 01:43:08.539 --> 01:43:11.939 Good on them. A psychosis affair has gripped 01:43:11.939 --> 01:43:15.319 San Miguel de Pedroso after squatters moved into 01:43:15.319 --> 01:43:17.420 a home in the outskirts of the village. Started 01:43:17.420 --> 01:43:20.720 acting like they owned the place. On April 27th, 01:43:20.720 --> 01:43:24.000 they literally threw all the old furniture out 01:43:24.000 --> 01:43:27.579 the window, brought in their own stuff, and even 01:43:27.579 --> 01:43:29.960 installed an alarm system along with a warning 01:43:29.960 --> 01:43:32.880 sign warning others not to trespass. That's hilarious. 01:43:33.319 --> 01:43:37.380 Local media reports that the unnamed squatters 01:43:37.380 --> 01:43:39.600 even tried registering with local authorities, 01:43:39.899 --> 01:43:42.699 but their efforts have failed so far. No kidding, 01:43:43.020 --> 01:43:45.300 hey? The owner of the property has reportedly 01:43:45.300 --> 01:43:48.020 filed three complaints with the Guardia Civil, 01:43:48.539 --> 01:43:51.159 but police have yet to evacuate the unwanted 01:43:51.159 --> 01:43:54.539 residents. In addition to the house, the squatters 01:43:54.539 --> 01:43:59.460 also occupied a neighboring field, where they 01:43:59.460 --> 01:44:03.760 put their dogs. Everything happens so fast and 01:44:03.760 --> 01:44:06.760 so effortlessly that locals are now watching 01:44:06.760 --> 01:44:10.039 all foreigners who come inside. So maybe the 01:44:10.039 --> 01:44:12.859 Italians. Right, right. They're watching all 01:44:12.859 --> 01:44:14.899 foreigners who come into the village on weekends 01:44:14.899 --> 01:44:18.279 suspiciously, wondering if they aren't squatters 01:44:18.279 --> 01:44:21.859 and if their homes won't be the next to be taken 01:44:21.859 --> 01:44:24.979 over. That's hilarious. Isn't that great? That's 01:44:24.979 --> 01:44:29.420 hilarious. I know. I know squatting is kind of 01:44:29.420 --> 01:44:33.579 a hot topic issue. but you know where I stand. 01:44:34.079 --> 01:44:38.579 I think I have no sympathy for someone that owns 01:44:38.579 --> 01:44:41.560 multiple homes. And he just sits there? Yeah, 01:44:41.720 --> 01:44:45.220 in a world where people lie unhoused and die 01:44:45.220 --> 01:44:47.399 in the streets. I have no sympathy for you. Nope. 01:44:47.720 --> 01:44:52.850 So I find that hilarious. It's great. Hilarious 01:44:52.850 --> 01:44:58.529 installed when they get like fucking ADT I want 01:44:58.529 --> 01:45:01.130 to protect my property. Oh, do you own the property? 01:45:01.250 --> 01:45:03.869 Don't ask questions. Don't have questions, man. 01:45:03.869 --> 01:45:07.569 Just install it Let me pay you to protect this 01:45:07.569 --> 01:45:12.609 house Yeah, my home my home. Did you get that 01:45:12.609 --> 01:45:16.149 my home? It'll be funny if they register with 01:45:16.149 --> 01:45:20.289 like the post office. Oh my god, right? That's 01:45:20.289 --> 01:45:23.609 funny. That is something. Shout out Spain, hey? 01:45:23.930 --> 01:45:27.390 Yeah, shout out to Spain, and that is just a 01:45:27.390 --> 01:45:30.189 wonderful story. And I know here in the United 01:45:30.189 --> 01:45:32.850 States, there are a lot of squatters. They will 01:45:32.850 --> 01:45:36.090 go into a home if it is vacant. Hell, if it's 01:45:36.090 --> 01:45:37.710 half torn down, they'll go in there and make 01:45:37.710 --> 01:45:40.789 the best of it. Can you blame them? No, you can't. 01:45:40.909 --> 01:45:43.250 You can't. Can you, really? It's rough. And it's 01:45:43.250 --> 01:45:45.850 going to get rougher once we start hitting 90 01:45:45.850 --> 01:45:47.529 degrees again in this country. Yeah, no kidding. 01:45:47.949 --> 01:45:50.829 It's tough. Or like the winter overnight lows 01:45:50.829 --> 01:45:52.960 of like negative. That's bad too. Oh my god. 01:45:53.100 --> 01:45:57.560 That's terrible too. But yeah, wrap up our segment. 01:45:57.659 --> 01:45:59.079 What do you got for this week? I have a little 01:45:59.079 --> 01:46:02.340 weird news myself. Okay. This one comes from 01:46:02.340 --> 01:46:06.520 npr .org. Our fellows there at NPR. Story out 01:46:06.520 --> 01:46:13.399 of Panama. Panama. Fuck yeah. Wrong song. Wrong 01:46:13.399 --> 01:46:18.279 song. Wrong jingle. Headline. researchers puzzled 01:46:18.279 --> 01:46:23.220 over rash of baby monkey kidnappings. Oh no, 01:46:23.560 --> 01:46:26.779 that sounds tragic. Here's the story from NPR. 01:46:27.739 --> 01:46:32.300 On an island in Panama, a fad that one researcher 01:46:32.300 --> 01:46:35.020 called viscerally disturbing has taken off among 01:46:35.020 --> 01:46:39.939 a group of young male monkeys. These adolescents 01:46:39.939 --> 01:46:43.640 and juveniles have started to kidnap the infants 01:46:43.640 --> 01:46:48.300 of other monkey species. Oh no. Seemingly just 01:46:48.300 --> 01:46:52.100 for kicks. What scientists think after watching 01:46:52.100 --> 01:46:54.319 a bunch of male white -faced capuchin monkeys 01:46:54.319 --> 01:46:58.180 walking around with... Baby howler monkeys clinging 01:46:58.180 --> 01:47:01.659 to their backs the perplexing baby snatchings 01:47:01.659 --> 01:47:05.640 recorded in the journal current biology Suggest 01:47:05.640 --> 01:47:07.720 that humans aren't the only intelligent species 01:47:07.720 --> 01:47:10.899 with youngsters that pursue Apparently pointless 01:47:10.899 --> 01:47:14.140 activities that can be destructive to other creatures 01:47:14.140 --> 01:47:18.859 What a phenomenal sentence by the way, yes, this 01:47:18.859 --> 01:47:22.500 is a quote they're just doing it for the sake 01:47:22.729 --> 01:47:26.729 doing it to reduce their boredom or have something 01:47:26.729 --> 01:47:29.430 to fill the time and space in their lives and 01:47:29.430 --> 01:47:32.289 I think seeing this occur in other species is 01:47:32.289 --> 01:47:35.369 somewhat terrifying because it kind of reflects 01:47:35.369 --> 01:47:37.930 a mirror on the actions that we do as people 01:47:37.930 --> 01:47:42.369 says Brendan Barrett an expert in animal culture 01:47:42.369 --> 01:47:45.050 at the Max Planck Institute of animal behavior 01:47:45.050 --> 01:47:48.680 in Germany Also a member of the research team 01:47:48.680 --> 01:47:52.720 who a special research associate at the Smithsonian 01:47:52.720 --> 01:47:56.880 Tropical Research Institute. He describes compuchin 01:47:56.880 --> 01:48:01.659 monkeys as chaos agents As they roam through 01:48:01.659 --> 01:48:04.479 the forest ripping up and manipulating everything 01:48:04.479 --> 01:48:08.159 in sight It sounds very human. Oh, yeah, it says 01:48:08.159 --> 01:48:10.119 they're similar to humans and chimps in many 01:48:10.119 --> 01:48:13.739 ways. Yeah, no shit. Hey Quote they're highly 01:48:13.739 --> 01:48:18.159 innovative and they They're explorative. They 01:48:18.159 --> 01:48:21.960 do interesting, strange things. The capuchins 01:48:21.960 --> 01:48:25.760 that have started kidnapping howler monkey babies 01:48:25.760 --> 01:48:30.279 live on Hidrakon Island, which is a part of Panama's 01:48:30.279 --> 01:48:33.479 Coiba National Park. Unlike mainland capuchins, 01:48:33.600 --> 01:48:35.699 these island monkeys have figured out how to 01:48:35.699 --> 01:48:39.119 use sadone tools to break open hard food like 01:48:39.119 --> 01:48:42.539 seeds, crabs, coconuts, which is why scientists 01:48:42.539 --> 01:48:47.239 have been studying them since 2017. A behavioral 01:48:47.239 --> 01:48:51.100 ecologist with the Mack Plank Institute. of animal 01:48:51.100 --> 01:48:55.239 behavior and Smithsonian research associate was 01:48:55.239 --> 01:48:57.659 reviewing camera footage went to her surprise. 01:48:58.119 --> 01:49:01.539 She saw a capuchin carrying a howler monkey baby. 01:49:01.939 --> 01:49:05.439 Oh, pretty atypical. Yeah. Quote, it was not 01:49:05.439 --> 01:49:07.640 something we've seen before. It's not something 01:49:07.640 --> 01:49:11.079 I've heard of happening. There was I think a 01:49:11.079 --> 01:49:12.739 split second where I wondered if it could just 01:49:12.739 --> 01:49:15.079 be a capuchin monkey that looked very weird, 01:49:15.079 --> 01:49:19.109 but then it was very quickly clear it was a different 01:49:19.109 --> 01:49:22.649 species curious she started looking through more 01:49:22.649 --> 01:49:24.930 footage it became apparent that this wasn't a 01:49:24.930 --> 01:49:29.329 one -off it happened repeatedly since january 01:49:29.329 --> 01:49:34.270 of 2022 when a particular immature male monkey 01:49:34.270 --> 01:49:38.010 that the researchers called joker seemed to be 01:49:38.010 --> 01:49:43.100 the innovator of this new activity Joker Joker 01:49:43.100 --> 01:49:46.560 the monkey is recognizable because of small scar 01:49:46.560 --> 01:49:48.939 on his face and over a few months the cameras 01:49:48.939 --> 01:49:52.600 caught him carrying around four different infants 01:49:52.600 --> 01:49:57.079 What of a different species? Holding on to each 01:49:57.079 --> 01:50:00.100 of them for up to nine days. I don't know about 01:50:00.100 --> 01:50:02.859 that This was a tragic development for the baby 01:50:02.859 --> 01:50:07.100 howlers as they had no nourishment and were noticeably 01:50:07.100 --> 01:50:11.569 deteriorated over time quote their likely probably 01:50:11.569 --> 01:50:14.869 dying from dehydration or lack of nutrition, 01:50:15.649 --> 01:50:17.810 says Barrett, who notes these babies need their 01:50:17.810 --> 01:50:22.890 mother's milk and that several were seen actually 01:50:22.890 --> 01:50:30.949 dead on camera footage. No. So, we've got international 01:50:30.949 --> 01:50:34.930 monkeys doing what humans in war seem to do all 01:50:34.930 --> 01:50:38.149 the time, which is alarming. That is alarming. 01:50:38.149 --> 01:50:41.460 A bit alarming, just kidnapping. kidnapping little 01:50:41.460 --> 01:50:44.840 kids for fun is a really strange thing to do. 01:50:45.319 --> 01:50:48.060 That is a strange thing. That's a crazy story. 01:50:48.199 --> 01:50:53.359 Yeah. And how crazy would it be to not have scientific 01:50:53.359 --> 01:50:56.840 researchers observing this, right? Like, this 01:50:56.840 --> 01:51:00.520 godforsaken country has cut so much scientific 01:51:00.520 --> 01:51:03.859 funding. Like, imagine if we didn't have this 01:51:03.859 --> 01:51:06.880 story and then all of a sudden an island in Panama 01:51:06.880 --> 01:51:11.319 had... had a bunch of, like, capuchin monkeys, 01:51:11.380 --> 01:51:15.000 like, hey, not only can we speak English, we're 01:51:15.000 --> 01:51:18.979 also ready to trade. We have trained howler monkeys 01:51:18.979 --> 01:51:21.939 to do manual labor. It's like, oh my fuck, dude. 01:51:23.439 --> 01:51:25.460 Hey, buddy, we should have been keeping an eye 01:51:25.460 --> 01:51:27.399 on a monkey. We should have been keeping an eye 01:51:27.399 --> 01:51:29.960 on these motherfuckers. Oh, yeah, for sure. You 01:51:29.960 --> 01:51:32.560 wonder at some point if they're just, like, driving 01:51:32.560 --> 01:51:35.500 around in a panel van with no windows and just 01:51:35.500 --> 01:51:40.319 going, hey, psst, you. Monkey. Want a banana? 01:51:41.840 --> 01:51:43.500 This is going around kidnapping monkeys. Hop 01:51:43.500 --> 01:51:46.460 in. Hop in. Of course, monkey's going to do what 01:51:46.460 --> 01:51:48.079 a monkey's doing. Banana fire. All right, come 01:51:48.079 --> 01:51:50.779 in. Come count me in. Hey, where are we going? 01:51:51.619 --> 01:51:54.239 It's a phone. Don't look familiar. Is that Matt 01:51:54.239 --> 01:52:01.859 Gaetz? That's bad. He's not into underage monkeys. 01:52:01.859 --> 01:52:04.539 Yeah, exactly. Two old and monkey years for someone 01:52:04.539 --> 01:52:07.319 like Matt Gaetz, actually. That's true. I would 01:52:07.319 --> 01:52:09.579 agree with that. So, fun story out of Panama. 01:52:10.279 --> 01:52:12.479 That is so great. Yes. That is great. That's 01:52:12.479 --> 01:52:16.180 hilarious.
