I'm going 0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:53.200 to die in an earthquake?

But Jason 0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:22.320 actually wanted to know the citizens always say when there's 0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:26.200 no huge election and they're unhappy, or economic times get hard, 0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:28.880 or I'm leaving. How many friends have we had to say, 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:31.200 I'm leaving the country, so help me out. I'm leaving 0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:33.600 the country. Yeah, and for a variety of reasons. 0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:35.880 Seriously, some people speculate because they don't like the way 0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:36.680 politics goes. 0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:38.440 They go, I can't abid it. I'm going to make 0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:38.960 a change. 0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:42.040 Some people go, I want to start life over. I 0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:45.440 want to a new I'm making the chases a better right. 0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:47.600 Or I wants vacation in France. 0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:48.040 I love it. 0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:49.280 I'm going to buy a house that I'm going to 0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:52.480 live in France. And my thought was, first of all, really, 0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:55.480 second of all, they make it. 0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:57.000 Sound like right. 0:03:57.120 --> 0:03:59.200 I have said to my family, hey, you know, if 0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:02.160 my career really thanks here, we'll go to Australia. 0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:02.840 They love me. 0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:06.200 What we want to know is that's not so easy. 0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:10.520 Potentially it's getting easier by the day. And then really, 0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:12.800 no really, But what percentage of people that say it 0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:14.560 actually do it. Well. 0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:16.479 I go back to nineteen sixty eight when my parents 0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:18.719 said to me, if Richard Nixon wins were moving to 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:20.680 Canada only won, we didn't go anywhere. 0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:23.280 And a lot of people are saying that. 0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:26.800 However, now these countries are realizing they can be economically 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:30.200 benefited by having Americans come over, so they're giving you 0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:31.800 what they call golden passports. 0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:35.080 And a golden passport is if you invest. You mentioned Portugal. 0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:37.440 So Portugal had a deal for many years up until 0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:41.640 last month that if you invested like five hundred thousand dollars, 0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:44.000 either in a savings account or you bought real estate. 0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:46.560 After three years you were invested, you became a citizen 0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:49.480 of Portugal, dual citizenship. 0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:51.880 Right next thing you know, you're living there. 0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:54.640 So the number of American expats is you have left 0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:58.599 the US and are living permanently in Portugal or London, 0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:02.200 or Paris or the south of France is growing rapidly. 0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:04.800 Do they all have a similar trope? They don't. 0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:07.640 But Peter so I saw a percentage that said, and 0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:11.240 it's hard to quantify exactly because we don't know how 0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:13.920 many people in the country at any given times. Last 0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:16.280 year said I'm out of here and didn't do it. 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:20.479 But the guests I've given was ninety seven percent. Don't 0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:23.839 you know it's hard ten percent? About ten percent actually 0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:26.000 go through with it. But what I heard also was 0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:27.400 when they want to go through with it and you 0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:33.160 see the amount of paperwork, language barrier, stuff, they cultural barriers, 0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:34.040 they start. 0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:37.400 Going, oh, it gets daunting. Well, what's even complicating it 0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:38.320 more is how many Americans? 0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:40.920 Do you think? You even have a passport as a 0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:45.159 percentage of the population, Right, You're ready? That's really interesting. Yeah, 0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:47.360 that means fifty nine percent even if they want to leave, 0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:48.440 they can't. Right. 0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:50.760 And then the crazy thing about the fifty nine percent 0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:52.720 is they actually think it's a great idea not to 0:05:52.800 --> 0:05:53.480 have a passport. 0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:55.880 I've got everything I have here on I need in Kansas. 0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:57.040 Really goodbye? Right. 0:05:57.200 --> 0:05:59.640 So the point is that percentage that you just gave 0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:04.120 me is see less. Wow wow, Yeah, but you get okay. 0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:07.880 Aside from the money, somebody having the five hundred thous 0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:09.240 to put in the bank account or to buy the 0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:12.120 real estate, what else? What else are some of the 0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:18.040 major restrictions in papers. My understanding was I'm trying to 0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:20.800 think of friends of mine that have done this. If 0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:24.240 I let's talk about Australia, because I have. I've been 0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:25.599 to Australia many times, Peter and. 0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:26.160 I, and they love you. 0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:30.000 They're a nice community there that I feel like I 0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:32.640 would be comfortable. I could make a living there. But 0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:36.559 if I just decide I want to go, what would 0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:37.480 my process be? 0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:38.080 What would I have? 0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:41.400 Got some interesting work rules and the work role they 0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:42.920 had there is you have to you have to basically 0:06:43.120 --> 0:06:45.839 justify that you're not taking a job away from an Australia. 0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:50.240 But that's why I'm going. No, but you can probably do. 0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:52.560 That because you get a special exemption because nobody can act. 0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:54.440 The way you act. Uh huh, I got I believe? 0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:56.480 Did I say that I'm sorry hit the bill. 0:06:58.240 --> 0:06:58.400 Rather? 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:02.240 Really no? Really no, But that's what they'll do. 0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:04.880 If you can prove that you are qualified to do something, 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:07.120 that you're not going to displace somebody else, and that 0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:09.280 you'll add to the economy, you can make that claim. 0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:11.440 You could do that easily. You're there. Uh huh wow? 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:13.000 And what else do you have to do to get there? 0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:15.240 Money wise? Or do a certain nothing? 0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:15.520 No? 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:17.920 What are the easiest. So, off the top of your head, 0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:20.120 the top by these youth countries to leave. 0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:22.120 Well, I'm I'm going to turn the tables on you, guys, 0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:23.680 because the best way to do it is to follow 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:26.000 the strength of the US dollar. Where is the US 0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:33.520 dollar strongest against foreign currencies? So South Africa unbelievable, Argentina unbelievable, Turkey, 0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:37.880 they continue to devalue their era. The affordability is unbelievable. Right, 0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:40.880 So in terms of cost of living and standard of living, 0:07:41.240 --> 0:07:43.640 So you pick the following places right, cost of living, 0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:47.960 standard living, health care, access to airports right, So you 0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:51.560 have options right and not to drive on the wrong 0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:54.800 side of the road. Other than that, you take your choice. 0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:56.120 And there are a lot of countries that do that. 0:07:56.320 --> 0:08:00.400 So I read that the top countries are UK, Mexico. 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:03.400 More Americans are second homes in Mexico than anywhere else 0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:03.720 in the world. 0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:06.640 No, that that shocks me. 0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:12.600 Yeah, that really shocks me. Why well, and I believe me. 0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:12.840 I know. 0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:15.640 I'm I'm acting from ignorance, and I've been to Mexico 0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:16.480 and I had a wonderful time. 0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:19.040 Marking is that the name of the new show Acting 0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:22.000 from Ignorant? Acting from it's the name of my book. 0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:23.080 By the way, that is not. 0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:29.360 I my What we hear all the time coming out 0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:33.439 of Mexico is gangs and drugs and lawlessness and so 0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:35.640 and I know people that are afraid to go to 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:37.679 the high end resorts. 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:40.719 Because listen to this. Don't get me started on State 0:08:40.800 --> 0:08:44.760 Department advisories. They're misleading, they're wrong, and they paint with 0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:47.920 too broad a brush. Right, all those years that Northern 0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:49.840 Ireland was getting blown up, there's not a single State 0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:53.320 Department advisory there. But you couldn't go to Israel, right, 0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:58.360 So then something happened that was called pan am one 0:08:58.400 --> 0:09:01.199 O three December twenty first night, teen eighty eight, and 0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:04.520 the US Embassy in Helsinki received credible information four days 0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:07.240 before that they were going to blow up a US 0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:10.000 flag carrier in the next four days. What did the 0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:13.040 US embassy do? Who did they tell? They only told 0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:17.319 other US embassy personnel. Don't they work for US? So 0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:19.360 those two hundred and fifty nine people on the plane 0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:22.000 never had a chance. They went down. And when that 0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:25.640 news came out that the embassy didn't actually share that information, 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:28.400 the needle went all the way over. And then if 0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:31.040 an American tore a fingernail in Peru. They issued a 0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:34.200 State Department advisory, right, right, you know what the State 0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:38.920 Department advisories for Turkey. Americans are warned that Turkish drivers 0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:40.040 passed on the left and the right. 0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:42.240 Have they been on the four or five? Is that right? 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:43.000 I mean right? 0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:47.160 So you have to interpret these differently. Right, So for 0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:49.280 your friends, don't want to go to Mexico. There are 0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:51.600 thirty two states in Mexico. How many of them are 0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:55.280 vacationing in Nuevo Laredo or Ciudad Juarez. The only people 0:09:55.440 --> 0:09:57.960 vacation there are vacationing American drug dealers. 0:09:58.160 --> 0:09:58.480 Don't go. 0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:00.839 You want to go to can Koon or Tuloom, or 0:10:00.880 --> 0:10:02.360 you want to go to Puta by Art or Kapas 0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:05.520 on Lucas, No problem there you go, look. 0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:07.200 At you can I get into some amazing things. 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:09.200 This is the one thing before you get into amazing 0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:12.360 I don't want to play. Because you asked about countries, 0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:14.480 which are the ones to explore, which are the ones 0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:17.040 to avoid? But what about people who are just trying 0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:18.720 to relocate within the United States? 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:19.400 Is it? 0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:22.760 Is it a assuming you have the finances to do 0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:26.480 it is it a fairly easy process for people to 0:10:26.600 --> 0:10:28.160 move from state to state, and said it's. 0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:30.640 Easier by the day, and sometimes the catalytic reasons are 0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:33.199 not happy, like the fires here in California. Right, but 0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:36.240 right now the number three and four states one, two, 0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:40.400 three and four where people are moving to will surprise you, right, Tennessee, 0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:44.120 North Carolina, South Carolina, and Nevada. 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:46.640 The only one. Actually, none of those surprised me. 0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:49.839 Yeah, because I know anecdotally, I know three or four 0:10:49.840 --> 0:10:52.480 people that have made the move to Nashville, two or 0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:54.720 three that has gone to North Carolina, and a ton 0:10:55.080 --> 0:10:57.480 that at least have a second home in Nevada exactly. 0:10:57.920 --> 0:11:00.959 Now, some of that's for tax reasons. So Peter did 0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:03.280 a thing from me years ago. I never forget this. 0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:05.360 It was at first you gave me two tips on 0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:07.240 travel that I'll never forget. One was when you go 0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:08.840 to the airport to the op it's like the opposite 0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:11.160 episode of Seinfeld that you were in. I'm not familiar. 0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:14.600 It's if you're dropping somebody off, drop them off at 0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:18.679 arrival if you're doing and then I pay attention to 0:11:18.760 --> 0:11:19.600 no airport signs. 0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:20.199 So that's that. 0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:22.640 But then the best one go up to the gate 0:11:22.760 --> 0:11:26.240 desk and ask the plane's coming in to pick me up, 0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:29.480 what's the tail number on that plane and where is 0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:32.200 it right now? So if you know that that plane's 0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:35.280 supposed to be here in about twenty minutes and it's 0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:39.200 in Guam, that Peter said, go to the next desk, 0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:42.439 pick up a phone and book another flight. It's never 0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:44.640 getting here and they're not going to change that on 0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:46.680 the board until the last minute. 0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:49.040 And you're not letting Those departure boards have not told 0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:52.200 the truth since the Titanic, right, and they. 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:54.960 Were lying then to it right more the arrival board 0:11:55.000 --> 0:11:57.800 on that one. But that is not amazing. Let me 0:11:57.880 --> 0:11:58.079 tell you. 0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:00.559 So Peter is sick to death of hearing about my 0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:01.840 cousin Steven, who for. 0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:04.280 Many years I have not heard this. So go ahead. 0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:09.000 When we were we were in Hawaiian, my family and 0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:12.080 I as these fires hit. Yeah, and now flights are 0:12:12.080 --> 0:12:15.520 getting so we get a thing. Your flight is delayed 0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:19.000 two hours, and okay, but please come to the airport 0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:21.360 on time. An hour before we're going to leave the airport. 0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:24.120 They go, your flight is delayed four hours, but definitely come. 0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:27.199 So I now call my cousin the pilot, and I go, 0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:29.520 what's the story. He goes, what flight do you want 0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:32.360 to go? Blah blah blah, and he goes, yeah, your 0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:34.840 flight has not left the tarmac in New York. 0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:37.600 It is nowhere near there. 0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:40.760 And by the way, when you get when and if 0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:44.120 it gets to Maui today, they'll be timed out. That's right, 0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:45.320 crew will not work. 0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:48.200 And he goes, you're not leaving today, right, book flight 0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:51.240 I carry with me and old they still publish this 0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:54.559 something called the OAG stands for Official Airline Guide. 0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:55.840 It's this big. 0:12:55.960 --> 0:12:58.319 It's like the old Sears and Roebuck catalog, right, but 0:12:58.400 --> 0:13:00.040 they have pocket editions. But you couldn't put it in 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:04.200 your pocket anyway. It lists every published flight in the world. 0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:06.160 I keep it in my carry on bag. I don't 0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:08.160 go on the internet. I don't make the phone call. 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:10.319 Something's the problem. I just opened the book and I 0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:13.520 know exactly where I'm going. Yeah, because there are secret 0:13:13.559 --> 0:13:16.040 flights everywhere. You don't know that there are plans. There 0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:18.360 are flights out there. Okay, go ahead, No, they are 0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:21.160 flights out now. I'll give you an example. I was 0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:25.199 going between South Paulo and Buenos Aires, pick An airline. 0:13:25.240 --> 0:13:25.840 You think I might have. 0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:31.920 Flown I bery it good idea, Wrong, I'm not okay Turkish? 0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:34.679 Now what the hell is Turkish Airlines doing? Flying between 0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:38.440 South Paulo and Buenos Aires. The secret flight plane starts 0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:41.920 in Istanbul, goes to South Polo, shuttles down to Buenos Aires, 0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:43.080 goes back to Istanbul. 0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:45.960 They have to move the plane. So those are positioning flights. 0:13:46.000 --> 0:13:49.160 But they're called secret flights as they're allowed to take passengers. Okay, 0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:51.679 but so how do you find out about positioning flight 0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:54.679 where they are? There's this time called Peter Greenberg. But 0:13:55.280 --> 0:13:58.559 the thing is, my airfare in business class on a 0:13:58.600 --> 0:14:01.960 brand new Triple seven was our bucks. So because they 0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:04.160 need you could have gone bowling on the plane, right, 0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:08.280 you want to go from New York to Frankfurt. If 0:14:08.320 --> 0:14:13.199 they Liftanza or United Singapore, they fly New York to 0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:15.160 Frankfurt and then continue on to Singapore. 0:14:15.400 --> 0:14:18.439 The best flight ever. Nobody knows. I got to call you. 0:14:18.440 --> 0:14:22.200 You always did before. Yeah, but how does somebody listening 0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:25.120 who doesn't have your number? Our website with the most 0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:28.200 imaginative you have all of those those musicianing plights. Yeah, 0:14:28.880 --> 0:14:30.720 and the name, of course is Peter Greenberg dot com. 0:14:30.760 --> 0:14:31.640 We have a committee on that. 0:14:32.040 --> 0:14:34.480 But the thing is, that's the kind of information they 0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:37.600 don't tell you because they want to sell other seats 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:38.920 that are going to give them a higher yield. 0:14:39.800 --> 0:14:42.560 This is why we want to do really, really travel 0:14:43.480 --> 0:14:46.440 and we're having a meeting with them right right right, Okay, 0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:49.800 this is exactly him away here the lightning round. 0:14:50.480 --> 0:14:52.200 Some of these may take a little longer answers, but 0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:54.120 this is everybody listening is going to want to know 0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:57.120 every day. How do you keep your luggage from getting lost? Okay, 0:14:57.400 --> 0:15:00.600 there are two kinds of airline bags, carry on and lost. 0:15:01.000 --> 0:15:01.640 We understand that. 0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:04.160 So if you're going to be stupid enough to carry 0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:07.280 to check in a bag, you do two things. Number One, 0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:09.880 you open up the bag and you take a piece 0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:12.480 of big masking tape or guerrilla tape with a big 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:15.120 indelible magic marker. Put your name and phone number on 0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:17.760 the inside of the bag. Because conveyor belts eat luggage 0:15:17.800 --> 0:15:21.240 tags for breakfast. Okay, that's number one. Number two, I 0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:23.760 love now the air tags. I live for the air tags. 0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:26.560 I've developed an emotional relationship with these air tags. They 0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:27.920 tell me they missed me. I love them. 0:15:28.000 --> 0:15:29.840 They And you know what, you can tell the airline 0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:32.040 where your bag is before the airline even knows. And 0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:34.360 the third thing is who told you where was it? 0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:36.160 In the manual? You had to buy every bag that 0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:39.360 was colored black? Right? Oh no, we switch that up, 0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:41.600 ugliest vomit green and orange for me. 0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:44.320 So tell drip pricing. Explain what that is, and now 0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:47.520 I avoid died if you can drip pricing. Yeah, drip pricing. 0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:51.080 We're living in a world of dynamic pricing right now. 0:15:51.240 --> 0:15:53.680 They change the airfares by the hour, by the second, 0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:56.400 by the minute. And what they're doing is they're going 0:15:56.480 --> 0:15:59.080 to publish a fair that you think is the right fair, 0:15:59.560 --> 0:16:02.280 and the next you know, they're adding other fees that 0:16:02.400 --> 0:16:04.320 you didn't know they were being added. And it's a 0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:08.000 tax dodge, right, So you heard of resort fees at hotels. 0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:10.880 Sure, that's a tax dodge because every city has a 0:16:10.960 --> 0:16:14.840 municipal occupancy tax, highly taxed, so up to twenty one 0:16:14.840 --> 0:16:16.480 percent in some city. So if it's a two hundred 0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:19.120 dollars room, forty those dollars doesn't go to the hotel. 0:16:19.520 --> 0:16:21.320 So how are they going to make that up? Stupid 0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:23.360 resort fee that doesn't get taxes. 0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:26.840 An occupancy tax gets taxes A sales taxes seven percent, 0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:29.000 so the hotel retains more of that. But they're not 0:16:29.080 --> 0:16:31.040 telling you that, right, And what they're not telling you 0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:33.720 is it's all negotiable because they didn't dispose it in 0:16:33.760 --> 0:16:36.280 the first place. So you can have that conversation. 0:16:36.440 --> 0:16:38.320 I could just see me rolling up in the rich 0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:40.080 Culton going on, you ever talked to the manager about 0:16:40.080 --> 0:16:40.520 the drip too? 0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:43.120 But look, if you talk to the manager about that, yeah, 0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:44.560 guess what they write it? 0:16:44.640 --> 0:16:52.480 They take it off. It's negotiable. Wow Okay, no really, Wow, 0:16:53.320 --> 0:16:54.440 that wasn't very decisive. 0:16:54.760 --> 0:16:57.960 Yeah, wow, he doesn't like I'm trying to be sensitively. 0:16:58.040 --> 0:17:05.040 Really, book my phone, not online app sobsolutely everybody watching 0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:06.760 me now and you guys is probably going to do 0:17:06.800 --> 0:17:09.040 their reservations online. They're losers. 0:17:09.359 --> 0:17:15.800 And the reason why they're losers at the belly Yeah, not. 0:17:15.880 --> 0:17:17.680 Only is he, by the way, innovating the show, but 0:17:17.760 --> 0:17:19.920 he's running the shop FORMDIA. 0:17:21.400 --> 0:17:23.200 And the reason is what you're seeing on your screen 0:17:23.640 --> 0:17:26.520 is not all the inventory, right, So what you're seeing 0:17:26.680 --> 0:17:29.320 is the inventory given to that online travel agent by 0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:31.320 the travel provider. How many times have you gone on 0:17:31.359 --> 0:17:33.960 the screen set? Only three seats left? Only two seats left. 0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:35.040 It's a lie. 0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:37.679 It's only three seats left and the allocation they were 0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:41.840 given right. So the bottom line is search online, pick 0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:43.360 up the phone to talk to a human being. It's 0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:45.960 a new concept. But wait now I want to clarify. Yeah, 0:17:46.400 --> 0:17:49.160 so I don't tend to use xpedis and kayaksient. 0:17:49.200 --> 0:17:49.560 That's good. 0:17:49.840 --> 0:17:53.000
