Well, what did he do this? 177 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:53,680 Speaker 3: This person is a repeat offender, at least according to 178 00:09:53,880 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 3: ABC News reporting on August Defender, and he he is 179 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 3: one of Switzerland's wealthiest people, so he will see. Yeah, 180 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 3: he's on a list of the top three hundred wealthiest 181 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:13,080 Speaker 3: people in Switzerland. And so in Switzerland, when you are 182 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 3: facing a fine like this, a civil penalty, they don't 183 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 3: base it on some kind of standardized number if you're 184 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 3: going a certain mile of par over or something. They 185 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 3: base it on the wealth or family status, or basically 186 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 3: who you are as a person, and how much you've 187 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 3: got in. 188 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 4: The bank, financial your social and financial content. 189 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 2: Yes, oh yes, okay, go ahead. 190 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 3: So if you are someone who has almost no wealth, 191 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 3: right at least. 192 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,559 Speaker 4: For say a podcaster, Yeah, if you're a. 193 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 3: Podcaster, you may not face a fine at all. You 194 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 3: will just spend the night in jail. 195 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 2: Now, I am not against this idea of letting the 196 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 2: punishment not necessarily fit the crime, but be meaningful in 197 00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 2: some way, you know. Otherwise, what incentives do people have 198 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,440 Speaker 2: for not speeding or not breaking the law. But this 199 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 2: seems a little overkill, but I'm just putting that out there. 200 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 4: Let's also point this out that this idea, this kind 201 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 4: of tiered system of fines, is tremendously popular with the 202 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 4: vast majority of people who live in those countries. There 203 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,680 Speaker 4: are some people who don't like it, and they're the 204 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 4: very well to do people on the far end of 205 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 4: the spectrum. 206 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 3: Well, yeah againness, what we talked about, a lot of 207 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 3: these fines traditionally, at least in the US, have been 208 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 3: treated as a slap on the hand. If you know 209 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 3: you're you get a even a five hundred dollars speeding 210 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,200 Speaker 3: ticket or something. It's nothing to some people, but to 211 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 3: others it is. It has a massive effect on let's 212 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 3: say your monthly expenses or something. It just kind of 213 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 3: looms over your head. It's a really interesting way to 214 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,319 Speaker 3: handle it, because even if you've got millions of dollars, 215 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,080 Speaker 3: like this other guy who was he was riding around 216 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 3: in his ferrari, he is facing a ticket equal to 217 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 3: two hundred and ninety thousand for speeding in twenty ten. 218 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 2: Now that may smart, right, but that's not going to 219 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 2: keep him from eating that week. Well it won't. 220 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:12,839 Speaker 3: But imagine like if you're somebody on those upper echelons, 221 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 3: your your wealth manager coming to you. 222 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,200 Speaker 2: Really, oh, we really got to knock speed. 223 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, this is not I'll do the wealth managure part. Okay, 224 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 4: Admiral von Frederick. We've got the latest Q four petty 225 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 4: traffic crimes reported and Admiral you're just going to have 226 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 4: to either stop speeding, or you'll have to stop doing 227 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 4: it while you're drinking hogwash. I do what I want, 228 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 4: all right, we'll put it in the hogwash file. 229 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 2: Yes, it's a tax right off. 230 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 3: There's another really interesting thing that happens here, as again, 231 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 3: if you're really trying to stop people from doing things 232 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 3: like speeding or any kind of punishment you would get 233 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,560 Speaker 3: for you know, a public disturbance something like that, just 234 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:59,560 Speaker 3: these small or fine things. Sure, the courts find this 235 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 3: one person around twelve thousand dollars up front, and then said, 236 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 3: if you violate one of these rules again in this 237 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 3: same similar way, we're going to find you the rest 238 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 3: of what you owe, which would be around ninety eight 239 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 3: thousand dollars, And then if you do it again, we're 240 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 3: just gonna double. We're gonna start increasing that number every 241 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 3: time you violate again. 242 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 4: So it makes sense. 243 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 3: It does seem like a way to prevent some of 244 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:27,679 Speaker 3: those things from happening. 245 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:27,840 Speaker 4: You know. 246 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 2: It reminds me of that there's a Curb Your Enthusiasm 247 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 2: episode that went into this idea of scarlet letter punishments, 248 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 2: where like, you do a thing and you get punished 249 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 2: in a way that like outs you for having done 250 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 2: the thing like you have to like publicly wear a 251 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 2: sign of shame of some kind like d ui per 252 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 2: habitual d ui. You know, I guess convictions leading to 253 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 2: a certain kind of license plate that has like a 254 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 2: whiskey on it or something. 255 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 4: They call them. They call I think it may be Ohio, 256 00:13:56,080 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 4: they're called party plates. Yeah, really yes. But a certain 257 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 4: judges and you created and it is up to the discretion, 258 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 4: of course of the judge to dish out the scarlet 259 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 4: letter punishments here in the United States. And so one 260 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 4: thing that's clever, going back to your story, Matt, one 261 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 4: thing that's clever about this system of punishment is that 262 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 4: it removes the trouble with a flat rate punishment, right. 263 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 4: I can't remember the stand up comic who said it. 264 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 4: They were talking about divorce, and they said, if you 265 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 4: owe ten thousand in a divorce and you make ten 266 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 4: million a year, you can live with it. If you 267 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 4: owe ten thousand in a divorce and you make one 268 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 4: hundred thousand in a year, then you might be in trouble, 269 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 4: you know. So raising this stuff, raising it based on 270 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 4: the socioeconomic context or the financial means of the person 271 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 4: added with their repeat crimes. It avoids the error of 272 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 4: making something just the quote unquote cost of doing business. 273 00:14:58,400 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 2: Yes, you know, yeah, I think I'm on board. 274 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 3: Well here's the other thing. Guys, how many we've all 275 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 3: gotten a speeding ticket? Right, we've gotten a speeding ticket? 276 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 4: Oh my god, I was a kid ticket Yess, when 277 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 4: I was. 278 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 3: A kid, I was I was speeding down South Georgia, 279 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 3: heading towards Columbus, and. 280 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 2: I got a speeding ticket. 281 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 3: All well, it was a police officer who physically had 282 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 3: a you know, one of those radar things checked my speed. 283 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 3: That's how I got a ticket. In this case, this 284 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 3: person is being charged one hundred and ten thousand dollars 285 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 3: US from an automated system. 286 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 2: I talked about this a minute ago during the intro. 287 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 2: I recently paid a ninety five dollars parking ticket that 288 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 2: I was notified of in the via the mail, and 289 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 2: I missed the window to dispute it, and therefore I 290 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 2: had no choice but to pay it. But you do 291 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 2: kind of have to trust these systems, which I don't 292 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 2: know if I inherently do. 293 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 3: Well, can you imagine a computer just telling you, hey. 294 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 4: Yes, yes I can't. I can't because it's a calculation. This. Okay, 295 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 4: I'm going back on the It's Big Brother rant, you guys, 296 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 4: because I can absolutely believe it. I'm a face on 297 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 4: a screen as I say this, just like the adaptation. 298 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 4: Oh jeez. Yeah. But the reality is that automation is 299 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 4: you know, people talk about it on internet forums all 300 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 4: the time about how it hits private industry, but it's 301 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 4: coming for law enforcement too. We're not too far away 302 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 4: from a world where in the law enforcement and the 303 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 4: judges may be largely automated. And some people would argue 304 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 4: that that might be a fair, more fair world, but 305 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 4: I am skeptical. 306 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 2: Well, we certainly talked about how the algorithm based crime 307 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 2: prediction as a real interesting place in the future. 308 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 3: Minds, we have an idiocracy right now, Shut the hell up. 309 00:16:58,040 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 4: Evidence and stuff. You know. 310 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,120 Speaker 2: The one thing that didn't age well about that move 311 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 2: is their repeated use of the F word. 312 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:14,439 Speaker 3: Yeah, but again, that's like right the point, yes, yeah, 313 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:15,400 Speaker 3: So what else? 314 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,959 Speaker 4: What else do we need to know if we're if 315 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 4: we're a loyal conspiracy realist in the crowd, what else 316 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,200 Speaker 4: do we need to know about this story? 317 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,640 Speaker 3: We need to know that this is I think an 318 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:29,480 Speaker 3: awesome way to do civil penalties and things like that, 319 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,920 Speaker 3: and I don't know. We were talking earlier with our 320 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 3: I guess we call him our boss, but more of 321 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 3: our bro will from our time genius. We were hanging 322 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,280 Speaker 3: out with him earlier talking about this, and he said, 323 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 3: or he made the point that he doesn't think it 324 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 3: would ever come to fruition in the United States, at 325 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 3: least on a federal level, right because these laws that 326 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 3: we're talking about are on the local level or a 327 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:55,439 Speaker 3: state level usually. So maybe we could find places in 328 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,160 Speaker 3: the US that start doing this, but he doesn't think 329 00:17:58,160 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 3: it would be a blanket. 330 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 2: It seems like the criticism in the US would be 331 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 2: it's communist, you know, or it's like socialism. This idea 332 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 2: of paying your share doesn't typically go over super well here. 333 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,480 Speaker 4: But yeah, what it wouldn't make you It would violate 334 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 4: to a lot of people the idea of being treated 335 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:19,880 Speaker 4: equally under the law, which is a buzz buzz. I 336 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,679 Speaker 4: know I'm saying it's a buzz I'm not I'm not 337 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:25,399 Speaker 4: the one that idea. It's just it's the it's the 338 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 4: buzz phrase that people throw around. Add to that, uh, 339 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 4: Congress has a lot of a lot of financial theft, 340 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 4: and their primary campaign contributors are people who do have 341 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,439 Speaker 4: to pay more for parking tickets. So I agree with 342 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:42,920 Speaker 4: I agree with Will. I think it'd be better if 343 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,760 Speaker 4: it did happen, but the odds are stacked against this 344 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 4: in the States. 345 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 2: Agreed. 346 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:52,440 Speaker 3: But if you think about it objectively, I think maybe 347 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 3: you could get enough people to see the light here, 348 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 3: because how do local areas get income for things like 349 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 3: roads for you know, in repairs like that, for all 350 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:06,919 Speaker 3: kinds of things that are public utilities, public things that 351 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 3: go on. You get that funding a lot of the 352 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 3: time from these types of penalties, from the lottery, from 353 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,959 Speaker 3: depending on what taxes are on things like alcohol and cigarettes. 354 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:21,360 Speaker 3: That's where these counties generally in the US get their money. 355 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 3: If you had a couple of really rich folks in 356 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:28,680 Speaker 3: your county that ended up paying one one hundred thousand dollars. 357 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 2: One ticket paid for swimming for the whole year, seriously, 358 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 2: I don't know. 359 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 4: But then that could lead to corruption as well, right, 360 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:41,200 Speaker 4: because now what if we are watching those people far 361 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,119 Speaker 4: more ghostly to see whether or not they're wearing a 362 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 4: seat belt. Yes, I'm also if I were you know, 363 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 4: in this small town, you're describing Matt, I'd be all 364 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 4: about it, you know what, I mean. 365 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,680 Speaker 3: Everybody else would be except that one. 366 00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, because because you're outnumbered then right. And it's also interesting, 367 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,200 Speaker 4: I guess we probably don't have time to get into this, 368 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 4: but it's interesting to see how this might be applied 369 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 4: in countries that have different laws or legislation around morality. 370 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,399 Speaker 4: Like what if your first divorce costs Your first divorce 371 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 4: does cost more to pay on how much you make. 372 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,400 Speaker 4: But what if your second divorce, no matter what, has 373 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 4: higher fees. What if your third divorce has increasingly higher fees? 374 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 4: You know what? You know, I guess we have to 375 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 4: include those sort of We have to remember that there 376 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 4: are a lot of countries that have religiously based moral laws, 377 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 4: and that's where it could get sticky too. For sure. 378 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you'd have to make a clear separation 379 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:43,880 Speaker 3: of that kind of thing. 380 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 4: You know. 381 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:47,919 Speaker 3: It's just for the things that's it's the rules that 382 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,919 Speaker 3: everybody is agreeing upon. If you break one of those, sorry, 383 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:52,720 Speaker 3: But it's. 384 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,400 Speaker 2: A similar argument to the idea of like taxing the wealthy, 385 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 2: you know, yeah, I mean, and that certainly doesn't go 386 00:20:58,080 --> 00:20:59,680 Speaker 2: over well here. In fact, there's a lot of in 387 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,199 Speaker 2: this administration, laws being passive, that the wealth you have 388 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 2: to pay the less tax, and this notion of carrying 389 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 2: your fair share because of the fortune that you have 390 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 2: had the benefit of achieving under our financial system. People 391 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 2: don't like that. 392 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree. 393 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 6: It feels like punishing success. That's the argument. Yeah, I'm 394 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 6: to leave it with this, guys. Uh again for BBC News, 395 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,639 Speaker 6: the vowed criminal vowed v A U D. I think 396 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 6: that's how you would say, the vowed. 397 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:30,440 Speaker 2: I vowed to take down all criminals. That's okay. 398 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, this is the region in Switzerland. Their criminal code 399 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:38,119 Speaker 3: sets a maximum financial penalty based on the quote personal 400 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 3: and economic situation of the offender at the time of 401 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:46,200 Speaker 3: the ruling, which is really interesting and important. Uh So 402 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:50,440 Speaker 3: it takes into account issues like income, fortune, lifestyle and 403 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:52,160 Speaker 3: family financial needs. 404 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 2: Has there been any pushback in the region about this. 405 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 3: I'm not seeing any pushback here.

Often because again to 542 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,960 Speaker 2: the perceived scarcity of it all, most of these brick 543 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,399 Speaker 2: and mortar shops are very small, and that's sort of 544 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:33,120 Speaker 2: by design. 545 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:37,439 Speaker 4: And you also have to get this, guys. To accelerate this, 546 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 4: you also often have to enter a lottery for the 547 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 4: ability to enter the store and shop. You have to 548 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 4: pay to win a chance to spend money, which is 549 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:54,680 Speaker 4: ethics aside, brilliant and anybody listening, I need your help, 550 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 4: uh not entirely with my consent. My house is slowly 551 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:00,640 Speaker 4: turning into one of the stores. 552 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm not far off. 553 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 4: Welcome, huge, huge fan of these. 554 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,120 Speaker 2: We got him lining every window still in the spot. 555 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 2: But I don't have a labooboo and don't really care 556 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 2: too much about it. So this this took up a 557 00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 2: lot more time than I was expecting. But it is 558 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:14,920 Speaker 2: interesting in this whole perceived scarcity and the fact that 559 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 2: this dude that created this quite a while ago, to 560 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:22,200 Speaker 2: you know, very niche acclaim is now a multi billionaire 561 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,240 Speaker 2: ben you were mentioning young young dude too. 562 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, he's a young man with a incredibly tragic backstorre. 563 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:37,000 Speaker 4: His name's Cossing Long, Hong Kong illustrator and the popmark designer. 564 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:40,600 Speaker 4: He's clearly best known for Boo Boo. But we were 565 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:43,280 Speaker 4: I think we were all surprised to learn that he 566 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,800 Speaker 4: is actually I don't remember a specific net worth, but 567 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 4: he is a billionaire. He's pretty young as billionaires go, 568 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,880 Speaker 4: about fifty two years old. He's a self made man, 569 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 4: which we love to see. 570 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:56,440 Speaker 2: Oh, I thought he was a little younger than that, 571 00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 2: but I guess his billionaires ago that is someone so 572 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:02,600 Speaker 2: this Quskin. That's yeah, that's very true. So real quick, 573 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:04,320 Speaker 2: I just want to mention a couple other stories. A 574 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,400 Speaker 2: swarm of jellyfish took out a French nuclear power plant. 575 00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:12,440 Speaker 2: Basically this, this power plant, the Gravelin's nuclear power station 576 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 2: in France, had to go offline due to a massive 577 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 2: storm of jellyfish that clogged up its cooling systems. And 578 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,680 Speaker 2: WECE does a really fun job of putting this in 579 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:27,719 Speaker 2: underdog story terms. They say, actually in the article by 580 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:31,960 Speaker 2: Lewis Prada, if you've ever felt powerless, remember that a 581 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,440 Speaker 2: bunch of spineless, brainless sea creatures that look like floating 582 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 2: plastic grocery bags just temporarily shut down one of Europe's 583 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,880 Speaker 2: biggest nuclear power plants. So you know, take that for 584 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,400 Speaker 2: what it's worth. It's a it's a story of inspiration. 585 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 3: You may not be that powerful, but if you are many, 586 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:49,920 Speaker 3: you can make things happen. 587 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,000 Speaker 2: That's exactly right. It's like the plot of the movie 588 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:53,560 Speaker 2: Ants or A Bug's Life. 589 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:57,959 Speaker 4: Or World Z plot. Yeah, the plot of literally every 590 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,200 Speaker 4: revolution in human history. Are leader of us that there 591 00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:02,920 Speaker 4: are of them, we are Spartacus. 592 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:07,560 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, So that's the real quick mention of that one. 593 00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:09,240 Speaker 2: And the last one that I just think is fun. 594 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:12,560 Speaker 2: In Ohso, Florida is a dude wearing a Chuck E 595 00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:16,240 Speaker 2: Cheese mascot outfit at an actual Chuck E Cheese restaurant 596 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:21,880 Speaker 2: in Tallahassee, Florida, was escorted out by police and handcuffs 597 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:25,000 Speaker 2: with the head on and everything, right in the middle 598 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 2: of taking photos with children. Wow, I think he has 599 00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:32,680 Speaker 2: a little poor form from the Tallahassee Police Department. Gotta 600 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,440 Speaker 2: say whatever this man did, which was like, I think 601 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 2: he made some illegal purchases on a stolen credit card. 602 00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,360 Speaker 2: Not cool, had a little lead on him, had done 603 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 2: some credit card from the past.

My theory was 606 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:54,160 Speaker 4: this guy. Hopefully I'm painting him as an anti hero 607 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:58,560 Speaker 4: in my mind. Folks. He was getting arrested right and 608 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,040 Speaker 4: they were like, take off your cut, to take off 609 00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:04,640 Speaker 4: your mask, and he said, no, I'm going down the 610 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:06,719 Speaker 4: way I came up the mouse. 611 00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,480 Speaker 2: Well, apparently they did take the head off once they 612 00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,120 Speaker 2: got to the police car, adding to the trauma of 613 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:16,520 Speaker 2: the young l Yeah, that's exactly right. And then the report, 614 00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,960 Speaker 2: the reporting from Fox thirty five or Orlando.

Okay, Because some of 671 00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:29,800 Speaker 2: the reporting was a little vague around that. I appreciate 672 00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:33,279 Speaker 2: the clarification. It feels a little tesla Edison does not. 673 00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:38,280 Speaker 2: Don't disagree or a little there's a tesla tesla like Elon, 674 00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:42,440 Speaker 2: you know, his whole grabby hands at other people's ideas. 675 00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:46,160 Speaker 4: And congratulations to you, Elon, you're a big fan of 676 00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:50,680 Speaker 4: the show. I'm assuming you just got a promotion as well. Yeah, 677 00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:52,360 Speaker 4: and I hope big balls is okay. I heard he 678 00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:53,720 Speaker 4: got beat up by a bunch of kids. 679 00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:58,160 Speaker 3: Did you see his the payscale for that guy in 680 00:35:58,239 --> 00:35:59,000 Speaker 3: the pay package? 681 00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,800 Speaker 2: Yes, talking about I think he got a big old 682 00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:02,480 Speaker 2: like stock. 683 00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:06,920 Speaker 4: It's massive. These aren't even the stories to close out 684 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,919 Speaker 4: the last part of our Strange News segment, Folks, there's 685 00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:13,200 Speaker 4: our big last story. We talked about the Bermuda triangle 686 00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:17,759 Speaker 4: at the top. We wanted to deliver on this. There 687 00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:22,360 Speaker 4: is a guy who says he has solved the Bermuda triangle. 688 00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:24,000 Speaker 2: Thank you God, thank you. 689 00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:27,080 Speaker 4: Just sat down. He figured it out in my in 690 00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:30,439 Speaker 4: my head. You know what I'm picturing is the guy 691 00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:34,840 Speaker 4: just found out about the Bermuda triangle, like earlier in August, 692 00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:37,439 Speaker 4: and he said, well, no one's really figured this out. 693 00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:39,200 Speaker 4: And they said, no, we don't, we don't know. And 694 00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:43,960 Speaker 4: he said, kriikey and he sat my Foster's. 695 00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:48,640 Speaker 3: You guys, do you ever wonder if it takes somebody 696 00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:53,759 Speaker 3: who has no context for a problem es to be 697 00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,239 Speaker 3: able to analyze it and then actually see the thing 698 00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,640 Speaker 3: that everybody else is blind to because they've been looking 699 00:36:58,680 --> 00:36:59,479 Speaker 3: at it for so long. 700 00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:04,840 Speaker 4: One hundred percent that's why, that's why so many revolutionary 701 00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:09,400 Speaker 4: breakthroughs in mathematics come from very young mathematicians. 702 00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:10,319 Speaker 5: You know. 703 00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:17,560 Speaker 4: Arguably that's why certain musical musical prodigies haven't heard a 704 00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:20,400 Speaker 4: lot of stuff before and then just know it. You 705 00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:22,920 Speaker 4: know it'd be really it's there are a lot of 706 00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:26,600 Speaker 4: weird experiments. Actually in that regard, I'm making the mad 707 00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:29,480 Speaker 4: scientists face. Okay, there are some experiments we could do 708 00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,720 Speaker 4: if ethics weren't a thing. But I love your point, Matt, 709 00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:38,560 Speaker 4: because our pal here, Carl Kruzelnikki, is an Australian scientist 710 00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:42,880 Speaker 4: and hearing the headline this guy solved the Bermuda triangle 711 00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:47,240 Speaker 4: instantly makes us think of allegations of the paranormal, the supernatural, 712 00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:51,600 Speaker 4: conspiracy theories. He doesn't subscribe to any of that. He 713 00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:55,600 Speaker 4: thinks it's wackado. Let's go to an article in Popular 714 00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:59,520 Speaker 4: Mechanics We're big fans of Them by Tim Newcombe, which 715 00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:04,040 Speaker 4: was just published this August, August ninth, so mid birthday 716 00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:09,000 Speaker 4: season for us. Here's what here's what we would say. First, 717 00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:12,560 Speaker 4: we got to explain what the Bermuda triangle is for 718 00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:16,040 Speaker 4: anybody who may not have heard of it. I feel like, 719 00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:19,680 Speaker 4: if you are in the West. You were interested in 720 00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:23,200 Speaker 4: the paranormal. You've heard of the Bermuda Triangle, sometimes also 721 00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:26,920 Speaker 4: called the Devil's Triangle. It's just loose things sort of 722 00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:32,920 Speaker 4: like picture the points of the triangle being Bermuda, Puerto Rico, Florida, 723 00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:36,480 Speaker 4: right down down to the tippy tip of the Florida Peninsula, 724 00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:41,200 Speaker 4: which somehow sounds dirty. The idea of the the idea 725 00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:47,279 Speaker 4: of the Bermuda Triangle is that for time untold, some 726 00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:52,800 Speaker 4: vessels but not all vessels that enter this will mysteriously disappear. 727 00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:56,720 Speaker 5: Right, They might move through time, you know, yeah, get 728 00:38:56,920 --> 00:39:01,800 Speaker 5: like abducted or something, or like beamed up or down 729 00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:06,600 Speaker 5: or sucked into hell. Right, yeah, right, or there's so 730 00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:10,279 Speaker 5: many awesome theories exactly, some kind of like yeah, it's 731 00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:13,480 Speaker 5: taken to the depths exactly. 732 00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:14,160 Speaker 2: Yeah. 733 00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:17,720 Speaker 4: Yeah. And the thing is that ships and planes really 734 00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:22,440 Speaker 4: have disappeared in this area, because historically ships and planes 735 00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:24,720 Speaker 4: have disappeared in a lot of parts of the ocean. 736 00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:29,279 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, it's I mean, you know, how do 737 00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:31,799 Speaker 4: we define a disappearance. We're not defining it by an 738 00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:34,960 Speaker 4: accident happening. We're defining it by not finding the thing 739 00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:38,680 Speaker 4: after the accident. Occurs, and it turns out the ocean 740 00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:39,640 Speaker 4: is kind. 741 00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:44,040 Speaker 2: Of big and deep and deep. 742 00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:46,719 Speaker 4: The ocean's still deep, man. You got to ask it 743 00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:49,160 Speaker 4: about like Nietzche and jazz. 744 00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:49,640 Speaker 5: Yeah. 745 00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:51,799 Speaker 2: Have you ever watched The Wizard of Us with the 746 00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:54,120 Speaker 2: ocean with the sound turned off and the Dark Side 747 00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:54,920 Speaker 2: of the Moon playing? 748 00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:58,720 Speaker 3: What you can project Dark Side of the Moon into 749 00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:02,880 Speaker 3: the ocean? And and no way you would play Dark Side. 750 00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:04,120 Speaker 4: Of the Moon underneath the. 751 00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:06,760 Speaker 2: Ocean whilst projecting the Wizard of Oz from an original 752 00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:08,799 Speaker 2: thirty five millimeter print all the way down. 753 00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:13,520 Speaker 4: And obviously the ocean is such a cool cat. This 754 00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:17,240 Speaker 4: character talking about the ocean always wears sunglasses, smokes clothes, 755 00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:20,560 Speaker 4: you know what I mean, and never knows where the 756 00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:26,680 Speaker 4: ship disappeared. He's like the ricky Spanish. That's a reference 757 00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:30,480 Speaker 4: for maybe three people anyway, So our buddy Carl here, 758 00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:35,240 Speaker 4: he looks into this and he's been doing it actually 759 00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:37,319 Speaker 4: for a number of years. He didn't just walk in 760 00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:43,120 Speaker 4: without context, and he admitted, yes, the sheer volume of 761 00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:46,280 Speaker 4: traffic in the Bermuda Triangle, which is also a tricky 762 00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:52,760 Speaker 4: place to navigate, may explain the may explain why ships 763 00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:56,000 Speaker 4: are missing. But he also argues we need to have 764 00:40:56,080 --> 00:41:00,400 Speaker 4: a larger context to this. In his research, when he 765 00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:04,000 Speaker 4: runs the statistics across the globe, he says, the number 766 00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:06,440 Speaker 4: of ships and planes that go missing in the Bermuda 767 00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:09,319 Speaker 4: Triangle is the same as anywhere in the world on 768 00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:13,720 Speaker 4: a percentage basis. And then he points out something really 769 00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:18,120 Speaker 4: interesting that I think a lot of us didn't A 770 00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:20,000 Speaker 4: lot of us didn't think through this when we were 771 00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:22,960 Speaker 4: kids reading about the Bermuda Triangle in the Mysteries of 772 00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:27,600 Speaker 4: the Unknown series or something. It's this, insurance companies don't 773 00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:31,600 Speaker 4: think there are any shenanigans about Lloyd's of London. Isn't 774 00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:35,360 Speaker 4: charging extra you know, they're not charging a Bermuda Triangle 775 00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:38,719 Speaker 4: paranormal danger fee? God, And wouldn't they? 776 00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:39,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, they would. 777 00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:43,600 Speaker 3: I just had a realization in October when we go 778 00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:46,040 Speaker 3: on our Virgin cruise, guess. 779 00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:46,680 Speaker 4: Where we're going? 780 00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:51,880 Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, wait a minute, what smack down through the Triangle? 781 00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:53,879 Speaker 2: No, thank you, sir madam. I'm out. 782 00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:58,680 Speaker 4: It's too late. Beside, it's signed to blood and that's 783 00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:01,200 Speaker 4: maybe it's for to it us then that we have 784 00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:06,279 Speaker 4: held our Bermuda Triangle episode for so long that we're 785 00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:12,880 Speaker 4: going to do ale episode in the Bermuda Triangle. So 786 00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,359 Speaker 4: that's why I was pitching it so hard. I think 787 00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:19,799 Speaker 4: it's cool. We could get T shirts with triangles on them. 788 00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:23,560 Speaker 3: I made a Bermuda Triangle episode in the Bermuda Triangle. 789 00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:26,759 Speaker 2: And all I got was this crummy Bermuda Triangle episode. 790 00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:32,280 Speaker 4: We can hand out triangles the musical instrument anyway. 791 00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:34,680 Speaker 2: Yes, triangle cuts through the mix. 792 00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:39,799 Speaker 4: I love the triangle too. I always wondered whether there 793 00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:43,480 Speaker 4: is someone who is like the world's best triangle player? 794 00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:46,400 Speaker 4: How would you define that? And all they do is 795 00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:47,200 Speaker 4: play the triangles? 796 00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:50,919 Speaker 2: Funny, did you know that the King of the Hill 797 00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:55,640 Speaker 2: theme is called Yahoos and Triangles? I only know that 798 00:42:55,760 --> 00:43:00,000 Speaker 2: because reboot, and it's amazing by the way, the reboot, absolutely, 799 00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:03,960 Speaker 2: but when the theme comes up, it says, Yahoo's in 800 00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:07,000 Speaker 2: triangles by the Refreshment's place. And I have never in 801 00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:08,839 Speaker 2: my life have I known that. And I've been watching 802 00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:10,720 Speaker 2: King of the Hills since I was a small child. 803 00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:14,960 Speaker 4: Oh my beautiful. And going back to our triangle in 804 00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:19,480 Speaker 4: Bermuda with a with again the crews we're talking about 805 00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:22,040 Speaker 4: as a true crime conspiracy cruise. We're doing a verge 806 00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:26,080 Speaker 4: of voyages from October tenth to the fifteenth. We don't 807 00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:30,520 Speaker 4: know if Carl is going to join us on this, 808 00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:34,880 Speaker 4: but it turns out Carl has been saying the same 809 00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:40,879 Speaker 4: thing consistently and the science keeps appearing to back up 810 00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:44,520 Speaker 4: what he is saying. When he looks through the stats, 811 00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:50,319 Speaker 4: he says that there is just a probability game and 812 00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:57,200 Speaker 4: good marketing and maybe some folklore. However, not everyone agrees, 813 00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:01,400 Speaker 4: So please join us when we go in depth, but 814 00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:04,640 Speaker 4: hopefully not to in depth, because that would mean the 815 00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:08,080 Speaker 4: ship is sinking. Whatever we're keeping it. We're not going 816 00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:10,840 Speaker 4: to in depth, but we are going in some depth 817 00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:16,040 Speaker 4: on the Bermuda Triangle live from the Bermuda Triangle. Please 818 00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:18,840 Speaker 4: do check it out. A couple of other things to 819 00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:30,560 Speaker 4: mention as we wrap Chick get your Gosh fantastic. Wanted 820 00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:35,160 Speaker 4: to end on a good note or an interesting note. 821 00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:38,439 Speaker 4: We'd love to hear everybody's thoughts about this. A Colorado 822 00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:43,839 Speaker 4: newspaper has asked the local government to give them three 823 00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:49,280 Speaker 4: hundred and fifty thousand US dollars to publish good news. 824 00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:53,800 Speaker 2: Okay, like I'm sorry, yeah, I anymore? 825 00:44:54,360 --> 00:45:01,560 Speaker 4: Right, that's that's the headline here. Yes, first, it raises 826 00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:05,120 Speaker 4: some questions. Right, There's a place called Douglas County, just 827 00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:10,520 Speaker 4: south south of Denver, and they the county government received 828 00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:17,560 Speaker 4: this proposition, perhaps an indecent proposal, from the publisher of 829 00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:25,080 Speaker 4: the Castle Pines Connection, and the idea was, look, you 830 00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:29,319 Speaker 4: give us some money, you you support us, we will 831 00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:34,320 Speaker 4: help make a positive impact on more residents in Douglas County, 832 00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:37,920 Speaker 4: will bring good news to the people. 833 00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:41,960 Speaker 2: Is that YouTube guy that did good news? Was that John? 834 00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:44,920 Speaker 2: It was a podcast or something it was. It was 835 00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:48,640 Speaker 2: during COVID. It was like John Krasinski did like good 836 00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:52,040 Speaker 2: news type videos that everyone was super stoked on for 837 00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:52,520 Speaker 2: a second. 838 00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:53,040 Speaker 1: Lame. 839 00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:55,000 Speaker 2: Now I think it's cool. I'm just sure. 840 00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:57,719 Speaker 4: I don't know. Our boss has said I tried to 841 00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:00,920 Speaker 4: pitch a good news podcast years and years ago, and 842 00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:03,200 Speaker 4: our boss has kind of had that same reaction you 843 00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:03,719 Speaker 4: just had. 844 00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:09,760 Speaker 2: Chomping on their cigars. Blades and blades can't get good stuff? 845 00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:10,359 Speaker 4: Is great? 846 00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:11,520 Speaker 2: That's what it was called. 847 00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:16,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's very kind. I really I really believed it. 848 00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:23,080 Speaker 4: The question here for everybody is should the we all 849 00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:26,400 Speaker 4: know that print newspaper is in serious trouble in the 850 00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:34,600 Speaker 4: United States, but journalism is likewise imperiled. Should local governments 851 00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:40,400 Speaker 4: or any government be paying a private paper too, you know, 852 00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:43,319 Speaker 4: for the even if it's for the purposes of reporting 853 00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:47,400 Speaker 4: good news, or does that compromise the journalism? I genuinely 854 00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:47,799 Speaker 4: don't know. 855 00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:51,080 Speaker 2: Journalism is already kind of compromised a little bit. It 856 00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:53,880 Speaker 2: seems like, at least compromising it in a good vibes 857 00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:54,560 Speaker 2: kind of way. 858 00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:58,000 Speaker 3: It's an interesting thing to think about, Ben, because it 859 00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:00,400 Speaker 3: makes me think about the NPR stuff, you know, public 860 00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:03,880 Speaker 3: news stuff like is it to receive money from a 861 00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:08,480 Speaker 3: government or whether it's local or federal? Is that compromising 862 00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:09,239 Speaker 3: it in some way? 863 00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:12,160 Speaker 2: Well, it depends on the nature of the relationship. I mean, 864 00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:15,839 Speaker 2: it can be seen as a perceived compromise. But like 865 00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:18,920 Speaker 2: you know, government funding for public broadcasting, for example, I 866 00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:21,680 Speaker 2: don't think even the BBC, I mean, do you think 867 00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:26,719 Speaker 2: there is an inherent expectation that the BBC is meant 868 00:47:26,719 --> 00:47:29,040 Speaker 2: to cover the crown and the royal family and the 869 00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:31,040 Speaker 2: government favorably? I don't think so. 870 00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:35,480 Speaker 4: Not favorably, but they do have some bright lines and 871 00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:38,520 Speaker 4: those are kind of already baked in because the United 872 00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:43,840 Speaker 4: Kingdom has some really touchy defamation and libel laws. 873 00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:46,200 Speaker 2: Like easier to achieve than here in the US. 874 00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:50,319 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, easier to smack people down at. Essentially, I've 875 00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:54,239 Speaker 4: made some opinions known about that lovely archipelago in the 876 00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:57,719 Speaker 4: past and British listeners no offense.
