1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: Jab Mission with Jones and Amanda.

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:05,120
Speaker 2: I've been really intrigued by a story I've been reading

3
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:09,239
Speaker 2: in Japan. There's a coastal town that has lost a

4
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 2: lot of money because of COVID, and the government has

5
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 2: given it an influx.

6
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 1: Of money, big chunk of money to help it recover.

7
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:21,920
Speaker 2: What they've spent that money on is a giant squid sculpture.

8
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 2: Have a look.

9
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 3: It's quite impressive.

10
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 2: It will it's impressive, but will it help the town

11
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 2: recover from coronavirus?

12
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: I don't know.

13
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 2: They spent twenty thousand dollars on it, a thirteen meter

14
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 2: long marine creature, and they've been criticized for squandering the

15
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 2: money on this. They say, oh, look, this will bring

16
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 2: tourists to the town.

17
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 1: I don't know.

18
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 3: But did you say twenty thousand or two.

19
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: Hundred thousand, two hundred thousand.

20
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, it's a lot of fiberglass, and I suppose

21
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 3: they would have commissioned an artist to make it.

22
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 2: This may be what use how much it costs to

23
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 2: get a giant squid sculpture, But is that the best

24
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 2: use of their coronavirus money? They are copying some criticism

25
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 2: that they were given this money for their communities to

26
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 2: help them survive, and instead they've done something big and dumb,

27
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 2: which I love.

28
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 1: I kind of like that, that's.

29
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 2: What you did.

30
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 3: You didn't you go out one time and buy a giant,

31
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 3: singing moosehead.

32
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 2: That's right, the kids. This is Buck, who we still have.

33
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 2: The kids were little. It was a Saturday morning. I

34
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 2: was cranky. Something had happened. We had no milk or bread,

35
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 2: and but why am I the person has to do this? So,

36
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 2: in high dudgeon, I left the house to go and

37
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 2: buy milk and bread, and I came home with a big,

38
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 2: singing moosehead. It's kind of like I set out to

39
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 2: buy and I spent my money on.

40
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: Something dumb. Surely we've all done this. Ada's
