Hey everybody, I don't know about you, but as you've watched out over the world, the war in Russia and Ukraine is not just isolated to Eastern Europe.

You want to listen to a podcast?
By who?
Georgia GOP Congressman Doug Collins.
How is it?
The greatest thing I have ever heard in my whole life.
I could not believe my ears.
This house, wherever the rules are disregarded, chaos and mob rule.
It has been said today, where is bravery?
I'll tell you where bravery is found and courage is found.
It's found in this minority who has lived through the last year of nothing but rules being broken, people being put down, questions not being answered, and this majority say, be damned with anything else.
We're going to impeach and do whatever we want to do.
Why?
Because we won an election.
I guarantee you, one day you'll be back in the minority and it ain't gonna be that fun.
Okay, James, we're back.
We've searched the world.
We've scattered the world.
It is Friday.
It is time to look at it.
There's a lot going on this week.
The podcast has been great.
We've had a lot of good stuff going on here.
We've had Sarah Carter.
It's been fun looking at the politics world.
But Fridays, we need to take a step back.
And so today, we take a step back.
And you and I have been scouring the globe, so to speak, to find the best.
But I have to lead off with this one.
This one is the one that just blows me away.
Carol Baskin's husband is alive.
I mean, am I the only one that missed this?
I mean, you know, I thought he was dead and fed to the lions.
We all saw this last night.
We all assumed he was murdered or whatever the case is.
Do you remember the hype around it during the pandemic, right?
Oh yeah, the Tiger King.
It was really fun and then it was really annoying.
They just passed a bill last year, the Tiger King bill about big cats.
This got really all the way up to Capitol Hill.
Right.
This is a thing.
It went from this is fun to I hate these people and I never want to see them again.
Well, somehow they found themselves back in the news again because Carol Baskin's dead husband is more than alive and breathing and well.
Yeah, declared legally dead in 2002 after going missing five years earlier has been found alive and well.
Don Lewis's resurrection.
But yet now they're saying that Baskin's actually talked about this in 2021 And said that, yeah, that Homeland Security has said, yeah, he's alive.
I mean, how did people miss this revelation?
I mean, this is beginning to be, you know, one of those, you know, Paul McCartney is not Paul McCartney, Paul McCartney's dead kind of thing, you know?
How did we miss this?
People probably hate talking about this stuff, and they probably can't.
Tiger King is no longer popular.
But you'd think somebody would just come up and be like, hey, man...
You know that's not true.
You know he's not dead, right?
Like, no fact checking.
No anything.
You know what?
It made for a better story that he was dead, and now that there's a little time past, we can say that he's alive, and then maybe it'll reignite the whatever...
Whatever Netflix wants to re-air about them.
It is amazing, though.
If I was Carole Baskin, I'd been accused of killing my husband, feeding him to lions all these years, then having him legally declared dead, and then all of a sudden in 2021 you find out he's alive, it seems like you would want, you know, with all the hate that she was getting, that she was saying, hey, no, no, the dude's alive.
He's in Costa Rica, you know?
He said, as long as you don't tell people I'm alive, you can keep whatever amount of money you want.
That has to be it.
You hold on to all the cash.
Where did they find him?
Costa Rica.
I'm sure he was miserable in Costa Rica living on his own.
Imagine you get to live in Costa Rica.
People think you're dead.
You change your name.
He probably is living the dream right now.
No social security number.
Just doing whatever he wants.
Yeah, I mean, Baskin went on to share her surprise at the news, adding, I didn't think he was capable of supporting himself.
He took about a million dollars down to Costa Rica.
I had agreed to let him do that so he could prove to himself that he could make a living.
As for what happened to the money in question, Baskin says she attempted to recover it, only to find there was only just $80,000 left because the investments he made were so bad.
I mean...
Okay.
Something ain't right.
Yeah, something ain't right.
He's fine.
He probably made very good investments.
She's probably living off those investments because, you know, she owns a zoo.
Yeah.
And zoos don't make money.
Yeah, no.
That's why they...
Listen, he's...
As much as I hate that show now, those people were insane and they all deserve to be locked up.
But...
That man is the one who got out.
He's been living the dream in Costa Rica alone with no one to bother him.
And he's away from Carole Baskin, which was probably the best thing for him.
Yeah, it is.
So, I mean, look, for those of you Netflix, you know, phenomenon folks, I mean, you know, look, Carole, I mean, what are we going to do now?
Is Elvis going to pop back up somewhere?
I mean, really, at this point, after, yeah.
Well, we lost, we just lost.
We lost Laysomarie.
Laysomarie, yeah.
How do you brought that up?
That was...
That was like, that was a little sad.
It was sad.
Like, not that losing celebrities isn't sad, but like, I don't know, I was like, oh, you know, they kind of, she just, she kind of just didn't, she's been through hell, that woman.
It's sad that it took, you know, took her life away.
Yeah, it did.
I mean, being the daughter of Elvis and then going through all of it and, you know, and then...
And being married to Michael Jackson.
Being married to Michael Jackson, being married to, well, she was also married to Nicolas Cage.
At that point, you're looking for trouble, but rest in peace, Lisa.
God bless her.
She's been through it, man.
She was.
I don't know.
I'm not old enough to care about all the stuff, but I just saw that a week ago, and I was like, oh.
You know, I know.
Oh, yeah.
And she was just at the, what, like two days before it was at the Golden Globes or whatever it was.
Right, for her.
Did you see the movie?
I have seen Elvis.
Elvis, it was interesting.
It was, you have to, again, one, you have to be an Elvis person, okay, I think, to really get it.
My mom's an Elvis person.
My uncle's an Elvis person.
I know about it.
I'm for it.
Oh, yeah.
I was, I will say he died on my birthday.
Oh, okay.
Here's you the weird fact of life.
It was my 10th birthday, or 11th, anyway, back when he died.
And we were having a birthday party.
It was after football practice.
I had some of the football team over.
Dad and them had cooked hamburgers, and we had ice cream.
And all of a sudden, my next-door neighbor, Betty, Betty West, When I grew up in my neighborhoods, we never locked the doors.
Now, my dad was a state trooper, but still, in our neighborhood, we never locked the doors.
Nobody did, because they never worried about alarm systems, which were unheard of at the time, because we had Betty.
Betty was a stay-at-home.
My mom, mom, who watched everything in the neighborhood.
Betty was always that kind of, you know, everybody has a Betty, I bet.
There's a Betty somewhere everywhere.
And I remember when I got to be driving, we had, I grew up on a dirt road, literally.
It was the main road, which was about, you know, 100 yards from the house.
But our little side road, Hawthorne Place was, Harlan Lane, whatever they want to call it back then, was dirt.
So when I started driving, one morning I was late going to work, or going to school, and so I had a 70 Chevelle, and I was going out from work, and I was going out to school, and I put the, I guess, put the gas down a little too hard and sprung some gravel, as teenagers are known to do.
And my dad got home late that evening and Betty met him out in the yard and said, was Douglas okay this morning?
And dad said, what do you mean, Betty?
He said, well, he sure did get out of here awful quick slinging a lot of gravel everywhere.
Betty dadded you out so hard.
Oh, we never had to worry about it.
Like I said, Betty knew everything.
But anyway, Betty comes running across and she's screaming.
She goes, he's dead!
He's dead!
I mean, I'm kidding you not.
This is, I mean, kids are out.
Everybody's out and parents are out.
And Betty's going, he's dead!
He's dead!
And somebody said, who is dead?
And we thought it was my next door neighbor, her husband, Winston.
And it was not.
And he said, how was his dad?
And it's like, oh, Lord.
So, there's my memory of Elvis.
Yeah, that's traumatizing.
It is.
It was my birthday time, but anyway, God bless Lisa Marie and Priscilla.
But back to the movie for a second.
I would encourage you to watch it.
It misses some big chunks, especially later in life.
Of, you know, some of his comebacks, and if you're not sure of the sequencing, the timing, you might get thrown off a little bit because everybody also fails to remember.
He was only, I mean, we're talking like a 20-year period.
I mean, we're not talking like, you know, the Rolling Stones who have a 60-year career.
You know, this man literally had, you know, give or take 20-plus years Of music in which he spent almost all of it.
And if you watch the movie, you know, no spoiler alerts, you'll find out they claim the reason was, you know, in the movie as his manager, but that he never really left the U.S. and did all of his stuff in Las Vegas.
But it was an interesting movie.
What really took me to the part of Elvis was the fact that Priscilla and Lisa Marie, both Priscilla made a comment.
She said if Elvis was alive, he would have liked this film.
And I thought to myself, I said, you know, can you get a better, you know, endorsement for the actuality of the film than Priscilla Presley herself?
So, interestingly enough.
All right, you know, moving on from the fantasy world of...
You know, Netflix and Elvis and everybody else and Carole Baskin's husband being alive, which still floors me.
I have a quick one here, and I just wanted to throw this in.
A reporter who is researching George Santos.
Now, George Santos, we've talked about briefly before.
George Santos is a new congressman from New York who undoubtedly has lied about everything in his life.
I mean, from his heritage to his...
I heard one the other day that he had to have an ACL surgery because he got injured in volleyball, and it turns out I don't think he ever played.
But here was an interesting one that I found, James, and this just shows you that somewhere along the line there's a real problem with this dude, who right now, frankly, has a voting card in Congress.
So just keep this in mind.
This reporter, and this was on Twitter, Andrew Kaczynski, said this.
He was researching George Santos for a couple weeks now.
And this is, look at how many names he has found associated with the person we know as George Santos.
He has found Anthony Santos, George Santos, Anthony DeVolder, George Anthony DeVolder, George DeVolder, George A.D. Santos, Anthony Zabrowski, George Anthony Santos DeVolder.
You know, look, I get it.
The Republicans don't have a big majority up there.
And I get that Democrats lied.
And I get that Biden still thinks he went to South Africa and got arrested.
I get it.
I get it.
But my God, do we even know who this person is?
Okay, we're talking about George Santos.
Yes.
Can I just say something real quick about this?
Because you brought him up and you made me laugh.
And it's one of the things that I meant to send.
I was supposed to send you last night.
So I went to the gym last night.
I'm on the treadmill.
And they have all the TVs on on the treadmills, right?
And I'm watching the basketball game in front of me.
But just to go to show you how divided we are as a country sometimes...
I look to my right to see CNN, and I look to my left and see Fox News, okay?
And we can be honest about this.
We cannot call those biased news stations.
It is what it is.
One supports the Republican Party, one supports the Democratic Party.
Right, right, right.
On the left, the title is the Fox News Network, and it says, LGBTQ couple pimp out their adopted sons, which is a very grabbing title.
Yeah, yeah.
On the right, I see Santos steals $3,000 from dying dog GoFundMe.
And I just started laughing because I'm looking at this like, dude, this is just like grab it and take it.
But the Santos things made me laugh.
The other one, if that's real, that's terrible.
But to steal $3,000 from a dying dog GoFundMe is the most pathetic thing I can think of.
And this is a Navy SEAL, undoubtedly.
It's like his dog and he steals $3,000.
I mean, folks, look.
I've made this clear, and I know some of it upset some Republicans who want to do the whataboutisms with Biden and the rest.
I get it.
Look, I think Warren should be held accountable.
I think Blumenthal, the fact that he never went to Vietnam, Warren is not an Indian, and she used her Indian heritage to gain something.
I think all of those need to be punished.
Okay, I do.
I mean, I'm an equal opportunity, and I've gotten...
In an interview a few weeks ago when somebody was actually, you know, challenging me on this, they said, well, what about the Democrats?
And I said, look, I said, at some point somebody's got to stand up.
I mean, and Republicans, I mean, we talk about being, you know, integrity and honesty.
And look, I don't know George Santos.
He was not in Congress, thank God, when I was there.
He just got there.
But, I mean, this is a man who has a vote in Congress.
He's one of 435 members.
He has access to secret documents.
He has access to To, you know, to briefings that you and I don't have anymore and the majority of Americans have never had.
And he has basically lied about everything.
I mean, all I can say is that they need to clear this up.
McCarthy, I know, says he's got to have a due process.
I don't disagree with McCarthy.
But in some ways, I think for the integrity of the institution, maybe the ethics committee needs to hurry up, you know, figure this out if there's something going wrong.
Otherwise, I mean, it just sort of lends to the narrative.
And this is what I'll say.
I mean, he may deep down be a good guy who just don't know how to tell the truth.
But at a certain point in time, it just lends to the farcical nature of Congress when this is a member and this is the kind of stuff that keeps coming out.
Right, for sure.
And it's not like it stops.
It's just like, it's every day we're getting something else about this.
Yeah, no, you're right.
You're 100%.
But it's just nuts.
But anyway, here on Fridays, James, we like to delve into the real world and then back outside to the...
Here we go.
Well, I found out something, and this is from listening, and I give proper credit to the Joe Rogan podcast.
As we've talked about being on the treadmill, I was on the treadmill and listening to Joe Rogan.
And I have now found out there's the theory out there that is being propagated That the city of Atlantis, the lost city of Atlantis that Plato talked about, and now there's some discussion that it was even discussed as early back as in ancient Egypt days, was not actually underwater in repeat.
It was not in the ocean now, but actually is in, I kid you not, the Sahara Desert.
On the western part of Africa.
Yeah, that makes sense, since we're talking about one of the most supposed to be this underwater group of, I guess, Atlanteans and mermaids, whatever the hell they are.
Listen.
It's weird.
It's weird.
If that's true, though, and there was an Atlantis, I know it's not supposed to be underwater, which is super disappointing because that's the whole point of it.
But calling it Atlantis, why Atlantis, I guess, is my question.
Why isn't it just any place that existed?
Well, now there's...
Yeah, well, they're saying it's the eye of the Saharas, what they're looking at, is being this context of the eye, the rickshaw structure, which most people don't even know exists, okay?
And if you're out there and listening to us today and you want to, you know, look this up, it's R-I-C-H-A-T, structure.
And it looks down, and it does look like an eye, and it's a circular kind of format.
It sort of resembles what Plato had described earlier, You know, the concentric circles and the rings, it sort of, you know, it looks like what Plato had talked about.
Now, this is in Mauritania, which is, I mean, the part of this is a city, a country called Mauritania.
Now, this is in, like I said, West Africa.
It's extremely difficult to get to, okay?
I mean, this is, you can't just, this is, you know, literal third world, fourth world kind of country.
I mean, there's nothing there, supplies, planes.
I mean, just getting there is almost impossible.
So a lot of it is satellite pictures, but those who have been there, The interesting thing that brought it to my attention was, okay, this Atlantis deal was that they're from...
And again, how science...
And this is sort of my angle on the Friday story is.
What they were talking about, these two researchers on the Rogan podcast, is that nobody wants to discuss that there may have been more...
Recent, if you would, ocean intrusions into the Sahara Desert.
Now, they've all, over millions of years, they say that the Sahara was underwater.
But the look at this and the salt content and others will lend you to believe that this happened 12,000 years ago.
And not millions of years ago.
And anyway, they laid this all out.
But it was really interesting to me that the part of this, whether you believe in Atlantis, don't believe in Atlantis, irrelevant.
The part that got me was, as they said, nobody in the climate change world and nobody in the science world who have been making these other statements about Atlantis or all these other ancient civilizations and the apocalyptic, you know, nature of what happens in some of these areas is they're not wanting to research this.
In fact, they're being classified as kooks or they're being called names.
And I bring this up because, James, if we've gotten into a world in which science, and you can only take it, and again, whether you believe in Atlantis or a city or where it's there or not, although it's on ancient maps and everything else, if you've gotten to where now scientists and academia are such gatekeepers of the world that they won't take on the possibility that something they publish is wrong, then what do we have science for?
Yeah.
I mean, I'm at a point.
It is.
I don't know what the harm in researching it is.
Is it money?
I guess it proves that all the books that they wrote probably wasn't right.
But what's really interesting, and these two that were on the Rogan podcast, let me see if I can pull up their names.
That's the thing.
So just because there's a bunch of stuff written about it that might be wrong, so we're not going to keep going?
Yeah, that might be wrong.
Yeah.
Jimmy Corsetti and Ben Van Kierwijk.
It was on January 18th.
It was just a recent podcast.
It's brand new.
But they were talking about how others who have done some writing on some things that are a little bit out there.
Now in academia, they're being called racist and they're being called all this other stuff.
And it's like, why would you not want to research this I mean, who cares where the city of Atlantis was, if it existed, didn't exist.
But I mean, if you're putting this stuff out there that the water flow, it goes to a whole issue of, you know, the climate change and some of the other issues that they may not want to discuss, that we've had these astronomical catastrophic events.
That have literally changed, you know, societal in these craters.
And, you know, because I think one of the interesting things they pointed out in the podcast was, is that the older cultures didn't look at comets like we did.
We think comets are, you know, pretty and we look at them and, you know, we study them.
You know, they looked at them as cataclysmic events because some of the, you know, historically they caused major change.
And, you Because they hit the earth.
But it's interesting to me, and the reason I bring this story up, again, not an issue of Atlanta.
You can believe it, don't believe it, whatever you're going to believe.
Or it's in West Africa, or you can believe it's in the Azores, or you can believe it's somewhere in the Bahamas.
I don't really care.
But what I do care about is this scientific integrity issue.
From the left, it appears that if you challenge the status quo, and especially in academia, or you challenge what is science of what they believe, Some of these guys are being called racist.
How do you bring white supremacy into this?
Yeah, that's a little confusing.
I guess my question is...
Is it something that's been peer-reviewed and they're like, this is...
Look, if there's like a hundred people that have seen this or whatever, and everyone is looking at it and going, this is completely wrong, you guys are idiots, here are the reasons and facts, and it has nothing to do with race or has nothing to do with what's just been written already, fine.
I'll take your word for it.
You guys are scientists as well.
But to just call a racist and move on then is like, oh, well...
It doesn't align with our version of global warming.
Well, maybe there's more information you need.
Maybe it'll help us now, you idiot.
Yeah.
Well, and I think that's it.
But to me, it's not the opening of the academic mind.
I've seen more of the closing of the academic mind, whether it has to do with COVID research, whether it has to do with vaccine research.
Again, not making a comment either way.
But, you know, when I was growing up, you know, science was, to me, was you have a hypothesis, you test the hypothesis, and you find out if it's, and you do experiments to right or wrong.
Okay, I believe that X is going to happen.
I test X, X happened.
Okay, I can show it scientifically.
To me, that's scientific thought.
Scientific thought is, well, here's what I believe.
I'm going to find a test that confirms that, and then everybody else is wrong.
And it goes to the left mentality, which I'm going to tie into another real-world story that is very frustrating to me.
And that was what just happened.
And again, it shows the left really is a closed mind.
And frankly, conservatives, you can't fall into this trap as well.
But the left in closed mind is this NHL player from Philadelphia, Pavarov.
He's a...
He's a player for them.
He's Russian Orthodox.
And they had their pride night in Philadelphia.
Well, he didn't come out for warm-ups because they were going to make all the players wear a pride-centric jersey and have their sticks were taped with pride colors.
And he said, look, that's against my faith, beliefs, and I'm just not going to participate in the pregame.
He said, but he played in the game.
And people, I mean, there's a sports reporter, it went viral on one of the Twitters, he just was sobbing, why can this homophobe be?
It's like, wait, okay, he didn't say anything bad about people.
He didn't name call people.
He didn't say that homosexual community or the transgender community, he didn't even talk about it.
He just said, look, I'm not going to participate in this.
At what point have we become so, and I'm concerned, James, that maybe COVID did this to us, that we became so concerned that everybody think alike that we're losing the ability for those to have true, you know, just freedom of expression.
That's what freedom is, is being able to choose something different than other people.
And two really wildly different stories.
Here, one about Atlantis and the Sahara, and then one about an NHL player.
But to me, They all go into this wild idea of you can't think for yourself.
Yeah, I mean, that's what the news talks about.
This is why I don't watch the news anymore, because it's always...
It's always, this person did this wrong.
We're going to get rid of that person.
We're not going to talk about that person anymore.
And you can't think outside.
It's basically you can't think outside of your own, out of your group that you're in, right?
So, you know, first of all, and I don't really want to get, like, fully into it, but, like, There was that case where the guy didn't want to make the cake, right?
I know I'm being very vague about that.
And that case was won, and it was over with.
But he won.
He blatantly won that case.
And I'm not saying whether it's right or wrong, because I don't know where I fall on that line as far as...
If it was a vulgar cake, fine.
But if he didn't want to make a cake just because that's who they were, if that's how you feel, it is what it is.
But he won that case, regardless of how you feel.
Yeah, and again, I'll go ahead.
No, no.
And I just think, okay, the guy didn't wear a t-shirt.
The guy literally didn't wear a t-shirt.
That's what you're saying.
If you want to attack him about it in your forum blog online talking about he's homophobic, fine.
You can say that.
You can post that if you want.
You're probably wrong.
But to attack the guy and put him on this public thing, like as if him not wearing a shirt means that he hates all gay people, sounds kind of insane.
Well, it is.
And you go back to the cake vacay out of Colorado and some others that have come up as well, photography and others.
And really, there was some more deeper legal issues in Colorado about what Colorado had done to sort of force compliance.
But what bothered me was, in that case, is, again...
And I've always operated on, if I have a business that has something that I don't like, or they treat me badly, or they have views that I don't agree with, you know what I don't do?
I just don't shop them.
100%.
Yeah, I don't go out and protest them.
I don't do anything else.
If they want to do it and they can find an audience, go do it.
And what bothered me the most about that continuation was, is how many other bakers in that same county could have baked this cake?
And instead, yeah.
That's the thing, is that they needed to make it clear that these were the bad people.
But if we continue to let the left, you know, if we're going down this right, and again, folks, you hear it from me all the time, you know, right and left, we need to get together here, and that true freedom is true freedom.
And it makes you uncomfortable, it makes you messy, just like a constitutional republic, which is what we have.
We don't have a democracy.
Email me at DougCollins.com, at DougCollinsPodcast.com.
There's a little email button you can...
Wave away there.
Plenty of you do already.
But we're not a democracy in the truest sense of the word.
We're a constitutional republic.
So let's get this straight.
But if we're not available to have other opinions and live within that and not prescribe conformity from a governmental level, then we got a problem as we go.
But as we go, and speaking of as we go, and now we're coming into the final bell here, I want to leave us with a good story here.
I've been to Sweden.
I've not been to Finland.
I've been to Scandinavia.
It's a beautiful part of the world.
If you ever have a chance to go there, please go.
It's an amazing, amazing place.
And the beauty is just really there.
But Finland has been voted the happiest country on the earth for forever.
You know, a number of years now.
And I run across this quick article and it had a few little advices that said, you know, how do you become, you know, happy?
Now, again, not to think that, you know, Finland is Disneyland in the North.
It's, you know, they have their own problems and suicide issues.
But, you know, for the most part, the people are happy.
James, here's what they said were the three keys to happiness in Finland.
The first one is don't compare.
They don't compare themselves with each other.
In other words, they don't, as we have here in the United States, keep up with the Joneses.
Even the rich and the wealthy, they're together.
The materialistic part doesn't seem to You know, be as prominent in Finland.
And I can see how that could make you happy because if you're content in what you have, you know, I'll even go back to my faith tradition, my biblical tradition, you know, when the scripture says, you know, he says it's, Paul said, he said, I'm content.
He said the issue is being content.
He said, I've been wealthy.
I've been poor.
He said, I prefer to be wealthy, but he said, but I've been both.
He said, but the issue is I'm content in wherever I am.
And I think that's what Finland is saying here.
And we see this all the time.
The other thing is nature, just getting outside.
And I think, believe me, James, I mean, you're in Texas now.
I'm in Georgia and Florida and all over the country.
I love being outside.
You know, just get me outside.
Put me in the woods.
Put me in the beach, wherever it may be.
I grew up as a kid in the woods in New Jersey.
You just send us out and we'll be back when my mom calls us or we hear that.
Or it just gets there.
You know, just get out.
And then the last one that they said, James, and we'll end it on this, was a trust in the community.
And I think we sort of today, we've had some of these wild ideas from, you know, we've got a congressman who doesn't seem to know who he is.
We have Carol Baskin, didn't know her husband was dead.
We now find out Sahara Desert, you know, maybe Atlantis.
I mean, there's so many things that you just don't know.
It comes back to trust and trust in community.
And they made the argument that they did the wallet test.
In other words, they put a wallet out on the ground and see how many people pick it up.
Around the world, you know, terrible results.
In Finland, 11 out of the 12 people in Finland would actually take it back to the owner.
Okay, first of all, those people are stupid.
Take the money.
No, I'm just kidding.
Doug, you mentioned before, it's funny you said that, you mentioned before that you had an open door policy in your neighborhood, right?
Yeah, yeah.
Well, so did I. And so did my mother when she was a kid.
When we were kids, one time, this is not a joke, this is the joke we always make when we see each other.
One of my best friends, he calls me and he goes, hey man, where are you?
I said, what do you mean?
I'm with my folks.
We're driving upstate to see my aunt.
He goes, well, I'm in your house and you don't have any food.
Yeah.
Because people, you know, he knew his door was unlocked.
He would go back, he'd go inside, he'd go grab some food and he'd leave because he was one of my best friends.
Our doors were always open.
We trusted everybody in our neighborhoods.
And You know, your best friends are just walking in and out, let you know they're there, whatever it is.
And that's, I feel like that probably just doesn't exist.
I hope that when I'm older, and I live in a decent neighborhood, hopefully, that that's the same policy that I have.
Like, I really, I miss that, that like, hey, just come on over.
Yeah, it is.
And you just come in, and the way we knew you were a stranger was you knocked.
Yeah.
Who the hell is in the door that's knocking?
Yeah, why?
Who rung the doorbell?
Who the idiot who knocked on the door?
It did.
All right, folks.
This is the Friday wrap-up of what's going on in the world.
James and I are here, and we go all week trying to find you the best and the brightest and throw a theme together.
The theme of it this year is, folks, take a deep breath.
Be content.
Get along.
You know, you'll live a lot longer and the world will be a better place for it too.
