Speaker 3 (00:09):
It's great, great to be back. It's been a why
it has so I went through withdraw so I'm really
I'm good now. Calm relax, you know, looking at hurricane
news on we were.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Just talking off air about that too. I mean, you're
one of many people. I mean obviously hundreds of thousands
of people in the Florida area that's going to be
affected by what is happening. You have an office down there,
and there are a lot of people that do that
that have you know, setups down there and so on.
It looks like the path of that is going to
miss Fort Myers, but you're going to get storm surge
(00:41):
you were just talking about, yeah, which is like a
five foot storm surge.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
You know.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
It just means that the way that the hurricane moves,
that will move big bodies of water like the Colassoochie
rivers down there, and uh, and so it just it'll
affect you if you're on a canal and it's it's
it's kind of weird. It's hard to describe because the
water moves in and it's out and then you're fine,
but it might leave a little trail of destruction, not
(01:08):
tearing damage of buildings, but like driftwood, you know that
kind of crap after water succeed.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Yeah, well, and you were you had sent me some text.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
He was listening, Joshua, when we were just talking about
what's going on in the Outer Banks with I think
a fifth home just falling into the Atlantic, and I
was showing him some of those pictures and stuff. I
was showing you about that whole situation there, and you're like,
you know, to uh. He was kind of answering the
question you had, josh It's like you were like, what
(01:38):
would cause somebody to spend money, no matter how rich
you are, in a situation like that for a home
that can be ravaged by And you were just like,
You're like, people do anything to get on the water.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
They'll build, it doesn't matter. They'll build and build and
always build. People want to be on water. And I
see obviously there's people with very deep pockets. What's happening
in Fort Myers. I was telling you, is private equities
coming in there and buying up your old property and
paying money because you deserted like there's a lot of
people said, I'm done with this, I'm gonna move to Montana, Idaho, idooa.
(02:14):
You know all that, which is legitimate. But there's some
people that I'll come right behind you and they'll pay
top dollar. It'll happen till the end of time. It's
just the way it is. Yeah, that's the way it is.
It's crazy, man, first world problems, but exactly. But still
it's still an investment.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
I mean, property is an investment, right, I mean, and
that's my investment business.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
It's it's a property. It's an investment. It is it is.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
But it also is that that I talked to a
lot of people about quality of life, the enjoyment of it,
and they'll look past that. It's an investment. It's you know,
I get joy out of it. You know most maybe
you get joy out of a portfolio. But you know,
now there's a nice house in the river, or a
canal or on the beach, I mean, think of the water.
(02:59):
You a recently, people pay top dollar. You know, it's
like it's it's just crazy. You know some of the
things you can see, like where is this money coming from?
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Well, that's what I don't just stand. I'll never be
able to afford something like that.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
I mean I never say never, never know, brother, No,
I seriously, you never know. Okay, it takes the right
person to go. That's the guy we want. That's all
it did.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
I just even then, you know, I'm not I'm not
building on the ocean. Just the salt water alone. It's corrosive,
the constant wind, the spray, it just eats away at everything.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
I don't want to do that.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Like let's saying, I go ahead and find me and
I'll build a cabin, you know, somewhere on the base
of a mountain in northwestern northwestern Wyoming, southeastern Idaho, and
you know, near a river, and that'd be like the
greatest that that's my heaven right there.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
That's what Josh Craves.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
I would never argue, because you know, we just finished
our bike trip. We ship our hurleys out to Colorado
and Utah rear and you know, I'm riding along just going.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Good lord, this is beautiful out of here.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Make sure you're not tailing anybody, so you don't ram
into it because you're looking around, going.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Holy well, not looking around that much, and not cars.
We go on back roads but you know when you're
an eight or nine thousand feet, that's that's eight thousand
feet more than Columbus. We're at seven hundred feet elevation
here right, okay, oh shu and Columbus Port Columbus eight thousands.
Pretty cool. I mean, it's crisp, it's clear. The breathing
is the breathing, well, you get a little higher, it
(04:34):
gets a little uh, you know, if you've got maybe
asthma or something like that. But you got to you've
got to get you have to acclimate to it. So
they sell these cool little cans of air. Are never
bought it.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Hey, look, people bought water, and everybody's like, no way,
people are gonna buy water. Why wouldn't they buy air too.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
I guess yeah, you need it to acclimate. But you're right, Josh,
I mean it is stunning out there. Why people are moving,
you know, from the new in the las and all that,
you know, from Florida. But I think still people are
moving to Florida, but out in that area, it is stunning.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
I told me, he told me something that before you
walked in that I did not realize. But FEMA insurance
it's two hundred and fifty thousand is the max that
you can carry.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
FEMA flood insurance.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Flood insurance, FEMA flooding shirts two hundred, so it's ten grand.
It costs ten grand. And if you have a something happened,
you know, say you have a five ten million dollar house,
you only get two hundred and fifty.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
That's the max. It's not even worth it. There his
uncle say, I'm ready to help. So most people help.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
The money out of your account is what he's helping.
Most people don't renew it, and most people will. We
just called self insured. You buy you buy wind insurance.
That's helpful too. But FEMA, Yeah, to joke, I didn't
realize that FEMA flood insurance two hundred and fifty thousand max.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
That's ridiculous. That wouldn't even think.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
About all the homes that are affected by floods well
in that area, and you're talking about that's a drop
in the don't even replace a room in that house.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
There's still a lot of rooftops down there that still
have chipped. You know, it's a lot of those ceramic
tiles still chipped.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
You know, again, did you what you said? Colorado?
Speaker 4 (06:12):
So have you ever been to the tri Corner area
the three the three most beautiful states in our nation,
which are Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana. Because it's I mean,
those three states are absurdly that in that corner where
they all meet each one is a little tiny piece
of yellowstone of it.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
That's what you know.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
But they called that try the tri state corner there
basically just think Yellowstone.
Speaker 1 (06:37):

one that's called four Corners.
Speaker 2 (06:43):

Speaker 3 (06:45):
Arizona in New Mexico, New Mexican, and we just hammered
through it because we were on our way to Durango
and we wanted to get there and there's a long
ride day. But yeah, it's really cool. There's a place
you can go stand. It's four corners of each stay.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
But there was a movie I was just watching where
they went there to get it on because they were thinking, oh,
we can get it on right on all four states
at the same time, like they were the only ones
thinking it.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
And they rolled up to do that and get what
on what are talking about? Get it on?
Speaker 1 (07:12):
As in whoopee, okay, right, And so they were there
and they started and then all of a sudden it
was dark and then like somehow and the cops were
there from all four different states try to arrest them.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
It was a comedy or whatever. That's funny.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
And we ride a lot just so you know, for
Florida people like you, don and the hundreds of millions
of people that are being affected by this understate of emergency,
this should make you feel a lot better. This will
make you feel a lot better.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Right.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
President Joe Biden has been briefed on the storm, and
so he's got a statement. He said, see you, look
at you. You're already looking like you're starting to feel better.
Because Joe Biden's on the case, I'm gonna hurle. Federal
resources and personnel are prepositioned, including generators, food and water,
along with search and rescue and power restoration teams. That
(10:17):
was the President saying that he's he's on it. He
is one hundred percent ready to help you.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Out. So don't worry, don't fret. He's got you taken
care of. I'm not even gonna go there. Look out,
look out, calm. He looks now, Josh, look at that.
Look at when they when they they need to and
bring the first word salad. Person. Now we have the
new word salad. Woman. No, his wasn't a salad.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
He I mean to you, he couldn't even she says
actual pronounceable words. He just talks absolute gibberish. It didn't
even make it into a word.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
See.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
To have a word salad, you have to use actual words.
You can't decipher anything that you just turned here. That's
not English. She had a sound salad, you know. And
we're laughing at it, but it's actually quite scary. I mean,
the world's on fire and this is Jack jack Assy.
I can't say that.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
No, he is a Jacks. How about his wife? She's
the one, you know, holding cabinet meeting not too long.
It's like, wait a minute, he's still president.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
What's going on?
Speaker 4 (11:21):
You imagine what the polls would look like right now
if Biden has still stayed in the race, how bad Trump.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Would be winning. He'd be like ninety eight to two.
I can't believe it's as close that it is. What
is wrong with you? He's flipping away, it's all nude.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
Her campaign is starting to flounder and come to a
grinding halt. He's got all the momentum he wins that
he wins the electoral College today if you believe all
the battleground poles, so.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
It shouldn't even be close. You guys, it's the Hillary
thing again. I'm telling you, it's a Hillary thing again.
He's gonna win by more than you give him credit for.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
I'm telling you it's the Hillary thing again. And I'm
not being cocky and all of those things. None of
that is involved. I'm just telling you with their gas
light us again. With these polls, I'm telling you, and
any polls that have Trump in the lead, they usually
if they start with that or they list it anywhere
and anything that you're watching or reading right behind it
(12:12):
are all these other poles that kanalas supposedly is leading
right now. And then you know, you start looking at
any fine print. It was like, you know, of twenty
likely voters that were in you know, New York City
or somewhere, that's incredibly skewed I'm just telling you it
is not what they are portraying it to be.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Right now, there is no You cannot convince me that the.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Average person is ready to have her run this country
and continue four more years of what we've been getting.
Speaker 3 (12:40):

Hate is a very powerful motivator.
Speaker 2 (12:46):

this country.
