Thirteen 61 00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:26.639 percent a rate there's as severe it goes beyond just 62 00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:30.960 being uncomfortable during doing math in class. It's forty seven percent, 63 00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:36.719 says it affects adults. Mainly parents phil anxious when their 64 00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:39.759 kids are asking them to help them with their math homework. 65 00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:44.479 That'd be me, man, I stopped helping my son with 66 00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:50.960 math homework in well, basically second grade.

Us falls even further 135 00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:11.839 down the World happiness ranking. The newest World Happiness Report 136 00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:16.199 says that Americas are grumpier than they've ever been the 137 00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:17.959 report came in existence. 138 00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:21.360 In the rankings, this show is helping that number go down. 139 00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:26.399 European countries dominate the top twenty, with Finland capturing yet again. 140 00:07:27.439 --> 00:07:30.360 What is it about Finland, Gus, Have you been to Finland? 141 00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:32.959 Have you ever been over there? Like in that area? Sweden? 142 00:07:33.279 --> 00:07:35.800 Norway very reserved, very quiet. 143 00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:37.439 Obviously there's a lot of snow, there's they've got a 144 00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:40.560 great hockey team every single year. 145 00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:44.079 They're like, Look, Norway, Sweden, Finland, these are the happiest 146 00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:47.240 places on planet Earth. Everyone that lives there loves it. 147 00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:50.920 I believe part of the reason is they have federal 148 00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:55.000 laws limiting how much you can work. It's basically a 149 00:07:55.040 --> 00:07:58.480 three or four day work week, and you can't answer 150 00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:02.120 emails or work like if it's a corporate situation after 151 00:08:02.279 --> 00:08:03.279 five or six pm. 152 00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:06.639 Oh boy, ahead like that, you think, Yeah, keep going 153 00:08:06.680 --> 00:08:07.720 because I'm looking something up. 154 00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:11.519 Yeah.

That's what I said. I would make 159 00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:21.560 it more depressing. 160 00:08:21.839 --> 00:08:26.639 Yeah, I do like a good cardigan sweater.

Experts citing access to 169 00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:51.919 nature and strong welfare systems as factors. 170 00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:56.360 Yeah, I mean exactly. It's nobody works really hard. Seems 171 00:08:56.399 --> 00:08:58.519 to be a lot of money. There are a lot 172 00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:01.919 of regulation, but when you don't have what's the population 173 00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:05.440 of Finland?

Anyway, Finland, Finland 225 00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:28.840 comes into number one. Where did? However, USA has dropped 226 00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:33.840 to the twenty fourth twenty fourth? Uh and in sites 227 00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:37.960 in sites you with us, we're twenty fourth. And part 228 00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:40.919 of the reason is fifty three percent of the people 229 00:11:40.919 --> 00:11:43.480 are dining alone for the past two days. What's wrong 230 00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:45.120 with that? Dining alone? I like that. 231 00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:47.639 I love it. Okay, I love it too. I like 232 00:11:47.720 --> 00:11:50.320 to I don't mind eating a loan And I tell 233 00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:52.480 you truth. I'm a go to the movies by myself 234 00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:55.039 guy too. Yeah, I love going to the movies by myself. 235 00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:55.960 I love the movie theater. 236 00:11:56.039 --> 00:11:56.879 So theater X. 237 00:11:57.399 --> 00:11:59.240 No, they don't have those anymore. 238 00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:01.679 Yeah they do, No they I know of one. 239 00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:04.519 But I so I read this stat a couple of 240 00:12:04.600 --> 00:12:08.320 years ago on the Wall four about happiness, and they 241 00:12:08.399 --> 00:12:11.879 asked Americans how happy they were, and it was it 242 00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:15.559 was like ten point one percent said we're happy. That's 243 00:12:15.759 --> 00:12:22.600 very low number. So they asked marines and rangers stationed 244 00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:26.679 in Afghanistan and said how happy are you? And it 245 00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:28.759 was like eleven point six? It was just a point 246 00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:31.320 or two more, but it's still significant. So it was like, 247 00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:33.639 what does that tell you? And it's like, the people 248 00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:35.840 that are in the worst place on planet Earth, the 249 00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:38.919 whole of the planet, that are getting shot at every 250 00:12:38.960 --> 00:12:42.000 single day or possibly being blown up, are happier than Americans. 251 00:12:42.039 --> 00:12:44.000 Why because when they get up in the morning, they 252 00:12:44.039 --> 00:12:50.120 got something to do. They have purpose, porpoise, purpose, porpose. 253 00:12:51.480 --> 00:12:54.879 I'll tell your dolphin story, Gus. 254 00:12:55.159 --> 00:12:56.519 Can you what, man? 255 00:12:56.960 --> 00:12:58.799 I'm thinking of a solution, but I don't. You've got 256 00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:02.559 a very interesting, compelling dolphin story you might want to show. 257 00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:04.919 Did you not hear what I said about the stats? 258 00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:07.240 It's an interesting thought that somebody you have to have 259 00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:08.120 purpose in life. 260 00:13:08.200 --> 00:13:11.320 It makes happiness happen.

Do you have throttle control? 370 00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:14.799 Those kind of things. I went there, did that for 371 00:18:14.839 --> 00:18:16.599 a couple of times, and then basically like I had 372 00:18:16.680 --> 00:18:20.359 no time there of being taught really and I got 373 00:18:20.359 --> 00:18:22.839 thrown to the wolves. It was my first tour January 374 00:18:22.839 --> 00:18:26.119 of twenty sixteen, driving a truck called Blue Thunder almost 375 00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:30.200 and yeah, I mean after that, I just kind of 376 00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:31.839 self taught. After that. I mean, they're going to teach 377 00:18:31.839 --> 00:18:34.920 you the basics steering the rear tires with the toggle switching. 378 00:18:35.839 --> 00:18:37.480 Okay, this is where I'm going. 379 00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:40.200 So the truck isn't a truck, it's set up to 380 00:18:40.279 --> 00:18:44.759 drive different. All the wheels turn right, so you can 381 00:18:44.799 --> 00:18:46.960 do stuff like popping the clutch and you can go 382 00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:48.960 whoo and turn it completely the other direction. 383 00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:50.640 Yeah, so there's no clutch. 384 00:18:50.759 --> 00:18:51.680 They're automatical. 385 00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:54.960 Yeah, it's like a semi automatic basically like a semi automatic. 386 00:18:54.640 --> 00:18:55.640 Foot Okay, you know what I mean. 387 00:18:55.759 --> 00:18:58.799 Okay, but basically the front steering runs off a steering 388 00:18:58.799 --> 00:19:03.400 wheel and then the rear steer has a little toggle switch. Yeah, 389 00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:05.720 basically when you turn it though. So if I want 390 00:19:05.720 --> 00:19:08.079 to turn left, I bump that toggle switch left. Yeah, 391 00:19:08.079 --> 00:19:10.319 when I left, let my hand off that toggle switch. 392 00:19:10.359 --> 00:19:12.680 The retires come back straight by themselves. Nice, so I 393 00:19:12.680 --> 00:19:14.440 don't have to worry about it, you know, right coming 394 00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:14.880 back straight. 395 00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:17.559 The pain in the ass to drive one of these things. Imagine, 396 00:19:17.599 --> 00:19:19.480 what have you ever had Have you had a big 397 00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:23.519 screw up where you just totally almost die total or 398 00:19:23.559 --> 00:19:26.119 almost I mean, because I know seriously you do backups 399 00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:29.000 vertical it did you ever screw up? Thought? 400 00:19:29.000 --> 00:19:29.079 Oh? 401 00:19:29.160 --> 00:19:31.880
