<v Speaker 1>Jerey, Katy and Josh six one hundred.
<v Speaker 2>Well we like to send you on your way. Well
<v Speaker 2>something something called pm I. It's three different stories from Jeremy,
<v Speaker 2>Katy and Josh here at mix. One's a positive, ones
<v Speaker 2>a minus, and one's just a little bit interesting.
<v Speaker 3>It's PMI. Who's got the P today?
<v Speaker 4>I got the P today Katie has the P.
<v Speaker 5>This is such a fascinating story about a couple who
<v Speaker 5>sold their house to live and work remote on cruise ships.
<v Speaker 4>They say it's cheaper than being homeowners.
<v Speaker 2>What wait a minute, Yes, they're living on a cruise ship. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>so full time.
<v Speaker 5>Katrina and Kevin Middleton say they have saved thousands by
<v Speaker 5>living at sea instead of on land. They sold their
<v Speaker 5>home and sense have lived and worked remotely from cruise ships.
<v Speaker 5>So they say it's the best decision they've could have
<v Speaker 5>made their happier. There was a little bit of a
<v Speaker 5>learning curve at the beginning because they're from overseas, right
<v Speaker 5>they've lived over in the UK before they start did
<v Speaker 5>all this, and they said the biggest hurdle they had
<v Speaker 5>to get over was they still had to work for
<v Speaker 5>UK time right like, so when they were working it
<v Speaker 5>still had to be during the time that it was
<v Speaker 5>in the UK, so that was the biggest thing that
<v Speaker 5>they had to deal with.
<v Speaker 4>Outside of that, they are love and life.
<v Speaker 5>They say that they get to take vacations pretty much
<v Speaker 5>every single day because they're docking at different places.
<v Speaker 1>It's completely saved them on insurance.
<v Speaker 5>That was the biggest thing because once they sold their
<v Speaker 5>home and their car, then they didn't have that big old.
<v Speaker 1>Insurance bill on top of it. So they have saved
<v Speaker 1>so much money.
<v Speaker 5>And there's doctors on board, there's everything on board you
<v Speaker 5>would need, and they get to go travel the world,
<v Speaker 5>new food each and every day.
<v Speaker 3>Sometimes they get to drive the ship.
<v Speaker 5>They make new friends all the time. They said like,
<v Speaker 5>this is the best thing they've ever done for their life.
<v Speaker 5>And I've always thought that it's such a neat idea
<v Speaker 5>and you're getting paid. You're getting paid, and anyone who
<v Speaker 5>wants to travel and has thought like, how could I
<v Speaker 5>ever travel the way I want because I have to
<v Speaker 5>work and I have to do this. Well, if your
<v Speaker 5>job is one that you could do remote and we
<v Speaker 5>found out not too long ago that there's a lot
<v Speaker 5>of jobs you could do remotely if yours is one
<v Speaker 5>of them, and this is something that intrigues you.
<v Speaker 1>It could save you money and make you happy.
<v Speaker 4>I loved it.
<v Speaker 1>I loved everything about it.
<v Speaker 3>So I wonder if it would get old though too.
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's like you have no new scenery for
<v Speaker 2>a lot of the time because you're just at sea
<v Speaker 2>and you're on the boat. Yeah, like if it would
<v Speaker 2>get boring and then you're maybe hitting the same stops constantly.
<v Speaker 2>So then at some point that's the thing.
<v Speaker 1>Is you go on different cruise ships, then there's.
<v Speaker 3>Different hop around.
<v Speaker 1>I get shit because you don't have anything.
<v Speaker 5>You got your suitcases, you sold all your belongings.
<v Speaker 1>You don't you don't have anything.
<v Speaker 5>I that in it itself is appealing to me to
<v Speaker 5>not have things.
<v Speaker 3>I love that idea.
<v Speaker 2>Buddy of mine is actually it's a different circumstance because
<v Speaker 2>he still has a house here, you know, but he's
<v Speaker 2>a comic on cause ships, so he goes in that.
<v Speaker 2>It's his full time job. Is he's on cruise ships
<v Speaker 2>for you know, three hundred days a year. Yeah, And
<v Speaker 2>you know, I went to lunch with him recently. He's like,
<v Speaker 2>it's fine. He's like, it gets it gets really old,
<v Speaker 2>He's like, and then people don't understand that. He's like,
<v Speaker 2>they're like, you got to be living the life. You're
<v Speaker 2>probably snorkeling and you're getting off on each stop and
<v Speaker 2>doing all the activities and no, no, no, He's like,
<v Speaker 2>well no, because he's like, I'm making money doing this
<v Speaker 2>on the cruise ship. I can't go then blow my
<v Speaker 2>paycheck at every report and do all the activities and stuff.
<v Speaker 2>He's like, I got to stay back and save my
<v Speaker 2>money because this is my job.
<v Speaker 3>So I don't get it's a little different.
<v Speaker 2>It is because he's working for he's working for the
<v Speaker 2>cruise line. But his thing was he's like, it gets old. Well, yeah,
<v Speaker 2>I can believe it or not.
<v Speaker 3>The tourists. He's like, you get sick of all the tourists.
<v Speaker 5>I would have to think his situation would be a
<v Speaker 5>lot like groundhog Day, where you're living the same day
<v Speaker 5>over and over. Like at least theirs is a little
<v Speaker 5>different than that, you know, like they can go on
<v Speaker 5>different cruise ships, they're not tied to one that he
<v Speaker 5>has to then give his same stand up routine every
<v Speaker 5>day to a different group of people.
<v Speaker 1>That would get yeah, I think, yeah.
<v Speaker 2>But then you'd be like another day making these goofy
<v Speaker 2>bunnies out of towels, another day a flamingo towel.
<v Speaker 5>I think it'd be at least fun to try for
<v Speaker 5>a year, someone like me who doesn't even own a
<v Speaker 5>home like I wouldn't you count?
<v Speaker 4>Do you know?
<v Speaker 3>Like kids holding you back?
<v Speaker 2>I would love to go do something like single hooking
<v Speaker 2>up with dudes in every report.
<v Speaker 1>See that's where I'm gonna find my man on a ship.
<v Speaker 1>That's my man. Even stand up routines.
<v Speaker 3>That's interesting. That's really interesting. H Josh, what's the minus?
<v Speaker 6>This is the weirdest thing I have read all day.
<v Speaker 6>An Austrian man known as King of the Freaks malt
<v Speaker 6>Dunes Are just set a Guinness World record by threading
<v Speaker 6>the most balloons through his nose and out his mouth.
<v Speaker 3>I was reading this.
<v Speaker 6>What even in spy anybody to do this? He said,
<v Speaker 6>Now he was safe. He did extensive research on what
<v Speaker 6>balloons would hold together the best, and he did coat
<v Speaker 6>them with a light oil to get them through the nose. Hoole.
<v Speaker 6>And I don't understand what caused him to do this,
<v Speaker 6>but he did set the rod. He did it ten times,
<v Speaker 6>threw his nose and out of his mouth in sixty seconds,
<v Speaker 6>So good on you, King of.
<v Speaker 2>The So so he pushed it in his nose and
<v Speaker 2>then pull it out and then pull it out his
<v Speaker 2>mouth ten times? Why not in sixty allergies? That's why
<v Speaker 2>it's like a pipe clean cleaning there, he's cleaning the mouth.
<v Speaker 2>That's how he stumbled upon this.
<v Speaker 3>Does he have to do each nostril? I would think?
<v Speaker 5>So?
<v Speaker 1>Does he then make a little giraffe out of that balloon?
<v Speaker 2>Like?
<v Speaker 1>How does it work?
<v Speaker 3>Can he do it with pasta? A scatty noodle?
<v Speaker 6>I think.
<v Speaker 3>Extly? But it's Pasta's all right. Let's wrap things up
<v Speaker 3>with the interesting.
<v Speaker 2>Grab your old aunt and your grandma, make sure that they
<v Speaker 2>are listening, because apparently the United States Postal Service is
<v Speaker 2>under financial crisis right now. They lost nine billion dollars
<v Speaker 2>last year, and since two thousand and seven, they've lost
<v Speaker 2>more than one hundred billion dollars.
<v Speaker 3>Ain't nobody mailing nothing right now?
<v Speaker 2>So the cost to mail a first class envelope a
<v Speaker 2>stamp seventy eight cents right now?
<v Speaker 3>Right?
<v Speaker 2>They want to bump that up to about ninety to
<v Speaker 2>ninety five cents.
<v Speaker 3>Why not just roll it up to a buck at
<v Speaker 3>this point?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Yeah, they want to raise prices to a dollar,
<v Speaker 2>mostly because you know, everything is costing more to deliver,
<v Speaker 2>especially to rural areas.
<v Speaker 3>You're talking about.
<v Speaker 2>Gas and maintenance and just getting people out there that far.
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, they're thinking about a dollar.
<v Speaker 2>And to couch this, they say, well, we're not as
<v Speaker 2>bad as France.
<v Speaker 3>In England, France.
<v Speaker 2>It's about three dollars to mail something and England two
<v Speaker 2>dollars and fifty cents.
<v Speaker 5>Okay, why is it free to get stuff from Amazon?
<v Speaker 5>Can Amazon deliver our mail?
<v Speaker 2>Which probably worked into the cost. Well, and if you're
<v Speaker 2>paying for Prime, that's you're paying for.
<v Speaker 3>Some of the shipping in there.
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, but they just like they've got it off.
<v Speaker 2>They just up the price of your product by a
<v Speaker 2>couple of bucks, and that's what they're throwing at shipping.
<v Speaker 2>But anyway, if you're looking to mail a letter pretty soon,
<v Speaker 2>it's just going to cost you a full dollar to
<v Speaker 2>send that off.
<v Speaker 3>Oh your grandma just clutched her pearls. Oh, it ain't show, Jammie,
<v Speaker 3>it ain't shows. I remember the last time I mail
<v Speaker 3>or something.
<v Speaker 1>I know you could just email it, you know, right,
