In the Field with Desi Lydic

Speaker 1 This is an iHeart Podcast.

Speaker 2 You're listening to Comedy Central.

Speaker 1 Yelp, the most popular crowdsourced review forum online and a vital resource when choosing which waxing place doesn't laugh so loudly. But can we trust everything we read on Yelp?

Speaker 1 One extremely Italian restaurant owner finds Yelp's business practices so devious, he's protesting.

Speaker 5 My name is Chef David Cerretini. I'm a chef owner at Botto Bistro, and I give 50% off a pizza if you give me a one-star on Yelp.

Speaker 1 Why would you want a one-star review? Sorry, let me ask you in terms you can understand. What's the matter with you?

Speaker 5 If you want to have a good rating on Yelp, you need to pay for advertising. And I decided to don't pay advertise.

Speaker 5 So, what they do, they manipulate your rating in order for you to give up and pay for advertising.

Speaker 1 According to Davide, when he refused to pay Yelp to advertise, he noticed dozens of five-star reviews disappearing from his Yelp page.

Speaker 5 To me, that is distortion. Manipulation.
Distortion. Yes, I'm Italian.
We invent distortion.

Speaker 1 Well, yeah, I mean, you're not just Italian. You're like cartoonishly Italian.

Speaker 4 I agree with you.

Speaker 1 How exactly did Yelp try to extort you? Walk me through first.

Speaker 5 Yes, absolutely. You open your business.
In a couple of weeks, you have your business placed in their forum. You start to have a good review.

Speaker 5 And then in three or four weeks, you start to receive phone calls. They call you every single day.
They're pushy. They don't give up.
They keep calling you.

Speaker 5 We were answering the phone, looking at the member, and we were just telling to go f themselves immediately.

Speaker 4 That's why I tell my mother-in-law.

Speaker 5 After a couple of days, you start to see the results of your bad decision. So immediately, your rating is changing.
Somehow, this good review, they're gone.

Speaker 1 Davide's claim that Yelp extorts businesses was a serious allegation. And he's not the only one with the Yelp grievance.

Speaker 1 In fact, Yelp gets accused of extortion so much that they have an entire page on their website dedicated to explaining how they don't extort businesses.

Speaker 1 So I went to Yelp's headquarters to meet with their spokesperson, but not just any spokesperson.

Speaker 6 My name's Ben Flanick.

Speaker 7 I am currently Yelp San Francisco's community manager.

Speaker 1 And?

Speaker 7 And I did some television a number of years ago.

Speaker 4 On?

Speaker 7 It was on The Bachelor.

Speaker 1 I was The Bachelor. That's right.
Forget about Yelp extorting people. I had to ask Season 16's Bachelor what really went down on that horseback ride with Lindsay or the time he totally.

Speaker 7 I would prefer that we probably keep this conversation about Yelp today, if that's cool with you.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, yes, absolutely. No, I am 100% a professional and I'm here to talk talk to you about Yelp.
I would never, you know, want to talk about something.

Speaker 1 Go, go, go, go, get out of here, go, clean it up, clean these up.

Speaker 7 I didn't arrange that. No, no, it's fine.
It's fine.

Speaker 1 Sorry, excuse me. What would you say to someone who says that Yelp extorts businesses?

Speaker 7 I would say that's simply not true.

Speaker 1 Great.

Speaker 7 I'm also not in sales. I don't, you know, I run the community side of things here.

Speaker 7 Yelp makes its money primarily through advertising. You don't have to advertise.
Reviews are shown just the same whether you're a paid advertiser or not.

Speaker 1 So businesses can control the order and reviews that come up, descriptions.

Speaker 7 Reviews are a bit different. We have

Speaker 7 this algorithm.

Speaker 7 It's called recommendation software. And unfortunately, the business owners get frustrated with the algorithm.

Speaker 7 Alongside that, you have sales reps that are calling them and they think that the two are correlated, but they're absolutely not. We don't extort businesses.

Speaker 5 Bullshit. You are going to work.
You are going to be arrested from these people. It's blackmailing, it's rocket, bring the money in to the family.

Speaker 5 And that's the Yelp mafia.

Speaker 1 Does it cause you pain being so Italian and seeing your noble tradition of mafia culture be portrayed by these Silicon Valley douchebags?

Speaker 4 It is.

Speaker 5 It's insulting. The Italian community got really mad, not because the attention of distortion, it's the way that it's been done.

Speaker 5 That that a little stupid guy called me from the Silicon Valley because he's manipulated that's humiliating for the Italian you should not at least do it the right way send couple of guys with a baseball bat doing a classic and give it the money nobody's saying anything but what if he was on the bachelor well you can gratulate to him but also tell him to go himself these people are protected by politics law and lawyers and we don't give a shit anymore it might be legal but it's not okay

Speaker 1 Choosing who to trust between these two guys was gonna be tough. Yelp's business practices are totally legal but Davide had a point.
Harassing businesses and adjusting reviews feels dishonest.

Speaker 1 Almost as dishonest as calling this Italian style pizza. In the end, I had to listen to my heart.

Speaker 5 It might be legal, but it's not okay.

Speaker 1 Just because it's legal doesn't make it right. I was gonna have to let Ben down easy.

Speaker 1 Ben, I spent a lot of time with Yelp today, and I think it's just that Yelp and businesses are somehow not trusting one another.

Speaker 1 It just feels like there are some things that Yelp is keeping from businesses. But I really hope that Yelp finds happiness.
I'm sure one day they'll make a business very happy.

Speaker 1 Thanks.

Speaker 1 Time. It flies when you're having fun, but it also killed Peepaw.

Speaker 1 Every March and November, we try to control it. Daylight saving time is about to begin.

Speaker 10 Remember, we fall back tomorrow night, set the clocks back, bring it forward, and I hate it.

Speaker 1 Back one hour.

Speaker 1 Why do we change our clocks? And does it do more harm than good?

Speaker 1 Well, as I found out, if you screw with time,

Speaker 13 who are you?

Speaker 1 It just might screw you back.

Speaker 1 Arizona. It's one of America's top states, alphabetically.
But more importantly, their clocks play by their own rules. Arizona has opted out of daylight saving time.

Speaker 1 They stick to standard time all year. So I'm here in Cactus Country to find out how these time bandits can even function living outside of normal time.

Speaker 1 How has living without daylight saving time completely messed up your life?

Speaker 8 I feel like everybody else is all messed up because I've never turned my clock back. I never have to worry about it.

Speaker 10 I guess it's like the Wild West.

Speaker 1 Does that explain your mustache?

Speaker 8 I don't know what explains this.

Speaker 1 I love the fact that I don't have to worry about changing the clocks. Don't you feel like you're missing out being an hour behind the rest of the country?

Speaker 6 No, that's alright. We'll catch up.

Speaker 1 You won't catch up. You're always an hour behind.
Oh.

Speaker 10 Yeah.

Speaker 6 I don't see it as living in the past. I only see it as living in the present.
It's their future and not my past because my past is then

Speaker 6 their past.

Speaker 1 I'm sorry, what? Arizonans seemed happy with their own time laws, not to mention their access to Primo Desert drugs.

Speaker 1 But if they were unaffected by not changing their clocks, why do the rest of us do it? I sat down with clock blocker Scott Yates, who's on a mission to permanently stop clock changing.

Speaker 8 I'm the leader of the lock the clock movement, trying to stop people from having to change the clocks twice a year.

Speaker 1 But isn't it a good thing to set the clocks forward an hour and gain that extra hour of sunlight?

Speaker 8 People in general like that extra hour of sunlight, but for some people it's really deadly.

Speaker 8 Traffic accidents go up, strokes, heart attacks, more people actually just die in the few days after the spring forward time change.

Speaker 1 Wow. I guess for some people time is up.

Speaker 1 Solid jokes aside, if this is literally killing people, there has to be a good argument for it.

Speaker 8 There really isn't any argument to change the clock twice a year.

Speaker 1 Well, no, there is.

Speaker 8 The farmers. No, the whole story about the farmers, it's the biggest PR con job ever.
The farmers have always been against changing the clocks for daylight saving time.

Speaker 8 And they've been like, hey, stop blaming us. We don't have anything to do with this.

Speaker 1 You'll blame the farmer trope. No, honey, I did not have sex with my yoga instructor.
It was the farmer.

Speaker 1 Who I had sex with.

Speaker 1 Why do we even have daylight savings time? Or is it daylights saving times?

Speaker 8 Daylight savings time.

Speaker 8 No S's. Daylight saving time.

Speaker 1 Got it. Daytime save light time.

Speaker 8 Well, it was first proposed here in the United States by a retailer that found that if there's more sunlight, people would have more time to shop.

Speaker 1 This all started from a retailer?

Speaker 8 Well, he came up with the name Daylight Saving Time, but it actually started during World War I. The Germans started doing it, and then the Brits and then the U.S.
followed suit after that.

Speaker 8 It was called wartime.

Speaker 1 Such a German thing to do do to make people lose an hour.

Speaker 8 After the war, we stopped doing it because everybody hated it. And then in the 60s, the golf industry became a really big industry.

Speaker 8 So golf lobbyists were able to convince politicians that we should have daylight saving time so that there's more time to play golf after work.

Speaker 1 Wait, the golf lobby?

Speaker 8 Yeah, that's right. They make hundreds of millions of dollars for every extra month that the country is in daylight saving time.

Speaker 8 And then the candy lobbyists went to Congress and said we should have daylight saving time extend into the first weekend of November. and that way on Halloween they sell more camping.

Speaker 1 All right, wartime golfers and now candymen are the reason behind DST. Where does that leave us now?

Speaker 8 Things are actually really improving. There's a bill that has both Republican and Democrat support to actually make the change to the law so that the states can go on permanent daylight saving time.

Speaker 1 So it's a bipartisan issue?

Speaker 8 It's totally bipartisan. Wow.

Speaker 13 I don't think I've ever heard that from anybody before.

Speaker 8 Well, the basic idea of time is really just an agreement. We all have to come together to decide when 10 a.m.
is, and that agreement shouldn't kill people.

Speaker 1 Wait, time is an agreement?

Speaker 1 What even is time?

Speaker 1 When is time?

Speaker 1 Who is time?

Speaker 1 Why is time?

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 4 Uh, can I go now?

Speaker 1 The deeper I traveled into daylight saving, the deeper I got lost in what time even was.

Speaker 6 Time is a construct, right?

Speaker 11 Time is it's now, it's

Speaker 11 before, it's later, later.

Speaker 6 I'm in their past, but it's my future.

Speaker 3 Future.

Speaker 1 And if some states change the clocks and Arizona doesn't, could space and time invert on themselves?

Speaker 13 Who are you?

Speaker 1 Better question is, when am I

Speaker 1 future me?

Speaker 1 Yeah, I'm you during daytime, save light time.

Speaker 13 Hold on a second.

Speaker 1 This is me in an hour? Yeah, this whole changing the clocks thing is really f up.

Speaker 1 God damn it. If we would just lock the clocks, this whole thing would never happen.

Speaker 1 Ah, yes. The McFly paradox.
I knew exactly what to ask me.

Speaker 1 You want a 69?

Speaker 12 Yeah, okay.

Speaker 1 Either America needs to lock the clocks, or I need to stop doing peyote on work trips

Speaker 1 Mars humanity's side piece the worse our relationship gets with Earth the more we lust after that cold unattainable hunk just out of reach Which is why everyone went wild for Mars One a private company who in 2012 offered four lucky earthlings a one-way ticket to Mars Mars One has selected its final hundred contenders to form a colony on the foreign planet.

Speaker 1 That is actually happening in life. People are being offered a one-way ticket to Mars.
Yet thousands still signed up and paid application fees for a chance to go to Mars forever. Who would do that?

Speaker 9 My name is Layla Zucker and I'm an emergency medicine physician.

Speaker 1 What would make someone want to take a one-way trip to Mars? You know, aside from just being a woman on this planet right now.

Speaker 9 It's been almost 50 years since we went onto the moon. It's time to go.

Speaker 1 So you're telling me you would choose space over your husband? I would.

Speaker 9 My husband is okay with that because if you love something you have to let it go.

Speaker 1 Are you sure you don't just need a little bit of space? Like I tell my husband that I've got book club once a week. There's no book club.

Speaker 12 I barely read.

Speaker 9 It's not really about that. We need to make humans a multi-planet species.

Speaker 1 Unfortunately for Layla and 99 other finalists, there's only one problem. Mars One now filing for bankruptcy.
Was Mars One ever a real thing at all?

Speaker 1 The more that I looked at it, I kind of felt like, hmm, this is like not a real thing at all. They didn't have any kind of real money.
They weren't working with SpaceX.

Speaker 1 Their idea was they make reality TV shows, but where do you get the money before that to pay for the scientists, the gear, everything else that goes into actually getting you there?

Speaker 1 You know what they should have done? They should have done a pyramid scheme. I had a very successful pyramid scheme going in college.
It was basically like herbal life, but with 100% cocaine.

Speaker 1 I would sell it. Then I had other people selling it.
I would take a cut of it.

Speaker 12 It's pretty great.

Speaker 1 That sounds like you were just selling drugs.

Speaker 1 What are you a cop? Like I told those prosecutors, I'm going to need a second opinion. So I turned to real-life astronaut Chris Hatfield.

Speaker 2 Mars One had no spaceships. They gave everybody the impression that you could just go buy a spaceship that could take you to Mars.
But those spaceships don't even exist.

Speaker 2 They still have to be invented. Mars One was a scam.
They built people out of a million dollars, and when they just went broke recently, they still owe somebody else another million euros.

Speaker 1 You don't mean a scam scam. You just mean they told the world that they had a thing, but they didn't actually have the thing, and they couldn't deliver on the thing.

Speaker 12 That's what scams are.

Speaker 1 What kind of magician can pull off an illusion this big? I had to find the man behind it all, Mars One CEO Boz Lansdorp. I didn't want him to be suspicious, so I started off slow.
Is Mars One a scam?

Speaker 15 Mars One is definitely not a scam, and I think that if you take a real good look at their website, you cannot be convinced otherwise.

Speaker 1 As everyone knows, the best way to check to see if something is a scam is to see if it has a website. And like any legitimate space venture, Mars One offers sweet merch and a chance to donate monthly.

Speaker 15 Don't forget that in 61, when Kennedy said we're going to the moon before the end of the decade, they basically had nothing.

Speaker 1 Okay, if President Kennedy and 400,000 people working for NASA could turn a dream into a moon landing, maybe Boz and his team could get us to Mars.

Speaker 1 How many people do you have on staff at your company?

Speaker 15 There's 10 people currently working on Mars 1.

Speaker 1 10 people?

Speaker 12 Yes.

Speaker 1 How many of the 10 are scientists?

Speaker 15 So there's three engineers currently involved in Mars One and the others are more on the storytelling part of the company.

Speaker 1 Seven of the ten are more involved in the storytelling process?

Speaker 12 Yes.

Speaker 1 So if I invest in Mars One, am I investing in a space program or a media story?

Speaker 15 Investors are really investing in a media company that's selling the story.

Speaker 1 So all this time, Mars One was nothing more than a sales pitch sold to SS News? How could the entire world be fooled by this one Dutchman?

Speaker 16 The media.

Speaker 1 Sorry, um, you said the media?

Speaker 14 Yeah.

Speaker 1 MIT was putting out papers about how Mars One's plans were gonna actually kill the people within 68 days of arriving because they would suffocate to death.

Speaker 1 But then you would turn on the news, you would see this kind of like softball coverage. What items would be on your bucket list? What do you need to check off before you go to Mars?

Speaker 1 These people are really going, everybody.

Speaker 11 There are are two things she will really miss about Earth, her husband of 22 years and her favorite food, hamburgers.

Speaker 2 The media perpetuated and magnified the lie.

Speaker 1 Ugh, yeah, media is the worst.

Speaker 1 The first step in becoming a truth-telling journalist? Informing Layla that she's been scammed.

Speaker 9 That doesn't make it a scam. In order to have a scam, you have to be fooling someone and you have to be stealing from them.

Speaker 9 And nobody has really paid paid anything other than the original application fee.

Speaker 1 So if you're not stealing and you're just fooling somebody,

Speaker 1 it's innocent.

Speaker 9 It's an innocent lie that makes life on earth more magical.

Speaker 1 Like Santa Claus or sister bunny. Basically, yes.
Or like when you tell your husband you only slept with his father once. You know, little lies that make people happier.

Speaker 9 We say it's only going to take 10 years and it's only going to take $6 million and we know those aren't true. But in order to pursue these dreams, sometimes we take small liberties.

Speaker 1 Everybody is allowed to dream but the media's job is not to report dreams it is to report the facts. Exactly.

Speaker 1 A journalist's job is to seek the truth and to stay sharp and the best way to stay sharp is with herbicane the only herbal supplement made of 100% cocaine. Herbicane.
Mmm, that feels good.

Speaker 1 Mars1 had a story to sell and like the customers of My Herbal Supplement, most of the media bought it without examining the product.

Speaker 1 That's how you end up in a world where Theranos gets the coverage that it did. It's how Fire Festival happens, and there's really big consequences for things like that happening.

Speaker 1 Maybe that explains Mars One.

Speaker 1 When you live on a planet where facts no longer matter and the media legitimizes something that was fundamentally empty from the beginning, it's no wonder people want to escape.

Speaker 1 But fighting for a world where truth counts is a mission I can believe in. Just tell me when we get there.

Speaker 1 Florida, God's waiting room. It's home to theme parks, the Everglades, your peepaw, and of course, Florida Man.
Police report before committing a sexual act on a tree, yelling he was a god.

Speaker 8 Was karate kicking those birds to attack two people.

Speaker 1 Every week there's a new headline out of Florida.

Speaker 1 Wild, shocking, unnecessarily sexual.

Speaker 15 Masturbating at a bus stop told police he was Captain Kirk.

Speaker 1 But have we ever stopped to ask the question, why?

Speaker 1 Something's happening to men in Florida, and it can't just be a coincidence.

Speaker 1 As a future Pulitzer-winning journalist, it's my responsibility to uncover the truth, to reveal what lies beneath the swamp, to answer the question, what makes a man?

Speaker 12 Florida man, Florida man.

Speaker 1 Florida man. Florida man.
Florida man. Florida man.
Florida man.

Speaker 1 First thing I did was some heavy back channeling, mostly on Craigslist and Facebook. I needed to locate some of these real-life Florida men.
First up was Robbie.

Speaker 1 Last July, he ran into a liquor store with a live alligator for some reason.

Speaker 15 Florida man Robbie Stratton decided to bring an alligator with him while making a beer run.

Speaker 6 Yeah, I definitely regret it.

Speaker 5 It'll stupid.

Speaker 1 Talk to me about the night that you became Florida Man.

Speaker 18 Can't really tell you much about that night. There's too much alcohol involved that night.

Speaker 1 Not just alcohol, though. It's a...
there's probably a deep-rooted conspiracy.

Speaker 18 No, it was alcohol.

Speaker 1 What was it about Florida that made you do what you did?

Speaker 12 It was hot, it was humid.

Speaker 1 The heat makes you do crazy things.

Speaker 18 The heat makes you do crazy things. Alcohol makes you do crazy things.

Speaker 1 But isn't there something that all Florida men share? There's something behind it.

Speaker 12 Mental health issues?

Speaker 12 No, that couldn't be it.

Speaker 1 And this wasn't the only man affected.

Speaker 13 He's been hit with charges after pictures in this video showing him handling an alligator, which he posted, were seen by law enforcement.

Speaker 19 A real name, Jordan Bedford, but I go by the alligator man.

Speaker 13 Okay.

Speaker 1 Um, alligator man, what's the common factor among all Florida men?

Speaker 19 We all different. Well, I'm I'm different from the rest because I do the wrong thing in the right way, if that makes sense.

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 19 No? See, you're not from Florida, so you don't understand my language, what I'm talking right now, but I do the wild things. Anything you think of, I'll probably do it.

Speaker 12 Catch, like I told you.

Speaker 19 anything. I catch gators.

Speaker 1 Anything.

Speaker 19 Anything. Well, not anything.

Speaker 19 But basically anything when it comes to the reptile animals. Mainly the alligators, though.
Wait, like here in Florida, you're not allowed to catch an alligator.

Speaker 19 I mean, I didn't know that before, but I know now. I just had a little fun, put them on a leash, and dance with the last one they seen.

Speaker 1 What kind of dancing did you do with the alligator?

Speaker 19 The alligator man dance. You gotta kick your feet, spell alligator in the sand as you're dancing, as you're going around, you spell an alligator and you end it with the stomp.

Speaker 19 The alligator man got a commercial too.

Speaker 19 They have a commercial? They got a commercial. He got a theme song.
Everybody seemed like, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. It's the alligator man.

Speaker 1 That is 100% the McDonald's jingle.

Speaker 19 Well, it's the alligator man's on now.

Speaker 1 I see what you're saying about doing the wrong thing in the right way and how it works.

Speaker 12 It worked.

Speaker 1 Where do you find alligators in Florida?

Speaker 19 If there's a lake, there's a gator. I promise you.
So that's everywhere. There's gators everywhere.

Speaker 13 These chairs are very hard to get up out of.

Speaker 1 She's gone. So many Florida men.
So many fing alligators. Surely there's a Florida man who's normal.

Speaker 20 Hi, Missy. I am Captain Silky Silvertips, and I hail out of the island called Marathon, down in the Florida Keys.

Speaker 13 Cool.

Speaker 1 And you're a

Speaker 15 pirate? Well, I'm a pirate most of the day.

Speaker 14 When I'm not, I'm a landscaper.

Speaker 1 What could a landscaper pirate possibly have done? A man dressed as a pirate is accused of shooting his gun on the seven mile bridge in South Florida.

Speaker 14 So I took out my flintlocks

Speaker 14 to shoot at the sun. Now mind you, there was no projectile.
You can put that, you know, simply gunpowder.

Speaker 1 Just put it away. Why do you defend what you did?

Speaker 14 Well, I defend my Second Amendment right.

Speaker 1 Your Second Amendment right to shoot a gun into the sun?

Speaker 13 Yeah, why not?

Speaker 1 How exactly did you become a Florida man?

Speaker 20 To become a Florida man, you must first be a Florida boy and experience the life that it gives you as a boy to hone your skills to be, in my case, a Florida pirate man.

Speaker 1 Have you always been a Florida man?

Speaker 14 Ah, no. Originally, I hailed from Chicago.

Speaker 1 Oh, so you're transplant.

Speaker 2 I was then.

Speaker 14 But since then, I've lived my entire life here in the Keys.

Speaker 1 What do you think is behind every Florida man?

Speaker 20 Must be the water that we're drinking down here to drive us to what we do.

Speaker 1 It's a water conspiracy.

Speaker 14 And women.

Speaker 12 Women. Yeah.

Speaker 20 They're the ones that drive you crazy.

Speaker 1 And while I was running away from these unusual men, I was heading towards some new ideas. There had to be a common thread.
What was I missing? There was something different about this state.

Speaker 1 So many Florida man stories filling the news. Did Florida reporters know something I didn't? I went to an undisclosed orange grove to meet a very casually dressed journalist to find out.

Speaker 1 What can you tell me about these Florida man stories? I mean, I have my own research, but you just give me yours just so we can compare notes.

Speaker 16 Yeah, I mean, they are true. People do weird things here in Florida, and it gets into the news.

Speaker 12 No shit.

Speaker 16 Yeah, a major factor is that we went from being the least populated southern state in 1940 to now being the third most populous state in the country. Sure.

Speaker 1 This nerd knew a lot about Florida, and while he mostly rambled, I was connecting the dots.

Speaker 16 He built tons of homes everywhere where there used to be just wilderness.

Speaker 19 There's a lake, there's a gator.

Speaker 16 You can get just about any kind of weapon you want here in Florida. This is me.
I'm 49th among the states in funding for mental health treatment.

Speaker 18 Mental health issues?

Speaker 16 Another big factor is Florida was the first state in the nation to pass this landmark law called the Sunshine Act that says that basically any government document is available for reporters to go in and see.

Speaker 16 Police reports, for instance, are all open for inspection by reporters.

Speaker 1 And that's when it hit me. The missing piece of the puzzle.

Speaker 16 By a guy named Emery.

Speaker 16 Shut up.

Speaker 1 Shut up. That's it.

Speaker 16 What's it?

Speaker 1 It's the Sunshine Act.

Speaker 4 Yeah?

Speaker 1 It's not what causes Florida Man, it's why we hear about Florida Man.

Speaker 16 Yeah, pretty much.

Speaker 1 I just figured it out all by myself. I'm a genius.

Speaker 1 Florida Man has been the butt of countless jokes, but maybe that's not fair. Well, this guy was pretty weird.

Speaker 1 The Sunshine Act makes it easier to discover Florida Man's stories, but I was just scratching the surface. We may not hear about them as much, but it turns out there are Florida men in every state.

Speaker 1 And while Florida will always be America's petri dish of batshit behavior, the truth is, there's a little Florida man in all of us.
