0:00 I told everybody I was like ████ unplug me if that ████ happens don't even wait 30 seconds I want to be here going hey but then like you can't you can't I'm like this but inside I'm like [Music] what do you guys what do you guys think of this place right here take a look this is Sardinia Italy that was like a lot of color correction in the photo hey wow okay jeez you don't think it's naturally like that you think they just turned up the saturation ah yeah dude so this is starting to show my dreams yeah you guys like it they are gonna pay you 15 grand to move here shut up

0:50 nope day one day Warners there I thought Italians were like Italy only get the ████ out but it costs like 30 000 a month to live there or what no it's not expensive at all the only there's there's a few catches we'll get to that there's um there's a there are places where they just need people you know like they just don't have people yeah they just don't have people like you can't build infrastructure you can't do goods and services there's just not enough they have a population is it directed is it directed towards like tech people or like you know services like you know what I mean sometimes they're they like when crypto was huge they wanted specific crypto people to move to different countries in order to help like bring economy to that land in that way I didn't know that I'm pretty sure it's not crypto people they want yeah I'm guessing so too but I'm just wondering like if so people are let me let me tell you uh let me tell you a little bit about what it takes uh if you're gonna accept this offer all right you uh you gotta move to one of the

1:41 towns in Sardinia that has a population of Less Than 3 000 people yeah so you got to go to the small that's like going to high school again Italian girls are hot so if I was single all day yeah yeah they were all probably all related to each other three thousand three thousand people dude yeah and then um so the 15 000 that you get you don't actually get it you have to put that entire total towards renovating the home you buy there that is an interesting cash I am suddenly off the table but keep talking all right and relation the third one is you gotta live there full time so this has to just be where you are like forever yeah I can understand they would do that or you can go on a vacation it probably means whatever the uh residential requirement is for like maybe like how many days out

2:31 of the Year true because to be a Nevada resident you had to be like 140 days or something like and if you do if you take this offer you have to register the place as your permanent residence within 18 months that's pretty that makes sense give up on Sardinia you know Sardinia failed you know certain cities don't make it it's like let's let's go somewhere how about that what is the thing about Sardinia you know what I mean like you know some cities like this is known for like phenomenal seafood or like all the ████ come here because it's just great for Instagram not with 3 000 people yeah that's where sardines come from that's why they were invented man but what would you do for work though Ken sardines people have three thousand people to sell to us with shopping remember there's like some of the whacker states were doing ████ like that too like Kansas or something they're like come over here really here it'll give you like 20 G's you want to

3:21 move over here I know we're whack but here's some money have you ever seen an incentive like that that was a good idea I've seen people like they sell houses where they're trying to give good incentives but not like that not like a whole thing like that they're paying you to hack kids in Japan they're paying you to have kids how much do they pay you oh I don't know don't we do that in California with the welfare system that's true if you know how to work the welfare system you guys know about the baby motels right Vapor motels like so like baby making motels oh so if you are a citizen of American citizen but you're Chinese they'll pay you to go move in a new community so they can fly in uh pregnant women so they can have their babies in America so they're paying people to live in certain communities these pregnant women walk up and down the street because you know when you walk it speeds

4:12 up the you know the baby process so they pay you know if you're a Chinese person you know who's a citizen it's easy to buy a home here and they buy the home cash and then they fly in dude we saw one of those homes we were looking to buy a house in the area there was that back room that had beds next to each other is that what that was yeah that's what the sounds that's what they said it was yeah yeah so that might be that's when they pay they'll pay you like hey if you're they'll run ads in China you know like if you have family members that live in America and they'll buy you the house they'll buy you the house they'll want you to live there full time like it's pretty much a lot of those rules and they'll send all these pregnant ladies those are not just one they send like herds of them and then all you're doing is just servicing them by making sure that food make sure you know they need a ride to the hospital you know so because if they're if their kids are born here they're citizens to get way better how do you get in contact

5:03 with these people Realtors there's a lot of rules a lot of Chinese Realtors everybody wants to come to America damn and they talk so ████ on America but then they want to come to America that's the commercial for America dude I love that everyone wants to come to America except the Scandinavians they like it out there better I think they're better off yeah no one no one's interested in this offer you lost me I put the 15 grand into the house here's one thing that's cool about it um but you could get new tile though just at least into that sentence they got good time okay they have the world's highest rate of inhabitants that are 100 plus years old okay you know that is amazing it's a Blue Zone it's a blues maybe this offer will be available when we're like 60 though you know what I mean I think Italy in general has like people more

5:53 than Okinawa no that's a Blue Zone too there's a few blue zones all over the world that has a lot of centennials because I thought miso soup was like the key to life but I guess sardines are sardines are man what's a blue Zone a blue zone is a concentrated area that has a lot of centennials oh so like they're they study that area and they're like what is it about their lifestyle and then they came out with a few factors of long life it's Community um diet you know activity physical activity activity things like that I guess in Italy with all that carbs wow I guess it's good carbs would you even want to be 100 years old if I love my life yeah but I like think about 90 to 100 those 10 years how s█████ well 85 82 I think yeah like by
