• 0:21
  Speaker 3: You can't spend it on yourself, can't spend it on yourself.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: I would try to get around it by giving it
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: to somebody I know and love, and then I'd say,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: take me, buy me some clothes, will you? But you know,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: what would you do with a million dollars? If you

• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Would want to do would need more than a million dollars.
• 0:55

• 0:58
  Speaker 2: think it is.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: So what I immediately thought of with this is our mayor
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Aaron Mendenhall. She posted this the other day of this
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: great new community that we have here in Salt Lake.
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: It's called Spark, So it's affordable housing.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: And in that building they have on site childcare, like
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: the first floor, So not only are you living in
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: affordable housing, but there's quality on site childcare.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: A million dollars isn't going to pay for that, but
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: I would. I would contribute to something like that.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Where people quality childcare. Where is that I saw it.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: It's around here somewhere I saw it. Yeah, I'm not
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: sure that Spark on the building.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a really cool they're beautiful apartment, and it's
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: it's right by tracks.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: I guess they're all affordable.
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's I would put it toward that.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: People are trying to weasel their way around it. Yeah,
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: i'd buy my parents' house and be left to me
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: in the will.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: There you go by friends fast food franchises so I
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: could eat at them for free. Hmm selfish there, But I.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Mean those are it's fine.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: I mean, you know, we didn't we didn't guide you
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: in any moral direction.
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: I'd spend it, you could do something nice.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd spend it on my brother's two little kids,
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: their future college, et cetera, died of cancer. Can I
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: get to the service in the Marines? There somebody else
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: those kids? There's a perfect example right there, there's line one.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: All right, let's see who is online one?
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah is Devon. Yeah at Devin, what would you do
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: with a million bucks? Well?
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: I would get my parents into a better home suitable
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: for their needs, their elderly, you know, like a Rambler
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: or something. And then I would get my mom the
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: best twenty four to seven Alzheimer's care around. She could
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: do that money.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it'd be nice.
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: Too, able to do that with that care is expensive.
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: That's exactly yep.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: All right, thank you, Devin.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Okay, you let's go to SID. Hello SID, Hi, guys.
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: So the money that I would give would be to
• 3:18
  Speaker 6: a veterinary clinic. So I don't do it full time anymore,
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: but I work for an emergency and critical care VET
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: and probably the hardest thing that I see is when
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: there's a surprise illness or injury and owners can't pay
• 3:35
  Speaker 6: for it. So it'd be nice to just be able to,
• 3:38
  Speaker 6: you know, offload a million dollars or a surprise injury or.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Illness, said what what do most people who get into
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: that situation? What what do they do? What? What? What
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: do most people do?
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: There's a couple of medical credit cards, but I always
• 3:57
  Speaker 6: warn people that they're highly predatory. Most of them offer
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: a like no h interest, but if you miss a payment,
• 4:08
  Speaker 6: they will back charge you for the right and months
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: that you were so.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: So do most people do that though they do the
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: credit card or do they just say or do they
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: just just say, I can't take care of this pet,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: You'll have to euthanize it.
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: So in the veterinary community, we try really hard not
• 4:29
  Speaker 6: to do that. And if you ask most people that
• 4:31
  Speaker 6: have been in the field for a long time, they
• 4:33
  Speaker 6: have several animals that have come from that situation where
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: it was something that was fixable and so they talked
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: to the owner about if it's okay if the clinic
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: takes on that particular pet. It's a very rare circumstance, luckily,
• 4:48
  Speaker 6: but we try really hard not to euthanize anything that's flexible.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Sorry, I didn't mean to turn this into that chat,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: but thank you. I'd like a big ben Woody. Well,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: we're back with the X pole eight seven seven. If
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: you had a million bucks. Couldn't you couldn't spend it
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: on yourself. You weren't allowed to spend it on yourself.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: What would you spend it on?
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: Let's see, let's go to h Jesse eight seven seven

• 5:24
  Speaker 1: good good and yourself?
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: I am doing excellent, Thank y'all good.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: I decided if I had a million dollars, I would
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: pay off as much school lunch Net as I possibly could. Yeah,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: that's that's a good suggestion. Mm hmmm, I don't remember.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: I like that, although I think that the government should
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: pay for that, Like I think your million dollars should
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: go towards I think that should be the government should.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: Take care of you.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: I completely agree.
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: I think I think lunch should be free for kids.
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: Speaking of your ex pole that things that must go
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: school lunch Net, you'd have free lunch.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Hey man, listen, If we're gonna give free lunch to
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: the kids, I think that there should be a work
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: requirement with that. Get a free launch work're doing homework.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: We put them to, uh, we put them to manual labor,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: is what I'm thinking. Thanks Jesse, thanks to earn it
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: no matter what. All right, we give every kid a
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: bootstrap and then let them.
• 6:25

• 6:50
  Speaker 7: Utah does not recognize it among our central benefits. I'm
• 6:53
  Speaker 7: about thirty states due, and so I would start a
• 6:57
  Speaker 7: program to lobby with the Hill and Employer Group because
• 7:01

  Speaker 4: Buy a politician.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: Sure, let's even without that stipulation. If I had a
