- 0:03What day is it? What day is it?
- 0:05Thursday. Happy Thursday morning,
- 0:08everybody from a boat on a channel in Venice.
- 0:15What do you think it is? John did pretty wild though.
- 0:17We're heading to morale this morning.
- 0:19We're going to do a glass factory.
- 0:22But uh, met some wonderful people from Korea.
- 0:26Very nice lady. And they're big baseball fans.
- 0:31Yeah. Big, big baseball fans.
- 0:35I told them that the Yankees were the greatest and the
- 0:38Cardinals were second best. Yeah.
- 0:40So look at this. Would you everybody.
- 0:44Yeah. So we have walked.
- 0:50I was so tired. You know, they say travelling is
- 0:53not for the week, and that's true.
- 0:55So I took into, I went to bed at like 10:30 last night, woke up
- 1:02at woke up at 9:30. So 1010 1/2 hours of sleep.
- 1:16Wonderful town. So, you know, some people say,
- 1:19well, not a lot to do in Venice. That's not true.
- 1:22You're not vacationing, right? The great thing about Venice is
- 1:26how the city was built. You know, what was it, 4420AD,
- 1:33The Roman Empire like destroyed a lot of cities.
- 1:38This is your history lesson by the way.
- 1:40In 420 AD, the Roman Empire destroyed a lot of cities and
- 1:45all these people were fleeing because the cities were
- 1:49destroyed. They came here, the land was
- 1:51junk, but these people are crazy.
- 1:54So they went to Croatia, 4 hours away and got all these big
- 1:59Timbers, like wood, big long poles and drove thousands of
- 2:05them in the ground so close to each other that the poles were,
- 2:10you know, the poles were pushing water away from them.
- 2:13Then the poles were sticking up out of the water.
- 2:16They cut the tops off. Then they put, you know, I was
- 2:18wrong about that by the way. I said it was wood.
- 2:21If you watch that video again that I put them on the Facebook.
- 2:25Then poles were sticking up out of the water.
- 2:27So then they cut the poles off even and put like granite on top
- 2:32of it. So these houses are sitting on
- 2:34granite still to this day. This whole place is sitting on
- 2:37top water. There's no basements, dummies.
- 2:42I saw somebody say, well, what about the basements?
- 2:45I'm like, let's be somebody from Jefferson County.
- 2:48Look at this. So anyway, basically Venice was
- 2:54started because a group of people were extremely scared
- 2:57from the Roman Empire. This is the 1000 years old, 1000
- 3:01years old, America's 225 years old.
- 3:09So tomorrow we are going to Germany.
- 3:15Where are we going in Germany, John?
- 3:17Yeah, Berlin going to Berlin. And we're going to Checkpoint
- 3:20Charlie where? Well, East and West Germany, you
- 3:26know, and then we're going to see that spot where Reagan said
- 3:29Gorbachev, tear down that wall. So Germany then we're going to
- 3:36take when we're done there, where else?
- 3:37What else we going to see? I don't know.
- 3:39Maybe there's some suggestions. Yeah.
- 3:42Respond right here. We're going to Berlin, right?
- 3:46You said Berlin. Yeah.
- 3:47Berlin, Germany. Graffiti.
- 3:48Maybe see some castles on the right now.
- 3:50Oh, yeah. Let's do that.
- 3:51Graffiti. Yes, we'll see some.
- 3:55I wanted to get that in. I'm shocked how much graffiti
- 3:59there is in Europe. I mean, I don't know how these
- 4:01kids get away with it. They, they take, you think we're
- 4:04bad downtown in the cities, they spray paint everything.
- 4:10I think graffiti started in Europe.
- 4:12It was, it was sad. As we were going up the steps in
- 4:17the Saint Peter's Church, Saint Peter's Basilica, we were going
- 4:21to the top of the Dome. Graffiti there.
- 4:24I'd bust their ass. So we found us a little look at
- 4:32that. Yeah.
- 4:33Oh, they're on a. They're on a Oh my God, look at
- 4:36that. A casket.
- 4:38Holy moly, that's insane. It's a Venetian hearse.
- 4:42What is that? It's a Venetian hearse.
- 4:45Well, you're looking live. You're looking live Race fans.
- 4:52This is unbelievable. So anyway I wanted to get back
- 4:56to something. When Kim and I went to Calgary
- 4:59the lady said vacationing is not for the week.
- 5:03There's a lot to it. I told I told John last night
- 5:06started porn and John said let's walk around the block. 2 1/2
- 5:11hours later we walked 2 1/2 hours around Venice and oh with
- 5:16about a half a mile ago I said John my fun meter is pegged.
- 5:23I hadn't had enough. It was raining.
- 5:25You know what, though? This rain's kind of Ant.
- 5:28I don't mind the rain at all. It's just perfect.
- 5:30Actually, it's been awesome. All right, everybody, I guess
- 5:36that's it. One last shot.
- 5:38Here it is. So boggles the mind that this
- 5:48city is built on wooden poles. It real.
- 5:52Look, there, there's there's the bottom of the houses.
- 5:54Look, isn't that nuts? All right, we're going.
