Chapter 1: What are the implications of publicly financed stadiums?
like gator jerky yeah you parked at the gas station i bought a manatee skin belt there it's pretty amazing um we parked at the gas station you didn't get towed no everybody was doing it everybody was just pulling over wherever they could at the at the cigarette trailer or whatever and then and then walking cigarettes are really cheap over there guys if you need cigarettes in 2025 still like go buy it wholesale it gives you that sexy south park voice i've noticed um so so we so
We finally get to the edge of the parking lot, and we look up, and at those tall lights, there's what I can only describe as flying cats, like these giant. We didn't know what they were, but we're like, what the hell is that up there? These giant insects with wings flying. They were palmetto bugs, but they were like the size of my head. And then we look down,
and there's piles of dead palmetto bugs all over the parking lot. So imagine, we're all in this weird single file kind of line in the Everglades and all of a sudden we disperse because everybody's trying to avoid these piles of palmetto bugs. This was like out of Jurassic Park, this play. It was unbelievable. That is a great story.
And we all just like, everybody just, you imagine the shot overhead. We all just suddenly like disperse and people going left and right and just trying to avoid. But I've never seen, and everybody's looking up too because we're scared that these things are dying and then falling. It was like f***ing locusts out of the sky. I don't know.
I love Mikusuki, guys. If you haven't been there, go support Mikusuki.

Chapter 8: How do local events reflect Miami's unique culture?
Yeah, it's a certain class. of gaming, it's like class, right, that you can't, the machines have to be programmed to play against each other rather than the house. It's very complicated, but we're just walking down this line of people, and my buddy Dave, I'll never forget this, because we're walking next to the swamp. There's a road to the left, and there is just Everglades. Alligators. Sawgrass.
So Dave goes, as we're just walking along, there's like women and children. There's this line of people trying to walk their way to this. Yes, walk their way to this casino. Yeah, women and children going to the Tyson. Pure degeneracy. And so all of a sudden, Dave, brushing next to the Everglades, goes, oh shit! And throws himself into the bushes. What?
As if he had gotten pulled in there by some swamp creature. And this woman goes... And I'm like, and we're all, and I didn't know what he was gonna do. I was like, oh shit. And then Dave just like jumps out like, just kidding. This woman was sobbing. This child was like gonna run out into the street and get hit by, it was pretty funny. Then we. Pretty funny. Then it was pretty funny.
Go Dave, bro.
But then we get, long story even longer, we finally cross the street. Because we had like parked by the gas station. Okay. That's in like the south.
