Oh

Ladies and gentlemen, can I please have your attention?

Ladies and gentlemen, thank you, Jenga!

Ladies and gentlemen, this is Jonah Goldberg, host of the Remdened Contents, brought you by the Dispatch and Dispatch Media.

So we said that the first Friday of every month was going to be the drive time thing of a mob, and then because I'm

doing what social scientists call really stupid, I completely forgotten that we were also talking about changing the schedule for the group Dispatch podcast to Friday mornings, and the timing just of doing a drive time and then doing the Dispatch pod just made no sense.

We're doing this at drive time because we're nothing if not based on what we're doing. We're doing it in the evening, drive time, so the evening, the rush hour on Thursday.

So if we will try to stay away from anything, two news dependent in the case that it feels too stale, but that shouldn't be too much of a problem.

And so returning as per usual, are Ryan Brown of the Dispatch and that guy Denton guy who is my RA at the American Enterprise Institute. Hello guy.

Hello, Jenna. Thank you for thank you for indulging me. It seems like that's the defining feature of our relationship.

And after that visa process, that's how it's characterized by.

And so just so I can catch up on the the domicile thing. Are you guys still roommates?

Guy, technically, actually, I'm Siro, I had a whole lot, so not really. Yeah, but no guy, you did find housing, correct?

I did. I did.

And I'd like to shout out. Is it a Viking range refrigerator box or what?

As always, Jonah, the emotional support is greatly appreciated, but no, it is an actual apartment that someone in the office is someone in the office was looking for a sub lease. I know this is riveting material for all of the people listening.

And that was actually a point people may find interesting, but we were talking about behind the scenes not too long ago and Charlie Cook came on one of the more horrifying aspects of immigration and God knows very many of them is that you're when you tried when you moved to this country and tried to set up a bank account and over all all of your finances, your credit score and credit.

But the history does not transfer. There's no way to get it to transfer or to get transfer to parents or relations or anything like that. So in professional terms, your screwed and you have to start from scratch, which wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing if it wasn't the case that every landlord and car dealer and phone company wants to see a credit score to do business with you to know that you're stressed with.

So that's a delightful hurdle to navigate. I really don't know how a lot of people would be immigrate, manage it because I found so many hurdles, even after coming over in recent weeks for the just inexpressibly irritating, but things have I have a bank account and everything now. So things are all looking gym, Dandy is the Americans would say you would just think like as capitalism is friggin awesome.

That somebody would figure out a way to monetize this problem because presumably, you know, I mean, maybe you'd have to pay in chickens or something, but there are probably a good number of immigrants that would pay some lawyer or consultant a certain amount of money to solve this problem for them.

And yet, like, I mean, Charlie told me about this problem years ago and the fact that it's still a problem and there's no like private sector solution to it, I think is kind of fascinating or at least weird.

No, but well, where the weirdest thing and something that is like out of like something out of Terry Gilliam's Brazil, it's so absurd.
