Hey, welcome to the Happy Ramp Podcast.

I am Ted Cluck.

Joined as always by good friends, Barnabas Piper and Ronnie Martin,

and boys, I'm on a bit of a remote broadcast here today

in that I am calling in live from the villages

in a swamp just north of Orlando, Florida, man.

This is retirement living at its finest.

You know, build as a sort of, just sort of paradise to to retire to boys and I tell

you what it's been it's been an experience man it's very very kind of in

night shamelon the villages ask you know in that you have a lot of

people walking around sort of convincing themselves and convincing one

another that that this is as good as it gets. Big Key, are you feeling like if you do an early retirement,

this might be it for you?

Have you found it?

Have you found Paradise?

They'd be all kidding aside, there's a, there's a pervading kind of sadness here that I

really put my finger on man and I'm trying to I'm trying to kind of tease that

out you know but I haven't quite figured it out I think you know what's

interesting about the villages it's really it's kind of retirement for not super

creative people is it actually called the villages?

Yeah, it's actually called the villages.
