If saying that the Federal Reserve issues bonds, and that doing so and then selling them creates money instead of reducing it, and that every dollar of new money must be "backed by" bonds -- the last of which isn't so much a mistake as it is literal gibberish gobbledygook -- doesn't get acknowledged, then surely a comparatively incidental oversight like swapping Ohio for Idaho isn't gonna make the cut, sorry.

Nobody would have sex with you. You kind of need to have a baby to send one.

You can still totally mail baby chickens through the mail which is kind of neat as long as you ignore the part where they're shipped with extra chicks to act as padding/insurance/heaters during transit.

You deserve every bit of success you get in life bro lol. I can’t imagine the amount of work it takes to make these videos and be HILARIOUS at the same time. I wish I could find something I’m this good at lmao! God bless you!

Our town used to mail kids all the time. The postie was already going to everyones house and she had no problems giving you a ride if you asked nicely.

Could smell that brilliant.org ad even before clicking this video

3:28 "Grangeville to Lewiston, Ohio" i honestly dont know if that mistake was an intentional jab at Idaho getting confused with Ohio or a slip from mentioning Ohio moments earlier.

I really like that I've watched enough of your videos that I can smell the ending plug coming subconsciously, and am able to leave just in time before you segway into it. I hope this doesn't hurt your revenue or anything, love the vids.

I startef the vid and thought of Mailing May and then you mentioned it! It was one of my favourite books as a kid. I highly recommend it!

I had to pause, contemplate and THEN laugh when you referred to the great depression as "the big mood"

lol imagine opening your mailbox to see a 6 month old baby, and by 6 month old I dont mean the age

Funny you mentioned Sears, my house (1926) is a Sears kit home. I've actually found the exact blueprints to my house online, minus some additions in the 50s and 90s.

I know half as interesting is half as much information becuase half of it is quickly rattled off tangents to fill put the video but it actually makes it so much better.

0:48 “I’ve rarely ever had a postal worker poop on my head” the word “rarely” is bugging me, I have questions and I want answers.

"Honey, can you pick up the baby from the mail?"

From where are you getting all those stock videos?? Amazing💪🏼

brussel sprouts are delicious. you just have to roast them or fry them or grill them, or use a combination, with good amounts of oil, salt, and other seasonings. make sure you get a nice char on the outside. then they literally become a better version of broccoli, which are amazingly delicious

Very interesting, I would be interesting to learn how this got started, I suspect that the mailman in the first case likely knew the people involved and used the mailing part as an excuse to justify it. 1:14 Regarding the salary of the Postmaster General's salary, that is public information and in 2014 is was $82,360. Not bad; but, much lower than the President who according to Title 3 of the US Code, the US President "shall earn" a salary of $400,000, along with a $50,000 annual expense account, a $100,000 nontaxable travel account, and $19,000 for entertainment. Also, neither is the highest paid Federal employee (though the President probably gets the #2 spot) - that is Francis M. Tandarich, Human Resources Management at the Veterans Benefits Administration who is paid $712,205/year. See www.federalpay.org/employees/top-100 for a list of the top 100 highest paid federal workers. Note: This list has the caveat that the names of some federal employees are "withheld" from the list; so, there could be some that are paid even more.
