What Happened To Los Angeles? ft. The Fat Electrician & King Trout | Unsubscribe Podcast Clips 

Central Californian: Blame the costal guys.

King Trout! Califonian here, Sadly I do have to go to LA from time to time because I am an Avid LA Kings fan but, I wanted to inform you the fried chicken smell you’re smelling funny enough is the smell of somebody free-basing Heroine, it’s a distinct BBQ chicken type smell, THE MORE YOU KNOW. 🤙🏼

Native New Mexican here, and essentially it has the same problem as California: gorgeous places to be, terrible policies.

"birds with garbage" broke Nic 😂

This is about as good as Nick's rant on communism 🤣

Prior Kalifornian’s perspective; It’s the greatest state to look at in pictures and the absolute worst to live in. Crime, taxes, corruption, homelessness, drugs and finish it off with obscene cost of living. Leaving is the only option for the sane.

As far as places with Californians in California go, thank God for small towns like Temecula for having normal people there

Californian here, I remember when Newsom came to my HS to talk to Gov-Econ students, and even then we knew he was full of it. The man just gave an icky vibe off

Now you Texans know how us Utahans feel about Californians invading your state. We've been dealing with them coming here since the late 80's.

5:20 As a Californian, this is accurate. *THIS HOWEVER,* 5:26 is too accurate

I live in Vancouver, British Columbia, on the west coast of North America, and we have a homeless problem. It's not as big as LA, but it's significant and has been steadily growing for years. There are many theories about why this is happening, such as housing being too expensive or other provinces potentially redirecting their homeless population to BC. What actions can we take? I don't want to leave British Columbia; I enjoy living in Canada. However, if I have to leave, I'm unsure about what to do. By the way, I enjoy listening to your podcast. Keep up the great work

I went to Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington DC about 15 years ago. It shocked me how run down those cities were especially near big tourist destinations like the Liberty Bell, and Independence Hall. Or around Fort McHenry, but the worst was when I went to see the Battleship New Jersey next to the Philadelphia Aquarium in Trenton New Jersey. It didn’t even seem real. There is this nice park, and aquarium. Then across the street was a third world country. It literally looked like a zombie apocalypse struck in the 70-80’s and mother nature was reclaiming the dilapidated buildings, crumbling streets, and piles of trash that the wind had blown into 12ft drifts.

It's a myth that most homeless are just poor down on their luck brilliant go-getters. Most homeless are homeless for very good reasons. Unfortunately there's not normally a bureaucratic solution that will fix it.

Anyone who did not abandon their homes and walk out of California with what they could carry, will get what they get, and the world will not care.

I lived in San Diego from 2007 til Christmas 2013. Such an awesome place. Not many places in the world that you can surf in the morning, go snowboarding in the afternoon, and go party out in the desert at night. I started to realize how messed up it was when I went to try and buy a gun and the prices were outrageous, rounds were limited to 10 rounds and the guy handed me a questionnaire and I would have to wait 30 days to actually get my pistol, of course that is if someone in the government approves me getting a gun. I am originally from Italy and California was as bad if not worse when it comes to gun ownership, and they don't have a 2nd amendment in Italy. I started to realize how messed up it was when I registered my car and it was 4 times what it cost back east to register my car for a year; all the taxes I paid on food(the dumbest one being the recycling tax), on food ffs; oh and my house got broken into, they beat the shit outta my dog and stole everything, even the food(the little I could afford) out of my fridge. I moved back to Virginia and you couldn't pay me a million dollars to even visit California. Only states out there that i would live in are Arizona and Wyoming.

In the summertime in downtown LA, the smell from Skid Row intensifies so much, omg! It's like walking into a wall of piss and shit. The stench just slaps you in the face. 🤦‍♂️

Lived 52 years in LA. Trout has perfectly described the city. The weed thing is sort of new since it was largely decriminalized a few years back. Skid Row is kind of the worst place, but it's all pretty bad.

"La is a third world country" As a Californian myself, can agree

New Jersey is called the Garden State and yet has the stigma of being smelly. Go figure.

You can't help people who doesn't wanna helped

As a Californian, we feel the same way you do Trout 😢

"I start shaking a little bit" . . . withdrawals.

looking forward to watching the full podcast this afternoon!

As someone who was stationed in Southern California for 4 years, I have a difference of opinion. Sure there are some neat places to see and its interesting to see a desert climate and this goes for Arizona and New Mexico too as I had to drive through them to get back to God's Country. However, because of said desert climate, every plant and foliage is half green to yellow and brown, barely hanging on to life because it hardly rains there. Also, there is alot of empty space and baron wasteland. The last time I was there and they got a record break in rainfall, oh the foliage was almost as green as it wqs supposed to be singing with life and beauty. The only time you see the green is if it is regularly watered by the city or if you live in those nice houses where they have grass to water. California and I believe Arizona and New Mexico as well also have a water rationing problem and have hiked up water use cost because of it. You think it doesn't get hot in a desert climate like those states? I'll take my Southern humid heat over that any day. Sure, sometimes the humidity is low around the coastal area on average, but it gets hot regardless. You will sweat. California: overcrowded, overpriced, overhyped. Alot of people, not enough houses. You want a house with property where you don't want to be 6 feet from your neighbors? You are paying a mansion price tag. Rent on average is $2000 or more for a studio apartment. Homeless people run rampant using the toilet in front of people in places like LA. Streets are dirty and trashed, and alot of the roads are so poor it will cost you more tires. Daily occurence without fail crawling traffic on a 4 lane highway, the I-5, which is the main north and south highway. People drive like they are the only ones on the road and tailgate and never use their blinker and never let you over. Rated the worst state to drive in. You think they would get a clue having multiple wrecks daily on the road. Finding decent relationships like friends or dates is a shot in the abyss because they are shallow and care about partying and money. If you are a foreigner, you get handouts and treated better. If you are not Caucasian or African American decent, you are treated better in alot of cases and ways. Oh the list goes on and on. It was not like I was in America, but it was like being in another country. I didn't get to see alot of things like sea world, Lego land and Yosemite. However, that would not bother me a bit if I never go back. Objectively and Subjectively, it is the worst state in America that isn't part of America. There are prettier and better places out there. I promise there is no need to lose sleep over not seeing California. I rest my case. If you read all this, thank you for reading and I hope it was informative.

As someone who lives in California. I do not claim LA as THE Californication experience. Live in orange county and it's NO WHERE NEAR as bad as California. Doesn't help other states ship their homeless here.

As someone who lived in LA County up until recently, saying skid row is the pinnacle of Californian society is the most accurate shit ever. I’m so glad I’m out of that shithole of a state

LA is literally the Raider faction form Fallout

If Northern California could become its own state and all I’d move there so quickly

As a native Californian, we don’t claim Newsom, even when I politically lean left this year, I don’t support Newsom. You stay anywhere along the coastline that isn’t LA or SF, it’s beautiful, San Diego in particular is amazing

Central Floridian Here, I have nothing to add to this conversation

I just got back from California, and that bit abt LA is ACCURATE. Like outside of a few wealthy areas, LA is a craphole.

I escaped 10 years ago. Glad I did. All the guns, fish, and deer a guy could want.

Pretty much the whole I-5 corridor all the way to Blaine WA. Get 30-40 miles away from I-5 and people are more normal.

It’s called the Philly Fent Lean

A significant proportion of those homeless people are not from California. Just sayin.

Place needs evaporated really

Our brains get fried in the summer

I gotta go to work but I can’t wait to watch the whole episode

At least y'all didn't have to go to San Francisco ugh fucking traffic everywhere

Someone call Zorro!

my family calls those hobo nests!

You guys are in San Antonio which is a great place and I love but it's got a homeless problem too. Again awesome place but man I've seen some wild shit down there.

I gotta agreed, if we didn't have family in San Diego there is Nooooo reason to cross the mountains

I don´t like zombie movies but it sounds that casting would be a lot easier today compared the 2010s when they made most of them.

I was born and raised in LA I worked on skid row with the homeless for 2 years and I can confidently say that LA is the way it is because of people that weren't born and raised in LA every other state sends their societal rejects to LA

Dad was stationed at VBerg in 67-68.I was just a wee feller at the time but even so I remember how AB SO LUTE LY beautiful the country was.A hot day was 80 degrees F and practically no flying insects,so you could leave the windows open.Kinda like to go back but I'm sure I'd just be pissed off.So sad.

You couldn't pay me enough to live in California.

My personal favorite name for it is the Philly fold

As a californian i cant say hes wrong

In the words of HLC’s USA persona: “California, you are the pinnacle of the deterioration of society in this country”

My uncle found a homeless man sleeping in the back of his truck when he woke up in the morning to go to work (He's an hour drive away from LA).

There was so many homeless ive seen on the west coast Seattle LA San Francisco seen a couple in napa but nothing in Calistoga or st helena

Regardless of your politics, Soros happened that really made sure the decline was that extreme

DTLA born and raised, College at Humboldt State University, Stationed in San Diego in the End of My Navy Career, It gets alot better once you get past Mendocino and out of central California.

California is basically the whole country of India in one state.

I lived in LA during the 1990's It is no longer that place.

They call it nodding

Liberal Gov. And mindless complacency.

Fentanese yoga

I was stationed at Camp Pendleton for 5 years and always said that California would be amazing if it weren't for he Californians!

Lex Luthor had the right idea.

It’s called newsome

That's the thing about getting free shit. You don't appreciate it. You don't respect it and you trash it.

I lived a couple of blocks from skid row and have lived in LA for about 20 years its a shithole that whys i finally left, everything he said honestly is pretty tame but yea thats what you can expect only thing I like was how cheap and abundant the weed is

The flora is great. The fana really sucks!!!

does that awful stuff span across a large part of L.A or is it a small area.... i have been saving to go on holiday there... kinda thinking west Virginia or Utah would be better now.

No and no, the buildings were owned by Chinese developers. They abandoned the those projects. Yeah it is not the greatest place to work or live, but where the fuck is? I

The ginger (sorry I don't know his name) lagitamitly sounds like the 1st mate from the movie Down Pariscope. The little short guy with the black mustache that's always yelling.

Gavin Newsom sucks, and I sent him this clip

so i notice brandon isn't there is he at a Dollar Tree in Texas? is this what him and matt gaetz do for fun now? that woman is suing because he's stained her shirt with the white sticky stuff 3 times now

Native Californian, born and raised. You cannot possibly take a 10 minute drive down Skid Row and immediately blanket the whole state as a shit hole. There are good areas of Los Angeles, lots of good areas in San Diego where I’m from, good areas in the bay, etc. etc. Downtown Los Angeles is the worst place to take someone because it has always, and will always be a total shit hole.

Liberalism

The problem with living in paradise is that it makes you stop working for your own improvement and the betterment of your own situation. Human beings are not capable of living without struggle, which is why when things are good they begin to cause their own problems to complain about. Life didn't give us lemons. Humans largely created them through various early early cultivation ideas. This probably explains why the drama-infested, self-aggrandizing, mentally unhinged California is the leader of lemon production in the USA.

Isn’t the Arm Art kinda the human canvas of graffiti?

Communism is what happened to L.A.

Fffrreeeeee stuuuuffff

The Minorities did it.

Hey, Trout, as a guy with an honest-to-god learning disability, I give you an unlimited R-word pass. Continue to use it well.

Socialism be like:

California is is home to fort Irwin the worst duty’s station in the army. The weather is either 120 degrees or cold and windy. And the nearest nice town is 2 hours from post. The nearest town to the base is Barstow and it’s slightly better than LA because the crackheads aren’t as violent lol. California could fall of the the continental us tomorrow and nothing would make me happier

First one! ☝️

LA native born and raised. Lived here my entire life. For sure there are issues here, but this little rant 100% sounds like it's not entirely from an objective viewpoint. Sounds very skewed by other factors.

As a Californian, i can positively say that this dude has seen skid row and anything else described more times than I have. Never. Yeah, a few blocks in LA, that's 700 fuckin' miles from me IN California (Northern) has no affect on me. But apparently it affects A LOT of people who don't even live here. Where do people think a lot of these people come from? Because a lot of em aren't from Cali. Lol.....

Huston isn’t all of Texas. You know this, but still you think LA is all of California.

1st world is the U.S. and NATO. The 2nd world is the USSR and its allies. The 3rd world is everywhere else. Everything in the U.S. is the damn 1st world. With how worked up you get over communism apologists saying, “that’s not real communism”, you’d think accurately representing capitalism would be a priority 🤷‍♂️. I love it, I’ve benefited from it my whole life, F&@k communism! But this is it, America 🇺🇸 the shining city on a hill, capitalisms capital, the 1st world; both in your rural conservative paradise, and in downtown LA. Stop putting us on different sides.

Democrats.
