Less City The third. Prologue.

5:42

Once upon a time in a

5:44

magical land, doesn't the handsome prince

5:46

who was about to inherit the

5:49

throne of the vast kingdom of

5:51

Who pretend when he suddenly discovered

5:53

his financial situation wasn't exactly what

5:55

he thought. It was have you

5:57

mean there's no money left. I

6:00

was inheriting the thrown at a bunch of

6:02

money. Home. Yes, Mr. Prince

6:04

Marlowe as your Cp A, I

6:07

must inform you that your gold

6:09

room is there. There's. I

6:11

know nothing to inherit. Well.

6:13

This is a disappointment to be

6:16

show so give it to restrict

6:18

how much manager I am. Negative.

6:22

Eight hundred pieces of gold. I

6:24

have negative money. Like less than

6:26

zero money. How is that possible?

6:28

Well it turns out you owe

6:31

money all across this magical land.

6:33

You took out a loan for

6:35

magic beans that wasn't on wise

6:37

investment the most. Said you took

6:39

out a loan for that unicorn

6:42

drawn carriage, various swords. He really

6:44

like swords and looks like you

6:46

read up some medical did during

6:48

the plague. I also lost an

6:51

entire. Long them to have my

6:53

fingers. Bad play. Yeah, Bud played. but

6:55

you really are survived. Wow, Which is

6:57

what really matters yet. you have your

6:59

hills yet. Everything but your hospital bills

7:02

still need to be paid. Also, you're

7:04

way behind on the mortgage payments on

7:06

the castle. you'll have been. Or

7:10

proper smaller we toss your creditors. You

7:12

are very modern from our swords. And

7:14

may fall sick than the castle bathroom

7:16

and the wheel on your unicorn drawn

7:18

carriage way. I leave an interview pious.

7:20

The money you owe. Her own

7:23

ursus looking gone up. Your my accountant

7:25

Lenny what are my options here? We'll

7:27

seeing as how you are financially. Insolvent.

7:30

That means you can't pay. The money

7:32

you will. I believe you need to go on

7:34

a journey. A

7:37

journey to declare bankruptcy. Which.

7:42

Means enlisting the help of lawyers

7:44

to fight fearsome battles on land

7:46

and sea. than in court Traveling

7:48

through a buggy bureaucracy. That means,

7:50

like a missive. Laws and rules

7:53

and. Paperwork or that does sound

7:55

dangerous and perhaps boring. I'll have

7:57

to think about. I'm

8:00

gonna break it down with

8:02

a really sharp axis. Okay,

8:05

think on it. But don't

8:07

think too long. For now, let's eat out the

8:09

buck. At

8:15

night, the prince talked it over with

8:17

his wife, Princess Cecily, as they sat

8:19

at one of those long tables with

8:21

a ton of food eating big turkey

8:24

legs. Filing for bankruptcy,

8:26

I can't imagine anything more shameful. It

8:28

would bring embarrassment on the respectful name

8:31

of the kingdom of Purpertin. Oh,

8:34

then what should we do, my sweet? Well,

8:36

to be fair, we may have made some

8:39

financial decisions that didn't quite turn out the

8:41

way we'd hoped. Well,

8:43

it's mostly doctor bills from your

8:45

plague treatments. But yes, between that

8:47

and your swords and my jewels

8:50

and those magic beans, we're

8:52

out of money. You're a brave

8:54

knight, a wise and merciful ruler. Why

8:57

not show yourself some mercy and give

8:59

us a fresh financial start? We

9:02

have no future without some sort of

9:04

solution to our debt problems. Maybe

9:07

you're right, Cecily. You

9:09

know I'm right, my teddy bear. You've

9:12

no idea what I do without you

9:14

by my side. My love for

9:16

you burns brighter than a

9:18

blacksmith's flame, my dearest princess.

9:20

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Let's skip

9:22

over the mushy stuff, okay?

9:25

What's the matter? The guy's just being appreciative of his

9:27

wife. This is part of the story. Let's just

9:29

read it. Nah, nah, nah. You know

9:32

I don't like the mushy, kissy, lovey-dovey

9:34

type stuff. Let's move on. Okay, well,

9:36

you're sort of old to not want

9:38

to listen to the romance part of

9:40

any story, but whatever. We will

9:42

skip past it. Gazing

9:45

deep into his beloved's eyes, the prince

9:47

whispered, I suppose I have no

9:49

other choice. I'll set out on

9:51

my unicorn at dawn. Height

13:05

Me: He did he he he

13:08

did he did he think. It's

13:14

a case. Isn't quite sickening, says he

13:16

does. It

13:19

isn't going to be so that it

might not be as big as he

13:24

wanted and no one gets the whole

13:26

case and that a house and within

13:28

your benefits. It's almost a little disappointing

that no one will be paid in

a hundred gold coins to the blade

13:36

smith and term gold coins to post

13:40

to settle those deaths. In a

13:42

space he makes me so that forty

13:44

five of your coins, those your placements

13:46

and five point is that you're pushing

13:48

me to send. Everyone gets half of

13:50

what they're owed. He, even though you

13:53

owe the bleeds miss most, he can't

13:55

have it all. The point is to

13:57

get people back at least part of

13:59

with him. I'm going after all

14:01

that they leave me alone, right? Yes! That's

14:04

a cruel and complicated

15:12

maze of filing deadline

money, but also who still

23:01

have some sort of income

coming in ak a the

23:05

repayment. And

23:09

the prince's if he couldn't sit still

23:11

has filed for bankruptcy here. They would

23:13

be nothing for him to do that.

23:15

Go back to the Kingdom of Pooper.

23:17

Ten and utter failure. Arms

hours. The

23:35

Prince his patients to the test.

23:38

The only thing they save him

23:40

comfort was remembering the face of

23:42

his beloved princess. Oh how he

23:44

long to see her beautiful face

23:47

once again, this time living free

23:49

from the burden of yes. And

23:51

no no no Bridget. Well I

23:53

say earlier a not for the

23:55

romantic more see to see star.

23:57

Why it's we. Can we just. Back

24:00

to the action and adventure please!

24:02

Okay, okay, having successfully conquered all

24:05

the challenges one faces in these

24:07

kinds of fantasy stories, the prince

24:10

finally reached the fortress atop the

24:12

pile of paperwork where Legend had

24:14

is the guardian night and chapter

24:17

Thirteen had been keeping watch for

24:19

century. Or

24:21

provision overpay for were.

24:24

Are ready to fire truck river.

24:28

Park who goes months his

24:30

art prints marlowe of a

24:32

kingdom of proper term. So.

24:36

You're planning on staying with that name.

24:39

This. reason

24:41

for us would do have for me

24:44

my some be warned my own is

24:46

a weary of to centuries of going

24:48

to thirteen bankruptcy room. Or.

24:50

Eyes filled out the forms as honestly

24:52

as possible or just at all my

24:54

assets including snare yearly income of drinking

24:56

and Texas from a good citizens of

24:59

my kingdoms I'm prepared to go back

25:01

that if I deemed truly broke in

25:03

very eyes bleed the how to and

25:05

night Let me take a look. You

25:08

do understand, chapter Thirteen is a

25:11

little different from the other kinds

25:13

of bankruptcy, right? Or in what

25:15

way, But. We're in chapter

25:17

thirteen. You'll be more likely to hold

25:20

on to some of your assets like

25:22

your castle at my Swartz. Possibly.

25:25

Think of this type of bankruptcy

25:27

unless as a liquidation was a

25:29

very aggressive repayment plan to help

25:31

you move forward or this all

25:33

sounds perfect balance. It will come

25:35

with a challenge and what everyone

25:37

passes easily. You'll be able to

25:39

hold on to more of your

25:41

things, but you won't be free

25:44

of debt anytime soon and you

25:46

will make rigorous monthly payments. I

25:48

could live with that as long

25:50

as I can relieve myself of

25:52

even some of my cousins mortgage

25:54

debt, my medical debt, my student.

25:56

Loan debt? Sorry, your student

25:58

loan probably doesn't. What

26:00

a minute I don't meddle with. that's

26:03

just how me these are. Very well

26:05

then I will be free of all

26:07

my get except for my student loan

26:09

debt for my degree in Royal Read

26:11

Beings. He doesn't mind his entire and

26:14

sinking ship. To say a team is

26:16

right for you, you just need to

26:18

battle the zone their inner courtyard. Wow.

26:20

such a Ballard that lays out you

26:23

plan for how you repay all your

26:25

credit. It's it's. It's

26:28

you that you've never. It's. The

26:34

printing specific chance to prove to the good

26:36

citizens of Cooper to eat and he could

26:38

make things right in the kinda. And

26:41

ten Vince to my you to content of

26:43

repairmen weekly for the next five years. Sea.

26:46

Battle that dragons. he thought about

26:48

August either and sounds as he

26:50

faces young lights and out even

26:52

if it Mcnally. A ferocious sigh

26:54

of relief size and she was

26:56

grateful for the chance. To learn

26:58

to his instead and success in.

27:04

Epilogue. The Prince and

27:07

softer thirteen month journey together to

27:09

poop or ten. In a

27:11

unicorn drawn carriage while the chapter

27:13

thirty nine explained to the prince.

27:16

wow thanks for see laws was

27:18

so important for individual and forcing

27:20

them. Well

27:23

what did we learn from

27:25

all this request of the

27:27

bankruptcy exists to help like

27:29

you print. Smart people who

27:31

sometimes too bad decision making

27:33

but are often through just

27:35

bad luck. Couldn't live up

27:37

to the financial promises they

27:39

play was a plane was

27:41

a famine arranged pirates. The

27:43

point is it could happen

27:45

to anyone at the ability

27:47

to declare bankruptcy. To have

27:49

your deck forgiven can help

27:51

you move on. To get

27:54

back to a stronger financial breaks for

27:56

individual for businesses which can be better

27:58

for everyone. Need

28:01

my pin enough to the point it had

28:03

kicked over the hill and a lush green

28:05

there are two for ten. At

28:08

first sight of the carriage prefer suffering with

28:10

enraptured she could see her beloved prince trying

28:12

closer and she ran to meet him in

28:14

the valley. Oh how I

28:17

miss to my prince our most. Recently

28:19

I made was dangerous and

28:21

frustrating journey for us but

28:23

I promise I'll never be

28:25

away from home again. So

28:27

kiss me Since motto of

28:30

great see kiss. Whoa!

28:33

whoa I said no more She

28:35

28:37

and and Couples is off romance

28:40

more see John. Ryan,

28:42

What's your problem? You're a grown man you

28:44

can't seem to listen to like a combined

28:47

three sentences worth of romantic subplot in a

28:49

Fairytale for Kids. List: Jump to the

28:51

yeah, I want to know what happened

28:53

to the swords. Okay, did he get

28:55

the cheapest? Wards are not. Have

28:57

he fun! Making a final

28:59

appraisal of the Prince's riches, the

29:01

Guardian native chapter Thirteen nodded and

29:03

said with a grin. Are

29:06

we satisfied whole your creditors and

29:08

is not? Was you make your

29:10

payments on time to control them

29:12

to your songs. You.

29:15

Really? Meters? You have no idea how

29:17

much this means to me. That's

29:19

wonderful news. I have zero

29:22

dollars to my name and I'm walking. On Air.

29:24

I've never been so happy to be

29:26

flat. Broke. Not in

29:28

debt, just plain zero. When

29:31

I suppose I should be on my way. I

29:34

couldn't help but notice this package.

29:36

No causal bowl looks a little

29:39

loose. Your ride horses pusher Bacchus.

29:43

As the prince lists, the stone in

29:45

the was. A

29:48

secret compartment opened revealing a troll. a

29:50

treasure as far as the I could

29:52

see oceans of golden coins into was

29:54

the prince and princess had no idea

29:56

until this moment that says secrets in

29:58

have written even and. And

30:00

they stared upon it in. Ah

30:03

I guess this is Pam.

30:06

This. Is a little extra he

30:08

didn't sir my father forgot to

30:10

mention to me. I see you

30:12

do understand we may have to

30:14

update or appraisal of your assets.

30:18

Yes about that. Gym

30:21

we've maybe pretends that was never

30:23

saw these. These.

30:34

Welcome. Back to Million Bazillion in this episode.

30:36

We just finished reading an epic fantasy tail

30:38

and learned a lot about the different. Had

30:41

the bankruptcy out that's of budgeting to the

30:43

story it was. Great besides the most

30:45

see love parts but otherwise not

30:47

bad. And what have we learned from

30:49

this episode? Oh. Bankruptcy isn't

30:52

a get out of jail free card.

30:54

They can involve having assets like your

30:56

car or house or word collection taken

30:58

away. They can wreck your credit, making

31:00

it difficult to buy another car, house,

31:02

or sword collections. But for certain people

31:05

and businesses, bankruptcy can be a hard

31:07

but necessary choice Because they owe so

31:09

much money, they have no hope of

31:11

truly repaying it unless they get a

31:13

little help. It's a tool meant to

31:16

offer a financial fresh start. That's the

31:18

option of last resort that still comes

31:20

with a lot of consequences. Yeah.

31:22

Bankruptcy rules. Try to acknowledge that we

31:24

humans are flawed and mistakes happens, and

31:27

you should be able to come back

31:29

from those mistakes. Because whether it's in

31:31

the kingdom of Super Tense or here

31:33

in the real world, sometimes a little

31:35

forgiveness is necessary. Well.

31:38

I guess that's it. Look. We

31:40

made it through the whole episode, sitting here

31:43

reading a book in the library with nothing

31:45

crazy happening just like you also. Crossing

31:52

the library wall. Man I knew the

31:54

episode. and with a monster truck no matter how

31:57

hard I had tried to get us away from

31:59

it. Hey, sorry a grudge.
