Clark speaks at just the right speed 👏
Not only that- people with hearing problems struggle to hear. Clark does speak at just the right speed. Some RUclips videos I need to read closed caption.
Love it that Christa still dances during the Clark Stinks music opening
I like the way you speak so you don't have to change for me!
The comment from Jennifer on squatting…bet the woman would feel differently if someone took her home.
Jennifer needs to have her house removed from her.
Jennifer is probably a Loser Squatter herself. If she is a homeowner then squatters need to go into her home and occupy it. Let’s see how quickly she changes her mind.
😂
Tennessee just came out with a squatter law also as Florida thank God for these red states to do the right thing
Look how long the States were ignoring the crisis of the squatters.
It has nothing to do with politics.
I don't like Red or Blue States.
We need new colors to represent the real people in the US.
Actually Clark dressing down especially on the subway in New York has a added benefit not bringing attention from a criminal element . If you give the appearance of no value than that element may avoid you .
That’s what I was thinking also!!
I just tried out 2X speed and found the program inaudible. Back to normal speed for me as I need to think and process as I listen.
1.5 is perfect
Clark rambles a lot saying same thing I know want to speed it up
I do 1.5 if I'm watching and 2.0 if I'm just listening try it
Clark's southern accent put people to sleep zzzzzz nighty night y'all.
Ignore the goofball that said you speak to slowly!!!
Wouldn't at least a partial solution for the gift card fraud problem be to always require activation upon payment and assign the pin code at activation rather than put it on the card?
My first two cars were Fords. My most recent two were Hondas. I prefer the Hondas because their repair rate has been much lower, almost non-existent tbh. All these have been ICEs, not EVs. I would like to own an EV, but I won't consider buying one until my Honda Civic quits, and I don't think that will happen any time soon.
Thank you Team Clark.
Clark speaks just right. He is who he is and his personality comes through fully because of it. That's why I like him; it's not just about the information. This current fashion to speak fast is not useful unless you can enunciate clearly every single word which almost no one can do. So stop it!
Some people are good at marriage, and some aren't. My marriage of three plus decades is a source of so much happiness. A person needs to know themselves and choose a partner carefully. Marriage counseling before and during is worthwhile. The writer is correct. It can be a source of misery if not carefully considered.
I’ve been married 40 years and have five grandchildren. If you prefer money to the joy of family, your soul is damaged, in my opinion.
I bought a gift card from Target 1st of Dec 2023 & my daughter. said there was no money.. I was able to show taget my receipt via Email & phone call & we got the 75$ back that was stolen. A win for us..Maybe Taget changed their policy in 2024? Thank you Clark for all you do..
Don’t shop at target please. This is not the mn based store I grew up up. Canceled my target card last year
Great show. You guys don't stink 😭
That's crazy that more gift card draining than drug use in the US..and a lot of people are on drugs here...lol.
By the way both ways are correct. Walks the walk or walks the talk can BOTH be used. I have used it both ways.
Squatting is a real, serious problem and its current manifestation is NEW. Jennifer is way off base, and it sounds more like some kind of ideological drivel rather than informed commentary. As far as squatting in the past, it refers to unused land or abandoned property, NOT currently occupants going out for a stroll and finding criminals trespassing. A person who unlawfully occupies a residence is a trespasser; a person overstaying a lease or claiming a legal right to stay beyond the terms of their agreement should not have anything to do with squatters' rights, but recent innovations in interpreting laws have led to these issues in a few states, leading to Florida and other states taking action to rectify this.
Good job, Clark. :) Been listening to you for 20+ years.
--An intellectual historian/professor
I'm convinced they read some of these Clark Stinks critiques simply to have the writer checked by others for being so utterly wrong. Obviously, Clark can't call them out on it most of the time, but to compare 2024 squatters to Native Americans from 200+ years ago is categorically absurd.
@@spbennett88 Well said.
I don’t give gifts cards because it requires no imagination or effort. I do however, love getting them.
Ha!💚
Where do you find $3 shirts friend!!!!????
And I love the sense of adventure you guys enjoy with your travel arrangements. I’m so jealous. 😊
St Vincent DePaul clearance rack. Everything is $1.49.
what is that buzz noise at the 24:39 mark?
What a miserable, annoying group of people that had their “Clark Stinks” read this week.
Thanks Mr. Howard & Team!!
🤦♂💚
Why ever buy a CD when you can often get US Treasuries with the same or better rates?
Also, interest on US Teasuries are state tax exempt and can easily be sold on the secondary market, often at a nice profit.
Statistics show that marriage contributes to longer life. If you spend your life with people who talk about divorce, you'll never be happy. Spend your time with people who believe in marriage and don't talk about divorce and you are much more likely to be happy. I just heard this concept, the other day, from my bride of 45 years.
BTW, I had my YT Enhancer set to 1.3x speed when I started listening today!
Always a pleasure. Thank you!
The problem with American cars is that in general, people don't take care of their cars, even with general maintenance. Toyota, Honda, etc. are generally more "idiot proof" and are built to the point that the tolerance for issues is higher. American cars are fine if you take care of them and pay attention to service intervals etc. but they seem to have a much lower tolerance for failure with certain parts. If you are lazy and don't pay attention to how your car is running or anything else, then get a Toyota or Honda. If you're a "car person" it doesn't matter what you drive since you'll more than likely be up on the maintenance and know when there are things you need to fix.
Clark, you are my hero!!!
Squatter law was used so the landowners don't abandoned their property
We definitely need to do more research on the squatter law history. 💚
What about electronically delivered gift cards?
Good question
I have to chime in on the car discussion. I drive a Volvo. I’ve been in a hell of an accident myself. I’ve had many friends and acquaintances killed at young ages in car accidents. I worked with TBI facility. There I worked with patients who survived car accidents but quality of life wasn’t as good as they’d like it to be. There I’ve seen family fortunes evaporate due to health care costs. My advice is buy the safest car you can buy. It may be the best investment you ever make. The IIHS does exist. Most cars ace the IIHS test. But IIHS only does so much. Volvo puts there cars through much better safety testing on there own then the IIHS does. From what I’ve read, when Ford owned Volvo, Ford and Volvo engineers were at constant odds as to just how safe a car needed to be. I say make as safe as you can. I’ll never buy a Ford knowing they are not making it as safe as possible. Toyota has safety/falsify safety records issues from time to time.
As for reliability, I think many people confuse longevity with reliability. They are not exactly the same thing. Volvo scores low in reliability but has a reputation for great longevity. I’m a car buyer rather than car lessor. So, I’ll take car longevity.
Also, Asin is a secret to Toyota’s longevity. However, other manufacturers are now just purchasing from Asin. So, over time this may improve their longevity as well.
Sorry for going on too long. 😮
Don’t just talk the talk, walk the walk. My understanding is don’t just talk, do it.
Kinda of like do as I say, not as I do.
Rob seems like a fun guy….
😂
Walk the Walk and Walk the Talk are both correct.
I speak slowly too. That is just the way I talk.
#BonusTerm - "grift card" - A "gift card" that's been drained by a "grifter" - a "small-time" crook. Yikes. The good news.. #TeamClarkRocks
💚 #bonusterm
I think EE paper savings bonds are similar to gift cards. I bet alot of EE paper bonds never get cashed. Similar to gift cards.
I live in Ocala Florida, Shell gas allows their stations to charge per gallon a fee for using their gift card. They have not appear interested in doing anything.
Clark smells from all those nasty highly processed costco hot dogs
Paul in Utah......ZIP IT! Most YT videos go far too fast to process well.
1.25 speed is all I can tolerate.
American cars suck. Cark speaks at the right speed, refreshing.
I understand the issue of filtering out Clark stinks but we as the audience could do a lot better on some of these lol.
Hi
👋
😂
Oh Rob, oh Rob. I am a happily married person for 27 years. It’s all in who you pick as a partner, and how you grow together.
An apology is a de facto admission of wrongdoing so, no, I wouldn't expect Verizon -- or any other company -- to apologize.
What a waste of content airing Rob's Stinks comment. Rob apparently is married, married to his money.
Exactly😂
YESSSSS!! Alex have only owned American as well and will never buy any other, Dodge girl here!!
“Talks the talk and walks walk.” Meaning it’s not just all words. The person does as they preach.
SOME REALLY RUDE PPL WRITING YOU!
Hi that’s my Clark Stinks on walk the talk… so to expand on my thought here… Talk is Cheap. It’s easy to talk a good walk but hard to walk that talk..so people who do what they say actually walk the talk not just talk the walk… Cheers!
So many of these questions and statements are highly ignorant. Rob hates marriage and values money more than anything in life. He obviously has no soul. What a sad way to live.
If Clark could just stop thanking everybody or sending condolences they can cut the program in a third and get things sped up
😲 When did genuine politeness and concern become too much?
Suggestions for Clark. Skip that same old interduction. Also Clark we know you don't accept ANY criticism without going to war with the commentators. All you are doing is basically repeating what's already been brought up by other media.
Then why are you even here?🤷🏻♀️
And the word is intro-duction NOT inter-duction. Hope you can accept that criticism 😆😄
RUclips has this neat option; you can fast forward whenever you want including during the intro if your time is that important.
Thats ok. Putin jails his critics. Look how successful he is.
