Slandering a Greek Cat

- Goodbye Micronesia, hello Mediterranean.
The next few episodes are set in Crete, Greece - an island absolutely littered in stray cats. And so we thought a good way to cleanse the new season palate would be a very stupid episode about the fickleness of fame, and all the cats we ignore.
Long live five star Naomi: maps.app.goo.gl/nv3MTVqSTwTeB...

Oh and please leave Naomi five stars:

Thank you for this lovely video!
Mrs Inky sez "Manoliaos is an enemy cat, fight, fight, hiss, hiss...
Naomi is also an enemy cat, hiss, fight, hiss, hiss...."
[English translation provided by me.]
She even hits her mark, and knows her lines. That's a 6 star cat.
She plays her role like no problem.
The star rating system, invented to rate establishments for British people doing a tour of old Europe, originally only went up to 3 stars.
@@korakysstars diamonds not in a million years do I trust peoples reviews of food or drink, why you ask? Because 40+yrs in rest/hosp industry! Retired bartender, good cook myself-hey I’m gramma age-imma old fart about to turn 69 on the 16th teehee 🤭 Y’all all have differences of opinion, I live to serve, it’s in my blood now. Not ONCE in 3 yrs has a guest eaten a certain dish due to some ‘special’ diet😵💫🥴 none of this only a spoonful of that🙄! See why!?? I prepare what I love eat it or not 😂 turning down a grammas food HA! Love your kitty Naomi so cute! Lost my precious‘fuzz face’ of 16 yrs 😢 havnt any at present which I’d love to remedy❤️ thank you for feeding ALL THE 5 stars everywhere you went, if you’re wife is anything like me! How was your vacay? Left early, ran out of money feeding the locals…😂😂😂🙏🏻
Rare earth has graduated from Getting people to make some rock the highest rated tourist attraction on an island to making some random cat the highest rated tourist attraction on some other island.
Pu O Hiro: Check
Bugibba Temple: Check
Naomi: Check
The world is ours
If you’re in Hong Kong, and want another rock, frog rock on peng chau island is very frog like
All cats are five star cats.
I have news that you might find depresiva
There are definitely 1 star cats.
Of course they are! Cats know they're 5 stars, it's the dumb humans that don't always recognize true greatness.
I adopted a...two star cat (I'll be nice for the sake of her kittens). Hissed and lashed out at all people no matter how nice they were to her. Actually got to talk to the family she wandered away from before she found us and they flat out said we could keep her and didn't want her back. I was a sweet summer child in my happiness over that. She was only friendly when having kittens and all those kittens were complete sweethearts. I have no clue why that cat was so mean to everyone who tried to be nice to her. She eventually ditched us to harass some other family, but am appreciative of the kittens she brought into our lives.
I once met a cat in the Phillipines who gave me a sense of evil whenever I looked at her.
I could say that it's because she killed all but 1 out of the 1st litter of kittens that she had, but really, she just reminds me of Damian from The Omen.
Oddly enough, the lone survivor kitten grew up to be a sweet, adorable cat that often times more resembles an owl, and I am glad that she was able to break the cycle of violence and hatred that her mother couldn't.
First mention of Romania in a Rare Earth video I see. And it's someone rating a cat 3 stars. Goddammit.
For shame!
There are worse things to be remembered for.
shocked to hear it tho 😆
Parking yourself next to a shop selling cat food is a big brain move.
Me:
“Here honey let’s check google maps to find a place for lunch”
Results:

You are now officially a cat channel. Congrats.
We went from nukes, bad pirates, cheese islands...to cats. 😁
*ahem* and raccoon channel
@@redensign24 Of course! How could I forget
Upgrades people! Upgrades!!
That's fine. We need a break now and again.
It's cats all the way down ...
The days of Manolios are over, he's just a 4.8-Star-Cat. All hail Naomi, the TRUE 5-Star-Cat!
5:35 Love the way you changed your closing words! This is why I always pause the video to read everything.
I love how you can take a simple thing like a cat getting a 4.8 out of 5 stars on Google Reviews and turn it into something genuinely thoughtful.
Came for the cats, stayed for the philosophy. Looking forward to more dispatches from Crete.
Sir this is fake in fact Manolios is currently at 4.9 out of 5 stars.
It’s brilliant! 😆😆😆
You take that back right now
YOU SLANDERER. MANOLIOS PUT PUT HIMSELF LIKE A STAR OUT THERE AND YOU MISTREAT HIM LIKE THAT?! MONSTER
YOU ARE BUT A PROP BENEATH A ROTTED KINGDOM
@@RareEarthSeries Their Everywhere Today Evan, Unfortunately!
Just gave 5 stars to Naomi on Google.
I did as well, but later got an email: "Content that violates our policy on fake engagement isn't allowed. Fake engagement includes incentivized content, content intended to manipulate a place's rating, and other content that doesn't represent a genuine experience. Your content was removed by our automated moderation system."
@@phasm42 Please stick to serious cat reviews.
Think you might need to have a conversation with your editor... The whole time you spoke about a sub 5 star cat, but even though I watched the entire video... I didn't see a single cat that doesn't deserve 5 stars!
Poor Manolios
About 18 months ago, my mother & I had the pleasure of spending 10 days in Plomari.
My mother was very much a cat person, and the town was _full_ of cats, so I too bought cat food and fed a whole lot of cats while we were there!
My mother passed away a couple months ago, but seeing your video, with all the adorable Greek cats and the wonderful Greek environment reminded me of that wonderful last vacation that we had together.
Thank you!
Thank you for making a beautiful black cat a 5 star cat. Sadly, I won't be able to visit her myself and give her a review. But as of now I have 2 black cats, one who deserves a 5 star review. She's elderly, not as beautiful as she was in her youth, but she is about as perfect a feral inside cat can be. She IS my second black feral inside cat. I don't know who much longer I will have her since she is too feral to take to the vet. Her brother, who was not black, passed in 2018, he was so sick I could pick him up and take him to the vet to be PTS. Her sister, who also wasn't black, I found passed away in 2021. Picking her up to take to be taken care of was the first time I had ever touched her. I said: No more inside feral cats, then one walked into my house last year, but he isn't as feral as most of them have been...
Cats are like that.
It warms my heart to hear how you care for these kitties. People like you make this world a better for both cats and humans. 💜🐈⬛
@@erinmac4750 thank you, oh, and I currently have 8 cats - and 7 in the feral colony I feed, including the mother, sister, aunt and 2 younger half siblings, plus a couple of orange cats who have recently shown up. I got the mother spayed, just too late to prevent her having her last litter, got his sister also spayed before a first litter and him because nobody really needs an intact tom around. I now need to contact the group that fixed Mama, sister and him to get these new kittens fixed and the unfixed orange boy.
I have an old black cat, too, who was born into a feral colony. I always choose black cats for myself (I’ve had 3 so far, including my current one). I hope she’s got a lot more good years left; she’s otherwise healthy. When it’s her time, she’ll join her predecessor in the backyard. My kids tell me she’ll live forever, though, so I’ll keep my fingers crossed.
@@KristenRowenPliske When I was moving out from the folks, even before I found a place to live, I found a black cat. Then, when I was living with my roommate and her cats, she let in a very pregnant black cat. That one probably had FIV, they thought it was FeLuk back then, and I lost her at about 3 years old. Then my original black cat got out, got into some rat poison and she passed at 6. I was black cat less for about a year when my roommate spotted a tiny, black kitten running across a busy street. We managed to track him down, live trap him and I got my first feral. When he died at about 11 I was again black cat less until a very dear friend got cancer and passed. I got her 3 cats, and one of them was black. He passed at about 13 - she had rescued him at the complex she lived in. A couple of years later I got my little feral family, including my oldest black cat.
This video gets published mere days after I uploaded a new historical monument to the city of Chester, UK: John Ivies' fountain, located in Grosevnor Park. It's just a bit of masonry, a little fountain that's been neglected and left to weather and wear, but on it is his name, and his joke.
"Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again"
- John Ivies
No-one I was with when I came across it understood the joke, and when I went back with my wife she'd completely forgotten about the whole ordeal. But not me. I remembered. I uploaded his mastercraft of a joke to Google Maps. I gave him a five star review, I updated his page. And with hope, other people will come and see his fountain.
I don't know who John Ivis was, when he lived or even where, presuming it was at least within Chester, but I feel a connection to him. Even though time has forgotten him, I will not for as long as I can, and I have immortalised him in such a way that his memory may very well outlive me. Go pay his fountain a visit if you're ever in Chester, or maybe just go and have a look at the review I posted, see the fountain for yourself. Next time I go, I'll bring something to clean the place up and give him a bit of well-deserved respect.
For the sake of convenience, here's a link: maps.app.goo.gl/ZM3aTnoSQAQT3be1A
That's an amazing idea! I live in a town that doesn't get a lot of love. Perhaps an idea like this would give it a boost.
Thank you for sharing! 💚✌️😸
I'm a nurse, I have reviews from a place I used to work at. One says Best nurse ever, another says I should be fired. I clearly cannot compete with any cat. This is dumb earth.
maybe you should have acted less "depresiva"?
Where I live there's a post office nearby that I know very well. One time I was looking at their opening hours on Google map and I scrolled down and read the comments, hilarious!! As you can imagine, an understaffed local post office isn't gonna get great reviews, and damn it people are so cranky these days! They say the staffs are rude and unhelpful and the cash machines often did not work blah blah blah. Granted, some of the younger interns are not enthusiatic about working there. There's this guy with a perpetual resting bitch face. But I've been sending and receiving packages here for years and I think they're pretty nice. One particular postman would automatically go get my packages when I walk in the door. I mean, it's not a 5-star hotel and you are not the president. They do what they can, and you can respectfully cut them a little slack. All said, don't mind the bad reviews. Some people are little bitches. Don't mind them.
Just gave that sweet kitty it's 100th 5* review. Great video again, hope you enjoyed your time in the med.
"predictability" is not something one should rate a cat on!
The cats of Disneyland have their own Instagram , they tell you where in the park they are at and if they are friendly.
And if you have $800 and a shocking amount of free time, you too can maybe see them!
We must save Manolios's reputation.
Leave it to Rare Earth to make something this silly and still manage to be philosophically astute. 😂
"Babe, its time to travel halfway around the world to find a cat"
"Yes dear"
Something wrong with that?
I needed this today, Rare Earth- thank you.
I’m very envious of your extensive travels, Sir. I can tell you from my own admittedly more limited travels that it will change you in ways you won’t realize for another 20 years. That you’ve figured out how to make a living from doing it is marvelous!
This was excellent. Thank you!
I remember Crete fondly. It was nice petting so many stray cats!
Hah thank you so much, I know it’s unavoidable that a video about cats is gonna get a boost just because of its source material, but you managed to add your usual pathos and deeper meaning. With a residual “now I too want to go about righting injustice” feeling. Amazing job!
Well, Evan, you are definitely a cat person. Why am I not surprised. Considering the fact that cat videos rule on CZcams and have from the beginning of CZcams, I'm not surprised people give stars to cats and strays around the world. I have two cats I watch regularly on CZcams. One is Messi, a puma rescued by a Russian couple. And Billie, at BillieSpeaks, a cat who for the past three or so years has been learning to speak by pushing buttons. Unfortunately Billie is in the last weeks of her life, and we will grieve her passing. Yeah she's a famous cat now, but we've grown to love her, we've learned so much about cats and how they communicate because of her and her owners. We've learned about pumas, and how big cats are like little cats in their demeanor. If cats can bring us closer then I say I'm all for it. We need some cat loving in the world right now. We need to pet a cat, hear it purr, and calm the friggin hell down. ❤
Naomi Catbell?
Didn't expect to laugh at a Rare Earth episode but here we are
No kidding. We had child sacrifices as waters rose. We had radioactive snow on a fishing boat. We had dictators of all kinds. Perhaps we are saved on this channel as the cats are now in control.
seen a cat-video or two in my time,
this one has more production value than most.
I didn't even have to check the description to KNOW you were in Greece.
Outstanding video my dude! I’m in the Navy and I’ve spent lots of time in Chania, as soon as I saw the video picture I knew where it was! Great town!
I'm literally on holiday half an hour away this week, I'm 100% visiting Naomi tomorrow
Brilliant! The video and the final notes 👌🏻🤣
What a great video! Loved it thoroughly.
Looking forward to these episodes. My wife and I are thinking of getting away from the Canadian winter next year and visiting Crete for at least a month.
this is your best work yet!
Random recs got me here. It's a very lovely and humorous video. 😊
Simply brilliant. Thank you! In my Oceania travels, orange tabbies have been by far the most prevalent. Not many on Crete, eh?
Always enjoyable, usually informative.
Wow, this is a deep dive where I didn’t expect it :) all the more interesting as I incidentally watched the Black Mirror episode “Nosedive” just yesterday 😂
Such a heartwarming little essay. Been to Greece und Chania many times and I love Greek cats. They all deserve our love, snacks and support… P. S. Wait a minute! 2 weeks in Chania… Does this mean we can hope to expect some episodes from Crete soon?! 😍😍
It's been a while, nearly forgot your channel is a solid five star
they're 5-star cats in my heart
And it's not just a name. In 1989 I was in a car accident with a drunk driver named Tonya Harding. This particular woman was not (at the time) a quite good and famous ice skater.
This Tonya Harding was just a drunk driver who ran a red light.
I see you've finally figured out the CZcams algorithm and the content that the internet can never get enough of: cats.
Can't wait for his collab with Claire Luvcat.
lovely. I dread next week terribly, but am excited for it as usual!
Thanks this was exactly what i needed. Its just good to know that sometimes the world is stupid, and thats okay for now.
Great work. Simply great work.
1:39 My black cat also does the same "Smug face" when he's happy about things. Its the best cat face.
I eagerly await the response video from Manolios.
I will say that I am skeptical of the highly rated tourist destinations, especially since I know for a fact that many companies have their employees write fake good reviews to boost their reputations.
I'd say that one place that definitely doesn't deserve good reviews would be The Louvre in Paris.
If you want to see great works of art and actually be able to enjoy them, you're better off going to L'Museé D'Orsay.
Better watch out, Evan. I hear that Manolios has *powerful* friends!
Good video. I have an outdoor cat that is named POOTIE, but I don't let him go online because he can be a bully sometimes, especially with dogs. He's a tuxedo cat with a nice goatee and reminds me of a little beatnik. He's a great little guy,no stars needed.
I loved the subtle change on the usual end screen warning xD
You really went and spent two weeks investigating local cats and presented us the best one. Manolios may well have been the best once, but I'd say he's been sleeping in a laurel bush for too long.
As it stands now: Manolios, 73 reviews; Naomi, 104 reviews.
Enjoyed that more than I expected. 😊
Cats in shops reminds me of Ghostwire: Tokyo and now I'm sad for Tango Gameworks.
Truly a great video.
This video is fantastic. The credits card is fantastic. The cats are fantastic. The sentiment is solid. The journey continues...
no other rare earth video will be as good as this one
I want to say thank you for validating my urge to read every line of the outro, even though the last two lines have been until now, pretty much always the same disclaimer.
bro out here got all the smoke for this random ass cat...💀💀💀💀
Rare earth στην Ελλάδα? Για πάμε λίγο !!!
Bringing odd stories from little places around the world, this is possibly the most on brand that you could be... yet has clearly wound up many 😂
Made sure to send this to everyone in hopes they will also leave her a well deserved 5 start review
Thank you for this 5 minute break
My parents are now on Kos and they have done a lot since the 2020 earthquake. That used to be the stray cat island of Greece
This is one of the best analogies in YT. Also, Greece is pretty much the same as Turkey when it comes to cats and other things.
Cannot believe you went to crete like a week ago i wish i ve known
My guy there are street cat reviews on Google? This is the best news ever!
My 5-star cat is sleeping on my bed right now.
First time you’ve gone somewhere where I have been!
I loved every version of Manolios, especially Chonkolios
And this, sir, is a five-star video! 🎉
Oh wow, a Rare Earth video about a place I've actually been to dozens of times.
I want my 5 star baby boy back. Truly double the stars in fact.
extra points for the credits screen!!!
I am all for Chonkolios. All hail the chonk.
that’s a weird looking pigeon at the end there
My favorite channel
2:08 omg rx8 my beloved
Manolios needs to shave his Michael Cera mustache
Incredibly tempted to give Naomi a 4/5 star review :p
I knew this moment would come
Haters gonna hate. :(
If there are 99 5-star reviews for every 4-star down to 1-star review, the sum of those reviews will be at least 496 and the average of 4.96 will be rounded by YT to 5 again. So hey everyone let's eat some Feta
I had Subway in South Korea and it tasted completely different from home. All cats are 5 star cats.
The intersection of Rare Earth and cats! 🤯😸 And, on a lower 48 aurora day! 🌌 💜🍀
You've made my day! 💚🐈⬛✌️😸
Really gone to the dogs, haven't we, um, er, I mean, uh, cats....
This video is like tricking the platform while getting all of your meaning out with the best intentions.
It's a cat-aphore
You even changed the end card. Naomi is a cute little 5/5 void.
"... most people can barely make them purr for themselves." Are you feline OK, Evan?
I like your parody of yourself Mr Hadfield. This was a fun episode from whisker to tail.
I also have a black cat. She is also predictable & easy to find in my house. She doesn’t like to sit on laps or be picked up though; she prefers the recliner foot raised so she can sit next to me. 4.5/10? 4.9/10?
I have to give her 5 stars. She’s MY cat.
Thank you for your report.
The most in-depth review of a cat on record
The Crete series is going just as I expected.... 😽
Where in Brooklyn is Crete? place looks amazing! Will check it out next time I visit NYC
I was there last year. Did not see Manolios! Saw many other kitties though (edited for typo)
