- 1:40Speaker 4: Steve's been everywhere, exactly. The Wolfman is in this house.
- 1:44Speaker 2: All right, Wolfman, get ready for some knowledge. All right, Argentina.
- 1:50Speaker 2: I'll tell you one thing about Argentina. People eat more
- 1:54Speaker 2: beef than almost any nation. How do you like that?
- 1:59Speaker 3: Yeah, but they grow it right. They don't feed it
- 2:00Speaker 3: full of corn and crap.
- 2:02Speaker 2: I mean, I didn't. There's no question that they grow it, right?
- 2:07Speaker 3: Well, no, it matters because you can eat more if
- 2:09Speaker 3: it's actually a healthy cow. It's not an unhealthy meal.
- 2:13Speaker 3: It's the way we feed our cows that makes it
- 2:15Speaker 3: unhealthy for us.
- 2:16Speaker 4: It's mostly how we do everything here.
- 2:17Speaker 3: Pretty much. We poison, yeah, we are poisoned on purpose.
- 2:22Speaker 2: Well, let me tell you.
- 2:22Speaker 5: And I'll tell you what, Argentinian steak houses in South
- 2:28Speaker 5: America are incredible.
- 2:30Speaker 6: Incredible.
- 2:32Speaker 2: Well, you know, Jen, everybody, I have a topic related
- 2:35Speaker 2: to that next week. So let me go through everything.
- 2:37Speaker 2: There's great minds to take a look on this show.
- 2:39Speaker 2: That's why I have a group of one and only five,
- 2:42Speaker 2: a fearsome fivesome here, not foursome. Forget about that. All right,
- 2:46Speaker 2: let's talk about the more beef, okay? Argentina people invented
- 2:51Speaker 2: fingerprint identification for police work. Let me go over the list.
- 2:56Speaker 2: Everybody can comment. In Argentina, penguins, no, not the Pittsburgh penguins,
- 3:00Speaker 2: but penguins roamed.
- 3:03Speaker 6: Really?
- 3:03Speaker 2: Okay. In Argentina?
- 3:06Speaker 6: Southern Argentina.
- 3:08Speaker 4: Yes. Interesting.
- 3:10Speaker 2: Okay. Well, let me go through it, please. Argentine people
- 3:13Speaker 2: have one of the world's largest dinosaur fossils. All right.
- 3:18Speaker 2: Let's keep it going. Argentine people invented the artificial heart.
- 3:23Speaker 2: Argentine people celebrate Friends Day with parties and dinners. That's
- 3:27Speaker 2: not so bad. In Argentina... The Andes Mountains cover 30%
- 3:33Speaker 2: of the country. Argentine people have pink lakes that look
- 3:38Speaker 2: like strawberry milk. I'm not drinking in the lake, though.
- 3:42Speaker 2: Argentine people host massive street-tangled festivals. People. All right. We'll
- 3:49Speaker 2: go in order. Okay. Want to stay on track? Lots
- 3:51Speaker 2: to get to. No problem. If we have to push
- 3:53Speaker 2: the sports exchange back, we'll do it. But let's start
- 3:56Speaker 2: off with Eddie.
- 3:56Speaker 6: Okay.
- 3:57Speaker 2: What's one or two or three of these things stands
- 3:59Speaker 2: out to you, Mr. McAndrew?
- 4:01Speaker 4: Oh, they all, I, I know some Argentine, I have
- 4:05Speaker 4: a Argentinian friend, great guy. What, some of the friendly,
- 4:10Speaker 4: some of the nicest people you want to meet, very hospitable. Uh,
- 4:14Speaker 4: you know, they just, you know, they don't have a,
- 4:15Speaker 4: at least the ones I've met don't have a prejudice
- 4:18Speaker 4: bone in their body. Um, I take almost all the above, Scott.
- 4:24Speaker 4: The parties would be fun. I want to see a
- 4:28Speaker 4: strawberry lake. My wife loves penguins, so seeing penguins down
- 4:33Speaker 4: in South America would be pretty cool. Actually, it's beyond
- 4:35Speaker 4: a place I'd like to go visit just because they're
- 4:38Speaker 4: nice people and the food in almost any All the
- 4:51Speaker 4: countries outside of here is usually out of this world. So, yeah. So,
- 4:55Speaker 4: all of them. All of the above, Scott.
- 4:59Speaker 2: Okay. By the way, John, talk to me in the
- 5:01Speaker 2: chat room. Get back in touch with me. I'd love
- 5:03Speaker 2: to bring you on a show anytime you want. I
- 5:06Speaker 2: like this guy. He knows a lot. And anytime you
- 5:09Speaker 2: want to come on a show, give me a text message. Anyway,
- 5:12Speaker 2: I'd love to have you on, Johnny. Look forward to it.
- 5:15Speaker 2: Thanks for being in the chat room. All right, Steve.
- 5:18Speaker 2: I've been to Argentina. Balasterry. I gave you a lot
- 5:21Speaker 2: to digest.
- 5:22Speaker 6: I wouldn't be that low, Kyle.
- 5:25Speaker 2: All right, go ahead. Give it to me.
- 5:31Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 5:33Speaker 5: Like I was saying at the outset there, when you
- 5:36Speaker 5: talk about the steak down there, as Jen was saying,
- 5:42Speaker 5: they feed their beef naturally down there and it.
- 5:50Speaker 6: Totally different than ours. And it is off the hook,
- 5:54Speaker 6: my friend.
- 5:56Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 5:57Speaker 5: If you ever go somewhere where there's an Argentine steakhouse,
- 6:01Speaker 5: I encourage you to partake in that.
- 6:04Speaker 6: A lot of them have what they call a buffet.
- 6:08Speaker 5: It's not really a buffet, but they just keep sawing
- 6:11Speaker 5: off steak and they bring it by your table until
- 6:15Speaker 5: you tell them to stop bringing it, which, you know, is...
- 6:19Speaker 5: For those of us who like to overeat and overdrink,
- 6:23Speaker 5: it was quite the experience. I got a steak literally
- 6:29Speaker 5: about that big, about that thick, and it would just melt.
- 6:36Speaker 5: That being said, Argentinian nightlife is really fun. Yes, they
- 6:45Speaker 5: do have penguins because Southern Argentina, you remember the where
- 6:50Speaker 5: the Brits and the Argentinians fought over the Falkland Islands. Yeah,
- 6:54Speaker 5: that's at the very tip of South America. And it,
- 6:57Speaker 5: my friends, is cold down there. It is cold down there,
- 7:02Speaker 5: you know. So, yeah, penguins thrive in that. Now, I
- 7:08Speaker 5: never saw a pink lake, but I've heard of that,
- 7:12Speaker 5: you know, because of something, some mineral deposits in the
- 7:17Speaker 5: soil or whatnot turns the waters. like a pink. So,
- 7:21Speaker 5: but never saw that. So I can't, I can't talk
- 7:26Speaker 5: about that, but it's a, it's a great place and
- 7:30Speaker 5: they have a lot of cool people. Unfortunately, one of
- 7:33Speaker 5: the times I was there, we got into a little
- 7:36Speaker 5: bit of a shootout, but that's not for this show.
- 7:39Speaker 6: And we can talk about that.
- 7:40Speaker 2: At another time.
- 7:43Speaker 3: Holy what?
- 7:44Speaker 4: That might be a cool, that's.
- 7:46Speaker 5: A cool side. We ran into some Argentinian career criminals,
- 7:57Speaker 5: I guess.
- 7:57Speaker 2: You could say.
- 7:58Speaker 6: And yeah, it wasn't very pleasant. But, you know, I
- 8:03Speaker 6: would go back there tomorrow.
- 8:06Speaker 2: Boy, the way you gave that description, I'll tell you,
- 8:08Speaker 2: you ought to be a professor about Argentina, although we
- 8:10Speaker 2: have the Argentine ring, though. One of these days I'm
- 8:13Speaker 2: going to bring him on as a special guest to
- 8:14Speaker 2: come on the show. You're going to like this guy.
- 8:16Speaker 2: I'll tell you, he gave me a lot of love. Now,
- 8:18Speaker 2: because of you guys continuing to elaborate, I found another
- 8:21Speaker 2: interesting Argentinian topic I didn't even have going into this.
- 8:24Speaker 2: But we'll let Jennifer and Candy go ahead and get
- 8:27Speaker 2: it in. Then we'll go to this particular topic. We
- 8:30Speaker 2: missed you last week, Jen.
- 8:31Speaker 4: I missed you guys.
- 8:33Speaker 3: I just got done listening to it. I have comments
- 8:35Speaker 3: on all of it, but you know. But I'm coming
- 8:39Speaker 3: on Argentina right now. And Argentina has long been on
- 8:43Speaker 3: my list because I want to go hiking and drink
- 8:46Speaker 3: wine there. Obviously eat a steak with my wine. You know,
- 8:51Speaker 3: I always think of Argentinian meat. I guess I usually
- 8:53Speaker 3: get skirt steak with the chimichurri sauce. So that's kind
- 8:57Speaker 3: of in those long plantain banana things that are just
- 9:00Speaker 3: to die for. I love all of that. I love
- 9:02Speaker 3: Argentinian food. And, you know, it's interesting because I was
- 9:05Speaker 3: going to say, gosh, the South American people are They're
- 9:08Speaker 3: so warm. They're so fun. They're so loving. But then
- 9:11Speaker 3: there is also the other side that they, there's a
- 9:13Speaker 3: lot of crime, a lot, a lot of crime. And
- 9:16Speaker 3: I was actually forgetting about that until you mentioned the
- 9:18Speaker 3: shootout and I was like, oh yeah, it is quite,
- 9:20Speaker 3: it can be quite dangerous, you know? So a little
- 9:22Speaker 3: bit of both. Now, definitely I have never heard of
- 9:26Speaker 3: the pink strawberry shake pond thing or whatever, like that's
- 9:31Speaker 3: something to go visit. And I feel like I should
- 9:33Speaker 3: take that rose and then what is it um strawberry
- 9:37Speaker 3: strawberry tequila and it's like a rose colored tequila you
- 9:40Speaker 3: know you should drink that on the beach.
- 9:42Speaker 6: While you're sitting there kind.
- 9:44Speaker 3: Of seems to go hand in hand with the whole
- 9:48Speaker 3: entire thing but um yeah i i want to get
- 9:51Speaker 3: over there i think um all of i had no
- 9:54Speaker 3: idea that there were penguins in in argentina i want
- 9:58Speaker 3: to see penguins my brother went to Antarctica to see
- 10:01Speaker 3: the penguins. And I find penguins fascinating, although that Morgan
- 10:05Speaker 3: Freeman movie that they made on the penguins, that was
- 10:08Speaker 3: a little rough to watch, you know, but it was
- 10:10Speaker 3: a little slow. But it was quite interesting and entertaining.
- 10:14Speaker 3: The male is the one that takes care of the egg.
- 10:16Speaker 2: I'll say one thing. Just listen to you, Jen. Don't
- 10:20Speaker 2: take this the wrong way, Candy. She'd be a good
- 10:22Speaker 2: drinking buddy. Candy's always the designated driver, so she don't
- 10:28Speaker 2: worry about that. Candy's the one we invite to all
- 10:32Speaker 2: of them. Well, Candy would never take it the right way.
- 10:35Speaker 2: I've never seen a person who's the biggest trooper on
- 10:37Speaker 2: the planet. Strawberry margaritas are it for me anyway.
- 10:42Speaker 3: Well, this tequila is more like a liqueur, like a thicker...
- 10:47Speaker 3: It's like a shake.
- 10:51Speaker 4: Until you drink too much of it and it has
- 10:53Speaker 4: a little bit of a different.
- 10:54Speaker 3: Effect yeah because it is that extra sweet tequila it's
- 10:58Speaker 3: a cream based you.
- 10:59Speaker 6: Know I don't do anything in moderation so I'm no.
- 11:03Speaker 7: Game for that we'll weave in some Patron or some
- 11:08Speaker 7: you know Tracy yeah alright Katie go ahead go for it.
- 11:14Speaker 1: Katie Okay, hold on, because you know me, I had
- 11:18Speaker 1: to look this up. Look at this picture from NASA
- 11:22Speaker 1: captures a giant pink heart in Argentina.
- 11:26Speaker 4: No way. That is cool. Yeah.
- 11:28Speaker 3: I have never seen this at all.
- 11:32Speaker 4: I'm amazed.
- 11:34Speaker 3: It looks like I need to get engaged in Argentina
- 11:36Speaker 3: when I meet somebody worth marrying.
- 11:38Speaker 4: Look at this. There you go.
- 11:42Speaker 3: I'm just planning ahead.
- 11:43Speaker 5: You just go down there and marry somebody for the weekend.
- 11:48Speaker 1: Exactly.
- 11:50Speaker 3: After I talk about my lioness thing, though, I might,
- 11:52Speaker 3: I don't know if I'm going to hear from you.
- 11:55Speaker 2: I'll kind of wait for your comments on that later.
- 11:57Speaker 2: At least let me get a few topics in anyway.
- 12:01Speaker 2: I put a lot of time into this show because
- 12:04Speaker 2: I got to be on my most creative behavior and
- 12:07Speaker 2: and make sure I keep every one of y'all off balance. Okay,
- 12:10Speaker 2: go ahead, Candy. Outside of the research, give me some
- 12:13Speaker 2: things on Argentina, Candy.
- 12:15Speaker 1: So, I mean, I love that lake. I mean, it
- 12:17Speaker 1: turns a– so it starts out as a natural pastel,
- 12:23Speaker 1: and the heat and intense of the summer mixes with
- 12:28Speaker 1: the salt, and it turns it to that fluorescent pink. That,
- 12:32Speaker 1: I think, is so cool. Thank you. Give me a
- 12:35Speaker 1: steak every day of the week, and I'd be a
- 12:38Speaker 1: happy girl.
- 12:39Speaker 4: There you go.
- 12:41Speaker 2: All right, let's roll. A lot to get to, and
- 12:44Speaker 2: here we go. I told you I got my wheels turning.
- 12:50Speaker 2: Argentina is the country with the most requested amount of
- 12:53Speaker 2: tickets for the World Cup behind USA, Canada, and Mexico. Yeah,
- 12:58Speaker 2: they like their socket out there, Eddie. Rapid fire.
- 13:01Speaker 4: Really? Yeah, obviously, yeah. I mean, they had Argentina was,
- 13:07Speaker 4: you know, one of the most popular teams. They had
- 13:10Speaker 4: one of the, you know, one of the top teams.
- 13:12Speaker 4: They had one of the, back in the 80s, Diego
- 13:15Speaker 4: Maradona was probably one of the best players, if not
- 13:18Speaker 4: the best player in the world for a while. So
- 13:21Speaker 4: they love their, you know, like any, like all the
- 13:23Speaker 4: Latin American countries, they love their soccer, their football.
- 13:26Speaker 2: Okay, Steve.
- 13:29Speaker 5: Yeah, they definitely, I mean, when the World Cup, was
- 13:33Speaker 5: going on, I remember the streets, no matter which country
- 13:38Speaker 5: I've been, because I've, you know, traveled extensively in South America.
- 13:44Speaker 6: And, you know, whenever the World Cup was going on
- 13:47Speaker 6: and any of those countries, the streets were empty. I mean,
- 13:51Speaker 6: you know, there was nobody out.
- 13:54Speaker 5: You know, we talk about, oh, traffic's easy on Super
- 13:57Speaker 5: Bowl Sunday. Not even close. I mean, they rolled up
- 14:02Speaker 5: the sidewalk and don't you dare, you know, do anything
- 14:07Speaker 5: to make the cops leave the police station.
- 14:10Speaker 6: Because they were all glued.
- 14:11Speaker 4: Because they're just going to put you down.
- 14:15Speaker 5: Yes, because the cops were all, you know, because back then,
- 14:18Speaker 5: one of my trips, I was an advisor to the
- 14:21Speaker 5: National Police. So, you know, during the World Cup, I'm
- 14:24Speaker 5: driving through town and I don't see one cop. And
- 14:27Speaker 5: I go to the police station. They had a little
- 14:29Speaker 5: TV about this big. And they were all just packed
- 14:32Speaker 5: around it and everyone, you know. Well, it doesn't hurt
- 14:36Speaker 5: that you got Lionel Messi on there either. All he's
- 14:39Speaker 5: going to do is make it even more interesting.
- 14:40Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 14:41Speaker 2: All right, Shane, go ahead.
- 14:42Speaker 3: I mean, he's the quick draw McGraw right now.
- 14:44Speaker 4: You know what I mean?
- 14:45Speaker 3: Who wouldn't want to watch? I think I wasn't surprised
- 14:48Speaker 3: at all about Argentina, but I was very surprised that
- 14:50Speaker 3: the U.S. is number the second one. I would never
- 14:53Speaker 3: have guessed that, but maybe it's just our size because
- 14:56Speaker 3: everybody moved here.
- 14:56Speaker 2: Okay, go ahead, Katie. Yeah, I mean.
- 15:01Speaker 1: I understand.
- 15:01Speaker 2: I'm going to roll through some of these topics, so
- 15:03Speaker 2: go ahead, Candy. Go ahead.
- 15:05Speaker 1: I was going to say, with Lionel Messi there, he's
- 15:07Speaker 1: one of the best players ever. Why wouldn't people flock
- 15:11Speaker 1: to see him? I get it. I mean, and now
- 15:14Speaker 1: that he retired, it's going to be interesting to see
- 15:17Speaker 1: who takes over for him as the star.
- 15:20Speaker 2: Okay. Let's continue. Guess what, people? We're going to Turkey!
- 15:25Speaker 2: And I'm not talking Thanksgiving people, Turkey. We're talking about
- 15:29Speaker 2: the fact that Turkish people celebrate oil wrestling as a
- 15:33Speaker 2: national sport.
- 15:35Speaker 4: Oil wrestling.
- 15:37Speaker 2: All right, let's go to the particulars, okay?
- 15:41Speaker 4: Let's not. Let's not. Let's not go to. We don't know.
- 15:45Speaker 4: We can just. I don't know. Is this YouTube friendly?
- 15:49Speaker 2: Well, let me finish. I'm waiting for Candy to put
- 15:53Speaker 2: up the video.
- 15:54Speaker 4: We're live. I'm waiting for the... I'm waiting to get
- 16:01Speaker 4: the sensors to come through and just put the sensor
- 16:03Speaker 4: over Scott's mouth for a bit.
- 16:05Speaker 2: Nobody puts the sensor over my mouth. My father-in-law tried
- 16:08Speaker 2: duct tape once and it never worked. So let me finish.
- 16:12Speaker 2: Then you can put the sensors if you want. I
- 16:14Speaker 2: don't care. But anyway, get this. Turkish people invented... No, here.
- 16:18Speaker 2: So they... They celebrate oil rustling as a national sport.
- 16:21Speaker 2: I'm giving you more information about Turkish people. They invented
- 16:25Speaker 2: the fabulous ice cream that stretches and doesn't melt fast. Oh,
- 16:30Speaker 2: my goodness. I'm getting sick thinking about this one. We
- 16:34Speaker 2: got ice cream on the docket here. Okay. Not bad. Okay.
- 16:39Speaker 2: Need to get over to Turkey. We'll see if we
- 16:41Speaker 2: hit one of our cruises over there to do it. Okay.
- 16:44Speaker 2: We got Turkey.
- 16:45Speaker 6: Turkey.
- 16:46Speaker 2: In Turkey, you can find an entire city built underground. Okay.
- 16:50Speaker 2: Let's keep it going. Turkish people eat breakfast with 20
- 16:55Speaker 2: different small dishes. My God, I can't even count that.
- 16:58Speaker 2: All right. Turkish people created the first known coins in history.
- 17:04Speaker 3: Look at that.
- 17:05Speaker 2: Now the Turkish people are getting into the coins business.
- 17:08Speaker 2: How many have they saved? All right. In Turkey, Cappadocia
- 17:13Speaker 2: has hot air balloons. Floating daily at sunrise. Look at that.
- 17:18Speaker 2: So we've got Cappadocia sighting here. And those of you
- 17:22Speaker 2: that really want to look this stuff, can't make it up. C-A-P-P-A-D-O-C-I-A.
- 17:31Speaker 2: And then you have air balloons. And then you have sunrise.
- 17:34Speaker 2: Not bad, right? Well, I'll tell you what. This is
- 17:36Speaker 2: cool stuff, Danny. You take a note, I want you
- 17:39Speaker 2: to research it. So that's why we save it for
- 17:41Speaker 2: last anyway. All right, let's see. We got sunrise involved here. Okay, look, sunrise.
- 17:48Speaker 2: And then we have Turkish people once believed tulips were
- 17:51Speaker 2: sacred flowers. Oh, tiptoe through the tulips. Are they sacred?
- 17:55Speaker 2: I don't know. We're not American Idol. That ain't happening
- 17:59Speaker 2: anytime soon. Okay, let's keep it rolling. Okay, then we
- 18:02Speaker 2: have the Turkey. Evil eye charms are somewhere. They're seen
- 18:07Speaker 2: everywhere for protection. In Turkey, there's a lake. Full of flamingos.
- 18:13Speaker 2: Holy moly. We got that lake of flamingos. We have
- 18:17Speaker 2: pink lakes tonight. What else are we going to come
- 18:19Speaker 2: up with? Of course, the one show we were on,
- 18:21Speaker 2: we talked about all the weird names up in Canada.
- 18:24Speaker 2: Church of People celebrating Children's Day as a national holiday. Now,
- 18:28Speaker 2: I like that. We got to give the children some props.
- 18:31Speaker 2: I don't know what that does for the card holidays,
- 18:33Speaker 2: but it is what it is. Okay. And let's see.
- 18:37Speaker 2: How many more have we got here? I love these topics.
- 18:39Speaker 2: I can do everything. Why did he take it from there?
- 18:42Speaker 4: All right. Well, the Oil Wrestling National Sport. That's just interesting.
- 18:51Speaker 4: I almost want to kind of know more. That's just–
- 18:58Speaker 4: there you go. All right. All right.
- 19:01Speaker 3: Oh, it's not the Oil Wrestling.
- 19:03Speaker 6: The bloom went off the rose a little bit there.
- 19:05Speaker 6: I mean, I don't know.
- 19:08Speaker 4: Oh, that kind of wrestling. I thought you were talking.
- 19:13Speaker 4: It was inside of a facility, inside of a blow-up
- 19:16Speaker 4: pool or something. Anyway, no, the ice cream sounds delicious.
- 19:24Speaker 4: There's one thing you didn't mention that I've always wanted
- 19:26Speaker 4: to try because I've seen it made many times. It's
- 19:29Speaker 4: Turkish coffee. I hear that is real. I'm a coffee drinker. Um,
- 19:35Speaker 4: and I've seen, I've seen videos on that and stuff.
- 19:38Speaker 4: That is kind of on my bucket list to go
- 19:41Speaker 4: to a Turkish cafe or something. Even there's a lot,
- 19:46Speaker 4: one of the really nice things about living in this DC,
- 19:50Speaker 4: Northern Virginia area there is there are many different cultures
- 19:55Speaker 4: around here that put up restaurants and you know from Japanese,
- 20:00Speaker 4: Korean Indian you can get halal meat Not even sure
- 20:10Speaker 4: I said that right. That's basically the kosher way of–
- 20:16Speaker 4: I'm going to call it the kosher way for the Hindus,
- 20:20Speaker 4: I believe, to eat– to prepare their meat. For those
- 20:25Speaker 4: watching that don't know, so yeah, so it's– and they
- 20:30Speaker 4: have Turkish cafes here, and it's– and I've had the
- 20:34Speaker 4: privilege of working with many people for my career because
- 20:37Speaker 4: of what I do. Okay. But back from different parts
- 20:40Speaker 4: of the world. So it's just that around here. So
- 20:43Speaker 4: it's just really nice. But yeah, I like the ice
- 20:45Speaker 4: cream too. That Foley ice cream. I think I've also
- 20:48Speaker 4: seen something on that. Again, I am all for visiting
- 20:53Speaker 4: different cultures and experiencing different things. I'm a thousand percent
- 20:58Speaker 4: in no matter what. All good. Now Steve's going to
- 21:03Speaker 4: tell us all the places to go. You're making me
- 21:10Speaker 4: feel bad now.
- 21:15Speaker 5: I'll admit that when he said oil wrestling, my mind
- 21:19Speaker 5: went straight to the gutter. I was picturing the old
- 21:25Speaker 5: James Bond movie from Russia with Love, the two gypsy
- 21:28Speaker 5: girls that are rolling around. They had the big fight
- 21:32Speaker 5: at the beginning. so that's what I was picturing with
- 21:35Speaker 5: the oil wrestling that day, you know, that picture kind
- 21:37Speaker 5: of took the bloom off the roads for me a
- 21:39Speaker 5: little bit. Um, but, uh, uh, you know, I, I
- 21:45Speaker 5: will say this, um, you know, when, uh, after my
- 21:48Speaker 5: military career, when I was doing private security, um, my, uh,
- 21:53Speaker 5: my boss's biggest clients had been to Turkey a couple
- 21:56Speaker 5: of times and I was itching to go.
- 21:59Speaker 6: I wanted to go so badly.
- 22:01Speaker 5: Um, You know, and they went to Cappadocia also, you know, Constantinople.
- 22:10Speaker 6: You know, now called something else. But, you know, I'll
- 22:14Speaker 6: call it that.
- 22:15Speaker 5: But, you know, it's always been a fascination for me because,
- 22:21Speaker 5: you know, my DNA ends up going through there. So,
- 22:26Speaker 5: you know, we had Viking blood who were, you know,
- 22:32Speaker 5: ended up in Sicily, but the Vikings at that time,
- 22:36Speaker 5: about a thousand years ago were the, there was like 5,000
- 22:41Speaker 5: of them that were the personal bodyguard of the Holy
- 22:43Speaker 5: Roman emperor in Constantinople. So they went to Sicily because
- 22:49Speaker 5: the Moors had taken it and stayed for about four years.
- 22:52Speaker 5: And that's how I ended up with Viking DNA and
- 22:54Speaker 5: my family from Sicily. So that's always been kind of
- 22:58Speaker 5: a fascination part, but.
- 23:00Speaker 6: You know, um, I've always wanted to visit there.
- 23:04Speaker 5: I served with a couple of Turkish soldiers. They were
- 23:08Speaker 5: absolutely crazy. And so that was kind of cool. But, yeah,
- 23:15Speaker 5: and you should check out the Turkish cafes. If you're
- 23:20Speaker 5: a coffee snob like I am, you will absolutely love it,
- 23:24Speaker 5: my friend. Just don't go there late in the afternoon because.
- 23:29Speaker 4: You'll be taken off the roster a lot.
- 23:33Speaker 2: If I treat that stuff after 3 o'clock, I will
- 23:36Speaker 2: be sleeping for three days. And Candy's going to have
- 23:39Speaker 2: the toughest time on the planet figuring that out. All right,
- 23:43Speaker 2: go ahead. What stands out in this group?
- 23:46Speaker 3: I think the Turkish coffee comes with an electric charge
- 23:49Speaker 3: to it. It is strong coffee. I think it gives
- 23:53Speaker 3: espresso a run for its money. It is stronger than espresso.
- 23:58Speaker 2: It's really good, though.
- 24:00Speaker 3: Yeah, it's the way they make it. It's interesting.
- 24:04Speaker 1: It's really good.
- 24:05Speaker 3: My friends are Armenian and they make Turkish coffee.
- 24:07Speaker 2: Okay.
- 24:08Speaker 4: All right. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
- 24:10Speaker 3: I have traveled to Turkey. I love Turkey. I found
- 24:13Speaker 3: the people to be absolutely amazing. We met Fouke there.
- 24:17Speaker 3: That's not how he spells it. We all enjoyed that
- 24:20Speaker 3: for quite a while. He was our bartender to make
- 24:25Speaker 3: it even more fun and actually my friend on Facebook
- 24:27Speaker 3: to this day. Yeah, I mean, I found Turkey to
- 24:33Speaker 3: be absolutely spectacular. I have what I call my turkey
- 24:37Speaker 3: lamp I brought back. I traveled a lot through with
- 24:41Speaker 3: this big, you know, it was like the seven things.
- 24:44Speaker 3: It's almost like the chakras, you know, I did the
- 24:46Speaker 3: colors like that. It's fabulous. It's one of my favorite pieces.
- 24:49Speaker 3: I love when I travel, I get souvenirs that decorate
- 24:52Speaker 3: my house. And so my friends call my house, my,
- 24:54Speaker 3: my museum from around the world. Yeah. Yeah. I mean,
- 24:57Speaker 3: what's that?
- 25:02Speaker 2: No, no, that's okay.
- 25:03Speaker 4: Go ahead.
- 25:04Speaker 3: Oh, I don't know what else I was going to say.
- 25:05Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't remember anything, but Oh, the
- 25:07Speaker 3: oil wrestling. I had no idea, but I did know
- 25:11Speaker 3: that they were big into football as well. Like when
- 25:13Speaker 3: we were there, everybody was all lined up for the football.
- 25:15Speaker 3: How do I know that at the, you know, it's
- 25:18Speaker 3: what are they period period breaks? Maybe they were doing
- 25:20Speaker 3: the oil wrestling. I have no idea what was going
- 25:22Speaker 3: on in the field there, but there were a lot
- 25:24Speaker 3: of people. So perhaps there's potential there. I don't know.
- 25:27Speaker 3: I've never heard of that one.
- 25:28Speaker 2: Okay. Candy, go ahead.
- 25:30Speaker 1: Okay, let's see. Let's look a little bit at an
- 25:35Speaker 1: underground city.
- 25:36Speaker 4: Oh, wow.
- 25:38Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 25:40Speaker 1: They had a lot of different pictures. Here shows underground
- 25:46Speaker 1: on the bottom there. I thought it was kind of cool.
- 25:50Speaker 1: Then let's go on a picture. Let's see the lake
- 25:58Speaker 1: with all the flamingos.
- 26:00Speaker 3: Oh, wow. I missed that when I was there.
- 26:04Speaker 1: They have tons.
- 26:06Speaker 5: Wow.
- 26:07Speaker 2: Pretty cool stuff. Yeah. Go ahead. I know.
- 26:14Speaker 1: I have one more.
- 26:16Speaker 3: It's chomping.
- 26:17Speaker 1: Hey, you know. And then the tulips.
- 26:25Speaker 4: Wow.
- 26:27Speaker 1: That's cool.
- 26:28Speaker 3: Look at some of these.
- 26:30Speaker 4: Yeah, that's cool.
- 26:31Speaker 1: Look at some of these pictures. Like 130 years, one
- 26:35Speaker 1: of the rarest tulips was never seen blooming in its
- 26:38Speaker 1: native homeland. Now the lost Turkish tulip has returned to
- 26:42Speaker 1: the mountains of Turkey.
- 26:44Speaker 2: Oh, wow.
- 26:45Speaker 3: Look at that.
- 26:46Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 26:47Speaker 3: See, now I have to go back.
- 26:48Speaker 4: That's great, yeah.
- 26:49Speaker 3: I'll have to go to oil wrestling. Never knew. I
- 26:50Speaker 3: saw the men. I'm going.
- 26:54Speaker 4: Sorry, Steve.
- 26:54Speaker 3: You saw the other way. I saw this way.
- 26:56Speaker 5: Hey, you know, what's good for the goose?
- 27:00Speaker 3: My inner lioness, you know, I am a Leo.
- 27:02Speaker 2: All right, Katie, what stands out?
- 27:10Speaker 1: All of it. I mean, I think, I mean, obviously,
- 27:15Speaker 1: oil wrestling, I've never heard of that. Uh, but do
- 27:19Speaker 1: I love the fact I love flowers. Like I love
- 27:21Speaker 1: tulips because I'm like, when I used to live up North,
- 27:25Speaker 1: that was the first sign that winter was moving on
- 27:29Speaker 1: and that there was spring is coming and everything new
- 27:32Speaker 1: and fresh. And, um, yeah, so I, I kind of
- 27:36Speaker 1: liked that part of it, I guess.
- 27:37Speaker 2: Oh, there's a couple and we're going to keep rolling here.
- 27:40Speaker 2: But once it stood out to me where the ice
- 27:43Speaker 2: cream stretches, that doesn't even melt fast. And then the
- 27:45Speaker 2: other one is, how do you think about, Turkish people,
- 27:48Speaker 2: 20 breakfasts with small, 20 different dishes. My God. I
- 27:52Speaker 2: can't even keep track of one or two, let alone
- 27:54Speaker 2: add 20 to the equation. They got to be tiny.
- 28:00Speaker 2: They better be tiny if I hope to stay alive.
- 28:02Speaker 3: What's in the ice cream that makes it not melt?
- 28:05Speaker 3: That's my... That's kind.
- 28:07Speaker 6: Of like a little iffy on my.
- 28:09Speaker 1: Right.
- 28:09Speaker 3: I need to find out what this is made of
- 28:11Speaker 3: before I went in Rome.
- 28:14Speaker 2: Well, you know what, Jen? I'm planting a seed for you.
- 28:17Speaker 2: Now it's up to you to take it to the
- 28:18Speaker 2: next level.
- 28:19Speaker 4: You got it.
- 28:19Speaker 2: I shall research.
- 28:20Speaker 3: I shall research. All right.
- 28:22Speaker 2: Well, here. I think a lot of... Now, students in
- 28:25Speaker 2: Finland attend school only five hours daily with 15-minute break,
- 28:29Speaker 2: but still rank top in global education. Rapid fire. Okay.
- 28:35Speaker 2: Go ahead, Eddie.
- 28:37Speaker 4: Because they've... it's been learned that you can't sit people
- 28:42Speaker 4: in front of books and stuff like that for long
- 28:45Speaker 4: periods of time. You lose. I, I teach in the
- 28:49Speaker 4: business world. And if you teach for, if you lecture
- 28:53Speaker 4: or teach for more than an hour or two, you
- 28:55Speaker 4: start to lose them. And it's even worse with kids.
- 28:57Speaker 4: So I think that's the, that's the methodology that you need.
- 29:01Speaker 4: They need to move away from that full eight hour
- 29:04Speaker 4: day to something more like that. And if you even
- 29:07Speaker 4: look at the Asian, I think it's in Japan, they actually,
- 29:11Speaker 4: the kids don't start going to book learning until like
- 29:15Speaker 4: six or seven or maybe seven or eight. And before
- 29:18Speaker 4: then they learn how to cook clean and do all
- 29:22Speaker 4: the life skills that you need to be, I'll say
- 29:27Speaker 4: a productive person in society or just a productive person
- 29:30Speaker 4: in your house, let's say. Um, so I think, yeah, um,
- 29:36Speaker 4: I think there's a lot to be said about shortening
- 29:38Speaker 4: the school days. for the kids.
- 29:42Speaker 2: Thanks, Steve.
- 29:43Speaker 5: Yeah, it's all about quality, not quantity. I mean, look,
- 29:47Speaker 5: you can spend 10 hours a day in a schoolhouse,
- 29:52Speaker 5: but if you're not putting quality education in front of
- 29:56Speaker 5: the kids, they're not going to learn anything. So, you know,
- 29:59Speaker 5: obviously they've learned to cut the chap from the wheat and,
- 30:04Speaker 5: you know, they've stuck with what matters.
- 30:08Speaker 6: That's why they score so high.
- 30:10Speaker 5: And they probably throw it at them fast and furious,
- 30:14Speaker 5: which when people do that, you tend, you know, at
- 30:18Speaker 5: least that's when I was in school or even in
- 30:22Speaker 5: military schools or whatnot, when people are throwing stuff at
- 30:26Speaker 5: you fast and furious, tend to pay much closer attention
- 30:31Speaker 5: and you have much better attention. Yeah, absolutely. Good for them.
- 30:36Speaker 6: Good for the people in Finland.
- 30:38Speaker 2: All right, Jennifer.
- 30:40Speaker 3: I think our education, I mean, the way school transitioned
- 30:44Speaker 3: was into people who sit down and obey and do
- 30:47Speaker 3: factory work and, you know, go, like, it's meant to
- 30:51Speaker 3: build our education is meant to build people who obey
- 30:54Speaker 3: and go and get a government, you know, go and
- 30:57Speaker 3: get a job and they're under thumb. And I think
- 31:00Speaker 3: that people learn best when they're moving. Movement is very
- 31:04Speaker 3: important and we've taken everything to try to, we've lengthened
- 31:07Speaker 3: the school day to accommodate parents who both have to
- 31:11Speaker 3: work now since the eighties, when we thought quality time
- 31:14Speaker 3: was better than quantity time, which that was a huge
- 31:16Speaker 3: failure because then we ended up with what's that game
- 31:19Speaker 3: that everybody kills each other. Grand Theft Auto. Then we had,
- 31:24Speaker 3: then we had, then we had Columbine and everybody goes,
- 31:26Speaker 3: where did that come from? I'm like, I mean, you don't.
- 31:29Speaker 2: Yeah. Really?
- 31:30Speaker 4: I'm not flabbergasted.
- 31:31Speaker 3: Why are you, you know? And so, and I think
- 31:33Speaker 3: our education is, you know, there's ways that they can
- 31:37Speaker 3: do it. They still could do the hours that they
- 31:39Speaker 3: do to, to accommodate parents, so to say, but don't
- 31:43Speaker 3: have them sit the whole time. It's like get people
- 31:46Speaker 3: interactive and moving and in games and in teams and
- 31:49Speaker 3: in more things that build real skills like the cooking and,
- 31:53Speaker 3: All kinds of things. There's so much creativity that can
- 31:56Speaker 3: be done where you can teach math in cooking very easily.
- 32:00Speaker 3: You can teach chemistry in cooking very easily. Absolutely. There
- 32:06Speaker 3: was a show that my mom read. The book is
- 32:08Speaker 3: called Lessons in Chemistry. I watched the TV show. I
- 32:11Speaker 3: didn't know it was a book. And I was hoping
- 32:14Speaker 3: that they were going to carry it on into an
- 32:15Speaker 3: entire show. you know, like multiple seasons, but they just
- 32:19Speaker 3: did the book and then they ended. And I was like, man,
- 32:22Speaker 3: they could have taken that so many places because people
- 32:25Speaker 3: like me who can't cook, don't even understand the chemistry
- 32:30Speaker 3: of cooking. I'm like, I don't know how that happened.
- 32:33Speaker 3: I stuck it in the oven. It came out like this.
- 32:35Speaker 3: I know, you know, I've never mastered cooking. I thank
- 32:40Speaker 3: God that Costco does it all for me. And I
- 32:42Speaker 3: just have to go buy Trader Joe's or Costco. That's
- 32:45Speaker 3: how I get to eat.
- 32:45Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, there you go, Jan. I'm an awful cook.
- 32:48Speaker 2: Thank God Candy's a great cook.
- 32:50Speaker 4: Nice.
- 32:51Speaker 6: I do all the cooking in this house.
- 32:53Speaker 2: Oh, do you really?
- 32:53Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 32:54Speaker 2: Candy's a heck of a cook. I'll tell you, she
- 32:56Speaker 2: goes back to her mom's recipe and she can, I'll
- 32:59Speaker 2: tell you, that egg, old golden rod, whatever you call that,
- 33:02Speaker 2: is really one for the ages. All right, we'll turn
- 33:05Speaker 2: over to Candy. More topics to get to.
- 33:08Speaker 1: I think part of the problem is here in the
- 33:10Speaker 1: United States, we don't value education. We don't pay our
- 33:15Speaker 1: teachers for... For the most part, enough. I mean, they're
- 33:20Speaker 1: trying to mold the young kids that are going to
- 33:23Speaker 1: run the country later on when we're old and gray.
- 33:27Speaker 4: Absolutely.
- 33:29Speaker 1: And I think that with that being said, I also
- 33:31Speaker 1: think there needs to be some standard regiment for teachers
- 33:36Speaker 1: as well. Like I, we can't just say, Oh, I
- 33:39Speaker 1: should pay you $ 150, 000 a year. And then you don't like,
- 33:44Speaker 1: you're not a good teacher, you know, but, Until we
- 33:47Speaker 1: pay them more, it's not a flashy, it's not a
- 33:52Speaker 1: great job. Don't get me wrong. You have your summers off,
- 33:56Speaker 1: but you can't pick vacation. There are so many different,
- 34:01Speaker 1: and it depends on when you go to school. Let's
- 34:03Speaker 1: face it. There are some schools that are year round
- 34:06Speaker 1: that have breaks different times and all of that. But
- 34:10Speaker 1: I don't think we put enough of a value on education.
- 34:13Speaker 1: And I think that's partly part of the problem.
- 34:17Speaker 6: Well, we don't teach kids critical thinking.
- 34:21Speaker 1: Correct.
- 34:21Speaker 4: Right. Exactly.
- 34:22Speaker 6: You know, it's like, you know, that's the biggest thing.
- 34:27Speaker 6: I mean, you have, school should be where you teach
- 34:31Speaker 6: people to think.
- 34:32Speaker 3: How to think.
- 34:33Speaker 4: How to think.
- 34:33Speaker 3: You know, they've gone to what to think.
- 34:35Speaker 6: Things like we do.
- 34:36Speaker 4: We're going to tell it all to you.
- 34:37Speaker 3: We're going to corrupt your brain, which is what they're doing.
- 34:40Speaker 2: Right.
- 34:40Speaker 3: So many.
- 34:41Speaker 5: You know, and we don't do that. And that's why,
- 34:45Speaker 5: you know, our... education system to me is broken but
- 34:49Speaker 5: we could spend three.
- 34:50Speaker 2: Days on this right well we don't have that much time.
- 34:54Speaker 3: You could wind me up on this topic and i.
- 34:56Speaker 2: Don't have that much time i got a show afterwards
- 35:00Speaker 2: but let me give you a fast story about my
- 35:02Speaker 2: education days in college you know when i took my
- 35:05Speaker 2: hard classes during the summer because i didn't want to
- 35:08Speaker 2: drag them out over 16 weeks by getting close give
- 35:12Speaker 2: me your best stuff during the summer i can get
- 35:14Speaker 2: a neck out of the way And then I'll deal
- 35:16Speaker 2: with the other stuff later. All right. Anyways, Jen, you
- 35:19Speaker 2: have a great segue to where I'm going when you
- 35:22Speaker 2: mentioned the word brain. You know why? Because I'm going
- 35:24Speaker 2: to tell you this. Dolphins are now experiencing Alzheimer's disease
- 35:28Speaker 2: as ocean pollution is changing their brain forever. Now, let
- 35:32Speaker 2: me preface this. I'm not talking about the Miami Dolphins.
- 35:36Speaker 2: Are you sure? No, not really. But I'm sure enough
- 35:42Speaker 2: to say that I am. You took the right life
- 35:45Speaker 2: singer there. Let me bring this down to reality. I
- 35:48Speaker 2: don't think there's such a reality with this topic anyway.
- 35:51Speaker 2: Alzheimer's symptoms and pollution, ocean pollution is changing their brains forever. Okay, Annie,
- 35:58Speaker 2: this is loaded. No wonder these topics are good. Tell
- 36:01Speaker 2: me what you think of this one.
- 36:04Speaker 4: Well, it just goes to show you we're polluting our
- 36:08Speaker 4: oceans way too much through the crap we're putting into it.
- 36:11Speaker 4: And if if nobody, if people don't believe that climate
- 36:14Speaker 4: change is real, the fact that we have a tangible, no,
- 36:18Speaker 4: an animal that is some would say smarter than most
- 36:22Speaker 4: humans out there suffering from Alzheimer's and getting it from
- 36:27Speaker 4: what's going on. I mean, I think this has to
- 36:30Speaker 4: be another thing that we is, we as human beings
- 36:35Speaker 4: on this planet have to wake up and really take seriously.
- 36:39Speaker 4: And no, it's, it's, it's disgusting that we're the ones
- 36:45Speaker 4: doing it to them.
- 36:47Speaker 2: Okay. Hey, Steve.
- 36:51Speaker 6: Yeah, that's very sad. And now, you know, I was
- 36:54Speaker 6: going to make a smart-ass joke.
- 36:56Speaker 2: Well, go ahead.
- 36:57Speaker 6: About the Miami Dolphins.
- 36:59Speaker 2: No, everybody else did. A lot of people think they're
- 37:02Speaker 2: going to go 0-17.
- 37:03Speaker 5: Well, you know, I'm a Patriots fan, so I automatically,
- 37:06Speaker 5: you know, I was kind of hoping that's what you
- 37:09Speaker 5: were talking about. No, it's sad to hear that dolphins
- 37:15Speaker 5: are now suffering from the way we pollute the oceans
- 37:18Speaker 5: because they're not polluting anything. And dolphins are so cool
- 37:23Speaker 5: next to penguins. They're probably my favorite thing in the ocean,
- 37:28Speaker 5: you know, because I have a great affinity for both
- 37:31Speaker 5: of those. And, you know, I actually, you know, got
- 37:37Speaker 5: to feed the dolphins at one time. So that was
- 37:39Speaker 5: kind of cool. But I'm so sad to hear that.
- 37:43Speaker 5: I mean, I would love to know how they know.
- 37:46Speaker 2: That, but I don't know. I am too. They're friendly animals,
- 37:52Speaker 2: but the bottom line is I have to report this stuff.
- 37:56Speaker 2: Did they forget their, like, pod mates or whatever.
- 38:04Speaker 3: I mean, they probably had some, you know, strange behavior
- 38:07Speaker 3: and maybe they were getting lost on the way home
- 38:09Speaker 3: or couldn't decide which pod, you know, they're probably following them.
- 38:11Speaker 3: What's wrong with these ones?
- 38:13Speaker 4: And, you know, if they, and when they pass away, they, they,
- 38:16Speaker 4: you know, if they pass away in some kind of
- 38:18Speaker 4: not typical manner, they may do some kind of autopsy
- 38:21Speaker 4: because a lot of times, at least, you know, in
- 38:24Speaker 4: what my dad had, you know, you can't really diagnose
- 38:27Speaker 4: any of this until, you know, Afterwards, when, you know, they... Oh, post-mortem. Yeah.
- 38:35Speaker 4: We actually donated my dad's... Donated my dad's mind, brain, whatever. Yeah.
- 38:44Speaker 4: And they confirmed... And, you know, we got the report back,
- 38:46Speaker 4: and they confirmed it, which, you know... But anyway, that's
- 38:50Speaker 4: what I think. Sorry, I stole Jen. I'm stealing her time.
- 38:54Speaker 3: No, you're good. Oh, is it my turn?
- 38:56Speaker 2: Yeah, you're up.
- 38:56Speaker 5: You're up.
- 38:57Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think we're polluting everything, and it's
- 39:01Speaker 3: coming back on us big time everywhere from every place
- 39:05Speaker 3: and every way, and it is past time to address
- 39:09Speaker 3: all the pollution. You know, it's interesting because a lot
- 39:12Speaker 3: of people– You know, they dump their their pills, their
- 39:16Speaker 3: old pills that they don't want anymore. And they flush
- 39:18Speaker 3: them down the toilet thinking they're doing a good thing.
- 39:20Speaker 3: And that's contributing to a lot of this. You know,
- 39:23Speaker 3: those poor animals are subjected to everything that we dump
- 39:27Speaker 3: into the ocean. That's their home. And we're taking that.
- 39:31Speaker 3: That's their, that's their air.
- 39:32Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
- 39:33Speaker 3: That's the, that's everything they breathe. That's everything they drink
- 39:36Speaker 3: and eat and everything. Like that's what we end up
- 39:38Speaker 3: eating too. So it's not that it stops with the dolphins.
- 39:41Speaker 3: It goes full circle and it, and it's coming back
- 39:43Speaker 3: around and we see all of this and, you know, they,
- 39:46Speaker 3: they took that, um, there was a, I think I
- 39:49Speaker 3: talked about this before, I'm not sure, but there was
- 39:50Speaker 3: a sewage company, right? Like there were multiple big sewage
- 39:53Speaker 3: companies and they, and then when they purify the water
- 39:56Speaker 3: so that it could be reclaimed water for watering, you know,
- 40:00Speaker 3: vegetation and stuff, they had all the sludge leftover. Well,
- 40:04Speaker 3: that sludge is from bathroom, right? And they ended up
- 40:07Speaker 3: selling that to organic farms. And then those organic farms
- 40:12Speaker 3: then were out of compliance of organic compliance because they,
- 40:17Speaker 3: They had forever chemicals. They had plastic. They had drugs galore.
- 40:23Speaker 3: Drugs were like astronomical. I eat organic. I pay to
- 40:27Speaker 3: eat organic and I was paying. So I could have.
- 40:31Speaker 3: Toilet sludge is my fertilizer. I mean, I know fertilizers
- 40:35Speaker 3: poop to begin with, but I didn't want it to
- 40:36Speaker 3: have the forever chemicals in the. microplastics and other people's
- 40:40Speaker 3: drugs and everything else. I mean, it's like astronomical. Everybody
- 40:43Speaker 3: goes to the bathroom, even if you're a drug addict,
- 40:45Speaker 3: and guess where it ends up, you know? And so
- 40:48Speaker 3: we're polluting everything and everyone, and it is definitely time
- 40:51Speaker 3: that we need to end that. Candy, it's to you.
- 40:53Speaker 2: Thanks, Jen. There you go.
- 40:55Speaker 1: Study, actually, which included scientists from the University of Miami
- 41:02Speaker 1: Miller School of Medicine and Hubbs SeaWorld Research Institute Brain
- 41:07Speaker 1: Chemistry Labs, the University of Miami's Rosensteel School of Marine, Atmospheric,
- 41:14Speaker 1: and Earth Science, and Blue World Research Institute found that
- 41:18Speaker 1: dolphins exposed to the harmful algae blooms carried high levels
- 41:23Speaker 1: of a toxin in their brains and showed warning signs
- 41:27Speaker 1: of neurodegeneration. It's the study is the first... one of
- 41:33Speaker 1: the first to connect the neurotoxins found in these blooms
- 41:36Speaker 1: directly to brain changes associated with Alzheimer's-like disease in wild
- 41:41Speaker 1: marine mammal. They said not only is it, it also
- 41:46Speaker 1: illustrates how warm water and nutrient pollution fuel these blooms,
- 41:53Speaker 1: which impact the wildlife health. So those that have been
- 41:57Speaker 1: talking about climate change and global warming, that's also contributing
- 42:02Speaker 1: to it because the algae and the blooms and all that.
- 42:08Speaker 1: But yeah, they talk a little bit more about it,
- 42:10Speaker 1: that they watch their behavior and stuff like that. And
- 42:14Speaker 1: that they saw higher levels. I thought I saw a
- 42:18Speaker 1: protein and stuff like that. It was just interesting. They
- 42:22Speaker 1: said it, Also, during bloom season, when this algae blooms
- 42:27Speaker 1: during that season, that's when they see them more and
- 42:30Speaker 1: see the symptoms more. It says during bloom season, stranded
- 42:35Speaker 1: dolphins were found to have 2,900 times more of the
- 42:41Speaker 1: toxin in their brains compared to dolphins stranded outside of
- 42:45Speaker 1: bloom season. And it's including abnormal protein buildup. and shift
- 42:53Speaker 1: in key genes linked to memory, brain health, and Alzheimer's
- 42:58Speaker 1: disease risk.
- 43:01Speaker 2: Okay, all I'm going to say about this is this.
- 43:05Speaker 2: I'm an Alzheimer's patient, or I have it. Now, I
- 43:09Speaker 2: can joke around about the dolphins, because I know they're
- 43:13Speaker 2: never going to figure it out in my life. Bless you.
- 43:14Speaker 1: One of the reasons I brought this topic is this.
- 43:22Speaker 2: Alzheimer's is a disease you take seriously. When you find
- 43:25Speaker 2: out that it hits an animal such as a dolphin,
- 43:29Speaker 2: it is real on many levels. And this topic divulges
- 43:34Speaker 2: the vulnerability of that particular animal because dolphins and humans
- 43:37Speaker 2: get along really, really well. And it's just sad to
- 43:41Speaker 2: see it. Okay, we'll leave it at that. A lot
- 43:44Speaker 2: more topics to get to. We're doing pretty well.
- 43:46Speaker 4: Hopefully you have a more upbeat topic for the next
- 43:50Speaker 4: one there. That was a little bit of a Debbie downer.
- 43:54Speaker 4: It could be a little bit of a Debbie, even
- 43:56Speaker 4: if it's weird.
- 43:57Speaker 2: I don't even know. I just go out there and
- 44:01Speaker 2: put them out there. Let me all do this.
- 44:06Speaker 6: Let's go.
- 44:07Speaker 2: You tell me if this is upbeat or more informative
- 44:09Speaker 2: because this isn't something to mess around with considering who
- 44:12Speaker 2: we have in The Oval Office, if everybody understands who
- 44:16Speaker 2: I'm talking about without getting political. So let's talk about
- 44:20Speaker 2: it anyway. Ten safest places on Earth during World War III. Oh, goodness. Switzerland,
- 44:28Speaker 2: neutral for 200 years. Mountainous terrain has enough nuclear bunkers
- 44:33Speaker 2: to shelter its entire population. Bhutan, B-H-U-T-A-N, declared permanent neutrality
- 44:42Speaker 2: in 1971. Surrounded by mountains, no country has a reason
- 44:47Speaker 2: to attack it. Let's keep it rolling. New Zealand, ranked
- 44:51Speaker 2: number two on Global Peace Index. Remote southern location, mountains, farmland,
- 44:58Speaker 2: and zero enemies. Nice place to be. Antarctica, probably too
- 45:01Speaker 2: cold to even try anything up there anyway. But no government,
- 45:04Speaker 2: no borders, no enemies. thousands of miles from every nuclear
- 45:08Speaker 2: warhead on Earth, just ice and survival. I knew I
- 45:12Speaker 2: was onto something. Okay. Indonesia declared it will never take
- 45:17Speaker 2: sides in any war. 17,000 islands, nearly impossible to invade
- 45:21Speaker 2: or occupy. Makes a whole lot of sense. Argentina. Boy,
- 45:25Speaker 2: Argentina comes up on a lot of topics tonight. Argentina, people,
- 45:30Speaker 2: produces enough wheat to feed itself during nuclear winter. Far
- 45:36Speaker 2: from every conflict zone on Earth. Fiji, I think it's called. 2,700
- 45:43Speaker 2: miles from the nearest country. Yeah, I can't imagine anything's
- 45:46Speaker 2: going to hit a debt bar. Debt force and rich
- 45:49Speaker 2: fishing scores high on Global Peace Index. Greenland. Oh, I
- 45:54Speaker 2: need to get to that place. I've heard some pretty
- 45:56Speaker 2: cool stuff about that joint. Population of just 56,000. No
- 46:01Speaker 2: military value. So remote. And no superpowers. Would ever waste
- 46:06Speaker 2: a missile on it. Chile! 4,000 miles long, rich in
- 46:11Speaker 2: crops and resources, most advanced infrastructure in South America, far
- 46:17Speaker 2: from all wars. And yes, one of my favorite countries
- 46:20Speaker 2: of all time is, you guessed it, Iceland. Never fought
- 46:24Speaker 2: a modern war, number one on the global peace index,
- 46:27Speaker 2: isolated island with no military threat. All right, let's go
- 46:32Speaker 2: to the scoreboard, okay? And let's find out from Steve
- 46:35Speaker 2: Ballesteri what he would talk about this list.
- 46:39Speaker 6: Oh, it goes to Ed first.
- 46:41Speaker 2: Oh, that's right.
- 46:42Speaker 4: I'm sorry.
- 46:42Speaker 2: Go ahead, Ed.
- 46:44Speaker 4: I thought you were jumping to Steve because he's the
- 46:46Speaker 4: military expert.
- 46:47Speaker 2: Well, actually, that's probably why I did it. But go ahead.
- 46:49Speaker 4: All right. But Steve threw it back to me. Since
- 46:53Speaker 4: I am literally 40 miles from D.C., unless I'm out
- 46:58Speaker 4: here way in advance, I'm dust.
- 47:00Speaker 2: You'll glow.
- 47:04Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, it's your Catholic Ash Wednesday. Man, you
- 47:08Speaker 4: are a dust, but dust you shall return. No. What
- 47:15Speaker 4: is the question? Where do we want to go? What
- 47:17Speaker 4: do we think of these places?
- 47:19Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, most of these are like the 10 safest.
- 47:22Speaker 4: If I want to go to... If I want to
- 47:25Speaker 4: go somewhere, I might go to New Zealand because, you know,
- 47:29Speaker 4: that's like at the bottom of the world. Or.
- 47:33Speaker 4: Going back to our Argentina conversation, if they're really going
- 47:37Speaker 4: to be out of it, I'm going to go down there,
- 47:39Speaker 4: eat steak, drink red wine, and just be like a
- 47:43Speaker 4: pig in new slop and just watch them all kill
- 47:47Speaker 4: each other. But just as a side note, my own
- 47:51Speaker 4: personal opinion is that I don't think we'll ever go
- 47:56Speaker 4: to nuclear war because it's just the end of the
- 48:00Speaker 4: world as we know it. But I think it's what
- 48:04Speaker 4: it is, is it's like you see in the movies,
- 48:06Speaker 4: all the gangsters are in the conference room and they
- 48:10Speaker 4: all get pissed off at each other and they all
- 48:12Speaker 4: pull their guns and they're all pointing at one another.
- 48:17Speaker 4: Just my, you know, just kind of my thing. That's
- 48:19Speaker 4: helpful thinking, right? That's what makes me sleep at night.
- 48:24Speaker 4: It makes me sleep at night. Knowing some of the
- 48:26Speaker 4: people who have the finger on the trigger. Steve, you're up.
- 48:31Speaker 6: Well, uh, I'm with you, Argentina or Chile, you.
- 48:35Speaker 5: Know, you, you have the ocean, you have the end,
- 48:38Speaker 5: you know, you have the mountains, you have, uh, I'm
- 48:43Speaker 5: ending supply of terrific wine, beef, sign me up there, coach.
- 48:50Speaker 6: I mean, you know, um, and, and you're right. They,
- 48:54Speaker 6: they don't have enemies. I, I'd be a little leery
- 48:57Speaker 6: about New Zealand.
- 48:59Speaker 5: Um, Because, you know, if if the balloon does go up,
- 49:05Speaker 5: I think the Chinese, you.
- 49:07Speaker 6: Know, they're going to get involved. Right. And yeah, I
- 49:10Speaker 6: don't think.
- 49:11Speaker 5: They have any enduring love for people in Australia or
- 49:15Speaker 5: New Zealand.
- 49:16Speaker 6: So I'd be a little leery there. Iceland, of course.
- 49:20Speaker 5: But, you know, after nuclear winter, do I want to
- 49:24Speaker 5: be living in Iceland? I'm not so sure about that.
- 49:28Speaker 5: You know, I mean, a beautiful place. But, you know,
- 49:31Speaker 5: you have to wonder what the aftermath is going to
- 49:34Speaker 5: look like. And, you know, that that might be a
- 49:38Speaker 5: little confusing.
- 49:40Speaker 6: Iffy there. Fiji is a place I've always wanted to go.
- 49:44Speaker 5: And, um, but there wouldn't be a whole lot of
- 49:47Speaker 5: room for anybody there to go after the balloon goes up. Um,
- 49:52Speaker 5: you know, most every place in the United States would
- 49:56Speaker 5: be a little bit of a glowing aura to it. So, uh,
- 50:02Speaker 5: because everybody in the world will be shooting their nukes
- 50:04Speaker 5: at us. So, yeah, you know, um, I don't know.
- 50:10Speaker 5: I'm opting for... We're on the Argentina kick tonight, right?
- 50:16Speaker 5: I'm opting for Argentina and Chile. We're sailing a boat down.
- 50:21Speaker 2: There, Scott. You know it, brother. I'll tell you what, though.
- 50:25Speaker 2: You and Rob and And Candy, and we'll even bring
- 50:28Speaker 2: Jen in there just because we're talking about this. Thank you.
- 50:31Speaker 3: Thank you.
- 50:32Speaker 2: Thank you for bringing us along.
- 50:34Speaker 6: Appreciate it.
- 50:36Speaker 4: Wait a minute.
- 50:37Speaker 6: Wait.
- 50:38Speaker 4: I appreciate it.
- 50:39Speaker 2: Wait, we'll have our own version of, let me finish.
- 50:42Speaker 2: We'll have our own version of Gilligan's Island here with
- 50:44Speaker 2: all of us and spouses included. All right, go ahead, Jen.
- 50:49Speaker 3: That I can do.
- 50:50Speaker 4: Right?
- 50:50Speaker 3: It sounds like the best option, Candy, right?
- 50:52Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 50:54Speaker 3: I was thinking of our own Noah's Ark, but you know, whichever.
- 50:58Speaker 3: I don't know. I think that's going to be really
- 51:00Speaker 3: the only safe place to be out at sea somewhere.
- 51:03Speaker 3: I don't know, but we're all going to be breathing
- 51:04Speaker 3: the same air. I don't think it's going to matter.
- 51:06Speaker 3: I did learn during COVID that I am not the
- 51:08Speaker 3: one who fights well, so I better hoard well. So
- 51:11Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know that I want to
- 51:15Speaker 3: actually survive. I think I'd rather blow up quickly, which,
- 51:20Speaker 3: you know, seems like the easier, more sane method, but
- 51:22Speaker 3: Did you say the Balinese islands? Did you say Bali?
- 51:27Speaker 2: Fiji. Fiji.
- 51:28Speaker 4: Oh, okay.
- 51:29Speaker 3: Because I was like, I remember they were blowing up
- 51:31Speaker 3: Bali when I was over there. They don't have no,
- 51:34Speaker 3: they do have the Muslim country. So anyway, I was
- 51:39Speaker 3: thinking New Zealand, but then I was thinking, gosh, there's
- 51:41Speaker 3: cannibals there. And, you know, if we start overpopulating New Zealand.
- 51:45Speaker 6: And that's where they filmed Lord of the Rings. So
- 51:47Speaker 6: the Ayasara might come back.
- 51:50Speaker 4: Oh my God. Yeah, exactly.
- 51:51Speaker 2: There you go.
- 51:51Speaker 6: Good point.
- 51:52Speaker 3: And then Argentina and Chile. I was thinking Chile would
- 51:56Speaker 3: be actually pretty awesome. My sister-in-law is from Chile. We
- 52:01Speaker 3: have the most colorful family. We've got somebody from everywhere.
- 52:03Speaker 3: That's awesome.
- 52:05Speaker 4: I like it.
- 52:07Speaker 6: Because you get all the best.
- 52:09Speaker 4: Food from everyone.
- 52:10Speaker 3: We do. We ask all the questions.
- 52:13Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
- 52:13Speaker 4: What are you bringing for the family potluck? Exactly. Yeah.
- 52:22Speaker 3: That is one time I do.
- 52:25Speaker 4: Jen was just going to, Oh yeah, I really did
- 52:27Speaker 4: make this. And it comes. Yeah.
- 52:30Speaker 3: I made it. I made it go from this box.
- 52:38Speaker 4: Got her to Vala oven now going on.
- 52:41Speaker 3: I don't know though. I think, I think definitely the
- 52:45Speaker 3: Chilean Argentina, the New Zealand was sounding appealing until I
- 52:49Speaker 3: realized about the cannibals and whatnot. And I just think,
- 52:52Speaker 3: I don't know. You know, there's a time to die
- 52:54Speaker 3: and I'm Christian. So I do believe that I'm coming
- 52:57Speaker 3: back to a better world anyway. So I don't think
- 52:59Speaker 3: I have any qualms about dying. I have more qualms
- 53:02Speaker 3: about suffering. And so, yeah. Candy.
- 53:07Speaker 2: All right, Candy.
- 53:09Speaker 1: So, Ed, to your point, Scott and I live 29
- 53:14Speaker 1: miles away from Mar-a-Lago. So if they're going to come
- 53:17Speaker 1: after our current, we're in trouble.
- 53:20Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 53:21Speaker 1: But, Scott, did you say Switzerland? Yeah, I thought Switzerland.
- 53:26Speaker 1: Because I found a list that has Switzerland.
- 53:28Speaker 2: Not too much research, Katie. I'm running out of time.
- 53:30Speaker 2: Unless you want to take over the production here. But
- 53:33Speaker 2: give it to me anyway.
- 53:33Speaker 1: Well, if you're going to interrupt me, you're going to
- 53:35Speaker 1: take half my time with your interruptions.
- 53:37Speaker 2: I'm done. Go ahead.
- 53:38Speaker 1: So, in Switzerland, it features an extensive advanced network of
- 53:44Speaker 1: underground fallout shelters that were built to accommodate its entire population.
- 53:52Speaker 4: Wow.
- 53:53Speaker 1: I'll go hide down there for a while.
- 53:56Speaker 2: Well, you know what? I've been volunteered already for Argentina,
- 54:00Speaker 2: and so have you. So we already put that one in.
- 54:03Speaker 2: So I'd like to go to Iceland and Antarctica. There's
- 54:06Speaker 2: a too darn cold to attack us up there, and
- 54:08Speaker 2: they won't last long.
- 54:09Speaker 1: All right.
- 54:10Speaker 3: I noticed all the places were cold except for New Zealand.
- 54:12Speaker 6: Actually, New Zealand can be cold, too.
- 54:15Speaker 2: See, now Jennifer missed out on the Lions, you know...
- 54:21Speaker 2: having Labor Day a lot, you know, day to speak.
- 54:24Speaker 2: But you won't miss out on this one because you
- 54:26Speaker 2: know what? We're going to talk about human versus animal pregnancy, people. Oh,
- 54:31Speaker 2: this ought to get your attention. You already got it.
- 54:34Speaker 2: So for a human, you're talking nine months. If you're
- 54:39Speaker 2: looking at an elephant, you're looking at 22 months. Boy,
- 54:42Speaker 2: they're big. You wouldn't know if they're pregnant anyway. And
- 54:44Speaker 2: then you have a dog, 63 days, two months. A rabbit.
- 54:49Speaker 2: 30 days, one month. A horse, hello, I'm Mr. S. No,
- 54:55Speaker 2: I'm really not. I'm Mr. Scott, whatever you want to
- 54:58Speaker 2: call me. 335 days, 11 months. A cat, 64 days,
- 55:01Speaker 2: two months. And then last but not least, you have
- 55:06Speaker 2: a cow, 283 days, nine months. So how did they
- 55:10Speaker 2: figure out cow, the 283 days and nine months? and
- 55:14Speaker 2: human 280 days and nine months. Somehow that doesn't make
- 55:17Speaker 2: a lot of sense to me.
- 55:18Speaker 6: Three days.
- 55:20Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know.
- 55:22Speaker 2: Whatever. Language is what it is, but that's comparing and
- 55:25Speaker 2: contrasting the circle of life in a much far different
- 55:30Speaker 2: way than you would expect on any other show but
- 55:32Speaker 2: this one. Go ahead, Eddie.
- 55:35Speaker 4: Well, it's my understanding that the only way a woman
- 55:37Speaker 4: can truly understand a man going through an illness is
- 55:43Speaker 4: by being pregnant. But no, anyway, hi, Chess. Yeah, it's
- 55:56Speaker 4: interesting that, what was it, 63 days for the dog
- 56:00Speaker 4: and the cat, I think you said? And it's funny,
- 56:03Speaker 4: I think out of all the animals you mentioned, those
- 56:08Speaker 4: are the only ones that I believe would have multiple births.
- 56:12Speaker 6: The bunnies.
- 56:14Speaker 4: Oh, the bunnies too, the bunnies, yeah.
- 56:16Speaker 2: But yeah.
- 56:16Speaker 4: And then, I mean, you do multiple births and you
- 56:19Speaker 4: know what, that's two months and change give or take
- 56:22Speaker 4: in the 63 days. And then like the elephants carrying
- 56:25Speaker 4: a cat, I think they call them like elephants or calves,
- 56:28Speaker 4: I believe. Um, for what? 200 days plus?
- 56:35Speaker 3: No, two years, almost two years.
- 56:36Speaker 4: Oh, is it two years? Oh, okay.
- 56:38Speaker 1: 18 months to 22 months.
- 56:39Speaker 4: Yep. Oh, eight.
- 56:40Speaker 2: Oh, okay.
- 56:41Speaker 4: That's yeah. All right. I, I heard it wrong. Yeah, that, yeah.
- 56:45Speaker 4: God bless the mama elephants. And God, you know, and all,
- 56:49Speaker 4: I mean, the horses, the cows that, you know, they,
- 56:53Speaker 4: you know, they are just, you know, they, you know, they've,
- 56:59Speaker 4: I can't imagine whether, you know, being female, carrying a
- 57:04Speaker 4: child for nine months or an animal. That's, that's a,
- 57:11Speaker 4: that's a gift from God. That's all I can say.
- 57:14Speaker 2: Okay, go ahead, Steve.
- 57:16Speaker 5: Yeah, I was surprised that the horse was 11 months.
- 57:21Speaker 5: I didn't realize. I thought it was a lot shorter
- 57:24Speaker 5: gestation period there. Other than that, no big shockers there.
- 57:29Speaker 5: I mean, you know, the elephant, poor mama elephant. I mean,
- 57:35Speaker 5: God bless.
- 57:37Speaker 6: Yeah. Then you give birth to, like, what, a 750-pound kid?
- 57:40Speaker 4: Exactly.
- 57:43Speaker 3: The poor mama elephant.
- 57:45Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.
- 57:47Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 57:48Speaker 3: They're not doing cesarean for her.
- 57:50Speaker 2: Where would you start?
- 57:53Speaker 3: She's birthing that baby.
- 57:55Speaker 4: Standing up. Coming out of the canal, right?
- 57:59Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 58:00Speaker 3: And she goes back to picking rice in the corner.
- 58:02Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean, I've seen video of giraffes giving birth, too.
- 58:09Speaker 4: I mean, that's kind of a crazy thing with as
- 58:11Speaker 4: big as it is. Yes.
- 58:12Speaker 1: Right?
- 58:13Speaker 3: They fall. They fall far.
- 58:14Speaker 4: Yes. Okay.
- 58:16Speaker 3: They're welcome to life.
- 58:17Speaker 4: Ba-boom! Yeah, exactly.
- 58:19Speaker 3: Exactly. Is it to me? Are you done, Steve?
- 58:25Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 58:26Speaker 3: You know, they say women are like cats and men
- 58:28Speaker 3: are like dogs. Both of them were only pregnant two months. Apparently,
- 58:32Speaker 3: my ex was a dog and I am the cat
- 58:34Speaker 3: because none of mine kept cooking past two months, but
- 58:36Speaker 3: I didn't end up with a baby. So there's partly
- 58:39Speaker 3: the problem. My body didn't know I was a human
- 58:41Speaker 3: instead of a cat. I'm surprised you didn't talk about
- 58:47Speaker 3: guinea pigs. My friend was raising them and I think they,
- 58:49Speaker 3: it felt like they were pregnant for hours before they
- 58:51Speaker 3: birthed another one. Like that was like, they're like bunnies,
- 58:55Speaker 3: but on steroids, I think even bunnies are insane. I
- 58:58Speaker 3: think if I were to choose, I'd rather be like
- 59:00Speaker 3: a bunny. I don't know. Bunny's awfully quick. You know,
- 59:03Speaker 3: there's not enough nesting time. Certainly the the dog or
- 59:06Speaker 3: the cat time period is a little bit better i
- 59:08Speaker 3: notice there's it's either like boom you get pregnant you
- 59:11Speaker 3: have a have a you know a kid or a
- 59:13Speaker 3: litter right away or you're cooking in gestation for quite
- 59:16Speaker 3: a while and uh back to back to a steve
- 59:19Speaker 3: with those poor poor mama elephants candy it's too.
- 59:23Speaker 1: I mean the shortest is the virginia opossum pregnancy of
- 59:26Speaker 1: just 12 days.
- 59:28Speaker 6: Oh gosh oh wow Now you know why possums look
- 59:31Speaker 6: like that.
- 59:35Speaker 3: Why they're so mean.
- 59:37Speaker 2: All these damn kids.
- 59:41Speaker 1: But yeah, who would, who would have guessed? I, um, uh,
- 59:45Speaker 1: I've seen cows being, um, born. I've seen horses. I've
- 59:50Speaker 1: seen dogs. Um, ironically, even though I have cats, I've
- 59:55Speaker 1: never seen a cat being born, but yeah. Um, I
- 59:59Speaker 1: don't know, nine months is long enough. I can't imagine,
- 1:00:02Speaker 1: you know, two years.
- 1:00:03Speaker 2: Okay. Let's talk about our featured topic of the night. Hey, Bruce,
- 1:00:09Speaker 2: marketability was incredible. And why was it incredible? Because obviously
- 1:00:17Speaker 2: drew massive crowds, increasing MLB revenue. Excuse me.
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: Bless you.
- 1:00:25Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 1:00:26Speaker 4: Bless you.
- 1:00:27Speaker 2: Babe Ruth's larger than life persona. a record-breaking piece of
- 1:00:30Speaker 2: baseball popularity, helping it recover from the 1919 Black Sox
- 1:00:36Speaker 2: scandal and cementing its status as America's pastime. Ruth's 1919
- 1:00:43Speaker 2: single-season home run record of 29 with the Red Sox
- 1:00:48Speaker 2: was more than teams hit that year, revolutionizing baseball's power-hitting era.
- 1:00:55Speaker 2: He was the first player to consistently hit home runs
- 1:00:58Speaker 2: and a page that redefined offensive expectations, inspiring future sluggers
- 1:01:04Speaker 2: and leading to changes in ballpark designs to accommodate power hitters.
- 1:01:09Speaker 2: Babe Ruth transformed baseball from a low-scoring, strategy-heavy game to
- 1:01:16Speaker 2: a power-lifting spectacle, ushering in the live ball era with
- 1:01:21Speaker 2: his unprecedented home run totals and On August 16th, 1948,
- 1:01:27Speaker 2: Babe Ruth passed away. All right, let's go with you.
- 1:01:30Speaker 2: This is a good sports topic for us, Eddie. You know,
- 1:01:33Speaker 2: get on baseball much. What are your thoughts about the
- 1:01:36Speaker 2: legacy of Babe Ruth, per se?
- 1:01:39Speaker 4: Babe Ruth was the foundation of what baseball is and
- 1:01:43Speaker 4: everything that came after it. He also, you know, if
- 1:01:47Speaker 4: I'm not mistaken, he was also a smoker and a drinker.
- 1:01:51Speaker 4: He proved that you don't necessarily have to be athletic
- 1:01:54Speaker 4: to play baseball. No shot. I mean, I come from
- 1:01:56Speaker 4: a baseball family.
- 1:01:57Speaker 6: My two brothers, my dad played it, so.
- 1:01:59Speaker 4: It's kind of like I'm allowed to take shots at
- 1:02:01Speaker 4: baseball like that because what are they going to do? Anyway, no,
- 1:02:06Speaker 4: but seriously, I think he was, like you said, the
- 1:02:10Speaker 4: Black Sox. If you've ever watched Eight Men Out, great
- 1:02:12Speaker 4: movie about the Black Sox, it was a real black
- 1:02:19Speaker 4: eye at baseball. And we've had baseball. It's one of
- 1:02:24Speaker 4: those kind of things, and then Babe Ruth came and
- 1:02:28Speaker 4: kind of revitalized it, and he was also a big
- 1:02:33Speaker 4: man for his time, if I recall, like size-wise. Men
- 1:02:38Speaker 4: weren't giants like they are today, so he was bigger.
- 1:02:42Speaker 4: He was kind of larger than life, so great for
- 1:02:45Speaker 4: the sport, and he'll live on forever.
- 1:02:52Speaker 6: Steve.
- 1:02:53Speaker 2: Steve.
- 1:02:54Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, he was a larger-than-life character, both on
- 1:02:58Speaker 5: and off the field. I mean, you know, everyone gravitated
- 1:03:02Speaker 5: toward him. He was like a, you know, what we
- 1:03:06Speaker 5: would call an influencer today before there was such a thing.
- 1:03:11Speaker 5: You know, because everything he did, you know, people wanted
- 1:03:15Speaker 5: to emulate, both on and off the field. And there's
- 1:03:18Speaker 5: so many great stories about him and his... You know,
- 1:03:25Speaker 5: he was fueled by hot dogs, beer, and good scotch whiskey. So,
- 1:03:29Speaker 5: you know, one of the stories that I loved was
- 1:03:32Speaker 5: the Yankees were in an extra inning game. And, you know,
- 1:03:39Speaker 5: both teams were kind of running out of pitchers and whatnot.
- 1:03:43Speaker 5: And they said, Ruth had a Coca-Cola bottle that was
- 1:03:47Speaker 5: filled with scotch, took a big, long tug, and he
- 1:03:50Speaker 5: patted the manager.
- 1:03:51Speaker 6: On the head and said, don't worry. The game ends here.
- 1:03:54Speaker 6: Anyone else hit a home.
- 1:03:58Speaker 4: Run?
- 1:03:58Speaker 5: I just love that story, you know, and yeah, you know,
- 1:04:03Speaker 5: because he was that's I mean, that's what baseball needed. And,
- 1:04:07Speaker 5: you know, you had guys like Ty Cobb, who was
- 1:04:10Speaker 5: a tremendous baseball player, but he wasn't a very nice person. And,
- 1:04:15Speaker 5: you know, he didn't resonate with the fans like Root did.
- 1:04:21Speaker 5: You know, which was unfair to Cobb because he was,
- 1:04:24Speaker 5: I think he was one of the greatest ballplayers to
- 1:04:27Speaker 5: ever play the game. Ruth, you know, hits the power
- 1:04:31Speaker 5: and people love that stuff. I mean, even today, I mean,
- 1:04:35Speaker 5: you know, everyone wants to see the big home run hitters.
- 1:04:39Speaker 3: I mean, that's where the excitement is. Sorry, go ahead.
- 1:04:42Speaker 2: I'm a Detroit guy. I'm going to favor Cobb all
- 1:04:44Speaker 2: day long with Ruth, but let me give Ruth this
- 1:04:46Speaker 2: much credit. Any guy that can call his own shot
- 1:04:48Speaker 2: is incredible. And if you didn't know this, Ty Cobb
- 1:04:52Speaker 2: had more votes in the initial Hall of Fame voting
- 1:04:55Speaker 2: than Babe Ruth. So, Steve, that validates your point. Jen,
- 1:04:58Speaker 2: go ahead.
- 1:05:00Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he set the bar. He gave people
- 1:05:03Speaker 3: something to compete against, and I think it wasn't really until...
- 1:05:06Speaker 3: I mean, there's certainly a lot of great baseball people
- 1:05:08Speaker 3: all along, but Babe Ruth is just the King, you know?
- 1:05:13Speaker 3: And then we had the Sammy Sosa. Uh, what was
- 1:05:15Speaker 3: the other guy's name?
- 1:05:16Speaker 4: Mark.
- 1:05:17Speaker 3: Yeah. And that was the time when they were like,
- 1:05:20Speaker 3: that's the only time, like, I remember them comparing, like
- 1:05:22Speaker 3: they're going to break the records. And then it was
- 1:05:24Speaker 3: like all about the steroids and everything else, you know,
- 1:05:26Speaker 3: and whatever. And the juicing, but, um, I just think
- 1:05:29Speaker 3: Babe Ruth is iconic and he deserves every bit of
- 1:05:32Speaker 3: kudos he ever gets, including his candy bar, which is
- 1:05:35Speaker 3: really not my favorite because it's full of peanuts, but
- 1:05:37Speaker 3: it's fine. It's a great name. But I think that
- 1:05:44Speaker 3: whenever somebody comes along and sets a new standard that
- 1:05:48Speaker 3: gives people something to strive for and see if they
- 1:05:50Speaker 3: can beat, I think it elevates every sport. And he
- 1:05:53Speaker 3: did that for baseball. And I think that that's tremendous.
- 1:05:57Speaker 2: Thank you, Candy.
- 1:05:59Speaker 1: He had the highest salary in Major League Baseball for
- 1:06:03Speaker 1: 13 consecutive seasons, proving his worth through surging gate receipts
- 1:06:10Speaker 1: and pennant contentions. He had lucrative partnerships. He endorsed heavy-hitting
- 1:06:15Speaker 1: brands like Quaker Oats, Wheaties, Ford, Louisville Slugger, and Chevrolet.
- 1:06:21Speaker 1: I was reading about.
- 1:06:27Speaker 1: Every, I mean, he, he drew at the box box office.
- 1:06:31Speaker 1: Everybody wanted to go see him, you know? Um, and
- 1:06:35Speaker 1: he had an arrogance to him that I think some
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: of us would, you know, kind of like, uh, I'm
- 1:06:43Speaker 1: trying to think who I would like Deon Sanders almost
- 1:06:46Speaker 1: like that kind of, you know, I'm good and you
- 1:06:49Speaker 1: need to pay me.
- 1:06:50Speaker 2: And, um, Oh, yeah.
- 1:06:53Speaker 5: Well, during the Depression, a reporter asked him, you know,
- 1:06:58Speaker 5: you have a higher salary than the President of the
- 1:07:00Speaker 5: United States. And Ruth said, I had a better year
- 1:07:04Speaker 5: than he did.
- 1:07:05Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly. Yeah, that is a great line.
- 1:07:09Speaker 2: That was funny. All right, let's go to the chat
- 1:07:13Speaker 2: room real quick, Andy. Andy has a good comment about
- 1:07:18Speaker 2: World War III. Let's get it up on the screen.
- 1:07:19Speaker 1: Yeah, I put that up earlier.
- 1:07:21Speaker 2: Okay, that's good. All right, I haven't seen it. All right.
- 1:07:25Speaker 2: Everybody done with the topic? I have one or possibly
- 1:07:27Speaker 2: two more to get to. And we're doing really well.
- 1:07:29Speaker 2: I want Jennifer's comments on a little bit of the
- 1:07:32Speaker 2: show and then whatever carryover will be next week anyway.
- 1:07:35Speaker 2: All right, let's talk about the most expensive city to
- 1:07:37Speaker 2: live in. And I mean most expensive. So if you
- 1:07:40Speaker 2: don't have a big credit card, you better not go there.
- 1:07:43Speaker 2: If you don't have a good credit card, stay away.
- 1:07:45Speaker 2: Number 10 goes to Paris, France, $ 3, 600 a month, although
- 1:07:48Speaker 2: the Eiffel Tower is something. Unbelievable, but that's France, $ 3, 600
- 1:07:52Speaker 2: per month. Copenhagen, Denmark, on our way there next year, $ 3, 800
- 1:07:57Speaker 2: per month. They rank at number nine. Number eight, London,
- 1:08:00Speaker 2: the United Kingdom, $ 4, 500 per month. Love going there, though.
- 1:08:04Speaker 2: Love the place. Number seven, Hong Kong. Chinese food at
- 1:08:10Speaker 2: Sanford's would make me burp, but at $ 4, 800 per month,
- 1:08:14Speaker 2: you can burp an awful lot over there, but I
- 1:08:16Speaker 2: hear it's a heck of a city anyway. All right.
- 1:08:19Speaker 2: Number six, Basel, Switzerland, $ 4, 900 per watch. Got to pay
- 1:08:23Speaker 2: for those Swiss watches, right? They must go ahead and
- 1:08:26Speaker 2: put $ 4, 900 a month. Number five, San Francisco, USA, $ 5, 000
- 1:08:30Speaker 2: per month. Number four, Singapore, $ 5, 200 per month. Number three, Geneva, Switzerland, $ 5, 350
- 1:08:38Speaker 2: per month. Number two, Zurich, Switzerland. I'm telling you, get
- 1:08:42Speaker 2: those Swiss watches out there, people. $ 5, 700 per month. They
- 1:08:46Speaker 2: hit two boxes there. And last but not least, yes, people,
- 1:08:49Speaker 2: we have the Big Apple. New York, USA, $ 5, 800 per month.
- 1:08:53Speaker 2: Rapid fire. Okay, and I mean rapid fire if you can. Okay, Eddie,
- 1:08:58Speaker 2: some thoughts about the most expensive place. Go ahead, Ed.
- 1:09:04Speaker 4: Those are some crazy numbers. My brother and his wife
- 1:09:09Speaker 4: live in Queens, and they live in a one-bedroom, not big.
- 1:09:17Speaker 4: I don't know what they pay. Um, it's probably double
- 1:09:20Speaker 4: what my mortgage is here at my house. Um, for small, um,
- 1:09:26Speaker 4: I think it's crazy prices, but people, but there, there
- 1:09:31Speaker 4: is a class of, there is a group of people
- 1:09:33Speaker 4: that can afford to live it because if you've ever
- 1:09:35Speaker 4: been to any of these cities, New York, especially they're packed,
- 1:09:41Speaker 4: they're packed with people and it's affordable. Housing is one
- 1:09:44Speaker 4: of the biggest things that, I mean, it just talking
- 1:09:46Speaker 4: about New York, um, And affordable housing is a big
- 1:09:52Speaker 4: thing that the new mayor has been trying to get
- 1:09:57Speaker 4: for everybody. I'm sorry, that was not what you were
- 1:10:01Speaker 4: asking for, but Steve, go ahead. I wasn't giving you
- 1:10:03Speaker 4: my quick shot. It was a little bit more of a.
- 1:10:06Speaker 5: Yeah, I was surprised that one of the places in
- 1:10:11Speaker 5: the Middle East, like Doha, wasn't on that talk.
- 1:10:15Speaker 2: I've heard that is.
- 1:10:18Speaker 5: Really expensive. I've never been there. But I've heard that's
- 1:10:21Speaker 5: really expensive. But, yeah, three of the top ten are
- 1:10:24Speaker 5: in Switzerland, tiny Switzerland. It lets you know how expensive
- 1:10:28Speaker 5: things are there. I mean, and like Scott said, those
- 1:10:32Speaker 5: Swiss watches, baby, you know. Somebody's got to pay for them.
- 1:10:36Speaker 5: But I'm not surprised with New York being up there
- 1:10:40Speaker 5: and San Francisco.
- 1:10:42Speaker 6: I would have thought L.A.
- 1:10:43Speaker 5: Would have been a little higher than San Francisco.
- 1:10:45Speaker 6: You know.
- 1:10:46Speaker 3: No, San Francisco is.
- 1:10:49Speaker 2: Absurd. I love San Francisco.
- 1:10:51Speaker 4: You do? Yeah.
- 1:10:53Speaker 6: Well, it was a long time ago.
- 1:10:55Speaker 3: The way I heard all of that was like a
- 1:10:58Speaker 3: ton of people and not great living conditions.
- 1:11:02Speaker 1: Not, not really.
- 1:11:03Speaker 3: I don't, I don't like.
- 1:11:04Speaker 6: I would more live there.
- 1:11:06Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:11:07Speaker 3: I used to love big city though. Like I used
- 1:11:08Speaker 3: to crave big city. I'm like, I want to walk everywhere.
- 1:11:11Speaker 3: I want to live in a big city. And then
- 1:11:12Speaker 3: you like, since for the last, I don't know, 15 years,
- 1:11:15Speaker 3: it's just been. all of them are just awful. Like
- 1:11:19Speaker 3: big city is terrible. I don't know. I don't want
- 1:11:22Speaker 3: to pay those prices. I don't even want to, I
- 1:11:24Speaker 3: barely want to visit those places anymore because they're just
- 1:11:26Speaker 3: so run down and terrible and full of dirty. And
- 1:11:30Speaker 3: I don't, I don't like, I don't like it.
- 1:11:35Speaker 1: Big city, lots of people, not much land. I've pretty much.
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: And the other thing that surprised me is like Hawaii
- 1:11:43Speaker 1: wasn't on there because like I would think some of
- 1:11:45Speaker 1: these remote places are would also be expensive.
- 1:11:50Speaker 3: Miami, yeah.
- 1:11:51Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:11:53Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I'm not surprised that New York came
- 1:11:56Speaker 2: in at number one. I guess I'm a little surprised
- 1:11:59Speaker 2: that Paris was up there a little bit more than
- 1:12:01Speaker 2: I thought it would, but either way, it's a pretty
- 1:12:03Speaker 2: interesting list, and I tell people if you're looking, and
- 1:12:07Speaker 2: London's up there too, but.
- 1:12:08Speaker 6: It doesn't matter.
- 1:12:09Speaker 2: I think it's an interesting thought. I love London. There
- 1:12:13Speaker 2: are a lot of places I really love. I didn't
- 1:12:14Speaker 2: just This is the one thing about this topic. It
- 1:12:16Speaker 2: just lets you know how expensive they are. And that
- 1:12:18Speaker 2: was the purpose of me pulling it out of my
- 1:12:20Speaker 2: pocket list to make people aware. It's called that thing
- 1:12:23Speaker 2: called an FYI. All right. So we're going to go
- 1:12:25Speaker 2: from expensive to free. Final topic of the night. Why
- 1:12:28Speaker 2: don't we turn it over to you, Jennifer. Okay. Three
- 1:12:31Speaker 2: things to do in Miami. All right. Is everybody ready? Okay.
- 1:12:36Speaker 2: One South Point Park. You have sunset plus cruise ship.
- 1:12:40Speaker 2: Number two, Miami Beach Boardwalk. Free ocean walk.
- 1:12:44Speaker 6: Yeah, not bad.
- 1:12:45Speaker 2: Three, Botanical Garden, Tropical Oasis. Four, Art Deco District. I
- 1:12:51Speaker 2: bet you got a bunch of those in L.A., don't you? Jen,
- 1:12:54Speaker 2: Iconic Architecture. Five, Calais Ocho, Little Havana Vibes. I don't
- 1:13:00Speaker 2: know how far it is from the place I'm not
- 1:13:02Speaker 2: going there. Six, Younger Line, Walk Plus Public Art. Seven,
- 1:13:08Speaker 2: Bayfront Park. I've been to that place. Pretty cool place.
- 1:13:11Speaker 2: Not far from actually where that Miami Heat was. Eight,
- 1:13:14Speaker 2: Peacock Park. Coconut Grove. I hear Coconut Grove down there
- 1:13:18Speaker 2: is really nice. 9, Lincoln Road. Free people watching. I
- 1:13:21Speaker 2: always like places with free people watching. And 10, the
- 1:13:24Speaker 2: Miami Beach Trolley. So let's go over some of these
- 1:13:29Speaker 2: that we talked about. Well, I mean, I already went
- 1:13:31Speaker 2: over them. I don't have to go into all the particulars. So, okay. Eddie,
- 1:13:37Speaker 2: which one or two stands out to you?
- 1:13:40Speaker 4: I'm going to the beach and I'm going to go
- 1:13:42Speaker 4: people watch.
- 1:13:43Speaker 2: Period.
- 1:13:44Speaker 4: Those are two of my jams.
- 1:13:48Speaker 2: Okay. Go ahead, Steve. Ditto.
- 1:13:51Speaker 6: I agree with that on that one. 100%. You know,
- 1:13:56Speaker 6: I'm not really interested in some of that other stuff,
- 1:13:59Speaker 6: but give me the beach. Give me people watching. All
- 1:14:02Speaker 6: the beautiful people in Miami that have.
- 1:14:04Speaker 4: Way too much money. Exactly. Okay, gents.
- 1:14:09Speaker 3: That's funny. I mean, back in the day when I
- 1:14:11Speaker 3: had my, you know, my dancing shoes on, I was
- 1:14:14Speaker 3: Miami all the way and we did clubs, which I
- 1:14:16Speaker 3: didn't even, I don't think I heard you. It was
- 1:14:18Speaker 3: all about the clubs and the nightlife and the crazy.
- 1:14:21Speaker 3: And then you recouped at the beach the whole next
- 1:14:23Speaker 3: day and did it all over again. You know, it
- 1:14:25Speaker 3: was insanity. That's how I think of Miami. But the shopping,
- 1:14:29Speaker 3: I don't think you mentioned the shopping is absolutely amazing.
- 1:14:32Speaker 3: And so just along the beach. You know what I mean?
- 1:14:34Speaker 3: Like you can just walk the beach. So you're beaching it,
- 1:14:37Speaker 3: you shop a little, you get a little bit of everything.
- 1:14:39Speaker 3: Their food is amazing. I think, I think, you know,
- 1:14:42Speaker 3: Miami is like Columbia junior, you know? So it's sort of,
- 1:14:47Speaker 3: it's a, it's a destination. Go and have fun.
- 1:14:50Speaker 6: Doing the Vita Loca.
- 1:14:52Speaker 3: Right.
- 1:14:52Speaker 4: Exactly. Candy.
- 1:14:55Speaker 1: You know, I mean, there are so many places that
- 1:14:57Speaker 1: have beach in Florida. Do I need to go down
- 1:15:00Speaker 1: to Miami for the beach? Um, and not exactly, but
- 1:15:04Speaker 1: I can see going there. Um, as far as anything else,
- 1:15:09Speaker 1: I mean, I think going down, watching the cruise ships
- 1:15:12Speaker 1: going in and out like the Harbor, um, you can
- 1:15:15Speaker 1: do that. Like there's a lot of free things you
- 1:15:18Speaker 1: can do. Um, but like Jen, to your point, clubbing,
- 1:15:22Speaker 1: that's not free. That definitely is not free.
- 1:15:26Speaker 3: That is definitely not free.
- 1:15:27Speaker 1: No, you're right.
- 1:15:28Speaker 4: So, Anti-free.
- 1:15:31Speaker 1: Exactly.
- 1:15:31Speaker 6: It's anti-free.
- 1:15:33Speaker 2: Well, see, I'm all for people watching, and Jenna can
- 1:15:36Speaker 2: relate to it. I love Venice Beach and everything about
- 1:15:39Speaker 2: Venice because you get that, don't you? People watching in
- 1:15:43Speaker 2: Venice Beach, California.
- 1:15:44Speaker 3: There's no other place like Venice Beach.
- 1:15:46Speaker 2: I went there. It was surreal. Okay, you know what, Jen? Obviously,
- 1:15:52Speaker 2: you weren't on last week, so let's get down serious
- 1:15:55Speaker 2: a little bit on this one, okay?
- 1:15:56Speaker 3: All right, we're going to get serious.
- 1:15:58Speaker 2: No, you know, I love being funny all day, but
- 1:16:00Speaker 2: I'm not so funny about something like this. Give me
- 1:16:03Speaker 2: your thoughts about the passing of O.J.
- 1:16:07Speaker 1: That is just.
- 1:16:08Speaker 3: Every time, you know, it's like every week now we're
- 1:16:11Speaker 3: reading stories. It's just about every week, you know, of
- 1:16:14Speaker 3: somebody and something related to brain injuries. I think that
- 1:16:19Speaker 3: it is related to brain injuries. More and more, they're
- 1:16:22Speaker 3: showing the correlation between ALS and TBIs. You know, we're
- 1:16:26Speaker 3: not calling it CTE. Not everything has to be full-blown
- 1:16:28Speaker 3: CTE to have real trauma from brain injuries. Right. CTE
- 1:16:34Speaker 3: is something that develops over time. And I don't think
- 1:16:36Speaker 3: it's relevant. It doesn't even matter how many holes you
- 1:16:39Speaker 3: have in your brain. It matters that you have damage
- 1:16:42Speaker 3: to your brain. And it leads to all kinds of things, Parkinson's, ALS, dementia.
- 1:16:49Speaker 3: I don't know if they tied it directly to Alzheimer's
- 1:16:51Speaker 3: in particular, which is a type of dementia. It doesn't
- 1:16:54Speaker 3: really matter. It matters that there are people like the vertigo,
- 1:16:58Speaker 3: just the suffering overall, the inability to everybody that I
- 1:17:04Speaker 3: know living with CTE has been waiting to die. And
- 1:17:07Speaker 3: that's the bigger, the bigger issue, you know, waiting to die.
- 1:17:10Speaker 3: Like not all of them are suicidal, but they're going
- 1:17:12Speaker 3: to take their lives, but they're all waiting to die.
- 1:17:15Speaker 3: That's a little more advanced stage. I think people living
- 1:17:17Speaker 3: with TBIs are getting diseases and they don't necessarily know
- 1:17:21Speaker 3: that there's a correlation between the two. We're trying to
- 1:17:24Speaker 3: unravel one for my father right now, because he was
- 1:17:26Speaker 3: in a bicycle accident where he, he hit his head
- 1:17:28Speaker 3: and got a brain bleed. I don't know, 12 years ago.
- 1:17:32Speaker 3: And I think we're seeing the ramifications of that. And it's,
- 1:17:35Speaker 3: it's dementia and it's just, there's, it's just awful. I
- 1:17:38Speaker 3: think football, we're going to have to have a come
- 1:17:40Speaker 3: into Jesus with all these, all these like high impact sports,
- 1:17:44Speaker 3: you know, hockey is another one that they're suffering tremendously.
- 1:17:48Speaker 3: And it's like for entertainment, it's, it's, it's so barbaric,
- 1:17:52Speaker 3: you know, we've just, I kind of reminds me back
- 1:17:55Speaker 3: to the olden days, you know, within the, in the
- 1:17:57Speaker 3: big theaters where they were doing very barbaric things. And
- 1:18:00Speaker 3: we're not so different. We like to think that we're
- 1:18:02Speaker 3: so much better. We're not, we're still barbaric.
- 1:18:04Speaker 4: I mean, if you even think about it to that point,
- 1:18:07Speaker 4: just to that point, and just look at, look at
- 1:18:10Speaker 4: MMA and mixed martial arts and all of that. And
- 1:18:14Speaker 4: actually vice TV has, has a thing on a bare
- 1:18:19Speaker 4: knuckle boxing where guys are out there with, with bare
- 1:18:23Speaker 4: knuckles and, you know, I agree with you on all
- 1:18:27Speaker 4: the sports, you know, you have the hedge, but I mean, you,
- 1:18:29Speaker 4: I mean, you're taking, I mean, those guys are taking punches.
- 1:18:32Speaker 4: That's a sport too.
- 1:18:33Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, fighting is getting more, it's more, it's vicious.
- 1:18:41Speaker 3: More accepted to be more vicious where people are fighting
- 1:18:44Speaker 3: to death. And I'm like, why is this?
- 1:18:46Speaker 4: Okay.
- 1:18:47Speaker 3: But then again, we're killing babies like mad and people
- 1:18:49Speaker 3: are justifying that.
- 1:18:50Speaker 2: You know?
- 1:18:50Speaker 4: But when you said in the theater, like it used
- 1:18:53Speaker 4: to be in the old days, and it was in
- 1:18:56Speaker 4: the theater, two guy gladiators going at it. I flashed
- 1:18:59Speaker 4: right to the MMA. They have the octagon. People were
- 1:19:02Speaker 4: watching and cheering. I mean, you go back, you watch
- 1:19:05Speaker 4: the gladiator movie. It's really.
- 1:19:09Speaker 4: Very similar. Very similar. Don't forget soccer. Hitting the ball.
- 1:19:17Speaker 3: There's so many. Rodeo, car racing. It's so many.
- 1:19:22Speaker 2: Let me add a couple things. Number one, the one
- 1:19:25Speaker 2: thing I would do in Miami, obviously, like Candy said,
- 1:19:28Speaker 2: is walk along the waterfront and watch the cruise ships.
- 1:19:32Speaker 2: And one of the best guys in Miami. That's really big.
- 1:19:35Speaker 2: But getting back to this, and this is why I
- 1:19:38Speaker 2: wanted you to talk about this. We let off with
- 1:19:40Speaker 2: it last week and you were here. I felt if
- 1:19:42Speaker 2: anybody deserves to speak on it more than you, let
- 1:19:45Speaker 2: me know. Because you and I have done stuff in
- 1:19:47Speaker 2: the past on it, you know, with Will Person and
- 1:19:50Speaker 2: all that. All right. So rapid fire real quick, Jen.
- 1:19:54Speaker 2: Give me one or two things that stood out about
- 1:19:56Speaker 2: last week's episode that stand out. And we have Sports Exchange,
- 1:20:00Speaker 2: by the way, coming up around 9, 9.05. Go ahead, Jen.
- 1:20:03Speaker 4: All right.
- 1:20:04Speaker 3: Well, we're talking about the lioness and how she needs
- 1:20:06Speaker 3: it 40 times a day. And then there was a
- 1:20:08Speaker 3: later statement about 100 times a day. And if that
- 1:20:12Speaker 3: man can only last for 60 seconds at a time,
- 1:20:15Speaker 3: I dated that guy. You can see this picture of
- 1:20:17Speaker 3: my boyfriend, my ex-boyfriend and me. I mean, look at
- 1:20:22Speaker 3: the poor pain on his face. But like, look at
- 1:20:24Speaker 3: her going, hey, you're not done. You are not done
- 1:20:27Speaker 3: with your job yet. Get back over here.
- 1:20:31Speaker 4: I can relate.
- 1:20:32Speaker 3: Sadly, sadly, I can relate. And then Candy has another
- 1:20:36Speaker 3: of my famous, my favorite. This is my favorite guy
- 1:20:39Speaker 3: that I ever got to meet.
- 1:20:41Speaker 1: I don't have that one, Jen. You only sent me
- 1:20:43Speaker 1: the one.
- 1:20:44Speaker 3: Second one. It should be same email chain with the bear.
- 1:20:48Speaker 2: Well, she figures it out.
- 1:20:51Speaker 3: It's my grizzly bear. It's my grizzly bear.
- 1:20:54Speaker 2: Well, she figures out. One guy, when you talk about
- 1:20:56Speaker 2: combat ports and boxes.
- 1:20:57Speaker 1: She didn't attach it.
- 1:21:00Speaker 2: There's no way you can ignore Muhammad Ali in this discussion.
- 1:21:04Speaker 2: You can't. I mean, Muhammad Ali and me, what he
- 1:21:07Speaker 2: felt was, and I had the great pleasure of interviewing
- 1:21:09Speaker 2: Muhammad many years ago.
- 1:21:11Speaker 3: Can I share my screen?
- 1:21:13Speaker 2: Yeah, you can.
- 1:21:16Speaker 4: Box with the X. There's a box.
- 1:21:19Speaker 1: A TV screen with a plus sign in it?
- 1:21:22Speaker 6: Oh!
- 1:21:23Speaker 4: Yeah. Call it an X. My dimension kicked in. Call
- 1:21:28Speaker 4: them the plus and X. There you go.
- 1:21:42Speaker 2: I'm back.
- 1:21:50Speaker 3: I didn't hit the right one. We'll present.
- 1:21:53Speaker 2: Oh, please. Video share screen. Oh, wait, let me, let me.
- 1:21:59Speaker 3: Get to the right screen. You don't need to be
- 1:22:00Speaker 3: seeing this whole, please.
- 1:22:03Speaker 2: Okay.
- 1:22:03Speaker 1: I have to.
- 1:22:14Speaker 3: I don't know if I'm gonna show the right one.
- 1:22:22Speaker 2: Oh boy.
- 1:22:22Speaker 4: Well, nevermind.
- 1:22:23Speaker 3: It's not that.
- 1:22:24Speaker 4: Great, I guess.
- 1:22:26Speaker 2: I don't know. Oh, window.
- 1:22:29Speaker 4: Ah, Cher.
- 1:22:33Speaker 3: My grizzly. Can you see him? No.
- 1:22:37Speaker 4: Get ready. He's coming.
- 1:22:39Speaker 6: That's cute.
- 1:22:40Speaker 2: I like that.
- 1:22:40Speaker 3: He's so cute. I love him.
- 1:22:44Speaker 6: Is that Bart?
- 1:22:46Speaker 3: That's not Bart.
- 1:22:48Speaker 2: I hope not.
- 1:22:50Speaker 3: This one, I'm able to cuddle with him because he's
- 1:22:52Speaker 3: a little full.
- 1:22:53Speaker 2: He's stuffed. That is really cute. Oh, wow.
- 1:22:56Speaker 4: That's awesome.
- 1:22:57Speaker 2: Yeah, I like that one.
- 1:22:59Speaker 3: So, yeah, enjoy the Grizzlies.
- 1:23:01Speaker 2: That's cool.

- 1:23:05Speaker 3: all the whole last week. You guys talked about a
- 1:23:07Speaker 3: lot of things. That was my comment.
- 1:23:10Speaker 2: That's okay. Well, I expect you to be on every
- 1:23:12Speaker 2: one after that, sweetheart.
- 1:23:13Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.
