• 1:19
  Speaker 1: All right, well we're gonna get going. We're gonna be
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: rapid firing most of it anyways, but we're gonna talk
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: about Apple technology. People, Apple technology. I don't know if
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: you have an iPhone, but I've got one, But I
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: know the producer doesn't have one. She sticks to the
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Android stuff. But nevertheless, I'm gonna go over the Apple
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: story for everybody. In nineteen ninety seven, Apple was ninety
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: eight from bankruptcy. They're man gathered dust while Microsoft dominated,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: and Steve Johns made one radical decision that turned Apple
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: into the first billion dollar company or trillion dollar company.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Ready for the story? See there it goes all right.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Having been ousted in nineteen eighty five, Jobs returned to
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: a struggling Apple worth three billion dollars compared to Microsoft's
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: one forty eight. Apple stock hit a twelve year low.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Michael Dell's advice set it down to get the money
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: back to the shareholders. Jobs had a different vision. He
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: shot silicon value by negotiating one hundred and fifty million
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: dollars investment from rival Microsoft. We need all the help
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: we can get, he told the booing crowded Macworld. Nothing
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: like Man. Okay. The meal bought Apple crucial time with
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: immediate cash flow concerns address Jobs turned to Apple's chaotic
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: product line, which included various which included numerous versions of Macintosh,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: printers and cameras. He was disgusted. All right, the tax
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: continues on here. Jobs drew a simple two by two
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: matrix and decided Apple to focus on just four core products.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: That's top and portable computers for consumers and professionals. The
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: ruthless simplisation's eyebrows, but central to Apple's philosophy. In nineteen
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: ninety eight, Apple launched the iMac, a sleet, colorful, all
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: in one computer that shattered the market's base box a
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: monotony or montoni. Okay, there you go. Let that happen.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Monton monotony. That's it.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: That's what you call it. Tum tees or an its
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: or anything else. Selling eight hundred thousand unites in five months,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Apple was back in the day.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: People.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Recognizing that Apple's brand had become stale, Jobs launched the
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Different Marketing campaign in nineteen ninety seven. The initiative revitalized
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: the brand, positioning Apple is a symbol of innovation and
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: excitement once again. The campaign celebrated misfits and rebels, effectively
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: reshaping public perception of Apple. As a result of brand
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: regained its reputation for being cool and innovative. In the
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: two thousand and one, Apple ventured into the music industry.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: But the iPod there, you know. I know a lot
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: of people remember that, don't they? The imon with the
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: tagline thousand songs in your pocket. While initial sales are monitored,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: The two thousand and I two store launch created the
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: seable's digital music ecosystem. The iPod iTunes synergy was groundbreaking it.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: By two thousand and seven, Apple sold this one hundred
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: million iPods, revolution the music industry. The two thousand and
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: seven Jobs conveil the iPhone. Boy, don't we know about those?
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: An I phone and an Internet communicator.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: This was just a phone.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: It was a future in your pocket. I have one,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: I lived by it, and I have actually had two
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: of them. The crowd grash, gas, industry skeptics stuff, But
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Jobs knew we had changed everything. Apples one million iPhones
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: in just seventy four days, paving the way for billions more.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: The iPhone just didn't transform phones, It transformed us. That
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: re shaped communicate, work, play for see the world birthing
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: the app industry, the app economy, excusing and solifying Apple
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: as a tech thing. But Apple had done disrupting. In
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: the twenty and ten thousand introduced the iPads, creating a
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: new category of tablets. By doubts, the iPad became the
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: fastest adopted product in tech history. Jobs also revolutionized retail
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: with Apple stores. The loan customers who explore devices hands on,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: they approach through sales, making Apple stores highest mosting US
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: retailers firs square foot by two thousand and nine. He
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: handed no less licensing to third parties. The conversial movement
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: initially hurt revenue, a Job believed controlling the hardware and
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: bumper was vital for the best user experience. Initially, internally,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Jobs was known for his legendary a chance into detail
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: and nobility to world class teams. He brought in Tim
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Cook the streamline operations and collaborating closely with design chief
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Joni I. The results of Job's fourteen year reign were remarkable.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Nineteen ninety seven, Apple was valued at three billion. By
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: twenty eleven at Scott Rocket at the three hundred and
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: fifty billion, but Apple stopped driving nine thousand percent during
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: that time. Only ninety days from bankruptcy, Apple became the
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: most valuable company in the world, practically pass away on
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: October fiftwenty eleven Beforehandy or arrange the Tim Cook for
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: the Foundation to Apple continues to propel Apple under Tim Cook.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you, Steve, it's quite a story. And Apple
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: achieved a one trillion market camp in twenty eighteen two
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: around three trillion by twenty twenty four. The jobs just
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: to save Apple. He revolutionized personal computing, digital music, retail tablets,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: and mobile phones. And there you have it, Steve, that's
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: a story.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: As I'm sitting here right now, I still have my
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: ancient iPod. I have it poked up to my computer
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: in case I want to listen to music while I'm
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: working on my computer and don't want to tie up
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: my computer with music. So my iPad, our iPod is
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: still right here beside me, right, and it's uh, it's old,
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: but it still works now.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: The funny thing is I was always a huge fan
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: of their computers because I knew people that had them.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: I remember when they came out. That was revolutionary, right,
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: There was no tower. Everything was all self contained. I
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: mean that was like cutting edge stuff. But I never
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: bought one. And because I I was used to working
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: with the Microsoft operating systems, which have always been terrible,
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: but but I was used to working with those, and
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: I stuck with them. Now. I actually got some free
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: iPhones through the years. I did some promotions during Super
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: War years, uh, you know, with the Patriots, and so
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: I got free iPhones and I gave them to my
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: wife and son because I've been Android use it forever.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: So you know, again, I stuck with what I know.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: But my son had the one iPhone until the thing
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: literally fell apart in his hands.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: I mean really.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because he didn't want to get rid of it.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: He was used to it, he liked it. Now he
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: has a brand new one.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, I think that what's really interesting is this,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: for the longest time, I owned an Android Pulbo. When
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: my mother gave me her iPhone, I became hooked. I
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: really did. It was just unbelievable to me that once
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: you get to use these things, and I know from
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: what I understand, they don't get viruses as easy as
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: the other ones either.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: And see I went with the Samsung Z fold. So
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: it's like, you see how big my screen is, right, Yeah,
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: so you know that's uh, mine folds out into the
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: screen this big, which I love. But you know, I've
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: been a big fan of Samsung forever, so I stimp
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: with that. But my my son loves his.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: iPhone so well, I'm addicted to my iPad pro. It's
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: easy for me to get around. I didn't take it
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: where the rack. I go for a guy that isn't
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: put We're fighting out Competer to give me an icat
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: pro I'm good and makes it feel like I'm smart,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: which I know I'm anything. But even though a lot
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: of people say, why would you get on yourself? Okay,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: the I cat Pross, he charts the darn thing and
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: you're rady to roll.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: So he was really good and yeah he uh he
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: took that company from the brink of, like you said,
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: the brink of bankruptcy now right there. I mean they
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: are it, you know when it comes to tech.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: You ever been to those Apple stores before? They're unbelievable.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, I mean I go there and it
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: talks me alot.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: Say, the next time I buy a computer, I'm going
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: to buy an Apple. I still haven't done it because
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: as much as I'm I get frustrated with Microsoft, and
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: I do. Yeah, I just uh, I keep going back.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: But one of these days I'm going to switch.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Or yeah, yeah, well you know what's amazing. I always
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: say this a lot of times myself that when I
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: go out there, I just it's hard for me to
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: go back to anything else. I really, it really is.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: And the way I look at it is when you
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: get hooked on a product, you get hooked on a product.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: And Apple's been good for me. And get our producer
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Candy Ebling to go ahead and get one. But she's
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: learned a lot on them so that she can educate
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: her customers. But hey, more power to her. She she's
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: one of those types of people that can take her
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: cake and eat it too. So if she knows where
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: an Apple is, because she has to try to get
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: me out of these jackbox with them in every ten seconds.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: So uh so you so? So do you or do
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: you not have an Apple product?
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: I still have my iPod and my son has an iPad.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Okay, but you haven't made the switch of the phone yet.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: No, no, I and I've actually been given a couple
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: of freebies, but I gave to my wife and son
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: so they could get new phones.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: So that not the phones. But you don't have it.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: You haven't made the iPhone pons. No, certainly when you
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: and Candy Ebling's will say you have something common. You
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: live and learn every time.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: I love my Samsung.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: So yeah, okay, and I can't get on here for

  Speaker 2: you know, especially if I'm I'm watching some sports wise,
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: because you know, the screen then is really good size.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: So that's awesome, awesome. Okay, Well, guess what we're gonna
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: be traveling in a few weeks in one place we've
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: been to, We're gonna talk about the story. To tell
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: the Norway story. People, Let's go to Norway. In nineteen
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: sixty nine, Norway struck oil. Most countries would have waited
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: it nons eruption debt or short term grade, but Norway
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: did something that no one expect that and here's how
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: it became one of the richest countries on earth. How
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: do you like this show, Steve, We're really to get
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: really interesting, aren't we because we're starting out with no politics,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: but want a little bit there later.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: Well, Norway's one of the places I want, that's on
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: my bucket list.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: You mean to tell me I haven't been there. I
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: have not, and I want to go.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: I want to go to the Fiords. You know, when
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: I was in Special Forces, I was in mostly Latin America.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: So my friends who are in Europe used to go
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: to Norway every winter. They used to do a big
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: training thing there and they all raved about how beautiful
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: the place is and the northern lights, and you know,
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: the Viking heritage. So I mean I want to go, baby.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Okay, Well, let me give you some more information, give
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: you a reason why you should go. At the time,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: or it was a small fishing nation, no blashing industry,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: no real global power, just say quite economy and a
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: cautious population. Then came the North Seat discover a people.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Other countries hit oil and collapse. They call it the
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: resource curf, spending free, corruption and economic dependent. Norway sat
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: saw the trap and avoided it. So now you have
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: stand Oil. Instead of privatizing everything, Norway kept control that
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: launched stand Oil a national oil company, and made sure
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: profits save stayed with the people. Then came the boldest movement,
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: save the money. Don't spend it all boy, probably should
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: all have right, don't let oil destroy the rest of
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: the economy. In the nineteen ninety Norway created the Government
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Pension Fund, a sovereign wealth fund powered by oil revenue.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Not for today, for the future. The strategy that globally
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: stock bonds, real estate sent only a tiny share of
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: the return never touched the core. Like that advice, That
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: discipline worked today. The fund is worth over one point
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: eight trillion. It owns states in nine thousand plus companies,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: including Apple, Amazon, and Microsoft. But there's a strict rule.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Only three percent of the returns can be used yearly.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: No political grabs, no emergency flourses. Long term always wins,
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: and it's all public. Every Norwegian can see where the
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: money is. The transparency builds trust and keeps corrupt and outwards.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: Oil won't last forever, but the fund will. Norway turned
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: a temporary, temporary resource into a permanent national wealth. They
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: didn't use it to get rich back, okay, And they're
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: candy putting into pictures. Okay, there you go.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: See that's me.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that is that's me.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: Up on top there with Ragnar Low.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: That's well, that's me standing out top two of my
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: rocky post.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: They didn't use it to get rich, man, they use
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: it to stay rich. Today. Norway is the wealthiest and
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: most equal countries on Earth. A rare story where oil
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: created well not corruption. And there you go, Steve, not
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: the Norway oil. And it all comes down to what
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: what do we call it? Stant oil?
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: Gohad, Steve, Yeah, I mean I think that you know,
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: it was this extremely smart decision on their part, right,
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: they did the right thing. Uh and and they've approached
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: it the right way. I mean, you know, now you
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: know they're all producing country, but you wouldn't know it
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: by looking at you know, the the landscape up there,
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: and that that's why, I mean, that's what draws me
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: to it every time. I mean, that is such a
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: that and Iceland of the two places that are on
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: my bucket list, I want to go, all.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: Right, Candy or Norma. I love the place. I'll tell
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: you what, say, we got to see it from the
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: cruise in lots of different directions, and I'm telling you
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: I'm hooked.
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: I I would say, yes, I'm hooked, but I also
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: would say I'm not so sure i'd want to see
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: it in the winter months when there is no daylight.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: Yes, this is beautiful.
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: This was end of June, and honestly to beyond it
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: was wild to think that they only have like three
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: or four hours of dark at that point. I would
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: like to see it now. We weren't there to see
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: the Northern Lights. That wasn't because it stays lights so
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: much that they don't have so you'd have to be
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: there at a different time.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: For the Northern Lights.
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: But look, it's it's June and it's beautiful, and yet
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: you can still see snow up on the top of
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: some of these Yeah, yeah, oh yeah.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: I'm not a fan of snow. That's why I moved
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: to Florida. But you know, in a situation and in
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: a place like that, it fits, and I'd be just
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: fine with it. In the middle of June, and you know,
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: like I said, I'll be standing on top of that
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: snow peak up there looking for Ragnar Loftbrook and Floaty.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: So yeah, beautiful country.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I love Norway and I'm hooked on that. Well,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: you talked about Iceland, Steve. What a great segue to
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: what I'm going to tell you. But this is about
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: the most insane thing I've ever thought about talking about.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: But then again, I'm used to that anyway. You know,
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: talk about Iceland is the only country and walker ark people.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: But a McDonald's.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: Really, yeah, that's pretty cool.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: I did not know that. No, that's what you come
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: on me so for what you know, and you will know.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: I come in here and I learned something new. You
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: not I would be looking for McDonald's and you know Iceland.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: But know it's nice to know that I don't have
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: to be looking for one, right, but you won't find
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: it there anyway, I feel, you.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: Know, I don't know if I want to eat a McDonald's.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: But that's no, They're not there right to me.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: Uh Like growing up, one of my big things as
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: a kid with the Pyramids of Egypt. And when I
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: got to go to the Pyramids, I was like the
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: proverbial kid in the candy store. I was so excited
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: because I had all my life I had wanted to
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: see them. So we get to the Pyramids and I'm
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: standing right in front of the Sphinx. I was looking
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: right at the sphinx right taking a picture. And my
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: partner Tom, he was the Navy seal and Tom's Tom's
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: a riot. Actually he works with the head of Microsoft,
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: so he's one of the security dudes. But anyway, Tom goes,
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: You're going to be really bummed, and I go, what
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: because I'm taking a picture of the spin. He goes
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: turn around and right across the street from the Sphinx
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: literally was a Kentucky fried chicken and a pizza hut.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: It blew it completely out of the water form because
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: I'm like, I did not go all the way to
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: the desert to see the pyramids to look at Colonel Sanders.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I didn't go there for that, and it
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: blown it totally bummed me out. It ruined the experience.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: And my partner Tom and I were laughing about it
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: because I was like, I am so bummed up right now. Then,
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: as you know, he's laughing and he's like, well, I'll
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: be right back because I'm going to get a slice
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: in company.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: And I don't think I can eat Kentucky fried chicken overseas.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: I don't even eat it locally because my doctor said
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: don't do it, and I'm trying to lose a little
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: bit of weight.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: But anyway, in fact, on another trip. I was in
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: Kingdom of Jordan and we ran into Popeyes, and my
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: partner and I we ate two buckets of chicken that
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: night because we had been away from home for a
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: while and it was just nice to see it Popeyes
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: Fried Chicken, and you know, we polished off two buckets
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: of chicken.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: My friend, I don't worry now that you brought up Popeyes.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: I I'll have a good story on next week. Versity, man,
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: we didn't need healthy that night, to say the least. Well,
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: I can tell you a story right now. I'm Popeye
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: Fried Chicken. When I went to the nineteen eighty two
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: final four New Orleans, when I got hammered with hurricanes
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: and I ended up beating a Popeye Fried Chicken. With
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: that spicy chicken, there was no hangover. It was complete
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: fire in my mouth. So yeah, I think what's my
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: part about Lifeland is now, my brother Lonnie, he's never
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: been there before, had to dive into his pocket after
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: I went, and I beat him there first. All right,
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: So but that's okay, No, no McDonald's, no big man McDonald's.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: Okay, Well, you ever make it there, I won't look
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: for it.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: We won't go because you won't fight it. Okay, all right,
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: but one guy you will find, obviously coach the first
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: year there was Doug Maroon was hired to work with
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: Mike Brabell on the offensive line with the New England Patriots.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: How did that work out in New England with Doug Maroon.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: Doug Moroon's a fantastic offensive line coach. I mean, you know,
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: he has head coaching.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: Experience, right work with them etially.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and he's uh, you know, by all accounts, he's
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: just a really great guy and the players really related
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: to him. And you know, look, they had four new
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: players on the Patriots offensive line last year, you know,
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: including two rookies on the left hand side, and they
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: still made it to the Super Bowl. Now there their
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: offensive line was beat up in the Super Bowl and
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: we know what happened. But you know that doesn't take
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: away anything from what Doug Maroon did, you know.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: In the.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: Uh, the entire season. I think he's a fantastic offensive
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: line coach. And he was such a great get because
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: he you know, you have a guy with head coaching experience,
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: and you know that the players all relate to that.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: I thought it was a great hire.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: Well, I worked with him in Jacksonville Jaguars. I thought
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: he'd a good job. He think he took him to
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: a conference championship game only the loser. No, no, the Patriots.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: So with all due respect, play at the end of
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: the game. And he came within one playing at the
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: end of the game from getting the Jaguars to the
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl. So I like Dog not only that, he's
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: just a good person too. There's a guy that knows
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: the football and knows offensive line really really well, and
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: we're just one of those types of people. In my opinion.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: That to me, it's just the heck of a football coach.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: His coach had been head coach a couple of times,
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: and New England, I think it's really thankful that they
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: should have them. Well, you know what, I got one
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: more story I want to get to. But this one's
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: related to the NBA and it called the Mickey Aarrison
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: story from Carnival cruise line tout the miney. How many
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: stories can you have it one day? Well, I'm kind
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: of making easy everybody before he hit the politics that
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: they're a little bit of that tonight too. But I'm
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: trying to make sure that we sail into the easy stuff.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: So we can't say's a dog and dirty.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: It won't be too bad tonight. But let's gower Mickey
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: Arison because it's a pretty cool story. Mckyerrison father found
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: the Carnival Cruise Lines in nineteen seventy two. Mickey could
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: have walked into a corner office. Instead, he started as
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: a reservation agent, making six dollars an hour. My good,
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of money, okay, nanswered phones, cookbooking, worked
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: every department, proved himself for years before becoming CEO. Built
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: Carnival into the world's largest cruise operator. You know, seven
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: point six billion, the billionaire ire who started at the bottom. Boy,
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: that's a good way to do it. So let's go
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: over the story Miami. In nineteen seventy two, Ted Arizon
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: found Carnival Cruise Line one ship doll Marti Gras. Never
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: been to Marty Gras, but I've heard of it, right. See,
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: the Martin Gras is a good thing, a dream of
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: making cruise fun and affordable. And so I'm Mickey as
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: a teenager watching it all unfold. The business struggles at first,
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: so let's continue to go young, Mickey. To take the
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: easy path is what he could do. Executive job handed
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: to him the corner off at big salary. And that's
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: what most founders kids do, right, Not this guy to
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: skip the hard work, jump to the top. Mickey chooses differently.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: Mickey joined unable as a reservation agent. As I said,
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: six thousand hours sitting in a cubicle. If you've ever
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: set in a cubicle and had what you call plauserphobia
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: written all over it, I hated it back in the day.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: Where As a headset, well on my warning headset, that's okay.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: Doing this is okay doing that stuff now. But answered
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: phone calls, taxtbooking, cabin options, the stranger, the found the
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: sun isn't just another employee or it's just another employee.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: Excuse me. People, You learn the business from the bottom up,
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: how reservations work, what customers ask about, pricing, Cavin type wow,
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: and every detail of operations, no shortcuts, no special treatment,
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: just works as people there, Our people work work ethics
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: out there. Then Mickey Musser's different department sales, marketing, operations, finance,
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: spending time in each one understanding how they connect. So
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: the credibility with employees, they respect them because he earned
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: it to the nineteen eighties, Carnival grow steadily. I've actually
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: been undercurnable because life.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: I was on one in December over Christmas.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: Oh there you go. So we're minding the turnible here.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: But more shifts, more routs, the fun ships. Brant takes
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: off affordable cruising for middle class family, not just the
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: wealthy anymore. Mickey rises with the company in nineteen seventy nine,
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: at thirty years old. Mickey becomes the president, not because
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: of his last name, because he proved himself. Employees know
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: he understands the business. He worked alongside of them, earned
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: their trust. Leadership from experience went ten. There is in
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: step back. Mickey becomes CEO. Now he's fully in charge.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: Time to make his mark. The strategy grow through acquisitions
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: by competitors, consolidate the industry, people those of the largest
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: crew company in the world. The acquisition three begins howl
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: In America Line in nineteen eighty nine, The Cruises in
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: nineteen ninety seven, Cunard Line in nineteen ninety eight, Princess
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: Cruises the two thousand and three, each one in the
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: major field billions of dollars. Carnival becomes a Conglomaran. Mickey
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: Fantasy is brilliant to keep brand separate, bisten the personality
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: for different customer, Carnival for family versus the couples, Coonard
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: for luxury, Holland America for older travelers. One company, multiple identity,
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: Carnival becomes massive number one hundred shifts across multiple brands,
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: millions of pansengers per year, the world's largest cruise operator.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: Competitors can't keep up most Mickey build an empire. Oh
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: my goodness, leus build an empire people, because you know what.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: In nineteen ninety five, Micky buys the Miami He Yes People,
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: the NBA franchise. The other passion becomes besides cruising, brings
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: in championship culture win titles of twenty six, twelve, and thirteen.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: Because he loved owner to requires now today Mickey's worth
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: seven point six billion dollars, the chairman of Carnival's Corporation,
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: owner of Miami Heat built on the foundation and fatherly
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: started earned through his own work and vision. The restoration
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: and agent became a module. He transformed. Steve get this
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: cruising in the mainstream vacation before us were a light
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: feeing a spensive formal stuffing. Mickey made them accessible, fund
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: attract lo for families, democrats, gratiside. The industry privilege doesn't
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: mean automatic success. Mickey could have demanded a VP title
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: at twenty two and send he answered phones on at
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: six bucks an hour, learned operations, built relationships. When he
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: finally led, people followed because he understood the work. Credibility
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: comes from doing, not being. Like I said before, you
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: got the Marty Graw and his kids, and now that's
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: where you had that particular story. All right, there you go.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: You have the Marty Gun, you have the Miami Heat,
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: you have the have pat Riley, who's obviously taking over
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: the basketball business. What are you talking about?
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: What Mickey Dad, that's the way to do it, right.
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: I mean he come he came from money, right, comes
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: from money. But he wasn't born with the silverspoon proverb
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: in his mouth. His dad had him start off at
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: the bottom. So he learned the business. And that is
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: so invaluable for a guy who makes it all the
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: way to the top and and builds a huge company
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: because he knows that.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: You know, his business is.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: You know, it's built by and it's run by the
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: order ordinary average Joe's and James right, and those are
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: the people that make or break your company. So he
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: knows how to treat his employees because he was one
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: of them. He knows. So it makes him tick right
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: and and and it shows. Okay, that's why he's so successful.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: And we were on Accountable Cruise Line this year. You know,
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: we went on a ten day cruise at Christmas time.
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: You know, all the amenities were top notch, the food
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: was fantastic, the staff was great, and there was like
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: seven or eight thousand people on this ship.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: It was a hugely there's a lot. Yeah.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It was insane, right because when when we would
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: get to a port, you know, the waiting line to
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: get off onto the pier, we would just sit upstairs,
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: you know, on the deck and wait till it started
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: calm down a little bit. Then we go, you know,
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: because we made a bunch of stops in the Caribbean
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: and we had such a blast. But then a Carnival
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: Cruise Line is such a great line. And of course
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: our friends who we went with, they're big time gamblers,
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: so they've been traveling with Carnival for years, so they
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: get all kinds of perks and comps and whatnot. So
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: you know they were in the casino a lot and
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: except where were report? So they got my son into that.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: Now he's like, you know, Joe Gambler now too so
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: but good for Mickey right wice of Miami Heat. Now
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: he's the owner of a sports franchise. He's the owner
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: of a huge cruise line. I mean, does lake get
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: any better than that?
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: No, hey, listen, stee. We don't have to beat politics
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: to death there on these shows. We could talk about
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: travel and territory. This isn't a show. Show is based
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: on current events, everybody, not just up beating up holitics.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: I don't like talking politics. I talk current events. I
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: want to make sure that people understand the nature of
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: this show. And that's what and that's the approach I
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: probably take tonight and bringing Mary here, and we talked
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: about Apple Great and Norway. These are places that you
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: go and another place where people go. Okay, here's another
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: incredible story. We have about twenty minutes lestic on the show,
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: and obviously we'll have four trafts coming up afterwards. But
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: Sweden becomes a first country to let doctors prescribe travel
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: for well being stressed, burnout, mental health challenges. Look at this,
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: now we got Sweetened into the act.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: Now who did this?
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: Sweden? Yeah, Sweden because people to let doctors travels. I'm believably, that's.
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: Another place I like to visit. You know, all these
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: one haired women there, so you know the Swedish blond
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: that's like the big thing right now. But good for this,
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: I mean it makes sense. I believe that sometimes, like
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: I'm here to tell you, I mean, I you know,
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: been working hard my whole life. I hadn't had a
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: vacation in probably eight to ten years. And to get
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: away this uh this Christmas, that to me was therapy.
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: And I applaud the Swedes for doing that because I
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: think that that is it's legitimate therapy, especially you know
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: when you live in a high stress world and you're
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: you have a high stress job. Definitely, definitely, I'm all
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: on board with that.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: A week ago, what did we have? We got some
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: more They a lot of if you quit your job,
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: you get free drinks. And now we're talking about Sweeten
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: going up there prescribing. I mean, my goodness, it doesn't
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: get any better on them over City man Mouth than that.
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: What some times if people get quick.
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: If the Swedes, you know, work it into where you
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: get free drinks and vacation, Hey, that'll sign me up, coach.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: Well, no, no, what we're gonna do If that's the case,
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: you have your wife and your kid, and you and
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: Candy and I are going to go there. That's all
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: because after all, we need therapy. I mean, let's way
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: to reality. We go out there and we need therapy. Yeah, Tony,
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: I mean think about it. Travel for well being, stressed, burnout,
• 36:34

  Speaker 1: about Drake May and the Boston Children's Hospital.
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: Well, this is one story I knew about before coming
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: on the show. I didn't read her. I did read

  Speaker 2: her story about that, and I think it's great. Look,
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: Drake May is he's a down on earth you know,
• 39:55

  Speaker 2: so you know, he's just he's just a good, down
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: to earth guy. And when I read the story, I
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: was like, I think that's awesome. He shaved his head,
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: you know for the Boston Children's Hospital. They they do
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: this thing every year. They've gotten a lot of Boston
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: sports stars to buy in through the years, and I
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: was so glad to see Drake May do that because
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: he's already a kind of an icon up there in
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: the Boston area, you know, being with the Patriots, and
• 40:33

• 42:33
  Speaker 1: People here, Steve and Johnny Carson would say, all right, Steve, okay,

  Speaker 2: Can you hear me out?
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I can hear you now, Steve.
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: Scott, can you hear it?
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I can hear it. Can you hear me? All right? Yeah?
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: I can bring Yeah, I can hear you. I see
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: you moving around a little bit. How are you doing that? Okay, God,
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: So give me some time. I'll talk about of herself
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: and then the story, and then we have a few
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: more we'll want to get to.
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I think that was a It was a great
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: get by her, you know, being the first to post that.
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: And I think she is up and coming. We'll probably
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: be reading about her nationally in a couple of years,
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: you know, she'll be breaking major sports stories for a
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: major outlet. But hey, she's doing well for us.
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she's a good friend of mine. I always track
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: younger media people in our industry, and this young lady
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: has an incredibly bright future. Let's continue the narrative as
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: we get ready to talk about the NCAA. Each big
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: last Naddy was back in two thousand when Tom is
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: I went ahead and took care of it, sorts the
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: draft schemes. Obviously, the Big ten has a chance to
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: go out there. It's not that straight from Michigan and
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: illinnoy with a fifty chance of being that drought to
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: date back to two thousand. You think the Big ten
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: can pull out of the final four, finally breaking that
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: there may be another in Michigan team to do it,
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: got Illinois, but you got a fifty percent.
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: Shot at it.
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: Stee see you can you hear me? See a lot
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: more technical problems? I know we're moving around there a
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: little bit, Candy. Do you think they're gonna break out
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: of it?
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Scott, I can't hear you.
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: Can you hear me now?
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah? I can't hear you now? Okay, Yeah, let's talk
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: about can we get a bad connection?
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: That's okay, that happens. That's only technology. We're all used
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: to the insanity of it. But you know Mick ten
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: has a fifty percent chance of breaking that drought. Okay,
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: with Michigan Illinois, you think they have a legitimate shot.
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: They're gonna have some coup opponents with Arizona in Connecticut
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: and the final four in Indianapolis.
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I couldn't. I couldn't hear what you was saying, Katie.
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: Could you see if you could hear you better?
• 45:33
  Speaker 4: So Scott was talking about March Madness and how the
• 45:37
  Speaker 4: Big ten is going to be represented fifty percent because
• 45:41
  Speaker 4: of Illinois and Michigan being in there, and then when
• 45:45
  Speaker 4: was the last time they did that, Scott, It's been
• 45:47
  Speaker 4: a while, two thousand, Since two thousand, this is the
• 45:51
  Speaker 4: first time since two thousand that's happened. Your thoughts on
• 45:55
  Speaker 4: the final four for March.
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: Madness, Okay, yeah, you know, Look, I'm glad to see
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: Yukon in it. They're in it every year. Those are
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: the guys I'm rooting for, and on both sides of
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: the ball, right, So you know I'm showing my Northeast
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: bias a little bit there, right.
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: Well you should, and I'm a Midwestern guy. Well I
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: have to suffer a u of m right, Yeah, I'll
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: go all right, Well, the time, the Eagles defensive line
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: coach Clint Hurt was the head coach at the Feeder
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: Bowl this year, and many of the projects of the
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: NFL commines spoke very highly of them. What do you
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: know of Clint Hurt as a coach, Steve?
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: I just from what I've read, I don't know. I
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: don't know a lot about him, but yeah, I've read
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: that he's a really good coach, and uh, you know,
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: I'd like to see, you know, guys like him get
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: a shot at becoming a defensive coordinator, maybe even a
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: head coach down the road.
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I got to know him over at the Senior
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: Bowl and I asked him a couple courts. Really a
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: super class guy and you can see how much the
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: players really liked him for sure. Two more topics that
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: we get to. There are reports out there that claim
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: Israel strike hit North Korean embassy and Tehran. What are
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: your thoughts about that?
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Scott, I think they all go over again
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: breaking up again. I know you started to say that
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: you have.
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, we talked about Senior Bowl. Any final thoughts
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: on Clinton Hurt, Steve? All right, Kenny, So I'm here.
• 48:01
  Speaker 4: Senior Bowl was was an awesome experience, and I thought
• 48:04
  Speaker 4: that was a really good, good, good place to be.
• 48:09
  Speaker 4: This is our first time there, so I had never
• 48:10
  Speaker 4: been to the Senior Bowl. I thought it was an
• 48:13
  Speaker 4: excellent experience all around.
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: Okay, well, let's see you get back down and there, Steve.
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: We'll get him back in here again. All right, Steve,
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: We'll get you there with only a couple of topics.
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: No big deal. So yeah, some thoughts about Clint hurt.
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: My feelings were them were nothing but positive.
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm glad to hear that. I mean, I
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: always like to hear that. You know, guys are are
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: are good people when you meet them, and you know,
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: I've met quite a few, and uh, it's it's always
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: such a nice thing when you meet a coach that
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: you know he has a good reputation as a good
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: coach and you meet them and they turn out to
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: be good people. I mean, I remember remember meeting Sean
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: Payton and he made me laugh. I thought he was
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: a great dude. But I'm glad to hear that. I mean, look,
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: that's what you know. One of the things I would
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: like to attend in the future is the Senior Bowl.
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: I would love to go down there and and you know,
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: talk with some of the coach some of the young
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: players that are coming in. I've never been, and that's
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: one of the things I want definitely.
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: The place you got to go as well. Maybe we
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: should both go together, right. The report that claimed Israel
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: had a strike had against North Korean embassy and Teyron.
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: Is that something to be concerned about, yes, okay, yep.
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: And it's definitely something to be concerned about going forward.
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: I mean anything that you know, when when you're talking
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: about things like that, it's always always something to be
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: concerned about, okay.
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: And our final topic of the night, US Secretary of
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: State Marcil Mark Rubio said Israel drew US into a
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: war with whom I ran I ran. Foreign minister accused
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: the US of entering a war no toys on Israel's behalf.
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: So your thoughts their final thoughts on Marco Marco Rubio, Look.
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: You know, I look at it. The the Israelis obviously
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: were going to strike. I mean, they they live at
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: the you know, edge of the tip of the spear.
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: I guess you could say, right, and uh, you know,
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: they were concerned about Iran nuclear capability. They were concerned
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: about their missiles and with justification as we're seeing what's
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: going on. Did they get the US involved? Yeah, but
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: I think we would have been getting involved anyway. It's
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: just the timing was speeded up.
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: But that you know, had to do with they.
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: You know, the first night or the first day, I
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: guess you could say of the current air campaign. You know,
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: the Israelis and the US intelligence found out that you know,
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: Iranian leadership decided they were going to have a Saturday
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: morning you know, sit down, uh not in a you know,
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: protected bunker, but above ground, and they decided they were
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: going to take them all out. So did they get
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: US involved to a degree, But I think again, I
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: think we would have been involved anyway.
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: Now I agree with you. The reason why I agree
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: with you Donald Trump has handed in for Iran anyway
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: for a while. So yes, I agree with what they're saying.
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: But I also believe that President and Trump was on
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: the mission to wake them out anyhow and take care
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: of business and Ruby old well, you know, I can't
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: disagree with what he's saying. So great great show tonight,
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: Motor City Man Mouse Show, will do it again. Next
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: Wenesday regular time at eight and I'll think dale. I
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: enjoyed doing Thursday night shows too, which I have three
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: of them tonight including this one. But time was a
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: good show in the since because you have to go,
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: we'll talk about a success story with Mickey Aroonzon. We
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: talked about Apple Norway and Yukon as well as iPhones,
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: so we decided to have some frequent flyers on this
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: edition of the MotorCity of Anamouse show. Any final thoughts
