0:24
Speaker 1: Good to everybody. Welcome to the motor City. Mad not so. Yes,
0:28
Speaker 1: I'm Piper. I have three shows. I've the network tonight.
0:31
Speaker 1: Now I have three these people on this Telecady, Yes
0:36
Speaker 1: all right, Well I'm in a good mood. So that's
0:38
Speaker 1: what Steeves BALLISTI my partner at crime and my other
0:41
Speaker 1: partner at crime, Candy. Well, guess what We're traveling to
0:45
Speaker 1: Costa Rica to get this bad boy going here. And
0:48
Speaker 1: here's what we're gonna do. There's a story on Costa Rica. People.
0:52
Speaker 1: Costa Rica has no army. It abolishes military seventy years ago.
0:57
Speaker 1: Today is one of Latin America because most people progressed
1:01
Speaker 1: and sustainable nations with free education, booming eco tourism and
1:07
Speaker 1: some of the cleanest energy in the world. Here's how
1:11
Speaker 1: Costa Rica transformed itself by choosing peaks over weapons. Ready
1:15
Speaker 1: for this one, Steve, I know you're a military guy.
1:18
Speaker 1: In nineteen forty eight, Costa Rica was emerging from the
1:23
Speaker 1: Civil War. This economy was weak, institutions were fragile, but
1:27
Speaker 1: it made one radical decision. There's all the army permanently.
1:32
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, really, I mean, I don't know, Well,
1:35
Speaker 1: you're in the US Army, So I guess it really
1:36
Speaker 1: won't matter. President Jose figured realists their believe that military
1:42
Speaker 1: spending was a threat to democracy, so he disbanded the
1:47
Speaker 1: armed forces and redirected the money elsewhere into education, healthcare,
1:52
Speaker 1: public infrastructure. Instead of tanks, Costa Rica built schools. He's
1:58
Speaker 1: a little bit of intelligence here, so to seek people
2:01
Speaker 1: instead of weapons that trained doctors and engineers. The government
2:05
Speaker 1: prioritized literacy and social safety nets. The country invested in
2:11
Speaker 1: universal health care. Today, life expectancy in Costa Rica is
2:15
Speaker 1: higher than in the US. Not my case and those
2:17
Speaker 1: little labit any time, but it is what it is,
2:21
Speaker 1: and it's public health system is ranked among the best
2:25
Speaker 1: of Latin America. Okay. Costa Rica also found also focused
2:30
Speaker 1: on protecting its environment. The band hunting for sport and
2:34
Speaker 1: started reinforcing hunting steam, but now ninety percent of its
2:38
Speaker 1: electricity comes from renewable energy. By twenty twenty one, over
2:43
Speaker 1: twenty five percent of Costa Rica's land was designated as
2:46
Speaker 1: protected reserves. Its global leader and eco tourism, drawing millions
2:51
Speaker 1: of visitors yearly. Nature becomes became one of the biggest
2:55
Speaker 1: economic assets the economy diversified from coffee and bananas to
3:02
Speaker 1: services in tech. While now they're taken away the army.
3:05
Speaker 1: Now they're taking away the caffeine. We got a situation here, Intel, HB,
3:10
Speaker 1: Amazon all off in Costa Rica. I mean my caffeine people.
3:14
Speaker 1: It became a stable hub for global business in the region.
3:18
Speaker 1: I guess I won't find my mountain dime mountain do
3:20
Speaker 1: down in Costa Rica. Forget that. Meanwhile, Costa Rica's side
3:25
Speaker 1: defense packs and treaties for protection. It collaborates with international
3:31
Speaker 1: allies and focuses on diplomacy. It collaborates with international allies
3:36
Speaker 1: and focuses on both of the eye and myself. It's
3:38
Speaker 1: okay security without soldiers. The assets of military reduced political
3:43
Speaker 1: coups and authoritarian threats. Civilian democracy became stronger, institutions more trusted.
3:51
Speaker 1: Corruption stayed comparatively low. In a region plagued by violence
3:57
Speaker 1: and instability, Costa Rica stood out no army, but no
4:02
Speaker 1: military coups, no major internal conflict, just steady growth and
4:06
Speaker 1: people development. Today, Costa Rica ranks high in human development, happiness,
4:13
Speaker 1: press freedom. It has been one of the highest literacy
4:15
Speaker 1: rates in Latin America and a strong middle class all
4:19
Speaker 1: because of one bull choice of investment people instead of weapons.
4:23
Speaker 1: Military got some Rica didn't just remove the military, It
4:28
Speaker 1: redefined what national strength really means. This is how a
4:33
Speaker 1: small Central American country with no army, built on peace,
4:36
Speaker 1: prosperity in global respect, proved and proved that sometimes less
4:41
Speaker 1: power is more progress. With that said, I set a mouthful.
4:45
Speaker 1: Now we'll let the two experts talk about. What do
4:49
Speaker 1: you think of this place, Steve. It's a beautiful country.
4:53
Speaker 1: Been there, love it. In fact, I don't know if
4:59
Speaker 1: they still do. But several years ago.
5:04
Speaker 2: They were creating all kinds of tax breaks for Americans
5:10
Speaker 2: to retire down there. Really the healthcare, as as you stated,
5:17
Speaker 2: is outstanding down in the capital of San Jose, Land
5:22
Speaker 2: at that time was really really cheap. You could buy
5:26
Speaker 2: a house with its land on it. Really nice set
5:32
Speaker 2: up for a song back then. And interesting footnote, Yes,
5:40
Speaker 2: they did away with their military. They have kind of
5:43
Speaker 2: like I don't know, like a national police force, you know,
5:51
Speaker 2: but they requested some training from US.
5:55
Speaker 1: Okay.
5:56
Speaker 2: The funny thing is it's not like having soldiers, right
6:00
Speaker 2: because they're unionized like a national police force. So like, yeah,
6:05
Speaker 2: they were like no, you know, look at their clock.
6:10
Speaker 2: Union rules, we get a breakdown.
6:14
Speaker 1: Union rules. That's it for the day, you know.
6:18
Speaker 2: And uh, you know, when when you're in the military,
6:21
Speaker 2: you don't operate under any kind of rules like that.
6:24
Speaker 2: So it took a little bit getting used to, but
6:28
Speaker 2: it's it's worked for them. And then, like I said,
6:32
Speaker 2: it's a gorgeous, gorgeous place. You know, I seriously thought
6:38
Speaker 2: about moving there and retiring there myself years ago. Instead,
6:44
Speaker 2: I decided to go to Florida, and uh, you know,
6:47
Speaker 2: I have no regrets, but I'm here to tell you
6:50
Speaker 2: if you want to visit, like a place that looks
6:52
Speaker 2: like Gilligan's Island, that's that's.
7:00
Speaker 1: Yeah.
7:01
Speaker 2: Well, when I was in the military, now i'm dating
7:03
Speaker 2: myself years ago, but they had these these little i
7:09
Speaker 2: don't know, Gilligan's Island, like shacks on the beach that
7:13
Speaker 2: you could rent for the weekend for like basically nothing.
7:17
Speaker 2: So you know, you could go across the border from
7:20
Speaker 2: Panama where I was stationed at, into Costa Rica just
7:24
Speaker 2: it was just a few hours drive and uh, you
7:28
Speaker 2: go there, get a beach house for the weekend, invite
7:31
Speaker 2: some female persuasion from the Navy. Because there was lots
7:35
Speaker 2: of Navy girls down at Panama and then you could
7:38
Speaker 2: have yourself a time. Oh kiddy, all right, but yeah
7:44
Speaker 2: it's it's a beautiful, beautiful place.
7:49
Speaker 1: Do you think, Candy. You know.
7:52
Speaker 3: It has a population of around five million people in
7:57
Speaker 3: a land area that is approximately it's under twenty thousand
8:01
Speaker 3: square miles. The capital and largest city is San Jose,
8:05
Speaker 3: home to around three hundred and fifty thousand residents and
8:09
Speaker 3: two million people in the surrounding metropolitan area. They've been
8:16
Speaker 3: humans have been present in Costa Rica since between seven
8:20
Speaker 3: thousand and ten thousand BC, so it goes way way
8:25
Speaker 3: way back. Their demographics are primarily eighty three point six
8:35
Speaker 3: percent white, so they're highly but they do have Native American,
8:43
Speaker 3: they have Afro Caribbean. They primarily speak Spanish there, but
8:52
Speaker 3: they do speak other languages too. The religion is primarily Catholics.
8:57
Speaker 3: Fifty two percent of the people are Yeah it's and
9:05
Speaker 3: their literacy rate in Costa Rica is approximately ninety seven percent.
9:12
Speaker 3: English is widely spoken, primarily due to the Costa Rica
9:16
Speaker 3: tourists tourism industry, and when the army was abolished in
9:21
Speaker 3: nineteen forty nine, it was said that the army would
9:24
Speaker 3: be replaced with the army of teachers.
9:29
Speaker 1: Wow, that's incredible.
9:31
Speaker 3: There are both state and private universities. Yes, the health
9:37
Speaker 3: the life expectancy in Costa Rica is seventy nine point
9:41
Speaker 3: three years.
9:42
Speaker 1: Really mm hmm.
9:47
Speaker 3: Costa Rica's leave is due to it. It's very high
9:50
Speaker 3: life expectancy, which is second highest in the Americans and
9:54
Speaker 3: higher than in the United States. The the country also
10:01
Speaker 3: experienced well being higher than many rich richer nations. They
10:07
Speaker 3: actually consider them very wealthy. In Costa Rica, they don't
10:17
Speaker 3: have a lot of WHI should I say it says
10:21
Speaker 3: malaria incident very low. They're very like, no reported cases
10:27
Speaker 3: of measles their children. All children under one have access
10:33
Speaker 3: to well baby clinics and the immunization coverage rate in
10:37
Speaker 3: twenty twenty was above ninety five percent. They have prenatal
10:43
Speaker 3: care for all women are getting prenatal care. So it
10:50
Speaker 3: just sounds like they really focus on health clinics with
10:55
Speaker 3: a general practitioner, a nurse, a clerk, a pharmacist, and
10:58
Speaker 3: a primary health technician. They h and they rely heavily
11:05
Speaker 3: on tourism and medical tourism. In two thousand and six,
11:11
Speaker 3: Costa Rica received one hundred and fifty thousand foreigners that
11:15
Speaker 3: came from medical treatment to get treated There is particularly
11:26
Speaker 3: attractive to Americans due to geographic proximity, high quality of
11:31
Speaker 3: medical services, and lower medical costs.
11:35
Speaker 1: Okay, you said all that, Candy, great stuff. You want
11:39
Speaker 1: to go to Costa Rica?
11:41
Speaker 3: Why not? Let's travel the world.
11:44
Speaker 1: Here's what we gotta do. Got a trip heros, you
11:47
Speaker 1: and your wife, Candy and I we need to go
11:49
Speaker 1: to Costa Rica. And if I'm going to go against island,
11:52
Speaker 1: I got no problem with that that period so after it,
12:00
Speaker 1: but I I would love to go back. But yeah,
12:06
Speaker 1: well guess what we need to make it happen. My friends,
12:09
Speaker 1: We're not We're not bringing chickens, are we We need
12:12
Speaker 1: to make it. No, we're not.
12:14
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, Okay, very good.
12:18
Speaker 1: The contentsus majority everybody's going to Costa Rica and we
12:21
Speaker 1: got to figure out when and probably who knows, next year,
12:24
Speaker 1: I'll be tutting down my sports loload even more. You
12:27
Speaker 1: and I and Candy really can make it evident. I'm
12:29
Speaker 1: really enjoying this semi retirement. I'm just taking care of
12:32
Speaker 1: some loosen this year and we'll see what I do
12:35
Speaker 1: next year. But I'm ready to go now. I at
12:37
Speaker 1: Europe really got me cranked about doing more traveling and
12:40
Speaker 1: doing for the other stuff. Sure, so all right, let's
12:44
Speaker 1: continue on. Canada has the largest coastline, stretching over two
12:49
Speaker 1: hundred and two thousand kilometers. I don't know what that
12:52
Speaker 1: translates into. Yeah, so what do you think of Canada?
13:00
Speaker 2: They have a big coastline and not enough navy to
13:03
Speaker 2: protect it. Really, Yeah, the Canadian Navy's in bad shape. Actually,
13:11
Speaker 2: I was just writing about them and their air force,
13:16
Speaker 2: which their air force is in bad shape as well
13:19
Speaker 2: because they you know, they cut their military spending that
13:26
Speaker 2: they're part of NATO and they're part of you know, Norad,
13:31
Speaker 2: but they've sliced their military spending to the bone because
13:35
Speaker 2: of their economy. And yeah, and right now there a
13:41
Speaker 2: relationship with the United States, which has always been strong,
13:45
Speaker 2: is pretty low at this point. And so there's a
13:50
Speaker 2: lot of problems right now. And the Canadians they don't
13:56
Speaker 2: have enough ships, they don't have enough submarines to protect themselves.
14:00
Speaker 2: And you know, the Arctic is the next big battleground really,
14:07
Speaker 2: you know, and the world, because all of a sudden,
14:10
Speaker 2: the Chinese considered themselves Arctic nation, and you know, they're
14:15
Speaker 2: wanting to claim mineral rights in the middle of the Arctic.
14:20
Speaker 2: Of course, the Russians have been doing so as well,
14:22
Speaker 2: So yeah, the Canadians, they have a lot of difficult
14:29
Speaker 2: decisions to make, you know, when it comes to that
14:31
Speaker 2: beautiful coastline, which it is up there, all right, Katie,
14:37
Speaker 2: what's your take on it?
14:40
Speaker 3: You know it not only is it the longest coastline,
14:45
Speaker 3: it's along three different oceans, the Atlantic, the Arctic, and
14:49
Speaker 3: the Pacific. Like that's a lot to take in. I mean,
14:54
Speaker 3: pretty impressive. But like Steve said, you got to have it.
14:59
Speaker 3: I mean, do you have a navy that covers all
15:01
Speaker 3: of that? And no, I mean they would have to
15:03
Speaker 3: have a huge army in order to or navy to
15:09
Speaker 3: cover all that coastline. But you know, and it's it's
15:14
Speaker 3: too bad. All they have all that coastline and yet
15:16
Speaker 3: it's cold. How much time of the year you know
15:20
Speaker 3: to really enjoy coastline like that? But pretty impressive there, Scott.
15:27
Speaker 1: Yeah, really, hey, listen, people were going traveling. I'm still
15:31
Speaker 1: hung over from that trip that Willie Canny and I
15:34
Speaker 1: had a will all the time. We're gonna be pumping
15:36
Speaker 1: in some videos in the show and the next few
15:38
Speaker 1: weeks this time goes on, we'll also be talked a
15:40
Speaker 1: little bit about the World Cup as well. So we're
15:43
Speaker 1: gonna go from the Canadian So I think pretty I
15:46
Speaker 1: think you're right, Steve. I mean, what's happened with Trump
15:49
Speaker 1: and this administration and not having enough military to be
15:53
Speaker 1: around it. It's a dicey situation to say the least.
15:57
Speaker 1: But I still find it hard to believe that they
15:59
Speaker 1: have two hundred and two thousand kilometers the coastline that
16:05
Speaker 1: that's just unbelievable stuff. All right, Well, we'll tell you
16:08
Speaker 1: what we're going to do. We're going back to Iceland people.
16:11
Speaker 1: And that's why because here's the thing. The cash grant
16:15
Speaker 1: aim the spark pride in the next generation. It's a
16:18
Speaker 1: fight to keep one of the world's oldest language is alive.
16:22
Speaker 1: A bold cultural move, Iceland is offering students cash grants
16:27
Speaker 1: to study their own native language with English and social
16:31
Speaker 1: media slang. Taking over generations using Ice Atlantic less than ever,
16:38
Speaker 1: this initiative hopes to not only preserve the language but
16:41
Speaker 1: also Readgnite. National pride will continue on. If you're not Iceland,
16:47
Speaker 1: pay students again to learn their native language just to
16:50
Speaker 1: save it from extinction. That is scary, and any pay
16:53
Speaker 1: them to go ahead and to save it from e
16:55
Speaker 1: Stinson Young Icelanders are you know? So I guess the
17:00
Speaker 1: on line is is they're just trying to save that
17:03
Speaker 1: language and entice people to keep everything going. But you're talking,
17:07
Speaker 1: Steve about Iceland and their ability to try to save
17:10
Speaker 1: their length Icelandic language from being extinct. See see, yeah,
17:24
Speaker 1: you broke up a little bit.
17:25
Speaker 2: But I heard you. You're speaking about the Icelandic language.
17:30
Speaker 2: And you know that the going back to Old Norse. Okay,
17:37
Speaker 2: so that's the Viking language from over a thousand years ago.
17:41
Speaker 2: And and the Icelandic people that you know that that
17:47
Speaker 2: speak the Old Norse language, they can read all those
17:52
Speaker 2: old Viking sagas and all that stuff. And I believe
17:57
Speaker 2: that they should protect their language. I mean, look that
18:00
Speaker 2: it's like you know, it's it's a very very old
18:03
Speaker 2: language and uh it's it's kind of Germanic, I guess
18:08
Speaker 2: you could say, in some shape or foram and and
18:13
Speaker 2: again it goes back to the Old Norse and it's
18:17
Speaker 2: part of their culture.
18:19
Speaker 1: Right.
18:19
Speaker 2: Iceland was originally you know settled by people from the
18:26
Speaker 2: Viking culture.
18:28
Speaker 1: Actually, Viking was a.
18:33
Speaker 2: It was more of a verb, not a noun, because
18:36
Speaker 2: it meant people who were going rating. But I mean
18:39
Speaker 2: that the old Norse people, right, the people from Norway, Sweden, Denmark,
18:46
Speaker 2: you know that that. You know, those folks who traveled
18:53
Speaker 2: the world. They were tremendous, you know, explorers in fact
18:57
Speaker 2: that you know Leif Erickson who his father was Eric
19:01
Speaker 2: the Red, famous Viking berserker, but he visited you know,
19:07
Speaker 2: North America five hundred years before Columbus. You know, really,
19:12
Speaker 2: you know, you know, it's a rich culture. I think
19:17
Speaker 2: they should protect their language, and you know it's it's
19:21
Speaker 2: a I've understood that it's a difficult language to speak, so.
19:27
Speaker 1: You know, I'm willing to give it a shot. Listen,
19:31
Speaker 1: I can get past Spanish on the first pay. What
19:33
Speaker 1: do you think. I landed back in wood shops, so
19:35
Speaker 1: you think I can. Then I attended German. I ended
19:38
Speaker 1: up in the metal shop and then and that was
19:40
Speaker 1: the end of my foreign language. So I had to
19:42
Speaker 1: do to get through the University of South Florida was
19:44
Speaker 1: pile on the credits before they had a foreign language requirement.
19:47
Speaker 1: I did beat it. On time. I'll tell you if
19:50
Speaker 1: I can get these vantis, he'll be dark off. I
19:52
Speaker 1: mean to get through all.
19:55
Speaker 3: Right.
19:55
Speaker 1: He don't over research this one, but you can research
19:58
Speaker 1: it at all.
20:00
Speaker 3: The history of the language begins sometime in the ninth
20:04
Speaker 3: century when Iceland was settled by Norwegian vikings, who spoke
20:09
Speaker 3: a particular dialect of Old Norse. The oldest preserved texts
20:14
Speaker 3: found were written around eleven hundred, way back in the day.
20:19
Speaker 3: But yeah, and for the most part, the language has
20:25
Speaker 3: not changed. They said, it's really states pretty true to
20:31
Speaker 3: what it was. I will say that there are They said,
20:37
Speaker 3: at one point there was three hundred and fifty thousand
20:40
Speaker 3: people that spoke roughly it is spoken by a roughly
20:44
Speaker 3: three hundred and fifty thousand people globally. It's an ancient language,
20:49
Speaker 3: modern tool of communication in the digital age. It it's
20:57
Speaker 3: kind of interesting because we've done a lot of scott
21:00
Speaker 3: We've done a lot of tourism in a lot of
21:02
Speaker 3: these different countries. And yes, we were in Iceland, but
21:08
Speaker 3: a language that a lot of people obviously speak is English,
21:11
Speaker 3: and a lot of people come and then when they
21:14
Speaker 3: go to these countries and now scott in fact, you
21:19
Speaker 3: should have. You should have had me prep preface this.
21:22
Speaker 3: If you go to our YouTube channel. Last year Scott
21:26
Speaker 3: talked to a fisherman now in icelandic on our YouTube channel.
21:33
Speaker 3: So if you want to hear what it sounds like,
21:35
Speaker 3: go look at that. Go look up that video on
21:38
Speaker 3: the South Florida Tributes YouTube channel.
21:41
Speaker 1: Beat can't we'll do can And now that you've brought
21:44
Speaker 1: it up, why don't you go ahead and think about
21:45
Speaker 1: and we'll put it on next week showing. Hopefully Molly
21:48
Speaker 1: comes on. That'll be something interesting. Put that on the
21:51
Speaker 1: to do list. That's a video. There's so much I
21:53
Speaker 1: didn't know what I was talking about. All you did
21:56
Speaker 1: was have to just go out there and you use
21:57
Speaker 1: the body language and talk that nigga looks like you
21:59
Speaker 1: know what you're talking about. It's called acting people acting
22:02
Speaker 1: one oh one And it makes a great video. And
22:05
Speaker 1: we're going to put that on next week's edition of
22:08
Speaker 1: Motor City man Mouth Show and Katy will definitely put
22:11
Speaker 1: it on their to do list. But yeah, it's not
22:12
Speaker 1: pretty interesting though, trying to protect the language Viking. Up
22:16
Speaker 1: until the this Viking here, all I know about was
22:18
Speaker 1: a Minnesota Vikings a boy these Vikings are way big
22:24
Speaker 1: rivalry there, but yeah, it is. But I had no
22:29
Speaker 1: choice with the Minnesota Vikings in this show because we're
22:32
Speaker 1: talking about.
22:32
Speaker 2: But you know, a funny personal note, you know, my
22:38
Speaker 2: family's originally from Sicily. And then when my wife did
22:45
Speaker 2: the deep dive in our you know, family history and
22:49
Speaker 2: our DNA, Yeah, I have one Viking blood and that
22:56
Speaker 2: comes back if you go back one thousand years ago
23:02
Speaker 2: the Holy Roman Empire, which was based in Constantinople.
23:06
Speaker 1: Right, the.
23:12
Speaker 2: Leader of the Holy Roman Empire had a personal bodyguard
23:17
Speaker 2: of over five thousand Vikings, and when the Moors from
23:23
Speaker 2: Africa had invaded Sicily and conquered Sicily, they he sent
23:30
Speaker 2: his Viking bodyguard to to Sicily and Palermo, where my
23:36
Speaker 2: family is from, and they took it back and ended
23:40
Speaker 2: up staying there for several years. Well, apparently somewhere along
23:44
Speaker 2: the line, some blonde haired, blue eyed Viking decided he
23:48
Speaker 2: liked some Sicilian girl, and that's where my personal you know,
23:54
Speaker 2: family line comes from.
23:59
Speaker 1: Really that's interesting. That is really my wife.
24:03
Speaker 2: She she did the deep dive on that for us,
24:07
Speaker 2: and it was pretty cool to see to go back
24:10
Speaker 2: that far and see all these names and people I'd
24:13
Speaker 2: never heard of obviously, and then the DNA, I mean
24:19
Speaker 2: came back. So that was kind of cool.
24:22
Speaker 1: Great story. I love hearing stories, and so does everybody
24:24
Speaker 1: in the network, and we are filled with them. All right,
24:27
Speaker 1: let's come back to We have not visited Ronda Stantis,
24:30
Speaker 1: Governor Santas in a while. So Governor Randa Santas signed
24:35
Speaker 1: a death warrant for four oh Man sifty nine, accuses
24:41
Speaker 1: of killing his brothers. Stat daughter An, you believe that
24:44
Speaker 1: James Ernest Hitchcock by lethal injection that happened on April
24:47
Speaker 1: the thirtieth, killing your brothers, that produ for real, It's unbelievable, Steve.
24:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I don't know the details. I did
24:57
Speaker 2: see that in the news, but you know, you know,
25:04
Speaker 2: when you end up on death row, I don't know.
25:06
Speaker 2: I mean, look, you know, and the guys, what would
25:09
Speaker 2: you say, sixty nine years old?
25:11
Speaker 1: I think? Yeah. I mean, well, here's the deal. Governor
25:16
Speaker 1: the Saints right now making a digressive effort to clean
25:18
Speaker 1: up death row. He's set a tire for the state
25:20
Speaker 1: of pay for these guys. And we'll continue to talk
25:23
Speaker 1: about more of these executions as they go along. This
25:25
Speaker 1: one was timely to that. I'm a firm believer.
25:32
Speaker 2: In the death penalty for certain cases, especially if there's
25:37
Speaker 2: no doubt, like some of these things you see on television.
25:41
Speaker 2: You know, they have the guy on camera, okay, and
25:44
Speaker 2: they catch the guy, they have him on camera, committed
25:47
Speaker 2: to act. They catch him, and then the guy pleads
25:50
Speaker 2: not guilty, and you go through these long trials, and
25:54
Speaker 2: then you go through all these different you know, appeal
25:59
Speaker 2: process and whatnot, and it's twenty five thirty years later
26:03
Speaker 2: before the guy is you know, even eligible to be
26:07
Speaker 2: you know, given the death penalty. I think in some
26:11
Speaker 2: of these cases they need to speed it up.
26:14
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, Governor Santas and I'm going to bring up
26:16
Speaker 1: more of my hand on lately because obviously the subjects
26:19
Speaker 1: haven't really warranted it, but Governor Santa's making aggressive every
26:23
Speaker 1: You'll see more of these as a go along. Candy.
26:27
Speaker 3: He was convicted of the nineteen seventy six rape and
26:31
Speaker 3: murder of his thirteen year old step niece, Cynthia Driggers.
26:37
Speaker 3: Governors signed his death warrant in late March, marking the
26:42
Speaker 3: sixth and execution in Florida in twenty twenty six, Hitchcock
26:48
Speaker 3: had spent nearly fifty years on death row. His death
26:52
Speaker 3: was overturned and handed down a total of four times
26:56
Speaker 3: over legal and procedural issues, but allultimately upheld by both
27:01
Speaker 3: the Florida and the US Supreme Courts Hitchcock. Throughout his incarceration, though,
27:08
Speaker 3: Hitchcock maintained his innocent claiming his brother was the actual killer,
27:14
Speaker 3: but the courts repeatedly rejected his appeals based on his claim.
27:19
Speaker 3: This execution continued at an accelerated pace for the governor.
27:24
Speaker 3: DeSantis oversaw a record nineteen executions in twenty twenty five,
27:30
Speaker 3: the highest single year total for a Florida governor since
27:34
Speaker 3: the death penalty was reinstated.
27:36
Speaker 1: Yess what, I will be surprised if that number he
27:39
Speaker 1: clipped the nineteen by the end of this year at
27:41
Speaker 1: the rate he's going, and we'll be bringing them up
27:43
Speaker 1: a lot more often as we go along. All right,
27:45
Speaker 1: Let's continue another say we talked about Costa Rica. I
27:48
Speaker 1: can tell you this couple is probably get afford to
27:50
Speaker 1: do it because a couple of charges of waiting get
27:53
Speaker 1: three hundred and thirty three dollars after they spent seventy
27:55
Speaker 1: thousand dollars on their big day. See, that's an awful
27:59
Speaker 1: lot of money. Three hung thirty three and I like
28:01
Speaker 1: the three three three, but I'm looking back that they
28:03
Speaker 1: have to charge it gets that amount of money. But
28:06
Speaker 1: for their big wedding day, seventy grand at eight day,
28:10
Speaker 1: that's a lot of money.
28:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a lot of money for a wedding. Well,
28:19
Speaker 2: I just I was watching that that HBO show, Oh Euphoria,
28:28
Speaker 2: where if they just had a wedding and they spent
28:31
Speaker 2: fifty three thousand dollars on flowers in the in the show,
28:36
Speaker 2: and I was laughing because I was like, my goodness,
28:39
Speaker 2: that's a lot of money. But uh, seventy yeah, that
28:44
Speaker 2: for a wedding. I don't know, man, that's.
28:47
Speaker 1: That's a little rich from my blood. Doudo candy So.
28:54
Speaker 3: The the couple originally planned for a massive three hundred
28:59
Speaker 3: and fifty person wedding, but faced venue quotes exceeding one
29:03
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Rather than explicitly uninviting people,
29:09
Speaker 3: they sold tickets at exactly three hundred and thirty three dollars.
29:13
Speaker 3: An angel not symbolizing groats and change to let guests
29:18
Speaker 3: decide if they wanted to attend or not. Now, I
29:21
Speaker 3: will say, for that three hundred and thirty three dollars
29:25
Speaker 3: per ticket, it was a twelve hour wedding experience, so
29:31
Speaker 3: it wasn't just your quick The fee covered transportation on
29:36
Speaker 3: a double decker bus to New York City, landmarks, and
29:40
Speaker 3: a cathedral ceremony, sparking intense online debate about whether the
29:45
Speaker 3: move was practical or simply simply tacky. Of the three
29:50
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty original invitees, only sixty guests paid the
29:53
Speaker 3: fee fee and attended the facility festivities, though ultimately the
30:00
Speaker 3: ticketed approach saved the couple seventy thousand dollars. But yeah,
30:04
Speaker 3: can it was in New York City, so that the price.
30:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm voting I'm voting TACKI on this one.
30:14
Speaker 1: Yeah.
30:14
Speaker 2: You know, yeah, you're gonna you're gonna charge somebody three
30:18
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty dollars apiece to come to your wedding.
30:23
Speaker 2: Do you expect a gift at the end of that
30:25
Speaker 2: as well? I mean, if you and Candy went to
30:29
Speaker 2: that wedding, that's seven hundred bucks out of your pocket,
30:34
Speaker 2: you know, For granted, it's twelve hour extravaganza. But for
30:40
Speaker 2: an extra three hundred you get a week on a
30:43
Speaker 2: cruise ship.
30:45
Speaker 1: You know, I'll tell you, I'll take my crew ships
30:49
Speaker 1: all day long. I've been getting hooked on this. I'll
30:51
Speaker 1: tell you. Did you realize that there is twelve commandments
30:56
Speaker 1: in that ten? You know? You know know other two?
31:00
Speaker 1: Or were you what's that? The twelve commandments are not ten?
31:07
Speaker 3: No?
31:07
Speaker 1: I did know that. Yeah, he did not know that. Well,
31:10
Speaker 1: this is uh all right. I hope we have a
31:12
Speaker 1: good enough audience. I hope you have a short candy
31:15
Speaker 1: to go ahead, Moses, my favorite person, stay my didn't
31:21
Speaker 1: he go ahead and stay my laptop candy? One time
31:25
Speaker 1: I hadn't got Moses, thou shalt not overspend and thou
31:29
Speaker 1: shalt not get taught. Those are my commandments that I
31:32
Speaker 1: edited to Moses. And anybody that has spent three hundred
31:37
Speaker 1: thirty three dollars broke one of those commandments, for get that.
31:40
Speaker 1: It's outright stupid. I like the three three three, but
31:44
Speaker 1: not in that context. Everybody that's the extent of my
31:48
Speaker 1: religion on this network, mother said, don't overspend, and now
31:52
Speaker 1: and now shall not be broke up on me. Tell
31:55
Speaker 1: that's okay, Moses, Okay, people, you hear this, Steve. I'm
31:59
Speaker 1: sure if you can use on any podcast you want,
32:01
Speaker 1: my brother. And here's the deal. Thou on me. I
32:06
Speaker 1: miss that. Huh.
32:10
Speaker 3: He's saying that you broke up the internet connection. Wasn't
32:13
Speaker 3: that great?
32:13
Speaker 1: And so okay, repeat, thou shalt not overspend? Okay, and
32:18
Speaker 1: thou shall not get caught. Steve.
32:27
Speaker 3: He froze up again.
32:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's okay. It is what it is. Okay. So
32:32
Speaker 1: for those of you out there that are looking for
32:34
Speaker 1: a commandment, okay, that's it. And I know Steve has
32:37
Speaker 1: giving me the old passion stare down over in the
32:40
Speaker 1: palace of Fort Meyer. Okay, but thou shalt not get
32:44
Speaker 1: caught and thou shall not.
32:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can hear you now, but you broke up
32:49
Speaker 2: on me.
32:51
Speaker 1: Okay. I'll say another time here Thou shallt not overpay
32:54
Speaker 1: and thou shall not get caught. And those are the
32:56
Speaker 1: two I'm adding to Moses. How do you like? Ste
33:03
Speaker 1: I like that? Yeah, there you go, or I'll text
33:05
Speaker 1: the to you. We have transparent We'll make sure you
33:08
Speaker 1: get all that stuff, all right. So that's anybody that
33:10
Speaker 1: attended that. Probably at least when I had broke one
33:13
Speaker 1: more commandment I created, not Moses. Okay, three more topics.
33:20
Speaker 1: I want to get to the night we have the
33:22
Speaker 1: we're fourth strap coming on at around eight o'clock PM
33:25
Speaker 1: Eastern time. But get this, does anybody believe much about Iran?
33:31
Speaker 1: Because they threatened to say US ships and the straight
33:34
Speaker 1: of hormones during the military blockade. Yeah, right, give me
33:38
Speaker 1: a break, they're gonna threaten us. Well, do you think, Steve,
33:44
Speaker 1: what's that? Iran threatened because think us? Think us shift
33:49
Speaker 1: and straight of hormones during the military blockade? Right? How
33:55
Speaker 1: much of that? Yeah, good luck with that? Yeah, exactly.
34:00
Speaker 1: You know.
34:00
Speaker 2: They they they are always tough, but they come up
34:06
Speaker 2: short when the rubbers the road. You know, they they
34:10
Speaker 2: still have grand You're there that.
34:16
Speaker 1: You know.
34:17
Speaker 2: The biggest mistake we've made in the past couple of
34:20
Speaker 2: months is continuing to negotiate with these people.
34:24
Speaker 1: In my opinion, Oh yeah, Handy.
34:28
Speaker 3: Yeah, as much as you know, I hate war obviously,
34:33
Speaker 3: who likes it? But I also don't like the increase
34:36
Speaker 3: in gas prices like that. Those are crazy prices right now.
34:40
Speaker 3: And they said that the average for this summer will
34:44
Speaker 3: be in the state of Florida will be right around
34:47
Speaker 3: the five dollars a gallon mark from Memorial Day to
34:50
Speaker 3: through Labor Day. So but yeah, I ran we just
34:55
Speaker 3: need to be done with them, like stop.
34:59
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm with you all the way. Well, let's
35:05
Speaker 1: go back to our old friend. We haven't talked about
35:06
Speaker 1: Kim jonges on for a while, so, but he actually
35:10
Speaker 1: ordered the execution of two Israeli residents in North Korea
35:13
Speaker 1: for espionage and leaking sensitive information Israeli's Masade Intelligence Agency.
35:20
Speaker 1: The harsh punishment reflections Korea zero collars policy on flying Steve.
35:25
Speaker 1: We haven't heard from him, but now we are. We're
35:27
Speaker 1: your talks about this character. See that's fort Meyer's internet again.
35:38
Speaker 1: You broke up on me, No problem. See I'll repeat
35:42
Speaker 1: it again. We're getting through it pretty decent tonight. Anyway,
35:45
Speaker 1: I'll go over back to our old friend. Kim Jung
35:49
Speaker 1: young ordered the execution of to Israeli residents in North
35:53
Speaker 1: Koreina for estionage and leaking sensitive information to Israeli Masade
35:57
Speaker 1: Intelligence Agency. The carse punishment replaced your career is zero
36:02
Speaker 1: tolerance policy on spine.
36:07
Speaker 2: Oh about the Iranians supposedly catching spy Yeah, ye they're
36:18
Speaker 2: not catching anybody. They're just grabbing innocent people off the
36:22
Speaker 2: street to scare the rest of the population.
36:25
Speaker 1: That's all that is, okay, Candy.
36:29
Speaker 3: He's actually executed three hundred and fifty eight individuals, including
36:35
Speaker 3: dozens of senior government officials, since he took power in
36:38
Speaker 3: twenty eleven. He uses publican secret executions to consolidate power
36:43
Speaker 3: and enforce internal control. He's gonna he wants to show
36:48
Speaker 3: that he's in control, and don't cross him, or he'll
36:53
Speaker 3: make you pay with your life.
36:56
Speaker 1: Again. Another crazy character today full carrying the character at
36:59
Speaker 1: least start of what travel that we get to this
37:01
Speaker 1: part and now we get to some other good stuff,
37:04
Speaker 1: one that you're all too familiar with. I knew at
37:06
Speaker 1: some point we talked about it a little bit. But
37:09
Speaker 1: no review. The NFL not reviewing the conduct of Mike
37:12
Speaker 1: Brabel after photos surface of him and Diana Roussini, who
37:16
Speaker 1: who were both married and a luxorious, luxurious hotel in
37:20
Speaker 1: Arizona's not surprise, you see, NFL want no part of
37:25
Speaker 1: this drama.
37:26
Speaker 4: Now because it's just going to open up, am I mean,
37:33
Speaker 4: the last thing the NFL really wants is to open
37:37
Speaker 4: up this can of worms because it would open up
37:39
Speaker 4: Pandora's box because then you know.
37:42
Speaker 2: There's there's there's probably a lot of bones in a
37:45
Speaker 2: lot of closets. And supposedly, if you believe some of
37:51
Speaker 2: the reports that are out there, Rabel wasn't the only
37:56
Speaker 2: one doing a uh an affair with so you know,
38:04
Speaker 2: the last thing they really want is to go.
38:06
Speaker 1: Digging on this side.
38:07
Speaker 2: I believed.
38:11
Speaker 3: I mean, it's a it's a moral issue, not uh
38:17
Speaker 3: And I understand the NFL like has to conduct that's
38:21
Speaker 3: not you know, that's detrimental to the league. That's when
38:25
Speaker 3: you get law enforcement and that kind of thing. That's
38:29
Speaker 3: not what this situation is. This was obviously two consulting
38:33
Speaker 3: adult consult adults knowing what they were doing, whether it's
38:39
Speaker 3: a personal issue, and it's a personal issue between them
38:43
Speaker 3: and their spouses. Now, r yeah, do you want to
38:47
Speaker 3: open Pandora's box? Are the the only one? Let's face it,
38:50
Speaker 3: you can remember down here when a certain owner went
38:55
Speaker 3: to some massage parlors or some other people who have
38:57
Speaker 3: gone to this and that, and like there's so many
39:00
Speaker 3: the other Pendora's boxes that you can be opening up
39:02
Speaker 3: that we don't need to be opening up this one.
39:07
Speaker 1: Let me tell you that we were in Hamburg, Germany.
39:09
Speaker 1: I'm gonna bring this up. There was a little stretcher.
39:12
Speaker 1: You had all kinds of prostitution places and all that stuff. Diana,
39:16
Speaker 1: if you need a job, there's plenty of work for
39:18
Speaker 1: you in Hamburg, Germany. And I have a few pictures
39:23
Speaker 1: that took. I could out, but at some point I
39:26
Speaker 1: would need it for a segment like that. Diana, It's okay,
39:28
Speaker 1: there's plenty of work out there, just doing Hammer, Germany.
39:32
Speaker 1: It's legal there.
39:34
Speaker 2: I think she's gonna she's probably gonna end up with
39:37
Speaker 2: her own podcast. Yeah, I think that, because then she's
39:41
Speaker 2: not working for anyone. She'll have her own podcast and
39:45
Speaker 2: she'll be able to continue to work and make money.
39:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, let me ask you this, dude, I think nowadays
39:54
Speaker 1: it's funny how you bring that up to. Isn't that
39:57
Speaker 1: really what it's coming down to nowadays? I mean, pacey,
40:00
Speaker 1: I never thought in a million years that I would
40:03
Speaker 1: actually begin thinking that stepping aside at the right time
40:06
Speaker 1: when pr people are advorced as they've ever been to
40:08
Speaker 1: get younger and they don't really appreciate the old way
40:13
Speaker 1: of doing things. Isn't that where this industry is going anyways,
40:19
Speaker 1: where people are just going to go operate independent versus
40:22
Speaker 1: worker bigger networks. I've always wondered about that. What do
40:25
Speaker 1: you think, Steve? Steve, all right, Candy start off on
40:38
Speaker 1: what do you think you've been in a business for
40:40
Speaker 1: me a while?
40:41
Speaker 3: You know, I think obviously even like cheap normal TV
40:47
Speaker 3: when we were growing up, there was only how many stations?
40:50
Speaker 3: Then you grow then as we were getting up there
40:54
Speaker 3: in age, now cable came along and there's how many
40:56
Speaker 3: stations to watch that? Now look at the NFL there's
41:00
Speaker 3: putting certain games on different streaming services. So yes, there's
41:05
Speaker 3: gonna there's a plethora of different uh, news source articles,
41:10
Speaker 3: news people out there doing their own podcast, different places
41:15
Speaker 3: that you're gonna see things. How many people pick like
41:18
Speaker 3: how many newspapers are there anymore? How many people sit
41:20
Speaker 3: down there and watch the news on on a TV
41:24
Speaker 3: station or do they go to a podcast or that
41:27
Speaker 3: they like to see. There's gonna be fewer and fewer
41:31
Speaker 3: actual reporters for these big networks and more podcasts here
41:35
Speaker 3: and there. So yes, so Steve, there's.
41:47
Speaker 2: Steve, do we have the one I want to I'm
41:49
Speaker 2: just having trouble hearing you, guys, I lost my connection
41:52
Speaker 2: there for a minute.
41:53
Speaker 1: That's okay, no big deal, So go ahead, Candy, So
41:58
Speaker 1: to uh tell them the point of time to bring up.
42:01
Speaker 3: He was talking about how more and more people are
42:04
Speaker 3: having their own podcasts and basically the different streaming services
42:07
Speaker 3: in order to get your news and stuff like that,
42:10
Speaker 3: as opposed to it back in the day where you'd
42:12
Speaker 3: sit down and everybody would watch NBC or CBS and
42:16
Speaker 3: watch the news. That everybody's getting it from different places now.
42:22
Speaker 2: Where the thing anyway, I think, I mean, look, we
42:30
Speaker 2: stopped be the street of getting it right, and now
42:35
Speaker 2: we're in industry of getting it fastest, you know. And
42:40
Speaker 2: that's why there's so many different news organizations out there now,
42:44
Speaker 2: and they all fight to get the story first, and
42:48
Speaker 2: it's not always the most accurate unfortunately, as as we've
42:52
Speaker 2: talked about on this show several times.
42:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just think at a time with PR people
42:57
Speaker 1: are bad under a play where I'm going to as
43:00
Speaker 1: you probably are now. You and I steam are in
43:03
Speaker 1: a particularly lived in this industry. A while we can
43:05
Speaker 1: afford to be selective about what we want to cover
43:07
Speaker 1: these days and try to relate to pr people that
43:11
Speaker 1: are more cluvent to what we want to do and
43:14
Speaker 1: give us access instead of the ones that are dead beats,
43:17
Speaker 1: and they're unfortunately in this day and age, there's a
43:19
Speaker 1: lot more dead beats going out there. But you and
43:21
Speaker 1: I had that luxury because we've been there and done that.
43:23
Speaker 1: A lot of these people aren't. But in Diana's case,
43:26
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of people that are switching over
43:27
Speaker 1: to podcasts, they really are, and they're just leaving their
43:30
Speaker 1: corporate jobs to try to have more freedom of you
43:33
Speaker 1: with their family. And I think Diana is probably headed there.
43:36
Speaker 1: She also has a guy named Two Gods who John Wiener,
43:40
Speaker 1: who's probably a pair of firmly of ESPN as well.
43:43
Speaker 1: But it's you know, I agree, you don't want to
43:45
Speaker 1: go out there and open up Pandora's box, But I
43:48
Speaker 1: think that podcasting is where a lot of the people
43:50
Speaker 1: are getting so tired of the corporate world. To me,
43:54
Speaker 1: I think that's where they're all headed anyways.
43:57
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, for the consumer, I mean, yeah,
44:01
Speaker 2: the the medium is saturated, but it does allow you
44:08
Speaker 2: to pick and choose who you want to listen to,
44:10
Speaker 2: and you know who you want to bring into your home.
44:14
Speaker 2: You know, it does give you more choices sometimes, you know,
44:19
Speaker 2: as we've all seen. I mean, the field is saturated
44:23
Speaker 2: now everyone as a podcasts, right, But at the same time,
44:27
Speaker 2: there's a lot of really really good ones out there,
44:31
Speaker 2: and there's several that whenever I have any kind of opportunity,
44:35
Speaker 2: I always make sure I tune in.
44:37
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, nowadays the days are the big networks,
44:42
Speaker 1: local TV stations they left ten or fifteen years are
44:45
Speaker 1: cumulating a follower, then they go independent. That's the nature
44:48
Speaker 1: of the game. One more topic I want to get
44:50
Speaker 1: around too, and that's that Exist and Star. Vinnie Johnson
44:53
Speaker 1: expands This auto Empire had former Detroit Pistons arena site
44:58
Speaker 1: the panels of Auburn Hill Piston Autumn Motive. He toured
45:04
Speaker 1: the new facility on April twenty eighth, meeting with the
45:06
Speaker 1: staff and other executives. The company will operate out of
45:10
Speaker 1: a General Motors own building, which will support GM orient
45:14
Speaker 1: assembly operations. Here's a guy that has done well after
45:18
Speaker 1: his basketball life, Vinnie Johnson, And of course everybody knows
45:21
Speaker 1: about his days when he played against the Celtics. So
45:24
Speaker 1: you're talking about Vinnie Johnson's post basketball career.
45:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I wasn't a big fan when he
45:32
Speaker 2: was with the Pistons, but I think it's awesome that,
45:38
Speaker 2: you know, like there's several guys like him that you
45:43
Speaker 2: know had a plan and you know they they've made
45:48
Speaker 2: themselves a tremendous career post basketball, and judging from this story,
45:56
Speaker 2: it sounds like he's well on his way of being
46:00
Speaker 2: a you know, a mogul, right, and that that realm
46:06
Speaker 2: and good for him. I love hearing stories like that.
46:08
Speaker 2: I hate hearing about guys who, you know, once their
46:11
Speaker 2: career is over, they end up on the streets and
46:14
Speaker 2: they blow all their money. You know, this sounds like
46:17
Speaker 2: a story of the total opposite. And I'm happy to
46:20
Speaker 2: hear that.
46:21
Speaker 1: I worked with Vinnie Beck and a bad boys there,
46:23
Speaker 1: and let me tell you those try fitts and box
46:24
Speaker 1: and stuff came Vinnie Jack. Then they called him the microwave.
46:30
Speaker 1: Then I'll say him one thing, you know, the a
46:32
Speaker 1: microwave on the court, but he's a microwave off of it.
46:36
Speaker 1: And the fact that even using the old palace of
46:38
Speaker 1: Auburn Hills place as well, I mean, well it's kind
46:41
Speaker 1: of smart. Yeah, We're work out of my old stopping ground,
46:45
Speaker 1: the Palace of Auburn Hills. I do my thing Vinnie
46:48
Speaker 1: the Bell. He's an entrepreneur and he a bad ball player.
46:52
Speaker 1: I mean, this guy got it right, right handy mm hmm. Yeah.
46:58
Speaker 3: Following his career at the Piston, See established Piston Automate
47:01
Speaker 3: Motive in ninety five. It's a supplier of major international
47:06
Speaker 3: automotive companies, particularly the Ford Motor Core Company and General Motives.
47:12
Speaker 3: He's as the Pistons Group Chairman and chief executive officer.
47:17
Speaker 3: He also served as a chairman of board of directors
47:19
Speaker 3: for joint ventures of j L Automotive LLC and Passam
47:22
Speaker 3: Modules LLC. He is a member of the Michigan Minority
47:27
Speaker 3: Business Development Council and the Detroit Chamber of Commerce. So
47:31
Speaker 3: obviously he has done quite a lot of things since
47:34
Speaker 3: his uh playing days, which you like to see because, yes,
47:40
Speaker 3: like Steve said, you hear about these players that go
47:43
Speaker 3: bankrupt within how long or you know, and so you
47:49
Speaker 3: want to see guys succeed after basketball. Kudos to him.
47:57
Speaker 3: There's been there's been a few that have had released
48:00
Speaker 3: successful careers after basketball. Good to see him do that.
48:04
Speaker 3: I mean I remember we've seen the I mean we've
48:07
Speaker 3: been by the Palace of Auburn Hills. I'm sure it
48:10
Speaker 3: looks a lot different these days.
48:14
Speaker 1: To get back to mex with Detroit Candy, We're going
48:16
Speaker 1: to go back there again. But I lived at that
48:18
Speaker 1: building and I had season passes to go there cover
48:21
Speaker 1: the fists, and those are some great times during the
48:22
Speaker 1: bad Boys there, and Bennie Johnson was the heck of
48:25
Speaker 1: a player. And you know what, he was actually acquired
48:27
Speaker 1: in the trade many years ago with Seattle when they
48:31
Speaker 1: traded Gregory Kelcer for Vinnie Johnson. I don't think that
48:35
Speaker 1: he knew that. But Bennie Johnson is amazing and I'm
48:38
Speaker 1: gonna come across more of these stories. That's what makes
48:41
Speaker 1: the Motor City Mad Mouse Show different. People. You're gonna
48:44
Speaker 1: get stories that nobody in their right mind would even
48:46
Speaker 1: think of. And that's why I don't even want Steed
48:49
Speaker 1: anywhere near inside the pit because we have a blast
48:53
Speaker 1: on this show. I'm marketing it all over the place,
48:56
Speaker 1: and Steve lovesn't anyway. This isn't change, This isn't way different.
49:00
Speaker 1: What did he see what I got on my back?
49:02
Speaker 1: You gotta love it. Bro, what's that I said? You

Speaker 1: gotta love it? Yeah, I love it. Let me tell
49:12
Speaker 1: you the Coral Springs Chamber. Let me tell you something.
49:14
Speaker 1: I was marketing the heck out of it. I trademarked
49:17
Speaker 1: the MotorCity man Mouth anyway. So the reality of this
49:20
Speaker 1: situation is that's okay. I'm gonna market it. I got ballistic,
49:25
Speaker 1: got candy, and I got a revolving door of people
49:28
Speaker 1: I'm gonna bring in here. And yes, we let even
49:30
Speaker 1: talk a little bit of soccer, the other football that
49:32
Speaker 1: Steve don't mind talking about, because that thing called the
49:35
Speaker 1: World Couple be comeing up. I got all kinds of
49:37
Speaker 1: stuff I'm working on, but we'll never know. He doesn't
49:40
Speaker 1: care about getting topics, which is great about this guy.

54:03
Speaker 1: sure that we're able to go ahead and be very
54:06
Speaker 1: creative so that we differentiate ourselves from a lot of
54:10
Speaker 1: different people. There'll be other people copying us, Steve, I'm
54:13
Speaker 1: setting the trend for other people to copy us. I'm
54:15

54:18
Speaker 1: copycat situation. Anyway it does it, So Steve, God Blessed
