  Speaker 1: Thank you. Good evening, everybody!
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Welcome to another edition of the Motor City Bad Mouth Show. Oh,
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: we are rocking and rolling, and I have all kinds
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: of stuff that everybody get ready, because you're going to
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: be in for a viewing experience like no other. And
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: when you come on this show, mark my word, it
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: doesn't get any more creative and off the wall than
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: we have. So sit back, buckle in your seats, and
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: I'm glad you can enjoy the insanity of it.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: We have Eddie. We have Jennifer. We have Steve and
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: we have Candy, who, by the way, is in the
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: title of the show for her own different reasons, so
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: good stuff. Call me the gunslinger if you want. I
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: don't care what you call me. I've heard it all anyway.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: All right, so let's get to the insanity here. A
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: young inmate stomps on a 70-year-old child rapist to death
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: after recognizing him as a man who raped his little sister.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Who are we talking about? Shane Goldsby's encounter with Cellmate
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Robert Munger led to a tragic turn of events, Goldsby
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: recognizing Munger as the man who harmed his sister, attacked him,
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: resulting in Munger's death. Despite several attempts to alert staff,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: no steps were taken to avoid this situation. Goldsby was
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: sentenced to additional time for his actions, highlighting systemic gaps
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: in prisoner placement accountability. Well, that isn't brotherly love. Tell
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: me what is. All right, we'll start off with Eddie.
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: Well, I don't know how this is going to fly, but,
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: you know, the guy who did it should have a
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: reduced sentence. He just cleaned up the world a little
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: bit better. I believe, you know, I've read that story before, Scott.
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: I was familiar with it. I heard that The guy
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: was in jail. It was his sister. He ran into
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: the guy who sexually assaulted and raped his sister. You know,
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: I have a sister. I have two siblings, two younger brothers.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: When I read things like that, my blood boils. And
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: when I hear prisoners taking care of business that the
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: judicial system couldn't take care of, I am all for it. I,
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: you know, it's less taxpayer dollars. There's an open cell
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: for somebody else, whatever you want to say. But, you know,
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: Kudos to him. I can, I mean, not that I'm
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: a vengeful guy, but if that, that is just that, that,
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: that kind of, those kinds of offenses. I mean, even
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: outside of that, I've heard, you know, child sex offenders
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: and rapists come into prison and they're seen in a
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: different light. You know, it's like, there's a moral code
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: within prisons. You know, you can kill adults. You can
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: rob banks. You can steal cars. You can commit, you know,
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: white collar crime. They're okay with that. When you start
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: messing with kids, they have a problem with it and
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: they're going to take it. They will take it into
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: their own hands. I could go on, but I'll let
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: Jennifer speak to this.
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: No, I mean, I agree.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: I agree.
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: I mean, I'm never pro murder, you know, but I
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: am pro social justice. And that's all I have to
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: say is I do believe that he got his karma,
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: you know, directly coming to him.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: I have.
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: Zero um zero tolerance for abuse like that of any
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: kind and honestly i think that guy's you know he's
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: probably pretty stoked that he was able to um you
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: know rectify that for his sister you know like you
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: said you know take social justice into his hands within
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: the prison system i guess he's already.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: In there so yeah i know where's he going but yeah.
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: Steve i'll bounce it to you Yeah, and he shouldn't
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: have got any additional jail time as far as I'm concerned.
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: He shouldn't have got any additional jail time. Look, you know,
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: I mean, of all the heinous crimes there are, and
• 4:31
  Speaker 6: there's lots of them, right? Raping children, it's got to be,
• 4:38
  Speaker 6: you're the lowest piece of dung on the system wall there,
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: you know, as far as I'm concerned. And those people,
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: there's a very good reason why a lot of times
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: prisons segregate those people from the regular population. And, you know,
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: kudos to that guy for getting revenge for his sister.
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: I mean, and I mean, if he hadn't done anything,
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: What would you think about him if you're his family?
• 5:13
  Speaker 6: I'm with Jennifer. I'm not necessarily pro-murder. But sometimes it's
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: entirely justified. And sometimes in doing so, it's entirely acceptable
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: to kill a fly with a sledgehammer.
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: Wasn't there, like in Texas, there was a he needed
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: killing rule at one point or something?
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: It might have been. It sounds like something out of Texas.
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: It sounds like something out of Florida.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Well, that's it. I mean, here's the thing. Justice was
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: served internally. This guy, in my opinion, should never have
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: gotten an extended sentence. He was doing everybody a favor.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, let's face reality. We got tech on more years.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: He had, do you think he really cares? And that's it.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: When you talk about rapists and then you talk about children, boy,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: that's a different animal. It really is. So more power
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: to them. This is what we call a very interesting
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: death penalty.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: People.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Okay. Capital punishment done internally. We'll turn over to candy.
• 6:28
  Speaker 7: What I don't understand is, is how the two were
• 6:33
  Speaker 7: even sharing the same cell in the first place. Like,
• 6:37
  Speaker 7: who messed up? Or did they intentionally do that? Because
• 6:41
  Speaker 7: most of the time you are going to separate A, those,
• 6:44
  Speaker 7: and two, that last name should have like, oh, come on,
• 6:48
  Speaker 7: someone should be checking these and saying, oh, wait, Robert
• 6:52
  Speaker 7: did this to the same last name. Let's keep them separate. Like,
• 6:57
  Speaker 7: who's not checking all the things off the list? And
• 7:01
  Speaker 7: if we're not checking those lists, we should be, because
• 7:05
  Speaker 7: I mean, I get it. We no longer have to
• 7:08
  Speaker 7: pay for this guy. I mean, he was 70 years
• 7:11
  Speaker 7: old when this happened. So, but it happened in the
• 7:17
  Speaker 7: state of Washington.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 7:20
  Speaker 7: I just, I mean, do I agree that something should
• 7:25
  Speaker 7: have happened to him? Yes, because child sex crimes are horrific. Um,
• 7:31
  Speaker 7: Taking law into your own hands. You know, there's kind
• 7:36
  Speaker 7: of a fine line. But the fact that they were
• 7:39
  Speaker 7: even in the same cell, that's what really gets me. Like,
• 7:44
  Speaker 7: they should have been separated. They shouldn't have been close.
• 7:46
  Speaker 7: I mean, I don't know. And I don't know what Shane,
• 7:51
  Speaker 7: the brother, what he was in for in the first place. Scott,
• 7:55
  Speaker 7: did you know? Do you know what he was in for?
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Nah, I didn't go that far.
• 8:00
  Speaker 7: I mean, he gets 25 years additional for this, but
• 8:06
  Speaker 7: I don't know. I just think they should have been separated.
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: Well, I'm curious if there was a... Did he just
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: recognize him as the guy or was there an actual lawsuit?
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: Was there a case against him and he didn't go
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: to jail? I don't think we know the full story,
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: the whole background behind it, to know whether... there was
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: even something to check to know, or if it was
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: just fate.
• 8:30
  Speaker 7: You know what I mean?
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: God put him in there because he said, you're done.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Or, you know, somebody in the prison.
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: Knew exactly what they were doing. Exactly. That's what I'm saying.
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: There are no such things as coincidences.
• 8:45
  Speaker 7: So the brother was in prison after being convicted of
• 8:50
  Speaker 7: stabbing someone, stealing a police car, and injuring a state trooper.
• 8:55
  Speaker 7: He was transferred from another state prison to this prison
• 9:01
  Speaker 7: on June 2nd, 2020, around 1030 a.m. And then detectives
• 9:08
  Speaker 7: responded to a reported attack against Munger about two hours later.
• 9:13
  Speaker 7: So the brother was only in this jail for two
• 9:16
  Speaker 7: hours before this happened.
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 9:18
  Speaker 6: Interesting.
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: And he was transferred.
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: That's right. He's transferred there. Let's go. You get a
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: good conspiracy theory going now. He was arrested. Yeah. He
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: was arrested for this and stealing a police car. Looks good.
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: And he ends up in... Yeah, he gets transferred and then...
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: Did they wait two hours before they responded?
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: We're going to put you in this cell. By the way, just.
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: Since you tried to kill a cop, we'll just let
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: you know that the guy we're putting you in there
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: with happens to be the guy that raped your sister.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: By the way, the cameras aren't working right now.
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly. The cameras need to be fixed.
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: And we're on break.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 10:08
  Speaker 7: Apparently, the brother actually said he found out who Munger
• 10:13
  Speaker 7: was and actually requested a different cellmate but was ignored.
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: Oh.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: Interesting.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: Go ahead.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: I'll end the topic on saying it's a small world. Eddie,
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: if you have one thing you want to add to it,
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: go ahead. I have a lot more interesting ones to go.
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: This is just the beginning. I'm just saying, he warned
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: him that his hide, his Mr. Jekyll was about to
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: turn into hide. He warned him. You know, if they
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: don't heed the warning and ignore it, that's on them.
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: That's not on him.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: So, That's right.
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: Wow. That's, that's a crazy story.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: This story has everything to do with a small world
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: and we'll take it. And now we'll take the next
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: one to a much better world. It's got to feed
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: off these feel good, feel bad stories. So now we're
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: going to bring a feel good story. A second grade
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: teacher adopts a student after seeing her move through multiple
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: foster homes is what she did. I mean, think about
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: after watching her student move through multiple foster homes, this
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: teacher decided to make a life-changing commitment. We would begin
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: in the classroom. We came actually a forever family story,
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: stories like this. I like the incredible impact of one
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: caring adult who can actually have it on a child's
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: future and power of unconditional love. I don't know about
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: you guys, but I think it's a great story. Go ahead, Eddie.
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: Oh, I think, you know what? That hits right. That
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: hits home for me. Not that I'm a teacher. but
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: both my kids are Russian adoptees. We got them back
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: when they were non-related, you know, both when they were two,
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: two years, they're two years apart. They're now in their
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: early twenties, but you know, it's, you know, in this story,
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: the teacher sees something, you know, with, I mean, with kids,
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: you never know what you're going to get, whether they're adopted, biological,
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: your thought, whatever, you know, They're, you know, they're like
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: kind of like having pets in a way. And, you know,
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: you just don't know what you're going to get. And,
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: you know, for a teacher to do that and to
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: see that and say, hey, you know what, I can
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: give you some stability. And that's really, you know, at
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: the end of the day, kids in their early developmental
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: years need stability, period. They can't be bouncing from foster
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: home to foster home. They can't be going if we
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: don't have orphanages here. But in the European countries, they
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: have orphanages that they can bounce from. And it just
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: it doesn't work for their early childhood development. So kudos
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: to the teacher. I hope all the best for them.
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: A forever family. That is that just like I said,
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: it warms my heart. I love hearing it. And it's,
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: you know, it's a commitment. And, you know, it's not
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: something that you just say, hey, I'm going to adopt
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: somebody or, hey, I want to do this. So kudos
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: to her.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Jennifer?
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah, this story is near and dear to my heart. Shoot.
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: My mom's sister was a teacher, ended up working her
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: way up into superintendent, but she adopted one of the
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: kids when, you know, same situation.
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: Oh, wow.
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, roundabout. And then a couple that I grew up
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: with that are high school sweethearts.
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: She was a teacher.
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: She's now on the board, you know, school superintendent board
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: or whatever school board, whatever. She's not superintendent, but she's
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: school board. And they adopted a child. And then both
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: of them were teachers. My parents, my stepsister, when my
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: dad and my stepmom got married, my stepsister had a
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: friend who was a foster child who kept bouncing from
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: home to home. Then my parents ended up taking her in.
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: So I have a foster sister now.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: Because of things like that.
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah. And interesting that you mentioned about orphanages because we
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: did used to have orphanages in the United States. And
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: the only reason I know that is because my grand,
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: my grandfather, well, yeah. So my grandmother, anyway, my great,
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: my great grandfather left my great grandmother at the turn
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: of the century, 1900s, you know, And my grandmother, she's
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: like my great grandmother had to get a job in
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: an orphanage. And so my grandmother kind of grew up
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: in an orphanage for for quite a few years around
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: that time. So anybody taking in foster kids or taking in,
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: you know, adopted kids like any time, like I'm all
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: for that. I work with a guy on a regular
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: basis called Manny Lopez, and he runs a nonprofit called
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: From Orphan to CEO.
• 14:47
  Speaker 7: And so the whole.
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: Orphan story like I know, you know, a lot of
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: kids who go into the system. I know a lot
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: of adults who come out of the system.
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: And, you know, you see the difference in the ones
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: who are adopted and get into a loving, kind, caring
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: home and the ones who who transition over and over
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: and over again, especially like they call it. I was
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: returned and being returned is so like what you're talking about.
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: And it is so painful. And it's so hurtful even
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: when they're acting out so that like, cause it's a whole, like,
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: you're not going to love me. I already know you're not.
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: So I'm going to act out.
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: They make it harder, but that's just a defense mechanism,
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: you know? So I love this story. Kudos to that
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: teacher and, and, and kudos to the kid. Cause I,
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: I hope it all works out really well. Steve, I'm
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: going to throw it to you.
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 15:34
  Speaker 6: I can't, can't add anything to that, that you just
• 15:38
  Speaker 6: didn't already say.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: I think this is fantastic.
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: Um, Kudos to the teacher, and I'm so happy for
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: the second grader who's.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Now in a loving home.
• 15:51
  Speaker 6: We always hear the horror stories of the foster system.
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: It's good to hear something good coming.
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: Out of it.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: The only thing I'll say is educators have a great heart.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: They really do. And many of them are underpaid. But
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: when you hear a story like this, you have to
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: talk about it.
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: They're all underpaid.
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: I know a lot of teachers. They're all underpaid. Even
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: though I joke with them that they get half the
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: year off, but even for what they do, they're underpaid.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: Okay, Candy, you have last word on this.
• 16:27
  Speaker 7: I am going to show you a picture. There we go.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Oh, wow.
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: She looks like she belongs in the family already.
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: You know what?
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Okay, sidebar.
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: I was thinking the same thing, Jennifer. The reason why
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: that is so funny, I have been with my daughter before.
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: My daughter's about 5'2, and so on. She's from what
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: would be the western part of Russia, so she has
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: more fair complexion. She used to have blonde hair and
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: so on. But we've been places, and I've introduced her.
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: And it's not like I say, oh, this is my
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: adopted daughter. This is my daughter, and that's all. But
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: we've gotten comments like, I don't know what your wife
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: looks like, but she's a spitting image of you.
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: Because, you know, people pick up on the similarity traits
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: and they may. And it's really you really begin to
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: understand how people say you look alike. And when you
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: have a child who's adopted, you walk around with them
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: and people understand. I mean, they don't know. They think
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: they're your biological child. And the mind will put things
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: in there like, my God, it just looks like that. Now,
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: as you grow with them, you pick, you both pick
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: up the idiosyncrasies and you become very much more alike. And,
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: you know, I can see my daughter acting like me and,
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: you know, sometimes me acting like my daughter. So it's, it's, it's, yeah.
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: So it's, but that is, thank you, Candy. That is, she's,
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: you know, that's a cute family.
• 17:53
  Speaker 7: She's 24 years old and she adopted, you know.
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: Oh, wow.
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: Wow. I was going to say, she, you know what,
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: you know what, that's, you know, that is, That is
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: a mature, that is a special, that's a, that's an
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: angel that she's an angel on earth in a way,
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: because at 24, let me sit. I will be frank
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: and honest. Last thing that somebody should have would ever
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: allow me to be in charge of a child.
• 18:19
  Speaker 7: The one comment I will say is Scott, you are correct.
• 18:25
  Speaker 7: Teachers have big hearts. My dad is a, was a
• 18:28
  Speaker 7: retired teacher. My sister is a teacher. I have another, um,
• 18:33
  Speaker 7: sister that was in academic advising for a women's college. So, yes.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, here's the thing about being an executive
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: producer to keep it interesting. I have to lead off
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: the show with a child rapist. Okay. And now I
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: get to pivot a little bit and talk about the
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: fact that we have a feel-good story like this. So
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: what do I come up with my third act tonight?
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: Oh, darling. Oh, God. Oh, God.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: We're going to the travel area, Eddie. It's not so bad.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: All right, good. All right, Norway has over 50,000 islands
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: along its coastline. So, here's an easy question. We'll do
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: rapid fire on some of these, but is this a
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: bucket list item for you, Eddie, to go to Norway
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: and hit all those 50,000 islands along its coastline?
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: No, my bucket list would be to go to Norway first.
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: To hit 50,000 islands, I'm not even sure the people
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: that live there would be able to do that. No,
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: but I think that would be cool to go there
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: and get an understanding of the 50,000 islands. that, you know, here,
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: here's somebody, a native Norwegian who's grown up there, who's
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: lived it, you know, tell the story of living there.
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: I don't think I, I've traveled like, I mean, I've made,
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: as I just acknowledged, I made multiple trips to Russia,
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: talking to people there who've grown up there and I've
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: been different parts of the world. And as, All of
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: us have. It's different than here.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: Okay, Jen. Well, let me insert this before I go
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: to Jen. You know how to get a thousand islands
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: pretty quick? Anybody know the answer?
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: Get a bottle of salad dressing.
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: Oh, boy, that was good. I couldn't put nothing past you.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: A thousand island dressing. Oh, you're too smart for your
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: own good, McAndrew. All right, Jen. You can pick it up.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: Is it really 50,000 islands? It's actually more.
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: It's actually more. More than 50,000 islands.
• 20:40
  Speaker 7: Norway actually has over 239,000 islands.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: Really?
• 20:42
  Speaker 7: How big are these?
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: Are they rocks?
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: So, so Jen, I just sent you a text.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: You and I couldn't stand on some of them because
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: one of us would have to be in the water.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: I just sent you a text with my sources, but
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you one Island. I'd be interested to find
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: God only knows if I ever will be Gilligan's Island.
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: Gilligan's Island is probably one of the 50,000.
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: No, they would have, especially Marianne and those little shorts.
• 21:24
  Speaker 6: No way.
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: But, um, I don't know. Very interesting. I know like
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: I went to the in the south of Peru. There's
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: the Euros Reed Islands. And those are made of reed. Right.
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: Like it's a literally it's a grass island that are
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: floating islands and they're 18 inches deep. And every day
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: they have to make their island, you know, so that
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: because otherwise it would deteriorate. And then if they have
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: like multiple families living on an island, if they get
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: into a fight, they just cut the island. That's your island.
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: That's my island. I can see how they can multiply
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: pretty quickly, but that's a lot of islands.
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: That is a lot of islands.
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: Are they inhabited? I'm curious. I also went to Utila
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: and my friend had a place on a little tiny
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: key off of Utila. Utila is a little tiny pirate's
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: island in the Caribbean off of Honduras, like really Honduras
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: and then Roatan and then Utila and then his little
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: tiny key. And that thing was so tiny, just this
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: little sliver of an island. But even that little sliver
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: of an island somehow had seven churches. So thinking of
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: Norway and 239,000 islands, like you must, Everybody has a boat, obviously.
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: That was the Eurostreet Islands, how everybody got.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: Around, you know, boats.
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: And then same thing with over in Utila and stuff,
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: but Roatown. I mean, I just can't even fathom what that.
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: I had no idea. I never knew that.
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: Steve?
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: That's crazy.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: I did not know that either. But guess what, Scott?
• 22:56
  Speaker 6: We're going to have to find us an uninhabited one,
• 23:00
  Speaker 6: and we're going to claim it.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: That's it.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: I'm good.
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: It's cold.
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: It's cold up there, Steve.
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: It's cold.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Hey, you know, then we'll dress in like big sheepskin.
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: The Vikings.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: You know, Ragnar and Wolfbrook.
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 23:18
  Speaker 6: You know, Scott and I will, you know, we'll be
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: standing on the shore with a big axe.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: You know, anyone tries to drive by. Yeah. And they're like, no,
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: this is my island.
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah. You're going to get your boat, and you're going
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: to start building your empire, grabbing more islands.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it.
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: And then we'll build us a big, long ship, and
• 23:44
  Speaker 6: we'll start inhabiting other islands, right? Build a small little
• 23:50
  Speaker 6: empire there.
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: There you go. God help the world.
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: I mean, how much land does that cover, 239,000 islands?
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: It's probably teeny.
• 23:58
  Speaker 7: The Norwegian Mapping Authority considers islands larger than 10 meters squared,
• 24:05
  Speaker 7: which is 110 square feet, proper islands amounting to the 239,057.
• 24:11
  Speaker 7: An older source gives 53,789 islands, which may be the
• 24:14
  Speaker 7: figure for only coastal islands only.
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: So.
• 24:16
  Speaker 7: 110 square feet.
• 24:30
  Speaker 6: My office that I'm in right now is bigger than.
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: That. Out of all of those, I just pulled up
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: that it says about 200 are inhabitable. 200 out of the.
• 24:44
  Speaker 7: 239,000.
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: I don't think anybody's living on a patch of land.
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: A little patch.
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: I mean, but you can go and escape and just
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: lay out for the day.
• 24:55
  Speaker 6: I have a hundred and this office is 155 square feet.
• 25:03
  Speaker 6: So therefore I'm a landowner in Norway.
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah. This, yeah. My basement's about 1400 square feet. So
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: I've got pretty much, I got pretty much a couple
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: of them.
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: You got big islands going on over there. Yeah.
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: I got my defenses set up from Scott and Steve.
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: They're going to, you know, they're going to be marching,
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: marching all the way to my Island.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: I'll just say that. I'll just say this much. I
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: could be on a deserted Island with all five of
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: us and that suits me fine. I'm totally good with that. Well,
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: all right, let's go ahead. Let's continue on. We have
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: a busy agenda. We're doing really good. No big deal.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: And then we have to get to our featured topic
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: of the night because we know why. It's written in
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: the title, but we will sooner or later. But we're
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: going to talk about seven people who changed the entire
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: course of history. Who are we going to talk about?
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: We're going to talk about number one, Christopher Columbus. His
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: 1492 voyage opened the Americas to Europe and triggered the
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: largest genocide in history. Up to 56 million Native Americans
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: died there. from disease, war, and slavery. Jesus of Nazareth.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: I think I'm reading that right.
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: Well, Jesus made the show. Great stuff, buddy. Okay. Or,
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: you know, his legacy was on. If you go down
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: to Mexico for Spanish, you call him Jesus, but that's
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: a different story. I get caught in that trap all
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: the time. His teachings became the foundation of Christianity and, Today,
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: his religion has 2.4 billion followers and shaped Western law, art, science,
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: politics for 2,000 years. Karl Marx, his writings created communism.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: His ideas led to the rise of the Soviet Union, China,
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: and Cuba and shaped the lives of over a billion
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: across the 20th century. Muhammad. No, not Ali, people. I
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: know you were waiting for me to come up.
• 27:16
  Speaker 7: No, not quite.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: But he founded Islam, unified the Arabian Peninsula in his lifetime.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: His followers built an empire stretching from Spain to India
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: within a hundred years of his death. Okay.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: Albert Einstein.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we got to have an Einstein sighting in here.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: You got one now. His theories rewrote physics, led directly
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: to the atomic bomb of Ask the Japanese how bad
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: that turned out. Okay, his 1939 letter to Roosevelt began
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: the Manhattan Project that ended World War II. Oh, we
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: can't forget about our buddy.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: Genghis Khan, people.
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: He united nomadic tribes and built the largest land empire
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: ever seen. His armies like 40 million people and reshaped Asia, Europe,
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: and the Middle East forever. There you have it. Eddie, start.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: I want to spend about five, ten minutes on this
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: at the most because there's a lot more to talk about.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: Go ahead.
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: Well, all of them are impressive people who made significant
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: impacts to what we have today. I'm going to go
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: out on a limb a little bit. I think, like
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: I said, everybody made great impacts, but I think Genghis
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: Khan for what he did over in the Far East
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: with how he His empire just spread and he was,
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: I mean, it was basically he set up all of
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: Asia in a way. I think that is very impressive.
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: I think getting into, when you look at Mohammed and
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: Jesus as growing up Irish Catholic, as Karl Marx said,
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: who's also in our list, sometimes religion is the opiate
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: of the masses. And I'll just finish it there. Jennifer?
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: Well, being a Jesus girl, I'm a Jesus girl. I
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: think regardless of whether you believe that he's the Christ
• 29:23
  Speaker 5: or not, I think it's impossible to argue that he's
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: the most impactful human to have ever lived. I mean,
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: to ever, you know, to have ever lived. And I
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: find that just his story alone, I find a fascinating story.
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: And I love stories. That's how I got into PR.
• 29:47
  Speaker 5: But I don't know. I love everything about and around
• 29:51
  Speaker 5: his story. I think it's a fascinating story. I think
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: the more you unravel it, the more impressive it is.
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: And then I have to throw Albert Einstein in there
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: because I just I love I love him. It was
• 30:05
  Speaker 5: the other one that was in Europe that developed the parachute.
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: What's that guy?
• 30:10
  Speaker 5: Why can't I think of his name?
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: Da Vinci.
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: Da Vinci.
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: I love him.
• 30:14
  Speaker 5: He I think he belonged. He belonged.
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 30:18
  Speaker 5: So many things.
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: So many.
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: Absolutely.
• 30:20
  Speaker 5: And he is one of my favorite, favorite favorites. So, Steve,
• 30:23
  Speaker 5: what do you say?
• 30:25
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and, you know, having been to the Middle East
• 30:29
  Speaker 6: and the Holy Land especially, you know, I was bodyguard
• 30:37
  Speaker 6: to some rich folks who were traveling there, but I
• 30:41
  Speaker 6: was with them. And we actually walked. There's still parts
• 30:49
  Speaker 6: of a Roman cobblestone road where they took Jesus up
• 30:53
  Speaker 6: to be crucified. and and we walked on that road
• 30:59
  Speaker 6: and you could still see back then they used to
• 31:01
  Speaker 6: run chariots and the ruts in the roman cobblestone road
• 31:06
  Speaker 6: where the chariots ran you can still see those and
• 31:10
  Speaker 6: um and like as our guide who was with us
• 31:14
  Speaker 6: now he was jewish but he said whether you believe
• 31:18
  Speaker 6: that jesus was you know what you know christians say
• 31:23
  Speaker 6: or whether you don't believe in anything. The fact remains
• 31:28
  Speaker 6: that he was a real person and he walked this
• 31:32
  Speaker 6: street that we're walking on right now. And if, and
• 31:36
  Speaker 6: if that doesn't get your blood flowing, I don't know
• 31:40
  Speaker 6: what to tell you. And, and it was, it was,
• 31:44
  Speaker 6: I mean, it was pretty, a pretty powerful morning, you know,
• 31:50
  Speaker 6: because we walked, like I said, up, there was parts
• 31:53
  Speaker 6: of that cobblestone road that was still there that he
• 31:56
  Speaker 6: carried the cross up. So that, that was, that was
• 32:02
  Speaker 6: really awesome. You know, cause you get a feel for
• 32:07
  Speaker 6: the old time. Cause I, I'm a huge lover of history. And,
• 32:13
  Speaker 6: and then, you know, we visited Pontius Pilate's house, which
• 32:17
  Speaker 6: parts of it are still standing. which speaks volumes of
• 32:20
  Speaker 6: the way the Romans could construct and engineer things. In fact,
• 32:25
  Speaker 6: Pontius Pilate's bathtub. Now, you've got to remember, Roman bathtubs,
• 32:30
  Speaker 6: they're not like the ones we see today that fit
• 32:33
  Speaker 6: in a little tiny cubby. They were huge. People would
• 32:38
  Speaker 6: all get in there at the same time. But his
• 32:41
  Speaker 6: bathtub was still tiled 2,000 years later.
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: Oh, wow.
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: That's crazy.
• 32:47
  Speaker 6: And it was funny because the day we visited, it
• 32:50
  Speaker 6: was pouring out, absolutely pouring out. And they had people
• 32:54
  Speaker 6: there that guide you through. Now you weren't allowed to,
• 32:57
  Speaker 6: you know, you could see it, but you weren't allowed
• 33:00
  Speaker 6: to go get near it. So then the people that
• 33:04
  Speaker 6: were there, I mean, it was coming down in buckets.
• 33:07
  Speaker 6: So they were taking my clients into like a museum area.
• 33:11
  Speaker 6: And I stayed behind where the bathtub was. And my
• 33:15
  Speaker 6: clients are like, what are you doing? Cause it was
• 33:17
  Speaker 6: pouring rain. I said, I'll catch up to you. And
• 33:20
  Speaker 6: I waited until they all went in the building. Cause
• 33:22
  Speaker 6: I said to my partner, I'm sitting in Pontius Pilate's bathtub.
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: Nice!
• 33:29
  Speaker 6: It was all full of water because it was pouring rain.
• 33:35
  Speaker 8: I sat in his bathtub and put my arms up there.
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: You bathed where they did.
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: There you go. That's awesome.
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: Our Israeli guide was like, see?
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: I knew it. You're one of the guys that killed him.
• 33:48
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: As they say, one in Rome, do as the Middle East.
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: I sat in Pontius Pilate's bathtub. I hope the Israelis
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: don't come to arrest me for that. Karl Marx, he
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: is what he is.
• 33:57
  Speaker 6: I'm not a big fan. Genghis Khan, it was A
• 34:17
  Speaker 6: very impressive warlord. Today, he would be considered a MAGA Republican.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: All very impressive people. I'm with you, Jen.
• 34:32
  Speaker 6: Albert Einstein is just such an intriguing character because as
• 34:36
  Speaker 6: brilliant as he was, he also could be silly. We've
• 34:40
  Speaker 6: seen the pictures of him being silly.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: I just love that about him.
• 34:46
  Speaker 5: You know, Marilyn Monroe was talking to Einstein about, you know,
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: she said we should have a baby. And he said, ah,
• 34:52
  Speaker 5: but then, you know, we'll probably come out with your
• 34:54
  Speaker 5: brains and my looks. But it turns out that her
• 34:57
  Speaker 5: IQ was actually higher than his.
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: Yes, she was actually. Oh, wow.
• 35:01
  Speaker 6: She played that dumb blonde thing. But she was actually
• 35:04
  Speaker 6: extremely well read and very intelligent.
• 35:08
  Speaker 5: That was a character she played. She's like, no one
• 35:10
  Speaker 5: gets it.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: You're so stupid.
• 35:12
  Speaker 6: Everyone thought that was really her and it really wasn't.
• 35:18
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: Okay, Candy, the last word.
• 35:22
  Speaker 5: Oh, come on.
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Candy.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: I went off on a tangent.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: Let me just say this. Any guy that goes out
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: there and has something to do with the atomic bomb
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: is okay in my book because here's the thing. And
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: I have to say this because this one hits closer
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: to the heart. My mother was born in the bombing
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: of Pearl Harbor, okay, to the day. And if it
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: took the guy, a man, or was it Einstein, to
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: develop this thing.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: Hell yeah, people.
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: The Japanese went way downtown, bang. All right. Mom, rest
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: in peace. Go ahead, Candy.
• 36:03
  Speaker 7: In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue. I mean, famous ships,
• 36:12
  Speaker 7: the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria. He left
• 36:17
  Speaker 7: Spain looking for a new route to Asia, but where
• 36:20
  Speaker 7: did he land? In the Americas. I like all the
• 36:26
  Speaker 7: ones you guys picked. Of course, I am a believer
• 36:28
  Speaker 7: in Jesus too, but I figured let's talk about somebody different.
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: Absolutely.
• 36:33
  Speaker 7: So there we go. Columbus sailed the ocean blue. Those
• 36:38
  Speaker 7: of you that are old enough to remember that rhyme,
• 36:41
  Speaker 7: they taught us that in school. I'm not so sure
• 36:43
  Speaker 7: that they teach that anymore. No.
• 36:46
  Speaker 5: It doesn't rhyme with indigenous people. Exactly.
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: There's not much rhymes with indigenous.
• 36:52
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Columbus is not very popular today in the schools.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: We have to remember the Nina, the Pinta, and the
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: Santa Maria. I mean, those were... Those were history tests.
• 37:04
  Speaker 6: Color them in.
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: You did the hand turkey and you did the three ships.
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: You got to do the hand turkey. You're absolutely right, Candy.
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: I remember that song now.
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: They're not teaching it today.
• 37:16
  Speaker 5: Nope. I mean, I'm grateful for him because I like
• 37:28
  Speaker 5: living here. I don't know where we'd be living or
• 37:30
  Speaker 5: actually I wouldn't even exist because my, you know, look.
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: At my hair.
• 37:34
  Speaker 5: It's all you asked, you know, for quite a while.
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: Let's move on.
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: Okay. Do all of us like cruises? I assume, right?
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: A lot of us do, right?
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: Never been on one.
• 37:46
  Speaker 5: You've never been on a cruise?
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 37:50
  Speaker 6: Nope.
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: So why am I bringing this up?
• 37:53
  Speaker 5: Well, bring it up.
• 37:54
  Speaker 7: I've been on cruises.
• 37:55
  Speaker 5: I mean, they're just not. I mean, I don't like
• 37:57
  Speaker 5: to be contained on a ship out in the middle
• 37:59
  Speaker 5: of nowhere. I would rather fly and get there and explore.
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: I'm not.
• 38:03
  Speaker 5: But I mean, I have friends and family that love.
• 38:05
  Speaker 5: They're all about cruises.
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: And then you don't have to pay attention.
• 38:08
  Speaker 5: You have entertainment the whole time. Day, night, food. everything
• 38:13
  Speaker 5: you want, the big pool. There's like some that have
• 38:16
  Speaker 5: massive excursions. There's some cool ones. The only one I
• 38:19
  Speaker 5: really want to go on is Alaska. And I want
• 38:23
  Speaker 5: to do, I think, I think it's silver seas or
• 38:25
  Speaker 5: something like that, or something like that. And it's, it's
• 38:29
  Speaker 5: really interactive. Like it has a lot of like sports
• 38:33
  Speaker 5: and everything that you do together on it. Like there's
• 38:35
  Speaker 5: kayaking and there's the whole thing, you know?
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: Well, that's a bucket list item because the reason why
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: I brought this up is it segues to another piece
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: of history that you may not want to know about.
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: And that's this. Distributively sad facts about the Titanic.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: Sorry, people.
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: It doesn't matter. At least the Alaskan crew got a
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: promotional thing. I have to lead up to this stuff.
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: The band played. So here, I'm going to list them.
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: The band played on. The Titanic's band kept playing for
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: two hours until the ship sank. All eight died. Okay,
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: let's continue on. Children locked. Only one-third class child out
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: of 79 survived. The rest locked below decks. Captain Smith.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: was retiring after this voyage. He went down with his
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: ship by choice. There's no retirement there. Warnings ignored. When
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: Titanic received six iceberg warnings the day of the sinking,
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: all were ignored. Half lifeboats. There were only enough lifeboats left.
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: for half the passengers because they ruined the deck aesthetic.
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: Freezing water, oh, that's a pain in the people. The
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: water was 28 degrees Fahrenheit. Most victims died of hypothermia
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: within 15 minutes. So there you have it. Go ahead, Eddie.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: Poor Jack died of hypothermia.
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 40:15
  Speaker 5: While Rose was on the.
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: That's right. And Rose didn't share that piece of wood
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: with them. I'm still pissed at Rose for that.
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: By the way. The only thing on the Titanic that
• 40:27
  Speaker 4: was happy about the sinking were the lobsters.
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: They got to live.
• 40:34
  Speaker 4: Anyway, no, they probably even died too. 28 degree water
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: is going to be a little bit cold for lobsters, maybe.
• 40:39
  Speaker 4: I don't know. That just... Actually, I think part of
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: the biggest tragedy of that whole tragedy is that the
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: number of children that were lost, any time children are lost,
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: the fact that the lesser classes, we'll call it, were low-deck,
• 40:58
  Speaker 4: so they couldn't get out. But to the whole conspiracy
• 41:02
  Speaker 4: theory world, there weren't enough votes. They missed the six
• 41:09
  Speaker 4: warnings to the icebergs. And so on. I mean, it's,
• 41:15
  Speaker 4: let's put it this way. It was a preventable tragedy
• 41:19
  Speaker 4: in my mind from everything I've read. So Jennifer, I think.
• 41:23
  Speaker 5: It's the biggest ego, ego crush of all times. You know,
• 41:28
  Speaker 5: it was really pure ego is the reason that they didn't,
• 41:32
  Speaker 5: they didn't think they needed any boats, you know, they didn't,
• 41:37
  Speaker 5: they didn't, yeah, they thought the boat was unsinkable and
• 41:39
  Speaker 5: they couldn't even fathom that it could be sinkable. To
• 41:42
  Speaker 5: the degree that they murdered, I mean, on this first voyage,
• 41:45
  Speaker 5: like the whole thing was a complete failure all because
• 41:49
  Speaker 5: of their egos. It's really just an ego grab and
• 41:52
  Speaker 5: it's awful. It's one of the greatest tragedies of, you know,
• 41:57
  Speaker 5: of shipping, I think, ever, you know, like it's just
• 42:00
  Speaker 5: an atrocity. Yeah. I feel badly for all those people,
• 42:05
  Speaker 5: but I am glad to hear that they died within
• 42:07
  Speaker 5: 15 minutes because.
• 42:10
  Speaker 7: Who wants that?
• 42:10
  Speaker 5: So that's actually, if I, if I've heard a positive thing,
• 42:13
  Speaker 5: they didn't suffer long, you know, although 15 minutes when
• 42:17
  Speaker 5: you're freezing cold is a long, yes.
• 42:18
  Speaker 4: And drowning is not a fun way to go.
• 42:22
  Speaker 7: Well, I don't know.
• 42:23
  Speaker 5: I've heard drowning is very peaceful.
• 42:26
  Speaker 4: Oh, is it? Okay.
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 42:28
  Speaker 4: I think it's Steve is, Steve is saying no, it's not.
• 42:32
  Speaker 5: I mean, I haven't drowned, so I don't know.
• 42:35
  Speaker 4: Somehow I think Steve knows.
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: And it's not peaceful at all. Did you die?
• 42:42
  Speaker 4: Huh?
• 42:43
  Speaker 5: Did you die and come back? I mean, I know
• 42:45
  Speaker 5: people that have died.
• 42:49
  Speaker 6: So I'm here to tell you it isn't. But the
• 42:53
  Speaker 6: worst part of this tragedy, it was completely preventable. Because
• 43:00
  Speaker 6: not only did they not pack lifeboats, half of the
• 43:04
  Speaker 6: lifeboats that they had went away almost completely empty. And
• 43:09
  Speaker 6: there was a ship less than 10 miles from them
• 43:13
  Speaker 6: that didn't have a radio operator on duty. When they
• 43:17
  Speaker 6: were sending out the distress call, nobody could, the radio
• 43:24
  Speaker 6: operator for the ship that was less than 10 miles away,
• 43:27
  Speaker 6: could have been there in a matter of minutes and
• 43:30
  Speaker 6: taken everybody off before the ship sank.
• 43:34
  Speaker 5: That's awesome. I never knew that part either.
• 43:37
  Speaker 4: No, I didn't know that.
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: The Carpathia was really close to them.
• 43:42
  Speaker 6: And one of the deck officers said, does the Titanic
• 43:48
  Speaker 6: look like it's listing? And the officer of the deck said,
• 43:53
  Speaker 6: it's just the angle that they're at. It was like,
• 43:55
  Speaker 6: how could the Titanic be listening? And then they were
• 43:59
  Speaker 6: shooting off flares. And the ship that was there was
• 44:05
  Speaker 6: talking about it. And they were like, well, they must
• 44:08
  Speaker 6: be having quite the party on there that they're shooting
• 44:11
  Speaker 6: off flares in the middle of the night. It was
• 44:15
  Speaker 6: completely preventable. They could, I mean, they probably wouldn't have
• 44:19
  Speaker 6: lost anybody if, you know, a bunch of different things
• 44:24
  Speaker 6: had happened. And that's the biggest tragedy in the entire.
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: Fiasco that it was.
• 44:34
  Speaker 6: But nowadays, I mean, they talk about the Titanic like
• 44:38
  Speaker 6: it was this massive ship. Today, it would be like
• 44:42
  Speaker 6: a rowboat compared to the cruise ship today.
• 44:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 44:48
  Speaker 6: It was like, yeah, that, you know, when you read
• 44:52
  Speaker 6: that book, I think it was called A Night to Remember,
• 44:56
  Speaker 6: if I'm not mistaken. I read it a long time ago.
• 44:59
  Speaker 6: There was a ship less than 10 miles away.
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the biggest takeaway for me as I
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: turn over to Candy to wrap it up, preventable, for sure.
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: Didn't have to happen, preventable. If you don't prevent things,
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: you're just setting yourself up for bad stuff. Go ahead, Candy.
• 45:14
  Speaker 7: They're also saying that researchers say, finally, in 2017, research
• 45:19
  Speaker 7: emerged emerged that it wasn't just an iceberg that sank
• 45:25
  Speaker 7: the Titanic, but also a fire that damaged the ship
• 45:29
  Speaker 7: and was covered up by the company that built it.
• 45:34
  Speaker 7: Researchers say the fire burned for nearly three weeks leading
• 45:37
  Speaker 7: up to the collision, and officers on board were allegedly
• 45:42
  Speaker 7: told not to mention the prior damage to any of
• 45:46
  Speaker 7: the passengers aboard the ship, Steve, to your point, the
• 45:51
  Speaker 7: ship that actually came to rescue them actually didn't have,
• 45:57
  Speaker 7: and this is going to sound kind of gross, but
• 45:59
  Speaker 7: didn't have enough embalming fluid to take on as many passengers.
• 46:03
  Speaker 7: So they only took 306 back to land because they
• 46:10
  Speaker 7: ran out. There was a body of a baby that
• 46:16
  Speaker 7: they never found out who she was. They never found
• 46:19
  Speaker 7: out her name. That I thought was very sad. One
• 46:25
  Speaker 7: of the other things that I had read, what was it?
• 46:29
  Speaker 7: There was one last thing. Yeah, it was a 19-month-old toddler.
• 46:35
  Speaker 7: For decades, she was known as the unknown child. So
• 46:40
  Speaker 7: that was sad. But yeah, completely preventable. Really sad. Sad
• 46:46
  Speaker 7: that We are so vain in our society that what
• 46:52
  Speaker 7: the looks of the ship were was over the safety
• 46:57
  Speaker 7: of having more lifeboats on that boat. Like, I get
• 47:00
  Speaker 7: you thought it was unsinkable, but that's just, I'm sorry,
• 47:03
  Speaker 7: it's just wrong.
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: Okay, back to travel. The largest countries in Europe are,
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: let's go to the scoreboard.
• 47:11
  Speaker 3: France.
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: I don't know this kilometer business. I'll just list them.
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: A metric system that I just don't get along too good,
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: but I'll just list them in the order. There's 25
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: of them. You got France, Ukraine. This is one through
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: 25 in the order. I'm reading them. You got France, Ukraine, Spain, Sweden, Norway, Germany, Finland, Poland, Italy,
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: United Kingdom, Romania, Belarus, Greece, Bulgaria, Iceland. Love it up there, people. Hungary, Portugal,
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: not bad. Serbia, Austria, Czechia, Ireland, Lithuania, Latvia, Croatia, Bosnia,
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: and Herzegovina. All right. Well, you know what? Rapid fire
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: on this one.
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: What about Russia?
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: Not on that list of 25, brother.
• 48:02
  Speaker 5: Did you say Italy?
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 48:05
  Speaker 5: Oh, you just, I was like, you're Italy.
• 48:06
  Speaker 4: She said Italy.
• 48:08
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, Russia's part of Europe.
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 48:11
  Speaker 4: Russia's huge.
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: It ain't on the list. I'm only reading what's on
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: the list, Steve-O.
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: Okay. I'll send it to you. I'll shut up?
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: No, you don't have to shut up.
• 48:21
  Speaker 4: You can do the fact-checking.
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: He's going to start doing the fact-checking. I put Russia
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: on the list, but I'm going to send this to you.
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: I like sending the stuff after the fact, so that way... No,
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: I believe you. I always thought... I mean, it's Eastern Europe,
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: for sure.
• 48:40
  Speaker 4: Romania's there.
• 48:43
  Speaker 5: Romania's on.
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: Part of it.
• 48:46
  Speaker 6: Ukraine, I mean, you know, it borders Ukraine.
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: I sent it to you. You can build off of
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: what you want to say there. I'm just putting it
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: in there. It's okay.
• 48:55
  Speaker 6: No, that's fine. I mean, I like the list. And,
• 48:59
  Speaker 6: you know, probably the smallest country would be what?
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: Luxembourg?
• 49:06
  Speaker 5: Oh, which one?
• 49:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Luxembourg.
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: Luxembourg. I mean, that's pretty tiny. Or Monaco. I guess
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: Monaco is considered its own.
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 49:20
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 49:21
  Speaker 4: No, Monaco isn't. Is the Vatican considered its own? You
• 49:26
  Speaker 4: know what? Vatican City?
• 49:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Vatican. Vatican City, I think, is the smallest country.
• 49:32
  Speaker 4: Country, yeah. Around, yeah. Is that, yeah.
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: In the world.
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: France is the biggest one that you have listed there, Scott?
• 49:41
  Speaker 5: For tourism, right? Biggest for tourism, because it's certainly not
• 49:44
  Speaker 5: the biggest.
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm just looking at the largest countries
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: in Europe.
• 49:50
  Speaker 5: Oh, largest by size?
• 49:54
  Speaker 6: France is pretty large. A lot of Europe is small.
• 49:58
  Speaker 6: It's the largest.
• 50:02
  Speaker 7: Countries in Europe by land area.
• 50:05
  Speaker 4: Oh, really? And France is number one? Wow. Well, didn't
• 50:10
  Speaker 4: you say Russia was number one, Candy?
• 50:14
  Speaker 7: It says excluding European Russia, so that list does.
• 50:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 50:18
  Speaker 5: Because land would be Russia right off the bat.
• 50:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 50:23
  Speaker 5: They all fit inside.
• 50:24
  Speaker 4: You put all of Western Europe inside of Russia for
• 50:28
  Speaker 4: them to spare.
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 50:29
  Speaker 5: I did get to, in 2005, a friend of mine
• 50:32
  Speaker 5: and I rented a car and we went to Paris,
• 50:37
  Speaker 5: France first, and then we drove all over France. And
• 50:40
  Speaker 5: it was wonderful. It's a trip I highly recommend because
• 50:43
  Speaker 5: we went to the castles, we got to Dubois, and
• 50:46
  Speaker 5: then we went to... you know, the Versailles, which was
• 50:49
  Speaker 5: the granddaddy of them all. And we did, we went
• 50:52
  Speaker 5: to Burgundy. We went to orange, La Ronge, whichever way
• 50:57
  Speaker 5: you're saying it, you know, if I say La Ronge,
• 50:59
  Speaker 5: you won't know that I mean orange, but we went
• 51:03
  Speaker 5: to where the lavender grows. We went to Nice. I mean,
• 51:05
  Speaker 5: we did it all.
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: It was wonderful.
• 51:08
  Speaker 5: And that's, that's kind of fun. So France, I guess is,
• 51:11
  Speaker 5: I mean, we spent what two whole weeks, I think
• 51:13
  Speaker 5: just driving around.
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: That's awesome.
• 51:15
  Speaker 6: Yeah, my dad's best friend that he served with in
• 51:19
  Speaker 6: World War II, he kept a diary. And just before
• 51:26
  Speaker 6: he passed away, him and his daughter went back to
• 51:30
  Speaker 6: Europe and they took step by step from where he
• 51:36
  Speaker 6: came ashore all the way through the end of the
• 51:39
  Speaker 6: war to where they had gone into Germany and then
• 51:43
  Speaker 6: later Czechoslovakia. But he went to all the little towns
• 51:47
  Speaker 6: in France that he served in. And he actually met
• 51:55
  Speaker 6: some of the people that remembered him because he interacted
• 52:00
  Speaker 6: with them during the war.
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: Oh, wow.
• 52:03
  Speaker 6: And he had photos and all this. And some of
• 52:07
  Speaker 6: the people were still alive, obviously. And they remembered and
• 52:12
  Speaker 6: they pulled out pictures of their own. it was, uh,
• 52:15
  Speaker 6: it was quite the trip because he was emailing me.
• 52:18
  Speaker 6: My dad had already passed on, but because those two
• 52:22
  Speaker 6: were so close, he was emailing me pictures of, you know,
• 52:27
  Speaker 6: his trip.
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: And then it was, it was awesome.
• 52:31
  Speaker 6: I would have loved to have been on it with them,
• 52:33
  Speaker 6: you know, because I just think trips like that are so,
• 52:37
  Speaker 6: so cool.
• 52:38
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 52:38
  Speaker 6: You know, but, uh, I didn't have a good experience
• 52:44
  Speaker 6: in Paris, but I don't hope. I was supposed to
• 52:51
  Speaker 6: fly home from the Middle East for Thanksgiving, and I
• 52:55
  Speaker 6: got stuck in Paris.
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: Did you make it to the Eiffel Tower at least?
• 53:01
  Speaker 6: I made it to the bottom. That day, if I
• 53:08
  Speaker 6: had gone to the top, I probably would have jumped off.
• 53:11
  Speaker 6: I was not a happy gal.
• 53:12
  Speaker 5: You were tired.
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: No, I'm glad you didn't do that, Steve. I'm telling you,
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: you missed a lot of the top candy. In fact,
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: you know what we're going to do one of these times?
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: We're going to put a video of the Eiffel Tower
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: of me going ballistic over there on a future edition.
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: I go ballistic everywhere.
• 53:25
  Speaker 4: What's the difference?
• 53:27
  Speaker 7: This is a thing?
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: Oh, yes, I guess so. That's what keeps me active
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: and crazy. You don't know me either way, Jen, do you?
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: I had a wonderful time in England, Scotland.
• 53:41
  Speaker 5: Oh, I want to have, I haven't been, that's on
• 53:43
  Speaker 5: my list. I'm actually Scottish and English. I mean, I've
• 53:46
  Speaker 5: done a little bit.
• 53:47
  Speaker 6: It took me like four months to recover from how
• 53:50
  Speaker 6: much alcohol we drank during that trip.
• 53:54
  Speaker 5: I mean, did you go to Ireland too? Cause I
• 53:55
  Speaker 5: want to do Ireland, Scotland.
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: And, and I didn't make it to Ireland.
• 53:59
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: I do want to do that.
• 54:01
  Speaker 6: I met up with some British soldiers that I was
• 54:04
  Speaker 6: friends with and, uh, And we tried to drink the country.
• 54:14
  Speaker 4: Dry.
• 54:14
  Speaker 6: And almost succeeded. In fact, almost got arrested at Buckingham Palace.
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 54:21
  Speaker 6: Because we drove on the sidewalk because we were too
• 54:25
  Speaker 6: polluted to get out of the car. And he drove
• 54:28
  Speaker 6: on the sidewalk at Buckingham. And those soldiers, you know,
• 54:32
  Speaker 6: that never moved.
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: Oh, they moved. Oh, I would imagine.
• 54:36
  Speaker 6: They came out of the woodwork and, yeah, stuck guns
• 54:41
  Speaker 6: in our face through the window.
• 54:42
  Speaker 5: That's not joyous.
• 54:45
  Speaker 4: Steve calls it International Winston.
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: Right. They called us a bunch of bad names in England.
• 54:53
  Speaker 5: Did you get arrested?
• 54:54
  Speaker 4: Nope.
• 54:55
  Speaker 6: They just told us, you know, you go that way,
• 55:00
  Speaker 6: keep going. And the guy looked at me with his
• 55:02
  Speaker 6: gun And he was pointing it in my face. And
• 55:05
  Speaker 6: he goes, and you go back to where you belong.
• 55:12
  Speaker 4: Stupid American.
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: I'm just an innocent tourist. I thought I was going
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: for a ride. And the guy's like, you're going to
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: go for a ride.
• 55:22
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: If you talk to candy, I didn't have one of
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: those nice interactions when it came to the cab that
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: one day. And I stuck it right in there. and
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: we ended up finding a last-minute transport after that. All right, Candy,
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: do you have a last word? We have a few
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: more topics I want to try to get to, but
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: we're definitely going to get to our featured topic later tonight. Candy,
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: any final words?
• 55:46
  Speaker 7: You know, we've been to seven of those countries, Scott,
• 55:49
  Speaker 7: but it all started, what, a little over a year
• 55:53
  Speaker 7: and a half ago. Oh, really?
• 55:55
  Speaker 4: Nice.
• 55:58
  Speaker 3: That's good progress.
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: A lot more to go. Did you do Croatia?
• 56:03
  Speaker 5: Croatia is awesome. If you guys get a chance to
• 56:06
  Speaker 5: go to Croatia, go to Croatia. The kindest people in
• 56:09
  Speaker 5: the world and just amazing. And get a catamaran. It's
• 56:13
  Speaker 5: a great way to see the islands.
• 56:15
  Speaker 3: Cool.
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: I love this travel advice. That's why this is like
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: our unofficial travel show.
• 56:19
  Speaker 5: Fabulous way to do Croatia.
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: Croatia.
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: I heard that. It's gorgeous.
• 56:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it is.
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 56:26
  Speaker 3: Let's go to our.
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: Feature topic of the night. Oh, is it a good one?
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: I love candy. All right. You're looking for a good
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: place to go to Chicago? I mean, I can tell
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: you lots of great places to eat. I mean, let's
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: think about some of the places we have. It's called
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: the Candy Hall of Fame. It's officially coming to Chicago
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: in 2027, people. There you have it. Candy Hall of Fame. Oh,
• 56:51
  Speaker 2: my goodness. I get back to Chicago. I'm definitely going there,
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: but at least I have the real thing like Coca-Cola here.
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: All right, go ahead. Give me some reaction, Eddie.
• 57:02
  Speaker 4: Oh, Candy Hall of Fame. Sounds like a fun time. Just,
• 57:04
  Speaker 4: you know, bring a big empty bag and hopefully they
• 57:08
  Speaker 4: have samples.
• 57:09
  Speaker 5: I'm sure.
• 57:10
  Speaker 4: It's like going to Hershey. I live about two hours
• 57:13
  Speaker 4: from Hershey Park, just south of Hershey Park. So we've
• 57:16
  Speaker 4: gone there a lot. We've gone there a lot over
• 57:19
  Speaker 4: the years with the kids. Even my wife and I
• 57:22
  Speaker 4: go there. And they have a place called Chocolate World.
• 57:26
  Speaker 4: And you go in and it has... It has all
• 57:30
  Speaker 4: the chocolate that Hershey makes and then some. And a
• 57:32
  Speaker 4: lot of times they will have stuff you can't get
• 57:35
  Speaker 4: in stores. They just have it. They just sell it there.
• 57:39
  Speaker 4: So it's really cool. So I could just imagine a
• 57:42
  Speaker 4: Candy Hall of Fame would be a fun go-to, especially
• 57:45
  Speaker 4: with a candy person. Jen?
• 57:47
  Speaker 5: I mean, who doesn't love candy, right? Like, it's kind
• 57:51
  Speaker 5: of fun. I probably would argue over what's in there, though,
• 57:55
  Speaker 5: because like you think about all the candies that we
• 57:57
  Speaker 5: grew up with. Right. I mean, even down to that
• 57:59
  Speaker 5: blackjack gum. Remember that blackjack gum back from the way, way,
• 58:03
  Speaker 5: way back. And there was other other ones around that.
• 58:06
  Speaker 5: And then that zebra gum with the colors and stuff
• 58:09
  Speaker 5: like that. And then there was a candy cigarettes. You know,
• 58:13
  Speaker 5: those aren't around anymore.
• 58:15
  Speaker 4: You can't pretend you're smoking anymore.
• 58:21
  Speaker 5: And then M & M' s to me, M & M' s
• 58:22
  Speaker 5: is the greatest. Like when I, when you first mentioned this,
• 58:25
  Speaker 5: all I thought of was that big M & M
• 58:26
  Speaker 5: thing in Las Vegas, you know, this is a huge
• 58:29
  Speaker 5: M & M' s store. And I thought, wait, isn't there
• 58:31
  Speaker 5: a hall of fame already in Vegas? But then I thought, oh,
• 58:33
  Speaker 5: I guess that's just a specific type of candy only.
• 58:37
  Speaker 5: I guess it's all the M & M' s, you know?
• 58:39
  Speaker 5: And then, I mean, you got to put Trader Joe's
• 58:42
  Speaker 5: in there. They have all my favorite candies these days.
• 58:44
  Speaker 5: And those darn Swedish fish, those stupid Swedish fish. I
• 58:49
  Speaker 5: can't stop eating them. Steve, what about you?
• 58:52
  Speaker 3: What kind of candy gets you?
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: Oh, and whatchamacallits. Milky Way is kryptonite for me.
• 58:58
  Speaker 5: Ah, Milky Way.
• 59:00
  Speaker 6: In fact, I'm going to go off on another stupid anecdote,
• 59:03
  Speaker 6: but here it is.
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: When I was in SEER school, and.
• 59:07
  Speaker 6: I don't know if you guys are aware of what
• 59:09
  Speaker 6: SEER school is. It's a survival, evasion, resistance, and escape.
• 59:16
  Speaker 6: It is a very, very realistic survival and POW course
• 59:25
  Speaker 6: to where they put you in places that you don't
• 59:28
  Speaker 6: ever want to be. And you get beat up pretty
• 59:31
  Speaker 6: good and they interrogate you and you're supposed to keep
• 59:35
  Speaker 6: up with your cover story.
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: Well, they freeze you.
• 59:39
  Speaker 6: They, you know, make you do crazy stuff, right? So
• 59:44
  Speaker 6: you're in a cell where you're, it's like just above
• 59:49
  Speaker 6: freezing because it was in the wintertime. Shivering like a
• 59:53
  Speaker 6: cat trying to crap a razor blade. Then they bring
• 59:56
  Speaker 6: you in a room that's like 105 degrees. And they
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 6: have an interrogator in there. There's a desk and there's
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 6: two big, huge dudes behind you just waiting for the
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 6: nod where they beat you up. Well, what's sitting on
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 6: the desk? Is it Milky Way? So then they start
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 6: with this.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 6: And I was having a hard time staying awake because
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 6: after you're freezing and then you go in a room
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 6: where it's so hot, I couldn't keep my eyes open.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 6: So I was like thinking to myself in stupid Bostonian terms,
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 6: I have to do something that's going to get me
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 6: in trouble so I can get out of this room.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: Right. So they said, you know, why are you here?
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 8: And I said, do you really want to know why
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 8: I'm here? I said, give me that freaking candy bar
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 8: right there. And I'll tell you stuff that you wouldn't
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 8: even believe. It'll make your toes curl. well, they thought
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 8: it's like, you know, I was playing the game. So
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 8: then these two big guys beat the snot out of me.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: Knock me over in the chair.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: Cause you're, you're, you're sitting in this chair, knock me
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: right over.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 6: And I never got that candy bar and I'm still
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 6: ticked about it. And afterwards, like when the school's all
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 6: over you, you, you get, like a day to decompress
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 6: or whatever.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: Then you have to go back.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 6: And you sit in a room with the guy who
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 6: goes over all your interrogation and they tell you what
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 6: you did right and wrong. And he goes, what the
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 6: hell possessed you to say that? Because you had to
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 6: know what was coming. And I said, I really wanted
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 6: the candy bar.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 5: I feel like I should send you one of those
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 5: fun-sized Halloween candies, all milky way.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 6: It wasn't the school solution, and it really wasn't too smart.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: But that's what it is. And so if the Russians
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: are listening, if you ever.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 6: Grab me, just have a handful of candy bars, and
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 6: I'll tell you what you need to know.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 4: You'll sing like a songbird.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Milky Ways.
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 5: I do like Milky Way, though, because Milky Way was
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 5: like Three Musketeers with caramel on it.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 5: It was kind.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: Of like a bonus.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 6: And like when I was in England, they had Mars Bars,
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 6: which is basically the same thing.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 2: Oh, I love Mars Bars.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 5: Oh, that's a blast from the past.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: I'm getting hungry.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 6: I would go down to the Little Corner store there
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 6: in England.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: And the guy would have like a little box of
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: Mars bars. And I'd say, I'll take all of these.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: Thank you. He's like, you got a sweet tooth. I
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: got a sweet tooth.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 5: Scott's ready for a candy bar candy.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I am. Well, you know what? I normally don't
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 2: usually put candy in the title. This was too good
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 2: to pass up. I got a few more. I want
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 2: to try to get to go ahead. Candy.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: Sorry, candy.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: I did it again.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 7: That's okay, Steve.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: It's no big deal.
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 7: The Candy Hall of Fame experience is a 60,000 square
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 7: foot multi-level destination coming to 830 North Michigan Avenue along
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 7: Chicago's magnificent mile. It was selected following a national evaluation.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 7: It came down to Chicago, Orlando, or New York City.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 7: Chicago won. For more than a century, Chicago has been
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 7: home to some of the most iconic names in American candy,
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 7: including Ferrara, Mars, Broshes, Tootsie, and Wrigley. Even Milton Hershey
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 7: found his chocolate inspiration in Chicago at the 1893 World's Fair.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 7: So that goes way back. The Candy Hall of Fame
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 7: experience will be a permanent attraction, bringing together the history
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 7: of the confectionery industry and the development of well-known candy brands,
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 7: and the innovators and entrepreneurs behind them. They also said
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 7: that candy carries joy across generations. So our goal is
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 7: to give that joy a place, one that celebrates imagination, invention,
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 7: and the shared delight people feel when they encounter something sweet.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: All right, Candy, we'll get you there one of these days.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 2: You convinced me it's a good place to go. When
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 2: we're in Chicago. All right, let's continue. Any other thoughts
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: other than the research? Are you impressed? See, I have
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: Scott Towle named after me. Now you got your own store.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 5: She doesn't get a store, she gets a whole.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 2: Hall of fame.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 7: The one thing I will say, Scott, everybody loves candy.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 7: Whether it be candy or me, you know what?
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 2: Well, you know what?
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 7: I'll tell you.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 3: I love Candy.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: Let me tell you something about her the other night.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 2: Get this to you. It's too bad you weren't on
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: this show. Inside the pigskin, okay, my buddy Andy Canavino,
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 2: who you and I will be talking about at a
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 2: later date, said, Candy, I need you to research this. Candy,
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 2: I need you to research this. He already knows what
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: a role is already. Canavino's a quick study. All right, well,
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 2: you know what? I also have a couple cities named
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 2: after me, too, if you didn't know that.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 7: Scottsdale?
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 2: Well, that one too. But I have.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: Bullhead City, people.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: For those of you getting my way, I'm Bullhead City
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 2: in Scottsdale. I take pride in that stuff.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 3: You own it.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you another thing. I used to have a
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 2: grocery store back in Michigan called Great Scott.
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 2: Let me not get too big-headed here. A couple more
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 2: topics that are outrageous that fall in line with what
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 2: this show is about. Now we go from candy to
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 2: a town in England that canceled New Year's Eve fireworks.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 2: So Thor, the walrus could sleep peacefully before migrating. Oh,
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 2: how England loves their walruses and how nice it is
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 2: when you have fireworks before migrating.
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 2: Rapid fire on this one, Eddie.
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 4: I think it's great. You know, I'll be honest with
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 4: you as a dog owner and one who's had dogs.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 4: I love fireworks and they were good, but to an extent,
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 4: I'd rather they can freak out dogs and I get
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 4: it why they want them. The walrus has a long
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 4: swim to go. He wants it to rest. So I
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 4: think it's great. Jen?
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 5: I mean, I live in high fire area and I
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 5: just don't think fireworks belong in homes anymore. I mean,
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 5: I watched how many, one guy, you know, blew up
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 5: his head in front of his own child. Other people, like,
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 5: I just think, I like the firework shows. I think
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 5: we should just leave it to the professionals. It is
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 5: a very, very dangerous thing. And I think people forget
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 5: how absolutely dangerous it is. Even back in high school,
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 5: I knew a guy who had a flower and stuck
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 5: it in his pocket and it blew up and now,
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 5: you know, and he like his whole leg blew up.
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 5: It was kind of crazy, but yeah, I mean, I
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 5: think they're dangerous. So let the, let the walrus to sleep.
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 5: My dogs go crazy. I think I agree.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 7: Steve.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 2: Same here.
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 6: I mean, uh, My insane little French bulldog there. He
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 6: did not like July 4th. Oh, my God. I didn't
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 6: know if we were going to have to sedate him.
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 6: I mean, he was not a happy camper. But, hey,
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 6: good for the walrus. I mean, yeah, it was a
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 6: long swim. He needed his rest.
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 4: Absolutely.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 2: Hey, sleep. Let me tell you, sleep is an important
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 2: part of this culture. I just haven't figured it out
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 2: after all this time because I have that thing called insomnia. Hey, Jen,
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 2: in fact, you're on the West Coast. It's okay if
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 2: I call you late at night just to shoot the
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 2: breeze because you're three hours behind, right?
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 5: I don't talk late at night. I go to bed.
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 5: My dog's in bed by nine, and he's like, why
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 5: are you so late?
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 2: That's okay. I'm just messing with you about insomnia, sleep,
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 2: and all that good stuff.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 2: Okay, go ahead, Candy.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 3: I have.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 7: Cures.
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 2: Steve, you already talked about this, right, Steve?
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 4: Yes, he did.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 2: Okay, go ahead, Candy.
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 7: It happened in Scarborough as residents were ringing in 2023.
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 7: They sighted a walrus on a boat ramp around 11.30 p.m.
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 7: on December 30th. The wildlife rescuers had hoped that the
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 7: male walrus, nicknamed Thor, would rest for a bit and
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 7: then slip back into the harbor by the time the
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 7: public woke up the next morning. Instead, he got comfy
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 7: and decided to park it for a while. Lots of
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 7: people went by him, though. He did get a little
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 7: agitated by some of the car lights and some of
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 7: the noise. That's why they decided to cancel the fireworks
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 7: because they didn't want to overwhelm him. They knew he
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 7: had been swimming for quite a while. After this, he
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 7: did take a 70 mile, they actually saw him later,
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 7: 70 miles north. Just a couple of days later after this. So,
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 7: but yeah.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 5: Apparently if you rest well, you can swim 70 miles. Yeah. Impressive.
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 2: All right, Candy, you have another topic right up your alley.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 2: You ready for this one?
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 7: Give it to me, Scott.
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 2: All right, Candy. Oh, I'm sure you can't when I
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: get done spitting this one out of my mouth. Okay.
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 2: Ohio State adds Chase Bank jersey patch and deal was
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 2: reportedly worth 17 million bucks. Candy, some thoughts.
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I knew about this before you brought it up
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 7: as a topic. Those of you that don't know, I
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 7: do work at Chase Bank. So Chase Bank has been
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 7: one of the sponsors for Ohio State. So Ohio State
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 7: is wearing a patch on their uniforms. kind of as
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 7: a co, let's see, advertising, sponsoring, let's face it, a
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 7: lot of banks sponsor, obviously because you know naming rights
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 7: of stadiums and stuff like that. Sometimes when you can't
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 7: name a stadium, you give money to, you know, a
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 7: college or whatnot. So, yeah, Chase has given money to
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 7: the Ohio State, whether I really like that or not.
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 7: Ohio State announced a landmark multi-year partnership in July. It
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 7: adds the company logo as a patch on all 36
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 7: varsity team jerseys. Chase is paying Ohio State nearly $ 17
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 7: million each season.
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 7: The Chase logo on the uniform is altered, though I
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 7: will say this, to match the school's colors.
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 4: Oh.
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 7: And a large portion of the fund helps support student athletes. NIL.
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: We'll go reverse order on this one. Steve?
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah. You know, so many other teams and, you know,
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: organizations do this.
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 6: I don't have any problem with it. Good for Ohio State.
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 6: Good for Chase Bank. You know, I think it's fine.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 6: I mean, everybody else does it.
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 4: Why?
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 6: Why shouldn't they get in, you know, in the mix
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 6: of it? And I'm glad to hear at least some
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 6: of the money's going to the student athletes.
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 7: Can I say one last, a couple of things?
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 4: Sure.
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 7: A couple more things. Chase employs over 18,000 people in
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 7: central Ohio, has deep historic roots in Columbus, and the
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 7: bank also provides student athletes with tools and classes to
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 7: to manage money taxes and wealth to help them out
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 7: as well that's.
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 4: Nice okay that's okay.
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 5: I'm a fan of chase bank i think i think
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 5: they chase does a lot of really good things i
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 5: think and i think that they take care of their
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 5: clients as well their customers i'm a fan i think
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 5: this is a great thing i don't i don't have
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 5: a problem with this whatsoever i'm not a fan of
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 5: nil but that's a whole nother ball of wax. I
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 5: just think every time you throw money at, at anything,
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 5: it ruins the whole thing. And I think that now
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 5: we've ruined college sports to be just like sports. I'm
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 5: not a fan of that, but I am a fan
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 5: of those courses that you just said, like to me,
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 5: that's the whole, that's the Ballywick. I mean, that's why
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 5: you would want that whole marriage. And I think it's
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 5: a great sponsorship, Ed. I.
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 4: I, Candy answered my question I was going to ask
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 4: is what is Chase's ROI on this $ 17 million a
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 4: year investment? And now it's obvious because they're going to
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 4: teach these student athletes who might go pro, who might
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 4: get a lot of money, who might put their money
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 4: into the Chase Bank.
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 4: Makes sense. My number two thought is, you know, these
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 4: other sports are just catching up to NASCAR and auto racing.
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 4: Auto racing has been doing this for years, selling pieces
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 4: of the car, to slap stickers and stuff. When I,
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 4: I actually worked at a company and we knew, uh,
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 4: like a third tier racer that we were going to,
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 4: we were pricing out, slapping our logo on. It never had,
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 4: it was funny at that point in time, it never happened.
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 4: I had left like 10 years later, they actually ended
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 4: up doing, putting their logo on a car. So it was,
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 4: but no, but I mean, every, everybody's doing it. It's, it's, it's,
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 4: It's kind of a cool way to advertise. You know, everybody, yeah,
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 4: got the logo on the car, got the logo on
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 4: the jersey. I mean, hockey's doing it. Basketball does it.
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 4: I think every major sport's doing it nowadays. So kudos
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 4: to them.
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I'm all one on case. I know a
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 2: person that works there, and I do all my banking there,
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 2: and I'll leave it at that.
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 4: I just have a question for Candy, though. Does she
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 4: have to, because of this agreement, does she have to...
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 4: Does she have to keep her allegiance to Wisconsin on
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 4: the down low now, and she has to root for Ohio?
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 4: If Ohio State plays Wisconsin, does she have to stand
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 4: with the corporation and root for Ohio State? Root for
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 4: the Ohio State?
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: She's had.
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 2: She's had. You know, Ed, that was a good and
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 2: obvious question. All right, last topic of the night.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 5: Ready?
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 2: A man bought a warehouse for 500 bucks, and guess what?
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 2: and found $ 7. 5 million in cash inside.
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: Oh, holy moly, people.
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 2: All right, go ahead, Eddie.
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 4: If I bought a warehouse for $ 500, I'd walk out
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 4: of it, it'd burn down before I could get insurance
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 4: on it, and I'd be out $ 500. I would not
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 4: find $ 7.
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 6: 5 million in an old warehouse.
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 4: That's... Ed McAndrew does not, luck does not roll like
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 4: that for me.
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 5: Can't so clear to lead on that kind of energy.
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 3: Open it up and open it up and.
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 5: Say, I will be the next one to purchase.
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 4: Go ahead, Jen.
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 3: It's all yours.
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 5: I'm going to go 1.9 million.
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: Why not?
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 3: Or whatever.
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 4: Exactly.
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 5: 18.9.
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's 25 million. I say good for that guy.
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 3: Fantastic for him.
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 5: I love, I love that.
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 3: That's, That's a crazy story.
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 5: I want to know whose money that is.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 4: I'll find it 20 bucks in my pocket.
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 6: I don't think he was very smart. I'll tell you that.
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 6: Because if I bought the warehouse... and found $ 7. 5 million.
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 6: I've been on the news.
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 9: Saying, I found $ 1, 500 in here. Get their hands on
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 9: that $ 7. 5 million. I'm here to tell you. Hey, I
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 9: found $ 1, 500. I just tripled my investment.
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 4: What happens if it's the bad guys?
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 2: Just give me that kind of luck.
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: I'll take it. I'd be lucky if I found a quarter.
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 7: So the incredible discovery was made public in November of
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 7: 2018 by Dan Dotson, the professional auctioneer and star of
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 7: the reality TV show Storage Wars. Oh, wow. The buyer
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 7: bid $ 500 on an abandoned storage unit in Southern California.
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 7: Inside the unit was a large, heavy safe. The buyer
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 7: had to hire two different locksmiths before successfully getting it
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 7: open and Once opened, the safe was found to be
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 7: packed with $ 7. 5 million in neatly bundled cash.
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 6: What kind of moron doesn't pay his storage fees when
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 6: you have $ 7.
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 1: 5 million?
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 5: Well, they're probably arrested. They're probably unable. So I know
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 5: this guy who actually got arrested in.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 5: It starts with an R and it's in Africa. Why
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 5: can't I think of what it's... Rwanda.
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 4: Rwanda. Yes.
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 5: And his story is interesting because he got arrested in 2019,
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 5: was arrested for two years, came out in 2021. He
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 5: was a professional speaker. He got arrested doing events because
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 5: he promised $ 197 worth of.
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 5: Worth, you know, $ 179 worth of value if you came
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 5: to his event. And the Rwandan government arrested him because
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 5: They've said, no, you promised everyone one hundred and ninety
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 5: seven Rwandan dollars. And he's like, no, I did it
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 5: like it's not the marketing. But so we got arrested,
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 5: came out in twenty twenty one. But look at what
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 5: happened in there was covid. So he came out. He
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 5: lost he lost his he had no access. He couldn't
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 5: pay any bills, any credit cards, any he lost his
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 5: whole database because he couldn't keep that up. So he
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 5: lost everything just because no one could access. He had
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 5: no phone and, you know, no way for anybody like
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 5: his team, his team lost their jobs. He lost his company.
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 5: And then he came out and the whole world's not
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 5: even doing events anymore. He's like, he felt like he
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 5: was in the twilight zone. But so that could have
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 5: probably is likely something around that story, either dead in jail, something.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 5: you know where yeah we can't get to it but
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 5: that money like why you would want to report it
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 5: first is is that you yeah because you got to
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 5: make sure like where what is this money tied to
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 5: if it was like a bank heist or something or
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 5: who knows what.
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 6: I don't know why would you put a safe in
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 6: a storage.
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 5: Locker I mean, people do crazy things.
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 1: That's very true.
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 2: And you know what? I'll say this. The crazier things
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 2: they do, the more likely they're going to be on
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 2: the big show, the Motor.
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: City Mad Mouth show, people.
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 2: I am on the hunt looking for content with this show.
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 2: I don't want this to be no normal show, people.
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 2: I want you to walk away here shaking your head.
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 2: Of course, some cases it might go bald, gray, or
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 2: whatever the heck it is. Of course, I don't worry
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 2: about any. You know, I mean, you know, this guy's unbelievable.
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 2: He comes into my show three times a week, and
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 2: this one is the most bizarre thing he's ever had
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 2: to deal with. So anyway, I'll tell you what. So here,
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 2: as we get ready to wrap this show up, Fortune
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 2: Exchange is next. Really quickly, Eddie, what's your takeaway from
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 2: the show?
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 4: What is my takeaway of the show? Honestly, this is
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 4: just a fun show, a bunch of people kind of
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 4: hanging out. Having a good conversation. I look forward to
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 4: it every, what's tonight, Wednesday?
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 2: What about tonight's topics?
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 4: Tonight's topics were good. I mean, you're going to ask
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 4: me to go back through them. I like all of them, Scott.
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 2: No, that's fair enough.
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 4: They were all fantastic.
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: I put a lot of thought into it.
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 2: I put a lot of thought into it. It was fantastic.
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 2: That's for sure.
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 5: You do put a lot of thought into coming up
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 5: with some really interesting topics. This week, I feel like
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 5: it's so much easier than last week. Last week was hard.
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 5: I had to think and work and Yes. I was
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 5: sweating balls last week. No, I thought this was fun.
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 5: You know, I still think Einstein and Da Vinci are
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 5: my favorites, even though you didn't mention Da Vinci all along,
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 5: you know, obviously with Jesus. And then we got, there's
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 5: all kinds of things that we really could, but you know,
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 5: at the end of the day, I love candy.
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 3: Steve.
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 1: The topics were awesome.
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 6: And I loved how we went from, You know, child
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 6: rapist being murdered in prison to a teacher, you know,
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 6: adopting a second grader.
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, talk about flipping the switch. That was great, Scott.
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 1: Good stuff.
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Steve. Thank you, Ed. Thank you, Jennifer. And
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 2: I'll get whatever thank you candy wants to give me later.
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 3: Hey, wait, wait, wait.
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 7: I get my two cents, too. Come on now.
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 2: You do get your two cents. Not on the topics,
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 7: My two cents were for our other YouTube channel, Destination Discoveries.
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 7: We now have two places to go. All the different
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 7: islands of Norway and the Candy Hall of Fame.
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 2: That's a given. That's a given, Candy. It is what
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 2: it is.
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 2: With that said.
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 6: You know, when I saw that tonight, the Candy Hall
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 6: of Fame coming to Chicago, I thought Candy was going
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 6: to Chicago to tell us.
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 1: What, you know, is in her Hall of Fame, her destination.
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: Thank you. That's what I was.
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 4: Thank you, Steve. I read something into it like that.
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 4: I thought Candy was going to some kind of Hall
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 4: of Fame. Thank you. All right. So it's not just me.
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 3: No.
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 5: We could do the Chicago Pizza Hall of Fame. There's
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 5: so many different places.
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's how Jimmy started there. I mean, that's a
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 2: soft spot for me. But I think one of my
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 2: biggest takeaways is when we were able to talk about different,
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 2: this Candy Hall of Fame, I got to mention all
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 2: these places named after me.
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 1: Like Bowhead City, Scottsdale.
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 2: Now I have a store named after me called Great Scott.
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 2: But the whole idea behind this show here is being
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 2: able to get away from the comfort zone and be
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 2: able to get creative and off the wall doing different stuff.
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 2: That's why this show here is so much fun. And
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 2: I got the right, I got the right five to
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 2: pull this off every week. And I'll tell you, I
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 2: just love everyone. Y'all, you guys are great. This show
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 2: is going to continue to, to go. And I, again,
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 2: I'm going to find creativity and where do I get
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 2: it all for me to know? And you guys have
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 2: to listen in every week.
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 4: So.
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 2: All right, so with that said, let's go around the
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 2: horn real quickly. Eddie, let everybody know how they can
