- 3:18Speaker 6: I think it. You know, in some respects, you know,
- 3:21Speaker 6: dog or dogs and pets are better than people. So

- 4:11Speaker 7: are a few people that do have a couple of
- 4:12Speaker 7: phos and fears. So you do have to address a
- 4:15Speaker 7: few things, you know what I mean. But then just
- 4:18Speaker 7: keep your dog away from those people. A couple people

- 6:56Speaker 1: H anything else you want to answer this? Candy, I
- 7:01Speaker 1: think it's great.
- 7:02Speaker 10: I mean, let's face it, you know if you can
- 7:03Speaker 10: bring it. A lot of people have animals as emotional
- 7:10Speaker 10: support and it helps to diffuse situations. I think and
- 7:15Speaker 10: call and bring a calmness to a lot of people.
- 7:17Speaker 10: So I totally understand.
- 7:20Speaker 1: Okay, let's continue on. Lots of get to here in
- 7:23Speaker 1: the Motor City man Marow, Norway donates it's FIFA World
- 7:27Speaker 1: Cup proceeds to Gaza Humanitarian Aid. A single football match
- 7:31Speaker 1: helped raise millions for humanitarian aid. The Norwegian Football Federation
- 7:36Speaker 1: that dedicated the net proceeds from its twenty twenty six
- 7:40Speaker 1: World Cup qualifier against Israel to Doctors Without Borders, supporting
- 7:45Speaker 1: medical relief for civilians affected by the Christians in Gaza.
- 7:49Speaker 1: Some thoughts team.
- 7:55Speaker 4: See conveniently froze again, it's very convenient of.
- 7:59Speaker 1: M all right, did you catch that, Steve? Al right, Well,
- 8:09Speaker 1: I see a little bit of movement. There is there
- 8:12Speaker 1: a more movement.
- 8:13Speaker 2: I don't know, Steve.
- 8:15Speaker 10: Are you hearing any of this or not?
- 8:18Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 8:19Speaker 8: I heard the beginning of it. Let's just hope they
- 8:22Speaker 8: use it for humanitarian aid. And Gaza doesn't have a
- 8:27Speaker 8: great track record on such things. And if you've ever
- 8:31Speaker 8: been there, they could have had a Riviera there. I
- 8:35Speaker 8: mean that the coastline in Gaza is absolutely gorgeous, and
- 8:42Speaker 8: you know, they chose to build rockets and let's hope
- 8:47Speaker 8: they use it for humanitarian aid this time.
- 8:52Speaker 2: Okay, I think I think it's I think it's great
- 8:55Speaker 2: what they're doing.
- 8:56Speaker 6: Any but to Steve's point, any time you go in there,
- 9:00Speaker 6: you got to make sure it funnels to the right
- 9:02Speaker 6: way and doesn't get into the bad guys hands, and
- 9:06Speaker 6: it actually goes to the you know, the people who
- 9:09Speaker 6: are the people of guys that are like you and I.
- 9:12Speaker 6: You know, they're not the bad guys. They're just stuck
- 9:15Speaker 6: in the middle between the political ideologies fighting, so you know,
- 9:20Speaker 6: to getting them just the basic humanitarian needs that they make.
- 9:24Speaker 6: That's you know, I think that as a as.
- 9:27Speaker 2: A world, we at a minimum we have to do.
- 9:31Speaker 6: And the fact that Norway has kind of stepped up
- 9:33Speaker 6: and said, you know, we can do this for them,
- 9:35Speaker 6: I think, you know, that's a great example of the
- 9:39Speaker 6: set and you know they they raised the bar Hie
- 9:42Speaker 6: would be nice to.
- 9:43Speaker 2: See more countries do that, this country included. But here
- 9:48Speaker 2: we are.
- 9:51Speaker 1: Here we go ahead.
- 9:54Speaker 7: Well, I mean, I think to the point I would
- 9:56Speaker 7: talk about all NGOs and making sure that. I think
- 9:59Speaker 7: we need better police across the board on NGOs and
- 10:01Speaker 7: how money that's donated as being spent and I don't know,
- 10:06Speaker 7: I mean whose responsibility that is, but it's sort of
- 10:11Speaker 7: everyone's responsibility, and yet I don't think anyone claims it
- 10:14Speaker 7: and no one does it, and that's how all the
- 10:16Speaker 7: fraud is happening.
- 10:17Speaker 4: It's kind of ridiculous all the way back to even
- 10:19Speaker 4: during Haiti.
- 10:20Speaker 2: You remember when there was.
- 10:21Speaker 7: The whole crisis at Haiti, and like the money was there,
- 10:25Speaker 7: the resources were there, the food was there, the supplies
- 10:29Speaker 7: were there, but no one.
- 10:30Speaker 4: Could access it.
- 10:30Speaker 7: It's like what in the world, Like, how are people
- 10:35Speaker 7: starving and dying right out right there with all the
- 10:39Speaker 7: supplies right here rotting. That's to me the bigger issue
- 10:43Speaker 7: with all of it, and something I think that we
- 10:46Speaker 7: need to address on a global scale.
- 10:49Speaker 10: Kiddy, Yeah, I agree. I mean, I think it's admirable
- 10:53Speaker 10: that Norway's doing that and giving back. If we all
- 10:59Speaker 10: could give a little bit back, this world would be
- 11:01Speaker 10: better place.
- 11:03Speaker 1: Well, I mean I like that Norway participating doing what
- 11:05Speaker 1: they're doing. They had a great run in the World Cup.
- 11:08Speaker 1: They really really did and for them. And if you
- 11:10Speaker 1: have ever been in Norway's, that's an awesome place.
- 11:12Speaker 5: It really really is.
- 11:13Speaker 6: So.
- 11:15Speaker 1: Well, you know how Arthur Blank bought Atlanta Falcons. Well,
- 11:19Speaker 1: I'll tell you right now. Did you know that Arthur
- 11:22Speaker 1: Blank was fired from Handy Dan Home Improvement Centers in
- 11:25Speaker 1: nineteen cvy eight seventation. That job lost directly preceded the
- 11:30Speaker 1: creation of the home Depot. Ever been heard of the
- 11:33Speaker 1: home Depot?
- 11:34Speaker 4: So it's a great story.
- 11:36Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, which is I like coming up with these
- 11:40Speaker 1: gen Don't worry, sweetheart, You're going to see plenty of them.
- 11:43Speaker 1: But here we go, which has grown since into one
- 11:47Speaker 1: of the largest retailers in the United States. As of
- 11:49Speaker 1: December of twenty twenty five, Home Depots market capitalization was
- 11:52Speaker 1: a probably three hundred and forty eight billion, that's all.
- 11:56Speaker 1: Blank later purchased the Atlanta Falcons in two thousand and
- 11:59Speaker 1: two for five hundred and forty five million, dropping the
- 12:03Speaker 1: bucket for this guy four value defranchise at six point
- 12:07Speaker 1: three five billion and five evaluation. Steve this on its
- 12:12Speaker 1: closer at home. It's the sport we talk about.
- 12:14Speaker 8: A lot, Yes, And I remember this story being talked
- 12:18Speaker 8: about quite a bit when the Falcons were in the
- 12:21Speaker 8: Super Bowl against the Patriots, they were talking about other.
- 12:23Speaker 1: Blank and.
- 12:26Speaker 8: How getting fired might have been the best thing that
- 12:29Speaker 8: ever happened to him. It was probably the best thing
- 12:33Speaker 8: that ever happened, you know, with home depot coming right now,
- 12:37Speaker 8: it's a juggernaut.
- 12:38Speaker 1: And good for him.
- 12:39Speaker 11: I love like this, you know, I gets gets canned,
- 12:44Speaker 11: and then he goes and makes billions of dollars and
- 12:48Speaker 11: thumbs his nose at the guys who you.
- 12:51Speaker 1: Know, let him go.
- 12:52Speaker 8: And you know that that Atlanta Falcons franchise now, yeah,
- 12:57Speaker 8: well it's it's worth twelve times what it was when
- 13:00Speaker 8: he bought it.
- 13:01Speaker 1: So good for him.
- 13:04Speaker 4: It's a multiplier.
- 13:05Speaker 12: Yeah, absolutely, and it's great.
- 13:16Speaker 6: And then and those kinds of stories like him. You know,
- 13:18Speaker 6: Michael Jordan got cut from the sophomore basketball team, uh
- 13:23Speaker 6: the Rock. The Rock got cut from football from the
- 13:27Speaker 6: professional football team, goes on to become professional wrestlers and
- 13:30Speaker 6: is one of the biggest box office stars today. You know,
- 13:35Speaker 6: we hear a lot of their stories and I think
- 13:36Speaker 6: today I think these are stories that kids need to
- 13:39Speaker 6: be and I say kids, young adults need to be.
- 13:43Speaker 6: You know, we need to kind of hammer those Home
- 13:45Speaker 6: War because I think we have we have a generation
- 13:49Speaker 6: of people that are afraid nobody's afraid to lose, afraid
- 13:52Speaker 6: to fail, and you can't you can't be you can't
- 13:56Speaker 6: be afraid to fail because you know after that, you're
- 14:00Speaker 6: you know, Arthur Blank, you, Michael Jordans.
- 14:04Speaker 2: And the Rock you know they.
- 14:08Speaker 6: Moved on into the greatness. Just because you feel once
- 14:10Speaker 6: doesn't mean it's the end. And you know that's what
- 14:14Speaker 6: makes that's what makes life.
- 14:15Speaker 2: So you know that.
- 14:16Speaker 8: So I remember, I remember reading about a Hollywood director
- 14:23Speaker 8: way way way back, long before any of us were born,
- 14:27Speaker 8: and uh, the director wanted to fire Fred Astaire because
- 14:33Speaker 8: he was like, I don't know who told this guy.
- 14:35Speaker 5: He could he could.
- 14:36Speaker 2: I heard that story too, Yeah, I heard, Yeah, I
- 14:39Speaker 2: heard that story. Yeah that's great. You wanted to fire
- 14:45Speaker 2: this guy can't dance?
- 14:46Speaker 5: Yeah, I think you missed the boat on that one.
- 14:51Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 14:52Speaker 7: I got to tell you that one person's opinion is
- 14:54Speaker 7: just that one person's you know, like, but and the
- 14:58Speaker 7: blessings come in strange dis guys, because you know, Michael
- 15:02Speaker 7: Jordan getting kicked off the team, he made him have
- 15:04Speaker 7: to reevaluate his entire life.
- 15:07Speaker 4: You know what I mean, what do I want?
- 15:09Speaker 7: And then and go back and practice and actually get serious.
- 15:12Speaker 7: Tom Brady not getting recruited until the sixth rounds, you
- 15:15Speaker 7: know what I mean, Like no one thought anything of him,
- 15:17Speaker 7: and He's like, no, this is who I am. Now,
- 15:18Speaker 7: that's not who I am. You don't get to define me.
- 15:20Speaker 7: And then the Home Depot story has long been one
- 15:23Speaker 7: of my favorites because I got to work with them,
- 15:25Speaker 7: you know, back in the nineties, and so I learned
- 15:28Speaker 7: about their their story, and their story really is that
- 15:31Speaker 7: they brought the home Depot idea to their bosses and
- 15:34Speaker 7: they were like, this is stupid ast idea ever and
- 15:36Speaker 7: then they left all the way to the bank, you know,
- 15:39Speaker 7: so exactly.
- 15:43Speaker 1: So get this. Jennifer debuts show is one of her
- 15:48Speaker 1: favorite stories with the Home Depot, right, it is this
- 15:54Speaker 1: and the Old Eyes of Religion. Hell sorry, love it,
- 16:00Speaker 1: good good? Ome myself all right again? Right, stop.
- 16:06Speaker 4: Candy, you get this? Twenty four seven, three sixty five?
- 16:09Speaker 10: Am well aware of that?
- 16:11Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 16:14Speaker 10: At least say twenty four to seven, you mean twenty
- 16:17Speaker 10: four seven, never know.
- 16:22Speaker 1: At least our hair color hasn't changed yet.
- 16:25Speaker 10: Oh it's starting to, don't worry.
- 16:31Speaker 1: Whatever. Everybody ages, naturally, I just age unnaturally. Go ahead, Candy, Oh, I.
- 16:36Speaker 4: Don't even age, so I just refuse. I'm done with that.
- 16:39Speaker 1: There's a reason why, there's a reason why you look
- 16:41Speaker 1: as good as you do, but you don't your doctor's
- 16:44Speaker 1: ever told you got a fift year old body of
- 16:47Speaker 1: fifty year old and a nine year old body before
- 16:49Speaker 1: then we'll see how everybody thinks about this. Go ahead,
- 16:51Speaker 1: Candy less fun.
- 16:55Speaker 10: No, I think it's a really cool story. I mean,
- 16:57Speaker 10: let's face it. You know, anytime you hear these kind
- 16:59Speaker 10: of stories, when someone you know comes out of nowhere
- 17:04Speaker 10: and you know has success, it's great love it.
- 17:09Speaker 6: Yeah, and you know I'm just saying, I mean you
- 17:15Speaker 6: can even go back further to the Ray croct McDonald's story.
- 17:19Speaker 6: I mean he he invented fast food and back before then,
- 17:23Speaker 6: I mean his concept was so revolutionizing that you know,
- 17:27Speaker 6: people were.
- 17:27Speaker 2: Kind of like, what we're going to you know, we
- 17:29Speaker 2: can get it to go and we can kind of
- 17:32Speaker 2: sit down with it. What is this? And stuff like that. So, yeah,
- 17:37Speaker 2: you learn a lot on foods that built America. You
- 17:40Speaker 2: have good good shows. No, but no, I mean there's
- 17:42Speaker 2: a lot of I think there's a.
- 17:43Speaker 6: Lot of stories like that here in America, where you know,
- 17:46Speaker 6: somebody falls down, they figure it out, they get backed up,
- 17:51Speaker 6: and you just you just got to keep believing it
- 17:54Speaker 6: and you just got a problems. I think today a
- 17:57Speaker 6: lot of people, once they get knocked down, they can't
- 18:00Speaker 6: get up again.
- 18:02Speaker 7: That's why I tom something is my theme song. You
- 18:09Speaker 7: need to get another theme song. And I'm like, but
- 18:12Speaker 7: resilience is the key of life. Like, what do you
- 18:15Speaker 7: mean to get another theme song? It's just like it is, Well,
- 18:18Speaker 7: why don't you celebrate something so you don't get knocked down.
- 18:20Speaker 7: I'm like, life is getting knocked down.
- 18:22Speaker 2: I get again.
- 18:23Speaker 7: You're never gonna keep me downright, That's right?
- 18:30Speaker 1: I love. I'll tell you if anybody likes Muhammad Ali
- 18:34Speaker 1: and George Foreman, I like the rope a dope, so
- 18:36Speaker 1: you can me around.
- 18:37Speaker 5: I'll come.
- 18:41Speaker 8: I had a college professor tell me don't ever consider writing.
- 18:45Speaker 2: For a living, and look at you now, look.
- 18:52Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 18:52Speaker 3: I I send him a thank you note every year, handwritten.
- 18:58Speaker 4: I take it hand written. Yeah, yeah, I mean.
- 19:03Speaker 7: Even Hannah Wattington, the actress that owns the football team
- 19:09Speaker 7: on ted Lasso, she was told by her acting coach
- 19:14Speaker 7: in high school.
- 19:15Speaker 2: You're what is she like?
- 19:18Speaker 7: They don't hire fat little girls for acting roles. And
- 19:22Speaker 7: she's beautiful, she's voluptuous. She's like how Jessica Rabbit looks
- 19:29Speaker 7: in real life.
- 19:30Speaker 10: You know what I mean?
- 19:31Speaker 6: Yeah?
- 19:33Speaker 1: That is just you know, all right, let's keep it rolling.
- 19:38Speaker 1: Alan Greens fan economists, a long time head of the
- 19:42Speaker 1: Federal Reserve, dies at the age of one hundred doll Like,
- 19:46Speaker 1: you see this guy? Has you think about it? He's
- 19:49Speaker 1: near the US monetary policy during the five terms of
- 19:53Speaker 1: Chairman of the Federal Reserve underfour presidents. Has died. He's
- 19:57Speaker 1: one hundred years of age. He's survived by his wife,
- 20:00Speaker 1: Andrew Mitchell, twenty nine years old. Can mention what that
- 20:03Speaker 1: age difference is. Anyways, he was a giant man who
- 20:05Speaker 1: helped shape the US economy for decades under presidents of
- 20:09Speaker 1: both parties, but always always honest and acknowledging his mistakes.
- 20:13Speaker 1: And his wife says to me, he was my husband
- 20:16Speaker 1: and shaped my life on the very first date in
- 20:18Speaker 1: nineteen eighty four. Don't worry, Candy, I shaped your for
- 20:20Speaker 1: a second, exactly exactly. Yeah, just start start feeding me
- 20:29Speaker 1: at a restaurant. Anything can happen like she did. But anyways,
- 20:33Speaker 1: Lands helped. That's one way to keep me quiet, to
- 20:35Speaker 1: feed me, okay, help shape shape modern. Yeah, I'm giving
- 20:39Speaker 1: everybody a real Roman story, that's for sure.
- 20:41Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean a hundred years old that's something like
- 20:47Speaker 8: and like you said, so many presidents on both sides
- 20:50Speaker 8: of the aisle. He was always the guy that everyone
- 20:54Speaker 8: tuned into on the news right to hear what was
- 20:58Speaker 8: going on with the economy because he'd always tell straight
- 21:02Speaker 8: and that was the thing.
- 21:04Speaker 1: He didn't take sides right, you know.
- 21:07Speaker 3: And he was, Uh, he's a guy that'll be missed,
- 21:12Speaker 3: I think.
- 21:14Speaker 4: I mean, long life, long career, super impactful. But are
- 21:18Speaker 4: we just going to forget about two thousand and eight?
- 21:23Speaker 8: He was gonna not like to me, like, yeah, well,
- 21:27Speaker 8: I mean everyone strikes out, right, Yeah, exactly, that's not a.
- 21:32Speaker 4: Strikeout, that's a I didn't even show up and pitch,
- 21:36Speaker 4: you know, like.
- 21:37Speaker 8: Striking out with the bases loaded and in the World Series.
- 21:42Speaker 7: He retired in two thousand and six, two thousand and six, right,
- 21:45Speaker 7: But when did it all start? In two thousand and
- 21:47Speaker 7: four to two thousand and six, was all the sweeping
- 21:50Speaker 7: under the rug. So it happened by two thousand and eight.
- 21:53Speaker 7: Like he's not a mute, he doesn't get to get
- 21:55Speaker 7: Scott free off of it. His life been easy, you
- 22:00Speaker 7: know what I mean?
- 22:01Speaker 4: He had big responsibilities, much bigger than mine. But that
- 22:04Speaker 4: was the problem.
- 22:04Speaker 7: Is no one was doing their own responsibilities during those
- 22:07Speaker 7: years because everybody was making too much money. And even I,
- 22:10Speaker 7: a little peon who who doesn't understand any of that,
- 22:13Speaker 7: was calling it out. So if I'm calling it out,
- 22:16Speaker 7: you know, everybody else was just sicking their head in
- 22:18Speaker 7: the sand because if I know it, everyone knows it.
- 22:21Speaker 4: They just don't want to see it.
- 22:23Speaker 6: But but I think to Steve's point, I think where
- 22:26Speaker 6: you know, he was impartial, he was impartial to the
- 22:29Speaker 6: to the political poll right being today. And I think
- 22:32Speaker 6: that's important in the sense that the the thread chair
- 22:36Speaker 6: has to be independent and making the monetary decisions based
- 22:40Speaker 6: on his or her best best decisions on the data
- 22:46Speaker 6: that they.
- 22:46Speaker 2: Have in front of them.
- 22:48Speaker 6: At the top whatever you know, and you know, and
- 22:52Speaker 6: sometimes and again it's that's way of public.
- 22:55Speaker 2: This all that stuff was way of public. My grade
- 22:57Speaker 2: paygrade too. But yeah, so yeah, I mean i'd like this.
- 23:03Speaker 2: I'll tell you this one.
- 23:04Speaker 6: I prefer to see a fifty year old Alan Greenspan
- 23:07Speaker 6: as this big chair right today than what we have.
- 23:11Speaker 1: The only thing I'm gonna say about this story is this,
- 23:14Speaker 1: if you've actually worked for four presidents, you're doing something right. Right.
- 23:18Speaker 2: Oh, you're talking.
- 23:19Speaker 1: About the country that has two different parties at least,
- 23:22Speaker 1: as I know, Republican and Demogram. But this guy worked
- 23:25Speaker 1: for a different one regardless that speaks volumes in itself.
- 23:28Speaker 7: It wasn't as dividing though, you know what I mean.
- 23:31Speaker 7: We still had compromise. We still had all the way through.
- 23:34Speaker 7: You know, the compromise started going away with w No
- 23:37Speaker 7: one wanted to go, oh, that's not my president.
- 23:39Speaker 4: That's when that's not my president started right.
- 23:41Speaker 7: And then by the time we got to Obama, like
- 23:43Speaker 7: so much had been ignored, like it just that's when
- 23:45Speaker 7: it was just the flip flop. But okay, my side,
- 23:47Speaker 7: your side, and now there's two, and now it's so
- 23:51Speaker 7: exaggerated because of AI and social media and the way
- 23:55Speaker 7: we do media today, people want to own they want
- 23:58Speaker 7: to own their audience. I own your audience by knowing
- 24:01Speaker 7: how you think, how you vote, how what makes you
- 24:04Speaker 7: hot under the color. If I can stir up emotions
- 24:06Speaker 7: in you, you're gonna keep coming back, and you're gonna
- 24:09Speaker 7: keep I'm gonna keep feeding those emotions.
- 24:11Speaker 4: We're on an emotional trigger machine right now. Has nothing
- 24:14Speaker 4: to do with politics, everything to do with owning the
- 24:17Speaker 4: vote and owning the people's emotions.
- 24:19Speaker 1: Okay, great stuff, Jed. I knew you were going to
- 24:22Speaker 1: bring a lot to this show, right, steven Ed, What
- 24:25Speaker 1: are you thinking of your new teammates? Is this one?
- 24:27Speaker 2: What?
- 24:27Speaker 4: I don't know?
- 24:30Speaker 2: What am I allowed to think anything different? I'm kidding, yeah, anything.
- 24:36Speaker 4: I'm used to people not liking me. It's okay, No, no, no, no,
- 24:39Speaker 4: I just know.
- 24:40Speaker 2: I'm just it's more messing with Scott than no. I
- 24:45Speaker 2: think she's doing perfect. She's perfect. Scott.
- 24:50Speaker 1: Tell you I'm going to get this show right is
- 24:52Speaker 1: the last thing I do. And I'll tell you I
- 24:54Speaker 1: won't stop talking until right now.
- 24:58Speaker 6: To stop talking, I'm gonna say, you gotta stop talking,
- 25:00Speaker 6: even if you get it right.
- 25:02Speaker 1: Well, I like stop talking when I have people I
- 25:04Speaker 1: can refer to. That way, I can continue to play
- 25:07Speaker 1: the behind the scenes role, set an executive producer and
- 25:11Speaker 1: say something I need to win. This is exactly what
- 25:13Speaker 1: I enjoy about this particular format because I can sit
- 25:17Speaker 1: back and be an executive producer. For those of you
- 25:20Speaker 1: that don't know a lot about me, back in nineteen
- 25:23Speaker 1: seventy nine, I was a producer for WXYZ Radio and
- 25:28Speaker 1: the ABC affiliate Detroit, working on a sports Bok show.
- 25:32Speaker 1: So I know what it's like to work behind the
- 25:34Speaker 1: scenes and they get an opportunity on the air. And
- 25:37Speaker 1: now in this particular new media age, I'm able to
- 25:39Speaker 1: do that and be able to do both. And that's
- 25:42Speaker 1: why when you surround yourself with excellent people, show in
- 25:45Speaker 1: and show out, it's just this is just fun stuff,
- 25:48Speaker 1: all right, Candy got last word. A lot more to
- 25:50Speaker 1: get to on the Motor City mad Mouth. Thank you
- 25:52Speaker 1: very much for joining us. A lot more things on
- 25:54Speaker 1: the way, stay with us, Go ahead, Katie.
- 25:56Speaker 10: Let's not forget Ronald Reagan nominated him first, and he
- 26:01Speaker 10: took off. He was confirmed on August eleventh of nineteen
- 26:05Speaker 10: eighty seven. Now, let's not forget nineteen eighty seven, the
- 26:09Speaker 10: stock market crash, right that you know he affirmed today
- 26:14Speaker 10: is readiness to serve as a source of liquidity to
- 26:16Speaker 10: support the economic system, and he he almost had as
- 26:23Speaker 10: much economic impact as a lot of the presidents did.
- 26:26Speaker 10: I'm sure.
- 26:28Speaker 2: Sure.
- 26:29Speaker 10: And that's something you know that I think we kind
- 26:31Speaker 10: of forget, and let's not forget that. Before he even
- 26:34Speaker 10: started this, he had a thirty two year stint as
- 26:39Speaker 10: a chairman and president Townsend Green Spanding Company before he
- 26:43Speaker 10: even became, you know, into the the thirteenth chair of
- 26:47Speaker 10: the Federal Reserve. Long career.
- 26:53Speaker 2: Yeah, he lived a full life, I mean and one
- 26:56Speaker 2: whatever I mean, Yeah.
- 26:58Speaker 4: That's yeah, that's the thing in it all in itself,
- 27:02Speaker 4: you know what I mean.
- 27:03Speaker 6: Yeah, when you hit the trip, Yeah, when you hit
- 27:05Speaker 6: the triple digits, Yeah, that's like kind of.
- 27:08Speaker 1: Hey, what you're doing? Awful good. That becomes more of
- 27:12Speaker 1: a celebration of life than pain. I said, I've always
- 27:17Speaker 1: a hundred. That's a real celebration of life. Yeah, I'll
- 27:22Speaker 1: give you some places to go if you want to
- 27:24Speaker 1: create that.
- 27:25Speaker 10: Scott, do you know what he died?
- 27:28Speaker 1: No, I don't know.
- 27:29Speaker 10: He died from complications of Parkinson's disease, No kidding. And
- 27:35Speaker 10: did you know And did you know that he actually
- 27:38Speaker 10: dated Barbara Walters at one point?
- 27:41Speaker 5: No?
- 27:41Speaker 1: I didn't. Yes, Now, it's a great thing they have
- 27:50Speaker 1: on his resume. I think.
- 27:53Speaker 2: When when you hey, when you're the money man, you know,
- 27:55Speaker 2: when you're the money man, when you have access to
- 27:57Speaker 2: all the money, you know, yeah, you attract you tracked
- 28:02Speaker 2: all of them. They all.
- 28:05Speaker 1: Almost makes you wonder if he financed twenty twenty get
- 28:10Speaker 1: that all figure out if you've got that kind of cabbage.

- 29:47Speaker 2: So what was.
- 29:51Speaker 5: What was?
- 29:52Speaker 1: I heard the countries, but what was the reason they

- 30:00Speaker 1: is all. They are best country for first time solo travelers.
- 30:07Speaker 1: So if you're going by yourself, means the place that
- 30:09Speaker 1: they suggest. He froze again.

- 30:29Speaker 2: my bucket was Ireland. My sister and her husband actually
- 30:32Speaker 2: have bought property and have a house in Ireland.
- 30:38Speaker 6: Her husband and his side of the family, and and
- 30:41Speaker 6: my family too are from have our heritage is Irish.
- 30:48Speaker 2: And then that and then, uh, I'd like to. Australia
- 30:52Speaker 2: is also kind of on my buck list, and actually, uh,
- 30:55Speaker 2: you know, Fiji and Thailand would like to go there too,
- 30:59Speaker 2: so they all I kind of like to travel like that, to.
- 31:02Speaker 6: See the world and see different places. It's always kind
- 31:06Speaker 6: of fun. So yeah, all right, you got and Iceland
- 31:13Speaker 6: and Iceland because you because you say.
- 31:14Speaker 8: It, so yeah, I had to go on my phone
- 31:18Speaker 8: because uh that's okay, the computer wasn't cut it, Sorry
- 31:23Speaker 8: about that.
- 31:25Speaker 2: Yeah, you're.
- 31:28Speaker 5: So.

- 31:32Speaker 1: country for first time solo travelers?
- 31:35Speaker 4: Oh?
- 31:35Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, and I go to several of them.
- 31:39Speaker 4: As a solo traveler or or together with people in a.
- 31:43Speaker 5: Group of uh, some on my own as a as
- 31:47Speaker 5: a solo and some uh I guess you could say
- 31:52Speaker 5: in a group.
- 31:52Speaker 1: Yeah, I will go the list anyways, just pick.
- 31:56Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 31:56Speaker 8: The one place I want to go and I haven't
- 31:58Speaker 8: been is Fiji. Okay, yeah, I'm not really interested in
- 32:03Speaker 8: Saudi Arabia. I've done the Middle East, and surprising to me, you.
- 32:10Speaker 7: Know, Saudi Arabia is the surprising one to me because
- 32:15Speaker 7: first of all, I didn't know we're traveling there right now.
- 32:17Speaker 7: I wouldn't think that we're traveling there right now, and
- 32:20Speaker 7: then solo. I don't know that I would do Saudi
- 32:23Speaker 7: Arabia so low. No, Yeah, Costa Rica all the way,
- 32:29Speaker 7: all the way, Costa Ariba, definitely solo, I think. I mean,
- 32:32Speaker 7: I'm surprised that it's really only Ireland from Europe because
- 32:35Speaker 7: I think I always think of like solo travel Europe
- 32:38Speaker 7: set up, Yeah, solo travel, and then Ireland is one
- 32:42Speaker 7: of the places. But like, if you're gonna do Ireland,
- 32:44Speaker 7: you do Scotland and England all at the same time.
- 32:46Speaker 4: Like why you know what I mean, Like, I don't know.
- 32:48Speaker 7: That's what people tend to do, certainly, you know, if
- 32:52Speaker 7: I when I'm retired, I would like to do all
- 32:54Speaker 7: of them for a very long time and just.
- 32:55Speaker 4: Stay and stay everywhere a month and really really delve in.
- 32:59Speaker 2: You know.
- 33:00Speaker 7: Brazil is such a party. I think you could easily,
- 33:04Speaker 7: just like Costa Rica. You could go, you could hang out,
- 33:06Speaker 7: you would make friends so easily. I think solo travel
- 33:09Speaker 7: to Brazil easy peasy. Australia the same thing because they're
- 33:13Speaker 7: very welcoming. They travel a lot Australians and they're used
- 33:17Speaker 7: to you know, the Kiwis are just across the ocean.
- 33:19Speaker 7: Of course, you're going to go over to New Zealand.
- 33:21Speaker 7: If you're going to go to Australia, you might as well, right, Okay, cool?
- 33:26Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, Thailand even solo, definitely.
- 33:32Speaker 7: I mean a lot of my friends are skydivers and
- 33:34Speaker 7: there's a big skydiving community in Thailand and you can
- 33:37Speaker 7: go there.
- 33:38Speaker 4: Yeah, you make that's where they do the big big ways.
- 33:41Speaker 7: When you see like three hundred people in the air
- 33:43Speaker 7: those are all in Thailand because their airport can handle
- 33:46Speaker 7: all those all those airplanes at once.
- 33:49Speaker 4: It's very fun, very very interesting.
- 33:52Speaker 1: All right, Well, you know what, you're a travel agent.
- 33:54Speaker 1: Go ahead, you speak for yourself and I'll see if
- 33:56Speaker 1: I get a word in.
- 33:58Speaker 10: Well, I mean I would say I would like to go.
- 34:01Speaker 10: I mean I haven't been to Fiji, haven't been to Ireland.
- 34:04Speaker 10: I think Ireland would be pretty cool. I have been
- 34:08Speaker 10: to Iceland, as most of you all know. I can
- 34:11Speaker 10: see where that would be someplace that a solo traveler,
- 34:16Speaker 10: because there's a lot of places to like hike and
- 34:20Speaker 10: go see the glaciers, see the geysers they have. I
- 34:26Speaker 10: mean there's so many. The Golden Circle, which is if
- 34:30Speaker 10: you don't know, it's almost the rival of Niagara Falls,
- 34:34Speaker 10: but in Iceland, and it's glacier formed by the glaciers,
- 34:38Speaker 10: there is the volcanic and geothermic activity there.
- 34:43Speaker 4: It has the.
- 34:44Speaker 10: Northern most capital in the world, and it roughly only
- 34:48Speaker 10: has three hundred and ninety five thousand residents, so it's
- 34:51Speaker 10: not like it's that populated. So the crime there is
- 34:55Speaker 10: not like it is in some other places. And Jennifer,
- 34:58Speaker 10: I would be really careful about going to like Brazil.
- 35:01Speaker 10: Like I remember when the NFL and they went to
- 35:06Speaker 10: Brazil and they went to a part of the town
- 35:08Speaker 10: that they said, don't go out by yourself, right, So
- 35:13Speaker 10: you just got to be careful where in some of
- 35:15Speaker 10: these countries, even Belize.
- 35:17Speaker 7: I went to Belize and everybody was walking around with
- 35:20Speaker 7: AK forty seven's on their back, even teenagers. I was
- 35:24Speaker 7: like what.
- 35:25Speaker 4: And I was not ever allowed as because I was traveling.
- 35:28Speaker 4: I was traveling solo.
- 35:30Speaker 7: I was never allowed to leave the hotel by myself
- 35:33Speaker 7: period and at nighttime, none of us were allowed. And
- 35:38Speaker 7: even the awning there was like the hotel and there
- 35:40Speaker 7: was an awning and a restaurant and the awning was
- 35:43Speaker 7: a little bit open. So I was not, as a
- 35:45Speaker 7: female allowed to go from the hotel through the awning
- 35:48Speaker 7: to the restaurant by myself.
- 35:52Speaker 4: And that was fifteen years ago.
- 35:55Speaker 5: And Rio on the Beach in Rio de Janeira is
- 36:00Speaker 5: very crime rate.
- 36:01Speaker 7: Right, yes, yes, yes, I mean that pick pocketing, but
- 36:05Speaker 7: it's the murders that you got to watch out for.
- 36:07Speaker 5: Yeah, I've been to and there's a lot of them too.
- 36:12Speaker 7: Yes, that's the whole gig, you know. And they just
- 36:17Speaker 7: think of that we're the haves and there the have not.
- 36:19Speaker 7: So you know, you've paid all the money to get here.
- 36:21Speaker 7: Clearly you have money, you can get more. That's kind
- 36:24Speaker 7: of the mentality.
- 36:25Speaker 1: Well, listen to everybody on this panel. I want to
- 36:28Speaker 1: I want to go to Australia. That would be a
- 36:30Speaker 1: good one. Costa Rica is pretty good and Ireland's not
- 36:34Speaker 1: pad either. All right, let's talk, all right, I'll tell
- 36:36Speaker 1: you Jen's getting it. Got you down, Pan, I'm telling you.
- 36:39Speaker 1: So we're going to go from solo places to American history.
- 36:44Speaker 1: Why are we doing that? Let's talk with the seventh
- 36:47Speaker 1: strange facts about Abraham Lincoln, our president. Oh my god,
- 36:53Speaker 1: I love this topic. Okay, got this seventh strange facts
- 36:57Speaker 1: about Abraham Lincoln. The marble version of Lincoln his serious
- 37:03Speaker 1: noble and card into a wall in Washington. The real
- 37:06Speaker 1: version was a six foot four, barefoot wrestler who told
- 37:10Speaker 1: inappropriate jokes during cabinet meetings and stored documents in tinament hat.
- 37:15Speaker 1: Let's continue on. Okay, let's talk about that. We talked
- 37:19Speaker 1: about a guy who was a licensed bartender before the presidency,
- 37:23Speaker 1: before the law, before the speeches that redefined a nation.
- 37:26Speaker 1: He co owned a tampa in Springfield, Illinois, the grading
- 37:30Speaker 1: mansion pader Port drinks for a living, and nobody mentions
- 37:33Speaker 1: it because it doesn't match by mon. He was an
- 37:37Speaker 1: elite rustler in roughly three hundred matches. He only lost once.
- 37:41Speaker 1: My god, that's date. Of course, it's six for four.
- 37:44Speaker 1: I wouldn't anyways. He was once challenged during a political speech,
- 37:48Speaker 1: then threw the opponent to the ground, then turned to
- 37:50Speaker 1: the crowd and asked if anyone else wanted to try.
- 37:53Speaker 1: It's safe to say they would get a whole lot.
- 37:55Speaker 1: So let's continue to the narrative. Okay, and let's go
- 38:00Speaker 1: to it. He really, what are all those things that
- 38:02Speaker 1: stand out? Well, we'll talk about the assassination there. But
- 38:05Speaker 1: here's where it really begins. People. He really did keep
- 38:08Speaker 1: things in his hat. Lincoln often used his famous stoap
- 38:13Speaker 1: pipe hat as a storage compartment. Stuff again with letters, people,
- 38:19Speaker 1: letter people, okay, important papers, even money. I'll tell you
- 38:25Speaker 1: one thing. Don't tell that to the people in Costa Rica.
- 38:27Speaker 1: I don't think they go to the upstairs to get it.
- 38:29Speaker 1: He was a champion wrestler before becoming president. Lincoln was
- 38:33Speaker 1: known in Illinois as an elite wrestler, reportedly losing it
- 38:37Speaker 1: only one match out of three hundred. Pretty good stuff.
- 38:40Speaker 1: Whereas Dana White. Nobody cares. Okay, now what they really don't.
- 38:46Speaker 1: I mean, he loves cats more than people. Now, I
- 38:51Speaker 1: like this guy if you like cats, because I have
- 38:53Speaker 1: a servant cat. Okay. Lincoln was obsessed with cats. He
- 38:57Speaker 1: once met a cat a formal dinner a gold fork
- 39:01Speaker 1: and told an official, do you think I would let
- 39:04Speaker 1: the cat go hungry? His wife, Mary Todd Lincoln said
- 39:08Speaker 1: cats were his favorite companions. Now that's my kind of
- 39:11Speaker 1: president here. Okay, take O'donald Trump. Okay, he was caught.
- 39:16Speaker 1: He was taught, even by law. Lincoln had less than
- 39:19Speaker 1: one year of formal schooling. He taught himself nearly everything,
- 39:24Speaker 1: including law, by borrowing books and studying on his own.
- 39:27Speaker 1: When he passed the bar, he never attended any single
- 39:29Speaker 1: law class. I'll tell you tell me how you did
- 39:31Speaker 1: at president, because I'll tell you that's a good thing.
- 39:35Speaker 1: He had a high pitched voice, despite his tower exit
- 39:38Speaker 1: through a forward frame. Lincoln's voice was described as surprisingly
- 39:42Speaker 1: high and reading or ready, whatever you want to call it.
- 39:47Speaker 1: And let's see. He once gave let's be so funny
- 39:49Speaker 1: that people fell off their chairs. Lincoln had a wicked
- 39:54Speaker 1: sense of humor. Now that's my kind of president, and
- 39:57Speaker 1: love storytelling, which is what we all do. Anyways. One
- 40:00Speaker 1: observer wrote that during one of these humorous peaches that
- 40:03Speaker 1: the crowd was laughing so hard that nearly every people
- 40:06Speaker 1: fell out their seats laugh or not least. He once
- 40:09Speaker 1: got offered elephants and seriously considered it. After his election,
- 40:14Speaker 1: the King of Siam modern day Thailand sent Lincoln a
- 40:18Speaker 1: letter offering him a gift of elephants to help populate
- 40:21Speaker 1: the force of America. There you go, people that will
- 40:27Speaker 1: start it off with Anny, what are your thoughts about?
- 40:29Speaker 1: Honest day?
- 40:30Speaker 2: Well, if you look at honest, David.
- 40:32Speaker 6: You know, if you look at the pictures that we
- 40:34Speaker 6: see of him, you don't judge a book by its cover,
- 40:37Speaker 6: comes to mind because he looks very prim prim probably
- 40:42Speaker 6: very you know, stick fast and very you know, elite
- 40:46Speaker 6: and very this wrestler fearful.
- 40:50Speaker 2: You know, did this joke teller?
- 40:53Speaker 5: Uh?
- 40:54Speaker 2: You know, Mandy, people laugh and fall.
- 40:55Speaker 6: Off, you know, to be honest with you, you know
- 40:59Speaker 6: now here this if you get you pick friends, you know,
- 41:03Speaker 6: you know what does it pick seven people to have
- 41:06Speaker 6: have a coffee or dinner with? You know, a blank
- 41:08Speaker 6: would probably be one of them, just because hearing how
- 41:11Speaker 6: interesting and diversity was and you know, to get your
- 41:16Speaker 6: law degree without going to law class and too, you know,
- 41:20Speaker 6: become president and do everything that he did and at
- 41:25Speaker 6: the same time kind of have a life if you will.
- 41:28Speaker 2: You know, it shows you can come from diverse background
- 41:32Speaker 2: and do again.
- 41:33Speaker 13: It kind of goes back to what we were talking
- 41:34Speaker 13: earlier about about the home deeper and the falcons.
- 41:39Speaker 6: You know, you can if you really want to do
- 41:41Speaker 6: something linked standing in your ways, your mind, you can
- 41:45Speaker 6: get past your mind.
- 41:46Speaker 2: You can you can do it. And you know these
- 41:48Speaker 2: guys are proof of it, and they linked is a
- 41:50Speaker 2: great example.
- 41:54Speaker 8: Yeah, Lincoln was one of my favorite presidents growing up.
- 41:58Speaker 8: I'd love to read him about it. But can you
- 42:00Speaker 8: imagine if he was alive today, he'd be signing a
- 42:06Speaker 8: you know, a contract with Vince McMahon and he'd be
- 42:09Speaker 8: in a cage back yeah, Roban range and you know, hey,
- 42:14Speaker 8: you know the President takes him down right, And I
- 42:18Speaker 8: mean that's all that stuff was awesome.
- 42:20Speaker 5: And I love the fact that he had a sense
- 42:22Speaker 5: of humor.
- 42:24Speaker 8: You know, everyone thought he was kind of dour because
- 42:28Speaker 8: of his the way his face looked and everything.
- 42:31Speaker 5: But it's nice to know that, you know.
- 42:36Speaker 8: He had a great sense of humor. And I didn't
- 42:39Speaker 8: realize he was that good at wrestling. I knew he
- 42:41Speaker 8: was an accomplished one, but three hundred and one that's
- 42:46Speaker 8: pretty darn good. Yeah, get Vince McMahon on the on
- 42:52Speaker 8: the line, put the president on there.
- 42:55Speaker 4: I mean, you don't really think of a tall, long,
- 42:57Speaker 4: linky guy to be that's the most shot I've never
- 43:02Speaker 4: I never knew that, you guys at least knew. I
- 43:04Speaker 4: had no idea.
- 43:06Speaker 7: So you know, what he has was whatever he set
- 43:11Speaker 7: himself out to be. Like, I mean to Ed's point
- 43:14Speaker 7: like going talking.
- 43:15Speaker 4: Full circle back to resilience, because you know he didn't
- 43:19Speaker 4: He didn't run for president and make president. He ran
- 43:21Speaker 4: for president. He ran for president, and he ran for president,
- 43:23Speaker 4: and he ran for president, and he ran for president.
- 43:25Speaker 4: He ran for president.
- 43:26Speaker 7: I forget how many times he was rejected, something like
- 43:29Speaker 7: six or more like and he he always was getting
- 43:32Speaker 7: knocked down. And he taught himself to read by candlelight.
- 43:35Speaker 7: He taught himself and then got a law degree on
- 43:39Speaker 7: his own without court.
- 43:41Speaker 4: Like all of those things are difficult in and of themselves.
- 43:45Speaker 7: Yes, that's why, you know, to Steve's point, he would
- 43:48Speaker 7: make an excellent dinner.
- 43:49Speaker 2: Guest, like, yeah, yeah, pick that man.
- 43:53Speaker 3: Well, I would have loved to shut down with him
- 43:56Speaker 3: at dinner.
- 43:57Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you know. So you know what, you know,
- 44:00Speaker 1: that's part about being an executive producer. I get to
- 44:02Speaker 1: read all this stuff before I put it on the air.
- 44:05Speaker 1: That's why I could sit back and lay back to
- 44:06Speaker 1: watch all y'all comment it. And everything I read about
- 44:09Speaker 1: Aim is nothing more less and impressive, nice stuff. Jen
- 44:13Speaker 1: I didn't hear about the letters.
- 44:14Speaker 7: He would put the letters in the lining of his
- 44:16Speaker 7: hat for a couple of reasons. First of all, no
- 44:19Speaker 7: one ever knew they were there, so he could sneak
- 44:21Speaker 7: letters in to all kinds of places that they might
- 44:24Speaker 7: not have been allowed, or they might have gotten taken
- 44:26Speaker 7: and maybe not ever delivered to their original person. They
- 44:29Speaker 7: were kept crease free because it was it would like,
- 44:33Speaker 7: so it would keep it so it never got wrinkled
- 44:36Speaker 7: or anything. And he was a very precise man, allegedly,
- 44:39Speaker 7: and then and then to he could bring anything anywhere
- 44:42Speaker 7: and just stick it in there, and they had it.
- 44:44Speaker 4: He didn't have to stick in his pocket over there.
- 44:46Speaker 6: But it isn't the irony of a blank in that
- 44:50Speaker 6: he signed the order to establish the Secret Service for
- 44:55Speaker 6: the Protection of the President, and then before that was developed,
- 45:01Speaker 6: it was he was. He was he was taken out
- 45:04Speaker 6: at Ford's Theater.
- 45:06Speaker 10: I did not know that he signed the legislation creating
- 45:11Speaker 10: the Secret Service that evening he was shot at Ford Theater.
- 45:18Speaker 2: How about that? How about that's how that's how it ends?
- 45:21Speaker 10: No no, no, no, no no no wait wait wait,
- 45:24Speaker 10: I'm going to add to that, because this is going
- 45:26Speaker 10: to be even weirder. I had never heard this. The
- 45:29Speaker 10: secret Service that he signed legislation for came to his protection,
- 45:35Speaker 10: but only in death. In eighteen seventy six, a gang
- 45:41Speaker 10: of Chicago counterfeiters attempted to snatch Lincoln's body from his tomb,
- 45:48Speaker 10: which was protected by a single padlock in Oakridge Cemetery
- 45:52Speaker 10: in Springfield, Illinois. Their scheme was to hold the corpse
- 45:56Speaker 10: for a ransom of two hundred thousand dollars and obtain
- 46:01Speaker 10: the release of the gang's best counterfeitter from prison. Secret
- 46:05Speaker 10: Service agents, however, infiltrated the gang and we're lying in
- 46:10Speaker 10: wait to disrupt the operation.
- 46:15Speaker 2: Oh, I had never heard.
- 46:16Speaker 4: That's I love little secret stories like that.
- 46:19Speaker 2: That's what you learn here on the MotorCity.
- 46:21Speaker 4: Man. All right, I'm so much. We're educated.
- 46:25Speaker 2: He learned stuff like this, Jen, I'm in life.
- 46:28Speaker 3: I had my job.
- 46:29Speaker 2: One. Scott learns us stuff. Scott learns his stuff on
- 46:35Speaker 2: Wednesday nights.
- 46:38Speaker 1: That's it, all right, let's continue on. He's ready for
- 46:41Speaker 1: We talked about one president, and now we're going to
- 46:44Speaker 1: talk about even more of them, because they're bizarre facts
- 46:46Speaker 1: about the death of every president, right for this one.
- 46:50Speaker 1: Chester A. Arthur died at age fifty seven after a
- 46:53Speaker 1: cerebral hemmage in eighteen eighty six. Only eighteen months after
- 46:57Speaker 1: the end of his President's Team. To days before his death,
- 47:02Speaker 1: Arthur ordered all of his personal and official paper burned.
- 47:06Speaker 1: Let's continue the narrative. Grover Cleveland died at age seventy
- 47:10Speaker 1: one of coronary sclerosis in nineteen oh eight. Cleveland, the
- 47:14Speaker 1: only president to serve two non consecutive terms, said on
- 47:19Speaker 1: his deathbed, I do have I tried, have tried so
- 47:23Speaker 1: hard to do it right, Okay. Benjamin Harrison died Yeah, yeah,
- 47:29Speaker 1: till Trump, Okay, until Trump. All right, I'll worry. I
- 47:33Speaker 1: got more. Hey near with it. This is getting interesting now,
- 47:36Speaker 1: especially as I go to the President's there. Benjamin Harrison
- 47:39Speaker 1: died of know only in age sixty seven and nineteen
- 47:42Speaker 1: oh one. Five years before his death, he married a
- 47:45Speaker 1: thirty seven year old woman who was who was his
- 47:49Speaker 1: dead wife's niece. His two children, aged forty one and
- 47:52Speaker 1: thirty eight, did not approve of the marriage. I bet not, Yeah, no,
- 47:58Speaker 1: I wouldn't, okay. Took September of nineteen oh eight, William
- 48:02Speaker 1: McKinley was shot by arnarchist Leon Zugolo's eighty. He had
- 48:11Speaker 1: that I'll take that pronunciation better than I did. Boy,
- 48:14Speaker 1: this guy was my pronunciation on this name is bad
- 48:18Speaker 1: to the b Eight days later, he died at age
- 48:22Speaker 1: fifty eight from gangering resulting from the gunshot wound. The
- 48:26Speaker 1: third president to be assassinated after Lincoln and Garfield Teddy.
- 48:31Speaker 1: Roosevelt died in his sleep after coronary nimbolism and rheumatism
- 48:35Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety nineteen nineteen at the age of sixty,
- 48:38Speaker 1: and the fellow politician remarked death had to take Roosevelt sleeping,
- 48:45Speaker 1: for if he had been awake and there would have
- 48:50Speaker 1: been a fight. William Howard Taff died no heart disease
- 48:55Speaker 1: nineteen thirty at the age of seventy two. He is
- 48:57Speaker 1: remembered there's the heaviest president and weighed three hundred and
- 49:01Speaker 1: forty pounds. I don't think that McDonald's back then to
- 49:03Speaker 1: get to that number anyway during his president, But three
- 49:06Speaker 1: hundred forty pounds for press. Oh. I don't know if
- 49:09Speaker 1: they had Taylor's or what kind of clothing stores, but
- 49:11Speaker 1: I narantee he wasn't the thirty six Woodrow Wilson died
- 49:16Speaker 1: of a stroke in nineteen twenty four and eighte sixty seven.
- 49:21Speaker 1: He's the only president to be buried in Washington, DC's
- 49:24Speaker 1: city limits. And if you're looking to visit Washington National Cathedral.
- 49:29Speaker 1: Warren G. Harding died from a cerebral hemorage hemorbrhdage in
- 49:34Speaker 1: nineteen twenty three and eighty fifty seven. He was aware
- 49:36Speaker 1: he had heart condition for a few months before his death.
- 49:39Speaker 1: Thought he'd hit it from the public. Guess not. Galvin
- 49:43Speaker 1: Coolidge died of a heart attack in nineteen thirty three.
- 49:46Speaker 1: Shortly before his death, Coolidge offered confined it to an
- 49:49Speaker 1: old friend. I feel I no longer fit in with
- 49:52Speaker 1: these times. Evidently not rest in peach, mister Coolidge. And
- 49:56Speaker 1: if it makes you feel any better of the schoolage
- 49:58Speaker 1: his Coolidge Highway in Oak Park, Michigan. So there you go.
- 50:02Speaker 1: I don't know if it was named after you, though,
- 50:04Speaker 1: all right. Herbert Hoover died from a massive internal believing
- 50:07Speaker 1: leading in October nineteen sixty four. He was ninety and
- 50:11Speaker 1: only the second president to reach at day age after
- 50:15Speaker 1: John Adams. That pretty good stuff, there you have it. Okay, Eddie,
- 50:19Speaker 1: what are your thoughts about this group?
- 50:23Speaker 2: I don't even know.
- 50:24Speaker 7: Yeah, I.
- 50:28Speaker 2: There's a conspiracy theory. I'm looking for the conspiracy theory on.
- 50:31Speaker 3: How they're all died.
- 50:34Speaker 2: I'll try to look how they're all linked with the
- 50:36Speaker 2: conspiracy theory. I think it was. I don't know, there's
- 50:40Speaker 2: there's got to be something there. I don't know, you know,
- 50:43Speaker 2: the you know, I don't know, really, I don't really
- 50:48Speaker 2: have anything on that one, Scott, I can't. I went
- 50:52Speaker 2: past the Steve go.
- 50:54Speaker 8: Ahead, well, uh taft, as you said, weigh three hundred
- 51:01Speaker 8: forty pounds. When he would take in a ballgame, they
- 51:06Speaker 8: had to remove the arm between the seats so he
- 51:10Speaker 8: could fit because he took up two seats.
- 51:14Speaker 2: Wow.
- 51:15Speaker 4: Wow.
- 51:17Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 51:18Speaker 8: And Grover Cleveland, now I knew a lot about him
- 51:21Speaker 8: because we're you know, I lived in Massachusetts when he
- 51:27Speaker 8: was president. He used to visit his aunt in the
- 51:30Speaker 8: town and her house is still there, and so there
- 51:34Speaker 8: was a lot of stuff around town about him, and
- 51:39Speaker 8: you know, he was a frequent visitor there. But again,
- 51:42Speaker 8: I mean, some of these guys, they didn't live to
- 51:44Speaker 8: be very old for one reason or another. I know that,
- 51:52Speaker 8: you know, Harding may have passed away when he found
- 51:55Speaker 8: out that his love child. I think I mentioned this
- 51:58Speaker 8: once before the show, going to go public with it
- 52:02Speaker 8: about who was the dad you know, before Maury Povich,
- 52:06Speaker 8: you know, but but yeah, McKinley was assassinated and died
- 52:12Speaker 8: of gangrene. You wonder today what do you have survived
- 52:15Speaker 8: with that? And again that that's a typical conversation we've
- 52:20Speaker 8: had on this show. But yeah, but yeah, some good
- 52:24Speaker 8: stuff there, Scott.
- 52:26Speaker 1: Thanks Jen.
- 52:28Speaker 4: I mean, everybody dies of something sometime.
- 52:31Speaker 7: A lot of those people died pretty early, a little untimely,
- 52:36Speaker 7: sixty years old, my goodness, gracious. But you know, things
- 52:40Speaker 7: were a lot different back then, you know, I mean,
- 52:42Speaker 7: we're living a lot well. Actually, I think it's our
- 52:47Speaker 7: generation that is going to be the peak. And they're
- 52:50Speaker 7: saying every generation after jen X is potentially going to
- 52:54Speaker 7: start dying younger because they because of our McDonald's and
- 52:58Speaker 7: and I mean, can we say our FDA, our Food
- 53:03Speaker 7: and Drug Administration. I think they fight, they go a
- 53:07Speaker 7: little heavier on the drug a little less on the
- 53:09Speaker 7: food because our food is now drugs and our drugs
- 53:13Speaker 7: our drugs and everything is just drugs and vaccines which
- 53:16Speaker 7: are drugs.
- 53:18Speaker 4: So we have all that, but uh, there's a there's
- 53:22Speaker 4: a tipping point of that too. And I don't know,
- 53:24Speaker 4: I mean, I just recently found out John Adams is
- 53:27Speaker 4: actually in my family, so.
- 53:29Speaker 12: Oh wow, yeah, yeah, my and my friend's husband.
- 53:34Speaker 7: She was always like, oh my, her husband is clearly
- 53:39Speaker 7: looks like a descendant of John Adams. And then I
- 53:41Speaker 7: found out through my grandfather's mother. And when you see that,
- 53:45Speaker 7: like clear as day, I have a different shape faith,
- 53:48Speaker 7: but they all have that long like with the nose,
- 53:51Speaker 7: and I'm like, So I called my friend, I'm like,
- 53:53Speaker 7: I'm related to your husband.
- 53:58Speaker 4: But apparently he got around.
- 53:59Speaker 7: Because I don't her husband other than from her husband
- 54:01Speaker 7: at ally Candy.
- 54:07Speaker 10: So yeah, Daft is remembered as the heaviest. But do
- 54:10Speaker 10: you know that before he was president, he became Chief
- 54:15Speaker 10: Justice in nineteen twenty one, his health was starting to decline.
- 54:19Speaker 10: He carefully planned a fitness regimen. He walked three miles
- 54:24Speaker 10: from his home to the capitol every day and bow,
- 54:29Speaker 10: oh wow he was actually he was down to two
- 54:32Speaker 10: hundred and forty four pounds.
- 54:34Speaker 4: Wow, that's a lot. He lost a whole.
- 54:37Speaker 3: He lost the hall.
- 54:44Speaker 1: I heard there's a recent report. I don't know the airline,
- 54:49Speaker 1: but I hear there's a recent report of an airline
- 54:52Speaker 1: that's actually charging for two seats for an obse person.
- 54:56Speaker 1: I don't remember if I find.
- 54:57Speaker 8: It, yeah here, and if it's the Southwest, if you
- 55:04Speaker 8: are the size of some people, and uh, there's no
- 55:08Speaker 8: way you're fitting in one cheer, so you have to
- 55:11Speaker 8: take up two seats.
- 55:14Speaker 1: You know anything else you want to answer to it?
- 55:16Speaker 10: Candy, No, I'm good.
- 55:22Speaker 1: Okay, let's talk about our future. Top of the night.
- 55:25Speaker 1: A lot of people wondered about it. The title says
- 55:27Speaker 1: it all. Let's talk about the best state fairs in America,
- 55:32Speaker 1: and here we have it. I have ten of them.
- 55:34Speaker 1: The Texas State Fair, Oh, the Dallas of course, a
- 55:38Speaker 1: lot of people know about the Cotton Bowl is connected

- 56:32Speaker 6: state fairs just sound like a fun Yeah, they're a
- 56:36Speaker 6: fun no fun time. You know, probably get you get
- 56:39Speaker 6: your little cotton candy, get you hot off, rot Ferris Wheel,
- 56:43Speaker 6: do all that fun stuff.
- 56:45Speaker 2: You know. Don't have really any state fair down here.
- 56:50Speaker 6: You know.
- 56:51Speaker 2: I'm kind of in the the burbs of the the
- 56:54Speaker 2: burbs of the city. So it's not state farish type
- 57:00Speaker 2: type atmosphere though, but it's good, you know what. I've
- 57:03Speaker 2: gone to some you know, my my wife's side of
- 57:06Speaker 2: my wife and her side of the family.
- 57:10Speaker 6: Her mom was from Tennessee and her dad is from
- 57:13Speaker 6: down southwestern Virginia. Grew up on a farm, so very
- 57:17Speaker 6: when I think state fairs, I think of country. I
- 57:20Speaker 6: think of more rural areas that like you said, Oklahoma,
- 57:26Speaker 6: I think some of the other places. So and I've
- 57:30Speaker 6: been and I've kind of been to small fairs down
- 57:34Speaker 6: out in Tennessee and down the.
- 57:36Speaker 2: So always a fun time and those you know what.
- 57:39Speaker 2: And and when you go to the South, I will
- 57:41Speaker 2: say this, and you you know, like the Tennessee area
- 57:44Speaker 2: friendliest people you want to meet.
- 57:46Speaker 6: You know. It's not like as you as you come
- 57:49Speaker 6: up through Virginia and you start going up and you
- 57:51Speaker 6: cross the Mason Dixon line. Yeah, there's if you cross
- 57:54Speaker 6: the Mason Dixon line, nobody cares bice about it. But
- 57:56Speaker 6: you go down south, you go to that Carolinas, go
- 57:59Speaker 6: to Georgia, you go down there. Everybody's family down there.
- 58:03Speaker 6: Come on in, come on, eat some more food.
- 58:07Speaker 2: You're not eating enough, Okay, Steve.
- 58:11Speaker 8: I've been to the one in Massachusetts, and honestly, I
- 58:14Speaker 8: don't give it high marks at all. I had a
- 58:17Speaker 8: horrible time there, you know, and being from there, I
- 58:22Speaker 8: was expecting great and wonderful things. But maybe it was
- 58:26Speaker 8: just that particular day, but I didn't go back. I've
- 58:30Speaker 8: been to the one in North Carolina.
- 58:32Speaker 5: That was really fun. Half a bottle of gym beam
- 58:37Speaker 5: later it was even more fun.
- 58:40Speaker 2: Yeah, that doesn't hurt.
- 58:42Speaker 8: No, it makes you want to sing along with every
- 58:44Speaker 8: song that's playing and all that very loud, but singing nonetheless.
- 58:51Speaker 9: Now, the Texas State Fair was absolutely awesome. The food,
- 58:57Speaker 9: everything went to the Cotton Bowl, right and then that
- 59:02Speaker 9: Sunday because I was covering the Patriots, so they were
- 59:06Speaker 9: playing Dallas.
- 59:07Speaker 3: So I'm talking about what our weekend. Okay, the State Fair.
- 59:14Speaker 1: We ate so much food.
- 59:15Speaker 8: I think I gained twenty pounds in a day, you know,
- 59:18Speaker 8: because all we did was walk around and eat constantly.
- 59:22Speaker 8: And that was such an awesome place. They also had
- 59:26Speaker 8: an off road track set up where Toyota had all
- 59:30Speaker 8: their you know, like four wheel drive vehicles. You could
- 59:35Speaker 8: sign up and take for a test ride on the track.
- 59:38Speaker 8: Texas State Fair, I mean I haven't been to the
- 59:41Speaker 8: other ones, but boy, that gets high marks in my book.
- 59:45Speaker 3: I'd go back there in a second, Okay, Jen, Yeah.
- 59:49Speaker 4: I would imagine. I mean everything is actually bigger in Texas.
- 59:54Speaker 4: I did live there for two and a half years.
- 59:56Speaker 7: I worked there even longer, and it does get to
- 59:59Speaker 7: claim it fame, especially at a state fair. Now, I
- 1:00:02Speaker 7: haven't been to that exact state Fair. I've been to
- 1:00:05Speaker 7: the Texas Rodeos though, which is like a like.
- 1:00:07Speaker 2: A state fair.
- 1:00:08Speaker 7: I mean those I never I have so much fun.
- 1:00:11Speaker 7: I am a rodeo girl and never knew it before,
- 1:00:14Speaker 7: like hook Line and Singer I'm in and California we
- 1:00:18Speaker 7: have rodeos too. Who knew they're up in Central but
- 1:00:24Speaker 7: but yeah, So I mean if I were to think, like,
- 1:00:27Speaker 7: of course Texas is going to have a tremendous state
- 1:00:30Speaker 7: fair and then you go Oklahoma, Iowa, I would say,
- 1:00:33Speaker 7: I mean without a doubt, right, like to Ed's point,
- 1:00:35Speaker 7: like absolutely, the Southern states and the Northwest, you know,
- 1:00:40Speaker 7: the Midwest states, like they know how to do rodeo,
- 1:00:43Speaker 7: and so then I think they know how to do
- 1:00:44Speaker 7: state fair because to me, they're kind of hand in
- 1:00:46Speaker 7: handed is animals, although it is fried things that you
- 1:00:50Speaker 7: never knew you could fry and eat all kinds.
- 1:00:53Speaker 4: Of everything and then it turns out to be good,
- 1:00:55Speaker 4: like they were like fried butter.
- 1:00:57Speaker 7: I'm like, what thick of butter? And you stick stop
- 1:01:01Speaker 7: around it? And for God's sakes, it's drippingly deliciously. I
- 1:01:06Speaker 7: have a heart attack just thinking about it. You know,
- 1:01:09Speaker 7: like fried avocado, fried bacon, fried ants, fried twinkies.
- 1:01:14Speaker 4: Now I did that is amazing? Why would you do
- 1:01:18Speaker 4: that to me like that?
- 1:01:20Speaker 7: I love the fried twinkies and the fried rolos that
- 1:01:24Speaker 7: was amazing. Fried pickles are tremendous. All these things I
- 1:01:29Speaker 7: never knew I I they're so good, and that's why
- 1:01:33Speaker 7: I can't go.
- 1:01:34Speaker 5: But I do.
- 1:01:35Speaker 7: I like to go to the fair for the concerts,
- 1:01:37Speaker 7: but then you know, if you're going to go in
- 1:01:39Speaker 7: the other I mean, you always want to go to
- 1:01:41Speaker 7: the concert but like, the animal stuff is so cool,
- 1:01:44Speaker 7: and the pig races, and I just think there's there's
- 1:01:47Speaker 7: different entertainment at a state fair than any any other
- 1:01:52Speaker 7: type of venue. And so the Minneapolis one I would
- 1:01:56Speaker 7: definitely want to check out because it's so cold there
- 1:01:59Speaker 7: all the time that I think when they get you know,
- 1:02:01Speaker 7: when it's when it's warm enough to have state fair,
- 1:02:03Speaker 7: they probably just go crazy.
- 1:02:05Speaker 1: Yeah sir, all right, Candy, go ahead. We know you're
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: gonna talk about West Alice.
- 1:02:12Speaker 10: So I can honestly say that both of my grandmothers
- 1:02:17Speaker 10: have won Blue Ribbons at the Wisconsin State Fair for
- 1:02:21Speaker 10: different things that they have cooked, baked, made. I can
- 1:02:27Speaker 10: say that the State Fair for Wisconsin literally was just
- 1:02:31Speaker 10: August sixth through the sixteenth. One of my friends was there.
- 1:02:38Speaker 10: They had, as you're saying, unusual or different items pickle pizza,
- 1:02:44Speaker 10: Nashville hot fried mozzarella, deep fried dot cake, lemonberry cheese curds,
- 1:02:52Speaker 10: fruit that Lulu tangy candies, fruit skewers.
- 1:02:59Speaker 4: I mean.
- 1:03:00Speaker 10: And what I'm going to say that that Wisconsin and there,
- 1:03:07Speaker 10: what they're really known for is their cream.
- 1:03:10Speaker 4: Puffs, the state cheese curds.
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: They're crazy.
- 1:03:14Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 1:03:16Speaker 10: They serve over four hundred thousand cream puffs at the
- 1:03:23Speaker 10: State air which is selling them at a rate of
- 1:03:27Speaker 10: fifty to sixty every minute. It's crazy. Yeah, they're known
- 1:03:34Speaker 10: for it. They've been known for it for years. I
- 1:03:38Speaker 10: can tell you that I've been to the Wisconsin State
- 1:03:41Speaker 10: Fair numerous numerous times. Yeah, they're selling fifty to sixty
- 1:03:46Speaker 10: per minute in eleven days for the cream puffs. That's
- 1:03:49Speaker 10: one of the big things in their eleven day run.
- 1:03:52Speaker 2: Wow.
- 1:03:54Speaker 8: When I went to the Texas State Fair, my wife
- 1:03:57Speaker 8: had had lived a quite fortunate him for young life
- 1:04:03Speaker 8: there and she said, you have to go to the
- 1:04:05Speaker 8: guy that sells the's enormous corn dogs. And it looked
- 1:04:11Speaker 8: like a cone dog on a hockey stick, that's how
- 1:04:13Speaker 8: huge it was. And I was like right, because I
- 1:04:18Speaker 8: was talking with the guy. We were waiting in line forever.
- 1:04:21Speaker 1: The line was long, so.
- 1:04:23Speaker 8: I said, I've been hearing about these, you know. You know,
- 1:04:26Speaker 8: I told him a story about my wife and he
- 1:04:28Speaker 8: was like, oh, you're gonna love it.
- 1:04:29Speaker 1: Well.
- 1:04:30Speaker 8: When he handed it to me, I was like, holy right,
- 1:04:34Speaker 8: and I was like, how many of these are you selling?
- 1:04:38Speaker 8: And right behind him was two refrigerated semi trailers and
- 1:04:43Speaker 8: he said those are that. When we got here, those
- 1:04:47Speaker 8: were full and by the time the fair's over, those
- 1:04:50Speaker 8: will be empty.
- 1:04:51Speaker 5: Wow.
- 1:04:53Speaker 2: And it was like that.
- 1:04:54Speaker 5: It was like a corn dog on a hockey stick.
- 1:04:56Speaker 5: I mean, that thing was enormous. So I was like,
- 1:04:59Speaker 5: that thing was like eighteen nineteen.
- 1:05:00Speaker 4: It's goodness gracious, And.
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: I knew this was going to be a great topic.
- 1:05:07Speaker 1: Everybody's got something to saying. Awesome, I am going to say.
- 1:05:10Speaker 2: With you, you know, I like to think so, oh
- 1:05:14Speaker 2: my god, yo, that is yeah.
- 1:05:18Speaker 5: That stuff there.
- 1:05:21Speaker 4: My bucket list has grown.
- 1:05:22Speaker 7: Who knew I was going to add all these crazy
- 1:05:25Speaker 7: state farris to my bucket list.
- 1:05:27Speaker 10: They've been selling cream puffs at the Wisconsin State Fairs
- 1:05:30Speaker 10: since nineteen twenty four, in.
- 1:05:34Speaker 2: Over one hundred years.
- 1:05:36Speaker 1: See, I've seen the Wisconsin State Fair by distance. I
- 1:05:39Speaker 1: want to get to Milwaukee Mile, get behind one of
- 1:05:41Speaker 1: the race stars.
- 1:05:42Speaker 10: That's part of that's part of the fair. There's the
- 1:05:44Speaker 10: Milwaukee Mile, there's the livestock barns, there's all kinds of
- 1:05:49Speaker 10: other exhibits. There's the like rodeo like uh, and then
- 1:05:55Speaker 10: they have the concerts. I will tell you I saw
- 1:05:58Speaker 10: a concert there. I saw Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton.
- 1:06:02Speaker 4: No, that's awesome.
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: All right. You ready for an interesting story from me
- 1:06:09Speaker 1: on this one, because I got a good one. When
- 1:06:12Speaker 1: I first started in this industry and I was producing
- 1:06:15Speaker 1: at w y Z. I mentioned that earlier, and there's
- 1:06:17Speaker 1: a reason why I had an opportunity to do a
- 1:06:21Speaker 1: remote show at the Michigan State Fair. And you know
- 1:06:24Speaker 1: who was sitting alongside of me Ready for this, Dick
- 1:06:28Speaker 1: night train Lane. Yeah, and Dick and I I wish
- 1:06:34Speaker 1: I would have had camera phone Jack, and we had
- 1:06:38Speaker 1: a great time. We were talking football, and then I
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: was screening calls odd site. Jick Knight Train Lane for
- 1:06:44Speaker 1: all you football people out there and the MotorCity man
- 1:06:46Speaker 1: Mouth are making memory back in the day when there
- 1:06:49Speaker 1: were none of the technology at all. So I love
- 1:06:53Speaker 1: every one of your stories and yes, Steve, the the
- 1:06:56Speaker 1: Texas State Fair is now on my fucking to got
- 1:07:00Speaker 1: to go. And then I drag your candy.
- 1:07:02Speaker 8: You know it's it's the cotton balls there. And then
- 1:07:05Speaker 8: you know they always have it on the day that
- 1:07:09Speaker 8: you know, Texas Oklahoma the big football game.
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: They call it the Red River Shootout. Yeah, Terry Osowski
- 1:07:21Speaker 1: were a great person. Look forward to seeing on our
- 1:07:23Speaker 1: own a few more topics. I want to get to
- 1:07:25Speaker 1: with every ones. We don't. We'll carry over to next
- 1:07:28Speaker 1: week or the week after. And that says. Unfortunately it's
- 1:07:33Speaker 1: been under a year, but former Yankees player Jesus Montero
- 1:07:36Speaker 1: died in Venezuela two weeks after a motorcycle crash. He
- 1:07:40Speaker 1: was thirty five. You know what, we'll make this a
- 1:07:42Speaker 1: rapid fire one. I used to drive motorcycles a long
- 1:07:47Speaker 1: time ago, and I enjoyed Dirk bikes. But this is
- 1:07:50Speaker 1: a shame that a guy like this guy here is career.
- 1:07:53Speaker 1: He was still in an MLB career. Guys on a
- 1:07:56Speaker 1: motorcycle crash, I'm motorcycle crashes over there. We're gonna go
- 1:08:00Speaker 1: rampant flare is this we're here? Rest in peace, by
- 1:08:02Speaker 1: the way, Hayesus Montero your thoughts, Eddie.
- 1:08:05Speaker 6: Uh, well, yeah, obviously, rest in peace. You know, it's
- 1:08:08Speaker 6: it's always a tragedy when anybody guys, especially somebody who's young.
- 1:08:14Speaker 6: You know, thirty five is a young person.
- 1:08:16Speaker 13: I don't know if he's has any family father, you know,
- 1:08:19Speaker 13: is his dad, husband, etcetera.
- 1:08:22Speaker 2: I know people who like ride motorcycles.
- 1:08:25Speaker 6: I know a friend of mine who's a big motorcycle
- 1:08:27Speaker 6: rider for the longest time slid his bike and and
- 1:08:32Speaker 6: wrecked it bad.
- 1:08:33Speaker 2: Uh survived, but got rid of the bike and is
- 1:08:36Speaker 2: now riding up four wheels all the time.
- 1:08:40Speaker 8: But no, it's it's sad, okay, Steve, Yeah, that's a
- 1:08:46Speaker 8: long time twenty five year Harley rider.
- 1:08:49Speaker 5: H Yeah. I feel for his family.
- 1:08:52Speaker 8: I mean, I've been in several motorcycle wrecks myself, but
- 1:08:56Speaker 8: I was able to walk away from them with varying
- 1:09:00Speaker 8: degrees of road rash. But you know, able to walk
- 1:09:04Speaker 8: away nonetheless. But I know, you know, those things are
- 1:09:09Speaker 8: motorcycle wrecks are very unforgiving.
- 1:09:11Speaker 5: So feel for his family, all right, Jen, Yeah.
- 1:09:16Speaker 4: It's harsh. I mean, I love motorcycles, I love riding.
- 1:09:21Speaker 4: I write Princess now I no longer write bitch, now
- 1:09:24Speaker 4: that I've been, now that I know that this princess
- 1:09:26Speaker 4: seat exists, I sit there. I do like riding on
- 1:09:31Speaker 4: the back of a Harley or an Indian.
- 1:09:33Speaker 7: I know that that's very controversial, but you know, I've
- 1:09:39Speaker 7: I've lost friends to motorcycles since I was twenty years old,
- 1:09:43Speaker 7: and it's never easy. In fact, my I call her
- 1:09:48Speaker 7: my my pseudo daughter.
- 1:09:49Speaker 4: My friends. My friend's kids are my pseudo kids.
- 1:09:52Speaker 7: And she just lost the father of her six babies
- 1:09:56Speaker 7: to a motorcycle accident just a month ago, and so
- 1:09:59Speaker 7: it is. It's always awful, and especially at such a
- 1:10:03Speaker 7: young age. I don't think that we should ban motorcycles though,
- 1:10:07Speaker 7: but I would love it if we had roads where
- 1:10:09Speaker 7: motorcycles could ride, not.
- 1:10:11Speaker 4: Dirt bike like not you know what I mean, Like.
- 1:10:14Speaker 7: Just where motorcycles could just be safer, especially where if
- 1:10:17Speaker 7: just move the diesels out, I think, you know, as
- 1:10:19Speaker 7: one thing, but I don't know. I think we have
- 1:10:21Speaker 7: a lot, a lot to be examined still in the
- 1:10:24Speaker 7: way our roads are ridden.
- 1:10:27Speaker 2: Upon, and I think people have to be more aware.
- 1:10:30Speaker 2: I think people were driving distracted nowadays and it's becoming
- 1:10:33Speaker 2: even worse with everything, with everything, and you know, and
- 1:10:38Speaker 2: you know, yeah exactly, and and you know and no,
- 1:10:42Speaker 2: I know, not all motorcycles, I mean. And then sometimes
- 1:10:45Speaker 2: you know, people need to be more aware. And then
- 1:10:47Speaker 2: some of the motorcycle riders, I'm not saying all of them,
- 1:10:51Speaker 2: you know, they they may if it's I know, I've
- 1:10:53Speaker 2: seen it here in DC.
- 1:10:55Speaker 6: If the traffic SPADs, some of them will ride on
- 1:10:57Speaker 6: the shoulder, will ride between the cars. They'll do stuff
- 1:11:01Speaker 6: like that that can that is that is dangerous, you
- 1:11:04Speaker 6: know that if somebody doesn't see.
- 1:11:06Speaker 2: And so yeah, it's almost like they need them.
- 1:11:10Speaker 6: Like they have bike lanes on some of the local
- 1:11:12Speaker 6: roads we have around there because we have a we
- 1:11:15Speaker 6: have a high bike popular A lot of people bike
- 1:11:17Speaker 6: on roads around here.
- 1:11:18Speaker 2: Nowadays. They almost need like a motorcycle lane in some
- 1:11:22Speaker 2: places to make it better.
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: See Katie, I saw using cell phones. I wouldn't be
- 1:11:28Speaker 1: surprised if that has a let to do it, I'm
- 1:11:29Speaker 1: go ahead and take it.
- 1:11:31Speaker 10: I'll be But yeah, we were talking about being distracted
- 1:11:33Speaker 10: when we drive. I also think that sometimes motorcyclists take liberties.
- 1:11:40Speaker 10: They have to remember that they're on the road with
- 1:11:42Speaker 10: the cars. So they have to. They have to observe
- 1:11:46Speaker 10: everything just like a car. So if you and in
- 1:11:49Speaker 10: the same breath me that if I'm driving a car
- 1:11:52Speaker 10: and I'm behind a motorcyclist, you have to remember that
- 1:11:56Speaker 10: there you have to leave enough space between you and
- 1:12:00Speaker 10: And I think these days we drive a little too aggressive,
- 1:12:03Speaker 10: We're too much in a rush, and so I think
- 1:12:07Speaker 10: everybody is that way. And yes, to your point ed,
- 1:12:10Speaker 10: I've seen motorcyclists and this kind of irks me at
- 1:12:13Speaker 10: times when with traffic is backed up, Oh, there's just
- 1:12:17Speaker 10: enough room for me to get in between the car,
- 1:12:21Speaker 10: and it's like, wait a minute, and now all of
- 1:12:22Speaker 10: a sudden, I can start speeding up, but now I've
- 1:12:24Speaker 10: got to wait because this motorcyclist thought they could. So
- 1:12:27Speaker 10: I think we just all have to respect the rules
- 1:12:30Speaker 10: of the road, both motorcyclists and those of us that
- 1:12:34Speaker 10: aren't in a motorcycle.
- 1:12:36Speaker 2: Well, when I see them doing that, I get that
- 1:12:38Speaker 2: that you see it in the movie. Sometimes they go
- 1:12:41Speaker 2: and you want to open your door and watch the flip.
- 1:12:44Speaker 2: It's not going to do it, but you know you
- 1:12:46Speaker 2: just yeah, Yes, Now to your point, Candy about leaving space,
- 1:12:56Speaker 2: I like the leave space for various reasons, just because honestly,
- 1:13:01Speaker 2: you know, I was thought one time you leave space
- 1:13:03Speaker 2: also in case something something happens, you get.
- 1:13:06Speaker 6: Rear endered were you know, let's say there's an active shooter.
- 1:13:09Speaker 6: You can get out, you can get your you don't
- 1:13:11Speaker 6: you're not wedged in. I will literally do that on
- 1:13:15Speaker 6: a road that's not highly congested. It's like a two
- 1:13:17Speaker 6: lane it's our main two lane road.
- 1:13:18Speaker 2: And I'll do that. It'll light, somebody will come in
- 1:13:21Speaker 2: and swoop it into it's it's probably like a car
- 1:13:24Speaker 2: length and a half. I'll leave in front of me.
- 1:13:26Speaker 6: Somebody will actually come past me and swoop in right
- 1:13:29Speaker 6: in front of me, and and they're like, it's like
- 1:13:35Speaker 6: to your point, everybody's in a rush. It's like and
- 1:13:38Speaker 6: then you pass then you know, then they move into
- 1:13:40Speaker 6: the other lane because the other guy's not going fast enough,
- 1:13:43Speaker 6: and then I passed.
- 1:13:45Speaker 2: Them, just kind of going down the road. It's it's annoying.
- 1:13:49Speaker 7: But technology, though, to your point, Candy, when you're talking
- 1:13:52Speaker 7: about it's not just that it's distracting. It's actually reprogramming
- 1:13:55Speaker 7: our brains and it gives us anxiety and the ans
- 1:13:58Speaker 7: and that's why kids have such anxiety and depression is
- 1:14:01Speaker 7: it's actually triggered by the actual scrolling of the phone.
- 1:14:04Speaker 7: Like the way the phone is designed is exactly like
- 1:14:08Speaker 7: you're gambling.
- 1:14:09Speaker 4: You know what I mean.
- 1:14:09Speaker 7: So it hits on its triggers and addictions, and then
- 1:14:13Speaker 7: we're all programmed for anxiety and all this. And then
- 1:14:16Speaker 7: you get behind the wheel and you have that and
- 1:14:18Speaker 7: you just go everybody right, and that's where I mean,
- 1:14:21Speaker 7: it's all simmer down.
- 1:14:23Speaker 2: You know, we all need to.
- 1:14:25Speaker 7: I grew up in California and so splitting lanes for
- 1:14:27Speaker 7: motorcycles has been around since way before I was ever
- 1:14:31Speaker 7: even you know, driving, and so I am used to
- 1:14:34Speaker 7: looking and watching for them, but that doesn't mean that
- 1:14:38Speaker 7: I see them every single time.
- 1:14:39Speaker 4: And now you're adding e bikes onto it, which are
- 1:14:41Speaker 4: a lot of them are motorcycles, you know what I mean.
- 1:14:44Speaker 7: Like they're motor bikes and they're they're some of them
- 1:14:48Speaker 7: can go up to sixty miles an hour.
- 1:14:49Speaker 4: I mean, that's oh are they some of them can?
- 1:14:53Speaker 4: You know?
- 1:14:53Speaker 7: And so it's interesting because I was gonna, I was
- 1:14:56Speaker 7: thinking about opening a store, and now I'm kind of
- 1:14:58Speaker 7: really glad I didn't because they're there's so under fire,
- 1:15:01Speaker 7: you know, but it's it's a it's an interesting conversation
- 1:15:04Speaker 7: and the danger really and the e bikes. The e
- 1:15:06Speaker 7: bikes were invented by a guy who wanted to take
- 1:15:09Speaker 7: the pressure off of his knees and he's the one
- 1:15:12Speaker 7: that came up. And it's literally a napkin pedigo is
- 1:15:14Speaker 7: a napkin business, back of the napkin on the bar
- 1:15:17Speaker 7: in a bar business.
- 1:15:19Speaker 4: And so he invented it for that.
- 1:15:22Speaker 7: And now you have the kids who are doing it,
- 1:15:24Speaker 7: but they don't know the rules of the road, they
- 1:15:26Speaker 7: don't know how to respect that a driver can't see them,
- 1:15:29Speaker 7: and that's I think the most dangerous part. And I
- 1:15:32Speaker 7: think motorcycles get that too, Like they're so used to
- 1:15:35Speaker 7: maneuvering in and around and there they take the offensive lane,
- 1:15:39Speaker 7: you know, that role, and in doing that, you can
- 1:15:43Speaker 7: get tackled very easily by people who don't even maybe
- 1:15:45Speaker 7: mean to tackle you, you know.
- 1:15:47Speaker 2: So it's what our e bikes are.
- 1:15:49Speaker 6: Our e bikes just MOI version of the mop head.
- 1:15:54Speaker 2: Absolutely, yeah, yeah, and maybe a little a little fancier right.
- 1:15:59Speaker 14: Then, because I saw it. The first time I saw one,
- 1:16:02Speaker 14: I was with a buddy of mine. I like that's
- 1:16:04Speaker 14: a mopen. Yeah, and you know that's a bike that
- 1:16:07Speaker 14: you you can peddle it or you can ride it.
- 1:16:10Speaker 14: So I thought that was It's like everything gets back
- 1:16:14Speaker 14: around anyway.
- 1:16:15Speaker 1: I've got one more topic. I'm sorry. I up everybody.
- 1:16:18Speaker 1: I have one more top they need to get to.
- 1:16:20Speaker 1: We have Sports Exchange coming around nine nine oh five
- 1:16:22Speaker 1: Eastern time. I love the discussion amongst you four's and
- 1:16:25Speaker 1: great to watch everybody and slip something in every once
- 1:16:27Speaker 1: in a while. This is unbelievable with this group, Steve.
- 1:16:29Speaker 1: We've had a lot of interesting groups. What do you
- 1:16:31Speaker 1: think of this group collectively? We've been doing this from
- 1:16:34Speaker 1: me Againning, Steve, love it. I love it. This is awesome.
- 1:16:40Speaker 1: And well, I promise I'd go out there and throw
- 1:16:42Speaker 1: everything out. And so Jen sees a lot of things.
- 1:16:46Speaker 1: So the first time and I met at the Fox
- 1:16:48Speaker 1: thirteen reports that Ron DeSantis signed a death warrant for
- 1:16:52Speaker 1: a man who killed a woman he met in a
- 1:16:55Speaker 1: Florida bar forty four years ago. Dennis Michael Socker or
- 1:17:00Speaker 1: seventy four strangle a woman. Any New Year celebration, now,
- 1:17:04Speaker 1: let's station. I don't have ten twenty minutes talk about this. One.
- 1:17:07Speaker 1: But I will say one thing about our governor in Florida,
- 1:17:10Speaker 1: Ron DeSantis is a no nonsense governor, and he's gonna
- 1:17:13Speaker 1: get rid of these people. And I'm sure that as
- 1:17:17Speaker 1: I continue to bring these stories into the program that
- 1:17:20Speaker 1: you're gonna find out that there's been some unbelievable execution stuff.
- 1:17:24Speaker 1: But all right, Jen, well let's just go to the top.
- 1:17:26Speaker 1: We have one more. Maybe I could sneak another one end.
- 1:17:29Speaker 1: But Edward, your thoughts about the governor, no nonsense. They
- 1:17:32Speaker 1: got rid of a guy sitting out there forty four
- 1:17:35Speaker 1: years ago. Justice finally got handled here, Eddie.
- 1:17:40Speaker 2: I'm all for I'm all for justice in karma.
- 1:17:44Speaker 6: If the judicial system can't handle it, I believe that
- 1:17:49Speaker 6: society in the world has.
- 1:17:50Speaker 2: A way of handling it.
- 1:17:51Speaker 6: It's karma, it's whatever you want to call it. It's
- 1:17:54Speaker 6: the governor signing whatever he signed. So no, I you know,
- 1:17:58Speaker 6: whether right, wrong, room different. I'm kind of an eye
- 1:18:02Speaker 6: for an eye. That guy you don't take. You don't
- 1:18:06Speaker 6: take a life for any unless it's in self defense.
- 1:18:10Speaker 2: But no, it's I don't have a problem with it.
- 1:18:13Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, let's face of this guy went out
- 1:18:15Speaker 1: there and strangled the lady, and that's a bad stuff.
- 1:18:18Speaker 1: It really did. I have no use of that, Steve. Yeah.
- 1:18:22Speaker 3: My only issue is why was this guy on death
- 1:18:25Speaker 3: row for forty four years?
- 1:18:26Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 1:18:28Speaker 8: You know, I mean right, he was convicted, he was
- 1:18:31Speaker 8: put on death row, and then he's sitting there for
- 1:18:35Speaker 8: forty four years. I mean that's ridiculous. And uh, you know,
- 1:18:41Speaker 8: I've seen a lot of things in the newspaper. They're like,
- 1:18:44Speaker 8: well he's old. Now, well, yeah, well the lady isn't old.
- 1:18:47Speaker 1: Who could have been? Right?
- 1:18:49Speaker 3: So I'm sorry, I you know, it's a long overdue.
- 1:18:54Speaker 4: Yeah, forty four years of life that she didn't get exactly.
- 1:18:57Speaker 1: You know. Well, I mean that's it. Pardon the punt here,
- 1:19:01Speaker 1: but he's trying to get rid of a lot of
- 1:19:04Speaker 1: dead weight in the prison system.
- 1:19:06Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, yeah, here, here's the whole thing. I mean,
- 1:19:11Speaker 2: to Steve's point, he was on death row. But it's
- 1:19:13Speaker 2: not even Implorida. If you look at death row across
- 1:19:16Speaker 2: the country, there's a whole issue with prisoners sitting on
- 1:19:19Speaker 2: death row and eating taxpayers money for crimes they've been committed.
- 1:19:25Speaker 6: You know that the yeah, no, there's the judicial system
- 1:19:30Speaker 6: is broken, both for good and bad, and you know
- 1:19:37Speaker 6: it doesn't protect those who it does, and it kind
- 1:19:39Speaker 6: of burdens society with keeping those alive he shouldn't be.
- 1:19:44Speaker 6: And then sometimes you have personers take care of take
- 1:19:47Speaker 6: care of things in prison.
- 1:19:48Speaker 2: And then.
- 1:19:50Speaker 1: Great point, I'm glad you brought the president. All right,
- 1:19:53Speaker 1: go ahead. I lose once in a while like this,
- 1:20:00Speaker 1: trying to keep everything. We're going to go ahead, candy. Yeah,
- 1:20:03Speaker 1: the last word, I'm going to get one more top
- 1:20:04Speaker 1: again that I really need to get in. Go ahead, Candy.
- 1:20:07Speaker 10: He was convicted of killing an eighteen year old after
- 1:20:09Speaker 10: meeting her at a bar in Fort Lauderdale following a
- 1:20:13Speaker 10: New Year's Eve celebration. He received a death sentence in
- 1:20:16Speaker 10: nineteen eighty two and remained in prison on death row
- 1:20:20Speaker 10: for four decades through various legal appeals. That's the part
- 1:20:25Speaker 10: of the system that's broken. We shouldn't be able to
- 1:20:28Speaker 10: appeal and appeal and appeal and appeal for four decades.
- 1:20:32Speaker 1: Okay.
- 1:20:32Speaker 2: The problem we're in a regigious society.
- 1:20:35Speaker 6: Everything is I mean, just look at our president and
- 1:20:38Speaker 6: all the lawyers he's working for him.
- 1:20:40Speaker 7: I mean, I don't I don't want to take away
- 1:20:42Speaker 7: the appeal because you know, certainly, there are plenty of
- 1:20:45Speaker 7: situations that you know, the appeal is necessary and people
- 1:20:49Speaker 7: are wrongly convicted sometimes, and I think appeals are are
- 1:20:54Speaker 7: necessary and valid.
- 1:20:55Speaker 4: But to your point, if you keep losing, like what,
- 1:20:58Speaker 4: I don't, why.
- 1:20:59Speaker 2: Do Yeah at forty four years, where's where's the streak? Stop?
- 1:21:03Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, I don't.
- 1:21:07Speaker 1: Okay, one more topic I want to get to real quickly.
- 1:21:09Speaker 1: The French Open produced a least watch final in twenty
- 1:21:12Speaker 1: years at Roland garriss Is. The men's final drew one
- 1:21:15Speaker 1: point three million viewers on TNT, down twenty five percent
- 1:21:18Speaker 1: and last year's al Chorist Center matchup. Okay, any real quickly,
- 1:21:22Speaker 1: what are your thoughts about the decline?
- 1:21:26Speaker 2: Who was in the final? It was probably possibly because
- 1:21:30Speaker 2: who was in the final. I'm not a tennis.
- 1:21:34Speaker 1: They sadly think they just put out there as they
- 1:21:37Speaker 1: just said it was down twenty.
- 1:21:38Speaker 2: Yes, I'm gonna say there's probably two relative unknowns in
- 1:21:43Speaker 2: the final.
- 1:21:45Speaker 1: In that's fair enough, okay, Steve, some thoughts. Candy's going
- 1:21:52Speaker 1: to research it because you Yeah, I'm.
- 1:21:54Speaker 3: Not a big tennis person, so I mean, I don't
- 1:21:57Speaker 3: really have an opinion on that one.
- 1:22:01Speaker 1: The godhead.
- 1:22:05Speaker 7: Well, I was just gonna say, I think it's down
- 1:22:06Speaker 7: to the marketing, and to Ed's point, it was probably
- 1:22:09Speaker 7: not worth the dollars to squeeze because if no one
- 1:22:11Speaker 7: knows the names anyway, you're gonna hype up what But
- 1:22:14Speaker 7: I didn't even hear about it. I think TD overall
- 1:22:17Speaker 7: has turned into a chore, Like watching anything anymore is
- 1:22:22Speaker 7: like what channel?
- 1:22:23Speaker 4: What system are you going to go through? Like everything is?
- 1:22:27Speaker 7: And then when when, like it's everything's work these days
- 1:22:31Speaker 7: where it used to be okay, everybody knows the US
- 1:22:34Speaker 7: opens on and you know this time, we're all going
- 1:22:36Speaker 7: to gather in a bar whatever, you know what I mean,
- 1:22:38Speaker 7: gathered a party, gathering a bar like. I don't think
- 1:22:40Speaker 7: people are doing it even so much. I think all
- 1:22:43Speaker 7: sports you're gonna see are are kind of going down.
- 1:22:47Speaker 1: Great points. I agree. I only watch what I have
- 1:22:50Speaker 1: to gen that validation point.
- 1:22:52Speaker 10: Katie, I know you have the I'm the tennis I'm
- 1:22:55Speaker 10: the only tennis fan on the panel here tonight. But yeah,
- 1:22:58Speaker 10: part of the steep drop was people that were no
- 1:23:02Speaker 10: longer in the tournament, Novak Djokovic, Carlos al Alka, Kara's
- 1:23:09Speaker 10: Janik sinner. They all left early on. The finals was
- 1:23:13Speaker 10: between Alexander Zeverev and Flavio Kobali, and it didn't have
- 1:23:20Speaker 10: Rafael Nodal, Roger Federer and those big names that we've
- 1:23:24Speaker 10: seen for years and years. That's part of the reason
- 1:23:28Speaker 10: why it's dropped. And to your point, Jennifer, with streaming
- 1:23:31Speaker 10: services and all these other things, is everybody watching, where
- 1:23:34Speaker 10: are they watching? How are they watching?
- 1:23:38Speaker 2: Okay, just to figure out what you're gonna.
- 1:23:44Speaker 1: He'll take us a lot longer to figure that one out.
- 1:23:46Speaker 1: All right, One Tariover topic they'll be on next week.
- 1:23:48Speaker 1: Just everybody know, we're gonna talk about the US government
- 1:23:51Speaker 1: Bailey out Argentina during a financial crisis, turning the government shutdown.
- 1:23:55Speaker 1: That'll be on next week's episode of The Motorca Man.
- 1:23:58Speaker 1: Glad we got to everything else. Glad we got I
- 1:24:00Speaker 1: had another person on the panel who is in the
- 1:24:02Speaker 1: eyes of Jimmy Walker. She's dynamite again, all of you
- 1:24:05Speaker 1: are dynamite about jan Hey, listen, We're gonna bring on
- 1:24:08Speaker 1: a lot of interesting stuff. And I know the first
- 1:24:11Speaker 1: impressions or anything with her. Of course, it's not a
- 1:24:13Speaker 1: first impression with me. I've known her a long time.
- 1:24:15Speaker 1: She was outstanding and out I adore her big time
- 1:24:18Speaker 1: and Jesus a great friend. So and maybe we'll bring
