  Speaker 1: Hey, this is Annie and Samantha. I'm welcome to Stephan
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: never told your protection of iHeart Radio, and welcome to
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: another segment of activists, advocates and just change makers around
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: the world, history makers, I guess too. Yeah, we're just
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: gonna put all of that in. We are going to
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: time stamp this because what we're talking about is within
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: the year of so just so you know, Uh, it
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: is August two. Uh, and it's rainy and hot and
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: my air conditions not working. So no bad, real bad,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: not good. Well, today we're going to talk about people
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: who have been breaking records are making history. Um. And
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: I had a thought, Annie, have you ever tried to
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: do something to break a world record? No? I have not,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: but I am extremely competitive. I have entered into a
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: lot of contests in my day. But I don't remember
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: this show. But there was this show on Nickelodeon, which
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: I didn't have Nickelodeon growing up, but my grandparents did,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: and so i'd go to their house and I would
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: watched Nickelodeon, and there was the show where kids just
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: came on and did like talents. Um, it might win
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: a prize or something. So I practiced for that. I
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: was really good, well, really good in my brain. I
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: don't know if I was second, but I was really
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: good at tap dancing. And then I tried to do
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: this like snapping routine because I saw another kid win
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: by the snapping routine, and I tried to combine the
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: snapping and the tap dance. And then I never actually
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: entered it, but I did put in some effort for that.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to find this routine. You need to
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: do it for us. It's really good. Okay, do you
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: have We're gonna have to find stuff. I still have
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: tap shoes that might fit, but they're very old, so
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: I doubt I bet they've been eaten by mold or something.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I haven't. I was pretty we're gonna
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: find yeah. My brother, so I was not into all
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: of that. I was just like chilling. I was a
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: nerd that just sat in the corner and read um.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: But my brother thought he could upbreak the yo yo record.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: He was really into his yo yo and would go
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: around trying to do tricks. I think what he was
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: really trying to do was find a way to hit
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: me with it and be like, oh, that was an
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: accident to be honest, but he really thought he could
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: do some things because we would watch kind of like
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: we were talking about Nickelodeon shows with like professionals who
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: would do all of these tricks, you know, the dult
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: trapiece things, the triangle things, a walking dog, all of that.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: So he really got into it and for a while
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: thought he was going to do this again. I still
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: have maintained that. I think he was just trying to
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: hit me with it, or kind of close to hitting
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: me with it and be like, oh no, I was
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: probablyticing my yo yo. But I digress. There's been some
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: amazing things happening this year when it comes to ladies
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: breaking records and making history, so we wanted to take
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: some time because we've been talking about breaking records and
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: doing amazing things to talk about them and they're amazing accomplishments. Yes,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: and first we wanted to start with the youngest woman
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: to fly solo around the world, Zarah Rutherford. Rutherford, a
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: nineteen year old Belgium, flew across five continents and more
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: than thirty two thousand miles over five months in a
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: micro light aircraft. Her flight included sixty stops across the continents,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: including two delays in Alaska and Russia. She said of
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: her travels that quote the hardest part was flying over Siberia.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: It was extremely cold, and if the engine was to stall,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: I'd be hours away from rescue. I'm not sure I
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: would have survived, but thankfully she did, and though this
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: took longer than expected, she made it back in January
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: of twenty two. She started training for her license in
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: high school and was sponsored by her former school St.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Swisson's finlay House, who congratulated her for her achievements. In
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: her interview with The Washington Post, she said, quote, growing up,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: I never really saw many other female pilots, and that
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: was really discouraging. So right now I'm doing my best
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: to try to be a friendly face. And not only
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: did she break the record for being the youngest woman
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: to fly, she also broke the record for being the
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: quote first woman to circumnavigate the globe and on microlight aircraft,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: which is pretty cool. Yes, um, And speaking of flying,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: we didn't put Mitch into this, but we did want
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: to talk about the fact that on August eight, in
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: American Airline flight from Dallas Fort Worth had an all
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: the first time ever all black female crew, which was
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: pretty phenomenal when you look at all the things that
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: we've talked about, especially like Bessie Coleman, who we had
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: on our female first episode and her accomplishments. But we
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: did want to acknowledge them and their amazing flight. But
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: that was a good fun flight too, you know, they
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: had some good times. Um. But next, we also wanted
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: to congratulate golf for Hannah Green. Green from Australia made
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: history becoming the first woman to win a mixed gender
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: professional golf tournament. At the beginning of this year, she
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: won the TPC Murray River event in the PG eight
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Tour austral Asia and by the way, she was the
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: twenty nineteen winner of the Women's PGA Championship as well.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: After her when she said quote, hopefully it's inspiring for
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: the rest of the girls, not only in the juniors
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: but in the field to try and get their name
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: on a trophy. We need to get as much exposure
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: as possible and it's great that we have events in
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: the summer when the peak of the sport is on.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: So congratulations to her. Yes, then we have the all
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: ladies team that broke the world record for rowing Livy Costello,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Sophia Dennison, Johnston Broke Downs, and Adrian Smith from the
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Latin thirty five team rowed from California to Hawaii, rowing
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: more than two thousand four d nautical miles, taking turns
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: rowing in two hours shifts. They rode for thirty four days,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: fourteen hours and eleven minutes, arriving in Honolulu. They survived
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: on a prepackaged meals and took a ninety minute sleep
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: breaks per day. And not only was this their first
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: time rowing in the deep ocean, but they did it
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: without assistance. Who ninety minutes right apparently had a pretty
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: big online following. Uh so they were really encouraged by
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: the people who are like, yeah, I get it. I
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: couldn't imagine rowing is hard. And they only slipped ninety
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: minutes a day. No, thank you, I cannot survive that ever. Um.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: And then we also wanted to take the time to
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: shout out Tomorrow Wildcott, who broke the record for heaviest
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: cumulative lift for bench squad and press during the World
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Raw Powerlifting Federation American Pro She is from Maryland, UM
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: and competing this year. She apparently started training in when
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: she was trying to get into shape, and she couldn't
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: go out for basketball or baseball, as she said, because
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: she was a mom, and she was a single mom
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: and needed to do this on her time, and this
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: was something that she could do and got really passionate about. Obviously,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: she lifted one thousand, six hundred twenty point four pounds
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: or seven thirty seven point five ms, which apparently, if
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: you know much about anything, that's like a size of
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: a giraffe, I saw this only Getness World Getness World
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: record best the comparison for her. Also, Walcott holds the
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: additional record for heaviest elephant bar deadlift for female after
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: lifting about pounds at the Arnold Sports Festival of March two.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: So she's breaking a lot of records. She just talked
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: about how she needed to make a change in our life.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: She said, when I looked in my kids eyes, I
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: wanted to make sure that I was there for them,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: so I had to start taking care of me. So yeah,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: that's how she began all of this. So breaking those
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: world records get it. Absolutely. Congratulations to everybody on this list.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Um now I'm thinking we gotta find a record we
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: could break, Santha. It would be something very obscure. Think.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: I think it's got to be something like you have
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: to do fans fiction reading for NonStop for a back
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: hours and then you would be up there. That would
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: be a holiday for me. We'll think on it. We'll
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: think on it. But in the meantime, if we've missed
• 7:53
