• 2:36
  Speaker 1: December twenty ninth For those that are interested in well,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: all right, So when I was talking Watch, I actually
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: was being very honest and just thinking about it. Because
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: we're gonna start with a Watch topic from one that
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: everybody's all too familiar. What then we're gonna talk about
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: the old road, because you know what happens with row license.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Here's the story. Oh, everybody comment on that. Why do
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: I use my phone for this? Because you think I'm
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: gona memory this stuff was detated it.
• 3:01
  Speaker 6: Oh, it doesn't matter.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: I have four capable people that are going to listen. Well,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: but Rolets make thirteen billion a year, has no shareholders,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: reports no earnings, and has been owned by a nonprofit
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: for decades, the most secret in empire and business. Most
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: people think Rolex is a company like any other, but
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: technically it's not a company all. It's a non profit
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: foundation and that changes everything about how it operates. The
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: story Rolex Hans wildsdor, founder of Rolex, and he actually
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: did this. It looks like Mark twenty second, what is it?
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Let's see what we got here, Hans. Let's see how
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: my eyes Yeah, March twenty second, eighteen eighty one. I
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: don't think any of us were born back then, is
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: when he was born July sixth, nineteen sixteen, German. Yeah,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: I guess I kind of figure out any like Hans,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: he's going to be German. But he actually founded Rolets
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: in nineteen oh five and built it from nothing. His
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: dream wasn't just to make luxury watch watches. It was
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: to create something that would outlive him. Well, definitely it has.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Let's continue the narrative. And his wife's died. He had
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: no children or heirs, so he made a decision no
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: billionaire would make today. He don't needed all his role
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: as shares to a foundation, a foundation that still owns
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: roletts to this day. That foundation is called the Hans
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Wulldorf Foundation. It's a mission keep Rolex private, independent and timeless.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: It doesn't answer shareholders on or Wall Street. It's it
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: only answers Wildorf's original vision. Because of that role, ETS
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: doesn't pay dividends, that rea in vast profit back in
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: the research design and charity. No investors, no quarterly reports,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: no pressure to cut costs, just an obsession with perfection.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: That's why rolesx moves differently than any other brand. No
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: flashy marketing, no trends. They let scarcity and craftsmanship drive
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: desire and watch it are the marketing. Even their factories
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: are built like fortresses. Few people have ever seen inside
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: of them. Every role else is made with military secrecy.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Well yeah, like that one was Dave military. Okay, the
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: military became part of the brand's power. The model is
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: pure genius. They don't need height to sell, they need
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: sell legacy. Robbert, you ever heard that word? I think
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: you probably are right. Control and trust. People wait years
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: just to be allowed to buy one. Relics is now
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: worth more than most public companies, but still acts like
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: a humble craftsmen workshop. No social media, no celebrity deals,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: just quiet dominance. Every Roless funds their foundation. That money
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: supports education, innovation, and charity, but the exact numbers are
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: never revealed because the foundation doesn't have to disclose anything.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: It's a businesses that never needed the chase growth, and
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: yet it became the ultimate symbol of success, all while
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: quietly doing what others claim stand for building something that lasts. Rolex,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: as I said, those shareholders, So here you go, missus
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: zi Ye Rolls story, Steve, take it from there. A
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Rolex Man, Rolex sub Mariner. That is the that's the
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: baby right there.
• 6:35
  Speaker 7: That's the watch that everybody in the military, you know,
• 6:40
  Speaker 7: wanted and a lot of guys frequently got. And you
• 6:46
  Speaker 7: know that's uh, it's it's the brand, right And like
• 6:51
  Speaker 7: you said, they don't they don't do the flashy advertisement.
• 6:54
  Speaker 7: They don't have to. The brand speaks for itself. The
• 6:59
  Speaker 7: quality is unmatched, and yeah, it's it's a fantastic watch.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: And all it does is tell time.
• 7:09
  Speaker 7: Doesn't do a million other things like you see some
• 7:12
  Speaker 7: of these quote unquote smart watches do. But just give
• 7:17
  Speaker 7: me a Rolex sub Mariner and I'm a happy camper.
• 7:21
  Speaker 7: That and Omega Planet Ocean. That's for a different story
• 7:26
  Speaker 7: another time. I was a kid to run about the
• 7:29
  Speaker 7: spot shopping.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: Well, Scott, again, you educate me bringing me on this show,
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: because I was not familiar.
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: With the Rolex I was.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: I was familiar with Rolex watches, I was not familiar
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: with the Rolex story and the configuration of the of
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: the business entity that being a nonprofit and I just
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: think this is fascinating, and you know it's.
• 7:54
  Speaker 6: No Han and his wife had it you know, you
• 7:58
  Speaker 6: know it was you're feeling, you know, and what I.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: Think what's even more amazing is they deliver such a
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: high quality product of what he is saying, making.
• 8:08
  Speaker 6: All this money for all for what it's you know,
• 8:11
  Speaker 6: charging these prices.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: And then you know, I was I was doing some
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: quick research, you know, and you know, the foundation has
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: two main roles to own and protect for Alex, which
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: I think it's doing based on your story, and then
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: it's charitable causes, and you know, the foundation is a
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: Swiss charitable organization. Profits are received from a lex and
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: they're you know, they're just they're they're used very quietly.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: I mean, to be quite honest with you, I'm not
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: really a watch gun, so I can't really. Yeah, it might,
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: you know, it's it's funny. My father in law had
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: has a role lex so and he got that a
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: handful of years ago, so you know, it was cool
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: to see and stuff. I just I've never been a
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: watch guy. My dad was a watch guy. I just
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: I don't know, never did it. I just think the
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: fact that he does keep his voice aside to turn
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: this business that is basically you know, a megabrand in
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: the sense that it's you know, you can do what
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: it does, and it all goes to philanthrophic.
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: It all goes to help, you know, help those less fortunate.
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: So kudos to them.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: That sounds like Jim says in the chat, in that case,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: they should cost less. Hold your breath. But I understand
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: a lot, you know, James, You're right, a lot of
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: people like that one of those bad things. I heard
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: that the presidential one is pretty good too, for what
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: I understand. So all right, Rob take it from there.
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean, that's that's a story. I didn't know
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: about it. I didn't know it was a nonprofit uh organization,
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: But if you look at it from a business perspective,
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: that was genius, you know, the way they did that.
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: You know, I hadn't thought about it, you know, especially
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: with a company like Rolex. I would think that they
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: would have this big old board of directors, you know,
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: and they're doing all this advertising whatnot. But I mean,
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: that is pure genius how they did that, and they
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: got the brand. Not only did they get the branding together,
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: they made a quality product that nobody can really match
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: to this day. Not it was trash. If it was junk,
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: then people wouldn't even think about Rolex. But it's a
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: quality machine, it's a quality device, and to bring it
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: about as a nonprofit, it's crazy. I'm looking over here.
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: I did a little Google search while we were talking,
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: and it says that, you know, they did ten point
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: five billion dollars in annual revenue for which.
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: Guys, yeah, exactly, Yeah.
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: Come on now, that's genius. That's and and in the
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: Native Detroit that's straight pimping, that's what they did. Yeah, straight,
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: they did it, you know. And and kudos to Rolex.
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: I mean, I'm not knocking the brand. I'm not knocking
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: how they structured their business structure or anything like that.
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: I think that was a genius approach, you know, and
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: it worked well.
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: Rob.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Hey, let me ask you, Steve, we're breaking this guy
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: in the right way here. We start off with a
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Rolet only commanded.
• 11:09
  Speaker 7: And you and you went right up his own because
• 11:12
  Speaker 7: he helps business owners. So this one, being a business type,
• 11:17
  Speaker 7: you know, story to kick us off was getting them
• 11:22
  Speaker 7: right in, right into his wheelhouse right off.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: It's all right, Jim for a tractor comment. He kept
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: watching the show and you'll learn it. It's okay, no
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: big deal. So it's all good, Jim. I appreciate your
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: purchasiation in the chat room, and I hope you're subscribing
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: to us. And if you are, thank you. And if
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: you haven't yet, please do so. Canty, you have the
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: last word on it.
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah. By them registering as a Swiss charitable foundation, they
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: pay a lower tax rate. Uh, they don't have to
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: disclose their financials. They have seven thousand employees. Can you
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: imagine seven thousand employees for a charitable organization?
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: Genius?
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: Exactly, Yes, it is. They were founded back they were
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: based out of Geneva, Switzerland, but then they moved and
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: that they were founded in nineteen oh five in London
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: and then they were they eventually removed and bought out
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: and back and forth and stuff like that. They after
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: World War One, the company moved its base operations to
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: Geneva because of the unfavorable economy that led to business
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: and stability. But since nineteen sixty the company has been
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: owned by the Hans Willsdorf Foundation, a private family trust.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: All right, let's continue on here a lot more now
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: edge to pass on to everybody, Harris, So let's talk
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: about the top ten countries only man for twenty twenty six.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: You can't afford to roll legge. I'll that you can
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: afford to go here. We're going to go through the
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: order and we'll go from there. All right, we're gonna
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: talk about I'm gonna read through them all. Everybody can
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: comment rapid fire if you want to. But we're gonna
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: start off with Italy. I guess there's no shortage of
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Aposta there. I wouldn't think, okay, I mean, obviously I'll
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: find out next year. You got Italy, You got Canada,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, never mind, forget about my bloys. Oh I
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: got Canada there, But don't tell that to Donald Trump
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: because he'll say, no Canada, okay. And then you got
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Scotland named after me only with one t. Okay, that
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Scotland there. Then you have Iceland. Oh I love that place.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Canady and I have a field day out there. Then
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: when you go to Desk Nation Discoveries Meeting Network, you'll
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: see some great videos on that. Iceland's an awesome place.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: We get there. You go out there and do it.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: But we'll talk about places to live. You know, I
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: don't think you'll be doing flip flops. Won't beat the
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: dress code. Up in Iceland. Mark my work and if
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: you do, my goodness, New Zealand is up there one
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: of the places to live. We got Switzerland. Norway another
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: one of those great places that will be going to
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: next year. And what else have you got there? You
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: go there, you have it, Steve, which one makes the
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: most sense to you?
• 14:10
  Speaker 7: Well, I mean the home nation would be Italy, that's
• 14:15
  Speaker 7: where you know some of the family was from.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: But at the same time, you know me, I'm all
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: about going to Norway. I'm ready to move to Norway.
• 14:25
  Speaker 7: I want to live up there in the Northern Lights,
• 14:29
  Speaker 7: go to Iceland on occasion with you on a cruise.
• 14:33
  Speaker 7: But yeah, one of the places, on a serious note,
• 14:38
  Speaker 7: one of the places that I really wanted to always
• 14:42
  Speaker 7: visit was New Zealand. And for any of you folks
• 14:46
  Speaker 7: that are big fans of you know, returned to the King,
• 14:51
  Speaker 7: Fellowship of the Ring and all that that was all
• 14:54
  Speaker 7: filmed there in New Zealand. That is such a beautiful place.
• 15:00
  Speaker 7: I got some friends from down there, and I got
• 15:05
  Speaker 7: I got me a Rugby shirt from there, so I'm
• 15:11
  Speaker 7: pretty happy about that. But I definitely wanted to always
• 15:14
  Speaker 7: visit there. Yeah, and some of the other places are
• 15:19
  Speaker 7: all intriguing, but I don't know what it is.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: Man, no way still holding it for me.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: See now that now that we had the the fearsome
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: force of Steve, Robin Scott and Candy, those possibilities are
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: definitely inevitable for sure. So I mean, Steve is a
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: big part of this show. And also when you're part
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: of this show, you're getting invited to the Destination Discoveries
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Media Network, which he participated when we were in Nables.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: Go ahead, Eddie, Yeah, I think they're all great countries
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: all they'd all be fun places.
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: I guess if I had to choose, I deal with
• 15:59
  Speaker 6: Steve Eva. I agree with Steve more ways up there.
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: I think you said Iceland, and I think I'd throw
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: Scotland in there because there are some kind of similar
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: to what Steve was saying referring to about Italy. There
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: is a lot of there's potential family connections in Scotland
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: for me being a mix m AC versus MC, so.
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: That would be good.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: But you know, as I get older and stuff like that,
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: to me, it'd be nice just to kind of.
• 16:26
  Speaker 6: Check out all the all the other places, even you know,
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: go down to New Zealand.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: I actually have some friends of ours that were on
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: another channel, the other channel I was on prior to
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: be with Scott that we're down in New Zealand area,
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: so even go down there in Australia and so on.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: So you know, just making sure my bucket list gets
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: filled before you know that clock runs.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Out when you come on. This show gets expensive since
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: they talk travel.
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: So it's okay, exactly exactly, but it.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: Would be okay, and I don't apologize that it gets expensive,
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: so be it. But but don't go out there and
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: give me a hard time. Any videos that are off
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: the chart, so it is when it's all right, Rob,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: any of those appeal to you in your other half.
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: Well, I've visited two of the countries, Italy, Canada, of course,
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: you know because right in de Trader's right next to it.
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: I always want to check out New Zealand and Switzerland.
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: The Swiss they have like everything is free to the
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: Swiss citizens that are there, you know, education, healthcare. Uh,
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: their tax base is crazy, ridiculously high because they make
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: a lot of money over there as the citizens that
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: are there. But it's pretty difficult to become a citizen
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: of Switzerland. So I would like to visit there, also
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: New Zealand. I like to visit.
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: Can well, knowing that I have been to some of these,
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: I really want to go back to nor I mean,
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: we're going back to Norway because we want to go
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: back to Norway. Ironically, when we're going, it's not going
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: to be when the northern lights are. It's gonna be
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: when it's almost all daylight. But Norway is beautiful and
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: honestly we saw the last time we did the cruise.
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: We saw what I would say is the west coast
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: of Norway, Whereas this time we're going to go see Oslo,
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: which is actually on the east side, and then the Tip,
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: and then we're going to go to some of these
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: other Denmark and Finland. So I'm I'm really excited to
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: see some of those places as well. I've always yeah,
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: Italy is still on the bucket list. It will it's
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: one of those places where we will go. Obviously the
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: Mediterranean like see like the cruise around there, knowing that
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: I've done Iceland and them, but Norway was beauty full.
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, go back there. In a heartbeat. I
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: wish I just had a little bit more money.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: All well, I won't say rob a bank because that's
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: not the right analogy for you, But I'll tell you
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: what I would want to do that. Oh my gosh,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: for all my bank the thought of it. If you
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: go ahead and rob a bank and then I can
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: see any of these The only thing you need to
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: get in their bank is go to the outer banks
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: out in North Carolina. That's okay, you can get away
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: with that, all right, Well, you know what, move to
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: talk soccer. I don't tell you what I'm really in
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: the move to get political, and I'll tell you why
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna get political. Oh my gosh, but that's the
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: right fit for this show. Russia plants a hold an
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: alternative World Cup were non qualifying nations? How about that,
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: Russian boy is, if they don't have enough trouble with Ukraine,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: let's just hold an alternative World Cup because you're not
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: good enough to be in the bag show anyways. The
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: nations that are invited were Italy, China, Serbia. Of course
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: you depect North Korea be in there. They'll let you
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: out anyways, India, Nigeria, Chili, Cameroon, Greece, Peru and Indonesia.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: What your thoughts about this one, Steve.
• 20:09
  Speaker 7: Yeah, try to convince uh people from in those other
• 20:14
  Speaker 7: countries to go to Russia right now and and sit
• 20:18
  Speaker 7: in a sixty thousand seat soccer stadium with Ukrainian drones
• 20:22
  Speaker 7: flying all over the place.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: I don't think that's gonna fly, you know.
• 20:29
  Speaker 7: And you know I'm not a big fan of the
• 20:32
  Speaker 7: Russians anyway right now, So now I just don't think
• 20:36
  Speaker 7: that that's gonna be very successful about any I.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: Don't think there's enough money that they could go out
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: to those squads. And also you'd want to you know,
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: if I was, if I was those countries, I'd want
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: to pay an advanced type thing. You know, I need
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: to check me to clear the old bank account before
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: I'm doing that. But these points, right, I mean rushes too.
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: I mean the Ukraine are starting to give or giving
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: it to the Russians with.
• 21:05
  Speaker 6: I don't think anybody wants to go there and play
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: football soccer TV.
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, a great concept. Bad timing, you know, Yeah, you
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: don't offer you know, the kind of event like that
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: for you know, a situation when you're at war. I mean,
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: come on, it's just somebody was a genius to think
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: of the idea. But they did it in the wrong time.
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: You know, if this Ukraine situation was all out over
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: with and whatnot, and there were no other wars going on,
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: then maybe there might be a slight chance. But I'm
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: like it, you gotta pay in advance, you know, before
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: they come, because the risk and the liability is going
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: to be so high, because the tensions are going to
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: be so high.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: Well, the old thing, there's perception and there's reality, absolutely,
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: and we know the reality. Candy is the last word.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: We have a lot more to go on the MotorCity
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: man Mouth Show. My name is Scott Morgan Roff. Please
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: be joined by Steve BALLISTI and McAndrew Robert F mccandy away.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: If you've missed a part of the show, no big
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: deal this describe to the YouTube channel our YouTube channel
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: and watch it again and again and again and again,
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: and then if you get sick and tired, then watch
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: another one again and again and again. And I saw
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: like a broken record, probably again and again again. You
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: said you got to.
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: Throw Timing is everything, and yeah, wrong time for that
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: to try and even think of doing that. So I'm
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: gonna leave it at that. Because everybody's talked about.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: We're good, Scott, We're good.
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: No.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: Back in Detroit, Rob knows this there, Rob, you remember
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: back in Detroit they used to have a super market
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: called Great Scott.
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, well.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Good that was named after me. Just see, no way
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: before that time, all right, just like Scottsdale was Scott
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: Calls and all that. So any of the damn things anyway, Right,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: Let's say in the Florida soccer since I persed your
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: attention about something that was actually a pretty good story,
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: Lauren Ballagon represented England at the youth level and decided
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: to play for a team USA. Well at least he
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: knows where the origination is of how Independence Day took place.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: But that's a pretty good story of those teams.
• 23:21
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I was not aware of this, so that's a
• 23:25
  Speaker 7: new one on me. But you know, it's it's it's
• 23:30
  Speaker 7: always a touchy subject with a lot of places where
• 23:34
  Speaker 7: you grew up in one place and then you play
• 23:36
  Speaker 7: for another. I know, you know, people in the United
• 23:40
  Speaker 7: States were really upset that some of our athletes who
• 23:45
  Speaker 7: were naturalized citizens decided to go play someplace else.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: You know. I know there was a girl that wanted.
• 23:53
  Speaker 7: To play for China and that didn't go over too well,
• 23:56
  Speaker 7: and that's always a touchy subject. But you know what,
• 24:00
  Speaker 7: you got to do what's right for you. And if
• 24:04
  Speaker 7: that's what he really wants to do, who are.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: We to argue exactly? All right? Eddie?
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: You Steve, you know, Steve had on it. You've got
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: to do what's right for you. And it's playing you know,
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: if playing in if you're playing for the US, but
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: your nationality, you know, you have nationality somewhere else and
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: that's where you feel your heart strings douggling you. You
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: got to do that and vice versa. What he was doing,
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: you know what, he grew up in England, right, and
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: then he played for.
• 24:32
  Speaker 6: Play here in the US.
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: So, you know, I think I think this sits on
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: a bigger, bigger issue in society where we just have
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: to let people if it's not hurting anybody.
• 24:43
  Speaker 6: We need to let people do what makes them happy.
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: And just let be instead of you know, giving you know,
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: people the run around for doing something that we may
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: or may not like.
• 24:56
  Speaker 8: Ron.
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: Hey, I I concur with steven Ed and I'll interject this,
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: you know, just for controversy and topic discussion. I will say,
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: maybe it's because of the money. Maybe they got offered
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: money for somewhere else to go and play.
• 25:13
  Speaker 6: That's a great point because we always talk about that. It's,
• 25:16
  Speaker 6: you know, a lot of the money.
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: It is if you if you look at you know,
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: inside the pigskin or sports rap. When these things come
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: down at the end of the day, it's about the
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: money really, if we really think about it. I said
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: it was hard, but I think it's heart and money.
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: So that's a great point, Robert, thank you for bringing
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: that up. I don't even think it's controversial. I think
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: it's just saying what everybody thinking out loud, all right, Candy.
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: So a player qualifies for a national team if they
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: meet at least one of the criteria. They were born
• 25:47
  Speaker 5: in the country, at least one biological parent or grandparent
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: was born there, they have lived continuously in the country
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: for a set number of years. They must hold the
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: legal nationality passport of that nation, and once a player
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: competes in an official, official FIFA tournament match for a
• 26:07
  Speaker 5: senior national team, they are permanently tied to that country,
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: with very limited exceptions. So they have I mean, it's
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: not like they can just pick whatever country they want to.
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: They have to have a genuine link to that to
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: the country. And you know what, who were we to
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: say and pick and choose for them? You know, if
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: they had a parent that was born someplace and they
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: want to play for that, it's within the rules.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: Let them, okay, all right, well very good, they should
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: all right, Well, let's go ahead, let's get whacky around.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: Hasn't seen the whacky stuff.
• 26:44
  Speaker 6: We haven't gotten whacky yet. I thought we just got.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: Broke you in the right way. But I'll tell you what.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: We had to make sure of some easy stuff. But
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: now it gets crazy. Of course, I'll never go to
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: live this away. But the reality is, okay, we have
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: one hundred This one hundred two year old man drove
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: the same car force seventy seven years until he died
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: in two thousand and five. That's what a nineteen twenty
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: eight Rolls Royce. And that man is m Alan Swift
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: of Connecticut received a nineteen twenty eight Rolls Royce phantom
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: is a graduation gift from his father, and drove it
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: seventy seven years until he died in two thousand and
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: five at the age.
• 27:29
  Speaker 8: Of one two Steed, Wow, you think he got the
• 27:35
  Speaker 8: money's worth out of that car. Yeah, thank that's absolutely awesome.
• 27:43
  Speaker 7: I think that has to be a record, right, you
• 27:46
  Speaker 7: own the same car for seventy seven years. I mean,
• 27:51
  Speaker 7: you know, these days, you're lucky if you get seventeen
• 27:54
  Speaker 7: years out of a car, never mind seventy seven.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: And but you know then again, Rolls Royce.
• 28:00
  Speaker 7: They're all like Rolex right, they're all handmade and they're
• 28:07
  Speaker 7: built to last. I wonder what his family did with
• 28:13
  Speaker 7: that nineteen twenty eight roll.
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: Hopefully they didn't sell it. Hopefully they can't.
• 28:20
  Speaker 6: We're putting it in a museum.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I said too. Yeah, pretty well, I'll tell
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: you see what do you think about that? Pretty wild?
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: So that's what we.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: I love that story.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we come up. This is the stuff we come
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: up with, Ron. That's why I'll tell you what. We
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: don't expect you to be like my old women in
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: the past, being one and done, we've effected to come
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: more often. I mean, I thank god I have one
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: that's I sold me with the other ones who got
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: the hell out of here, so that I have this
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: girl here? Can you hear me, Ron? Well, I guess
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: his headphones just went out, all right, can you hear
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: me now?
• 28:55
  Speaker 5: No, he's having the shoes. He's trying to find it
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: figured it out.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: I will go ahead.
• 29:01
  Speaker 6: I think it's amazing. It's a Rolls Voice last in
• 29:04
  Speaker 6: seventy seven years.
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: You know, if it was any other car but that,
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: I would have some doubt that it was a true story.
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: But you know Steve saying, Rolls voices are all, you know,
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: are all handmade and.
• 29:17
  Speaker 6: Made the specifications supposedly, and and somebody, somebody obviously took
• 29:22
  Speaker 6: great care of their car. You know, they did the.
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: Real changes, they did the tune ups, and.
• 29:28
  Speaker 6: God bless them for being able to drive it that long.
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's a that's a great human interest story, Scott,
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: you know, to share what people saying. And hopefully that
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: car ends up in the museum somewhere for people to see.
• 29:41
  Speaker 6: And it lasted seventy seven.
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: Years and it was driven to the man's death. I
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: think that's a beautiful story.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that that that car should actually end up in
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: the smithsodium is what I think. Prom can you hear me?
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: You're gonna have to tell him to check back in.
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: I don't know, Candy, you might want to log back
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: out and come back in, Robert like you did. Before,
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: since you were having issues before.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: A message. Yeah, yeah, we have to keep it rolling.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: But we'll do what we're gonna, don't.
• 30:18
  Speaker 5: I definitely have to hear me.
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: Yes aheadkay, since you guys can hear me. I'm gonna
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: say what I'm gonna say about this this guy because
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: I didn't hear any of the comments, and I'm gonna
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: drop off and come back. I mean, to have a
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: Rolls Royce for seventy seven years, come on, now, this
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: guy has to have had like how many Rolls Roycees
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: did he have to have like in a stockpile to
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: you know, to repair that vehicle over all that time.
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: This guy to have a Rolls Royce means that he
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: had to have a lot of money or you know,
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: a great sum of money, you know, and maybe he
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: was maybe a parts distributor or something like that, you know,
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: to help him to keep a car that long. Because
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: there's no other car that I know of today that
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: can last past fifteen years or twenty years without like
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: a major overhaul you know, every few years now, you know,
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: and if you if you fast forward to today's cars,
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: you're looking at five years before you have to trash
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: the car. You know, because it's it's it's gonna require
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: engine replacement and all that kind of stuff. So kudos
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: to this guy for driving the same car for seventy
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: seven years. I mean, that has that's that's a wonderful
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: kind deal. And Rolls Royce should have him, you know,
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: on a plaque somewhere in their design studios and whatnot
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: saying hey, you know, our cars last you know, decades,
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: you know, over everybody else. So that would be a
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: great marketing ploy or campaign for Rose Royce. So I'm
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: gonna drop off and come right back because I can't
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: hear anything you guys are saying.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: Okay, no problem, all right, Candy, go ahead.
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: Okay, hold on, give me. I'm gonna what I wanted
• 32:03
  Speaker 5: to quick do is you.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: Don't have to research everything, Okay, but go ahead.
• 32:10
  Speaker 5: Give me a second here so I can show everybody
• 32:14
  Speaker 5: I know what you're.
• 32:15
  Speaker 6: Doing, because I think I just found what you're going
• 32:18
  Speaker 6: to do.
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: So I want to share that. That's a picture of it. Okay,
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: from that, let me go back here. So the car
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: was a nineteen twenty eight Rolls Royce Phantom one Piccadilly Roadster.
• 32:36
  Speaker 5: It was given to Swift by his father as a
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: college graduation gift in nineteen twenty eight over one hundred
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: and seventy thousand miles driven mostly around Hartford and Springford Springfield,
• 32:52
  Speaker 5: and then in recognition he was on in nineteen ninety four,
• 32:57
  Speaker 5: he was honored by Rolls Royce with a special Spirit
• 33:01
  Speaker 5: Crystal Spirit of Ectus Ecstasy Award for the longest continuous
• 33:06
  Speaker 5: ownership and he left the car and one million dollar
• 33:11
  Speaker 5: endowment to the Springfield Museums. Upon his passing.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: Great stuff.
• 33:23
  Speaker 6: To Roberts Point Earl right after mine when.
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: He was saying it would be hard for a car
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: to last that long, and I just asked, I asked
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: one of my ais, it can a Rolls Royce last
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: seventy seven years? A Rolls Royce can absolutely last seventy
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: seven years or more. Many Rolls cars from the forties
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: and fifties are still on the road today and is
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: so forty nine and fifty year roles voices are seventy
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: five years old, and there are numerous examples that are
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: owned by collectors who still drive them regularly. So a
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: well maintained Rolls Royce is a car that can still
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: be and is by collector, So it's still amazing. But
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: it's just cool because the new modern car is never
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: that's never gonna happen. We're never gonna have a modern
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: car like the key is Sportage isn't gonna last seventy
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: seven years.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: That's very cool, great stuff. I won't tell you what
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: I had. One more little little tidbit, go ahead, Rose.
• 34:21
  Speaker 7: Royce Merlin engine is the sweetest sounding engine y ever here.
• 34:27
  Speaker 9: Uh.
• 34:27
  Speaker 7: That was in uh, the P fifty one Mustang from
• 34:31
  Speaker 7: World War Two. I was also in the super Reached Spitfire.
• 34:37
  Speaker 7: And if you've ever heard that engine, it just like
• 34:42
  Speaker 7: it's like sounds like honey going through your ears.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: That rolls. Royce Merlin.
• 34:48
  Speaker 7: They they knew what they were doing when they built
• 34:50
  Speaker 7: that baby.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: Okay, let's continue on some more wild stuff. By the way,
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: we have a guy that actually spent five months in
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: jail before because he no one told him that he
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: had availably two dollars two bucks. Spent five months in
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: jail because he has not one but two dollars a pail.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on that, Steven?
• 35:13
  Speaker 7: Uh, This guy probably is not going to invent rocket
• 35:17
  Speaker 7: fuel anytime.
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: Soon, but I mean, if he's in jail for five months.
• 35:23
  Speaker 7: Wouldn't somebody have told him of two bucks? Right, all
• 35:29
  Speaker 7: you need is two bucks to get out? I mean,
• 35:31
  Speaker 7: wouldn't somebody have told him that was members of his family?
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: Somebody, somebody talked to this guy.
• 35:38
  Speaker 7: And that's just absolutely amazing five months in prison. Maybe
• 35:44
  Speaker 7: he was doing it to stay off the street in
• 35:46
  Speaker 7: the winter time, I know, you never know.
• 35:50
  Speaker 10: Yeah, that is either one of two things. Either it's
• 35:56
  Speaker 10: Steve's theory or the theory is all his family and
• 36:00
  Speaker 10: wanted him in there for whatever reason.
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: They nobody wanted him around. They just wanted him away.
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: And and but don't you, I guess you have to
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: put yourself in his mind, don't you ask the questions, So,
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: what's my bail or where's my public defender? Or you know,
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: any of those things. So it's kind of funny. I
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: guess it's tough lesson learned there. Ask questions.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: Okay, Rob, you got two dollars to get you out
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: of jail.
• 36:29
  Speaker 5: I'm not sure he can still hear I don't think
• 36:32
  Speaker 5: he can hear you.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: All right, Well you got two dollars.
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: So my question is is this was this a savings tactic?
• 36:42
  Speaker 5: Because he didn't have to buy food he didn't have
• 36:44
  Speaker 5: to pay for you know, I mean I don't know
• 36:46
  Speaker 5: where he lived, like did he does he pay rent?
• 36:49
  Speaker 5: Does he have a mortgage or not? Like you never know?
• 36:52
  Speaker 5: I mean, you could live, you get your all meal,
• 36:55
  Speaker 5: all your meals, no electric, no water bills for how
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: many months? It's just sad. Two bucks. I mean, you
• 37:04
  Speaker 5: would think someone would have told him for two bucks
• 37:07
  Speaker 5: he could have gotten out.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: Unless he's one of them homeless guys. I wanted to
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: stay there for five months, all right, Rob, you with me.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I have to keep it rolling, keep going,
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: all right. Well, anyways, let's continue on and we go
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: from there. Hopefully he'll get it all figured out on
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: his end. He's the tech guy by the way. You know, Okay,
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: we got to see if we can get this technically straight.
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: As we continue on here here on the Motor City,
• 37:39

  Speaker 5: Oh now? All right?
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: Well, Candy, when he does get back down, you'll have
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: to convey an English what we just talked about. But meanwhile,
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: for those of you in a relationship, I wouldn't really
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: want to go through this one because this is about
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: as interesting as they get. I'm telling you, for those
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: of you close the marriage material, guess what you've ever
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: believe in dinosaurs? Because obviously this man breaks up with
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: his girlfriend because she doesn't believe in dinosaurs. A twenty
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: six year old man broke off a six months relationship
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: after finding out his girlfriend rejected EVO relationship. She the
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: Earth is only six thousand years old and dinosaurs never existed.
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: For him, the differences were just about science, but they
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: were about the future, especially raising kids. Well I guess
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: I don't know if they're raising dinosaurs. But anyways, rather than
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: force the earth to change, the shows to walk away.
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: Sometimes love isn't enough when the foundation is built on
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: different worlds and dinosaurs. All right, there you go take
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: it from.
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, where does she think all these fossils came from?
• 40:27
  Speaker 7: I mean, you know, I mean, look, uh, you know,
• 40:33
  Speaker 7: you can believe what you want, but there's there's fossils
• 40:37
  Speaker 7: out there. There's you know, they dig up bones all
• 40:39
  Speaker 7: the time. They even dug up like three quarters or
• 40:45
  Speaker 7: maybe even more of a wooly manmot that was completely
• 40:48
  Speaker 7: in case than ice, except for his head that had
• 40:52
  Speaker 7: worn down through the years. I mean, it's all right
• 40:55
  Speaker 7: there in front of you. I mean, I granted, a
• 40:57
  Speaker 7: wooly mammoth isn't a dinosaur. But at the same time,
• 41:02
  Speaker 7: you know, as they say, the proof is out there, Okay, Candy, Yeah.
• 41:10
  Speaker 5: I mean, let's face it, I can't imagine. I can't
• 41:14
  Speaker 5: imagine that. Go ahead, gotta ad for me.
• 41:19
  Speaker 6: I would basically say he did the right thing.
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: Walking away before, you know, And that's a fundamental belief difference,
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: And you know, it's it would depend on how adavant
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: she is. I mean, if she's like put her foot down,
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: I don't know. To see his point, the evidence is
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: irreputable because they're finding but you just have to go
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: downtown in DC to the any of the music, to
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: the Smithsonian and see the bones of the dinosaurs they've got.
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: Unless he thinks it's a conspiracy theory of something anyway, Yeah, personally,
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: I think you made the right choice. You don't want
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: to you don't want to have to deal with that
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: in a Canadian relationship.
• 42:08
  Speaker 6: That could be very difficult.
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: Robert, you back on, I'm back on.
• 42:13
  Speaker 4: What did I miss?
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: All right, we'll go ahead. You know what, Go ahead, Candy,
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: give him an overview of these last two topics. We
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: want to keep the show flowing, but I'm more to
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: get to go ahead, Candy.
• 42:22
  Speaker 5: Well, the first the first topic was there was a
• 42:25
  Speaker 5: guy that was in jail and he stayed in jail
• 42:29
  Speaker 5: for five months when his bail was set at two dollars,
• 42:34
  Speaker 5: So for two bucks, he could have gotten out of jail,
• 42:37
  Speaker 5: but he stayed in there for five months. That was
• 42:40
  Speaker 5: the first topic. So coming on that.
• 42:44
  Speaker 4: Was he homeless he needed a place to stay? Was
• 42:48
  Speaker 4: that the reason why?
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: We don't know? That would redy the first thing that
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: most people would think about. But that's a good question,
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 42:58
  Speaker 4: Two bucks, I mean, yeah, I would think that he
• 43:02
  Speaker 4: was homeless or something, because he could have easily got
• 43:05
  Speaker 4: somebody to get give him two bucks. He could have
• 43:07
  Speaker 4: got people to throw quarters over the fence at the
• 43:09
  Speaker 4: jail to get two bucks, you know kind of thing. Yeah,
• 43:13
  Speaker 4: I would think that he was doing that on purpose
• 43:15
  Speaker 4: so that he can have a three meals in a cot,
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: you know, for his his survive on livelihood. What's the
• 43:22
  Speaker 4: other topic?
• 43:24
  Speaker 5: The other topic was about a guy broke up with
• 43:29
  Speaker 5: his girlfriend because she didn't believe in evolution, because she
• 43:32
  Speaker 5: didn't like she didn't believe in dinosaurs and evolution.
• 43:35
  Speaker 4: What was he smoking? Come on out, That's not a
• 43:41
  Speaker 4: reason to break up with somebody going on? Now, infidelity, yeah,
• 43:45
  Speaker 4: could I could get that, but over something like this
• 43:47
  Speaker 4: go on. Yeah, there's just something else going on there
• 43:51
  Speaker 4: that that's not the real reason. I don't believe. I
• 43:54
  Speaker 4: think that's the excuse, not the reason.
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: See, he's getting the hang of the sh now, isn't
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: he Steve.
• 44:01
  Speaker 10: R.
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: Yes, he is.
• 44:03
  Speaker 7: And that's now you get it. I Mean, it's crazy
• 44:06
  Speaker 7: like the stuff that we talk about here. I mean
• 44:09
  Speaker 7: we go from a guy that owned the Rolls Royce
• 44:11
  Speaker 7: for seventy seven years to a guy that spent five
• 44:14
  Speaker 7: months in prison for two bucks exactly exactly, talk.
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: About like opposite ends of the spectrum.
• 44:23
  Speaker 4: Oh absolutely, I love it.
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: See I careful. Let me tell you some people. I
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: carefully construct these shows to make him this way, Rob,
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: that's what happens. Okay, once upon a time when I
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: was back to the alarm business, and I would definitely
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: know nothing about the term. I do this deliberately to
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: construct these masterpiece insane shouts. I candy some thoughts on
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: there before we make it eything crazier.
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: Than it is now.
• 44:47
  Speaker 5: I mean, that's a crazy reason to to break up
• 44:52
  Speaker 5: with someone. But there's probably a lot more to the
• 44:56
  Speaker 5: story that you know. This is just like a tip
• 44:58
  Speaker 5: of the iceberg, Like this is just one little thing
• 45:02
  Speaker 5: that like tipped it over, and but you never know.
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I was looking at the picture. This
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: is a picture of some Oriental people. So maybe there
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: is more to the story than I think that they are.
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know if Americans will do that. I have
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: no idea. I'm not putting my politics out there partiality,
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: but these are Orientals, and I don't know if they
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: believe in the dinosaurs anyway. But I can tell you
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: one person you'll hear it from. Paul Harvey, will tell
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: you the rest of the story. That's right, Paul Harvey.
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: On Miss Paul Harvey. He was unbelievable in my days
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: and w x y Z. Oh yeah, when I first
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: got my business, Robin, I was about w x y
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: Z and Detroit. I worked with radio and we used
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: to have Paul Harvey come on rape before us. He'd
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: be at the top of that of Paul Harvey will
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: tell you the rest of the story. But you know what, Paul,
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you something you never told anybody before.
• 45:51
  Speaker 4: Paul.
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: So if you're looking up down me, so okay, what
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: you got up her bag? A trick motor mobi o't
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: tay when I got my bag of tricks? Because we
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: have city built in the most impossible Okay, oh my god,
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: where are we going? Let's see if I can get
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: this out right here. We got La read Honata, Peru.
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: It's built sixteen seven hundred feet above sea level. People.
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: This mining city survives in freezing oxygen poor conditions. They
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: have venice Italy. Okay, well, at least this one I
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: can pronounce anyway. Constructed on wooden foundations above the lagoon.
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: Venice constantly bantles rising water levels. Okay, oh, how the
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: boats work out. We've got long year bion saval Bar
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: Norway people. Yeah, we gotta have a Norway reference. Located
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: inside the Arctic Circle. This town endures months of darkness
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: and extreme cold. Of course, a lot of rich people,
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: whichh it was gold, but oh it's cold up in Norroy.
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: We got a Ogishima, Japan and all. This is my
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: first run pronouncing these names. The isolated which exists inside
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: the crater of an active volcanic island and Pacific. We
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: have setinel data dass Bodigas Spain. Okay, we got entire
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: neighborhoods are built directly beneath massive, overhanging rock formations. But
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: here's another fun name. I'll just tell you this is
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: good to play the name game when you have to
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: really keep your mind tested. You got Mona Monam the Sea, Greece.
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: This medieval city is hidden on a rocky island connected
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: to the mainland by one narrow bridge. Oh. If that
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: wasn't good enough on my pronunciation, it gets another one here.
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: We got Chef Chad Chain, Morocco, built across steep echoes
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: of the deep. So I had steep mountain floats, His
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: iconic Blue Street climb dramatically through the Rif Mountains. Okay,
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: I been to Bolivia.
• 48:00
  Speaker 7: And let me tell you the some of the cities
• 48:04
  Speaker 7: up there, well, I mean the capital of Bolivia is
• 48:07
  Speaker 7: at twelve five hundred feet the the uh the airport
• 48:14
  Speaker 7: in La Pause is that almost fourteen thousand feet and
• 48:19
  Speaker 7: uh so it's like you don't have to when they
• 48:22
  Speaker 7: say we're descending for our landing, you don't descend very long.
• 48:27
  Speaker 7: I did, like some of the old cities you know
• 48:30
  Speaker 7: that are are built up there. I mean, the air
• 48:34
  Speaker 7: is so thin up there it defies description. However, I
• 48:39
  Speaker 7: mean that's it's all you know, what you what you're
• 48:44
  Speaker 7: used to and how you know you live and been
• 48:48
  Speaker 7: to Morocco too, and uh yeah, Morocco is.
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: It's different, you know.
• 48:55
  Speaker 7: And but you know Bolivia, Peru, that place in Peru
• 48:59
  Speaker 7: at sixteen thousand, five hundred yep, it's and like those
• 49:05
  Speaker 7: areas they were there were huge cities back you know,
• 49:11
  Speaker 7: pre Columbian you know times pre Spanish arriving, and there
• 49:17
  Speaker 7: was fast cities up there. The Valley of the Sun
• 49:21
  Speaker 7: on the Lake Teddy Coker, which is like, you know,
• 49:24
  Speaker 7: fourteen thousand, five hundred feet there was a huge city,
• 49:27
  Speaker 7: So it's crazy.
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: So what do you think of an interesting group of cities?
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: Those stays. There's a pretty I had to work part
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: of my pronunciation that looks well.
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: A couple of them.
• 49:37
  Speaker 7: You lost me because I was like, I don't know
• 49:40
  Speaker 7: where that is, but yeah, you know, yeah, great list,
• 49:46
  Speaker 7: and you know, it is what it is. And people
• 49:50
  Speaker 7: will live anywhere. I mean, some people live in the
• 49:53
  Speaker 7: middle of the desert.
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: That's true.
• 49:56
  Speaker 4: Absolutely.
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I lived in Arizona, but ahead.
• 50:01
  Speaker 3: I think it's I haven't been to any of those cities,
• 50:04
  Speaker 3: but I know exactly how. A lot of the cities
• 50:07
  Speaker 3: in South America, Peru, Bolivia are our way above sea level.
• 50:12
  Speaker 3: I think it's the fact that people live in these environments.
• 50:15
  Speaker 3: It just shows how adaptable of the human body can
• 50:20
  Speaker 3: really be. I mean when you were talking, when you
• 50:22
  Speaker 3: said the Peru, it made me think immediately, are the
• 50:25
  Speaker 3: surpas that lead people up the mount edlis stuff? How
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: they they live at that climate for a year round
• 50:33
  Speaker 3: and they are not affected by the oxygen thin air,
• 50:38
  Speaker 3: just like the people who probably live in I mean,
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: before the five of us go to that city in
• 50:42
  Speaker 3: Peru at sixteen thousand feet, we're gonna be gasping for
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: air for a while.
• 50:47
  Speaker 6: We're gonna be We're gonna have a little bit of struggle.
• 50:49
  Speaker 6: We're gonna struggle, but people there are gonna live it
• 50:52
  Speaker 6: like it's anything else. I mean, just, I mean, if
• 50:54
  Speaker 6: we even just look.
• 50:55
  Speaker 3: Light here in the States, you know, if we look
• 50:57
  Speaker 3: at like that of Denver in the Mile High State
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: and some of the places around there. You know, teams
• 51:04
  Speaker 3: athletic teams, we would come in early when they're playing
• 51:06
  Speaker 3: in Colorado because of the need to adapt to the altitude.
• 51:12
  Speaker 3: But no, I think it's I just I think for me,
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: the takeaway is is just the resilience and the adaptability
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: of the of the human person.
• 51:20
  Speaker 6: And really, if you were there, we live, you have
• 51:24
  Speaker 6: to eventually up there.
• 51:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly exactly, but but you would be Yeah, we
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: would go up there and it would be hard. And
• 51:31
  Speaker 3: it's just like if you go to Arizona and the
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: heat is killing you. For if you live in Phoenix
• 51:35
  Speaker 3: and the hundred and said you can't stand. After a while,
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: you get used to one hundred and ten. It's not
• 51:41
  Speaker 3: not always pleasurable, but you learn to cope and deal
• 51:44
  Speaker 3: with it.
• 51:45
  Speaker 4: Mm hmm, you're ron, Well, I'm gonna throw throw a
• 51:50
  Speaker 4: little spice into this this topic, just just just for kudos. Well,
• 51:56
  Speaker 4: maybe it's because, you know, they're in these high altitude
• 51:58
  Speaker 4: places because they want to get away from people. You know,
• 52:02
  Speaker 4: Husbands don't want to be around their wives. Wives don't
• 52:04
  Speaker 4: want to be around their husbands.
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 52:05
  Speaker 4: Hey, And even in most religions, you know, when they
• 52:08
  Speaker 4: go to pray, they go to the mountaintops, you know
• 52:10
  Speaker 4: kind of thing, and so you know, it's a way
• 52:15
  Speaker 4: of getting away, you know. And it also shows like
• 52:17
  Speaker 4: it's that you know and Steve were saying, it shows
• 52:20
  Speaker 4: the resilience of the humans, of our bodies and what
• 52:24
  Speaker 4: we can endure. Maybe it's a test to show what
• 52:26
  Speaker 4: is the range of human existence and you know, what
• 52:29
  Speaker 4: can we tolerate, you know, as a species kind of thing.
• 52:32
  Speaker 4: I don't know, but it sounds like, you know, these
• 52:36
  Speaker 4: these high altitude places, well, one main thing that you
• 52:39
  Speaker 4: don't have to worry about is you know, mosquitos and
• 52:41
  Speaker 4: bugs because they're not gonna be up that high. You know,
• 52:43
  Speaker 4: you don't have to worry about pressure. They're not gonna
• 52:47
  Speaker 4: be up that high. No predators, you know, no lions
• 52:49
  Speaker 4: and tigers and all that kind of stuff. They're not
• 52:51
  Speaker 4: going to be there, you know. So it has its
• 52:54
  Speaker 4: advantages when you want to have peace and solitude. So
• 52:56
  Speaker 4: I get it why people want to be there. But
• 53:00
  Speaker 4: I love the tropics, so I'm gonna stay down here
• 53:03
  Speaker 4: near sea level, you know kind of thing. I may
• 53:05
  Speaker 4: go up to five or six thousand feet, but you know,
• 53:08
  Speaker 4: that's like where my threshold is.
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: That rob If you think with this topic, I was
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: looking to promote tourism, I don't think I did a
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: very good job in those places. If you don't like
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: these joints, all right, all right, kitty.
• 53:22
  Speaker 5: You know years ago I moved from Wisconsin down here
• 53:27
  Speaker 5: to Florida. They told me, but blood was gonna thin
• 53:31
  Speaker 5: and I would be, you know, comfortable. My blood has
• 53:36
  Speaker 5: not thinned. It is hot. I'm always hot. It's funny
• 53:41
  Speaker 5: I go to work, I'm always warm. I'm the first
• 53:44
  Speaker 5: one to complain that it's warm. They're like, now it's
• 53:46
  Speaker 5: cold in here. It's cold in here. So I can't imagine.
• 53:49
  Speaker 5: We've talked about things that have happened since COVID and
• 53:53
  Speaker 5: how people now that they're more used to their phones,
• 53:58
  Speaker 5: they're not used to They're used to being away from
• 54:00
  Speaker 5: people and not talking to people. You can go to
• 54:03
  Speaker 5: a restaurant these days and instead of people having a
• 54:06
  Speaker 5: conversation with the person in front of them, they're texting
• 54:10
  Speaker 5: the same person. And it's like, come on, so I
• 54:15
  Speaker 5: can see you know, sometimes people want to just be
• 54:17
  Speaker 5: away and away from all of the let's face it.
• 54:22
  Speaker 5: I was watching one of the news the last night
• 54:25
  Speaker 5: or the night before and they did a preview and
• 54:28
  Speaker 5: they what they said on their commercial was we end
• 54:32
  Speaker 5: every newscast with a positive story. Since when did we
• 54:36
  Speaker 5: have to do that?
• 54:37
  Speaker 3: Like?
• 54:37
  Speaker 5: How many we have so many negative stories that I
• 54:41
  Speaker 5: can understand some people just want to get away from
• 54:43
  Speaker 5: all of this hustle and bustle and go someplace more isolated.
• 54:49
  Speaker 4: We'll look I'm gonna I was gonna say. I'm a
• 54:52
  Speaker 4: person that I love to travel, and every place that
• 54:56
  Speaker 4: you've mentioned, you know, in today's episode, I would love
• 54:59
  Speaker 4: to visit every place that I haven't visited, I would
• 55:01
  Speaker 4: love to visit. I'm that that explorer part of my family.
• 55:05
  Speaker 4: I love seeing different places and going to different places.
• 55:08
  Speaker 4: Whether I would live there is another story. But to visit, yes,
• 55:12
  Speaker 4: every single place I would love to visit.
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: Okay, let's continue.
• 55:17
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry, I'm just gonna The last thing I was
• 55:20
  Speaker 4: gonna say is because you don't know a place unless
• 55:23
  Speaker 4: you go to it and see it for yourself. You know,
• 55:26
  Speaker 4: so experience it for yourself, and then you can form
• 55:28
  Speaker 4: your own opinion from your own experience and not rely
• 55:31
  Speaker 4: on somebody else's opinion.
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: Learned. I learned that early in the game, but I
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: appreciate you bringing it to those out there.
• 55:42
  Speaker 7: Well, when when I got to up in the Andies,
• 55:45
  Speaker 7: when I was at the you know, the embassy up there,
• 55:51
  Speaker 7: I noticed everyone carried a backpack and uh, they always
• 55:56
  Speaker 7: had like big thick sweaters in there.
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: And then I found out why.
• 56:00
  Speaker 7: Because you could be out in bright sun seventy five
• 56:04
  Speaker 7: to eighty degrees right, beautiful day, no humidity. Of course,
• 56:08
  Speaker 7: I'm in the momas is no humn, right, and then
• 56:13
  Speaker 7: if a little cloud goes over the sun, the temperature
• 56:17
  Speaker 7: drops twenty five degrees just like that, And then you
• 56:21
  Speaker 7: see everyone pull their sweater around in the backpack and
• 56:24
  Speaker 7: put it on. Then they just keep going about their business.
• 56:27
  Speaker 7: And then the sun comes back out right back.
• 56:31
  Speaker 4: Wow. See that's a tip. I didn't know, you know. Yeah,
• 56:38
  Speaker 4: the highest altitude I've been with what Reno, Nevada? That's it?
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: All right? Well, I hope that my doctor of millhead
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: Corey is not watching this one, because I'll say he's
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: gonna like this. Top it. That's sorry? All right? Well,
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: get this. A Dollar General worker was fired after consuming
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: a dollar sixty nine orange juice had the checkout counter
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: to avoid a diabetic shock incident. Talking to doubt, the employee,
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: Linda Adkins, had previously appruissioned to keep orangeuice that are
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: registered and manager of Sudden Blood and Sugar Drownt fort
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: A request was denied on store policy. Get real, people,
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: that's stupid. While working at the register, she experienced a
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: severe hypo. So good, thanks for correcting me on that one.
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: I've been too busy with these four names. I needed
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: somebody to build me on that one. I'm definitely not
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: a medical personally, work on me. I don't make a
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: living pronouncement this stuff, and my handwriting is worse for
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: those of you that look at topics and they don't.
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: On this show anyway, episode took a strange bottle of
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: orange juice from the store of stable as of condition,
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: paying for it immediately afterwards. Despite the emergency, the company
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: terminated her employment for violating its policy on consuming merchandise landing,
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: leading to a lawsuit that ended with a jury finding
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: Dollar General guilty of disability discrimination. Then actually ordered this
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: lady two hundred and seventy thousand, two hundred and seventy
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: seven thousand, five hundred and sixty five dollars good for
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: her for a dollars sixty nine things of orange juice. Unbelievable, Steve.
• 58:16
  Speaker 7: They should be ashamed of themselves. I mean, yeah, it
• 58:19
  Speaker 7: goes against company policy. What about having diabetic shock at
• 58:23
  Speaker 7: the that's a register, that's you know, come on, yeah,
• 58:30
  Speaker 7: I get there's rules for a reason, but there's also
• 58:33
  Speaker 7: reasons that rules sometimes have to be broken. And saving
• 58:38
  Speaker 7: your own life over that is I mean, come on,
• 58:42
  Speaker 7: that is absolutely ridiculous.
• 58:46
  Speaker 3: That orange So that orange juice cost two hundred and
• 58:50
  Speaker 3: seventy thousand dollars.
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: Seventy I'm sorry, Scott, two hundred seventy seven thousand, that's right,
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: short change, seven ground short chain.
• 59:03
  Speaker 4: It had golden diamond in.
• 59:05
  Speaker 10: It, exactly Jesus, you know, I mean everybody from that
• 59:10
  Speaker 10: store manager on.
• 59:13
  Speaker 6: She needs to be fired if they want't. That's in today,
• 59:18
  Speaker 6: in any day and age.
• 59:20
  Speaker 3: Somebody's in a medical crisis, you do what you need
• 59:23
  Speaker 3: to do to save them.
• 59:25
  Speaker 6: It's that's human life.
• 59:28
  Speaker 3: Is more important than a buck sixty nine or old
• 59:30
  Speaker 3: rules saying you can't consume stuff that you and if
• 59:34
  Speaker 3: you don't understand that and you have to put that
• 59:36
  Speaker 3: in a training document.
• 59:38
  Speaker 6: For your employees, then you do that.
• 59:40
  Speaker 3: But then you also think about if you have to
• 59:43
  Speaker 3: put that in a training document for your employees, what
• 59:45
  Speaker 3: level of employee are you actually bringing it?
• 59:48
  Speaker 6: For management?
• 59:48
  Speaker 3: I should say, I should say I'm talking about that
• 59:51
  Speaker 3: management level that that that is the kind of stuff
• 59:54
  Speaker 3: that just really fries my cheese because there is she
• 59:58
  Speaker 3: could have died, yeah, I mean going with hyperglycemic you
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 3: can die from that.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 6: It's you know, it shows the manager had no care for.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 3: The employee, which is just horrible because that's the manager's
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 3: responsibilities for the employee. And it's a dollar sixty nine
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 3: hours juice, and she paid and she was about that
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 3: she was not paid for it aver and across. Uh see,
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 3: now you got me all jacked up there, Scott, I'm
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 3: now all fired up, and you know we're hour into
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 3: the show.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 6: Thank you man, I'm done.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 4: Robert, Well, I mean that's a crazy case. I mean,
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 4: my wife is in HR and you know she would
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 4: have corrected this situation immediately. You know, she understands, you know,
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 4: when people have medical conditions. She's pro proactive in helping
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 4: those employees and uh to get the medical attention that
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 4: they need and the services that they need. But the manager, uh,
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 4: it sounds like the from the article that the store
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 4: or the company already knew that this person had a
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 4: medical condition, of pre existing medical condition, so that right
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 4: there was the red flag you know to management there
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 4: to make sure that they take care of this this employee,
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 4: you know, the conditions for this employee. And so they
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 4: violated their own protocol because she had to have mentioned that,
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 4: you know, she was diabetic and she needed the orange juice.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 4: And it sounds like she had done this before, and
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 4: this particular manager on this particular day probably didn't have
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 4: a good day going for himself for herself and decided
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 4: to take it out on this employee, which costs two
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 4: hundred and seventy seven thousand dollars. So I agree with
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 4: everybody on a panel here that you know, there should
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 4: be some people fired for that, you know, and their
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 4: employee handbook has to be updated to show, you know,
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 4: medical emergence sees take presidents over anything else, you know,
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 4: in a company, and that's not something that happened in
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 4: this particular situation. So yeah, that's how that's where I
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 4: stand on that.
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: Okay, Steve, as I understand you have to take off,
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: is that correct?
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Unfortunately something came up I have to run. I'm
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 7: very sorry. This has been a bit. Yeah, I'll talk
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 7: to you real soon though.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, it's okay, I appreciate it. You next we.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 6: See Steve.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, great to see everybody. Love you guys.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: We'll well, he'll learn about Abraham Lincoln another night. The
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: rest of us will anyway. So okay, who do we
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: have left?
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 5: That would be me?
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: Go ahead.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 5: As a manager that manages employees, you have to know
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 5: your employees. And I know there's a fine line in
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 5: today's day and age about learning about medical with your employees.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 5: What do they disclose to you? What do they not
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 5: disclose to you? But as a matter of life and death,
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 5: most employees are going to be upfront with you and say, hey,
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 5: I'm a diabetic or you know, and then you'll know.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 5: Now I get to a certain extent the employer not
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 5: wanting to And here's where I have a problem. Once
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 5: a diabetic goes into like a diabetic coma, as a manager,
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 5: I don't want to be touching the employee because I
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 5: don't know what kind of a medical emergency they're having,
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 5: and that's where you dial nine one one. But if
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 5: an employee knows their body, especially as a diabetic, they
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 5: know if they're going low, they feel off. And I've
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 5: talked to numerous people. I am not a diabetic. I
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 5: do you have family members and coworkers that are diabetic,
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 5: though I know enough I know how to test them
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 5: if they have their testing supplies there. But most of
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 5: them know and feel off. And you can kind of
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 5: start to tell that they're off. If they feel off
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 5: and they feel that they need the orange juice, because
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 5: that's the quickest way to get sugar into a diabetic
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 5: is through liquid sugar, then by all means, let them
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 5: do that, Like that's just ridiculous to say that they can't.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 5: I can understand not drinking it in front of customers
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 5: or whatnot. But to tell them that they can't have
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 5: it there next to them if they need it, that's
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 5: a little that's a little ridiculous.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: Okay, Well, we've got a few other topics want to
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: get to and then I'll go ahead and bring this
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: other one up when Steed comes on next week as well.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: But let's get to what. We have a TV news
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: anchor and a Philippine broad herd dog to work because
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: no one was home to look after him. Get the
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: people and Dubio Philippines ABS CBN reporter Melanie Severarino brought
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: her a young dog to work because no one was
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: home to take care of them. And let's continue on.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: During the live broadcast TV Patrol Southern min Denaio saw
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: a professional news anchor delivering the day's headlines, but just
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: but just below the desk or puppy was curled up
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: in the studio floor quietly sleeping on the broadcast. You
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: know what, I don't have to elaborate, but if if
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: you're in the pets, what are your thoughts of this one?
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 6: And love it?
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 3: I think dogs should be allowed in if your dog
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 3: is well trained and why and you know it's manageable because.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 6: There's some dogs that I have a little like.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 3: I would not bring it necessarily bring a Jack Russell
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 3: Terrier into an office, but if it's.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 6: Like a lab or, you know, some of these were
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 6: smaller dogs. I think it's great.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 3: I've worked, I've done consulting and traveled to many companies
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 3: throughout my career, and I've run many companies have allowed.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 6: Pets and dogs and stuff like that, and I think it's.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 3: I think they are and CAx too. Actually I worked
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 3: at I've worked for. It's more for a family owned business.
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 6: That had kept so wide range of pats.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 3: But I think they can provide a diversion to the
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 3: work and it can be a stressed media media mitigator
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 3: where it can kind of help with whatever the stress
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 3: of the workday is or now people will come in
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 3: and you know, it can also.
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 6: Promote, you know, you know, from what Candy was saying, you.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 3: Know, everybody's sitting at a table texting to the person
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 3: next to you can also promote somebody coming to your
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 3: office and having the conversation instead of sending you email
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 3: because they want to come to see the dog. You know,
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 3: it might not be for the right reason, But it
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 3: kind of promotes, you know, what we're trying to get out.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 6: And I think, firstly, I think the world needs much more.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 6: So let's less of this.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 3: And more of the communication. Because if we're losing the
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 3: art of communication, and it's been, it's dying rapidly. So
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 3: I'm all for dogs in the all dogs.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 4: In the office, ron dogs in the office. I'm for
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 4: it too. They have they have a therapeutic value being
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 4: in office. It changes the atmosphere of an office, especially
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 4: the dog is docile or playful, you know, it sets
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 4: the tone in an office. I've worked in several offices
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 4: where the owners uh had their dog or cat, you know,
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 4: uh in the office. I'm personally allergic to certain breeds
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 4: of cats, so it just just makes me sneeze. I
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 4: don't hate them, but uh and certain you know, really
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 4: furry dogs, you know, because of their shedding.
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: For But.
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 4: I do promote, you know, having a pet, especially you know,
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 4: you know, since they have service pets that are out there,
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 4: you know, for people who are have certain handicaps or
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 4: or whatnot. And it's a the way the world is
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 4: right now, how we're so mentally drained and so mentally
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 4: stressed out. You know, A dog can relieve a lot
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 4: of that stress, you know, just for being there. The
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 4: dog doesn't have to bark or say anything or do anything.
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 4: Just being there changes the tone and causes the people
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 4: to relax more, causes them to be less tense. And
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 4: I like that part about you know, the dogs that
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 4: were in the office when I worked in there. Some
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 4: people are really highly against it. Now I kind of
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 4: draw the line when when people bring their dogs to
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 4: the restaurants and set them at the table, you know,
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 4: with them. Some people are like that, But I kind
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 4: of don't want to eat my food next to somebody
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 4: that's the table with their dog, you know, I don't
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 4: like that part about it. But but other than that,
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 4: an office atmosphere whatnot. I think dogs are very therapeutic
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 4: and helpful in the industry. But many companies don't allow
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 4: any kind of pets, you know, to be brought into
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 4: the office. So it depends on the company's policy, you know,
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 4: how pet friendly they are. Uh and uh. If a
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 4: company says no, then you just don't bring it. Now,
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 4: in this case with this this news reporter, if they
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 4: had a policy that said no pets and she brought
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 4: the pet in, then she's she's going to be reprimanded
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 4: or fired or or disciplined, you know kind of thing.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 4: So it's up to the company to decide which direction
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 4: they would go with a with a pet. Personally, I
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 4: have pets, so I'm for.
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: That, Canty.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 5: I think a lot depends on the industry that you're in,
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 5: because if are you talking they're going to an office
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 5: or are they going to any let's say it's a
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 5: food preparation or a canning company or a plant like that,
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 5: I mean they're like there, there's just obviously some boundaries.
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 5: Is it a place that customers come in? So does
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 5: the dog have access? Is the dog well trained? Is
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 5: the dog on a leash all the time in the office.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 5: The other thing is something like rob like you were saying,
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 5: some people are allergic, so if you bring them into
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 5: the office, are there are other people around that are
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 5: very allergic? And when I say allergic, there are different
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 5: levels for different people, kind of like like people that
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 5: have like a peanut allergy, they can't be in the
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 5: air with them. So like you're on an airplane and
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 5: someone has a severe peanut allergy, they don't allow any
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 5: peanuts on that you know, so I can see yes
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 5: and no service animals are technically allowed, and I don't
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 5: think you could stop it. But we also sometimes have
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 5: to draw the line someplace some places too, So I
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 5: think it really depends on the industry.
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 1: Well, I think the whole idea is, you're talking about
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: pets in general, there's always that sensitive final line that
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: you have about what you're gonna do. In this particular case,
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: the atre felt like, you know, if you want to
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: leave them alone, you bring them there. And it doesn't
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: seem like the story has really gotten any positive or
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 1: negative backlash by any stretch. So it's pretty interesting.
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 4: Well, I heard, I heard a brief. I had a
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 4: conversation with a guy that has a a dog mobile
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 4: gym business, and he says, there's two types of dog owners.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 9: There's the the the the lover, the dog lover, and
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 9: then there's the the pet owner.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 4: So you have a dog lover, you have a pet owner.
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 4: The pet owners don't get into details and care about
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 4: their pets and and and give them the love and
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 4: attention that a dog lover does. A dog lover will
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 4: go to bats, get medical uh attention for their pets,
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 4: you know, and and feed them the finest foods and
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 4: take them to different places, getting them groomed all the
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 4: time and whatnot. So that's a that's a pet lover
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 4: or a dog lover, but a dog owner, you know,
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 4: just has a dog there for either security or just
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 4: you know, uh, mental stability and just relaxation kind of thing,
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 4: just for those kind of things, not taking it to
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 4: the extreme, because here in Florida we have some very
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 4: extreme pet owners here. You know, you go to any
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 4: given publics, you know, in this state, and you'll see
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 4: somebody with their pet, you know, in the grocery cart,
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 4: you know, inside of like a pet bed for like
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 4: a baby, you know thing, or they have their pet
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 4: on the baby in a baby stroller, you know, kind
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 4: of thing, all dialed up and whatnot. So those are
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 4: the pet lovers. So you got pet owners and you
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 4: got pet lovers. And so that's the distinction that I've noticed.
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: Is everybody spoken on this one, yes, sir, all right?
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: Their final topic of the night. Seven strange facts about
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: Abraham Lincoln. And let me tell you they are interesting
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: ones for sure. One, he really did keep things in
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: his hat. Lincoln often used his famous stovepipe hat as
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: a storage compartment stuff again with letters, important papers, and
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: even money. Get this. Steve's gonna get this one next
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: week too. He was a champion wrestler before becoming president.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: Lincoln was known in Illinois as an elite wrestler, reportedly
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: losing only one match out of about three hundred. Oh
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: my gosh, Steve's definitely gonna hear this one next week.
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: He also loved cats, maybe more than people. Now he
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: might kind of president okay. Lincoln was obsessed with cats.
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: He once fed a cat a formal dinner with a
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: gold fork and told the official, do you think I
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: would let the cat go hungry? His wife, Mary Todd Lincoln,
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: said cats were his favorite companions. Smart woman. Lincoln had
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: less than one year of formal schooling. He taught himself.
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: Taught himself nearly everything, including law, by borrowing books is
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: studying on his own. When he passed the bar, he
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: never attended a single law class. I couldn't get away
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: with that. In the insurance business to stiff down here
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: in Florida. He had a high pitched voice despite his
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: towering six foot four frame. Lincoln's voice was described as
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: surprisingly high and ready and then he also he once
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: gave his speech so funny that people fell off their chairs.
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: Lincoln had a wicked sense of humor and love storytelling.
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: Nothing roll of that. One observer wrote during one of
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: his humors, pieces of the crownd was laughing so hard
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: several people nearly fell off their seat. Definitely my kind
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: of president. He once offered elephants and seriously considered He
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: once got offered elephants and seriously considered it. After his election,
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: the King of Siam modern day Thailand sent Lincoln a
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: letter offering him a gift of elephants that helped populate
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: the forces of America. So there you have it. Abraham Lincoln,
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: the man of cats, the man of elephants. Go ahead, Eddie.
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 6: He was an amazing guy. Top of bomb, tall drink
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 6: of water.
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 3: I think the rest of the one I had heard
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 3: about before, there's now.
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 6: I went down in northern.
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 3: Virginia where there's a lot of historic stuff that's around
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 3: the I would near the Manassas Battlefields, so and a
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 3: lot of the southern southern up western Virginia area. But
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 3: the Civil War took place in we not I wouldn't
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 3: say we're history bops, but we like to go down
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 3: and tour that it's it's an inexpensive way too to
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 3: spend an afternoon on a Saturday to get a look
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 3: at historical stuff. And there's some stuff on you Braham Lincoln.
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 3: I just think he was he was he was unique individual.
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 3: You know, he was out of his time. He was
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 3: a progressive thinker, and you know what he did with
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 3: slavery and so on. And it doesn't surprise me that
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 3: he had some unique.
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 6: Quirks about him.
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 3: Because we all do, and that's kind of what makes
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 3: them even more interesting. And the fact that he put
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 3: I hope you know if he said if he really
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 3: didn't store stuff in his hat, I would have been
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 3: disappointed because that thing was so big. That's just that's
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 3: not that's not working smarter. That's that's not working smart
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 3: at all. You put stuff in that big end can
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 3: keep it up there. Yeah, And no, and being that tall,
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 3: you know, me being a you know, being on the
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 3: short side of tall, sometimes you have to have a
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 3: kind of.
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 6: A sense of humor about it. Because he was for
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 6: his time friend he was extremely tall and being and
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 6: so you know, I'm sure he had a.
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 3: Self somewhat of a self deprecating sense of humor as well,
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 3: which can get people laughing.
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 6: And so I so he would have been, you know, you'd.
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 3: Been a neat character to to have a conversation with.
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 3: You know, maybe someday when I when I.
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 6: Get up to heaven and I need hey. But that's
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 6: those are my thoughts there, Scott.
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 1: No, that's okay, and I like it. Great stuff, Rob,
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: what do you think.
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 4: It was actually a common practice for ment to store
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 4: items in their top hats back in that day. That's
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 4: a common thing. I knew about that, you know, even
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 4: before I knew about Lincoln, and I knew he was
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 4: a wrestler. I knew he was a funny guy, but
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 4: not to the degree that Scott just described.
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 1: Right, And.
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 4: It kind of makes sense. It's like it connected the
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 4: dots for me, because you would have to be especially
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 4: in that during that time, you know, in our country.
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 4: You know, it was a lot of a lot of
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 4: pulling in all kinds of different directions. And because he
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 4: was a people's president, you know, he was able to
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 4: really get down to the route of where issues were
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 4: because he was able to communicate with people from different
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 4: walks of life. Using comedy is one of the best
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 4: ways of finding out information and breaking the ice with
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 4: people and getting people to talk about their problems or
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 4: issues and their concerns. And so when a speaker or
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 4: a politician whatever is very funny, people listen and they
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 4: feel comfortable with sharing their issues and concerns, and people
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 4: use comedy. Comedy goes right along with tragedy, you know,
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 4: when you have when you have traumatic situations in your life,
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 4: in order for you not to go in saying, you
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 4: use comedy as a as a way out. You know,
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 4: all the major comedians of today, they all have tragic
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 4: stories that you know, brought them to a place where
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 4: they say, well, hey, I can let this consume me
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 4: or I can turn this into a money maker. And
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 4: so the popular comedians of of today from all walks
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 4: of life, you know, they do have tragic stories that
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 4: they turned into something funny. And that's the mark of
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 4: a of a to me, a genius mentality. So any
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 4: any person you know that can make anything funny, take
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 4: a situation and make it funny but still have the
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 4: seriousness behind it, to me, has a genius mindset. And
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 4: I really like that about the Abraham Lincoln.
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 1: Okay, Candy, you have the last word on it.
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 5: There's a couple of things. I mean, yeah, he was
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 5: very self taught. He was actually a president at first.
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 5: He was the first bearded US president, the first to
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 5: hold a patent, and the first to be an inaugural photograph.
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 5: The other thing is, and this is kind of sad,
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 5: but the bill to create as the US Secret Service
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 5: was on the President's desk the night of his assassination. Really,
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 5: so yeah, he was one of the ones that what
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 5: He signed the official legislation to create the US Secret
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 5: Service just hours before he was assassinated Atwards Theater theater.
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 1: And we'll get more involved with Abraham Lincoln Candy next week.
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 1: I don't give too many tests, but that's one thing
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 1: we're going to talk about. Steve is gonna have a
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 1: chance to comment on this as well next week.
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 5: So right, so you talked about him being a wrestler, right, Scott.
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 5: He competed in three hundred wrestling matches and only lost one,
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 5: turning him a spot on the National Wrestling Hall of Fame.
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 1: All right, Well that does it for this additional MotorCity
