- 1:04Speaker 3: about an hour and 20 minutes of insanity, a little longer.
- 1:07Speaker 3: We'll have up until a quarter to nine to get
- 1:10Speaker 3: everything done. So let's go out there and take it.
- 1:13Speaker 3: You know, we're going to take Steve home a little
- 1:15Speaker 3: bit here in the first segment. Why are we going
- 1:17Speaker 3: to do that? Because seven things you'll never see in
- 1:20Speaker 3: Boston again. Ready for this one, Steve? I've got to
- 1:24Speaker 3: make the man feel at home here. You're going to
- 1:27Speaker 3: have Scully, S-C-O-L-L-A-Y, square. Does that ring a bell?
- 1:31Speaker 2: Scully Square. That's what they say. That's where my mother
- 1:36Speaker 2: grew up. Oh, really? No kidding. Yeah, it's gone now. Yeah,
- 1:41Speaker 2: like I say, you can see it again. Okay, the
- 1:43Speaker 2: central artery. Central artery, yep. Traffic nightmare. Okay, good. That's
- 1:49Speaker 2: all right.
- 1:50Speaker 3: That's why we started with you on here, so we
- 1:51Speaker 3: can go ahead and get you going.
- 1:53Speaker 2: Got Wood Island. What's that? Wood Island.
- 1:57Speaker 4: Wow.
- 1:59Speaker 2: Does that ring a bell? Nope. No, Wood Island, well.
- 2:04Speaker 2: Running of the Bride. Oh, my God. Yeah. Total insanity. Oh,
- 2:13Speaker 2: my God.
- 2:14Speaker 5: We'll get into that as soon as you're done with
- 2:16Speaker 5: the list. I'll tell you about that.
- 2:18Speaker 3: Don't worry. The other couple will tell us about that.
- 2:20Speaker 3: We'll have you entertain. A shot and a beer at
- 2:26Speaker 3: Whiskey Priest?
- 2:28Speaker 2: Yes. All right. Yeah. My favorite place used to be
- 2:33Speaker 2: called The Rat in Boston. Okay. A 3 a.m. roast beef?
- 2:40Speaker 2: Is that what I'm talking about? Yep. And I like
- 2:43Speaker 2: this one. It's racing pony. Bill and Bob's Roast Beef.
- 2:47Speaker 5: When the bars let out 3 in the morning, it
- 2:50Speaker 5: was a fun place to be.
- 2:53Speaker 3: I like racing ponies. Now, you can get me to
- 2:55Speaker 3: go to that one.
- 2:56Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 2:57Speaker 3: And Boston keeps disappearing. All right, Steve. Take it away,
- 3:00Speaker 3: my friend.
- 3:01Speaker 5: Okay, the running of the brides, okay? They used to
- 3:04Speaker 5: have a store. I believe it was called Filene's, and
- 3:09Speaker 5: then they had Filene's Basement. And they would have, like,
- 3:14Speaker 5: this big sale for bridal gowns, right? And then all
- 3:22Speaker 5: the women in the metropolitan area of Boston who were
- 3:26Speaker 5: going to get married would line up at that door.
- 3:31Speaker 5: And when they would open the door, it was worse
- 3:34Speaker 5: than getting run over by the bulls in Spain. Because
- 3:38Speaker 5: those women, it was ruthless, my friend, ruthless. They'd always
- 3:44Speaker 5: have a video on the news about it. And I'm
- 3:48Speaker 5: telling you, it was chaos. But it was like one
- 3:54Speaker 5: of those things every year when they'd have it on there.
- 3:56Speaker 5: The running of the brides. Don't get in the way.
- 4:03Speaker 2: No, I'm not.
- 4:05Speaker 3: I already had a balance test today. I'm not going
- 4:07Speaker 3: to fall off because of that. I had to talk
- 4:10Speaker 3: to someone who had to do that stuff.
- 4:13Speaker 2: That's okay.
- 4:13Speaker 3: You think I need to get in the brideway so
- 4:15Speaker 3: I can get mowed down by the bride?
- 4:17Speaker 2: No, you don't need that. I'm sure Candy can find
- 4:20Speaker 2: a video of that.
- 4:22Speaker 6: I've heard of that play. I mean, I've heard of that.
- 4:25Speaker 6: That's very famous.
- 4:28Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
- 4:29Speaker 5: I remember that from when I was a little kid.
- 4:33Speaker 5: Because every year they'd have it on the news, you know,
- 4:38Speaker 5: and they'd show all these women just like, I mean,
- 4:42Speaker 5: I'm talking bloodthirsty. It was like MMA, you know, UFC fight.
- 4:48Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
- 4:49Speaker 4: Bridezilla's are real.
- 4:50Speaker 2: Yes, they are.
- 4:51Speaker 5: And they all have a Boston accent.
- 4:55Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 4:57Speaker 3: That thing where you don't use an R, is that
- 4:59Speaker 3: what they call it?
- 5:00Speaker 2: It was wicked piss up. Exactly. My point well taken.
- 5:05Speaker 2: I like to start our topic, Steve. I mean, really.
- 5:08Speaker 2: I knew Candy would come up with something.
- 5:09Speaker 6: There's your picture.
- 5:10Speaker 7: There you go.
- 5:11Speaker 6: There you go, people.
- 5:17Speaker 2: Yes. Yep. What was I saying? I forgot.
- 5:23Speaker 6: You were talking about running in the bride.
- 5:26Speaker 2: I'm not getting in front of one of them. Yeah.
- 5:29Speaker 2: And Scully Square was where my mom grew up.
- 5:32Speaker 5: In fact, my mom, when she was in high school,
- 5:37Speaker 5: used to babysit Leonard Nimoy.
- 5:41Speaker 2: Oh, my goodness. No way.
- 5:43Speaker 7: Wow.
- 5:43Speaker 5: He lived in because she lived in an apartment building
- 5:46Speaker 5: in Scully Square and he lived in the apartment.
- 5:50Speaker 2: Right below them.
- 5:52Speaker 5: And so he was, you know, about five or six
- 5:57Speaker 5: years younger than my mom. My mom was in high school,
- 6:00Speaker 5: and in the afternoon, she would babysit him until his
- 6:04Speaker 5: mom came home from work.
- 6:05Speaker 8: Cute.
- 6:06Speaker 4: What was he like as a kid?
- 6:10Speaker 3: Okay, any some thoughts about what Steve just divulged?
- 6:14Speaker 7: Well, I remember hearing about the Running of the Brides
- 6:17Speaker 7: all the way down in Northern Virginia when they ran
- 6:19Speaker 7: in Filene's.
- 6:21Speaker 8: Because we had a Filene's basement down in, I think,
- 6:23Speaker 8: the D.C.
- 6:24Speaker 2: Area.
- 6:25Speaker 8: Uh, yeah, I, it's, you know, cities like Boston, Philadelphia,
- 6:29Speaker 8: New York, you know, when they lose some of their
- 6:32Speaker 8: historical things, whether it's a 3 a.m., you know, 3 a.m.
- 6:37Speaker 2: Roast beef.
- 6:38Speaker 8: When I heard that, I thought of, uh, you know,
- 6:41Speaker 8: being up in Philadelphia for school, it would be like
- 6:43Speaker 8: a 2 a.m. cheesesteak at one of your local, we
- 6:46Speaker 8: had a, there's a great cheesesteak place right by the university. Uh,
- 6:50Speaker 8: so yeah, you know, yeah, it's, it's, it's a sad thing,
- 6:54Speaker 8: but you know, It happens. But, you know, the filing's basement.
- 6:57Speaker 8: I'm with you, Scott.
- 6:59Speaker 7: I'm just going to stay out of that mess, you know.
- 7:04Speaker 5: Well, even better than the roast beef was 2 to
- 7:08Speaker 5: 3 a.m. going to Chinatown after the bar shut down.
- 7:15Speaker 2: For food? Yes.
- 7:17Speaker 5: And they had one huge buffet restaurant called the Golden Gate. And, like,
- 7:23Speaker 5: when the bars would flip the lights, you know, they
- 7:25Speaker 5: flip the lights, right?
- 7:26Speaker 2: Yeah. Tell everyone, you know, drink up and get the
- 7:29Speaker 2: hell out, right?
- 7:31Speaker 5: Everyone would start pounding their glasses on the bar and say,
- 7:34Speaker 5: Golden Gate.
- 7:36Speaker 6: Golden Gate.
- 7:39Speaker 2: And then you'd see everybody. I mean, there was a
- 7:41Speaker 2: waiting line around the corner to get in. Interesting. Those
- 7:46Speaker 2: were fun times.
- 7:49Speaker 4: As the queen of the runaway brides, Julia Roberts movie style,
- 7:54Speaker 4: I had a whole different vision of this running of
- 7:57Speaker 4: the brides. Those ladies are running towards marriage. I thought
- 8:02Speaker 4: I was leading us all down the center highway of
- 8:06Speaker 4: the state in our wedding gowns going, freedom!
- 8:11Speaker 5: In fact, I think a lot of men, after they
- 8:15Speaker 5: saw how their bride reacted... at Filene's basement, they probably
- 8:20Speaker 5: thought twice about getting married.
- 8:22Speaker 2: They should.
- 8:22Speaker 7: Yeah, exactly.
- 8:24Speaker 4: Actually, really, a groom should never see his bridezilla in
- 8:27Speaker 4: her full monster. It's not favorable. You know, the 3 a.m.
- 8:33Speaker 4: roast beef reminded me, I dated a guy who was
- 8:36Speaker 4: from upstate New York and they would have, Rochester, and
- 8:40Speaker 4: they would have trash plates in the middle of the
- 8:43Speaker 4: night or garbage plates or something like that. I don't
- 8:45Speaker 4: remember what it was, but it was like, a whole
- 8:47Speaker 4: mishmash of junk, you know, bad food to eat in
- 8:51Speaker 4: the middle of the night. But I remember getting it
- 8:54Speaker 4: and thinking this thing needs French fries or like it
- 8:57Speaker 4: was missing one thing. And they're like, leave it to
- 8:59Speaker 4: a Californian to take our trash plate and say it
- 9:02Speaker 4: needs more. Needed something.
- 9:10Speaker 7: Wow. A trash plate didn't have a trash plate. Didn't
- 9:12Speaker 7: have French fries. I would expect that would be a staple.
- 9:16Speaker 4: Yeah, I can't remember what it was, but I was like,
- 9:18Speaker 4: it's missing. It was missing a key element, right?
- 9:20Speaker 7: Because you need a starch to absorb all the stuff.
- 9:25Speaker 4: There was macaroni salad, which I was like, who eats
- 9:27Speaker 4: macaroni salad when you're drunk?
- 9:30Speaker 7: Somebody in Rochester.
- 9:33Speaker 4: I think it was called a throw-up plate. You're going
- 9:35Speaker 4: to eat macaroni salad while you're drunk.
- 9:38Speaker 2: The best drunk food is Chinese food. So that's why Chinatown.
- 9:44Speaker 4: I'm impartial to a taco, but you know.
- 9:47Speaker 6: I was just going to say, Jen, Taco Bell's hours
- 9:51Speaker 6: are until 4 a.m. specifically for that reason. For a drunk,
- 9:56Speaker 6: they eat greasy Taco.
- 9:59Speaker 4: Greasy junk food is the best it's really the hangover
- 10:03Speaker 4: yes yes yes oh it was like yeah and the
- 10:08Speaker 4: floor show was the best you know the floor show oh.
- 10:12Speaker 2: Yeah When all the drunks would come in.
- 10:14Speaker 7: Oh, yeah.
- 10:16Speaker 4: People watching.
- 10:17Speaker 7: Tripping over each other, probably. Trying to count the money out.
- 10:22Speaker 2: Getting violent, you know, getting thrown out.
- 10:27Speaker 6: I do want to go back to that, Filene. Do
- 10:30Speaker 6: you know that that started in 1947 at the historic
- 10:35Speaker 6: downtown Boston flagship store? Thousands of non-returnable designers wedding gowns
- 10:43Speaker 6: normally retailing anywhere from $ 3, 000 to $ 10, 000 were slashed to
- 10:46Speaker 6: $ 249 to $ 699. And they said the doors opened at
- 10:49Speaker 6: 8 a.m. It was such a mayhem that girls would
- 10:50Speaker 6: wear their swimsuits So that they could strip right there
- 11:06Speaker 6: in the store because they couldn't get to the dressing room.
- 11:10Speaker 6: So yeah, they would wear swimming suits so they could
- 11:14Speaker 6: quick try them on right then and there.
- 11:17Speaker 4: But was it a dress? Did you just grab, you
- 11:19Speaker 4: got that dress and you left? That was the dress?
- 11:22Speaker 4: Or you still ordered it?
- 11:23Speaker 2: Well, they had one of these great big wraps.
- 11:25Speaker 4: Oh, okay.
- 11:27Speaker 5: And they were, like Candy was saying, they were very
- 11:30Speaker 5: expensive designer ones. And they'd have racks and racks of them.
- 11:35Speaker 5: And it would just be like stripped down, throw it on.
- 11:39Speaker 5: If it come close to fitting, we're out of here.
- 11:42Speaker 3: Exactly.
- 11:44Speaker 7: That's what seamstresses are for. It needs a little adjustment.
- 11:48Speaker 3: Well, in light of everything everybody said, I still want
- 11:52Speaker 3: to see the raking.
- 11:53Speaker 2: Of the ponies.
- 11:56Speaker 4: Ponies are fun.
- 11:57Speaker 2: Yeah, but when you see them raked, it's different. Ponies
- 11:59Speaker 2: are more organized.
- 12:01Speaker 3: Let me tell you, I'm into this adrenaline rush stuff.
- 12:05Speaker 2: I really am.
- 12:05Speaker 3: I don't care if it's a pony. I don't care
- 12:07Speaker 3: if it's a NASCAR. It doesn't matter. If I get
- 12:11Speaker 3: in a fast car, I'm happy when I'm able to
- 12:13Speaker 3: do this stuff. I'm not ruling out getting behind a
- 12:17Speaker 3: car down the road or whatever I can do. But
- 12:20Speaker 3: you can talk about beef. You can talk about brides.
- 12:23Speaker 3: I want my pony ride. My pony ride. Anybody else
- 12:27Speaker 3: have anything to add to this? A lot more to
- 12:29Speaker 3: go on the Motor City Mad Mouse show. Who's left?
- 12:32Speaker 2: Anybody?
- 12:32Speaker 7: I think we're good there.
- 12:35Speaker 2: Oh, my goodness. Where are we going now?
- 12:37Speaker 3: We're going to talk about the three unspoken rules of Cancun.
- 12:41Speaker 3: Get ready to go to Cancun.
- 12:43Speaker 2: All right. I packed my bag.
- 12:45Speaker 4: I'm ready to go.
- 12:46Speaker 2: Exactly.
- 12:47Speaker 7: I thought we were getting ready to do a remote.
- 12:49Speaker 4: All right.
- 12:49Speaker 2: All right.
- 12:50Speaker 3: So here, get this. It says never stay exclusively in
- 12:53Speaker 3: the hotel zone. The real Cancun starts the moment you
- 12:57Speaker 3: leave it.
- 12:58Speaker 8: I know.
- 12:58Speaker 3: I've been to Cancun before. I actually went there for
- 13:01Speaker 3: Club Med, actually. So I got to see the, oh,
- 13:06Speaker 3: I enjoy the flea markets.
- 13:07Speaker 2: I used to. I used to botch up the Mexican
- 13:09Speaker 2: language really bad.
- 13:10Speaker 8: Hey, senior.
- 13:12Speaker 2: I need to get some information. Not senior. Forget the senior.
- 13:16Speaker 3: That actually started in Albuquerque. I mean, not Albuquerque.
- 13:19Speaker 2: Acapulco.
- 13:20Speaker 3: I had my sister-in-law laughing so hard. She tried to
- 13:24Speaker 3: correct me all the time. Now I like my way better.
- 13:26Speaker 3: It's more funny. Hey, when they see money, they don't
- 13:28Speaker 3: care what you call these people.
- 13:30Speaker 2: But hey, senior. I need to fill up my drink, senior.
- 13:34Speaker 2: And everybody's laughing. Now they're a part of me.
- 13:37Speaker 3: But, no, anyways, it says never stay exclusively in a
- 13:39Speaker 3: hotel zone. The real Cancun starts the moment you leave it.
- 13:43Speaker 3: It says always book hotels at adhotel.com. All right, you
- 13:47Speaker 3: got your free prop here. Never drink tap water. I
- 13:50Speaker 3: don't know that in terms of Mexico.
- 13:52Speaker 1: No, you don't.
- 13:53Speaker 2: Not just in Cancun, anywhere in Mexico.
- 13:56Speaker 7: Yes.
- 13:56Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I was about to get to an incredible
- 13:58Speaker 3: story here that only one can remember. I remember when
- 14:01Speaker 3: I was out in El Paso and I went to
- 14:03Speaker 3: a war. It's not a place you'd want to take
- 14:05Speaker 3: anybody in.
- 14:06Speaker 2: I've been there. I figured you would.
- 14:10Speaker 3: But get this. This is a great story. I'm there
- 14:13Speaker 3: for a marketing seminar. I get across the border there,
- 14:19Speaker 3: and I watch some greyhound dog racing.
- 14:24Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying?
- 14:26Speaker 3: And I thought, you know what I'm going to do?
- 14:28Speaker 3: I'm going to bet on this dog called Bill Walton.
- 14:30Speaker 3: You know, because he's a champion when it came to
- 14:33Speaker 3: going out there. And, of course, he was busted up
- 14:35Speaker 3: in years with, you know, the injury problems he had.
- 14:40Speaker 3: So I decided to bet on him.
- 14:42Speaker 2: You know what happened?
- 14:43Speaker 3: Not only did he finish last in the race, I
- 14:46Speaker 3: got a diet coke.
- 14:47Speaker 2: At the time. And they put a lot of ice
- 14:51Speaker 2: in it.
- 14:51Speaker 3: I started drinking the water, realizing it was ice. And
- 14:53Speaker 3: I got sick to my stomach.
- 14:56Speaker 2: Oh, gosh.
- 14:57Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
- 14:57Speaker 3: So you think a Bill Walton means having ice over
- 15:00Speaker 3: at the war is dog track? Give me a break
- 15:03Speaker 3: on it. I don't care if it's tap water or
- 15:06Speaker 3: ice skew. Stay the heck away from it. Those are
- 15:08Speaker 3: your primary rules.
- 15:09Speaker 2: All right, Steve. What are your thoughts, my man? Yeah,
- 15:13Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, I totally agree with that.
- 15:16Speaker 5: I mean, you know, good story about war is I
- 15:19Speaker 5: went down there with some friends of mine. And so
- 15:24Speaker 5: this one guy, said we need to go get boots made.
- 15:29Speaker 5: So he knew this boot maker. So we go in
- 15:32Speaker 5: this guy's shop and you take your shoe off and
- 15:37Speaker 5: they measure your feet. And I wanted alligator boots. So
- 15:44Speaker 5: he was going to make mine alligator. The other guy
- 15:46Speaker 5: wanted ostrich, blah, blah, blah. Anyway, so he goes, go
- 15:50Speaker 5: next door. There's a bar over there. Come back in
- 15:55Speaker 5: about three or four hours. We'll have all your boots made. So,
- 15:58Speaker 5: of course, we went over there and started drinking tequila,
- 16:02Speaker 5: got absolutely intoxicated. And so now we're going back across
- 16:07Speaker 5: the border. Oh, and the other thing, the guy had
- 16:10Speaker 5: these Three Amigo hats in his store, you know, like
- 16:12Speaker 5: the big sombreros from Three Amigo.
- 16:15Speaker 2: So, of course, we all had to get one of those.
- 16:18Speaker 5: We're coming back across the border with open bottles of
- 16:21Speaker 5: tequila and boots under the arms.
- 16:24Speaker 2: And the guy's at the border patrol.
- 16:26Speaker 5: You cannot bring an open bottle of alcohol back across
- 16:35Speaker 5: the border. So my partner, the guy who was driving,
- 16:38Speaker 5: by the way, he had about this much left.
- 16:41Speaker 2: In his tequila bottle. He just tilted it back, throws
- 16:45Speaker 2: the empty. He goes, can I cross now? That's insane.
- 16:52Speaker 5: Yes, El Paso was happy to see us leaping.
- 16:55Speaker 4: Did he live? Did his face hit the ground?
- 17:00Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. It was, yeah.
- 17:03Speaker 5: So we were all wearing three amigos hats, carrying boots
- 17:07Speaker 5: under the arm. And then from there, it went downhill.
- 17:12Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 17:16Speaker 8: And then he's probably asking you why you stole his
- 17:18Speaker 8: bottle of tequila because you still have it.
- 17:20Speaker 7: He doesn't remember tossing his on the border.
- 17:23Speaker 2: Yeah, the bottle went by the wayside.
- 17:29Speaker 8: I thought you were going to say once. I thought
- 17:31Speaker 8: you were going to say once, Scott, you know what
- 17:32Speaker 8: happens in Cancun stays in Cancun.
- 17:35Speaker 7: Well, I thought that was.
- 17:36Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, that's pretty much anywhere in Mexico. Yes.
- 17:40Speaker 8: No, but I like the one that you said about
- 17:43Speaker 8: you have to go outside of the touristy stuff.
- 17:45Speaker 1: I always.
- 17:47Speaker 8: I'm a big believer in that. You have to go
- 17:49Speaker 8: out and that's the only way you're going to really
- 17:50Speaker 8: get what is the culture. It's like, I mean, on
- 17:55Speaker 8: a very lower level, when I travel, if I go
- 17:59Speaker 8: have dinner or sit at a bar with a buddy
- 18:01Speaker 8: or something, you know, and I have a beer, it's
- 18:03Speaker 8: always like, what is local? You know, I always try
- 18:06Speaker 8: the local beers. You know, I can get, you know,
- 18:08Speaker 8: you can get your typical whatever. And I like IPA.
- 18:12Speaker 8: So I always say, what's your, like, what's your local IPA?
- 18:14Speaker 8: What's your, you know, there's a, craft distillery in every
- 18:18Speaker 8: nook and cranny of this country now. So you cannot, um,
- 18:23Speaker 8: so you can always go in most of the local places.
- 18:25Speaker 7: There are trying to, uh, we'll, we'll usually have something.
- 18:29Speaker 7: So no, that's, uh, I haven't been to Cancun, but
- 18:32Speaker 7: I hope to, you know, on my bucket list to
- 18:35Speaker 7: go start visiting some of the islands before I get
- 18:38Speaker 7: too old, you know, but yeah.
- 18:43Speaker 4: I love the islands.
- 18:44Speaker 2: I love islands.
- 18:45Speaker 8: Yes.
- 18:45Speaker 4: Cancun, I think of as scuba diving. And so that's
- 18:48Speaker 4: definitely getting out of the touristy thing, but is it really,
- 18:51Speaker 4: you know?
- 18:51Speaker 2: No.
- 18:52Speaker 4: I love to travel off the beaten path. In fact,
- 18:54Speaker 4: there's a, there's a book line or there was, you know,
- 18:57Speaker 4: back in the travel book days, I don't know if
- 18:59Speaker 4: they transferred online because I haven't, I haven't done it
- 19:01Speaker 4: for a long time, but it was called off the
- 19:03Speaker 4: beaten track. And it would tell you all the places
- 19:06Speaker 4: that you don't normally go to. Right. And then I
- 19:09Speaker 4: got to travel that way all through Europe and where
- 19:13Speaker 4: I we, we explored things that were very non-traditional, you know,
- 19:17Speaker 4: we went to places that a lot of Americans don't know.
- 19:20Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 19:21Speaker 4: A lot of fun. I mean, Mexico, you know, like, well,
- 19:24Speaker 4: Belize is not Mexico. It's Belize, but it's right there
- 19:27Speaker 4: next to Mexico. You know, it's kind of Mexico. They
- 19:30Speaker 4: might hate me for that, but like everybody was walking
- 19:32Speaker 4: around Belize with AK 47s on their back. As soon
- 19:35Speaker 4: as I got out of the city, it was much safer.
- 19:38Speaker 4: I mean, it wasn't safe at all to walk around
- 19:40Speaker 4: in the city. Even teenagers had AK-47s on their back.
- 19:44Speaker 2: It was... In Belize? In Belize. In Belize City. Oh, wow.
- 19:48Speaker 2: That changed then. I mean, I was.
- 19:49Speaker 4: there- That was years ago.
- 19:51Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 19:51Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, I was there a long, long time ago,
- 19:54Speaker 2: and it wasn't like that.
- 19:56Speaker 3: I got the best of both worlds in that situation.
- 19:58Speaker 3: Number one, I got to stay there. I went to
- 20:00Speaker 3: the flea market, bargained, and got whatever I want and
- 20:03Speaker 3: had them. I said, hey, senior, I'm looking to make
- 20:07Speaker 3: a deal. And I had a bunch of these Mexicans
- 20:11Speaker 3: coming up. Hey, listen, I want to come here and show.
- 20:15Speaker 2: You my pitch. Oh, my God. Stand in line, brother.
- 20:19Speaker 3: And they looked like a herd of cows or whatever
- 20:23Speaker 3: you want to call them out there.
- 20:24Speaker 2: I listened one at a time.
- 20:26Speaker 3: And then I went around and around, kept flashing $ 10
- 20:29Speaker 3: bills up in.
- 20:29Speaker 2: Front of them.
- 20:30Speaker 3: Boy, I swear to God, you could have had a
- 20:33Speaker 3: bunch of herd of whatever looking at me like that,
- 20:36Speaker 3: like I was a fool.
- 20:37Speaker 2: I was.
- 20:37Speaker 3: But see, I got the local stuff. I love the bull.
- 20:41Speaker 3: I love the bull fight. They're pretty good. But what
- 20:43Speaker 3: was also interesting about it is I got clubbed mad
- 20:46Speaker 3: and got to meet some people there.
- 20:48Speaker 2: And it was good. So I got the best of
- 20:49Speaker 2: both worlds. Sorry to interrupt, but I had to get
- 20:51Speaker 2: that story out.
- 20:51Speaker 7: All good. All good.
- 20:52Speaker 4: I loved it.
- 20:54Speaker 2: So who's next?
- 20:56Speaker 7: Candice.
- 20:57Speaker 6: I guess it's me.
- 20:59Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 21:00Speaker 6: I mean, I've never been. I.
- 21:03Speaker 6: Totally agree with don't drink the water. You hear that
- 21:07Speaker 6: a lot of different places.
- 21:08Speaker 7: Yes.
- 21:09Speaker 6: In fact, I don't know that I would travel much
- 21:11Speaker 6: any place outside the U.S. without just going to bottled water.
- 21:16Speaker 2: Right. Yeah, exactly.
- 21:18Speaker 6: So one other thing that I would say you shouldn't
- 21:20Speaker 6: do is that you shouldn't take unmetered airport taxis.
- 21:27Speaker 2: Yes.
- 21:28Speaker 6: Because those really rip you off.
- 21:32Speaker 2: Yeah, they do.
- 21:32Speaker 6: Try and arrange them ahead of time.
- 21:35Speaker 2: Shuttles.
- 21:36Speaker 6: A lot of hotels will have a shuttle to and
- 21:39Speaker 6: from airports that you can arrange. But, yeah, that would
- 21:44Speaker 6: be the one thing I would say. That is one
- 21:47Speaker 6: thing that Scott and I did wrong when we went
- 21:49Speaker 6: to Portugal this year is we didn't take a taxi.
- 21:52Speaker 6: And he did take me for a little bit of
- 21:55Speaker 6: money that he probably shouldn't have. And then he dropped
- 21:59Speaker 6: us off on a street corner. Not even like too close.
- 22:03Speaker 6: I mean, there was a roundabout that he could have
- 22:06Speaker 6: gone through for the hotel. We had reservations, but no,
- 22:09Speaker 6: because he didn't want to go to the roundabout. He
- 22:11Speaker 6: just dropped us off at that street corner. Luckily, the
- 22:15Speaker 6: bellman came out to us and said, I'm so sorry
- 22:18Speaker 6: this happened to you and helped us in. And they
- 22:21Speaker 6: were wonderful. It was the Marriott in Lisbon, Portugal. I
- 22:26Speaker 6: will give them a plug because they were very, very generous.
- 22:29Speaker 6: great with everything. They helped us get tickets for the
- 22:32Speaker 6: soccer game. They, you know, they were really good.
- 22:36Speaker 2: Nice taxi. Not so much.
- 22:38Speaker 6: And the other thing I will say is when we travel,
- 22:43Speaker 6: Scott normally does handicap for all of his flight. And
- 22:47Speaker 6: so we have wheelchair assistance. Now, what I will tell
- 22:51Speaker 6: you is when you go to a foreign country, stay
- 22:54Speaker 6: in your seat on the airplane. If you are a
- 22:57Speaker 6: wheelchair assistance person, here in America, you can get off
- 23:01Speaker 6: the plane and you just stay at the end of
- 23:05Speaker 6: the gateway and they'll bring the wheelchairs down to you
- 23:08Speaker 6: and then they'll take you back. Not so much in Portugal.
- 23:12Speaker 6: We got up, we went off the wrong side of
- 23:15Speaker 6: the plane and Scott had to walk. They would not
- 23:19Speaker 6: bring a wheelchair for him for part of it because
- 23:22Speaker 6: we did not follow the correct way of doing things.
- 23:26Speaker 4: People like their rules.
- 23:28Speaker 3: They're not In other words, they're ruthless. But I'll tell you,
- 23:33Speaker 3: you got to know who your friends are on the
- 23:35Speaker 3: road when you travel. Marriott and Hilton are a couple
- 23:38Speaker 3: of ours. So if I go to Marriott, I feel
- 23:41Speaker 3: like I'm in the United States because I feel like
- 23:45Speaker 3: there's a certain way you're used to being treated. And
- 23:47Speaker 3: Hilton is also a good hotel as well.
- 23:49Speaker 2: I got plenty more crazy.
- 23:50Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 23:51Speaker 2: Four Seasons. Four Seasons will pick you up at the airport. Yeah.
- 23:57Speaker 2: And they have the big van. that. I wish I
- 24:00Speaker 2: would have known then what I know now.
- 24:02Speaker 4: I'll be on Steve's coattails when I travel now.
- 24:04Speaker 8: Exactly. I just want to travel with Steve because he'll
- 24:09Speaker 8: be fun.
- 24:10Speaker 4: He's as good as you can wheel me in.
- 24:14Speaker 2: Now, wait, listen.
- 24:14Speaker 3: I got a question to all of y'all.
- 24:16Speaker 2: Everybody's heard of Karen Carper. I'm on the top of
- 24:20Speaker 2: the world. Well, Karen, I'm never going to compete against you.
- 24:26Speaker 3: I'm going to give you something, Karen, that you will
- 24:27Speaker 3: turn over in your grave for right now, sweetheart. God
- 24:30Speaker 3: love you because you're one of my favorites.
- 24:31Speaker 2: Okay.
- 24:32Speaker 3: Well, and Saudi Arabia has plans to build the world's
- 24:35Speaker 3: first ever Sky Stadium, Candy. Go ahead and research that.
- 24:40Speaker 3: Get me a visual. 1,150 feet in the air with 46,000 seats. Candy,
- 24:47Speaker 3: look it up. Karen Carter, I still love you on
- 24:49Speaker 3: top of the world, but this is a 46,000-seat stadium
- 24:55Speaker 3: up there.
- 24:56Speaker 2: All right. Steve, what are your thoughts about the thought
- 24:57Speaker 2: of this?
- 24:58Speaker 5: Yeah, I'll take a big pass on that one. I mean,
- 25:03Speaker 5: if you're putting a stadium that big, that high, I
- 25:07Speaker 5: would imagine it's not going to be the most.
- 25:09Speaker 2: Stable place in the world.
- 25:12Speaker 3: Wait till she finds a picture of this place.
- 25:16Speaker 2: No, I'll take a hard pass on that. Won't go there.
- 25:21Speaker 2: Say I did.
- 25:24Speaker 4: How is it in, I mean, I'm just like, It.
- 25:28Speaker 8: Would have to be some kind of engineering feat of technology.
- 25:33Speaker 7: I was just going to say.
- 25:35Speaker 4: Is it floating or is it lifted?
- 25:39Speaker 7: Maybe if they just put it on the clouds. It's
- 25:41Speaker 7: certainly not suspended from the clouds.
- 25:43Speaker 4: The clouds move, so we know it's not suspended. Or
- 25:48Speaker 4: is it?
- 25:49Speaker 2: You have to take a helicopter to get up there.
- 25:52Speaker 2: That's a lot of steps.
- 25:55Speaker 7: Yeah, I know.
- 25:55Speaker 8: What they'll do is they'll put it at like 20,000
- 25:57Speaker 8: feet and it'll be glass elevators. You'll have all the
- 26:01Speaker 8: people that are going up and like, oh my god.
- 26:05Speaker 4: Oh my god. Yeah, I don't know. There's a lot
- 26:09Speaker 4: of mishaps happening lately with man-made.
- 26:12Speaker 6: Off to the right it shows the bowl. It's kind
- 26:15Speaker 6: of suspended.
- 26:17Speaker 2: It's suspended. 1,150 feet above the ground.
- 26:26Speaker 3: I sent you a text, Candy, see what you can
- 26:27Speaker 3: do with it. When you see it, then you'll definitely
- 26:33Speaker 3: convince yourself you don't.
- 26:34Speaker 2: Want to do it.
- 26:36Speaker 3: Yeah, I probably would pass on that one too, Steve.
- 26:42Speaker 3: She'll get it out there. That way everybody can say
- 26:45Speaker 3: yes and no. And no stands louder than yes. All right, Candy,
- 26:50Speaker 3: work your magic with the production part of it.
- 26:52Speaker 2: Here's another picture of it. Okay. So we can all
- 26:57Speaker 2: visualize it.
- 27:03Speaker 6: Can you see it?
- 27:05Speaker 7: Oh, that's a hard pass. It almost looks like it's...
- 27:12Speaker 7: Do you remember? Do you guys at the Harry Potter.
- 27:15Speaker 7: The Harry Potter where they're at the.
- 27:18Speaker 5: Looks like Sauron's Tower.
- 27:21Speaker 7: Yeah, that too.
- 27:21Speaker 8: It looks like Sour on Sour, but the first thing
- 27:23Speaker 8: I thought was the international Quidditch match where they're all
- 27:27Speaker 8: kind of standing in.
- 27:28Speaker 7: The girders or whatever, watching the guys fly around it. Yeah, no.
- 27:33Speaker 7: To Jen's point, you know, somebody just fell off a
- 27:39Speaker 7: roller coaster. That was awful. Yeah, no.
- 27:41Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 27:42Speaker 4: 42 years old, that poor dad. Well, this isn't suspended.
- 27:52Speaker 4: It's lifted. It's built from the ground up, and it
- 27:56Speaker 4: just happens to be the top bowl or something up there, right?
- 28:05Speaker 2: It's almost like a chalice.
- 28:08Speaker 5: To build a skyscraper that tall, because you're figuring, what
- 28:12Speaker 5: did you say, Scott?
- 28:13Speaker 2: 1,100 feet. So that's 110 floors. Yeah.
- 28:15Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 28:20Speaker 5: So you have to have girders that go so deep
- 28:23Speaker 5: in the bedrock to support that. And then you're going
- 28:27Speaker 5: to put a.
- 28:29Speaker 2: 46,000 seat venue on top of it?
- 28:34Speaker 6: They're going to host the World Cup, too, in 2034.
- 28:37Speaker 2: Wow.
- 28:39Speaker 4: I need to know more about the engineers. Ditto.
- 28:43Speaker 2: Ditto. Ditto. I'm just taking a big fat no on
- 28:50Speaker 2: that one.
- 28:51Speaker 8: The crown prince came to a whole bunch of engineers
- 28:55Speaker 8: and said, solve this problem. I want a bowl. I
- 28:59Speaker 8: see a stadium. I see World Cup soccer.
- 29:04Speaker 2: In the sky. I see the Houthis and the Iranians
- 29:07Speaker 2: shooting missiles at it.
- 29:08Speaker 7: Exactly.
- 29:11Speaker 2: Exactly.
- 29:12Speaker 7: You get drones flying over it.
- 29:14Speaker 2: Yeah, and then where are you going to go?
- 29:17Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 29:18Speaker 7: You're going, you're going down with the stadium.
- 29:22Speaker 4: Well, you don't have that long to worry about it necessarily.
- 29:27Speaker 4: If something goes wrong.
- 29:28Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 29:28Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 29:29Speaker 4: That's old skydiving advice. You know, don't worry. You won't panic.
- 29:36Speaker 2: Jump up.
- 29:36Speaker 7: Yeah, exactly. Exactly.
- 29:38Speaker 3: Yeah. I, I, my suggestion is anybody that walks in
- 29:42Speaker 3: that stadium, take a little bit of advice from Ray Charles,
- 29:46Speaker 3: pretend you're blind when it comes to looking over the
- 29:49Speaker 3: outside of that thing and know that you're, you're up
- 29:51Speaker 3: there someplace watching the game, even though the distance is
- 29:54Speaker 3: probably far from there. So I've got two celebrities into
- 29:57Speaker 3: this segment. I've got Karen Carpenter on top of the world,
- 30:00Speaker 3: although I don't know if she's staying this way. It's
- 30:01Speaker 3: Ray Charles. Blind so you don't see what's behind. Any
- 30:07Speaker 3: of that make sense? Everybody talk about it?
- 30:10Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 30:11Speaker 2: Everybody's got it. All right.
- 30:14Speaker 3: Let's continue on here because now we're going to talk
- 30:17Speaker 3: about Bob Barker. Signed off in 2007. Bob hosted the
- 30:20Speaker 3: final episode The Price is Right. He was host for
- 30:26Speaker 3: 35 years. Did you know that Bob Parker went out
- 30:30Speaker 3: there and was the host for Truth or Consequences? And
- 30:34Speaker 3: there's a Truth or Consequences city actually in New Mexico.
- 30:39Speaker 2: Yes, there is. How about that, Steve? What do you think?
- 30:41Speaker 3: We're talking about Bob Parker. The Price is Right for
- 30:43Speaker 3: everybody to watch his show. All you got to do
- 30:46Speaker 3: is hit the subscribe button on South Florida Tribune. You
- 30:48Speaker 3: can watch all this craziness.
- 30:49Speaker 2: There you go. The Price is Right. Zero. All you
- 30:52Speaker 2: need to do is hit the whatever thing that's in
- 30:53Speaker 2: the news. Okay, Steve.
- 30:55Speaker 5: And I was always a Bob Barker fan, but even
- 30:58Speaker 5: more so after he beat up Adam Sandler on the
- 31:01Speaker 5: golf course.
- 31:03Speaker 8: Exactly.
- 31:04Speaker 6: Exactly.
- 31:05Speaker 4: That was great.
- 31:07Speaker 2: I mean, I was like, Bob, you're now my hero.
- 31:11Speaker 2: That's it.
- 31:12Speaker 8: Steve, that was the– I had thought 1A was right,
- 31:16Speaker 8: but 1A was that scene where he's beating him up.
- 31:20Speaker 7: And he's just going down. That is hysterical.
- 31:23Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
- 31:24Speaker 5: I laughed so hard because I was like, that's it.
- 31:28Speaker 5: Bob's not my hero.
- 31:30Speaker 3: That's a good one. Well, you got more hugs and
- 31:34Speaker 3: kisses than politicians tell lies.
- 31:37Speaker 2: Oh, you're not kidding.
- 31:39Speaker 7: Who didn't love the prices right growing up? Watching Bob
- 31:43Speaker 7: Barker and spinning, trying to see if he can get
- 31:46Speaker 7: the numbers we had.
- 31:48Speaker 8: Our on Tuesdays and Thursdays, there was like a, the
- 31:51Speaker 8: like 11 to one, it was like an open period
- 31:54Speaker 8: for clubs to meet. And no, some of me and
- 31:56Speaker 8: my friends from college, we would grab meals to go
- 32:01Speaker 8: and we'd go back to our room and we'd watch
- 32:04Speaker 8: when we.
- 32:04Speaker 7: Probably should be studying.
- 32:06Speaker 8: We were watching, we were watching Bob Barker and prices
- 32:09Speaker 8: right at that time.
- 32:10Speaker 2: Eating our lunch. Yeah, exactly.
- 32:11Speaker 8: No, but yeah, Not that, you know, but the best
- 32:18Speaker 8: part was when that guy, you know, somebody would go,
- 32:20Speaker 8: all right, Bob, mine is 800.
- 32:24Speaker 7: Mine is seven. And the next guy goes or goes,
- 32:28Speaker 7: I'm 801.
- 32:28Speaker 8: And you can just see the look on his face.
- 32:32Speaker 7: It's like, really?
- 32:33Speaker 2: Really? Yeah. I always wanted to punch those people. Yeah, exactly.
- 32:39Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 32:42Speaker 4: That's just lacking strategy.
- 32:44Speaker 7: Yes.
- 32:45Speaker 4: Creativity. It is a strategy.
- 32:47Speaker 2: It's just lacking strategy.
- 32:48Speaker 4: It's bullying, really.
- 32:52Speaker 2: Who's next? I don't even know who started.
- 32:56Speaker 7: We all kind of were talking.
- 32:59Speaker 2: Anything else y'all want to add to this? Candy? We're good.
- 33:04Speaker 3: Bob Barker was truly one of a kind. I'm glad
- 33:06Speaker 3: that he liked animals, too.
- 33:08Speaker 2: I only have room for three of them in here.
- 33:10Speaker 2: He's a big animal guy. Exactly.
- 33:12Speaker 7: He always did his PSA at the end.
- 33:16Speaker 2: Yep.
- 33:18Speaker 3: Bob Parker was truly one of a kind. Game show
- 33:21Speaker 3: host legend. Wanted to make sure we acknowledge him in
- 33:23Speaker 3: the Motor City Mad Mouse show.
- 33:25Speaker 2: All right.
- 33:25Speaker 3: Well, now let's get to the creepy part of this show.
- 33:29Speaker 2: And what do I mean? Yeah. What do I mean
- 33:31Speaker 2: by that? Oh, it's out of here.
- 33:33Speaker 3: Jack Jackson would say, these places in America that you
- 33:37Speaker 3: should never visit. Number one, you don't want to go
- 33:41Speaker 3: to Six Flags, New Orleans. Left to run after Hurricane Katrina.
- 33:46Speaker 3: This fence saw for a reason. Giant rides creak in
- 33:49Speaker 3: the wind and the silence is dampening. Elkmont, Tennessee, an
- 33:53Speaker 3: old resort hidden in the forest. Cabins left untouched. Some
- 33:59Speaker 3: say they've heard footsteps echo in the trees when no
- 34:04Speaker 3: one's there. I'm not going anyways. Centralia, Pennsylvania. We've got
- 34:08Speaker 3: bigger fish to fry over there. In Europe, the whole
- 34:12Speaker 3: town has been burning underground for decades. The fire started
- 34:17Speaker 3: in 1962 and it's still going. Streets crack, smoke rises
- 34:21Speaker 3: from the ground, and no one lives there anymore. Bannock, Montana. Oh,
- 34:28Speaker 3: Montana makes the cut tonight. An old wild west town
- 34:31Speaker 3: frozen in wooden buildings, stands, doors, creek open, but no
- 34:36Speaker 3: one walks the streets anymore. Gilman, Colorado, an abandoned mining
- 34:42Speaker 3: town on a cliff edge, poisoned by decades of toxic waste.
- 34:49Speaker 3: No one is allowed in, but the ruins are still there.
- 34:52Speaker 2: Watching.
- 34:53Speaker 3: Lake Shawnee Amusement Park, West Virginia, built on cursed land.
- 34:58Speaker 3: Multiple deaths led to it being shut down. The Ferris
- 35:01Speaker 3: wheel still stands, but the rides haven't moved in years. P-I-C-H-E-R, Oklahoma,
- 35:09Speaker 3: declared one of the most toxic towns in America. The
- 35:12Speaker 3: ground is unstable. The air is unsafe. What looks like
- 35:17Speaker 3: an eerie apocalyptic whatever film?
- 35:22Speaker 2: Apocalypse, yeah. Yeah, I'll take it. Okay. And then you
- 35:25Speaker 2: got another one called Helltown, Ohio.
- 35:28Speaker 3: I guess it's appropriate, right? A town with so many
- 35:31Speaker 3: creepy stories. It got shut down. The government cleared it out.
- 35:35Speaker 2: But why?
- 35:37Speaker 3: Locals still won't go near it after dark. The Salton
- 35:41Speaker 3: Sea in California was a booming resort. Now it's a
- 35:45Speaker 3: ghost town with toxic waters, abandoned homes, the air smells
- 35:49Speaker 3: like decay, and the silence feels unnatural. And we have
- 35:55Speaker 3: one more to go. We've got North Brother Island, New York,
- 35:59Speaker 3: once home to a quarantine hospital, now swallowed by nature.
- 36:02Speaker 2: It's illegal to visit.
- 36:04Speaker 3: And many have tried to say it feels like wrong
- 36:08Speaker 3: to be there.
- 36:09Speaker 2: And there you have it. All right. So I gave
- 36:10Speaker 2: you an interesting list, Steve.
- 36:13Speaker 5: In fact, I saw a special on Smithsonian Channel with.
- 36:21Speaker 2: The majority of these places were on there.
- 36:24Speaker 5: And that place in Pennsylvania that was at the top,
- 36:28Speaker 5: that place is kind of freaky. Because, I mean, you know,
- 36:34Speaker 5: it hasn't been abandoned as long as some of these
- 36:38Speaker 5: ghosts have. So most of the buildings are still standing
- 36:43Speaker 5: and in fairly good condition. But it's so toxic. And,
- 36:47Speaker 5: you know, the ground underneath is still on fire like
- 36:50Speaker 5: 60 years later. It is a freaky looking place.
- 36:55Speaker 4: What's burning? What's it burning?
- 36:57Speaker 5: They had some kind of, I think there was mining
- 37:01Speaker 5: or something underneath and they had coal, but there was
- 37:08Speaker 5: something that lit it on fire and it's still burning
- 37:13Speaker 5: and they can't put it out. Wow.
- 37:17Speaker 8: Yeah. I, I, I, I think I, saw the same show, Steve,
- 37:20Speaker 8: because as soon as he said about the.
- 37:22Speaker 7: Burning, I was like.
- 37:23Speaker 5: Yeah, and I saw the place in Colorado, too. It
- 37:27Speaker 5: was a big mining town, and then there's a big
- 37:31Speaker 5: man-made lake that is all different colors because it's so polluted.
- 37:40Speaker 2: Yeah. It's interesting.
- 37:42Speaker 8: Scott talking about all of these toxic things in these
- 37:47Speaker 8: abandoned cities.
- 37:49Speaker 7: It.
- 37:49Speaker 8: Took me back to another episode, I think last week's maybe,
- 37:52Speaker 8: where when we're talking about foods, then we're talking about how,
- 37:55Speaker 8: you know, you eat better overseas and so on. But,
- 37:58Speaker 8: you know, though they ban everybody from going directly to
- 38:02Speaker 8: the source of all those toxic whatevers, you're not telling
- 38:07Speaker 8: me the jet stream is not picking up some of
- 38:10Speaker 8: that stuff and taking it east to west, west to,
- 38:14Speaker 8: you know, we have jet streams. So, no, I mean, anyway,
- 38:17Speaker 8: but I, I, I work, I've worked in some towns,
- 38:23Speaker 8: not eerily like that, but when you go into a
- 38:26Speaker 8: town that has manufacturing, a lot of times they're, they're
- 38:28Speaker 8: kind of older cities and, you know, especially if manufacturing's
- 38:32Speaker 8: left everybody, you know, when coal died, everybody left, you know,
- 38:37Speaker 8: when manufacturing leaves, everybody leaves. And it's, you know, I've
- 38:42Speaker 8: been into some, some towns where you, where you see
- 38:45Speaker 8: all the abandoned, there's more stuff abandoned than there is active.
- 38:48Speaker 7: And it's, it's scary and it's, it's, it's freaky.
- 38:53Speaker 8: I don't know if I was going to say scary,
- 38:55Speaker 8: but it's also kind of sad at the same time
- 38:56Speaker 8: to know that, to know that somebody's livelihood was that
- 39:01Speaker 8: shop that is now closed or that, you know, or that,
- 39:05Speaker 8: whatever that, you know, you see, you know, even, you know,
- 39:09Speaker 8: you see, you know, they don't put manufacturing facilities in, in,
- 39:15Speaker 8: in big posh cities. You know, I was in a
- 39:18Speaker 8: new Berlin or new, uh, something Connecticut. And it's, you know,
- 39:23Speaker 8: I looked at my colleague as we were driving in
- 39:25Speaker 8: and I said, hopefully we're wearing the right gang colors,
- 39:29Speaker 8: you know, so we're not, you know you know but
- 39:32Speaker 8: you know you just but no it's those are some
- 39:35Speaker 8: great cities all and then the one that you talked
- 39:38Speaker 8: about the cabin in the woods or something first thing
- 39:42Speaker 8: that popped into my head was the Blair Witch Project
- 39:44Speaker 8: I don't know if anybody if you guys ever saw
- 39:47Speaker 8: that movie no that was one of the That was, honestly,
- 39:51Speaker 8: that was one of the scariest movies I think I've
- 39:53Speaker 8: ever seen.
- 39:54Speaker 4: Oh, really?
- 39:55Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
- 39:56Speaker 2: I saw that, but to me, it wasn't that scary.
- 40:00Speaker 7: I don't know.
- 40:02Speaker 4: I thought it was good, but I mean.
- 40:05Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 40:08Speaker 8: I liked it so much, I had my, what was it,
- 40:11Speaker 8: my kids or my wife got it for a present.
- 40:14Speaker 2: Oh, wow.
- 40:15Speaker 4: You like to be scared.
- 40:16Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 40:17Speaker 7: No, not really. I just, I was just like, I
- 40:19Speaker 7: don't know. It was just different.
- 40:22Speaker 3: Huh?
- 40:23Speaker 4: Well, I don't think I knew all those places were toxic.
- 40:26Speaker 4: Haunted is one thing, but toxic is a whole nother. Like,
- 40:29Speaker 4: haunted I can deal with as long as it's not evil.
- 40:32Speaker 4: You know what I mean? You can ask it. But evil,
- 40:37Speaker 4: no thank you. And toxic, definitely no thank you. And yeah,
- 40:41Speaker 4: to Ed's point, I mean, air.
- 40:43Speaker 7: Moves, you know?
- 40:45Speaker 4: Land moves, like... We're all getting whatever it is. It's
- 40:49Speaker 4: terrible that they can't put that 60-year-old fire out. Seems
- 40:52Speaker 4: a little strange, but I guess if there's a constant
- 40:55Speaker 4: state of fuel, what are you going to do? I
- 40:57Speaker 4: don't know.
- 40:57Speaker 2: Wow.
- 40:59Speaker 7: Wow.
- 41:00Speaker 2: All right, Candy. Give me something.
- 41:04Speaker 6: One of the things that you didn't mention is Savannah, Georgia.
- 41:08Speaker 6: The historic southern Gothic city is built atop yellow fever graves.
- 41:15Speaker 6: Massive historic fires and revolutionary Civil War battlegrounds, frequently ranked
- 41:22Speaker 6: among the most haunted cities in the nation.
- 41:26Speaker 5: And Savannah is absolutely beautiful, too.
- 41:29Speaker 2: It's one of my favorite places. Really?
- 41:33Speaker 4: People told me to move there, but now I don't
- 41:35Speaker 4: think I will.
- 41:37Speaker 2: If you go there, you'd change your mind. It's beautiful.
- 41:41Speaker 4: Yeah, I have heard it's wonderful and gorgeous, but I
- 41:45Speaker 4: don't know.
- 41:47Speaker 3: Well, I can't think of them all. Isn't Helltown, Ohio
- 41:50Speaker 3: good enough?
- 41:52Speaker 4: Well, remember Poltergeist and they built the neighborhood on top
- 41:55Speaker 4: of the graveyard?
- 41:56Speaker 2: Yes.
- 41:57Speaker 7: Yes.
- 41:57Speaker 2: Yes. Oh, think about it.
- 41:59Speaker 4: Come to the light, Carolyn.
- 42:01Speaker 3: Yeah, but think of Giant Stadium. Didn't they go out
- 42:03Speaker 3: there and build a stadium over Jimmy Hoffa?
- 42:05Speaker 2: Well, they really wanted to find out. Yeah, exactly. I mean,
- 42:09Speaker 2: come on, Frank.
- 42:09Speaker 3: I mean, you know, nobody talks about Giant Stadium and
- 42:13Speaker 3: And Jimmy Hoffa, the Teamster, I never knew who the
- 42:16Speaker 3: Teamster was until I read it. I thought the Teamster
- 42:18Speaker 3: was something good until I read that.
- 42:21Speaker 7: Hey, Scott, I always tell people, I said, that's where
- 42:23Speaker 7: Jimmy Hoffa's buried.
- 42:25Speaker 4: Where is that?
- 42:26Speaker 7: He's in Giant Stadium. Oh, wow. Supposedly, they buried it.
- 42:31Speaker 7: That's from up that area.
- 42:34Speaker 4: Gotcha, yeah.
- 42:35Speaker 7: That's where they... That's where they say they, that's why
- 42:39Speaker 7: he was never found.
- 42:40Speaker 4: When they're pouring cement the next day, the grave is
- 42:42Speaker 4: dug the night prior. It looks just like the rest
- 42:45Speaker 4: of the dirt. One good way to do it.
- 42:47Speaker 7: And then they won't, they won't find it until they
- 42:50Speaker 7: tear that thing down.
- 42:51Speaker 4: And everybody's long gone by then.
- 42:54Speaker 2: Exactly.
- 42:55Speaker 4: Interesting.
- 42:56Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 42:57Speaker 3: I think the most interesting one here is Elton, Ohio.
- 43:00Speaker 3: I just like the title of it. That's all.
- 43:03Speaker 2: Ohio. I mean, don't get any better than that.
- 43:05Speaker 8: Really? Yeah. Or you could have, you know, there's also,
- 43:09Speaker 8: you know, there's Santa Claus Indiana, right?
- 43:11Speaker 3: What's that?
- 43:13Speaker 2: Oh, really?
- 43:13Speaker 7: Santa Claus Indiana.
- 43:14Speaker 8: Yeah, I actually, I have a client not too far from, actually,
- 43:20Speaker 8: one of the guys on our project team that worked,
- 43:23Speaker 8: lived in Santa Claus. And he says it is, I mean,
- 43:28Speaker 8: it's festive. I forget what he said. It's like November
- 43:32Speaker 8: to May or something like that.
- 43:34Speaker 7: So.
- 43:37Speaker 7: It's a place.
- 43:39Speaker 4: That's cool. I like Christmas. I would fit right in.
- 43:42Speaker 4: Except for the snow.
- 43:46Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 43:46Speaker 3: I mean, I never know. Hanukkah is never on my birthday.
- 43:50Speaker 3: So that's a Jewish thing. You know, I'm Jewish.
- 43:53Speaker 2: I get that.
- 43:54Speaker 3: But you think I'm going to say my birthday is
- 43:57Speaker 3: after Hanukkah or whatever?
- 43:59Speaker 2: You know when the heck it is every year?
- 44:00Speaker 4: Well, Hanukkah changes. Christmas we just keep it 25th.
- 44:04Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I'm always, hey, show them! Or is
- 44:08Speaker 2: it show them? Show them!
- 44:11Speaker 7: Candy!
- 44:12Speaker 4: Candy's like, this is my husband.
- 44:15Speaker 8: Okay, so now sticking with that whole Adam Sandler thing
- 44:21Speaker 8: that Steve started, now that Scott's going off talking about
- 44:25Speaker 8: Shalom and Hanukkah.
- 44:26Speaker 7: Now I just thought of Sandler's The Hanukkah Song.
- 44:30Speaker 2: Oh, great.
- 44:30Speaker 4: One of the greats.
- 44:32Speaker 2: Yes.
- 44:32Speaker 7: Oh, my God. Hanukkah, Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights.
- 44:36Speaker 2: There you go.
- 44:37Speaker 3: Well, here, think about this. You're talking about a guy
- 44:41Speaker 3: that goes to a Miami Heat game, okay? I don't
- 44:43Speaker 3: know what Hanukkah and all these Jewish Halloween are. You
- 44:45Speaker 3: know what you have? What do you have? Singing the
- 44:49Speaker 3: National Anthem? Not Pope Leo. That's for sure. They had
- 44:53Speaker 3: a rabbi out there singing the National Anthem in Miami.
- 44:56Speaker 3: That's when I learned it was Hanukkah. I didn't know
- 44:59Speaker 3: because I'm paying attention.
- 45:03Speaker 2: To this stuff. You're really in touch with your Jewish roots.
- 45:06Speaker 7: I was just going to say.
- 45:08Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you.
- 45:09Speaker 3: Many, many years ago, I have to tell you, I
- 45:11Speaker 3: was Orthodox for one day of the year. You know
- 45:14Speaker 3: what that was? Yom Kippur, baby. That's the one day
- 45:18Speaker 3: I'm not gaining any weight. And to show you how
- 45:20Speaker 3: strong my willpower was, there was a time when I
- 45:23Speaker 3: was delivering dominoes pizza on Yom Kippur. I was delivering
- 45:27Speaker 3: the food, but I couldn't eat it. That's willpower. Now,
- 45:30Speaker 3: like I said, that was a long time ago.
- 45:32Speaker 4: I'll send you a candelabra candy this year for holidays.
- 45:38Speaker 2: All right.
- 45:40Speaker 3: That shows you the extent of my religion. That's why
- 45:42Speaker 3: when we talk religion or not, we do it lighthearted.
- 45:44Speaker 3: But now when everybody hears me tell them, it's a
- 45:47Speaker 3: different story because they know they've got a knucklehead.
- 45:50Speaker 2: And you're an REM fan, obviously, right?
- 45:52Speaker 7: What's that? Yeah, you're an REM fan because you're losing
- 45:57Speaker 7: your religion.
- 45:57Speaker 2: Whatever. I have no idea. I've been grateful for 53 years.
- 46:05Speaker 7: Andy's going, please stop.
- 46:07Speaker 2: Please stop.
- 46:08Speaker 7: Please stop.
- 46:09Speaker 2: Please stop.
- 46:10Speaker 7: Steve and Ed, please stop.
- 46:12Speaker 3: Okay, all right, we'll stop. We'll talk about the Founding
- 46:15Speaker 3: Fathers instead. Why is this too much for you, Ed,
- 46:18Speaker 3: about Shalom, Peter? No, I'm all.
- 46:22Speaker 7: Good with Shalom. We've got good friends who are Jewish.
- 46:27Speaker 2: So I'm all good with Shalom. I got a lot
- 46:29Speaker 2: of friends that are Jewish. That's okay. But you know what?
- 46:32Speaker 3: I got to tell you this one story before I
- 46:34Speaker 3: go on on how our founding fathers died.
- 46:36Speaker 2: You know what?
- 46:38Speaker 3: I think there were Jewish women in my day. I
- 46:40Speaker 3: saw those big long claws. I said, uh-oh, I guess
- 46:43Speaker 3: that manicure bill or whatever is going to be a
- 46:45Speaker 3: hell of a lot of money. That manicure bill is
- 46:48Speaker 3: going to be bigger than most mortgage payments.
- 46:51Speaker 7: I see us losing followers.
- 46:53Speaker 2: I can hear them just going. No, I'm proud of
- 46:55Speaker 2: my three cat people. No, no, no.
- 47:08Speaker 3: And then I know what that's like in West Bloomfield, Michigan.
- 47:12Speaker 3: You want to talk about the Jap, the Jewish-American prison?
- 47:15Speaker 3: You can find them in West Bloomfield, Michigan. I didn't
- 47:19Speaker 3: get enough.
- 47:20Speaker 2: You want to go to Florida? You got them in
- 47:21Speaker 2: Boca Raton or wherever. That's okay. I'm done.
- 47:25Speaker 3: We got to talk about the founding fathers before I.
- 47:27Speaker 2: Get out of here.
- 47:28Speaker 7: Yeah, let's talk about.
- 47:29Speaker 3: The founding fathers quick. I had to get my two
- 47:32Speaker 3: cents worth on this one. I've been getting it out
- 47:34Speaker 3: of my system since I was forced to pass today
- 47:36Speaker 3: because I had some tests today at the doctor's.
- 47:38Speaker 2: But I'm okay. I'm doing the show. Once I got
- 47:40Speaker 2: my gasoline, I was okay.
- 47:42Speaker 5: On a future show, talking about Michigan, I wanted you
- 47:47Speaker 5: to do a segment on Grote's Point.
- 47:51Speaker 2: Send me a text. I'll do it. Send me a text.
- 47:55Speaker 2: That's my favorite movie. All right.
- 48:00Speaker 4: I started watching it. I need to get back to it.
- 48:03Speaker 2: Oh, my God. That was like the best. Oh, my God. Okay.
- 48:09Speaker 2: What's the movie called? Gross Point, G-R-O-S-S-E.
- 48:12Speaker 4: Gross Point Blank. Yeah, Gross Point Blank.
- 48:16Speaker 2: What's it? Okay.
- 48:20Speaker 8: Just a 30,000 feet. What's it about?
- 48:27Speaker 5: It's about a guy who's a contract killer who goes
- 48:31Speaker 5: back to his high school reunion and Everything that you
- 48:37Speaker 5: can imagine goes wrong.
- 48:41Speaker 2: It's from 1997.
- 48:43Speaker 5: He looks back up with his old girlfriend and then
- 48:48Speaker 5: he gets an assignment that he's supposed to kill her father.
- 48:51Speaker 5: It was absolutely hilarious.
- 48:56Speaker 4: Yeah, it's got Dan Aykroyd, but John Cusack is the.
- 49:00Speaker 2: Yes. Oh, okay.
- 49:02Speaker 4: Back in his heyday, you know, I love John Cusack.
- 49:04Speaker 8: Got it, yes.
- 49:05Speaker 2: Yes, John Cusack is hilarious in that.
- 49:08Speaker 7: Mini Driver, back in the Mini Driver days. Oh, yeah,
- 49:10Speaker 7: Mini Driver, and John Cusack's in it?
- 49:13Speaker 2: Yeah. Okay. Yeah. All right, let's go.
- 49:16Speaker 7: Yeah, go ahead.
- 49:17Speaker 2: Go ahead, Scott. All right, let's go to Hot Topics.
- 49:20Speaker 2: in lust with Minnie Driver back then.
- 49:22Speaker 4: Everybody was.
- 49:23Speaker 2: She's beautiful. Yeah. All right.
- 49:25Speaker 3: So let's go to the founding fathers. Got to talk
- 49:27Speaker 3: about our president today. How the founding fathers died. Let's
- 49:31Speaker 3: go to the scoreboard. Alexander Hamilton shot in a duel
- 49:36Speaker 3: at age 49. The bullet went through his liver, died.
- 49:39Speaker 3: Lodge is fine, and he was gone 31 hours later.
- 49:42Speaker 3: That is old Alexander Hamilton, people. All right, I'll go
- 49:48Speaker 3: over a little. Yeah, I think it was. I don't
- 49:53Speaker 3: know what that is. Who's in need?
- 49:56Speaker 4: Somebody's important.
- 49:58Speaker 2: No, that might be my. It's time.
- 50:00Speaker 8: It's time.
- 50:02Speaker 7: Steve's just been called on his next mission.
- 50:04Speaker 8: He's got to go dark for a couple days.
- 50:08Speaker 4: Steve's going dark.
- 50:09Speaker 3: All right, let's continue to go on. Alexander Hamilton shot
- 50:15Speaker 3: in a duel at age 49. We know about that.
- 50:19Speaker 3: We're going to talk about George Washington. Died at age 67,
- 50:22Speaker 3: throat infection. Doctors drained 40% of his blood in 12
- 50:26Speaker 3: hours trying to save him.
- 50:27Speaker 2: So we got George Washington. I heard it was strep throat. Well,
- 50:32Speaker 2: it's a throat infection. I would think that's it. Yeah.
- 50:35Speaker 2: Strep throat. I don't know. That's strep throat. What was that?
- 50:38Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 50:40Speaker 2: What did I do? I went to a throat doctor today. Right, Candy?
- 50:44Speaker 6: Mm-hmm.
- 50:46Speaker 4: Yes, I did.
- 50:46Speaker 8: All right.
- 50:47Speaker 2: We have George Washington.
- 50:48Speaker 3: Governor Morris had a urinary tract blockage and stuck a
- 50:53Speaker 3: whale bone up his urethra as a makeshift catheter. causing
- 51:00Speaker 3: internal injuries and infection. I don't really care about.
- 51:03Speaker 2: The whale bone.
- 51:06Speaker 3: I don't know what one looks like, and I don't
- 51:08Speaker 3: want to find out after this story.
- 51:10Speaker 2: I'm just wondering how it fits.
- 51:12Speaker 3: John Adams died of heart failure at age 90 on
- 51:15Speaker 3: July 4th, 1826, the 50th anniversary of Independence Day. His
- 51:19Speaker 3: last words, Jefferson survived. Jefferson had died hours early. John Adams,
- 51:26Speaker 3: I talked about him. Let's talk about James Monroe, died
- 51:28Speaker 3: at 73 from heart failure and tuberculosis at his daughter's home,
- 51:33Speaker 3: also on July 4th. So I talked about James Monroe.
- 51:37Speaker 3: We got Patrick Henney, tried to cure his sandwich, his
- 51:41Speaker 3: stomach cancer by swallowing a vial of liquid mercury. And
- 51:48Speaker 3: James Madison died of heart failure at 85. His valet
- 51:52Speaker 3: said he ceased breathing as quietly as possible. snuff of
- 51:56Speaker 3: the candles. So that was a reasonable way to go.
- 52:00Speaker 3: And we got Benjamin Franklin died at 84 when abscess
- 52:05Speaker 3: in his lung burst and filled his chest with fluid. 20,000
- 52:09Speaker 3: people attended his funeral.
- 52:10Speaker 2: Wow. Of course, what do you want?
- 52:12Speaker 3: His photos on a dollar bill. He sure he got
- 52:17Speaker 3: a good crowd for that. 20,000 people.
- 52:19Speaker 2: Guess what?
- 52:20Speaker 3: The Marlins can't even get 15,000 for a game. More
- 52:23Speaker 3: power to you, pal. Thomas Jefferson died at age 33
- 52:32Speaker 3: of pneumonia. I've had pneumonia, so it's not fun. Urinary
- 52:36Speaker 3: blockage and gout. July 4th of 1826. If it was
- 52:41Speaker 3: the 4th, yeah, he died hours before John Adams.
- 52:43Speaker 2: There you go.
- 52:44Speaker 3: Let's talk about the ones that stand out to everybody
- 52:47Speaker 3: else here. I started with George Washington. And Alexander Hamilton.
- 52:54Speaker 3: And let's continue to go.
- 52:56Speaker 2: Go ahead, Steve.
- 52:58Speaker 5: Yeah, Alexander Hamilton fought a duel with Aaron Burr. It
- 53:03Speaker 5: was a political thing there. And he died in the
- 53:08Speaker 5: duel because of that.
- 53:09Speaker 2: Washington, yeah.
- 53:11Speaker 5: I've heard historians say that today with antibiotics, Washington would.
- 53:17Speaker 2: Be fine in a day and a half.
- 53:20Speaker 5: So it's just... You know, it's kind of weird how
- 53:25Speaker 5: medicine back then was so far behind. But yeah, Adams
- 53:29Speaker 5: and Jefferson died the same day.
- 53:32Speaker 2: And, you.
- 53:35Speaker 5: Know, when you're talking about the whalebone, I'm here to
- 53:39Speaker 5: tell you that I just had a very intense pain
- 53:44Speaker 5: in my crotch when you said that.
- 53:47Speaker 8: Yes.
- 53:48Speaker 2: No doubt. Yeah.
- 53:50Speaker 5: Because I'm like, I can picture myself doing a lot
- 53:55Speaker 5: of freaky stuff and have in the past.
- 53:58Speaker 2: But putting a whale bone up there is not one
- 54:02Speaker 2: of them.
- 54:05Speaker 8: I think we need to have a show dedicated to
- 54:08Speaker 8: Steve's freaking crazy stuff. I think just a whole segment
- 54:13Speaker 8: on that. I think that will be good, good, good podcasting. Now,
- 54:18Speaker 8: I'm with Steve on that.
- 54:20Speaker 2: Oh, yes. Yeah. Not for the open.
- 54:28Speaker 7: Air. Yeah, that's why.
- 54:30Speaker 5: They're... Not on air, but if you want, we can
- 54:35Speaker 5: have a conversation.
- 54:38Speaker 7: No, I was with Steve on that. I was thinking
- 54:42Speaker 7: that's not going to be fun.
- 54:44Speaker 8: Washington getting his throat.
- 54:48Speaker 7: Blood, gene... The duel, you know, that was bad.
- 54:54Speaker 8: Two kind of positive, Jefferson and Adams, 90 and 85.
- 54:59Speaker 7: Respectively, I think.
- 55:01Speaker 8: That's, you know, to live that long in that time
- 55:04Speaker 8: frame is to be pretty good. But I think the
- 55:07Speaker 8: overall message that I got out of this was that,
- 55:10Speaker 8: you know, as you got older and if you got sick,
- 55:14Speaker 8: it was not a pleasant, you know, We sit here
- 55:18Speaker 8: and complain about a head cold or allergies, and these
- 55:23Speaker 8: people– Dying from it. Yeah, I live close to Manassas,
- 55:28Speaker 8: the battlefields, and we've done a whole bunch. There's a
- 55:32Speaker 8: lot of history around here where I live as well.
- 55:34Speaker 8: And you go into some of these houses that were
- 55:38Speaker 8: Civil War makeshift hospitals, and they have exhibits that show
- 55:45Speaker 8: you what they did. And I won't go, but it's,
- 55:48Speaker 8: I mean, there was like that, that whalebone thing, there
- 55:53Speaker 8: was no pain.
- 55:53Speaker 7: There was the whole bite the bullet. It was a
- 55:57Speaker 7: literal bullet. You bit, you.
- 55:59Speaker 8: Tried to, you know, there was not a lot of,
- 56:02Speaker 8: so that was not, not if it was, you know,
- 56:07Speaker 8: it was a time that had to be, but it
- 56:09Speaker 8: was not fun.
- 56:10Speaker 7: If you got an ailment, Jen.
- 56:14Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 56:14Speaker 4: Yeah. That's well, Interesting topic. I mean, so Adams and,
- 56:20Speaker 4: I mean, that's kind of just an interesting fact, but
- 56:22Speaker 4: I love that he lived to 90 because Adams is
- 56:25Speaker 4: my heritage through my great-grandfather's mother. Come to find out,
- 56:29Speaker 4: when I look at her face, I'm like 100% Adams.
- 56:32Speaker 7: That's so cool.
- 56:32Speaker 4: Long, thin face, you know.
- 56:34Speaker 7: Oh, that is so cool.
- 56:35Speaker 4: Yeah, my friend's husband we knew was related to Adams
- 56:38Speaker 4: and he has that exact whole structure to his face,
- 56:41Speaker 4: you know. And I was like, oh, without a doubt
- 56:43Speaker 4: when he said it, you know. And then I was
- 56:44Speaker 4: at a family event and then I found that out
- 56:47Speaker 4: about my grandfather's mother. And I'm like, no way. And
- 56:51Speaker 4: then I looked at her face and I'm like, totally.
- 56:57Speaker 7: I'm like, I see it.
- 56:59Speaker 4: And I have really good genes. My family does live
- 57:02Speaker 4: a long time. So go Adams. But I'm thinking if
- 57:04Speaker 4: he got to my, you know, he might have gotten around.
- 57:07Speaker 4: I don't know. Where does that tree branch? How far
- 57:10Speaker 4: is my friend's husband? No, my cousin. That's what I
- 57:12Speaker 4: want to know. these kinds of things. And when, no, when,
- 57:16Speaker 4: when I was 16, I got strep throat and my
- 57:19Speaker 4: doctor told me that George Washington died from it. And
- 57:25Speaker 4: I believed him because I was, I was on a trip.
- 57:28Speaker 4: I got sick the day of a friend's trip that
- 57:31Speaker 4: I was invited on and they didn't care for me
- 57:33Speaker 4: at all. And I was, I had it for over
- 57:36Speaker 4: a week by the time I got to the doctor
- 57:37Speaker 4: and I thought I was going to die. I couldn't swallow.
- 57:40Speaker 4: I couldn't, it was, it was awful. I couldn't anything.
- 57:43Speaker 2: Wow. Yep.
- 57:44Speaker 4: Go candy.
- 57:45Speaker 2: I've had pneumonia. It's not fun. I even had, what
- 57:48Speaker 2: was it, candy? That one thing I was in there.
- 57:54Speaker 6: No, he actually had sepsis.
- 57:56Speaker 4: He actually had very serious.
- 57:59Speaker 6: Very serious.
- 58:00Speaker 7: That's bad.
- 58:01Speaker 4: My grandmother died from sepsis.
- 58:04Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 58:05Speaker 4: Did you say someone died from gout?
- 58:07Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
- 58:09Speaker 4: From gal or with? I didn't know you could. I mean,
- 58:12Speaker 4: I've seen it be painful. My dad just had a
- 58:13Speaker 4: big flare up. He couldn't even walk at all. Like
- 58:16Speaker 4: I had a wheelchair. It was awful. Awful, awful.
- 58:20Speaker 2: All right, Katie, go ahead.
- 58:22Speaker 6: So the one president that I don't think you mentioned this,
- 58:25Speaker 6: but James Garfield, the 20th president of the United States,
- 58:30Speaker 6: his death on September 19th of 1891, two months after
- 58:34Speaker 6: being shot. But did you know His doctors did more
- 58:39Speaker 6: damage than the bullet, turning a three-inch wound into a
- 58:44Speaker 6: 20-inch gouge that became massively infected. And six months after
- 58:52Speaker 6: his inauguration made his tenure the second shortest in United
- 58:56Speaker 6: States history.
- 58:58Speaker 4: Practicing medicine.
- 59:00Speaker 2: Practicing.
- 59:02Speaker 8: Yes.
- 59:02Speaker 3: All right, let's go to our featured topic of the night.
- 59:05Speaker 3: ABC Shark Tank is moving filming to Atlanta after 17 years.
- 59:10Speaker 3: years in California. All right, Steve, another entertainment venture goes from,
- 59:17Speaker 3: leaves California and goes to Atlanta.
- 59:20Speaker 2: Go ahead, Steve. Yeah, I mean, it's so expensive there now.
- 59:23Speaker 5: I mean, the studios, I mean, it's, it's tough for
- 59:27Speaker 5: them to make any kind of profit these days. I mean,
- 59:32Speaker 5: California is, is, I mean, we can talk to Jen
- 59:36Speaker 5: about this. I mean, it's very expensive and, you know,
- 59:41Speaker 5: that's why they, they make so many movies overseas now.
- 59:44Speaker 2: Yeah. You know, all the ones I worked on were overseas.
- 59:49Speaker 4: I think if we were to look at some of
- 59:51Speaker 4: our missing fraudulent money, we might find it in some
- 59:53Speaker 4: very specific people's bank accounts is.
- 59:54Speaker 5: My, But yeah, California's gotten so expensive. I mean, that's,
- 1:00:01Speaker 5: you're going to see more and more of it. And
- 1:00:03Speaker 5: Atlanta has, over the years, developed into a huge entertainment hub.
- 1:00:09Speaker 5: I mean, that's been going on for quite a while.
- 1:00:14Speaker 2: Well, ever since Ted Turner was there.
- 1:00:17Speaker 4: No, I know.
- 1:00:18Speaker 8: Because we forget sometimes when we're watching shows, shows are businesses. They,
- 1:00:24Speaker 8: you know, the show comes on, it airs and the commercials,
- 1:00:29Speaker 8: you know, sometimes even the announcers, you know, the sports
- 1:00:32Speaker 8: announcer will come on and go, well, we'll have to
- 1:00:33Speaker 8: take a break because we've got to pay the bills.
- 1:00:36Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 1:00:36Speaker 8: And, you know, that's why Super Bowls get, what, $ 3 million,
- 1:00:40Speaker 8: $ 5 million for a 30-second spot or whatever the number
- 1:00:43Speaker 8: is now.
- 1:00:44Speaker 7: Yeah, so, you know, you have to go, you know,
- 1:00:47Speaker 7: at the end of.
- 1:00:47Speaker 8: The day, the executive producer who's putting up the cash
- 1:00:50Speaker 8: for the show, which are probably all the Sharks, they're,
- 1:00:53Speaker 8: you know, they're business savvy as it is. It's the
- 1:00:55Speaker 8: whole premise of the, of the, of the show. Um, yeah,
- 1:01:02Speaker 8: it makes, it makes sense to go somewhere. And then
- 1:01:04Speaker 8: to Steve's point, it's, you know, a hub of, you know,
- 1:01:07Speaker 8: it's a hub of, it's becoming the, you know, since
- 1:01:10Speaker 8: Ted Turner was there with CNN and TNT and all
- 1:01:13Speaker 8: of that, you know, it's kind of, it's kind of
- 1:01:15Speaker 8: being revitalized.
- 1:01:16Speaker 7: It appears, um, with regards to, uh, entertainment.
- 1:01:19Speaker 2: So, Yeah.
- 1:01:21Speaker 4: Georgia, the Carolinas, Tennessee, there's a whole bunch. Hollywood's moved
- 1:01:26Speaker 4: out of Hollywood and across the United States. And that
- 1:01:29Speaker 4: is because California doesn't understand money. And I just don't
- 1:01:33Speaker 4: get it. Like they think that everyone just owes the
- 1:01:36Speaker 4: state money just because you, you breathe here and once.
- 1:01:40Speaker 4: And so if you, if you thought about California, you
- 1:01:42Speaker 4: probably owe us taxes somewhere somehow. And so it's easier
- 1:01:46Speaker 4: to just not think about California, not do your project
- 1:01:49Speaker 4: in California. I mean, They're even like to the degree
- 1:01:52Speaker 4: of if you did one minute of business in California,
- 1:01:56Speaker 4: you owe us taxes for that one minute. Like it's
- 1:01:59Speaker 4: gotten absolutely absurd. In fact, the city of San Francisco
- 1:02:03Speaker 4: is so absurd that if you that they have to
- 1:02:07Speaker 4: pay a tax for every employee that works in the city,
- 1:02:11Speaker 4: whether they go to work or not, unless they actually
- 1:02:14Speaker 4: leave the vicinity. down to either Southern California or another state,
- 1:02:18Speaker 4: then they don't have to pay that tax for that
- 1:02:20Speaker 4: employee that one day. Like it's absurd. Like the accounting
- 1:02:23Speaker 4: of everything is absurd and California is absurd in all
- 1:02:26Speaker 4: of its fiscalness that it doesn't have.
- 1:02:29Speaker 8: Well, just to piggyback on that, I'm doing accounting and
- 1:02:34Speaker 8: business accounting and having, I've done sales tax for the
- 1:02:38Speaker 8: state of California, being in Virginia, what have you. And
- 1:02:42Speaker 8: it goes down to like, You know, most places just,
- 1:02:44Speaker 8: you know, you pay the state sales tax when you
- 1:02:47Speaker 8: do it. But in California, it's like five layers deep.
- 1:02:50Speaker 8: You have to calculate the sales, the state tax, county tax,
- 1:02:55Speaker 8: the municipal tax might be a town tax.
- 1:02:57Speaker 7: It might be a, it's not to your point, Jen.
- 1:03:00Speaker 8: It's everybody gets, they gouge you and everybody wants.
- 1:03:04Speaker 2: To get a piece. Yeah.
- 1:03:06Speaker 4: And they, they just still can't seem to think that
- 1:03:09Speaker 4: people are leaving us. They're like, no, they're not. i
- 1:03:13Speaker 4: think i think they are absolutely but i mean yeah
- 1:03:17Speaker 4: hollywood though you know with the equipment the way it
- 1:03:20Speaker 4: is now and and you know movies can happen anywhere
- 1:03:24Speaker 4: now you don't have to have a studio you don't
- 1:03:26Speaker 4: have to have you can have your cell phone and
- 1:03:28Speaker 4: make make your own movie now or make your own
- 1:03:31Speaker 4: show and so that it just made it easy and
- 1:03:33Speaker 4: everybody said wait a minute we don't have to be
- 1:03:35Speaker 4: here so let's not candy right well.
- 1:03:38Speaker 5: I mean uh A couple of the ones I worked
- 1:03:42Speaker 5: on was in Rosarito Beach, which is just south of
- 1:03:45Speaker 5: San Diego. James Cameron built that huge place down there
- 1:03:50Speaker 5: for Titanic. It was incredible because it's so expensive. The
- 1:04:00Speaker 5: Mexican film crews down there, they worked for peanuts compared
- 1:04:06Speaker 5: to you know, what they would have.
- 1:04:08Speaker 2: To pay just to end the taxes in California.
- 1:04:12Speaker 3: You know, Jen, you make an interesting point. You talk
- 1:04:14Speaker 3: about movies and all that, right? Well, think about it.
- 1:04:18Speaker 3: Gambling used to be Vegas. Now it's all over the place, too.
- 1:04:21Speaker 3: So there's an interesting comparison. Let's turn it over to Katie.
- 1:04:23Speaker 3: You got a couple more topics I want to try
- 1:04:25Speaker 3: to get to and make this show even crazier than
- 1:04:28Speaker 3: it already is.
- 1:04:29Speaker 2: Okay, go ahead. So a couple of different points.
- 1:04:34Speaker 6: One, didn't we say Sam Darnold paid to play in
- 1:04:38Speaker 6: the Super Bowl because what he won, he had to
- 1:04:40Speaker 6: pay back in taxes because he actually practiced there for, what,
- 1:04:44Speaker 6: a week or something like that?
- 1:04:46Speaker 2: A week before the Super Bowl, yes. See?
- 1:04:49Speaker 4: Got to pay for that week.
- 1:04:50Speaker 6: So the other thing I will say is Shark Tank
- 1:04:53Speaker 6: is not the only one that has recently moved. American
- 1:04:57Speaker 6: Idol has moved to Atlanta. That's one of the big ones.
- 1:05:03Speaker 6: The Masked Singer has moved to New Jersey. Lego Masters
- 1:05:08Speaker 6: has moved. Family Feud and Celebrity Family Feud have also
- 1:05:13Speaker 6: relocated to Atlanta because, let's face it, the state's film
- 1:05:20Speaker 6: and television tax credit program has expanded to include unscripted fare,
- 1:05:24Speaker 6: but there's a catch. Those competition shows must have a
- 1:05:27Speaker 6: budget of more than $ 1 million per episode. That makes
- 1:05:30Speaker 6: it difficult to qualify even for major shows like American Idol,
- 1:05:35Speaker 6: and that's in California to have them. The incentives still don't...
- 1:05:40Speaker 6: They're just not as good. In Georgia, tax incentives require
- 1:05:43Speaker 6: a total production spend of $ 500, 000, making it way more
- 1:05:47Speaker 6: attractive for shows like American Idol and Shark Tank. The
- 1:05:53Speaker 6: reality is they're moving it out of Hollywood.
- 1:05:57Speaker 2: Vancouver's a big hub now, too. Yeah, that's true.
- 1:06:01Speaker 7: I've heard that.
- 1:06:02Speaker 2: All right. Anybody ever heard of Mark Cuban?
- 1:06:05Speaker 3: Yep.
- 1:06:06Speaker 2: Well, guess what?
- 1:06:07Speaker 3: He's the next topic on The Price is Right.
- 1:06:12Speaker 4: Because he fell in line with Shark Tank, right?
- 1:06:15Speaker 3: Or that too, Mark Cuban. Well, we're going to give
- 1:06:17Speaker 3: you a little bit of his story because I'll tell
- 1:06:19Speaker 3: you one thing. The guy was a genius. Mark Cuban
- 1:06:22Speaker 3: did not start out with money, connections, or comfort. He
- 1:06:25Speaker 3: started with small sales, cheap rent, and light wear, even
- 1:06:29Speaker 3: basic things felt expensive. Turning point came after he was
- 1:06:33Speaker 3: fired from a software sales job, which pushed him into
- 1:06:36Speaker 3: micro solutions. Broadcast.com made him a billionaire, but protecting his
- 1:06:41Speaker 3: money before the dot-com crash may have just been as
- 1:06:44Speaker 3: important as making it. And we know about the towel story.
- 1:06:47Speaker 3: Let's go over the particulars with this. I don't know
- 1:06:50Speaker 3: if we've talked about before. We're going to refresh everybody
- 1:06:52Speaker 3: by doing it again. Cuban later shared one lesson that
- 1:06:56Speaker 3: defined his career in business. You can only You only
- 1:06:59Speaker 3: have to be right once, one single time, and you
- 1:07:03Speaker 3: are set for life. Sometimes one decision changes everything. He
- 1:07:07Speaker 3: didn't buy watches or sports cars. Instead, Cuban bought the fluffiest,
- 1:07:13Speaker 3: plushest towels he could find because he had spent years
- 1:07:17Speaker 3: using his old damaged ones. For him, those towels represented success.
- 1:07:23Speaker 3: One of the most surprising parts of the story happened
- 1:07:26Speaker 3: before all the billions. Cuban finally had over $ 1, 000 in
- 1:07:28Speaker 3: his bank account for the first time. In 2000, Cuban
- 1:07:33Speaker 3: bought the Dallas Mavericks for $ 285 million. At the time,
- 1:07:37Speaker 3: the franchise was struggling. When David Stern got done finding them,
- 1:07:41Speaker 3: who knows how much it went up there because all
- 1:07:43Speaker 3: he did was go on the court and become a problem.
- 1:07:45Speaker 3: But over the next decade, he transformed the team into
- 1:07:47Speaker 3: an NBA powerhouse, eventually winning the championship in 2011. What
- 1:07:53Speaker 3: made the story even more impressive was that of what
- 1:07:56Speaker 3: happened next. Instead of holding the Yahoo stock and hoping
- 1:08:00Speaker 3: it would rise.
- 1:08:01Speaker 2: Further, Cuban sold his shares quickly.
- 1:08:03Speaker 3: Shortly after the dot-com bubble crashed and Yahoo's value collapsed,
- 1:08:08Speaker 3: that decision protected most of his fortune. The timing wasn't perfect,
- 1:08:13Speaker 3: but the dot-com boom, broadcast.com exploded. In 1999, Yahoo bought
- 1:08:18Speaker 3: the company. For $ 5. 7 billion in stock, Mark Cuban officially
- 1:08:27Speaker 3: became a millionaire. But his biggest move came in 1999
- 1:08:32Speaker 3: when Cuban and Todd Wagner launched Broadcast.com, an internet streaming company.
- 1:08:37Speaker 3: At the time, streaming online content was still a new idea.
- 1:08:41Speaker 3: After getting fired, he started his own computer consulting company
- 1:08:45Speaker 3: called MicroSolutions. The business grew fast. In 1990, he sold
- 1:08:49Speaker 3: at the CompuServe for around $ 6 million. Then came the
- 1:08:52Speaker 3: moment that changed his life. Cuban left work to close
- 1:08:56Speaker 3: a $ 15, 000 sale instead of rewarding him. his boss fired
- 1:09:02Speaker 3: him for disobeying orders. Years later, Cuban called it the
- 1:09:06Speaker 3: determining factor in his business life. Eventually, Cuban got a
- 1:09:09Speaker 3: job selling software at a company called Your Business Software.
- 1:09:14Speaker 3: For the first time, he started making decent money through commissions.
- 1:09:18Speaker 3: His towels were so old and damaged that he later
- 1:09:20Speaker 3: joked they'd stand.
- 1:09:21Speaker 2: On their own.
- 1:09:22Speaker 3: That's how little money he had. In his early 20s,
- 1:09:26Speaker 3: Cuban moved to Dallas with $ 60 in his pocket. He
- 1:09:29Speaker 3: shared a small three-bedroom apartment with five roommates. The rent
- 1:09:33Speaker 3: was only $ 600 between.
- 1:09:34Speaker 2: All of them.
- 1:09:35Speaker 3: He didn't even have his own room. Most nights, he
- 1:09:37Speaker 3: slept on the couch or the floor. After graduating from
- 1:09:40Speaker 3: Indiana University, he worked briefly at Mellon Bank. But he
- 1:09:45Speaker 3: hated being controlled, so he moved to Dallas looking for
- 1:09:48Speaker 3: better opportunities. Before the billions, Cuban was obsessed with business
- 1:09:52Speaker 3: from childhood. At age 12, he sold garbage bags door
- 1:09:57Speaker 3: to door. My goodness, let's get that. Garbage bags were
- 1:10:01Speaker 3: already hit plus the fouls. Later, he sold stamps, coins,
- 1:10:05Speaker 3: and even started a small newspaper business during a local strike.
- 1:10:09Speaker 3: Mark Cuban wants it. Had just $ 60 sedan. He lived
- 1:10:12Speaker 3: in tiny apartments, slept on the floor, and worked random
- 1:10:16Speaker 3: to survive. Years later, he became a billionaire. There you
- 1:10:20Speaker 3: have it, people. This is the Mark Cuban story. Go ahead, Steve.
- 1:10:24Speaker 2: What stands out?
- 1:10:26Speaker 5: Well, the fact that he didn't come from money, and
- 1:10:31Speaker 5: he wasn't an immediate.
- 1:10:35Speaker 2: Success.
- 1:10:36Speaker 5: He tried and failed at several things. until he found,
- 1:10:41Speaker 5: you know, his own niche. And good for him, right?
- 1:10:45Speaker 5: I mean, he invested in himself. And, you know, it
- 1:10:51Speaker 5: paid off in spades for him. I don't agree with
- 1:10:55Speaker 5: a lot of his antics, especially with his basketball team.
- 1:10:59Speaker 2: But, you know, that's who he is. And kudos to him.
- 1:11:05Speaker 2: Go ahead, Ed.
- 1:11:07Speaker 8: I think, well, first of all, The garbage bag door
- 1:11:11Speaker 8: to door, I think, is, you know, that takes Moxie
- 1:11:15Speaker 8: back in the day because he's our age.
- 1:11:18Speaker 7: No, he's actually a little bit older. He was born
- 1:11:19Speaker 7: in 58.
- 1:11:20Speaker 8: But I also read here he sold disco lessons to pay.
- 1:11:25Speaker 8: He's a University of Indiana graduate, graduating in 81. So
- 1:11:30Speaker 8: he raised money to go to school selling disco lessons.
- 1:11:34Speaker 8: You know, I think Mark Cuban is the epitome of,
- 1:11:37Speaker 8: you know, you don't let failure stop you. I mean,
- 1:11:41Speaker 8: you just say, okay. And I think that's what a
- 1:11:44Speaker 8: lot of, I think there's a lot of lessons in his,
- 1:11:48Speaker 8: he's self-made.
- 1:11:50Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:11:50Speaker 8: He didn't go and spend everything. He still, now he
- 1:11:54Speaker 8: has nice stuff and he does all this now. And
- 1:11:56Speaker 8: I mean, he's worth billions and billions, but as he
- 1:11:58Speaker 8: was going through that process, when he, when he made
- 1:12:01Speaker 8: the millions, he didn't do with some sports athletes that's
- 1:12:05Speaker 8: called spade to spade. go out and they buy all
- 1:12:07Speaker 8: these lavish things and then they get injured and they're,
- 1:12:10Speaker 8: you know, they, they end up on the wrong side.
- 1:12:13Speaker 7: They don't.
- 1:12:13Speaker 8: And before anybody gets all anybody watching, there are guys
- 1:12:18Speaker 8: who do the right thing.
- 1:12:21Speaker 7: But no, I think it's great. Yeah. His antics are
- 1:12:24Speaker 7: a little goofy.
- 1:12:25Speaker 8: He now, I don't know if you said this Scott,
- 1:12:28Speaker 8: he now, he started cost plus drugs in 2022 generic
- 1:12:31Speaker 8: drugs at, Generic's at cost plus 15%, cutting out the
- 1:12:38Speaker 8: pharmacy middleman, and his net worth is approximately $ 6 billion
- 1:12:44Speaker 8: from Ford. Nice. If you look at the stories, we've
- 1:12:52Speaker 8: talked about Messi, we've talked about Ronaldo, we've talked about Kubin.
- 1:12:56Speaker 8: What do all three of them have in common? They
- 1:12:59Speaker 8: came from nothing, and they're really self-made, and they had setbacks.
- 1:13:04Speaker 8: And it shows, you know, to be successful, you're gonna,
- 1:13:07Speaker 8: it's not, the straight to the moon doesn't happen often,
- 1:13:13Speaker 8: if ever.
- 1:13:14Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:13:14Speaker 4: Resilience, I think is just honestly the key to success is,
- 1:13:18Speaker 4: I mean, my favorite song is Chubba Wubba Tum Tum thing.
- 1:13:21Speaker 4: I get not.
- 1:13:22Speaker 2: Yes. Yeah.
- 1:13:23Speaker 7: Yes.
- 1:13:24Speaker 4: And that's, that's not only Mark Cuban. I mean, but like,
- 1:13:28Speaker 4: he's the thing I like about him the most is
- 1:13:30Speaker 4: that he's willing to share. He shares his knowledge. He
- 1:13:33Speaker 4: shares ideas. He shares things. He's got good books, how
- 1:13:37Speaker 4: to win at business and then how to win at the,
- 1:13:39Speaker 4: you know, the sport of business or something like that. And,
- 1:13:42Speaker 4: And then he's got one for kids. And I like
- 1:13:45Speaker 4: that he's done it. And he's saying, you know what?
- 1:13:48Speaker 4: A kid, you want to be an entrepreneur? Here's how
- 1:13:50Speaker 4: you do it. And he's setting kids up because in
- 1:13:52Speaker 4: today's world, I mean, I don't, I'm not so much
- 1:13:56Speaker 4: a fan of turning your child into an adult so soon.
- 1:13:59Speaker 4: You know what I mean? I'm really not. But there
- 1:14:01Speaker 4: are some kids that are just ambitious like that. And
- 1:14:04Speaker 4: it's like, give them the tools. Let them, you know,
- 1:14:06Speaker 4: let them do it. I do worry about some of
- 1:14:08Speaker 4: those kids, like what's their excitement going to be as
- 1:14:11Speaker 4: they get older? Because I've met some of those geniuses
- 1:14:14Speaker 4: like Lucky Palmer who sold Ocularis, you know, the VR
- 1:14:18Speaker 4: glasses and he sold them to Meta for, I forget
- 1:14:20Speaker 4: how many billions, like 2 billion or something like that
- 1:14:22Speaker 4: or more than that.
- 1:14:23Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 1:14:24Speaker 4: Way back in the day, he was like 20 years
- 1:14:26Speaker 4: old or 21 years old. Now he's like early 30s
- 1:14:30Speaker 4: and he's doing massive drones for the military. I mean,
- 1:14:33Speaker 4: this guy is just a brilliant brain. And then I've
- 1:14:36Speaker 4: met some other really brilliant brains through him. He doesn't
- 1:14:40Speaker 4: know me. I know him. I've been to his house.
- 1:14:43Speaker 4: He's not been to mine. But there was one kid
- 1:14:45Speaker 4: he had up there and he was 24 years old.
- 1:14:51Speaker 4: And he said he was interning and I forget if
- 1:14:53Speaker 4: it was like Bugatti or, but it was those high-end cars,
- 1:14:57Speaker 4: you know? And he's like, yeah, have you ever find
- 1:14:59Speaker 4: yourself on the bottom of a, and I forget which
- 1:15:01Speaker 4: one it was, but we'll just use Bugatti for now.
- 1:15:02Speaker 4: You know, you ever find yourself on the bottom of one,
- 1:15:04Speaker 4: you'll probably see one of the pieces I created when
- 1:15:06Speaker 4: I was either 14, 15 or 16 years old.
- 1:15:09Speaker 2: What?
- 1:15:11Speaker 4: These are just different kinds of people. So like, again,
- 1:15:15Speaker 4: the genius, like so way early on, Mark didn't necessarily
- 1:15:18Speaker 4: have that, but he certainly had resilience and he just
- 1:15:20Speaker 4: kept going. kept going and kept figuring things out. And,
- 1:15:24Speaker 4: you know, smart guy put it to work.
- 1:15:25Speaker 7: Good for him.
- 1:15:26Speaker 3: The only thing I'll say about Mark Cuban, he's a
- 1:15:29Speaker 3: true businessman. He came from next to nothing. He's an
- 1:15:33Speaker 3: entrepreneur in every sense of the world. I remember there
- 1:15:35Speaker 3: was an event that Candy and I went to called
- 1:15:37Speaker 3: Podcast Movement, and I was sitting in a lecture of him,
- 1:15:40Speaker 3: and he had an idea, and he was a smart person.
- 1:15:43Speaker 2: Go ahead, Candy.
- 1:15:45Speaker 6: Do you know that Mark Cuban is in the Guinness
- 1:15:48Speaker 6: Book of Records crediting him with the largest single e-commerce
- 1:15:55Speaker 6: transaction after he purchased a Gulfstream V jet for $ 40
- 1:16:01Speaker 6: million over the internet back in October of 99, 99,
- 1:16:10Speaker 6: $ 40 million.
- 1:16:11Speaker 2: Wow.
- 1:16:13Speaker 6: I mean, the thing that stands out obviously is, is
- 1:16:17Speaker 6: how he comes from humble beginnings. Like his dad was, uh,
- 1:16:21Speaker 6: was a, um, upholsterer and his mom, he was an
- 1:16:27Speaker 6: automobile upholsterer. His mom, he describes his mom, Shirley, as
- 1:16:32Speaker 6: someone with a different job or a different career goal
- 1:16:35Speaker 6: every other week. Um, he grew up Jewish. He grew
- 1:16:39Speaker 6: up in, um, Mount Lebanon, an affluent suburb of Pittsburgh
- 1:16:44Speaker 6: in a working class family. Um, but yeah, he sold
- 1:16:48Speaker 6: garbage bags to pay, to, buy a pair of expensive sneakers,
- 1:16:53Speaker 6: and a few years later, he earned money by selling
- 1:16:56Speaker 6: stamps and coins. At age 16, he took advantage of
- 1:17:00Speaker 6: a Pittsburgh Post-Cazette strike by running newspapers from Cleveland to Pittsburgh.
- 1:17:08Speaker 2: How smart was that?
- 1:17:09Speaker 3: I want to say hello to Javier Molina in the
- 1:17:11Speaker 3: tent room from X. Go ahead, Katie.
- 1:17:15Speaker 6: And he went to Yes, he went to school and
- 1:17:21Speaker 6: transferred to Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana, where he graduated
- 1:17:24Speaker 6: from the Kelly School of Business in 1981. He chose
- 1:17:29Speaker 6: Indiana's Kelly School of Business without even visiting the campus
- 1:17:32Speaker 6: because it had the least expensive tuition of all the
- 1:17:37Speaker 6: business schools in the top 10 list. And then he
- 1:17:41Speaker 6: had various business ventures during college, including a bar, disco lessons,
- 1:17:45Speaker 6: chain letters, etc. Yeah, he did take a job with
- 1:17:51Speaker 6: Mellon Bank. He didn't like it because it was the
- 1:17:54Speaker 6: old manual process. It was before the computers really went.
- 1:17:57Speaker 6: Because it was such a small regional bank that he
- 1:18:00Speaker 6: didn't like that.
- 1:18:01Speaker 2: So he's like, that's enough for me.
- 1:18:03Speaker 6: But to come from that and to be where he
- 1:18:07Speaker 6: is today, you have to do a couple things right.
- 1:18:11Speaker 7: That's true.
- 1:18:12Speaker 2: All right.
- 1:18:13Speaker 3: Well, we've got one more topic to talk about. Not
- 1:18:15Speaker 3: with Matthew Detroit Lyons, but you know what? We are
- 1:18:19Speaker 3: talking about lions.
- 1:18:21Speaker 2: How about that? Ready? Dark facts.
- 1:18:25Speaker 3: You probably didn't know about lions.
- 1:18:27Speaker 2: Oh, my goodness. Destroy lions. They're nice.
- 1:18:30Speaker 3: They don't want anything. The last time they did was
- 1:18:34Speaker 3: on my birthday, December 29, 1957. I was five years
- 1:18:39Speaker 3: not born.
- 1:18:39Speaker 2: Okay, ready?
- 1:18:40Speaker 3: Let's go to the scoreboard. When a new male lion
- 1:18:43Speaker 3: takes over a pride, his first move is to hunt
- 1:18:48Speaker 3: down and execute all the existing cubs.
- 1:18:51Speaker 2: Oh, that's not nice.
- 1:18:54Speaker 3: Two lions with pitch black manes are the most dangerous.
- 1:18:58Speaker 3: It means they have supreme testosterone, fight more, and heal
- 1:19:03Speaker 3: faster from wounds. I have to look at these pictures
- 1:19:08Speaker 3: to describe this stuff yet. Three, lions and hyenas don't
- 1:19:11Speaker 3: just fight for food. They wage a literal blood feud.
- 1:19:15Speaker 3: Lions will go out of their way to kill a
- 1:19:19Speaker 3: hyena queen just to destroy their clan's future. I'll tell
- 1:19:22Speaker 3: you one thing. When you watch The Lion King the
- 1:19:24Speaker 3: next night, now you understand how much hyenas and lions
- 1:19:29Speaker 3: just don't like each other. Now after watching this, it's ridiculous.
- 1:19:32Speaker 2: Oh, my God. Cool stuff, though.
- 1:19:34Speaker 3: They utilize thunderstorms to hunt. The noise of the rain
- 1:19:37Speaker 3: and thunder match their footsteps, letting them ambush prey in
- 1:19:41Speaker 3: total chaos. At five, at night, a lion's vision is
- 1:19:46Speaker 3: six times better than a human. They see you clearly
- 1:19:50Speaker 3: in pitch blackness while you are completely blind. At six,
- 1:19:57Speaker 3: a lion's roar can reach 114 decibels. It is loud
- 1:20:01Speaker 3: enough to be heard five miles away. It can literally
- 1:20:04Speaker 3: paralyze small prey with fear.
- 1:20:06Speaker 2: I can imagine that.
- 1:20:07Speaker 3: Seven male lions sleep for up to 20 hours a day.
- 1:20:09Speaker 3: They let the females do all the hard work, but
- 1:20:12Speaker 3: when they wake up, it is only time to fight
- 1:20:15Speaker 3: or kill.
- 1:20:16Speaker 7: Oh, my goodness.
- 1:20:17Speaker 3: Eight, there's no peaceful old age for a king. When
- 1:20:20Speaker 3: a male lion gets too old or weak to fight,
- 1:20:24Speaker 3: he is brutally chased down by his own family or
- 1:20:27Speaker 3: eaten alive by hyenas. Nine, a lion's rough tongue is
- 1:20:33Speaker 3: covered in tiny, sharp hooks called papillae.
- 1:20:38Speaker 2: Okay?
- 1:20:39Speaker 3: Their tongue is so sharp, it can literally lick the
- 1:20:42Speaker 3: skin and meat off a carcass bones. Ten, we call
- 1:20:47Speaker 3: them kings, but the savannah is a dictatorship ruled by
- 1:20:51Speaker 3: pure violence.
- 1:20:52Speaker 2: All right.
- 1:20:53Speaker 3: How about that? We get the lion king in here.
- 1:20:56Speaker 3: We get Aiello's sneak.
- 1:20:58Speaker 2: Take it away.
- 1:20:59Speaker 5: Yeah, in fact, that's very true. When I was in
- 1:21:06Speaker 5: Africa years ago, there was a big thing about the
- 1:21:11Speaker 5: male lions killing all the cubs. And so they, for
- 1:21:15Speaker 5: a time, they were taking the lion cubs away from
- 1:21:20Speaker 5: the pride, not taming them, keeping them wild, but keeping
- 1:21:25Speaker 5: them safe until they were able to function on their own. So,
- 1:21:30Speaker 5: like a moron, Steve paid money to jump in the
- 1:21:35Speaker 5: cage with the lion cubs.
- 1:21:38Speaker 7: What?
- 1:21:39Speaker 2: Oh, wow. And I was.
- 1:21:41Speaker 5: Wrestling with them and roughhousing with them, and I was
- 1:21:44Speaker 5: having a blast. And then, of course, this one guy says, oh,
- 1:21:48Speaker 5: pick them up, and I'll take your picture.
- 1:21:51Speaker 2: Oh.
- 1:21:52Speaker 7: That was probably not a good idea.
- 1:21:55Speaker 2: Not a good idea.
- 1:21:57Speaker 5: One of the worst in my life at that point.
- 1:22:01Speaker 5: Because when all four feet came off the ground, he
- 1:22:06Speaker 5: turned into a 65-pound lion.
- 1:22:11Speaker 1: Oh.
- 1:22:12Speaker 8: Wow.
- 1:22:12Speaker 4: Right in your face. Well, I don't see stars for you.
- 1:22:16Speaker 2: He went ballistic on me.
- 1:22:19Speaker 3: Oh.
- 1:22:20Speaker 5: But I do have a picture of me the moment
- 1:22:22Speaker 5: I pulled him off the ground.
- 1:22:23Speaker 2: I'll have to dig it up. I'll be able to
- 1:22:25Speaker 2: find it. Wow.
- 1:22:28Speaker 5: But that was, I mean, up until that point, it
- 1:22:32Speaker 5: was a blast. And they are so big. I mean,
- 1:22:35Speaker 5: even as Cubs, at that point, they were about 65 pounds.
- 1:22:39Speaker 2: But they're like this big.
- 1:22:42Speaker 4: Oh, my goodness.
- 1:22:43Speaker 5: And they were so cool. I mean, it was just,
- 1:22:46Speaker 5: it was like wrestling with the big cat. Because they
- 1:22:50Speaker 5: were still young enough.
- 1:22:52Speaker 2: It was just play and all that.
- 1:22:53Speaker 7: They still had great big teeth. As they say, heavy
- 1:23:02Speaker 7: is the head that wears the crown. The king, they're
- 1:23:09Speaker 7: basically the protector.
- 1:23:11Speaker 8: He goes after the Cubs because he knows that they're
- 1:23:14Speaker 8: a threat to him as they get older for the dominance.
- 1:23:19Speaker 7: He does all his work. He sleeps for 20 hours.
- 1:23:24Speaker 7: And he just sits there and then eats. And he protects.
- 1:23:28Speaker 7: What else do you want a male to do? What
- 1:23:31Speaker 7: should he do?
- 1:23:32Speaker 8: And then to say thank you when he's getting older,
- 1:23:36Speaker 8: they run his backside out of town.
- 1:23:41Speaker 7: That is just ungrateful family. And they give him to
- 1:23:45Speaker 7: the hyenas.
- 1:23:47Speaker 8: Yeah. I had seen something on the hyenas and the
- 1:23:52Speaker 8: lion's That's like the Crips and the Bloods.
- 1:23:55Speaker 7: They just don't.
- 1:23:58Speaker 2: Like you.
- 1:23:58Speaker 7: They're not friends.
- 1:24:01Speaker 4: It's the saddest thing when a male lion gets old
- 1:24:05Speaker 4: and he starves to death or he gets attacked and
- 1:24:09Speaker 4: eaten or he starves until he can't fight. It's awful.
- 1:24:13Speaker 4: It's awful what they do. Yeah, I know. That's one
- 1:24:16Speaker 4: of the things that really, really bothers me. Lions are interesting.
- 1:24:21Speaker 4: I am a lion. Leo the lion, hear me roar.
- 1:24:24Speaker 4: And so I love lions, except for that last part.
- 1:24:27Speaker 4: That really does. That's the only one thing I was
- 1:24:29Speaker 4: going to say about lions that I do know about.
- 1:24:31Speaker 6: I don't know.
- 1:24:33Speaker 4: They oust the one guy and then they take over. Yeah,
- 1:24:36Speaker 4: because I mean. That just goes to show how fragile
- 1:24:38Speaker 4: some male egos are. Probably Leo, the lion egos. Maybe
- 1:24:41Speaker 4: I shouldn't take those guys because they got to be
- 1:24:44Speaker 4: the one and only. They can't even have a son
- 1:24:46Speaker 4: around for goodness sakes, a stepson or anything like that's
- 1:24:50Speaker 4: kind of a problem.
- 1:24:51Speaker 6: Well, did you know that we've talked about lions eat
- 1:24:58Speaker 6: a lot of food. They can eat up to 40 kilograms,
- 1:25:01Speaker 6: nearly a quarter of their body weight in one meal.
- 1:25:06Speaker 6: one meal a quarter of their body the other thing
- 1:25:09Speaker 6: is is lions do not chew their food instead using
- 1:25:13Speaker 6: their long canine teeth to grab and kill their prey
- 1:25:17Speaker 6: and their sharp teeth at the back of the mouth
- 1:25:19Speaker 6: to tear it into chunks so they can swallow it.
- 1:25:24Speaker 4: Oh wow oh yeah that tongue i was going to
- 1:25:26Speaker 4: talk about the tongue because you know when a cat
- 1:25:28Speaker 4: licks you it's kind of like it feels like it's
- 1:25:30Speaker 4: that roughness you know so i guess imagine that on
- 1:25:32Speaker 4: steroids in the lion tongue it's just like got set
- 1:25:35Speaker 4: i could rip the meat right on oh no thank
- 1:25:36Speaker 4: you i'm.
- 1:25:37Speaker 7: Glad you said that i didn't i didn't know about
- 1:25:39Speaker 7: the lion mane being black show like a dominant award
- 1:25:44Speaker 7: that that was that was something i had not heard
- 1:25:47Speaker 7: again learning stuff on your show scott always learning education.
- 1:25:51Speaker 3: I'm telling you that's why this guy's a dedicated part

- 1:26:23Speaker 3: have anything else they want to say nope what topic
- 1:26:27Speaker 3: stood out to you.
- 1:26:29Speaker 4: I don't know. Should we still ride roller coasters? Are
- 1:26:32Speaker 4: roller coasters still safe? That's what I want to know
- 1:26:35Speaker 4: because there have been a lot of people falling out
- 1:26:37Speaker 4: of roller coasters over the last few years.
- 1:26:39Speaker 2: Yeah, and it hasn't been a good week for Six Flags.
- 1:26:43Speaker 7: No.
- 1:26:44Speaker 4: And you got to wonder. I mean, they shut down
- 1:26:46Speaker 4: the other coaster, Ghost or whatever, because people were getting
- 1:26:50Speaker 4: brain damage again. And there's like over 100 recorded, so
- 1:26:55Speaker 4: you know how many others didn't. That's a lot of
- 1:26:58Speaker 4: brain damage from a roller coaster. One ride and now
- 1:27:01Speaker 4: you're done.
- 1:27:02Speaker 2: Wow. You know what?
- 1:27:05Speaker 8: You're going to have to give us, if you want
- 1:27:08Speaker 8: to know what stood out, you're going to have to
- 1:27:09Speaker 8: give us just the recap of the topics.
- 1:27:11Speaker 7: Not all the details, but it could be like lines, travel.
- 1:27:16Speaker 3: All you want out there, you've got creepy places out there.
- 1:27:19Speaker 3: We've got the Sky Stadium. We have the Shark Tank business.
- 1:27:23Speaker 3: We have Mark Cuban. We have Founding Fathers. Can't forget
- 1:27:26Speaker 3: our president, no matter how they go. And then we
- 1:27:28Speaker 3: talked about Lions. We talked about a little bit of K2.
- 1:27:31Speaker 2: And then we talked about Boston.
- 1:27:34Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 1:27:34Speaker 8: They were all, I mean, everything was good because it
- 1:27:37Speaker 8: all led to a good conversation.
- 1:27:39Speaker 7: It all slid out to me.
- 1:27:42Speaker 5: Scott, this was a wicked pisser show.
- 1:27:48Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
- 1:27:48Speaker 7: Bring in the Boston.

- 1:28:14Speaker 7: Watching the Pats game.
- 1:28:17Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I don't know.
- 1:28:18Speaker 3: It's just one of those kind of deals where you
- 1:28:20Speaker 3: just tell yourself, you know what? I look at these things.
- 1:28:24Speaker 3: I measure everything on time. And whatever I have on
- 1:28:27Speaker 3: my list, I carry over to the next show. I
- 1:28:29Speaker 3: make sure we have enough topics to keep it real,
- 1:28:31Speaker 3: whether it's animals, whether it's travel, whether it's places. To me,
- 1:28:35Speaker 3: I think the thing I took, I, my takeaway was
- 1:28:38Speaker 3: a creepy town, the creepy places, you know, I know
- 1:28:41Speaker 3: where I want to take candy. I know where I
- 1:28:43Speaker 3: don't want to take her and Elton, Ohio is not
- 1:28:46Speaker 3: getting my endorsement. What about you Candace, before we wrap
- 1:28:50Speaker 3: it up, what stood out to you?
- 1:28:52Speaker 6: You know, I mean, a lot of it, uh, I think, uh,
- 1:28:58Speaker 6: Just the conversations that we've had, you know, the feline,
- 1:29:01Speaker 6: the bridal, you know, since 1947. The 3 a.m. and
- 1:29:08Speaker 6: what are we going to eat after bar time? And
- 1:29:11Speaker 6: everybody's got a different place because everybody's from different places.
- 1:29:14Speaker 3: I'll think about that. I drank water through an ice
- 1:29:18Speaker 3: cube out in Juarez, Mexico.
- 1:29:21Speaker 2: That wasn't fun.
- 1:29:22Speaker 3: Bill Walton wasn't any good as a dog.
- 1:29:26Speaker 2: I mean, you know, and then we talk about senior,
- 1:29:28Speaker 2: any senior, it's time to get some information. Shalom, senior.
- 1:29:33Speaker 3: For my Jewish friends, you know, I know I don't
- 1:29:34Speaker 3: pronounce it right when I have to, but on this show,
- 1:29:37Speaker 3: it's the AG network called Anything Go.
- 1:29:40Speaker 4: Anything Go. I didn't know there were so many toxic
- 1:29:44Speaker 4: places around, but I did know haunted, but I didn't
- 1:29:46Speaker 4: know those haunted, and I didn't know there were so many,
- 1:29:48Speaker 4: and I certainly didn't know there were toxic, like, on
- 1:29:52Speaker 4: top of you.
- 1:29:54Speaker 2: Just think about... And then our president's.
- 1:29:56Speaker 4: Dying on the same day.
