00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:04.599
Oh boy, my favorite version of
that song. This only Ray Charles can

2
00:00:04.639 --> 00:00:09.679
do it. Eighty years ago today, the Nazis said, come get some,

3
00:00:10.359 --> 00:00:13.080
and we said okay. In America
said you want a piece of this?

4
00:00:13.359 --> 00:00:17.600
All right, all right, we're
coming yep, and we're gonna do

5
00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:19.760
it. And don't get mad about
what we're about to do to you.

6
00:00:19.839 --> 00:00:22.719
Yes, oh, come get some. Oh okay, well, okay,

7
00:00:22.719 --> 00:00:27.640
we're gonna do that. You want
some? Yes, yes, today,

8
00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:32.280
eighty years ago the longest day of
the Allied invasion of Europe, Operation Overlord.

9
00:00:33.359 --> 00:00:38.640
Now, let's not the men and
women. Yes, there were women

10
00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:46.320
there too, involved in this,
including the resistance in Europe, the French,

11
00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:51.280
French, we're helping all this.
Yes, so they did their part.

12
00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:55.679
We did our part. But understand, Operation Overlord was not a huge

13
00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:59.560
longest success. The first day.
Yes, we did the pinprick and we

14
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:03.159
got it and we opened the door
to France. But it was in some

15
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:11.959
operations a disaster for where these guys
were dropped. So the the overcoming adversity

16
00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:15.840
of landing and then hooking up with
other companies and other other you got you

17
00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:21.239
got army rangers dropped behind an enemy
lines. I mean right, and they're

18
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:26.000
just hooking up some If you watch
Bandon Brothers, Lieutenant what's his name?

19
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:32.079
Oh my god, Tenant Winters lost
his rifle on their jomp, so he

20
00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:37.079
has no rifle to start the engagement. So again as much as it was

21
00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:42.959
because it's just too big, right. So twelve hundred planes, yeah,

22
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:48.879
one of which my grandfather was on. Five oh my god, five thousand

23
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:55.719
vessels. Five thousand. Now if
you see five hundred boats out on shore,

24
00:01:55.840 --> 00:01:57.920
you're like, what is going on? Can you imagine those guys on

25
00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:02.959
the beach going what what is five? They appear right as the sun is

26
00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:07.879
coming up, and five thousand ships
are there with planes going over top.

27
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:10.240
That's back when you could sneak five
thousand ships up on people. Right,

28
00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:15.400
Yes, right, they used that. There was still some bad weather going

29
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:19.520
on on on June six, not
as bad as two days or two days

30
00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:21.879
prior when they originally canceled it when
it was supposed to go, and they

31
00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:24.120
canceled it to wait for the weather, but they kind of used the cloud

32
00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:28.599
cover overnight to slide all those ships
in, and they had all these inflatable

33
00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:31.080
planes and tanks trying to say it's
coming from over here. Don't don't worry

34
00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:34.759
about Normandy, it's up here.
That was, That was what Eisenhower.

35
00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:38.879
That was what Eisenhower used patent for. Patten was kind of in trouble.

36
00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:42.199
He was, and he had gotten
in trouble for slapping the soldiers. So

37
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:44.560
Eisenhower said, I want to put
you on the on the bench for a

38
00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:46.319
minute. But by the way,
I need you to do this. Established

39
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:50.680
a fake army group, the first
U S Army group, and put it

40
00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:53.960
right across from Klais, which was
the shortest point between England and France and

41
00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:59.800
their inflatable tanks. Rommel kept.
Rommel kept like half of the force that

42
00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:02.879
could have been used at Normandy in
the north because the Germans were terrified of

43
00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:06.120
Patent, right, Well, yeah, that's right, and that's why they

44
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:09.280
used him as the Red Harry.
Yes. So on June sixth, one

45
00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:15.080
hundred and sixty thousand troops across the
English Channel. Now too, just how

46
00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:21.840
much longer by the end of August. So just by the end of June

47
00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:27.680
sixth, end of August, two
million Allied troops were in France. We

48
00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:30.439
got that toe hold, which is
what we needed to do. That was

49
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:34.120
that was the you know, the
big win that we needed. We got

50
00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:38.000
that toe hold. We talk about
some of the miscues. Everybody knows about

51
00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:44.439
the airborne guys getting dropped in the
wrong places. There are armored tanks sitting

52
00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:46.520
at the bottom of the English Channel
that were that were supposed to swim and

53
00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:52.639
to provide armor support that got pushed
away from the rough seas and getting at

54
00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:54.240
the bottom of the channel. Right, And we talk about those gliders.

55
00:03:54.400 --> 00:04:00.639
Yeah, oh, they're not a
good idea, like in theory, yes,

56
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:03.039
but they get Like you and I
were talking before we be on the

57
00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:08.360
air the glider had okay in theory, and then they started adding things to

58
00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:11.080
the glider mission cre like, well
we need to put a jeep on there

59
00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:14.159
for Brigadier General guy. Okay,
well you can't put a jeep on a

60
00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:16.199
glider. What are you doing the
guy? The men on the on the

61
00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:20.079
on the plane are going to be
enough, so they tow them until they

62
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:23.879
get close to their drop and then
they just cut them loose. Well,

63
00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:27.000
some of them are so heavy they
just dropped out of the sky. Everyone

64
00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:30.240
on the plane died, Yeah,
including the general who had had his armor

65
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:34.279
plate correct. Yeah. Right,
So not everything went right today eighty years

66
00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:40.519
ago. But what went right was
getting the toe hold and getting getting in

67
00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:46.040
Europe and basically fooling the Germans that
we were going to go because again everyone

68
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:47.480
was like, yes, of course, you do the shortest trip. You

69
00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:54.279
do the ninety miles from the the
cliff of Dovers right there, right across.

70
00:04:54.319 --> 00:04:57.199
And they didn't soften up the defenses
on the beaches as much as they

71
00:04:57.199 --> 00:05:00.360
would have liked. No, they
did not. And the response by the

72
00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:05.360
Germans obviously was slowed because no one
wanted to wake up Hitler, right and

73
00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:10.279
one of them and then he laughed, yeah, I just watched another documentary

74
00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:13.279
on this and they said Hill like
bad dad, Bob he was. He

75
00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:15.519
was so cocky, they were.
He was like, I'm not worried about

76
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:19.480
this. Raml was off shopping for
his wife when the invasion happened. It

77
00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:23.000
had to get called and told,
hey, get to the beach, get

78
00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:27.600
your command posts. We've got trouble. And one of the one of the

79
00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:32.600
heroes of Normandy, believe it or
not, was the son of Teddy Roosevelt

80
00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:38.680
no Way. Roosevelt Junior was a
brigadier general and assistant division commander for fourth

81
00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:42.240
ID. He went ashore, even
though he was in bad health. He

82
00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:45.839
went ashore, saw some of the
disorganization, I want to say, on

83
00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:50.360
Omaha Beach and got it organized and
got the troops moving forward. He got

84
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:54.839
the Medal of Honor for that.
I remember seeing an interview with an old

85
00:05:54.839 --> 00:06:00.920
German soldier and he was talking about
once Japan woke us up in nineteen forty

86
00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:03.360
one and got us involved in everything. He said, we just lost the

87
00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:10.279
war. Yeah because the industrial complex. Yeah, sleeping for America and even

88
00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:13.279
I always say, I think one
of the best movies this past decade was

89
00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:17.120
Ford Versus Ferrari and Ford's son,
which was in charge of the time in

90
00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:20.959
the nineteen sixties. He was talking
to Shelby and says, come here,

91
00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:25.120
let me show you that little building
out there. Two out of three bombers

92
00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:30.279
came out of that building, right, he was Did Ike beat the Germans?

93
00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:35.680
No, Ford did so It's very
interesting. The entire story. To

94
00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:42.399
me, World War two is the
single greatest human achievement in human history.

95
00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:47.639
I can't think of another where so
many people were involved and not so many

96
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:53.399
people gave their lives. Yes,
it's incredible. I told you, we

97
00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:58.720
just watched a series about a small
island off France and all the people that

98
00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:01.040
were tortured on that island and for
years by the Nazis, and all those

99
00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:05.519
people that fought the Nazis and were
part of the resistance. And you think

100
00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:09.959
we don't even talk about that island, But the thousands of people lived on

101
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:13.920
the island that fought the four years
against the Nazis in the resistance, and

102
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:19.480
it was just world wide engagements of
fighting tyranny and the Nazis and the Japanese

103
00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:23.959
and everything else. It's crazy and
it's stupid. Italians. You mentioned,

104
00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:29.839
you mentioned bombers, So we made
about ten thousand Billy Mitchell be twenty five

105
00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:32.439
bombers. One of those is going
to be at bowman Field today today.

106
00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:36.079
Yes, taking up World War Two
veterans, seventeen eighteen of them something like

107
00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:40.600
that between ninety seven and one hundred
and one years of age. And you're

108
00:07:40.639 --> 00:07:44.279
welcome to go out and watch eleven
thirty, one thirty and three thirty are

109
00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:50.120
the takeoff time, So welcome them
home again. Yes, so we are

110
00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:55.600
now. The advent of the Internet
has made us all we're all desensitized to

111
00:07:55.800 --> 00:08:01.360
all. Really, it really has
to be something in incredible to effect you.

112
00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:03.800
And I say this because if people
say Hollywood is terrible and they don't

113
00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:09.480
do anything good, well saving Private
Ryan that first opening scene the people that

114
00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:15.079
landed in Normandy will tell you that
is as close yes as he gets.

115
00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:18.399
It bugged me for I wouldn't saw
it in the theater. It bugged me

116
00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:20.480
for an entire I thought about it
for three days. Ye, it rattled

117
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:22.800
me for a week. I thought
about it for three days. I mean

118
00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:26.839
you're gripping the side of the of
the movie theater chair and it's the first

119
00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:33.200
twenty minutes are is I mean the
ram comes down on the landing craft and

120
00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:37.480
guys foreheads are riddled with things the
side the first three rows were gone.

121
00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:41.639
Ye rams hit yeah, Yeah,
And I don't know how they swam with

122
00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:43.720
that stuff on a lot of them
drowned, yeah, but a lot of

123
00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:46.440
them what they did And you see
that in the movie that opening scene,

124
00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:50.960
they just jettisoned everything except for their
rifle. They jettisoned all of their web

125
00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:54.159
gear that they were wearing, that
they were loaded down with. You know,

126
00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:56.440
they'ree hundred pounds of stuff they were
supposed to hit the beach with.

127
00:08:56.919 --> 00:08:58.799
When they got off those boats early
because they saw what the German pill boxes

128
00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:01.279
were doing. They just dumped the
stuff and went over the side so they

129
00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:07.120
didn't drown. Wow. It's just
an incredible story. Some great movies out

130
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:09.720
of it, too, not just
saving Private Ryan, which stopped there and

131
00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:11.200
then they you know, they went
off to look for Ryan. The one

132
00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:15.639
I'm going to watch today is the
Longest Day. Yes, yeah, and

133
00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:20.639
it is the longest movie. A
Bridge too Far is good, but it

134
00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:24.679
is a bridge too long. It's
a bridge too long. You know.

135
00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:28.000
You're just like, Okay, I
know, I get it. Everybody that

136
00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:31.320
was a star in that at the
mid nineteen seventies was in this movie.

137
00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:35.879
But my lord, wrap it up. Okay. So today you could celebrate

138
00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:41.279
that by going out to see one
of these B twenty five's and see some

139
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:46.240
of these young men, yes and
one hundred and one that fought that war,

140
00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:48.559
and they'll be out there for a
arrive. They're doing three. So

141
00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:52.320
to me, here's the thing.
Seeing the plane is fine. You're like,

142
00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:56.440
oh wow, I went to a
plane and you're seeing it watching it

143
00:09:56.480 --> 00:10:01.399
take off, I think would be
the sound right, and know that that's

144
00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:05.840
the sound because especially after watching Masters
of the Air is to say, the

145
00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:09.480
sound of that thing going down or
the sound of landing would probably be the

146
00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:11.320
experience. I would want, you
know, just to go out there,

147
00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:13.200
and I want to try to get
out there. It's all day, right,

148
00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:16.919
did Toky say it's all day?
Yeah? But it's eleven thirty,

149
00:10:16.919 --> 00:10:20.080
one thirty three thirty, and they
have they have a five to thirty flight

150
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:24.720
reserved in case any there are any
late comers that can't get there until late.

151
00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:28.399
They have one flight. There's nobody. It's not a booked one,

152
00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:31.840
but it's just if if anybody gets
there late, because for whatever reason they

153
00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:35.159
have that they'll have a fifth,
they'll have a fourth flight. I'm going

154
00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:35.919
to try to make it for the
one thirty. Yeah, me too,

155
00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:37.840
I'm going to try to make the
one thirty. I got I kind of

156
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:39.480
want to get there. I'll get
my son, he's in town. And

157
00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:43.240
it's been estimated that we'll we'll lose
the last World War two veteran in twenty

158
00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:46.120
thirty five. That's the estimate,
So there's one hundred and nineteen. You

159
00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:50.720
don't have a lot of time,
wait a minute to welcome these guys.

160
00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:54.960
I'm trying to I'm not good at
math. Well, that's about eleven years

161
00:10:54.960 --> 00:10:58.159
from now, so you you're estimating
someone's probably gonna make it to one hundred

162
00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:01.200
and ten hundred and eleven something like
that. Yeah, okay, and there's

163
00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:03.639
only one hundred and nineteen thousand left
according to the World War Two music Wow,

164
00:11:03.799 --> 00:11:07.919
that's crazy. There's let that long
ago. I just talked to my

165
00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:11.919
friend Maury at the Jewish Community sign
on Tuesday and he's he was, uh,

166
00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:15.720
he they did hit that, okay, and he did the he goes,

167
00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:18.399
you know I did that on the
twenty fifth. He goes, We

168
00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:20.639
got on the ferry and rolled out. He was in the Coast Guard or

169
00:11:20.679 --> 00:11:24.639
something, and they went over from
the Cliffs of Dover and went over to

170
00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:30.759
Omaha Beach on the twenty fifth anniversary. Which the guys that were fought in

171
00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:33.440
that were young, right, you
know, they were in their forties or

172
00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:35.679
something, right, bigger than us. You mentioned the Coast Guard. They

173
00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:39.159
were the ones driving the landing boats
coming off of those shits. Correct.

174
00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:43.799
In fact, there was one the
only Coast guardsman I believe to have won

175
00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:46.559
the to have been awarded the Medal
of Honor was driving one of those boats

176
00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:50.519
on D Day. My grandfather was
supposed to do that, but they they're

177
00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:52.559
from Key West and the orders didn't
come because there was a holiday in Key

178
00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:56.600
West, so he didn't go.
And that might be the reason why I'm

179
00:11:56.600 --> 00:12:00.200
here while you're here. Yeah,
everything happens for a reason, right that

180
00:12:00.559 --> 00:12:05.000
those letters relate. And Tony,
you have Tony Venetti. Hey, God's

181
00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:09.639
not perfect. He does have a
sense of humor, apparently, will it's

182
00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:13.840
perfect. I'm sorry, yeah,
right, Oh my gosh, Dave Lightning

183
00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:16.679
your pastors listening and he was like, what was that line? Oh,

184
00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:18.879
I'm sorry, I don't know.
All right, So the joke of the

185
00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:22.639
day is speaking yes, yeah,
you know you have one. And it's

186
00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:26.279
a military theme as long as it
wasn't going to be an aggie one,

187
00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:28.559
it's a military thing. Okay,
let's got in honor of D Day?

188
00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:33.440
Oh boy? Okay. So there's
four generals standing around on a base.

189
00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:39.159
Hey fellas, Oh sorry, sorry, protocol, Hey fellas. Joy.

190
00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:43.759
So four generals, one from each
branch of the military, Marines, Navy,

191
00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:46.919
Air Force, and Army. You're
standing around. They're having a discussion

192
00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:52.679
about what is the definition of courage? Okay, So the Marine general says,

193
00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:56.240
I'll show you courage. He points
at some lance corporal and says,

194
00:12:56.279 --> 00:13:01.120
go over there and stand in front
of that landing raft and stop it.

195
00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:05.240
Marine runs over there, stands in
front of those those aircraft thing floating things,

196
00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:07.000
tries to run over there, puts
his hands out, gets run over,

197
00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:11.440
of course. Marine general looks at
the other guys that gentleman is courage.

198
00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:16.320
Maybe. Admiral says, ah,
that's nothing, Hey, sailor,

199
00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:20.519
go out there to that aircraft carrier
swan dive off of it into the water.

200
00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:26.120
Sir, yes, Sir, sailor
runs over. The Admiral looks at

201
00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:28.320
the other guys. Gentleman, that
is courage. Did he make it?

202
00:13:28.600 --> 00:13:33.720
No, that is courage. The
army guy says, you guys ain't got

203
00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:37.879
nothing. Private run over there and
grab that tank and stop it from rolling.

204
00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:41.360
Sir, yes, Sir runs over
there, splat the tank. Army

205
00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:45.200
general goes that gentleman is courage.
The air force guy grans goes, you

206
00:13:45.240 --> 00:13:48.120
guys ain't got nothing. Airman run
over there to the flight line and get

207
00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:52.759
in front of that F sixteen.
Airman looks at the general says sir,

208
00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:58.080
No, sir, you're freaking crazy. General Puff's up says that gentleman is

209
00:13:58.200 --> 00:14:03.039
courage. Yeah, that is a
joke of the day. Yes it is.

210
00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:05.960
It's telling general. No. It
is Thursday, June sixth, the

211
00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:11.679
eightieth anniversary of Operation Overlord, the
Allied invasion of Europe. We'll talk a

212
00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:16.039
lot about that, probably for the
next couple of hours. So stick around,

213
00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:18.159
Johnny, keep an eye on the
news. It looks like we have

214
00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:22.279
a giant wreck on one of the
expressways. Well, it looks shut down.

215
00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:24.679
It was on thirty two. Okay, why while we were doing that

216
00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:28.159
discussion, I want to interrupt the
discussion we're having, just talk about traffic.

217
00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:35.759
So Cody Donaho with the Bloomberg Money
minute. I can't express the sweet

218
00:14:35.799 --> 00:14:43.600
sentiments that John Tucker said about you
yesterday after he told his story. I

219
00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:46.879
told her to check out the podcast. Yeah did you? No? You

220
00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:50.879
did to go have to go listen
to it. No, because I was

221
00:14:50.919 --> 00:14:54.919
actually called to go to school for
my son because his arm was hurting,

222
00:14:54.039 --> 00:14:58.559
so I ended up having to run
and go pick him up from school.

223
00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:01.080
But oh, and it's it's interesting
because I yelled at him this morning.

224
00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:07.200
I yelled at John this morning,
John Tucker after he said all that nice.

225
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:11.000
Yeah, said these nice things.
But no, he was he deserves

226
00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:15.399
to get yelled at. He did
not stay in his lane. Oh man,

227
00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:20.039
he does not have a filter and
sometimes he oh, he inserts himself

228
00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:26.159
into situations where he's a he's a
guy. Do you understand what we how

229
00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:31.080
we operate. I don't stay in
your lane. No, I'm passing you.

230
00:15:31.159 --> 00:15:35.960
I'm I'm not staying in my lane. I told him something and he

231
00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:41.600
apparently talked about it at work.
Oh of course it's coming back, okay,

232
00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:46.279
back to you. Yes, the
one because everybody knows this said the

233
00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:50.720
only this information would only come from
me. Yes, okay, I yell

234
00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:54.679
him like, stay in your lane. You know the leak, you know

235
00:15:54.759 --> 00:15:58.320
the leak exactly, Yeah, you
know the leak. Right, Okay,

236
00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:00.840
But he was really sweet. I
mean he basically said he pulled over because

237
00:16:00.879 --> 00:16:04.600
he was thinking of you, like
you know the what I mean, It

238
00:16:04.679 --> 00:16:11.039
was really sweet that you've inspired him
because of what you've been through. Oh

239
00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:19.360
god, right, yes, that's
why we're Yes, yes, I mean

240
00:16:19.399 --> 00:16:22.799
it was really like Dave and I
were taking aback a little bit. We're

241
00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:26.120
like, wait, well it's the
John Tucker we know? Is this a

242
00:16:26.200 --> 00:16:30.200
village idiot. Yes, right,
we said that, and you're saying that

243
00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:33.960
stuff and she calls you the village
idiot. He was like, yeah,

244
00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:36.919
pretty much. Well, actually that
wasn't That wasn't me. That actually came

245
00:16:36.919 --> 00:16:40.879
from a mother in one of my
stations because they figured he could talk about

246
00:16:40.879 --> 00:16:45.320
anything. All right, So jobs
report, Yes, that's tomorrow. Okay,

247
00:16:47.279 --> 00:16:51.480
everybody's looking ahead to that. So
far, we've got I've got a

248
00:16:51.480 --> 00:16:56.559
few reports recently that showing kind of
a slow down in the economy, a

249
00:16:56.559 --> 00:16:59.679
bit of a slow down in the
labor market. So this could give the

250
00:16:59.720 --> 00:17:03.960
Federal Reserve room to cut interest rates. All eyes so are going to be

251
00:17:03.119 --> 00:17:07.240
on that Job's report tomorrow. I
mean, right now, most of the

252
00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:11.319
eyes are on congestion pricing here and
how it ended up getting canceled. So

253
00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:14.559
a lot of people are really excited
here in New York, but it's not

254
00:17:14.559 --> 00:17:18.279
really showing up in the markets.
The Dow is up fifteen points, c

255
00:17:18.440 --> 00:17:22.160
s and P five hundred, rising
a tenth percent in trading with the news

256
00:17:22.240 --> 00:17:26.200
radio eight forty wha s Bloomberg money

257
00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:30.519
yeah, my bass guitar just hiccuped. All right, today, about twenty

258
00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:36.039
minutes from now, we're gonna do
Cops Rock. That's Dave Jennings Special.

259
00:17:36.079 --> 00:17:38.519
He'll have two stories and one of
them or both of them are Louisville.

260
00:17:38.720 --> 00:17:41.319
One is Louisville, one is Milwaukee. Got it, Oh, Milwaukee?

261
00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:47.359
Ho Chi means city, you mean
Hochie Milwaukee. We're gonna have Jody come

262
00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:49.960
in for Metro Safe talk about their
involvement a crusade for children, which wrapped

263
00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:53.960
up last week at five point seven
million, and then we'll talk about summer

264
00:17:55.039 --> 00:17:59.000
Catholic picnics. Okay, all right, that's one thing we do with anybody

265
00:17:59.000 --> 00:18:03.279
bringing us fish, that's the idea. All right, Okay, So we

266
00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:06.240
have Jody doing that with Metro Safes. Because they're right across the street.

267
00:18:06.279 --> 00:18:10.880
It's easy for them to walk across
the street. Christy Spence is with Home

268
00:18:11.160 --> 00:18:17.279
a Happy Home Furniture Bank. It's
the nonprofit that takes donations of furniture uh

269
00:18:17.400 --> 00:18:19.759
huh to fill the needs of paces
people at you know, floods and I

270
00:18:19.799 --> 00:18:23.519
guess I don't know, we'll find
out more. I think it's fascinating actually

271
00:18:23.559 --> 00:18:26.319
what they do because I've never heard
of this charity. Ever, so I've

272
00:18:26.359 --> 00:18:32.319
got a list, give it to
me. These are some scary moments people

273
00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:37.880
have had on vacation, courtesy of
BuzzFeed. Oh boy, so we've all

274
00:18:37.920 --> 00:18:41.160
had those vacations that didn't go exactly
to plan. And by the way,

275
00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:45.440
I had to ask my wife cause
there are and I don't know if they're

276
00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:49.359
TV news stories just to scare us, uh huh, but they say they

277
00:18:49.400 --> 00:18:55.920
can't like some of the verbos and
condos that you rent that in common areas

278
00:18:56.079 --> 00:18:59.759
they have videos, yes, going. And then I was like, should

279
00:18:59.799 --> 00:19:03.200
we ask like nanny cams because I
don't want to get to uh too personal

280
00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:07.119
here, but we don't like to
wear a lot of clothes, so I'm

281
00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:11.720
not on vacation when the kids aren't
there, that's right, we you know,

282
00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:14.000
the boy when the kids aren't there, the boy, the boys are

283
00:19:14.039 --> 00:19:15.960
out. I'm just saying, but
we're not right. So I'm like,

284
00:19:15.960 --> 00:19:21.039
should we ask the condo people and
say you don't have cameras in the common

285
00:19:21.039 --> 00:19:26.559
area? No, no, we
don't know, mister. Send us pictures

286
00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:30.279
of you guys, then we'll answer
the question. All right, sorry,

287
00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:36.079
go ahead. Vacations. Scary moments
on our way to New Orleans Airport.

288
00:19:36.079 --> 00:19:41.119
Like four am. The vehicle next
to us on the highway shot at us

289
00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:44.440
for no reason. Oh my gosh, the bullet went through their windshit and

290
00:19:44.519 --> 00:19:52.880
rear view mirror lodging in the roof. Shut up, what of course was

291
00:19:52.920 --> 00:19:56.759
it? A woman? Driver doesn't
say, right, there's several options.

292
00:19:56.799 --> 00:19:59.960
Now, okay, I guess,
well, right, we gender exactly,

293
00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:06.200
so uh well, that's funny if
you switch genders, do I now have

294
00:20:06.240 --> 00:20:11.599
to keep my turn cigal while I'm
driving? So you don't know what you

295
00:20:11.640 --> 00:20:15.000
did, because that's why people are
crazy, like they just they believe that

296
00:20:15.119 --> 00:20:19.400
you're in their way and you are
preventing them from getting wherever they're going on

297
00:20:19.440 --> 00:20:22.279
the road, and they own the
road, yep, right, And and

298
00:20:22.319 --> 00:20:26.759
there's this this person that loses their
mind. These are normal people, not

299
00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:30.279
normal people because they're shooting at people. But for for the most part,

300
00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:34.680
they that situation. They've killed someone, probably right, and they're going to

301
00:20:34.680 --> 00:20:38.319
prison for the rest of their lives
or twenty five years because you lost your

302
00:20:38.400 --> 00:20:44.720
cool on the expressway. What the
hell? My uncle decided to mess around

303
00:20:44.759 --> 00:20:48.079
on a trail in Yellowstone near some
hot pools. Oh no, he was

304
00:20:48.119 --> 00:20:56.039
walking backward on the trail and fell
off out of the crust. I bet

305
00:20:56.039 --> 00:21:02.319
he got burnt up by sheer luck
he didn't. Oh, I was horrified.

306
00:21:02.359 --> 00:21:06.240
I thought we were watching my uncle
die. I think the people that

307
00:21:06.359 --> 00:21:11.720
work at Yellowstone National Park, the
rangers and all those people that work there

308
00:21:11.799 --> 00:21:17.519
are just sick of people because they're
morons. They get out of their cars

309
00:21:17.559 --> 00:21:21.400
and go, I'm gonna go pet
of bithen. Yeah, then you get

310
00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:25.440
picked it with the vinting and then
next thing you know, you see the

311
00:21:25.519 --> 00:21:29.240
video of them flying through the air. You're just like, get back in

312
00:21:29.319 --> 00:21:33.319
your car. You're an idiot.
And I get it if you love Yellowstone

313
00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:37.240
Park and that's why you work there. People are idiots. The general public

314
00:21:37.319 --> 00:21:42.240
is stupid. This is some guy. Yeah, this is something that we've

315
00:21:42.279 --> 00:21:49.319
all been through and the feeling is
indescribable. We lost my baby brother at

316
00:21:49.359 --> 00:21:55.359
the Seaside Heights boardwalk. My family
went wild for about an hour. So

317
00:21:55.400 --> 00:21:59.079
that feeling of your grandson or your
child's right next to you and then all

318
00:21:59.079 --> 00:22:03.119
of a sudden gone and you're spinning
around looking looking, can't find him.

319
00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:07.240
My family went crazy. He finally
found him, just sitting outside a saloon

320
00:22:07.279 --> 00:22:10.799
surrounded by bikers and their girls.
He had a bowl of popcorn and a

321
00:22:10.880 --> 00:22:14.200
soda. Yes, he just sitting
there waiting for someone to get him.

322
00:22:14.279 --> 00:22:17.640
Yeah it was. His name was
little Tony. Yeah, sitting there drinking,

323
00:22:17.759 --> 00:22:22.000
surrounded by chicks. So, uh, that happened to me. I

324
00:22:22.039 --> 00:22:25.240
said, we were in a condo. John was about seven or eight,

325
00:22:25.319 --> 00:22:26.720
Maggie was about five ors or whatever. And then I said, look,

326
00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:30.720
I'm just gonna go get a PEPSI. I'm gonna walk right there, right

327
00:22:30.799 --> 00:22:33.480
there, get a PEPSI. I
went and got the PEPSI. I came

328
00:22:33.559 --> 00:22:36.240
back. I said, I told
John, watch your sister. Yes,

329
00:22:36.680 --> 00:22:38.160
your jock get out of the pool. First, get out of the pool.

330
00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:42.759
Watch your sister. I get back. John's in the pool like underwater,

331
00:22:44.200 --> 00:22:47.440
and I'm like looking for Maggie and
then I have to scream loud because

332
00:22:47.440 --> 00:22:51.440
he's underwater. He comes up.
He's like, what where's your sister?

333
00:22:51.640 --> 00:22:56.799
Oh? Oh, I forgot about
that. I ended up and other parents

334
00:22:56.920 --> 00:23:00.200
see panic parents and they're in Yeah, it's the only time stranger were like,

335
00:23:00.240 --> 00:23:03.799
what happened where you lost a kid? Okay, let's go, And

336
00:23:03.880 --> 00:23:07.680
everybody starts looking and then I have
to. I kick the women's door in

337
00:23:07.720 --> 00:23:08.720
and I said, I'm coming in. I don't care if you naked,

338
00:23:08.839 --> 00:23:11.279
that's right. And I said,
I roll in there, and I'm like

339
00:23:11.359 --> 00:23:15.599
mad And then I hear if you're
really big, let me know, mad

340
00:23:15.640 --> 00:23:19.079
I. And then you hear the
daddy. She was in there. She

341
00:23:19.119 --> 00:23:23.799
couldn't get her bathing suit off to
because they're toddlers. I felt so stupid

342
00:23:23.839 --> 00:23:26.519
too. I was like, if
I lose my child and got a PEPSI

343
00:23:27.440 --> 00:23:30.480
I'm that parent. It wasn't even
a beer. What do you mean you

344
00:23:30.480 --> 00:23:33.920
wouldn't get a right, I wouldn't
get a soda. I was, you

345
00:23:33.920 --> 00:23:37.039
wouldn't got a soda. Yeah,
now your daughter's gone. My daughter's gone.

346
00:23:37.599 --> 00:23:41.000
When I was twelve, my dad
took me to the Grand Canyon.

347
00:23:41.079 --> 00:23:44.680
He had bad arthritis and couldn't walk
very well. So I asked if he

348
00:23:44.720 --> 00:23:45.920
wanted to walk down a trail.
He said, now, I'll stay put,

349
00:23:45.960 --> 00:23:48.960
but you can go. I walked
down the trail like a switchback,

350
00:23:49.039 --> 00:23:52.759
only a little ways. Then I
turned to see if I could see him.

351
00:23:52.799 --> 00:23:55.160
I was trying to get his attention. I kept waving and backing up

352
00:23:55.200 --> 00:23:57.799
and waving and backing up and then
turned my back. Heel was off the

353
00:23:57.880 --> 00:24:03.759
edge of the Grand Canyon. Oh
my god. I was not the smartest

354
00:24:03.839 --> 00:24:10.559
kid, but I didn't fall down. Oh. I mean it's you go

355
00:24:10.599 --> 00:24:15.000
to these places because you're you're in
such controlled environments everywhere you go in your

356
00:24:15.039 --> 00:24:18.960
life. Mm hmm. I mean
it started in the seventies when they put

357
00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:22.279
tags on hair dryers that said don't
blow dry your hair while you're in the

358
00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:25.519
tub, and you're just like,
really, we need this tag, so

359
00:24:25.599 --> 00:24:30.759
they safety everything. You go out
to these parks, man, you're on

360
00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:34.799
your own. The cliff's right there
if you want. It happens all the

361
00:24:34.839 --> 00:24:41.279
time, especially with selfie takers.
Happens all the time, right yep.

362
00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:44.000
And it's like, dude, you
you've got to watch it. And the

363
00:24:44.079 --> 00:24:48.160
older I've gotten, obviously, I
don't do heights where I used to not

364
00:24:48.319 --> 00:24:52.559
care, and now I'm like,
I'm not going to No, I'll be

365
00:24:52.599 --> 00:24:55.039
over here. You guys have fun. You know how you don't die falling

366
00:24:55.039 --> 00:24:56.319
off a cliff. You don't go
near it. Stay off the edge of

367
00:24:56.359 --> 00:25:00.160
the cliff, go near it.
I'll be over here drinking my PEPSI that

368
00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:03.200
I almost lost my daughter with scary
vacation stories. We're on our honeymoon flight

369
00:25:03.240 --> 00:25:07.319
flying into Toronto. We're about to
make a landing and connect with our other

370
00:25:07.319 --> 00:25:11.319
flight. This happened a couple of
times, and then we heard grinding under

371
00:25:11.319 --> 00:25:15.440
the plane. It repeated again.
The pilot calmas can be a click down

372
00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:19.240
the intercom and said, we seem
to be having a little trouble with the

373
00:25:19.319 --> 00:25:26.480
landing gear. Everybody, please take
your seats and buckle up. All right,

374
00:25:26.599 --> 00:25:30.960
We're going to delay our approach with
us. I'm going to be the

375
00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:34.720
one upper alright ready. So my
brother in law, what was the knockoff

376
00:25:34.960 --> 00:25:40.799
cheap airline that crashed in the Everglades
in the late nineties, Yes, I

377
00:25:40.799 --> 00:25:42.720
know Value Jet? Was it Value
Jet? Think you? So? So

378
00:25:42.839 --> 00:25:48.400
he's on a Value Jet and he
says, the lady comes down or one

379
00:25:48.400 --> 00:25:53.200
of the cap whatever, the assistant
pilot person comes down the middle and he

380
00:25:53.240 --> 00:25:57.759
says, he says, ma'am an
up. She gets up. He unbuckles

381
00:25:57.759 --> 00:26:03.119
the seat, it flips up.
He pulls up a little ratchet thing.

382
00:26:03.319 --> 00:26:08.079
Yeah, and he's turning it.
And my brother in law was like,

383
00:26:08.400 --> 00:26:12.720
you what's he doing? They're like, apparently that is the manual way to

384
00:26:12.839 --> 00:26:17.359
put the landing gear down. Oh, because it wasn't going down, so

385
00:26:17.400 --> 00:26:22.440
the hydraulics weren't working. Yes,
listen value jet No just fly delta,

386
00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:27.240
yeah, just uh So the seat
belt light went on. I looked at

387
00:26:27.279 --> 00:26:30.200
my husband, who hates to fly. He gave me a look of pure

388
00:26:30.279 --> 00:26:33.880
dread and terror, not saying a
word. I knew this trip was my

389
00:26:33.039 --> 00:26:36.720
idea, so it was all my
fault. Of course. There was more

390
00:26:36.759 --> 00:26:40.599
grinding and the plane tilted as we
started to circle, not the good grinding.

391
00:26:41.119 --> 00:26:45.319
Then the pilot returned to the intercom
and said flight attendants, take your

392
00:26:45.359 --> 00:26:52.960
seats please. Then the pilot said, we have the landing gear down and

393
00:26:53.119 --> 00:26:57.000
engaged. We'll be landing shortly.
You know you usually get grinding and an

394
00:26:57.039 --> 00:27:00.920
engagement. Would you like another cookie
something? Yeah? We just hey,

395
00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:04.119
you know what we're gonna do.
It gets a free cookie. Everybody gets

396
00:27:04.119 --> 00:27:07.039
a free cookie. Well, thank
you for that. Yeah, landing gear

397
00:27:07.079 --> 00:27:10.759
is kind of important, kind of
yeah, a little bit. A lot

398
00:27:10.759 --> 00:27:14.720
of times they'll circle and burn the
fuel out and then belly land on the

399
00:27:14.720 --> 00:27:17.880
foam. It depending on how good
the pilot is. Right exactly if you

400
00:27:17.920 --> 00:27:21.480
have celly you're in good shape,
because these days, I'm not sure they're

401
00:27:21.559 --> 00:27:25.000
hiring anybody. They're like two,
they're like twenty thousand pilots down or something

402
00:27:25.039 --> 00:27:29.119
stupid. It's like a stupid number
of how many pilots they need. Used

403
00:27:29.160 --> 00:27:32.359
to be Alex military who could stick
fly very well. Oh yeah, now

404
00:27:32.359 --> 00:27:34.079
you're kind of a programmer. Yeah
right right, it's just like it.

405
00:27:34.160 --> 00:27:38.960
Where'd you learn its tent camping in
a state park and a large tree limb

406
00:27:40.000 --> 00:27:41.920
fell off in the middle of the
night in the campsite next two hours,

407
00:27:42.680 --> 00:27:47.519
directly across where a tent would go
if we had picked that site, which

408
00:27:47.559 --> 00:27:51.799
we almost did. What now,
what happened? A lightning or a tree

409
00:27:51.839 --> 00:27:56.240
fell down? Oh? Yeah's their
second choice of camping spots. We just

410
00:27:56.359 --> 00:28:00.960
had this happen in the last storm. Some poor guy got hit by a

411
00:28:00.039 --> 00:28:07.119
tree, like one are the odds. It's crazy, but it happens all

412
00:28:07.559 --> 00:28:11.920
the time, all the time.
A branch comes down. Conk done that

413
00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:14.880
poor little boy ten year old,
ten years ago? Because I remember John

414
00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:17.480
was he's twenty one, yes,
yes he was. John was the same

415
00:28:17.519 --> 00:28:18.839
age. And it was down the
street not too far from your house.

416
00:28:18.920 --> 00:28:22.680
Yes, And the tree came off
at hitting was on a skateboard or something

417
00:28:22.799 --> 00:28:23.839
killed him. We were like,
oh my god. It was like it

418
00:28:23.880 --> 00:28:26.839
really hits home, but it happens
all the time. It's crazy the odds

419
00:28:26.880 --> 00:28:32.200
of that one. More. Yeah. I went vacationing in Mexico with my

420
00:28:32.279 --> 00:28:36.799
family when I was nine. I
got lost in a marketplace in Cancun.

421
00:28:37.200 --> 00:28:40.359
Oh boy, and tried to tell
a guy I was trying to find my

422
00:28:40.440 --> 00:28:48.720
family. He said, I'll find
you a new one. Then my dad

423
00:28:48.759 --> 00:28:56.720
walked up. Oh, fun,
and we'll put you to work right away.

424
00:28:56.799 --> 00:29:02.799
So I'm sure. Uh wow,
man, there is nothing worse.

425
00:29:03.079 --> 00:29:06.960
I mean, I'm not worse,
but when you're a dad on vacation is

426
00:29:07.319 --> 00:29:10.480
your head is on a swivel.
Oh, I'm sorry, we're jerks.

427
00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:12.880
Why are you talking to my daughter? You know, you just you gotta

428
00:29:14.480 --> 00:29:18.359
you just become that guy because it's
your joores, because you don't want to

429
00:29:18.400 --> 00:29:22.160
say the words. I turned around
for a second, and now you're like,

430
00:29:22.160 --> 00:29:23.000
you see that one over there,
John? What about that one?

431
00:29:25.039 --> 00:29:30.240
That one at nine o'clock, John, nine o'clock. Lots of pasta?

432
00:29:30.799 --> 00:29:33.920
Huh, I love lots of pasta. My wife is going there for today

433
00:29:33.960 --> 00:29:37.759
to pick up some stuff for a
party that we're attending. She's gonna make

434
00:29:37.799 --> 00:29:42.880
the pimento cheese and benedictine sandwiches.
Oh, she's gonna get several things.

435
00:29:44.319 --> 00:29:47.799
People love that stuff. Also,
the tuna salad and the chicken salad.

436
00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:49.920
Make that at home. But you
can also get a big Deli sandwich right

437
00:29:49.960 --> 00:29:53.079
there at Lots of Pasta. You
gotta cut the crust off though homemade soup.

438
00:29:53.119 --> 00:29:56.319
Oh that's true. You gotta cut
the crust off, so it has

439
00:29:56.359 --> 00:29:59.200
to be just the white bread,
right yep, yeah, and no crust

440
00:29:59.279 --> 00:30:03.759
on it. And I will tell
her this. My sister just did this

441
00:30:03.799 --> 00:30:07.160
for the pretentious, obnoxious tea we
did for Mother's Day. Oh boy,

442
00:30:07.279 --> 00:30:11.759
yeah, and she did. She
put a little piece of bacon, oh,

443
00:30:11.799 --> 00:30:15.240
in the benedictine sandwich with the crust
cut off, and they're tiny,

444
00:30:15.279 --> 00:30:18.400
so you crut the crust off and
then cut that in four. So then

445
00:30:18.440 --> 00:30:22.680
she put a little piece of bacon
in those, and everyone was like that,

446
00:30:22.759 --> 00:30:26.519
they were gone first. Bacon makes
