14
00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:36.719
<v Speaker 2>Give me that news quickie. This is a story from

15
00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:40.359
<v Speaker 2>the weekend as we have had a death Fred Smith

16
00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:43.960
<v Speaker 2>that at the edge of eighty one. I'm sorry eighty

17
00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:47.560
<v Speaker 2>Fred Smith is the guy who founded FedEx. Do you

18
00:00:47.679 --> 00:00:48.719
<v Speaker 2>know anything about this guy?

19
00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:49.920
<v Speaker 1>Is?

20
00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:53.759
<v Speaker 2>Uh? He hired Tom Hanks and then Tom Hanks crashed.

21
00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:57.200
<v Speaker 2>That's what reference. Yeah, you saw the last twenty minutes of.

22
00:00:57.320 --> 00:00:59.759
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's a good movie. I like those twenty minutes.

23
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:03.920
<v Speaker 2>Fred Smith, by the way, yes, ten kids. One of

24
00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:07.840
<v Speaker 2>his sons is former Falcons head coach current Pittsburgh Steelers

25
00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:11.319
<v Speaker 2>offensive coordinator Arthur Smith. So a tough year for Arthur

26
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:13.519
<v Speaker 2>Smith as his dad died and now he's got to

27
00:01:13.519 --> 00:01:19.439
<v Speaker 2>deal with Aaron Rodgers. Fred Smith. Fedix obviously huge, but

28
00:01:20.239 --> 00:01:22.359
<v Speaker 2>kind of a wild story. FedEx would not be around

29
00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:26.239
<v Speaker 2>if it wasn't for some good luck from old fred Smith,

30
00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:30.439
<v Speaker 2>because in nineteen seventy three, that's when they launched, but

31
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:32.680
<v Speaker 2>they didn't have a lot of money. In fact, they

32
00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:35.400
<v Speaker 2>were running out of money and one investor meeting had

33
00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:39.159
<v Speaker 2>gone so poorly that he hopped on a plane with

34
00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:43.719
<v Speaker 2>the remaining five thousand dollars that the company had and

35
00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:48.760
<v Speaker 2>played blackjack. God, this guy's a hero, and he came

36
00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:53.799
<v Speaker 2>home from Las Vegas with twenty seven thousand dollars, So

37
00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:57.400
<v Speaker 2>five thousand down twenty seven thousand dollars back, and it

38
00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:00.599
<v Speaker 2>was enough to keep the company going for another couple weeks,

39
00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:02.519
<v Speaker 2>and then they raised enough money.

40
00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:05.840
<v Speaker 1>He's the Everly Jones of shipping. God. She did say

41
00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:07.879
<v Speaker 1>she put five grand on a hand, right, yeah, and

42
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:09.360
<v Speaker 1>which means it's probably ten.

43
00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:12.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, right, now it is illegal to take company funds

44
00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:15.479
<v Speaker 2>and go gambling with that, But in nineteen seventy three you're.

45
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:16.759
<v Speaker 1>Not frowned upon.

46
00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:17.919
<v Speaker 2>But I question that too much.

47
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:20.639
<v Speaker 1>I don't know that there were rules in nineteen seventy three.

48
00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:21.719
<v Speaker 1>Were there? I don't think so.

49
00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:25.879
<v Speaker 2>For anything, I don't really think there were. Honestly, it's

50
00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:29.479
<v Speaker 2>now a fifty billion dollar company, so they've done well,

51
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:34.280
<v Speaker 2>doing pretty good. Now, there's nothing I was thinking about

52
00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:37.639
<v Speaker 2>some other companies who had good luck. Zoom had such

53
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:41.199
<v Speaker 2>good luck. I mean, Covid was so good for Zoom.

54
00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:45.919
<v Speaker 2>We were still talking about skyping. We were talking about well,

55
00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:48.199
<v Speaker 2>that's really the two I guess, yeah, But there were

56
00:02:48.240 --> 00:02:49.639
<v Speaker 2>all the onse who were trying to get out there.

57
00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:53.560
<v Speaker 2>Zoom without the pandemic. I don't know what they are, dude,

58
00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:59.159
<v Speaker 2>Microsoft without IBM, there is no Microsoft. I was saying

59
00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:02.199
<v Speaker 2>about Twitter. Twitter's there's a side product project from some bros.

60
00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:04.080
<v Speaker 2>You know, And then all of a sudden, Oh, the

61
00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:06.199
<v Speaker 2>Internet is starting to take off and people are fund

62
00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:08.879
<v Speaker 2>to bike, social Facebook happens, Oh we can do a

63
00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:11.639
<v Speaker 2>little more with that. You're just all good luck, and

64
00:03:11.639 --> 00:03:14.400
<v Speaker 2>that's really good, but no better luck than winning at

65
00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:16.919
<v Speaker 2>black jack. Was such a fun game. But to come

66
00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:19.080
<v Speaker 2>out of that up twenty two k to keep the

67
00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:21.719
<v Speaker 2>company going. You're our celebrity death of the way.

68
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:22.639
<v Speaker 1>That's great man.

69
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:25.319
<v Speaker 2>Sorry to Ralph Mick of a bad Company at the

<v Speaker 1>All right, thank you, Kevin. We've got Jaws's turning fifty.
