Dude, I'm glad I wrote down small talk in the
open for Monday.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
You did talk. I was thinking about this on Saturday.
It's like, it'd be great if we came out of
the gate and we did small weather time. Are we
about it?
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Are we about to get like fifteen straight days of
one hundred degree temperature?
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Is that what your models are showing? We may never
see in the eighties again? Like it's bad? All right?

Speaker 4 (01:41):

just in time for the weekend that we all love.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Chance of rain to duck us back down into the nineties.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
So four straight days a hot, hot heat, don't go outside,
you will perish, and.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Then let me we actually get a bit of a
break next week. We will. We will kick off August
nice nineties, low nineties. Ok, all right, we'll take that.
Then after that Satan returns.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Yeah, yeah, okay, we don't have to do weather small
talk for this whole thing, because I will tell you
that I saw something as I was scrolling through the
internet to get ready for today's show.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Are you guys aware that.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
A B twenty five Mitchell bomber, a military plane, once
crashed into the Empire State Building?
Speaker 2 (02:30):
What No, So I saw this.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Story, I was like, it was like, on July twenty eighth,
nineteen forty five. Okay, July twenty eighth, nineteen forty five,
a B twenty five Mitchell bomber accidentally flew into the
north side of the Empire State Building seventy ninth floor.
WHOA Yeah. I saw this online and I was like, oh,
this is fake. It's not real because part of the
reason it was confusing is it had an AI version
(02:54):
of a picture of the event. Oh no, yeah, I'm like,
and then the picture looked like the plane crashed into
the lower floor. I'm like, why are you misleading me
with this? This is all fake? But I looked it up.
Sure enough, it happened. And when this happened, one of
the strangest world records occurred.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Okay, this is terrible.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Obviously, this plane is flying around, it's super foggy, and
the pilot in this heavy fog got disoriented and he
thought he was past Manhattan, but he wasn't, and so
he crashed into the seventy ninth floor of the Empire
State Building. Never saw it coming, and the crash killed
fourteen people. Kevin, it was an American guy. It wasn't
(03:33):
like I Sawa bin Laden's grandpa, it was it was
it was our own thing. It was an accident because
the fog, eleven people in the building and three people
in the plane passed away. One of the plane's engines
flew through the building and landed on a neighboring rooftop.
What and here's and by the way, despite the impact
(03:54):
and the fire, the building reopened just two days later.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
What.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Yeah, one of the most surreal chapters in New York
City history. But here's the weirdest part of the story
to me. A woman named Betty Lou Oliver was in
an elevator when it happened, and she was on the
seventy fifth floor. That elevator went all the way down
(04:22):
to the bottom seventy five floors and she survived. How
And so this story says, that's a world record.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Okay, that's her record, going seventy two floors.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
She survived, She survived, just went seventy five floors.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
What motion are you making?
Speaker 3 (04:43):
It just fell? Did the elevator just fall like it
wasn't calmly doing it. It's elevator like.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
I think it was a free fall from the seventy
fifth floor, free fall, boom all the way down, and
she survived.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
It's a world record because no one else has ever
been able to. How does somebody, yeah, exploded? How does
somebody say, you know what, I'd like to take a
round at that record? Would you mind dropping this elevator
seventy six floors?
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Okay, terrifying? Did you see the roller coaster thing?
Speaker 4 (05:12):
There's a roller coaster for the fourth time, this roller
coaster up in Ohio?
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Is that a problem?
Speaker 4 (05:16):
I saw that the people were having to walk down
the track for the t single file line and they
were just kind of babyst baby. So go ahead and
cancel that theme park. We've had four this summer. Yeah,
let's not mess around with it anymore.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
And you know theme parts like six Flags, they have
all these uh you know, they have all these engineers
and architects and they're constantly reevaluating things.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Look at them. I'm not worried about those. I feel
those are safe.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
But I am worried about the rickety ones that show
up at a Kroger parking lot or something. Hey, yeah,
for the next twenty seven days, this carnival is going
to be out here in the back of this parking lot.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
That seems sketchy.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Yeah, he seems unloading it out of the box truck. Yeah,
and making it happen.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:00):

Speaker 2 (06:00):
They painted the Titan.
Speaker 3 (06:03):

Speaker 1 (06:08):
Is that the Are you talking about a six Flags
roller coaster?
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Yeah, the Titan, the biggest one. Okay, is that the
big See I'm a shockwave guy. Yeah, Well everyone used
to be a shockwave. Come a long way scream scream.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
First, I almost fell out of that roller coaster. I was. Yeah,
I was a kid that like, the bar just didn't
go all the way down. And that's the most terrifying experience.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Yes, for me, the bar popped up and then million
years ago and I was like, I held on to it.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
For the very my dad going stop being a pee.
I didn't want to go. Uh.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Anyways, Uh, we love six Flags and that's great news
to hear that. I would they painted the Titan, But
