about that story. But having said that, let's get to

Speaker 2 (02:34):
I've been eaten with my wife, planning projects and watching
the world go by. And then, as it says her,
he yes, it was his fourth time that the former
astronaut has been married. I must say, when she's in
her early sixties, is in his early nineties, they get married.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
She probably didn't see it going this way. She would
have been thinking, she's on easy streets. You going to
cash in on some of that rest in peace? And
didn't you run into buzz Aldron when you were in La?

Speaker 2 (03:04):

Brown gets out of the lift and he says, I
was just gonna lift with buzz Aldron.

buzz Aldron written on the back, always a giveaway.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
But he's never been happier, not a ninety one year
