all the cool stuff, and everyone loved him.

Speaker 3 (01:17):
Everyone loved him a little too much.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
Well, why I'm interested in talking about William Howard Tough
today is I've seen how much he ate in a day,
and I mean every day. I'm going to take you
through what he ate every single day. Breakfast three waffles
and maple syrup, A three hundred and forty gram steak,

(01:39):
and five cups of coffee.

Speaker 3 (01:41):
That's breakfast. That's breakfast. We need to move on to lunch.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
Four lamb chops, turtle soup made with actual turtle, butermuta, potatoes, coffee,
five bond bonds, raspberry jelly with whipped cream, and salted almonds.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
That was every lunch. This is lunch. When he dinner, Yeah,
salad started with a salad, so that.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
Was good with olives, cucumber, asparagus, lobster stew, roast, turkey,
potato salad, peas, a two hundred and twenty six gram steak.
For dinner, a salmon filet and possum and tato tots made.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
With actual possum really like potato gems as we call
them here.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
Probably you're missing out the bit that he ate possum.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
So with dinner he's had steak, salmon, possum, lobster, and turkey.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
You know, anyone, he must crap a rawwaiskipper. Here's his dessert, well,
he has dessert.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
Well, a fruit plate in coffee, so that's okay, and
then a four colored cream fruit pie.

Speaker 3 (02:41):
And he didn't just eat this on the big days,
he ate this every day. He was a big guy.
Apparently when he died he was buried in a piano box.
He was that fat. Need a bigger boss.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
I need to google this guy. Have a picture of
William Taft, William William, you talk while I google, because
I can't.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
Do two things.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
Turtle soup sounds disgusting. Well, it's made from turtle. It's
a stew like soup traditionally made with turtle meat, often
in Asia and Creole cuisine.

Speaker 3 (03:11):
It's known for its rich, flavorful broth and.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
The use of a roof for thickening, because when you're
having that, why wouldn't you want it thicker?

Speaker 3 (03:18):
What part of the world is that from from Creole?
In Asia? I said, no, it's from Creole. It's Creole cuisine.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
The soup can also include hard boiled eggs and vegetables,
because I don't think there's enough in there.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
Is Creole down in the deep Bolt South.

Speaker 3 (03:29):
It's sort of Louisiana, down by Louisiana where the alligators
are so mean. I don't know he's not eating an alligat.
It's the only thing he has seen.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
That's post sala Dannie, remember that song eating gatchet Granny.
Oh there's bigs are in there?

Speaker 3 (03:42):
A big boombar.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
He I would imagine him to be more boombar from
all what he ate. He doesn't seem that large. He
just looks like an average American these days.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
Well maybe, but also you know, is he hidden behind
a desk or behind a piano box because you.

Speaker 3 (03:57):
Didn't see the reality they did.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
They had presidents that couldn't walk, but you wouldn't.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
Know which one was the one in the wheelchair, the.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
Roosevelts, whereas now someone's lactose intolerant. We think the world's
going to end. If the president.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
Roosevelt, they had put the front bit of the deck
like because the desk used to be able to see
the legs of the president. And then they put that
bit at the front because he was in a wheelchair
and they didn't want anyone to see.

Speaker 3 (04:21):
That he was a cripple.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
I saw the thing the other day with Jermaine Greer
where she was on a talk show, probably in the seventies,
and an American. I think he was a politician said
a woman could never be president because of all the
hormonal flows that she has around menstruation. And she said,
what about all these American presidents who'd been hugely unwell?

Speaker 3 (04:43):
Yeah, and no one knew.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
And she said to this guy on this talk show,
she said, do you know if I'm menstruating now? And
he was floex he'd be asked such a question, and
she said, I rest my case. How would you know,
shut your neck, yeah.

Speaker 3 (04:54):
I keep your pilele and get buried in a piano box.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
Yeah, or have the thing in the front of the
desk or that Bill Clinton appreciated it. No need to
remove that, want anyone to see what's going on underneath
that desk.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
Okay, kids, that's it today.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
Come back to Mark the Boy, Chunty Anavanisk boom Fort
