Speaker 1 (00:01):
President Carter is on the line. Hello, Mr President, this
is Morocca. Thank you very very much for speaking with
me this morning, my favorite service. I'm Morocca and I'm
back with season two of Mobituaries. I've got even more
stories about the people and things that fascinate me, and

(00:22):
yes they're all still dead. From a presidential brother so
famous he had his own beer, very vivid membership trying
to get down that Billy beer was awful stuff. To
the first Chinese American movie star. I don't see her

(00:45):
as a tragic figure. I just think of her as
somebody that's quite remarkable in the strides that she did make,
and there'd be roles for her today. It's true. She
would be great on Grey's Anatomy and Killing You to
a group of pioneering politicians who defined an era reconstruction
is a moment of incredible hopefulness. When Frederick Douglas saw

(01:09):
the portrait of Hiram Revels, he said, at last, the
black man has represented something other than a monkey. This season,
I returned to the television killing Fields to investigate a
long forgotten sitcom slaughter. He and I literally whacked the
hell out of that schedule. They canceled Beverly Hillbilies, Pettico Junction,

(01:29):
Green Acres, anything in the country, anything that was not
in a city with breaking concrete. Bye bye. And I'll
tell you the story of how an eighties pop song.
It is a song with velocity, right, so big and
bold and brash brought a two thousand nineteen sports team
back to life. I will go to my grave singing champion. Yes,

(01:52):
I will so join me this November for season two
of Mobituaries. Yeah. Check out Mobituaries the book with lots
of brand new stories not in the podcast.
