I'm not sure sure you human being. We had his widow on Kim Campbell

(00:45):
and we talked. We kept onfor an hour, but we brought up
that documentary. It's a great,great documentary, highly recommended I'll Be Me.
But let's people forget, by theway, that he is a really
really good guitarist. Oh yeah,absolutely, absolutely, really good. That's
where I got the term whistle Bridgesfrom, really yeah, because he would

(01:07):
call his grandchildren, hey, hey, whistle Bridges and he would do it
because he couldn't remember his grandchildren's name. That's a band name, by the
way, Also, whistle Bridges,do we have that logged in? I
don't think so, get that loggedin. Hang on, I'll remember.
Let's do this day in history,because a lot of things went on this
day, Thursday twenty fifth. What'sthat like? What? Okay? Look,

(01:33):
I'm glad you asked Dave. Itwas this day, July twenty fifth,
nineteen fifty six, when the Italianluxury ship the Andrea Doria sacked near
Nantucket. It sank after it crashedwith a Swedish ship stock. Rescuers were
able to save most of the passerssixteen one hundred passengers, but there still

(02:00):
fifty one casualty was the sweetest chefhert like Glenn Campbell or Kenny Rogers.
Right now, he's a woo woowoo. It was a July twenty fifth,
nineteen sixty nine. That's a weekafter the famed chip aquatic am I

(02:23):
saying, how do you say that? Chapiquittic? Chapiquittic. That's where Teddy
Kennedy went on a lakeside drive withEdward Kidney. Oh, I's try is
Teddy Kennedy? Edward? I callhim ted Teddy, Yeah, Teddy Kidney
Yeah, Mary Joe's you lost yourlife. A week later, he played
guilty to charges of leaving an accident. I remember seeing officials that were in

(02:46):
his camp flying in a helicopter overlookingthe scene, and the guy nothing about
the death or anything, just said, there goes the Kennedy campaign. I
do wow. Sorry, you're notgoing to get in power right now.
No kidding, Kennedy family. It'sthe cover up afterwards? Which cover up?
You know, no doubt it wastoday in nineteen seventy nine, that's

(03:08):
when President called a He issued aletter. Why do they do this crap?
They issued a letter absolving doctor SamuelMudd. He was the physician.
Wait, what's his name, SamuelMudd? His name is Mud. His
name is Muddy. Well, okay, maybe that's where this came from.
I don't know. It's the physicianwho treated the broken leg on John Wilkes's

(03:31):
boot. Oh, he absolved himof any role in the assassination of President
Lincoln. You know obviously it wasposthumously. But why even do that?
Good question? You know, Numberone, why absolve him of anything?
And number two, the guy's dead? Who cares? Nobody cares. On

(03:52):
YouTube, there's a show. It'san old show from the fifties. Probably
it's black and white, and it'ssort of one of those guess who I
am kind of things, and apanel of experts tries to figure out who
the guy is. Okay, andno one guessed it. And he said,
I was at the Ford Theater whenPresident Lincoln was assassinated. He was
a small child. Then are youserious? Probably about one hundred on this

(04:15):
show. Wow, but you justdon't think of that was so long ago?
Oh you know, not really.I h one of my favorite punchlines.
Though it's dark, but it's funny. Other than that, missus Lincoln,
how did you enjoy the play?It was so in nineteen seventy nine.
That's when President Carter issued a letterabsolving doctor Mudd of helping John Wilkes

(04:39):
Booth. That's why he's now hisname is still Mudd. You can absolve
him all you want. Carter's happyto now be the second worst president in
history. Well, I'm glad helived to see that, you know.
Yeah, hard to argue. Itwas today in nineteen eighty five. I
still remember this. Rock Hudson's publicistconfirmed reports that he was being treated for

(05:00):
AIDS at a hospital in Paris.It was today. In July twenty fifth
and eighty five, and then ultimatelythat October. The following October, he
passed away. It was a shockto a lot of people because he played
leading men all the time. Yeah, we just talked about, hey,
now the monkey is off Carter's backthanks to Joe Biden. Now the monkey's

(05:24):
finally off comedian Roseanne Bar's back.It was has she been uncanceled? Now?

controversy with an off key rendition ofthe Star Spangled Banner that led to a
booing audience. It happened at JackMurphy Stadium in San Diego. Not only

(05:46):
did she screech her way all theway through the national anthem, but she
wrapped things up by scratching herself downthere and she was spitting it, spitting
the whole She was hot. Shewas hot too. I think he called
it hot. Yeah, yeah,uh, she was hot too. And
President Bush said the performance was disgusting, which kind of reminds me we had

sale? Okay, that's what That'swhy I was going to say. There's

(07:23):
all kinds of memes going around.It's got her on the top and says,

(15:26):
Do you have any good news forit? I sure could use a little
good news today. Well, firstof all, in a major policy shift,
Southwest Airlines is going to offer assigned seats first time ever. They're
ditching that free for all policies.Well, but you know what, it's
not really so much a free forall because we when we went to go
see the Stones in Vegas, weflew out there on Southwest. Evidently you

(15:50):
can buy your position to board theplane first, you know what I mean?
Yeah, you still can't guarantee hangon a lane from sign for in
here dancing still there you go.I know what, she was dancing too.
That was the best the greatest manSun felt at some points where just

(16:11):
that was just such a funny show. But Southwest has to change your game
a little bit. They've been facinga lot of pressure from activist investors because
some of their operations they believe havebeen ownder performing. So they said,
you know what, you got todo something you got to either change your
management, you got to change theway you're doing things. And that's why
we're seeing stuff like this today wherethey're changing this free for all policy.

(16:33):
I remember the first time I did, because Southwest Airlines really doesn't fly out
of the New York area. Theydon't. No, it's not a pop
I mean they do fly, butit's not when Jeff Blue is a bigger
airline here in New York and allthat stuff. American too obviously were living
in loutis. But one night Igot this was that night I got drunk.
I've told you about that. Onenight. One night, Yeah,

(16:56):
and I bought tickets to go seeSacks and a Y and my wife freaked
out. But then she found Ithink it was Allegiant and the airline out
there. That she goes, Okay, it's not that bad. Flights are
seventy five dollars. But then theystart going, hey, are you going
to require oxygen on the plane becausethat's another one and twenty five. Okay,
missus, what what about a seatyou want to see? That's an

(17:18):
extra two hundred and fifty now itis, and wound up being you know,
a ridiculous amount. Oh, well, Spirit Airlines is another one that
flies out of here, flies toFlorida a lot, and one year I
took when Sloan was a baby,I took Spirit down to Florida to go
see my brother, and I rememberarriving on the other side and of course

(17:38):
I had a car seat, andthe car seat comes out of the turntable
and on back. Oh my goodness, it looks like they dragged the car
seat behind. The plane was completelydestroyed. It took me a while,
but I got them to pay forit and give me a sea man.

(18:00):
I was like, did you justlike strap it to the back of the
plane and just drag it all theway to Florida, because that's what it
looks like right about now. Well, my luggage was damaged, and so
before the Stone's trip in Vegas,I bought a new piece of luggage and
it was white, and I'm notnaive, I expect to get it scratched
up a little bit. But whenwe arrived, it looked like somebody thrown

(18:22):
it off buildings and there's skid marksand all kinds of stuff all over.
I'm like, what the hell dropkicking it? Oh? Yeah, one
year and this is actually a reallyfunny story too. So speaking of airlines
and luggages, I had an Auntie. She passed away a couple of years
ago. She was ninety nine whenshe died. By the way what happened,
she lived a great life. Theantiem Rosie was her name, So

(18:47):
Rosie. She used to fly toIreland all the time and fly back from
Ireland to go see all the relativeShe was from Ireland, so she used
to try to bring back meat allthe time. Do what you're doing,
so she would bring in iron sausagesor whatever. So anyway, she gets
stopped by customs on the way backin JFK. By of course, the

(19:11):
dog's coming up and the dogs aresmelling the things, so they confiscated all
her meat. But Rosie wasn't oneof these passive sort of people that said,
Okay, you know, I guessI did something wrong. She goes
up to the custom stage and shegoes, Sharon, you're gonna have a
fine breakfast tomorrow. My mother islike, shut up, shut up.

(19:38):
So my mother was convinced. Andanother thing that Rosie did is they don't
really have a cut of meat inIreland, kind of like the equivalent of
the American roast beef. So whatRosie did once was she took a roast
beef out of the freezer in NewYork, packed it in a suitcase,
not in her suitcase, packed itin my mother's suit So when my mother

(19:59):
awry in Ireland, there was adefrosted piece of beat covering everything. My
mother again so mad, so mad. I could tell you Rosie stories for
a day. And she also andone other quick one. We're on a
flight and she was a big woman. She was very tall, she was

(20:21):
kind of broad and everything. SoRosie was sitting in one of the airline
seats heading over to Ireland and Iwas next to her, and one man
decided to mess with her and puthis seat back. So she asked him
nicely at first, she said,sir, could you please put up your
in the average Sarah, could youput up your seat? And he goes

(20:42):
no, and she says it againnicely because she literally had her food on
her like on her boobs, andshe was she said again, sorry,
could you move your seat because Ican't sit like this and he's like,
absolutely not. So Rosie tried onemore time. She's like, can you
do it? And He's like no, So Rosie picks up the old school

(21:03):
headphones that she got from the airlines, stands up and starts beating them over
there. He never put his seatback the rest of that jay. Yeah,
you're not gonna mess with a ladylike that anyway. Let me give
you the markets of the day.I could give you Rosy airlines stories,

(21:23):
but forever a big turnaround from yesterday'sdropped, the SMP gaining four tenths of
a percent, the down rising twohundred and sixty five points. Economic growth
