Speaker 1 (00:15):
Hey, it's that time again. Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and germs,
as they used to say, somebody did Milton Borough. I
think it's drinks with did love you very very much,
and we are I like it. I like it, so
you know, I can't just leave things alone. So this
(00:37):
is a mixture. Leave it to us. It's Tito's and
ginger Ale. Where you going, baby, I'm just gonna pull
this out because I think, well, leave it to us
to figure out. It's not orange juice paid to do this.
It's something we do. We don't get paid to do this.
In fact, we paid this.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
We love you and we want you to be healthy too, so.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
That every day. This is the first time, oh gosh,
that's cold. This is the first time that we have
used our healthy dose as a mixer. And I know
there's a couple of people out there just said I
told you, I told you, these people drink all day
and all that. No, we don't.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
You're perfect. We want to do it that way.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
That's right. So we're actually call this a balancing. That's
so funny, because this is a this is dose for
your liver, right, it's.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Perfect and actually does you really should hire it even't
realize that that's pretty funny drinking show or a show
about cocktails and topics.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
And some people give we don't want to don't so listen.
Don't so listen all the time. Don't So sometimes we eat,
we do, and occasionally we sleep. Don't so let other
people do that sort of thing. I know they do.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
But I believe I think we believe in a product
that's okay. I mean I don't think we should.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
We've used this every day for the last like six
months or so. So you drink, you drink a little
metal They send you a little metal shot glass. If
you don't know what that is, look it up or
we can. We can tell you. But they give you
a little metal shot glass. You get six of these bottles,
six one, two, three, you might get eight. I think
you get six. And then you you then drink a
(02:21):
shot of it in the morning and a shot of
it at night before you go to bed. It's wonderful.
Great thing about it, though, is that it comes this
is glass. So what I do is I then take
the take the plastic logo off, and then I'll put
iced coffee or I'll put water. I'll put things in
glass which I do believe is better for you. I don't.
I'm really not a big component of aluminum cans.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
See you all think I think, I think you put
your drink and makes all the difference.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Yeah, screwed up a little bit. So we're on the
same focal focal plane that way, not this way, that
way toward the camera. Okay, See the camera wants to
be flat to us like that. We're in Nashville. What
does that have to do with anything?
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Because he went right in for it straight.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
So obviously, folks, the world has, uh, the world has
taken a tragic and ridiculous and uh I believe, totally
unnecessary turn since last week. You know, last week we
were talking about the young Ukrainian girl, and while we
were recording that podcast, Charlie Kirk was in oorum Utah,
(03:35):
And shortly after we finished it, this, this tragedy unfolded,
and truly the world changed. This is not just some
random act of violence. This is, without question, a politically
(03:56):
motivated assassination and that has not happened in my life
time since. I mean, they tried, they tried when they
shot Reagan, but I was alive, Donald Trump when they
absolutely they tried, but they failed. I was on this earth.
I was very young when Kennedy was shot, but I
(04:16):
was here. I was here when Robert Kennedy. Those were
political assassinations. Martin Luther King was a political assassination, and
Charlie Kirk sadly was also a political assassination. And we
like to think we're getting we're getting more enlightened as
(04:37):
we take each breath. But it seems to me that
the headlines and things like that are trying to prove
that we are not, that were actually devolving as a race,
and we must do something to combat that. And that's
exactly what we're doing. You know, you're given you're given
tools if you're a public's speaker, if you are a teacher,
(05:01):
if you're a if you're a police officer or a
fire chief or a fireman or a doctor. You know,
we are given the tools of communication. My tools, our
tools of communication, our music and film. Basically that calls
down to, or boils down to storytelling. So this week
(05:24):
we've we've written a song and brought a dear friend,
Brandon will in, and we sat right in this room.
In fact, here's some here's some footage. Don't play the
sound though, because we were just trying to figure it out.
But but Tony played this some some of this little
footage while I'm speaking here. We were right here on
this couch and we were working on a song called
(05:45):
Charlie's Words. And later today we are actually filming this
on Wednesday in Nashville. Later today at one o'clock, we
will be in the in the studio doing not only
this song, but we're also going to be doing the
theme to the Earls of Perry. I'm very excited about that.
(06:08):
And then the time permitting, we may be doing a
very fun song about taking out the trash. And this
is the first time. And I write a lot of
songs and Dedie has been in the other room or
she's come in and I'm going to tell you about
what she did here a little bit ago. But I
was singing I'm happy taken out the trash into my
(06:30):
phone to so I could I could work. I was
working on that, and she said, you know, a song
like that could be a monstrous hit, just because it's
so much fun. I'm happy taking out the trash. She
(06:53):
pats toenails on my dash, so you got a tattoo
on her bag. I'm happy taken out the track, so
it's fun. It's a silly song, I know, And I said.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
You know.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
That laps a Queen of the double words, wrong, Keith,
she wears her Daisy Dukes with pride. Don't bother boys,
that girl's attached because I'm happy taking out the track.
So we're going to do that too, because I think
today in the studio is going to be a rather
somber day. Although the song Charlie's Words is I think
(07:28):
the best thing I've ever had anything to do with
since She's worth it. And as a matter of reference,
the gentleman I wrote She's worth it with is Brandon
Will Brandon Will, Brandon Will. His name is Brandon Will,
and for the longest time I thought his name was
Will Brandon. Oh hell, it might be well, I don't
(07:51):
know anyway. Anyway, he's a wonderful singer songwriter. He was
just out in Chicago where we were a couple of
days ago, doing a he does a traveling tribute to
James Taylor and it's just amazing. So anyway, that song is, uh,
I don't know it. Charlie's words broke.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Charlie's Words broke through the barricades. Charlie's words cut through
the dark. Charlie's words can't silence people. A purpose sounds
far spoke of me, best folk of you. There's folk
of us and them and we. Charlie's words can't strength
(08:33):
to people.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
Cannot bomb their feet, and they're speaking loud, speaking proud,
with the voice God gave to us.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
I tell you now, there's no idea what will do.
They's no idea what they've done or what we'll do
with Charlie's words forgive me. I don't know all the chords,
but it's an anthem. You know it's weak? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
(09:13):
So it's gotta be great. Can't wait for you to
hear it. I'm told that you may hear it on Friday.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
We'll find out.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Well, you know, she said, does it have to happen
so slow? She's like, my god, I didn't even know
that I had started to write this song until what day?
Were we at lunch? Should I tell this story?
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Well? Maybe or maybe not?
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Well that settles it, doesn't it.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
It's up to you.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
It's up to me. It's up to you. But you know,
just very quick, no idea what we'll do Charlotte's.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Wage Boy, where we like just stopped it and got
like the whole country. Donna and I and we were
both crying. It's like, we can't even believe this. It
was surreal and just so sad, and then this poor
widow and the kiddos and that sort of thing.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
I mean, oh, the strength she exhibited though, I'll tell
you what is a rock star?
Speaker 2 (10:05):
She just I mean, and I've been there, I know,
I mean, when you lose someone, it is very difficult.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
But she is so small like that amazing either one
of us can even imagine because she was there with
their beautiful children.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
I don't know if she was. I heard she was
were there, but that who knows you would think she
would be. But I don't want to say we don't
want to say something.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
We know we heard that she was there, but certainly, certainly,
like everybody she was, she was forced to watch it
over and over and over, which really it's so funny.
It disgusted me that they showed it over and over
and over. And then Brandon said, yes, but it also
(10:45):
it also fueled our fire. It did, it fueled and
I said, you know what, You're right, So those words
are in the Those words are in the song.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
I wanting to do something and you feel so helpless.
And it just worked out and it was meant to
be for John to write a song for Charlie called
Charlie's Words and all of the money of every Seeds
whatever you call what you call it, not proceeds, but
just money made from the song.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Anything made any point.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Of course, Turning Point is an amazing group that Charlie
Kirk headed up and was very successful, and I believe
that's why Donald Trump won because he was able to
rally the.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Oh yeah, absolutely, and I believe I believe absolutely knows
that too. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
So anyway, we wanted to do our little part. Really,
I don't want to say it's a little like belittling,
but gos, it just seems like with everything going on,
if you can do anything good in the world or
something to contribute, especially after seeing what Charlie Kirk did
in his very short life. He was so young and
he did so much that John is so amazing as
he put to get up very quickly. And the song
(11:51):
is beautiful and I'm very proud of you. Hear It's
really a wonderful song in Touch contributes to Charlie Kirk,
so and you all will be able to listen and
try to find it. And again all the money will
go to Turning Point, Charlie Kirk's organization. Yeah, if you
didn't agree with then that doesn't matter. Nobody deserves to
(12:13):
be assassinated for free speech. It's terrible for anything, right.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
And I've had a bunch of people because I posted
some of the words and we posted the Fox, the
Fox interview or the Fox.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Which was everywhere, went everywhere. Everybody was so interested in
what John hand to say and what were the words
you said?
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Honey, Well that that you know, this was something that
was meant to stop a conversation.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Louder and proud.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
But we're going to be louder and prouder than ever
before because this is not a this is not a
this is not a trend. It's a movement. So and
I've had a lot of people say, well, you know,
Charlie Kirk said this, and he said that, and he
said this, and I said, okay, we'll show me, and
yes he did. He was he was you know, I'm
not shy, fereless. He was fearless. But I I have
(13:02):
yet to see unless he felt he was being belittled
or punked in some way. Because there's one there's one
where I have a feeling that the guy the guy
was was intentionally trying to get a rise out of him,
because I could see humor in Charlie's face when he
was saying, oh, you know that's you know anyway. I
(13:26):
wonder if anyone really has video, and I'd love to know.
What I saw Charlie Kirk doing was saying, go ahead,
change my mind. Here's what I believe, Here's why I
believe it. What do you believe? And they would say
(13:46):
something and he'd say, okay, well then you then you
you haven't heard about blah blah And they'd say no.
You'd say, okay, well maybe you should listen to it
before me before you formulate such an opinion. And they
would say, well, have you heard about blah blah And
he would say, yeah, yes, that was so and so
on such and such a date. This is an incredibly
smart man that I think was was was borderline savantish
(14:09):
with his memories of things that he heard people say,
where they were, when they were, what they were wearing
when they said it.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
It's definitely put on this earth to do this. I
mean that was you know, that was the divine on
his prominence.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
I believe so. I believe so so so while I
do agree with people that said he would, he would,
he would beerate some people. Well what he would debate
people and then if they couldn't, if they couldn't finish
the debate, if they couldn't compete with his debating skills,
(14:43):
then like any good debater, he would just end it.
I don't think that's a sin. I don't think that's
a crime.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Free speech.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
I think, well, I think it's free speech in the.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
United States of America. Free speech, and you should not
be assassinated. Absolutely not assassinated.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Oh it's just so horrible. So I think someone was
someone said that, you know, this assassination for this generation
is like what because I was here when Martin Luther
King was assassinated and it was and I tell you what,
there was no racism the day Martin Luther King. You know,
(15:22):
maybe there were silent or people who didn't have a
platform like Facebook or TikTok or YouTube or anything. You know,
that is a problem. You know, one of the great
things about social media is it gives voice to everybody,
and one of the terrible things about social media is
it gives voice to everybody. But I never in my
(15:43):
young years, I don't remember anyone saying yay Martin Luther
King was shot. I don't remember that.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Part of this, in my opinion, is that people are
like going to yeah, Charlie Kirk, I'm like, oh my gosh,
how can you do that? But I love Ryan Fournier
and I apologize Ryan if I'm getting your name wrong.
But that group he has been tired. No, no, he's
students for Trump.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Oh yes, Oh my gosh, you're gonna tell you are
a rock star follow.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Him and spelled f O you are n I E
R And I apologize.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
I'm probably think that. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
So he has been constantly finding people that did that,
and then he went sent into the employer and they
get fired, fired, fired, fire, fire, people from universities and said, oh,
I'm glad that he died. Guess what they got fired,
so fired from restaurants, from it, from really, I think,
all walks of life, and it's amazing that the employees
(16:47):
are like, yeah, you're gone, You're out of here. We
don't need that. And it's happening over and over again,
and even in kind of liberal groups.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Not all that's what's amazing.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Not all liberals agree with that. In fact, most I
want to say, or like, how can you say it's
a good thing for this kid?
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Well, like this moron, absolute moron.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Very accomplished, young man, articulate. Just because you don't agree,
you don't shoot the guy. So a lot of libers
agree with us on this, thankfully.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Yeah, yeah, except for there are some out there, and
some are very very verbal. One has a late night
show who has the audacity and the stupidity to say
that this young man from Utah who assassinated Charlie Kirk
was a maga crazy person. And by the way, you
(17:39):
know there's a mega. If you don't know, Maga means
make America great again. The sad part about the word maga,
the acronym maga is it sounds kind of like mago.
It took well it does it? You know, has a
bad like connotation. What it means They say it like,
(18:00):
I fun, I love you, I.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Love you too, loud of you wait till you hear
this song. It's so amazing like you it.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Is. It makes me cry, it makes me cry. It's
a song that never should have had to have been
written ever, And so's that.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
About Charlie Kirk. But I tell you the movement is huge.
I mean in London, did you see all those people
in the streets and in other countries that are with us.
It's really amazing.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
I get a picture. I'm gonna cry now.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
I was going to say thank you, Charlie. I'm so
sorry that happened, but thank you. We both do.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Thank you very I get a picture. You know, I'm
a Christian, but I have this really like casual way
to speak. So I have this picture of Jesus and
Charlie sitting on a fence and they're both wearing cowboy boots.
I'm sorry for you Christians who think Jesus only wears slippers,
but they're wearing cowboy boots, and Jesus has got his
(19:01):
arm around Charlie and he says, look, I didn't expect
you so soon, but watch this.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
And also the meme like that where Charlie's got his
arm around the little Ukrainian girl the diedal on the
train of his butcher on the I couldn't even believe it.
We had that then Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
So this is a turning point. I was editing. I
was downstairs in Madison. I was editing the the documentary
and I came up and DDI's pacing and she's like,
and I'm like, what what What's going on? What? What
did I do? Now?
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Now?
Speaker 1 (19:38):
What happened? And she says, Charlie, Charlie Kirk was just shot.
And I'm like, oh my god, is he okay? She said,
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
They and then then on social media but not the TV.
So john was much better with the controls than I am.
I said, please and sure.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Enough, and we were watching We were watching Greta Greta
Sostern Greta on the Newsmax. They were doing an interview
about other things, and of course everything went right to that.
And then it was first President Trump said that he
had been given word that Charlie had passed away. We
heard that Speaker Johnson was about to say something. He
(20:13):
got a message and then he left. That was the
message on this side, So obviously that was the message.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
I think I get chills now, still so upset, but
I like it was nine to eleven all over again,
because a lot of people I don't know if you'd
call an assassination, but they were certainly murdered. They were killed.
And I'm so horrible and I feel the same sadness
and same well.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
But this was this yo, all of America.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
You know, we get this other than the people that
are hateful to arms him, and they don't count.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
And by the way, the call to action in the
song is not about you, just you bastards. Just wait
and see what we're going to do to you. That's
not what it means. What it means is we are
going to join together in a way that we never
(21:01):
possibly imagine.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Make America great again. Thank you, Charlie Kirk. I'm so
sorry that happened, so sorry that had to happen. But
boy did it make a difference change the world.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
It changed the world.
Speaker 5 (21:17):
And and so if you have a it seems like
the one thing most I can't agree with is that
this was.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
The wrong solution. This was the wrong If you want
to silence someone who has a voice, debate them, debate them,
make them look foolish, and then walk away victorious, but
don't do something like this. And and yeah, we we
(21:52):
just don't know what what the next minute will bring anymore.
So if there's something you can do, uh donate to
turning point that's great, or or you know, uh get
involved in local government, get involved in make a change.
And you know what, I'm just I'm just naive enough
(22:13):
to say, if the change you want to make doesn't
doesn't go along with the change I want to make,
make it anyway, do whatever you can.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Let me give a little example of that. It's not
Charlie Kirk related, but I don't know. I kind of
think that people are now thinking what can I do? What? What? What?
What civic organization can I join? Or you should speak
to that, Yeah, what what can we do? Or get
involved in government? Like John said, but it was I
won't get into the details of what was in the text.
But Mayor Bob Madison said, Hey, Elise, she is our
(22:43):
comptroller Indiana. She's I gave her your number so she
could reach out about John's idea about the national debt.
John is so smart. He's so great at politics as
well as singing and being the Duke's that had their God.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
I am not great at politics at all, but I
do believe I have been given the gift of common sense.
I do I believe.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
I do believe that policy and politics go together, because
you can't get the policy up there, you will get
the right people in. So Elise and her name is Italian,
and I will get it wrong. So I'm just going
to say, Elise, who everybody knows in Indiana, are stay comed.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
He's wonderful.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Who is like the state treasurer. They changed the name
for some reason, and she John and she had a
conversation at the Lincoln Day Dinner in Madison.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Which was so much fun. Thank you to our beautiful
hotel there. Yeah, for putting on such a great event.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Party the Republican Party there, the Jefferson County Republicans.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
It was a party for the Republican Party.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
That's what the Lincoln Day Dinners are. Lincoln Reagan Day Dinners,
that's the thing. Many of them are now Reign Day
Dinners or both. So anyway, Elise handles the budget and
the money of Indiana. And by the way, Indiana, I'm
going to brag has a gigantic surplus unlike a lot
of states earned at but not US, and.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
A balanced budget and a balanced budget yep, that's why
they have a surplus.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
But John had chat with Elise and miss Elise, I
don't want to be disrespectful, Comptroller Elias uh. And she
wanted to chat with John Moore about it because it
was such a great idea.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
He said to you, I just talked to a really
good idea.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
So she set me a message and wants to talk
to John more about it. So now John's not only
singing a song to raise money for Turning Point and
to remember Charlie Kirk, he has the State Treasurer basically
saying hey, I want to know more about your idea.
May we talk? And so so impressive with this lady
Comptroller eleast.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Well, this hadn't happened. This hadn't happened. I had this.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Conversation, right, So that's true. But I just feel like
the energy and everything she just kind of like with
this tragic event which was so sad and so terrible,
but so many good things are spreading from it.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
And I'll tell you that. I'll tell you the idea.
The idea was pretty simple. We we now are in
a position if you love your country. I love my country.
I've always loved my country, but I now trust the
management of my country. Okay, So what that means to
me is yes, we have it. Now a thirty seven
trillion dollar debt. We have a thirty seven trillion dollar debt.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Has a surplus. I'm going to interject that one again.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
And there are a couple of states I think I
have a surplus. And Indiana led the way. They said, look,
this can be done, we can do it. Why can't you.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Well, miss Daniels did that. I mean, you know, you
don't know who. Miss Daniels is a wonderful man, but
he is a former governor and he said, we're going
to balance a budget, then we're going to have a surplus,
and of course Eric kept it. And Mike Bron I
don't know him. I mean the last governor I went
to college with at a different time, but I knew
(25:45):
him very well from the Republican Party, like super dupier Well,
and I would just text him about things. This guy
don't know and then the Stanna is who I loved.
He you know anyway, you have to be in good
financial shape.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
And well, yeah you have to. You can't help people
if you are helpless.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
And Indiana high right, and it's like so in Illinois,
let's just pick on Illinois because we were just there.
But we left.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Chicago was fine, but you know what it was, Calling
Joe was great in that little it's it's beautiful and
Chicago is beautiful, by the way, but we had somebody
tell us go ahead. It's just so sad we're filming.
I'm filming. Hey, Well, well.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
We went downtown. We drove down Lake Shore Drive, gorgeous drive,
and I think most I think most people have gone
to Chicago because Chicago's pretty centrally located, beautiful city that
the government is trying to destroy it. But anyway, we're
there and we're all excited, and we're taking pictures of
the sign because sixty six.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Tell them that's the beginning of Route sixties. Well that's
the northeastern beginning of Route sixty six. Uh, it ends
up or starts, depending on your perspective. In Santa Monica,
Santa Monica Pier, I think.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Most people think it's east and west. I think most
people think that.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
I know they do, but that's actually not true because
I believe the idea of joining what Root sixty six
and I'll get back to what I was saying a
minute ago, but what Root sixty six is is all
small towns have main street. Every small town, everywhere has
a main street. It's usually somewhere near the stagecoach stop,
which became the train stop, which became main street.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
The River travel just saying.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Well, if you're on a river, yes, but if you're
in the middle of Kansas.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
But came to be right because I kind of started
going like trains and runs, but before if you were
on the river.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
I'm trying to tell people, that's right. The river is
a whole different world. We live on the river and
there are folks who live in River City, the capital
t and that rhymes at p and a Stanford Pool. Okay,
But the other parts of the country all had main streets,
and then they had very limited ways to get to
(28:04):
the town next door, you know, the town east or
the town west. So they came up. I think it
was nineteen twenty six. The idea came up to join
my main street with your main street, with a thoroughfare
that made it easier for us to trade get your kicks.
(28:26):
That's Bobby Troop wrote that Bobby Troop was a doctor
in emergency but about ba a aboup. But so that's why
Route sixty six was called America's main street because it
joined individual town's main streets together. I am of the
belief that that actually started in the middle like Oklahoma City,
(28:50):
and worked its way out to the east and to
the west. That's my belief. I don't think there's any
way to prove that, but I do know that that
people in California, because that's Santa Monica Boulevard, it's.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
To They make it very obvious there it's beautiful. But yeah,
in Chicago, we have to tell you we barely found it.
I mean, they don't think they do it well enough
there sorr As Chicago, but it's true they don't.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
They don't understand. Let me finish this thot. So the
people in California, and the people in Chicago, and probably
the people in Oklahoma not Oklahoma City, but the people
in the bigger cities didn't really need Los Angeles, never
felt the need to do reciprocal trade with Barstow or
San Bernardino. They just kind of, you know where lost
(29:38):
And they still feel that way. Same thing with Chicago
and New York. Well, but New York's not on Route
sixty six. Sure, So it was the smaller towns where
somebody had great rice and somebody had great soybeans, and
somebody had great cotton, and somebody else had great coal
or whatever it is that they had. They recognized the
(29:58):
need to be able to try travel more easily, not
just on the train. You know, this was a Root
sixty six was a a fly in the ointment for
the train business because all of a sudden people didn't
have to They could just go in their pickup truck.
The goads from from of mice and men of oh brath,
(30:21):
of the grapes of wrath. Yeah, could just get in
their truck and they'd get in their in their there forred.
Remember you could put in any color as long.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
As it was and it was stacked up like the
Beverly Hill.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Abilities bit higher they could go. They could go to
the next town over or two towns over on Route
sixty six uh and and get what they need and
trade what they needed. So Root sixty six actually empowered
people and empowered commerce. Then later when we had a
threat of war either made up or reel during Eisenhower,
(30:58):
Eisenhower who was in general obviously, so he's going to
be thinking about I, like I pretending or protecting our country,
which by the way, is your first obligation as a
public servant is to defend the people that you represent.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Coman you're in cheap what is your first obligation?
Speaker 1 (31:17):
So in the event in the in the unlikely or
likely event of war on our soil, President Eisenhower came
up with the interstate system, which made it easier to
travel for our troops to get from one place to
another because they had noticed it in foreign countries. Because
(31:37):
there was no Route sixty six, there was no interstate system,
they spent more time trying to get tanks to the
next line of engagement than they spent actually engaging with
the enemy. So they built the interstate system. I'm not
for the interstate system because what that did is if
(31:58):
you're if your state coach route was here, and then
your train was here, so your main street was here,
and Route sixty six came out of either side of that.
What the interstate system did was they put it over
here or over here. So many many very thriving towns
(32:19):
on Route sixty six dried up as soon as they
cut the ribbon on the interstate says I don't believe
that was the plan for the interstate I think it was.
I think it's true that damage, yeah, but it damaged
so much commerce.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
And we loved those towns along the way of Root
sixty six, and we tried on the tour, which, by
the way, the reason we're we're in Nashville, of course,
is for Charlie's.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Charlie's words, Charlie's words.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Sorry anyway, but we were going out west in a
monor home work. We should be in Minnesota right now. Well,
guess what we're doing this because this took precedence Charlie dying.
Charlie's voice is more important than anything right now. So
we dropped everything we were doing. Happily, not in the
way that poor Charlie died, but we're happy to drop
(33:11):
what we're doing for Charlie. And here we are, and
John's going to record the song soon. And when you hear.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Somehow came right back, right back, was great, that's great.
I love you too. But so that was the was
a story about Route sixty six. That was what we
did in Chicago. That's part of uh of, not of
this song. But I was editing the documentary when we
when we heard about when I heard about this, but see, I.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Love America too, and that's what we're doing doing the documentary,
and again, please send your suggestions where to go in
Emory State. What is historic, it's important, gives you the
flavor of the state you know that you're in. So
you have been so helpful, So thank.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
You very much. I love things that are that are obvious.
I mean, I love it when people talk about about
Gettysburg all that kind of stuff. But I would rather
go to like we want to go to the Battle
of Bunker Hill. We will, we want to We're going
to go there. We want to go maybe to Appomattox.
(34:15):
We want to go to Richmond. I want to go
to Richmond cafe. You love, Oh, the bag Dad Cafe.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
You're going to go there.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
We're going to go to the bag Dad Cafe.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
Tell you they've requested two or three times. I've sent
them to someone will work with to make all that work.
But I think we're going to go to the bag
Dad Cafe. And they don't even know yet.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
Have seen them? Well they do now, haven's seen the movie?
You got to see the movie. It's a great place
in uh. It's outside of Barstow, California on Route sixty six.
UH and it's a cult film. It does okay here,
but for some reason it's it's a it's huge in France.
So when you go to the bag Dad Cafe and
(34:53):
if you happen to be on Route sixty six, it's
more likely that you will sit next to a family
speak French and a family speaking English and honey, hun
just I think that's pretty cool, the dukes.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
Of hazard being shown in French and they're singing, you know,
and oh.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
When you pointed it out that I was, I was mean?
Was Shelly? That means sheriff, Sheriff make me scared. That's
the name, for some reason version that's the name of
the French version of predict of Hazard, Shelley.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
And seriously, there's two there were two tables of French
men French women.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
Well with their kids. They were on a road trip.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
Well I don't know if they're Parisians or not.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
I sort of think they were going to and Boy
and Boys, a little town on Route sixty six that's
no longer really there's there's there's nothing there. There's a
gas station in Satin and one of.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
The Road sixty six places looks like we were training
for them, and we try to we try to go
to the restaurant, or get the gas, or get this
tub or whatever we can do to support because when
the interstate went in, forget it, they just many of
them just went away, and they're like ghost towns.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
They kind of dried up. But a lot of people
in those towns are saying, no, we're not go anywhere.
We're gonna We're gonna stick it up. God bless you
that we appreciate it. It's Seligman. Arizona is one Soman.
So Ligman has said no, and Seligman is doing great.
So they have they have spent whatever they need to
spend to put cafe. We've been the right kill cafe
to put billboard signage on the interstate so that people
(36:24):
will come and see what's called Peggy SU's diner. That's
actually it's just.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
On the wall. We were sitting at the bar, of course,
because we're both.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
Just so you know, it's not the bar. We were
sitting at the at the now sitting at the bar, well,
what do you call that? Like an ihop? By the way,
Uncle Herschel is back. We started loving him today.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
But we're sitting at the back on the side.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
Now. The barrel's not gone away, we can start going
back there today.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
John, I'm telling you, John was the first person to
like I mean people. People were not happy about it,
but John did a song about it. He's like, all right,
we're stopping. And then we went to a rest stop
and John's over here, and all these kids are going,
who is that guy over there?
Speaker 1 (37:20):
Like onime, mommy, mommy.
Speaker 2 (37:25):
And then not long after they acquiesced and they're like,
all right, we're bringing Uncle Herschel bag Wen to kill
the ballfear.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
Yesterday we were we were at breakfast yesterday and we
swear we saw Uncle Herschel here. Yes, check this video out.
Don't play the sound again, but here we are, or
play the sound. It's okay, just cut it in here.
But it was funny and we talked to our two
uh Jessica at the bar. Yeah, we always sit at
(37:55):
the bar, but they call it a bar even if
you go to a soda shop and some boss.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
Because we travel a lot, so we're sitting like this.
So we're both tall. We both have long lyings of
the bar.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
People have a tendency to to not come up and
uh and chat when you're at the bar. For some reason.
We say Jessica, who is the bartender and the the
wonderful wonderful at Midtown. I said, uh, I think that's
Uncle Herschel. She said, who. I said, it's Uncle Herschel
from Cracker Barrel. And I think she said it might
(38:28):
be Orville Reddenbacker.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
And that's an Indiana guy. That's an Indiana guy. Gotta
love it.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
So but look at that, Look at look at what happened.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
People went crazy.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
People want with.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
Cracker Barrel, We want it the same way, don't.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
Cracker Barrel had already made a four hundred million dollar decision,
which it's hard to reverse a four hundred dollars decision,
let alone four hundred million dollar decision. But she and
I and you and us and we changed their mind.
And now they announced two days ago that all across
(39:07):
the glorious United States and getting rid of the new signage,
they're getting rid of the whole new idea, and they
are putting at least the sign back, hopefully, hopefully they're
gonna put the tables back and all the all the
great old stuff back. But we made a difference. Okay,
so we made a difference. Charlie was making a difference
(39:29):
Charlie's words now that live on through us will make
a difference, but they're not I'm gonna kick your ass.
That's not what the words are. Let's look, let's talk
about this.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
Who cares If they were he may answered that, I
don't know. I mean, but the point being this, he
wanted I've called you to be great again. It was
very important to him many I have to tell you
what I was honestly seeing the kids and a wife
or whatever. But that is very important because it's true.
Speaker 1 (39:59):
He is a show.
Speaker 2 (40:01):
I love her. She is so so strong, and it
is so hard, and they're young, and they've got little
bitty baby. Is it's just heartbreaking. But I'm telling you
that woman, she is a warrior. She's great.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
So there's that took some of her words for the song.
They had no idea what they've done?
Speaker 2 (40:22):
What will do.
Speaker 1 (40:25):
Me? And you Charlie's words, ye.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
I mean, there's the heartbreak of the family and we're
all just torn up about it and these you know,
when she was talking about the little baby, it was like,
where's do doc? You know, what do you do? So heartbreaking,
But you know, Charlie Kirk, I'm telling you, I mean
she I almost think he was the same. They were
(40:57):
talking about him like, you know what I mean religious
and was starting on at the Catholic church. I'm the Catholic,
but I tell you what, they should give him the
same hood he was to say, in my opinion, whenever
you moved the world in a good way, you're a saint.
I mean, obnoestly that's out of our realm. But he
(41:18):
look at what's going on because of what he did.
Speaker 1 (41:21):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (41:21):
I mean, thank you Charlie, and thank you Erica. And
those poor little kids, but you know they're going to
know that their daddy was a hero. Their daddy was
a hero, Dada was a hero.
Speaker 1 (41:33):
Amazing yep.
Speaker 2 (41:35):
And you made that mark in the world. I mean, look,
he was very young. Jesus was very young when he died.
And I'm telling you to say it. I mean, this
was this is a movement I think to save America
and then save the world.
Speaker 1 (41:50):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (41:52):
Thank you Charlie.
Speaker 6 (41:52):
Yeah, and it's okay to disagree with but what you
what you need to do is to be prepared.
Speaker 1 (42:05):
One of the problems today, I'm the old guy sitting
on the fence going, well, you know, these young folks,
I guess that's just me. But you need young person everybody,
but young people in particular. You need to take the
time to formulate your own opinions, not just take the
(42:30):
short route by spewing out opinions that you've heard this morning,
that you that you think you may agree with, that
came up on your phone.
Speaker 2 (42:41):
That doesn't mean it's true.
Speaker 1 (42:43):
So well it doesn't mean but still even I mean,
I've had stuff come on my phone and I said,
you know, I never thought about it that way. I'm
going to run that through my my computer, my processing machine.
If you don't take the time.
Speaker 7 (42:57):
To develop, well, but the the the machine in your mind,
in your soul that processes information and comes out with
something called an educated.
Speaker 1 (43:13):
Opinion, then just be careful. Be careful because and I
think I do that, you know, I I don't think
that I just react. I think that I go, Okay,
well that hurt. Uh. But what am I going to
do with it? So I'll put it. I'll put it
(43:35):
against other information that I'll have that I have, I'll
put it against other thoughts that I've had. I'll put
it against experience, I'll put it against hypothetical things. I mean,
I will if there's a the human mind is amazing,
it'll put these things in there. What are you doing? Baby?
Ginger Ale love it? But they'll they'll, they'll. Uh. So
(43:56):
then what did what did? Uh? I don't remember who said,
chew your words very carefully before you spit them out,
but it was it was Mark Twain, Samuel Clemens. It
was Mark Twain who said, please forgive the long letter,
as I did not have time to write a short one,
(44:19):
which means the editorial process to editorial, editorial, the editorial.
I think the process may be called editorial in any event,
you know what. I think the editorial process takes longer
than the writing process, as is evidence in this song.
(44:40):
I wrote that, okay, thank you baby. I wrote this song,
the first draft of it, very quickly, and then, being
a pretty smart guy, I sent it to Brandon because
I thought, if anybody's going to be able to find
the the implied structure in this home, it's going to
(45:04):
be him. So send it to him. And then we
text back and forth, and then we spent what do
you think an hour an hour here working on the song,
and and we were delighted with it. And then this
one comes in and says, you know that just said
to me, that's great. I think you all are great.
(45:24):
But that just sounds so folksy. And she said, remember
how you were, Uh, that's fine. We easy won't.
Speaker 4 (45:35):
Give hello in this last world, Jesus the hero.
Speaker 1 (45:42):
Freedom isn't free.
Speaker 6 (45:44):
It's up to you and me, brother Robi Leech's world.
Speaker 1 (45:52):
So she said you got to put them not And
she's right, because you know I'm I'm not a subtle guy.
I do believe I can have my mind changed if
given new valid information that I put through my system.
But she stood right over here and she said, you
(46:14):
know that is beautiful, but you know it's likely that
everyone is writing beautiful tribute songs. It's like when people say,
let's have a moment of silence for Charlie. My heart
and soul says no, let's have an hour of debate
for Charlie. Let's not be quiet. I understand the moment
(46:36):
of silence, and I'm not judging anyone who has said that,
because that is what you generally do when someone has
passed away. But I think Charlie Kirk would say, let's
have okay, let's have five seconds of silence and then
let's do something. So we got to talk about the
(46:57):
new hat.
Speaker 2 (46:59):
True, but there's that thought as I was there because
I said it, John is unspoken, Charlie Kirks certainly was,
and even the widow, the beautiful America who has that strength,
my goodness, and she also was like, you have no
idea what you've done. And Charlie would just debate everyone,
and John's like that I have what you do?
Speaker 1 (47:20):
What we'll do?
Speaker 8 (47:21):
So I'm so pretty, But I.
Speaker 2 (47:23):
Thought, I think we need an anthem. I think we
need to be stronger. I think that's what they would want.
It was. I was like, I just put my opinion
out there. I wasn't in charge. John is in charge,
and he's like, yeah, I think you're right.
Speaker 1 (47:35):
So that's why I kind of well and then Brandon
immediately started rather than yeah.
Speaker 2 (47:42):
Because he's James Taylor. That's what John said.
Speaker 8 (47:44):
He said James Taylor type and it's very pretty and folksy.
But I'm like, you know, I'm not thinking pretty and
folksy right now. I think people want an anthem to
be there just talking it.
Speaker 1 (48:09):
And when I sang, you have no idea, you know
what you've done? Oh, what will do me and you
Charlie's word.
Speaker 2 (48:25):
It's like, oh my god, well you and Charlie and Erica,
miss Erica not exestly wallflowers. So it's like there's a
mission here and that's to remember Charlie and that's Charlie's words,
and that's what John's doing. And I think you all
are gonna love it.
Speaker 1 (48:40):
I think you're gonna love it. And I want you
to go out and do something right, do something, say something,
make a change, make the change that you want to see.
And if somebody else doesn't want to see it, so
what you know, unless you're making a change because you're
just mean, don't do that. Don't make some contrary change
because you're a you're a what do they call a snarky,
(49:02):
nasty person. Make it. That's the big dog, the high
dollar word. Make a change because you want it. You
want to see a change. We went when we were
filming the documentary in Chicago, a guy came up and said,
you know, it's a good way to get your phone stolen.
Speaker 2 (49:15):
Coming back to what we were talking about, and I'm thinking, well.
Speaker 1 (49:17):
This is one of the most beautiful streets in the country.
And this guy warned us he wasn't being snarky. He
was just saying it all, yeah, because somebody will run
by and steal your phone. That's horrible.
Speaker 2 (49:29):
Chicago listened to a beautiful city. And here we are.
We're like adding to the documentary the beginning of brew
sixty six. And we discussed and John sayre got the
trypot out. We got the door open in the car
and there's like a backpack of money and I mean,
you know whatever I mean, or valuables whatever. So we're
thinking it's okay, and the guy comes by and I'm
(49:49):
literally just have my phone like this filming John filming,
And he had so said to me in front of
John because he didn't horner together. But I don't think
it better anyway. He was just trying to to be helpful,
like that's that's a good way for your phone to
get stolen. And he turned around and shook us head,
don't do it.
Speaker 1 (50:07):
I'm like, you did have kind of an attitude about
like you moron, But that's okay because it was advice
well taken. Because I've got my door open. I think
the truck was running tourists.
Speaker 2 (50:17):
Yeah, yeah, the raptor was running. There's money in the
front seat.
Speaker 1 (50:23):
We're talking like forty like it. But you know stuff that.
Speaker 2 (50:26):
People like, A backpack like something people would grab easily.
So you're gonna grab my phone. You're gonna go jump
in the car and take off of the car with
a backpack.
Speaker 1 (50:37):
Yeah, but as soon as it locks, what do do
you do? I don't understand. You know, they don't know
the past code. And it's not your facial it's not
your face. I mean, I don't understand. Wy anybody would
steal a phone. It cost twenty five cents.
Speaker 2 (50:48):
Now we are literally on Michigan Avenue. Michigan Avenue. Now
it's South Michigan Avenue. But still the guy's like, that's
a good way for your phone to get stolen.
Speaker 1 (50:59):
My gosh, this has gone fast. We only have ten
minutes left.
Speaker 2 (51:02):
Well that's okay. You know we we were having a ball.
Speaker 9 (51:06):
We love that's why we won't hell no in this
last world anyhow, love music, love Nashville, and we're gonna
do that song we're gonna do.
Speaker 1 (51:24):
There's no earl. It's all you never saw. I don't know.
The courts Mountain never got him, and neither.
Speaker 2 (51:35):
Did the law.
Speaker 4 (51:37):
They say he got his left foot from his papapas
Pau Paul and nowhere no one like him Jackson Stone Waller.
Speaker 1 (51:47):
So that's of course going to be the theme song
to the new show, The Earls of Perry, So that's
we're very excited about that too. Now we have to
wait until we've already said this till spring, which is
a beautiful time in Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (52:02):
Many times you have the sister centennial of your country,
how about once, So that popped up and we're like, okay,
let's do this first and then we'll go back to
Euros a parent and it will be wonderful. But you know,
the tour as well. But my gosh, we could have
been in like wisconsinsin and Minnesota maybe are I what?
We probably have had three more states done, But when
(52:23):
Charlie Kirk got killed, it's like, all right, this is
what's important.
Speaker 1 (52:27):
We have to do it all. So we're doing this,
but it's going to be part of a new album.
I'm not sure what the album is. We are recording
three songs today. There are at least ten songs on
an album. But we are going to release this song
as soon as possible, maybe as early as when you're
watching this. The tendency is to want to fiddle with
(52:48):
the song until you get it just but we don't
really have time to do that right now.
Speaker 2 (52:54):
So inspired, it's already great.
Speaker 1 (52:57):
Be on the lookout for this. It's called Charlie's words,
and you'll be able to to hear it on spot.
Well it takes a while to do that too.
Speaker 2 (53:08):
Well how you can do it and even will onto
a YouTube thing or whatever. But this is for Charlie Kirk.
We're not making a dime there.
Speaker 1 (53:15):
Everything goes, everything goes to turning point.
Speaker 2 (53:18):
But everything will go to turning point.
Speaker 1 (53:19):
Yeah, everything going to turning point. And there have been
people who suggested that I appreciate your suggestions. We already
we already decided that. And then there are nasty, terrible,
awful people who said you shouldn't be making money off
of somebody's deaf.
Speaker 2 (53:31):
Well, no shit, we're donating money. So sorry losers that
you know. I mean, I hate it when people are like,
you should be making money, who said we word, we're not.
We are giving it up turning point in turning point,
they're doing such a great job, my goodness.
Speaker 1 (53:45):
In fact, we had somebody somebody came up with a
T shirt idea and said, oh, you should do this.
I said, no, we.
Speaker 2 (53:49):
Can't read that backing money off We can't know, absolutely not.
Speaker 1 (53:54):
Yeah, we can't profit off of this, so let's do that.
Speaker 2 (53:57):
You brought it up.
Speaker 1 (53:58):
Do you have the question? Well, we only have it's
left and we got seven minutes left.
Speaker 2 (54:03):
I can't even tell you how perfect that is. We
have seven minutes left and weren't talking about this seventh.
Speaker 1 (54:09):
Do background music?
Speaker 2 (54:12):
Seven minutes? John has brought it up, and this is
about the seventh president of the United States who happened
to be the hero of the Battle of New Orleans.
Who is that president who was a hero of the
Battle of New Orleans? And I brought that up because
we're in Tennessee.
Speaker 1 (54:33):
This is how many hints are you going to give?
Speaker 2 (54:35):
A lot? Is it?
Speaker 1 (54:37):
Where do we play golf yesterday? Okay, well we tried.
We tried to play golf. Now all of a sudden,
all of a sudden, you know, kind of like with
pig pen pig pen on peanuts. It was like in
this clod and.
Speaker 2 (54:52):
Then the horn bloffs and we have to leave.
Speaker 1 (54:55):
We have a leading. So sadly we were actually playing
for I only lost one. God played I lost it
at at the top of a tree.
Speaker 2 (55:04):
Well, I'm telling you, we'll both going trees and sometimes
they don't come down. And then we heard the big
horn and then we're like, all.
Speaker 1 (55:10):
Right, well, but then he came and said, you know
you can. You can go out and play again. But
we'd already given up the we'd already given up our
clubs in our cart.
Speaker 2 (55:19):
But we'll be back.
Speaker 1 (55:20):
And we had driven from Chicago in the morning, so
we're pretty tired. But we had a ball.
Speaker 2 (55:26):
We had a great time.
Speaker 1 (55:27):
We played golf and we had a ball.
Speaker 2 (55:29):
I get it.
Speaker 1 (55:30):
That's funny. That's funny, and we're going to record soon.
Speaker 2 (55:33):
And anyway, so let me show you the hat. I yes,
all of the hats were giving away. It's hard for
me kind of to give away. But it also gives
me joy.
Speaker 1 (55:43):
While she's saying it's hard to give away hats, Tony,
show this picture gives me joy. This is what I
came up with how to display's hats.
Speaker 2 (55:52):
I love this hat. I always say that, but I do.
I love all of them. They're so pretty and got
this nice ddy and except so it's a little difficult
for that's a per hats of many of them are straw. Straw,
in my opinion for September is wrong.
Speaker 1 (56:09):
This is handmade, right, race is amazing. Are telling you what?
Speaker 2 (56:11):
It's gorgeous, you know, folks, these are not these hats.
Speaker 1 (56:15):
These are not baseball hats, okay, which you know. We're great,
we have them online. This is a handmaid. This is vintage.
Is this vintage? Yes, my vintage hat. This is a
if this hat is a penny. It's a five hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (56:32):
It's a perfect September hat. I love it. And we're
coming up, do you remember? So this is a great
twenty first.
Speaker 1 (56:46):
Doesn't work on the right way.
Speaker 2 (56:48):
It's the other way. Yeah, and you put it on
back a little bit like. I just love it. It's
got a little netting here, and it's brown and gold,
and it has a little.
Speaker 1 (56:57):
Bow on top. If I rich that we wouldn't have
to work. I love it. It's great. Pardon for almost
disparaging this hat.
Speaker 2 (57:14):
It's a beautiful Oh, this is so beautiful, you guys.
I can't even tell you.
Speaker 1 (57:18):
I love it, love it.
Speaker 2 (57:19):
And it's got the little bow on top, a little bow.
So yes, So these hats mean a lot to me,
but I want them to mean a lot to you.
And we're happy to do these giveaways. We just went
to the post office and we sent out one, three
or four hats.
Speaker 1 (57:32):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (57:33):
So anyway, every week we give away the hat. But
here's the club fifty. Okay, here's the here's the question again.
Who is the hero at the Battle of New Orleans?
And I once the seventh President from Tennessee. So this
week's easy and you'll get this beautiful hat. It's a
beautiful September hat. I love it. I love worrying it.
(57:57):
But you need to get you need to be generous.
Speaker 1 (58:01):
So it's a perfect You don't need to be generous
to win the hat. You just need to answer the question.
Speaker 2 (58:07):
We pay you know where, we're going to send it
to you.
Speaker 1 (58:10):
Happy to do it, We're happee to do it.
Speaker 2 (58:13):
Yes, this is the hero of the Battle of New Orleans,
which was the hero there was a song written about it,
which was a hero of the War of eighteen twelve
as well.
Speaker 1 (58:25):
How many hints are you going to give? You know,
fifteen people.
Speaker 2 (58:30):
I know I'm being generous this week and the seventh President.
Speaker 1 (58:33):
From Tennessee because last week was hard. What actually, wait,
we have time. You found out something you didn't know
about I did, okay, explain that, okay.
Speaker 2 (58:47):
So the longest non girl speech was William Henry Harrison.
He was a governor of the Indiana Territory. Then his
grandson Benjamin Harrison was also president. His William Henry Harrison
was in office thirty days. Most people feel he the
reason he died was because he gave the longest inaugural
(59:10):
speech in history. It was forever. It was like two
hours some crazy time. Didn't wear his jacket.
Speaker 1 (59:16):
Older guys outside it was entieth Hello.
Speaker 2 (59:21):
Do an inaugural speech without a jacket for two hours
at seventy whatever years old, or you're gonna die. And
he did thirty days later. So his grandson Benjamin.
Speaker 1 (59:31):
Harrison gave one pneumonia.
Speaker 2 (59:33):
Right, gave one of the shortest speeches, but not the shortest.
Speaker 9 (59:38):
I was wrong.
Speaker 2 (59:39):
I learned my lesson here because I had to study
more and then I had to reevaluate. So last week
is still in process. But the shortest inaugural speech was.
Speaker 1 (59:53):
Was Washington. I think he said thank you something like that.
Speaker 2 (59:58):
He was rather Henry Harrison spoke for like two hours
or something. And I think that George Washington's speech was
like one hundred and twenty four words. That's very very short,
so I thought it was Benjamin Harrison. I think that
was Lord that I learned as a kid, being having
a history degree and being an Indiana person.
Speaker 1 (01:00:18):
But it was we just tripped over an hour.
Speaker 2 (01:00:20):
But it was one of the shortest speeches. So last
week's answer was William Henry Harrison and George Washington. This
week the question is who is the hero? Right the
Mount New Orleans from Tennessee and this president?
Speaker 1 (01:00:40):
Easy and no idea. You know what they've done, all
what we'll do, me and you Charlie's word. Thank you
folks for hanging out with us on the drinks with
Dedie and John Show.
Speaker 2 (01:01:00):
Please think about Charlie Kirk's family at the funerals.
Speaker 1 (01:01:03):
Make a difference. Make a difference today, make a difference tomorrow.
Make a difference for God's sake, make a difference. We
love you. We're glad that you watch us, and hopefull
you're entertained. We certainly are. I love you, I love you.
Speaker 2 (01:01:14):
More suggestions for places and we left Charlie Kirk and
his family
Hey, it's that time again. Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and germs,
as they used to say, somebody did Milton Borough. I
think it's drinks with did love you very very much,
and we are I like it. I like it, so
you know, I can't just leave things alone. So this
(00:37):
is a mixture. Leave it to us. It's Tito's and
ginger Ale. Where you going, baby, I'm just gonna pull
this out because I think, well, leave it to us
to figure out. It's not orange juice paid to do this.
It's something we do. We don't get paid to do this.
In fact, we paid this.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
We love you and we want you to be healthy too, so.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
That every day. This is the first time, oh gosh,
that's cold. This is the first time that we have
used our healthy dose as a mixer. And I know
there's a couple of people out there just said I
told you, I told you, these people drink all day
and all that. No, we don't.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
You're perfect. We want to do it that way.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
That's right. So we're actually call this a balancing. That's
so funny, because this is a this is dose for
your liver, right, it's.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Perfect and actually does you really should hire it even't
realize that that's pretty funny drinking show or a show
about cocktails and topics.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
And some people give we don't want to don't so listen.
Don't so listen all the time. Don't So sometimes we eat,
we do, and occasionally we sleep. Don't so let other
people do that sort of thing. I know they do.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
But I believe I think we believe in a product
that's okay. I mean I don't think we should.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
We've used this every day for the last like six
months or so. So you drink, you drink a little
metal They send you a little metal shot glass. If
you don't know what that is, look it up or
we can. We can tell you. But they give you
a little metal shot glass. You get six of these bottles,
six one, two, three, you might get eight. I think
you get six. And then you you then drink a
(02:21):
shot of it in the morning and a shot of
it at night before you go to bed. It's wonderful.
Great thing about it, though, is that it comes this
is glass. So what I do is I then take
the take the plastic logo off, and then I'll put
iced coffee or I'll put water. I'll put things in
glass which I do believe is better for you. I don't.
I'm really not a big component of aluminum cans.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
See you all think I think, I think you put
your drink and makes all the difference.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Yeah, screwed up a little bit. So we're on the
same focal focal plane that way, not this way, that
way toward the camera. Okay, See the camera wants to
be flat to us like that. We're in Nashville. What
does that have to do with anything?
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Because he went right in for it straight.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
So obviously, folks, the world has, uh, the world has
taken a tragic and ridiculous and uh I believe, totally
unnecessary turn since last week. You know, last week we
were talking about the young Ukrainian girl, and while we
were recording that podcast, Charlie Kirk was in oorum Utah,
(03:35):
And shortly after we finished it, this, this tragedy unfolded,
and truly the world changed. This is not just some
random act of violence. This is, without question, a politically
(03:56):
motivated assassination and that has not happened in my life
time since. I mean, they tried, they tried when they
shot Reagan, but I was alive, Donald Trump when they
absolutely they tried, but they failed. I was on this earth.
I was very young when Kennedy was shot, but I
(04:16):
was here. I was here when Robert Kennedy. Those were
political assassinations. Martin Luther King was a political assassination, and
Charlie Kirk sadly was also a political assassination. And we
like to think we're getting we're getting more enlightened as
(04:37):
we take each breath. But it seems to me that
the headlines and things like that are trying to prove
that we are not, that were actually devolving as a race,
and we must do something to combat that. And that's
exactly what we're doing. You know, you're given you're given
tools if you're a public's speaker, if you are a teacher,
(05:01):
if you're a if you're a police officer or a
fire chief or a fireman or a doctor. You know,
we are given the tools of communication. My tools, our
tools of communication, our music and film. Basically that calls
down to, or boils down to storytelling. So this week
(05:24):
we've we've written a song and brought a dear friend,
Brandon will in, and we sat right in this room.
In fact, here's some here's some footage. Don't play the
sound though, because we were just trying to figure it out.
But but Tony played this some some of this little
footage while I'm speaking here. We were right here on
this couch and we were working on a song called
(05:45):
Charlie's Words. And later today we are actually filming this
on Wednesday in Nashville. Later today at one o'clock, we
will be in the in the studio doing not only
this song, but we're also going to be doing the
theme to the Earls of Perry. I'm very excited about that.
(06:08):
And then the time permitting, we may be doing a
very fun song about taking out the trash. And this
is the first time. And I write a lot of
songs and Dedie has been in the other room or
she's come in and I'm going to tell you about
what she did here a little bit ago. But I
was singing I'm happy taken out the trash into my
(06:30):
phone to so I could I could work. I was
working on that, and she said, you know, a song
like that could be a monstrous hit, just because it's
so much fun. I'm happy taking out the trash. She
(06:53):
pats toenails on my dash, so you got a tattoo
on her bag. I'm happy taken out the track, so
it's fun. It's a silly song, I know, And I said.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
You know.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
That laps a Queen of the double words, wrong, Keith,
she wears her Daisy Dukes with pride. Don't bother boys,
that girl's attached because I'm happy taking out the track.
So we're going to do that too, because I think
today in the studio is going to be a rather
somber day. Although the song Charlie's Words is I think
(07:28):
the best thing I've ever had anything to do with
since She's worth it. And as a matter of reference,
the gentleman I wrote She's worth it with is Brandon
Will Brandon Will, Brandon Will. His name is Brandon Will,
and for the longest time I thought his name was
Will Brandon. Oh hell, it might be well, I don't
(07:51):
know anyway. Anyway, he's a wonderful singer songwriter. He was
just out in Chicago where we were a couple of
days ago, doing a he does a traveling tribute to
James Taylor and it's just amazing. So anyway, that song is, uh,
I don't know it. Charlie's words broke.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Charlie's Words broke through the barricades. Charlie's words cut through
the dark. Charlie's words can't silence people. A purpose sounds
far spoke of me, best folk of you. There's folk
of us and them and we. Charlie's words can't strength
(08:33):
to people.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
Cannot bomb their feet, and they're speaking loud, speaking proud,
with the voice God gave to us.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
I tell you now, there's no idea what will do.
They's no idea what they've done or what we'll do
with Charlie's words forgive me. I don't know all the chords,
but it's an anthem. You know it's weak? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
(09:13):
So it's gotta be great. Can't wait for you to
hear it. I'm told that you may hear it on Friday.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
We'll find out.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Well, you know, she said, does it have to happen
so slow? She's like, my god, I didn't even know
that I had started to write this song until what day?
Were we at lunch? Should I tell this story?
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Well? Maybe or maybe not?
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Well that settles it, doesn't it.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
It's up to you.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
It's up to me. It's up to you. But you know,
just very quick, no idea what we'll do Charlotte's.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Wage Boy, where we like just stopped it and got
like the whole country. Donna and I and we were
both crying. It's like, we can't even believe this. It
was surreal and just so sad, and then this poor
widow and the kiddos and that sort of thing.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
I mean, oh, the strength she exhibited though, I'll tell
you what is a rock star?
Speaker 2 (10:05):
She just I mean, and I've been there, I know,
I mean, when you lose someone, it is very difficult.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
But she is so small like that amazing either one
of us can even imagine because she was there with
their beautiful children.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
I don't know if she was. I heard she was
were there, but that who knows you would think she
would be. But I don't want to say we don't
want to say something.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
We know we heard that she was there, but certainly, certainly,
like everybody she was, she was forced to watch it
over and over and over, which really it's so funny.
It disgusted me that they showed it over and over
and over. And then Brandon said, yes, but it also
(10:45):
it also fueled our fire. It did, it fueled and
I said, you know what, You're right, So those words
are in the Those words are in the song.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
I wanting to do something and you feel so helpless.
And it just worked out and it was meant to
be for John to write a song for Charlie called
Charlie's Words and all of the money of every Seeds
whatever you call what you call it, not proceeds, but
just money made from the song.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Anything made any point.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Of course, Turning Point is an amazing group that Charlie
Kirk headed up and was very successful, and I believe
that's why Donald Trump won because he was able to
rally the.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Oh yeah, absolutely, and I believe I believe absolutely knows
that too. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
So anyway, we wanted to do our little part. Really,
I don't want to say it's a little like belittling,
but gos, it just seems like with everything going on,
if you can do anything good in the world or
something to contribute, especially after seeing what Charlie Kirk did
in his very short life. He was so young and
he did so much that John is so amazing as
he put to get up very quickly. And the song
(11:51):
is beautiful and I'm very proud of you. Hear It's
really a wonderful song in Touch contributes to Charlie Kirk,
so and you all will be able to listen and
try to find it. And again all the money will
go to Turning Point, Charlie Kirk's organization. Yeah, if you
didn't agree with then that doesn't matter. Nobody deserves to
(12:13):
be assassinated for free speech. It's terrible for anything, right.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
And I've had a bunch of people because I posted
some of the words and we posted the Fox, the
Fox interview or the Fox.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Which was everywhere, went everywhere. Everybody was so interested in
what John hand to say and what were the words
you said?
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Honey, Well that that you know, this was something that
was meant to stop a conversation.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Louder and proud.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
But we're going to be louder and prouder than ever
before because this is not a this is not a
this is not a trend. It's a movement. So and
I've had a lot of people say, well, you know,
Charlie Kirk said this, and he said that, and he
said this, and I said, okay, we'll show me, and
yes he did. He was he was you know, I'm
not shy, fereless. He was fearless. But I I have
(13:02):
yet to see unless he felt he was being belittled
or punked in some way. Because there's one there's one
where I have a feeling that the guy the guy
was was intentionally trying to get a rise out of him,
because I could see humor in Charlie's face when he
was saying, oh, you know that's you know anyway. I
(13:26):
wonder if anyone really has video, and I'd love to know.
What I saw Charlie Kirk doing was saying, go ahead,
change my mind. Here's what I believe, Here's why I
believe it. What do you believe? And they would say
(13:46):
something and he'd say, okay, well then you then you
you haven't heard about blah blah And they'd say no.
You'd say, okay, well maybe you should listen to it
before me before you formulate such an opinion. And they
would say, well, have you heard about blah blah And
he would say, yeah, yes, that was so and so
on such and such a date. This is an incredibly
smart man that I think was was was borderline savantish
(14:09):
with his memories of things that he heard people say,
where they were, when they were, what they were wearing
when they said it.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
It's definitely put on this earth to do this. I
mean that was you know, that was the divine on
his prominence.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
I believe so. I believe so so so while I
do agree with people that said he would, he would,
he would beerate some people. Well what he would debate
people and then if they couldn't, if they couldn't finish
the debate, if they couldn't compete with his debating skills,
(14:43):
then like any good debater, he would just end it.
I don't think that's a sin. I don't think that's
a crime.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Free speech.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
I think, well, I think it's free speech in the.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
United States of America. Free speech, and you should not
be assassinated. Absolutely not assassinated.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Oh it's just so horrible. So I think someone was
someone said that, you know, this assassination for this generation
is like what because I was here when Martin Luther
King was assassinated and it was and I tell you what,
there was no racism the day Martin Luther King. You know,
(15:22):
maybe there were silent or people who didn't have a
platform like Facebook or TikTok or YouTube or anything. You know,
that is a problem. You know, one of the great
things about social media is it gives voice to everybody,
and one of the terrible things about social media is
it gives voice to everybody. But I never in my
(15:43):
young years, I don't remember anyone saying yay Martin Luther
King was shot. I don't remember that.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Part of this, in my opinion, is that people are
like going to yeah, Charlie Kirk, I'm like, oh my gosh,
how can you do that? But I love Ryan Fournier
and I apologize Ryan if I'm getting your name wrong.
But that group he has been tired. No, no, he's
students for Trump.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Oh yes, Oh my gosh, you're gonna tell you are
a rock star follow.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Him and spelled f O you are n I E
R And I apologize.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
I'm probably think that. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
So he has been constantly finding people that did that,
and then he went sent into the employer and they
get fired, fired, fired, fire, fire, people from universities and said, oh,
I'm glad that he died. Guess what they got fired,
so fired from restaurants, from it, from really, I think,
all walks of life, and it's amazing that the employees
(16:47):
are like, yeah, you're gone, You're out of here. We
don't need that. And it's happening over and over again,
and even in kind of liberal groups.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Not all that's what's amazing.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Not all liberals agree with that. In fact, most I
want to say, or like, how can you say it's
a good thing for this kid?
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Well, like this moron, absolute moron.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Very accomplished, young man, articulate. Just because you don't agree,
you don't shoot the guy. So a lot of libers
agree with us on this, thankfully.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Yeah, yeah, except for there are some out there, and
some are very very verbal. One has a late night
show who has the audacity and the stupidity to say
that this young man from Utah who assassinated Charlie Kirk
was a maga crazy person. And by the way, you
(17:39):
know there's a mega. If you don't know, Maga means
make America great again. The sad part about the word maga,
the acronym maga is it sounds kind of like mago.
It took well it does it? You know, has a
bad like connotation. What it means They say it like,
(18:00):
I fun, I love you, I.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Love you too, loud of you wait till you hear
this song. It's so amazing like you it.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Is. It makes me cry, it makes me cry. It's
a song that never should have had to have been
written ever, And so's that.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
About Charlie Kirk. But I tell you the movement is huge.
I mean in London, did you see all those people
in the streets and in other countries that are with us.
It's really amazing.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
I get a picture. I'm gonna cry now.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
I was going to say thank you, Charlie. I'm so
sorry that happened, but thank you. We both do.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Thank you very I get a picture. You know, I'm
a Christian, but I have this really like casual way
to speak. So I have this picture of Jesus and
Charlie sitting on a fence and they're both wearing cowboy boots.
I'm sorry for you Christians who think Jesus only wears slippers,
but they're wearing cowboy boots, and Jesus has got his
(19:01):
arm around Charlie and he says, look, I didn't expect
you so soon, but watch this.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
And also the meme like that where Charlie's got his
arm around the little Ukrainian girl the diedal on the
train of his butcher on the I couldn't even believe it.
We had that then Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
So this is a turning point. I was editing. I
was downstairs in Madison. I was editing the the documentary
and I came up and DDI's pacing and she's like,
and I'm like, what what What's going on? What? What
did I do? Now?
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Now?
Speaker 1 (19:38):
What happened? And she says, Charlie, Charlie Kirk was just shot.
And I'm like, oh my god, is he okay? She said,
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
They and then then on social media but not the TV.
So john was much better with the controls than I am.
I said, please and sure.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Enough, and we were watching We were watching Greta Greta
Sostern Greta on the Newsmax. They were doing an interview
about other things, and of course everything went right to that.
And then it was first President Trump said that he
had been given word that Charlie had passed away. We
heard that Speaker Johnson was about to say something. He
(20:13):
got a message and then he left. That was the
message on this side, So obviously that was the message.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
I think I get chills now, still so upset, but
I like it was nine to eleven all over again,
because a lot of people I don't know if you'd
call an assassination, but they were certainly murdered. They were killed.
And I'm so horrible and I feel the same sadness
and same well.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
But this was this yo, all of America.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
You know, we get this other than the people that
are hateful to arms him, and they don't count.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
And by the way, the call to action in the
song is not about you, just you bastards. Just wait
and see what we're going to do to you. That's
not what it means. What it means is we are
going to join together in a way that we never
(21:01):
possibly imagine.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Make America great again. Thank you, Charlie Kirk. I'm so
sorry that happened, so sorry that had to happen. But
boy did it make a difference change the world.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
It changed the world.
Speaker 5 (21:17):
And and so if you have a it seems like
the one thing most I can't agree with is that
this was.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
The wrong solution. This was the wrong If you want
to silence someone who has a voice, debate them, debate them,
make them look foolish, and then walk away victorious, but
don't do something like this. And and yeah, we we
(21:52):
just don't know what what the next minute will bring anymore.
So if there's something you can do, uh donate to
turning point that's great, or or you know, uh get
involved in local government, get involved in make a change.
And you know what, I'm just I'm just naive enough
(22:13):
to say, if the change you want to make doesn't
doesn't go along with the change I want to make,
make it anyway, do whatever you can.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Let me give a little example of that. It's not
Charlie Kirk related, but I don't know. I kind of
think that people are now thinking what can I do? What? What? What?
What civic organization can I join? Or you should speak
to that, Yeah, what what can we do? Or get
involved in government? Like John said, but it was I
won't get into the details of what was in the text.
But Mayor Bob Madison said, Hey, Elise, she is our
(22:43):
comptroller Indiana. She's I gave her your number so she
could reach out about John's idea about the national debt.
John is so smart. He's so great at politics as
well as singing and being the Duke's that had their God.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
I am not great at politics at all, but I
do believe I have been given the gift of common sense.
I do I believe.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
I do believe that policy and politics go together, because
you can't get the policy up there, you will get
the right people in. So Elise and her name is Italian,
and I will get it wrong. So I'm just going
to say, Elise, who everybody knows in Indiana, are stay comed.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
He's wonderful.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Who is like the state treasurer. They changed the name
for some reason, and she John and she had a
conversation at the Lincoln Day Dinner in Madison.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Which was so much fun. Thank you to our beautiful
hotel there. Yeah, for putting on such a great event.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Party the Republican Party there, the Jefferson County Republicans.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
It was a party for the Republican Party.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
That's what the Lincoln Day Dinners are. Lincoln Reagan Day Dinners,
that's the thing. Many of them are now Reign Day
Dinners or both. So anyway, Elise handles the budget and
the money of Indiana. And by the way, Indiana, I'm
going to brag has a gigantic surplus unlike a lot
of states earned at but not US, and.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
A balanced budget and a balanced budget yep, that's why
they have a surplus.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
But John had chat with Elise and miss Elise, I
don't want to be disrespectful, Comptroller Elias uh. And she
wanted to chat with John Moore about it because it
was such a great idea.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
He said to you, I just talked to a really
good idea.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
So she set me a message and wants to talk
to John more about it. So now John's not only
singing a song to raise money for Turning Point and
to remember Charlie Kirk, he has the State Treasurer basically
saying hey, I want to know more about your idea.
May we talk? And so so impressive with this lady
Comptroller eleast.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Well, this hadn't happened. This hadn't happened. I had this.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Conversation, right, So that's true. But I just feel like
the energy and everything she just kind of like with
this tragic event which was so sad and so terrible,
but so many good things are spreading from it.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
And I'll tell you that. I'll tell you the idea.
The idea was pretty simple. We we now are in
a position if you love your country. I love my country.
I've always loved my country, but I now trust the
management of my country. Okay, So what that means to
me is yes, we have it. Now a thirty seven
trillion dollar debt. We have a thirty seven trillion dollar debt.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Has a surplus. I'm going to interject that one again.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
And there are a couple of states I think I
have a surplus. And Indiana led the way. They said, look,
this can be done, we can do it. Why can't you.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Well, miss Daniels did that. I mean, you know, you
don't know who. Miss Daniels is a wonderful man, but
he is a former governor and he said, we're going
to balance a budget, then we're going to have a surplus,
and of course Eric kept it. And Mike Bron I
don't know him. I mean the last governor I went
to college with at a different time, but I knew
(25:45):
him very well from the Republican Party, like super dupier Well,
and I would just text him about things. This guy
don't know and then the Stanna is who I loved.
He you know anyway, you have to be in good
financial shape.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
And well, yeah you have to. You can't help people
if you are helpless.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
And Indiana high right, and it's like so in Illinois,
let's just pick on Illinois because we were just there.
But we left.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Chicago was fine, but you know what it was, Calling
Joe was great in that little it's it's beautiful and
Chicago is beautiful, by the way, but we had somebody
tell us go ahead. It's just so sad we're filming.
I'm filming. Hey, Well, well.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
We went downtown. We drove down Lake Shore Drive, gorgeous drive,
and I think most I think most people have gone
to Chicago because Chicago's pretty centrally located, beautiful city that
the government is trying to destroy it. But anyway, we're
there and we're all excited, and we're taking pictures of
the sign because sixty six.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Tell them that's the beginning of Route sixties. Well that's
the northeastern beginning of Route sixty six. Uh, it ends
up or starts, depending on your perspective. In Santa Monica,
Santa Monica Pier, I think.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Most people think it's east and west. I think most
people think that.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
I know they do, but that's actually not true because
I believe the idea of joining what Root sixty six
and I'll get back to what I was saying a
minute ago, but what Root sixty six is is all
small towns have main street. Every small town, everywhere has
a main street. It's usually somewhere near the stagecoach stop,
which became the train stop, which became main street.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
The River travel just saying.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Well, if you're on a river, yes, but if you're
in the middle of Kansas.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
But came to be right because I kind of started
going like trains and runs, but before if you were
on the river.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
I'm trying to tell people, that's right. The river is
a whole different world. We live on the river and
there are folks who live in River City, the capital
t and that rhymes at p and a Stanford Pool. Okay,
But the other parts of the country all had main streets,
and then they had very limited ways to get to
(28:04):
the town next door, you know, the town east or
the town west. So they came up. I think it
was nineteen twenty six. The idea came up to join
my main street with your main street, with a thoroughfare
that made it easier for us to trade get your kicks.
(28:26):
That's Bobby Troop wrote that Bobby Troop was a doctor
in emergency but about ba a aboup. But so that's why
Route sixty six was called America's main street because it
joined individual town's main streets together. I am of the
belief that that actually started in the middle like Oklahoma City,
(28:50):
and worked its way out to the east and to
the west. That's my belief. I don't think there's any
way to prove that, but I do know that that
people in California, because that's Santa Monica Boulevard, it's.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
To They make it very obvious there it's beautiful. But yeah,
in Chicago, we have to tell you we barely found it.
I mean, they don't think they do it well enough
there sorr As Chicago, but it's true they don't.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
They don't understand. Let me finish this thot. So the
people in California, and the people in Chicago, and probably
the people in Oklahoma not Oklahoma City, but the people
in the bigger cities didn't really need Los Angeles, never
felt the need to do reciprocal trade with Barstow or
San Bernardino. They just kind of, you know where lost
(29:38):
And they still feel that way. Same thing with Chicago
and New York. Well, but New York's not on Route
sixty six. Sure, So it was the smaller towns where
somebody had great rice and somebody had great soybeans, and
somebody had great cotton, and somebody else had great coal
or whatever it is that they had. They recognized the
(29:58):
need to be able to try travel more easily, not
just on the train. You know, this was a Root
sixty six was a a fly in the ointment for
the train business because all of a sudden people didn't
have to They could just go in their pickup truck.
The goads from from of mice and men of oh brath,
(30:21):
of the grapes of wrath. Yeah, could just get in
their truck and they'd get in their in their there forred.
Remember you could put in any color as long.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
As it was and it was stacked up like the
Beverly Hill.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Abilities bit higher they could go. They could go to
the next town over or two towns over on Route
sixty six uh and and get what they need and
trade what they needed. So Root sixty six actually empowered
people and empowered commerce. Then later when we had a
threat of war either made up or reel during Eisenhower,
(30:58):
Eisenhower who was in general obviously, so he's going to
be thinking about I, like I pretending or protecting our country,
which by the way, is your first obligation as a
public servant is to defend the people that you represent.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Coman you're in cheap what is your first obligation?
Speaker 1 (31:17):
So in the event in the in the unlikely or
likely event of war on our soil, President Eisenhower came
up with the interstate system, which made it easier to
travel for our troops to get from one place to
another because they had noticed it in foreign countries. Because
(31:37):
there was no Route sixty six, there was no interstate system,
they spent more time trying to get tanks to the
next line of engagement than they spent actually engaging with
the enemy. So they built the interstate system. I'm not
for the interstate system because what that did is if
(31:58):
you're if your state coach route was here, and then
your train was here, so your main street was here,
and Route sixty six came out of either side of that.
What the interstate system did was they put it over
here or over here. So many many very thriving towns
(32:19):
on Route sixty six dried up as soon as they
cut the ribbon on the interstate says I don't believe
that was the plan for the interstate I think it was.
I think it's true that damage, yeah, but it damaged
so much commerce.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
And we loved those towns along the way of Root
sixty six, and we tried on the tour, which, by
the way, the reason we're we're in Nashville, of course,
is for Charlie's.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Charlie's words, Charlie's words.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Sorry anyway, but we were going out west in a
monor home work. We should be in Minnesota right now. Well,
guess what we're doing this because this took precedence Charlie dying.
Charlie's voice is more important than anything right now. So
we dropped everything we were doing. Happily, not in the
way that poor Charlie died, but we're happy to drop
(33:11):
what we're doing for Charlie. And here we are, and
John's going to record the song soon. And when you hear.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Somehow came right back, right back, was great, that's great.
I love you too. But so that was the was
a story about Route sixty six. That was what we
did in Chicago. That's part of uh of, not of
this song. But I was editing the documentary when we
when we heard about when I heard about this, but see, I.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Love America too, and that's what we're doing doing the documentary,
and again, please send your suggestions where to go in
Emory State. What is historic, it's important, gives you the
flavor of the state you know that you're in. So
you have been so helpful, So thank.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
You very much. I love things that are that are obvious.
I mean, I love it when people talk about about
Gettysburg all that kind of stuff. But I would rather
go to like we want to go to the Battle
of Bunker Hill. We will, we want to We're going
to go there. We want to go maybe to Appomattox.
(34:15):
We want to go to Richmond. I want to go
to Richmond cafe. You love, Oh, the bag Dad Cafe.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
You're going to go there.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
We're going to go to the bag Dad Cafe.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
Tell you they've requested two or three times. I've sent
them to someone will work with to make all that work.
But I think we're going to go to the bag
Dad Cafe. And they don't even know yet.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
Have seen them? Well they do now, haven's seen the movie?
You got to see the movie. It's a great place
in uh. It's outside of Barstow, California on Route sixty six.
UH and it's a cult film. It does okay here,
but for some reason it's it's a it's huge in France.
So when you go to the bag Dad Cafe and
(34:53):
if you happen to be on Route sixty six, it's
more likely that you will sit next to a family
speak French and a family speaking English and honey, hun
just I think that's pretty cool, the dukes.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
Of hazard being shown in French and they're singing, you know,
and oh.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
When you pointed it out that I was, I was mean?
Was Shelly? That means sheriff, Sheriff make me scared. That's
the name, for some reason version that's the name of
the French version of predict of Hazard, Shelley.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
And seriously, there's two there were two tables of French
men French women.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
Well with their kids. They were on a road trip.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
Well I don't know if they're Parisians or not.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
I sort of think they were going to and Boy
and Boys, a little town on Route sixty six that's
no longer really there's there's there's nothing there. There's a
gas station in Satin and one of.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
The Road sixty six places looks like we were training
for them, and we try to we try to go
to the restaurant, or get the gas, or get this
tub or whatever we can do to support because when
the interstate went in, forget it, they just many of
them just went away, and they're like ghost towns.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
They kind of dried up. But a lot of people
in those towns are saying, no, we're not go anywhere.
We're gonna We're gonna stick it up. God bless you
that we appreciate it. It's Seligman. Arizona is one Soman.
So Ligman has said no, and Seligman is doing great.
So they have they have spent whatever they need to
spend to put cafe. We've been the right kill cafe
to put billboard signage on the interstate so that people
(36:24):
will come and see what's called Peggy SU's diner. That's
actually it's just.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
On the wall. We were sitting at the bar, of course,
because we're both.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
Just so you know, it's not the bar. We were
sitting at the at the now sitting at the bar, well,
what do you call that? Like an ihop? By the way,
Uncle Herschel is back. We started loving him today.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
But we're sitting at the back on the side.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
Now. The barrel's not gone away, we can start going
back there today.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
John, I'm telling you, John was the first person to
like I mean people. People were not happy about it,
but John did a song about it. He's like, all right,
we're stopping. And then we went to a rest stop
and John's over here, and all these kids are going,
who is that guy over there?
Speaker 1 (37:20):
Like onime, mommy, mommy.
Speaker 2 (37:25):
And then not long after they acquiesced and they're like,
all right, we're bringing Uncle Herschel bag Wen to kill
the ballfear.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
Yesterday we were we were at breakfast yesterday and we
swear we saw Uncle Herschel here. Yes, check this video out.
Don't play the sound again, but here we are, or
play the sound. It's okay, just cut it in here.
But it was funny and we talked to our two
uh Jessica at the bar. Yeah, we always sit at
(37:55):
the bar, but they call it a bar even if
you go to a soda shop and some boss.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
Because we travel a lot, so we're sitting like this.
So we're both tall. We both have long lyings of
the bar.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
People have a tendency to to not come up and
uh and chat when you're at the bar. For some reason.
We say Jessica, who is the bartender and the the
wonderful wonderful at Midtown. I said, uh, I think that's
Uncle Herschel. She said, who. I said, it's Uncle Herschel
from Cracker Barrel. And I think she said it might
(38:28):
be Orville Reddenbacker.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
And that's an Indiana guy. That's an Indiana guy. Gotta
love it.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
So but look at that, Look at look at what happened.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
People went crazy.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
People want with.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
Cracker Barrel, We want it the same way, don't.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
Cracker Barrel had already made a four hundred million dollar decision,
which it's hard to reverse a four hundred dollars decision,
let alone four hundred million dollar decision. But she and
I and you and us and we changed their mind.
And now they announced two days ago that all across
(39:07):
the glorious United States and getting rid of the new signage,
they're getting rid of the whole new idea, and they
are putting at least the sign back, hopefully, hopefully they're
gonna put the tables back and all the all the
great old stuff back. But we made a difference. Okay,
so we made a difference. Charlie was making a difference
(39:29):
Charlie's words now that live on through us will make
a difference, but they're not I'm gonna kick your ass.
That's not what the words are. Let's look, let's talk
about this.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
Who cares If they were he may answered that, I
don't know. I mean, but the point being this, he
wanted I've called you to be great again. It was
very important to him many I have to tell you
what I was honestly seeing the kids and a wife
or whatever. But that is very important because it's true.
Speaker 1 (39:59):
He is a show.
Speaker 2 (40:01):
I love her. She is so so strong, and it
is so hard, and they're young, and they've got little
bitty baby. Is it's just heartbreaking. But I'm telling you
that woman, she is a warrior. She's great.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
So there's that took some of her words for the song.
They had no idea what they've done?
Speaker 2 (40:22):
What will do.
Speaker 1 (40:25):
Me? And you Charlie's words, ye.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
I mean, there's the heartbreak of the family and we're
all just torn up about it and these you know,
when she was talking about the little baby, it was like,
where's do doc? You know, what do you do? So heartbreaking,
But you know, Charlie Kirk, I'm telling you, I mean
she I almost think he was the same. They were
(40:57):
talking about him like, you know what I mean religious
and was starting on at the Catholic church. I'm the Catholic,
but I tell you what, they should give him the
same hood he was to say, in my opinion, whenever
you moved the world in a good way, you're a saint.
I mean, obnoestly that's out of our realm. But he
(41:18):
look at what's going on because of what he did.
Speaker 1 (41:21):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (41:21):
I mean, thank you Charlie, and thank you Erica. And
those poor little kids, but you know they're going to
know that their daddy was a hero. Their daddy was
a hero, Dada was a hero.
Speaker 1 (41:33):
Amazing yep.
Speaker 2 (41:35):
And you made that mark in the world. I mean, look,
he was very young. Jesus was very young when he died.
And I'm telling you to say it. I mean, this
was this is a movement I think to save America
and then save the world.
Speaker 1 (41:50):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (41:52):
Thank you Charlie.
Speaker 6 (41:52):
Yeah, and it's okay to disagree with but what you
what you need to do is to be prepared.
Speaker 1 (42:05):
One of the problems today, I'm the old guy sitting
on the fence going, well, you know, these young folks,
I guess that's just me. But you need young person everybody,
but young people in particular. You need to take the
time to formulate your own opinions, not just take the
(42:30):
short route by spewing out opinions that you've heard this morning,
that you that you think you may agree with, that
came up on your phone.
Speaker 2 (42:41):
That doesn't mean it's true.
Speaker 1 (42:43):
So well it doesn't mean but still even I mean,
I've had stuff come on my phone and I said,
you know, I never thought about it that way. I'm
going to run that through my my computer, my processing machine.
If you don't take the time.
Speaker 7 (42:57):
To develop, well, but the the the machine in your mind,
in your soul that processes information and comes out with
something called an educated.
Speaker 1 (43:13):
Opinion, then just be careful. Be careful because and I
think I do that, you know, I I don't think
that I just react. I think that I go, Okay,
well that hurt. Uh. But what am I going to
do with it? So I'll put it. I'll put it
(43:35):
against other information that I'll have that I have, I'll
put it against other thoughts that I've had. I'll put
it against experience, I'll put it against hypothetical things. I mean,
I will if there's a the human mind is amazing,
it'll put these things in there. What are you doing? Baby?
Ginger Ale love it? But they'll they'll, they'll. Uh. So
(43:56):
then what did what did? Uh? I don't remember who said,
chew your words very carefully before you spit them out,
but it was it was Mark Twain, Samuel Clemens. It
was Mark Twain who said, please forgive the long letter,
as I did not have time to write a short one,
(44:19):
which means the editorial process to editorial, editorial, the editorial.
I think the process may be called editorial in any event,
you know what. I think the editorial process takes longer
than the writing process, as is evidence in this song.
(44:40):
I wrote that, okay, thank you baby. I wrote this song,
the first draft of it, very quickly, and then, being
a pretty smart guy, I sent it to Brandon because
I thought, if anybody's going to be able to find
the the implied structure in this home, it's going to
(45:04):
be him. So send it to him. And then we
text back and forth, and then we spent what do
you think an hour an hour here working on the song,
and and we were delighted with it. And then this
one comes in and says, you know that just said
to me, that's great. I think you all are great.
(45:24):
But that just sounds so folksy. And she said, remember
how you were, Uh, that's fine. We easy won't.
Speaker 4 (45:35):
Give hello in this last world, Jesus the hero.
Speaker 1 (45:42):
Freedom isn't free.
Speaker 6 (45:44):
It's up to you and me, brother Robi Leech's world.
Speaker 1 (45:52):
So she said you got to put them not And
she's right, because you know I'm I'm not a subtle guy.
I do believe I can have my mind changed if
given new valid information that I put through my system.
But she stood right over here and she said, you
(46:14):
know that is beautiful, but you know it's likely that
everyone is writing beautiful tribute songs. It's like when people say,
let's have a moment of silence for Charlie. My heart
and soul says no, let's have an hour of debate
for Charlie. Let's not be quiet. I understand the moment
(46:36):
of silence, and I'm not judging anyone who has said that,
because that is what you generally do when someone has
passed away. But I think Charlie Kirk would say, let's
have okay, let's have five seconds of silence and then
let's do something. So we got to talk about the
(46:57):
new hat.
Speaker 2 (46:59):
True, but there's that thought as I was there because
I said it, John is unspoken, Charlie Kirks certainly was,
and even the widow, the beautiful America who has that strength,
my goodness, and she also was like, you have no
idea what you've done. And Charlie would just debate everyone,
and John's like that I have what you do?
Speaker 1 (47:20):
What we'll do?
Speaker 8 (47:21):
So I'm so pretty, But I.
Speaker 2 (47:23):
Thought, I think we need an anthem. I think we
need to be stronger. I think that's what they would want.
It was. I was like, I just put my opinion
out there. I wasn't in charge. John is in charge,
and he's like, yeah, I think you're right.
Speaker 1 (47:35):
So that's why I kind of well and then Brandon
immediately started rather than yeah.
Speaker 2 (47:42):
Because he's James Taylor. That's what John said.
Speaker 8 (47:44):
He said James Taylor type and it's very pretty and folksy.
But I'm like, you know, I'm not thinking pretty and
folksy right now. I think people want an anthem to
be there just talking it.
Speaker 1 (48:09):
And when I sang, you have no idea, you know
what you've done? Oh, what will do me and you
Charlie's word.
Speaker 2 (48:25):
It's like, oh my god, well you and Charlie and Erica,
miss Erica not exestly wallflowers. So it's like there's a
mission here and that's to remember Charlie and that's Charlie's words,
and that's what John's doing. And I think you all
are gonna love it.
Speaker 1 (48:40):
I think you're gonna love it. And I want you
to go out and do something right, do something, say something,
make a change, make the change that you want to see.
And if somebody else doesn't want to see it, so
what you know, unless you're making a change because you're
just mean, don't do that. Don't make some contrary change
because you're a you're a what do they call a snarky,
(49:02):
nasty person. Make it. That's the big dog, the high
dollar word. Make a change because you want it. You
want to see a change. We went when we were
filming the documentary in Chicago, a guy came up and said,
you know, it's a good way to get your phone stolen.
Speaker 2 (49:15):
Coming back to what we were talking about, and I'm thinking, well.
Speaker 1 (49:17):
This is one of the most beautiful streets in the country.
And this guy warned us he wasn't being snarky. He
was just saying it all, yeah, because somebody will run
by and steal your phone. That's horrible.
Speaker 2 (49:29):
Chicago listened to a beautiful city. And here we are.
We're like adding to the documentary the beginning of brew
sixty six. And we discussed and John sayre got the
trypot out. We got the door open in the car
and there's like a backpack of money and I mean,
you know whatever I mean, or valuables whatever. So we're
thinking it's okay, and the guy comes by and I'm
(49:49):
literally just have my phone like this filming John filming,
And he had so said to me in front of
John because he didn't horner together. But I don't think
it better anyway. He was just trying to to be helpful,
like that's that's a good way for your phone to
get stolen. And he turned around and shook us head,
don't do it.
Speaker 1 (50:07):
I'm like, you did have kind of an attitude about
like you moron, But that's okay because it was advice
well taken. Because I've got my door open. I think
the truck was running tourists.
Speaker 2 (50:17):
Yeah, yeah, the raptor was running. There's money in the
front seat.
Speaker 1 (50:23):
We're talking like forty like it. But you know stuff that.
Speaker 2 (50:26):
People like, A backpack like something people would grab easily.
So you're gonna grab my phone. You're gonna go jump
in the car and take off of the car with
a backpack.
Speaker 1 (50:37):
Yeah, but as soon as it locks, what do do
you do? I don't understand. You know, they don't know
the past code. And it's not your facial it's not
your face. I mean, I don't understand. Wy anybody would
steal a phone. It cost twenty five cents.
Speaker 2 (50:48):
Now we are literally on Michigan Avenue. Michigan Avenue. Now
it's South Michigan Avenue. But still the guy's like, that's
a good way for your phone to get stolen.
Speaker 1 (50:59):
My gosh, this has gone fast. We only have ten
minutes left.
Speaker 2 (51:02):
Well that's okay. You know we we were having a ball.
Speaker 9 (51:06):
We love that's why we won't hell no in this
last world anyhow, love music, love Nashville, and we're gonna
do that song we're gonna do.
Speaker 1 (51:24):
There's no earl. It's all you never saw. I don't know.
The courts Mountain never got him, and neither.
Speaker 2 (51:35):
Did the law.
Speaker 4 (51:37):
They say he got his left foot from his papapas
Pau Paul and nowhere no one like him Jackson Stone Waller.
Speaker 1 (51:47):
So that's of course going to be the theme song
to the new show, The Earls of Perry, So that's
we're very excited about that too. Now we have to
wait until we've already said this till spring, which is
a beautiful time in Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (52:02):
Many times you have the sister centennial of your country,
how about once, So that popped up and we're like, okay,
let's do this first and then we'll go back to
Euros a parent and it will be wonderful. But you know,
the tour as well. But my gosh, we could have
been in like wisconsinsin and Minnesota maybe are I what?
We probably have had three more states done, But when
(52:23):
Charlie Kirk got killed, it's like, all right, this is
what's important.
Speaker 1 (52:27):
We have to do it all. So we're doing this,
but it's going to be part of a new album.
I'm not sure what the album is. We are recording
three songs today. There are at least ten songs on
an album. But we are going to release this song
as soon as possible, maybe as early as when you're
watching this. The tendency is to want to fiddle with
(52:48):
the song until you get it just but we don't
really have time to do that right now.
Speaker 2 (52:54):
So inspired, it's already great.
Speaker 1 (52:57):
Be on the lookout for this. It's called Charlie's words,
and you'll be able to to hear it on spot.
Well it takes a while to do that too.
Speaker 2 (53:08):
Well how you can do it and even will onto
a YouTube thing or whatever. But this is for Charlie Kirk.
We're not making a dime there.
Speaker 1 (53:15):
Everything goes, everything goes to turning point.
Speaker 2 (53:18):
But everything will go to turning point.
Speaker 1 (53:19):
Yeah, everything going to turning point. And there have been
people who suggested that I appreciate your suggestions. We already
we already decided that. And then there are nasty, terrible,
awful people who said you shouldn't be making money off
of somebody's deaf.
Speaker 2 (53:31):
Well, no shit, we're donating money. So sorry losers that
you know. I mean, I hate it when people are like,
you should be making money, who said we word, we're not.
We are giving it up turning point in turning point,
they're doing such a great job, my goodness.
Speaker 1 (53:45):
In fact, we had somebody somebody came up with a
T shirt idea and said, oh, you should do this.
I said, no, we.
Speaker 2 (53:49):
Can't read that backing money off We can't know, absolutely not.
Speaker 1 (53:54):
Yeah, we can't profit off of this, so let's do that.
Speaker 2 (53:57):
You brought it up.
Speaker 1 (53:58):
Do you have the question? Well, we only have it's
left and we got seven minutes left.
Speaker 2 (54:03):
I can't even tell you how perfect that is. We
have seven minutes left and weren't talking about this seventh.
Speaker 1 (54:09):
Do background music?
Speaker 2 (54:12):
Seven minutes? John has brought it up, and this is
about the seventh president of the United States who happened
to be the hero of the Battle of New Orleans.
Who is that president who was a hero of the
Battle of New Orleans? And I brought that up because
we're in Tennessee.
Speaker 1 (54:33):
This is how many hints are you going to give?
Speaker 2 (54:35):
A lot? Is it?
Speaker 1 (54:37):
Where do we play golf yesterday? Okay, well we tried.
We tried to play golf. Now all of a sudden,
all of a sudden, you know, kind of like with
pig pen pig pen on peanuts. It was like in
this clod and.
Speaker 2 (54:52):
Then the horn bloffs and we have to leave.
Speaker 1 (54:55):
We have a leading. So sadly we were actually playing
for I only lost one. God played I lost it
at at the top of a tree.
Speaker 2 (55:04):
Well, I'm telling you, we'll both going trees and sometimes
they don't come down. And then we heard the big
horn and then we're like, all.
Speaker 1 (55:10):
Right, well, but then he came and said, you know
you can. You can go out and play again. But
we'd already given up the we'd already given up our
clubs in our cart.
Speaker 2 (55:19):
But we'll be back.
Speaker 1 (55:20):
And we had driven from Chicago in the morning, so
we're pretty tired. But we had a ball.
Speaker 2 (55:26):
We had a great time.
Speaker 1 (55:27):
We played golf and we had a ball.
Speaker 2 (55:29):
I get it.
Speaker 1 (55:30):
That's funny. That's funny, and we're going to record soon.
Speaker 2 (55:33):
And anyway, so let me show you the hat. I yes,
all of the hats were giving away. It's hard for
me kind of to give away. But it also gives
me joy.
Speaker 1 (55:43):
While she's saying it's hard to give away hats, Tony,
show this picture gives me joy. This is what I
came up with how to display's hats.
Speaker 2 (55:52):
I love this hat. I always say that, but I do.
I love all of them. They're so pretty and got
this nice ddy and except so it's a little difficult
for that's a per hats of many of them are straw. Straw,
in my opinion for September is wrong.
Speaker 1 (56:09):
This is handmade, right, race is amazing. Are telling you what?
Speaker 2 (56:11):
It's gorgeous, you know, folks, these are not these hats.
Speaker 1 (56:15):
These are not baseball hats, okay, which you know. We're great,
we have them online. This is a handmaid. This is vintage.
Is this vintage? Yes, my vintage hat. This is a
if this hat is a penny. It's a five hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (56:32):
It's a perfect September hat. I love it. And we're
coming up, do you remember? So this is a great
twenty first.
Speaker 1 (56:46):
Doesn't work on the right way.
Speaker 2 (56:48):
It's the other way. Yeah, and you put it on
back a little bit like. I just love it. It's
got a little netting here, and it's brown and gold,
and it has a little.
Speaker 1 (56:57):
Bow on top. If I rich that we wouldn't have
to work. I love it. It's great. Pardon for almost
disparaging this hat.
Speaker 2 (57:14):
It's a beautiful Oh, this is so beautiful, you guys.
I can't even tell you.
Speaker 1 (57:18):
I love it, love it.
Speaker 2 (57:19):
And it's got the little bow on top, a little bow.
So yes, So these hats mean a lot to me,
but I want them to mean a lot to you.
And we're happy to do these giveaways. We just went
to the post office and we sent out one, three
or four hats.
Speaker 1 (57:32):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (57:33):
So anyway, every week we give away the hat. But
here's the club fifty. Okay, here's the here's the question again.
Who is the hero at the Battle of New Orleans?
And I once the seventh President from Tennessee. So this
week's easy and you'll get this beautiful hat. It's a
beautiful September hat. I love it. I love worrying it.
(57:57):
But you need to get you need to be generous.
Speaker 1 (58:01):
So it's a perfect You don't need to be generous
to win the hat. You just need to answer the question.
Speaker 2 (58:07):
We pay you know where, we're going to send it
to you.
Speaker 1 (58:10):
Happy to do it, We're happee to do it.
Speaker 2 (58:13):
Yes, this is the hero of the Battle of New Orleans,
which was the hero there was a song written about it,
which was a hero of the War of eighteen twelve
as well.
Speaker 1 (58:25):
How many hints are you going to give? You know,
fifteen people.
Speaker 2 (58:30):
I know I'm being generous this week and the seventh President.
Speaker 1 (58:33):
From Tennessee because last week was hard. What actually, wait,
we have time. You found out something you didn't know
about I did, okay, explain that, okay.
Speaker 2 (58:47):
So the longest non girl speech was William Henry Harrison.
He was a governor of the Indiana Territory. Then his
grandson Benjamin Harrison was also president. His William Henry Harrison
was in office thirty days. Most people feel he the
reason he died was because he gave the longest inaugural
(59:10):
speech in history. It was forever. It was like two
hours some crazy time. Didn't wear his jacket.
Speaker 1 (59:16):
Older guys outside it was entieth Hello.
Speaker 2 (59:21):
Do an inaugural speech without a jacket for two hours
at seventy whatever years old, or you're gonna die. And
he did thirty days later. So his grandson Benjamin.
Speaker 1 (59:31):
Harrison gave one pneumonia.
Speaker 2 (59:33):
Right, gave one of the shortest speeches, but not the shortest.
Speaker 9 (59:38):
I was wrong.
Speaker 2 (59:39):
I learned my lesson here because I had to study
more and then I had to reevaluate. So last week
is still in process. But the shortest inaugural speech was.
Speaker 1 (59:53):
Was Washington. I think he said thank you something like that.
Speaker 2 (59:58):
He was rather Henry Harrison spoke for like two hours
or something. And I think that George Washington's speech was
like one hundred and twenty four words. That's very very short,
so I thought it was Benjamin Harrison. I think that
was Lord that I learned as a kid, being having
a history degree and being an Indiana person.
Speaker 1 (01:00:18):
But it was we just tripped over an hour.
Speaker 2 (01:00:20):
But it was one of the shortest speeches. So last
week's answer was William Henry Harrison and George Washington. This
week the question is who is the hero? Right the
Mount New Orleans from Tennessee and this president?
Speaker 1 (01:00:40):
Easy and no idea. You know what they've done, all
what we'll do, me and you Charlie's word. Thank you
folks for hanging out with us on the drinks with
Dedie and John Show.
Speaker 2 (01:01:00):
Please think about Charlie Kirk's family at the funerals.
Speaker 1 (01:01:03):
Make a difference. Make a difference today, make a difference tomorrow.
Make a difference for God's sake, make a difference. We
love you. We're glad that you watch us, and hopefull
you're entertained. We certainly are. I love you, I love you.
Speaker 2 (01:01:14):
More suggestions for places and we left Charlie Kirk and
his family
