Speaker 1 (00:19):
Well, hi everyone, I am Jeff and welcome to history.
In fact, it's about today today. It is October the eighth,
now today my co host. Yeah, he's pretty much just
a study. He graduated from the Naval Academy in Napolis.
Then he became a Marine Corps officer, served four combat
tours over in Iraq and one in Afghanistan. Then he
brought all that experience back home, and now he's doing
some really cool thing in the private sector. David, why
(00:41):
don't you go ahead introduce yourself.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Hey, it's great to be here. I always love talking
about history, and you know, so you mentioned a little
of my history with my time in the Marine Corps.
After I left the Marine Corps, I did a bunch
of stuff in corporate America and then kind of stumbled
into drones when they were starting to become a little
more than toys back and yeah, probably like twenty fourteen,
twenty fifteen, and so with the encouragement of my wife
(01:06):
at the time, I started a drone service company, which
is Vigilanti Drones and Consulting, and then you know, we
provide services like mapping and photography and do some search
and rescue operations. With that company, and then a few
years later I became a part owner of Altitude University,
which is an online education platform that teaches people everything
(01:29):
they need to know to become a commercial drone pilot
and pass the FA's Part one of seven exam. And
then more recently, with some of my business partners, we
created a company called High Stakes University, which takes all
of that that we learned in the other two companies
and applies it to helping law enforcement and security personnel
(01:49):
maximize the use of drone technology in their operations. So
along the way, I started also writing for the industry.
So I've been very fortunate to have several hundred articles
published within the drone space, and that's kind of where
I am. So I'm all things drones these days now.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Just in the last ten years or so that you've
been doing, how much has the technology drones just increased?
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Oh, it's exploded. You know, it really went from when
I first started playing around the drones in the you know,
early like twenty ten timeframe. You know, they were little
toys that dating myself, a little bit you could pick
up at radio shack, you know. But now they're you know,
they can do so many things across many different industries,
(02:33):
and you know, the technology is just amazing. I mean
everything from finding lost people to inspecting you know, pipelines
and electric grids, to you know, doing all kinds of
amazing things in cinematography. It's just a very versatile technology
that is just continuing to become more and more. You know,
(02:53):
the adaptation of it is just you know, extremely extremely
beneficial to society and a lot of entities are starting
to pick up on that. So, yeah, it is just exploded.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Well, they're just so I mean that's they're just so convenient.
I mean it from search and rescue, even inspecting your gutters,
I mean after a hailstorm or something, inspecting your riv
and the farmers out there doing their fence lines, and
I mean they're just like the wonder tool basically this
the century.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Yeah, and it's it's when you make the comparison. You know,
like any tool, it's not the ideal solution for every
single application, but there are so many things that drones
can do that just the cost difference and the efficiency
is just night and day. You know, when you look
at something like aerial photography or cinematography, you know, it
used to be that you had to pay, you know,
(03:43):
five thousand dollars to have a helicopter go out there
and fly. Now you pay some you know commercial drone
pilot one hundred and fifty bucks an hour to fly
their drone. They you know, can capture you know, pretty
much the same type of footage that you need. And
it's just you know, really really the economy scale, all
the different aspects that it could be applied to. It's
(04:03):
just amazing.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
It's pretty neat. Just north of Denver, just three days ago,
north of Denver, the suburb up there, they were getting
their their drone system set up and everything like this,
and they were demonstrating kind of it's probably teaching him
and all that kind of stuff. Now while they were
actually installing their grown system, they were able to stop,
go ahead and get an armed robber and with their
throwing and tracking the Wow. So it was like while
(04:25):
they were setting it up, they actually already got rewards
for it.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Wow. That is really really cool. Yeah, it's it's it's
amazing that the lives that have been saved by it
and the money saved and you know everything that it's
helped out with that. So yeah, I think it's going
to continue to be you know, a really really important
technology that becomes more and more useful to you know,
societies across the world.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Do you ever just go fly for the fun of it?
Speaker 2 (04:47):
You know, very rarely, just because I fly so much
for work, so it's it's kind of lost some of
the fun aspect of it in that sense. But I
do enjoy every time I get to go out there
and fly.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
So the week Warriors, do you have like a starter
drone that you think that you could recommend that maybe
this will like basically teach you the fundamentals.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Yeah. Dji is like the main company for you know,
consumer drones. They have probably seventy percent of the market globally,
and I would say they just came out with a
mini five pro drone that's you know, probably I don't
know exactly what it is, but it's it's probably under
one thousand dollars and that's a great drone to you know,
(05:28):
just kind of mess around with. You can get some
of their older mini drones that are you know, four
hundred bucks or around that range, and that's a great
level to start at if you're looking at, you know,
be able to have a decent drone with a decent
amount of flight time, that's got a pretty good camera
on it. I'd recommend starting there.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Well, that's cool, it sounds fun. Hey, do you know
what we're going to celebrate today?
Speaker 2 (05:49):
I think so. I think it's a National day for
fluffer nutters.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
That's right. Yeah, I don't think it's a year in California.
I'm in Collin, Adda. I don't think it's something that
we're big on. It is National fluffer notre Day. Yeah,
(06:22):
I think you had to grow up at Geese to
enjoy fluffernetter. Do you know what it is?
Speaker 2 (06:26):
You know, I really don't. I haven't done much with
fluffer nutters in my career.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Well, it was created in Somerville, Massachusetts in nineteen seventeen. Basically,
it's whipped marshmallows. So instead of putting jelly on your
peanut butter and jelly, yeah, they put peanut butter and
fluffer nutter. It's so too good. But I know, I
guess we get a chance to try some fluff for
nttter today. You know, it might become a fluffernetter for nettic.
Who knows, maybe that's your thing. But we can also
(06:52):
celerate Parrogi's if you.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Like those, I love those. I'm half Polish, so I'm
all about those me too.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
All right, let's going on in entertainment on October eighth,
that's back in the nineteen seventy nine number one album
was in Through the Outdoor by Led Zeppelin. Robert John
had the number one song with Sad Eyes scenes DG. Shepherd.
(07:30):
He had the number one country song with Last Cheeters
Waltz two two.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Someone's el.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
The ball games all over ash No, She's lost.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
As the player, please the list, t she Wo. What
kind of music you into?
Speaker 2 (07:56):
I like everything you know. I'm I'm a fan of
pretty much all Lately, I've been listening to a lot
of metal and rock, but I'm a fan of everything.
How about you?
Speaker 1 (08:07):
I'm pretty much I'm not too happy about the Super
Bowl halftime show. Thought, are you have bad Bunny? Or
what is it bad Bunny?
Speaker 2 (08:16):
I'm a little behind on some of the newer stuff,
but yeah, I'm I'm a fan of almost everything.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Yeah, I'm pretty mean too. I mean yeah, I've go
eighties airband to country music. It's fine. The number one
book was The number one book was A Dead Zone
by Stephen King top movie was ten Dadley Mahr. He
is having a midlife crisis and then he becomes totally
infatuated with Bo Derek, but she's down on her honeymoon
in Mexico. Okay, now we're going to talk about how
you how you teach him with your university is on that.
(08:45):
But what's the importance of actually having a drone license?
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Well, you know, there's there's a lot of rules when
you're flying around in the airspace. So obviously there's a
lot of crewd aircraft flying around at all times, you know,
especially when you're in more populated areas with airports and stuff.
So you know, when you're taking that drone up there,
it may seem like it's you know, a little tiny
toy to some people or whatnot, but that becomes danger
(09:09):
to other, you know, people flying around in the airspace.
So the importance of getting a license is being able
to understand all the rules and regulations and things that
you have to consider when you're you know, putting that
drone up in the sky. So in the same way
that we require people to get a driver's license so
they can understand the rules of the road and be
safe for other you know, motorists in themselves. That's why
(09:30):
you need a license, you know, so that when you
start taking off from the ground, you're not going to
hit somebody else in the air or do something that
will you know, harm yourself. So the FAA has you know,
designed that test to really show that you have a
you know, basic understanding of how to operate safely within
the national airspace.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
And you can get in a lot of trouble too.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
You can get in a lot of trouble. Yeah, there
are there are several people who have paid massive fines
for violating the rule rules. And you know then there's
also the danger of hitting other aircraft. So you know
a number of years ago there was a drone that
hit into a black Hawk helicopter. Thankfully nobody was injured
(10:12):
in that particular accident, but yeah, it is it is
very easy for a drone to you know, hit into
an aircraft that's flying around. So for that reason, you know,
you definitely need to know what you're doing. It's it's
something to take serious, just like you would getting behind
the wheel of a car.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Okay, And they can always learn that going which where
would you say to go? Should they go to high
stakes or Altitude.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Yeah, Altitude is the best place to start for somebody
who's looking at becoming a commercial drone pilot. So Alttude
University has a online course that's self paced. You know,
you buy the license for it, it's a lifetime license,
and you just take your time going through our videos
(10:53):
and you know there's quizites and flashcards and graded exams
and everything that really show you if you're ready to
take the tests. And we have had probably close to
twenty thousand students go through the course at this point,
and our success rate for passing the FA's exam on
the first try is a little over ninety nine percent.
So it's really only like, you know, a very very
(11:15):
small portion of people that maybe get like the test,
stay jitters or something that don't pass. But the material
is solid, and you know, our students pretty quickly can
go through it. You know, we've had some that spend
a whole weekend finishing the course and then most people,
if you do about an hour day, you can finish
it in two to three weeks and be ready to
take that exam.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
That sounds like a good deal. And then plus I
remember the first time I was given a drone for Christmas,
you know, like one of those and you grab it
and I think you just like a video game. I'm
just going to take it out and fly it. Then
I'm looking at what is it prawl or crawl and
all this kind of stuff. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Maybe of these.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Things are yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
And you know what's interesting is is many other countries
require you to actually fly a drone as part of
a test. The FA doesn't, So you could technically pass
the FA's exam to be a licensed a commercial drone
pilot having never flown a drone. So it's a little
weird that, you know, they don't do that. I think
(12:13):
it would probably be a good idea if they did.
But thankfully there's lots of platforms, Like you know, for
Altitude University, we have a really good YouTube channel that
I think we're at probably close to thirty two thousand
subscribers for the channel at this point, and we have
a lot of content on it that'll show you how
to learn to fly a drone, so that you're able
(12:33):
to do that in addition to passing the test.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Right, and that's well, you want to do it legally,
but yan, I don't know how to do it too.
You want to spend a thousand dollars on that drone
and then grasp it.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Yeah, and I have unfortunately known many people who purchased
a very expensive drone having not flown one themselves, and
destroyed it on the first day. So hopefully they had insurance,
but if not, they learned an expensive lesson exactly.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Definitely know to take your course.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Yes, yes, all right.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Let's see what happened on October the eighth, It was today,
in eighteen seventy one, it looked a really bad day
for fires in the United States. In northeast Wisconsin, they
had their deadly as fire in US history, called the
Pestigo Fire. Now, a small fire was set to clear
some land for some railroad construction in that area. They'd
been dry all summer, they've been going through a drought. Well,
a front came through and whipped that little fire up
(13:21):
into a huge fire storm. Yeah, it actually Pastigo and
twelve towns all around. It burned to the ground. The
fire burned on eight hundred and seventy five square miles.
Now that's bigger than the state of Rhode Island. Wow,
I know that was pretty bad. Now, they know for
sure that fifteen hundred to two hundred and five hundred
people actually died, but they don't know exactly how many
people though, because the sad thing is that all the
(13:44):
records that said who was living in that area they
all burned up in the fire, so they don't know
exactly who was all there. And you think of, well,
everybody's got to know about that story, Well, you probably
haven't heard about pastigos because also that same day the
Great Chicago Fire of eighteen seventy one started. Now that
burned three and a half where miles of Chicago to
the ground, three hundred people died and three hundred thousand
people were left homeless. Seventeen four and fifty buildings were burnt,
(14:07):
so of course a lot more people, a lot more impacted.
So that's why Pestigo kind of got pushed off to
the side. Now, in that Chicago fire, was the first
story that came out and it kind of stuck for
a long time, was that a lantern was kicked over
in Miss O'Leary's barn. It was just made up by
a reporter who wanted to get the scoop on everybody.
It was fake nails. Nobody still knows exactly how or
why that actually happened. Nineteen oh six in London, England,
(14:29):
Carl Nessler he invented the first device that could put
waves and curls in women's hair. Now they demonstrated. He
went and got some women together and he put a
dozen brass curlers in each of their hair. Eat. Those
curlers weighed two pounds, and the women had to sit
there for six hours. But it did work. Something we
don't have to worry about.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Six hours. That's a long time.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
With a curl with twenty four pounds of curlers in
your hair.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Yeah, wow, dedication exactly, you know. Also today this is
in in France. World War One was going on. Nineteen eighteen.
US soldier Alvin York became a legend. York and his
fellow soldiers were behind enemy lines when a German machine
gun opened fire on them. Six of the soldiers were
immediately killed. The rests grabbed the wounded in a dove
(15:15):
for cover. As they were treating the wounded, York single
handedly charged the machine gun, killing twenty five German soldiers.
Now the Germans thought that he was out of ammo,
so six of them started charging at him with their bayonets.
York pulled out his service pistol and shot all six
of them. The German officer in charge ran out of
AMMO and he surrendered to York. So York then marched
(15:37):
one hundred and thirty two German prisoners back to American Lions.
Then Private York was immediately promoted to Sergeant York he
was awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions. And
the interesting thing is York originally tried to dodge the
draft because he claimed he was a conscientious objector and
didn't want to kill people. The Army obviously didn't buy it,
(15:57):
and his actions would prove that he was able to
do that.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Yeah. Total badass.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Yeah, Yeah, I mean that's that's a pretty legit. That's
definitely a story that'll get you a drink at the bar.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
That's a lot of drinks at the bar.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Yeah. Also, in nineteen forty five, this one's near and
dear to my heart. I would not have survived my
twenties had it not been for this invention. PIERC. Spencer
was working for Raytheon when he discovered the microwave oven. Yeah,
it was actually a wartime technology used in radars, and
as he was doing experiments, he noticed that the candy
(16:30):
bar in his pocket had melted from the waves. So
he ended up on this day in nineteen forty five
getting the microwave of and patented. It was six feet tall,
weighed seven hundred and fifty pounds, and cost five thousand dollars,
a bit more than the one that I first had.
That kept me alive with my ramen.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
LEO, say, that's a lot. That's a really expensive ramen cooker.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
In nineteen sixty two, North Korea they announced they had
a one hundred percent voter turnout and for their election.
You know, I know, it's even more miraculous. All one
hundred percent voted for the same guy.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Amazing.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Okay, so are you into boating in water sports?
Speaker 2 (17:09):
You know, I haven't done much voting myself. Used to
surf back in the day, but that's that was when
I was a much younger mammal.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Sure. Well, in Australia nineteen seventy eight, Ken warby now
he got his jet boat up to three hundred and
seventeen point five eight miles an hour. Now he was
on a river over there in Australia, they had been damned.
Now that record for fastest anybody's gone on water, it
still stands today, almost fifty years later. Thirteen people have
tried to break it, and seven died trying to break
that record. So and now, to be honestly, no one's
(17:36):
even gotten close. Now we've talked a little bit about altitude.
That's more for that's Layman who wanted to be commercial
fibers high stakes. Now that is pretty cool what you
guys are doing up there.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Yeah, my business partner, Daphne had actually come up with
the idea and you know, between her myself and one
of my partners at Altitude University, you know, we had
kind of talked about how we can take the knowledge
that we are already have and what's already going on
in the space and apply it to you know, some
of the expansion of drone technology into law enforcement and
(18:08):
private security and so basically High State University was born
out of that. And what we do is we make
you know, there's a lot of agencies out there that
they want to get drone technology. In many cases they
have grants to you know, get this technology, but they
don't have any in house expertise. And because of the
way that you know, officers or security personnel have such
(18:30):
a high turnover from moving from one position to another,
it doesn't make sense to get one person fully trained
on all things drones and then you know, they move
off and you've lost your subject matter expertise. So what
we provide is, you know, we go in there and
we build out their program so that it's sustainable and
meets the needs of whatever it is that they want
to do with that technology. So that's everything from like
(18:52):
writing manuals to training how to fly, to getting people certified.
You know, it kind of took what we had learned
in the other companies and put it into a nice
way that we can bundle services that are be spoke
for each individual agency or you know, security operation.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Now, do you guys kind of recommend what drones they
should have or do you just work with what drones
they actually buy?
Speaker 2 (19:14):
You know, it's a combination of both. In a lot
of cases, if they're just starting, we are making those
recommendations and can source those drones for them. But what
we find with a lot particularly the law enforcement agencies,
are you know, especially when things were picking up with
when the wars were going on in Iraq and Afghanistan,
there were a lot of grants and funds that were available,
(19:38):
and even today with homeland security and stuff where they'll
get a drone because they had the money to get
a drone, but they didn't do any of the extra
stuff to you know, learn how to fly it or
know how they could use it. And that thinks. So
a lot of times we'll come into an organization that
already has their drone equipment and then we build the
program around you know, what they have, unless it's you know,
(19:59):
so outdated that they need to move to something else.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
So drones kind of like the microwave oven that they've
gotten smaller over the years too as technology has gotten better.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Yeah, it's kind of a combination of things. You know,
the size, they stay pretty much the same size for
the different applications. You know, they're more portable, made of stronger,
lighter materials and things like that. But where you really
see the innovation is in the payload system. So you know,
whether it's got a camera, or it's got some kind
of lidar or some other you know thing like a
(20:29):
gas detector or whatnot. Those are where you really see
like the big innovation and then in things like battery technology,
so that you know, instead of getting ten minutes of
flight time on a battery, you now have thirty or
forty or fifty or more. And so you know, it's size.
You know, you can find things that are smaller or
bigger depending on your needs, but it's really the payload
(20:50):
that you see the most innovation. And then now you're
really starting to see a lot of inputs with AI
and machine learning and automation so that you know, the
drone can effectively operate without a pilot.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Sure, and I'm sure that battery life is extended, but
how far can yet just the regular drone actually travel
away from like the home base on its own, you.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Know, it really depends on the drone. But the interesting thing,
particularly in this country, you know, is the technology is
actually able to perform far beyond what the regulations allow.
You know. So you know, you have in the US,
you're limited to four hundred feet above ground level to
fly your drone, whereas the drone itself could go thousands
(21:33):
of feet you know, in the air. And same thing
with distance. You know, a lot of times you can
you know, easily find drones for the commercial use that
can go you know, probably fifteen kilometers out and still
operate fine. But the FAA says you can only operate
a drone up to where you can visually see it
without any you know, you can't use like binoculars or
(21:56):
anything like that. So the unaided I needs to be
able to see it, so that limits it to about
a mile roughly, you know, before it's really really hard
to see that, so they can go really far out there.
But until regulations update, you know, it's it's only about
a mile that you're going to be able to legally fly.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
See, folks, that's why you want to definitely go do
the online course because yeah, what.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Do you there are waivers you can get, you know,
to to fly further, but you know, you need to
do a lot of paperwork and show how you're going
to make it safe so that you know it's it's
going to be able to operate without causing any issues
at that distance. Interestingly, the fa has just put out,
you know, a couple of months ago, a proposed set
of rules to allow that to be easier, and it's
(22:40):
in the process of getting like the public comment on
you know, what people like and don't like about it.
But probably in the near future it'll be a little
easier at least for like organizations and companies, not so
much the individual person, but organizations and companies to fly
beyond visual line of sight.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
So one of your students comes up there and says,
you know, I really like drones. I want to do it.
What kind of advice would you give them on what
we're after they get their certification and everything where they
can actually apply for jobs.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
At Yeah, well, there's there's really two paths that you
can take. You can take the path of you want
to be employed as a drone pilot by somebody. So
in that case, you know, you want to look for
jobs that are like with the electric company or with
survey companies and things like that that you can find
on you know, job sites like you know LinkedIn or
Indeed or whatnot. And then if you want to operate
(23:28):
on your own, whether that's as you know, kind of
a side hustle or you want to you know, set
up your own LLC or whatnot, in that case, it's
really about starting in an area that you have a
good match of you know, availability in your market and
the equipment for it. So for most people who are
just starting because they're not going to be able to
invest in more high end drones. They'll look at starting
(23:51):
in something like real estate photography. You know, fairly easy
to get into. You know, you can pretty quickly talk
to realtors in your area and see, you know, what
they're charging or they're willing to pay for your services
and get in there. But yeah, it's if you're looking
for a nine to five where you get a four
oh one k and then medical insurance and all that,
you want to look at the job boards and if
you're looking at starting your own empire, you want to,
(24:13):
you know, really start analyzing the market and see where
your skills and equipment match up.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
The easiest, I'm sure for young people anyway, military probably
the best way to start to hop when you think.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
You know, for young people, you actually can get your
license once you're sixteen, so you know, before you can
even join the military, you could technically be a commercial
drone pilot, which you know, you'd be making much more
money than I was making mowing lawns at sixteen, so
you know you can start without that. The military is
(24:46):
adopting a lot of small drones, so that you know
there are you could go into you know, pretty much
any of the services and get exposure to that. But
I would say your your best bet is if you're
sixteen and you get your license, just start partner up
with some of the drone service providers in your area,
you know, working for them as as a you know,
ten ninety nine or or you know, even as an employee,
(25:08):
and start building your experience there.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Yeah, that's a really good call right there. Basically pay
for your college, that's for sure.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Yeah, And it's it's good pay. You know, you can
even starting out, Uh, you know, you can get fifty
dollars an hour or so, and very quickly, when you
build your clientele and and you know your expertise, it's
very common to get one hundred and fifty to two
hundred dollars an hour as a commercial drone pilot.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
That's cool, all right. Let's see. It was born on
October the eighth, jo joke.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Joke, dope shot, dish ships Day.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Please don't like this, Shimuday.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
We don't simple toage. He was like dish ships Day,
and you know we don't give up.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Eddie Rickenbacker. He was born in Columbus, Ohio, in eighteen ninety.
Now he has a fighter pilot during World War One.
Now it's twenty six aero combat victories during they're basically
dog that's still the most of any US pilot. Now
he was the most awarded US serviceman for valor in
World War One. Now, before the war, Eddie was a
race car driver. So then after the war he had
a little cash in his pocket, he bought the Indianapolis
(26:11):
Motor Speedway. He kept it for about twenty years, but
made the race he age and then he sold it.
Now Eddie he remained in consultant for the United States
Army Air Force. Basically they were pretty nice as they
were combined at that time. He did the rest of
his life. Yeah, he was a big Thames consultant. He
had married nineteen twenty two and they had two sons.
Eddie he died from pneumonia in nineteen ninety three at
eighty two years old. So how much more technology do
(26:34):
you think you are in drones than Eddie's and airplanes back
in that time.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
You know, it's probably pretty comparable. I'd imagine that with
the technology that's in there now. You know, there's a
lot of things that he probably wished he was able
to have back then, but it sounds like he did
pretty good with what he had.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Yeah, and you know, the manly part of him because
obviously the Red Baron had gotten shot down before the
United States entered World War One. But you know those
pilots back then, I could have got him. You know,
I would have gotten.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
It, you know, Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Matizma thing actor paug and he's eighty six. He was
born in Paramatta, Australia in nineteen thirty nine. Now Paramatta
it's a suburb of Sydney, so yeah, he never lived
in the outback on the bush or anything. He was
kind of a rich little boy, but he sure acted
like it and made a lot of money off it.
Got famous starring as his crocodile Dundee in those movies.
He is also in Almost An Angel and Flipper he
(27:24):
is now. Between nineteen fifty eight and nineteen eighty nine,
he married and divorced his wife twice. Now they had
five children between those two marriages. Then he married actors
Linda Koslowski. They were married for twenty four years and
they had one son. So do you remember Saturday Night
Live the beginning? Too young for the beginning.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
I was a little young for that. I was born
in seventy nine actually, so I just missed it. Also
moving away from Australia. Actor Chevy Chase is eighty two today.
He was born in Manhattan, New York. In nineteen forty three.
He was on Saturday Night Live, but only for a
year and a half. Then he went into movies. He
did spies like Us Three Amigos, the Flush Movies, the
(28:03):
Vegas Vacation Movie, or the Vacation movies, my favorite being
in the Vegas Vacation one. On Saturday Night Live. Chevy
and Bill Murray actually got into a fistfight one time
in Jim Belushi's dressing room. Yeah, Bill said something about
Chevy's ex wife. Chevy said something about Bill being ugly
and fistsworth rome. They did make up and starting Caddyshack together.
(28:24):
Chevy married his third wife in nineteen eighty two and
they have three daughters, also born today. Writer R. L.
Stein is eighty two. He was born in Columbus, Ohio.
He's considered to be this Stephen King of children's books.
Wrote over two hundred and thirty of the Goosebumps books
and the Fear Street books. All total, he has written
over four hundred and thirty books and sold over four
(28:46):
hundred million copies. He married in nineteen sixty nine and
they have one son. Pretty sure for bedtime stories, he
probably preferred mom telling the stories than dad.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Thanks you a big reader, I am.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
I love reading, YEA, not too much of fiction, but
I really love reading about history and some mathematics, topics.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
And some of those historical fiction. Her kind of really
twist your mind too. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
I actually read one once that was a kind of
a sci fi twist to that with World War two
time period and aliens attacking the Earth and all the
world leaders that were fighting each other in World War Two.
I had to get together to beat them. It was
a pretty interesting novel.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
That was actually a pretty good transition into Aliens. Actress
Sigourney Weaver. She was born in New York City in
nineteen forty nine seventy six today now. She first hit
in the movie Alien. Then she was nominated for Oscars
for Aliens, then Gorillas in the Mist and Working Girl.
I think her best movie honestly was Galaxy Quest. You
see that one?
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Oh? I love Galaxy Quest? Yeah, yeah, I see him
many times.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Love it be her biggest money making movie. That was Avatar.
She has done a lot of theater. I didn't know
that Sigourney. She got married nineteen eighty four and they
have a daughter.
Speaker 5 (29:58):
Are you going to.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Don't want to dance by standing?
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Tell man, how are you gonna do it?
Speaker 5 (30:08):
If you really don't want to dance by standing?
Speaker 4 (30:11):
The wall?
Speaker 1 (30:15):
People saying come on the.
Speaker 5 (30:21):

Speaker 1 (30:21):
That was not him singing it. In fact, he has
never sing lead. But the group is named for him.
Robert cool Bell. He's seventy five. He's born in Youngstown, Ohio,
in nineteen fifty. He is the last founding member of
Cooling the Game. They're still alive, so him and the
new Cooling Gang. They're on on tour right now. If
you want to go see him out now. They are
schedul They have date schedule all the way through twenty
twenty six.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
Now.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Cooling the Game they formed in nineteen sixty four when
Robert and six of his high school friends they got together. Now,
they couldn't come up with the name. They were playing
gigs around New Jersey, didn't have any kind of name,
so finally they just went with his nickname. They said,
all right, cool In the game and Robert he got
the name cool. I gave it to himself when he
was a little boy. Now some of their big hits
that you probably no, we're celebration, get down on it
(31:03):
too hot. Now they've sold over seventy million records. Cool
he married nineteen seventy one, still together. He married his
high school sweetheart. Yep, they ended. She died in twenty eighteen.
Up some sorre, I opted to delete that. Up she
would have read, father O good all right. Some of
their hits are celebration, get down on it too hot.
They've sold over seventy million records now. Cool he married
(31:24):
nineteen seventy one, was high school sweetheart. There together until
she died in twenty eighteen. They had two sons, Urabo
and you Can.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
That was CC Winans. She is sixty one today, born
in Detroit in nineteen sixty four. She's the eighth of
the ten Winans kids. The whole family is talented and
successful in music. CC started singing in public when she
was only eight years old. Now she is the best
selling and most awarded gospel singer of all time. She
has also had a lot of success singing duets with
(32:12):
her brother beb. She has won seventeen Grammy Awards, which
ranks her fourth in the list of artists who have
won the most awards for singing. Just for reference, Beyonce's
number one at thirty three, So fourth at seventeen. That's
a pretty impressive cec Is on tour. She has shows
scheduled until next September. She and her husband have one
son and one daughter. Moving into the world of acting again.
(32:34):
Actor Matt Damon was born today in Cambridge, Massachusetts, nineteen
seventies fifty five today. His first movie was a Mystic Pizza.
He of course won a Oscar for writing Goodwill Hunting
with Ben Affleck. Matt has been nominated for Oscars for
acting in Goodwill Hunting, in Victus and The Martian. His
biggest money making movie is Oppenheimer. In two thousand and three,
(32:56):
Matt was actually filming a movie in Miami and went
to a bar to have a drink. Obviously, he was
recognized by fans and they were pursuing him for pictures
and autographs and they were getting kind of touchy. So
he actually went behind the bar and asked the bartender
if he could hang out there and have some space
while he finished his drink. She told him he couldn't
just stand there and did he know how to poor drinks?
(33:16):
So Matt said he had played a bartender in a
movie once and started pouring drinks. She put him to
work and he made her a lot of money and
tips that day. They ended up getting married. Two years later.
He adopted her daughter and they have three more daughters.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
Since that's a pretty cool, cute meat story, isn't it. Yeah,
for sure, especially in Holly. I'm just still together and
happy all these years later.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Is this guy? Yeah, definitely a rare occurrence.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
Well, compare Matt to this guy TV personality Nick Cannon.
He was born in San Diego in nineteen eighties forty five.
Today now he says he's a comedian and rapper, but
I'm just gonna say he's a TV host. He houstin
America's Got Talent, Lipsig Battle's been hosted Mass Singer since
twenty nineteen on VH one, and he's been hosting Wild
and Wild and Out since two thousand and five. Have
(34:04):
you ever watched that?
Speaker 2 (34:05):
I have not.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
I've never heard of it either, now, Nick Nick. He
was married to Mariah Carey for eight years. He should
have probably got combat paid for that, don't you think.
But here's where it gets interesting. Okay, they had twins.
They had a boy and a girl who were twins
right now. They divorced in twenty sixteen. Since then, Nick
has had ten more kids with five other women. Wow,
(34:28):
all right, so he's got to really keep working. We
get that child support up.
Speaker 4 (34:32):
He gave me a wissted in the trash hits Saustanding
the trashy, So give me your love song love a
cause wat shit so on on the standa side should
Crenect look.
Speaker 5 (34:53):
On the pay.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
So that, of course was Bruno Mars. He is forty today,
having been born in Honolulu in nineteen eighty five. His
band The Hooligans have been with him since the beginning
in twenty ten. They are really popular for their live shows.
Some of the number one songs they have is just
the Way You Are, what we just heard, Grenade, Locked
out of Heaven, and When I Was Your Man. His
biggest hit was with Mark ronson Uptown Funk. Brunos sold
(35:19):
over one hundred and fifty million records and he's been
dating his girlfriend since twenty eleven.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
I think you put a ring on that by now,
wouldn't you Yeah, you would think so, right, Okay, so
we've kind of let you all know basically how you
can go on for altitude and for high Staggs.
Speaker 6 (35:38):
What do you want?
Speaker 1 (35:38):
What do you want everybody to know about drones and
what they need to be doing.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
Yeah, I think it's just important to remember that drones
are a great technology that has a lot of useful
on this So when you see one up in the sky,
it is probably doing something that is very helpful to society.
And if you want to get into that yourself, check
out out to university or contact me on you know,
link in, or you know with Vigilanti Drones and consulting
(36:04):
and High Stakes University. Look any of those up and
you'll find me and my partners and we'll be able
to help you make the most out of your drone endeavors.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
And on the show notes today, we'll have all links
to make an nice and easy for you. So yeah,
I definitely check out all that kind of stuff. So
do you think it's going to come to the point
where all are like pizzas and Amazon and stuff are
going to be delivered by drones.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
I think it'll come to the point where a lot
of it is, but there's always going to be, you know,
a need for multiple things. You know. It's like I said,
drones are you know, it's like a hammer or screwdriver.
There's there's good applications for it, and then there's applications
that you know aren't the best for it. So I
think that as the technology improves and regulations you know, evolve,
(36:44):
we'll see them you know, much more prevalent in our
daily lives. But you know, there will still be the
need to deliver things the way that they're being delivered now.
And and you know, a lot of the things that
drones do there will still be like the manual way
of doing it as well. It's just you know, when
the opportunity is there to have a tool that'll be
(37:05):
more efficient and you know, easier to use and whatnot,
drones will fill that void. Otherwise something else will, you.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
Know, when it comes to drones. I've been to a
couple of drone shows. Now visually they are just incredible.
You just watch them and all that kind of stuff,
and but I still like the boom of fireworks.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
Yeah, I actually prefer the drone shows, you know, big surprise,
but it's mainly for the environmental side. You know, fireworks
are you know, very destructive for the environment in comparison
to drone shows. And also, you know, I have dogs
and they hate the fireworks, so drone shows are the
way to go in my book.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
Well, man, they do some incredible things with them, that's
for sure.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
Yeah, yeah, all right.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
Is there anything else you want to talk about today?
Speaker 2 (37:52):
No? I think that's it. You know, just always glad
to learn about historical facts. And I really appreciate you
and your listeners giving me an opportunity to tell you
about what I do in the drone industry and how
it can really help society.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
Yeah. I definitely make sure you get with David and
his guys out there. Man, that's a really awesome service
for you guys to look up. Now you want to
we end with a quote of the day. You got
a pretty good quote today. Do you want to read it?
Speaker 2 (38:13):
Yeah? Today's quote comes from Ernest Hemingway. There is nothing
noble in being superior to your fellow man. True nobility
is being superior to your former self.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
That is definitely true. Well, thank you very much for
being here today, man, it's been fun. Really talking to
you and learning a lot you.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
Too, Jeff, I really appreciate the opportunity.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
All right, thank you all for listening. Your appreciate you
forget to follow us on you listen to us on.
Definitely check out today's show notes and descriptions so you
can get all the links over to all David's sites
and everything. Now we're going to end today with our
country underground radio artists. The day it comes from Chelsea
out there in Sacramento, California. She wants to hear California's
Buck four and his son Cowgirl. You guys have an
(38:50):
awesome day. We'll talk tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (38:53):
She's racing Lowen Graham, breaking new harns.
Speaker 6 (39:06):
Some on Roudio Town. When they turn on the lights,
she'll be wearing the crowns.
Speaker 2 (39:21):
If anybody sees my calgarl.
Speaker 3 (39:26):
All I know is she run off in that ressky morning.
Let me blue is blue can be.
Speaker 6 (39:35):
Deep down in my heart.
Speaker 3 (39:38):
There's a hard ridge.
Speaker 5 (39:39):
Stormment for she'sing only shelter I see if anybody sees
my Calgar, these funderbaggies. If anybody sees my Calgar, send
her bag and me no
Well, hi everyone, I am Jeff and welcome to history.
In fact, it's about today today. It is October the eighth,
now today my co host. Yeah, he's pretty much just
a study. He graduated from the Naval Academy in Napolis.
Then he became a Marine Corps officer, served four combat
tours over in Iraq and one in Afghanistan. Then he
brought all that experience back home, and now he's doing
some really cool thing in the private sector. David, why
(00:41):
don't you go ahead introduce yourself.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Hey, it's great to be here. I always love talking
about history, and you know, so you mentioned a little
of my history with my time in the Marine Corps.
After I left the Marine Corps, I did a bunch
of stuff in corporate America and then kind of stumbled
into drones when they were starting to become a little
more than toys back and yeah, probably like twenty fourteen,
twenty fifteen, and so with the encouragement of my wife
(01:06):
at the time, I started a drone service company, which
is Vigilanti Drones and Consulting, and then you know, we
provide services like mapping and photography and do some search
and rescue operations. With that company, and then a few
years later I became a part owner of Altitude University,
which is an online education platform that teaches people everything
(01:29):
they need to know to become a commercial drone pilot
and pass the FA's Part one of seven exam. And
then more recently, with some of my business partners, we
created a company called High Stakes University, which takes all
of that that we learned in the other two companies
and applies it to helping law enforcement and security personnel
(01:49):
maximize the use of drone technology in their operations. So
along the way, I started also writing for the industry.
So I've been very fortunate to have several hundred articles
published within the drone space, and that's kind of where
I am. So I'm all things drones these days now.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Just in the last ten years or so that you've
been doing, how much has the technology drones just increased?
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Oh, it's exploded. You know, it really went from when
I first started playing around the drones in the you know,
early like twenty ten timeframe. You know, they were little
toys that dating myself, a little bit you could pick
up at radio shack, you know. But now they're you know,
they can do so many things across many different industries,
(02:33):
and you know, the technology is just amazing. I mean
everything from finding lost people to inspecting you know, pipelines
and electric grids, to you know, doing all kinds of
amazing things in cinematography. It's just a very versatile technology
that is just continuing to become more and more. You know,
(02:53):
the adaptation of it is just you know, extremely extremely
beneficial to society and a lot of entities are starting
to pick up on that. So, yeah, it is just exploded.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Well, they're just so I mean that's they're just so convenient.
I mean it from search and rescue, even inspecting your gutters,
I mean after a hailstorm or something, inspecting your riv
and the farmers out there doing their fence lines, and
I mean they're just like the wonder tool basically this
the century.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Yeah, and it's it's when you make the comparison. You know,
like any tool, it's not the ideal solution for every
single application, but there are so many things that drones
can do that just the cost difference and the efficiency
is just night and day. You know, when you look
at something like aerial photography or cinematography, you know, it
used to be that you had to pay, you know,
(03:43):
five thousand dollars to have a helicopter go out there
and fly. Now you pay some you know commercial drone
pilot one hundred and fifty bucks an hour to fly
their drone. They you know, can capture you know, pretty
much the same type of footage that you need. And
it's just you know, really really the economy scale, all
the different aspects that it could be applied to. It's
(04:03):
just amazing.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
It's pretty neat. Just north of Denver, just three days ago,
north of Denver, the suburb up there, they were getting
their their drone system set up and everything like this,
and they were demonstrating kind of it's probably teaching him
and all that kind of stuff. Now while they were
actually installing their grown system, they were able to stop,
go ahead and get an armed robber and with their
throwing and tracking the Wow. So it was like while
(04:25):
they were setting it up, they actually already got rewards
for it.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Wow. That is really really cool. Yeah, it's it's it's
amazing that the lives that have been saved by it
and the money saved and you know everything that it's
helped out with that. So yeah, I think it's going
to continue to be you know, a really really important
technology that becomes more and more useful to you know,
societies across the world.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Do you ever just go fly for the fun of it?
Speaker 2 (04:47):
You know, very rarely, just because I fly so much
for work, so it's it's kind of lost some of
the fun aspect of it in that sense. But I
do enjoy every time I get to go out there
and fly.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
So the week Warriors, do you have like a starter
drone that you think that you could recommend that maybe
this will like basically teach you the fundamentals.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Yeah. Dji is like the main company for you know,
consumer drones. They have probably seventy percent of the market globally,
and I would say they just came out with a
mini five pro drone that's you know, probably I don't
know exactly what it is, but it's it's probably under
one thousand dollars and that's a great drone to you know,
(05:28):
just kind of mess around with. You can get some
of their older mini drones that are you know, four
hundred bucks or around that range, and that's a great
level to start at if you're looking at, you know,
be able to have a decent drone with a decent
amount of flight time, that's got a pretty good camera
on it. I'd recommend starting there.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Well, that's cool, it sounds fun. Hey, do you know
what we're going to celebrate today?
Speaker 2 (05:49):
I think so. I think it's a National day for
fluffer nutters.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
That's right. Yeah, I don't think it's a year in California.
I'm in Collin, Adda. I don't think it's something that
we're big on. It is National fluffer notre Day. Yeah,
(06:22):
I think you had to grow up at Geese to
enjoy fluffernetter. Do you know what it is?
Speaker 2 (06:26):
You know, I really don't. I haven't done much with
fluffer nutters in my career.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Well, it was created in Somerville, Massachusetts in nineteen seventeen. Basically,
it's whipped marshmallows. So instead of putting jelly on your
peanut butter and jelly, yeah, they put peanut butter and
fluffer nutter. It's so too good. But I know, I
guess we get a chance to try some fluff for
nttter today. You know, it might become a fluffernetter for nettic.
Who knows, maybe that's your thing. But we can also
(06:52):
celerate Parrogi's if you.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Like those, I love those. I'm half Polish, so I'm
all about those me too.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
All right, let's going on in entertainment on October eighth,
that's back in the nineteen seventy nine number one album
was in Through the Outdoor by Led Zeppelin. Robert John
had the number one song with Sad Eyes scenes DG. Shepherd.
(07:30):
He had the number one country song with Last Cheeters
Waltz two two.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Someone's el.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
The ball games all over ash No, She's lost.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
As the player, please the list, t she Wo. What
kind of music you into?
Speaker 2 (07:56):
I like everything you know. I'm I'm a fan of
pretty much all Lately, I've been listening to a lot
of metal and rock, but I'm a fan of everything.
How about you?
Speaker 1 (08:07):
I'm pretty much I'm not too happy about the Super
Bowl halftime show. Thought, are you have bad Bunny? Or
what is it bad Bunny?
Speaker 2 (08:16):
I'm a little behind on some of the newer stuff,
but yeah, I'm I'm a fan of almost everything.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Yeah, I'm pretty mean too. I mean yeah, I've go
eighties airband to country music. It's fine. The number one
book was The number one book was A Dead Zone
by Stephen King top movie was ten Dadley Mahr. He
is having a midlife crisis and then he becomes totally
infatuated with Bo Derek, but she's down on her honeymoon
in Mexico. Okay, now we're going to talk about how
you how you teach him with your university is on that.
(08:45):
But what's the importance of actually having a drone license?
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Well, you know, there's there's a lot of rules when
you're flying around in the airspace. So obviously there's a
lot of crewd aircraft flying around at all times, you know,
especially when you're in more populated areas with airports and stuff.
So you know, when you're taking that drone up there,
it may seem like it's you know, a little tiny
toy to some people or whatnot, but that becomes danger
(09:09):
to other, you know, people flying around in the airspace.
So the importance of getting a license is being able
to understand all the rules and regulations and things that
you have to consider when you're you know, putting that
drone up in the sky. So in the same way
that we require people to get a driver's license so
they can understand the rules of the road and be
safe for other you know, motorists in themselves. That's why
(09:30):
you need a license, you know, so that when you
start taking off from the ground, you're not going to
hit somebody else in the air or do something that
will you know, harm yourself. So the FAA has you know,
designed that test to really show that you have a
you know, basic understanding of how to operate safely within
the national airspace.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
And you can get in a lot of trouble too.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
You can get in a lot of trouble. Yeah, there
are there are several people who have paid massive fines
for violating the rule rules. And you know then there's
also the danger of hitting other aircraft. So you know
a number of years ago there was a drone that
hit into a black Hawk helicopter. Thankfully nobody was injured
(10:12):
in that particular accident, but yeah, it is it is
very easy for a drone to you know, hit into
an aircraft that's flying around. So for that reason, you know,
you definitely need to know what you're doing. It's it's
something to take serious, just like you would getting behind
the wheel of a car.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Okay, And they can always learn that going which where
would you say to go? Should they go to high
stakes or Altitude.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Yeah, Altitude is the best place to start for somebody
who's looking at becoming a commercial drone pilot. So Alttude
University has a online course that's self paced. You know,
you buy the license for it, it's a lifetime license,
and you just take your time going through our videos
(10:53):
and you know there's quizites and flashcards and graded exams
and everything that really show you if you're ready to
take the tests. And we have had probably close to
twenty thousand students go through the course at this point,
and our success rate for passing the FA's exam on
the first try is a little over ninety nine percent.
So it's really only like, you know, a very very
(11:15):
small portion of people that maybe get like the test,
stay jitters or something that don't pass. But the material
is solid, and you know, our students pretty quickly can
go through it. You know, we've had some that spend
a whole weekend finishing the course and then most people,
if you do about an hour day, you can finish
it in two to three weeks and be ready to
take that exam.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
That sounds like a good deal. And then plus I
remember the first time I was given a drone for Christmas,
you know, like one of those and you grab it
and I think you just like a video game. I'm
just going to take it out and fly it. Then
I'm looking at what is it prawl or crawl and
all this kind of stuff. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Maybe of these.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Things are yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
And you know what's interesting is is many other countries
require you to actually fly a drone as part of
a test. The FA doesn't, So you could technically pass
the FA's exam to be a licensed a commercial drone
pilot having never flown a drone. So it's a little
weird that, you know, they don't do that. I think
(12:13):
it would probably be a good idea if they did.
But thankfully there's lots of platforms, Like you know, for
Altitude University, we have a really good YouTube channel that
I think we're at probably close to thirty two thousand
subscribers for the channel at this point, and we have
a lot of content on it that'll show you how
to learn to fly a drone, so that you're able
(12:33):
to do that in addition to passing the test.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Right, and that's well, you want to do it legally,
but yan, I don't know how to do it too.
You want to spend a thousand dollars on that drone
and then grasp it.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Yeah, and I have unfortunately known many people who purchased
a very expensive drone having not flown one themselves, and
destroyed it on the first day. So hopefully they had insurance,
but if not, they learned an expensive lesson exactly.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Definitely know to take your course.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Yes, yes, all right.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Let's see what happened on October the eighth, It was today,
in eighteen seventy one, it looked a really bad day
for fires in the United States. In northeast Wisconsin, they
had their deadly as fire in US history, called the
Pestigo Fire. Now, a small fire was set to clear
some land for some railroad construction in that area. They'd
been dry all summer, they've been going through a drought. Well,
a front came through and whipped that little fire up
(13:21):
into a huge fire storm. Yeah, it actually Pastigo and
twelve towns all around. It burned to the ground. The
fire burned on eight hundred and seventy five square miles.
Now that's bigger than the state of Rhode Island. Wow,
I know that was pretty bad. Now, they know for
sure that fifteen hundred to two hundred and five hundred
people actually died, but they don't know exactly how many
people though, because the sad thing is that all the
(13:44):
records that said who was living in that area they
all burned up in the fire, so they don't know
exactly who was all there. And you think of, well,
everybody's got to know about that story, Well, you probably
haven't heard about pastigos because also that same day the
Great Chicago Fire of eighteen seventy one started. Now that
burned three and a half where miles of Chicago to
the ground, three hundred people died and three hundred thousand
people were left homeless. Seventeen four and fifty buildings were burnt,
(14:07):
so of course a lot more people, a lot more impacted.
So that's why Pestigo kind of got pushed off to
the side. Now, in that Chicago fire, was the first
story that came out and it kind of stuck for
a long time, was that a lantern was kicked over
in Miss O'Leary's barn. It was just made up by
a reporter who wanted to get the scoop on everybody.
It was fake nails. Nobody still knows exactly how or
why that actually happened. Nineteen oh six in London, England,
(14:29):
Carl Nessler he invented the first device that could put
waves and curls in women's hair. Now they demonstrated. He
went and got some women together and he put a
dozen brass curlers in each of their hair. Eat. Those
curlers weighed two pounds, and the women had to sit
there for six hours. But it did work. Something we
don't have to worry about.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Six hours. That's a long time.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
With a curl with twenty four pounds of curlers in
your hair.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Yeah, wow, dedication exactly, you know. Also today this is
in in France. World War One was going on. Nineteen eighteen.
US soldier Alvin York became a legend. York and his
fellow soldiers were behind enemy lines when a German machine
gun opened fire on them. Six of the soldiers were
immediately killed. The rests grabbed the wounded in a dove
(15:15):
for cover. As they were treating the wounded, York single
handedly charged the machine gun, killing twenty five German soldiers.
Now the Germans thought that he was out of ammo,
so six of them started charging at him with their bayonets.
York pulled out his service pistol and shot all six
of them. The German officer in charge ran out of
AMMO and he surrendered to York. So York then marched
(15:37):
one hundred and thirty two German prisoners back to American Lions.
Then Private York was immediately promoted to Sergeant York he
was awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions. And
the interesting thing is York originally tried to dodge the
draft because he claimed he was a conscientious objector and
didn't want to kill people. The Army obviously didn't buy it,
(15:57):
and his actions would prove that he was able to
do that.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Yeah. Total badass.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Yeah, Yeah, I mean that's that's a pretty legit. That's
definitely a story that'll get you a drink at the bar.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
That's a lot of drinks at the bar.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Yeah. Also, in nineteen forty five, this one's near and
dear to my heart. I would not have survived my
twenties had it not been for this invention. PIERC. Spencer
was working for Raytheon when he discovered the microwave oven. Yeah,
it was actually a wartime technology used in radars, and
as he was doing experiments, he noticed that the candy
(16:30):
bar in his pocket had melted from the waves. So
he ended up on this day in nineteen forty five
getting the microwave of and patented. It was six feet tall,
weighed seven hundred and fifty pounds, and cost five thousand dollars,
a bit more than the one that I first had.
That kept me alive with my ramen.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
LEO, say, that's a lot. That's a really expensive ramen cooker.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
In nineteen sixty two, North Korea they announced they had
a one hundred percent voter turnout and for their election.
You know, I know, it's even more miraculous. All one
hundred percent voted for the same guy.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Amazing.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Okay, so are you into boating in water sports?
Speaker 2 (17:09):
You know, I haven't done much voting myself. Used to
surf back in the day, but that's that was when
I was a much younger mammal.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Sure. Well, in Australia nineteen seventy eight, Ken warby now
he got his jet boat up to three hundred and
seventeen point five eight miles an hour. Now he was
on a river over there in Australia, they had been damned.
Now that record for fastest anybody's gone on water, it
still stands today, almost fifty years later. Thirteen people have
tried to break it, and seven died trying to break
that record. So and now, to be honestly, no one's
(17:36):
even gotten close. Now we've talked a little bit about altitude.
That's more for that's Layman who wanted to be commercial
fibers high stakes. Now that is pretty cool what you
guys are doing up there.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Yeah, my business partner, Daphne had actually come up with
the idea and you know, between her myself and one
of my partners at Altitude University, you know, we had
kind of talked about how we can take the knowledge
that we are already have and what's already going on
in the space and apply it to you know, some
of the expansion of drone technology into law enforcement and
(18:08):
private security and so basically High State University was born
out of that. And what we do is we make
you know, there's a lot of agencies out there that
they want to get drone technology. In many cases they
have grants to you know, get this technology, but they
don't have any in house expertise. And because of the
way that you know, officers or security personnel have such
(18:30):
a high turnover from moving from one position to another,
it doesn't make sense to get one person fully trained
on all things drones and then you know, they move
off and you've lost your subject matter expertise. So what
we provide is, you know, we go in there and
we build out their program so that it's sustainable and
meets the needs of whatever it is that they want
to do with that technology. So that's everything from like
(18:52):
writing manuals to training how to fly, to getting people certified.
You know, it kind of took what we had learned
in the other companies and put it into a nice
way that we can bundle services that are be spoke
for each individual agency or you know, security operation.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Now, do you guys kind of recommend what drones they
should have or do you just work with what drones
they actually buy?
Speaker 2 (19:14):
You know, it's a combination of both. In a lot
of cases, if they're just starting, we are making those
recommendations and can source those drones for them. But what
we find with a lot particularly the law enforcement agencies,
are you know, especially when things were picking up with
when the wars were going on in Iraq and Afghanistan,
there were a lot of grants and funds that were available,
(19:38):
and even today with homeland security and stuff where they'll
get a drone because they had the money to get
a drone, but they didn't do any of the extra
stuff to you know, learn how to fly it or
know how they could use it. And that thinks. So
a lot of times we'll come into an organization that
already has their drone equipment and then we build the
program around you know, what they have, unless it's you know,
(19:59):
so outdated that they need to move to something else.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
So drones kind of like the microwave oven that they've
gotten smaller over the years too as technology has gotten better.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Yeah, it's kind of a combination of things. You know,
the size, they stay pretty much the same size for
the different applications. You know, they're more portable, made of stronger,
lighter materials and things like that. But where you really
see the innovation is in the payload system. So you know,
whether it's got a camera, or it's got some kind
of lidar or some other you know thing like a
(20:29):
gas detector or whatnot. Those are where you really see
like the big innovation and then in things like battery technology,
so that you know, instead of getting ten minutes of
flight time on a battery, you now have thirty or
forty or fifty or more. And so you know, it's size.
You know, you can find things that are smaller or
bigger depending on your needs, but it's really the payload
(20:50):
that you see the most innovation. And then now you're
really starting to see a lot of inputs with AI
and machine learning and automation so that you know, the
drone can effectively operate without a pilot.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Sure, and I'm sure that battery life is extended, but
how far can yet just the regular drone actually travel
away from like the home base on its own, you.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Know, it really depends on the drone. But the interesting thing,
particularly in this country, you know, is the technology is
actually able to perform far beyond what the regulations allow.
You know. So you know, you have in the US,
you're limited to four hundred feet above ground level to
fly your drone, whereas the drone itself could go thousands
(21:33):
of feet you know, in the air. And same thing
with distance. You know, a lot of times you can
you know, easily find drones for the commercial use that
can go you know, probably fifteen kilometers out and still
operate fine. But the FAA says you can only operate
a drone up to where you can visually see it
without any you know, you can't use like binoculars or
(21:56):
anything like that. So the unaided I needs to be
able to see it, so that limits it to about
a mile roughly, you know, before it's really really hard
to see that, so they can go really far out there.
But until regulations update, you know, it's it's only about
a mile that you're going to be able to legally fly.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
See, folks, that's why you want to definitely go do
the online course because yeah, what.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Do you there are waivers you can get, you know,
to to fly further, but you know, you need to
do a lot of paperwork and show how you're going
to make it safe so that you know it's it's
going to be able to operate without causing any issues
at that distance. Interestingly, the fa has just put out,
you know, a couple of months ago, a proposed set
of rules to allow that to be easier, and it's
(22:40):
in the process of getting like the public comment on
you know, what people like and don't like about it.
But probably in the near future it'll be a little
easier at least for like organizations and companies, not so
much the individual person, but organizations and companies to fly
beyond visual line of sight.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
So one of your students comes up there and says,
you know, I really like drones. I want to do it.
What kind of advice would you give them on what
we're after they get their certification and everything where they
can actually apply for jobs.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
At Yeah, well, there's there's really two paths that you
can take. You can take the path of you want
to be employed as a drone pilot by somebody. So
in that case, you know, you want to look for
jobs that are like with the electric company or with
survey companies and things like that that you can find
on you know, job sites like you know LinkedIn or
Indeed or whatnot. And then if you want to operate
(23:28):
on your own, whether that's as you know, kind of
a side hustle or you want to you know, set
up your own LLC or whatnot, in that case, it's
really about starting in an area that you have a
good match of you know, availability in your market and
the equipment for it. So for most people who are
just starting because they're not going to be able to
invest in more high end drones. They'll look at starting
(23:51):
in something like real estate photography. You know, fairly easy
to get into. You know, you can pretty quickly talk
to realtors in your area and see, you know, what
they're charging or they're willing to pay for your services
and get in there. But yeah, it's if you're looking
for a nine to five where you get a four
oh one k and then medical insurance and all that,
you want to look at the job boards and if
you're looking at starting your own empire, you want to,
(24:13):
you know, really start analyzing the market and see where
your skills and equipment match up.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
The easiest, I'm sure for young people anyway, military probably
the best way to start to hop when you think.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
You know, for young people, you actually can get your
license once you're sixteen, so you know, before you can
even join the military, you could technically be a commercial
drone pilot, which you know, you'd be making much more
money than I was making mowing lawns at sixteen, so
you know you can start without that. The military is
(24:46):
adopting a lot of small drones, so that you know
there are you could go into you know, pretty much
any of the services and get exposure to that. But
I would say your your best bet is if you're
sixteen and you get your license, just start partner up
with some of the drone service providers in your area,
you know, working for them as as a you know,
ten ninety nine or or you know, even as an employee,
(25:08):
and start building your experience there.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Yeah, that's a really good call right there. Basically pay
for your college, that's for sure.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Yeah, And it's it's good pay. You know, you can
even starting out, Uh, you know, you can get fifty
dollars an hour or so, and very quickly, when you
build your clientele and and you know your expertise, it's
very common to get one hundred and fifty to two
hundred dollars an hour as a commercial drone pilot.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
That's cool, all right. Let's see. It was born on
October the eighth, jo joke.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Joke, dope shot, dish ships Day.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Please don't like this, Shimuday.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
We don't simple toage. He was like dish ships Day,
and you know we don't give up.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Eddie Rickenbacker. He was born in Columbus, Ohio, in eighteen ninety.
Now he has a fighter pilot during World War One.
Now it's twenty six aero combat victories during they're basically
dog that's still the most of any US pilot. Now
he was the most awarded US serviceman for valor in
World War One. Now, before the war, Eddie was a
race car driver. So then after the war he had
a little cash in his pocket, he bought the Indianapolis
(26:11):
Motor Speedway. He kept it for about twenty years, but
made the race he age and then he sold it.
Now Eddie he remained in consultant for the United States
Army Air Force. Basically they were pretty nice as they
were combined at that time. He did the rest of
his life. Yeah, he was a big Thames consultant. He
had married nineteen twenty two and they had two sons.
Eddie he died from pneumonia in nineteen ninety three at
eighty two years old. So how much more technology do
(26:34):
you think you are in drones than Eddie's and airplanes back
in that time.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
You know, it's probably pretty comparable. I'd imagine that with
the technology that's in there now. You know, there's a
lot of things that he probably wished he was able
to have back then, but it sounds like he did
pretty good with what he had.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Yeah, and you know, the manly part of him because
obviously the Red Baron had gotten shot down before the
United States entered World War One. But you know those
pilots back then, I could have got him. You know,
I would have gotten.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
It, you know, Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Matizma thing actor paug and he's eighty six. He was
born in Paramatta, Australia in nineteen thirty nine. Now Paramatta
it's a suburb of Sydney, so yeah, he never lived
in the outback on the bush or anything. He was
kind of a rich little boy, but he sure acted
like it and made a lot of money off it.
Got famous starring as his crocodile Dundee in those movies.
He is also in Almost An Angel and Flipper he
(27:24):
is now. Between nineteen fifty eight and nineteen eighty nine,
he married and divorced his wife twice. Now they had
five children between those two marriages. Then he married actors
Linda Koslowski. They were married for twenty four years and
they had one son. So do you remember Saturday Night
Live the beginning? Too young for the beginning.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
I was a little young for that. I was born
in seventy nine actually, so I just missed it. Also
moving away from Australia. Actor Chevy Chase is eighty two today.
He was born in Manhattan, New York. In nineteen forty three.
He was on Saturday Night Live, but only for a
year and a half. Then he went into movies. He
did spies like Us Three Amigos, the Flush Movies, the
(28:03):
Vegas Vacation Movie, or the Vacation movies, my favorite being
in the Vegas Vacation one. On Saturday Night Live. Chevy
and Bill Murray actually got into a fistfight one time
in Jim Belushi's dressing room. Yeah, Bill said something about
Chevy's ex wife. Chevy said something about Bill being ugly
and fistsworth rome. They did make up and starting Caddyshack together.
(28:24):
Chevy married his third wife in nineteen eighty two and
they have three daughters, also born today. Writer R. L.
Stein is eighty two. He was born in Columbus, Ohio.
He's considered to be this Stephen King of children's books.
Wrote over two hundred and thirty of the Goosebumps books
and the Fear Street books. All total, he has written
over four hundred and thirty books and sold over four
(28:46):
hundred million copies. He married in nineteen sixty nine and
they have one son. Pretty sure for bedtime stories, he
probably preferred mom telling the stories than dad.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Thanks you a big reader, I am.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
I love reading, YEA, not too much of fiction, but
I really love reading about history and some mathematics, topics.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
And some of those historical fiction. Her kind of really
twist your mind too. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
I actually read one once that was a kind of
a sci fi twist to that with World War two
time period and aliens attacking the Earth and all the
world leaders that were fighting each other in World War Two.
I had to get together to beat them. It was
a pretty interesting novel.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
That was actually a pretty good transition into Aliens. Actress
Sigourney Weaver. She was born in New York City in
nineteen forty nine seventy six today now. She first hit
in the movie Alien. Then she was nominated for Oscars
for Aliens, then Gorillas in the Mist and Working Girl.
I think her best movie honestly was Galaxy Quest. You
see that one?
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Oh? I love Galaxy Quest? Yeah, yeah, I see him
many times.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Love it be her biggest money making movie. That was Avatar.
She has done a lot of theater. I didn't know
that Sigourney. She got married nineteen eighty four and they
have a daughter.
Speaker 5 (29:58):
Are you going to.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Don't want to dance by standing?
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Tell man, how are you gonna do it?
Speaker 5 (30:08):
If you really don't want to dance by standing?
Speaker 4 (30:11):
The wall?
Speaker 1 (30:15):
People saying come on the.
Speaker 5 (30:21):
Now.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
That was not him singing it. In fact, he has
never sing lead. But the group is named for him.
Robert cool Bell. He's seventy five. He's born in Youngstown, Ohio,
in nineteen fifty. He is the last founding member of
Cooling the Game. They're still alive, so him and the
new Cooling Gang. They're on on tour right now. If
you want to go see him out now. They are
schedul They have date schedule all the way through twenty
twenty six.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
Now.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Cooling the Game they formed in nineteen sixty four when
Robert and six of his high school friends they got together. Now,
they couldn't come up with the name. They were playing
gigs around New Jersey, didn't have any kind of name,
so finally they just went with his nickname. They said,
all right, cool In the game and Robert he got
the name cool. I gave it to himself when he
was a little boy. Now some of their big hits
that you probably no, we're celebration, get down on it
(31:03):
too hot. Now they've sold over seventy million records. Cool
he married nineteen seventy one, still together. He married his
high school sweetheart. Yep, they ended. She died in twenty eighteen.
Up some sorre, I opted to delete that. Up she
would have read, father O good all right. Some of
their hits are celebration, get down on it too hot.
They've sold over seventy million records now. Cool he married
(31:24):
nineteen seventy one, was high school sweetheart. There together until
she died in twenty eighteen. They had two sons, Urabo
and you Can.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
That was CC Winans. She is sixty one today, born
in Detroit in nineteen sixty four. She's the eighth of
the ten Winans kids. The whole family is talented and
successful in music. CC started singing in public when she
was only eight years old. Now she is the best
selling and most awarded gospel singer of all time. She
has also had a lot of success singing duets with
(32:12):
her brother beb. She has won seventeen Grammy Awards, which
ranks her fourth in the list of artists who have
won the most awards for singing. Just for reference, Beyonce's
number one at thirty three, So fourth at seventeen. That's
a pretty impressive cec Is on tour. She has shows
scheduled until next September. She and her husband have one
son and one daughter. Moving into the world of acting again.
(32:34):
Actor Matt Damon was born today in Cambridge, Massachusetts, nineteen
seventies fifty five today. His first movie was a Mystic Pizza.
He of course won a Oscar for writing Goodwill Hunting
with Ben Affleck. Matt has been nominated for Oscars for
acting in Goodwill Hunting, in Victus and The Martian. His
biggest money making movie is Oppenheimer. In two thousand and three,
(32:56):
Matt was actually filming a movie in Miami and went
to a bar to have a drink. Obviously, he was
recognized by fans and they were pursuing him for pictures
and autographs and they were getting kind of touchy. So
he actually went behind the bar and asked the bartender
if he could hang out there and have some space
while he finished his drink. She told him he couldn't
just stand there and did he know how to poor drinks?
(33:16):
So Matt said he had played a bartender in a
movie once and started pouring drinks. She put him to
work and he made her a lot of money and
tips that day. They ended up getting married. Two years later.
He adopted her daughter and they have three more daughters.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
Since that's a pretty cool, cute meat story, isn't it. Yeah,
for sure, especially in Holly. I'm just still together and
happy all these years later.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Is this guy? Yeah, definitely a rare occurrence.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
Well, compare Matt to this guy TV personality Nick Cannon.
He was born in San Diego in nineteen eighties forty five.
Today now he says he's a comedian and rapper, but
I'm just gonna say he's a TV host. He houstin
America's Got Talent, Lipsig Battle's been hosted Mass Singer since
twenty nineteen on VH one, and he's been hosting Wild
and Wild and Out since two thousand and five. Have
(34:04):
you ever watched that?
Speaker 2 (34:05):
I have not.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
I've never heard of it either, now, Nick Nick. He
was married to Mariah Carey for eight years. He should
have probably got combat paid for that, don't you think.
But here's where it gets interesting. Okay, they had twins.
They had a boy and a girl who were twins
right now. They divorced in twenty sixteen. Since then, Nick
has had ten more kids with five other women. Wow,
(34:28):
all right, so he's got to really keep working. We
get that child support up.
Speaker 4 (34:32):
He gave me a wissted in the trash hits Saustanding
the trashy, So give me your love song love a
cause wat shit so on on the standa side should
Crenect look.
Speaker 5 (34:53):
On the pay.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
So that, of course was Bruno Mars. He is forty today,
having been born in Honolulu in nineteen eighty five. His
band The Hooligans have been with him since the beginning
in twenty ten. They are really popular for their live shows.
Some of the number one songs they have is just
the Way You Are, what we just heard, Grenade, Locked
out of Heaven, and When I Was Your Man. His
biggest hit was with Mark ronson Uptown Funk. Brunos sold
(35:19):
over one hundred and fifty million records and he's been
dating his girlfriend since twenty eleven.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
I think you put a ring on that by now,
wouldn't you Yeah, you would think so, right, Okay, so
we've kind of let you all know basically how you
can go on for altitude and for high Staggs.
Speaker 6 (35:38):
What do you want?
Speaker 1 (35:38):
What do you want everybody to know about drones and
what they need to be doing.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
Yeah, I think it's just important to remember that drones
are a great technology that has a lot of useful
on this So when you see one up in the sky,
it is probably doing something that is very helpful to society.
And if you want to get into that yourself, check
out out to university or contact me on you know,
link in, or you know with Vigilanti Drones and consulting
(36:04):
and High Stakes University. Look any of those up and
you'll find me and my partners and we'll be able
to help you make the most out of your drone endeavors.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
And on the show notes today, we'll have all links
to make an nice and easy for you. So yeah,
I definitely check out all that kind of stuff. So
do you think it's going to come to the point
where all are like pizzas and Amazon and stuff are
going to be delivered by drones.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
I think it'll come to the point where a lot
of it is, but there's always going to be, you know,
a need for multiple things. You know. It's like I said,
drones are you know, it's like a hammer or screwdriver.
There's there's good applications for it, and then there's applications
that you know aren't the best for it. So I
think that as the technology improves and regulations you know, evolve,
(36:44):
we'll see them you know, much more prevalent in our
daily lives. But you know, there will still be the
need to deliver things the way that they're being delivered now.
And and you know, a lot of the things that
drones do there will still be like the manual way
of doing it as well. It's just you know, when
the opportunity is there to have a tool that'll be
(37:05):
more efficient and you know, easier to use and whatnot,
drones will fill that void. Otherwise something else will, you.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
Know, when it comes to drones. I've been to a
couple of drone shows. Now visually they are just incredible.
You just watch them and all that kind of stuff,
and but I still like the boom of fireworks.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
Yeah, I actually prefer the drone shows, you know, big surprise,
but it's mainly for the environmental side. You know, fireworks
are you know, very destructive for the environment in comparison
to drone shows. And also, you know, I have dogs
and they hate the fireworks, so drone shows are the
way to go in my book.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
Well, man, they do some incredible things with them, that's
for sure.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
Yeah, yeah, all right.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
Is there anything else you want to talk about today?
Speaker 2 (37:52):
No? I think that's it. You know, just always glad
to learn about historical facts. And I really appreciate you
and your listeners giving me an opportunity to tell you
about what I do in the drone industry and how
it can really help society.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
Yeah. I definitely make sure you get with David and
his guys out there. Man, that's a really awesome service
for you guys to look up. Now you want to
we end with a quote of the day. You got
a pretty good quote today. Do you want to read it?
Speaker 2 (38:13):
Yeah? Today's quote comes from Ernest Hemingway. There is nothing
noble in being superior to your fellow man. True nobility
is being superior to your former self.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
That is definitely true. Well, thank you very much for
being here today, man, it's been fun. Really talking to
you and learning a lot you.

Buck four and his son Cowgirl. You guys have an
(38:50):
