vale y.

Had the largest, and I changed it to the busiest
airport in Florida.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
Busiest. I'm gonna say Orlando.

Speaker 4 (07:14):
I'd probably say Orlando too.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
Both of you are wrong, I wrote Land. I forgot
the word. Oh, you're right, absolutely largest port, and here
I was. I thought I was right, and I was,
but I thought it was wrong. All right, Okay, what's
the largest port.

Speaker 4 (07:28):
I'm gonna gets port of Miami.

Speaker 1 (07:29):

it Tampa because they do a lot of international Yeah,
it's for you. I was way off in that one
largest military base Tampa.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
It's the one over in Tampa, Okay.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
Close west of it, Egland Air Force in the Panhandle.

Speaker 1 (07:55):
Now you know what I was thinking of it because
the one in Tampa, I can't think of what the
name of it is off the top of my head
right now, they're the ones that have all the I
don't want to say espionage, but those type of things
going on there. Yes, it's very secret, and you know,
don't call Pati line that.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
Here's what I totally I thought.

Speaker 3 (08:15):
I knew almost one, maybe way off.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
The largest five university or colleges in the state of Florida,
the largest, the largest university or college by enrollment.

Speaker 4 (08:28):
And because of you said you had no idea, this
was on the map and I know this has a
lot of people enrolled and it's UCF Central Florida.

Speaker 3 (08:40):
Yes, I knew it was.

Speaker 5 (08:41):
It was.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
It was the biggest for love since the nineteen nineties. Yeah, transported.

Speaker 4 (08:46):
I didn't know it overpassed UF.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
But yeah, I was thinking UF all the way. BA. Yeah,
if u c F.

Speaker 3 (08:52):
Is one, who's number two?

Speaker 2 (08:55):
UF?

Speaker 3 (08:55):
Nope, no fsu F.

Speaker 4 (08:58):
They're bigger than WA.

Speaker 3 (09:01):
Who do you think is third?

Speaker 1 (09:03):
F AU?

Speaker 2 (09:04):
No USF Now it's f AU. No, I'm telling you now,
that's for Pete here. The book is nineteen ninety five. Yeah, okay, However,
I did my homework that I went to Google.

Speaker 3 (09:19):
So the third is us F.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
Now that at least two that would both know who
they are, which is fourth and which is fifth?

Speaker 4 (09:28):
And I would think UF is above FAU.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
Oh, I was just saying FAU because I went there.
May probably one of those novels.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
Okay, UF is number four, Okay, leaving what number five
in tallahassee.

U f s U. I thought they were two. I
thought you said they were two.

Speaker 3 (09:47):
Yeah, they're two and five. I blew it.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
Okay, here you go round, Thanks for you.

Speaker 3 (09:54):
I think you're right about the FAU.

Speaker 2 (09:56):

up with the route sixty six from the Midwest to
the West. If you ever want to take a trip,
and you've got the time and probably money, yeah, go
on in a car and take US one from Key West.

Speaker 3 (15:12):
Literally where you got them.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
What do you call that thing for the rope at
the end of a pier whatever you call those the
pylon cement pilot. Yeah, if you stand there, you're ninety
miles from Cuba. That's the southernmost tip of the United
States in Florida. You go from there and you go
to Fort what was this the Fort Fort Fort for
Fort Kent, Maine.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
Halton, Maine. US one stops in Halton, Maine.

Speaker 3 (15:36):
Well it says here Fort Wait, hold on, I just
spanked the book.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
Yeah, it says Fort Camp.

Speaker 3 (15:44):
This is You don't know this. You should.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
This is important and when you're driving periodically, pay attention
to it.

Speaker 3 (15:51):
What are the number of green signs on US one and.

Speaker 1 (15:54):
The keys used for the green signs?

Speaker 2 (15:57):
But they're all over there in ninety five That's what
I was thinking, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (16:01):
What are they? Mile marker is right.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
Yeah, when you're traveling every so often, pay attention god
for do you see a disaster or an accident or
a problem. And you're going to call nine one one
or four seven for seven or whatever that you're supposed
to call. The first thing they're going to ask you
one of the first questions, where are you? And you're
going to say, I don't know, I'm going north on

(16:23):
ninety five. Yeah, but if you tell them I just
passed marker mile marker at four eighteen, they know where
to get you and help.

Speaker 1 (16:30):
But you know what they did that not to I
know this for a fact. I don't know the year
I wish I did. They did it by the miles
that are actually on the road where it used to
be just a generic number.

Speaker 3 (16:41):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (16:41):
Yeah, And I remember.

Speaker 1 (16:43):
One time coming back from New Hampshire. I had been
driving for whatever, and I didn't even know what planning
I was on, and I'm going looking at it and
I didn't realize they did that, and I'm looking at
the thing and I'm going, there's no way. It's six
hundred and something almost. It's is no way I gotta
be in Florida. But that's when they changed it, well
to whatever the actual mile is.

Speaker 3 (17:03):
Today's paper had something in it. Uh.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
The state changed all their signs say welcome to Florida,
and one of them, nobody caught, was misspelled. Instead of
f L O R I d A, it was f
L I.

Speaker 1 (17:21):
O R DA Marina.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
Nobody caught it. They install it and somebody caught it. Okay,
this is very interesting because I think we may know
it what to sit. Florida City's formed. The two ends
of inst State four, or start and end.

Speaker 4 (17:42):
Were starting end it's Tampa to Daytona.

Speaker 3 (17:46):
Very good.

Speaker 2 (17:48):
By the way, don't ever say Daytona you go to Daytona,
you better say Daytona beach.

Speaker 4 (17:53):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (17:54):
And the reason they chat, I don't remember what year was.
They changed it because they wanted to track tourists. And
the gimmick was you you could drive your car on
the beach in Daytona.

Speaker 3 (18:07):
Yes, god anymore, but that.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
Was the gimmick. Okay, into State ten goes east west,
which which crosses the continent from Santa Monica, California, ends

raise your hand if you're not driving. How much of
Deval County is taken up by the city of Jacksonville?

Speaker 1 (20:12):
Were cheating and they didn't take it away from him
when they were going to boot him out. That's what
I'm wondering.

Speaker 3 (20:16):
I'm not touching that. He was writing a lot of stuff.
The problem is.

Speaker 2 (20:21):
He was surrounded by mirrors. Yeah, because he loved looking
at him.

Speaker 1 (20:24):
So that was patent.

Speaker 4 (20:25):

of interest, business and tourism. What name nickname has been
given to the Norse Oenners who flocked to Florida every winter? Oh?
Nir Yeah, in the eighteen hundreds, Florida's snowbird capital wasn't Miami. Rather,

give you the clue because of Flagler.

Speaker 3 (20:54):
What city was it?

Speaker 4 (20:56):
Okay, if you're saying Flagler, Saint Augustine, Yeah, no, Jacksonville.

Speaker 3 (21:06):
It was Jacksonville that was hot.

Speaker 2 (21:08):
That's how the whole thing started, with him going past
Jacksonville to Saint Augustine with his railroad for his wife, wife,
for sick and it's like anything else. You go there,
what you're going to do for your Flagler. So if
you haven't read the book about Flagler, you got to
read them.

Speaker 3 (21:25):
It's like two people. When he was with.

Speaker 2 (21:27):
Standard Oil, he was a ratified, glorified sob. When he
moved to Florida, he was so filthy rich he didn't
have to be an sob. And now you did what
he wanted to do, and he did it. He built
the railroad to Key West. What foreign language are you
