Speaker 1: Welcome to Stuff you missed in History Class A production
Speaker 1: of iHeartRadio, Hello and Happy Friday. I'm Tracy V. Wilson
Speaker 1: and I'm Holly Frye. We talked about some historical heat
Speaker 1: waves or historic heat waves, both words work. I think
Speaker 1: in this case, yes, literal years I've been like heat waves,
Speaker 1: something heat wave talk about on the show. Another thing
Speaker 1: I have wanted to talk about the show, which is
Speaker 1: tangentially related, is the development of lifeguards life guarding life
Speaker 1: saving services because of all the drownings that happen, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: in the summer, and that came up briefly in the episode,
Speaker 1: and we talked about how many people have drowned in
Speaker 1: the heat waves that have taken place in Europe. That
Speaker 1: happens other places too. Obviously. One of the things that
Speaker 1: has made me think that I want to do an
Speaker 1: episode at some point about life guarding those kinds of
Speaker 1: life saving rescue operations is a few years ago we
Speaker 1: had a particularly bad season of drownings in Massachusetts where
Speaker 1: just a very tragic number of people who again we're
Speaker 1: all just trying to get cool and play in the water, drowned.
Speaker 1: And I have not found great resources to be able
Speaker 1: to pull that together. Maybe it will happen someday, maybe
Speaker 1: not for our upbeat drowning episode. Well it would be
Speaker 1: upbeat because we would be talking about how we save
Speaker 1: people from rom drowning. This episode of heat waves the
Speaker 1: big bummer episode because the world's just getting hotter. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and while France is legally bound to achieve carbon neutrality,
Speaker 1: we are living under an administration that's canceling green energy
Speaker 1: projects and yeah, I hate it. Yeah, it's not a
Speaker 1: good feeling. I will say. Just to talk about the weather, Okay,
Speaker 1: as you know, as people know, I love hot weather.
Speaker 1: I like heat, and I know this one is freaky humidity. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is the first year that I can think of.
Speaker 1: And some of this might just be that I'm getting older,
Speaker 1: but where I've been like uh oh yeah too hot.
Speaker 1: I have actually had two like kind of dehydration oh
Speaker 1: heat strokey events this year when I was in Florida
Speaker 1: both times, and like both times it was a matter
Speaker 1: of like, get some electrolytes in me, plenty of water
Speaker 1: and I bounce right back. But and I talked about
Speaker 1: it with my doctor and she's like, ye, anythink that's
Speaker 1: just heat strokey dehydration that has never happened to me before.
Speaker 1: I mean it did when I was a kid, when
Speaker 1: I was a little more delicate, but not in a
Speaker 1: long time. And that's like for me, my own personal
Speaker 1: like experiential data. I'm like going, yeah, hotter than it's
Speaker 1: ever been. I can tell even when I mowed the lawn,
Speaker 1: which I have to do now in like twenty five
Speaker 1: to thirty minute increments, because it's so freaker. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: Like our yard is bigish, it takes a couple hours
Speaker 1: to mow the whole thing, and so like, over the
Speaker 1: course of four days, I slowly get the lawn mode
Speaker 1: because it's just even I am like, wow, it's stupid
Speaker 1: if I stay out here any longer. Yeah. Yeah, our
Speaker 1: yard is not big. Our yard is very small. It
Speaker 1: can be done in very much less than one battery
Speaker 1: of our battery operated rechargeable mower. Oh no, we have
Speaker 1: three batteries, and I will buzz through all of them
Speaker 1: and keep going. Yeah, come back the next day. I
Speaker 1: one of I thought of a lot of things while
Speaker 1: working on this one. We said at the top, how
Speaker 1: it seems like heat is taken less seriously than some
Speaker 1: of the other Yeah forms of weather. And one of
Speaker 1: the things I talked about are thought about was back
Speaker 1: when I was a teenager, I was in a Drummond
Speaker 1: Bugle corps and we rehearsed outside in the hot and
Speaker 1: the sun for hours, and I remember a couple of
Speaker 1: situations where we would be like pushing toward a competition,
Speaker 1: they would call for a water break. An instructor would say,
Speaker 1: color guard, come over here, I want to go over
Speaker 1: those last you know, sixteen measures again, and then we
Speaker 1: wouldn't get any water. Oh no, and right. And there
Speaker 1: was at least one time that somebody who was in
Speaker 1: the color guard with me wound up having to get
Speaker 1: like medical attention like her. I don't know what specifically.
Speaker 1: There are multiple heat related things that can happen, and
Speaker 1: I don't know which specifically it was, but she just
Speaker 1: sort of shut down and got on the ground and
Speaker 1: wrapped her flag around her and went to the hospital.
Speaker 1: And I am hopeful that drum cores are better about
Speaker 1: that now. Surely it's one of the sources of mixed
Speaker 1: feelings that I have about my time in drum corps.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean again, this often comes up, and
Speaker 1: I don't mean to like be you know, kind of
Speaker 1: like just throwing out the path thing. But like, yah,
Speaker 1: our childhoods were dangerous, Yeah, they were, Like there just
Speaker 1: wasn't as much and I don't mean to be like
Speaker 1: marken Ard, but there was not as much information about
Speaker 1: things like this, and I think one also, there was
Speaker 1: less danger. I mean, I feel like we hit that
Speaker 1: moment in the early two thousands where things started happening
Speaker 1: where like very fit athletes were having issues like high school,
Speaker 1: like I remember vaguely, and I feel bad because I'm
Speaker 1: not going to remember the details of like a foot
Speaker 1: like a high school football player that died because he
Speaker 1: got dehydrated during practice or something. Yeah, and forgive me
Speaker 1: if I'm not conjuring the right thing. But there was
Speaker 1: an event like that, and I think that was a
Speaker 1: moment where a lot of people were like, oh, kind
Speaker 1: of a wake up call. We should really start thinking
Speaker 1: more seriously about how, you know, these activities are managed
Speaker 1: in terms of like just pure outdoor in the sun
Speaker 1: heat safety, which is great and should always be the case. Yeah. Also,
Speaker 1: some of us, me are really bad about drinking enough water.
Speaker 1: And I'm getting better about it because I got scared
Speaker 1: straight after those two little dehydration events. But it is
Speaker 1: hard sometimes. I don't love water. I've said it many times,
Speaker 1: but I like passing out even less so. But I
Speaker 1: do think, you know, we all need to. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is my PSA to everybody. Please make sure you
Speaker 1: are getting enough fluids, enough electrolytes enough, you know, not
Speaker 1: in the sun time. I worry all the time now
Speaker 1: when I see this summer, as I said, it's been
Speaker 1: particularly rough. When I see like the people that like
Speaker 1: it's their job to work on lawns and stuff. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel like I've become like a one woman watchdog
Speaker 1: group where I just carry water in my car in
Speaker 1: case I see anybody that looks like they haven't a problem. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: even if they don't need it, if they just want
Speaker 1: to pocket it, great. Yeah. I just want everybody to
Speaker 1: be okay, there's no reason to pass out because you're
Speaker 1: mowing a lawn. Yeah. Also, I can't speak for other countries.
Speaker 1: I can only speak for the United States. Advocate for
Speaker 1: laws to protect the people who work outside. Yes, like
Speaker 1: agricultural workers who literally feed us. They are providing the
Speaker 1: food for us to eat, and a lot of places
Speaker 1: have virtually no protections related to the dangers of being
Speaker 1: out in the heat all day. Yeah. I made reference
Speaker 1: in this episode to the discourse. There has been a
Speaker 1: lot of air conditioning discourse which I found very frustrating.
Speaker 1: I found some of it funny. But yeah, I will
Speaker 1: tell you what I found funny recently. It might be
Speaker 1: the same thing you're getting to do you want to
Speaker 1: go first, I don't know. Do we want it on Delight?
Speaker 1: Listen on funny one? So yes, I'll say my thing first,
Speaker 1: because I was more frustrated. I felt like a lot
Speaker 1: of people were kind of talking past each other, and
Speaker 1: a lot of people in the United States were making
Speaker 1: things sound easy that aren't. Yeah, So like I saw
Speaker 1: a lot of people saying, oh, they're complaining that they
Speaker 1: can't just like their windows aren't the right shape to
Speaker 1: put in a window air conditioner. You can put in
Speaker 1: duck list air conditioning systems and old buildings. We do
Speaker 1: it over here all the time. And it's like true, true,
Speaker 1: we do put in duckless air conditioning systems. I put
Speaker 1: a duckless air conditioning system into the house that we
Speaker 1: bought in twenty nineteen, and let me tell you that
Speaker 1: cost thirty thousand dollars yeah. Yeah, so like, yeah, we
Speaker 1: can do this, but a lot of people cannot afford
Speaker 1: thirty thousand dollars and and a lot of parts of
Speaker 1: Europe it is more than that because of shortages of
Speaker 1: the actual look equipment and stricter standards about things like
Speaker 1: the energy efficiency of the systems, the historic protections on
Speaker 1: the buildings, all of that kind of stuff. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I found the discourse frustrating rather than funny. But I
Speaker 1: want to hear what was funny to you, because that
Speaker 1: does sound like a good way to end the episode.
Speaker 1: I have two funny things, okay. One is just a
Speaker 1: funny conversation between a friend and I, and two is
Speaker 1: specifically about air conditioning. One is that I had been,
Speaker 1: as I've been talking about on the show, I'm trying
Speaker 1: to figure out when I can playin a trip to
Speaker 1: London to see the bayou Ch Tapestry. Oh yeah, and I
Speaker 1: was talking to one of my friends about it and
Speaker 1: he's like, you might not want to come now it's
Speaker 1: really hot, and like, again, I'm not playing one upsmanship.
Speaker 1: But it was just funny because he was not taking
Speaker 1: into account like what people are accustomed to, and he's
Speaker 1: like he's getting in like the eighties, and I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: my darling, to me, it is the real feel is
Speaker 1: one hundred and twelve at my house right now. And
Speaker 1: he's like, oh, you'll be fine. Yeah, I'm just more
Speaker 1: I'm used to it. The eighties will feel great to me,
Speaker 1: which is why I want to travel. Here's the funny
Speaker 1: thing the World Cup. Okay, watching a lot of international
Speaker 1: visitors come to the US, one of the things that
Speaker 1: has delighted me is seeing how one a lot of
Speaker 1: their preconceived notions about what the US is like got
Speaker 1: kind of broken down, you know, like seeing them really
Speaker 1: realize that the US actually does love football slash soccer,
Speaker 1: you know that it's not like I know, there was
Speaker 1: concern about being hosted in the US and discovering like, no,
Speaker 1: there's plenty of passion for it here. But also seeing
Speaker 1: them discover foods here, like the ranch dressing thing has
Speaker 1: been great. But I saw so many people on social
Speaker 1: media being like, how am I going to go home
Speaker 1: to a place with that air conditioning after living Yeah,
Speaker 1: after being in hotels that are like blasting sixty degree
Speaker 1: air and it feeling like such a respitouseide right, it
Speaker 1: doesn't solve the problems that you were discussing. But it
Speaker 1: has been just that's funny, Like I feel like people
Speaker 1: did not realize how much of a difference air conditioning
Speaker 1: can make. Right you are having a very very hot day,
Speaker 1: if you've been out in the stands or celebrating or
Speaker 1: doing whatever you're doing, to then go back to a
Speaker 1: room that's like arctic blast. Yeah, I did not even
Speaker 1: think about air conditioning when we were booking the trip
Speaker 1: to England that Patrick and I took earlier this spring,
Speaker 1: because I didn't even think about it. It is close
Speaker 1: to ubiquitous where we live. But also at this point,
Speaker 1: I've made some trips to Europe and I know that
Speaker 1: a lot of parts of it air conditioning is not ubiquitous.
Speaker 1: But also generally in earlier years the temperature was more
Speaker 1: likely to be milder, and so we were going to
Speaker 1: England at a time when like the average temperature is
Speaker 1: more like in the high seventies, and so if we
Speaker 1: hadn't had air conditioning, it wouldn't have been that big
Speaker 1: of a deal. And instead we got there during the
Speaker 1: hottest May in a century, where when I realized, you know,
Speaker 1: a couple of days out that that was what was
Speaker 1: going to happen. I was like, oh no, and looked
Speaker 1: and discovered that, Okay, the hotel that we are staying
Speaker 1: in during the worst of this says all the rooms
Speaker 1: our air conditioning air conditioned, and they were and the
Speaker 1: air conditioning was very good, so we did not have
Speaker 1: heat exhaustion in our hotel rooms. Hooray, hooray. It was
Speaker 1: kind of odd to go into a museum and have
Speaker 1: that museum be uncomfortably hot because museum me nervous. Yeah,
Speaker 1: me too. Well, British Museum, well, we could think about
Speaker 1: the British Museum for another reason, to have questions about
Speaker 1: the British Museum. It got hot in a lot of it.
Speaker 1: So yeah, it was very strange when Patrick was like, oh,
Speaker 1: we'll just go to museums today, and I was like, honey,
Speaker 1: some of these museums have no air conditioning, just so
Speaker 1: you're aware before we go over there. We still had
Speaker 1: a very lovely trip though, even though it was so
Speaker 1: incredibly hot. We talked about Samuel Plimsel this week. We did,
Speaker 1: we did. It was a good, delightful man. One of
Speaker 1: the things that charmed me to pieces while I was
Speaker 1: reading his book. Aha was the preface which I'm going
Speaker 1: to read a small excerpt from because it just encapsulates
Speaker 1: who he was. I think he right excited quote. I
Speaker 1: have no idea of writing a book. I don't know
Speaker 1: how to do it, and fear I could not succeed
Speaker 1: if I tried. The idea, therefore, is very formidable to me.
Speaker 1: I will suppose myself to be writing to an individual
Speaker 1: and to be saying all I could think of to
Speaker 1: induce him to lend his utmost aid in remedying the
Speaker 1: great evil which we all deplore, and I will write
Speaker 1: so far as I can, just as I would speak
Speaker 1: to him if he were now sitting by my side.
Speaker 1: But so sweet, I understand why people who were like,
Speaker 1: what are you doing here in the United States were
Speaker 1: then like, we love you, Samuel Plipsel. That's some good advice.
Speaker 1: It is. It reminds me a little bit of many
Speaker 1: many years ago. I was on the first Jonathan Colton
Speaker 1: cruise that was ever done, and a lot of the
Speaker 1: performers were people that I had been fans of for
Speaker 1: many years, who I was going to have the opportunity
Speaker 1: to actually have conversations with beyond just like having a
Speaker 1: signature done at a book signing or a fan table
Speaker 1: or something like that. And so I dealt with this
Speaker 1: by just pretending that I was also famous, and that
Speaker 1: really helped me to get over my jitters and just
Speaker 1: have regular conversations with people. And I think that's a
Speaker 1: little similar. I think I do the reverse of that.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I just am like, this is a human
Speaker 1: who needs to do human things. Uh, they have to
Speaker 1: eat and use the ladies or men's room or whatever
Speaker 1: room they wish. Huh. They have to do all the
Speaker 1: same stuff as me. It's very you know, they put
Speaker 1: their pants on when leg it ish. Yeah. I feel
Speaker 1: like that's two sides of the same coin, because it's
Speaker 1: two different ways of saying we're the same and I
Speaker 1: can talk to you. Does that make sense? Yes, mine
Speaker 1: is a little I don't know. I feel like mine
Speaker 1: might be a little more or less. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I just strip them of their fame and I'm like,
Speaker 1: you're you're just a dude who happens to know about
Speaker 1: a thing I need to talk to you about. This
Speaker 1: was also like fifteen years ago or something, and who
Speaker 1: knows what I would how I would approach things in
Speaker 1: a similar situation today. You know what also, really, I
Speaker 1: mean I already felt this way, but there was an
Speaker 1: instance that really cemented that, which was leading up to
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty election. I hosted a podcast that we
Speaker 1: did it I heart called Why I'm Voting Oh Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I got to interview a lot of very famous
Speaker 1: people about like what brings them to the polls. And
Speaker 1: this was of course going on during the pandemic. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so it was all online and I would literally see
Speaker 1: people just like join in from like sometimes their bathrooms,
Speaker 1: like they were like this is this the room with
Speaker 1: the best sound like sin I'm sitting or also in
Speaker 1: their closet like me, and it's just like, you know,
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, we all equalize. Sure,
Speaker 1: we all equalize. Yeah, it's a very fun show to do.
Speaker 1: There were a lot of great conversations and people that
Speaker 1: were very surprising in how frank and kind and lovely
Speaker 1: they were. I had a great a lot of great
Speaker 1: conversations on that show. Super super fun. But yeah, I
Speaker 1: think the idea of like if you're writing and you're
Speaker 1: scared to write, but you need to just write like
Speaker 1: you're writing, like you're talking to some Yeah, that will
Speaker 1: be your truest voice as a writer anyway in most
Speaker 1: cases perfect. I feel like that's that sort of similar
Speaker 1: advice in public speaking. Like I remember when I was
Speaker 1: in school, people were like, imagine the audience in their underwear,
Speaker 1: and I was like, that's not going to help me
Speaker 1: at all. But focusing on a person and thinking of
Speaker 1: it as I'm talking to this person, not I'm talking
Speaker 1: to a whole auditorium full of people, could really help. Yeah. Again,
Speaker 1: I do it a little. I think of it differently.
Speaker 1: There's a thing moons ago, I did a TEDx that
Speaker 1: was largely about like being truthful about your life so
Speaker 1: that future historians will have an easier time understanding what
Speaker 1: was going on, okay in our current day. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: you know, I talked a lot about like social media
Speaker 1: and whatnot and likened it actually to Louise the sixteenth
Speaker 1: and Marie Intoinette, which I will always try to bring
Speaker 1: up in every conversation. But one of the things that
Speaker 1: I started really thinking about, and it's something that's guided
Speaker 1: a lot of this show for both of us, is
Speaker 1: like you've heard me do my soapbox about history is
Speaker 1: not just things that happen in seats of government or
Speaker 1: on thrones. It's about every single, everyday person. And so
Speaker 1: for me kind of the way around, it is not
Speaker 1: so much picturing that I'm talking to one person in
Speaker 1: a public speaking situation. It's remembering that we are all
Speaker 1: sharing one unique moment that will never be replicated, and
Speaker 1: that kind of makes it just like, yeah, it's like
Speaker 1: we are making our own moment of history together right
Speaker 1: here today. You're a part of it as much as me,
Speaker 1: and we can all, you know, have our little jamboree moment. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I just love it's important. And I feel like
Speaker 1: when I I recently at a convention, was talking to
Speaker 1: a little girl because she was talking about how she
Speaker 1: didn't like history. We were talking about Star Wars things
Speaker 1: and it came to history and I was like, oh
Speaker 1: my darling, there is so much amazing history for you.
Speaker 1: You just need to find there. Literally, someone exactly like
Speaker 1: you has been in history from day one, and like you,
Speaker 1: if you find their stories, history comes alive. And her
Speaker 1: mom looked at me, like what, how really, And I
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, yeah, like this is I never thought
Speaker 1: about it that way, and I'm like you should, Lovely,
Speaker 1: That's that's what makes people connect to history because they
Speaker 1: remember that they're part of it. Anyway, Samuel plimsel I
Speaker 1: got genuinely choked up reading obituaries of him, like I
Speaker 1: had to stop because it was like everyone was so
Speaker 1: abulliant about what like a pure soul he was and
Speaker 1: how incredibly kind he was to everyone he met. And
Speaker 1: you know, while he would be very aggressive and frank
Speaker 1: about people doing bad things, he himself wouldn't even like,
Speaker 1: really be that unless you're a toll booth person, right,
Speaker 1: causes him trouble. One of the things that he said
Speaker 1: about that man that cracked me up. This is, to him,
Speaker 1: the worst insult he could come up with. She was
Speaker 1: not a gentleman. Yeah, I just found that hilarious. I
Speaker 1: love that whole story. What a little rabble rouser, Yeah,
Speaker 1: in a very sweet package. I still have the same
Speaker 1: problem I talked about on a previous behind the Scenes
Speaker 1: where A Million Miles Away plays in my head over
Speaker 1: and over. Oh yeah, listen, if anybody's looking for a
Speaker 1: good you know eighties eighties bop about disassociation, that's the
Speaker 1: song for you. It's great. I love it, and I
Speaker 1: quite enjoyed learning about Samuel pimsel I will say there
Speaker 1: was a thing that happened. You know, we talked about
Speaker 1: the two different colliery disasters that he raised money for
Speaker 1: the survivors and the remaining families afterwards. I initially was
Speaker 1: having so much trouble with that because some biographies will
Speaker 1: only mention one or the other of them, and as
Speaker 1: a consequence, I think things that have drawn from those
Speaker 1: and been written later will sometimes conflate the two. Wow,
Speaker 1: and so it would be like this disaster that happened
Speaker 1: in this place and this year, and I would be like,
Speaker 1: there's no such on record that I can find what
Speaker 1: is going on. And it took me a minute to
Speaker 1: be like, there are two separate events that each happened
Speaker 1: in somewhat similar ways and that he provided support for,
Speaker 1: but like it seems like those in some cases people
Speaker 1: only remember, like he raised money for survivors of a
Speaker 1: mining disaster, and it becomes one that was a little
Speaker 1: tricky to suss out, but we did it. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: may we all be such kind creatures as him and
Speaker 1: so willing to I mean, the things that he kind
Speaker 1: of put himself in the line of fire legally into
Speaker 1: with that whole shipping situation, because he was like, you
Speaker 1: guys are corrupt. You are making money off of this.
Speaker 1: How dare you try to vote down or quash bills
Speaker 1: that will reform this industry. Listen, we have not solved
Speaker 1: that problem at all of like people in government being corrupt.
Speaker 1: So I appreciate his incredible resilience. And you know, his wife,
Speaker 1: Eliza was very much in that fight with him and
Speaker 1: would also like do her own efforts in those bigger
Speaker 1: fundraising efforts. She was out there talking to people about
Speaker 1: the need for reform in labor and particularly in maritime labor.
Speaker 1: Just what a yeah, what a good egg. Yeah, thanks
Speaker 1: Samuel Plimsel. Thanks for trying to get people to look
Speaker 1: at history in a more nuanced way as well. When
Speaker 1: I first read that, I was like, it is this dicey?
Speaker 1: Is it doesn't seem to have been Yeah, because he
Speaker 1: really was like, look, we know you had every right
Speaker 1: to leave and want to have your own country. We
Speaker 1: get that. Let's be cool now though. Yeah. Well, and
Speaker 1: I think not so much about the relationship between the
Speaker 1: US and the UK, but there's plenty of other stuff
Speaker 1: going on in the world that has some kind of
Speaker 1: you know, historical precedent that's or historical contexts. That's super
Speaker 1: super relevant that people will want to boil down to
Speaker 1: this is good, this is bad. These people were good,
Speaker 1: these people were evil, and be outraged if anybody tries
Speaker 1: to be one hair more nuanced than that, And it's like, no, really,
Speaker 1: we're still talking about actual human beings operating from a
Speaker 1: variety of motives. Yeah, yeah, I mean I feel like
Speaker 1: that's a lesson we still learn all the time on
Speaker 1: the show, right, I mean I still have moments of
Speaker 1: revelation in that regard. We talked about it on a
Speaker 1: reason behind the scenes where we were talking about the
Speaker 1: you know, the golden age of piracy and really realizing
Speaker 1: how tied that was to political machinations and the ways
Speaker 1: that you know, the decisions of people in seats of
Speaker 1: government kind of funneled into that problem of piracy at
Speaker 1: the time. It all connects. Everything has its own you know,
Speaker 1: context and nuance, and if you're not looking at all
Speaker 1: of that, you're missing so much of the story. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is the whole premise of our ship. But in
Speaker 1: any case, in any case, if this is your weekend
Speaker 1: coming up, I hope you do good works unless you're exhausted,
Speaker 1: in which case sometimes the good works is hanging out
Speaker 1: on your couch with a cup of coffee and a cat.
Speaker 1: It's correact. That is also important because it makes you
Speaker 1: able to go out into the world a better and
Speaker 1: more resilient person. If you don't have time off, I
Speaker 1: hope you still get some time sitting on your badonk
Speaker 1: If that's your thing, it's certainly mine doing something it
Speaker 1: brings you joy or peace or some combo of the two.
Speaker 1: And I hope that everyone is kind and that everyone
Speaker 1: carries the spirit of Samuel Plimsel out into the world.
Speaker 1: Ay ay, we just want to take care of each other.
Speaker 1: I think he's a great inspiration and an icon of
Speaker 1: kindness that we can all get behind. We will be
Speaker 1: right back here on Monday with a brand new episode,
Speaker 1: and tomorrow we will have classic for you to enjoy.
