Yeah, we're just 5 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:28,200 Speaker 1: gonna put all of that in. We are going to 6 00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 1: time stamp this because what we're talking about is within 7 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,839 Speaker 1: the year of so just so you know, Uh, it 8 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:40,960 Speaker 1: is August two. Uh, and it's rainy and hot and 9 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 1: my air conditions not working. So no bad, real bad, 10 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 1: not good. Well, today we're going to talk about people 11 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:53,279 Speaker 1: who have been breaking records are making history. Um. And 12 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 1: I had a thought, Annie, have you ever tried to 13 00:00:55,840 --> 00:01:00,160 Speaker 1: do something to break a world record? No? I have not, 14 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 1: but I am extremely competitive. I have entered into a 15 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 1: lot of contests in my day. But I don't remember 16 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 1: this show. But there was this show on Nickelodeon, which 17 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: I didn't have Nickelodeon growing up, but my grandparents did, 18 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:17,400 Speaker 1: and so i'd go to their house and I would 19 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,320 Speaker 1: watched Nickelodeon, and there was the show where kids just 20 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 1: came on and did like talents. Um, it might win 21 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 1: a prize or something. So I practiced for that. I 22 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,040 Speaker 1: was really good, well, really good in my brain. I 23 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 1: don't know if I was second, but I was really 24 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 1: good at tap dancing. And then I tried to do 25 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 1: this like snapping routine because I saw another kid win 26 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: by the snapping routine, and I tried to combine the 27 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 1: snapping and the tap dance. And then I never actually 28 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: entered it, but I did put in some effort for that. 29 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 1: I'm not going to find this routine. You need to 30 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: do it for us. It's really good. Okay, do you 31 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 1: have We're gonna have to find stuff. I still have 32 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: tap shoes that might fit, but they're very old, so 33 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,559 Speaker 1: I doubt I bet they've been eaten by mold or something. 34 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: I don't know, I haven't. I was pretty we're gonna 35 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,639 Speaker 1: find yeah. My brother, so I was not into all 36 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: of that. I was just like chilling. I was a 37 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 1: nerd that just sat in the corner and read um. 38 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 1: But my brother thought he could upbreak the yo yo record. 39 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 1: He was really into his yo yo and would go 40 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 1: around trying to do tricks. I think what he was 41 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: really trying to do was find a way to hit 42 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 1: me with it and be like, oh, that was an 43 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,399 Speaker 1: accident to be honest, but he really thought he could 44 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 1: do some things because we would watch kind of like 45 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 1: we were talking about Nickelodeon shows with like professionals who 46 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 1: would do all of these tricks, you know, the dult 47 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: trapiece things, the triangle things, a walking dog, all of that. 48 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: So he really got into it and for a while 49 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 1: thought he was going to do this again. I still 50 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 1: have maintained that. I think he was just trying to 51 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 1: hit me with it, or kind of close to hitting 52 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,239 Speaker 1: me with it and be like, oh no, I was 53 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 1: probablyticing my yo yo. But I digress. There's been some 54 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 1: amazing things happening this year when it comes to ladies 55 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: breaking records and making history, so we wanted to take 56 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 1: some time because we've been talking about breaking records and 57 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: doing amazing things to talk about them and they're amazing accomplishments. Yes, 58 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,640 Speaker 1: and first we wanted to start with the youngest woman 59 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: to fly solo around the world, Zarah Rutherford. Rutherford, a 60 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,799 Speaker 1: nineteen year old Belgium, flew across five continents and more 61 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 1: than thirty two thousand miles over five months in a 62 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: micro light aircraft. Her flight included sixty stops across the continents, 63 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: including two delays in Alaska and Russia. She said of 64 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: her travels that quote the hardest part was flying over Siberia. 65 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: It was extremely cold, and if the engine was to stall, 66 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: I'd be hours away from rescue. I'm not sure I 67 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: would have survived, but thankfully she did, and though this 68 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 1: took longer than expected, she made it back in January 69 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 1: of twenty two. She started training for her license in 70 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: high school and was sponsored by her former school St. 71 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 1: Swisson's finlay House, who congratulated her for her achievements. In 72 00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: her interview with The Washington Post, she said, quote, growing up, 73 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 1: I never really saw many other female pilots, and that 74 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 1: was really discouraging. So right now I'm doing my best 75 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: to try to be a friendly face. And not only 76 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: did she break the record for being the youngest woman 77 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: to fly, she also broke the record for being the 78 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 1: quote first woman to circumnavigate the globe and on microlight aircraft, 79 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: which is pretty cool. Yes, um, And speaking of flying, 80 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:21,840 Speaker 1: we didn't put Mitch into this, but we did want 81 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 1: to talk about the fact that on August eight, in 82 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 1: American Airline flight from Dallas Fort Worth had an all 83 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,159 Speaker 1: the first time ever all black female crew, which was 84 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 1: pretty phenomenal when you look at all the things that 85 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: we've talked about, especially like Bessie Coleman, who we had 86 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,159 Speaker 1: on our female first episode and her accomplishments. But we 87 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: did want to acknowledge them and their amazing flight. But 88 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: that was a good fun flight too, you know, they 89 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 1: had some good times. Um. But next, we also wanted 90 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,159 Speaker 1: to congratulate golf for Hannah Green. Green from Australia made 91 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 1: history becoming the first woman to win a mixed gender 92 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: professional golf tournament. At the beginning of this year, she 93 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: won the TPC Murray River event in the PG eight 94 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,599 Speaker 1: Tour austral Asia and by the way, she was the 95 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen winner of the Women's PGA Championship as well. 96 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 1: After her when she said quote, hopefully it's inspiring for 97 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,600 Speaker 1: the rest of the girls, not only in the juniors 98 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 1: but in the field to try and get their name 99 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,840 Speaker 1: on a trophy. We need to get as much exposure 100 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: as possible and it's great that we have events in 101 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 1: the summer when the peak of the sport is on. 102 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 1: So congratulations to her. Yes, then we have the all 103 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:27,160 Speaker 1: ladies team that broke the world record for rowing Livy Costello, 104 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:31,279 Speaker 1: Sophia Dennison, Johnston Broke Downs, and Adrian Smith from the 105 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: Latin thirty five team rowed from California to Hawaii, rowing 106 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 1: more than two thousand four d nautical miles, taking turns 107 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 1: rowing in two hours shifts. They rode for thirty four days, 108 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 1: fourteen hours and eleven minutes, arriving in Honolulu. They survived 109 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: on a prepackaged meals and took a ninety minute sleep 110 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 1: breaks per day. And not only was this their first 111 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,480 Speaker 1: time rowing in the deep ocean, but they did it 112 00:05:54,560 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: without assistance. Who ninety minutes right apparently had a pretty 113 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 1: big online following. Uh so they were really encouraged by 114 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 1: the people who are like, yeah, I get it. I 115 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 1: couldn't imagine rowing is hard. And they only slipped ninety 116 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,840 Speaker 1: minutes a day. No, thank you, I cannot survive that ever. Um. 117 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 1: And then we also wanted to take the time to 118 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:17,040 Speaker 1: shout out Tomorrow Wildcott, who broke the record for heaviest 119 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: cumulative lift for bench squad and press during the World 120 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: Raw Powerlifting Federation American Pro She is from Maryland, UM 121 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 1: and competing this year. She apparently started training in when 122 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 1: she was trying to get into shape, and she couldn't 123 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: go out for basketball or baseball, as she said, because 124 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: she was a mom, and she was a single mom 125 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 1: and needed to do this on her time, and this 126 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: was something that she could do and got really passionate about. Obviously, 127 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: she lifted one thousand, six hundred twenty point four pounds 128 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 1: or seven thirty seven point five ms, which apparently, if 129 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:55,039 Speaker 1: you know much about anything, that's like a size of 130 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: a giraffe, I saw this only Getness World Getness World 131 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: record best the comparison for her.

She just talked 135 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 1: about how she needed to make a change in our life. 136 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 1: She said, when I looked in my kids eyes, I 137 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 1: wanted to make sure that I was there for them, 138 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 1: so I had to start taking care of me. So yeah, 139 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: that's how she began all of this. So breaking those 140 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 1: world records get it. Absolutely. Congratulations to everybody on this list. 141 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: Um now I'm thinking we gotta find a record we 142 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: could break, Santha. It would be something very obscure. Think. 143 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 1: I think it's got to be something like you have 144 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 1: to do fans fiction reading for NonStop for a back 145 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: hours and then you would be up there. That would 146 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 1: be a holiday for me. We'll think on it. We'll 147 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: think on it.
