WEBVTT - From Lassie to Jesus

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:04.200
<v Speaker 1>There are ten people I would like to meet when

0:00:04.280 --> 0:00:07.400
<v Speaker 1>I get to the Pearly Gates. I'm going to list

0:00:07.480 --> 0:00:11.760
<v Speaker 1>them on my show, and one is not Phoebe Kates.

0:00:12.080 --> 0:00:14.800
<v Speaker 1>Phoebe Cats is not dead, so she wouldn't be in

0:00:14.920 --> 0:00:19.919
<v Speaker 1>heaven in any way. She's a wonderful person, a wonderful,

0:00:19.960 --> 0:00:26.520
<v Speaker 1>blonderful person. Ten people I would like to meet in Heaven. Hello,

0:00:26.560 --> 0:00:29.560
<v Speaker 1>podcast listeners. My name is Ron Burgundy, and I'm an

0:00:29.560 --> 0:00:33.760
<v Speaker 1>exceptional man. About a year ago, another wonderful man named

0:00:33.800 --> 0:00:37.640
<v Speaker 1>Mitch Palbon came out with a very popular book called

0:00:37.720 --> 0:00:41.000
<v Speaker 1>The Five People You Meet in Heaven, And although I

0:00:41.040 --> 0:00:43.800
<v Speaker 1>didn't read the book, it was a big time bestseller.

0:00:44.360 --> 0:00:47.600
<v Speaker 1>I prefer saucier stuff when I read. I like historical

0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:51.240
<v Speaker 1>novels about lords and ladies and body wenches and sword

0:00:51.320 --> 0:00:54.720
<v Speaker 1>play I do. I like sword play in my fiction,

0:00:54.760 --> 0:00:58.160
<v Speaker 1>and I like comely lasses too. I also like thought

0:00:58.280 --> 0:01:01.920
<v Speaker 1>provoking literature about the Roman Times. I'm a bit of

0:01:01.920 --> 0:01:04.760
<v Speaker 1>a scholar when it comes to the Roman Times. Did

0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:07.600
<v Speaker 1>you know that they didn't refer to the Roman Times

0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:11.360
<v Speaker 1>as the Roman Times? In the Roman Times? They didn't.

0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:14.319
<v Speaker 1>They called them the now Times, just like we do now.

0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:19.319
<v Speaker 1>Isn't that funny. Oh yes, yes, Carolina is here as always.

0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:23.199
<v Speaker 1>She's my partner in crime for these entertaining talkie talks

0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:26.319
<v Speaker 1>we do called podcast. Hello there, old friend. Were you

0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:29.399
<v Speaker 1>going to tell people what to show is all about? Nonsense?

0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:32.360
<v Speaker 1>It's about nonsense like it is every week. I'm going

0:01:32.400 --> 0:01:34.920
<v Speaker 1>to talk and talk and talk until it's all over,

0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:37.360
<v Speaker 1>and then I'm going to walk to my car, take

0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:39.080
<v Speaker 1>a nap in my car, and then drive to a

0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:42.360
<v Speaker 1>supermarket and get a bottle of scotch. From there, I'll

0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:45.280
<v Speaker 1>head home so I can lounge on my balcony and

0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:48.480
<v Speaker 1>the nude drinking Scotch until I pass out. At some

0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:50.840
<v Speaker 1>point I will eat a steak. You told me there

0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:54.680
<v Speaker 1>was a theme to today's show, though I did, Oh

0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:58.200
<v Speaker 1>so I did. It was the book by Mitch Gablon

0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:04.200
<v Speaker 1>called People You've Got to Meet in Heaven. Well, guess what, Carolina.

0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:07.440
<v Speaker 1>We are going to beat this Ganton guy and we're

0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:11.160
<v Speaker 1>going to talk about not five, but ten people I

0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:14.240
<v Speaker 1>would like to meet in heaven. That's twice what that

0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:16.960
<v Speaker 1>guy talked about. So today's episode is going to be

0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:19.200
<v Speaker 1>about the ten people we would like to meet in heaven.

0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:22.760
<v Speaker 1>That's right, And I think everyone has a shortlist of

0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:26.280
<v Speaker 1>people throughout history that they would like to meet when

0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:29.200
<v Speaker 1>they finally get to Heaven. I mean, don't you, Carolina,

0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:32.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I don't mean you probably could make

0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:34.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean, let's be clear, Heaven's not just going to

0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:37.240
<v Speaker 1>be about meeting people. There will be tennis courts and

0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:40.920
<v Speaker 1>poolside bars with all you can eat, buffets with tacos

0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:43.240
<v Speaker 1>and make your own ice cream Sundays. There will be

0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:46.760
<v Speaker 1>movie nights and meet and greet socials and Katie Hawkins

0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:50.280
<v Speaker 1>dances and let's not forget world class Sadie Hawkins dance.

0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:55.560
<v Speaker 1>You mean, yeah, Sadie or Katie, depends on what part

0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:58.680
<v Speaker 1>of the country you're from. Also, let's not forget in

0:02:58.680 --> 0:03:01.919
<v Speaker 1>Heaven there's gonna be world class entertainment along with seven

0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:05.560
<v Speaker 1>gaming rooms and the beds. Don't get me started on

0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:08.799
<v Speaker 1>the beds. The thread count on the sheets in Heaven

0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:14.919
<v Speaker 1>will be simply the best. I'm guessing Egyptian cotton, maybe Macy's,

0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:17.480
<v Speaker 1>or maybe they get a discounted bed bath. And beyond it,

0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:20.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't I don't know what I'm saying. Maybe the

0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:22.600
<v Speaker 1>angels make the sheets and Heaven. You know what, Carolina,

0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:27.680
<v Speaker 1>you just don't know. You don't that's what That's what

0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:31.040
<v Speaker 1>I know. You just don't know. You don't know much

0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:35.680
<v Speaker 1>about heaven except that it will be pure luxury. Oh Carolina,

0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:38.560
<v Speaker 1>You and I would love to have in my bathroom

0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:42.080
<v Speaker 1>up in heaven one of those shower nozzles that hits

0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:44.480
<v Speaker 1>you like thirty five different ways, right in the butt

0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:47.440
<v Speaker 1>hole and the donker. I've always wanted one of those.

0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:49.280
<v Speaker 1>How about you? What kind of shower would you like

0:03:49.360 --> 0:03:52.080
<v Speaker 1>in Heaven? Um, I don't know. I've never really thought

0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:54.240
<v Speaker 1>about it. I mean, I guess I would like it

0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:58.600
<v Speaker 1>to work when I turn it on, and and I

0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:01.160
<v Speaker 1>guess it would be great if the hot water didn't

0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:04.680
<v Speaker 1>cut out all of a sudden. Come on, Carolina, dream

0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:07.240
<v Speaker 1>a little. It's heaven we're talking about. I mean, I

0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:10.800
<v Speaker 1>like good water pressure, But what about thirty five jets

0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:15.720
<v Speaker 1>of high power water hitting your boobies in your butt? Um? Sure,

0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:19.560
<v Speaker 1>I guess I would like that. Now we're talking huh man,

0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:22.360
<v Speaker 1>I can hardly wait to get their TV in the bathroom.

0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:24.720
<v Speaker 1>Should we get on with the theme of today's show?

0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:28.360
<v Speaker 1>You bet. Here's the theme song I wrote for today's show.

0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:31.080
<v Speaker 1>Even though we always have our normal theme songs that

0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:33.320
<v Speaker 1>we play at the beginning of the podcast. But it

0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:38.400
<v Speaker 1>goes like this, there are ten people I would like

0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:41.719
<v Speaker 1>to meet when I get to the early gates. I'm

0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:45.360
<v Speaker 1>going to list them on my show. And one is

0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:49.280
<v Speaker 1>not Phoebe Kates. Phoebe Cats is not dead, so she

0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:54.159
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't be in heaven in any way. She's a wonderful person,

0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:58.200
<v Speaker 1>a wonderful, blonderful person. Ten people I would like to

0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:03.760
<v Speaker 1>meet in heaven. Oh that grab you Huh? You just

0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:06.280
<v Speaker 1>made that up. I've been working on that theme song

0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:10.880
<v Speaker 1>for a week. Nope, Carolina, you are a quick little

0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:14.680
<v Speaker 1>smarty bands. I did indeed make that up. Well, let's

0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:18.760
<v Speaker 1>get on with today's show. The first person I would

0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:22.800
<v Speaker 1>like to meet in heaven is Dougie Stupor knot. Who

0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:27.640
<v Speaker 1>is Douggy stupor Not? Interesting story. I was in junior high,

0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:31.480
<v Speaker 1>so we are going back sometime. And I had a

0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:35.200
<v Speaker 1>baseball glove. And and this was not just any baseball glove,

0:05:35.440 --> 0:05:38.560
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean? Baseball glove did I ever?

0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:41.919
<v Speaker 1>I slept with it, I brought it to dances. I

0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:45.120
<v Speaker 1>went everywhere with that baseball glove. I didn't take that

0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:48.400
<v Speaker 1>darn thing off my hand for a whole year, and

0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:53.880
<v Speaker 1>then one day my baseball glove goes missing and I panic.

0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:56.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I tried to burn down the school. I

0:05:56.680 --> 0:06:00.360
<v Speaker 1>called the FBI, no joke. I got a drug sniffing

0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:03.320
<v Speaker 1>dog and tried to teach it to smell leather. It

0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:05.880
<v Speaker 1>found horse saddles and wallets and car seats, but the

0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:09.080
<v Speaker 1>stupid dog never found my glove. Then one day I

0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:11.520
<v Speaker 1>got a hot tip. Some people said that they saw

0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:15.400
<v Speaker 1>Dougie stuborn Not with my glove in the park. Now

0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:17.719
<v Speaker 1>stupor Ko had the locker right next to mine, so

0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:20.880
<v Speaker 1>it made perfect sense. I went to his house and

0:06:20.960 --> 0:06:24.839
<v Speaker 1>I confronted him, and you know what he did, He

0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:29.440
<v Speaker 1>lied right to my face. So long story short, when

0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:31.600
<v Speaker 1>I get to Heaven, I'm gonna find doug you stuber Not,

0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:33.840
<v Speaker 1>and I'm gonna punch him in the nose and get

0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:36.920
<v Speaker 1>my glove back. The first person you meet in heaven

0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:39.200
<v Speaker 1>a guy named Dougie Stuborn. Not You're going to punch

0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:42.400
<v Speaker 1>in the nose. Okay, who else would you like to

0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:47.960
<v Speaker 1>meet in heaven? Michael Jackson? Oh okay, that's interesting. Why

0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:51.200
<v Speaker 1>does that surprise you? We we were friends once. I

0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:54.159
<v Speaker 1>didn't know anything about any of that other junk that

0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:56.479
<v Speaker 1>was going on. I was. I was more friends with Tito,

0:06:56.560 --> 0:06:58.919
<v Speaker 1>but Michael and I had a love of animals. We shared.

0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:03.080
<v Speaker 1>He had his monkeys and I had Baxter. Anyway, most

0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:05.200
<v Speaker 1>people know that for a short while I had the

0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:09.080
<v Speaker 1>world's largest collection of domesticated big horn sheep. Can you

0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:12.320
<v Speaker 1>domesticate a big horn sheep? Not really, but I had

0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:14.840
<v Speaker 1>two of them in my backyard and they were about

0:07:14.880 --> 0:07:17.600
<v Speaker 1>as domesticated as you could get. That was the world's

0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:21.720
<v Speaker 1>largest collection, world's largest, or maybe they were they were

0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:25.320
<v Speaker 1>just sick, who knows. I had the Jackson's over for

0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:28.760
<v Speaker 1>dinner one night. Michael was just a boy, maybe fourteen. Anyway,

0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:31.320
<v Speaker 1>I could tell he liked the big horns, and well,

0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:34.040
<v Speaker 1>it was a wonderful night. We played twister and sang

0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:36.520
<v Speaker 1>songs and and then they left. And then I noticed

0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:40.000
<v Speaker 1>that one of my big horns was gone. Yeah, the

0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:42.800
<v Speaker 1>one I called lazy butt, on account that he never

0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:45.560
<v Speaker 1>moved or did anything and just sat around and looked

0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:49.040
<v Speaker 1>tired and sad. And I found out years later Michael

0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:52.080
<v Speaker 1>Jackson has a whole zoo at his house. So the

0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:54.480
<v Speaker 1>proof is in the pudding. I know that that guy

0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:57.120
<v Speaker 1>stole one of my big horns. Anyway, when I get

0:07:57.120 --> 0:07:59.720
<v Speaker 1>to Heaven, I'm gonna find Michael Jackson and punch him

0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:01.360
<v Speaker 1>in the news and find out what happened to my

0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:04.480
<v Speaker 1>bighorn sheep. So are there people you would want to

0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:07.680
<v Speaker 1>meet in Heaven that you wouldn't punch the nose? Sure?

0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:11.680
<v Speaker 1>What about Yoda? Yoda from Star Wars? Yep, he's not

0:08:11.760 --> 0:08:15.520
<v Speaker 1>real in heaven, he's real. I'd really like to sit

0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:19.280
<v Speaker 1>down with Yoda. Not because he's a green blob of

0:08:19.320 --> 0:08:22.720
<v Speaker 1>a guy, or because he talks backwards, or because he's

0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:25.480
<v Speaker 1>a smart guy, or because he can float in the air.

0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:27.600
<v Speaker 1>I would like to talk to Yoda because he's like

0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:32.360
<v Speaker 1>eight hundred years old. How fun would that be? Right?

0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:35.960
<v Speaker 1>You could ask a guy like that almost anything. What

0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:38.240
<v Speaker 1>was it like to roll a hoop down the street

0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:41.240
<v Speaker 1>for fun? What? What what's it like to kill a witch?

0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:44.679
<v Speaker 1>Who was the baddest mofo during the Civil War? How

0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:47.679
<v Speaker 1>tall was Alexander Hamilton's And believe me, he would be

0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:50.240
<v Speaker 1>happy to tell you. That guy can talk up a stormy.

0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:53.840
<v Speaker 1>He takes his time, but he can sure talk. Did

0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:56.760
<v Speaker 1>you ever see the movie Star Wars. Did I see

0:08:56.800 --> 0:08:59.679
<v Speaker 1>Star Wars? Yes, it's it's a movie that takes place

0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:04.440
<v Speaker 1>in outer space with laser shooters. Huh did you see Yeah,

0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:07.160
<v Speaker 1>everyone saw Star Wars. Yes, I saw it. Then you

0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:10.240
<v Speaker 1>know about Yoda. He doesn't really show up until the

0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:14.040
<v Speaker 1>Second Star Wars. You know. You may know it as

0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:16.000
<v Speaker 1>the fifth Star Wars, but in my day it was

0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:20.000
<v Speaker 1>called the second Star Wars. Actually, Ronald Reagan started Star Wars,

0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:23.480
<v Speaker 1>but George Lucas gave it the pizzas. So you would

0:09:23.480 --> 0:09:26.160
<v Speaker 1>like to meet Yoda in heaven and ask him about

0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:29.480
<v Speaker 1>notable moments from American history. Notice I said Yoda, not

0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:34.120
<v Speaker 1>baby Yoda. Baby Yoda is ridiculous and stupid. I had

0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:36.880
<v Speaker 1>no intention of ever talking to that guy. I don't

0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:39.000
<v Speaker 1>see what the big deal is. He's not cute, he

0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:41.920
<v Speaker 1>doesn't talk, he's not even a good actor, but the

0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:44.880
<v Speaker 1>real grown up Yoda. But he's a cool customer in heaven,

0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:47.760
<v Speaker 1>and there's there's probably a line out the back of

0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:50.360
<v Speaker 1>Heaven to talk to him or get him to sign stuff.

0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:52.680
<v Speaker 1>And I wouldn't wait in a line. But eventually I

0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:55.560
<v Speaker 1>get my chance to talk to Yoda. I'm not one

0:09:55.559 --> 0:09:57.760
<v Speaker 1>of those crazy Star wars. People you see down in

0:09:57.920 --> 0:10:00.440
<v Speaker 1>my neck of the woods around comic con, you know

0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:02.760
<v Speaker 1>the type. They get all dressed up and play with

0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:06.680
<v Speaker 1>fake lightsabers. Carolina, you ever you ever heard of comic con?

0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:10.160
<v Speaker 1>Once again, everyone has heard of comic con. Don't sense me.

0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:12.800
<v Speaker 1>It's a very big deal down in my neck of

0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:16.120
<v Speaker 1>the woods. It happens every year, and let me tell

0:10:16.160 --> 0:10:19.160
<v Speaker 1>you it is a magical extravagance. Of the streets are

0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:21.280
<v Speaker 1>filled with the colors of the rainbow, and there's like

0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:24.839
<v Speaker 1>sixteen Spider Man's and thirty Wonder Woman's and usually a

0:10:24.920 --> 0:10:27.800
<v Speaker 1>Count Dracula. And you're like, guy, is that the best

0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:30.480
<v Speaker 1>you can do? Count Dracula? But it's a it's a

0:10:30.480 --> 0:10:33.199
<v Speaker 1>ton of fun. I usually open up a little butter

0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:35.680
<v Speaker 1>brickle stand to make a few extra shekels the week

0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:39.400
<v Speaker 1>comic Con comes to town, don't It's called ron Burgundies

0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:43.240
<v Speaker 1>Bodacious butter brickle, and it's usually the hit a comic con.

0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:47.160
<v Speaker 1>Google it you'll see it's called ron burgundiese bodacious butter Brickle.

0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:52.000
<v Speaker 1>That's goody, you know, Carolina. Before we continue, I let's

0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:54.320
<v Speaker 1>take an ad break. We'll take a little pause here,

0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:57.040
<v Speaker 1>and when we come back, we will talk a little

0:10:57.040 --> 0:10:59.520
<v Speaker 1>bit more on people I would love to meet in heaven.

0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:14.880
<v Speaker 1>And we're back at the Ron Burgundy Podcast. We're listening

0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:18.680
<v Speaker 1>to Ron list his ten people he would like to

0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:22.200
<v Speaker 1>meet in heaven. Yes, he's a controversial one. I'd like

0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:25.560
<v Speaker 1>to meet John F. Kennedy when I get to heaven. No. Yeah,

0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:28.720
<v Speaker 1>he would be interesting, probably very smart. The main reason

0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:32.800
<v Speaker 1>I'd like to meet JFK. As he is sometimes known,

0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:36.120
<v Speaker 1>is because he might be able to confirm my deepest

0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:40.160
<v Speaker 1>suspicion about who really killed him. H Lee Harvey Oswald

0:11:40.240 --> 0:12:01.440
<v Speaker 1>killed Kennedy. Ah, oh, Carolina, you said, unquestioning, naive young woman.

0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:04.600
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't expect you to understand. But the world isn't

0:12:04.640 --> 0:12:07.600
<v Speaker 1>always wrapped up in the neat little pink bow that

0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:10.800
<v Speaker 1>you wanted to be. No, there are a lot of

0:12:10.960 --> 0:12:14.760
<v Speaker 1>theories about who killed Kennedy. Did the Russians do it?

0:12:15.480 --> 0:12:19.200
<v Speaker 1>What about the mob? Some people think Lyndon B. Johnson

0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:22.840
<v Speaker 1>paid Oswald to do it. Hoover was in love with Oswald.

0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:24.840
<v Speaker 1>That was a known fact, so maybe he did it.

0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:28.599
<v Speaker 1>There are those not many who think Christopher Walkin did it.

0:12:29.320 --> 0:12:31.800
<v Speaker 1>Even aliens come into play, But I've I've had my

0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:35.439
<v Speaker 1>own theory for quite some time. And if I get

0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:37.400
<v Speaker 1>a chance to ask j f K, I bet he

0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:42.400
<v Speaker 1>would tell me. I'm right. Who do you think killed Kennedy? Well,

0:12:42.480 --> 0:12:45.760
<v Speaker 1>simple math. Everyone knew the thirty fifth president was sleeping

0:12:45.800 --> 0:12:50.800
<v Speaker 1>with Marilyn Monroe, that voluptuous, blonde bombshell and Hollywood vixen.

0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:55.120
<v Speaker 1>And what red blooded American male would not sleep with

0:12:55.160 --> 0:13:00.600
<v Speaker 1>Marilyn Monroe if given the chance? Huh? Wh wouldn't sleep

0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:04.520
<v Speaker 1>with Marilyn Monroe? Can you think of anyone? Would you

0:13:04.520 --> 0:13:07.040
<v Speaker 1>would sleep with her? Right? I mean, yeah, I guess

0:13:07.080 --> 0:13:08.760
<v Speaker 1>I would. You wouldn't kick her out of bed for

0:13:08.840 --> 0:13:13.840
<v Speaker 1>eating crackers? No, I wouldn't Marilyn Monroe? Classic, I mean,

0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:16.280
<v Speaker 1>I dig up her grave and take her for a

0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:18.680
<v Speaker 1>ride today if I thought the worms hadn't already eaten

0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:27.120
<v Speaker 1>her up. Oh my god? Uh uh you know what? No,

0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:29.920
<v Speaker 1>I yeah, I shouldn't have said that. Don't work, you

0:13:29.960 --> 0:13:32.520
<v Speaker 1>know what? I will edit that out later. No, No,

0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:36.720
<v Speaker 1>I got it. Anyway, all of Washington, New JFK, and

0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:40.040
<v Speaker 1>Maryland were sneaking off to engage in sexual activity, and

0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:42.840
<v Speaker 1>this did not sit well with someone in particular. And

0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:47.280
<v Speaker 1>this someone hatched a plan. While the motorcaid steered its

0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:50.400
<v Speaker 1>way through the hot streets of Dallas that unforgettable day,

0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:53.959
<v Speaker 1>Jacqueline Lee Kennedy reached into her purse and pulled out

0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:57.000
<v Speaker 1>a tiny pistol that blew open our president's head. So

0:13:57.080 --> 0:14:00.800
<v Speaker 1>do you think Jackie Kennedy killed jfk Hell no fury

0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:05.000
<v Speaker 1>like a woman scorned. It's a theory. I dabbled in criminology,

0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:07.160
<v Speaker 1>A parlor game, really, but it's a lot of fun.

0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:09.480
<v Speaker 1>So if I saw him in heaven, I would ask him, Hey,

0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:11.640
<v Speaker 1>did your wife shoot you in the head. I can

0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:14.040
<v Speaker 1>see it now, the slow smile and the chuckle and

0:14:14.080 --> 0:14:17.080
<v Speaker 1>finally the admission. You'd probably shake my hand as the

0:14:17.120 --> 0:14:21.560
<v Speaker 1>first person to solve the case. Anyway, who else? I mean,

0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:25.400
<v Speaker 1>you can meet anyone. What about like Gandhi or Napoleon

0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:31.560
<v Speaker 1>or Lincoln. I've got one Jerry Lewis. That guy always

0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:34.040
<v Speaker 1>made me laugh with his antics, The King of slapstick.

0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:39.720
<v Speaker 1>Jerry Lewis. What a performer. That's a guy I would

0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:43.600
<v Speaker 1>want to meet. Then I'd go for jazz musician Miles Davis.

0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:47.920
<v Speaker 1>That's pretty cool, ye, Well, for those of you who

0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:50.960
<v Speaker 1>don't know, I play a pretty solid jazz flute. In fact,

0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:54.360
<v Speaker 1>I'd say I can sit in with the best of them. Anyway,

0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:57.560
<v Speaker 1>Miles and I go way back. I was once covering

0:14:57.560 --> 0:14:59.760
<v Speaker 1>a news story in a little town outside of Denver

0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:04.240
<v Speaker 1>called Mullenston. Look it up, It's on Google. And after

0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:07.480
<v Speaker 1>a after a long day's work, I pulled into a

0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:10.280
<v Speaker 1>roadside bar to have a scotch and check out the

0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:14.080
<v Speaker 1>local color. Up on the bandstand was none other than

0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:17.440
<v Speaker 1>Miles Davis. This was in his Coltrane period, so it

0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:21.160
<v Speaker 1>was him and John Coltrane. Anyway. The crowd was comprised

0:15:21.160 --> 0:15:24.120
<v Speaker 1>of mainly cowboys and hicks, and it it struck me

0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:26.320
<v Speaker 1>as odd that Miles would have gotten the gig in

0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:28.600
<v Speaker 1>this out of the way joint. But I was digging

0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:30.600
<v Speaker 1>the sound and enjoying the scotch when all of a

0:15:30.600 --> 0:15:33.360
<v Speaker 1>sudden there was a roar of thunder and the doors

0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:36.320
<v Speaker 1>burst open. It was a biker gang, but not just

0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:39.680
<v Speaker 1>any biker gang, but the most fearsome of them all,

0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:43.280
<v Speaker 1>the Crimson Dragons. I thought the Hell's Angels were like

0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:46.520
<v Speaker 1>the most notorious biker gang. Okay, but you know what,

0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:49.000
<v Speaker 1>this is my story, Caroline. If you want to make

0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:51.280
<v Speaker 1>up a biker gang name for your stories, then you

0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:54.000
<v Speaker 1>can do that. But but this is my story. So

0:15:54.120 --> 0:15:56.800
<v Speaker 1>the Crimson Dragons it is. It just doesn't even sound tough.

0:15:56.840 --> 0:15:59.720
<v Speaker 1>It sounds like a girls soccer team. These were tough

0:15:59.760 --> 0:16:03.720
<v Speaker 1>guy eyes. It must have been fifty of them, leather jackets, beards,

0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:06.920
<v Speaker 1>blue jeans, the whole nine yards. And they didn't like jazz.

0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:09.840
<v Speaker 1>The leader of the group a big scary guy named

0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:13.040
<v Speaker 1>Mustache Bill. Yell out, get them musicians off the stage.

0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:17.120
<v Speaker 1>Mustache the leader of the Crimson Dragons. Yes, he was

0:16:17.440 --> 0:16:21.840
<v Speaker 1>six ft ten weighed three hundred pounds. To kill him

0:16:21.880 --> 0:16:25.400
<v Speaker 1>with a gun would take fifteen rounds. He ate like

0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:28.600
<v Speaker 1>a bear, and he smelled like one too. Every time

0:16:28.640 --> 0:16:31.640
<v Speaker 1>he pooped it was a mountain of pooh. In one

0:16:31.720 --> 0:16:35.520
<v Speaker 1>hand he held across from his wife. In the other

0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:38.840
<v Speaker 1>hand he carried a big bowie knife. The cross was

0:16:38.920 --> 0:16:42.440
<v Speaker 1>for prayer and the knife for to kill. And that's

0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:47.000
<v Speaker 1>why they called him Mustache Bill. You wrote a poem.

0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:50.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure what you're talking about anyway, This mean

0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:54.320
<v Speaker 1>old Mustache Bill says, get them musicians off the stage.

0:16:54.760 --> 0:16:58.640
<v Speaker 1>And I could see that Miles and Train were scared

0:16:58.680 --> 0:17:01.760
<v Speaker 1>to death. The old gang started running for the band,

0:17:01.840 --> 0:17:05.440
<v Speaker 1>knocking over chairs and tossing people around. Well that's when

0:17:05.480 --> 0:17:07.760
<v Speaker 1>I remember that I had my flute with me, and

0:17:07.800 --> 0:17:10.240
<v Speaker 1>as they are running to beat up the guys in

0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:13.520
<v Speaker 1>the band, I yell out, anyone who doesn't like jazz

0:17:13.600 --> 0:17:16.639
<v Speaker 1>is a square. And I know it sounds like a

0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:21.080
<v Speaker 1>pretty soft insult these days, but back then, whoa boy?

0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:23.439
<v Speaker 1>You call someone a square? And it was like calling

0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:27.879
<v Speaker 1>them a mother today anyway, the guy comes to a

0:17:28.040 --> 0:17:31.400
<v Speaker 1>dead halt and turns to look at me. The bar

0:17:31.640 --> 0:17:34.439
<v Speaker 1>is as quiet as a whorehouse on a Sunday morning.

0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:38.360
<v Speaker 1>Mustache Bill starts to walk towards me, holding the big

0:17:38.359 --> 0:17:43.439
<v Speaker 1>booie knife that there wasn't a poem. He starts to

0:17:43.480 --> 0:17:46.240
<v Speaker 1>walk towards me, and that's when I bring the flute

0:17:46.240 --> 0:17:50.560
<v Speaker 1>to my mouth and blow. At first something soft and juicy,

0:17:50.880 --> 0:17:53.720
<v Speaker 1>But then my mojo gets going and I get real soulful,

0:17:54.320 --> 0:17:56.640
<v Speaker 1>and some of the guys in the motorcycle gang start

0:17:56.680 --> 0:17:59.120
<v Speaker 1>getting into the groove, as they say, and I get

0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:01.920
<v Speaker 1>deeper into a day own home jazz funk kind of thing.

0:18:02.560 --> 0:18:05.000
<v Speaker 1>The rhythm section starts to join in, and I can

0:18:05.040 --> 0:18:07.280
<v Speaker 1>see now I have the whole gang in the palm

0:18:07.320 --> 0:18:10.919
<v Speaker 1>of my hand. Then Miles and Coltrane start playing with me.

0:18:11.400 --> 0:18:14.680
<v Speaker 1>Each new riff has them cheering and shouting. They hardly

0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:17.680
<v Speaker 1>let us finish. I want more jazz, shouted Mustache Bill.

0:18:18.240 --> 0:18:21.439
<v Speaker 1>We played on into the morning. Miles Davis thank me

0:18:21.480 --> 0:18:23.800
<v Speaker 1>for saving the band, and off I went into the

0:18:23.800 --> 0:18:27.080
<v Speaker 1>early morning air of the Rocky Mountains, satisfied that jazz

0:18:27.080 --> 0:18:31.240
<v Speaker 1>flute had saved another life. So yeah, I'd like to

0:18:31.640 --> 0:18:34.280
<v Speaker 1>see my old friend Miles Davis when I get to heaven.

0:18:34.840 --> 0:18:37.040
<v Speaker 1>We could have a good laugh over Mustache Bill and

0:18:37.080 --> 0:18:40.720
<v Speaker 1>the Crimson Dragons. I'm sorry, I can't help it. Mustache

0:18:40.720 --> 0:18:43.359
<v Speaker 1>Bill and the Crimson Dragon sounds like a children's book.

0:18:44.000 --> 0:18:47.400
<v Speaker 1>You know who else I'd like to meet in heaven? Cleopatra.

0:18:47.560 --> 0:18:50.359
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's a good choice, don't I know it. Cleopatra

0:18:50.520 --> 0:18:53.560
<v Speaker 1>was probably the foxiest woman of all time. She had

0:18:53.600 --> 0:18:56.159
<v Speaker 1>a way about her, that's for sure. I like the

0:18:56.200 --> 0:18:58.960
<v Speaker 1>way she did her stuff all right, man, that was

0:18:59.000 --> 0:19:01.840
<v Speaker 1>all woman, packed of that Egyptian frame. Hot cha cha.

0:19:02.600 --> 0:19:05.560
<v Speaker 1>Where there's smoke, there's fire. You know what I'm talking about?

0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:09.159
<v Speaker 1>Sea Balls? My name isn't Sea Balls? What happened to you?

0:19:09.320 --> 0:19:12.600
<v Speaker 1>So you want to meet Cleopatra because she was beautiful?

0:19:12.760 --> 0:19:16.040
<v Speaker 1>Is that it? Little background? Sea balls. I am an

0:19:16.080 --> 0:19:20.640
<v Speaker 1>amateur historian. Almost everyone knows that I've actually won awards

0:19:20.680 --> 0:19:24.320
<v Speaker 1>with my history stuff. AnyWho not to brag, but ancient

0:19:24.400 --> 0:19:27.320
<v Speaker 1>Roman times is kind of my thing. In short, I've

0:19:27.359 --> 0:19:30.920
<v Speaker 1>done the research. Cleopatra, as she was known, was the

0:19:31.000 --> 0:19:34.359
<v Speaker 1>ruler of Egypt, and this Egypt was not the show

0:19:34.400 --> 0:19:36.720
<v Speaker 1>it is today, no, sir. This is what they call

0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:39.480
<v Speaker 1>the Golden period of Egypt, when all of Egypt looked

0:19:39.480 --> 0:19:43.280
<v Speaker 1>like palm springs. The women looked like the MGM backlot

0:19:43.320 --> 0:19:45.560
<v Speaker 1>in the forties, and the men looked like guys working

0:19:45.560 --> 0:19:48.359
<v Speaker 1>out in muscle beach. Most of the men walked around

0:19:48.359 --> 0:19:51.840
<v Speaker 1>in long beach towels they called togas, and the women

0:19:51.960 --> 0:19:54.800
<v Speaker 1>mainly wore one piece bathing suits and four inch heels.

0:19:54.880 --> 0:19:58.359
<v Speaker 1>It was a glorious time. There was much playing around

0:19:58.359 --> 0:20:02.119
<v Speaker 1>in the sun, games like volley all played with human heads.

0:20:02.359 --> 0:20:06.240
<v Speaker 1>The research shows, and other sports that were specific to

0:20:06.320 --> 0:20:10.359
<v Speaker 1>the time, like the game ner athene, which I don't

0:20:10.359 --> 0:20:12.719
<v Speaker 1>have the time to explain, but it was something like

0:20:12.760 --> 0:20:15.560
<v Speaker 1>the game lacrosse with shovels and rocks and was very popular.

0:20:15.600 --> 0:20:19.240
<v Speaker 1>According to my research, into this world of blissful pleasure

0:20:19.640 --> 0:20:25.080
<v Speaker 1>comes Cleopatra, Cha, Mama Louis. She looked like Estra Williams

0:20:25.080 --> 0:20:28.720
<v Speaker 1>climbing out of a pool. Sorry. She looked like Dorothy

0:20:28.800 --> 0:20:33.400
<v Speaker 1>Lamore walking out of the jungle, Dorothy Veronica Lake, swishing

0:20:33.480 --> 0:20:36.119
<v Speaker 1>and swaying her way onto the scene. I don't know

0:20:36.200 --> 0:20:39.120
<v Speaker 1>her either. Sorry, Okay, I'll make it easy, said Charis

0:20:39.400 --> 0:20:44.240
<v Speaker 1>in American in Paris. I wooka nothing. Sorry, Janet Lee, No,

0:20:44.520 --> 0:20:48.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't know Gene Harlow nothing. I can't. Let's see

0:20:48.960 --> 0:20:52.000
<v Speaker 1>think ron more modern. Here's one Tina Louise moving on.

0:20:52.160 --> 0:20:54.639
<v Speaker 1>I don't know her. Okay, what if I threw Angie

0:20:54.720 --> 0:20:59.720
<v Speaker 1>Dickinson your way? Three fast ones, Anita Eckbert, Jane Manson,

0:21:00.280 --> 0:21:04.880
<v Speaker 1>Adrian Barbara. Come on, she's contemporary, got it? Wrap your

0:21:04.880 --> 0:21:08.200
<v Speaker 1>millennial mind around this bow, Derek, Now, you're just making

0:21:08.280 --> 0:21:11.240
<v Speaker 1>up names. I give up. Let's reframe this. Who was

0:21:11.280 --> 0:21:14.840
<v Speaker 1>the most beautiful woman today? I don't know. I think

0:21:14.840 --> 0:21:17.280
<v Speaker 1>we have different ideas of beauty. I mean I find

0:21:17.359 --> 0:21:23.760
<v Speaker 1>Ruth pader Ginsburg to be beautiful. Boy. Okay, forget the analogy.

0:21:23.800 --> 0:21:28.280
<v Speaker 1>Into this land of pleasure and decadence walks the lovely Cleopatra,

0:21:28.440 --> 0:21:31.240
<v Speaker 1>looking like Barbara Eden from I Dream of Genie. I

0:21:31.280 --> 0:21:34.080
<v Speaker 1>don't know who that is anyway. This beautiful woman, who

0:21:34.359 --> 0:21:39.600
<v Speaker 1>apparently looks like no one that Carolina can recognize, even

0:21:39.640 --> 0:21:45.680
<v Speaker 1>though I gave her fifty prominent examples that any Tom

0:21:45.720 --> 0:21:50.080
<v Speaker 1>Dicker Harry could name, comes over to Julius Caesar's house

0:21:50.119 --> 0:21:53.040
<v Speaker 1>in Rome just the biggest, baddest ruler of all time,

0:21:53.600 --> 0:21:56.600
<v Speaker 1>seduces him, has some children, and then heads home on

0:21:56.640 --> 0:21:59.600
<v Speaker 1>a party boat. Cut to a few years later. Now

0:21:59.640 --> 0:22:02.320
<v Speaker 1>there's an new guy in room named Mark Anthony who

0:22:02.320 --> 0:22:05.200
<v Speaker 1>looked like Victor Mature without his shirt on. Who's that?

0:22:05.440 --> 0:22:07.680
<v Speaker 1>Just some guy? Forget I said it. He goes to

0:22:07.800 --> 0:22:10.960
<v Speaker 1>visit Cleopatra up the Nile, and guess what, he seduces him.

0:22:11.080 --> 0:22:13.639
<v Speaker 1>They have a couple of kids. So now you see,

0:22:13.880 --> 0:22:15.280
<v Speaker 1>you see why I want to meet up with her.

0:22:16.000 --> 0:22:19.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. It's simple. Do I Ron Burgundy have

0:22:19.640 --> 0:22:22.639
<v Speaker 1>the power to resist the greatest temptress in the history

0:22:22.640 --> 0:22:27.000
<v Speaker 1>of mankind? Probably not, but I just gotta find out.

0:22:28.240 --> 0:22:32.080
<v Speaker 1>It's ah, it's time for another ad break. We'll be

0:22:32.160 --> 0:22:35.440
<v Speaker 1>right back. You're just not gonna believe who rounds out

0:22:35.520 --> 0:22:38.040
<v Speaker 1>my list on the people I would love to meet

0:22:38.160 --> 0:22:53.439
<v Speaker 1>in Heaven more after this. Alright, we're back to the

0:22:53.480 --> 0:22:58.200
<v Speaker 1>Ron Burgundy Podcast. Thank you for your listenership. And uh, Carolina,

0:22:58.320 --> 0:23:02.840
<v Speaker 1>I think you're really been enjoying my list of the

0:23:02.880 --> 0:23:04.640
<v Speaker 1>people I'd like to meet in Heaven. I can tell

0:23:04.680 --> 0:23:06.439
<v Speaker 1>by the smile on your face. I mean, it's just

0:23:06.520 --> 0:23:10.600
<v Speaker 1>another day at work. I'm I'm just doing my job. Good. Great,

0:23:11.320 --> 0:23:15.840
<v Speaker 1>it's great. It's great to have a job, isn't it, Carolina? Yes? Yes,

0:23:16.359 --> 0:23:19.200
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god? So where were we? Oh? Yeah, I'd

0:23:19.200 --> 0:23:22.160
<v Speaker 1>like to sit down and meet Lassie, last the dog.

0:23:22.560 --> 0:23:24.800
<v Speaker 1>That's right, Lastie, the Collie dog. Of all the great

0:23:24.840 --> 0:23:26.560
<v Speaker 1>animals that have passed away and gone to heaven, I

0:23:26.600 --> 0:23:29.080
<v Speaker 1>think Lastie would be the most interesting to meet. Sure,

0:23:29.080 --> 0:23:31.359
<v Speaker 1>Flipper the dolphin or Babe the pig come to mind,

0:23:31.400 --> 0:23:33.800
<v Speaker 1>But if I see them in a coffee shop up there,

0:23:33.800 --> 0:23:36.040
<v Speaker 1>I will no doubt say hello. But Lassie is the

0:23:36.119 --> 0:23:38.240
<v Speaker 1>lady I want to talk to you. Do you think

0:23:38.240 --> 0:23:41.399
<v Speaker 1>you'll be able to communicate with animals in heaven? Why not?

0:23:41.560 --> 0:23:43.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean I talked to you know, my dog Baxter

0:23:43.880 --> 0:23:46.720
<v Speaker 1>every day, and he talks back to me quite often

0:23:46.760 --> 0:23:50.920
<v Speaker 1>in a very dismissive tone. Baxter is a cantankerous little

0:23:51.000 --> 0:23:53.160
<v Speaker 1>rascal sometimes who can dish it out just as much

0:23:53.160 --> 0:23:57.240
<v Speaker 1>as he can take it. He could be a real Now, Lastie,

0:23:57.320 --> 0:24:01.000
<v Speaker 1>that's a classy lady. She's she saved lives, stopped criminals,

0:24:01.480 --> 0:24:04.880
<v Speaker 1>started her own TV show, What a guest she would

0:24:04.920 --> 0:24:07.879
<v Speaker 1>be on the Ron Burgundy Podcast in Heaven. You do

0:24:08.000 --> 0:24:10.800
<v Speaker 1>know that over the years there were probably multiple last

0:24:10.800 --> 0:24:13.200
<v Speaker 1>Sees that played the part of Lassie, like they all

0:24:13.240 --> 0:24:16.520
<v Speaker 1>had different names and different trainers. Probably you can be

0:24:16.560 --> 0:24:21.960
<v Speaker 1>a real pill sometimes. Well, next William Shakespeare, the writer,

0:24:22.400 --> 0:24:26.560
<v Speaker 1>is there another William Shakespeare? Well, I don't know if

0:24:26.720 --> 0:24:29.040
<v Speaker 1>if you knew that William Shakespeare was a writer. No,

0:24:29.200 --> 0:24:32.000
<v Speaker 1>most people know that. Well you never heard of Dorothy Lamore,

0:24:32.080 --> 0:24:34.119
<v Speaker 1>so I figured maybe there was a gas leak or something,

0:24:34.200 --> 0:24:37.040
<v Speaker 1>or you couldn't remember stuff. I know who William Shakespeare

0:24:37.080 --> 0:24:39.280
<v Speaker 1>is good. He's one of the ten people that I'd

0:24:39.320 --> 0:24:42.760
<v Speaker 1>like to meet in Heaven. That's the theme of today's show.

0:24:42.840 --> 0:24:46.359
<v Speaker 1>As as you know, I'm also a writer, mainly letters

0:24:46.440 --> 0:24:49.040
<v Speaker 1>to food companies and airlines, but I also have written

0:24:49.119 --> 0:24:53.119
<v Speaker 1>eight unpublished novels and two books of poetry, a self

0:24:53.160 --> 0:24:56.000
<v Speaker 1>help book, a total fitness book, a book about ghosts,

0:24:56.280 --> 0:24:59.239
<v Speaker 1>and I'm working on a history of all mankind. So

0:24:59.280 --> 0:25:01.960
<v Speaker 1>as a writer, I think it would be very interesting

0:25:02.000 --> 0:25:04.960
<v Speaker 1>to get into the mind of this guy Shakespeare, writer

0:25:05.119 --> 0:25:09.280
<v Speaker 1>to writer. How does he work, what's his process? And

0:25:09.280 --> 0:25:11.640
<v Speaker 1>when starting a novel does he like to work off

0:25:11.640 --> 0:25:15.040
<v Speaker 1>an outline? That kind of stuff? He wrote plays in poetry,

0:25:15.080 --> 0:25:19.680
<v Speaker 1>didn't he didn't write any novels. Okay, miss college graduate,

0:25:20.359 --> 0:25:23.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure he wrote some novels. They probably just weren't

0:25:23.160 --> 0:25:25.800
<v Speaker 1>published at the time. Hamlet was a novel. The Hamlet

0:25:25.880 --> 0:25:28.640
<v Speaker 1>is a play. I'll be checking that on Google later.

0:25:29.000 --> 0:25:31.480
<v Speaker 1>People throw facts around these days like they know stuff,

0:25:31.520 --> 0:25:34.679
<v Speaker 1>but you can't escape the Google anyway. My point is,

0:25:34.720 --> 0:25:37.000
<v Speaker 1>if I could sit down with this guy Shakespeare, I

0:25:37.040 --> 0:25:40.119
<v Speaker 1>could really figure out what makes him tick and not

0:25:40.200 --> 0:25:42.199
<v Speaker 1>to toot my own horn, but I can imagine he

0:25:42.240 --> 0:25:45.120
<v Speaker 1>would want to know my process as well. For instance,

0:25:45.320 --> 0:25:47.399
<v Speaker 1>I talked into a tape recorder when I feel a

0:25:47.480 --> 0:25:50.560
<v Speaker 1>novel coming on, I can talk out a whole novel

0:25:50.640 --> 0:25:53.720
<v Speaker 1>on a regular Sunday drive. Then I have someone type

0:25:53.720 --> 0:25:58.359
<v Speaker 1>it up and viola, I'm done. One complete novel. But

0:25:58.680 --> 0:26:02.520
<v Speaker 1>I bet Shakespeare wishes he could have done that. Huh

0:26:02.680 --> 0:26:05.320
<v Speaker 1>do you think? I don't know? Well, anyway, Shakespeare and

0:26:05.320 --> 0:26:07.360
<v Speaker 1>I probably have a ton of common, so I bet

0:26:07.359 --> 0:26:09.800
<v Speaker 1>we could be pals in heaven. That's eight people, and

0:26:09.920 --> 0:26:12.920
<v Speaker 1>you have two more. Here's someone I would love to meeting.

0:26:12.920 --> 0:26:14.920
<v Speaker 1>And I don't care, Lota, you're a big fan of two?

0:26:16.200 --> 0:26:22.240
<v Speaker 1>Mr Evil Knevil? Yes, what is the interest there? Well?

0:26:22.520 --> 0:26:25.399
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that guy just played by his own rules.

0:26:25.600 --> 0:26:29.280
<v Speaker 1>You know, he just said, Hey, you don't think I

0:26:29.320 --> 0:26:37.240
<v Speaker 1>can jump twenty one British double decker busses at Wimbley Stadium.

0:26:37.440 --> 0:26:40.520
<v Speaker 1>Let me show you which, by the way, he clipped

0:26:40.600 --> 0:26:44.680
<v Speaker 1>the last bus and wiped out horribly. But my point

0:26:44.800 --> 0:26:50.880
<v Speaker 1>is the pageantry, the flare, the capes, just the moxie. Yeah,

0:26:51.280 --> 0:26:54.399
<v Speaker 1>he sounded like from what I've read about him, that

0:26:54.480 --> 0:26:58.840
<v Speaker 1>he really struggle with alcoholism and openly cheated on his wife.

0:26:59.119 --> 0:27:01.480
<v Speaker 1>And you know a lot of the stunts he pulled.

0:27:01.520 --> 0:27:03.639
<v Speaker 1>He knew he would get an audience just because he

0:27:03.680 --> 0:27:07.240
<v Speaker 1>would fail and injure himself. Then wouldn't that be fascinating

0:27:07.280 --> 0:27:12.720
<v Speaker 1>to talk to him face to face? Um? Yeah, okay, okay,

0:27:13.040 --> 0:27:15.439
<v Speaker 1>And what I love too. Is that he that was

0:27:15.480 --> 0:27:18.200
<v Speaker 1>his birth name and he turned it into a positive.

0:27:18.840 --> 0:27:22.240
<v Speaker 1>Someone named him Evil Knevil. Clarence and Marcia kne Evil

0:27:22.640 --> 0:27:27.760
<v Speaker 1>named their son Evil, and he said, I'm gonna turn

0:27:27.840 --> 0:27:30.639
<v Speaker 1>this into a positive and make some sense out of

0:27:30.640 --> 0:27:35.240
<v Speaker 1>this name. So crazy, Clarence and Marcia just couldn't help themselves.

0:27:35.280 --> 0:27:39.600
<v Speaker 1>I bet you he had few regrets. I actually think

0:27:39.640 --> 0:27:42.200
<v Speaker 1>he may have had many, and that's something you could

0:27:42.200 --> 0:27:45.200
<v Speaker 1>talk to about. Yeah, I just feel like I'm gonna

0:27:45.240 --> 0:27:50.040
<v Speaker 1>want to meet different people, and so you can meet him,

0:27:50.119 --> 0:27:55.760
<v Speaker 1>and I will talk to Winston Churchill. I just I

0:27:55.800 --> 0:27:58.679
<v Speaker 1>feel like we might be in different crowds. Okay, but

0:27:59.080 --> 0:28:03.160
<v Speaker 1>don't call me on my heaven cell phone when you're

0:28:03.200 --> 0:28:05.800
<v Speaker 1>hearing you know how great my dinner parties are going

0:28:05.800 --> 0:28:11.159
<v Speaker 1>compared to yours. Okay, I won't. I will call you

0:28:11.240 --> 0:28:14.160
<v Speaker 1>on your heaven cell phone when I want to talk,

0:28:14.200 --> 0:28:19.080
<v Speaker 1>but we'll have separate parties. Fine. Fine, And I have

0:28:19.160 --> 0:28:24.520
<v Speaker 1>a feeling you're going to regret that statement. I hope,

0:28:24.560 --> 0:28:28.200
<v Speaker 1>I hope. I don't. In fact, I don't know if

0:28:28.200 --> 0:28:30.320
<v Speaker 1>I want you at some of my parties in heaven.

0:28:32.080 --> 0:28:34.399
<v Speaker 1>So I'm already not invited but what if I'm in

0:28:34.440 --> 0:28:37.959
<v Speaker 1>the neighborhood. What if I make a wrong turn and

0:28:38.040 --> 0:28:40.800
<v Speaker 1>I end up in your cul de sect? Just respect

0:28:40.920 --> 0:28:44.840
<v Speaker 1>that I might want privacy. You know, Heaven's golf course living.

0:28:44.960 --> 0:28:49.240
<v Speaker 1>It's a resort style living, right, My heaven might be different,

0:28:49.320 --> 0:28:55.000
<v Speaker 1>but sure, we don't have a choice. Okay, I just

0:28:55.080 --> 0:28:56.880
<v Speaker 1>find it sad that my heaven I'll be living on

0:28:56.920 --> 0:29:03.560
<v Speaker 1>a golf course. Most theologians concur that a rough guideline

0:29:03.560 --> 0:29:06.120
<v Speaker 1>of what heaven is going to look like. Now, I've

0:29:06.160 --> 0:29:09.560
<v Speaker 1>never been to this place myself personally. I've seen photos

0:29:10.000 --> 0:29:13.600
<v Speaker 1>and it looks marvelous, but a rough template of what

0:29:13.640 --> 0:29:19.040
<v Speaker 1>heaven is going to look like mar lago. I I

0:29:19.080 --> 0:29:26.800
<v Speaker 1>truly think that might be how coral colored Italian villas, stucco,

0:29:27.600 --> 0:29:35.960
<v Speaker 1>beautiful sculptures, fountains, marble for days, and golf, a lot

0:29:36.000 --> 0:29:41.240
<v Speaker 1>of green pillars, a lot of faux antiquities. And that's

0:29:41.800 --> 0:29:44.880
<v Speaker 1>that's what is in store. I just feel like heavens

0:29:44.880 --> 0:29:48.560
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more like a Raphallian painting. You know,

0:29:48.880 --> 0:29:54.040
<v Speaker 1>maybe um, some nymphs, maybe some centaurs who are kept

0:29:54.040 --> 0:29:57.360
<v Speaker 1>in a zoo. No, you go, you can go visit

0:29:57.400 --> 0:29:59.680
<v Speaker 1>the nymphs. And the centers at the zoo, the Heaven Zoo.

0:29:59.720 --> 0:30:02.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't one zoos. In Heaven. Everyone gets their own

0:30:02.800 --> 0:30:05.920
<v Speaker 1>golf cart. Did you know that? No? I didn't. They

0:30:05.960 --> 0:30:13.040
<v Speaker 1>do absolutely. Can you remember the joy and the thrill

0:30:13.400 --> 0:30:15.160
<v Speaker 1>of the first time you got to drive in a

0:30:15.160 --> 0:30:20.200
<v Speaker 1>golf cart as a little kid? Pretty fun? Yeah, So

0:30:20.440 --> 0:30:23.000
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna have your own personalized golf cart. You don't

0:30:23.000 --> 0:30:26.360
<v Speaker 1>have to recharge it. It's Heaven. It's an endless power

0:30:26.400 --> 0:30:30.240
<v Speaker 1>supply and you're just gonna cruise around and you know,

0:30:31.400 --> 0:30:35.040
<v Speaker 1>have breakfast at ten in the morning, leisurely breakfast, play

0:30:35.040 --> 0:30:38.720
<v Speaker 1>a few rounds of golf, grab a grab a soak,

0:30:39.000 --> 0:30:45.080
<v Speaker 1>a sauna or a hot tub, lunch, cocktails at three,

0:30:47.280 --> 0:30:52.400
<v Speaker 1>fish dinner at six in bed by eight forever, fish

0:30:54.400 --> 0:30:58.440
<v Speaker 1>dinner at six, or you can order the tenderline. So

0:30:58.920 --> 0:31:02.960
<v Speaker 1>that's that's roughly what it's going to be like. I

0:31:03.000 --> 0:31:05.800
<v Speaker 1>just wish there are more options. I guess, well, it's

0:31:05.880 --> 0:31:11.400
<v Speaker 1>tough when you're only option is high level luxury. So

0:31:12.760 --> 0:31:15.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, is there any how do you go up

0:31:15.120 --> 0:31:22.760
<v Speaker 1>from there? Oh? I feel like after infinity, tenderloins or fish,

0:31:22.960 --> 0:31:26.200
<v Speaker 1>I would start to hate Heaven. But do you like

0:31:26.280 --> 0:31:30.520
<v Speaker 1>infinity pools, because there will be one infinity pool in

0:31:30.560 --> 0:31:35.000
<v Speaker 1>the center of the property that no joke goes on

0:31:35.120 --> 0:31:39.240
<v Speaker 1>for infinity. Oh, that's an existential crisis. In fact, you

0:31:39.280 --> 0:31:41.080
<v Speaker 1>have to be careful because you don't figure out where

0:31:41.080 --> 0:31:43.600
<v Speaker 1>the entrance point of the pool is. You'll just you'll

0:31:43.640 --> 0:31:46.640
<v Speaker 1>go forever. Yeah, you may start back up again, may

0:31:46.640 --> 0:31:52.200
<v Speaker 1>start exactly. Um, but that's a brief that's a brief

0:31:52.240 --> 0:31:58.920
<v Speaker 1>sketch of what the cozy confines of heaven. Eleven o'clock

0:31:58.960 --> 0:32:01.080
<v Speaker 1>cur for you. By the way, what do the guys

0:32:01.120 --> 0:32:08.040
<v Speaker 1>wear there? Golf attire? Slacks, um golf shirts. You can

0:32:08.080 --> 0:32:09.640
<v Speaker 1>wear shorts, but you gotta make sure you tuck your

0:32:09.640 --> 0:32:12.600
<v Speaker 1>shirt in. I don't look good in that outfit. By

0:32:12.600 --> 0:32:17.520
<v Speaker 1>the way, women preferably skirts. You can wear pants with pleats,

0:32:18.200 --> 0:32:22.880
<v Speaker 1>you have to be pleaded, but comfortable golf attire. Yeah,

0:32:22.920 --> 0:32:25.440
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be hard. So it's good. It sounds great.

0:32:25.960 --> 0:32:28.800
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I might be single in heaven. And

0:32:29.000 --> 0:32:32.680
<v Speaker 1>speaking of heaven, will round up our list the number

0:32:32.680 --> 0:32:37.080
<v Speaker 1>one person I'd like to meet, Yes, drum roll please,

0:32:39.800 --> 0:32:44.520
<v Speaker 1>Jesus Christ. Not not a I know that's day one stuff.

0:32:44.560 --> 0:32:47.160
<v Speaker 1>But you don't go to the Louver Museum without seeing

0:32:47.200 --> 0:32:49.720
<v Speaker 1>the Mona Lisa. You don't go to New York without

0:32:49.760 --> 0:32:51.760
<v Speaker 1>climbing to the top of the christ they're building, and

0:32:51.800 --> 0:32:55.680
<v Speaker 1>you don't go to Heaven without seeing the man. Just

0:32:55.720 --> 0:32:59.280
<v Speaker 1>be interesting to sit down with that cat. Would you

0:32:59.280 --> 0:33:03.280
<v Speaker 1>ask for a picture, of course? Yeah, well there's going

0:33:03.360 --> 0:33:07.360
<v Speaker 1>once again, there's going to be a photographer throughout There

0:33:07.480 --> 0:33:12.840
<v Speaker 1>always be an on set photographer that haven't just and

0:33:12.880 --> 0:33:15.160
<v Speaker 1>he'll be like, can I get you two together? Please

0:33:15.160 --> 0:33:17.080
<v Speaker 1>put your drinks down. They never want you know, they

0:33:17.080 --> 0:33:19.040
<v Speaker 1>don't want you to be photographed with a cocktailer man.

0:33:19.960 --> 0:33:22.400
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, I'll probably I'd probably get a photograph upfront.

0:33:22.640 --> 0:33:26.440
<v Speaker 1>It's like an expensive armitsvah, yeah, that's where the production

0:33:26.520 --> 0:33:30.280
<v Speaker 1>value and uh, and then I would just let's see,

0:33:30.320 --> 0:33:32.920
<v Speaker 1>I'd I'd say, uh, I'd say why did you do it?

0:33:33.720 --> 0:33:35.200
<v Speaker 1>Why did you and your dad come up with the

0:33:35.200 --> 0:33:39.040
<v Speaker 1>whole shebang? That's what I'd ask him. Until then, That's

0:33:39.400 --> 0:33:42.800
<v Speaker 1>that's what we ask ourselves every day. Why the whole shebang?

0:33:43.440 --> 0:33:46.120
<v Speaker 1>Why the reason for any of it? What the hell

0:33:46.240 --> 0:33:49.200
<v Speaker 1>is all the nonsense about? I suspect we would have

0:33:49.240 --> 0:33:51.440
<v Speaker 1>to say something like we're here to love one another.

0:33:52.120 --> 0:33:54.440
<v Speaker 1>It's a shame, really that most of us wait until

0:33:54.560 --> 0:33:56.479
<v Speaker 1>we get to heaven to realize it. But what a

0:33:56.520 --> 0:34:00.600
<v Speaker 1>beautiful shame right in the meantime, Let's keep on deluding ourselves.

0:34:00.600 --> 0:34:04.600
<v Speaker 1>If we we can't love everyone, let's try and stay glassy, folks.
