Speaker 1: Hey, Elliott II Bee, are you excited for today's show
Speaker 1: on Frieda Carlo and Walt Disney? Oh? Definitely two artists.
Speaker 1: One used art to plumb the depths of their very
Speaker 1: soul and the other used it to launch a career
Speaker 1: that became successful enough that they could buy the Star
Speaker 1: Wars franchise. Oh, I didn't know, freed to call? Oh
Speaker 1: bought the Star Wars franchise. No, be, Star Wars is
Speaker 1: part of Disney now. H Well, maybe he should have said,
Speaker 1: when you wish upon a Star Wars, your dreams come true.
Speaker 1: But you know, I think Frieda is ultimately the bigger
Speaker 1: success story here. Her image is known throughout the world
Speaker 1: and she never compromised on her artistic principles. Two very
Speaker 1: different paths, but I guess it goes to show you
Speaker 1: there's no wrong way to be an artist. Who trust me,
Speaker 1: there is, and I've done it. Oh boy, before we
Speaker 1: hear that story, take it away, Eric, what do you
Speaker 1: think you know about this? And broke up because it's
Speaker 1: signed to place the podcast because it's time to live
Speaker 1: from tongue Bland or is so called so Cow Los Angeles?
Speaker 1: Welcome to who was the history quitional? It gives contestants
Speaker 1: the chance to win mega prizes and podcast glory. I
Speaker 1: am b your announcer who always brings her a game.
Speaker 1: And here's your host, the man who stays young at
Speaker 1: heart while the rest of his body rapidly approaches middle age.
Speaker 1: It's Ellie Kaylin. Thank you be for that reminder of
Speaker 1: my age. And thank you to Eric on the ones
Speaker 1: and twos and the threes and the force. There's a
Speaker 1: lot of great numbers there, and Eric is on all
Speaker 1: of them. And welcome everyone to the Who Was Podcast,
Speaker 1: the show that it's kind of like Jeopardy, only with
Speaker 1: surprise guests, silly games, and frankly better outfits. We've got
Speaker 1: some very well dressed contestants today. Now, our contestants were
Speaker 1: sent who Was books about too great figures from history.
Speaker 1: Now they're here to show off their knowledge and the
Speaker 1: hopes of winning fantastic prizes. And I hope that you're
Speaker 1: all ears because today we'll be talking about the man
Speaker 1: who invented mouse ears. Well, Disney, is that why you're
Speaker 1: wearing a Mickey Mouse hat today? No, I was called
Speaker 1: and it's the only clean hat that I own. And
Speaker 1: you may have noticed that I gussied up my unit
Speaker 1: brow in honor of our first famous person, one of
Speaker 1: the most successful painters of all time, creatively, the Mexican
Speaker 1: artist frieda Callo. But before we learn more about her,
Speaker 1: let's meet our contestants. Yes, first up, let's meet Watkins. Hello,
Speaker 1: I am Watkins, and from fact about myself as I've
Speaker 1: memorized the entire Hamilton's soundtrack. What was it about the
Speaker 1: Hamilton's soundtrack that said to you, Watkins, memorize me right now. Well,
Speaker 1: because it involves rapping a very famous potion. And Len Manuel,
Speaker 1: who I really like him. And next up we have Louisa. Louisa,
Speaker 1: please introduce yourself and give us a fun fact. I'm
Speaker 1: Luisa and I've tried to French horn. It's a really
Speaker 1: cool instrument and it's fun to play. Yes, and I
Speaker 1: also had it's very difficult to play. So I bet
Speaker 1: Louisa is a great musician. We've got two very talented
Speaker 1: contestants today. So that's who is. Let's find out who
Speaker 1: was frieda Callo with four fast facts. Prospects one of
Speaker 1: the most important painters of the twentieth century, overcape injuries
Speaker 1: and childhood illness, and used both as subjects in her
Speaker 1: art created dreamlike images in a realistic style. The first
Speaker 1: twentieth century Mexican artists to be featured in the Louver
Speaker 1: Museum in France Prospects. A painting of Frieda Colle is
Speaker 1: just sold for a record thirty four point nine million
Speaker 1: dollars at auction. Yes, I mean by my spreadsheet that
Speaker 1: I'm always keeping of art auctions and whatnot. That smashes
Speaker 1: the previous record held by a Latin American artist, Frieda's husband,
Speaker 1: the painter Diego Rivera Oo Drama. Though Diego and Frieda
Speaker 1: were known for their explosive relationship, so it fits. In fact,
Speaker 1: the gossip columns at the time referred to them as
Speaker 1: free Ago. Okay, that's not true, but it's But I
Speaker 1: think Freego is a really cool name if you're looking
Speaker 1: to name something, Uh, Louisa, is there anything you'd like
Speaker 1: to name free Ago? Yeah? Like, maybe if you had
Speaker 1: a pet, what kind of pet would you name free Ago?
Speaker 1: Like a bird? Oh? I like that. I could see
Speaker 1: a parrot being named Freego, or a budgee or a parakeet. Yeah,
Speaker 1: some kind of small bird or an ostrich, a large bird,
Speaker 1: an ostrich named Freego maybe it lives in your backyard.
Speaker 1: I don't know. And Watkins, let's say you are going
Speaker 1: to name something free Ago. Would it be an animal
Speaker 1: or perhaps a new way to cook French fries? I
Speaker 1: would say if I had to name something Friego, it
Speaker 1: would be a pan that can cook anything. All that's
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not just a great name, it's a
Speaker 1: product that we need right now. So Watkins, get working
Speaker 1: on that. But first, hold on, let's do the show first.
Speaker 1: Let's play the game one thing at a time. In fact,
Speaker 1: let's get to know a little bit more about Frida
Speaker 1: with our first game. That's right, it's true and or false?
Speaker 1: True or false? A false? A false is a true?
Speaker 1: True is false false? That it was true or true?
Speaker 1: True or false? Thank you, Eric. I'm a big fan
Speaker 1: of a true or false song. It's a great song
Speaker 1: for this game. Okay, here are the rules. Our friend
Speaker 1: b you've met her. We'll read a statement you well,
Speaker 1: then let us know if that statement is true or false.
Speaker 1: Take it away. Be thank you, all right, Louisa, this
Speaker 1: first question is for you. True or false. The pop
Speaker 1: singer Pink named herself Pink after she was inspired by
Speaker 1: a visit to Frida Carllo's childhood home, which was painted
Speaker 1: a flamingo shade of pink. Is that statement true or false?
Speaker 1: That's right, it is false. Frida Callo's home in the
Speaker 1: koyak in the neighborhood of Mexico City, which she lived
Speaker 1: most of her life, and was painted blue, not pink.
Speaker 1: It was called Lacasa Azul, which means the blue House.
Speaker 1: Not that imaginative. I would have named the house free
Speaker 1: a go. Next question be okay, Watkins, This question is
Speaker 1: for you. True or false. Before Frieda could speak, she
Speaker 1: indicated that she wanted to be an artist by using
Speaker 1: a paintbrush as a pacifier. False. That's right, it was false.
Speaker 1: Frieda didn't want to be an artist when she was
Speaker 1: a kid. Frida wanted to be a doctor when she
Speaker 1: was younger. Disclaimer this is just for all the parents
Speaker 1: out there. Do not give babies paint brushions. The last
Speaker 1: time that happened, we ended up with the Impressionists, so
Speaker 1: be careful. It's a modern artist every way anyway. Next question,
Speaker 1: be alright, Louisa, This one is for you. True or false.
Speaker 1: Frieda Callo is best known for herself portraits. Is that
Speaker 1: true or false? Louisa, that's true. True, You're right. She
Speaker 1: didn't invent the self portrait, but Freda Carlo took it
Speaker 1: to the next level. Yeah. I like to think that
Speaker 1: Frieda had the original selfie stick, which was her paint brush.
Speaker 1: Very well said her. Portraits like wounded Deer roots or
Speaker 1: self portrait with thorn necklace on hummingbird are masterpieces. And
Speaker 1: that painting we mentioned earlier, estimated at thirty million dollars,
Speaker 1: Diego EO is also a self portrait. We'd show you
Speaker 1: what they look like, but this is a podcast. We
Speaker 1: cannot show you things. There's nothing to look at. Do
Speaker 1: yourself a favor. Google some of those paintings. They're beautiful.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, true, true, true. And that's the end of
Speaker 1: the first game. Oh, this game is amazing. And producer
Speaker 1: Jane will tell you the scores right after this short
Speaker 1: breaking Welcome back to the Who Was? Podcast? Everyone, Jane?
Speaker 1: Are you ready with those scores? Unbolievable? What is has?
Speaker 1: One point? Louisa? I had too. Everybody is doing great though.
Speaker 1: We had no wrong answers in that round, right, Okay,
Speaker 1: so we're gonna have more chances, more questions. It's still
Speaker 1: anybody's game. Well, technically it's Freda Carlo's game. You know.
Speaker 1: It's like fred to Callo once said, you know what,
Speaker 1: you don't need me to tell you what Frida said.
Speaker 1: We've got her here to say it for herself. Thank you,
Speaker 1: Thank you, Elliott. Yes it's me, Freda Carlo. I believe
Speaker 1: the quote you were looking for is nothing is absolute.
Speaker 1: Everything changes, everything moves, everything revolves, everything flies and goes away.
Speaker 1: That was exactly the quote I was thinking of. You
Speaker 1: got it. If you're at home wondering how we got
Speaker 1: in touch with Frieda Callo, well the answer is simple.
Speaker 1: It's all thanks to the who was app? Who was
Speaker 1: you want? Oh? I don't know how it works, and
Speaker 1: I'm not interested in learning. The closest thing we have
Speaker 1: to magic is the who was Up? And I'm so excited,
Speaker 1: or as close to as excited as I can get,
Speaker 1: because I'd like to talk about something I've created specifically
Speaker 1: for kids. Kids. Do you have an artistic soul rambling
Speaker 1: around inside you, but are scared to pursue your passion?
Speaker 1: Let your Tia Frida help you with a Frieda Calo
Speaker 1: Activity book? Did you say the Frieda Calo Activity Book?
Speaker 1: See the Frieda Color Activity Book is a fun picture
Speaker 1: field guide to smashing through self in post barriers on
Speaker 1: the way to living your future. Frida, I'd like to
Speaker 1: be an artist, but art classes are hard. What advice
Speaker 1: do you have for me? Turn to page for Elliott
Speaker 1: turning to the page and it says wow, it says
Speaker 1: I Frieda Calo learned to draw well in a full
Speaker 1: body cast after a trolley tried to kill me. Now
Speaker 1: my painting from in the loop. Don't talk to me
Speaker 1: about hard. And then there's a paint by number of
Speaker 1: an open wound. Thanks Freda, my pleasure. Hey, Frieda, I
Speaker 1: want to be an artist, but what if my family
Speaker 1: won't support my decision? Turn to page seven B. This
Speaker 1: says my husband Diego betrayed me many times and fell
Speaker 1: in love with my sister. Familiar betrayal is a tuesday
Speaker 1: for me. Forget them, get painting. And then there's a
Speaker 1: step by step instruction on how to throw your picture
Speaker 1: with a mirror for the inevitable moment when you end
Speaker 1: up alone. Oh grasses, Frieda Elliott. Okay, okay, it says
Speaker 1: here it is I lived through polio for crying out loud.
Speaker 1: Stop making excuses there's a paper doll skeleton with accessories,
Speaker 1: so it's beautiful. Yes, the Fall activity book for when
Speaker 1: you need a good, sweet kick in the pants to
Speaker 1: remind you to leave your dreaming. Wow. Thank you, Freda.
Speaker 1: That was both enlightening and extremely intimidating. That's my brand, well, Freda,
Speaker 1: thank you so much for joining us and talking to
Speaker 1: our contestoms today. Yes, and thanks again. Who what's up? Ah?
Speaker 1: That was great. I love talking to dead people from
Speaker 1: the past. To who was that button? Now let's get
Speaker 1: to know more about our other who was star of today?
Speaker 1: The man behind the mouse? Eric? Yeah, give us a
Speaker 1: little sleeping beauty. Waltz Music Disney is now one of
Speaker 1: the largest entertainment companies in the world. But once upon
Speaker 1: a time, walt Disney wasn't a company. It was a
Speaker 1: person who was just a rambunctious kid with a knack
Speaker 1: for drawing. His career path was less than magical, Yet
Speaker 1: despite personal and professional setbacks, you brought fresh ideas to cartoons, movies, TV,
Speaker 1: amusement parks, and at all in the end worked out.
Speaker 1: Even if he had that strange signature where the D
Speaker 1: looks like a G, which is a weird way to
Speaker 1: write your name. It really is. Yeah, but it's memorable.
Speaker 1: I guess Watkins, when you think about Disney, what comes
Speaker 1: to your mind? Do you also think his signature looks
Speaker 1: a little weird? What are your thoughts about de pault Disney? Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: I think his signature definitely looks weird. That D definitely
Speaker 1: looks like a G. Thank you. I've been saying it
Speaker 1: for years years. Yeah, I know. And Louisa, Okay, I
Speaker 1: say the name Walt Disney. What is the first thing
Speaker 1: that comes into your mind? Or maybe the second thing
Speaker 1: if you like the second thing more like all the
Speaker 1: Disney movies, like the old movies, like like the Disney
Speaker 1: Princess movies. Are all those other Disney movies? Okay? Now, um,
Speaker 1: this is my question for both of you. Do you
Speaker 1: have a Disney plus log in? And would you share
Speaker 1: the log in with me? Okay, let don't answer that question.
Speaker 1: That's not a question you should answer. Think about it. Okay,
Speaker 1: I see answering that question. Thank you logins. Don't let
Speaker 1: me take advantage of your Yeah, but you could share
Speaker 1: the you you have a job, you can afford Disney.
Speaker 1: Come on, I've got a Netflix that I could trade
Speaker 1: it's it's my grandmother's. But I don't think that shoul
Speaker 1: I think mind it watches just the same. I don't
Speaker 1: share it with with her. You gotta we gotta teach
Speaker 1: her a lesson about about proprietary rights. All right, you guys,
Speaker 1: well we'll talk later. We'll talk later. Well, thank you
Speaker 1: both for sharing those Walt Disney thoughts and also agreeing
Speaker 1: with me about his signature. But now listen up. We've
Speaker 1: got four fast facts about Walt Disney. Pots created and
Speaker 1: gave voice to the beloved cartoon character Mickey Mouse. Groundbreaking
Speaker 1: animator and filmmaker with Academy Awards. He has more oscars
Speaker 1: than anyone else ever, built Disneyland, disney World, and designed
Speaker 1: Epcot pskos. Now, let's get to know even more about
Speaker 1: him with our second game, which is called Walt Did Not.
Speaker 1: Here's how the game's gonna work be. We'll read three
Speaker 1: things that Walt Disney did throughout his life. However, one
Speaker 1: of them is not true. It's like a multiple choice
Speaker 1: type thing. You will have to guess which one of
Speaker 1: the answers is Walt does not true? Take it away
Speaker 1: being okay, Watkins, This first question is for you, which
Speaker 1: one of these answers, is Walt did not? True? As
Speaker 1: a child, Walt Disney dressed up as this A Peter
Speaker 1: Pan B. Taylor Swift. See Abraham Lincoln, Um, what's your name?
Speaker 1: The nimble B. You're right, B. Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift,
Speaker 1: of course, the famous pop star whose name sounds like
Speaker 1: a president from the nineteenth century. When what was a kid,
Speaker 1: he dressed up as Abraham Lincoln and recited the Gettysburg
Speaker 1: Address for his school, and he was also Peter Pan
Speaker 1: in a school of play. It just goes to show
Speaker 1: the silly stuff that you do as a kid that
Speaker 1: could become your job. I know it is mine, and
Speaker 1: I love it because when I was a kid, I
Speaker 1: said jokes that people do and always like next question B.
Speaker 1: And so much has changed since then. All right, Louisa,
Speaker 1: this one is for you. Which one of these is
Speaker 1: did not? An original cartoon character by Walt Disney A
Speaker 1: Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, be Leonard the Frightened Lion, or
Speaker 1: see Mickey Mouse Leonard the Frightened I forget his name.
Speaker 1: If you don't even need to know the rest, because
Speaker 1: you got it right, that's all right. No reason to remembered,
Speaker 1: It's not true. The answer is be Leonard the Frightened Lion.
Speaker 1: Everyone knows Mickey Mouse, but before Mickey, Walt and his
Speaker 1: partner of Eye Works. Also the great name of a
Speaker 1: cartoon character if you want created Oswald the Lucky Rabbit.
Speaker 1: So next of I mean, next up is a question
Speaker 1: for Watkins. All right, Watkins? Which one of these was
Speaker 1: did not inspiration for Disneyland, the theme park Walt Disney
Speaker 1: opened in California in a the carousel at Griffith Park,
Speaker 1: where he took his daughter's b Walt's personal collection of trains,
Speaker 1: or see the jungle cruise he and his wife Lillian
Speaker 1: took on their honeymoon, Which one of those answers is
Speaker 1: did not true the quiz the jungle cruise. Yeah, you're right,
Speaker 1: that was the correct answer. See maybe they took a cruise.
Speaker 1: I don't know. It didn't inspire anything Walt and his wife,
Speaker 1: they didn't have based anything on their honeymoon. Instead, he
Speaker 1: cites the carouselic Griffith Park as the inspiration for building
Speaker 1: a place where families could spend quality time together. And yes,
Speaker 1: he did have a train in his backyard that you
Speaker 1: could ride around that's true, Jane said, yeah, human sized
Speaker 1: train set. Amazing. And that's the end of that game. Jane, Jane,
Speaker 1: what's the score? You won't believe this, Elliott. It is
Speaker 1: tied at three? Al right at three? Ch okay Watkins Louisa.
Speaker 1: This is a tight game. Everything is on the line.
Speaker 1: But let me just say that I feel like Disney
Speaker 1: and fred to Carlo were both incredibly interesting artists. But
Speaker 1: what else do they have in common? Elliott? We'll find
Speaker 1: out after the break? Play us out, Eric, Hey, who
Speaker 1: was hers? I want to share a fun fact we missed.
Speaker 1: Tell us who to call on the Who Was? App?
Speaker 1: Maybe tell us what you think? Abraham Lincoln smelled like
Speaker 1: what I'm trying to say is we want to hear
Speaker 1: from you, So send us an email or voice memo
Speaker 1: at the Who Was Podcast at gmail dot com. Welcome
Speaker 1: back to the Who Was Podcast. When we left off,
Speaker 1: our two contestants, Watkins and Louisa were tied. Wonderful, amazing.
Speaker 1: But there's more to our contestants than just these scores.
Speaker 1: Before we head into our next round, I figured let's
Speaker 1: take a moment to learn a little more about Watkins
Speaker 1: and Louisa. So freed to Hollow's signature look was to
Speaker 1: wear flowers in her hair as a nod to her
Speaker 1: Mexican heritage. Do you have a signature look? Where are
Speaker 1: you working on them? Louisa? What would be your signature look?
Speaker 1: What's your iconic signature look? My hair? I guess like
Speaker 1: might I always keep my hair down most of the
Speaker 1: good time? You keep your hair down most this y
Speaker 1: it looks fantastic, very healthy and conditioned, gorgeous. You could
Speaker 1: be in a shampoo commercial right now. Absolutely, now, Watkins,
Speaker 1: you are already very snappily dressed. You're wearing a suit
Speaker 1: for us now. But what's your signature look? Is that
Speaker 1: it kind of like a men's business casual wear or
Speaker 1: something else? Um No, not usually. Usually a signature look
Speaker 1: is BedHead. I mean I usually have BedHead, so also
Speaker 1: hair related, all right? I like it sort of the
Speaker 1: opposite of Louise's answer, yeah, and and sort of opposite
Speaker 1: of your look today. I must say you look like
Speaker 1: the youngest Brooks brother right now. Thanks. Okay, Now it's
Speaker 1: on to our next and final game. This one is
Speaker 1: called sound effect Safari fect Stufari sound effects. To the foger,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of sounds, and there's gonna be even
Speaker 1: more after that. In this game, we're gonna play a
Speaker 1: sound effect inspired by something important from the life of
Speaker 1: either Walt Disney or Frieda Carlo. You, our contestants, will
Speaker 1: tell us what the sound is and whose life it
Speaker 1: comes from, and if you want to give us an explanation,
Speaker 1: that's great. Don't feel like you have to, but that
Speaker 1: would be great. So Louisa, you are up first. Let's
Speaker 1: hear the first sound for Louisa. Lisa, do you know
Speaker 1: what that is? What does that sound? You want to
Speaker 1: hear it one more time? Okay, one more time. It's
Speaker 1: an ambulance, It's great. And whose life was related to ambulances?
Speaker 1: Freda Cola. That's right, you got it, Frida Colo. She
Speaker 1: was often in the hospital, most notably after that trolley
Speaker 1: accident we were talking about, but her spirit was unbreakable
Speaker 1: and she found a way to keep painting. That was great. Okay, Watkins.
Speaker 1: This next sound effect is for you. Let us know
Speaker 1: what is the sound and whose life is it related to.
Speaker 1: Do you feel like you know what it is? Do
Speaker 1: you want to hear it again? Yeah? One more time? Okay?
Speaker 1: Is that the sound of Dumbo? You know what, I'll
Speaker 1: take it. That's good. Yes, that was an elephant sound?
Speaker 1: And who would Umbo be related to? What Didney? That's right,
Speaker 1: Realt Disney's film Dumbo, which was about an elephant. Although
Speaker 1: to be honest, that was a little bit of trick.
Speaker 1: We also could have accepted free to Callo because her husband,
Speaker 1: Diego Rivera was nicknamed the elephant. They were called the
Speaker 1: elephant and the dove. Free ago next sound, but we
Speaker 1: would have accepted either. It was, but that was great.
Speaker 1: The next sound is for Louisa. Let's hear that sound. Okay?
Speaker 1: Can you identify that sound and who it might be
Speaker 1: related to? Let us know if you need to hear
Speaker 1: it again. I think I need to hear it again.
Speaker 1: O here a second time. Any ideas? Feel free to
Speaker 1: guess if you're if you're having trouble, I don't know
Speaker 1: what it is. You don't know what it is? Okay?
Speaker 1: All right? Oh? Is like a heartbeat? That's right, it's
Speaker 1: a heartbeat. And who do you think would be related
Speaker 1: to heartbeats? I mean, everybody has a has a heart,
Speaker 1: but in this case there are a bunch of hearts.
Speaker 1: And free to colors paintings, So I think it's from her. Yes,
Speaker 1: exactly right, Yes, so free to callos. Art often includes hearts,
Speaker 1: like real, realistic looking hearts outside of her body. They
Speaker 1: represent her connection with her emotional life and also how
Speaker 1: important it is to keep your heart inside your body.
Speaker 1: It's better there inside. Yeah. The last sound effect is
Speaker 1: for Watkins. Watkins, you have one more sound effect to hear.
Speaker 1: Get ready, get those ears open and let's hear that
Speaker 1: sound effect. Okay, what is that sound? And whose life
Speaker 1: is it connected to the train? What Disney's life? Yes,
Speaker 1: a brain And as we know, Walt Disney had a
Speaker 1: love of trains. There's trains all over his work, in
Speaker 1: his house at Disneyland. Can't get enough of trains. He
Speaker 1: loves trains. He's always about trains. Every time I talk
Speaker 1: to him, he's like, trains, trains, trains, And I'm like, well, Disney,
Speaker 1: enough with the trains. Yeah, trains, train. Oh, you can't
Speaker 1: get enough of those trains. That's right, He's on the
Speaker 1: train train, that's for sure. Well you both did great.
Speaker 1: That was sound effect Safari. I just want to make
Speaker 1: sure everyone knows all those sounds were done by our
Speaker 1: own eric musician extraordinaire and sound effect master weird. How
Speaker 1: did you do those sounds? How did you make up happen?
Speaker 1: Believe it or not? I made him all up with
Speaker 1: my mouth. We'll have Jane tally the scores and announced
Speaker 1: the winner in just a moment. You could cut the
Speaker 1: tension with a knife right now, or you could paint
Speaker 1: a knife in a room representing tension like Frieda would. Now.
Speaker 1: This has been a great show. You've been great contestants,
Speaker 1: Louisa and Watkins. I have a question for you that's
Speaker 1: not a quiz question, It's just a question question. Before
Speaker 1: we find out who won today's game. Is there something
Speaker 1: that you thought was really really cool and really exciting
Speaker 1: about our historical figures today that you wanted to share
Speaker 1: that we didn't get to talk about. Watkins, who would
Speaker 1: you want to talk about and is there something really
Speaker 1: cool you want to share about them? Yeah? I want
Speaker 1: to talk about um what Disney and something really cool
Speaker 1: that I thought It was really cool about him that
Speaker 1: like he tried to start businesses. He had a lot
Speaker 1: of moves, which was probably tough, and at some points
Speaker 1: he used down the dumps, but he rose from one
Speaker 1: of the lowest points to one of the highest points Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's amazing, isn't it? Isn't it inspiring? Uh? And Louisa,
Speaker 1: is there someone that you wanted to say something about? Also,
Speaker 1: who would you like to talk about? I think I'd
Speaker 1: like to talk about free to call. Oh, that would
Speaker 1: be great. What's what's the coolest thing about or what's
Speaker 1: something cool? Doesn't that be the coolest thing? But something
Speaker 1: that stuck out to you that she, like, I was
Speaker 1: able to paint even though she was like in the
Speaker 1: hospital for a long time and had a bunch of injuries.
Speaker 1: And signify, Yeah, Art finds a way. Oh sorry, I
Speaker 1: mean that about Art, but also my uncle Art, who
Speaker 1: always seems to get lost and then you know, shows
Speaker 1: up twenty minutes late, but but he gets there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he finds. So it's not always the best way to
Speaker 1: get there, but he finds. Oh wow, you guys, thank
