1
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:08,320
Speaker 1: And your name a Morocco. Rocca. Morocco is the country. Okay,

2
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:12,719
Speaker 1: I'm mo Rocca, and I've got a brand new podcast.

3
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 1: It's all about the people who have long fascinated me.

4
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 1: The one thing they've got in common, they're all dead.

5
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 1: The name of my brand new podcast, Mobituaries. This first season,

6
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 1: we've cast a wide net from the twentieth century's greatest entertainer,

7
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: easily the greatest. He had it all. He was everything.

8
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: I mean, he could play any instrument, he could sing,

9
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 1: he could dance like a maniac. So you were blobbs, Yeah,

10
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 1: what was that like? It was fabulous. He's as talented

11
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 1: in that area as he wasn't as he was otherwise.

12
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: To the founding Father, who just doesn't seem to get

13
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: much respect, this guy did everything wrong, said, there's no statue,

14
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: there's no signature on the Declaration of Independence. All his

15
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:15,559
Speaker 1: pr instincts were bad instincts, okay from sitcom characters gone

16
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 1: too soon. They had to kill her instantly, instantly. They

17
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 1: did not have room in the writing for the older brother,

18
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: because the fawns became the older brother to our cave

19
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: dwelling human ancestors. If they had told me only how

20
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: much Neanderthal I am. I would have paid twice the

21
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 1: amount for the test. You'll learn new things about people

22
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 1: you thought you knew. Were you aware that the day

23
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: of your inauguration, Audrey Hepburn died. No, you didn't know that. No,

24
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: you'll learn about people you've never heard of. She's really

25
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: the Rosa Parks of New York. Most New Yorkers, most Americans,

26
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: have no idea. How much does this historical amnesia bother you?

27
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: I mean, it's infuriating, it's absolutely infuriating. Oh, by the way,

28
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: some of the people aren't people at all. We've got

29
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:12,679
Speaker 1: the majestic trees that do no harm to anyone, and

30
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: someone has chosen to harm them. It makes no sense

31
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 1: to me. So join me this premier season of Mobituaries.

32
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: Ye know what, I'm telling you, my whole life story.

33
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: Anything you're doing, it's a podcast that's even worse.
