1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,840
I don't know.

2
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:01,800
That's good too.

3
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:02,640
Thank you.

4
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:05,520
Then I'm going to say hello.

5
00:00:05,520 --> 00:00:06,520
Hello.

6
00:00:06,520 --> 00:00:08,520
I actually wear in a different setup

7
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:10,120
and it does sound better, doesn't it?

8
00:00:10,120 --> 00:00:12,280
It does, and it feels more natural

9
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:14,880
to just be across the table looking at you

10
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:16,920
than weirdly turning my head

11
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,000
and staring directly into your eyes.

12
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,160
You're like, what?

13
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:22,480
Okay, hello.

14
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:23,480
Hello.

15
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:24,760
Hello, how are you?

16
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,040
I'm good, how are you?

17
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:28,040
Good.

18
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:29,360
But also, hello.

19
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:30,440
I'm Drew.

20
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:32,040
And I'm Olivia.

21
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:36,920
And if I know us, then we are-

22
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:37,760
Oddly curious.

23
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:39,120
Oddly curious.

24
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:39,960
And we are.

25
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:41,160
And we are, because you know us.

26
00:00:41,160 --> 00:00:42,160
Yeah, and welcome.

27
00:00:42,160 --> 00:00:43,000
And welcome.

28
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:43,960
Hello and welcome.

29
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:44,800
Hello.

30
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:47,840
It feels like it's been a long time

31
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:49,800
since we recorded it, it really hasn't.

32
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:50,640
No.

33
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:51,720
I think it's just because a lot has gone on.

34
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:55,200
I think it's just the weeks have felt long.

35
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,200
Long arduous.

36
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:58,200
I-

37
00:00:58,200 --> 00:00:59,200
We're gonna say arduous?

38
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,200
I was gonna say arduous.

39
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,200
Earlier we did a clap at the same time

40
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:04,200
to sync ourselves up.

41
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,200
What if we were instead like arduous?

42
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:08,200
Oh my gosh.

43
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:09,200
You're like, and recording.

44
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,200
That's gonna be our new sync up.

45
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,200
It's just gonna be three, two, one arduous.

46
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:15,200
Yeah, I feel like that's a word

47
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:16,200
that doesn't get used very much,

48
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,200
but it's a good one because it means a lot.

49
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:19,200
Yeah, actually-

50
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:20,200
I mean, it literally means a lot.

51
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:21,200
Yeah, actually-

52
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:22,200
It's just like,

53
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:23,200
I think it's just a lot of things

54
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:24,200
that we're doing.

55
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:25,200
It literally means a lot.

56
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,200
And it's a lot.

57
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,200
It feels like a very Austinian word.

58
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:31,200
Oh, wow.

59
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:32,200
Austinian.

60
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:33,200
That's great.

61
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,200
I'm like, I'm sure I didn't make that up, but-

62
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,200
No, but I like it.

63
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:39,200
That's-

64
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:40,200
I mean, that is what it is.

65
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,200
I doubted myself when I said Austinian,

66
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:43,200
and I was like-

67
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:44,200
I mean, why wouldn't it be?

68
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:45,200
Those who get it?

69
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:46,200
Because it's like-

70
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:47,200
You're not-

71
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,200
I mean, Austin like sounds a little like-

72
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:50,200
Yeah.

73
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:52,200
It sounds like-

74
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:53,200
Elementary.

75
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:54,200
I'm not common folk.

76
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:55,200
Oh, exactly.

77
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:56,200
What are we saying?

78
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,200
I'm not common folk.

79
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,200
I'm elementary.

80
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,200
I'm getting all high and mighty.

81
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:04,200
Yeah.

82
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,200
Not us, not this podcast.

83
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,200
Especially not us in general.

84
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:10,200
No.

85
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,200
But yeah, so a lot has gone on.

86
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,200
What has gone on for you?

87
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:21,200
Well, I tried to fix my sleep schedule this week.

88
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,200
Did it work?

89
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,200
No.

90
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:31,200
Because of my job and just because of like some busy past couple weeks,

91
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:35,200
I haven't been able to fall asleep until like three in the morning.

92
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,200
So I was like, you know what?

93
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:42,200
I'm just going to stay up for a whole day and then just go to bed the next day.

94
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,200
And surely that will fix my sleep schedule.

95
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:50,200
And I did get a little nap in just so I wasn't like completely exhausted.

96
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:55,200
But instead I went to bed and then I slept till 2pm the next day.

97
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,200
So that didn't work.

98
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:58,200
Not fixed.

99
00:02:58,200 --> 00:02:59,200
No.

100
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:04,200
Except I can't imagine that being good because you would need all that sleep anyway.

101
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:05,200
Yeah.

102
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:13,200
And then last night I didn't fall asleep until like three and then I woke up at 7.30.

103
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:14,200
Wow.

104
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,200
And I just stayed awake.

105
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,200
Well, that's kind of like the rest of us.

106
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:19,200
Yeah.

107
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:20,200
We all have to get up so early.

108
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:25,200
You have the great job schedule where you do not have to get up early for work.

109
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:26,200
Yeah.

110
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:33,200
Usually like, I mean, I'm pretty bad at falling asleep, but even three o'clock is bad for me.

111
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:34,200
Yeah.

112
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:35,200
Right.

113
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,200
I mean, that's pushing it for me because I'm not a good sleeper either.

114
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:44,200
I am a, I'm a mid-nighter easily even if I have to wake up early.

115
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:48,200
Earlier we were talking about bad sleep and I was like, you know what's bad when you

116
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,200
see that it's 11 and you're like, oh, it's still early.

117
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:52,200
No, that's not normal.

118
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:53,200
I got plenty of time.

119
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:54,200
I got plenty of time.

120
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,280
I got to start thinking it's early at eight.

121
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:03,520
And we've already talked about my weird goblin cleaning habits, which is like, I'm like a

122
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:08,720
little goblin that comes alive at night and it'll be like one in the morning and I all

123
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,200
of a sudden have a burst of energy and I'm like, I'm going to clean the kitchen.

124
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,200
But I actually think that's the best time.

125
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:19,840
And then I play like, you know, that like fun medieval tavern playlist and it's like, because

126
00:04:19,840 --> 00:04:22,200
you're closing your tavern, your tavern.

127
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:23,200
Yeah.

128
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:24,600
I thought you were going to say, and then you play murder.

129
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:25,880
She wrote in the background.

130
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:26,880
Nope.

131
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:27,880
That's very different.

132
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:29,520
I mean, that too.

133
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:30,520
It's either murder.

134
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,520
She wrote or medieval tavern.

135
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:36,200
Those are the two choices in life and they're both good and they're both excellent.

136
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,600
What's been going on with you?

137
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:49,720
The last time I chatted with you on our podcast, I was going to a concert with my cousin and

138
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,040
my friend and it was amazing.

139
00:04:53,040 --> 00:05:01,920
We went to, I'm just going to say, we went to Seattle and Tacoma and let me, I mean,

140
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:07,320
I don't know who has been to Seattle and it's listening, but let me sum up the difference

141
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,640
between Seattle and Tacoma for you.

142
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,480
I mean, there's many reasons and a lot of people are probably like, I know what they

143
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:18,440
are, but it's 30 minutes to get to Seattle from Tacoma.

144
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:22,840
The day of the concert, we gave ourselves a lot of time to play because my cousin had

145
00:05:22,840 --> 00:05:25,600
never been there before.

146
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,320
We gave ourselves a lot of time to come home.

147
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,800
It took us two hours to get to Tacoma.

148
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,520
So we were almost late to our concert, but it was amazing.

149
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:35,520
Yeah.

150
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,240
It was really fun and you are currently wearing a shirt from that concert.

151
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:44,680
I'm wearing my twice shirt and I've been wearing it a lot.

152
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,080
It has cat hair on it.

153
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,280
I mean, any shirt does.

154
00:05:49,280 --> 00:05:51,480
Any shirt should have.

155
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:52,720
It was amazing.

156
00:05:52,720 --> 00:06:00,200
So other than that, I've just been like recuperating by not sleeping and working a lot too.

157
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:04,400
And we also had our fun little Valley of the Dolls watch party.

158
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:05,400
Yes.

159
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,280
We had a little party, which we didn't know anything about.

160
00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:09,160
We just knew that Sharon Tate was in it.

161
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:10,160
And we love her.

162
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:11,160
We love her.

163
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,240
We really respect her.

164
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:18,200
She had such a sad life, but we're like, you go girl, we love you.

165
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,360
What an insane melodramatic movie.

166
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:33,280
It was like, yeah, the plot was confusing and there was a lot of loose ends and yeah.

167
00:06:33,280 --> 00:06:35,560
I thought there were actually dolls in it.

168
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,760
I thought maybe dolls was like a term for women.

169
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:38,760
I thought so too.

170
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:39,760
No, it's the pills.

171
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:40,760
It's actually pills.

172
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,920
I didn't know that was a sixties term for pills.

173
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:44,200
The sixties were wild.

174
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,200
Let's just say.

175
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:53,720
But yeah, we all dressed up sixties and Sharon Tate was beautiful.

176
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,560
The movie was beautiful.

177
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,320
Sean Aston's mom is there.

178
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,040
Sean Aston of the Goonies.

179
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:02,040
His mom was there.

180
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:07,280
She was not at the party, but she was screaming at the top of her lungs and we were like,

181
00:07:07,280 --> 00:07:08,680
what is this movie?

182
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:09,680
This movie is crazy.

183
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,160
I mean, it was yeah, you're right.

184
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:16,760
It was beautifully shot like it's like pretty, very aesthetic.

185
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,040
But wow, we're like, who wrote this?

186
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:20,280
I was like, you know what?

187
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:27,280
I can see how this didn't do well critically at the time, but is like a cult classic now.

188
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:28,280
Right.

189
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:29,760
Because of the beauty of it.

190
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:30,760
Yeah.

191
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,440
Pretty much.

192
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:33,440
That's it.

193
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,720
There's no takeaway other than the fact that are like, oh, this is nice.

194
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,200
The end.

195
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:39,200
The colors are pretty.

196
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:40,200
The end.

197
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,360
But it was a fun fever dream.

198
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,840
I feel like that was actually what the sixties were.

199
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:46,840
Yeah.

200
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:48,600
They're like, this is actually how it felt.

201
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:49,920
It's how it felt.

202
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,560
In between all of this, what has happened in real life?

203
00:07:53,560 --> 00:08:03,960
The Titanic submersal imploded and beyond that, orcas are coming together to sink yachts,

204
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:05,560
which is actually our favorite thing in the world.

205
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:06,560
Yeah.

206
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:10,560
Orcas are more organized than any humans.

207
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,560
They're more organized.

208
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:13,560
They are.

209
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,560
I don't even know.

210
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:21,800
I mean, obviously they talk to each other because they have their own language.

211
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:27,880
But how do they get messages like across big oceans?

212
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:31,440
Is it just like a telephone, like a game of telephone, where they're like, hey, meet

213
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:32,920
us over here.

214
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:34,000
We're going to sink this ship.

215
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:40,560
And then by the time it gets to the other group of orcas, they're like, and bring a bag

216
00:08:40,560 --> 00:08:41,560
of chips.

217
00:08:41,560 --> 00:08:42,560
They're like, what?

218
00:08:42,560 --> 00:08:43,560
I don't understand.

219
00:08:43,560 --> 00:08:44,560
It's like real telephone.

220
00:08:44,560 --> 00:08:47,520
It's like they're doing their whale call.

221
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:54,400
They're like, we're going to take this jerk down, come and take him down with me.

222
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:59,640
Like, I don't know what the whale version of that would be.

223
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,840
Then the whales like, beef jerky's going down?

224
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:03,840
I don't understand.

225
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,320
I'm going to go over there and they're like, oh, the jerk, not a jerky.

226
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:08,320
Yeah.

227
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:09,320
Yeah.

228
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:10,520
That was one of my favorite things to play.

229
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:11,520
Oh, telephone.

230
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,680
It's telephone because I was the one that would dismiss it all up.

231
00:09:14,680 --> 00:09:15,680
Oh, me too.

232
00:09:15,680 --> 00:09:16,680
Right.

233
00:09:16,680 --> 00:09:20,040
I'm like, even as a child, my hearing was not the best.

234
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:24,280
We're like, she said radishes are her favorite.

235
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:30,720
And then when it would finally get to the end, we're like, I did that.

236
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,040
I did the radishes.

237
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:34,880
I'm the radish girl.

238
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:40,120
But yeah, I really love orcas A. I think we both do.

239
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:46,640
I once saw orcas in the wild because we live near the ocean and I was so enthralled with

240
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,920
them, but they were there for a very naughty reason.

241
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,600
They were outside where a lot of sea lions go.

242
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:54,600
So we're like, oh, beautiful.

243
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:55,600
And they're like, uh-oh.

244
00:09:55,600 --> 00:10:00,000
Oh, this is like Orca Taco Bell.

245
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,080
And so you're like, oh, oh.

246
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:04,080
But you know what?

247
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:05,080
Hey, circle of life.

248
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,080
It's just, it's what happens.

249
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:11,840
And ever since I saw them, I was like, I love them, even though TikTok keeps trying to tell

250
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,520
us that they're like technically serial killers.

251
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:15,520
Hey.

252
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,360
I'm like, they're animals.

253
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:18,360
Calm down.

254
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:19,360
Calm down.

255
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,480
They don't have like a reading and writing system.

256
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:27,280
Let's not ascribe like sociopathy to animals.

257
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:28,280
Wow.

258
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:29,640
You have got some good words today.

259
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:30,640
I love it.

260
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:31,640
Thank you.

261
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,640
You're like, these orcas are not Austinian.

262
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:39,240
If anything, they're Jane Errin.

263
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:40,240
No.

264
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:41,240
Bronte-esque.

265
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,400
I feel like they're Jillian Flynn.

266
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:45,400
They're Jillian Flynn.

267
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:46,400
But if we were going to make Orcas-

268
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,960
The Orca, the main Orcas, Amy Dunn.

269
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:54,560
The main Orcas like gone girl Orca.

270
00:10:54,560 --> 00:10:58,280
But if they were going to be like in a, like a regency era, I feel like they're more Bronte

271
00:10:58,280 --> 00:10:59,280
than Austin.

272
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,040
Oh, for sure.

273
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,880
Very depressed and just raging.

274
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:09,640
Gothic, depressing this Orca.

275
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:13,640
He fell in love with this other Orca, but he was married.

276
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:17,680
The Orca he's married to is locked in the attic.

277
00:11:17,680 --> 00:11:20,480
Then she sets the house on fire.

278
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,400
I'm giving away the ending of Jane Errin.

279
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,840
I hope I didn't spoil it for you, but it's been a long time.

280
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,600
It's been like so many years, you guys.

281
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:28,600
Come on.

282
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:29,600
Come on.

283
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:30,600
Get it together.

284
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:31,600
And there's so many adaptations.

285
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:32,600
So.

286
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:33,600
You just got to get it.

287
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:34,600
It's good.

288
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:35,600
It's a good story.

289
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:36,600
Yeah.

290
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:41,280
I've only seen the Mio Waskowska version.

291
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:47,080
I know our friend has very strong feelings about which version is the best.

292
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:48,080
Yes.

293
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:56,680
We have a mutual friend who is the most Jane Err elite to live on this side of the Atlantic.

294
00:11:56,680 --> 00:11:58,480
Like she's not living in England.

295
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:05,920
She lives here with us, but she's like, look, this is how Jane Err needs to be done.

296
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:10,680
And it's with Ruth Wilson and that other guy, I forget his name.

297
00:12:10,680 --> 00:12:13,040
She's like, look, I am Jane Err coded.

298
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:14,040
She is.

299
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:15,040
Yeah.

300
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,040
This is our friend, Kate.

301
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:18,200
Shout out to Kate.

302
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:19,200
Shout out to Kate.

303
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,200
Kate is Jane Err exemplified.

304
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:23,200
Yeah.

305
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:24,200
Yeah.

306
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,720
Both better life decisions.

307
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:30,600
Better life decisions, but also had a better start in life.

308
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:31,600
You know, maybe that's the difference.

309
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:37,560
I mean, I think most of us had a better start in life than Jane Err.

310
00:12:37,560 --> 00:12:38,560
Yeah.

311
00:12:38,560 --> 00:12:39,560
Yeah.

312
00:12:39,560 --> 00:12:42,840
If you had a similar start to life as Jane Err, write us.

313
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:43,840
Send an email.

314
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:45,280
We'd like to read about it.

315
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:53,000
Tell us about your fiance's wife, Locked in the Attic.

316
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,040
And did she try to light you on fire?

317
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:56,040
Yeah.

318
00:12:56,040 --> 00:13:01,640
It sounds crazy, but it was a book written many years ago and it's considered classic

319
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:02,640
literature.

320
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:03,720
Maybe y'all should team up.

321
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,160
Maybe he's the problem.

322
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,200
Maybe he's the problem.

323
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,880
But he does end up going blind in the end, so he kind of reaps what he sews and then

324
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:15,040
he's like, I've learned my lesson because I can't see anymore.

325
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:22,040
He's like, I saw the error of my ways and nothing else.

326
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:23,040
But yeah.

327
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:24,040
But yeah, Orca.

328
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:25,040
Orca's Unite.

329
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:26,840
We're with him.

330
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:30,760
I ended up making some stickers.

331
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:35,880
After we started making our own stickers for the podcast, I just kind of branched out and

332
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:37,400
was like, what else can I make?

333
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,160
And so I've just been having fun with that.

334
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:40,160
I know.

335
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,520
I want to get some of your stickers.

336
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,280
I'll just get them and send them to you.

337
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:45,280
Or just bring them to you.

338
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:52,640
I'll also be like, just send you random ideas and be like, will you make this a sticker?

339
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:53,640
Yes.

340
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:55,480
Actually, to me, that's so fun.

341
00:13:55,480 --> 00:14:00,240
It's kind of like wasting my time, but I'm not wasting my time.

342
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:01,240
Exactly.

343
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,760
You're doing fun, crafty things.

344
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,720
Because I love wasting my time.

345
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,200
If there's anything I'd love to do.

346
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:10,840
But at the same time, I love being busy.

347
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,520
So like if I'm wasting my time, I feel guilty.

348
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:17,360
Then it's like this way I can be wasting my time, not feel guilty.

349
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:18,360
Yeah.

350
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,200
And you wonder why I'm in therapy.

351
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,240
You know what I really love to do.

352
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:26,880
I mean, I don't physically love it, but I must because I keep doing it.

353
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:32,320
I love to waste my time, take forever to do something, wait till the last minute and

354
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,200
then just put myself in crunch time.

355
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,400
Oh, yeah, me too.

356
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:41,240
Which I do all the time with my research.

357
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,840
It's called, I think that's like our neurodivergent superpower.

358
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,120
Oh, I have an hour left.

359
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,680
Well, here's the greatest thing you've ever heard.

360
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:53,760
And the people receiving it are like, no, actually, this is pretty bad.

361
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,240
And you're like, well, well, to me, it's amazing.

362
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,160
It's good for the time I did it.

363
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,400
You don't want to know how bad it looked before.

364
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,600
It wasn't even around.

365
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:07,360
Oh, good times.

366
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:08,600
Good times.

367
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,520
Good times with a bad brain.

368
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:11,520
Yes.

369
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,020
Gotta love it.

370
00:15:13,020 --> 00:15:20,200
Is there anything you wanted to add before we jumped into our stories for this time?

371
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,440
I was going to say this week, but we're every other week.

372
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:26,800
So every time I say this week, I mean this week of this two week time.

373
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,800
This week for the interval.

374
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:30,800
Yes.

375
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:36,920
So I'm going first this time.

376
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:40,360
This is a story that I just, I have to laugh.

377
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:44,200
I had this ready to go for last week.

378
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:45,200
Not last week.

379
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,880
I mean, two weeks ago for last time.

380
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:53,440
And then I changed it last minute because the phony Rockefeller was just too, I mean,

381
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,680
like I kind of got stuck on it and I was like, this is too funny.

382
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,000
I just have to, I just have to do it.

383
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:03,280
This is something that would have been really timely the last time.

384
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:04,760
It's still timely now.

385
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:10,680
It's actually kind of ironic, but I think it's worth telling because it's a survivor story,

386
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:20,920
but it is the unsinkable woman, Violet Jessup, who was one of the survivors of the Titanic.

387
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,040
And a few other things we will learn.

388
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:25,040
Oh my gosh.

389
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:26,040
Yeah.

390
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:27,320
So Violet Jessup.

391
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:35,080
My sources for this are the book, Titanic survivor, memoirs of Violet Jessup written

392
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:43,400
by Violet Jessup and all that's interesting article written by Katie Serena and Encyclopedia

393
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:44,400
Titanic.

394
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:48,720
Ah, see, they're like, ah, got you there.

395
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:50,280
But it's like, yeah, that's exactly what it is.

396
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:54,600
It's a Titanic encyclopedia, but they're like, we're funny.

397
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:55,600
This is funny.

398
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,880
This is a good pun.

399
00:16:57,880 --> 00:16:58,880
Okay.

400
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:00,160
So here we are.

401
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,520
We are on the Titanic.

402
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:08,200
It's right before midnight on April 14th, 1912.

403
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:09,200
Put yourself there.

404
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:10,760
It's very Downton Abbey.

405
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:11,760
Okay.

406
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:12,760
I'm closing my eyes.

407
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:13,760
Close your eyes.

408
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:14,760
You're there.

409
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,120
There's a lot of dresses and it's beautiful and gilded.

410
00:17:17,120 --> 00:17:20,360
However, our girl, Violet, she is a stewardess.

411
00:17:20,360 --> 00:17:25,360
So she would be like the help of Downton Abbey, but this is Titanic.

412
00:17:25,360 --> 00:17:29,400
So she's a Titanic stewardess and she's settling into her bunk.

413
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,280
She's flipping through some magazines.

414
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:36,000
She's reading a prayer because she is a very devout Irish Catholic.

415
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:42,440
And then she starts to drift off to sleep when suddenly a heavy crash jolts her awake.

416
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:43,720
And this is when chaos erupts.

417
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:44,720
And we all know this.

418
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:45,720
We've seen the movie.

419
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:46,720
Yes.

420
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:50,440
And if you haven't seen the movie, I'm sure you know, like this is an unsinkable ship.

421
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,560
What is happening?

422
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:58,080
So however, less than three hours later from this moment, Violet will find herself in a

423
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:07,320
lifeboat floating atop the freezing North Atlantic, one of 706 survivors, only to watch

424
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:15,040
as the unsinkable Titanic sinks beneath pitch black waters.

425
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,280
And at this point in her life, she is only 25.

426
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:18,280
Oh my gosh.

427
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:25,520
And she has already been victim to another ship crash.

428
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,800
So this is her second one.

429
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,200
So she's kind of probably like, oh boy.

430
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,880
But we will get back to that.

431
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,760
So let's just jump into who Violet is.

432
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,620
So Violet Constance Jessup.

433
00:18:38,620 --> 00:18:43,500
She was born in Bahia, Blanca, Argentina in 1887.

434
00:18:43,500 --> 00:18:49,640
She was the first child of Irish Catholic immigrants who relocated to South America to become sheep

435
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:54,440
farmers, which just sounds very cute.

436
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:59,480
It was said that her childhood was plagued by illness, which is pretty common for that

437
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,160
time period.

438
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,640
And this included typhoid and tuberculosis.

439
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:12,600
And it said the tuberculosis nearly killed her as doctors gave her parents bad news saying

440
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,640
she has just months to live.

441
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,560
But as we learn, Violet has a very strong will.

442
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,680
And it said that her recovery was miraculous.

443
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:26,040
And the editor of her memoirs, his name was John Max Tone Graham.

444
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:32,960
He said, quote, it was almost as if her fierce will healed her.

445
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,000
She's like, not today.

446
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:36,400
She's like, I'm not done.

447
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:37,400
I'm not done.

448
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,960
She's like, I got to go do some stuff.

449
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:48,600
OK, so in 1903, Violet's father passes away, and 16-year-old Violet and her family relocate

450
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:50,480
to England.

451
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:55,400
And in order to support her family as they had lost their source of income, the mother

452
00:19:55,400 --> 00:20:01,640
of the family, her name is Catherine, she became a ship stewardess for the Royal Mail

453
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:02,640
Line.

454
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,120
And this is essentially a servant for wealthy passengers.

455
00:20:05,120 --> 00:20:08,560
And the Royal Mail Line crosses the Atlantic.

456
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,520
It doesn't always necessarily mean the North Atlantic, where it's cold.

457
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:15,200
It can be kind of up and down and all around.

458
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:20,640
But while she was doing this, Violet attended Convent School.

459
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,120
And so five years go by.

460
00:20:23,120 --> 00:20:27,360
Unfortunately, Violet's mother, she falls ill.

461
00:20:27,360 --> 00:20:33,280
And now Violet, being just 21 years old, is the sole supporter for her, her mother,

462
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:34,600
and her five younger siblings.

463
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:35,600
Oh my goodness.

464
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,880
It's a lot.

465
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:43,240
So because she had only just gone to Convent School, she follows her mother's footsteps

466
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,480
and decides to become a stewardess.

467
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:51,680
At first, she had trouble finding work on ships as she was considered too young and

468
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:52,680
too attractive.

469
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:53,680
Oh, OK.

470
00:20:53,680 --> 00:21:00,080
It said she had gray blue eyes and auburn hair and an Irish accent, like, you know,

471
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,080
the three, the trifecta.

472
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:03,080
You're too powerful.

473
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:04,080
You're too powerful.

474
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,280
Look at your face and you're listening to you.

475
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:12,600
It was said she had three proposals of marriage over the course of her career and one from

476
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:14,440
a wealthy first class passenger.

477
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,120
So I don't know why she didn't jump on that.

478
00:21:17,120 --> 00:21:19,400
Maybe he was kind of weird.

479
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:20,400
Maybe a little sus.

480
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,760
Yeah.

481
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:28,560
So unfortunately for Violet, she had to make herself look frumpy for her interviews.

482
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:35,200
But she won them over with her pleasant personality and the fact that she spoke English, Spanish,

483
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,120
and French fluently.

484
00:21:37,120 --> 00:21:41,760
So she was finally able to land this job.

485
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:46,920
At first, she started with the Royal Mail line like her mother worked for.

486
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:48,640
She did this for two years.

487
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:56,560
And by 1910, she joined the White Star Line and was able to sail on the majestic.

488
00:21:56,560 --> 00:22:00,080
And originally, she did not want to work for them because she didn't like the idea of just

489
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:05,360
sailing in the northern part of the Atlantic because of severe weather conditions.

490
00:22:05,360 --> 00:22:07,120
Like it's very cold.

491
00:22:07,120 --> 00:22:12,280
And she had also heard scary stories of demanding wealthy passengers.

492
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,240
So it's kind of like, no.

493
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,320
But she took the job nevertheless.

494
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:23,160
So while working for the White Star Line, she worked 17 hours a day.

495
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:29,680
She was paid two pounds, 10 pence per month, which I looked it up in today's money.

496
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:33,600
It's only like 200 pounds a month, which is still not.

497
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:35,240
I mean, that's not very much at all.

498
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:39,280
Especially working full time like that.

499
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,000
She worked in first class cabins.

500
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:47,600
She attended to passengers, many and varied needs.

501
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:52,640
She made beds, brought in breakfast trays, cleaned bathrooms, arranged flowers and ran

502
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:53,640
errands.

503
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:57,520
I'm not really sure what kind of errands you would run on a boat.

504
00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:58,520
Yeah, I guess.

505
00:22:58,520 --> 00:22:59,520
I don't know.

506
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:05,040
They're like, Miss, would you please go out and see if the ocean is still outside?

507
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:06,040
Please.

508
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:12,160
I'm like imagining like the shopping centers that are on cruises now.

509
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,120
But I'm like, I don't know.

510
00:23:15,120 --> 00:23:16,120
I literally have no idea.

511
00:23:16,120 --> 00:23:21,400
I've seen pictures of the Titanic before it sank.

512
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:28,120
And I don't know if the majestic was the same, but it's like beautiful.

513
00:23:28,120 --> 00:23:29,360
But I didn't have shopping.

514
00:23:29,360 --> 00:23:30,360
I don't think.

515
00:23:30,360 --> 00:23:31,360
Yeah.

516
00:23:31,360 --> 00:23:32,360
Maybe like dog grooming.

517
00:23:32,360 --> 00:23:34,560
Maybe like fetching towels.

518
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:36,280
I don't know.

519
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:37,280
Drinks.

520
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,280
Changing diapers.

521
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:45,880
In her memoirs, it was said, quote, that there was no aspect of service that was not

522
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:49,200
her or her colleagues responsibility.

523
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:50,200
Sounds a little ominous.

524
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:51,200
It does.

525
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:52,200
Yeah.

526
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:53,840
Sounds like a collicky baby in the middle of the night.

527
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:55,480
Will you please hold this baby?

528
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,400
I've got to go back to sleep.

529
00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:58,400
Okay.

530
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:06,560
So by 1910, Violet leaves the majestic for the RMS Olympic, which this is a very big deal.

531
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:11,320
The Olympic is the first of the three sister ships that are going to be like the glitz

532
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:19,560
and glamour of the white star line that really show off the like the wealthy elite of if

533
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:23,160
you are fancy, you will be on one of these ships.

534
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,080
And so this is kind of a big deal.

535
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:31,840
The Olympic was met with a lot of fanfare and speaking of white star line, I'm just going

536
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,080
to give a little background on them.

537
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:38,160
So this company started in Liverpool in 1854.

538
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:44,920
So between 1854 and 1870, they used sailing ships and they were like really beautiful,

539
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:50,760
like the kind of like Pirates of the Caribbean full mast beautiful.

540
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:59,760
The first well-known ship for the white star line was called the RMS Taylor.

541
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:03,840
And sadly for the Taylor, it was known as the first Titanic.

542
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,480
And there's no way to be known as the first.

543
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,800
Like there's no good way to be known for that.

544
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:10,640
There's yeah.

545
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:18,080
And this is due to lifeboat issues, major loss of life, maiden voyage.

546
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:23,240
It ran aground and they were in an area that they couldn't safely depart the ship.

547
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,840
They're like near a lot of rocks.

548
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:30,640
And unlike the Titanic, however, it had fewer female survivors.

549
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:35,120
It said three women out of 200 on board survived.

550
00:25:35,120 --> 00:25:36,640
Oh my gosh.

551
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:37,640
Yeah.

552
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:41,680
They said they kind of they were it's like a rough estimate because this the ship, the

553
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,960
Taylor was bound for Australia.

554
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:48,640
And it had a lot of immigrants they weren't all accounted for, but they guessed probably

555
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:50,160
around 600 died.

556
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,960
Women just like shoving the women out of the way.

557
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:59,240
No, what they said, because I looked it up and they said, unfortunately, due to female

558
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:06,480
clothing styles at the time, they were heavy and they sink, which is dreadful.

559
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:08,920
That would like you can't terrible.

560
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,120
And maybe not even like educated swimmers.

561
00:26:11,120 --> 00:26:15,720
So you're like paddle, paddle, paddle, and then you're like, oh, my skirt is heavier than

562
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:16,720
heck.

563
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:18,640
Like I got to help me.

564
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:23,280
And then you just got to get left there.

565
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:27,320
So the armistailer was kind of a bummer.

566
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:31,440
And if you look at the list of the white star ships, so many of them, I guess the nature

567
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:38,480
of this work is it's like every ship was like scraps 15 years later ran aground, sink, ran

568
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:39,480
aground, sink.

569
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,320
I mean, it's like they don't survive.

570
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,360
That was like airlines are different nowadays.

571
00:26:44,360 --> 00:26:48,240
Thankfully, it's not like, well, you're you're on here until it crashes.

572
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:49,240
No ships.

573
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:54,440
It was like there was just no way to keep a ship alive for very many years because the

574
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:55,880
ocean be crazy.

575
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:57,040
Yes.

576
00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:03,440
So by 1870, the white star line started their fancier line.

577
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:04,920
They had steam ships.

578
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:08,240
They still had sales, but it was like they're like combining the two.

579
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,640
And this is when they started ending all of the ship names.

580
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:14,400
Well, like 90% of them in I see.

581
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:21,760
So like the first one's the oceanic, which was considered the mother of modern liners.

582
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:32,000
So the I see names are like Albertic, Laurentic, Homeric, ceramic traffic.

583
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,560
Traffic is a real name of what I started.

584
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:39,080
Which just cracked me up like with somebody going through the dictionary and they're like,

585
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,640
what word can I put an I see at the end to?

586
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:42,640
That is so funny.

587
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:47,080
And they're like, you know, this one just runs into a lot of traffic in the ocean.

588
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:48,080
Right.

589
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,360
And like, and this is the RMS orthopedic.

590
00:27:50,360 --> 00:27:54,120
Could you imagine if the Titanic had a different name?

591
00:27:54,120 --> 00:27:59,600
Like what would James Cameron still want to make this beautiful movie out of the ceramic?

592
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:00,760
I don't know.

593
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:06,360
But I think they kind of probably saved the fancier names for these bigger ships.

594
00:28:06,360 --> 00:28:08,880
So it sounds quite as majestic.

595
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:09,880
No.

596
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:10,880
Okay.

597
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:16,320
So by 1933, the White Star Line was hit hard by the Great Depression.

598
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:19,520
It merged with the Kunard Company.

599
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:26,960
And then by the 60s, the White Star Line had its very last ship put out of commission.

600
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:33,680
Actually, Kunard was for just by Carnival, which is funny because it's like carnival

601
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:38,320
ships are like the ultimate demise of what happened to like the beauty of the Titanic.

602
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:43,880
And now it's just a ship going to Mexico to over drink.

603
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:47,200
But it is said that because there are still Kunard ships and they're fancier than the

604
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:48,200
Carnival ships.

605
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:49,200
Nothing against Carnival.

606
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:50,200
I'm sure they're very nice.

607
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:55,600
But the Kunard ships will fly a White Star flag on April 15th for the Titanic every year,

608
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:57,960
which is very nice.

609
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:04,160
And then it is said that to this day, there is still a White Star Line office in Liverpool.

610
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:08,880
And there's one remaining ship called the Nomadic and it's dry docked in Belfast, Northern

611
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:12,080
Ireland that you can go see, which would be really, really cool.

612
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:13,960
Anyway, okay.

613
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:14,960
So enough about them.

614
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:16,800
We're going back to the Olympic with Violet.

615
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:18,400
So she was happy on the Olympic.

616
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:19,920
It was working out great.

617
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:24,040
And the Titanic, although being newer, didn't really appeal to her.

618
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:27,240
And this is fine because she had no reason to go to the Titanic.

619
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,520
She was fine staying where she was.

620
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:36,640
However, on September 20th, 1911, the Olympic collided with the British cruiser HMS Hawk.

621
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:40,840
The Olympics suffered a major rip below the waterline and started to sink but managed

622
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,600
to limp home to England.

623
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:44,600
What she was like.

624
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:46,440
Oh, thank goodness.

625
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:51,760
While the Olympic was docked for repairs and despite her reservations about the Titanic,

626
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:57,840
she was persuaded by her friends who thought it would be, quote, a wonderful experience.

627
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:05,480
So she dressed in an ankle length brown suit and set out in a horse drawn cab to join the

628
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:12,360
brand new ship at her birth in Southampton, England.

629
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:17,040
So she was running herself for the maiden voyage and it was really exciting because it was so

630
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:18,040
beautiful.

631
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:23,480
And the Olympic, the Olympic actually had more fanfare, like more was written about it.

632
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:25,960
I mean, it was like the first of the three sisters.

633
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:29,960
So it's kind of like the Titanic was like the awkward middle child.

634
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:30,960
Sure was.

635
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:31,960
Sure was.

636
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:36,120
And but people were like, well, okay, I guess we'll like this one too.

637
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:39,680
And so in her memoirs, she talked a lot about the crew that she met.

638
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:43,880
One that she greatly admired was Thomas Andrews, who was the ship's designer.

639
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:48,920
And if you have seen the movie Titanic, he is played by Victor Garber.

640
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:53,200
And in the movie, he is really kind and smart.

641
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:57,440
I mean, he's the one that basically told the captain, you can, you have to stop.

642
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,400
We're going to take on too much water.

643
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:03,640
And then he's the one that told the crew, you're not filling these lifeboats up enough.

644
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:05,800
Like he was the one that was like, what is happening?

645
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:07,360
Everything's falling apart.

646
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:11,520
So Mr. Andrews in real life was just as awesome.

647
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,560
He never failed to stop for a cheerful word.

648
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,400
He listened and spoke with the crew.

649
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:21,440
If the crew had any complaints, he would be like, okay, let me take care of that.

650
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:27,000
And he kind of had a sadness about him because he didn't really want to go on this maiden

651
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:28,000
voyage.

652
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:29,600
He wanted to stay home.

653
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:36,040
So it was, it's kind of, it's, it's extra sad because he felt like he had to go down

654
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:37,040
with the ship.

655
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:38,040
Yeah.

656
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:42,120
And the movie you see that he's just kind of waiting for, for his time.

657
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:43,120
I know.

658
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:44,120
I know.

659
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:49,120
It's like the saddest and also like most, I don't know, noble part of the movie.

660
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:50,120
Yes.

661
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:53,640
I mean, you do feel like that with the captain, but I feel like with the captain, he kind

662
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,560
of resides himself because he's like, I made a terrible mistake.

663
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:57,560
Yeah.

664
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,400
You're like, yeah, you got to go down buddy, because if you don't, people are going to

665
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,720
be really mad.

666
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:10,640
Another person she mentions by name is a Scottish violinist, Jock Hume.

667
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:15,240
And he's one of the violinists that played on the deck for everyone as they were trying

668
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:19,840
to get into their life boats, which is just like, so these are like amazing men that she's

669
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,720
like, she did not mention very many by name.

670
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:24,680
And she's like, here are two men that were awesome.

671
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:29,040
And yeah, it's, it's very touching.

672
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:34,280
She did mention, however, by name, John Jacob Astor, the fourth, who was one of the richest

673
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,280
men in the world.

674
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:38,760
He and his pregnant wife were on board.

675
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:42,280
Her name was Madeline Force Astor.

676
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:50,880
And their marriage caused a sensation because in 1911, it was pretty unheard of to have

677
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,880
a wife be pregnant before you get married.

678
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:55,040
Yeah.

679
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:56,840
And then so they get married, she's pregnant.

680
00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:58,320
He's 30 years older than her.

681
00:32:58,320 --> 00:32:59,320
Oh, yeah.

682
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:00,320
So it's just like, whoa.

683
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:04,200
But I guess they kind of like, if you're rich, you can do what you want.

684
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:08,320
So Jessup did not get a favorable impression of Madeline.

685
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:15,400
She said, quote, instead of a radiant woman of my imagination, I saw a quiet, pale, sad-faced,

686
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:18,960
dull young woman arriving listlessly on the arm of her husband.

687
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:19,960
Wow.

688
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:21,920
She burned her to filth.

689
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:22,920
Yeah.

690
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:27,800
She's like, girl, good thing you got money.

691
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:32,520
Jessup also mentioned a few other guests but did not name them, maybe just because they

692
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:35,200
probably drowned and she's giving them a little dignity.

693
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:42,680
But she did say there were a few rich, demanding passengers, one that arrived with many and

694
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:46,920
strange needs along with, quote, never ending boxes of flowers.

695
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:51,800
Presumably, thank you offerings to march your departure.

696
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:56,440
And then another woman who insisted that the furniture in her luxurious room be changed

697
00:33:56,440 --> 00:34:01,960
immediately and according to Jessup, spent her happiest moments watching the agonizing

698
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:05,640
struggles of a couple of stewards tackling the job.

699
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:07,480
So rich people haven't changed.

700
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:12,320
Literally everyone in customer service is groaning.

701
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,920
They're like, what do you mean you don't have this in pink?

702
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:16,200
Can you look in the back, ma'am?

703
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:17,280
This is the Titanic.

704
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:18,280
Can I speak to your manager?

705
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:19,280
Yeah.

706
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:20,280
You mean the captain?

707
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:21,280
Yeah.

708
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:25,000
So despite all this, she still loved her job.

709
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,120
I mean, it was beautiful.

710
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,640
If you have a chance, look at the pictures of the Titanic.

711
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:36,400
It is some of the prettiest architecture you've ever seen, which is why it's so sad that it

712
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:40,680
just went away.

713
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:46,360
In the evening when she finally had her free time, she took time to have some fresh air

714
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:48,480
on the deck every evening, which was nice.

715
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:49,480
That's not welcoming.

716
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:51,680
Time to herself, yeah, walking along the deck.

717
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:57,200
However, that fourth night, which was the night where they hit the iceberg, she said,

718
00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:01,640
quote, if the sun did fail to shine so brightly on the fourth day out, and if the little cold

719
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:06,320
nip crept into the air as evening set in, it only served to emphasize the warmth and

720
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:07,920
luxurious within.

721
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:11,240
So the fourth day was the coldest.

722
00:35:11,240 --> 00:35:14,120
And it's like, yeah, that was when it was the worst too.

723
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,960
It's kind of like driving in bad weather.

724
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:17,960
Yeah.

725
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:18,960
Yeah.

726
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:24,320
Yeah, you might slip and crash into a tree, or you might slip and fall and crash into

727
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:25,320
an iceberg.

728
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:26,320
Yeah.

729
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:27,920
Which is worse.

730
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:29,760
Which is worse.

731
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:32,600
So Violet is back in her bunk.

732
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:34,520
She's settling down.

733
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:39,000
She's reading her prayer, which she said was a strangely worded prayer.

734
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:42,760
She also made her roommate read it because she's Catholic.

735
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:46,880
And it was a prayer that was supposed to protect her from water.

736
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:51,160
And she was a devout Catholic, so she carried her rosary in her apron and believed strongly

737
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:54,320
in the power of prayer, which I mean, it's like, if that helped her, that's great.

738
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:57,320
I mean, that probably helped ease her mind.

739
00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:07,320
So by the time she was finished with all of her nightly duties, she was comfortably drowsy,

740
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:13,680
not quite asleep, but then she heard, quote, a low, rending, crunching, ripping sound.

741
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:18,440
At first she assumed it was a drill because the unseekable Titanic could not possibly

742
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:19,760
be in danger, obviously.

743
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:20,760
Of course not.

744
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:21,760
Of course not.

745
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:26,680
She was ordered on deck and helped passengers adjust their lifeboats.

746
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:30,480
She reminded them to dress warmly, take blankets, and pack up their valuables.

747
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:35,720
And then she moved room to room, promising those that it was merely a precautionary measure

748
00:36:35,720 --> 00:36:41,760
as she herself could not really comprehend the cat, like the catastrophe that was looming.

749
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:49,680
She said, quote, sometime after a ship's officer ordered us onto a boat, which was a boat 16,

750
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:52,760
first to show some women that it was safe.

751
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:57,160
As the boat was being lowered, the officer called, here, Miss Jessup, look after this

752
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:58,160
baby.

753
00:36:58,160 --> 00:36:59,760
And a bundle was dropped into my lap.

754
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:00,760
Oh my gosh.

755
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:01,760
Yeah.

756
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:06,960
The boat was lowered into the ocean with a bone cracking thud, and the baby started to

757
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:08,280
cry.

758
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:13,720
So she held the baby while watching the Titanic's bow sink further into the water and then watched

759
00:37:13,720 --> 00:37:14,720
it snap into.

760
00:37:14,720 --> 00:37:16,720
I couldn't even imagine watching this happen.

761
00:37:16,720 --> 00:37:18,200
You're literally holding a crying baby.

762
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:20,360
You have no idea who's baby this is.

763
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:21,360
I know.

764
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:24,680
I'm like, literally just watching the movie is upsetting enough.

765
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:25,680
Upsetting enough.

766
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:31,000
But being like literally just looking up from the water and just seeing that destruction.

767
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:32,760
And you're seeing people fall.

768
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:34,560
You're seeing people screaming.

769
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:35,560
Yeah.

770
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:39,640
I mean, the chaos that was before her eyes.

771
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,000
I mean, well, she's like, now I have to take care of this baby.

772
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:43,920
Yeah, this random baby.

773
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:45,080
Right.

774
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:48,400
So now she's stranded upon the expanse of the Atlantic.

775
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:53,200
And if you think about it, I mean, the Atlantic is huge.

776
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:54,360
It's cold.

777
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:56,960
There's no one else around.

778
00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:01,320
This giant boat, it's been four days since you've been on it.

779
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:03,120
There's no land.

780
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,920
You're stuck on this little boat and you have a baby.

781
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:09,280
So she was afraid that this baby was going to die in her arms, which I don't know if

782
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:13,360
she was like, she was like mentally preparing herself for that.

783
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:15,080
But she had an extra blanket with her.

784
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:17,120
So she just like wrapped it up as best as she could.

785
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:21,040
And she said it fell asleep, which is sweet.

786
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:30,640
I did see a TikTok recently that talked about how mostly women were the survivors and they

787
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:35,920
were the ones that reported the Titanic broken half and nobody believed them because they

788
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:36,920
were women saying it.

789
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:37,920
Oh, of course.

790
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:42,960
Until a man came forward and was like, yes, it broke in half.

791
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:46,800
And they're like, you guys had broken half and all these women were like, are you kidding

792
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:47,800
me?

793
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:51,920
All of those women are just like screaming, crying, pulling out there.

794
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:56,280
Screaming, crying, throwing up, punching the closest guy in the face.

795
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:57,280
Yeah.

796
00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:00,360
Some random guy was like, hey, you guys, did you hear the Titanic broken half?

797
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:05,640
And they're like, okay, here's the sound of reason this man said it broken half.

798
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:10,000
Yeah, it's men and the audacity.

799
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:11,000
Truly.

800
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:12,000
Okay.

801
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:16,240
So after eight hours, Violet and the others are picked up by the Carpathia.

802
00:39:16,240 --> 00:39:21,360
And she said, quote, I was still clutching the baby against my hardcore life belt when

803
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:24,640
a woman leapt at me and grabbed the baby and rushed off with it.

804
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:29,480
It appeared she put the baby down on the deck of the Titanic while she went off to fetch

805
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:32,520
something when she came back, the baby had gone.

806
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:34,600
I was too frozen a numb to think it's strange.

807
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:39,320
This woman had not stopped to say thank you, which I'm like, I understand it from both

808
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:40,320
sides.

809
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:41,320
Yeah.

810
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:43,760
I can't even imagine what that woman was going through that the fact that her baby was

811
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:44,760
just gone.

812
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:47,000
She probably was just like sick to her stomach.

813
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:48,000
Yeah.

814
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:49,720
But this other woman was like, hello.

815
00:39:49,720 --> 00:39:52,720
I'm like, I literally held this baby in my arms for eight hours.

816
00:39:52,720 --> 00:39:53,720
Can you at least?

817
00:39:53,720 --> 00:39:55,320
She's like, I probably saved your baby's life.

818
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:56,320
I saved your baby's life.

819
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:57,320
You're welcome.

820
00:39:57,320 --> 00:40:04,920
So it is safe to say Violet was not eager to return to a life at sea.

821
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:05,920
Why?

822
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:09,600
She probably went back to England and she was probably like, goodbye, everyone.

823
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:12,920
I'll remember you all in therapy.

824
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:18,440
But however, she could not find a job elsewhere that paid as well.

825
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:19,800
It's what she knew.

826
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:22,720
She needed to work and life was hard.

827
00:40:22,720 --> 00:40:27,840
So she went back to the ocean.

828
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:34,360
So she was now stationed on the Britannic, the third of the three sister ships.

829
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:36,800
She was probably like third time's the charm, right?

830
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:37,800
Everyone.

831
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:43,160
She looks at the camera like Jim from the office.

832
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:44,160
This is the one.

833
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:46,120
I have a good feeling about this.

834
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:55,880
So while she is on the Britannic, World War One breaks out and the beautiful Britannic

835
00:40:55,880 --> 00:41:00,880
is changed to a hospital ship and now she is no longer a stewardess.

836
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:01,880
She is a nurse.

837
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:04,280
They're like, new job for you.

838
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:05,480
New job for you.

839
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:08,680
It's funny in this day and age, I mean, you have to do so much schooling to be a nurse.

840
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:12,440
But back then they're like, Hey, if you put on this hat, you're now a nurse.

841
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:13,880
You're alive.

842
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:14,880
You can be a nurse.

843
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:19,440
See, can you like wrap this guy's broken arm?

844
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:20,440
That looks fine.

845
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:22,440
I'm sure it's fine.

846
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:23,680
She's like, you just tie it with the bow.

847
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:26,080
It's fine.

848
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:28,240
So she's on the Britannic.

849
00:41:28,240 --> 00:41:29,240
She's a nurse.

850
00:41:29,240 --> 00:41:37,920
She's trying her best and in November 1916, so it's on the 21st of November, the Britannic

851
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:40,520
hits a floating German mine.

852
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:45,240
And it begins to sink rapidly into the agency.

853
00:41:45,240 --> 00:41:47,600
I'm sure at this point she's like, you know what?

854
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:49,480
I'm done with you people.

855
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:51,360
She's like, who wants me dead?

856
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:52,960
Who wants me dead?

857
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:58,040
But she's also like, not today because she's, she's violent and she has a strong will.

858
00:41:58,040 --> 00:41:59,440
She's tough.

859
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:00,640
Mm hmm.

860
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:05,240
Again, she's ordered to the lifeboats and she was like, wait a minute and she races

861
00:42:05,240 --> 00:42:09,560
back to her cabin to gather a few personal items, including her prayer book because that's

862
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:10,760
important.

863
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:14,400
And one in particular that was also important.

864
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:19,320
She said in her memoir that she recalled the words of a friend, quote, never undertake

865
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:24,040
another disaster without first making sure of your toothbrush.

866
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:26,160
End quote.

867
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:30,560
Of all the things that you were going to say, I wouldn't have said.

868
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:31,840
Prayer book, got it.

869
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:32,840
Toothbrush?

870
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:35,720
I put 10 out of 10 dentists agree.

871
00:42:35,720 --> 00:42:39,400
That elusive 10th dentist, you know, it's usually like nine out of 10 dentists.

872
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:42,000
All the dentists are like, that girl's got it going on.

873
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:45,840
They're all like, you know what, you may be last at sea, but you can use a toothbrush.

874
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:49,960
But you have some amazing white teeth.

875
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:56,640
And the reason why she took this advice to heart is because she said in her memoir, there

876
00:42:56,640 --> 00:43:02,760
has always been much fun at her expense after the Titanic because she complained of her

877
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:06,920
inability to get a toothbrush, which is actually really sad because I imagine she's probably

878
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:11,280
like, like, you know, that feeling of like, oh, my, I would really love to brush my teeth.

879
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:14,200
Like the world just fell down around me.

880
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:15,480
Can at least get my teeth cleaned.

881
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:16,480
Yeah.

882
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:21,040
It's like the one tiny thing that's nagging you when like the most traumatic thing.

883
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:22,040
Yeah.

884
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:24,080
Like if I could just clean my teeth.

885
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:25,480
So you know, here she is.

886
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:26,880
She's like, I got it.

887
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:30,440
So toothbrush, prayer book and hand.

888
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:36,400
She was disembarking on a lifeboat with some of her shipmates as they watched in horror

889
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:39,040
as the Britannics propellers were still moving.

890
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:45,760
So if you remember the Titanic, they had the wherewithal to stop the ship.

891
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:47,680
Like they literally were like, we're dead in the water.

892
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:48,680
Let's turn off the engines.

893
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:49,680
Yeah.

894
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:52,840
The Britannic did not have the time because they hit a mine.

895
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:58,080
The propellers are sucking in passengers and boats alike with their blades.

896
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:01,520
She said she watched as the water just turned red.

897
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:02,520
No.

898
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:03,520
Yeah.

899
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:08,360
And despite all of her years on the ocean, she still did not know how to swim.

900
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:09,360
Girl.

901
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:10,360
Girl.

902
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:11,960
I mean, she's like, hey, I got to take care of a family.

903
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:14,120
I've got to think about how to brush my teeth when I can't.

904
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:16,960
She's like, I literally just got back from my last disaster.

905
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:17,960
Please.

906
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:20,520
I don't have time for hobbies.

907
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:24,160
So she said she clutched her life belt and jumped overboard.

908
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:27,840
And when she surfaced, her head hit the ship's keel.

909
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:35,560
And she said her brain shook like a solid body and a bottle of liquid.

910
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:41,560
And so she was able to grab a spare life belt that was floating by and hang on until

911
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:46,040
one of the safe lifeboats of the Britannic picked her up.

912
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:51,720
So yet again, she survived a white stern line maritime disaster.

913
00:44:51,720 --> 00:44:57,480
And she was fine, but it was said her blow to the skull would cause headaches for years

914
00:44:57,480 --> 00:44:58,480
to come.

915
00:44:58,480 --> 00:44:59,480
Yeah, I bet.

916
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:01,080
So it was just like the one thing.

917
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:05,600
Me, at least she didn't get chopped up by the propeller.

918
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:06,600
Right.

919
00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:11,000
She's like, on one hand, I would rather take this headache over that.

920
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:16,160
So despite her tumultuous experiences in the ocean, she continued to work in passenger

921
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:18,160
service for large ships.

922
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:22,520
She rejoined the white star line after the war and then subsequently signed on to a new

923
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:26,960
company called the Red Star Line, which I looked it up and they are not the same company.

924
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:31,080
Could you imagine them being like, I'm a disgruntled worker.

925
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:35,440
I'm going to start my own line and I am now the Red Star Line.

926
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:37,600
Take that.

927
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:42,160
The Red Star Line sent Jessup around the world on five cruises.

928
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:44,960
She actually had much better time on the Red Star Line.

929
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:47,400
She was very good.

930
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:53,160
It was said in her 30s that she had a brief and disastrous marriage and she never gave

931
00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:57,120
the name of her husband, which has long eluded researchers because they have never been able

932
00:45:57,120 --> 00:46:00,320
to find his name and she's like, don't look for it.

933
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:03,000
I don't want to talk about him.

934
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:05,800
And it was said they had no children.

935
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:16,280
So after a period of working various clerical, clerical jobs on shore for shipping companies,

936
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:23,600
she returned to sea for two more years on the Royal Mail line's voyages to South America.

937
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:31,080
Finally by 1950 at the age of 63, she retired and moved to the countryside and she retired

938
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:37,800
to a 16th century thatched cottage in great Asheville, Suffolk, which is just lovely.

939
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:38,800
That sounds nice.

940
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:41,280
She's probably like kissing the ground every day.

941
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:43,480
I want to be a landmark.

942
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:48,040
Yeah, she said that she was happy to spend her last years firmly planted on land.

943
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:49,280
I bet.

944
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:55,080
She filled her home with mementos of her 42 years at sea and looked after a gaggle of

945
00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:56,080
hens.

946
00:46:56,080 --> 00:47:02,600
I don't know if gaggle is the right term, but and she sold the eggs for extra income

947
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:06,600
and then she tended and cultivated a beautiful garden.

948
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:09,480
That sounds so happy.

949
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:14,000
She died of congestive heart failure at the age of 84 in 1971.

950
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:15,000
Wow.

951
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:17,080
Just actually not that long ago.

952
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:21,600
And that is the story of the unsinkable violet jessup.

953
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:28,800
That was the survivor of the three sister ships who are out to get her mega survivor.

954
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:29,800
Mega survivor.

955
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:34,240
She's like, Hey, have you ever been in a shipwreck because I have something to tell you.

956
00:47:34,240 --> 00:47:40,320
I feel like probably after so many shipwrecks, she probably kept going and is like, Hey,

957
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:42,880
I've literally been through the worst.

958
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:45,920
Like, what is it going to happen a fourth time?

959
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:46,920
She's like, clearly not.

960
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:49,800
And then she's like, I probably shouldn't risk it.

961
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:50,800
But it didn't.

962
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:51,800
No, that's good.

963
00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:55,160
I mean, unless it was something little, I didn't ever find it mentioned.

964
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:58,320
So she's like, after three times, you're done.

965
00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:00,640
If you survive, it's like being a bridesmaid.

966
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:02,320
She's like, have you done it three times?

967
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:03,320
Never a bride.

968
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:04,320
No, three strikes.

969
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:05,320
You're up.

970
00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:06,320
Oh man.

971
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:07,320
Yeah.

972
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:10,640
It was just, what a cool lady.

973
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:13,880
She just sounded so like level headed all the time.

974
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:17,400
Like the fact that she's like, and now there's a baby and now I can't find my toothbrush.

975
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:18,400
She's like, you know what?

976
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:24,720
I'll just take care of this baby and I'll make sure I don't get sucked into this turbine.

977
00:48:24,720 --> 00:48:25,720
Yep.

978
00:48:25,720 --> 00:48:26,720
Yeah.

979
00:48:26,720 --> 00:48:27,720
Yeah.

980
00:48:27,720 --> 00:48:37,880
And she, she truly is a hero because not only that, she's also working 17 hour days.

981
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:39,480
I'm like, I could never.

982
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:40,480
Yeah.

983
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:41,480
Girl, I could never.

984
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:43,600
With like the richest people.

985
00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:46,640
The richest, most demanding, snooty-est people.

986
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:47,640
Oh gosh.

987
00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:48,640
Yeah, no.

988
00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:52,320
The, what was his name?

989
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:53,320
Billy Zane.

990
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:55,000
The Billy Zanes of the world.

991
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:56,000
Yes.

992
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:57,000
I literally.

993
00:48:57,000 --> 00:49:03,160
I just watched the latter half of the Titanic a few days ago to kind of like prepare myself

994
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:04,400
for this.

995
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:07,800
And I'm like, this is so upsetting.

996
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:12,680
No matter how many times you watch it, it's probably so similar to how it was.

997
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:14,280
And it might have even been worse.

998
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:19,120
Like I know there's, there's scenes that were films that they didn't add because it was too

999
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:20,120
sad.

1000
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:24,240
Like the talks and the water.

1001
00:49:24,240 --> 00:49:29,120
But she's just like, not only that, but I'm, I'm going to do this and go back to the ocean.

1002
00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:30,120
Seriously.

1003
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:31,600
I hope she did learn to swim eventually.

1004
00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:32,600
That would be.

1005
00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:33,600
That would be too.

1006
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:34,600
That would be like a nice cherry on top.

1007
00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:37,120
It's like, uh, risky and a little too much.

1008
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:38,120
Yeah.

1009
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:41,640
She's like my one greatest enemy, the ocean.

1010
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:43,680
Will it get me?

1011
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:44,960
But also my greatest love.

1012
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:45,960
My greatest love.

1013
00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:46,960
Pretty much.

1014
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:48,360
Well, it was like a love-hate relationship.

1015
00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:49,360
That's true.

1016
00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:50,360
All right.

1017
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:55,080
Well, let's take a break before I do mine.

1018
00:49:55,080 --> 00:49:58,880
One, two, three.

1019
00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:00,880
Okay.

1020
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:02,840
Does that work?

1021
00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:04,840
Is it, is it good?

1022
00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:05,840
Okay.

1023
00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:09,720
We're like, how do we do this?

1024
00:50:09,720 --> 00:50:10,720
Okay.

1025
00:50:10,720 --> 00:50:14,960
So now it is my turn.

1026
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:17,280
It's my turn.

1027
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:24,600
And this week I actually am going to do a happy and uplifting story.

1028
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:25,600
That's happy.

1029
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:26,840
I kind of feel like mine was a little uplifting.

1030
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:29,320
It was because she survived all the things.

1031
00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:30,320
She survived.

1032
00:50:30,320 --> 00:50:37,120
I mean, there was a little bit of death, but I'm glad that yours is going to be as uplifting

1033
00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:38,120
is.

1034
00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:39,520
As can be.

1035
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:40,520
As your face says.

1036
00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:43,000
Your face is telling me uplifting.

1037
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:44,000
Good.

1038
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:50,120
Okay, so the sources for my story are, oh, you know what?

1039
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:52,960
Actually, I should probably say what it is first.

1040
00:50:52,960 --> 00:51:01,000
So the story is about Team Hoyt, the story of Dick Hoyt and his son Rick Hoyt.

1041
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:03,000
And my sources were Dick and Rick.

1042
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:05,360
Oh my gosh, that's so cute.

1043
00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:13,640
My sources were Wikipedia, Your History, Your Story podcast that has an interview with

1044
00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:17,560
Rick Hoyt and his brother Russ.

1045
00:51:17,560 --> 00:51:24,480
Triathlon magazine in the article is by Kevin McCannon and then an article from Triathlon

1046
00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:25,480
Inspires.

1047
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:35,240
Okay, so this story is about a father son duo who completed many athletic competitions,

1048
00:51:35,240 --> 00:51:38,920
including the Boston Marathon and Iron Man triathlons.

1049
00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:43,320
But there is something extra special about this father son duo.

1050
00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:49,240
So Rick Hoyt was born January 10th, 1962 to Dick and Judy Hoyt.

1051
00:51:49,240 --> 00:51:54,360
And he was born with the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck, which causes a block of oxygen

1052
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:55,520
flow.

1053
00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:58,160
And then he was diagnosed with cerebral palsy.

1054
00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:00,520
Did I say that right?

1055
00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:02,120
Cerebral palsy?

1056
00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:03,120
Cerebral palsy?

1057
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:04,120
Cerebral palsy?

1058
00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:05,120
Cerebral palsy?

1059
00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:06,440
I think it's good either way.

1060
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:07,440
Okay.

1061
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:09,520
I have no idea.

1062
00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:18,720
Um, and doctors encouraged Rick's parents to put him in a facility saying that he would

1063
00:52:18,720 --> 00:52:21,080
be nothing more than a vegetable.

1064
00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:22,240
What year was this again?

1065
00:52:22,240 --> 00:52:23,240
This was 1962.

1066
00:52:23,240 --> 00:52:29,840
Isn't it sad that the 60s, while being not that long ago, they also seemed so archaic

1067
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:30,840
with medicine?

1068
00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:32,240
They really do, with medicine.

1069
00:52:32,240 --> 00:52:33,240
Medicine.

1070
00:52:33,240 --> 00:52:34,240
Yeah.

1071
00:52:34,240 --> 00:52:39,840
And for Rick, he had awesome parents who were like, no, that is unacceptable.

1072
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:44,360
We are going to do everything we can to give Rick a normal life.

1073
00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:51,000
And his cerebral palsy gave him little control over his limbs or his tongue.

1074
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:55,360
So he was unable to move or speak well, but he had no brain damage.

1075
00:52:55,360 --> 00:53:01,320
And one of the things that his parents held on to when he was born was that his eyes would

1076
00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:05,440
follow them around the room so they could see that, you know, there was something going

1077
00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:07,320
on in there.

1078
00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:12,840
So Rick's mother, Judy, spent hours a day teaching Rick the alphabet and posting signs

1079
00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:19,520
on every object in the house to help him to learn like the tactile alphabet.

1080
00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:24,800
And at age 11, he was fitted with a computer that enabled him to communicate.

1081
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:31,240
And it was clear when he was able to communicate with them that Rick was pretty intelligent.

1082
00:53:31,240 --> 00:53:37,360
And he was born and raised in Massachusetts, although they moved around quite a bit due

1083
00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:42,520
to his father, Dick's military career.

1084
00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:46,320
Rick had two younger brothers, Russ and Rob.

1085
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:49,200
And his parents were so cute.

1086
00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:52,600
Dick and Judy were high school sweethearts.

1087
00:53:52,600 --> 00:53:55,680
And she was a cheerleader and he was captain of the football team.

1088
00:53:55,680 --> 00:53:56,880
Oh my gosh.

1089
00:53:56,880 --> 00:54:02,960
And it was said in their yearbook that they were like coffee and tea.

1090
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:05,120
You wouldn't often find one without the other.

1091
00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:06,560
Oh, that's cute.

1092
00:54:06,560 --> 00:54:10,600
And when they asked Dick what the best part of high school was, he said going with Judy.

1093
00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:11,600
Oh.

1094
00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:12,600
So they're super cute.

1095
00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:14,600
They're like proof that true love exists.

1096
00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:15,600
I know.

1097
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:17,000
And that good people exist.

1098
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:18,000
I know.

1099
00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:19,520
And good parents.

1100
00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:25,840
And before his military career, Dick was a mason and he built brick chimneys.

1101
00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:31,160
And then he later joined the Army National Guard and transferred to the International

1102
00:54:31,160 --> 00:54:33,280
Guard and hoped to become a pilot.

1103
00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:36,600
But he was past the age requirement.

1104
00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:43,800
So he had a long military career and he became the fitness officer at the base, which is

1105
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:48,000
very fitting for the rest of the story.

1106
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:55,400
And so Rick initially got interested in racing when he heard about a race that would benefit

1107
00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:59,960
a lacrosse player at his school who had become paralyzed.

1108
00:54:59,960 --> 00:55:07,760
His, I believe it was his PE teacher said that he should ask his family to participate

1109
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:09,240
in the race.

1110
00:55:09,240 --> 00:55:14,640
And Rick was very excited about the thought of benefiting another student.

1111
00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:19,120
And so Dick would run while pushing Rick in a wheelchair.

1112
00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:23,240
However, Dick was not an athlete.

1113
00:55:23,240 --> 00:55:24,240
I mean, no, sorry.

1114
00:55:24,240 --> 00:55:25,880
Dick wasn't an athlete.

1115
00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:27,920
He was the fitness person.

1116
00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:31,600
No, we are not an athlete in this house.

1117
00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:33,760
No, we can't be.

1118
00:55:33,760 --> 00:55:35,120
But we're not.

1119
00:55:35,120 --> 00:55:38,400
But he was not a natural runner or a swimmer.

1120
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:42,640
He would run a mile or two, but never got much longer than that.

1121
00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:47,680
And in high school, when he was swimming, he was called the rock because he would sink

1122
00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:49,680
when he tried to swim.

1123
00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:53,200
Cause he was like a pretty, like a sturdy stout guy.

1124
00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:54,760
They probably had a lot of muscle.

1125
00:55:54,760 --> 00:55:55,760
Yeah.

1126
00:55:55,760 --> 00:56:01,880
But he was determined to train and even taught himself how to swim and to train for running.

1127
00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:06,920
When Rick was in school, Dick would run pushing a bag of cement in a wheelchair.

1128
00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:07,920
Wow.

1129
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:10,240
And so, a new training tip for me.

1130
00:56:10,240 --> 00:56:12,000
I'm like, try the bag of cement.

1131
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:13,000
Right.

1132
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:16,680
And then presumably you won't push someone in a wheelchair.

1133
00:56:16,680 --> 00:56:18,920
So it'll be lighter when you do it yourself.

1134
00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:19,920
Oh, that's true.

1135
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:20,920
Yeah.

1136
00:56:20,920 --> 00:56:24,440
So Dick and Rick would do the race.

1137
00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:29,000
Rick would sit in the wheelchair and Dick would push him along the course.

1138
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:37,240
Dick weighed 180 pounds and when they would do triathlons, they would have to do, you

1139
00:56:37,240 --> 00:56:39,120
know, biking, swimming, running.

1140
00:56:39,120 --> 00:56:40,120
Right.

1141
00:56:40,120 --> 00:56:42,520
So Dick already weighed 180 pounds.

1142
00:56:42,520 --> 00:56:50,040
The bike weighed about 70 and Rick weighed 100 pounds totaling 350 pounds for Dick to

1143
00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:51,040
carry.

1144
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:52,040
Oh my gosh.

1145
00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:58,480
200 pounds more than the average triathlete on their bike.

1146
00:56:58,480 --> 00:57:05,920
And at first, when they decided to start racing, people told them no.

1147
00:57:05,920 --> 00:57:09,960
They were worried about how it would go with Rick in the wheelchair.

1148
00:57:09,960 --> 00:57:12,480
Well, they worried about the liability for Rick.

1149
00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:17,880
I think probably partly the liability, but also you have to qualify first to participate

1150
00:57:17,880 --> 00:57:19,280
in the Boston Marathon.

1151
00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:20,280
Oh, I see.

1152
00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:24,800
And so the first time they tried to run the Boston Marathon, they were told no.

1153
00:57:24,800 --> 00:57:31,680
So they went to a Marine Corps Marathon and ran a two hour and 40 minute marathon.

1154
00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:37,120
And then they were able to qualify for the Boston Marathon under Rick's age, which made

1155
00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:42,080
it even harder for Rick, for Dick because he couldn't qualify under his age.

1156
00:57:42,080 --> 00:57:43,360
It was under his son's age.

1157
00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:47,440
So it was like even more difficult parameters.

1158
00:57:47,440 --> 00:57:50,160
Because he had young people around him.

1159
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:51,160
His son was 20.

1160
00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:52,160
Right.

1161
00:57:52,160 --> 00:57:53,160
Yeah.

1162
00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:54,160
Oh my gosh.

1163
00:57:54,160 --> 00:57:55,160
Yeah.

1164
00:57:55,160 --> 00:58:02,920
And then Dick was approached by the, not the owner, the organizer of the Boston Marathon

1165
00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:07,400
and told that he would be a great triathlete, but he said he would only do it if he could

1166
00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:08,720
do it with Rick.

1167
00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:14,400
And initially they said no, but they really wanted him to be able to do the triathlon.

1168
00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:15,920
And real quick, sorry.

1169
00:58:15,920 --> 00:58:19,760
Is this at in the 70s or 80s?

1170
00:58:19,760 --> 00:58:20,760
Is the 70s.

1171
00:58:20,760 --> 00:58:21,760
Okay.

1172
00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:22,760
Is when they first started.

1173
00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:23,760
When they first started.

1174
00:58:23,760 --> 00:58:24,760
Okay.

1175
00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:30,320
And so for the swimming portion, they got a boat that he could pull Rick in while he

1176
00:58:30,320 --> 00:58:31,320
was swimming.

1177
00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:32,320
Oh my gosh.

1178
00:58:32,320 --> 00:58:37,960
And then they got a modified back that, oh my gosh, a modified bike that would be able

1179
00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:39,960
to carry Rick.

1180
00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:46,080
And there's the motto of team hoit, which is what they refer to them and their family,

1181
00:58:46,080 --> 00:58:49,600
yes we can because they were told no many times.

1182
00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:52,960
So they always said yes we can.

1183
00:58:52,960 --> 00:58:59,200
So Dick decided that this was going to be something that they would keep doing because

1184
00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:03,320
Rick said that when they were racing, he felt like his disability wasn't there.

1185
00:59:03,320 --> 00:59:05,080
He said he just felt normal.

1186
00:59:05,080 --> 00:59:14,680
So his father was motivated to keep doing races to keep Rick having this feeling of feeling

1187
00:59:14,680 --> 00:59:17,920
normal and feeling like other kids.

1188
00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:24,120
So altogether they did 1130 different events.

1189
00:59:24,120 --> 00:59:31,400
They ran the Boston marathon 32 consecutive years and completed seven Ironman triathlons.

1190
00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:38,600
They completed the Ironman championship and went to Hawaii, many 5Ks and triathlons, Ironman

1191
00:59:38,600 --> 00:59:41,400
Germany, Ironman Japan, etc.

1192
00:59:41,400 --> 00:59:44,760
They just were crushing all of the competitions.

1193
00:59:44,760 --> 00:59:45,760
Oh my gosh.

1194
00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:51,000
And for those who don't know, which I certainly didn't know before this, the Ironman competitions

1195
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:59,800
consist of a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike ride and a 26.2 mile run.

1196
00:59:59,800 --> 01:00:02,400
And you're doing this with two people instead of one.

1197
01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:03,880
You're doing this with two people.

1198
01:00:03,880 --> 01:00:08,280
I can't do any of those with just by myself.

1199
01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:16,160
I feel like Dick Hoyt is like my fitness goal for the rest of my life.

1200
01:00:16,160 --> 01:00:18,440
I'm like are you an Avenger?

1201
01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:23,320
He's like don't look too closely at me because I'm actually Captain America.

1202
01:00:23,320 --> 01:00:27,160
He's like actually I'm cooler than them because I'm not destroying cities.

1203
01:00:27,160 --> 01:00:28,160
I'm helping myself.

1204
01:00:28,160 --> 01:00:29,160
That's true.

1205
01:00:29,160 --> 01:00:30,160
I know.

1206
01:00:30,160 --> 01:00:32,480
Would an Avenger help their son run a triathlon?

1207
01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:40,240
I mean they probably would but they would probably cause some chaos in the meantime.

1208
01:00:40,240 --> 01:00:52,000
Okay so going back to their family, the family was very supportive of Rick and of Dick of

1209
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:53,000
course.

1210
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:59,800
They were always there with them for all of the races and even as a child Rick's family

1211
01:00:59,800 --> 01:01:04,800
always made sure that he was treated like the other children and always included.

1212
01:01:04,800 --> 01:01:07,640
His brothers were very supportive of him.

1213
01:01:07,640 --> 01:01:12,360
They did everything together and if someone wasn't supportive of Rick then his brothers

1214
01:01:12,360 --> 01:01:17,920
would not hang out with them because wherever their brother went they went.

1215
01:01:17,920 --> 01:01:18,920
I love that so much.

1216
01:01:18,920 --> 01:01:27,120
I know it's so sweet and they would take him swimming during family vacations and sledding.

1217
01:01:27,120 --> 01:01:33,800
Their brothers told the story on the podcast I listened to of when they would go swimming

1218
01:01:33,800 --> 01:01:34,800
to the lake.

1219
01:01:34,800 --> 01:01:41,840
It would be Rick and his two younger brothers would take him to the lake while the parents

1220
01:01:41,840 --> 01:01:49,840
were setting up and one of them would drop him in and then wait a couple seconds and

1221
01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:56,160
then the other one would come in, swim and pick him up and standards by would be freaking

1222
01:01:56,160 --> 01:02:03,320
out thinking they're abusing their kid or drowning this disabled kid but Rick was having

1223
01:02:03,320 --> 01:02:07,600
the time of his life and he would just be cracking up when they would pull him up out

1224
01:02:07,600 --> 01:02:08,600
of the water.

1225
01:02:08,600 --> 01:02:15,440
So there's acting like brothers with each other which is what you're supposed to do.

1226
01:02:15,440 --> 01:02:20,440
And then, gosh sorry, I'm so edgy today.

1227
01:02:20,440 --> 01:02:23,160
Don't worry I'll edit all of this out.

1228
01:02:23,160 --> 01:02:24,160
It's probably allergies.

1229
01:02:24,160 --> 01:02:28,800
I know I think allergies and something bit me.

1230
01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:30,800
Those biters.

1231
01:02:30,800 --> 01:02:33,520
Beep boop bop.

1232
01:02:33,520 --> 01:02:35,520
Beep boop bop.

1233
01:02:35,520 --> 01:02:36,520
Beep.

1234
01:02:36,520 --> 01:02:37,520
Beep.

1235
01:02:37,520 --> 01:02:38,520
Why?

1236
01:02:38,520 --> 01:02:39,520
I can't.

1237
01:02:39,520 --> 01:02:40,520
I can't.

1238
01:02:40,520 --> 01:02:41,520
I find.

1239
01:02:41,520 --> 01:02:44,520
If you're, bear don't say anything for a second.

1240
01:02:44,520 --> 01:02:45,520
Hello.

1241
01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:46,520
Oh yeah it does pick me up.

1242
01:02:46,520 --> 01:02:48,200
The microphone picks me up.

1243
01:02:48,200 --> 01:02:49,200
Only a little bit though.

1244
01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:50,200
Only a little bit.

1245
01:02:50,200 --> 01:02:51,200
Okay good.

1246
01:02:51,200 --> 01:02:54,200
Only a little bit.

1247
01:02:54,200 --> 01:02:55,320
Okay.

1248
01:02:55,320 --> 01:03:00,120
So back to the racing.

1249
01:03:00,120 --> 01:03:04,200
So Rick's brothers and mother helped with all of their races and they were kind of like

1250
01:03:04,200 --> 01:03:09,760
his pit crew making sure that the boat was inflated for Rick, holding the bike while Rick

1251
01:03:09,760 --> 01:03:18,520
was transferred and when they went on long races and would travel to different states

1252
01:03:18,520 --> 01:03:23,160
they would stay home and prepare meals to make sure that they were well fed and well

1253
01:03:23,160 --> 01:03:30,080
hydrated and they had a bike specifically modified so that Rick could be sitting in the

1254
01:03:30,080 --> 01:03:34,800
front and his father could reach around and squirt water in his mouth during the race to

1255
01:03:34,800 --> 01:03:36,680
make sure that he was hydrated.

1256
01:03:36,680 --> 01:03:37,680
Oh cute.

1257
01:03:37,680 --> 01:03:42,480
But even though he wasn't running, racing was actually quite hard on Rick's body because

1258
01:03:42,480 --> 01:03:50,800
he was at the front of the bike, at the front of the wheelchair when his father's running

1259
01:03:50,800 --> 01:03:56,600
or biking and so he is breaking the wind for his father and then the sun is beating down

1260
01:03:56,600 --> 01:04:03,360
on him and his body would spasm during the race but they made sure that he was well taken

1261
01:04:03,360 --> 01:04:09,160
care of during the races and he enjoyed it immensely.

1262
01:04:09,160 --> 01:04:17,280
And they also highlight that in a lot of this their mother sometimes gets lost in the shuffle.

1263
01:04:17,280 --> 01:04:22,360
You know a lot of people talk about Rick and his father but his mother did so much for

1264
01:04:22,360 --> 01:04:29,360
Rick she became an advocate for Rick and she got the first ever public education law in

1265
01:04:29,360 --> 01:04:32,800
Massachusetts for students with disabilities.

1266
01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:37,680
She later went back to school and got her master's in human services and created a summer

1267
01:04:37,680 --> 01:04:46,440
camp for children with and without disabilities and she worked in human services it sounds

1268
01:04:46,440 --> 01:04:52,680
like for the rest of her life and helped other children with disabilities get the access

1269
01:04:52,680 --> 01:04:54,360
that they needed.

1270
01:04:54,360 --> 01:05:01,200
Rick recounted a couple of the races that stuck in his mind, one of them stuck in his mind

1271
01:05:01,200 --> 01:05:05,720
for a bad reason because it was during the Boston Marathon bombings him and his father

1272
01:05:05,720 --> 01:05:10,920
were running the race and they were told that they had to stop and they knew something

1273
01:05:10,920 --> 01:05:17,040
had happened but they were worried because his brother and his children and his wife

1274
01:05:17,040 --> 01:05:22,280
were at the end of the finish line waiting for them and so they had to wait to find out

1275
01:05:22,280 --> 01:05:30,400
if they were okay but thankfully all of his family was unharmed and he also recounts another

1276
01:05:30,400 --> 01:05:38,760
race in Hawaii where they were finishing the race when it was midnight and it was dark out

1277
01:05:38,760 --> 01:05:44,240
and there was a huge crowd of people and everyone was cheering for them as him and his father

1278
01:05:44,240 --> 01:05:49,880
crossed the finish line and his mother and his brothers were spraying them all over with

1279
01:05:49,880 --> 01:05:50,880
champagne.

1280
01:05:50,880 --> 01:05:52,880
Oh that's really happy.

1281
01:05:52,880 --> 01:05:58,440
Which that just sounds like the happiest scene in the world to me just being out on

1282
01:05:58,440 --> 01:06:01,600
a hot night in Hawaii and just getting sprayed down with champagne.

1283
01:06:01,600 --> 01:06:02,840
Everyone's happy for you.

1284
01:06:02,840 --> 01:06:04,200
Yeah it sounds so happy.

1285
01:06:04,200 --> 01:06:05,680
That's a good memory.

1286
01:06:05,680 --> 01:06:07,560
It is.

1287
01:06:07,560 --> 01:06:16,960
And in 2005 after they had gotten notoriety and support the Hoyts created the Hoyt Foundation

1288
01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:21,160
to help others with disabilities take part in athletic pursuits.

1289
01:06:21,160 --> 01:06:25,120
They promote inclusion and raise disability awareness.

1290
01:06:25,120 --> 01:06:33,840
Sadly Dick Hoyt passed away March 17th, 2021 and after Dick passed away three of his grandsons

1291
01:06:33,840 --> 01:06:40,360
Cameron Ryan and Troy completed the Boston Marathon in honor of their grandfather's legacy

1292
01:06:40,360 --> 01:06:47,600
and former Bruins star Zeno Chara also raced for Team Hoyt as their family were huge Bruins

1293
01:06:47,600 --> 01:06:49,480
fans.

1294
01:06:49,480 --> 01:06:54,600
And then Rick actually just passed away on May 22nd, 2023.

1295
01:06:54,600 --> 01:06:57,760
Oh wow that wasn't that long ago that was like a month ago.

1296
01:06:57,760 --> 01:06:58,760
I know.

1297
01:06:58,760 --> 01:07:02,280
Yeah it was very recently.

1298
01:07:02,280 --> 01:07:07,680
But their family has continued with their legacy of Team Hoyt Foundation and set up

1299
01:07:07,680 --> 01:07:12,240
a race just about a week after Rick passed away.

1300
01:07:12,240 --> 01:07:17,440
They had a race in his memory and there is a bronze statue of the two of them near the

1301
01:07:17,440 --> 01:07:21,640
start of the Boston Marathon in Hopkinson.

1302
01:07:21,640 --> 01:07:24,600
And that is the story of Dick and Rick Hoyt.

1303
01:07:24,600 --> 01:07:27,520
Oh my gosh thank you so much for sharing that.

1304
01:07:27,520 --> 01:07:34,840
I remember you sending me a TikTok about them and you're like this is making me cry.

1305
01:07:34,840 --> 01:07:39,040
But it's like the sweetest, goodest story.

1306
01:07:39,040 --> 01:07:46,120
Yeah I think it was like right after he had passed away someone put together like a compilation

1307
01:07:46,120 --> 01:07:52,200
of him and his father and their races over the years and I think I vaguely heard of them

1308
01:07:52,200 --> 01:07:57,840
before but I had never really looked into it and just like seeing the footage of how

1309
01:07:57,840 --> 01:08:03,920
sweet they were and like how hard his father worked to get him through these races just

1310
01:08:03,920 --> 01:08:05,560
made me cry.

1311
01:08:05,560 --> 01:08:10,040
And then when I listened to the podcast and heard how supportive the rest of his family

1312
01:08:10,040 --> 01:08:14,720
was, I was like this is just the most wonderful heartwarming story and I feel like everyone

1313
01:08:14,720 --> 01:08:15,720
should know it.

1314
01:08:15,720 --> 01:08:19,040
Yes that's, yeah I don't think I have ever heard it.

1315
01:08:19,040 --> 01:08:24,320
Yeah I'm like I don't know how I heard of it before but it sounded somewhat familiar.

1316
01:08:24,320 --> 01:08:26,400
From your Marathon days.

1317
01:08:26,400 --> 01:08:29,480
Oh yes you know me and my marathons.

1318
01:08:29,480 --> 01:08:37,160
But I also like on the podcast I listened to it was probably not too long before Rick

1319
01:08:37,160 --> 01:08:44,600
passed away him and his brother Russ were on a podcast talking about their family and

1320
01:08:44,600 --> 01:08:51,800
Rick had pre-recorded his answers to the questions typing out his answers but they said that

1321
01:08:51,800 --> 01:08:57,720
a lot of people have written them and their family saying that him and his father have

1322
01:08:57,720 --> 01:09:04,360
inspired them to do more with their lives like get back their zest for life or just

1323
01:09:04,360 --> 01:09:08,960
reach goals that they didn't think that they could reach because they're so inspiring and

1324
01:09:08,960 --> 01:09:10,760
I got pretty inspired too.

1325
01:09:10,760 --> 01:09:14,680
I'm like sitting here thinking could I do something maybe I could.

1326
01:09:14,680 --> 01:09:17,440
I have really no excuses at all.

1327
01:09:17,440 --> 01:09:24,200
I do have like some fitness goals so I'm like you know what may Team Hoyt inspire us and

1328
01:09:24,200 --> 01:09:26,800
may we say yes we can.

1329
01:09:26,800 --> 01:09:28,100
Yes we can.

1330
01:09:28,100 --> 01:09:32,680
When someone says no you can't and I'll be like actually I have something to tell you.

1331
01:09:32,680 --> 01:09:33,680
Yes I can.

1332
01:09:33,680 --> 01:09:37,680
I'm like to be fair usually it's me telling me no you can't.

1333
01:09:37,680 --> 01:09:40,320
I'm my worst enemy.

1334
01:09:40,320 --> 01:09:42,680
You just have to say to each other yes you can.

1335
01:09:42,680 --> 01:09:45,080
I'm like what would Dick say to you.

1336
01:09:45,080 --> 01:09:47,000
What would Rick say to you.

1337
01:09:47,000 --> 01:09:48,000
Yeah very true.

1338
01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:56,760
I'd be like our name's Rhyme and that is also not the only cutest thing about us.

1339
01:09:56,760 --> 01:10:04,200
I mean I do like athleticism like I like playing sports.

1340
01:10:04,200 --> 01:10:10,840
I'm not the greatest athlete but I don't know if I could ever attain the greatness that

1341
01:10:10,840 --> 01:10:15,240
is pushing someone in a wheelchair while running and biking and swimming.

1342
01:10:15,240 --> 01:10:27,160
Yeah I there is something about like that like military type dedication and physicality

1343
01:10:27,160 --> 01:10:35,840
like my grandpa he wasn't like a marathon or anything like that but he was in the military

1344
01:10:35,840 --> 01:10:42,720
and he did have just like a crazy strength like even though he wasn't like super athletic

1345
01:10:42,720 --> 01:10:44,680
he was just crazy strong.

1346
01:10:44,680 --> 01:10:49,160
It's funny that same with my grandpa he was also he was in the Navy it's like they teach

1347
01:10:49,160 --> 01:10:51,320
those guys how to do stuff.

1348
01:10:51,320 --> 01:10:53,640
They have they do have their problems.

1349
01:10:53,640 --> 01:10:57,760
But if anything they learn how to organize and do things.

1350
01:10:57,760 --> 01:10:59,520
They're definitely very strong.

1351
01:10:59,520 --> 01:11:00,520
They're strong people.

1352
01:11:00,520 --> 01:11:02,720
Yeah that's the takeaway.

1353
01:11:02,720 --> 01:11:11,240
I'm like I am not a runner but I would be interested in like learning how to swim more

1354
01:11:11,240 --> 01:11:12,240
efficiently.

1355
01:11:12,240 --> 01:11:13,240
Right.

1356
01:11:13,240 --> 01:11:14,240
I would too.

1357
01:11:14,240 --> 01:11:16,240
I'd like to swim in your pool.

1358
01:11:16,240 --> 01:11:17,480
I know in fact.

1359
01:11:17,480 --> 01:11:21,080
It was closed this week for painting so I didn't get to swim in it.

1360
01:11:21,080 --> 01:11:24,880
Which is sad because today was an especially hot day.

1361
01:11:24,880 --> 01:11:27,320
You know like we're going to close it on the hottest week.

1362
01:11:27,320 --> 01:11:28,320
I'm so sorry.

1363
01:11:28,320 --> 01:11:29,320
Like but why.

1364
01:11:29,320 --> 01:11:36,760
But yes I would love to have some of that team white energy and learn how to swim.

1365
01:11:36,760 --> 01:11:42,400
I know how to swim but not like you know the full on backstrokes and stuff.

1366
01:11:42,400 --> 01:11:48,600
Yeah same like I'm a pretty strong swimmer but it's kind of like a chaotic swim like

1367
01:11:48,600 --> 01:11:49,800
I'll get there swim.

1368
01:11:49,800 --> 01:11:57,880
Yeah I'm like I would definitely survive if I had to in water but it would not be elegant.

1369
01:11:57,880 --> 01:12:00,360
No same.

1370
01:12:00,360 --> 01:12:02,360
And I have done I've done two.

1371
01:12:02,360 --> 01:12:04,640
I've done more than two.

1372
01:12:04,640 --> 01:12:11,120
I've done two half marathons and after my second one I was like that's it.

1373
01:12:11,120 --> 01:12:13,600
I'm not going to run a marathon anymore.

1374
01:12:13,600 --> 01:12:17,160
Even a half people will just like straight up be like here's a full marathon I'm going

1375
01:12:17,160 --> 01:12:18,160
to run it.

1376
01:12:18,160 --> 01:12:24,080
I can't I'm a short distance runner not a long distance runner.

1377
01:12:24,080 --> 01:12:26,960
I've only done five K's.

1378
01:12:26,960 --> 01:12:30,360
I this body was not built for running.

1379
01:12:30,360 --> 01:12:35,280
But I mean hey even a five K's impressive so yeah so don't discount yourself.

1380
01:12:35,280 --> 01:12:44,640
I think one time I did do slightly longer than a five K because it was like there was

1381
01:12:44,640 --> 01:12:50,520
two separate courses on the race and me and my friend really had to use the bathroom before

1382
01:12:50,520 --> 01:12:54,600
the race so we like went and we're like oh we'll just go use the bathroom then we come

1383
01:12:54,600 --> 01:12:59,880
back and the guy was like where have you guys been the race started and so we ended up going

1384
01:12:59,880 --> 01:13:03,040
a different course and so we ended up doing the longer course.

1385
01:13:03,040 --> 01:13:04,200
Oh wow.

1386
01:13:04,200 --> 01:13:09,120
Yeah so I don't remember how long it was but it was slightly longer.

1387
01:13:09,120 --> 01:13:10,120
Significantly longer.

1388
01:13:10,120 --> 01:13:11,120
Yeah.

1389
01:13:11,120 --> 01:13:12,120
Longer than three miles probably.

1390
01:13:12,120 --> 01:13:13,120
Probably yeah.

1391
01:13:13,120 --> 01:13:17,240
Well now I feel pretty jazzed.

1392
01:13:17,240 --> 01:13:19,280
I'm like this is good.

1393
01:13:19,280 --> 01:13:20,280
This is a good episode.

1394
01:13:20,280 --> 01:13:26,200
Yes we can survive disasters and we can overcome adversity.

1395
01:13:26,200 --> 01:13:28,360
Look at us.

1396
01:13:28,360 --> 01:13:29,360
We're doing it.

1397
01:13:29,360 --> 01:13:30,360
We are.

1398
01:13:30,360 --> 01:13:35,200
We're overcoming a lot of things and this is our eighth episode which is just wild to

1399
01:13:35,200 --> 01:13:40,160
think about that in two episodes from now it'll be ten episodes.

1400
01:13:40,160 --> 01:13:42,320
It's like a mini milestone.

1401
01:13:42,320 --> 01:13:43,320
It is.

1402
01:13:43,320 --> 01:13:44,320
That'll be exciting.

1403
01:13:44,320 --> 01:13:45,320
It'll be so exciting.

1404
01:13:45,320 --> 01:13:47,320
I'm like what are we going to do?

1405
01:13:47,320 --> 01:13:48,320
How far can we go?

1406
01:13:48,320 --> 01:13:49,320
I don't know.

1407
01:13:49,320 --> 01:13:50,320
Can we make it to 20?

1408
01:13:50,320 --> 01:13:51,320
Yeah.

1409
01:13:51,320 --> 01:13:52,320
Yeah.

1410
01:13:52,320 --> 01:13:53,320
Let's do it.

1411
01:13:53,320 --> 01:13:54,320
We'll take it to a million.

1412
01:13:54,320 --> 01:13:55,320
Whoa.

1413
01:13:55,320 --> 01:13:56,320
Whoa I don't know about that.

1414
01:13:56,320 --> 01:14:01,600
I thought when you said what are we going to do I thought you meant for the tenth episode

1415
01:14:01,600 --> 01:14:03,880
and I was like get some cake.

1416
01:14:03,880 --> 01:14:04,880
Okay.

1417
01:14:04,880 --> 01:14:09,120
Well like speaking of working out I would like to get some cake.

1418
01:14:09,120 --> 01:14:11,200
Well you got to reward yourself too.

1419
01:14:11,200 --> 01:14:12,200
Yeah.

1420
01:14:12,200 --> 01:14:20,040
I'm like I love me some cake.

1421
01:14:20,040 --> 01:14:23,600
And here comes the time where we need to end our podcast.

1422
01:14:23,600 --> 01:14:24,600
Yeah.

1423
01:14:24,600 --> 01:14:27,920
Oh wait we need to do a quick little promo.

1424
01:14:27,920 --> 01:14:29,600
Oh we do have a promo.

1425
01:14:29,600 --> 01:14:31,080
I'm glad you remembered.

1426
01:14:31,080 --> 01:14:33,080
Yes I was like I feel like I'm forgetting something.

1427
01:14:33,080 --> 01:14:34,080
I'm forgetting something.

1428
01:14:34,080 --> 01:14:37,000
I forgot a promo code that's so exciting.

1429
01:14:37,000 --> 01:14:38,000
What a fun thing.

1430
01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:39,000
I know.

1431
01:14:39,000 --> 01:14:40,000
Okay.

1432
01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:52,000
So we would like to do a quick little promo slash shout out for a business that we love.

1433
01:14:52,000 --> 01:15:07,520
Nutmeg resin art and you can find her on Bonanza and on Etsy and it's nutmegstudiogifts.com.

1434
01:15:07,520 --> 01:15:11,080
Or it's nutmegstudiogifts.etsy.com.

1435
01:15:11,080 --> 01:15:12,080
Yes.

1436
01:15:12,080 --> 01:15:13,080
Yeah.

1437
01:15:13,080 --> 01:15:14,080
Thank you.

1438
01:15:14,080 --> 01:15:17,760
But we will also put the link in our bio on our Instagram.

1439
01:15:17,760 --> 01:15:18,880
Yes we will.

1440
01:15:18,880 --> 01:15:26,040
And she was also lovely and put in a promo code for any of our listeners.

1441
01:15:26,040 --> 01:15:34,360
It is stay curious all caps and you can get 15% off orders of $30 or more and she makes

1442
01:15:34,360 --> 01:15:36,600
lovely resin jewelry.

1443
01:15:36,600 --> 01:15:37,600
Yeah.

1444
01:15:37,600 --> 01:15:38,600
It's really beautiful.

1445
01:15:38,600 --> 01:15:46,000
A mutual friend of ours she had earrings and they were really unique looking and it was

1446
01:15:46,000 --> 01:15:47,160
part of her wedding bouquet.

1447
01:15:47,160 --> 01:15:48,920
So it's kind of like it's sentimental.

1448
01:15:48,920 --> 01:15:52,120
It's like you can keep things in resin and turn it into jewelry.

1449
01:15:52,120 --> 01:15:56,600
It could be anything like your favorite flower or something super sentimental.

1450
01:15:56,600 --> 01:15:58,440
And I was like what a good idea.

1451
01:15:58,440 --> 01:15:59,440
Yeah.

1452
01:15:59,440 --> 01:16:03,560
But she also has like things for like cat lovers and people who like pretty stars and

1453
01:16:03,560 --> 01:16:04,560
moons and.

1454
01:16:04,560 --> 01:16:06,800
Yes, didn't she have a little paw?

1455
01:16:06,800 --> 01:16:07,800
Cat paws.

1456
01:16:07,800 --> 01:16:08,800
Yes.

1457
01:16:08,800 --> 01:16:11,480
I will definitely have to get some of the cat paws.

1458
01:16:11,480 --> 01:16:12,480
I know.

1459
01:16:12,480 --> 01:16:15,320
We have to rep our little podcast cats.

1460
01:16:15,320 --> 01:16:16,320
Yes.

1461
01:16:16,320 --> 01:16:17,320
Our little babies.

1462
01:16:17,320 --> 01:16:19,600
And our nutmeg resin.

1463
01:16:19,600 --> 01:16:20,800
She's also on Bonanza.

1464
01:16:20,800 --> 01:16:27,280
So it's www.bonanza.com forward slash booths forward slash nutmeg underscore resin and

1465
01:16:27,280 --> 01:16:34,520
then of course the nutmegstudiogifts.etsy.com but then we will put those in our Instagram.

1466
01:16:34,520 --> 01:16:35,520
So you can see them.

1467
01:16:35,520 --> 01:16:36,520
Yes.

1468
01:16:36,520 --> 01:16:37,520
So you can join us with the resin.

1469
01:16:37,520 --> 01:16:38,520
The beautiful resin.

1470
01:16:38,520 --> 01:16:39,520
Go check her out.

1471
01:16:39,520 --> 01:16:40,520
She's great.

1472
01:16:40,520 --> 01:16:41,520
Yeah.

1473
01:16:41,520 --> 01:16:46,000
Is there anything you wanted to add before we wrap this up?

1474
01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:48,000
Um, I don't think so.

1475
01:16:48,000 --> 01:16:49,600
That was the only thing on my mind.

1476
01:16:49,600 --> 01:16:50,600
Yeah.

1477
01:16:50,600 --> 01:16:53,800
I'm glad you said that because I was there was something nagging the back of my brain

1478
01:16:53,800 --> 01:16:56,160
like there is something but you said it.

1479
01:16:56,160 --> 01:16:57,160
Thank you.

1480
01:16:57,160 --> 01:16:58,160
Way to go you.

1481
01:16:58,160 --> 01:16:59,160
I did it this time.

1482
01:16:59,160 --> 01:17:00,160
You did it this time.

1483
01:17:00,160 --> 01:17:07,960
Well, well on that note, uh, I'm, I'm Drew.

1484
01:17:07,960 --> 01:17:08,960
And I'm Olivia.

1485
01:17:08,960 --> 01:17:13,640
We're starting over and we're like and hello but also goodbye.

1486
01:17:13,640 --> 01:17:18,600
Um, but yeah, be careful on any kind of big large body of water.

1487
01:17:18,600 --> 01:17:19,880
The ocean is going to get you.

1488
01:17:19,880 --> 01:17:25,080
If you're not careful, the ocean is here to remind us to stay humble.

1489
01:17:25,080 --> 01:17:26,080
Don't get cocky.

1490
01:17:26,080 --> 01:17:27,080
Yeah.

1491
01:17:27,080 --> 01:17:32,800
If anyone tries to tell you no, you can't to your dreams, just say yes, we can.

1492
01:17:32,800 --> 01:17:33,800
Yes, we can.

1493
01:17:33,800 --> 01:17:35,240
Unless those dreams are murder.

1494
01:17:35,240 --> 01:17:36,240
That is my caveat.

1495
01:17:36,240 --> 01:17:37,240
Yeah.

1496
01:17:37,240 --> 01:17:39,000
Do not murder anyone, but also learn how to swim.

1497
01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:40,000
Yeah.

1498
01:17:40,000 --> 01:17:41,000
Important.

1499
01:17:41,000 --> 01:17:42,960
I mean, swimming is important in both of our stories.

1500
01:17:42,960 --> 01:17:44,680
So very much so.

1501
01:17:44,680 --> 01:17:48,040
Just, you know, if nothing else, a little doggy paddle might save you.

1502
01:17:48,040 --> 01:17:49,040
Right.

1503
01:17:49,040 --> 01:17:51,800
Actually, one of my favorite things is finding the correlation between both of our stories

1504
01:17:51,800 --> 01:17:56,200
because it's like, Hey, and usually it's something as simple as, Hey, people were

1505
01:17:56,200 --> 01:17:58,800
in water, but still it's fun.

1506
01:17:58,800 --> 01:17:59,800
It is fun.

1507
01:17:59,800 --> 01:18:00,800
Yeah.

1508
01:18:00,800 --> 01:18:06,520
Um, but other than that, I hope you guys stay healthy and be good and look out for each

1509
01:18:06,520 --> 01:18:08,520
other and take care of your brain.

1510
01:18:08,520 --> 01:18:09,520
Yeah.

1511
01:18:09,520 --> 01:18:12,560
And, uh, we love you.

1512
01:18:12,560 --> 01:18:13,560
We love you.

1513
01:18:13,560 --> 01:18:14,560
Good night.

1514
01:18:14,560 --> 01:18:16,560
Good, good bite.

1515
01:18:16,560 --> 01:18:17,560
Yeah.

1516
01:18:17,560 --> 01:18:18,560
Yeah.

1517
01:18:18,560 --> 01:18:19,560
Yeah.

1518
01:18:19,560 --> 01:18:20,560
Yeah.

1519
01:18:20,560 --> 01:18:21,560
Yeah.

1520
01:18:21,560 --> 01:18:22,560
Yeah.

1521
01:18:22,560 --> 01:18:23,560
Yeah.

1522
01:18:23,560 --> 01:18:24,560
Yeah.

1523
01:18:24,560 --> 01:18:25,560
Yeah.
