over the next three months it sold over one hundred
46
00:03:11.199 --> 00:03:13.840
and twenty thousand copies. Now, if you'd take into account
47
00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:15.800
the number of people who lived in the colonies at

TV commercial starting eighty one year old Clara Beller. Now,
77
00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:43.639
Wendy's sales went up thirty one percent. That makes it
78
00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:47.160
one of the most successful advertising campaigns in history. Now,
79
00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:49.120
Clara's you got paid three hundred and seventeen dollars and
80
00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:51.079

170
00:09:40.679 --> 00:10:03.000
twenty four. Pat Benatar she's seventy three. Born in Brooklyn,
171
00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:05.559
New York, in nineteen fifty three. Now, she was born
172
00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:09.000
Patricia Andrew Juski. She got the name Bennatar from her
173
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:11.399
first husband. They were a high school sweetheart's got married
174
00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:15.240
after high school. After seven years. They divorced later that year. Yeah,
175
00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:17.320
she hit really big. It's kind of had to keep
176
00:10:17.320 --> 00:10:20.399
the name of Bennetar then. Now it's kind of hard
177
00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:22.039
for me to believe that her only number one song
178
00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:24.159
is actually love is a battlefield that what I thought
179
00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:26.519
it had been a different one. She sold over thirty
180
00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:28.440
five million albums. She's in the Rock and Roll Hall
181
00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:31.080
of Fame now. Even though she is a solo artist,
182
00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:33.200
she's pretty much had the same band they ever since
183
00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:36.000
she started in nineteen seventy nine. Well, in nineteen eighty
184
00:10:36.039 --> 00:10:38.879
two she did marry her guitar player. They have two daughters.
185
00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:39.720
Now.
186
00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:41.960
She replaced him as a guitars player. Yeah, he's into
187
00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:44.080
management now, but now that the girls are older and
188
00:10:44.120 --> 00:10:46.480
he didn't have to really babysit them. Yeah, he goes
189
00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:49.039
on stage and plays again. Pad She's gonna go out
190
00:10:49.080 --> 00:10:50.519
and do some shows so you can see the both
191
00:10:50.519 --> 00:11:16.559
of them starting on January the twenty sixth, Sean Colvin.
192
00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:19.440
She was born in Vermilion, South Dakota, in nineteen fifty six,
193
00:11:19.919 --> 00:11:22.480
makes her seventy years old today. She's won a couple
194
00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:25.360
Grammy Awards. Some of her hits are steady on. I
195
00:11:25.399 --> 00:11:28.679
don't know why Sonny came home, Sean. She is gonna
196
00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:30.360
be doing some shows in March. I'm gonna go check
197
00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:33.080
her out. She has twice divorced, and between those two
198
00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:35.639
marriages she had a daughter. Sean. She had a lot
199
00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:38.480
of trouble. She struggled with anxiety, depression, and alcohol. But
200
00:11:38.559 --> 00:12:03.600
she's also completed several triathlonsh Brent Smith. He is the
201
00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:06.200
lead singer for the band Shine Down forty eight today.
202
00:12:06.559 --> 00:12:09.240
Born in Knoxville, Tennessee, in nineteen seventy eight, he formed
203
00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:12.200
Shined Down in two thousand and one. Now their songs
204
00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:14.879
have been streamed four point five billion times. That's most
205
00:12:14.919 --> 00:12:17.440
by any rock band. Some of those songs are saved
206
00:12:17.480 --> 00:12:20.440
me Second Chance if you only knew cut the cord.
207
00:12:21.279 --> 00:12:23.279
Now they have their own hot sauce that they're peddling
208
00:12:23.320 --> 00:12:25.279
out there. Yeah they're not even really. I mean, he
209
00:12:25.320 --> 00:12:27.399
would think being a celebrity hot sauce would be really high.
210
00:12:27.679 --> 00:12:29.840
That's like nine bucks or something like that. They're called
211
00:12:29.879 --> 00:12:33.399
the Shine Down Hot Saucers. Now, Brent, he really struggled
212
00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:35.320
with drugs now calling his way. Yeah, I hate a
213
00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:36.879
lot of trouble so much. They finally they had an
214
00:12:36.919 --> 00:12:39.759
intervention for him. Looks like it worked. He is now
215
00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:42.679
claim he's sober, he exercises daily, and he's lost a
216
00:12:42.679 --> 00:12:45.200
whole bunch of weight, so good for him. He has
217
00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:49.200
a son from a former fiancee. Alrighty. Our quote of
