1
00:00:18.920 --> 00:00:21.960
Hello, everyone, I am Jeff and welcome to History and Factory.

2
00:00:22.079 --> 00:00:24.839
Is about today? Today is March the seventeenth, Now my

3
00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:27.519
co host today. She's just totally cool. Not only is

4
00:00:27.559 --> 00:00:29.640
she a Hall of Fame softball player, she's actually one

5
00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:31.920
of the greatest hitters of all time. Nowadays, she is

6
00:00:31.960 --> 00:00:33.960
so much more. It's gonna be fun to hear all

7
00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:35.719
about her. Lea, why don't you introduce yourself?

8
00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:39.799
Yeah, I'm Leah Amiko. I'm a three time Olympic gold

9
00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:44.359
medalist with USA Softball, a two time world champion with them,

10
00:00:44.679 --> 00:00:47.479
and I really got my big start in college at

11
00:00:47.479 --> 00:00:51.840
the University of Arizona, where I also won three national championships.

12
00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:54.679
And I am married to my husband Tommy for twenty

13
00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:57.719
six years, and I'm a mom of three young adult boys.

14
00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:00.600
You know, we got one wander that I think gets

15
00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:03.280
underrated pretty much, not just in softball, are you, but

16
00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:05.439
pretty much along. You were a three time All American

17
00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:06.680
academic too, weren't you?

18
00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:11.239
Yes, I was, And I actually loved telling people about

19
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:15.159
that because the school did not come as easy for me,

20
00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:17.120
and I had to work really, really hard. But I

21
00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:21.680
feel like that same effort and focused allowed me to

22
00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:23.359
really excel on the field when I was able to

23
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:25.040
do something that I was passionate about and I felt

24
00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:26.879
was a little bit more natural for me.

25
00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:29.599
So you just went one of those natural kids. You

26
00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:32.159
had to really work at it in softball, Oh, I.

27
00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:35.400
Had to work. I think I worked harder than most people.

28
00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:37.840
And there was just something inside of me that was like,

29
00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:40.519
I have to do my very best. I really want

30
00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:43.439
good results, and that just continued to drive me day

31
00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:44.000
after day.

32
00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:45.640
Still does too.

33
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:49.400
Yes, and everything I do, well, that's great.

34
00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:52.280
Notes. You know what alse happened on March seventeenth today,

35
00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:55.519
don't you. It's pretty obvious.

36
00:01:55.719 --> 00:01:57.640
Yes, I'm.

37
00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:06.719
The tiniest men that you have seen if you ever

38
00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:07.480
catch me.

39
00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:13.719
So it's told how good you might be taught of gold.

40
00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:18.479
Today is Saint Patrick's Day. Today we celebrate Saint Patrick

41
00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:21.759
and the arrival of Christianity into Ireland. See today also

42
00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:25.680
celebrates the high Irish heritage, their culture. You know, in general,

43
00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:28.560
it's basically the one of the biggest one day festivals

44
00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:30.639
in the world and pretty much every country celebrates it.

45
00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:33.080
See you pundering why do we wear green? Well, it

46
00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:35.800
makes you invisible to leprechauns. See leprechauns. They like to

47
00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:38.960
pinch people that they can actually see. So yeah, everybody's

48
00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:42.400
Irish today. The Catholic Church, they started recognizing Saint Patrick's

49
00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:45.400
Day back in sixteen eighty one, see March seventeenth. It

50
00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:48.240
usually falls during lint, and you can't drink during lint,

51
00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:50.520
so they thought just giving everybody a nice break for

52
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:51.960
one day and letting them all drink would be a

53
00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:54.639
good excuse. But the first Saint Patrick's Day, prey, it's

54
00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:57.439
actually older. The first Saint Patrick's Day Bread yeah, held

55
00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:00.360
then the Saint Augusta, Florida in sixteen oh one. Now

56
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:02.240
Sat Patrick Stakes always being a lot bigger in the

57
00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:04.960
United States than over in Ireland. Ireland they really didn't

58
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:07.000
celebrate it. But then in the nineteen seventies they were

59
00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:09.479
watching what was going on in the United States with

60
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:10.960
all the parades and party and they said, hey, we

61
00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:12.759
want to partake in that. So now they actually celebrate

62
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:15.439
Saint Patrick's Day in Ireland too. So yeah, I wish

63
00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:18.120
you all the best of the luckily Irish with you

64
00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:20.719
out today. So you're California girl, what took you down

65
00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:22.919
to Tucson for the UFA to play softball.

66
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:26.479
You know, the opportunity to get a college scholarship. I

67
00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:30.240
actually had Long Beach State, which was very close down

68
00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:33.319
the road, that asked me to come and offer me

69
00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:36.080
a scholarship as well. But I took one visit to

70
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:39.400
the University of Arizona in Tucson, and I absolutely fell

71
00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:42.719
in love with the campus, the athletes, the coaches, and

72
00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:44.360
I went to a football game and that was it.

73
00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:47.319
I just thought it was nothing like my southern California

74
00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:51.039
football games and honestly ended up being the biggest blessing.

75
00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:54.479
Ended up being really the best place for me. Everything

76
00:03:54.879 --> 00:03:57.280
in Tucson is surrounded around the university, so for us

77
00:03:57.360 --> 00:03:58.840
to be able to play and be one of the

78
00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:00.960
top teams in the country, Long Beach Stay at the

79
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:04.280
time was also top in the country. But I feel

80
00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:06.400
like in Tucson was where you got all the attention

81
00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:08.520
and it was really a great place to thrive.

82
00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:11.280
And you guys definitely did thrive, won three titles while

83
00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:14.319
you were there. Now it's been almost I don't want

84
00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:16.480
to date you or anything, but it's been almost thirty years.

85
00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:19.079
Do you still hold the highest batting average in the

86
00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:22.079
women's college Words series? I do.

87
00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:25.160
I hit seven to fifty. My sophomore year went nine

88
00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:28.319
for twelve, had a few walks, sack hits, and you know,

89
00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:30.959
I think back to like, I don't even know how

90
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:33.560
that happened. It was the best experience ever. And the

91
00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:38.279
fact that it has remained for three decades is really insane.

92
00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:42.720
Man, you talk about being in the zone, right, that

93
00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:45.560
might be one of those what he got work that

94
00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:49.519
Joe Demajio fifty six game hitting streaks, that's almost unattainable. Thenbody,

95
00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:53.079
don't want air embarrass you there, but you did good?

96
00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:57.000
Yeah, No, I honestly I think back and actually I

97
00:04:57.079 --> 00:04:59.040
didn't even know it until many years later when I

98
00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:01.639
was working at the women College World Series calling radio,

99
00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:04.920
and I saw records book and it outlined every year,

100
00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:06.680
and I did not realize that three out of my

101
00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:10.560
four years there I actually led in batting average at

102
00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:12.839
the Women's College World Series. So three out of four

103
00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:15.959
I was hitting over five hundred, and obviously that included

104
00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:17.040
the seven to fifty mark.

105
00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:20.240
And that is incredible. All right, let's see happen in

106
00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:22.959
entertainment on March seventeenth, It's back to your nineteen ninety

107
00:05:23.319 --> 00:05:25.839
The number one album was Forever Your Girl by Paula Abdell.

108
00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:50.519
Jennet Jackson had the number one song with Escapade. Raddy

109
00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:52.959
Travis had the number one country song with hard Rock

110
00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:54.079
Bottom of My Heart.

111
00:05:54.519 --> 00:06:04.519
I Keep Waiting you too? Did you keep saying? Kny Star?

112
00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:08.639
Hell up these logging star.

113
00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:13.639
To.

114
00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:21.560
The number one book was The Burn Ultimatum by Robert Lendlham.

115
00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:23.839
The top movie was The Hunt for the Red October.

116
00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:26.839
The Soviet's best submarine captain. He heads for the United

117
00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:30.040
States and an undetectable submarine. Now the United States has

118
00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:32.279
to figure out if he's detected, defecting, or he wants

119
00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:35.199
to start a war. Stars Sean Connery, Alec Baldwin and

120
00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:38.839
James Earl Jones twenty fifteen at a St. Patrick's Date

121
00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:41.839
concert over in Brussels, Belgium, the band The Script. They

122
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:44.199
bought all eight thousand people at the concert to drink

123
00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:46.879
so according to the Guinness Book of World's Records, that

124
00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:50.759
is the largest round ever paid for. So do you

125
00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:53.000
do any coaching and clinics and that kind of stuff?

126
00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:59.120
I for so long had done clinics around the entire country.

127
00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:03.199
I do a full here and there now actually coach internationally.

128
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:07.040
I coach team Israel, the junior national team. So this

129
00:07:07.160 --> 00:07:09.920
summer I'll be in Spain with them and as well

130
00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:13.399
as in Vancouver, so a lot of opportunities to continue

131
00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:15.879
to share the game. And actually I'm also taking a

132
00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:18.879
cruise in August. I'm out of New York with softball

133
00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:21.639
players that want to come and cruise and play some softball.

134
00:07:22.040 --> 00:07:27.000
Well that sounds fun, So I'm betting is the biggest

135
00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:29.439
question you get for Well, I guess it transfers to

136
00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:31.480
the boys too. How do you keep the kids from

137
00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:32.360
being afraid of the ball?

138
00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:35.040
Oh?

139
00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:37.000
Gosh, you know what I tell them? Because I actually

140
00:07:37.040 --> 00:07:38.839
had an athlete a long time ago I worked with

141
00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:41.439
and the main thing that I did was I got

142
00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:43.560
her thinking all the things she was trying to do.

143
00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:45.800
And if she's thinking about what she's trying to do,

144
00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:48.879
she's not as worried about what she doesn't want to happen.

145
00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:50.879
And so all of a sudden, she went from this

146
00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:53.720
athlete who was jumping away on every single pitch to

147
00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:55.399
becoming the best hitter on her team.

148
00:07:56.040 --> 00:07:58.600
Well, that have really good advice there. All right, let's

149
00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:01.279
see what happened in March seventeen h There is more

150
00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:04.439
to Saint Patrick's day than from March seventeenth and White

151
00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:08.120
Air say, it just so happens that you have the Catholics.

152
00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:10.199
They use it to drink. But a sixteen year old

153
00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:13.959
boy who'd become Saint Patrick, he was captured by Irish pirates. Yeah,

154
00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:15.839
he was in his hometown in Great Britain. They'd throw

155
00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:17.360
him on a boat and took him over to Ireland.

156
00:08:17.800 --> 00:08:19.680
So he was sold as a slave. When he got there,

157
00:08:19.720 --> 00:08:21.519
he worked six years before he was able to escape.

158
00:08:21.839 --> 00:08:24.480
When he went home, he became a priest and then

159
00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:26.800
a bishop. Then he returned to Ireland. He wanted to

160
00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:30.720
teach that pagan country all about Christianity. Then Saint Patrick

161
00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:38.360
he died on March seventeenth and for sixty one. You

162
00:08:38.440 --> 00:08:40.759
know anything else that happened in England in like eighteen

163
00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:42.960
forty five, I.

164
00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:44.960
Thought you were going to do a clip fork. In

165
00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:49.360
eighteen forty five in London, England, Stephen Perry invented the

166
00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:53.559
rubber band. That is something that's helped us a lot.

167
00:08:53.759 --> 00:08:56.320
That's a bigger invention than you might have got. In

168
00:08:56.440 --> 00:09:00.360
eighteen ninety eight, off the coast of Staten Island, John

169
00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:06.440
Philip Hollands successfully tested the world's first modern submarine. It

170
00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:11.600
stayed submerged for one hour and forty minutes. And then

171
00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:15.399
in nineteen fifty, scientists at the University of California announced

172
00:09:15.440 --> 00:09:22.440
they had discovered the elephant. Elephant, no sorry. And then

173
00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:25.919
in nineteen fifty, scientists at the University of California announced

174
00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:30.080
they had discovered the element California. It's number ninety eight

175
00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:33.879
on your periodic table. It's radioactive and man made, the

176
00:09:34.039 --> 00:09:37.919
second heaviest of all the elements and the most expensive.

177
00:09:38.240 --> 00:09:41.840
It costs twenty seven million a gram. They only can

178
00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:43.240
make half a gram a year.

179
00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:44.440
What can it be used for?

180
00:09:44.960 --> 00:09:48.559
Detecting oil and water levels in oil wells and detecting

181
00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:52.559
metal fatigueing airplanes, So basically nothing you can't do manually

182
00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:53.440
for a lot less.

183
00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:56.720
Yeah, that's a lot of money for a rock. I guess.

184
00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:00.840
Nineteen fifty eight, the United States they lunch. Their second

185
00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:03.720
satellite in this space was the Vanguard one. It was

186
00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:05.679
to measure the shape of the Earth. Now, get this,

187
00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:08.679
that's it was only six inches across, but it was

188
00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:11.200
the first satellite that was powered by the Sun. Now

189
00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:13.480
it went silent in nineteen sixty four, but still up

190
00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:16.159
there just circling around us, waiting to fall the earth.

191
00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:18.039
I think they think it'll be about tw hundred and

192
00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:20.919
fifty years before it comes down. Now, this story, it

193
00:10:21.039 --> 00:10:22.960
just cracks me up. For some reason, I just think

194
00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:25.759
it sounds so funny. In twenty twenty in Africa, over

195
00:10:25.879 --> 00:10:29.039
one thousand cows arrived on the Angola border. See, they

196
00:10:29.080 --> 00:10:31.480
came from the country of Chad. Chad decided they were

197
00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:33.279
going to start paying Angola back the one hundred million

198
00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:34.120
dollars that they owed them.

199
00:10:34.799 --> 00:10:38.120
Bop dop doped.

200
00:10:38.840 --> 00:10:42.200

202
00:10:45.559 --> 00:10:48.960
shive birthday and you know we don't give birthday.

203
00:10:49.759 --> 00:10:51.639
Yeah, we'll get I hit that button a little early

204
00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:54.279
before we talk about birthdays. You got something really cool

205
00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:57.799
called the gold Standard. You want to tell us about that? Yeah.

206
00:10:57.840 --> 00:11:00.320
I've been speaking for a lot of years and really

207
00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:02.840
just would answer the call when people say, hey, can

208
00:11:02.919 --> 00:11:05.759
you come speak to our team, our organization, our company,

209
00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:09.440
our league, And I really would just say, what's my audience?

210
00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:11.799
Who I want to talk to? But more recently, as

211
00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:14.960
I've continued to have more and more engagements and opportunities.

212
00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:16.919
I realized that what is my branding, what is the

213
00:11:17.080 --> 00:11:19.720
main message? Then, no matter where I go, I want

214
00:11:19.799 --> 00:11:22.279
to make sure to include and I've titled that the

215
00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:24.639
gold Standard. I wrote a book on it called the

216
00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:27.279
Gold Standard Fourteen Ways to Live a Life of Excellence.

217
00:11:27.360 --> 00:11:29.720
And really the key behind it is that every single

218
00:11:29.759 --> 00:11:32.679
one of us has the opportunity every single day to

219
00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:36.080
make an impact, especially when we show up as our best.

220
00:11:36.279 --> 00:11:39.039
And I realized that I had talent in my sport.

221
00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:41.320
I would not have become an Olympian without it, but

222
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:43.720
more than that, especially at the higher levels, I was

223
00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:47.759
outmatched in talent many times with speed, power, but never

224
00:11:47.879 --> 00:11:51.320
with heart, passion, hard work, attitude. And so I talk

225
00:11:51.399 --> 00:11:54.840
a lot about the choices that we make to lead

226
00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:57.559
to excellence, and you know, it's really about the journey,

227
00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:01.879
really focusing on what you are doing and allowing the

228
00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:03.799
results to take care of themselves. And so for me,

229
00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:06.559
the Gold Standards all about excellence, but it's about choice

230
00:12:06.679 --> 00:12:08.840
based and how we can give our best.

231
00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:10.879
That is really cool. So what do you do with

232
00:12:10.919 --> 00:12:12.720
your three gold medals? Are they in a display case

233
00:12:12.799 --> 00:12:13.120
or something?

234
00:12:14.519 --> 00:12:17.840
They are not? I keep them tucked away safely, and

235
00:12:17.960 --> 00:12:20.120
then when I'm on the road and i'm speaking, I

236
00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:23.240
allow everyone to see them and hold them and wear them.

237
00:12:23.320 --> 00:12:25.879
Many times, I think my medals have been around more

238
00:12:25.960 --> 00:12:29.399
next then I don't know most people, they have been

239
00:12:29.519 --> 00:12:31.679
all over the country, they've been all over the world.

240
00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:34.200
And for me, that's that's part of the fun, is

241
00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:36.639
sharing them. Most people say, I've never seen a gold medal.

242
00:12:36.639 --> 00:12:39.360
I've never touched a gold medal, and I love sharing

243
00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:40.399
it with people of all ages.

244
00:12:40.919 --> 00:12:43.879
It is cool. I mean, if you have you're basically

245
00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:45.519
your If there is the gold standard, it's nice to

246
00:12:45.559 --> 00:12:47.799
have a free gold medal sitting there going around your

247
00:12:47.879 --> 00:12:48.159
neck too.

248
00:12:49.279 --> 00:12:51.559
Yeah, that helps, That helps give me a little credibility.

249
00:12:52.440 --> 00:12:54.360
All right, let's go back to some birthdays. Let's see

250
00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:55.559
what Nat King Cole was doing.

251
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:00.840

different options and views of different things that I've been

399
00:21:20.359 --> 00:21:22.920
a part of. Just one of the things that I've

400
00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:25.680
always laughed at is I was very versatile as an athlete.

401
00:21:25.720 --> 00:21:29.119
I played one year as a picture at Arizona, then

402
00:21:29.160 --> 00:21:32.680
two years in centerfield. In my last year as first

403
00:21:32.759 --> 00:21:36.759
baseman Olympics, I played two in rifled and one at

404
00:21:36.799 --> 00:21:39.119
first base, and so moved around a lot. And I'm

405
00:21:39.240 --> 00:21:41.200
also versatile in all the different things that I do

406
00:21:41.319 --> 00:21:41.599
as well.

407
00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:44.920

you know she's smart too. Listen to so you gonna

409
00:21:48.279 --> 00:21:49.960
do any celebrating on Saint Patrick's Day.

410
00:21:51.720 --> 00:21:53.799
You know what, I'm actually going to be home with

411
00:21:53.920 --> 00:21:56.400
my family. We might, you know, might have to just

412
00:21:56.680 --> 00:21:58.680
make some green eggs and ham or something like that.

413
00:21:58.839 --> 00:22:01.920
I'm not really sure. But you know, it's funny because

414
00:22:02.200 --> 00:22:04.960
I actually went out to a tournament locally here at Fullerton,

415
00:22:05.359 --> 00:22:08.440
and I remember in college that was always when Saint

416
00:22:08.480 --> 00:22:11.039
Patrick's Day fell, was when I was playing and competing,

417
00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:12.720

418
00:22:13.200 --> 00:22:17.279

419
00:22:17.279 --> 00:22:20.039
the Saint Patrick's Day we probably know. It's in Ireland now.

420
00:22:20.079 --> 00:22:22.960
It's called Shawn's Bar. It's actually eleven hundred years old.

421
00:22:23.039 --> 00:22:26.480
It was back made back in the nine hundreds. Now

422
00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:29.279
let's have our quote of the day. It is by

423
00:22:29.440 --> 00:22:32.039
the man himself, Saint Patrick's. He said, the Lord is

424
00:22:32.079 --> 00:22:35.160
the greatest of all. I have said enough. You know what, Lea,
