Nov 12th-Happy Hour, The Broncos Salute, Grace Kelly, Neil Young, Blue Oyster Cult, Ryan Gosling, Anne Hathaway

0:19 3-R-O-N-G-O-S S-O-U S-O-U S-O-U 3-R-O-N-G-O-S hello everyone i am jeff and welcome to history and factoids about today today's november the 12th now that clip you just heard that i played yeah it's the denver bronco fight song called the bronco salute it was created by my co-host today it's kind of international and everything richie why don't you introduce yourself to everyone.

1:02 Hello i'm richie cook i am the author of the bronco salute uh we created it uh early 2005 and then uh Kind of released it shortly after. Had to make some corrections, so we released it twice, actually. So you had some co-workers with you? Yeah. Just having fun? Absolutely. Well, people who play Madden, they could have heard it. How in the heck did you get on Madden? You know, EA reached out to me. They reached out to me on LinkedIn in March of last year and asked me to license the song. They wanted to create authentic entrances for each team. And we had written the fight song for the Denver Broncos. And so it kind of worked out, especially for the parachute entrance there. And so they kind of created a thunderstorm atmosphere as the parachuters were entering. and then sink the Broncos salute to all of the background states, sounds of the stadium. And I was, well, let's say we were, my producer and I, Danny, were overwhelmed. It was one of the coolest experiences we had.

2:30 And they just reached out to us about continuing for Madden 28. That is just so cool. Yeah. We're still waiting on that contract too. Yeah. just getting on madam as a player is a big deal and then have your song on there that's why that's almost as. Big yeah yeah super. Neat uh so do you have to go out and buy madden real quick just to hear. It you know that's the funny thing uh neither of us play video games neither of us even have a console and uh and so i i have been relying on uh friends and really kind of fans of the game to kind of reach out and tell me what it's like so i've had to kind of just google other people's uh responses to the uh game entrances to to even see it at all um although ea did send us a demo initially before they had uh released it which was very nice of them um especially because i let them know i was like hey i don't have the game.

3:32 Well it's it's gone worldwide right i mean you have people listening to it all over it. Is yeah it's worldwide now it's got a 8.3 million listeners, and that's TikTok only. I don't have the metrics for the other social media platforms, but we're seeing it transcribe into our distributor stats as well, which is really neat to see it grow. And we're seeing a lot of fans chanting it, a lot of chant videos. It hasn't quite made its way to the stadium yet. That is the ultimate goal. Um, you have to, you have to really do a lot to get there. And, uh, we've definitely made some mistakes along the way too, especially, uh, we kind of jumped into, you know, it's, uh, you know, flight paramedic with the coast guard. And, uh, uh, I had never done social media marketing before, especially sports, social media marketing. So I thought I was clever when I was initially starting and I was just kind of stuck.

4:41 taking other people's videos and reposting them with my song. Uh, but then I, I learned that that's stealing. And, uh, so then we had to, uh, kind of hire out, uh, an actual marketer that can do it. Uh, which was, uh, yeah. Unfortunate way to learn. That, but. Yeah. So you have been trying to contact the Waltons if you don't know, they own the Broncos. Yeah, so we contacted the Waltons early on. And, you know, early on, I think it was just kind of a fan song that they had paid attention to. The Waltons reached out and said they believed it was inappropriate for ownership to trump the actual Broncos marketing staff and that they were going to allow the staff to do that on their own. And so we've been in contact with them for a while. And, um, uh, I think, I think we're just, we're just increasing the, basically the advice we got was keep going. Uh, let's, let's keep growing the fan base for the song. Let's keep getting the chant videos. Um, EA was a massive help for us. And, uh, we've got nothing, nothing but great things to say about working with EA and, Um, their sync licensing, um, uh, agencies,

6:12 our agents, I apologize. Um, and, um, all of their, uh, producers and, and every, I mean, to us, they've been a fantastic organization. Well, it sounds like they're a top notch place anyway. Yeah. So are you a Colorado guy? I am. Uh, so I've been in Colorado for a very long time. Um, I'm originally from Jersey, which is, uh, actually how the fight song created some from South Jersey, uh, Broncos fans from South Jersey. Um, they kind of grew up around the Eagles and everywhere we went was, uh, you know, E A G L E S Eagles. And then if you went a little bit North in Jersey, then you would get J E T S jets, jets, jets. And, uh, you know, so my, my pops was, uh, uh, Broncos fan, you know? And so, uh, you know, he would just walk around the house, just kind of going B R O N C O S. And it was just kind of like a fun thing. And, uh, so in the middle of writing an album, uh, I showed up to the studio unprepared and, uh, I talked to my studio manager and, uh, we were like, we were just talking about the Broncos and the Eagles and all the other, uh, chance and chance were big too. Uh, because the, uh, soccer was coming around for the world cup, you know, this is in 2025. So it was coming up the following year. So we were talking about all the soccer

7:42 chance as well. And then we decided let's, let's write the Broncos a fight song. And, uh, we, we wanted to write the mile high salute, which was, you know, the staple of Denver, Terrell Davis, uh, created it in 1997 with the salute gesture to the fans and to the, and to service. And, uh, so we said, let's write the mile high salute. And, uh, mile high salute we couldn't title it because it's owned otherwise so we called it the bronco salute but it's otherwise mile high broncos salute salute salute and so uh we wrote the mile high salute called it the bronco salute to give them the uh the ownership of the name and uh team reference and um uh so i i guess i got you know kind of to thank my dad for being a a dork walking around. Yeah.

8:38 Those Philly and jets fans, man, you might get your bug kit. Yeah. Yeah. It's a, I didn't advertise it down there. All right. We're going to get into this more and we are doing veterans this week and Richie is a Coast Guard veteran. So we're going to talk to him about that later. But today is not only during our veterans week anyway, but his last show. Well, let's just celebrate. Today is National Happy Hour Day. Do you like happy hour?

9:30 I love. I'm currently having a beverage. There you go. Now, people, they've been getting together for drinks after work for a long time. But it was actually, are the Coast Guard and Navy rivals or are they friends? Who's that? The Coast Guard and the Navy. Are you guys rivals or are you friends? Oh, they're always rivals. Yeah, we're always friends, but we're always rivals first. Well, the Navy, they get credit for actually creating happy hour. It was in 1913. They would actually try and blow off all the steam and all. That. So, after a long day's work on the ship, they would have boxing matches, dancing, drinking booze, and eating junk food and that kind of stuff. But it was against regulations. Yeah, you couldn't have any booze on the ships. So they had to sneak it on, but when they do happy hour at the end of every day, yeah, the officers would just kind of look the other direction back then. Well, they heard what the Navy is doing, and it spread to shore, and it's been popular ever since. Kind of good.

10:24 You get drink specials. You get cheap food and appetizers and that kind of thing. So that's how happy hour came to be. That's incredible. I actually never knew that. We'll give them the W. We'll give the Navy the W this time. Okay. I don't know if I want to have boxing axes on the ship with a beard. Yeah. That was the old days. None of that stuff is allowed anymore. Yeah. A little more stern. Yeah. Okay. So, you know, you are a Bronco fan, obviously. I am. Diehard Broncos fan. So what's your prediction for this year? I mean, they're starting off pretty damn good.

11:08 You know, I can't help but say it. I think Denver, this is the second year with the song in Denver. And the first year they went from almost dead last to, uh, first, uh, you know, they were 10 at two at one point. And then, um, uh, I forget what the final was. Was it. Well, Oh, when they lost in the AFC championship. Game, the 13 and four, I can't remember what they, they landed on, but, uh, when they were, they were one play, they were one, one call away from the super bowl there and beating the, and getting beat by the Patriots. And this year, after the crazy start they had playing the Rams, you know, playing the 49ers, playing the Chiefs twice, they've had the hardest schedule to start, and they are now 6-2. And I can't help but say I think they're a Super Bowl team.

12:15 Yeah, probably not a lot of Kansas City Chiefs fans listening today. I'm going to have to apologize to Kansas City today. That's okay. I play enough Taylor Swift in other shows, so you guys can have the Broncos today. Okay, now let's go back. So is it from being back in back East that got you in the Coast Guard? Yeah, so I joined the Coast Guard in 2008 and then I was in the Coast Guard until 2019, almost 2020, where I had landed in Denver kind of permanently after 2019 and was there and have been there ever since.

13:03 Well, I guess we're glad to have you. You came up with a fight song and everything for us. I love Denver. I haven't been to a better city in this country, and I've been to a lot of them. All right, let's see what happened on November the 12th back in 2006 in entertainment. Hannah Montana, her soundtrack was the number one album. Justin Timberlake had the number one song with My Love. I can see us holding hands, walking on the beach, our toes in the sand. I can see us on the countryside, sitting on the grassland side by side. You could be my baby, let me make you my lady. Girl, you amaze me, you gotta do nothing crazy. See, all I want you to do is be my love.

13:46 Carrie Underwood had the number one country song with Before He Cheats. Yeah. The number one selling book was Dear John by Nicholas Sparks. The top movie was Borat. A TV host from overseas comes to the United States to report on the greatest country in the world. Stars Sacha Baron Cohen, Ken Davidson, and Lunel. So you said that you came up with the, well, you actually got it going in the record studio. So you're in the record and music business?

14:32 I am, yeah. So I've got a 14-song album I've been working on for about two years. It's pretty fun. It's all Denver related or it's all Colorado related. Essentially, we've got a song called the Voodoo Ranger. We've got a song for the Western Stock Show. We've got a song about Denver, Colorado. We've got another song about Estes Park. And so everything is tied into Colorado in some way, every song on the album, except for one. We do have one for Kodiak, Alaska for no reason. So you can take over for john denver and he was way before your time though.

15:15 He was yeah i i'm a big fan of john denver but he was before my time. He was actually from nebraska. Was he really i did not know that changed his name just assume yeah. So when let's go back and do a little bit about the coast guard what did you do when you're in the coast guard. I was a health services technician, second class. I was about to make first class before I separated to try to finish pre-med and try to apply to med school, which is still my goal. I'm still trying to go to med school here. Then I was a paramedic. I became a paramedic while I was in on my own time and then became a flight paramedic. I got to work in Kodiak, Alaska. I got to work in Cape May, New Jersey. Got to bounce around. Was in Africa. Got to deal with Ebola virus. Some of the airports. It was a really great time. Coast Guard is the love of my life. And I've never... I've missed it every second that I've been out.

16:23 You're back at school, too. I am, yeah. Finished pre-med there at. Still. Still got a couple classes to do, but at CU Denver. And then hopefully one day before I'm 137 years old, I can apply to medical school. That's the ultimate goal, huh? Yeah. You've already toured the world. I've been around, yeah. I've seen a lot of it. A lot of the... Still have never been to Europe. Oh, okay. Well, it doesn't sound like you're missing much nowadays, huh? That's what I hear, yeah. Is there a country over there you'd like to go?

17:06 I'd like to... Oh, in Europe? Yeah. Oh, no, just anywhere. Yeah, I'd like to go back to Cape Town, South Africa. I love surfing. Cape Town is the most beautiful place. And I love South Africa. I love Africa in general. It's just... I think a lot of people don't go. I think everybody should. It's just an amazing place. The whole continent is amazing. Oh, God. Let's see what happened. I'm following the canoe right now. Oh. All right. Let's see what happened in history on November the 12th. It was back to 1859 over in Paris, France. Jules Lyotard. He performed the first circus trapeze act. Yeah, nobody had ever done it before. He even designed his own costume.

17:50 He called it the Lyotard. Now, those first Lyotards that came out, they were in wool. Today, they're in spandex. In Australia. Yeah. I have not been to Australia. No, I would love to. It looks beautiful. Did you ever fly kites as a kid? Oh, yeah. I might have been one of the OGs. 1895 in Australia. Lawrence Hargrove, he invented the box kite. He just connected four boxes together, and then he was able to get them off the ground. He was able to fly it. He used piano wire. Now, box kites, they are a lot harder to fly than just your regular kites. Box kites, they'll go like five times higher.

18:33 Box kites, too? Mm-hmm. Wow. In 1933, over in Scotland, Hugh Gray, he took the first photograph of the Loch Ness Monster. Now, Photoshop, it won't be invented for another 60 years, so it has to be true, right? You know, it's an out-of-focus picture of him and his dog carrying a stick. It's got to be true. It's got to be. I'm a believer. I'm a believer. In 1942, President Franklin Roosevelt, he changed the age that men could be drafted into the military from 20 to 18, and he raised the age on how old they could be when they were drafted. He upped it from 35 to 44. So did the Coast Guard give you the discipline and everything you needed as a young man?

19:16 It did, yeah. I'm glad I made that decision. Had it not been for the Coast Guard, I probably would still be late to work all the time. That's what I think. You ever spend any time up in New York City? Well, we were up there, but you know where Ellis Island is, obviously. Oh, yeah. In 1954, that immigration station, it closed. They just outed dated and they weren't sending the immigrants through there anymore. 12 million immigrants actually passed through Ellis Island since it opened in 1892. The first to go through Ellis Island, 15-year-old girl named Annie Moore. She was from Ireland. September 12th at exactly 10.04 p.m., lightning, it struck the clock tower in a town called Hill Valley.

20:03 And we know that because it stopped right there. Doc Brown and Marty McFly knew what happened. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Yeah. My grandparents went through Ellis Island. Oh, did they? Yeah. Yeah. The, the cooks, uh, were, um, it was, uh, uh, Kako. So it was a COCCO, um, out of Italy. And then my grandmother was Irish. Um, they were the Murrays. And so they both, they both went through Ellis Island and, and met here in the States, right in Jersey. Well, that's a cool story. Yeah. Yeah. It's, uh, I know how to get in trouble in Italian. I know that.

20:46 Might not always know what you did, but you know you're in trouble for it. That's right. In 1966, Buzz Aldrin, he took the first selfie from space. He was out there doing a spacewalk. You can see it with him, and then he has the Earth in the background. So all you people who like to send me selfies of yourself. Now, if you can include the Earth in the background, yeah, I wouldn't mind looking at those. And what today is Bangladesh in 1970. that tropical Cylon Bolo, it may land. Killed over 500,000 people. It's the deadliest tropical cyclone in history. You have to deal with a lot of natural disasters when you're in the Coast Guard? I did, yeah. So I came in not long after Katrina, but then I was there for the BP oil disaster down in the Gulf. I was there for the Ebola virus scare. I was there for Several hurricanes. Hurricane Sandy was a big one. And yeah, a lot of them.

21:52 Especially the paramedic, they needed you. Yeah. So have you heard from any of the players or anybody within the organization that doesn't have a say in it about hearing your song? You know, I haven't, but I haven't reached out at all. I do see the players like and follow my content, follow the song on social media occasionally. So I know they're aware of it, but I haven't reached out to them at all. I've kind of let them and the Broncos be until they're kind of ready for me. Well, I know a lot of the players, they love playing Madden, so they have to hear the song.

22:34 Yeah, for sure they're aware of it. That's like them. That's kind of like how they spend most of the time. I think I saw like 80% of the NFL players play Madden. Really? I didn't know that. Yeah. That's good to know for sure. And they said 99% actually go to check themselves out. So even like the ones who don't play it, I got to go see what I'm doing. Oh, yeah. See what their player ratings are. Yeah. I know PDST has been seeking that 99%. He'll get it eventually. I think he said that verbatim. But he'll get it. As long as he stays healthy.

23:15 Yeah, that's how we need him back. And, you know, we're 6-2, and that's been without him as well. We had him for a couple games. So we're going to get the best cornerback in the league back at 6-2. Yeah. And it's kind of nice this year that his counterpart on the other side, Riley Moss, isn't getting called for interference every two plays. Correct, yeah. England in 1974. A salmon was caught in the Thames River. The last time somebody caught a salmon in the Thames River? 1833. In 1988, the world's first commercial bungee company opened up for business. In New Zealand. You ever go bungee jumping?

23:57 I have not, no. I've jumped out of helicopters. several times in my life but otherwise afraid of heights i'm afraid of a commercial plane all right that's right the more time goes on the more i've watched the news the more i'm even more afraid of them. That's why you like boats yeah big fan yeah well i mean they might sink but then you can swim you can't really swim when the airplane falls out of the air. Yeah that's uh yeah you're just trapped when you're up there i'm not a huge fan. Do you think you might come up with some, any more novel, not novelty, but you know what I mean? Those novelty songs that people come up with, think you'll come up with any more for the Broncos?

24:42 Look, I've got a lot, but there's also other, uh, there's also other good artists out there for the Broncos. Uh, Taye Silvers, who made a song orange and orange and blue, uh, for the Broncos. And I'm, I'm a huge fan of that. Um, those are, uh, you know, more hype songs for the Broncos. Um, but, uh, you know, I, I wrote a fight song, which is a little bit different, a little more kind of cheerleader built, um, a little more spelling out the team, uh, very brief one minute song. But, uh, some of these other artists are making songs that, uh, I get, you know, a little bit jealous of.

25:23 So you always been into music? Yeah, I've been a musician for, I don't know, since I was a little kid. I learned how to play, started taking guitar lessons when I was four, and I wasn't allowed to touch the guitar in those lessons until I learned how to play the piano, which was obviously frustrating when I was a kid. Sure. And so I learned the piano, then I got to play the guitar, and then eventually my A private music teacher told my dad that I was more interested in the tricks and meeting girls than I was in learning music. And so my dad stopped paying for it. And then I just took it over from there.

26:07 Oh, that's kind of every boy. Yeah. All right. I'm going to play another quick clip of the fight song. Then we'll do birthdays. Sound cool? Beautiful. All right. Actress Princess Grace Kelly.

26:50 She was born in Philadelphia in 1929. She was one of the top actresses in Hollywood in the 1950s. She won an Oscar. 26 years old, she gave it all up. She wanted to become a real-life princess. She married Prince Rainier of Monaco. Spent the rest of her life as a princess. They had two daughters and one son in 1982. Didn't know this. For her to marry the prince just because of the, what would you call it, constitutional whatever, her family had to come up with $ 2 million for a dowry. What? Yeah, and he was the one who was moving. He married up, even though he had money. My family would have been like, I don't think we're marrying princesses.

27:32 Exactly. In 1982, Grace, she had a small stroke while she was driving her car and crashed it. Yeah, killed her, 52 years old. I have no idea why a princess would be driving her own car. Okay. Now, after she married Prince Rainier, after she paid her $ 2 million dowry, He banned all her movies from being shown in Monaco. He couldn't do it at all. See, in her movies, she always had a good-looking leading man, and he didn't like that. I'm impressed by your preparation. So that was another goofball. Okay. Now, I don't think you're going to know most of these birthdays. Brian Highland.

28:35 He was 16 years old when he cut that song. Went all the way to number one. Brian's 83 today. He was born in Queens, New York. Now that song, it made him an instant teen idol. Now, that itsy-bitsy, teeny-weeny, yellow polka-dot bikini, that wasn't even the longest song title that he sang. Nope, he also sang Lopsided Overloader, and it would wiggle when he wrote it. That's a little bit longer. Now, in the early 60s, when the British Invasion came over, yeah, they moved Brian over to country music. So, yeah, he still releases songs, though, if you go to his website. I mean, he kind of redoes some of his old songs, and he does some of them. Now, he stopped touring, not because of age, and not because of his health. But see, in 2021, Brian married his second wife. Now, when Brian played live, or he does play live, his first wife would sing backup and their son would play the drums. So that made it pretty awkward with the first wife and second wife on the road together. So yeah, he just stopped playing. In the early 1990s, once the Soviet Union collapsed and they came out with top secret documents, they found that the Soviet Union, the KGB, they would actually play that song, Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini, when they were torturing suspects. I've been a miner for a heart of gold It's.

29:53 These expressions I never give Keep me searching. For a heart of gold. And I'm getting old. It's Neil Young. He's 81. He was born in Toronto, Canada. Started off in the band Buffalo Springfield. That's where he met Stephen Stills. And Neil, he went solo with his band Crazy Horse. Right after, a couple years after that. Now off and on over the years, you heard of Crosby, Stills, and Nash. They were Crosby, Stills, and Nash and Young. He would do that when he went touring with Crazy Horse. He had a son from a girlfriend. He married his second wife for 36 years. Then after they divorced, well, they had a son and daughter together. Then they divorced. Then he married Daryl Hannah, you know, the actress. They've been married since 2018. So what kind of music do you like?

30:42 You know, I'm a big Neil Young fan. He's still doing the show at his house, isn't he? I think so. He said he wants to go on tour with Crazy Horse again, except none of them can get their health back. all to sync together. Yeah. Yeah. They're up there, but, uh, yeah, you can get one, one more out of them. Yeah. I mean, at least, uh, I, I would, I would pay top dollar to go see him. That's awesome. Yeah.

31:30 The lead singer for blue oyster cult is buck dharma in 79 he was born in queens new york he helped form blue oyster cult in 1967 started out calling himself soft white underbelly well that didn't work so they changed it to blue oyster cult in 1971 you know their songs godzilla don't fear the reaper burning for you any of those sound familiar you. Know i do uh Funny story about them. My first station in the U.S. Coast Guard was upstate New York, just east of Lake Ontario on Alexandria Bay, New York. That's where I met the guitar player from Blue Oyster Cult. And I was out one night and I was having some drinks and I was pestering to get them to go back on tour. And I I don't know if I had any impact, but I almost got them.

32:26 That's cool. Actually, I looked on their thing. They've got like six shows scheduled this year. Oh, do they really? Oh, that's great to hear. Yeah. Blue Oyster Cult is kind of an American staple, I feel like their music was. Yeah. Now, Buck, he is married. Buck Dharma, though, sounds more like a Parno actor than it does a lead singer for a rock band. It does.

33:17 Heavy metal music today. That was Les McKeon singing for the Bay City Rollers. He was born in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1955. He joined the Bay City Rollers in 1973. Now, they had been around for quite a while, but they didn't do squat. And then when he joined them, yeah, they had a lot of success. They married in 1983, and they had one child. He died in 2021 from a heart attack when he was 65 years old. Besides the Broncos, are you Avalanche, Nuggets fans? I am Denver through and through. Huge hockey fan, huge football fan. I follow the Nuggets pretty closely. No, you don't have to mention the last one.

33:58 We know that one. I became a basketball fan kind of later. And, you know, I love the Rockies. Oh, do you? That's what I was thinking. I love that the Rockies are– Bad so that we can go see every game for whatever price we want. I can, I can go see them for the price of a candy bar. Right. That's true. I didn't even think about that, but yeah, cause the Rockies, man. But you know, the, the Broncos ownership, they don't, they don't know how to lose, you know, and, and they, they're buying them out. And once they get ahold of them, uh, it's going to be a different game. That's, that's one of the richest organizations in the world.

34:44 Yeah. And that's the big thing is I think everybody's just, just get Rocky's self, get out of there, give it to them, give it to the, the Waltons and the pinner or whoever it is. And yeah. Yeah. And the penners are great people as well. And so I don't have any, anything negative to say about the Waltons. I love the Broncos ownership and you got Condoleezza Rice in there as well. She had her, her Bush administration days. Yeah, and the race car driver, Lewis Hamilton. That's right, yeah. And the fun thing about us, you know, out here in the middle of nowhere, we have like the richest ownership group. All these places, like the Bears are going to leave Chicago, supposedly, and all this kind of stuff. Here, our owners just said, you know what, we want a new stadium, we'll just build it. Yeah.

35:35 You know, the Bears leaving Chicago was heartbreaking. You know, that's another one of those, that's like, That's like, if we move, for me, it kind of feels like, you know what I mean? If we move the Statue of Liberty, you know, to another state, it doesn't feel right. You know what I mean? I'm not a Bears fan, but I need the Bears. Yeah, some of those legacy things. I mean, we like moving the Cubs to the other side of Chicago or something, you know? Yeah, apparently they were going to go to, Bears are going to go to, what, Indiana? Yeah, Indiana. Yeah. And that, you know, as long as you still call them the Chicago bears.

36:18 I'm good. Well, yeah. I mean, well, the giants and the jets are actually New Jersey. Yeah. And out in Rutherford. Um, but I like that. I understand just because like New York, New York is just too, too busy. Like if you put a stadium in New York city, New York city would collapse overnight. It would just, it's, it's already too populated. Yeah. What are your favorite TV shows? Ooh, TV shows. I was a big fan of Ozark. Ozark, I think, was the last TV show that I actually completed. And then, you know, I still watch House.

37:00 Okay. Big, big fan of House. I wish they would do, pardon me, I wish they would do a finale, like a movie finale. He's still alive, isn't he? Yeah, he's still killing it. Yeah, he's super British. You would never know it but watching the show. Well, I'm just glad I'm not a big sitcom fan anymore. I mean, I used to back in the day with Cheers and Friends and all that kind of stuff. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I watched all of those. Yeah. This one, not so much. Actress Megan Mullally. She was born in Los Angeles. She's 68. Best known for playing Karen in the sitcom Will and Grace. No. But these are before your time. And they were small. She had really small roles in it. But these movies you might hear of, they were actually, this is probably the best four movies anybody could start their career with. She was in Risky Business, Once Bitten, Last Resort, and About Last Night.

37:59 I think I watched all of them. That's bad. So luckily my parents forced me to watch their favorite movies. And so I got cultured pretty well. That's pretty impressive. Now, she married her third husband in 2003. All right, you'll know this guy. Actor Ryan Gosling. Born in London, Ontario, Canada. He's 46, though. Kind of a little older than you might have thought. He's Canadian? Yeah. Man, I don't know if that's disappointing or not, but I love Ryan Gosling. I love Canada, too, but I didn't know he was from there. I know Jim Carrey is Canadian, too, isn't he? Mm-hmm.

38:39 Yep. Yeah, but Ryan came down from London, came to the United States to be on the Mickey Mouse Club, you know, with Brittany and Christina and Justin and all them when they were doing that. Yeah. First big movie he was in was Remember the Titans. You remember that movie? I remember that movie, yeah. And he's been nominated for the movies Half Nelson, La La Land, and Barbie. He's been with actress Eva Mendes since 2011, and they have two daughters. They just got married in 2022. Man, they're still killing, still going together? Yeah, well, they were together, what, 11 years, had two kids, and then they said, you know, we should probably just get married.

39:20 He's married to Eva Mendez? Uh-huh. Man, I'm way outside of the game. Everybody else listening probably already knows that, yeah. You'd rather watch hockey. Yeah, that's right. That's all I do. That's all I watch is sports and alien documentaries. See, you don't have time for TMZ. Yeah. Act as Anne Hathaway. Now, she's 44. She's from Brooklyn, New York. Now, Anne Hathaway, that sounds British. It is, yeah. It sounds it, yeah. You wouldn't think she's from Brooklyn. She starred... Her first movie she did, she was a star. It was The Princess Diaries. She won an Oscar for Les Miserables. She's been married since 2012, and they have two sons. Okay, so the Bronco salute. Where are you trying to take it now? Where can we get... I hope to see it.

40:13 So, the stadium is the number one goal. We're working with a sync agency right now to. We are trying to re-sync Ford and the Denver Broncos to kind of recreate that partnership. We are in talks with Cozy Sync Agency to pitch a lot of commercials and stuff to them just because we spell out Broncos. And so you get the B-R-O-N-C-O-S. And so we've got some Ford deals kind of pending in the works but really stadium is the number one goal and we won't quit until we get there and I think after we had the initial blow up on social media I think that there was kind of a watch team wondering if we were going to quit on this after a while and we did it. And so we had, we ended up creating multiple accounts and it just, it just kept going. Um, it, it definitely got harder over time to manage it. So we had to kind of, uh, work with a sync agency to, to keep it, keep it moving. But, uh, it is, uh, it's now bigger than me and I

41:46 am reliant and appreciative for everyone helping us, Uh, including, we had a couple of little nephews that are helping us, uh, helping us publish some videos here. We've taught them a couple of little things and I think they're better than us at it now. So in the show notes for today, so everybody can go listen to, do you want me to put to like, um, YouTube and Tik TOK links? Yeah. YouTube, Tik TOK, uh, Instagram. Uh, we just started on X. Um, I don't know why we weren't doing that before. I think it was just kind of an oversight. but we just started on X. And then we got the music going through basically all of the platforms now.

42:29 So SoundCloud, Apple Music, Spotify, and then a lot of overseas platforms too that I've been trying to explore that I'm not so familiar with. Is your regular music out for anybody to listen to? It is not yet. So we've been working on it for about two years. Um, hopefully in the next probably five or six months, uh, we will complete it. Uh, but we're very, very hesitant to release anything before the Bronco salute. Right. Uh, Bronco salute is the number one goal. Um, it didn't start that way. Uh, this all started as, uh, you know, I, I, I want to release an album. Um, and then, so dropped into the studio, uh, became best friends with my studio manager, Danny Burr. And right in the middle of that project, we wrote the Bronco Salute.

43:28 And then we basically stopped working on the project for a little while. The Bronco Salute became the project. And so once we get stadium presence, then we will release the album, which we've kind of modeled after another person that wrote a fight song for a soccer team. And so, yeah, it kind of worked out for them. So it's not even quite our idea there. Well, you don't have to give away any trade secrets or anything, but how did you get the chant sound? Did you have a bunch of people doing it or is it all done with audio? So it was the cringiest thing I've ever done in my life. And it was sitting in the studio with, and basically screaming over and over and over and over and over again, and then having to pitch it correctly each time. So it is probably 20 bytes of my sound and another 10 bytes of him. So it's the two of us both pitching each time and his wife making fun of us the entire time.

44:43 Gotta love wives. Yeah. All right, we end it with a quote of the day. You know the story about sprinter Wilma Rudolph? I do not. She's a three-time Olympic gold medal sprinter. When she was a little girl, she couldn't really walk. Her legs were all jacked up. Picture Forrest Gump. Picture, yeah. Okay. Well, then she ended up becoming a three-time Olympic gold medal sprinter. Jeez. She died today in 1994 at 54 years old. Her quote is, The doctor told me I'd never walk again. My mother said I would. I believe my mother. Yeah. That's one of the, one of the biggest lessons I've ever learned in life and coming from a medic.

45:25 Don't listen to doctors. Right. All right. Anything else? I think that's it. All right. We always end every show. I have a internet radio station called country underground radio where we play independent artists and we let them do a request. Today's request for a song comes from Bryant in Lincoln, Nebraska. He wants to hear Chris Gunther's song, This Town Ain't Big Enough for the Both of Us. You guys, thanks for listening. Have an awesome day, and we'll talk tomorrow. Everybody's watching when I walk in Crucifying me for all of your sins They don't know the story about what you did Now I have to explain myself to all of your friends This town ain't big enough for the both of us Everybody knows what's going on Why can't we just settle this and get on? I'm tired of going.

46:32 Out and feeling wrong. It walked out on me. Mind your own business and let things be. It's for the better now, I must say. Go live your. Own life and get out of my way. This town ain't big enough for the both of us. Everybody knows what's going on. Why can't we just settle this and get along I'm tired of going out and feeling wrong
