Way down among Brazilians, coffee fiends drove files of alions,
4
00:00:29.719 --> 00:00:32.119

00:00:31.879 --> 00:00:36.719
Cups to fill. They've got an awful lot of coffee
6
00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:37.520

00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:43.960
Today is National Coffee Day. Makes sense, yesterday was Drink

9
00:00:47.759 --> 00:00:50.119
average about two and a half cups seat. Now I
10
00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:52.880
don't like coffee, but I do drink coffee for every morning,
11
00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:56.359

00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:09.439
twenty twenty two at eighty seven years old. See now
128
00:07:09.439 --> 00:07:14.160
it gets kind of really weird. See his first wife,
129
00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:16.959
he married her when he was sixteen. Then that thirteen
130
00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:19.600
year old cousin, she was actually his third wife, but
131
00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:21.720
his wives were all kind of still married when he
132
00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:24.519

133
00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:27.480

singer for Grand Funk Railroad. Mark Farner Mark seventy seven,
171
00:09:36.799 --> 00:09:39.399
born in Flint, Michigan, in nineteen forty eight. Now and
172
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:42.759
the guys were forming the band up there in Flint. Yeah,
173
00:09:42.840 --> 00:09:45.320
the Grand Western Railroad ran right through the middle of town,
174
00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:47.639
so they got to think of that. Hey, they just
175
00:09:47.720 --> 00:09:49.720
changed it to Grand Front Railroad. They were off and running.
176
00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:52.399
They had a name. Now, that was nineteen sixty nine. Now, Mark,
177
00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:54.519
you left in nineteen seventy six to go. So he's
178
00:09:54.559 --> 00:09:55.879
come back a couple of times to do some re
179
00:09:55.960 --> 00:09:59.240
union shows. Biggest hits with Mark singing where We're an
180
00:09:59.240 --> 00:10:03.000
American Band, The Locomotion, some kind of Wonderful Bad Time.
181
00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:06.159
Marky's released seven solo albums over the years. He's actually
182
00:10:06.200 --> 00:10:08.960
out on tour with Mark Farner's American Band. They have
183
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:10.879
shows all these schedules all the way till next May.
184
00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:15.279
Marky has been married for over forty years actor Cindy Morgan.
185
00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:17.960
She was born in Chicago in nineteen fifty four. Best
186
00:10:17.960 --> 00:10:21.279
known for playing Lacy Underall in the movie Caddyshack. She
187
00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:23.559
was also in the original Tron movie Now. In that
188
00:10:23.600 --> 00:10:26.080
scene from Caddyshack where she walks around the pool, she
189
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:27.919
climbs the ladder to the high dive and then makes
190
00:10:27.919 --> 00:10:30.360
that perfect dive off while the guys are standing around
191
00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:32.879
the pool with their stomach sticked in Now. Once she
192
00:10:32.960 --> 00:10:37.240
completed filming that scene, everybody on set was relieved. See Cindy,
193
00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:40.039
she was technically blind. Yeah, she really couldn't see what
194
00:10:40.120 --> 00:10:42.480
she was doing, so everybody was afraid she was gonna
195
00:10:42.519 --> 00:10:44.240
fall in the pool or fall off the high dight,
196
00:10:44.399 --> 00:10:46.559
do something to hurt herself. But she wanted to do
197
00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:48.320
the scene, so she did it, and she pulled it
198
00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:51.080
off flollowlessly. She had one daughter. She died from natural
199
00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:53.360
causes in twenty twenty three at sixty nine years old.
200
00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:58.240
Comedian actor actor Andrew Dice Clay. He's sixty eight. He's
201
00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:00.559
born in Brooklyn, New York in nineteen five fifty seven,
202
00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:03.320
late eighties, early nineties. He was as big as any
203
00:11:03.320 --> 00:11:06.440
comedian could be, but that's when political correctness came in
204
00:11:06.440 --> 00:11:09.120
and kind of ruined his whole stick. Now he's still
205
00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:10.440
tours if you want to go check him out. I
206
00:11:10.440 --> 00:11:12.120
think he only has a couple more shows left this year,
207
00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:13.679
but I'm sure he'll be out to get next year.
208
00:11:14.200 --> 00:11:17.440
Some of his movie is Private Resort, Casual Sex Adventures
209
00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:19.879
A Fair Fair Lane. Now he has gotten a lot
210
00:11:19.919 --> 00:11:23.399
of critical claim for his recent acting. I mean pretty
211
00:11:23.440 --> 00:11:25.120
much all the critics and everybody loved him in Blue
212
00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:28.120
Jasmine and Then the Star is Born. Dyce is three
213
00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:30.320
times divorced, and he has two sons from his second wife.
214
00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:36.919
Had Pope and Beef, Muffy of trusted Hice and tested,
215
00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:41.559

00:11:50.679 --> 00:11:54.200
