Michael Gorse, who is filling in for Tom
16
00:00:44,265 --> 00:00:46,104
Bozak and Ray Simon, but he really doesn't
17
00:00:46,104 --> 00:00:48,024
need to fill in because he is a
18
00:00:48,024 --> 00:00:49,304
sound engineer extraordinaire
19
00:00:49,704 --> 00:00:51,864
Mhmm. And a documentary guy. He does so

00:00:58,450 --> 00:01:00,710
Thanks, Michael. You're hearing this live

41
00:01:41,894 --> 00:01:42,394
Portser,

the time, we have your coasts
47
00:01:55,510 --> 00:01:58,650
covered. I've said s coasts. Mhmm.
48
00:01:59,270 --> 00:01:59,770
Alright.
49
00:02:00,870 --> 00:02:03,670
Okay. It's that time when good medicine and

health tips are colorfully

00:02:05,990 --> 00:02:07,530
colorfully Mhmm. Colorfully.
52
00:02:08,780 --> 00:02:10,485
Colorfully. Thank you. Colorfully
53
00:02:11,425 --> 00:02:11,925
presented
54
00:02:12,224 --> 00:02:14,885
by my German American practicing metal doctor.
55
00:02:15,504 --> 00:02:16,805
Metal? Oh my gosh.
56
00:02:17,985 --> 00:02:20,245
Medical doctor who is also,
57
00:02:20,944 --> 00:02:24,140
actually a renowned research scientist who holds former
58
00:02:24,300 --> 00:02:27,120
well, still a you still hold four DNA
59
00:02:27,260 --> 00:02:29,200
technology patents in your name.
60
00:02:29,580 --> 00:02:31,819
You are you were a university professor and
61
00:02:31,819 --> 00:02:33,840
just up to recently you were a professor.
62
00:02:33,900 --> 00:02:35,659
You're also an artist, which I wanted to
63
00:02:35,659 --> 00:02:37,659
bring in to everybody. She's an incredible artist.
64
00:02:37,659 --> 00:02:40,104
She's she seems she makes me vest in
65
00:02:40,104 --> 00:02:41,884
shirts and caps. Oh, she's fantastic.
66
00:02:42,424 --> 00:02:43,324
She is also
67
00:02:44,104 --> 00:02:47,245
a a newspaper columnist with your Yeah. MDG.
68
00:02:47,544 --> 00:02:49,305
Off the charts. Off the charts. Okay. And
69
00:02:49,305 --> 00:02:51,485
last but not least, she's a syndicated broadcaster
70
00:02:51,544 --> 00:02:53,144
and so much more. And did I mention
71
00:02:53,144 --> 00:02:56,270
her incredibly emotional work as our region's
72
00:02:56,729 --> 00:02:59,289
hospice physician? Oh, yes. We gotta say that.
73
00:02:59,289 --> 00:03:00,110
Doctor Gigi,
74
00:03:00,490 --> 00:03:03,210
what medical marvels do you have for us
75
00:03:03,210 --> 00:03:05,789
today on this week's health segment of MD
76
00:03:06,775 --> 00:03:09,254
Well, very kind introduction. Thank you. You're looking
77
00:03:09,254 --> 00:03:10,235
really good too.
78
00:03:10,855 --> 00:03:14,074
I like it. They're pretty. Wow. Woah, boy.
79
00:03:16,534 --> 00:03:20,055
Today, we will discuss yet another one of
80
00:03:20,055 --> 00:03:20,555
your
81
00:03:21,180 --> 00:03:21,919
James Kepner's
82
00:03:22,379 --> 00:03:24,939
suggestions when you ask what the heck is
83
00:03:24,939 --> 00:03:26,239
in the human throat
84
00:03:26,780 --> 00:03:28,459
and what is it all about? Well, James
85
00:03:28,459 --> 00:03:30,879
is your old boyfriend. I'm Jacques. Jacques. Okay.
86
00:03:31,580 --> 00:03:33,919
Well, the throat doctor is humanity's
87
00:03:34,300 --> 00:03:35,775
great hallway, is it not?
88
00:03:36,254 --> 00:03:38,655
It swallows food, it laughs and it speaks
89
00:03:38,655 --> 00:03:41,055
poetry. It does. Thank you. So we can
90
00:03:41,055 --> 00:03:41,794
move on.
91
00:03:42,094 --> 00:03:44,034
Where would we be without it?
92
00:03:44,814 --> 00:03:46,995
We would probably be mute and malnourished
93
00:03:47,294 --> 00:03:48,750
and mourning the loss of
94
00:03:49,629 --> 00:03:50,129
karaoke.
95
00:03:51,949 --> 00:03:54,750
Yeah. Alright. So respect the throat. Okay. We
96
00:03:54,750 --> 00:03:58,110
do. That slim squishy corridor between our brain
97
00:03:58,110 --> 00:04:01,250
and belly, the unsung hero of existence.
98
00:04:01,789 --> 00:04:03,250
Oh noble throat,
99
00:04:03,555 --> 00:04:06,215
the slender bridge of life's symphony.
100
00:04:06,754 --> 00:04:07,574
Through you
101
00:04:08,354 --> 00:04:09,495
what we gonna say?
102
00:04:09,955 --> 00:04:10,854
Through you,
103
00:04:11,235 --> 00:04:14,215
glide words and laughter and soup alike.
104
00:04:14,675 --> 00:04:16,774
Our guest is gagging on my words.
105
00:04:17,314 --> 00:04:18,855
You our dreams,
106
00:04:19,420 --> 00:04:21,600
you gulp pride, and you oftentimes
107
00:04:21,980 --> 00:04:23,040
choke on the truth.
108
00:04:23,420 --> 00:04:26,139
Without you, silence would rule, doctor. No sound,
109
00:04:26,139 --> 00:04:28,400
no snacks, no sweet confessions.
110
00:04:29,100 --> 00:04:32,160
Well said, my talkative team mate. The throat.
111
00:04:32,220 --> 00:04:32,504
Oh,
112
00:04:33,064 --> 00:04:35,625
your turn. Alright. So the throat also called
113
00:04:35,625 --> 00:04:36,285
the pharynx.
114
00:04:36,745 --> 00:04:40,024
Pharynx? Like the pharaoh? Pharynx. Oh. Not the
115
00:04:40,024 --> 00:04:42,584
far neck. Shoot. The pharynx. Again. It's a
116
00:04:42,584 --> 00:04:45,064
crowded piece of real estate in our body.
117
00:04:45,064 --> 00:04:47,225
Yet, most of us only notice it when
118
00:04:47,225 --> 00:04:50,169
we say, I have a sore throat. Yeah.
119
00:04:50,169 --> 00:04:51,469
That's true. Behind
120
00:04:52,969 --> 00:04:55,930
every time we swallow, bite, or speak, as
121
00:04:55,930 --> 00:04:58,810
you so poetically said, the short stretch of
122
00:04:58,810 --> 00:05:01,930
anatomy is running a complex and finally timed
123
00:05:01,930 --> 00:05:02,430
operation.
124
00:05:03,274 --> 00:05:04,014
The throat
125
00:05:04,474 --> 00:05:07,294
or pharynx is a vital crossroads where breathing,
126
00:05:07,754 --> 00:05:08,254
eating,
127
00:05:08,634 --> 00:05:09,134
speaking,
128
00:05:09,514 --> 00:05:12,014
and fighting infections all come together.
129
00:05:12,394 --> 00:05:15,294
Do you know why cannibals don't swallow clowns?
130
00:05:15,514 --> 00:05:17,454
Why? Because they taste funny.
131
00:05:18,459 --> 00:05:18,959
Alright.
132
00:05:20,060 --> 00:05:22,539
K. Let's go back to my pharynx. Let's
133
00:05:22,539 --> 00:05:25,680
divide the busy corridor into several regions, each
134
00:05:25,979 --> 00:05:28,060
with its own row. So at the top
135
00:05:28,060 --> 00:05:29,599
lies the nasopharynx.
136
00:05:30,379 --> 00:05:32,959
Woah. So the nasal No. Throat
137
00:05:33,419 --> 00:05:36,095
Yep. Tucked behind the nose Okay. Where air
138
00:05:36,095 --> 00:05:38,654
first enters its way toward the lungs. Okay.
139
00:05:38,654 --> 00:05:39,875
Just below the,
140
00:05:41,055 --> 00:05:42,915
just below is the oropharynx,
141
00:05:43,295 --> 00:05:45,154
like the mouth throat. Nasopharynx.
142
00:05:45,615 --> 00:05:49,039
Nasopharynx. What does oral mean? Mouth. Oh, oral
143
00:05:49,319 --> 00:05:52,419
like oral. Duh. Yeah. Oral and then nasopharynx.
144
00:05:52,879 --> 00:05:55,439
First the nasal, then nasal throat, then the
145
00:05:55,439 --> 00:05:58,819
mouth throat. And that's when when we say
146
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,725
to the patient, say ah. Oh, open your
147
00:06:01,725 --> 00:06:03,564
mouth and say Yeah. Open the mouth and
148
00:06:03,564 --> 00:06:05,004
say, ah. And so that's when the tongue
149
00:06:05,004 --> 00:06:07,745
gets depressed, and we see the oropharynx.
150
00:06:08,125 --> 00:06:10,044
That's what we see then behind there. And
151
00:06:10,044 --> 00:06:11,805
the little I've got a tongue depressor. If
152
00:06:11,805 --> 00:06:13,610
you wanna try it on me. And that's
153
00:06:13,610 --> 00:06:15,370
why well, you know the little dingly, the
154
00:06:15,370 --> 00:06:18,329
uvula we see there too. Okay. You open
155
00:06:18,329 --> 00:06:20,910
your mouth and then say, oh, I'd say,
156
00:06:22,970 --> 00:06:25,470
ah, Yeah. Okay. Sorry. Didn't get that. Alright.
157
00:06:25,850 --> 00:06:27,470
So in the oropharynx,
158
00:06:28,335 --> 00:06:30,814
air, food, and liquids all pass through the
159
00:06:30,814 --> 00:06:31,634
same space.
160
00:06:32,415 --> 00:06:34,574
So now we have to have the daring
161
00:06:34,574 --> 00:06:35,714
feet of biological
162
00:06:36,014 --> 00:06:38,495
traffic control. Wow. How cool is that? So
163
00:06:38,495 --> 00:06:40,935
below that, beneath that, we have the hypo
164
00:06:41,214 --> 00:06:44,490
Alright. Pharynx or the lower throat. Hypo below.
165
00:06:44,490 --> 00:06:46,029
Hypo below. Hyper is above.
166
00:06:46,490 --> 00:06:49,209
Hyper above, hypo below. That's what forms the
167
00:06:49,209 --> 00:06:52,110
final stretch before this shared pathway
168
00:06:52,649 --> 00:06:53,149
splits.
169
00:06:53,689 --> 00:06:55,709
The air turns toward the windpipe
170
00:06:56,935 --> 00:06:58,774
and the lungs and the food and drink
171
00:06:58,774 --> 00:07:02,055
heading for the food tube and stomach. Wow.
172
00:07:02,055 --> 00:07:04,134
So it's doing taking everything in from Yeah.
173
00:07:04,295 --> 00:07:05,595
Care, milkshakes.
174
00:07:05,975 --> 00:07:08,550
So we don't wanna get food in our
175
00:07:09,110 --> 00:07:12,089
airway. Right? So guarding that airway is the
176
00:07:12,389 --> 00:07:12,889
larynx
177
00:07:13,189 --> 00:07:15,269
or we call it the voice box. I
178
00:07:15,269 --> 00:07:17,029
got I'm glad you're larynx. It's not larynx,
179
00:07:17,029 --> 00:07:18,789
by the way. It's larynx. I had a
180
00:07:18,789 --> 00:07:21,189
friend named larynx. Larynx. Larynx. Well, it's close
181
00:07:21,189 --> 00:07:22,754
enough. So we call it we just say
182
00:07:22,754 --> 00:07:24,354
the voice box. Okay. The voice box. So
183
00:07:24,354 --> 00:07:26,774
this is a small cartilage frame structure
184
00:07:27,154 --> 00:07:29,475
that has double duty. Wow. It must. It
185
00:07:29,475 --> 00:07:31,634
has it houses the vocal cords. We talked
186
00:07:31,634 --> 00:07:33,654
about the vocal cords one, twice
187
00:07:34,035 --> 00:07:36,774
that vibrate to make our voice exactly.
188
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,699
And it forms the upper gateway
189
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,240
off the windpipe. We better get going. Our
190
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:43,620
guest over here is.
191
00:07:45,919 --> 00:07:48,579
He's yawning over here. Okay. Last week,
192
00:07:49,039 --> 00:07:51,194
doctor, last week, I got a few tests
193
00:07:51,435 --> 00:07:53,595
done. Mhmm. And today, I got back the
194
00:07:53,595 --> 00:07:56,154
results. Yeah. Yep. One was a COVID test,
195
00:07:56,154 --> 00:07:58,074
and it's really weird. But right beside that
196
00:07:58,074 --> 00:08:00,475
COVID test, it just had a number 50
197
00:08:00,475 --> 00:08:02,395
to next to it. Right? That's weird. Right?
198
00:08:02,395 --> 00:08:04,654
Yeah. I also got my IQ results,
199
00:08:05,035 --> 00:08:08,050
test results back. Yeah. It says positive next
200
00:08:08,050 --> 00:08:09,350
to it. It's weird.
201
00:08:12,370 --> 00:08:14,610
Alright. That's funny. It's not bad. Right? Okay.
202
00:08:14,610 --> 00:08:16,389
Our guest didn't laugh. Jinx.
203
00:08:17,889 --> 00:08:20,209
We are right on time. Right? Okay. What
204
00:08:20,209 --> 00:08:21,910
else? Sitting above the larynx,
205
00:08:24,485 --> 00:08:27,365
sits something called the epiglottis. The glottis is
206
00:08:27,365 --> 00:08:28,745
actually a little hole, and
207
00:08:29,285 --> 00:08:32,245
the epiglottis is something that closes on the
208
00:08:32,245 --> 00:08:34,825
hold, and that's called the epiglottis. You can
209
00:08:35,250 --> 00:08:36,690
think of it as kind of like the
210
00:08:36,690 --> 00:08:38,790
beer stein, the little flexible
211
00:08:39,169 --> 00:08:40,929
thing that you can open the lid for.
212
00:08:40,929 --> 00:08:43,169
That's how Oh. See it. That's a flexible
213
00:08:43,169 --> 00:08:46,230
flap that snaps down all over the larynx
214
00:08:46,850 --> 00:08:49,304
every time we swallow. Otherwise, we would
215
00:08:50,184 --> 00:08:52,184
swallow food And then get into our lungs.
216
00:08:52,264 --> 00:08:54,105
Into the lungs. Yeah. Oh, yeah. So which
217
00:08:54,184 --> 00:08:56,424
with each bite of a sandwich or a
218
00:08:56,424 --> 00:08:57,404
sip of beer,
219
00:08:57,705 --> 00:09:01,625
the epiglottis quietly prevents disaster, steering food away
220
00:09:01,625 --> 00:09:04,230
from the lungs and into the food pipe,
221
00:09:04,309 --> 00:09:06,070
which is the esophagus. And of course, you'd
222
00:09:06,070 --> 00:09:08,309
bring a beer because you're German and of
223
00:09:08,309 --> 00:09:10,070
course a stein. I haven't seen them. In
224
00:09:10,070 --> 00:09:12,149
Germany, we saw those, right, the steins that
225
00:09:12,149 --> 00:09:14,389
had the little tin cap or it's made
226
00:09:14,389 --> 00:09:15,589
made of cheap metal. Yeah. I think tin.
227
00:09:15,589 --> 00:09:16,490
Yeah. I think that's interesting.
228
00:09:17,075 --> 00:09:20,034
Well, speaking of beer, a skeleton folks walked
229
00:09:20,034 --> 00:09:21,794
into a bar and he went up to
230
00:09:21,794 --> 00:09:23,794
the bartender and he said, give me a
231
00:09:23,794 --> 00:09:24,294
beer
232
00:09:24,835 --> 00:09:26,134
and give me a mop.
233
00:09:27,315 --> 00:09:29,554
And he had the Irish accent. Well, I
234
00:09:29,554 --> 00:09:30,375
don't know.
235
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,299
Okay. It's my last joke as well.
236
00:09:33,919 --> 00:09:36,720
So we're keep going on either side of
237
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:37,379
the oropharynx.
238
00:09:37,839 --> 00:09:39,699
Remember what we say when we say oropharynx?
239
00:09:39,839 --> 00:09:42,480
Oral is oral. Okay. The mouth. Yep. Mouth,
240
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:42,980
throat.
241
00:09:43,524 --> 00:09:45,945
Stands, or on each side are the tonsils.
242
00:09:46,404 --> 00:09:49,445
And we all know who have had children
243
00:09:49,445 --> 00:09:52,345
who have endured strep throat or tonsillectomies
244
00:09:52,884 --> 00:09:53,784
or tonsillitis,
245
00:09:54,164 --> 00:09:55,144
those are the things
246
00:09:55,589 --> 00:09:58,549
that get thick and tender, and that's part
247
00:09:58,549 --> 00:10:01,269
of our sore throats. Okay. So these small
248
00:10:01,269 --> 00:10:03,589
lumps, the tonsils are part of the immune
249
00:10:03,589 --> 00:10:05,669
tissue. They hang down, I thought. No. That
250
00:10:05,750 --> 00:10:07,190
No. They're on the side. No. We What's
251
00:10:07,190 --> 00:10:08,629
the part that hangs it down? Those two
252
00:10:08,629 --> 00:10:09,284
weird things.
253
00:10:09,924 --> 00:10:12,164
The adenoids, they're a little higher up. Do
254
00:10:12,164 --> 00:10:14,964
you usually, we don't see them. Yeah. Oh,
255
00:10:14,964 --> 00:10:18,084
I see. Tonsils that you see Yeah. Are
256
00:10:18,084 --> 00:10:20,245
on the side. So the adenoids are further
257
00:10:20,245 --> 00:10:22,019
up. Can you see them from the the
258
00:10:22,019 --> 00:10:23,460
top? I mean, looking down some of his
259
00:10:23,460 --> 00:10:25,139
voice, the voice box or
260
00:10:25,860 --> 00:10:27,700
Yeah. No. You see the ad notes are
261
00:10:27,700 --> 00:10:30,019
really hardly ever visible. But you could put
262
00:10:30,019 --> 00:10:31,460
a mirror in there. Right? Yes. So then
263
00:10:31,460 --> 00:10:32,899
you can Doctors looking to see a mirror
264
00:10:32,899 --> 00:10:34,420
down the side. Yeah. Not the normal doctors,
265
00:10:34,420 --> 00:10:37,504
but some maybe. Have you? ENTs. No. Oh,
266
00:10:37,965 --> 00:10:40,845
okay. So what they do is they sample
267
00:10:40,845 --> 00:10:43,105
all of them, the adenoids and the tonsils.
268
00:10:43,164 --> 00:10:46,144
They sample the incoming germs from the air
269
00:10:46,445 --> 00:10:47,884
and say, oop, this is a bad guy
270
00:10:47,884 --> 00:10:50,044
or this is a good guy. And we
271
00:10:50,044 --> 00:10:52,365
we better make antibodies against it. And so
272
00:10:52,365 --> 00:10:53,580
they sound the alarm
273
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:55,899
and our immune system starts.
274
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,159
K. Got it. So the all those that
275
00:10:59,159 --> 00:11:02,120
the the tonsils, the immune parts, they can
276
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,779
become infected and painfully swollen,
277
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,804
but they are our frontline defensive role, especially
278
00:11:08,804 --> 00:11:09,625
in childhood.
279
00:11:10,325 --> 00:11:12,965
However so this is interesting if, I had
280
00:11:12,965 --> 00:11:15,365
strep throat one time that I know of.
281
00:11:15,365 --> 00:11:17,205
And I looked I took a picture on
282
00:11:17,205 --> 00:11:17,865
my little
283
00:11:19,365 --> 00:11:22,169
phone here and it looked just horrid because
284
00:11:22,169 --> 00:11:24,350
the tonsils were the very
285
00:11:24,730 --> 00:11:25,230
Hugo
286
00:11:25,929 --> 00:11:28,329
red and white dots on it. That is
287
00:11:28,329 --> 00:11:28,990
the hallmark
288
00:11:30,169 --> 00:11:32,329
of streptorosis. Did you know that dolphins have
289
00:11:32,329 --> 00:11:34,274
tonsils too? I found that found that very
290
00:11:34,274 --> 00:11:36,674
interesting. They do? I haven't researched it yet,
291
00:11:36,674 --> 00:11:39,394
but I'm sure they do. Because, scientists have
292
00:11:39,394 --> 00:11:42,995
discovered that dolphins are so smart. They are
293
00:11:42,995 --> 00:11:43,495
indeed.
294
00:11:44,115 --> 00:11:46,274
They can quickly teach humans to stand on
295
00:11:46,274 --> 00:11:47,714
the edge of a pool and feed them
296
00:11:47,714 --> 00:11:50,539
fish. They could train us. It's no problem.
297
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,960
Okay. Okay. What next? Just tiny little more
298
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:55,960
because we're still having more. We have
299
00:11:56,519 --> 00:11:58,379
once we swallow, we divide
300
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:00,700
the food from the air.
301
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,644
We go down the esophagus, which is the,
302
00:12:04,205 --> 00:12:06,045
I should say, the air goes in the
303
00:12:06,045 --> 00:12:09,004
front of the throat, basically. Gotcha. And the
304
00:12:09,004 --> 00:12:11,485
food goes in the back. So that's the
305
00:12:11,485 --> 00:12:11,985
esophagus.
306
00:12:13,245 --> 00:12:15,004
That's all I wanted to say that we
307
00:12:15,004 --> 00:12:17,309
have two lines going down in the neck.
308
00:12:17,309 --> 00:12:19,070
The front is the air, the back is
309
00:12:19,070 --> 00:12:22,269
the food. Cool. That was excellent. Wonderful. About
310
00:12:22,269 --> 00:12:23,950
the throat, you know, think about it next
311
00:12:23,950 --> 00:12:25,549
week. What should we talk about? I mean,
312
00:12:25,549 --> 00:12:27,149
parts of the we haven't done an eyeball
313
00:12:27,149 --> 00:12:29,230
yet, have we? No. Okay. Maybe we'll have
314
00:12:29,230 --> 00:12:30,954
to do that, talking about the eyes. Yeah.
315
00:12:30,954 --> 00:12:32,634
Yeah. Okay. Well, thank you for that, doc.
316
00:12:32,875 --> 00:12:34,714
Have you been watching any of the Olympics,
317
00:12:34,714 --> 00:12:36,634
John? Have you watched any Olympics every shake?
318
00:12:36,634 --> 00:12:37,834
No. We don't have TV. So We watched
319
00:12:37,834 --> 00:12:39,514
a little bit the other day, right? We
320
00:12:39,514 --> 00:12:41,514
were we don't have TV, but we Wait.
321
00:12:41,514 --> 00:12:43,054
Where did we watch it? Oh, that Oh,
322
00:12:43,054 --> 00:12:45,080
that that other girl. Damn it.
323
00:12:46,180 --> 00:12:48,980
Oh, shoot. Alright. Wait a minute. Okay. Thank
324
00:12:48,980 --> 00:12:49,139
you.
325
00:12:49,860 --> 00:12:52,899
I recently entered the, speaking of, the Olympics,
326
00:12:52,899 --> 00:12:54,600
I recently entered the world kleptomaniac
327
00:12:55,059 --> 00:12:55,559
championship.
328
00:12:56,180 --> 00:12:57,700
I did. And I took the gold, silver,
329
00:12:57,700 --> 00:12:58,519
and the bronze.
330
00:13:00,185 --> 00:13:00,685
Okay.
331
00:13:01,625 --> 00:13:02,125
Alright.
332
00:13:02,665 --> 00:13:03,644
Let's see. Prologue.
333
00:13:04,425 --> 00:13:06,685
Good afternoon friends and welcome back.
334
00:13:07,305 --> 00:13:08,285
We haven't been anywhere
335
00:13:08,665 --> 00:13:10,745
to this edition of Doc and Jacques Radio
336
00:13:10,745 --> 00:13:13,409
Show on k c k c I w,
337
00:13:13,490 --> 00:13:15,569
KZZH, and KFUG coming to you from this
338
00:13:15,569 --> 00:13:18,129
wild stretch of coastal magic along the Northern
339
00:13:18,129 --> 00:13:20,549
Coast Of California and Southern
340
00:13:21,009 --> 00:13:23,269
Coast Of Oregon. Today's guest
341
00:13:23,809 --> 00:13:25,970
has been on this show multiple times and
342
00:13:25,970 --> 00:13:28,304
has become a friend of ours because he
343
00:13:28,304 --> 00:13:30,704
is just a nice guy. He really is.
344
00:13:30,704 --> 00:13:32,144
When we're together, when we've been out to
345
00:13:32,144 --> 00:13:33,365
dinner, we've been
346
00:13:33,824 --> 00:13:35,365
a little more informal places.
347
00:13:35,904 --> 00:13:37,664
He laughs like hell at my jokes. He
348
00:13:37,664 --> 00:13:40,064
does. He's When nobody else is listening. He's
349
00:13:40,064 --> 00:13:42,720
slapping his keeps slapping his knee. Your wife's
350
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:43,459
paying me.
351
00:13:45,919 --> 00:13:48,639
Slapping his knee, guffeling. Hey. What a great
352
00:13:48,639 --> 00:13:52,159
joke, Jack. Toasting. Oh my god. Alright. But
353
00:13:52,159 --> 00:13:55,039
our guest also holds a very interesting position
354
00:13:55,039 --> 00:13:56,554
in a five zero one C3
355
00:13:57,014 --> 00:13:57,514
nonprofit
356
00:13:59,174 --> 00:14:00,554
organization. It's a nonprofit
357
00:14:01,095 --> 00:14:02,475
that serves our community
358
00:14:03,575 --> 00:14:05,034
in more ways than one,
359
00:14:05,335 --> 00:14:08,394
in a different way because it represents a
360
00:14:08,639 --> 00:14:11,519
it's a monument. It's a monument that we
361
00:14:11,519 --> 00:14:13,059
have right off our shores
362
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:13,940
of both
363
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,879
Brookings and Crescent City and beyond. You see
364
00:14:16,879 --> 00:14:17,940
this monument.
365
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:18,740
Well,
366
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,040
I'll I'll just let him take over. But
367
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:21,860
John Zimmerman
368
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,195
is the president of this
369
00:14:24,754 --> 00:14:26,514
monument thing that you're going to find out
370
00:14:26,514 --> 00:14:28,434
more. You're going to hear directly from his
371
00:14:28,434 --> 00:14:30,134
voice, his voice, his throat,
372
00:14:31,394 --> 00:14:33,495
and what he represents. Hint,
373
00:14:33,875 --> 00:14:35,095
it's a tall building
374
00:14:35,634 --> 00:14:37,875
seven miles out to sea that you can
375
00:14:37,875 --> 00:14:40,450
see on a clear happy day. Do we
376
00:14:40,450 --> 00:14:42,850
know what that might be? Alright. That's enough
377
00:14:42,850 --> 00:14:44,850
for me. Okay. Today's show is a special
378
00:14:44,850 --> 00:14:47,490
treat. Welcome, John Zimmer. John Zimmer, thank you
379
00:14:47,490 --> 00:14:50,070
for coming back to our show even though
380
00:14:50,929 --> 00:14:52,629
you have to laugh at his jokes.
381
00:14:52,985 --> 00:14:55,085
Darn right. He ain't gotten a bill yet.
382
00:14:56,825 --> 00:14:59,465
John Zimmerman, give us the skinny. Where were
383
00:14:59,465 --> 00:15:01,004
you born and raised?
384
00:15:02,105 --> 00:15:04,125
Oh, I was born in Portland, Oregon
385
00:15:04,825 --> 00:15:06,285
in 1957.
386
00:15:07,679 --> 00:15:08,980
So I'm an old fossil.
387
00:15:10,399 --> 00:15:12,720
Alright. And I was raised there. Okay. What
388
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:13,860
brought you here then?
389
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:14,980
Well,
390
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,559
after I graduated from Oregon State, I moved
391
00:15:18,559 --> 00:15:19,220
to California
392
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,580
for thirty five years, lived in Sonoma County
393
00:15:23,294 --> 00:15:25,695
as a landscape contractor, and then I retired
394
00:15:25,695 --> 00:15:27,774
and wanted to move back to Oregon, so
395
00:15:27,774 --> 00:15:29,455
I moved to Brookings. I didn't wanna go
396
00:15:29,455 --> 00:15:31,054
back to a big city. I know. That's
397
00:15:31,054 --> 00:15:33,455
why I had done You're a beaver? Former
398
00:15:33,455 --> 00:15:35,315
beaver? I am. I don't know. Wow.
399
00:15:35,829 --> 00:15:36,649
Okay. So
400
00:15:37,190 --> 00:15:39,509
now Jacques here has been talking around the
401
00:15:39,509 --> 00:15:40,809
hot dough,
402
00:15:41,269 --> 00:15:43,509
hot what do you call it? Hot clue.
403
00:15:43,509 --> 00:15:45,990
I haven't given any clues. Yeah. Okay. Okay,
404
00:15:45,990 --> 00:15:48,230
John. It's up to you. What is your
405
00:15:48,230 --> 00:15:49,370
title and position?
406
00:15:50,254 --> 00:15:52,335
I'm the president of the Saint George Reef
407
00:15:52,335 --> 00:15:56,195
Lighthouse Preservation Society. Woah. That's a mouthful. And
408
00:15:56,495 --> 00:15:58,034
we are trying to
409
00:15:58,575 --> 00:16:01,054
restore the lighthouse off the coast of Crescent
410
00:16:01,054 --> 00:16:03,235
City. It's six and a half miles across,
411
00:16:04,250 --> 00:16:06,350
the water from, Pointe Saint George.
412
00:16:06,730 --> 00:16:08,809
Wow. And Saint George Pointe is the one
413
00:16:08,809 --> 00:16:10,889
that's kinda down near the Crescent City,
414
00:16:11,529 --> 00:16:14,409
airport. Right? Right. Exactly. Up beyond that. And
415
00:16:14,409 --> 00:16:16,490
yet, our friend Ray, when we've been over
416
00:16:16,490 --> 00:16:18,009
at his house, he sits right on a
417
00:16:18,009 --> 00:16:19,804
cliff up here north of town. Oh, he's
418
00:16:19,964 --> 00:16:22,524
In Brookings. Yeah. And he has a telescope.
419
00:16:22,524 --> 00:16:23,985
You could see it perfectly
420
00:16:24,605 --> 00:16:26,365
out there. It's we have one of the
421
00:16:26,365 --> 00:16:28,204
best pictures taken from that distance, and I
422
00:16:28,204 --> 00:16:30,125
gotta say that's more like 13 or 14
423
00:16:30,125 --> 00:16:32,845
miles. Oh, close to 20. Oh, really? Oh,
424
00:16:32,845 --> 00:16:34,684
yeah. That looks really good. Sweet. You know,
425
00:16:34,684 --> 00:16:36,980
my nephew was here the other month with
426
00:16:36,980 --> 00:16:37,720
his wife,
427
00:16:38,179 --> 00:16:40,100
and we went to the Point Of Saint
428
00:16:40,100 --> 00:16:42,580
George, and it was so clear. It was
429
00:16:42,580 --> 00:16:44,899
so beautiful, and it was it was night
430
00:16:44,899 --> 00:16:46,980
almost, but we could the sun was going
431
00:16:46,980 --> 00:16:48,600
down. We could see Saint George
432
00:16:49,184 --> 00:16:50,004
Reef Lighthouse
433
00:16:50,625 --> 00:16:53,345
wonderfully, and we were showing it off. Oh,
434
00:16:53,345 --> 00:16:55,585
look. And they said, yeah. We were wondering
435
00:16:55,585 --> 00:16:57,585
what that is. What is that? I mean,
436
00:16:57,585 --> 00:17:00,545
if you don't know Right. And yeah. Right?
437
00:17:00,705 --> 00:17:02,384
Nowhere to look and kinda And it it
438
00:17:02,384 --> 00:17:03,990
was the worst thing because it's it's so
439
00:17:03,990 --> 00:17:05,670
iconic. Right? But, I mean, if you didn't
440
00:17:06,150 --> 00:17:07,910
You remember the first time you saw it?
441
00:17:07,910 --> 00:17:09,509
I mean, about four or five years ago
442
00:17:09,509 --> 00:17:12,230
when you moved here. I remember watching saw
443
00:17:12,230 --> 00:17:13,769
it in Brookings. Amazing.
444
00:17:14,150 --> 00:17:16,590
Oh my gosh. It was just a bear.
445
00:17:16,789 --> 00:17:19,049
That. Alright. So, John, are you a volunteer?
446
00:17:19,664 --> 00:17:21,045
Yes. You're a presidential
447
00:17:21,585 --> 00:17:23,904
volunteer? Yeah. We're all volunteers. Yeah. The whole
448
00:17:23,904 --> 00:17:24,404
organization,
449
00:17:25,105 --> 00:17:27,125
although everybody on the board and,
450
00:17:27,744 --> 00:17:29,985
and other people, we all volunteer our time.
451
00:17:29,985 --> 00:17:32,159
How many people are on the board? There's
452
00:17:32,159 --> 00:17:33,139
11. Well,
453
00:17:33,759 --> 00:17:36,079
there's one that just stepped down, but we
454
00:17:36,079 --> 00:17:37,779
we normally have had 11.
455
00:17:38,319 --> 00:17:40,879
Well, I think boards are incredibly important, and
456
00:17:40,879 --> 00:17:42,559
the bigger the board, the better. That's what
457
00:17:42,559 --> 00:17:44,319
I think. I think, really, for it to
458
00:17:44,319 --> 00:17:46,740
get more voices, get more people. Small.
459
00:17:47,294 --> 00:17:49,154
So how you you were a landscape
460
00:17:49,774 --> 00:17:52,194
person. What got you interested in lighthouses?
461
00:17:52,974 --> 00:17:54,674
Well, when I was a
462
00:17:54,974 --> 00:17:56,974
kid, we used to go down to Cannon
463
00:17:56,974 --> 00:17:57,875
Beach, Oregon,
464
00:17:58,575 --> 00:18:00,034
which is, about
465
00:18:00,380 --> 00:18:01,519
95 miles
466
00:18:01,820 --> 00:18:02,960
northwest of Portland.
467
00:18:03,500 --> 00:18:06,700
And my cousin had a, cottage down there,
468
00:18:06,700 --> 00:18:08,799
a couple cottages, and we used to rent
469
00:18:08,940 --> 00:18:10,480
one of them every spring vacation.
470
00:18:11,420 --> 00:18:12,315
And just
471
00:18:12,794 --> 00:18:13,454
on the
472
00:18:14,154 --> 00:18:15,914
northwest corner of her property, you can see
473
00:18:15,914 --> 00:18:17,615
Tillamook Rock Lighthouse offshore.
474
00:18:18,554 --> 00:18:19,054
And,
475
00:18:20,075 --> 00:18:20,575
ironic,
476
00:18:20,954 --> 00:18:23,514
that the engineer that built Saint George Reef
477
00:18:23,514 --> 00:18:24,014
Lighthouse,
478
00:18:24,554 --> 00:18:27,210
he had just finished building Tillamook Rock, and
479
00:18:27,210 --> 00:18:28,909
then he started Saint George.
480
00:18:29,529 --> 00:18:31,130
Tillamook Rock, is it out in the water?
481
00:18:31,130 --> 00:18:32,409
Or This is a mile and a half
482
00:18:32,409 --> 00:18:34,650
offshore. Mile and a half? Yeah. Wow. Roughly
483
00:18:34,650 --> 00:18:36,569
the same height as Saint George. A little
484
00:18:36,569 --> 00:18:37,529
bit shorter, but,
485
00:18:38,169 --> 00:18:40,169
it's, I think, a 133 feet, and Saint
486
00:18:40,169 --> 00:18:41,595
George is a 146.
487
00:18:41,674 --> 00:18:44,315
And so it's, like, similar plans of building
488
00:18:44,315 --> 00:18:45,534
it? No.
489
00:18:46,234 --> 00:18:48,954
Saint George, you see a low rock with
490
00:18:48,954 --> 00:18:49,934
a large,
491
00:18:50,954 --> 00:18:52,414
case on which the tower
492
00:18:52,714 --> 00:18:55,115
is built upon that, whereas Tomac Rock had
493
00:18:55,115 --> 00:18:56,549
a taller rock.
494
00:18:57,110 --> 00:18:58,730
But the building is built,
495
00:18:59,269 --> 00:19:02,150
it it the building itself is considerably shorter
496
00:19:02,150 --> 00:19:04,009
than the tower at Saint George, probably
497
00:19:04,869 --> 00:19:07,670
probably about fourteen, fifteen feet, and it it
498
00:19:07,670 --> 00:19:08,809
goes, more
499
00:19:09,234 --> 00:19:09,734
horizontal.
500
00:19:10,595 --> 00:19:13,394
But, they both if you compare the height
501
00:19:13,394 --> 00:19:15,714
of where the the light is Mhmm. Or
502
00:19:15,714 --> 00:19:16,214
was,
503
00:19:16,994 --> 00:19:18,994
they're roughly the same height, about 12 foot
504
00:19:18,994 --> 00:19:20,914
difference. Very interesting. Well, that's the one we
505
00:19:20,914 --> 00:19:23,234
couldn't see. Remember, we drove around Tillamook that
506
00:19:23,234 --> 00:19:24,940
one time. We went up to Florence on
507
00:19:24,940 --> 00:19:27,180
the way there, and we looked and just
508
00:19:27,180 --> 00:19:29,259
couldn't find it. Is there is there a
509
00:19:29,259 --> 00:19:30,460
point where you can just drive out and
510
00:19:30,460 --> 00:19:31,980
everybody can see it? Well, you go up
511
00:19:31,980 --> 00:19:33,660
to Ecola State Park, North of Cannon Beach,
512
00:19:33,660 --> 00:19:35,200
and you Ecola. Ecola.
513
00:19:35,580 --> 00:19:37,039
Oh, Ecola. Yep.
514
00:19:37,654 --> 00:19:41,174
Oh, you're talking Tilam Tilamaug Rock. Oh, okay.
515
00:19:41,174 --> 00:19:43,755
You're talking about Cape Mears, probably. Right down.
516
00:19:44,054 --> 00:19:45,674
Yeah. Way down here. Okay.
517
00:19:46,454 --> 00:19:48,454
Okay. Gotcha now. Drive down Hey. I did
518
00:19:48,454 --> 00:19:50,775
some research and found that The United States
519
00:19:50,775 --> 00:19:51,914
has the most lighthouses
520
00:19:52,369 --> 00:19:53,509
of any country.
521
00:19:53,970 --> 00:19:57,670
Sources consistently identified The US with about 700
522
00:19:57,809 --> 00:19:59,830
active or standing lighthouses today,
523
00:20:00,289 --> 00:20:03,250
outpacing others globally. I guess globally, there's I
524
00:20:03,250 --> 00:20:05,509
think 17 or 18,000
525
00:20:05,650 --> 00:20:07,670
lighthouses, so they play a big part.
526
00:20:08,285 --> 00:20:10,365
I stay active because The US has built
527
00:20:10,365 --> 00:20:12,144
1,500 lighthouses altogether,
528
00:20:12,765 --> 00:20:14,785
peaking around 1910,
529
00:20:15,164 --> 00:20:17,644
when the it peaked out then. At that
530
00:20:17,644 --> 00:20:19,744
time, there were 850
531
00:20:20,044 --> 00:20:20,544
operating
532
00:20:20,924 --> 00:20:23,505
lighthouses. That's amazing. Now, that said,
533
00:20:23,859 --> 00:20:26,599
I want you before you give the answer,
534
00:20:26,899 --> 00:20:28,359
I do want to ask you
535
00:20:28,819 --> 00:20:29,480
a question.
536
00:20:29,859 --> 00:20:32,839
Please or just please tell all the audience
537
00:20:33,139 --> 00:20:35,539
which of all the 50 states has the
538
00:20:35,539 --> 00:20:37,639
most lighthouses. Is it Maine?
539
00:20:38,335 --> 00:20:39,315
Is it Washington?
540
00:20:40,015 --> 00:20:41,154
Is it California,
541
00:20:42,414 --> 00:20:43,235
North Carolina,
542
00:20:43,615 --> 00:20:45,695
or Florida? What is it? What are those
543
00:20:45,695 --> 00:20:46,994
five? Michigan.
544
00:20:48,494 --> 00:20:48,994
Michigan?
545
00:20:49,695 --> 00:20:51,634
You mean the Great Lakes has more?
546
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,400
Michigan has the whole coastline. Is not even
547
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,819
on here. Yeah. Michigan is on Darn it.
548
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,599
I messed up. Lake Michigan and Lake Lake
549
00:21:00,599 --> 00:21:02,359
Huron go on both sides of,
550
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,319
of, the state of Michigan, and they have
551
00:21:05,319 --> 00:21:06,884
a I believe well, depends on who you
552
00:21:06,884 --> 00:21:08,825
ask, but I've read a 118.
553
00:21:09,045 --> 00:21:10,664
I've read also a 140.
554
00:21:11,285 --> 00:21:13,845
Woah. Yep. Maybe one trip on one summer,
555
00:21:13,845 --> 00:21:15,765
we should go back there and count them.
556
00:21:15,765 --> 00:21:17,625
Yeah. I've never seen a lighthouse from Michigan.
557
00:21:17,924 --> 00:21:19,525
Hey. I didn't know. Lake Michigan is a
558
00:21:19,525 --> 00:21:21,069
cool. It's really a whole world out there.
559
00:21:21,069 --> 00:21:22,909
There's Lake Huron too. It's on both sides
560
00:21:22,909 --> 00:21:24,429
of the state. So, I mean, there's a
561
00:21:24,429 --> 00:21:25,250
lot of coastline.
562
00:21:25,869 --> 00:21:27,950
Now as far as the coastal lighthouses, Maine
563
00:21:27,950 --> 00:21:28,849
has the most.
564
00:21:29,230 --> 00:21:31,149
A coastal lighthouse and Maine has the well,
565
00:21:31,149 --> 00:21:32,829
I was I thought you were gonna say
566
00:21:32,829 --> 00:21:33,329
Oklahoma.
567
00:21:33,715 --> 00:21:35,475
I know. Before you said that one last
568
00:21:35,475 --> 00:21:36,535
time. Yeah. Yeah.
569
00:21:37,235 --> 00:21:38,595
I know. I think I said Kansas or
570
00:21:38,595 --> 00:21:40,934
Nebraska. Yeah. I know. You didn't. I know.
571
00:21:40,994 --> 00:21:41,494
Yay.
572
00:21:42,275 --> 00:21:45,315
Why was the lighthouse built and when? Ours,
573
00:21:45,315 --> 00:21:47,440
that is, the Saint George Ring. Saint George
574
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,000
is built, they had conceived about the idea
575
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,000
right after the sinking of the brother, Jonathan,
576
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:53,460
in 1865.
577
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:55,920
But as everybody knows, there was a civil
578
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:57,860
war that had just concluded. The
579
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,480
United States Treasury was pretty broke. So they
580
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:01,840
didn't build the lighthouse until
581
00:22:02,355 --> 00:22:04,194
they started in 1882.
582
00:22:04,434 --> 00:22:05,974
The fellow by the name
583
00:22:06,275 --> 00:22:07,575
of Alexander Ballantine,
584
00:22:07,875 --> 00:22:08,775
we started,
585
00:22:09,954 --> 00:22:12,855
the construction of the lighthouse or the soundings
586
00:22:12,914 --> 00:22:15,950
around the rock and so forth. In 1882
587
00:22:15,950 --> 00:22:18,029
after he finished Helmut Rock Lighthouse in the
588
00:22:18,029 --> 00:22:18,850
state of Oregon.
589
00:22:19,789 --> 00:22:20,269
And,
590
00:22:20,670 --> 00:22:21,170
the
591
00:22:21,789 --> 00:22:24,190
construction of the lighthouse occupied a period of
592
00:22:24,190 --> 00:22:24,930
ten years
593
00:22:26,269 --> 00:22:27,630
from 1882
594
00:22:27,630 --> 00:22:28,130
to
595
00:22:28,484 --> 00:22:29,285
1892
596
00:22:29,285 --> 00:22:32,424
when they finally got the, lens, from France.
597
00:22:32,484 --> 00:22:34,404
In those days, had to go around Cape
598
00:22:34,404 --> 00:22:36,664
Horn to get the Woah. Lens,
599
00:22:37,045 --> 00:22:38,904
delivered from France. Dang.
600
00:22:39,765 --> 00:22:43,305
The the building was essentially finished in 1891.
601
00:22:44,090 --> 00:22:46,009
It did not take that amount of time
602
00:22:46,009 --> 00:22:47,369
between 1882
603
00:22:47,369 --> 00:22:48,750
and 1891
604
00:22:48,890 --> 00:22:52,109
to finish the building. But Congress would appropriate
605
00:22:52,330 --> 00:22:54,570
less monies one year, more monies other years.
606
00:22:54,570 --> 00:22:56,809
One year, they didn't appropriate any at all.
607
00:22:56,809 --> 00:22:57,789
You had a short
608
00:22:58,184 --> 00:23:00,184
season to, work out there because of the
609
00:23:00,184 --> 00:23:00,684
weather.
610
00:23:01,304 --> 00:23:04,204
But, it ended up being the most expensive
611
00:23:04,345 --> 00:23:06,984
lighthouse in The United States ever built. I've
612
00:23:06,984 --> 00:23:08,825
actually read in places that it was the
613
00:23:08,825 --> 00:23:11,065
most expensive lighthouse in the world that was
614
00:23:11,065 --> 00:23:13,619
ever built. I'm not so sure that's true
615
00:23:13,619 --> 00:23:14,839
because you have to
616
00:23:15,299 --> 00:23:17,380
there are a lot of of wave washed
617
00:23:17,380 --> 00:23:19,400
lighthouses out on rocks in France
618
00:23:20,019 --> 00:23:21,480
and in Scotland,
619
00:23:22,019 --> 00:23:22,920
England, Ireland
620
00:23:23,460 --> 00:23:24,200
that are
621
00:23:25,220 --> 00:23:28,305
Saint George's equal construction wise that were built
622
00:23:28,865 --> 00:23:30,965
around the same time or earlier. And
623
00:23:31,505 --> 00:23:33,184
it's hard to figure out how much they
624
00:23:33,184 --> 00:23:35,765
cost, you know, pounds or francs compared to
625
00:23:35,825 --> 00:23:37,505
dollars in the years they were building and
626
00:23:37,505 --> 00:23:39,265
so forth. But there are some of them
627
00:23:39,265 --> 00:23:41,744
that were were definitely Saint George's equal as
628
00:23:41,744 --> 00:23:43,765
far as difficulty. In this country,
629
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:45,140
it is,
630
00:23:45,759 --> 00:23:47,519
without a doubt, the most difficult,
631
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,000
structure that was ever built the lighthouse built
632
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:51,859
in the country. In addition to to
633
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,119
being out there, it's it's eight, whatever, miles,
634
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:56,099
6.5.
635
00:23:57,654 --> 00:24:00,535
It's not like it's rippling tiny waves to
636
00:24:00,535 --> 00:24:02,055
get down there. You have to take the
637
00:24:02,055 --> 00:24:04,775
ships. They cannot write to build it, and
638
00:24:04,775 --> 00:24:07,115
they can sometimes not land or they cannot
639
00:24:07,494 --> 00:24:09,654
Well, they can never They never could land
640
00:24:09,654 --> 00:24:10,380
any ship
641
00:24:11,180 --> 00:24:12,720
near the rock. What they did
642
00:24:13,019 --> 00:24:14,400
is once they got people,
643
00:24:14,940 --> 00:24:16,880
workmen on there, they created a
644
00:24:17,180 --> 00:24:19,420
a cable trolley system and attached to the
645
00:24:19,420 --> 00:24:21,259
mast of a ship that was anchored about
646
00:24:21,259 --> 00:24:22,880
three half, 400 feet away.
647
00:24:23,394 --> 00:24:25,954
And they used a conveyance between the ship's
648
00:24:25,954 --> 00:24:27,174
mast and the lighthouse
649
00:24:27,555 --> 00:24:29,255
running workmen back and forth
650
00:24:29,555 --> 00:24:32,115
as they were constructing the lighthouse blasting rock
651
00:24:32,115 --> 00:24:34,115
off and, you know, making a surface in
652
00:24:34,115 --> 00:24:35,795
which to build build the lighthouse and so
653
00:24:35,795 --> 00:24:37,079
on. In like a zip line that they
654
00:24:37,079 --> 00:24:39,160
would try to mount it? Basically. It would
655
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:40,759
hold six people at a time. And it
656
00:24:40,759 --> 00:24:42,759
was made of rope, though. There was, I
657
00:24:42,759 --> 00:24:44,700
think, cable. Oh, it was a cable. Yeah.
658
00:24:44,919 --> 00:24:45,819
But it was
659
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,759
they, I think they lost only one life
660
00:24:48,759 --> 00:24:50,945
in the construction of the lighthouse. They lost
661
00:24:50,945 --> 00:24:52,945
several more later over the course of its,
662
00:24:53,265 --> 00:24:53,984
service. But,
663
00:24:54,865 --> 00:24:56,484
it was a it was a dangerous,
664
00:24:57,664 --> 00:25:00,404
a dangerous place to work. And and, Ballantine,
665
00:25:00,545 --> 00:25:01,605
who was the engineer,
666
00:25:01,904 --> 00:25:03,960
learned a lot of lessons from working at
667
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,119
Tomahawk because they had the same problem. They
668
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,539
had to rent a conveyance back and forth.
669
00:25:08,919 --> 00:25:10,919
They also had people camping on the rock
670
00:25:10,919 --> 00:25:12,380
because at the time, it was,
671
00:25:12,839 --> 00:25:15,480
they started construction. It was over a 120
672
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,025
feet high. They blasted it down 89
673
00:25:18,404 --> 00:25:19,204
feet, but they,
674
00:25:20,005 --> 00:25:21,464
they, had they had
675
00:25:22,085 --> 00:25:23,684
a, major storms out there where they were
676
00:25:23,684 --> 00:25:25,365
marooned out there, and the waves are going
677
00:25:25,365 --> 00:25:27,525
over the top of the rock and almost
678
00:25:27,525 --> 00:25:29,819
lost all the construction workers because of the
679
00:25:29,819 --> 00:25:31,339
bad weather, and the ship couldn't get anywhere
680
00:25:31,339 --> 00:25:32,779
near it. I would love to be out
681
00:25:32,779 --> 00:25:34,220
there with that kind of a storm tied
682
00:25:34,220 --> 00:25:36,299
to a big reef or a pipe. Now
683
00:25:36,299 --> 00:25:37,819
what is it built on? I've heard what
684
00:25:37,819 --> 00:25:40,059
is a bizarre like, dragon something? Is it
685
00:25:40,220 --> 00:25:41,595
They call it the Dragon Rocks.
686
00:25:42,075 --> 00:25:44,714
Dragon Rocks. I think, was it the George
687
00:25:44,714 --> 00:25:46,234
Vancouver named the lighthouse
688
00:25:47,034 --> 00:25:47,595
named the,
689
00:25:48,154 --> 00:25:48,815
the reef.
690
00:25:49,755 --> 00:25:51,994
But each, each of the major rocks has
691
00:25:51,994 --> 00:25:54,554
a name now. Saint George, we have flat
692
00:25:54,554 --> 00:25:57,170
houses built on Northwest Seal Rock, and that
693
00:25:57,170 --> 00:25:59,570
is at the very bitter end of Saint
694
00:25:59,570 --> 00:26:01,009
George's Reef or if you wanna call them
695
00:26:01,009 --> 00:26:02,789
the Dragon Rock, same same difference.
696
00:26:03,890 --> 00:26:05,570
And they wanted to build it at the
697
00:26:05,570 --> 00:26:06,950
furthest out because,
698
00:26:07,650 --> 00:26:08,150
otherwise,
699
00:26:08,849 --> 00:26:11,475
you could build the lighthouse inland at another
700
00:26:11,475 --> 00:26:13,634
rock and it could still hit the Oh,
701
00:26:13,634 --> 00:26:15,394
so I guess the furthest out I was
702
00:26:15,394 --> 00:26:17,234
wondering because you don't see a lot of
703
00:26:17,234 --> 00:26:19,075
rocks. You see some left and right, but
704
00:26:19,075 --> 00:26:20,595
I guess you see more when it's the
705
00:26:20,595 --> 00:26:22,835
low tide. Yes. And there's several of them
706
00:26:22,835 --> 00:26:24,759
that are are not seen, that are below
707
00:26:24,759 --> 00:26:26,759
the surface, but enough to tear the whole
708
00:26:26,759 --> 00:26:27,960
lot of a ship. That's what happened to
709
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,700
brother Jonathan. Yeah. It had an uncharted rock
710
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:32,599
Oh. Along the side of that. I think
711
00:26:32,599 --> 00:26:35,500
it's now called Jonathan Rock. Oh. Yeah. Yeah.
712
00:26:35,559 --> 00:26:37,319
Well So how tall is it again? You
713
00:26:37,319 --> 00:26:38,920
said a hundred and seven? Hundred and forty
714
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:40,454
six. A 146.
715
00:26:40,454 --> 00:26:42,954
Wait. The caisson that it's built on is
716
00:26:43,015 --> 00:26:43,595
is seventy
717
00:26:44,055 --> 00:26:46,454
seventy. And then the tower is another 74
718
00:26:46,454 --> 00:26:49,515
feet or 76 feet. Wow. Now
719
00:26:49,974 --> 00:26:51,329
So so the rock was
720
00:26:51,809 --> 00:26:54,450
98 feet, and so now you took 30
721
00:26:54,450 --> 00:26:55,990
feet off? No. No. That's Tomacrock.
722
00:26:56,450 --> 00:26:58,690
Tomacrock went from one twenty down to 89
723
00:26:58,690 --> 00:27:01,429
feet. But ours was 54 feet.
724
00:27:01,890 --> 00:27:04,690
Okay. And they blasted down. And it's roughly
725
00:27:04,690 --> 00:27:05,750
17 feet.
726
00:27:06,664 --> 00:27:08,664
And and and to to in order to
727
00:27:08,664 --> 00:27:10,505
to create a surface that they could build
728
00:27:10,505 --> 00:27:12,684
on. Right. Yeah. Was it kind of,
729
00:27:13,144 --> 00:27:15,384
like, steep that they couldn't? So they have
730
00:27:15,384 --> 00:27:18,025
now they did that not because it was
731
00:27:18,025 --> 00:27:20,049
easier because they had a flatter. Stone. They
732
00:27:20,049 --> 00:27:22,289
have flat surface. It's an inverted pyramid the
733
00:27:22,289 --> 00:27:23,890
way the thing's built. I mean, they they
734
00:27:23,890 --> 00:27:26,849
actually locked in the the case on built
735
00:27:26,849 --> 00:27:27,349
around,
736
00:27:28,289 --> 00:27:30,529
the stone that that they they actually locked
737
00:27:30,529 --> 00:27:33,194
the stones into the the rock themselves. So
738
00:27:33,194 --> 00:27:34,095
how many stones?
739
00:27:34,795 --> 00:27:36,095
About 1,400.
740
00:27:36,154 --> 00:27:38,414
1,400 stone blocks. 1,400
741
00:27:38,634 --> 00:27:41,275
massive granite blocks. How big is the biggest
742
00:27:41,275 --> 00:27:42,974
block? 17 tons.
743
00:27:43,595 --> 00:27:44,734
I get it was all
744
00:27:45,899 --> 00:27:49,279
conveyed by the table or whatever. Yeah. Well,
745
00:27:49,500 --> 00:27:51,819
they had, they had steam equipment out there
746
00:27:51,819 --> 00:27:52,700
that would pull the,
747
00:27:53,500 --> 00:27:55,259
the, stones off the the,
748
00:27:56,139 --> 00:27:57,899
the barges or whatever that they hauled the
749
00:27:57,899 --> 00:27:58,799
stones out.
750
00:27:59,384 --> 00:28:01,144
Most of them were, I think, in the
751
00:28:01,144 --> 00:28:02,525
two, two and a half ton,
752
00:28:03,785 --> 00:28:04,285
size.
753
00:28:05,065 --> 00:28:05,305
But,
754
00:28:06,664 --> 00:28:08,765
I don't have a breakdown on, you know,
755
00:28:08,825 --> 00:28:11,320
how many stones of each weight, but the
756
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:12,380
largest was 17
757
00:28:12,759 --> 00:28:15,160
Yeah. And the smallest was was two two
758
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:16,759
two two and a half tons. No. So
759
00:28:16,759 --> 00:28:19,000
the 17 is that's one ship. Right? I
760
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:20,940
mean, do or is it Yeah. One
761
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,600
one rocket ships that that fits on one
762
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,085
ship? Right. Jeez. Wow. Wow. Wow. And they
763
00:28:27,085 --> 00:28:28,845
were dry fitted on shore. You know, they're
764
00:28:28,845 --> 00:28:30,605
all numbered and so forth, so they lock
765
00:28:30,605 --> 00:28:32,845
together like a jigsaw puzzle. Yeah. How cool
766
00:28:32,845 --> 00:28:35,404
is that? Folks, time flies when we're having
767
00:28:35,404 --> 00:28:38,125

802
00:29:51,784 --> 00:29:54,744
And lastly, my dear co host, doctor Gigi
803
00:29:54,744 --> 00:29:57,164
Reed and yours truly, Jacques Kepner. On behalf
804
00:29:57,224 --> 00:29:58,284
of KCIW,
805
00:29:58,984 --> 00:30:01,625
thanks to all of you. Now let me
806
00:30:01,625 --> 00:30:04,184
get up here and ask real quick. Again,
807
00:30:04,184 --> 00:30:07,330
it cost back in the day over $800,000?
808
00:30:07,330 --> 00:30:08,609
752,
809
00:30:08,609 --> 00:30:11,430
I think, is what it was. Wow. And
810
00:30:11,570 --> 00:30:13,509
that's a huge amount of money,
811
00:30:13,890 --> 00:30:18,049
in comparison today. That's multi multi millions. 21
812
00:30:18,049 --> 00:30:20,674
or 30,000,000, something like that. I I checked
813
00:30:20,674 --> 00:30:23,095
at one point in converting the dollars, but
814
00:30:23,315 --> 00:30:24,455
it's over 20,000,000.
815
00:30:24,674 --> 00:30:27,235
And so we we see enough rocks just
816
00:30:27,235 --> 00:30:29,154
visually as we walk along the shore. We
817
00:30:29,154 --> 00:30:30,615
often do in Crested City
818
00:30:31,029 --> 00:30:33,109
and parts of Brookings, there's so many rocks
819
00:30:33,109 --> 00:30:35,210
out there and how this could
820
00:30:35,750 --> 00:30:38,630
have shipwrecked. I mean, just tore up. We
821
00:30:38,630 --> 00:30:40,549
understand how it could happen. And with the
822
00:30:40,549 --> 00:30:43,684
tides going higher, that would be really Lousy
823
00:30:43,684 --> 00:30:45,525
weather. I mean, they they had fog. They
824
00:30:45,525 --> 00:30:46,565
had what they called,
825
00:30:47,845 --> 00:30:49,125
I'm trying to think of the word they
826
00:30:49,125 --> 00:30:49,924
used with,
827
00:30:51,125 --> 00:30:53,045
it would create a mist where you couldn't
828
00:30:53,045 --> 00:30:54,964
see anything, you know, from the waves. So
829
00:30:54,964 --> 00:30:56,669
this is during a storm. Yeah. And it
830
00:30:56,669 --> 00:30:59,149
was like a whiteout. A whiteout. Yeah. Wow.
831
00:30:59,149 --> 00:31:00,990
And the ship was overloaded, and,
832
00:31:01,549 --> 00:31:03,230
a lot of the sidewall steamers in that
833
00:31:03,230 --> 00:31:04,369
area were underpowered.
834
00:31:05,389 --> 00:31:05,889
So
835
00:31:06,269 --> 00:31:08,904
here you got it overloaded, bad weather Full
836
00:31:08,904 --> 00:31:11,244
of people. And full of people and supplies.
837
00:31:11,545 --> 00:31:13,305
And, they're trying to get back to Crescent
838
00:31:13,305 --> 00:31:15,224
City because the weather was so bad. And
839
00:31:15,625 --> 00:31:17,545
But the the guy said go ahead. Go
840
00:31:17,865 --> 00:31:20,265
one of their the guys transported. Did they
841
00:31:20,265 --> 00:31:21,704
have gold on it or something? They had
842
00:31:21,704 --> 00:31:23,460
gold on it. A lot of gold, which
843
00:31:23,460 --> 00:31:24,980
they have found in the meantime some of
844
00:31:24,980 --> 00:31:25,480
it.
845
00:31:26,099 --> 00:31:28,659
And, yeah, there's a lot of gold. Okay.
846
00:31:28,659 --> 00:31:31,880
Yeah. When why was it decommissioned and when?
847
00:31:32,339 --> 00:31:34,039
It was the last, lighthouse,
848
00:31:35,140 --> 00:31:37,140
on the West Coast that was manned by
849
00:31:37,140 --> 00:31:38,359
people, wasn't automated,
850
00:31:39,025 --> 00:31:41,924
and it was decommissioned in 1975.
851
00:31:43,744 --> 00:31:46,224
They did not attempt to, automate it. They
852
00:31:46,224 --> 00:31:47,184
decided to put a,
853
00:31:48,224 --> 00:31:51,045
a ocean a large ocean buoy out there
854
00:31:51,265 --> 00:31:52,325
to mark the reef.
855
00:31:53,890 --> 00:31:56,289
The reason why they, decommissioned was,
856
00:31:56,769 --> 00:31:58,150
a couple of reasons. One was
857
00:31:58,769 --> 00:32:02,289
most of the, shipping has gone westward a
858
00:32:02,289 --> 00:32:04,049
great deal, so they don't hug the coast
859
00:32:04,049 --> 00:32:05,650
like they used to. Yeah. They go farther
860
00:32:05,650 --> 00:32:07,750
out to sea. Right? Yeah. Much much further.
861
00:32:08,134 --> 00:32:09,595
GPS, of course, although
862
00:32:10,934 --> 00:32:11,434
in
863
00:32:12,294 --> 00:32:13,974
You're you're good. You're good. Yeah. G p
864
00:32:14,134 --> 00:32:14,634
GPS,
865
00:32:15,654 --> 00:32:17,894
at that time wasn't created yet, but,
866
00:32:18,454 --> 00:32:19,894
they were like I said, they were six
867
00:32:19,894 --> 00:32:20,394
miles,
868
00:32:21,014 --> 00:32:23,194
further west about with the
869
00:32:23,730 --> 00:32:24,470
with the,
870
00:32:25,009 --> 00:32:25,509
the,
871
00:32:26,049 --> 00:32:27,589
shipping lanes. And,
872
00:32:28,289 --> 00:32:30,690
the, lighthouse is the most expensive in the
873
00:32:30,690 --> 00:32:32,289
West Coast to maintain. I mean, you had
874
00:32:32,369 --> 00:32:33,970
there was a four keeper light there, three
875
00:32:33,970 --> 00:32:35,029
on and one off.
876
00:32:35,585 --> 00:32:37,984
Wow. You know? Well, Crescent City itself has
877
00:32:37,984 --> 00:32:40,464
a lighthouse, which probably is only there for
878
00:32:40,464 --> 00:32:43,424
beauty or something. Battery point. It's a private
879
00:32:43,424 --> 00:32:45,585
aided navigation. They actually moved the light on
880
00:32:45,585 --> 00:32:47,345
the end of the breakwater, and and so
881
00:32:47,345 --> 00:32:49,025
that's when they quit. That was in the
882
00:32:49,025 --> 00:32:51,640
sixties that they they decommissioned that line, and
883
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:53,580
then they created a private aid in navigation
884
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:55,799
later. Oh, that's a great we have it's
885
00:32:55,799 --> 00:32:58,440
Chris City built supposed to lighthouse. Was that
886
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:00,119
our money? Yeah. That because we created a
887
00:33:00,119 --> 00:33:02,119
private aid in navigation out of Saint George
888
00:33:02,119 --> 00:33:03,559
as well. You know, we've got light out
889
00:33:03,559 --> 00:33:04,934
there too, which we're gonna fix.
890
00:33:05,628 --> 00:33:08,154
Really? How cool is that? Alright. Nice. Okay.
891
00:33:08,295 --> 00:33:09,914
Tell us about the future.
892
00:33:10,375 --> 00:33:12,455
Yeah. Right. Not now. Tower. When was the
893
00:33:12,455 --> 00:33:14,315
Saint George Reef Lighthouse Preservation
894
00:33:15,015 --> 00:33:18,215
Society founded and by whom? 1986
895
00:33:18,215 --> 00:33:19,434
by Guy Towers,
896
00:33:20,170 --> 00:33:22,750
and, he was the one that was responsible
897
00:33:22,890 --> 00:33:23,869
to save the lighthouse.
898
00:33:25,609 --> 00:33:26,009
And,
899
00:33:26,730 --> 00:33:28,330
it took him about ten years to go
900
00:33:28,330 --> 00:33:30,730
through all the, bureaucratic, you know, the paperwork
901
00:33:30,730 --> 00:33:33,365
and so forth. 1996 was the first flight
902
00:33:33,365 --> 00:33:35,204
out. And then ever since, we've been working
903
00:33:35,204 --> 00:33:38,164
on getting it restored and getting it available
904
00:33:38,164 --> 00:33:39,765
for tours, which, of course, the two of
905
00:33:39,765 --> 00:33:41,365
you are gonna be going out there pretty
906
00:33:41,365 --> 00:33:42,585
soon and seeing the lighthouse.
907
00:33:42,964 --> 00:33:44,099
That'll be March.
908
00:33:44,259 --> 00:33:45,700
You know, February,
909
00:33:45,700 --> 00:33:48,200
early March. Yeah. Mhmm. Wow. Now,
910
00:33:48,500 --> 00:33:50,339
they when you said we flight the flight
911
00:33:50,339 --> 00:33:52,339
out there, do they land small planes out
912
00:33:52,339 --> 00:33:52,839
there?
913
00:33:53,619 --> 00:33:54,759
Small helicopters.
914
00:33:55,220 --> 00:33:57,460
Oh, darn it. Yeah. Yeah. They Not a
915
00:33:57,460 --> 00:33:59,319
runway. A plane might land once.
916
00:34:00,065 --> 00:34:01,904
If it hits the building, it'll never take
917
00:34:01,904 --> 00:34:03,984
off. Oh, I see. I see. Yeah. Now
918
00:34:03,984 --> 00:34:05,505
I gotta say one other thing before your
919
00:34:05,505 --> 00:34:09,905
your question's coming up. But it's a 146
920
00:34:09,905 --> 00:34:13,184
feet tall. Right. And the Frenzel lens is
921
00:34:13,184 --> 00:34:15,125
from France made the Right. Right?
922
00:34:15,469 --> 00:34:17,329
And at one point, waves
923
00:34:18,109 --> 00:34:19,989
went over the top of the lighthouse and
924
00:34:19,989 --> 00:34:21,069
broke More than once.
925
00:34:21,469 --> 00:34:24,429
And broke through the glass Yes. Flooded the
926
00:34:24,429 --> 00:34:26,510
stairs of spirally stairs. Yeah. Water went down
927
00:34:26,510 --> 00:34:28,585
like a waterfall. Shaking the building all the
928
00:34:28,585 --> 00:34:30,525
way down the engine room. Yep. Oh
929
00:34:31,065 --> 00:34:33,704
my goodness. What mother nature And people were
930
00:34:33,704 --> 00:34:35,625
on there. Right? I interviewed the keeper that
931
00:34:35,625 --> 00:34:38,105
was out there when it happened. 1958?
932
00:34:38,105 --> 00:34:39,305
Wasn't it? 1952.
933
00:34:39,305 --> 00:34:41,244
Yeah. Oh, my god. He's now 93.
934
00:34:41,650 --> 00:34:43,969
My god. Can you imagine a wave because
935
00:34:43,969 --> 00:34:46,130
that was tsunami. Right? It's like tsunami. So
936
00:34:46,130 --> 00:34:47,489
he thought that we they thought they were
937
00:34:47,489 --> 00:34:48,849
at the farm. He he was sure the
938
00:34:48,849 --> 00:34:51,409
thing was gonna go over. Oh. Oh, wow.
939
00:34:51,409 --> 00:34:53,829
Wow. Yeah. PTSD. I'm telling you. PTSD.
940
00:34:54,505 --> 00:34:57,005
So you're busy trying to preserve
941
00:34:58,025 --> 00:35:00,344
the monument. Yes. Right? So how much in
942
00:35:00,344 --> 00:35:02,264
a perfect world, how much money will it
943
00:35:02,264 --> 00:35:03,244
cost to restore
944
00:35:03,704 --> 00:35:06,025
this We're looking at the the work that
945
00:35:06,025 --> 00:35:09,210
we've got slated to go at this point
946
00:35:09,210 --> 00:35:10,349
is about 10,000,000.
947
00:35:10,650 --> 00:35:11,389
I doubled
948
00:35:11,929 --> 00:35:14,090
it because there's always things you're not gonna
949
00:35:14,090 --> 00:35:16,570
find. You know, the stonework is in good
950
00:35:16,570 --> 00:35:19,289
shape on the outside. May need some repointing,
951
00:35:19,289 --> 00:35:20,889
but, generally, it's in pretty good shape. At
952
00:35:20,889 --> 00:35:22,909
least this is what the consultant told us.
953
00:35:23,275 --> 00:35:25,594
The interior we have, it's lined with brick,
954
00:35:25,835 --> 00:35:27,675
in the stairwell and so forth. A lot
955
00:35:27,675 --> 00:35:29,675
of it's lead based paint. We're gonna have
956
00:35:29,675 --> 00:35:32,175
to, you know, be very careful about removing
957
00:35:32,235 --> 00:35:33,215
that. Wow.
958
00:35:33,914 --> 00:35:36,510
The the metal work is what's wasting away
959
00:35:36,510 --> 00:35:38,750
on the lighthouse, up around the lantern room
960
00:35:38,750 --> 00:35:39,809
and some other areas.
961
00:35:40,269 --> 00:35:41,650
That needs to be rehabilitated.
962
00:35:42,030 --> 00:35:44,190
The a lot of the floors and the,
963
00:35:44,829 --> 00:35:47,469
different levels are out of wood. They need
964
00:35:47,469 --> 00:35:48,050
to be,
965
00:35:49,494 --> 00:35:49,994
upgraded
966
00:35:50,454 --> 00:35:51,114
and replaced,
967
00:35:51,894 --> 00:35:52,954
plumbing, piping.
968
00:35:54,695 --> 00:35:55,195
PVC?
969
00:35:55,815 --> 00:35:58,135
Well, there'll be PVC now. Yeah. It was
970
00:35:58,135 --> 00:35:58,954
metal before.
971
00:35:59,414 --> 00:36:00,135
Yeah. But,
972
00:36:00,619 --> 00:36:01,980
you know, then we've got a a,
973
00:36:02,539 --> 00:36:04,940
we're gonna do a sanitation system there that
974
00:36:04,940 --> 00:36:07,179
is compliant with the standards of today. I
975
00:36:07,179 --> 00:36:08,539
mean, it's not Do you have an outhouse
976
00:36:08,539 --> 00:36:10,960
out there right now? We haul it back.
977
00:36:11,099 --> 00:36:13,034
You know, that's all we gotta do. Yep.
978
00:36:13,034 --> 00:36:15,355
Oh my god. Die. Yeah. Well, we will
979
00:36:15,355 --> 00:36:17,194
make sure we, don't have to use the
980
00:36:17,194 --> 00:36:19,594
restroom. Yeah. Well, before, it it went out
981
00:36:19,594 --> 00:36:21,675
to the ocean. You know? That's like you
982
00:36:21,675 --> 00:36:23,994
know, that's what everybody did. That's right. But,
983
00:36:24,394 --> 00:36:25,829
you know, even though we're far enough out
984
00:36:25,829 --> 00:36:27,190
that we might be able to get by
985
00:36:27,190 --> 00:36:29,030
with it, we are being proactive about,
986
00:36:29,510 --> 00:36:30,010
being
987
00:36:30,470 --> 00:36:33,430
environmentally sensitive. So you think about $20,000,000.
988
00:36:33,430 --> 00:36:34,250
And congratulations
989
00:36:34,710 --> 00:36:37,190
on getting together with doc Belarde, who then
990
00:36:37,190 --> 00:36:38,715
introduced you to Mike Barr.
991
00:36:39,675 --> 00:36:41,755
Amazing how you can get a this this
992
00:36:41,755 --> 00:36:43,114
thing needs to get a grant. Well, that's
993
00:36:43,114 --> 00:36:46,094
thanks to you. So You need this this
994
00:36:46,315 --> 00:36:49,355
preservation society really truly needs to be,
995
00:36:50,155 --> 00:36:50,655
funded
996
00:36:51,035 --> 00:36:53,401
in in great ways because it's so unique.
997
00:36:53,514 --> 00:36:55,049
For the future. Right? For the future. Yeah.
998
00:36:55,049 --> 00:36:55,549
Alright.

they do YouTube videos. They're,
1007
00:37:10,164 --> 00:37:12,324

00:37:41,695 --> 00:37:42,195
twenty
1021
00:37:42,974 --> 00:37:43,474
seventh,
1022
00:37:44,175 --> 00:37:46,094
the twenty eighth and twenty ninth or twenty
1023
00:37:46,094 --> 00:37:47,909
eighth and the March 1,
1024
00:37:48,469 --> 00:37:49,829
we are having a,
1025
00:37:51,109 --> 00:37:53,210
a tour out there for two days.
1026
00:37:53,670 --> 00:37:55,769
Wow. And, we've got it mostly
1027
00:37:56,949 --> 00:37:59,449
Pretty much booked. Pretty much booked, but we've
1028
00:37:59,589 --> 00:38:00,569
added a couple,
1029
00:38:01,429 --> 00:38:03,135
flights. So if anyone is interested,
1030
00:38:04,761 --> 00:38:06,735
call, area code, (707)
1031
00:38:06,735 --> 00:38:08,974
293-1905,
1032
00:38:08,974 --> 00:38:10,894
and we can give you the information about
1033
00:38:10,894 --> 00:38:11,554
the tour
1034
00:38:11,855 --> 00:38:12,414
and then,
1035
00:38:12,974 --> 00:38:15,534
take your money. And helicopter tours are on
1036
00:38:15,534 --> 00:38:18,034
Saturday, February 28 and Sunday,
1037
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:20,519
03/01/2026
1038
00:38:20,519 --> 00:38:22,539
coming up in a few weeks. And,
1039
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:25,239
I see the prices dropped. A couple years
1040
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:26,920
ago when you did it, there was $4.95.
1041
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:29,559
Right? It was, I think you're $4.10. If
1042
00:38:29,559 --> 00:38:30,920
I recall, I'd have to look. I think
1043
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:32,954
it was 49 yeah. I remember 495.
1044
00:38:32,954 --> 00:38:34,494
We we had actually,
1045
00:38:35,835 --> 00:38:36,335
the,
1046
00:38:38,715 --> 00:38:41,295
video company has been very generous about
1047
00:38:41,835 --> 00:38:43,835
getting us out there to start with. Cool.
1048
00:38:43,835 --> 00:38:45,855
And so part of the transportation
1049
00:38:46,394 --> 00:38:48,414
is gonna be taken care of. Now once
1050
00:38:48,670 --> 00:38:50,110
we gotta go back, we just gotta bring
1051
00:38:50,110 --> 00:38:52,510
everybody back. But at that price, we ought
1052
00:38:52,510 --> 00:38:54,429
to break even. Right on. You know, this
1053
00:38:54,429 --> 00:38:56,190
is such a cool thing. So that's right.
1054
00:38:56,190 --> 00:38:57,710
$395
1055
00:38:57,710 --> 00:39:00,030
per person to be to be flown out
1056
00:39:00,190 --> 00:39:01,869
So it's helicopter to him. What what is
1057
00:39:01,869 --> 00:39:02,369
that
1058
00:39:02,829 --> 00:39:05,375
movie YouTube thing going to be? It's not
1059
00:39:05,375 --> 00:39:07,454
a romance. Is it a documentary about No.
1060
00:39:07,454 --> 00:39:08,914
It's not a documentary.
1061
00:39:09,375 --> 00:39:10,094
I think it's,
1062
00:39:10,734 --> 00:39:12,494
got a little bit of a thriller aspect
1063
00:39:12,494 --> 00:39:14,255
to it, but he hasn't really explained it
1064
00:39:14,255 --> 00:39:15,534
to me, and I haven't asked. I'm just
1065
00:39:15,534 --> 00:39:16,734
so darn glad to get out there to
1066
00:39:16,734 --> 00:39:19,019
get some work done. And, you know, I
1067
00:39:19,019 --> 00:39:20,699
mean, he can do whatever he wants. You
1068
00:39:20,699 --> 00:39:22,780
know? Alright. Very cool. Oh, that is so
1069
00:39:22,780 --> 00:39:24,380
exciting. Yeah. I mean, it was right out
1070
00:39:24,380 --> 00:39:26,300
of the blue. So, you know, we've and
1071
00:39:26,300 --> 00:39:27,980
we've had such a hard time finding a
1072
00:39:27,980 --> 00:39:30,219
helicopter. We've checked all the boxes, and this
1073
00:39:30,219 --> 00:39:32,444
one does. Yeah. In fact, the gentleman that's
1074
00:39:32,444 --> 00:39:33,744
gonna be hauling us out,
1075
00:39:34,844 --> 00:39:37,565
he, goes to all the different lighthouses in
1076

news. Next time we have you on the

1130
00:41:45,019 --> 00:41:47,359
of good news. You guys deserve a grant
1131
00:41:47,420 --> 00:41:49,739
like no one else. It's really it's a
1132
00:41:49,739 --> 00:41:51,635
great thing. Hopefully, a good time. You've been
1133
00:41:51,635 --> 00:41:54,275
extremely generous allowing me to come on to
1134
00:41:54,275 --> 00:41:55,014
talk about,
1135
00:41:55,635 --> 00:41:56,454
our lighthouse.
1136
00:41:57,474 --> 00:42:00,054
And, we are gonna allow you to
1137
00:42:00,514 --> 00:42:02,295
fly back and not swim back.
1138
00:42:02,835 --> 00:42:03,335
Right.
1139
00:42:04,739 --> 00:42:06,340
We have talked to a bunch of fishermen
1140
00:42:06,340 --> 00:42:08,260
who say it's the best fishing out there
1141
00:42:08,260 --> 00:42:09,940
around that island. Yeah. Well, you if you
1142
00:42:09,940 --> 00:42:11,699
jumped in and swam back, you'd be the
1143
00:42:11,699 --> 00:42:13,559
best fishing for the local seals.
1144
00:42:13,940 --> 00:42:14,099
So
1145
00:42:14,739 --> 00:42:16,219
The seals will get you. That's what I
1146
00:42:16,260 --> 00:42:18,039
Yeah. Give me a little snacky poo.
1147
00:42:18,655 --> 00:42:20,894
Really? K. What orch I heard Snack orch.
1148
00:42:21,055 --> 00:42:23,535
Else? No. Somebody said the sea lions would
1149
00:42:23,535 --> 00:42:25,295
get you. Right? Oh, yeah. And if they
1150
00:42:25,295 --> 00:42:26,515
don't, the orcas will.
1151
00:42:26,974 --> 00:42:29,155
Oh, my. He's looking at me like,
1152
00:42:29,615 --> 00:42:31,875
So be nice to the helicopter operator.
1153
00:42:33,300 --> 00:42:34,340
Alright. Now it's,
1154
00:42:34,900 --> 00:42:36,980
thank you, John, again for that interesting. Stick
1155
00:42:36,980 --> 00:42:39,059
around for the next fifteen minutes or so
1156
00:42:39,059 --> 00:42:41,059
while we have a fun topic that doctor
1157
00:42:41,059 --> 00:42:43,780
Gigi have and I have enjoyed researching. And
1158
00:42:43,780 --> 00:42:47,059
you will be invited to, stay and chime
1159
00:42:47,059 --> 00:42:48,599
in on your own thoughts about
1160
00:42:49,014 --> 00:42:50,155
today's food,
1161
00:42:50,534 --> 00:42:53,275
f o o d. Haven't missed many meals.
1162
00:42:53,494 --> 00:42:55,514
Let's talk about what we eat
1163
00:42:55,815 --> 00:42:59,034
collectively, uniquely, nationally, internationally, regionally.
1164
00:42:59,815 --> 00:43:02,454
Doctor, you are European, born and raised in
1165
00:43:02,454 --> 00:43:05,090
German, right across the border from the French
1166
00:43:05,630 --> 00:43:06,130
German,
1167
00:43:06,510 --> 00:43:08,930
line? Yeah. I researched some European,
1168
00:43:09,950 --> 00:43:12,670
dishes that were known. Okay. So first one
1169
00:43:12,670 --> 00:43:15,070
that I found was coq au vin. But
1170
00:43:15,070 --> 00:43:17,710
that's French. That's French. That was the French
1171
00:43:17,710 --> 00:43:19,809
pronunciation too. I speak French, man. I'm shocked.
1172
00:43:21,734 --> 00:43:22,474
Means rooster
1173
00:43:22,775 --> 00:43:24,635
on wine. Has And it was
1174
00:43:25,014 --> 00:43:27,655
what it is actually so chicken, but really
1175
00:43:27,655 --> 00:43:30,775
it was a rooster. Chicken slowly braised in
1176
00:43:30,775 --> 00:43:32,074
red wine like burgundy
1177
00:43:32,500 --> 00:43:34,840
with mushrooms, onions, and bacon.
1178
00:43:36,019 --> 00:43:36,840
And in France,
1179
00:43:37,219 --> 00:43:39,700
it's often eaten with a baguette, which we,
1180
00:43:39,700 --> 00:43:41,400
of course, call French bread
1181
00:43:41,940 --> 00:43:43,480
or with mashed potatoes.
1182
00:43:43,940 --> 00:43:45,400
Wow. Yummy. I mean, we
1183
00:43:45,824 --> 00:43:48,545
we eat similar stuff, but it really originates
1184
00:43:48,545 --> 00:43:50,545
there. How about Italy? What is there? What's
1185
00:43:50,545 --> 00:43:52,484
known there? In Italy Pizza?
1186
00:43:53,105 --> 00:43:56,144
Yeah. Pizza. So I've been to Italy and
1187
00:43:56,144 --> 00:43:58,224
a few at least, you know, forty years
1188
00:43:58,224 --> 00:44:00,420
ago or whenever. So I was all excited
1189
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:02,739
about their food. But what we
1190
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:03,860
eat
1191
00:44:04,559 --> 00:44:05,059
as
1192
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:07,280
Italian food is not what they eat. They
1193
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:09,280
eat it to fill you up. So for
1194
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:10,260
example, lasagna
1195
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:13,824
is mostly noodle dough with something in there
1196
00:44:13,824 --> 00:44:15,424
so you fill that. But I wanna talk
1197
00:44:15,424 --> 00:44:17,045
about spaghetti carbonara,
1198
00:44:17,984 --> 00:44:20,704
which is pasta with eggs, cured pork, and
1199
00:44:20,704 --> 00:44:21,204
cheese,
1200
00:44:21,824 --> 00:44:25,105
and actually, it's without cream. We totally love
1201
00:44:25,105 --> 00:44:29,000
the creamy sauce. And originally, it doesn't contain
1202
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:30,920
any cream. Now that I may Can I
1203
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:32,760
ask you a question? Yeah. Where you were
1204
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:34,760
talking about in Germany, was that right across
1205
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:36,680
from Alsace Lorraine? Yes. Because that's where my
1206
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:40,140
great grandfather Yeah. Right there. Exactly. Okay. Strasbourg
1207
00:44:40,199 --> 00:44:42,835
Strasbourg is right 15 kilometers. Hingleton.
1208
00:44:43,775 --> 00:44:46,494
Hingleton? Hinglington. Hinglington. Hinglington. Hinglington. Hinglington. That's the
1209
00:44:46,494 --> 00:44:48,494
village. That's near the castle that we we
1210
00:44:48,494 --> 00:44:50,994
passed going up to the Was it? Yeah.
1211
00:44:51,614 --> 00:44:52,494
Right. Okay.
1212
00:44:52,815 --> 00:44:54,655
Oops. Okay. Phone shut off there. I don't
1213
00:44:54,655 --> 00:44:56,500
have my facts and figures. Okay. I get
1214
00:44:56,500 --> 00:44:58,300
to talk about Mhmm. My travels have been
1215
00:44:58,420 --> 00:45:00,760
Yeah. Through, the South of us,
1216
00:45:01,619 --> 00:45:02,920
in Mexico and
1217
00:45:03,220 --> 00:45:06,519
Middle America, Central America and South America. But
1218
00:45:06,739 --> 00:45:08,920
in Mexico, they have the chapulines.
1219
00:45:09,614 --> 00:45:12,735
Mhmm. Which are grasshoppers. They toast them. They
1220
00:45:12,735 --> 00:45:14,974
toast them or fry them. Actually, they're really
1221
00:45:14,974 --> 00:45:17,695
good. They're like a snack. You could eat
1222
00:45:17,695 --> 00:45:19,155
them in your hand. They
1223
00:45:19,534 --> 00:45:21,454
oh, they're so they they season them as
1224
00:45:21,454 --> 00:45:23,295
they bake them or roast them in a
1225
00:45:23,295 --> 00:45:25,170
hot pan And they season them and they
1226
00:45:25,170 --> 00:45:27,409
come out crispy. They're phenomenal. They really are
1227
00:45:27,409 --> 00:45:29,109
good. They put them in tacos
1228
00:45:29,650 --> 00:45:30,150
and
1229
00:45:30,530 --> 00:45:31,829
other things, especially
1230
00:45:33,170 --> 00:45:34,309
in the land,
1231
00:45:35,170 --> 00:45:36,389
the region Ozaca.
1232
00:45:37,554 --> 00:45:39,574
So there we go. And then, eskamoles,
1233
00:45:40,594 --> 00:45:41,974
those are the ant larvae
1234
00:45:42,594 --> 00:45:45,235
that come out of the agave root. Yeah.
1235
00:45:45,235 --> 00:45:47,175
Alright. So they are eskamoles
1236
00:45:47,474 --> 00:45:50,295
are they're some kind called Mexican caviar.
1237
00:45:50,670 --> 00:45:52,349
But now they're a little bit weird because
1238
00:45:52,349 --> 00:45:54,210
they're a little creamy and nutty
1239
00:45:54,989 --> 00:45:57,630
buttery flavor, but they kinda pop when you
1240
00:45:57,630 --> 00:45:59,309
eat them. Have you had them? I've had
1241
00:45:59,309 --> 00:46:01,309
them. Yeah. I've had them anywhere. They're all
1242
00:46:01,389 --> 00:46:03,230
Some grasshoppers are great because you can have
1243
00:46:03,230 --> 00:46:03,889
the seasoning,
1244
00:46:04,429 --> 00:46:07,224
barbecue or or turkey. Calories, I'm guessing. Yeah.
1245
00:46:08,005 --> 00:46:09,684
Okay. Go into the how about Germany? What
1246
00:46:09,684 --> 00:46:11,945
is Germany at? Germany, what,
1247
00:46:12,565 --> 00:46:13,704
you know, the
1248
00:46:14,325 --> 00:46:15,684
the Internet thinks is,
1249
00:46:16,244 --> 00:46:18,105
worth mentioning is called which
1250
00:46:19,710 --> 00:46:22,289
translated means onion roast roast,
1251
00:46:22,909 --> 00:46:24,909
which is Onion roast roast? I mean, on
1252
00:46:24,989 --> 00:46:27,949
yeah. Onion roast. It's beef roast topped with
1253
00:46:27,949 --> 00:46:29,730
rich gravy and caramelized
1254
00:46:30,109 --> 00:46:30,609
onions.
1255
00:46:31,389 --> 00:46:33,469
I might add that this would be eaten
1256
00:46:33,469 --> 00:46:37,155
with yummy sweet tangy red cabbage, yum yum,
1257
00:46:37,155 --> 00:46:38,775
and boiled baby potatoes.
1258
00:46:39,075 --> 00:46:40,835
So they only tell us about the meat,
1259
00:46:40,835 --> 00:46:42,195
but, you know, you have to have the
1260
00:46:42,195 --> 00:46:46,295
whole Well meal. Hey. And, okay. And Margarine.
1261
00:46:46,434 --> 00:46:47,095
In Spain
1262
00:46:48,030 --> 00:46:50,050
in Spain, we know paella
1263
00:46:50,590 --> 00:46:53,329
Yeah. Which is saffron rice cooked with seafood,
1264
00:46:53,550 --> 00:46:55,969
chicken, and or rabbit plus vegetables,
1265
00:46:56,750 --> 00:46:58,190
which is cooked, and that's why I chose
1266
00:46:58,190 --> 00:47:00,190
it, which is cooked as a one dish
1267
00:47:00,190 --> 00:47:01,905
food in a white shallow
1268
00:47:02,285 --> 00:47:03,905
pan, which is also called paella.
1269
00:47:04,285 --> 00:47:05,885
Hey, John. Would you like to have some
1270
00:47:05,885 --> 00:47:06,385
jumiles?
1271
00:47:07,244 --> 00:47:07,744
Jumiles
1272
00:47:08,125 --> 00:47:09,184
are strong tasting,
1273
00:47:09,485 --> 00:47:12,204
aromatic insects eaten with lime and salt, and
1274
00:47:12,204 --> 00:47:14,980
they're put into salsa. Yeah. So it's just
1275
00:47:14,980 --> 00:47:15,420
a
1276
00:47:15,860 --> 00:47:18,980
Why? Why would I do that? Why would
1277
00:47:18,980 --> 00:47:21,860
anybody do that? What do you eat? Food.
1278

There you go. Yeah. I find Probably one
1283
00:47:28,974 --> 00:47:30,255
of the best meals I ever had was
1284
00:47:30,255 --> 00:47:32,015
in Nova Scotia. I I went out to
1285
00:47:32,015 --> 00:47:33,614
a restaurant and they had lobster. They put
1286
00:47:33,614 --> 00:47:35,295
a bib around you and you give you
1287
00:47:35,295 --> 00:47:36,894

Well, I give it a try.
1293
00:47:46,210 --> 00:47:47,910
Yeah. It was good. Give me a hammer.
1294
00:47:48,210 --> 00:47:49,670
Yeah. Nice. If I had a hammer.
1295
00:47:50,130 --> 00:47:52,449
If I had a hammer, I had hammer
1296
00:47:52,449 --> 00:47:55,954

1298
00:47:58,815 --> 00:47:59,954

It's breaded, fried veal, or pork
1302
00:48:07,135 --> 00:48:09,855
cutlet served with lemon pieces to be squeezed
1303
00:48:09,855 --> 00:48:12,160
over the schnitzel and potato balls. You know,
1304
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:14,480
Gigi and I are mostly vegan with heavy
1305
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:14,980
vegetables.
1306
00:48:15,519 --> 00:48:17,679
I beg because of that, I've lost a
1307
00:48:17,679 --> 00:48:19,360
tremendous amount of weight. Yeah. And of course,
1308
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:21,119
I stopped drinking beer. So when you come
1309
00:48:21,119 --> 00:48:23,119
down to our house, John, we're gonna I'll
1310
00:48:23,119 --> 00:48:24,820
drink water. You guys drink beer.
1311
00:48:25,364 --> 00:48:26,324
I'll give you a ride home. You know
1312
00:48:26,324 --> 00:48:28,405
what? Well, I'm not gonna say no. Oh,
1313
00:48:28,405 --> 00:48:28,905
okay.
1314
00:48:30,324 --> 00:48:32,184
Alright. How about coconut grubs?
1315
00:48:32,724 --> 00:48:34,565
These are wonderful. They're big time in the
1316
00:48:34,565 --> 00:48:37,045
Central America. You already had that? Yeah. No.
1317
00:48:37,045 --> 00:48:39,045
Coconut I never had coconut grubs. They were
1318
00:48:39,045 --> 00:48:40,085
kinda gross. I didn't,
1319
00:48:40,510 --> 00:48:42,030
they're the ones that come out of the
1320
00:48:42,030 --> 00:48:44,769
palm, the coconut tree and they're kind of
1321
00:48:45,070 --> 00:48:46,750
they they pour in there. They're kind of
1322
00:48:46,750 --> 00:48:47,250
gross.
1323
00:48:48,910 --> 00:48:50,530
But they marinate them in citrus
1324
00:48:50,989 --> 00:48:52,910
lime to kind of cook it like a
1325
00:48:52,910 --> 00:48:53,410
ceviche.
1326
00:48:54,644 --> 00:48:56,565
If you go down to South America, now
1327
00:48:56,565 --> 00:48:58,405
this has been one of the gourmet meals
1328
00:48:58,405 --> 00:49:00,164
that I've had Mhmm. Multiple times and that
1329
00:49:00,164 --> 00:49:02,885
was in Bolivia where my brother currently lives.
1330
00:49:02,885 --> 00:49:03,844
Pedro. In the highland,
1331
00:49:04,405 --> 00:49:07,204
city of La Paz, the highest now the
1332
00:49:07,204 --> 00:49:08,804
highest city in the world actually with an
1333
00:49:08,804 --> 00:49:10,750
airport up there is Cay,
1334
00:49:11,050 --> 00:49:13,690
which is, sounds like guy but Cay, C
1335
00:49:13,690 --> 00:49:15,069
U I, that's guinea pig.
1336
00:49:15,369 --> 00:49:17,929
And it is served in Bolivia, Peru, or
1337
00:49:17,929 --> 00:49:20,730
Ecuador, and it's a whole roasted or fried.
1338
00:49:20,730 --> 00:49:22,809
They they they take all the fur off
1339
00:49:22,809 --> 00:49:24,670
it. It's just a That's nice.
1340
00:49:25,934 --> 00:49:27,775
Wait a minute. The good thing is this
1341
00:49:27,775 --> 00:49:29,934
is even different. They often serve it with
1342
00:49:29,934 --> 00:49:31,934
the head and teeth still visible. They have
1343
00:49:31,934 --> 00:49:33,775
sharp teeth. They have sharp teeth. They roast
1344
00:49:33,775 --> 00:49:36,255
it. It comes it's considered a a traditional
1345
00:49:36,255 --> 00:49:37,934
highland meat, but that's what made me a
1346
00:49:37,934 --> 00:49:39,155
vegetarian treat.
1347
00:49:39,535 --> 00:49:41,075
It tastes like chicken.
1348
00:49:41,530 --> 00:49:43,950
It's this show has taken a dive, man.
1349
00:49:45,690 --> 00:49:48,010
Okay. I go to Ireland then. Oh, go
1350
00:49:48,010 --> 00:49:50,890
ahead. So Yeah. Ireland has a breakfast roll
1351
00:49:50,890 --> 00:49:53,230
which is a crusty, I mean deep fried,
1352
00:49:53,450 --> 00:49:56,534
roll stuffed with eggs, sausage, bacon, and other
1353
00:49:56,534 --> 00:49:57,514
fry up items.
1354
00:49:58,135 --> 00:50:00,375
And isn't that something? Because this might be
1355
00:50:00,375 --> 00:50:01,914
the meal most
1356
00:50:02,214 --> 00:50:03,514
emulated by the American
1357
00:50:03,815 --> 00:50:06,934
diet. Right? The breakfast drinks? Right. Right. Bacon.
1358
00:50:06,934 --> 00:50:08,775
Yeah. It's all meat based with some people.
1359
00:50:08,775 --> 00:50:10,795
I know all our vegan listeners and vegetarians
1360
00:50:10,855 --> 00:50:12,295
are good. And it's really from Ireland. Who
1361
00:50:12,295 --> 00:50:15,070
would have thought? Right. How about Caldo de
1362
00:50:15,070 --> 00:50:15,570
Cardan?
1363
00:50:16,349 --> 00:50:19,150
Caldo de Cardan is served in Bolivia and
1364
00:50:19,150 --> 00:50:20,750
I have tried it. It's quite good and
1365
00:50:20,750 --> 00:50:22,610
it is bull penis soup.
1366
00:50:23,230 --> 00:50:25,710
Right. Yeah. It says it's made with the
1367
00:50:25,710 --> 00:50:27,409
bull penis and the testicles.
1368
00:50:28,684 --> 00:50:29,585
And it is,
1369
00:50:30,605 --> 00:50:32,945
believed locally to boost strength and vitality.
1370
00:50:33,565 --> 00:50:36,125
Michael Gorse has tried it too. I mean,
1371
00:50:36,125 --> 00:50:37,905
we got a bunch of people. The
1372
00:50:38,284 --> 00:50:40,445
Caldo de Garda. You gotta try that one
1373
00:50:40,445 --> 00:50:41,105
day, John.
1374
00:50:41,789 --> 00:50:43,489
Okay. Moving on to Sweden.
1375
00:50:44,590 --> 00:50:47,390
Sweden has something Michael Gorse is laughing. We
1376
00:50:47,390 --> 00:50:49,090
can hear it. So that's pretty cool.
1377
00:50:50,989 --> 00:50:53,090
Sweden makes something called katbola.
1378
00:50:53,710 --> 00:50:56,824
Katbola. Katbola. But we call it Swedish meatballs.
1379
00:50:57,364 --> 00:51:00,324
They're small pan fried meatballs served with gravy
1380
00:51:00,324 --> 00:51:01,864
potatoes in lingonberry
1381
00:51:02,244 --> 00:51:04,724
sauce. And so they really actually Swedish meatballs
1382
00:51:04,724 --> 00:51:05,704
come from Sweden.
1383
00:51:06,085 --> 00:51:08,184
Wow. Cool. Well, there's hormigas
1384
00:51:08,565 --> 00:51:09,065
hormigas.
1385
00:51:11,045 --> 00:51:13,579
I'm not proficient in speaking that. It sounds
1386
00:51:13,579 --> 00:51:16,699
real. Translates from Colombia. It's from Colombia. That
1387
00:51:16,699 --> 00:51:17,680
literally translate
1388
00:51:18,300 --> 00:51:19,519
to big butt
1389
00:51:20,059 --> 00:51:22,460
ants. And they eat these they're leafcutters. The
1390
00:51:22,460 --> 00:51:23,840
leafcutter ants are big.
1391
00:51:24,425 --> 00:51:25,224
Yeah. Yeah. And they take them they take
1392
00:51:25,224 --> 00:51:26,905
the queens. They get the queens are in
1393
00:51:26,905 --> 00:51:28,425
a special they take the queens and they
1394
00:51:28,425 --> 00:51:28,925
toast
1395
00:51:29,224 --> 00:51:30,905
toast it and they eat them like peanuts,
1396
00:51:30,905 --> 00:51:33,565
which has a slightly smoky kinda,
1397
00:51:34,425 --> 00:51:35,969
nutty taste. They kinda crunch.
1398
00:51:36,929 --> 00:51:38,210
Do you have them? Have you had I
1399
00:51:38,210 --> 00:51:39,730
have not tried them. By chance? No. My
1400
00:51:39,730 --> 00:51:41,489
brother John has said they're quite good, I
1401
00:51:41,489 --> 00:51:43,909
believe. Yeah. I thought you were so normal.
1402
00:51:45,650 --> 00:51:47,670
What else do we have? Alright. From England,
1403
00:51:48,369 --> 00:51:50,550
they they eat a lot of meat pies.
1404
00:51:51,074 --> 00:51:52,914
And actually, I lived in England, and so
1405
00:51:52,914 --> 00:51:55,954
they talk about this minced meat pies. And
1406
00:51:55,954 --> 00:51:57,175
I always thought
1407
00:51:57,954 --> 00:51:59,574
it was, like, with mint,
1408
00:52:00,114 --> 00:52:02,275
like, the mint flavor. And I always thought
1409
00:52:02,275 --> 00:52:04,195
this is really weird till I had one.
1410
00:52:04,195 --> 00:52:06,960
Minced meat really means just small cut like
1411
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:10,480
burger. It's little cut with gravy and and,
1412
00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:14,159
vegetables. So it's They use venison too. They
1413
00:52:14,159 --> 00:52:16,500
do. Yeah. Whatever. Yeah. Have you eaten venison?
1414
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:18,559
Yes. I have. Do you like it? Yes.
1415
00:52:18,559 --> 00:52:21,300
They're pretty good. Mhmm. Not bambi killer.
1416
00:52:21,714 --> 00:52:23,155
I don't kill them. I just eat them.
1417
00:52:23,155 --> 00:52:24,135
Bambi killer.
1418
00:52:24,594 --> 00:52:27,014
Alright. If go ahead, doc. No.
1419
00:52:27,474 --> 00:52:30,034
Baby killer? Well, he eats venison. He eats
1420
00:52:30,034 --> 00:52:32,835
Bambi killer. Venison is just Bambi. I don't
1421
00:52:32,835 --> 00:52:35,719
kill Bambi. I eat Bambi. Yeah. Alright.
1422
00:52:36,019 --> 00:52:38,659
Dear. Okay. Make us laugh again. Okay. On
1423
00:52:38,659 --> 00:52:41,460
on a stranded stranded desert island, let's say,
1424
00:52:41,460 --> 00:52:43,940
like, well, not deserted island. I'll put it
1425
00:52:43,940 --> 00:52:45,859
like the Saint George Reef House, and they're

00:52:47,940 --> 00:52:50,019
the entire world. What are you gonna order,
1428
00:52:50,019 --> 00:52:50,760
John Zimmerman?
1429
00:52:51,405 --> 00:52:52,545
Corn on the cob.
1430
00:52:52,925 --> 00:52:54,204
Order on the cob. It has to have
1431
00:52:54,204 --> 00:52:56,605
butter and salt. Right? Lots of butter. Yes.
1432
00:52:56,605 --> 00:52:58,844
Absolutely. I'd like to put two. K. Corn
1433
00:52:58,844 --> 00:53:00,065
on the cob. Yeah.
1434
00:53:01,244 --> 00:53:01,744
Fillet
1435
00:53:02,445 --> 00:53:03,505
mignon. Yeah.
1436
00:53:04,605 --> 00:53:05,344
With butter.
1437
00:53:05,724 --> 00:53:07,969
Oh, yes. And then a nice
1438
00:53:08,510 --> 00:53:11,010
Yukon potato with sour cream.
1439
00:53:11,710 --> 00:53:14,510
Oh, and German marlin onion and So that's
1440
00:53:14,510 --> 00:53:16,269
what you would eat every day, or is
1441
00:53:16,269 --> 00:53:16,849
it just
1442
00:53:17,309 --> 00:53:19,070
that's what you would take? Oh, you should
1443
00:53:19,070 --> 00:53:20,485
just go a week. Okay.
1444
00:53:21,344 --> 00:53:23,105
How about you, doc? I think I would
1445
00:53:23,105 --> 00:53:23,605
take
1446
00:53:24,864 --> 00:53:25,364
bread.
1447
00:53:25,744 --> 00:53:28,405
Oh, yeah. Another German salad. Bread with cheese.
1448
00:53:29,265 --> 00:53:31,505
Sorry. We would we'd have breakfast in Germany
1449
00:53:31,505 --> 00:53:33,664
with her mother's sweet 86 year old mom.
1450
00:53:33,664 --> 00:53:35,250
She's 88. Reach 88.
1451
00:53:35,570 --> 00:53:37,909
Yeah. That's good too. We would have
1452
00:53:38,289 --> 00:53:40,769
not one, two, about three different varieties of
1453
00:53:40,769 --> 00:53:43,010
bread. Oh, I loved it. Well, that's why
1454
00:53:43,010 --> 00:53:44,769
I gained 20 pounds in drinking beer in
1455
00:53:44,769 --> 00:53:46,469
Germany. That was not a good thing.
1456
00:53:46,769 --> 00:53:48,630
I mean, how about sea urgent urgent,
1457
00:53:49,170 --> 00:53:50,630
urchins from Chile,
1458
00:53:50,929 --> 00:53:52,985
but it's just a certain part of that
1459
00:53:52,985 --> 00:53:54,905
sea urchins. How about the gonads? That's what
1460
00:53:54,905 --> 00:53:56,985
they eat. You have very gonads for them.
1461
00:53:56,985 --> 00:53:57,885
They eat them raw.
1462
00:53:58,505 --> 00:54:00,425
They sell them as a street snack and
1463
00:54:00,425 --> 00:54:01,085
in restaurants.
1464
00:54:01,465 --> 00:54:03,385
So I think I'm done with I mean,
1465
00:54:03,385 --> 00:54:05,650
they we could we could talk about the
1466
00:54:05,650 --> 00:54:06,150
marapano,
1467
00:54:06,530 --> 00:54:08,369
which is an Argentina, which is a hot
1468
00:54:08,369 --> 00:54:10,050
dog where the sausage is like it's a
1469
00:54:10,050 --> 00:54:12,369
blood sausage wrapped in cow intestines and then
1470
00:54:12,369 --> 00:54:14,390
served in a hollow of bread.
1471
00:54:14,929 --> 00:54:16,690
And it crunches a little bit when you
1472
00:54:16,690 --> 00:54:20,344
eat. But you I like my Okay. European
1473
00:54:20,485 --> 00:54:22,644
things a little better. Me too. What other
1474
00:54:22,644 --> 00:54:24,164
what other foods? You get two. You get
1475
00:54:24,244 --> 00:54:24,744
Greece.
1476
00:54:25,125 --> 00:54:26,264
Greece has moussaka.
1477
00:54:26,965 --> 00:54:30,005
Wow. Moussaka is baked layers of eggplant, ground
1478
00:54:30,005 --> 00:54:33,119
meat, and a bechamel sauce. Wow. Baccamel. Very
1479
00:54:33,119 --> 00:54:34,099
average. Baccamel.
1480
00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:36,319
Bechamel. Do you know why the Greeks hate
1481
00:54:36,559 --> 00:54:38,880
And it's like it's like what we think
1482
00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:39,679
of of,
1483
00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:42,420
a noodle less lasagna.
1484
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:44,974
Wow. Cool. Do you know why the Greeks,
1485
00:54:45,215 --> 00:54:48,755
hate the the dawn every morning? Why? Why?
1486
00:54:48,974 --> 00:54:51,155
Because dawn is tough on Greece.
1487
00:54:52,494 --> 00:54:54,434
You know when an Irishman goes on vacation?
1488
00:54:54,735 --> 00:54:56,355
Where? A different bar.
1489
00:54:59,190 --> 00:55:01,130
Don't get me going on the bar jokes.
1490
00:55:01,590 --> 00:55:03,130
Hey. We can start our
1491
00:55:03,670 --> 00:55:06,150
fun Time corner. Okay. Well, I think the
1492
00:55:06,309 --> 00:55:08,489
I think we we kinda made him sick.
1493
00:55:08,550 --> 00:55:11,349
Yeah. We can move on. He's a stomach
1494
00:55:11,349 --> 00:55:13,255
in our conversation. But thank you for that,
1495
00:55:13,574 --> 00:55:16,534
dissertation on international food. No. Please thank you
1496
00:55:16,534 --> 00:55:17,175
for your weird,
1497
00:55:17,974 --> 00:55:19,974
quote on the other hand. Oh my goodness.
1498
00:55:19,974 --> 00:55:21,414
Let me look at my jokes here. I
1499
00:55:21,414 --> 00:55:24,235
got On unknown foods. Okay. Lobster.
1500
00:55:26,369 --> 00:55:28,210
Corn on the cob. I you all okay.
1501
00:55:28,210 --> 00:55:30,050
And a potato. That was your three. I
1502
00:55:30,050 --> 00:55:31,889
I I got away without saying, but I'm
1503
00:55:31,889 --> 00:55:33,670
not gonna say. Bull penis?
1504
00:55:35,409 --> 00:55:37,809
It doesn't. Did I just hear did you
1505
00:55:37,809 --> 00:55:39,349
hear that? Did you hear Michael
1506
00:55:39,965 --> 00:55:41,724
Corsa say bullpeter? I hope they didn't hear
1507
00:55:41,724 --> 00:55:43,505
it. I think they didn't hear it. Okay.
1508
00:55:43,644 --> 00:55:45,485
Alright. I'm gonna give a quote. Okay. I
1509
00:55:45,485 --> 00:55:47,085
have to divert this a little bit. That
1510
00:55:47,085 --> 00:55:49,164
was great. You got it. Poetry is a
1511
00:55:49,164 --> 00:55:51,885
way of taking life by the throat. I
1512
00:55:51,885 --> 00:55:53,219
have throat quotes.
1513
00:55:53,780 --> 00:55:55,780
Okay. Poetry is the way of taking life
1514
00:55:55,780 --> 00:55:58,440
by the throat. That's pretty good. Right?
1515
00:55:58,900 --> 00:56:01,320
Doctor Gigi says that I have a scary
1516
00:56:01,619 --> 00:56:02,119
preoccupation
1517
00:56:02,500 --> 00:56:03,239
with vengeance.
1518
00:56:04,179 --> 00:56:05,800
We'll just have to see about that.
1519
00:56:10,625 --> 00:56:12,405
Keep going. Oh, yes.
1520
00:56:12,864 --> 00:56:15,744
Scientists have recently discovered that protons actually have
1521
00:56:15,744 --> 00:56:16,244
mass.
1522
00:56:16,625 --> 00:56:18,164
Yep. I didn't know they were Catholic.
1523
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:23,920
Scientists say the universe is made up of
1524
00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:25,780
protons, neutrons, and electrons.
1525
00:56:26,159 --> 00:56:28,500
I think they forgot to mention morons.
1526
00:56:31,519 --> 00:56:34,159
Hey, I'm currently boycotting any company that sells
1527
00:56:34,159 --> 00:56:35,795
items that I can't afford.
1528
00:56:38,014 --> 00:56:39,695
Sean is just sitting there looking at me
1529
00:56:39,695 --> 00:56:40,514
going, okay.
1530
00:56:40,815 --> 00:56:42,734
Okay. What else? Come on. The throat is
1531
00:56:42,734 --> 00:56:44,114
the road. Speech
1532
00:56:44,574 --> 00:56:45,554
is its pilgrim.
1533
00:56:45,934 --> 00:56:47,635
That's very Wait. Say it again,
1534
00:56:47,934 --> 00:56:50,289
hon? The throat is the road. Speech
1535
00:56:50,670 --> 00:56:53,949
is Pilgrim. It's pretty deep. Right? That is
1536
00:56:53,949 --> 00:56:56,190
too cool. Doctor Gigi told me that I
1537
00:56:56,190 --> 00:56:58,369
better start watching my drinking.
1538
00:56:59,150 --> 00:57:00,589
So now I drink in front of a
1539
00:57:00,589 --> 00:57:01,089
mirror.
1540
00:57:03,565 --> 00:57:05,724
I think it's funny. I've heard it 5,000
1541
00:57:05,724 --> 00:57:07,885
times, but it's still funny. Oh, same as,
1542
00:57:07,885 --> 00:57:09,905
hey. If you don't pay your exorcist, John,
1543
00:57:10,925 --> 00:57:12,144
do you get repossessed?
1544
00:57:14,525 --> 00:57:16,869
Are we about done? Okay. Food
1545
00:57:17,730 --> 00:57:18,910
I hope.
1546
00:57:19,289 --> 00:57:20,789
Is food is not rational.
1547
00:57:21,329 --> 00:57:22,390
Food is culture,
1548
00:57:22,849 --> 00:57:23,349
habit,
1549
00:57:23,650 --> 00:57:25,349
craving, and identity.
1550
00:57:25,890 --> 00:57:28,130
Nice. I like it. Hey, John. There's a
1551
00:57:28,130 --> 00:57:30,764
nudist camp going on in town next week.
1552
00:57:31,244 --> 00:57:33,085
You should go if you've got nothing going
1553
00:57:33,085 --> 00:57:33,585
on.
1554
00:57:36,125 --> 00:57:38,144
He usually laughs, but not today.
1555
00:57:38,764 --> 00:57:40,764
Alright, Don. Know. I was so shocked over
1556
00:57:40,764 --> 00:57:42,464
what you have tried to eat.
1557
00:57:43,565 --> 00:57:46,079
It's true. I did try. Okay. Each of
1558
00:57:46,079 --> 00:57:49,200
us, one quote, one joke. Soul soul food
1559
00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:52,320
is our personal passport to the past. It's
1560
00:57:52,320 --> 00:57:54,800
much more about heritage than it is about
1561
00:57:54,800 --> 00:57:56,880
harmony. Okay. We can just go with slide
1562
00:57:56,880 --> 00:57:59,680
59, four fifty nine. Okay. Quote, one more
1563
00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:01,635
joke. Oh, I don't have one. Okay. One.
1564
00:58:01,635 --> 00:58:02,934
Let's go. K. Alright.
1565
00:58:03,394 --> 00:58:04,914
Do you know what the what the leading
1566
00:58:04,914 --> 00:58:07,255
cause of dry skin is? What? Towels.
1567
00:58:08,914 --> 00:58:09,735
Hey, everybody.
1568
00:58:10,275 --> 00:58:12,675
Sorry about this fun show. We had fun.

the first time ever anybody's interrupted by Zane

00:58:47,309 --> 00:58:47,809
Wolfie.
1587
00:58:48,510 --> 00:58:49,010
Wow.
1588
00:58:49,390 --> 00:58:51,309
Okay, man. Let's, we don't need to talk.
1589
00:58:51,309 --> 00:58:52,050
Bye bye.
