Landon SeacrestPANELIST
I mean, that's pretty bad.
Drake ColleyHOST
The location as of this morning, um, the storm is in the northern part of the Gulf, roughly a hundred, 170 miles southwest [clears throat] of the mouth of the Mississippi River, and 245 miles southwest of Pensacola, Florida, moving at about 15 to 17 miles per hour is what it says.
Landon SeacrestPANELIST
That's exactly ...
Landon SeacrestPANELIST
I'm on the, um, National Hurricane Center and, uh-
speaker_3HOST
And it still stands here today.
speaker_3HOST
This is the oldest medical school building west of the Mississippi River.
speaker_3HOST
According to the mainstream narrative.
speaker_3HOST
Where we have photos before 1900.
MossHOST
As says, keep New Jersey out of this.
MossHOST
That's because everything east of the Mississippi had its borders created on foot.
MossHOST
And yep, sure, we're dividing assets fairly.
MossHOST
Yeah, or rivers.
Wilson Van HooserHOST
Really, really interesting book.
Wilson Van HooserHOST
He said, "It, it had hardly begun when just before midnight on August 17th, 1969, Hurricane Camille swept over the mouth of the Mississippi River." And he says so strong of a hurricane it was, it was forcing the river waters to flow backward as far north as New Orleans.
Wilson Van HooserHOST
So in my own words, "Barreling into Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, the Category 5 hurricane caused $1.42 billion in destruction, with the death toll rising to 311 people.
Wilson Van HooserHOST
Its winds were so powerful that many grew up, many who grew up on the coast, they remember flimsy pine needles piercing inches deep into the thick pine, uh, the pine tree bark.
Bill StephensHOST
Um, I, I, I think everyone would agree that that's easier to do with intermodal than it is with carload.
Bill StephensHOST
And then in the center of the country, there's been this watershed problem where if it's a short haul, you know, two hundred and fifty to five hundred miles on either side of the Mississippi for an eastern railroad or a western railroad, rails market share in those corridors for carload is below the national average because of that interchange friction and, and short hauls, and one railroad might not be interested.
Zak AndersenGUEST
Indeed.
Bill StephensHOST
That seems to be something that a merger could solve better than railroads working together.
Jon QuastGUEST
Buffalo, New York, was able to have more reliable energy than almost anywhere in the world at that time because of the power plant with Niagara Falls.
Jon QuastGUEST
And then there was also access to the Great Lakes, by extension the Mississippi, so you could go out west, and then you could also, through the Erie Canal, go to New York City and then the world.
Jon QuastGUEST
So if you were a business building in Buffalo, New York, in, around 1900, you had cost advantages, both on the energy side and then also on the distribution side.
Jon QuastGUEST
If you were a business trying to compete in Pittsburgh, you didn't have those advantages.
Andy KrugerHOST
I had one more semester of business school left, because I had switched around programs, and so I was, like, off by one.
Andy KrugerHOST
And Tulane, before you go into business school, like, the Friday before Monday classes start, they do a booze cruise up and down the Mississippi, and it's just for the two classes, right? The two business classes.
Andy KrugerHOST
So we were doing our booze cruise.
Andy KrugerHOST
Couldn't invite anybody else.
Pat CorkeryHOST
It's Old Man River, and it is sung by Kamal.
speaker_4SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
[singing] There's an old man called the Mississippi.
speaker_4SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
That's the old man that I likes to be.
speaker_4SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
What does he care if the world's got troubles? What does he care if the land ain't free? Old Man River, that Old Man River, he must know something.
Dylan StoneHOST

DanGUEST
We opened up, we actually got a gravity flow opportunity from high water.
DanGUEST
Mississippi was up, it backed creeks up, and so we had, uh, which is not very common for this time of year.
DanGUEST
So we took advantage of that opportunistic water to save a little money and, and get some, get some water in a scrub/shrub unit that, that we wanted to flood.
DanGUEST
So that's really a good idea.
