Titanic

And yes, there is an affordability crisis, one created by Joe Biden's policies.

You don't turn the Titanic around overnight.

It takes time to fix what was broken.

I said earlier that...

Obviously, you don't turn the Titanic around overnight.

Also, you don't turn the Titanic around.

And I think he accidentally said something true.

You know, the kind of funny part is like using the analogy of the Titanic.

Now when was the last time that you stepped aboard a ferry or watched a giant container ship disappear over the horizon or perhaps even climbed aboard a cruise ship for a holiday? Well we rarely stop to think about it but every one of those voyages is shaped by the lessons learned from disasters at sea and Modern shipping is remarkably safe, not because the sea has become any less dangerous, but because generations of sailors, engineers, regulators and investigators have spent more than a century learning, often painfully, from things that have gone catastrophically wrong.

No ship has played a greater role in that story than the Titanic.

Today, more than 100 years after she struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic, Titanic remains the world's most famous shipwreck.

We remember the luxury, the orchestra, the iceberg and the extraordinary human stories.

But perhaps her greatest legacy came after she disappeared beneath the waves.

Why weren't there enough lifeboats? Why wasn't someone always listening on the radio? How could ships avoid ice in the future? And perhaps most importantly, how do you regulate an industry that is truly international? The answers transformed life at sea.

They led to the first international convention for the safety of life at sea, SOLAS, the creation of the International Ice Patrol, continuous radio watches, improved ship design and, ultimately, the international framework that still governs shipping today.

But the story doesn't end with Titanic.

No, it's a very small town.

But what made that case very interesting, because this, I think for like a lot of like historical kids, how did we get involved in history? It's like either Titanic because of the movie.

Or Anastasia, the Romanoff family because of like the animated Anastasia movie.

Like that's kind of our, that's how we get involved in history is like those two movies.

Okay.

So Titanic, I'm obsessed with when I was a child, still am obsessed with now, which we do plan to go and see the exhibit in Minneapolis.

Okay.

Which is still there until sometime in November.

Any sort of explanation there? No, what I said to the film company was, well, first of all, there isn't enough, even if this guy was on the level, there isn't enough information here to make a movie.

So I suggested that they could perhaps use it as a fictional way, if you like, of telling the Roswell story, pretty much like we have with the film Titanic.

You know, Rose and Jack didn't exist, you know, but it tells the Titanic story.

Yes.

Yes.

But there was a guy named Dawson on the Titanic and who was buried in Nova Scotia.

And a lot of the teenage girls migrated to his grave because they thought it was Jack from the movie.

I know.

All right, back to it now.

Remember Ocean Gate? Remember the Ocean Gate submarine? It's the one that imploded on its way to the Titanic.

Remember that? Apparently it was designed to do that, according to a new book, anyhow.

Yeah, the CEO, Stockton Rush, according to this new book, and you can take it for whatever it's worth, built the Ocean Gate submarine to implode so he could become part of Titanic mythology.

One of his longtime friends saying it was a mousetrap for billionaires.

How sick and twisted is that? Yeah.

A longtime friend of Rush, Carl Stanley, made the claim in author Matthew Gavin Frank's new book, Submersed Wonder, Obsession, and Murder in the World of Amateur Submarines.

Rush's ego was so big he was willing to die and kill to be the pivotal character of this story.

Hummer, how did this win affect the way that you view Texas now?

It was the difference between the Titanic running into an iceberg and the difference between the Titanic avoiding an iceberg.

That would have been that level of disaster for Texas to blow that lead.

Texas would have been the first team in 30 years as a ranked team to blow three straight double-digit leads in three straight weeks.

metaphor though, they avoid, oh, go ahead.

I was gonna say, so you're saying Arch Manning is Texas's Jack Dawson.

That was a Titanic reference, by the way.

I was planning on leaning in too.

I don't know what we call threading.

I tweeted on threads that it felt like them having that football game felt very reminiscent of the band playing on Titanic as the ship sinks.

Like, it was just like,

guys? Like, my friend was in Paris last year or last week.

Yeah.

What is that fucking, is it James Cameron who funds all those missions to the Titanic? He fucks so hard with the Titanic.

James

Cameron's special interest.

And she's very famous because Colleen was the first to ever utilize IgG genetic genealogy in a criminal case.

And she talked a lot about some of her cases and even about how she was able to identify the Titanic baby, you know, the unidentified baby that was on the Titanic ship.

So she was great.

I'm hoping you guys might go back and take a look at what she said about DNA in this case.
