It's totally crazy, which reminds me, the Sikorsky helicopter, people, anyone who's looked at military helicopters. I just met this guy, Igor Sikorsky Jr. He had read the Diesel book and he emailed me and he said, hey, I've got all these stories about my dad. He was a contemporary of Rudolf Diesel. And, you know, let's meet. So I went and went to the New England Air Museum.
And there's a whole Sikorsky wing there. We walked around and got this total, I mean, Igor Sikorsky Jr. walks in there and he's like a rock star. Everybody was running out to meet him. And how old is he? He's 95. And he looks at this photo and he shows me, it's of Tsar Nicholas II, a young Tsar, years before World War I even started. And Tsar Nicholas II is talking to some other man in the photo.
And my new friend, my new pal, Igor points at the man in the photo and goes, there's dad. And I'm like, oh my God, he has some personal connection to so much history going back. And he's like, you know, you really need my brother, Sergei. He's got, he's a treasure trove of information about aviation and the, you know, the interwar period and the pre-war period. I'm like, oh, that sounds great.
And he goes, he turns a hundred in a couple of weeks. He's flying in for the party. I'm like, oh my God, what are these Sikorskis eating?
Yeah.
He remembered everything. He was rattling off dates of the interwar period. You know, in 1938, this was happening. In 1928, the Bremen flew across and, you know, they met Babe Ruth at Yankee State. He just knew all this incredible information. It was at the at the ready.
It's still selling pretty well, and events keep popping up here and there that I'll go do. It's gotten a little bit more into the diesel community. I did a trucking uh, radio show the other day. It's been big with the Marine community and yeah. So it's, it's been really fun to see that story get out there.
By the way, these are the Al Smith dinner glasses. I don't know if you can tell all that frosting on the outside of the glass now, but.
I don't want to give her this.
Like,
You do all the holiday shopping. Kids aren't listening to this, I'm assuming. You do all the holiday shopping around here for us.
I did a little bit this year. I did some. I did a couple.
You're starting to get angry.
You've got your system. I'm happy to see your system soar.
Yeah. And they'll get used. There's such a volume with you that they like, you get lost in the amount of presents. They never get used. You see like three years later, there's a closet full of stuff we never opened.
That's right.
Right, like the Who's at a Whoville. There's got to be volume down there.
You and I, are you talking to me or Debbie?
Yeah. I mean, we have eggnog, kind of right up to it. And then, I don't know, it kind of depends what we're feeling. It doesn't have to be like a special thing. It could be a martini or Manhattan or whatever.
Are we doing the quiz right now? Let's do the quiz.
