Ed Vitagliano Huh?

Bert Harper Which question you want to answer?

Caroline I'm ready, but the question is the one about the Drake's Passage.

Christy: Where is the sea route called Drake's Passage

Ed Vitagliano All right, here's, Christy, here's the question. Where is the sea route called Drake's Passage?

Caroline It's from South America, go around Cape Horn, to Chile to, Oh, shoot, that area. And then it goes through.

Ed Vitagliano Yeah, you got it.

Ed Battagliano The two oceans again. Yeah.

Ed Vitagliano Now, Christy, did, you just like geography? Do you or do you have to look that up or what?

Caroline I'll be honest, I looked it up because I knew the question about Turkey because I see it on Gutfeld last night and I'm like, I better have a backup question.

Bert Harper Oh, well, there's another person that on.

Ed Battagliano Gut feel last night about the getting five.

Caroline They did.

Ed Battagliano Oh, that's funny.

Caroline Yeah, yeah. They said it was like $56 US dollars that they're getting fine if they stand up early, but. Yeah. Yeah.

Bert Harper Well, what's the difference in Drake Passage and the Straits of Magellan? Is it.

Ed Vitagliano Well, I think, I think the Straits of Magellan is just the actual straight.

Bert Harper Okay.

Ed Vitagliano Drake's Passage was, the way that he was able to get around.

Bert Harper Okay.

Ed Vitagliano I think, I think that's okay.

Bert Harper That was interesting.

Ed Vitagliano But that's because then, as Christy said, you have to, you know, go up, you know, past Chile and, there's a particular way, that you go.

Lima, Ohio is famous for two industries: beans and glass blowing

Bert Harper Hey, what's your question for us, Christy?

Caroline Okay. Lima, Ohio is, famous for two industries. One's from history and one's current. Can you name one of the two?

Ed Battagliano The current one is the beans. Everybody loves beans. And you don't have to be from the country to appreciate that or know it. you get a good plate or whatever. Fried green tomatoes, lima beans, some cornbread, you'll be good to go.

Caroline Actually, lima beans aren't made here, but.

Ed Battagliano Yeah, I'm just being facetious with a real country, accent.

Bert Harper Toledo is known for its glass blowing. You know, is it close? I'm going to take. Is it. I'm going to just guess at it being, I have no idea, stained glass or something like that.

Ed Battagliano Something glass related?

Bert Harper Yeah, I'm guessing. I have no idea.

Ed Vitagliano She gave us two, said there was two.

Ed Battagliano One for history.

Ed Vitagliano Current, m. Once historical.

Bert Harper That's, I don't know, producing war heroes. And a lot of them came from Ohio. I know that. Yeah.

Ed Battagliano All right, you tell us and we're going to know this. This. We really, we laugh a lot, but we really do learn a lot on this show. People are going to learn some interesting things about your great area.

Lima is known for the Lima locomotive plant and Abram tanks

All right, tell us what's.

Caroline Yeah. Okay, so Lima is known for the Lima locomotive plant and, they made steam engines. The fact is there's, stand up displays throughout our, Allen county, different parks have different. One of those dimensions, including our Allen County Museum. And then currently we're known for the Abram tanks. They make the Abram tanks here.

Ed Battagliano Wow. Wow, that's a lot of heavy.

Bert Harper That is steam and then, man.

Ed Battagliano Yeah, good.

Bert Harper I bet you have a lot of engineers live there have to be to have that, you know.

Caroline Oh, I'm pretty sure, too. But yeah, sometimes Google search Lima and see our parks, and you'll see these static displays of these different tanks. Seriously, we have at least four or five that are strategically around in different parks. And then, like I said, there's a big one and the Allen county, museum.

Ed Battagliano There you go. You. You Lionel train buffs. Anybody likes trains? You're looking for a road trip this summer?

Ed Vitagliano That's a good idea.

Ed Battagliano To Lima and check out all those locomotives, they have in the parks and things.

Ed Vitagliano Hey, now, Christy, are people allowed? I know there may be some, some government, army regulations and stuff, but are people allowed to tour the place where they make the Abrams tanks, or is that off limits?

Caroline I don't believe they do tours unless you're a governor or like a senate or something. they do have, like, some miniature ones that they, like, take to parades and what have you.

Ed Battagliano M. Yeah.

Caroline In fact, there is a tank. One of the tanks, I believe, is at the Harrod park as well. The, that one, the park in here has like, tanks and, helicopter. I forget what all about there, but they also have one of the Lima locomotives, and actually that one you can get on.

Ed Vitagliano Okay.

Caroline but as far as the, actual Abrams plant, I'm not aware of a tour that you can do as just a general person. I think you have to be somebody official, like a president or a governor or, husband, representative, somebody like that.

Ed Vitagliano Okay.

Ed Battagliano Hey, Christy, let me tell you the difference between a boy born in Boston and a boy born in Kentucky, raised in Mississippi. when Ed said, hey, let me ask you a question. Can people. I thought he was going to say, can they test drive one of those tanks? I was like, yes, that's just what I was thinking. They don't. You drive that thing around the block. And then he said, just walk through the plant. And I thought, give me a helmet. I'm going to strap that thing in and see if they'll let us take it out on the back 40 and just shoot a couple rounds. And I thought, oh, that's right. This is. I'm, born, you know, raised in Kentucky, live in Mississippi. And he asked the normal Question.

Bert Harper If you can't shoot it, you don't. You're not interested.

Ed Vitagliano Why drive?

Bert Harper Yeah.

Ed Battagliano Hey, last time I was in Kansas, I went to a thing called Man Day, and they had hatchet throwing. They had all these things that you could shoot. And then you went over, they had a dirt track and you could buy a car, and they auctioned off all these cars that were all busted and beat up. You could buy it for 100, 200, and then get out there on track and drive these cars. And it was like, like crash. Yeah, it was racing. Slash demolition derby and vans and hoopties and everything. It was just so much fun to be there.

Ed Vitagliano So, Man Day, that, that, that makes a lot of sense.

Ed Battagliano See, if you'd been out there with an Abraham, I believe you would have won. But I got that checkered flag and said, boys, I've won this sucker.

Ed Vitagliano Sure. so, obviously these are vehicles that, that, I mean, that they make sure are running or they can run.

Ed Battagliano That's all. Yeah, they were just running. And no other promises.

Ed Vitagliano I mean, no air conditioning, seat belt.

Ed Battagliano Yeah, they'd have to stop just every so often and grab the bumpers and pull them off the track. Yeah, just everything. So much fun.

All right, so, folks, uh, that is, we're gonna have to give the answers

Ed Vitagliano All right, so, folks, that is, we're gonna have to give the, the answers to whatever questions are remaining.

Bert Harper Brother Burt, I just had one. What is the Day After Tomorrow called?

Ed Vitagliano I cannot. We had this, and I. I was surprised that there was a name for it. I can't remember.

Bert Harper And it's not Sunday.
