Let's get into that.
Yo, man, hey, we're calling out here really close to Covington.
Hello, man.
In Covington, that's my hometown.
Did you know I was from somewhere, Raleigh?
I did not know exactly where.
Well, I am from Covington, Louisiana.
Do you know what it's famous for?
Cheese?
No, wait, that's Wisconsin.
Yep, nope.
It is famous for tallest statue of Ronald Reagan in America.
Tallest full copper statue of Ronald Reagan.
You have a favorite statue?
Can't say I do.
You got to have one, man.
You should get one.
I like, I'll tell you a couple of mine.
You're welcome to borrow it if you need one.
There's one in, there was the tallest Bob Hope statue.
And that was in Duran, I believe it was Duran, Illinois.
Can you look that up, actually?
Do you mind, Raleigh, Mal?
Yeah.
Hate to put you to work there, but you got to do something, you know.
Tallest Bob Hope statue.
Peoria, Illinois has a Richard Pryor statue that I believe is full pewter, or
maybe 70% pewter or something.
And they quit putting copper in a lot of statues because a lot of homeless and
drug addicts or DAs will chip it out and sell it and smoke it.
Smoke, uh, drugs with the money.
So you'll, you know, you do a copper statue, and then next thing you know it
only has one arm, and they got, you know, 11 more, you know, 11 more people
smoking crack near you.
And you're just wondering how it all financially made sense.
What do you have, a tallest Bob Hope statue?
Any information?
Oh, you wanted Bob Hope.
I looked up the Statue of Hope in, uh, Friendship, Indiana.
Oh, okay.
What is that?
It is a private memorial or monument displayed in a graveyard or cemetery.
Hope is one of the seven virtues of the Christian religion.
So it's literally just about hope.
Oh, that's beautiful.
Not Bob Hope, but.
Okay.
Well, that's close enough, man.
If you get that Bob Hope intel, let us know.
So, yeah, but I appreciate it, fella.
And what I'm telling you is down a heat call from Covington, Louisiana, and
that's, have the world's stall, uh, stall a statue of Ronald Reagan.
And that's 10 feet tall, unprecedented Ronald.
Anyway, uh, thanks for that call, man.
Raleigh, Mel, you got any information on that, uh, Bob Hope statue?
I do.
So, it says that Bob Hope may be something of a forgotten figure, as a Los
Angeles Times writer said in a November 29th story.
About a new biography on the late comedian, Hope, entertainer of the century.
Okay, what about the statue, Bubba?
There is a nine-foot, five-inch tall fiberglass and cement, uh, statue that has
stood for 34 years in, uh, Rockford.
Rockford, Illinois?
Yes, sir.
Wow.
Yeah, man, that's beautiful.
Now, see, that's something you see different places.
Small towns like to do that and like to honor something.
Tallest statue, Bob Hope.
Did he ever go see it, does it say?
And there you go, ladies and gentlemen, that's Raleigh Mel right there.
Good evening, good afternoon, and other times.
Thanks for watching that video you just saw.
I mean, it was okay.
But, the next video you can watch could be way better.
What if you watch a video right now that changes your life?
Well, you could.
Watch this one.
Or, watch this one.
Watch this one.
Watch this one.
Watch this one.
Ah!
