00:00Hey, what's good? It's Salisha B. and Clay from the all-new Morning Rollout on 105.1 The Bounce.

00:04It's our first stop on the 313 Tour, and what better spot than to come where everybody does their school field trips?

00:11Yeah, as we were driving up, very confused of what I'm getting myself into.

00:15Apparently, we're heading back in time.

00:17Yeah, it's like an old-timey village. It's got all kinds of historical stuff.

00:20You're going to travel with us, and we're going to tell you what we've learned today.

00:24All right, let's do it. Let's head inside.

00:30So, I mean, touring the 313 is educational, right?

00:36So, we're talking about what we learned at each of our spots.

00:39Here, the lesson is, look, your first try is never your best try.

00:43It takes a lot to get to where you're going, and that's what happened with the Model T.

00:47So many failed models before the Model T came out and just revolutionized the auto industry.

00:53Wait, this is the Flying Brothers?

00:54All right, something that I've learned is that the Flying Brothers, a.k.a. the Wright Brothers,

01:00apparently lived in this house while they were formulating the invention of the airplane,

01:04and that just makes me feel like being near it means that I'm going to invent something, too.

01:08What are we inventing?

01:09I don't know, but I want to leach off of whatever it is you invent.

01:12Can I do that?

01:12Okay.

01:13Sounds good.

01:13I'm down.

01:15So, I'm expecting to see jewelry?

01:17I mean, it was originally, yes, jewelry shop, but no, it's, it's, think Biddle, honey.

01:24Think old school candy.

01:26That's, let's go in.

01:28We'll explain.

01:29I'll check it out.

01:30Oh, let's push.

01:34I do like that it's candy that, like, would have happened then.

01:39This is not a jewelry store, but it is still pretty cool to get candy here.

01:43In the old school candy, that's the way it's at.

01:45I learned that I can eat four taffies and pull a filling out all on my own.

01:49No help from nobody.

01:50I'm telling you, it's a crazy sight to see.

01:55I wonder what he was thinking when he said, mm, light bulb.

01:58Smart thoughts.

01:59Smarter than ours.

02:00Imagine this in your home, and you have to do this every day.

02:04Cranking.

02:04Like, where would you put this in a house?

02:07Oh, of course, the guest room.

02:10This building, something's happening.

02:12I think my gears are turning.

02:13I think I have an idea.

02:14All right, hold on.

02:15I know just the place.

02:16Come here.

02:16I read this sign earlier.

02:19All right, Foreman's office.

02:20This is where all the ideas get worked out.

02:23The fact they have a place where smart people are like, here, let's just sit down and make

02:27this stuff and figure it all out.

02:28We need to do that in the studio on my mill.

02:31All right, well, let's go in.

02:32Last time we were here, they actually recorded your voice on, like, this little, I don't even

02:39want to call it a record, but it was, like, pressed.

02:41You know what I mean?

02:42And then they would play it back for you.

02:44It's so cool.

02:44We got to see if that's still happening.

02:46Hello, hello, hello.

02:49Now we have a little lab.

02:52Hello, hello, hello, hello.

02:55Hello, hello, hello, hello.

02:57Hello, hello, hello, hello.

02:59And that's clear.

03:03It's way clearer than I thought it was going to be.

03:05That's so cool.

03:07So what I've learned today is clearly I need to thank Thomas Edison for my job.

03:11Yes.

03:11Because apparently he was the first one to make anything pretty much recorded.

03:16Without him, no vinyls.

03:17What the heck?

03:17Listen, I learned me and Tom are not going to be friends, especially with that little slappy

03:21thing that wakes you up so early in the morning.

03:23Hmm.

03:24Not for me.

03:24Thanks.

03:24I'll pass.

03:25This is my main man, Tommy.

03:30You see him looking very dapper, distinguished.

03:33Not really liking the shoes, though.

03:34I think we need to, you know, put some J's on.

03:36But it's fine, you know?

03:37Very thinker of him.

03:39Am I giving thinking, Clay?

03:42Yeah, definitely.

03:43I don't know what it is.

03:44Maybe it's like the spirit of Edison getting into me, but it's, I don't know.

03:47Like, I just feel like nothing happens by accident.

03:50It happens through work.

03:52I'm just coming up off the top of my head.

03:53None of his inventions were by accident.

03:55I feel like they were all through hard work.

03:57Hard work's the key, guys.

03:58Let's stick with that.

04:00I just made that up.

04:03I just made that up, I said.

04:05You know, one of the crazy things about Greenfield Village is it's a historical town, but it's

04:09always changing.

04:10There's new stuff being added, things being renovated.

04:13I mean, you see right behind us.

04:14And this is the Jackson home.

04:15Apparently, it took a long trip to get here from Selma, Alabama.

04:19And my question is, how do we move a house?

04:22Let's say you did something really nice with your Legos.

04:25Mm-hmm.

04:26It took you forever to do it, but you did it on the dining room table.

04:30And my mom says, uh, we're a company company.

04:32You've got to move it.

04:32Mm-hmm.

04:33I can't move it.

04:34You've got to be kidding me.

04:35You don't try getting hold of your project, do you?

04:38You're moving it all in one piece.

04:40Right.

04:40What's going to happen?

04:41It's going to break.

04:42Instead, you take the pieces and you're carefully re-builders.

04:46That is how Mr. Hendricks moved most of the buildings to Greenfield Village.

04:50He took them apart piece by piece.

04:52Every board comes off with a number in letters.

04:54He knows exactly where it goes when he gets it back here.

04:57Well, I understand why he made everybody work 16 hours a day.

05:00Had to put this back together.

05:02It's a Noah Webster's home.

05:04We've got three stories.

05:05Imagine taking that apart.

05:07Forward by a bullet.

05:09Jesus.

05:09Now, if that doesn't get your imagination, I want you to go next door to the stone buildings.

05:15Imagine taking that apart and putting it back together.

05:18I learned that Aquila and the Bee needs to thank Webster because without him, there would

05:23be no dictionary.

05:24And apparently, this is his house and it came from Connecticut, New Haven.

05:28So it feels like it came with me because I went to college there too.

05:31The fact that this is like a three-story home that's been moved so many times.

05:36Listen, there's so much history.

05:37There's so much to learn here.

05:38Whether you're at the inside of the museum or out here at Greenfield Village.

05:42So come and visit Greenfield Village and we're going to be doing our next touring in 313 soon.

05:47Yeah, get all the details.

05:48Even sign up to come with us online now at 1051thebounce.com.
