click and clack the Tappert brothers and we're broadcasting this week

from the center for the mangling of Spanish translation here at Kartak Plaza.

Well it wasn't our fault. Let me just point this out. I mean we didn't mangle any

Well I did feel a little embarrassed and we several weeks ago we had a call from

somebody some gentleman from Santa Fe.

And I asked him if he knew what Santa Fe meant.

And he didn't know.

He confessed he didn't know and then he asked me what it meant and I didn't know either but I figured he would know he should know I mean why

should we know and he suggested he suggested in fact Saint Faye and I that doesn't sound right, because I had heard once what it meant and, and, and, and,

we got a lot of mail about this, actually, this one is from Christina Horn who says dear Tom and Ray

Saint Faye next you'll be believing that they move the Alamo. On your program you had a caller from Santa Fe who stumbled through an explanation of what

Santa Fe means.

I was lucky enough to visit there in June and according to my guidebook.

Yes.

See people who live in the city don't ever read a guidebook because they know where they are.

Get this.

The full name of Santa Fe is La Villarreal de Sant'A de San Francisco de Assis, the Royal City of the Holy Faith of St Francis of Assisi.

And so of course, Santa Fe means Holy Faith.

Not to be confused with what I explain, whatever my brother actually gets an answer right.
