Speak softly and carry a big stick. Recognize that. It was coined by none other than Theodore Roosevelt, Jr.

The epitome of a man's man. In his 60 years on earth, Teddy would go from an asthmatic bedridden child to sickly to attend school to be in a weightlifter,

boxer, mountain climber, establishment challenging politician, New York City police commissioner, big game hunter, author,

assassination attempt survivor, conservationist, cattle rancher, cowboy, war hero,

Amazon explorer and so much more. Find out everything you never knew you needed to know about the complicated and charismatic 26th president of the United States.

Teddy, mother fucking Roosevelt, today on TimeSuck.

Hey TimeSuckers, happy Monday or Tuesday or whatever day it happens to be when you're sucking on this suck.

I am Reverend Dr. Dan Cummins, Jr. Esquire and this is TimeSuck.

And those titles are a TimeSuck joke. No TimeSuck joke if you're a first-time listener and wondering who they'll refer to themselves with that many titles.

That would be email scammers. Pump for today's episode. Digging in some very interesting history today.

Fellow members of the cult of the curious. Appreciate you blowing off work and other life responsibilities to have a little fun.

Learn a little something new. Love learning new interesting facts about the world we live in and the people who have inhabited it.

Glad you do too. Thanks to the TimeSuckers who came out to the Columbus Fanny Bound.

Columbus Ohio this past week couldn't appreciate the support more. Appreciate the feedback on the new standup.

And yeah, I'm actually recording this episode from Columbus because I'll be traveling when it hits tomorrow morning on Monday.

And so if you hear anything different, you know, it's just I'm at the mercy of wherever I happen to be lately while I'm touring.

Huge thanks to Sophie Evans for joining the Bose Django's research team. Give me a great start to the info covered in this episode.

Thanks for all the emails. I'm way behind on replying back. So if I haven't gotten back to you, nothing personal.

I've barely been able to stay on top of just getting episodes out on time. I mean, I'm talking barely.

I'm talking staying up till 6 a.m. getting up at 8 a.m. kind of crazy shit.

Trying to get ahead on these sucks. I have a whole business plan. I don't discuss it, you know, fully in each episode.

But I just got to pull push through for a couple more months and then I think I'll be able to get things a little calmed down a little easier.
