The Mysterious Case of Rudolf Diesel, and How Reading Helps You Think, with Doug Brunt

[@darrellskinner5263]

It’s so cute how they can be having a really interesting conversation about something completely unrelated to their relationship, yet still manage to give each other compliments.

[@warrenwhite9085]

Watch Megyn’s body language; You can see how attracted to & proud of him she is.

[@tracy3186]

As a direct descendant of Rudolph I thank you for telling his story!!

[@foxtrotjulietbravo5536]

I interviewed one of your relatives once when I did a sit-down with Adolphus Busch while a reporter.

[@lukeknowles5700]

Fascinating on so many levels! Megyn, you are blessed, and I feel blessed by being a subscriber. You bring so much goodness to your fans!

[@crbourret]

My Dad was a truck driver and so was I, just ordered my copy of the book from Amazon and interested to learn about the man that has had such a great influence on our professional lives!

[@foxtrotjulietbravo5536]

So was my dad. I have gone with him to engine museums, too!

[@darrenmiller6927]

I think this is going to be my next book. I love history, and only read non fiction since about 2010. I can't believe Doug and Megyn read "Devil In the White City", loved that book back in 2008ish. Love this break from the politics. Love Megyn and this show. Doug is super charming with infectious enthusiasm, a captivating charismatic guy, clearly brilliant, and just plain fun. Another great interview by one of the best, Megyn Kelly.

[@jimblack8027]

an articulate and accurate accounting of this video...

[@jimwerther]

Why are you surprised they read "Devil In The White City"? That was a rather popular book, IIRC.

[@foxtrotjulietbravo5536]

My husband and I have listened to audio books for years. This one is moving to the top of the list! P.S. My husband's great grandfather immigrated to the U.S. from Prussia.

[@anniemfonte6938]

The book sounds excellent. It is now on my read list. Having grown up on a farm and driving Diesel trucks, tractors, 4-wheelers, etc., I greatly appreciate Diesel's invention. It is beautiful to see the two of you in this educational conversation. You exemplify a wholesome relationship that embraces respect, honor, love, and devotion. Thank you. P.S. Megyn, I listen to your podcast daily, and I admire your ability and willingness to color outside the lines and bring the facts to the audience.

[@foxtrotjulietbravo5536]

Same here Annie! - Jeannie

[@nancyk3729]

Loved today's show! You two are the cutest! Ordering the book today! Thanks for giving us a break from the politics of the world. That is why I love your show, Megyn. You keep us apprised of what is going on but you also provide an opportunity to enjoy other topics. This show was one of them! Poor Rudolf!

[@pennytriez]

Thank you so much for your show and for this episode !! Having grown up around farm and heavy machinery and as a wife of a truck driver and I had no idea there was a story behind the Diesel engine. Also didn’t know that a lot of people have no idea about the difference between a gas and Diesel powered engine. Stopped less than halfway through to buy it on Audible. My husband loves to listen to non fiction while driving and I can’t wait to read it also. Keep doing what you’re doing Megyn, we need voices like yours now more than ever❤❤❤

[@amyrudolph1090]

Um, if you were trying to turn Doug's book into a MUST read. Done! Mission accomplished!

[@Kim-wq5wi]

I could listen to Doug talk for long periods of time. Great communicator and story teller. I will definitely check out his podcast. Good luck with the book launch! What a catch Megyn.😊

[@robertleist771]

Really enjoyed the show today. When it start I was thinking this is not what I listen to Megyn for and was considering turn it off. You held me long enough till I got interested. I drive a diesel pickup truck and I've always been interested in the engineering behind it and why it is better for do work. I've also been interested in alternative fuels for diesel engines. I had thoughts of brewing my own biodiesel sort of like Willie Nelson has. I'm not a book reader, but I get motivated to give a shot. Maybe an audio book like you do. Great show.

[@monalisatselane5093]

Hi Megyn, I'm in South Africa and love you and your show. Never missed an episode, you are beautiful, thorough, as well as brilliant. Definitely buying the book. Keep up the good work.

[@shanechapman9312]

My childhood was so bad I always had books because I could get lost in a book and forget what was going to happen or what happened so books saved my life and I was on the honor roll all throughout school I am positive they went hand and hand so this book is going to be a great addition just this interview is making me wanting the book right now but it is 11 o'clock at night so I must wait!! Torture!!! Waiting isnt me I have the worst patience of anyone I have met!! Oh thank you I have not gotten excited about a book in years and in an instant you changed that way to go!! I love you!! Love always Kelli

[@user-np6wq1tx9c]

So sorry to read about your childhood. Hope your life is wonderful now. God bless❤

[@ccastillogallegoify]

Wonderful show, Megyn, I listen to your program from Spain and I have become a huge fan. I will buy the book, of course. If you ever come to my country, I would love to meet you. ❤

[@jdrigot]

Very interesting interview and topic.

[@yvonnevollert-noblitt3724]

What a great show today! Loved hearing you and Doug discuss his latest book, which I am not only going to purchase and read, but I plan to recommend the it to my book clubs. I am a huge history buff! Thank you for all you do to keep your audience informed on the real issues of the day!

[@Amrelgohary2000]

Love the family spirit felt throughout the show. God bless you. Will buy Doug’s book

[@Footnote56]

What is better than mating with a smart and beautiful person? Kudos to you both for your gifts and accomplishments! Just bought Doug’s book and looking forward to plunging in.

[@nyx5743]

Excellent interview! My dad and I love to share history and nonfiction books so this will be a great one to give him after I read it. Congrats Doug!

[@DarrylMiglio]

thanks Megyn for displaying and promoting family. Your advocating for the basis of the American family is a major attraction for me.

[@johnf2539]

A(nother) great interview, Megyn! The topic was fantastic, as was your guest. I love the martini tradition, too!

[@gloriaficke2617]

I just ordered Doug’s book. Thank you for the wonderful “teaser!” I love Megyn’s podcast! Megyn, you give me hope for journalism. Thank you so much. I am also planning on listening to Doug’s podcast.

[@scottcharette1744]

9 hour flight today and this was the perfect audiobook! My first actually. Great narration. Fascinating story, well researched, and well written. Recommending it to my engineer brother and son.

[@30footsmurf.sbsb.361]

This episode is fascinating! I love the political commentary but this is also such a treat. I just bought the book since now I must know what happened to Rudolph.

[@briteeyes2133]

I just ordered a copy for my husband! He is a retired Northwest/ Delta 747 captain and absolutely loves history! He will thoroughly enjoy it I am sure. Great show! So enjoyed seeing you both together!

[@bigdogblackie]

Megyn, you had to have Doug on the show to show him off, after telling your audience that THOSE PEOPLE would never turn up evidence of you cheating on Doug, because you would never, ever cheat on Doug. 😊

[@lizettebuys5198]

I think they both struck gold in their choice of spouse. I have read his novels and I can recommend them.

Fantastic show Megyn Kelly! Doug Brunt’s new book sounds so interesting. I want to read it! Thank you for having him on your show to tell us all about it.

[@ELW2940]

Very enjoyable interview you two. Interesting to see the interplay between a couple that show their mutual admiration for each other and the obvious love for each other. Thanks for the opportunity to meet Doug which encourages me to check out his web site. I took a minute about halfway to text a buddy who has been a Diesel mechanic and instructor for years about this interview and the debut of Doug’s new book. Watch you frequently Megan and our stars align almost exactly. There was a short time that I lost faith in you when you decided you didn’t like Trump anymore but I think you’ve seen the light now. I wouldn’t be inclined to sit down and have a beer with him but he’s the best thing this country currently has going for it so I bite the bullet and overlook his arrogance and abrasive manners. Thank you for an enjoyable blog.

[@markmalonson7531]

Your husband is very handsome and intelligent. Beautiful people. I learn by watching these presentations thank you.

[@TeressaCompton-hi4wb]

As always, what a fantastic show, Megyn! I have a new old lady crush now. Seriously though, Doug reminds me of my big brother (R.I.P), who truly understood the science of history and to whom I could just sit and listen (talk) for hours on end. What a lovely and awesome couple you two are!! Regards, TC from TN

[@theodoramason4996]

love seeing this beautiful couple working together. i’ve been married 46 years and love working with my husband. ❤

What a lovely show today, we need more relief from politics. Doug is intelligent, gracious, stalwart and a brilliant writer and all around a good husband and father. I’m sad to say that is very rare in this world. Looking forward to reading his book, I love history. God bless you both and your family!

What a wonderfully enlightening and fascinating show! As a lover of history and travel and my much missed, mother who has passed being from the Bavaria region of Germany .🇩🇪 I am totally intrigued, and how did so many of us not know about Rudolph Diesel?! Your husband is a brilliant and easy on the eyes as well! 😉 Just like his wife❤! You both really do compliment and complete each other... brilliant minds💡 I can not wait to read the book !

Absolutely my favorite episode yet. And I’ve seen pretty much every one! Hope my law student daughter can find her Doug!! Thanks MK ❤️

[@vickycorey8195]

I will be purchasing the book! You both are so sweet together.

[@sdfswords]

Rudolf Diesel was part of family lore, my grandfather was a prime military naval contractor and built the USA battleship "Dreadnaughts", in anticipation of WWI happening between the German and British. Doug is correct, the diesel was an energy efficiency revolution, every bit the equal to nuclear power in the 20th Century. Diesel was a humanitarian, and actually wanted it to be accessible to the common man, on a very local and peaceful basis. Powerful inventions are usually leveraged for warfare and projection of power, and such was the case with the diesel engine, though the civilian uses for transport and energy production are legion. Hope the book does well, Doug, it is a story that deserves telling.

[@jamesgibson538]

What a wonderful and surprising interview! Husband and wife are a delightful and profound addition to our common knowledge... including our history which continues to form our global life today. I will definitely read this book by Doug, and I trust that more historical education will fortify the backbone of our nation.

What an interesting subject and indepth investigation! I'll be ordering soon! Your husband's enthusiasm for the subject shines!
