00:00:20.359 --> 00:00:23.079
Well, hi everyone, I am Jeff, and welcome to history
2
00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:27.039
and factoids about today. Day's April the twenty seventh. I
3
00:00:27.079 --> 00:00:27.600
hate it.
4
00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:31.079
When I get prime rib and there's tons and tons of.
5
00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:35.719
Fat on it. I just I just want the beef.
6
00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:42.439
Sometimes I get prime rib and like half of it
7
00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:43.119
is fat.
8
00:00:44.159 --> 00:00:45.520
I just want to eat.
9
00:00:45.359 --> 00:00:48.960
The red meat. I just want to eat the red meat.
10
00:00:49.880 --> 00:00:52.960
Today is National Prime rib Day. A prime rib it
11
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:54.679
is a cut of beef between the sixth and the
12
00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:57.200
twelfth rib. Now, a grade is given to every cut
13
00:00:57.200 --> 00:01:00.320
of beef, you know, Choice, Select, Standard, Prime. It's only
14
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:02.640
given to two percent of all the grades that are
15
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:04.879
given out for beef. So, yeah, he probably won't get
16
00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:07.040
that at your local grocery store, but it makes it
17
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:09.000
a good excuse for going out on a date night
18
00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:12.560
to your local steakhouse or upper end restaurant. Now, if
19
00:01:12.599 --> 00:01:14.239
you do want to make prim rib at home, what
20
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:16.599
you do is you buy ribbi roast. Now, it is
21
00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:19.120
the exact same cut as prime rem. It's just not
22
00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:22.359
great at prime. So there, so they enjoy primary or
23
00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:25.920
ribbi roast. Yeah, and just have a good meal today. Alright,
24
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:28.439
let's see what happened in entertainment On April twenty seventh,
25
00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:31.439
Let's back to nineteen ninety eight. Number one album was
26
00:01:31.480 --> 00:01:34.359
the Titanic movie soundtrack. Next had the number one song
27
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:47.120
was Too Close, What You.
28
00:01:50.159 --> 00:02:01.000
Hold, The Songs That Ful Fine.
29
00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:01.560
Nine twin the number one country song with You're Still
30
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:02.319
the one.
31
00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:21.719
Still He's Still, He's Still one Army.
32
00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:26.960
The number one book was The Long Way Home by
33
00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:30.479
Danielle Steele. The top movie was He Got Game. A
34
00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:33.199
basketball player's dad has to convince him to go to
35
00:02:33.199 --> 00:02:35.639
college so he can get a shorter prison sentence. Stars
36
00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:39.599
Denzel Washington, Miller Joviovic, and Ray Allen. In Night in
37
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:42.039
two thousand and two, it was the first time since
38
00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:44.479
nineteen sixty three there were no British acts in the
39
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:49.360
Yes Billboard Top one hundred chart. USA. All right, listen,
40
00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:52.280
what was going on? On April the twenty seventh United
41
00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:55.280
States Army officer Zebulen Pike. Back in eighteen oh six,
42
00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:57.439
he was exploring out west. That's when he came across
43
00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:00.400
the named Pike's Peak and what is Colorado today? But today?
44
00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:03.199
In eighteen thirteen, in the War of eighteen twelve, General
45
00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:06.000
Pike he led his men into battle and defeated the
46
00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:08.520
British were able to capture what today is Toronto, Canada,
47
00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:11.319
Saturday Pike. He was killed in the battle thirty four
48
00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:15.280
years old, eighteen sixty one West Virginia. They seceded from
49
00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:18.439
Virginia after Virginia seceeded from the United States to join
50
00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:22.159
the Confederacy. Now this is still the worst maritime disaster
51
00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:25.080
in US history. Eighteen sixty five. Now, the Civil War
52
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:27.280
had just ended. The North they needed to get their
53
00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:30.400
prisoners being held down South back up north. So the
54
00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:32.759
North said that they would pay any steamboat two dollars
55
00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:35.319
and seventy five cents for every enlisted man and eight
56
00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:38.639
dollars for every officer they brought back north. Wow the steamboat.
57
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:40.879
The Sultana said, Aah, that's no problem. We have a
58
00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:43.520
capacity of three hundred and seventy six people. Well, the
59
00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:46.639
ship's captain. He bribed local authorities. Then he headed off
60
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:49.719
up north with over two thousand former prisoners of war,
61
00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:52.400
the crew, and some people who were just catching their ride.
62
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:55.080
Four hundred and twenty seven people were on that ship.
63
00:03:55.479 --> 00:03:57.599
Wow the steamboat didn't like that. Three of the four
64
00:03:57.639 --> 00:04:00.879
boilers exploded, killed over eighteen hundred of the people who
65
00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:02.360
are on board the ship. That's a lot more than
66
00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:04.759
the Titanic even, but they're not sure. They don't know
67
00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:07.080
if the boat just couldn't handle it, or if somebody
68
00:04:07.159 --> 00:04:10.719
sabotaged it. But in any case, horrible accident. Can you
69
00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:13.000
imagine he survived the war and then he had blown
70
00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:16.480
up going home? Have you heard the riddle Who's born
71
00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:19.439
in Grant's tomb? Well the answer is no one. He
72
00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:23.600
Grant and his wife. They aren't buried in that tomb. No, say,
73
00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:27.680
they're actually in matching sarcophaguss so they're actually above ground,
74
00:04:27.839 --> 00:04:30.079
not below. So nope, no one's buried in Grants too.
75
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:33.120
Now Grants too. It was completed today in eighteen ninety seven,
76
00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:36.040
twelve years after Grant had died. It is the largest
77
00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:39.560
mausoleum in North America. It's in New York City. Now,
78
00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:42.279
this is actually kind of surprising. Nineteen thirty one, at
79
00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:45.680
Pahala on the Big Island in Hawaii, temperature hitt one
80
00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:48.879
hundred degrees. That is still Hawaii state record for hottest
81
00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:50.680
tamp Ever. Yes, the only time that it's hit one
82
00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:52.959
hundred degrees on any of the Hawaiian islands, at least that's
83
00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:56.800
been recorded during World War Two, Paulin's White told Pelecki,
84
00:04:57.399 --> 00:04:59.519
Now he volunteered to let the Germans capture him and
85
00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:02.199
send him to show It's concentration camp. That was back
86
00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:04.959
in September of nineteen forty. Now he did it to
87
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:07.279
get information about what was actually going on in there,
88
00:05:07.480 --> 00:05:10.439
and he was able to smuggle out some of the intelligency.
89
00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:12.240
He was able to gather over the ears. But today,
90
00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:14.319
in nineteen forty three, he escaped so he could come
91
00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:16.720
tell everybody what was going on. Yeah, face to face
92
00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:18.439
and let him know what was going on. Dude was
93
00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:21.000
a real stud. Now he survived all that. Then the
94
00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:23.920
Soviets they executed him in nineteen forty eight. Yeah, he
95
00:05:24.519 --> 00:05:28.000
was opposing their communist regime over there in Poland. Nineteen
96
00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:31.480
fifty three. Professional wrestler Freddie Blazing. He coined the term
97
00:05:31.480 --> 00:05:35.920
pencil neck geek. Nineteen eighty four. In Red Lake, Montana,
98
00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:38.120
they had seventy inches of snowfall this late in the
99
00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:41.879
year nineteen ninety nine. At the Nevada State Museum, they
100
00:05:41.879 --> 00:05:43.480
had this mummy on a shelf in one of the
101
00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:45.480
back rooms. They don't even know how long it was there.
102
00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:47.680
It was there forever Finally someone said, hey, do you
103
00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:49.959
think we should do something with that mummy? So they
104
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:53.079
had a radio carbon dated ninety four hundred years old.
105
00:05:53.079 --> 00:06:00.399
It's the oldest mummy in North America.
106
00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:04.680
Dish Shibirf Day were gonna he left this shibof day.
107
00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:05.879

108
00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:07.399
He left thish Shibirf Day.
109
00:06:07.720 --> 00:06:08.639
And you know we don't do.
110
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:13.079
Birthday, okay. He was born on April the twenty seventh,
111
00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:16.519
Ulysses S. Grant. Now he was born High Room. Ulysses
112
00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:19.079
Grant say when he went to West Point, his name
113
00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:21.480
was written down wrong on all his paperwork. He just
114
00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:23.879
went along with it as Ulysses S. Grant, So obviously
115
00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:26.279
the s doesn't mean anything. He was born out in

00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:29.199

120
00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:40.439
in eighteen forty eight, neither of his parents would attend
121
00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:43.680
the wedding. They refused to go, say his future wives

00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:46.279
family they owned slaves, And his parents say, yeah, they
123

didn't go for that at all. Now, his wife. She
124
00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:50.639

125
00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:52.720
