00:00:01.199 --> 00:00:03.120
And I sound okay on your end.

2
00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:22.320
Hi everyone, I am Jeff and welcome to History and Factor.

3
00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:25.280
It's about today. Today's April the twenty ninth. Today I

4
00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:27.399
just have an awesome cause she has half of the

5
00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:29.879
duo of one of the best podcasts out there. I'm

6
00:00:29.879 --> 00:00:31.559
gonna let Shaye tell you all about it. Shake Goha,

7
00:00:31.559 --> 00:00:32.320
introduce yourself.

8
00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:35.600
Well, Hi everyone, I'm Shay and like Jeff said, I'm

9
00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:38.439
want one half of the Rainy Deer Rabbit Holes History

10
00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:42.719
Unhinged podcast and my co host Jody and I do

11
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:45.600
a weekly podcast where we talk about the lesser known

12
00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:50.079
stories of western North America. So we started primarily with

13
00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:54.320
history from the Pacific Northwest, but we recently branched out

14
00:00:54.399 --> 00:00:57.640
because the wild West is just too juicy to ignore.

15
00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:02.200
So now we do unhinge history from all over Western

16
00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:04.120
North America.

17
00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:06.239
Rainy Day, Rabbit Hole, How'd you come up with that?

18
00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:10.799
So, you know, we actually came up with that while

19
00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:14.319
we were camping in twenty twenty three, sitting around the

20
00:01:14.359 --> 00:01:17.640
campfire having a beer, and I said, hey, you know,

21
00:01:17.879 --> 00:01:21.400
the Pacific Northwest has so many crazy stories. Specifically, the

22
00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:24.840
one that came to mind was the Salish Sea human

23
00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:28.280
foot Discoveries, and I was like, man, it'd be great

24
00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:32.079
to do a podcast about it, and Jody was like,

25
00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:35.000
I'm in and we talked about it some more, and

26
00:01:35.959 --> 00:01:37.200
you know, we were like, oh, it's got to be

27
00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:40.239
something about falling down the rabbit hole, you know, because

28
00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:43.599
you get like obsessed with learning about these weird stories,

29
00:01:43.719 --> 00:01:46.280
and yeah, but it's specific Northwest, so it's got.

30
00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:48.799
To be something to be rain and we came up

31
00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:50.040
with rainy day rabbit holes.

32
00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:52.280
That's pretty cool. So what are some other topics that

33
00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:53.200
you guys like to hit on?

34
00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:57.640
So mostly we really kind of hang out in the

35
00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:01.319
late eighteen hundreds because that was a pretty wild and

36
00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:05.760
wacky time in American history. But we also sometimes get

37
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:11.000
into cryptids, ghosts and other sort of legends as well.

38
00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:16.680
So basically like everything from Sasquatch and batsquatch and the

39
00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:20.360
Men in Black or of the origin of the flying Saucer,

40
00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:24.520
which fun fact, men in Black and the term flying

41
00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:28.759
saucer both originated here in Washington State in the nineteen forties,

42
00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:33.080
all the way to the sex lives of the Lewis

43
00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:36.759
and Clark expedition. So it's kind of a mix of

44
00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:38.439
history and dumb jokes.

45
00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:41.520
Well, sounds fun, and we'll get to it throughout the show.

46
00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:43.280
But today's kind of a special day. Don't you think

47
00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:46.039
it is a special day. Yeah, a lot happened on

48
00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:51.879
April twenty ninth. Today ahead, go ahead, Nope, you're fine.

49
00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:56.680
So today is World Wish Day and it celebrates the

50
00:02:56.759 --> 00:02:59.800
Make a Wish Foundation. They're the ones that grant wishes

51
00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:03.919
to terminally ill and sick kids. They're in fifty countries

52
00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:08.960
around the world. Nineteen eighty Chris Gracius, a seven year

53
00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:12.400
old fighting leukemia, had one wish and that was to

54
00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:16.080
be a police officer. So the people of Phoenix, which

55
00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:19.479
is you know, my home state, Phoenix, Arizona, and their

56
00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:22.960
police department were able to grant his wish. Sadly, four

57
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:26.000
days after being a police officer for a day, Chris

58
00:03:26.039 --> 00:03:28.879
passed away. But the Make a Wish Foundation was born

59
00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:32.919
in eight excuse me. In nineteen eighty one, they granted

60
00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:37.039
their first wish. Frank Salazar was fighting leukemia and he

61
00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:39.599
got to be a fireman for a day. And by

62
00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:43.479
now they have granted over five excuse me, five hundred

63
00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:48.719
and fifty thousand wishes. And the professional wrestler John Senna

64
00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:52.479
has granted wishes to six hundred and fifty kids, the

65
00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:55.240
most by a single person. And so if you have

66
00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:57.919
a little extra cash, today helped make a wish come

67
00:03:57.960 --> 00:03:59.479
true at wish dot org.

68
00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:03.800
Now that is a great organization. It really is. Now

69
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:06.439
to show when the giving spirit I gave her the

70
00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:08.639
cool day, my day really sucks.

71
00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:09.400
Up and down.

72
00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:25.600
Like today is National Zipper Day. You know, might be

73
00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:27.199
hard to believe. There's not a lot of songs about

74
00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:29.160
zippers out there now.

75
00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:31.600
There's not one of my favorite rides at the fair though.

76
00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:34.519
Yeah, that's true. Now zipper is in one form or another.

77
00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:37.360
They started showing up around eighteen fifty. But today in

78
00:04:37.439 --> 00:04:39.920
nineteen thirteen, get in Sutton Beeck he got the patent

79
00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:41.839
for the first zipper that we pretty much used today.

80
00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:44.480
He called that the separate bowl fastener. Now be a

81
00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:46.600
good rich the tire guy he came up with the

82
00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:49.040
term zipper in nineteen twenty three. Yeah, so he started

83
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:51.279
putting them on rubber boots he was selling. So, yeah,

84
00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:52.959
there won't a lot of cars in nineteen twenty three,

85
00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:54.519
so we had a lot of extra rubber, so started

86
00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:58.000
selling rubber boots. Also, I love it in nineteen thirty

87
00:04:58.040 --> 00:05:01.480
four the Yashida Company over in they started making zippers.

88
00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:03.439
Today they make half the zippers that are sold in

89
00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:05.680
the world every year, and so about seven billion of them.

90
00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:08.319
That's about enough about zippers. So how did you and

91
00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:10.160
Jody get together? You guys are sure a good duel.

92
00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:13.720
So the reason we got together is because our husbands

93
00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:17.079
actually work together and are really good friends. We both

94
00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:21.360
live in western Washington State. We love the outdoors and

95
00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:23.639
so that was one of the things that brought us together,

96
00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:27.360
you know, like I said, camping, So when the weather permits,

97
00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:31.800
you might find us hiking, paddleboarding, or camping. And we

98
00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:36.160
both love history. Although Jody always jokes that back in

99
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:39.959
high school she would make her husband, who was her

100
00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:43.120
boyfriend at the time, do her history homework and now

101
00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:47.040
she's doing a history less history book report every week

102
00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:50.879
and loving it. So our favorite place for history in

103
00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:54.160
our neck of the woods is Tacoma, Washington. I know

104
00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:57.399
people are surprised when I don't say Seattle, Washington. It's Tacoma.

105
00:05:57.519 --> 00:06:00.439
I think wins out. It has a really rich history

106
00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:04.000
and you can still find tons of original buildings to explore,

107
00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:06.759
and in fact, I love it so much that I

108
00:06:06.839 --> 00:06:10.040
became a tour guide for our local tour company.

109
00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:10.639
Pretty Gritty Tours.

110
00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:12.120
What are you too there?

111
00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:16.240
So right now I give tours of Stadium High School.

112
00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:19.240
And when I say that, people are like, why do

113
00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:23.079
we want a tour high school? And it's basically a

114
00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:26.720
brick Hogwarts castle on a cliff. So you should definitely

115
00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:28.959
look up pictures of Stadium High School in Tacoma.

116
00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:29.759
It's incredible.

117
00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:33.160
It was originally built to be the West Coast's most

118
00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:38.399
luxurious hotel in the eighteen nineties, but an economic crisis

119
00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:41.800
scrapped the project, and the Tacoma School District purchased it

120
00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:44.720
in nineteen oh three, turning it into the most architecturally

121
00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:48.439
incredible high school in probably all of North America.

122
00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:50.680
Kind of sounds like that high school they did in

123
00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:52.319
the movie Ten Things I Hate About You.

124
00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:55.839
Oh yeah, I should have lived with that. It was

125
00:06:55.879 --> 00:06:58.439
the high school from Ten Things I Hate About You.

126
00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:00.319
And I'm sure most people who have seen that movie

127
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:02.160
real like, that's not a real high school.

128
00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:03.279
It's a real high school.

129
00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:09.040
Well that's pretty cool. Alright, let's see what happened in

130
00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:11.319
entertainment on April the twenty ninth, Let's back There. In

131
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:13.920
nineteen eighty six, number one album was fifty one to

132
00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:16.439
fifty by Van Haleen. Prince in the Revolution had the

133
00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:21.879
number one song with kiss.

134
00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:28.920
Be rich Don't have to be cool to boo he particular.

135
00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:39.759
I'm just wan extra child jiss Earld Thomas Conley. He

136
00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:41.439
had the number one country song with Once in a

137
00:07:41.439 --> 00:08:03.360
Blue Moon Ooh thirty the long song. The number one

138
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:06.319
book was a Perfect Spy by John Lackar. The top

139
00:08:06.399 --> 00:08:09.439
movie was Jojo Dancer. Your Life Is Calling Now. It's

140
00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:12.319
Richard Pryor, six years after he set himself on fire

141
00:08:12.480 --> 00:08:14.879
free Racing while he starred in the movie. It's about

142
00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:18.120
a comedian who severely burns himself doing drugs. Now, it's

143
00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:20.439
kind of like they call it bioepic or something like that.

144
00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:23.040
In the movie he does kind of a stand up

145
00:08:23.079 --> 00:08:25.079
and he reviews his life and all that kind of stuff.

146
00:08:25.360 --> 00:08:28.079
I guess you'd call it a comedy, drama, biological something

147
00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:30.480
like that. So, now, when you guys are picking out

148
00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:32.799
your stories, what really gets your fancy and what makes

149
00:08:32.799 --> 00:08:34.120
you want to do that to talk about that?

150
00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:39.639
So for us, our criteria is kind of is it weird?

151
00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:43.000
Is it out there, is it unhinged? You know, we

152
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:45.919
don't want to talk about boring what you would have

153
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:48.480
heard in history class. It's got to be something that's

154
00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:52.440
going to really really draw you in and keep you interested.

155
00:08:53.080 --> 00:08:56.120
We love to laugh, so when we started this podcast,

156
00:08:56.240 --> 00:08:57.759
we were like, we're not going to be just another

157
00:08:57.799 --> 00:09:02.000
true crime podcast because I might know there's been quite

158
00:09:02.039 --> 00:09:06.200
a few serial killers that originated in the Pacific Northwest,

159
00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:09.360
and it was very tempting to go that route.

160
00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:14.200
But it's very hard to laugh about, you know, murder, right, so,

161
00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:16.679
and you know.

162
00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:20.360
Luckily enough, the eighteen hundreds, the late eighteen hundreds were

163
00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:23.159
full of a lot of characters.

164
00:09:23.759 --> 00:09:25.639
So it's been a lot of fun doing that.

165
00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:28.360
And now that we're branching out into the wild West, Man,

166
00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:33.840
we're getting even more interesting characters, crazy ghost stories. Just

167
00:09:34.440 --> 00:09:37.600
that's so things that have happened in western North America.

168
00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:39.960
See, you, guys, I love talking to history with people

169
00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:41.960
who actually get it, because most people, I mean the

170
00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:45.320
educational system, God bless them, but they ruin history. There's

171
00:09:45.399 --> 00:09:47.720
no reason to know every name and every date and

172
00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:49.320
all that kind of stuff. It's the story that you

173
00:09:49.480 --> 00:09:51.120
learn from and the story that you need to know.

174
00:09:51.720 --> 00:09:56.279
Yeah, it's the lessons that you learn from it, human

175
00:09:56.399 --> 00:10:00.879
lessons and lessons about maybe what we should do anymore.

176
00:10:00.919 --> 00:10:05.279
I don't think that it's fair to not talk about

177
00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:08.840
things just because they put a certain culture or a

178
00:10:08.960 --> 00:10:12.759
certain country in a bad light. It's important to remember

179
00:10:12.840 --> 00:10:16.120
these things. It's important to learn how they happened so

180
00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:18.480
that hopefully we don't do it again. You know, like

181
00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:23.480
America was founded on colonialism, which is not great, and

182
00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:25.559
we do need to talk about it.

183
00:10:25.960 --> 00:10:26.960
It's important to learn.

184
00:10:27.559 --> 00:10:29.159
Yeah, every writing is not going to do it again.

185
00:10:29.159 --> 00:10:32.919
It's not going to change it. So I think everybody's

186
00:10:32.919 --> 00:10:34.440
probably going to the thrown trying to figure out the

187
00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:36.639
sex lives of the Lewis and Clark thing that you

188
00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:37.159
talked about.

189
00:10:38.559 --> 00:10:39.440
That was a fun one.

190
00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:44.679
They were prepared for a lot of shenanigans on the

191
00:10:44.799 --> 00:10:46.000
Lewis and Clark expedition.

192
00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:48.919
Let me tell you, she was one of the most

193
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:51.279
incredible women that I think we've had in American history.

194
00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:53.120
I mean, to do that and having a baby in

195
00:10:53.159 --> 00:10:55.039
all that kind of stuff, that was pretty impressive for her.

196
00:10:55.799 --> 00:10:59.799
Yeah, she was incredible, and she was a she wasn't

197
00:10:59.799 --> 00:11:02.799
an slaved person too. I don't know if a lot

198
00:11:02.840 --> 00:11:06.320
of people know that her quote unquote husband was a

199
00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:10.679
Canadian fur trapper who had either purchased her or won

200
00:11:10.879 --> 00:11:14.679
her at a game of cards, and he was he

201
00:11:14.840 --> 00:11:21.279
had her and then another quote unquote wife. And yeah,

202
00:11:21.399 --> 00:11:24.320
she didn't have a whole lot of choice in her life,

203
00:11:25.679 --> 00:11:29.759
but she sure was a strong, amazing woman. Yes she was.

204
00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:32.480
Let's see. It happened on April the twenty nine. I

205
00:11:32.519 --> 00:11:35.879
was back eighteen fifty four in Hinstonville, Pennsylvania. The Oshman

206
00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:38.919
Institute was found in today it's Lincoln University. It was

207
00:11:38.960 --> 00:11:41.240
the first college to give degrees to black students in

208
00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:43.440
the United States. It started out as a private school,

209
00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:46.120
went public in nineteen seventy two. Today there are the

210
00:11:46.200 --> 00:11:49.519
Lincoln University Lions. Now I'm going to guess most of

211
00:11:49.600 --> 00:11:51.480
you have seen the movie, or at least know the

212
00:11:51.559 --> 00:11:54.200
movie HACKSA Rids. Have you seen it? I have not.

213
00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:55.519
That one I'm not familiar with.

214
00:11:56.279 --> 00:11:59.159
Okay, Well, was today in nineteen forty five a conscientious

215
00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:02.200
objector named Desmond Das. He was a United States medic

216
00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:04.679
named World War Two. He refused to carry a gun

217
00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:07.120
because he was a conscient INCINTI objector. But today he

218
00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:09.480
saved the lives of seventy five US soldiers during the

219
00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:13.200
Battle of Okinawa. It was at axaur Ridge obviously. Now

220
00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:15.759
before that, Desmond he'd already won a Bronze Star and

221
00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:19.480
twice for the actions in Gwaman and the Philippines. Now

222
00:12:19.600 --> 00:12:22.440
for this one, of course, he got the Medal of Honor. Now, well,

223
00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:25.120
Desmond was over there being heroic over in the Pacific.

224
00:12:25.679 --> 00:12:29.200
Over in Europe, US soldiers in Germany they liberated the

225
00:12:29.279 --> 00:12:34.000
Dachau concentration camp. Yeah, they preyed about thirty one, six

226
00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:35.679
hundred and one people over there, most of them are

227
00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:37.960
Jews at that point. See, Dakau had opened up in

228
00:12:38.080 --> 00:12:39.879
nineteen thirty three. It was the first camp that the

229
00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:44.279
Nazis opened up. Started out just for political prisoners, Catholic priests, criminals,

230
00:12:44.679 --> 00:12:46.960
then of course prisoners of war, and then eventually became

231
00:12:47.080 --> 00:12:49.559
just pretty much all Jewish people. Now, when the German

232
00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:52.519
guards they saw the Americans approaching, they all started surrender,

233
00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:54.399
dropping their guns and putting their hands up. Some of

234
00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:56.080
the Americans soldiers didn't care. They went in and started

235
00:12:56.120 --> 00:12:58.720
shooting those guards. Anyway, several of them were actually brought

236
00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:01.320
up on charges for it General George Patten, though yeah

237
00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:04.559
he did missed all charges on it. Almost forty two

238
00:13:04.559 --> 00:13:11.159
thousand people over all those years died in daccaming of

239
00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:11.600
a W.

240
00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:17.840
Chrisman, just like the longes.

241
00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:18.480
Are you.

242
00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:26.039
Well? In nineteen seventy five and Saigon, Vietnam, the American

243
00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:28.879
Radio Service announced that the temperature was one hundred and

244
00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:33.000
five degrees and rising, and then they played the song

245
00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:37.559
White Christmas by Bing Crosby. That may sound weird, but

246
00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:40.840
that was the signal to all Americans still there to

247
00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:44.720
evacuate to their designated rendezvous locations and helicopters would take

248
00:13:44.759 --> 00:13:48.320
them to safety. Saigon was falling to the north Vietnamese,

249
00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:51.679
so get the hell out. Over seven thousand people were

250
00:13:51.720 --> 00:13:54.919
taken from Saigon to US Navy ships offshore. They were

251
00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:58.759
Americans and Vietmmese who had been supporting the US. And

252
00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:01.080
in nineteen ninety two it was something I actually was

253
00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:04.799
alive for. In Los Angeles, even though there was video

254
00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:08.559
evidence showing that they were guilty, a jury acquitted a

255
00:14:08.679 --> 00:14:12.559
four Los Angeles police officers for using excessive force when

256
00:14:12.600 --> 00:14:17.240
they beat motorist Rodney King. Writing erupted all over Los

257
00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:21.720
Angeles lasted six days. Fifty one people were killed, two

258
00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:25.120
two hundred and eighty three people were injured, and over

259
00:14:25.279 --> 00:14:28.960
nine thousand people were arrested. Thirty six hundred fires were

260
00:14:29.039 --> 00:14:32.720
set and eleven hundred buildings were destroyed.

261
00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:33.960
It was a big deal.

262
00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:39.000
In twenty fifteen, the World Health Organization declared German measles

263
00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:42.919
had been eradicated in North America, the first area of

264
00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:48.039
the world to do that, but unfortunately measles are back.

265
00:14:49.279 --> 00:14:53.399
In twenty eighteen, Sweden officially announced that the Swedish meatball

266
00:14:53.519 --> 00:14:57.120
was actually created in Turkey, which is a big blow

267
00:14:57.240 --> 00:14:59.919
to me. I sometimes go to Ikia just eat their

268
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:02.360
Swedish meatballs, and now I feel betrayed.

269
00:15:02.879 --> 00:15:04.919
How about you, Jeff, Yeah, I don't know. There must

270
00:15:04.960 --> 00:15:06.679
have been Ze got a lassy when you think from

271
00:15:06.720 --> 00:15:09.320
to confess to that, I know, I mean.

272
00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:13.919
It's just it's I've been duped. I'm so upset now.

273
00:15:14.559 --> 00:15:16.879
Well, maybe the sweetish seatballs that sounds a little more

274
00:15:16.919 --> 00:15:19.120
appetizing than turkey sweet balls or meatballs.

275
00:15:19.480 --> 00:15:21.360
Well, because then you just think they're made of turkey, right,

276
00:15:21.559 --> 00:15:27.200
which sounds too healthy to be delicious exactly. In twenty twenty,

277
00:15:27.799 --> 00:15:31.759
the longest lightning bolt ever recorded four hundred and seventy

278
00:15:31.879 --> 00:15:36.759
seven miles long, ran across Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi. Now

279
00:15:36.960 --> 00:15:39.840
my question is, how in the world can they measure

280
00:15:39.919 --> 00:15:42.519
a lightning bolt? That seems impossible to me?

281
00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:45.240
Yea, because it's only like a flash. I have no

282
00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:47.600
idea how they did it. And this is yeah, unless

283
00:15:47.679 --> 00:15:49.960
it hit. Unless it hit a guy over in Texas

284
00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:51.919
and another guy in Mississippi and they were forordered and

285
00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:52.919
whatever miles away.

286
00:15:55.120 --> 00:15:56.679
There you go, that one works.

287
00:15:56.919 --> 00:15:59.120
There's some guy in Texas holding a lightning rod in

288
00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:02.120
some kind of sippy, holding a lightning rud and they're like, okay,

289
00:16:02.679 --> 00:16:03.360
just hold it.

290
00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:07.159
Stand there, lill science is pretty amazing.

291
00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:10.799
Now, you guys of all the most podcasts on Happen.

292
00:16:10.840 --> 00:16:12.799
But you guys, if you go to their website, then

293
00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:14.440
we'll actually put a link to it at the end

294
00:16:14.480 --> 00:16:16.480
of the show. You guys have some of the coolest

295
00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:19.480
merchant swag I've ever seen for any kind of podcast.

296
00:16:20.120 --> 00:16:24.080
Oh you like our little champagne drinking podcasting Sasquatch?

297
00:16:24.360 --> 00:16:26.320
Yeah, i'd you come up with that? Who drew it?

298
00:16:27.279 --> 00:16:32.240
Well, our good friend Ai actually drew the sasquatch but

299
00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:37.360
the idea was mine. It's Sasquatch is kind of our

300
00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:40.879
unofficial well well let's just call it official, our official

301
00:16:40.960 --> 00:16:46.639
mascot for the podcast. Sasquatch is a big figure inencryptid

302
00:16:46.679 --> 00:16:50.440
lore up here in the Pacific Northwest, and he was

303
00:16:50.480 --> 00:16:55.360
the subject of one of our very first episodes. And

304
00:16:55.440 --> 00:16:59.480
we're just kind of fascinated by the Bigfoot lore and

305
00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:02.960
people that get really really excited about it, really into it.

306
00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:05.200
And when you're up here in the Pacific Northwest, you

307
00:17:05.279 --> 00:17:08.400
can find so many things with Bigfoot on it, and

308
00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:09.799
we just we love it.

309
00:17:09.960 --> 00:17:10.720
We think it's fun.

310
00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:13.759
I don't think either of us are convinced that it

311
00:17:14.039 --> 00:17:17.880
exists today, but it's fun to talk about and there's

312
00:17:17.880 --> 00:17:19.480
people that are really really into it.

313
00:17:19.720 --> 00:17:22.079
So yeah, so it's Bigfoot all day long.

314
00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:23.680
Yeah, you guys are right in the middle of the

315
00:17:23.720 --> 00:17:26.000
two of the biggest stories out there, Bigfoot in UFOs Man.

316
00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:27.480
Those fact the most fun things to.

317
00:17:27.480 --> 00:17:31.799
Talk about, yeah, exactly. In fact, the Men in Black

318
00:17:31.920 --> 00:17:35.680
and the Flying Saucer legends started here in Washington State,

319
00:17:35.759 --> 00:17:38.160
like I said before, and in fact, there is a

320
00:17:38.599 --> 00:17:43.359
Men in Black birthday bash that happens every June celebrating

321
00:17:44.079 --> 00:17:49.359
the inception of the Men in Black legend, and we

322
00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:51.359
are actually going to be part of that, which is

323
00:17:51.720 --> 00:17:52.279
a lot of fun.

324
00:17:52.640 --> 00:17:55.279
I bet the Men in Black nowhere Sasquatch is there?

325
00:17:55.359 --> 00:17:55.559
You go?

326
00:17:55.799 --> 00:17:56.240
I bet so.

327
00:17:56.880 --> 00:17:58.759
So if you guys, I'm not talking like because I

328
00:17:58.799 --> 00:18:01.160
know you guys do ghost stories now, talking about necessarily

329
00:18:01.200 --> 00:18:02.720
scary if you have come across a story that really

330
00:18:02.759 --> 00:18:03.440
freaked you out.

331
00:18:05.640 --> 00:18:08.799
Like freak me out, like I can't believe this happened

332
00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:12.079
in history, or freaking out like this something that I

333
00:18:12.160 --> 00:18:13.400
thought was fake but is real?

334
00:18:13.680 --> 00:18:16.880
Right, No, not really.

335
00:18:17.119 --> 00:18:21.079
I mean, human cruelty is scary enough, you know, knowing

336
00:18:21.160 --> 00:18:25.240
that people could be so terrible to other human beings,

337
00:18:25.319 --> 00:18:27.160
that's pretty bad.

338
00:18:27.559 --> 00:18:27.720
You know.

339
00:18:27.839 --> 00:18:32.559
Here in where I live in Washington State, we actually

340
00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:37.599
had a temporary concentration camp for the Japanese Americans during

341
00:18:37.640 --> 00:18:40.680
World War Two, and that whole part of history is

342
00:18:40.799 --> 00:18:45.079
pretty unbelievable that that could happen. And that's freaky because

343
00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:49.119
it could happen again. But as far as like supernatural things,

344
00:18:49.200 --> 00:18:52.240
we just went down to Portland, Oregon, which is famous

345
00:18:52.279 --> 00:18:56.599
for its Shanghai tunnels, and that's a legend that these

346
00:18:56.680 --> 00:18:59.920
tunnels underneath the city of Portland were used to basically

347
00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:04.559
kidnapped men to be sold into indentured servitude on ships

348
00:19:04.640 --> 00:19:07.759
that are trading with Asia. And so we went down

349
00:19:07.799 --> 00:19:11.400
into those tours with another podcast, PNW Haunts and Homicides,

350
00:19:11.599 --> 00:19:14.640
and we were shown by the tour guide a picture

351
00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:20.359
that somebody took down there that was pretty crazy creepy.

352
00:19:21.039 --> 00:19:25.480
If this was something that actually they saw, I would

353
00:19:25.559 --> 00:19:28.839
take my belief in ghosts from a two point five

354
00:19:29.079 --> 00:19:30.519
to a four point five.

355
00:19:31.839 --> 00:19:33.920
That's yangy. People don't even I don't even think they

356
00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:36.359
use that word. I don't think most people probably under

357
00:19:36.400 --> 00:19:38.880
forty know what shang iede is. And then that was.

358
00:19:40.440 --> 00:19:42.039
It's considered fairly racist.

359
00:19:42.960 --> 00:19:45.480
It's you know, still used in Portland because that's what

360
00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:49.440
they call these tunnels because the disappearing tunnels doesn't have

361
00:19:49.599 --> 00:19:59.599
the same you know, right fundations do dis.

362
00:20:02.079 --> 00:20:02.759
Subirthday.

363
00:20:02.839 --> 00:20:06.079
We go see the batage like this shibirthday and you

364
00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:08.599
don't that's a birthday.

365
00:20:08.759 --> 00:20:11.359
All right, let's he was born on April the twenty ninth.

366
00:20:28.640 --> 00:20:31.519
That was jazz legend Duke Allington and he's born in Washington,

367
00:20:31.599 --> 00:20:34.160
d C. In eighteen ninety nine. Now it's complete body

368
00:20:34.160 --> 00:20:36.960
of work. It's the largest jazz collection in history anywhere

369
00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:39.279
in the world. He written it, wrote and composed over

370
00:20:39.359 --> 00:20:42.160
one thousand songs. Now what really made Duke stand out

371
00:20:42.200 --> 00:20:44.359
from all the other jazz artists. He actually used big

372
00:20:44.440 --> 00:20:46.640
bands and orchestras to go along with his jazz bands.

373
00:20:47.119 --> 00:20:49.240
Probably the biggest tad it was, don't mean a thing.

374
00:20:49.319 --> 00:20:51.799
If he ain't got that swing, he had Elephantzgerald sing

375
00:20:51.880 --> 00:20:55.200
it now. He went professional in nineteen fourteen and worked

376
00:20:55.200 --> 00:20:57.559
all way up in the nineteen seventy four. Got married

377
00:20:57.599 --> 00:21:00.400
in nineteen nineteen. They had one son. He died in

378
00:21:00.440 --> 00:21:03.119
nineteen seventy four from lung cancer, seventy five years old.

379
00:21:03.839 --> 00:21:08.519
Take out those papers on the trash. Are you don't

380
00:21:08.559 --> 00:21:13.160
get those penjing cats? If you don't spell that, you're

381
00:21:13.240 --> 00:21:13.839
just bur.

382
00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:19.519
You ain't gonna rock and roll no more. Don't go that,

383
00:21:19.839 --> 00:21:20.359
just finish.

384
00:21:22.799 --> 00:21:25.119
That was Carl Gardner singing lead for the Coasters. He

385
00:21:25.200 --> 00:21:27.759
was born in Tyler, Texas in nineteen twenty eight. Helped

386
00:21:27.759 --> 00:21:30.440
form the Coasters in nineteen fifty five. They named themselves

387
00:21:30.480 --> 00:21:33.400
because they've been performed from coast to coast. Carl he

388
00:21:33.480 --> 00:21:35.599

389
00:21:35.759 --> 00:21:38.720
of the biggest hits are Searching Charlie Brown, Young blood

390
00:21:38.839 --> 00:21:42.039
yackety yeck. Carl married his second wife in nineteen eighty seven.

391
00:21:42.119 --> 00:21:45.000
They had one son. Carly died from heart failure due

392
00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:48.960
to Alzheimer's in twenty eleven, eighty three years old. On

393
00:21:49.119 --> 00:21:49.920

394
00:21:52.079 --> 00:21:54.240
Just can't wait to get on the road again.

395
00:21:56.279 --> 00:21:57.119
Why FI love this?

396
00:21:57.359 --> 00:22:05.079
Making music with my friend gave way all all road again,

398
00:22:10.839 --> 00:22:15.839
Country legend Willie Nelson is ninety two today. Happy birthday, Willie.

399
00:22:16.279 --> 00:22:18.680
He's going out on the road again, kicking off his

400
00:22:18.759 --> 00:22:23.279
Outlaw festour on May thirteenth. Bob Dylan will be his

401
00:22:23.480 --> 00:22:26.319
opening act. That is a show you have got to catch.

402
00:22:26.880 --> 00:22:29.839
Willie was born in Abbott, Texas, in nineteen thirty three.

403
00:22:30.400 --> 00:22:33.680
In nineteen fifty six, he started out as a successful songwriter.

Released his first album in nineteen sixty two, has released

405

406
00:22:42.880 --> 00:22:45.319
had the number one song in the world with Julio

407
00:22:45.359 --> 00:22:49.039
Iglesias to All the Girls I've Loved Before, which actually

408
00:22:49.079 --> 00:22:51.720
played a big part in my childhood. My mom loved

409
00:22:51.720 --> 00:22:56.359
this song, played it all the time when she loved Julioglesias,

410
00:22:56.440 --> 00:22:58.400
although my brother used to tease her and call him

411
00:22:58.880 --> 00:23:04.519
Julio Iguana. Willie has twenty five number one country songs.

412
00:23:04.759 --> 00:23:08.039
He's done some acting. He was in the movies Electro Horsemen,

00:23:17.960 --> 00:23:18.599

But shoot them fucon alcomed him all that. Uh.

419
00:23:39.799 --> 00:23:42.279
That was seventy eight year old Tommy James. He was

420
00:23:42.359 --> 00:23:45.359
born in Dayton, Ohio. Best known for singing lead for

421

422
00:23:49.079 --> 00:23:52.759
tour right now. They have shows scheduled until next March.

423
00:23:53.359 --> 00:23:56.480
When they were twelve, they started calling themselves Tommy James

424
00:23:56.599 --> 00:23:59.960
and the Tornadoes changed it when they graduated high school.

425
00:24:00.720 --> 00:24:04.039
First hit song was Hanky Panky, then Crimson and Clover,

426
00:24:04.200 --> 00:24:07.200
which is my personal favorite. I think We're alone now,

427
00:24:07.799 --> 00:24:11.559
Mony Mony are some Yeah. Other artists have covered those

428
00:24:11.640 --> 00:24:15.880
songs a lot. They have sold over one million records

429
00:24:16.319 --> 00:24:19.440
for two years nineteen sixty eight and nineteen sixty nine,

430
00:24:19.680 --> 00:24:23.680
they sold the most records in the world, even beating

431
00:24:23.759 --> 00:24:27.240
out the Beatles and Elvis. Tommy has his own show

432
00:24:27.319 --> 00:24:30.839

He is on every Sunday night, five to eight Eastern Time.

434
00:24:35.720 --> 00:24:38.759
Tommy married his third wife in nineteen eighty one until

435
00:24:38.839 --> 00:24:41.720
she died in twenty twenty two. He just married his

436
00:24:41.880 --> 00:24:45.559
manager a couple of weeks ago on April fifth, my birthday.

437
00:24:46.359 --> 00:24:48.160
Tommy's not doing it on the radio. Don't they let

438
00:24:48.200 --> 00:24:48.799
you on there too?

439
00:24:49.400 --> 00:24:50.160
Oh, that's right.

440
00:24:50.400 --> 00:24:53.200
I am actually on the radio three times a week

441
00:24:53.319 --> 00:24:57.279
on a local lower power radio station called Radio Tacoma,

442
00:24:58.160 --> 00:25:01.160
along with some of my other fellow pod casters from

443
00:25:01.279 --> 00:25:07.440
Midday Movies and Mysterious Specific Northwest. So it's a great,

444
00:25:07.559 --> 00:25:11.359
just little community radio station. They do a lot of

445
00:25:12.000 --> 00:25:17.759
different local music and local podcasts, as well as content

446
00:25:17.960 --> 00:25:22.279
from different local businesses and other people in the community.

447
00:25:22.759 --> 00:25:24.440
You know, those are fun. It's too bad we don't

448
00:25:24.440 --> 00:25:27.079
know everything's so corporate now that those little local radio stations.

449
00:25:27.119 --> 00:25:30.160
Those are the kind of the coolest community radio stations

450
00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:30.559
you can have.

451
00:25:31.079 --> 00:25:35.200
Absolutely, it's definitely a Passion Project. I'm very, very thankful

452
00:25:35.279 --> 00:25:36.839
that we get to be part of that.

453
00:25:37.880 --> 00:25:40.799
Comedian actor Jerry Seinfeld. He was born in Brooklyn, New York,

454
00:25:40.880 --> 00:25:43.599
seventy one today. Now. He was a very popular stand

455
00:25:43.720 --> 00:25:47.400
up comedian. Of course, he started the TV show Seinfeld

456
00:25:47.480 --> 00:25:50.079
for eleven years. It's probably one of the most popular

457
00:25:50.279 --> 00:25:53.359
TV shows in history. I'm assuming then he's been hosting

458
00:25:53.440 --> 00:25:56.720
comedians in cars getting coffee. He did that for six years,

459
00:25:56.759 --> 00:25:59.160
and I think he's actually decided to go back out

460
00:25:59.200 --> 00:26:00.599
on tour again. He was they do it, but then

461
00:26:00.640 --> 00:26:01.880
he's out there right now. If you want to go

462
00:26:01.920 --> 00:26:04.079
see Jerry, you can check him out. Got married nineteen

463

Actor Daniel day Lewis. He's sixty eight. He's born in London, England.

465
00:26:10.160 --> 00:26:12.759
He's one of the best actors of his generation. Been

466
00:26:12.839 --> 00:26:15.599

and Lincoln he lost for her in the Name of

469
00:26:20.319 --> 00:26:24.200
the Father Gangs of New York fandom thread Now. He

470
00:26:24.279 --> 00:26:26.160
had a son from a French actress and then he

471
00:26:26.240 --> 00:26:28.440
married an American in nineteen ninety six. And they have

472
00:26:28.559 --> 00:26:30.599
two sons. And here's the story.

473
00:26:31.440 --> 00:26:37.880
A lovely lady who was bringing three very lovely girls, all.

474
00:26:37.720 --> 00:26:41.079
Of them air call like their mother.

475
00:26:42.000 --> 00:26:43.880
The youngest one girl.

476
00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:47.000
We're going to talk about the lovely middle girl.

477
00:26:47.240 --> 00:26:51.240
Actress Eve Thum is sixty seven born in Burbank, California.

478
00:26:51.799 --> 00:26:54.519
She is best known for playing Jan on The Brady Bunch.

479
00:26:55.720 --> 00:26:58.400
She has done some TV movies since as well. She

480
00:26:58.480 --> 00:27:01.680
has a very successful pain She's very well regarded and

481
00:27:01.920 --> 00:27:04.880
art critics just love her work. Eve has been married

482
00:27:04.920 --> 00:27:08.519
to her second husband since nineteen ninety five, when she

483
00:27:08.640 --> 00:27:11.920
was eleven. In nineteen sixty nine, Eve used her Brady

484
00:27:11.960 --> 00:27:14.920
Bunch money to buy a little beach bungalow in Malibu

485
00:27:15.119 --> 00:27:18.799
for fifty five thousand dollars. She sold it in twenty

486
00:27:18.880 --> 00:27:23.640
sixteen for four million. So, Jeff, I have a confession. Okay,

487
00:27:24.480 --> 00:27:26.480
I've never seen an episode of The Brady Bunch.

488
00:27:27.400 --> 00:27:29.119
I can see that. I mean, they were really deep

489
00:27:29.160 --> 00:27:33.039
and really complex, and they got really intertwined. And did

490
00:27:33.079 --> 00:27:34.279
you ever see the movies they made.

491
00:27:35.039 --> 00:27:38.440
I've never seen anything from The Brady Bunch. I've seen clips.

492
00:27:38.880 --> 00:27:42.960
I know about Marsha, Marsha, Marsha and that is about it.

493
00:27:43.440 --> 00:27:44.960
I know I'm pretty lame.

494
00:27:46.519 --> 00:27:48.960
No, I get it. And see when I was growing up, well,

495
00:27:49.000 --> 00:27:51.440
in elementary school, if you didn't have sports, you came

496
00:27:51.480 --> 00:27:53.519
home and you asked the Brady Bunch and gilligaz Island.

497
00:27:53.559 --> 00:27:54.400
Did you ever see Gillian?

498
00:27:54.799 --> 00:27:56.480
I've never seen an episode of Gillian.

499
00:27:58.079 --> 00:28:00.200
We were not allowed to watch TV D in the

500
00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:03.359
week so it was we would watch movies on the weekend.

501
00:28:03.839 --> 00:28:07.559
We could do cartoons on Saturday morning. So I've seen,

502
00:28:07.839 --> 00:28:11.720
you know a lot of the Smurfs, and you know

503
00:28:13.880 --> 00:28:17.119
what was the Mister Rogers, Mister Rogers. I've seen lots

504
00:28:17.119 --> 00:28:20.319
of Mister Rogers, lots of Sesame Street. But yeah, these

505
00:28:20.359 --> 00:28:22.440
other shows that were popular, I never got to see them.

506
00:28:22.480 --> 00:28:25.480
My husband gets on me all the time. So Also,

507
00:28:25.680 --> 00:28:29.799
actress Michelle Pfeiffer was born in Santa Ana, California.

508
00:28:30.039 --> 00:28:31.440
She is also sixty seven.

509
00:28:32.039 --> 00:28:35.400
She made her acting debut on an episode of Fantasy Island,

510
00:28:35.519 --> 00:28:37.599
another show I have not seen a single episode of.

511
00:28:38.200 --> 00:29:04.200
Her first starring role was in the movie Grease Too, which, well,

512
00:29:04.319 --> 00:29:07.000
her career has certainly gone up since Grease Too. She's

513
00:29:07.039 --> 00:29:11.160
been nominated three times for Oscars for Dangerous Liaisons, The

514
00:29:11.240 --> 00:29:14.359
Fabulous Baker Boys, and love Field. She has played The

515
00:29:14.519 --> 00:29:16.960
Wasp and a bunch of ant Man and Avengers movies.

516
00:29:17.240 --> 00:29:21.359
But my personal favorite Michelle Pfeifert movie was hands down

517
00:29:21.759 --> 00:29:26.079
the nineteen ninety five medieval fantasy epic Lady Hawk, where

518
00:29:26.160 --> 00:29:29.119
she co starred with Matthew Broderick and Rugger Howard, who

519
00:29:29.200 --> 00:29:32.240
is also a favorite actor of mine. Her first husband

520
00:29:32.359 --> 00:29:35.839
was actor Peter Horton for seven years. She married television

521
00:29:35.880 --> 00:29:39.240
producer David E. Kelly in nineteen ninety three, and they

522
00:29:39.359 --> 00:29:40.759
have a son and a daughter.

523
00:29:44.400 --> 00:29:46.359
Going to make you want to check around, say.

524
00:29:46.440 --> 00:29:52.480
Time do you know?

525
00:29:53.200 --> 00:29:54.599
You know? Dis you change?

526
00:29:55.079 --> 00:29:56.200
Thans are going away?

527
00:30:01.559 --> 00:30:04.359
Part of the Wilson and Wilson Phillips is Carnie Wilson.

528
00:30:04.440 --> 00:30:07.079
She's fifty seven. She's born in Los Angeles. Her dad

529
00:30:07.200 --> 00:30:10.039
is Brian Wilson from The Beach Boys now Conney. Her

530
00:30:10.119 --> 00:30:13.000
sister Wendy, and their childhood friend China Phillips founded Wilson

531
00:30:13.000 --> 00:30:15.799
Phillips nineteen eighty nine. Still together sort of. I mean

532
00:30:15.799 --> 00:30:17.359
they go out and play some shows every now and then.

533
00:30:17.400 --> 00:30:19.440
I don't think they're released any music, though some of

534
00:30:19.480 --> 00:30:23.039
their biggest hits are hold on, release Me Impulsive, You're

535
00:30:23.079 --> 00:30:25.279
in love now Corney. She had her own daytime talk

536
00:30:25.319 --> 00:30:27.559
show for a few years. Then she's done a lot

537
00:30:27.599 --> 00:30:29.640
of reality TV over the years too. She even did

538
00:30:29.680 --> 00:30:32.640
White Slot. She got married in two thousand and they

539
00:30:32.680 --> 00:30:35.880
have two daughters, actors Zuma Thurman. She's fifty five. She

540
00:30:35.960 --> 00:30:38.559
was born in Boston, started out as a model, then

541
00:30:38.599 --> 00:30:41.039
she get really big in pulp fiction, The Truth About

542
00:30:41.119 --> 00:30:43.759
Cats and Dogs, Batman and Robin the Keell Bill movies.

543
00:30:44.279 --> 00:30:46.480
She married actor Gary Oldman for a couple of years,

544
00:30:46.519 --> 00:30:48.799
and then she married actor Ethan Hawk for seven years

545
00:30:48.839 --> 00:30:50.720
and they had a daughter and a son. Now, who

546
00:30:50.720 --> 00:30:53.400
am I? She had a daughter from her former fiance,

547
00:30:53.559 --> 00:30:56.000
but they're not together anymore now. I was banging my

548
00:30:56.079 --> 00:30:57.799
head to Wilson Phillips, so I lost my card. Did

549
00:30:57.839 --> 00:30:58.559
we forget anybody?

550
00:30:59.160 --> 00:30:59.720
No? You have that?

551
00:31:00.240 --> 00:31:05.039
And funny enough, Wilson Phillips also plays into my formative

552
00:31:05.119 --> 00:31:08.160
teenage years because I absolutely love them. I had their

553
00:31:08.240 --> 00:31:10.240
cassette tape and I would put it on my walkman

554
00:31:10.400 --> 00:31:13.720
and listen while I rode the bus and sing along

555
00:31:14.279 --> 00:31:18.880
out loud on the bus until somebody said, hey, can

556
00:31:18.960 --> 00:31:23.000
you stop singing? Out loud when you're on the bus,

557
00:31:23.880 --> 00:31:25.920
and that is when I realized that I cannot sing.

558
00:31:28.119 --> 00:31:29.720
Probably trauma, traumatic moment.

559
00:31:30.559 --> 00:31:33.480
Oh but you know, actually, there are a couple of

560
00:31:34.440 --> 00:31:38.480
fairly important historical figures that you've missed in wishing happy birthday,

561
00:31:38.680 --> 00:31:43.839
although they're dead. William Randolph Hurst was born on April

562
00:31:43.880 --> 00:31:47.319
twenty ninth in eighteen sixty three, and listeners might recognize

563
00:31:47.400 --> 00:31:51.240
him as the American newspaper publisher and politician who developed

564
00:31:51.240 --> 00:31:55.720
the nation's largest newspaper chain and media company. He was

565
00:31:55.759 --> 00:31:59.559
pretty famous for his sensational and lured headlines featuring crime,

566
00:32:00.000 --> 00:32:03.079
option in sex. He also ran for President of the

567
00:32:03.200 --> 00:32:05.720
US in nineteen oh four. He's ran for the governor

568
00:32:05.880 --> 00:32:08.640
and mayor of New York several times, and he served

569
00:32:08.640 --> 00:32:12.079
on the US House of Representatives. His life story was

570
00:32:12.160 --> 00:32:16.400
the main inspiration for the character Charles foster Kin in

571
00:32:16.559 --> 00:32:19.880
nineteen forty one's Citizens in Kan and he passed away

572
00:32:20.440 --> 00:32:26.160
in nineteen fifty one. Also, Emperor Hirohito was born in

573
00:32:26.319 --> 00:32:28.960
nineteen oh one. He was one hundred and twenty fourth

574
00:32:29.039 --> 00:32:32.799
Emperor of Japan, raiding from nineteen twenty six to nineteen

575
00:32:32.960 --> 00:32:36.519
eighty nine, when he passed away. His rule encompassed Japan's

576
00:32:36.640 --> 00:32:40.160
militaristic expansion into World War Two, as well as its

577
00:32:40.240 --> 00:32:44.759
remarkable post war transformation into a peaceful economic power in

578
00:32:44.839 --> 00:32:48.079
one of my favorite countries, though his role in wartime

579
00:32:48.160 --> 00:32:52.680
decision making remains a topic of historical debate. He had

580
00:32:52.720 --> 00:32:56.079
seven children, two sons and five daughters with his wife,

581
00:32:56.240 --> 00:33:01.079
Empress Empress Nagako hold On. I can say that better,

582
00:33:01.359 --> 00:33:03.000
Empress Nagako.

583
00:33:03.559 --> 00:33:04.119
He died on.

584
00:33:04.240 --> 00:33:07.920
January seventh, nineteen eighty nine, at the age of eighty seven,

585
00:33:08.160 --> 00:33:10.680
and the era he ruled is considered the Shoa Era

586
00:33:10.839 --> 00:33:16.319
in Japan, and Shoa means enlightened, peace, irradiant, harmony, well

587
00:33:16.400 --> 00:33:20.039
and finally, Also born on this day in nineteen thirty

588
00:33:20.079 --> 00:33:24.279
eight was one Bernie Madeoff who made off with billions

589
00:33:24.319 --> 00:33:28.519
of dollars with the largest Ponzi scheme in history. He

590
00:33:28.640 --> 00:33:31.799
died in prison during his one hundred and fifty year

591
00:33:32.039 --> 00:33:33.000
prison sentence.

592
00:33:34.279 --> 00:33:36.119
I heard him. He was a great guy. I think

593
00:33:36.160 --> 00:33:42.519
all the prisoners just loved him. Sure, So what can

594
00:33:42.559 --> 00:33:43.799
we expect on your podcast?

Thank you, all right.

637
00:35:40.840 --> 00:35:43.280
Our quote of the day today it comes from Alfred Hitchcock.

638
00:35:43.480 --> 00:35:45.440
He died to day in nineteen eighty eighty years old.

639
00:35:45.639 --> 00:35:48.320
Alfred said the length of a film should be directly

640
00:35:48.400 --> 00:35:50.239
related to the endurance of the human bladder.

641
00:35:50.960 --> 00:35:54.840
So that's absolutely perfect. I love that so much.

642
00:35:55.039 --> 00:35:56.039
That's why it was a genius.

643
00:35:56.599 --> 00:35:58.280
This is why I don't watch Avengers movies.

644
00:35:58.920 --> 00:36:01.960

I played my hand, nothing left the show. Should I

665
00:37:05.800 --> 00:37:09.360
go left when right's been all along? Should I head

666
00:37:09.480 --> 00:37:10.519
south back where.

667
00:37:10.400 --> 00:37:13.119
I came from? Now I'm on my way down.

668
00:37:13.760 --> 00:37:33.400
No provisions smelling like cigarettes bad decisions. He hain't nothing

669
00:37:33.480 --> 00:37:38.440
wrong with believing, following your heart, sticking to your guest

670
00:37:38.880 --> 00:37:41.119
to go a ride with no rhyme.

671
00:37:41.039 --> 00:37:41.880
Or reason, got it.

672
00:37:42.199 --> 00:37:45.039
No whend, no walk away, no when you're done now

673
00:37:45.159 --> 00:37:46.480
I'm on my way down.

674
00:37:47.079 --> 00:37:50.280
No provisions smelling like cigarettes.

675
00:37:51.280 --> 00:37:52.440
Bad decisions.
