00:00:19.039 --> 00:00:21.600
Well, hi everyone, I am Jeff and welcome to History
2
00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:24.359
and Fact. Good's about today. Today's April the ninth, now
3
00:00:24.399 --> 00:00:26.280
Cookie Seas and it might be over, but the girl
4
00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:28.839
Scouts they're still out there doing their things. But remember
5
00:00:28.879 --> 00:00:30.879
every time you see one of those cute little girl Scouts,
6
00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:33.119
there's always a hot mom right behind the scenes doing
7
00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:35.159
most of the work, and they can actually be creative
8
00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:37.359
and solve problems. Like my co host today, why don't
9
00:00:37.359 --> 00:00:38.799
you guys go and introduce yourselves.
10
00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:41.320
Hi, my name is Ellie. This is my sister Bud
11
00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:44.640
See hello. We both are own patch Faster.
12
00:00:45.079 --> 00:00:46.840
So that was a must do for you guys to
13
00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:49.000
create after all the years of sewing, right.
14
00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:53.200
Yes, years and years of sewing many badges.
15
00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:55.000
And your pats Faster. It's not just for girl Scouts.
16
00:00:55.079 --> 00:00:57.159
Anybody can use it. If you have an industrial short
17
00:00:57.200 --> 00:00:59.520
with the name tags or the company logo, that works
18
00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:03.280
great for those, right absolutely, we'll get into a little
19
00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:05.760
bit more. Basically, it's a gun with a little fastener
20
00:01:05.799 --> 00:01:09.040
that you just not really staple, but kind of almost
21
00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:13.319
like tack or nail to that clothing, right, correct, Hey
22
00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:13.680
do you guys?
23
00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:16.120
Definitely makes it much faster and easier, more efficient.
24
00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:18.680
Well, I don't know. I don't even think under forty
25
00:01:18.719 --> 00:01:19.760
even knows how to sew anymore.
26
00:01:20.599 --> 00:01:23.719
Exactly. That's how this whole thing started was the moms
27
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:27.040
didn't know how to sew, and Ellie was about the
28
00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:27.959
only one that did.
29
00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:29.239
So she was up.
30
00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:31.879
So she took on sewing all of the patches for
31
00:01:31.959 --> 00:01:32.840
every girl in her troop.
32
00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:36.200
Yeah, that'll inspire you to come up with an invention,
33
00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:36.840
that's for sure.
34
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:40.480
Now the girls can do it themselves, so that's awesome.
35
00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:42.200
Hey, do you give him a patch if they learn
36
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:42.640
how to sew?
37
00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:44.319
That's right, you do.
38
00:01:45.799 --> 00:02:03.560
Okay, let's celebrate. Do you know what we're celebrating today?
39
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:08.960
Today is National Unicorn Day? Oh, come on, girl Scouts
40
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:11.919
and unicorns they go great together. Now, the horn on
41
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:14.000
top of the unicorn, you guys know what that is called.
42
00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:17.560
It's actually called an alley corn. So now the unicorn
43
00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:20.879
is actually Scotland's national animal. Unicorns. They might be the
44
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:24.400
most popular mythical creation out there. Now it's sorry Scotland.
45
00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:26.759
They are mythical. Basically, it's just a horse with a
46
00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:29.039
long spiral horn on it. The stores of unicorns they
47
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:31.919
go back six thousand years to Messopotamia. The greats. They
48
00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:34.120
believe the unicorns are real, but they lived over in India.
49
00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:37.159
So how do we celebrate national unicorn today? Well, if
50
00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:39.439
you have kids, you can play make believe or watch
51
00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:41.719
books and that kind of stuff. Now, if you don't
52
00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:44.280
have kids, yeah, you might want to keep celebrating unicorns. Steers, Well,
53
00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:46.000
unless you're make it in your drinking game. That could
54
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:48.319
be fun. You guys unicorn fans.
55
00:02:48.960 --> 00:02:51.919
Yeah, I like unicorns. I think unicorns are very mystical
56
00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:52.400
and cool.
57
00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:55.520
Okay, since we're gonna be talking about girl scouts, do you
58
00:02:55.560 --> 00:02:56.919

59
00:02:57.039 --> 00:02:59.240

62
00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:03.960

64
00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:08.280
Yeah, all right, let's he's going on entertainment on April ninth.
65
00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:10.719
Let's about there. In nineteen seventy three number one album
66
00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:14.560
album with Lady Sings the Blues, that movie soundtrack, Vicky Lawrence,
67
00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:15.960
she had the number one song with the Night the
68
00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:17.039
Lights Went Out in Georgia.
69
00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:20.240
That's the night that the wards went.
70
00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:29.159
Out And George, that's an that they hold don't trust
71
00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:34.759

72
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:36.560
in the town got the ludstains on.
73
00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:41.360
Charlie, Pride You the number one country song with a
74
00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:45.759
shoulder to cry on. I need to know there someone
75
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:52.879
who stole.
76
00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:55.080
Ten the show.
77
00:03:58.879 --> 00:03:59.400
To cry.
78
00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:05.000
The number one book was The Odessa File by Frederick Forsyth.
79
00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:08.039
The top movie was Charlotte's Web A pick name Wilverer.
80
00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:09.919
He is scared he's gonna end up on the dinner plate,
81
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:12.719
so Spider his buddy Charlotte. She goes to work and
82
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:14.879
she tries to rescue him by making fancy webs in
83
00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:18.600
his skin. It's voiced by Debbie Reynolds, Harry Gibson, and
84
00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:21.759
Paul Land. That was Today In nineteen seventy Paul McCartney.
85
00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:23.720
He announced to the world that the Beatles were no more.
86
00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:26.519
They'd gone their separate ways. Okay, So who came up
87
00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:29.920
with the prototype that would be Ellie? How hard? Was that?
88
00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:32.680
Not too bad? I just had to try and come
89
00:04:32.759 --> 00:04:36.759
up with something that was way easier than trying to sew.
90
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:40.199
This way, you didn't need heat, glue, sewing.
91
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:43.839
Nothing, just a magical punch in your there, right, that's right,
92
00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:46.279
and you get those who makes them for you.
93
00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:48.920
There's a company in New Jersey.
94
00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:51.480
Well, that's awesome. You won't be affected by the tariffs
95
00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:54.240
at all. Then, right, all right, let's see. It happened
96
00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:57.639
on April the ninth in sixteen eighty two, French explorer
97
00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:00.439
Robert de Less he arrived in the Gulf of a America.
98
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:03.360
It came down the Mississippi River. He claimed all that
99
00:05:03.480 --> 00:05:07.120
land and the river that it touched for France. Well,
100
00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:08.839
then he got down there to the gulf and he
101
00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:11.759
named it Louisiana after francis Is King Lewis the fourteenth.
102
00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:14.120
So after that he went back as a big hero
103
00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:15.920
into France and all that kind of stuff. They gave
104
00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:18.199
him a heroes welcome. He'd sent him back with a
105
00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:21.399
whole troop of army and a bunch of like colonists
106
00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:22.519
and all that. They were going to make a big
107
00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:24.839
fourth there at Thumb. He never could find it. Guys
108
00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:26.120
got mad at him and just killed him because he
109
00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:27.959
could never find the where he came out at again
110
00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:31.199
in seventeen sixty eight. It is considered the first act
111
00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:34.920
of American and resistance against the British. Pretty much, John
112
00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:37.759
Hancocky refused to allow two British custom agents to go
113
00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:40.240
below deck on one of his ships. Now he had
114
00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:42.720
him locked into a cab a closet pretty much, and
115
00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:45.560
then the man they really quick unloaded all the wine
116
00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:47.519
that the ship was carrying. So he had the British
117
00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:49.759
found that wine that they would have taxed it, so
118
00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:52.399
I the hancocky would have made any profit from smuggling it.
119
00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:55.360
So he made a real big spectacle and from in
120
00:05:55.399 --> 00:05:58.240
front of all the colonists how he was resisting on
121
00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:00.800
their behalf and his patriotism and all that kind of stuff.
122
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:02.680
But yeah, he pretty much did it for money. But
123
00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:05.279
the rally and cry about resistance against the British, it
124
00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:08.879
was pretty much. Yeah, it was planted, even though it
125
00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:11.319
was for money and not really patriotism. Up there in
126
00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:13.800
western Pennsylvania, you guys have a lot of historic things
127
00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:15.959
going on out there, don't you, mainly from the Civil
128
00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:19.639
War and that. Yep, we do went out to I
129
00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:21.879
guess I was farther east, said, I was out there
130
00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:24.920
in Gettysburg one time. That's pretty cool sight of for Vegas.
131
00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:26.279
Very nice area to visit.
132
00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:29.720
So you guys like Steeler fans and Penguins fans and stuff.
133
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:32.480
Definitely Penguins fans.
134
00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:35.639
Not flyers, Uh. Yeah, So there's western Pennsylvania. Do you
135
00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:38.480
guys have like a rivalry against Philly and all that
136
00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:41.600
kind of stuff. No, pretty much changed toughun.
137
00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:43.839
Oh not really. Everybody kind of likes so many different
138
00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:44.839
teams it really doesn't matter.
139
00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:47.120
Yep. Well you got plenty of them, that's for sure.
140
00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:50.959
Eighteen sixty five at the Appomatics Courthouse in Virginia. Now,
141
00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:53.560
well he was completely surrounded with no way of escape.
142
00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:54.720
Confederate General Robert E.
143
00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:54.959
Lee.
144
00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:57.399
He surrounded his twenty eight thousand trips to Union General
145
00:06:57.439 --> 00:06:59.879
your lisses s. Grant pretty much ended the Civil War.
146
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:02.399
The Indian soldiers, they started celebrating really big. They had
147
00:07:02.439 --> 00:07:04.279
that fired up, the bands and all that kind of stuff.
148
00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:05.519
Grant he put a stop to it.
149
00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:06.040
Yep.
150
00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:08.040
He told his men that the Southerners were now they're
151
00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:10.240
a countryman again, and to show them some respect. So
152
00:07:10.279 --> 00:07:12.759
he told the Southerners lay down your guns and go home.
153
00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:16.040
Yeah they did. He let the officers keep their side arms.
154
00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:18.040
So it was actually kind of a somber moment when
155
00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:20.360
you think it'd be a big celebration, but no, it wasn't.
156
00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:24.040
So before Fishleb gets over on April the twentieth eighteen
157
00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:27.160
sixty six, Yes, Congress, they overrode Yes President Andrew Johnson's
158
00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:30.000
veto that they actually passed the first Civil Rights Bill.
159
00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:33.160
It guaranteed that all citizens. Anybody who was born in
160
00:07:33.160 --> 00:07:36.000
the United States was a citizen, though, well except the Indians.
161
00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:39.519
Nineteen oh nine, Congress they passed the Payne Aldredge Bill. Yeah,
162
00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:42.879
raised tariffs on goods coming into the United States. Yeah,
163
00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:46.800
they kind of sounds familiar, doesn't it. In nineteen sixty five,
164
00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:48.759
the world's first dome stadium opened up. It was the
165
00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:51.839
Houston Astronom Houston Astros. They played the New York Yankees
166
00:07:51.879 --> 00:07:54.879
in an expiiction baseball game. Astros. They were actually called
167
00:07:54.879 --> 00:07:57.439
the Houston Cult forty fives before then once they opened
168
00:07:57.480 --> 00:07:59.600
up the Asternom. Yep, that's how they begin the Houston Astros.
169
00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:02.759
Also in baseball. In nineteen seventy four, San Diego Padres
170
00:08:02.759 --> 00:08:05.079
owner Red crock He's the guy who owned McDonald's. He
171
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:06.480
got up in the middle of the game, went up
172
00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:08.240
and made a PA announcement to all the fans who
173
00:08:08.279 --> 00:08:10.160
were sitting there watching the game. I suffered with you,
174
00:08:10.199 --> 00:08:13.040
I've never seen such stupid baseball play in my whole life. Well,
175
00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:15.040
it didn't inspire his team. They ended up losing one
176
00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:18.079
hundred two games that year. Twenty eighteen United States Senator
177
00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:20.839
from Illinois, Tammy Duckworth, she became the first Senator to
178
00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:23.079
get birth while she was in office. Now, there wasn't
179
00:08:23.079 --> 00:08:24.519
a vote, her and her husband, they did that on
180
00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:27.240
their own. Okay, So I'm assuming you have daughters. How'd
181
00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:28.240
you get into girl Scouts?
182
00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:30.759
Yep, that's exact, clear right. I have a daughter. She
183
00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:33.440
wanted to start in first grade. By time she was
184
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:35.600
in second grade, I ended up taking over as a leader.
185
00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:38.360
She is now a junior in high school. She has
186
00:08:38.360 --> 00:08:39.120
one more year ago.
187
00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:41.159
So was it all foreign to heer or you've done
188
00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:42.000
it when you were a kid.
189
00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:46.279
Actually, that's you and I were both gold Scouts so
190
00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:49.600
she had so it's not foreign to us at all. Yeah,
191
00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:51.000
we actually were grow Scouts the whole time. It made
192
00:08:51.000 --> 00:08:52.200
it the whole way through. And Anna, it's going to
193
00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:54.240
do the same thing. That's Ellie's daughter. Anna.
194
00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:57.799
Well that's really cool kind of a family tradition. So
195
00:08:57.799 --> 00:09:00.519
hopefully you'll have a granddaughter someday you'll.
196
00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:03.440
Promote the girls crat That would be great.
197
00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:05.759
So now you're patch fastener.
198
00:09:06.120 --> 00:09:08.320
By sure cookies will not be affordable at all.
199
00:09:08.360 --> 00:09:12.120
That Oh no, well then somebody will come up and
200
00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:14.120
say they're unhealthy and they'll have to sell like wheat
201
00:09:14.120 --> 00:09:15.200
cookies or something.
202
00:09:16.440 --> 00:09:19.120
That's the flavors that never stay.
203
00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:23.080
So when you put the patches on sewing, it is
204
00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:26.080
paying especially try and get them off you. You can
205
00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:28.080
actually get it off pretty easy direct correct.
206
00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:31.320
And we actually have snips that come in the kit
207
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:33.960
and you just snip them and they come right off
208
00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:36.919
and you can rearrange them, move them because the girls
209
00:09:36.960 --> 00:09:39.519
have these for two years, so that way you can
210
00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:40.960
kind of space them out for the first year and
211
00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:42.559
make them look nice, and as they earn more, you
212
00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:44.039
can move them and add more.
213
00:09:44.360 --> 00:09:46.840
Now this isn't a good segue. We're gonna go do
214
00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:47.600
some birthdays.
215
00:09:47.879 --> 00:09:54.759
Bo joke joke joke show just shub day. We gon
216
00:09:55.759 --> 00:09:56.320

217
00:09:56.720 --> 00:10:02.080
We won't sit just SHUBs day, and you don't birthday.
218
00:10:02.799 --> 00:10:04.960
Okay, I don't really want to go from Girl Scouts
219
00:10:04.960 --> 00:10:07.000
to this guy, but I didn't look ahead. Now the
220
00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:11.159
founder of Playboy magazine, Yeah, Hugh Hefner. He was born
221
00:10:11.159 --> 00:10:13.919
in Chicago in nineteen twenty six after college. He was
222
00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:16.879
working as a copywriter for Esquire magazine, where they refused
223
00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:18.399
to give him a five dollar a week raise, so
224
00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:20.639
he quick got him so forty five investors. They all
225
00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:23.320
tipped in seven grand Mom chipped in one thousand dollars.
226
00:10:23.360 --> 00:10:26.679
Started Playboy magazine in nineteen fifty three. Marilyn Monroe. She
227
00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:28.919
was the first centerfold in on the cover of it. Now,
228
00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:30.960
she didn't post for those pictures for Playboy. She had
229
00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:33.600
done it like five years earlier because she needed some money.
230
00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:35.559
So after he just actually bought those pictures from the
231
00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:39.039
photographer who took him. Now, back when Playboy was really
232
00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:42.799
in his height, they had their own really exclusive nightclubs
233
00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:45.679
and airline and TV network. Now today they don't even
234
00:10:45.679 --> 00:10:48.000
show naked girls anymore. I didn't know that. I guess
235
00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:50.720
they stopped with the naked girls in twenty fifteen. Here.
236
00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:53.320
He married his first wife in nineteen forty nine. They
237
00:10:53.320 --> 00:10:55.679
had a son and a daughter. Then he had They
238
00:10:55.679 --> 00:10:57.279
were married for ten years. Married a second wife in
239
00:10:57.360 --> 00:11:00.480
nineteen eighty nine. She was actually a playmate. They had sons.
