0:19 Well, hi everyone, I am Jeff and welcome to History and Fact. Good's about today. Today's April the ninth, now Cookie Seas and it might be over, but the girl Scouts they're still out there doing their things. But remember every time you see one of those cute little girl Scouts, there's always a hot mom right behind the scenes doing most of the work, and they can actually be creative and solve problems. Like my co host today, why don't you guys go and introduce yourselves. Hi, my name is Ellie. This is my sister Bud See hello. We both are own patch Faster. So that was a must do for you guys to create after all the years of sewing, right. Yes, years and years of sewing many badges. And your pats Faster. It's not just for girl Scouts. Anybody can use it. If you have an industrial short with the name tags or the company logo, that works great for those, right absolutely, we'll get into a little bit more. Basically, it's a gun with a little fastener that you just not really staple, but kind of almost like tack or nail to that clothing, right, correct, Hey do you guys?

1:13 Definitely makes it much faster and easier, more efficient. Well, I don't know. I don't even think under forty even knows how to sew anymore. Exactly. That's how this whole thing started was the moms didn't know how to sew, and Ellie was about the only one that did. So she was up. So she took on sewing all of the patches for every girl in her troop. Yeah, that'll inspire you to come up with an invention, that's for sure. Now the girls can do it themselves, so that's awesome. Hey, do you give him a patch if they learn how to sew? That's right, you do. Okay, let's celebrate. Do you know what we're celebrating today?

2:05 Today is National Unicorn Day? Oh, come on, girl Scouts and unicorns they go great together. Now, the horn on top of the unicorn, you guys know what that is called. It's actually called an alley corn. So now the unicorn is actually Scotland's national animal. Unicorns. They might be the most popular mythical creation out there. Now it's sorry Scotland. They are mythical. Basically, it's just a horse with a long spiral horn on it. The stores of unicorns they go back six thousand years to Messopotamia. The greats. They believe the unicorns are real, but they lived over in India. So how do we celebrate national unicorn today? Well, if you have kids, you can play make believe or watch books and that kind of stuff. Now, if you don't have kids, yeah, you might want to keep celebrating unicorns. Steers, Well, unless you're make it in your drinking game. That could be fun. You guys unicorn fans.

2:48 Yeah, I like unicorns. I think unicorns are very mystical and cool. Okay, since we're gonna be talking about girl scouts, do you guys have a favorite cookie? Oh? Tag alongs? Absolutely, ten minutes. I like the ones that the peanut butter in them. Tag alongs. Yeah, that tag along? Yeah? Yeah, all right, let's he's going on entertainment on April ninth. Let's about there. In nineteen seventy three number one album album with Lady Sings the Blues, that movie soundtrack, Vicky Lawrence, she had the number one song with the Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia. That's the night that the wards went. Out And George, that's an that they hold don't trust the song and all that? What Sun of the judge in the town got the ludstains on.

3:39 Charlie, Pride You the number one country song with a shoulder to cry on. I need to know there someone who stole. Ten the show. To cry. The number one book was The Odessa File by Frederick Forsyth. The top movie was Charlotte's Web A pick name Wilverer. He is scared he's gonna end up on the dinner plate, so Spider his buddy Charlotte. She goes to work and she tries to rescue him by making fancy webs in his skin. It's voiced by Debbie Reynolds, Harry Gibson, and Paul Land. That was Today In nineteen seventy Paul McCartney.

4:21 He announced to the world that the Beatles were no more. They'd gone their separate ways. Okay, So who came up with the prototype that would be Ellie? How hard? Was that? Not too bad? I just had to try and come up with something that was way easier than trying to sew. This way, you didn't need heat, glue, sewing. Nothing, just a magical punch in your there, right, that's right, and you get those who makes them for you. There's a company in New Jersey. Well, that's awesome. You won't be affected by the tariffs at all. Then, right, all right, let's see. It happened on April the ninth in sixteen eighty two, French explorer Robert de Less he arrived in the Gulf of a America. It came down the Mississippi River. He claimed all that land and the river that it touched for France. Well, then he got down there to the gulf and he named it Louisiana after francis Is King Lewis the fourteenth.

5:12 So after that he went back as a big hero into France and all that kind of stuff. They gave him a heroes welcome. He'd sent him back with a whole troop of army and a bunch of like colonists and all that. They were going to make a big fourth there at Thumb. He never could find it. Guys got mad at him and just killed him because he could never find the where he came out at again in seventeen sixty eight. It is considered the first act of American and resistance against the British. Pretty much, John Hancocky refused to allow two British custom agents to go below deck on one of his ships. Now he had him locked into a cab a closet pretty much, and then the man they really quick unloaded all the wine that the ship was carrying. So he had the British found that wine that they would have taxed it, so I the hancocky would have made any profit from smuggling it.

5:52 So he made a real big spectacle and from in front of all the colonists how he was resisting on their behalf and his patriotism and all that kind of stuff. But yeah, he pretty much did it for money. But the rally and cry about resistance against the British, it was pretty much. Yeah, it was planted, even though it was for money and not really patriotism. Up there in western Pennsylvania, you guys have a lot of historic things going on out there, don't you, mainly from the Civil War and that. Yep, we do went out to I guess I was farther east, said, I was out there in Gettysburg one time. That's pretty cool sight of for Vegas. Very nice area to visit. So you guys like Steeler fans and Penguins fans and stuff. Definitely Penguins fans. Not flyers, Uh. Yeah, So there's western Pennsylvania. Do you guys have like a rivalry against Philly and all that kind of stuff. No, pretty much changed toughun.

6:41 Oh not really. Everybody kind of likes so many different teams it really doesn't matter. Yep. Well you got plenty of them, that's for sure. Eighteen sixty five at the Appomatics Courthouse in Virginia. Now, well he was completely surrounded with no way of escape. Confederate General Robert E. Lee. He surrounded his twenty eight thousand trips to Union General your lisses s. Grant pretty much ended the Civil War. The Indian soldiers, they started celebrating really big. They had that fired up, the bands and all that kind of stuff. Grant he put a stop to it. Yep. He told his men that the Southerners were now they're a countryman again, and to show them some respect. So he told the Southerners lay down your guns and go home. Yeah they did. He let the officers keep their side arms. So it was actually kind of a somber moment when you think it'd be a big celebration, but no, it wasn't. So before Fishleb gets over on April the twentieth eighteen sixty six, Yes, Congress, they overrode Yes President Andrew Johnson's veto that they actually passed the first Civil Rights Bill.

7:30 It guaranteed that all citizens. Anybody who was born in the United States was a citizen, though, well except the Indians. Nineteen oh nine, Congress they passed the Payne Aldredge Bill. Yeah, raised tariffs on goods coming into the United States. Yeah, they kind of sounds familiar, doesn't it. In nineteen sixty five, the world's first dome stadium opened up. It was the Houston Astronom Houston Astros. They played the New York Yankees in an expiiction baseball game. Astros. They were actually called the Houston Cult forty fives before then once they opened up the Asternom. Yep, that's how they begin the Houston Astros. Also in baseball. In nineteen seventy four, San Diego Padres owner Red crock He's the guy who owned McDonald's. He got up in the middle of the game, went up and made a PA announcement to all the fans who were sitting there watching the game. I suffered with you, I've never seen such stupid baseball play in my whole life. Well, it didn't inspire his team. They ended up losing one hundred two games that year. Twenty eighteen United States Senator from Illinois, Tammy Duckworth, she became the first Senator to get birth while she was in office. Now, there wasn't a vote, her and her husband, they did that on their own. Okay, So I'm assuming you have daughters. How'd you get into girl Scouts?

8:28 Yep, that's exact, clear right. I have a daughter. She wanted to start in first grade. By time she was in second grade, I ended up taking over as a leader. She is now a junior in high school. She has one more year ago. So was it all foreign to heer or you've done it when you were a kid. Actually, that's you and I were both gold Scouts so she had so it's not foreign to us at all. Yeah, we actually were grow Scouts the whole time. It made it the whole way through. And Anna, it's going to do the same thing. That's Ellie's daughter. Anna. Well that's really cool kind of a family tradition. So hopefully you'll have a granddaughter someday you'll. Promote the girls crat That would be great. So now you're patch fastener. By sure cookies will not be affordable at all. That Oh no, well then somebody will come up and say they're unhealthy and they'll have to sell like wheat cookies or something.

9:16 That's the flavors that never stay. So when you put the patches on sewing, it is paying especially try and get them off you. You can actually get it off pretty easy direct correct. And we actually have snips that come in the kit and you just snip them and they come right off and you can rearrange them, move them because the girls have these for two years, so that way you can kind of space them out for the first year and make them look nice, and as they earn more, you can move them and add more.
