Today is National Vinyl Records Day. Now.
10
00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:42.960
I know a lot of you are too young to

remember vinyl records, so, yeah, you missed out when your
12
00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:48.399
music would pop and scratch and skip all that kind
13
00:00:48.439 --> 00:00:51.960
of cool stuff. They are making a comeback starting in
14
00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:55.240

and pop record store. Yeah there's still some around, so
21
00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:13.599
kind of enjoyed the experience of actually shopping for music
22
00:01:13.640 --> 00:01:16.480
in person and not online. All right, Let's see what
23
00:01:16.519 --> 00:01:18.760
happened in entertainment on August twelfth. Let's go back to
24
00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:21.879
nineteen ninety nine. Number one album was Millennium by the
25
00:01:21.879 --> 00:01:24.840
Backstreet Boys. Christina Aguilera had the number one song with

00:01:24.920 --> 00:01:50.280
Jeanie in a Bottle. Lone Star had the number one
27
00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:51.959
country song with Amazed.
28
00:01:53.719 --> 00:02:12.800
At the Rest Whever every Little du Maybe I'm Mains
29
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:13.360
by You.
30
00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:17.800
The number one book was Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's
31
00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:18.680
Stone by JK.
32
00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:19.159
Rowling.
33
00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:22.879
Top movie was The Sixth Sense, A child psychologist treats
34
00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:25.960
the Little Boys his Dead People stars Bruce Williams and
35
00:02:26.039 --> 00:02:29.439
Hayley Joe Osman. All Right, what happened on October the twelfth,
36
00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:32.919
eighteen fifty one America and Isaac Singer. He invented the
37
00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:37.120
sewing machine In eighteen sixty five. Sergeon Joseph Lister, he
38
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:40.280
performed a minor operation over in Glasgow, Scotland. He was
39
00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:43.560
teaching over there and he fixed a compound leg fracture. Yeah,
40
00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:45.520
made history when he did that little surgery though. It
41
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:48.759
was the world's first anti septic surgery. See, he believed
42
00:02:48.759 --> 00:02:52.159
that when you sterilize surgical instruments before surgery, it would
43
00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:55.360
greatly help reduce infections and gang green and all that
44
00:02:55.439 --> 00:02:58.599
kind of stuff. But pretty much the medical establishment day
45
00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:01.680
that Iowa didn't matter. So he created his own antiseptic
46
00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:04.280
he uses to sterilize all the instruments that he would use.
47
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:06.439
Fixed up the guy's leg, worked out great, and the
48
00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:09.960
guy had no problems afterward. Yes, Listine mouthwash is named
49
00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:14.879
after him. Eighteen seventy seven asoph All, he was really bumbering.
50
00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:17.039
He was a burned out astronomer man. He wasn't finding
51
00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:20.319
anything up there. He decided he was quitting, told his wife,
52
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:22.240
and his wife said, well, just go out one more time.
53
00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:23.879
You know, you have nothing else to do tonight, might
54
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:26.120
as well go to work. He didn't want to, but
55
00:03:26.199 --> 00:03:29.479
he dragged his butt to work, ended up discovering Demos.
56
00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:32.719
That was a moon that circles Mars. Couldn't believe they'd
57
00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:34.759
found something, so now he was all fired up. Six
58
00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:37.280
days later he found Phobos. It was a second moon
59
00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:40.360
that actually circled Mars. So he named him after Greek
60
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:42.800
mythological characters. I think he should at least na him
61
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:45.960
one after his wife. Nineteen thirty Clars Bird's Eye. He
62
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:48.599
got a patent for quick freezing food. Yeah that bird's
63
00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:50.759
Eye fruit. Yeah, that was a guy's real name, Bird's Eye.
64
00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:55.120
Nineteen thirty eight and nineteen thirty six and Seymour, Texas,
65
00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:57.199
they set their state record at one hundred and twenty degrees.
66
00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:00.599
But see Texas, they're different. They had a younger generation
67
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:03.960
actually stepped up and was able to tie it. Monhannas, Texas.
68
00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:05.199
They were able to get to under in twenty in
69
00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:08.599
nineteen ninety four. Also in nineteen thirty six and the
70
00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:11.960
Berlin Olympics, a demonstration game of baseball was played. Two
71
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:15.120
Americans teams played. America beat America six to five. I
72
00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:17.279
guess the French can't play baseball because they weren't in
73
00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:19.439
these Olympics. But they'll be back in twenty twenty eight
74
00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:23.720
when they moved to Los Angeles. Nineteen fifty three and Davidson.
75
00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:26.240
She arrived in Miami in a twenty three foot boat.
76
00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:28.879
It was called the Pelistian. Now she was the first
77
00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:32.240
woman in the sales solo across the Atlantic Ocean. Now,
78
00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:35.160
due to sensitivity training, I was advised to attend. I
79
00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:38.079
will not make any comments about women drivers, but I
80
00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:40.000
did say she got there in nineteen fifty three.
81
00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:43.439
Right. She left Plymouth, England on May of nineteen fifty two.
82
00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:46.680
Yeah, and with all due sensitivity, I'm not going to
83
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:48.759
blame it on her bad driving. I'm just gonna say
84
00:04:48.759 --> 00:04:51.439
she was fashionably one year late. So you can tell
85
00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:52.439
I took notes and everything.
86
00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:53.480
Huh.
87
00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:55.720
In England and there was a rock band called the
88
00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:58.680
Silver Beatles. Their drummer was a guy named Tommy Moore,
89
00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:00.560
now Tommy. He also worked as a a fork left
90
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:01.959
driver to help pay his bills.
91
00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:04.279
Today. In nineteen sixty he quit the band.
92
00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:06.319
See, the band was playing too many gigs for him
93
00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:07.600
to be able to keep his job as a fork
94
00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:11.079
lift driver, so he told his wife. His wife basically
95
00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:13.560
made him quit. So he told his bandmates. Well, his
96
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:16.680
bandmates Paul McCartney, John Lennon and George Harrison, they really
97
00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:18.319
liked him. They didn't want to lose him as their drummer,
98
00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:20.000
so they went to his house to try and talk
99
00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:22.000
him out of it. As they were standing out front,
100
00:05:22.040 --> 00:05:23.759
you know, selling hey, we can figure this out. You know,
101
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:25.720
we can work things out. You know, the whole time
102
00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:27.560
his wife was yelling at him out the window to
103
00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:30.800
piss off. Oh, they were bummed out, but they did leave.
104
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:33.839
Later on they changed their name just to the Beatles. Yeah,
105
00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:37.160
their drummers worth three hundred and fifty million bucks.
106
00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:42.800
Go goat coat, coat coat, goat shot. This shiverf day,
107
00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:45.800
we gonna pause. He left this shiver day. We don't
108
00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:46.519
sit with cars.
109
00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:49.000
He was like, this shibf day. And you know we
110
00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:50.720
don't get birthday.
111
00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:53.759
All right, let's see it. Born on August the twelfth
112
00:05:53.959 --> 00:05:56.920
put Robert Southey. He was born in Bristol, England, in
113
00:05:56.959 --> 00:05:59.839
seventeen seventy four. Now, unless you're a fan of eight
114
00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:02.720
he is British poetry. You probably don't know about Robert
115
00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:05.600
except for one poem. He wrote the original Three Bears.
116
00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:08.600
But in his original version, a fat, old, ugly woman
117
00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:11.079
goes into the three bear's house. She sets and breaks
118
00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:13.720
a chair, eats all the bear's porge, sleeps in one
119
00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:15.879
of the bear's beds. The bears come home and find her.
120
00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:18.879
She jumps out the windows, never seen again. Well, twelve
121
00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:21.079
years later, a guy named Joseph Kundall. He wrote the
122
00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:23.519
Three Bears in that he took the ugly, fat old
123
00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:26.240
woman and turned her into goldilocks. Now that's the version
124
00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:28.720
that we all love today. Right, But if you google
125
00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:31.199
it southey, he still gets credit for the Three Bears.
126
00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:33.480
He actually did a lot of writing over the years
127
00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:34.680
of when there's not gonna.
128
00:06:34.439 --> 00:06:35.079
Talk about it.
129
00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:37.480
He married twice and they both his wife died. He
130
00:06:37.519 --> 00:06:39.480
had eight kids between him. He died in eighteen forty
131
00:06:39.480 --> 00:07:04.399
three and sixty eight years old. Catherine Lee Bates she
132
00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:07.920
was born in Falmouth, Massachusetts, in eighteen fifty nine. In
133
00:07:07.959 --> 00:07:10.759

Pike's Peak while she was up there admiring the view.
137
00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:19.839
She became so inspired she wrote the poem Pike's Peak
138
00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:23.160
Now that became really popular in the nineteen ten It

rest of her life actually teaching back east at Weddellesley College.
