Today is National filet mignon day. Fla mignon. It is

8
00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:55.240
French for a cute fil at or dainty filet. Technically

9
00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:57.759
the fla mignon it's the tender line. So if you

10
00:00:57.799 --> 00:01:00.159
have a t bone steak, the bigger side is your

11
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:03.159

12
00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:06.280

00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:11.239
side of it and try and keep it from drying out. Now,

00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:14.000
it is the most expensive cut of beef. They are small,

16
00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:15.879
but they're really good, so you have to pay for it.

17
00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:16.439
Now.

18
00:01:16.439 --> 00:01:18.719

32
00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:34.319
they team up to terrorize the kids on Elm Street. Well,

33
00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:37.400
then they turn on each other. Starts Freddy, Jason and

34
00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:42.360
Kelly Rowland from Destiny's chong Ah. What happened on April thirteenth,

35
00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:46.719
fifteen twenty one, Anteno Tichelan It's Mexico City today. Spanish

36
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:50.240
conquistador hernerd Cortez and his men. They were able to

37
00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:54.520
capture the Aztec emperor Quatimuk. Now that pretty much ended

38
00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:57.120
the Aztec Empire right then and there. Now he was

39
00:02:57.199 --> 00:03:00.000
kept in prison for four years, but Cortez he finally

40
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:02.599
executed him because he was given him being alive. Yeah,

41
00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:05.560
I gave the Aztecs hope he didn't want that. Eighteen

42
00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:10.560
eighty nine, in Hartford, Connecticut, William Gray he invented the

43
00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:14.000
coin operated telephone. Now, see, at one time in history,

44
00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:16.319
everybody didn't have a phone with them at all times.

45
00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:18.719
So you needed to get a hold of someone, you

46
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:21.080
just go to these boosts and they had phones in there,

47
00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:22.719
and you drop coins in there and yeah, and you

48
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:25.280
could call them. Okay, at one time in history, you

49
00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:27.319
didn't pay for things with your phone. You had these

50
00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:29.360
little silver coins and you could use that to pay

51
00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:32.840
for people. Also, in eighteen eighty nine in Illinois, Handsome

52
00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:36.479

53
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:38.840
it was the first coffee pot that had a percolator.

54
00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:41.520
His basic design. Yeah, it's still used all over the

55
00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:42.120
place today.

56
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:42.879
Now.

57
00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:45.719
See people still make coffee at home sometimes. Yeah, I've

58
00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:48.520

62
00:03:56.759 --> 00:04:00.400
at the Chicago Coliseum, they held the world's first roller derby. Yeah,

63
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:02.240
I don't think the rules have changed. It's just girls

64
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:05.159
skating around beating the crap out of each other. Nineteen

65
00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:09.080

Well. Let's see his I'm on August the thirteen sharp

83
00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:04.279
shooter Annie Oakley. She was born in Drake County, Ohio,

84
00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:06.759
in eighteen sixty. Now she had to learn how to

85
00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:09.160
hunt and shoot at a really young age. Her family

86
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:11.600
was extremely poor, so she had to help put food

87
00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:14.800
on the table. In eighteen seventy five, this professional shooter,

88
00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:18.000
his name was Frank Butler. He came into town. He

89
00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:20.480
bet the entire town one hundred bucks. That'd be about

90
00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:23.279
twenty five hundred day, that he could outshoot anybody in

91
00:05:23.319 --> 00:05:25.720
that town. So the town they took that Beck, and

92
00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:28.800
then they had somebody go get Annie. They wanted her

93
00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:31.600
to shoot for him so she could out She beat Frank. Yep,

94
00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:34.319
she won that. Yeah, fifteen year old Annie Oakley, she

95
00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:36.920
won that town that hundred bucks. Now the town they

96
00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:39.360
were pretty happy with their money. Frank, he was so impressed.

97
00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:41.920
He married Annie. Then those two took off. They toured

98
00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:44.480
the country putting on shooting exhibition. Finally hooked up with

99
00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:47.360
Buffalo Bill Cody, and he began the star of Buffalo

100
00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:50.639
Bill's Wild West show Cowles. They loved Anny. She could

101
00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:52.600
shoot a plane, card on his side and slid it

102
00:05:52.600 --> 00:05:55.639
in half. She shot balloons out of Frank's mouth. People

103
00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:57.240
in the crowd would throw up dimes and she'd just

104
00:05:57.240 --> 00:05:59.040
shoot him out of the air. Now, when they were

105
00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:01.079
touring Europe, the Ki of Germany will mount in the

106
00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:02.920
second he had to shoot a lit cigarette out of

107
00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:05.920
his mouth. Well, eventually, Annie, she kind of got bored

108
00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:08.399
of doing that, so she retired. Then, when she has

109
00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:10.639
sixty two years old, she'd been retired about twenty years,

110
00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:13.560
she put on a shooting demonstration for neighbors. She had

111
00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:16.160
one hundred clay pigeons in a row. Yeah, I didn't

in nineteen fifty nine. Started acting when he was eight.

170
00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:42.320
Best known for playing Danny on The Partridge Family. Now

171
00:09:42.360 --> 00:09:44.720
on the show, he was supposed to play bass guitar.

172
00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:46.799
Of course none of them played their instruments but looked

173
00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:50.240
at it. But it drove David Kapsle Cassidy drove him crazy.

174
00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:53.840
So you don't strum a bass guitar, David. Yeah, they

175
00:09:53.879 --> 00:09:57.399
thought he was a realgue professional. Now since the Partrieres Family, Dan,

176
00:09:57.440 --> 00:09:59.840
He's done a lot of rallied TV show and celebrity

177
00:10:00.440 --> 00:10:03.000
He beat up Greg Brady. Then in celebrity wrestling he

178
00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:06.279
beat up Peter Brady. Danny he had her synicated radio

179
00:10:06.360 --> 00:10:09.200
show well over ten years now. He met his second

180
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:11.480
wife on a wife on a blind date. Yeah, they

181
00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:13.919
married that same day they met. They remained married for

182
00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:16.679
sixteen years. I had two kids when they divorced. Married

183
00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:18.799
his third wife in twenty ten. Now they dated for

184
00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:22.000
three years beforehand, so you know that'll last forever. Now, Danny,

185
00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:24.519
he was always in really good shape man, really big

186
00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:27.120
martial artist, black belt and all that stuff. Yeah, somebody

187
00:10:27.159 --> 00:10:29.879
should have told the Brady guys. But now some about

188
00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:33.159
what two thousand and three, he started not feeling well. Yeah,

189
00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:35.159
he could, didn't have any good balance and he had

190
00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:37.360
trouble walking on that went in and he had some

191
00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:39.159
disease that I can't pronounce. So he had to have

192
00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:41.240
brain surgery and he is over. It sounds like he

193
00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:43.600
did okay coming out of the surgery. But he just retired, yep,

194
00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:47.000
quit the radio show, quit entertainment all together. Now he's

195
00:10:47.039 --> 00:10:50.320
out in Palm Springs just enjoying his retirement. So good

196
00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:53.759
for him. Alright here, Court of the day, it's gonna
