Hi, I'm Jeff and welcome to History and Factor. It's

00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:25.800
Give me a Cuban sandwich.

sports and a slice of wine cheese in the shop.
6
00:00:36.119 --> 00:00:40.399
So it's on a pickle. Picklep go say el comano.
7
00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:43.079
That's a Cubic sandwich.
8
00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:48.079
Today is national Cuban sandwich to day. Now you didn't
9
00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:50.600
get it from the song. A Cuban sandwich is ham
10
00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:54.320
roasted pork, Swiss cheese, pickle, yellow mustard between two white
11
00:00:54.320 --> 00:00:58.280
pieces of bread. Now that's today. See the original Cuban sandwich.
12
00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:00.479
It goes way back to when the Tehanod were the
13
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:02.880
ones who lived on an island at Cuba. Yeah, they
14
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:04.359
wrote it down on rocks and stuff. They would have
15
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:08.159
their sandwiches. They used fishing birds, but then the Europeans
16
00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:10.400
showed up, well, the Spanish and the fifteen hundreds. They
17
00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:12.959
brought pigs, so yeah, no more fishing birds they needed.
18
00:01:13.079 --> 00:01:15.280
I don't know what they used for the pickle. Nineteen
19
00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:17.159
thirty four are the Cuban sandwich made it way up
20
00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:19.480

21
00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:21.959
their menus there and then they explode it all across Florida.
22
00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:24.159
Now there are a lot of deals going on today
23
00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:26.640
in Florida, not many anywhere else in the country now.
24
00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:29.000
But you can make them yourself. It's not that like
25
00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:30.760
they're that hard. But if you go to Cuba and
26
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:32.760
you want a Cuban sandwich, yeah, I just order a sandwich.
27
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:34.840

professional fighter star as Elvas Presley, gig Young and Lola Albright.
49
00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:53.039
Charles Bronston was in it too, all right. What happened
50
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:56.000
on August twenty third near fifteen hundred Francisco D.
51
00:02:56.120 --> 00:02:56.680
Babbadilla.
52
00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:00.479
That's pretty fun to say, bubbadiya, you're right take over
53
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:03.039
as the governor of the West Indies Islands in the Caribbean.
54
00:03:03.439 --> 00:03:06.039
First order business. Well, he had to arrest the current governor,
55
00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:09.120
that's Christopher Columbus. Well he did. He put Columbus in
56
00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:11.639
chains and send him back to Spain. The myth is
57
00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:13.919
that Columbus he was being punished for how badly he
58
00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:17.240
treated the natives. No, Spain didn't care about that, yeah,
59
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:19.800
the natives, yeah whatever. What he was actually being punished
60
00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:21.719
for was the way he actually treated the Spanish sellers.
61
00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:23.960
So when he got back to Spain, Columbus he did
62
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:26.800
spend a couple months in jail, in prison that but
63
00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:28.479
then the king just let him go. He really didn't
64
00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:31.039
care what was going on over there seventeen eighty four
65
00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:33.800
are the people of East Tennessee. They declared their independence,
66
00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:37.000
yet they seceded from Tennessee. They didn't want anything to
67
00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:39.800
do with them West Tennessee's. They called themselves the state
68
00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:43.800
of Franklin. Yeah, they named themselves after Benjamin Franklin. Now
69
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:45.840
it took a year, but the US Congress finally stepped
70
00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:48.439
in and said no. But you know what on all
71
00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:50.599
the kids who were born in that year, all their
72
00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:55.240
birth certificates read for state. Yeah, Franklin. Nineteen oh four,
73
00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:58.319
New York's Harry Weed. He invented the tire chain. You
74
00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:01.759
know that change that you put on your card when
75
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:05.080
it snows. Yeah, somebody had well. See he saw drivers
76
00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:07.439
with rope around their tires were added grip. He figured,
77
00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:10.319
you know how the chain would work better. Nineteen forty three,
78
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:12.680
in World War Two, the largest tank battle in history,
79
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:15.280
and it's called the Battle of Kersk, who was fought
80
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:18.600
in the Soviet Union. Lasted fifty days. Now, the Soviets
81
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:20.439
and Germans. They went at it, and the Soviets did
82
00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:23.000
win that battle, but it was pretty much from attrition.
83
00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:25.399
They had just so many more men in tanks than
84
00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:28.959
the Germans. Did Germany they lost one thousand tanks. Soviet
85
00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:31.920
Union they lost six thousand tanks. Soviets lost seven hundred
86
00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:34.879
thousand men. Germany lost two hundred thousand men. But that
87
00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:37.720
Soviet victory was huge. It kept Germany from advancing into
88
00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:40.800
the Soviet Union. Yeah, in Germany they never really did
89
00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:43.120
recover from it too. They just had too many losses.
90
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:45.319
Is basically what turned the war on the Eastern Front.
91
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:48.639
Nineteen fifty two, Kenny Well, she became the first woman
92
00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:50.720
to have a number one song on the Country and
93
00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:51.680
Western Music chart.
94
00:04:52.279 --> 00:05:02.879
Tss R say, it brings him reason when our crust.
95
00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:10.720
It wasn't God made all talk.
96
00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:16.920
Game, dude, Yep, if God wanted, if God wasn't, It
97
00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:19.879
wasn't God that made honky tonk Angels, That's what. It
98
00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:22.399
wasn't God that made honky tonk Ages state number one
99
00:05:22.439 --> 00:05:24.639
for fifteen weeks on the country. Churt actually crossed over
100
00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:27.480
and was pretty good on the pop dirt too Africa.
101
00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:30.920
In nineteen sixty in Equatorial Guinea, they caught the largest
102
00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:33.120
frog ever, was twelve and a half inches long away
103
00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:36.160
seven point three pounds. Then they found out that there
104
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:38.120
wasn't to only one there were the whole species of
105
00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:40.639
frogs just like it, so they named them the African
106
00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:43.720
goliath bullfrogs. Then in the nineteen eighties, this dude, he
107
00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:45.920
brought a bunch of them over the United States started
108
00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:49.199
an intermin frog jumping contests. Now the African glias they
109
00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:52.079
jumped ten feet the American bullfrog. Looky if we got
110
00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:54.439
out thirty five feet? Yeah, I really pissed off the
111
00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:58.279
frog jumping contest organizers and Pacific participants. What are you
112
00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:01.319
gonna do now? The South African sharp nose frog. It
113
00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:03.199
is actually the frog that can jump the farthest. It
114
00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:06.199
can jump eleven feet. That little guy's only three inches long,
115
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:08.879
so that'd be like a human being jumping two hundred feet.
116
00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:12.600
In two thousand and five, a topical depression formed over
117
00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:16.439
the Bahamas. It will develop into Hurricane Katrina. Two thousand
118
00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:20.600
and seven, Christmasina, he invented the hashtag that half tag song.
119
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:22.279
He invented it to be able to be used on
120
00:06:22.360 --> 00:06:26.160
Twitter and other social media. It is literally technically called
121
00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:30.120
the octothorpe. In twenty seventeen, the driest place on Earth,
122
00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:32.560
that at a common desert over there in Chile got
123
00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:35.639
some unexpected rain the whole desert went into bloom. Say,
124
00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:38.319
now it rains there every five to seven years. Now
125
00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:40.480
this time it rained only after two years. So thank
126
00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:41.680
god for climate change.
127
00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:48.879
