00:00:18.920 --> 00:00:21.559
Hi, I'm Jeff and welcome to History and Factor. It's
2
00:00:21.559 --> 00:00:23.559
about today, today's August the twenty third.
3
00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:25.800
Give me a Cuban sandwich.
4
00:00:28.239 --> 00:00:31.160
It's got a two castle pick meat, I am and
5
00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:34.719
nose sports a slice of wine cheese in the shop.
6
00:00:36.119 --> 00:00:40.399
So it's on a pickle pickley for say el Comano.
7
00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:43.039
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 in 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
to Tampa, Florida. A couple of restaurants put it on
21
00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:21.959
their menus there and then they exploded 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
00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:29.000
But you can make them yourself. It's not that like
25
00:01:29.040 --> 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 sanmwich, yeah, I just order a sandwich.
27
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:35.400
They'll know what you want. So what was going on
28
00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:38.200

Everybody had the bargain.

they get together to save the universe. Ryan Reynolds, he's
53
00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:52.240
dead Pull and Hugh Jackman he's Wolverine. All right, what
54
00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:55.599
happened on August twenty third? You're fifteen hundred Francisco D.
55
00:02:55.719 --> 00:02:56.280
Babbadilla.
56
00:02:56.719 --> 00:02:59.800
That's pretty fun to say, Babbadiya. You're right to take
57
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:02.080
overhere as the governor of the West Indies Islands in
58
00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:04.479
the Caribbean. First order of business, Well, he had to
59
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:07.000
arrest the current governor, that's Christopher Columbus.
60
00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:07.840
Well he did.
61
00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:10.000
He put Columbus in chains and send him back to Spain.
62
00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:12.919
The myth is that Columbus he was being punished for
63
00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:15.800
how badly he treated the natives. No, Spain didn't care
64
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:18.599
about that. Yeah the natives, yeah whatever. What he was
65
00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:20.479
actually being punished for was the way he actually treated
66
00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:23.280
the Spanish sellers. So when he got back to Spain Columbus,
67
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:25.800
he did spend a couple months in jail, in prison
68
00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:27.599
that but then the king just let him go. He
69
00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:30.199
really didn't care what was going on over there. Seventeen
70
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:32.520
eighty four are the people of East Tennessee. They declared
71
00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:36.120
their independence, yet they seceded from Tennessee. They didn't want
72
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:39.120
anything to do with them West Tennessee's They called themselves
73
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:42.680
the state of Franklin. Yeah, they named themselves after Benjamin Franklin.
74
00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:45.080
Now it took a year, but the US Congress finally
75
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:47.800
stepped in and said no. But you know what on
76
00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:50.080
all the kids who were born in that year, all
77
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:54.840
their birth certificates read for state, Yeah, Franklin. Nineteen oh four,
78
00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:57.919
New York's Harry Weed. He invented the tire chain. You
79
00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:01.360
know that chain that he put on your card when
80
00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:04.680
it snows. Yeah, somebody had we'll see. He saw drivers
81
00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:07.039
with rope around their tires were added grip. He figured,
82
00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:09.919
you know how the chain would work better. Nineteen forty three,
83
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:12.280
in World War Two, the largest tank battle in history,
84
00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:14.919
and it's called the Battle of Kersk who was fought
85
00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:18.199
in the Soviet Union lasted fifty days. Now, the Soviets
86
00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:20.040
and Germans they went at it, and the Soviets did
87
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:22.600
win that battle, but it was pretty much from attrition.
88
00:04:22.759 --> 00:04:25.000
They had just so many more men in tanks than
89
00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:28.560
the Germans did. Germany they lost one thousand tanks. Soviet
90
00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:31.519
Union they lost six thousand tanks. Soviets lost seven hundred
91
00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:34.480
thousand men. Germany lost two hundred thousand men. But that
92
00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:37.319
Soviet victory was huge. It kept Germany from advancing into
93
00:04:37.319 --> 00:04:40.399
the Soviet Union. Yeah, in Germany they never really did
94
00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:42.720
recover from it too. They just had too many losses
95
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:44.920
is basically what turned the war on the Eastern Front.
96
00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:47.040
Nineteen fifty two, Kinny.
97
00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:49.279
Well, she became the first woman to have a number
98
00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:51.480
one song on the Country and Western Music chart.
99
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:52.360
Tass.
100
00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:59.639
Words, Your Say It brings Me.
101
00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:02.439
Trust.
102
00:05:05.399 --> 00:05:08.759
It wasn't God made all.
103
00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:16.519
Talk, dude, Yep, if God wanted, if God wasn't, It
104
00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:19.480
wasn't God that made honky tonk Angels, That's what. It
105
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:22.000
wasn't God that made honky tonk Ages. Stayed number one
106
00:05:22.040 --> 00:05:24.240
for fifteen weeks on the country. Churt actually crossed over
107
00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:27.160
and pretty good on the pop dirt too Africa. In
108
00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:30.800
nineteen sixty in Equatorial Guinea, they caught the largest frog
109
00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:33.040
ever was twelve and a half inches long away seven
110
00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:36.040
point three pounds. Then they found out that there wasn't
111
00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:38.120
to only one, there were the whole species of frogs
112
00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:41.279
just like it, so they named them the African goliath bullfrogs.
113
00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:43.680
Then in the nineteen eighties, this dude, he brought a
114
00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:45.920
bunch of them over the United States started an intermin
115
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:49.319
frog jumping contests. Now the African glias they jumped ten
116
00:05:49.319 --> 00:05:52.079
feet the American bullfrog. Looky if we got out thirty
117
00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:54.720
five feet? Yeah, I really pissed off the frog jumping
118
00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:57.360
contest organizers and Pacific participants.
119
00:05:57.560 --> 00:05:58.319
What are you gonna do?
120
00:05:58.959 --> 00:05:59.160
Now?
121
00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:01.480
The South Africa and sharp nose frog. It is actually
122
00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:03.279
the frog that can jump the farthest. It can jump
123
00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:06.240
eleven feet. That little guy's only three inches long, so
124
00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:08.480
that'd be like a human being jumping two hundred feet.
125
00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:12.199
In two thousand and five, a topical depression formed over
126
00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:16.040
the Bahamas. It will develop into Hurricane Katrina. Two thousand
127
00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:20.199
and seven, Christmasina he invented the hashtag that half tag song.
128
00:06:20.399 --> 00:06:21.879
He invented it to be able to be used on
129
00:06:21.959 --> 00:06:25.759
Twitter and other social media. It is literally technically called
130
00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:29.720
the Octothorpe. In twenty seventeen, the driest place on Earth
131
00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:32.160
that at a common desert over there in Chile got
132
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:35.279
some unexpected rain. The whole desert went into bloom. Say,
133
00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:37.920
now it rains there every five to seven years. Now
134
00:06:37.959 --> 00:06:40.079
this time it rained only after two years. So thank
135
00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:41.279
God for climate change.

152
00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:42.680
They did make the musical La La Land that was
153
00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:43.839
all based on Gene Kelly.
154
00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:45.600

Everything's gotta stop while they have that cigarette. Smoke smoke,

a background instrument.
212
00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:41.799

213
00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:43.720
He wanted people to watch him drum, so he did
