00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:22.000
Hi everybody, I am Jeff. Welcome to History and Factor.
2
00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:24.320
It's about today days August the twenty fourth.
3
00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:33.240
Yes, yes, delicious waffle. I like to pull maple syrup
4
00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:39.719
on my waffle. I like to pull me cream on
5
00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:46.960
my waffle. Yeah yeah, yeah, yummy, yumy waffle.
6
00:00:48.359 --> 00:00:51.240
Today is National Waffles Day. Waffles.
7
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:53.960
They've been around since the thirteen hundreds. That was today
8
00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:56.840
eighteen sixty nine when Carnesie has sport work and then
9
00:00:56.880 --> 00:00:59.320
at the waffle iron he was up in Troy, New York.
10
00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:01.679
Say that handling, you just put it over the open file.
11
00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:05.359
Then in nineteen eleven ge they started selling electric waffle irons.
12
00:01:05.799 --> 00:01:08.680
Nineteen fifty three, Freak Dorsa, he changed everything. He came
13
00:01:08.719 --> 00:01:11.560
out with frozen waffles, called them the eggos. Now, the
14
00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:14.840
difference between waffle batter and pancake battery is waffle batter
15
00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:17.680
has a little more fat in it. Biggest deal today's
16
00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:19.840
that's going on to a place called waffle house. For
17
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:21.120
some reason, they're going all out.
18
00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:23.480
Now you just failed the fight. Waffle deal's pretty much
19
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:24.560
wherever you have for breakfast today.
20
00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:28.000
Okay, let's see what was going on in entertainment on
21
00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:31.120
August twenty fourth back in nineteen ninety five. Number one
22
00:01:31.159 --> 00:01:33.799
album was E nineteen ninety nine E Turno by Bone
23
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:37.680
Thugs and Harmony. TLC had the number one song with Waterfalls.
24
00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:54.120
Walls a Thank You.
25
00:01:57.680 --> 00:01:59.760
Brooks and Don had the number one country song with
26
00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:01.599
You're Gonna miss Me when I'm Gone.
27
00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:12.199
Pivooshound love You, but I'm tired old and all.
28
00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:21.879
You better kiss me, you Gonna miss Me and.
29
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:27.560
The only hit they had with Brooks singing normally it
30
00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:31.000
was done. Top book was from Pottersfield by Patricia Cornwell.
31
00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:34.159
The top movie was Mortal Kombat Earthlings. They had to
32
00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:37.120
fight at the martial arts battle against another dimension. Now,
33
00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:40.400
if they lose, they're gonna all be enslaved. Stars Christopher Lambert,
34
00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:44.879
Robin Show and Landon Ashby. All right, let's se what
35
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:47.719
happened on August the twenty fourth. Now, I was all
36
00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:49.879
prepared to tell you all about the year seventy nine
37
00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:52.599
see mal Vesuvius erupted at bird in the city of
38
00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:53.439
Pompey and.
39
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:54.319
Three other cities.
40
00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:57.400
But in twenty eighteen, Yeah, they changed the date of
41
00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:00.479
the araption and they said you have to pay attentions
42
00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:03.879
not to October seventeenth, though England is seventeen fifty one.
43
00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:06.759
Thomas Coley he had drowned a woman he suspected to
44
00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:09.280
being a witch. See at that time, if a woman
45
00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:11.280
was suspected to be in a witch, Yeah, they would
46
00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:12.680
tie up her hands and her feet and throw in
47
00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:15.039
a lake. If she drowned, well that proved she wasn't
48
00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:16.879
a witch. But if she lived, uh huh, and then
49
00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:19.240
she was a witch. Well the woman that Thomas threw
50
00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:21.719
in the lake, she drowned, saw that proved she wasn't
51
00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:24.280
a witch. Well, since she wasn't a witch, Thomas, he
52
00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:27.319
was executed for murder. Yeah, that's stopped testing Wischtons that way.
53
00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:30.879
Eighteen fourteen, during the War of eighteen twelve, the British
54
00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:33.680
Dey attacked Washington, d C set fired, a whole bunch
55
00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:35.960
of buildings went in the White House. At that time
56
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:38.280
it was actually called the President's House. Now, pretty much
57
00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:40.599
all the politicians they'd fled Washington to sea before the
58
00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:42.639
British got there, not first Lady.
59
00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:44.879
Dolly Madison, no pern or slaves. They stayed back.
60
00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:46.879
Now they actually fought that fire at the White House.
61
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:48.879
They tried to save as many valuables as they could,
62
00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:52.080
saved to portrait of George Washington. Yeah, it still hangs
63
00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:55.360
in the White House today. Eighteen fifty three, at Moore's
64
00:03:55.439 --> 00:03:58.680
Lake House outside of Saratoga, New York, chef George Crumb
65
00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:01.879
he invented potato chips. See what happened is this customer
66
00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:05.319
complaining that sent back his potatoes. Well, that really pissed
67
00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:08.360
off Chef Crumb. So just out of spite, he sliced
68
00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:10.520
the potatoes really thin, and then he fried it, and
69
00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:11.759
then he salted the hell out of.
70
00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:12.879
It sent it back out.
71
00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:16.319
Yeah, I'm just thing. The customer just absolutely loved it. Well,
72
00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:18.480
then all the other diners they were really intrigued by it,
73
00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:21.480
and they all wanted to try it. So nowadays, the
74
00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:24.439
American person, on average, he's six point six pounds potato
75
00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:26.959
chips every year. Potato chips are the worst thing you
76
00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:30.560
can eat too. Now, I don't know why today is
77
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:33.439
a National potato chip Day, but it's not Nashal potato
78
00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:33.920
chip Days.
79
00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:34.680
Not till March.
80
00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:38.959
Eighteen fifty eight, the headline of a Richmond, Virginia newspaper
81
00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:41.920
it read ninety blacks rested for learning. Now the white
82
00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:43.759
people were teaching them. They all got run out of town.
83
00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:45.839
Baseball.
84
00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:49.720
In nineteen nineteen, Cleveland Indians pitcher Ray Cartwell, he was
85
00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:51.439
on the mound. He had two outs in the bottom
86
00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:52.920
of the ninth. Then he went boom. He was struck
87
00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:56.279
by both the lightning. Well, he got up, brushed himself off,
88
00:04:56.360 --> 00:04:58.839
got that last out and the Yeah, the Indians beat
89
00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:02.199
the Philadelphia As two to one. Nineteen forty nine, NATO,
90
00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:05.480
the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, it was formed. There are
91
00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:09.319
twelve countries that started. Now there's thirty two. Nineteen ninety
92
00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:12.480
one Ukraine they declared their independence from the Soviet Union.
93
00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:15.279
That's worked out well. In twenty twelve out.
94
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:18.480
There in California, a jury found that Samsung they had
95
00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:22.360
interfered with Apple's phone pattern, so they ordered Samsung to
96
00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:25.879
pay Apple one billion dollars. Same day, over in South Korea,
97
00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:28.839
our court rolled that Samson and Apple had infringedment in
98
00:05:28.920 --> 00:05:32.560
South Korean phone company. Samson and Apple, they just laughed
99
00:05:32.600 --> 00:05:40.079
and laughed. Coke Cojked Doake shot this Shivers Day.
100
00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:41.199
We're gonna pause.
101
00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:42.720
He left this shuverday.
102
00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:45.399
We don't simple target this Shivers Day.
103
00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:49.480
And you know we don't give up. Wellt's check out
104
00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:51.160
A born on August the twenty fourth.
105
00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:56.079
Oh well, now that's all right, No mama, that's all
106
00:05:56.240 --> 00:06:01.600
right for you. That's all right, No mama, anyway you do.
107
00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:12.000
That's all right, that's all right, that's all run may you.
108
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:16.519
That was our third big boy credit. He was born
109
00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:19.680
in Forest, Mississippi, in nineteen oh five. Now a lot
110
00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:22.439
a lot of his songs were recorded that he recorded
111
00:06:22.680 --> 00:06:25.360
were re recorded by white artists and became really big hits.
112
00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:27.959
Now he didn't receive any royalties for it, so he
113
00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:30.240
really started getting pissed and mad, and then he was
114
00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:32.000
set up that everybody was making money off of the
115
00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:34.399
songs but him. Finally, he just quit music in the
116
00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:36.319
nineteen fifties. You have to want nothing to do with
117
00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:38.480
it now. Elvis, he'd actually called him the father of
118
00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:40.600
rock and roll, and that name kind of stuck. Elvis
119
00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:42.759
actually recorded three of the songs no credit. Didn't even
120
00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:44.800
get him money for those. See, he had signed a
121
00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:47.480
really bad deal with the record company. They got all
122
00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:50.800
the money. So in nineteen seventy legal issues were settled
123
00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:52.879
and he started receiving royalties. So he went back to
124
00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:56.040
singing and performing four years later, in nineteen seventy four,
125
00:06:56.079 --> 00:06:58.879
he's on tour with Bonnie Rate. He died sixty eight
126
00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:01.759
years old. Heart is hease in diabetes. Now the Rock

There were Time Bandits, Willow the Elephant Man. Labyrith had
137
00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:29.879
married nineteen seventy. His wife died in nineteen ninety three.
138
00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:32.240

171
00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:44.200
the office. Stays two times divorced. Say she was born
172
00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:47.600

00:09:53.799 --> 00:09:57.240
the band Confunction. It was a funk band. Then she
176
00:09:57.320 --> 00:09:59.639
got pregnant and had a daughter. So she was working
177
00:09:59.679 --> 00:10:01.320
in a real the state office. When this guy found
178
00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:03.240
one of her demo tapes. Well, she didn't need to
179
00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:04.480
work in the real estate anymore.
180
00:10:04.840 --> 00:10:05.000

185
00:10:17.320 --> 00:10:19.360
You can see all her stuff now. That first daughter
186
00:10:19.480 --> 00:10:20.799
was from her one year marriage, and she had a
187
00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:23.120

194
00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:39.000

00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:41.600
