The number one book was Hawaii by James Mitchener. Top

34
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:33.680
movie with Psycho, a woman on the run for embezzlements

35
00:02:33.719 --> 00:02:35.879
hides at a hotel run by a weird guy in

36
00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:40.840
his overbearing mum. Stars Anthony Perkins, Ganetly and Verim Miles. Okay,

37
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:43.319
what happened on August the twenty fourth, Now we were

38
00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:45.599
all prepared to tell you about the year seventy nine.

39
00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:49.199
That's when Mount VESUVIUSI repted, burying the city of Pompey

40
00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:51.919
and three other towns. But in twenty eighteen they changed

41
00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:54.400
the date that it happened October seventeenth, So you're gonna

42
00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:58.120
have to wait. In England is seventeen fifty one Thomas Coley.

43
00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:00.879
He had drowned a woman he suspect to being a witch.

44
00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:04.120
See back then, they supected a woman of being a witch.

45
00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:05.919
They tied her hands and her feet and then threw

46
00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:08.240
in her lake. Now, if she drowned, yeah, I proved

47
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:09.960
that she wasn't a witch. But if she lived, that

48
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:13.159
proved that she was a witch. So the woman that

49
00:03:13.240 --> 00:03:15.520
he threw in the lake, yeah she drowned, It proved

50
00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:18.199
that she wasn't a witch. So they executed him for murder.

51
00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:22.199
No one tried to test witches that way again. Eighteen fourteen,

52
00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:25.039
in the War of eighteen twelve, the British they attacked Washington,

53
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:27.639
d C. Set fired a whole bunch of buildings, including

54
00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:29.240
the White House. Well at the time it was called

55
00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:31.800
the President's House, not the White House. But most of

56
00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:35.240
the politicians had fled Washington, d C. But first Lady

57
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:37.680
Dolly Madison and her slaves, who were working at the

58
00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:39.360
White House. Yeah, they all stayed behind and tried to

59
00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:42.000
save as many valuables as they could. Yeah, they were.

60
00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:43.919
One of the valuables, they said, was a portrait of

61
00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:46.680
George Washington and still hangs in the White House today.

62
00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:51.800
Eighteen fifty three, at Moon's Lake House. At Moon's Lake

63
00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:56.120
House outside of Saratoga, New York, chef George Crumb invented

64
00:03:56.120 --> 00:04:01.400
the potato chip. Who see had customer complain back as potatoes. Well,

65
00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:04.120
that pissed off Chef Crumb, so out of spite he

66
00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:07.000
sliced the potatoes really thin, fried and salted the hell

67
00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:09.400
out and the sent him back out. Damned this thing.

68
00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:11.879
That dude just loved those things. The other diners, they

69
00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:14.039
were really intrigued by it, and so they all wanted

70
00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:17.519
to try him. Now, the Americans eat one point eight

71
00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:20.399
five billion pounds of potato chips every year. Yeah, it

72
00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:22.480
comes out to about six point six pounds per person.

73
00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:26.519
Eighteen fifty eight, the headline of the Richmond, Virginia newspaper,

74
00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:31.160
The Dailies Dispatch read ninety blacks arrested for learning. Nineteen

75
00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:34.199
forty nine. NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty organization. It began

76
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:36.439

00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:39.959
thirty two, nineteen ninety one in the Ukraine they declared

78
00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:43.160
their independence from the Soviet Union. And in twenty twelve,

79
00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:46.839
a jury out there in California, it sounds, found Samsung. Yeah,

80
00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:50.319
they were guilty for infringing on Apple's phone patent. They

81
00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:53.279
awarded that Samsung had to pay Apple one billion dollars.

82
00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:55.920
On that exact same day. Over in South Korea, a

83
00:04:56.040 --> 00:04:58.639
court over there ruled that both Samsung and Apple had

84
00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:01.759
infringed on the patent of a South in phonemaker Damson

85
00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:03.480
and Apple. They just laughed and laughed.

86
00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:08.600
Go go go, go, go goat Shaw.

87
00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:10.279

90
00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:18.240
don't get up because that's a birthday.

91
00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:20.920
Okay, let's check out. It was born on August the

92
00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:21.600
twenty fourth.

93
00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:26.560
Well now that's all right, No, mama, that's all right

94
00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:31.759
for you, that's all right, No, mama, anyway you do.

95
00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:38.639
But that's all right, that's all right. That's all right now,

96
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:42.480
mamayway you do.

97
00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:46.639
That was Arthur big boy cred Up. He was born

98
00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:50.240
in Forest, Mississippi, in nineteen oh five. So many songs

99
00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:53.199
that he had recorded were actually re recorded by white

100
00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:55.920
artists and made anty huge hits. Arthur he didn't get

101
00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:57.839
any of the royalties from any of that, so he

102
00:05:57.959 --> 00:06:00.120
finally got fed up with everybody making money off of

103
00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:02.000
his songs but him, so in the nineteen fifties he

104
00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:04.920
just quit music. No more singing, no more recording nothing.

105
00:06:05.399 --> 00:06:07.240
Elvis called him the father of rock and roll, and

106
00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:09.560
that name actually stuck. But Elvis did record three of

107
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:13.279
his songs. Then in nineteen seventy, after legal issues were settled,

108
00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:16.240
Arthur began to receive royalties again, so I went back

109
00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:19.160
to singing. Four years later, in nineteen seventy four, he

110
00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:21.480
was on tour with Bonnie Rait and he died sixty

111
00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:24.360

113
00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:28.560
