Some nice rais and so the trail.

5
00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:40.240
Today is National Trail Mix Day. Oh, come on. Trail

6
00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:42.600
mix is great. It's a whole bunch of things you

7
00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:45.640
won't eat by them Selsia put them all together. They

8
00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:49.240
are nutritious, lightweight, easy to star jay, great for an

9
00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:51.520
energy boost. That's why they're perfect to take on a hike.

10
00:00:51.799 --> 00:00:54.479
Been around since cave man days. Okay Man probably didn't

11
00:00:54.479 --> 00:00:57.119
put in Eminem's in theirs, but trail meggs. It works

12
00:00:57.119 --> 00:00:58.640
great when you're sitting at your desk and you know

13
00:00:58.679 --> 00:01:02.359
the little afternoon energy me up. The basic trail mix

14
00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:06.280
is granola nuts, dried fruit, raisins, and sometimes chocolate. So

15
00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:08.760
I used today as an excuse to go for a hiker,

16
00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:11.200
an extra long walk and just enjoy that trail mix.

17
00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:12.120
All right?

18
00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:14.680
What happened in entertainment on August thirty. First, let's go

19
00:01:14.719 --> 00:01:17.439
back to your nineteen sixty one number one album was

20
00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:20.319
Something for Everyone by Elvis Presley. Joe dal had the

21
00:01:20.359 --> 00:01:21.959
number one song with Wooden Art.

22
00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:26.280
Can't You see I love you, Please don't break my

23
00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:31.480
heart into That's not hard to do because I don't

24
00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:39.319
have a wood and hard and then you say goodbye, then.

25
00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:41.000
I know that I would cry.

26
00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:45.400
George Jones he had the NUMBERONK Country song with Tender Years.

27
00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:49.760
I love you, But in time you.

28
00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:58.680
Understand when you shed a tune, then you know you

29
00:01:58.760 --> 00:01:59.439
were loving.

30
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:03.159
Then you tender.

31
00:02:06.519 --> 00:02:09.599
Third number one book was The Agony and the Ecstasy

32
00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:13.280
by Irving Stone. Top movie was The Parent Trap teenage

33
00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:15.800
twin sisters. They switched places to try and get their

34
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:19.840
divorced parents back together. Starred Hayley Mills, Marine O'Hara, and

35
00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:23.840
Brian Keith. All Right, what happened in August thirty first,

36
00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:26.759
seventeen ninety eight, the first bank grabgree in the United

37
00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:29.759
States occurred. Is that the Bank of Philadelphia one hundred

38
00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:32.840
and sixty eight and twenty one dollars are taken. Now

39
00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:36.159
that'd be about four million today. A locksmith, Isaac Davis,

40
00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:38.800
he had been hired to change all the locks in

41
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:40.759
the banks, and he did, but he also made a

42
00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:44.120
key for himself. Now, he had a very good reputation,

43
00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:47.439
so nobody suspected him well at first, Then They got

44
00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:49.759
a little suspicious when they noticed he was depositing that

45
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:52.599
stolen money back into the bank. Yeah, I busted him

46
00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:55.080
red handed. We gave all the money back, so they

47
00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:56.919
pardoned him, and yeah, he never served any time. In

48
00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:00.400
Joie eighteen eighty eight, the body of Jack the Ripper's

49
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:03.159
versus victim was found in London's East End. She was

50
00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:05.879
Mary Anne Nichols, a forty three year old prostitute. Her

51
00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:08.199
body was the least mutilated of all his victims. Each

52
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:10.960
victim's body was more mutilated than the one before. It

53
00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:14.479
killed five women total. He got the name Jack Thripper

54
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:17.120
because someone sent a letter to the newspaper claiming to

55
00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:19.479
be the killer and signed it Jack the Ripper. Oh,

56
00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:22.400
the newspaper ran the star and the name stuck. Now

57
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:24.879
it's believed that the letter I wasn't from the real killer.

58
00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:28.800
Pretty much a hoax. Now, I'm sure pretty much all

59
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:30.639
of you have seen pictures of women in the late

60
00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:33.360
eighteen hundreds, early nineteen hundreds, how they dressed in those

61
00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:36.840
great big dresses and skirts and all that kind of stuff. Well, today,

62
00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:40.360
in nineteen oh two, missus Adolf Landberg, she was an

63
00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:43.120
avid horseback rider. She had had enough of those big

64
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:45.599
as dresses. Nope, she couldn't take it no more. So

65
00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:47.439
she is considered the first woman in history to wear

66
00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:49.879
a split skirt. Now, she was not trying to make

67
00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:51.759
any kind of statement or anything. She just wanted to

68
00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:55.759
be comfortable. Nineteen eleven, the Sulvan Act went into effect

69
00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:58.199
in New York City. Now, it was New York's first

70
00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:00.840
gun control law. It required that they all had to

71
00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:03.280
have a license for firearms, and they had to have

72
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:06.719
licenses for concealed hearer. But it was actually really a

73
00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:09.199
lot more strict than that. Now you have to fast

74
00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:11.400
forward one hundred and eleven years to twenty twenty two.

75
00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:14.199
The United States Supreme Court, they overruled that Sulo of

76
00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:18.399
An Act, said it was unconstitutional. Just general gun legislation

77
00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:21.160
would have been sufficient. This was way overstepping the bounds

78
00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:24.040
of the legal rights of all their citizens. Back in

79
00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:26.720
the day, it was common believe throughout the mining industry,

80
00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:29.920
the miners worldwide all pretty much agreed on it. They

81
00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:32.360
thought that a miner, a coal miner, he could with

82
00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:34.879
a jackammer, he could actually mine five tons of coal

83
00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:38.160
a day. Well, in nineteen thirty five, a Russian miner

84
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:40.920
a Lexki is stacking off. He was able to mine

85
00:04:40.920 --> 00:04:43.000
one hundred and two tons of coal with the jackammer

86
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:46.600
in one day. Now, of course all the miners called

87
00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:49.519
both bs no, no, no. They just thought it was

88
00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:51.480
a Communist plot to try and get the Soviets to

89
00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:54.759
get their miners to increase their daily production. But to

90
00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:56.600
this day no one is able to have been to

91
00:04:56.639 --> 00:04:59.319
disprove it. So Lesky's still the man. His record still

92
00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:03.000
stands now. One of the greatest days in cinematic history

93
00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:06.839
occurred in nineteen forty six the movie Walkie Talkie Hockey premiered.

94
00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:12.600
It was the movie debut for Shakespearean actor frog Gorn Leghorn. Yeah,

95
00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:14.800
sometimes I just like to see how much people are

96
00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:17.319
actually paying attention. I would like to see frog Horn

97
00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:19.839
Leanghorn do Hamlet, though. Can you imagine him giving the

98
00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:21.879
speech to be or not to be? Now that I

99
00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:24.000
think about, what's even funnier is that a lot of

100
00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:26.240
you probably don't even know who frog Horn, Leghorn, Hamlet

101
00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:29.839
or Shakespeare are. In nineteen fifty five, in Chicago, the

102
00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:33.360
first solar solar powered automobile was demonstrated. That was a

103
00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:35.560
really short demonstration they got cloudy.

104
00:05:35.879 --> 00:05:42.040
Coke, got coke, coke cot goat show this shiverf Day,

105
00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:43.120

106
00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:45.800
He left this shiver Day. We don't simple targe.

107
00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:48.480
He's like this shibirf Day and you know we don't

108
00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:50.000
give up because that birthday.

109
00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:52.800
Well, let's just see. Who was born on August the

110
00:05:52.839 --> 00:05:56.519
thirty first Comedian Actor Buddy Hackett. He was one of Brooklyn,

111
00:05:56.519 --> 00:05:58.959
New York in nineteen twenty four. One of the funniest

112
00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:02.000
stand up comedians in history. Now today, no one would

113
00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:04.160
even think twice about his act. But when he started,

114
00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:06.959
and he was thought to be extremely raw, crude, and vulgar.

115
00:06:07.560 --> 00:06:09.279
Some of the movies he was in Where It's a

116
00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:12.879
