00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:12.919
Hello, I am Jeff, and welcome to History and Factor.

2
00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:15.279
It's about today, presented by Cool Media. It is August

3
00:00:15.359 --> 00:00:16.239
the eighth.

4
00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:22.640
Clickleball pickleball a dting in fun. There's no joke clickleball

5
00:00:22.679 --> 00:00:26.000
and it's not just old. So what exactly use this game?

6
00:00:26.039 --> 00:00:28.440
I claim this is so fun we'll pay attention because

7
00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:31.559
I'm gonna educate your son. It's like Chinni's bad admitting

8
00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:33.799
the thing pun rolled into one. You can play two

9
00:00:33.880 --> 00:00:36.799
versus two or even one on one. The pedal can

10
00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:39.479
be made of too composite material goals. The ball is

11
00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:41.560
like a whiffle ball. The difference is the holes.

12
00:00:42.359 --> 00:00:45.320
It is national pickleball day to day, and yes, we

13
00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:48.719
like to encourage exercise. The pickupball kinds of seems like

14
00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:51.560
a proof that Americans have gotten really lazy. I mean,

15
00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:53.960
tennis guard is too much work. So pickleball, where you

16
00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:56.399
have to run half as much, that's getting becoming popular.

17
00:00:56.840 --> 00:00:59.719
But it is exercise and I reluctantly have to admit

18
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:01.920
that it kind of fun now. It was created in

19
00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:04.680
Washington State in nineteen sixty five, and I'm pretty sure

20
00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:07.200
it was result of alcohol. Three guys came back from

21
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:09.400
playing golf and their families have been waiting for him,

22
00:01:09.400 --> 00:01:11.760
and they were really bored. So the guys tried to

23
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:14.040
make it up to everybody by having fun. They suggested

24
00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:17.120
a really fun game of badminton. Problem was they had

25
00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:19.000
a net, but they didn't have any paddles or a

26
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:21.879
shuttle cocker not so they improvised. They used a wolf

27
00:01:21.879 --> 00:01:25.000
of ball and ping pond paddles, boom picklebar with pickleball

28
00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:27.400
I was born. Now, if you haven't played before, it's

29
00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:30.400
pretty easy to learn. So whether you're a beginner, casual

30
00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:33.000
player or pickle nerd, just have fun playing some pickleball,

31
00:01:33.719 --> 00:01:36.159

That's when all the conditions are rid.

42
00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:20.360
A good time.

43
00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:27.599

00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:39.199
Movie it was The Dark Knight. Now when the Joker

00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:46.360
Stars Christian Bale, Heath Ledger and Aaron Eckhart. Right, what

50
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:50.240
happened on August? The eighth Mountain Blank. It is fifteen

51
00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:53.000
thousand seven and seventy feet high. It is the tallest

52
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:56.000
mountain in the Alps. It straddles France, Italy and Switzerland.

53
00:02:56.479 --> 00:02:58.879
Back in seventeen eighty six, in order to win a bet,

54
00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:02.319
Jax Beaumont and Michael Picard became the first to summon it.

55
00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:04.879
Now they actually by doing that, they actually kicked off

56
00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:07.120
mountaineering as we know it. Yeah, before them, it really

57
00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:09.759
wasn't a desire for people to climb mountains. But when

58
00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:11.919
Balmont and McCard got back and bragged about what they

59
00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:15.439
had done, yeah, kicked off the mountaineering craze. Now, the

60
00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:19.280
bet Back in seventeen sixty, this guy, Horace Benedicte Decasse Hewer.

61
00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:22.360
He was a scientist who had been out there surveying

62
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:24.159
the mountains, and he's the one who confirmed that Mountain

63
00:03:24.199 --> 00:03:26.639
Blanc was the highest mountain in the Oups. He made

64
00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:28.120
a bet that no one could climb it.

65
00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:28.599
Wow.

66
00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:30.840
Twenty six late years later, yep, that's when the guy

67
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:33.759
summoned a mounta bunk. Now they did collect the prize

68
00:03:33.800 --> 00:03:36.560
on their bet, but neither them nor the other guy

69
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:38.560
who made the bet. No one ever said what they

70
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:41.960
got for it. But get this horace Benedict de Saser.

71
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:45.039
The next year he used their trail the climb it himself.

72
00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:49.280
Eighteen forty four, after the death of Joseph Smith Brigham Young,

73
00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:51.960
he was chose that leader for Church of Jesus Christ

74
00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:54.360
of Latter Day Since. Yep, he's the one who famously

75
00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:58.080
moved them all to Utah. Eighteen seventy six, Thomas Edison

76
00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:00.840
got a patent for his electric pen that he had. Now,

77
00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:03.360
no one really ever bought the thing or used it. See,

78
00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:06.280
it was invented to be used to make copies of paper. Yeah,

79
00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:11.199
no one did it. But a Polish immigrant tattoo artist

80
00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:14.520
he saw it. He modified it. He revolutionized the tattoo industry.

81
00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:17.160
All tattooed pins or guns or whatever they're called that

82
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:19.680
are used today. Yeah, they're all based on that same principle.

83
00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:23.480
Nineteen sixty three, in England, the Great Train Robbery took place.

84
00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:26.079
A group of mask men robbed a British mail train

85
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:29.079
in Buckinghamshire. They were able to steal two point six

86
00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:32.720
million pounds. That was seven point three million US dollars today,

87
00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:35.279
it'd be seventy five million dollars. At the time, it

88
00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:38.360
was the largest robbery in English history. Now in order

89
00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:39.759
to pull it off, yeah, they did have to have

90
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:41.600
some inside out, but then most of the guys they

91
00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:44.120
all got cut, but they still haven't got most of

92
00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:47.920
that money. Nineteen seventy four are United States President Richard

93
00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:50.879
Nixon announced on live Nationwide TV that at noon tomorrow

94
00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:54.399
he'd be resigning as President of the United States. Nineteen

95
00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:56.720
eighty eight. Kind of a cute date. It was eight

96
00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:59.120

97
00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:00.920

Sync when they started in nineteen ninety five. So they

195
00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:27.600
broke up in two thousand and two. But they're supposed

196
00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:29.519
to be back together right now. But I think it's

197
00:11:29.559 --> 00:11:31.759
all up to Justin, so we'll see. They did sell

198
00:11:31.799 --> 00:11:34.879
over seventy million records, but yeah, once Justin left, they

199
00:11:34.879 --> 00:11:36.919
were done. I think he controls where they get back together.

200
00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:38.679
But jay C's he's done pretty good. He's done a

201
