00:00:19.399 --> 00:00:22.000
Hello, I am Jeff, and welcome to history. In fact,
2
00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:25.600
it's about today, Today's August the eighth.
3
00:00:24.839 --> 00:00:29.199
Plickleball, bickleball and dfting and fun.
4
00:00:29.320 --> 00:00:32.799
There's no joke blickleball and it's not just for old fun.
5
00:00:32.840 --> 00:00:35.159
So what exactly use this game? I claim this is
6
00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:38.320
so fun we'll pay attention because I'm gonna educate your son.
7
00:00:38.479 --> 00:00:41.320
It's like Chenni's Bad Misting and Thing Pong rolled into one.
8
00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:44.240
You can play two versus two or even one on one.
9
00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:47.159
The pedal can be made of woo composite material goals.
10
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:49.439
The ball is like a whiffled all the main differences
11
00:00:49.479 --> 00:00:49.960
the holes.
12
00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:52.920
Today is National Pickleball Day.
13
00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:53.520
Yeah.
14
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:56.679
I love promoting exercise on the show Pickleball. Though it
15
00:00:56.719 --> 00:00:59.439
seems like Americas have just gotten really lazy. So tennis
16
00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:01.920
is too much work, so let's play pickle ball and
17
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:05.120
you have to run half as much. But it is exercise,
18
00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:07.480
and I reluctantly have to admit that it is kind
19
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:10.879
of fun. So it was actually created in Washington State
20
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:13.239
in nineteen sixty five. I'm pretty sure it's a result
21
00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:15.879
of alcohol. Three buddies came back from playing golf and
22
00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:17.560
their families have been waiting for him, and they were
23
00:01:17.599 --> 00:01:20.319
really bored. So the three guys they tried to cover
24
00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:21.640
up for it, so they said, hey, we're gonna have
25
00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:24.359
a bad Mitton tournament. Oh. The only problem was they
26
00:01:24.359 --> 00:01:26.719
had a net, but they didn't have any rackets or shuttlecocks.
27
00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:30.560
So they improvised and they used whiffleballs and ping pong battles. Well,
28
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:33.599
pickleball was born. Yeah, I'm played yet. It's pretty easy
29
00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:36.159
to learn. So whether you're a beginner, a casual player,
30
00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:38.560
a pickle nerd Yeah, I just enjoyed some pickleball today.
31
00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:41.599

I'm playing hands on them. I never stooped some Loma cane.

But that was yesterday and the truth.

I won't fight it.
45
00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:26.319
When the love starts burn and you got to do
46
00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:32.800
what ry Ooh love love, you don't treat men no more.
47
00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:36.919
The number one book was The rim Brant Affair by
48
00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:40.479
Daniel Silva. Top movie was The Other Guys to New
49
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:42.680
York City Detectives. They want to be like the top
50
00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:46.240
detectives in the cities. Well it didn't work out that way. Sorry,
51
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:49.400
as will Pharaoh, Mark Wahlberg, Derek Jeter, Dwayne Johnson have
52
00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:52.039
have a Mendez. Yeah, hold love one all right? What
53
00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:55.199
happened on August the eighth now Mount Blanc It is
54
00:02:55.240 --> 00:02:58.879
fifteen seven and seventy feet high Tals mountain over in
55
00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:03.319
the Alps now at Straddles, France, Italy and Switzerland. In
56
00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:06.520
seventeen eighty six, in order to win a bet Jocks
57
00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:09.439
Belmont and Michael Piccard, they became the first as Summit
58
00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:12.759
mountain block. By doing so, they actually started mountaineering as
59
00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:13.360
we know it today.
60
00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:13.599
Yeah.
61
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:16.479
Before then, people they really didn't care about climbing mountains.
62
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:19.360
But when Balmont and Picard came back and started bragging
63
00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:22.439
about it, yeah, people were finally interested in it. It's okay.
64
00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:27.520
The bet in seventeen sixty, Horace Benedict de sur de Sisur. Well,
65
00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:30.919
say he was a geologist, a meteorologist, all kinds of ologists. Well,
66
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:33.479
he had been surveying the mountains out there. Now he's
67
00:03:33.479 --> 00:03:35.319
the one who actually confirmed that Mountain Block was the
68
00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:37.919
highest mountain in the Alps. Now he made a bet
69
00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:40.080
that no one would be able to climb that mountain. Well,
70
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:43.319
twenty six years later, of course those two guys summoned
71
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:46.319
the mountain. Well, they did colleck their prize for winning
72
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:48.360
the bet. Yeah, but nobody they weren't able to tell
73
00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:50.319
what the prize was. Yeah, that was part of the conditions.
74
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:52.639
Then the very next year, Horace he comes back in
75
00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:54.280
and say he is the route they did, and he
76
00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:58.639
climbed Mountain Blocked himself. Eighteen seventy six, Thomas had ascend.
77
00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:01.680
Now he received a patent for an electric pin. Yeah,
78
00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:04.000
he had invented it. Now, no one ever bought or
79
00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:06.319
used the electric pin. So he was invented to make
80
00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:09.000
multiple copies of paper. Seeing though they didn't have video,
81
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:12.360
you know, copy machines or anything. So he thought, well,
82
00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:14.159
if you have an electric pen and you can shoot
83
00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:15.800
the ink down into like three or four copies, you
84
00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:18.120
don't have to keep rewriting it. Well, no one used
85
00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:20.839
the d anything but a Polish immigrant. He was a
86
00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:23.639
tattoo artist. He saw one in a window, so he
87
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:26.600
went and bought it. He modified it. He revolutionized the
88
00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:29.959
tattoo industry. Yeah, the tattoo guns or pins that used today, yeah,
89
00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:33.000
they're all based on that first one. England, in nineteen
90
00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:36.040
sixty three, the Great Train Robbery took place a Grip
91
00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:40.399
of mask Man. They robbed a British mail train in Beckinghamshire. Well,
92
00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:43.560
they were able to steal two point six million pounds.
93
00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:46.759
It's like seven point three million dollars today, it'd be
94
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:49.240
seventy five million dollars now. At the time, it was
95
00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:54.079
the largest robbery in England's history to put up. Okay,
96
00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:56.040
so to pull it off, they had house some inside help.
97
00:04:56.399 --> 00:04:58.759
Once authority's figured out who the inside help was. Yeah,
98
00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:01.600
all the guys got caught. But all that money, yeah,
99
00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:03.639
it hadn't been found and all those guys are dead,
100
00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:06.759
so no one knows where that money is. Nineteen seventy five,
101
00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:10.120
the United States President Richard Nixon. He announced on live
102
00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:13.279
National TV that tomorrow at noon he would resign as
103
00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:15.360
president of the United States. I guess we'll have to

00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:19.399
