Today is National Hard Candy Day. Most hard candies there

7
00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:47.640
are beer sugar. Now they add the colors and different

8
00:00:47.679 --> 00:00:50.399
flavors and later on about to make hard candy, you

9
00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:53.399
boil sugar syrup up to three and twenty degrees. Then

10
00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:56.119
it becomes pliable so you can roll it or put

11
00:00:56.119 --> 00:00:57.840
it into molds or shape it out if you want.

12
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:00.520
After it cools down, you have your heart candy. The

13
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:03.079
first art candies were peppermints and lemon drops. They were

14
00:01:03.119 --> 00:01:07.079
created for medicinal purposes back in ancient Egypt. Our candy.

00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:53.000
Our song is a slave of stream war, singing out

26
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:56.760
tapping on your window when we're on the phone and

27
00:01:56.920 --> 00:01:59.879

The number one book was Teas for Trespassed by Sude Grafton.

30
00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:14.800
Top movie was National Treasure Book of Secrets Nicholas Cage.

31
00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:17.879
He follows clues left in John Wilkes Booth diary proved

32
00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:21.719
that Woo Booth. Yeah, he didn't assassinate Lincoln imposedly, all right,

33
00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:24.280
what happened on December the nineteenth Let's start off in

34
00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:27.960
fourteen eighty seven and what today is Mexico City. The Aztecs,

35
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:31.639
they held their grand opening ceremony for their sixth Great Temple,

36
00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:35.039
tinem Chichenlun. Now the soldiers they dressed as eagles and

37
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:37.879
stood all along the steps up the great pyramid, prisoner

38
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:40.360
for war. They were taking up the steps to the top.

39
00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:43.680
Then high priests they used ceremonial knives to slice open

40
00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:45.840
their chests and pull out their still beating hearts hip.

41
00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:48.840
Then they kicked their lifeless bodies off the pyramid. Now,

42
00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:51.639
the steps they ended up turning into a river of blood. See,

43
00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:54.120
they did that for four days, and they actually sacrificed

44
00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:58.080
or killed over four thousand prisoners of war. They were

45
00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:01.280
trying to appease the Aztec gods. Now today you can

46
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:03.759
tour that pyramid, but they don't let you walk up

47
00:03:03.759 --> 00:03:06.599
the steps, which is probably a pretty good thing. Seventeen

48
00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:09.599
seventy seven, the United States General George Washington and has

49
00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:11.680
men set up camp for the winter and Valley Forge

50
00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:15.759
in Pennsylvania. Valid Forge, it's about eighteen miles northwest of Philadelphia.

51
00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:16.400
Now.

52
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:19.240
They stayed there until June. Start out with twelve thousand men.

53
00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:23.360
About three thousand died from disease, hunger exposure. Now the

54
00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:25.680
weather was really wasn't that bad. It's about normal for

55
00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:29.000
that type of year. But what they really locked was supplies. Yeah,

56
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:32.039
that kind of got him. Eighteen twenty three, in Georgia

57
00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:35.120
became the first state requiring all babies to have birth certificates.

58
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:38.840
Baltimore in eighteen ninety one, Charles Uncles he became the

59
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:42.599
first black priest or dained in the United States. Nineteen seventeen,

60
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:45.919
in Toronto, the NHL played his first game on artificial ice.

61
00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:49.520
Now that makes no sense. Now I know what artificial

62
00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:52.120
turf looks like and feels like. But ice is ice,

63
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:55.439
no matter how you make it. In Sheffield, England, in

64
00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:58.039
nineteen twenty two, twenty four year old Treesa Vaughan she

65
00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:00.639
had to go to court. She can fed that. Yes,

66
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:03.319
over the last five years she had married sixty two

67
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:06.800
men in fifty different cities in three different countries. She

68
00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:09.240
would marry a guy, have some fun, and then just

69
00:04:09.319 --> 00:04:12.319
go on to the next guy without divorcing the previous guy. Now,

70
00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:14.159
she said, it would have been a crime for her

71
00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:16.560
not to keep marrying. She had so much love to

72
00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:18.800
share that she just couldn't give it away, or that'd

73
00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:22.600
be like prostitution. So she said that men they were

74
00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:24.639
like eating chips. After she ate her first one, she

75
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:27.120
couldn't stop. Besides, some of those men, she said, we're

76
00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:29.519
really old, so some of them should have died by Now,

77
00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:31.920
that makes sure widow several times over, so she deserves

78
00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:35.000
some sympathy. Now we looked, we could not find a

79
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:42.879

00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:18.559
decided that was pretty cool, so he decided to go

150
00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:20.679
into music and he joined a book band called Ark Nouveau.
