In twenty fourteen, texting passive phone calls for the most

9
00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:43.479
popular way to communicate. Yeah, not really personal. So with

00:00:43.560 --> 00:00:46.039
the holiday is almost over, don't let twenty twenty four

11

in without calling a friend you haven't talked to you

12
00:00:48.039 --> 00:00:49.920
in a while. I know it's gonna feel a little

13
00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:51.840
awkward when you talk to someone you haven't spoken with

14
00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:55.359
a long time, But that awkwardness at least, I just

15
00:00:55.359 --> 00:00:57.840
remember it's always easier to call someone than it is

16
00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:00.560
to say I wish I called them. Yeah, let's see

17
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:02.560
what happened in entertainment nine December of the twenty eighth.

18
00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:05.200

00:01:05.239 --> 00:01:07.840
The White Album from the Beatles. Marvin Gay had the

20
00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:10.599

I can't get through the one and which your tall line,

25
00:01:52.760 --> 00:01:54.680
It's still on the line.

26
00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:01.280
The number one book was The Salzburg by Helen mcmare.

00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:12.879
It's a musical based on Charles Dickens's book Oliver Twist.

31
00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:16.960
All right, what happened on December the twenty eighth, sixteen twelve.

32
00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:19.840
Galileo he was using a primitive telescope that he had made.

33
00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:22.560
He recorded his discovery of Neptune in his journal. Yeah,

34
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:25.199
I wrote all about it, But see Galileo, he actually

35
00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:27.520
thought it was just a fixed star. Then two hundred

36
00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:31.680
years later, in eighteen twenty, an astronomer was reading his journal. Yeah,

37
00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:34.639
he realized Galileo made a mistake. And since Galileto didn't

38
00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:37.759
call DIBs, yeah, Frinch astronomer gets credit for discovering Neptune.

39
00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:42.879
Eighteen thirty two, Vice President John Calhoun. Now he cannot

40
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:45.280
get along with the United States President Andrew Jackson to

41
00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:47.719
save his soul, So Calhoun He became the first vice

42
00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:50.800
president to resign from office. The only other vice president

43
00:02:50.879 --> 00:03:14.840
resigned from office Sparro Wagne in nineteen seventy three. Well,

44
00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:18.199
Happy Birthday, Iowa. It was today. In eighteen forty six,

45
00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:21.360
