Today is National Brownie Day. Probably my favorite dessert.
8
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:52.960
Eighteen ninety three in Chicago, Bertha Palmer, she owned the
9
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:55.840
Palmer House hotel. Now. She asked her cooks to create
10
00:00:55.880 --> 00:00:58.240
a cake like Dellasy that was small enough that she
11
00:00:58.280 --> 00:00:59.960
could put them in box lunches for a guest to
12
00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:02.240
take to the Chicago World's Fair. A lot of the
13
00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:04.760
cooks came up with the brownie with walnuts and an
14
00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:07.680
apricot glaze. Now the Palmer House they still sell them
15
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:10.879
that way today. Nineteen oh four, a housewife and Bengor Maine.
16
00:01:10.879 --> 00:01:12.959
He actually came up with the brownies that we love today.
17
00:01:13.640 --> 00:01:17.040
Sixty percent of all people for brownies without nuts. Thirty
18
00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:19.560
six percent of people, Hey, they want the corner pieces.

00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:30.799
double live by Garth Brooks, Are Kelly and Selean Dion
23
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:32.680

Let Me Let Go?
31
00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:25.439
The top book was A Man in Full by Tom Wolfe.
32
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:29.680
The top movie was Star Trek Insurrection Captain Picard. He
33
00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:32.360
leads an insurrection when the Enterprise crew learned that an
34
00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:36.840
innocent planet has a whole conspiracy against it Star Patrick Stewart,
35
00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:41.719
Jonathan Freakes, and Brent Spiner. Twenty thirteen Metallica. They became
36
00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:44.639
the first band, well, or any musical unit to play
37
00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:48.439
all seven continents. That's right. The other concert Antarctica. Now
38
00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:50.039
the peng Ones. They loved it. Man, They had a
39
00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:52.240
mosh pit going and everything. About one hundred and twenty
40
00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:56.280
people actually joined the Pengues. All right, what happened on December?
41
00:02:56.400 --> 00:02:59.879
They at well, have you ever crossed the border into Mexico?
42
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:02.520
From El Paso, Texas. If the aveline, he probably went
43
00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:04.879
into the city of See you Dad Werez. It was
44
00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:07.919
founded today in sixteen fifty nine. Now it was originally
45
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:10.240
called the El Paso del Norte, but they changed the
46
00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:12.639
name to See Your Dad Jurez eighteen eighty eight. It
47
00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:15.120
was an honor at Benita Horez. He is the city
48
00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:18.280
as his headquarters when Mexico is fighting the French. So
49
00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:21.319
today on the north side of the Rio Grand El Paso, Texas.
50
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:24.360
It wasn't founded until eighteen forty nine. Now, I just
51
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:26.919
talked about America's first crematorium a couple of days ago,
52
00:03:26.960 --> 00:03:30.360
But eighty years before that, seventeen ninety two, Henry Lawrence.
53
00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:32.639
He was a founding father and the fifth President of
54
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:35.560
the Continental Congress. Henry he had this huge fear of
55
00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:38.800
being buried alive. So according to his will, Henry he
56
00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:41.680
was the first American ever cremated wh I mean white person.
57
00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:43.800
Native tribes had been doing it for a long time,
58
00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:46.879
so they just burnt Henry in a funeral Pyre. Kind
59
00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:48.719
of makes me wonder though, now, if you're afraid of
60
00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:51.879
being buried alive, Now, if you woke up from dead.
61
00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:55.199
Would you rather be buried underground or wake up on fire?
62
00:03:57.039 --> 00:03:59.800
Eighteen fifty seven and the first commercial toilet paper went
63
00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:05.080
on sale. Whoa Joseph Gaidy. He started selling Gaatey's midicated paper.
64
00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:07.439
Made it from Manilla paper with a touch of alo
65
00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:10.800
so that's nice. Came in single shits, sheets and stacks.
66
00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:13.960
His name was printed on every sheet. I don't think
67
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:16.759
that was really an honor though. Now They stayed on
68
00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:19.399
saling until nineteen thirty five. See that's when splinter free
69
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:22.839
toilet paper came out. Yeah, I didn't see that coming either.
70
00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:26.240
Nineteen forty one, one day after the attack on Pearl Harbor,
71
00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:28.800
the United States Congress voted to go to war with Japan.
72
00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:31.240
The only person in the House are Senate to vote
73
00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:33.519
no to go to warrigin It was a House mayor
74
00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:37.079
of Jeanette Rinking from Montana. She believed that President Roosevelt
75
00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:39.279
that provoked Japan in attacking Pearl Harbors to the United
76
00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:42.439
States co joined World War two. Washington d c. In
77
00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:45.920
nineteen eighty two. Norman Mayor he wrapped himself in exposed
78
00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:48.680
and then he took the Washington Monument hostage. He said
79
00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:50.439
he was going to blow himself in the monument up
80
00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:53.519
of the United States, not in nuclear weapons. So after
81
00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:55.680
ten hours the police kind of decided they had enough.
82
00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:58.480
They just shot and killed him. He didn't have any explosives.
83
00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:01.920
And after that everybody takes peace hostages instead of buildings nowadays.
84
00:05:02.279 --> 00:05:04.720
In twenty ten Space Acts, they made history became the
85
00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:07.600
first private company to launch orbit the Earth and recover
86
00:05:07.639 --> 00:05:11.399
their own spacecraft. Twenty twenty two, the Jerusalem Post they
87
00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:14.319
printed an article where their former Israeli space security chief
88
00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:17.600
i Am Eshed, he said, there is a galactic federation
89
00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:18.279
of aliens.
90
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:21.040
It does exist, and Donald Trump knows all about it.

00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:51.519
Come in with you color chocolate, recall it to the

O the candy Man can.
99
00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:00.000
Sammy David.
100
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:02.839
He was born in New York City in nineteen twenty five.
101
00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:06.079
So his dad, Sammy Davis Senior, he was a professional
102
00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:10.759
entertainer and he toured with will Mastina trio. Yeah, so
103
00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:13.079
he brought Sammy along when he was three years old. Yeah,
104
00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:15.199
that's when Sammy started performing. Then after he got out
105
00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:17.680
of the army after World War Two, he had that trio.
106
00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:20.439
Made Sammy Junior really famous. Yeah, he was their lead singer.
107
00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:23.439
Ended up going solo. So he starred as a solo singer,
108
00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:26.920
released albums, acted, did Broadway, and at twenty nine years old,
109
00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:29.199
he's in a horrible car crash, lost his left eye.
110
00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:31.560
Comedian Eddie Canner is one of his best friends. He'd
111
00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:34.519
visit him in the hospital. So Eddie, he was Jewish
112
00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:37.000
and him and Sammy they would talk about the struggles
113
00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:39.480
of the Jewish and the black people. Sammy ended up
114
00:06:39.480 --> 00:06:42.439
converting to Judaism. Now Sammy's second wife, she was the
115
00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:45.360
sweetest actress. Her name as May Britt. They were married
116
00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:47.279
from nineteen sixty to nineteen sixty eight.
117
00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:47.920
Now you have to.
118
00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:50.600
Remember that interracial marriage was still illegal in twenty three
119
00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:53.600
states at that time. They had one daughter and two sons.
120
00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:56.079
They ended up divorting, just divorcing, just because of all
121
00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:58.519
the pressure, that social pressure. You have half the states
122
00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:01.759
even think that you shouldn't even marry, but sammygmarried his
123
00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:03.759
third wife in nineteen seventy and they had one son.
124
00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:06.920

125
00:07:06.920 --> 00:07:11.319
four years old. Actor David Carridine. He's born in Hollywood, California,
126
00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:13.759

127
00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:16.439
acting family. David he is famous for starting on the
128
00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:19.920
TV show Kung Fu. He played a peace loving monk
129
00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:22.240
who traveled through the Old West kicking everybody's ass from
130
00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:25.240
kun Ku kung Fu. Now, Kung Fu was one of
131
00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:27.680
the top shows on TV, and David just left. Yeah,
132
00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:29.560
he wanted to go into movies. He was in over
133
00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:31.720
one hundred of them. Some of them are Death Bart,
134
00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:34.360
Long Riders, the Kill Bill movies. He had a daughter
135
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:36.160

137
00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:41.279
his second wife, married his fifth wife in two thousand
138
00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:43.319
and four. Then David hung himself in two thousand and
139
00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:44.600
nine at seventy two years old.
140
00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:50.560
You know, I almost.
141
00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:07.120
As Jim Morrison. He was the lead singer for the
142
00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:09.399
band The Doors. He was born in Melbourne, Florida, in
143
00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:12.519

144
00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:15.240
in nineteen sixty five. After all these years, the Doors
145
00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:17.360
have sold over in a million one hundred million records.
146
00:08:17.720 --> 00:08:20.079
Light My Fire people are strange. Hello, I Love You
147
00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:22.399
had some of their heads more than anything else. Though
148
00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:25.120
Morrison he considered himself a poet even more than a musician.
149
00:08:25.639 --> 00:08:27.279
I don't think any of ISAMBI to get wasted enough
150
00:08:27.279 --> 00:08:28.839
to understand what his poems were about.
151
00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:30.040
Though had drugs.
152
00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:32.399
They got Jim in nineteen seventy one at twenty seven
153
00:08:32.440 --> 00:08:32.879
years old.
154
00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:53.639
William Worse Marcy.
155
00:08:55.399 --> 00:08:57.639
That was Greg Almond. He formed the Almond Brothers with
156
00:08:57.679 --> 00:09:00.519
his brother Dwayne in nineteen sixty nine. Greg was born
157
00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:03.240
in Nashville in nineteen forty seven. Dwayne he was killed
158
00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:06.120
in nineteen seventy one in a motorcycle crash. Then Greg
159
00:09:06.159 --> 00:09:07.799
he was in and out of the Almond Brother's band
160
00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:08.879
until twenty fourteen.
161
00:09:08.919 --> 00:09:10.000
Then he just shut her down.
162
00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:12.480
Some of the hits that he sang I'm a rambling Man,
163
00:09:12.679 --> 00:09:15.519
crazy love straight from the Heart. Now I'm No Angel.
164
00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:18.440
That was a solo hit. Yeah, I mean the band
165
00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:20.519
was named formed All My Brothers, but he actually made
166
00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:22.279
this without the All My brothers he did at solo.
167
00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:25.639
His third wife was Cher. They had a son. In total,
168
00:09:25.679 --> 00:09:28.360
Greg married seven women. He had five children, Three were
169
00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:30.799
from the wives and two were from other women. Greggy
170
00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:33.720
