Tortilla Today is National Tortilla Chip Day. Who In nineteen
7
00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:49.039
forty Rebecca Coranza and her husband they owned a Mexican
8
00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:52.479
and Delian tortilla factory. Now, she kept noticing the lot
9
00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:54.560
of the tortillas got rejected. Yeah, they came out of
10
00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:57.119
the machine all misshaping. It's not that you wanted to
11
00:00:57.119 --> 00:00:58.960
do something with that, And so she started cutting them
12
00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:01.759
up into triangles. She deep fried him, added some salt.
13
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:04.480
Huge it. So thank you, Rebecca for coming up with
14
00:01:04.519 --> 00:01:07.560

17
00:01:13.519 --> 00:01:16.519
twenty fourth in the year nineteen eighty nine, number one
18
00:01:16.519 --> 00:01:19.640
album was Don't Be Cruel by Bobby Brown. Paula Abdul had.
19
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:21.000
The number one song was straight.
20
00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:36.519
Up She tell Me, Tell Me.
21
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:42.840
Dwight Yoakam had the number one country song with I
22
00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:44.519
Sang Dixie.
23
00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:58.079
People just walk down back the round all these rebels,
24
00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:03.040
I sang nigs.
25
00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:11.719
The number one book was star by Danielle Steele. The
26
00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:14.639
top movie was The Burbs Neighbors. They think that a
27
00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:18.280
new family that moved onto the block are basically satanic colters,
28
00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:20.960
so yeah, they have to deal with that. It starts
29
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:24.400
Tom Hanks, Bruce Dern and Carrie Fisher sixteen oh seven
30
00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:26.240
the opera L R.
31
00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:26.599
Frio.
32
00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:29.879
It debuted over in Italy. It is now the oldest
33
00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:34.599
operator that's still regularly performed. Okay, what happened on February
34
00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:38.680
the twenty fourth, Well, since forty six BC, most of
35
00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:41.360
the world had used the calendar name for Julius Caesar,
36
00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:44.520
the Julian Calendar. It worked okay, but after sixteen hundred
37
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:47.199
years it needed to be fixed. Today. In fifteen eighty
38
00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:50.479
two book Gregor the Thirteenth, he asked the new calendar,
39
00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:53.439
the greg Goryan Calendar. Now that fixed pretty much everything.
40
00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:55.919
He did, things like moved new years from April first
41
00:02:55.919 --> 00:02:59.240
to January first, and then it added February eleap year
42
00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:01.479
every four years. Now it took a while, but most
43
00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:03.439
of the ones world now they didn't come around and
44
00:03:03.479 --> 00:03:06.759
switched to the Greggryan. Last country in our country to
45
00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:09.159
do it, that was over in Turkey. They didn't switch
46
00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:13.479
to the Gregorian calendar until nineteen twenty six, eighteen oh seven,
47
00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:17.840
at the Newcastle Prison in England, three convicted murderers, John Holloway,
48
00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:20.879
Owen Haggerty and Elizabeth Gottfried, they were sentenced to a
49
00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:23.960
public ganging. Forty thousand people showed up to see that
50
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:26.439
public ganging. Now, when the lever was pulled and the
51
00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:28.960
bodies dropped, the whole crowd, he just searched forward for
52
00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:31.520
a better look. Thirty people in the crowd were crushed
53
00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:34.159
to death. So if you need a clear example of irony,
54
00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:37.360
there you go. Now, most people don't know this, but
55
00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:40.360
the first so it'd be the oldest Marty Gras celebration
56
00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:42.919
of the United States. Yeah, it comes from Mobile, Alabama.
57
00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:45.400
They held their first one in seventeen oh three. Now
58
00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:48.400
that was before New Orleans even founded. But today, in
59
00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:51.800
eighteen sixty eight, Mobile day up the game. They held
60
00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:55.360
the first Mardi Gras parade with floats nineteen forty two.
61
00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:58.039
Three months of almost three months after the attack on
62
00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:01.400
Pearl Harbor, Los Angeles thought it had to defend itself
63
00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:04.199
from a Japanese era rid known as the Battle of
64
00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:07.759
Los Angeles. During the night, observers that spoted something in
65
00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:10.840
the sky just above the city. Spotlights just lit up
66
00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:13.879
the sky. Anti aircraft fire throughout the night. Now, three
67
00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:15.840
people were killed in car crash just trying to escape
68
00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:18.600
the city. Two other people died from heart attacks. Now
69
00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:22.839
they fired on forty four rounds of that anti aircraft fire. Yeah, no,
70
00:04:22.879 --> 00:04:24.920
people don't know Japanese planes were shot down, but they
71
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:28.000
did get a weather balloon. Now, this is just an
72
00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:32.199
example of basically inflation. And I like pigs. Today. In
73
00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:35.439
nineteen seventy nine in Stamford, Texas, a guy paid the
74
00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:38.079
highest price ever for a pig. He paid forty two thousand,
75
00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:42.360
five hundred dollars. That's right. Until last year in Ohio
76
00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:45.560
they set a new record for the highest paid pig.
77
00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:48.240
Somebody paid five hundred and twenty five thousand dollars for
78
00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:51.279
If you're one of the highest money and anybody's paid
79
00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:54.759
for a cow, that's four million. Nineteen ninety six, Cuba,
80
00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:58.160
they announced that it's air Force. They're Migjet flyiners had
81
00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:01.160
shot down two American planes. It was thirty miles off
82
00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:04.600
of Cuba, so it's basically in international waters, which is illegal,
83
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:07.639
but Cuba. But they weren't lying they did. Those two
84
00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:09.879
planes that they shot down, Yeah, they were both little
85
00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:12.920
Cessanta planes that were being used by charities. Now nothing
86
00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:15.759
happened to him, Bill Clinton, he huffed and puffed and
87
00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:19.360
he was outraised the United Nations. They condemned the whole
88
00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:22.600
incident and all that. Nothing happened. But then again on
89
00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:24.000
this day in two thousand and eight, and that's when
90
00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:27.879
Fidel Castro he retired from El Presidente, been president day
91
00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:31.079
for almost fifty years. He had poor health and his
92
00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:35.279
brother Raul took over. Once again, nothing happened. In Malaysia
93
00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:38.879
twenty twenty, ninety four year old prime minister. Has there
94
00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:43.040
been Mohammed? He just resigned. He said, ninety four years old, tired,
95
00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:45.160
I'm done, I don't want to do it anymore. So he
96
00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:47.600
went on. Later that day they went and got him,
97
00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:50.480
said he could They couldn't find anybody to replace him. So, yeah,
98
00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:52.600
he couldn't retire. He needed to be an interim prime
99
00:05:52.600 --> 00:05:55.399
minister until they found someone. So the old guy went
100
00:05:55.399 --> 00:05:57.480
back to work. Now he only had to do it
101
00:05:57.519 --> 00:05:59.199
for a week, but I mean still that kind of
102
00:05:59.199 --> 00:05:59.680
pish off.
103
00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:07.759
Joe Dopp joked joke shog dis Shilbert Day, Please gonna
104
00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:09.639

105

We got simple tag.
106
00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:13.439
He left dis shilbirth day and you you don't.
107
00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:17.959
Let's look at it. Was born on February the twenty
108
00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:21.000
fourth actor Abe Pagoda. He was born in Brooklyn, New York,
109
00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:23.839
in nineteen twenty one. He was really successful on Broadway
110
00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:26.199
in the nineteen sixties. That led him to starting in
111
00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:28.480
the Godfather movies. He did the Look Who's Talking?
112
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:29.240
On TV?
113
00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:30.959
He was on Barney Miller. He played fish.
114
00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:31.720
Now.
115
00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:34.759
When Abe was a young man, he was a national
116
00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:37.639
champion handball player. Now I've only seen Abe as an
117
00:06:37.639 --> 00:06:39.680
old man, so I can't really picture of playing a
118
00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:42.199
handball now. He had a daughter from his first wife.
119
00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:44.480
I'm married a second wife in nineteen sixty eight. They
120
00:06:44.519 --> 00:06:46.319
were together until Abe died in his sleep one month
121
00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:48.639
before his ninety fifth birthday in twenty sixteen.
122
00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:52.759
Drunken, stupid, It's nowhere to go through life style.
123
00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:57.120
That was John Vernon. He was born in Zebner Canada
124
00:06:57.160 --> 00:06:59.240
in nineteen thirty two. He was a TV star up
125
00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:01.439
in Canada, but he decided to head down south and
126
00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:04.319
go into movies, most known for playing that guy there
127
00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:07.160
Dean Warmer in The Animal House. Now he was in
128
00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:08.800
a couple of Clinton eastwid movies. Yeah, he was in
129
00:07:08.839 --> 00:07:11.519
Dirty Harry and Outline Josee Wales. Now he was in
130
00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:13.279
a lot of movie and a lot of TV shows.
131
00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:16.319
He always played the bad guy every single time. He
132
00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:18.439
married once and had a daughter and two sons from it.
133
00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:21.639
Johnny died from complications during heart surgery in two thousand
134
00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:23.199
and five at seventy two years old.
135
00:07:24.120 --> 00:07:38.680
That's she was just walking down the street singing, you
136
00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:44.560
look good, you look fine, You looked good, you look fine,
137
00:07:45.639 --> 00:07:46.040
los my.
138
00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:50.879
That was Paul Jones singing from Manfred Men Paul's eighty four.
139
00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:53.360
He was born in Portsmouth, England in nineteen forty two.
140
00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:56.800
Helped form Man for Man in nineteen sixty two. Now
141
00:07:56.800 --> 00:07:59.319
he's singing, played the harmonica. Some of the hits that
142
00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:02.920
he sang were did He Sha La La, Pretty Flamingo?
143
00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:05.639
Just like a woman decided to go solo in nineteen
144
00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:08.000
sixty seven. Yeah, that wasn't a good call. I mean
145
00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:09.800
he had a little success in England, but that was
146
00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:12.040
about it. He didn't get a doctorate in music from
147
00:08:12.079 --> 00:08:15.680
the University of Portsmouth. Now, since nineteen ninety two he
148
00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:19.000
has been in the band the Manfreds. Yeah, he is it,
149
00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:20.720
and all the guys who in the early Manford band,
150
00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:23.120
all the original members are all in there, and Mike
151
00:08:23.160 --> 00:08:25.800
Diabo who took over singing after he left. Yeah, he's
152
00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:28.279
in there. Everybody's in there except Manford Man. Yeah, they
153
00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:31.319
use a different keyboard player. PAULI had two sons and
154
00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:34.519
one from his first wife, now Paul. He was a
155
00:08:34.639 --> 00:08:37.759
hard hardcore atheist in the late sixties. Throughout the seventies,
156
00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:40.840
I mean, he would write op eds into the newspapers.
157
00:08:40.840 --> 00:08:42.799
He would go on any TV show and debate anybody
158
00:08:42.799 --> 00:08:45.799
he could against God. He's basically an ass. But then
159
00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:48.519
in the nineteen eighties he met a Christian public speaker,
160
00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:50.759
him and Earth. They got married in nineteen eighty four
161
00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:53.799
and they are very public and very happy Christian couple.
162
00:08:55.080 --> 00:08:58.039
Actorate Edward James almost He's seventy nine, born in East
163
00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:01.159
Los Angeles in nineteen forty seven. Start out singing in
164
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:03.320
a rock and roll band. Now That really upset his
165
00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:05.000
dad because I almost had a chance to try and
166
00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:07.840
play professional baseball, but he turned it down, So his
167
00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:09.799
dad was mad and all that kind of stuff. Well,
168
00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:12.200
the rock and roll thing didn't work, so he started
169
00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:14.639
doing theater. Then he finally hit on the TV show
170

187
00:10:08.360 --> 00:10:11.559
