37
00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:47.159
And we talked about this the other day when Mobile,

38
00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:50.719
Alabama held the first Marty gras Well. I had nineteen

39
00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:52.560
one hundred and twenty five years later, so it being

40
00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:55.639
eighteen twenty seven, Yeah, New Orleans that's when they held

41
00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:59.319
their first marty Gra. Eighteen seventy nine, a Russian chemist

42
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:02.479
named Constantan Fauberg he came to America. He was working

43
00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:05.639
with Cole tar at John Hopkins University when he discovered

44
00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:09.360
the artificial Swedener saccharin. And one hundred years later, in

45
00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:12.319
nineteen eighty one, the United States banned sacern. They said

46
00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:15.960
it caused cancer in bladders of rats, and it does,

47
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:18.479
but for you to get as much sacerin in you

48
00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:20.439
as they gave those rats, you'd have to drink eight

49
00:03:20.520 --> 00:03:23.560
hundred cans of soda a day. In two thousand, the

50
00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:27.080
United States made sacern legal again, with no warnings. Sounds

51
00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:29.879
kind of fishy, didn't it. Nineteen fifty one, the twenty

00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:31.279
all time. They're ahead of Destiny's Child by five million records.

165
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:36.240
Some TLC hits are creep Waterfall, no scrubs. I'm pretty Chili,

166
00:09:36.360 --> 00:09:38.279
she has one son from my next boyfriend?

167
00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:40.559
Will you raise me.

168
00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:52.399
To come? Stormy? I am strong when nine, I'm on

169
00:09:53.320 --> 00:09:58.519
your sholder, Raise me up.

170
00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:02.480
Josh Groban he's forty five. He was born in Los

171
00:10:02.480 --> 00:10:05.360
Angeles in nineteen eighty one. Now he's on a world

172
00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:08.080
tour right now he starts playing back in the States. Well,

173
00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:10.360
it gets back I think at the beginning of June. Now,

174
00:10:10.440 --> 00:10:13.159
Josh he started singing professionally when he was sixteen. Now

175
00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:15.799
he is considered a classical singer, which means it's kind

176
00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:19.960
of gospel, choral, folk, opera, all kind of combined. So

177
00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:22.639
his thirty five million records that he sold is absolutely

178
00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:26.440
huge for classical singer. Some of US songs actually crossed

179
00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:29.480
over to pop charts, where he had success are to.

180
00:10:29.559 --> 00:10:30.120
Where you are?

181
00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:33.919

We Are Marshall, Then Shoot Her Deadfall. She played the

186
00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:49.639
Invisible Woman in Fantastic four. I don't know how hard

187
00:10:49.679 --> 00:10:51.240
that would be. I guess you'd treat like a voice.

188
00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:53.639
Roll right on TV. She was on House of Cards.

189

She married in twenty seventeen and they have a son

191
00:10:56.320 --> 00:10:58.840
and a daughter. Now, Footfall fans, you're gonna think this

192
00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:02.000
was really cool. Her great grandfathers were Art Rooney and

193
00:11:02.200 --> 00:11:05.120
Tim Mahra. So her mom's side of the family owns

194
00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:07.120
the Pittsburgh Steeler, and her dad's side of the family

195
00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:10.519
he owns the New York Giants. Alright here, God of

196

198
00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:19.559
I think it's my adventure, my trip, my journey. I

199
00:11:19.600 --> 00:11:21.840

211
00:11:59.639 --> 00:12:05.559
over the radio and play songs don't make sense if

212
00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:09.879
she's happy with me, and why to sing all these

213
00:12:10.360 --> 00:12:19.279

214
00:12:19.480 --> 00:12:28.080
there you mean somebody knew and going back over their place.

215
00:12:29.559 --> 00:12:34.320

all night long.

217
00:12:38.080 --> 00:12:39.080
Many I'm priz.

218
00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:46.639
She seems like maybe a ship and song. Maybe it's not,

219
00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:55.600
Maybe it's just thall. Maybe have over her be accident,

220
00:12:56.759 --> 00:13:02.720
thinking there's something wrong. Name a song that I play.

She looks you away and she don't want over everything. Man,
