00:00:20.199 --> 00:00:23.519
Welcome to history. In fact, it's about today. Day's February

2
00:00:23.559 --> 00:00:33.679
the second.

3
00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:36.280
Groundhog Day. February second is the day every day we

4
00:00:36.560 --> 00:00:41.880
celebrate yayyay crowndhog Jay, yay crownhog Jay.

5
00:00:42.439 --> 00:00:46.119
Well, Happy groundhog Day. The first groundhog Day was held

6
00:00:46.119 --> 00:00:49.960
in eighteen eighty seven in Bucksatani, Pennsylvania. Now, the tradition

7
00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:54.079
of groundhog Day has started way way back in Christian literature. Yeah,

8
00:00:54.159 --> 00:00:56.679
Christian clergy. They used to use candlesticks to predict how

9
00:00:56.719 --> 00:00:59.159
long the winter would last. Later on the Germans they

10
00:00:59.159 --> 00:01:01.119
started using animal used to make their predictions. So when

11
00:01:01.119 --> 00:01:03.200
the German immigrants came over the United States and settled

12
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:06.799
in Pennsylvania, yes, continue the tradition started using Bucksadani Phil.

13
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:10.000
Now at Phil sees his shadow, that means there'll be

14
00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:12.640
six more weeks a winter. If he doesn't see his shadow,

15
00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:15.280
well then it's early spring. Since it started in eighteen

16
00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:17.680
eighty seven, Phil has been cracked thirty nine percent of

17
00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:20.120
the time. Now that's cool and all, but that isn't

18
00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:39.319
why February second is one of my favorite days. Today

19
00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:43.640
is National Tater Tot Day. I love me some tater

20
00:01:43.719 --> 00:01:46.000
tots and I don't throw that word around loosely. In

21
00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:48.840
nineteen thirty is when French fries began being mass produced.

22
00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:51.400
The potatoes scraps from the French fries that were left

23
00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:53.599
over were used to use to feed the cattle. Then

24
00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:56.040
two brothers in nineteen thirty four put a French fry

25
00:01:56.079 --> 00:01:58.760
factory on the Idaho Oregon border called the ore Ida

26
00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:01.359
nineteen fifty three. That's true, brother, they decided to do

27
00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:03.120
some with all those potato scraps they were just feeding

28
00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:06.319
the cows. Yep, they invented tator tots. Now, Sonic they're

29
00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:08.360
giving away tater tots today, and so is Burger King

30
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:10.680

31
00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:12.080
few things that you can actually cook at home that

32
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:14.439
tastes almost just as good. All right, this is going

33
00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:16.919
on in entertainment. On February second, let's back to nineteen

34
00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:19.719

You know this, I'm out of here.

40
00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:16.120
The number one book was Intensity by Dean Kons. The

41
00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:19.319
top movie was Black Sheep. A guy running for governor

42
00:03:19.639 --> 00:03:21.800
he hires a guy whose only job is to keep

43
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:25.240
the Canada's younger brother from ruining the election. Stars Chris Farley,

44
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:28.520
David Spade, and Tim Matthewson. All right, what happened on

45
00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:31.840
February of this second today? Sixteen fifty three? The Dutch

46
00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:35.280
they founded the city of Amsterdam. Then in sixteen sixty

47
00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:37.039
four other British kicked him out and renamed in New

48
00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:39.840
York City. Now today we don't even think anything about

49
00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:41.960
taking pictures. You know. If we want to pull something

50
00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:43.439
up that we want to say, yeah, we just do it.

51
00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:46.159
And we had our six that what now was before cameras.

52
00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:49.400
Eighteen oh two people lined up in Boston. They were

53
00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:51.479
willing to pay twenty five cents to see the first

54
00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:55.080
leopard ever exhibited in the United States. Eighteen forty eight,

55
00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:57.840
the Mexican American War was over. They signed the Treaty

56
00:03:57.879 --> 00:04:02.520
of Guadaloupe Hidalgo, Mexico. Oh, poor guys. They lost fifty

57
00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:04.639
five percent of their land in the United States that

58
00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:08.879
included California, Nevadi, Utah, and Texas. Now, honestly, Mexico tried,

59
00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:10.759
but they didn't put out much of a fight. Now,

60
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:12.840
it was pretty much just an ass woman. The United

61
00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:15.439
States kind of feel storry for how bad the Mexicans fought,

62
00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:18.120
so to help the Mexican save a little face. Instead

63
00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:20.360
of saying that the United States conquered all that land

64
00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:23.120
and then won it, the United States gave Mexico fifteen

65
00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:26.839
million dollars and said, yeah, we bought it. Baseball fans,
