Today is National Carrot Cake Day of carrots. They have

8
00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:54.880
a natural sweetness that makes them good for baking carrot cake.

9
00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:57.200
It got popular in World War two with sugar rationing

10
00:00:57.240 --> 00:00:59.920
in effect. Yeah, people just substitute the carrots for sugar.

11
00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:01.759
Then after the war was over, they said, hey, this

12
00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:05.239
care cakes are pretty damn good now. Carrot cake. It

13
00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:08.200
is a little healthier than regular cake, but really not

14
00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:10.799

his widowed pride.

34
00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:42.759
Something touched me deep inside.

35
00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:47.840
The day the music.

36
00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:59.919
So finevis American Pie drove Ma Chevin to the list,

37
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:04.759
but the Levy was dry, and then good old boys

38
00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:09.759
when drinking whiskey and ride singing this sob The day that.

39
00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:13.840
I died today is called the day the Music died.

40
00:03:14.039 --> 00:03:17.960
It was nineteen fifty nine when Buddy Holly, the Big Bopper,

41
00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:20.360
Richie Vallens, and the pilot they were all killed when

42
00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:23.759
they're playing Crash near Clearwake, Iowa. Now originally Buddy he

43
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:26.199
hired the plane for his band the Crickets. Yeah, he

44
00:03:26.240 --> 00:03:28.439
wanted to fly to their next show in Morehead, Minnesota,

45
00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:31.039
and get off that tour bus. Well, the Big Bopper

46
00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:33.080
was sick, so Waylon Jennings gave up his seat on

47
00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:34.879
the plane, so Bopper didn't have to ride on that

48
00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:35.759
cold tour bus.

49
00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:36.120
Yeah.

50
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:38.039
Wayal then he started out as a cricket. Then the

51
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:41.159
other cricker, Tommy allsapp him and Richievallens. They flipped the

52
00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:43.199
coin to see who got the last seed on the plane.

53
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:46.680
Richie won, Well, I guess holtimate. Richie lost. Now Buddy

54
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:49.759
Holly he was twenty two. Richie Vallens was seventeen, Big

55
00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:52.919
Bopper twenty eight. Their pilot Roger Peterson, he was twenty one.

56
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:57.360
All right, what else happened? On February the third, eighteen

57
00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:00.280
seventy the fifteenth Amendment in the United States Constitution was

58
00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:04.520
ratified and became law guaranteed blacks the right to vote.

59
00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:07.199
It read that citizens, regardless of race ar color, could

60
00:04:07.240 --> 00:04:09.639
all vote, except women. It didn't matter if you were

61
00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:11.560
a black woman or a white woman. You couldn't vote

62
00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:12.800
for another fifty years.

63
00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:13.439
Now.

64
00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:15.919
I'm sure you've all either used or heard of Spalding

65
00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:19.480
Sporting Goods eighteen seventy six. How were Spalding? He invested

66
00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:22.680
eight hundred dollars to manufacture the first official baseballs for

67
00:04:22.759 --> 00:04:25.480
Major League Baseball. That worked out so good they moved

68
00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:29.160
on to baseball clubs, tennis balls, basketball's, golf balls, pretty

69
00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:31.319
much anything to do with sports. Yeah, Spaulding makes it.

70
00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:34.680
Eighteen eighty seven, Now, there had been a bunch of

71
00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:38.079
federal elections that were really close and the outcome seemed

72
00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:41.360
really fishy. So the United States Congress they stepped in.

73
00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:44.720
They enacted the Electoral Count Act. Now, that way there

74
00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:48.120
would never be a discrepancy in elections. Again, saltem prov

75
00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:51.040
was right then there. Yeah, I know what you say.

76
00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:53.839
Good see, but it was by a partisan Yeah. The

77
00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:56.439
House was controlled by the Democrats and the Senate was

78
00:04:57.920 --> 00:05:00.199
controlled by the Republicans. Yeah, they all got to together

79
00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:02.000
and made sure that we never had a disputed election

80
00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:06.279
since nineteen thirteen, the sixteenth Amendment the United States Constitution

81
00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:08.879
went no effect. Now, these people were stupid. Have they

82
00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:11.920
voted to give the government the right to collect income tax? Right,

83
00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:15.079
so your great great great grandfather, yeah, voted for income tax.

84
00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:17.920
Can't blame women yet, Nope, they couldn't vote yet. So

85
00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:20.480
now asked what what people actually voted for? Though it

86
00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:22.600
kind of makes sense. It was just a three percent

87
00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:25.519
flat tax. That was it. No big deal, But that

88
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:27.600
opened the door just enough when the government has done

89
00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:30.759
what they wanted with your taxes ever since. Nineteen thirty

90
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:34.519
one newspaper writer HL Macon he called the whole state

91
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:39.360
of Arkansas the apex of Moronia. Well, they Arkansas state Legislature.

92
00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:42.279
They got together and they passed a motion for everybody

93
00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:44.399
in the state of Arkansas to pray for Hl soul.

94
00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:46.439
I don't think they knew what moronium yet.

95
00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:47.480
Now.

96
00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:50.319
These men, they are known as the four Chaplains, say

97
00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:52.199
that they even had movie and a posted stamp were

98
00:05:52.199 --> 00:05:56.319
made on their honor. George Fox, Alexander Good, Clark Bowling,

99
00:05:56.399 --> 00:05:59.000
and John Washington in nineteen forty three. They were all

100
00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:01.720
Chaplains the United States Army during World War Two. They

101
00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:03.959
were on board of the United States Army transport ships that

102
00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:06.240
Dorchester when it was hit by a German turned pedo.

103
00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:09.720
That is a ship of sinking. The men they got

104
00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:11.480
helped there, but they could get into life boats. They

105
00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:13.360
even get up their own personal life vets because not

106
00:06:13.399 --> 00:06:16.120
everybody had one. That as a ship went down underwater,

107
00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:19.199
the four men were seen joined arm in arm singing

108
00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:24.000
and praying hymns. Now they were posthumously awarded that Distinguished

109

212
00:12:02.279 --> 00:12:04.600
from Tim up there in South Dakota. He wants here,

213
00:12:04.639 --> 00:12:08.200
Brad Howard's on back of the pickup truck. You guys

215
00:12:10.799 --> 00:12:13.159
I wasn't bouncing in and laughing as he rolled down

216
00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:17.840
in old dirt rode Daddy, looking in his rear view,

217
00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:22.519
hoping they would just hang on. But like every call

218
00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:27.000
of time, when I ever had so much fun as

219
00:12:27.039 --> 00:12:29.360
I did Win I rolled in the back of a

220
00:12:29.399 --> 00:12:33.799
pickup truck. I was saying, if they went, my arms

221
00:12:33.799 --> 00:12:38.840
stretched out on that rusty bed, just waving that the

222
00:12:38.879 --> 00:12:43.279
people in their cars when the light turned reds. I

223
00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:45.960
get a little scared when the tires had a hohr

224
00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:50.360
about him, but it made me feel big in the

225
00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:55.000
back of a pickup truck. I didn't care about the

226
00:12:55.120 --> 00:13:00.039
roller coaster down at the County fell to me. I

227
00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:04.919
didn't have the punch a trip had had. When we

228
00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:07.559
got back home. I always throw my hands up in

229
00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:12.120
the airs because I was so excited that I got

230
00:13:12.120 --> 00:13:16.559
another right back there in my stake. I'm kind of

231
00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:21.000
crazy when I said that my first love was a

232
00:13:21.240 --> 00:13:23.679
bounding it and laughing in the back of a pickure

233
00:13:23.720 --> 00:13:24.279
