It's the healthiest.
10
00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:55.799
Yeah, most of the fat gets cooked off and there
11
00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:58.280
are no cards or sugar in pork grinds. Now, they
12
00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:01.439
sound gross because they're pigskin, but they still taste really good.
13
00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:03.640
And you eat fried chicken, right, so you eat the
14
00:01:03.679 --> 00:01:04.120
chicken skin.
15
00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:04.640
So there's that.
16
00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:08.200

Completely opposite.
33
00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:46.879
Carrie Underwood had the number one country song with Jesus
34
00:01:46.920 --> 00:02:11.639
Take the Wheel Jesus. The number one book was sell
35
00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:14.479
by Stephen King. The top movie was When a Stranger
36
00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:17.800
calls while babysitting a high school girl. She's harassed by
37
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:19.800
a prank caller and they can get harder and harder.
38
00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:21.680
An ear You're in, Erea.
39
00:02:21.199 --> 00:02:25.879
Starts Tomea Bell, Tommy Flanagan and Kate Cassidy, All right,
40
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:29.800
what happened? On February fifth, eighteen sixty nine And Victoria, Australia,
41
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:33.639
John Deson and Richard Oats one inch below ground level yep,
42
00:02:33.759 --> 00:02:35.759
one inch below the dirt they found the largest gold
43
00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:38.199
nugget of all time still is They named it the
44
00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:41.240
Welcome Stranger. Weighed one hundred and seventy three pounds. Worried
45
00:02:41.240 --> 00:02:44.120
about worth about eleven point six million to day, that
46
00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:46.599
was melted down and sent back to England. Six of
47
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:48.759
the top ten biggest gold nuggets of all time are
48
00:02:48.759 --> 00:02:52.599
found on Australia. Now gold it's not found there, are
49
00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:55.680
not formed here on Earth. See, all gold on Earth
50
00:02:55.719 --> 00:02:58.319
has come from either meteorites or asteroids. Gold only forms
51
00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:00.240
when the star dies and it's created by a super over.
52
00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:04.800
Nineteen eighty two, Readers Digest magazine began publishing it still
53
00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:07.080
is now. I used to laugh because my grandma'ld get
54
00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:08.840
that Reader's Digests with a really big print.
55
00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:10.120
Ye I don't laugh anymore.
56
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:13.520
A few years ago you heard Joe Biden. He was
57
00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:15.879
talking about court packing. Now, that is when you add
58
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:18.400
a whole bunch of Supreme Court justices. Of course you're
59
00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:20.000
assuming they're going to have rolled the way you want.
60
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:22.560
But Joe did not come up with that idea. Franklin
61
00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:26.039
Roosevelt did. He proposed it today in nineteen thirty seven. Now,
62
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:29.560
at that time the Democrats controlled the House and the Senate,
63
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:32.560
and there is nothing in the United States Constitution that
64
00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:35.400
says how many Supreme Court justices you can live. See,
65
00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:38.400
it's just a gentleman agreement that we all say, yeah, nine,
66
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:41.879
that's it. But FDR he wanted to go to sixteen Republicans.
67
00:03:41.879 --> 00:03:44.240
They couldn't do anything to stop him. The Democrats did.
68
00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:47.120
They thought it was bush league and dirty. So FDR's
69
00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:49.560
plan for court packing the Supreme Court. Yeah, died in
70
00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:53.520
a Dennick Democratic controlled US Senate. Nineteen seventy one, the
71
00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:56.039
Third Man Mission landed on the Mars. I followed fourteen.
72
00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:59.400
That's nuts, Alan Shepherd and Edward Mitchell. They walked around
73
00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:01.280
on the Earth for four hour or the moon for
74
00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:02.439
four hours.
75
00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:04.280
Picked up some rocks. The next day they got to
76
00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:06.759
drive that really cool moon car, the lunar Lander. Yeah.
77
00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:08.599
They one time they almost cranked it up to eight
78
00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:10.719
miles an hour. Nineteen eighty one.
79
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:13.120
Australia must have ran out of gold nuggets to pick up,
80
00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:16.000
so there's nothing new. So in Brisbane they made the
81
00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:19.600
world's largest jello mold filled up within and forty six
82
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:21.360
gallons of watermelon flavor of jello.
83
00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:22.399
Still their record.

Bobby started out as an original member for the New Edition.
199
00:09:51.879 --> 00:09:54.320
A lot of people think Bobby Bobby was the lead singer. No,
200
00:09:54.559 --> 00:09:57.080
that was Ralph Transpont. No, Bobby thought he should be
201
00:09:57.080 --> 00:09:59.879
the elite singer. So he went solo nineteen eighty six.
202
00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:01.639
That was a good Paul in his part. So he
203
00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:05.120
sold fifty million records Solo New Addition they sold half that. Now,

second wife in twenty twelve. They have a son and
209

00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:23.080

211
00:10:23.720 --> 00:10:24.000
Bobby.
212
00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:26.360

Country singer Sarah Evans is fifty five. She was born
217
00:10:53.799 --> 00:10:57.240
in Booneville, Missouri, in nineteen seventy one. Some of Sarah's
218
00:10:57.279 --> 00:10:59.879
number one songs are Burned to Fly, SuDS in a bucket,
219
00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:02.519
A little Bit Stronger, A real fine place to start.
220
00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:04.600
Now she is going out on tour at the beginning
221
00:11:04.600 --> 00:11:06.960
of April. Funit checks the stair out Now. She had
222
00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:08.799
three children from her first saisband, and she married her
223
00:11:08.799 --> 00:11:11.200
second husband in two thousand and eight. No, they are
224
00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:14.159
still together. They never did divorce. Now, Sarah says, that
225
00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:16.720
does not reflect what other women should do. Even though
226
00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:18.320
her husband tried to run her over with a car,
227
00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:20.600
she forgave him and that's not something that every woman
228
00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:22.240
should do. They should have to make their own decisions.
229
00:11:23.559 --> 00:11:24.200
Thank you, Sarah.
230
00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:25.200
All right.

00:11:25.320 --> 00:11:27.360
