00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:23.039
Welcome to history and factoids about today. I am Jeff.

2
00:00:23.079 --> 00:00:24.760
Today's February of the seventh.

3
00:00:26.600 --> 00:00:40.399
Alfredo el Bredo, Elfredo, Alfredo, Elfredo, Elfredo, Alfredo, el Bredo,

el Bredo, el Bredo, el Bredo Alfrado.

5
00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:49.280
Today is National Fedcini Alfredo Day. Now Italy is Alfredo

6
00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:52.079
de la Leo. He created nineteen oh eight. He made

7
00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:54.039
it for his pregnant wife. She couldn't seem to keep

8
00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:56.640
anything down, so he came up with Fedcini Alfredo. She

9
00:00:56.840 --> 00:01:00.600
absolutely loved it. So he put his butter, every cream

10
00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:05.560
parmesan mixture over Feticcini Boston and his menu restaurant since

11
00:01:05.599 --> 00:01:07.879
then Fetiini Alfreda. That's pretty much a mainstay on every

12
00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:10.719
Italian restaurant. But you can put mushrooms and shrimp and

13
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:13.560
spinach in there whatever you like. Now, if you really

14
00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:16.439
want to enjoy a Fetinia Alfredo, they say the best

15
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:18.719
way to do it is with a glass of white

16
00:01:18.719 --> 00:01:23.560
wine and to have fruit for desserts. Now, olive garden carabas.

17
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:25.159
Now a bunch of you local restaurant are all having

18
00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:28.359
deals today. Now if that doesn't sound good, Today is

19
00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:32.280
also National ice Cream for Breakfast Day. Yeah, tight, you

20
00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:34.680
might like that one, all right? This Who's going on

21
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:37.400
entertainment on February seven, It's back. In nineteen sixty six,

22
00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:40.239
No one album was rubber sold by the Beatles, but

23
00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:42.480
Tulacark had the number once on with My Love.

24
00:01:43.319 --> 00:01:49.680
My wal Some Shine, somet My Love, The.

25
00:01:52.159 --> 00:02:02.280
Machine Wine Sky Star Shines read nine and there is

26
00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:05.599
in this world can ever change?

27
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:10.280
Jack Green had the number one country song with there

28
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:11.639
Goes My Everything.

29
00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:12.199
There Go.

30
00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:19.520
ALMD the.

31
00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:30.599
Ree.

32
00:02:33.719 --> 00:02:36.439
The number one book was The Source by James Mischner.

33
00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:40.479
Top movie was Doctor Shivago, a Russian doctor and poet.

34
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:42.360
Now he's married, but he falls in love with the

35
00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:45.000
political actor of his wife. Yeah. During World War One

36
00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:49.120
and the Russian Revolution, stars Omar Sharif, Julia, Christie Roth Stagger,

37
00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:53.400
Alec Guinness. Nineteen seventy four Mill Brooks. He premiered his

38
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:56.439
movie Blazing Saddles. He did at the Pickwick drive in

39
00:02:56.439 --> 00:02:58.960
in Burbank. Now everyone had to watch the movie sitting

40
00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:01.159
on the back of a horse. No cars were allowed,

41
00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:05.319
all right. What happened on in February the seventh, eighteen seventeen,

42
00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:07.840
Baltimore became the first American city to be lit up

43
00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:10.280
by gas street lamps. Yeah, they used the gas that

44
00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:14.319
came from coal. Eighteen fifty six in Tasmania, the island

45
00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:17.000
off Australia, first time in world history, they passed the

46
00:03:17.039 --> 00:03:19.960
law that elections would be held by secret ballot. Now

47
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:22.240
the first time the United States had a secret ballot

48
00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:26.000
for their election eighteen eighty four. Let's go back to Baltimore.

49
00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:28.240
Now this wasn't because of the gas street lamps. In

50
00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:30.800
nineteen oh four, I just caught a cigarette, started a

51
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:34.159
fire that became absolutely huge. Last of thirty one hours,

52
00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:37.159
burned eighty blocks. Now, fire departments all over the Eastern

53
00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:39.360
Seaborne rushed over there to try and help, as far

54
00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:41.599
asway to New York City. When they got there, they

55
00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:44.080
couldn't do anything. No one else's hoses would connect to

56
00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:45.960
the Baltimore's hydrants.

57
00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:46.639
Yeah.

58
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:49.439
See, back then, every city had their own fire department,

59
00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:52.879
and they had their own fire hydrants and their own hoses.

60
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:55.800
Nothing could ever get interchangeable. So that led to the

61
00:03:55.879 --> 00:03:58.919
national standard on fire hydrants. It's in use today every

62
00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:01.280
fire department hose of work in any city they go

63
00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:04.960
to to help with World War Two in nineteen forty three,

64
00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:08.120
United States began shoe rationing. Now you can only buy

65
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:10.520
three pairs of shoes a year. I know that doesn't

66
00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:13.719
really sound that unreasonable, but get this, we got everybody

67
00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:16.319
really upset. Shoes were only allowed to be made in

68
00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:21.120
four colors black white, town brown or Armory russet that

69
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:23.519
is a reddish brown. And women's hills they could be

70
00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:26.480
no longer than two and five eight inches. And men's

71
00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:29.199
sandals and golf shoes they were banned, so I really

72
00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:31.240
made them. Man, what if that an exception for kids? Though?

73
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:34.680
Now this guy has some big balls. Nineteen eighty four,

74
00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:38.480
United astronout Bruce McCandless he did a spacewalk from the

75
00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:42.399
Space Shuttle Challenger untethered, first time anyone has done that. Yeah,

76
00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:45.399
nothing connected him to the Space Shuttle, but honestly, don't

77
00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:46.199
you think it was probably a.

78
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:55.319
Bet doked joked jake shug this shiverf dakenna he left

79
00:04:55.399 --> 00:04:58.079
this shuverfday. We got simple tar he left.

80
00:04:58.079 --> 00:04:59.040
This shibf day.

81
00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:01.199
And you know you don't.

82
00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:04.920
Oh, okay, let's see it was born on February seventh.

83
00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:08.120
Writer Charles Dickens was born in Portsmouth, England, in eighteen

84
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:10.720
twelve his books have never been out of print. Over

85
00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:12.759
two hundred movies and TV shows have been based on

86
00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:15.720
his books. Something you might know of or Oliver Twist,

87
00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:19.759
The Christmas Carol, David Copperfield, the Teletoo Cities, Great Expectations,

88
00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:22.600
probably at least heard their titles now. Back in the day,

89
00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:26.120
Dickens was huge celebrity, probably more famous than most actress

90
00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:28.759
and singers are today now. He would go on world tours.

91
00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:31.000
He came to the United States twice. So what do

92
00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:32.759
you do is go to the town, their biggest theater,

93
00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:34.759
and then he would go on stage and just read

94
00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:36.600
his book to the sold out crowd. Yeah, the hardest

95
00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:39.519
ticket to get. Charles. He had married in eighteen thirty

96
00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:41.720
six and they had ten kids. That sounds like a

97
00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:44.839
rock star. He left his wife in nine eighteen fifty eight,

98
00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:47.240
hooked up with an eighteen year old actress. Sounds like

99
00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:50.720
a rock star during those days, though, the way it

100
00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:54.000
worked in politically and pretty much entertainment, that kind of

101
00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:56.480
Dickens was too famous to get a divorce, so nobody

102
00:05:56.519 --> 00:05:58.000
knew that he ever left his wife for that eighteen

103
00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:00.399
year old girl. He died from a stroke in eighteen

104
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:04.240
seventy at fifty eight years old, Are you old enough?

105
00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:04.399
Or?

106
00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:06.680
He watched reruns of the TV show Little House on

107
00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:09.560
the Prairie. That's where Melissa Gilbert played Laura Ingles and

108
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:12.360
Michael Landon played Paul. The show is based on the

109
00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:15.120
books by Loura Ingles Wilder, the Little House on the

110
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:18.319
Prairie book series now the real Lour Ingles. And she

111
00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:21.600
was born in Pipton County, Wisconsin in eighteen sixty seven.

112
00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:24.160
The books are based on where she grew up and

113
00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:26.720
how she grew up, but the stories are all fiction. Yeah,

114
00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:28.879
she made all those up. She got married in eighteen

115
00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:31.240
eighty five and they had two children, Laura. She died

116
00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:33.639
in nineteen fifty seven and ninety years old from diabetes.

117
00:06:34.759 --> 00:06:37.680
Actor James Spader. He's sixty six. He's born in Boston

118
00:06:37.720 --> 00:06:40.879
in nineteen sixty. His first big movie was Pretty in Pink,

119
00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:46.000
then Mannequin, Six Lives of Videotapes, Crash. He get really

120
00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:49.000
big on TV and The Practice in Boston Illegal. Then

121
00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:51.759
he played Red on Blacklist for ten years. Kind of

122
00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:54.319
funny a ball guy being called Red now James. He

123
00:06:54.360 --> 00:06:56.399
had two sons from his first wife. They divorced after

124
00:06:56.480 --> 00:06:59.120
seventeen years. He's been with his girlfriend since two thousand

125
00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:01.560
and two, and they have an You know that today

126
00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:03.800
is actually really slow day, so I just thought, you know,

127
00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:05.279
what the hell? I hope you all like Garth.

128
00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:09.079
Sometimes the craziest things in the world can happen.

129
00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:12.680
You can actually cut a song, they can actually put

130
00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:14.800
it on one of those little bit of this, They

131
00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:17.800
can take it to your radio station and it's then

132
00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:24.439
and only then you realize something's wrong. I didn't first

133
00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:25.560
notice it.

134
00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:27.600
I've blayed it, and I've blayed it, and it never

135
00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:29.279
hit me till all of a sudden. One day I

136
00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:31.720
was driving around back home and it became on the

137
00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:35.800
radio and I said, Garth, that's what I go buy

138
00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:41.199
back home this guard And I said, Garth, I said,

139
00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:44.279
would you handle this situation that way?

140
00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:45.560
I said.

141
00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:50.720
No, I don't think I would, So I.

142
00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:53.079
Hope you don't mind. But I had to go back

143
00:07:53.079 --> 00:07:54.720
and write a third verse for this song to make

144
00:07:54.759 --> 00:07:55.600
it a little bit more mean.

145
00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:59.399
If you know what I mean, give it the rockers.

146
00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:02.199
Like a sous row.

147
00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:07.480
I'll just snow me at all. Then I've been there.

148
00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:09.879
And everything.

149
00:08:10.199 --> 00:08:15.560
Oh, I'll just sing good night. E'll show myself to

150
00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:23.040
the door. Name the Cow's a big scene. Just wait

151
00:08:23.199 --> 00:08:29.240
till I finished his last six three may but.

152
00:08:29.360 --> 00:08:29.879
Into the.

153
00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:33.000
You can't chance.

154
00:08:36.120 --> 00:08:39.200
Garth. It's actually his middle name. His first name is Troil,

155
00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:42.159
so he's Troil. Garth Brooks born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in

156
00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:45.799
nineteen sixty two, sixty four years old today. Now, I'm

157
00:08:45.799 --> 00:08:49.080
not talking records. Records are singles. I'm talking albums. Garth

158
00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:51.399
has sold over one hundred and fifty seven million albums.

159
00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:53.759
That is only behind the Beatles, who sold one hundred

160
00:08:53.759 --> 00:08:56.200
and eighty three million albums for all time. Yeah, Garth

161
00:08:56.200 --> 00:08:58.759
has sold more albums than Elvis and Michael Jackson, but

162
00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:02.240
they're singles killing a lot more now. Garthium and his

163
00:09:02.279 --> 00:09:04.080
first wife there are married for fifteen years and they

164
00:09:04.120 --> 00:09:06.799
had three daughters. Garth married country singer trishay Yearwood in
