Poo comedy comedy stuff He's bear.
5
00:00:31.559 --> 00:00:36.479
Today is National Winnie the Pooh Day. It is writer A.
6
00:00:36.759 --> 00:00:39.240
Milne's birthday. He was born in eighteen eighty two over
7
00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:42.759
in England. Today we celebrate his greatest creation, Winnie the Poop,
8
00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:44.880
the first twinning of the Pooh book. He came out
9
00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:47.880
in nineteen twenty six. Winnie he was inspired by a
10
00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:49.960
real bear who was a Canadian black bear that lived
11
00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:53.119
in London Zoo named Winnie. Yeah, it was a girl. Now.
12
00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:55.439
All the other characters though in the stories, they were
13
00:00:55.479 --> 00:00:57.640
all based on stuffed animals that his son had, you know,
14
00:00:57.759 --> 00:01:00.079
like e R and Big Lid and Digger, yeah, the
15
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:02.520
rest of them. Now the son is Christopher Robb and
16
00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:05.120
he was in some of the Pooh stories. Now the
17
00:01:05.239 --> 00:01:08.319
forest it was based on the forest outside of Sussex, England. Now,
18
00:01:08.359 --> 00:01:10.239
as cold as it is outside today, it'd be a
19
00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:13.239
good day to binge watch Winnie the Pooh and throwing
20
00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:15.239
some books and read some books and binge watch winning
21
00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:17.760
the pool. That'd be pretty good. Just enjoy Winnie the Pooh. See,

they can't in China. No, everything with Winnie the Pooh
23
00:01:20.599 --> 00:01:22.680
has been banned in China. Some of the people over
24
00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:24.840
in China, they think that their leader she's jung ping.
25
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:27.200
They think he looks like Winnie the Pooh. When word
26
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:29.400
got back to him about it, he banned everything to
27
00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:33.000
do with Winnie the Pooh. No bucks, no movies, no merchandise. Yeah,
28
00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:34.920

He talked to his team of husky as he must
36
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:23.199
roll through the snow with the Northern lights running wild.
37
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:24.680
In the land of the midnights.
38
00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:30.719
Yes, Samcord was a moody man. And the US nineteen one,
39
00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:36.120
where the rever is fine and picking up against them,
40
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:39.800
Find and Not to Alaska.
41
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:43.800
The number one book was Hawaii by James Mitchener. The
42
00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:47.039
top movie was Swiss Family Robinson, a Swiss family the
43
00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:50.560
After survived being shipwrecked on a deserted island, stars John Mills,
44
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:54.879
Dorothy McGuire and James MacArthur. So what happened on January
45
00:02:54.919 --> 00:02:59.439
the eighteenth, fifteen thirty five. Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro. He
46
00:02:59.479 --> 00:03:02.319
founded the city of Lima Pereru. He named it see
47
00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:05.280
your Dad, Dela reyis as the city at King's locals
48
00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:07.199
they just called it Lima after the river that runs
49
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:10.479
through it. The first JFO seen in America was today
50
00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:12.919
in sixteen forty four. Now pretty much most of the
51
00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:15.199
people of Boston saw it. They saw two lives, so
52
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:17.319
sparks going back and forth between them as it flew
53
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:20.039
over the Boston Harbor. Now most of the people they
54
00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:21.919
were purting, and so they didn't drink. So you know
55
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:24.840
it must be true, right, Well, that's actually a big lie,
56
00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:28.360
despite what you may have heard. Yeah, the Puritans they
57
00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:32.039
were luscious. Yeah, they drank a lot. They loved their alcohol.
58
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:34.960
They just didn't like people being drunk in public. Say,
59
00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:37.520
when their ships arrived in Boston in sixteen thirty the
60
00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:39.599
manifest on their ships It said that they brought in
61
00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:42.360
ten thousand gallons of beer, twelve gallons of gin, and
62
00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:44.520
one hundred and twenty casks. Yeah, that was to make
63
00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:48.879
malt liquor after they got there. Now they believed alcohol
64
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:51.639
was a gift from God, but drunkenness, yeah, that was
65
00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:54.080
a sin all right. Back to the original story. No
66
00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:56.240
one knows what in the hell they actually saw over there,
67
00:03:56.280 --> 00:03:58.199
but I think we can roll out airplanes, drones and
68
00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:02.280
weather balloons. Seventy eight, Britain's captain James Cook, him and
69
00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:04.960
his ships became the first Europeans to find the Hawaiian Islands.
70
00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:08.680
They renamed them the Sandwich Islands in honor of John Montague,
71
00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:10.639
the Earl of Sandwich. He was the guy was paying
72
00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:13.319
for the whole expedition. Hawaiians. Yeah, they didn't let us stick.
73
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:17.079
Seventeen eighty eight, the first ship sent from Britain arrived
74
00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:20.079
over in Bideny Bay in Australia. Yeah, the British brought
75
00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:24.160
or they they brought the first seven hundred and thirty
76
00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:26.600
six British convicts there. Yeah, and they started that penal
77
00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:29.480
Connelly Breton. They would send convicts to Australia for eighty
78
00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:32.160
years until eighteen sixty eight, over one hundred and sixty
79
00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:34.720
two thousand of them actually survived the voyage there. Now,
80
00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:36.800
there were nineteen crimes that you could get sent to
81
00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:39.040
Australia for committing. Now most of them were things like
82
00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:41.879
a larceny and stealing and all that kind of stuff.
83
00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:43.360
But one of the crimes that get you sent to
84
00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:47.879
Australia as if he impersonated an Egyptian. Nineteen eleven, American's
85
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:50.600
Eugenie Italy. He became the first pilot to land an
86
00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:53.279
airplane on a ship. Yeah, he landed his plane on
87
00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:55.920
the USS Pennsylvania. Yes, he was trying to do it.
88
00:04:56.240 --> 00:04:58.560
See they had cable stretched across the deck and they
89
00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:01.759
attached those cables the sandbag his playing had a hook underneath,
90
00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:04.120
and yeah, it stopped him in thirty feet Eugenie. He
91
00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:05.680
was also the first pilot to take off from a
92
00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:07.920
ship a year earlier that he landed on shore. After that,
93
00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:11.199
during World War Two, the people here in America, they
94
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:14.560
endured a lot. I mean they had to deal with gas, coffee,
95
00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:18.399
rubber meat, sugar rationing and all that stuff. But in
96
00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:21.199
nineteen forty three, the government they announced they were banning
97
00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:24.160
sliced bread. They thought they wanted to conserve the metal
98
00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:26.399
parts that were being used on the bread slicing machines
99
00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:28.879
and sliced bread. He used a lot thicker wrapping to
100
00:05:28.920 --> 00:05:29.879
keep it from drying out.
101
00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:31.000
So that was it.
102
00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:35.680
Yep, they weren't gonna take it anymore. With the America's
103
00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:38.480
got they'd had enough. See they were going they went
104
00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:42.360
ape shit, and so finally the government, Yeah, they stopped
105
00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:45.920
banning sliced bread after six weeks. The government banned rationing
106
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:50.160
gas for almost three years. Nineteen thirty in wats, Oklahoma
107
00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:52.399
set their state record. They got down to negative twenty
108
00:05:52.439 --> 00:05:56.240
seven degrees. Nineteen eighty one, Phil Smith and Phil Millyfield
109
00:05:56.439 --> 00:05:59.519
they jumped off a Houston skyscraper. They became the first
110
00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:04.040
at base jump off all four categories of base jumping buildings, cliffs, bridges,
111
00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:06.560
and an tennis. So what do you think the lowest
112
00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:09.199
height is that you can actually base jump from two
113
00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:11.839
hundred feint Any lower than that in the parishant won't open,
114
00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:16.000
so they consider it suicide. Brazilian surfer Maya gabri Rhea.
115
00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:18.720
She was born she was in Portugal in twenty eighteen.
116
00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:21.160
She ended up surfing the largest wave ever by a
117
00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:27.240
woman who was sixty eight feet high. Joke joked, joke,
118
00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:31.800
shog thish, shiverf day's gonna pause. He left this shiverf day.
119
00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:33.000
We won't simple page.
120
00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:34.519
He let this shibirf day.
121
00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:35.720
You don't do.
122
00:06:37.720 --> 00:06:40.800
Well. Let's see it's born on January the eighteenth. Now,
123
00:06:40.839 --> 00:06:43.959
when Alexander Graham Bell made that first phone call, he said,
124
00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:46.560
mister Watson, come here, I want to see you. Now.
125
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:48.959
His assistant was twenty two year old Thomas Watson. He
126
00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:51.439
was in the next room now, Thomas Watson. He is
127
00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:54.160
going to Salem, Massachusetts in eighteen fifty four. But he
128
00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:57.839
wasn't just an assistant Watson. He actually invented the telephone ringer.
129
00:06:58.240 --> 00:06:59.800
I know what goods the telephone? If you don't know
130
00:06:59.839 --> 00:07:02.560
what ringing? Right? Then Watson. He left Bell when he
131
00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:04.160
was only twenty seven years old. He took all his
132
00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:07.040
royalty money, started up a shipyard, ended up being one
133
00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:09.360
of the longest, largest shipyards in the world. He made
134
00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:11.639
like navy shifts and destroyers and that kind of stuff.
135
00:07:11.879 --> 00:07:14.720
So he became a very very rich guy even without
136
00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:18.000
his phone money. In nineteen fifteen, Bell he made the
137
00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:20.920
first trans continental telephone call. See that first one was
138
00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:23.120

139
00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:25.920

00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:28.279
York City. He called the San Francisco Watson. Yeah, he
141
00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:30.759
answered the phone. Found that one too, Watson.
142
00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:31.319
He married.
143
00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:33.360
