00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:22.600
Welcome to history and facto. It's about today. I am
2
00:00:22.679 --> 00:00:46.399
Jeff Day's January, the twenty first spaside. Today is National
3
00:00:46.479 --> 00:00:50.520
Mariachi Day. Now, that song I played is el son
4
00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:53.200
di la Nigra. It is the number one mariachi song
5
00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:56.399
of all time. Marri giachi music. It began in western
6
00:00:56.439 --> 00:00:59.399
Mexico in the later eighteen hundreds. Now that's a blending
7
00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:02.520
of foreign and indigenous music. Start out as party music, yeah,
8
00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:05.319
just for weddings and birthdays at fiestas. But then after
9
00:01:05.359 --> 00:01:08.439
the Mexican Revolution in the early nineteen hinders, the upper
10
00:01:08.439 --> 00:01:11.760
class Mexicans and the government people, they declared that mariachi
11
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:14.719
should be high class music. So band members they had
12
00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:17.920
to start dressing up and fitted or animated pants and
13
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:21.879
jackets and embroidered belts, white bow ties, some burrows. Now
14
00:01:21.879 --> 00:01:23.680
there is no lead singer in a mariachi band. They're
15
00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:26.480
all supposed to take turns. Today should be easy to celebrate.
16
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:28.439
We can just go to a Mexican restaurant that plays
17
00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:31.280
mariachi music, listen to music, drink servases, take a couple
18
00:01:31.319 --> 00:01:34.480
of shots at tequila. Call in sick tomorrow. All right,
19
00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:36.879
this is going on Entertainment on January twenty first. Back

The top movie was The Exorcist, when a young girl

has possessed her mom gets two Catholic priests to help
33
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:44.319
her out. Stars Ellen Burston, Maximan Sidrow, and Linda Blir.
34
00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:48.719
What Happened On January the twenty first, seventeen eighty nine,
35
00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:51.800
the first American novel was published, The Power of Sympathy
36
00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:54.840
by William Hill Brown. That was the first novel written
37
00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:58.039
in Brintan here in America. So what's it about? Well,
38
00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:01.240
the main character she really struggles, but it warns women
39
00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:04.560
about giving into passions, warns them about the dangers of
40
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:08.159
seduction and the importance of women's morality written by a
41
00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:12.120
guy seventeen ninety three. During the French Revolution, King Louis
42
00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:15.479
the sixteen he was guillotine. He was convicted of high trees.
43
00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:17.960
And yeah, now his wife Marie Antoinette, Yeah, she won't
44
00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:21.360
lose her head in for nine more months. Now, this
45
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:24.879
was really smart. In eighteen eighty in Memphis, Tennessee, they
46
00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:27.039
installed the first sewer system that was separate from the
47
00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:29.360
storm drains. So, yeah, he didn't have crap running down
48
00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:32.039
the streets. Nineteen oh eight, in New York City, the
49
00:03:32.039 --> 00:03:34.919
city council they passed the Sullivan Ordinance. It made it
50
00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:38.000
illegal for women to smoke in public. Now, the very
51
00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:40.960
next day, Katie McKay, she was popped for it. Now
52
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:42.879
she wouldn't pay her five dollar ticket, so she was
53
00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:45.719
thrown into jail. Now that five dollar ticket be hundred
54
00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:48.120
seventy five bucks today. Now, Katie, she was the only
55
00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:51.159
woman ever arrested for it. The mayor even vetoed the
56
00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:53.800
bill after like two weeks. So why would they pass
57
00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:56.080
such a thing. Well, the men on the city council,
58
00:03:56.120 --> 00:04:00.199
they felt that women smoking was unseemly and immoral in US.
59
00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:03.199
In nineteen thirty four Henry Littier. He was a baker
60
00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:05.919
and a student of medieval life. Now he was sentenced
61
00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:07.800
to three months in jail and find fifty francs for
62
00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:10.479
curlity to his wife. He forced his wife, Juliette, to
63
00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:13.120
wear a chastity belt after he cut her cheating on him. Now,
64
00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:14.919
the court said they would have kind of let him off,
65
00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:17.759
but he'd done the same thing two years earlier, so yeah,
66
00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:19.600
now they had to come down hard on him. Too bad.
67
00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:22.160
Henry didn't know the truth. The truth is that women
68
00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:24.839
never wore testy belts. Nope, they didn't even exist in
69
00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:28.319
the Middle Ages. Yeah, everything was all a myth. So actually,
70
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:30.560
if you go to pretty much any museum, almost all
71
00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:32.800
chastity belts have been removed and they know they're all fake.
72
00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:36.920
Nineteen sixty eight, a fire started on a US Air
73
00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:39.600
Force B fifty two bomber. Now it was flying off
74
00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:42.439
of Greenland. The crew, six of them, parachute out safely.
75
00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:44.600
One was skilled. But the bigger problem was there are
76
00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:47.399
four nuclear bombs on that plane. Now, the bomber had
77
00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:49.279
crashed in the c ice off of the coast, and
78
00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:51.800
obviously the bombs didn't explode. It. We had heard about that,
79
00:04:52.319 --> 00:04:54.720
but they did release measurable ounce of radiation, so that
80
00:04:54.759 --> 00:05:02.439
really pissed off the Walruses. It was today. In nineteen
81
00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:05.439
seventy two at the Statler Hilton Hotel in New York City,
82
00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:08.720
the first Star Trek Convention was held. Over three thousand
83
00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:12.639
truck he showed up. Nineteen seventy seven, President Jimmy Carton
84
00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:15.720
he Harder and pretty much all the Vietnam Draft dodgers
85
00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:18.560
from nineteen sixty four to nineteen seventy three, around five
86
00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:21.240
hundred thousand guys. Yeah, we'll call them guys. They dodged
87
00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:23.560
the draft. And if you diede the draft by going
88
00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:26.759
to Canada, yeah, your slate was white clean. Carver pardoned you.
89
00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:29.040
You were good. But if you were in the military
90
00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:31.079
and you went a well, yeah, you were still in
91
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:32.720
a whole lot of trouble. He didn't pardon them.
92
00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:38.120
Wait a minute, Wait a minute, gosh, are you telling
93
00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:39.600
me you built a time machine?
94
00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:42.519
Kind of a DeLorean.
95
00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:46.560
Nineteen eighty one up in Northern Ireland they started making
96
00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:49.399
the sports car. The DeLorean only made nine thousand of
97
00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:52.439
them before they went bankrupt. Now, despite the fact that
98
00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:55.160
the Laurien looks really cool. Yeah, it wasn't much of
99
00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:57.800
a sports car at all. It's engine wasn't very powerful,
100
00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:00.680
it wasn't fast. No, the spidam a on the Delarean
101
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:02.519
only went up to eighty five miles an hour. I
102
00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:04.000
know what you're thinking, you have to get to eighty
103
00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:06.160
eight and order to time travel. But if you watch
104
00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:08.480
the movies, when they get up to eighty five miles
105
00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:11.040
or eighty eight miles an hour, it isn't on the sphedometer. No,
106
00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:13.160
it's always on the AD digital readout next to the sphenometer.
107
00:06:13.399 --> 00:06:16.439
Because this Paedomera only went to eighty five. Now, the Delarean,
108
00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:18.240
it wasn't like a Porsche or Ferrari. It was more
109
00:06:18.279 --> 00:06:20.560
like a fourth Pinto that cost twenty five thousand dollars
110
00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:23.439
about eighty thousand a day. It was a cold day
111
00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:26.040
in the Carolina is in nineteen eighty five, Caesar said,
112
00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:28.759
South Carolina got down to negative nineteen Mount Mitchell in
113
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:31.720
the North Carolina negative thirty to thirty four. Yeah, still
114
00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:35.560
both records. Nineteen eighty six, in Indiana, over one hundred
115
00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:38.759
participated in the New Olympics thirty eight degree weather. That
116
00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:41.800
would really suck if you lost by a hair now.
117
00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:44.279
In her trial in nineteen ninety four, the Orina Bobbitt,
118
00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:46.800
she was found temporarily insane when she cut off her
119
00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:50.000
sleeping husband's penis. So that made her night not guilty. Yeah,
120
00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:50.600
she got.
121
00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:56.360
Off coke, cokedjat shower.

00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:38.519
He just kind of shaved it. The rest of his life.
137
00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:40.800
He had a daughter from his first wife, and two
138

He was absolutely huge on British TV in the nineteen seventies.
146
00:08:04.519 --> 00:08:06.680
United States wouldn't have Am on air. No, they wouldn't
147
00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:08.720
near him. Nineteen eighties they kind of let their guard

started broadcasting from there. See in Mexico, you weren't controlled
163
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:55.840
by the FCC, so you could broadcast whatever you want
164
00:08:55.879 --> 00:08:58.360
and at whatever power you wanted. So at night he
165
00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:00.639
