Today is pretty much for kids, but adults they can

10
00:00:49.479 --> 00:00:51.640
have fun with it. Kids are supposed to say things

11
00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:55.159
like vegetables are my favorite food, I love cleaning my room,

12
00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:58.240
I didn't hit my baby sister. Adults they're supposed to

13
00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:01.600
say things like I hate being Exercising is fun. I

14
00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:04.319

19
00:01:16.079 --> 00:01:18.599

21
00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:24.959

00:01:28.359 --> 00:01:54.560

29
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:16.680
Waited on the Corner.

30
00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:21.439
The top book was Franny and Zoe by J. D. Salinger.

31
00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:25.560
The top movie was El Sid Rodrigo Diaz Divavar. He

32
00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:28.039
was a fabled Spanish show. He was known as El

33
00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:31.280
Sid Now. He defended a Christian Spain against the Moors

34
00:02:31.719 --> 00:02:34.319
stars Trauton, Heston and Sofielder in So you know it

35
00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:37.039
was a long movie. Nineteen forty nine, the first Emmy

36
00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:40.120
Awards were held. It was at the Hollywood Athletic Club.

37
00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:43.039
Tickets for five bucks to get in. Now, those Emmy Awards,

38
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:45.639
they were just for TV in LA That's right. If

39
00:02:45.639 --> 00:02:47.759
you weren't on La TV, yep, you were't eligible for

40
00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:50.319
the first Emmy Awards. Wasn't until the fourth Emy Awards

41
00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:52.280
in nineteen fifty two that the Emmy Awards and they

42
00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:55.080
went national. Let's go back to nineteen forty nine and

43
00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:57.800
that first Amy Awards Shelley Dinsdale. She was the very

44
00:02:57.840 --> 00:02:59.919
first to win an Emmy. She got it for Best Tea.

45
00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:04.039
She was a ventriloquist. I won't see what happened on

46
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:07.479
January the twenty fifth, eighteen nineteen. Former United States President

47
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:10.919
James Thomas Jefferson. He up found the University of Virginia.

48
00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:13.599
If you ever wondered Jefferson, he went to William and

49
00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:17.719
Mary eighteen forty American Navy Captain True Wilkes. He was

50
00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:20.000
the first to figure out that Antarctica was a continent,

51
00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:23.000
not in an island. Eighteen seventy eight. It was the

52
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:25.479
first time a torpedo was used to sink a ship.

53
00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:28.080
A Russian Navy ship used a torpedo to sink a

54
00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:30.520
Turkish supprise ship that was anchored off the coast of

55
00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:33.400
the country of Georgia. Now it was during that Russia

56
00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:35.879
turks War. I know, I know some of your things. Hey,

57
00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:38.719
what about the USS Hunley in the American Revolution or

58
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:41.319
the American Civil War? The Honley suck that thing in

59
00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:44.400
South Carolina. Well, the Honley he used that mine, not

60
00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:47.520
a torpedo, and that's why he didn't get away. Nineteen

61
00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:50.159
twenty one, the word robot was used for the first time.

62
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:53.360
It was in the Czechoslovakian play Now all the play

63
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:56.240
it was about robots who were building robots, and then

64
00:03:56.280 --> 00:03:59.400
all the robots they turned against humanity. So not only

65
00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:02.240
did they interview robot, they also introduced the thirty of

66
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:05.599
pretty much every science fiction movie to come. Nineteen twenty four,

67
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:08.560
the first Winter Olympics began. They were held in Shamano Fronts.

68
00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:12.199
Not a lot of events bob sledding, cross country, skin curling,

69
00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:17.160
figure skating, ice hockey, ski jumping, speed skating. America's Charles

70
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:20.040
Jutra even won the first United States gold medal and

71
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:22.439
Winter Olympics when he won the five hundred meters speed skating.

72
00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:26.079
After that, Norway pretty much won every medal. Now, every

73
00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:29.720
event in those Lypics held outside, even figure skating. China.

74
00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:33.199
In nineteen forty four, Florence leaked tim Oway. She became

75
00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:36.680
the first woman ever to be ordained as an Anglican priest. Yeah,

76
00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:38.920
see Britain, they'd been in China for a long time,

77
00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:41.360
and so there were a lot of Angelican Christians living there.

78
00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:43.959
Then when Japan invaded China in World War two, Yeah,

79
00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:45.759
they started to run out of men who could be priests.

80
00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:48.120
So Florence was up. But then after the war they

81
00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:50.600
let her keep the name Praise, but yeah, they wouldn't

82
00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:52.920
let her practice as one anymore till nineteen seventy one.

83
00:04:52.920 --> 00:04:54.680
Then they said you could be a full fledged priest again.

84
00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:58.399
Nineteen forty five Grand Rapids, Michigan. They began the first city,

85
00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:00.879
but fluoride in their water. She had the residence and

86
00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:02.920
Grand Appas they of the worst teeth in the country.

87
00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:05.600
So then after a couple of years, yeah, they did

88
00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:08.680
a survey sixty to sixty five percent reduction in tooth

89
00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:11.639
the k and children. So it went to nationwide. Nineteen

90
00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:14.319
sixty four are the company Blue Rivet Sports was founded.

91
00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:17.360
It was in Oregon. They made running shows. Nineteen seventy

92
00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:20.160
one they changed their name to Nike. Nike is a

93
00:05:20.319 --> 00:05:23.240
Greek goddess for victory. She fought with Zeus in this

94
00:05:23.319 --> 00:05:26.199
battle against the Titans. Now, I don't know if the

95
00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:29.040
we're gross is right or not, or maybe creepy, but

96
00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:32.800
it just seems weird. Nineteen seventy four, doctor Christian Barnard,

97
00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:37.759
he performed the first heterotropic heart transplant, so they put

98
00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:41.399
the donor heart inside the just but you don't remove

99
00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:43.639
the old heart, so you got two hearts there. Just

100
00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:47.319
seems kind of weird to me. Let's go back to robots.

101
00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:50.879
Nineteen seventy nine, Robert Williams. He was the first person

102
00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:53.160
in the United States ever killed by a robot. Say

103
00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:55.680
he was working at the Ford Motor Plant in Michigan. Yeah,

104
00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:58.720
one ton mechanical arm took him out. Now I'm guessing

105
00:05:58.759 --> 00:06:00.639
it was a malfunction and he did and piss off

106
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:07.160
that arm. But by Chicona Wisha was the opposite day there, Huh, jope, joke.

107
00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:11.759

110
00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:23.199
