00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:24.879

Now.
14
00:00:56.240 --> 00:00:58.679
The first juicer it was made by doctor Norman Walker
15
00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:01.439
in the nineteen thirties. Now there are so many juices
16
00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:03.200
and blends. It's harder to decide which one of those
17
00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:04.799
dibia verses what to put in it.
18
00:01:05.319 --> 00:01:05.439
Now.
19
00:01:05.480 --> 00:01:07.840
If you're still doing your New Year's resolution, yeah, good job,
20
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:09.959
keep it up now. If you need to get back

00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:12.040
on track, today is a good day to start again.
22
00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:14.120
I just drink some green juice today. You know you

00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:17.200
always feel healthy just for drinking green juice. You're wondering

broccoli it's the Healthy as vegetable, all right list. He's
25
00:01:20.920 --> 00:01:23.840

26
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:26.599
ninety five, number one album was The Hits by Garth Brook.
27
00:01:27.239 --> 00:01:28.920
Boys to Man had the number one song with on

00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:32.400
Bended Knee.
29
00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:40.400
Somebody, Oh God.
30
00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:50.799
Jimmy Alan Jackson had the number one country song with
31
00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:51.560
God Country.
32
00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:56.719
So she packs her man to dry her hands. Jesus,
33
00:01:56.920 --> 00:02:00.920
mind me my last chance country.
34
00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:02.920
Look at him.
35
00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:09.520
She's gone country, back to her roots. She's gone country
36
00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:12.360
time as soon she's gone country.
37
00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:17.479
The number one book was politically correct Bedtime Stories by
38
00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:20.039
James Finn Garner. Top movie it was Legends of the
39
00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:23.159
Fall in the early nineteen hundreds. Three brothers and their
40
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:26.719
dad live in the remote Montana wilderness. Stars Brad Pitt,
41
00:02:26.759 --> 00:02:30.520
Aiden Quinn, Anthony Hopkins, Henry Thomas. All Right, what happened?
42
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:33.960
On January twenty sixth and seventeen hundred, a magnitude nine
43
00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:37.400
earthquake hit the northwest coast of America. You know the
44
00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:40.039
Oregon Washington area. Well, how do we know the only
45
00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:42.280
people in that area at that time were Native American
46
00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:44.520
Indians and they didn't write. Well, we know it from
47
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:48.000
the Japanese. That's right, Japanese records described the tsunami that
48
00:02:48.039 --> 00:02:51.800
earthquake created. Now, it was nineteen eighty four, and Benjamin
49
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:55.280
Franklin was pissed. He was writing letters and telling anyone
50
00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:57.719
who had listened to himbout how mad he was. See
51
00:02:57.719 --> 00:03:00.319
ben he usually got his way by not this, so
52
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:03.400
he was iraid whatever. Well, the bald eagle was chosen
53
00:03:03.439 --> 00:03:06.039
as the symbol for the United States of America. Ben
54
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:31.680
He wanted the turkey. Happy Birthday, Michigan today. In eighteen
55
00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:35.120
thirty seven, Michigan began the twenty sixth state. Michigan is
56
00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:38.319
a Chippewa word. It means great winter, great water. Now
57
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:41.439
outside of Alaska, Michigan has the most coastline of any state. Yeah,
58
00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:44.039
so I guess it's number one in the continental United States.
59
00:03:44.680 --> 00:03:47.520
Capitol of Michigan is Lansing. Highest point is Mount Arvon
60
00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:50.560
at one thousand, nine and seventy eight feet sides. Why
61
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:53.120
is this the eleventh largest state in area as the
62
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:56.400
tenth most people in the population Michigan and the state
63
00:03:56.479 --> 00:04:00.360
bird is the robin? Fish is the brook trout is
64
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:04.000
apple blossom, mammal, white tailed deer tree is the eastern
65
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:08.000
White Pine. Some people born in Michigan, Tom Selleck, Ted Nugent,
66
00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:13.439
Burt Reynolds, Bob Seeger, Christy Brinkley, Alice Cooper, Diana Ross,
67
00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:16.439
Stevie Wonder, Madonna, just some of the people born in
68
00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:20.319
the Wolverine State. Eighteen thirty eight, Tennessee became the first
69
00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:24.879
state to ban alcohol. Yeah, they passed the first prohibition bill. Yeah,
70
00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:27.480
they made it a misdemeanor to sell any alcohol anywhere,
71
00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:30.000
whether it was a store in person or a tavern.
72
00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:33.240
Nineteen oh five, in South Africa they found the largest
73
00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:35.959
diamond ever. It was four inches long, two and a
74
00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:38.639
half inches wide and two inches deep. It was three
75
00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:41.720
one and six carrots. Now King Edward of England he
76
00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:43.600
bought it for nineteen million dollars. When they got it
77
00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:45.319
back to England, they had no idea to what to
78
00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:47.439
do that big ass thing, so they cut it into
79
00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:49.480
nine diamonds. Now two of them are still in the
80
00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:53.839
England's Crown Jewels. Seven are owned by private individuals. London.
81
00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:56.360
In nineteen twenty six, John Logi Bear he gave the
82
00:04:56.360 --> 00:04:59.560
first public demonstration of television, the public gotta watch a
83
00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:03.519
puppet sho Now, this was nineteen thirty two. And remember
84
00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:06.360
that prohibition was still going on in the United States.
85
00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:08.680
So Winston Churchill he did not have a job back
86
00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:10.480
in Britain, so he came to the United States to
87
00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:12.360
make some money. Yeah, he did a lecture tour. He
88
00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:14.560
went from city to city. Not well. While he was
89
00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:16.240
in New York City, he went to cross the street
90
00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:18.480
on Fifth Avenue. When he stepped out the curb, he
91
00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:22.120
got hit by a car. Yeah, so he said, Now,
92
00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:24.399
he said it was his fault. He took word for it.
93
00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:25.920
He said he looked the wrong way. He forgot the
94
00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:27.839
cars over here drive on the right side of the road.
95
00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:31.240
So in order to continue his lecture tour, he had
96
00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:34.279
a doctor write him in a prescription for alcohol. The
97
00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:37.079
prescription read that he should take alcohol with every meal
98
00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:40.040
and as needed to help deal with the pain. You
99
00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:43.240
know what, Winston Churchill was a pretty smart guy. So
100
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:45.480
any guesses on what president had the first woman as
101
00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:48.279
a personal position, Now I would have thought, yeah, I
102
00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:50.240
would have thought Clinton too, But now we're close. John F.
103
00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:53.680
Kennedy nineteen sixty one. He named Janet Trevelle as his
104
00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:57.839
personal physician. Nineteen seventy two. A twenty three year old
105
00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:01.360
Serbian airplane stewardess. Her name was Vesna Vulvic. She said
106
00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:03.360
a world record that still stands today. She fell a
107
00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:06.480
little over thirty three thousand feet in altitude, that's almost
108
00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:09.800
six miles high up. She lived, Yep. She was supposed
109
00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:11.439
to have her day off, as she agreed to work
110
00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:14.439
a flight from Copenhagen to Belgrain Well. A bomb in
111
00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:17.319
a suitcase and the luggage department exploded blew the plane
112
00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:20.360
into several pieces. Everybody down the plate was killed either
113
00:06:20.399 --> 00:06:21.839
by the blast or they were sucked down of the
114
00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:25.040
plane except Vesner. Nope, she got pinned in the tail
115
00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:27.399
section in by a food cart. Now as a plane
116
00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:30.040
plumbing into the earth, she couldn't move. So when the
117
00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:32.360
plane hit the ground that tail section that she was in,
118
00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:35.000
it hit in deep snow and heavy trees, and it
119
00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:37.439
hit just the right angle to keep her from going splat.
120
00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:40.639
That local villager actually found her. Yeah, his name was
121
00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:43.319
Bruno Hunky. Now get this Bruno, he just happened to
122
00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:45.160
have been in Meta during World War two, so he
123
00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:47.399
was able to keep her alive until her rescue crews arrived.
124
00:06:47.879 --> 00:06:49.800
She broke almost every bone in her body from her
125
00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:51.920
skull down to her feet. She was in a coma
126
00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:53.959
for three days. Look get this, she was able to
127
00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:56.600
walk again ten months with the limp. I mean she
128
00:06:56.600 --> 00:06:58.079
walked with a limp for the rest of her life.
129
00:06:58.120 --> 00:07:00.560
See her spine had been twisted. She lived and toil.
130
00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:02.399
She was sixty six years old. She ended up dying
131
00:07:02.439 --> 00:07:04.720
from heart failure. They never did figure out who put
132
00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:05.519
the bomb on the plane.
133
00:07:07.319 --> 00:07:12.920
Dop Co joked, joke, huge dish Shibbert day.
134
00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:13.959

And you know you don't give up.

00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:21.600
Well.
140
00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:24.360
He was born on January the twenty sixth. Have you
141
00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:27.199
seen the movie or read the book Unbroken? It's about
142
00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:30.560
Louis Zambernini Lewis. He was an Olympic runner, but he
143
00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:32.879
missed the Olympics because World War two broke out, So
144
00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:34.639
he ended up as a bomba deer on a bomber
145
00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:37.279
in the Pacific. Now, the bomber was shot down over
146
00:07:37.319 --> 00:07:39.519
the ocean, so he survived the parachute out and then
147
00:07:39.519 --> 00:07:42.240
he spent forty seven days days floating on a life raft.
148
00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:44.639
Then he was captured by Japanese and they had spent
149
00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:47.360
two years in a pow camp. It's actually a very
150
00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:48.240
inspirational story.
151
00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:48.879
Now.
152
00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:51.959

156
00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:03.040
ninety seven years old. Actor, director, and entrepreneur Paul Newman

00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:05.439
was born at Cleveland Heights, Ohio, in nineteen twenty five.
158
00:08:06.040 --> 00:08:08.199

00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:42.600
fifty years when he died in two thousand and eight
173
00:08:42.600 --> 00:08:44.200
at eighty three years old from lung cancer.
174
00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:47.399
Come on into the wind Up in his first offering,
175
00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:50.240
John the bit Outside.
176
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:53.480
He was known as mister Baseball Bob Ucker. He was
177
00:08:53.480 --> 00:08:56.200
born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in nineteen thirty nine. Now he
178
00:08:56.240 --> 00:08:59.000
played Major League Baseball for six season. Yeah, even won
179
00:08:59.039 --> 00:09:02.840
a World Series. His personal statistics were absolutely horrible. He
180
00:09:02.879 --> 00:09:05.960
had a lifetime batting average around two hundred. Now, he
181
00:09:06.039 --> 00:09:07.600
did stay in the big leagues for six years, so
182
00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:10.320
that counts for a lot. But he turned that futility
183
00:09:10.360 --> 00:09:12.720
into fan fame. In the nineteen seventies he did light
184
00:09:12.759 --> 00:09:14.720
beer commercial. Yeah, they would make fun of him on there,
185
00:09:14.960 --> 00:09:17.440
but that led to starting on the sitcom Mister Belvidere,
186
00:09:17.440 --> 00:09:20.320
and that did the Major League movies. Now he is
187
00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:22.639
in the Baseball Hall of Fame. But for announcing, see
188
00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:25.440
he called him Rocky Brewers games on the radio fifty
189
00:09:25.440 --> 00:09:27.360
four years and he was going to do a fifty
190
00:09:27.399 --> 00:09:30.759
fifth year, but he died before the season started last year. Yeah,
191
00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:32.679
he was ninety years old. He died from small cell
192
00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:36.360
lung cancer. Died ten days before his ninety first birthday. Now,
193
00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:42.399

first dozen, Jane. She died twenty twenty three at eighty
201
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:43.519
years old. Now I personally think he is. But if
202
00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:45.840
he isn't the greatest guitar player of all time, he's
203
00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:48.200
one of the greatest of all time. Eddie van Halen
