WEBVTT

1
00:00:10.039 --> 00:00:13.000
Hi everybody. I am Jeff and
welcome to history. In fact too,

2
00:00:13.080 --> 00:00:16.519
it's about to day past about cool
media. It is January the twenty ninth.

3
00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:20.519
I love to eat corn chips.
When I buy a big bag,

4
00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:25.559
it says that it serves eight people, but I eat the entire back of

5
00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:33.640
corn chips all in one city.
I can't get over how good corn chips

6
00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:39.840
are. It is National corn Chip
Day. Corn chips they are different from

7
00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:44.280
tortilla chips. Now both are made
from cornmeal, but tortilla chips they're actually

8
00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:47.840
soaked in a lime water solution to
break down the halls. Corn chips aren't,

9
00:00:47.960 --> 00:00:51.640
so they're sturdier and have a stronger
corn flavor. It all began back

10
00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:55.119
in nineteen thirty two, back when
they were called Fredo's. This day James

11
00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:57.920
Dolan, he bought the recipe for
him, costing one hundred bucks. Turn

12
00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:00.119
the whole thing into a huge empire. Yeah, whether you ate your corn

13
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:03.960
chips and freedom pies, or you
dip them, or you eat them out

14
00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:07.079
of the bag and just enjoy yourself
some corn chips today. All right,

15
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:10.200
this is going on in entertainment on
January the twenty ninth. Let's back to

16
00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:12.840
nineteen ninety one. Number one album
was To the Extreme by Vanilla Ice.

17
00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:29.439
Surface had the number one song with
the first Time Into Your Eyes First Time.

18
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:38.959
Paul over Street had the number one
country song with Daddy Came Around,

19
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:46.879
Daddy's Coming Around, Mama's Way,
Thank You, No more staying at home,

20
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:53.640
not drink every thanks better on the
home run. Now leave me in

21
00:01:53.719 --> 00:02:01.439
the metal worrying dude, He's got
something worth. The number one book was

22
00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:06.120
Cold Fire by Dean Cots. The
top movie was Home Alone. A kid

23
00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:09.120
gets left home alone and asks to
battle some burglars, stars McCauley, Calkin,

24
00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:13.400
Joe Peshey and Daniel Stern. All
right, let's see what happened in

25
00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:15.960
the world. On January of the
twenty ninth, fifteen ninety five. Over

26
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:20.400
there in London, England, William
Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet was performed for

27
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:23.240
the very first time. Yeah.
They did the play two years before the

28
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:25.879
book was published. Now you know
that Juliet was originally played by a guy,

29
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:30.039
right, Yeah, it was illegal
for women to act on stage until

30
00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:32.680
sixteen sixty one. Over there,
now, back in the day in Scotland,

31
00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:37.560
Robert Burns he was the man.
He was Scotland's most famous poet and

32
00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:40.439
their famous writer, one of Scotland's
most famous people of all time. He's

33
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:45.879
really a favorite son of Scotland.
Well, it was eighteen sixty two.

34
00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:49.680
It was a few years after Burns
had died. Now the Mother's Club in

35
00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:53.439
Greenock, Scotland, they decided to
celebrate Burns's birthday. Yeah, they held

36
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:55.800
the first ever Burns Night. Now, it was such a huge success.

37
00:02:55.840 --> 00:03:00.479
It's spread all over the country of
Scotland. It became a unofficial national holiday.

38
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:05.560
So the way they'd celebrate is they'd
have a hearty Scottish meal, then

39
00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:07.879
they'd drink whiskey and read his poems
and sing his songs. Yeah, it

40
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:13.360
was a huge They still celebrated today. So today they celebrated on January twenty

41
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:15.840
fifth, not the twenty ninth.
See somewhere along the line somebody realized that

42
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:19.639
they were celebrating on the wrong day. Burns was born on the twenty fifth,

43
00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:23.199
not the twenty ninth. Eighteen forty
five, one of America's most famous

44
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:28.199
poems, the Raven by ed groungpo
It was published. It was a printed

45
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:53.159
in a newspaper called The Evening mirror. Well, Happy birthday, Kansas.

46
00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:55.560
It was today. In eighteen sixty
one, Kansas became the thirty fourth state

47
00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:00.000
Kansas. It's a Sioux Indian word
that means southward, the south wind people.

48
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:04.680
Its capital is Topeka. Highest point
is Mount Sunflower at four thosy forty

49
00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:09.319
one feet now. We actually climbed
Mount Sumfire a couple of years ago.

50
00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:12.879
Actually, it's just the highest point
in a pasture across the border from Colorado.

51
00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:15.479
You know, they got a really
nice marker show on the highest point

52
00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:17.079
in Kansas. So the only thing
that's kind of tough to do, though,

53
00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:19.480
is they have a bull that lives
in that pasture. He kind of

54
00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:25.560
makes it a little leery, all
right. The Kansas state bird is the

55
00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:29.279
meadow arc. The flower is the
wild sunflower. Mammal is the bison.

56
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:32.800
Reptile is the orange box turtle tree
as the prarie cottonwoo. Some people who

57
00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:36.079
are born in Kansas. Dorothy was

58
00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:40.800

59
00:04:40.920 --> 00:04:44.399
her parents died and so she was
taken to Kansas to be raised by her

60
00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:46.600
