00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:36.360
We took the.
45
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:38.639
Little Bacon, and we took the little bean. Send me
46
00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:41.120

48
00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:46.120
wasn't n as many as there was Obama.
49
00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:49.120
The fired one small world and they began to run
50
00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:51.159
it down to Mississippi.
51
00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:51.680
To the gup of Mexico.
52
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:55.599
In eighteen fifteen and the War of eighteen twelve, the
53
00:02:55.599 --> 00:02:59.159
Battle of New Orleans was fired American General Andrew Jackson.
54
00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:02.319
He was defending New Orleans. Now that was vital. Whoever
55
00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:05.439
controlled New Orleans controlled the Mississippi River. But Jackson, he
56
00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:07.319
didn't really have much of an army. Yeah, most of
57
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:09.879
the US soldiers were kept up north to fight. So
58
00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:12.080
Jackson he had to go scrounging for some men to
59
00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:14.439
fight for him. Ended up with forty five hundred men
60
00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:17.560
when they didn't have any military experience, but they could shoot,
61
00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:20.479
and they knew the area very well. But Jackson realized
62
00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:22.759
he still was way outgunned by the British, so he
63
00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:24.960
made a deal with one of the notorious pirates, John
64
00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:26.680
la Fetite.
65
00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:27.080
Yeah.
66
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:29.159
The deal was that if Lafitte and all his men
67
00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:32.120
helped fight the British, Jackson guaranteed they would all receive
68
00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:35.280
a full parton for any of their past transgressions. Pyras said,
69
00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:38.319
duel Oh, the British attack, like everybody knew they were
70
00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:41.080
going to. Now, the British came ashore with over eight
71
00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:44.919
thousand well armed and well trained soldiers. Jackson is forty
72
00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:47.199
five on his squirrel hunters and some pirates put a
73
00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:49.759
whooping on those British soldiers like you would not believe
74
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:52.520
most lapside of battle in the entire war. Who one
75
00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:55.199
of the biggest lopside of battles in US history. Now,
76
00:03:55.199 --> 00:03:58.280
in that first half hour, the British lost three generals,
77
00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:01.560
seven colonels, seven other seven hundred other troops were killed,
78
00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:04.360
fourteen hundred were wounded, in five hundred were taken prisoners,
79
00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:06.479
seven fighting for America were killed.
80
00:04:07.159 --> 00:04:07.719
Yeah.
81
00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:10.159
Now an interesting side note here, Now the War of
82
00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:13.159
eighteen twelve, Yeah, it actually ended two weeks before that.
83
00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:13.680
That's right.
84
00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:16.360
Word hadn't come back from Europe butt and everybody know
85
00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:17.800
in New Orleans that the war was over.
86
00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:19.360
So oops.
87
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:22.560
Today in eighteen thirty five, Andrew Jackson was now President
88
00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:24.959
of the United States. Now he had a check cut
89
00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:27.959
that paid off the entire United States national debt. It
90
00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:30.319
is the only time in US history that our national
91
00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:35.959
debt read zero dollars. Washington eighteen okay, Washington, d c.
92
00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:40.160
In eighteen fifty three, the first bronze equestrian statue was unveiled.
93
00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:44.000
It was of Andrew Jackson. We're done with Andrew.
94
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:46.439
Nineteen oh two at New York State assembly man. His
95
00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:49.199
name was Francis Landon. He got a bill pass that
96
00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:51.920
made it illegal for men who are walking down the
97
00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:54.879
street in parentheses to turn around and look at a
98
00:04:54.879 --> 00:04:57.920
woman in that way. So basically a man could be
99
00:04:57.959 --> 00:05:02.120
fined five hundred dollars for flirting in public. You know that,
100
00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:04.240
dude to the dork. Now, it actually remained in law
101
00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:06.000
nun till twenty seventeen when they found it was still
102
00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:06.519
in the books.
103
00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:08.040
Now they won't tell her.
104
00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:10.839
They don't know if any guys were ever ticketed for it.
105
00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:11.839
Well, not to be outdone.
106
00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:14.639
In nineteen oh four, Pope Pious Attens he banned women
107
00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:17.720
from wearing low cut dresses in front of churchmen. Now
108
00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:19.920
everybody knew what he was talking about. But what makes
109
00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:22.680
it kind of funny? In nineteen oh four, men who
110
00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:26.519
were Episcopalia had they were called churchmen, that's what they named. Yeah,
111
00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:30.480
Catholic men didn't describe themselves that way. Nineteen thirty seven
112
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:34.800
and San Jacinto, Nevada, they hit the negative fifty degrees. Yeah,
113
00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:37.480
that's still the Nevada state record for colds temp. San
114
00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:40.360
Jacinto it's a ghost town nowadays. It's on the Oregon border.
115
00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:44.720
Nineteen seventy three, it was announced that secret peace docks
116
00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:47.079
were going to be taking place in Paris. Yeah, between
117
00:05:47.079 --> 00:05:50.839
the United States and North Korea. Nineteen ninety two, the
118
00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:55.519
Prime Minister Japan, he invited outgoing US President George H. W.
119
00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:57.600
Bush and his wife Barbara to come over to his

00:05:57.680 --> 00:05:59.959

121
00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:01.720

They accepted well.
123
00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:05.439
Today during the dinner, Bush he vomited on the Prime
124
00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:06.079
Minister's lab.
125
00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:10.079
Twenty twenty four. Are the United States Army veteran? This

127
00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:13.879
Ninety eight year old Robbie Robinson. During World War Two,
128
00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:16.959
he worked as a scout behind enemy lines. He fought
129
00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:19.000
in the Battle of the Bolds. He helped liberate the
130
00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:22.360
Mathausend and the Goosen concentrations camp. Then he worked as
131
00:06:22.360 --> 00:06:25.720
a guard during the Nuremberg Trials. Today in France, he
132
00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:28.800
they awarded him their Medal of Honor. Yeah, they said
133
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:30.560
that Robbie, they wanted to honor his service that he
134
00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:31.319
did during the war.
135
00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:33.160
Got an next lot. Robbie was not forgotten.

137
00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:42.920

140
00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:49.600
Okay.
141
00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:52.800
It was born on January the eighth. Gypsy rose Lee
142
00:06:52.839 --> 00:06:56.000
She was born in Seattle, Washington in nineteen eleven. Now
143
00:06:56.040 --> 00:06:59.240
she was the burlesque entertainment queen, which means she's the
144
00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:02.319
most famoustrip in history. Now, she was world famous in
145
00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:04.920
the nineteen thirties and forties. She couldn't sing and she
146
00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:07.879
couldn't dance, but she could strip like no other. I mean,
147
00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:10.680
if you ever wondered, yeah, I mean we're still talking
148
00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:13.839
about it ninety five years later, if you're just wondering.
149
00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:16.160
The stripper pole was actually invented in the nineteen twenties.
150
00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:18.160
And I don't know if Gypsy rose lea he was one,
151
00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:21.120
but whatever she did, it must have been something special. Now,
152
00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:23.879
she did get a couple of small roles in some movies,
153
00:07:24.120 --> 00:07:26.199
but she wanted to be the star of a movie,
154
00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:27.360
so she wrote her own movie.
155
00:07:27.439 --> 00:07:29.279
She called it The g String Murders.
156
00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:29.759
Wow.
157
00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:32.519
The movie a studio they thought that was a little
158
00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:35.240
risque and kind of blunt for nineteen forty one, so
159
00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:37.319
they changed the name to The Lady of Burleska, and
160
00:07:37.319 --> 00:07:39.319
then they had Barbara Stanwick star in the movie Really
161
00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:42.680
Pissed Gypsy Off. Gypsy divorced three times. She had a
162
00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:44.800
son during her second marriage, but not to her husband.
163
00:07:44.839 --> 00:07:48.680
It's from another guy. And between stripping and marrying she
164
00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:51.240
was very very well off. She owned a ten bedroom
165
00:07:51.319 --> 00:07:52.839
penthouse apartment in Manhattan.
166
00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:56.519
Gypsy. She died from lung cancer in nineteen seventy at
167
00:07:56.519 --> 00:07:57.240
fifty nine years.
168
00:07:57.240 --> 00:08:11.160
Olds are in the sky. I'll never no what fire lie,
169
00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:26.959
So fire fly, what happens to? It's time.
170
00:08:30.360 --> 00:08:32.919
For you longtime listeners, you know that was my mom's
171
00:08:32.919 --> 00:08:36.039
favorite Elvis Presley song, I'll never know the King of.

00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:36.559
Rock and Roll.
173
00:08:36.639 --> 00:08:39.919
He was born in Tupelo, Mississippi, in nineteen thirty five Elvis.
174
00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:42.799
He had an identical twin brother, Jesse. Jesse was still
175
00:08:42.799 --> 00:08:46.360
born thirty five minutes before Elvis was born, now Elvis.
176
00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:48.519
He was married to Priscilla for five years. He fought
177
00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:51.320
for their divorce on his thirty eighth birthday. Of course,
178
00:08:51.320 --> 00:08:53.679
they had Lisa Marie, now Elvius. He sold over a
179
00:08:53.679 --> 00:08:57.480
billion records, made thirty one movies. Died nineteen seventy seven
180
00:08:57.480 --> 00:08:59.759
and forty two years old from a heart attack. They
181
00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:03.559
think he had it because he was constipated and couldn't poop. Bob,
182
00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:06.039
you bangs. He's eighty eight. He was born in Flint, Michigan,
183
00:09:06.039 --> 00:09:09.039
in nineteen thirty eight. Grew up in Pasadena, California. Started
184
00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:11.919
out as just regular radio DJ. Then he hit big
185
00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:15.000
on TV hosting The Newlywed Game. Now, Bob, he was
186
00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:17.519
allowed to say making love on the show. He's the
187
00:09:17.559 --> 00:09:19.840
one who changed it to mak him whoopie. Now, all
188
00:09:19.879 --> 00:09:21.679
those years, he only got in trouble one time with
189
00:09:21.799 --> 00:09:25.159
the censors. He's accidentally said the word penties. Now, when
190
00:09:25.159 --> 00:09:28.480
Bob wasn't hosting The Newlywed Game, he was managing country artists.
191
00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:31.679
So the artists that he managed were Dolly Parton, Barbara Mandreau,
192
00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:35.080
Marty Robbins, Merle Haggard. Bob had three children from his
193
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:37.600
first wives. She died after thirty three years of marriage.
194
00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:39.600
Married a second wife in two thousand and four, and
195
00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:42.039
they have a son. Yeah, she's almost thirty years younger
196
00:09:42.039 --> 00:09:42.399
than he is.
197
00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:51.840
You, Dollymber Memember.
198
00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:54.399
Twenty You.
199
00:09:57.879 --> 00:10:06.159
Je in my that was Little Anthony of Little Anthony
200
00:10:06.200 --> 00:10:09.039
in the Imperials. Little Anthony was born in nineteen forty
201
00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:11.320
one in Brooklyn, New York. He's eighty five today.
202
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:12.080
I don't know.
203
00:10:12.279 --> 00:10:13.720
He must have been a small kid because he was
204
00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:15.559
like five ten, so it's not he was really lethal
205
00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:18.399
now sold over fifty million records, though some of the
206
00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:21.039
hits are Tears on My Pillow, Shimi Shimi, Coco Pop,
207
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:22.600
going out.
208
00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:23.039
Of my Mind.
209
00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:26.000
Now everybody says that little Anthony his voice has not
210
00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:28.799
changed in the last sixty years. That's cool because of
211
00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:31.039
him in some more new Imperials. Yeah, they're gonna go
212
00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:33.080
do some shows this year. I guess they played some
213
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:35.840
shows every year. He had four kids from his first wife,
214
00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:38.000
then he had four kids from his second wife. I
215
00:10:38.120 --> 00:10:44.960
guess that'll keep you turning until you're eighty five. Choll Okay, Now,
216
00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:48.240
technically that was from the movie War Games, but it
217
00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:51.360
sounds like Stephen Hawking. He was born in Oxford, England,
218
00:10:51.399 --> 00:10:55.240
in nineteen forty two. He was a theoretical physicist, diagnosed
219
00:10:55.279 --> 00:10:58.440
with als in nineteen sixty three. His most famous buck
220
00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:01.919
was Brief History and Time, fourteen academic books. They were
221
00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:05.120
ate five children books. Okay, I think they could figure
222
00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:07.519
it out. Steven and he had a small recurring role
223
00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:09.120
on the TV show The Big Bank. There he was
224
00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:11.360
a good sport about that, making fun of him. He
225
00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:13.679
married his first wife in nineteen sixty five and they
226
00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:16.519
had three children. They divorced in nineteen ninety five, but
227
00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:17.600
Hawkins was the player.
228
00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:18.320
Yeah.
229
00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:20.279
Later on that year, in ninety five, he went married
230
00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:23.639
another woman. They got divorced in two thousand and seven. Now,
231
00:11:23.679 --> 00:11:26.440
most people at als they lived maybe five years. He
232
00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:29.120
lived fifty five years with it. Died in twenty eighteen
233
00:11:29.159 --> 00:11:32.279
at seventy six years old. His ashes in Westminster abbeue
234
00:11:32.279 --> 00:11:34.399
there between Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin.
235
00:11:35.559 --> 00:11:44.639
How much too fast to take that test? The change.
236
00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:46.480
Of the.
237
00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:53.639
Change?
238
00:11:55.080 --> 00:11:55.240
Now.
239
00:11:55.320 --> 00:11:58.120
He was born David Jones in London, England, in nineteen
