13
00:00:57.159 --> 00:00:59.280

00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:06.000

15
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:09.280
on entertainment on July the twelfth. Back in nineteen fifty eight,

16
00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:12.400
the number one album was the Music Man movie soundtrack.

17
00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:14.599

18
00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:15.120

19
00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:18.480

a Purple People eater than me.

23
00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:30.439
It was a one eyed, one horn Flying.

24
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:31.200

Johnny Cash had the number one country song with Guess

00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:41.680

00:01:55.560 --> 00:01:59.760
You asked me a file get along, I guess I

34
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:01.560
would some way.

35
00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:03.400
I don't like it.

36
00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:09.599
The top selling book was Anatomy of a Murder by

37
00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:13.639
Robert Trevor. Top movie was The Vikings. A slave and

38
00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:16.199
a Viking prince. They fighted over the love of a princess.

39
00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:21.439
Stars Kirk Douglas, Tony Curtis, Ernest borgnine Genitly it was

40
00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:24.639
today nineteen sixty two, the Rolling Stones played their first gig. Yeah,

41
00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:27.120
the show was at the Marquee Club in London. The

42
00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:29.639
band got twenty five bucks for it. Not a piece,

43
00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:31.400
the whole band got twenty five You know what, It's

44
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:33.879
probably pounds though, if it was over in London. All right,

45
00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:36.599
let's see what happened. On July the twelfth, sixteen thirty,

46
00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:39.199
the governor of New Amsterdam which is New York today,

47
00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:42.560
he bought Goal Island from a Native American tribe today.

48
00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:46.280
That is Ellis Island, eighteen fifty nine in Manchester, Massachusetts,

49
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:49.599
William Gooddell, he invented a machine for making paper bags.

50
00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:52.199
Kind of impressive, but I wonder where he got the paper. Now,

51
00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:54.719
the legend of wild Bill Hitcock began today. In eighteen

52
00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:57.680
sixty one. It was a Rock Creek, Nebraska. He shot

53
00:02:57.719 --> 00:03:02.000
and killed David Mcallis. Yeah, later found not guilty of murder. Yeah,

54
00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:04.280
the jury said that it was self defense. But his

55
00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:07.319
legend began nineteen hundred and Bittercreek, Wyoming and got up

56
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:09.560
to one hundred and fourteen degrees still the Wyoming state

57
00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:12.159
record for hottist temp. Now this was way before ice.

58
00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:14.879
Even in nineteen seventeen of miners they went out strike

59
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:18.960
in Brisbee, Arizona. Vigilanties kidnapped and deported thirteen hundred of

60
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:22.120
those striking miners. Now, the trucking industry, there was revolution

61
00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:24.800
to ie today. In nineteen forty Frederick Jones have been

62
00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:27.360
in an air conditioning unit for trucks. Yeah, so now

63
00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:29.280
we could actually ship all kinds of food across the

64
00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:32.199
land for long haul. Nineteen fifty seven, Dwight eyesenow I

65
00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:34.759
became the first president to find a helicopter. Now, well

66
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:37.560
he was doing that. His surgeon general, his name was

67
00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:40.879
Leroy Bernie. He became the first federal and public official

68
00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:43.680
in the United States to acknowledge the connection between smoking

69
00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:46.240
and lunk cancer. Lero, he is actually a heavy smoker.

70
00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:49.560
Today it's actually National Etches Sketch Day. Also in nineteen

71
00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:52.599
sixty that just Sketch went on sale. Nineteen seventy sax

72

73
00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:59.759
debut back in nineteen fifty two over in India Shihar Chilella.

74
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:02.240
He stopped growing his fingernails. So now he had to

75
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:05.639
fast forward sixty six years to twenty eighteen. See now

76
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:08.479
he is sixty eighty one years old and now his

77
00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:12.639
hands had this figure mine. They were deformed, had nerd damage,

78
00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:14.879
loss of function. Yeah, So what they did is they

79
00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:17.560
took some power songs to cut off all those fingernails. Yeah,

80
00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:19.600
they were record setting, as you can probably imagine. So

81
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:22.199
all together they measured three hundred and fifty eight inches long,

82
00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:24.959
that's almost thirty feet and one of his thumbs, that

83
00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:27.079
nail was the longest. It was seventy eight inches longer

84
00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:29.720
about six and a half feet. Sounds pretty gross, right,

85
00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:31.360
but you can actually go see him. Yep, they're under

York City. Joke joke, joke, joke, huge, this shibarth Day,

88
00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:41.879

89
00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:43.399

July the twelfth, Comunitian actor Milton Burrow. He was born

94
00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:55.279

He was in show business over eighty years. He started

the Texico Star Theater every Tuesday night. He had ninety

100
00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:14.560
percent of the share of the audience. I'm thinking there

101
00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:17.319
might have only been one channel that ran for eight years.

102
00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:19.560
He played Vegas a lot over the years. That was

103
00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:22.240
kind of his big thing. The last acting really did

104
00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:24.160

105
00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:26.360
he formed The Friar's Cub and he's hanging around all

106
00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:29.639
his entertainment friends. He married and divorced his first wife twice.

107
00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:32.079
