00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:59.560
Darling, This will be good pine ever more smiries, there go.

23
00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:02.920
Oh My.

24
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:07.159
The number one buck was Valley of the Dolls by

25
00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:11.639
Jacqueline Suzanne. The top movie was Torn Curtain, an American scientist.

26
00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:14.919
He defects East Germany, but it's actually a secret mission

27
00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:16.400
to steal it formerly and bring it back to the

28
00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:20.639
United States. Stars Paul Newman and Julie Andrews. It was today,

29
00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:23.560
nineteen sixty two the Rolling Stones played their first gig. Yeah.

30
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:26.039
The show was at the Marquee Club in London. The

31
00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:28.520
band got twenty five bucks for it. Not a piece,

32
00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:30.080
the whole band got twenty five you know what. It

33
00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:32.280
was probably pounds though, if it was over in London.

34
00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:34.479
All right, let's see what happened on July the twelfth,

35
00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:37.560
sixteen thirty. The governor of New Amsterdam, which is New

36
00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:40.560
York today, he bought Goal Island from a Native American

37
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:45.240
tribe today that is Ellis Island. Eighteen fifty nine in Manchester, Massachusetts,

38
00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:48.479
William Gooddeal. He invented a machine for making paper bags.

39
00:02:48.759 --> 00:02:50.280
Kind of impressive, but I wonder where he got the

40
00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:53.199
paper now. The legend of wild Bill Hitcock began today

41
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:56.039
in eighteen sixty one. It was a Rock Creek, Nebraska.

42
00:02:56.080 --> 00:02:59.159
He shot and killed David Mcallis. Yeah, he was later

43
00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:01.879
found not guilty murder. Yeah, the jury said that it

44
00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:05.039
was self defense. But his legend began nineteen hundred and

45
00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:07.039
Bitter Creek, Wyoming and got up one hundred and fourteen

46
00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:09.879
degrees still the Wyoming state record for hottist temp. Now

47
00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:12.520
this was way before Ice. Even in nineteen seventeen of

48
00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:16.560
miners they went out strike in Brisbee, Arizona. Vigilanties kidnapped

49
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:19.400
and deported thirteen hundred of those striking miners. Now the

50
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:22.400
trucking industry eras revolution to ied today. In nineteen forty

51
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:25.960
Frederick Jones had been in an air conditioning unit for trucks. Yeah,

52
00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:27.840
so now we could actually ship all kinds of food

53
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:30.680
across the land for long haul. Nineteen fifty seven, Dwight

54
00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:32.280
Eyes noow I became the first president of Fly in

55
00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:34.919
a Helicopter. Now, well he was doing that his a

56
00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:38.080
surgeon general. His name was Leroy Bernie. He became the

57
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:40.560
first federal and public official in the United States to

58
00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:44.159
acknowledge the connection between smoking and lunk cancer. Theyro he's

59
00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:47.120
actually a heavy smoker. Today it's actually National Etches Sketch

60
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:49.639
to Day. Also in nineteen sixty that just sketch went

61
00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:53.000
on sale. Nineteen seventy sax on TV Family Feud, Yeah,

62
00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:56.240
hosted by Richard Dawson. Yeah, debut back in nineteen fifty

63
00:03:56.240 --> 00:03:59.639
two over in India, Shihar, Chilella. He stopped growing his

64
00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:01.719
finger in else So now he had to fast forward

65
00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:04.800
sixty six years to twenty eighteen. See now he is

66
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:09.199
sixty eighty one years old and now his hands had disfiguremente.

67
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:13.039
They were deformed, had NERD damage, loss of function. Yeah,

68
00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:14.719
so what they did is they took some power songs

69
00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:17.319
to cut off all those fingernails. Yeah, they were record setting,

70
00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:19.560
as you can probably imagine it's all together. They measured

71
00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:21.959
three hundred and fifty eight inches long, so that's almost

72
00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:24.279
thirty feet. Now one of his thumbs, that nail was

73
00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:26.360
the longest. It was seventy eight inches longer, about six

74
00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:28.879
and a half feet. Sounds pretty gross, right, but you

75
00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:30.480
can actually go see him up. They're on this play

76
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:32.759

83
00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:51.920
Good born on July the twelfth, Comunitian actor Milton Burrow.

hosted the Texico Star Theater every Tuesday night. He had

90
00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:13.240
ninety percent of the share of the audience. I think

91
00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:15.439
that there might have only been one channel that ran

92
00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:18.199

93
