6
00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:41.359
the eighteen hundreds, candy makers they
had a really bad reputation for the way

7
00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:44.640
they went out making candy. Yeah, so they couldn't really experiment it.

8
00:00:44.679 --> 00:00:47.920
See if they made stuff like sour
candy, everyone just think that it was

9
00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:51.079
a bad batch. They were trying
to push off. But by the nineteen

10
00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:54.159
fifties they had gotten the trust of
the public, so they started playing around.

11
00:00:54.439 --> 00:00:57.600
Came up with atomic firewalls and lemonheads
and all that kind of stuff.

12
00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:00.159
Now it's our candy. It's everywhere, So pick your favorite and enjoy today.

13
00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:03.879
All right, let's set it happening
entertainment On July eighteenth, Let's back

14
00:01:03.879 --> 00:01:07.400
to the year two thousand and five. Number one album was Somewhere Down in

15
00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:11.079
Texas by George Strait. Mariah Carey
had the number one song with we belong

16
00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:30.920
together, ba leve of me still
suputubi some same thing the mon Toby Keith,

17
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:34.599
he had the number one country song
with as good as I once was,

18
00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:38.680
I said, girls, I ain't
as good as I once was.

19
00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:48.599
I got a few years on now, but there was a time back in

20
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:56.280
my crime when I could really The
number one book was eleven on Top by

21
00:01:56.400 --> 00:02:00.920
Janity Vanovitch. Top movie was Charlie
and the Chucolate Factory. Now they just

22
00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:04.200
remade the nineteen seventy one movie,
but this time it stars Johnny Depp,

23
00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:08.240
Freddie Hiymore and David Kelly. All
Right, what happened on July the eighteenth,

24
00:02:08.439 --> 00:02:12.680
in the year sixty four a d
The Great Fire of Rome began,

25
00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:15.280
burned for six days, and then
at rignited and burned for another three.

26
00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:19.639
Two thirds of Rome burned to the
ground. Now there's a legend that the

27
00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:23.639
Emperor Nero he played his fiddle while
Roman burns. Yeah, that can't be

28
00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:25.360
true, though the fiddle won't be
invented for another thousand years. It makes

29
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:29.879
a good legend, though, But
everyone does believe that Nero had a part

30
00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:32.199
in that fire, though see narrow
he played the fire on a small religious

31
00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:36.879
sect called the Christians. Now that
gave him full of thirty to persecute those

32
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:40.120
Christians. But it's rather strange though, that all that area of Rome that

33
00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:45.759
burned. Yeah, it fit exactly
into the blueprints that he had actually had

34
00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:51.000
drawn up there for a new garden
in a new palace. Maybe every drug

35
00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:53.400
company should do this. We should
get the people at Pfizer, Eli,

36
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:57.520
Lilly, Serna, all of them
to agree to do it. In eighteen

37
00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:01.439
ninety two, Ukrainian scientists Waltmore hicked
one. He created the first vaccine against

38
00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:05.000
cholera, now to make sure that
no one got sick from it, and

39
00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:07.319
he tested on himself first. Yeah, it worked and he lived, So

40
00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:13.319
I think that's a good testing point. Nineteen twenty five, Adolf Hitler published

41
00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:16.280
his book It was four and a
half years of struggle against lie, stupidity

42
00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:20.919
and cowardice. Oh, the publisher
changed the name to mind comp which means

43
00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:24.960
mind Struggle. Airplane mechanic Douglas Corgan. Now he had helped build the airplane

44
00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:28.560
in the spirit of Saint Louis.
That's the plane that Lindberg flew across the

45
00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:30.960
Atlantic Ocean in nineteen twenty seven,
Now, Corygan, he didn't have a

46
00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:34.840
lot of money. He had just
enough money to buy an old junker airplane.

47
00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:37.360
He wasn't able to get it to
fly, though. But see Corgan,

48
00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:40.479
he really really wanted bad to be
like Lindbergh. Yeah, he wanted

49
00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:44.439
all that fame and fortune and all
that stuff that he received after he flied

50
00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:46.319
across the Atlantic. So he decided
he was going to go for it.

51
00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:50.280
Yeah, so he flew to New
York City, gassed up, and then

52
00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:53.599
before he could take off, the
authorities they saw that crappy plane and what

53
00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:55.479
he was gonna do. They grounded
him. They said it was suicide.

54
00:03:55.520 --> 00:04:00.520
There's no way that plane could ever
make it across the Atlantic Ocean. Argued

55
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:01.360
with it, he said, just
let me go. I can make it.

56
00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:03.800
So he said no, not only
that, but we're also going to

57
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:08.400
tell you that crappy plane off our
airport. Now Corgan really beg no,

58
00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:11.000
no, no, please, don't
toe my plane away. He promised to

59
00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:14.120
fly back to California. Oh,
they didn't think he could make it back

60
00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:16.360
to California, but at least it
wasn't over water like over the ocean,

61
00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:18.000
So they said, all right,
you can go ahead. And take off.

62
00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:21.959
This morning in nineteen thirty eight,
at an airport in Dublin, Ireland,

63
00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:27.240
the workers reading breakfast when the crappy
airplane came sputtering in for a landing.

64
00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:30.600
When they went over to investigate Corgan, he got out of the plane

65
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:32.639
he started asking where am I?
I have no idea. I got in

66
00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:35.439
a cloud bank when I left New
York on my way to California and lost

67
00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:39.560
my parents. Can you please help
me figure out where I am? A

68
00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:42.439
lot of people bought that story.
Yeah, I was on the front page

69
00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:46.920
and every newspaper in the world of
the huge headline wrong way Corgan after dick

70
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:48.160
a boat back to New York.
They did hold a parate for him.

71
00:04:48.160 --> 00:05:11.199
It was actually bigger than Lindberg's when
each he was young in the That recording

72
00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:14.800
is back from nineteen fifty three.
Yeah, nineteen fifty three and eighteen year

73
00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:17.639
old Eli was Presley. He went
into Sun Records and in Memphis. Yet

74
00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:20.879
he paid him three dollars and ninety
eight cents and let him make a record

75
00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:24.680
for his mother. Yeah, it's
for his birthday. So that was the

76
00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:28.079
recording of my happiness. On the
other side of the record was that's your

77
00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:32.680
heartaches begin nineteen sixty nine. Yes, Senator Ted Kennedy from Massachusetts. He's

78
00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:36.240
at a party on the island at
chap Equittic. It's off of Martha's Vineyard.

79
00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:40.360
Now. He offered to give a
ride to one of his young staffers,

80
00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:43.720
a twenty eight year old Marry Joe
Kopecne. Kennedy, Yeah, most

81
00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:46.000
likely drunk. He drove off one
of the bridges going into the mainland.

82
00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:48.600
Kennedy. He was able to get
out of the car. Mary Joe.

83
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:51.560
Yeah, she wasn't, Kennedy.
He said. He tried silver tip and

84
00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:55.120
dived down to rescue her, but
he just couldn't do it. So he

85
00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:57.399
went back to his hotel room,
went back to bed, and then he

86
00:05:57.439 --> 00:05:59.639
woke up in the morning and called
the police and let him know about his

87
00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:02.360
accident. When they pulled this car
out of the well, I guess the

88
00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:06.079
ocean, they found Mary Joe inside. Yes, you drowned, Kennedy.

89
00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:10.720
He ended up getting two months suspend
as a sentence for leaving the scene of

90
00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:14.759
an accident. In twenty nineteen,
the city of West Palm Beach, Florida.

91
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:16.240
They had had it enough, wasn't
enough? They were done. They

92
00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:20.439
weren't dealing with it anymore. Homeless
people kept gathering on their waterfront wharf.

93
00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:23.839
That was it. They were gonna
get rid of them no matter what.

94
00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:28.480
So they started blasting the kid's song
Baby Shark and It's raining Tacos. Well

95
00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:30.720
it worked really well. Yeah,
the homeless people left, but the homeless

96
00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:34.759
advocates tried to take the city to
court and sue them, and yeah,

97
00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:40.959
no court would take it. The
strain and tacos fell out of the sky.

98
00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:46.360
Talkos, no need to ask why, Just supen your mouth, close

99
00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:59.720
your eyes, and strain and t
all right. Who was born on July
