Hi there, I am Jeff and welcome to History and Factor.
2
00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:26.399
It's about today. Today is July the eighteenth.
3
00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:29.679
I'm soo candy sore and I got a little angry
4
00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:36.200
and sour candy ca Yeah, yea, I'm super psyched, Grace.

00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:40.000
You want to turn the lessle so Manny Carr.
6
00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:44.640
Today it is National Sour Candy Day. Now, back in
7
00:00:44.679 --> 00:00:47.200
the eighteen hundred, it's candy makers. They really had a
8
00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:50.240
bad reputation about how they went into making candy. Yes,
9
00:00:50.359 --> 00:00:52.159
they couldn't experiment at all. See if they came up
10
00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:54.520
with something like sour candy, Yeah, everybody think it was
11
00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:56.840
just a bad bats they were trying to sell. About
12
00:00:56.840 --> 00:01:00.359
the nineteen fifties, the public started trusting candymakers. Know, they
13
00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:02.920
started playing around, came up things like atomic fireball, the
14
00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:06.239
limon heads and all that good stuff. Now, sour candy
15
00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:08.439
it's everywhere. So pick your favorite one and puck her
16
00:01:08.519 --> 00:01:11.560
up today. She's going on entertainment on July the eighteenth.
17
00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:14.200
It's a bat your twenty seventeen Them one album was
18
00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:17.920
greatful by KG Khalid. It was Phonzie and Daddy Yankee
19
00:01:17.959 --> 00:01:21.079
had the name one song with de Posito. Yes, spa
20
00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:29.680
to wiggle this pacito, you got those? This seems tsking
21
00:01:29.799 --> 00:01:39.239
me go spa, see though, Okadito, that's that's what that
22
00:01:39.359 --> 00:01:41.959
s pasito. That means slowly. Sam aunt to have the
23
00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:44.319
number one country song with body like a back road.
24
00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:48.879
Way, man like Cadillac scenes.
25
00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:57.120
Body lack a back traveling curve, lock the back of
26
00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:02.599
my fifteen. I know.
27
00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:06.480
I'm gonna take this song just as.
28
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:10.360
Fast as I came. The number one book was Camino
29
00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:14.159
Island by John Grisham. The top movie was Dunkirk, British
30
00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:17.280
Belgium and French soldiers there completely surrounded by the German
31
00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:20.520
army in World War Two. That epic evacuation takes place
32
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:25.319
stars Fion, Whiteland, Barry Kiegun and Mark Rylands. All Right,
33
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:28.759
what happened on July the eighteenth, in the year sixty four,
34
00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:32.080
The Great Fire of Rome began, burned for six days
35
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:34.439
and then reignited and burned for another three Two thirds
36
00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:36.919
of Rome were burned to the ground. The legend is
37
00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:39.280
at the Emperor Niro he played his fiddle as he
38
00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:41.800
watched Rome burn. Well, that can't be true. The fiddle
39
00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:44.599
won't be invented for another thousand years. But it makes
40
00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:47.800
a good story, and everyone does believe Nero had a
41
00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:51.080
part in that fire. See Naro. He blamed the fire
42
00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:54.039
on this really small religiou sect called Christians. Yeah, that
43
00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:56.360
gave him the full authority to go persecatee those Christians
44
00:02:56.400 --> 00:02:59.560
after that. Now it's rather odd. See that area of
45
00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:02.560
Rome that burned. It happened to fit exactly into the
46
00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:04.879
blueprint that Nero had drawn up for a new palace
47
00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:09.080
and garden. Maybe every drug company should start doing this.
48
00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:12.439
I don't think the people at Pfizer, Eli, Lilly, Certain
49
00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:14.800
and all that wouldn't go for it. Eighteen ninety two,
50
00:03:14.919 --> 00:03:18.319
Ukrainian signing to Vladimir Hifkin. He came up with the
51
00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:21.199
first vaccine against cholera. Wow. To make sure he didn't
52
00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:24.439
make people sick, he tested on himself. Yeah, he loved something.
53
00:03:24.439 --> 00:03:27.719
They put the vaccine on the market. Nineteen twenty five
54
00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:29.599
he Hadolf Hitler. He published the book that he wrote
55
00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:31.879
while he was in prison four and a half years,
56
00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:35.759
A struggle against lies, stupidity and cowardice. Wow, the publisher
57
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:40.159
changes to mind confidence, it means my struggle. Douglas Corgan
58
00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:42.439
he was an airplane mechanic. He actually helped build the
59
00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:45.080
Spirit of Saint Louis. That's the plane that Charles Lindberg
60
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:48.400
flew across the Atlantic Ocean in nineteen twenty seven. Well, Corgan,
61
00:03:48.479 --> 00:03:50.240
he didn't have a lot of money. He had just
62
00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:52.319
enough money to buy a really junker plane, but he
63
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:54.879
was able to get the fly. But Corgan, see, he
64
00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:57.919
really really wanted to be like Lindberg. Yeah, he wanted
65
00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:00.000
all that fame that Lindberg received when he flew across
66
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:03.120
Atlantic Ocean. So Corgan decided he was gonna go for it.
67
00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:05.360
So he flew that junk airplane from where he was
68
00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:07.960
in California out to New York City. Then after he
69
00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:10.360
gassed up before he could take off, the authorities at
70
00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:12.800
the airport they saw that crappy airplane and found out
71
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:15.360
what he was gonna do. They grounded him. Yeah, they
72
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:17.879
said it was suicide. They weren't gonna let that plane
73
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:20.399
try and make it across the Atlantic Ocean. Cork and
74
00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:22.000
he argued with him, said, hey man, just let me
75
00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:24.639
do it. I can make it orthor No, not only
76
00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:26.040
we're not gonna let you do it, We're gonna actually
77
00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:28.720
tow that piece of crap off our airport. Now Corgan
78
00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:31.680
was desperate, so he really started to bag. He said no, no, no, no,
79
00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:33.879
don't tell the way by plane, and he promised to
80
00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:36.600
fly back to California. Well, they didn't think it'd make
81
00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:38.600
it to California, but at least it would be over
82
00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:42.639
land and not water, so they said, all right. This
83
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:46.199
morning in nineteen thirty eight, at an airport in Dublin, Ireland,
84
00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:48.839
the workers, they were all eating breakfast when this crappy
85
00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:51.759
airplane came sputtering in for a landing. Wow. They all
86
00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:54.279
went over to investigate what was going on Cork and
87
00:04:54.319 --> 00:04:56.439
he climbed out of the parane. He acted all confused,
88
00:04:56.480 --> 00:04:58.959
like where was I? He said, I have no idea
89
00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:01.120
where I'm at. He had a cloud bank when I left
90
00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:02.839
New York City on my way to California and I
91
00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:05.480
lost my bearings. Please tell me where I'm at. A
92
00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:09.000
lot of people bought that. Yeah, it was on the
93
00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:11.319
front page of pretty much every newspaper in the world.
94
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:14.160
The headlines are read wrong way. Corgan. Now he had
95
00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:15.879
to take a boat back to the United States. But
96
00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:17.519
when he got in New York City, they did all
97
00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:21.199
the parade for him. It was actually bigger than Lindberg's When.
98
00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:22.839
Each Weary.
99
00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:42.319
Home To That recording is from nineteen fifty three. Eighteen
100
00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:44.920
year old Elvis Presley went into Sun Records in Memphis.
101
00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:47.360
He paid him three dollars and ninety eight cents to
102
00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:49.720
make a record for his mom for her birthday. Now
103
00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:51.680
that song was my happiness. On the other side of
104
00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:54.879
the record, it was your heartaches again. Now you're in
105
00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:57.600
that money to make the record. Driving a truck nineteen
106
00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:01.160
sixty nine, the United States senator from mass Chooses Ted Kennedy.
107
00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:03.759
He was at a party on the island of chap Equittick.
108
00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:06.600
It's off of Martha's Vineyard. Well. He offered to give
109
00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:08.560
a ride to one of his staffer's twenty eight year
110
00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:11.879
old Mary Joe Kopeckney. Well, Kennedy, yeah, is most likely
111
00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:13.600
drunk when he drove off of one of the bridges
112
00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:15.759
that lead to the mainland. Kennedy he was able to
113
00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:18.439
get out of the car, Mary Joe wasn't, Kennedy said.
114
00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:20.399
He tried severl tries to dive down to rescue her,
115
00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:22.480
but he just couldn't do it. So he went back
116
00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:24.399
to his hotel room went to bed. When he woke
117
00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:25.920
up the next morning, he took a shower and then
118
00:06:25.959 --> 00:06:28.240
called the police tell him about his accident. When the
119
00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:30.160
police pulled his car out of the ocean, Marry Joe,
120
00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:33.160
she was inside. She had drowned Kennedy. He ended up
121
00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:36.279
getting a two months suspended sentence for leaving the scene
122
00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:39.879
of an accident. Knows It nineteen ninety four at Crayola
123
00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:43.519
and they started selling scented crayons. Twenty nineteen. The city
124
00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:46.240
of West Palm Beach, Florida. They had had it. Enough
125
00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:48.439
was enough, they were done. They were not going to
126
00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:52.480
tolerate homeless people gathering on their waterfront wharf anymore. So
127
00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:55.839
to keep the homeless way, West Palm Beach started blasting
128
00:06:55.879 --> 00:06:58.920
the kids songs Baby Shark and It's Raining Tacos. It
129
00:06:59.079 --> 00:07:02.040
worked really, really well. Yep. The homeless people they all left.
130
00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:04.839
But the homeless advocates they were irate. They tried to
131
00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:07.360
sue the city. No court would take that lawsuit though.
132
00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:13.480
The strain and Talcos fell out of the sky. Talk goes,
133
00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:18.240
no need to ask why, just open your mouth, close
134
00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:22.720
your eyes, and strain and Talker say.
135
00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:31.160
Okay, let's see. It was born on July the eighteenth,
136
00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:34.120
the unthinkable Molly Brown. She's born in Hannibal, Missouri. In
137
00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:37.959
eighteen sixty seven, she married a poor miner up in Leadville, Colorado.
138
00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:40.399
Now they scrap by for a few years. They had
139
00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:42.680
a son and a daughter. Then her husband, John Brown,
140
00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:45.879
hit big. Now we are talking really big. It was
141
00:07:45.879 --> 00:07:49.160
in eighteen ninety three. They were instant millionaires. Got a
142
00:07:49.240 --> 00:07:51.560

143
00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:53.720

144
00:07:53.720 --> 00:07:56.800
biggest socialites in Denver. In nineteen twelve, she was over

visiting her daughter in Paris. She received word that her
146
00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:02.839
oldest grand back in Denver was sick. So she was desperate,
147
00:08:02.920 --> 00:08:04.480
so she bought a ticket on the first ship that
148
00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:06.439
could get her back to the United States. Just so
149
00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:08.800
happened to That ship was the Maine Voyage of the Titanic.
150
00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:11.879
