So Manny Carr. Today it is National Sour Candy Day. Now,
7
00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:46.880
back in the eighteen hundred, it's candy makers. They really
8
00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:50.240
had a bad reputation about how they went into making candy. Yes,
9
00:00:50.359 --> 00:00:52.159
they couldn't experiment it 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 --> 00:01:06.920
limon heads and all that good stuff. Now sour candy's everywhere.
15
00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:10.719
So pick your favorite one and puck her up today. Okay,
16
00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:13.319
let's see what happened in entertainment now on July eighteenth.
17
00:01:13.359 --> 00:01:16.719
Let's back in nineteen sixty nine, the Hair movie soundtrack
18
00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:19.120
was the number one album. Zigar and Evans had the
19
00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:21.200
number one song with twenty five twenty five.

00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:26.760

Conway Twitter, you had the number one country song with
25
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:52.319
I Love You More Today. Now he's with you.
26

And thank you Tom.
27
00:01:56.480 --> 00:02:04.159
We've done well for so long today.
28
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:16.159
Then he came from.
29
00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:14.960
The top selling book was The Love Machine by Jack
30
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:19.800
lind Susan top movie was The Wild Budge in nineteen thirteen, Texas.
31
00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:21.919
A gang of aging outlaws they look for one last
32
00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:25.879
big score. Stars William Holding, Ernest Borg nine, Robert Ryan.
33
00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:30.319
All Right, what happened on July the eighteenth, in the
34
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:33.879
year sixty four, The Great Fire of Rome began, burned
35
00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:35.960
for six days and then reignited and burned for another
36
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:38.199
three Two thirds of Rome were burned to the ground.
37
00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:41.199
The legend is at the Emperor Niro he played his
38
00:02:41.240 --> 00:02:43.960
fiddle as he watched Rome burn. Well, that can't be true.
39
00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:46.599
The fiddle won't be invented for another thousand years. But
40
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:50.000
it makes a good story, and everyone does believe Niro
41
00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:52.680
had a part in that fire. See Naro. He blamed
42
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:54.960
the fire on this really small world they just set
43
00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:57.680
called Christians. Yeah, that gave him the full authority to
44
00:02:57.719 --> 00:03:01.400
go persecate those Christians after that. It's rather odd see
45
00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:04.199
that area of Rome that burned. It happened to fit
46
00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:06.680
exactly into the blueprint that Nero had drawn up for
47
00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:10.960
a new palace and garden. Maybe every drug company should
48
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:14.639
start doing this. I think the people at Pfizer, Eli, Lilly,
49
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:17.360
Certain and all that would go for it. Eighteen ninety two,
50
00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:21.039
Ukrainian signing to Vladimirhifkin. He came up with the first
51
00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:22.199
vaccine against cholera.
52
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:22.919
Wow.
53
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:24.840
To make sure he didn't make people sick, he tested
54
00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:27.719
on himself. Yeah, he loved something. They put the vaccine
55
00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:31.039
on the market. Nineteen twenty five The Hadolf Hitler. He
56
00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:32.879
published the book that he wrote while he was in prison.
57
00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:35.719
Four and a half years of struggle against lie of
58
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:39.439
stupidity and cowardice. Ah, the publisher changes to mind conference
59
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:43.919
means mind struggle. Douglas Corgan he was an airplane mechanic.
60
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:46.240
He actually helped build the Spirit of Saint Louis. That's
61
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:48.840
the plane that Charles Lindberg flew across the Atlantic Ocean
62
00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:51.520
in nineteen twenty seven. Well, Corgan, he didn't have a
63
00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:53.520
lot of money. He had just enough money to buy
64
00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:55.360
a really junker airplane. But he was able to get
65
00:03:55.400 --> 00:03:58.599
the fly. But Corgan, see, he really really wanted to
66
00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:01.039
be like Lindbergh. Yeah, he wanted all that fame that
67
00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:03.879
Lindbergh received when he flew across the Atlantic Ocean. So
68
00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:06.280
Corgan decided he was gonna go for it. So he
69
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:08.639
flew that junk airplane from where he was in California
70
00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:11.039
out to New York City. Then after he gassed up,
71
00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:13.360
before he could take off, the authorities at the airport
72
00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:15.479
they saw that crappy airplane and found out what he
73
00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:18.199
was gonna do. They grounded him. Yeah, they said it
74
00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:20.680
was suicide. They weren't gonna let that plane try and
75
00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:23.360
make it across the Atlantic ocean. Cork and he argued
76
00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:24.720
with him, said, hey man, just let me do it.
77
00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:27.600
I can make it. No, not only we're not gonna
78
00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:29.079
let you do it, we're gonna actually toew that piece
79
00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:32.160
of crap off our airport. Now Corgan was desperate, so
80
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:34.199
he really started to back. He said no, no, no, no,
81
00:04:34.439 --> 00:04:36.560
don't tell way By plane and he promised to fly
82
00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:39.240
back to California. Well, they didn't think he'd make it
83
00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:42.040
to California, but at least it would be over land
84
00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:45.680
and out water, so they said, all right. This morning
85
00:04:45.720 --> 00:04:48.720
in nineteen thirty eight, at an airport in Dublin, Ireland,
86
00:04:48.759 --> 00:04:51.360
the workers they were all eating breakfast when this crappy
87
00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:53.240
airplane came sputtering in for a landing.
88
00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:53.879
Wow.
89
00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:56.000
They all went over to investigate what was going on.
90
00:04:56.360 --> 00:04:58.240
Cork and he climbed out of the parane. He acted
91
00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:01.199
all confused, like where was He said, I have no
92
00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:03.360
idea where I'm at. Hit a cloud bank when I
93
00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:05.279
left New York City on my way to California and
94
00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:07.160
I lost my bearings. Please tell me where I'm at.
95
00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:11.360
A lot of people bought that. Yeah, it was on
96
00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:13.839
the front page of pretty much every newspaper in the world.
97
00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:16.639
The headlines are read wrong way, Corgan. Now he had
98
00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:18.360
to take a boat back to the United States. But
99
00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:20.040
when he got in New York City, they did all
100
00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:21.959
the parade for him. It was actually bigger than Lindberg's
101
00:05:23.319 --> 00:05:24.120
when each.
102
00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:31.120
Home to.
103
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:45.240
That recording is from nineteen fifty three. Eighteen year old
104
00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:48.360
Elvis Presley went into Sun Records in Memphis. He paid
105
00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:50.160
him three dollars and ninety eight cents to make a
106
00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:52.720
record for his mom for her birthday. Now that song
107
00:05:52.839 --> 00:05:54.600
was my happiness. On the other side of the record,
108
00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:57.800
it was your heartaches again. Now you're in that money
109
00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:00.800
to make the record driving a truck. Teen sixty nine.
110
00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:04.360
The United States Senator from Massachusetts, Ted Kennedy. He was
111
00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:06.600
at a party on the island of chap Equittock. It's
112
00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:09.240
off of Martha's Vineyard. Well, he offered to give a
113
00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:11.240
ride to one of his staffers, twenty eight year old
114
00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:14.720
Mary Joe Kopecney. Well, Kennedy, yeah, is most likely drunk.
115
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:16.399
He drove off in one of the bridges that lead
116
00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:18.560
to the mainland. Kennedy he was able to get out
117
00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:21.240
of the car. Mary Joe wasn't, Kennedy said. He tried
118
00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:23.160
silverl tries to dive down to rescue her, but he
119
00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:25.279
just couldn't do it. So he went back to his
120
00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:27.199
hotel room went to bed. When he woke up the
121
00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:28.959
next morning, he took a shower and then called the police,
122
00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:31.399
telling him about his accident. When the police pulled his
123
00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:33.519
car out of the ocean, Marry Joe, she was inside.
124
00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:36.959
She had drowned Kennedy. He ended up getting a two
125
00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:39.399
months suspended sentence for leaving the scene of an accident.
126
00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:42.920
That was it. Nineteen ninety four at Crayola, they started
127
00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:47.360
selling scented crayons. Twenty nineteen, the city of West Palm Beach, Florida,
128
00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:50.199
they had had it. Enough was enough. They were done.
129
00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:52.600
They were not going to tolerate homeless people gathering on
130
00:06:52.680 --> 00:06:56.480
their waterfront wharf anymore. So to keep the homeless way,
131
00:06:56.839 --> 00:06:59.839
West Palm Beach started blasting the kids songs Baby Shark
132
00:06:59.879 --> 00:07:03.279
and It's raining Tacos. It worked really, really well. Yep.
133
00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:06.120
The homeless people they all left, But the homeless advocates
134
00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:08.439
they were irate. They tried to sue the city. No
135
00:07:08.519 --> 00:07:09.920
court would take that lawsuit though.
136
00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:14.360
The strain and tacos fell out of the sky.
137
00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:19.639
Talk goes, no need to ask why, just open your mouth,
138
00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:32.240
close your eyes, and strain and tay. Okay, let's see.
139
00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:35.319
It was born on July the eighteenth, the unthinkable Molly Brown.
140
00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:37.759
She was born in Hannibal, Missouri. In eighteen sixty seven.
141
00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:41.000
She married a poor miner up in Leadville, Colorado. Now
142
00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:43.000
they scrat by for a few years. They had a
143
00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:46.120
son and a daughter. Then her husband, John Brown hit big.
144
00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:48.920
Now we are talking really big. It was an eighteen
145
00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:52.519
ninety three. They were instant millionaires about a big mansion
146
00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:54.399
in Denver. You can actually tour. It's called the Molly
147
00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:57.120
Brown House. Molly she became one of the biggest socialites
148
00:07:57.160 --> 00:07:59.759
in Denver. In nineteen twelve, she was over visiting her
149
00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:02.279
dog her in Paris. She received word that her oldest
150
00:08:02.279 --> 00:08:05.399
grandson back in Denver was sick. So she was desperate,
151
00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:07.000
so she bought a ticket on the first ship that
152
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:09.000
could get her back to the United States. Just so
153
00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:11.959
happened to that ship was the made voyage of the Titanic. Wow,
154
00:08:12.079 --> 00:08:14.560
you've lost seen the movies. After that, her husband died
155
00:08:14.600 --> 00:08:16.439
in nineteen twenty two, so I'm Mary moved to New
156
00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:18.959

00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:21.360
brain tumor in nineteen thirty two, at sixty five years old.
