00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:39.039
car. Yeah, it's National sour
Candy Day. In the eight eighteen hundreds,

6
00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:42.759
candy makers really had a bad reputation
for how they were making candy,

7
00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:46.119
so they couldn't really experiment on stuff
like sour County. Your people would think

8
00:00:46.119 --> 00:00:49.439
it was just a bad batch of
candy. But by the nineteen fifties,

9
00:00:49.479 --> 00:00:52.520
candy makers have gotten the trust of
the public, so they really experiment on

10
00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:57.079
stuff like atomic fireballs and the limit
heads. And now sour candy is everywhere,

11
00:00:57.119 --> 00:01:00.880
So just pick your favorite. Enjoy
today. She's going on entertainment on

12
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:03.879
July eighteenth, Let's go back to
your nineteen eighty three number one album was

13
00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:07.680
Michael Jackson's thriller The Police had the
number one song with Every Breath You Take,

14
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:34.079
Sea Baby. Willie Nelson and Merle
Haggard had the number one country song

15
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:40.560
with Punch You On Lefty. The
Ward has Gone outside is We're on the

16
00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:52.760
office world punto madis my Juno on
the deserts down in Mexico. Nobody heard

17
00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:59.560
and die. The number one book
was Returning the Jedi by Joan Divenge.

18
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:04.159
The top movie was Jaws three D. Police Chief Brody his son has to

19
00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:07.879
save everyone from a giant thirty five
foot shark that gets trapped in theme park.

20
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:14.280
Dennis Quay Best Armstrong and Luke Gossett
Junior starting it. Nineteen seventy eight,

21
00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:16.879
Deaf Leppard made their first live debut
performance. It was at the Westfield

22
00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:21.199
School in Sheffield, England. One
hundred and fifty people went to see him

23
00:02:21.199 --> 00:02:23.879
out. All right, unless it
had happened in the world. On July

24
00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:27.759
the eighteenth, the year sixty four, the Great Fire of Rome began,

25
00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:31.000
burned for six days and then reignited
and burned for another three days. Two

26
00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:36.159
thirds of Rome burned to the ground. Now there is rumor and legend that

27
00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:39.360
Roman Emperor Nero played his fiddle while
Rome burned. Wow, that's not true.

28
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:42.360
How do we not? Well,
the fiddle won't be invented for a

29
00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:46.919
thousand years. But everyone does believe
Nero had his hand in getting that fire

30
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:50.919
started though. Of course, Nero
blamed on this small Jewish sect called Christians

31
00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:53.280
for starting the fire, and he's
able to persecute him afterwards. But as

32
00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:59.159
strangely that after all that area that
burned down, it actually fit exactly the

33
00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:04.080
palace and the ardens at Nero wanted
to build. All right, maybe every

34
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:07.199
drug company should do this one,
you know, we should get fiser and

35
00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:10.319
cern on all them in on it. See back in eighteen ninety two,

36
00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:15.800
Ukrainian Vladimir Hoofkin he created the first
vaccine against cholera. Well, just to

37
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:19.840
make sure nobody got sick. He
tested on himself first to see if it

38
00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:23.599
worked. Well. It worked,
and he did live. Nineteen twenty five,

39
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:27.120
Adolph Hitler published his first book,
Four and a half Years of Struggle

40
00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:30.759
against Lie, Stupidity and Cowardice.
Publisher changed the name to mind Kump,

41
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:37.639
which just means Mine Struggle Airplane mccanic
Douglas Corgan. He helped build the airplane

42
00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:40.280
in the spirit of Saint Louis.
That's why Lindbergh flew across the Atlantic Ocean

43
00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:44.360
in nineteen twenty seven. Well,
Corgan, he didn't really have a lot

44
00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:46.759
of money, And see about this
little junker airplane up and he fixed it

45
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:50.439
up. But he wanted to be
like Lindberg really bad. He wanted all

46
00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:53.680
the fame and fortune that Lindburg got. So he flew to New York.

47
00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:57.120
He was gonna go fly across the
Atlantic Ocean non stop by himself. But

48
00:03:57.240 --> 00:04:00.759
when he got to New York,
the authorities there saw his crop plane and

49
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:02.319
said, and you can't do that. That'd be suicide. You don't never

50
00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:04.840
make it across there. And Corgan
said, yeah, I can make it,

51
00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:06.639
trust me, let me go.
And they said, no way man.

52
00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:10.599
In fact, we should just tow
your plane off our airport right now.

53
00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:13.400
Well, Corgan back with him.
Don't toe it, don't I'll fight

54
00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:16.199
back to California. Well they didn't
believe you'd make it back to California either,

55
00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:18.480
but they at least it wasn't over
water, right, and so they

56
00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:23.279
said, okay, go ahead and
take off. Then this morning in nineteen

57
00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:27.639
thirty eight, and an airport in
Dudland, Ireland, the workers reading breakfast

58
00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:31.240
when this really crappy airplane came sputtering
into their airport. They got up to

59
00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:34.879
go investigate, and Corgan got out
of the plane and said, where am

60
00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:39.079
I I have no idea. I
got in a cloud bank when I left

61
00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:42.000
New York going to California and lost
my barns. Can you even tell me

62
00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:45.920
where I'm at? Well, a
lot of people bought that store. It

63
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:49.040
was the front headline in every newspaper
in the world. Nicknamed him wrong Way

64
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:53.560
Corregan. When he got back to
New York City, tacker tape parade was

65
00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:59.160
even bigger than Lindberghs. Nineteen sixty
nine, US Senator Ted Kennedy from Massachusetts.

66
00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:02.000
He was at party on the island
at chap Aquittock when he offered to

67
00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:04.959
give a ride to one of his
young staffers, a twenty eight year old

68
00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:09.800
Mary Joe kopecni Well. Kennedy he
was most likely drunk. He drove off

69
00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:12.839
one of the bridges getting back to
the mainland. Kennedy he was able to

70
00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:15.000
get out of the car and swim
to the surface, but Mary Joe wasn't.

71
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:17.800
Kennedy said he tried several times to
go down and rescue her, but

72
00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:20.600
he couldn't do it, so he
went back to his hotel room and went

73
00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:24.600
to bed. When he woke up
the next morning, he let authorities know

74
00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:28.120
that he had that accident. When
they pulled the car out, they found

75
00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:30.480
Mary Joe. She had drowned Kennedy. He ended up getting two months of

76
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:35.600
the suspended sentence for leaving the scene
of an accident. Nineteen ninety four.

79
00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:48.480
people kept gathering along their waterfront,
so they weren't gonna put it up,

80
00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:54.199
but then anymore so they started blasting
the kids songs Baby Shark and It's Raining

81
00:05:54.199 --> 00:05:57.160
Tacos. Well, it worked really
well. The homeless people left, but

82
00:05:57.199 --> 00:06:00.399
the homeless advocates they were upset and
threatened to threatened to sue. But it

83
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:13.000
didn't take swrain and toccos the sky
toos. Don't need to ask whylose your

84

108
00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:53.879
married men find about out about it
sooner. That's one of the legendary jokes

109

133
00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:41.759
was going to go into opera.
I wanted to be an opera singer.

134
00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:46.120
That didn't work out for Squat,
so he turned to shock rock. He

135
00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:50.240
had all kind of weird maccab props
on stage, fake snakes, fake trantelas,

136
00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:54.879
skulls and bones. He would open
his show coming out of a coffin

a Ell on You. Now. He

139
00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:03.080

kids before he died. He died
