Today is National I Forgot to Day Today. It's twofold.
5
00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:42.840
It's to make up for things that you forgot to do,
6
00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:46.039
like people's birthdays, anniversaries, ah, that kind of stuff. So

give him a call, let them know that you're sorry
9
00:00:50.479 --> 00:00:53.000
you forgot, but you're thinking of him. Second part of
10
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:55.399
today is forgetting bad memories that you can't get out
11
00:00:55.439 --> 00:00:57.840
of your head. Yeah, don't let them hold you back anymore.
12
00:00:57.920 --> 00:00:59.799
Just move on. I know it's easier said than done,
13
00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:03.240
but sometimes best when things are just forgotten and left behind.
14
00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:22.879
You know what, I forgot something today? Today is National
15
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:27.079

00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:01.519
entertainment on July the second. Let's back to nineteen seventy five.
23
00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:04.680
Number one album was Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt
24
00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:07.439
Cowboy by Elton John. Captain and Tanil had the number
25
00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:09.479
one song with love will keep Us Together.

00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:18.319
Love Lovely, He'll keep us together, thing me mabe whatever.
27
00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:26.000
Some sweet talking girl comes home singing some one don't

36
00:02:55.439 --> 00:02:58.000
Don't swearing all these days over?
37
00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:01.879
You want to go to see some bread. The top
38
00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:05.199
book was The Money Changers by Arthur Haley. Top movie
39
00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:08.680
was Jaws. A giant killer shark terrorizes a beachdown off
40
00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:12.840
for Long Island, stars Richard Dreyfuss, Roy Schneider and Robert Shaw.
41
00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:15.439
It was actually filmed off Martha's Vineyard, not Long Island,
42
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:18.439
but hey, all right, let's suit oppened on July the second,
43
00:03:18.639 --> 00:03:22.000
seventeen seventy six the Continental Congress. They voted to adopt
44
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:25.240
the resolution of the Declaration of Independence. The vote was
45
00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:26.759
unanimous except for New York.
46
00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:27.240
Yeah.
47
00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:29.479
New York stained from the vote. Yeah, they didn't actually
48
00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:31.879
vote for the Declaration of Independence until it's light ninth
49
00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:34.719
when it was all over. So the Declaration of Independence anyway,
50
00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:36.879
it moved on and it was edited by Congress and
51
00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:39.680
it will be adopted on July fourth, seventeen seventy eight.
52
00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:43.719
In Massachusetts, beshieba Spooner. She was home. She got her
53
00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:46.800
boyfriend and two other guys to help kill her husband. Yeah,
54
00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:49.000
they dumped him in their well. Now, this was the
55
00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:52.560
first woman's capital punishment case in the United States history. Yeah,
56
00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:54.319
it was the first time a court actually ordered a
57
00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:56.639
woman to be killed. It's not like the Salem witch
58
00:03:56.639 --> 00:03:58.879
trials or any of that kangaroo courts out and this stuff.
59
00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:02.479
Eighteen forty three, in Charleston, South Carolina, an alligator fell
60
00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:05.280
from the sky. Now here is how the local newspaper
61
00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:08.479
described the whole thing, a saver's thunderstorm. It rolled through
62
00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:13.400
town blinding lightning, hurricane wins, trenchial reigns. No one was injured,
63
00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:15.840
but an alligator fell out of the sky. It landed
64
00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:18.759
on the corner of Wentworth and Hanson Streets. No one
65
00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:21.120
saw the alligator fall from the sky, but the fact
66
00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:23.720
is incontestable that it couldn't have gotten there any other way.
67
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:26.000
And the beast did have a look of wonderment and
68
00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:28.759
bewilderment about him, so that showed that plainly enough that
69
00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:32.240
it must have gone through a remarkable experience. Now he
70
00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:34.800
is doing as well as an alligator can do expected
71
00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:36.639
to do after flying through the air in such a
72
00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:39.839
horrific thunderstorm. So that was before the internet, so you
73
00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:43.240
know that was true. Charles Gutrow, he said that he
74
00:04:43.279 --> 00:04:47.480
had actually championed, in campaigned and supported James Garfield, and
75
00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:49.759
he's ran for president of the United States. During his election,
76
00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:53.079
well after Garfield was sworn in as president, Gatrow he
77
00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:55.879
decided that he wanted a job in Garfield's cabinet, or
78
00:04:55.920 --> 00:04:58.079
an appointment and an embassy or some joggle like that,
79
00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:00.959
you know where. He didn't get it. Garfield never even
80
00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:03.160
heard of the guy. So today, in eighteen eighty one,
81
00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:05.759
on a trade station in Washington, d C. Coatrou walked
82
00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:09.120
up and shot Garfield, mad about not getting that job. Well,
83
00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:12.360
Garfield he ended updying seventy nine laters from the shot coatrow.
84
00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:14.279
He was hung for it. Now when he said that
85
00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:16.959
he had campaigned and championed and all that for Garfield
86
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:19.399
to be elected president, what he did was about the
87
00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:21.680
exact same of you donating five bucks and then putting
88
00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:24.399
a sign in your yard. Nineteen oh one, Butch Cassidy
89
00:05:24.439 --> 00:05:26.639

90
00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:29.519
Montana with their gang the Wild Bunch, got away at
91
00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:31.600
forty thousand dollars. Today that would be about one and
92
00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:34.720
a half million dollars. Nineteen thirty seven, Amelia Earhart and
93
00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:38.079
Fred Noonan disappeared. They were flying over the Pacific Ocean
94
00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:40.040
on their quest to fly all the way around the world.
95
00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:42.439
Noonon and they declared him dead a year later. Amelia,
96
00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:44.720
they didn't clear her dead for two more years. Nineteen
97
00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:47.160
sixty two, Sam Walton opened up the first Walmart. It
98
00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:50.120
was in Rogers, Arkansas, still there but as a gift
99
00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:54.000
shop now nineteen seventy nine in the US. The first

101
00:05:56.519 --> 00:05:58.800
into circulation. Yeah, it was issued out. See it was
102
00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:02.240
a Susan b. Anthony dollar. But the problem was Susan B. Anthony.
103
00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:04.480
She looked a lot of Benjamin Franklin, so no one
104
00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:07.600
could tell it was a woman. Twenty twenty two they
105
00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:09.920
fot evidence of the earliest known time when people were
106
00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:13.000

He left this shims day.
113
00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:31.399
And you know we don't get to work to check
114
00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:34.959

00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:42.519
He rested us.
117
00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:48.079
He went along his way, one loll and once some

00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:50.079
mighty herd of red eye cars.
119
00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:52.959
He saw the blonde through the ragons.
120
00:06:55.839 --> 00:06:58.920
That was Kim Curtis singing for the Sons of Pioneers Keahin.
121
00:06:58.959 --> 00:07:01.319
He's probably better known as that, though on TV. He
122
00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:03.560
played Festus on the TV show Gunsmoke three and and
123
00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:04.240
four episodes.
124
00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:04.720

00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:20.439
He died from a heart attack in the sleep in
131
00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:23.560
nineteen ninety one at seventy four years old. Now his ashes,
132
00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:26.720
they were scattered against the Colorado flatlands. See Lamar. That's
133
00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:28.439
in the southeast part of the state. Yeah, that's all
134
00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:31.920
prairie restaurants. Dave Thomas he was born in Atlantic City,
135
00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:34.720
New Jersey, in nineteen thirty two. He started out working
136
00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:38.000
side by side with Colonel Sanders at Kentucky Fried Chicken. Yeah,
137
00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:40.000
Dave was really invented. He came up with like the
138
00:07:40.279 --> 00:07:43.000
multicolored box and awnings and all that kind of stuff.
139
00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:46.160
So once Colonel Sanders got KFC really big, he sold it.
140
00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:49.360
So when KFC was bought out, Dave he left started
141
00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:53.199
his own restaurant, Wendy's. Amberger's opened his first Wendy's in Columbus,
142
00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:55.879
Ohio in nineteen sixty nine. No, not only did Dave
143
00:07:55.959 --> 00:07:57.879
come up with the square burger, He's the guy who
144
00:07:57.920 --> 00:08:00.759
came up and created the drive through all him. He
145
00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:03.199
was in over eight hundreds Winnie commercial. He dropped out
146
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:05.240

00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:08.079
always said he believed that that was the stupidest thing
148
00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:10.480
he could have ever done. So in nineteen ninety three,
149
00:08:10.759 --> 00:08:13.040
super rich and sixty one years old, Dave Thomas went
150
00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:15.600
