thought to be old fashioned, sweet demure, that they had

9

outdated styles and clothing and hair, that they would spend

10
00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:08.079
their days baking and knitting and well grandma's. They wanted

11
00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:09.840

00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:48.800
of living John and John Travolta, All right, what happened

34
00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:52.719
on July the twenty third, nineteen twenty seven in Boston

35
00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:56.159
they started offering the first swimming lessons. Yeah, that must

36
00:02:56.199 --> 00:02:57.960
have been out in the ocean, though the first swimming

37
00:02:57.960 --> 00:02:59.879
pool in the United States didn't open up until eighteen

38
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:02.479
sixty eight. Yeah, that was in Boston too, but it

39
00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:04.879
was actually more of a public bath. Yeah, it kind

40
00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:08.280
of gross. Eighteen eighty six, Steve Brody now Steve, he

41
00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:10.360
really really really wanted to open up a bar in

42
00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:13.000
New York City, brother the US. Steve he didn't have

43
00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:15.199
any money. Well, one night he was at a bar

44
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:17.879
drinking when he met a liquor distributor. Well, they had

45
00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:20.319
a good old time. They got good and liquored up. Well,

46
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:22.599
that liquor distributor and he said, hey, Steve, I'll back

47
00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:25.319
your bar if you jump off the Brooklyn Bridge. Well,

48
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:27.719
the Brooklyn Bridge, and that's undred thirty five feet high,

49
00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:30.639
almost fourteen stores. Steve thought about it and kind of realized,

50
00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:32.000
you know what, I don't have anything going on in

51
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:33.520
my life, so what the hell? He said he could

52
00:03:33.560 --> 00:03:36.639
do it. Well, he jumped off that Brooklyn Bridge. Steve

53
00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:39.159
was the first person who do it and live. Two

54
00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:42.639
weeks later we opened up that bar. Now today we

55
00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:45.400
would call it going viral, but it went nationwide that

56
00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:48.120
story about it. It became a catchphrase all across the country.

57
00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:50.319
People would say, do a Brody. It's kind of a

58
00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:53.159
cool thing. Though it actually meant to take a chance

59
00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:55.840
or make a leap of faith. That worked out pretty nice.

60
00:03:56.319 --> 00:03:58.759
Nineteen oh four, at the Saint Louis World's fair ear

61
00:03:58.759 --> 00:04:01.199
in his homway, he invented s cream cone. See, he

62
00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:03.439
was selling ice cream in little paper cups like everybody

63
00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:05.479
else did. Well, he ran out of the little cups,

64
00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:07.159
so we went next door to the waffle stand and

65
00:04:07.199 --> 00:04:11.319
bought some waffles. Ice Cream Cone was born nineteen sixty

66
00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:15.000
seven Doctor Starzy at the University of Colorado Hospital before

67
00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:17.560
on the first successful liver transplant. Yeah, he did it

68
00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:20.920
on nineteen month old Julian Rodriguez. Now she lived thirteen

69
00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:23.000
more months. Now she didn't die from the liver. She

70
00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:25.519
ended up getting cancer and died from the cancer. When

71
00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:28.519
she died, they looked, yeah, the liver is perfectly fine.

72
00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:31.839
Nineteen eighty three Air Canada Fight one forty three. It

73
00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:35.279
was flying from Montreal to Edmonton. Had sixty one passengers

74
00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:37.439
on board and eight crew members. Now it seemed just

75
00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:40.839
like a regular routine flight, cruise along at forty one

76
00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:43.600
thousand feet. Well, then the pilots noticed, yeah, no one

77
00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:45.879
had gassed up the plane before they took off. They

78
00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:48.480
ran out of gas over Red Lake, Ontario. Luckily, the

79
00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:51.720
pilot Bob Piris, and he was an expert rider. Somehow

80
00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:53.800
he was able to start gliding the plane then he

81
00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:55.639
looked on the map and he saw that there's a

82
00:04:55.680 --> 00:05:00.160
decommissioned World War II airport near Gimli, Manitoba. He was

83
00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:02.480
able to glide that plane in there. He landed the plane,

84
00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:04.040
but he landed it really hard. You know, I broke

85
00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:07.399
off the front landing gear. But you could do under

86
00:05:07.399 --> 00:05:09.240
these circumstances, right, I mean, no one has hurt or

87
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:11.639
anything like that. So everybody on the plane, you know that,

88
00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:14.920
they's all catching their brain thanking God opened up the door.

89
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:17.839
The emergency shoots deployed so everybody could slide down. They

90
00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:21.000
looked up and realized that decommissioned airport. It had been

91
00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:23.079
turned into a drag recent strip. It was lined with

92
00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:25.639
stands full of thousands of people. The racers were all

93
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:27.360
sitting on their cars. Yeah, the plane was right in

94
00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:29.639
the middle of the drag strip, kind in the way.

95
00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:32.279
Now in the headline and every paper in the world

96
00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:39.759
the next day, I read Gimley glider joke, dope, joke, joke,
