00:00:10.199 --> 00:00:12.880
Hello, I am Jeff and welcome to history. In fact,

2
00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:15.480
it's about today, presented by Cool Media. Today is July

3
00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:37.840
the twenty seventh shot. It is National Scotch Day.

4
00:00:39.479 --> 00:00:39.719
Now.

5
00:00:39.759 --> 00:00:42.399
In order for it to be Scotch whiskey, it has

6
00:00:42.439 --> 00:00:45.320
to be made in Scotland, no way around that. And

7
00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:48.159
it has to be fermented malted barley. It has to

8
00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:50.759
be aged in oak barrels at least three years, and

9
00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:52.679
it can't have a higher than ninety four point eight

10
00:00:52.679 --> 00:00:56.479
percent alcohol content. Now, Christian monks, they must have been borrored.

11
00:00:56.520 --> 00:00:59.159
They invented scotch in the twelfth century. Oh maybe they

12
00:00:59.240 --> 00:01:01.679
just started drinking one. But I'm giving you a heads

13
00:01:01.719 --> 00:01:04.159
up today. This isn't like our national beer days. No

14
00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:07.799
to celebrate scotch today. You sip it, you chug it.

15
00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:11.640
But it is Saturday, so enjoy yourself some scotch, all right?

16
00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:14.120
What happened to entertainment? On July twenty seventh In the

17
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:17.760
year nineteen sixty six, number one album with Strangers in

18
00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:21.400
the Night by Frank Sinatra, Tommy Tommy James and the

19
00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:25.200
Chandell's had the number one song with Hanky Pinky, My Babe.

20
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:40.079
It does the hanky Panky.

21
00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:47.879
Jack Green had the number one country song with there

22
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:54.079
Goes My Everything, Oh My.

23
00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:59.719
Dream there Cole Smile.

24
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:14.719
The number one book was Valley of the Dolls by

25
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:18.199
Jacqueline Suzanne. The top movie was Who's Afraid of Virginia

26
00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:21.599
Wolf a college professor and his wife. They used alcohol

27
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:25.400
to ruin the party. Guest Tonight Big Time stars Elizabeth Taylor,

28
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:29.360
Richard Burton, George Siegel, and Sandy Dennis. All Right, what

29
00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:33.400
happened on July the twenty seventh, fifteen eighty six Walter Raleigh.

30
00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:35.840
He brought the first load of tobacco to England from

31
00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:40.360
the American colonies, well Virginian be more specific. Eighteen sixteen,

32
00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:43.319
the United States Army destroyed a seminole Indian fort in

33
00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:47.319
Florida called Fort Appalachicola. Now is to punish the Indians

34
00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:50.800
for harboring runaway slaves. Today, in eighteen thirty seven, the

35
00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:53.360
United States Mint in Charlotte, North Carolina opened up.

36
00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:54.080
Today.

37
00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:57.280
In eighteen forty four, fire destroyed the US Mint in Charlotte,

38
00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:00.919
North Carolina. Now, I want why this didn't get a

39
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:04.840
lot more popular. Eighteen eighty eight, Philip Prapp, he invented

40
00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:08.879
the first electric tricycle nineteen oh nine, orvile right he

41
00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:11.080
tests flied the world's first military are plane called the

42
00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:14.280
Right Flyer. I flewed around for an hour and twelve minutes.

43
00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:16.319
Crank dre up to forty miles an hour.

44
00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:18.960
And what's up dock.

45
00:03:20.520 --> 00:03:22.479
Bugs? Bunny's eighty four years old today?

46
00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:25.400
Yay. He appeared in a cartoon back in nineteen thirty eight,

47
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:28.120
but he was just an unnamed standing today. In nineteen

48
00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:30.240
forty he got his first starring role in the movie

49
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:33.680
A Wild Hair. Now what Mickey Mouse is for Disney, Yeah,

50
00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:36.240
that's what Bugs is for Warner Brothers. Been in over

51
00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:38.879
one hundred and sixty seven in short films, cartoons, and movies.

52
00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:41.960
Last movie was Space Jam, A New Legacy, just a

53
00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:42.759
few years ago.

54
00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:43.199
Now.

55
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:45.400
Critics they say that Bugs he doesn't look any different

56
00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:46.599
than he has over all these years.

57
00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:47.439
He's aged really well.

58
00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:51.319
Nineteen fifty three of the Crean War ended South Korea,

59
00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:53.919
and the United States signed an armistice with North Korea

60
00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:56.919
that ended all the fighting. D Miller Taryer his own.

61
00:03:57.000 --> 00:03:59.280
It was created on the border between the two countries.

62
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:02.800
Our ministice. It did in the fighting, but a peace treate.

63
00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:05.560
He has never been signed, so technically the war is

64
00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:08.879
still on, but the United States never officially called the

65
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:11.840
Korea a war. So yeah, they're all kind of semantics.

66
00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:15.159
So I just hope that everything stays cool. Nineteen sixty five,

67
00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:18.800
President Lyndon Johnson he signed a law that required all

68
00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:21.439
cigarette makers to print warning labels on their packs of

69
00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:25.879
cigarettes YEP, warning of the effects of smoking. Nineteen ninety six,

70
00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:28.959
at the Summer Olympic Games in Atlanta, Georgia, a pipe

71
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:32.120
bomb exploded at the Olympic Park. Two people were killed,

72
00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:34.759
one hundred and eleven were injured. A security guard named

73
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:37.160
Richard Jewel he was blaming for it, although he claimed

74
00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:38.800
he had nothing to do with it, and an authorities

75
00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:40.560
never did have any kind of proof that he did

76
00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:42.959
add anything to do with that. Well, it ruined his

77
00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:46.319
entire life. Then, oh sorry, Richard. This total nut job

78
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:49.519
named Eric Rudivalt did it. But Clint Eastwood, he did

79
00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:51.720
make a movie about how Richard Juell got screwed over,

80
00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:55.240
so he's got that. Two thousand and seven, at Phoenix, Arizona,

81
00:04:55.240 --> 00:04:58.600
had two news helicopters, one from KNXV and the other

82
00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:02.560
from k TVKE. They were covering a high speed police chase. Yeah,

83
00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:05.439
they fling away into each other. No survivors. Where stave

84
00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:10.360
is aviation disaster in Phoenix history. In twenty fourteen, Palestinians

85
00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:14.079
were shooting missiles into Israel. United States President Barack Obama,

86
00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:16.600
he wanted to clarify that the US policy was that

87
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:19.839
Israel does have a right to defend itself. Then he

88
00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:23.879
condemned Israel for returning fire. Now, this is a cool story.

89
00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:26.199
Singer Neil Diamond. He had retired from singing after his

90
00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:29.279
diagnose with Parkinson's disease. Neil, he lives up here in

91
00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:33.040
the mountains near Basalt, Colorado. In twenty eighteen, Since July third,

92
00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:35.519
over four and fifty firefighters had been fighting a twenty

93
00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:38.399
square mile forest fire up there. Now, it took him

94
00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:40.079
twenty four days, but they were finally able to get

95
00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:42.720
that fire under control. So once it was under control,

96
00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:44.680
Neil grabbed his guitar and went to the fire command

97
00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:48.120
center gave an imprompted concert for all those firefighters. He

98
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:50.480
has his way of saying thank you for saving his community.

99
00:05:51.319 --> 00:05:52.920
Coat.

100
00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:58.600
Coat, coat, show this shimmer O day we're gonna pull

101
00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:01.319
he left this shivery. We won't sit patage.

102
00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:03.959
He's like this ship birthday, and you know we don't

103
00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:05.959
because that's a birthday.

104
00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:06.439
All right.

105
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:09.160
It was born on July the twenty seventh. Alan Breed.

106
00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:12.360
He was born in nineteen twenty seven in Chicago. It's

107
00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:13.160
what Alan did.

108
00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:16.160
Oh, he invented your car's airbags. Now, well, actually a

109
00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:17.920
Swedish guy invented the bag itself.

110
00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:18.639
See Allen.

111
00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:20.959
He invented the censor that causes the bag to deploy.

112
00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:23.160
Now the bags are nice and noll, but without that

113
00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:25.959
censor to deploy him, they're pretty much worthless. He died

114
00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:28.000
in two thousand and seventy two years old. They very

115
00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:46.399
rich men. Yeah, that's a hard one. It's from the

116
00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:51.000
sitcom Coach. Actor comedian Jerry Van Dyck was born in Danville, Illinois,

117

first acting job was on The Dick Van Dyke Show. Yeah,

121
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:05.000
it was a real stretch. He had to play Robert

122
00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:08.319
Petrie's brother in several episodes. His first starring role on

123
00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:10.920
TV was in the Show My Mother the Car that

124
00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:13.959
is considered the worst TV show ever. He had three

125
00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:16.199
children from his first wife. He married his second wife

126
00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:19.199

127
00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:29.920
seventy six years old from heart failure. Gary Guy GaX

128
00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:32.480
He was born in Chicago in nineteen thirty eight. Now.

129
00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:35.319
Along with his friend Dave Arness, they created the role

130
00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:39.040
game Dungeons and Dragons Yeah nineteen seventy four, and Gary

131
00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:42.639
Inn stopped there. He created Advanced Dungeons and Dragons. Then Gary,

132
00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:45.040
he really shocked the world, might be the first D

133
00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:46.639

134
00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:47.120

He died in two thousand and eight at sixty nine

141
00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:00.639
years old from an abdomino ajortic aneurysm.

142
00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:06.040
And Mama hollered at the back door, y'all remembered, wipe

143
00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:10.519
your feet, and then she.

144
00:08:10.639 --> 00:08:14.879
Said, I got some neooze this morning from chock Tovridge.

145
00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:23.160
Today. Billy Joe McCallister jumped off the Tellertchee Bridge.

146
00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:27.160
That was singer Bobby Gentry. She's eighty two.

147
00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:30.360
She was born near Woodland, Mississippi, in nineteen forty two.

148
00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:32.240
She was one of the first women to be able

149
00:08:32.279 --> 00:08:34.480
to write and produce her own music. Some of her

150
00:08:34.519 --> 00:08:37.279
heads were Oh to Billy Joe, let it be me fancy,

151
00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:40.039
she related to her last album in nineteen seventy one,

152
00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:42.279
then nineteen eighty two, and she was thirty nine years old.

153
00:08:42.440 --> 00:08:45.200
She just retired from music completely, said she was tired

154
00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:47.000
of it and didn't want to do it anymore. So

155
00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:50.240
she hasn't recorded, performed, or done an interview since. She

156
00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:53.039
has three times divorced, never lasted longer than two years.

157
00:08:53.360 --> 00:08:55.840
Her third husband was Jim Stafford. He's a dude who

158
00:08:55.840 --> 00:08:58.159
sang that song I Hate Spiders and Snakes. They did

159
00:08:58.240 --> 00:08:58.840
have one daughter.

160
00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:02.200
I saw eighty on TV this week. I was watching

161
00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:04.559
one of those animal shows on the Discovery Channel. There

162
00:09:04.639 --> 00:09:07.600
was a guy inventing a shark bite suit. There's only

163
00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:10.879
one way to test, man, you gotta get bent by

164
00:09:10.919 --> 00:09:13.759
a shark. The guy was invented one doing the test,

165
00:09:13.799 --> 00:09:14.960
and he had his buddy helping him.

166
00:09:14.960 --> 00:09:15.080
