00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:06.079
Now Wisconsin and Pennsylvania they're fighting out to see the

10
00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:08.920
biggest water park in the United States. Now water parks,

11
00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:10.640
they really don't have to be beg to have fun.

12
00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:12.640
You don't have water parking, Yeah, I just go to

13
00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:16.159
swimming pool or breakout the slipping slide. Let's see what

14
00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:18.799
happened in entertainment on July twenty eighth. Back in nineteen

15
00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:21.400
eighty one number one album was Long Distance Voyage. You're

16
00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:23.719
by the Moody Blues Air Supply I had the number

17
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:25.280
one song with the one that You Live.

18
00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:46.480
Anywhere.

19
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:52.000
Hank Williams Junior had the number one country song with

20
00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:53.239
Dixie on My Mind.

21
00:01:54.680 --> 00:02:00.079
There's a promised lamb all Lama, He.

22
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:18.840
Come back. That number one book was Noble House by

23
00:02:18.919 --> 00:02:23.479
James Clovell. The top movie was Arthur a drunk billionaire playboy.

24
00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:25.400
He asked him marry a woman he doesn't love, or

25
00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:27.919
he loses all his money. Well, he falls in love

26
00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:31.680
with the waitress stars Dudley Moore, Eliza Minelli, and John Gielgood.

27
00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:35.840
All righty, what happened on July the twentieth. Now they

28
00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:38.319
are partying big time down in Perue today. It's the

29
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:41.439
national holiday today. In eighteen twenty one, preu declared their

30
00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:44.680
independence from Spain, unlike the United States in our July

31
00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:48.360
fourth prou they so late for two days. Eighteen sixty six,

32
00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:52.280
United States President Andrew Johnson, he actually declared that it

33
00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:56.000
was legal for Americans to use the metric system. Well,

34
00:02:56.080 --> 00:02:58.280
that's why he was one term president, just like Jimmy

35
00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:00.680
Carter when he tried that in the nineteen seventies and

36
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:03.400
recent ball eighty five percent of Americas do not want

37
00:03:03.439 --> 00:03:06.039
the metric system. The one thing that our entire country

38
00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:09.719
can agree on. Eighteen sixty eight, the fourteenth Amendment of

39
00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:13.439
the United States Constitution was ratified. It gave us citizenship

40
00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:15.960
to all former slaves. Yeah they'd been freed a couple

41
00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:19.439
years before, but depending on where they lived. Yeah, sometimes

42
00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:21.520
they really named the rights it all. So this made

43
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:24.360
all former slaves equal citizens under the law, at least.

44
00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:27.960
Nineteen fourteen, in New York City, at a party at

45
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:31.800
the New Amsterdam Rooftop Garden, Henry Fox he busted a

46
00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:33.879
move on the dance floor no one had ever seen before.

47
00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:37.280
Everybody absolutely loved it. They all wanted to learn how

48
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:40.360
to do it. Accent became a popular dance all across

49
00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:43.599
the country. They called it the Fox Trot. Also in

50
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:47.039
nineteen fourteen, it had been a month since Serbia assassinated

51
00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:49.919
Austria as Archduke Ferdinand and his wife. The other day,

52
00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:51.680
Austria they declared war on Serbia.

53
00:03:51.919 --> 00:03:52.360
That was it.

54
00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:55.680
Ye, World War One was officially started. Now everybody in

55
00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:57.199
Europe has had a pick wich side they were on.

56
00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:02.599
It's some record high state temperature today nineteen thirty Greensborough, Kentucky.

57
00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:05.080
It got up to one hundred and fourteen degrees nineteen

58
00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:07.599
thirty four or a final Idoh, they hit one hundred

59
00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:11.280
and eighteen degrees nineteen forty five. United States Air Force

60
00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:14.400
bomber just doing a rigutine flight, ran into really heavy

61
00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:17.000
fog over New York City, ended up slamming into the

62
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:19.600
seventy ninth floor of the Empire State Building. All three

63
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:21.639
crew members on the plane eleven people in the building

64
00:04:21.639 --> 00:04:25.040
were killed. Twenty year old Betty Lou Oliver. She was

65
00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:28.360
working as an elevator operator on the seventy fifth floor. Well,

66
00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:30.839
with all the flying depri and shopping her trapnel he

67
00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:33.759
had into. Yeah, Betty, she got really messed up from it.

68
00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:36.639
So when rescue workers were finally able to get to her,

69
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:39.120
they decided, you know, she needs immediate and medical attention,

70
00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:41.160
so we better get her down. So they put her

71
00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:43.879
on the elevator, hit the first floor button. What they

72
00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:47.000
didn't know is that all that debris and shrapntal that

73
00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:49.839
messed Betty up, yeah, had also cut every one of

74
00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:53.199
the cables to the elevator. So Betty she free fell

75
00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:56.079
over one thousand feet to the building's basement. Of course,

76
00:04:56.160 --> 00:04:58.120
everybody knew that she wasn't alive, but they went down

77
00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:00.319
there to you know, kind of recover her body. When

78
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:03.199
they got down there, holy crap, she was alive. Now

79
00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:07.120
she was kind of messed up, I mean, yeah, but

80
00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:10.720
what happened is those cables when they fill down that elevator. Shoot, yeah,

81
00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:12.079
they all when they got to the bottom, they all

82
00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:14.040
kind of made a little coil. So it's just enough

83
00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:16.040
of a spring to keep the Elepher Raider car from

84
00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:19.759
actually crashing down the full impact. Now, Betty, yeah she

85
00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:22.600
had a broken pel that's broken back, broken neck, plus

86
00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:24.639
all the injuries from when she got hit in that explosion.

87
00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:27.800
But I think it's probably because she was twenty years old.

88
00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:29.720
But it took a year and Betty, she made a

89
00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:33.079
full recovery. Yeah, she still holds the record the longest

90
00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:34.920
fall down an elevator shaft and living.

Let's check out. It was born on July the twenty eighth.

96
00:05:54.000 --> 00:06:05.040

99
00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:18.560
That was Rudy Valley. He was born in Island Pond, Vermont,

100
00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:20.839
in nineteen oh one. Now he was the first teen

101
00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:23.519
idol and the first pop star. He performed in Rudy

102
00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:27.959
Valley and the Connecticut Yankees. Now, I see at that

103
00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:31.480
time microphones weren't that good. Actually, microphones absolutely sucked back then.

104
00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:33.839
So as band, they would play so loud that the

105
00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:35.560
crowd could not hear him sing, and that's who they

106
00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:37.360
wanted to hear, so lots of times he would just

107
00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:39.600
grab a megaphone and sing in the middle. Yeah, that's

108
00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:41.480
how he sing to the crowd. He had the hits

109
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:45.639
Stein song You out of Be in pictures when Uba

110
00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:49.600

111
00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:52.040
fourth wife in nineteen forty nine. They're together until he

112
00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:54.079
died from cancer in nineteen eighty six at eighty five

113
00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:58.399
years old. Earl Tupper He was born in Berlin, New Hampshire,

114
00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:02.240
in nineteen oh seven eighteen forty eight. Earl he invented tupperware.

115
00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:04.360
Problem was he couldn't get himitted to sell it.

116
00:07:04.439 --> 00:07:04.879
Yeah, I know.

117
00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:07.480
Retailers would sell it, no stores anywhere. So what he

118
00:07:07.480 --> 00:07:09.800
did he started having temperware parties. Now that worked out

119
00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:11.759
really good. Started selling a lot of temper Bayer. It

120
00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:14.399
got really popular, so much so in nineteen fifty eighty

121
00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:17.759
sold this tepperware company for sixteen million dollars. Now, as

122
00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:20.480
soon as that check laared, he divorced his wife, gave

123
00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:22.680
up his US citizens ships so he didn't have to

124
00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:25.639
pay taxes by an island off of Costa Rica. Lived

125
00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:27.000
