Hello, I am Jeff and welcome to history and fact
2
00:00:21.879 --> 00:00:24.480
goods about today Today's July the thirty first.
3
00:00:25.879 --> 00:00:28.879
Spreading on your salads anyway along the way, can you
4
00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:30.640
can have it? You can get it on the side
5
00:00:30.719 --> 00:00:32.920
of the unity of sandwich and you can mix it

00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:39.159
up anyway you want to have it. Ye, And you
7
00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:39.799
know what's up?
8
00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:49.640
Today is National Avocado Day. Avocados They are native to
9
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:53.600
Mexico and Central America. In sixteen ninety nine, this guy
10
00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:56.840
from England, Henry Sloan. Now he was catalizing all the
11
00:00:57.000 --> 00:00:59.079
plants that were on the island of Jamaica, so he
12
00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:03.039
named avocado. You also call it the alligator pair. Now, avocados,
13
00:01:03.119 --> 00:01:05.879
they are a super food. They are really really good
14
00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:09.319
for you. Yeah, they're actually the healthiest fruit. Yeah, avocados
15
00:01:09.319 --> 00:01:11.799
are fruit. Now, a lot of people just celebrate the
16
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:13.640
day of the quacka mall, But you can go better
17
00:01:13.640 --> 00:01:16.680
than that. You can put avocados on burgers and sandwiches,
18
00:01:16.719 --> 00:01:17.760
on top of salads.
19
00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:18.879
So do you think.
20
00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:20.920
Avocado slices on the top of a chili dog would
21
00:01:20.959 --> 00:01:23.799
be pretty good? See? I like avocados, but I really
22
00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:30.359
like chili dogs. Today is National Chili Dog day. You
23
00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:31.920
know what I'm going for it. I'm gonna put my
24
00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:34.000
avocados on my chili dogs. The rest of you, you're
25
00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:36.680
on your own. Let's just see what was going on
26
00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:39.439
in entertainment on July the thirty first, Back in twenty eleven,
27
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:42.680
the number one album was Red River Blue by Blake Shelton.
28
00:01:43.159 --> 00:01:45.879
Lmfao and Lorn Bennett had the number one song with
29
00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:47.159
party Rock Anthem.
30
00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:57.040
Ever and We're Gonna Make You Lose.
31
00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:12.960
Every Chris Young had the number one country song with Tomorrow.
32
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:18.479
Weird Like Fire and danzline Don't no good for you,
33
00:02:18.479 --> 00:02:24.039
You're no good for me. We only breed ech olergys,
34
00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:31.240
so bosn't love your life first.
35
00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:34.639
Tomorrow.
36
00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:38.719
The number one book was A Dance with Dragons by
37
00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:42.520
George R. R. Martin. Do movies Cowboys and Aliens well
38
00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:46.400
a Spaceship at Horizon, Arizona in eighteen seventy three, so
39
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:49.240
that cowboys and local inniens. Yeah, they have to fight it.
40
00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:53.240
Sorry as Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, Olivia Wilde, Keith Carrody.
41
00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:56.520
All right, let's see it happened on July that thirty first,
42
00:02:56.960 --> 00:02:59.960
seventeen o three was over in Britain ryder Will you
43
00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:03.520
m Defoe? He wrote an anonymous pamphlet called The Shortest
44
00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:06.560
Way with Dissonance. Now it was a satire of the
45
00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:09.919
British government, the monarchy, and the Church of England. Well,
46
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:12.919
I really pissed them all off when they finally figured
47
00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:14.800
out it was a Dafoe who did it. He was
48
00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:17.840
sentenced to Pillary. See Pillary. What it was is they
49
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:20.400
would take it was for small crimes, kind of like
50
00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:23.199
misdemeanors and stuff. But what they do is they'd take
51
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:24.960
a person and they would make them stand in the
52
00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:26.919
center of town and then they would tie them all
53
00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:29.000
up with a rope and everything like that. Well, then
54
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:31.199
when the crowd formed around it, the crowd could throw
55
00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:33.800
whatever they wanted at that person. Yeah. They could throw
56
00:03:33.960 --> 00:03:38.280
broaden fruit, dead animals, dead cats, pots and pans, rocks.
57
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:39.520
It was fair game anything.
58
00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:39.759
Yeah.
59
00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:43.080
And some of the people got killed, others remained for life. Well,
60
00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:45.080
the foe, when he was standing there all tied up,
61
00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:47.919
the crowd they threw flowers at him. Then when the
62
00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:50.199
hell was going on, his buddies were going through the crowd. Yeah,
63
00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:52.879
selling the pamphlet that he was getting punished for. Yes,
64
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:55.719
That is the Dafoe who wrote the book Robinson Cruciel
65
00:03:57.000 --> 00:03:59.639
seventeen ninety. The United States Patent Office great at his
66
00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:03.199
first Yeah, I went to Samuel Hopkins for his improvements
67
00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:07.400
made to potash. Potash, it's a fertilizer. In nineteen twelve,
68
00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:10.319
the United States government they had gotten so sophisticated that
69
00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:12.879
they thought boxing was just barbaric, and they'd been trying
70
00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:15.280
to ban it for years. It wasn't working. It's what
71
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:17.839
they did is they passed this thing called the Sims Act.
72
00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:20.480
It made it illegal to take pictures or film any
73
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:22.079
kind of a boxing match. If you did, you'd get
74
00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:24.040
in a lot of trouble. Well, that Sims Act. It
75
00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:27.000
stayed on the book of the federal law until nineteen forty. See,
76
00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:29.199
someone kind of said, hey, you know what, they're televising
77
00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:33.680
boxing matches. Nineteen twenty two, in Minnesota, eighteen year old
78
00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:36.759
Ralph Samuelson he invented water skis. People thought the kid
79
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:38.959
was crazy until they saw him up there scooting around.
80
00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:40.959
I'm like, yeah, that's pretty cool, except I think would
81
00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:42.839
have been pretty hard. They didn't really have the outboard
82
00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:44.399
motors or anything like that. It'd be hard to get
83
00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:47.360
up K two. It is the second highest mountain in
84
00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:50.800
the world, stands twenty two and fifty one feet. That
85
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:53.920
possibly probably the hardest mountain to climb though, Yeah, it's
86
00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:56.600
on the bord of China and Pakistan. Now, the reason
87
00:04:56.680 --> 00:04:59.360
it's a tougher climb than Everest is that see Everan's
88
00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:01.199
has some like areas that kind of flatten out, so
89
00:05:01.279 --> 00:05:03.680
a climber can kind of catch their breath. Well, K
90
00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:05.959
two it's steeper than Everest and there are no breaks
91
00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:07.680
that that you're in it on your own. Well, today,
92
00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:10.240
in nineteen fifty four team from Italy, Yeah, they summoned
93
00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:12.800
K two. First one is to do it. It's going
94
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:15.000
to take another twenty three years before anybody else is
95
00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:18.480
able to climb it again. So yeah, and I get
96
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:21.879
this though, even though it's eight hundred people have actually
97
00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:24.879
summoned in K two, six six hundred and sixty four
98
00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:27.720
if someone at Everest, ninety one have died on K two,
99
00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:31.160
and three hundred and forty have died on Everest today
100
00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:34.240
in nineteen seventy it's possibly the saddest day in the
101
00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:37.120
history of the British Navy. YEP, it is known as
102
00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:41.000
Black tot day. Say's starting back in seventeen forty every
103
00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:43.639
sailor in the British Navy was given a daily rational rum.
104
00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:46.600
Well that ended today. Yeah, they called it a tot.
105
00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:51.560
After today, no more tots. Now, this might be even
106
00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:54.079
cooler than being the first people on the moon nineteen
107
00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:57.199
seventy one Astromds James Erwin and David Scott. They were
108
00:05:57.240 --> 00:05:58.800
the seventh and eighth men to walk on the Moon.
109
00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:01.959
But the first ones. You got to drive that lunar rover, yeah,
110
00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:02.519
the moon car.
111
00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:03.279
Yeah.
112
00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:05.480
They've been cruising around on them. Better than picking up rocks.
113
00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:07.720
They were able to go seventeen point two five miles
114
00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:10.120
in about three hours. You know, it'd still be cool though.
115
00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:13.439
Now have you seen the photograph of the face on Mars.
116
00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:15.720
It was taken today in nineteen seventy six by the
117
00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:19.199
Viking one spacecraft. Yeah, flew over the Martian main surface.
118
00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:21.199
Now it looks like the face of like a statue
119
00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:24.160
or something that's sticking out from the ground. That's actually big.
120
00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:26.839
It's like two miles by one mile now. NASA their
121
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:30.120
official stance is that it's just an optical illusion. Those
122
00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:33.160
are the same people say Roswell is a weather balloon too.
123
00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:35.759
But now a lot of people who are into the space,
124
00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:37.839
you know, the space nerds, they think is man made.
125
00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:39.800
I came up. There's only one way for us to know.
126
00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:42.480
We can stop this right now, Elon, fire up one
127
00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:43.879
of your rockets and go check it out for us.
128
00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:48.040
Nineteen ninety one, the United States, they decided to allow women.
129
00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:50.240
Yeah they can start doing combat flying. Yeah, they could
130
00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:52.279
fly jets and helicopters and all that in combat, not
131
00:06:52.360 --> 00:06:55.800
just behind the scenes. Twenty twenty three, Phoenix, Arizona. It
132
00:06:55.879 --> 00:06:58.240
only hit one hundred and eight degrees today. Yeah, kind
133
00:06:58.279 --> 00:07:00.720
of a bummer. See they had a wreck street going that.
134
00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:02.600
Thirty one straight days, were got to at least one
135
00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:03.360
hundred and ten.
136
00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:09.000
GOP GOP, cojp COJAP shows.
137
00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:10.560
Dish shiverth Day.
138
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:11.639
We gonna pause.
139
00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:15.839
He left this shiverthday. We want simple target dish shibirth Day,
140
00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:17.720
and you know we don't do that.
141
00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:22.120
Let's check out. It was born on July the thirty first.
142
00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:35.720

00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:52.600
was the narrator for the TV show The Incredible Hulk.
148
00:07:52.959 --> 00:07:54.560
Not only did he narrate the show, but he was
149
00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:56.040
the one who did all the grunts and growls and
150
00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:58.399
roars that the Hope mean Dad. Him and his wife
151

had two children. Dead died nineteen seventy nine at forty
153
00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:06.360
six years old from a tumor on his heart. Oh hell,
154
00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:28.040
that was Lobo. Not a band. It's just a guy
155
00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:30.720
who goes by the name Lobo. It's Spanish for wolf,
156
00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:33.879
eighty three year old. He was born Roland LaVoi in

158
00:08:36.759 --> 00:08:39.000
had a lot of success in the nineteen seventies Me
159
00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:41.279
and You and a Dog named Boo, I'd love You
160
00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:44.480
to Want Me, Don't Expect Me to be your friend? Yes,
161
00:08:44.799 --> 00:08:46.639
some of his big hits, But then in the nineteen
162
00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:49.399
eighties it kind of waned when music changed, but Louisville
163
00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:52.240
hit huge over an age of then yeah, Agually they
164
00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:54.080
just loved it. He ended up touring Aga pretty much
165
00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:56.759
continuously until two thousand and eight. Now all I know
166
00:08:56.879 --> 00:08:59.519
about the Wolf is that he is married to a
167
00:08:59.559 --> 00:09:04.799
wife named Susie. This salmon ring doesn't shown me anymore.
168
00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:12.639
This salmon ring doesn't mean you love is true.
169
00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:21.840
