You can't un umber? It's just no place in world.

20
00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:47.640
You can't help.

21
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:54.239

00:01:54.359 --> 00:01:58.680

Kidder and Richard Pryor. Ah, what happened on June the seventeenth. Now,

26
00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:11.919
a lot of people out there, they did not realize

27
00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:15.000
that the taj Mahal in India. Yeah, it's a mausoleum. No,

28
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:17.479
it was not built as a terrorist attraction. It was today.

29
00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:21.000
In sixteen thirty one, Mumdas Mahal, she died giving birth

30
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:23.759
to her fourteenth child. Now her husband was Sha Johan.

31
00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:26.719
He was the Mughal emperor. He ordered the Muslim to

32
00:02:26.759 --> 00:02:29.280
be built in her honor. Took him almost twenty thousand

33
00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:32.840
workers twenty years to build it. Mumpdau and Sha Johann. Yep,

34
00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:35.840
they're still in tomb there today. Don't fire in tce

35
00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:39.599
the whites of their eyes. Oh that fame, that famous phrase.

36
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:41.919
It came out in seventeen seventy five. It was in

37
00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:45.000
the Battle of Bunker Hill. It was during the Revolutionary War.

38
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:47.039
Bunker Hell, it's just outside of Boston.

39
00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:47.520
Now.

40
00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:50.039
The Colonial soldiers, now they put up a really good fight,

41
00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:52.159
they actually did, but they were way, way, way out

42
00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:54.639
numbered by the British. The British suffered a lot more

43
00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:58.360
casualties though, one thousand and fifty four for Britain Colonial

44
00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:00.759
four and in fifty. That's pretty much all of them. Now,

45
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:03.120
like they say, the British, they might have won the battle,

46
00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:05.240
but they lost the war. Now, on that two hundred

47
00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:08.240
and fiftieth anniversary of Bunkerer, historians are trying to get

48
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:11.479
it corrected. See the battle was actually fought on Breedzill. Yeah,

49
00:03:11.479 --> 00:03:13.719
that's right next to Bunker Hill. So a lot of

50
00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:16.520
the well, not a lot, but the colonial soldiers who

51
00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:18.000
were running from the British they had to run over

52
00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:20.280
the top of bunker Head. We get away. Eighteen thirty

53
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:22.840
seven Charles Goodyear, he got his first patent for rubber.

54
00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:26.360
Eighteen fifty six, Republican Party held their first national convention.

55
00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:27.520
Was in Philadelphia.

56
00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:32.960
Oh and so was the Chapel gone again?

57
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:38.240
Till the Chapel.

58
00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:40.879
Gone again.

59
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:46.639
In eighteen seventy one, Anna Swan looked radiant as she

60
00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:50.039
married Martin Bates. Now Anna, she stood seven feet eleven

61
00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:53.159
inches tall, Martin he stood seven feet nine inches tall.

62
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:55.639
They are still the tallest married couple of all time.

63
00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:58.479
Nineteen oh one, colleges in the University started using a

64
00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:01.639
standardized test to get a mission into their schools. That

65
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:04.599
test became known as the sat In France. In nineteen

66
00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:08.759
thirty nine, they held their last public guillatini. Convicted murderer

67
00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:11.240
Eugene Widman got the howner. Now did you catch that,

68
00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:14.599
I said, last public guillatiny. Yeah, the last time the

69
00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:17.600
guillotine somebody was nineteen seventy seven. First time was back

70
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:19.959
in seventeen ninety two. You're curious that blade on the

71
00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:22.639
guillotine who weighed eighty eight pounds. Nineteen sixty three of

72
00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:25.560
the United States Supreme Court ruled against reading the Bible

73
00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:28.600
and prayer and school an honest side note. Ever since then,

74
00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:31.199
test course have gone down all across the country. Nineteen

75
00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:34.079
sixty five in Holly, Colorado got eleven inches of rain

76
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:36.680
in twenty four hours. Now that is the state record

77
00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:39.120
by a long way out there. Say, Colorado is actually

78
00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:42.079
pretty dry now, Holly. It sits pretty close to the border.

79
00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:44.240
So actually Kansas they had to deal with all that water.

80
00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:48.839
Nineteen ninety three, on National Live TV, the Los Angeles

81
00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:51.759
police they pursued a white Ford Bronco with oj Simpson

82
00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:53.959
and now he had failed to turn himself in for

83
00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:57.079
murder charges of killing his ex wife and her friend. Now,

84
00:04:57.120 --> 00:04:59.360
see it wasn't a heigh speed Jase, though it actually

85
00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:01.120
lasted like an hour and a half as they kind

86
00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:03.480
of drive really slow through town. Oj just went to

87
00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:05.360
his house. When he got out, the police just arrested him.

88
00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:08.240
There you had some youngers. It was nineteen ninety three,

89
00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:09.959
so there wasn't a lot going on on TV back

90
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:12.000
then because we didn't have that many channels. So yeah,

91
00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:14.680
it gave Eby something to watch during summer rerun season. Now,

92
00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:16.879
if you look at your ten dollar bill, you'll see

93
00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:19.279
the image of Alexander Hamilton on it. He was the

94
00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:21.480
first U S Secretary of the Treasury, been honest since

95
00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:24.839
nineteen twenty nine. President Obama in twenty fifteen he wanted

96
00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:27.000
Hamelton taking off it. Yeah, he wanted to put a

97
00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:28.879
woman on it. He didn't care what woman. He just

98
00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:31.600
wanted a woman to replace this Hamilton. The United States

99
00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:37.959
actually got together both sides and said, no, that's stupid joke, joke.

100
00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:41.040
Joke, dish shibt day.

101
00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:42.079
We're gonna pause.

102
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:43.600
He left this shiverbfday.

103
00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:44.800

Well, let's see a barn on gin. This seventeenth actor

107
00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:54.680
Ralph Bellamy. He was born in Chicago in nineteen oh four.

108
00:05:55.079 --> 00:05:57.600
You probably know Ralph for the movie Trading Places. Yeah,

109
00:05:57.639 --> 00:05:59.040
he was one of those brothers that made the bet.

110
00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:01.680
Made his first be in nineteen thirty one, made over

111
00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:04.759
one hundred of them. Rosemary's Baby, Oh god, pretty well,

112
00:06:04.839 --> 00:06:06.680
that's something you might have seen now. He had won

113
00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:08.639
child from his first wife, he had won from his

114
00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:10.920
second wife, married his fourth wife in nineteen forty nine.

115
00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:12.920
They were together until he died in nineteen ninety one

116
00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:14.720
at eighty seven years old from lung failure.

117
00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:20.319
When I was a lad, an old chip was was

118
00:06:20.399 --> 00:06:29.079
a po Boys and Medals, Wait Stray, just a boy

119
00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:35.040
and his dog. We were both full of fun. We

120
00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:38.720
grew up together that way.

121
00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:42.199
That was country singer Red Foley. He was born in

122
00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:45.079
Blue Lake, Kentucky, in nineteen ten. In the nineteen and

123
00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:47.360
forties and the nineteen fifties, he sold over twenty five

124
00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:50.920
million records. Now, that was absolutely huge back then, and

125
00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:53.079
not for country artists, just for any artists period.

126
00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:53.680
Now.

127
00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:56.839
He hosted the first cowboy or country music TV show. Yeah,

128
00:06:56.879 --> 00:06:58.879
it was called the Ozark Jamboree. They just call it

129
00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:02.639
cowboy music. Then Red's first wife she died during childbirth.

130
00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:04.879
Now the baby girl she did live. Then he had

131
00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:07.360
three daughters from his second wife. That wife committed suicide.

132
00:07:07.480 --> 00:07:09.720
Now one of those three daughters she married Pat Boone

133
00:07:09.879 --> 00:07:11.839
now ready got married to his third wife. In nineteen

134
00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:14.639
fifty two. Nineteen sixty eight, read he was performed with

135
00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:16.920
the Grand Ole Opry. After his show was over, he

136
00:07:16.920 --> 00:07:18.480
just went back to his hotel and went to sleep.

137
00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:21.560
Never woke up, died from respiratorial failure. Fifty eight years old.

138
00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:37.360
Write a song, I write the songs, spash, I write

139
00:07:37.399 --> 00:07:43.120

140
00:07:40.959 --> 00:07:46.480
Cry Very Manilow. He is a very successful songwriter, written

141
00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:48.399
over four hundred of him. Even won a couple of

142
00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:51.279
Grammys for songwriting. But he didn't write that one. Barry

143
00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:53.560
he's eighty two. He's born in Brooklyn, New York. Started

144
00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:56.240

00:07:58.959 --> 00:08:01.959
Mandy looks like We made It. I write the songs.

Copa Cabana did not get in number one, Nope, but

148
00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:06.199
it only made it up to number eight. Now, if

149
00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:08.319
you want to see Barry, he'll be singing in Las

150
00:08:08.399 --> 00:08:10.839
Vegas the rest of the year. Check him out. He

151
00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:13.399
married his high school sweetheart for two years, then he

152
00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:15.480
dumped her and left her to go try and make

153
00:08:15.519 --> 00:08:17.680
it as a singer and plus he was gay. That

154
00:08:17.839 --> 00:08:20.199
started dating as his future husband in nineteen seventy eight.

155
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:22.279
They got married in twenty fourteen, when it became an equal.

156
00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:25.680
Comedian Joe Piscopo. He's seventy four. He was born in Passaic,

157
00:08:25.800 --> 00:08:29.040
New Jersey. He's been and I'm pretty much a dedicated

158
00:08:29.040 --> 00:08:31.839
bodybuilder most of his life. But dude, seventy four years

159
00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:33.159
old and he's still pretty jacked up.

160
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:33.679
Joe.

161
00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:35.480
He first got known on Saturday and Live, did that

162
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:38.240
for four years. Then he's been a really successful stand

163
00:08:38.279 --> 00:08:41.000
up comedian. Does some really good impressions. Some movies that

164
00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:44.279
Joe was in where Johnny Dangerously Wise Guys did heat.
