9
00:01:02.119 --> 00:01:06.400
Let's back to nineteen seventy one.
Number one album was Tapestry by Carol King.

10
00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:10.959
Carol King had the number one song
with It's too Late and It's too

11
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:22.920
late, It's too late, So
we really did try to be something inside

12
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:30.799
him Hide and just Kid. Jerry
Reed had the number one country song when

13
00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:49.799
You're Hot, You're Hot, When
but I Don't want to hear. The

14
00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:53.799
number one book was Passions of the
Mind by Irving Stunk. The top movie

15
00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:59.000
was Willard a nerd. He uses
his pet rats for revenge on those who

16
00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:04.040
Torment Him stars Bruce Davison, Elsa
Lanchester and Sendra Lucke. Now, if

17
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:06.359
you're a horror film fan and I
haven't seen that one, yeah, he

18
00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:08.759

pretty creepy, all right. What happened

19
00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:13.360
in the world On June the nineteenth, seventeen seventy eight, After spinning the

20
00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:17.159

baseball game using modern rules was played. The New York nine beat the Knickerbockers

23
00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:32.080
twenty three to one. It's June
teenth today. It is considered the day

24
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:37.039
when slavery actually ended in the United
States. It was eighteen sixty five and

25
00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:40.919
Galveston, Texas Union General Gordon Granger
he read the federal orders that all slaves

26
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:45.599
were freed. See word that the
South had surrendered in the slaves were free.

27
00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:47.400
Yeah, it hadn't reached Texas yet, So just like that, all

28
00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:52.199
those slaves down in Texas found out, May We're free. In nineteen ten,

29
00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:57.319
the First Father's Day was celebrating any

32
00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:09.479

33
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:13.960
city to do it, said it
led to gambling, crime and moral decay.

34
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:15.680
Now, if you got cod it
was a twenty dollars fine and thirty

35
00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:20.919
days of community service. It was
called pinhibition, and it actually spread all

36
00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:23.400
over the country. Most of the
major cities actually banned pinball. In fact,

37
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:30.039

the guy who founded the Timyard Empire
back in thirteen seventy and what today is

40
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:43.560
Iran. Now, when Michael opened
up that toomb, there was an inscription

41
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:46.560
on it. It read, whoever
opens this tomb shall unleash an invader more

42
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:52.159
