00:00:19.160 --> 00:00:21.800
Hi everyone, I am Jeff and welcome to history and
2
00:00:21.879 --> 00:00:24.600
factoids about today. Today is June the twenty third.
3
00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:28.760
She made a new man of me. We got hainte
4
00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:33.719
flamingos in the FRONTI yard picked window with a few
5
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:41.079
wall morning, blue collar heaven, mister blaiz it just any embitters,
6
00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:43.679
miss We got pink flamingo.
7
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:49.479
Today is National Pink Flamingo Day. Nineteen fifty seven. Right
8
00:00:49.479 --> 00:00:52.159
out of high school, Don Firestone. He was hired by
9
00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:56.119
a company and Leo mister Massachusetts to make plastic lawn ornaments. Oh,
10
00:00:56.119 --> 00:00:57.920
he's looking Friday. So he's looking through an issue in
11
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:02.640
National Geographic. Saw some pictures flamingos. What the hell now?
12
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:05.480
In the past pink flamingosy ever thought of a tacky
13
00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:07.879
and kind of portete. Well, then they actually became a
14
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:10.400
source of rebellion. Yeah, it was a form of expression
15
00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:13.359
against societal norms and that kind of stuff. Today, I
16
00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:16.079
don't think anybody really cares. Now. If you have a
17
00:01:16.079 --> 00:01:18.599
pink flamingo, or you can get your hands on one today,
18
00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:20.799
you're supposed to actually take it with you on whatever
19
00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:23.359
you're doing. Yeah, and whether you go to that pool,
20
00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:25.959
the beach out to eat, you know, the park whatever.
21
00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:28.359
Take pictures of you and your pink flamingo and your
22
00:01:28.359 --> 00:01:31.519
exploits today. That's cooler than a selfie. Just have fun
23
00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:32.640
on a really silly day.
24
00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:33.200
Now.
25
00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:36.519
Flamingos they mainly eat algae and Brian shrimp, so when
26
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:39.200
they metabolize that, it turns their feathers pink. Yeah, their
27
00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:42.159
natural blondes. All right, let's see what was going on
28
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:44.719
in entertainment on June the twenty third Speck. In nineteen
29
00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:47.840
eighty six, No One album was Whitney Houston by Whitney
30
00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:50.439
Houston out of the Bill and Michael McDonald had then
31
00:01:50.480 --> 00:02:15.120
It's On with on My Own, on My wo we Knows,
32
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:17.439
and the number one country song with Living in the
33
00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:18.120
Promised Land.
34
00:02:19.159 --> 00:02:27.360
Our dreams are all Steve still know how Freedom Me.
35
00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:43.159
While across the Shifting Sand Room for every Woman. The
36
00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:45.960
top selling book was Last of the Breed by Louis
37
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:49.919
Lamour top movie was Karate Kid Too. That's one Daniel.
38
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:53.120
He goes with mister Miyagi to Miyagi's home of Okinawa,
39
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:55.800
That's where he grew up. Yeah, Miyagi is gonna visit
40
00:02:55.879 --> 00:02:58.479
his dying dad. Well, well they're back there they both
41
00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:02.479
have to use karate starts. Pat Maurita and Ralph Machio. Ah,
42
00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:04.759
what happened on June the twenty third and the year
43
00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:07.680
ninety zero three the world's oldest parliament meant for the
44
00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:10.240
first time, it's called the off thing. It's in Iceland. Yah,
45
00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:14.039
they still meet. Seventeen eighty four, Edward Warren, he made
46
00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:16.800
the first hot air balloon flight in America. Edward he
47
00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:19.759
was thirteen years old. Makes sense though, a thirteen year
48
00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:21.759
old boy, that volunteer freezy thing that looked kind of cool.
49
00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:26.280
Eighteen forty six in Belgium, Adelph Sachs he invented his
50
00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:31.599
newest instrument and he guesses, yeah, the saxophone. And Moresbury, Pennsylvania.
51
00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:34.719
In eighteen sixty eight, Christopher Scholz he gets credit for
52
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:38.159
inventing the typewriter. Now, other typewriters they'd been invented, but
53
00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:40.759
the keys were all in alphabetic order, so they didn't work.
54
00:03:40.759 --> 00:03:43.479
They'd all get jammed up together. So Shoalz he invented
55
00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:46.479
the quirty keyboard, and that's the qwerty that you see
56
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:48.840
today that prevented all the keys from jaminem So he
57
00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:52.719
gets credit for inventing the whole entire typewriter. Eighteen ninety eight,
58
00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:56.520
the President of the Philippines, Emilio and Gwingdaldo, he decreed
59
00:03:56.560 --> 00:03:59.560
that he was replacing his dictorial government. He is replacing
60
00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:01.560
him with a new government by the people. He was
61
00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:04.960
going to be president. Nineteen twenty six, the first SAT
62
00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:08.319
College interc exams were given World War Two in nineteen
63
00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:11.439
forty two the British they were able to capture Germany's
64
00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:15.080
newest fighter airplane is called the Fokker Wolf FWE ninety,
65
00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:17.920
fastest airplane in the entire world. They were able to
66
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:21.399
catch or capture that thing totally intact. Say the German
67
00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:24.319
pilot accidentally landed in British air base in Wales. Now
68
00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:27.120
he wasn't trying to defect or anything. He honestly thought
69
00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:30.120
he was landing in an air base in Germany, probably
70
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:34.639
not one in Germany's ace pilots. Nineteen sixty with a prescription,
71
00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:37.879
the world's first contraceptive pills for birth control went on
72
00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:41.600
sale here in the United States. Nineteen eighty David Letterman
73
00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:44.279
Show debut on NBC. It was a daytime talk show.
74
00:04:44.839 --> 00:04:46.600
Now the people who are home during the day, they
75
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:48.759
didn't like that at all. They thought it totally sucked,
76
00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:52.600
So NBC they moved it to midnight. Nineteen eighty two.
77
00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:55.680
The coldest temperature ever recorded at the South Pole negative
78
00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:58.439
one hundred and seventeen degrees. Now that's not the coldest
79
00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:00.120
temperature ever. That's one hundred and twenty eight and that
80
00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:03.839
was at a Soviets research station in eighty three, Australia
81
00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:06.319
in nineteen eighty two, and tibetan domestic cat, his name
82
00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:09.120
was Heini. He weighed in at forty five pounds. That
83
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:11.639
set a new world record for fattest cat. Well, they
84
00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:14.240
stopped that record right then and there. They said they're
85
00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:17.000
not continuing it. Nope, they did not want people trying
86
00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:19.480
to break the fattest cat record. So leave your little
87
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:23.079
cat alone. You can't win any awards for it now.
88
00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:25.720
I guess if you're under thirty, she probably didn't have
89
00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:27.759
to deal with any of this media frenzy. Back in
90
00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:30.519
nineteen ninety three. You think things go viral, Now, this
91
00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:33.399
was before the Internet, even Lorrain and Bobbit. She cut
92
00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:36.120
off her husband John's penis while he was sleeping. Then
93
00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:37.879
she grabbed the part that she cut off and took
94
00:05:37.920 --> 00:05:39.680
it with her when she drove away in the family car.
95
00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:41.959
At some points she got tired of it and threw
96
00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:44.360
it out the window. Now, well, John was in the hospital.
97
00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:46.920
The police were able to find that severed penis. Doctors
98
00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:49.240
were able to sew it back on. Now John couldn't
99
00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:50.920
but lorraina. She ended up getting off from it. Yeah,
100
00:05:51.079 --> 00:05:54.399
claimed temporary and sanity and it worked. Twenty twelve. Over
101
00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:57.800
in Thailand, seventy six months they were sent to the hospital. Yeah,
102
00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:00.399
they were attack bass form of bees. How many of
103
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:01.839

104

Silence joke, dope, joke, joked joke, show dish Shivers day,

00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:56.000
Whist Pigan actress Melissa Rouch. She's forty six, born in
170
00:09:56.039 --> 00:09:59.720
Marlborough Township, New Jersey in nineteen eighty. Probably most known
171
00:09:59.759 --> 00:10:02.720
for and Bernadette on the TV show Big Bang Theory. Now,
172
00:10:02.799 --> 00:10:04.879
before that, she was on VH one Best Week Ever.
173
00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:07.240
After that, she was the judge on Night Court. Now,
174
00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:09.440
if you've seen her on rth, Kurt, yeah, you know
175
00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:12.080
the voice she used playing Bernadette was not her real voice. Yeah,
176
00:10:12.399 --> 00:10:13.960
so obviously she does a lot of voice work too.
177
00:10:14.360 --> 00:10:15.960
She got married in two thousand and seven and they
178
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:19.240
have one son and one daughter. Okay, our quote of
179
00:10:19.320 --> 00:10:21.799
the day it comes from Jonah Sulk. He's the guy
180
00:10:21.799 --> 00:10:24.919
who came up with the vaccine that eradicated polio. Jonah
181
00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:27.440
says that or he died in nineteen ninety five at
182
00:10:27.480 --> 00:10:30.440
eighty years old. Now his quote of the day, he says,
183
00:10:30.759 --> 00:10:33.480
the reward for work well done is an opportunity to
184
00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:36.840
do more work. Thank you for being here today, and
185
00:10:36.919 --> 00:10:38.759
don't fit to follow us on whoever you listen to.
186
00:10:38.799 --> 00:10:41.720
A son got some emails about the puzzle book. Exactly
187
00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:43.840
what it is. Well, it's about like eighty puzzles a
188
00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:48.279
little more, the word searches, crossword matching, puzzles, words, scramble,
189
00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:50.480
spot the difference, all different kinds of stuff they have
190
00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:52.480
to do with whatever the national day is of the day,
191
00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:54.919
for instance, like on Father's Day, we did a spot
192
00:10:54.960 --> 00:10:56.639
the difference of a dad playing with his son and
193
00:10:56.759 --> 00:10:58.639
the daughter, and there's a word search at the top
194
00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:01.120
twenty five things that Dad's for Father's Day. For this year,
195
00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:04.600
it's a lot of fun. Our country ground radio arts today.
196
00:11:04.919 --> 00:11:07.519
It comes from one down in Trinidad, Colorado. He wants
197
00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:10.480
to hear Lisam song Summerfall. You guys have an awesome
198
00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:11.519
day and we'll talk tomorrow.
199
00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:17.120
South of the border on a beach of what sand.
200
00:11:17.879 --> 00:11:22.399
She SIPs Margart readers and works on her tan. She's
201
00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:32.000
enjoyed her vacation. In fact, she's had a fall. Last
202
00:11:32.120 --> 00:11:37.039
night at the fiesta, we danced all nine long. She
203
00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:43.200
held me closer with every song. That back at the hotel,
204
00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:51.519
we got no sleep at all. She's just here for
205
00:11:51.759 --> 00:11:55.759
a good time to let down her hair. But I'm
206
00:11:55.960 --> 00:12:01.840
having a hard time, trying hard not to care. I'm Vernans,
207
00:12:02.759 --> 00:12:03.600
swept on my.
208
00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:05.240
Feet by a law.
209
00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:14.720
She's had a great summer and I've had quite a fall.
