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

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

married to Frank Zappa's son I'll met for two years.

160
00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:25.919
Then she had a son from a boyfriend. Twenty eighteen,

161
00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:29.279
someone was diagnosed with multiple scrosses. So we wish you're

162
00:09:29.279 --> 00:09:31.039
the best. But she's actually still doing some acting. She's

163
00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:36.200
got a movie coming out later on this year, A Person's.

164
00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:39.200
Seeing the Hot Tense State. The nearly fourteen million years

165
00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:42.240
ago expansion started, and waiting the years began.

166
00:09:42.080 --> 00:09:45.159
To Coobie, Altros began to Julie, and the Dulls developed

167
00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:46.320
twosy build a warrant.

168
00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:51.080
The science sist tod unravel all started.

169
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.
