1
00:00:10.119 --> 00:00:13.720
Well, hi, I am Jeff
and welcome to History and Factoids about Today,

2
00:00:13.720 --> 00:00:23.000
presented by Cool Media. Today's June
the twenty fourth. We're going today,

3
00:00:23.399 --> 00:00:29.960
So come on, it's always so
much fun to so swimming again,

4
00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:40.119
jumpsy disnal blood. It is National
Swimming Lap Day. Swimming. It was

5
00:00:40.119 --> 00:00:43.600
probably invented after not it's flood.
You know. There are actually cape paintings

6
00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:46.840
depicting people swimming all over the world. Some of them date back seven thousand

7
00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:49.880
years. Now, if you think
about it, this is the one exercise

8
00:00:49.880 --> 00:00:53.200
where you won't break a sweat.
Now, today really isn't about you swimming

9
00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:56.640
laps. It's about getting you in
the water, splashing, playing around cool

10
00:00:56.719 --> 00:01:00.000
enough. The thought is that if
you do that, maybe you'll start swimming

11
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:03.640
some laps later on. So just
have fun swimming today, all right,

12
00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:06.760
this is going on in entertainment on
June twenty fourth. It's back to nineteen

13
00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:10.840
ninety two. Number one album was
Some Gave All What. Billy ray Cyrus

14
00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:37.680
Mariah Carey had the number one song

Aky Breaky Heart, Oh you Can Tell

16
00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:49.359
Me TIBs, tail tips, still
won't be reaching out for you, don't.

17
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:59.760
I just don't think you don't understand
it. You tell my Breggy.

18
00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:08.400
The number one book was Jewels by
Danielle Steele. Top movie was Batman Returns.

19
00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:13.800
While Batman is dealing with the Penguin, Catwoman starts causing trouble, stars

20
00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:17.280
Michael Keaton, Danny DeVito, and
Michelle Pfeiffer. In nineteen eighty two,

21
00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:22.840
on the British show Top of the
Pops, Jeffrey Daniel from the band Shallamar

22
00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:24.840
Remember Them Well? He did the
moonwalk for the first time. No one

23
00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:29.159
had ever seen it before. Michael
Jackson heard about it and had Jeffrey teach

24
00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:32.199
him what Jeffrey called the backslide.
Then Michael did it on a huge TV

25
00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:38.159
American show called This Celebrating Motown,
except he named it the moonwalk and got

26
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:40.120
all the credit, all right.
What Happened in the World on June the

27
00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:45.960
twenty fourth, thirteen seventy four is
a force recruited outbreak of the Saint John's

28
00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:50.159
dance Yeah I was recorded at act
in Germany. Now people they would just

29
00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:53.960
be walking down the street and they
start dancing uncontrollably. They would jump twitch

30
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:58.080
hallucinate. Yeah, they would literally
dance until they collapsed from exhaustion. Now

31
00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:00.159
they couldn't stop themselves. You could
see the agony in their faces. But

32
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:04.280
they just kept twitching and furting and
dancing and all that kind of stuff.

33
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:06.919
Yeah, and then finally they couldn't
sleep, they couldn't eat, and then

34
00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:08.919
they just pass out. Now it
spread from Auchen. Yeah, I just

35
00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:12.719
kept going up and down the Rhine
River there in Germany. Then I spread

36
00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:15.000
all over Europe, and that outbreaks
until the fifteen hundreds. Then they just

37
00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:21.120
stopped. Nobody knows what started and
what ended it. Seventeen fifty Jesuit Prix

38
00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:23.719
so the first mass at the Little
Chapel and Tatasac. It's in Quebec,

39
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:30.319
Canada. Now it's the oldest surviving
church in North America. Eighteen fifty three,

40
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:34.639
United States President Franklin Pierce signed the
check for the Godson purchase. United

41
00:03:34.680 --> 00:03:38.080
States bought twenty nine thousand, six
center and seventy square miles of land from

42
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:42.599
Mexico for ten million bucks. Now
that land is southern Arizona and New Mexico.

43
00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:45.319
Yes, they needed the land in
order to make it easier to build

44
00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:49.240
a railroad. In nineteen oh one, in Paris, the first exhibition of

45
00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:55.719
paintings by Pablo Picasso opened up.
Picasso was nineteen nineteen oh two and Minneapolis,

46
00:03:55.759 --> 00:04:00.400
Minnesota, George Dayton he opened up
his first stor called good Fellows drag

47
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:03.759
Goods. You know what you probably
shop there sometimes anyway, it's called Target.

48
00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:10.560
Nineteen twenty two, the American Professional
Football Association renamed hisself the National Football

49
00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:14.240
League, or NFL. Also at
that meeting, George hallis the owner of

50
00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:17.240
the Chicago Football Club. He renamed
his team from the Chicago Statelies to the

51
00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:23.560
Chicago Bears. Nineteen forty seven,
the first official UFO report was filed by

52
00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:26.959
a pilot. His name was Ken
Arnold. He said that he saw nine

53
00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:31.160
unidentified objects flying past Mount Rainier in
Washington in a v formation, and he

54
00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:34.720
judged by their speed that they flew
in one minute. In fifty forty two

55
00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:39.040
seconds, they must have been going
about seventeen hundred and fifty miles an hour.

56
00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:43.480
He described them looking like saucers skipping
across the water. That turned into

57
00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:46.319
the term flying susser. Now a
lot of people actually saw that, but

58
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:50.399
they weren't pilots, so they didn't
really count. In twenty eighteen in Saudi

59
00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:55.399
Arabia, let me repeat that.
In twenty eighteen, in Saudi Arabia,

60
00:04:55.480 --> 00:04:58.519
women were allowed to drive cars for
the first time. They were the last

61

because that's a birthday. Let's check

65
00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:34.720

69
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:48.920
bunch of movie rolls. He would
not do a movie if they said the

70
00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:53.279
four little words in it. He

00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:56.240

78
00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:39.360
he's only with the band a couple
of years, but he's with them when

79
00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:42.319
they had their biggest success. It
didn't matter they fired him anyway, so

80
00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:45.800
he started with Jeff Beck group.
He went and hired an unknown Lean singer

81
00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:48.360
named Rod Stewart. Now, after
Rod left and went solo back, he

82
00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:51.600
just pretty much did instrumental albums.
After that, did win eight Grammys.

85
00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:04.079
years old. He's don't bother trying
to find her. She's not there.

86
00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:10.600
Let me tell you about the way
she tell her, The way she had.

87
00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:20.879
The color Almas was soft and cold. Caroline Colin Blenstone is the lead

00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:35.240
two. Some of their hits She's
not there, tell her No, She's

92
00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:40.199
coming home time in season. Now
they've taken a couple of breaks over the

93
00:07:40.279 --> 00:07:43.319
year, but obviously they're still performing. They're in the Rock and Roll Hall

94
00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:57.560
of Fame and Colin is married and
they have a daughter, Techs Roney.

95
00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:11.160
The Fleetwood Fleetwood MACA is Mick Fleetwood. He was born in red Ruth,

96
00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:15.639
England, in nineteen forty seven.
He's seventy seven now. Mick and John

97
00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:18.839
McVie they formed Fleetwood back back in
nineteen sixty seven. Mick was on drums

98
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:22.920
and McVie was on bass guitar.
They actually had quite a bit of success

99
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:24.759
over in England. They even had
a song called Albatrosse went to number one.

100
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:28.680
They released nine albums, but by
nineteen seventy four are they'd either fired

101
00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:31.440
or all the rest of the band
members that quit, so they went to

102
00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:35.840
Los Angeles looking for people to fill
out their band. They ran into a

103
00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:39.639
folk rock Duelka that had Lindsay Buckingham
and Stevie Nixon it. They offered their

104
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:43.399
lead singer gig to Lindsay. He
said, hed only do it if they

105
00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:46.279
brought Stevie along. Since then they
sold. There were one hundred and twenty

106
00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:50.360
million records. Now, when Christine
McVie died in twenty twelve or twenty twenty

107
00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:52.759
two, Mick John and Stevie they
decided they weren't going to tour anymore without

108
00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:56.799
her. Now, Mick, he
had so much fun with her. He

109
00:08:56.879 --> 00:08:58.720
married his first wife twice, they
had two daughters, and he married his

110
00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:01.720
third wife for twenty years. When
they divorced, they had two daughters.

111
00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:11.480

marriage. If you please don't see a
