Today is National swimm a lap day swimming. It's probably

7
00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:51.320
invented after notes Flick. Actually, there are cape paintings of

8
00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:53.640
people swimming all over the world. They some of them

9
00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:56.240
date back seven thousand years. Now, if you think about it,

10
00:00:56.320 --> 00:00:58.719
this is the one exercise you won't break a sweat. Now.

11
00:00:58.759 --> 00:01:01.000
Today isn't really to get you swim laps. What today

12
00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:04.280
is it's about getting you in the water, splashing around playing.

13
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:06.040
He is having fun, but there he is that if

14
00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:07.879
you start out doing that, yeah, later on you'll start

15
00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:10.079
swimming some laps. Swimming is one of the most healthy

16
00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:12.120
things you can actually do for your no low impact too.

17
00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:14.959
So have fun swimming today and it'll keep you cool.

18
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:17.280
All right, this is going on entertainment on you in

19
00:01:17.319 --> 00:01:20.200
the twenty fourth let's go back to nineteen eighty four.

20
00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:24.040
Number one album was the Footloose movie soundtrack. Dran Dran

21
00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:50.280
had the numb one song with the Reflex Fern Gods

22
00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:52.200
didn't have the number one country song with I can

23
00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:54.280
tell by the way you dance you.

24
00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:58.840
Don't care about those guys without birds.

25
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:05.280
You made me on the stand much you lurr in

26
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:07.920
love and bodyst.

27
00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:10.400
I tear my way.

28
00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:12.360
Lets you Call On.

29
00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:17.879
The number one book was Full Circle by Danielle Steele.

30
00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:22.240
The top movie was Ghostbusters three parapsychologists. They're out of work,

31
00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:25.000
so they start a ghost removal business. Stars Bill Murray,

32
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:28.439
dan Aker, Eyden Hill Maims. Nineteen eighty two, on the

33
00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:31.439
British TV show Top of the Pops, Jeff Daniel from

34
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:34.479
the group Shallamar You Remember them Now? He did what

35
00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:36.879
everybody knows is the moonwalk for the very first time.

36
00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:38.319
No one had ever seen it before. He did it

37
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:40.759
on that Top of the Pop show. Michael Jackson heard

38
00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:42.360
all about it, so he had Jeffrey come and teaching

39
00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:44.560
him about how to do that dance. See Jeffrey called

40
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:47.479
it the backslide. Well, Michael Jackson, he did it on

41
00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:51.280
this huge American TV show celebrating Motown. Then he renamed

42
00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:54.280
it the Moonwalk. Yeah, Michael got all the credit, all right.

43
00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:57.159
What happened on June twenty fourth thirteen seventy four are

44
00:02:57.199 --> 00:02:59.599
over in Europe. The first outbreak of Saint John's Dance

45
00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:02.439
was it was in ac in Germany. Now people they

46
00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:04.560
would just be walking down the street. Then they started

47
00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:07.479
dancing uncontrollably. Yeah, they would jump and twitch and juke,

48
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:10.719
could jive and jiggle. They'd even have hallucinations. Yeah, they

49
00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:14.280
literally danced until they collapsed from exhaustion. Now they couldn't

50
00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:16.319
stop themselves from doing it. There was nothing they could do.

51
00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:18.719
I mean they apparently you could see the agony in

52
00:03:18.759 --> 00:03:21.360
their faces. They just kept dancing, couldn't eat, couldn't sleep.

53
00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:24.759
Finally they just passed out. Now that Saint John's Dance

54
00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:26.639
had spread all the way up from akaing up and

55
00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:28.840
down the Rhine River to other towns in Germany. Then

56
00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:31.840
it went past Germany and spread all over England. Then

57
00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:36.120
and early the fifteen hundreds just stopped. So nobody knows

58
00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:38.240
why or how it started. No one knows why it ended.

59
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:42.199
Eighteen fifty three, United States President and Franklin Paris. He

60
00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:44.840
agreed on ten million dollars, so they had Gatson purchase.

61
00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:47.599
Say it was good, but the United States they bought

62
00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:50.039
twenty nine thousand, six hundred and seventy square miles of

63
00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:53.719
land from Mexico. It's southern Arizona and New Mexico today

64
00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:55.919
now the United States. They wanted the land to build

65
00:03:55.919 --> 00:03:58.400
a southern railroad through it. But let's be honest, the

66
00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:00.560
United States actually took that land from Ago in the

67
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:04.080
Mexican American War, and the Mexico kept winding about having

68
00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:05.719
to give it back, so they just paid him the

69
00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:08.759
money for it. So they set up. Nineteen oh one

70
00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:12.280
in Paris, the first exhibition of paintings by Pablo Picasso

71
00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:16.519
was opened up. Pasto was only nineteen Minneapolis in nineteen

72
00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:19.639
oh two, George Dayton he opened up the store good

73
00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:22.439
Fellows Dry Goods well out. Today you've probably shopped there,

74
00:04:22.439 --> 00:04:24.040
he said. Now it's called Target, and there's more than

75
00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:27.920
just one store. Nineteen twenty two, the American Professional Football

76
00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:31.240
Association changed their name the National Football League, or NFL.

77
00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:34.079
Also at that same meeting, George Hallis he renamed his

78
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:37.959
team from the Chicago Stanleys to the Chicago Bears. Nineteen

79
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:42.240
forty seven, the first official UFO report was factually filed.

80
00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:44.639
This pilot named Ken Arnold. He said that he saw

81
00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:47.240
nine under done and invite flying objects as they flew

82
00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:49.800
past Mount Rainier in Washington. Now they were in a

83
00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:52.439
V formation. Now he judged their speed by how far

84
00:04:52.519 --> 00:04:54.279
they flew in one minute forty two seconds, So we

85
00:04:54.319 --> 00:04:56.160
had they had to be traveling at least seventeen hundred

86
00:04:56.199 --> 00:04:58.879
and fifty miles an hour. Now, he described them looking

87
00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:00.680
like saucers who were skipping the c of water. That's

88
00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:03.319
why we got the term flying saucers. Actually a lot

89
00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:05.519
of people saw that whole incident right there, but they

90
00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:09.480
weren't pilots, so they didn't count. Twenty eighteen, that's right,

91
00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:12.839
twenty eighteen, in Saudi Arabia women were allowed to drive

92
00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:14.600
for the very first time. They were the last country

93
00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:21.800
in the world allowed women to drive. Coke coke cojoke, joke, sharge,

94
00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:23.120
this Shivers day.

95
00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:26.120
We're gonna part he left this shuver day. We want

96
00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:29.360
simple targe like this Shivers Day. And you know we

97
00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:30.319
don't do that.

98
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:34.160
Bay all right, check out. It was born on June

99
00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:51.319
the twenty fourth. I guess I could have gone with

100
00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:54.319
happy Days, but odd couple of works after how Ow,

101
00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:57.120

00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:05.240
on Happy Days he replaced Arnold. Now he turned down

105
00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:07.120
a lot of movie roles over the years. See he

106
00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:08.839
would not do a movie if it had those four

107
00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:11.000
little words in it. Now he was married to his

108
00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:12.920

109
00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:15.279
they had one son. Married his second wife in nineteen

He was born in Wallington, England, in nineteen forty four.

113
00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:45.040
Now he years it comes in around fifth when they

114
00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:47.519

116
00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:52.519
and then solo. He joined the Yardbirds in nineteen sixty five.

117
00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:54.920
He replaced Eric Clapton. Now he was only in the

118
00:06:54.920 --> 00:06:56.800
band for a few years, but it was when they

119
00:06:56.920 --> 00:06:59.600
had the most success. They still fired him anyway. Then

120
00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:01.959
after they fired I mean he started the Jeff Beck group.

121
00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:04.360
I needed a singer, so you hired this unknown guy

122
00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:07.480
called Rod Stewart, then went Rod Stewart the guy to go.

123
00:07:07.600 --> 00:07:10.480
So yeah, Beck, he pretty much just did instrumental albums

124
00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:13.079
after that. He did win eight Grammys. Married his second

125
00:07:13.079 --> 00:07:15.920
wife in two thousand and five. Jeff died from bacterial

126
00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:18.319
meningitis in twenty twenty three, seventy eight years old.

127
00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:22.759
He's don't ball them, trying to find them. She's not.

128
00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:28.360
Let me tell you why she? Why she?

129
00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:29.480
The co.

130
00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:34.040
Bom Bash was soft and cool clear.

131
00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:41.639
Colin Bunstone. He is the lead singer for the Zombies. Yes,

132
00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:44.800
still is. Colin's eighty years old. He's won in Hatfield, England.

133
00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:47.920
Joined the Zombies in nineteen sixty two. Some of their heads,

134
00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:51.319
she's not there, tell her no, she's coming home. Time

135
00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:54.319
in season. Now they have tour every summer, but they're

136
00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:57.079
taking this summer off. So they made a documentary of

137
00:07:57.120 --> 00:07:58.959
themselves and they're actually going on tour in the United

138
00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:01.480
States in July, but all over the world. What they

139
00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:03.600
did is they watched the documentary of him, then afterward

140
00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:05.800
they have a Q and A with the audience. Colin.

141
00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:07.360
He is married and they have a daughter.

142
00:08:19.399 --> 00:08:33.919
Drummy the Fleetwood Fleetwood Mac is Mick Fleetwood.

143
00:08:34.039 --> 00:08:36.919
He was born at Red Ruth, England. He's seventy eight today.

144
00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:39.559
Mick and John McVie they formed Fleetwood mac in nineteen

145
00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:43.159
sixty seven. Nick Mickey was on drums, John he played

146
00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:45.799
bass guitar. Now they had quite a bit of success

147
00:08:45.799 --> 00:08:47.159
over there in England. They even had a song go

148
00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:50.200
to number one. It was called Albatross. They released nine albums,

149
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:53.000
but by nineteen seventy four they had either fired him

150
00:08:53.159 --> 00:08:54.639
or the rest of the band members. I all quit.

151
00:08:55.080 --> 00:08:57.039
So they came to Los Angeles looking for people to

152
00:08:57.039 --> 00:09:00.120
fill out their band. Well, they met this folk rockder'd

153
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:03.039
had Lindsay Buckingham and Stevie Nixon. After the lead singing

154
00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:05.000
gig to Lindsay, he said he had come, but only

155
00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:07.679
Stevie could come too. They said okay. Then they added

156
00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:11.559
Christine McVie since then sold over Runner twenty million records. Now,

157
00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:14.399
when Christine died in twenty twenty two, Mick and John

158
00:09:14.440 --> 00:09:16.399
and Stevie they said enough, they weren't going to go

159
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:20.159
on without her. Mackey married his first wife twice in

160
00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:22.440
an over eight years period. They had two daughters along

161
00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:24.480
the way. Married his third wife for twenty years when

162
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:30.679
they divorced, and they had two daughters.

163
