00:00:40.799 --> 00:00:47.799
Damn, today is National Corvette Day. So do you know

5
00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:51.399
who makes the Corvette? General Motors. Yeah, I started selling

6
00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:53.479
them today in nineteen fifty three. That's what I want

7
00:00:53.479 --> 00:00:56.159
to sell a Corvette. It was the first mass produced

8
00:00:56.280 --> 00:00:58.920
United States sports car. I know a lot of your saying,

9
00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:02.159
well those Chevy Corvette. Chevy's part of General Motives. I

10
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:06.200
think the nineteen sixty six Corvette is considered the best corvette. Yeah,

11
00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:08.519
by all the car collectors and all the car people

12
00:01:08.519 --> 00:01:11.200
and all that kind of stuff. Now, if you're really

13
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:14.920
a Corvette guy, have fun celebrating Corvette today. Let's see

14
00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:17.280
what happened in entertainment not on June thirtieth. It was

15
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:20.120
back to nineteen eighty seven. Number one album was Whitney

16
00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:22.599
by Whitney Houston. Whitney had the number one song with

17
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:48.560
I Want to Dance with Somebody with Earl. Thomas Conley

18
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:50.519
had the number one country song with Who. That was

19
00:01:50.519 --> 00:01:51.120
a close one.

20
00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:57.959
I loved her because she was day and I knew

21
00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:06.400
all along it wasn't fair, but I didn't care then

22
00:02:06.519 --> 00:02:10.599
I got the hell out of there. But that was

23
00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:11.800
a close.

24
00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:16.840
The number one selling book was Misery by Stephen King.

25
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:19.960
The top movie was Dragnet. Now it's just a really

26
00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:22.719
bad remake of the TV series stars Tom Hanks and

27
00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:27.280
Dan Ackroyd. All Right, what happened on June the thirtieth? Now,

28
00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:28.919
I would like to hear the backstory of this, but

29
00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:31.759
I just can't find it anywhere. Seventeen fifty five, in

30
00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:36.560
the Philippines they closed all non Catholic Chinese restaurants. Eighteen

31
00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:39.439
fifty nine, a French acroback called Charles Blondon. He was

32
00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:42.000
the first person across Niagara Falls on a tight rope.

33
00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:44.719
Eleven people have done it now, ten men and one woman.

34
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:49.000
Eighteen seventy eighty, Kelly She became the first American woman

35
00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:52.520
to graduate from law school. Yeah, it's Northwestern University today.

36
00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:55.879
Nowadays fifty five percent of all graduates from law school

37
00:02:55.879 --> 00:02:59.280
are women. Now, he was just a twenty seven year

38
00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:02.639
old clerknineteen oh five when Albert Einstein released his thirty

39
00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:07.080
special Relativity you know equals in C Square. Now it's

40
00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:11.759
known as the Tunguska event. It's the largest impact basically

41
00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:15.240
recording ever in Earth history. The nineteen oh eight Nights Siberia.

42
00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:18.400
It was near the Tunguska River. A large fireball I

43
00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:20.719
think it's probably a metea R exploded in the air

44
00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:24.120
over the area. Now, the explosion of fireball, it leveled

45
00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:26.840
eighty million trees over eight hundred and thirty square miles.

46
00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:29.479
That's one thousand times bigger than the bomb that they

47
00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:32.560
dropped on Herotiaea. It's so remote though, they don't think

48
00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:34.800
anybody was killed there. Yeah, but they did take out

49
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:37.319
a bunch of reindeer. Now they can't really prove that

50
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:41.120
it was a mid air metior burst that happened, so
