00:00:59.240 --> 00:01:02.000

00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:39.159
Jerry Lewis, Yeah, I don't waste your time. Go see

35
00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:42.039
Eddie Murphy from back in the late nineties. It was

As I Want to Be became the first album every

38
00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:52.159
rold legally obscene All Let's see it happened on June

39
00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:54.800
the sixth. Now we talked about when the mountain tambar

40
00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:58.479
On volcano erupted over in Indonesia. The volcano threw up

41
00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:01.120
so much stuff into the atmosph it caused what they

42
00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:03.879
called the Year without a Summer all over the entire world.

43
00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:06.960
For proof, it was today. In eighteen sixteen, ten inches

44
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:10.439
of snow fell all over across New England. Eighteen forty

45
00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:13.199
four in London, England's George Williams, he founded the Young

46
00:03:13.240 --> 00:03:27.560
Men's Christian Association or YMCA. Stay so do you think

47
00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:30.199
George would have been proud to the village people celebrate

48
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:34.319
his Christian Association? New York. In eighteen eighty two, Henry

49
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:37.520
Seely invented the electric iron. It weighed fifteen pounds and

50
00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:40.680
took a half hour to warm up. Nineteen twelve, in

51
00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:44.520
Alaska the volcano Nova Reupta. It began erupting, erupted for

52
00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:47.120
three days. Now it was thirty times bigger than Mount

53
00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:50.280
Saint Heleans. It was actually the largest volcanic eruption in

54
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:54.080
the entire planet in the twentieth century. Now the Revenue

55
00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:56.439
Act of nineteen thirty two it went in effect today.

56
00:03:56.680 --> 00:03:59.879
It was created the first federal income or federal gasta.

57
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:03.000
It was one cent per gallon. But those people they

58
00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:05.560
found an easy way around it. So the government came in.

59
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:07.879
They had to add in a minute, said okay, it's

60
00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:10.240
one cent per gallon or a fourth of a cent

61
00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:12.719
per leader. Yeah, those people in nineteen thirty two were

62
00:04:12.759 --> 00:04:15.719
pretty clivered. Nineteen forty four are D Day and the

63
00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:19.319
Normandy landings took place largest amphibious landing in world history.

64
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:23.079
One hundred and sixty thousand Allied soldiers landed four one thousand,

65
00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:25.160
five hundred men. They were killed and five thousand were

66
00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:29.040
wounded in the first twenty four hours. Now, five beaches

67
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:30.800
are where the landings occurred. In the United States, we

68
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:34.920
got Omaha in Utah. Now, those were the biggest resistance pieces. Yeah,

69
00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:38.079
so it had the hardest fighting, especially Omaha Beach. Now,

70
00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:40.680
the British they landed on Golden Sward and the Canadians

71
00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:43.560
they landed on Juno. So you know what DDA stands

72
00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:46.519
for nothing? Say, it was just a working title. The

73
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:48.839
plan was to land on D Day, then they would

74
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:50.800
give D Day another name later on. Well, they never

75
00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:53.720
filled in the spot, so it's still D Day Now.

76
00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:56.519
I think you'd have way too many contestants nowadays to

77
00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:59.519
try this. It was today in nineteen forty nine, CBS

78
00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:03.480
thes the game show It Pays to Be Ignorant nineteen

79
00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:06.160
sixty nine, five months after studying the world and winning

80
00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:09.439
the Super Bowl, Number three quarterback Joe Montana quit football.

81
00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:12.199
See the NFL told the New York Jet quarterback that

82
00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:14.199
he had to sell his share of a bar slash

83
00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:16.519
nightclub that he owned. Joe said, no, you can't tend

84
00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:19.680
me to do my personal life. So the NFL said, okay, well,

85
00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:22.279
then you can't play well for the next season. Joe

86
00:05:22.360 --> 00:05:24.000
thought about it. We're gonna he's gonna make more money

87
00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:26.399
from football. So he's ended up selling his stake in

88
00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:29.279
the bar. Nineteen eighty four, in the Soviet Union, they

89
00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:31.879
started playing the video game Tetris. Yeah, I won't come

90
00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:34.920
to the United States till nineteen eighty eight. Brazil, in

91
00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:38.720
nineteen ninety nine at the Putnam Maximum Security Prison had

92
00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:41.800
the largest prison break in Brazilian or South American history.

93
00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:44.040
Three hundred and forty five prisoners made a break for

94
00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:46.600
the gate well as the guards were scrambling around trying

95
00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:48.399
to round up all the prisoners. Two of the prisoners

96
00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:51.319
were shot and killed. Five innues sent bystanders. Yeah, they

97
00:05:51.319 --> 00:05:53.920
got thrown into the jail. Largest prison break in the

98
00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:55.800
United States was one hundred nine prisoners. That was during

99
00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:59.319
the Civil War down South twenty eighteen, in France, a

100
00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:02.120

Okay, let's see it's born on June the sixth. US

107
00:06:26.519 --> 00:06:29.839
patriot Nathan Hale was born in Coventry, Connecticut, in seventeen

Washington personally told Hale that he was caught, the British

113
00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:47.639

114
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:49.920
went to New York City and started sending back intelligence

115
00:06:49.920 --> 00:06:52.439
about the British. Yeah, they did catch him. Now, this

116
00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:54.680
isn't just a room. The British actually wrote this down.

117
00:06:54.920 --> 00:06:56.720
They said that The last thing that Hell said before

118
00:06:56.759 --> 00:06:58.759
he was hung was I only regret that I have

119
00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:00.800

seven before they ever made any changes to the group,

126
00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:39.920

127
00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:42.720
