No, we want to also salute the women. You know,

National Vietnam More Veterans Day. Two point seven million American
7
00:00:56.960 --> 00:00:59.920
soldiers served in the Vietnam War. Sadly, over fifty eight
8
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:02.679
thousand didn't make it home. Now there are around six
9
00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:05.879
hundred and ten thousand Americans who served over in Vietnam
10
00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:08.680

Vietnam War veterans, and thank you all our veterans in general. Yeah,
21
00:01:35.719 --> 00:01:38.280
we appreciate what you've done. Let's see what's going on
22
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:40.560
in entertainment. On March twenty ninth, It's got The nineteen
23
00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:43.560
sixty one number one album was Calcutta by Lawrence Walk.
24
00:01:43.879 --> 00:01:46.439
Elvis Presley had the number one song was Surrender.
25
00:01:46.599 --> 00:02:02.040
So my Darling, please, sir, So went Mile Steve.
26
00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:10.719
Shines, Marty Robbins. He had the number one country song
27
00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:14.199
with Don't Worry Joey bo.
28
00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:31.599
It's all over now. O High made people wild, Lady. So.
29
00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:33.960
The number one book was the Last of the Just
30
00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:37.199
by Andrey schwartz Bart. The top movie was one hundred
31
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:40.479
and one Dalmatians Corilla Develle. She steals a litter of
32
00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:43.080
Dalmatian puppies. Now the owner is apt to try and
33
00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:46.039
find him before she uses them for clothes. It's voiced
34
00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:50.560
by Rod Taylor, Betty Luke Garrison, and Jay Pattlemley. All Right,
35
00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:54.360
what happened on March the twenty ninth, Now it seemed
36
00:02:54.360 --> 00:02:55.960
a little early in history, so I had to go
37
00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:58.400
ahead and look this up. It turns out the city
38
00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:00.599
of Paris was actually founded around twenty five or two
39
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:04.199
hundred and fifty BC, So that makes this whole story
40
00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:07.599
makes sense. In the year eight forty five, the Vikings
41
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:11.719
they raided Paris. They were led by Ragner Lodvac. Now,
42
00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:14.120
after they attacked Paris, the city of parisians that they
43
00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:16.879
couldn't do anything to defend themselves. So finally the King
44
00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:19.520
Charles the Ball he offered the Vikings a huge ransom
45
00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:21.960
and they would just go home. Well, the Vikings took
46
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:24.080
all their gold, silver and French money and they left.
47
00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:26.719
Now it turns out the reason the ransom was so
48
00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:28.919
huge that the Vikings agreed that they never come back.
49
00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:31.400
All the Vikings kept they were. They never did come
50
00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:35.400
back to Paris. Sixteen thirty eight, Swedish Lutherans they founded
51
00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:38.680
the first European settlement in what is now Delaware. We
52
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:42.479
call it Wilmington, Delaware today. Eighteen twelve, the first wedding
53
00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:45.199
was held at the White House. President James Madison his
54
00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:47.599
sister in law, Lucy. She married a Supreme Court Justice,
55
00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:51.280
Thomas Todd eighteen fifty two. In Ohio, they made it
56
00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:54.000
illegal for women and children auder eighteen to work under
57
00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:55.800
ten hours a day.
58
00:03:56.080 --> 00:04:01.599
Take this job and chully Over.
59
00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:05.560
In boxing in nineteen forty Joe Louis he knocked out
60
00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:08.439
Johnny Paycheck in the second round for the heavyweight Championship
61
00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:11.400
of the World. You know country singer Johnny Paycheck. He
62
00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:12.719
was only two at the times. I don't think that
63
00:04:12.759 --> 00:04:15.759
was him. Nineteen sixty one, the twenty third Amendment to
64
00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:18.759
the US Constitution was ratified. It allowed the people who
65
00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:21.839
live in Washington, d c. To vote for in presidential elections.
66
00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:24.720
They actually get three electoral votes. That's the same as
67
00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:28.959
six states of real estates. Nineteen seventy four are Chinese farmers.
68
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:32.279
They found the terra cotta army. Now it's eight thousand
69
00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:35.000
warrior statues that were buried to guard the tomb of
70
00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:38.759
China's very first emperor, King Shing Hung. Now pictures they
71
00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:42.360
look really cool, every one of those eight thousand statues
72
00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:46.160
of the soldiers. Yeah, they all look like different men. Now,
73
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:49.439
there had always been rumors that pythons had swallowed grown men,
74
00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:52.079
but there's never any proof of it. All. Well, in
75
00:04:52.079 --> 00:04:55.279
twenty seventeen, in Indonesia, while people were looking for their
76
00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:58.800
missing friend Akbar su Laber, they came across a really
77
00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:02.000
fat twenty three foot p fun so they acting film
78
00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:04.000
cutting him open. Yep, there was Zach Barr who was
79
00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:07.199
no longer just a rumor, joke.
80
00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:11.560
Joke, joke, show dish shibth day.
81
00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:15.360
He's gonna pause. He left this shiverthday. We won't simpletage.
82
00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:16.879
He left this shibirth day.
83
00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:20.839
And you you don't do that's your birthday, all right.
84
00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:23.160
Let's see who was born on March the twenty ninth,
85
00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:26.319
John Tyler. He was born on the Greenway Plantation in
86
00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:29.839
Virginia in seventeen ninety. Now, when he was nineteen years old,
87
00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:32.519
he was admitted to the Virginia Bar and started practicing law.
88
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:34.959
Now technically he was too young, but his dad was
89
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:37.120
governor of Virginia, so they looked the other way. He
90
00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:39.519
ended up becoming a career politician. He was elected as
91
00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:41.439
the tenth vice President of the United States in eighteen
92
00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:44.240
forty one after thirty one days. That's when William Henry
93
00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:46.360
Harrison died. So Tyler he was now the tenth president
94
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:49.120
of the United States, served from eighteen forty one eighteen
95
00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:50.560
forty five. He wasn't reelected.
96
00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:51.839
Now.
97
00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:54.240
He and his first wife, they had eight kids. She
98
00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:56.639
died in eighteen forty two. He married his second wife
99
00:05:56.680 --> 00:05:59.720
in eighteen forty four. They had seven kids, so fifteen
100
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:02.920
that's the most everybody a US president. Now, when Tyler
101
00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:05.759
was sixty three, he had his twelfth child, which is
102
00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:08.519
the son named Lyon. That was in eighteen fifty three.
103
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:11.279
Now when Lion was seventy five years old. In nineteen
104
00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:14.680
twenty eight, he had a son called Ruffin. Today, Ruffin's
105
00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:17.600
ninety six years old, so a grandchild from the tenth
106
00:06:17.720 --> 00:06:20.720
US president is actually still alive. Tyler, he died in
107
00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:23.160
eighteen sixty two at seventy one years old from a stroke.
108
00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:28.319
Fifteen years and I'm still serving time, serving time with

That was Pearl Bailey.
113
00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:44.160
She was born in Newport News, Virginia, in nineteen ninety eighteen.
114
00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:47.040
Started singing and dancing at nightclothes when she's only fifteen

00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:49.439

00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:58.680
Carmen Jones Porgy and Bess Pearl. She married a fourth

00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:00.879
husband in nineteen fifty two and they had two each other.
120
00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:03.600
She died nineteen ninety at seventy two years old. Yeah,
121
00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:05.920
she'd been fighting heart problems the last twenty years.
122
00:07:07.160 --> 00:07:16.839
Three girls are every single Mean, we joy fun. We
123
00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:23.680
had Seasons and this Sun We Climb produced Seasons of Time.
124
00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:28.319
Terry Jakes, he's eighty one. He's going to Winnipeg, Canada.
125
00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:28.759
Now.
126
00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:30.920
He started out in the band the Chieese Mean. They
127
00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:34.480
did pretty decent successfully in Canada. Then he joined the
128
00:07:34.519 --> 00:07:37.319
Poppy Family. Now they had even bigger success in Canada.
129
00:07:37.879 --> 00:07:40.000
Now he decided to go solo in America. Now, he
130
00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:41.800
wrote that song, I just played Seasons in the Sun
131
00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:42.600
for the Beach Points.
132
00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:43.079
Now.
133
00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:45.240
They recorded, but they didn't release it as a single.
134
00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:47.920
So Jacks he took the song back and recorded and
135
00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:51.399
released it to himself. Sold fourteen million copies. Now he
136
00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:53.199
ate a couple of small hits after that. But in
137
00:07:53.240 --> 00:07:55.360
the nineteen seventies, Terry he kind of pushed music to
138
00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:58.839
the side. Yeah, he concentrated on being an environmentalist. He
139
00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:00.560
had a daughter from a fun Night and then he
140
00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:02.399
married a second wife. For twenty two years and they
141
00:08:02.439 --> 00:08:04.639
had a daughter, married his third wife two thousand and eight.
142
00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:10.120
It's not in a way you seventy the brands. It's
143
00:08:10.199 --> 00:08:12.720
not a the way that you stand.
144
00:08:12.480 --> 00:08:24.680
To it's not the way you look a time.
145
00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:28.720
That was Bobby Kimball singing lid for the band Toto.
146
00:08:29.160 --> 00:08:31.720
Now he is born in Orange, Texas. He's seventy eight today,
147
00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:34.320
and he grew up in Vinton, Louisiana. Say they didn't
148
00:08:34.360 --> 00:08:36.159
have a hospital in Vinton, so that's why he had
149
00:08:36.200 --> 00:08:38.759
to go across the border to Texas to be born. Now,
150
00:08:38.879 --> 00:08:41.279
Bobby and the guys who would become Toto, see, they
151
00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:44.639
were just a backup band. Yeah, they toured for big names.
152
00:08:44.679 --> 00:08:47.200
They were the backup bands for Steely, Dan Steals and Cross,
153
00:08:47.320 --> 00:08:50.559
Bob Skags, Sony and Jeer. Then in nineteen seventy seven
154
00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:52.080
he said, what the hell are we doing? Why don't
155
00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:54.759
we just be our own band? So they called themselves Toto,
156
00:08:55.039 --> 00:08:57.840
and it's Slatin it means all encompassing. This is all
157
00:08:57.879 --> 00:09:00.759
over forty million records. Bobby, he said, all their heads
158
00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:03.559
Rosanna Africa, I want to I won't hold you back
159
00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:06.000
hold the line. He left Toto in two thousand and
160
00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:07.879
eight and he did a little solo stuff. He retired
161
00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:10.799
in twenty nineteen. He is married and Bobby is currently
162
00:09:10.840 --> 00:09:13.159
finding dementia, so our prayers go out to him and
163
00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:18.159

Now.
207
00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:57.000
He helped form Blues Traveler in high school. If they
208
00:11:57.000 --> 00:11:59.159
were just a garage band, but after they graduated in
209
00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:01.320
nineteen eighty seven and they all hit the road at
210
00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:04.399
least sixteen albums since some of our baguettes are hook
211
00:12:04.879 --> 00:12:08.600
But anyway back in the day, run around. Now they're
212
00:12:08.720 --> 00:12:11.759
kicking off their summer tour here in Colorado on July fourth,
213
00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:14.320
up their Red Rocks, then their tour till the end
214
00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:16.200
of September. If you want to go see him. Since
215
00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:19.240
nineteen ninety four, actually Blue travel they played Red Rocks
216
00:12:19.240 --> 00:12:23.000
every single July fourth. Don't know why now because of
217
00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:25.000
John's weight. John actually had a heart attack when he
218
00:12:25.039 --> 00:12:26.559
was only thirty two years old, had to have an
219
00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:30.279
emergency angioplasty. After that he had gastric bypassed. I guess
220
00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:32.200
he's not quite a bit of weight since then. He
221
00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:57.240
married once and has a daughter from it. Now, if
222
00:12:57.279 --> 00:12:59.639
you're like me, you remember that from coming home drunk
223
00:12:59.679 --> 00:13:04.080
from the back in the nineteen nineties, Actress Lucy Lawless

from her first husband, married her second husband nineteen ninety
230
