Damon Wayne's junior, Carlton Fisk, Jojo just some of the
121
00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:56.439
people born in the Green Mountain State. So before starting
122
00:07:56.439 --> 00:07:58.560
in seventeen eighty nine on the first time when George
123
00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:02.399
Washington was an inaugurated as president, they always held the
124
00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:05.839
inauguration on March fourth, all the way up until nineteen
125
00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:09.639
thirty nineteen thirty seven. So we've got some clips of
126
00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:13.120
some of the most kind of just interesting thing that
127
00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:17.079
happened when people were being inaugurated on March the fourth,
128
00:08:17.639 --> 00:08:21.480
so like on January, well ever since Washington was there
129
00:08:21.839 --> 00:08:24.439
in nineteen ninety three, George Washington, his speech is in
130
00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:26.360
notugreat to speak one hundred and thirty three words. The
131
00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:30.439
shortest speech is inauguration history eighteen oh nine, James Madison.
132
00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:32.600
He was the first president be sworn in wearing clothes
133
00:08:32.639 --> 00:08:35.919
that were actually made in America. Eighteen forty one William
134
00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:38.639
Henry Rrison. He gave the longest speech eight four and
135
00:08:38.919 --> 00:08:42.279
forty three words, took him over two hours, got pneumonia
136
00:08:42.279 --> 00:08:46.000
and died one month later. Nineteen oh five, Theodore Roosevelt.
137
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:48.200
He's the only night as president in his entire speech,
138
00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:50.720
you never used I. He always said, we asked for
139
00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:52.639
fellow citizens. Yeah. It's the only president who's ever to
140
00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:54.480
pull that one off. So that's what you call a
141
00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:58.879
team player there. In nineteen what's that?
142
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:03.480
Yeah, I can't imagine Nevers ad the word eye because
143
00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:04.440
I need eye a lot.
144
00:09:04.759 --> 00:09:06.720
I don't know how he did it.
145
00:09:06.919 --> 00:09:10.559
I mean yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean, I mean you
146
00:09:10.639 --> 00:09:13.679
got to be a really well, really well trained speaker
147
00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:15.559
to do that exactly.
148
00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:20.799
I know, yeah, said I. In nineteen oh two, in Chicago,
149
00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:24.200
the American Automobile Association started We Know Best is Triple A.
150
00:09:25.399 --> 00:09:28.000
In nineteen twenty three, things were getting tougher in the
151
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:30.360
United States. Man they were trying to stop a civil
152
00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:32.960
war from breaking out. Congress had to step in in
153
00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:36.120
order to call both sides they made to declare that
154
00:09:36.360 --> 00:09:41.960
butter it must be eighty percent milk fat. So people wow.
155
00:09:42.679 --> 00:09:46.320
In nineteen thirty m Fabruary, she was the first. She
156
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:48.240
bowled the first three hundred perfect game by a woman.
157
00:09:49.039 --> 00:09:49.600

158
00:09:51.080 --> 00:09:53.320
I have bowed, but I can't bowth No three hundred.
159
00:09:53.480 --> 00:09:56.720
You know, I voted a ninety, like a ninety five,
160
00:09:56.759 --> 00:09:59.720
but never. I mean, I can't get up to triple distance,
161
00:09:59.759 --> 00:10:02.919
you know exactly. I tried. It's hard.
162
00:10:04.120 --> 00:10:07.440
Nineteen fifty nine NASA's Pioneer four spacecraft. See, we had
163
00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:09.200

a couple of days ago to the moon. Well we missed.
166
00:10:14.279 --> 00:10:18.559
It just kept going. So that was a big election
167
00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:21.440
was held in Brazil in nineteen ninety seven. Well it passed.
168
00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:23.399
It finally allowed women in Brazil. They were allowed to
169
00:10:23.399 --> 00:10:28.200
wear snacks really yeah, or slacks. I'm sorry if i'd.
170
00:10:27.879 --> 00:10:30.279
Sacks, I'm like, what's a snack?
171
00:10:32.120 --> 00:10:36.080
Okay? So you said earlier you have cerebral balls, that
172
00:10:36.120 --> 00:10:38.480
you've been born with it, So what is kind of
173
00:10:38.919 --> 00:10:41.240
is it just you and your self drive that keeps
174
00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:43.279
you to just keep getting past it and moving on
175
00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:45.480
or did you have like really good parents who inspired
176
00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:45.919
that drive.
177
00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:50.960
My parents are like the best parents ever, because they
178
00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:56.120
always told me, do not let anybody get it down,
179
00:10:56.200 --> 00:10:58.679
don't lett them do what other people slay, you know,
180
00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:05.200
and and for me, I mean being being with heaving
181
00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:08.399
several policies. The only thing I know, you know, because
182
00:11:08.519 --> 00:11:10.919
you're because the only way you can get is if
183
00:11:10.919 --> 00:11:13.039
you're born with You can't come out of the roomb
184
00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:14.720
and get it at the work. You have to be
185
00:11:14.840 --> 00:11:17.159
born with it, you know. So that's all I knew.
186
00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:20.639
You know. So I did pass high school. I passed
187
00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:23.279
a little little bit of college, but not I can.
188
00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:27.320
I've always had trouble with math, so my mom and
189
00:11:27.399 --> 00:11:33.360
dad always had me in special education classes. And so
190
00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:36.720
I when I passed high school, you know, I mean,
191
00:11:36.799 --> 00:11:39.960
the next time would be college. But we moved to
192
00:11:40.440 --> 00:11:44.200
subter because that's where my mom's from, and I worked
193
00:11:44.200 --> 00:11:48.600
at the college for ten years and uh so, yeah,
194
00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:52.600
but yeah, I never let my TP get me down,
195
00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:55.000
because that's all I all I knew, you know, so.
196
00:11:55.399 --> 00:11:58.120
Right, And the great thing is you definitely didn't hold
197
00:11:58.159 --> 00:11:59.919
it down and you just kind of like moved on past,
198
00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:03.399
which is really cool. You didn't. I did total inspiration
199
00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:05.759
for others out there. Hey, let's play another one of
200
00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:07.639
your songs. You went rock this time, you know with
201
00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:27.840

202
00:12:27.879 --> 00:12:28.720
you lack at that time?
203
00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:35.039
So my my one of my first albums was well,
204
00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:38.279
my first album was a C D c uh. I
205
00:12:38.279 --> 00:12:40.360
had been done it and I had the CD, you know,
206
00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:43.879
but I can't remember the first time I heard my
207
00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:46.240
own Summer by the Deathtones. But I just fell in
208
00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:50.679
love with instanly, you know. And that's actually another band
209
00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:53.080
playing the song for me because I came up with
210
00:12:53.399 --> 00:12:57.159
pathos and logos, you know, I said I'm featuring them, uh,
211
00:12:57.200 --> 00:13:01.120
and and we sat down and uh kind of talked
212
00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:03.240
about it and up the table with and it turned
213
00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:06.799
out perfectly. Yeah. But I've been a really big big
214
00:13:06.840 --> 00:13:08.919
fan of Death Tone, saying my own summerho is my
215
00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:12.600
favorite song from him. So I'm like, well, why don't
216
00:13:12.639 --> 00:13:15.120

00:13:15.279 --> 00:13:15.919
So we do it.
218
00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:18.759
You know, well that sounds great. All right, let's check
219
00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:22.840
out it. Oh go ahead, Oh no, yep, okay, let's
220
00:13:22.840 --> 00:13:25.159
just check out who's born on March the fourth actor
221
00:13:25.200 --> 00:13:27.919

222
00:13:27.960 --> 00:13:30.559
forty seven, Gunner he stood six foot four and weighed
223
00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:33.399
over three hundred and twenty pounds. Now, after getting his
224
00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:36.320
master's degree, he was working as a computer scientist when
225
00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:38.120
he decided to give it all up and become an actor.
226
00:13:38.600 --> 00:13:41.080
