It's a high schoolroom, It's a strange state song. It's

00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:29.519
a rat in a several name. It's a Man on

he lives up to his father's legacy with spot keeping

27
00:01:54.319 --> 00:01:58.200
him in line. Starts Chris Braden and Zachary Quinto. So

28
00:01:58.439 --> 00:02:01.439
what happened in the world I made this? Seventeen eighteen.

29
00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:03.480
The city of New Orleans was founded by a French

30
00:02:03.519 --> 00:02:06.760
explorer named John Baptist la Moity Bevinhil. He named it

31
00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:10.479
for Francis, Duke of Orleans eighteen sixty seven and Swedish

32
00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:13.759
chemists out for Noble. He padded it dynamite. Now later

33
00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:15.520
in life he felt so guilty about it.

34
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:15.840
Yeah.

35
00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:19.159
He founded the Nobel Prizes. Nineteen fifteen. Out the southern

36
00:02:19.159 --> 00:02:22.439
coast of Ireland, the passengers ship, the RMS Lusitania, was

37
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:24.960
sunk by a German submarine. Of the one thousand, nine

38
00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:27.280
hundred and fifty nine people on board, one thousand, one

39
00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:29.360
hundred ninety eight died. One hundred and twenty eight were

40
00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:33.159
Americans now Germany. They said the British were transporting using

41
00:02:33.199 --> 00:02:36.840
the passengership to transport weapons of war. Brenton vhamently denied, No,

42
00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:38.879
we were not America. They used it for a reason

43
00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:41.080
to get into the fight. Then after the four turned out,

44
00:02:41.159 --> 00:02:43.159
Germany was right. The ship was carrying one hundred and

45
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:45.280
seventy three tons of war munitions. That's why I had

46
00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:49.120
exploded and sank so quickly. Nineteen twenty eighth United Kingdom,

47
00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:51.560
they lowered their aids for women to vote from thirty

48
00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:54.639
down from thirty to twenty one. Nineteen thirty four, a

49
00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:57.960
fisherman off the island of Palawan in Philippines found the

50
00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:01.000
largest pearl of all time, seventy five. It was two

51
00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:03.560
point two feet long. Now, the fisherman he really didn't

52
00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:05.360
know what he had, so he kept it under his

53
00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:07.039
bed for ten years. He just believed that God in

54
00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:09.240
real good luck. But he ended up pathing to move,

55
00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:11.319
so he gave it to his aunt. Now it is

56
00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:14.319
on display at the city hall on Palawan. It's estimated

57
00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:16.479
the pearl is probably worth around a hundred million bucks.

58
00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:18.800
But like I said, that pearl weighs seventy five pounds.

59
00:03:18.919 --> 00:03:22.919
Second biggest pearl ever fourteen pounds. Nineteen forty five, German

60
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:26.240
General Alfred Jodel. He had great to an unconditional surrender

61
00:03:26.280 --> 00:03:29.000
of all German army yet to go into effect at midnight,

62
00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:31.560
so the World War Two in Europe was officially over.

63
00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:34.879
Nineteen fifty three, Lewis Maron and his wife they were

64
00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:37.479
fishing off the coast of Chile. They got the world's

65
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:41.479
largest swordfish with one thore and eighty two pounds. The

66
00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:47.719
record still stands Coke cot Co cot Co Coat show.

67
00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:50.400
This shiver day, we gonna pause.

68
00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:53.159
He left this shiver day. We gonna sit because he

69
00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:54.599
left this shivers day.

70
00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:57.240
And you know we don't give birthday.

71
00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:00.759
All right, Let's check out who's born on the seventh.

72
00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:20.759
The three bees of classical music are Beethoven, Bach, and Brahms.

73
00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:24.079
Johannes Brahms. He was born in Hamburg, Germany, in eighteen

74
00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:27.079
thirty three. N that's to us regular people. He isn't

75
00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:29.839
as well known as Beethoven or Bach, but apparently he's

76
00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:33.399
just as good. He composed symphonies orchestras, really known for

77
00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:35.879
his conducting, and I guess he was a great pianist. Now,

78
00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:37.879
if you really want to sound smart and say that

79
00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:40.879
you believe that Brahms symphony number three was his best work,

80
00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:43.399
followed by his piano concerto number one and is on

81
00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:46.160
Candle or cradle, that's what we actually played.

82
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:46.800
Now.

83
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:49.360
He never did marry, but after he died they found

84
00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:51.759
out that he was in love with Clara Schumann. Now

85
00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:53.920
she was the wife of his very bestest friend in

86
00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:58.279
the entire world, Robert Schumann, the composer. Now they found

87
00:04:58.319 --> 00:04:59.959
a whole bunch of poems and songs that he had

88
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:02.079
written about her. No one knows if anything happened between

89
00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:05.240
him or nine. Eighteen ninety seven and sixty three years old,

90
00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:27.600
he died from cancer of the liver. Composer Peter Tchaikowski.

91
00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:31.000
He was born in Vadkinks, Russia, in eighteen forty. Now

92
00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:33.680
he actually wrote some stuff. We know, Swan Lake, the

93
00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:36.399
Nutcracker eighteen twelve overture. You know, any need to put

94
00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:38.920
cans in his their symphony, It has to be pretty cool. Now,

95
00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:41.000
he mostly did orchestras, but he did a little over

96
00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:43.680
pretty much everything. He married in eighteen seventy seven, but

97
00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:45.240
that was just high the fact that he was gay.

98
00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:48.079
In eighteen ninety three, when he was fifty three years old,

99
00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:50.279
he died. They think it might have been because of cholera,

100
00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:53.319
but they think he might have committed suicide too. Actor

101
00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:56.160
Gary Cooper. He was born in Helena, Montana, in nineteen

102
00:05:56.199 --> 00:05:58.319
oh one. He is considered one of the greatest actors

103
00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:01.519
of all time. Started out in movies in nineteen twenty five,

104
00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:04.199
acting until he died in nineteen sixty one. During that time,

105
00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:06.240
he had a span of twenty three straight years where

106
00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:08.959
he's one of the Hollywood's top burning actors. Nominate for

107
00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:12.199
four Oscars, won one for Sergeant York. Gary married nineteen

108
00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:13.759
thirty three and they had one daughter.

109
00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:14.040
Now.

110
00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:16.040
When word got out that Gary was dying from Pott

111
00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:20.199
State cancer, he received messages of encouragement from President John F. Kennedy,

112
00:06:20.279 --> 00:06:22.720
Queen Elizabeth the Second, and Pope John the twenty third.

113
00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:25.560
Gary was sixty when he died in sixty one. Actor

114
00:06:25.639 --> 00:06:28.680
Darren McGavin. He was born in Spoke in Washington in

115
00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:31.560
nineteen twenty two. Started off having some success on Broadway,

116
00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:33.319
but I think most of us know him best for

117
00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:35.680
playing the dad on the movie at Christmas Girl. Now,

118
00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:38.120
he was actually in over one hundred movies and TV shows.

119
00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:40.879
Some of his other movies were Airport seventy seven, Rod

120
00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:43.800
Deal deady eight Billy Madison. He had four children from

121
00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:46.399
his second wife. He was three times divorced. Now he

122
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:48.600
died from heart disease in two thousand and six at

123
00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:50.720
eighty three years old. So if you do the math,

124
00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:53.079
he was sixty one years old when he played Ralphie's dad.

125
00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:55.360
