Somebody should leave, But which should it be? You need

17
00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:53.319
they need me.

18
00:01:56.359 --> 00:01:59.599
The number one book was Thinner by Richard Buckman. The

19
00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:02.719
top the movie was Code of Silence, a Chicago cop

20
00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:04.799
gets caught up in the middle of a gang war

21
00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:08.319
stars Chuck nurs That's all you really need. So what

22
00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:11.560
happened in the world on May the seventh seventeen eighteen,

23
00:02:11.639 --> 00:02:13.639
the city of New Orleans was founded by a French

24
00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:16.919
explorer named John Baptiste la Moydy Bevinhil. He named it

25
00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:20.639
for Francis, Duke of Orleans eighteen sixty seven and Swedish

26
00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:23.919
chemists out for Noble. He padded it dynamite. Now later

27
00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:26.080
in life he felt so guilty about it. Yeah, he

28
00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:29.960
founded the Nobel Prizes. Nineteen fifteen. Out the southern coast

29
00:02:29.960 --> 00:02:33.280
of Ireland, the passengers ship, the RMS Lusitania, was sunk

30
00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:36.280
by a German submarine. Of the one than nine hundred

31
00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:38.879
and fifty nine people on board. One one hundred ninety

32
00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:41.800
eight died. One hundred and twenty eight were Americans. Now Germany.

33
00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:45.360
They said the British were transporting using the passengership to

34
00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:48.680
transport weapons of war. Brenton vhemently denied it. No, we

35
00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:50.599
were not America. They used it for a reason to

36
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:53.039
get into the fight. Then after the fur turned out,

37
00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:55.080
Germany was right. The ship was carrying one hundred and

38
00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:57.199
seventy three tons of war munitions. That's why I had

39
00:02:57.240 --> 00:03:01.520
exploded and sink so quickly. Twenty eighth United Kingdom. They

40
00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:03.840
lowered their aide for women to vote if from thirty

41
00:03:03.879 --> 00:03:07.400
down from thirty to twenty one. Nineteen thirty four, a

42
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:10.919
fisherman off the island of Palawan in Philippines found the

43
00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:14.000
largest pearl of all time, seventy five pounds, was two

44
00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:16.800
point two feet long. Now, the fisherman, he really didn't

45
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:18.599
know what he had, so he kept it under his

46
00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:20.240
bed for ten years. He just believed that God in

47
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:22.719
real good luck. But he ended up haathing to move,

48
00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:24.840
so he gave it to his aunt. Now it is

49
00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:28.039
on display at the city hall on Palowe. It's estimated

50
00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:30.319
the pearl is probably worth around a hundred million bucks.

51
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:32.759
But like I said, that pearl weighs seventy five pounds.

52
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:37.199
Second biggest pearl ever fourteen pounds. Nineteen forty five, German

53
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:40.479
General Alfred Jodel he had great to an unconditional surrender

54
00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:43.280
of all German army YEP to go int effect at midnight,

55
00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:46.000
so the World War II in Europe was officially over.

56
00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:49.560
Nineteen fifty three, Lewis Marn and his wife they were

57
00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:52.400
fishing off the coast of Chile. They got the world's

58
00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:56.439
largest swordfish with one thanehundred and eighty two pounds. The

59
00:03:56.439 --> 00:03:58.479
record still stands.

60
00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:04.240
Coat got goat show this shubarth day.

61
00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:05.360
We're gonna pause.

62
00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:06.840
He left this shumarday.

63
00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:08.080
We want simpletae.

64
00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:09.560
He left this shubirth day.

65
00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:10.759
And you know we don't do.

66
00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:15.960
All right. Let's check out who's born on May the seventh.

67
00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:36.439
The three bees of classical music are Beethoven, Bach, and Brahms.

68
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:39.879
Johannes Brahms. He was born in Hamburg, Germany, in eighteen

69
00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:43.319
thirty three. Now that's that's regular people. He isn't as

70
00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:46.079
well known as Beethoven or Bach, but apparently he's just

71
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:50.279
as good. He composed sympathies orchestras. Really known for his conducting,

72
00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:53.040
and I guess he was a great pianist. Now, if

73
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:55.120
you really want to sound smart, say that you believe

74
00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:58.000
that Brahms Symphony number three was his best work, followed

75
00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:00.720
by his piano Concerto number one, and it song Candle

76
00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:02.959
or Cradle, that's what we actually played.

77
00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:04.040
Now.

78
00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:06.560
He never did marry, but after he died they found

79
00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:09.000
out that he was in love with Clara Schuman. Now

80
00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:11.199
she was the wife of his very bestest friend in

81
00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:15.560
the entire world, Robert Schumann, the composer. Now they found

82
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:17.199
a whole bunch of poems and songs that he had

83
00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:19.360
written about her. Now no one knows if anything happened between

84
00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:22.560
him or nine. Eighteen ninety seven, at sixty three years old,

85
00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:45.079
he died from cancer of the liver. Composer Peter Tchaikowski.

86
00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:48.600
He was born in vad Kinks, Russia, in eighteen forty.

87
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:51.439
Now he actually wrote some stuff. We know swan leg

88
00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:54.399
the Nutcracker eighteen twelve overture. You know, a need to

89
00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:57.439
put cans in their symphony, It has to be pretty cool. Now,

90
00:05:57.439 --> 00:05:59.399
he mostly did orchestras, but he did a little over

91
00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:02.399
prett much. He married in eighteen seventy seven, but that

92
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:04.959
was just high the fact that he was gay. In

93
00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:07.199
eighteen ninety three, when he was fifty three years old,

94
00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:09.399
he died. They think it might have been because of cholera,

95
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:12.800
but they think he might have committed suicide too. Actor

96
00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:15.720
Gary Cooper. He was born in Helena, Montana, in nineteen

97
00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:18.079
oh one. He is considered one of the greatest actors

98
00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:20.720
of all time. Started out in silent movies in nineteen

99
00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:23.279
twenty five, acting until he died in nineteen sixty one.

100
00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:25.480
During that time, he had a span of twenty three

101
00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:28.399
straight years where he's one of the Hollywood's top burning actors.

102
00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:32.079
Nominate for four Oscars, won one for Sergeant York. Gary

103
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:34.399
married nineteen thirty three and they had one daughter.

104
00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:34.839
Now.

105
00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:36.839
When word got out that Gary was dying from Pott

106
00:06:36.839 --> 00:06:41.240
State cancer, he received messages of encouragement from President John F. Kennedy,

107
00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:43.759
Queen Elizabeth the Second, and Pope John the twenty third.

108
00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:47.079
Gary was sixty when he died in sixty one. Actor

109
00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:50.240

110
00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:53.319
nineteen twenty two. Started off having some success on Broadway,

111
00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:55.040
but I think most of us know him best for

112
00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:57.879
playing the dad on the movie at Christmas Girl. Now,

113
00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:00.319
he was actually in over one hundred movies and TV shows.

114
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:03.079

He died from heart disease in two thousand and six

119
00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:13.879
at eighty three years old, So if you do the math,
