4
00:00:50.679 --> 00:00:53.439
have gotten together for drinks after work for a long time,

5
00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:56.600
but it was the United States Navy that actually created

6
00:00:56.640 --> 00:00:59.960
happy Hour nineteen thirteen. Yeah, they would celebrate a hard

7
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:03.479
day's work with boxing matches, dancing, drinking boost Now the

8
00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:06.120
alcohol had to be smuggled on the ships illegally say

9
00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:08.560
it was against regulations, but during happy hour the officers

10
00:01:08.599 --> 00:01:11.159
they just looked the other way. Now it's spread to

11
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:12.920
the mainland after that. So whether you want to just

12
00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:15.719
bond with co workers or meet up with friends happy

00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:19.480

23
00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:04.799

00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:12.560

27
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:35.159
Condrie Ma Contry. The number one book Wes Centennio by

28
00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:39.080
James Mitchener. Top movie was Earthquake, A huge earthquake. It's

29
00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:43.080
Los Angeles. It stars Charlton Heston, Ava Gardner, George Kennedy,

30
00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:45.879
Lauren Green, Richard Roundtree. Yeah, a whole bunch more.

31
00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:46.919
All right?

32
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:49.879
What happened on November the twelfth, eighteen fifty nine, over

33
00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:53.120
in Paris, France. Jules Leotard he performed the first fine

34
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:56.080
trappee circuits actor. Yeah, even designed his own costume. He

35
00:02:56.080 --> 00:02:58.800
called it Leotard. Now, those first leotards, they were actually

36
00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:02.719
made from knitted wool. In Australia eighteen ninety five, Lawrence

37
00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:05.840
Hargrove he invented the box kite. So he connected four

38
00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:07.879
boxes together. Now, not only did he get him off

39
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:10.080
the ground, he was able to fly used piano wire

40
00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:12.879
for a string. Now, box kites they are harder to fly,

41
00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:14.560
but you can get him a lot higher than you

42
00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:18.800
can just a regular kite. Nineteen twenty six and southern Illinois.

43
00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:22.400
Two gangs, the Sheltons and the Bergers. They were selling

44
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:25.400
liquor illegally, you know, because of prohibition. But they just

45
00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:29.000
absolutely hated each other. Now, because it was in rural

46
00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:31.599
southern Illinois, yeah, I didn't get a lot of press coverings.

47
00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:34.000
You know, it was all up north in Chicago. And yeah,

48
00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:36.199
so they were pretty but it was a serious gang.

49
00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:39.240
Or they did drive by shootings, they set up bombs,

50
00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:42.800
they used homemade armored trucks. But today the Sulting Gang,

51
00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:45.360
they used an airplane to drop homemade dynamite bombs on

52
00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:48.439
the Burger's house. Yeah, well, the bomb's missed, but it

53
00:03:48.479 --> 00:03:50.919
goes down in history. The first air airplane bombing in

54
00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:54.520
the United States history. Nineteen thirty three over in Scotland.

55
00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:56.520
You gray, he took the first photograph of the luck

56
00:03:56.639 --> 00:04:00.120
this monster. Now, photoshop won't be invented for another sixty

57
00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:02.879
so it that has to be true. Nineteen forty two,

58
00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:05.479
President Franklin Roosevelt. He changed the age for men to

59
00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:08.120
be drafted into the military. Now, he lowered it from

60
00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:10.280
twenty years old and then he raised it from you

61
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:12.039
could be drafted up until you were forty four from

62
00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:15.599
thirty five now nineteen forty six. In Chicago, a branch

63
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:18.160
of the Exchange National Bank opened up as the first

64
00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:20.519
bank deb drive up, tell her windows, you know, I

65
00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:22.959

00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:26.439
have braille on the keypad. Nineteen fifty four and Lis

67
00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:29.399
Island Immigration Station, Yeah, they closed it. It wasn't send

68
00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:32.439

69
00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:34.319
Island over the year since it opened up in eighteen

70
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:37.480
ninety two. The first immigrant to pass through, Yeah, it

71
00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:39.399
was a fifteen year old girl Nabe anymore. She was

72
00:04:39.399 --> 00:04:41.800
from Ireland. She was actually coming to the United States

73
00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:43.319
to see her parents, who moved to New York City

74
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:45.600
the year before that. She got like a big gold

75
00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:47.920

105
00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:27.360
real life princess. She married Prince van Near of Monaco,

106
00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:30.399

107
00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:32.959

00:06:53.879 --> 00:07:14.279

117
00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:16.199
He's eighty two. He's one of Queens New York. In

00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:19.240
nineteen forty three, Brian, he was sixteen years old. And

119
00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:21.720
that bikini song went to number one made him an

120
00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:24.920
instant ten idol. Now it's the bitsy teeny weeny yellow

121
00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:27.959
polka dot bikini. That's not even the longest song title

122
00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:32.040
that he sings. Dope Help, He's lopsided, overloaded, and it

123
00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:33.199
wiggled when we wrote it.

124
00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:34.879
Yeah.

125
00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:37.800
Also I had to head Genny come Home and uh,

126
00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:39.319
what's sealed with a kiss?

127
00:07:39.879 --> 00:07:40.120
Now.

128
00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:43.480
In the early sixties, when the British improvasion hit, Yeah,

129
00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:46.360
they switched Brian over. He did country after that. He

130
00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:48.160
still releases new songs now if you go to his

131
00:07:48.199 --> 00:07:50.680
website and all that new songs and lots of times

132
00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:52.319
he takes his old songs and kind of makes them

133
00:07:52.360 --> 00:07:55.759
like they're more hip to today's kind of crowd. Now

134
00:07:55.800 --> 00:07:58.399
he just kind of stopped touring now, not because of

135
00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:00.959
age and not because of health. In twenty twenty one

136
00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:03.879
he married his second wife. See when he plays live,

137
00:08:04.120 --> 00:08:06.560
his first wife sings backup and his son plays drums.

138
00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:08.360
Kind of made a awkward on the road.

139
00:08:08.959 --> 00:08:09.079
Now.

140
00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:11.480
In the early nineteen nineties, when the Soviet Union collapsed,

142
00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:17.399
