00:00:19.239 --> 00:00:22.600
Hi everyone, I'm Jeff. Welcome to history and factoids about today.
2
00:00:22.879 --> 00:00:25.280
Today is November the fifteenth.
3
00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:30.079
Cleaning house the fridge, Just cleaning house, the fridge.
4
00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:32.920
Oh this kind of house works.
5
00:00:32.920 --> 00:00:33.200
Well.
6
00:00:33.240 --> 00:00:34.719
He's the best there is.
7
00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:39.119
He called his buddies into health and all they did
8
00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:41.679
was help themselves say that home.
9
00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:43.719
Just cleaning house fridge.
10
00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:49.640
Today is National Clean your Refrigerator Day. No one likes
11
00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:52.679
that job. Technically you should be cleaning your refrigerator every
12
00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:55.920
three to four months. Wow, since hardly anybody ever does it,
13
00:00:55.960 --> 00:00:59.280
they recommend one day of really thorough cleaning at least
14
00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:03.039
once a year. That means unplugging it, cleaning underneath it,
15
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:05.480
behind it, and then you can go to town on the inside.
16
00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:07.439
I mean, sure it looks better, but it also runs
17
00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:09.959
more efficiently and it keeps the germs and smells from
18
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:10.959
actually getting into food.
19
00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:12.519
That's the holidays.
20
00:01:12.599 --> 00:01:14.120
That's a pretty good time of year to do that.
21
00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:16.680
So suck it up and clean out that fridge today.
22
00:01:17.599 --> 00:01:20.000
This is going on entertainment on November the fifteenth. It's
23
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:22.760
back to nineteen sixty four. Number one album was People
24
00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:25.640
by Barbara Streissan. The Supremes had the number one song
25
00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:30.040
with Baby love baby, my baby, and.
26
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:38.159

28
00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:49.000
Stay fuck go on sad.
29
00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:52.599
The number country song with I don't care well.
30
00:01:52.879 --> 00:01:55.560
I don't care if the sun don't shine.
31
00:01:55.840 --> 00:01:59.959
I don't care if the bells don't chime, just this long,
32
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:05.480
Oh as you love me. I don't care if.
33
00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:09.159
The topstone span, I don't care if the gym's old gin,
34
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:12.840
Just as long as you love me.
35
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:17.000
The number one book was her Zog by Saal Bellows.
36
00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:20.719
Todd movie was roused about Elvis. He finds a job
37
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:23.400
in a struggling carnival, so he starts to date the
38
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:26.159
teenage girl and her dad really gets pissed off at Elvis.
39
00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:29.240
All right, what happened on over Himber the fifteenth, seventeen
40
00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:33.759
sixty three, Pennsylvania and Maryland. They were not getting along. No,
41
00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:35.479
I mean they weren't getting along at all. They could
42
00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:37.680
not agree on the border between the two states. It
43
00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:39.680
wasn't even coming to blows where they were shooting at
44
00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:42.719
each other and everything. So the Thorty stepped in and
45
00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:45.400
they got Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon. They said, why
46
00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:46.879
don't you got to survey this and tell us where
47
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:49.400
that line is. So they ended up creating the Mason
48
00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:51.840
Dixon Line. It took him four years though. Then after
49
00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:55.520
they did that, symbolically the Mason Dixon Line, it basically
50
00:02:55.639 --> 00:02:57.599
was a border for free states up the north and
51
00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:01.879
the slavery states down south. Seventeen seventy seven, the Continental
52
00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:05.400
Congress passed the Articles of Confederation. That was the first
53
00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:09.319
United States Constitution. Yeah, got sent out to the states today.
54
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:12.960
It came back ratified nineteen or seventeen eighty one. Now
55
00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:15.639
the consternation we used today. It replaced it in seventeen
56
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:19.240
eighty nine. Seventeen ninety one, the first Catholic college in
57
00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:22.919
the United States opened up, Georgetown Washington, DC. Now was
58
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:25.639
not named after George Washington. It was named after the
59
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:27.759
two guys who donated the land. Both the names were
60
00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:32.599
George eighteen oh six Zebulon Pike. He first saw Pike's Peak, Yeah,
61
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:34.800
from a distance, and then they took it a whole
62
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:37.120
week in order to get to the base of the mountain. Now,
63
00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:38.800
him and his men they did try and climb it.
64
00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:41.000
They didn't get very far though. They were all kind
65
00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:42.960
of disheartened for it, so he declared that no man
66
00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:45.960
would ever climb this mountain. Well, now you can drive up,
67
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:48.360
take a train up, take a tram up. But you
68
00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:49.919
know what, you can even do the Pike's Peak Marathon.
69
00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:51.159
They do that to see who can run up at
70
00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:54.159
the festest. Now, if you don't know Colorado, it's just
71
00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:58.800
west of Colorado Springs. Nineteen sixty nine, Dave Thomas he
72
00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:01.120
opened up the first Windy's restauran. He was in Columbus, Ohio.
73
00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:04.159
Now he named it after his fourth daughter, Wendy. Yeah,
74
00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:06.719
it's her likeness of that freckle face little girl that's
75
00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:09.159
on the logo. Now, why didn't he name it after
76
00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:11.960
his first three daughters? Well, here were his options. Could
77
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:15.280
have been Pam's, Lois's, or Molly's. So yeah, I think
78
00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:17.439
you'd rather eat at Wendy's, right, But he didn't forget
79
00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:19.319
about the other three girls. In nineteen seventy eight he
80
00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:22.040
opened up the Sister's Chicken and Biscuit Restaurants. Yeah, that
81
00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:24.680
was there, Dave. He always regretted in calling it Wendy's.
82
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:26.040
He said that was too much pressure to put on
83
00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:29.040
that girl. He should have just called it Dave's nineteen
84
00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:32.000
eighty seven is the continental airplane crashed here in Denver,
85
00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:34.240
killed twenty eight of the eighty two people on board.
86
00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:36.680
You know, I was actually in a local hospital at
87
00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:39.079
that time. Yeah, I had double pneumonia. So they brought
88
00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:41.079
some of those injured into the ICA. Whereas that well,
89
00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:43.800
I was being quarantine. But I don't remember much, but yeah,
90
00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:47.560
it was pretty drug done. But obviously I survised. Now
91
00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:49.680
I wonder how they pulled this stunt off. In nineteen
92
00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:52.800
ninety three, certain Cuban refugees landed in an airplane in Florida.
93
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:55.439
That was after they stow the crop destining plane in Cuba.
94
00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:59.120
Two thousand and one, the first Xbox game console went
95
00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:02.279
on sale here in the Night States. Twenty seventeen had
96
00:05:02.279 --> 00:05:05.959
an auction Leonardo da Vinci his painting the Salvatur Monday
97
00:05:06.279 --> 00:05:08.920
so for four hundred and fifty point three million dollars.
98
00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:12.000
Now what it is is christ As the Savior of
99
00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:14.439
the World. Now was bought by a group from the
100
00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:19.480
Saudi Arabia Ministry of Culture. Seems either odd now it's
101
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:21.839
still the most expensive piece of art ever solved that
102
00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:24.800
four and fifty million bucks. Now, that painting though it
103
00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:27.199
had gone on sale at auction before. Back in nineteen
104
00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:30.040
fifty eight, it sold for one hundred and twenty five dollars.
105
00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:37.079
Joke doke co joked, joke, show this shiverf day.
106
00:05:37.399 --> 00:05:38.160
We're gonna pause.
107
00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:39.680
He left this shiverfday.
108
00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:40.879
We got simple tage.
109
00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:42.360
He left this shibirth day.
110
00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:45.040
And you don't do God's birthday?
111
00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:50.000
Okay. It was born out November the fourteenth. Astronomer William Herschel,
112
00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:53.079
He's burned in Germany in seventeen thirty eight, pretty much
113
00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:55.800
lived his whole life in England. Seventeen seventy four he
114
00:05:55.800 --> 00:05:58.800
created the first really big telescope. Now he used in
115
00:05:58.839 --> 00:06:01.879
seventeen eighty one he was able to find the planet
116
00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:04.959
pass Saturn. See with your naked eye, you can't see
117
00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:07.319
pass Saturn. So he tried to name that new planet
118
00:06:07.399 --> 00:06:10.279
he discovered after England's King George the Third. The old
119
00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:12.680
rest of the world said, oh hell no, everyone just
120
00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:13.600
called the planet Herschel.
121
00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:14.279
Now.
122
00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:16.680
I don't know if Herschel was an astronaut, but they
123
00:06:16.759 --> 00:06:19.759
ended up naming that planet Uranus. Herschel. He was married
124
00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:23.000
and they had one child. Herschel. He had got along
125
00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:25.160
illness ended up, dying from it in eighteen twenty two
126
00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:29.120
at eighty three years old. Now before before Judge Judy
127
00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:31.120
and the rest of all those courtroom shows, there is
128
00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:35.319
the People's Court that's presided over by Judge Wapner. Joseph Wapner.
129
00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:38.360
He was born in Los Angeles in nineteen nineteen. Now
130
00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:40.319
he was a judge in Los Angeles for twenty years,
131
00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:42.959
and he retired in nineteen seventy nine. Nineteen eighty one,
132
00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:44.920
they hit him up basketball and being a new real
133
00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:47.000
life TV show that would take place in the courthouse.
134
00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:50.399
He would be the judge of the People's Court. Now Wapner.
135
00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:52.160
He did People's Court for twelve years when he retired
136
00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:55.360
in nineteen ninety three. He's married nineteen forty six and
137
00:06:55.399 --> 00:06:57.600
they had one daughter and two sons. He died in
138
00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:00.439
twenty seventeen at ninety seven years old from respiratory failure.
139
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:04.560
Actor Ed Asner he was born in Kansas City, Missouri,
140
00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:06.720
in nineteen twenty nine. He first got known on The
141
00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:09.600
Mary Tyler Moore Show, which was a comedy. They spun
142
00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:11.800
his character off into The Lou Grant Show, which was
143
00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:14.759
a drama. Over the years, Ed he won seven five
144
00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:17.480
time Emmys. That's the most by any male actor. Ed
145
00:07:17.519 --> 00:07:19.759
he played Santa Claus in eight different Santa Claus movies.
146
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:23.319
Now he's been in eighty movies TOTALO. He worked until
147
00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:25.199
he died in twenty twenty one. He was ninety one
148
00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:27.439
years old and he died from natural causes. He had
149
00:07:27.439 --> 00:07:30.399
three children from his first wife and they divorced after
150
00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:32.480
twenty nine years, so Ed must have been happy. He
151
00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:34.040
went out and had a fling and had another daughter.
152
00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:36.279
Then he got married to a second wife for twenty
153
00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:37.360
five years when they divorced.
154
00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:44.759
You know the long rank tidor pail lady ring, long
155
00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:45.720
lost fail.
156
00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:50.560
I went to the window to the line and ask
157
00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:52.199
him to tell me what was on.
158
00:07:56.720 --> 00:08:03.199
Yes, that was Clyde McPhatter singing for the Drifters. Clydie
159
00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:05.600
was born in Durham, North Carolina, in nineteen thirty two.
160
00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:07.759
When he was seventeen year old. He hit when he
161
00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:09.759
was a member of Billy Ward and the Domino's Band.
162
00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:12.279
While that inspired Clyde to start his own band, So
163
00:08:12.360 --> 00:08:15.560
he started the Drifters in nineteen fifty three. Now they
164
00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:19.000
had their heads money. Honey, such a night, honey, Love
165
00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:21.959
what you're gonna do? Then now he left the Drifters
166
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:24.160
in nineteen fifty five. Yeah, I mean he was proud
167
00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:25.920
of the group he started, but he wanted to be solo.
168
00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:28.639
Now he did okay solo, but he didn't do as
169
00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:31.120
good as a drifter he did once he left. Clyde
170
00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:34.159
