28
00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:41.039
the seventeenth? In eighteen hundred, the United States Congress met

29
00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:43.319
for the very first time at the new US Capitol

30
00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:46.240
Building in Washington, d C. Before then, they'd been meeting

31
00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:49.639
in Philadelphia. Now the Capitol it wasn't actually completed yet,

32
00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:51.759
but it already moved all their stuff, so they kind

33
00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:55.159
of had no choice. Eighteen sixty nine, the sus Canal

34
00:02:55.199 --> 00:02:58.159
opened up in Egypt. Now it connects the Mediterranean Sea

35
00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:00.639
and the Red Sea, so ships they can actually avoid

36
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:02.360
going all the way around Africa says them, fifty five

37
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:04.840
hundred miles by using it. Today it stays around ten

38
00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:07.319
days back in there, Yeah, a lot longer now. I

39
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:09.520

40
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:12.639
years to build it. In Hungary in eighteen seventy three.

41
00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:14.560
The city is a Buddha and the city at Pest.

42
00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:16.439
They were fighting over who was going to be the

43
00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:19.919
new capital of Hungary, and they were just whatever ever

44
00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:22.120

00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:24.039

00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:30.639
City policemen, they were working crowd control with a boxing

48
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:33.639
match at Madison Square Garden. In the second round, the

49
00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:37.039
cops went into the ring and arrested boxer John Sullivan. Yeah,

50
00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:39.120
the cops said he is being too cruel to his opponent.

51
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:41.240
Can you imagine that happened at a pay per view

52
00:03:41.240 --> 00:03:44.439
of it? In nineteen forty, the NFL's Green Bay Packers,

53
00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:47.840

team had flown to an Awa game. Now, they took

56
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:55.599
two planes in case one of them crashed. Now, the

57
00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:58.879
first sports team to actually fly was the baseball team

58
00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:02.319

He was born on Whenica, Illinois, in nineteen twenty five.

68
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:38.759
Rock was a huge heart throb and one of the

69
00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:41.199
top actors in the world in nineteen fifties and sixties.

70
00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:43.360
He was nominated for an oscar for the movie Giants.

or basically the first somebody that anybody knew who had AIDS. Yeah,

75
00:04:56.360 --> 00:04:57.759
and then when it got out the Rock cuts and

76
00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:00.439
died from AIDS, the public was absolutely shock. They could

77
00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:03.040
not believe that Rock Hudson was gay. Pretty Much every

78
00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:06.360
in Hollywood knew about it though. Now the dog Toto.

79
00:05:06.519 --> 00:05:09.000
He was born today in nineteen thirty three in Chicago. Well,

you do. Some dyaks.

90
00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:50.439
Around My best it is Gordon Lightfoot. He wrote that

91
00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:53.560
song Sundown in nineteen seventy four. He wrote it about

92
00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:57.360
his mistress, Kathy Smith in nineteen eighty two. That Kathy Smith,

93
00:05:57.560 --> 00:05:59.600
she's the one who injected the drugs into John Belushi

94
00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:01.279
that killed them. I did a little predis in time

95
00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:04.160
before Gordon. He was born in Arilla, Ontario, Canada, in

96
00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:07.839
nineteen thirty eight. Me and Bobby McGee Rainy Day People.

97
00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:10.360
The director of the Edmunds Fitzgerald. If you could read

98
00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:12.480
my mind has some of his hits. He had two

99
00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:14.319
children from his first wife, and then he had two

100
00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:16.959
children from different girlfriends. Then he had two children from

101
00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:19.560
his second wife. Married his third wife in twenty fourteen.

102
00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:22.600
Gordon died from natural causes in two and twenty twenty three,

103
00:06:22.680 --> 00:06:26.839
eighty four years old. Movie maker Martin Scorsese's eighty three.

104
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:29.040
He was born in Queen's New York in nineteen forty two.

105
00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:31.519
First movie he directed it was in nineteen sixty seven,

106
00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:34.319
Who's Knocking at My Door? Now he's been nominated for

107
00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:38.560
sixteen Oscars. Let's just go with his Best Director Oscars. Okay.

108
00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:41.199
They were for A Raging Bull, The Last Temptation of Christ,

109
00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:44.480
good Fellows, The Agent, Innocence, Gangs in New York, The Aviator,

110
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:48.079
Hugo Wolfe of Wall Street, The Irishman, Killers of the Are,

111
00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:50.240
Killers of the Flower Moon. But I did give him

112
00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:52.720
one for the Departed Martin. He had a daughter from

113
00:06:52.759 --> 00:06:54.959
his first wife, a daughter from his second wife. His

114
00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:57.519
third wife was actress Isabella ros Leini for three years,

115
00:06:57.800 --> 00:06:59.920
and he married his fifth wife in nineteen ninety nine.

116
00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:03.639
They have a daughter, actor Danny DeVito. He's eighty one.

117
00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:06.279
He's born in Neptune, New Jersey, in nineteen forty four.

118
00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:09.120
Now he first really got known on TV and taxi.

119
00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:12.000
Been in ninety four movies, though he's done a gajillion

120
00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:15.600
Jersey Mike TV commercials. His first big movie was One

121
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:17.920
Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. I think Danny's best acting

122
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:20.240
job was in the movie The rain Maker. Now he's

123
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:23.519
currently filming in a Jumanji movie. They're still at it. Now,

124
00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:25.759
back on to TV. He's been on That It's Always

125
00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:28.519
Sunny in Philadelphia since twenty two, thousand and six. I

126
00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:31.199
don't think they did a lot of episodes every year though, Danny.

127
00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:33.680
He met Real Pearlman in nineteen seventy one. They married

128
00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:36.639
in nineteen eighty two. They had three kids. Separated in

129
00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:40.439
twenty seventeen. They have absolutely no plans on ever divorcing.

130
00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:42.920
Neither one of them says they have ever been happier

131
00:07:42.920 --> 00:07:46.560
since they've separated. Now, Danny, he's four feet ten inches tall.

132
00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:49.040
He has Fairbanks disease? Is it really rare conditions that

133
00:07:49.079 --> 00:07:52.839
doesn't allow your bones to grow? Actor Stephen Root. He

134
00:07:52.920 --> 00:07:55.639
was born at Sarasota, Florida, in nineteen fifty one. He's

135
00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:58.720
seventy four, been in over ninety movies. Biggest one was

136
00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:00.959
probably when he played Milton and All of Space. Nope,

137
00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:03.800
I guess did fall. Probably a lot bigger. On TV,

138
00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:06.639
he was on news radio and on King of the Hill. Yeah,

139
00:08:06.680 --> 00:08:09.519
he voiced on that from ninety seven until twenty ten

140
00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:12.040
when it ended. But they brought King of the Hill back. Yeah,

141
00:08:12.079 --> 00:08:14.279
it's back on TV again. They brought it back in August.

142
00:08:14.600 --> 00:08:17.560
So Roote, he's back to he voices Bill. He's the

143
00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:21.279
