10
00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:53.520

This is going go on entertainment. No. November twenty third.

21
00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:21.319
It was back to nineteen fifty five number one album

00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:23.840
was Love Me or League Mean by Doris Day. Roger

23
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:45.120

26
00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:54.359
the number one song with love, Love Love, I'm beginning

27
00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:58.359
a good thing. You don't love me at all?

00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:04.920
How about the.

29
00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:14.560
I Just rub love me Love. The number one buckle

30
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:17.800
was Marjorie morning Star by Herman walk Todd. Movie was

31
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:20.719
Guys and Dolls Now Gambler, He is bad to take

32
00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:23.840
this fridge and little missionary girl down to Cuba. Yeah,

33
00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:26.319
the bet was the finance of Craps game. Well, those

34
00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:29.639
two fall in love stars Marlon Brando, Frank Sinatra and

35
00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:33.280
Gene Simmons. The actor's not the guy from Kiss. All right,

36
00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:36.759
Let's see what happened On November the twenty third, seventeen

37
00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:40.520
eighty three in Napolis, Maryland, it became the United States Capitol. Yeah,

38
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:42.639
but only until the next June. Yeah, then it moved

39
00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:46.159
to Trenton, New Jersey. Eighteen eighty nine. In San Francisco

40
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:50.000
at the Palais Royal Saloon, they veld the jukebox. You

41
00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:52.159
had had four listening tubes where you could listen to

42
00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:54.199
a wax records that had to be changed by hand,

43
00:02:55.080 --> 00:02:57.719
came huge instantly. Yeah, and then it just spread all

44
00:02:57.719 --> 00:03:01.039
over the world really quickly. Now, the ju it was

45
00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:06.280
originally called the automatic coin operated phonograph, but they were

46
00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:11.520
only really in jukeboxes, and jukeboxes were places that were rowdy, seedy, disorderly, rough,

47
00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:14.000
you know, kind of holes in them all. So jukebox

48
00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:17.919
seemed a lot more fitting name. Now, Billboard, when they

49
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:20.080
started out, they actually tracked the songs that were played

50
00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:22.759
on jukeboxes. That's how they first got their first number

51
00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:25.879
one hit songs and stuff. So the number one jukebox

52
00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:29.240
song that's been played the most hound Dog by Elvis Presley.

53
00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:32.280
Now this isn't as fun as jukeboxes. But in eighteen

54
00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:35.319
ninety seven, John Lee Love He invented the Portaba pencil sharpener.

55
00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:39.520
Nineteen twenty one, President Warren Harding he signed the Willis

56
00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:42.680
Campbell Act. Now it made it illegal for doctors to

57
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:46.199
prescribe bear for medicial person assistance. People have found a

58
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:50.240
little loophole in that prohibition. Nineteen forty two, Chinese sailor

59
00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:53.439
Pumlin he was working on the British ship that Ben Lamont.

60
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:56.280
Now he cleaned and cooked and stuff fifty four sailor

61
00:03:56.360 --> 00:03:58.039

62
00:03:58.039 --> 00:04:00.599
torpedo fired from a German U boat. In this out Atlantic,

63
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:03.879
fifty three died Poom. He was the only survivor. Now

64
00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:05.680
he was able to get into an eight foot raft

65
00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:07.840
and there was a little food in it. Mostly he

66
00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:11.039
survived catching fish and sharks. Now, after one hundred and

67
00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:13.120
thirty three days, he floated close enough to Brazil where

68
00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:15.960
he was actually rescued by fisherman's. Yeah, that kind of

69
00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:19.240
suck if they offered him something to eat. Nineteen forty five,

70
00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:21.839

Dow Jones after the Dow Jones average measures the stock market.

75
00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:36.480
It finished above where it was before the stock market

76
00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:40.480
crash in nineteen twenty nine. Nineteen eighty two, the SEC

77
00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:43.560
dropped the limit of how often how long TV commercials

78
00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:47.680
could be played. Sure that's a good thing. Two thousand

79
00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:50.959
and four, World of Warcraft, the online multiplayer video game

80
00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:53.839

89
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:24.959
