Hello everyone, I am Jeff and welcome to History and
2
00:00:13.400 --> 00:00:16.320
Factoids about Today, presented by Cool Media. Today is November
3
00:00:16.359 --> 00:00:20.120
the fifth. But you think it knocking home, We're not
4
00:00:20.440 --> 00:00:21.559
just loose all control.
5
00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:27.199
Just want to see one walking back to rest.
6
00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:40.000
Rest, I'll just croud to the rest. Today is National
7
00:00:40.119 --> 00:00:45.119
Redhead Day. Yes, guys, we are celebrating you also, even
8
00:00:45.159 --> 00:00:47.200
though you're not as pretty as the girls. Now only
9
00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:49.560
two percent of the population of the world have red air.
10
00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:53.000
Now the rarest genetic combination in the world red hair
11
00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:57.560
and blue eyes zero point fourteen percent. People have that redheads.
12
00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:00.520
They do not go gray, No, they're red. Pigment just fade,
13
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:03.759
so they either go blonde or white. Now, female actresses,
14
00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:05.640
they have a better chance to win an Academy Award
15
00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:07.400
if they have red hair. Dude, now you have a
16
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:11.359
less chance. Seven presidents have had red hair. George Washington,
17
00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:15.319
you were wig, Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Martin Van Buren,
18
00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:18.719

23
00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:25.719

00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:35.079
what's going on in entertainment on November fifth, let's back

00:01:35.079 --> 00:01:37.799

Stream se.
34
00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:38.000
The number one buck was The Hotel New Hampshire by
35
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:42.000
John Irving. Top movie was Time Bandits. A boy joined
36
00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:44.800
some time traveling dwarfs who jump around in time looking
37
00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:48.240
for treasure Starr Sean Connery, Shelley Duvall and John Cleese.
38
00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:51.000
Al Right, what happened on November the fifth? No over
39
00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:53.919
in England? Today they're celebrating gave Fox Day. Yeah, it's
40
00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:56.599
a really big party. In sixteen oh five, after years
41
00:02:56.639 --> 00:02:59.120
of persecution in England, a group of Catholics decided to
42
00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:01.800
kill King James. First, well, they also wanted to take
43
00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:04.400
out as many legislators and other royalty that they could do.
44
00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:04.960
So.
45
00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:07.759
The plan was it's opening up Parliament. They were gonna
46
00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:10.879
put thirty six barrels of gunpowder in the cellar and
47
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:12.479
then met the House of Lords and then when they
48
00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:15.080
all met there, yeah, they're just gonna blow it up. Well,
49
00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:17.199
one of the conspiracis they got cold feet at the
50
00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:20.159
very last minute and told so all the British authorities.
51
00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:22.400
They started searching the building. When they got to the cellar,
52
00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:24.800
they found Guy Fox just sitting on thirty six barrels
53
00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:27.439
of gunpowder. Now he was supposed to light the fuse
54
00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:29.800
and then run like hell. Well he did try and
55
00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:31.960
be sly and cover the barrels up with like firewood
56
00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:33.840
and stuff, but they didn't go for it. Now, they
57
00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:36.000
tortured Guy for two days before it finally gave up.
58
00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:38.759
All the conspirators they were all sentenced to death by
59
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:41.080
dragging by horse, and then their genitals would be cut
60
00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:43.280
off and burned in front of their face. Then their
61
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:47.360
hearts and their bows would be removed. Then they'd be decapitated, disremembered,
62
00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:49.560
and they'd be fed to the birds. Well guy he
63
00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:52.319
didn't like that no, so when he got a chance,
64
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:53.439
he was able to make a run for it. He
65
00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:55.919
jumped out the window. Well, he is up fifty feet,
66
00:03:55.919 --> 00:03:57.840
so he broke his neck. He actually got off kind
67
00:03:57.840 --> 00:03:59.879
of easy compared to the other guys. All right, Now
68
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:02.319
back to the night that it all went down, though, say,
69
00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:05.319
when pot was discovered, all the peasants out in the
70
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:08.800
surrounding outside of the castle, they all celebrated the King
71
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:12.280
James nearly escaped death. So yep, they partied, and they
72
00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:15.280
had built bonfires, and they ate and they drank and
73
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:18.079
they burned. Guy and all the other guys at effigy
74
00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:20.480
still do it four hundred years later. So now they
75
00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:23.160
burned bonfires and drink and party, but now they allowed
76
00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:27.480
off fireworks too. Seventeen eighty one, John Hanson from Maryland.
77
00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:30.040
He was elected the President of the United States Congress. No,
78
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:33.480
not the Continental Congress, the first United States Congress. So
79
00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:35.720
technically he was the first president of the United States.
80
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:38.759
But the loophole is that he wasn't elected by the citizens.
81
00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:43.920
Nineteen eleven, pilot Calbreth Rogers. He arrived in Pasadena, California.
82
00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:46.600
He had left Sheep said Bay, New York. He's the
83
00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:49.160
first pilot to fly all the way across the United States. Yep.
84
00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:53.720
Coast to coast took him forty nine days. Nineteen thirty five,
85
00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:56.519
the board game Monopoly went on sale. It's sold two
86
00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:58.839
hundred and seventy five million boards since then. Now the
87
00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:02.279
longest game of Monopoly played seventy straight days. Now I
88
00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:05.319
would have bumped that board after seven hours. It was today.
89
00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:07.600
In nineteen fifty five, the Doc Brown came up with
90
00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:10.240
the idea for the flux capacitor. As we all know,
91
00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:13.040
that's what makes time travel passable. So Marty mcfi he
92
00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:14.759
went back in nineteen eighty four and let Doc know
93
00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:15.360
that it worked.
94
00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:22.199
Gope, gop, gop, coop, dope coo, gop show dish shimmer day.
95
00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:25.639
Please gonna pause. He left this shimday. We want simple
96
00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:28.439
cause he left this SHIMMS day, and you know you
97
00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:31.920
don't get that work day. Let's check out. It was
98
00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:33.600
born on November the fifth.
99
00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:37.600
And by fact, I'm a mate.
100
00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:42.800
I started from this topic board on board this tiny ship.
101
00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:47.120
The main was a mighty sailor man Let's perfave and
102
00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:50.079
shore my messenger st sail.
103
00:05:49.959 --> 00:05:54.759
That day for a three hour two. Actress Natalie Schaeffer
104
00:05:54.920 --> 00:05:57.319
was born in Red Bank, New Jersey, in nineteen hundred.
105
00:05:57.720 --> 00:05:59.959
She's best known for playing Missus Hall on Gilligan's Eye.
106
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:00.600
Now.
107
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:02.600
She only agreed to go and film the pilot for
108
00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:04.720
gilling Island because she got a free trip to Hawaii.
109
00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:07.279
She never thought anybody could pick up that stupid show,
110
00:06:07.720 --> 00:06:09.319
but it did, so then she had to scramble and
111
00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:12.360
move from New York to California. Now she'd lied about
112
00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:15.040
her age, basically her entire a doulve life. Yeah, she
113
00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:17.240
said she was born in nineteen hundred, I said, But
114
00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:19.680
she told everybody she was born in nineteen twelve. So
115
00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:22.560
when she died in nineteen ninety one, everyone was surprised
116
00:06:22.600 --> 00:06:24.279
as hell that she was actually ninety one years old.
117
00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:26.759
She buried for nine years back in the thirties. I
118
00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:27.839
wonder if that guy knew about it.
119
00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:32.639
There's the Yellow Rolls in Texas. I'm going there to
120

121
00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:42.079

122
00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:46.439
row my far and if we ever meet again, we
123
00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:48.319

in Broadway, they always cast her her to star in it.

She was one of the greatest actresses of all time.

to take and went to long breaks over the years.

183
00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:48.879

00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:50.960
they're getting ready to release an album pretty quick here

00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:08.720
Come to Tall and Lie Something Flash Last Night and

00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:18.320
tells me something good.
190
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:22.759
The Herman and Herman and the Herbitts is Peter Noon.
191
00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:25.879
Peter seventy seven born in davy Holme, England in nineteen
192
00:10:25.919 --> 00:10:28.840
forty seven. Started singing for Herman Hermits when he was fifteen.
193
00:10:29.440 --> 00:10:32.200
Now everybody thought he looked like Sherman in the cartoon Bullwinkle,
194
00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:34.200
So yeah, they were teasing about it, and that was
195
00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:36.000
his nickname, but people would get drunk and they couldn't
196
00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:37.879
say Sherman, so we ended up becoming Herman. So then
197
00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:40.480
they called this backup band, the Hermits. Some of their
198
00:10:40.559 --> 00:10:43.000
heads are you can hear my heart beating, missus Brown,
199
00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:45.879
You've got a very lovely diar. I'm Henry the eighth.
200
00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:48.759
I am. I mean it's something good. Somehow over the
201
00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:52.360
said lost their name. Yes, somebody else somehow owns it,
202
00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:54.559
so now they have to go by Hermit's Hermann start
203
00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:58.000
Peter Noon. That's the loophole. Now they're out on tour.
204
00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:01.519
They'll be out on tour until sometimes next October. They're
205
00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:03.600
booked for like the next year. But on the side
206
00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:05.919

Now.
212
00:11:37.519 --> 00:11:40.039
He really stood out in nineteen eighties with his wild hair.
213
00:11:40.440 --> 00:11:42.440
If you don't remember him, he had blonde hair and
214
00:11:42.519 --> 00:11:44.240
it was like flat in the middle and then really
215
00:11:44.279 --> 00:11:46.440

his first wife, married his fourth wife in twenty twelve.
223
00:12:06.039 --> 00:12:07.679
So you're wondering, how did they get the name Flock
224
00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:09.720
of Seagulls kind of boring. They took it from a
