00:00:19.160 --> 00:00:22.160
Hi everyone, I am Jeff. Welcome to history and Factoid's
2
00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:24.000
about today. Today's November the fifth.
3
00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:26.480
Did you think it knocking home?
4
00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:29.440
Not just loose all control because you want to see
5
00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:34.399
one walking back to rest.
6
00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:43.840
I'll just travel the rest.
7
00:00:46.119 --> 00:00:50.920
Today is National Love your Red Hair Day. Yes, guys,
8
00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:52.840
we're gonna celebrate you too, even though you're not as
9
00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:55.439
pretty as the ladies. Not only two percent of people
10
00:00:55.439 --> 00:00:58.159
in the world have red hair. Now the rarest combination
11
00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:01.439
in the world red hair and blue eye. Point fourteen
12
00:01:01.479 --> 00:01:04.680
percent of people have that. Now, redheads they don't go gray, Nope,
13
00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:07.040
they're red pigment vades and they either just go white
14
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:10.560
or blonde. Now, female actresses, they have better odds of
15
00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:14.200
winning a Court Academy Award. Yes they have red hair, guys, No,
16
00:01:14.359 --> 00:01:16.920
you have less of a chance. Seven Yes, presidents of
17
00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:21.959
that red hair George Washington, Yeah, Warwig, Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson,
18
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:25.400
Martin Van Buren, Calvin Coolidge, John Kennedy. And they think
19
00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:27.680
maybe Donald Trump, but he really knows what color his
20
00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:31.239
hair is. Alrighty, my favorite redhead's out there. I want
21
00:01:31.319 --> 00:01:33.879
my nephew Landon. He's going to the University of Colorado
22
00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:35.840
and Boulder. So if you hit rant landing up, you
23
00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:37.959
wouldn't mind you buying him a bear at all. Also
24
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:41.200
a nice lady. Her name is Emir Theoris. She is
25
00:01:41.319 --> 00:01:43.640
really a great advocate for foster kids. And she's got
26
00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:46.799

27
00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:50.439

00:01:52.599 --> 00:01:53.319
pretty great woman.
30
00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:54.319
All right.
31
00:01:54.359 --> 00:01:56.519
So are we going to celebrate today? Well, if you've
32
00:01:56.519 --> 00:01:58.599
been trying to get the courage up, yeah, go ask
33
00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:00.840
a redhead out for a date today. Today's a pretty
34
00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:04.439
good excuse to say that if you have a redheady special, Yeah,
35
00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:05.959
I take her out. You know what, you can always
36
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:07.959
take her red head and uh just do some Chinese
37
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:10.360
takeout because it's national Chinese Takeout day to day too.
38
00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:13.520
All right, list, he's going on entertainment No. November fifth.
39
00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:16.240
Let's go back to nineteen seventy three. Number one album was
40
00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:19.319
Goat said Suit by Rolling Stones, Gladys nine the Pipsad
41
00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:22.280
the number one song with Midnight Train to Georgia said.
42
00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:23.520
He's going back.
43
00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:27.680
To seventy.
44
00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:35.759
I know you will.
45
00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:42.199
Change the Georgia.
46
00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:46.439
Fifteen year old Marie Osman had the number one country
47
00:02:46.439 --> 00:03:13.080
song with Paper Roses. The number one book was The
48
00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:16.280
Hallow Hills by Mary Stewart. Top movie was Billy Jack,
49
00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:19.319
an ex Green Beret. He saves horses from being turned
50
00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:22.280
into Dogford and he protects a school for Ronnoans stars
51
00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:25.879
Tom Laughlin, Delorus Taylor and Clark Howard. All right, what
52
00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:29.039
happened on No. Vim of the fifth. Now we're celebrating
53
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:31.879
Redheads to day. Over in England, they're celebrating Guy Fox Day.
54
00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:34.479
He has a really big party over there. In sixteen
55
00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:38.240
oh five, after a bunch of years of persecution and England,
56
00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:40.400
a group of Catholics decided they were going to kill
57
00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:42.439
James the first. They wanted to take out as many
58
00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:44.639
of his legislators as they could and all the royalty
59
00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:47.800
that they could. So the plan was the opening of
60
00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:49.960
the Parliament. What they did is they put thirty six
61
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:52.560
barrels of gunpowder down in the basement it was at
62
00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:54.800
the House of Lords. Then when everyone arrived they were
63
00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:56.599
going to blow those up and killing as many as
64
00:03:56.639 --> 00:03:59.919
they could as possible. Well, one of the conspiracers got Cooldfee.
65
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:03.879
The last minute told, So authorities started searching the building
66
00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:06.080
and they got to the basement. Yeah, they found guy
67
00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:09.159
Fox sitting on thirty six barrels of gunpowder. Now he
68
00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:11.319
was supposed to light it and then just run like hell,
69
00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:14.400
but he tried to be sly. He put like firewood
70
00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:17.120
and stuff on top of the barrels. But they found
71
00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:20.040
it pretty easily. Now, guy he was tortured for two
72
00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:22.720
days before he actually gave up. The other conspirators, they
73
00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:25.959
were all sentenced to death by their sentence was that
74
00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:27.920
they were going to be killed by dragging by horses.
75
00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:30.600
They would have their genitals cut off and burned in
76
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:32.720
front of their face. Then they would have their hearts
77
00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:36.800
and bowels removed, and then they would be decapitated, the disembowed,
78
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:39.199
and then fed to the birds. Well, see, guy Fox,
79
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:41.120
he didn't really like that, so he had to make
80
00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:43.079
a run for it. He jumped out of window. Well
81
00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:44.920
he's fifty feet in the air, so he broke his neck.
82
00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:47.240
I think I'd take that over what those other guys
83
00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:49.199
had to go through. So now let's go back to
84
00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:51.240
the night that it all went down. See, when the
85
00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:53.720
plot was discovered, then they got word out to all
86
00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:56.319
the peasants outside the castle that what had happened, So
87
00:04:56.360 --> 00:05:00.000
they all started party in and celebrating and burning bonfire
88
00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:02.079
and stuff. Yeah, they were so happy that King James
89
00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:04.160
was just avoided death and all that kind of stuff.
90
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:06.600
So they still allowed to do it. Fourhundred years later
91
00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:10.319
they drank have bonfires. They burned Guy Fox at Effigy,
92
00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:14.120
so now they use fireworks too though. Seventeen seventy four
93
00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:17.399
are the Continental Congress. They elected Peyton Randolph from Virginia
94
00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:20.319
the first President of the Continental Congress, so he was
95
00:05:20.319 --> 00:05:22.439
the first person in America ever to be called the president.
96
00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:26.079
Then in seventeen eighty one, John Hanson from Maryland, he
97
00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:28.519
was elected the first president of the United States Congress,
98
00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:32.279
not Continental Congress, the United States Congress. So technically, yeah,
99
00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:34.839
he's pretty much the first president of the United States,
100
00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:37.879
but he wasn't elected. See George Washington was the first
101
00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:41.319
president elected in the United States, now forty years before
102
00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:44.759
women were allowed to vote. Eighteen seventy two in Rochester,
103
00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:47.600
New York, Susan B. Anthony she went ahead and voted anyway. Yeah,
104
00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:50.800
she voted for the president. In the president's election, she
105
00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:53.800
voted for the income but ulysses es Grant. Two weeks later,
106
00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:56.920
she was arrested, Yeah, for illegal voting. She was found guilty.
107
00:05:56.959 --> 00:05:59.240
In order to pay one hundred dollars fine, she said,
108
00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:01.560
I ain't paying it. The other forties just kind of
109
00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:02.839
looked at each other said man, we don't want to
110
00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:03.959
deal with this, and they just kind of looked the
111
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:07.079
other way. So no, she never did pay her fine. Now,
112
00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:09.240
after four hundred years of people trying to do it,
113
00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:12.560
nineteen oh five, ralth Uminson him and his ship and
114
00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:16.040
his crew. They were the first actually sale full completely
115
00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:20.879
through the Northwest Passage up in Upper Canada. Nineteen eleven,
116
00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:24.560
Pilot Cowbirth Rogers. He arrived in Pasadena, California. After leaving,
117
00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:27.439
she said, Bay New York. He completed the first coast
118
00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:30.000
to coast flight across the United States. Took him forty
119
00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:34.000
nine days. Yeah, he had left. September seventeenth, nineteen thirty five,
120
00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:36.519
the board game Monopoly went on sale, sold over two
121
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:39.160
in a seventy five million boards since then. Now get this,
122
00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:42.839
each year Monopoly they print thirty billion dollars in monopoly money.
123
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:45.560
The United States government they only printed nine hundred and
124
00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:49.319
seventy four million dollars in regular money that really counts today.
125
00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:52.240
In nineteen fifty five, Doc Brown, he came up with
126
00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:54.800
the idea for the flex capacitor, and we all know
127
00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:57.920
that's what makes time travel possible. So in nineteen eighty four,
128
00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:00.439
this kid, Marty fig Fly, he went back to nineteen
129
00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:02.519
fifty five and he was able to let Doc know
130
00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:03.079
that it worked.
131
00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:11.040
Jokejoke, joked, cop joked, coke joke, show dish Shibbert Day's
132
00:07:11.079 --> 00:07:11.639
gonna pause.
133
00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:14.759
He left this shiver day. We won't simple targe let
134
00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:19.519
this shibt day and you you don't do all right.
135
00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:21.639
Let's check out who was born out in November. The
136
00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:25.279
fifth actress, Natalie Schaeffer. She was born in Red Bake,
137
00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:27.879
New Jersey, in nineteen hundred. She's most known for playing
138
00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:30.839
Missus Howell on Gillinga's Island Now. She only agreed to
139
00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:33.759
do the pilot because she got a free trip to
140
00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:36.480
uh A WII. She never in her words, she never
141
00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:38.279
thought that stupid show would ever be picked up. Well,
142
00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:39.759
it what was, so she had to scramble and move
143
00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:43.720
from New York to California. Now her entire adult life, Natalie,
144
00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:45.680
she lied about her age. She said She was born
145
00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:48.959
in nineteen twelve, so when she died in nineteen ninety one,
146
00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:51.920
everybody was just surprised, like you would not believe to
147
00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:53.720
find out that she was actually ninety one years old.
148
00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:56.279
In the nineteen thirty she didn't marry for nine years.
149
00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:57.160
I wonder if that guy.
150
00:07:57.120 --> 00:08:02.759
Knew Mersey Yellow Rolls, Texas. I'm going there to see

152
00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:11.639
So when I left her, I'd.

Come and something Fleasher last night.
218
00:11:44.759 --> 00:11:47.480
Tells me irmand to something good.
219
00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:52.919
The Hermann and Herman Hermit, says Peter Noon. Peter is
220
00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:56.639
born in doug Hulm, England in nineteen forty seven seventy eight.
221
00:11:56.679 --> 00:11:59.240
Today started singing for Herman Hermits when he was fifteen
222
00:11:59.320 --> 00:12:01.919
years old. Now everybody thought he looked like Sherman in
223
00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:05.200
the cartoon Bullwinkle, but they were British and they got
224
00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:07.840
drunk and they couldn't say Sherman. So he became Irman.
225
00:12:08.960 --> 00:12:11.720
Some of their hits are you can hear my heartbeat,
226
00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:14.840
Missus Brown, You've got a very lovely daughter. I'm Henry
227
00:12:14.840 --> 00:12:18.440
the Eighth, I am I'm into something good now. Somehow
228
00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:20.639
over the years they lost the right to their own name.
229
00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:23.279
That's right. They don't own Herman's Hermans anymore. So what
230
00:12:23.320 --> 00:12:24.840
they had to do now, because they still tour quite
231
00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:27.519
a bit, is now they're Herman Hermit starring Peter Noon,
232
00:12:27.720 --> 00:12:31.000
So that's a little loophole. Now they've got concerts actually
233
00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:32.679
scheduled until May if you want to check him out.
234
00:12:32.799 --> 00:12:33.200
But Peter.

236
00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:38.240

237
00:12:38.279 --> 00:13:02.639
eight and they have one daughter, Mike Score. He is
238
00:13:02.679 --> 00:13:05.639
the lead singer and keyboard player for the new band
239
00:13:06.519 --> 00:13:07.360
Flock of Seagulls.
240
00:13:08.200 --> 00:13:08.360
Now.
241
00:13:08.360 --> 00:13:10.600
In the eighties, Mike he had that really wild hairstyle,
242
00:13:10.679 --> 00:13:12.080
was kind of flat in the middle and then it
243
00:13:12.159 --> 00:13:14.399
had like big wings on the side, and I'm like, well,
