Well, if you've been trying to get the courage up, yeah, go ask a redhead out for a date today. Today's a pretty good excuse to say that if you have a redheady special, Yeah, I take her out. You know what, you can always take her red head and uh just do some Chinese takeout because it's national Chinese Takeout day to day too. All right, list, he's going on entertainment No. November fifth. Let's go back to nineteen seventy three. Number one album was Goat said Suit by Rolling Stones, Gladys nine the Pipsad the number one song with Midnight Train to Georgia said. He's going back. To seventy.

2:34 I know you will. Change the Georgia. Fifteen year old Marie Osman had the number one country song with Paper Roses. The number one book was The Hallow Hills by Mary Stewart. Top movie was Billy Jack, an ex Green Beret. He saves horses from being turned into Dogford and he protects a school for Ronnoans stars Tom Laughlin, Delorus Taylor and Clark Howard. All right, what happened on No. Vim of the fifth. Now we're celebrating Redheads to day. Over in England, they're celebrating Guy Fox Day.

3:32 He has a really big party over there. In sixteen oh five, after a bunch of years of persecution and England, a group of Catholics decided they were going to kill James the first. They wanted to take out as many of his legislators as they could and all the royalty that they could. So the plan was the opening of the Parliament. What they did is they put thirty six barrels of gunpowder down in the basement it was at the House of Lords. Then when everyone arrived they were going to blow those up and killing as many as they could as possible. Well, one of the conspiracers got Cooldfee. The last minute told, So authorities started searching the building and they got to the basement. Yeah, they found guy Fox sitting on thirty six barrels of gunpowder. Now he was supposed to light it and then just run like hell, but he tried to be sly. He put like firewood and stuff on top of the barrels. But they found it pretty easily. Now, guy he was tortured for two days before he actually gave up. The other conspirators, they were all sentenced to death by their sentence was that they were going to be killed by dragging by horses.

4:28 They would have their genitals cut off and burned in front of their face. Then they would have their hearts and bowels removed, and then they would be decapitated, the disembowed, and then fed to the birds. Well, see, guy Fox, he didn't really like that, so he had to make a run for it. He jumped out of window. Well he's fifty feet in the air, so he broke his neck. I think I'd take that over what those other guys had to go through. So now let's go back to the night that it all went down. See, when the plot was discovered, then they got word out to all the peasants outside the castle that what had happened, So they all started party in and celebrating and burning bonfire and stuff. Yeah, they were so happy that King James was just avoided death and all that kind of stuff. So they still allowed to do it. Fourhundred years later they drank have bonfires. They burned Guy Fox at Effigy, so now they use fireworks too though. Seventeen seventy four are the Continental Congress.
