00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:09.799
were just the leftover cheese. They didn't fit into the

20
00:01:09.879 --> 00:01:12.040
cheese molds, so then they deep fry them. And yeah,

21
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:15.079

The top movie was Tora Toro Torah. It's the story

40

44
00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:50.240
all right, what happened in October the fifteenth? So how

45
00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:53.159
far back do you think people bowld Well in fifteen

46
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:56.280
twenty England's King Henry the Eighth, he built the bowling

47
00:02:56.319 --> 00:02:58.800
alley into his castle. He had a king. He loved

48
00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:01.280
a bull, but he didn't want poor people are commoners

49
00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:03.560
to do it. No, so he put a big tax

50
00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:05.879
on bowling to keep out all the riff raff. He

51
00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:08.000
wanted to make sure only the rich could bowl. So

52
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:10.479
the answer to my own question bowling, it goes back

53
00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:14.000
to ancient Egypt. About five thousand years sixteen sixty in

54
00:03:14.039 --> 00:03:18.439
New Amsterdam, New York today, a Jewish immigrant named Aster Livy.

55
00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:21.199
He was granted one of the first butcher licenses, and

56
00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:24.280
not only that, he is given the first kosher busher license.

57
00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:26.639
After that, he went on to be the first judo

58
00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:29.400
in a slaughter house, first judo actually own a house,

59
00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:31.639
and the first judo own a tavern in North America.

60
00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:36.159
Eighteen sixty in Westfield, New York, eleven year old Grace Bedell,

61
00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:39.639
she wrote a letter to presidential candidate Abraham Lincoln. She

62
00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:42.039
said she couldn't vote, but she really wanted him to win.

63
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:44.080
And then she told him that he should grow a beard.

64
00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:46.879
She said, you would look a lot great deal better

65
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:49.960
because of your thin face. Plus the ladies love the whiskers.

66
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:50.840
Well.

67
00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:52.719
Ab wrote her back and said, well, he had never

68
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:54.879
grown a beard, but he would think about it. He

69
00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:57.719
thought about it and grew beard after he won the election.

70
00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:00.000
On his way to Washington, d c. To be a Nagara,

71
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:02.400
he had a straight stop in Westfield, New York when

72
00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:04.280
he got off for the traid and he met Grace

73
00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:06.599
and her dad on the platform. Ab bent over and

74
00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:08.360
gave Grace a kiss on the cheeks so she could

75
00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:11.199
feel his whiskers. Now, Lincoln, he was the first president

76
00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:13.599
to have a beard. Now four other presidents since then

77
00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:16.560
have done it. Now, three presidents have had mutton chops,

78
00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:19.839
and three presidents have had mustaches. No president has any

79
00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:23.759
facial hair since nineteen thirteen. Eighteen eighty one, and the

80
00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:26.879
first fishing magazine went on sale. Yeah, it's called American Angler.

81
00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:29.600
He had the last issue and in twenty twenty, so

82
00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:32.959
it had been gone very long. Nineteen seventeen, over in France,

83
00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:35.319
a French exotic dancer, her name was Mata Hari. She

84
00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:38.000
was executed by firing squad. So she was a spy

85
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:40.160
for the Germans dur of World War One. She was

86
00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:42.600
sleep but the Allied officers and then give the information

87
00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:45.560
to the Germans. Now for her execution, she dressed all

88
00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:47.759
up really nice and pretty and everything. She refused to

89
00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:50.319
have a ware of hindfold. She even blew a kiss

90
00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:52.879
to the firing squad before they opened fire on her. Now,

91
00:04:52.920 --> 00:04:55.079
her family would not claim her body after the execution,

92
00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:59.040
so her body was actually donated for medical study. Now

93
00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:00.959
she wasn't just like yea stripper things. She was like

94
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:03.720
