I know what I see, But don't think I don't
32
00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:25.719
think about.
33
00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:30.319
The Number one book was the story of Edgar Sttel
34
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:35.159
by Daniel Wergilinski. Top movie was Beverly Hills, Chihuahua. While
35
00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:38.280
on vacation in Mexico, I really reached Beverly Hills, Johawa.
36
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:42.240
Get Lost, stars Drew Barry, mar George Lopez, and Piper Paper.
37
00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:47.000
Nineteen fifty. The comic strip Peanuts debut. Yeah, Charlie Brown
38
00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:49.520
and all his friends Snoopy. He didn't debut until the
39
00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:53.280
third strip, Peanuts. It ran until Charles Charles Schultz died
40
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:56.479
in two thousand. Before Peanuts, he called the little folks.
41
00:02:56.879 --> 00:03:00.800
All right, what happened on October the second nine? Here
42
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:03.520
in Colorado, Nicholas Creed. He struck it rich with a
43
00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:06.759
really huge silver discovery. Now that caused the last silver
44
00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:09.479
rush or silver boom in the United States. Now they
45
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:12.120
named the town Creed after him. It's in the southern
46
00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:14.039
mountains down here, it's really pretty part of the state.
47
00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:17.800
Eighteen ninety three, it's called the Great October Storm. It
48
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:20.759
is the fourth worst hurricane to ever hit the United States.
49
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:24.240
It hit Louisiana. Over two thousand people were killed. Now
50
00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:26.080
that's a lot more than Katrina. And he has to
51
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:28.599
think about it. Louisiana's population the time wasn't nearly what
52
00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:31.520
it was when Katrina hit either. It's actually one of
53
00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:34.360
the first hurricanes that they gave a Category four rating
54
00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:38.120

58
00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:45.560
She hit one of her convoys. She hits that curri CoA,
59
00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:48.000
sliced it right in half. Killed two hundred and thirty
60
00:03:48.080 --> 00:03:52.199
nine British sailors. Now that on the Queen Mary. Yeah
61
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:54.080
she was fine. She only lost a little bit of paint.
62
00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:57.280
This is kind of shocking. In nineteen sixty six in
63
00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:00.479
San Francisco, every member of the band the Grateful that. Yeah,
64
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:04.680

00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:24.199
John Snatner he founded it. Today it is the fourth
71
00:04:24.279 --> 00:04:25.160

72
00:04:27.800 --> 00:04:33.879

00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:45.120
Okay. It was born October the second Mohammed Gandhi. He

00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:51.680
Now he's born Mihondas now Mahama. That's just a title
78
00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:54.000
that was giving him. It means great soul. So whether
79
00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:56.959
you call him Mahatma or Mahonda's mad doesn't matter. When
80
00:04:56.959 --> 00:04:58.879
it's nineteen he left India. He went to England to
81
00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:01.439
study law. After he graduated, he took a job in
82
00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:04.040
South Africa. When he got down there, he couldn't believe
83
00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:06.920
how badly the Indian people were treated down there in
84
00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:09.720
South Africa. So to help the Indian people who work
85
00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:11.959
and live down there. Yeah, he started a campaign a
86
00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:16.000
passive resistance. Then after twenty years he went home. He
87
00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:19.839
decided to go help India get his independence from Great Britain. Yeah,
88
00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:22.519
he became a leader in the independence movement over there
89
00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:26.040
in India. Yeah, of course, using passive resistance. It worked.
90
00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:30.920
India got their independence in nineteen forty seven. Now, Ghandhi
91
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:33.519

00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:31.360

174
00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:35.240

Very pressu, very Founduly, very step hobby, Choose your res.
176
00:09:56.759 --> 00:09:59.360
Staying. He's seventy four. He's been walls in England in
177
00:09:59.399 --> 00:10:02.960
nineteen fifty. Now, that song Every Breath You Take It
178
00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:06.320
is the most played song on the radio all time. Yeah,
179
00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:08.879
I didn't never guess that one. Now, that was when
180
00:10:08.879 --> 00:10:10.759
he was with the police. So he started out as
181
00:10:10.799 --> 00:10:14.159
Gordon and Sumner in a high school teacher. Nineteen seventy seven,
182
00:10:14.200 --> 00:10:15.960
he quit teaching and helped form the band The Place
183
00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:18.320
and changed his name to Sting. Now, Sting was a
184
00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:20.559
nickname he had gotten when he was like eighteen years old.
185
00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:22.759
Had something to do with you wear a sweater when
186
00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:24.600
he performed on stage, man he made him look like
187
00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:26.679
a b or something like that. He had solo in
188
00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:29.279
nineteen eighty six. So between The Place and Solo, Solo
189
00:10:29.360 --> 00:10:32.639
run a million records. Now he's on world tour right now,
190
00:10:32.759 --> 00:10:34.480
but I'm pretty sure he's done with his US part
191
00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:36.840
of the world tour. He had two children from his
192
00:10:36.840 --> 00:10:39.200
first wife. Married his second wife in nineteen ninety two
193
00:10:39.200 --> 00:11:04.120
and they have four kids. Sorry. Philip Boakley he is

00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:16.120
a science fiction board game over there in England, something
198
00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:20.559

199
00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:23.440
some of their big hits now they still tour, but
200
00:11:23.480 --> 00:11:26.000

years now. When he's on stage, Phil he looks really professional.
203
00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:34.080
He always wears an Armani suit. He wants to look
204
00:11:34.120 --> 00:11:36.679
the best. But what Phil is most excited or most
205
00:11:36.720 --> 00:11:39.320
proud of, I guess you'd say underneath that Armani suit.
206
00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:42.960
He has a Prince Albert Piercing. Yeah, he tells everybody
207
00:11:42.960 --> 00:11:44.879
about it. I don't know if he shows him or not. Though.
208
00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:47.480
If you don't know what appear in Prince Albert Piercing is, yeah,
