00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:22.480
Hi, I'm Jeff, and welcome to history and Factoid's about today.
2
00:00:22.559 --> 00:00:24.079
Today's October the twenty fourth.
3
00:00:24.760 --> 00:00:27.320
My baloney has the first ninety.
4
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:30.120
It's os.
5
00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:31.800
My baloney has.
6
00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:32.960
A second namage.
7
00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:35.600
Aye, arm I.
8
00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:39.359
Love Julia every day if you love me.
9
00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:44.079
Wilf Cavascabaya has.
10
00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:46.119
A wayless theology.
11
00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:49.679
Today is National Bologney Day.
12
00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:51.640
Now.
13
00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:54.759
It's named after the Italian city of Bologna. Now over
14
00:00:54.759 --> 00:00:58.320
there they call it mortidella, and they make it with sausage,
15
00:00:58.439 --> 00:01:02.119
large chunks of fat and pepper, So that's mordidella. Here
16
00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:04.680
in the United States, we make blown it from ground meat,
17
00:01:05.239 --> 00:01:08.079
usually scraps of pork or beef for chicken or turkey,
18
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:10.239
usually one type. But they do combos and all that
19
00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:12.439
kind of stuff, and we don't put chunks of fat
20
00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:14.959
in it. Yes, I'm saying it right. In the United States,
21
00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:18.560
we do say blooney, not Bologna. Ah, let's go gold
22
00:01:18.599 --> 00:01:21.040
old school today. Yeah, let's have ourselves a blowna sandwich.
23
00:01:21.079 --> 00:01:22.560
We can make it up as fancy as we went,
24
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:25.840
but if we really want a gourmet, yeah, we can
25
00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:27.239
have a fried bologna sandwich.
26
00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:30.319
That's some good eating right there, all right, let's see
27
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:31.359
what's going on in entertainment.
28
00:01:31.400 --> 00:01:33.200
In October twenty fourth, Let's Go Out to Your twenty
29
00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:36.439
eleven numb one album was Clear as Day by Scotty McCreary.
30
00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:39.319
Adele had this number one song was Someone Like You.
31
00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:53.200
It Is No Never Fine sou Wish, Nothing but the Best.
32
00:01:57.159 --> 00:02:03.079
Dogain Blake Shelton Nod the number one country song with
33
00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:28.639
God Gave Me You Say. The number one book was
34
00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:31.520
the Best of Me by Nicholas Sparks Todd movie Let's
35
00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:34.159
put some boots and out lock Cat and then some
36
00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:36.240
of his friends. They try and find the Golden Goose
37
00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:38.719
to get her eggs. They want to clear his name,
38
00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:42.039
restore his reputation and honor, Yeah, and make his mama
39
00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:45.719
real proud of him. Voiced by Antonio Bendera Somahayak and
40
00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:48.840
Zach Galifanovkas and Billy Bob Thornton. He had quite a
41
00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:52.280
few others actually. Nineteen eighty eight John Fogerty, Yeah, he
42
00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:56.000
went on trail. He was accused of plagiarizing himself see
43
00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:58.080
an old record company and discovered that they had just
44
00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:01.080
a sliver of royalty still, so they went to court.
45
00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:04.360
They said that when John was with Creeden's Clear Writtery Revival.
46
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:05.159
He wrote a.
47
00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:07.919
Song called run through the Jungle. Now that he was solo,
48
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:10.800
he had changed that into old Man down the Road. Well,
49
00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:13.639
the coat court, yeah, they rolled the chart for Fogarty. Yeah,
50
00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:15.639
they decide, Yeah, you don't have to pay yourself or
51
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:45.000
the record company.
52
00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:48.439
You got.
53
00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:53.800
Steel Man's Down Roads.
54
00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:58.000
I think Fogerty was guilty. I think he should have
55
00:03:58.000 --> 00:03:59.759
had to pay up all right.
56
00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:02.000
That it had happened on October the twenty fourth, in
57
00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:05.039
the year seventy nine, Mount Vesuvius, it might have erupted,
58
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:07.280
you know how when it erupted at Bird the city
59
00:04:07.319 --> 00:04:09.840
at Pompey, and then like four other cities. See, the
60
00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:12.560
experts are fighting though. They can't decide whether it happened
61
00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:15.360
today or on August twenty fourth. So I guess which
62
00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:17.319
did happen. It really must change a lot of things,
63
00:04:17.399 --> 00:04:20.279
or why would they care. Eighteen sixty one, the first
64
00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:22.920
trans continental telegraph was sent. I was sent from San
65
00:04:22.959 --> 00:04:26.680
Francisco to Washington, d C. Now, well, telegraph lines running
66
00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:29.000
across the country. They have no need for the Pony Express.
67
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:31.680
It actually closed two days later. Now it costs five
68
00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:33.920
hundred thousand dollars put in that first coast to coast
69
00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:38.040
telegraph line. But in twenty seven thousand, five hundred poles. Now,
70
00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:41.759
actually they started the Mississippi River telegraphs on the east
71
00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:44.600
side of Mississippi. They were already done. All they did
72
00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:46.759
was follow the Pony Express route. Yeah, they had the
73
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:49.720
easiest route, so they just followed that. Also, in eighteen
74
00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:53.079
sixty one, West Virginia succeeded from Virginia. No way were
75
00:04:53.079 --> 00:04:56.000
they going to be part of that South nineteen oh one,
76
00:04:56.160 --> 00:04:59.199
Annie Taylor she wanted to celebrate her sixty third birthday,
77
00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:02.160
so she grabbed her cat and survived, going over Niagara
78
00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:04.079
Falls in a barrel and surviving.
79
00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:05.560
Yep, she was the first person to do it.
80
00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:08.000
So Annie, she was a broke, out of work school
81
00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:10.360
teacher and she did it to get rich and famous.
82
00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:12.839
So she had a barrel built of oak and iron.
83
00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:15.600
Then she used a mattress for patting. Her biggest problem
84
00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:17.360
was getting people to help her out. No one wanted
85
00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:19.959
to participate in what they thought was suicide. She finally
86
00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:21.680
was able to talk some guys in helping her out,
87
00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:24.480
so she climbed into the barrel with her cat in
88
00:05:24.519 --> 00:05:27.120
a heart shaped pillow. Then the guys they screwed the
89
00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:28.759
lid on and now there was a little hole in
90
00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:30.680
the side. So they took a bicycle pump and pump
91
00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:32.639
some air in it. Then they put a cork in that.
92
00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:34.600
Then they rode out to the middle of the river.
93
00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:37.680
It just let her go, that's right. So after she
94
00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:39.680
went over the falls, it took about twenty minutes for
95
00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:40.800
her rescuers to get to her.
96
00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:42.360
Yeah, she was pretty much fine.
97
00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:43.800
She just had a gash in her forehead and that's
98
00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:46.439
probably by the cat, because he's pretty pissed. Now. Annie,
99
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:48.079
she made a little bit of money right off the bat,
100
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:50.560
and then yeah, all the publicity died down. She didn't
101
00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:53.040
make grow squat from it. She ended up dying pennyless
102
00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:55.439
in nineteen twenty one. The public actually had to donate
103
00:05:55.439 --> 00:05:58.240
in order to pay for her funeral. Nineteen oh eight,
104
00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:00.519
that song take Me Out to the Ballgame You had
105
00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:04.839
hit the charts. Songwriters Edward von Tiltser and Jack Norworth
106
00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:07.160
had never even gone to a baseball game now he
107
00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:09.040
wanted in nineteen oh eight in the chart Cells at work,
108
00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:11.600
We'll see back then because they hadn't played, they weren't
109
00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:14.399
any radio to play the songs on, and hardly any
110
00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:16.560
that he had actually record players. What they would do
111
00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:19.160
for music stores is you would buy the sheet music.
112
00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:21.040
So somebody had come out with the sheet and yeah,
113
00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:22.600
and you'd grabther the sheet music and go to her
114
00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:24.199
house and then you would play and singing and home.
115
00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:27.959
So that's actually how they rated the top songs back then.
116
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:31.759
Nineteen thirty nine nylon stockings went for sale on sale
117
00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:34.319
for the very first time, but only in Wilmington, Delaware.
118
00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:36.600
See that's where du Pontma's headquartered. And then the ones
119
00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:39.199
who made them. So they were such a big hit
120
00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:41.680
and they were so popular that you actually had to
121
00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:44.639
prove that you lived in Wilmington in order to get them. Yeah,
122
00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:46.160
if you didn't have any kind of idea, they wouldn't
123
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:47.839
sell them to it. Now they did go and sell
124
00:06:47.879 --> 00:06:51.000
the rest of the country. In May nineteen forty four,
125
00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:53.680
are in the United States Navy pilot David mccampbell. He
126
00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:56.720
shot down nine Japanese warplanes in one mission. He was
127
00:06:56.800 --> 00:06:59.120
at the Battle of Late Day Golf. Now that record
128
00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:01.439
it still stands, and he did survive the war too.
129
00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:05.519
He ended up with getting thirty four actually aerial victories,
130
00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:08.439
so he is still the Navies all time leading flying ace.
131
00:07:09.439 --> 00:07:13.240
Nineteen sixty in the solvi Union, a prototype missile exploded
132
00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:15.680
on the launch pad build one of their highest ranking generals.
133
00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:18.480
Guild also over one hundred other people. Now the Soviets,
134
00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:20.199
they announced to the world that they all died in
135
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:22.920
a plane crash. Wasn't until nineteen eighty nine. Then everybody
136
00:07:22.920 --> 00:07:24.120
figured out what actually happened.
137
00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:31.879
Cope cope, cop doped, dope show dish Shivert day. Please
138
00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:32.480
gonna pause.
139
00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:33.959
He left this shivers day.
140
00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:36.680
We won't simple target thish shibt day.
141
00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:37.959
And you know we don't do.
142
00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:43.040
Well. Let's check out. It's born in October the twenty fourth.
143
00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:06.319
Comic book writer Bob Kane was born in New York
144
00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:09.439
City in nineteen fifteen. Bob, in nineteen thirty four he
145
00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:13.920
created Batmann Batman a DC comics. They wanted him come
146
00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:16.160
up with a superhero comp beat with Superman in the
147
00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:19.120
comic book self. So Bob came up with Batman and
148
00:08:19.199 --> 00:08:21.360
Robin the Joker and the Riddlers. Yeah, that whole cast
149
00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:23.920
of characters. Now, he did create a bunch of comics
150
00:08:23.920 --> 00:08:26.720
after that, but no nowhere near as big as Batman. Now.
151
00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:28.920
Bob had a daughter from his first wife. He married
152
00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:30.959
his second wife for eleven years when he died in
153
00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:32.840
nineteen ninety eight and eighty three years old.
154
00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:42.120
Shantilly Ladies, Sign Tal Hanger, the wall Man. It's all.
155
00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:45.200
The world around.
156
00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:48.120
In the world like a big hotd girl.
157
00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:50.960
That make me so far, to make men mom, to
158
00:08:51.039 --> 00:08:53.440
make me fal loose like a loan mad to.
159
00:08:53.480 --> 00:08:57.120
Josel Charles Richardson. He's best known as the Big Bumper.
160
00:08:57.600 --> 00:08:59.879
He is born in Seman Pass, Texas. In nineteen thirty.
161
00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:02.840
He gave himself the nickname the Big Bopper. Yeah, he
162
00:09:02.879 --> 00:09:05.399
was a radio DJ, so that was his call name. Now,
163
00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:08.039
after years of working as a DJ, his singing crib
164
00:09:08.120 --> 00:09:10.440
finally started to take off. He had that hit song
165
00:09:10.559 --> 00:09:13.759
Chantility's Lace. His next song, White Nighting, he was getting
166
00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:15.919
ready to be released as a single, so he took
167
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:17.559
some time off from the radio station to go out
168
00:09:17.639 --> 00:09:19.559
on tour, you know. And that was Buddy Holly and
169
00:09:19.639 --> 00:09:22.639
Richie Valens. Yeah, sadly they all died in that plane crush.
170
00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:23.240
The Bopper.
171
00:09:23.279 --> 00:09:25.000
