Hey, Hello, I am Jeff and welcome to history and

2
00:00:13.199 --> 00:00:17.399
Factoids about today, presented by Cool Media. Today's October the thirtieth.

3
00:00:19.640 --> 00:00:27.559
Yellow Orange Whites. Can anybody Jess Tree me rice y

4
00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:33.000
Yellow orange White?

5
00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:41.640
Just today is National Candy Corn Day. Oh come on.

6
00:00:41.799 --> 00:00:43.759
I actually like candy corn. I like the ones that

7
00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:45.399
come in the bags with the little pumpkins in it.

8
00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:48.320
But it is mainly a tradition. George ritten Hour he

9
00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:51.320
created candy corn in Philly in the late eighteen eight hundreds.

10
00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:55.039
Now they're made from sugar corn syrup, marshmellow syrup, and

11
00:00:55.159 --> 00:00:58.399
karuba wax, so obviously they're not idealthy. Now you can

12
00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:00.200
have fun with candy corn, putting them on top of

13
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:02.679
cookies and cupcakes and that kind of stuff. So what

14
00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:04.480
we'll do is we lead some candy cord today, then

15
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:06.920
we'll eat the good stuff tomorrow and then don't give

16
00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:09.480
out candy cord to kids. That'd be uncool. All right,

17
00:01:09.560 --> 00:01:12.040
let's it's going on. In entertainment. In October thirtieth, Back

26
00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:07.560
The number one book was Love Story by Eric Saga.

27
00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:10.719
Top movie. It was the Private Life of Sherlock Holmes.

28
00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:13.599
Sherlock is bored when a woman comes in and tells

29
00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:15.919
him that someone's trying to kill her, so he takes

30
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:18.319
her case, ends up leading him to the Locknest Monster

00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:26.919
what happened In October thirtieth, eighteen sixty four Helena Montana

33
00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:30.759
was founded. It's a slow dick. Eighteen sixty six. James

34
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:33.680
Jesse James and his gang. They robbed a bank in Lexington, Kansas.

35
00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:36.199
Got away with two grand. I'd be almost forty grand today.

36
00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:39.400
The Greatest Show on Earth p T. Barnum Circus. It

37
00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:42.560
debuted in eighteen seventy three in New York City, now Barnum.

38
00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:45.439
He'd actually had this really weird macab museum out there

39
00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:47.840
since about eighteen forty one, so he did that for

40
00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:51.120
twenty years. Thirty years before the freak show circus started

41
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:54.719
eighteen ninety four. Daniel Cooper, he invented the time clock.

42
00:02:55.479 --> 00:02:58.080
Nineteen forty five, the United States government announced that they

43
00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:01.439
were in in shoe rationling for World War Two. Nineteen

44
00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:04.280
fifty two, Clarence Bird's Eye he sold his first frozen piece.

45
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:07.360
See Clarence. He had been freezing food since nineteen twenty five,

46
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:10.080
but nobody owned a freezer that could actually hold it

47
00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:13.159
for him. Nineteen sixty one, in the Soviet Union they

48
00:03:13.199 --> 00:03:17.800
detonated Zarbumba. That was a fifty eight megaton hydra hydrogen bomb.

49
00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:21.680
It's still the largest nuclear bomb ever. Nineteen seventy three

50
00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:25.159
of the Bosporus Bridge opened up in Istanbul, Turkey. Now

51
00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:27.680
half of Istanbul is on Asia and the other half

52
00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:30.159
of istan Bul is in Europe. It's separated by the

53
00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:33.120
Bosphors River. Now this is the first time the two

54
00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:35.680
sides have actually been connected by a bridge since a

55
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:38.919
pontoon bridge was ran across the river for sixty BC.

56
00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:47.280

Shibirth day and you don't that's birthday.

60
00:03:54.879 --> 00:03:57.639
Let's see who was born on October thirty first. John

61
00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:00.800
Adams is born in Brainstream, Massachuse. He sits in seventeen

62
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:03.680
thirty five. His second cousin, Samuel Adams, Now, that was

63
00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:05.599
the one who was raising hell in the United States

64
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:08.479
independence movement. Yeah, he was the leader of Sons of Liberty.

65
00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:11.479
John though he took a more diplomatic approach. He was

66
00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:13.360
kind of a behind the scenes guy. He was a

67
00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:17.000
lawyer and administrator and diplomat. It ended up getting him

68
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:19.360
the first vice presidency of the United States. Yeah, then

69
00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:22.279
he became the second US President, starved from seventeen ninety

70
00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:25.120

John Quincy Adams, became the sixth President of the United States.

73
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:33.839
Now John Adams, him and Thomas Jefferson hated each other.

74
00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:37.079
They couldn't even be in the same room together. Well, eventually,

75
00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:39.279
over the years they kind of became cordial. They eventually

76
00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:42.639
becoming very good friends. On July fourth and eighteen twenty six,

77
00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:45.199

78
00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:49.360

79
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:51.759
ninety years old. Yeah, just a couple hours before Thomas

00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:52.480

88
00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:24.360
at UCLA to study violin. While she was there, she

89
00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:28.439
won a talent contest for yodlin, so she ditched the

90
00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:31.360
violin and went into country music. She married nineteen thirty

91
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:33.720

92
00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:35.959
in the nineteen fifties to be a wife and a mom.

93
00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:39.279
But she did release one more album in nineteen sixty four. Yeah,

94
00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:41.399
she had this young guy played guitar for her on it.

95
00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:43.480
It was the very first time Wiland Jennings ever got paid.

96

Actress Ruth Gordon She was born in Quincy, Massachusetts, in

101
00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:03.000

00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:22.959
stroke in nineteen eighty five at eighty eight years old.

108
00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:38.399
Somebody that was Grace Slick singing for Jefferson Airplane. Grace

111
00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:46.519
Hall of Fame with Jefferson Airplane. Now not Jefferson Starship

112
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:50.079
or Starship Nope, just Jefferson Airplane. She up formed Jefferson

113
00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:53.120
Airplane in nineteen sixty five. It's White Rabbit and Somebody

114
00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:57.040
Love broke up in nineteen seventy three. In nineteen seventy four,

115
00:06:57.079 --> 00:06:58.519
Grace and most of the guys in the band they

116
00:06:58.519 --> 00:07:00.199
all got back together, but they couldn't use the name

117
00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:03.800
Jefferson Airplane, so Jefferson Starship it was. Then in the

118
00:07:03.920 --> 00:07:06.959
nineteen eighty is just Starship. She left and retired nineteen

119
00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:09.680
eighty eight. She's been selling her art since nineteen ninety five.

120
00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:12.800
Now on her website where she sells her art is

121
00:07:13.079 --> 00:07:15.839
Grace slick dot com. You start off with a picture

122
00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:18.319
of her flipping you off, and it says Grace doesn't

123
00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:21.160
care what you think. Got of a different marketing approach.

124
00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:23.519
She was married for ten years and then she had

125
00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:26.000
a daughter after they divorced, and that was to their

126
00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:29.480
guitar player Paul Cantner from the band Jefferson Airplane. Now

127
00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:31.920
she married another guy for eighteen years. Grace, she just

128
00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:34.040
had a lot, a lot of trouble, drugs and alcohol.

129
00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:36.600
She could not quit, no matter of house or but

130
00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:39.160
she tried. Yeah, it didn't work. Finally, in the nineteen

131
00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:41.480
nineties she went to rehab with her daughter. Must of work.

132
00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:44.399
