10
00:00:40.679 --> 00:00:43.799
I'm sorry, I only caught the doubleburger.
11
00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:50.280
Today is National Double Cheeseburger Day, not Cheeseburger Day that's
12
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:54.079
coming up on Wednesday the eighteenth. Today is Double Cheeseburger Day.
13
00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:59.359
Nineteen thirty seven. Out in California, Bob's Big Boy Burgers
14
00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:01.280
came up with as they get credit for the first
15
00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:04.799
double cheeseburger. Now, most restaurants they aren't having deals today, Nope,

00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:09.920

00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:13.079
you to grow up your own double cheeseburgers today. All right,
19
00:01:13.159 --> 00:01:15.959
let's say that happened in entertainment on September the fifteenth's
20
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:18.760
Back to Last Year twenty twenty three number one album
21
00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:21.840
was Zach Brian by Zach Brian. Zach Brian and Casey
22
00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:24.439
Musgrave had the number one song with I Remember Everything.
23
00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:26.799
Cole sl Coles The.
24
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:29.239
Time You need to stay till the.
25
00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:35.239
Strange rooms, cool out the bone man's mouth when his
26
00:01:35.319 --> 00:01:40.480
funds pictures and pass the time. You only start like
27
00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:45.599
that when you drink King. I wish up didn't.
28
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:51.719
Luke Colembs had the number one country song with love
29
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:54.959
You Anyway lack of Compensate.
30
00:01:56.519 --> 00:02:10.879
It's true, Damn thresonless hard ring you Anyway.
31
00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:16.159
The number one book was Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros.
32
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:19.360
The top movie was The nune To two in nineteen
33
00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:22.319
fifty six in France, a priest is brutally murdered, then
34
00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:25.000
sister Iran comes face to face with a demon nun
35
00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:29.840
stars Tsa Pharmaga doing his bookt and Storm Reen the
36
00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:32.800
photo of the Ford Car Company. They were the first
37
00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:34.919
ones to do it. Back in nineteen sixty five they
38
00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:39.039
started selling their cars with factory installed eight track tape players. Now,
39
00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:41.199
if you're too young, you missed out the eight track
40
00:02:41.319 --> 00:02:43.800
tape player. That was the ease and convenience of a
41
00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:47.840
compact disc combined with rubik scube. Now at the time,
42
00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:49.960
you can pretty much only get your eight track tapes, though,
43
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:52.199
if you wanted to buy them from auto part stores
44
00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:56.240
and forward dealerships. Now, before a concert in nineteen sixty nine,
45
00:02:56.360 --> 00:02:59.879
Cosby Steals Nashing Young, they were backstage in Big Circle,
46
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:03.719
Well Stills, he got into a fistfight with a Heckler. Now,
47
00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:06.560
after everybody scattered around and they finally broke up the fight,
48
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:08.680
the guys decided, you know, we'll go ahead and go
49
00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:10.280
on stage and play anyway. You know, it is a
50
00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:12.759
benefit concert. Yeah, it was a benefit concert for the
51
00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:16.039
Institute for the Study of Non Violence. All right, let's
52
00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:19.759
see what happened on September the fifteenth, now today's New York.
53
00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:22.639
Back when the Dutch founded it, it was New Amsterdam.
54
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:26.240
In sixteen fifty five, they had the Peach War. The
55
00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:28.960
Munseie Indians. They attacked New Amsterdam and killed forty of
56
00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:31.680
the colonists. It was in retaliation for a Munzie woman
57
00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:35.919
who was killed picking peaches. Eighteen twenty one, Costa Rica,
58
00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:40.240
El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua. They all declared their independence
59
00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:42.879
from Spain. Now at that point in time, Spain they
60
00:03:42.919 --> 00:03:45.439
were in no position to stop them, so that only
61
00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:48.479
left Cuba and Puerto Rico as the only Spanish territories
62
00:03:48.520 --> 00:03:51.680
in the Americas. Now, I'm just curious, what would your
63
00:03:51.719 --> 00:03:53.719
reaction be if you heard that a whole bunch of
64
00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:57.719
little Willies were coming for you. Nineteen sixteen is scared
65
00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:00.039
the hell out of a bunch of German soldiers. In
66
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:01.599
World War One and one of the battles of the
67
00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:04.039
Somme Breton, they used tanks for the very first time
68
00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:07.680
in world history. Now they were nicknamed Little Willie's the tanks.
69
00:04:07.719 --> 00:04:09.240
They had a crew of eight. They could get her
70
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:11.240
up to four miles an hour. But they were really
71
00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:14.039
heavily armored and they could go over anything, barbed wire,
72
00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:16.759
trenches and anything. Nowadays, you really don't think of an
73
00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:20.439
army that doesn't have tanks. In nineteen twenty eight, in
74
00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:24.279
Saint Mary's Hospital in London, a bacteriologist named Alexander Fleming,
75
00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:26.839
he was studying influenza. Yeah, he's working on the flu
76
00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:29.839
ended up discovering penicillin. It is considered one of the
77
00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:33.639
greatest discoveries in human history. I think this guy got fired.
78
00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:36.519
In nineteen fifty eight, in Bayone, New Jersey, forty eight
79
00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:39.319
people were killed. Their commuter train crashed off and opened
80
00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:43.160
drawbridge that someone forgot to close. Nineteen eighty two, the
81
00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:46.759
first issue of the newspaper USA Today was published. I
82
00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:48.839
didn't know, but it's still publishing. Yeah, you can get
83
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:52.560
it either online or in print. Nineteen ninety seven, Google
84
00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:56.399
dot com was registered as a domain name. In twenty fourteen,
85
00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:59.120
President Barack Obama he announced that he was sending three
86
00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:01.759
thousand US troops to Africa. He wanted to help with
87
00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:04.600
the spread of the Ebola virus. That's pretty much word
88
00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:07.120
for word what he said. But no one could figure
89
00:05:07.160 --> 00:05:09.160
out why did he want to help spread the Ebola virus.
90
00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:14.639
Coke coke, coke coat shage.
91
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:17.240
This shivers day, We're gonna pause.
92
00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:19.959
He left, this shuver day. We gonna simpletage.
93
00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:22.360
He was like, this shiverbirth day, and you know we
94
00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:24.120
don't give us birthday.
95
00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:28.600
Okay who was born on September the fifteenth, Marco Polo.
96
00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:31.720
He was born in Venice in twelve fifty four. Now
97
00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:33.800
he was a merchant. He traveled the Silk Road to
98
00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:36.240
Asia to get his supplies. Now, he wasn't the first
99
00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:38.120
European to go to China, but he was the first
100
00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:40.920
one to write detailed descriptions of it and provide maps
101
00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:42.959
and that kind of stuff. Then on one of his journeys,
102
00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:45.800
he met Mongo leader Kopla Khan Khan he was so
103
00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:48.519
impressed with Marco that he made him as foreign ambassador.
104
00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:52.120
He sent Polo on diplomatic missions throughout the Southeast Asia,
105
00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:55.879
Go Burma, India, Indonesia, Vietnam, all those areas. Polo, he
106
00:05:56.000 --> 00:05:59.040
was also granted access to all over China. He gotta
107
00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:01.720
go places that no white guy had been before. Now,
108
00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:03.959
after he had served for Koopa Khan for seventeen years,
109
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:06.680
he was asked to escort Mongo princess over to Persia
110
00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:10.360
so she could get married or Persia that's Iran today. Now,
111
00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:12.560
after Polo dropped her off, he just kept going decaid.
112
00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:14.600
He wanted to go home to Venice. When he got
113
00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:16.560
back he'd been gone for twenty four years, he found
114
00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:18.639
out that they were at war with Genoa. I remember
115
00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:21.279
Italy didn't become one country until eighteen sixty one. It
116
00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:24.639
was all a bunch of different kingdoms. Well, Polo, he decided, Wow,
117
00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:26.480
I guess i'm here, I might as well fight for Venice.
118
00:06:26.519 --> 00:06:29.079
That's where I'm from. He was immediately captured and spent
119
00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:31.360
the next three years in prison. Now, while he is
120
00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:34.319
in prison, he dictated his adventures to a cellmate, and
121
00:06:34.519 --> 00:06:37.319
when Polo was released, he became a very very rich merchant.
122
00:06:37.439 --> 00:06:39.959
He married and had three daughters, and his cellmate he
123
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:43.759
did pretty well. Also, he actually wrote all those stories
124
00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:45.639
from Marco Polo down. Yeah, one of the best selling
125
00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:48.800
books in history called Marco Polo, So everybody came out
126
00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:51.360
of winter Paulo. He died from an illness in thirteen
127
00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:53.800
twenty four at seventy years old, and we looked it up.
128
00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:56.720
The swimming pool game Marco Polo, Yeah, started in the
129
00:06:56.800 --> 00:07:00.519
nineteen sixties, but no one knows who started it. William
130
00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:03.279
Howard Taft He was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, in eighteen
131
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:06.000
fifty seven. He started out as a judge. Then he
132
00:07:06.199 --> 00:07:08.639
was the first US governor to Cuba. Then he was
133
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:11.000
Secretary of War, then the twenty seventh President of the
134
00:07:11.079 --> 00:07:13.920
United States, served from nineteen oh nine to nineteen thirteen.
135
00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:16.199
Now he was a big guy, but he never did
136
00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:18.279
get stuck in the White House bathtub. That's kind of
137
00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:21.120
an urban legend, but he did have an oversized bathtub
138
00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:23.560
installed in the White House. Now, he was the first
139
00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:25.959
president to throw out the first pitch at the baseball game.
140
00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:28.560
After he got out of office in nineteen twenty one,
141
00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:31.759
he's appointing Chief Justice to the US Supreme Court. Served
142
