00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:21.500
Hello everyone i am jeff and welcome to history and
2
00:00:21.539 --> 00:00:24.519
factoids about today presented by cool media today's september the
3
00:00:24.559 --> 00:00:27.199
27th i'll catch you like.
4
00:00:26.660 --> 00:00:29.000
I'm ash corned beef hash.
5
00:00:41.369 --> 00:00:42.810
Corned beef hash.
6
00:00:43.409 --> 00:00:47.950
Today is National Corned Beef Hash Day. Woo-hoo! Became popular
7
00:00:47.990 --> 00:00:50.100
during World War II as a result of food rationing.
8
00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:53.000
It was hard to get fresh beef, so people got creative.
9
00:00:53.140 --> 00:00:56.799
They started putting their leftovers together. Meat, vegetables, potatoes, all
10
00:00:56.820 --> 00:00:58.719
of it. Nothing would go to waste. Still a good
11
00:00:58.740 --> 00:01:01.259
way to get rid of your leftovers. Now, today's corned
12
00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:04.180
beef hash, it is simple. Potatoes and corned beef. Or,
13
00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:05.579
you know, they started selling it in a can in
14
00:01:05.599 --> 00:01:08.620
the 1950s. I think corned beef hash is a breakfast
15
00:01:08.659 --> 00:01:10.500
kind of food, so today might be a good breakfast
16
00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:13.030
for dinner night. Now, if you want the best corned
17
00:01:13.049 --> 00:01:14.890
beef after, I'd probably go to a greasy spoon diner.
18
00:01:14.939 --> 00:01:16.540
That'd be your best bet. But if you make it
19
00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:18.079
at home, there are no rules. You can make it
20
00:01:18.099 --> 00:01:20.260
how you want. I'd use a can. Just enjoy some
21
00:01:20.299 --> 00:01:21.260
corned beef hash today.
22
00:01:22.379 --> 00:01:22.739
All right.
23
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:25.180
Let's see what was going on in entertainment on September
24
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:28.680
the 27th back in 1959. Number one album was the
25
00:01:28.719 --> 00:01:32.329
Kingston Trio at large by Kingston Trio. Santo and Johnny
26
00:01:32.390 --> 00:01:56.519
had the number one song was Sleepwalk. The Browns had
27
00:01:56.560 --> 00:01:58.579
the number one country song with the three bells.
28
00:01:59.859 --> 00:02:05.700
All the chapel bells were ringing In the little valley
29
00:02:05.780 --> 00:02:13.539
town And the song that they were singing Was for
30
00:02:13.620 --> 00:02:23.650
baby Jimmy Brown And the little congregation Prayed for guidance from.
31
00:02:23.449 --> 00:02:28.689
Above The number one book was Advise and Consent by
32
00:02:28.780 --> 00:02:32.379
Alan Drury. The top movie was North by Northwest. Now
33
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:35.819
that's an Alfred Hitchcock movie. See, an advertising executive, he
34
00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:37.680
has to go on the run after he is mistaken
35
00:02:37.780 --> 00:02:41.039
as a U.S. spy by foreign spies. Stars Cary Grant,
36
00:02:41.189 --> 00:02:44.719
Eva Marie Saint, and James Mason. All right, what happened
37
00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:49.289
on September the 27th? 1590, Pope Urban VII died. 13
38
00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:52.189
days after becoming pope. That is still the shortest papacy
39
00:02:52.229 --> 00:02:54.990
in history. Died from malaria. Now as a state, it
40
00:02:55.009 --> 00:02:57.090
went to dowries for poor young girls. Yeah, so they
41
00:02:57.110 --> 00:03:00.849
could get married. 1694, a hurricane hit Barbados. It sank
42
00:03:00.849 --> 00:03:05.599
27 British ships, killed over 3,000 sailors. Yeah, British didn't
43
00:03:05.620 --> 00:03:09.039
write down what happened to the Barbados people, though. 1821,
44
00:03:09.020 --> 00:03:12.840
the Mexican War of Independence ended. Yeah, they didn't get it. See,
45
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:18.360
Spain crushed the revolution. Yeah, so Spain remained in power. 1892,
46
00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:21.719
the Diamond Match Company started selling the first book of matches. Yeah,
47
00:03:21.740 --> 00:03:26.419
before that, you just got those single wood matches. 1905,
48
00:03:26.419 --> 00:03:29.300
basically the only physicist that everybody knows is Albert Einstein.
49
00:03:29.740 --> 00:03:32.620
He had a paper published today. It introduced his equation,
50
00:03:32.650 --> 00:03:35.370
E equals MC squared. Took him 10 years to come
51
00:03:35.430 --> 00:03:38.289
up with it. Now, it is probably the most equationary.
52
00:03:38.370 --> 00:03:40.449
Everybody pretty much has heard of E equals MC squared.
53
00:03:40.909 --> 00:03:43.370
But do you know what it really means? It's energy
54
00:03:43.509 --> 00:03:46.409
equals mass times the speed of light squared. It means
55
00:03:46.449 --> 00:03:49.830
that energy and mass or matter are interchangeable and that
56
00:03:49.889 --> 00:03:52.409
nothing can go faster than the speed of light. Music
57
00:04:10.620 --> 00:04:13.120
That song is Memphis Blues by W.C.
58
00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:13.460
Hardy.
59
00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:16.560
It was released today in 1912. It is the first
60
00:04:16.620 --> 00:04:19.839
blues song in history. During World War II, with so
61
00:04:19.899 --> 00:04:22.730
many cargo ships being sank as they were going across
62
00:04:22.750 --> 00:04:25.610
the Atlantic Ocean, yeah, something had to be done. See,
63
00:04:25.629 --> 00:04:27.829
they were going to run out of ships. United States
64
00:04:27.870 --> 00:04:29.990
came up with the Liberty Ships. Now, they were simple
65
00:04:30.029 --> 00:04:32.939
to build and inexpensive. Each one only cost about $ 2 million.
66
00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:36.800
So in 18 shipyards across the United States from 1941
67
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:42.149
to 1945, They were able to build 2,710 of those
68
00:04:42.170 --> 00:04:44.810
Liberty ships. That more than replaced all the ships that
69
00:04:44.850 --> 00:04:47.490
got sink. It was the day in 1941 the very
70
00:04:47.509 --> 00:04:49.850
first one was launched. Now, if you watch the TV show,
71
00:04:49.870 --> 00:04:52.110
The Deadliest Catch, yeah, they have a Liberty ship on there.
72
00:04:52.129 --> 00:04:53.970
It was converted over to a crab boat. Yeah, it's
73
00:04:53.990 --> 00:04:58.500
called the Wizard. Yeah, still going strong. 1964, the Warren
74
00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:02.360
Commission that was formed to investigate the assassination of President
75
00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:06.660
John Kennedy, they released their findings today. They concluded that
76
00:05:06.699 --> 00:05:09.810
Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone Yeah, no one believed it
77
00:05:09.850 --> 00:05:13.029
back then either. In 2023, on his way to the sun,
78
00:05:13.170 --> 00:05:15.569
the Parker Solar Probe set a record for being the
79
00:05:15.589 --> 00:05:18.269
fastest thing ever made by human beings. That got up
80
00:05:18.629 --> 00:05:22.870
to 394,736 miles an hour. To put it in perspective,
81
00:05:22.930 --> 00:05:25.129
that'd be going from Los Angeles to New York in
82
00:05:25.129 --> 00:05:30.170
20 seconds. Okay, he was born on September the 27th.
83
00:05:30.230 --> 00:05:31.709
All right, you beer lovers.
84
00:05:31.810 --> 00:05:35.079
Samuel Adams. He was born in Boston in 1722.
85
00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:37.639
One of our founding fathers. Now, his second cousin was
86
00:05:37.660 --> 00:05:38.339
John Adams.
87
00:05:38.379 --> 00:05:40.060
Now, John, he took the diplomatic route as a.
88
00:05:40.019 --> 00:05:56.550
Lawyer for the American Revolution. Yeah, that's how he got
89
00:05:56.589 --> 00:05:58.970
the job as the second president of the United States. Sam,
90
00:05:58.990 --> 00:06:01.509
he didn't do diplomacy. No, he was a rebel. He
91
00:06:01.550 --> 00:06:03.829
was actually the main leader in the American independence movement.
92
00:06:04.329 --> 00:06:05.949
He was head of the Sons of Liberty. You know,
93
00:06:05.990 --> 00:06:08.069
those guys who pulled out the Boston Tea Party. They
94
00:06:08.089 --> 00:06:09.490
did a lot more than that, though, but they just
95
00:06:09.529 --> 00:06:13.480
kept it kind of under the radar. Sam, he was
96
00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:15.399
a really huge thorn in England's side, but he did
97
00:06:15.420 --> 00:06:18.139
go into politics. He was in the Continental Congress. He
98
00:06:18.180 --> 00:06:20.980
was actually really instrumental in the Declaration of Independence. He
99
00:06:21.019 --> 00:06:22.519
married his first wife in 1749. They had six kids.
100
00:06:22.540 --> 00:06:26.439
His wife died after 10 years. Married his second wife
101
00:06:26.500 --> 00:06:29.839
in 1764. They were together until Sam died in 1803
102
00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:32.579
at 81 years old. Now, they don't know if Samuel
103
00:06:32.620 --> 00:06:35.600
Adams actually brewed beer, but he really liked beer a lot,
104
00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:38.139
and he sold beer. But what Sam really did, he
105
00:06:38.180 --> 00:06:40.019
sold malt. He sold all the malt that was used
106
00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:42.810
to make beer. He actually had the nickname Samuel the Malter.
107
00:06:43.930 --> 00:06:45.970
Thomas Nast, he was born in Germany in 1840. Came
108
00:06:46.009 --> 00:06:48.550
to the United States when he was six. Became a
109
00:06:48.589 --> 00:06:51.089
political cartoonist. He's the one who created the elephant image
110
00:06:51.129 --> 00:06:54.360
for the Republican Party. Now, he gets credit for creating
111
00:06:54.379 --> 00:06:56.560
the donkey for the Democratic Party, but he actually just
112
00:06:56.579 --> 00:06:59.100
popularized that. He had the donkey for the Democratic Party.
113
00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:03.079
That was actually done by former President Andrew Jackson. Nasty's
114
00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:04.800
the one who came up with the popular image of
115
00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:07.779
Santa Claus that's pretty much still used worldwide. He also
116
00:07:07.819 --> 00:07:11.199
created Uncle Sam. Yep, used his own face. Nasty died
117
00:07:11.220 --> 00:07:15.199
from yellow fever in 1902 at 62 years old. Actor
118
00:07:15.220 --> 00:07:17.660
Wilford Brimley. He was born in Salt Lake City, Utah
119
00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:21.189
in 1934. Did Quaker Oats commercials for over 20 years
120
00:07:21.250 --> 00:07:23.579
and still had a big gut. Some of his movies
121
00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:28.110
were The China Syndrome, The Thing, Tender Mercies, The Natural,
122
00:07:28.290 --> 00:07:30.629
those cocoon movies. He was married to his first wife
123
00:07:30.769 --> 00:07:32.490
for 44 years. They had four sons, and then she
124
00:07:32.529 --> 00:07:35.230
died in 2000. He quickly married a second wife, and
125
00:07:35.250 --> 00:07:37.810
they were together until 2020 at 85 years old when
126
00:07:37.829 --> 00:08:01.160
he died from kidney failure. That was Randy Bachman playing
127
00:08:01.180 --> 00:08:04.189
for Bachman Turner Overdrive. He was our lead singer. Randy's 83.
128
00:08:04.189 --> 00:08:06.470
He's actually going out on tour to do some shows
129
00:08:06.529 --> 00:08:09.649
in November. He was born in Winnipeg, Canada in 1943.
130
00:08:09.649 --> 00:08:12.050
Randy helped form the band Guess Who back in 1965.
131
00:08:12.050 --> 00:08:16.930
Then he left in 1973, formed Bachman Turner Overdrive, or BTO.
132
00:08:17.569 --> 00:08:20.850
He started it with his brother and Fred Turner. Now,
133
00:08:20.889 --> 00:08:22.810
his brother Robbie, he actually passed away a year and
134
00:08:22.829 --> 00:08:25.360
a half ago, so it'll just be Randy and Fred
135
00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:27.240
after on tour. Well, they're going to have a backing band.
136
00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:29.379
But some of the hits you'll hear if you go
137
00:08:29.399 --> 00:08:31.750
see him is Let It Ride, Taking Care of Business,
138
00:08:31.850 --> 00:08:34.330
Ain't Seen Nothing Yet, Hey You. Yeah, it might be
139
00:08:34.350 --> 00:08:36.629
a fun show. Randy, he married his first wife for
140
00:08:36.629 --> 00:08:38.549
11 years and they had six kids. Then he married
141
00:08:38.570 --> 00:08:41.240
his second wife for 29 years and they had one child.
142
00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:44.940
Now he has 26 grandkids. So now you know why
143
00:08:44.960 --> 00:09:08.679
I went back out on tour. I want you. He
144
00:09:08.799 --> 00:09:11.019
might have been born Marvin a day, but he was
145
00:09:11.059 --> 00:09:15.679
worldwide famous simply as Meatloaf. Born in Dallas, Texas in 1947.
146

Sold over 100 million records. His first album, Bad Outta Hell,
147
00:09:19.059 --> 00:09:21.789
sold over 43 million. That makes it the sixth best-selling
148
00:09:21.870 --> 00:09:24.370
album of all time. Some of his big hits were
149
00:09:24.710 --> 00:09:26.529
You Take the Words Right Out of My Mouth, Two
150
00:09:26.590 --> 00:09:29.330
Out of Three Ain't Bad, Paradise, and The Dashboard Lights.
151
00:09:29.649 --> 00:09:31.669
He only had one number one song. Actually, it's the
152
00:09:31.730 --> 00:09:32.889
only song that he had that ever went in the
153
00:09:32.909 --> 00:09:35.070
top ten. I'd do anything for you, but I won't
154
00:09:35.090 --> 00:09:38.649
do that. He was in over 50 movies. rocky port

00:10:29.879 --> 00:10:32.419
show he put on was New Amsterdam. He had some
167
00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:35.129
success as a pop idol in the 1970s. He sang
168
00:10:35.169 --> 00:10:38.309
That's Rock and Roll, The Do-Run-Run, and Hey Deeny. He
169
00:10:38.350 --> 00:10:40.049
had a son and a daughter from his first wife,
170
00:10:40.129 --> 00:10:42.429
a daughter from his second wife, married his third wife
171
00:10:43.009 --> 00:10:44.850
in 2004, and they have two sons and two daughters.
172
00:10:45.429 --> 00:10:47.139
He was got to the rhythm that divides you, and
173
00:10:47.340 --> 00:10:47.919
it's me.
174
00:11:04.870 --> 00:11:07.370
Stephen Jenkins, he is the founder and lead singer for
175
00:11:07.429 --> 00:11:10.769
Third Eye Blind. He was born in Indio, California. He's
176
00:11:10.769 --> 00:11:14.330
62 today. Now, Third Eye Blind, it means metaphysical concept
177
00:11:14.370 --> 00:11:16.350
of a mind's third eye. Yeah, I thought it was
178
00:11:16.370 --> 00:11:20.299
something dirty, too. They starred in 1993. Now, Steven, he's
179
00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:22.740
the only original member still with the band. But they
180
00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:24.320
have a couple shows left on their current tour, if
181
00:11:24.340 --> 00:11:25.899
you want to see them. Not many. They're ending it
182
00:11:25.919 --> 00:11:29.159

183
00:11:29.200 --> 00:11:32.360
hits are Semi-Charm Live, Jumper, How's It Gonna Be, and
184
00:11:32.440 --> 00:11:36.080
Never Let You Go. Actress Gwyneth Paltrow is 54. She
185
00:11:36.100 --> 00:11:39.200

00:11:39.259 --> 00:11:41.919

00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:44.000
in the Fucker movies, Gwyneth, she won an Oscar in
188
00:11:44.019 --> 00:11:47.019

00:11:47.539 --> 00:11:50.799

00:11:53.139 --> 00:11:55.220

for 13 years. They had a son and daughter. She
193
00:11:57.159 --> 00:11:58.429
married a second husband in 2018. If I go crazy,
194
00:11:58.450 --> 00:12:01.669
then will you still call me Superman?
195
00:12:02.409 --> 00:12:06.990
If I'm alive and well, will you be.
196
00:12:07.690 --> 00:12:09.149
There holding my hand?
197
00:12:09.169 --> 00:12:12.370
I'll keep you by my.
198
00:12:12.320 --> 00:12:13.480
Side with my superhuman power.

in there. She's not touring, but if she was, I
229
00:14:29.730 --> 00:14:33.669
bet you'd hear the songs Complicated, Skater Boy, Don't Tell Me, Girlfriend.

Her second husband was Chad Kroger, the lead singer for

the band Nickelback. They stuck that marriage out for two years.
232
00:14:40.500 --> 00:14:43.370
All right, let's go back to matches. This one's kind
233
00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:46.809
of surprising. The cigarette lighter? Yeah, it was invented 10
234
