00:00:19.100 --> 00:00:22.320
Hi, everyone. I'm Jeff. Welcome to History and Facto is
2
00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:24.199
about today. Today's September the 9th.
3
00:00:24.940 --> 00:00:30.460
Wine's got its own list. And of all the beverages
4
00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:36.950
that I know, it's by far the priciest. But it's
5
00:00:37.060 --> 00:00:41.189
much more affordable and even more portable. So why is
6
00:00:41.350 --> 00:00:43.130
it that everyone knocks.
7
00:00:43.530 --> 00:00:48.140
Wine in a box? Today is International Box Wine Day.
8
00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:51.939
That means it's celebrated worldwide. Now, box wine, it started
9
00:00:52.020 --> 00:00:54.299
out only with cheap wine because of the cheap packaging.
10
00:00:54.820 --> 00:00:57.039
But box wine, it's come a long way. Now it's
11
00:00:57.079 --> 00:00:59.920
considered not only legit, but it's very popular with wine lovers.
12
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:03.700
The first box wine showed up in 1965. Then in 1967,
13
00:01:03.700 --> 00:01:06.079
that's when they put the little plastic cap on the
14
00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:09.769
wine box. Box wines, they have an expiration date. Yes,
15
00:01:09.870 --> 00:01:12.370
box wine is for drinking. Yep, it's not for aging.
16
00:01:12.989 --> 00:01:15.329
So whether you go with a cheap boxed wine or
17
00:01:15.349 --> 00:01:17.859
a premium boxed wine, just enjoy your wine out of
18
00:01:17.900 --> 00:01:20.780
a box today. Let's see what happened to entertainment on
19
00:01:20.819 --> 00:01:24.439
September 9th back in 1977. Number one album was Rumors
20
00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:27.049
by Fleetwood Mac. The Emotions had their number one song
21
00:01:27.060 --> 00:01:28.030
with Best of My Love.
22
00:01:28.609 --> 00:01:37.819
Demonstrating love and affection that you give so open. The
23
00:01:37.859 --> 00:01:41.719
way you make me feel about you, baby. Want the
24
00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:44.060
whole wide world to see.
25
00:01:44.379 --> 00:01:49.849
Whoa, whoa. You got the best of my love. Whoa, whoa.
26
00:01:50.629 --> 00:01:52.930
Crystal Gale had the number one country song with Don't
27
00:01:52.969 --> 00:01:59.200
It Make My Brown Eyes Blue. I'll be fine when
28
00:01:59.260 --> 00:02:20.550
you're gone. I'll just cry. Crystal has blue eyes. Their
29
00:02:20.590 --> 00:02:23.250
number one book was The Thorn Birds by Colin McAuliffe.
30
00:02:23.710 --> 00:02:26.129
The top movie was Star Wars. Yeah, the original one
31
00:02:26.150 --> 00:02:29.599
that started it all. You know all about that. All right,
32
00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:33.800
what happened on September the 9th? 1543, Mary Stuart. She
33
00:02:33.819 --> 00:02:35.939
was made the Queen of Scotland. Yeah, it was after
34
00:02:35.979 --> 00:02:38.080
her father had died. So she was married to the
35
00:02:38.099 --> 00:02:41.139
Queen of Scots. She was nine months old. Now, unofficially,
36
00:02:41.180 --> 00:02:44.379
she'd actually been queen since she was six days old. Now,
37
00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:46.620
the first 24 years of her reign, it went really
38
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:48.960
pretty good. But then it fell apart pretty hard, if
39
00:02:48.979 --> 00:02:53.199
you know anything about Scottish history. 1776, their Congress. They
40
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:55.919
officially named us the United States of America. We were
41
00:02:55.960 --> 00:02:57.680
no longer the United Colonies of America.
42
00:02:57.699 --> 00:03:00.819
Say it's your birthday.
43
00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:23.849
Happy birthday, California. Today in 1850, California became our 31st state.
44
00:03:24.449 --> 00:03:28.210
California in Spanish, it means hot furnace or mythical land.
45
00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:33.069
Spanish explorer Hernan Contes, he named California in the early 1500s.
46
00:03:33.419 --> 00:03:35.379
He named it for the top-selling book back in Spain
47
00:03:35.409 --> 00:03:37.949
at the time. It was all about this beautiful island
48
00:03:37.990 --> 00:03:41.229
paradise that was full of gold and precious stones. Now
49
00:03:41.270 --> 00:03:46.689
California's capital, Sacramento. Highest point is Mount Whitney at 14,505 feet.
50
00:03:46.789 --> 00:03:49.810
That's the highest point in the continental United States. California
51
00:03:49.849 --> 00:03:52.009
also has the lowest point in the continental United States.
52
00:03:52.030 --> 00:03:55.789
It's in Death Valley, 282 feet below sea level. It's
53
00:03:55.889 --> 00:03:59.710
actually called Badwater Basin. Now, they're only 130 miles apart.
54
00:03:59.810 --> 00:04:01.250
They actually have an endurance race where you can run
55
00:04:01.289 --> 00:04:03.060
from one if you want. Or you can just hike it.
56
00:04:03.090 --> 00:04:06.949
It takes about seven days. California state trees are redwood
57
00:04:06.969 --> 00:04:10.889
and sequoia. Land animal is a grizzly bear. Marine animal
58
00:04:10.949 --> 00:04:13.479
is a gray white or the gray whale. Bird is
59
00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:16.879
a California quail. Fish is a golden trout. Flower is
60
00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:20.860
a California poppy. Reptile is a desert tortoise. Insect is
61
00:04:20.939 --> 00:04:25.199
a dog-faced butterfly. California state sport, surfing. Now, there are
62
00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:27.240
way too many people who are born in California to
63
00:04:27.259 --> 00:04:29.610
even start listening. So to make it easy, just remember
64
00:04:29.629 --> 00:04:32.810
that basically any person who's really kind of weird and off,
65
00:04:32.829 --> 00:04:35.319
you know, yeah, they were probably born in California. Kind
66
00:04:35.379 --> 00:04:37.300
of sums up the Golden State then. Well, at least
67
00:04:37.339 --> 00:04:41.769
along the coast. Inside they get a little more, yeah. 1861,
68
00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:44.439
the Confederate Army, they commissioned a nurse. Her name was
69
00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:47.990
Sally Tompkins. They made her an army officer the whole time. Yep,
70
00:04:48.009 --> 00:04:49.550
she was the only woman who was ever an officer
71
00:04:49.569 --> 00:04:52.290
in the Confederate Army. A couple days ago, I told
72
00:04:52.329 --> 00:04:54.990
you about that French pilot who did the first loop-de-loop. Yeah,
73
00:04:55.029 --> 00:04:59.009
that's basically a barrel roll. Today in 1903, a Russian pilot,
74
00:04:59.449 --> 00:05:02.850
Peter Nesterov. Yeah, he was the first person to fly
75
00:05:02.870 --> 00:05:05.069
a loop. Well, when he landed his plane, he was
76
00:05:05.110 --> 00:05:08.319
arrested and put into jail for 10 years. Yeah, they
77
00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:13.079
got him for risking government property. That's kind of funny. 1947,
78
00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:15.439
Grace Hopper. She was a U.S. naval officer and a
79
00:05:15.459 --> 00:05:18.740
computer expert. She was able to diagnose and fix the
80
00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:21.399
first ever computer bug. See, what she did is she
81
00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:24.230
took out some tweezers and she removed a moth that
82
00:05:24.250 --> 00:05:27.379
had gotten into an electric relay inside the computer. Then
83
00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:29.220
she taped it to her logbook. Yeah, you can actually
84
00:05:29.259 --> 00:05:32.600
see it. Yeah, it's on display at the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C.
85
00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:38.269
But that is why the computer glitch is called a bug. 1957,
86
00:05:38.269 --> 00:05:41.490
United States President Eisenhower, he signed the Civil Rights Act
87
00:05:41.629 --> 00:05:44.850
of 1957. Now, it was the first civil rights bill
88
00:05:44.870 --> 00:05:48.310
that had been passed since Reconstruction after the Civil War. Now,
89
00:05:48.350 --> 00:05:51.379
it meant to show that the federal government supported racial equality.
90
00:05:52.019 --> 00:05:54.100
Pretty much all the Republican bill, though, the Democrats, they
91
00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:57.769
didn't support it and even tried to filibuster it. 1972
92
00:05:57.769 --> 00:06:00.389
in Kentucky. They found out that their mammoth caves and
93
00:06:00.430 --> 00:06:03.740
their flint caves, they're actually connected. Makes it the largest
94
00:06:03.769 --> 00:06:06.959
cave system in the world. 420 miles. Way to go, Kentucky.
95
00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:11.980
All right. Who was born on September the 9th?
96
00:06:26.129 --> 00:06:30.149
Author Leo Tolstoy. He was born in Russia in 1928.
97
00:06:30.149 --> 00:06:32.069
He is regarded as one of the greatest authors of
98
00:06:32.129 --> 00:06:34.970
all time. Well, let's let the literary snobs think that.
99
00:06:35.490 --> 00:06:39.889
But instead, don't go reading that really long and really
100
00:06:39.949 --> 00:06:42.170
boring book. See, I'll tell you all about it. All
101
00:06:42.189 --> 00:06:44.470
you need to know about War and Peace is that
102
00:06:44.509 --> 00:06:47.800
it takes place when Napoleon invaded Russia in 1812. And
103
00:06:47.810 --> 00:06:50.360
then this chick, Anna Kurniva, yeah, she has an affair
104
00:06:50.379 --> 00:06:52.319
with a Russian officer and they have to flee to Italy.
105
00:06:52.939 --> 00:06:54.459
That's all you need to know. Sums up 1,400 pages
106
00:06:54.500 --> 00:06:57.259
for you. Just make sure you ask the prize when
107
00:06:57.300 --> 00:07:00.680
they say that Tolstoy never won a Nobel Prize or
108
00:07:00.699 --> 00:07:03.879
anything like that. Yep, they'll think you paid attention in college. Tolstoy,
109
00:07:03.899 --> 00:07:05.850
he was married and had 13 kids. He died from
110
00:07:05.870 --> 00:07:10.029
pneumonia in 1910, 82 years old. Harlan Sanders is best
111
00:07:10.069 --> 00:07:12.750
known as Colonel Sanders. He was born in Henryville, Indiana
112
00:07:12.810 --> 00:07:15.870
in 1890. Now, Colonel is not a military rank. Nope,
113
00:07:15.889 --> 00:07:17.930
he got it from the governor of Kentucky as an
114
00:07:18.370 --> 00:07:22.470
award for civilian service. Colonel Sanders sounds cool, though. Now,
115
00:07:22.509 --> 00:07:24.170
it took him a long time to come up with
116
00:07:24.170 --> 00:07:26.939
11 secret herbs and spices. But see, what really set
117
00:07:26.980 --> 00:07:28.610
his chicken apart is that he would cook in a
118
00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:31.860
pressure cooker. Yeah, it normally took 35 minutes in order
119
00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:33.660
to fry a chicken. Yeah, you could do a little
120
00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:36.660
under half that for his true fast food. Now, the
121
00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:40.199
first Kentucky Fried Chicken franchise restaurant opened up in 1952,
122
00:07:40.180 --> 00:07:44.579
Salt Lake City, Utah. Now, that original building was destroyed
123
00:07:45.019 --> 00:07:47.259
in 2004, but they built the KFC right on the
124
00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:50.100
exact same spot. Before that, he would basically just give
125
00:07:50.139 --> 00:07:52.000
his 11 herbs and spices and then the people would
126
00:07:52.040 --> 00:07:53.720
use it to cook their own chicken. They paid him
127
00:07:53.740 --> 00:07:56.500
like five cents a chicken. The Colonel, he was married
128
00:07:56.519 --> 00:07:59.009
and he died from leukemia in 1980 at 90 years old.
129
00:08:00.490 --> 00:08:03.089
After Cliff Robertson, he was born in San Diego in 1923.
130
00:08:03.089 --> 00:08:06.689
In the movie PT-109, it's all about John F. Kennedy's
131
00:08:06.730 --> 00:08:09.850
heroics in the Pacific during World War II. Kennedy handpicked
132
00:08:09.889 --> 00:08:12.389
Robertson to play him. Cliff, he did win an Oscar
133
00:08:12.410 --> 00:08:14.750
for the movie Charlie. Then he played Uncle Ben in
134
00:08:14.769 --> 00:08:17.329
the first three Spider-Man movies. Most of his movies were
135
00:08:17.350 --> 00:08:19.500
pretty much war flicks. He had three daughters from his
136
00:08:19.540 --> 00:08:21.399
first wife. He had a daughter from his second wife.
137
00:08:21.620 --> 00:08:23.240
Cliff died of natural causes in 2011 at 88 years old.
138
00:08:46.580 --> 00:08:48.799
Otis Redding, he recorded Sittin' on the Dock of the
139
00:08:49.100 --> 00:08:52.279
Bay two days before he died. So obviously released after
140
00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:55.399
he died. It's the first posthumously released song that ever
141
00:08:55.419 --> 00:08:58.370
went up to number one. Otis, he was born in Dawson,
142
00:08:58.389 --> 00:09:01.509
Georgia in 1941. He quit school at 15 years old
143
00:09:01.529 --> 00:09:03.909
to help support his family. He was in Little Richard's
144
00:09:03.970 --> 00:09:06.730
backup band. He entered talent shows. He sang with any
145
00:09:06.809 --> 00:09:08.730
band who would pay him. Finally, he was able to
146
00:09:08.750 --> 00:09:12.870
release his first album in 1964. Some Otis' biggest hits
147
00:09:12.889 --> 00:09:16.169
are Try a Little Tenderness, These Arms Are Mine, I've
148
00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:19.159
been loving you too long, Mr. Pitiful. He married only
149
00:09:19.159 --> 00:09:21.200
19 years old. Him and his wife had four children.
150
00:09:21.259 --> 00:09:24.240
Then in 1967, Otis was going to do a concert
151
00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:27.259
at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. His plane crashed
152
00:09:27.299 --> 00:09:29.200
in bad weather outside of Madison. Yeah, it went into
153
00:09:29.240 --> 00:09:52.820
a leak. He was 26 years old. The lead singer
154
00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:56.230
and organist for Iron Butterfly was Doug Engle. He was
155
00:09:56.269 --> 00:09:59.110
born in Omaha, Nebraska in 1945. He helped form Iron
156
00:09:59.149 --> 00:10:02.820
Butterfly in 1970. Gata De Vida, that was pretty much
157
00:10:02.840 --> 00:10:05.720
their biggest hit. Now, Doug, when he wrote that song,
158
00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:07.440
he said he didn't mean for it to be 17
159
00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:11.470
minutes long. But it is. Well, except for the radio version. Now,
160
00:10:11.490 --> 00:10:15.210
they also had the hit Soul Experience, Easy Rider, In
161
00:10:15.230 --> 00:10:18.509
the Times of Our Lives. Broke up in 1971. After
162
00:10:18.529 --> 00:10:20.409
they broke up, Doug had to go back to painting houses.
163
00:10:20.490 --> 00:10:23.129
Did that for seven years. Got back into music. Ended
164
00:10:23.149 --> 00:10:26.049

00:10:30.009 --> 00:10:32.299
He was born in Hammersmith, England in 1960. Now, he
167
00:10:33.059 --> 00:10:34.919
was well-known over in Britain. He finally hit in the

00:10:34.940 --> 00:10:36.940
United States in the movie Four Weddings and a Funeral.
169
00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:40.779
Then Nine Months, the Bridget Jones movie. He's about a boy. Now,
170
00:10:40.799 --> 00:10:42.639
he really got famous when he got caught with a
171
00:10:42.659 --> 00:10:45.860
hooker while he was dating Elizabeth Hurley. But he manned up.

00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:48.480
He was the dude, man. He took ownership of it. Yeah,
173
00:10:48.539 --> 00:10:51.379
he didn't shrink it, shrug it off or nothing.

You know what?
175
00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:54.250
His career was bigger after that than before the scandal.
176
00:10:54.649 --> 00:10:57.289
Just shows that if you take responsibility for your actions, yeah,
177
00:10:57.330 --> 00:11:00.330
good things happen. Hugh, he had a daughter from a fling,
178
00:11:00.750 --> 00:11:02.169

then had a boy. Then Hugh married another woman, and
