We rewind to 1979 and trace the wild mix of culture, politics, and technology that shaped how we live now, from Walkman freedom and disco backlash to international crises, feminist art, and hard lessons in safety and law. We keep it candid, curious, and a little chaotic, because the year was too.

• TV nostalgia and the CB radio boom
• Early school shooting and the Monday quote
• Ayatollah’s return and the Iran hostage crisis
• Punk mythology, Sid Vicious, and costs of image
• Tracking Nazis and Mengele’s hidden death
• Women reporters and MLB locker room access
• Brothers’ no-hitters and sports lore
• Judy Chicago’s The Dinner Party and feminist art
• Three Mile Island and Carter’s technical leadership
• “May the Fourth,” Thatcher, and political language
• Milk-carton kids, Etan Patz, and national response
• Juneteenth in Texas and John Wayne’s legacy
• The Walkman’s launch and mixtape culture
• Disco Demolition Night and coded backlash
• Greensboro Klan violence and failed justice
• Shattered backboards, The Who tragedy, and safety
• Smallpox eradication and the power of vaccines

00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:01.360
We're recording.

00:00:01.840 --> 00:00:02.160
Okay.

00:00:02.640 --> 00:00:02.959
Hi.

00:00:03.759 --> 00:00:04.080
Hi.

00:00:06.480 --> 00:00:07.360
How are you?

00:00:07.599 --> 00:00:08.800
I'm just fine.

00:00:08.960 --> 00:00:09.439
How are you?

00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:10.400
My name's Ingrid.

00:00:10.560 --> 00:00:11.599
It's so nice to meet you.

00:00:11.839 --> 00:00:12.880
My name is Jessica.

00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:14.880
Are we talking to the people?

00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:16.079
It's nice to meet y'all.

00:00:16.399 --> 00:00:18.239
I was actually just talking to you.

00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:19.440
They knew me.

00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:20.079
Oh.

00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:23.280
You never answer the phone, so I don't know if you remember who I am.

00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:26.480
Okay.

00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:29.359
Well, anyway, welcome to another situation.

00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:30.320
Yes.

00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:32.159
We did it again.

00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:33.119
Yes.

00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:35.119
I think we're going to have to say that.

00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:38.799
Oh, and oops, I did it again.

00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:40.240
We're wearing something different.

00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:41.840
Do you have COVID still?

00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:43.119
I don't.

00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:44.240
Okay.

00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:45.520
I am.

00:00:45.679 --> 00:00:46.560
Hey, Mike.

00:00:46.799 --> 00:00:48.159
Look at my hoodie.

00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:54.000
Oh, because it's we're recording this.

00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:58.960
Oh, actually, and I think it's getting released still during Suicide Awareness Month.

00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:02.320
Okay.

00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:03.359
Topic.

00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:07.439
It's nice that we both decided to dress up.

00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:12.319
I didn't even put makeup on.

00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:19.040
If you are not watching, both of us have our greasy hair pulled up into Jessica's a nice bun.

00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:20.319
Mine's a messy bun.

00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:22.719
Uh mine is a nice bun.

00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:24.159
She's in a hoodie.

00:01:24.319 --> 00:01:24.799
Ooh.

00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:27.120
That's like a military bun.

00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:31.280
No, I would never wear it on the top of my head.

00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:32.799
Back here.

00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:35.760
Mine's not pretty.

00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:40.079
And Jessica's in a hoodie, and I'm in a zip-up hoodie.

00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:43.120
We're so dressy.

00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:44.239
Okay.

00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:47.040
I'm sorry, I had to mute myself.

00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:48.239
I was uh burping.

00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:54.959
What's the point of muting yourself if you're going to announce it anyway?

00:01:55.519 --> 00:01:57.359
So people don't have to hear the burp?

00:01:57.519 --> 00:01:58.239
Oh, that's true.

00:01:58.480 --> 00:01:59.680
I just had Chick-fil-A.

00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:00.319
I'm starving.

00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:02.239
Chick-fil-A breakfast.

00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:06.159
Do we get any?

00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:09.280
Do we pay royalties or do we get some money for it?

00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:11.919
Well, you probably have to pay royalties for that.

00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:12.800
Okay.

00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:14.240
You get started.

00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:16.800
I'm sorry, my nose is running too.

00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:17.520
Good grief.

00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:18.159
All right.

00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:19.199
Quotes.

00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:21.759
May the fourth be with you.

00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:24.879
Reach out and touch someone.

00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:29.280
America can't do a damn thing against us.

00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:33.759
And um I just don't like Mondays.

00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:36.960
I did this because it's a way to cheer up the day.

00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:38.800
Nobody likes Mondays.

00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:41.439
I don't like Mondays.

00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:46.000
Yeah, but I like the quote, but I don't like the person that said the quote.

00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:46.479
Oh.

00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:47.759
Who said that?

00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:49.120
You'll find out.

00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:54.319
Uh so the reach out and touch someone, that was actually ATT's slogan.

00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:56.240
I remember that.

00:02:56.639 --> 00:03:01.280
Yeah, it was coined in the year 1979.

00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:03.439
So really that old?

00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:05.759
What do you mean that old?

00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:12.479
Well, I mean I re I remember it, and I wouldn't remember it from 1979.

00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:14.400
Well, it must have been around for a while.

00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:19.840
And the guy that wrote the slogan, he was also the guy, or he didn't write it, but he produced it, whatever.

00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:20.639
Created.

00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:24.639
He also did the be all you can be for the army in 1986.

00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:25.680
Oh, okay.

00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:27.280
Yeah, isn't that interesting?

00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:28.800
Very interesting.

00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:31.439
So I'm covering the year 1979.

00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:33.039
It is a great year.

00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:34.400
It's a great year.

00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:35.039
Okay.

00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:45.759
I did not do the creative thing that Ingra did because uh my memories of 1979 are pretty small, non-existent, actually.

00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:51.680
And so I'm just gonna go on the things I found interesting that happened in 1979.

00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:53.520
Because it's all about you.

00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:55.199
It's all about me.

00:03:56.800 --> 00:03:58.960
January, I don't know.

00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:04.000
January, you done?

00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:04.879
Okay.

00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:07.840
January 26, 1979.

00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:11.280
The Dukes of Hazards starts.

00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:15.680
Oh my gosh, you should have given a warning to move away from speakers.

00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:17.519
Oh my bad.

00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:21.040
So um just a good old boy.

00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:30.160
Those of you that don't know, they also had a CB radio in the General Lee, and they were their calls signs were Lost Sheep One and Lost Sheep number two.

00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:31.040
I didn't know that.

00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:32.480
That's why I included it.

00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:34.399
I don't remember that part at all.

00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:44.800
However, uh Smoky and the Bandit and the Dukes the Hazard helped promote the CB craze that swept America um from the 70s to the 80s.

00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:45.920
Do you remember?

00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:47.600
So we had a Czech Vince.

00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:48.079
Yes.

00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:54.879
And oh gosh, you guys, we had a full-size van when we were kids because there's two of us.

00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:58.879
Why was there a full did they have many vans back then?

00:04:59.120 --> 00:04:59.759
I don't think so.

00:04:59.839 --> 00:05:01.040
It was for sporting events.

00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:02.240
That's what they said.

00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:05.759
Because because we were so because I was so athletic.

00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:14.480
And there was okay, so there's a C V and a little TV in this giant van.

00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:17.439
And the truckers used to talk to us.

00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:24.480
I remember on the way to the roller rank, there was a trucker that pretended he he was like shooting alien noises over the CB.

00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:27.040
He's like, be careful, they're attacking you.

00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:28.959
And like it was hilarious.

00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:31.199
It was me and my friends were so entertained by it.

00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:32.959
Is that a real memory?

00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:34.720
Yes.

00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:36.560
I don't know that I don't remember that.

00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:38.079
I probably wasn't with you.

00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:39.519
You weren't with it.

00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:42.160
Was dad and me and my friends on the way to the roller ring.

00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:44.879
Are you sure it wasn't dad doing it somehow?

00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:51.439
Yes, because we were talking to the guy on the CB and we watched Rudolph on the little TV on the way there, too.

00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:53.360
Oh, I had the worst reception though.

00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:53.920
Remember?

00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:55.519
Well, how what did we watch?

00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:57.360
Like, how did we watch stuff?

00:05:57.680 --> 00:05:59.519
I think it had an antenna.

00:05:59.920 --> 00:06:05.519
Oh, so we got to watch like two seconds of anything.

00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:06.240
Yeah.

00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:06.800
Okay.

00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:07.279
All right.

00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:09.279
So that was on January 26th.

00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:11.920
On January 29th, all right.

00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:16.000
This is where I got the quote from the Monday quote.

00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:17.040
Brenda Spencer.

00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:17.519
I'm so sorry.

00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:18.879
I don't know why I included this.

00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:25.759
Brenda Spencer kills two men and wounds nine children as they enter the Grover Cleveland Elementary School in San Diego.

00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:32.160
She was 16 years old and her house was across the street from the school, and she just shot people.

00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:39.199
And when they asked why she did it, allegedly she said, I just don't like Mondays.

00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:41.360
I did this because it's a way to cheer up the day.

00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:42.959
Nobody likes Mondays.

00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:46.560
And they actually made a song, The Boomtown Rats.

00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:48.160
I'm not aware of them.

00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:51.439
Um, they created a song, I don't like Mondays.

00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:57.199
I never knew that there was school shootings back then.

00:06:57.600 --> 00:06:58.399
Uh same.

00:06:58.560 --> 00:06:59.920
That's actually why I included it.

00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:00.720
I didn't know it either.

00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:03.839
Well, now I'm curious when the first one ever was.

00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:06.959
She was 16, a 16-year-old.

00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:16.560
And I mean, she had a history of um, I think substance use and mental health, which doesn't not everyone that has mental health issues and substance use issues does that.

00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:19.600
So obviously there's more going on, but yeah.

00:07:22.079 --> 00:07:31.439
All right, February 1st, 1979, the Isla Ayatollah returned to Iran after 15 years of exile.

00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:37.519
So I I had to do a little research because the only reason I know the Ayatollah is from the song.

00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:39.759
We didn't light the fire.

00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:40.240
Yeah.

00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:43.279
I was just about to sing that that verse.

00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:55.920
And I I mean this history happened when before I was even born, but I should I know details, like little bits of it, just enough to not know what I'm talking about.

00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:57.680
So I alright.

00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:04.639
So I uh looked into this, and this is what caused that Iranian hostage crisis, also in 1979.

00:08:04.800 --> 00:08:06.160
Yeah, mind blown.

00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:06.800
Okay.

00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:14.720
The so he returns, Ayatollah um Komini, I think is his last name, returns after exile 15 years.

00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:21.120
The Shah was in charge, and him and his family fled two weeks prior to February 1st.

00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:30.560
And the Iranian revolutionaries wanted to create a fundamentalist exam is Islamic government.

00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:32.720
Under the it's a tough word.

00:08:32.799 --> 00:08:33.840
That's okay.

00:08:34.720 --> 00:08:36.480
Under the Ayatollah.

00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:39.519
So they were super excited that he came back.

00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:43.039
So when he came back, um, he was running things.

00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:45.440
He was actually not a very good person.

00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:48.159
I'm gonna talk about some of the stuff that he did in a second.

00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:52.399
But so on November 4th, 1979, so he came back in February.

00:08:52.480 --> 00:09:00.240
This is what, nine months later, on the 15th anniversary of his exile, students of the revolution stormed the U.S.

00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:03.919
Ember embassy in Tehran and took the staff hostage.

00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:09.519
Um, they uh they took 90 hostages.

00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:17.200
Uh they were enraged that the Shah who had escaped, um, who didn't want the fundamentalist examic.

00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:20.559
Oh, there's that word again.

00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:22.399
It's making my mouth water.

00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:23.600
Why?

00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:25.279
I don't know.

00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:26.639
Islamic.

00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:28.000
It's not butter.

00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:31.600
Okay.

00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:35.200
Oh, I upset Reggie.

00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:36.000
You did.

00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:37.360
He doesn't like it that you're mocking me.

00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:38.960
He's salivating too.

00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:40.639
He probably is.

00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:46.480
Okay, so they were mad that the Shah was receiving medical care in the US.

00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:49.200
And so this was why they were retaliating.

00:09:49.840 --> 00:09:51.840
Okay, I lost my spot.

00:09:52.399 --> 00:10:01.679
Um, they threatened to murder the hostages um if anyone attempted a rescue of the hostages in the embassy.

00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:06.240
They released all female and minority Americans.

00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:13.840
And no, I think they just released all female and minorities.

00:10:14.080 --> 00:10:24.240
Um, and then they said that the remaining 52 were left at the mercy of the Ayatollah for the next 14 months.

00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:32.000
And they determined that um Ayotola wanted the Shah to return to Iran.

00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:43.279
Jim President Jimmy Carter was unable to resolve the crisis, and this is in the 90s, I'm sorry, or 80s, April 24th, 1980, he ordered a rescue mission in which eight U.S.

00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:47.039
military personnel were killed and no hostages were rescued.

00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:52.399
Three months later, the Shah died of cancer in Egypt, but the crisis still continued.

00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:59.279
And then in November 1980, um, is when Carter lost the election to President Reagan.

00:10:59.679 --> 00:11:06.080
And President Reagan, the day of his inauguration, he was able to um work out a deal.

00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:15.120
And the United States freed$3 billion in frozen Iranian assets and promised$5 billion more in financial aid.

00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:23.440
And then after that, the hostages, the same day after he was sworn in, the hostages were flown out of Iran and were sent home.

00:11:23.759 --> 00:11:26.000
444 days.

00:11:27.360 --> 00:11:35.279
Okay, so to tell you more about what the Ayatollah did in December of 79, the Iranian constitution was approved.

00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:40.399
Uh, he was their political and religious leader for life, the Ayatollah was.

00:11:40.639 --> 00:11:45.919
And under his rule, Iranian women were denied equal rights and required to wear a veil.

00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:51.120
Western culture was banned, and traditional Islamic law, I got it that time.

00:11:51.679 --> 00:11:55.440
And it's often brutal, brutal punishments were reinstated.

00:11:56.399 --> 00:11:58.879
And listen, you probably don't know the answer to this.

00:11:59.039 --> 00:12:00.639
But what was it before that?

00:12:00.879 --> 00:12:03.600
Like, did women not have to cover themselves?

00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:10.720
They didn't have to, they had equal, not well, 70s equal rights, and no, did not have to wear a veil.

00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:11.279
Okay.

00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:13.279
I'm I'm making that assumption.

00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:13.759
Okay.

00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:16.399
I mean, that's what I would assume as well.

00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:17.120
Yeah.

00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:20.799
So the Ayatollah actually died on June 3rd, 89.

00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:24.559
Um, two million mourners attended his funeral.

00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:31.679
Uh gradually, democracy came back to Iran in the 1990s, and there was a free election in '97.

00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:34.399
I don't know the status of Iran right now, though.

00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:38.320
So okay, moving on.

00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:40.080
Okay, that was exciting.

00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:40.799
Right.

00:12:40.960 --> 00:12:45.039
So I knew there was a the Iranian hostage crisis.

00:12:45.759 --> 00:12:56.799
I always, I think I always mixed that up with what happened at the Olympics when they was something they like held hostages, Olympians, right?

00:12:57.120 --> 00:12:59.519
Well, that was a lot later though, wasn't it?

00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:01.759
Yeah, but I always confused the two.

00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:03.919
But so now I have it, I know.

00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:05.519
Iranian hostage crisis.

00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:07.759
I don't think I confused the two.

00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:11.200
I just never, I don't think I ever gave it very much thought.

00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:16.000
I just knew there was a thing, and I never tried to place it in my mind in history.

00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:17.519
Yeah.

00:13:17.840 --> 00:13:21.840
Okay, so this part, um, do you know who the sex pistols are?

00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:23.440
Duh.

00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:24.320
Okay.

00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:30.879
Sid Vicious on February 2nd, 1979, actually died of an overdose.

00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:36.399
So the thing about Sid Vicious, he had the look of the punk rocker, but he couldn't really perform.

00:13:36.639 --> 00:13:44.320
So there were times that they would unplug his equipment so they couldn't tell that he wasn't playing.

00:13:44.559 --> 00:13:47.440
Because, but they just wanted his look so bad.

00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:56.159
Like he said that he used to walk around London with a swastika on his chest, a padlock keychain around his neck, and a gigantic chip on his shoulder.

00:13:56.399 --> 00:13:58.320
A swastika, really?

00:13:58.480 --> 00:13:58.799
Yeah.

00:13:59.039 --> 00:14:00.159
I don't remember that.

00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:02.240
I don't remember that either.

00:14:02.639 --> 00:14:08.720
So uh Sid met Nancy Spongeon when they were on a tour and they both fell madly in love.

00:14:08.879 --> 00:14:12.000
They also started a really bad heroin addiction.

00:14:12.320 --> 00:14:17.759
And Nancy was stabbed in 78 in their hotel room.

00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:20.000
Yes, I didn't know any of this.

00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:28.799
Sid was arrested and later released on bail, but then he went back to jail because he beat some man with a beer bottle.

00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:30.399
So, yes.

00:14:30.639 --> 00:14:31.840
So he made bail.

00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:40.320
Um, oh, he spent two weeks at seven weeks at Rikers, and he made bail on February 1st, 1979.

00:14:40.480 --> 00:14:44.240
He went to a party that night and overdosed on heroin.

00:14:44.399 --> 00:14:50.720
The medical examiner estimated that he was using 80% pure grade heroin.

00:14:51.039 --> 00:14:56.000
So the day he got out, the day he got out of Rikers, he went to a party.

00:14:56.240 --> 00:15:02.159
See, prison does such a good job with rehabilitating people and changing their lives.

00:15:02.480 --> 00:15:03.679
Yes, yes.

00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:06.080
That's what we should do for everybody.

00:15:06.879 --> 00:15:08.080
And it's Rikers.

00:15:08.159 --> 00:15:10.960
Like I I just hear bad stuff about Rikers.

00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:16.480
So on oops, there's crumbs on my lap.

00:15:19.120 --> 00:15:23.519
Now I'm salivating crumbs, Chick-fil-A crumbs, yum.

00:15:25.840 --> 00:15:26.799
Oops.

00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:29.919
You're such a pig.

00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:34.240
You didn't you were watching me eat, you didn't see them fall.

00:15:34.480 --> 00:15:38.879
It's crumbs, and I'm in Tennessee.

00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:40.960
I'm in Tennessee.

00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:43.039
Oh, I didn't write the date.

00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:47.519
Um, the angel of death, the Nazi doctor, died in 1979.

00:15:47.679 --> 00:15:50.480
I didn't write the date, not soon enough.

00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:51.600
I agree.

00:15:51.759 --> 00:16:07.200
He died, so he they actually didn't find out he died until 1985 when they did autopsy because they were searching for him, and he was down in Brazil with another super cool Nazi, and they were hiding out, and then they I don't remember who they were, but they went down.

00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:10.879
Why is there so much Nazi stuff in this episode?

00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:13.519
Swastikas and Nazis.

00:16:13.759 --> 00:16:14.799
Well, this guy died.

00:16:14.879 --> 00:16:15.759
The angel of death died.

00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:21.759
He okay, so the angel of death, um, Joseph Menetili.

00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:24.399
I don't care if I mispronounced that.

00:16:24.960 --> 00:16:27.039
He was horrible.

00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:40.639
He would he supervised a selection of the Auschwitz prisoners by shouting either left or right, determining if they would go to labor or to immediate extermination.

00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:42.000
It was him.

00:16:42.639 --> 00:16:53.120
He also um ordered others to inject thousands of inmates with everything from gas to chloroform to study the chemical effects.

00:16:53.440 --> 00:16:58.639
And he plucked out the eyes of corpses to study eye pigmentation.

00:16:59.039 --> 00:17:02.320
Yeah, he's he's a horrible, horrible man.

00:17:02.720 --> 00:17:10.720
He didn't get arrested after the war because he was working as a farm stableman in Bavaria, and then he moved to South America.

00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:16.079
He was a citizen of Paraguay, and then he moved to Brazil where he met up with that other Nazi dude.

00:17:16.400 --> 00:17:23.519
Wait, so did he get arrested because they didn't know where he was, or because he's such a good guy being a farmer now?

00:17:24.079 --> 00:17:31.200
I think because he they must not have known where he was because he was working as a farmhand or whatever.

00:17:31.519 --> 00:17:35.680
So they heard um forensic examiners, that's that's who was looking for him.

00:17:35.839 --> 00:17:38.240
They heard a guy died um in 1985.

00:17:38.319 --> 00:17:46.960
They heard a guy died in 1979 from a stroke, and they used the dental records to find out that it was him that died.

00:17:47.519 --> 00:17:49.440
Later, Ma.

00:17:50.559 --> 00:17:52.319
Never come back again.

00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:56.559
This I found interesting, Major League Baseball.

00:17:56.799 --> 00:18:01.759
I do love my sports, March 9th, um 1979.

00:18:01.920 --> 00:18:08.799
26 Major League Baseball teams were ordered to let females into their locker rooms because Ms.

00:18:09.759 --> 00:18:19.279
Melissa Ludke filed lawsuit against the Major League Baseball for refusing access to the clubhouses at Yankee Stadium during the World Series.

00:18:20.240 --> 00:18:26.480
Wait, so then women got to go in the locker rooms for the interviews, yes.

00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:27.279
Reporters.

00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:28.240
Oh, reporters.

00:18:28.640 --> 00:18:29.680
Okay, did I not say that part?

00:18:30.880 --> 00:18:32.720
I was like, I I don't know.

00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:34.000
Okay.

00:18:34.799 --> 00:18:41.039
What is also cool is the judge who presided over the lawsuit was Constance Baker Motley.

00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:44.880
She was the first black woman appointed as a federal judge.

00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:47.680
Very cool, very, very cool.

00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:51.519
So, yes, it sounds like women get more equal rights.

00:18:51.599 --> 00:18:56.079
However, in 1990, there was a female, what's her name?

00:18:56.160 --> 00:18:57.920
Lisa Olson, said that.

00:18:58.240 --> 00:18:59.440
Can I ask a question?

00:18:59.759 --> 00:19:00.319
Sure.

00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:04.000
Um, so are men allowed in women's locker rooms?

00:19:05.119 --> 00:19:05.920
I don't know.

00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:07.759
I don't know.

00:19:07.839 --> 00:19:17.759
I I'm very all for equal rights, but I feel like it's not equal if like women can go into the men's locker rooms, but the men can't go into women's.

00:19:17.839 --> 00:19:22.319
But I don't think that's women's sports that should happen.

00:19:23.599 --> 00:19:29.519
I don't know if women's sports are um doing locker room interviews.

00:19:29.759 --> 00:19:30.640
Interviews, yeah.

00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:31.119
Okay.

00:19:31.279 --> 00:19:32.880
So okay, thanks.

00:19:35.440 --> 00:19:36.319
Anytime.

00:19:36.960 --> 00:19:44.240
So 1990, Lisa Olsen said that um New England Patriot players exposed themselves to her when she was trying to work.

00:19:44.640 --> 00:19:49.359
And after she said that, there was dozens of other reports.

00:19:49.680 --> 00:20:02.079
Um yeah, and then we also know about pictures of things getting sent to reporters and as I'm wearing my green bay jacket.

00:20:02.559 --> 00:20:05.200
Yeah, he was a jet then, it's fine.

00:20:05.359 --> 00:20:06.079
That's right.

00:20:06.559 --> 00:20:08.400
Doesn't happen when you're a packer.

00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:12.400
Uh I mean, did anyone think that that wasn't going to happen?

00:20:12.640 --> 00:20:18.480
I mean, I imagine honestly, that in the locker rooms the dudes are just walking around naked anyway.

00:20:19.440 --> 00:20:21.839
I don't I've never been in a men's locker room.

00:20:21.920 --> 00:20:22.799
I have no idea.

00:20:23.119 --> 00:20:23.920
Well, I know.

00:20:24.079 --> 00:20:27.119
I'm I have I've been in an empty men's locker room.

00:20:27.519 --> 00:20:34.319
So I just I just imagine that's I mean, they're always naked.

00:20:35.440 --> 00:20:39.920
Any chance a guy can be naked, I feel like they take it.

00:20:40.160 --> 00:20:44.160
So and then they do like the the circle dance.

00:20:44.799 --> 00:20:48.720
No, I was not gonna go there, but okay.

00:20:51.200 --> 00:20:54.640
Okay, this part I put in for you because I thought it was super cute.

00:20:54.880 --> 00:21:07.680
Um, and on April 7th, 1979, a year after his brother Bob pitched a no-hitter, Houston Astros pitcher Ken Forsch talked um did his first no-hitter.

00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:10.799
So his his brother did it and then he did it.

00:21:10.960 --> 00:21:12.240
Yeah, isn't that cute?

00:21:12.480 --> 00:21:13.119
Yes.

00:21:13.680 --> 00:21:16.160
Okay, here's I'm so sorry.

00:21:16.319 --> 00:21:22.559
No, it's he's trying to do the the little circle dance you were talking about, and he's hurting himself doing that.

00:21:23.680 --> 00:21:26.880
And he can barely walk right now, it's all stiff.

00:21:28.079 --> 00:21:30.000
This is something I also found interesting.

00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:35.759
So in March of 1979, there is uh an art piece called the Dinner Party.

00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:37.599
Are you aware of this?

00:21:38.240 --> 00:21:39.200
I am not.

00:21:39.440 --> 00:21:40.559
I was only two.

00:21:42.079 --> 00:21:44.559
This goes along with my feminist theme, I guess.

00:21:44.799 --> 00:21:48.960
Uh, it was opened at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.

00:21:49.359 --> 00:21:52.400
Oh, I didn't put her name.

00:21:52.559 --> 00:21:54.079
I didn't put the artist's name.

00:21:54.319 --> 00:21:55.680
Oh, I'm horrible.

00:21:55.920 --> 00:21:56.640
Oops.

00:21:56.799 --> 00:22:00.400
So it's probably in there somewhere, and you'll find it in like five minutes.

00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:02.240
Judy Chicago's.

00:22:02.799 --> 00:22:04.559
I knew it was in there.

00:22:05.200 --> 00:22:06.079
That's a crazy.

00:22:06.559 --> 00:22:07.759
This is typical of Jessica.

00:22:07.839 --> 00:22:08.799
Oh, I didn't put it in there.

00:22:08.880 --> 00:22:09.839
Oh, here it is.

00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:12.960
It didn't seem like that was her last name.

00:22:13.200 --> 00:22:16.480
Chicago, that's Judy Chicago's art.

00:22:16.720 --> 00:22:17.680
Yeah, okay.

00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:27.039
So the dinner party, it is uh 39 ceremonial plaque settings for real and mythological women from history, which is super cool.

00:22:27.279 --> 00:22:30.400
The place settings are above a massive triangle-shaped table.

00:22:30.480 --> 00:22:34.799
So it had her standing in front of it, and it was like this, and then the placemats went like that.

00:22:36.799 --> 00:22:43.519
Yeah, the floor of it uh was inscribed with the names of 998 real and mythical women.

00:22:43.599 --> 00:22:44.960
I already said that.

00:22:46.240 --> 00:23:03.359
And um overall, the artwork honors 1000 1038 women from Egyptian Queen Hassespa and Eleanor of Aquitaine, Emily Dickinson, Susan B.

00:23:03.519 --> 00:23:04.240
Anthony.

00:23:04.400 --> 00:23:15.759
Each place has uh an embroidered runner, so she actually put um it's not vulgar, but like women's body parts on it.

00:23:15.839 --> 00:23:17.440
Like I think I think it's vaginas.

00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:20.160
I think she put vaginas on it.

00:23:22.799 --> 00:23:29.359
It was everybody likes vaginas, and all men are naked.

00:23:30.400 --> 00:23:31.519
Oh dear.

00:23:31.920 --> 00:23:35.519
We're going to have to mark this episode as explicit.

00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:44.000
So a lot of people, especially in '79, they thought it was vulgar and they threatened to take ever.

00:23:44.240 --> 00:23:46.799
The hippies were all naked all the time.

00:23:47.279 --> 00:23:49.039
Everybody's naked.

00:23:56.720 --> 00:23:59.759
In Inchrid's world, everyone is.

00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:01.519
I mean, I w I was too.

00:24:01.599 --> 00:24:03.359
I probably was also naked.

00:24:03.680 --> 00:24:04.880
You probably were.

00:24:05.920 --> 00:24:14.160
Uh so there's a lot of criticism over it uh because of all uh the genitalia being that was vulgar.

00:24:14.480 --> 00:24:19.519
However, there are two exceptions to the non-vulgaress going on.

00:24:19.759 --> 00:24:26.480
Saca Joeia uh did not have any vulgarity, vulgar imagery.

00:24:26.640 --> 00:24:44.880
It's not vulgar, did not have any vaginas, and then um Sojourner Truth also did not have any genitalia if you'd like to if you would like to see it, it's at the Brooklyn Museum in New York City.

00:24:46.000 --> 00:24:54.160
Oh, on March 23rd, on March 23rd, I turned to 2007.

00:24:54.559 --> 00:24:57.440
They moved it to the they moved it to the Brooklyn Museum.

00:24:58.000 --> 00:25:02.799
Oh you gonna say I was not too.

00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:03.920
No, you were not.

00:25:04.160 --> 00:25:07.519
Twenty-two nineteen ninety-seven?

00:25:08.240 --> 00:25:09.759
No, nineteen ninety-seven?

00:25:10.720 --> 00:25:12.319
Stop saying ninety-seven.

00:25:14.960 --> 00:25:16.240
Two thousand and seven.

00:25:16.400 --> 00:25:17.759
Oh two thousand and seven.

00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:19.839
I was not twenty-two.

00:25:21.680 --> 00:25:24.160
Where did you get that number from?

00:25:25.519 --> 00:25:27.680
You weren't twenty-two either.

00:25:36.240 --> 00:25:38.400
It's like you don't even know me.

00:25:39.759 --> 00:25:41.920
It's like I don't even know math.

00:25:44.799 --> 00:25:46.000
Oh goodness.

00:25:46.799 --> 00:25:48.160
Did you have a question?

00:25:48.480 --> 00:25:50.559
Probably, but now it's gone.

00:25:50.880 --> 00:25:51.200
Okay.

00:25:51.920 --> 00:25:59.759
Uh the three mile, the three mile island nuclear tragedy also happened in 1977.

00:26:00.400 --> 00:26:11.519
The only people that were exposed to the radiation was the workers, like, and it caused mass panic because it was down the river or up the river, down the river.

00:26:11.839 --> 00:26:14.400
It was down by the river.

00:26:14.640 --> 00:26:16.160
It was by Hattiesburg.

00:26:16.319 --> 00:26:17.440
Was it Hattiesburg?

00:26:17.599 --> 00:26:19.279
I might be making stuff up.

00:26:20.000 --> 00:26:21.119
That's what we do.

00:26:21.599 --> 00:26:22.720
Harrisburg.

00:26:22.960 --> 00:26:28.400
It was near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and a hundred thousand people fled.

00:26:28.880 --> 00:26:30.640
But so I didn't know this.

00:26:30.880 --> 00:26:35.039
Jimmy Carter, he was a trained nuclear engineer.

00:26:35.680 --> 00:26:36.880
That dude.

00:26:37.279 --> 00:26:37.920
I know.

00:26:38.079 --> 00:26:42.720
So he went to the facility to go check it out, and he's like, No, I think it's okay.

00:26:42.960 --> 00:26:49.039
And there's a hydrogen bubble that they thought would pop, and they realized it's not gonna pop, and it slowly went down.

00:26:49.359 --> 00:26:50.000
Yeah.

00:26:50.640 --> 00:26:51.839
So he was right.

00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:54.559
He was okay, yeah.

00:26:55.599 --> 00:26:58.400
So the quote, May the fourth be with you.

00:26:58.640 --> 00:27:01.680
I was so excited to hear this started in 1979.

00:27:01.920 --> 00:27:08.079
Margaret Thatcher, it started in Britain, and I don't think it was related to Star Wars, but it was like then a first time it was used.

00:27:08.319 --> 00:27:09.519
Well, it should be.

00:27:10.160 --> 00:27:16.480
Well, I think it was eventually like the next time I I saw reference to Star Wars in like the 86, the 86s.

00:27:16.640 --> 00:27:18.960
I almost said that in 86.

00:27:19.519 --> 00:27:23.039
That's a team, but it is 76ers.

00:27:23.279 --> 00:27:30.000
Oh whoops.

00:27:31.759 --> 00:27:36.240
I love how you jumped right in and agreed with me, too.

00:27:36.640 --> 00:27:37.839
It took me a second.

00:27:38.000 --> 00:27:38.400
No, no, no.

00:27:38.480 --> 00:27:41.759
Yeah, the 86ers play out at Hattiesburg in Pennsylvania.

00:27:42.720 --> 00:27:44.319
When they were 22 years old.

00:27:45.759 --> 00:27:47.839
What's happening?

00:27:48.160 --> 00:27:49.359
Oh gosh.

00:27:49.920 --> 00:27:53.759
And Margaret Thatcher, she was the leader of the Conservative Party in Britain.

00:27:53.839 --> 00:27:59.759
She becomes Britain's first female prime minister on May 4th, 1979.

00:28:00.319 --> 00:28:01.839
So the Conservative Party.

00:28:02.880 --> 00:28:04.880
Margaret Thatcher on a cold day.

00:28:05.119 --> 00:28:09.839
Margaret Thatcher on a cold or Margaret Thatcher naked on a cold day.

00:28:10.000 --> 00:28:11.440
She's naked too.

00:28:11.680 --> 00:28:15.200
I'm like, that is your theme of this episode.

00:28:16.799 --> 00:28:28.480
But what was super cute is that the conservatives purchased a half-page advertisement of the London Evening News, and it said, Dear Maggie, may the fourth be with you, you're party workers.

00:28:28.960 --> 00:28:31.279
So isn't that cute?

00:28:31.759 --> 00:28:34.400
Why is he so upset with this episode?

00:28:34.720 --> 00:28:39.920
Because he can he can't hear very well, but when I laugh, he can hear that.

00:28:40.559 --> 00:28:42.720
Does he think you're being attacked?

00:28:43.039 --> 00:28:43.359
No.

00:28:44.319 --> 00:28:45.839
Is he laughing with you?

00:28:46.079 --> 00:28:48.160
No, he just hears a noise.

00:28:48.319 --> 00:28:53.440
And I think because he doesn't really hear noises often that he thinks he should bark at it.

00:28:54.000 --> 00:28:54.319
Okay.

00:28:56.160 --> 00:28:59.920
The milk carton, the kid milk cartons, the kids on milk cartons.

00:29:01.680 --> 00:29:02.720
What is that again?

00:29:03.839 --> 00:29:06.240
Is that exactly how he wrote it down?

00:29:06.559 --> 00:29:06.880
No.

00:29:09.519 --> 00:29:11.440
What did you actually write down?

00:29:12.000 --> 00:29:14.240
I wrote milk carton.

00:29:20.559 --> 00:29:22.319
My hands are sweating.

00:29:24.160 --> 00:29:26.480
At least it's not your feet this time.

00:29:27.599 --> 00:29:29.039
Why are they sweating?

00:29:32.799 --> 00:29:34.160
Oh my gosh.

00:29:36.400 --> 00:29:37.759
Hey, he can't even hear me.

00:29:38.640 --> 00:29:40.400
He can't hear me to tell him to stop.

00:29:40.480 --> 00:29:41.440
I'm sorry.

00:29:41.759 --> 00:29:44.079
Oh, wait, May 25th, 1979.

00:29:44.160 --> 00:29:50.960
The the little boy that started the Mel Carton eating pats, um, he disappeared on May 25th.

00:29:51.119 --> 00:29:54.640
And his killer was eventually found in 2017.

00:29:55.359 --> 00:29:59.839
But his he was the first non celebrity child that got national awareness.

00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:02.960
And then we have children on milk cartons now.

00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:08.240
I didn't think they cared about us missing until in the late 80s.

00:30:08.720 --> 00:30:10.960
Well, it's funny that you say that.

00:30:13.359 --> 00:30:19.440
Because it was in the early 80s that his face went on the milk cartons.

00:30:19.599 --> 00:30:21.119
So he disappeared in 79.

00:30:21.200 --> 00:30:21.839
I'm sorry.

00:30:22.079 --> 00:30:29.680
And uh President Reagan declared May 25th, the day that he disappeared, National Missing Children's Day in 1983.

00:30:29.920 --> 00:30:37.200
And then his disappearance also played a role in the founding of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

00:30:37.920 --> 00:30:38.559
Yeah.

00:30:43.359 --> 00:30:45.039
What are you doing?

00:30:45.519 --> 00:30:46.880
I swatted his tail.

00:30:46.960 --> 00:30:47.839
All right, I'm almost done.

00:30:47.920 --> 00:30:48.240
I'm sorry.

00:30:48.400 --> 00:30:50.319
I thought we were only in May.

00:30:52.160 --> 00:30:52.799
Yeah.

00:30:53.680 --> 00:30:55.039
Yeah, we're in June now.

00:30:56.400 --> 00:30:58.240
June 7th, 1979.

00:30:58.720 --> 00:31:05.759
Juneteenth is declared a holiday the state holiday in Texas.

00:31:06.319 --> 00:31:07.599
Back in 79.

00:31:08.720 --> 00:31:09.039
Okay.

00:31:09.680 --> 00:31:10.000
Yeah.

00:31:10.480 --> 00:31:13.440
John Wayne died on June 11th, 1979.

00:31:14.240 --> 00:31:15.839
Oh, grandma loved him.

00:31:16.079 --> 00:31:19.279
Do you know his original name was Marion Morrison?

00:31:19.599 --> 00:31:23.200
He was I did not how did he get John Wayne?

00:31:23.440 --> 00:31:24.960
Oh oops, nope.

00:31:25.599 --> 00:31:29.599
I don't so that somebody else.

00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:31.519
No, no, I don't know.

00:31:31.759 --> 00:31:35.039
I went to scroll in my a Target pop-up.

00:31:35.440 --> 00:31:36.480
It went to Target.

00:31:36.720 --> 00:31:37.440
Sorry.

00:31:39.359 --> 00:31:42.240
Oh, so he did his first acting jobs.

00:31:42.480 --> 00:31:51.200
Um, he was his name was Duke Morrison, though, and it was a childhood nickname from his pet favorite pet dog, Duke.

00:31:51.359 --> 00:31:53.039
Oh, is that why he's called the Duke?

00:31:53.279 --> 00:31:53.920
I think so.

00:31:54.160 --> 00:31:54.319
Okay.

00:31:54.880 --> 00:31:55.119
Yeah.

00:31:55.359 --> 00:31:56.640
That makes sense.

00:31:57.920 --> 00:31:59.680
I got really excited about this one.

00:31:59.839 --> 00:32:00.240
You did.

00:32:00.319 --> 00:32:01.599
I thought you were joking.

00:32:01.920 --> 00:32:02.240
No.

00:32:02.720 --> 00:32:06.799
July 1st, 1979, the start of The Walkman was created.

00:32:07.039 --> 00:32:11.039
So, like all the parts existed, but like they had they used them to record.

00:32:11.200 --> 00:32:15.279
Reporters use reporters used them to record stuff instead of just playback.

00:32:15.759 --> 00:32:20.880
So one of the Sony guys had to fly overseas all the time, and he wanted to listen to music.

00:32:20.960 --> 00:32:23.839
So he asked them to create, he asked his people to create something.

00:32:24.000 --> 00:32:26.079
So it was like this big box, it was huge.

00:32:26.160 --> 00:32:29.359
It was not what we know the Walkman as.

00:32:29.519 --> 00:32:30.480
And he loved it.

00:32:30.559 --> 00:32:31.279
The batteries died.

00:32:31.759 --> 00:32:34.880
People actually may not know what the Walkman is now.

00:32:35.119 --> 00:32:36.000
Oh, oh.

00:32:36.400 --> 00:32:45.440
So a Walkman, um, you put in a tape cassette, and you listen to whatever is on the cassette.

00:32:45.680 --> 00:32:46.720
Cassette tape.

00:32:47.039 --> 00:32:48.160
Cassette tape.

00:32:48.720 --> 00:32:50.640
Say set tape cassette.

00:32:53.359 --> 00:32:57.440
And a a cassette tape, if you don't know what that is, Google it.

00:33:00.400 --> 00:33:00.960
There we go.

00:33:01.279 --> 00:33:03.920
So it was it was giant and then they made it smaller.

00:33:04.000 --> 00:33:05.920
And he thought it was just gonna be amazing.

00:33:06.079 --> 00:33:10.880
So they made um they made a whole bunch of them, and they were selling them.

00:33:10.960 --> 00:33:20.400
This was in Japan, like it first got sold in Japan, and they were selling it for 30,000 yen, which was about$150 in 1979.

00:33:20.799 --> 00:33:22.240
Yes, for a Walkman.

00:33:22.559 --> 00:33:24.079
That's a lot of money.

00:33:24.400 --> 00:33:25.359
Exactly.

00:33:25.680 --> 00:33:34.880
Uh so they didn't, they weren't they only sold 3,000 um in like the first month or the by July.

00:33:35.440 --> 00:33:46.319
And so they gave they went on the streets and they gave people a chance to listen to the Walkman on the streets, and that's what started the oh my gosh, this is so cool.

00:33:46.640 --> 00:33:48.400
And that's history.

00:33:48.559 --> 00:33:55.200
And just think of that crappy quality music that was playing too, but it was probably just awesome.

00:33:55.359 --> 00:33:57.759
I mean, I thought it was awesome when I had a Walkman.

00:33:58.000 --> 00:33:59.519
Yes, absolutely.

00:33:59.680 --> 00:34:00.640
It was so cool.

00:34:00.799 --> 00:34:03.839
I had a Walkman, I think still in high school.

00:34:04.160 --> 00:34:09.199
I remember listening to mixed tapes on a bus somewhere.

00:34:09.519 --> 00:34:12.960
I made a mixed tape for my college roommates.

00:34:15.039 --> 00:34:18.239
I did you ever listen to Booty Mix 96?

00:34:21.119 --> 00:34:22.719
Boom, I got your boy.

00:34:23.199 --> 00:34:24.880
Okay, so all right, sorry.

00:34:25.039 --> 00:34:25.360
Okay.

00:34:25.920 --> 00:34:30.079
Uh the death of Disco also happened on May 2nd, 1979.

00:34:30.239 --> 00:34:31.760
I don't know how we went from June to May.

00:34:32.000 --> 00:34:33.599
It didn't last very long.

00:34:33.920 --> 00:34:38.239
So there was a DJ that lost his did he lose his job?

00:34:38.480 --> 00:34:44.079
He I think Disco overtook it and he moved to a different radio station, and he just was not a fan of Disco.

00:34:44.320 --> 00:34:50.480
So the Detroit Tigers were playing the Chicago White Sox and they decided to have a and the 86ers stadium.

00:34:51.039 --> 00:34:52.480
Of course it was.

00:34:54.000 --> 00:35:04.000
So they declared July 12th disco demolition, and they're just gonna put a bunch of disco records into a uh giant garbage thing.

00:35:04.239 --> 00:35:05.199
You know what they're called?

00:35:05.280 --> 00:35:07.199
The giant garbage things.

00:35:09.599 --> 00:35:12.239
I didn't know it was a dumpster, a dumpster.

00:35:12.320 --> 00:35:14.159
I actually have it written down.

00:35:18.880 --> 00:35:21.119
You shouted that into everyone's ears.

00:35:21.360 --> 00:35:22.000
I'm sorry.

00:35:22.239 --> 00:35:30.639
Okay, so they decided to sell the tickets for like 98 cents, and they expected maybe about 4,000 people.

00:35:31.360 --> 00:35:33.039
They expected 5,000.

00:35:33.280 --> 00:35:40.800
Um, but 40,000 people showed up, and the crowds like just went crazy.

00:35:40.960 --> 00:35:51.440
There was people um stormed the field, they're shimmying up the the foul line poles, they're tearing up the grass and lighting vinyl bonfires on the diamond.

00:35:51.599 --> 00:36:00.320
And then one of the things they didn't take into consideration is when they blew up the dumpster, the shrapnel from the records, boom, yeah.

00:36:00.639 --> 00:36:13.679
So they uh the game was canceled, it was too dangerous for it to play, and the Detroit Tigers were uh awarded a win by forfeit, but that was the death of disco.

00:36:14.320 --> 00:36:15.840
That's crazy.

00:36:16.320 --> 00:36:18.639
The Bee Gees survived, though.

00:36:18.880 --> 00:36:20.480
Of course.

00:36:20.800 --> 00:36:24.880
Um, there's also racial tension, of course, in the 70s.

00:36:24.960 --> 00:36:31.920
There was a Death of the Klan rally in Greensboro, North Carolina, where um Is there not Rachel Rachel?

00:36:32.239 --> 00:36:34.000
Racial tension now?

00:36:34.559 --> 00:36:36.000
There's always is.

00:36:36.400 --> 00:36:45.360
But these um the Ku Klux Klan killed uh they killed some of the demonstrators.

00:36:45.599 --> 00:36:45.920
Five.

00:36:46.000 --> 00:36:48.639
They killed five of the demonstrators and several were wounded.

00:36:48.880 --> 00:36:56.320
In 1980, the Klan and Nazi members, six of them, were put on trial for murder and rioting.

00:36:56.639 --> 00:37:06.159
Um they were acquitted on all charges because they fired on the demonstrators in self-defense.

00:37:07.199 --> 00:37:15.119
Yeah, because the demonstrators were kicking the cars of the Klu Klux Klan and Nazi members when they tried to drive through their demonstration.

00:37:15.679 --> 00:37:16.880
Yes, so that's cool.

00:37:17.360 --> 00:37:19.760
Kicking should be met with guns.

00:37:20.320 --> 00:37:21.199
Oh, of course.

00:37:21.360 --> 00:37:22.960
Kicking a car, shoot 'em.

00:37:23.199 --> 00:37:26.239
Why are Nazis back in this episode?

00:37:26.480 --> 00:37:27.679
I don't know.

00:37:32.320 --> 00:37:35.920
I have two more things, three more things, technically.

00:37:36.239 --> 00:37:38.239
Uh the NBA.

00:37:38.480 --> 00:37:44.800
So Daryl Dawkins broke the first NBA backboard on November 13th in 1979.

00:37:44.960 --> 00:37:46.000
I thought that was kind of cool.

00:37:46.320 --> 00:37:48.159
Shattering the glass backboard.

00:37:48.400 --> 00:37:50.000
Yeah, that was the first time.

00:37:50.320 --> 00:37:52.159
And then I remember hearing about this.

00:37:52.400 --> 00:38:03.840
I think there was a podcast on it, but in December 3rd, 1979, there was a WHO concert in Cincinnati, and it was called Festival Sleeting, where I think it's like almost like first come, first serve.

00:38:04.480 --> 00:38:07.039
And they wouldn't, the concert started at eight.

00:38:07.199 --> 00:38:08.480
They didn't open the doors.

00:38:08.559 --> 00:38:12.639
They opened one, like people were just piling up, and the police were there.

00:38:12.800 --> 00:38:17.199
There was no one from the no security from the arena, and the police saw what was happening.

00:38:17.280 --> 00:38:18.639
They're like, you need to open these doors.

00:38:18.719 --> 00:38:21.039
Like these people are going insane.

00:38:21.119 --> 00:38:22.960
Like you have to open these doors and let them in.

00:38:23.199 --> 00:38:26.159
And the venue people are like, No, we're not gonna do it.

00:38:26.480 --> 00:38:27.519
I know this story.

00:38:28.000 --> 00:38:28.639
Yes.

00:38:28.960 --> 00:38:33.599
And so by the time they did, like people rushed and trampled over others.

00:38:33.840 --> 00:38:42.079
Eleven, eleven were um concert girls were laying on the ground and they died from asphyxiation.

00:38:42.400 --> 00:38:43.519
I remember that story.

00:38:43.679 --> 00:38:43.920
Okay.

00:38:44.079 --> 00:38:46.400
Uh December 9th, 1979.

00:38:47.440 --> 00:38:51.039
Scientists declare smallpox has been eradicated.

00:38:51.920 --> 00:38:53.519
Vaccinations work.

00:38:53.760 --> 00:38:54.239
What?

00:38:55.440 --> 00:38:58.320
December 17th, 1979.

00:38:58.960 --> 00:39:05.199
A little half-white half-Filipina girl is born to a Filipina immigrant and a US sailor.

00:39:06.559 --> 00:39:07.119
The end.

00:39:07.599 --> 00:39:10.559
And the world will never be the same.

00:39:12.239 --> 00:39:13.119
In a good way.

00:39:13.280 --> 00:39:14.320
In a good way.

00:39:15.039 --> 00:39:16.719
I'm sorry, that was kind of long.

00:39:17.440 --> 00:39:19.519
There's a lot of interjections in there.

00:39:19.760 --> 00:39:24.239
Well, and there there was actually more stuff that I found interesting from that year, but I'm like, eh.

00:39:24.960 --> 00:39:25.280
Okay.

00:39:25.440 --> 00:39:26.880
No one else, no one else wants to know that.

00:39:27.280 --> 00:39:28.079
Let's do these.

00:39:28.559 --> 00:39:29.840
Are you going to start?

00:39:30.639 --> 00:39:31.199
Sure.

00:39:31.519 --> 00:39:32.480
Be vulgar.

00:39:32.719 --> 00:39:34.559
Be a vulgar piece of art.

00:39:36.639 --> 00:39:37.519
I don't know.

00:39:37.840 --> 00:39:38.159
Okay.

00:39:39.679 --> 00:39:42.000
Be with you May the 4th.

00:39:43.280 --> 00:39:43.519
Ah.

00:39:44.079 --> 00:39:46.239
I'm trying to make it sound-ish.

00:39:47.679 --> 00:39:48.480
Not bad.

00:39:48.719 --> 00:39:49.039
Okay.

00:39:50.880 --> 00:39:51.840
Oh, this one's easy.

00:39:52.000 --> 00:39:53.039
Don't be a Nazi.

00:39:53.920 --> 00:39:55.119
Don't be naked.

00:40:00.320 --> 00:40:01.599
See, it's my laugh.

00:40:01.679 --> 00:40:01.840
It is.

00:40:02.320 --> 00:40:03.519
No, I think it's naked.

00:40:03.599 --> 00:40:05.840
He barks every time we talk about naked.

00:40:06.159 --> 00:40:08.239
Maybe it's because I laugh every time you talk about naked.

00:40:09.199 --> 00:40:11.360
He's a little bit of a prude.

00:40:12.400 --> 00:40:13.039
You might be.

00:40:13.360 --> 00:40:14.000
Perhaps.

00:40:14.320 --> 00:40:14.639
Okay.

00:40:15.119 --> 00:40:18.320
Well, thank you, Jessica.

00:40:18.639 --> 00:40:20.239
For 1979.

00:40:20.800 --> 00:40:22.000
1979.

00:40:22.400 --> 00:40:23.280
Did I say that?

00:40:23.599 --> 00:40:23.840
Yep.

00:40:23.920 --> 00:40:25.920
I'm just repeating it for some reason.

00:40:29.039 --> 00:40:31.440
And thank everyone for listening.

00:40:31.599 --> 00:40:35.920
Hopefully you made it halfway through.

00:40:36.639 --> 00:40:38.480
And we'll see you in two weeks.

00:40:38.960 --> 00:40:39.599
Bye.

00:40:40.000 --> 00:40:40.480
