Hi everyone, I am Jeff and welcome to history and

the seventeenth.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
In the hoods finding maple hang up a bucket on
the tent, drifting out looks like water slightly sweet. We
call it sound paple sir rub, maple sir rub, maple
sirup is a tree.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Today is National Maple Syrup Day. Native North Americans they
were eating the sap out of maple trees for as
long as they've been here pretty much. Then when the
Europeans arrived, they saw what they were doing, they kind
of perfected or improved a little bit. Yeah, they started
boiling off the excess water to make the maple syrup
that we live today. Now, if you want to make
maple syrup, you need to have maple trees and they
(00:57):
grow only in the colder climates. So that is why
Canada is the number one producer of maple syrup in
the world. Vermont, they're the biggest maple syrup producer in
the United States. So I to celebrate maple syrup today,
we need to put it on something. So break out
the French toast waffle pancakes, whatever you prefer and enjoy
that maple syrup now tapping a maple tree for its up. Yeah,
it doesn't do any damage to it does leave it
(01:18):
a little scar though. All right, this is going on
in entertainment nine December seventeenth, It's Back. Nineteen eighty seven.
Number one album was the Dirty Dancing Movie soundtrack. George
Michael had the number one song with faith.

Do You Still?
Speaker 4 (02:00):
I'm text, well, I guess what I'm masking?
Speaker 5 (02:12):
Do you steal?
Speaker 1 (02:16):
The number one book was The Tommy Knockers by Stephen King.
The top movie was Eddie Murphy Raw. A lot of
you younger listeners you probably don't realize just how big
Eddie Murphy was in the nineteen eighties. Now Raw, it
was just Eddie Murphy doing his stand up live and
they filmed it and then released it in theaters. It
is still the highest grossing stand up comedy concert movie
of all time. In nineteen eighty nine, it was no
(02:38):
longer just a skit on The Tracy Ullman Show. The
very first episode of The Simpsons debut. Now, as you know,
it's the longest running TV show and of all time.
All right, that's it. Happened on December the seventeenth in
thirteen ninety eight in what today is India, a Turk
named Tammer Lane. He captured and sacked the city of Delhi.
Now they thought it was going to be this big,
(02:59):
bloody bealley. But him and his men they loaded up
their camels with hey, then they lit them on fire
and they charged those camels at the city. Sultan's armored elephants,
all those armored elephants. They didn't like it. So when
the elephants took off, yeah, so did all the soldiers.
So it really wasn't that bloody of a battle back.
In fourteen seventy nine, around the Mexico City area, the
Aztecs they carved a twenty five ton stone calendar had
(03:21):
a fifty two year cycle. Then around fifteen twenty they
had to keep the calendar from falling into the Spanish hands.
They buried it. Then everybody forgot about it. So in
seventeen nineties some workers were repairing a cathedral and they
found it again. Yeah, you can go see it. It's
simply called the Aztec calendar. Stone, Yeah, kind of anti dramatic.
Seventeen ninety one, in New York City, they were trying
to figure out what to do with their massive traffic problems.
(03:43):
They had horses, horses and carriages, pedestrians, pedestrians pulling carts,
everyone going in every wist way direction, total chaos. So
they created the world's first one way streets. I mean,
intersections were still a bitch, but hey, it was better.
Eighteen sixty two, Union General your list, He's as Grant,
she'd Order number eleven. It expelled all Jews from his
military district that was Tennessee and Mississippi and Kentucky. He
(04:06):
said the Jews they were involved in black market trading
of the southern cotton well in Washington, d c. When
word got back there, the Jews, the press, Congress, and
most importantly President Abe Lincoln, they all went back crab crazy.
So Grant he revoked the order number eleven. He said
that it was written by a subordinate officer and he
hadn't read it before he signed it. Yeah, I'm sure
(04:27):
everybody believed him. In France, in nineteen hundred, they offered
one hundred thousand franc reward for anybody who could communicate
with extraterrestrials. That reward is still out there, so you
can if you can communicate with et yeah, you can
get one hundred thousand francs. But there is an exception.
Martians are excluded. Yeah, they thought Martians would be too
easy to communicate with. Nineteen oh three, in Kittioch, North Carolina,
(04:49):
Oorver and rober Wright, they set out to become the
first to fly a motorized aircraft. So I had ten
thirty five in the morning. Or of all, he flew
for twelve seconds, achieving the first controlled heavier than air
flight in his Now, before they started, they flipped a
coin to see you go first. Wilbur actually won, but
he stalled the plane three times, so Orfel was up
and he ain't made history. Now, they just didn't make
that one fight and then go home. They took turns
(05:11):
flying it all throughout the day. On the last flight
of the day, Wilbur he actually flew for fifty nine seconds. Now,
this sounds more lack of battle in that took place
in the Old Testament than it did in nineteen twenty
five today. In nineteen twenty five, Sultan Abdulaziz Bin sad
he conquered Jetta. Yeah, that was the last stronghold of
the hash Mites, and that's how the Saudi Arabia became
(05:32):
one country. Nineteen sixty five, in Houston, Texas, they wanted
to celebrate building the world's first dome stadium, the Houston
Astronom So they wanted to sell bear by throwing just
a huge concert. So it's today. The Supremes opened up
for Judy Garland in twenty fourteen and Sarasota Floida at

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
