Speaker 1 (00:49):
Green apples are actually a little healthier than red apples.
Red apples. They taste better though, now the old saying
an apple a day will keep the doctor away. It's
your elves. They're eye and fiber, magnesium, potassium, Vita McKay.
They have cholesterol learning benefits. So what have you do

nine December. First, let's back to nineteen ninety seven. Number

(01:11):

those in pain.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
Now you belong to heaven. Shania Twain had the number
one country song with Love Gets Me every Time.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
Have No One. Stagan single Wasn't Didn't leave a stead
of Man.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
I had it coming until I had discovered the.

Speaker 4 (02:06):
Tall Don Gunn.

Speaker 3 (02:07):
And did it.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
The number one book was The Ghost by Danielle Steele.
The top movie was Flubber. Now Robin Williams, He's an
absence signed to Professor. His fiancee is Marsha gay Harden.
Now Robin accidentally invents Flubber. So now Christopher McDonald, he
wants to steal Marsha and the secrets to Flubber. All right,
what happened on to some of the first eighteen forty
two Phillip Spencer, Now he was a spoiled rich brat.

(02:33):
His dad was the United States Secretary of War. So
to try and settle Philip down, they put him in
the Navy as an officer. They first put him on
the ship to North Carolina, so twice he got drunk
and assaulted another officer, so they transferred him over to
the John Adams. Then on Shortlean he got in a
big drunken brawl and beat up a British officer, So
then they transferred him over to the USS Summers. Now

(02:53):
they didn't tell that captain of the Summers. Yeah, they
didn't tell who his dad was. So then Philip and
two of his other sailors, of course, they got drunk,
and then they came up with a plan to take
over the Summers and sail it as a pirate ship. Well,
the captain found out about it had all three men hung.
So nineteen year old Spencer, Philip Spencer, became the first
United States Naval officer ever executed for mutiny and the last. Yeah,

(03:15):
it's the only mutiny in US naval history, was that one.
Nineteen thirteen, for the first time in world history, Ford
they began using a moving assembly line to make their
Model t cars. Now it reduced the time to make
one car from twelve hours to two and a half hours.
Over the next year and a half, they got it
down to about ninety three minutes for every Model TA.
So they wondered, how long does it take to make

(03:35):
a car today, Well, between seventeen and thirty one hours.
Also in nineteen thirteen in Pittsburgh, the first drive up
gas station opened up, I guess to service all those
Model tastes. Now it was specific to sell fuel and
other automobile products. Gas twenty seven cents a gallon, so
today that'd be six dollars and fifty cents a gallon.
So I want to win with gas the cheapest nineteen thirties, Yeah,

(03:57):
gasoline cost ten cents, well, little under ten cents of
Gallon nineteen forty one, Japan's Emperor Herihido he signed a
declaration of war on the United States. I didn't tell
the United States still after Pearl Harbor though, so one
year later to the day, in nineteen forty two, the
United States but gas and tire rationing into effect. Because
of the war Japan, they had taken over most of
the countries that produced rubber. So if you had more

(04:19):
than five tires in the United States government, they would
confiscate the extra tires. Then once you proved that you
only had five tires, then you can get a gas card. Now,
regular people, you can only get three gallons of gas
a week. Now, if you worked for the defense industry,
you can get eight gallons of gas. If you were
a trucker, a doctor, policeman, and clergy something essential workers, yeah,
you could drive all you wanted. Nineteen fifty three, the

Rosa Parks she was arrested for her not giving up

(05:02):
her seat on a public bus to a white passenger.
Rosa she was seated in the black section of the bus,
but the white section filled up, so Rosa and the
other black riders they were told to move farther back
on the bus. The other black riders actually did. Rosa
she didn't. She stayed were put. She said she's had enough.
Now that rest of Rosa. It led to the year
long Montgomery bus boycott. Now that boycott, it led to

(05:23):
the Supreme Court decision that ruled that bus segregation was unconstitutional.
Added Rosa get out of jail while civil rights leader
Eating Nixon and two of us white friends. Yeah, they
posted Roses one hundred dollars bail, about twelve hundred dollars
today in twenty sixteen, the UN or the United Nations,

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
