WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.640 Welcome to What You Didn't Hear, the podcast 00:00:02.640 --> 00:00:05.259 where we dive into the overlooked stories that 00:00:05.259 --> 00:00:07.839 happened on the same days as history's biggest 00:00:07.839 --> 00:00:10.619 events. While the world was watching one headline, 00:00:10.919 --> 00:00:13.619 countless other stories quietly unfolded, some 00:00:13.619 --> 00:00:16.059 fascinating, some tragic, and some that changed 00:00:16.059 --> 00:00:19.239 lives in ways we've never heard about. In each 00:00:19.239 --> 00:00:21.399 episode, we'll take you beyond the front page 00:00:21.399 --> 00:00:24.100 and shine a light on the moments history forgot. 00:00:25.060 --> 00:00:28.079 Because every day holds more than one story, 00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:31.460 and it's time those voices were heard. Now join 00:00:31.460 --> 00:00:33.840 me and learn more about what you didn't hear 00:00:33.840 --> 00:01:02.909 on October 1st. October 1st is the day the Ford 00:01:02.909 --> 00:01:06.469 Model T first went on sale. The Model T was the 00:01:06.469 --> 00:01:09.209 first mass -produced automobile using a rolling 00:01:09.209 --> 00:01:11.650 assembly line, making it the first affordable 00:01:11.650 --> 00:01:14.390 car available to the middle class Americans in 00:01:14.390 --> 00:01:18.090 1908. Until 1914, the Model T could be purchased 00:01:18.090 --> 00:01:22.379 in gray, red, green, and blue. However, in 1914, 00:01:22.780 --> 00:01:25.980 Ford began to only produce the Model T in black 00:01:25.980 --> 00:01:28.540 to streamline production and keep costs low. 00:01:28.719 --> 00:01:31.640 But was Ford dropping this sick whip in 1908 00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:34.000 the only event that took place on the first day 00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:37.579 of October throughout history? Impossible. While 00:01:37.579 --> 00:01:39.859 the Ford's Model T's introduction to the streets 00:01:39.859 --> 00:01:41.879 of the United States is a significant event, 00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:44.620 there are many other events that we don't hear 00:01:44.620 --> 00:01:50.159 about on this very same day. In 331 BC, Alexander 00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:53.760 the Great... defeats darius the third of persia 00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:56.879 in the battle of gagamella the battle of gagamella 00:01:56.879 --> 00:01:59.019 is the second and final battle between the two 00:01:59.019 --> 00:02:01.980 kings and was the final blow to darius the third 00:02:01.980 --> 00:02:05.359 resulting in alexander's conquest of persia three 00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:07.540 different accounts are given of darius the third's 00:02:07.540 --> 00:02:09.900 attempts to negotiate peace terms with alexander 00:02:09.900 --> 00:02:13.069 the great the last of which would recognize Alexander 00:02:13.069 --> 00:02:16.710 the Great as a co -equal to Darius III, Alexander 00:02:16.710 --> 00:02:19.669 rejected all negotiation attempts. While fleeing 00:02:19.669 --> 00:02:21.789 to the east to attempt to build another army 00:02:21.789 --> 00:02:24.870 and face Alexander again in battle, King Darius 00:02:24.870 --> 00:02:27.650 III was murdered by one of his viceroys. Alexander 00:02:27.650 --> 00:02:30.330 hunted down this viceroy and had him executed. 00:02:30.810 --> 00:02:33.710 The majority of the remaining viceroys gave their 00:02:33.710 --> 00:02:35.909 loyalty to Alexander and were allowed to maintain 00:02:35.909 --> 00:02:39.770 their rank and titles. edgar i the peaceful is 00:02:39.770 --> 00:02:42.590 crowned king of all england in nine fifty nine 00:02:42.590 --> 00:02:45.569 leading up to his kingship england was fractured 00:02:45.569 --> 00:02:48.710 violent and volatile previously his brother ruled 00:02:48.710 --> 00:02:51.270 as king of england and implemented a host of 00:02:51.270 --> 00:02:54.710 divisive policies king edgar i made it his goal 00:02:54.710 --> 00:02:57.449 to reverse all these policies and repair england's 00:02:57.449 --> 00:03:00.610 relationship with the church gerard of rideford 00:03:00.610 --> 00:03:02.750 the grand master of the knights templar during 00:03:02.750 --> 00:03:05.250 the third crusade is killed at the siege of acre 00:03:05.250 --> 00:03:08.069 in eleven eighty nine gerard of rideford is believed 00:03:08.069 --> 00:03:11.729 to either be flemish or possibly of anglo -norman 00:03:11.729 --> 00:03:14.550 background and while it is unclear when he arrived 00:03:14.550 --> 00:03:17.310 in the kingdom of jerusalem he is in the charter 00:03:17.310 --> 00:03:20.319 record in the service of baldwin the fourth and 00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:23.060 held the rank of Marshal of the Kingdom.

Gerard of Ridefort had been captured 00:03:32.060 --> 00:03:35.139 by Saladin before in a previous battle, and negotiated 00:03:35.139 --> 00:03:38.460 his release successfully. Upon bringing the Templars 00:03:38.460 --> 00:03:41.099 to the Siege of Acre, he was captured by Saladin's 00:03:41.099 --> 00:03:45.240 forces again, and was beheaded. In 1529, Martin 00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:48.300 Luther and Holdrick Zwingli meet at the Marburg 00:03:48.300 --> 00:03:50.939 Colloquy to unite Protestants. While they reached 00:03:50.939 --> 00:03:54.599 agreement on 14 theological points, the 15th 00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:56.719 they could not come to agreeance on and the meeting 00:03:56.719 --> 00:03:59.000 was considered a failure. The 15th theological 00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:01.900 topic was whether or not Christ's true body and 00:04:01.900 --> 00:04:04.219 blood were physically present in the sacrament 00:04:04.219 --> 00:04:06.659 of the Lord's Supper. Luther maintained that 00:04:06.659 --> 00:04:09.439 the body was present in, with, and under the 00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:12.419 bread and wine. whereas holdrick viewed the supper 00:04:12.419 --> 00:04:15.740 as a spiritual memorial in fifteen sixty nine 00:04:15.740 --> 00:04:17.939 queen elizabeth has the duke of norfolk arrested 00:04:17.939 --> 00:04:22.519 for conspiring to marry mary queen of scots During 00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:24.379 the Eighty Years' War, in which the Netherlands 00:04:24.379 --> 00:04:27.399 were rebelling against Spanish rule, the Siege 00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:30.759 of Leiden ended on October 1st in 1574, when 00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:33.160 the Prince of Orange successfully had four dikes 00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:35.600 destroyed, flooding the countryside and severely 00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:38.839 damaging one of Leiden's walls. Some 20 ,000 00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:41.779 Spanish soldiers drowned in the floods, and as 00:04:41.779 --> 00:04:43.699 a result of this defeat, the Spanish treasury 00:04:43.699 --> 00:04:46.720 ran dry. The Spanish army could not be paid, 00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:49.459 and it mutinied and looted the city of Antwerp 00:04:49.459 --> 00:04:52.019 to collect their pay. The pillaging of Antwerp 00:04:52.019 --> 00:04:54.139 united the Netherlands in their rebellion against 00:04:54.139 --> 00:04:58.399 Spain. 1661 marks the beginning of the sport 00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:01.720 of yachting in England when King Charles II beats 00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:05.180 his brother James, Duke of York, in a yacht race 00:05:05.180 --> 00:05:07.879 from Greenwich to Gravesend.

On the same day, in 1928, 00:07:42.079 --> 00:07:45.220 the Flying Fin would run the 15K world record 00:07:45.220 --> 00:07:49.180 in 46 minutes and 49 seconds. Also, on October 00:07:49.180 --> 00:07:51.620 1st that same year, Los Angeles International 00:07:51.620 --> 00:07:55.600 Airport opens in the Westchester section of Los 00:07:55.600 --> 00:08:00.180 Angeles.

The F -86 00:08:26.220 --> 00:08:28.720 Sabre dominated the air over Korea during the 00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:31.459 Korean War and became a symbol of the Cold War. 00:08:32.139 --> 00:08:35.240 It was developed by North American Aviation using 00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:37.960 German aerodynamic research from World War II. 00:08:38.799 --> 00:08:41.440 It was the first jet fighter to have a swept 00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:44.460 wing design, putting the wings at a 35 degree 00:08:44.460 --> 00:08:47.899 angle and allowing for greater speed. The kill 00:08:47.899 --> 00:08:50.700 ratio for the Sabre against the MiG -15 during 00:08:50.700 --> 00:08:55.399 the Korean War was almost 10 to 1. In 1951, the 00:08:55.399 --> 00:08:58.879 24th Infantry Regiment, the last all -black US 00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:01.860 military unit, is deactivated. At the end of 00:09:01.860 --> 00:09:04.840 World War II, the 24th Infantry Regiment was 00:09:04.840 --> 00:09:07.019 assigned to the occupation of Japan until being 00:09:07.019 --> 00:09:10.139 reassigned to the Korean War. Their poor performance 00:09:10.139 --> 00:09:12.559 in the Korean War was subjected to heavy criticism 00:09:12.559 --> 00:09:15.799 after being hastily thrown into combat with little 00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:18.570 to no training for combat in Korea. Their regiment 00:09:18.570 --> 00:09:20.970 was disbanded and soldiers were reassigned to 00:09:20.970 --> 00:09:23.350 other units, marking the end of segregation in 00:09:23.350 --> 00:09:25.710 the U .S. Army following Harry Truman's Executive 00:09:25.710 --> 00:09:31.570 Order 9981. In 1962, James Meredith enrolls in 00:09:31.570 --> 00:09:33.970 the University of Mississippi, becoming its first 00:09:33.970 --> 00:09:36.730 black student. His arrival at the university 00:09:36.730 --> 00:09:39.450 was guarded by hundreds of federal troops after 00:09:39.450 --> 00:09:43.659 the Ole Miss Riot. On the same day in 1962, Johnny 00:09:43.659 --> 00:09:47.159 Carson hosts his first The Tonight Show on NBC. 00:09:47.600 --> 00:09:51.120 His guests included Joan Crawford and Mel Brooks. 00:09:51.940 --> 00:09:55.659 On October 1, 1967, Pink Floyd arrives in New 00:09:55.659 --> 00:09:58.100 York to begin their first tour in the U .S. following 00:09:58.100 --> 00:10:01.120 the release of their debut album, The Piper at 00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:03.340 the Gates of Dawn. At this point in time, Sid 00:10:03.340 --> 00:10:05.899 Barrett was still with the band. the following 00:10:05.899 --> 00:10:08.879 year in march of nineteen sixty eight sid barrett 00:10:08.879 --> 00:10:11.299 would part ways with pink floyd due to his declining 00:10:11.299 --> 00:10:15.000 mental health made worse by drug use he was replaced 00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:17.399 by david gilmore who joined the band in late 00:10:17.399 --> 00:10:20.179 december of nineteen sixty seven as a backup 00:10:20.179 --> 00:10:22.539 to the unreliable founder of the band in nineteen 00:10:22.539 --> 00:10:25.740 seventy five but not on October 1st, Pink Floyd 00:10:25.740 --> 00:10:28.299 would release the album Wish You Were Here, dedicated 00:10:28.299 --> 00:10:30.580 to the original guitarist following the release 00:10:30.580 --> 00:10:33.340 of Dark Side of the Moon. Fun fact, Dark Side 00:10:33.340 --> 00:10:35.299 of the Moon matches up quite well to The Wizard 00:10:35.299 --> 00:10:38.080 of Oz. It's commonly referred to as The Dark 00:10:38.080 --> 00:10:42.100 Side of the Rainbow. In 1968, George Romero's 00:10:42.100 --> 00:10:44.740 Night of the Living Dead premieres in Pennsylvania. 00:10:45.620 --> 00:10:47.779 Now we'll look into the origins of the phrase 00:10:47.779 --> 00:10:51.840 Barking Up the Wrong Tree. I'm sure all of us 00:10:51.840 --> 00:10:53.899 have heard this common English phrase, but where 00:10:53.899 --> 00:10:57.200 did it come from? When did it originate? This 00:10:57.200 --> 00:10:59.600 may seem self -explanatory, but it is credited 00:10:59.600 --> 00:11:02.200 to the early 19th century in the United States 00:11:02.200 --> 00:11:05.139 from the hunting practice of using hound dogs 00:11:05.139 --> 00:11:08.779 to track prey like raccoons. When the prey animal 00:11:08.779 --> 00:11:11.539 would escape to another tree, the hound dogs 00:11:11.539 --> 00:11:13.840 would often mistakenly continue barking at the 00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:16.179 first tree, leading hunters to find no animals 00:11:16.179 --> 00:11:19.070 there. Over the years, it became a commonplace 00:11:19.070 --> 00:11:21.870 phrase in American literature to describe somebody 00:11:21.870 --> 00:11:24.909 who was misguided or pursuing a mistaken course 00:11:24.909 --> 00:11:27.269 of action.
