I love it 4 00:00:14.560 --> 00:00:18.320 when he says that he has a job over at 5 00:00:18.359 --> 00:00:22.800 traffic telling you about the highways and the byways if 6 00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:28.559 they've been compromised. And during the day he drives a 7 00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:32.560 tour bus through Boston and he lets people know that 8 00:00:33.159 --> 00:00:36.640 over there, that's where this happened. Way over there, that's 9 00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:44.079 where that happened. And he will take tips.

Whenever I 18 00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:11.319 have a holiday around a broadcast, I try to bring 19 00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:16.359 Jack on to add some historical flavor to the commentary. 20 00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:21.280 And tonight it's no different because we should have celebrated 21 00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:27.439 this day either two days ago or two weeks from now. 22 00:01:28.239 --> 00:01:31.959 And Jack, if you want to explain what I just 23 00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:35.879 said and why that is the case about either the 24 00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:39.159 second of July or a couple of weeks from now. 25 00:01:39.719 --> 00:01:44.200 To the people who are not up on their history. 26 00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:48.400 Well, yeah, the fourth of July being into oh hello, 27 00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:56.079 by the way, it's jack hi. The fourth of July 28 00:01:56.280 --> 00:01:59.200 being the fourth of July. You know, it's a little 29 00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:01.879 bit on the r but prairie side, you know. The 30 00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:05.480 they they they finished the the Committee of five there 31 00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:11.919 finished writing the Declaration of Independence on uh really the 32 00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:14.759 the like the thirtieth of June, the first, and then 33 00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:16.719 it went through a couple of days of editing and things, 34 00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:19.400 and it was trying to sort of finished on the second, 35 00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:23.159 and everybody agreed on it on the second. And but 36 00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:26.280 but I guess every you know it it in those days, 37 00:02:26.599 --> 00:02:29.479 people were moving around on very slow vehicles, and there 38 00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:31.080 were there were no cell phones. 39 00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:32.919 There was you know, there were no. 40 00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:35.719 They didn't even have fax machines. I don't even have facts. 41 00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:36.800 Can you imagine that? You know? 42 00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:40.520 So the uh and you know, and broadcasting was standing 43 00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:46.039 on a roof and yelling, you know they and uh 44 00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:49.719 so so you know so it so it was it's 45 00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:52.240 the whole thing. Everybody agreed on the thing. Actually on 46 00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:56.000 July second. And in the reality of life, it's it's 47 00:02:56.039 --> 00:03:01.439 really even into September that all the signatures were were achieved. 48 00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:05.520 But everybody agree, everybody agreed on it. Within the everybody 49 00:03:05.719 --> 00:03:08.319 was pretty much in accordance with it, all fifty six 50 00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:11.319 signers within within the within the couple. 51 00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:13.840 Of weeks time. But you know, we pick a day. 52 00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:17.240 It's just like we talk about evacuation Day that on 53 00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:20.520 March seventeenth, the British, you know, left Boston. They left 54 00:03:20.520 --> 00:03:22.560 Boston over the course of a week or so. You know, 55 00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:25.960 you know, it too that long to move that many bodies. 56 00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:28.159 It did take that long to move that many bodies. 57 00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:29.879 And you know, so inas much as the fourth of 58 00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:32.080 July being the fourth of July, it's it's like pick 59 00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:35.000 a day, you know, it's you know, and so that's 60 00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:38.400 what we did. We picked July fourth, and it sounds nicer, 61 00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:41.879 I think, and on July fourth sounds nicer than July second, 62 00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:44.680 you know, happy July second, not as fun, you know, 63 00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:49.199 I agree, July fourth it's one syllable, July fourth, it's 64 00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:52.719 three syllables a July fourth. It's you know, and it's 65 00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:58.039 fourth is forward motion. Fourth is forward motion. So I 66 00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:00.599 think it all worked out for the best. May the 67 00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:05.960 fourth be with you. That's been there, I say it 68 00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:10.840 butchered since the Star Wars movie, exactly right, exactly right, 69 00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:14.360 so the uh so you know, at any rate, So 70 00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:17.240 that's why it's July fourth, and uh you know, let's 71 00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:20.319 you know, people talk about Christmas. If you know, if there, 72 00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:23.199 if there was actually an historical event that can actually 73 00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:26.480 be called Christmas, it was probably in August. But you know, 74 00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:30.000 sometimes it just works out better if you move things 75 00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:30.560 around a little. 76 00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:33.360 It's who does your pr That's exactly right. 77 00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:36.079 And you know they were doing as much pr and 78 00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:39.680 and and and story spinning, uh and so forth as 79 00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:42.639 as even modern day people. That was kind of Sam 80 00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:46.839 Adams's whole job was was sort of spinning, spinning a 81 00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:48.600 situation into something different. 82 00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:48.879 You know. 83 00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:51.879 And I've got a question since you brought it up. 84 00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:56.079 It's it's off topic, right. No one has ever answered 85 00:04:56.120 --> 00:04:59.759 this question to my satisfaction. Why the heck is part 86 00:04:59.800 --> 00:05:03.000 of his face on a Sam Adams label? 87 00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:09.319 The the the picture of Sam Adams on that label 88 00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:10.399 is a composite. 89 00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:11.839 I think of several people. 90 00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:13.000 It looks like Paul. 91 00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:15.439 It looks a little bit like Paul Revere, but not 92 00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:18.279 exactly like Paul Revere, you know. I mean, there's the picture, 93 00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:20.959 the most famous picture of Paul Revere is the one 94 00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:23.199 where he's holding the sort of pewter mugg and he 95 00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:26.160 looks a little bit like Bob Hope, you know, the 96 00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:29.560 and so that's you know. But but Sam Adams is 97 00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:34.160 a is a composite and because Sam himself sam himself, 98 00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:36.720 you know, there's there's the statue of Samuel Adams in 99 00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:41.079 front of Fanuel Hall and and it has him as 100 00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:44.879 this sort of tall, robust, you know figure. And so 101 00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:47.560 he was. He was a brilliant man, but he was 102 00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:51.360 completely in his head. And he was belonged to a 103 00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:57.600 sort of a uh a neo Puritanical group that was 104 00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:01.000 not as exclusionary as the earlier Puritans. But he was 105 00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:04.079 strictly by the Bible, had no decoration, it was not 106 00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:07.600 appearance was not important to him. So he was kind 107 00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:09.600 of short and stout and messy with kind of a 108 00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:10.600 big red face. 109 00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:13.000 He really was. He really was. 110 00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:15.720 When they were going down to the Continental Congress, you know, 111 00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:18.959 the second Continental Congress, to put all this together, uh, 112 00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:21.920 he and he and John Hancock were going down together. 113 00:06:21.959 --> 00:06:24.600 They were very good friends. And but but they were 114 00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:27.720 going to ride down in John's cat, which would have 115 00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:29.199 been very nice, and. 116 00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:30.439 Uh, and but. 117 00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:33.879 John kind of took a look at Sam one day, 118 00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:36.160 and and and then Sam gets a knock at the 119 00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:38.720 door a couple of days later, and a guy comes 120 00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:41.160 in starts measuring the dickens out of his body, and 121 00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:43.639 somebody else comes and starts measuring his head. Somebody else 122 00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:45.920 comes and starts measuring his feet, And a couple of 123 00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:49.519 days later, a steamer trunk shows up with a whole 124 00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:53.120 with several suits of clothing for Sam, because John didn't 125 00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:53.560 want to be. 126 00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:56.720 Seen in public with him the way that he otherwise dressed. 127 00:06:57.600 --> 00:07:01.959 Well, I've got we're focusing on the fourth of July, 128 00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:04.519 and I know it's a little late, but there's still 129 00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:08.000 two hours, well an hour and forty eight minutes left 130 00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:13.439 to call it today, the fourth of July.

And that's the way these 144 00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:12.279 two were. 145 00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:15.279 Yeah, well it was it was something similar to that, 146 00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:17.600 and I will tell the exact quote. 147 00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:20.519 Okay, well we will come back.

My guests between 161 00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:22.279 now and midnight will be Jack Hart Hi with an 162 00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:25.240 E at the end of his name, and Jack tell 163 00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:27.360 the story that we teased about, and then we'll take 164 00:09:27.399 --> 00:09:28.639 phone calls. The uh. 165 00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:32.559 Well, you talked about two presidents dying on the same day, 166 00:09:32.600 --> 00:09:36.679 the fiftieth anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, and it 167 00:09:36.799 --> 00:09:43.240 was John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. They had been you know, 168 00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:46.759 they had an interesting relationship over the course of time. 169 00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:49.679 They were they were very close friends in the days 170 00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:53.960 leading up to the declaration of Independence and kind of 171 00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:57.960 became rivals, and that became rivals once they became presidents. 172 00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:04.559 By the time they the election of eighteen hundred, they 173 00:10:04.559 --> 00:10:09.559 had been well. They differed in philosophy as to whether 174 00:10:10.159 --> 00:10:13.799 John Adams was very much for centralized government. He wanted 175 00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:18.600 a big sort of federal government, whereas Jefferson was more 176 00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:24.039 interested in sort of smaller state run government, you know, 177 00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:27.879 sort of decentralized power. So that was a big drift 178 00:10:27.960 --> 00:10:30.279 between them. But also I think they had a little 179 00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:32.840 bit of, you know, some ego stuff going on. Jefferson 180 00:10:32.960 --> 00:10:35.600 was a number of years younger, seven or eight years 181 00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:40.240 younger than Adams, but they had, you know, they had 182 00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:43.639 a basic rivalry in general. But then after they had 183 00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:45.919 both been president for a while and by the time 184 00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:49.519 they were both in their well by the time Jefferson 185 00:10:49.679 --> 00:10:55.480 was in his late sixties and maybe Adams was in 186 00:10:55.480 --> 00:11:00.519 his mid seventies or so, they finally made up again degree, 187 00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:02.799 you know, and I think they kept up a correspondence, 188 00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:05.759 but both were sick at the same time. 189 00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:07.200 They both knew each other was sick. 190 00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:11.840 And what it was was that and Jefferson had actually 191 00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:17.600 died earlier in the day and and his was his 192 00:11:17.720 --> 00:11:20.279 last words were, no doctor, I think that will be enough, 193 00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:22.720 you know, or you know, however he would have tone. 194 00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:26.120 So but of course there was no way to get 195 00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:29.559 word to John Adams by you know, quickly enough. So 196 00:11:29.720 --> 00:11:34.120 several hours later, and so Jefferson was about eighty three 197 00:11:34.279 --> 00:11:39.120 and Adams was just about ninety, I think, and he 198 00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:42.080 was dying. He and several hours later he actually died. 199 00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:46.799 What he said was Jefferson lives and thinking that his 200 00:11:47.759 --> 00:11:50.480 you know, sort of frenem me as he's been they've 201 00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:54.879 also been got a good word, were thinking that he 202 00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:58.440 would still at least carry on the memory of that time. 203 00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:00.559 There was some of the last of that era you know, 204 00:12:00.600 --> 00:12:03.200 of course by that time. So yeah, those are the 205 00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:07.200 two who Now, those are the two who they did 206 00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:08.919 die on the same day. And it's you know, not 207 00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:12.840 you know, it's it's interesting because in many instances, like 208 00:12:12.919 --> 00:12:15.720 for instance, in South Boston and the old one, when 209 00:12:15.759 --> 00:12:18.799 South Boston was still largely an Irish neighborhood and things, 210 00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:22.799 oftentimes there would be a spike in deaths after, you know, 211 00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:26.240 a few days after Saint Patrick's Day or another community's 212 00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:29.399 different religious communities and things, a spike after one of 213 00:12:29.440 --> 00:12:33.440 the big holidays, after Easter or you know, you know, 214 00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:36.679 so it's it's almost as if perhaps they they clung 215 00:12:36.759 --> 00:12:40.039 on to, you know, just to get to that fiftieth 216 00:12:40.080 --> 00:12:43.559 anniversary mark and you know, and then finally kicked it. 217 00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:48.240 You know, Well now that we've I told people you're 218 00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:53.399 here for history. Yeah, and that's just one of many 219 00:12:54.039 --> 00:13:00.679 historical references that go through the July fourth holiday. Yeah, 220 00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:04.600 we here in America celebrate let me take the call. 221 00:13:04.759 --> 00:13:10.360 Who was the first to call from Groveland, Florence Lawrence, 222 00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:11.840 Hello Florence. 223 00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:18.120 Hello Florence, good evening, Happy fourth Morgan and Nancy, thank 224 00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:19.840 you and happy. 225 00:13:19.639 --> 00:13:23.879 For jacky fourth of July to Florence. 226 00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:30.440 Yeah. And since you're talking about history, I think I 227 00:13:30.679 --> 00:13:35.720 might have already told you I have on my father's 228 00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:42.120 side and this is back in the eighteen hundreds in 229 00:13:42.200 --> 00:13:47.679 my ancestry. Plus I heard about it in the family 230 00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:55.720 that we are related to Franklin Pierce, who was the 231 00:13:55.759 --> 00:14:00.279 fourteenth president. I mentioned it on Danbray so. 232 00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:02.320 Before. 233 00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:08.840 Yeah, and Dan had somebody call in that wanted to 234 00:14:08.879 --> 00:14:14.159 get in touch with me and was going to call back. 235 00:14:14.879 --> 00:14:18.840 And then the person didn't call back, and Dan let 236 00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:28.519 me know and he believed it might have been someone related. Okay, okay, 237 00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:37.000 And yeah, so something else I wanted to mention. You know, ships, 238 00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:42.679 the tall ships, the beautiful ships, that's what I love. Okay, 239 00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:49.279 I have a love for the old ships, sailing ships. 240 00:14:50.120 --> 00:15:00.320 And I was gonna say, and my ancestry, I have 241 00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:08.679 my great great grandfather, second great grandfather. I found out. 242 00:15:08.759 --> 00:15:12.919 I never knew why I loved the ships so much, 243 00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:20.519 but my second great grandfather was a sea captain from 244 00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:31.440 Nova Scotia, and and that kind of blooming away because 245 00:15:31.559 --> 00:15:35.399 I said to the person doing you know, reading my 246 00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:42.159 ancestry infro to me, wow, you know, evidently that might 247 00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:47.279 be where my love of the ships came from. You know, yeah, 248 00:15:47.360 --> 00:15:53.960 it's the possibility. Yeah, I wanted to see what you 249 00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:55.559 thought of that, Jack. 250 00:15:57.200 --> 00:16:00.240 I think that's entirely I think that's entirely possible. I 251 00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:02.799 think that we you know, we we are influenced by 252 00:16:02.879 --> 00:16:05.080 the things that have come down to us, you know. 253 00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:12.399 Through history, well, the family, the genes in our family, 254 00:16:13.200 --> 00:16:18.799 you know, yeah, yeah, And have you live checked that 255 00:16:19.039 --> 00:16:22.840 out yourself? Check history? 256 00:16:22.960 --> 00:16:23.440 I have not. 257 00:16:23.720 --> 00:16:26.840 I have not checked out too deeply. One of my brothers, 258 00:16:27.559 --> 00:16:30.279 my brother, my only brother. I have the four sisters 259 00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:32.440 and a brother. But so my brother has done a 260 00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:34.440 little bit of checking on it, and a couple of 261 00:16:34.519 --> 00:16:38.679 cousins have over the course of time. And you know, mostly, 262 00:16:38.919 --> 00:16:41.039 you know, most of my relatives coming over here were 263 00:16:41.080 --> 00:16:44.399 you know, scallow wags, uh and so forth, you know, 264 00:16:44.519 --> 00:16:47.279 coming in. So you know, that's I guess that's why 265 00:16:47.480 --> 00:16:49.200 that's that's what happened to me. 266 00:16:50.240 --> 00:16:55.080 But you know, so did any Yeah, did any come 267 00:16:55.200 --> 00:16:57.399 from what?

Were not exactly sure why, 274 00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:17.359 but I ended up in Prince Edwin Island and my 275 00:17:17.720 --> 00:17:22.039 grandmother grew up, as you know, growing potatoes up in Pei. 276 00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:22.720 And came in. 277 00:17:24.480 --> 00:17:31.519 Yeah, because it's fabulous when you go checking and you're 278 00:17:31.599 --> 00:17:40.960 astonished by what you find out, it's amazing, just amazing, imagine.
