VHS tapes, or more realistically,
the holiday sections of our favorite streaming services
11
00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:51.880
and watching some classic seasonal movies.

good news for you. You could

keeping up this festive tradition. You

know. You don't just get this. You have to keep track of each
18
00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:19.200
movie and rank it across three categories
Nostalgia, heartwarming, storytelling and holiday cheer.

Good news if you've been staring at the
22
00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:34.920
cover of led Zeppelin four all these
years and you're like, who is that
23
00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:38.719
on the cover? Lot Long is
the name of the man. He was
24
00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:42.719
a roof Thatcher born in eighteen twenty
three and died a widower in eighteen ninety
25
00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:47.480
three, years after getting his picture
taken by the first head of the School
26
00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:52.040
of Photography at the University of Westminster. Brian Edwards is a researcher from the
27
00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:55.480
University of West England. He was
slipping through antique photo collections as part of
28
00:01:55.519 --> 00:01:57.959
a project and he came across a
photo of a bearded man stooping over the
29
00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:01.640
weight of a burden of sticks slung
over his back. Edwards told the BBC
30
00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:07.120
I instantly recognized the man with the
sticks. He's often called the stick Man.
31
00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:10.319
There's more part of former signature matches
some of the handwriting on the led
32
00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:14.639
Zeppelin four album. The black and
white photograph has a thumbprint in the corner.
33
00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:16.960
It looks like it's the original.
Apparently the selection of the photo for
34
00:02:17.159 --> 00:02:21.319
led Zeppelin four was part of a
scheme to deliberately play down the album,
35
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:23.240
with Robert Plant finding the image of
the stick Man in a shop and reading
36
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:29.159
compairing it to a scene of urban
decay without any words. Good news.
37
00:02:29.159 --> 00:02:32.400
If you get overloaded with noise and
lights and stuff, Walmart will lower the
38
00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:36.319
lights, turn off the radio,
and change their TV walls to a static
39
00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:40.680
image for daily Sensory Friendly hours.
Love It museums and other cultural institutions that
40
00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:45.960
cater to children spearheaded these special hours
more than a decade ago. Walmart said
41
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:49.960
the stores are making shopping more inclusive
for those with sensory disabilities by taking measures
42
00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:53.240
to create a less stimulating environment.
The Sensory Friendly hours and you're gonna have
43
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:57.560
to get up early eight to ten
am local time and all US and Puerto
44
00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:00.159
Rico stores there is no planned end
date. Good news for the owner of
45
00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:05.319
a bright red Ferrari well former owner
because they just sold it for fifty one
46
00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:09.080
point seven million dollars including buyer's fees. That's the kick. When you spend
47
00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:13.680
fifty one million dollars on a car
and then like the state registration still seventy
48
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:16.199
five bucks. That's annoying. Despite
that huge price, it fell short of
49
00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:21.800
the auction house's expectations. Two bidders
drove the price to forty seven million dollars
50
00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:24.840
before auction house fees. Wow.
Four million dollars in fees. Yikes.
51
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:29.919
There are only thirty six Ferrari two
to fifty GTOs at existence, produced between
52
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:34.560
nineteen sixty two and nineteen sixty four. Owners of the car instantly become members
53
00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:38.479
of an exclusive club that includes Nick
Mason, the drummer for Pink Floyd.
54
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:43.840
Southamy's described this car as one of
one you see. Although it looks almost
55
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:46.560
identical to it two to fifty GTO
was really configured as at three thirty LM
56
00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:50.840
and even rare car with a slightly
larger engine converted it to a two to
57
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:53.639
fifty GTO later in sixty two.
It's the only one ever raced by Scuderia
58
00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:58.719
Ferrari, the car maker's racing division, Ferrari sold it to a Sicilian surgeon
59
00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:00.719
in nineteen sixty four for six thousand
dollars. The car, known as chess
60
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:04.479
He number thirty seven to sixty five, failed to approach the current auction record
61
00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:10.159
for classic car. That happened last
year when sotheby sold a Mercedes Benz three
62
00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:15.000
hundred SLR woolen hats coup for one
hundred and forty four million dollars. As
63
00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:17.959
for the red Ferrari, now going
for fifty one point seven million, I
64
00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:20.839
bet you wish he had picked it
up in nineteen eighty five. Back then
65
00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:28.279
it sold for five hundred thousand dollars. Congratulations to Helen Williams. Helen has
66
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:32.079
set the Guinness World Record for making
the longest handmade wig. This one is
67
00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:38.199
eleven hundred and fifty two feet five
inches. She spent eleven days and twenty
68
00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:41.319
five hundred dollars to create the hair
piece. It took one thousand bottles of
69
00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:44.240
hair, twelve cans of hairspray,
thirty five tubes of hair glue, and
70
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:47.879
sixty two hundred and fifty hair clips. Helen Williams said this achievement is one
71
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:50.399
of the best things that's ever happened
to me. I still can't believe it.
72
00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:54.639
After completing the hairpiece, finding a
place to lay it out and measured
73
00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:59.519
accurately was difficult. She laid it
out on a highway. She's now displaying
74
00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:01.959
the wig in her so people can
come and look at her record setting efforts.
75

hair, twelve cans of hairspray,
thirty five tubes of hair glue, and
70
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:47.879
sixty two hundred and fifty hair clips. Helen Williams said this achievement is one
71
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:50.399
of the best things that's ever happened

After completing the hairpiece, finding a
place to lay it out and measured
73
00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:59.519

out on a highway. She's now displaying
74
00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:01.959
the wig in her so people can
come and look at her record setting efforts.
