It's this day in history. It's been, I don't know, freaking a year and a half or something. Is it the day? Are we on the day? Or is it the day that we do this every year? No joke. I woke up today and I said, this is probably going to be my patreon. And then I panicked and I said, oh no, oh no, Adel, you idiot, you've done it again. You've done the exact same date that you've done twice before. Thank God we're two weeks out. I'm losing weight. So funny. We're shopping about this time of year.

We should have done it again. We should have done it again. Oh. Oh, that's so funny. Okay, so yeah, so the world is probably gonna be like dramatically different two weeks before, right? I hope so. I hope so.

Cause that's how history works, right? Yeah. Yeah. It gets less dramatic as you go back in time. There are days when years happen and there are weeks when one month happens and that is history, my dear boy. I hope it's all the same event. I think there was something.

If I hear something about the fucking Beatles, I'm gonna I'm gonna flip my wig because then it's all the same events. Because just because the Beatles did something? The Beatles only did one thing ever one good thing and that's when Ringo lived. I mean that's pretty good. Well let's go, let's start going through some time. So this is going to be February 23rd. This is all the fun stuff that happened February 23rd throughout history. What was that? Is there a February 23rd this year?

Oh yes, because of Aleepier. Nobody look it up. Nobody look it up. JPC, no joke. Here, this is real. 1971, February 23rd, 1971, George Harrison. Oh my God, you're fucking. No joke, no joke, this is oddballist.

Did your heart skip a beat when JBC said that thing about Beatles? I was like, oh no. I was scrambling, because I had seen it earlier when I took a screenshot, I was scrambling to find it. February 23rd, 1971, George Harrison is fined, and he's fined, he's fined?

George Harrison is fined in his driver's license, is suspended for one year. Now imagine being the cop who's like, eh, fucking asshole, won't drive on the right side of the road, you pull him over, it's George Harrison. What do you- Wait, is that why he got pulled over for driving on the wrong side of the road?

You've been in America for too long! And it's gonna take some money! Baby, well, then he said to his wife, Linda Ronstead, I believe, he said, baby, you can drive my car. And she said, oh, thank you. And he goes, well, my license is suspended for one year, so that's why you're driving it. It's 71, George Harrison. Yes, to me if I am drunk, I don't know, I don't know.

Why don't we do it in the road? No, sir, step out of the car. Adel, do you have more information about this? I'd love to know what his penalty for being, why he got his license suspended for a year after a traffic incident. Yeah. Let me see if I can find out. It couldn't have been 70.

It couldn't have been drunk driving because in 71 that was okay. The cop would give you like a wink and a nod and say, you know, get your cigarette. Here's a second. Here's a cigarette. Get to your second family safe. Well, here's what I would say that I looked up 1971. George Harrison find.

And this is not what I was looking for but the very top article says Harrison was found guilty of subconscious plagiarism and had to pay $1,600,000 the earnings from my sweet lord to songwriter Ronnie Mack Huh? Oh Wow, so that's the guy that did all the McDonald's jingles and George Harrison Wow damn, okay. Oh is this did all the McDonald's jingles. And George Harrison ripped it off, huh? Wow, damn. Okay, oh, is this, this might be it. Okay, here we go.

George Harrison, find for, okay, doesn't say what he did. I want to see a scene. Mm-hmm. JPC, you are George Harrison, and you are calling Paul McCartney on the phone to have him get you out of some trouble and play by Adel. Pick up the phone. Paul, pick up the phone. Oi, Oi.

Chips, Oi. Paul, it's me, George. George, it's me, Paul. Two of the Beatles. Two of the best Beatles. I fucked up. I fucked up. I'm in a mess.

I'm in a mess mate. Oh no. Did you do it again? Did you write another song with Eric Clapton? The piece of shite. No no. The piece of shite. I'm trying to distance myself from him because I think in like 50 years he's gonna be pretty

problematic. Actually a long time before. It doesn't matter. And I think in two years he's gonna be married to your wife. Fuck that piece of shit. I love Linda Ronstadt more than anything and I'll never get divorced from her. Wait, Linda's the name of me wife. Linda McHartney.

Let's not dig too deep into it. I need you to come pick me up. Oh, why? Did- oh, you know I drive a yellow submarine on wheels? What? I'm just joking. I thought we were just having fun. No, we're not serious pickle. It's not funny. Outside of work we don't really talk. I thought to throw in some jokes and jabs.

What work? Didn't we break up? Oh, oh no, we're still... Are we still the Beatles at this point? Well, me, John and Ringo are. John's alive! Yeah, oh, you didn't know. You know how I died? No!

Oh, we did a whole thing with you players. Please tell me Ringo's dead as well. No. Oh my ears burning. It was hard when I was born. Is Ringo there? Are you in the hot tub together? The hot tub that I bought for you? I live here. Once it's a gift, it's a gift. Seen. My Beatles chronology timeline is pretty messed up.

What year did John Lennon get assassinated? 1988. Was it that late? Okay. Let me look. It's like, assassinated. 1980? I believe it was 78, 79. Was it that late? Okay, okay. Let me look. Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm. Um, okay, let's see here.

It says, okay, so I found this. December 8th, 1980. George Harrison in like 71, he thought there was like a policeman hammering the roof of his car and he thought it was just a fan, so he ignored him. But the policeman was trying to tell him that he had caused a big traffic jam.

And then it looks like after that, it was alleged yesterday at Well Street, Man's Traits Court, Harrison drove three times at the Constable, I don't know what that means. And he pleaded guilty to driving without a reasonable consideration. So basically he thought that a cop was a fan, and he was like, okay, fuck off. I don't give a shit. And

then the cop was like, no, I'm not a fan. But does that mean the cop wasn't a fan? Because he should get off if the cop was a fan of the Beatles. He must have been a Stones guy. I found like a 40 page article about George Harrison and cars. Like it seems like there's something going on here. He's been in an unbelievable amount of accidents. Oh, here comes the conspiracy. What is going on?

This is truly, I'm gonna send it, this is like a college thesis. It's called Drive My Car, the Beatles Road Incidents, but it's all George. I also found, and this is very funny, I also found a timestamp here. So February 23rd, 1971, his license is suspended for one year. No joke. February 28th, 1972, which is a year and a week to the date. George

Harrison is involved in a minor car accident. No way. Hey, look, honestly, if you haven't been driving, if you haven't been driving for a year, that makes sense, you're all rusty. Yeah, you're out of practice. Yeah. Unbelievable, what was wrong with this guy? Hey, do you think Matthew Broderick still drives? I hope not. Do you think after he killed two people,

he doesn't, he's like, you know what, I shouldn't drive anymore. I think he lives in New York, so no. Yeah, that's true. I think Hallie did a killed someone with her car. Anyways. Swept under the rug. Here we go.

Going back just slightly further than 1971. February 23rd, 1455. Oh. Johannes Gutenberg prints his first Bible. And it says his first Bible. So I don't know if he was like, you know, tinkering with his own version. He sat in the typeface and he was like, by God, about by, you know, how does Gootman book?

What have you got as Gootman book? My favorite thing about the Bible is it has never changed since its original conception in like 2000 years ago. No one's ever rewritten it. No one's ever changed the meaning of any words. It's been the same and no human has translated it for their own agenda. My favorite part about it was like, I think it was like three to five days after the events of the news estimate, they were like, we should fucking write this down. Like they got on it so

they didn't wait for like to pass the stories down for like 200 years, just like orally to other people and then read it down. They wrote that shit down. Cause like that- Someone said get a pen, get a pen, get a pen, get a pen. Someone said that. I was in a hit and run one time and I was like the first thing was like get the license plate.

Get the license plate. You gotta get the license plate. Beatles one. Was it Beatles one? Here's your pass on one. It was Rango. It was Ringo. One, two, three, four, hate riddle riddles, glue crew.
