>> Stephen: HEY, EVERYBODY, WELCOME BACK.

YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN IN ISOLATION FOR A WHILE NOW.

AND THE CABIN FEVER IS DEFINITELY BEGINNING TO SET IN.

YOU KNOW HOW IN CARTOONS, THEY'LL LOOK AT A PERSON AND

HALLUCINATE THAT THEY'RE LIKE A DELICIOUS TURKEY DRUMSTICK?

WELL, I'M NOW LOOKING AT MY FOOD AND IMAGINING IT'S A FRIEND I

HAVEN'T SEEN IN A WHILE.

AND EVEN THOUGH SOME STATES ARE GRADUALLY LIFTING THEIR BANS,

RIGHT NOW, THE SAFEST THING FOR YOURSELF AND THOSE YOU LOVE IS

TO KEEP SOCIAL DISTANCING AT HOME.

OF COURSE STAYING INSIDE CAN BE TOUGH.

FORTUNATELY, FRIEND OF THE SHOW PAUL F. TOMPKINS HAS A MESSAGE

ABOUT JUST HOW GREAT THE GREAT INDOORS CAN BE.

JIM?

♪ ♪ ♪ >> RIGHT!

OH, HELLO.

I DIDN'T SEE YOU THERE.

I WAS LOOKING AT A BOOK.

I'M A MAN WHO DRESSES LIKE A PROFESSOR, PAUL F. TOMPKINS.

LIKE MOST AMERICANS, RIGHT NOW I'M DOING MOI PART BY STAYING

HOME AND BEING SCARED.

AND DURING THIS HISTORIC TIME, WHILE WE ARE ADVISED TO STAY

INSIDE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, IT'S IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT

"INSIDE" IS EXACTLY WHERE MANY OF THE GREATEST MOMENTS OF

HISTORY HAVE OCCURRED.

THIS IS "GREAT MOMENTS IN INDOOR HISTORY."

♪ ♪ ♪ APRIL 9, 1965, THE FIRST GAME IS

PLAYED AT THE HOUSTON ASTRODOME, TAKING PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL

WHERE IT HAD NEVER BEEN DEFER-- INDOORS.

AND BECAUSE IT IS BASEBALL, THAT SAME GAME IS STILL BEING PLAYED

TO THIS DAY.

AUGUST 2, 1776, THE SECOND CONTINENTAL CONGRESS SIGNS THE

DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE AT PHILADELPHIA'S INDEPENDENCE

HALL.

BUT DID IT HAPPEN OUTSIDE OF THE HALL?

NO, DEAR VIEWER, IT HAPPENED INDOORS.

IF IT HAPPENED OUTDOORS, THE DECLARATION MAEVE BLOWN WAERK

THEREBY ENDING THE REVOLUTION.

KING GORGE WOULD HAVE WON AND WE ALL WOULD BE SPEAKING ENGLISH.

JULY 20, 1969 NICE.

NEIL ARMSTRONG BECOMES THE FIRST EARTHLING TO STEP FOOT ON THE

MOON.

I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING: THE MOON IS OUTSIDE.

BUT, REMEMBER, WHO WAS INSIDE A SUIT.

SO, TECHNICALLY, INDOORS.

THE WHOLE-- ALL OF HIM WAS IN-- THERE'S A DOOR IN THE FRONT.

IT WORKS.

SEPTEMBER 1964: SEYMOUR CRAY UNVEILS THE WORLD'S FIRST SUPER

EXOWRT.

AND TO MAKE SURE HIS INVENTION IS NOT DESTROYED BY RAIN OR

POOPED ON BY BIRDS HE KEEPS IT INDOORS.

AUGUST 7, 1888.

THE DESIGN OF THE REVOLVING DOOR, TAKING DOORS WHERE THEY'VE

NEVER GONE BEFORE, INDOORS.

THEN OUTDOORS, THEN INDOORS, THEN OUTDOORS, THEN INDOORS, AND

SO ON.

YOU GET IT.

JULY 1965, JIM MORRISON AND RAY MANZERRIC BEGIN WRITING SONGS.

I'M SORRY.

THIS ONE APPEARS TOB A GREAT MOMENT IN DORS, THE BAND

HISTORY.

BUT TO BE FAIR, MOST OF THEIR PERFORMANCES WERE HELD ENDORS,

SO...

25 MORE SHADES OF GREY TO GO.

UPON THOS ALL THE TIME I HAVE FOR "GREAT MOMENTS IN INDOOR

HISTORY."

I'M JUST KIDDING.

I HAVE PLENTY OF TIME!

I'M NOT DOING ANYTHING.

BUT I WILL BE ENDING THE SEGMENT NOW.

UNTIL NEXT TIME, STAY SAFE, AND IF YOU CAN, STAY INDOORS!

>> Stephen: THANK YOU TO PAUL F. TOMPKINS.

WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
