>> I WOULDN'T CHARACTERIZE IT AS A HOSTILE PLACE BUT IT CERTAINLY IS AN IMPOSING PLACE.

AND I THINK THAT IF YOU DON'T HAVE MANY CONNECTIONS UP AT THE CAPITOL IT CAN BE A HARD PLACE TO FIND YOUR AY, TO NAVIGATE NOT ONLY THE ROCESS BUT JUST WHO DO I NEED TO SPEAK TO AND WHERE DO I GO, WHAT ARE THE STEPS.

AND LUCKILY FOR ME I HAD A VERY GOOD MENTOR AND HE WALKED ME AROUND AND INTRODUCED ME TO A LOT OF PEOPLE AND I THINK THAT THIS IS WHAT THIS PROGRAM IS TRYING TO DO.

THE CAPITOL PATHWAYS INTERNSHIP PROGRAM IS STILL GOING STRONG, BY THE WAY.

AT LAST COUNT, 343 INTERNS HAVE PARTICIPATED IN THE PROGRAM.

OKAY, FRIENDS.

IT'S HISTORY TIME.

LAST WEEK WE ASKED YOU ABOUT A QUESTION ABOUT A NOTABLE MOMENT IN MINNESOTA'S ONLINE HISTORY.

WE TRAVELED BACK TO THE YEAR 2005 WHEN YOUTUBE'S FIRST-EVER VIDEO WAS UPLOADED TO THE WEB.

A COUPLE ONTHS LATER A MINNESOTAN AND A FORMER ALMANAC GUEST UPLOADED A VIDEO THE TO SITE AND CLAIMS A NEW TITLE: THE FIRST PERSON TO SWEAR ON YOUTUBE.

WE WANTED TO -- WE WANT TO KNOW WHO THAT POTTY MOUTH IS.

WE GOT QUITE A FEW CALL-INS BUT NONE OF THEM HAD THE RIGHT ANSWER, SO LET'S HEAR 'EM.

>> "YES, THE ANSWER TO THIS WEEK'S QUESTION.

I'M GONNA BE THE FIRST ONE TO GUESS JESSE VENTURA.

THIS IS STEVE AND SUE, PEARL LAKE.

>> "THE ANSWER TO THE ALMANAC QUESTION TONIGHT IS THE ALWAYS COLORFUL TOMMY RUKAVINA.

THIS IS MEL FROM SAINT PAUL.” >> “I BELIEVE THE PERSON THAT DID THE FIRST SWEAR >> Cathy: PRETTY GOOD, FRANK, FROM OAK GROVE BUT YOU'RE A LITTLE BIT WRONG THERE.

ALTHOUGH JAWED KARIM DOES HAVE A CONNECTION TO THE ANSWER.

WE'RE GOING TO ASK THIS ONE AGAIN.

WE WANT TO KNOW WHAT FORMER ALMANAC GUEST AND FORMER PBS STAFFER CLAIMS TO BE THE FIRST PERSON TO SWEAR IN A VIDEO ON YOUTUBE?

WE THINK CHUCK'S MOM MIGHT KNOW THE ANSWER.

IF YOU THINK YOU DO WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU.

612-229-1430 IS THE NUMBER TO CALL OR E-MAIL YOUR ANSWERS RIGHT OR WRONG TO ALMANA [email protected], YOU'RE ALWAYS WELCOME TO SHARE FEEDBACK ON THE SHOW TOO, WE LISTEN TO EVERY VOICEMAIL AND READ EVERY E-MAIL.
