Billy's mother is in a ranger's uniform in a national park. He thinks, "Can't believe I'm unmaking history..." He calls out, "Hey, white people! Stop! Don't read that! It could make you feel bad!" Back home, he's ending marijuana plants with Zipper. Zipper asks him, "So how's your mum holding up, Billy?" Billy says, "Not so good. She's still upset about her firing..." A flashback to her firing. A white man and his son are reading a sign on a stone, "`By 1882, The Ute people had been forcibly removed from the area...'" Billy's mother shouts from out of frame, "Stop! Don't read that marker!" The man asks, "Uh... why not?" Billy's mother says, "The president thinks that American people are all snowflakes.... and can't handle the history of how native Americans have been treated. Here's the revised patriotic version. Enjoy!" He boss calls her, "He, Nina!" The man reads the new sign, "`By 1882, the area had been cleared of homeless tents...'" Talking to her manager, Billy's mother says, "What's up?" He says, "You've been fired. For being too equal."

1. Westinghouse engineer Frank Conrad, 39, got into ham radio to win a bet! “I’ll bet my watch is more accurate than yours!” 2. In the workshop above his garage in Wilkinsburg, Pa., Frank built a receiver to pick up the time signals from the U.S. Naval Observatory and verify his watch’s accuracy. 3. In 1916, Frank got his license (8XK) and was soon a popular leader in local ham circles. 4. Frank tested the 8XK transmitter with music from records the family piano. 5. Schedules for 8XK’s regular “air concerts” were printed in the local newspapers. 6. In the fall of 1920, the ARRL set up an experimental nationwide network to relay results on election night … and they included Frank’s station, 8XK. 7. By then, however, Frank’s employer had applied for a commercial license and was ready to take over his broadcast schedule. 8. On election night, Frank was standing by at 8XK in case there were any technical problems … but KDKA’s first broadcast on Nov. 2, 1920, was “F.B.” (“fine business”) and the station has now been on the air 100 years!
