00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:13.039
Well greetings everybody. I am definitely welcome to the History

00:00:13.039 --> 00:00:15.720
of Fact. It is about today, presented by Cool Country Radio.

3
00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:17.440
Today's December the twenty second.

4
00:00:18.440 --> 00:00:22.719
I took the cookie from the cookie jar, the yummy,

5
00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:30.679
yummy cookie from the cookie chart. Are you hungry? Let's share? Okay,

00:00:37.159 --> 00:00:37.640
Thank you.

10
00:00:38.799 --> 00:00:44.039
It's National Cookie Exchange Day now cookies. They've been exchanged

11
00:00:44.039 --> 00:00:46.799
since the Middle Ages over the Christmas holiday, so today

12
00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:49.640
is actually pretty cool. Everyone just gives each other cookies.

13
00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:52.399
Works out really well for me. My cookies are kind

14
00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:54.320
of bland and basic, but I got some really good

15
00:00:54.320 --> 00:00:57.240
cookies in return. So don't worry about your diet today.

16
00:00:57.359 --> 00:00:59.840
Just have fun trading cookies. See what was going on

17
00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:02.119
on pop culture on December twenty second. Let's go back

18
00:01:02.119 --> 00:01:05.599
the year two thousand and three. Top selling toy was RoboSapien.

19
00:01:05.799 --> 00:01:08.920
Outcast had the number one song with Hey Yeah, don't.

20
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:12.560
Try to bag a bit just then on and DV

21
00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:20.159
right now God from Mom and Papa can do together

22
00:01:20.239 --> 00:01:21.280
because we don't know.

23
00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:34.319
Kenny Chesney had the number one country song, but there

24
00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:35.480
Goes My Life.

25
00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:47.599
There Goes Live, There Go Love Everything.

26
00:01:48.359 --> 00:01:49.400
Mane as well.

27
00:01:50.400 --> 00:01:55.719
He said, there goes mi.

28
00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:00.959
Oh grad The number one book it was Blowfly by

29
00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:04.120
Patricia Cornwell. Top movie was Lord of the Rings The

30
00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:07.159
Return of the King Gandalph and Aragon. They have to

31
00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:10.960
distract Saron's army as Fredo and Sam approached Mount Doom

32
00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:14.400
with the One Ring stars Elijah Wood, Ego, Martin Son

33
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:16.919
and Ian McKellen. It had happened in the world on

34
00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:20.680
December of the twenty second. It's eighteen eighty two. Edward Johnson.

35
00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:22.360
He asked Tom and A Sedatives then to make a

36
00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:24.800
string of lights for his Christmas tree back home. So

37
00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:27.479
you know, the first string of Christmas lights had eighty red,

38
00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:30.479
white and blue light bulbs on it. Eighteen ninety one.

39
00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:34.479
Who ah, you looked ahead, didn't you. Eighteen ninety one

40
00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:38.360
Seth Wheeler he invented perforated toilet paper. Now you could

41
00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:42.240
easily tear the sheets off. Now, when Americans were saluting

42
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:44.680
the American flag or reading the Pledge of Allegiance, they

43
00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:47.400
would use what was called the Bellamy salute. What they'd

44
00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:49.280
do is they'd put their right arm straight out with

45
00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:52.280
the palm down. Well, then in nineteen forty two it

46
00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:54.919
was noticed that that Bellamy salute hit looked a hole

47
00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:57.840
out like the German Nazi salute in Italy's fascist s loute.

48
00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:00.960
So America decided no way to want to be identified

49
00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:03.400
with that. So from now on, all Americans just put

50
00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:05.159
your hand over your heart when you salute the flag.

51
00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:08.039
Nineteen forty four, in the Battle of the Bolt the

52
00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:10.680
Germans had the US one hundred and first air born.

53
00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:14.280
They were completely surrounded. The Germans sent an ultimatum to

54
00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:17.759
US Brigadier General Anthony mccaliffe, telling him either to surrender

55
00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:22.000
immediately or free faced complete annihilation. Mccaull sent back a

56
00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:25.599
message to the Germans that read two German commanders nuts,

57
00:03:26.039 --> 00:03:29.719
the American commander well, the US fighting one and verse.

58
00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:32.080
They held off the Germans and the United States won

59
00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:34.840
the Battle of the Bolts. It pretty much ended in

60
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:37.319
Germany's any kind of chance for making any kind of

61
00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:41.080
assault ever again on the Western Front. Nineteen fifty six,

62
00:03:41.159 --> 00:03:43.800
the first gorilla was born in captivity at the Columbus

63
00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:47.319
Zoo in Ohio. Now they named the gorilla Colo. She

64
00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:50.240
was rejected by her mothers. Those zoo keepers had to

65
00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:52.479
hand raise her. She had a nice life. She lives

66
00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:56.159
until she was twenty seventeen at sixty years old. Now

67
00:03:56.360 --> 00:03:59.240
in really creepy news. Now, the first cloned pet was

68
00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:01.599
born in two thousand thousand and one, called c C

69
00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:05.639
the cat. CC. It stands for carbon copy. CC was

70
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:07.919
cloned by a scientists at Texas N A and M

71
00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:10.719
University in two thousand and six. She did give one

72
00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:15.240
literate kittens, and then she died in twenty nineteen at

73
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:19.480
eighteen years old. Still creepy. Also in two thousand and one,

74
00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:22.040
though not creepy, just kind of pisses you off. The

75
00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:24.439
shoe bomber Richard Reid, he tried to blow up American

76
00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:27.759
Airlines Flight sixty three in a mid air flight. He's

77
00:04:27.800 --> 00:04:29.519
trying to light his shoe on fire. They had had

78
00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:32.160
explosives in it, but because of the sweat from his feet,

79
00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:35.480
the explosives were damp and they wouldn't ignight passengers and crew.

80
00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:36.959
They were able to tie him up for the rest

81
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:37.360
of the flight.

82
00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:40.839
Go coat coat, coat.

83
00:04:40.920 --> 00:04:42.319

and you know, we don't give up because that birthday.

87
00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:54.279
All right, let's see he was born on July the

88
00:04:54.360 --> 00:05:07.279
twenty second. That is the theme song to Leave It

89
00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:10.800
to Beaver. Actress Barbara Billingsley was born in Los Angeles

90
00:05:10.839 --> 00:05:13.759

91
00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:16.000
bit parts, she finally landed the mom on the TV

92
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:18.240

That is country singer hecksa Hockins, ticking off all the women.

113
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:30.720
those years. He was born in Huntington, West Virginia in

121
00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:55.079
Then in nineteen sixty three Hawkins he was killed in

122
00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:57.920
the plane crash that killed Patsy Klein. Hawkins is forty

123
00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:00.519
one years old. His wife, Jean, she gave birth to

124
00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:03.720

He is married to his third wife since nineteen sixty nine.

132
00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:50.079
Robin and Maurice Gibb. They were fraternal twins. Robin was

133
00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:52.720
thirty five minutes older than Maurice. They were born on

134
00:07:52.800 --> 00:07:55.319
the Isle of Man in nineteen forty nine. Grew up

135
00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:58.319

Andy Gibb he was nine years younger. Barry, Robin and

137
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:04.600
Maurice they formed the Beg's in nineteen fifty eight. Yeah,

138
00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:06.319
if you do the math, they were nine years old,

139
00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:08.879
the twins were. But get this, two years later they

140
00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:11.879
charted a song on the Australian charts. It's called three

141
00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:14.639
Kisses of Love made it up to ninety eight. Now,

142
00:08:14.720 --> 00:08:17.879
all of the years in the sixties, especially the Beaches,

143
00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:20.480
they had decent success on the Australian charts down there,

144
00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:23.720
but nothing huge and then disco hit now the bjs

145
00:08:23.720 --> 00:08:26.240

years and had two children. He married his second wife

148
00:08:32.639 --> 00:08:35.279
in eighteen eighty five and they had a son. Then

149
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:37.360
for just fun of it, I guess he had a

150
00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:39.600
daughter off on the side on her she kept him around.

151
00:08:40.039 --> 00:08:42.600
He died of kidney thayer in twenty twelve at sixty

152
00:08:42.639 --> 00:08:45.799
two years old. Now Maurice, he married the pop star

153
00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:48.320

154
00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:50.879

two children. Maurice died from a twisted in Testine in

156
00:08:53.960 --> 00:08:55.960
two thousand and three at fifty three years old.

157
00:08:56.240 --> 00:09:11.960
I don't tell you them, mom, but without one but to.

158
00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:21.159
Sex, you have no idea how hard it is to

159
00:09:21.200 --> 00:09:23.679
find a clean version of that song. That is rapper

160
00:09:23.799 --> 00:09:26.600
Luther Campbell. He was born in nineteen sixty in Miami, Florida.

161
00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:29.480
Sixty to You kind of started out as a really

162
00:09:29.559 --> 00:09:33.720
small time concert promoter and manager. Then two Live Crew

163
00:09:33.840 --> 00:09:36.159
came through Florida, so we joined him in nineteen eighty six.

164
00:09:36.559 --> 00:09:38.759
Their third album, it was as nasty as it wants
