all the ice cream holidays. Okay, let's see what was

24
00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:32.159
going on in July eighth. Back in nineteen seventy eight entertainment,

25
00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:35.200
the number one album was City to City by Jerry Rafferty.

26
00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:37.599
Andy Gibb had the number once on with Shadow.

27
00:01:37.400 --> 00:02:03.200
Dancing Shadow, Shadow.

28
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:02.040
Telling Us How. The number one country song with I

29
00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:17.840
Believe in You, Alie You You Saw Me in Me, No.

30
00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:21.439
To Me Reveew Miles.

31
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:27.080
The number one book was a Holocraft Covenant by Robert Ledlam.

32
00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:30.639
The top movie was Greatest Now see Sandy and Danny.

33
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:33.000
They fall in love over the summer, but now during

34
00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:35.120
their senior year of high school. Yeah, it's going kind

35
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:38.800
of rough on. So everybody just sings and dances. Stars

36
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:42.439
Olivia Newton, John and John Travolta. All right, let's see

37
00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:45.759
it happened on July the eighth, seventeen seventy six, Colonel

38
00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:48.319
John Nixon, he gave the first public reading of the

39
00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:50.960
Declaration of Independence. Yep, read it to the people out

40
00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:54.360
there in Philadelphia. Now originally the Liberty Bell. It was

41
00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:56.960
ordered for the Pennsylvania State House, and they had it

42
00:02:57.000 --> 00:02:58.879
built over in England and shipped over here, got back

43
00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:01.639
to the United States and seventeen fifty one, Now before

44
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:03.439
they hoisted it onto the roof, they decided, you know what,

45
00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:05.599
let's just give it a little test ring. Damn thing

46
00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:08.159
cracked on. So they got a couple of local metal

47
00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:11.199
workers and they recast the whole thing and everything. Then today,

48
00:03:11.240 --> 00:03:14.360
in eighteen thirty five, they went ahead and they were ringing.

49
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:16.759
The liberty bills cracked again, but this time that cracked

50
00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:19.000
was too big to fix, So that's why it hasn't

51
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:23.199
been ring since eighteen eighty nine. The last official semi

52
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:26.719
legal bare knuckle boxing Ivyweight champions yet match was five

53
00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:30.159
Yeah Promoters Inspectators. They won one last big bare knuckle

54
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:33.319
heavyweight fight before Yeah. This was going mandatory where you

55
00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:35.800
had to wear it gloves. He's kind of not really

56
00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:37.800
legal at this point anyway, but anyway, it was hell

57
00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:42.280
then Haddiesburg, Mississippi, defending champion John Sullivan. He won yep.

58
00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:45.000
His opponent Jack Kilran, he was unable to come out

59
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:47.719
for the seventy fifth round. They were one minute rounds

60
00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:51.240
with a still long fight. Nineteen thirteen, Alfred Gilbert he

61
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:53.639
invented the Rector's set ended up becoming one of those

62
00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:57.800
popular toys in all time. Nan Aspenwell, her and her husband,

63
00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:00.520
they were performers and Buffalo Bill's while the West show.

64
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:03.520
Nan she was a sharp shooter and a roper. See

65
00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:06.159
now this gets a little dicey here and a little sketchy.

66
00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:09.000
So that's why I'm guessing there was alcohol involved. But anyway,

67
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:11.560
Nan and Buffalo Bill and named themselves a bet. Well

68
00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:13.560
Nan won that beck today when she rode a horse

69
00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:16.399
into New York City in nineteen eleven. Say, she was

70
00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:20.240
the first woman to ride by a horseback by herself

71
00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:23.720
solo across the entire United States, yep coast to coast.

72
00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:27.199
She had left San Francisco on September eleventh in nineteen ten,

73
00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:30.480
so about ten months now, she delivered a letter actually

74
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:32.079
from the mayor of San Francisco to the mayor of

75
00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:35.040
New York City. Now they threw a really big party

76
00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:37.439
for Nan. Yeah, it was quite the hohrry deal. But

77
00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:39.199
then her after that, her and her husband they went

78
00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:41.160
and started performing in some Wild West shows again. They

79
00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:43.800
did that until he died in nineteen twenty nine. Then

80
00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:46.839
she retired from performing then she pretty much was just

81
00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:50.000
forgotten by history. Yeah, it's kind of surprising because what

82
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:52.199
she did it's just as big a if not bigger

83
00:04:52.279 --> 00:04:55.199
than what all the other famous women in history had achieved.

84
00:04:55.480 --> 00:04:57.360
I mean, you think about it. Amelia Earhart, it took

85
00:04:57.399 --> 00:05:00.519
her fifteen hours to fly across the Atlantic Ocean. Man,

86
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:04.079
that was ten months. But yeah, so Nan when she

87
00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:06.000
died in nineteen sixty four and she was eighty four

88
00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:08.759
years old, her death certificate it just basically read housewife.

89
00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:11.519
So yes, you kind of forgotten in history, but at

90
00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:14.560
least we know the truth about Nan. Nineteen forty seven,

91
00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:17.279
the Air Force they reported that they had recovered a

92
00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:20.680
fine disc that had crashed in Roswell, New Mexico. Now

93
00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:22.480
tomorrow they're going to say it was a weather bloom.

94
00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:24.800
No ufo here, no, no, no, just keep walking, nothing

95
00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:28.399
to see. Nineteen fifty, in the Korean War, Leroy Durns

96
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:30.160
He was the first American soldier to be awarded the

97
00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:32.639
Purple Heart. So in the Korean War, one hundred and

98
00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:35.000
eighteen thousand, six and fifty Purple Hearts will end up

99
00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:38.759
being awarded. Twenty twenty three in Stockholm, Sweden, Elton John

100
00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:41.600
ended up this farewell tour. Yeah, he was done touring

101
00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:43.160
after that one. He might do with a couple one

102
00:05:43.160 --> 00:05:45.439
off shows, but no more touring for Elton John. What

103
00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:47.480
do you think the last song he played was Yeah,

104
00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:50.240
Yellow Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. Now that tour is the

105
00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:53.120
biggest money making tour in history. Over six point one

106
00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:55.199
million people went to his three hundred and thirty concerts

107
00:05:55.240 --> 00:05:58.000
that he did on five different continents. Showed ate almost

108
00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:00.600
a billion dollars. So not even Taylor's swift is close

109
00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:00.800
to that.

110
00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:09.959
Joked joked joke, shug this shiverf days. He left this

111
00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:10.839
shuverf day.

112
00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:12.040
We want simple targe.

113
00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:14.759
He like this shivers day and you know we don't do.

114
00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:20.079
It. Was born on July the eighth, John Pemberton. He

115
00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:23.680
was born in Knoxville, Georgia, in eighteen thirty one. Now

116
00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:25.839
he earned a medical degree when he was only nineteen

117
00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:27.680
years old. Then he went and fought for the South

118
00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:29.839
in the Civil War. He was stabbed in the chest

119
00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:31.759
during a battle. I mean he lived, but it caused

120
00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:34.519
him to have a lifelong chronic pain. After the war,

121
00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:36.839
he was working as a pharmacist. He became addicted to

122
00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:39.639
morphine so he's trying all different kind of concoctions to

123
00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:42.360
get rid of his morphine addiction. And one day he

124
00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:45.360
was doing a concoction, but he accidentally spilled carbonated water

125
00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:47.519
on it. Now he knew it wasn't medicine, but you know,

126
00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:49.639
it tasted pretty damn good, you know what, It made

127
00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:51.800
a really good fountain drink. So he just started selling

128
00:06:51.879 --> 00:06:54.639
his coca cola. Yeah, that original coca cola. They did

129
00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:57.120
have nine milligrams of cocaine in it, but just for

130
00:06:57.199 --> 00:07:01.439
some perspective, now, a typical line that people snort of cocaine,

131
00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:03.720
it has fifty to seventy miligrams of coke. So yeah,

132
00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:07.560
it's not that much in the co cola. Noptember ten,

133
00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:10.399
he was he ended up coming up with stomach cancer.

134
00:07:10.839 --> 00:07:12.480
So he was sick and he was broke, so he

135
00:07:12.519 --> 00:07:14.920
basically sold the recipe for coca cola for hardly anything.

136
00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:17.199
He died from the cancer in eighteen eighty eight, at

137
