I like to smother rid with the cherry and sprinkles and other stuffs. Today is National ice Cream Sunday Day. In eighteen eighty one in Wisconsin, Edward Berners he invented the ice cream Sunday, So thank you Edward. How to celebrate? First you have to you go how many scoops you want?

1:01 Then? Now what do you want to put on top of it? Most popular toppings are caramel, chocolate, hot fudge, strawberry, pineapple, sprinkles, Jerry's nuts, whip cream. Basically, whatever you want, whenever you like, so you can go bigger, go as small as you want. Technically, banana splits are considered ice cream Sundays. Not a lot of deals today though, No, there's a couple of ice cream days coming up later This month that they're going to celebrate a lot more. So, Hey, we'll just celebrate all the ice cream holidays. Okay, let's see what was going on in July eighth. Back in nineteen seventy eight entertainment, the number one album was City to City by Jerry Rafferty. Andy Gibb had the number once on with Shadow. Dancing Shadow, Shadow.

2:00 Telling Us How. The number one country song with I Believe in You, Alie You You Saw Me in Me, No. To Me Reveew Miles. The number one book was a Holocraft Covenant by Robert Ledlam. The top movie was Greatest Now see Sandy and Danny. They fall in love over the summer, but now during their senior year of high school. Yeah, it's going kind of rough on. So everybody just sings and dances. Stars Olivia Newton, John and John Travolta. All right, let's see it happened on July the eighth, seventeen seventy six, Colonel John Nixon, he gave the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence. Yep, read it to the people out there in Philadelphia. Now originally the Liberty Bell. It was ordered for the Pennsylvania State House, and they had it built over in England and shipped over here, got back to the United States and seventeen fifty one, Now before they hoisted it onto the roof, they decided, you know what, let's just give it a little test ring. Damn thing cracked on. So they got a couple of local metal workers and they recast the whole thing and everything. Then today, in eighteen thirty five, they went ahead and they were ringing.

3:14 The liberty bills cracked again, but this time that cracked was too big to fix, So that's why it hasn't been ring since eighteen eighty nine. The last official semi legal bare knuckle boxing Ivyweight champions yet match was five Yeah Promoters Inspectators. They won one last big bare knuckle heavyweight fight before Yeah. This was going mandatory where you had to wear it gloves. He's kind of not really legal at this point anyway, but anyway, it was hell then Haddiesburg, Mississippi, defending champion John Sullivan. He won yep. His opponent Jack Kilran, he was unable to come out for the seventy fifth round. They were one minute rounds with a still long fight. Nineteen thirteen, Alfred Gilbert he invented the Rector's set ended up becoming one of those popular toys in all time. Nan Aspenwell, her and her husband, they were performers and Buffalo Bill's while the West show.

4:00 Nan she was a sharp shooter and a roper. See now this gets a little dicey here and a little sketchy. So that's why I'm guessing there was alcohol involved. But anyway, Nan and Buffalo Bill and named themselves a bet. Well Nan won that beck today when she rode a horse into New York City in nineteen eleven. Say, she was the first woman to ride by a horseback by herself solo across the entire United States, yep coast to coast. She had left San Francisco on September eleventh in nineteen ten, so about ten months now, she delivered a letter actually from the mayor of San Francisco to the mayor of New York City. Now they threw a really big party for Nan. Yeah, it was quite the hohrry deal. But then her after that, her and her husband they went and started performing in some Wild West shows again. They did that until he died in nineteen twenty nine. Then she retired from performing then she pretty much was just forgotten by history. Yeah, it's kind of surprising because what she did it's just as big a if not bigger than what all the other famous women in history had achieved.

4:55 I mean, you think about it. Amelia Earhart, it took her fifteen hours to fly across the Atlantic Ocean. Man, that was ten months. But yeah, so Nan when she died in nineteen sixty four and she was eighty four years old, her death certificate it just basically read housewife. So yes, you kind of forgotten in history, but at least we know the truth about Nan. Nineteen forty seven, the Air Force they reported that they had recovered a fine disc that had crashed in Roswell, New Mexico. Now tomorrow they're going to say it was a weather bloom. No ufo here, no, no, no, just keep walking, nothing to see. Nineteen fifty, in the Korean War, Leroy Durns He was the first American soldier to be awarded the Purple Heart.

And one day he was doing a concoction, but he accidentally spilled carbonated water on it. Now he knew it wasn't medicine, but you know, it tasted pretty damn good, you know what, It made a really good fountain drink. So he just started selling his coca cola. Yeah, that original coca cola. They did have nine milligrams of cocaine in it, but just for some perspective, now, a typical line that people snort of cocaine, it has fifty to seventy miligrams of coke.
