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're got 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, cherries, 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. She's going on entertainment on July eighth. It's about there. In nineteen eighty six, number one album was controlled by Janet Jackson. Billy Ocean had the number one song with that There'll be sad Songs, Sad Songs to. Make you cry, Sounds of Dudes Love so.

1:58 Lee Greenwood add the number one country with Hearts Aren't Made to Break. You're cryingas saves heard Lo. Triumph Hard, don't always take it because hearts aren't made to break made. The number one book was The Last of the Breed by Louis Lamore. The top movie was Create Good Birt two Mister Miyagi. He goes back to Okinawa to see his dying father and he brings Daniel with him. Well, they both end up in a fight stars Pat Marina and Ralph Machio. 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 in seventeen fifty one. Now, before they hoisted it onto the roof, they decided, you know what, let's just give it a little test string. 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 the liberty bills. Cracked again, but this time the crack 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 Championship matchless five Yeah Promoters Inspectators.

3:24 They won one last big bare knuckle heavyweight fight before Yeah. This was go mandatory where he had to wear it gloves.

They were performers in Buffalo Bill's Wild West show. Nan she was a sharp shooter and a roper. See now this gets a little dicey here and a little sketchy.

Well Nan won that bet 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.

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, she kind of forgot forgotten in history. But at least we know the truth about Nam. 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.

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 from some perspective now, a typical line that people snort of cocaine, it has fifty to seventy milligrams of coke, So yeah, it's not that much in the cola.
