Today is National Cereal Day. Oreo cookies yesterday, Cereal today?
10
00:00:47.119 --> 00:00:50.759
What a good week? Technically oatmeal it was the first cereal.
11
00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:54.240
Quicker oat started making it in eighteen fifty four. By
12
00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:57.119
the late eighteen hundreds, we got grape nuts and corn flakes,
13
00:00:57.159 --> 00:00:59.960
and that's cool, but we're going to celebrate the good step.
14
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:02.679
Health be damned. They started making cereal sugar in nineteen
15
00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:06.239
thirty nine. First one was Ranger Joe. It was sugarcoateded
16
00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:09.879
wheat and rice. Now Cereal it's not just for breakfast anymore.
17
00:01:09.879 --> 00:01:11.680
You can eat it anytime you want, day or a night.
18
00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:14.120
Cereal is actually one of the top choices for before
19
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:17.599
bedtime snack. Now it's Saturday, so grab some milk your
20
00:01:17.599 --> 00:01:21.200

how bad a cook Yeah, you can't screw up cereal.
22
00:01:24.239 --> 00:01:26.239
Number one selling cereal is cheerios.
23
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:26.560

24
00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:32.239
It's followed by frosted flakes. The most unhealthy cereal Captain Crunch. Okay,
25
00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:34.359
let's see what was going on in entertainment on March seventh.
26
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:37.120
Let's go back to nineteen sixty. Number one album was the
27
00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:40.159
Sound of Music, the movie soundtrack. Piercy faith In his
28
00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:42.120
orchestra had the number one song with a theme from
29
00:01:42.120 --> 00:02:05.000
a Summer's Place. Jim raeves he had the number one
30
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:06.439
country song with He'll have to Go.
31
00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:16.800
Let's pretend then we're two together all over. I'll tell
32
00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:25.080
the man to turn the duke s way down, and
33
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:29.840
you can tell your friend there with you he'll have
34
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:30.319
to go.
35
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:34.919
The number one book was Hawaii by James Mitchener. The
36
00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:38.439
top move was cancn in Paris in eighteen ninety six.
37
00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:40.879
A female nightclub owner. She fights for her right for
38
00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:43.520
a dancers to be able to do the Can Can stars.
39
00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:47.000
Frank's not turned Shirley MacLean, All right? What happened on
40
00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:50.800
March the seventh? Roman Emperor Constantine? Now he had already
41
00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:53.719
switched the Roman Empire from the Roman pagan gods over
42
00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:57.240
to Christianity. Day in three twenty one, Constantine he decreed
43
00:02:57.240 --> 00:03:00.280
that so let's see Victy or Sunday, it would be
44
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:03.039
a day of rest for the entire Empire, even slaves.
45
00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:07.599
Baseball eighteen fifty seven, it was decided that a baseball
46
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:10.479
game would be nine innings long, and before then it
47
00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:13.759
was the first team to nine runs. Nineteen twenty nine,
48
00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:16.919
no win, and Calvin Kraiat made history. Yeah, they were
49
00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:19.439
the first to find NonStop from America over to Asia.
50
00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:21.960
Pretty impressive. Well, it actually wasn't that big a deal.
51
00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:26.080
They just flew across the Bearing Strait nineteen thirty in Illinois.
52
00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:29.759
In their high school basketball game, Chicago's Georgetown High School
53
00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:33.080
had beat Homer High School. One did nothing. Now, after
54
00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:35.319
World War Two, the United States they needed someplace to
55
00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:38.240
test their nuclear bombs. Well, they found Bikini a toll.
56
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:41.039
It's in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Yeah, it
57
00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:43.120
was perfect. It was in the middle of nowhere, so
58
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:46.000
no ships are playing or anything would pass by. So
59
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:47.879
they made a deal with its king and they moved
60
00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:50.120
to all the people today nineteen forty six, all one
61
00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:52.680
hundred and sixty seven people were who lived there. Yeah,
62
00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:57.120
they were moved to Ragorick Island or Ragrick Actoll something
63
00:03:57.159 --> 00:03:59.560
like that. Anyway, two years later, the United States, Yeah,
64
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:02.560
let's stop and see how those Bikini people are doing well.
65
00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:04.479
It turns out that island didn't have enough food to
66
00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:06.840
support them. Yeah, the people were about to starve to death.
67
00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:09.719
United States and hoops and decided to help. They ended
68
00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:12.400
up moving them three more times to other islands. Finally
69
00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:14.840
they put them on Kill Island. Now that one, they said,
70
00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:16.439
it's got to be perfect. But then they found out
71
00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:18.160
the ocean waves were around the island. They have are
72
00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:21.079
two rough they couldn't go fishing. So finally the United
73
00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:22.959
States just set screw it, We'll just feed you. So
74
00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:25.800
the islanders had to rely on us food drops. Then
75
00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:28.000
in nineteen sixty eight, the United States was all done
76
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:31.399
testing on Bikini Atoll. President Lyndon Johnson he told those
77
00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:34.040
islanders that, hey, you can go back when the radiation
78
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:38.480
levels dropped. So years is that, oh, you know? And
79
00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:41.279
then in nineteen eighty six, the United States just paid
80
00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:44.839
the Bikinis seventy five million bucks for all their troubles.
81
00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:48.360
Called Bloody Sunday nineteen sixty five and Sema, Alabama, a
82
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:52.800
march was organized to show support for Deacon Jimmy or
83
00:04:52.839 --> 00:04:55.639
Deacon James Lee Jackson. He was shot by a state trooper.
84
00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:57.759
For a month earlier. So the march is going to
85
00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:00.920
go from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama. Now, as soon as
86
00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:04.000
the six hundred marchers crossed the county line, the Alabama
87
00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:07.120
State Police on that county posse just attacked the marchers,
88
00:05:07.279 --> 00:05:09.319
beat the hell out of him with billy clubs, used
89
00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:12.279
tear guys. It was horrible. Seventeen marchers ended up in
90
00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:15.600
the hospital, over fifty retreated for their injuries. But the
91
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:18.000
whole thing was shown on TV. So that laid to
92
00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:20.439
eighty marches breaking out in cities all across the country,
93
00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:24.040
and they were all peaceful. In nineteen eighty one, Disneyland
94
00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:27.240
had its first homicide, eighteen year old Mel Yorba. He
95
00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:30.639
was stabbed to death by James O'Driscoll. Yeah, save Mel
96
00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:35.120
had actually pitched James girlfriend's But nineteen ninety seven, five
97
00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:39.040
people see Japan's Prime Minister Hashimoto. They said his smoking
98
00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:43.560
violated Japan's constitution with guaranteed them a wholesome life. Well,
99
00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:47.439
they lost. The court said his smoking wasn't unconstitutional. Last year,
100
00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:50.720
twenty twenty five, Denver Nuggets Nicola Jokic. He became the
101
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:53.079
first player in NBA history to have a triple double
102
00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:55.360
of thirty points, twenty rebounds and twenty assists.

by Willard Scott. He was born in Alexandria, Virginia, in
116
00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:42.399
nineteen thirty four. Most of us don't really probably remember
117
00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:44.839
Willard as being Ronald McDonald. We probably remember him though,
118
00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:46.879

You know, I'm doing his job. Well, the weather man
125
00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:04.279
got really pissed off and quit right before he's supposed
