Ah, there are some deals today, but you're going to have to go local. No national deals. You know what? Today might be a fun day or night to actually make your own pizza. Yep, just include some sausage. Let's see what happened to entertainment on October 11th. It was back to 2021. Sincerely Control by Young Boy Never Broke Again.

1:09 That was the number one album. The Kid LAROI and Justin Bieber had their number one song was Stay. I do the same thing I told you that I never would. I told you I'd change even when I knew I never could. I know that I can't find nobody else as good as you. I need you to stay. I need you to stay. I get drunk, wake up, I'm wasted still. I realize it's time that I wasted. I feel like you can't feel the way I feel. If you can't be right. Walker Hayes had the number one country song with Fancy Like. Fancy Like. The number one selling book was Apples Never Fall by Leon Mariotti. The top movie was Halloween Kills. Now, people who survived Michael Myers, yeah, they all joined together to take him out. Stars Jamie Lee Curtis. Now, the very first Halloween back in 1978, yeah, that was Jamie Lee's first movie. Now, here she is in 2021, finally going after Michael. 1975, Saturday Night Live debut. George Carlin, he was the first guest host. Now, Billy Preston, he's a nothing from nothing. Yeah, Janice Ian comes singing on stage with him. No idea who Janice Ian is. All right,

2:40 what happened on October the 11th? 1910, Teddy Roosevelt became the first president to ride in an airplane. Well, kind of. He wasn't president anymore. He had gotten out of office about a year before. But it sounds cool. We really don't have a lot to talk about today. But Teddy's sixth cousin, though, Franklin Roosevelt, yeah, he was president when he got a ride in the airplane in the 1930s. 1919, meals were served on an airplane for the first time. It was on a flight from London to Paris. Passengers, they got a box of cold fried chicken and a fruit salad. 1922, Alaska Davidson, she became the first female FBI agent. But then J. Edgar Hoover took over the FBI. He didn't like girls in the FBI. So he got rid of Alaska and two other women who had become FBI agents. So from 1926 to 1972, absolutely no female FBI agents. 1929, JCPenney's, they opened a store in Milford, Delaware.

3:32 That meant they had at least one JCPenney in every state. Yep, all 48 of them. Now, you've probably seen in old movies and TV shows and stuff where they use those hand-cranked telephones. 1983, it was the last hand-cranked telephones went out of service. That's right. 440 telephone customers in Bryant-Pond, Maine, they were still using those hand-cranked things. Yeah, sister over to direct dial phones today. Total end of the era. The Soviets, they'd done it twice before, but in 1984, Catherine Sullivan, she became the first American woman astronaut, yeah, to do a spacewalk. She was out there about three and a half hours, and she finally agreed to come in and do the dishes, so they let her back in. Go! Okay, let's see who was born on October the 11th. Actress Jean Vanderpile. She was born in Philadelphia in 1919. Who is Jean? Well, more of a voice actress, actually. She was the original voice of Wilma Flintstone. Then she was Pebbles Flintstone. She was Rosie the Robot on the Jetsons. Yeah, she was in a whole bunch of things. Now, the last time she voiced Wilma was 1996. She was married to her first husband for 23 years, and they had three kids. He died. Married her second husband for 29 years, and they had one kid, and he died. Jane, she died in 1999 from lung cancer at 79 years old.

5:20 That's country singer Dottie West. She was born in Frog Pond, Tennessee in 1932. Now, her maiden name was actually Marsh. That's right. Born in Frog Pond. Yeah, I'm serious. Now, Frog Pond is about 45 minutes west of Nashville. Dottie, she was the first female country artist to win a Grammy, 1968. Some of Dottie's number one songs were Lesson in Leavin', Are You Happy, Baby?, What Are We Doin' in Love? Now, that was with Kenny Rogers. Now, Dottie and Kenny, they had a lot of hit songs together in the late 70s, early 80s. Now, her first husband, he was Bill West, and they had four children. Then one of them is country singer Shelly West. Now, after Bill and her divorce, she divorced two more times. Dottie, she died in 1991.

He was born in 1943 in Palestine, Texas. He was raised in Paris, Texas. Yeah, he still tours. Yeah, and he even lets out some new music here and there. He has shows scheduled all the way through next year. So I think the first time you could probably see him would be in 2027. Now, let's see, some of his biggest hits would probably be Paper Rosie, 14 Carat Mind, Shall I Come Home or Just Go Crazy, What You Don't Know Won't Hurt Her. Now, the band that backs up Gene, they've been with him since 1982. He married in 1961, and they have one son and one daughter.

7:03 You're a rich girl and you're going too far cause you know it don't matter anyway. You can rely on the old man's money. You can rely on the. Old man's money. It's a bitch girl, but it's gone too far cause you know it don't matter anyway. Say money, money won't get you too far, get you too far. Now the half of Hall and Oates that sang, Daryl Hall, he's 80. He was born in Pottstown, Pennsylvania in 1946. He got together with John Oates in 1970. They are the number one duo in music history. Sold over 80 million records. Some of their number one songs are Rich Girl, Kiss on My List, Private Eyes, I Can't Go for That, No Can Do. Now they broke up for good last year.

7:49 So Daryl, he's got an album out. I think he released it at the end of last year. But he's out touring and he's doing solo stuff now. I know he's coming to Denver on November 4th. You know what? I saw him in Oats like 40 years ago, so I think I'm good. Now, Daryl, he had a son from a really fun time, and then he divorced two women after that. Actress Joan Cusack is 64. She was born in New York City in 1962. She was raised in Evanston, Illinois, with her older sister, actress Ann Cusack, and her younger brother, John Cusack. Now, John and Joan, they've actually been in 10 movies together. Some of those are Class, 16 Candles, Say Anything, Gross Point Blank. Now, Joan, she's been nominated for two Oscars. for Working Girl and then In-N-Out. She got married in 1996 and they have two sons. Actor Luke Perry was born in Mansfield, Ohio in 1966. Best known for playing Dylan on the TV show Beverly Hills 90210. I guess he was on Riverside after that. Some of his movies were Eight Seconds, The Fifth Element, The Heist. He had a son and a daughter from his first wife. They divorced after 10 years.

8:51 And then his son, he's actually a professional wrestler. He goes by the name Jungle Boy. Now, Luke, he was engaged when he died in 2018 from a stroke. He's only 52 years old. Actress Jane Krakowski is 58. She was born in Parsippany, New York. She was 14. She was in her first movie. She played Cousin Vicky in National Lampoon's Vacation. Then she played Betty in Flintstones in Viva Las Vegas. Most known for TV, though, Ally McBeal, 30 Rock, The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. She's been hosting Name That Tune since 2021. Now, she was engaged once and had a son in... Yeah, she had a son from it. That was rapper Cardi B. She's 34. She was born in Manhattan, New York.

9:32 Cardi B, that. Is a take on Bacardi. You know the room. She first got known on the VH1 show Love and Hip Hop in New York. After two years, she left and sold 75 million records since then. She married rapper Offset, and I think that was like 2017, and they had three kids. Don't say what happened to Offset, but she's now pregnant with a fourth kid, and that's from an NFL wide receiver named Stephon Diggs. So, I don't know what the whole story is on that one. Maybe offsets divorce.

10:20 I don't know. All right. Our quote of the day is going to come from Red Fox. Here's a nice looking gentleman here. Class. Bougie. Sir, let me ask you a question. Did you ever fight and blame it on the dog? Red, he died today in 1991 at 68 years old. He said, I feel sorry for people who don't drink and do drugs. Someday they're going to be lying in a hospital wondering why they're dying. Okay. Well, thank you all for listening today. Don't forget to follow us on all you listen to us on.

11:04 I want to see you every chance I get But I'm scared that's too hard to believe I need to hear your heartbeat clearly Like it was always part of me. If you wanna take. It slow I need to think fast Find a better way of making everything lost. Forget about the rush Use a. Little time If you wanna come along Let me know that you're mine I've gotta let it out It's better than in I'm not about If I say it enough, maybe it will all come true. I tell myself this every day.

If you want to come along, let me know that you're mine. I've got to let it out. It's better than in. I'm not a mind reader when it comes to these things. If you're unsure, ask around. I know the answer hurts when it's lying on the ground, but You've got to let it out.
