0:19 Hi everyone, I am Jeff and welcome to History and Fact Toys About Today presented by Cool Media. Today's October the 3rd. Today is National Boyfriend Day. Now when National Girlfriend Day was created, it was a day for girls to spend with their girlfriends. Yeah, just have a fun day. But they didn't want to leave the guys out, so they also created a National Boyfriend Day. But, see, that didn't work. Guys, they're not going to admit to drinking beer and watching sports with their boyfriends. So the girls took the day back, and they made it a day where they could just dote on their boyfriends. Now, the term boyfriend was first used, that they know of anyway, in 1909. Now, the term dating, it didn't even start until 1920. See, before then, men, they weren't called boyfriend, they were called women's callers. And you weren't called dating, and the guy was called, he was calling on the girl.

1:22 So that's how it all started. Now, ladies, if you're married, yeah, your husband can be your boyfriend. So all you ladies just enjoy celebrating National Boyfriend Day. Okay, let's see what's going on in entertainment on October 3rd, back in 1960. And when the album was stringed along by the Kingston Trio, Connie Francis had the number one song with My Heart Has a Mind of Its Own. Somehow I can't dismiss No My love is gone. Cowboy Copa said the number one country song with Alabama.

2:04 I'm on my way. I'm going back to Alabama. Talk about the people have a whale of a time. Eating up the chicken and drinking their wine. I'm on my way. I'm going back. The number one book was Hawaii by James Michener. Top movie was Spartacus. A gladiator named Spartacus. He led a revolt against the Roman Empire. Stars Kirk Douglas, Lawrence Olivier, Tony Curtis. 1945, little 10-year-old Elvis Presley made his public singing debut. It was at the Mississippi-Alabama Fair and Dairy Show. See, Elvis, he had to stand on a chair in order to reach the microphone. Then he sang the song Old Shep. Now, we don't have a recording of 10-year-old Elvis singing notes yet, but we do have a recording of 21-year-old Elvis singing notes yet.

2:56 We grew. Okay, so you have to imagine Elvis singing that before his voice turned. Now, it was a talent contest. Elvis, he got fifth place. All right. What happened on October the 3rd? In the year 2333 BC, the state of Gojoseon, it was formed by Dengun Wangim. Now, you probably know that better as Korea. Yeah. Then when Korea split in 1948, Gojoseon, yeah, it's actually North Korea. 1789, President George Washington, he proclaimed that November 26th be a national day of Thanksgiving. No, not because of the pilgrims, but because the United Constitution had been passed by all the states. Wanted to celebrate it with a national holiday. Then today in 1863, President Abraham Lincoln, he declared that the last Thursday in November every year would be a national holiday. 1872, New York City, Bloomingdale's department store opened up. 1899, J.S. Thurman invented the first motor-driven vacuum cleaner. Now, he called it the pneumatic carpeting renovator. Now, this thing, it was gas-powered. It blew a jet of air into the carpet and then collected it in a dust receptacle. So I guess it'd be like a leaf blower with a bag on it. 1937, the Federal Marijuana Act had actually gone into effect on October 1st. That was the federal law that outlawed marijuana. Well,

4:27 two days later, Moses Baca became the first person to be popped for it. Now, ironically, the first person arrested for marijuana under federal law, he was from Denver, Colorado. Old Moses, he had to serve 18 months in Leavenworth Prison for one quarter of an ounce. 1952, Great Britain, they joined the United States and the Soviet Union as a nuclear power, detonated their first nuclear bomb on the Montebello Island off of Australia. Now, I'm sure you've all seen the movie or heard about the movie Black Hawk Down. But what the movie Black Hawk Down was about, that happened today in 1993. 18 U.S. soldiers were killed fighting in Mogadishu, Somalia. In 2003, Roy Horn of Siegfried and Roy, he was attacked by a tiger during their shows. Now, the audience, they didn't have to pay any extra money for it, but the shows were canceled after that. In 2018, in Edinburgh, Scotland, a bottle of 1926 Macallan Valerio Adami whiskey sold at auction for $ 1. 1 million, the most expensive whiskey ever sold. Now, we looked. No matter how hard you try, though, you really can't find any Jim Beam or Jack Daniels that cost you over $ 10, 000. .

5:31 It's your birthday. We're going to party like it's your birthday. We're going to sip a card. Like it's your birthday. And you know we don't give up. Because it's your birthday. All right, let's check out who was born on October the 3rd. About a working old summer just to try. To do the ballroom thing. Eddie Cochran, he was born in hourly Minnesota in 1938.

6:12 Now he was a good looking, clean cut rebel rocker. He started releasing music when he was 18. He had the ads, come on everybody, summertime blues, 20 flight rock, something else. In 1960, when he was 21, he was turning to England. Now, after the last show of the tour, he was in a taxi with four others. The taxi lost control and slammed into a concrete lamp. Everyone was really pretty messed up, but Eddie, he was the only one to die. Come on, baby Let's do the twist Come on, baby.

6:58 Chubby Checker is 84. He was born in Spring Gully, South Carolina in 1941. Grew up in Philadelphia. Of course, he's most known for the twist. You know, he's still doing it.

Then, yeah, they're still together. They have three kids. Now, Chubby, he had a daughter on the side. I don't know how he twisted out of that. Lindsey Buckingham. He sang lead on 52 of the songs for Fleetwood Mac. Most of their hits were pretty much what he sang. Lindsey was born in Palo Alto, California.

7:58 He's 77. 1974, Mick Fleetwood and John McVie. They were looking for new members for the band Fleetwood Mac. Came across Lindsey and his girlfriend Stevie Nicks singing in a coffee shop. They asked Lindsey if he'd join their band. He said, sure, but can I have to bring Stevie too? They said, okay. That was a good call. Since then, they've sold 120 million records. Now, Lindsey, he did leave in 1986, but he came back in 1998 until 2018. Now he just does solo stuff. Got married in 2000, and they have three daughters. One of the greatest guitarists of all time, Stevie Ray Vaughan. He was born in Dallas, Texas in 1954. He started out just going from band to band to band. Finally, he started his own band, Double Trouble. They hit in 1983. Biggest commercial hit song was what we played, Crossfire. But they were more of kind of a live and an album band than they were a radio band. Now, Stevie, he did a lot of stuff on the side you didn't even know about. Yeah, he actually played on the songs by David Bowie, Let's Dance, China Girl, and Modern Love. And he played on James Brown's song, Living in America. He did a bunch of that kind of stuff. So he wasn't just a good old blues rock guy. He did marry one time for nine years when they divorced. He died from a helicopter crash in 1990 at 35 years old. Then after he died, they discovered that he had recorded so much music in

9:30 his home recording studio. See, while he was alive, he only released six albums. But since he's died, they've released 12 albums. But now you're looking at me You're.

Then he went primetime on Melrose Place and went back to daytime for Bold and the Beautiful. Now, as a golfer, he has a zero handicap. So that means pretty much every time he enters a celebrity golf tournament, yeah, he usually wins it. He had a daughter from a fling.

10:26 Then he was married for 13 years, and they had two children. When I get high, get high on speed. I feel funny, got the drug for me in my heart. When I kick start.

Yeah, because she's been in all the scream movies. Actually, she's just filmed Scream 7. Oh, that's probably a spoiler at work. Yeah, there's going to be a Scream 7. She's also in The Panic and Skyscraper. She has twice divorced and has two sons with her current boyfriend. Actor Sean William Scott is 50. He was born at Cottage Grove, Minnesota in 1976.

Well, Steph out there in Nashville, she decides she wants to hear a song off the Grace and Great Christian Country Station. So, I guess there's no rule against it. So, we're going to play Annie Browsko's song, God Wings, for Steph out there in Nashville. You guys have an awesome day, and we'll talk tomorrow. Hello. Been seven long years to the day he called her home. I pulled that old six string out of the case.
