00:00:19.210 --> 00:00:22.789
Hello, I'm Jeff, and welcome to History and Factoids About Today.
2
00:00:22.809 --> 00:00:24.190
Today's September the 18th.
3
00:00:24.210 --> 00:00:29.839
I like mine with lettuce and tomato, pies, 57, and
4
00:00:29.899 --> 00:00:32.060
french fried potatoes.
5
00:00:32.460 --> 00:00:36.920
Big kosher pickle and a cold wrap farewell. Good God Almighty,
6
00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:38.060
which way.
7
00:00:37.659 --> 00:00:38.939
Do I steer from my.
8
00:00:52.829 --> 00:00:54.929
Today is National Cheeseburger Day.
9
00:00:57.009 --> 00:00:59.570
Who do you think the culinary geniuses were who decided
10
00:00:59.609 --> 00:01:01.950
to put cheese on a hamburger? Well, that would be
11
00:01:01.969 --> 00:01:05.250
the Humpty Dumpty Drive-In right here in Denver, Colorado. Now
12
00:01:05.290 --> 00:01:07.659
the building's still there, but it doesn't serve food anymore.
13
00:01:07.780 --> 00:01:10.000
It's just a memorial to the cheeseburger they created in
14
00:01:10.019 --> 00:01:14.129
the 1930s. Now today, everybody is having deals from all
15
00:01:14.150 --> 00:01:17.049
the fast food burger restaurants to the sit downs like
16
00:01:17.109 --> 00:01:18.530
Ruby Tuesday or Applebee's.
17
00:01:18.870 --> 00:01:19.170
You know what?
18
00:01:19.230 --> 00:01:21.950
Even Buffalo Wild Wings is having that. Yeah, I didn't
19
00:01:21.989 --> 00:01:23.810
know they sold cheeseburgers. I thought it was just Wild Wings.
20
00:01:23.849 --> 00:01:26.700
But no, they're actually giving away free cheeseburgers today. So
21
00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:29.340
enjoy a cheeseburger. Well, unless you're lactose intolerant, then I
22
00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:32.799
guess just a burger. What happened in entertainment on September
23
00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:36.099
the 18th back in 2018? Eminem had the number one
24
00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:38.719
album with Kamikaze. Drake had the number one song with
25
00:01:38.780 --> 00:01:39.430
In My Feelings.
26
00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:42.040
Kiki, do you love me?
27
00:01:42.500 --> 00:01:43.390
Are you riding?
28
00:01:43.750 --> 00:01:46.069
Say you'll never ever leave from beside me.
29
00:01:46.409 --> 00:01:48.709
Cause I want you and I need you.
30
00:01:49.090 --> 00:01:50.650
And I'm down for you always.
31
00:01:50.689 --> 00:01:53.930
KB, do you love me? Are you riding?
32
00:01:54.290 --> 00:01:57.310
Say you'll never ever leave from beside me. Cause I
33
00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:00.400
want you and I need you. And I'm down for
34
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:01.280
you always.
35
00:02:02.379 --> 00:02:04.819
Bebe Rexha and Florida Georgia Line, they had their number
36
00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:06.239
one country song with Meant to Be.
37
00:02:06.930 --> 00:02:11.180
I ain't gonna lie, ain't gonna lie. Cause I'm tired
38
00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:12.219
of the fake love.
39
00:02:12.259 --> 00:02:13.659
Show me what you're made of.
40
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:16.680
Boy, make me believe.
41
00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:20.099
Oh, hold up, girl. Don't you know you're beautiful? And
42
00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:25.270
it's easy to see. If it's meant to be, it'll be,
43
00:02:25.330 --> 00:02:28.210
it'll be. Baby, just let it be.
44
00:02:29.349 --> 00:02:31.530
The number one book was A House with a Clock
45
00:02:31.569 --> 00:02:33.900
in Its Walls. Now, did you see the other Predator
46
00:02:33.939 --> 00:02:37.060
movies back in the 80s and 90s? Well, in this one,
47
00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:40.599
back in 2018, a boy, he causes Predators to come
48
00:02:40.650 --> 00:02:44.469
back to Earth. Now some ragtag ex-soldiers have to unite
49
00:02:44.490 --> 00:02:47.270
in order to save the human race. Stars Boyd Halbrook,
50
00:02:47.509 --> 00:02:51.490
Trevon Rhodes, and Jacob Trimbley. All right, let's see what
51
00:02:51.509 --> 00:02:55.389
happened on September the 18th. 1793, the United States President
52
00:02:55.430 --> 00:02:58.180
George Washington, he laid the cornerstone for the U.S.
53
00:02:58.189 --> 00:02:58.849
Capitol building.
54
00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:03.020
Yeah, construction was beginning at Fort Washington, D.C., Now George
55
00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:06.159
should have known what to do. He was a Freemason.
56
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:09.120
1837 in New York City, Charles Tiffany and John Young,
57
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:13.539
they opened up the Stationarium Fancy Good Emporium. Their department store,
58
00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:18.000
it changes its name to Tiffany's in 1853. Now today,
59
00:03:18.139 --> 00:03:22.830
it's also National Chiropractic Day. Yeah, I don't know if
60
00:03:22.849 --> 00:03:25.349
you've been to a chiropractor, but sometimes you definitely want
61
00:03:25.370 --> 00:03:29.090
to yay. It was in Davenport, Iowa that Daniel Palmer,
62
00:03:29.129 --> 00:03:32.110
he opened it up in a magnetic healing office, basically.
63
00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:35.000
But it was today in 1895, a janitor was cleaning
64
00:03:35.060 --> 00:03:37.969
his office. And the janitor, he was pretty much deaf
65
00:03:38.030 --> 00:03:39.849
and he had a really bad back. And he met
66
00:03:39.870 --> 00:03:41.909
Palmer and they got to talking. He said that he
67
00:03:41.949 --> 00:03:43.469
heard a loud pop in his back and then he
68
00:03:43.490 --> 00:03:45.889
couldn't hear anymore. Well, Palmer kind of gave him a
69
00:03:45.930 --> 00:03:47.870
look over and noticed that his vertebrae were all out
70
00:03:47.889 --> 00:03:50.099
of line. So he cracked his back to try and
71
00:03:50.139 --> 00:03:51.419
straighten all those vertebrae out.
72
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:54.560
Next day, the janitor came in. Yeah, his back felt good.
73
00:03:54.659 --> 00:03:56.039
He was fine. And he could hear again.
74
00:03:56.939 --> 00:04:00.919
Yeah, that is considered the first world's first chiropractic adjustment. Now,
75
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:03.300
two years later, Palmer, he opened up a school. Yeah,
76
00:04:03.340 --> 00:04:07.469
they taught how to do chiropractic adjustments. World War II
77
00:04:07.490 --> 00:04:10.370
in 1944, the British submarine, the Tradewind, it torpedoed the
78
00:04:10.409 --> 00:04:14.349
Japanese ship, the Jungle Maru. Well, they sank it, and sadly,
79
00:04:14.990 --> 00:04:17.689
there was 5,600 people who died, but of those 5,600, 1,377
80
00:04:17.689 --> 00:04:20.189
of them were allied POWs, and 4,200 were just Japanese
81
00:04:20.230 --> 00:04:22.600
slave laborers. 1958, out in Fresno, California, the Bank of America,
82
00:04:30.300 --> 00:04:32.810
They married out 60,000 Bank of America cards. Yeah, to
83
00:04:32.819 --> 00:04:35.850
all the residents of Fresno. It's basically the first credit card,
84
00:04:35.889 --> 00:04:37.470
the real one. There were some around, but they weren't
85
00:04:37.509 --> 00:04:40.829
like the kind we use today. Then in 1976, they
86
00:04:40.870 --> 00:04:44.589
changed from Bank of America card to Visa. Momofuku Ando,
87
00:04:44.949 --> 00:04:46.990
we talked about him. He hit huge when he brought
88
00:04:47.029 --> 00:04:50.370
out ramen noodles. Today in 1971, yeah, he started selling
89
00:04:50.389 --> 00:04:52.250
cup of noodles. Yeah, those noodles that are in a
90
00:04:52.310 --> 00:04:55.120
styrofoam cup. Not as good as just ramen, but hey.
91
00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:55.720
In a pinch.
92
00:04:56.720 --> 00:04:59.519
On MTV today in 1893, the band Kiss, they played
93
00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:03.540
their first time in public without makeup. No one liked
94
00:05:03.579 --> 00:05:06.889
that at all. The band's popularity, it just bombed. A
95
00:05:06.910 --> 00:05:09.050
couple years later, they put the makeup back on. Yeah,
96
00:05:09.069 --> 00:05:11.310
and they were cool again. Kind of hurt your ego
97
00:05:11.350 --> 00:05:12.209
that nobody wanted.
98
00:05:11.990 --> 00:05:13.970
To see your face. 1990.
99
00:05:13.970 --> 00:05:16.050
Now, this might sound good, but to me, it sounds
100
00:05:16.069 --> 00:05:19.069
pretty gross. In Times Square in New York City, Hershey's.
101
00:05:19.189 --> 00:05:21.879
They put out a six-foot-tall, 500-pound Hershey's Kiss right in
102
00:05:21.899 --> 00:05:24.639
the middle. Now, with all the bugs and the homeless
103
00:05:24.660 --> 00:05:28.100
people walking around, I think that's kind of gross. In 2015,
104
00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:31.800
the government of Uttar Pradesh, India, they announced that 2.3
105
00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:35.079
million people had applied for 238 menial office jobs.
106
00:05:36.100 --> 00:05:42.180
Okay, who was born on September the 18th? Actress Greta Garbo.
107
00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:57.939
She was born in Stockholm, Sweden in 1905. Now, she
108
00:05:57.959 --> 00:06:00.319
did silent movies in the 20s. Then she did talkies
109
00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:03.040
in the 30s. Then she retired in 1941 at 36
110
00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:06.000
years old. She just got tired of acting. Now, she
111
00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:07.800
was one of the best actresses in all of the
112
00:06:07.879 --> 00:06:11.319
early Hollywood days. Now, Greta, she was definitely her own woman, though.
113
00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:14.230
She did not go to Hollywood parties. Now, she was
114
00:06:14.269 --> 00:06:16.250
nominated four times for Oscars. She didn't go to one
115
00:06:16.269 --> 00:06:18.870
of those ceremonies. She would not do interviews. She did
116
00:06:18.889 --> 00:06:22.370
not give autographs. She never married. She never had any kids. Now, Greta,
117
00:06:22.389 --> 00:06:25.329
she died in 1990 at 84 years old from kidney failure.
118
00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:29.379
Actor Jack Warden, he was born in Newark, New Jersey
119
00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:32.680
in 1920. He was nominated for two Oscars, for Shampoo
120
00:06:32.740 --> 00:06:35.879
and then Heaven Can Wait. He also did the movies
121
00:06:35.980 --> 00:06:39.339
And Justice for All, The Verdict, Bullets Over Broadway. He
122
00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:41.519
did win an Emmy Award for the TV movie Brian's Song.
123
00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:45.939
He acted from 1945 to 2000. Got married in 1958
124
00:06:45.939 --> 00:06:48.339
and they had one son. Jack died from kidney and
125
00:06:48.379 --> 00:06:52.939
liver failure in 2006 at 85 years old. Actor Robert Blake,
126
00:06:53.220 --> 00:06:56.350
he was born in Nutley, New Jersey in 1933. Started
127
00:06:56.449 --> 00:06:58.209
acting at six years old. He was in 40 Little
128
00:06:58.230 --> 00:07:01.250
Rascal movies. Then he did 22 Red Rider movies. They're
129
00:07:01.269 --> 00:07:03.939
still kids' movies. Now as an adult, his biggest success
130
00:07:03.980 --> 00:07:06.740
was starring on the TV show Beretta. He retired from
131
00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:10.459
acting in 1993. He divorced his first wife after 23 years.
132
00:07:10.939 --> 00:07:13.259
They had had a son and a daughter. Then he
133
00:07:13.300 --> 00:07:15.779
married his second wife in 2000. He was her 10th husband.
134
00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:17.060
They had one child.
135
00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:19.139
Now people close to him, they would claim that their
136
00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:20.879
marriage was pretty volatile and raucous.
137
00:07:21.300 --> 00:07:23.519
So much so, in 2002, Blake, he was arrested for
138
00:07:23.579 --> 00:07:23.930
killing her.
139
00:07:24.620 --> 00:07:27.420
Yeah, they... but he got off they found him not
140
00:07:27.459 --> 00:07:30.220
guilty but her three kids from her other 10 husbands
141
00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:31.839
they actually took him to court they sued him on
142
00:07:31.899 --> 00:07:34.240
civil charges there he was found guilty for killing her
143
00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:37.329
so he was ordered to pay 30 million bucks he
144
00:07:37.350 --> 00:07:39.009
didn't have 30 million bucks so he ended up just
145
00:07:39.110 --> 00:07:42.250
filing for bankruptcy he died in 2023 at 89 years
146

00:08:59.580 --> 00:09:00.320
of them.

00:09:15.230 --> 00:09:17.649
I ever thought. Just some of them are True Romance,

Cooper.

two seasons at the very end. She married former quarterback
188
00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:47.919
Rodney Pete in 1995, and they have four kids. That's
189
00:09:48.070 --> 00:09:51.350
why it's hard for me to find.
190
00:09:51.809 --> 00:09:57.960
Can't get it out of my head. It's her kiss,
191
00:09:58.000 --> 00:09:58.940
her lover.
192
00:09:58.980 --> 00:10:13.419
That girl. That is possibly the best advice any young
193
00:10:13.460 --> 00:10:16.100
man can receive. Never trust a big butt and a smile.
194
00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:18.960
That was Ricky Bell when he was singing with Bell Bivdevo.
195

Ricky's 59. He was born in Roxbury, Massachusetts. Started out
196
00:10:23.559 --> 00:10:26.480
in the group New Edition when they formed in 1978.
197
00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:28.879
Then when they broke up in 1989, him and Michael
198
00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:31.490
Bevins and Ronnie DeVoe, yep, they formed Bill Biv DeVoe.
199
00:10:32.029 --> 00:10:33.909
Then they went back to New Edition. Then they went
200
00:10:33.950 --> 00:10:36.809
back to Bill Biv DeVoe. Since 2002, yeah, they just
201
00:10:36.830 --> 00:10:37.289
do them both.
202
00:10:37.809 --> 00:10:40.500
Ricky, he married in 2004. I love your way.
203
00:10:41.340 --> 00:10:45.000
And now it opens you so wide. And I love
204
00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:45.460
this way.
205
00:10:59.690 --> 00:11:02.299
Now, that band is called Wicked Wisdom. Their lead singer
206
00:11:02.360 --> 00:11:05.720
is Jada Pinkett Smith. Yeah, Will Smith's wife. Yeah, she
207
00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:09.039
formed Wicked Wisdom in 2002. Yeah, she likes to rock.
208
00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:11.759
Back in the day in 2005, she toured with Ozzy.
209
00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:13.419
Yeah, that band did. Yeah, they did Ozfest.
210
00:11:14.110 --> 00:11:16.029
Now, Jada, she might be heavy metal, but I don't
211
00:11:16.049 --> 00:11:17.529
think you could call her a hairband singer.
212
00:11:18.210 --> 00:11:21.220
You're welcome, Chris Rock. Jada is 55.
213
00:11:21.210 --> 00:11:23.710
She was born in Baltimore. No more for acting, probably.
214
00:11:23.750 --> 00:11:26.799
Her first movie was Menace to Society, then The Nutty Professor.
215
00:11:27.059 --> 00:11:29.169
She did Scream 2. She was in two of the
216
00:11:29.190 --> 00:11:32.929
Matrix movies. Now she married Will Smith in 1997 and
217
00:11:32.950 --> 00:11:35.250
they have a son and a daughter. I don't think
218
00:11:35.289 --> 00:11:37.159
anybody knows if they're together or what they are. I
219
00:11:37.149 --> 00:11:38.580
don't even think they know, to be honest with you.
220
00:11:39.980 --> 00:11:45.320

I don't know.
226
00:11:57.379 --> 00:12:00.039
Maybe he wants everybody to think he can be sensitive, too. Now,
227
00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:01.820
he was married for 11 years when they divorced, and
228

230
00:12:04.899 --> 00:12:05.740
