00:00:19.160 --> 00:00:22.109
Hello, I am Jeff, and welcome to History and Factoids
2
00:00:22.140 --> 00:00:24.370
About Today. Today's September the 22nd.
3
00:00:24.989 --> 00:00:27.969
Everybody wants an ice cream cone.
4
00:00:29.710 --> 00:00:32.890
Now you can eat it from the sides, you can
5
00:00:32.969 --> 00:00:33.950
eat it from the top.
6
00:00:34.170 --> 00:00:36.820
You can lick it round and round like you're never
7
00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:37.719
gonna stop.
8
00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:38.719
You can eat it.
9
00:00:38.700 --> 00:00:41.020
In the morning, you can eat it in the night.
10
00:00:41.259 --> 00:00:42.859
You can eat it all at once.
11
00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:47.189
Or take a little bite.
12
00:00:48.229 --> 00:00:50.570
Today is the first day of fall, so why not
13
00:00:50.670 --> 00:00:55.570
celebrate with National Ice Cream Cone Day? Woo-hoo! Now, there
14
00:00:55.649 --> 00:00:58.270
is some controversy on who invented the ice cream cone.
15
00:00:58.770 --> 00:01:01.609
I'm going with the guy who made it the most popular. Now,
16
00:01:01.630 --> 00:01:04.250
I was at the St. Louis World's Fair in 1904. Now,
17
00:01:04.269 --> 00:01:06.359
this guy was selling ice cream, and he ran out
18
00:01:06.390 --> 00:01:09.159
of cups. The booth nipped through him. They were selling waffles.
19
00:01:09.219 --> 00:01:11.040
He went over and got some waffles and topped them
20
00:01:11.099 --> 00:01:11.840
up with some ice cream.
21
00:01:12.099 --> 00:01:12.560
Huge hit.
22
00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:15.719
Everybody wanted their ice cream and cones after that. Now,
23
00:01:15.819 --> 00:01:17.680
as I said, it is the first day of fall.
24
00:01:18.180 --> 00:01:20.599
So the Earth will have no tilt today. That's right,
25
00:01:20.659 --> 00:01:23.750
in respect with the sun. Our axis is not tilted
26
00:01:23.790 --> 00:01:27.189
towards or away from the sun. So technically, everybody on
27
00:01:27.209 --> 00:01:29.950
the planet should have a 12-hour day. 12 hours of
28
00:01:29.989 --> 00:01:32.870
sunlight and 12 hours of darkness. Doesn't quite work out, though.
29
00:01:32.930 --> 00:01:35.620
Some places, they're off by a couple minutes. Something to
30
00:01:35.659 --> 00:01:39.159
do with light refraction. But it's close. So enjoy some
31
00:01:39.260 --> 00:01:42.420
ice cream cones and celebrate the beginning of fall. Let's
32
00:01:42.500 --> 00:01:45.060
see what went on in entertainment on September the 22nd,
33
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:48.560
back in 1989. Number one album was Hanging Tough by
34
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:51.140
New Kids on the Block. Gloria Estefan had the number
35
00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:52.480
one song with Don't Wanna Lose You.
36
00:01:52.500 --> 00:02:01.790
I don't wanna lose you now We're gonna get through
37
00:02:01.950 --> 00:02:10.250
somehow Don't wanna lose you now.
38
00:02:10.870 --> 00:02:17.240
Forever Rodney Crowell had the Nirman Country song with Above
39
00:02:17.300 --> 00:02:17.759
and Beyond.
40
00:02:17.780 --> 00:02:22.439
Well, the poor boy's chances for a pretty girl's glances
41
00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:24.900
are sometimes very few.
42
00:02:25.500 --> 00:02:28.909
Though I've got no money, if you'll be my honey,
43
00:02:29.009 --> 00:02:30.169
here's what.
44
00:02:29.949 --> 00:02:34.210
I'll offer you. Guess I'll give you love.
45
00:02:41.419 --> 00:02:43.900
The number one book was Clear and Present Danger by
46
00:02:43.939 --> 00:02:47.080
Tom Clancy. Top movie was Black Rain. Two New York
47
00:02:47.139 --> 00:02:50.060
City cops, they arrest a Japanese mafia guy. Now they
48
00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:52.699
have to take him back to Japan. Stars Michael Douglas
49
00:02:52.740 --> 00:02:55.599
and Andy Garcia. All right, let's see what happened in
50
00:02:55.620 --> 00:02:59.800
the world on September the 22nd. In the year 66,
51
00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:03.919
Roman Emperor Nero, he formed the Legio I Italica. Now
52
00:03:03.979 --> 00:03:06.259
it was a legion of Roman soldiers where every soldier
53
00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:09.270
was over six feet tall. Now a legion, that's between 4,000
54
00:03:09.270 --> 00:03:16.139
and 6,000 soldiers. 1656 in Patatuxet County, Maryland. A court.
55
00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:19.500
They appointed an all-female jury. Yeah, the first time ever
56
00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:21.439
in the Americas that was done. Now, they were to
57
00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:24.680
hear the case of Judith Catchpole. See, Judith, she was
58
00:03:24.740 --> 00:03:27.099
accused of killing her baby and then hiding his body.
59
00:03:27.810 --> 00:03:30.870
Judith's defense was she never was pregnant and she had
60
00:03:30.909 --> 00:03:33.710
no baby. So, what they did is they had those
61
00:03:33.789 --> 00:03:36.569
ladies from the jury go into a room with Judith.
62
00:03:37.060 --> 00:03:38.939
They had her undressed, and as soon as she undressed,
63
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:41.960
the women all immediately knew unanimously, yeah, she didn't have
64
00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:44.729
a kid. So she got dressed, and everybody went home.
65
00:03:45.050 --> 00:03:49.330
The benefits of having an all-female jury. 1692, eight people
66
00:03:49.349 --> 00:03:52.710
were hung in Salem, Massachusetts for the Salem witch trials.
67
00:03:53.250 --> 00:03:55.560
That brought it up to 19 people being hung for
68
00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:58.599
being suspected of being witches. But that did it. The
69
00:03:58.680 --> 00:04:01.639
governor of Massachusetts, he had enough. He said, no more
70
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:04.280
witch trials. He said, anybody who holds another witch trial,
71
00:04:04.300 --> 00:04:06.729
they will be hung. Well, you know what he was doing.
72
00:04:06.770 --> 00:04:08.789
For some reason, there were no more witches in Massachusetts
73
00:04:08.849 --> 00:04:13.330
after that. Today in 1776, Patriot Nathan Hale was hung
74
00:04:13.370 --> 00:04:15.930
by the British in New York City. Yeah, they hung
75
00:04:15.949 --> 00:04:18.730
him for being a spy. Well, he was. But as
76
00:04:18.769 --> 00:04:20.649
they were putting the noose around his neck, that's when
77
00:04:20.769 --> 00:04:23.730
Nathan gave his famous last words. I only regret that
78
00:04:23.790 --> 00:04:26.829
I have only one life to lose for my country. Now,
79
00:04:26.860 --> 00:04:28.560
the British are the ones who wrote that down. No,
80
00:04:28.579 --> 00:04:30.639
it wasn't the Americans trying to start a rallying cry
81
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:32.819
or anything like that. There were no Americans around. It
82
00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:34.639
was just the British. Yeah, they're the ones who let
83
00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:38.490
it out that he said that. 1906, domestic workers, they
84
00:04:38.529 --> 00:04:42.430
were usually women who worked for crap money, but they
85
00:04:42.990 --> 00:04:46.170
worked in private homes. They did all the household chores,
86
00:04:46.230 --> 00:04:48.750
the cooking, the cleaning, and all that kind of stuff. Well,
87
00:04:48.769 --> 00:04:51.129
over in New Zealand, the domestic workers over there, they
88
00:04:51.149 --> 00:04:54.000
went on strike. They'd all gotten together. Now, what they
89
00:04:54.009 --> 00:04:56.339
were really asking for, they wanted to only work a
90
00:04:56.339 --> 00:04:59.220
68-hour work week. You know what? They did not get it.
91
00:05:00.170 --> 00:05:03.670
World War I in 1914, a German submarine sank three
92
00:05:03.709 --> 00:05:08.100
British Navy ships, killed 1,459 British soldiers. That was the
93
00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:10.279
first time in history that a submarine was able to
94
00:05:10.339 --> 00:05:14.300
sink one armored Navy ship, let alone three. 1922, the
95
00:05:14.339 --> 00:05:17.199
United States passed the Cable Act. Now, it said that
96
00:05:17.220 --> 00:05:20.120
an American woman who marries an illegal alien, she does
97
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:23.709
not lose her citizenship. And women marrying men, they do
98
00:05:23.750 --> 00:05:26.959
not get automatic citizenship. See, what it did, it reversed
99
00:05:26.980 --> 00:05:30.230
the law from 1907 in that if a woman married
100
00:05:30.250 --> 00:05:32.689
an illegal alien, yeah, she was no longer an American.
101
00:05:32.709 --> 00:05:37.230
She lost all right, then she was deported with her spouse. 1937,
102
00:05:37.230 --> 00:05:40.329
the first International Hobbit Day was celebrated. Yeah, they were
103
00:05:40.350 --> 00:05:44.629
celebrating the birthdays of Bilbo and Frodo Baggins. Now, they
104
00:05:44.649 --> 00:05:46.810
still do it. Yeah, but see, I wanted to celebrate
105
00:05:46.889 --> 00:05:48.800
ice cream cones. So if you're a Hobbit lover, you
106
00:05:48.810 --> 00:05:52.819
can party hard celebrating International Hobbit Day today. 1975 in
107
00:05:52.839 --> 00:05:57.149
San Francisco, a former Marine, He was watching President Gerald
108
00:05:57.180 --> 00:05:59.839
Ford as he was walking down the street, greeting people,
109
00:05:59.899 --> 00:06:02.040
shaking hands, doing all that kind of stuff. Then he
110
00:06:02.100 --> 00:06:06.899
noticed Sarah Jane Moore. Now, good thing Ford, she pulled
111
00:06:06.939 --> 00:06:08.100
out a gun and got ready to shoot. He hit
112
00:06:08.139 --> 00:06:10.720
her arm, so she missed Ford basically by six inches,
113
00:06:10.740 --> 00:06:15.779
I think. Well, the bullet actually did hit a cab driver, though,
114
00:06:15.860 --> 00:06:17.899
so he was wounded, but he was okay. Now, the
115
00:06:17.930 --> 00:06:20.449
Marine was named Billy Simple. He had served two tours
116
00:06:20.490 --> 00:06:23.149
of Vietnam. He was seriously wounded on the second tour.
117
00:06:23.750 --> 00:06:26.189
A true hero. Now, the reason that Sarah said she
118
00:06:26.230 --> 00:06:28.769
shot the president was she was blinded by her political views.
119
00:06:29.470 --> 00:06:31.870
They let her out of jail in 2007 after serving
120
00:06:31.870 --> 00:06:36.730
32 years. All right, on September 22nd, a whole bunch
121
00:06:36.750 --> 00:06:41.029
of TV shows debuted. So here they are. 1957, Maverick,
122
00:06:41.230 --> 00:06:45.029
the star of James Gardner, it debuted. 1976, Charlie's Angels
123
00:06:45.069 --> 00:06:49.930
came on the air. 1982, Family Ties. 1987, Full House. 1989, Baywatch. 1994, Friends. 1999,
124
00:06:55.209 --> 00:06:59.550
West Wing. 2003, Two and a Half Men. 2004, Lost.
125
00:06:59.670 --> 00:07:03.949
And in 2009, NCIS Los Angeles. All those debuted today
126
00:07:03.970 --> 00:07:04.629
throughout history.
127
00:07:05.629 --> 00:07:09.459
Okay, let's see who was born on September the 22nd.
128
00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:10.279
Ellen Church.
129
00:07:24.350 --> 00:07:28.149
She was born in Cresco, Iowa in 1904. In 1930, Ellen,
130
00:07:28.170 --> 00:07:31.069
she became the first female flight attendant. Now it was
131
00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:34.329
a flight from San Francisco to Chicago. Flight took 20
132
00:07:34.329 --> 00:07:38.040
hours and made 13 stops along the way. Now, Ellen,
133
00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:40.240
she was a registered nurse. She wanted to be a pilot,
134
00:07:40.300 --> 00:07:41.980
but of course they wouldn't let her, so it was
135
00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:44.360
a flight attendant or nothing. Now, of course, Ellen was
136
00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:46.740
the first, but here are the qualifications that she and
137
00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:48.660
the other girls had to meet in order to be
138
00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:51.639
a flight attendant. You had to be a woman. You
139
00:07:51.660 --> 00:07:54.180
had to be a registered nurse. You had to be single.
140
00:07:55.050 --> 00:07:57.129
You had to be under 25 years old to start with,
141
00:07:57.850 --> 00:08:00.029
and you had to weigh less than 115 pounds, and
142
00:08:00.050 --> 00:08:02.870
you couldn't be taller than 5'4. And also, you had
143
00:08:02.889 --> 00:08:05.149
to help refuel the plane, and you had to help
144
00:08:05.189 --> 00:08:07.779
push the plane in and out of the hangar. But
145
00:08:07.819 --> 00:08:10.000
those girls did make a lot of money, especially for
146
00:08:10.040 --> 00:08:13.600
that time period for women. 18 months after Ellen's first flight, yeah,
147
00:08:13.620 --> 00:08:14.879
she was in a car crash, so she had to
148
00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:18.230
retire from being a flight attendant. So she got married. Now, Ellen,
149
00:08:18.250 --> 00:08:20.310
she was killed in 1965 when she was thrown in
150
00:08:20.329 --> 00:08:24.259
front of a horse, 60 years old. Mountain climber Junko Tubei.
151
00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:27.860
She was born in Maharaju, Japan in 1939. She was
152
00:08:27.879 --> 00:08:29.519
kind of a sickly kid, but then when she was 10,
153
00:08:29.500 --> 00:08:32.559
she started climbing. By 1975, she was the first woman
154
00:08:32.580 --> 00:08:35.610
to summit Mount Everest. 1992, she was the first woman
155
00:08:35.620 --> 00:08:38.309
to climb all seven summits. That means she climbed the
156
00:08:38.789 --> 00:08:41.950
highest mountain in every continent. She married, had two kids.
157
00:08:41.970 --> 00:08:45.190
In 2012, she was diagnosed with stomach cancer. Four years later,
158
00:08:45.210 --> 00:08:46.870
she led a youth group up to the summit of
159
00:08:46.889 --> 00:08:49.639
Mount Fuji over there in Japan. That cancer got her
160
00:08:49.659 --> 00:08:51.840
just a couple months later. She was 77 years old
161
00:08:51.879 --> 00:08:55.000
back in 2016. Now this is cool. They have named
162
00:08:55.039 --> 00:08:57.919
an asteroid after and the mountain range on Pluto.
163
00:08:58.120 --> 00:08:58.320
Yeah.
164
00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:21.629
It's named after her too. That's Tony Basil. She's 83.
165
00:09:21.629 --> 00:09:24.809
She's born in Philadelphia. She grew up in Las Vegas. Now,
166
00:09:24.870 --> 00:09:27.649
as a singer, she is considered a one-hit wonder. For
167
00:09:27.669 --> 00:09:29.889
that song, Mickey, obviously, that's all you know, right? But
168
00:09:29.950 --> 00:09:33.080
as a dancer and choreographer, she is a legend. Some
169
00:09:33.100 --> 00:09:35.580
of the people that she worked for, or with anyway,
170
00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:40.480
David Bowie, Elvis, Sinatra, Bette Midler, the Talking Heads, the Muppets.
171
00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:44.450
Some of them. Now, she was a cheerleader in high school. Actually,
172
00:09:44.470 --> 00:09:46.450
she was a head cheerleader. So when you see the
173
00:09:46.509 --> 00:09:49.870
video for the song Mickey, that very first trick they
174
00:09:49.909 --> 00:09:52.360
do where they jump through the middle of the pyramid, Yep,
175
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:56.230
that is banned from all cheerleading competitions. Too many kids,
176
00:09:56.269 --> 00:09:58.779
they were getting really hurt trying to mimic that trick.
177
00:10:00.899 --> 00:10:04.440
In the still of the.
178
00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:12.539
Night In the still of the.
179
00:10:12.340 --> 00:10:21.950
Night David Coverdale, he is the lead singer for the

00:10:22.009 --> 00:10:24.570
band Whitesnake. Yeah, he still is. I mean, he retired
181
00:10:24.610 --> 00:10:27.409

182
00:10:27.450 --> 00:10:30.289

183
00:10:30.309 --> 00:10:35.779

184
00:10:35.799 --> 00:10:37.200
he started out as the lead singer for the band
185
00:10:37.220 --> 00:10:39.419
Deep Purple. Now, he's in the Rock and Roll Hall
186
00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:42.080

187
00:10:42.100 --> 00:10:45.700
Whitesnake in 1978. He had a daughter from his first wife.
188
00:10:45.799 --> 00:10:48.330
His second wife was Tawny Katayne. They were only married
189
00:10:48.370 --> 00:10:50.759

190
00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:51.460
and they have a son.
191
00:10:52.340 --> 00:10:54.940
I'm too sexy for my car.
192
00:10:55.059 --> 00:10:56.720
Too sexy for my car.
193
00:10:56.759 --> 00:10:59.200
Too sexy by far.
194
00:11:00.139 --> 00:11:03.889
And I'm too sexy for my hat. Too sexy for
195
00:11:03.929 --> 00:11:04.509
my hat.
196
00:11:04.629 --> 00:11:08.309
What you think about that?
197
00:11:08.450 --> 00:11:09.509
I'm a mom.
198
00:11:09.809 --> 00:11:10.990
You know what I mean.
199
00:11:11.389 --> 00:11:14.509
And I do my little turn on the catwalk.
200
00:11:15.590 --> 00:11:18.789
That was Richard Fairbath singing for Right Said Fred. He
201
00:11:18.809 --> 00:11:23.149
still does. Yeah, they're still together. They even released new music,
202
00:11:23.200 --> 00:11:26.279
and they're touring England right now. Yeah, they're really popular
203
00:11:26.299 --> 00:11:30.000
over there. Richard is 73, and he was born in Kingston-upon-Thames, England.
204
00:11:30.659 --> 00:11:32.960
Him and his brother Fred, they started Right Said Fred
205
00:11:33.059 --> 00:11:35.960
in 1989. I'm Too Sexy is the only song that
206
00:11:35.980 --> 00:11:38.539
they had that was popular in the States, but obviously
207
00:11:38.559 --> 00:11:41.610
they were big in England. Sold over 50 million albums. Now,
208
00:11:41.649 --> 00:11:43.929
before Wright said Fred, Richard, he played guitar. He did
209
00:11:43.950 --> 00:11:46.909
it for David Bowie and then Boy George. Richard is gay.
210
00:11:47.070 --> 00:11:50.299
In 2007 in Moscow, him and his partner, they were
211
00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:53.200
at a gay rights rally. Well, they got the living
212
00:11:53.320 --> 00:11:55.279
crap beat out of them by some people who didn't
213
00:11:55.299 --> 00:11:58.679
think the gays deserved any rights. So Richard and his partner, yeah,
214
00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:00.419
they were the ones who got arrested and thrown into jail.
215
00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:03.289
But then you fast forward to today. Richard, he is
216
00:12:03.350 --> 00:12:07.610
a big supporter of Vladimir Putin. Yeah, he supports Putin
217
00:12:07.629 --> 00:12:09.889
in the war against the Ukraine. He thinks Putin is
218
00:12:09.909 --> 00:12:11.809
a great man for standing up against all those in
219
00:12:11.830 --> 00:12:13.889
the West who are trying to get him. Go figure.
220
00:12:36.049 --> 00:12:40.950
That was legendary singer Pat Boone's daughter, Debbie Boone. She's 70.
221
00:12:40.950 --> 00:12:44.080
She's born in Hackensack, New Jersey. Now, Debbie hit huge

00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:52.779
Won every award you can possibly think. Only song that
225
00:12:52.820 --> 00:12:55.529
she ever had go hit on the pop chart. After that,
226
00:12:55.570 --> 00:12:57.750
she went to the country charts. But she's actually spent
227
00:12:57.789 --> 00:12:59.230

228
00:12:59.250 --> 00:13:02.470

she was Rosemary Clooney. Yeah, Debbie and Rosemary, they even
232
00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:15.899
did a Christmas album together. Now, Debbie and Gabriel, they've
233
00:13:15.919 --> 00:13:17.580
written a lot of books together. Most of them are
234
00:13:17.620 --> 00:13:20.080
