00:00:24.350 --> 00:00:27.850
I love to eat chicken pot pie. I love to

00:00:27.910 --> 00:00:31.410

5
00:00:31.429 --> 00:00:35.189
Give me some chicken pot pie. Oh, yeah, chicken pot pie.

6
00:00:35.570 --> 00:00:39.090
I'll eat it till the day I die. I really

7
00:00:39.130 --> 00:00:43.090
love the crust. You must, you must, you must try.

8
00:00:43.979 --> 00:00:46.740
Today is National Great American Pot Pie Day.

9
00:00:46.759 --> 00:00:47.320
Woo-hoo!

10
00:00:48.689 --> 00:00:51.750
Pot pies, they've been around since ancient Rome. Now, every

11
00:00:51.789 --> 00:00:54.350
culture in the world has some kind of pot pie,

12
00:00:54.469 --> 00:00:56.850
their own version of it. That's why we're celebrating the

13
00:00:56.869 --> 00:01:01.329
great American pot pie today. Woo-hoo! Now, it is fall

14
00:01:01.390 --> 00:01:04.379
officially now, so it's getting a little chillier. So pot pies,

15
00:01:04.390 --> 00:01:05.900
they kind of taste a little better when it gets

16
00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:09.260
a little colder. That flaky crust filled with chicken, beef,

17
00:01:09.340 --> 00:01:11.819
or pork, and all those vegetables and gravy, yeah, that's

18
00:01:11.859 --> 00:01:14.299
a good eating. Not really any deals going on today.

19
00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:17.750
That's okay. Just enjoy your pot pie today. Let's see

20
00:01:17.780 --> 00:01:20.439
what happened in entertainment on September the 23rd. Let's back

21
00:01:20.459 --> 00:01:23.760
to 1979. Number one album was In Through the Outdoor

22
00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:26.200
by Led Zeppelin. The Knack had the number one song

23
00:01:26.219 --> 00:01:27.040
with My Sharona.

24
00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:30.780
Oh, my little pretty one, my pretty one.

25
00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:33.659
When you gonna give me some.

26
00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:53.420
Time, Sharona? John Williams had the number one country song

27
00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:54.420
with It Must Be Love.

28
00:01:55.219 --> 00:02:04.099
It must be love. I fall like a sparrow, fly

29
00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:08.430
like a dove. You must be the dream I've been

30
00:02:08.469 --> 00:02:13.750
dreaming of. Oh, what a feeling, it must be love.

31
00:02:15.050 --> 00:02:17.939
The number one selling book was The Last Enchantment by

32
00:02:17.979 --> 00:02:22.520
Mary Stewart. Top movie was Apocalypse Now. It's over in Vietnam.

33
00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:25.319
United States Army officer. He has to go kill a

34
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:28.180
special forces colonel who's gone crazy. Yeah, the colonel thinks

35
00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:31.830
he's God. Stars Marlon Brando, Robert Duvall, and Martin Sheen.

36
00:02:31.889 --> 00:02:35.050
Lawrence Fishburne, Harrison Ford, Dennis Hopper. Yeah, there were a

37
00:02:35.069 --> 00:02:39.270
lot in that movie. Back in 1962, ABC aired their

38
00:02:39.310 --> 00:02:42.310
first TV series that was in color. It was The Jetsons.

39
00:02:42.789 --> 00:02:45.750
I know. So do you know what year the Jetsons

40
00:02:45.810 --> 00:02:46.110
lived in?

41
00:02:46.110 --> 00:02:46.949
2062.

42
00:02:46.949 --> 00:02:50.169
So we have like 37 years before we get to

43
00:02:50.189 --> 00:02:54.500
the Jetson time. All right, what happened on September the 23rd? Well,

44
00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:58.300
let's start off with the largest, most extravagant feast that

45
00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:02.960
they held during medieval times. It was in 1387 in London, England.

46
00:03:03.500 --> 00:03:06.229
Now they held it to celebrate King Richard II and

47
00:03:06.270 --> 00:03:08.780
Prince John of Gaunt. Now, I don't know how many

48
00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:12.000
people were there to eat, but they served 14 oxen,

49
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:16.409
120 sheep, 1,200 pigeons, and 11,000 eggs. That's a lot

50
00:03:16.430 --> 00:03:22.110
of food. 1779, American Revolution. United States Navy Commander John

51
00:03:22.150 --> 00:03:26.430
Paul Jones. He was on the U.S. ship, the Bonheim Richard. Now,

52
00:03:26.490 --> 00:03:30.229
he was taking on the much bigger, a lot more gun,

53
00:03:30.590 --> 00:03:32.969
more manned. Yeah, it was a superior ship. It was

54
00:03:33.030 --> 00:03:35.870
a British Navy ship called the Serapis. Well, after they

55
00:03:35.930 --> 00:03:40.909
exchanged fire for about three hours. Now, the United States ship, yeah,

56
00:03:40.969 --> 00:03:43.169
it was no match for that Serapis. It was burning

57
00:03:43.189 --> 00:03:45.430
and it was starting to sink and everything. The British

58
00:03:45.469 --> 00:03:48.530
yelled out, are you ready to surrender? Jones yelled back,

59
00:03:48.610 --> 00:03:51.460
I have not yet begun to fight. Then he lassoed

60
00:03:51.469 --> 00:03:54.000
the Serapis and he was able to thrash his ship

61
00:03:54.030 --> 00:03:55.740
to it. Then a couple of his men threw a

62
00:03:55.740 --> 00:03:57.379
bunch of grenades on the deck. And when they went off,

63
00:03:57.460 --> 00:03:59.060
him and all his men, they jumped on the deck

64
00:03:59.139 --> 00:04:02.240
and basically the British all surrendered. So he cut his

65
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:04.840
ship loose and let it sink. And then he just

66
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:07.159
sailed away on his new British warship with all his

67
00:04:07.180 --> 00:04:11.370
British prisoners. 1806, after three years, Lewis and Clark, yep,

68
00:04:11.409 --> 00:04:14.009
they got back to St. Louis today after their expedition

69
00:04:14.050 --> 00:04:17.490
to the Pacific Ocean. Now, over the years, a lot

70
00:04:17.509 --> 00:04:20.860
of astronomers had predicted that it existed, but no one

71
00:04:20.899 --> 00:04:25.800
could actually prove it until 1846. German astronomer Johann Gale,

72
00:04:26.459 --> 00:04:29.100
he found Neptune. That's right, our eighth planet. Yeah, he

73
00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:33.050
found it finally. Neptune didn't know Neptune. It takes 165

74
00:04:33.050 --> 00:04:35.550
Earth years to orbit the sun one time. So why

75
00:04:35.569 --> 00:04:39.930
did so many astronomers actually think Neptune existed? Well, they

76
00:04:39.949 --> 00:04:45.060
saw a little wiggle in Uranus. Funny, but it's true. 1875,

77
00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:46.879
Billy the Kid, he was arrested for the first time.

78
00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:49.560
He was 15 years old. He had stolen some clothing

79
00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:52.839
from a Chinese laundry in Silver City, New Mexico. He

80
00:04:52.860 --> 00:04:56.149
escaped two days later out of their jail. Japan in 1889,

81
00:04:56.149 --> 00:04:57.250
Nintendo was formed.

82
00:04:57.410 --> 00:04:57.670
Yeah.

83
00:04:58.069 --> 00:05:02.509
Fujimiro Yamiachi. He basically started the company to make and

84
00:05:02.550 --> 00:05:05.769
sell playing cards. They made their first video game in 1975. 1897,

85
00:05:05.769 --> 00:05:12.069
up in Cheyenne, Wyoming, they held the first Frontier Days Rodeo.

86
00:05:12.410 --> 00:05:15.930
Now it's the world's largest outdoor rodeo. So next summer,

87
00:05:15.949 --> 00:05:18.550
it'll be between July 17th and the 26th. So if

88
00:05:18.569 --> 00:05:21.290
you're into carnivals, country music, and rodeo, yeah, it's something

89
00:05:21.310 --> 00:05:25.819
you should probably check out at least once. 1932, Abdulaziz

90
00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:28.620
Ibn Sa'd. Now, he decided he was going to combine

91
00:05:28.670 --> 00:05:30.589
his two kingdoms. He had one that was called Najd.

92
00:05:30.970 --> 00:05:32.990
The other one was called Hijaz. So he merged them

93
00:05:33.029 --> 00:05:37.589
all into one kingdom, Saudi Arabia. Now, in 1932, Saudi Arabia,

94
00:05:37.689 --> 00:05:39.889
it was poor. It was one of the poorest countries

95
00:05:39.930 --> 00:05:42.920
in the entire world. Then in 1938, an American oil

96
00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:45.800
company discovered oil there. Yeah, they weren't poor anymore.

97
00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:52.959
Okay, he was born on September the 23rd. Robert Bosch.

98
00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:55.600
He was born in Albright, Germany in 1861. So what

99
00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:59.420
did Robert do? Well, in 1902, he invented the spark plug. Now,

100
00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:02.319
that might not seem like very much.

101
00:06:15.329 --> 00:06:18.579
But without the spark plug, there is no internal combustion engine.

102
00:06:19.139 --> 00:06:22.579
So Robert died in 1942, a very, very, very rich

103
00:06:22.620 --> 00:06:26.500
man at 80 years old. A personal cook. She was

104
00:06:26.540 --> 00:06:30.480
named Mary Mallon. She was born in Cookstown, Ireland in 1869.

105
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:34.569
I just got that. Now, she came to America when

106
00:06:34.589 --> 00:06:36.529
she was 15 years old. Now, she was a very

107
00:06:36.589 --> 00:06:40.170
successful private cook, well-known. She had cooked for a bunch

108
00:06:40.189 --> 00:06:42.949
of rich people all over town in their houses. But

109
00:06:43.009 --> 00:06:46.209
she became a lot more famous for being typhoid Mary. Yeah,

110
00:06:46.430 --> 00:06:48.810
when she was cooking in people's homes, she actually infected

111
00:06:48.850 --> 00:06:52.110
at least 122 people that they know for positive that

112
00:06:52.129 --> 00:06:55.170
she gave typhoid fever to. Now, she never got sick. No,

113
00:06:55.550 --> 00:06:57.189
never got sick from it. She was just a carrier.

114
00:06:57.730 --> 00:06:59.750
And they know at least three kids died from typhoid

115
00:06:59.769 --> 00:07:01.579
fever that she had given them. I think up to

116
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:03.740
possibly 50 people may have died from her, but they

117
00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:06.459
can't prove it all for sure. Well, they finally had

118
00:07:06.500 --> 00:07:08.720
to put Mary away. They locked her up and quarantined

119
00:07:08.740 --> 00:07:10.480
her for 30 years. Yeah, she was locked up by

120
00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:14.920
herself until she died at 69 years old in 1938. No,

121
00:07:15.019 --> 00:07:16.709
not from typhoid. I told you she never got it.

122
00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:20.420
She died from a stroke. Actor Mickey Rooney. He was

123
00:07:20.459 --> 00:07:23.259
born in New York City in 1920. Started acting at

124
00:07:23.300 --> 00:07:25.740
three years old. He was in his prime when he

125
00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:28.589
was between 15 and 25. That 10 years, he made

126
00:07:28.589 --> 00:07:30.649
43 movies. When he was 19, he was actually the

127
00:07:30.670 --> 00:07:33.810
first teen major nominated for an Oscar. He acted for

128
00:07:33.810 --> 00:07:37.589
90 years, made almost 300 movies. Now Mickey's leading good

129
00:07:37.649 --> 00:07:40.230
man looks and his strapping five foot two frame made

130
00:07:40.250 --> 00:07:43.120
him a favorite of the ladies. He was married eight times.

131
00:07:43.589 --> 00:07:45.829
Now he was married to his eighth wife for 34 years.

132
00:07:46.370 --> 00:07:48.569
Now he had nine kids scattered out between all them wives.

133
00:07:49.180 --> 00:07:51.230
Mickey died from natural causes in 2014 at 93 years old.

134
00:07:53.589 --> 00:07:57.269
Ray Charles is born in Albany, Georgia in 1930. And

135
00:07:57.329 --> 00:08:01.819
by the time he was seven, he was completely blind.

136
00:08:01.860 --> 00:08:22.910
Yeah, they think he had glaucoma. So they sent him

137
00:08:22.930 --> 00:08:24.550
to a school for the blind. When he was 14,

138
00:08:24.529 --> 00:08:26.980
he left the school. He went out and played piano

139
00:08:27.149 --> 00:08:30.879
for $ 4 a night in the clubs. From 1958 to 1990,

140
00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:34.659
Ray charted 80 songs. Now, that's only behind Elvis' 108

141
00:08:34.659 --> 00:08:38.200
and James Brown's 101. They only charted more during that

142
00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:40.320
time than Ray did. Some of his hits are Hit

143
00:08:40.340 --> 00:08:43.710
the Road, Jack, George on My Mind, What I Said. Now,

144
00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:46.029
Ray said he lost his virginity at 12 years old.

145
00:08:46.429 --> 00:08:50.259
Didn't see it coming. That was bad. Now, he must

146
00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:52.019
have really liked it, though. He ended up having 12

147
00:08:52.019 --> 00:08:55.220
kids from nine different women. Ray, he died in 2004

148
00:08:55.220 --> 00:08:56.590
at 73 years old from liver failure.

149
00:08:57.330 --> 00:08:59.990
Told the girl what I want.

150
00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:23.740
Before That is Julio Iglesias. He's 83. He was born

151
00:09:23.779 --> 00:09:27.399
in Madrid, Spain in 1943. He is a best-selling Latin

152
00:09:27.460 --> 00:09:30.629
artist of all time. Sold over 150 million records. 14

153
00:09:30.629 --> 00:09:33.750
different languages. Now he started out as a professional soccer player. Yeah,

154
00:09:33.769 --> 00:09:35.950
he was a goalie. He did okay, but after four

155
00:09:35.990 --> 00:09:41.100
years he quit soccer and started performing full-time. Performed over 5,000

156
00:09:41.100 --> 00:09:43.899
concerts in front of 60 million people on five different continents.

157
00:09:44.860 --> 00:09:46.500

Green-eyed lady.

162
00:10:00.460 --> 00:10:07.669
Lovely lady Strolling slowly towards.

00:10:07.169 --> 00:10:21.210
The sun Soothing every raging wave that comes.

164

Only 2% of all the women in the world have

165
00:10:24.610 --> 00:10:27.370

Jerry died from Pick's disease in 2010 at 68 years old.

173
00:10:52.529 --> 00:10:54.870
It's a type of dementia, kind of like Alzheimer's.

174
00:10:56.269 --> 00:10:59.610
Like a river that don't know where it's flown.
