00:00:18.300 --> 00:00:20.980
Hi, I am Jeff, and welcome to History and Factoids

2
00:00:21.019 --> 00:00:23.670
About Today, presented by Cool Media. Today's September the 5th.

3
00:00:24.250 --> 00:00:28.609
I would do anything for pizza. I love to, love

4
00:00:28.649 --> 00:00:33.939
to eat pizza. I love my pizza with extra cheese.

5
00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:39.100
I love my pizza with extra sauce. I love my

6
00:00:39.159 --> 00:00:45.009
pizza with extra dough. No day could be considered a loss.

7
00:00:46.020 --> 00:00:49.299
Today is National Cheese Pizza Day. It might be a

8
00:00:49.299 --> 00:00:51.789
little basic and a little simple, but sometimes just a

9
00:00:51.829 --> 00:00:54.250
slice of cheese pizza can really hit the spot. 1905

10
00:00:54.250 --> 00:00:57.429
in New York City, Lombardi's, they became the first pizzeria

11
00:00:57.450 --> 00:00:58.070
in the United States.

12
00:00:58.329 --> 00:00:58.770
Still there.

13
00:00:59.490 --> 00:01:02.030
There's a lot of deals today. Some of them are CeCe's,

14
00:01:02.149 --> 00:01:05.739
Chuck E. Cheese, Fazoli's, Marco's, Papa John's, pretty much anywhere

15
00:01:05.780 --> 00:01:09.219
you go. So enjoy. It was 2021, three chefs over

16
00:01:09.239 --> 00:01:11.760
in France. They set a record. Yep, they put 834

17
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:15.319
different types of cheese on their pizza. Well, I called BS,

18
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:17.140
and then I found out there are actually 1,800 types

19
00:01:17.189 --> 00:01:20.060
of cheese. Let's see what the kids are doing for

20
00:01:20.109 --> 00:01:24.310
entertainment on September 5th in 1966. The number one album

21
00:01:24.370 --> 00:01:26.650
was What Now, My Love by Herb Albert and the

22
00:01:26.689 --> 00:01:30.370
Tijuana Brass. Donovan had the number one song with Sunshine Superman.

23
00:01:31.890 --> 00:01:36.810
It'll take time, I know it But in a while

24
00:01:37.409 --> 00:01:43.129
You're gonna be mine, I know it We'll do it

25
00:01:43.209 --> 00:01:49.810
in style. Cause I've made my mind up. You're going

26
00:01:49.870 --> 00:01:51.290
to be mine.

27
00:01:52.129 --> 00:01:54.329
Jack Green had the number one country song with There

28
00:01:54.359 --> 00:01:55.230
Goes My Everything.

29
00:01:56.739 --> 00:02:02.859
There goes the one of my dreams.

30
00:02:04.980 --> 00:02:07.959
There goes my only.

31
00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:21.949
The number one book was Valley of the Dolls by

32
00:02:21.990 --> 00:02:25.610
Jacqueline Suzanne. The top movie was Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

33
00:02:26.330 --> 00:02:28.270
A professor and his wife, they use a lot of

34
00:02:28.349 --> 00:02:32.150
alcohol to really mess with their party guests. Stars Elizabeth Taylor,

35
00:02:32.210 --> 00:02:35.680
Richard Burton, and George Segal. All right, what happened on

36
00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:40.800
September the 5th? 1698, in Russia, their czar, Peter the Great,

37
00:02:41.060 --> 00:02:43.560
he put a tax on all men's beards. I know

38
00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:45.319
what you're thinking. Why wouldn't the guys just shave them off?

39
00:02:45.620 --> 00:02:48.680
That's what he wanted. Peter the Great hated beards. So

40
00:02:48.740 --> 00:02:50.580
if you didn't even pay that tax, the police were

41
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:53.590
ordered to forcibly shave you. But if you paid the tax,

42
00:02:53.659 --> 00:02:55.810
you got this little token to carry with you. And yep,

43
00:02:55.849 --> 00:03:00.590
you could keep your beard. That tax lasted until 1772. 1774,

44
00:03:00.590 --> 00:03:03.169
the Continental Congress met for the first time at Carpenter's

45
00:03:03.210 --> 00:03:06.169
Hall in Philadelphia. 12 of the 13 colonies sent delegates.

46
00:03:06.289 --> 00:03:09.650
Georgia didn't. Now, Peyton Rudolph, he was elected the first

47
00:03:09.729 --> 00:03:12.810
president of the Continental Congress. Now, he was from Virginia,

48
00:03:12.930 --> 00:03:15.650
and for trivia purposes, technically he was the first president

49
00:03:15.669 --> 00:03:18.310
of the United States, but he wasn't the first elected

50
00:03:18.370 --> 00:03:19.909
president of the United States, and that's kind of what

51
00:03:19.930 --> 00:03:23.990
we go by. During the American Revolution that followed in 1781,

52
00:03:23.990 --> 00:03:26.449
a French fleet of 24 ships, they defeated the British

53
00:03:26.509 --> 00:03:29.520
Navy really bad in the Battle of Chesapeake Bay, It

54
00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:32.840
left British General Cornwallis stranded in Virginia. Yeah, he wasn't

55
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:33.900
able to escape from Yorktown.

56
00:03:34.419 --> 00:03:35.120
Ended up surrendering.

57
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:40.189
That's what ended the American Revolution. 1836, after defeating Mexico

58
00:03:40.219 --> 00:03:42.870
for their independence, the Republic of Texas, they elected Sam

59
00:03:42.889 --> 00:03:47.509
Houston their first president. 1889, Germany's Christine Hart. She invented

60
00:03:47.550 --> 00:03:52.020
the first modern brassiere. Poor bro. In 1906, St. Louis

61
00:03:52.060 --> 00:03:55.680
University quarterback Bradbury Robinson. He threw the first forward pass

62
00:03:55.699 --> 00:03:57.780
in the history of American football. He was able to

63
00:03:57.800 --> 00:03:59.580
complete it to Jack Snyder for a touchdown.

64
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:00.460
St.

65
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:02.710
Louis University, they went on to beat Carroll College 22

66
00:04:02.710 --> 00:04:07.389
to nothing. 1934, pilot Wiley Post, he was flying near Chicago.

67
00:04:07.770 --> 00:04:13.069
Any guesses what he discovered? The jet stream. In 1975

68
00:04:13.069 --> 00:04:16.199
in Sacramento, California, Charles Manson, he had a follower named

69
00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:19.300
Squeaky Fromm. Now she tried to shoot U.S. President Gerald Ford.

70
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:21.439
Now she was only an arm's length away when she

71
00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:23.610
pulled out the gun. But then the gun, it either

72
00:04:23.649 --> 00:04:25.750
malfunctioned or she didn't know how to use it. They're

73
00:04:25.769 --> 00:04:28.350
not exactly sure, but for it, he was fine. Squeaky,

74
00:04:28.370 --> 00:04:31.680
she had spent the next 34 years in prison. In 2019,

75
00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:38.319
in Hyderabad, India, Irmadi Manjema, she gave birth to twin girls. Now,

76
00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:40.319
she was 74 years old. Well, this woman had pulled

77
00:04:40.350 --> 00:04:42.970
that off. Apparently, her and her husband had received some

78
00:04:42.990 --> 00:04:44.610
inheritance and they spent it in vitro.

79
00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:51.290
Want to know who was born on September 4th? Well,

80
00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:55.279
Jasper Newton Daniel. He was born in Lynchburg, Tennessee in 1846.

81
00:04:55.269 --> 00:04:58.089
Just went by the name Jack. Yep, he was Jack

82
00:04:58.110 --> 00:04:59.009
Daniel himself.

83
00:05:10.610 --> 00:05:14.230
Started the Jack Daniel Whiskey Distillery in 1875. He actually

84
00:05:14.290 --> 00:05:16.209
learned how to make whiskey when he was a little boy.

85
00:05:16.589 --> 00:05:18.529
He learned it from a slave. Yeah, they used to

86
00:05:18.589 --> 00:05:20.689
make and sell whiskey for a preacher. Well, the preacher

87
00:05:20.709 --> 00:05:23.879
got out of the whiskey business. So Jack, and now

88
00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:26.519
he's a former slave. His name was Nathan Green. Yeah,

89
00:05:26.540 --> 00:05:29.399
he went by Nearest. They started the Jack Daniel's Company.

90
00:05:29.620 --> 00:05:31.699
Took him 150 years for word to get out that

91
00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:34.939
Jack Daniel's whiskey recipe was actually made by Forrest. Yeah,

92
00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:38.699
a former slave. Jack, he never married. In 1911, He

93
00:05:38.740 --> 00:05:40.920
forgot the combination of the safe and his office. He

94
00:05:40.939 --> 00:05:43.240
got mad and kicked the safe. Broke his toe. Ended

95
00:05:43.300 --> 00:05:46.500
up dying from blood poisoning. 65 years old. Think whiskey

96
00:05:46.540 --> 00:05:50.329
was involved? Now, he did pay Nearest fairly for his help.

97
00:05:50.670 --> 00:05:53.050
But Ferris, he never really got a piece of the company.

98
00:05:53.509 --> 00:05:55.990
So years afterwards when the company was sold, yeah, his

99
00:05:56.050 --> 00:05:57.170
family didn't get anything for it.

100
00:06:00.750 --> 00:06:01.250
Hello?

101
00:06:01.569 --> 00:06:20.899
Hello? The original Bob Newhart. Bob, he was born in

102
00:06:20.980 --> 00:06:23.399
Oak Park, Illinois in 1929. He's one of the greatest

103
00:06:23.420 --> 00:06:27.120
stand-up comedians in history. In 1960, he released a comedy album.

104
00:06:27.139 --> 00:06:29.019
It was called The Button Down Mind of Bob Newhart.

105
00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:31.839
Went to number one on the Billboard pop charts. Yeah,

106
00:06:31.860 --> 00:06:33.839
first comedy album to do that. Then it took 30

107
00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:35.819
years for another comedy album to do it. Yeah, Weird

108
00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:39.089
Al Yankovic was pulled off. Bob, he's in a couple movies,

109
00:06:39.110 --> 00:06:40.750
but he's best known for TV. He had the Bob

110
00:06:40.790 --> 00:06:43.480
Newhart Show, Newhart, did a whole bunch of guest appearances.

111
00:06:43.939 --> 00:06:46.959
Nominated nine times for primetime Emmys. Finally won one on

112
00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:50.639
his ninth time, 2013. Yeah, he played Professor Proton on

113
00:06:50.660 --> 00:06:53.819
The Big Bang Theory. Bob, he married in 1963. They

114
00:06:53.860 --> 00:06:56.420
had four children. Now, Bob, he just died in July.

115
00:06:56.459 --> 00:06:59.379
He would have been 95 years old today. Now, I'm

116
00:06:59.420 --> 00:07:01.759
sure most of you have seen all those TV commercials

117
00:07:01.779 --> 00:07:04.819
for Roslyn Capital featuring William Devane. He wants you to

118
00:07:04.860 --> 00:07:08.459
buy gold and silver. William Devane is an 87-year-old actor

119
00:07:08.500 --> 00:07:11.550
who was born in Albany, New York in 1939. Some

120
00:07:11.589 --> 00:07:14.990
of his movies were Marathon Man, Bad News Bears, Space Cowboys.

121
00:07:15.410 --> 00:07:17.689
He was a president in The Dark Knight Rises. On TV,

122
00:07:17.709 --> 00:07:19.610
he starred on Knot's Landing for 10 years. Then he

123
00:07:19.629 --> 00:07:21.930
played the president on 24. So I guess since he

124
00:07:21.949 --> 00:07:24.009
played the president twice, that's why you should listen to

125
00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:25.639
him when he tries to give you investment advice on

126
00:07:25.660 --> 00:07:27.920
your money. Now, he's been married since 1961, and they

127
00:07:27.939 --> 00:07:28.420
have two sons.

128
00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:31.300
This girl's back in.

129
00:07:31.079 --> 00:07:33.699
Town, and she means business.

130
00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:39.680
This girl's back in town, she's.

131
00:07:39.379 --> 00:07:52.079
Back for good. Any idea?

132
00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:54.879
That song, This Girl is Back in Town, it got

133
00:07:54.899 --> 00:07:58.019
up to number 26 in 1987. It was the only

134
00:07:58.060 --> 00:08:00.079
song she ever released that made it into the charts.

135
00:08:01.019 --> 00:08:04.600
Raquel Welch. Yeah, Raquel. She was born in Chicago in 1940.

136
00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:06.699
When she was two, she moved her family to San Diego.

137
00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:08.579
That's where she grew up. She went to San Diego

138
00:08:08.600 --> 00:08:12.199
State University. 1966, she was in the movie One Million

139
00:08:12.230 --> 00:08:14.949
Years B.C. Now, she only had three lines in the movie,

140
00:08:15.370 --> 00:08:17.149
but they put her on the movie poster wearing a

141
00:08:17.189 --> 00:08:19.990
deerskin bikini. That poster is one of the most solved

142
00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:23.610
Sold posters in world history. So, yeah, she became an

143
00:08:23.699 --> 00:08:26.449
international sex symbol. Some movies that she was in with

144
00:08:26.509 --> 00:08:30.089
more than three lines were The Fantastic Boys, Bedazzled, Bandolero,

145
00:08:30.209 --> 00:08:33.950
Legally Blonde, Mother, Jugs, and Speed. She was Jugs. She

146
00:08:33.970 --> 00:08:35.850
divorced four times. She had a son and a daughter

147
00:08:35.889 --> 00:08:38.789
from her first marriage. Now, in the movie Shawshank Redemption,

148
00:08:38.850 --> 00:08:40.950
that poster that Tim Robbins puts up on the wall

149
00:08:40.970 --> 00:08:43.289
to hide his escape route, it was a Rocko Welch poster.

150
00:08:44.009 --> 00:08:46.129
She had Alzheimer's, but she died of a heart attack

151
00:08:46.289 --> 00:09:09.230
just last year at 82 years old. That was when

152
00:09:09.289 --> 00:09:11.870
Queen stole the show at the Live Aid concerts in 1985.

153
00:09:11.870 --> 00:09:15.870
The late singer of Queen, yeah, of course, was Freddie Mercury.

154
00:09:16.250 --> 00:09:20.529
Freddie was born in Stonetown, Zanzibar in 1946. Zanzibar today

155
00:09:20.580 --> 00:09:23.679
is part of Tanzania. He had a four-octave voice range

156
00:09:23.700 --> 00:09:26.200
and a really flamboyant stage presence, helped Queen sell over

157
00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:29.179
200 million records. He did live with a woman. Her

158
00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:31.399
name was Mary Austin for six years, but then he

159
00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:33.019

00:11:07.690 --> 00:11:11.960
phobia of beards? Yeah, the phobia of beards is called pogonophobia. Now,

191

when someone with a pogonophobia actually sees somebody or a

218
00:12:59.019 --> 00:13:00.500
than someone this strong.

00:13:02.019 --> 00:13:06.860
Rocks that top little shimmer, sucks on a chip.
