00:00:19.210 --> 00:00:22.289
Hi, I'm Jeff, and welcome to History and Factoids About Today.
2
00:00:22.629 --> 00:00:23.829
Today's September the 6th.
3
00:00:24.609 --> 00:00:27.640
He's lighting up the charcoal.
4
00:00:26.980 --> 00:00:29.059
Lights And now the long necks.
5
00:00:28.899 --> 00:00:34.119
Are acting a fool With a bunch of crazy rednecks.
6
00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:42.130
Partying harder than all the frat boys around All bets
7
00:00:42.469 --> 00:00:47.170
are off Once you put the tailgate.
8
00:00:46.210 --> 00:00:51.710
Down Today is National Tailgating Day. Now, football season is
9
00:00:51.729 --> 00:00:54.789
full swing, so that means it's tailgating season. Tailgating, it
10
00:00:54.829 --> 00:00:57.530
goes back before there were tailgates. The Romans, they would
11
00:00:57.570 --> 00:01:00.990
party outside the arena before the chariot races. First tailgate
12
00:01:01.030 --> 00:01:04.709
party in the United States, it took place in 1861. Yeah,
13
00:01:04.750 --> 00:01:07.810
during the Civil War. Supporters of the Union Army, they
14
00:01:07.890 --> 00:01:10.879
camped out and picnicked before the Battle of Bull Run. Yeah,
15
00:01:10.890 --> 00:01:12.750
there was a hill that overlooked the battle, where the
16
00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:14.500
battle was going to be fought at. They had all
17
00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:16.780
kinds of food and drinks and all that kind of stuff. Ah,
18
00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:19.030
it didn't turn out so well. The South just whooped
19
00:01:19.049 --> 00:01:21.950
the North, but ended up chasing the fleeing Northern soldiers
20
00:01:21.989 --> 00:01:23.810
right through where all the people were partying on the hill.
21
00:01:24.390 --> 00:01:27.230
Wasn't much of a party after that. Now, 80% of
22
00:01:27.269 --> 00:01:29.400
all Americans will admit that they've gone to a tailgate
23
00:01:29.420 --> 00:01:31.439
in some form, you know, before a sporting event or
24
00:01:31.459 --> 00:01:33.659
a concert or something. So that means you all know
25
00:01:33.719 --> 00:01:35.799
what to do. You don't need me. So have fun
26
00:01:35.859 --> 00:01:38.719
tailgating today. Try and make it inside the game. What
27
00:01:38.780 --> 00:01:41.900
happened in entertainment on September 6th back in 1956? Number
28
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:45.859
one album was My Fair Lady movie soundtrack. Elvis had
29
00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:47.120
the number one song with Hound Dog.
30
00:01:47.140 --> 00:01:57.150
Ray Price had the number one country song with Crazy Arms.
31
00:02:13.419 --> 00:02:17.199
The number one book was.
32
00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:27.939
Don't Go Near the Water by William Brinkley. Top movie
33
00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:29.919
was Bus Stop.
34
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:43.030
A cowboy, he falls in love with a saloon singer,
35
00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:44.759
then he tries to take her against her will back
36
00:02:44.810 --> 00:02:49.969
to his ranch in Montana. Stars Marilyn Monroe and Don Murray. Alright,
37
00:02:49.990 --> 00:02:53.009
what happened on September the 6th? Now this started actually
38
00:02:53.069 --> 00:02:56.710
three years earlier, but it was today in 1522 that
39
00:02:58.650 --> 00:03:01.590
Ferdinand Magellan, his expedition, became the first one to sail
40
00:03:01.610 --> 00:03:03.610
all the way around the world. They arrived back in
41
00:03:03.629 --> 00:03:06.710
Spain today. Now, they started out with five ships and
42
00:03:06.710 --> 00:03:09.849
270 men. They returned today with one ship and 18 men.
43
00:03:10.150 --> 00:03:12.050
And get this, Magellan wasn't one of them. He'd gotten
44
00:03:12.069 --> 00:03:15.840
killed over in the Philippines. So his second command, Juan Elcano,
45
00:03:16.300 --> 00:03:19.120
he took over after Magellan was killed. Now, Juan, he
46
00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:21.560
did an inaudible. Yeah, he didn't want to go back
47
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:23.819
through everything they had gotten that far. So he said,
48
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:25.520
you know what? Let's just keep going straight. See, it
49
00:03:25.539 --> 00:03:27.400
wasn't supposed to be a world trip. It was supposed
50
00:03:27.419 --> 00:03:29.530
to be out and back. Juan didn't care. He wasn't
51
00:03:29.539 --> 00:03:31.210
going to try and go back through the Philippines or
52
00:03:31.229 --> 00:03:34.370
anything like that. So they made it back. Yeah, the
53
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:36.939
That was a lot easier than actually if they had
54
00:03:36.979 --> 00:03:39.560
gone back now. But that made them the first people
55
00:03:39.590 --> 00:03:41.750
to ever sail around the world. Weirdest thing, though, is
56
00:03:41.909 --> 00:03:47.139
everybody knows Ferdinand Magellan. Not many people know Juan O'Connell. 1716,
57
00:03:47.129 --> 00:03:49.830
the first lighthouse was built in North America. It was
58
00:03:49.870 --> 00:03:53.250
built on Little Brewster Island outside of Boston. Ah, the British,
59
00:03:53.289 --> 00:03:57.379
they destroyed it during the Revolutionary War. 1901, the United
60
00:03:57.409 --> 00:03:59.900
States President William McKinley, he was in Buffalo, New York,
61
00:03:59.979 --> 00:04:04.490
attending the Pan American Expo. An anarchist named Leon Shuligets.
62
00:04:04.870 --> 00:04:07.659
He shot him. Yeah, point blank rage. Now, one bullet
63
00:04:07.699 --> 00:04:10.080
ricocheted off of his jacket, but the other bullet, yeah,
64
00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:13.479
went deep into his stomach. McKinley, he died eight days later. Now,
65
00:04:13.500 --> 00:04:15.039
a man standing behind Leon just hit him in the
66
00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:16.740
back of the neck, and that caused him to drop
67
00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:18.439
the gun. Then the crowd jumped down and beat the
68
00:04:18.490 --> 00:04:21.550
crap out of him. Police finally stopped it. Now, Leon,
69
00:04:21.589 --> 00:04:25.930
he said he did it to benefit all the working people. Now,
70
00:04:25.990 --> 00:04:29.439
before McKinley was assassinated, though, The main job of the
71
00:04:29.459 --> 00:04:32.569
United States Secret Service? Yeah, it was to fight counterfeiting money.
72
00:04:33.209 --> 00:04:35.389
Now the number one job of the Secret Service was
73
00:04:35.410 --> 00:04:38.529
to protect the president and his family. So Leon, he
74
00:04:38.610 --> 00:04:43.889
actually was executed. 1913, French pilot Adolphe Pigoud. He was
75
00:04:43.910 --> 00:04:48.329
the first person to fly a loop-a-loop. Memphis, Tennessee in 1916,
76
00:04:48.329 --> 00:04:51.410
Clarence Saunders. He opened up the world's first supermarket called
77
00:04:51.430 --> 00:04:53.449
the Piggly Wiggly. I know a bunch of you out
78
00:04:53.470 --> 00:04:55.990
there actually shop there still, huh? Yeah, there's still like
79
00:04:55.990 --> 00:04:58.329
500 Piggly Wiggies left in the United States and 18
80
00:04:58.329 --> 00:05:03.769
different states. 1949, America's first mass shooting took place. Camden,
81
00:05:03.810 --> 00:05:07.360
New Jersey. Howard Unruh, he was a 28-year-old. He had
82
00:05:07.379 --> 00:05:09.459
won medals for marksmanship in the Army, and he fought
83
00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:12.540
in World War II. About 9.20 in the morning, he
84
00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:14.839
walked out of his apartment, just walked up and down
85
00:05:14.860 --> 00:05:17.519
the street. He killed 13 people in 12 minutes. Yeah,
86
00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:19.959
he shot them in their cars, on the streets, through
87
00:05:19.980 --> 00:05:22.899
the windows of their houses, through the windows of doors,
88
00:05:22.939 --> 00:05:25.439
all that kind of stuff. And then when he finally
89
00:05:25.500 --> 00:05:28.279
heard sirens taking place, he sort of went back to
90
00:05:28.300 --> 00:05:31.360
his house and he locked himself inside. Police were finally
91
00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:33.500
able to get him back with tear gas. He said
92
00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:35.000
he would have killed more if the police hadn't showed
93
00:05:35.060 --> 00:05:37.480
up or he had more bullets. His victims ranged from
94
00:05:37.500 --> 00:05:40.300
the age of two years old to 68 years old. Now,
95
00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:43.189
he actually was in prison 60 years. Yeah, he died
96
00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:44.189
in 2009 at 88 years old. 1989 in Paris, France,
97
00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:54.160
the police computer system went crazy. It totally malfunctioned. It
98
00:05:54.220 --> 00:05:57.600
sent out arrest warrants for the rest of 41,000 people
99
00:05:57.620 --> 00:06:00.060
who lived in Paris. Yeah, and they were all charged
100
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:03.199
with either murder or prostitution. How would you have liked
101
00:06:03.220 --> 00:06:05.980
to have gotten that in the mail? Out of 41,000 people,
102
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:09.449
think a couple of them are going, how'd they know? 1991,
103
00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:12.470
as the Soviet Union began to collapse, they recognized the
104
00:06:12.509 --> 00:06:16.149
independence of Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia. Then they changed the
105
00:06:16.189 --> 00:06:19.990
name of the city Leningrad back to St. Petersburg. See,
106
00:06:20.009 --> 00:06:23.100
back in 1924, linen, he wanted the city named after it,
107
00:06:23.129 --> 00:06:26.750
so he changed it to Leningrad. Now, St. Petersburg was
108
00:06:26.790 --> 00:06:30.250
actually founded by Peter the Great, 1703. Let's check out who.
109
00:06:30.209 --> 00:06:33.029
Was born on September the 6th.
110
00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:58.680
Oh, Lisa lost her smile. Painter's hands are trembling now.
111
00:06:59.259 --> 00:07:01.240
And if she's out there.
112
00:07:00.850 --> 00:07:08.029
Running wild, it's just because I taught her how.
113
00:07:08.949 --> 00:07:11.360
That was country singer David Allen Coe. He was born
114
00:07:11.379 --> 00:07:14.850
in Akron, Ohio in 1939. Now, he was first sent
115
00:07:14.889 --> 00:07:17.050
to reform school when he was nine years old. Then
116
00:07:17.069 --> 00:07:19.209
he spent over the next 20 years in and out
117
00:07:19.250 --> 00:07:22.029
of prison, being locked up all the time. Yeah, he
118
00:07:22.050 --> 00:07:24.509
started writing songs. So when he finally got out for
119
00:07:24.550 --> 00:07:27.629
good and decided to go straight, fit right into the
120
00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:31.389
country outlaw movement that was taking place in the 1970s.
121
00:07:31.980 --> 00:07:34.779
Named his first album Penitentiary Blues. At least 40 albums
122
00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:37.339
since then. Biggest hit. Yeah, he didn't sing it. He
123
00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:39.720
wrote it. Biggest hit he ever wrote? Yeah, Johnny Paycheck
124
00:07:39.740 --> 00:07:41.139
sang it. It was Take This Job and Shove It.
125
00:07:41.889 --> 00:07:44.930
Some of David's songs that he sang were You Never
126
00:07:44.990 --> 00:07:48.089
Called Me By My Name, Long-Haired Redneck, Mona Lisa Smile.
127
00:07:48.829 --> 00:07:51.420
Now he has one son and one daughter. David died
128
00:07:51.449 --> 00:08:15.389
in April, 86 years old. That was Roger Waters singing
129
00:08:15.410 --> 00:08:18.939
for Pink Floyd. He's 83. Born in Great Bookham, England
130
00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:23.000
in 1943. He co-founded Pink Floyd in 1965. Originally, he
131
00:08:23.019 --> 00:08:25.439
was just supposed to play bass guitar. He ended up
132
00:08:25.620 --> 00:08:28.180
singing and writing all their songs. Pink Floyd, they sold
133
00:08:28.220 --> 00:08:31.459
over 250 million records. Now, you don't really talk about
134
00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:33.679
Pink Floyd songs. You pretty much talk about their albums,
135
00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:35.980
like The Wall and that kind of stuff. Well, Dark
136
00:08:36.019 --> 00:08:38.120
Side of the Moon, that is the fourth biggest selling
137
00:08:38.230 --> 00:08:42.080
album of all time. Michael Jackson's Thriller, ACDC's Back in Black,
138
00:08:42.179 --> 00:08:44.580
and the Bodyguard movie soundtracks. I guess that's Whitney Houston.
139
00:08:44.600 --> 00:08:48.039
They've all sold more. Roger, he left Pink Floyd in 1985,
140
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:50.620
does his own solo stuff. He has a son and
141
00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:52.360
a daughter from his second wife. He has a son
142
00:08:52.379 --> 00:08:56.600
from his third wife. Married his fifth wife, 2021. Actress
143
00:08:56.620 --> 00:09:00.299
Swoozie Kurtz. Yeah, that's her name. Her father named her Swoozie. Yeah,
144
00:09:00.340 --> 00:09:02.399
he was a pilot during World War II. He named
145
00:09:02.440 --> 00:09:05.779
Swoozie after the B-17D Flying Fortress. It was a bummer.
146
00:09:06.350 --> 00:09:07.059
She's 82.
147
00:09:07.059 --> 00:09:07.590

then The World According to Garp, Vice Versa, Cruel Intentions.
151
00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:18.740
On TV, she starred on Sisters, and then she was
152
00:09:18.779 --> 00:09:23.179
Molly's Mom in Mike and Molly. Actress-comedian Jane Curtin. She

00:09:23.220 --> 00:09:28.100
was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1947. She's 79. She
154
00:09:28.139 --> 00:09:30.620
first hit big as an original cast member on Saturday
155
00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:33.210
Night Live. She did that for five years. Then on TV,
156
00:09:33.230 --> 00:09:35.909
she won back-to-back Emmys starring in Kate and Allie. Yeah,
157
00:09:35.929 --> 00:09:38.149
she was Allie. Later on, she did Third Rock from
158
00:09:38.169 --> 00:09:42.179

they have a daughter.
161
00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:48.539
If you've ever.
162
00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:56.490
Been too drunk to fish, you might be a redneck.
163
00:09:56.549 --> 00:09:59.970
If every day somebody comes to your door mistakenly thinking,
164
00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:05.700
you're having a yard sale, you might be a redneck.
165
00:10:06.899 --> 00:10:11.370
Comedian Jeff Foxworthy, 68, is born in Atlanta, Georgia. Now, Jeff,
166
00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:13.870
he does a great job with that whole redneck angle
167
00:10:13.889 --> 00:10:15.870
and sticking on that. He actually grew up in money,
168
00:10:15.909 --> 00:10:17.669
so he has no redneck, but he sure does a
169
00:10:17.669 --> 00:10:20.899
good job at it. Now, his comedy albums, the sales
170
00:10:20.940 --> 00:10:23.720
of them make him the top-selling comedian of all time. Now,
171
00:10:23.759 --> 00:10:27.399
he hit huge with the Blue Collar Comedy Tour. He's
172
00:10:27.419 --> 00:10:30.070
had a couple of Jeff Foxworthy TV series. He also
173
00:10:30.129 --> 00:10:32.710
did Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader for eight years.
174
00:10:33.250 --> 00:10:35.009
I didn't know it was on that long. He got
175
00:10:35.029 --> 00:10:37.889
married in 1985, and they have two daughters. Actor and
176
00:10:37.909 --> 00:10:41.509
comedian Michael Winslow. He's also 68. He was born in Spokane, Washington.
177
00:10:42.049 --> 00:10:44.549
He's known as the man of 10,000 sound effects. He
178
00:10:44.570 --> 00:10:47.649
can make realistic sounds pretty much of everything just by
179
00:10:47.730 --> 00:10:50.009
using his face and his voice. I bet you probably
180
00:10:50.049 --> 00:10:51.649
know him best for being in all seven of those
181
00:10:51.690 --> 00:10:54.730
Police Academy movies. Yeah, he's the only actor who was
182
00:10:54.769 --> 00:10:58.250
able to pull that off. Been in over 60 movies total. Now,
183
00:10:58.289 --> 00:11:00.360
he was married three times and has two children from it.
184
00:11:01.450 --> 00:11:03.710
Oh, I should have done this and I should have
185
00:11:03.730 --> 00:11:06.950
done that. I should have been there and she'd never left.
186
00:11:07.129 --> 00:11:10.090
I should have been hanging on every word she ever
187
00:11:10.110 --> 00:11:13.149
had to say. But it's a little too late.
188
00:11:16.830 --> 00:11:18.450
I'm a little too wrong.
189
00:11:18.690 --> 00:11:21.470
Now would be a good time to change, but it's a.
190
00:11:21.490 --> 00:11:22.549
Little too late.
191
00:11:23.450 --> 00:11:26.600
He is country singer Mark Chestnut. He's born in Beaumont, Texas.
192
00:11:26.629 --> 00:11:29.799
He's 63 today. He's had 20 top 10 hits. Another
193
00:11:29.860 --> 00:11:32.659

00:11:32.840 --> 00:11:35.960
Mile Flames, I'll Have New Names, Sure Is Monday, I'll
195
00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:38.580
Think of Something. Now he still performs. You can just
196
00:11:38.600 --> 00:11:40.799
go to his website. He doesn't really tour. He just
197
00:11:40.820 --> 00:11:42.559
kind of does shows, so you can check Mark out.
198
00:11:43.129 --> 00:11:45.970
I married in 1992 and they have three sons. Actress
199

00:11:48.419 --> 00:11:52.620
York in 1964. Bushwick is basically Brooklyn. Now she went
201
00:11:52.659 --> 00:11:55.620
to college to major in biochemistry. One night she was
202
00:11:55.659 --> 00:11:57.919
dancing at the club and she was asked if she

00:11:57.940 --> 00:11:59.679
wanted to be a dancer on the TV show Soul Train.
204
00:11:59.879 --> 00:12:02.200
So she quit school and said okay. From that she
205
00:12:02.220 --> 00:12:03.820
went on to be a fly girl and then she
206
00:12:03.860 --> 00:12:06.250
was the choreographer for the TV show In Living Color.
207
00:12:06.639 --> 00:12:08.870
She was nominated for three Emmys for the choreography for that.
208
00:12:09.590 --> 00:12:12.070
Some of her movies are Do the Right Thing, White

00:12:21.070 --> 00:12:22.610
her second husband since 2013. Do you have to?
213
00:12:23.809 --> 00:12:27.669
Do you have to?
214
00:12:27.690 --> 00:12:29.950
Do you have to?
215
00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:46.620
She was Dolores O'Riordan. That was her singing with the Cranberries.
216
00:12:47.070 --> 00:12:49.950
She was born in Ballybrick in Ireland in 1971. That's
217
00:12:50.129 --> 00:12:53.269
a cool name. Now she joined the Cranberries in 1990
218
00:12:53.269 --> 00:12:58.629
with her singing. They sold over 40 million records. Linger, Zombie, Salvation, Face,
219
00:12:58.970 --> 00:13:01.090
or Free to Decide. Yeah, those are all some of
220
00:13:01.110 --> 00:13:03.480
their hits. Now she was married for 20 years when
221
00:13:03.500 --> 00:13:07.259
they divorced in 2014 and had three children. 2018, Dolores,

Idris is 54. He hit really big on the TV
225
00:13:18.019 --> 00:13:20.470
show The Wire and then Luther. He hit even bigger
226
00:13:20.509 --> 00:13:23.330
in movies, though. Yeah, he played Heimdall in five of
227
00:13:23.350 --> 00:13:25.769

from a girlfriend. Then he had a daughter from his
230
00:13:30.769 --> 00:13:32.929
first wife. Married his third wife in 2019. All righty,
231
00:13:34.710 --> 00:13:36.789
our quote of the day. It comes from Burt Reynolds.
232
00:13:37.529 --> 00:13:42.120
And to keep from falling off your barstools, but all
233
00:13:42.139 --> 00:13:49.080
that you can do. I make my proposition because I'm
234
00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:57.330
just as drunk as you. Let's do something cheap and superficial.
235
00:13:58.330 --> 00:14:00.769
Yeah, Burt released an album out there in the 1970s.
236
00:14:00.809 --> 00:14:04.269
Probably remember it more for an actor though, huh? Now
237
00:14:04.330 --> 00:14:05.830
he died today in 2018 at 82 years old. Burt said,
238
00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:10.580
