00:00:21.129 --> 00:00:24.050
Fact Toys About Today presented by Cool Media. Today's September

3
00:00:24.089 --> 00:00:24.449

4
00:00:24.989 --> 00:00:25.629
These are the.

5
00:00:25.589 --> 00:00:27.510
Voyages of the starship Enterprise.

6
00:00:29.070 --> 00:00:33.880
It's five-year mission to explore strange new worlds, to seek

7
00:00:33.939 --> 00:00:35.119
out new life and.

8
00:00:35.079 --> 00:00:39.899
New civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before.

9
00:00:42.950 --> 00:00:52.539
Today is National Star Trek Day. That's not nice. A

10
00:00:52.579 --> 00:00:54.979
lot of people really get into Star Trek. Now, the

11
00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:57.729
first episode of Star Trek aired today in 1966. It

12
00:00:58.549 --> 00:01:02.329
was released by Lucille Ball and her Desilu Production Company. Now,

13
00:01:02.409 --> 00:01:03.950
no one watched it. It only was on the air

14
00:01:03.969 --> 00:01:06.819
for three seasons. But for some reason, a lot more

15
00:01:06.859 --> 00:01:09.420
people began watching the reruns after the show was over.

16
00:01:09.959 --> 00:01:12.609
So many people were watching the reruns that by 1972,

17
00:01:12.609 --> 00:01:15.450
they held that first Star Trek convention. Now Star Trek

18
00:01:15.469 --> 00:01:18.950
is a multi-billion dollar franchise, TV shows, movies, lots and

19
00:01:18.969 --> 00:01:22.189
lots of merchandise. So my Trekkie friends, have a great

20
00:01:22.290 --> 00:01:25.769
Star Trek day. Let's dig a gander at what was

21
00:01:25.790 --> 00:01:28.090
going on in entertainment on September the 8th back in 1987.

22
00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:32.870
Number one album was Whitney by Whitney Houston. Los Lobos

23
00:01:32.930 --> 00:01:57.730
took Richie Valen's song La Bomba to number one. Kenny

24
00:01:57.790 --> 00:02:00.450
Rogers and Ronnie Millsap had the number one country song

25
00:02:00.469 --> 00:02:02.280
with Make No Mistake, She's Mine.

26
00:02:04.489 --> 00:02:14.439
I don't want to see your face. Answer her door.

27
00:02:15.180 --> 00:02:25.550
Make no mistake. She's mine.

28
00:02:26.370 --> 00:02:30.289
That best-selling book was Patriot Games by Tom Clancy. Top

29
00:02:30.310 --> 00:02:34.710
movie was Stakeout. Richard Dreyfuss and Emilio Estevez are detectives,

30
00:02:34.770 --> 00:02:37.729
and they're staking out the ex-girlfriend of a really bad guy. Well,

31
00:02:37.770 --> 00:02:40.180
Dreyfuss falls in love with the girl. She was Madeline Stowe.

32
00:02:40.189 --> 00:02:46.159
All right, what happened on September the 8th? 1504 in Florence, Michelangelo,

33
00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:49.259
he unveiled the Statue of David. It stood 14 feet

34
00:02:49.300 --> 00:02:51.599
high and weighed six tons. Now, he made it from

35
00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:54.349
one block of granite that other artists and sculptors had

36
00:02:54.389 --> 00:02:58.650
already rejected. Now, it's of King David in the Old Testament,

37
00:02:58.729 --> 00:03:01.650
you know, the David who slayed Goliath. Michelangelo, he was

38
00:03:01.689 --> 00:03:04.969
paid to create the statue for the Florence Cathedral. But

39
00:03:05.030 --> 00:03:07.050
now that he unveiled it, there was one problem. They

40
00:03:07.090 --> 00:03:09.650
had no way they could move that five-ton statue all

41
00:03:09.710 --> 00:03:12.770
the way across town to the cathedral. So they slid

42
00:03:12.810 --> 00:03:15.560
it across the street, set it up in the town square,

43
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:18.960
the Piazza di Signore, and called her good. Hey, if

44
00:03:18.979 --> 00:03:23.360
you really want to sound smart, Michelangelo, he sculpted David,

45
00:03:23.780 --> 00:03:26.979
depicting David before he fought Goliath. He wanted people to

46
00:03:27.020 --> 00:03:31.969
feel David's pent-up sense of energy before the fight. you

47
00:03:32.090 --> 00:03:34.710
go 1565 the first permanent european settlement in the united

48
00:03:34.729 --> 00:03:38.969
states began saint augustine florida yeah spain started it in

49
00:03:39.009 --> 00:03:42.219
the bible's book of leviticus chapter 20 verse 15 it

50
00:03:42.250 --> 00:03:45.219
says if a man shall lie with a beast he

51
00:03:45.259 --> 00:03:46.900
shall be put to death and the beast shall be

52
00:03:46.939 --> 00:03:50.479
slayed well the pilgrims of the plymouth colony they took

53
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:54.580
that very seriously 1642 and the first act of bestiality

54
00:03:54.620 --> 00:03:58.409
that was confirmed In North America, this pilgrim teenager named

55
00:03:58.430 --> 00:04:01.009
Thomas Granger, he admitted to having sex with a horse,

56
00:04:01.110 --> 00:04:03.849
a cow, two goats, a number of sheep, and two calves. Oh,

57
00:04:03.900 --> 00:04:06.860
and a turkey. Now, they made Thomas watch as they

58
00:04:06.900 --> 00:04:08.979
killed all the animals that he had sex with. Then

59
00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:11.300
they made him watch as they burned their bodies. Then

60
00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:13.430
they hung Thomas. So how would you like to go

61
00:04:13.449 --> 00:04:17.449
down in history for that? 1892, the United States Pledge

62
00:04:17.490 --> 00:04:21.350
of Allegiance was first published. Yeah, it was in the U.S. Companion. Now,

63
00:04:21.370 --> 00:04:23.250
it was written by this guy, Frank Bellamy, and Frank

64
00:04:23.290 --> 00:04:25.949
was a really religious guy, but he did not put

65
00:04:26.069 --> 00:04:28.920
under God in the original version of the pledge. Nope, U.S.

66
00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:32.819
Congress put that in there in 1954. On the night

67
00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:35.759
of September 8th in 1923, it was the largest loss

68
00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:39.160
of U.S. Navy ships during peacetime. It happened at Honda Point.

69
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:42.009
It's known as the Honda Point disaster. Now, Honda Point,

70
00:04:42.069 --> 00:04:45.980
it's off of California near the San Bernardino coast. 14 U.S.

71
00:04:46.009 --> 00:04:49.100
Navy destroyers were performing war exercises. They were going from

72
00:04:49.139 --> 00:04:52.199
San Francisco down to San Diego. Well, at 9 p.m.

73
00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:55.160
in heavy fog, the ships were going to, they were

74
00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:57.560
about 37 miles an hour, so about 20 knots. Now,

75
00:04:57.600 --> 00:04:59.550
they were supposed to make a turn into the San

76
00:04:59.589 --> 00:05:04.529
Bernardino Channel. They missed. Seven of the destroyers crashed into

77
00:05:04.550 --> 00:05:06.910
the rocky shoreline and sank. Two others hit the rocks

78
00:05:06.949 --> 00:05:09.930
but didn't sink. 23 sailors died. I mean, that's bad,

79
00:05:09.990 --> 00:05:14.209
but for seven ships sinking, I guess that's not so bad. 1930,

80
00:05:14.209 --> 00:05:17.750
American inventor Richard Drew, he invented scotch tape. I personally

81
00:05:17.769 --> 00:05:21.290
don't think it tastes like scotch at all. 1941, Germany

82
00:05:21.350 --> 00:05:24.439
began its siege of the Soviet city of Leningrad. That

83
00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:27.959
siege will last 900 days and over 800,000 civilians have died.

84
00:05:28.899 --> 00:05:33.339
Also in World War II, Italy, they surrendered unconditionally in 1943.

85
00:05:33.339 --> 00:05:35.620
But see, there was a problem. Germany had so many

86
00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:39.199
soldiers down in Italy that, yeah, they didn't surrender. So yeah,

87
00:05:39.220 --> 00:05:43.259
the fighting just kept going. 1974, U.S. President Gerald Ford,

88
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:45.790
he pardoned former President Richard Nixon of any crime he

89
00:05:45.829 --> 00:05:52.930
might have committed while he was in office. Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, Charlie.

90
00:05:53.509 --> 00:05:54.470
It's your birthday.

91
00:05:54.750 --> 00:05:57.009
We're going to party like it's your birthday.

92
00:05:57.040 --> 00:05:59.800
We're going to sip a card like it's your birthday.

93
00:06:00.139 --> 00:06:02.500
And you know we don't give up because it's your birthday.

94
00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:05.980
Well, let's check out who was born on September the 8th.

95
00:06:06.459 --> 00:06:11.990
You come a waltz and Matilda with me. Waltz and Matilda,

96
00:06:12.029 --> 00:06:17.029
waltz and Matilda. You come a waltz and Matilda with me.

97
00:06:17.689 --> 00:06:20.610

98
00:06:20.649 --> 00:06:24.959

99
00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:29.430
Me that was the father of country music jimmy rogers

00:06:29.829 --> 00:06:33.149
he was born in meridian mississippi in 1897 now he

101
00:06:33.189 --> 00:06:35.050
didn't really tour around or anything he's mostly known just

102
00:06:35.069 --> 00:06:37.810
for his records And they really didn't release albums back then,

103
00:06:37.829 --> 00:06:41.529
so it was all singles. From 1927 to 1938, they

104
00:06:41.550 --> 00:06:44.670
released over 100 records from Jimmy Rogers. Now, they didn't

105
00:06:44.689 --> 00:06:46.569
have charts, so we don't actually know how huge they were.

106
00:06:46.589 --> 00:06:48.990
But we do know that he was extremely, extremely popular.

107
00:06:49.589 --> 00:06:51.629
He was married and had two daughters. And then Jimmy

Frank Cady, he was born in Susanville, California in 1915.

110
00:07:01.019 --> 00:07:03.379
He played the same character on three different TV shows.

111
00:07:03.860 --> 00:07:07.839
He was storekeeper Sam Drucker in Petticoat Junction, Green Acres,

112
00:07:07.899 --> 00:07:11.160
and Beverly Hillbillies. First got known, though, playing Doc Williams

113
00:07:11.220 --> 00:07:13.899
on the TV show Ozzie and Harriet. Did that from

114
00:07:13.899 --> 00:07:17.139
1954 to 1965. Frank, he was married 68 years when

115
00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:19.879
his wife died in 2008. They had two children. Frank

116
00:07:19.899 --> 00:07:20.639
died in 2012 at 96 years old.

117
00:07:22.459 --> 00:07:25.339
When we get out there, we're going to yank them

118
00:07:25.740 --> 00:07:26.819
and tear them.

119
00:07:27.259 --> 00:07:28.060
And rip them.

120
00:07:28.139 --> 00:07:32.790
We're going to take them and roll them around and rip.

121
00:07:32.389 --> 00:07:33.149
Them up to pieces.

122
00:07:33.290 --> 00:07:36.470
And then we're going to slaughter them.

123
00:07:36.550 --> 00:07:39.189
And after the slaughter is over, we're going to come

124
00:07:39.230 --> 00:07:42.290
back here and bring that victory back.

125
00:07:43.490 --> 00:07:46.470
That was actor-comedian Sid Caesar. Yeah, it was in the

126
00:07:46.490 --> 00:07:49.699
movie Grace. He was born in Yonkers, New York in 1922.

127
00:07:49.699 --> 00:07:52.379
He got really big on TV in the 1950s. He

00:07:52.430 --> 00:07:54.089

He was the coach in Grease 1 and 2. He

132
00:08:02.269 --> 00:08:05.050
was in History of the World Part 1. Now, he

133
00:08:05.089 --> 00:08:08.850
worked in entertainment from 1945 to 2005. He was married

134
00:08:08.889 --> 00:08:11.389
for 67 years when his wife died in 2010. They

135
00:08:11.420 --> 00:08:13.279
had three kids. Said he died in 2014 at 91

136
00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:13.699
years old.

137
00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:36.549
Crazy So lonely I am crazy Crazy for feeling So.

138
00:08:36.169 --> 00:08:41.470
Blue Country legend Patsy Cline. She was born in Winchester,

139
00:08:41.509 --> 00:08:44.649
Virginia in 1932. She is said to have one of

140
00:08:44.710 --> 00:08:47.409
the most influential voices in music in the 20th century.

141
00:08:48.019 --> 00:08:50.379
She was the first female country singer to cross over

142
00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:52.769
and have big success on the pop chart. Some of

143
00:08:52.809 --> 00:08:56.250
her classic songs are I Follow the Pieces, Crazy, She's

144
00:08:56.289 --> 00:08:59.070
Got You, Walking After Midnight. Now, she only released three albums.

145
00:08:59.710 --> 00:09:03.149
In 1963, she was flying home after doing a benefit concert. Yeah,

146
00:09:03.169 --> 00:09:05.519
her plane crashed. She was 30 years old. She was

147
00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:06.779
married and had a son and a daughter.

148
00:09:06.799 --> 00:09:08.919
I don't want you hanging out.

149
00:09:29.450 --> 00:09:31.990
That was Benjamin Orr singing Lead for the Cars. He

150
00:09:32.009 --> 00:09:35.129
was born in Lakewood, Ohio in 1947. Now, I know

151
00:09:35.210 --> 00:09:37.919
Rico Kasich sang Lead for the Cars. But they let

152
00:09:38.039 --> 00:09:41.090
Orr sing lead for Just What I Needed, Let's Go, Drive,

153
00:09:41.250 --> 00:09:43.870
and Moving in Stereo. And get this, Ric Ocasek, he

154
00:09:44.029 --> 00:09:46.669
actually wrote all those songs that Orr sang lead on. Orr,

155
00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:48.340
he did have one solo hit over the years. It

156
00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:50.919
was called Stay the Night. He married twice and had

157
00:09:51.039 --> 00:09:54.179
one son. He died from pancreatic cancer in 2000 at

158

Glass She was born Alicia Moore, but she is worldwide

193
00:12:06.929 --> 00:12:09.509
famous just as simply as Pink. She was born in

194
00:12:09.549 --> 00:12:15.080
Doylestown Township, Pennsylvania in 1979. Makes her 47 today. Started

195
00:12:15.139 --> 00:12:18.159
out in an all-girl group. Then this female record executive

196
00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:19.340
came up to her and said, you know what, you'd

197
00:12:19.360 --> 00:12:22.600
make a really good solo artist. 60 million albums later,

198
00:12:22.899 --> 00:12:26.019
I guess that female record executive was right. Now, you

199
00:12:26.059 --> 00:12:28.519
can just tell that Pink is just, she's just cool. Now,

200
00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:31.240
her boyfriend was a motocross racer. She held up a

201
00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:33.500
sign proposing to him during the middle of one of

202
00:12:33.539 --> 00:12:35.919
his races. Must have said yes because they got married

203
00:12:36.379 --> 00:12:39.350
in 2006 and they have one son and one daughter. Well,

204

thank you all for listening today. Now, England's Queen Elizabeth II,

205

she died two years ago today at 96 years old.

206
00:12:46.129 --> 00:12:49.250
The Queen said, while life seems hard, the courageous do

207
00:12:49.289 --> 00:12:51.730
not lie down and accept defeat. They're all the more

208
00:12:51.769 --> 00:12:54.960

00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:14.700
Maybe on the bus, staring through the glass.

00:14:14.740 --> 00:14:18.090
Saw the spiky hair, mine is just a mess.
