Everybody wants that ice cream cone. Now you can eat it from the sides. You can eat it from the top. You can like it round and round like you're never going to stop. You can eat it in the morning. You can eat it in the night. You can eat it all at once. How? Or take a little bite. Today is the first day of fall. So why not celebrate National Ice Cream Cone Day? Woo-hoo! Now there is some controversy on who invented the ice cream cone. I'm going to go with the one that made it really popular. It was at the World's Fair in St. Louis in 1904 due to selling ice cream when he ran out of cups. The booth next to him was selling waffles. So I rolled up some waffles, topped them with some ice cream, and boom, huge hit. Everybody wanted ice cream cones. Now summer might be officially over. That doesn't have to feel like it. Go ahead and enjoy an ice cream cone today. All right, let's hit up an entertainment on September the 22nd in the year 1954. Number one album was The Student Prince by Mario Lanza. The crew cuts had the number one song with Shaboom. Do what I want you to. Baby, we'd be so far. No, life could be a dream. If I could take you up in paradise of above. If you would tell me I'm the only one that you love. Life could be a dream, sweetheart. Thanks, no, I had the number one country song with it. I don't hurt anymore. It don't hurt anymore. All my teardrops are dried. No more walking the floor with that burning inside. The number one book was Marianne by Daphne D. Morrier. Top movie was Sabrina, a rich playboy. He goes after his chauffeur's daughter, stars Humphrey Bogart, Audrey Hepford, and William Holden. All right, let's hit happen on September the 22nd. In the year of '66, Roman Emperor Nero, he created the Aligio 1 Italeo, Italeco. Say it was Aligian of soldiers who were all over a six feet tall. If you want an Aligian, that's about 4,000 to 6,000 soldiers. 1656, and Puxetent County, Maryland. A court appointed an all-female jury. First time ever in the Americas. Yeah, they were there to hear the case of Judith Katzpol. She was accused of murdering her baby and hiding the body. Judith's defense was she was never pregnant and had no baby. So they all woman jury. They were all told to go look at Judith's body. So Judith got undressed. The women they immediately and unanimously said, nah, she didn't have a kid. So she was set free to go. That's why they had an all-female jury. 1692, the last eight people were hung in Salem for their witch trials. Yeah, they brought the total of 19 people who were hung for being suspected of being witches. Now the governor of Massachusetts, he had had enough with that. Yep, he said, no more witch trials. Anybody who holds any more witch trials, they will be hung. So miraculously, there were no more witches in Massachusetts. It was today in 1776 that American patriot Nathan Hale was hung by the British in New York City. They hung him for being a spy. I mean, he was. As they were putting the news around his neck, he gave his famous proclamation. I only regret that I have but one life to lose from my country. Now the British are the ones who wrote it down. See, it wasn't just like Americans trying to growly and all that kind of stuff. No, the British said he said it. 1893, the brothers Charles and Frank Durya. They were well known bicycle makers. Yeah, they sound kind of like the right brothers. But instead of airplanes, they made the first automobile. Well, that was built in America. See, now today they busted it out and they cruise the streets of Springfield, Massachusetts. Yeah, the first car ever made in the US, like I said. Now think about this, the next time you hear of workers going on strike. In New Zealand in 1906, the domestic workers, they went on strike. They just wanted a standard 68 hour work week. In 1914, a German submarine sang three British warships. Killed 1,459 British soldiers. That was the first time in history a submarine had actually sank a warship, let alone three of them. 1975 in San Francisco, a former Marine, he was watching US President Gerald Ford as he was walking down the streets, you know, kind of like shaking hands and greeting the people who are around him. Then he had hit the arm of Sarah Jane Moore as she pulled out a gun and started shooting at him. He got her arm by the second shot. Nobody was hurt, but Moore, she said that the reason that she started shooting Ford is she was blinded by her political views. Wow, she was released from prison in 2007 after 32 years in jail. Now that Marine, his name was Oliver Siple. He had served two tours in Vietnam. He had been seriously wounded on the second tour, so he was actually on disability after that. We tried to make this easy. For some reason, the 22nd is a big day on TV. So here is a list of TV shows that debuted on September the 22nd. Maverick in 1957, Charlie's Angels in 1976, Family Ties in 1982, Full House in 1987, Baywatch in 1989, Friends in 1994, The West Wing in 1999, Two and a Half Men's 2003, Lost 2004, NCIS LA 2009.

Ellen Church. Ellen, she was born in Cresco, Iowa in 1904. In 1930, Ellen became the first female flight attendant. Yeah, it was on a flight from San Francisco to Chicago. The flight took 20 hours. Yeah, it made 13 stops along the way. Ellen, she was a registered nurse, but she really wanted to be a pilot, but they wouldn't let her. So it was either a flight attendant or nothing. So she took the flight attendant. Now, here were her qualifications and all the other female who wanted to be flight attendants back there in the beginning. Well, and you had to be a woman. You had to be a registered nurse. You had to be single. You had to be under 25 years old when you started. You had to weigh less than 115 pounds. You couldn't be any taller than five foot four, and you had to help refill the airplane, and you had to help push it back into the hangar. Now 18 months after Ellen's first flight, she was in a car crash and had to retire from being a flight attendant. So she got married. She ended up getting killed in 1965 when she was thrown from a horse at 60 years old. Mountain climber, Junko Tabay. She was born in my hero, Japan, in 1939. She was kind of a sickly kid, and then she started climbing when she was 10. 1975, she was the first woman to summit Mount Everest. 1992, she was the first woman to climb the seven summits. That means she climbed the highest mountain on every continent. She married and had two giz. Then in 2012, she diagnosed with stomach cancer. Four years later, she led a youth group up to the summit of Mount Fuji over there in Japan. About a couple months later, the cancer got her. She died at 77 years old. But this is pretty cool. There is an asteroid that's actually named for, and the mountain range on Pluto. Yeah, that's named for her also.
