Today's September the 26th. Today is National Pancake Day. Pancakes, I go all the way back to ancient Greece, but they've actually been created all over the world by pretty much every culture you can think of. I mean, Europe, they start out with crepes, Indonesia, they do theirs with rice and coconut. Uganda makes theirs from bananas, Ecuador, plantains, yeah, you get the idea. Here in America, we pick them from every flavor you can possibly imagine, so you should be able to find some pancake that you like today. Now, there are two national pancake days, one's in February and is put out by IOP, but today it's more for your local diners, they're the ones that have the specials, and you're supposed to make them at home too if you can. So enjoy some pancakes today. All right, let's see what's going on in entertainment on September the 26th. Let's go back here in 2005. Kanye West had the number one album with late registration. Kanye and Jamie Foxx had the number one song with Gold Digger. She take my money, well, I'm in need, yes, she's a trifling friend indeed, oh she's a Gold Digger, well over time, that dig on me. That's the only part of the song we could play without getting an explicit warning. All right, Sarah Evans, she had the number one country song with a real fine place to start. The number one book was "Polar Shift" by Clive Cusler and Paul Kemperakos. The top movie was "Flight Plan". Nobody fostered her daughters, they were flying from Berlin over to America at 300,000 feet, her daughter disappeared. Yep, no one would even admit that the little girl wasn't even on the plane. All right, what happened on September the 26th, 1580, Sir Francis Drake, he arrived back in Plymouth, England, took him 33 months to sail all around the world. Now he wasn't the first to do it, but he was the first person to map it. 1789, Thomas Jefferson, he was sworn in as the first United States Secretary of State. John Jay, he was sworn in as the first Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Now Jay, it actually served as the sixth president of the Continental Congress. 1829, Scotland Yard, that's England's Criminal Investigation Service. They opened for business, so why is it called Scotland Yard? Well, their first headquarters was in a house that was up against Scotland Yard. Now this would be, this would just suck. In 1960, Cuba's leader Fidel Castro gave a four-hour and 20-minute speech at the United Nations. Let's sit through that. Well, that night in 1960, 75 million people watched the first televised presidential debate in the United States history. Richard Nixon, he went ahead with John Kennedy. Now the interesting part about that was the people who watched the debate on TV, they say that John Kennedy won, but those who listened to it on the radio, they said Nixon won. 1973, the supersonic Jet the Concorde made its first flight across the Atlantic Ocean, whether from Washington DC over to Paris in three hours and 33 minutes about what it takes to get through security nowadays. 1990, the moving rating, NC-17, it was created. That means no child under 17 can go in with the movie, even with a parent or guardian. See, it replaced the X rating. See, the X rating, it had gotten taken over by the porn industry, so the regular movie industry, they wanted nothing to do with that. So the first movie to get NC-17 rating was Henry and June. It starred Uma Thurman, Fred Ward, and Kevin Spacey, so why did it get an NC-17? Well, it showed a postcard that was sexually explicit, it had a Japanese woman and a squid going out. Alright, some TV shows that debuted on September the 26th. In 1962, you had Beverly Hillbillies, killed against Ireland debuted in 1964, the Brady Bunch 1969, Knight Rider 1982, Cop Rock in 1990, and 2010, downtown Abbey. So, it was born on September the 26th. Johnny Appleseed, he was born John Chapman in Lowminster of Massachusetts in 1774. Yeah, he was a real guy, and not just a folk legend or something, but he made it up. He was actually a Christian minister. He is responsible for apple trees being planted in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Ontario, Canada, and some other places. Now, Apples, they are not native to the United States, no, Johnny, he didn't just walk around throwing seeds, though. No, what he actually did is he planted orchards and nurseries, then he would get a caretaker to watch over them, then they would sell those trees to farmers and landowners. Now the way he lived, he was probably pretty much the first hippie. He just traveled around planting and selling trees, never married, and he died suddenly in 1845 and 70 years old, and he is buried in Fort Wayne, Indiana, you can even go see his grave. Now, I'm sure most of you have seen the classic Christmas movie Miracle on 34th Street, but the guy who played Kris Kringo was Edwin Gwynn, he was born in London, England in 1877. Won an Oscar for playing Kris Kringo in that. He had a pretty good movie career, he was in a lot of Alfred Hitchcock movies. He died from a stroke in 1952, just a couple of weeks before his 82nd birthday. Pope Paul VI, he was born Giovanni Montini in Conchacio, Italy in 1897. Now he was the 262nd pope, his reign ran from 1963 to 1978. Now he has actually thought of as the first modern pope, say he was the first pope to ride in an airplane, he was the first pope to visit Israel, and he was the first pope to visit the United States. He was made a saint in 2018, now he died from a heart attack back in 1978 at 80 years old. Most of you are way too young, remember the great Jacqueline Lane, Jacqui was born in San Francisco in 1914, he was the first famous fitness and nutrition superstar, 1936, he opened up the first gym, then from 1951 to 1985, he had the Jacqueline TV show, he was the first exercise show anywhere you could possibly think, and that was way before anybody else did it. He wrote books, he sold exercise equipment, he sold nutrition stuff, you know, one thing he got really famous for, he would do these famous feats of fitness. For example, to celebrate his 70th birthday, he swam one mile pulling 70 row boats with people in the row boats, oh it wasn't magic, he was just a healthy guy, he married a second wife in 1959, they had three kids, and 2011, Jacqui wasn't feeling well, well he hadn't felt well for a while, but he would not go to the doctor, they kept asking, no he wouldn't go, wouldn't go. Then one day when he finished up his morning workout, yeah they had to rush him to the hospital, he ended up dying from pneumonia, 96 years old. Out in the West Texas town of El Paso, I fell in love with a Mexican girl, nighttime would find me in Rose's cantina, music would play in 30 new world. Country singer Marty Robbins, he was born in Glendale, Arizona in 1925, now from the 1940s to their 1980s, yeah Marty is one of the top country artists out there, at least 52 albums had 17 number one songs, 82 top 40 hits, that song we played El Paso, and we went to number one on the pop charts, Marty his success in music allowed him to finance his own NASCAR team, that's right, he raced NASCAR for 13 years, he did it between shows, he had seven top 10 finishes, he married and they had a son and a daughter, and Marty died from quadruple bypass surgery in 1982 at 57 years old. The first thing you know old Jeb's a millionaire, the kinfolk said Jeb moved away from there, said California is a place you ought to be, so they loaded up the truck and moved to Beverly, hills that is, swimming pools, movie stars, a Beverly Hillbilly. Actress Donna Douglas was born in Pride Louisiana in 1932, she was the best known for playing LMA Clampet on the TV show, the Beverly Hillbilly's, now earlier I said the Beverly Hillbilly's debuted today in 1962, yes, that meant that Donna, she was 30 years old, yep it was a 30th birthday, so who had any idea that LMA was actually 30 years old. Donna, she was typecast as LMA and she could not get any acting jobs at all, so she just quit and had become a real estate engine and then she sold, saying gospel, she did some inspirational speaking and that kind of stuff, she had a son from her first husband, then she divorced her second husband just after a couple years, she died in 2015 from pancreatic cancer at 82 years old. That was country singer Lynn Anderson, she was born in Grand Forks North Dakota in 1947, she considered her true pioneer in country music, she was one of the first female country singers that they allowed to write in some of her own songs, sold over 30 million records, some of her number one songs are Rose Garden, you are my man, keep me in mind, what a man my man is, she had a daughter from her first husband, two kids from her second husband, she had divorced that guy and he tried to run over with the tractor, then she lived with another guy from 1989 until she died in 2015 and 67 years old from a heart attack. That song, if not for you, was the second song that Olivia Newton-John ever released back in 1971, made it all up to number one on the United States adult contemporary chart. Olivia, she was born in Cambridge, England in 1948, she moved her family to Australia when she was five, sold over 100 million records, her song physical, it was the number one song for the whole 1980's, as an actress she was in grave sanitary to have a kind, she had a daughter from her first husband, married her second husband in 2008, Olivia, she five breast cancer three times, sadly it finally got her in 2022 at 73 years old, actress Linda Hamilton, she was born in 1956 in Salisbury, Maryland, she's 68, her first movies that she starred in were children of the corn and tagged the assassination game, then she got really famous as playing Sarah Connor in the Terminator and of course all the Terminator sequels. Linda, she had a really good run on TV, she played Catherine on Beauty and the Beast, she was the beauty, Linda, she had a son from her first husband and she married actor or director James Cameron, they had a daughter, then James, he offered Linda the role of playing Molly Brown in the movie The Titanic, Linda said no and she wanted a divorce, see James was sleeping with one of the actresses that were in the movie, now the 50 million dollars Linda got from that divorce was a lot more money than she would have gotten playing Molly Brown, Mr. Gene, Jim Caviezel, he's 56, he was born in Mount Vernon, Washington in 1968, his first starring role in the movie was the Thin Red Line, then he got really famous playing Jesus in the Passion of the Christ, then he did the escape plan, running from grace, sound of freedom, he started on the TV show, Personal Interest for like five years, Jim he married in 1996 and they have three daughters, now when Jim was filming when he was playing Jesus in the movie Passion of the Christ when they were filming it, he separated his shoulder, he was struck by lightning, he got pneumonia and he got a 13 inch gash across his back and he suffered from hypothermia, just thinking he hadn't done a good job playing Jesus. You know her best from young Sheldon, actress Zoe Perry, she was born in Chicago in 1983, she's 41, her mom is actress Lori Metcalf, who played Sheldon's mom on the big thing theory, so it makes sense that Zoe would play Sheldon's mom on young Sheldon, back in the sitcom Roseanne, Zoe, she actually played Lori's character's flashback series when she was supposed to be a little girl, now Zoe, she did actually have to adaption for that part, they didn't just give it to her, Zoe, she married in 2021, all right let's go back to pancakes. The first prepaid pancake, flour mix and Jemima 1889, now it's racist, all right let's end with actor Paul Newman, he died today in 2008 at 83 years old, Paul's in, people stay married because they want to, not because the door is locked, you guys have an awesome day and we'll talk tomorrow.
