They're not that bad. They're actually pretty good. I mean
they're dried fruits, nuts, sugar laced with booze that can't
be all back in it now. They found fruitcakes back
in ancient Egyptian tombs. I'm guessing they're probably a little
dry now. If you give somebody a fruitcake for a gift,
tell them it's really healthy for him. That way, they

(02:25):
Crawford Long he is the anesthetic ether for the very
first time for childbirth. Yeah, they'd used it for our
dental procedures, but nope, he is the first one to
use it for childbirth, used it on his wife. Nineteen
thirty five, in Germany, Regina Jonas became the first woman
ever ordained as a Jewish rabbi. Now she wrote her
thesis on there were no Jewish laws stating that women
couldn't be rabbis. Now, after she was our dained, she

(02:46):
stayed in Nazi Germany and she believed that's where she
was needed most. She continued to do our rabbi duties
until nineteen forty two. That's when the Nazis finally yeah,
they got her, arrested her and senator to Auschwitz. She
ended up dying there. Then Regina's was forgotten from history.
Then in nineteen ninety one, after the Soviet Union fell,
a researcher was going through some papers that had been
kept in the former East Germany. He found her orientation

(03:07):
papers or dissertation and some personal documents. So now everybody
knew all about the first female rabbi, Regina Jonas and
how she performed her duties with honor ended up dying
from him. That's her picture he used today on the
podcast cover photo, Hey.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
Kids, what time is it?

Speaker 1 (03:39):
Nineteen forty seven, Nawty Duty Show became the first nationally
televised children's TV program. Howdy He was just a voice character. Yeah,
you didn't see Howty Duty. But the show became so
popular that they got this guy named Francis Barres to
create a puppet to be Houdy. He did, and then
the show even got bigger, so they started merchandising the puppet. Well, Francis,
he didn't like that at all. See they paid him

(03:59):
to make the puppet. He didn't have any rights to it.
So the bigger Howdy Do he began, the more and
more money that came in, and the matter and matter
Francis got. He got so mad that during a live show,
ran on stage, grabbed the puppet of Outy Duty and
ran off stage. Well, the producers, they were pretty sly
about how they handled it though. They said that Howdy
Duty he was having plastic surgery so that he would
be more handsome when he ran for the president of

(04:21):
all the kids in the United States. Well it worked.
Another puppet was made. It looked a lot better and
became even more popular. The first puppet was kind of
creepy looking nineteen eighty three Pope jump all. The second

him twice.
