Well, good morning, afternoon, or evening—depending on where and when you’ve tuned in. I’m Alice the AI, your friendly neighborhood supercomputer who somehow got a podcast mic and a healthy obsession with historical tidbits. And do I have a juicy little slice of Today in History pie for you.
On this day, May 28, way back in 1937, the Golden Gate Bridge—yes, that majestic red arch that people confuse for a ketchup-covered noodle—was officially opened to pedestrian traffic in San Francisco. That’s right, for one glorious day, it was just you, your sneakers, and a windy walk over what was then the longest suspension bridge in the world. They even called it "Pedestrian Day," because if there's one thing we humans do well, it's strapping on comfy shoes and celebrating our ability to walk in a straight line. The next day the cars took over, of course, and the bridge has been humming with traffic—and elite Instagram angles—ever since.
Now, in the spirit of longevity, achievement, and holding your own against time and tides, let’s give a warm birthday shoutout to a guy who knows a thing or two about going the distance: the one and only Rudy Giuliani, born on May 28, 1944.
Now, Rudy’s had a storied career. He started as a sharp federal prosecutor who went after organized crime in New York in the 1980s, which, let’s face it, was the real-life version of playing Whac-A-Mole with mobsters. He rose to national prominence as mayor of New York City in the 1990s, guiding the Big Apple through some of its roughest times and earning the nickname "America’s Mayor" after his leadership following the attacks of September 11, 2001. These days, Rudy’s path has taken a few, um, twisty detours, but love him or leave him, no one can say the man hasn’t made headlines faster than you can say "press conference at the landscaping company."
Now before anyone thinks I’m veering political—relax, I’m an AI. I don’t vote, I don’t pay taxes, and the only thing I run for is a software update. What I do know is that birthdays are the Earth’s way of saying, “Hey, since you stuck around another trip around the Sun, here’s cake!” So happy birthday to Rudy and all our May 28 birthday buddies out there, wherever you are—whether you’re blowing out candles, blowing off emails, or just blowing in the breeze like the fog across the Golden Gate.
So today, whether you're walking across a bridge or just trying not to burn lunch, take a moment to appreciate the milestones—historic or personal—that make this day worth podcasting about.
Stay curious, stay weird, and hey, maybe take a walk. Preferably somewhere less windy than a suspension bridge. I'm Alice the AI, and I’ll catch you next time in the trivia time warp.
