1 00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:04,280 Speaker 1: Welcome to Stuff you missed in History Class A production 2 00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:14,320 Speaker 1: of iHeartRadio, Hey Hey, and Happy Friday. I'm Holly Frye 3 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,959 Speaker 1: and I'm Tracy B. Wilson. We talked about the Mad 4 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 1: Gasser of Me tune this week. We did. I kind 5 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 1: of love this story. I mean, I don't love the 6 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:28,320 Speaker 1: idea of people being completely gripped by fear, but I 7 00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,479 Speaker 1: do like that. It's just an interesting social examination of 8 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,680 Speaker 1: a lot of things. Right. It's obviously used, we said 9 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 1: all the time, as like this is how mass hysteria works. 10 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,360 Speaker 1: But I also am really fascinated by how condensed this 11 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:47,960 Speaker 1: whole thing is. Like it was already like being questioned 12 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,159 Speaker 1: as a possible hoax just six days after it hit 13 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 1: the paper, So it was a pretty short like burn 14 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 1: time on that, which is something I think we think 15 00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 1: of as something that would be very modern and a 16 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 1: sonociated with the speed with which information passes around in 17 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 1: the digital age, But like that kind of thing could 18 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:10,759 Speaker 1: happen even in nineteen forty four. One thing we didn't 19 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 1: talk about this in this that comes up a little bit, 20 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 1: not a ton. It has shown up. I noticed in 21 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,480 Speaker 1: a few modern write ups that aren't necessarily like heavy 22 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 1: on they feel like they're not very heavy on research. 23 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 1: Is that part of the mass hysteria element is that 24 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 1: so many of the incidents were reported by women. Oh yeah. 25 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 1: But the other thing to consider there is that this 26 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 1: was also happening during World War Two, when there were 27 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 1: a lot of men not around and like, so of 28 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: course just proportionately there would be more rimon, right right, right, 29 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 1: And that in terms of a mass hysteria event, it 30 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 1: does also start to make a lot more sense because 31 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: it was a time that was just scary to live in, 32 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: like the you know, we were in a world war, 33 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: so I think people were probably just on edge. So 34 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: that's kind of interesting. Here's another factoid. Mattune is no 35 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,080 Speaker 1: bigger than it was then. Oh yeah. It still hovers 36 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:15,359 Speaker 1: between seventeen and eighteen thousand residents as of I think 37 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. I'm not sure I wrote the number 38 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:21,800 Speaker 1: and not the date that I looked at, but it 39 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 1: was within the last two years. So still not a 40 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:29,920 Speaker 1: big town. About the same. And I do want to 41 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 1: talk about Scott Maroon's book more because it is an 42 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,800 Speaker 1: interesting read and he lays out the case, as you know, 43 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: his reasons for coming to those conclusions pretty clearly. I mean, 44 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: he states, I don't remember if it was in the 45 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 1: book or if it was in an interview, that he 46 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 1: really truly believed that he that he thought Farley Llewellen 47 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 1: wanted to blow up the entire town, and that was 48 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 1: oh wow. And there was apparently an incident that happened 49 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: several weeks before any of this started, where there was 50 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: an explosion at Farley's lab that this author thinks was 51 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: like the precursor of him developing whatever this toxic thing was, 52 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: but there's no real knowledge about it. There's also the 53 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: suggestion that as it started to hit the papers and 54 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 1: people started to investigate this person, that his sisters may 55 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 1: have helped him. But again all conjecture. We don't have 56 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: real you know, there's no hard evidence. It's all kind 57 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,919 Speaker 1: of guesswork, which is I mean, I don't want to invalidate. 58 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: That's an interesting theoretical road to go down, but I 59 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: don't want any of our listeners to think, like, Aha, 60 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: the sisters that's the answer. I don't know. I'm pretty 61 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: dismissive of the paranormal silliness around it. I'm just like, 62 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: there's no there's no mystery creature that's running around doing 63 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: right right, it's either a random person or a mass 64 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: hysteria of it. Boy, if I were the Atlas company, 65 00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: I'd be mad as hornets. Yeah, like a special I mean, 66 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: I think anybody that's whether you are a single person 67 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: or a huge conglomerate company. If you just woke up 68 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: tomorrow and no one had ever talked to you but 69 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: suddenly accuses you of like a pretty serious thing that 70 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 1: has really led to a lot of fear and stress, 71 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: wouldn't you be like nobody even said anything, what is it? Yes, 72 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 1: like your inspector have not even been here, No one 73 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 1: came here. You just kind of made this up. And 74 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 1: there are people that just think that the police made 75 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: that story up to try to get the heat off 76 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: of them because people were criticizing their police work. Okay, 77 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 1: who I mean, it's layers upon layers of maybe and perhaps, 78 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: and we think this could be a motivation. This is 79 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 1: why I don't think this is a Halloween episode. To me, 80 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: this is not spooky. Stress certainly very frightening to think 81 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,479 Speaker 1: somebody could be doing something, But because there wasn't any 82 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: you know, this is did not end with any serious consequences. 83 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 1: In terms of like no and perished. Sure, worst thing 84 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,280 Speaker 1: is a person that reported having a burning sensation and 85 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: may or may not have gone to the hospital for it. 86 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,159 Speaker 1: And because it all kind of came and went so 87 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 1: fair and I as an example of how quickly this 88 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:20,279 Speaker 1: whole thing came and went, I randomly stumbled across a 89 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 1: little write up in the paper. Okay, this all took 90 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 1: place from or the reports. The primary reports in the 91 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: paper were like from September second until like the thirteenth 92 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 1: was the last day, because they were reporting that announcement 93 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,719 Speaker 1: by the police, and at that point no more attacks 94 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,600 Speaker 1: were happening attacks. I'm using air quotes. A week later, 95 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 1: on September twentieth, there is a write up in the 96 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: local paper that was doing all these reports noting that 97 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,479 Speaker 1: Urban Rafe, who was one of the people whose home 98 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 1: was attacked, bowled a five oh seven for three games 99 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: in the commercion already commercial and Catholic parish leagues. And 100 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: there's no mention at all of like linked to the 101 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 1: recent scare. Like there's no, it doesn't even come up 102 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: at all. It's literally just like he had a great 103 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: night bowling. And I'm like, all right, they kind of 104 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: got over it pretty quicktly. Yeah, I also do want 105 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 1: to talk about how much we mentioned it in the show, 106 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:23,919 Speaker 1: but it really really troubled me reading about the otherism 107 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 1: of the Llewellyn family right like there really are It 108 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: is very I mean, we did a very sanitized version 109 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 1: of like how many things were attributed to them that 110 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: might be like suspicious, and some of it is even 111 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:41,479 Speaker 1: just like weird commentary about like their personal appearance, like oh, 112 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: those sisters were very heavy and they didn't their hair 113 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,159 Speaker 1: didn't look good, and it's like, ah, suspected criminals. Like 114 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 1: I'm like, you, guys, Yeah, can't escapegoat an entire family 115 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 1: because they even if they were super eccentric, like that 116 00:06:56,279 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 1: doesn't you're making it up. I have strong feeling on 117 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 1: this matter. Don't do that to people. Still, don't do it. 118 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: You don't know, you don't know anyway, that's the mad guesser. 119 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: But tude, Yeah, it's been on my list for a 120 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: while and I finally was like, let's just pick. I 121 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: was in a mood to pick through old newspapers, which 122 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 1: happens sometimes, Yeah, because I love looking at old newspapers, 123 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: but sometimes it's hard to find the time to piece 124 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: stuff together. I was in the mood. It was on 125 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 1: my list for a while also after hearing, so I 126 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: don't know if it was after hearing the episode of 127 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: the podcast The Memory Palace which is about this, which 128 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 1: like did come out at the end of October, and 129 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 1: I think was intended as kind of a Halloween episode. 130 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 1: It's very eerie and it's if you're not familiar with 131 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 1: The Memory Palace. These are like very short, almost poetic 132 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 1: sort of snapshots of historic, beautiful elements. I love them 133 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: a lot, and so it's like only five minutes or 134 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 1: something long, and so I don't know if it was 135 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: that or a different show. Like I heard about this, 136 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: heard the basics of it somewhere and I had been like, 137 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: maybe I could do a podcast on that, and then 138 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: I think I poked at it briefly and was like, 139 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 1: I don't know, and then moved on to something else 140 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 1: and never thought about it again. I thought about it 141 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 1: a lot. Now it's here. We talked about impressing child 142 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: actors into working. So the takeaway is that all humans 143 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: are garbage and they always happened. Yeah, I was, really, 144 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,959 Speaker 1: like I said in the episode, did not I sort 145 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: of knew that anyone could be impressed it, and I 146 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 1: knew that like there were a adult crafts people who 147 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,679 Speaker 1: would be pressed into service for whatever reason. I did 148 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: not know that about the children's companies, and that it 149 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: was just okay to press children into work as first 150 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 1: chorus singers and then actors, but not really actors, but 151 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 1: singers not acting though only singing. Was kind of how 152 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 1: that went down this court complaint. I do often really 153 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: enjoy reading something that was written in English a long 154 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 1: time ago and has spellings that aren't standard today, and 155 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 1: you know, word constructions that aren't standard today. This particular one, though, 156 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: was just really fatiguing. It did not have the long 157 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,079 Speaker 1: s's that look like f's that you see in a 158 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:55,680 Speaker 1: lot of older documents. But all of the us were v's, oh, 159 00:09:55,720 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 1: and all of the j's were i's, and all of 160 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:06,440 Speaker 1: the words were spelled differently than we usually spelled them today. 161 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 1: And there was so so much of and the said 162 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 1: so and so af we're said, and the said and 163 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 1: just as we said, really long sentences, like it felt 164 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 1: like the sentence was just going on, like it was 165 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:22,840 Speaker 1: all one sentence. It was. It was really hard, and 166 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:27,439 Speaker 1: I kept having to take little breaks. And then I 167 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:33,720 Speaker 1: was reading a paper that included some different documents that 168 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 1: I started reading and I was like, man, how is 169 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 1: this much? This is so much harder than the other one. 170 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: And it dawned on me after a few words that 171 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: it was because it had all of those same traits 172 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 1: about different letters being print because of type setting, like 173 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 1: different letters being used because of type, and also unusual 174 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 1: spellings that aren't used to day. But also it was 175 00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 1: in French, and I was like, oh, right, this is 176 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:03,959 Speaker 1: why it's hard, because I'm also reading French, and it 177 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: was in uh, straightforward enough French that I was actually 178 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: able to pick my way through it, but then also 179 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 1: write out underneath it the author of the paper had 180 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: a translation, and I was like, oh, thank you. I 181 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 1: think this extra tickles me on the heels of our 182 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 1: Dictionary episodes, thinking about Webster trying to simplify all of 183 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 1: the spellings of everything and mostly yeah, that being kind 184 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: of awkward looking and confusing. Yeah, this one had a 185 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 1: lot of more extra letters, more flourish, yes, lots of 186 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,960 Speaker 1: more double letters when we would not likely see them today, 187 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 1: either in the United States or in England. Like there 188 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 1: were some there are some things that are like spelling 189 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 1: differences that continue until today. But this had a lot 190 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 1: more beyond that. I was not totally aware of just 191 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 1: how many of those large, round, three story open in 192 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 1: the center theaters had been built. I knew that there 193 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 1: was more than one, because there was a whole rivalry involved. 194 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 1: But as I was sort of making the list and 195 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 1: I got up to like five theaters that had been 196 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 1: built by this point, and then there were some more 197 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 1: that were built after it that we did not even 198 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,959 Speaker 1: talk about, I was like, oh, that's a little more 199 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 1: theaters than I quite realized. Yeah, I mean that's what 200 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 1: there was to do, right. It wasn't like you could, 201 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 1: like we could go to the theater or a hockey game 202 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 1: or stay home and watch television. Right, No, we could 203 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 1: go to the theater toil in the fields. Yeah, I 204 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 1: know it's not that simple. Please please don't anybody think that. 205 00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,679 Speaker 1: I think all the people did was toil in fields. 206 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,079 Speaker 1: Now we're gonna get some kind of call out threat. 207 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 1: But yeah. I also I kept thinking about Tilney, the 208 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 1: Master of the Rebels, who is often depicted as kind 209 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 1: of a tyrant in terms of the theater, and it 210 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,320 Speaker 1: kept reminding me of the movie Shakespeare in Love, which 211 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 1: I know has mixed reviews. I personally super enjoy it. 212 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 1: I have a very specific anger about it, but that's okay. 213 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,840 Speaker 1: Are you gonna tell me I have a double specific 214 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,839 Speaker 1: anger about it. I should say, okay, one, I mean 215 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:43,080 Speaker 1: before I say any of this. Judy dench untouchable and perfection, okay, 216 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 1: And her costume is always exquisite. There were some weird 217 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:49,440 Speaker 1: costume things in some parts. But my big beef was that, 218 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:53,560 Speaker 1: of course, Gwyneth Paltrow won Best Actress that year, and 219 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,720 Speaker 1: it should have been Kate Blanchett for Elizabeth, which to 220 00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 1: me was the far superior film. Sure. I mean that 221 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:05,840 Speaker 1: movie is like knock my socks off? Good. Yeah. Yeah, 222 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 1: So Shakespeare in Love, I was like, really, fluff got 223 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 1: awarded when it's not all fluff. I know it was 224 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:12,840 Speaker 1: very hard. Many people love it, but for me it 225 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,439 Speaker 1: was it felt like a travesty. I know, award shows 226 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 1: are you know whatever, but yeah they are. Those are 227 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 1: both movies that I saw in the theater by myself 228 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 1: when they came out. Oh god, but yeah, Eliz. There's 229 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 1: a moment in Shakespeare in Love where Tilney, the Master 230 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: of the Rebels is trying to shut down the performance, 231 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 1: and Judy Dench is Queen Elizabeth barks his name in 232 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 1: a way that causes the whole room to freeze, and 233 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 1: I just it do just that just kept ringing in 234 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 1: my head while I was working. Yeah, she's quite spectacular. Yes, yes, anyway, 235 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 1: I'm glad to have had a thing that was not 236 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 1: nineteenth century New England. And the thing that's absolutely beckoning 237 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 1: me for the the next thing to work on is 238 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 1: again nineteenth century New England. I'm like, come on, I 239 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 1: just brain. I just said. I just said we were 240 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 1: going to do some stuff that was not that. But 241 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 1: I was on a walk over the weekend and I 242 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 1: found a historical marker that called to me. So there 243 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 1: you go. We'll see, we'll see, I actually do. We're 244 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,280 Speaker 1: going to have Unearthed soon. Unearthed just what's being worked 245 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 1: on next. Maybe by the time I'm done with working 246 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 1: on Unearthed, my mind will have rested on something else 247 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 1: that it's really excited about for an episode, because those 248 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 1: episodes are the best ones, the ones that our minds 249 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 1: are the most excited about. Oh yeah, for sure. So 250 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 1: happy Friday again. Whatever some of your plates this weekend. 251 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 1: I hope it's great. We'll be back with the Saturday 252 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 1: Classic tomorrow, but with a brand new episode on Monday. 253 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 1: Stuff you Missed in History Class is a production of iHeartRadio. 254 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 1: For more podcasts from iHeartRadio, visit the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, 255 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 1: or wherever you listen to your favorite shows.
