5
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:22,840

6
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: stripping it down, using parts elsewhere. All right, yeah, what

7
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: are you talking about? Well, um, Chuck, I think you

8
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 1: know exactly what I'm talking about. But you and I

9
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: went to Sirius XM headquarters in New York in their studios.

10
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 1: We got like fifty stuff you should Know listeners to

11
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 1: show up and they sat there and watched us do

12
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: uh live radio show live the tape and it was

13
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: about July four. It was about America, totally fun and

14
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,279
Speaker 1: Neto and Uh, I'm kind of like this live show thing.

15
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: It's like it's like, you know, it's a little weird

16
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: at first, but I think we got over that in

17
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: the first few minutes. I never did no plus. Also,

18
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,119
Speaker 1: I don't know if you'll be able to pick this up,

19
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: but starting in about the thirty minute mark, I became

20
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:15,559
Speaker 1: almost overwhelmed with the need to go to bathroom. Yeah

21
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 1: you told me this afterwards, I had to so badly

22
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 1: and I was just holding it because I drank so

23
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 1: much water. Remember, I was nervously drinking water, which is

24
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:25,839
Speaker 1: like the dumbest thing you can do before you're about

25
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: to sit down and for two hours. Yeah, so I

26
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 1: guess listen out for that as we present this two

27
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 1: parter episode, which helps for us because one of our

28
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: listeners send in some beer and Jerry's refusing to do

29
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: anything for this week because she's mad at us because

30
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: we didn't share it with her. So this is good

31
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: for us, right, Yeah, Yeah, I didn't know that went down.

32
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: This is why we're doing this. We're releasing this for

83
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,120

85
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,520

86
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 1: we usually do have headphones and apparently we're the only

87
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,920

88
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,160

00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 1: should change now, Chuck. I just don't want to get

90
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: him sweaty. Okay, so let's start. Um, we're gonna start.

91
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,119
Speaker 1: We We recently did a podcast on America's first murder.

92
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: I think it came out yesterday, right, Yeah, who was it?

93
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 1: John Billington' that's we just gave away the ending. Um

94
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 1: he uh we we We were digging around like doing

95
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: research for this pod cast. Um and uh, I don't

96
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: know how many of you have heard it or not,

97
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 1: hopefully very few because we ripped off some of the

98
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 1: content from it for this part. But um, one of

99
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 1: the things we found was that um, John Billington, who

100
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: was a Puritan and lived in Plymouth colony. Um. When

101
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: we started digging around in Plymouth, calling me, there's this

102
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: whole semi underbelly Puritan we should do that. Yeah. Yeah,

103
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: the Puritans um that that there was this whole life

104
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: of crime that like we had no idea existed. And

105
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 1: so we started digging further and further. We came to realize, like,

106
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: America is kind of this like crazy place, right for

107
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 1: a reason, It's been built like echelon by echelon upun

108
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: crazy upon crazy right, right, So so we figured we

109
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: we just kind of go over some of the the

110
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: factors that led to the craziness that that was taking

111
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 1: on the British right. And we had our good friend

112
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 1: Wyatt Senak come by to to talk to us about that. Right, Hey,

113
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 1: why you want to come sit with us? Why not?

114
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: Why a senecal everybody? I'm are you gonna wear them?

115
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: Because I'm a professional. These headphones were probably worn by

116
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: Bridget the Midget on Howard Stern Show. Yeah, you see

117
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: that door is tightly sealed. I asked if I could

118
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: take a peek since no one's here this weekend. They

119
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: said no, no, no one peaks. No, they keep Bababuie

120
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: in there her medically sealed. Let me out. Yeah, Um, so,

121
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 1: why as as I'm sure everyone here knows you are,

122
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: um formally trained in uh colonial American history. You have

123
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: a doctorate in it, right? I do. I have a

124
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: doctorate from, uh the University of Hawaii. Go Warriors, right,

125
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: Rainbow Warriors. No, it's the University of Hawaii at Arkansas.

126
00:07:54,560 --> 00:08:00,040
Speaker 1: Go Warrior. Yeah. Um, well that's why we invited you.

127
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: You buy here today. Are you familiar with some of

128
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: the uh, the the semior underbelly of American history or

129
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: are you just kind of part and parcel to the

130
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: you know, the the textbook stuff. I know the textbook

131
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: stuff that you know, and I know the stuff that

132
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 1: they talk about in like reality shows when it's like, oh, yeah,

133
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: you're gonna go live in like a house, or like

134
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 1: you're gonna go live in like you know. So I

135
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: assume it's it was like that where there were there

136
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: were camera crews following you everywhere, and we just haven't

137
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 1: found those tapes yet. I assume there are three quarter

138
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: inch tapes, So that's probably part of the problem. Nobody

139
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: has a three quarter inch machine anymore. Well, we're going

140
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: to uh, I guess open your eyes a little bit then,

141
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 1: are you cool with that? So? Um, chuck, one of

142
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:54,359
Speaker 1: the first things that we uh that we figured out. Um.

143
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 1: I guess what caught our attention is um the criminal

144
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: element that was in my colony with the the Puritans, right, yes,

145
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: And by criminal we mean specifically, uh, buggery. Are you

146
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: familiar with buggery? Not on an intimate but I do

147
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: know what I do know what buggery is. I should

148
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: point out real quick that there was an email exchange

149
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: last week, a real email exchange, where Josh had written

150
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: this out and said, you know, buggery is a very

151
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: polite term for best reality. It's so yeah, and I

152
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 1: had to send him a Neil said, hey, dude, by

153
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 1: the way, buggery is also sodom me. I have the

154
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: email still and it's framed and on my wall. I'm

155
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,199
Speaker 1: just curious if we have those people at work that

156
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 1: like spying your email. All it literally said was, by

157
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 1: the way, buggery is also saddomy. Josh, Well, I want

158
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: you to know that. I also like the idea that

159
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: like that, in the time when buggery was popular, that

160
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 1: perhaps if you were a registered buggerer, that like somebody

161
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:59,839
Speaker 1: was like, gross, you're you mess around with animals and

162
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: someone would get indignant like no, no, I do not.

163
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 1: I am a sodomist, A very proud one. How dare no?

164
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 1: I would never do that to an animal. They're beautiful creatures,

165
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: especially that one. Yeah, okay, maybe I would. Alright, you

166
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: got me. I'm an all around buggerast there was an

167
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: actual buggers that we came across, right, His name is

168
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: Thomas Granger? And um, can you read Old English? Uh? Sure? So?

169
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: This is this is a This is a quote from them,

170
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 1: the court records of Plymouth Colony. I think in like

171
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: six thirty one? Do you do you mind taking it?

172
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: It's right here? Sure, just read. That's just a test

173
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: to see if I know how to read read Old English.

174
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 1: They use their vs. Oh is that what that is? Okay?

175
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 1: Do you want me to read it in Old English? Yeah?

176
00:10:56,559 --> 00:11:04,479
Speaker 1: Of course it's almost scroll late servants, slutely bruster of ducksborrow?

177
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: Was this court? That's how everyone used to sound in America.

178
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 1: Was this court indited for buggery with a mayor, a cow,

179
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: two goats, dive of sheep, two calves, and a turkey,

180
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: and was found guilty and received sentence of death by

181
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: hanging until he was dead. So that's what happened to

182
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: you if you were called I guess this guy is

183
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: probably like the worst serial buggerist that Plymouth Colony produced

184
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: that you know of, but that I can find record.

185
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: But what I was gonna say, it does seem like, Okay,

186
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 1: so there's a mayor, a cow, two goats, some sheep,

187
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,439
Speaker 1: some calves which I don't know if they're related to

188
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 1: the cow, and a turkey like it does. And I

189
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 1: was saying this to you earlier. Uh. For whatever people

190
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 1: want to say about our technological distractions that we have,

191
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 1: those may be the only things keeping us from having

192
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: sex with animals. This is clearly these are board people

193
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: that they're just like, I'm bored, and there are no

194
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 1: singles bars. There's just that barn, just that barn and

195
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 1: this groin. Let's makes something happen. Also, I'm just gonna

196
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: say this, I'm gonna throw this out there. The turkey.

197
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 1: How do we know that turkey didn't bugger the man?

198
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: I think that's an excellent point. Yeah. But so Thomas Granger, right,

199
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: he's he's hank filled dead as you just read um

200
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,719
Speaker 1: and he got it, would have you believe, right, Well,

201
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 1: that's that's the court records. That's what they say, right,

202
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: But the ghost of Thomas Granger. Right, it's still around.

203
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: He's not in the barn. Yeah. Well, it's like that movie.

204
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 1: What was the movie where the guy who got electric

205
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 1: key with the death and then like soccer? Was that shocker?

206
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 1: I don't know. Did he come back to life the

207
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: Green Shocker? Okay, oh no, no, no, I just want

208
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 1: to talk about that's a clean show, and I know

209
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 1: it just we've been talking about Balty for like seven minutes.

210
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 1: That's true. I'm sorry, it's good he did that. He

211
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: did the old English voice and everything. So well. The

212
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 1: point is that there was crazy crime in in Plymouth Colony.

213
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: Are you seeing that now? The Puritans? Sure? Yeah? Um

214
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: and uh. He got off kind of harshly because he

215
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 1: was a pretty pretty big into the buggery. Other people

216
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 1: would be enjoyed the he got off. I tried not

217
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: to laugh so hard. There was something in the air

218
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 1: and everybody needed to release it. I think we're all

219
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 1: more appreciative of it now that we've got it out there. Yes,

220
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 1: but he so he was hanged. Other people were putting

221
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: the stocks. Right, if you, uh were a gossip, you

222
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: would be dunked on the log is one one type

223
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,839
Speaker 1: of punishment. So there's a lot of crime. There's a

224
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 1: lot of punishment, right, weird punishment for weird crime exactly,

225
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: Like gossiping was one that you would get you dunked

226
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: on a log in a lake that seems like a

227
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: weird yeah, which I imagine you'd be tied to the log, gir.

228
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: Else they just put you on a log and dunky

229
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: and you just fall off and be fine, went back

230
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: to shore and be like can I go back home now?

231
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: But again it goes that idea of boredom where it's

232
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: like we need to punish this person, right, you know,

233
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 1: you can put them in the stocks. That's that's boring,

234
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: Like well, no, with the stocks, like apparently people would come,

235
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: like they close school down and people would come from

236
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 1: surrounding villages to children laugh and they would have a

237
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 1: sign that said what their crime was obviously sort of

238
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: like the scarlet letter. So being in the stocks was

239
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: like being a stand up comedian basically what sort of

240
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: you talk about all of your problems or in this case,

241
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: they put a sign up of all your problems and

242
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: people would laugh at them. I think there's less money

243
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: and stand up though, as I understand it, so um

244
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: apparently finding a house is a really really difficult thing, right,

245
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: it was very difficult. Like, they lived in caves originally. Yeah,

246
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: did you know this. I didn't know this that they

247
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: lived that there was some there was a lot of

248
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 1: cave living. So yeah. So they so they get to

249
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: the New World and they're like, well, I don't know

250
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: how to build a house. I thought you knew how

251
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: to build a house. And they had to live in

252
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: caves a while until they figured out how to build

253
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: a house. And then the houses they built were, um,

254
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: really crude and rudimentary, like they were. They were thatched,

255
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: covered in mud with sticks, with maybe a hole in

256
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: the in the top, right, which apparently still kills two

257
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: million people a year. Did you know that I had

258
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: to bring me down. Having a hole in your roof

259
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: kills two millions. Not having a hole in your roof

260
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: particulate matter. Fact, Yeah, it really is. So wait, so

261
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 1: you're saying like, if you live in an apartment, because

262
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: there's no hole in your apartment, you're you're dead, right

263
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: only if you're in your apartment right now, get out.

264
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 1: Don't cook anything with dung in your apartment. And that's

265
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: actually good to know just in general, that's why people

266
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: die though it's sad, it's not funny. No, but and

267
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 1: and um and apparently in the colonies to that, you

268
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: had to keep your fire going because no one had matches, right,

269
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: so if you let your fire go out, you had

270
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 1: you go to the neighbor's house and borrow a charcoal. Yeah,

271
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: and it sounds I don't know, people are living in caves,

272
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 1: they don't have fire. It sounds like, uh, I don't understand. Yeah,

273
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: I thought they were a little more advanced than that.

274
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: And you know, it was apparently a roll bumber because

275
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 1: you had to start your own fire. And I don't know,

276
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: I don't buy it. There's something though about like they

277
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: had to keep their fire going, like all the time

278
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: that you look at just how far we have or

279
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: have not common that they wasted a lot of energy

280
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: back then and we still do it today thanks for fathers.

281
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: Very true. But the hole in the roof we bring

282
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 1: up because it would also you know, it's kind of crappy,

283
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: it would let in rain and snow and other drastic elements.

284
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 1: So the one guy who could build the houses, Thomas Stranger,

285
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 1: I guess, wasn't around, so they so they had to

286
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: find once they got sick of the caves they had

287
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 1: to find. That's where that comes from. Yeah, that's called quest.

288
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:29,640
Speaker 1: Bugging out is all about. Oh, there was a New

289
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 1: York animal sex and scene that they were. It was

290
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 1: a warning to people like, look, you don't want to

291
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 1: be bugging out because they will hang you to death,

292
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,880
Speaker 1: that's right, and death by hanging until you were dead,

293
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: which I thought was a little weird. So they eventually

294
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 1: did get houses though, because there were these people that

295
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 1: maybe you've not heard of, called Indians that lived in

296
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,679
Speaker 1: this country, and uh, we did a nice job of

297
00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 1: coming over and killing them with disease thanks to it

298
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,159
Speaker 1: was it Desto that brought over the pigs. Here was

299
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: one of them, but yeah, De Soto brought over like

300
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: three to eat and he just made him walk around

301
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 1: until he kill him and eat them because you can't

302
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: really pack a lunch back then, right, Well, I mean

303
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 1: it makes sense, it makes sense. But they spread like pox. Yeah,

304
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 1: so the pigs killed the Indians and then they're like, hey,

305
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: now we got a place to live. Look at all

306
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,400
Speaker 1: these awesome Indian huts. It took them a little while

307
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:26,920
Speaker 1: to figure it out, but then they that's the first

308
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: example of gentrification. It was. That was the Williamsburg Brooklyn

309
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 1: of colonial life. So, um, we've got cave living. We

310
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 1: have a lot of a lot of abandoned dead Indian houses, right,

311
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 1: since we now agreed, are the first hipsters right right?

312
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: I'm sure they also had twirly mustaches, right, yeah it did. Yeah.

313
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 1: Um And and then uh, you pretty much have to

314
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,680
Speaker 1: make anything that you you know, want, right, It didn't

315
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: bring anything over with them. See, to like churn butter,

316
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 1: you had to plant crops. He had to so crops

317
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 1: is that so? Is that same thing as plant harvest read? Yes,

318
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:18,679
Speaker 1: so so seeds yes? Um? And you fear the reaper.

319
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 1: You have to make your candles um. And pretty much

320
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: like so it is everything that hipsters and williamsburn exactly.

321
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 1: We're uncovering a thread here that like I didn't realize

322
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 1: it was in there. If you want to see colonial America,

323
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:39,439
Speaker 1: that's why it is. That is colonial Williamsburg. It's not

324
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,440
Speaker 1: in Virginia. Yeah, that's wow. Look at that. It all

325
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 1: came around the brain is working, not feeling well in

326
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: the tummy, but the brain function and he just turns

327
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 1: it on like that. I know. It's amazing. Um, and

328
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 1: then so you've got all this work, right, You've got

329
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 1: indentured servants. At first, Yeah, they came over with a

330
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: promise of land, right, like, hey, I'll come up there

331
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 1: work for you for you know, four years if you

332
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 1: give me a parcel. And then it's like AmeriCorps, right

333
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:12,880
Speaker 1: pretty much. And then they ran out right, I think

334
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 1: most of them got hung. And then just like America,

335
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:22,239
Speaker 1: somebody figured out that if you left um, Massachusetts and

336
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 1: just followed the trade winds, it took you right to

337
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 1: West Africa. So apparently we started to go to West

338
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: Africa and get all sorts of free labor, and like

339
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:34,400
Speaker 1: between fourteen fifty nine hundred, like eleven million people were

340
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 1: captured and brought to the America's right, it's one way

341
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: to say it. Yeah, that's one way to put it. Um.

342
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 1: So we've got now everything in place, right. We have

343
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:50,919
Speaker 1: crazed like um animals, starved hipsters running around. These are

344
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 1: the columnists with the will to carve out, you know,

345
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: their place in the wilderness. You've got um uh, we

346
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: have slave labor, we have dead Indians um, and we

347
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 1: have butter churning right, the whole thing. Everything, it's just

348
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 1: a really rotten life for everybody involved. Right, But out

349
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,640
Speaker 1: of all this came like these cities around sev Dred.

350
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: A little after that, you've got cities like Boston and Philadelphia,

351
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 1: and they were starting to get nicer and nicer, and

352
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 1: people started to take a little more pride in them,

353
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,439
Speaker 1: and um, all of a sudden, the British start flexing

354
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 1: their muscles, right, And uh, I think because of the

355
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 1: niceness of the cities, you you have this a certain

356
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 1: level of resentment among the colonists of being told what

357
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: to do. Like you're you're familiar with the Stamp Act.

358
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 1: That was a big one, the t act that led

359
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:40,159
Speaker 1: to the Boston Tea Party. Okay, yeah, I don't realized

360
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 1: that was all forms of paper at the time, is

361
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 1: that right, the Stamp Act. Yeah, yeah, like any piece

362
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: of paper you had to pay a tax on. They

363
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: just didn't like that. It's kind of weird tax if

364
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: you think about it. The t tex really joving crazy though,

365
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: And then you had to a quarter British soldiers, which

366
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 1: meant like let them stay in your house, which is

367
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 1: kind of a thing too, which is nice if you

368
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:05,160
Speaker 1: need like a roommate or something like, yeah, I'm kind

369
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: of lonely and there's no TV back. Now you need

370
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: like an extra hand around the house, right, yeah, yeah, right,

371
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 1: Hey British soldier, would you mind grabbing me out of

372
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: the non existent fridge? My arms about to fall off? Yeah. Um, well,

373
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 1: so I guess you're right. I think you make a

374
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 1: pretty good point that like quartering British soldiers weren't that bad.

375
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 1: So it was the taxes I think that really got them.

376
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 1: And um, one of the things that the colonists did

377
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 1: was to um, basically tar and feather text collectors. Are

378
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 1: you familiar with this processing feather? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, they

379
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 1: still do it in Williamsburg. Bring it all back to Williamsbrook.

380
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:48,919
Speaker 1: It's the only thing I know. And so so it's

381
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,679
Speaker 1: a it's a pretty horrific process, right, I mean, to

382
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,640
Speaker 1: get the tar onto somebody's skin because that boils because

383
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 1: it's gonna be hot, right, and then the feathers is

384
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 1: just adding insult to injury. Yeah, I'm sure that point.

385
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: The feathers are probably not as bad. It was just like,

386
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 1: oh god, this tar, Oh this is terrible. Why are

387
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,679
Speaker 1: you putting feather? I mean that's fine, but really the

388
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 1: tar you could have just stopped at the tar perfectly, honest,

389
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 1: Oh this hurts so much. Well, then the feathers might

390
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 1: have provided a nice cooling effect. You never know, and

391
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: that was their little secret. They were like, no, not

392
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:27,640
Speaker 1: the feathers. It looks like a chicken. But it's okay,

393
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:31,679
Speaker 1: Oh thank you, hollow feather. The wind blows through you

394
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 1: so well. But whether without the feathers, it was pretty

395
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 1: awful right to have the hot tar. World agreed on that. Yeah,

396
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 1: you point out specifically in here that it's a lot

397
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: worse than you might think, you know. I was like,

398
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 1: it's actually I thought to begin with it, it was

399
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 1: probably pretty bad. Well, no, it's so cartoonist, you know,

400
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 1: taring and feathering somebody I think Scooby Doo did it before.

401
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 1: It just seems like, you know, what's a big deal.

402
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: But then you think, well, a hot boiling tar. You

403
00:23:56,080 --> 00:24:01,359
Speaker 1: ever been waxed? No, yeah, that's that's hot too. Yeah

404
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 1: well then because yeah, because then you gotta take it

405
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:08,199
Speaker 1: off and problem. Yeah, and it's like you use like

406
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 1: turpentine or which then that burns which when you and

407
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:16,439
Speaker 1: you maybe probably still have little chunks of tar on

408
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: you for the rest of your life, like you're never

409
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 1: totally clean, which is also like a time when everybody

410
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,880
Speaker 1: had bed bugs and like that was just a thing

411
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 1: like actually, Williamsburg is totally fine. We got rid of

412
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 1: the bed bugs there. It's all in bushwork. Those jerks.

413
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,159
Speaker 1: Um No. But that's like the weird thing when you

414
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 1: think about, like, oh, yeah, it would be interesting to

415
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 1: have a time machine and go back to that time

416
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 1: and see people. No it wouldn't. You got like some

417
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 1: guy who's still trying to like pick off tar on

418
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 1: his arm and then it's just like pock marked all

419
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 1: over from bed bugs and dysenterry or whatever else whatever

420
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 1: horrible things. People probably looked horrible. They like, that's the one,

421
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 1: like everybody looks like mutants back then, just saying no,

422
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,360
Speaker 1: it's not, it's really it's just a point that when

423
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 1: we look back at, you know, this time with like

424
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 1: great affection, we should also realize, like, these are some

425
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: awful looking mutant people. But I think I think that's

426
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 1: the point. I think they were aware of this. They

427
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 1: were aware that they had bed bugs, they were covered

428
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 1: in hot tar um they had did they just accepted

429
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,360
Speaker 1: as like like I feel like if all you know

430
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 1: is bed bugs, you don't know a world without bed bugs.

431
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:37,640
Speaker 1: Like you're just kind of like like if you if

432
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 1: you showed up, if you've got a time machine and

433
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: showed up like you are, you know, with your fancy

434
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 1: haircut and your exfoliated skin, people would be like a demon,

435
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:58,439
Speaker 1: where are his bug bites? He just pets that cow.

436
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 1: He doesn't try to have sex with him. Burn the

437
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 1: witch didn't put him on a log and dunk him.

438
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:10,199
Speaker 1: See but um, according to the um, the thing that

439
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 1: I wrote, though they were aware of it is the thing, right,

440
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 1: which is what drove them crazy to to you know,

441
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 1: they were crazy enough to take on the bridge, which

442
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 1: little known fact by the way, right this this um,

443
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,440
Speaker 1: this taxation that drove them to tar and feather people

444
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 1: without representation. Well that was the big problem. To keep

445
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 1: an eye on, d seat because they don't like it either, right, Um.

446
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,919
Speaker 1: But they these taxes, most of them were repealed because

447
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 1: of the tarring and feathering right before they were ever

448
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 1: even enacted. But the colonists still decided, no, we're gonna

449
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:45,479
Speaker 1: revolt anyway. We really like Philadelphia, it's pretty nice. We're

450
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: kind of tired of having you here. So they took

451
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:52,640
Speaker 1: on the world's largest military, the controller of the largest

452
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 1: empire from Canada to India. Canada, Canada, India. Yeah, I

453
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: had no idea. It's married had for a long time. Um.

454
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,439
Speaker 1: And and they won, right sure, Yeah, using things like

455
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: crazy guerrilla tactics. That was one way. Yeah, um. And

456
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 1: then so on what I think June eleventh, eighth Chuck,

457
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 1: June eleventh, the eighteenth only took that many days for T. J.

458
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 1: Thomas Jefferson, who also rewrote the Bible, and some of

459
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 1: you may know from listening to our show, he decided

460
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 1: to take a break from that blasphemy to draft the

461
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 1: Declaration of Independence, and it only took him what seven days?

462
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 1: Seven days? God created in the earth in seven days,

463
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 1: you'd think that, you know, it's not that long of

464
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 1: a document. Really, it's a one cheat, right, could just

465
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 1: bang that. I couldn't bang that out in a day

466
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:48,639
Speaker 1: in an afternoon? Seriously, right now, I bet all of

467
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 1: us could write our own declarations of independence, just text

468
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 1: it the one another. Yeah, we could just we could

469
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:58,719
Speaker 1: tweet some time at the end. Maybe everybody could just

470
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:02,399
Speaker 1: take a half hour to right there start reading them.

471
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 1: I think that would be a nice thing. I think

472
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 1: if everybody wrote their own declaration of independence. Uh and

473
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,640
Speaker 1: uh then we all put on hats with little tea

474
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:15,159
Speaker 1: bags on them and go to a tea party rally

475
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 1: and say this is the this is the declaration. We

476
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 1: should all follow this one because I don't like the

477
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:30,120
Speaker 1: current one because it got weird now somehow for some reason. Um, yeah, well,

478
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 1: thanks guys for stopping. But thanks. Yeah. Now let's get

479
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 1: back to midnight Sounds with thank you. Why it's tonack everybody,

480
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: thank you. This is stuff you should know about America

481
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 1: tend the serious X time studios in New York City.

482
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 1: Now more from Josh and Chuck. How about that holl

483
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 1: the better than you know that? Well, we're winging it.

484
00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 1: You know, are you staying? What? Yeah? I mean you

485
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 1: don't have to. I know you're not feeling Yeah. Why

486
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 1: it came in here, like on his deathbed to do this,

487
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 1: so goodbye? Why? Thank you everybody? And whyat I felt

488
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 1: like he was gonna stay and then I ran them out.

489
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 1: Clearly he told me he was leaving. It's not my fault.

490
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 1: So um, that's okay, right, Jill seems to think, So okay,

491
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: thanks j um. What do we have next, Chuck, We're

492
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna talk about America right throughout this. That's right,

493
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 1: And what's more American than baseball? Baseball? I'm holding up

494
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 1: a baseball for those of you listening in three hours

495
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 1: on Series X. M uh yeah, baseball. We thought about, hey,

496
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 1: we should do something on apple pie and baseball and Chevrolet.

497
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 1: But apple pie is kind of boring, and Chevrolet we

498
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 1: you know, there's obviously implications there. We've spent a little

499
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 1: time looking for a well pie recipe and realized that, yeah,

500
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 1: unless we could have somebody actually making it. As I understand,

501
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 1: it kind of sunk in pretty quickly that we weren't

502
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 1: going to do that apple to stick to baseball. But Chuck,

503
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 1: you're you're out of the two of us, you're definitely

504
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 1: the sports guy, right, Yes, so you want to you

505
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: want to tell everybody about Mordecai Brown. Yes, this is

506
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 1: the history and how to throw a curveball. We will

507
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 1: teach you all this so you can go practice at

508
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 1: home in Williamsburg. U. The curveball actually was not invented

509
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 1: by this guy, but it's definitely the better story of

510
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 1: of the three dudes who were kind of the first

511
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 1: ones that throw a curveball. And his name was Mordecai

512
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 1: Peter Centennial Brown, later to be known as Mordecai three

513
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 1: finger Brown. And that is foreshadowing, right, And he was

514
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 1: he was named centennial because he was born in eighty right,

515
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 1: But I didn't know that? Is that extra research? Yeah?

516
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 1: Well no, I mean he was born a hundred years

517
00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 1: after the country's birth, and says I figured it had

518
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 1: something to do with it, So he was named He

519
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 1: was a centennial baby, that's right. And he was a

520
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 1: baseball fan as a small child and wanted to play

521
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 1: in the big leagues, the burgeoning big leagues, and he

522
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 1: uh didn't heat his parents advice, and he put his

523
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 1: hand I would guess by accident into a witch chipper,

524
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 1: a food chopper, a food chopper, feed chopper, feed chopper.

525
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 1: It's a big difference what is for animals. And what

526
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 1: it did was it cut off I believe his index

527
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 1: finger on his right hand, and uh mangled the others.

528
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 1: And if that's not enough, a few weeks later, I

529
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 1: believe while he was still healing, he slipped and fell

530
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 1: and broke and mangled the rest of his fingers. He

531
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 1: was a he was a rambunctious young man. So that's

532
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: where he got the name three fingers, leaving him with

533
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 1: three and had his thumb. But they were very um

534
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: they were very accurate back then because tectually the thumb

535
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 1: is not a finger. That's right. Did you see a

536
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 1: picture of this guy's hand. No, isn't messed up. It

537
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 1: was messed up. He's got like the one finger that

538
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 1: was man literally made like a right turn at the

539
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 1: middle knuckle. But this was all good news. So don't

540
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 1: feel bad for Mordecai three fingers Brown because uh, what

541
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 1: he did years later he went to work in the

542
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 1: coal mines of western Indiana and this is not good

543
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 1: improved and uh. He had a coworker named Legs O'Connell.

544
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 1: I couldn't make this stuff up. His name was Legs o. Colin.

545
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 1: He was a former Big leaguer and he encouraged three fingers.

546
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, you should go try and pitch with

547
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 1: that funky looking hand, your friend. It might do some

548
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 1: weird stuff. And it did. What it did was it

549
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 1: caused a inordinate amount of pop spin that was very

550
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: frustrating at first until he realized that that top spin

551
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: curved the ball if he could control it. Advantage. That's right, Yeah,

552
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 1: because think about it, he's he's missing, he's down at

553
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 1: an index finger, so he's holding the ball like that. Yeah.

554
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's gonna produce top spin. And while I

555
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 1: was researching this in our office, I kept like going

556
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:05,239
Speaker 1: like this, yeah, yeah, that's exactly trying to figure out yea,

557
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 1: but yes, so we figured it out right, but I

558
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 1: think we should. I don't know if he fully understood it.

559
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 1: Mordecai Brown, right, three fingers, three fingers, Um, he mastered it.

560
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 1: Who knows if he fully understood it, because it was

561
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 1: only like twenty years earlier that a guy named Gustav

562
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 1: Magnus right came up with this, this idea called the

563
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 1: Magnus effect, that explains how a curveball works. Right. So

564
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 1: the physics of it are that the the spin of

565
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 1: the ball when you throw a curveball. And this is

566
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 1: mainly for you guys here in the studio audience, be

567
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 1: holding up this baseball. This is an apple pie, and

568
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 1: how you make it. But when you when you throw

569
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 1: a curveball and you give it topspin, the seams hit

570
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:51,719
Speaker 1: the air right, and the way they hit the air, um,

571
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 1: the flow of air causes friction, right, So there's like

572
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 1: you said, in an inordinate amount of friction on the

573
00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 1: on the top of the ball because it's fighting the

574
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 1: wind essentially right, So it's higher pressure here, lower pressure

575
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 1: down below because it's going with the wind exactly. Um.

576
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,359
Speaker 1: So it creates kind of this whirlpool underneath the ball,

577
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:11,759
Speaker 1: and the magnets force, which is the downward pull of

578
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 1: it into that whirl pool, causes a ball to suddenly drop.

579
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 1: That's right. And Magnus figured this out because I believe

580
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 1: it was he saw a spinning sphere underwater and notice it.

581
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 1: If it was spinning and water, it moved, it was

582
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 1: forced to move to the side. So he wasn't a

583
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 1: baseball guy. This is maybe before baseball, was it. Yeah,

584
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 1: it was like eighteen fifty. Do we have any baseball

585
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 1: fishingados Koobi eighteen fifty baseball? Yes or no? Not a baseball.

586
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:49,319
Speaker 1: So Magnets figures this out. Three Fingers figures this out.

587
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 1: Three Fingers played for the Cubbies in UH nineteen o

588
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,279
Speaker 1: three and was a member, a very important member of

589
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 1: the last World Series team the Cubs ever had in

590
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 1: nineteen o eight, nineteen o nine, nineteen o nine. He

591
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: was the that was their first pennant, and then they

592
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:08,439
Speaker 1: won consecutive pennants. Right, so the nineteen o nine Cubs

593
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 1: were the last ones to win the pennant. Right, you're right,

594
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:11,800
Speaker 1: but he did not invent the curveball. Is just the

595
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:16,919
Speaker 1: best story that kirkball is generally credited to Fred Goldsmith

596
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 1: and William Arthur Candy Cummings and I don't know why

597
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 1: I made air quotes. I don't know why he was

598
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 1: named Candy. But he was apparently five eight and twenty pounds,

599
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 1: so he may have just been a little plaything of

600
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:31,360
Speaker 1: a baseball player at the time, although he was probably

601
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:33,880
Speaker 1: big at the time. Yeah, yeah, but he was a

602
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:38,879
Speaker 1: giant foreshadowing. So um, when those guys were pitching, though,

603
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 1: like thirty years before, um three fingers like the the curveballer,

604
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 1: they called it the skew ball, the skew ball, and

605
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 1: pitchers were called twirlers. Right. Well, the twirlers who threw

606
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 1: skew balls were thought to be an ill repute because

607
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,799
Speaker 1: that was just kind of you know, the rules, Yeah,

608
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:57,239
Speaker 1: you can't throw a ball that curves. By the time

609
00:35:57,320 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 1: more it kind of came around, it was you know,

610
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 1: his curveball was so sweet that they let it in

611
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 1: plus the hand they kind of felt bad for him

612
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,799
Speaker 1: something to do it, so Chuck. There's also a lot

613
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 1: of discussion that's been going on, and I don't know

614
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 1: if it's still settled um or not, but there's there's

615
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:16,920
Speaker 1: a lot of people wonder if the curveball actually exists

616
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,320
Speaker 1: or if it's an optical illusion. Right, yeah, I remember

617
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 1: hearing about that a while ago, and I supposedly does exist.

618
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 1: The physicians are physicists totally. Physicists have have concluded that yes,

619
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:36,759
Speaker 1: the curveball does exist. It's this magnus effect um. But

620
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:40,320
Speaker 1: still there the the explanation of how it could be

621
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 1: an optical illusion. It is pretty interesting, right Yeah. This

622
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 1: guy from the University of Pennsylvania, Arthur Shapiro of Bucknell University,

623
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, in Pennsylvania is a real buzz kill of

624
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 1: a guy because he tried to prove it that the

625
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:57,759
Speaker 1: curveball didn't exist, right, and uh, he was wrong. Right. Yeah.

626
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 1: The way he saw it was that when you're standing

627
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 1: there taking a pitch, the ball comes from your central

628
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:06,399
Speaker 1: vision and then all of a sudden it hits your

629
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:09,840
Speaker 1: peripheral vision and at about that time it appears to

630
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 1: just jerk suddenly jump back. Um. That was his explanation

631
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:19,840
Speaker 1: for the optical illusion. But it looks like upon recent

632
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:22,320
Speaker 1: camera work that there is such a thing as a curveball.

633
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 1: It actually does move right, and it moves gradually. And

634
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 1: then the reason it appears to break so hard when

635
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:30,239
Speaker 1: you're in the batter's boxes because you're not facing the

636
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:32,800
Speaker 1: picture dead on. And I have a theory of the

637
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:36,440
Speaker 1: guys that have the more open stance and the ladies, uh,

638
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 1: maybe they hit curveballs a little bit better because they're

639
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 1: facing a picture amountain. I don't know if it's that's

640
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:44,880
Speaker 1: my own personal theory. That's fine, good stuff. We'll go

641
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 1: with that. You uh you, who's your favorite curveball thrower? Oh?

642
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 1: Even better, what's your favorite name for a curveball esque pitch? Oh? Boy,

643
00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:58,799
Speaker 1: I didn't know you're gonna ask me this. I'm gonna

644
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 1: go with the big break big. But I like the

645
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 1: fork ball. The forkball because there's different methods of throwing

646
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 1: the curve. There's the slider, yeah, and they all curve.

647
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 1: There's the Japanese shoot, though I've never heard of that one.

648
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:16,400
Speaker 1: I hadn't either until this one. They play baseball in Japan.

649
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:20,480
Speaker 1: And also I wanted to point out to that U

650
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 1: the raised stitches uh is white curves more and cheaters

651
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,919
Speaker 1: scuff up the ball. That's why in the old days

652
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 1: you would see pictures cheating with like an emery board

653
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 1: in their pocket and they would scuff up the ball

654
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 1: as much as possible. And also the reason why they

655
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:38,880
Speaker 1: switch out the baseball so much, because the more the

656
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 1: ball is scuffed up, the more it's gonna curve and

657
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 1: be unfair for the batters. There's some twirlers of ill repute,

658
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:47,920
Speaker 1: there's there are. And so that's a curveballs. You got

659
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:50,359
Speaker 1: anything else, I think that's it. Man, nice, that's curveballs.

660
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 1: This is stuff you should know about America from the

661
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 1: serious X time studios in New York City now more

662
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 1: or from Josh and Chuck and that was jazz hands.

663
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 1: Now I'll give people clapping every time somebody wants to fight,

664
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 1: you go like this. It's the starting classroom. So up

665
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 1: next we have something I am really excited about because

666
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:18,360
Speaker 1: I have no idea what we're in store for, to

667
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 1: be honest, I know that it is called Unsung American Exports,

668
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:25,479
Speaker 1: and I know our buddy Joe Garden from The Onion

669
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 1: and Joe Morris are going to present it, and that's

670
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 1: all I know. And ladies and gentlemen, Joe and Jill Gosh,

671
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 1: this is uh am. I I don't actually hear myself

672
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 1: being projected because we're in this sort of aquarium like structure.

673
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 1: It's called the fish bowl. The fishbowl, I feel like

674
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 1: the tresure chest in the fish bowl. You are um anyway,

675
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:50,400
Speaker 1: I would like to uh to point out Josh and

676
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 1: Chunk do not know what I'm doing. This is based

677
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 1: on my own research, and the press is really on.

678
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:57,360
Speaker 1: So I would like to encourage you all if you

679
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:01,800
Speaker 1: find factual inaccuracies, which you probably ill uh fact check gently,

680
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:04,880
Speaker 1: don't don't be angry, just sort of say, hey, you

681
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 1: know you made a mistake and uh correct corrected dust lye.

682
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 1: I also have another disclaimer. The following presentation contains information

683
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:16,319
Speaker 1: about sexually transmitted diseases, which we already sort of I mean,

684
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 1: I don't even know if I need this after after

685
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 1: the buttery uh. And it also breaks us to doubt

686
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 1: the question of a certain gift bearing figure popular with children.

687
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:26,880
Speaker 1: You may wish to usher those under the age of

688
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:32,799
Speaker 1: twelve out of the room. I'll wait, are they gone? Okay,

689
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 1: screw those kids anyway. Uh, wow, Jerry's cracking up over there.

690
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 1: She's she's not actually in the She's not actually here.

691
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 1: I decided to if I was gonna do a stuff

692
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 1: you should know event I was just gonna go waist

693
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 1: deep with it. I always wanted to say that. Um

694
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:51,879
Speaker 1: So moving on. I heard an interesting anecdote earlier this week.

695
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 1: Um as at a party that featured a lot more

696
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 1: taxiderman animals and I'm accustomed to seeing. And I met

697
00:40:56,920 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 1: a I met a Pakistani documentary and uh, and we

698
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 1: struck up a conversation. And in the course of in

699
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:06,279
Speaker 1: the course of our conversation, he found out I worked

700
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:08,320
Speaker 1: for the Onion. And he said, Oh, here's something you

701
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:12,319
Speaker 1: really should know. In my hometown of Karachi. Uh, there

702
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:14,799
Speaker 1: are you know, there are a lot of us. There

703
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 1: are a lot of like suicide bombings of subject covered

704
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 1: by an earlier podcast, um, and a lot of terrorist attacks.

705
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:25,919
Speaker 1: And uh. But the interesting thing is the terrorists usually

706
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 1: target KFC or Pizza Hut and almost never target McDonald's.

707
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 1: And I was really interested in this because when people

708
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:38,879
Speaker 1: think of American imperialist restaurant hegemony. Uh. They always think

709
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:41,319
Speaker 1: of the Golden arches. I mean it's everywhere. If I mean,

710
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:42,800
Speaker 1: I would have thought that somebody looking to attack of

711
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 1: somembol of the United States would have just gone to

712
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:47,920
Speaker 1: the to the McDonald's, no questions asked um. So I

713
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 1: asked why the terrorists choice was KFC. He said that

714
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 1: people just like McDonald's more so, this is yet another

715
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 1: way that I do not sympathize with terrorists. And we

716
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 1: had we had a McDonald before we came here. I

717
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:05,320
Speaker 1: did not. I am that's okay, So you did. I

718
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:08,000
Speaker 1: I used the WiFi and sit nervously, Uh at an

719
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:10,880
Speaker 1: imaginary pile of water. Uh. So I wasn't gonna get

720
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 1: kicked out. Um, but I haven't done so. Anyway, I

721
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 1: just like to put out I have not verified this

722
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:18,120
Speaker 1: fact to independent sources, so please use caution futures to

723
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:20,239
Speaker 1: repeat this fact as it stands. I'm not even sure

724
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:23,280
Speaker 1: how you would research something like that. I tried Google

725
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:27,840
Speaker 1: searching Karachi McDonald's bombings, Uh, karake KFC bombings. They have

726
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 1: both come up. Um. But if you do manage to

727
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:32,319
Speaker 1: verify it, please let me know, so I can use

728
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:36,320
Speaker 1: it again at future radio events. In any case, this

729
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:39,840
Speaker 1: all leeds bet to my team today. UH President Calladge Coolidge.

730
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:43,480
Speaker 1: Calvin Coolidge famously said, the business of America is business,

731
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:45,880
Speaker 1: and this maximums led the United States to all corners

732
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 1: of the globe. There's the transformers in China, there's Harley

733
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 1: Davidson's and Dubai Miller Beer in Germany. But what about

734
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 1: the exports that aren't monetized? Who will celebrate those things

735
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:57,640
Speaker 1: that have an impact it can't be measured in billions

736
00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:00,200
Speaker 1: or even hundreds of dollars. Why that person would me

737
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:03,759
Speaker 1: Joe Garden, with the assistance of Onion contributing writer Joe Morris,

738
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 1: who'll be providing pertinent fact notes or footnotes to my rambling.

739
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:11,479
Speaker 1: First up, Santa Claus, before you jumped on my throat,

740
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:13,279
Speaker 1: I'd like to a knowledge that Santa Claus is not

741
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:16,279
Speaker 1: of us origin per se. He's an amalgama of several

742
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 1: figures that drew from St. Nicholas. That it primarily drew

743
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 1: from St. Nicholas, who plays gifts in children's stockings hunting

744
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:26,160
Speaker 1: from the hearth every December five. After the Reformation, the

745
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 1: Dutch disavowed all Catholic saints, and particularly they tried to

746
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:33,840
Speaker 1: ban the celebration of St. Nicholas's holiday. But when you

747
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:35,879
Speaker 1: try to take a gift giving holiday away from people people,

748
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:38,239
Speaker 1: they don't react very well to it. So one thing

749
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 1: did is a Dutch change the name from St. Nicholas

750
00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 1: to uh, where is it again? Oh? Here we go.

751
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 1: The figure is Center Class, who would sail from Spain

752
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:49,320
Speaker 1: and travel from house to house and the company of

753
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:52,720
Speaker 1: Black Pete distributing spice nuts and candies. Two good children.

754
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 1: Black Pete was a devil Center Clause had defeated and

755
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:59,239
Speaker 1: made to do his bidding, usually depicted by the very

756
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:02,840
Speaker 1: Caucasian much as a man in black face. The legend

757
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:05,560
Speaker 1: changed in the eighteen fifties, at which point he became

758
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 1: a former slave that Santa Claus has freed. Dutch parents

759
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:11,799
Speaker 1: threatened their children by saying that if they're good, Black

760
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 1: Pete will bring them candy and toys, but if they're bad,

761
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 1: he'll stuff them in his double bag and take them

762
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 1: back to Spain. The early Dutch settlers but thought brought

763
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 1: Oh I'm sorry, yeah, the early Dutch settlers brought Santa

764
00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:26,320
Speaker 1: Claus back with them to the New World, where his

765
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:28,239
Speaker 1: name was changed to Santa Claus and the race of

766
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 1: the sidekick was dropped. An eighteen sixty three illustration of

767
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:34,319
Speaker 1: Santa Claus by Thomas Nass is generally credited as being

768
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 1: the first defining depiction of Santa Claus as the roton

769
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:39,680
Speaker 1: jolly figure we know today, and Coca Cola's use of

770
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 1: the characters cemented him in the American public consciousness. Now

771
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 1: he lives in the North Pole, whereas elves make the

772
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 1: toys he delivers too good children every Christmas Eve. The

773
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:49,719
Speaker 1: North Pole is the northernmost part of the world and

774
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:52,760
Speaker 1: is often written on an envelope which contains a child's

775
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 1: wishes for Santa, such which is may include please help

776
00:44:56,600 --> 00:45:01,560
Speaker 1: my parents get back together, please kill my parents, and

777
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:07,280
Speaker 1: gimme guinea guinea bike bike bike. As most cultural traditions

778
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:09,719
Speaker 1: brought to America, he was in short order repackages a

779
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:11,640
Speaker 1: pitchman and shoved down the throats of every human with

780
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:14,279
Speaker 1: two pieces of currency to rub together. All this would

781
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:16,399
Speaker 1: be finding good. But so long as Hollywood makes Santa

782
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:18,720
Speaker 1: themed entertainment and keeps appearing as a show for numerous

783
00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:21,920
Speaker 1: consumer goods, Santa refuses to be contained by American boundaries.

784
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:25,040
Speaker 1: As his popularity grows and spreads across the globe, Santa

785
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:27,400
Speaker 1: Claus is in danger of edging out local Christmas figures,

786
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:30,040
Speaker 1: and that's not sitting very well with these locals. A

787
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 1: school in Brighton, England, banned depictions of Father Christmas in

788
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:35,440
Speaker 1: a red suit, saying that it's smacked of commercialism. A

789
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:39,760
Speaker 1: group of check advertising professionals stated started an anti Santa

790
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:42,960
Speaker 1: Claus website uh to protest the replacement of its own

791
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:50,920
Speaker 1: gift giving figure, UH, pardon my check, genterle Hicks actually

792
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:56,400
Speaker 1: oh great, which it translates roughly as Baby Jesus. And

793
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:59,360
Speaker 1: in Austria, the christ Child brings gift to Austrian children,

794
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:02,360
Speaker 1: and some of the Austrian's mobilized to hand out anti

795
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:05,480
Speaker 1: Santa stickers because they didn't want them to to dominate.

796
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:07,480
Speaker 1: It seemed like I kind of a hopeless battle, though,

797
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:09,480
Speaker 1: because the jolly old Elf is coming to your land

798
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:12,560
Speaker 1: whether you like it or not. My next American export

799
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:14,440
Speaker 1: is a little harder to tie down than Santa Claus,

800
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:18,120
Speaker 1: but even further reaching. I'm speaking, of course, about syphilis.

801
00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 1: It's very difficult to pinpoint the origin of syphilis. There

802
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:25,400
Speaker 1: are no Thomas Nast drawings of the spirituet that causes

803
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:28,400
Speaker 1: the disease, nor was it popularized by a soft drink company.

804
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:33,960
Speaker 1: It was mostly popularized by the oldest profession in the world. Um. However,

805
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:37,279
Speaker 1: medical historians and anti anthropologists have determined that syphilis didn't

806
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:39,000
Speaker 1: exist in you Are prior to the discovery of the

807
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:43,760
Speaker 1: New World. When examining skeletal remains of pre nineteen fourto Europeans,

808
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 1: there's plenty of evidence of other diseases from the same

809
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:50,120
Speaker 1: species as syphilis, such as pinta and yawss are such

810
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:54,600
Speaker 1: great disease names. He yaws such. It sounds so old timey,

811
00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:57,399
Speaker 1: but it's also probably very terrifying. But none that both

812
00:46:57,400 --> 00:46:59,279
Speaker 1: the same end results of syphilis, such as the near

813
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:01,400
Speaker 1: destruction in the name a passage and the formation of

814
00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:05,320
Speaker 1: Carrie's sica. Carrious sica is a deformation of the bone

815
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:08,200
Speaker 1: that starts as a depression of the outer layer and

816
00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:11,400
Speaker 1: sometimes the middle layer. When it heals, it leaves a nodule,

817
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 1: resulting in bony protrusion surrounded by depression you. The commonly

818
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:20,239
Speaker 1: accepted theories that the venereal syphilis was brought back to

819
00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:23,279
Speaker 1: Europe by the member by members of Christopher Columbus Crew

820
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:25,920
Speaker 1: from the Dominican Republic. They left to find a new

821
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:28,520
Speaker 1: route to space, to the new route to uh India,

822
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 1: and instead came back with a disease that can result

823
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:33,759
Speaker 1: in madness and death. Even though Ulysses S. Grant wanted

824
00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:36,719
Speaker 1: to annex the Dominican Republic in eighteen seventy one, it

825
00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:39,600
Speaker 1: was rejected by Congress. It is a sovereign nation in

826
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:42,600
Speaker 1: the Caribbean, not part of the United States, and it's

827
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:44,839
Speaker 1: a stretch to include it in your little speech about

828
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:50,239
Speaker 1: American exp That may be true, Jill, but the United

829
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:52,759
Speaker 1: States recognized this Columbus Day as a holiday, and as

830
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:54,879
Speaker 1: a result, I think it's fair game. It's a new

831
00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:59,440
Speaker 1: world export. The first documented cases occurred in four in Naples, Italy,

832
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 1: after allowing its invasion by the French. As it was

833
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:04,279
Speaker 1: a venarial disease, no one wanted to lay claim to it.

834
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:07,760
Speaker 1: It was called the French pox by the Germans and English.

835
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:10,640
Speaker 1: The Russians called it the Polish sickness, and the Poles

836
00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:15,520
Speaker 1: in turn called the German sickness. However, it's spread and

837
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:18,840
Speaker 1: infected such notables as composer Franz Schubert, gangster al Capone,

838
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:23,480
Speaker 1: philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer, painter Edward Money, and possibly Hitler. So

839
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:28,640
Speaker 1: Joe Garden has endured many medical conditions, including appendicitis, model nucleosis,

840
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:33,600
Speaker 1: and several nasty flues. He has never contracted syphilis. I

841
00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:36,799
Speaker 1: had to use this little soapbox to advertise that fact.

842
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:39,520
Speaker 1: By the way, so this leads us to our next

843
00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:45,000
Speaker 1: to our next export, the raccoon. I know it's sort

844
00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 1: of a weird uh. You don't think of the raccoons

845
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:49,799
Speaker 1: as anything is, Like, you know, if you see them

846
00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:51,640
Speaker 1: on television or film, they always just sort of look cute.

847
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:54,440
Speaker 1: They're fuzzy, little bandit masks and graggy little paws are

848
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:56,719
Speaker 1: kind of adorable. They almos look like they have little

849
00:48:56,760 --> 00:49:00,399
Speaker 1: black human hands. They're very cute. But anybody's ever shine

850
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:03,360
Speaker 1: a flashlight and a rattling, rustling tree at night and

851
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:05,600
Speaker 1: seeing their beady little eyes glowering back at you know

852
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:08,200
Speaker 1: that there's something more sinister than a Grizzly Adam's sidekick.

853
00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:12,560
Speaker 1: Within the Life and Time of Grizzly Adams was a

854
00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:15,719
Speaker 1: television show about a man wrongly accused of murder who

855
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:18,759
Speaker 1: ran to the mountains and befriended raccoons, a bear, and

856
00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:21,240
Speaker 1: the guy who played Uncle Jesse on Dukes of Hazzards.

857
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:25,320
Speaker 1: It ran for two seasons in nineteen seventy seven and

858
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:28,920
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy eight. It's star Dan Haggerty was arrested for

859
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:35,160
Speaker 1: selling cocaine Indigenous in North America, raccoons can go to

860
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:37,879
Speaker 1: the size of a small dog. In two thousand six,

861
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:40,439
Speaker 1: they accounted from nearly thirty eight percent of rabies cases

862
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:43,200
Speaker 1: reported in the United States, edging out bats and skunks.

863
00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:46,440
Speaker 1: They made themselves at home in rural and urban environments

864
00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:48,480
Speaker 1: and are not terribly deterred by the presence of humans.

865
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:52,440
Speaker 1: A cursory research of raccoon plus cat door on YouTube

866
00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:54,840
Speaker 1: will send you down a rabbit hole of terrifying videos

867
00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:58,920
Speaker 1: featuring them entering homes to try to steal food. YouTube

868
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:02,319
Speaker 1: is a video share website in which users upload their

869
00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:06,520
Speaker 1: own videos to that others may watch right and comment

870
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:09,759
Speaker 1: on them. This joke is originally by Josh Clark and

871
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:16,320
Speaker 1: a previous stuff You Should Know podcasts. Yes, raccoons are jerks,

872
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:19,640
Speaker 1: but did you also know they have a Nazi connection?

873
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:25,719
Speaker 1: You should know what Nazis are. It's true. Uh. In

874
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:28,440
Speaker 1: nineteen thirty four, a German animal breeder approach to the

875
00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:31,800
Speaker 1: Rich Forestry Office then headed by Herman Gearing with a

876
00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:34,000
Speaker 1: plan to breathe the raccoon in order to enrich the

877
00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:37,640
Speaker 1: local fauna. The rationalbums that they would be popular game

878
00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:40,560
Speaker 1: for hunters and their pelts. The pelts could be put

879
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 1: to good us. But they didn't count on was that

880
00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:50,040
Speaker 1: the credit the crafty credits powers of exponential Reproduction. It

881
00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:52,239
Speaker 1: looks so good on paper, that phrase, and say it

882
00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:56,920
Speaker 1: the crafty credits powers of exponential reproduction. Thank you. Uh. Now,

883
00:50:56,960 --> 00:50:59,640
Speaker 1: there between a hundred thousand and a million raccoons in

884
00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:02,080
Speaker 1: German and they haven't stopped there. They spread all over

885
00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:04,279
Speaker 1: the continental Europe and have even crossed the Channel through

886
00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:09,120
Speaker 1: the channel and invaded England. Game over. Now, after those three,

887
00:51:09,120 --> 00:51:12,360
Speaker 1: I would like to end on a we're running pretty long, actually,

888
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:16,799
Speaker 1: so I apologize for that. Are you do you need

889
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:22,080
Speaker 1: some water? Okay? Uh, I can get sick later. But

890
00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:26,080
Speaker 1: he was, oh, never mind. Uh So anyway, I like

891
00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:29,200
Speaker 1: not a high note hip hop. Uh. In my lifetime,

892
00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:31,200
Speaker 1: there's been no cultural movement that it spread as far

893
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:34,120
Speaker 1: and as fast as hip hop. In fact, because it's

894
00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:36,520
Speaker 1: instill an art form in motion and because I'm running very,

895
00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:38,480
Speaker 1: very long, hip hop is going to get the short

896
00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:42,360
Speaker 1: shrift as usual. Um began at parties in the Bronx

897
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:45,680
Speaker 1: in the early nineteen seventies. DJ Or, Jamaican born DJ

898
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:47,800
Speaker 1: cool Hirk is considered the father of hip hop for

899
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:50,920
Speaker 1: introducing the concept of wrapping over music and break beats.

900
00:51:51,239 --> 00:51:54,239
Speaker 1: Breakbeats are the funkiest instrumental parts of a song that

901
00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:57,480
Speaker 1: are best suited for dancing at. DJ would isolate the

902
00:51:57,520 --> 00:52:00,479
Speaker 1: break beat on two different turntables to create a party

903
00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:03,279
Speaker 1: that can't stop. Won't stop a hip hop hip into

904
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:05,160
Speaker 1: the hip to the hip hip hop and you don't

905
00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:12,040
Speaker 1: stop rocking? Uh, And we've sold out of the Bronx

906
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:14,320
Speaker 1: and broke big when the song Rappers Delight In charted

907
00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:17,160
Speaker 1: on the Billboard one nineteen seventy nine. Since then, it's

908
00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:20,200
Speaker 1: been an unstoppable musical jugunat, dominating the American charts and

909

00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:46,640
