Right, it's 0:00:20.400 --> 0:00:22.840 a podcast now, I guess it is. We're chopping it up, 0:00:23.160 --> 0:00:27.440 stripping it down, using parts elsewhere. All right, yeah, what 0:00:27.480 --> 0:00:29.960 are you talking about? Well, um, Chuck, I think you 0:00:30.000 --> 0:00:33.479 know exactly what I'm talking about. But you and I 0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:39.000 went to Sirius XM headquarters in New York in their studios. 0:00:39.600 --> 0:00:41.519 We got like fifty stuff you should Know listeners to 0:00:41.520 --> 0:00:44.240 show up and they sat there and watched us do 0:00:44.479 --> 0:00:47.720 uh live radio show live the tape and it was 0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:50.600 about July four. It was about America, totally fun and 0:00:50.880 --> 0:00:54.279 Neto and Uh, I'm kind of like this live show thing. 0:00:54.320 --> 0:00:57.360 It's like it's like, you know, it's a little weird 0:00:57.400 --> 0:01:00.200 at first, but I think we got over that in 0:01:00.200 --> 0:01:05.000 the first few minutes. I never did no plus. Also, 0:01:05.280 --> 0:01:07.119 I don't know if you'll be able to pick this up, 0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:10.880 but starting in about the thirty minute mark, I became 0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:15.559 almost overwhelmed with the need to go to bathroom. Yeah 0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:18.399 you told me this afterwards, I had to so badly 0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:20.680 and I was just holding it because I drank so 0:01:20.760 --> 0:01:23.960 much water. Remember, I was nervously drinking water, which is 0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:25.839 like the dumbest thing you can do before you're about 0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:29.840 to sit down and for two hours. Yeah, so I 0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:32.679 guess listen out for that as we present this two 0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:36.760 parter episode, which helps for us because one of our 0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:40.160 listeners send in some beer and Jerry's refusing to do 0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:43.240 anything for this week because she's mad at us because 0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:44.800 we didn't share it with her. So this is good 0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:47.240 for us, right, Yeah, Yeah, I didn't know that went down. 0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:49.680 This is why we're doing this.

We 0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:28.520 don't normally wear this is like behind the scenes. We 0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:31.360 we usually do have headphones and apparently we're the only 0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:33.920 ones who don't wear them at stuff. At stuff, you 0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:37.160 should know how stuff works. Yeah. I don't think we 0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:39.360 should change now, Chuck. I just don't want to get 0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:44.640 him sweaty. Okay, so let's start. Um, we're gonna start. 0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:48.119 We We recently did a podcast on America's first murder. 0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:50.680 I think it came out yesterday, right, Yeah, who was it? 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:56.159 John Billington' that's we just gave away the ending. Um 0:05:56.240 --> 0:05:58.920 he uh we we We were digging around like doing 0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:01.800 research for this pod cast. Um and uh, I don't 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:03.200 know how many of you have heard it or not, 0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:05.840 hopefully very few because we ripped off some of the 0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:08.280 content from it for this part. But um, one of 0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:11.920 the things we found was that um, John Billington, who 0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:16.680 was a Puritan and lived in Plymouth colony. Um. When 0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:18.880 we started digging around in Plymouth, calling me, there's this 0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:22.000 whole semi underbelly Puritan we should do that. Yeah. Yeah, 0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:25.800 the Puritans um that that there was this whole life 0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:29.440 of crime that like we had no idea existed. And 0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:32.040 so we started digging further and further. We came to realize, like, 0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:36.880 America is kind of this like crazy place, right for 0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:40.840 a reason, It's been built like echelon by echelon upun 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:44.080 crazy upon crazy right, right, So so we figured we 0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:47.080 we just kind of go over some of the the 0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:50.240 factors that led to the craziness that that was taking 0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:53.360 on the British right. And we had our good friend 0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:56.599 Wyatt Senak come by to to talk to us about that. Right, Hey, 0:06:56.640 --> 0:06:59.840 why you want to come sit with us? Why not? 0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:05.440 Why a senecal everybody? I'm are you gonna wear them? 0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:10.560 Because I'm a professional. These headphones were probably worn by 0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:15.600 Bridget the Midget on Howard Stern Show. Yeah, you see 0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:18.120 that door is tightly sealed. I asked if I could 0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:19.720 take a peek since no one's here this weekend. They 0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:24.800 said no, no, no one peaks. No, they keep Bababuie 0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:31.160 in there her medically sealed. Let me out. Yeah, Um, so, 0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:34.040 why as as I'm sure everyone here knows you are, 0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:39.480 um formally trained in uh colonial American history. You have 0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:42.280 a doctorate in it, right? I do. I have a 0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:47.720 doctorate from, uh the University of Hawaii. Go Warriors, right, 0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:52.480 Rainbow Warriors. No, it's the University of Hawaii at Arkansas. 0:07:54.560 --> 0:08:00.040 Go Warrior. Yeah. Um, well that's why we invited you. 0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:02.320 You buy here today. Are you familiar with some of 0:08:02.360 --> 0:08:06.560 the uh, the the semior underbelly of American history or 0:08:06.600 --> 0:08:08.840 are you just kind of part and parcel to the 0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:14.480 you know, the the textbook stuff. I know the textbook 0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:17.160 stuff that you know, and I know the stuff that 0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:20.200 they talk about in like reality shows when it's like, oh, yeah, 0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:23.080 you're gonna go live in like a house, or like 0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:26.240 you're gonna go live in like you know. So I 0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:29.800 assume it's it was like that where there were there 0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:33.880 were camera crews following you everywhere, and we just haven't 0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:36.560 found those tapes yet. I assume there are three quarter 0:08:36.600 --> 0:08:38.960 inch tapes, So that's probably part of the problem. Nobody 0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:44.480 has a three quarter inch machine anymore. Well, we're going 0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:47.000 to uh, I guess open your eyes a little bit then, 0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:50.320 are you cool with that? So? Um, chuck, one of 0:08:50.320 --> 0:08:54.359 the first things that we uh that we figured out. Um. 0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:58.960 I guess what caught our attention is um the criminal 0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:03.600 element that was in my colony with the the Puritans, right, yes, 0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:09.480 And by criminal we mean specifically, uh, buggery. Are you 0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:14.600 familiar with buggery? Not on an intimate but I do 0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:17.120 know what I do know what buggery is. I should 0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:19.000 point out real quick that there was an email exchange 0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:21.880 last week, a real email exchange, where Josh had written 0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:24.120 this out and said, you know, buggery is a very 0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:26.800 polite term for best reality. It's so yeah, and I 0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:28.560 had to send him a Neil said, hey, dude, by 0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:32.200 the way, buggery is also sodom me. I have the 0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:36.160 email still and it's framed and on my wall. I'm 0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:38.199 just curious if we have those people at work that 0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:40.679 like spying your email. All it literally said was, by 0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:43.199 the way, buggery is also saddomy. Josh, Well, I want 0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:45.760 you to know that. I also like the idea that 0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:50.600 like that, in the time when buggery was popular, that 0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:55.679 perhaps if you were a registered buggerer, that like somebody 0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:59.839 was like, gross, you're you mess around with animals and 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:03.120 someone would get indignant like no, no, I do not. 0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:09.680 I am a sodomist, A very proud one. How dare no? 0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:14.200 I would never do that to an animal. They're beautiful creatures, 0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:21.120 especially that one. Yeah, okay, maybe I would. Alright, you 0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:24.120 got me. I'm an all around buggerast there was an 0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:26.800 actual buggers that we came across, right, His name is 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:32.640 Thomas Granger? And um, can you read Old English? Uh? Sure? So? 0:10:32.800 --> 0:10:35.120 This is this is a This is a quote from them, 0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:38.320 the court records of Plymouth Colony. I think in like 0:10:38.400 --> 0:10:40.920 six thirty one? Do you do you mind taking it? 0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:44.360 It's right here? Sure, just read. That's just a test 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:47.000 to see if I know how to read read Old English. 0:10:48.320 --> 0:10:52.679 They use their vs. Oh is that what that is? Okay? 0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:56.560 Do you want me to read it in Old English? Yeah? 0:10:56.559 --> 0:11:04.479 Of course it's almost scroll late servants, slutely bruster of ducksborrow? 0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:08.800 Was this court? That's how everyone used to sound in America. 0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:15.320 Was this court indited for buggery with a mayor, a cow, 0:11:15.840 --> 0:11:23.360 two goats, dive of sheep, two calves, and a turkey, 0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:28.160 and was found guilty and received sentence of death by 0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:32.240 hanging until he was dead. So that's what happened to 0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:34.160 you if you were called I guess this guy is 0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:39.160 probably like the worst serial buggerist that Plymouth Colony produced 0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:41.760 that you know of, but that I can find record. 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:46.120 But what I was gonna say, it does seem like, Okay, 0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:48.840 so there's a mayor, a cow, two goats, some sheep, 0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:52.439 some calves which I don't know if they're related to 0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:57.200 the cow, and a turkey like it does. And I 0:11:57.280 --> 0:12:01.440 was saying this to you earlier. Uh. For whatever people 0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:04.320 want to say about our technological distractions that we have, 0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:10.319 those may be the only things keeping us from having 0:12:10.360 --> 0:12:14.480 sex with animals. This is clearly these are board people 0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:18.240 that they're just like, I'm bored, and there are no 0:12:18.400 --> 0:12:24.320 singles bars. There's just that barn, just that barn and 0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:32.200 this groin. Let's makes something happen. Also, I'm just gonna 0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:34.800 say this, I'm gonna throw this out there. The turkey. 0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:36.840 How do we know that turkey didn't bugger the man? 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:42.040 I think that's an excellent point. Yeah. But so Thomas Granger, right, 0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:45.280 he's he's hank filled dead as you just read um 0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:48.719 and he got it, would have you believe, right, Well, 0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:50.840 that's that's the court records. That's what they say, right, 0:12:51.000 --> 0:12:53.880 But the ghost of Thomas Granger. Right, it's still around. 0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:56.240 He's not in the barn. Yeah. Well, it's like that movie. 0:12:56.280 --> 0:12:57.960 What was the movie where the guy who got electric 0:12:58.000 --> 0:13:00.680 key with the death and then like soccer? Was that shocker? 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:06.320 I don't know. Did he come back to life the 0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:10.480 Green Shocker? Okay, oh no, no, no, I just want 0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:13.600 to talk about that's a clean show, and I know 0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:17.840 it just we've been talking about Balty for like seven minutes. 0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:22.200 That's true. I'm sorry, it's good he did that. He 0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:25.800 did the old English voice and everything. So well. The 0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:29.680 point is that there was crazy crime in in Plymouth Colony. 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:34.400 Are you seeing that now? The Puritans? Sure? Yeah? Um 0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:38.480 and uh. He got off kind of harshly because he 0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:41.720 was a pretty pretty big into the buggery. Other people 0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:45.680 would be enjoyed the he got off. I tried not 0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:49.520 to laugh so hard. There was something in the air 0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:51.640 and everybody needed to release it. I think we're all 0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:55.680 more appreciative of it now that we've got it out there. Yes, 0:13:56.440 --> 0:13:59.200 but he so he was hanged. Other people were putting 0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:02.800 the stocks. Right, if you, uh were a gossip, you 0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:06.520 would be dunked on the log is one one type 0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:08.839 of punishment. So there's a lot of crime. There's a 0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:12.560 lot of punishment, right, weird punishment for weird crime exactly, 0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:15.720 Like gossiping was one that you would get you dunked 0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:18.160 on a log in a lake that seems like a 0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:20.960 weird yeah, which I imagine you'd be tied to the log, gir. 0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:22.640 Else they just put you on a log and dunky 0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:24.720 and you just fall off and be fine, went back 0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:27.160 to shore and be like can I go back home now? 0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:30.120 But again it goes that idea of boredom where it's 0:14:30.160 --> 0:14:33.240 like we need to punish this person, right, you know, 0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:37.120 you can put them in the stocks. That's that's boring, 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:40.400 Like well, no, with the stocks, like apparently people would come, 0:14:40.480 --> 0:14:42.960 like they close school down and people would come from 0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:46.360 surrounding villages to children laugh and they would have a 0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:48.240 sign that said what their crime was obviously sort of 0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:51.040 like the scarlet letter. So being in the stocks was 0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:55.520 like being a stand up comedian basically what sort of 0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:58.720 you talk about all of your problems or in this case, 0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:00.520 they put a sign up of all your problems and 0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:02.200 people would laugh at them. I think there's less money 0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:06.240 and stand up though, as I understand it, so um 0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:09.760 apparently finding a house is a really really difficult thing, right, 0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:13.640 it was very difficult. Like, they lived in caves originally. Yeah, 0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:15.640 did you know this. I didn't know this that they 0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:17.200 lived that there was some there was a lot of 0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:19.560 cave living. So yeah. So they so they get to 0:15:19.600 --> 0:15:22.040 the New World and they're like, well, I don't know 0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:23.520 how to build a house. I thought you knew how 0:15:23.520 --> 0:15:25.560 to build a house. And they had to live in 0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:27.200 caves a while until they figured out how to build 0:15:27.200 --> 0:15:29.760 a house. And then the houses they built were, um, 0:15:29.800 --> 0:15:33.280 really crude and rudimentary, like they were. They were thatched, 0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:36.240 covered in mud with sticks, with maybe a hole in 0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:41.080 the in the top, right, which apparently still kills two 0:15:41.080 --> 0:15:43.520 million people a year. Did you know that I had 0:15:43.600 --> 0:15:46.160 to bring me down. Having a hole in your roof 0:15:46.240 --> 0:15:49.040 kills two millions. Not having a hole in your roof 0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:53.880 particulate matter. Fact, Yeah, it really is. So wait, so 0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:56.120 you're saying like, if you live in an apartment, because 0:15:56.120 --> 0:15:59.280 there's no hole in your apartment, you're you're dead, right 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:02.840 only if you're in your apartment right now, get out. 0:16:05.040 --> 0:16:08.120 Don't cook anything with dung in your apartment. And that's 0:16:08.120 --> 0:16:11.000 actually good to know just in general, that's why people 0:16:11.000 --> 0:16:13.880 die though it's sad, it's not funny. No, but and 0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:16.280 and um and apparently in the colonies to that, you 0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:20.360 had to keep your fire going because no one had matches, right, 0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:22.680 so if you let your fire go out, you had 0:16:22.680 --> 0:16:25.440 you go to the neighbor's house and borrow a charcoal. Yeah, 0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:28.160 and it sounds I don't know, people are living in caves, 0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:32.680 they don't have fire. It sounds like, uh, I don't understand. Yeah, 0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:34.840 I thought they were a little more advanced than that. 0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:37.120 And you know, it was apparently a roll bumber because 0:16:37.120 --> 0:16:39.280 you had to start your own fire. And I don't know, 0:16:39.320 --> 0:16:41.760 I don't buy it. There's something though about like they 0:16:41.760 --> 0:16:44.240 had to keep their fire going, like all the time 0:16:45.240 --> 0:16:49.480 that you look at just how far we have or 0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:52.880 have not common that they wasted a lot of energy 0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:59.360 back then and we still do it today thanks for fathers. 0:16:59.480 --> 0:17:01.600 Very true. But the hole in the roof we bring 0:17:01.680 --> 0:17:04.000 up because it would also you know, it's kind of crappy, 0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:08.840 it would let in rain and snow and other drastic elements. 0:17:09.440 --> 0:17:13.080 So the one guy who could build the houses, Thomas Stranger, 0:17:13.160 --> 0:17:17.119 I guess, wasn't around, so they so they had to 0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:20.000 find once they got sick of the caves they had 0:17:20.040 --> 0:17:25.520 to find. That's where that comes from. Yeah, that's called quest. 0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:29.640 Bugging out is all about. Oh, there was a New 0:17:29.720 --> 0:17:34.639 York animal sex and scene that they were. It was 0:17:34.680 --> 0:17:36.879 a warning to people like, look, you don't want to 0:17:36.880 --> 0:17:41.560 be bugging out because they will hang you to death, 0:17:41.720 --> 0:17:44.880 that's right, and death by hanging until you were dead, 0:17:45.000 --> 0:17:48.480 which I thought was a little weird. So they eventually 0:17:48.480 --> 0:17:51.280 did get houses though, because there were these people that 0:17:51.480 --> 0:17:53.520 maybe you've not heard of, called Indians that lived in 0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:56.679 this country, and uh, we did a nice job of 0:17:56.760 --> 0:18:01.159 coming over and killing them with disease thanks to it 0:18:01.280 --> 0:18:03.159 was it Desto that brought over the pigs. Here was 0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:04.840 one of them, but yeah, De Soto brought over like 0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:08.840 three to eat and he just made him walk around 0:18:08.920 --> 0:18:11.359 until he kill him and eat them because you can't 0:18:11.400 --> 0:18:13.520 really pack a lunch back then, right, Well, I mean 0:18:13.520 --> 0:18:17.440 it makes sense, it makes sense. But they spread like pox. Yeah, 0:18:17.480 --> 0:18:19.760 so the pigs killed the Indians and then they're like, hey, 0:18:19.800 --> 0:18:22.080 now we got a place to live. Look at all 0:18:22.080 --> 0:18:24.400 these awesome Indian huts. It took them a little while 0:18:24.440 --> 0:18:26.920 to figure it out, but then they that's the first 0:18:26.920 --> 0:18:34.080 example of gentrification. It was. That was the Williamsburg Brooklyn 0:18:37.560 --> 0:18:41.639 of colonial life. So, um, we've got cave living. We 0:18:41.720 --> 0:18:45.320 have a lot of a lot of abandoned dead Indian houses, right, 0:18:45.800 --> 0:18:49.440 since we now agreed, are the first hipsters right right? 0:18:50.200 --> 0:18:54.800 I'm sure they also had twirly mustaches, right, yeah it did. Yeah. 0:18:54.920 --> 0:18:57.960 Um And and then uh, you pretty much have to 0:18:58.000 --> 0:19:01.680 make anything that you you know, want, right, It didn't 0:19:01.680 --> 0:19:04.240 bring anything over with them. See, to like churn butter, 0:19:04.800 --> 0:19:08.600 you had to plant crops. He had to so crops 0:19:08.960 --> 0:19:12.240 is that so? Is that same thing as plant harvest read? Yes, 0:19:12.320 --> 0:19:18.679 so so seeds yes? Um? And you fear the reaper. 0:19:20.760 --> 0:19:24.200 You have to make your candles um. And pretty much 0:19:24.240 --> 0:19:27.520 like so it is everything that hipsters and williamsburn exactly. 0:19:29.119 --> 0:19:32.000 We're uncovering a thread here that like I didn't realize 0:19:32.040 --> 0:19:34.480 it was in there. If you want to see colonial America, 0:19:34.840 --> 0:19:39.439 that's why it is. That is colonial Williamsburg. It's not 0:19:39.480 --> 0:19:42.440 in Virginia. Yeah, that's wow. Look at that. It all 0:19:42.600 --> 0:19:47.280 came around the brain is working, not feeling well in 0:19:47.359 --> 0:19:52.040 the tummy, but the brain function and he just turns 0:19:52.040 --> 0:19:55.040 it on like that. I know. It's amazing. Um, and 0:19:55.040 --> 0:19:57.120 then so you've got all this work, right, You've got 0:19:57.160 --> 0:19:59.879 indentured servants. At first, Yeah, they came over with a 0:20:00.000 --> 0:20:02.000 promise of land, right, like, hey, I'll come up there 0:20:02.040 --> 0:20:03.720 work for you for you know, four years if you 0:20:03.720 --> 0:20:07.440 give me a parcel. And then it's like AmeriCorps, right 0:20:08.240 --> 0:20:12.880 pretty much. And then they ran out right, I think 0:20:12.920 --> 0:20:17.440 most of them got hung. And then just like America, 0:20:18.240 --> 0:20:22.239 somebody figured out that if you left um, Massachusetts and 0:20:22.280 --> 0:20:24.399 just followed the trade winds, it took you right to 0:20:24.560 --> 0:20:27.920 West Africa. So apparently we started to go to West 0:20:27.960 --> 0:20:30.280 Africa and get all sorts of free labor, and like 0:20:30.359 --> 0:20:34.400 between fourteen fifty nine hundred, like eleven million people were 0:20:34.440 --> 0:20:37.520 captured and brought to the America's right, it's one way 0:20:37.560 --> 0:20:39.840 to say it. Yeah, that's one way to put it. Um. 0:20:39.920 --> 0:20:44.080 So we've got now everything in place, right. We have 0:20:44.720 --> 0:20:50.919 crazed like um animals, starved hipsters running around. These are 0:20:50.920 --> 0:20:53.000 the columnists with the will to carve out, you know, 0:20:53.119 --> 0:20:56.320 their place in the wilderness. You've got um uh, we 0:20:56.400 --> 0:20:59.840 have slave labor, we have dead Indians um, and we 0:21:00.080 --> 0:21:04.399 have butter churning right, the whole thing. Everything, it's just 0:21:04.440 --> 0:21:08.440 a really rotten life for everybody involved. Right, But out 0:21:08.480 --> 0:21:11.640 of all this came like these cities around sev Dred. 0:21:11.960 --> 0:21:15.040 A little after that, you've got cities like Boston and Philadelphia, 0:21:15.040 --> 0:21:16.800 and they were starting to get nicer and nicer, and 0:21:16.960 --> 0:21:18.920 people started to take a little more pride in them, 0:21:19.200 --> 0:21:21.439 and um, all of a sudden, the British start flexing 0:21:21.480 --> 0:21:26.080 their muscles, right, And uh, I think because of the 0:21:26.160 --> 0:21:29.160 niceness of the cities, you you have this a certain 0:21:29.240 --> 0:21:32.119 level of resentment among the colonists of being told what 0:21:32.200 --> 0:21:34.520 to do. Like you're you're familiar with the Stamp Act. 0:21:34.840 --> 0:21:36.520 That was a big one, the t act that led 0:21:36.560 --> 0:21:40.159 to the Boston Tea Party. Okay, yeah, I don't realized 0:21:40.160 --> 0:21:41.879 that was all forms of paper at the time, is 0:21:41.920 --> 0:21:45.000 that right, the Stamp Act. Yeah, yeah, like any piece 0:21:45.000 --> 0:21:46.760 of paper you had to pay a tax on. They 0:21:46.840 --> 0:21:50.080 just didn't like that. It's kind of weird tax if 0:21:50.080 --> 0:21:53.080 you think about it. The t tex really joving crazy though, 0:21:53.400 --> 0:21:56.280 And then you had to a quarter British soldiers, which 0:21:56.280 --> 0:21:59.040 meant like let them stay in your house, which is 0:21:59.119 --> 0:22:01.320 kind of a thing too, which is nice if you 0:22:01.320 --> 0:22:05.160 need like a roommate or something like, yeah, I'm kind 0:22:05.160 --> 0:22:09.080 of lonely and there's no TV back. Now you need 0:22:09.080 --> 0:22:11.840 like an extra hand around the house, right, yeah, yeah, right, 0:22:12.200 --> 0:22:16.560 Hey British soldier, would you mind grabbing me out of 0:22:16.600 --> 0:22:23.760 the non existent fridge? My arms about to fall off? Yeah. Um, well, 0:22:24.200 --> 0:22:25.960 so I guess you're right. I think you make a 0:22:25.960 --> 0:22:29.240 pretty good point that like quartering British soldiers weren't that bad. 0:22:29.280 --> 0:22:31.280 So it was the taxes I think that really got them. 0:22:31.600 --> 0:22:34.040 And um, one of the things that the colonists did 0:22:34.560 --> 0:22:39.119 was to um, basically tar and feather text collectors. Are 0:22:39.119 --> 0:22:42.920 you familiar with this processing feather? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, they 0:22:42.920 --> 0:22:47.280 still do it in Williamsburg. Bring it all back to Williamsbrook. 0:22:47.280 --> 0:22:48.919 It's the only thing I know. And so so it's 0:22:48.960 --> 0:22:51.679 a it's a pretty horrific process, right, I mean, to 0:22:51.720 --> 0:22:54.640 get the tar onto somebody's skin because that boils because 0:22:54.680 --> 0:22:57.359 it's gonna be hot, right, and then the feathers is 0:22:57.440 --> 0:23:00.480 just adding insult to injury. Yeah, I'm sure that point. 0:23:00.480 --> 0:23:03.840 The feathers are probably not as bad. It was just like, 0:23:03.840 --> 0:23:07.840 oh god, this tar, Oh this is terrible. Why are 0:23:07.840 --> 0:23:10.679 you putting feather? I mean that's fine, but really the 0:23:10.760 --> 0:23:14.840 tar you could have just stopped at the tar perfectly, honest, 0:23:14.960 --> 0:23:17.800 Oh this hurts so much. Well, then the feathers might 0:23:17.800 --> 0:23:20.040 have provided a nice cooling effect. You never know, and 0:23:20.040 --> 0:23:21.840 that was their little secret. They were like, no, not 0:23:21.960 --> 0:23:27.640 the feathers. It looks like a chicken. But it's okay, 0:23:27.800 --> 0:23:31.679 Oh thank you, hollow feather. The wind blows through you 0:23:32.720 --> 0:23:35.560 so well. But whether without the feathers, it was pretty 0:23:35.560 --> 0:23:38.200 awful right to have the hot tar. World agreed on that. Yeah, 0:23:38.280 --> 0:23:40.440 you point out specifically in here that it's a lot 0:23:40.480 --> 0:23:42.240 worse than you might think, you know. I was like, 0:23:42.359 --> 0:23:44.600 it's actually I thought to begin with it, it was 0:23:44.600 --> 0:23:47.320 probably pretty bad. Well, no, it's so cartoonist, you know, 0:23:47.400 --> 0:23:50.480 taring and feathering somebody I think Scooby Doo did it before. 0:23:51.000 --> 0:23:53.560
