Speaker 1: Ridiculous History is a production of I Heart Radio. Ye,

2
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: welcome to the show Ridiculous Historians. Thank you so much

3
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: for tuning in. Uh this is this is near and

4
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 1: dear to my heart. I once upon a time had

5
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: an obsessive relationship with lemonade, even down to like the

6
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 1: etymology of it. Did you, guys ever have a lemonade phase?

7
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 1: Or did you have a lemonade stand when you were kids? Oh?

8
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: I'm Ben? Oh hey Ben, you did. I'm assuming this

9
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 1: is this means that you were a young lemonade entrepreneur.

10
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: Is that accurate? No? No, not at all. No. What

11
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: did you sell? Like more like like homemade napalm or something?

12
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: Or you more of like an an anarchist? Never mind,

13
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:06,759
Speaker 1: I don't know why I even said that. Go ahead,

14
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,479
Speaker 1: you know this is maybe a story for a different day.

15
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: But on my way to becoming an eagle Scout, I

16
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 1: sure hit the streets selling a lot of popcorn, which

17
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: is the far inferior boy scout go to sales thing.

18
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: I mean, girl scouts ran the ran the business with

19
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: the cookies. That's just undeniable. I I would have sold

20
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: maybe lemonade, I just I don't know. Would people buy it.

21
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 1: Did you sell anything as I could? I know I did. Um.

22
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 1: I did the popcorn thing, but it wasn't for boy Scouts.

23
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: It was for like just fundraising at school. I want

24
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: to say, you'd sell these like candied popcorn decorative tins,

25
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,559
Speaker 1: you know, for around the holidays. I want to say, Kasey,

26
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: would about you super producer Casey Pegram excuse me? Yeah,

27
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: I did the lemonade stand thing, and I don't know why.

28
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: I thought it was gonna be rich, Like I was

29
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: so psyched about it. Yeah. I was just like, man,

30
00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be rolling in the dough and when it's

31
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: when this lemonade stand hits. And then I also had

32
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: like a concession stand thing at my dad's office in

33
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: the break room. It was just like a little cardboard

34
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,359
Speaker 1: box with like candy bars in it and like a

35
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: little hole cut out to drop in like fifty cents

36
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: or a dollar when he bought something. Totally on our system,

37
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: but you know, a little bit of entrepreneurial spirit as

38
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 1: a kid. That's awesome. Dude. Was this around the same

39
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: time as your child model days? Yeah? Probably probably just afterwards,

40
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: you know, so that money wasn't coming in anymore, I

41
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,239
Speaker 1: had to find some other way to make ends meet.

42
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 1: So yeah, you know, in case, you always hear stories

43
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: on like how I built this, you know, and and

44
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: shows like that were like famous entrepreneurs are telling how

45
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: they got started, and so many of them are like

46
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: they figured out that they cornered the market on like

47
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: ring pops, you know, at a very early age. Um

48
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,399
Speaker 1: you were you were one of those. Um. Yeah, man,

49
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 1: I don't know. I never had a particularly great sense

50
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 1: of of economics. Um, but you know I've done okay. Uh.

51
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: I had the gift of gab, I guess, and I

52
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: got me somewhere. So what the gift of gab? The

53
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 1: gift of gab? You know, Gabbin, do you think we

54
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 1: have the gift of gap or do you think absolutely

55
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: you have to have the gift of gab to be

56
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: even even moderately successful podcast, which I would think we

57
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,519
Speaker 1: at least qualify as moderately successful. Um. But here's the thing.

58
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: I love lemonade to ben, and I've always wondered, like,

59
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: what is the deal with pink lemonade? Because you have

60
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: you got your pink lemonade, but then you also have

61
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 1: your raspberry lemonade, your strawberry lemonade, all the various you know,

62
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 1: types of crystal light, affied versions of lemonade, peach lemone,

63
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 1: I don't know, different fruited lemonades. But pink lemonade really

64
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: is its own thing. It doesn't really have a distinct flavor,

65
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: and yet people seem to like it because it's like

66
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: festive or something or I don't know what. What do

67
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: you think the deal is with? Why? What? What differentiates

68
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: pink lemonade with regular lemonade, just in terms of like

69
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: the optics of it from the consumer level. Well, I

70
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: hope we get to this today. I did some work

71
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: on this back in my food stuff days. Uh. Color

72
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: has a tremendous psychological effect on human beings. The color

73
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: of something doesn't just affect how much you eat of

74
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: a given substance or drink of a given substance. It

75
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: also affects how you perceive the taste. And it's weird.

76
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: It's beyond psychology. There's some neurochemistry involved. But pink. What

77
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 1: I like about that point is that pink is not

78
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 1: a flavor. Right. Uh. Everybody is probably thinking now of

79
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: Danny DeVito's role of Frank Reynolds and it's always sunny

80
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia, where he spends one episode insisting that he

81
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: only eats blue for his health, which to him is

82
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: just blue stuff. Pink lemonade. To your point, there's like

83
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 1: cranberry lemonade too, So what what gives? What? What puts

84
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 1: pink lemonade in this rarefied air, this rarefied picture. Well,

85
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: it turns out there's been a lot of research into

86
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 1: pink lemonade. Everybody knows probably what we're talking about. It's

87
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: a world it's world famous phenomena. Now Here in the US,

88
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: people often associate pink lemonade or lemonade in general with

89
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: a company called country Time. You guys remember country Time Lemonade.

90
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they're still out there. Maybe we'll even play.

91
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 1: I apologize for pinking you guys with weird lemonade commercials

92
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 1: leading up to this. I want to taste good old

93
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 1: fashioned lemonade with natural taste, like good old fashioned lemonade,

94
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,679
Speaker 1: Country Time lemonade flavor drink on sweeten two country Time

95
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: country Time tastes like that fashion lemonade. But maybe to

96
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: start the story of how we got to pink lemonade,

97
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: we can tell you that the origin may not be

98
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: as uh wholesome or inspiring as you expect. Uh it

99
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: may it may be downright a circus, right, but the

100
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,919
Speaker 1: story of lemonade itself actually begins in the ancient Far East.

101
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 1: A lot of people didn't know this. Lemons are from

102
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 1: like India, China and an Mar or Burma, that's right,

103
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 1: and it was you know, I mean, it's the kind

104
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: of thing where there's literally an expression that says taking

105
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: lemons and making lemonade, implying little lemon in and of

106
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: itself isn't like entirely useful, even though we know it

107
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 1: is in terms of like vitamin C and you know,

108
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 1: staving off scurvy and the like for sailors or what

109
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: have you. But yeah, I mean it, it's not a

110
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: far reach to think that it wouldn't take that much

111
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: for someone to maybe put together that, Oh if I

112
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: take this very sour tart thing, mix it together with

113
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: something sweet and a like a you know, water it down,

114
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: then I could have a refreshing drink. Um. And the

115
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: earliest examples of this kind of proto lemonade um, which

116
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: would have been lemon juice mixed with sugar, dated back

117
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: to medieval Egypt. There was a poet by the name

118
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: of nass Here Acustra who wrote about He was kind

119
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: of like, you know, you're like blogger of of eleventh

120
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:58,119
Speaker 1: century Egypt, and he referenced a very popular drink called

121
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: kastarmazat uh qatarmas that excuse me, um q a t

122
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 1: A r M I z a T and did my

123
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: level best there. Probably my pronunciation will fluctuate as this

124
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: episode goes on, but thankfully we're not talking about this

125
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: period and lemonade for the whole episode. Um. But yeah,

126
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: it was freshly squeezed lemon juice. Um. Often it was

127
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: sweetened with either cane sugar or I believe there were

128
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: versions of it that were sweetened with honey as well.

129
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: And it was a very popular drink that was sold

130
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: in these like outdoor markets in Cairo. And then you

131
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: had traders that would, you know, find out about these

132
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: things and bring them back to their next of the woods,

133
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: and you started to see these recipes kind of emerge

134
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: around thirteenth century in Arabic cookbooks, and even like Genghis

135
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: Khan's Mongol hordes Uh enjoyed a splash of lemonade from

136
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: time to time or as it was called katarmaz At,

137
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: and they particularly enjoyed um what we would now even

138
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:02,119
Speaker 1: referred to as spiked lemonade. You know, Mike spiked lemonade. Yeah,

139
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: I always I got last night. I was actually writing

140
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: a fake ad that I'm gonna save for later or

141
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: a different show with Jengis Mike's hard uh has like

142
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: a hard bikes lemonade ad. But yeah, one of the

143
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: many weird things associated with Jengis Khan in history is

144
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: uh Is. I'm I'm pronouncing this the way you pronounced

145
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: the country, so I'm saying mazat. But a lemon by

146
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:33,199
Speaker 1: any other name is still a lemon to grotesquely paraphrase, Uh.

147
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: Some better writers than than the three of us. As

148
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: this global trade expands, lemonade becomes pretty hot in Europe.

149
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: They like this stuff. They like these novelties. You know,

150
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: people in France love it. And there's even a company

151
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: of lemon ideas who form in the sixteen seventies. They

152
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: run around the streets of the fair Metropolis. They sell

153
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 1: lemonade by the glass directly from these backpacks. So these

154
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 1: guys wouldn't be too out of place at a rave.

155
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 1: You know what, I mean centuries from the sixteen hundreds.

156
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:14,559
Speaker 1: And now when we look at the spread of lemonade

157
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: to the United States, we know that this is a

158
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 1: popular drink in North and South America because one of

159
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: the key ingredients, sugar, is readily available due to sugarcane.

160
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: One of the cookbooks that's often considered the first US

161
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:35,359
Speaker 1: cookbook or first truly American cookbook is The Virginia Housewife.

162
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: And this book contains a recipe for what it calls

163
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: ice lemonade. The reason I'm caveating this, by the way, folks,

164
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: is that when I say a recipe for what it

165
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: calls ice lemonade, this lemonade had eggs in it. Like casey,

166
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think you did that at your stand,

167
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: did you? Absolutely not. No, we would never do such

168
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: a thing like fi cents for a glass? Uh five

169
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,079
Speaker 1: cents extra for some egg right now? Well? Wait wait wait?

170
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: Was it like egg whites? Kind of like a flip

171
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 1: like one of those fancy prohibition eric cocktails with like

172
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 1: the egg the frosty egg white, because that could be

173
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,439
Speaker 1: good like an egg cream? Yeah, well, like actually egg cream,

174
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: ben the old ones, the old ones. Did I know

175
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 1: what you're gonna say the old ones did have egg

176
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: Was that true? I didn't know that, Like I thought that.

177
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: My my understanding is that the original egg cream was

178
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: the old old one and it had neither egg nor cream.

179
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: Interesting fact here, according to Miriam Webster, the term egg

180
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: cream could be based on ruption of the Yiddish word,

181
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,079
Speaker 1: but the name has been used since the early eighteen

182
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: hundreds for multiple drinks that contain eggs and or cream. Okay,

183
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: I got it. Well, I'm fascinated by the idea of

184
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 1: just putting eggs in a lemonade drink. I mean, if

185
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: you frossed it up and like did a you know,

186
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 1: put it in a shaker or something, that could be cool.

187
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: But I don't know, like he's crack an egg in

188
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: it like you would like if you were trying to,

189
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: you know, do a weird flex as like a bodybuilder,

190
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: where you just like eat raw eggs. Is that kind

191
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: of the idea, I don't know. Probably it probably results

192
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: in more of a custard something that we would think

193
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: of more as like kind of a lemon custer versus

194
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: a lemonade. But we know that people have all sorts

195
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 1: of variations on on the idea of lemonade. We know.

196
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 1: One of the reasons it became popular it was not

197
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 1: just the availability of sugarcane, but it was teetotalers when

198
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: people weren't drinking booze, were very against other people drinking booze.

199
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 1: Lemonade became sort of touted as a healthy alternative to

200
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: the moral dangers posed by alcohol. And Lucy web Haze,

201
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: the first lady during the Hayes administration was nicknamed Lemonade

202
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: Lucy because she would ban booze at the White House,

203
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,559
Speaker 1: but people could drink lemonade. I also, you know, I

204
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: was thinking about this. Sometimes people give the temperance movement

205
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 1: in the earlier days of the U S a hard time,

206
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: but over the years doing this show looking at history

207
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 1: in the early US, those people were drunk a lot,

208
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,559
Speaker 1: like a lot a lot, Yeah, for sure. I mean,

209
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 1: you know, we always talk about like the meads and

210
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,079
Speaker 1: stuff and the vikings and all that, and the reason

211
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: they were drunk so much just because regular old still

212
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: water would like, you know, turn or they would this

213
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 1: this is like having fermented beverages was assurance that it

214
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 1: wasn't gonna like go bad, because that was sort of

215
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 1: like you know, part of the draw was that it

216
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: had basically gone bad. Um. But yeah, so you know,

217
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: lemonade really did start to catch on in the US,

218
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 1: and that kind of brings us to today's story of

219
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 1: the creation, Uh, the mythos, the creation myth I guess

220
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: behind pink lemonade. So we've got we've got maybe we

221
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 1: can laundry list a few theories that we're pretty sure

222
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: are incorrect, right or maybe not the mean story. So casey,

223
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 1: I don't know what kind of game show laundry listing

224
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: theories music there is, but that's your prompt, perfect, Okay. One? Uh,

225
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 1: influence from pre existing people on the continent, from Native

226
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 1: American tribes. Uh. There's one theory that lemonade, pink lemonade specifically,

227
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: is inspired by an ancient drink made with the berries

228
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: of a specific type of sumac. They're bright red, they

229
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 1: have a bright, lemony, citral flavor in This drink is

230
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 1: known as kuala, and it has some similarities to pink lemonade. Uh,

231
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:42,839
Speaker 1: And it has that kind of tart flavor and it's

232
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: still used for ceremonial purposes. But it's different, you know

233
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 1: what I mean. It doesn't taste like lemonade. Does it

234
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: gets you super high? I don't know. I don't know

235
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: the ceremony there. Okay, well, well what to looking at

236
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: that a little further, I'm fascinating. I never heard of

237
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,559
Speaker 1: the idea of drinking sumac. When I think of sumac,

238
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: I always think of poison sumac, which is I guess,

239
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: like a cousin of poison oak and poison ivy um.

240
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 1: But this would be the red berries of the of

241
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: of the sumac plant, which which presumably not poison unless

242
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: that's part of the ritual. Too unclear. But this is

243
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 1: what we know. I used to tomac cooking Persian food.

244
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: It's it's pretty dope. Okay, good, I'll have to add that.

245
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: I have to add that to my repertoire. But you know,

246
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: there's a lot of ways to get things pink in color, right, Um,

247
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: you could. And that's the thing what I was getting

248
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: at earlier too about pink lemonade was is it just

249
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 1: an aesthetic thing? Why call it pink lemonade if it's

250
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: about the flavor? You know? Um, to me, that denotes

251
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: a certain attention paid to like the act the idea

252
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 1: that it's sort of a gimmick. But Like we said,

253
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: there's lots of ways to make a drink pink. You

254
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: could add other fruits that would exact would absolutely change

255
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: the flavor, like cherries or watermelon. Um, you talked about

256
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: sumac hybiscus. That's a good one. But again, these are

257
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 1: all to me I would call of I would I

258
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: would call out the fruit here rather than calling it

259
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: pink lemonade, I would say raspberry lemonade, cherry lemonade, cherry limeade,

260
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: strawberry lemonad. These are all things, um, But that is

261
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 1: the issue there. These all absolutely introduced new flavors, so

262
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: they're not really considered to be the genesis of the

263
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: straight up gimmick that is pink lemonade. There are pink

264
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: lemons actually, but they were like I believe, sort of

265
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: like a cross breed of another particular type of lemon,

266
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: the yellow Eureka lemon tree. And you didn't really see

267
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: those come around until the thirties. So uh. And also

268
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: like you're sure it's called a pink lemon, but it

269
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: doesn't squeeze bright pink juice, so that's not that's not

270
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: gonna do it either. Then we have, uh, the theory

271
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: um that takes sort of capitalism into into consideration here

272
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 1: with the idea of like the dye industry, the edible

273
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 1: or drinkable dye industry, which has its own kind of

274
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 1: pitfalls throughout history, like yellow number five making you like

275
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 1: infertile or something right. And then there's the fourth theory

276
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 1: that pink lemonade may have something in common with a

277
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: cocktail popular in the eighteen fifties eighteen seventies, around the

278
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 1: time pink lemonade sends into the national consciousness. Most historian

279
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: state the appearance of pink lemonade in that two decade

280
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: period around the same time, British sailors were drinking something

281
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: they called pink gin. It was made of angustora bidders

282
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 1: uh and those This was often a curative thing. People

283
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: would drink it to stave off seasickness and the dark

284
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: red bidders. It wasn't a classy cocktail necessarily, just to

285
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: be honest with you all, they took jen and they

286
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: put these bidders in it, and the dark the bidders

287
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: are dark red, so they turned the gin to a

288
00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: different color. And then if you're super fancy and always

289
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: still kind of fighting scurvy, then you throw a little

290
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 1: lemon peel on there, and then that stuff is practically

291
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: the same color as pink lemonade. And you see other

292
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:17,199
Speaker 1: like spiked lemonade ideas very similar to this showing up

293
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: in bartending guides around nineteen hundred and again the bidders,

294
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: I guess you could say it balances the tang of lemonade.

295
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: And and people will say sometimes they perceive pink lemonade

296
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 1: to be more sweet and less sour or less heart

297
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 1: than than the normal lemonade variety. But still none of

298
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 1: those four theories we just named are widely accepted. Each

299
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,360
Speaker 1: of them has something that doesn't quite fit the bill. Here.

300
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 1: If we want to go to the most likely theory

301
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: for the origin of pink lemonade, we have to go

302
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 1: to the circus. Yes, indeed, circuses and snacks presumably bread

303
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 1: that would have been the original circus snack, right, because

304
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: those are the two things you had to give the

305
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,120
Speaker 1: people to keep them from rising up in the streets. Um.

306
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 1: But now these were you know, those circuses were more

307
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 1: involving human slaughter. Uh, these were a little kinder and gentler,

308
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:18,120
Speaker 1: with like clowns and you know, uh, midways and and games.

309
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 1: We throw that are rigged where you throw you know, darts,

310
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 1: a balloons or like ping pong balls into goldfish bowls.

311
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 1: They haven't really changed the whole hell of a lot

312
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 1: since then. It's the old traveling carnival when it comes

313
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: to town. A lot of those things still very much

314
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 1: in play. But yeah, but those things often blur together,

315
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,920
Speaker 1: the circus versus the carnival, and they have a lot

316
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 1: of the same little things. They have a lot of

317
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: the same games, They have a lot of the same snacks,

318
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: and they have a lot of the same popular beverages.

319
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 1: And with the ice trade becoming a thing in the

320
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 1: nineteenth century, ice drinks were all the rage. So you

321
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,719
Speaker 1: wouldn't really have a lemonade what we think of today

322
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: as a delicious tart cold um glass of lemonade if

323
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: it didn't have been for the innovation um in the

324
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: ice trade. And so lemonade really began to take off.

325
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 1: Because who doesn't love an ice cold glass of lemonade.

326
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 1: I mean, it's one of my favorite things in the world.

327
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: I really am a big fan of mixing lemonade half

328
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: and half with us iced tea. Uh don't like iced

329
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 1: tea on its own one bit but add a little

330
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: half and half lemonade make it what they call an

331
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 1: Arnold palmer in in this part of the country anyway. Um,

332
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: and I'm I'm sold. But you started to see people

333
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 1: coming from miles away to see these circuses with you know,

334
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 1: things like everything from a trapeze situation, uh, death defying stunts. Um.

335
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 1: Of course, the very uh problematic freak shows were a thing.

336
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: We've talked about this on a recent episode, with contortionists

337
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 1: and fire breathers and bearded ladies and the like. Um.

338
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,199
Speaker 1: And you know, all this was hard work taking in

339
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 1: all this excitement, not to mention seeing like elephants and

340
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 1: animal you know, tricks being done. Um, you'd work up

341
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: quite a thirst. So lemonade was their go to and

342
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 1: it actually dates specifically back to a very one specific

343
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:11,400
Speaker 1: circus in eighteen seventy nine mentioned in the West Virginia

344
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: Wheeling Register that gives us one of the possible true

345
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: backstories of pink lemonade. I would pause at this moment

346
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 1: to say, this is uh, this is a nicer version.

347
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 1: The second version is my favorite, the real clown drink version.

348
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 1: You'll you'll see what I mean in a second. So

349
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 1: these are both kind of legends. There's a guy named

350
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 1: Henry E a Lot or Alett a L l O

351
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 1: t T. He is a circus promoter, which means that

352
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 1: he gets crowds to come to the circus and he

353
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 1: probably rips off his performers, because that was the world

354
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,880
Speaker 1: of circuses at the time. Later, he reinvents himself as

355
00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 1: a gambler named Bunk Allen, which is a cool name.

356
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 1: That's a very cool name, and so he becomes pretty

357
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:10,159
Speaker 1: well known in the zeitgeist. He died in Chicago in

358
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,679
Speaker 1: NT twelve, and he had obituaries not just in the

359
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 1: Washington Post, but in the New York Times as well,

360
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: and according to a trade handbook for the restaurant industry

361
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,919
Speaker 1: published in nineteen thirteen, a year after his death, Alt

362
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,920
Speaker 1: was fourteen years old working at a circus in eighteen

363
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 1: seventy two when he accidentally invented pink lemonade. He was

364
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 1: in charge of candy and lemonade concessions. He was kind

365
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 1: of the young Casey Pegram of the circus and somehow,

366
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: we're not sure how, he dropped an entire container of

367
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: red cinnamon candies into a vat of freshly made lemonade,

368
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: staining it pink, a similar color to clown pants. I'm

369
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 1: just throwing foreshadowing left and right here because it's my

370
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:03,159
Speaker 1: favorite are part of the story. But the Smithsonian magazine

371
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: tells us he knew that this kid when he was

372
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,479
Speaker 1: just fourteen. He knew the show had to continue. So

373
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 1: he said, all right, whatever, I'm gonna sell this pink lemonade.

374
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 1: And it actually sold better than the original yellowish lemonade

375
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: people were so used to. But I have a question

376
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:22,680
Speaker 1: for you guys here. Wouldn't dumping that container of candy

377
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: into the lemonade make it taste like cinnamon? I was

378
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 1: thinking the same thing. That's not what you want. That's

379
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 1: not refreshing. I mean, cinnamon's got it's placed in the

380
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:37,120
Speaker 1: flavor of profile universe and warm drinks. That's where cinnamon blogs.

381
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,400
Speaker 1: I'm sorry to sound kind of absolutist about this. Right

382
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,640
Speaker 1: in with a cold cinnamon drink, if you've got one,

383
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,199
Speaker 1: I'll try it out. I'd be enjoy Well, you know

384
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 1: there's fireball liquor liqueur shots, which is you know it's

385
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: not for everybody, but that it is served cold. But

386
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:54,919
Speaker 1: I've always found that a little off putting because it

387
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 1: really just it's like gives you like a like big

388
00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 1: red gum in alcoholic shot form. But you're right, Ben,

389
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: I certainly, at the very least think people would have

390
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 1: noticed if they were used to there, I would have complained,

391
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: wouldn't you. I don't know, man, because so much of

392
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 1: this is framing. If Bunk is or the man will

393
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 1: grow to be Bunk, if Bunk is clever enough and

394
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,919
Speaker 1: keeps his straight face, then people might assume it's on

395
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: purpose and it's a novelty like remember the first time

396
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,919
Speaker 1: you saw dipping dots, or remember the first time you

397
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: saw all those other gimmicky candies like cotton candy. Cotton

398
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: candy is it's weird, right, But people are buying it

399
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 1: partially for the novelty as children. So I think if

400
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 1: he did it with a straight face, uh, this could work.

401
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 1: But there's a problem because at the time of this discovery,

402
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:45,360
Speaker 1: if this is what happened, red candies had a coloring

403
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 1: agent that could be highly toxic. They could have red

404
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 1: lead or red vermilion. And then there's the other problem

405
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: with the story, which we talked about. It's this It's

406
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 1: the same thing the authors bring up in a fantastic

407
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 1: epicurious article. No one has really tried cinnamon flavored lemonade,

408
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 1: and if that's how it tasted, and if that really happened,

409
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: then someone would have replicated it. Right, So this tale

410
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:15,159
Speaker 1: is probably probably not all the way through. It's a

411
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 1: good campfire story, or it's a good lemonade stands story.

412
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:23,400
Speaker 1: But for years before, lemonade would already been sold as

413
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 1: the different fruit based varieties we named watermelon lemonade, raspberry, rhubarb, strawberry,

414
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: so on, all of which would give it a nice

415
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 1: pinkish hue. But there's another legend. I think we should

416
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:39,479
Speaker 1: call that. I you know, I think we should call

417
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: this one the clown drink. I like that. Or we

418
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 1: could also do it where it's like submitted for the

419
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 1: approval of the Midnight Society. I call this the tale

420
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 1: of the circus mishap involving a pair of red tights.

421
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: And now we have to pause. Big lemonade got to us.

422
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,679
Speaker 1: I just got the I just got the email. Uh

423
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: we are We're gonna have to go back and reevaluate

424
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 1: some things before we continue revealing the truth about pink lemonade. Um,

425
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,679
Speaker 1: I guess before we end this one, nol Casey, is

426
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 1: it okay to play just the clip of that crazy

427
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 1: lemonade commercial? Oh god, please, it's more than okay. I

428
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 1: think it's it's required. You have to hear this. I

429
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 1: think so too, She quid. We're trying to. It's not

430
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 1: always there, it is. I was looking for a way

431
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 1: to insert this in the show. We're just gonna put

432
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: it at the end of part one because this is

433
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 1: part one of the surprisingly disturbing origin story of pink Lemonade.

434
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,400
Speaker 1: We'll be back this week with Part two. In the meantime.

435
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 1: Huge thanks to super producer Casey peg Graham for putting

436
00:25:58,040 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: up with us, and and and dealing with all the

437
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:04,479
Speaker 1: these retroactive two partners. We love you, man, You're the best. Um,

438
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 1: don't ever change and will which we will try to change.

439
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,160
Speaker 1: I've I've pledged to do better. Um. But huge thanks

440

445
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 1: lot of nicknames over time, and I hate to say

446
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 1: that I've I've probably accidentally been the source of several

447
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 1: of those. But assuming the big lemonade, lets us continue

448
