Speaker 1: Hi, Elliott, I by, do you want to tell them

Speaker 1: I have an idea. How about we flipped for it?
Speaker 1: Sounds good? I call heads, okay, and we'll have Geraldine
Speaker 1: toss the coin a hot shirt on the count of three, one,
Speaker 1: two three. Whoa, Elliott, you just did a flip? So
Speaker 1: did you? Yeah? But I'm delightfully whack and listeners have
Speaker 1: come to expect the sort of thing for me. Who
Speaker 1: knew you could flip? I was a child diver beats
Speaker 1: some things who can't unlearned? Oh tails, I guess you win.
Speaker 1: I'm still too shocked. You go ahead, go ahead and
Speaker 1: tell the children, all right? Who was her? In place
Speaker 1: of our regular episode where we quiz kids about their
Speaker 1: knowledge of two specific people from history, we fired up
Speaker 1: that walkie talkie to the past, the who was that?
Speaker 1: That's the one to get in touch with some of
Speaker 1: our best guest stars from this season. These big names
Speaker 1: are such huge fans of the podcast that they had
Speaker 1: their people call our people, who, to be clear, is
Speaker 1: an elephant to jump back on the show to spend
Speaker 1: some more time with us. All right, Eric, please plastic,
Speaker 1: here we go. What do you think you know about
Speaker 1: the grates from this study? The game is on. To
Speaker 1: get some energy and buckle up your brain, because it's
Speaker 1: time to play the bost podcast. Because it's time to
Speaker 1: play book Who Life? From Tonkland or So Falled, So
Speaker 1: Cat Los Angeles. It's Who Was the Podcast Where for
Speaker 1: today we're giving the quizzing arrest and just kind of,
Speaker 1: you know, vibe with some very cool folks from history.
Speaker 1: I'm your announcer, Fee and I make a feline for
Speaker 1: free sandwiches. Now here's your host, the man who's a
Speaker 1: tea and a coffee guy. Yes, Eliot Jalen, Thank you
Speaker 1: be that's right. It takes a lot of caffeine just
Speaker 1: to get me to this level. Welcome everyone to the
Speaker 1: Who Was Podcast Where. Today We've got something special for you.
Speaker 1: Some of our most beloved guests from this season got
Speaker 1: together to collaborate on a new show, The Real Queen
Speaker 1: Wives of Who Was. Let's hear it now, what happens
Speaker 1: when three regal reality stars are brought together under one
Speaker 1: royal roof. We'll find out on today's episode of the
Speaker 1: Real Queen Wives of Who Was the only show where
Speaker 1: lady leaders can live in the lap of luxury if
Speaker 1: they can learn to get along. Now, let's meet the
Speaker 1: sassy sovereign senoras of the real queen wives of who was.
Speaker 1: I'm Good Queen Elizabeth First, also known as Good Queen Best,
Speaker 1: and you best stay out of my why if you
Speaker 1: know what's good for you, I'm Marie Antoinette. Let them
Speaker 1: eat Gake. No, no, let me eat Gake. Because what
Speaker 1: the Queen of France wants, the Queen of France gets.
Speaker 1: I am Eleanor Roosevelt. I was once twice four times
Speaker 1: a first lady. Wow, long live those queens last. Your
Speaker 1: queen wives are who wise, Marie, you're not doing your
Speaker 1: share of the chores. What makes you say is that, Eleanor?
Speaker 1: Because you're not doing any of the chores? Sylla. That's
Speaker 1: French for what Eleanor is always going on about. We
Speaker 1: all have to do about, and we're all in these twogether.
Speaker 1: She says, Americans working out and sacrificing for each other
Speaker 1: is what got them. Sues a great depression. Where her
Speaker 1: lectures are giving me a great depression. Listen, I know
Speaker 1: Marie is just a young woman who never asked me,
Speaker 1: never an entire nation. But sometimes she makes me so mad.
Speaker 1: I just put THEO in a guiche and putka head off.
Speaker 1: Trust me, I've had people's heads cut off. It cheers
Speaker 1: you up for a few moments. With the clean up
Speaker 1: takes forever. Whoa, whoa. That was last week. This week,
Speaker 1: Kuei one and Marie are about to get into a
Speaker 1: little dust up over who gets to use the last
Speaker 1: of the pale white face powder. Let's listen in actually, miscenarrator,
Speaker 1: there will be no face powder dust up. The three
Speaker 1: of us have been talking and we have some big
Speaker 1: problems with this show. Yes, but one thing. The title
Speaker 1: is incredibly inaccurate. I was never a queen. I was
Speaker 1: a democratically elected first lady, a devoted champion for equality
Speaker 1: and human rights. Okay, so you weren't a queen, but
Speaker 1: you were a wife to President Roosevelt. Yeah, but while
Speaker 1: I was queen, I was never a wife. I kept
Speaker 1: myself unmarried. So it's not to lose my power to
Speaker 1: whatever frenchmen are. Spaniard promised me a ring, thinking they
Speaker 1: get a crown and return. Do you also have a
Speaker 1: problem with the title, Marie, No, I was both a
Speaker 1: queen and a wife. I think the title is fine, okay, great,
Speaker 1: glad to see at least one cast member doesn't have
Speaker 1: a problem. No, I have many problems with this show.
Speaker 1: I believe it was put together just to make us
Speaker 1: fight with each other. You're making us look selfish, vain,
Speaker 1: and foolish, just as people unfairly assumed I was when
Speaker 1: I was queen. People love dramas, so they get the
Speaker 1: wrong idea. What's the worst that could happen? I could
Speaker 1: get my egg got off, which is exactly what happen.
Speaker 1: Oh light, Yeah. As a former American delegate to the
Speaker 1: United Nations, I hereby submit emotion to change this show.
Speaker 1: I second that motion. I said this motion. The show
Speaker 1: must be channge. That's three to one, Mr narrator, by
Speaker 1: the rules of democracy, this show must be changed. Alright, alright,
Speaker 1: we'll change the show. Let's go back to the drawing
Speaker 1: board and bring you the new version right after this
Speaker 1: short break, Eric play us some reboot music, if you please.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Real Queen Wives of Who Was,
Speaker 1: which is no longer a reality show from now on,
Speaker 1: this show is a sitcom. Oh how lovely. I could
Speaker 1: use a good laugh after the whole getting my head
Speaker 1: cut off, seeing a Clayford too earlier. So it's time
Speaker 1: for another episode of everyone's new favorite show. Let's meet
Speaker 1: the mirth making matriarch Monarchs of the Queens of Queens,
Speaker 1: Elizabeth Marie. I am prone, eleanor don't you mean m
Speaker 1: l It wasn't my fault. I hit traffic after the
Speaker 1: Mets game at City Field because we live in Queens. Well, now,
Speaker 1: the dinner I picked up is cold. I got a
Speaker 1: souvlaki in gyro because we live in Queens. Hey, I
Speaker 1: just saw Spider Man swinging by outside because we live
Speaker 1: in Queens. Mark goodness, Marie, what happened to your voice?
Speaker 1: My voice? What are you talking about? Use guys, Marie?
Speaker 1: Come clean. Last time I checked French royals never said
Speaker 1: use guys. All right, you got be I just figured
Speaker 1: if I'd tuck like this, nobody will say I'm a
Speaker 1: snob and cut my nugget off. I even used to
Speaker 1: act an amateur place at the Palace at Verst Sales
Speaker 1: as a lover of theater. I think that's right, And really,
Speaker 1: aren't we all playing a role when we take on
Speaker 1: the responsibility of being a leader. I don't know about that,
Speaker 1: but listen, how good it sounds when I recite Elizabeth
Speaker 1: Buddy Bill Shakespeare's stuff, but so off with like Trianda
Speaker 1: window breaks, okay? Or what about this? So we were
Speaker 1: not to be forget about it, Marie, I love you,
Speaker 1: but never do that again, Elizabeth, what's a surprisingly sweet
Speaker 1: thing to say? Why? With no narrator to push us
Speaker 1: into gender stereotype reinforcing arguments, I believe we'll finally get
Speaker 1: along because your tool are the best royal roommates a
Speaker 1: first lady you could ever have. Well, if beats get
Speaker 1: knocked up in the tower landing by my art sister
Speaker 1: a friend, I got an idea, let's all eat cake.
Speaker 1: I second that motion. Wow, what an amazing show. I
Speaker 1: can't wait to stream all twenty seven seasons and fifteen
Speaker 1: casts of the Real Queen Wives of Who Was? While
Speaker 1: I figure out the password to one of Elliott's streaming services,
Speaker 1: why don't we take a quick break, But don't go anywhere,
Speaker 1: because we'll be back with mar Who Was? Podcast? Eric
Speaker 1: play us some prestige television music please live from tong
Speaker 1: Land or so called SOKW Los Angeles. It's Who Was?
Speaker 1: The podcast? Where? For today we're giving the quizzing arrests
Speaker 1: and just kind of you know, vibe with some very
Speaker 1: cool folks from history. I'm your announcer, Be, and I'd
Speaker 1: be remiss if I didn't introduce you to your host,
Speaker 1: the man who has stuck in socks. It's Elliot's kaln.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Be. If you'd always get cold, you'll never
Speaker 1: lose money making them warm and welcome everyone to the
Speaker 1: Who Was? Podcast. Let's waste no time leading our first
Speaker 1: and only guest for today's episode, America's greatest humorist, Mark Twain.
Speaker 1: B Elliot is honnor to be in your company. Just
Speaker 1: to refresh everyone's memory. Mark Twain is the author of
Speaker 1: many incredible books, including the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and
Speaker 1: the Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Yes, indeed that is me,
Speaker 1: but you can call me sam Well. Kind of a
Speaker 1: weird nickname for Marth, but who am I to judge?
Speaker 1: That's right. My true name is Samuel Clipman's. Mark Twain
Speaker 1: is but a simple pen name. You named your pen
Speaker 1: that's why, no, my dear. A pen name is a
Speaker 1: name a writer uses as something of an altar ego.
Speaker 1: Oh like Superman, but a writer wait, Superman is a writer.
Speaker 1: I need to sit down alright, Sam, Well, he takes
Speaker 1: a seat on the floor. We don't have any chairs.
Speaker 1: What brings you to our humble podcast? Why the podcast?
Speaker 1: It's so my good, Elliott. I've got a game of
Speaker 1: my own design, and I'm sure you'll want to add
Speaker 1: to your repertoire. Well, I'm already sold. Tell us Mark.
Speaker 1: It's called Mark Twain's Memory Builder. You know, I've actually
Speaker 1: heard of this game. It's a history game that you
Speaker 1: really invented in the late eighteen eighties. The game board,
Speaker 1: it looks like a test cheat sort of numbers with
Speaker 1: blank circles next to Ah. That is correct, sir, A
Speaker 1: man of discerning tastes. I like that. And here's the
Speaker 1: game in the flesh and a little dusty. So how
Speaker 1: do you play it? It's both simple and entertaining, a
Speaker 1: game for acquiring and retaining all sorts of facts and dates,
Speaker 1: just perfect to add to the who Worth podcast. The
Speaker 1: game board represents in a century. It also represents all centries. Now,
Speaker 1: when you pin your fact in its year column, you'll
Speaker 1: need to name the century. Pin your fact yes on
Speaker 1: your game board. Here's an example. You stick a pin
Speaker 1: in sixty four in the third row of holes in
Speaker 1: the compartment marked minor event, and say Shakespeare born fifteen
Speaker 1: sixty four, or Pin seventy six in the same minor
Speaker 1: event compartment and say Declaration of Independence seventeen seventy six.
Speaker 1: I don't know that we consider the birth of our
Speaker 1: greatest writers. Say again, I'm our greatest non American writer.
Speaker 1: I meant to say or the Declaration of Independence to
Speaker 1: be minor events. Well, in the game, mine events are
Speaker 1: both deaths, dates of inventions, essentially an effect that is
Speaker 1: datable and would remember. So you consider your own birth
Speaker 1: a minor event? Well, yes, seeing as how it would
Speaker 1: be some time before I was an adult. Oh, don't
Speaker 1: you use that folksy term on me, mr. I take
Speaker 1: it that much like our games the Memory Building Twains
Speaker 1: Memory Building, Yes, right, Mark Twain's Memory Builder. Sorry, I
Speaker 1: assume each category has points tied to them. They sure
Speaker 1: who you do? The sessions are worth ten points perpen,
Speaker 1: battles worth five, and minor events being mine at one point.
Speaker 1: Those are big leaks. Well take our show for example,
Speaker 1: It's different points, but first round questions are worth one point,
Speaker 1: second round two and third round three points one two three. Well,
Speaker 1: don't challenge me to a duel now, but that seems
Speaker 1: a bit on the nose, doesn't fam. I think we're
Speaker 1: gonna have to pass on your game. We can't afford
Speaker 1: all those pins, and also I just don't think it's
Speaker 1: quite right for the show. It also doesn't really make sense,
Speaker 1: but we appreciate you bring it to us though we
Speaker 1: really do well. Hold on, now, let's not put the
Speaker 1: pin in the rejection categories just yet. Maybe we could
Speaker 1: change it so that it's right for you. Why don't
Speaker 1: you let me play one of the games from your
Speaker 1: audio show. Let me hang my hat on the kind
Speaker 1: of thing you do play? All right, Sam Clemens also
Speaker 1: known as Mark Twain, We're going to play a game
Speaker 1: called Sound Effects Safari. A Safari affected by sound. The
Speaker 1: future is truly a charming and terrifying place. Sound effects
Speaker 1: to Fari sound Sexifari, sound of fear. In this game,
Speaker 1: we'll play a sound and be We'll give you a
Speaker 1: question based on that sound. Choose the best answer to
Speaker 1: tell us how it relates to, in this case, your life. Alright,
Speaker 1: I am prepared for your game of chance. It's it's
Speaker 1: not a chance, it's entirely based on knowledge. Retention. We
Speaker 1: shall see, we shall sleep all right, Sam. Here's your first. Sound.
Speaker 1: Sounds like the flow of a river. Why does a
Speaker 1: river relate to Mark Twain's life? Mark Twain A Mark
Speaker 1: Twain grew up in a rivertown or the Mark Twain
Speaker 1: loves to water ski? Oh my, this is an easy one.
Speaker 1: It's a I grew up in a rivertown Hannibal, Missouri,
Speaker 1: to be specific, living alone the Mississippi River. May my
Speaker 1: friends and I want to be steamboatmen, and at one
Speaker 1: point I was. I wrote about in my book Life
Speaker 1: on the Mississippi. Great work, Mr Twayne, Well, I admit
Speaker 1: it does hope when the questions all about one. So
Speaker 1: you're being modest. I couldn't answer a question about what
Speaker 1: I had for breakfast this morning. You told me you
Speaker 1: didn't have breakfast this morning. Oh yeah, I'm doing intermittent fasting.
Speaker 1: I'm angry all the time. It's great. Here's your next. Sound.
Speaker 1: Sounds like someone is building something. Why does building relate
Speaker 1: to Mark Twaine's life? Ay, he created a character that
Speaker 1: inspired Bob the Builder or b As he became successful,
Speaker 1: he built a large house for his family. Oh b
Speaker 1: the letter not the name. Correct? And thank you. I
Speaker 1: wish more people would be specific my wife living. I
Speaker 1: build a nineteen room house with a billiards, root turrets,
Speaker 1: and a porch designed like a riverboat deck. I like
Speaker 1: to keep things nice and them to stay. Are there
Speaker 1: more questions? I feel like I'm on a hot street.
Speaker 1: Here's the next sound. It's a frog. Frogs are so cool?
Speaker 1: But what do they have to do with Mark Twaine
Speaker 1: a he cursed a prince who will be a frog
Speaker 1: until he finds true love? Or be he wrote a
Speaker 1: short story called the Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County.
Speaker 1: Dan's be that stoils my first great success? Look me
Speaker 1: on the map as a rido. You're doing great, Sam,
Speaker 1: You're on the map as a contestant. Here's your last sound. Oh,
Speaker 1: sounds like a very enthusiastic applause. Is this applause for
Speaker 1: a Mark Twayne speaking engagements? Or be the Mark Twayne
Speaker 1: Prize for American Humor. I'm gonna go out on a
Speaker 1: limb and say this is one of those questions of trickery.
Speaker 1: The answer is both. It's true. It's both. You were
Speaker 1: a celebrated public speaker and today the top Prize for
Speaker 1: American Humor Writing is named after you. People like Richard Pryor,
Speaker 1: Tina Feye, John Stewarton would be Goldberg have won it.
Speaker 1: There's nothing more exciting and talking about oneself. And I
Speaker 1: believe I know what to do. Now. Well, what's that, Sam?
Speaker 1: I shall add sound effects to my Memory Builder to
Speaker 1: be more in line with your wonderful noisy games. Oh uh, well,
Speaker 1: this is really our noisiest game, and since we already
Speaker 1: have one, unfortunately, we're still gonna have to pass on
Speaker 1: Mark Twain's Memory Builder. I'm gonna have to shoot straight
Speaker 1: with you, folks. Yes, I a fiction writer. I am
Speaker 1: desperate enough to tell you the true I was hoping
Speaker 1: that adding Mark Twain's Memory Builder to your show would
Speaker 1: make more history of us want to purchase it, therefore
Speaker 1: sending me the prophet. I'm in a bit of a
Speaker 1: money pickle these days. Do you know how expensive your
Speaker 1: launder bill gets to be when you only wear all
Speaker 1: white suits? Even all my speaking engagements don't cover. We
Speaker 1: wish we could help you out, Sam, but hey, go
Speaker 1: back to the drawing board and let us know if
Speaker 1: you come up with another game. We'd love to hear
Speaker 1: any of your ideas well. I appreciate your honesty. Thanks
Speaker 1: for letting me play. Bye Sam, Bye. Wow. What a
Speaker 1: good guy, great writer. He's no Milton Bradley though, I
Speaker 1: tell you what, He's no Bradley Milton either. Who's Bradley
Speaker 1: Milton the front desk guy at my gym? He's great
Speaker 1: and has a nickname for everyone. Oh boy B And
