Speaker 1: Heyby, what are you up to? Oh? Hey Elliott? In
Speaker 1: honor of today's Hashtag History Supercut episode, I'm trying to
Speaker 1: create the perfect hashtag that explains what makes the game
Speaker 1: so fun and yet it's totally memorable. I like it.
Speaker 1: What do you have so far? Well, not to brag,
Speaker 1: but I think I nailed it on the first truck.
Speaker 1: Here goes hashtag words from the greats if they had
Speaker 1: social media back in the time they were alive and
Speaker 1: maybe started using social media to talk about stuff that
Speaker 1: was on their mind, and you know they would get
Speaker 1: tho little blue check marks. What does it gull have
Speaker 1: to do to get one of those? Around here anyway?
Speaker 1: I mean, isn't being the announcer on the World's best
Speaker 1: podcast enough for you people? M G seriously wrote me back,
Speaker 1: love always be. What do you think amazing? I have
Speaker 1: just one note? I think it could be longer I
Speaker 1: knew it. And while you work on that, let's start
Speaker 1: the show. Eric play the theme song. What do you
Speaker 1: think you know about rates for this story? Before the
Speaker 1: game is on? To get some energy and buckle up
Speaker 1: your brain because it's time to play It's the worst podcast,
Speaker 1: Because it's time to play. Bags who live from Tongue
Speaker 1: to Land or so Falled so called Los Angeles. It's
Speaker 1: Who Was the History Quish show that for today, we're
Speaker 1: listening to a super cut of all the hashtag history
Speaker 1: games from our shows so far. I'm your announcer, Beat
Speaker 1: and trust me, I never have a plan A. And
Speaker 1: now here's your host. The man whose topebags have topebags,
Speaker 1: it's Elliot Galen, Thank you be. They give them to
Speaker 1: you at the store and I can't bear to throw
Speaker 1: them out because Topebag is just so sad. I gotta
Speaker 1: give him a home. And yes, for today, we're revisiting
Speaker 1: one of our favorite games from the Who Was Podcast.
Speaker 1: It's hashtag history, hashtag history, hashtag history, hashtag history, hashtag history.
Speaker 1: In this game, we read our contestants a hashtag they're
Speaker 1: famous person would have used during their lifetime if there
Speaker 1: was social media during that famous person's lifetime, and the
Speaker 1: contestant will tell us what they were hash on about. Now,
Speaker 1: let's get right into it with our episode about Amelia
Speaker 1: Earhart and our contestants Amelia and Max take it away.
Speaker 1: Be okay, Max, this first question is for you. Our
Speaker 1: first hashtag is hashtag friendship goals. I think that is
Speaker 1: when she was talked to Netta. I think that's what
Speaker 1: her name was her friend when she first learned about flying.
Speaker 1: It's a very good guest, but unfortunately it's not what
Speaker 1: we're looking forward this one. The friendship was actually the
Speaker 1: airplane Amelia took on that first flight across the Atlantic.
Speaker 1: Making it to the other side was definitely hashtag friendship goals,
Speaker 1: but nice try. Next question is for Amelia. Our next
Speaker 1: hashtag is hashtag now ninety nine problems. Okay, so was
Speaker 1: the name of the group that Amelia had formed, and
Speaker 1: the name was flopping from like eighty three to seven
Speaker 1: and they finally settled on ninety nine. That's right. The
Speaker 1: ninety nine was the group of over two hundred female
Speaker 1: pilots that Amelia Heart became the president of. It's this
Speaker 1: organization helped female pilots find employment and community with other
Speaker 1: female pilots. That was great. Next question is for Max.
Speaker 1: This hashtag is hashtag all the single Ladies. I think
Speaker 1: that's when she turned down so many marriages from many
Speaker 1: different guys. That's right. Amelia turned down several marriage proposals
Speaker 1: to focus on her career, which was not the thing
Speaker 1: that women were expected to do at the time. She
Speaker 1: later married her manager, George Putnam, but they both agreed
Speaker 1: that Amelia would put her career first. Take that, George,
Speaker 1: great answer. Max, next question is for Amilia Amelia. This
Speaker 1: hashtag is hashtag Snooky. Um. I think it was like
Speaker 1: the name of her play or something. Oh sorry, That
Speaker 1: hashtag refers to Amelia's first flying teacher, Netta Snook, another
Speaker 1: pioneering female aviator. It's who Max was talking about earlier.
Speaker 1: By strange coincidence hashtag hashtag. Wow, that was great and
Speaker 1: less confusing than I thought it would be with two
Speaker 1: people named Amelia in the same room. Indeed, me too.
Speaker 1: How's that revision on the hashtag going to be? I'm
Speaker 1: still working on it. How about we listened to another
Speaker 1: episode in the meantime. This is, after all a super cut.
Speaker 1: Let's listen back to our episode on one of my
Speaker 1: favorite authors, Jane Austen, with two of my favorite contestants,
Speaker 1: Charlie and Kaylee Charlie Europe. First, Okay, all the money
Speaker 1: in the world couldn't buy my love. Hashtag all the
Speaker 1: single ladies was Jane referring to the fact that she
Speaker 1: a made each of her protagonists perform a solo dance
Speaker 1: at the climax of her story. Or B that she
Speaker 1: never gotten married or see that she only ever drank
Speaker 1: single servings of teeth. Be she never got married. That's right.
Speaker 1: The answer is B. Jane Austen was proposed to but
Speaker 1: chose to remain single because she believed in marrying for
Speaker 1: love and not for money, and certainly not for likes
Speaker 1: on Instagram. But that's largely because social media hadn't been
Speaker 1: invented yet. If they had at the time, who knows,
Speaker 1: maybe should have got married for likes on Instagram. Okay,
Speaker 1: the next question is for Kylie. I guess learning isn't
Speaker 1: the only thing that's contagious here hashtag going viral. Was
Speaker 1: Jane talking about a coming down with typhoid fever when
Speaker 1: she was in school? Be being very good at science?
Speaker 1: Or see One of her most beloved characters is named
Speaker 1: Lady Violet Rawl, whose nickname is viral. Uh. I think
Speaker 1: that's right. The answer is A. Jane and her sister
Speaker 1: of Cassandra, caught typhoid fever and had to leave the
Speaker 1: school they were attending. Jane didn't like the schools. This
Speaker 1: might not have been the worst thing. But disclaimer for
Speaker 1: everyone listening at home, we do not recommend catching typhoid
Speaker 1: as a way to get out of school. There are
Speaker 1: easier ways to get out of school, like do really
Speaker 1: good at it and then you graduate. You don't have
Speaker 1: to go school anymore. Back to you, Charlie for the
Speaker 1: next question. My latest book, Northanger Abbey, may look a
Speaker 1: little familiar. Hashtag throwback Thursday, skeptical emoji winky face emoji
Speaker 1: was Jane talking about a the novel being historical science
Speaker 1: fiction that took place centuries before it was written. Be
Speaker 1: the book is all about Jane's childhood or see. While
Speaker 1: it was the first book she sold, it was one
Speaker 1: of the last to be published. Um is the answer, C?
Speaker 1: That's right. The answer is C. The man who bought
Speaker 1: her first book refused to publish it, and it wasn't
Speaker 1: until she made enough money from her other novels that
Speaker 1: she could afford to buy it back. And the final
Speaker 1: question is for you, Kylie. On my nineteenth birthday, Daddy
Speaker 1: brought me something to help me hashtag rise and grind
Speaker 1: hashtag blessed. Did Jane receive a paper and ink b
Speaker 1: a small desk see both of those things or d neither.
Speaker 1: He thought she was a terrible writer and should go
Speaker 1: and become a nun. He she received paper and ink.
Speaker 1: I think we can give you half credit for that.
Speaker 1: The answer is, see both of those things. Jane's father
Speaker 1: thought she was talented enough to be able to make
Speaker 1: a living as a writer, a profession very few women
Speaker 1: were able to perform at that time. But whether you're
Speaker 1: a writer or a nun successfully comes down to maintaining
Speaker 1: good habits. Get it, have habits, get it. Charlie does not.
Speaker 1: It's okay if you don't. It's okay if you don't.
Speaker 1: And that's the end of hashtag history. Hashtag delightful. That
Speaker 1: really gives you a sense and sensibility of Jane Austen's life. Oh,
Speaker 1: Jane Austen, panz okay too, you can play that game
Speaker 1: while we take this short break. Why don't we have peanut,
Speaker 1: butter and jelly while we play high and go see B?
Speaker 1: Just because something has an end and it doesn't make
Speaker 1: it a Jane Austen book title. I can't here you.
Speaker 1: I'm hiding. Well, I pretend I can't see that B
Speaker 1: is right behind the microphone. Let's take a break, Eric,
Speaker 1: please play us some social media music. Please Welcome back
Speaker 1: to the Who Was? Podcast? Today is a special hashtag
Speaker 1: history super cut episode and I'm still working on the
Speaker 1: perfect hashtag to go along with it. And now back
Speaker 1: to your host, Elliot Kalin. Thank you. B I must
Speaker 1: say that as a long scroll of paper you've got there,
Speaker 1: are you using that to draft up the hashtag? I'm
Speaker 1: a visual learner. It's part of my process. Makes sense.
Speaker 1: Now back to our super cut with our episode all
Speaker 1: about Red Cross founder Clara Barton. Our contestants Ava Natalie
Speaker 1: did a great job despite all our attempts to apply fresher.
Speaker 1: That's a first age joke. Let's hear it now. So
Speaker 1: the first question is for Eva, I wanted to go viral,
Speaker 1: but this is ridiculous hashtag smallpox big problems? Is this
Speaker 1: hashtag about a A young Clara helping the children in
Speaker 1: her town through a smallpox outbreak. B Clara being told
Speaker 1: the Red Cross was a virus to democracy or see
Speaker 1: Clara's band compromised a petite women called Smallpox reaching number
Speaker 1: one with their hit Healing Time. The best answer to
Speaker 1: me would probably be a that's right. The answer is
Speaker 1: a young Clara, fresh off nursing for brother after a
Speaker 1: bad fall, helped take care of the children of her
Speaker 1: town during a smallpox outbreak. She was only about thirteen
Speaker 1: at the time, but already showing signs of courage and ingenuity,
Speaker 1: as she would display throughout her life. The next question
Speaker 1: is for Natalie attention at school House One. Your arithmetic
Speaker 1: is all long six hundred dollars divided by two fifty
Speaker 1: dollars equals I quit. Hashtag square root of unfair? Hashtag
Speaker 1: wage battle. Now was Clara talking about a her tuition
Speaker 1: fees for the college she went to being too high,
Speaker 1: be wage inequality at the schoolhouse she established, or see
Speaker 1: her father telling her battle stories from his military days.
Speaker 1: I think the answer is you got it right. The
Speaker 1: answer is being. Clara created Schoolhouse One, a free school
Speaker 1: in Boardentown, New Jersey. It was a huge success, but
Speaker 1: the board hired a male principle and paid him over
Speaker 1: twice what they offered Clara. She was so disheartened she quit,
Speaker 1: but the incident didn't deter her from helping others. Okay,
Speaker 1: the next question is for Ava take it away, b
Speaker 1: It's time to sway President Hayes my way let's not
Speaker 1: be neutral about helping people. Hashtag Swiss smiths hashtag say
Speaker 1: yeah to Geneva. Was she talking about A asking President
Speaker 1: Hayes to legalize chocolate in America. B trying to get
Speaker 1: the US to convert to the metric system, or see
Speaker 1: getting the US to join the first Geneva Convention. That's right.
Speaker 1: The answer is seeing. It took Clara over a decade
Speaker 1: and three presidents in office until the United States finally
Speaker 1: joins the Geneva Convention, a set of humanitarian rules that
Speaker 1: tells countries at war how to treat captured soldiers and
Speaker 1: enemy civilians, and pledged to establish the American Red Cross
Speaker 1: for disaster relief. Good answer. The next question is for Natalie,
Speaker 1: who can put a price on helping those in need?
Speaker 1: Money doesn't make a difference. Clara Barton makes a difference.
Speaker 1: Hashtag budget without Borders hashtag fallen angel. Was Clara talking
Speaker 1: about A her critics saying she mismanaged money at the
Speaker 1: Red Cross, B inflation during the Russian Famine of or
Speaker 1: see the expensive gifts and jewelry heads of state gave her.
Speaker 1: I think the best answer is probably a you're right.
Speaker 1: The answer is a Clara was criticized for running the
Speaker 1: Red Cross with an iron rule. It was accused of
Speaker 1: stealing funds. Many people encouraged her to give up her position,
Speaker 1: but she didn't resign until after a Senate investigation found
Speaker 1: her completely innocent. That wasn't the end of Clara's career,
Speaker 1: but unfortunately it is the end of this game. Hashtag
Speaker 1: hashtag Wow, that episode was great, A real work of art.
Speaker 1: Sounds like you're providing the perfect segue for our next
Speaker 1: episode about the artist Leonardo da Vinci. Our contestants, Mira
Speaker 1: and Baltazar go head to head to see who can
Speaker 1: artfully come away with the win. Let's hear it, go
Speaker 1: for it, be all right, Nera, This first question is
Speaker 1: for you. The first hashtag is hashtag brush with greatness
Speaker 1: with Leonardo us this hashtag because A, as a part
Speaker 1: of his first job, he had to make paint brushes
Speaker 1: for an artist or be Leonardo loved to brush his
Speaker 1: hair dately A. That's right. The answer is a. Leonardo
Speaker 1: was an artist's apprentice, which is basically a student who
Speaker 1: learns a trade and does the more basic chores that
Speaker 1: the artist he studies under doesn't want to do. So
Speaker 1: that they can focus on creating. There were no art
Speaker 1: supply stores back then, so apprentices learned how to make
Speaker 1: both paint brushes and paint and for the brushes they
Speaker 1: used animal hair, such as those from hogs and squirrels.
Speaker 1: So to get that hair, I guess Leonardo was also
Speaker 1: a squirrel barber. What a renaissance man. Leo's next hashtag
Speaker 1: is for you, Baldassar. The second hashtag is hashtag supper
Speaker 1: time with Leonardo us. This hashtag because a Leonardo had
Speaker 1: his own food network show called Diners, Drive Ins and
Speaker 1: Da Vinci's or be Leonardo created a famous painting called
Speaker 1: The Last Supper. B that's right. The answer is be.
Speaker 1: Leonardo painted one of his most famous paintings, one of
Speaker 1: the most famous paintings in history. The Last Supper is
Speaker 1: a huge mural of Jesus and his last dinner with
Speaker 1: his followers. Leonardo worked very hard on the painting, doing
Speaker 1: many sketches of it, and once he started painting, he
Speaker 1: paint from sunrise sunset without even stopping to eat or drink. Kids,
Speaker 1: don't do that at home. Feel free to stop painting
Speaker 1: to need to drink things you need to do it.
Speaker 1: Don't be Leonardo sometimes Nero Europe again. The next hashtag
Speaker 1: is hashtag sketchy with. Leonardo used his hashtag because a
Speaker 1: he always kept a notebook and was sketching in it.
Speaker 1: Or be one of his many inventions was Saturday Night Live,
Speaker 1: the sketch Show. That's right, The answer is a Neonardo
Speaker 1: kept many, many notebooks because he couldn't stop filling them
Speaker 1: up with ideas and drawings. He filled his notebooks for
Speaker 1: thirty years, to the point that there were about thirteen
Speaker 1: thousand pages. That's right, thirteen thousand pages. Today, only six
Speaker 1: thousand pages are known to exist, and they are considered priceless. Okay, Baltazar.
Speaker 1: This final hashtag is yours. The final hashta is hashtag
Speaker 1: bird brain with. Leonardo used this hashtag because A he
Speaker 1: studied birds and their ability to fly. Or be he
Speaker 1: had a parent who loved making fun of him. Oh,
Speaker 1: that's right. The answer is a. Leonardo was sure that
Speaker 1: one day people would fly, even designed a flying machine
Speaker 1: that was kind of like a helicopter. He would buy
Speaker 1: birds and cages and set them free in an attempt
Speaker 1: to understand how they flew and how they flapped their wings,
Speaker 1: how they landed, safely. Now, of course we know that
Speaker 1: he was right. People would fly, but the airplane wouldn't
Speaker 1: be invented until nineteen oh three, hundreds of years later.
Speaker 1: But the Wright brothers, who are also you know who
Speaker 1: was podcast episode? Maybe go check out that episode after
Speaker 1: this one. Leonardo was a visionary and visionaries aren't always
Speaker 1: appreciated in their time, don't I know it? And that's
Speaker 1: hashtag history, hashtag hashtagla, that's Italian I and that was
Speaker 1: our last episode. Bet are you ready with that hashtag? Oh?
Speaker 1: Most definitely here goes hashtag words from the great today
Speaker 1: social media back in the time they were alive and
Speaker 1: maybe started using social media talk about stuff that was
Speaker 1: on their mind, and you know they would get those
