Come on, y'all, 7 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,559 Speaker 1: you know the deal. This is a motherfucking mini episode. 8 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:42,760 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna take the time to explain it to you. 9 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,920 Speaker 1: Goofy bitches. If this is the first time you're you're 10 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 1: tuning in, why would you start with a mini episode? Well, 11 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,200 Speaker 1: I guess because a mini episode, in theory, is shorter 12 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 1: and more palatable. You'd be able to decide as a 13 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 1: as a listener whether you want to commit further to 14 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 1: to my chicanery. Well fuck it. Then you made the 15 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 1: right choice, and I'm sorry I chamed you for what 16 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 1: you did, but still you dumb fuck This is a 17 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,960 Speaker 1: mini episode that means I'm I'm talking to the listeners, 18 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 1: I'm reading emails, I'm I'm exercising my right to vote, 19 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 1: to vote like I don't know what I'm voting for 20 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 1: I'm just talking at this point. I'm alone in my room, 21 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 1: and sometimes when I'm alone in my room, I stare 22 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 1: at my wall, not unlike ll cool J. But I 23 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,320 Speaker 1: don't have time for snaring on my wall today because 24 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,399 Speaker 1: today I got a very exciting email from a person. 25 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: And this is actually a pretty old email. This is 26 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: an email all the way from back in May. But 27 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 1: this email comes from a person named Man's. Man sent 28 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 1: me an email, and I don't I don't know what 29 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 1: kind of name man It says man It's doesn't maybe 30 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: it's It's it's got some uh, some history that I'm 31 00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: unaware of. I didn't really look up the name itself, 32 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: and Man's isn't a name that I would name my child, 33 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:11,079 Speaker 1: but certainly some people do. I guess I'm sorry, Man's, 34 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,119 Speaker 1: I shouldn't ship on you before we before we jump 35 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 1: into this. But it's an exciting email, Man said high links, 36 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 1: and I love the show. And as a fellow light 37 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: skin mixed kid, I don't know how to say it, 38 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: but I appreciate what you do. No need to get 39 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: into all the chips, into all the chips on my shoulder, 40 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 1: L O L. Anyway, I was talking about President Zachary 41 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,919 Speaker 1: Taylor with my mom as one does, and mentioned that 42 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 1: he died mysteriously after eating a ship ton of cherries 43 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 1: and drinking milk. She immediately told me that everyone knows 44 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 1: cherries and dairy mixed together are deadly, like you might 45 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,919 Speaker 1: as well be slamming back arsenic. It didn't really occur 46 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 1: to me until a couple hours later that, of course 47 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,639 Speaker 1: that isn't true, or cherry jubilee wouldn't be an ice 48 00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: cream flavor. But is this a circulating theory that goes 49 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: around or just some straight bullshit question mark? Thank you, man, 50 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:10,079 Speaker 1: says well Man's first and foremost, I have never heard 51 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 1: of this before in my life, that this is. I've 52 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 1: never heard of this ship at all. And as a 53 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 1: person who eats like absolute garbage, I truly I am 54 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 1: a trash compactor of of all things horrible. It's never 55 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 1: even occurred to me to try cherries and milk together 56 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: in in combo. That's not even a thing that I'm 57 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: I'm regularly going places and thinking I might ask. For sure, 58 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: I've had cherry Garcia ice cream, But the idea of 59 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: eating cherries and then downing a tall glass of milk 60 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 1: is truly, truly sociopathic. It is it's sociopathic behavior, and 61 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: anyone who takes part in it deserves to die. I 62 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: would say, a mysterious and awful death. Fuck you, Zachary Taylor. 63 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: If that's what you were doing as President of the 64 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: United States, do sick twisted bitch, I hate you, Zachary 65 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: Taylor if that's if that's who you are at your 66 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: core is the type of motherfucker that each cherries and 67 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: downs milk. Anyway, I'm I'm so hot about this. The 68 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 1: entire premise of this man's is it's got me fluster. 69 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,160 Speaker 1: But the point is, I took the time to research 70 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: a little bit about the conspiracy theory, and you're right, man, 71 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: it's that a large part of the history of of 72 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:35,039 Speaker 1: this supposed poisonous combination is rooted in the mysterious death 73 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: of our twelfth President, Zachary Taylor. Now, apparently old Zach 74 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,719 Speaker 1: was only sixteen months into office and he was riding 75 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 1: around doing July Force celebrations. You know how they did 76 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 1: back in the day, kissing babies, kicking niggers. You know, 77 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: it's eighteen fifty, so you can't assume that he's being 78 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: cool to black people. He's kissing a baby, he's kissing 79 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 1: he's kicking a nigger. He's he's having a he's having 80 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: a classic presidential time in eighteen fifty. And I have 81 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 1: to assume, in lieu of fireworks in eighteen fifty, you 82 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,720 Speaker 1: would just like, light of black man's pants on fire 83 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 1: and watch him running circles. You know you didn't do fireworks. 84 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: You just go, hey, put your hands over your hard skids. 85 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 1: We're gonna celebrate America by putting a flame to old 86 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: Jermaine in Germaine. He'd run until he had third degree burns, 87 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,600 Speaker 1: and oh the whites would laugh. We you know, America 88 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: used to be a country. It truly did, and we 89 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,480 Speaker 1: got to get back to it. It They had so 90 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: much going on anyway at these celebrations. Apparently Zachary Taylor 91 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: was seen as you said, man, it's eating a ship 92 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: ton of cherries and for some reason, drinking a lot 93 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 1: of ice cold milk, you know, like a man. And 94 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: it makes sense. He's a man whose claim to fame 95 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: was murdering, and it's in Mexican, so he probably he 96 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: would do something twisted like eat cherry and drink milk 97 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,600 Speaker 1: back at the White House. Now, Zachary Taylor drank some 98 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,840 Speaker 1: eighteen fifties water and began to feel very sick. He 99 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: spent four days suffering through extreme bouts of cramping and diarrhea, nausea, 100 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 1: and dehydration before he eventually died four days later on 101 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: July ninth. That's right now, Because of how publicly he 102 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 1: ate cherries and drank milk, this became the leading theory. 103 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,600 Speaker 1: You have to remember how insane it is that he 104 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 1: drank he ate that many cherries that everybody went home 105 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: and was like, Yo, no, lie, that president fucking loves 106 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 1: cherries and milk. They God damn does he go down 107 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: on some cherries and milk. Look, I know we were 108 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 1: celebrating the independence of our country, and we're only twelve 109 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 1: presidents and so so we're not even that independent yet. 110 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 1: We we it's not, it's still got a newness to it. 111 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,720 Speaker 1: But goddamn to mof I could love cherries and milk. 112 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 1: It I didn't even think about my freedom from the 113 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 1: British because I kept thinking about how many cherries he ate. 114 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: That's that's how many Zachary Taylor was apparently eating. Now, 115 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: because of how publicly he ate the cherry, strike the milk. 116 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 1: This became the leading theory. This is what everybody believes. Now, 117 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 1: this isn't completely off base, right I thought it would be. 118 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: I thought this would just be a stupid thing that 119 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 1: that you and your mother talked about. But apparently, man, 120 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 1: it's it's not as stupid as it sounds. Because apparently 121 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 1: mixing milk with high vitamin seve fruit products does have 122 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: the potential to cause coagulation and fermentation in the stomach, 123 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: which can lead to gastro into wright us and infection. 124 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 1: Not dissimilar to what Zachary Taylor experienced in in death. 125 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: The cramping, the diary of the nausea, the dehydration are 126 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: all results of gastro into wright us. However, gas gastro 127 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 1: into rightus, as we understand it, it is not typically 128 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: something that can kill you. It just makes you ship 129 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 1: weird for a few days, and then you bounce back. 130 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: So unless Zachary Taylor ate an inhumane combination of these 131 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 1: cherries and milk, this probably isn't his death ticket. Now, 132 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 1: I will say, as I mentioned before, he had to 133 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: have been eating a freakish amount of them, but it's 134 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: doubtful that he could even consume enough that it would 135 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: lead to a deadly combination. In fact, Taylor's own physicians 136 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 1: actually believed he died from cholera, which is often caused 137 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:39,959 Speaker 1: by drinking you guessed it, unclean water and or unclean milk, 138 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: something very common given the primitive source system of the time, 139 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 1: and given the fact that we probably didn't have great 140 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 1: ways of uh of filtering and and and sort of 141 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: checking the dates on on our food products, this does 142 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: speak to I think. You know, obviously, I don't think 143 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 1: Zachary Taylor actually died from this cherry milk combination. I think, 144 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 1: as you mentioned Man's there's plenty of evidence to show 145 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:10,319 Speaker 1: that that cherries and milk is not likely a a 146 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 1: murderous combo to find that said, I do think, and 147 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 1: this is where I got interested. This entire theory does 148 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 1: speak to the absurd instinct White America has of creating 149 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 1: legend for our president. Do you know what I mean? 150 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:32,199 Speaker 1: Instead of just admitting that Zachary Taylor was a human 151 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: being who was susceptible to drinking bad water like everyone 152 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 1: else of this time, we were led to believe it 153 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 1: was a poisonous concoction that took him down, this impossible 154 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 1: sort of like uh anti miracle that took him down. 155 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 1: It reminds me in many ways of George Washington and 156 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:55,679 Speaker 1: his cherry tree. Ironically, a completely fabricated story. It's not 157 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 1: real anybody who we we all grew up in in 158 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 1: history classes, our teachers would tell us that George Washington 159 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,439 Speaker 1: he got a hatchet for his sixth birthday and he 160 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 1: went outside and he chopped down his father's cherry tree. 161 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 1: And his dad came home and he said, what the fuck, George, 162 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 1: what did you do? And George was like, I cannot 163 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 1: tell a lie. Father, I chopped down that goddamn cherry tree. 164 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 1: And his dad was so proud of him, and he said, 165 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: you being honest with me is worth a thousand cherry trees. 166 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:29,439 Speaker 1: And that was the heroic story of George Washington discovering 167 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:33,439 Speaker 1: his sort of courageous, heroic bones, right that that he 168 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 1: was always this from the beginning, anyway, completely made up, 169 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: fabricated story that George Washington's first biographer made to offer 170 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: his supporters a glimpse into his young life. George Washington 171 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 1: didn't have anything interesting to tell us, right, The reality 172 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 1: is George Washington wasn't that noble or interesting. He was 173 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 1: just a normal boy with bad hair who decided to 174 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 1: fight in a war that eventually elevated him to a 175 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 1: position of power where he could steal the teeth out 176 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: of slave's mouth. But that doesn't make for good legends, 177 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:09,079 Speaker 1: So insert Cherry Tree. The same in this case is 178 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:13,199 Speaker 1: true for Zachary Taylor. It's not interesting to say that 179 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 1: the most mundane disease of a generation is the thing 180 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 1: that takes your president out, and so instead they create 181 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: legend where legend doesn't exist much in the way that 182 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:26,679 Speaker 1: I think if COVID would have been the thing that 183 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 1: killed Donald Trump, then they would have liked said that 184 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:34,200 Speaker 1: Donald Trump had the most extreme version of COVID, or that, uh, 185 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 1: you know, he he fought with the might of a 186 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,199 Speaker 1: thousand men to take back to fight against the this 187 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,599 Speaker 1: terrible virus. That it's all bullshit. These are all just 188 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 1: regular old dude who unfortunately don't die sooner. I think 189 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 1: that I think president should die sooner. I think that's 190 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 1: the big takeaway here is is more presidents should follow 191 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: in the footsteps of Zachary Taylor and bearly make it 192 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 1: into office before they kill themselves. From consuming things that 193 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,839 Speaker 1: they weren't supposed to eat or drink. Huh. I think 194 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 1: that's a good lesson, a good takeaway for this episode. 195 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,719 Speaker 1: So thanks Man's And if you like Man's, want to 196 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: send me your theories, your conspiracy theories of weird food 197 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 1: combinations that might kill you, I would love to hear 198 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 1: from you, and you can send them to my Mama 199 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 1: pod at gmail dot com.
