1
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:10,719
Speaker 1: You're so new to prof you don't leave Look at

2
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: this just you just left this in front of this

3
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:18,119
Speaker 1: was such an amateur live performance move. I didn't. I

4
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,079
Speaker 1: didn't do it right. So while I'm here, the first

5
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:22,960
Speaker 1: thing you do is move the fucking microphone stand. I don't.

6
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know how to do it. There's

7
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:26,599
Speaker 1: only two things I know how to do one of

8
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 1: there's only two things I know how to do. One

9
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: of them is read scripts about bad people, and the

10
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,160
Speaker 1: other is poorly introduced my show. Um so I would

11
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: like to say to my first live audience, what's what's

12
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 1: what's cracking my peppers? Yeah? That's good, Thank you good.

13
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: I'm learning slowly, we're getting used to the microphone. Still.

14
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: I think I might do excepting. I don't know if

15
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:08,400
Speaker 1: it's ideally like a wireless mike is not. It's just

16
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: the rule that if it's gonna go wrong, a wireless

17
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: minke will go wrong. Well, I can shout, but only

18
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: for a limited period of time. This. Yeah, And we

19
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: told you guys when we this is gonna go terrible.

20
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 1: It's it's gonna be a disaster. It's go it's really

21
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: going to give you an idea of what a disaster

00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 1: But are you calling me a criminal? Yeah? That's that.

68
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 1: That is that is fair. So like you care for

69
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: the wrong people in the movie. And then we got

70
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: we got the backup just in case. This one's real

71
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 1: rusty and dull, so we don't want to use it

72
00:04:54,920 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: on the bagels. Yeah, this is the ghost knife. This

73
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: is the ghost knife. No, it's just it's a little billie.

74
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 1: You're getting real loose with the machete. That's just a

75
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 1: big gass knife. That's really all a machete is. Yeah,

76
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: so we're gonna play a little bit of what we

77
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 1: like to call bagel tennis here, um, which is exactly

78
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: what it sounds like. Although neither of us know how

79
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: to play tennis. We know the word love plays into it,

80
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: but don't tell us what it means. Um. We're just

81
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 1: gonna say it a lot as we knocked bagels around.

82
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: This is the splash zone. Um, hopefully bagel splashes most

83
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 1: of the machete. Have a wait to your hands, so

84
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: fingers crossed. I'm just it's working if I feel like

85
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: it's like, if I think something terrible like and make

86
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 1: it think that that's what I'm about to say, it'll work. Yeah. Yeah, yeah,

87
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: Like it feels like it's out to get me. Don't

88
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: talk like a Nazi, but think like a Nazi and

89
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: then say normal stuff. Ah, don to thank something terrible

90
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: like now I'm gonna say this. It's like if you're

91
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: at Thanksgiving, you're talking to Grandma and then she walks off,

92
00:06:21,920 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: then you're talking your cousin. Yeah. People in the hello, yeah, yeah,

93
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: you can tell yeah, Okay, Well that's good. That's a start.

94
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: That's a start. M Hmma. You can't tell where the

95
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: bad neighborhood has been Portland because it's all you guys

96
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: keep a bad element in every Yeah, keeps everybody on

97
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: their toes, you know. So uh, I mean I think

98
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: we should just pray to the gods of microphones and

99
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: uh and and get into this son of a bitch

100
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: because these people paid to learn about somebody terrible. The

101
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: recording might be just the worst thing. Now, this is

102
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: gonna be a This is gonna be a unique experience

103

Speaker 1: they believed about? I don't know, races? Uh no, I

110
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: mean that probably did play into it at some point

111
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 1: with the nineteen thirties with six Olympics. But yeah, yeah, yeah,

112
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:00,679

Speaker 1: both and some other things you've heard about today, and

114
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: then we're gonna talk about what what what what that

115
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 1: dude was into when he wasn't coming up with sea monkeys?

116
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: Um and uh it's it's it's gonna be a happier

117
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:23,559

118
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: gotta be bad. It's gotta be bad. I do want

119
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: to see. I want to show of hands who hears

120
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: as a kid, had them or their parents spend money

121
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: on sea monkeys or X ray specks. That's a good number.

122
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,319
Speaker 1: You that's fun. Remember these numbers, these these hands in

123
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 1: the air. Yeah, he's a solid ghost stealer. The object

124
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: recording this event he bought off of a ghost detective. Yes,

125
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,079

126
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: just happened. So if this recording works out, there is

127
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,199
Speaker 1: a decent chance we will get to hear the ghost

128
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: of Saddam Hussein react to this podcast, which I'm very

129

Speaker 1: excited about. Yeah, I know that that's exactly where he

130
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: would end up. Yeah, you would hope. There's a lot

131
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: of Derrito's in this town. So well, I'm just I'm

133
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: We're up to a fucking great start. This is These

134
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: are the things that Sophie normally protects the audience from,

135
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: protects me from, um my incompetence. She is not here

136
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 1: right now, which means someone's going to get badly injured

137
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: and I am going to funk up even more than usual.

138
00:10:51,920 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: So heads up, Harold. Nathan Brownhood was born on March

139
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 1: thirty one nine in New York City, the city where

140
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: these bagels are not from. His parents, Jeanette Cohen and

141
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,959
Speaker 1: Edward Brownhod were Jewish. This will become very important later on.

142
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 1: They had moved to Manhattan from Memphis. Jeannette's family was

143
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: in the toy business and his father ran a printing shop.

144
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: Herman Brown, they went from Memphis to Manhattan. Yeah, yeah,

145
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: you could afford to do that back in the day. Yeah.

146
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: If I was Jewish and lived in Memphis, I would.

147
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: I can't think of many reasons I wouldn't leave Memphis.

148
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: But you know, I'm I'm a little biased that pyramid.

149
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 1: Memphis is the one with the pyramid, right. Also, it's

150
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,839
Speaker 1: very dangerous. Yeah, I just don't trust any town with

151
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 1: the pyramid. Um So. Herman Brownhood, Harold's first cousin, recalled

152
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 1: the family is fairly normal for the area, saying, quote,

153
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: they were as religious as most other Jews. I know

154
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: they went to Synagoge during the Jewish holidays. I believe

155
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: he was bar Mitzbud. I probably was there. Again, this

156
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 1: will be very relevant later on in the story. Answer,

157
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: I'm sure he did the thing we all do. Yeah.

158
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't know if that's okay. As

159
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: a child, Hermann recalled that Harold was always fooling around

160
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: with different kinds of gadgets. He had an inventor soul

161
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:37,199
Speaker 1: and a natural understanding of mechanics. He graduated high school

162
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 1: during the height of World War Two and attended business

163
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 1: school in nineteen ninety six. At the time, he lived

164
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: in Brighton Beach, a heavily Jewish neighborhood in Brooklyn. Are

165
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: you guys catching the foreshadowing here? Where this is going ahead? Yeah,

166
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 1: it's not. It's not a good place. Once he was

167
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: out of college, Harold bounced around an almost dizzying variety

168
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:57,839
Speaker 1: of careers. He served for a brief time in the

169
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: Merchant Marine. Then he became a motors cycle racer, working

170
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,439
Speaker 1: under the name the Green Hornet. And I think this

171
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: is before that. What what do you mean? That's not

172
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 1: a job. You can't you can't just tell your parents

173
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 1: like race motorcycles. I mean, why not? I just feel

174
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 1: like there's some I mean, Bruce Springsteen did, and look

175
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: at him, he's doing great. It is a little weird.

176
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna help sell stuff on boats now. A motorcycle

177
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 1: racer from our interact and our stories. Did he hit

178
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 1: his head? I mean, you know he was in the

179
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: Merchant marine. So there there's a lot of swinging like

180
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: ropes with hooks on him. Yeah, there's a good chance. Yeah,

181
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:45,719
Speaker 1: because it sounds like you go from being on a

182
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: boat to being like, I'm just gonna race this motorcycle

183
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,199
Speaker 1: for a list. He definitely picked up a couple of

184
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 1: head injuries in the motorcycle racing. Yeah. I don't know

185
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: people who commute with motorcycles and don't grab a couple.

186
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:01,079
Speaker 1: Um now, Yeah, I don't anymore about that period of

187
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: his life. I wish I could find like a picture

188
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 1: him as the Green Hornet. I want to know what

189
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: the costume was. He doesn't either. So Harold also worked

190
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: as a stage magician. Under this strong reaction to the

191
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: word magician, What how do you feel about magicians, Billy Wayne,

192
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 1: I don't like, I'll understand it's art or whatever. I

193
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know that art is the term

194
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: i'd use. Yeah, it is, it is whatever. Yeah, it's whatever. Yeah,

195
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 1: we can you imagine like he specified stage magician, stage magician. Yeah,

196
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: don't trick. I didn't even I didn't even get to

197
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: his name. The great Telepo. I think that means he teleported,

198
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: but again I have no details on this, but that's

199
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: the name he worked on for the Green Hornet immediately terrible.

200
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: This one seems to be doing well without your microphone

201
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: bringing down the the whole experience. Yeah, it's been great.

202
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 1: This one's doing great now. It's like your microphone was

203
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 1: the enabler. And like this guy is sobered up now

204
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: that it's friends like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

205
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: all right, we're in business. I mean, I'm always always

206
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: the samed You guys, don't turn the microphones on in

207
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 1: the studio anyway, No, Sophie. Sophie's gonna let me like

208
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 1: say the things that can't ever go out on the

209
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: air first, the stuff that's bleeped out about what you

210
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: should do to Jeff bezoss House, like that shit. Fuck. Okay,

211
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to get a We're gonna have to

212
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: get that ship in post um. He heard you say,

213
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 1: Yeah he did. There's an echo in the fucking room.

214
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: Yeah heard, he's listening. That's an Amazon machete. If you're

215
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: low on toilet paper, it'll order it. I did get

216
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: the I did get the studio machete off Amazon, and

217
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: it's a beautiful machete. Has got a supply he's got

218
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: he has more than I do. Yeah. So uh, back

219
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 1: to Harold. Now that we're fully operation, Harold had magician,

220
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 1: Harold the stage machician, magician machician. That was bad. Harold

221
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: segued rather naturally from racing and magician ng towards working

222
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: as a talent agent for other performers. Actually, this does

223
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: make that that's the first natural that's the first he's done.

224
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: That makes sense. You know what, I'm tired of doing

225
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: all the bullshit. I'm just gonna sell the guys who

226
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: do the bulls. Yeah, yeah, that's a good It's a

227
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: good cought. Not a bad kid. His price, his price.

228
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: Catch was Henry Lamore, one of the first magicians on television.

229
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 1: Lamore's claim to fame was a yearly scunt where he

230
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,400
Speaker 1: would dive from New York's Flatiron Building forty ft down

231
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 1: into a pool of water just twelve inches deep. He

232
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 1: want to guess you know, I impressed by that. I

233
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: think I'd want to see it before I gave it

234
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,879
Speaker 1: my proper reaction. I mean, the people, the fine people

235
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:29,679
Speaker 1: at Guinness, who we know cannot be bought. UM certified

236
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: this as a world record. It is he's like, he

237
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 1: got this many people to believe, so um it would

238
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: it would be fair to say, among a couple of

239
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,159
Speaker 1: other things that Harold brown Huod so far seemed to

240
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 1: have a passion for performance, But in nineteen fifty seven,

241
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 1: when he was thirty one, his father died. This spurred

242
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 1: him to make a change in his life. Starting in

243
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: the late nineteen fifties, Brownhood started inventing, filing patent after

244
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 1: patent for a variety of hitchy toys, products like amazing

245
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 1: hair raising monsters, which were basically a cross between a

246
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 1: troll doll and a chia pet. He had a peculiar

247
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 1: preference for selling live animals to children through the mail,

248
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 1: which is, here's the thing. You don't get to see

249
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: the result, and that's why you do something like that. Yeah,

250
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 1: you don't mail a pig to a kid without wanting

251
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 1: to see that kid open that pig. Also, can you

252
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:42,160
Speaker 1: imagine being like, I bought you a horse. Mailman will

253
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 1: be here in four days with he says there's there's

254
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:52,959
Speaker 1: holes in the packages. Well, he didn't sell anything as

255
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,160
Speaker 1: cool as horses. One of his inventions was crazy crabs,

256
00:18:56,320 --> 00:19:00,400
Speaker 1: which were just normal terrified Heramid crabs male to your

257
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 1: door in a cardboard box. Holy ship. Yeah, he's he's good.

258
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:10,399
Speaker 1: Think he's kind of funny. I'm being honest. So far

259
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 1: nothing to a business. You know, you knock on somebody's door,

260
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,239
Speaker 1: off and you run and they're like, who you get him?

261
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: What if we left a crab there? How do we

262
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: make money? I gotta go? So what? What made Crazy

263
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 1: Crabs special and sellable was the ad copy Harold wrote

264
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,640
Speaker 1: for the comic books and kids magazines like Boy's Life,

265
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 1: where he sold his gimmicks. Here's the description he wrote

266
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: for his Crazy Crabs. As gentle as a pussycat. It

267
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 1: lives on land instead of water, does not bite unless mishandled.

268
00:19:54,320 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 1: It loves to be touched unless you touch it. Now

269
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 1: you touch it, it's gonna you don't get near it.

270
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 1: It won't bother you at all. Just leaving the box,

271
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:10,119
Speaker 1: let it die on the on the porch. Yeah you

272
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 1: don't look shit, that's fucking it. Loves to be touched

273
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 1: and petted and a choice running for me. He's awesome.

274
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 1: I love this guy, really good time this guy, he

275
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: said it swinging from your fingers or just cuddling your

276
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 1: shoulder from like an adorable tame parrot, like a parrot

277
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 1: firm it perhaps, Oh man, I want that parrot that

278
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 1: can bite you. Does it talk? No? I want to

279
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 1: part with vices for hand. Yeah, that can't think pure

280
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: pure nature. I just want That's a toy for a

281
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 1: small here raiding, that's all it think. It's from the

282
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,880
Speaker 1: beginning of his career as a toy designer, Harold Brown

283
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: had knew that lying to you he's so loose with

284
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: the terms of what he's doing. He's he's amazing, he's amazing.

285
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 1: So you wanted a toy and he just hand you

286
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: a hermit crabs as an uncle thing to do. That's

287
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: his whole target audience is like just half lit uncle's

288
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 1: late for a birthday party. When did you get you?

289
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 1: I got you a legal turtle? Good? So yeah, Harold.

290
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: Harold was aware very early on that the key to

291
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 1: making money was lying to children. Still is still yeah. Now,

292
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 1: hermit crabs were a good proof of concept, but you know,

293
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: there's only so many kids want crabs, right Like if

294
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 1: cram is in the name, you got a limited. So

295
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: Harold had another more ambitious dream. He wanted to male

296
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,120
Speaker 1: children packets of Brian shrimp and pretend that they were

297
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: aquatic apes. Specific dream specific dream now. The inspiration for

298
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 1: this unique vision came in nineteen fifty seven when he

299
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 1: was in a pet store and saw a buffet of mushrooms.

300
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: He was chewing his fucking teeth. I want to go

301
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 1: on his pet start see your business idea. So he's

302
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:45,400
Speaker 1: in this pet store, he's he's a bucket of Brian

303
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 1: shrimp being sold as fish food, not as pets, because

304
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: they're not pets, and he's Yeah. For the record, Brian

305
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: shrimp are very tiny. They're almost invisible to the naked eye.

306
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: When magnified, they look like a weird cross between a

307
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 1: centipede and a sea horse. They do not look any

308
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:07,399
Speaker 1: logistic creatures. No rational person would consider them interesting by

309
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 1: the standards of most pets, but Harold thought Brian shrimp

310
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 1: were the perfect animal to sell and moss to children

311
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:18,919
Speaker 1: around the country. You know who's dumb as hale, fucking

312
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 1: kids people. You can make those sons of bitches due

313
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: by anything. We don't know anything. You see how well

314
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 1: lawn darts did. Fuck dumb, He would later tell an interviewer.

315
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,160
Speaker 1: I was always interested in wildlife and I was looking

316
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 1: for something that would interest and I was looking for

317
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: something that would interest other people in it. What do

318
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: you even say to that? You just even if you're

319
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: the journalists, you're just like, man, what are you doing?

320
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 1: You are full of ship God, I gotta print this.

321
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 1: So he started research later that year, in between working

322
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 1: on games like Older Dash and patenting, but with proof clothing.

323
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,679
Speaker 1: For three years he experimented. He was a busy fucker

324
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 1: for three years. Don't have to prove the patent work, no, No,

325
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 1: you just gotta sell it. Yeah. Yeah, there's no internet

326
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 1: back then, so no, he's gonna come and be like,

327
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: there's a problem with this bulletproof shirts. Yeah. So for

328
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 1: three years he experimented with Brian shrimp but trying to

329
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 1: figure out ways to essentially freeze dry their eggs so

330
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 1: they could be safely ship. How long was working on this?

331
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:40,120
Speaker 1: Three years? Three years? Three? It's hard, Okay, I'll give

332
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: it to him. It's not easy. There's a level of

333
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: like just sticking to it. No, he's not a lazy man,

334
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:52,879
Speaker 1: because three years a long time to be like, how

335
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 1: am I gonna freeze these this fish food? All the

336
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 1: history is built by men and women with visions because

337
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:06,879
Speaker 1: but they're not that stupid. Yeah, this is uh, this

338
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 1: is this is this is. This was a quest of

339
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 1: love for him. He loved the idea of selling Brian

340
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 1: shrimp to children. Uh and he yeah, he eventually figured

341
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 1: it out. Now, in nineteen sixty, his mom died of

342
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: a car crash, and later that year he revealed the

343
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: first iteration of what would prove to be his greatest innovation,

344
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:29,919
Speaker 1: Instant Life, Essentially a packet of dry Brian shrimp eggs,

345
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 1: he sold forty nine cents. Now, at this stage, the

346
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 1: product did not work well. Harold later recalled keeping them

347
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:40,119
Speaker 1: alive was a terrible struggle. So he makes them, but

348
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 1: they're they're still dying like like all the time. Jesus Well,

349
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 1: I mean they're Brian shrimp. I mean I understand. But still,

350
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 1: it's like the way he talks about it was kind

351
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 1: of just like just they die so fast. You can

352
00:25:55,720 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 1: hear him. It's terrible. They're real screamers. I'm blood lad.

353
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:06,679
Speaker 1: My experiments didn't make him live longer, but it made

354
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:14,640
Speaker 1: him real yelling. Yeah, yeah, you freeze him. It makes

355
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: him wild. Now, Harold promised Instant Happiness to the children

356
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,120
Speaker 1: who purchased as Brian Shrimp, but his sales were less

357
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 1: than impressive. Even a kids like fuck off, fuck off, Yeah,

358
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't want your fucking Brian instant have

359
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 1: you don't got cocaine? That would be the first Amazon

360
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 1: review today. Yeah. There were two problems. The first was

361
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 1: that the name Brian Shrimp did not inspire wonder in

362
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 1: the hearts of children. Brian is a bad marketing word

363
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 1: as a as a rule. The second was that all

364
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 1: the Brian shrimp he's sold kept dying. It was considered

365
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 1: incredibly lucky for just two of the little critters to

366
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 1: survive for thirty days. Not content to nature. Lucky. Yeah,

367
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 1: mag you got a puppy and it lived for thirty days,

368
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 1: You're like, that's pretty lucky. I mean that's when they're

369
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 1: at their cutest. How long do you need them after that?

370
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,880
Speaker 1: I like, like this, I was pretending you guys, there's

371
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 1: no dead puppy. There's no real dead puppy. Now, Billy Win,

372
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:17,879
Speaker 1: We're we're like maybe ten years off from a service

373
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: where they mail thirty day puppies to your house and

374
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:22,679
Speaker 1: then you get a new puppy thirty days later. When

375
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 1: that one just sort of I wish that's so. Amazon

376
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 1: Genetics is working on it right now. It's a thirty

377
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 1: dollars laughing because they know it's true. This is coming,

378
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 1: this is going happening right now. Everyone's like, stop talking

379
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 1: about the future. Yeah, we're trying to be funny, and

380
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 1: you guys are like, it's gonna happen. Jeff Bezos was

381
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,680
Speaker 1: at Christmas pretending to be a human for one brief

382
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 1: night when a friend of us said, I wish my

383
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:49,639
Speaker 1: puppy could stay this way forever, and he was like,

384
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 1: I know how to fucking monetize this ship. Yeah, that's

385
00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 1: how he sounds when he walks. So Like like all

386
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 1: great heroes in history, Harold was not content to let

387
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 1: nature beat him, so Mr brown House teamed up with

388
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 1: a marine biologist, Anthony d Agnostino, a micro crustacean expert.

389
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 1: They started claiming they'd invented a hybrid species are Temi

390
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 1: and Nios especially bred to be sold over the mail

391
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: to children. Brian shrimp already have eggs that essentially go

392
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 1: dormant in the right circumstances. Brown Hut and d Agostino

393
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 1: claimed their hybrid was even more survivable able to spend

394
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: weeks in the state of suspended animation. Brown had also

395
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 1: invented a mixture of what he called magic crystals. These

396
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 1: helps you know it's good science when the word magic wrong. Uh.

397
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 1: These apparently helped keep the Brian shrimp eggs alive. Now

398
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: it's still rather unclear to me if all this talk

399
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 1: of hybrids was complete bs or not. Almost certainly, but

400
00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: the Brian shrimp sold by brown Hood and the Agostino

401
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 1: from the point forward showed a markedly greater tolerance for

402
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 1: you know, shipping, and nobody really knows how they did it. Now.

403
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 1: Making the Brian shrimp more survivable was only one part

404
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 1: of the plan. Harold also had to invent a unique

405
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 1: lie to sell children. On the idea, he started packaging

406
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 1: his Brian shrimp and two little packets. The first was

407
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 1: labeled a water purifier, although it was actually just Brian

408
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 1: shrimp eggs. Harold's instructions were to pour this into the

409
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: water first and then let it sit for a few days.

410
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: During this time, unbeknownst to the child, the Brian shrimp

411
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: would sneak in sorry, just the way unbeknownst to them,

412
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 1: he'd sneak in their house they'd hatch and they would grow. Now,

413
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 1: the second packet, which supposedly contained Brian shrimp eggs, was

414
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 1: actually nothing more than die, which stained the now grown

415
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: Brian shrimp and made it look like they were appearing instantly.

416
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 1: That was a pretty fucking smart cod Like, that's a

417
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 1: good idea, I w waste of fucking energy. Why no,

418
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 1: you gotta impress the kids. They're not gonna stay impressed.

419
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 1: I mean, used to take it this far. It's so like,

420
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 1: do you think his friends are like, are you still

421
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 1: doing the thing? I mean, I hate to say it,

422
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 1: but he did make millions of dollars. There is one

423
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 1: friend who's like the whole time, like I told you

424
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 1: you could do it. Yea. He will go to waterpark again.

425
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 1: We're going to Maui this weekends. I love it. So

426
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 1: Harold's next and probably greatest innovation was to create a

427
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 1: bald face but beautiful lie about what his Brian shrimp were.

428
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 1: He hit upon the name sea monkeys and hired a

429
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 1: future Marvel artists to draw colorful depictions of humanoid looking

430
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 1: aquatic creatures for his comic book Adsture. So he used

431
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 1: that to get his Marvel job. Yeah, I think so

432
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 1: this is this is the hea. Do you want to

433
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 1: describe those sea monkeys to the audience. I mean they

434
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 1: look like if like you split the cone head's head

435
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 1: open and then ah, I mean they have like human features,

436
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 1: which is very strange, very unsettling. Yeah, and then but

437
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 1: they're they're also like lizard like. There's not monkey to them. Really,

438
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: they look vaguely ape like you know, but I mean

439
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 1: they have a not the dad's doing well. They have

440
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 1: an underground castle. Family looks happy. He's got a castle.

441
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 1: Definitely as a cat. It looks like they've got a

442
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 1: gardener because the plants are very nice around a couple

443
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 1: of kids. Yeah, you can see the idea, like by

444
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 1: these Brian shrimp and you'll have because that's what he

445
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 1: used his resume, Like, what have you done? You seen

446
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 1: this ship? Seen this ship? Everybody has these fucking monkeys. Yeah.

447
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna read a little bit from the ad copy,

448
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 1: which was written by her old Brownhood himself. So eager

449
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 1: to please, they can even be trained always clowning around

450
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 1: these troublesome pet troll sorry trollicksom which is not a word,

451
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 1: pet swim stunt and play games with each other because

452
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 1: they are so full of tricks, you'll never tire up

453
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 1: watching them. And raising sea monkeys is so easy even

454
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 1: a six year old can do it without help. Sea

455
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 1: monkeys eat very little, and they keep their waters so

456
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 1: clean they require only a minimum care. Although they love attention,

457
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 1: Anyone who enjoys the company of petch will adore sea monkeys.

458
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 1: Best of all, we even show you how to teach

459
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 1: them to obey your commands like a pack of friendly

460
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 1: trained seals. He's having fun, he's having a great time,

461
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 1: and up to this point, I'm totally on board with

462
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 1: I wouldn't hang out with him a lot. What is

463
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 1: what's the best lie you've told a child? Not my children? Yeah? Yeah, yeah.

464
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 1: But we did convinced my younger sister that we found

465
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 1: her under a rock, and then we found out years later.

466
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 1: She wasn't even upset. She just considered herself very lucky

467
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 1: because we probably loved one year, like Christmas or something.

468
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 1: I remember when you convinced you that you're living under

469
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 1: rock and we found you, and she was like, yeah,

470
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 1: I just thought, God, I'm lucky they found me. See,

471
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 1: you could have monetized that impulse. Billys rich fucking guy.

472
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 1: So Harold also hit upon the idea of selling his

473
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 1: sea monkeys with a two year life insurance policy, because

474
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 1: there's nothing kids love more than life, and oh my god,

475
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 1: so we play it every month, okay every month. Now

476
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 1: this all worked. Sea Monkeys took off like gangbusters, and

477
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 1: millions of little children, including like about a third of

478
00:33:56,400 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 1: the audience, it seems, herng their parrants for the one

479
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 1: or however much it was in your day it would

480
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 1: take to build their own marvelous underwater civilization. Most of

481
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 1: those kids were profoundly disappointed by the tiny, gross looking

482
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 1: little monsters that grew from the kids, but enough became

483
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 1: obsessed with Brian shrimp that there are still fan sites

484
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 1: for sea monkeys today. This is the thing people are into. Um.

485
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 1: Although Roy or someone in the audience when you said

486
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 1: there's still people that do it today just went, what

487
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:34,839
Speaker 1: you know what the internet is, it's Nazis and weird

488
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 1: ship like this like, sea Monkeys, were an enormous success.

489
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:42,280
Speaker 1: Hundreds of thousands of kids were sent out, netting millions

490
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,279
Speaker 1: of dollars for Harold Brownhood and the Transience Corporation, his

491
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 1: partners in the venture. With this massive success, under his belt.

492
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 1: Harold began to put out other hit products. He invented

493
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,880
Speaker 1: X ray specs, which he claimed her glasses that imparted

494
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 1: X ray vision to the wearer. Adds for the specs

495
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,280
Speaker 1: inevitably showed. See this is how, this is how fucking

496
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 1: incompetence I am. Without the fucking paper, I'm useless. I

497
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 1: don't have the talent that this guy has that I got.

498
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 1: Just got paper. You know what, Billy? In here? You

499
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 1: know what, Billy. We are on page four and if

500
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 1: I know one thing about the number four, it means

501
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:17,759
Speaker 1: that we should hit some bagels with some missions. Okay, yeah,

502
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:23,839
Speaker 1: I think I didn't. Robert sent me in text today

503
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 1: he was like, did you get permission to do the

504
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:28,800
Speaker 1: machete and bagel stuff? And I was like, I just

505
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,879
Speaker 1: figured it's better to ask for forgiveness than yeah, yeah,

506
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: permission on that stuff. I'll just know from the past

507
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 1: when you're like, can I bring a machete, they always

508
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 1: say no, yeah, yeah, yeah. Now, Billy, the dangerous thing

509
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 1: about serving the bagels, because we have a mic in

510
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:45,719
Speaker 1: one hand, is that you've got to serve with your

511
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 1: machete hand, which means there's a chance the machete is

512
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 1: gonna go flying. Now. They're rusty. Awesome, but that's not

513
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 1: a plus. Tetanis feels good. Yeah, a little bit of

514
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 1: lock Jaws helps with I'm gonna whack it down. I

515
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 1: don't whack it this way. I love serving on zero

516
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:17,319
Speaker 1: eleven tennis. Okay, you hit it though, Yeah, I think

517
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:22,320
Speaker 1: just enough to piss it off. There's nothing more dangerous

518
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 1: than piste off throwing bagels. Oh, you're doing it the

519
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:27,840
Speaker 1: responsible way because you care about the audience. I know.

520
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 1: I'm want to throw it like this so you get

521
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 1: a good rate. No, don't. I also want to do

522
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 1: it like this, all right, all right? Oh yeah, just

523
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 1: so much. I feel it. I feel like I'm probably

524
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:52,319
Speaker 1: more relaxed than you know, as a person. That's probably true. Yeah,

525
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 1: I felt okay about that. Yeah, I mean I'm out

526
00:36:54,680 --> 00:37:00,400
Speaker 1: of sighter. But so we've got plenty, we have so

527
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 1: many of you guys, Thank you. I assume this is

528
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 1: a collective manifestation of will from the audience. I was

529
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:19,799
Speaker 1: in Alaska one time, okay, speaking of grifters. Yeah, I'm

530
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 1: in Alaska a bunch. It's awesome. Uh, they got a

531
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:26,800
Speaker 1: good spirit up there. But I was, I was, I

532
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 1: put a beer down. This is back when I used

533
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 1: to drink. I put a beer down, and three minutes later,

534
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 1: four beer showed up on stage because people in the

535
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:39,279
Speaker 1: like four different people. As soon as I was done

536
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:43,919
Speaker 1: with my beer, like, get him another one? He could

537
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:48,879
Speaker 1: uh when I was like, Alaska is awesome. It's great.

538
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:52,239
Speaker 1: It's it's it's a it's it's great because it's one

539
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 1: of the states that's testing vaguely what what you b

540
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:57,320
Speaker 1: I could be. And I had a discussion online with

541
00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:00,440
Speaker 1: some people about Andrew Yang's plan for universal base IT income,

542
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 1: and one thing I said is that if you get

543
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 1: a problem with how many A R fifteens there are,

544
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 1: wait until how many more there are when people getting

545
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 1: a thousand dollars a month from the government. And somebody

546
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,399
Speaker 1: from Alaska chimed in and said, we get like four

547
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:13,319
Speaker 1: thousand bucks from the government every year, and yet people

548
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 1: spend it all on gun. Yes, everyone in armed in Alaska.

549
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 1: It's awesome. It's great, it is awesome. Yeah, now we

550
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 1: should we would probably get back to this whole. I know,

551
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 1: I just want to go to Alaska. Now, you know

552
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 1: what we could do? We should do a show there.

553
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 1: They don't even they don't even care what we're doing.

554
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 1: They're just happy when people show up. Oh man, we

555
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 1: could get bear guns. You gotta have a bear gun

556
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 1: in Alaska. It's safety because like a seatbelt for bears.

557
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 1: And also and also people, yeah, and people, so okay, yeah,

558
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 1: adds for the X rayspects. We're talking about X rayspects,

559
00:38:56,080 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 1: Harold Brownett's other genius invention, um now adds for these specs.

560
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 1: It's inevitably showed a sleazy looking seventies man leering at

561
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: a woman in address. The implication, of course, is that

562
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 1: if you buy these X respects, you yeah, exactly here

563
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:15,719
Speaker 1: you get they would sound like the like to like

564
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 1: boy Scouts and be like you want to look under

565
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:20,760
Speaker 1: girls close by these glasses. This is the boy Scouts

566
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 1: and we're fine. Face it was. That is true, it's

567
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 1: it was a wild time gay. No, then you get

568
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 1: your ass kicked, get out of here. No, no, now. Obviously,

569
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:38,439
Speaker 1: in reality they were not X rayspects. That would also

570
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:41,280
Speaker 1: be horribly dangerous. There would be so much more cancer

571
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 1: if they were really X ray glasses. Um, they were

572
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 1: just a gimmick that basically created a double vision illusion

573
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 1: that made it look sort of like you could see

574
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 1: into your own hand. It was like a bunch of

575
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 1: slits into the plastic and stuff. I don't want to

576
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:56,360
Speaker 1: I don't want to bore you with un slits. Sounds

577
00:39:56,400 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 1: like it work. Um they did not let you see

578
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:06,400
Speaker 1: through women's clothing. But I'm trying to just talk right there.

579
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 1: I've watched the Mighty Gymstone. Um. Yeah, the specs sold

580
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:17,920
Speaker 1: very well, nonetheless, as did bron HUD's most brilliant invention.

581
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:20,800
Speaker 1: You're gonna like this one. This is his most brilliant

582
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 1: one yet, the Invisible Goldfish. I have some for sale tonight.

583
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 1: Get your money out. He was basically just shipping fish

584
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 1: food and an empty glass. It's amazing. I do have

585
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:43,440
Speaker 1: a friend early on and like just people messing around

586
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:45,400
Speaker 1: with the internet when we were figuring out what it was.

587
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 1: He got kicked off of eBay because he was trying

588
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:54,440
Speaker 1: to sell a ghost in the jar. I laughed for

589
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:59,919
Speaker 1: like two fucking days straight. That guy should have gotten

590
00:40:59,920 --> 00:41:02,360
Speaker 1: a fucking TV show. Well, no, and he won't. He

591
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:04,720
Speaker 1: had a good job. He wouldn't quit it to do comedy.

592
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 1: I was so mad at it, and I was like,

593
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 1: people have ever heard He's like I'm in charge of people,

594
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:12,319
Speaker 1: and I was like, you need to be out there

595
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 1: doing stuff. The world needs you. He's so fucking funny. Yeah,

596
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:20,640
Speaker 1: it was really good. Also, the the Invisible Goldfish came

597
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:22,960
Speaker 1: with a hundred percent guarantee that you would not see

598
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:26,439
Speaker 1: the fish, which was the really easy to like, Yeah,

599
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:33,880
Speaker 1: I told you, yeah, you fucking goldfish and though visible, Hey,

600
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:37,319
Speaker 1: so you can't even fail him sometimes. Now, at this point,

601
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 1: we've all had fun with Harold Brown's story, But the

602
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 1: worst thing you could say about him is that his

603
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 1: products were a little bit of a scam, playing on

604
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:46,840
Speaker 1: the reality distortion field generated by comic books and the

605
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:49,840
Speaker 1: desire of small children to believe in wonderful things. But

606
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 1: of course, this is not just the story of a

607
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 1: man who scammed some kids out of their allowance money.

608
00:41:55,200 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 1: You see, Harold Harold Brown hood lived a second life

609
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:04,960
Speaker 1: outside of the bustling world of shitty comic book scam toys,

610
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 1: and he funneled the profits from Sea Monkeys and X

611
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 1: ray Spects and Invisible Goldfish towards a very specific political end. Now,

612
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 1: I want to get a show of hands who spent

613
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 1: money on any of these products. Come on, get him

614
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 1: back up, Get him back up, get him back up,

615
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:22,920
Speaker 1: all right, keep him in the air. That specific political

616
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 1: end was national socialism. Yeah, he's a fucking Nazi. Tanks

617
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:39,360
Speaker 1: a lot you guys, thanks a lot. A lot of

618
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:42,080
Speaker 1: people just learned. They helped fund the Area Nations tonight,

619
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. I just think that, what are you gonna

620
00:42:56,080 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 1: do to your millions? I got some plans? Oh shit,

621
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 1: he did, because like the way he sold stuff is

622
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:09,879
Speaker 1: the way that preachers work. Yeah, it's like they it's

623
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 1: like at the end of a comic book, which is like, oh,

624
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 1: it's a crazy fucking story, and you're all worked up,

625
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:16,279
Speaker 1: and at the end you're like, hey, here's some ship

626
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 1: for three dollars, right, you got me? Yeah, and then

627
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:24,520
Speaker 1: Nazism and then yeah yeah, and then he's like, you

628
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:28,880
Speaker 1: know what the Jews, of which he was. Yeah. Now,

629
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 1: starting at some point after the nineteen sixties, he changed

630
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:38,239
Speaker 1: his name from Harold Brownhood to Harold Vaughan Brownhod. There

631
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 1: we go, subtle Germanism, yea. Now, the Vans suggested he

632
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:45,360
Speaker 1: came from German noble blood and was thus a true

633
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:48,480
Speaker 1: Arian rather than a working class Jewish kid from Manhattan.

634
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:55,400
Speaker 1: This is fifteen years after the stuff. Yeah. Yeah, in

635
00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:59,239
Speaker 1: the sixties is like right when they're taking off actually, okay, yeah,

636
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 1: this is the height of sea monkeys. Yeah, sixties, seventies. Yeah,

637
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:07,319
Speaker 1: he's he's he's he's doing well, he's okay. Yeah, he's

638
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:12,919
Speaker 1: a Nazi. Yeah, but he was before. Yeah. Now, I'm

639
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 1: not really sure why Harold changed his name, and I'm

640
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:19,440
Speaker 1: not really sure at what point he became enthralled with

641
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 1: um national socialism. Um. I would guess after you make

642
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 1: a crazy amount of money from selling dumb ship two kids, Yeah,

643
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:32,440
Speaker 1: you start buying into your own bullshit a little bit,

644
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:36,239
Speaker 1: so you're like, I'm bonn Man And you know who

645
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 1: else was good at selling bullshit too, kids? Hitler? Hitler

646
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:45,400
Speaker 1: the King. Yeah. Now, what we do know is that

647
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 1: Harold was not particularly shy about his infatuation with fascism.

648
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:52,759
Speaker 1: He lined his personal study with a poster autographed by

649
00:44:52,840 --> 00:45:00,239
Speaker 1: Hermann Gering and an inscribed picture of Benito Mussolini. Don't

650
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:07,280
Speaker 1: Salini like pretty cool? Right, that's the worst of the fascist.

651
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:09,480
Speaker 1: If you want to know how much I like fascism, like,

652
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:14,400
Speaker 1: he was bad. That's the fucking carrot top of fascism.

653
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:16,520
Speaker 1: And I've got him on my wall. I got it,

654
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 1: that's my guy. Pretty cool, right. He spent some of

655
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:26,360
Speaker 1: his Sea monkey money on a rare print of a

656
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:30,120
Speaker 1: World War Two Luftwaffe aircraft signed by four top Nazi

657
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 1: ace pilots. Where do you even get gun shows? You get?

658
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 1: You buy that at a gun show. I know exactly.

659
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:37,920
Speaker 1: You buy that at a gun show in Dallas, Texas.

660
00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 1: I've seen that on sale. Yeah, yeah, it was just

661
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:51,719
Speaker 1: some dude's barn or it grants pass like like that

662
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:55,640
Speaker 1: was a great reaction, Like, yeah, we all know Josephine.

663
00:45:55,800 --> 00:46:03,279
Speaker 1: Yeah that's very actor. I don't like how accurate that is. Yeah.

664
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 1: In short, he had the kind of office that only

665
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:09,120
Speaker 1: a Nazi or a very specific kind of podcast host

666
00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:13,160
Speaker 1: would have. I I do have a gearing original, but

667
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 1: it's it's a tasteful nude. Yeah, I don't. I don't

668
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:23,800
Speaker 1: like him. I don't like him for the bombing of Britain.

669
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:25,960
Speaker 1: I like him for his opiate addiction. He was a

670
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 1: real artist when it came to being addicted to painkillers.

671
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:30,319
Speaker 1: One of one of the best, one of the best.

672
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:32,480
Speaker 1: You know, You've got to separate the art from the artist,

673
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:36,840
Speaker 1: that's all I'm gonna say, yeah. It seemed to affect

674
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:41,120
Speaker 1: him a little bit, seemed to have affected London to Yeah.

675
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:45,200
Speaker 1: He later get to his head. Yeah. Now, it's possible

676
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:48,279
Speaker 1: that Harold's growing Nazism was responsible for his divorce from

677
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:52,840
Speaker 1: his first wife. Maybe, why do you want to divorce

678
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:56,840
Speaker 1: your husband? He's a Nazi? You know what, We're not

679
00:46:56,920 --> 00:47:03,320
Speaker 1: even going to deal with the paperwork. Yeah, don't the

680
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:07,800
Speaker 1: extra I expect money. He keeps the Sea monkey money.

681
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:13,400
Speaker 1: They had one child together, a boy who she took. Now,

682
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:16,040
Speaker 1: some journalists who reported on him later in life did

683
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 1: manage to get in touch with his first wife. She

684
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:21,600
Speaker 1: claimed to be quote unaware of his other activities, despite

685
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:24,719
Speaker 1: their occasional contact, which may have been drew. Maybe not.

686
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:26,680
Speaker 1: She got out. So I'm not gonna I'm not gonna

687
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:28,879
Speaker 1: not gonna labor too long on that. We'll talk about

688
00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:31,839
Speaker 1: his second wife a little bit. Now, what's the nine

689
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:36,040
Speaker 1: seventies rolled around? Those other activities that Harold was involved

690
00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:39,840
Speaker 1: in included membership in the Arian Nations. Now, if you

691
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:42,399
Speaker 1: haven't heard about these dudes, the Area Nations are based

692
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 1: up in Hayden Lake in the Great may not be

693
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:52,239
Speaker 1: the right word in the state of Idaho, um, it's there. Yeah,

694
00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:57,760
Speaker 1: you and a lot of members of the Area Nations.

695
00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:02,759
Speaker 1: Actually they weren't there that night. They were not there.

696
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:09,080
Speaker 1: There was just one scared kids and just me going,

697
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:14,480
Speaker 1: you mean I can't smoke. You can't smoke in jail.

698
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:16,000
Speaker 1: You can smoke in prison. I was like, well, let's

699
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 1: go to fucking prison. I want to say. They thought

700
00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:26,719
Speaker 1: it was pretty funny, and I knew I was gonna

701
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:27,880
Speaker 1: get out in the morning so I could beat a

702
00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:29,399
Speaker 1: little bit of a smartass, you know what I mean?

703
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:39,440
Speaker 1: M hm. Now, the Aryan Nations had started off as

704
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:42,799
Speaker 1: a single church in the Christian identity tradition. For those

705
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:45,400
Speaker 1: of you who don't know what that means, Christian identity

706
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:49,160
Speaker 1: beliefs focus around a couple of core concepts. Number one,

707
00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:54,000
Speaker 1: white people are the real Israelites. Number two, Jewish people

708
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:59,439
Speaker 1: are faking it. And number three, that's funny. You guys

709
00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:03,600
Speaker 1: are fake. Yeah, you guys are fake, and we're the Israelites.

710
00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:08,399
Speaker 1: Your dad's Satan. Yeah, that's it in a nutshell. Why,

711
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 1: that's that's a weird speech. Ye. Can you show your work?

712
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 1: How did we come to these conclusions? You know that

713
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 1: they can billy, but it's just going to be a

714
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:26,040
Speaker 1: pamphlet of why the courts aren't real because they're trying

715
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:31,680
Speaker 1: you under a flag of admiralty. That is, you're saying, well,

716
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:34,359
Speaker 1: can are you that? That sounds right? I don't even

717
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:37,800
Speaker 1: know what it means. Now. In nineteen fifty seven, the

718
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:40,080
Speaker 1: same year A Board Harold come up with his famous

719
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:43,400
Speaker 1: seal mummified Brian shrimp eggs to children plan. The founder

720
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:46,440
Speaker 1: of the church, a dude named Wesley Swift, settled on

721
00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:50,839
Speaker 1: a name Church of Jesus Christ Christian because fascists are

722
00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:54,640
Speaker 1: not very creative people. Now in the late nineteen seventies, Yeah,

723
00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:59,360
Speaker 1: it's a good name, Jesus Christ Christian. It's strange, like

724
00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:02,560
Speaker 1: you have do you call it anything? Yeah? And he's

725
00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:06,960
Speaker 1: like Jesus Christ Christian. I mean, it's like it's either

726
00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:09,000
Speaker 1: it's either we go to the Church of Jesus Christ

727
00:50:09,080 --> 00:50:11,120
Speaker 1: Christian up in Hayden Lake, or we drive five and

728
00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:12,960
Speaker 1: a half hours to the movie theater we're in the

729
00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:20,680
Speaker 1: middle of Idaho. Yeah, I guess because I didn't have

730
00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:28,280
Speaker 1: enough money for gas. Now, in the late nineties seventies,

731
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:30,640
Speaker 1: a guy named Richard Butler took over and he moved

732
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:33,400
Speaker 1: the church to a big compound in the woods the area.

733
00:50:33,719 --> 00:50:37,520
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I mean, look, we're not against We're all

734
00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:40,760
Speaker 1: fans of compounds in the woods here. That that's that's

735
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:43,800
Speaker 1: that's why we do most of what men do to

736
00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:45,640
Speaker 1: get a compound in the day, I'll have it in

737
00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:48,719
Speaker 1: the woods. That's why I'm moving towards my career goal

738
00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:54,080
Speaker 1: of becoming a freelance cult leader tax situations. You want

739
00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:59,040
Speaker 1: to full time, y'all, y'all need a leader. I'm pretty

740
00:50:59,080 --> 00:51:02,839
Speaker 1: free for more months. I can do it hours a week.

741
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:07,440
Speaker 1: Only do weird sex ones though that's only want well,

742
00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:09,760
Speaker 1: of course, yeah, yeah, I ain't in the murder cults.

743
00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:15,640
Speaker 1: I don't do that. The area Nations would be a

744
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:19,200
Speaker 1: central location in virtually every act of white supremacist terrorism

745
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:21,600
Speaker 1: that occurred from the end of the nineteen seventies up

746
00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:25,040
Speaker 1: until two thousand one. Butler himself is an interesting guy,

747
00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:27,160
Speaker 1: and we're definitely gonna we're gonna be talking about Richard

748
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:29,960
Speaker 1: Butler in a future episode. But for now, what's most

749
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:32,760
Speaker 1: important is that you know his middle name was Guerrant,

750
00:51:33,040 --> 00:51:36,320
Speaker 1: which I think is objectively guerrant, Like nobody's fucking g

751
00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:43,399
Speaker 1: I R n T. That's fucking stupid. It explains the anger. Yeah,

752
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:47,440
Speaker 1: I would be pissed. Yeah, he's mad. Yeah. Also, if

753
00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:50,560
Speaker 1: you're gonna start like a what supremacy thing like that,

754
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:52,959
Speaker 1: you need to do it in the woods, you gotta

755
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:54,919
Speaker 1: do in the woods because they don't need to see

756
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:59,200
Speaker 1: any other people. I guess we are the bet. There's

757
00:51:59,239 --> 00:52:06,680
Speaker 1: nobody else with a it's just us and the other day.

758
00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:11,880
Speaker 1: I don't think we're the base. He just shoots the

759
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:19,000
Speaker 1: TV so old Garrant. Butler grew up in Los Angeles, California.

760
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:22,640
Speaker 1: He majored in aeronautical engineering. In his youth, he was

761
00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:26,560
Speaker 1: a member of the Silver Shirts, an American fascist organization

762
00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:28,920
Speaker 1: that we're basically the Proud Boys of the nineteen thirties.

763
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:31,600
Speaker 1: He had a successful career as an engineer, and he

764
00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:33,759
Speaker 1: moved to Idaho in the mid fifties in order to

765
00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:37,840
Speaker 1: become the human center of American fascism. Like Harold, he

766
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:41,440
Speaker 1: was an inventor. Butler held the American and Canadian patents

767
00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:45,279
Speaker 1: for quick Repair Tobe Bliss tires. So that's neat to

768
00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:49,319
Speaker 1: what quick repair to Bliss tires? That's pretty cool. Yeah,

769
00:52:49,400 --> 00:52:51,880
Speaker 1: it's pretty It's a weird thing, to be guess. You

770
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:53,920
Speaker 1: got tires. You're funding the Nazis too. I don't know,

771
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:57,600
Speaker 1: I don't know how tires work. Maybe we moved on. Yeah.

772
00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:01,919
Speaker 1: In the Latin nineteen seventies and early nineteen or sorry,

773
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:04,200
Speaker 1: the late nineteen seventies and early nineteen eighties was a

774
00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:07,279
Speaker 1: time of growing activity and extremism from the fascist rite.

775
00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:09,759
Speaker 1: In nineteen seventy nine, the KKK attempted to kick a

776
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:11,960
Speaker 1: bunch of Vietnamese refugees out of the town of Sea

777
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:13,640
Speaker 1: Drift on the grounds that they were too good at

778
00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:16,720
Speaker 1: crab fishing. Hundreds of clansmen from around the country rallied

779
00:53:16,760 --> 00:53:19,080
Speaker 1: and Sea Drift boats. You gotta problem with that, billy,

780
00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:22,440
Speaker 1: That's the reason they gave. Yeah, you guys are too

781
00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:24,879
Speaker 1: good at fishing. It turns out they were not fans

782
00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:30,680
Speaker 1: of the free market. But could you understand how in

783
00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:34,320
Speaker 1: saying that complaint is like where the superior race? You

784
00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:42,200
Speaker 1: guys are too good at this thing. You're like, I'm okay,

785
00:53:42,239 --> 00:53:45,640
Speaker 1: I don't even know where to start. We're just gonna

786
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:50,040
Speaker 1: go keep crab fishing, okay. So hundreds of clansmen from

787
00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:52,560
Speaker 1: around the country rallied and Sea Drift boats were burned.

788
00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:56,400
Speaker 1: People were attacked uniformed KKK members patrolled the coast with rifles.

789
00:53:56,719 --> 00:53:59,320
Speaker 1: All this came a matter of weeks after the Greensboro massacre,

790
00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:02,239
Speaker 1: in which claims sman murdered five communist activists in North

791
00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:05,799
Speaker 1: Carolina and got off essentially scott free. That same year,

792
00:54:06,160 --> 00:54:09,360
Speaker 1: Harold von brown Hut, inventor of Sea Monkeys, was arrested

793
00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:12,400
Speaker 1: on an illegal weapons charge in La Guardia Airport. The

794
00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:14,880
Speaker 1: cause of the arrest was a device he had patented

795
00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:19,080
Speaker 1: earlier that year, a spring whip defense mechanism he marketed

796
00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:22,719
Speaker 1: as the Kiyoga Agent M five. It was essentially a

797
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:27,000
Speaker 1: telescoping baton for beating people with. Now, the ads for

798
00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:32,479
Speaker 1: the ko invented I thought about hitting people with a stick,

799
00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:36,080
Speaker 1: but at first was his hard and it was like

800
00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:43,480
Speaker 1: and now I made it. I do live in the woods.

801
00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:55,359
Speaker 1: Why now? The ads for the Kioga Agent M five

802
00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:59,680
Speaker 1: started with this text. When your capital letters worse to nightmare,

803
00:54:59,800 --> 00:55:03,160
Speaker 1: but comes capital letters real and suddenly you are face

804
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:05,680
Speaker 1: to face with a mugger capital letters. You don't need

805
00:55:05,719 --> 00:55:08,359
Speaker 1: a gun, no self defense device that you can get

806
00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:11,160
Speaker 1: without a license. It can make you safer or give

807
00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:14,000
Speaker 1: you more protection. Strike down any attack of regardless of

808
00:55:14,080 --> 00:55:19,560
Speaker 1: sizer strength with capital letters, kiyoga, the steel cobra. Hell yeah,

809
00:55:20,560 --> 00:55:24,359
Speaker 1: he knew his audience. Yeah, I'm not mad at him

810
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:28,400
Speaker 1: for that. Billy Way, I got a cobra. Wanna magic

811
00:55:28,520 --> 00:55:30,880
Speaker 1: stick like that. I'm gonna show you the ad for

812
00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:35,600
Speaker 1: the kid. What don't you describe to It's I mean,

813
00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:38,480
Speaker 1: it just looks like the It looks like a B

814
00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:43,200
Speaker 1: movie cover from the seventies. It's like a Richard Branson,

815
00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:46,120
Speaker 1: not Richard Brnchard Bronson. I would say the guy in

816
00:55:46,120 --> 00:55:47,960
Speaker 1: the cyner looks a little bit like Ringo, but yeah,

817
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:50,239
Speaker 1: maybe Bronson is a better pick. Yeah, I mean I

818
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:52,359
Speaker 1: think that's who they're trying to go, but it does. Yeah,

819
00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:56,719
Speaker 1: it just looks like a Beatle version of him. And

820
00:55:56,800 --> 00:56:00,919
Speaker 1: then there's like a mummy, and then there's a guy.

821
00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:03,800
Speaker 1: There's like a woman, like a sexy woman just about

822
00:56:03,840 --> 00:56:06,359
Speaker 1: to knock to shut out of a dude, and there's

823
00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:09,480
Speaker 1: like a nerve with sticks are conspicuously white, and all

824
00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:13,880
Speaker 1: of the muggers are indeterminate. They have been in the

825
00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:21,680
Speaker 1: sun longer, which is very Yeah, it's very clear. There's

826
00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:25,160
Speaker 1: no risk though. Ninety day free trial. So the big

827
00:56:25,360 --> 00:56:28,040
Speaker 1: text on the ad. Just walk around and some people

828
00:56:28,080 --> 00:56:31,040
Speaker 1: and if you don't like it, send it back. Like

829
00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:34,320
Speaker 1: a quarter of the page is just the all caps,

830
00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:39,360
Speaker 1: high font words you don't need a gun, which I

831
00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:41,200
Speaker 1: can think of very few things that are good that

832
00:56:41,320 --> 00:56:44,279
Speaker 1: start that way. You'll need a gun. You don't need

833
00:56:44,360 --> 00:56:50,480
Speaker 1: a gun. But under here it's it's so effective, it's

834
00:56:50,560 --> 00:57:01,400
Speaker 1: almost too good to be true. A thunderbolt of life

835
00:57:01,480 --> 00:57:13,520
Speaker 1: saving power at your command. Fucking it's remarkable. It's remarkable.

836
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:17,960
Speaker 1: I mean, just advertisers today are just lazy guy your ship.

837
00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:22,080
Speaker 1: They're just garbage. There's some links at the bottom beginning

838
00:57:22,200 --> 00:57:29,520
Speaker 1: you don't need a gun, Disney World, right, hold on,

839
00:57:29,720 --> 00:57:36,200
Speaker 1: go on now. The Kiyoga Agent telescoping beat stick was

840
00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:39,480
Speaker 1: a product Almost Taylor made for American neo Nazis, many

841
00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:42,160
Speaker 1: of whom had pre existing criminal records and we're unable

842
00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:46,080
Speaker 1: to legally purchase firearms. The actual ad advised the weapon

843
00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:48,000
Speaker 1: as a purchase for people who might need a gun

844
00:57:48,200 --> 00:57:52,000
Speaker 1: but can't get a license. Are you too much of

845
00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:55,720
Speaker 1: a criminal for a pistol? Did the government find out

846
00:57:55,720 --> 00:58:09,120
Speaker 1: what a piece of ship you are? Week right now,

847
00:58:12,320 --> 00:58:17,240
Speaker 1: Jesus pride, it's not dumb. It's just evil. Yeah, no,

848
00:58:17,400 --> 00:58:20,920
Speaker 1: it is it. Yeah. Now, the Kiyoga M five was sold,

849
00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:25,000
Speaker 1: among other places, in Spotlight magazine, a Holocaust de Nio

850
00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:28,360
Speaker 1: publication started by Willis Carto, founder of the Liberty Lobby

851
00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:32,120
Speaker 1: and basically our great nation's first Richard Spencer. We'll come

852
00:58:32,160 --> 00:58:35,360
Speaker 1: back to this in a little bit. So police at

853
00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:38,840
Speaker 1: LaGuardia arrested Von Brown Hunt for carrying six ki Yoga's

854
00:58:38,880 --> 00:58:42,120
Speaker 1: through the airport. In court, his lawyer successfully defended him

855
00:58:42,160 --> 00:58:45,120
Speaker 1: by arguing that this telescoping baton was quote not a

856
00:58:45,200 --> 00:58:47,840
Speaker 1: bludgeon and thus did not meet the definition of a

857
00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:51,800
Speaker 1: banned weapon. The actual ad promised it's hornet's nest of

858
00:58:51,880 --> 00:58:56,960
Speaker 1: piano wire steel springs, inflicting scruciating agony, but apparently that

859
00:58:57,040 --> 00:59:00,960
Speaker 1: did not qualify it as a bludgeon. He is a bludgend.

860
00:59:02,040 --> 00:59:06,160
Speaker 1: What he didn't say, bludgend? What agony could be anything?

861
00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:11,520
Speaker 1: Heartbreak can cause you agony? Yeah, you lose this thing.

862
00:59:11,640 --> 00:59:17,680
Speaker 1: He's so sad. Now, Harold may have actually been saved

863
00:59:17,760 --> 00:59:21,400
Speaker 1: by his complete incompetence as an inventor. During the court case,

864
00:59:21,480 --> 00:59:24,840
Speaker 1: his art his lawyers staged demonstration where they hit somebody

865
00:59:24,880 --> 00:59:26,760
Speaker 1: with the baton to prove that it was actually a

866
00:59:26,840 --> 00:59:29,960
Speaker 1: really shitty weapon. So part of his defense was literally

867
00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:33,160
Speaker 1: like I did such a bad job that this doesn't

868
00:59:33,240 --> 00:59:39,040
Speaker 1: count as a weapon. Hit hit me, you know what?

869
00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:44,440
Speaker 1: Hit him with you. He's like that guy who who

870
00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:47,000
Speaker 1: promised to drink the what was it that that round

871
00:59:47,080 --> 00:59:49,880
Speaker 1: up fertilizer or something? Oh no, no was that? Huh?

872
00:59:51,960 --> 00:59:55,960
Speaker 1: Someone had the name glyco phosp faith. That's the fucking thing.

873
00:59:56,320 --> 00:59:58,400
Speaker 1: But with a little bit more follow through, not much more,

874
00:59:58,560 --> 01:00:00,800
Speaker 1: a little bit more. I'll do do it. Yeah, I'll

875
01:00:00,840 --> 01:00:03,320
Speaker 1: do it. I'll have him do it. I'll have this

876
01:00:03,400 --> 01:00:08,560
Speaker 1: guy my lawyer hired do it. Do it now. In

877
01:00:08,640 --> 01:00:12,320
Speaker 1: September of nine, a white supremacist terror group called The

878
01:00:12,520 --> 01:00:14,920
Speaker 1: Order was formed during a meeting of the Area Nations

879
01:00:14,960 --> 01:00:17,480
Speaker 1: in Hayden Lake. This group would go on to commit

880
01:00:17,560 --> 01:00:19,960
Speaker 1: several murders and rob more than four million dollars, some

881
01:00:20,080 --> 01:00:22,120
Speaker 1: of which was spent on heavy weaponry for the KKK

882
01:00:22,360 --> 01:00:28,360
Speaker 1: and neo Nazi groups, armored cars and ships. I think

883
01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:32,880
Speaker 1: that's what funded them before the armored car robberies. Yeah. Now,

884
01:00:33,040 --> 01:00:35,880
Speaker 1: in September of nineteen eighty four, when the Order was

885
01:00:36,040 --> 01:00:39,240
Speaker 1: you know, rolling rolling, right, along, the Area Nations hosted

886
01:00:39,360 --> 01:00:42,520
Speaker 1: another conference. The pamphlets from that time listed a number

887
01:00:42,560 --> 01:00:46,360
Speaker 1: of outstanding Area Nationalist leaders for praise. One of them

888
01:00:46,880 --> 01:00:50,320
Speaker 1: was Harold von brown Hut, inventor of Sea Monkeys. Since

889
01:00:50,400 --> 01:00:53,040
Speaker 1: the Area Nations was a gathering of different fascist groups

890
01:00:53,080 --> 01:00:55,200
Speaker 1: and all the different leaders singled out were listed as

891
01:00:55,240 --> 01:00:58,439
Speaker 1: belonging to separate organizations, Harold was noted as the leader

892
01:00:58,520 --> 01:01:03,520
Speaker 1: of the Imperial Order of the Black Eagle. I mean, yeah,

893
01:01:03,640 --> 01:01:05,680
Speaker 1: my son makes up a lot of weird names too,

894
01:01:07,240 --> 01:01:09,840
Speaker 1: That's what it is. Also, was this like a group

895
01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:19,120
Speaker 1: of neo Nazi people? Thank you, John? So this is

896
01:01:19,160 --> 01:01:21,720
Speaker 1: like a meeting of different ones. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's

897
01:01:21,800 --> 01:01:24,840
Speaker 1: it's like a bunch of different ones. I mean, there,

898
01:01:25,280 --> 01:01:28,160
Speaker 1: I understand that. But do you think at one point

899
01:01:28,280 --> 01:01:32,560
Speaker 1: during that meeting, they're like, are you the Sea monkey guy? Yes, mom,

900
01:01:34,120 --> 01:01:38,640
Speaker 1: Sea Monkeys? It hell yeah, you know, just because they're

901
01:01:38,680 --> 01:01:40,880
Speaker 1: not there are the they're those type of dudes, you know,

902
01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:42,880
Speaker 1: they're like there are a lot of like backwoods dudes

903
01:01:42,960 --> 01:01:49,720
Speaker 1: like millionaire made see see people pussy with eyes. Just

904
01:01:49,920 --> 01:01:53,520
Speaker 1: that kind of conversation went on. Do you know what

905
01:01:53,600 --> 01:01:56,160
Speaker 1: I mean? You know what the to recognize them. These

906
01:01:56,200 --> 01:01:58,439
Speaker 1: guys would have had to have read a comic book.

907
01:01:59,480 --> 01:02:07,600
Speaker 1: Well touche now uh. The Imperial Order of the Black

908
01:02:07,680 --> 01:02:09,920
Speaker 1: Eagle met in New York City in the early nineteen

909
01:02:09,960 --> 01:02:13,400
Speaker 1: eighties in a place called the Estonian House in Manhattan.

910
01:02:13,760 --> 01:02:17,600
Speaker 1: Speakers they hired included Robert Miles, a Christian identity theologist

911
01:02:17,640 --> 01:02:19,840
Speaker 1: to in nineteen seventy one was convicted of a bomb

912
01:02:19,920 --> 01:02:22,400
Speaker 1: plot to stop the integration of public schools in Michigan.

913
01:02:24,440 --> 01:02:27,240
Speaker 1: In the early nineteen eighties, Miles became the chief patron

914
01:02:27,320 --> 01:02:30,240
Speaker 1: of a philosophy known as the Northwest Imperative, which is

915
01:02:30,280 --> 01:02:33,320
Speaker 1: the idea that since the Pacific Northwest is the whitest

916
01:02:33,360 --> 01:02:35,840
Speaker 1: part of America, Nazis out to just moved there in

917
01:02:35,920 --> 01:02:42,720
Speaker 1: mass and take it over. Now. An Imperial Order newsletter

918
01:02:42,920 --> 01:02:46,520
Speaker 1: written by von Brownhood described Robert Miles as a famous

919
01:02:46,560 --> 01:02:50,480
Speaker 1: opponent of the Communist Zionist conspiracy who is nationally known

920
01:02:50,520 --> 01:02:53,600
Speaker 1: and rightist political movements that reflect the highest names and

921
01:02:53,720 --> 01:02:56,160
Speaker 1: ideals of the white race. Is a big, big fan

922
01:02:56,240 --> 01:03:01,000
Speaker 1: of Robert Miles. Now. In February, shortly after the Order

923
01:03:01,080 --> 01:03:03,920
Speaker 1: dissolved in a series of gunfights and betrayals, Harold Bond

924
01:03:03,960 --> 01:03:06,760
Speaker 1: Brownhood spoke on behalf of Reverend Butler at an Area

925
01:03:06,960 --> 01:03:10,160
Speaker 1: Nations meeting at a Washington chariton. That's where you want

926
01:03:10,200 --> 01:03:13,040
Speaker 1: to do that fucking mating is a Sharitan. There's just

927
01:03:13,240 --> 01:03:17,600
Speaker 1: like one family on vacation at that shared in there,

928
01:03:17,640 --> 01:03:22,280
Speaker 1: like this is a weird shared in. Hey, honey, you

929
01:03:22,360 --> 01:03:25,200
Speaker 1: notice how many guys with weird haircuts. I don't remember

930
01:03:25,440 --> 01:03:31,439
Speaker 1: Nazis existed anymore, but this whole Sharton has a lot

931
01:03:31,560 --> 01:03:35,640
Speaker 1: of Nazis. One of them hit me with a stick,

932
01:03:35,760 --> 01:03:37,840
Speaker 1: but it didn't really hurt all that. But it didn't

933
01:03:37,920 --> 01:03:41,280
Speaker 1: hurt at all. I'm not sure. He just right off

934
01:03:41,320 --> 01:03:49,960
Speaker 1: and he said the agony. I just look, that's my

935
01:03:50,040 --> 01:03:52,680
Speaker 1: favorite part of some antiquity, like the way they think.

936
01:03:52,720 --> 01:03:55,400
Speaker 1: And then we'll go to Shritan. I'll like it. It's nice.

937
01:03:55,520 --> 01:03:58,000
Speaker 1: It's nice, you know that. What they do is they

938
01:03:58,080 --> 01:03:59,800
Speaker 1: do a good job again in the coffee at on

939
01:04:00,040 --> 01:04:05,160
Speaker 1: time like that and in yourself. And they're good for

940
01:04:05,280 --> 01:04:11,520
Speaker 1: Stalen and my other group. I'm Laparta. Now. The cause

941
01:04:11,600 --> 01:04:14,560
Speaker 1: of the day at the Sheraton meeting was the repeal

942
01:04:14,720 --> 01:04:17,760
Speaker 1: of the Fourteenth Amendment, which made black people equal citizens

943
01:04:17,800 --> 01:04:20,520
Speaker 1: with equal protection under the law. At the meeting, one

944
01:04:20,600 --> 01:04:23,480
Speaker 1: white supremacist attendee recalled Von brown Hut as a guy

945
01:04:23,560 --> 01:04:27,240
Speaker 1: who didn't want too much exposure. He was kind of

946
01:04:27,280 --> 01:04:30,200
Speaker 1: a mysterious guy. He made his statement in favor of

947
01:04:30,280 --> 01:04:34,640
Speaker 1: the separation of races, and he got out. Keep him apart,

948
01:04:34,720 --> 01:04:42,600
Speaker 1: I gotta go. Later in von brown Hut wound up

949
01:04:42,640 --> 01:04:45,000
Speaker 1: in legal proceedings again, this time is part of the

950
01:04:45,080 --> 01:04:49,120
Speaker 1: indictment of an Ohio klansman Grand Dragon, Paul R. Roach,

951
01:04:49,480 --> 01:04:52,720
Speaker 1: who was charged with violating federal gun laws. Von brown

952
01:04:52,800 --> 01:04:55,120
Speaker 1: Hut was not actually charged in this for reasons I

953
01:04:55,160 --> 01:04:58,640
Speaker 1: can't explain, but he was accused of giving Roych eleven thousand,

954
01:04:58,760 --> 01:05:01,240
Speaker 1: nine hundred and fifty four dollars of Sea Monkey money,

955
01:05:01,640 --> 01:05:05,040
Speaker 1: which Roych used to purchase eighty three semi automatic pistols

956
01:05:05,080 --> 01:05:12,680
Speaker 1: and rifles allied it. He probably shipped him the same

957
01:05:12,720 --> 01:05:16,960
Speaker 1: way he did the Crabs. He's knocked on a door

958
01:05:17,200 --> 01:05:22,320
Speaker 1: or ann, and I said four pistols. That's what I said.

959
01:05:26,920 --> 01:05:31,440
Speaker 1: According to the Washington Post quote, Assistant U S Attorney

960
01:05:31,600 --> 01:05:34,600
Speaker 1: Thomas M. Bower, who prosecuted Roych, said the defendant and

961
01:05:34,680 --> 01:05:37,520
Speaker 1: Von Brownhood, we're friends. He said. Von Brownhood was prepared

962
01:05:37,560 --> 01:05:39,360
Speaker 1: to testify at the trial that he had lent Roych

963
01:05:39,480 --> 01:05:41,360
Speaker 1: the money for the purchase and then took possession of

964
01:05:41,400 --> 01:05:43,880
Speaker 1: the guns to secure the loan. The trial was called

965
01:05:43,920 --> 01:05:46,600
Speaker 1: off after Roych pleaded guilty to one count of illegally

966
01:05:46,640 --> 01:05:50,520
Speaker 1: transporting firearms across state lines. Von Brown Hunt was very

967
01:05:50,560 --> 01:05:53,360
Speaker 1: cooperative and pleasant with us. Bower said, he brought some

968
01:05:53,520 --> 01:05:59,760
Speaker 1: of his toys along, including the Sea monkeys. They check

969
01:05:59,800 --> 01:06:05,000
Speaker 1: him out, This guy about twelve tho dollars and guns

970
01:06:05,080 --> 01:06:09,919
Speaker 1: for a Nazi. But look at these little guys. They'll

971
01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:18,160
Speaker 1: dance if you poke them. As the ladies panty again.

972
01:06:18,400 --> 01:06:26,080
Speaker 1: That was the assistant U S attorney by Harold Von

973
01:06:26,120 --> 01:06:28,560
Speaker 1: Brownhood was will the funck into his support of the

974
01:06:28,600 --> 01:06:35,360
Speaker 1: American fascist movement. Still going strong Man now. That year,

975
01:06:35,480 --> 01:06:38,360
Speaker 1: his homie, Richard Butler wound up dealing with a lawsuit

976
01:06:38,440 --> 01:06:40,120
Speaker 1: as a result of the fact that he headed up

977
01:06:40,120 --> 01:06:42,960
Speaker 1: a violent hate movement that murder people. The Sea Monkey

978
01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:46,200
Speaker 1: inventor decided to help his friend by dedicating a chunk

979
01:06:46,240 --> 01:06:48,680
Speaker 1: of the profits from the sale of his Kioga agent,

980
01:06:48,880 --> 01:06:52,520
Speaker 1: M five telescope and baton to Butler's legal defense. In

981
01:06:52,600 --> 01:06:56,200
Speaker 1: a newspaper to his followers. Butler noted that the manufacturer

982
01:06:56,240 --> 01:06:58,200
Speaker 1: has made a pledge of twenty five dollars to my

983
01:06:58,320 --> 01:07:01,080
Speaker 1: defense fund for each one soul to air in Nation supporters.

984
01:07:01,480 --> 01:07:04,680
Speaker 1: He advises people to write and in small letters in

985
01:07:04,720 --> 01:07:06,680
Speaker 1: the order for him in order to ensure the funds

986
01:07:06,720 --> 01:07:10,000
Speaker 1: were properly located. So that's good, right, It's nice helping

987
01:07:10,040 --> 01:07:14,480
Speaker 1: a buddy out. Hi, man, Hey, you know, I don't

988
01:07:14,560 --> 01:07:19,240
Speaker 1: like asking for favors, but you know how I'm trying

989
01:07:19,280 --> 01:07:26,080
Speaker 1: to start a rice war. People are rolled up at

990
01:07:26,160 --> 01:07:32,040
Speaker 1: me about that government government. Could I have some of

991
01:07:32,160 --> 01:07:38,880
Speaker 1: that money? You have the beaten money and the monkey money.

992
01:07:39,160 --> 01:07:42,040
Speaker 1: I'll tell you something, I ain't above taking the monkey money.

993
01:07:42,080 --> 01:07:48,360
Speaker 1: I'll be in the brochure. Butler called the Kyoga a

994
01:07:48,440 --> 01:07:51,200
Speaker 1: fine article for self protection, and all whites are going

995
01:07:51,280 --> 01:07:53,360
Speaker 1: to need all the protection they can get in the

996
01:07:53,440 --> 01:07:59,000
Speaker 1: near future. That same year, Harold von Brown had conducted

997
01:07:59,040 --> 01:08:01,400
Speaker 1: an interview with the c at All Times where I guess,

998
01:08:01,440 --> 01:08:04,760
Speaker 1: to his credit, he spoke honestly about his racist beliefs.

999
01:08:04,880 --> 01:08:08,840
Speaker 1: He described his hatred of inscrutable slanty Korean eyes and said,

1000
01:08:09,240 --> 01:08:11,240
Speaker 1: you know what side I'm on. I don't make any

1001
01:08:11,320 --> 01:08:17,719
Speaker 1: bones about it. He did not any goddamn bones. Bones,

1002
01:08:19,800 --> 01:08:29,559
Speaker 1: silbones children, you sell them pre bones. It'll grow now,

1003
01:08:30,400 --> 01:08:32,559
Speaker 1: as you might expect. The fact the inventor of ex

1004
01:08:32,680 --> 01:08:35,680
Speaker 1: respects and sea monkeys was buying arms and fundraising for

1005
01:08:35,760 --> 01:08:38,640
Speaker 1: literal neo Nazis did not escape the notice of the

1006
01:08:38,680 --> 01:08:42,320
Speaker 1: mainstream press. The Washington Post, who in that day cared

1007
01:08:42,320 --> 01:08:45,160
Speaker 1: a little bit more about cantering fascism, put together an

1008
01:08:45,240 --> 01:08:48,920
Speaker 1: utterly damning article about the toy inventor's Nazi connections, But

1009
01:08:49,080 --> 01:08:51,759
Speaker 1: that was not the most damning aspect of their coverage

1010
01:08:51,800 --> 01:08:55,240
Speaker 1: of Harold's life. To his eternal shame, the Post revealed

1011
01:08:55,400 --> 01:09:02,760
Speaker 1: for the very first time that Harold von Brownhood was Jewish. Yeah,

1012
01:09:04,439 --> 01:09:10,800
Speaker 1: that funked up. It's fucking wild right now. There are

1013
01:09:10,840 --> 01:09:13,160
Speaker 1: a wide variety of things you would not want to

1014
01:09:13,320 --> 01:09:16,360
Speaker 1: be as a Nazi, but Jewish is probably top of

1015
01:09:16,439 --> 01:09:22,360
Speaker 1: the list. Yeah, hard to pick a one above that.

1016
01:09:25,640 --> 01:09:30,760
Speaker 1: I can't I can't really think of anything now. The

1017
01:09:30,840 --> 01:09:34,480
Speaker 1: Washington Post coverage first revealed the truth behind Harold's parentage

1018
01:09:34,560 --> 01:09:37,759
Speaker 1: and ethnicity. It also included an interview with Irwin Swall,

1019
01:09:37,880 --> 01:09:40,920
Speaker 1: a director for the Anti Defamation League, who said, we've

1020
01:09:41,000 --> 01:09:43,519
Speaker 1: long been monitoring Harold on Brownhood. He's linked to some

1021
01:09:43,600 --> 01:09:46,479
Speaker 1: of the most extreme racist and anti Semitic organizations in

1022
01:09:46,560 --> 01:09:50,640
Speaker 1: the country. He has a reputation of being a generous contributor.

1023
01:09:51,840 --> 01:09:55,040
Speaker 1: So that's cool, and we're going to talk about you

1024
01:09:55,080 --> 01:09:58,600
Speaker 1: think he was a generous contributor because he was like

1025
01:09:59,000 --> 01:10:01,599
Speaker 1: he's like, feels guilty. He's like, oh, you guys, once

1026
01:10:01,680 --> 01:10:03,680
Speaker 1: you find out something, you're gonna be so mad at me.

1027
01:10:04,320 --> 01:10:06,439
Speaker 1: I think he was buying his way into the cool.

1028
01:10:07,760 --> 01:10:11,880
Speaker 1: Oh man, when this comes out, you guys here, you're

1029
01:10:11,880 --> 01:10:14,479
Speaker 1: gonna hate me. Really, I know for a fact you're

1030
01:10:14,479 --> 01:10:18,519
Speaker 1: gonna hate me. Remember me for the weapons, I thought,

1031
01:10:18,720 --> 01:10:24,559
Speaker 1: Remember not for the religion of my parents. You're gonna

1032
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:30,920
Speaker 1: hear something. Think about now we're gonna hear how this

1033
01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:33,840
Speaker 1: all shook out once the news broke. But you know what,

1034
01:10:33,920 --> 01:10:38,360
Speaker 1: we gotta shake right now. We're gonna add some fucking

1035
01:10:38,360 --> 01:10:40,560
Speaker 1: bagels and some nights. If I just what if I

1036
01:10:40,600 --> 01:10:44,160
Speaker 1: just pulled my dick out, You're wrong. It's about to

1037
01:10:44,160 --> 01:10:48,240
Speaker 1: get weird as hail. It's Portland's everybody just be like

1038
01:10:48,360 --> 01:10:53,920
Speaker 1: finally and they just take their clothes off. I thought

1039
01:10:54,040 --> 01:10:56,320
Speaker 1: this was an origy they've been talking for two hours.

1040
01:10:56,680 --> 01:11:04,360
Speaker 1: This stage is normally dicks from left to right. Yeah, now, no,

1041
01:11:04,880 --> 01:11:11,000
Speaker 1: you don't. That's obscene. That is obscene. You throw packaged

1042
01:11:11,120 --> 01:11:19,200
Speaker 1: bagels like a decent Christian. Okay, all right, all right,

1043
01:11:19,360 --> 01:11:21,479
Speaker 1: these are the pumpkin spice ones. No, but how are

1044
01:11:21,479 --> 01:11:23,200
Speaker 1: you going to serve back if you don't have machette

1045
01:11:23,200 --> 01:11:25,400
Speaker 1: in your hand? What if I do it? Well, you're

1046
01:11:25,439 --> 01:11:29,559
Speaker 1: not gonna know. We've done this enough. I know what's

1047
01:11:29,560 --> 01:11:33,479
Speaker 1: gonna happen. Nobody's good at this game. No, this is

1048
01:11:33,560 --> 01:11:41,519
Speaker 1: not a crowd. Grab another, grab another, Okay, yeah, you

1049
01:11:41,600 --> 01:11:46,800
Speaker 1: can keep those. I don't want them. I don't like

1050
01:11:46,880 --> 01:11:49,759
Speaker 1: that pumpkin spie, don't. Okay, here we go, and Shannon,

1051
01:11:50,439 --> 01:11:55,320
Speaker 1: the way you throw it a little, it's not a picture.

1052
01:11:55,479 --> 01:12:02,839
Speaker 1: He's not a picture. There's equipment. Also, it looks sturdy.

1053
01:12:02,920 --> 01:12:06,000
Speaker 1: But you know stuff. Well, I mean, someone's got to

1054
01:12:06,080 --> 01:12:07,960
Speaker 1: be angry at me every time we do this and

1055
01:12:08,040 --> 01:12:11,519
Speaker 1: Sophie's not here. It's your job to be frustrated. It is,

1056
01:12:12,240 --> 01:12:16,040
Speaker 1: it comes naturally, a thank you? Thank you? Is that

1057
01:12:16,160 --> 01:12:19,640
Speaker 1: a stool? No, it's not. I don't know where the

1058
01:12:19,720 --> 01:12:22,680
Speaker 1: funk they went, dude, I don't know either, Like I

1059
01:12:22,800 --> 01:12:25,880
Speaker 1: don't think about where things are. There's a hole under there. Okay,

1060
01:12:25,960 --> 01:12:28,560
Speaker 1: thank you or hit them. You're a roadie that you

1061
01:12:28,600 --> 01:12:31,360
Speaker 1: came out of nowhere. That was awesome, all right. It's

1062
01:12:31,400 --> 01:12:35,080
Speaker 1: wearing a black shirt and he's just like he would

1063
01:12:35,080 --> 01:12:40,760
Speaker 1: do this, like what's a baseball guyey man? They can

1064
01:12:40,840 --> 01:12:43,920
Speaker 1: sako that's what You've done more drugs than him. That's

1065
01:12:43,920 --> 01:12:56,040
Speaker 1: a fit barely. Yes, that's cool. I gotta say that

1066
01:12:56,280 --> 01:12:59,160
Speaker 1: is by far the best that's ever Yeah, that was cool.

1067
01:13:00,840 --> 01:13:03,000
Speaker 1: You know, we've hit a lot of bagels on this pod.

1068
01:13:04,120 --> 01:13:06,639
Speaker 1: It's never worked. It's always like that has a let down.

1069
01:13:08,200 --> 01:13:09,960
Speaker 1: At that time, it was like we did it like

1070
01:13:10,200 --> 01:13:13,400
Speaker 1: like of the stick is that it's never very good,

1071
01:13:13,720 --> 01:13:15,920
Speaker 1: Like it's always a big bummer that we build up

1072
01:13:15,960 --> 01:13:18,760
Speaker 1: for hours. That was actually cool. That was cool. Yeah,

1073
01:13:19,760 --> 01:13:23,880
Speaker 1: glad that happened on the Life Show. I'll beat it

1074
01:13:23,920 --> 01:13:27,040
Speaker 1: didn't get recorded, no under, no way, no way, no way, no.

1075
01:13:27,439 --> 01:13:29,719
Speaker 1: This is a beautiful memory that no one else will share.

1076
01:13:31,880 --> 01:13:41,680
Speaker 1: So back to the Nazis. Well, the Kyoga Baton fundraiser

1077
01:13:41,880 --> 01:13:45,400
Speaker 1: is what first drew mainstream attention to Harold. The reality

1078
01:13:45,600 --> 01:13:47,839
Speaker 1: is that he was almost certainly funneling tens of thousands

1079
01:13:47,880 --> 01:13:50,240
Speaker 1: of dollars, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars if

1080
01:13:50,320 --> 01:13:53,840
Speaker 1: his Sea monkey profits into the Area Nations for years.

1081
01:13:54,320 --> 01:13:56,760
Speaker 1: This continued throughout the nineteen eighties and up until at

1082
01:13:56,840 --> 01:14:00,360
Speaker 1: least nineteen If you paid for sea monkeys or any

1083
01:14:00,360 --> 01:14:03,000
Speaker 1: Appareld's other inventions up to this point, you may have

1084
01:14:03,120 --> 01:14:08,040
Speaker 1: contributed to the growth of the Area Nations k groups.

1085
01:14:08,120 --> 01:14:10,719
Speaker 1: You might have bought those twelve dollars of clan guns.

1086
01:14:11,040 --> 01:14:14,000
Speaker 1: There's no way to know. Isn't the world awesome? It's great?

1087
01:14:15,040 --> 01:14:19,559
Speaker 1: Nobody would have guessed that if everyone's thinking of it. Yeah, well,

1088
01:14:19,720 --> 01:14:22,519
Speaker 1: yeah exactly, But that you guess. You guess that you're like, oh, yeah,

1089
01:14:22,520 --> 01:14:24,599
Speaker 1: I'm paying for bombs to be dropped on random people.

1090
01:14:24,840 --> 01:14:26,599
Speaker 1: You never guess the money I spent on those sea

1091
01:14:26,680 --> 01:14:32,880
Speaker 1: monkeys bought Nazi machine guns like that. Nobody calls that ship. Yeah,

1092
01:14:34,800 --> 01:14:43,519
Speaker 1: where where'd you get that toy? Oh that's not h

1093
01:14:44,800 --> 01:14:47,160
Speaker 1: on the woods. Somewhere there's some hippie guy who was

1094
01:14:47,240 --> 01:14:49,240
Speaker 1: just like all on buying his X ray specs and

1095
01:14:49,320 --> 01:14:52,160
Speaker 1: sea monkeys. And that's gonna keep me pure, poor son

1096
01:14:52,240 --> 01:14:58,519
Speaker 1: of a bitch. Now, tell me two things. I really

1097
01:14:58,600 --> 01:15:08,120
Speaker 1: believe it in this world now. When Richard Butler, head

1098
01:15:08,160 --> 01:15:10,280
Speaker 1: of the Aryan Nations, was questioned about one of his

1099
01:15:10,400 --> 01:15:14,200
Speaker 1: major backers being potentially Jewish and thus a direct descendant

1100
01:15:14,280 --> 01:15:19,559
Speaker 1: of the devil according to his theology, we have a question,

1101
01:15:21,680 --> 01:15:29,800
Speaker 1: Mr Butler, how do you feel inside? M hm. He

1102
01:15:30,040 --> 01:15:33,800
Speaker 1: cited von Brown Hud as a close friend and a

1103
01:15:33,920 --> 01:15:36,920
Speaker 1: member of the Aryan race who has supported us quite

1104
01:15:36,920 --> 01:15:42,280
Speaker 1: a few years. So that's interesting. Yeah, And then he

1105
01:15:42,360 --> 01:15:45,280
Speaker 1: said something dumb like some something crazy like and if

1106
01:15:45,320 --> 01:15:49,679
Speaker 1: he was Jewish, I could have smelled it. We we've

1107
01:15:49,760 --> 01:15:53,000
Speaker 1: basically wind up there at the end. That's what it's always, Yeah,

1108
01:15:53,040 --> 01:15:55,559
Speaker 1: where it's always something like I could see his horns

1109
01:15:55,680 --> 01:15:58,679
Speaker 1: if you know, you're just like what the lesson here

1110
01:15:59,120 --> 01:16:00,960
Speaker 1: is that you can't and kind of buy your way

1111
01:16:00,960 --> 01:16:04,719
Speaker 1: into be in a Nazi. Yeah, yeah, it works. Apparently

1112
01:16:04,840 --> 01:16:07,320
Speaker 1: it's not good people. They're not they're not they're not

1113
01:16:07,520 --> 01:16:10,960
Speaker 1: ideologically consistent people. They're not as the rest as you

1114
01:16:11,040 --> 01:16:14,120
Speaker 1: would have them as they would have you believe. So

1115
01:16:14,200 --> 01:16:15,840
Speaker 1: I guess say what you will about the tenants of

1116
01:16:15,920 --> 01:16:19,479
Speaker 1: national socialism. It's not always an ethos like when enough

1117
01:16:19,560 --> 01:16:22,640
Speaker 1: money comes on at the table people. Yeah, it's just

1118
01:16:22,720 --> 01:16:28,400
Speaker 1: more I just want to hit stuff. So now, in

1119
01:16:28,520 --> 01:16:31,400
Speaker 1: that article on Harold bon broun Hud, The Washington Post

1120
01:16:31,479 --> 01:16:33,479
Speaker 1: pointed out that he was far from the only Jewish

1121
01:16:33,520 --> 01:16:36,880
Speaker 1: Man to ever go full Nazi quote. In nineteen sixty five,

1122
01:16:36,920 --> 01:16:38,920
Speaker 1: The New York Times tough. It was a tough spot

1123
01:16:39,040 --> 01:16:41,000
Speaker 1: to be in. It's a rough one, man, It's a

1124
01:16:41,120 --> 01:16:47,160
Speaker 1: tough like hear me out. I think first this has

1125
01:16:47,200 --> 01:16:49,760
Speaker 1: been going on. You're like, you don't want to be

1126
01:16:49,840 --> 01:16:53,639
Speaker 1: in that position. I don't think. In nineteen sixty five,

1127
01:16:53,680 --> 01:16:56,719
Speaker 1: The New York Times disclosed the Jewish identity of Daniel Burrows,

1128
01:16:56,800 --> 01:16:59,760
Speaker 1: a high ranking klansman and former American Nazi Party member

1129
01:16:59,800 --> 01:17:03,639
Speaker 1: who then shot himself to death. In nineteen Chicago, Nazis

1130
01:17:03,720 --> 01:17:06,000
Speaker 1: rallied into the leadership of Frank Collin, the son of

1131
01:17:06,040 --> 01:17:09,760
Speaker 1: a Jewish concentration camp survivor. His family name had been coned.

1132
01:17:09,800 --> 01:17:12,200
Speaker 1: I know, fucking wild, right, Like, what do you even

1133
01:17:12,240 --> 01:17:14,600
Speaker 1: say to that ship? It's fucking crazy. Yeah, but my

1134
01:17:14,760 --> 01:17:21,000
Speaker 1: dad sometimes I had to be home at ten thirty

1135
01:17:21,080 --> 01:17:27,280
Speaker 1: and I was like, I rebailed. Now, it's probably worth

1136
01:17:30,040 --> 01:17:33,800
Speaker 1: probably worth noting to him or something. You took it

1137
01:17:34,040 --> 01:17:41,639
Speaker 1: so far, dude. It's worth mentioning that Miloonopolis, a prominent

1138
01:17:41,720 --> 01:17:45,080
Speaker 1: fascist who is a lengthy documented history of conspiring with

1139
01:17:45,240 --> 01:17:49,280
Speaker 1: neo Nazis to push propaganda, often defends himself from allegations

1140
01:17:49,400 --> 01:17:51,720
Speaker 1: of being a Nazi by pointing out that he is

1141
01:17:51,760 --> 01:17:55,000
Speaker 1: gay and Jewish, and as confusing as this seems, neither

1142
01:17:55,080 --> 01:17:59,040
Speaker 1: of those factors precludes one from being a Nazi. Anyone

1143
01:17:59,160 --> 01:18:01,640
Speaker 1: can be a Nazi. That's the beauty. Beauty is the

1144
01:18:01,720 --> 01:18:06,320
Speaker 1: wrong word, but that's Nazism. You just have to have

1145
01:18:06,520 --> 01:18:08,800
Speaker 1: Nazi in your heart. You got it in your heart? Yeah?

1146
01:18:10,240 --> 01:18:14,720
Speaker 1: Are you hateful for no reason? Are you up in

1147
01:18:14,760 --> 01:18:17,559
Speaker 1: the morning? Right? There's a lot of hate in here.

1148
01:18:18,720 --> 01:18:22,160
Speaker 1: We gotta we gotta spot for you. Are you piste

1149
01:18:22,200 --> 01:18:26,960
Speaker 1: and like flags? We got a thing for you to

1150
01:18:27,080 --> 01:18:35,160
Speaker 1: be Come on down to the market now, uh In.

1151
01:18:36,280 --> 01:18:38,920
Speaker 1: Harold von Brownhood became ordained on the advice of a

1152
01:18:39,000 --> 01:18:42,840
Speaker 1: friend what he called a small, ancient church without a

1153
01:18:42,920 --> 01:18:48,840
Speaker 1: local congregation. He described himself as a priest at large. Yeah, yeah,

1154
01:18:49,200 --> 01:18:54,559
Speaker 1: there's a lot of those still just that large right now.

1155
01:18:54,960 --> 01:18:56,920
Speaker 1: I don't know what kind of church this was. I'm

1156
01:18:56,920 --> 01:18:59,640
Speaker 1: guessing either some weird Christian identity congregation and would be

1157
01:18:59,680 --> 01:19:02,800
Speaker 1: like some you're like ancient Tagan thing like it's hard

1158
01:19:02,880 --> 01:19:06,240
Speaker 1: to say ancient, right, ancient. It's like they found a

1159
01:19:06,320 --> 01:19:08,599
Speaker 1: building in the woods, right, this was an ancient church.

1160
01:19:08,760 --> 01:19:15,000
Speaker 1: And he's like, and I am the preacher here. What

1161
01:19:15,160 --> 01:19:17,439
Speaker 1: we do know for sure is that years before the

1162
01:19:17,520 --> 01:19:20,479
Speaker 1: Washington Post article, the Anti Defamation League had cut wind

1163
01:19:20,520 --> 01:19:23,960
Speaker 1: of rumors about von Brownhot's Jewish ancestry. It had been

1164
01:19:24,000 --> 01:19:26,760
Speaker 1: a topic of discussion and suspicion among the far right,

1165
01:19:26,960 --> 01:19:31,160
Speaker 1: largely due to his prominent nose. But according that's the

1166
01:19:31,280 --> 01:19:37,320
Speaker 1: Nazis talking, that's the Nazis talking, Robert. According to a

1167
01:19:37,439 --> 01:19:40,040
Speaker 1: representative of the a d L, they felt he was

1168
01:19:40,120 --> 01:19:43,880
Speaker 1: a solid, dependable extreme right winger, regardless that he was

1169
01:19:44,000 --> 01:19:46,800
Speaker 1: one of them, and can be trusted because all the

1170
01:19:46,960 --> 01:19:49,599
Speaker 1: all the money's well, he gives us money, he gives

1171
01:19:49,680 --> 01:19:52,920
Speaker 1: us money, We need guns. None of us can work

1172
01:19:53,040 --> 01:20:02,240
Speaker 1: jobs because he says the families. But I have a

1173
01:20:02,320 --> 01:20:07,640
Speaker 1: feeling it's all the fai swastikas is what's getting this

1174
01:20:07,800 --> 01:20:12,680
Speaker 1: not hard. Now, it does seem to be true that

1175
01:20:13,400 --> 01:20:17,160
Speaker 1: whatever his ancestry, Harold von Brownhood was a committed Nazi,

1176
01:20:17,280 --> 01:20:20,240
Speaker 1: as committed a Nazi, as any whoever goose stepped across

1177
01:20:20,280 --> 01:20:23,200
Speaker 1: the pages of history. And he had continued to attend

1178
01:20:23,400 --> 01:20:26,320
Speaker 1: the Area Nations gatherings on at least a yearly basis

1179
01:20:26,360 --> 01:20:29,080
Speaker 1: throughout the nineteen eighties and into the nineteen nineties. He

1180
01:20:29,240 --> 01:20:32,639
Speaker 1: was a featured speaker on several occasions. More than once

1181
01:20:32,960 --> 01:20:35,800
Speaker 1: the inventor of sea monkeys lit the burning cross that

1182
01:20:35,920 --> 01:20:43,639
Speaker 1: signified the height of festivities. Floyd Cochrane, an Area Nation

1183
01:20:43,720 --> 01:20:46,759
Speaker 1: spokesman until he reformed in the yearly nineties, described Brownhood

1184
01:20:46,760 --> 01:20:49,320
Speaker 1: as having He said he had a big nose um

1185
01:20:49,680 --> 01:20:51,880
Speaker 1: and that he gives and that this is the fun part.

1186
01:20:52,120 --> 01:20:55,240
Speaker 1: He'd give long speeches about numerology, and he'd make references

1187
01:20:55,280 --> 01:20:58,320
Speaker 1: to the Pyramids. It just didn't play very well. So

1188
01:20:58,400 --> 01:21:00,560
Speaker 1: it was not his personality that made him popular with

1189
01:21:00,600 --> 01:21:07,840
Speaker 1: the Nazis. He's weird. The woods people are like, I go,

1190
01:21:08,160 --> 01:21:10,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, he was from Memphis. He gave

1191
01:21:10,240 --> 01:21:14,240
Speaker 1: his money, but he's always talking about like thirty three

1192
01:21:14,400 --> 01:21:17,200
Speaker 1: Have you seen that? Have you seen that? Jim Carrey?

1193
01:21:17,280 --> 01:21:24,400
Speaker 1: Maybe now. Harold also started a racist think tank, the

1194
01:21:24,560 --> 01:21:28,040
Speaker 1: National Anti Zionist Institute, that's just it sounds like an

1195
01:21:28,080 --> 01:21:31,320
Speaker 1: oxy moron. It does. It's like a racist think tank.

1196
01:21:31,360 --> 01:21:35,720
Speaker 1: What do you think, Hey, yeah, thinking mad? Right now,

1197
01:21:35,800 --> 01:21:38,760
Speaker 1: that's what I'm thinking. You won't get him, That's what

1198
01:21:38,840 --> 01:21:43,400
Speaker 1: I'm thinking. Get him. So he he started the National

1199
01:21:43,479 --> 01:21:46,519
Speaker 1: Anti Zionist Institute in the late nineteen eighties. There he

1200
01:21:46,640 --> 01:21:50,400
Speaker 1: authored a regular newsletter under the pseudonym Hendrick von Brown,

1201
01:21:50,520 --> 01:21:54,080
Speaker 1: which was barely a pseudonym, like, not not even really

1202
01:21:54,160 --> 01:21:56,920
Speaker 1: a pseudonym. It's like me calling myself Rob Evans and

1203
01:21:57,040 --> 01:22:03,360
Speaker 1: like being like nobody's gonna fucking put this caper together. Yeah,

1204
01:22:08,600 --> 01:22:12,800
Speaker 1: there's so many machetes here, and you call me the

1205
01:22:12,920 --> 01:22:16,880
Speaker 1: Biden name is my arm my eyes filled with blood

1206
01:22:18,800 --> 01:22:21,240
Speaker 1: because my dentures are in I can feel that part.

1207
01:22:23,520 --> 01:22:26,240
Speaker 1: Now I'm gonna quote the Washington Post again writing about

1208
01:22:26,400 --> 01:22:30,439
Speaker 1: Hendrick van Brown, great pseudon um. In the world of

1209
01:22:30,520 --> 01:22:33,280
Speaker 1: jewels and precious metals, only that which is pure, rare,

1210
01:22:33,360 --> 01:22:36,519
Speaker 1: and unalloyed is of the highest value. Begins a newsletter

1211
01:22:36,640 --> 01:22:40,360
Speaker 1: dated nineteen For a full two pages, readers are urged

1212
01:22:40,400 --> 01:22:43,160
Speaker 1: to unite against wogs and mud people, even if that

1213
01:22:43,280 --> 01:22:46,519
Speaker 1: means giving up their own lives. No one except Jesus

1214
01:22:46,600 --> 01:22:49,719
Speaker 1: Christ himself has ever managed to live forever. Von Brown writes,

1215
01:22:50,000 --> 01:22:51,840
Speaker 1: even if you could, what a board it would be

1216
01:22:51,920 --> 01:22:54,120
Speaker 1: to hang around for a few hundred years not doing

1217
01:22:54,280 --> 01:22:58,680
Speaker 1: much of anything except watching the racial um make it

1218
01:22:58,840 --> 01:23:02,320
Speaker 1: make basketballs and sneakers out of Racial's there for Jewish

1219
01:23:02,360 --> 01:23:06,559
Speaker 1: people's skins. Now it's to be super fucking racist. It's

1220
01:23:06,600 --> 01:23:09,960
Speaker 1: the sea monkeys guy. He's amped it up. Yeah, he's

1221
01:23:09,960 --> 01:23:14,360
Speaker 1: amped up the he's amped it up. The address, the

1222
01:23:14,520 --> 01:23:18,160
Speaker 1: address for this newsletter was PO box eight o nine

1223
01:23:18,240 --> 01:23:21,080
Speaker 1: Brian's Road, Maryland. And if any of you sent off

1224
01:23:21,160 --> 01:23:24,479
Speaker 1: for sea monkeys, that's the same address you melt your

1225
01:23:24,520 --> 01:23:31,680
Speaker 1: money too. Hey, you don't say you don't keep a

1226
01:23:31,760 --> 01:23:37,880
Speaker 1: bunch of money opening a bunch of po boxes everywhere. No,

1227
01:23:38,240 --> 01:23:40,800
Speaker 1: you you pick one, You pick one, and you keep

1228
01:23:40,880 --> 01:23:53,040
Speaker 1: it for the Nazi stuff and the liar shrimp. So

1229
01:23:53,200 --> 01:23:58,920
Speaker 1: at this point you were getting confused. I said that

1230
01:23:59,080 --> 01:24:10,639
Speaker 1: kid a Swasti flag. Oh god, if some kid had

1231
01:24:10,720 --> 01:24:12,920
Speaker 1: just ordered it himself and his dad got it and

1232
01:24:12,960 --> 01:24:15,400
Speaker 1: it's addressed to him, son, did you buy a luker?

1233
01:24:15,760 --> 01:24:23,160
Speaker 1: Did you did you buy a swaston the flag? Put

1234
01:24:23,160 --> 01:24:25,200
Speaker 1: it in water. It's supposed to turn into a monkey day.

1235
01:24:31,920 --> 01:24:35,160
Speaker 1: Holy shit, it's amazing. This is the world we all

1236
01:24:35,240 --> 01:24:39,559
Speaker 1: live in, all of us. It's crazy. Now at this point,

1237
01:24:39,760 --> 01:24:42,000
Speaker 1: I wonder what some of you are wondering. At least,

1238
01:24:42,400 --> 01:24:45,880
Speaker 1: did being exposed as a Nazi harm Harald's career as

1239
01:24:45,920 --> 01:24:52,160
Speaker 1: a toy salesman in any way? The answer is slightly,

1240
01:24:53,720 --> 01:24:55,800
Speaker 1: but not all that much. Not as much as you

1241
01:24:56,120 --> 01:24:59,799
Speaker 1: not as much as you'd think for buying arms for terrorists.

1242
01:25:01,200 --> 01:25:05,080
Speaker 1: In Von Brownhood sold the marketing rights to See Monkeys

1243
01:25:05,160 --> 01:25:11,200
Speaker 1: to a new company, Basic fun isis by the way,

1244
01:25:11,640 --> 01:25:14,960
Speaker 1: that's that's the hobby Lobby podcast, and that's gonna be

1245
01:25:15,080 --> 01:25:26,240
Speaker 1: a good one too. So the president of Basic Fund,

1246
01:25:26,400 --> 01:25:30,600
Speaker 1: Alan Dorfman, questioned Von Brownhood about the rumors of his

1247
01:25:30,760 --> 01:25:34,120
Speaker 1: Nazi past. Harold assured him these were all lies, made

1248
01:25:34,200 --> 01:25:36,360
Speaker 1: up by a neighbor with whom he was fighting a

1249
01:25:36,479 --> 01:25:43,920
Speaker 1: property dispute. God, he's great. I mean, he's a terrible

1250
01:25:44,000 --> 01:25:46,519
Speaker 1: human ban obviously, but also like some of his lives

1251
01:25:46,560 --> 01:25:49,120
Speaker 1: are pretty fun. We're just we're just fighting over but

1252
01:25:49,240 --> 01:25:53,280
Speaker 1: that's funny, lie, Like, like, look there's an apple tree

1253
01:25:53,320 --> 01:25:56,519
Speaker 1: we're fighting over. So he told a bunch of neo Nazis.

1254
01:25:56,560 --> 01:26:02,799
Speaker 1: I was as you and I was like, dude, n cool,

1255
01:26:05,720 --> 01:26:10,200
Speaker 1: but we're letting a judge just out about luxury. Shortly

1256
01:26:10,280 --> 01:26:13,559
Speaker 1: after the sale of Sea Monkeys to Basic Fun, Harold

1257
01:26:13,600 --> 01:26:17,120
Speaker 1: attended the July nineteen nine five Arean Nations Congress as

1258
01:26:17,160 --> 01:26:20,240
Speaker 1: a featured speaker. He went on stage right after Richard

1259
01:26:20,320 --> 01:26:24,440
Speaker 1: Butler called Jewish people the bacillus of decomposition in our society.

1260
01:26:24,880 --> 01:26:29,240
Speaker 1: Also speaking that day was Louis Beam, a KKK leader,

1261
01:26:29,320 --> 01:26:31,560
Speaker 1: the inventor of the term leaderless resistance in one of

1262
01:26:31,600 --> 01:26:34,120
Speaker 1: the top minds behind white supremacist terrorism in the last

1263
01:26:34,160 --> 01:26:39,120
Speaker 1: half century. Piece of ship. That's what top minds of

1264
01:26:39,439 --> 01:26:45,000
Speaker 1: Aryan Nation means. Yeah. Catcha Lane was in attendance as well.

1265
01:26:45,160 --> 01:26:48,160
Speaker 1: She's the wife of jailed Order member David Lane, the

1266
01:26:48,200 --> 01:26:51,080
Speaker 1: man who coined the fourteen words, which you'll see tattooed

1267
01:26:51,120 --> 01:26:53,240
Speaker 1: on some hands if you wind up at a protest

1268
01:26:53,280 --> 01:26:59,200
Speaker 1: in this town. Um, there you go. Why does it?

1269
01:26:59,439 --> 01:27:02,719
Speaker 1: Why does it it? Why didn't Fred Armison do sketches

1270
01:27:02,800 --> 01:27:11,200
Speaker 1: about that part? They missed that aspect though Portland's adorable

1271
01:27:11,280 --> 01:27:15,120
Speaker 1: like some of it. Yeah, they could have. They could

1272
01:27:15,160 --> 01:27:16,960
Speaker 1: have added that to the put a bird on it sketch,

1273
01:27:17,040 --> 01:27:31,599
Speaker 1: But it's one of those Nazi evils on a guy's back. Yeah,

1274
01:27:32,600 --> 01:27:37,200
Speaker 1: just like I have the Natal three at the skills.

1275
01:27:37,240 --> 01:27:41,720
Speaker 1: I'm in the coal now. Dorfman found out about this

1276
01:27:42,240 --> 01:27:45,200
Speaker 1: his visit to the Area Nations, and being Jewish himself,

1277
01:27:45,320 --> 01:27:49,200
Speaker 1: Dorfman immediately ended the professional relationship between Von Brownhook and

1278
01:27:49,320 --> 01:27:52,400
Speaker 1: Basic Fund. But this was not the end of Sea Monkeys.

1279
01:27:52,720 --> 01:27:54,680
Speaker 1: A new generation of parents who had grown up with

1280
01:27:54,720 --> 01:27:57,639
Speaker 1: Sea Monkey kids in the seventies we're now raising young children.

1281
01:27:57,920 --> 01:28:00,719
Speaker 1: There was money to be made in rebranding a living animal,

1282
01:28:00,800 --> 01:28:04,760
Speaker 1: mail ordered toy sensation and cashing in on nostalgia. Before long,

1283
01:28:05,040 --> 01:28:07,960
Speaker 1: Harold found another company to market his monkeys, one that

1284
01:28:08,080 --> 01:28:12,080
Speaker 1: did not care about his Nazi past and present. In November,

1285
01:28:13,040 --> 01:28:16,720
Speaker 1: he signed a new contract with Educational Insights. Their plan

1286
01:28:17,120 --> 01:28:19,479
Speaker 1: was to rebrand Sea Monkeys to capture the attention of

1287
01:28:19,640 --> 01:28:23,840
Speaker 1: nineties kids. Rather than portraying them as chubby champanzee looking secrets,

1288
01:28:24,000 --> 01:28:28,440
Speaker 1: Educational Insights hired illustrators to draw muscular, superhero looking sonkeys

1289
01:28:28,920 --> 01:28:31,439
Speaker 1: that could appeal to the extreme kids of the mid

1290
01:28:31,560 --> 01:28:40,400
Speaker 1: ninety nineties. Monkeys, Fuck, they're not starting families, They're just fucking,

1291
01:28:41,920 --> 01:28:51,360
Speaker 1: but they only funk within their race. That'sys. Now. The

1292
01:28:51,400 --> 01:28:54,559
Speaker 1: most significant change was that sea monkeys would no longer

1293
01:28:54,640 --> 01:28:58,160
Speaker 1: be illustrated as naked. As one company executive told the

1294
01:28:58,360 --> 01:29:01,639
Speaker 1: l A Times, I'm fun you gotta hear this. Having

1295
01:29:01,720 --> 01:29:04,200
Speaker 1: been involved in the marketing to kids, you don't want

1296
01:29:04,240 --> 01:29:10,519
Speaker 1: to introduce that as an area of controversy. Well, if

1297
01:29:10,560 --> 01:29:14,600
Speaker 1: you have Nazism but not nudism, but don't show them penises,

1298
01:29:14,680 --> 01:29:19,000
Speaker 1: don't show them penises. They have those. They only need

1299
01:29:19,080 --> 01:29:22,880
Speaker 1: to see him always buying arms for the clan. Well,

1300
01:29:22,920 --> 01:29:26,080
Speaker 1: that's his private business. But if there's a nipple on

1301
01:29:26,240 --> 01:29:32,320
Speaker 1: one of those fake monkeys, it really is America and

1302
01:29:32,360 --> 01:29:40,559
Speaker 1: a goddamn nutshell. He's like, hey, hey, move that naked

1303
01:29:40,680 --> 01:29:42,559
Speaker 1: lady and get him a gun. Give him a gun.

1304
01:29:43,360 --> 01:29:45,720
Speaker 1: Put a swastika right on that peck tour right over

1305
01:29:45,800 --> 01:29:52,840
Speaker 1: the nipple. Now, one month after inking a deal with

1306
01:29:53,000 --> 01:29:57,320
Speaker 1: Educational Insights, Harold von Brownhood officiated the funeral of Betty Butler,

1307
01:29:57,600 --> 01:30:00,880
Speaker 1: Richard Butler's wife. A reporter with a Los Angeles Times

1308
01:30:00,920 --> 01:30:03,599
Speaker 1: actually spent a significant amount of time digging into this story,

1309
01:30:03,640 --> 01:30:06,280
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna quote from him now. The specter of

1310
01:30:06,360 --> 01:30:09,680
Speaker 1: sea monkey dollars funding hate groups is to be less controversial.

1311
01:30:09,960 --> 01:30:12,599
Speaker 1: When I approached this topic with Fine and Atamian, two

1312
01:30:12,640 --> 01:30:15,679
Speaker 1: of the guys who worked at Educational Insights, Atamian confirms

1313
01:30:15,720 --> 01:30:18,360
Speaker 1: that all the higher ups that Educational Insights know about

1314
01:30:18,479 --> 01:30:21,200
Speaker 1: bon Brownhood's past. He says that everyone in the toy

1315
01:30:21,240 --> 01:30:23,920
Speaker 1: industry knows about him. The people had sent them the articles,

1316
01:30:24,000 --> 01:30:26,639
Speaker 1: but that the sea monkeys shouldn't be tainted by their inventor.

1317
01:30:27,240 --> 01:30:29,240
Speaker 1: Is this any different from the U. S. Government having

1318
01:30:29,320 --> 01:30:32,280
Speaker 1: normal relations with Germany three four or five six years

1319
01:30:32,320 --> 01:30:38,479
Speaker 1: after World Wards? It's really different. Kill those guys and

1320
01:30:38,560 --> 01:30:41,719
Speaker 1: then they said, hey, we're not you can't do that anymore,

1321
01:30:42,160 --> 01:30:44,320
Speaker 1: and that were like and then we were like, okay, cool,

1322
01:30:44,400 --> 01:30:47,200
Speaker 1: that's cool that you guys realized that was bad. I

1323
01:30:47,280 --> 01:30:50,000
Speaker 1: hate to say, hey, you guys have some guys in

1324
01:30:50,240 --> 01:30:59,000
Speaker 1: your country. They're doing what the quote goes on. We're

1325
01:30:59,080 --> 01:31:01,680
Speaker 1: doing business with him on a business basis with a

1326
01:31:01,720 --> 01:31:04,840
Speaker 1: wonderful product called sea monkeys, and we don't see where

1327
01:31:04,880 --> 01:31:08,679
Speaker 1: it's relevant. I've never seen evidence of his alleged past behavior,

1328
01:31:09,320 --> 01:31:12,280
Speaker 1: says Fine. This has absolutely nothing to do with Harold

1329
01:31:12,320 --> 01:31:14,240
Speaker 1: as a person. It's more to do with who sea

1330
01:31:14,280 --> 01:31:16,560
Speaker 1: monkeys are and what they can mean in terms of

1331
01:31:16,680 --> 01:31:19,519
Speaker 1: fun and fantasy for kids and adults of all ages.

1332
01:31:20,640 --> 01:31:23,960
Speaker 1: So I'm just talking to a sociopath, okay. Another member

1333
01:31:24,000 --> 01:31:28,360
Speaker 1: of the Educational Insights team agreed, what's great? Do you

1334
01:31:28,479 --> 01:31:34,320
Speaker 1: listen to Wagner? The Israelis wouldn't listen to his music

1335
01:31:34,400 --> 01:31:46,439
Speaker 1: for all those years, but now they do. If you're yeah,

1336
01:31:46,800 --> 01:31:49,880
Speaker 1: if your response to a question about funding Nazi hate

1337
01:31:49,880 --> 01:31:54,439
Speaker 1: groups starts with do you listen to Wagner, you're going

1338
01:31:54,520 --> 01:32:01,920
Speaker 1: in the wrong direction. Hear me out, now, that's all

1339
01:32:01,960 --> 01:32:07,200
Speaker 1: I got. The article I just quoted from was written

1340
01:32:07,240 --> 01:32:09,439
Speaker 1: in two thousand. For most of the rest of his life,

1341
01:32:09,760 --> 01:32:15,439
Speaker 1: Harold would two thousand this come on, yeah, for the

1342
01:32:15,520 --> 01:32:18,320
Speaker 1: most of the rest of his life, and he's here

1343
01:32:18,360 --> 01:32:27,439
Speaker 1: tonight bringing him out. He's like you got now, they're

1344
01:32:27,439 --> 01:32:30,519
Speaker 1: only each and there is a truck full of clansman

1345
01:32:30,520 --> 01:32:41,960
Speaker 1: who need guns, so please give generous sad clowns now.

1346
01:32:42,479 --> 01:32:45,040
Speaker 1: For the rest of his life after the two thousand

1347
01:32:45,080 --> 01:32:47,760
Speaker 1: or after two thousand, Harold von Brownhood would clam up

1348
01:32:47,760 --> 01:32:50,440
Speaker 1: and refuse to answer when pressed about his Nazi connections

1349
01:32:50,479 --> 01:32:53,479
Speaker 1: and the undefined put significant amount of money he poured

1350
01:32:53,520 --> 01:32:57,720
Speaker 1: into funding American fascism. He told the La Times, I

1351
01:32:57,800 --> 01:33:00,240
Speaker 1: don't have to defend myself to you or anyone else.

1352
01:33:00,479 --> 01:33:04,120
Speaker 1: I'm hanging up. In an earlier interview with the Seattle Times,

1353
01:33:04,240 --> 01:33:06,439
Speaker 1: we don't have to tail poop. You're hanging up. You

1354
01:33:06,479 --> 01:33:07,920
Speaker 1: can just you can just do it. Just do it.

1355
01:33:08,040 --> 01:33:12,200
Speaker 1: They got it. In an earlier interview with the Seattle Times,

1356
01:33:12,360 --> 01:33:15,040
Speaker 1: he gave a longer answer. I love the United States,

1357
01:33:15,320 --> 01:33:19,360
Speaker 1: I support the Constitution. I'm a very viable individual. I'm

1358
01:33:19,479 --> 01:33:26,880
Speaker 1: not sinister at all. That's fucking awesome. You're in a

1359
01:33:26,960 --> 01:33:28,760
Speaker 1: good spot in your life. When you're like, I'm not

1360
01:33:29,000 --> 01:33:37,080
Speaker 1: sinister at all. You're like, yeah, what did you do nothing?

1361
01:33:38,240 --> 01:33:43,320
Speaker 1: I'm hanging up now. I mean, we're all laughing at that.

1362
01:33:43,360 --> 01:33:46,160
Speaker 1: But our president ended a letter yesterday with I'll call

1363
01:33:46,240 --> 01:33:52,400
Speaker 1: you later. I'll call you later. What that motherfucker's saying.

1364
01:33:52,720 --> 01:33:55,360
Speaker 1: What's what's wild is that in three d years, when

1365
01:33:55,479 --> 01:33:57,960
Speaker 1: kids are like reading the condensed textbooks of this period,

1366
01:33:58,000 --> 01:34:02,800
Speaker 1: which will still suck like textbooks today, there oranges and

1367
01:34:03,120 --> 01:34:06,680
Speaker 1: we took a bad term, they're gonna read about that

1368
01:34:06,880 --> 01:34:10,360
Speaker 1: letter three paragraphs down from they read about Congress talking

1369
01:34:10,400 --> 01:34:14,080
Speaker 1: about boofing, like that's gonna be the same fucking page,

1370
01:34:14,560 --> 01:34:18,040
Speaker 1: like fucking wild and at the end it'll it'll just

1371
01:34:18,200 --> 01:34:23,439
Speaker 1: say and putin died of laughing, And then the teacher

1372
01:34:23,439 --> 01:34:25,240
Speaker 1: will they put up your books. It's time to boof

1373
01:34:25,280 --> 01:34:34,400
Speaker 1: again now. Harold von Brownhood spent his last year's running

1374
01:34:34,400 --> 01:34:37,479
Speaker 1: a wildlife conservatory on his own land in Maryland. He

1375
01:34:37,560 --> 01:34:40,120
Speaker 1: had a great love of animals, and reporters who visited

1376
01:34:40,200 --> 01:34:42,759
Speaker 1: him during this time reported that he was very Albano

1377
01:34:42,840 --> 01:34:47,880
Speaker 1: ones though yeah, very specifically. He just like white tigers

1378
01:34:48,080 --> 01:34:52,360
Speaker 1: and white squirrels. He liked cats, but not most of them.

1379
01:34:59,560 --> 01:35:02,080
Speaker 1: Report Ers who visited him during this time reported that

1380
01:35:02,200 --> 01:35:04,120
Speaker 1: he was very careful to make sure he did not

1381
01:35:04,280 --> 01:35:06,600
Speaker 1: feed his geese any bread that might contain mold. He

1382
01:35:06,880 --> 01:35:11,080
Speaker 1: really cared. He's a nice guy. When The Maryland Independent

1383
01:35:11,160 --> 01:35:13,280
Speaker 1: interviewed him and asked about his past, he told them,

1384
01:35:13,520 --> 01:35:15,920
Speaker 1: I'm not burning any crosses on my front lawn. I'm

1385
01:35:15,960 --> 01:35:18,960
Speaker 1: not holding any secret Black eagle meetings or racial meetings

1386
01:35:19,080 --> 01:35:23,240
Speaker 1: or kkk rallies. I'm not bringing any ideology to the area.

1387
01:35:23,600 --> 01:35:25,519
Speaker 1: That's fine, that's okay. I want to move on. We

1388
01:35:25,560 --> 01:35:27,559
Speaker 1: all want to move on. I have stuff I want

1389
01:35:27,600 --> 01:35:30,360
Speaker 1: to move on from. Let's move on from that now.

1390
01:35:31,880 --> 01:35:34,920
Speaker 1: Harold's last bout of public activism was an opposing the

1391
01:35:35,000 --> 01:35:37,920
Speaker 1: Riviera Development Project, which was a project to develop a

1392
01:35:38,040 --> 01:35:41,439
Speaker 1: riviera near him, obviously I assume, on the grounds that

1393
01:35:41,479 --> 01:35:44,040
Speaker 1: it would harm wildlife and the natural environment and his

1394
01:35:44,120 --> 01:35:48,040
Speaker 1: adopted home. He became the committee spokesman of SWARD, which

1395
01:35:48,120 --> 01:35:52,200
Speaker 1: is an acronym that stands for Save Wildlife Opposed Riviera Development.

1396
01:35:52,520 --> 01:35:56,559
Speaker 1: Not a bad Acronyma, you gotta give They did fine,

1397
01:35:56,640 --> 01:35:58,960
Speaker 1: It's fine. He's good with words. Yeah, he's good with words.

1398
01:35:59,040 --> 01:36:03,200
Speaker 1: He sold those sea monkey Yeah, instant life. Now, even

1399
01:36:03,240 --> 01:36:07,080
Speaker 1: in this ostensibly decent endeavor, he found ways to inject racism,

1400
01:36:07,360 --> 01:36:11,040
Speaker 1: peppering local newspaper ads for sword with references to the

1401
01:36:11,240 --> 01:36:19,400
Speaker 1: Judas Coat business experts responsible for the project subtle, yeah, subtle, subtle,

1402
01:36:19,640 --> 01:36:22,639
Speaker 1: and asking his neighbors to join our struggle for God

1403
01:36:22,880 --> 01:36:28,960
Speaker 1: country in our American heritage of self determination. Yeah nice. Now.

1404
01:36:29,360 --> 01:36:33,040
Speaker 1: I found a fun article at the end of researching

1405
01:36:33,120 --> 01:36:35,880
Speaker 1: this on a little website called National van Guard, which

1406
01:36:35,880 --> 01:36:37,879
Speaker 1: do do I need to say? It's a Nazi website.

1407
01:36:38,080 --> 01:36:40,559
Speaker 1: It's a it's a fucking nazi website. I thought they

1408
01:36:40,680 --> 01:36:49,320
Speaker 1: reviewed independent music. What do you what do you listen to? Billy? Okay,

1409
01:36:49,439 --> 01:36:53,280
Speaker 1: there's a sad story to this. I opened for Sturgill

1410
01:36:53,320 --> 01:36:55,840
Speaker 1: Simpson a couple of years ago, and we went through Spokane,

1411
01:36:56,160 --> 01:37:03,760
Speaker 1: and uh about I didn't know, and I do this.

1412
01:37:04,280 --> 01:37:06,040
Speaker 1: I lived in Seattle for six years, so I just

1413
01:37:06,160 --> 01:37:09,640
Speaker 1: like ripped Seattle in the Northwest apart about like you know, like, oh,

1414
01:37:09,720 --> 01:37:11,920
Speaker 1: we're so progressive and like, well, where the funk is

1415
01:37:11,920 --> 01:37:15,400
Speaker 1: all the black people, and then you go to Tacoma

1416
01:37:15,479 --> 01:37:19,240
Speaker 1: and you're like, oh, there they are. You guys can't

1417
01:37:19,280 --> 01:37:21,280
Speaker 1: do that anymore. You can't just be like no, no,

1418
01:37:21,479 --> 01:37:23,639
Speaker 1: you can't, segarette. And that's how I was doing that stuff.

1419
01:37:24,280 --> 01:37:27,160
Speaker 1: And then like a month later, Sturgil sent me this

1420
01:37:27,280 --> 01:37:29,240
Speaker 1: thing that his people had said him. He's like, look

1421
01:37:29,280 --> 01:37:31,160
Speaker 1: at this review and it was from like a white

1422
01:37:31,320 --> 01:37:35,680
Speaker 1: nationalists website, and the guy was a huge fan of Sturgels.

1423
01:37:36,320 --> 01:37:38,679
Speaker 1: But when I came out and started doing my jokes

1424
01:37:39,120 --> 01:37:41,559
Speaker 1: at first he was like this is my guy because

1425
01:37:41,600 --> 01:37:45,320
Speaker 1: I've got blond hair and blue eyes and I have

1426
01:37:45,439 --> 01:37:47,680
Speaker 1: this accent, so he was like, oh, that he's been

1427
01:37:47,760 --> 01:37:51,760
Speaker 1: chosen to come here. And then I start saying this

1428
01:37:51,840 --> 01:37:57,519
Speaker 1: ship I say, and the guy was like, what the

1429
01:37:57,600 --> 01:38:01,000
Speaker 1: funk is this? And he went back and had to

1430
01:38:01,080 --> 01:38:03,160
Speaker 1: re listen to Sturgil and he's like, well, that motherfucker

1431
01:38:03,479 --> 01:38:08,720
Speaker 1: he I thought he was either. This made me laugh

1432
01:38:08,800 --> 01:38:15,479
Speaker 1: so hard. It's the best review I've ever gotten. There

1433
01:38:15,560 --> 01:38:19,000
Speaker 1: was a brage of blasphemy and anti whiteness, and I

1434
01:38:19,080 --> 01:38:27,040
Speaker 1: was like, he got what I was doing. I'll tweet

1435
01:38:27,160 --> 01:38:33,760
Speaker 1: that good review out soon because it's so good. It's

1436
01:38:33,800 --> 01:38:37,360
Speaker 1: well written. He's not it. He's educated, he's just misgot it.

1437
01:38:37,680 --> 01:38:40,680
Speaker 1: We're about to read and not well written piece of

1438
01:38:40,800 --> 01:38:44,479
Speaker 1: Nazi literature here. So, as I said, I found a

1439
01:38:44,520 --> 01:38:47,320
Speaker 1: fun article on National van Guard about Harold and it

1440
01:38:47,360 --> 01:38:49,160
Speaker 1: gives us some idea of how he was viewed by

1441
01:38:49,160 --> 01:38:51,519
Speaker 1: the neo Nazis, that he didn't give tens of thousands

1442
01:38:51,600 --> 01:38:54,680
Speaker 1: of dollars to That article cites a quote from a

1443
01:38:54,720 --> 01:38:59,040
Speaker 1: little guy you all might have heard of, Tom Metzger leader. Yeah,

1444
01:38:59,720 --> 01:39:01,800
Speaker 1: tim as a history in this town, and it's not

1445
01:39:01,880 --> 01:39:04,679
Speaker 1: a good one. Um leader of a group called White

1446
01:39:04,880 --> 01:39:08,800
Speaker 1: Aryan Resistance a k A war. Essentially a murderer, but

1447
01:39:08,960 --> 01:39:13,680
Speaker 1: with a couple of extra steps, and they're like, hey,

1448
01:39:13,800 --> 01:39:16,000
Speaker 1: we can't sing that, we can't say yeah, that is

1449
01:39:16,080 --> 01:39:19,679
Speaker 1: not going to go down, but it goes with our things,

1450
01:39:19,720 --> 01:39:24,639
Speaker 1: so good. So here's what Tom Metzger had to say

1451
01:39:24,640 --> 01:39:28,040
Speaker 1: about Harold von Brownhutt. Harold von brown Hutt, a self

1452
01:39:28,120 --> 01:39:30,599
Speaker 1: made multi millionaire from Maryland, has been an Area Nation

1453
01:39:30,640 --> 01:39:32,960
Speaker 1: scrimp tributor for years. I met the man in a

1454
01:39:33,040 --> 01:39:35,560
Speaker 1: meeting at Robert Miles's in Michigan. He was wearing a

1455
01:39:35,680 --> 01:39:38,040
Speaker 1: priest's collar when I first met him. He was a

1456
01:39:38,080 --> 01:39:41,800
Speaker 1: small man with decidedly Semitic features. I commented to several

1457
01:39:41,880 --> 01:39:43,880
Speaker 1: people at the time that this individual was a long

1458
01:39:43,960 --> 01:39:46,639
Speaker 1: way from an Arian. Then a Washington Post story broke

1459
01:39:46,680 --> 01:39:48,960
Speaker 1: a few years later, saying that von brown Hut was

1460
01:39:49,000 --> 01:39:51,400
Speaker 1: a bar Mitzvah Jew. It was also said that he

1461
01:39:51,520 --> 01:39:54,040
Speaker 1: was the state leader for Area Nations. This, of course

1462
01:39:54,280 --> 01:40:01,559
Speaker 1: puzzled me greatly, especially the way Christian hurt I made

1463
01:40:01,600 --> 01:40:04,439
Speaker 1: my findings known to the Area Nations but received I

1464
01:40:04,520 --> 01:40:06,920
Speaker 1: think his findings where he read the Washington Post article

1465
01:40:07,520 --> 01:40:10,320
Speaker 1: but received no answer, and then repeated the findings on

1466
01:40:10,360 --> 01:40:12,600
Speaker 1: this update a few years ago. Still no change. It

1467
01:40:12,640 --> 01:40:15,040
Speaker 1: seems Von Brownhood was some kind of self hating Jew,

1468
01:40:15,160 --> 01:40:17,880
Speaker 1: but a steady contributor to a n oh Well. I

1469
01:40:18,000 --> 01:40:20,080
Speaker 1: had felled the cat, but I heard nothing about it

1470
01:40:20,120 --> 01:40:22,600
Speaker 1: from the identity camp. Today I received an article that

1471
01:40:22,680 --> 01:40:24,840
Speaker 1: was printed in the Los Angeles Times, a thorough and

1472
01:40:24,920 --> 01:40:27,640
Speaker 1: complete history of the activities that Mr. Von Brownhood. The

1473
01:40:27,680 --> 01:40:29,840
Speaker 1: thing that appalled me through and through was one comment

1474
01:40:29,920 --> 01:40:32,240
Speaker 1: made by the writer that von brownhoot officiated at the

1475
01:40:32,320 --> 01:40:35,920
Speaker 1: funeral of Miss Betty Butler, the devoted rife of Richard Butler.

1476
01:40:36,280 --> 01:40:40,200
Speaker 1: That is very hard to swallow. So that's nice. It

1477
01:40:40,320 --> 01:40:42,680
Speaker 1: bummed out Tom Metzker, like, what what do you want? You?

1478
01:40:42,720 --> 01:40:44,920
Speaker 1: What do you want? In a happy ending of this podcast,

1479
01:40:45,200 --> 01:40:52,840
Speaker 1: Tom Metzker sad, that's as good as it's gonna get now. Well,

1480
01:40:52,920 --> 01:41:04,040
Speaker 1: he looklocker, you speaking. Harold von Brownhood stroked out and

1481
01:41:04,120 --> 01:41:08,240
Speaker 1: died in two thousand three. There we go, fuck him.

1482
01:41:08,479 --> 01:41:11,880
Speaker 1: Here's a piece of ship. Yeah, the collector just funded

1483
01:41:11,920 --> 01:41:18,240
Speaker 1: more Nazis. He's good now. The most his fellow fascists

1484
01:41:18,280 --> 01:41:20,439
Speaker 1: that the National Vanguard were willing to say about him

1485
01:41:20,520 --> 01:41:24,280
Speaker 1: was apparently Brownhood's racial beliefs were sincere, and I noticed

1486
01:41:24,280 --> 01:41:27,200
Speaker 1: they didn't give him the vong. That's interesting to me. Now,

1487
01:41:28,080 --> 01:41:31,400
Speaker 1: Harold's longtime wife, Yolanda, sold the rights to see monkeys

1488
01:41:31,439 --> 01:41:34,080
Speaker 1: after his death to a company called Big Time Toys

1489
01:41:34,200 --> 01:41:37,120
Speaker 1: for several million dollars. They apparently screwed her out of

1490
01:41:37,200 --> 01:41:39,200
Speaker 1: quite a lot of this money, and she sued them

1491
01:41:39,240 --> 01:41:41,559
Speaker 1: in two thousand thirteen. I'm not going to get into

1492
01:41:41,560 --> 01:41:43,919
Speaker 1: the details of the lawsuit, but it was still ongoing

1493
01:41:44,080 --> 01:41:46,679
Speaker 1: as of two thousand sixteen. The New York Times wrote

1494
01:41:46,680 --> 01:41:49,560
Speaker 1: an article about the story and pressed Yolanda gently on

1495
01:41:49,680 --> 01:41:53,439
Speaker 1: her husband's years of fascist activism. She insisted that she

1496
01:41:53,600 --> 01:42:02,479
Speaker 1: and her husband never talked about politics. Listen, he had

1497
01:42:02,520 --> 01:42:06,200
Speaker 1: so much sea monkey money and he had so much

1498
01:42:06,360 --> 01:42:09,200
Speaker 1: knowledge about sea monkeys. We just didn't have time to

1499
01:42:09,240 --> 01:42:12,360
Speaker 1: talk about anything. That was all that was going on.

1500
01:42:12,680 --> 01:42:14,000
Speaker 1: And most of the time I was just trying to

1602
01:49:10,520 --> 01:49:15,439
Speaker 1: gonna give him away. So it's my first record. There's

1603
01:49:15,479 --> 01:49:17,360
Speaker 1: a lot of good jokes. There's some holes that I

1604
01:49:17,400 --> 01:49:20,120
Speaker 1: don't care for, but whatever, you guys, I'm really proud of.

1605
01:49:20,200 --> 01:49:21,760
Speaker 1: I listen to a couple of weeks ago and I

1606
01:49:21,840 --> 01:49:25,719
Speaker 1: was like, this isn't bad at all. So it's gonna

1607
01:49:25,800 --> 01:49:28,920
Speaker 1: and I'm also like thirty pounds heavier than I am now,

1608
01:49:29,000 --> 01:49:31,560
Speaker 1: so it was just this fat. He was fun. That

1609
01:49:31,680 --> 01:49:34,920
Speaker 1: guy was fun as fuck. I got one last thing

1610
01:49:35,000 --> 01:49:37,759
Speaker 1: to say. There's a fellow in the audience named Alan

1611
01:49:37,840 --> 01:49:40,240
Speaker 1: who built the website for the War on Everyone dot

1612
01:49:40,320 --> 01:49:43,599
Speaker 1: com and who without his help, that would have taken

1613
01:49:43,680 --> 01:49:45,840
Speaker 1: like a month and a half more to produce, and

1614
01:49:45,840 --> 01:49:48,600
Speaker 1: I would never have accomplished it as competently because the

1615
01:49:48,680 --> 01:49:51,000
Speaker 1: only thing I can do is write eleven pages on

1616
01:49:51,120 --> 01:49:54,720
Speaker 1: shitty people and then drunkenly read them to comedians. So

1617
01:49:55,560 --> 01:50:02,559
Speaker 1: thank you, very much, Thank you guys. I got that inside.

1618
01:50:02,560 --> 01:50:03,360
Speaker 1: I don't guess we're done.
