Buffoons Reminisce

What do a goat mayor, a corpse on trial, and a coconut SOS have in common? They all made our year of storytelling outrageous, insightful, and way more fun than history class ever was. We mark the end of the year by quizzing each other on the wildest tales we told, reliving the moments that made us gasp, laugh, and occasionally yell “nope rope” at a snake on a beer can.

We jump from the Mona Lisa heist and how absence made it iconic to the roots of May Day in the Haymarket era. We revisit the Thuggee cult’s devotion to Kali, the Cadaver Synod where a dead pope faced judgment, and Guy Fawkes’ 36 barrels beneath Parliament. The thread continues with the Children’s Blizzard’s deadly turn, the Canada–Denmark “whiskey war” on Hans Island, and Annie Oakley earning “Little Sure Shot” from Sitting Bull. There’s WWII espionage in Operation Mincemeat, genetics with the CCR5 delta-32 mutation and HIV resistance, and a healthy eye-roll at anti-comet pills that preyed on fear.

American legends and scandals get their time too: Sarah Rosetta Wakeman fighting the Civil War in disguise, the Black Sox scandal that reshaped baseball, and the Kentucky Derby’s shaky beginning on its way to Triple Crown glory. We round it out with JFK’s PT-109 survival and the coconut-coded rescue, the Forty Elephants’ criminal code of conduct, and the surprising way Charles Dickens helped cement “Merry Christmas” in everyday speech. It’s a fast, funny, and deeply curious ride through the corners of history that stick.

SPEAKER_00 4:03

So you had um quite a story this week. Why don't you why don't you tell the folks?

SPEAKER_03 4:11

So I was at I work really early. It's dark. And I made a stop on my way to my first account. And oh, I cracked my head open.

SPEAKER_00 4:23

Yeah, you did.

SPEAKER_03 4:24

Should I include a picture? Yeah, you should. You think so?

SPEAKER_00 4:28

Yeah. Put uh scar, or not scar, but uh I don't know, possible blood stitches, injury warning, and then insert a picture here.

SPEAKER_03 4:39

Okay. So I uh yeah, I I stepped on some ice on in this parking lot of this gas station, just literally went fucking down hard.

SPEAKER_00 4:49

So were you were you between the pumps and the store? Okay. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 4:55

And uh my right foot started to go. I tried to put my left foot down, same thing happened to that, and I just went uh full on plank down burn whiplash. Yeah. And just smacked my dome and split my head right open.

SPEAKER_00 5:10

So you could stand to lose a little bit of dome.

SPEAKER_03 5:13

I have a big head, yeah. A lot of hats don't fit me. It's hard to find hats, and I don't like to wear hats anymore because I just get too warm. So but yeah, that was um not fun. Yeah, and then my uh co-worker had to drive me around the rest of the day just in case I hadn't concung uh a concussion, which I did not, surprisingly.

SPEAKER_00 5:33

Yeah, that's good though. But they that was that was smart of them to do that.

Year-In-Review Quiz Rules

SPEAKER_03 5:36

And then I went and got six stitches. Six. So yeah, that was not what you would call a fun. Um my body is still kind of sore from the fall because I hit hard and it was concrete, obviously. And my whole back, from literally from head to heel, not toe, just slammed on the ground. So it was not fun. My earbud popped out of my ear, and I didn't write, I didn't even notice it until I went. Luckily, only one did, but I found it, obviously. And uh yeah, that was I would have laid that and be like, fuck. Well, my one co-worker's like, dude, I would have never even got up. I waited for the ambulance to take me from that spot, and then he's like, I'm gonna get rich. I'm like, oh okay. Anyways, but ouch. It did not feel good, yeah. So, anyways, so how do we want to start this? Do you we just want to kind of go back and forth with our questions?

SPEAKER_00 6:31

Yeah, I can start, and then if we wanted like interject and like just reminisce, yeah. So basically what we're doing is and we there's a good there's a good chance that some of these um questions might overlap or yeah, whatever because so or the um um advanced mint level is not doesn't match. Like mine might be super easy or yours might be really hard. It like or vice versa, yeah. Vice versa. Like we haven't talked to each other at all about our questions.

SPEAKER_03 7:03

So what we did is we um each not help I hate when that happens. Uh what we what we each did is create our own set of uh questions related to our podcast episodes. I'm gonna see if I remember anything. Yeah, so I will tell you this in mine the way I did it, and it's not, I mean, we could do it for all, but I guess it's not necessary for all. I also part of the question is you have to name the actual episode title. Oh geez. Oh god. Oh god. I thought that might be a little tough.

SPEAKER_00 7:39

So let's start with mine. It's probably easier.

SPEAKER_03 7:42

Well, let's hope so, because I'm a buffoon.

Art Heists And Labor History

SPEAKER_00 7:44

Okay, so we have 10 questions each with a couple more to like if we need to.

SPEAKER_03 7:50

Yeah, for sure.

SPEAKER_00 7:51

Okay. Who is Vincenzo Perugia?

SPEAKER_03 7:55

Um he was the he was the guy who stole the Mona Lisa.

SPEAKER_00 8:03

That's right.

SPEAKER_03 8:04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 8:04

Okay, now do you remember what the episode name is?

SPEAKER_03 8:07

Mona Lisa Smile.

SPEAKER_00 8:09

Pool of villains.

SPEAKER_03 8:10

I know. I know it wasn't Mona Lisa Smile.

SPEAKER_00 8:13

It's episode 29.

SPEAKER_03 8:15

Oh, I did not put numbers for each one, but that's okay.

SPEAKER_00 8:18

I really liked that story.

SPEAKER_03 8:20

That was a really interesting story in the way he got away with it. But the way he got caught is like, really, dude? Yeah. Come on, man.

SPEAKER_00 8:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 8:29

But um the way that he was able to do that was pretty impressive. Yeah. Um, but no, that was an interesting story because the fact that it was because I don't do you remember how many you it was gone for a while, right? I think two or three years. That's that, yeah. So I mean, that's wild that what well now because of that story, one of the most famous paintings in the fucking world he made it desirable. Yeah, exactly. And the fact that it was just gone for two or three years or whatever is just crazy that that was the case. Yeah. No, I did I did enjoy that story.

SPEAKER_00 9:03

Yeah, that was a good one. And it wasn't sad.

SPEAKER_03 9:06

No, it wasn't. It actually wasn't. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 9:08

Which I'd say I don't find many of those.

SPEAKER_03 9:14

All right. So my first question is uh who taught Jack Daniel how to make whiskey and what episode was it called?

SPEAKER_00 9:21

Okay, so that was Uncle Nearest Green.

SPEAKER_03 9:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 9:25

And ooh, the episode. Oh shit.

SPEAKER_03 9:27

It's one of the best title episodes we have.

SPEAKER_00 9:30

Oh gosh. I don't know. I think Ty 1-800 Typhoid is pretty epic.

SPEAKER_03 9:35

That is pretty great. The Father, the Son, and the Distilled Spirits.

SPEAKER_00 9:44

Yeah, that's right.

SPEAKER_03 9:45

I love that title. That is so good. The Father, the Son, and the Distilled Spirits.

SPEAKER_00 9:51

Oh and I think she I think the the woman who like started the company for Uncle Nearest is now like going bankrupt or something.

SPEAKER_03 10:03

Yeah, that we we saw that you brought that up to me a couple weeks ago or so. Weeks, month or so ago, whatever it was.

SPEAKER_00 10:09

Yeah. And but don't quote me on that. This is all from memory and you know, keep memory.

SPEAKER_03 10:15

And that is about the memory of an aunt. And that's why we're here. Yeah. All right, your turn.

SPEAKER_00 10:21

Okay. What is May Day?

SPEAKER_03 10:25

It's when you're going down in your plane, and it's isn't it May 1st where you go and like you guys used to do that when you were little? Give treats or something? Is that what it was?

SPEAKER_00 10:39

Yeah, gifts.

SPEAKER_03 10:40

Whatever.

SPEAKER_00 10:41

Kind of a ding dong ditch or whatever. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 10:45

Although you were standing in front of the window where you saw you do it. But yeah.

SPEAKER_00 10:52

Okay, but where did May First come from? Where did May Day come from?

SPEAKER_03 10:55

May 1st.

SPEAKER_00 10:59

I will give you a hint.

SPEAKER_03 11:00

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 11:01

It's from the episode Antichrists.

SPEAKER_03 11:04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 11:06

Episode 26.

SPEAKER_03 11:08

Oh, the the Haymarket affair?

SPEAKER_00 11:11

That's right. Yes.

SPEAKER_03 11:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 11:12

Um, so in 1884, labor unions across the country decided that May 1st, 1886, would be the day that date they demanded an eight-hour workday.

SPEAKER_03 11:24

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 11:24

And it just continued every year since.

SPEAKER_03 11:27

So when a plane's going down, they're like, I want an eight-hour work week. I want an eight-hour work week. I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 11:32

Yeah, I don't know where that one comes from.

SPEAKER_03 11:34

All right. My next question. It could be multiple choice.

SPEAKER_00 11:39

Okay. If I need it.

SPEAKER_03 11:40

If you need it.

SPEAKER_00 11:40

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 11:41

What unusual title did the goat hold in Fairhaven, Vermont?

SPEAKER_02 11:47

Mayor.

SPEAKER_00 11:50

Right?

SPEAKER_03 11:50

Correct.

SPEAKER_00 11:51

Woohoo! That was the episode I was sick on, right? And you had your son take my place.

SPEAKER_03 11:57

Xavier and I did. Um Mayor Lincoln the Goat.

SPEAKER_00 12:01

Mayor Lincoln, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 12:03

That was fun having Xavier on it. Yeah. It wasn't maybe a mistake, but it was funny.

SPEAKER_00 12:08

It's fine.

SPEAKER_03 12:09

I mean, he uh he decided he wanted to clam up and not talk and then just say, Mayor Ruffles.

SPEAKER_00 12:16

Mayor Ruffles.

SPEAKER_03 12:17

It's pretty great though. It was pretty funny. I was glad he was able to do that. And it was a it was an unusual story, and it was right up his alley.

SPEAKER_00 12:25

So he's got a Christmas sweater on right now, and it was was it Spider-Man like Christmas sweater?

SPEAKER_03 12:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 12:32

Yeah, it was super cute. Or like PJs or something.

SPEAKER_03 12:35

I think it's just a regular sweater, not PJs, but yeah.

SPEAKER_00 12:38

It looks like an old school type of sweater, but it's with Spider-Man.

SPEAKER_03 12:42

Spider-Man across his heads, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 12:45

It's cute. Okay, the Thuggy cult believed their murders honored which deity.

SPEAKER_03 12:53

Shiva. No. I know that wasn't right.

SPEAKER_00 12:56

And also, this is multiple choice if you want it.

SPEAKER_03 12:59

Oh boy. Who was the I don't remember.

SPEAKER_00 13:04

A Vishnu, B Kali, C Shiva, B D Parvati.

SPEAKER_03 13:10

The B.

SPEAKER_00 13:11

B. Kali, that's right. And that's from the episode Holy Hitman Roofie.

Black Sox, Trials Of The Dead, And Guy Fawkes

SPEAKER_03 13:15

Episode 67. Uh we have a lot of episodes. So um I guess it would have been a week and a half. Yeah, about almost two weeks ago. Our 100th combined between Origin and Puffoons episode came out. So that was a pretty good uh milestone for us. We've hit over uh 2,500 downloads, which you know, to some people like but to us, we're we're thankful for everyone who's done it. Um and we have what 75 subscribers on YouTube, so thank you to every one of you uh that does help support the show and whatever, and maybe gets a kick out of our stupidity. So you know, but yeah, we do have a lot of episodes, it's kind of great. Um I can't believe we made it to 100. That's wild. Yeah. And uh, you know, a whole bunch more to come.

SPEAKER_00 14:10

Oh yeah. There's so much history out there. Every day we're making history.

SPEAKER_03 14:14

You beat me to it. And I wish you would stop. Anyways, um, all right. What did Robert Liston achieve that earned him a 300% mortality rate?

SPEAKER_00 14:27

Oh yeah. Um He did he cut an artery in a patient and then You don't have to get that specific. Okay, so he killed three people in one surgery. Do you know which people he killed? The patient, another doctor, an assistant, an assistant, and then another doctor, and a spectator. A spectator, yeah. So one so the patient died somehow, and then he accidentally like cut someone with his yeah, with his uh scalpel, scalpel, scalpel, his scalpel, and then someone who was watching like was shocked to death. Yep. So he had a 300% mortality rate.

SPEAKER_03 15:12

That was just wild because poor guy. Well, how would you like to be remembered for killing three people in one procedure? Yeah, and two of them aren't even for the procedure, yeah. So I mean, way to go down in history with killing a weird story. Uh extremely weird that the fact that you literally you didn't murder, but you know, you were a part of three people dying within a sh very, very short amount of time. Yeah, that's crazy. I thought that was funny because 300% mortality rate. Bad enough to have a hundred, let alone three hundred. So three hundred.

SPEAKER_00 15:51

Yeah, that was that was a good story too.

SPEAKER_03 15:53

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 15:55

Okay, number four. Mary Anning's most famous discovery was of what skeleton? Oh. And it's multiple the rest of these are multiple choice if you need. No.

SPEAKER_02 16:09

What? It starts with an eye. Oh shit. That's right.

SPEAKER_03 16:17

I do. Let's go with the multiples.

SPEAKER_00 16:19

Well, that just gave it away because there's only one with an eye.

SPEAKER_03 16:23

That was your fault.

SPEAKER_00 16:26

Um, Ichthiosaur.

SPEAKER_03 16:28

Ichthyosaur, that's right. Yep. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 16:30

Um, that's from the episode Mary's Comet.

SPEAKER_03 16:35

Because she uh didn't she also find a plesiosaur? Yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 16:39

It's just that she found like one full skeleton of the ichthyosaur, I believe.

SPEAKER_03 16:44

Oh, that's right. Um, but I'm like, I'm pretty sure she found a plesiosaur, too. But okay, cool. So I wasn't far off. No, but no, yeah, she did find the full skeleton of the ichthyosaur. I don't rem I kind of remember what that looks like. It's got the long neck, big body, right? Yeah. Right, right. And then because she was from England and they found them a lot on the shores. Yes, after like a really big storm and the water would eat away at the land, I guess. Yes. But yeah, okay, okay. All right. Um, what bizarre legal case literally involved trying a corpse?

SPEAKER_00 17:22

Cadaver synod.

SPEAKER_03 17:25

That was probably the most laughter in one of our episodes ever, and it was only an origin of weird, so it was a shorter one. Um but we could not stop laughing.

SPEAKER_00 17:35

So um, that was a question of mine. I my that was my 15th question. Yeah. What is unique about Pope For Formosus?

SPEAKER_03 17:46

Yep, Formosus, yep.

SPEAKER_00 17:47

He was put on trial after his death. Um, I just to kind of recap briefly recap for the listeners, Formosus was accused of lying under oath and illegally serving as a bishop, meaning he was also illegally a pope.

SPEAKER_01 18:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 18:03

And he, I don't remember how he died, but then they were like, let's put him on trial.

SPEAKER_03 18:08

Yeah, let's dig him up and put him on trial. Yeah. And they found a dead pope guilty. It's like, what the fuck? I mean, those are some wild ass fucking times back then. Yeah. Jesus Christ. Because you do that today, yeah, not so much. Back then, they're like, Yeah, just fucking dig him up and set him on that chair. Make sure he's in his full pulp regalia.

SPEAKER_00 18:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 18:29

So we know who that is.

SPEAKER_00 18:30

It's like his hat probably didn't fit.

SPEAKER_03 18:33

You know, they probably had a duct tape. Tuck. Yeah, they definitely had duct tape back then. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 18:39

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 18:40

Maybe a staple gun. You know. But uh that was just wild. So weird.

SPEAKER_00 18:46

Why did we laugh so hard?

SPEAKER_03 18:48

I don't remember all the laughter. Like what called it. Or just being silly. It was just it was such a silly story, and we were being silly.

SPEAKER_00 18:56

I'll have to listen to that again.

SPEAKER_03 18:57

Yeah, because it was just so fucking funny. Yeah. But the fact they put a dead Pope on trial is just like, what the actual fuck? Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 19:06

So he can't defend himself.

SPEAKER_03 19:08

Well, and that's the thing. It's like, wait a minute. No. I mean, no. He's dead. But anyways. All right.

SPEAKER_00 19:17

What are you gonna do? Kill him for it.

SPEAKER_03 19:23

We we sentenced you to death.

SPEAKER_00 19:25

Um, okay.

SPEAKER_03 19:27

All right.

SPEAKER_00 19:28

Okay. Guy Fox was discovered guarding how many barrels of gunpowder.

Blizzards, Whiskey Wars, And Annie Oakley

SPEAKER_03 19:35

Wasn't it like four? Oh shit. 40 comes to mind. I don't know why, but I think it was more than that. Slightly less. Slightly less.

SPEAKER_00 19:45

Slightly less.

SPEAKER_03 19:46

37.

SPEAKER_00 19:47

36. Damn it. Super close. And that was from episode three, Remember Remember.

SPEAKER_03 19:53

Yes, which was clearly taken from V for Vendetta.

SPEAKER_00 19:56

If you have not watched V for Vendetta, you will not.

SPEAKER_03 20:00

regret it please watch it it is so so good no i love that movie it's so great it's on a regular I wouldn't say I watch it every month even but it's definitely on a regular rotation for me it's a it's a it's got good rewatchability we were just think talking about gladiator and how we can rewatch it and not like get sick of it yeah because I mean gladiator like I was telling you is literally one of my favorite movies of all time yeah I just absolutely love that movie hard to believe that movie's 25 years old yeah but V for Vendetta is has great rewatchability well and if you're that type of watcher yeah if you like that type of movie but um uh Hugo Weaving's voice just perfect so good just it's just crazy that James Pierfoy was the original V and he just couldn't he did not like working with the mask and everything and so on.

SPEAKER_00 20:51

Oh and so Hugo had to redo a few lines but he was mostly the in the movie but either way wasn't Hugo Weaving like a stage actor I think sounds right and you're basically acting with your whole body as a s on on stage and so right so because he's so used to acting with his whole body being put behind a mask you can still see exactly what he's doing like what he's feeling and whether he might be smiling or not.

SPEAKER_03 21:20

I might be wrong in this but I could have sworn I heard a tidbit about that movie once where they were originally going to have different masks to like show show his mouth like his mood andor whatever. Yeah oh okay and they abandoned that yeah um completely which I'm glad they did. Yeah it would have been a little hokey. It would have been too hokey and the way he delivered oh so good. So anyways back to our episode uh remember remember yes was about the the gunpowder treason and plot um yes but uh that was a good one too that was our third episode yeah uh which event ended with nine students dying in a blizzard that hit suddenly um that was the Dietlov Pass incident no what oh say it again what event ended with nine students dying in a blizzard that hit suddenly oh this is the children's blizzard of 1888 yep oh because wasn't there nine for Dietlov too there was yeah dude but technically eight because one one went back yeah so yeah the the children's blizzard that was a great episode do you remember the our to our title of it I don't unreasonably warm I mean that's from you that's a direct cake I think it was supposed to be unseasonably warm that's what that's what it was supposed to be and then you said unreasonably so um it's a cadism it is a cadism and we have quite a few of those throughout the episodes uh but the children's brother basically went over how um it got unseasonably warm and then all of a sudden it just fucking dropped and this huge fucking cold front or whatever went through and people got trapped out it people were at school to try to get them home some people died some people lost limbs I don't remember if nine full students actually die in that but I know a bunch of people actually died.

SPEAKER_00 23:22

I don't know if they were all students I guess I just put students nine seems to be a low number.

SPEAKER_03 23:27

Yeah because I thought it was maybe more yeah but I thought it was more yeah I might have forgotten and fucked that up oh that's all right that's on me.

SPEAKER_00 23:35

Um yeah it they all uh the the winter had been super super cold and so they hadn't gone to school in a school and then all of a sudden this warm day in January it was like 35 degrees which after such cold winter that is warm yep they all went to school and this this storm came and just and all the students walked home and many didn't make it.

SPEAKER_00 24:12

Yeah and yeah yeah that was that was a great episode that was such a weird like I don't want to say phenomenon but yeah kind of was phenomenon yeah to to a degree so anyways the whiskey war was a territorial dispute between which two countries it was Canada and the Dutch Denmark yeah Denmark yeah absolutely yeah in that weird little fucking island stone island was like split right in between the two uh countries yeah yeah um that was the whiskey war episode seven of the origin of weird yeah um and they would leave like bottles of whiskey to claim the land and then like a couple months later then the the Dutch would come and replace their whiskey with their own and yeah didn't didn't they leave they didn't leave whiskey though they left something else didn't they schnapps it was schnapps I think it was schnapps yeah that sounds right Canada left Canadian whiskey yeah which is just funny yeah but um I mean what a weird fucking island of fight over there's no resources there it's stone it's stone it's just a piece of rock in the water and it's not even that big and it's flat mostly flat yeah could you um and if I recall right um in the winter you could literally walk to it because the the water around it would freeze and everything it's like what what what are you doing here? Yeah I think was it Hans Island? Is that what it's called that might be Hans I don't recall that whose name is it I don't know because that would I would think that who's whose ever like name it is that's the country it belongs to.

SPEAKER_03 25:58

You would think right but I mean so why whatever but I mean they at least kind of made it fun they made it fun with the the whiskey changes and yeah right all right so this one you're gonna get I'm I'm pretty positive you're gonna get the answer okay of who it is pretty easily.

SPEAKER_00 26:19

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 26:20

The second part is the episode title which I don't think you're gonna get which female sharpshooter became world famous and toured with Buffalo Bill.

SPEAKER_00 26:29

That was my next question. Was it really yes but I'll I'm gonna still say mine because it's different.

SPEAKER_03 26:34

SPEAKER_03 27:28

Correct not Hickok but Little Sure shot she got from Sitting Bull it was from Sitting Bull okay I thought that but I'm like I don't remember so okay little sure shot uh there's a really good BC boys song called Sure Shot yeah oh it's fucking is it about Annie Oakley?

Disguised Soldiers And Prohibition Gangs

SPEAKER_00 27:48

Yeah 100% that she okay I I think we put it in the video in the YouTube version of the um episode 31 of was it Edison creating the very first video of her of her shooting targets was that the very first video ever did we have video back then for episode 31 I think oh I don't know yeah I'm pretty sure I don't know what is our first video on hold on hold please but I can figure that out I don't remember if we did that I I know I I remember you showing me that video oops wrong thing um because yeah that is fucking wild because it actually shows Annie Oakley like hitting all these targets and there's right there's a guy like just kind of throwing up birdies in the air and she's just right oh piss off all right I don't know because this is being weird.

SPEAKER_03 28:53

Thank you YouTube Creator Studio that's weird. Maybe we should do an origin weird on YouTube creator studio. There we go.

SPEAKER_00 29:03

I'm joking um oh wait okay so that's that so no so all of our audio is there the first our audio's there but I don't know if we're actually on video for that our first video is um run for the roses say it's the Kentucky Derby one the Kentucky Derby what number was that Kentucky Derby one that's what number what I don't remember boom boom boom boom boom nope that's not right oh that wasn't till May right that was episode 39 yeah so no we didn't so we didn't okay so I'll have to add the video because it you can actually there is a little short video it's just it's wild you you did show me that so that's just that's fucking wild okay let's we'll add that okay because it's it's a cute little short video but I'm I want to say it's like one of the first ever videos ever recorded.

Derby History And Triple Crown Talk

SPEAKER_03 30:15

Right film not video film yeah all right one of our questions should have been what was our first video you two apparently we but we I I focus more on episodes than history of the buffoons yeah I did too which Olympic attack permanently changed security procedures that was the um black September Israeli attack in the Olympic Games 36 no 1972 oh that was way off 36 was Hitler that's right in Munich 72 also a good episode um sad as fuck oh my gosh and then the video um there was a movie yeah the September 5th yeah it's just called September 5th yeah so good for a single single watch like I tried to watch it a second time I was like nope kid you you and I watched it together you did you did try to watch it again I did just I couldn't do it that's all right but that first when you and I watched that that was I really enjoyed it it was a good job it was a unique perspective of what was going on um because it was all about what was going on in the uh in the studio studio broadcasting studio the behind the scenes for that they're they're trying to figure out what the fuck to do yeah it wasn't about the actual Olympic situation it was yeah it was really unique and really good all right what was the name of the episode scenario 21 yeah you got it nice work that's funny you got it you got it okay yeah delta 32 mutation is believed to confer re resistance to what eight correct yes yes yes because that's delta dean gene delta 32 yes keep an eye on your boobs episode 30 yeah yeah that so gene 32 was potentially gene delta 32 delta 32 yeah um was potentially um immunity against the black plague yeah and the people who had that gene uh obviously like passed that down through generations and that same gene has a resistance to HIV yeah which is wild crazy because you're like why don't we just give everyone this gene yeah I don't think that how that I'm not sure that's how that works. Yeah but it's so interesting the fact that something that mutated and developed through the Black Plague and whatever maybe not mutated and developed but they had it back then people still got sick but they didn't die. Yes. Whereas some people who got it just fucking died because they didn't have the gene Delta 32 and the fact that that was passed on through you know generation after generation and the fact that it actually um can help not cure nothing like that but I'm so sorry. Um excuse me but the fact that it can actually I don't know keep you safe from the HIV viruses is fucking wild. I mean from something that came from so long ago and you know AIDS go crazy. Because AIDS what popped up late 70s it was big in the 80s and 90s right um not saying it's not still a saying yeah I'm sure it popped up earlier they just didn't have a name for it or that's very possible.

JFK’s PT-109 And Coconut Message

SPEAKER_00 33:50

Yeah but either way yeah all right what infamous pill promised protection from space debris oh the anti-pill comet anti-comet pill anti-comet pills anti-pill comet new cadisms all the time I'll take all the anti-pills so I I did go a little origin weird uh origin of weird heavy heavy yeah because I kind of thought you would go more episode buffoon episodes heavy I mean they're all our episodes doesn't matter so I I I was really trying not to like overlap a lot. Well my next one is an origin story all right there you go the corpse used for Operation Mincemeat was named what? And I don't expect you to get this so I will I will give you all the um multiple choice options yes please major Clarence Brown no Captain William James Martin Lieutenant Charles H. Brooks Colonel Alfred Brasser B B Captain William James Martin Yep I remember I remember the Martin Yep that was our very first Origin of Weird Operation Mincemeat also which has a good uh movie based off of it with Colin Firth.

SPEAKER_03 35:10

I really enjoyed that movie so good you had said you watched it prior to doing that episode so you could whatever did I yeah and so I'm like oh I want to check it out and I think I I got home one day early so I put it on and I really enjoyed that movie.

SPEAKER_00 35:26

Um it is good I mean I know Colin First you're your guy but I I love Colin Firth too um and uh no I I they thought they did a really good job with that so they did it was a good movie such a weird story too because the fact they used a fucking corpse and then they were later put on his the the gravestone but they figured out who it actually was and everything if I remember right yeah but yeah but they they essentially found a corpse yeah and made this whole like background story of it fake intel on him fake intel for so they wanted the Americans or was it no it was the British it was the Allies but yeah they wanted um the Axis power to move out of Sicily so they could have like a fake intel yeah a landing point and then they did and we we took over Sicily yeah and then that that was a good strategic area to launch attacks from and such but yeah I would watch that movie again. I would totally watch that again I I really enjoyed that all right uh oh ooh I'm this I'm gonna start my sea salt and lemon lager.

SPEAKER_03 36:39

I would love to know what you think of that because I'm very curious about the lemon I should have had a palate cleanser.

The Forty Elephants And Code Of Crime

SPEAKER_00 36:44

Give me some sorbet we're at my house fuck off different little yellow different it's good I can taste the lemon but it's not super strong and neither is the sea salt oh Nathan would have to put more salt in it probably um it's good it reminds me very much of shump summer shandy oh really that kind of that kind of vein yeah okay but it's good I like it's alright um I don't see I wanna how many more questions do you want to do?

SPEAKER_03 37:32

Because I I'm kind of down for a few I'm down for a few okay so um let's do this one which US woman disguised herself as a man to fight and work in the Civil War? Are you kidding me? Is that your next fucking question?

SPEAKER_00 37:49

In two questions come on Sarah Rosetta Wakeman yeah and what did she do? She dressed as a man she slept on a pair of trousers she slept on a pair of trousers that was so funny. Because I'm like wait so she fell over like trousers Wakeman um dressed up as a guy and she named him Lion's Wakeman um and she fought for the union in the Civil War and she when she died of dysentery as a matter of fact. And she wasn't going to Oregon um they put on her gravestone Lions Wakeman. Yeah so there's speculation that even if people found out that she was a one they all kept her secret. Which is crazy yeah yeah um want to hear my question I mean yeah let's do it what is the relationship between Rosetta Sarah Rosetta Wakeman and Lions Wakeman. That was my question.

Final Quiz, Merry Christmas Origins

SPEAKER_03 38:54

There you go perfect it was I mean times are different back then someone to do actually go through and do that I feel like our weak ass pussy culture today would not have somebody like that. Yeah and that's really sad. Yeah um don't get me wrong I don't want to go fight in war either but times are different people wouldn't do that today yeah because they're all like I gotta get more views yeah on my TikTok account or whatever. So cool person.

SPEAKER_00 39:26

She was she was great cool person.

SPEAKER_03 39:28

She died so young like well wasn't she like 26?

SPEAKER_00 39:32

See I was gonna say like 27.

SPEAKER_03 39:33

So like yeah somewhere in there mid-20s we'll call it yeah so she died that could be either way doesn't matter um that was very old that was uh episode number 47 slipped on a pair of trousers that was such a funny title and so if anyone who's made it this far in this video if you haven't gathered in any of our like w we We we pick something stupid basically, more or less, that we the title is that we say that Kate and I find very fucking funny. Cause well, it's funny. So that's our episode title, but then of course we list who it's about. So um I think the slipped on a pair of trousers was kind of just a misunderstanding on my part.

SPEAKER_00 40:22

So funny.

SPEAKER_03 40:22

Where I'm like, wait, so she just she like were they on the ground and she slipped on them? I mean, like, no, she pulled them on, you know, because ladies back then wore the dresses typically in whatever of this of the time frame style, but I just thought that was fucking funny.

SPEAKER_00 40:41

That was so funny.

SPEAKER_03 40:42

All right.

SPEAKER_00 40:43

All right. Again, this could be a multiple choice, which I'm assuming you'll need because it's very specific. Sure. Which commissioner banned the implicated players of the Black Sox for life?

SPEAKER_03 40:55

Oh, it is um, yeah. Give me a I'll get it once you'd say 'em.

SPEAKER_00 41:00

Ban Johnson, Kennesaw Mountain Landis, Happy Chandler, or Ford Frick.

SPEAKER_03 41:07

Ford Frick B.

SPEAKER_00 41:10

Kennesaw Mountain Landis. He was a judge.

Mad Libs Mayhem And Closing CTA

SPEAKER_03 41:13

Yep, he was a judge, and then he became the first official um baseball commissioner, yeah of the major league baseball.

SPEAKER_00 41:21

Also great episode. I really liked that. Uh researching that episode. That was um episode 66 Persuede them.

SPEAKER_03 41:29

Which is one of the guys was one of the guys who was in on it. But yeah, I mean, of course, that was the gambling story. I really like learning about it because I knew of it. I've always known of it. I'm a baseball fan, so I've always heard of it and so on, and whatever. Shoeless Joe Jackson, all that good stuff. He's the only one I really knew about. Um, so I really like learning more about the other people involved, how it came kind of came to be, and why, and the fact they all got fucked out of baseball and never even got paid because yeah, they never got their gambling bet. No, because the the fucking crookie gambler people stiffed them.

SPEAKER_00 42:10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 42:10

And they got fucked. Well, one guy got some money, but most of them asked for it up front. He was fucking smart.

SPEAKER_00 42:18

Yeah, he bribed them. But he's like, I'll do it if you give me five thousand up front.

SPEAKER_03 42:22

But the the funny thing is that five thousand, I mean, yeah, is peanuts even back then if you would have just kept playing, you know.

SPEAKER_00 42:30

Yeah, that's fair.

SPEAKER_03 42:32

So, I mean, it's like you gave up this for five thousand dollars, and the other guys gave up all of this for literally nothing. So, no, I I really enjoyed learning more about the Black Sox scandal because um it's such a dark stain on the history of baseball. And um, of course, there's been other things that have popped up, Pete Rose with his gambling and fucking Shohei Otani's interpreter who stole money from him and so on. Seriously, that's all weird and shit.

SPEAKER_00 43:07

Um what a tool. Yeah. So I mean, he was pro he's probably rich and could could manage it, but either way.

SPEAKER_03 43:16

Holy crap. So there's still shit that pops up, and it's like, come on, guys. Like, can we just have a fucking honest game here or something? But either way. All right. Um, which notorious prison in the U.S. was the topic for our episode Ungodly Human?

SPEAKER_00 43:38

That was Andersonville.

SPEAKER_03 43:40

Okay, now here's the real question.

SPEAKER_00 43:43

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 43:44

What did you mean to say instead of ungodly human?

SPEAKER_00 43:49

Humid. Ungodly humid. Another great episode.

SPEAKER_03 43:59

And that was uh suggested by Sarah, my wife, um, because she's been she's been lived down there before. Um, I really enjoyed that. That was like one of our first really long ones, if I'm not mistaken. Um, it was it was really good. Um I I rather enjoyed it. I mean, what a shitty situation to be in if you had to go there. Yeah. And all the people that fucking died. And I mean, the fact that some people even made it out of there is honestly truly fucking miraculous because of the conditions they lived in. And they had the what was the line called again? Do you remember?

SPEAKER_00 44:37

Oh drawing a blank now.

SPEAKER_03 44:40

Yeah, like the fault line. Yeah, they had to stay whatever.

SPEAKER_00 44:44

A line that you did not cross, otherwise you would get shot.

SPEAKER_03 44:47

Exactly. So, no, that was a really uh really interesting episode.

SPEAKER_00 44:51

So yeah, that was good. That was a good one. Um the first Kentucky Derby took place in what year?

SPEAKER_03 45:05

Um 1874.

SPEAKER_02 45:11

So close.

SPEAKER_03 45:12

So 73?

SPEAKER_00 45:14

Higher.

SPEAKER_03 45:16

So 76?

SPEAKER_00 45:17

75. It is 75.

SPEAKER_03 45:20

I fucking should have gone with my gut.

SPEAKER_00 45:22

1875. Look at me go. That was close. You were so close. Yeah. That one is episode 39, Run for the Roses.

SPEAKER_03 45:30

Which, like we said before, is our first actual video. And the funny thing about that video, like video meaning us on video, is my camera fucked up halfway through. And so I went to technical difficulties.

SPEAKER_01 45:45

Do you remember that?

SPEAKER_03 45:46

Yeah, yeah. Um, but Kate even had her uh her her uh fascinator.

SPEAKER_01 45:53

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 45:54

And we also played my uh, I think it's in the pot left here, that racing game and everything, which is funny, which we released as a little short on her a small video. Yeah. But um, the reason why we did the Kentucky Derby is I've always been a big fan of that. I enjoy watching it every year. I like to have my mint juleps. And um I got to share that with Kate, which is great. And uh it's one thing I missed uh with watching with my dad. I used to watch that with my dad a lot, and I'd make him a mint julep and everything. But um, but that that was really fascinating. Some of the early history of the how it pretty much almost failed.

SPEAKER_01 46:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 46:33

And then now it's literally the biggest race of horse racing, uh, bigger than the so it's the big three is you know, the let me see if I can get it.

SPEAKER_00 46:43

Okay, do it Kentucky Doobers first, right? Yep, and then the Prentice.

SPEAKER_03 46:47

Nope. You're close.

SPEAKER_00 46:51

Pre Preakness.

SPEAKER_03 46:52

There it is.

SPEAKER_00 46:53

Preakness. Yep. And then the Belmont.

SPEAKER_03 46:55

Yeah, correct. So that's the Triple Crown. Very hard to do for horses. Um I don't remember the last year we had one. We had one just a bit ago, but like um Secretariat, my favorite horse, won the triple crown.

SPEAKER_00 47:10

Um I made you watch that movie finally.

SPEAKER_03 47:13

You did, yes. And it was a good movie. I enjoyed it.

SPEAKER_00 47:15

I love that movie.

SPEAKER_03 47:16

But um uh I was just nervous because he's my favorite horse. Yeah, you didn't want to be disappointed in the movie and be like, yeah. It wouldn't have changed the fact that I he's my favorite horse. No, but I just was I was nervous, we'll just say that. But uh no, I really I enjoyed that episode. I learned because me being a big fan of the derby, I like learning some of its history that I didn't have any clue about. So yeah, I enjoyed that. So alright. Let's do a uh what was the name of the boat JFK was on in World War II?

SPEAKER_00 47:55

The PT 109.

SPEAKER_03 47:56

All right, and what was the episode title? Oh don't get too excited first, or was it something about a coconut? I mean, technically.

SPEAKER_02 48:10

Technically.

SPEAKER_03 48:11

I mean, yeah. We it was our title was created because of the coconut.

SPEAKER_02 48:18

Because oh I'm just gonna.

SPEAKER_00 48:22

Oh, yeah, yeah. It was like text message something. Tropical text message. Tropical text message.

SPEAKER_03 48:26

Yeah, because it was something that he wrote in uh coconut.

SPEAKER_00 48:31

Also a great episode.

SPEAKER_03 48:33

He did he hit or did it he wrote it. Yeah, okay. I was right.

SPEAKER_00 48:36

He like carved an SOS into a coconut, and that other guy took it.

SPEAKER_03 48:40

That's right. That's right. No, that was interesting because like a lot of people, I mean, especially today, I'm assuming, don't know he was actually in World War II and you know, pro far prior to becoming president and then is assassinated by our own government. So what you can't tell me you don't believe that he was assassinated by our own government.

SPEAKER_00 49:04

We're not gonna get into politics.

SPEAKER_03 49:06

Well, it's not politics, it's conspiracy theories. That is completely fucking different because I don't get into politics either.

SPEAKER_00 49:13

Um what was I gonna oh shit, I was gonna say something. Oh, I that episode, I actually tried to keep the identity of JFK from you, but you knew. I knew, yeah. Yeah, because like we called him Jack. Yeah, Jack. Jack. Jackie Boy.

SPEAKER_03 49:30

Jackie Boy. That's funny.

SPEAKER_00 49:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 49:33

SPEAKER_00 49:35

Okay. I'm going to list a series of codes, and you have to tell me who it's about.

SPEAKER_03 49:42

Oh dear.

SPEAKER_00 49:44

Now, the codes are like 13, but I'm gonna just share five.

SPEAKER_03 49:49

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 49:50

Being shunned brings disgraced disgrace to a family. A member expelled for treachery will not be trusted again, and if they remain in the district are liable to ridicule or beating. Young family members are expected to join up. If a member is arrested, others must be willing to provide an alibi, and members must not aid police in any way. Who am I talking about?

I mean for women to be able to kind of be so elaborate and like core uh coordinate these these heists, if you will, with one going in with their white coat and one another one at the whatever. I mean, that was pretty impressive. So yeah, you if I'm an Amasega, you enjoyed researching that one.

SPEAKER_00 51:21

I did.

SPEAKER_03 51:21

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 51:22

I only have one more after this, so Okay. Um because you we already did po for Morris and he was my last one.

SPEAKER_03 51:31

Well, um I guess I'm just gonna probably do this one though. Nice and easy, but you have to also get the title. Which gang thrived uh during prohibition in Southern Illinois?

SPEAKER_00 51:48

The Shelton Brothers gang.

SPEAKER_03 51:49

Yep, and what was the title of the episode?

SPEAKER_03 52:33

I'm done with my questions. I have one more thing for you, but I am done with my questions.

SPEAKER_00 52:37

I said we're almost done.

SPEAKER_00 1:00:05

Well, I know, but I didn't know you were done with the words. Okay. Let me hear it.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:09

Welcome to another year of Smelly History. Smelly. Where we learn that the that the past is mostly just feet doing their worst. It all began when Pope Formosus decided that history would remember them not for leadership, bravery, or intelligence, but for tripping with their cornea in public. Wow. This decision immediately upset a nearby bobcat, which historians agree was feeling extremely inconsolable that day. Meanwhile, on the Oregon Trail, at least 532 pioneers died after accidentally consuming radium. Oh no. Proving once again that the medical advice from a licensed massage therapist in 1844 should not be trusted. One survivor later described experience as actively shined, but in a foamy way.

SPEAKER_00 1:01:03

A foamy way.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:04

Elsewhere, disaster struck in Ampham Field, when someone thought it was a good idea to test a light bulb that was described in official documents as smooth, but probably fine. It was not fine.

SPEAKER_00 1:01:20

It was not fine.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:21

It fished immediately, and witnesses reported people screaming, why? while throwing sushi at each other. The chaos made a sound, historians later transcribed as volcano eruption, which officially marked the beginning of Tunguska, an event that changed history forever and made everyone involved look like a lintlicker. So that is our buffoon's mad lip for the day.

SPEAKER_00 1:01:49

That's wonderful.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:51

So, anyways, Kate's got a pee.

SPEAKER_00 1:01:54

Oh my god, I have to pee.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:56

Um, I hope people did enjoy our uh our little buffoons chit-chat with some questions that Kate and I got to reminisce about our uh last I don't know, year and a three months give or take.

SPEAKER_00 1:02:10

SPEAKER_03 1:02:16

No, that's a given. Yeah. Yeah, she's she's not what you call a smart woman. But anyways, um we we we we we love her anyways, but no, I don't remember all the shit either. I mean, excuse me, that's why we also film and record and everything. So we can go back and be like, what was that about? A whole lot of shaking.

SPEAKER_00 1:02:37

Like, I need to go back to cadavers and odd to see why we were laughing so hard.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:40
