Eugene Levy. He was born 12/17/1946.
Here's a few quotes from him. At the
end of the day, even if my part
is a bit goofy, the key thing is
that I'm doing what I love to do,
and that's to make people laugh.
He says comedy is all about taking risks
and not being afraid to fail.
(10:53):
Because I've always believed that comedy can bring
people together and bridge divides,
and improvisation is like a form of magic.
You never know where it'll take you. Hey.

Levy with cousin Bruce. Till next week. Hey.

(14:26):
it's time for a bit of Real History
with Bushwacker Bruce.
Right. Hey, Kat. Hey, mates. Bushwacker Bruce here,
and welcome to this week's Big History for
your knowledge pleasure. Did you know a thief
in the seventeen hundreds was also a master
escape artist? It's true, and here's the story.
Jack Shepherd was born in seventeen o two
in Spitalfields, East London. He completed some basic
(14:48):
schooling and worked as a servant for a
woolen draper. In 1770,
he became an apprentice carpenter, where despite his
apparent talents as an apprentice, Shepherd fell under
the influence of the landlord of the Black
Lion Ale House. It was there in 1722
where, faithfully, he met and fell in love
with Elizabeth Lyon, popularly known as Edgeworth Bess.
Claiming to be led astray by bad company
(15:10):
and lewd women, Shepard fell into a life
of crime.
On 1724,
he was arrested for the first time after
committing burglaries with his brother Thomas Shepherd and
his lover Bess. He was sent to the
parish roundhouse of Saint Giles in the fields,
but escaped by breaking a hole through the
roof.
For a second prison escape from new prison
in Clerkenwell
that May, he and Bess scaled a 7.6
(15:32):
meter wall with a rope made from knotted
sheets. Back again on the streets of London,
Shepherd returned to the world at burglary and
highway robbery, but his activities at large caught
the attention of infamous vigilante Jonathan Wilde, the
thief taker general. While Wilde secured Shepherd's arrest,
his third one, on July 23, he was
condemned to death at the Old Bailey Criminal
(15:53):
Courts and sent to the notorious Newgate Prison.
Well, this talented carpenter jailbreaker managed to escape
Newgate Prison not once, but twice. When he
was arrested for the final time on October
31 for burglary in a pawnshop on Drewry
Lane, he had prison guards watching him day
and night. His prison escapades
had earned him celebrity status. Well, while at
(16:14):
Newgate awaiting his execution, Shepherd welcomed many visitors
who paid a fee to the guards to
meet him.
Even the royal artist James Thornhill paid his
1 shilling and sixpence to visit.
His sketches in the collaboration shows Shepherd handcuffed
and alone in the condemned cell.
Shepherd, unable to escape death, was publicly hanged
at Tyburn Gallas on November 16
(16:35):
near where Marble Arch now stands in front
of the huge and sympathetic crowd. Hope you
enjoyed this week's bit of real history with
yours truly, Bushwacker Bruce. Till next time, always
keep it real.
That's good. Time doesn't fail.
(16:56):
I was gonna say that's reinforcing that. Yeah.
Sure.
Just another healthy reminder for That's right. Don't
do it.
Well, before we get into PSAs here, I
also wanted to, let folks know,
January is a special month over at the
Checo Playhouse. The Checo Pelican Players are gonna
be having their annual Packie Awards Ceremony. This
is gonna be on the January 24, a

little early this year. That's a Saturday.

that I'm doing what I love to do,
and that's to make people laugh.
He says comedy is all about taking risks
and not being afraid to fail.

(14:26):
it's time for a bit of Real History
with Bushwacker Bruce.
Right. Hey, Kat. Hey, mates. Bushwacker Bruce here,
and welcome to this week's Big History for
your knowledge pleasure. Did you know a thief
in the seventeen hundreds was also a master
escape artist? It's true, and here's the story.
Jack Shepherd was born in seventeen o two
in Spitalfields, East London. He completed some basic
(14:48):
schooling and worked as a servant for a
woolen draper. In 1770,
he became an apprentice carpenter, where despite his
apparent talents as an apprentice, Shepherd fell under
the influence of the landlord of the Black
Lion Ale House. It was there in 1722
where, faithfully, he met and fell in love
with Elizabeth Lyon, popularly known as Edgeworth Bess.
Claiming to be led astray by bad company
(15:10):
and lewd women, Shepard fell into a life
of crime.
On 1724,
he was arrested for the first time after
committing burglaries with his brother Thomas Shepherd and
his lover Bess. He was sent to the
parish roundhouse of Saint Giles in the fields,
but escaped by breaking a hole through the
roof.
For a second prison escape from new prison
in Clerkenwell
that May, he and Bess scaled a 7.6
(15:32):
meter wall with a rope made from knotted
sheets. Back again on the streets of London,
Shepherd returned to the world at burglary and
highway robbery, but his activities at large caught
the attention of infamous vigilante Jonathan Wilde, the
thief taker general. While Wilde secured Shepherd's arrest,
his third one, on July 23, he was
condemned to death at the Old Bailey Criminal
(15:53):
Courts and sent to the notorious Newgate Prison.
Well, this talented carpenter jailbreaker managed to escape
Newgate Prison not once, but twice. When he
was arrested for the final time on October
31 for burglary in a pawnshop on Drewry
Lane, he had prison guards watching him day
and night. His prison escapades
had earned him celebrity status. Well, while at
(16:14):
Newgate awaiting his execution, Shepherd welcomed many visitors
who paid a fee to the guards to
meet him.
Even the royal artist James Thornhill paid his
1 shilling and sixpence to visit.
His sketches in the collaboration shows Shepherd handcuffed
and alone in the condemned cell.
Shepherd, unable to escape death, was publicly hanged
at Tyburn Gallas on November 16
(16:35):
near where Marble Arch now stands in front
of the huge and sympathetic crowd. Hope you
enjoyed this week's bit of real history with
yours truly, Bushwacker Bruce. Till next time, always
keep it real.
That's good. Time doesn't fail.
(16:56):
I was gonna say that's reinforcing that. Yeah.
Sure.
Just another healthy reminder for That's right. Don't
do it.
Well, before we get into PSAs here, I
also wanted to, let folks know,
January is a special month over at the
Checo Playhouse. The Checo Pelican Players are gonna
be having their annual Packie Awards Ceremony. This
is gonna be on the January 24, a
(17:17):
little early this year. That's a Saturday.
And 6PM is when dinner starts. 7PM is
when they have their annual awards ceremony where
they recognize the, efforts of their actors throughout
the year. And, admission for that, it's open
to the public. It's $15 for people 16
and older, $7 for people 15 years old
and under, and it's free for those who

So just letting folks know that's happening at
the Checo activity center this year. It's gonna
