Ever wondered what happens when the history books close and the microphones stay on? In this special episode, Kate and Bradley pull back the curtain on the History Buffoons podcast, sharing the triumphs, challenges, and occasional beer-fueled mishaps that have shaped their journey over the past eight months.
The conversation meanders through their recent expansion into YouTube videos, with Bradley candidly discussing his evolution from audio to video editing. "We're trying so hard to be continuous and not have a lapse in episodes and social media," Kate explains, capturing their commitment to consistency despite the learning curve. Listeners will appreciate these glimpses into the creative process, including the technical hiccups that happen in a makeshift "pod loft" complete with a noisy mini-fridge that occasionally disrupts recordings.
Through a series of rapid-fire questions, the hosts reveal personal insights that regular listeners will treasure. From debating their favorite historical figures (Elizabeth Bathory and Annie Oakley make surprising appearances on their "drink buddy" list) to mutual agreement that baby thief Georgia Tann earns the title of most despicable historical character they've covered, Kate and Bradley's chemistry shines. Their hypothetical artifacts to steal? Starry Night for personal enjoyment and King Tut's headpiece for profit – choices that reflect their distinct personalities.
The episode closes with exciting announcements about upcoming shows featuring their first-ever guests, deep dives into Rasputin and the mysterious Dyatlov Pass incident, and new platforms including Pinterest boards with episode sources. Whether you're a longtime listener or new to the buffoonery, this behind-the-scenes look showcases the authentic passion driving this growing historical podcast. Have beer suggestions, historical topics, or favorite idioms? The hosts are eager to hear from you – because at History Buffoons, the conversation never stops.

but we sure pick ourselves upagain.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Well, I mean, we're still pretty new to doing this.
Yes, we've been more or lessdoing this for a year, and then
we started releasing inSeptember but, we're still
learning what the hell to do.

actual YouTube videos of us.

Yeah, go look us up.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
There's lots of those throughout the episodes.
Go look us up on youtubehistory ruffians podcast.

That's been kind of interesting, because not only did I have to
learn how to edit audio, now Ilearned how to edit video yeah,
and you're doing a great jobthank you.
I appreciate that.
I do like the feedback becauseI always feel like I could do
(03:26):
better and I recently reachedout to Al for his insight and
that's why our last video had alittle bit of a format change.
I don't know what's best forpeople.
I don't know what everybodylikes.
Who knows?
Maybe some people who like theold format are like why'd they
change it?
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
I I like the last one a little better.
Yeah, I think it's a littlemore, I don't know.

Yeah, like I wouldn't want tolike redo the video to a new
format, like.
No, I like our progression ofwhat?
Speaker 1 (04:03):
we used to do and you've always said that too with
um, with like, our audio, evenlike, and our overall episodes.
We've gotten, I feel, betterover the months we've been doing

demat him right.
Um, but they all love it okay,that's good, that's a plus yeah,
(06:27):
um, bonnie and amos are shorthair and they're getting mats.
I think they're just.
I think we feed them too welland they aren't even fee

That's the one, um, but I thinkthey're getting too big to like
(06:48):
clean themselves, cleanthemselves yeah, so like right
above their tail, and sometimestheir sides are getting matted.
Um, so the brush is actuallydoing pretty good, but after I

Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Um on the counter and I was like I was like there's
no other toy here.
It's not in a labeled box oranything, but it's like kind of
springy and it's really reallytall, long, kind of springy and
it's really really tall, long,and so I put it above our um,

Right, right, but if it is, Idon't know, all over the place.
They're like I got to get itLike laser, the laser pointer.
Yeah, your cats do like that.
I think I've done a laserpointer for my cats.

Yes, so, um, I've got a couplequestions for you, okay um
actually we came up withquestions just to kind of make
(09:20):
this an entertaining,entertaining episode with a
little bit of flow.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Yeah, a little bit of flow, so it's not just us
shooting the shit.
Yeah, we're just not all offthe cuff.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
A little bit of structure if you will, off the
cuff, that's an idiom.
You have no idea how manyidioms I hear all day, every day
now.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
No, I do.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
I send them to you, you message me them.
Or I'll type you one and belike oh, I thought of another.
That's very similar.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
And it's gotten to the point where I used to be
like got it, it's on the list.
Now I'm just like, yep, I don'teven respond to them, you don't
.
I'm like, yeah, I would hopeyou know that eventually they'll
be on the list.
Yeah, no, that doesn't botherme.
I figured not.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
So I have an answer to this question.
Yeah, and I want to know, ifyou do, what's the weirdest beer
you've tried on the show, andwould you drink it again?
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Oh geez, I feel like a lot of the beers that I've
gone to are like just IPAs.
There are some that I'm like,eh, it wasn't bad per se Stuff
that you wouldn't normally buy,Right?
Speaker 2 (10:27):
that's what I'm trying to remember, but you did
for me or for a theme, orwhatever I'm trying to remember.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
I would be good not to do the Seagrams again.
I've had those in my past life.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Was that the Jamaican Me Happy or something yeah?
Speaker 1 (10:39):
It's just, I don't know, a little too sweet for me
A wine cooler type.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
So I guess if I had to pick one, I wouldn't do that.
Yeah, just, it's too sweet forme in my old age.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
But it's still good it wasn't bad.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Yeah, I mean there was a time I remember I mean
we're talking like 20 plus yearsago where they used to do this
deal where you get like six,four packs of seagrams, escapes,
uh, for whatever low price orwhatever what the hell it was.
So you get a whole bunch offlavors and I drank the shit out
of them.
But I was also in like my early20s right I wasn't really even a
(11:13):
beer drinker when I started inthe beer business in my early
20s.
I didn't drink beer.
I drank mike's hard lemonaderight, or some a smattering of
other similar and then zima I.
The first zima I ever had andyes, I was underage was when I
was 14.
Yeah, I was 14 in californiathe day before going to the rose
(11:37):
bowl when the wisconsin badgersplayed ucla and one it's weird
that you remember all this shit.
Yeah, well okay, I've explainedthis to you before.
I associate a lot of my memorywith events and then, of course,
dates.
I know that the Rose Bowl wasplayed on January 1st every year
and I remember how old I was.
We were also shotgunning MillerGenuine Drafts in my dad's
(12:01):
buddy's kitchen With him, withmy dad's buddy, my dad already,
with my dad's buddy.
My dad already went to bedbecause he was old back then,
even just kidding, um and uh, sowe're with and I consider him a
friend too, uh, him and hisdaughters, who his youngest is,
I think, seven years older thanme.
Um, and then I remember westarted walking to her friend's
(12:24):
house, like me and my twobrothers, and her and her friend
, I think, her I don't rememberif her sister was there, but uh,
all of a sudden, mary jo, whichis, uh, the, the wife of the,
our, our family friends, shecomes running.
Your dad wants you guys to comeback right now.
Oh, shit, okay.
(12:45):
And then we went to the rosebowl parade the next morning
very nice yeah, when you're 14,you don't care for it um the
weirdest beer I've had on theshow.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
It's not really the weirdest beer, it's the the one
beer that I you definitely didnot like and I didn't.
I would not have it again.
It's the brand is kiwina, yeahwhat was?
Speaker 1 (13:06):
what was the?
Speaker 2 (13:07):
it was green, it had like a maiden on the front.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Yeah I don't remember the exact um but I couldn't.
Oh, you had you struggled usthrough that real bad.
I remember every sip you took.
You're like basically I knowbut it was there, so you know
well, yeah, it would have beenalcohol abuse if I but it's
funny because you also had abackup modelo and I'm like just
go to that.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
I know.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Go to the go-to, but I get it.
You didn't want to, I don'tknow, waste it, I suppose.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Yeah and carbless.
If you could redo one episode,which would it be and why?
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Well, it's one we haven't released for a good
reason it doesn't sound prettywell.
Okay, I was basically readingverbatim my story so the episode
that I'm talking about is wedid one on the Chicago Fire very
early on in our developing.
(14:07):
What kind of style and theformat and so on.
I thought it was really good.
So basically, we changed alittle bit of our format to be
like, if you break it down, kateteaches me something is what it
is.
Do I know it sometimes?
Yes, do I not know it A lot ofthe times?
No, I do I know it sometimes,yes, do I don't not know it a
lot of the times?
No, I don't know it.
(14:27):
Um so early on, when we triedto do this, start this, I should
say I actually did some of myown research as well, for random
facts, that's right, yeah, yeahand which was cool because you
know I was able to add in.
But again I almost felt like, soI had, I typed them out as well
(14:47):
.
And you're like, oh hey, by theway, did you know about bub?
And it's like this sounds sorobotic yeah, it wasn't organic
no, it didn't feel like having aconversation, so we kind of
retooled our format and did that, but it was a good episode.
I enjoyed the.
The topic I always like hearingabout chicago burning so um but
(15:11):
, um, I mean, am I wrong?
no, jesus christ, but um no, itwas.
It was a good episode.
I just it wasn't what we do nowand I'm not really sad about it
.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Maybe we'll redo that one in the future because it is
a good historical story.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Yeah, and then I can be happy because Chicago's
burning all over again whathistorical figure that we've
covered so far.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
would you invite out for drinks?
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Probably Elizabeth Bathory.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Why.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Because we can have some vampire drinks, some blood
drinks, blood drinks like a,like a red red ale or I don't
know.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
I mean not actual blood drinks, right a red ale,
or if, if she was cosmo right,or um a um shirley temple oh,
she was yeah, if she was not.
I remember my parents.
We were out somewhere and theywere ordering drinks for all of
(16:18):
us and my sister and I wereyoung, right, and I don't know
if they were like suggestingsodas or what and we just
weren't having it, sure, but mymom was like, oh, can you do
this they're gonna do a ShirleyTemple and it was the very first
time I ever had a ShirleyTemple and I was like, okay.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
So my, I remember my.
My parents would take us out tothese nicer restaurants all the
time when we were little.
There's this one in particular.
I'm, of course, spacing on thedamn name of it.
I could take you there rightnow.
It'd be a drive because it'sfurther north.
But um, uh, we didn't call themshirley temple.
I knew that's what they werecalled, but we just all call
always call them kitty cocktailsyeah, I've heard of it too, but
(16:56):
I definitely grew up withshirley temple as the name for
him.
I didn't know, they were calledthat for a while after because
my dad just do you want a kittycocktail and it's just what.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Like a sprite with uh , grenadine, yeah, that's all it
is so we always thought we werefancy yeah, exactly I got to
have a cocktail with my dad orlike girl, like when you were
young and you had a root beer.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
You're like I'm having a beer, yeah, yeah
exactly yeah and it's funnybecause vesper now I so I have
you've seen, inside my fridge Ihave got like those soda sleeves
or whatever you want to callthem um, and so she likes to
grab data soda a lot yeah butshe also knows that I have a
(17:35):
beer fridge too down there, andshe's like one time she goes to
me dad, do you want a beer?
I want to get you a beer that'sso sweet.
Well, thanks, sweetheart.
But then and so I was I washaving a beer, I don't know.
Within the last week or so shegoes how's your soda, you like
your soda, like yep, it's a beer, but yep, I do like my soda.
(17:56):
So it's kind of funny.
She doesn't, can'tdifferentiate them all the time
but yeah no it's cute, it'sunderstandable.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
She's too so I don't know what historical figure I
would invite out to drink.
Actually, you know who I wouldwhat's that?
It would be annie oakley.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
She seems like she would be cool okay, I, I
answered elizabeth, but that wasthe other was it in my brain
okay, okay, so we'll all just go, yeah, we'll all go we'll have
elizabeth annie.
You me.
Yeah, we'll go to the bar, getsome, some Shirley Temples, get
some whiskey, whatever.
I don't remember in the episodeDid she drink, I wonder?
Speaker 2 (18:30):
I don't remember, I'm not sure, if that- ever came up
.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
But yeah, I thought she might be interesting just
because of who she is andwhatever, what she kind of did
for for a living is really Idon't know, entertainment it is.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
I mean she was in the entertainment business.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
So what beer would I order for her?
Yeah, or it can be a cocktailtoo, but if you had a beer, I
feel like she'd like a whiskey.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Neat yeah, something, let's, let's go with that.
Yeah, let's go with that.
Okay, so I already know theanswer to this question, because
we've talked about it so manytimes what is a hilarious
blooper that hasn't beenreleased?
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Okay, so it's not really a blooper per se, it's
kind of a blooper.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
In a way, it's a combination of, it's a burping
reel.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Yes, so, um, and the funny thing is so I think we've
we've mentioned this briefly onone of the episodes.
Depending on if a certain thinghappens for the podcast, I
actually get to release this.
Um, but the funny thing is allof them came from the same
episode no, yes I swear to godgod, what episode do you
(19:43):
remember?
Speaker 2 (19:43):
I'm trying to blank.
I'd have to look at the datestamp.
It's not but so I hate that itall came from one episode.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Well, and that's the funny thing is because like if I
went through all the episodesI'd have so many to do.
But the beautiful thing is Ican do maybe a sequel.
So basically what I did is whenI was editing.
I think this is, but there wasbefore I had to do video, so I
probably wouldn't have wastedthe time because I got to go do
(20:11):
the video now.
Yeah, Kate likes to burp.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Do I like to.
It's a good release, but no, itjust happens.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Kate burps a lot.
Okay, let's rephrase it.
Okay, I'll allow that one, I'llallow it.
So it is the bubbles, thecombination.
So I jokingly said once I'mgonna make a compilation of
burps, which then turned into memaking a burp track.
So I took a couple from thatepisode and created a song where
(20:42):
it's just um, kate burping, andyou say sorry once, because I
thought that was funny.
Because, you said sorry rightafterwards.
So if a certain somethinghappens for the podcast, I get
to release that and we will tellyou when that happens.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
When the certain something happens, we will also
tell you.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
We'll probably do a video for it.
Maybe we'll do a watch.
Watch like a video, where youget to react to it.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
I mean, you've heard it, but it's been a while it's
been a while okay, I'm gonna letyou ask me that next question
because it kind of pertains moreto me than yeah, yeah uh, which
episode surprised you the mostduring research and or recording
?
Speaker 1 (21:22):
obviously that's.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
I think that's geared more towards research, but yeah
um, so it was actually aboutmarie antoinette, so one of our
most recent episodes I mean it'salso more fresh in my mind I'm
also reading a book about heryeah, that's true yeah.
So she's very, very much in mymind right now, and I have yet
to watch the kirsten Dunst movie.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Marie.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Antoinette, which is on my list now, yep, but it
really surprised me that sheactually wasn't a cunt.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Did you just always assume that she was?
Yeah, just because of how shewas portrayed and everything.
Yes, okay.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
So it was portrayed as people absolutely hating her
and her just not giving a shitand ended up being Not the case
at all.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
I feel like she was a little bit more misunderstood.
Sure, she was thrust intosociety and made to be a certain
way.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Well, didn't she, if I remember correctly, wasn't
part of it?
At the border of France, theystripped her of all of her
clothes and put her in theseFrench clothes and everything to
be presentable.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
So I mean look at that.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
She didn't do that.
They did that to her.
Yeah, so I mean, she was whatagain?
14?
She was 14.
Yeah, that's crazy, beingthrust into that life quite wild
.
Thrust into that life, quitewild.
So and it's.
It's funny how, throughouthistory, how you know, people
are portrayed a certain way whenthey're really not even close
to being that way.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Like I'm not saying there weren't problems.
Oh, of course that you knowsomething that she would do or
say, or or ignore whateverdollhouse that she had for
herself yeah, which was amansion to one of us, yeah, but
so I mean like there weredefinitely some issues,
especially with their finances,right um, but as a human person,
she wasn't bad, no okay, yeahso I think that kind of
(23:15):
surprised me the most because Ihad this inkling right.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
You know of who she was oh no, you had a
preconceived notionpreconceconceived notion Exactly
.
So I can totally understandthat.
I mean there's a lot of peoplethroughout history who are like
wow, I thought that dude was anasshole.
Turns out he wasn't a greatperson, but maybe he was better
than you thought.
Or history spun it this wayRight, for sure, but yeah, you
(23:44):
want me to ask this one too.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Sure, let's do it.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Okay, if the podcast only went viral, what's the
first ridiculous merch item youwould insist we sell.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Copies of my painting .
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Can they be hand-numbered?
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Hand-numbered.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Yeah, I mean it adds more of a flair to it Like one
out of 500 or something.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Yeah, okay.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
I mean right.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
I mean, if we're making shit up, yeah I was just
taking sweatshirts, but eitherway that's not a ridiculous
merch item okay, so we're goingridiculous yeah, ridiculous
history buffoons, beer, steins,that's fun with the lid, even
like old german style.
Those would be fucking cool.
You know what would happen tome?
Speaker 1 (24:33):
you would forget that it's the lids on and try to
drink it.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
No, I would hit it you're gonna hit your face and
then I come up and accidentally,like accidentally lift it or
accidentally move it, and itwould like pop on my nose I
could see that yeah, me too.
Have you?
This is, I guess, a questionfor me.
Have I ever pretended to knowmore about a topic than I
actually did?
Yes, I will say something andbe like no, I don't think that
(25:00):
was right.
Well, after the fact though,really oh yeah, like you'll ask
me a question, I'm like I knowthe answer to this and it's such
and such and like no're, likeno, I don't think that's right.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
So I may have received false information.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Unfortunately, yeah Well, I am not a research
enthusiast.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
You do it because we like doing this.
Yes, we are by no meansfull-blown historians.
That's why we're called historybuffoons.
Even being history buffs was astretch.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
We had to put the oon in there, okay so in the last,
one of these last episodes ofmarie antoinette, I said that
versailles was like 20 milesaway from paris okay when I
heard it back, I'm like no, it'sLike in my head I think it was
12 miles and I was just likeconfidently, 20 miles yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
So this is a good, good, good point to a chance to
point out that it's kind of likeagain, the telephone game.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Things get embellished through storytelling
Yep Sure does Things getembellished?
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Embellished Through storytelling.
Yep, sure does, it was like 20miles.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
I mean next time we do Marie Antoinette it's going
to be 50.
Who knows?
Speaker 2 (26:20):
We don't know, not sure why we'd do it again, but
who knows, okay, whichhistorical event that we've
covered would you?
Actually want to experiencefirsthand.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
As a fly on the wall.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Yeah, as a fly on the wall, because we've done a lot
of depressing stuff, yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
So I would not want to be in a lot of depressing
situations.
However, for some reason Iwould want to be a fly on the
wall and see how charleslightoller made it through every
fucking ship sinking.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Oh my gosh, if you have not listened to the Charles
Lightoller episode.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Seriously, I sink ships.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
It's not called I Sink.
Ships no but that was atentative title when we were
recording it.
It was a title because he wason a lot of ship sinkings.
It was called Smack Dabble, itsure was.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
But I would be super curious to observe him Just be
like dude.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
What is happening?
Speaker 1 (27:14):
I mean from the sinking of the Titanic all the
way to rescuing people atDunkirk.
Yeah, it would just be superinteresting to see.
Like, how the fuck did this guymake it this far?
Yeah, Because you were onliterally a boatload of ships.
Let's see what I did there thatsink, and it's like you're
still alive, Still kicking.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
I mean that ships I see what I did there that sink,
and it's like you're still alive, still still kicking.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
I mean that's fucking impressive, yeah, so I think
that's one that I would pick.
Do you have one that you wouldpick?
Speaker 2 (27:39):
I, I do.
I think I would want to be afly on a tree okay and discover
what happened to the roman oakcolony oh, yes, for sure.
Like actually happened, Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
I mean when we did that.
It still points to they justassimilated.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
With the natives.
Yeah, yeah, with that.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
I forget the name of the tribe right now.
Yeah, what their name was.
But yeah, I'm pretty surethat's.
I mean that's what it points to, at least from my observation.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Again, I am no uh expert, but uh, yeah, yeah we
think, we know, but there's just, there's just so many what ifs
that it could potentially besomething else could potentially
correct.
What's the saying like if it's,if it's got hooves, think of a
horse, not a zebra or whateverI've never heard that before.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Is that an idiom or just a saying?
Is that really a thing?
Speaker 2 (28:34):
I know I didn't make it up.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Really no.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
I didn't.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Oh man, because it sounds made up.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
If it has stripes, it's a, you know it's.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Well, because yeah, horses don't have stripes,
zebras do.
I want to look it up Is a zebraconsidered a horse?
Speaker 2 (28:51):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
You say that with such disdain Like why would you
ask me that?
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Why wouldn't you already know that?
Okay, what's the saying abouthooves and zebras?
I've said this many times onthis podcast, but this is
podcast gold.
When you hear hoof beats, thinkhorses, not zebras.
Basically think the mostobvious answer.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
I'm sorry, but I never would have thought zebra.
There's a song I'm trying toblank on the title of it, but
they, because it's's aboutdeborah, but they call, so they
to write something with deborah.
They say zebra.
It's in, uh, the movie babydriver, which I love that movie.
I haven't seen that one, it'sso good, but um, yeah, it's
(29:43):
deborah zebra anyways.
Yeah, why the fuck would youthink of zebra first, or at all?
Speaker 2 (29:48):
that's what.
That's what the saying is aboutyou would think about the most
obvious, not the something thatyou wouldn't ever think about,
but that's my point and that'sthe point of the saying Bradley,
Unless you live in Africa, youwouldn't go zebra first.
We're going to rapid fire here.
Okay, best historical beard.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Rasputin.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
We haven't done an episode on him.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
No, but we'll talk about that later.
Who else has a beard that we'vedone an episode on.
That's a great question, holyshitballs, I don't think we
really have.
Nothing of note, at least.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Nothing of note, yeah .
Speaker 1 (30:24):
I'd say I have a pretty good beard.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
You do have an epic beard.
Thank you, yes.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
I've been growing it for a while now.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Historical figure you trust to babysit your dog or
cats.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
You have cats, I have cats yeah, I don't have a dog
anymore.
Rip Maximus.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Historical figure you trust to babysit your dog.
Oh boy.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Well, that's a great question.
I don't know.
I know Probably not GeorgiaTann.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
She'll probably Traffic him or something Traffic
him yeah, bitch.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
So it's.
Who would I want to watch mydog?
Yeah, who would you trust?
Who would I trust?
Probably the Sullivan brothers.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
If they made it through.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
So are we talking from our own podcast history To
what I trust, to probably theSullivan brothers Okay, if they
made it through.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
So are we talking from our own podcast history, or
are we talking?
I guess in my brain that'swhere my head went.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Because I could think of a good answer that has not
been talked about on our podcast.
And who?
Speaker 1 (31:28):
would that be?
Speaker 2 (31:28):
Betty White.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
Oh, fuck yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
She was such a big animal advocate.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
She really was, and she was funny as as hell.
She could make the dog laugh,probably, so, probably, um, she
was great betty white is iconic.
Maybe she's watching my dogright now up in heaven, or
whatever you believe in okay,from our episodes.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
Okay, what is your least favorite historical figure
?
Speaker 1 (31:53):
oh boy, georgia tan, georgia tan, she was a super
cunt.
I did not like what she did toall those kids no no, she was
pretty shitty she never got hercomeuppance either.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
No, she died before.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
Really fucking irritating.
I don't like that she never hadto pay for what she did to all
those kids.
Um, I guess me being a father,that kind of weighs a little bit
in my brain if um you have notlistened to that episode, it's
called the tale of the babythief.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
It's our sixth episode yeah, pretty early on.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
So we've we've gotten better since then yeah and the
sound has gotten better too.
You're, you're welcome.
It took me a while I got better.
Oh, absolutely.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
Okay, least favorite historical figure oh boy.
Yeah, I would probably agreewith Georgia Tann.
Yeah, she's pretty awful.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
I can't think of another one out of the ones
we've done.
That just jumps to mind rightaway.
Same, but it's pretty much her,because of those poor,
unfortunate kids I almost saidpoor unfortunate souls.
Just like from the LittleMermaid.
But I caught myself.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
Yeah, that's probably the one who I would go with.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Yeah, she's pretty fucking awful.
No, she's terrible, yeah, okay.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Anyways.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
I don't know if we could answer this one.
Is there a beer that you lovedand I hated, or vice versa?
Oh, I don't think.
Well, we haven't done a ton ofbeers that were the same.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
No, we've done a few, like we recently did the uh,
some the citrus, uh, ale,whatever the hell, it was called
pseudo citrus, summer citrus,right, summer citrus.
It was good.
I wish it was colder, um yeah,but it was still good.
So I know, obviously that wasvery recent, so we and that was
our fault.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
We already know that it's a good beer.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
Yeah, we did so I.
I thought it would be colder.
I put ice in my cooler, thoughtit would keep it cold enough,
but it didn't.
But we don't do some.
A lot of times we try and mixit up, so we don't do the same
beer.
Yes, we have, like today we'vedone Summer Shandy, but that's a
go-to, you know it's just basic.
I love Summer Shandy becauseit's my basic beer.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
But for in terms of like other more elaborate ones
we've sampled, we don't reallygo.
I really like ipas you don't,yeah, you don't mind.
Some like you like the foundersall day ipa and stuff like that
.
But a lot of the ipas I like,like that maharaja one that al
suggested for me, I probablywouldn't.
You would hate that.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
That was fucking delicious okay, so let's switch
up the question.
Out of everything that you havetasted, yeah, what is your
favorite?
Speaker 1 (34:34):
and you cannot say summer shandy no, I'd probably
pick that maharaja, okay, yeah Ithink I would pick fresh coast
from three sheeps okay that onewas delicious yeah, the maharaj
is from avery, that's one ofal's beer, so he knew it very
well that he, he uh works for.
But, um, he did not disappointin that suggestion.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
So oh, thunder punch from kerny, nebraska our friend
tara came through.
That was you drank my beer.
You drank them all.
Okay, I'd like to point out.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
There's been multiple , multiple times that I've left
beer at your house expecting tohave it the next time I'm there.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
From Kearney, Nebraska?
No, From how many states away?
Speaker 1 (35:24):
I'm not talking about oh okay, do you want to get
specific, Probably differentstates, not just Wisconsin?
I don't buy only Wisconsin beer.
All I'm saying is is beersdisappear the next time we come
to record.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
it's like okay, but these beers you can repurchase
here here's the thing thunderpunch, you cannot I can throw
them up if you'd like.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
They might still be in my system.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
Yeah, exactly so bradley, we're moving on from
this.
Please do.
Weirdest historical fad, fadyou secretly wish would come
back oh boy, I think we shouldbring back zoot, suits those are
pretty awesome.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
I mean, I could without the stigma let's bring
it back maybe I should buy onewithout the stigma do you think
there's a local zoot suit shopin the town that I could go to
Cat hair?
Jesus, you're not even nearyour cats and you're pulling in
cats.
That's impressive.
I know I'm out of my beer.
Yeah, so am I, and I don'treally want to get up again
(36:23):
because that was a fucking chore.
It's a chore.
No, I'd say zoot suits.
I don't like.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
Yeah, those are I, no , I'd say zoot suits, I don't
like.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
Yeah, I mean it's a fad, I guess fashion fad, yeah,
I can't think of anything elseis there anything you can think
of.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
I mean, no, I think that's pretty good.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
Yeah, I like it, I like, I like, I like the zoot
suits yeah, I like it, yeah, ohdid you just think of one?
Speaker 2 (36:49):
what if we went back to annieioch and we brought back
the Wild West show?
Speaker 1 (36:56):
I mean, that would be kind of cool.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
That would be cool.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
I feel like I mean, is medieval times still a thing?
Yeah, Is it.
I went to that once like a longtime ago.
But I feel like we can do aWild West show again, similar to
a style like that.
What what they used to doexactly but the problem is now
like I don't know, can peopleshoot like her?
Speaker 2 (37:22):
I'm sure there's somebody out there.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
I'm sure there's quite a few that actually could.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
Okay, this one might be hard.
What's that?
Okay, you're, we're inventing ahistory.
Buffoons beer okay what wouldit be called?
Speaker 1 (37:38):
oh boy, I know, I know it's a hard one because I
feel like it's specific to what,maybe what style it is too okay
, because.
Because you like lagers.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
I was thinking something like along the lines
of buffoonery, buffoonery,brewery, buffoonery.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
Right, but what would the name of the actual beer be?
Speaker 2 (38:04):
I don't know that one's a hard one.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
It's not a part of my research.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
Yeah, ha, I see what you did there.
I was just like no, it wasn'tHa.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
Yeah, you see what you did there, I was just like
no, it wasn't, I think.
I think my first beer would bethat's not a part of my research
ale, which would be an indiapale ale or no, we'll do a
session uh, pale ale, so you candrink it too, because you know
it's not part of your research Ithink that's what I would do.
Should we do also a companion,do a do a well blogger and a I
(38:38):
suppose.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
Ale right, and I was thinking of a, a whole.
Speaker 1 (38:41):
Uh, hey there or like the one episode ohis, that's,
I'm like who's hollis and oh hey, there hellis I like that.
(39:08):
Yep, let's do that okay yeah,wow, we're coming up, uh, with
the variety pack real quick, allof a sudden, okay okay, we're
gonna talk in reference to someof our past episodes okay do you
remember utsy the ice man?
Speaker 2 (39:25):
I do, okay.
What episode was he?
He was number um eight yeah, hewas our episode 8.
His last meal was probably deermeat or something like that.
If you knew today was your last, what would be your last meal
choice?
Be, oh boy, you're on death row, man.
(39:47):
What's your meal?
What's your last meal?
Speaker 1 (39:51):
Because there's so many things I like.
It's like do you go?
I want a steak or somethinglike that.
Fuck, but I like pizza likepasta, I like shrimp like
lobster.
Can I have all of them?
Speaker 2 (40:03):
fuck, yeah, you can.
Speaker 1 (40:04):
So yeah, I'd probably go with.
Speaker 2 (40:07):
Uh, there's something in my eye I'm sorry if people
are freaky with their eyes, butokay.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
I can always edit that out.
I think I'd probably gosomething with shrimp, because I
love shrimp you make a goodshrimp pasta so shrimp, alfredo,
I came up with what was it.
She said surf and turf, whichis basically I came up with what
was it.
She said, obviously, you know,like surf and turf.
Speaker 2 (40:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (40:36):
Which is basically, you know, usually referred to as
like beef and seafood kind ofthing.
Obviously, turf can be morethan just beef or whatever steak
or whatever it would be.
What the hell did Sarah say?
Because I was thinking aboutlike trying to add chicken to
(40:59):
that because it's so good.
I just feel like chicken wouldbe a nice addition to it as well
.
And she, uh she came up withsomething.
I'm just drawing a fuckingblank.
It was fucking amazing like,like a fishy poultry, something
dish yeah, it was like, yeah,clucking something or other,
whatever, I'm trying to rememberhow.
Maybe it'll come back to me.
I'm kind of disappointed.
I don't remember what she said.
No, it was hilarious.
Uh, so I'd probably do like ashrimp alfredo type thing, like
(41:20):
what I make, and then probably asteak or something like that,
if I had to have a last meal,kind of thing yeah with a pizza
for dessert, and then thosemolasses cookies.
Those are so good, oh my godlet's see.
Speaker 2 (41:36):
I would probably go with sushi from a reputable
place oh yeah gotta specify thatnot from a gas station.
Speaker 1 (41:44):
Nope, that's been sitting there for a week I would
do a philadelphia raw what isthat?
Speaker 2 (41:50):
I'm not familiar with sushi, so it's raw salmon with
avocado and cream cheese.
Speaker 1 (41:58):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (41:59):
And I say raw because there are occasionally some
that are cooked, some are cooked, or whatever, yeah, okay, so I
would say raw.
Speaker 1 (42:07):
Gotcha.
Speaker 2 (42:07):
Philadelphia raw is my favorite.
Is it really?
Oh, my God.
Speaker 1 (42:11):
It's my favorite, yeah, so that's all you'd go
with give me three rolls, I'mset.
Speaker 2 (42:16):
Wow, maybe some crab or goon.
Oh, fuck you fuck.
Speaker 1 (42:20):
Yeah, sorry, let's go get sushi can I get, uh, what I
want yes, what you want yes,perfect, all right, fair enough
okay, if Okay, if Ootsie had aYelp.
Jesus Christ.
Speaker 2 (42:35):
What would his one-star review of the Alps be,
which is where he died?
Speaker 1 (42:41):
Okay.
Went to the Alps.
I died One star.
Fuck.
I didn't know death was on themenu.
Speaker 2 (42:48):
I mean fuck, I didn't know death was on the menu up
here.
One star, I'm being followed.
One star, yeah.
Speaker 1 (42:55):
I'm being fuck.
I didn't know death was on themenu up here.
One star.
I'm being followed.
Speaker 2 (42:59):
One star.
Speaker 1 (43:00):
Yeah, I'm being hunted.
The hunter became the hunty.
I mean, fuck yeah, I'm prettysure he would not leave a
favorable review.
Too cold, too cold.
Service was terrible, too coldand I died.
I died.
Speaker 2 (43:12):
Okay, okay, okay, I like this one, I like this one.
All right, we're racing in thederby, yeah, and your horse runs
away.
What historical animal are yougoing to replace it with?
You can't say like.
Speaker 1 (43:25):
A griffin.
Speaker 2 (43:26):
Zebra A zebra A zebra .
A what?
Speaker 1 (43:31):
A griffin.
Speaker 2 (43:32):
Like from Harry Potter.
Speaker 1 (43:33):
Yeah, kind of like Gryffindor, but not the door
More griffiny.
You said historical Mine'smythical.
Speaker 2 (43:40):
Yeah, okay, so it's a flying animal.
Speaker 1 (43:44):
Is that fair, but it's also.
Well, you didn't say it had tobe fair, but we're at the Derby,
all right, but we're at thederby, all right.
Then a Pegasus?
No, they still have wings.
I know they do so okay.
Speaker 2 (43:58):
I think you're cheating.
Speaker 1 (44:00):
I think the horse would be, not me.
Speaker 2 (44:01):
You know what I would choose?
Speaker 1 (44:02):
What A fucking cheetah I mean, I'd probably do
a jaguar well, I'd still beatyou because cheaters are faster
do you know that for a fact?
Yes was that part of yourresearch?
Shut up, was that that was notpart of your research?
Ale?
Speaker 2 (44:21):
you asked me the next question then um all right.
Speaker 1 (44:28):
Which modern day celebrity would best play the
lead in a krakatoa disastermovie?
Speaker 2 (44:32):
can I not say pierce brosden, because he was in
dante's peak oh, he was, that'sright yeah oh man, I haven't.

Yeah, um, okay, okay, okay.
What about Mark?
Speaker 1 (44:57):

storm.
Speaker 1 (45:05):
And he was good.
I saw that in the theater.
Speaker 2 (45:07):
It was really good.
It's really sad.
Speaker 1 (45:09):
Well, yeah, I mean, they all die.
Speaker 2 (45:11):
But he's handsome, but not like stunning, you know.
Speaker 1 (45:16):
Did you ever see what's his name from?
He was on Saturday Night Livefor a while.
He does other stuff.
I was Andy Samberg.
Is that the right guy I'mthinking of?
He does his Mark Wahlbergimpersonation.
I don't think so.
It's fucking hilarious.
Speaker 2 (45:28):
I don't think so I'll have to show you a video of
that, but I think Mark Wahlbergwould be pretty good in this
kind of an action movie.
Speaker 1 (45:35):
Do you think he would bring the Funky Bunch with him?
Speaker 2 (45:38):
I don't know that reference.
Speaker 1 (45:39):
Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch.
He was a rapper before he wasan actor.
That's just weird.
He was in what is it?
Calvin Klein ads and stuff.
Speaker 2 (45:48):
That's probably why I'm picturing him in a wife
beater right now.
Speaker 1 (45:51):
And his white tighty whities.
I mean, that's what the ad was.
Yeah, wow, Burp track.
Anyways, yeah, I think I mightgo.
Tom Hardy.
Speaker 2 (46:06):
Ooh, I love Tom Hardy .
Speaker 1 (46:08):
He's such a good actor.
Ooh, I love Tom Hardy.
He's such a good actor.
Speaker 2 (46:11):
Ooh, I like, yeah, Me likey, yeah, he would be
excellent.
Ooh, what about Idris Elba?
I love him too.
He's so good yeah he's great.
Speaker 1 (46:25):
Yeah, I like him as a .
I like his voice.
Oh yeah, the way he talks.
Yeah, he like him as a.
I like his voice.
Speaker 2 (46:30):
Oh yeah, the way he talks.
Yeah, he's got a great voiceBecause he is from England right
, If I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 1 (46:34):
I think so, but well, you know he has to be, because
he was actually rumored to be upfor the James Bond role.
At least I don't know if hestill is, at least at one point
he was.
Yeah, I really like him too.
Speaker 2 (46:45):
He's pretty good, yeah, he would be excellent too.
Okay, moving on.
Speaker 1 (46:48):
Well, I have to say, I feel like if we picked Jason
Statham, he'd probably justpunch the volcano into
submission.
Speaker 2 (46:53):
Probably.
Speaker 1 (46:54):
I love Jason Statham.
Speaker 2 (46:55):
I do too.
Yeah, he's great too.
Speaker 1 (46:57):
Especially in Snatch and Lock Stock and Two Smoking
Barrels.
Great movies Anyways.
Speaker 2 (47:01):
Okay, the Mona Lisa theft.
Okay, if you could successfullysteal any historical artifact
and get away with it, what wouldyou take?
And now, are we selling thisartifact or are we just keeping
it for personal possession?
Speaker 1 (47:17):
Well, I mean, I guess it could be a two-parter.
Okay.
So personal possession, whatwould you do?
What the hell is it called?
It's got a specific name, Ithink, but the headpiece thing
that King Tut wore in hissarcophagus, oh nice.
That would be for me, thatwould be for you.
Speaker 2 (47:40):
That would be fucking cool.
That would be cool, yeah, okay,what?
Speaker 1 (47:43):
is that called?
Do you know what I'm talkingabout?
It's not so much even hissarcophagus, because that's very
well known and pictured.
Didn't he also had a headpiecetype thing over him, if I'm not
mistaken?
Speaker 2 (47:53):
Yeah, I don't think I know the name of it.
Speaker 1 (47:55):
Or I'm getting it mixed up with the sarcophagus,
but I'm pretty sure I'm right onthis.
Speaker 2 (47:59):
Yeah, I don't know, that would be cool.
Speaker 1 (48:03):
That'd be kind of neat.
Yeah, oh boy, that's a greatquestion.
Speaker 2 (48:08):
And like get away with it.
Speaker 1 (48:10):
Like how would you get away with it, though I mean,
that's super like dark web.
Speaker 2 (48:14):
This is the perfect world.
Speaker 1 (48:15):
But it's not.
Speaker 2 (48:16):
They'd be like, oh you stole it, oh you sold it,
all right, and they'd just moveon.
Case closed.
Speaker 1 (48:23):
Oh man, oh okay, I'm going to switch that.
I would self the King Tut piece.
Oh okay, For my personal ownself, I would steal Starry Night
.
Speaker 2 (48:37):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (48:40):
I love that.
That's my favorite painting.
Speaker 2 (48:42):
And then that can be your background piece.
Speaker 1 (48:43):
Oh that would be so great.
I'll put that back here.
Sit behind me.
It's real.
Speaker 2 (48:49):
Oh, what would be so great.
I'll put that back here.
Sit behind me.
It's real.
Oh, what would I take?
I don't know, okay, I don'tknow.
Okay, okay, I think I wouldtake and keep the original,
which I think there might be acouple of pairs, but the
original ruby slippers fromWizard of Oz.
Speaker 1 (49:10):
Oh yeah, I think I would keep those.
If I'm not mistaken, weren'tthose lost for a long time, lost
, I should say.
Speaker 2 (49:17):
There's a whole lot of shit background on the making
of Wizard of Oz and I wantedthat to be a story at one time,
but it was a little overwhelmingbecause there's a lot.
It's my favorite movie.
I love it.
Speaker 1 (49:30):
I well-meaning, because there's a lot.
So it's my favorite movie.
I love it.
I don't remember I don't knowif I'm remembering this wrong,
right or wrong for that matterbut I want to say the original
ruby slippers from the movie wasin a private collection for the
longest time they thought theywere lost.
I want to say they showed up.
I could be completely fuckingthis up yeah and just
misremembering, or mandelaeffect or whatever you want to
call it, but um, I want to saythat was a thing, but I I don't,
(49:52):
I don't recall yeah if that'sright or not, but anyways well,
I mean that would be pretty coolwhat would I steal and sell?
Yeah, painting uh, classic carI mean oh boy.
Oh yeah, I don't know, I'dprobably steal werner brothers
(50:20):
like this movie studio yeah, andthat's all it I'd like to ask
another follow-up question whatis wrong with you?
How are you gonna steal that?
Speaker 2 (50:34):
just take all the shares.
Speaker 1 (50:36):
I don't know, these are mine, I'll sell them back to
you, at a fair market value ornot, oh my god oh, what could I
steal?
What the fuck.
Speaker 2 (50:54):
Okay, I'm going to go all Despicable Me and I'm going
to steal the pyramids.
Speaker 1 (51:00):
So it's funny, before I came up with my actual
answers, I was thinking the samething.
Were you really?
Yes, something ridiculous likestealing the pyramid, like
Despicable Me, because wasn'tthere something else famous he
stole in that movie?
Speaker 2 (51:15):
He was going to try for the moon, that's right.
He stole the little Las VegasEiffel Tower.
That's right, we stole theEiffel Tower.
It's from Vegas, but it stillcounts.
Speaker 1 (51:29):
I mean, it's still an Eiffel Tower, just in the wrong
spot, I guess.
Okay, okay, oh, that's funny.
Speaker 2 (51:35):
Let's wrap this up a little bit.
What's happening on HistoryBuffoons, Like what can people
kind of expect?
Speaker 1 (51:42):
Well, we got a few episodes in mind that we're
actually going to probably havesome guests on.
That will be the first timedoing that, so that'll be
interesting.
Speaker 2 (51:53):
Yes, we have two people in mind.
Both of them are friends.
So, tara, whom we love, she is.
She loves the story of Rasputin, his rise, his fall, his
presence with weird he was.
Yeah, his presence with theRomanovs and that whole story.
(52:14):
So I would like to do a deepdive on that and have her on.
Speaker 1 (52:17):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (52:18):
And then our friend Audra.
She is really curious about theDyatlov Pass.
Speaker 1 (52:26):
Yes, which I don't know much about.
You told me that.
Speaker 2 (52:29):
Nine hikers disappeared and no one knows why
right well, they didn'tdisappear, they all died.
Excuse me, nine hikers, alldied they don't know the
circumstances, kind of thingyeah, so there's lots of
theories and she, she wants totheory us to death.
So that's that.
I was like sure let's do thaton camera yeah, no, that'd be
fun.
Speaker 1 (52:46):
I'm totally on board to do that, especially because I
don't know much about that one.
Yeah, I'm not saying I'm anexpert on Rasputin, but I know
of him a lot better, basicallyBetter yeah, so, yeah.
So we're going to be doing thatas a couple future episodes.
We're not sure when we'll getthose in, but hopefully you can
expect those in thenot-too-distant future, not too
distant future.
Obviously, you have a couplemore topics that I don't want to
(53:08):
know about, right?
So we won't say those, cause Iwant to know them firsthand.
The only reason why we kind ofdiscussed those ones is cause,
while we're having a guest onand don't want it to be like
just talking at me without theother person you know, just
being like, okay, why am I here?
Yeah, yeah At least again we'relearning We've never had a
guest on.
It will be very interesting todo that.
Speaker 2 (53:29):
It'll be fun.
Speaker 1 (53:31):
It'll be a great time , and then it's going to be a
whole new.
How do I format this forYouTube?
So that'll be good.
But speaking of YouTube then ofcourse, this is going to be our
fourth one.
Speaker 2 (53:46):
Is that right?
Speaker 1 (53:47):
Fourth one so our first one was that right fourth
one.
So our first one was kentuckyderby.
We had a camera difficulty ortowards what the last third of
our I I found a nice uh, havingtechnical difficulties picture
and just put that up.
Um, so we don't, we're learning, we we're looking into things
(54:08):
to use for recording.
The things that we usecurrently are.
I did.
I didn't expect that to happen,so I'll take the blame on that.
I don't mind, but but yeah, sowe started doing actual
recordings of our podcast to puton youtube instead of just
having audio on youtube, becausewe've I think think I put our
(54:28):
episodes at the time it was backin October up and of course,
everyone since then has beenavailable.
But it's just been our picture,which is fine, but try to be a
little more engaging and so on.
And then, of course, you'vebeen doing for us a lot of the
well, we've recorded them andyou've been putting up the
shorts for past episodes, andthen, of course, we're going to
(54:52):
start putting those out withcurrent episodes.
Of course, we're just kind ofplaying catch up on that,
because we're a little bit newto the YouTube portion of our
podcast.
Speaker 2 (55:03):
And technically we're on TikTok as well.
Speaker 1 (55:05):
We are.
Speaker 2 (55:07):
We're not engaged on TikTok, but but there are videos
.
Are there as well?
Speaker 1 (55:10):
I mean it's same thing we would rather focus on
on youtube.
I just thought, since we havethem let's just put them up yeah
so you know, if we get a viewor two, great, if not, no, I'm
not concerned.
I'd rather.
I'd rather reach people onyoutube, because then they can
get to these long form videosthat we have and get to know us
better, and so on.
Speaker 2 (55:30):
So um, I am also creating a pinterest board for
each episode.
Um, I'm I'm just starting it,so I only have a couple of our
initial episodes up, butbasically, if I source something
, it's going to be in thatpinterest board.
So whether a certain book oryeah whatever, so you can have a
(55:50):
link to that and our photos andit's going to link all of that
in my pinterest board.
Speaker 1 (55:56):
Yeah, so yeah, which will be great because it's just
another format for people tokind of see what we're doing and
and engage and interact, which,um brings me to the next point,
which is we're always lookingfor beer suggestions.
We do a pretty decent job attrying to find other ones, but
of course, depending on where wego, we're a little bit limited
(56:20):
to what they have, of course.
So I try and keep my eyes outin different areas for a cool
liquor store or something likelet's try that, or whatever.
And I'd say 9.5 out of 10, we dobeer over cocktails.
Once a while we'll throw acocktail, and so if you got any
fancy cocktail suggestions, aslong as they're not too in-depth
, I will make it yeah um, ofcourse, any topics that people
would like to have us look into,that you think is really cool
(56:44):
and you know a lot about, andsay, hey, you should look at
this.
Or just like, I would like toknow more about this.
We're more than willing to uh,talk about them and do the
research and whatever, and havea conversation about those.
And, of course, um, somethingfor me which is more idioms,
which I get a lot from you, Iget a lot from tara, I get a
decent amount from nathan hereand there, um, I think of a lot
(57:06):
of them.
Just come across, I'm across ineveryday life, it's like fuck,
that's an idiom.
It's getting to the point whereI need to figure out a new
filing system for how many wehave and I can just start
telling everyone that is doublesuggested, I guess, or multiple
suggestions for it, but I justwant to keep track of better
track of all the ones we've used, so I don't, I don't want to
(57:27):
repeat one.
Yeah, of course, but uh, yeah.
So if you have any beersuggestions, any topic
suggestions or any idioms thatyou like use, want to know more
about that, we can look into.
We, uh, would greatlyappreciate you reaching out to
us and you can, you know, ofcourse, find us.
You can leave comments in ourvideos on youtube.
You can reach us, reach out tous at history buffoons podcast
(57:49):
at gmailcom our websites, uh,you can get in touch through
there with us um, uh, eveninstagram, twitter, all that
stuff, you can leave comments,messages, whatever yep or x,
whatever people call it thesedays, or facebook.
That's the only one I think Imissed.
So, yeah, reach out to us,please and give us some
(58:12):
suggestions, because we want tointeract with the fans as much
as we can and, yeah, justwouldn't mind getting something
that someone wants to learn moreabout, I guess, is what I'm
saying.
So, anyways, well, I supposeAll right.

Welcome to a conversation withbuffoons.
We're doing something a littledifferent.
(00:42):
Since we started our YouTubevideos, we thought it would be
good to I don't know kind ofreflect and talk about what
we're doing.
Something a little different.
Since we started our YouTubevideos, we thought it would be
good to uh, I don't know kind ofreflect and talk about what
we're doing.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
We're doing a lot.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Trying to.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
I feel like we're doing a lot.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
I feel like over the last two, three weeks it's been
quite a bit, yeah, which is nota bad thing.
Um um, I'm enjoying it, but Umum, I'm enjoying it, but it's
been a lot to work on,especially with a full-time job
and then doing this.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
So yeah, yeah I it feels like a very hefty
part-time job.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
It does, but it's been fun.
So, um, you know, someday maybeit can be a full-time job, who
knows Cause then we can focus onsomething we really enjoy doing
.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, cause I'mhaving fun I mean, I know you
like what you do, but I don't.
But either way, um, it's just.
Yeah, I forgot to unplug,that's what I forgot to do.
(01:31):
Fuck, gonna have to edit that.
Hold, please.
And we're back.
Sorry about that, my bad forgot.
So in the pod loft we have amini fridge for podcast beer,
(01:52):
mainly.
I do have some waters in there.
Sure do, because we'reresponsible and it's a small
room and well, refrigeratorsmake noise.
Sure do, so I forgot to unplugit, my bad.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
We need a checklist.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Yeah, did you unplug the fridge Check?
Maybe I should make one ofthose.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Maybe.
Yeah, just one more thing thatwe have to keep track of.
Yeah, we are trying so hard tobe continuous and not have a
lapse in episodes and socialmedia and just being super
consistent with all of that.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
We've definitely fallen flat a couple of times,
but we sure pick ourselves upagain.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Well, I mean, we're still pretty new to doing this.
Yes, we've been more or lessdoing this for a year, and then
we started releasing inSeptember but, we're still
learning what the hell to do.
I mean, I guess the biggestthing we've added recently is
actual YouTube videos of us.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Yeah, go look us up.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
There's lots of those throughout the episodes.
Go look us up on youtubehistory ruffians podcast.
Um.
So that's been.
That's been kind of interesting, because not only did I have to
learn how to edit audio, now Ilearned how to edit video yeah,
and you're doing a great jobthank you.
I appreciate that.
I do like the feedback becauseI always feel like I could do
(03:26):
better and I recently reachedout to Al for his insight and
that's why our last video had alittle bit of a format change.
I don't know what's best forpeople.
I don't know what everybodylikes.
Who knows?
Maybe some people who like theold format are like why'd they
change it?
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
I I like the last one a little better.
Yeah, I think it's a littlemore, I don't know.
I kind of I like seeing theprogression too.
Yeah, like I wouldn't want tolike redo the video to a new
format, like.
No, I like our progression ofwhat?
Speaker 1 (04:03):
we used to do and you've always said that too with
um, with like, our audio, evenlike, and our overall episodes.
We've gotten, I feel, betterover the months we've been doing
this.
So, yeah, because what we'vebeen releasing stuff for eight,
a little over eight months nowwow, that's wild to say it like
that.
Our year anniversary of ourfirst episodes in like three and
(04:27):
a, what three and a half monthsroughly give or take, yeah, so
that's wild to think about.
But hey, I've been enjoying it.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
So yeah anyways um, so we do have a podcast beer, um
and it's, it's just our basicsoldie, but a goodie for us.
So cheers uh to the summershandy, which summer is starting
to creep back in finally, socheers, cheers it was kind of
(04:57):
dreary the last couple of daysand it it got to a chill level
that it felt like it wasnovember, like going into
december, like I was like iswinter coming?

fuck it's been in you know theupper 40s or even low 50s in the
morning, the last, I don't knowweek before, but I think it was
this morning.
It was 39 degrees out when Ileft for work.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
It was nice today.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Oh it's beautiful today, sun's out, because we've

new brush, oh nice.
So one half is a dematter andthen turn it over and the other
is like an undercoat oh cool um,all of the cats.
Amos is a little apprehensiveabout it because we're trying to
demat him right.
Um, but they all love it okay,that's good, that's a plus yeah,
(06:27):
um, bonnie and amos are shorthair and they're getting mats.
I think they're just.
I think we feed them too welland they aren't even fee
freeders fee fee feeders, freefeeders.
That's the one, um, but I thinkthey're getting too big to like
(06:48):
clean themselves, cleanthemselves yeah, so like right
above their tail, and sometimestheir sides are getting matted.
Um, so the brush is actuallydoing pretty good, but after I

Speaker 2 (09:30):
A little bit of structure if you will, off the
cuff, that's an idiom.
You have no idea how manyidioms I hear all day, every day
now.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
No, I do.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
I send them to you, you message me them.
Or I'll type you one and belike oh, I thought of another.
That's very similar.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
And it's gotten to the point where I used to be
like got it, it's on the list.
Now I'm just like, yep, I don'teven respond to them, you don't
.
I'm like, yeah, I would hopeyou know that eventually they'll
be on the list.
Yeah, no, that doesn't botherme.
I figured not.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
So I have an answer to this question.
Yeah, and I want to know, ifyou do, what's the weirdest beer
you've tried on the show, andwould you drink it again?
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Oh geez, I feel like a lot of the beers that I've
gone to are like just IPAs.
There are some that I'm like,eh, it wasn't bad per se Stuff
that you wouldn't normally buy,Right?
Speaker 2 (10:27):
that's what I'm trying to remember, but you did
for me or for a theme, orwhatever I'm trying to remember.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
I would be good not to do the Seagrams again.
I've had those in my past life.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Was that the Jamaican Me Happy or something yeah?
Speaker 1 (10:39):
It's just, I don't know, a little too sweet for me
A wine cooler type.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
So I guess if I had to pick one, I wouldn't do that.
Yeah, just, it's too sweet forme in my old age.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
But it's still good it wasn't bad.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Yeah, I mean there was a time I remember I mean
we're talking like 20 plus yearsago where they used to do this
deal where you get like six,four packs of seagrams, escapes,
uh, for whatever low price orwhatever what the hell it was.
So you get a whole bunch offlavors and I drank the shit out
of them.
But I was also in like my early20s right I wasn't really even a
(11:13):
beer drinker when I started inthe beer business in my early
20s.
I didn't drink beer.
I drank mike's hard lemonaderight, or some a smattering of
other similar and then zima I.
The first zima I ever had andyes, I was underage was when I
was 14.
Yeah, I was 14 in californiathe day before going to the rose
(11:37):
bowl when the wisconsin badgersplayed ucla and one it's weird
that you remember all this shit.
Yeah, well okay, I've explainedthis to you before.
I associate a lot of my memorywith events and then, of course,
dates.
I know that the Rose Bowl wasplayed on January 1st every year
and I remember how old I was.
We were also shotgunning MillerGenuine Drafts in my dad's
(12:01):
buddy's kitchen With him, withmy dad's buddy, my dad already,
with my dad's buddy.
My dad already went to bedbecause he was old back then,
even just kidding, um and uh, sowe're with and I consider him a
friend too, uh, him and hisdaughters, who his youngest is,
I think, seven years older thanme.
Um, and then I remember westarted walking to her friend's
(12:24):
house, like me and my twobrothers, and her and her friend
, I think, her I don't rememberif her sister was there, but uh,
all of a sudden, mary jo, whichis, uh, the, the wife of the,
our, our family friends, shecomes running.
Your dad wants you guys to comeback right now.
Oh, shit, okay.
(12:45):
And then we went to the rosebowl parade the next morning
very nice yeah, when you're 14,you don't care for it um the
weirdest beer I've had on theshow.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
It's not really the weirdest beer, it's the the one
beer that I you definitely didnot like and I didn't.
I would not have it again.
It's the brand is kiwina, yeahwhat was?
Speaker 1 (13:06):
what was the?
Speaker 2 (13:07):
it was green, it had like a maiden on the front.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Yeah I don't remember the exact um but I couldn't.
Oh, you had you struggled usthrough that real bad.
I remember every sip you took.
You're like basically I knowbut it was there, so you know
well, yeah, it would have beenalcohol abuse if I but it's
funny because you also had abackup modelo and I'm like just
go to that.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
I know.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Go to the go-to, but I get it.
You didn't want to, I don'tknow, waste it, I suppose.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Yeah and carbless.
If you could redo one episode,which would it be and why?
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Well, it's one we haven't released for a good
reason it doesn't sound prettywell.
Okay, I was basically readingverbatim my story so the episode
that I'm talking about is wedid one on the Chicago Fire very
early on in our developing.
(14:07):
What kind of style and theformat and so on.
I thought it was really good.
So basically, we changed alittle bit of our format to be
like, if you break it down, kateteaches me something is what it
is.
Do I know it sometimes?
Yes, do I not know it A lot ofthe times?
No, I do I know it sometimes,yes, do I don't not know it a
lot of the times?
No, I don't know it.
(14:27):
Um so early on, when we triedto do this, start this, I should
say I actually did some of myown research as well, for random
facts, that's right, yeah, yeahand which was cool because you
know I was able to add in.
But again I almost felt like, soI had, I typed them out as well
(14:47):
.
And you're like, oh hey, by theway, did you know about bub?
And it's like this sounds sorobotic yeah, it wasn't organic
no, it didn't feel like having aconversation, so we kind of
retooled our format and did that, but it was a good episode.
I enjoyed the.
The topic I always like hearingabout chicago burning so um but
(15:11):
, um, I mean, am I wrong?
no, jesus christ, but um no, itwas.
It was a good episode.
I just it wasn't what we do nowand I'm not really sad about it
.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Maybe we'll redo that one in the future because it is
a good historical story.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Yeah, and then I can be happy because Chicago's
burning all over again whathistorical figure that we've
covered so far.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
would you invite out for drinks?
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Probably Elizabeth Bathory.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Why.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Because we can have some vampire drinks, some blood
drinks, blood drinks like a,like a red red ale or I don't
know.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
I mean not actual blood drinks, right a red ale,
or if, if she was cosmo right,or um a um shirley temple oh,
she was yeah, if she was not.
I remember my parents.
We were out somewhere and theywere ordering drinks for all of
(16:18):
us and my sister and I wereyoung, right, and I don't know
if they were like suggestingsodas or what and we just
weren't having it, sure, but mymom was like, oh, can you do
this they're gonna do a ShirleyTemple and it was the very first
time I ever had a ShirleyTemple and I was like, okay.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
So my, I remember my.
My parents would take us out tothese nicer restaurants all the
time when we were little.
There's this one in particular.
I'm, of course, spacing on thedamn name of it.
I could take you there rightnow.
It'd be a drive because it'sfurther north.
But um, uh, we didn't call themshirley temple.
I knew that's what they werecalled, but we just all call
always call them kitty cocktailsyeah, I've heard of it too, but
(16:56):
I definitely grew up withshirley temple as the name for
him.
I didn't know, they were calledthat for a while after because
my dad just do you want a kittycocktail and it's just what.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Like a sprite with uh , grenadine, yeah, that's all it
is so we always thought we werefancy yeah, exactly I got to
have a cocktail with my dad orlike girl, like when you were
young and you had a root beer.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
You're like I'm having a beer, yeah, yeah
exactly yeah and it's funnybecause vesper now I so I have
you've seen, inside my fridge Ihave got like those soda sleeves
or whatever you want to callthem um, and so she likes to
grab data soda a lot yeah butshe also knows that I have a
(17:35):
beer fridge too down there, andshe's like one time she goes to
me dad, do you want a beer?
I want to get you a beer that'sso sweet.
Well, thanks, sweetheart.
But then and so I was I washaving a beer, I don't know.
Within the last week or so shegoes how's your soda, you like
your soda, like yep, it's a beer, but yep, I do like my soda.
(17:56):
So it's kind of funny.
She doesn't, can'tdifferentiate them all the time
but yeah no it's cute, it'sunderstandable.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
She's too so I don't know what historical figure I
would invite out to drink.
Actually, you know who I wouldwhat's that?
It would be annie oakley.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
She seems like she would be cool okay, I, I
answered elizabeth, but that wasthe other was it in my brain
okay, okay, so we'll all just go, yeah, we'll all go we'll have
elizabeth annie.
You me.
Yeah, we'll go to the bar, getsome, some Shirley Temples, get
some whiskey, whatever.
I don't remember in the episodeDid she drink, I wonder?
Speaker 2 (18:30):
I don't remember, I'm not sure, if that- ever came up
.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
But yeah, I thought she might be interesting just
because of who she is andwhatever, what she kind of did
for for a living is really Idon't know, entertainment it is.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
I mean she was in the entertainment business.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
So what beer would I order for her?
Yeah, or it can be a cocktailtoo, but if you had a beer, I
feel like she'd like a whiskey.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Neat yeah, something, let's, let's go with that.
Yeah, let's go with that.
Okay, so I already know theanswer to this question, because
we've talked about it so manytimes what is a hilarious
blooper that hasn't beenreleased?
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Okay, so it's not really a blooper per se, it's
kind of a blooper.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
In a way, it's a combination of, it's a burping
reel.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Yes, so, um, and the funny thing is so I think we've
we've mentioned this briefly onone of the episodes.
Depending on if a certain thinghappens for the podcast, I
actually get to release this.
Um, but the funny thing is allof them came from the same
episode no, yes I swear to godgod, what episode do you
(19:43):
remember?
Speaker 2 (19:43):
I'm trying to blank.
I'd have to look at the datestamp.
It's not but so I hate that itall came from one episode.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Well, and that's the funny thing is because like if I
went through all the episodesI'd have so many to do.
But the beautiful thing is Ican do maybe a sequel.
So basically what I did is whenI was editing.
I think this is, but there wasbefore I had to do video, so I
probably wouldn't have wastedthe time because I got to go do
(20:11):
the video now.
Yeah, Kate likes to burp.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Do I like to.
It's a good release, but no, itjust happens.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Kate burps a lot.
Okay, let's rephrase it.
Okay, I'll allow that one, I'llallow it.
So it is the bubbles, thecombination.
So I jokingly said once I'mgonna make a compilation of
burps, which then turned into memaking a burp track.
So I took a couple from thatepisode and created a song where
(20:42):
it's just um, kate burping, andyou say sorry once, because I
thought that was funny.
Because, you said sorry rightafterwards.
So if a certain somethinghappens for the podcast, I get
to release that and we will tellyou when that happens.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
When the certain something happens, we will also
tell you.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
We'll probably do a video for it.
Maybe we'll do a watch.
Watch like a video, where youget to react to it.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
I mean, you've heard it, but it's been a while it's
been a while okay, I'm gonna letyou ask me that next question
because it kind of pertains moreto me than yeah, yeah uh, which
episode surprised you the mostduring research and or recording
?
Speaker 1 (21:22):
obviously that's.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
I think that's geared more towards research, but yeah
um, so it was actually aboutmarie antoinette, so one of our
most recent episodes I mean it'salso more fresh in my mind I'm
also reading a book about heryeah, that's true yeah.
So she's very, very much in mymind right now, and I have yet
to watch the kirsten Dunst movie.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Marie.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Antoinette, which is on my list now, yep, but it
really surprised me that sheactually wasn't a cunt.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Did you just always assume that she was?
Yeah, just because of how shewas portrayed and everything.
Yes, okay.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
So it was portrayed as people absolutely hating her
and her just not giving a shitand ended up being Not the case
at all.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
I feel like she was a little bit more misunderstood.
Sure, she was thrust intosociety and made to be a certain
way.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Well, didn't she, if I remember correctly, wasn't
part of it?
At the border of France, theystripped her of all of her
clothes and put her in theseFrench clothes and everything to
be presentable.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
So I mean look at that.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
She didn't do that.
They did that to her.
Yeah, so I mean, she was whatagain?
14?
She was 14.
Yeah, that's crazy, beingthrust into that life quite wild
.
Thrust into that life, quitewild.
So and it's.
It's funny how, throughouthistory, how you know, people
are portrayed a certain way whenthey're really not even close
to being that way.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Like I'm not saying there weren't problems.
Oh, of course that you knowsomething that she would do or
say, or or ignore whateverdollhouse that she had for
herself yeah, which was amansion to one of us, yeah, but
so I mean like there weredefinitely some issues,
especially with their finances,right um, but as a human person,
she wasn't bad, no okay, yeahso I think that kind of
(23:15):
surprised me the most because Ihad this inkling right.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
You know of who she was oh no, you had a
preconceived notionpreconceconceived notion Exactly
.
So I can totally understandthat.
I mean there's a lot of peoplethroughout history who are like
wow, I thought that dude was anasshole.
Turns out he wasn't a greatperson, but maybe he was better
than you thought.
Or history spun it this wayRight, for sure, but yeah, you
(23:44):
want me to ask this one too.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Sure, let's do it.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Okay, if the podcast only went viral, what's the
first ridiculous merch item youwould insist we sell.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Copies of my painting .
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Can they be hand-numbered?
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Hand-numbered.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Yeah, I mean it adds more of a flair to it Like one
out of 500 or something.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Yeah, okay.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
I mean right.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
I mean, if we're making shit up, yeah I was just
taking sweatshirts, but eitherway that's not a ridiculous
merch item okay, so we're goingridiculous yeah, ridiculous
history buffoons, beer, steins,that's fun with the lid, even
like old german style.
Those would be fucking cool.
You know what would happen tome?
Speaker 1 (24:33):
you would forget that it's the lids on and try to
drink it.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
No, I would hit it you're gonna hit your face and
then I come up and accidentally,like accidentally lift it or
accidentally move it, and itwould like pop on my nose I
could see that yeah, me too.
Have you?
This is, I guess, a questionfor me.
Have I ever pretended to knowmore about a topic than I
actually did?
Yes, I will say something andbe like no, I don't think that
(25:00):
was right.
Well, after the fact though,really oh yeah, like you'll ask
me a question, I'm like I knowthe answer to this and it's such
and such and like no're, likeno, I don't think that's right.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
So I may have received false information.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Unfortunately, yeah Well, I am not a research
enthusiast.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
You do it because we like doing this.
Yes, we are by no meansfull-blown historians.
That's why we're called historybuffoons.
Even being history buffs was astretch.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
We had to put the oon in there, okay so in the last,
one of these last episodes ofmarie antoinette, I said that
versailles was like 20 milesaway from paris okay when I
heard it back, I'm like no, it'sLike in my head I think it was
12 miles and I was just likeconfidently, 20 miles yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
So this is a good, good, good point to a chance to
point out that it's kind of likeagain, the telephone game.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Things get embellished through storytelling
Yep Sure does Things getembellished?
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Embellished Through storytelling.
Yep, sure does, it was like 20miles.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
I mean next time we do Marie Antoinette it's going
to be 50.
Who knows?
Speaker 2 (26:20):
We don't know, not sure why we'd do it again, but
who knows, okay, whichhistorical event that we've
covered would you?
Actually want to experiencefirsthand.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
As a fly on the wall.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Yeah, as a fly on the wall, because we've done a lot
of depressing stuff, yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
So I would not want to be in a lot of depressing
situations.
However, for some reason Iwould want to be a fly on the
wall and see how charleslightoller made it through every
fucking ship sinking.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Oh my gosh, if you have not listened to the Charles
Lightoller episode.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Seriously, I sink ships.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
It's not called I Sink.
Ships no but that was atentative title when we were
recording it.
It was a title because he wason a lot of ship sinkings.
It was called Smack Dabble, itsure was.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
But I would be super curious to observe him Just be
like dude.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
What is happening?
Speaker 1 (27:14):
I mean from the sinking of the Titanic all the
way to rescuing people atDunkirk.
Yeah, it would just be superinteresting to see.
Like, how the fuck did this guymake it this far?
Yeah, Because you were onliterally a boatload of ships.
Let's see what I did there thatsink, and it's like you're
still alive, Still kicking.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
I mean that ships I see what I did there that sink,
and it's like you're still alive, still still kicking.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
I mean that's fucking impressive, yeah, so I think
that's one that I would pick.
Do you have one that you wouldpick?
Speaker 2 (27:39):
I, I do.
I think I would want to be afly on a tree okay and discover
what happened to the roman oakcolony oh, yes, for sure.
Like actually happened, Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
I mean when we did that.
It still points to they justassimilated.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
With the natives.
Yeah, yeah, with that.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
I forget the name of the tribe right now.
Yeah, what their name was.
But yeah, I'm pretty surethat's.
I mean that's what it points to, at least from my observation.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Again, I am no uh expert, but uh, yeah, yeah we
think, we know, but there's just, there's just so many what ifs
that it could potentially besomething else could potentially
correct.
What's the saying like if it's,if it's got hooves, think of a
horse, not a zebra or whateverI've never heard that before.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Is that an idiom or just a saying?
Is that really a thing?
Speaker 2 (28:34):
I know I didn't make it up.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Really no.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
I didn't.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Oh man, because it sounds made up.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
If it has stripes, it's a, you know it's.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Well, because yeah, horses don't have stripes,
zebras do.
I want to look it up Is a zebraconsidered a horse?
Speaker 2 (28:51):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
You say that with such disdain Like why would you
ask me that?
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Why wouldn't you already know that?
Okay, what's the saying abouthooves and zebras?
I've said this many times onthis podcast, but this is
podcast gold.
When you hear hoof beats, thinkhorses, not zebras.
Basically think the mostobvious answer.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
I'm sorry, but I never would have thought zebra.
There's a song I'm trying toblank on the title of it, but
they, because it's's aboutdeborah, but they call, so they
to write something with deborah.
They say zebra.
It's in, uh, the movie babydriver, which I love that movie.
I haven't seen that one, it'sso good, but um, yeah, it's
(29:43):
deborah zebra anyways.
Yeah, why the fuck would youthink of zebra first, or at all?
Speaker 2 (29:48):
that's what.
That's what the saying is aboutyou would think about the most
obvious, not the something thatyou wouldn't ever think about,
but that's my point and that'sthe point of the saying Bradley,
Unless you live in Africa, youwouldn't go zebra first.
We're going to rapid fire here.
Okay, best historical beard.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Rasputin.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
We haven't done an episode on him.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
No, but we'll talk about that later.
Who else has a beard that we'vedone an episode on.
That's a great question, holyshitballs, I don't think we
really have.
Nothing of note, at least.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Nothing of note, yeah .
Speaker 1 (30:24):
I'd say I have a pretty good beard.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
You do have an epic beard.
Thank you, yes.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
I've been growing it for a while now.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Historical figure you trust to babysit your dog or
cats.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
You have cats, I have cats yeah, I don't have a dog
anymore.
Rip Maximus.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Historical figure you trust to babysit your dog.
Oh boy.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Well, that's a great question.
I don't know.
I know Probably not GeorgiaTann.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
She'll probably Traffic him or something Traffic
him yeah, bitch.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
So it's.
Who would I want to watch mydog?
Yeah, who would you trust?
Who would I trust?
Probably the Sullivan brothers.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
If they made it through.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
So are we talking from our own podcast history To
what I trust, to probably theSullivan brothers Okay, if they
made it through.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
So are we talking from our own podcast history, or
are we talking?
I guess in my brain that'swhere my head went.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Because I could think of a good answer that has not
been talked about on our podcast.
And who?
Speaker 1 (31:28):
would that be?
Speaker 2 (31:28):
Betty White.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
Oh, fuck yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
She was such a big animal advocate.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
She really was, and she was funny as as hell.
She could make the dog laugh,probably, so, probably, um, she
was great betty white is iconic.
Maybe she's watching my dogright now up in heaven, or
whatever you believe in okay,from our episodes.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
Okay, what is your least favorite historical figure
?
Speaker 1 (31:53):
oh boy, georgia tan, georgia tan, she was a super
cunt.
I did not like what she did toall those kids no no, she was
pretty shitty she never got hercomeuppance either.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
No, she died before.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
Really fucking irritating.
I don't like that she never hadto pay for what she did to all
those kids.
Um, I guess me being a father,that kind of weighs a little bit
in my brain if um you have notlistened to that episode, it's
called the tale of the babythief.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
It's our sixth episode yeah, pretty early on.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
So we've we've gotten better since then yeah and the
sound has gotten better too.
You're, you're welcome.
It took me a while I got better.
Oh, absolutely.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
Okay, least favorite historical figure oh boy.
Yeah, I would probably agreewith Georgia Tann.
Yeah, she's pretty awful.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
I can't think of another one out of the ones
we've done.
That just jumps to mind rightaway.
Same, but it's pretty much her,because of those poor,
unfortunate kids I almost saidpoor unfortunate souls.
Just like from the LittleMermaid.
But I caught myself.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
Yeah, that's probably the one who I would go with.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Yeah, she's pretty fucking awful.
No, she's terrible, yeah, okay.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Anyways.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
I don't know if we could answer this one.
Is there a beer that you lovedand I hated, or vice versa?
Oh, I don't think.
Well, we haven't done a ton ofbeers that were the same.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
No, we've done a few, like we recently did the uh,
some the citrus, uh, ale,whatever the hell, it was called
pseudo citrus, summer citrus,right, summer citrus.
It was good.
I wish it was colder, um yeah,but it was still good.
So I know, obviously that wasvery recent, so we and that was
our fault.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
We already know that it's a good beer.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
Yeah, we did so I.
I thought it would be colder.
I put ice in my cooler, thoughtit would keep it cold enough,
but it didn't.
But we don't do some.
A lot of times we try and mixit up, so we don't do the same
beer.
Yes, we have, like today we'vedone Summer Shandy, but that's a
go-to, you know it's just basic.
I love Summer Shandy becauseit's my basic beer.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
But for in terms of like other more elaborate ones
we've sampled, we don't reallygo.
I really like ipas you don't,yeah, you don't mind.
Some like you like the foundersall day ipa and stuff like that
.
But a lot of the ipas I like,like that maharaja one that al
suggested for me, I probablywouldn't.
You would hate that.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
That was fucking delicious okay, so let's switch
up the question.
Out of everything that you havetasted, yeah, what is your
favorite?
Speaker 1 (34:34):
and you cannot say summer shandy no, I'd probably
pick that maharaja, okay, yeah Ithink I would pick fresh coast
from three sheeps okay that onewas delicious yeah, the maharaj
is from avery, that's one ofal's beer, so he knew it very
well that he, he uh works for.
But, um, he did not disappointin that suggestion.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
So oh, thunder punch from kerny, nebraska our friend
tara came through.
That was you drank my beer.
You drank them all.
Okay, I'd like to point out.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
There's been multiple , multiple times that I've left
beer at your house expecting tohave it the next time I'm there.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
From Kearney, Nebraska?
No, From how many states away?
Speaker 1 (35:24):
I'm not talking about oh okay, do you want to get
specific, Probably differentstates, not just Wisconsin?
I don't buy only Wisconsin beer.
All I'm saying is is beersdisappear the next time we come
to record.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
it's like okay, but these beers you can repurchase
here here's the thing thunderpunch, you cannot I can throw
them up if you'd like.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
They might still be in my system.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
Yeah, exactly so bradley, we're moving on from
this.
Please do.
Weirdest historical fad, fadyou secretly wish would come
back oh boy, I think we shouldbring back zoot, suits those are
pretty awesome.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
I mean, I could without the stigma let's bring
it back maybe I should buy onewithout the stigma do you think
there's a local zoot suit shopin the town that I could go to
Cat hair?
Jesus, you're not even nearyour cats and you're pulling in
cats.
That's impressive.
I know I'm out of my beer.
Yeah, so am I, and I don'treally want to get up again
(36:23):
because that was a fucking chore.
It's a chore.
No, I'd say zoot suits.
I don't like.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
Yeah, those are I, no , I'd say zoot suits, I don't
like.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
Yeah, I mean it's a fad, I guess fashion fad, yeah,
I can't think of anything elseis there anything you can think
of.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
I mean, no, I think that's pretty good.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
Yeah, I like it, I like, I like, I like the zoot
suits yeah, I like it, yeah, ohdid you just think of one?
Speaker 2 (36:49):
what if we went back to annieioch and we brought back
the Wild West show?
Speaker 1 (36:56):
I mean, that would be kind of cool.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
That would be cool.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
I feel like I mean, is medieval times still a thing?
Yeah, Is it.
I went to that once like a longtime ago.
But I feel like we can do aWild West show again, similar to
a style like that.
What what they used to doexactly but the problem is now
like I don't know, can peopleshoot like her?
Speaker 2 (37:22):
I'm sure there's somebody out there.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
I'm sure there's quite a few that actually could.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
Okay, this one might be hard.
What's that?
Okay, you're, we're inventing ahistory.
Buffoons beer okay what wouldit be called?
Speaker 1 (37:38):
oh boy, I know, I know it's a hard one because I
feel like it's specific to what,maybe what style it is too okay
, because.
Because you like lagers.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
I was thinking something like along the lines
of buffoonery, buffoonery,brewery, buffoonery.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
Right, but what would the name of the actual beer be?
Speaker 2 (38:04):
I don't know that one's a hard one.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
It's not a part of my research.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
Yeah, ha, I see what you did there.
I was just like no, it wasn'tHa.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
Yeah, you see what you did there, I was just like
no, it wasn't, I think.
I think my first beer would bethat's not a part of my research
ale, which would be an indiapale ale or no, we'll do a
session uh, pale ale, so you candrink it too, because you know
it's not part of your research Ithink that's what I would do.
Should we do also a companion,do a do a well blogger and a I
(38:38):
suppose.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
Ale right, and I was thinking of a, a whole.
Speaker 1 (38:41):
Uh, hey there or like the one episode ohis, that's,
I'm like who's hollis and oh hey, there hellis I like that.
(39:08):
Yep, let's do that okay yeah,wow, we're coming up, uh, with
the variety pack real quick, allof a sudden, okay okay, we're
gonna talk in reference to someof our past episodes okay do you
remember utsy the ice man?
Speaker 2 (39:25):
I do, okay.
What episode was he?
He was number um eight yeah, hewas our episode 8.
His last meal was probably deermeat or something like that.
If you knew today was your last, what would be your last meal
choice?
Be, oh boy, you're on death row, man.
(39:47):
What's your meal?
What's your last meal?
Speaker 1 (39:51):
Because there's so many things I like.
It's like do you go?
I want a steak or somethinglike that.
Fuck, but I like pizza likepasta, I like shrimp like
lobster.
Can I have all of them?
Speaker 2 (40:03):
fuck, yeah, you can.
Speaker 1 (40:04):
So yeah, I'd probably go with.
Speaker 2 (40:07):
Uh, there's something in my eye I'm sorry if people
are freaky with their eyes, butokay.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
I can always edit that out.
I think I'd probably gosomething with shrimp, because I
love shrimp you make a goodshrimp pasta so shrimp, alfredo,
I came up with what was it.
She said surf and turf, whichis basically I came up with what
was it.
She said, obviously, you know,like surf and turf.
Speaker 2 (40:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (40:36):
Which is basically, you know, usually referred to as
like beef and seafood kind ofthing.
Obviously, turf can be morethan just beef or whatever steak
or whatever it would be.
What the hell did Sarah say?
Because I was thinking aboutlike trying to add chicken to
(40:59):
that because it's so good.
I just feel like chicken wouldbe a nice addition to it as well
.
And she, uh she came up withsomething.
I'm just drawing a fuckingblank.
It was fucking amazing like,like a fishy poultry, something
dish yeah, it was like, yeah,clucking something or other,
whatever, I'm trying to rememberhow.
Maybe it'll come back to me.
I'm kind of disappointed.
I don't remember what she said.
No, it was hilarious.
Uh, so I'd probably do like ashrimp alfredo type thing, like
(41:20):
what I make, and then probably asteak or something like that,
if I had to have a last meal,kind of thing yeah with a pizza
for dessert, and then thosemolasses cookies.
Those are so good, oh my godlet's see.
Speaker 2 (41:36):
I would probably go with sushi from a reputable
place oh yeah gotta specify thatnot from a gas station.
Speaker 1 (41:44):
Nope, that's been sitting there for a week I would
do a philadelphia raw what isthat?
Speaker 2 (41:50):
I'm not familiar with sushi, so it's raw salmon with
avocado and cream cheese.
Speaker 1 (41:58):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (41:59):
And I say raw because there are occasionally some
that are cooked, some are cooked, or whatever, yeah, okay, so I
would say raw.
Speaker 1 (42:07):
Gotcha.
Speaker 2 (42:07):
Philadelphia raw is my favorite.
Is it really?
Oh, my God.
Speaker 1 (42:11):
It's my favorite, yeah, so that's all you'd go
with give me three rolls, I'mset.
Speaker 2 (42:16):
Wow, maybe some crab or goon.
Oh, fuck you fuck.
Speaker 1 (42:20):
Yeah, sorry, let's go get sushi can I get, uh, what I
want yes, what you want yes,perfect, all right, fair enough
okay, if Okay, if Ootsie had aYelp.
Jesus Christ.
Speaker 2 (42:35):
What would his one-star review of the Alps be,
which is where he died?
Speaker 1 (42:41):
Okay.
Went to the Alps.
I died One star.
Fuck.
I didn't know death was on themenu.
Speaker 2 (42:48):
I mean fuck, I didn't know death was on the menu up
here.
One star, I'm being followed.
One star, yeah.
Speaker 1 (42:55):
I'm being fuck.
I didn't know death was on themenu up here.
One star.
I'm being followed.
Speaker 2 (42:59):
One star.
Speaker 1 (43:00):
Yeah, I'm being hunted.
The hunter became the hunty.
I mean, fuck yeah, I'm prettysure he would not leave a
favorable review.
Too cold, too cold.
Service was terrible, too coldand I died.
I died.
Speaker 2 (43:12):
Okay, okay, okay, I like this one, I like this one.
All right, we're racing in thederby, yeah, and your horse runs
away.
What historical animal are yougoing to replace it with?
You can't say like.
Speaker 1 (43:25):
A griffin.
Speaker 2 (43:26):
Zebra A zebra A zebra .
A what?
Speaker 1 (43:31):
A griffin.
Speaker 2 (43:32):
Like from Harry Potter.
Speaker 1 (43:33):
Yeah, kind of like Gryffindor, but not the door
More griffiny.
You said historical Mine'smythical.
Speaker 2 (43:40):
Yeah, okay, so it's a flying animal.
Speaker 1 (43:44):
Is that fair, but it's also.
Well, you didn't say it had tobe fair, but we're at the Derby,
all right, but we're at thederby, all right.
Then a Pegasus?
No, they still have wings.
I know they do so okay.
Speaker 2 (43:58):
I think you're cheating.
Speaker 1 (44:00):
I think the horse would be, not me.
Speaker 2 (44:01):
You know what I would choose?
Speaker 1 (44:02):
What A fucking cheetah I mean, I'd probably do
a jaguar well, I'd still beatyou because cheaters are faster
do you know that for a fact?
Yes was that part of yourresearch?
Shut up, was that that was notpart of your research?
Ale?
Speaker 2 (44:21):
you asked me the next question then um all right.
Speaker 1 (44:28):
Which modern day celebrity would best play the
lead in a krakatoa disastermovie?
Speaker 2 (44:32):
can I not say pierce brosden, because he was in
dante's peak oh, he was, that'sright yeah oh man, I haven't.
Speaker 1 (44:40):
I probably haven't watched that since the year it
came out okay um modern daycelebrity in a Krakatoa disaster
movie?
Speaker 2 (44:48):
Yeah, um, okay, okay, okay.
What about Mark?
Speaker 1 (44:57):
Wahlberg what?
Speaker 2 (44:59):
Why?
Cause he was in a stormdisaster movie called uh perfect
storm.
Speaker 1 (45:05):
And he was good.
I saw that in the theater.
Speaker 2 (45:07):
It was really good.
It's really sad.
Speaker 1 (45:09):
Well, yeah, I mean, they all die.
Speaker 2 (45:11):
But he's handsome, but not like stunning, you know.
Speaker 1 (45:16):
Did you ever see what's his name from?
He was on Saturday Night Livefor a while.
He does other stuff.
I was Andy Samberg.
Is that the right guy I'mthinking of?
He does his Mark Wahlbergimpersonation.
I don't think so.
It's fucking hilarious.
Speaker 2 (45:28):
I don't think so I'll have to show you a video of
that, but I think Mark Wahlbergwould be pretty good in this
kind of an action movie.
Speaker 1 (45:35):
Do you think he would bring the Funky Bunch with him?
Speaker 2 (45:38):
I don't know that reference.
Speaker 1 (45:39):
Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch.
He was a rapper before he wasan actor.
That's just weird.
He was in what is it?
Calvin Klein ads and stuff.
Speaker 2 (45:48):
That's probably why I'm picturing him in a wife
beater right now.
Speaker 1 (45:51):
And his white tighty whities.
I mean, that's what the ad was.
Yeah, wow, Burp track.
Anyways, yeah, I think I mightgo.
Tom Hardy.
Speaker 2 (46:06):
Ooh, I love Tom Hardy .
Speaker 1 (46:08):
He's such a good actor.
Ooh, I love Tom Hardy.
He's such a good actor.
Speaker 2 (46:11):
Ooh, I like, yeah, Me likey, yeah, he would be
excellent.
Ooh, what about Idris Elba?
I love him too.
He's so good yeah he's great.
Speaker 1 (46:25):
Yeah, I like him as a .
I like his voice.
Oh yeah, the way he talks.
Yeah, he like him as a.
I like his voice.
Speaker 2 (46:30):
Oh yeah, the way he talks.
Yeah, he's got a great voiceBecause he is from England right
, If I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 1 (46:34):
I think so, but well, you know he has to be, because
he was actually rumored to be upfor the James Bond role.
At least I don't know if hestill is, at least at one point
he was.
Yeah, I really like him too.
Speaker 2 (46:45):
He's pretty good, yeah, he would be excellent too.
Okay, moving on.
Speaker 1 (46:48):
Well, I have to say, I feel like if we picked Jason
Statham, he'd probably justpunch the volcano into
submission.
Speaker 2 (46:53):
Probably.
Speaker 1 (46:54):
I love Jason Statham.
Speaker 2 (46:55):
I do too.
Yeah, he's great too.
Speaker 1 (46:57):
Especially in Snatch and Lock Stock and Two Smoking
Barrels.
Great movies Anyways.
Speaker 2 (47:01):
Okay, the Mona Lisa theft.
Okay, if you could successfullysteal any historical artifact
and get away with it, what wouldyou take?
And now, are we selling thisartifact or are we just keeping
it for personal possession?
Speaker 1 (47:17):
Well, I mean, I guess it could be a two-parter.
Okay.
So personal possession, whatwould you do?
What the hell is it called?
It's got a specific name, Ithink, but the headpiece thing
that King Tut wore in hissarcophagus, oh nice.
That would be for me, thatwould be for you.
Speaker 2 (47:40):
That would be fucking cool.
That would be cool, yeah, okay,what?
Speaker 1 (47:43):
is that called?
Do you know what I'm talkingabout?
It's not so much even hissarcophagus, because that's very
well known and pictured.
Didn't he also had a headpiecetype thing over him, if I'm not
mistaken?
Speaker 2 (47:53):
Yeah, I don't think I know the name of it.
Speaker 1 (47:55):
Or I'm getting it mixed up with the sarcophagus,
but I'm pretty sure I'm right onthis.
Speaker 2 (47:59):
Yeah, I don't know, that would be cool.
Speaker 1 (48:03):
That'd be kind of neat.
Yeah, oh boy, that's a greatquestion.
Speaker 2 (48:08):
And like get away with it.
Speaker 1 (48:10):
Like how would you get away with it, though I mean,
that's super like dark web.
Speaker 2 (48:14):
This is the perfect world.
Speaker 1 (48:15):
But it's not.
Speaker 2 (48:16):
They'd be like, oh you stole it, oh you sold it,
all right, and they'd just moveon.
Case closed.
Speaker 1 (48:23):
Oh man, oh okay, I'm going to switch that.
I would self the King Tut piece.
Oh okay, For my personal ownself, I would steal Starry Night
.
Speaker 2 (48:37):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (48:40):
I love that.
That's my favorite painting.
Speaker 2 (48:42):
And then that can be your background piece.
Speaker 1 (48:43):
Oh that would be so great.
I'll put that back here.
Sit behind me.
It's real.
Speaker 2 (48:49):
Oh, what would be so great.
I'll put that back here.
Sit behind me.
It's real.
Oh, what would I take?
I don't know, okay, I don'tknow.
Okay, okay, I think I wouldtake and keep the original,
which I think there might be acouple of pairs, but the
original ruby slippers fromWizard of Oz.
Speaker 1 (49:10):
Oh yeah, I think I would keep those.
If I'm not mistaken, weren'tthose lost for a long time, lost
, I should say.
Speaker 2 (49:17):
There's a whole lot of shit background on the making
of Wizard of Oz and I wantedthat to be a story at one time,
but it was a little overwhelmingbecause there's a lot.
It's my favorite movie.
I love it.
Speaker 1 (49:30):
I well-meaning, because there's a lot.
So it's my favorite movie.
I love it.
I don't remember I don't knowif I'm remembering this wrong,
right or wrong for that matterbut I want to say the original
ruby slippers from the movie wasin a private collection for the
longest time they thought theywere lost.
I want to say they showed up.
I could be completely fuckingthis up yeah and just
misremembering, or mandelaeffect or whatever you want to
call it, but um, I want to saythat was a thing, but I I don't,
(49:52):
I don't recall yeah if that'sright or not, but anyways well,
I mean that would be pretty coolwhat would I steal and sell?
Yeah, painting uh, classic carI mean oh boy.
Oh yeah, I don't know, I'dprobably steal werner brothers
(50:20):
like this movie studio yeah, andthat's all it I'd like to ask
another follow-up question whatis wrong with you?
How are you gonna steal that?
Speaker 2 (50:34):
just take all the shares.
Speaker 1 (50:36):
I don't know, these are mine, I'll sell them back to
you, at a fair market value ornot, oh my god oh, what could I
steal?
What the fuck.
Speaker 2 (50:54):
Okay, I'm going to go all Despicable Me and I'm going
to steal the pyramids.
Speaker 1 (51:00):
So it's funny, before I came up with my actual
answers, I was thinking the samething.
Were you really?
Yes, something ridiculous likestealing the pyramid, like
Despicable Me, because wasn'tthere something else famous he
stole in that movie?
Speaker 2 (51:15):
He was going to try for the moon, that's right.
He stole the little Las VegasEiffel Tower.
That's right, we stole theEiffel Tower.
It's from Vegas, but it stillcounts.
Speaker 1 (51:29):
I mean, it's still an Eiffel Tower, just in the wrong
spot, I guess.
Okay, okay, oh, that's funny.
Speaker 2 (51:35):
Let's wrap this up a little bit.
What's happening on HistoryBuffoons, Like what can people
kind of expect?
Speaker 1 (51:42):
Well, we got a few episodes in mind that we're
actually going to probably havesome guests on.
That will be the first timedoing that, so that'll be
interesting.
Speaker 2 (51:53):
Yes, we have two people in mind.
Both of them are friends.
So, tara, whom we love, she is.
She loves the story of Rasputin, his rise, his fall, his
presence with weird he was.
Yeah, his presence with theRomanovs and that whole story.
(52:14):
So I would like to do a deepdive on that and have her on.
Speaker 1 (52:17):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (52:18):
And then our friend Audra.
She is really curious about theDyatlov Pass.
Speaker 1 (52:26):
Yes, which I don't know much about.
You told me that.
Speaker 2 (52:29):
Nine hikers disappeared and no one knows why
right well, they didn'tdisappear, they all died.
Excuse me, nine hikers, alldied they don't know the
circumstances, kind of thingyeah, so there's lots of
theories and she, she wants totheory us to death.
So that's that.
I was like sure let's do thaton camera yeah, no, that'd be
fun.
Speaker 1 (52:46):
I'm totally on board to do that, especially because I
don't know much about that one.
Yeah, I'm not saying I'm anexpert on Rasputin, but I know
of him a lot better, basicallyBetter yeah, so, yeah.
So we're going to be doing thatas a couple future episodes.
We're not sure when we'll getthose in, but hopefully you can
expect those in thenot-too-distant future, not too
distant future.
Obviously, you have a couplemore topics that I don't want to
(53:08):
know about, right?
So we won't say those, cause Iwant to know them firsthand.
The only reason why we kind ofdiscussed those ones is cause,
while we're having a guest onand don't want it to be like
just talking at me without theother person you know, just
being like, okay, why am I here?
Yeah, yeah At least again we'relearning We've never had a
guest on.
It will be very interesting todo that.
Speaker 2 (53:29):
It'll be fun.
Speaker 1 (53:31):
It'll be a great time , and then it's going to be a
whole new.
How do I format this forYouTube?
So that'll be good.
But speaking of YouTube then ofcourse, this is going to be our
fourth one.
Speaker 2 (53:46):
Is that right?
Speaker 1 (53:47):
Fourth one so our first one was that right fourth
one.
So our first one was kentuckyderby.
We had a camera difficulty ortowards what the last third of
our I I found a nice uh, havingtechnical difficulties picture
and just put that up.
Um, so we don't, we're learning, we we're looking into things
(54:08):
to use for recording.
The things that we usecurrently are.
I did.
I didn't expect that to happen,so I'll take the blame on that.
I don't mind, but but yeah, sowe started doing actual
recordings of our podcast to puton youtube instead of just
having audio on youtube, becausewe've I think think I put our
(54:28):
episodes at the time it was backin October up and of course,
everyone since then has beenavailable.
But it's just been our picture,which is fine, but try to be a
little more engaging and so on.
And then, of course, you'vebeen doing for us a lot of the
well, we've recorded them andyou've been putting up the
shorts for past episodes, andthen, of course, we're going to
(54:52):
start putting those out withcurrent episodes.
Of course, we're just kind ofplaying catch up on that,
because we're a little bit newto the YouTube portion of our
podcast.
Speaker 2 (55:03):
And technically we're on TikTok as well.
Speaker 1 (55:05):
We are.
Speaker 2 (55:07):
We're not engaged on TikTok, but but there are videos
.
Are there as well?
Speaker 1 (55:10):
I mean it's same thing we would rather focus on
on youtube.
I just thought, since we havethem let's just put them up yeah
so you know, if we get a viewor two, great, if not, no, I'm
not concerned.
I'd rather.
I'd rather reach people onyoutube, because then they can
get to these long form videosthat we have and get to know us
better, and so on.
Speaker 2 (55:30):
So um, I am also creating a pinterest board for
each episode.
Um, I'm I'm just starting it,so I only have a couple of our
initial episodes up, butbasically, if I source something
, it's going to be in thatpinterest board.
So whether a certain book oryeah whatever, so you can have a
(55:50):
link to that and our photos andit's going to link all of that
in my pinterest board.
Speaker 1 (55:56):
Yeah, so yeah, which will be great because it's just
another format for people tokind of see what we're doing and
and engage and interact, which,um brings me to the next point,
which is we're always lookingfor beer suggestions.
We do a pretty decent job attrying to find other ones, but
of course, depending on where wego, we're a little bit limited
(56:20):
to what they have, of course.
So I try and keep my eyes outin different areas for a cool
liquor store or something likelet's try that, or whatever.
And I'd say 9.5 out of 10, we dobeer over cocktails.
Once a while we'll throw acocktail, and so if you got any
fancy cocktail suggestions, aslong as they're not too in-depth
, I will make it yeah um, ofcourse, any topics that people
would like to have us look into,that you think is really cool
(56:44):
and you know a lot about, andsay, hey, you should look at
this.
Or just like, I would like toknow more about this.
We're more than willing to uh,talk about them and do the
research and whatever, and havea conversation about those.
And, of course, um, somethingfor me which is more idioms,
which I get a lot from you, Iget a lot from tara, I get a
decent amount from nathan hereand there, um, I think of a lot
(57:06):
of them.
Just come across, I'm across ineveryday life, it's like fuck,
that's an idiom.
It's getting to the point whereI need to figure out a new
filing system for how many wehave and I can just start
telling everyone that is doublesuggested, I guess, or multiple
suggestions for it, but I justwant to keep track of better
track of all the ones we've used, so I don't, I don't want to
(57:27):
repeat one.
Yeah, of course, but uh, yeah.
So if you have any beersuggestions, any topic
suggestions or any idioms thatyou like use, want to know more
about that, we can look into.
We, uh, would greatlyappreciate you reaching out to
us and you can, you know, ofcourse, find us.
You can leave comments in ourvideos on youtube.
You can reach us, reach out tous at history buffoons podcast

there with us um, uh, eveninstagram, twitter, all that
stuff, you can leave comments,messages, whatever yep or x,

So, yeah, reach out to us,please and give us some
(58:12):
suggestions, because we want tointeract with the fans as much
as we can and, yeah, justwouldn't mind getting something
that someone wants to learn moreabout, I guess, is what I'm
saying.
So, anyways, well, I supposeAll right.
