When newlywed John returns from his California nuptials, the podcast takes a refreshingly personal turn as Matt recounts his best man experience and the unexpected drama surrounding the wedding's signature cocktail. The "Simply Peach Juice debacle" becomes a running joke throughout the episode, as the hosts describe their frantic day-before search for this elusive ingredient, only to run out during cocktail hour anyway.
What makes this episode particularly enjoyable is how organically it transitions from wedding talk to an impromptu American history quiz session. John reveals he's been tasked with creating Fourth of July trivia for his workplace, and Matt becomes the reluctant guinea pig for testing these questions. Their back-and-forth banter creates both humor and genuine historical insights as they debate the difficulty level and entertainment value of each question.
The trivia section uncovers fascinating Independence Day connections many listeners might not know: Calvin Coolidge was the only U.S. president born on July 4th; Thomas Jefferson and John Adams both died on July 4th, 1826 (exactly 50 years after the Declaration of Independence); and Italian patriot Giuseppe Garibaldi, born on July 4th, 1807, was offered but refused a commission in the Union Army during the Civil War.
Beyond just facts, the episode showcases the hosts' different approaches to making history engaging. John tends toward straightforward questions, while Matt advocates for injecting humor to make the trivia more memorable. Their friendly disagreement about whether questions should be multiple choice or fill-in-the-blank reflects wider debates about history education – should we focus on accessibility or deeper knowledge?
Whether you're planning your own history-themed trivia night or simply enjoy learning American history through casual conversation, this episode delivers both entertainment and education in equal measure. What Fourth of July fact would surprise your friends the most? Let us know and join the historical conversation!

Speaker 1 (00:20):
Hey fans, let's all congratulate the newlywed here.
Mr John, Is there a differentMr for?
Speaker 2 (00:31):
a married man.
No.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
And if it is, it hasn't been in about 100 years,
I'm sure.
Is there something that's a Mrfor somebody who's not married,
like that's a mister forsomebody who's not married, like
there's a miss and missus?
I think it's only mister, likemister, mister, fantastic band
miss.
(00:54):
Is there an equivalent manequivalent to miss versus missus
, the male equivalent of miss,and to Miss versus Mrs?
The male equivalent of Miss andMrs is Mr.
Unlike the feminine titleswhich denote marital status, mr
is used for all men, regardlessof their marital status.
(01:17):
For young boys, master issometimes used, but it is less
common in modern usage.
I think I'm going to go byMaster.
I will do that and next timeyou go to Colonial Williamsburg
you'll be ready Maybe.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
We'll see.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
We actually have an ancillary fan of the podcast
heading to Williamsburg for theweek and I told him to buckle on
up.
He didn't listen to theepisodes, so I don't really know
what he's getting himself into.
Well, just tell him to go earlyin the day, don't fuss around.
(01:55):
I gave him the cliff notes, sowe'll see if that works.
He said he was going to listento it, but can't even.
I mean I say he's an ancillaryfan because I think he's
listened to a couple episodes hethinks it's stupid, I'm pretty
(02:16):
sure.
And I can't even get him tolisten to something that's about
where he's going to be spendinga week coming up.
So that's a pretty bad sign forthat.
Is this a relation of yours, noFriend?
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Yeah, you know, kind of friend you know.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
He's a good friend of mine, not as good of a friend
of yours, mr H, mr H, hmm, mr His going to have himself a week
going down with a couple ofcouples.
Some kids are going to bearound.
I told him it's not gonna befun he's like yeah zh, yeah,
(02:55):
he's, um, he's.
Uh.
He was gonna go to jamestownand I told him like, so I was
like at first I was giving himthe advice that we kind of
settled on where it was like,don't go to the one without an E
, just go to the one with an E,because the one without an E is
(03:16):
just kind of like a bunch ofnitwits run that thing, you know
Right.
But he's going with children.
So if I were to go withchildren, I think I would
probably pick jamestown with noe over jamestown with an e.
But I told him, if I told him,if he goes to jamestown without
(03:38):
an e, to make sure that hefollows, he goes to the museum
first, of course.
That's the pause that I wasgoing to give too.
Yes, I think it would totallychange our perspective.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
I'm still not very optimistic and don't spend so
much time at the state flags.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Yeah, that's a waste.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
What were you saying?
I talked over you.
No, you're fine, I talked overyou.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
What were you saying?
Just watch the little video atthe beginning, get yourself into
the museum part, get out there,check out some boats, check out
some log cabins.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Well, I told him about the Get out of there.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Oh, dude, I got to tell him to stop at the tobacco
fields and take a picture, gotto see how those things are.
I think they'll be knee high byjuly.
Oh, I gotta tell him.
I gotta tell him to stop there.
(04:36):
I um, oh man, I forgot to tellhim about that.
Hopefully he listens, but Idon't think he went.
He's got six hours to listendown there.
So well, he um.
Yeah, I forgot about that.
And when I brought up the boats, I was just telling him about
Jamestown without an E and Isaid, yeah, they have the boats
there like models of the boatsthat they landed there with.
He's like, oh, that's prettycool.
(04:57):
I'm like, yeah, when we werethere they were working on them,
so we couldn't go on them.
That was the first kick in thenuts of multitudes kicking the
nuts that weekend Multiple ofthem.
Definitely tell him.
If he wants to go to House ofBurgesses, do it early.
I told him what I said was justkeep in mind that Peanut soup
can wait.
(05:17):
That's true.
I don't know if I told himabout the peanut soup, but I did
tell him.
I'm sure the fans are reallyexcited to listen to us recap
our most recent episodes.
But I told him that even thoughit says the park is open till 9
, everything closes at 5.
He needs to be aware.
(05:38):
Just check himself before hegets in there.
He's lucky dude.
He's lucky.
He's got a chance.
He's got a chance to have agood time If he feeds our advice
, and that starts by being a fanand listening to this podcast.
If he doesn't do that, well,he's got what's coming to him.
So, anyway, fans, welcome toanother episode of the Nailing
(05:59):
History podcast.
Fresh off of a big old trip toCalifornia.
Big time podcast.
Fresh off of a big old trip tocalifornia.
Um, big time john make hisnuptials, is that what?
Speaker 2 (06:13):
you say lauren with, yes, with a lauren g, now, soon,
well, lauren n lauren.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
And now that you've put my last name on blast did I
when lauren john oh yeah, ohyeah, I can edit that out.
Find me on LinkedIn.
It's my social hey in SutterCreek.
Yeah, it was a good week.
Oh, I did want to give you aheads up so I gave some of our
(06:40):
bigger fans, brian K, andrew Sand Dick Pepperfield.
I was hanging out with them onFriday and they asked me how it
went.
And I was telling a Andrew Sand Dick Pepperfield.
I was hanging out with them onFriday and they asked me how it
went and I was telling them acouple things and they were
laughing.
We were yucking it up.
But the one thing that I'vemade sure to talk about was the
Simply Peach Juice debacle andit was funny.
(07:02):
So, fans, if you don't know,john here and Lauren chose a
signature drink for theirwedding, as most people do.
It was called the Naughty Well,I guess I can't even say what
the name's called, but it wascalled the Naughty N Well.
I can't say that.
That sounds it's California.
We weren't getting married inMississippi.
(07:23):
I mean, come on.
So it was a signature drink.
And what was the signaturedrink?
What did it include?
What was the concoction youguys decided on here?
It included there was analcoholic version and
non-alcoholic version.
Alcoholic version includesSauvignon Blanc, peach juice Yep
, simply peach juice, limeseltzer water and a dash of
(07:48):
something else.
I forget.
It was good I had one, but justto give a recap John here.
So we were.
John was being a diva, myopinion, he was being a diva the
whole week, but Friday camearound.
I had to check out of my room.
I didn't have anywhere to go,so I went over and was hanging
out with John.
I said, hey, man, is thereanything that we really need to
do today to get ready fortomorrow?
(08:10):
So this was Friday, the weddingwas Saturday.
John says oh, yeah, we need topick up peach juice for our
signature the day before.
I said Peach juice.
Okay, where do you get that?
Oh, any grocery store.
So we go around, me and John.
So there were two groups ofpeople running errands so we
were all kind of looking forthis peach juice, simply Peach.
(08:32):
And John and I struck out.
But the other group I thinkthey were able to get seven of
them, eight of them, so six.
But we needed nine Our goal wasnine, I think if we came back to
the house with six and that wasa very low goal, but that's
fine, it does so at the end ofthe day it didn't really matter,
because they ran out of it bythe end of cocktail hour, I'm
(08:54):
pretty sure.
So it's not like if we, it'snot like if we would have gotten
nine.
It would have lasted the wholetime so it didn't really matter
but our fans, but our fans andguests of the wedding, like, say
, fans, because they all, theyall heard about this podcast.
So if any of you were at thewedding, you know that you would
.
If you're a new subscriber,welcome to the show.
Uh, they pivoted, they worked,they thought it was so good, so
(09:18):
refreshing that they went aheadand started using peach white
claws as a replacement for thesimply peach juice.
So you know, our guests, ourfans, are very resourceful like
that and uh, it worked.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
It was a great time, but I?
Speaker 1 (09:33):
the reason I bring that up is I got a text from
fred at the show.
Brian k, he said, got everysimply drink under the sun at
acme, except peach.
To To which I responded becauseI happened to be grocery
shopping at the time.
I said LMAO, same at Wegmans.
Then Brian K said I washoodwinked, it's all I think
(09:55):
about now.
And I said I do want some.
So I was given it and we talkedabout it.
Actually, dick Pepperfield is afan of it already.
He said he just topped it.
He polished off a bottle acouple weeks ago, so he likes
the Simply Peach.
He was shocked that we waiteduntil the day before to look for
it.
It's a little bit hard to find,apparently, but just wanted to
bring that up.
(10:15):
I thought that was funny.
Now, was he drinking this as aresult of you telling him about
it, or was he just dick dickpepperfield?
Yes, oh, just by himself.
He didn't hear about it untilfriday.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Okay, wow, it's good stuff, it's quite good stuff,
but it's only like what 20 realfruit?
Speaker 1 (10:34):
what was this percentage?
It was some ridiculouspercentage oh yeah, I think the
peach one yeah, I think thepeach one is like the only one
that's not 100 juice orsomething anywhere close to 100.
It's like 17 juice.
One that's not 100% juice orsomething Anywhere close to 100%
.
It's like 17% juice.
I think it was like 5% orsomething ridiculous.
It was refreshing, it was good.
Cocktail or drink was a hit andyeah, the whole wedding was a
(10:59):
great, great time.
It was very hot.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Hey John.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
So, yeah, we're not going to go through a whole
recap of the wedding.
Um, as john said, I was thebest man.
He said that before, so I wasstressing about my speech, which
I did pretty well.
It's funny, every single speechthat was made, um, so the um,
what do you?
The officiant of the wedding?
(11:24):
I guess you could say Yep, sheshe gave a speech like as part
of the service.
The service and what I said isher speech was very good and so
the whole time I was standing upat the altar the whole time.
I'm like she's doing way betterthan me.
This stinks Like alreadygetting outshined at the
(11:47):
beginning.
I'm like I'm not going to beable to follow this up.
It was a good speech and aspart of the vows that she had
you guys read, I believe she gotLaurenN LaurenNowN to agree to
always support the podcast.
I do think I heard that.
(12:11):
Yes, so that's legally binding.
That's the state of california,at least, for sure.
So.
So if she doesn't, you can getan annulment.
Could you imagine the contract?
Speaker 2 (12:23):
states.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Cause for divorce, doesn't support my pocket, won't
let me live my dreams, but shewould never not support it, of
course.
Well, she doesn't listen to itby any stretch of the
imagination.
Let's just call it what it is.
But I will say she's veryencouraging and always asked hey
, are you potting this weekend?
Hey, are you potting thisweekend?
(12:46):
Hey, are you potting thisweekend?
And she upgraded her internet,Did the upgrade, as we know and
as you said during the speech,which she was not thrilled to
hear she wasn't, no, I mean shelaughed.
She laughed it over.
You think she was mad that Isaid about the internet.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Not mad.
Is that something you didn'twant?
Speaker 1 (13:07):
people to know about, kind of take on, you know, kind
of beating the dead horse, kindof thing, I guess you know we
sort of said, hey, it's badSeven or eight months ago, but
it did take us long enough tofinally fix it.
But as soon as we fixed it it'sbeen pretty good.
But yeah, so the officiantshouted out the podcast.
(13:28):
Lauren's sister, who was themaid of honor, shouted out the
podcast.
I forget exactly what her shoutout was, but I do remember she
mentioned it and then I justshouted it out through my speech
.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Continuously.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
We're just running out of podcasts.
We haven't been even puttingout remotely it was.
It was a giant plug for thepodcast.
That's what I took it as howmany people were there?
145, something like that.
So 145 people heard about ourpodcast three times at one
wedding and we got.
So I'm like, oh man, we're atleast going to have to get 30
(14:09):
downloads, like this upcomingweek at least.
I think we got eight that perepisode, or just an overall,
just overall.
Oh geez, I thought there wasgonna be someone who were gonna
just like you know, get a hookline and sink and they were
going to download all 38episodes.
Yeah, I feel like it's not agreat sign.
(14:29):
Here.
People are encouraging.
You don't want to bringanything down.
I mean, I think the positivitywas there.
I think there was a lot of goodbuzz in the air.
I think people were having funwith it.
I will say a little update onthe podcast demographics.
I got an email here from thiscompany called PodSEO or Podseo,
(14:53):
I'm not sure this is what itsays.
Hi there, when listeners searchfor Spanish democracy on Apple
Podcasts or Spotify, nailingHistory appears as result 7.
But did you know?
It's also result number 18 forhistory enthusiasts and result
number 63 for peculiar histories.
So that's from Andrea DeMarcy,founder pod CEO, spanish.
(15:18):
I don't know how.
How would Spanish democracy be?
Did we ever talk?
Speaker 2 (15:23):
about this.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
We did talk about this we did talk about.
We had that episode aboutChristopher Columbus, the
Spanish.
Were we ever talking, wasn't itthis week in this history,
about the Spanish Civil War?
Am I just?
I think you're just Projecting,making something up I think so,
but yeah, so we got ourdemographics down.
I like that Number 18 forhistory enthusiasts.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
I can't believe we only have three downloads an
episode.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Well, hey, also it almost sounds like they might be
lying just to get us to paythem money for their service.
But hey, who's to?
So we don't really have muchplanned for this episode, we
wanted to just get on.
I surprised John on recordinghere.
He wanted to just kind of do a,I guess, a plan for the summer.
You know, a to-do list for thesummer?
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Try to get a A to-do list.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Yeah, try to get a what would you call it?
A rubric or a syllabus?
Yeah, I guess so.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
For the summer.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
But I don't want to do that necessarily.
I wanted to get on the airwavesand, um, what really got me
thinking like, hey, why don't werecord this is, john, what have
you been working on all weekend?
Well, fans, I, as some of youmay know, I've started a
relatively new job over half ayear now but I volunteered to
(16:47):
help throw a 4th of July triviaJuly.
Don't act like you're notexcited about this.
You're such a joke.
Oh, I volunteered, I was part ofthis cultural committee and we
(17:08):
have a culture week every yearat the end of june and it kind
of wraps up.
I think this fourth of julytrivia is the big.
It's the big shebang.
It's the kind of the you know,the final firework, as you may
say, to round off culture week.
At my, at my work, thepressure's on and I literally
just attended my very firstmeeting like a month ago and
they were like, uh, hey, we needsome ideas for July and we
(17:28):
normally do a trivia.
And I'm like, oh, that could beinteresting.
And they're like, can you runit?
And I'm like, okay, sure, whynot?
So I don't really know what I'mgetting into.
I've been making these slidesall day and a little bit of chat
GPT, a little bit of MicrosoftCopilot.
I'll be honest.
I'll be honest Help frame whatI want to do.
(17:50):
And yeah, I think what we'regoing to do here is Matt's going
to be my guinea pig.
I already ran these by Lauren Gand her sister and I got some
feedback, but I think Matt'sgoing to tell us the mystery,
get the fans' feedback.
dude Get the fans' feedback.
Yeah, we got a week.
We got a week, dick Peep.
(18:13):
Mr Pepperfield, we need you tobe on top of it.
We haven't had a message in awhile.
Well, technically, thesequestions.
Also no messages from any ofthe wedding guests, big new fans
, okay, big.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
No messages from any of the wedding guests.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Big new fans.
Okay, big new fans, where youat, come on.
But technically the superiorswill have to approve these
questions anyway.
But I think we'll be in theclear.
I don't think there's anythingthat's going to get flagged.
Yeah, I'll be the judge of that.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
We'll just see.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Let's go All right.
So anyone who were Any ofJohn's coworkers who he hasn't
told about the podcast yet andjust happened to be stuck, do
you want to say where you work?
So they if maybe there'slisteners, they don't recognize
your voice.
You want to let them know?
Don't think I should?
Okay, well if you work in thelet's just do it this way If you
work in Baltimore City, stoplistening to the podcast.
(19:02):
Good call Flat out, just turnoff the.
Your power's probably cut offanyway.
If you live in Baltimore City,anyway, power's probably gone
out.
What's that supposed to mean?
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
It's a safe, can't pay their bills.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Very safe and pleasant town, love it.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Every minute of it, yikes.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Anyway, it's a chill place.
A lot of history, pratt streetI suggested to my some of my
co-workers doing a walk down,like a historical walk kind of
thing.
But we'll see what shakes out.
But anyway, moving on.
So how's it?
So let's, let's just get downto it.
Um, let's try to speed throughit a little bit for the fans, so
(19:41):
they aren't you know.
I got 33 questions for you.
How is it broken out In roundsor how do you?
have the scoring figured outWell, I had it.
Is this a Jeopardy style?
No, it's just a matter ofmultiple choice mixed in with
some type in the answer.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Multiple choice.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Yeah, I have to be cognizant of different people at
my work and some of thesequestions if I like the numbers
based ones are multiple choice,primarily so that people aren't
taking guesses at random numbersand getting nowhere near it.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
excuse me, so you could just say who's the closest
, but okay, whatever.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Yeah, but I'm trying to use the software.
They want me to use thesoftware where, uh, I can
present and like share my screenin a presentation room and then
, like anyone who's working fromhome can also participate by
just logging into the site ontheir phone and all the answers
are just tallied up there and itkind of does all the work for
you.
Long story short, I put effortinto it, but I didn't want to
(20:46):
put that much effort into it, soI put effort into the questions
in terms of how I actually wentahead and made those.
So how is it?
So?
Is it just one round and like ascore?
Is that?
Speaker 2 (20:57):
it, or is there?
Well, what I've got?
Speaker 1 (20:59):
I have.
Yeah, I kind of broke it offinto three rounds.
The categories are Three roundsof 11 questions, each
Interesting.
It's just what it came out to.
So there were kind of threedifferent rounds Food, fireworks
and festivities this isco-pilot talking here.
Food, fireworks and festivitiesBorn and died in the USA, and
(21:24):
then stars, stripes and andindependence.
So the first category the first, like 11 questions are kind of
more like pop culture relatedand festivities and food and all
that stuff.
Uh born and died in is likethings that happened on july 4th
throughout this board and dieyeah I'm not actually going to
(21:45):
say these categories during thepresentation because again, the
software I'm using isn't lettingme kind of give categories to
these.
But anyway, and then Stars andStripes is a kind of more
history, although a lot of themare mostly history, but you'll
see, nothing too crazy I thinkyou should do very well, if you
don't get north of 90%, I'll bea little embarrassed for you.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
I'm going out on a limb.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
If I do bad, I guess I just won't publish the episode
.
You need 29 questions to pass.
I thought it was 33.
Oh okay, you need 29, right,all right, here we go.
Oh okay, 29, right, all right,here we go.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
All right everybody.

Island is part of New York City.
Yeah, because, yeah, coneyIsland's not a city and Coney
Island is part of New York City.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you mightwant to say what area of New

Wait, you're going to keep theanswer being new york.

Oh my God, you got to watch the movie again.
Speaker 2 (30:06):

fine, I got another one.
(30:29):
I think I got I think I'm alsomind you, most of my colleagues,
I, I think probably 80% of themEnglish is their second
language.
So I think, going into theobscure details of a 30-year-old
film, I don't know, it was aninternational blockbuster and
they'll know, and they're alsovery young.
The younger people at my work.
(30:51):

leaderboard and it's going toshow how everyone's doing and
then I'll say, hey, someone'sdoing great.
Is that the 11th question?
Yeah, so I only got one, two,three, four, five, six.
I got seven.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
You're already.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
You got to clear the.
I just don't understand how youthink that asking about Randy
Quaid flying a fighter jet up tothe gut of an alien mothership
saying I'm back.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
It's not the mothership, it wasn't the
mothership.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
You're right.
I know that how you think thatwould be harder for them to get
than who was president, thatCalvin Coolidge was born on the
fourth of July.
But whatever, that's fine.
No, I mean it's a guess, butit's like very american.
It's very surprised you didn'tsay which two presidents died.
Died on the fourth of julywould have been a better one.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
But okay, well where are we?
Speaker 1 (33:08):
we're at the 13th, 12th question here.
Which us state is known as thebirthplace of the american
revolution?
Massachusetts, virginia,pennsylvania or new york?
I guess massachusetts.
Which US state is known as thebirthplace of the American

Fourth of July directed byOliver Stone.
This is not a multiple choice.
(33:38):
Tom Cruise, you ever see thatmovie?
Yes, I saw the first 15 minutesof it and then I don't know why
I never finished it.
When he was like Syracuse Doesit At the beginning of that
movie.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
He's like a real all-American guy at high school,
right, I think he's a wrestlerin high school and then he asked
this girl to go to prom withhim or something, and she tells
him no.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
So he joins the military instead.
I think he was always going tojoin the military, I think he
was just that kind of a guy.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Maybe he was already in there.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
And then Willem Dafoe , just mans up.
I think he's in that okay isthat I I think you're whatever.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
Yeah, willem dafoe, he meets him in mexico and
they're both like pissed off.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
Like at that point there are, they're both like
pissed off.
That's like randy little, randyquaid s, you might say, but I
don't think they're flyingfighter jets.
Okay, which two frenemypresidents died on july 4th 1826
?
The 50th anniversary the 50thanniversary of the signing of
(34:52):
the Declaration of Independence.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Thomas Jefferson.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
James Monroe, john Adams, james Madison.
If instead of like frenemies,maybe you could be like on again
, off again, friends orsomething would be kind of
funnier way to say it.
I think frenemy encapsulate onagain.
This thing also has a characterlimit.
I should have said that.
I probably should preface that.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Thomas.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Jefferson and John Adams.
That is correct.
Did you know that John Adamsthought Thomas Jefferson?
His last words were ThomasJefferson still lives.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
I think so.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
Was he.
He didn't know that he didn'tknow.
Yeah, on July 4th of this year.
Were they the last two of therevolutionary generation to die,
kind of?
I think Charles Carroll wasyeah, but I mean you're thinking
of the heavy hitters.
They were the last two.
Charles Carroll was a prettybig heavy hitter.
Well in pop culture.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
Maybe you should ask that question National.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
Treasure, they asked.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
He's like the last founding father referenced in
National Treasure, so youfinally watched it huh, I
learned that.
So you finally watched it.

Speaker 1 (36:04):
You finally watched it.
Huh yeah, Talk about Charles.
Carrow Couldn't wait for meit's all right.
Mr R Wanted to watch it.
Mr R wanted to watch it I thinkit was on and then we paused it
and watched it and then thesecond one.
That's got me all chapped up.
The second one's good, firstone's great.
I'd re-watch it.
(36:24):
I mean we probably should do it.
That's a good movie review.
I said that but you were likenot about it.
But then I guess I don't know.
Mr R, good for him.
Charles.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
Carroll died at 1832.
I guess he listened to him morethan me.
That's fine.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
Okay, keep going.
Last of the Romans, as they sayOkay.
On July 4th of this year,france formally presented the
Statue of Liberty to the USAmbassador in Paris.
1848, 1914, 1865, 1884.

commission in the union armyduring the american civil war.
Camillo benzo.
Italian patriot, was born onJuly 4th 1807 and offered a
commission in the Union Armyduring the American Civil War

Stupid question, doesn't matter.
We got Italian blood at my work.
See the third one, giuseppeMazzini.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
Incorrect Garibaldi, really.
Yeah, that's the Garibaldi.
Yeah, he was born in America.
He wasn't born in America.
I didn't say that he was born onthe 4th of July and offered a
commission in the Union Army,but he refused it because the
war aim for Lincoln wasn't toend slavery at that time.
(37:58):
Okay, they should have a movieabout Garibaldi called Port of
the 4th of July.
I mean, he lived, he madecandles up in Staten Island for
a while he was in the US.
I want to go see that.
All right, which Americanfounding father, diplomat and

Bruce Springsteen, that song isabout Vietnam veterans.

Speaker 2 (42:54):
I think I got two more.
Speaker 1 (42:55):
It's 21 or 22.
I don't know where we're at.
All, right, keep going.
I think we're at question 22.
Oh man, you're really breakingup here.
My stuff's fine Interesting.
Okay, keep going.
This colony, established in1607, is where the first
(43:18):
permanent English settlement inNorth America was born.
Oh, with an E or without an E?
No, it's not the name of thesettlement.
Oh wait, what's the question?
It said this colony,established in 1607, is where
the first permanent Englishsettlement in North.
America was born.
Is this going to be multiplechoice or no?
(43:39):
No, that's a good question.
Virginia Right Could say colonyof Virginia.
Jamestown is not correct.
Jamestown was a settlement inthe colony of Virginia.
Then we had another quiz.
Then I got another leaderboard.
Where's the oh wait?
So I'm Matt, and then they getpretty easy.
Then we had another quiz.
Then I got another leaderboard.
Where's the oh wait?
So I'm at.
And then they get pretty easy.
And back to being easy.
I thought that one was easierthan the first one.
(44:02):
Huh, one, two, three, four,five.
You did pretty good there.
Okay, I'm at.
Uh, I think I'm at 16.
I think I'm at 16.
Speaker 2 (44:21):
Ew, ew.
Speaker 1 (44:22):
Cool rock daddy in the USA.
Okay, here's another easy one.
What year was the Declarationof Independence signed?
1776, 1783, 1775, 1781.
What were the choices?
1776, 1783,83, 1775, 1781.
I was thinking I should notmake this one multiple choice,
(44:42):
but near seemed to 1776.
What do you think should I?
it's like the date that anyonethrows around well, I honestly
think that throwing 1775 inthere makes it a more
complicated question, kind ofBecause the war started in 1775,
(45:08):
kind of.
Yeah, so it makes it a littlebit more complicated.
It adds a little bit.
It adds more to it.
If you have that, having thechoices makes it a little bit
more.
It adds a little bit.
It adds more to it, if you havethat.
Speaker 2 (45:16):
Having.
The choices makes it a littlebit.
Speaker 1 (45:18):
If you're going to have the choices in 1775 is one
of the choices that makes it alittle bit more challenging.
I think so, okay, cool.
No multiple choice.
Who was the principal author ofthe Declaration of Independence
?
Tommy Jay, that's right, ourboy.
What do the 13 stripes of theamerican flag represent?
(45:39):
13 founding fathers, 13amendments, 13 original colonies
, 13 years of independence.
I feel like this shouldn't bemultiple choice colonies.
Okay, you don't think so?
Speaker 2 (45:53):
no, okay I'm a cool.
Speaker 1 (46:02):
I'm a cool trivia daddy in the usa, okay moving on
, which state was the first torecognize the 4th of July as a
state holiday?
As a state holiday, huh,delaware, massachusetts again.
(46:27):
Okay, like within.
Speaker 2 (46:29):
The 1780s.
Speaker 1 (46:34):
Okay, I don't know why I said Delaware.
That's stupid.
What is the name of the famousbell that rang to mark the
signing of the decoration ofindependence, recently visited
by Billy Corgan?
Or?
Speaker 2 (46:50):
William Corgan and his family smashing pumpkins
children.
Speaker 1 (46:55):
They actually talked about that on a WMR the next day
after I sent you that tweet.
They were talking about it.
Oh, really cool to see he wastaking.
He was taking in the sites inPhiladelphia.
Apparently he has some sideproject called Billy Corgan and
the Mothers of God or someridiculous name.
(47:16):
They were playing at a TLA,that's why he was in town.
Oh, the Liberty Bell, that'sright.
And the Machines of God.
Sorry, billy Corgan and theMachines of God Sounds like a
Frank Zappa name.
Frank Zappa and the Mothers ofInvention Sounds like a
channeling him.
Which founding father is knownfor his large signature on the
(47:37):
Declaration of Independence?
No, multiple choice.
Ace of Spades, john Hancock.
I got to think of Tommy Boysaying John Hancock it was
Herbie Hancock.
Speaker 2 (47:56):
What is the?
Speaker 1 (47:58):
official name of the US National Anthem, the Star
Spangled Banner.
You're going to do a multiplechoice on that?
I wasn't going to.
Yeah, that's fine.
You're just very inconsistentwith the difficulty that you
want to make this thing, I think.
But it's fine.
Well, that's why I need help.
I need help.
So what should?
(48:18):
So that should be multiplechoice.
Do I need a?
Speaker 2 (48:21):
hard and fast.
Speaker 1 (48:21):
I, I feel like probably Only numbers, like only
the years and numbers getmultiple choices and everything
else you have to type in.
I don't know.
I'll have to re-listen to theepisode and give you my feedback
, which founding father fromVirginia famously said give me
liberty or give me death, notmultiple choice.
That's a tough, not multiplechoice one.
(48:44):
Well, half these kids areamerican educated.
Some of them not all of them,but most of them I bet I would
be curious how many peopleactually would be able to say
that, oh, no one's gonna getthis one right but that's where
you're separating, that's whereI'm separating the uh, it's
fourth of July.
Speaker 2 (49:02):
This is.
Speaker 1 (49:02):
American history.
I don't know what do you wantme to tell you people, sir
Patrick Henry, correct.
How many delegates signed theUS Declaration of Independence?
62, 48, 84, 56.

In what year did the USCongress make the 4th of July a
federal holiday?
1896, 1924, 1870, 1912.
(49:48):
I'm thinking, probably not 24.
Well, 1912, the Titanic.
What was the 18 one?
1896, 1870.
1870, right after the Civil War.
I could see that I'm going tosay 1870.
(50:10):
Correct, just rubbing it in.
Just rubbing it in.
Last question, in what city wasthe Declaration of Independence
written, signed and adopted?
Speaker 2 (50:21):
Philadelphia.
Speaker 1 (50:27):
I didn't give that away in the Liberty Belt one did
I?
No, I don't think I did.
Speaker 2 (50:32):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (50:34):
Literally just an exercise, to just have a.
What do you think?
Speaker 2 (50:39):
What do I think?
Speaker 1 (50:41):
Yeah, we had to do.
I don't know.
I feel like I missed somethingthat I got right.
I was kind of preoccupied, but3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.
I got, I think, 26.
But I could have missed missingone.
(51:01):
It might be 27 or maybe 28.
79% have missed missing one.
It might be 27 or maybe 28.
79 I thought you said to pass Ineeded like a 29, 29 or
something out of 33.
Yeah, passing is over 70.
No, not in this, not for aamateur historian enthusiast
who's been doing a podcast for15, 16 months yeah, but the
(51:24):
questions that I got wrong werethe stupid ones.
Oh who?
Which president was born on the4th of July?
How am I supposed to know that?
Did you know that before youlooked it up?
Yeah, exactly, john shaking hishead.
No, for the fans.
You know the other presidentwho died on the 4th of July.
I didn't include this as aquestion, but just you could
(51:45):
have seen.
You could have seen hisheadstone if you just got out of
your car.
Didn't wimp out, I did wimp out.
Was that Monroe, madison,monroe, monroe.
Tuberculosis gets them all,gets every time rough way to go.
(52:06):
What do you think?
It was pretty?
Speaker 2 (52:10):
It was fine.
It wasn't like wow, that wasgreat trivia.
Speaker 1 (52:15):
I'm so happy we did it.
I think if I were to do that atwork I would have just be kind
of like, well, at least I didn'thave to work.
Sure beats work.
That's kind of what they'regoing for.
I feel like you should throw ina to-do.
Cusco question.
Speaker 2 (52:32):
Bonus.
Speaker 1 (52:33):
What did he do on 4th of July?
You?
should do like Cusco Monument atWest Point was dedicated on
July 4th 1828.
I think it'd be cool if you didlike a Like.
You did Like, if you made itlike who Wants to Be a
(52:57):
Millionaire?
Remember that show where theeasy questions they would have
like as the multiple choice,they would have three legitimate
questions and multiple choice.
They would have like threelegitimate questions and then
one of them was like crazy.
So if you did something likewhat was, what did the?
What was dumped into the BostonHarbor to protest taxes, and
(53:23):
you could say like you could saymine, you could say wine, tea,
ammunition, or like gunpowder orpoop, like that would be funny,
like have it, make it, have itfun like that.
Yeah and no, it's fine, it'sbland, it's bland, it's just
(53:49):
your, your typical chat, gpt,written trivia, I'm sure, which
is fine.
Um, you know, just a matter ofhow you present it.
I guess would be, you know it'sgood well, I'm presenting it on
this no one's gonna say no one'sgonna say you did a bad job.
An opportunity for you to plugthe show.
Maybe I'll try, like uh, makeit a question be like what
(54:18):
podcast started?
Speaker 2 (54:19):
as your head starring , your host, starting, yeah by
your host.
Speaker 1 (54:24):
You could just like not say you do it, just you know
, just say like which podcastthat started in.
Which hit podcast which hitpodcast started in 2024 ranked
the founding fathers using adeck of playing cards.
You could be like we're notaware that it had already
(54:48):
existed.
You could be like HistoryNinjas.
History Ninjas the NailingHistory Podcast, chuck Senti's
Brigade yeah, that would be agood one.
And then just don't, even,don't even say anything.
And then, like, everyone getsit wrong, like, I guess, no, I
thought everyone listened tothat podcast.
(55:10):
Boom, it's easy as that, it'seasy as that no, they just what
you do, these things publicspeaking, getting getting up
presentation skills, I mean,yeah, we'll just see how it all
goes.
Though You're not good at that,I think I'll be fine.
(55:33):
Yeah, it's a little dry, but Ithink we'll be fine.
Speaker 2 (55:40):
Are you going?
Speaker 1 (55:40):
to wear?
Are you going to wear a suit?
Are you a game show host?
Yeah, I should be wearing likea 4th of July tie.
At minimum, you should dresslike Will Ferrell in that SNL
bit when he comes in to work.
(56:02):
I don't know if that was forthe 4th of July, but it was for
like it might have been.
It was like Memorial Day orsomething.
He came in dressed like he hadsome Speedo on or something.
Oh yeah, with the crop top.
Yeah, that would be awesome ifhe showed up like that dude.
(56:22):
It really would.
It would.
That would be awesome if youshowed up like that dude.
It really would.
That would make up for how drythe trivia was.
I truly think my suggestion ofmaking one of the answers funny
could be fun for a couple ofthem.
Okay, so for the multiplechoice ones, obviously, yeah, I
(56:49):
think you might be able to.
You know you have a questionabout the Iran bombing on there
too.
Just dust that one in there, ohmy God.
So when would the confederatestates have celebrated their
(57:13):
independence day?
Do you know?
I don't.
February 8th, my birthday, noway.
It says the confederacy wasformed on february 8th 1861 by
south carolina, mississippi,florida, alabama, georgia,
louisiana and texas how did younot know that they adopted a new
(57:33):
constitution establishing aconfederation government of
sovereign and independent states?
how did you not know that it wason your birthday?
I just did not well anythingelse to leave him with john.
No, we need your feedback.
As we said, we need yourfeedback on the trivia as soon
as possible so john can make thechanges.
(57:54):
When.
When is your?
When it when?
They want to draft they want todraft by tuesday, like two days
from now yeah well, you canalways.
That's just a draft.
Yeah, they're making it prettyofficial yeah wow a lot of
pressure.
Well, they just don't wantanything to be offensive, aka
(58:17):
wearing a speedo that theywouldn't know about.
That obviously they might not,I know it's dry.
I know it's dry, but I think Ijust gotta like let my
personality come through andjust I'll try to just get the
crowd.
Speaker 2 (58:31):
Yeah, that works.
Speaker 1 (58:32):
Yeah, do a little crowd do a little crowd work.
Yeah, let your let yourpersonality come through.
That'll really spice it up, I'msure.
Let the crowd do a little crowdwork.
You, dude, make some of theanswers funny.
It would add to it.
I think you're right.
Which US?
(58:53):
president was born on the 4th ofJuly.
Okay, fine, it's CalvinCoolidge, but what were the
other three?
Well, that wouldn't be one thatyou would make as being funny,
unless you mean it's somethingridiculous Like a not real
president.
That you would make as beingfunny unless you mean it's
something ridiculous like what'sthe name?
Like a, like a not realpresident, like I don't even
(59:13):
know how.
How would you make that?
answer probably who sponsors thelargest fireworks display in
the US, macy's.
So target Amazon or Kohl's.
Which should?
I Hooters that would be funny.
Speaker 2 (59:31):
I would laugh.
Speaker 1 (59:34):
Manny DeVore Enron that would be funny kids would
get that one how would they?
Lehman Brothers Ocean Gate, thepeople who were responsible for
that submarine that imploded.
(59:56):
Look, go to the Titanic.
I just got to.
I just got to.
Just I just got to.
I'm going to be known as theboring trivia guy at work.
That's just what I'm gotta.
Just I just gotta.
It's gonna be known as theboring trivia guy at work.
That's just what I'm gonna benow.
Speaker 2 (01:00:09):
I'm just gonna be the boring trivia guy.
Speaker 1 (01:00:10):
I don't know what to do.
Alright, well, you can, we can.
You can think of that off air.
You got anything else to leaveanyone with?
I wanna say thanks for hangingin there.
Fans any new fans are hangingwith us.
Thanks for anyone who decidedto take the plunge and start
(01:00:34):
going through our back catalog.
I'll just tell myself thatthose eight downloads were all
from the same person A real, areal, a real gem of a fan.
Um, yeah, thanks for.
Thanks for hanging with.
A real gem of a fan.
Yeah, thanks for hanging withand we love you guys.
(01:00:54):
All right, well, let's stopdilly-dallying around.
Good luck on your trivia.
Thank you so much.
I ask that you stay curious andkeep listening.
Give us our feedback on trivia,and feedback on trivia would be
(01:01:15):
much obliged.
We have time, I have time.
So thank you so much.
Nothing like waiting for thelast minute.
Speaker 2 (01:01:26):
Don't need it for another week and a half come on,
man, I got hairy legs and wesay bye, bye.
Hey fans, let's all congratulate the newlywed here.
Mr John, Is there a differentMr for?
Speaker 2 (00:31):
a married man.
No.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
And if it is, it hasn't been in about 100 years,
I'm sure.
Is there something that's a Mrfor somebody who's not married,
like that's a mister forsomebody who's not married, like
there's a miss and missus?
I think it's only mister, likemister, mister, fantastic band
miss.
(00:54):
Is there an equivalent manequivalent to miss versus missus
, the male equivalent of miss,and to Miss versus Mrs?
The male equivalent of Miss andMrs is Mr.
Unlike the feminine titleswhich denote marital status, mr
is used for all men, regardlessof their marital status.
(01:17):
For young boys, master issometimes used, but it is less
common in modern usage.
I think I'm going to go byMaster.
I will do that and next timeyou go to Colonial Williamsburg
you'll be ready Maybe.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
We'll see.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
We actually have an ancillary fan of the podcast
heading to Williamsburg for theweek and I told him to buckle on
up.
He didn't listen to theepisodes, so I don't really know
what he's getting himself into.
Well, just tell him to go earlyin the day, don't fuss around.
(01:55):
I gave him the cliff notes, sowe'll see if that works.
He said he was going to listento it, but can't even.
I mean I say he's an ancillaryfan because I think he's
listened to a couple episodes hethinks it's stupid, I'm pretty
(02:16):
sure.
And I can't even get him tolisten to something that's about
where he's going to be spendinga week coming up.
So that's a pretty bad sign forthat.
Is this a relation of yours, noFriend?
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Yeah, you know, kind of friend you know.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
He's a good friend of mine, not as good of a friend
of yours, mr H, mr H, hmm, mr His going to have himself a week
going down with a couple ofcouples.
Some kids are going to bearound.
I told him it's not gonna befun he's like yeah zh, yeah,
(02:55):
he's, um, he's.
Uh.
He was gonna go to jamestownand I told him like, so I was
like at first I was giving himthe advice that we kind of
settled on where it was like,don't go to the one without an E
, just go to the one with an E,because the one without an E is
(03:16):
just kind of like a bunch ofnitwits run that thing, you know
Right.
But he's going with children.
So if I were to go withchildren, I think I would
probably pick jamestown with noe over jamestown with an e.
But I told him, if I told him,if he goes to jamestown without
(03:38):
an e, to make sure that hefollows, he goes to the museum
first, of course.
That's the pause that I wasgoing to give too.
Yes, I think it would totallychange our perspective.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
I'm still not very optimistic and don't spend so
much time at the state flags.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Yeah, that's a waste.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
What were you saying?
I talked over you.
No, you're fine, I talked overyou.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
What were you saying?
Just watch the little video atthe beginning, get yourself into
the museum part, get out there,check out some boats, check out
some log cabins.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Well, I told him about the Get out of there.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Oh, dude, I got to tell him to stop at the tobacco
fields and take a picture, gotto see how those things are.
I think they'll be knee high byjuly.
Oh, I gotta tell him.
I gotta tell him to stop there.
(04:36):
I um, oh man, I forgot to tellhim about that.
Hopefully he listens, but Idon't think he went.
He's got six hours to listendown there.
So well, he um.
Yeah, I forgot about that.
And when I brought up the boats, I was just telling him about
Jamestown without an E and Isaid, yeah, they have the boats
there like models of the boatsthat they landed there with.
He's like, oh, that's prettycool.
(04:57):
I'm like, yeah, when we werethere they were working on them,
so we couldn't go on them.
That was the first kick in thenuts of multitudes kicking the
nuts that weekend Multiple ofthem.
Definitely tell him.
If he wants to go to House ofBurgesses, do it early.
I told him what I said was justkeep in mind that Peanut soup
can wait.
(05:17):
That's true.
I don't know if I told himabout the peanut soup, but I did
tell him.
I'm sure the fans are reallyexcited to listen to us recap
our most recent episodes.
But I told him that even thoughit says the park is open till 9
, everything closes at 5.
He needs to be aware.
(05:38):
Just check himself before hegets in there.
He's lucky dude.
He's lucky.
He's got a chance.
He's got a chance to have agood time If he feeds our advice
, and that starts by being a fanand listening to this podcast.
If he doesn't do that, well,he's got what's coming to him.
So, anyway, fans, welcome toanother episode of the Nailing
(05:59):
History podcast.
Fresh off of a big old trip toCalifornia.
Big time podcast.
Fresh off of a big old trip tocalifornia.
Um, big time john make hisnuptials, is that what?
Speaker 2 (06:13):
you say lauren with, yes, with a lauren g, now, soon,
well, lauren n lauren.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
And now that you've put my last name on blast did I
when lauren john oh yeah, ohyeah, I can edit that out.
Find me on LinkedIn.
It's my social hey in SutterCreek.
Yeah, it was a good week.
Oh, I did want to give you aheads up so I gave some of our
(06:40):
bigger fans, brian K, andrew Sand Dick Pepperfield.
I was hanging out with them onFriday and they asked me how it
went.
And I was telling a Andrew Sand Dick Pepperfield.
I was hanging out with them onFriday and they asked me how it
went and I was telling them acouple things and they were
laughing.
We were yucking it up.
But the one thing that I'vemade sure to talk about was the
Simply Peach Juice debacle andit was funny.
(07:02):
So, fans, if you don't know,john here and Lauren chose a
signature drink for theirwedding, as most people do.
It was called the Naughty Well,I guess I can't even say what
the name's called, but it wascalled the Naughty N Well.
I can't say that.
That sounds it's California.
We weren't getting married inMississippi.
(07:23):
I mean, come on.
So it was a signature drink.
And what was the signaturedrink?
What did it include?
What was the concoction youguys decided on here?
It included there was analcoholic version and
non-alcoholic version.
Alcoholic version includesSauvignon Blanc, peach juice Yep
, simply peach juice, limeseltzer water and a dash of
(07:48):
something else.
I forget.
It was good I had one, but justto give a recap John here.
So we were.
John was being a diva, myopinion, he was being a diva the
whole week, but Friday camearound.
I had to check out of my room.
I didn't have anywhere to go,so I went over and was hanging
out with John.
I said, hey, man, is thereanything that we really need to
do today to get ready fortomorrow?
(08:10):
So this was Friday, the weddingwas Saturday.
John says oh, yeah, we need topick up peach juice for our
signature the day before.
I said Peach juice.
Okay, where do you get that?
Oh, any grocery store.
So we go around, me and John.
So there were two groups ofpeople running errands so we
were all kind of looking forthis peach juice, simply Peach.
(08:32):
And John and I struck out.
But the other group I thinkthey were able to get seven of
them, eight of them, so six.
But we needed nine Our goal wasnine, I think if we came back to
the house with six and that wasa very low goal, but that's
fine, it does so at the end ofthe day it didn't really matter,
because they ran out of it bythe end of cocktail hour, I'm
(08:54):
pretty sure.
So it's not like if we, it'snot like if we would have gotten
nine.
It would have lasted the wholetime so it didn't really matter
but our fans, but our fans andguests of the wedding, like, say
, fans, because they all, theyall heard about this podcast.
So if any of you were at thewedding, you know that you would
.
If you're a new subscriber,welcome to the show.
Uh, they pivoted, they worked,they thought it was so good, so
(09:18):
refreshing that they went aheadand started using peach white
claws as a replacement for thesimply peach juice.
So you know, our guests, ourfans, are very resourceful like
that and uh, it worked.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
It was a great time, but I?
Speaker 1 (09:33):
the reason I bring that up is I got a text from
fred at the show.
Brian k, he said, got everysimply drink under the sun at
acme, except peach.
To To which I responded becauseI happened to be grocery
shopping at the time.
I said LMAO, same at Wegmans.
Then Brian K said I washoodwinked, it's all I think
(09:55):
about now.
And I said I do want some.
So I was given it and we talkedabout it.
Actually, dick Pepperfield is afan of it already.
He said he just topped it.
He polished off a bottle acouple weeks ago, so he likes
the Simply Peach.
He was shocked that we waiteduntil the day before to look for
it.
It's a little bit hard to find,apparently, but just wanted to
bring that up.
(10:15):
I thought that was funny.
Now, was he drinking this as aresult of you telling him about
it, or was he just dick dickpepperfield?
Yes, oh, just by himself.
He didn't hear about it untilfriday.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Okay, wow, it's good stuff, it's quite good stuff,
but it's only like what 20 realfruit?
Speaker 1 (10:34):
what was this percentage?
It was some ridiculouspercentage oh yeah, I think the
peach one yeah, I think thepeach one is like the only one
that's not 100 juice orsomething anywhere close to 100.
It's like 17 juice.
One that's not 100% juice orsomething Anywhere close to 100%
.
It's like 17% juice.
I think it was like 5% orsomething ridiculous.
It was refreshing, it was good.
Cocktail or drink was a hit andyeah, the whole wedding was a
(10:59):
great, great time.
It was very hot.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Hey John.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
So, yeah, we're not going to go through a whole
recap of the wedding.
Um, as john said, I was thebest man.
He said that before, so I wasstressing about my speech, which
I did pretty well.
It's funny, every single speechthat was made, um, so the um,
what do you?
The officiant of the wedding?
(11:24):
I guess you could say Yep, sheshe gave a speech like as part
of the service.
The service and what I said isher speech was very good and so
the whole time I was standing upat the altar the whole time.
I'm like she's doing way betterthan me.
This stinks Like alreadygetting outshined at the
(11:47):
beginning.
I'm like I'm not going to beable to follow this up.
It was a good speech and aspart of the vows that she had
you guys read, I believe she gotLaurenN LaurenNowN to agree to
always support the podcast.
I do think I heard that.
(12:11):
Yes, so that's legally binding.
That's the state of california,at least, for sure.
So.
So if she doesn't, you can getan annulment.
Could you imagine the contract?
Speaker 2 (12:23):
states.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Cause for divorce, doesn't support my pocket, won't
let me live my dreams, but shewould never not support it, of
course.
Well, she doesn't listen to itby any stretch of the
imagination.
Let's just call it what it is.
But I will say she's veryencouraging and always asked hey
, are you potting this weekend?
Hey, are you potting thisweekend?
(12:46):
Hey, are you potting thisweekend?
And she upgraded her internet,Did the upgrade, as we know and
as you said during the speech,which she was not thrilled to
hear she wasn't, no, I mean shelaughed.
She laughed it over.
You think she was mad that Isaid about the internet.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Not mad.
Is that something you didn'twant?
Speaker 1 (13:07):
people to know about, kind of take on, you know, kind
of beating the dead horse, kindof thing, I guess you know we
sort of said, hey, it's badSeven or eight months ago, but
it did take us long enough tofinally fix it.
But as soon as we fixed it it'sbeen pretty good.
But yeah, so the officiantshouted out the podcast.
(13:28):
Lauren's sister, who was themaid of honor, shouted out the
podcast.
I forget exactly what her shoutout was, but I do remember she
mentioned it and then I justshouted it out through my speech
.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Continuously.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
We're just running out of podcasts.
We haven't been even puttingout remotely it was.
It was a giant plug for thepodcast.
That's what I took it as howmany people were there?
145, something like that.
So 145 people heard about ourpodcast three times at one
wedding and we got.
So I'm like, oh man, we're atleast going to have to get 30
(14:09):
downloads, like this upcomingweek at least.
I think we got eight that perepisode, or just an overall,
just overall.
Oh geez, I thought there wasgonna be someone who were gonna
just like you know, get a hookline and sink and they were
going to download all 38episodes.
Yeah, I feel like it's not agreat sign.
(14:29):
Here.
People are encouraging.
You don't want to bringanything down.
I mean, I think the positivitywas there.
I think there was a lot of goodbuzz in the air.
I think people were having funwith it.
I will say a little update onthe podcast demographics.
I got an email here from thiscompany called PodSEO or Podseo,
(14:53):
I'm not sure this is what itsays.
Hi there, when listeners searchfor Spanish democracy on Apple
Podcasts or Spotify, nailingHistory appears as result 7.
But did you know?
It's also result number 18 forhistory enthusiasts and result
number 63 for peculiar histories.
So that's from Andrea DeMarcy,founder pod CEO, spanish.
(15:18):
I don't know how.
How would Spanish democracy be?
Did we ever talk?
Speaker 2 (15:23):
about this.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
We did talk about this we did talk about.
We had that episode aboutChristopher Columbus, the
Spanish.
Were we ever talking, wasn't itthis week in this history,
about the Spanish Civil War?
Am I just?
I think you're just Projecting,making something up I think so,
but yeah, so we got ourdemographics down.
I like that Number 18 forhistory enthusiasts.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
I can't believe we only have three downloads an
episode.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Well, hey, also it almost sounds like they might be
lying just to get us to paythem money for their service.
But hey, who's to?
So we don't really have muchplanned for this episode, we
wanted to just get on.
I surprised John on recordinghere.
He wanted to just kind of do a,I guess, a plan for the summer.
You know, a to-do list for thesummer?
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Try to get a A to-do list.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Yeah, try to get a what would you call it?
A rubric or a syllabus?
Yeah, I guess so.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
For the summer.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
But I don't want to do that necessarily.
I wanted to get on the airwavesand, um, what really got me
thinking like, hey, why don't werecord this is, john, what have
you been working on all weekend?
Well, fans, I, as some of youmay know, I've started a
relatively new job over half ayear now but I volunteered to
(16:47):
help throw a 4th of July triviaJuly.
Don't act like you're notexcited about this.
You're such a joke.
Oh, I volunteered, I was part ofthis cultural committee and we
(17:08):
have a culture week every yearat the end of june and it kind
of wraps up.
I think this fourth of julytrivia is the big.
It's the big shebang.
It's the kind of the you know,the final firework, as you may
say, to round off culture week.
At my, at my work, thepressure's on and I literally
just attended my very firstmeeting like a month ago and
they were like, uh, hey, we needsome ideas for July and we
(17:28):
normally do a trivia.
And I'm like, oh, that could beinteresting.
And they're like, can you runit?
And I'm like, okay, sure, whynot?
So I don't really know what I'mgetting into.
I've been making these slidesall day and a little bit of chat
GPT, a little bit of MicrosoftCopilot.
I'll be honest.
I'll be honest Help frame whatI want to do.
(17:50):
And yeah, I think what we'regoing to do here is Matt's going
to be my guinea pig.
I already ran these by Lauren Gand her sister and I got some
feedback, but I think Matt'sgoing to tell us the mystery,
get the fans' feedback.
dude Get the fans' feedback.
Yeah, we got a week.
We got a week, dick Peep.
(18:13):
Mr Pepperfield, we need you tobe on top of it.
We haven't had a message in awhile.
Well, technically, thesequestions.
Also no messages from any ofthe wedding guests, big new fans
, okay, big.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
No messages from any of the wedding guests.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Big new fans.
Okay, big new fans, where youat, come on.
But technically the superiorswill have to approve these
questions anyway.
But I think we'll be in theclear.
I don't think there's anythingthat's going to get flagged.
Yeah, I'll be the judge of that.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
We'll just see.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Let's go All right.
So anyone who were Any ofJohn's coworkers who he hasn't
told about the podcast yet andjust happened to be stuck, do
you want to say where you work?
So they if maybe there'slisteners, they don't recognize
your voice.
You want to let them know?
Don't think I should?
Okay, well if you work in thelet's just do it this way If you
work in Baltimore City, stoplistening to the podcast.
(19:02):
Good call Flat out, just turnoff the.
Your power's probably cut offanyway.
If you live in Baltimore City,anyway, power's probably gone
out.
What's that supposed to mean?
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
It's a safe, can't pay their bills.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Very safe and pleasant town, love it.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Every minute of it, yikes.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Anyway, it's a chill place.
A lot of history, pratt streetI suggested to my some of my
co-workers doing a walk down,like a historical walk kind of
thing.
But we'll see what shakes out.
But anyway, moving on.
So how's it?
So let's, let's just get downto it.
Um, let's try to speed throughit a little bit for the fans, so
(19:41):
they aren't you know.
I got 33 questions for you.
How is it broken out In roundsor how do you?
have the scoring figured outWell, I had it.
Is this a Jeopardy style?
No, it's just a matter ofmultiple choice mixed in with
some type in the answer.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Multiple choice.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Yeah, I have to be cognizant of different people at
my work and some of thesequestions if I like the numbers
based ones are multiple choice,primarily so that people aren't
taking guesses at random numbersand getting nowhere near it.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
excuse me, so you could just say who's the closest
, but okay, whatever.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Yeah, but I'm trying to use the software.
They want me to use thesoftware where, uh, I can
present and like share my screenin a presentation room and then
, like anyone who's working fromhome can also participate by
just logging into the site ontheir phone and all the answers
are just tallied up there and itkind of does all the work for
you.
Long story short, I put effortinto it, but I didn't want to
(20:46):
put that much effort into it, soI put effort into the questions
in terms of how I actually wentahead and made those.
So how is it?
So?
Is it just one round and like ascore?
Is that?
Speaker 2 (20:57):
it, or is there?
Well, what I've got?
Speaker 1 (20:59):
I have.
Yeah, I kind of broke it offinto three rounds.
The categories are Three roundsof 11 questions, each
Interesting.
It's just what it came out to.
So there were kind of threedifferent rounds Food, fireworks
and festivities this isco-pilot talking here.
Food, fireworks and festivitiesBorn and died in the USA, and
(21:24):
then stars, stripes and andindependence.
So the first category the first, like 11 questions are kind of
more like pop culture relatedand festivities and food and all
that stuff.
Uh born and died in is likethings that happened on july 4th
throughout this board and dieyeah I'm not actually going to
(21:45):
say these categories during thepresentation because again, the
software I'm using isn't lettingme kind of give categories to
these.
But anyway, and then Stars andStripes is a kind of more
history, although a lot of themare mostly history, but you'll
see, nothing too crazy I thinkyou should do very well, if you
don't get north of 90%, I'll bea little embarrassed for you.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
I'm going out on a limb.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
If I do bad, I guess I just won't publish the episode
.
You need 29 questions to pass.

fine, I got another one.
(30:29):
I think I got I think I'm alsomind you, most of my colleagues,
I, I think probably 80% of themEnglish is their second
language.
So I think, going into theobscure details of a 30-year-old
film, I don't know, it was aninternational blockbuster and
they'll know, and they're alsovery young.
The younger people at my work.
(30:51):

leaderboard and it's going toshow how everyone's doing and
then I'll say, hey, someone'sdoing great.

Yeah, so I only got one, two,three, four, five, six.
I got seven.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
You're already.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
You got to clear the.
I just don't understand how youthink that asking about Randy
Quaid flying a fighter jet up tothe gut of an alien mothership
saying I'm back.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
It's not the mothership, it wasn't the
mothership.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
You're right.
I know that how you think thatwould be harder for them to get
than who was president, thatCalvin Coolidge was born on the
fourth of July.
But whatever, that's fine.
No, I mean it's a guess, butit's like very american.
It's very surprised you didn'tsay which two presidents died.
Died on the fourth of julywould have been a better one.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
But okay, well where are we?
Speaker 1 (33:08):
we're at the 13th, 12th question here.

I never finished it.
When he was like Syracuse Doesit At the beginning of that
movie.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
He's like a real all-American guy at high school,
right, I think he's a wrestlerin high school and then he asked
this girl to go to prom withhim or something, and she tells
him no.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
So he joins the military instead.
I think he was always going tojoin the military, I think he
was just that kind of a guy.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Maybe he was already in there.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
And then Willem Dafoe , just mans up.
I think he's in that okay isthat I I think you're whatever.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
Yeah, willem dafoe, he meets him in mexico and
they're both like pissed off.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
Like at that point there are, they're both like
pissed off.

don't think they're flyingfighter jets.
Okay, which two frenemypresidents died on july 4th 1826
?

(34:52):
the Declaration of Independence.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Thomas Jefferson.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
James Monroe, john Adams, james Madison.
If instead of like frenemies,maybe you could be like on again
, off again, friends orsomething would be kind of
funnier way to say it.
I think frenemy encapsulate onagain.
This thing also has a characterlimit.
I should have said that.
I probably should preface that.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Thomas.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Jefferson and John Adams.
That is correct.
Did you know that John Adamsthought Thomas Jefferson?
His last words were ThomasJefferson still lives.

kind of?
I think Charles Carroll wasyeah, but I mean you're thinking
of the heavy hitters.
They were the last two.
Charles Carroll was a prettybig heavy hitter.
Well in pop culture.

I said that but you were likenot about it.
But then I guess I don't know.
Mr R, good for him.
Charles.
Speaker 2 (36:32):

Yeah, that's the Garibaldi.
Yeah, he was born in America.
He wasn't born in America.
I didn't say that he was born onthe 4th of July and offered a
commission in the Union Army,but he refused it because the
war aim for Lincoln wasn't toend slavery at that time.
(37:58):
Okay, they should have a movieabout Garibaldi called Port of
the 4th of July.

a while he was in the US.
I want to go see that.

This colony, established in1607, is where the first
(43:18):
permanent English settlement inNorth America was born.

No, it's not the name of thesettlement.
Oh wait, what's the question?
It said this colony,established in 1607, is where
the first permanent Englishsettlement in North.
America was born.
Is this going to be multiplechoice or no?
(43:39):
No, that's a good question.
Virginia Right Could say colonyof Virginia.
Jamestown is not correct.
Jamestown was a settlement inthe colony of Virginia.
Then we had another quiz.
Then I got another leaderboard.

So I'm Matt, and then they getpretty easy.
Then we had another quiz.
Then I got another leaderboard.
Where's the oh wait?
So I'm at.
And then they get pretty easy.
And back to being easy.

1776, 1783, 1775, 1781.
What were the choices?
1776, 1783,83, 1775, 1781.
I was thinking I should notmake this one multiple choice,
(44:42):
but near seemed to 1776.
What do you think should I?
it's like the date that anyonethrows around well, I honestly
think that throwing 1775 inthere makes it a more
complicated question, kind ofBecause the war started in 1775,
(45:08):
kind of.
Yeah, so it makes it a littlebit more complicated.
It adds a little bit.
It adds more to it.
If you have that, having thechoices makes it a little bit
more.
It adds a little bit.
It adds more to it, if you havethat.
Speaker 2 (45:16):
Having.
The choices makes it a littlebit.
Speaker 1 (45:18):
If you're going to have the choices in 1775 is one
of the choices that makes it alittle bit more challenging.
I think so, okay, cool.
No multiple choice.
Who was the principal author ofthe Declaration of Independence
?
Tommy Jay, that's right, ourboy.
What do the 13 stripes of theamerican flag represent?

Yeah, that's fine.
You're just very inconsistentwith the difficulty that you
want to make this thing, I think.
But it's fine.
Well, that's why I need help.
I need help.
So what should?
(48:18):
So that should be multiplechoice.
Do I need a?
Speaker 2 (48:21):
hard and fast.
Speaker 1 (48:21):
I, I feel like probably Only numbers, like only
the years and numbers getmultiple choices and everything
else you have to type in.
I don't know.
I'll have to re-listen to theepisode and give you my feedback
, which founding father fromVirginia famously said give me
liberty or give me death, notmultiple choice.
That's a tough, not multiplechoice one.
(48:44):
Well, half these kids areamerican educated.
Some of them not all of them,but most of them I bet I would
be curious how many peopleactually would be able to say
that, oh, no one's gonna getthis one right but that's where
you're separating, that's whereI'm separating the uh, it's
fourth of July.
Speaker 2 (49:02):
This is.
Speaker 1 (49:02):
American history.
I don't know what do you wantme to tell you people, sir
Patrick Henry, correct.
How many delegates signed theUS Declaration of Independence?
62, 48, 84, 56.
(49:22):
I don't know that one.
56?
Correct, boom.
In what year did the USCongress make the 4th of July a
federal holiday?
1896, 1924, 1870, 1912.
(49:48):
I'm thinking, probably not 24.
Well, 1912, the Titanic.
What was the 18 one?
1896, 1870.
1870, right after the Civil War.
I could see that I'm going tosay 1870.
(50:10):
Correct, just rubbing it in.
Just rubbing it in.
Last question, in what city wasthe Declaration of Independence
written, signed and adopted?
Speaker 2 (50:21):
Philadelphia.
Speaker 1 (50:27):
I didn't give that away in the Liberty Belt one did
I?
No, I don't think I did.
Speaker 2 (50:32):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (50:34):
Literally just an exercise, to just have a.
What do you think?
Speaker 2 (50:39):
What do I think?
Speaker 1 (50:41):
Yeah, we had to do.
I don't know.
I feel like I missed somethingthat I got right.
I was kind of preoccupied, but3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.
I got, I think, 26.
But I could have missed missingone.
(51:01):
It might be 27 or maybe 28.
79% have missed missing one.
It might be 27 or maybe 28.
79 I thought you said to pass Ineeded like a 29, 29 or
something out of 33.
Yeah, passing is over 70.
No, not in this, not for aamateur historian enthusiast
who's been doing a podcast for15, 16 months yeah, but the
(51:24):
questions that I got wrong werethe stupid ones.
Oh who?
Which president was born on the4th of July?
How am I supposed to know that?
Did you know that before youlooked it up?
Yeah, exactly, john shaking hishead.
No, for the fans.
You know the other presidentwho died on the 4th of July.
I didn't include this as aquestion, but just you could
(51:45):
have seen.
You could have seen hisheadstone if you just got out of
your car.
Didn't wimp out, I did wimp out.
Was that Monroe, madison,monroe, monroe.
Tuberculosis gets them all,gets every time rough way to go.
(52:06):
What do you think?
It was pretty?
Speaker 2 (52:10):
It was fine.
It wasn't like wow, that wasgreat trivia.
Speaker 1 (52:15):
I'm so happy we did it.
I think if I were to do that atwork I would have just be kind
of like, well, at least I didn'thave to work.
Sure beats work.
That's kind of what they'regoing for.
I feel like you should throw ina to-do.
Cusco question.
Speaker 2 (52:32):
Bonus.
Speaker 1 (52:33):
What did he do on 4th of July?
You?
should do like Cusco Monument atWest Point was dedicated on
July 4th 1828.
I think it'd be cool if you didlike a Like.
You did Like, if you made itlike who Wants to Be a
(52:57):
Millionaire?
Remember that show where theeasy questions they would have
like as the multiple choice,they would have three legitimate
questions and multiple choice.
They would have like threelegitimate questions and then
one of them was like crazy.
So if you did something likewhat was, what did the?
What was dumped into the BostonHarbor to protest taxes, and
(53:23):
you could say like you could saymine, you could say wine, tea,
ammunition, or like gunpowder orpoop, like that would be funny,
like have it, make it, have itfun like that.
Yeah and no, it's fine, it'sbland, it's bland, it's just
(53:49):
your, your typical chat, gpt,written trivia, I'm sure, which
is fine.
Um, you know, just a matter ofhow you present it.
I guess would be, you know it'sgood well, I'm presenting it on
this no one's gonna say no one'sgonna say you did a bad job.
An opportunity for you to plugthe show.
Maybe I'll try, like uh, makeit a question be like what
(54:18):
podcast started?
Speaker 2 (54:19):
as your head starring , your host, starting, yeah by
your host.
Speaker 1 (54:24):
You could just like not say you do it, just you know
, just say like which podcastthat started in.
Which hit podcast which hitpodcast started in 2024 ranked
the founding fathers using adeck of playing cards.
You could be like we're notaware that it had already
(54:48):
existed.
You could be like HistoryNinjas.
History Ninjas the NailingHistory Podcast, chuck Senti's
Brigade yeah, that would be agood one.
And then just don't, even,don't even say anything.
And then, like, everyone getsit wrong, like, I guess, no, I
thought everyone listened tothat podcast.
(55:10):
Boom, it's easy as that, it'seasy as that no, they just what
you do, these things publicspeaking, getting getting up
presentation skills, I mean,yeah, we'll just see how it all
goes.
Though You're not good at that,I think I'll be fine.
(55:33):
Yeah, it's a little dry, but Ithink we'll be fine.
Speaker 2 (55:40):
Are you going?
Speaker 1 (55:40):
to wear?
Are you going to wear a suit?
Are you a game show host?
Yeah, I should be wearing likea 4th of July tie.
At minimum, you should dresslike Will Ferrell in that SNL
bit when he comes in to work.
(56:02):
I don't know if that was forthe 4th of July, but it was for
like it might have been.
It was like Memorial Day orsomething.
He came in dressed like he hadsome Speedo on or something.
Oh yeah, with the crop top.
Yeah, that would be awesome ifhe showed up like that dude.
(56:22):
It really would.
It would.
That would be awesome if youshowed up like that dude.
It really would.
That would make up for how drythe trivia was.
I truly think my suggestion ofmaking one of the answers funny
could be fun for a couple ofthem.
Okay, so for the multiplechoice ones, obviously, yeah, I
(56:49):
think you might be able to.
You know you have a questionabout the Iran bombing on there
too.
Just dust that one in there, ohmy God.
So when would the confederatestates have celebrated their
(57:13):
independence day?
Do you know?
I don't.
February 8th, my birthday, noway.
It says the confederacy wasformed on february 8th 1861 by
south carolina, mississippi,florida, alabama, georgia,
louisiana and texas how did younot know that they adopted a new
(57:33):
constitution establishing aconfederation government of
sovereign and independent states?

pressure.
Well, they just don't wantanything to be offensive, aka
(58:17):
wearing a speedo that theywouldn't know about.
That obviously they might not,I know it's dry.
I know it's dry, but I think Ijust gotta like let my
personality come through andjust I'll try to just get the
crowd.
Speaker 2 (58:31):
Yeah, that works.
Speaker 1 (58:32):
Yeah, do a little crowd do a little crowd work.
Yeah, let your let yourpersonality come through.
That'll really spice it up, I'msure.
Let the crowd do a little crowdwork.
You, dude, make some of theanswers funny.
It would add to it.
I think you're right.
Which US?
(58:53):
president was born on the 4th ofJuly.
Okay, fine, it's CalvinCoolidge, but what were the
other three?
Well, that wouldn't be one thatyou would make as being funny,
unless you mean it's somethingridiculous Like a not real
president.
That you would make as beingfunny unless you mean it's
something ridiculous like what'sthe name?
Like a, like a not realpresident, like I don't even
(59:13):
know how.
How would you make that?
answer probably who sponsors thelargest fireworks display in
the US, macy's.
So target Amazon or Kohl's.
