Comedians Robert Bacon and Mike Kauffman dig into the absurdity of 17th-century Holland’s tulip-fueled frenzy: how it started, how it spiraled out of control, and how it all came crashing down when people realized you can’t actually eat your savings. From rare bulbs traded like Bitcoin to deals sealed in taverns over too much beer, this is the hilarious story of the market crash that bloomed before capitalism even knew what it was.It’s a colorful blend of history, hysteria, and human stupidity—just another day on Mistakes Were Made.
