Buffoonery Chit-Chat

0:16 Oh, hey there. Oh, hey there. How's it going, Kate? I have a little bit of a headache. Oh no, and it's not caffeine related. That reminds me I need to get ibuprofen. Hey, we're the History Buffoons. I am Kate and I'm Bradley. Welcome to a conversation with buffoons. We're doing something a little different. Since we started our YouTube videos, we thought it would be good to I don't know kind of reflect and talk about what we're doing. Something a little different. Since we started our YouTube videos, we thought it would be good to uh, I don't know kind of reflect and talk about what we're doing. We're doing a lot. Trying to. I feel like we're doing a lot. I feel like over the last two, three weeks it's been quite a bit, yeah, which is not a bad thing.

0:59 Um um, I'm enjoying it, but Um um, I'm enjoying it, but it's been a lot to work on, especially with a full-time job and then doing this. So yeah, yeah I it feels like a very hefty part-time job. It does, but it's been fun. So, um, you know, someday maybe it can be a full-time job, who knows Cause then we can focus on something we really enjoy doing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, cause I'm having 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. Fuck, gonna have to edit that. Hold, please. And we're back.

1:41 Sorry about that, my bad forgot. So in the pod loft we have a mini fridge for podcast beer, mainly. I do have some waters in there. Sure do, because we're responsible and it's a small room and well, refrigerators make noise. Sure do, so I forgot to unplug it, my bad. We need a checklist. Yeah, did you unplug the fridge Check? Maybe I should make one of those. Maybe. Yeah, just one more thing that we have to keep track of. Yeah, we are trying so hard to be continuous and not have a lapse in episodes and social media and just being super consistent with all of that.

2:36 Yeah, for sure. We've definitely fallen flat a couple of times, but we sure pick ourselves up again. Well, I mean, we're still pretty new to doing this. Yes, we've been more or less doing this for a year, and then we started releasing in September but, we're still learning what the hell to do. I mean, I guess the biggest thing we've added recently is actual YouTube videos of us. Yeah, go look us up. There's lots of those throughout the episodes. Go look us up on youtube history 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 I learned how to edit video yeah, and you're doing a great job thank you.

3:22 I appreciate that. I do like the feedback because I always feel like I could do better and I recently reached out to Al for his insight and that's why our last video had a little bit of a format change. I don't know what's best for people. I don't know what everybody likes. Who knows? Maybe some people who like the old format are like why'd they change it? I don't know. I I like the last one a little better. Yeah, I think it's a little more, I don't know. I kind of I like seeing the progression too. Yeah, like I wouldn't want to like redo the video to a new format, like. No, I like our progression of what?

4:03 we used to do and you've always said that too with um, with like, our audio, even like, and our overall episodes. We've gotten, I feel, better over the months we've been doing this. So, yeah, because what we've been releasing stuff for eight, a little over eight months now wow, that's wild to say it like that. Our year anniversary of our first episodes in like three and a, what three and a half months roughly give or take, yeah, so that's wild to think about. But hey, I've been enjoying it. So yeah anyways um, so we do have a podcast beer, um and it's, it's just our basics oldie, but a goodie for us.

4:44 So cheers uh to the summer shandy, which summer is starting to creep back in finally, so cheers, cheers it was kind of dreary the last couple of days and it it got to a chill level that it felt like it was november, like going into december, like I was like is winter coming? Like what. It felt like that as you know, I get up really early for work and uh, I think was it even this morning, I think it was this morning, and uh, it's like 39 degrees out, what the fuck it's been in you know the upper 40s or even low 50s in the morning, the last, I don't know week before, but I think it was this morning.

5:28 It was 39 degrees out when I left for work. It was nice today. Oh it's beautiful today, sun's out, because we've gotten a lot of rain lately, which is, of course, good, but it started to get nice yesterday. Now it's really nice today because it's sunny out for a change, not so dreary Like we're going into, like you said, november kind of thing, but yeah, it's almost summer. Cat hair in my mouth. Well, I'd like you to know that cat hair is from your house. I did kiss Bonnie before I left. And there might have been one on. I think I have some on my Yep. there's a probably a bonnie here we got um my cat's a new brush, oh nice.

6:10 So one half is a dematter and then turn it over and the other is like an undercoat oh cool um, all of the cats. Amos is a little apprehensive about it because we're trying to demat him right. Um, but they all love it okay, that's good, that's a plus yeah, um, bonnie and amos are short hair and they're getting mats. I think they're just. I think we feed them too well and they aren't even fee freeders fee fee feeders, free feeders. That's the one, um, but I think they're getting too big to like clean themselves, clean themselves yeah, so like right above their tail, and sometimes their sides are getting matted.

6:56 Um, so the brush is actually doing pretty good, but after I don't know, probably like a good five different times of brushing bon, I was like oh, you finally solved. Well, I'm excited to see Bonnie again next time we record at your house so. I can see, yeah, did your new toy for them come? Not yet, however. Nathan's been gone, but I came home yesterday after work and there was a cat toy on in a in a plastic, clear plastic package. Yeah. Um on the counter and I was like I was like there's no other toy here.

7:36 It's not in a labeled box or anything, but it's like kind of springy and it's really really tall, long, kind of springy and it's really really tall, long, and so I put it above our um, our doorway from the kitchen to the living room, oh nice, so they all just kind of stare at it. They're like what are we supposed to do with that? bonnie and amos tried twice, and then they're just like okay. So I don't know where it came from, but well, I mean maybe dates unordered it, who knows? But no, we've got like a, a toy ball that has a feather on it, called like the speedy ball or something yeah and it's supposed to mimic like a randomized prey like a mouse or something.

8:20 Yeah, so it's not just I'm gonna roll that way and then I'm gonna roll that way. No, it's not just I'm going to roll that way and then. I'm going to roll that way. No, it's like erratic, yeah, which is awesome Because obviously cats will be like well, this is stupid. Right, right, but if it is, I don't know, all over the place. They're like I got to get it Like laser, the laser pointer. Yeah, your cats do like that. I think I've done a laser pointer for my cats. I guess I don't recall it's been a while I think Wicket would just be like nah, I'm just going to sleep. I'm just going to lay next to dad. Yeah, yeah, because that's all she does, she old. Well, she'll be in a couple weeks, 19. So she's getting up there. Bonnie and Amos' birthday are on Sunday oh nice, yeah.

9:05 Two are on sunday oh nice yeah, two days from now spoiler alert today's friday cheers to friday. Yes, so, um, I've got a couple questions for you, okay um actually we came up with questions just to kind of make this an entertaining, entertaining episode with a little bit of flow. Yeah, a little bit of flow, so it's not just us shooting the shit. Yeah, we're just not all off the cuff. A little bit of structure if you will, off the cuff, that's an idiom. You have no idea how many idioms I hear all day, every day now. No, I do. I send them to you, you message me them. Or I'll type you one and be like oh, I thought of another.

9:46 That's very similar. 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't even respond to them, you don't. I'm like, yeah, I would hope you know that eventually they'll be on the list. Yeah, no, that doesn't bother me. I figured not. So I have an answer to this question. Yeah, and I want to know, if you do, what's the weirdest beer you've tried on the show, and would you drink it again? 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?

10:27 that's what I'm trying to remember, but you did for me or for a theme, or whatever I'm trying to remember. I would be good not to do the Seagrams again. I've had those in my past life. Was that the Jamaican Me Happy or something yeah? It's just, I don't know, a little too sweet for me A wine cooler type. Yeah. So I guess if I had to pick one, I wouldn't do that. Yeah, just, it's too sweet for me in my old age. But it's still good it wasn't bad. Yeah, I mean there was a time I remember I mean we're talking like 20 plus years ago where they used to do this deal where you get like six, four packs of seagrams, escapes, uh, for whatever low price or whatever what the hell it was. So you get a whole bunch of flavors and I drank the shit out of them.

11:10 But I was also in like my early 20s right I wasn't really even a beer drinker when I started in the beer business in my early 20s. I didn't drink beer. I drank mike's hard lemonade right, or some a smattering of other similar and then zima I. The first zima I ever had and yes, I was underage was when I was 14. Yeah, I was 14 in california the day before going to the rose bowl when the wisconsin badgers played ucla and one it's weird that you remember all this shit. Yeah, well okay, I've explained this to you before. I associate a lot of my memory with events and then, of course, dates.

11:50 I know that the Rose Bowl was played on January 1st every year and I remember how old I was. We were also shotgunning Miller Genuine Drafts in my dad's buddy's kitchen With him, with my dad's buddy, my dad already, with my dad's buddy. My dad already went to bed because he was old back then, even just kidding, um and uh, so we're with and I consider him a friend too, uh, him and his daughters, who his youngest is, I think, seven years older than me. Um, and then I remember we started walking to her friend's house, like me and my two brothers, and her and her friend, I think, her I don't remember if her sister was there, but uh, all of a sudden, mary jo, which is, uh, the, the wife of the, our, our family friends, she comes running.

12:39 Your dad wants you guys to come back right now. Oh, shit, okay. And then we went to the rose bowl 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 the show. It's not really the weirdest beer, it's the the one beer that I you definitely did not like and I didn't. I would not have it again. It's the brand is kiwina, yeah what was? what was the? it was green, it had like a maiden on the front. Yeah I don't remember the exact um but I couldn't. Oh, you had you struggled us through that real bad. I remember every sip you took. You're like basically I know but it was there, so you know well, yeah, it would have been alcohol abuse if I but it's funny because you also had a backup modelo and I'm like just go to that.

13:28 I know. Go to the go-to, but I get it. You didn't want to, I don't know, waste it, I suppose. Yeah and carbless. If you could redo one episode, which would it be and why? Well, it's one we haven't released for a good reason it doesn't sound pretty well. Okay, I was basically reading verbatim my story so the episode that I'm talking about is we did one on the Chicago Fire very early on in our developing. What kind of style and the format and so on.

14:10 I thought it was really good. So basically, we changed a little bit of our format to be like, if you break it down, kate teaches me something is what it is. Do I know it sometimes? Yes, do I not know it A lot of the 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. Um so early on, when we tried to do this, start this, I should say I actually did some of my own research as well, for random facts, that's right, yeah, yeah and which was cool because you know I was able to add in. But again I almost felt like, so I had, I typed them out as well. And you're like, oh hey, by the way, did you know about bub?

14:51 And it's like this sounds so robotic yeah, it wasn't organic no, it didn't feel like having a conversation, so we kind of retooled our format and did that, but it was a good episode. I enjoyed the. The topic I always like hearing about chicago burning so um but, um, I mean, am I wrong? no, jesus christ, but um no, it was. It was a good episode. I just it wasn't what we do now and I'm not really sad about it. Maybe we'll redo that one in the future because it is a good historical story.

15:31 Yeah, and then I can be happy because Chicago's burning all over again what historical figure that we've covered so far. would you invite out for drinks? Probably Elizabeth Bathory. Why. Because we can have some vampire drinks, some blood drinks, blood drinks like a, like a red red ale or I don't know. 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.

16:12 We were out somewhere and they were ordering drinks for all of us and my sister and I were young, right, and I don't know if they were like suggesting sodas or what and we just weren't having it, sure, but my mom was like, oh, can you do this they're gonna do a Shirley Temple and it was the very first time I ever had a Shirley Temple and I was like, okay. So my, I remember my. My parents would take us out to these nicer restaurants all the time when we were little. There's this one in particular. I'm, of course, spacing on the damn name of it. I could take you there right now. It'd be a drive because it's further north. But um, uh, we didn't call them shirley temple. I knew that's what they were called, but we just all call always call them kitty cocktails yeah, I've heard of it too, but I definitely grew up with shirley temple as the name for him.

16:59 I didn't know, they were called that for a while after because my dad just do you want a kitty cocktail and it's just what. Like a sprite with uh, grenadine, yeah, that's all it is so we always thought we were fancy yeah, exactly I got to have a cocktail with my dad or like girl, like when you were young and you had a root beer. You're like I'm having a beer, yeah, yeah exactly yeah and it's funny because vesper now I so I have you've seen, inside my fridge I have got like those soda sleeves or whatever you want to call them um, and so she likes to grab data soda a lot yeah but she also knows that I have a beer fridge too down there, and she's like one time she goes to me dad, do you want a beer?

17:41 I want to get you a beer that's so sweet. Well, thanks, sweetheart. But then and so I was I was having a beer, I don't know. Within the last week or so she goes how's your soda, you like your soda, like yep, it's a beer, but yep, I do like my soda. So it's kind of funny. She doesn't, can't differentiate them all the time but yeah no it's cute, it's understandable. She's too so I don't know what historical figure I would invite out to drink. Actually, you know who I would what's that? It would be annie oakley. She seems like she would be cool okay, I, I answered elizabeth, but that was the other was it in my brain okay, okay, so we'll all just go, yeah, we'll all go we'll have elizabeth annie.

18:23 You me. Yeah, we'll go to the bar, get some, some Shirley Temples, get some whiskey, whatever. I don't remember in the episode Did she drink, I wonder? I don't remember, I'm not sure, if that- ever came up. But yeah, I thought she might be interesting just because of who she is and whatever, what she kind of did for for a living is really I don't know, entertainment it is. I mean she was in the entertainment business. So what beer would I order for her? Yeah, or it can be a cocktail too, but if you had a beer, I feel like she'd like a whiskey. Neat yeah, something, let's, let's go with that. Yeah, let's go with that. Okay, so I already know the answer to this question, because we've talked about it so many times what is a hilarious blooper that hasn't been released?

19:12 Okay, so it's not really a blooper per se, it's kind of a blooper. In a way, it's a combination of, it's a burping reel. Yes, so, um, and the funny thing is so I think we've we've mentioned this briefly on one of the episodes. Depending on if a certain thing happens for the podcast, I actually get to release this. Um, but the funny thing is all of them came from the same episode no, yes I swear to god god, what episode do you remember? I'm trying to blank. I'd have to look at the date stamp. It's not but so I hate that it all came from one episode. Well, and that's the funny thing is because like if I went through all the episodes I'd have so many to do.

19:55 But the beautiful thing is I can do maybe a sequel. So basically what I did is when I was editing. I think this is, but there was before I had to do video, so I probably wouldn't have wasted the time because I got to go do the video now. Yeah, Kate likes to burp. Do I like to. It's a good release, but no, it just happens. Kate burps a lot. Okay, let's rephrase it. Okay, I'll allow that one, I'll allow it. So it is the bubbles, the combination. So I jokingly said once I'm gonna make a compilation of burps, which then turned into me making a burp track.

20:36 So I took a couple from that episode and created a song where it's just um, kate burping, and you say sorry once, because I thought that was funny. Because, you said sorry right afterwards. So if a certain something happens for the podcast, I get to release that and we will tell you when that happens. When the certain something happens, we will also tell you. We'll probably do a video for it. Maybe we'll do a watch. Watch like a video, where you get to react to it. I mean, you've heard it, but it's been a while it's been a while okay, I'm gonna let you ask me that next question because it kind of pertains more to me than yeah, yeah uh, which episode surprised you the most during research and or recording?

21:22 obviously that's. I think that's geared more towards research, but yeah um, so it was actually about marie antoinette, so one of our most recent episodes I mean it's also more fresh in my mind I'm also reading a book about her yeah, that's true yeah. So she's very, very much in my mind right now, and I have yet to watch the kirsten Dunst movie. Marie. Antoinette, which is on my list now, yep, but it really surprised me that she actually wasn't a cunt. Did you just always assume that she was? Yeah, just because of how she was portrayed and everything. Yes, okay. So it was portrayed as people absolutely hating her and her just not giving a shit and ended up being Not the case at all.

22:10 Yeah, yeah. I feel like she was a little bit more misunderstood. Sure, she was thrust into society and made to be a certain way. Well, didn't she, if I remember correctly, wasn't part of it? At the border of France, they stripped her of all of her clothes and put her in these French clothes and everything to be presentable. So I mean look at that. She didn't do that. They did that to her. Yeah, so I mean, she was what again? 14? She was 14. Yeah, that's crazy, being thrust into that life quite wild. Thrust into that life, quite wild. So and it's. It's funny how, throughout history, how you know, people are portrayed a certain way when they're really not even close to being that way.

22:52 Like I'm not saying there weren't problems. Oh, of course that you know something that she would do or say, or or ignore whatever dollhouse that she had for herself yeah, which was a mansion to one of us, yeah, but so I mean like there were definitely some issues, especially with their finances, right um, but as a human person, she wasn't bad, no okay, yeah so I think that kind of surprised me the most because I had this inkling right. You know of who she was oh no, you had a preconceived notion preconceconceived notion Exactly. So I can totally understand that. I mean there's a lot of people throughout history who are like wow, I thought that dude was an asshole. Turns out he wasn't a great person, but maybe he was better than you thought.

23:35 Or history spun it this way Right, for sure, but yeah, you want me to ask this one too. Sure, let's do it. Okay, if the podcast only went viral, what's the first ridiculous merch item you would insist we sell. Copies of my painting. Can they be hand-numbered? Hand-numbered. Yeah, I mean it adds more of a flair to it Like one out of 500 or something. Yeah, okay. I mean right. I mean, if we're making shit up, yeah I was just taking sweatshirts, but either way that's not a ridiculous merch item okay, so we're going ridiculous yeah, ridiculous history buffoons, beer, steins, that's fun with the lid, even like old german style.

24:29 Those would be fucking cool. You know what would happen to me? you would forget that it's the lids on and try to drink it. 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 it would like pop on my nose I could see that yeah, me too. Have you? This is, I guess, a question for me. Have I ever pretended to know more about a topic than I actually did? Yes, I will say something and be like no, I don't think that was right. Well, after the fact though, really oh yeah, like you'll ask me a question, I'm like I know the answer to this and it's such and such and like no're, like no, I don't think that's right.

25:14 So I may have received false information. Unfortunately, yeah Well, I am not a research enthusiast. You do it because we like doing this. Yes, we are by no means full-blown historians. That's why we're called history buffoons. Even being history buffs was a stretch. We had to put the oon in there, okay so in the last, one of these last episodes of marie antoinette, I said that versailles was like 20 miles away from paris okay when I heard it back, I'm like no, it's Like in my head I think it was 12 miles and I was just like confidently, 20 miles yeah.

26:01 So this is a good, good, good point to a chance to point out that it's kind of like again, the telephone game. Yeah. Things get embellished through storytelling Yep Sure does Things get embellished? Embellished Through storytelling. Yep, sure does, it was like 20 miles. I mean next time we do Marie Antoinette it's going to be 50. Who knows? We don't know, not sure why we'd do it again, but who knows, okay, which historical event that we've covered would you? Actually want to experience firsthand. As a fly on the wall. Yeah, as a fly on the wall, because we've done a lot of depressing stuff, yeah. So I would not want to be in a lot of depressing situations. However, for some reason I would want to be a fly on the wall and see how charles lightoller made it through every fucking ship sinking.

26:47 Oh my gosh, if you have not listened to the Charles Lightoller episode. Seriously, I sink ships. It's not called I Sink. Ships no but that was a tentative title when we were recording it. It was a title because he was on a lot of ship sinkings. It was called Smack Dabble, it sure was. But I would be super curious to observe him Just be like dude. What is happening? I mean from the sinking of the Titanic all the way to rescuing people at Dunkirk. Yeah, it would just be super interesting to see. Like, how the fuck did this guy make it this far? Yeah, Because you were on literally a boatload of ships.

27:28 Let's see what I did there that sink, and it's like you're still alive, Still kicking. I mean that ships I see what I did there that sink, and it's like you're still alive, still still kicking. I mean that's fucking impressive, yeah, so I think that's one that I would pick. Do you have one that you would pick? I, I do. I think I would want to be a fly on a tree okay and discover what happened to the roman oak colony oh, yes, for sure. Like actually happened, Mm-hmm. I mean when we did that. It still points to they just assimilated. With the natives. Yeah, yeah, with that. I forget the name of the tribe right now. Yeah, what their name was. But yeah, I'm pretty sure that's. I mean that's what it points to, at least from my observation.

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 be something 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 whatever I've never heard that before. Is that an idiom or just a saying? Is that really a thing? I know I didn't make it up. Really no. I didn't. Oh man, because it sounds made up. If it has stripes, it's a, you know it's. Well, because yeah, horses don't have stripes, zebras do. I want to look it up Is a zebra considered a horse?

28:51 I don't know. You say that with such disdain Like why would you ask me that? Why wouldn't you already know that? Okay, what's the saying about hooves and zebras? I've said this many times on this podcast, but this is podcast gold. When you hear hoof beats, think horses, not zebras. Basically think the most obvious answer. I'm sorry, but I never would have thought zebra. There's a song I'm trying to blank on the title of it, but they, because it's's about deborah, but they call, so they to write something with deborah.

29:34 They say zebra. It's in, uh, the movie baby driver, which I love that movie. I haven't seen that one, it's so good, but um, yeah, it's deborah zebra anyways. Yeah, why the fuck would you think of zebra first, or at all? that's what. That's what the saying is about you would think about the most obvious, not the something that you wouldn't ever think about, but that's my point and that's the point of the saying Bradley, Unless you live in Africa, you wouldn't go zebra first. We're going to rapid fire here. Okay, best historical beard. Rasputin. We haven't done an episode on him. No, but we'll talk about that later. Who else has a beard that we've done an episode on.

30:16 That's a great question, holy shitballs, I don't think we really have. Nothing of note, at least. Nothing of note, yeah. I'd say I have a pretty good beard. You do have an epic beard. Thank you, yes. I've been growing it for a while now. Historical figure you trust to babysit your dog or cats. You have cats, I have cats yeah, I don't have a dog anymore. Rip Maximus. Historical figure you trust to babysit your dog. Oh boy. Well, that's a great question. I don't know. I know Probably not Georgia Tann.

30:58 She'll probably Traffic him or something Traffic him yeah, bitch. So it's. Who would I want to watch my dog? Yeah, who would you trust? Who would I trust? Probably the Sullivan brothers. Okay. If they made it through. So are we talking from our own podcast history To what I trust, to probably the Sullivan brothers Okay, if they made it through. So are we talking from our own podcast history, or are we talking? I guess in my brain that's where my head went. Because I could think of a good answer that has not been talked about on our podcast. And who? would that be? Betty White. Oh, fuck yeah. She was such a big animal advocate. 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.

31:40 Maybe she's watching my dog right now up in heaven, or whatever you believe in okay, from our episodes. Okay, what is your least favorite historical figure? oh boy, georgia tan, georgia tan, she was a super cunt. I did not like what she did to all those kids no no, she was pretty shitty she never got her comeuppance either. No, she died before. Really fucking irritating. I don't like that she never had to 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 not listened to that episode, it's called the tale of the baby thief.

32:22 It's our sixth episode yeah, pretty early on. 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. Okay, least favorite historical figure oh boy. Yeah, I would probably agree with Georgia Tann. Yeah, she's pretty awful. I can't think of another one out of the ones we've done. That just jumps to mind right away. Same, but it's pretty much her, because of those poor, unfortunate kids I almost said poor unfortunate souls. Just like from the Little Mermaid. But I caught myself.

33:05 Yeah, that's probably the one who I would go with. Okay. Yeah, she's pretty fucking awful. No, she's terrible, yeah, okay. Anyways. I don't know if we could answer this one. Is there a beer that you loved and I hated, or vice versa? Oh, I don't think. Well, we haven't done a ton of beers that were the same. 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 was very recent, so we and that was our fault.

33:46 We already know that it's a good beer. Yeah, we did so I. I thought it would be colder. I put ice in my cooler, thought it would keep it cold enough, but it didn't. But we don't do some. A lot of times we try and mix it up, so we don't do the same beer. Yes, we have, like today we've done Summer Shandy, but that's a go-to, you know it's just basic. I love Summer Shandy because it's my basic beer. Yeah. But for in terms of like other more elaborate ones we've sampled, we don't really go. I really like ipas you don't, yeah, you don't mind. Some like you like the founders all day ipa and stuff like that. But a lot of the ipas I like, like that maharaja one that al suggested for me, I probably wouldn't.

34:26 You would hate that. That was fucking delicious okay, so let's switch up the question. Out of everything that you have tasted, yeah, what is your favorite? and you cannot say summer shandy no, I'd probably pick that maharaja, okay, yeah I think I would pick fresh coast from three sheeps okay that one was delicious yeah, the maharaj is from avery, that's one of al's beer, so he knew it very well that he, he uh works for. But, um, he did not disappoint in that suggestion. So oh, thunder punch from kerny, nebraska our friend tara came through. That was you drank my beer. You drank them all.

35:13 Okay, I'd like to point out. There's been multiple, multiple times that I've left beer at your house expecting to have it the next time I'm there. From Kearney, Nebraska? No, From how many states away? I'm not talking about oh okay, do you want to get specific, Probably different states, not just Wisconsin? I don't buy only Wisconsin beer. All I'm saying is is beers disappear the next time we come to record. it's like okay, but these beers you can repurchase here here's the thing thunder punch, you cannot I can throw them up if you'd like. They might still be in my system. Yeah, exactly so bradley, we're moving on from this. Please do. Weirdest historical fad, fad you secretly wish would come back oh boy, I think we should bring back zoot, suits those are pretty awesome.

36:02 I mean, I could without the stigma let's bring it back maybe I should buy one without the stigma do you think there's a local zoot suit shop in the town that I could go to Cat hair? Jesus, you're not even near your 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't really want to get up again because that was a fucking chore. It's a chore. No, I'd say zoot suits. I don't like. Yeah, those are I, no, I'd say zoot suits, I don't like. Yeah, I mean it's a fad, I guess fashion fad, yeah, I can't think of anything else is there anything you can think of. I mean, no, I think that's pretty good.

36:42 Yeah, I like it, I like, I like, I like the zoot suits yeah, I like it, yeah, oh did you just think of one? what if we went back to annieioch and we brought back the Wild West show? I mean, that would be kind of cool. That would be cool. I feel like I mean, is medieval times still a thing? Yeah, Is it. I went to that once like a long time ago. But I feel like we can do a Wild West show again, similar to a style like that. What what they used to do exactly but the problem is now like I don't know, can people shoot like her?

37:22 I'm sure there's somebody out there. I'm sure there's quite a few that actually could. Okay, this one might be hard. What's that? Okay, you're, we're inventing a history. Buffoons beer okay what would it be called? 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. I was thinking something like along the lines of buffoonery, buffoonery, brewery, buffoonery. Right, but what would the name of the actual beer be?

38:04 I don't know that one's a hard one. It's not a part of my research. Yeah, ha, I see what you did there. I was just like no, it wasn't Ha. Yeah, you see what you did there, I was just like no, it wasn't, I think. I think my first beer would be that's not a part of my research ale, which would be an india pale ale or no, we'll do a session uh, pale ale, so you can drink it too, because you know it's not part of your research I think that's what I would do. Should we do also a companion, do a do a well blogger and a I suppose. Ale right, and I was thinking of a, a whole. 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, all of a sudden, okay okay, we're gonna talk in reference to some of our past episodes okay do you remember utsy the ice man? I do, okay. What episode was he? He was number um eight yeah, he was our episode 8. His last meal was probably deer meat 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. What's your meal?

39:48 What's your last meal? Because there's so many things I like. It's like do you go? I want a steak or something like that. Fuck, but I like pizza like pasta, I like shrimp like lobster. Can I have all of them? fuck, yeah, you can. So yeah, I'd probably go with. Uh, there's something in my eye I'm sorry if people are freaky with their eyes, but okay. I can always edit that out. I think I'd probably go something with shrimp, because I love shrimp you make a good shrimp pasta so shrimp, alfredo, I came up with what was it.

40:30 She said surf and turf, which is basically I came up with what was it. She said, obviously, you know, like surf and turf. Yeah. Which is basically, you know, usually referred to as like beef and seafood kind of thing. Obviously, turf can be more than just beef or whatever steak or whatever it would be. What the hell did Sarah say? Because I was thinking about like trying to add chicken to that because it's so good. I just feel like chicken would be a nice addition to it as well. And she, uh she came up with something. I'm just drawing a fucking blank. 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 remember how.

41:11 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 a shrimp alfredo type thing, like what I make, and then probably a steak or something like that, if I had to have a last meal, kind of thing yeah with a pizza for dessert, and then those molasses cookies. Those are so good, oh my god let's see. I would probably go with sushi from a reputable place oh yeah gotta specify that not from a gas station. Nope, that's been sitting there for a week I would do a philadelphia raw what is that? I'm not familiar with sushi, so it's raw salmon with avocado and cream cheese.

41:58 Okay. And I say raw because there are occasionally some that are cooked, some are cooked, or whatever, yeah, okay, so I would say raw. Gotcha. Philadelphia raw is my favorite. Is it really? Oh, my God. It's my favorite, yeah, so that's all you'd go with give me three rolls, I'm set. Wow, maybe some crab or goon. Oh, fuck you fuck. 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 a Yelp. Jesus Christ. What would his one-star review of the Alps be, which is where he died?

42:41 Okay. Went to the Alps. I died One star. Fuck. I didn't know death was on the menu. I mean fuck, I didn't know death was on the menu up here. One star, I'm being followed. One star, yeah. I'm being fuck. I didn't know death was on the menu up here. One star. I'm being followed. One star. Yeah, I'm being hunted. The hunter became the hunty. I mean, fuck yeah, I'm pretty sure he would not leave a favorable review. Too cold, too cold. Service was terrible, too cold and I died. I died. Okay, okay, okay, I like this one, I like this one. All right, we're racing in the derby, yeah, and your horse runs away. What historical animal are you going to replace it with?

43:23 You can't say like. A griffin. Zebra A zebra A zebra. A what? A griffin. Like from Harry Potter. Yeah, kind of like Gryffindor, but not the door More griffiny. You said historical Mine's mythical. Yeah, okay, so it's a flying animal. Is that fair, but it's also. Well, you didn't say it had to be fair, but we're at the Derby, all right, but we're at the derby, all right. Then a Pegasus? No, they still have wings. I know they do so okay. I think you're cheating. I think the horse would be, not me. You know what I would choose? What A fucking cheetah I mean, I'd probably do a jaguar well, I'd still beat you because cheaters are faster do you know that for a fact?

44:14 Yes was that part of your research? Shut up, was that that was not part of your research? Ale? you asked me the next question then um all right. Which modern day celebrity would best play the lead in a krakatoa disaster movie? can I not say pierce brosden, because he was in dante's peak oh, he was, that's right yeah oh man, I haven't. I probably haven't watched that since the year it came out okay um modern day celebrity in a Krakatoa disaster movie? Yeah, um, okay, okay, okay. What about Mark?

44:57 Wahlberg what? Why? Cause he was in a storm disaster movie called uh perfect storm. And he was good. I saw that in the theater. It was really good. It's really sad. Well, yeah, I mean, they all die. But he's handsome, but not like stunning, you know. Did you ever see what's his name from? He was on Saturday Night Live for a while. He does other stuff. I was Andy Samberg. Is that the right guy I'm thinking of? He does his Mark Wahlberg impersonation. I don't think so. It's fucking hilarious. I don't think so I'll have to show you a video of that, but I think Mark Wahlberg would be pretty good in this kind of an action movie. Do you think he would bring the Funky Bunch with him?

45:38 I don't know that reference. Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch. He was a rapper before he was an actor. That's just weird. He was in what is it? Calvin Klein ads and stuff. That's probably why I'm picturing him in a wife beater right now. And his white tighty whities. I mean, that's what the ad was. Yeah, wow, Burp track. Anyways, yeah, I think I might go. Tom Hardy. Ooh, I love Tom Hardy. He's such a good actor. Ooh, I love Tom Hardy. He's such a good actor. Ooh, I like, yeah, Me likey, yeah, he would be excellent. Ooh, what about Idris Elba?

46:22 I love him too. He's so good yeah he's great. 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. Oh yeah, the way he talks. Yeah, he's got a great voice Because he is from England right, If I'm not mistaken. I think so, but well, you know he has to be, because he was actually rumored to be up for the James Bond role. At least I don't know if he still is, at least at one point he was. Yeah, I really like him too. He's pretty good, yeah, he would be excellent too. Okay, moving on. Well, I have to say, I feel like if we picked Jason Statham, he'd probably just punch the volcano into submission. Probably. I love Jason Statham. I do too. Yeah, he's great too. Especially in Snatch and Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. Great movies Anyways. Okay, the Mona Lisa theft.

47:03 Okay, if you could successfully steal any historical artifact and get away with it, what would you take? And now, are we selling this artifact or are we just keeping it for personal possession? Well, I mean, I guess it could be a two-parter. Okay. So personal possession, what would you do? What the hell is it called? It's got a specific name, I think, but the headpiece thing that King Tut wore in his sarcophagus, oh nice. That would be for me, that would be for you. That would be fucking cool. That would be cool, yeah, okay, what? is that called?

47:44 Do you know what I'm talking about? It's not so much even his sarcophagus, because that's very well known and pictured. Didn't he also had a headpiece type thing over him, if I'm not mistaken? Yeah, I don't think I know the name of it. Or I'm getting it mixed up with the sarcophagus, but I'm pretty sure I'm right on this. Yeah, I don't know, that would be cool. That'd be kind of neat. Yeah, oh boy, that's a great question. And like get away with it. Like how would you get away with it, though I mean, that's super like dark web. This is the perfect world. But it's not. They'd be like, oh you stole it, oh you sold it, all right, and they'd just move on. Case closed. Oh man, oh okay, I'm going to switch that.

48:31 I would self the King Tut piece. Oh okay, For my personal own self, I would steal Starry Night. Okay. I love that. That's my favorite painting. And then that can be your background piece. Oh that would be so great. I'll put that back here. Sit behind me. It's real. 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't know. Okay, okay, I think I would take and keep the original, which I think there might be a couple of pairs, but the original ruby slippers from Wizard of Oz. Oh yeah, I think I would keep those.

49:12 If I'm not mistaken, weren't those lost for a long time, lost, I should say. There's a whole lot of shit background on the making of Wizard of Oz and I wanted that to be a story at one time, but it was a little overwhelming because there's a lot. It's my favorite movie. I love it. I well-meaning, because there's a lot. So it's my favorite movie. I love it. I don't remember I don't know if I'm remembering this wrong, right or wrong for that matter but I want to say the original ruby slippers from the movie was in a private collection for the longest time they thought they were lost. I want to say they showed up. I could be completely fucking this up yeah and just misremembering, or mandela effect or whatever you want to call it, but um, I want to say that was a thing, but I I don't, I don't recall yeah if that's right or not, but anyways well, I mean that would be pretty cool what would I steal and sell?

49:59 Yeah, painting uh, classic car I mean oh boy. Oh yeah, I don't know, I'd probably steal werner brothers like this movie studio yeah, and that's all it I'd like to ask another follow-up question what is wrong with you? How are you gonna steal that? just take all the shares. I don't know, these are mine, I'll sell them back to you, at a fair market value or not, oh my god oh, what could I steal?

50:47 What the fuck. Okay, I'm going to go all Despicable Me and I'm going to steal the pyramids. So it's funny, before I came up with my actual answers, I was thinking the same thing. Were you really? Yes, something ridiculous like stealing the pyramid, like Despicable Me, because wasn't there something else famous he stole in that movie? He was going to try for the moon, that's right. He stole the little Las Vegas Eiffel Tower. That's right, we stole the Eiffel Tower. It's from Vegas, but it still counts.

51:29 I mean, it's still an Eiffel Tower, just in the wrong spot, I guess. Okay, okay, oh, that's funny. Let's wrap this up a little bit. What's happening on History Buffoons, Like what can people kind of expect? Well, we got a few episodes in mind that we're actually going to probably have some guests on. That will be the first time doing that, so that'll be interesting. 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.

52:10 Yeah, his presence with the Romanovs and that whole story. So I would like to do a deep dive on that and have her on. Yep. And then our friend Audra. She is really curious about the Dyatlov Pass. Yes, which I don't know much about. You told me that. Nine hikers disappeared and no one knows why right well, they didn't disappear, they all died. Excuse me, nine hikers, all died they don't know the circumstances, kind of thing yeah, so there's lots of theories and she, she wants to theory us to death. So that's that. I was like sure let's do that on camera yeah, no, that'd be fun. 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 an expert on Rasputin, but I know of him a lot better, basically Better yeah, so, yeah.

52:57 So we're going to be doing that as a couple future episodes. We're not sure when we'll get those in, but hopefully you can expect those in the not-too-distant future, not too distant future. Obviously, you have a couple more topics that I don't want to know about, right? So we won't say those, cause I want to know them firsthand. The only reason why we kind of discussed those ones is cause, while we're having a guest on and don't want it to be like just talking at me without the other person you know, just being like, okay, why am I here? Yeah, yeah At least again we're learning We've never had a guest on. It will be very interesting to do that. It'll be fun. It'll be a great time, and then it's going to be a whole new. How do I format this for YouTube? So that'll be good.

53:39 But speaking of YouTube then of course, this is going to be our fourth one. Is that right? Fourth one so our first one was that right fourth one. So our first one was kentucky derby. We had a camera difficulty or towards what the last third of our I I found a nice uh, having technical difficulties picture and just put that up. Um, so we don't, we're learning, we we're looking into things to use for recording. The things that we use currently 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, so we started doing actual recordings of our podcast to put on youtube instead of just having audio on youtube, because we've I think think I put our episodes at the time it was back in October up and of course, everyone since then has been available.

54:34 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've been doing for us a lot of the well, we've recorded them and you've been putting up the shorts for past episodes, and then, of course, we're going to start putting those out with current episodes. Of course, we're just kind of playing catch up on that, because we're a little bit new to the YouTube portion of our podcast. And technically we're on TikTok as well. We are. We're not engaged on TikTok, but but there are videos. Are there as well? I mean it's same thing we would rather focus on on youtube. I just thought, since we have them let's just put them up yeah so you know, if we get a view or two, great, if not, no, I'm not concerned.

55:22 I'd rather. I'd rather reach people on youtube, because then they can get to these long form videos that we have and get to know us better, and so on. 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, but basically, if I source something, it's going to be in that pinterest board. So whether a certain book or yeah whatever, so you can have a link to that and our photos and it's going to link all of that in my pinterest board. Yeah, so yeah, which will be great because it's just another format for people to kind of see what we're doing and and engage and interact, which, um brings me to the next point, which is we're always looking for beer suggestions.

56:10 We do a pretty decent job at trying to find other ones, but of course, depending on where we go, we're a little bit limited to what they have, of course. So I try and keep my eyes out in different areas for a cool liquor store or something like let's try that, or whatever. And I'd say 9.5 out of 10, we do beer over cocktails. Once a while we'll throw a cocktail, and so if you got any fancy cocktail suggestions, as long as they're not too in-depth, I will make it yeah um, of course, any topics that people would like to have us look into, that you think is really cool and you know a lot about, and say, hey, you should look at this. Or just like, I would like to know more about this. We're more than willing to uh, talk about them and do the research and whatever, and have a conversation about those.

56:54 And, of course, um, something for me which is more idioms, which I get a lot from you, I get a lot from tara, I get a decent amount from nathan here and there, um, I think of a lot of them. Just come across, I'm across in everyday life, it's like fuck, that's an idiom. It's getting to the point where I need to figure out a new filing system for how many we have and I can just start telling everyone that is double suggested, I guess, or multiple suggestions for it, but I just want to keep track of better track of all the ones we've used, so I don't, I don't want to repeat one. Yeah, of course, but uh, yeah. So if you have any beer suggestions, any topic suggestions or any idioms that you like use, want to know more about that, we can look into.

57:37 We, uh, would greatly appreciate you reaching out to us and you can, you know, of course, find us. You can leave comments in our videos on youtube. You can reach us, reach out to us at history buffoons podcast at gmailcom our websites, uh, you can get in touch through there with us um, uh, even instagram, twitter, all that stuff, you can leave comments, messages, whatever yep or x, whatever people call it these days, or facebook. That's the only one I think I missed. So, yeah, reach out to us, please and give us some suggestions, because we want to interact with the fans as much as we can and, yeah, just wouldn't mind getting something that someone wants to learn more about, I guess, is what I'm saying.

58:25 So, anyways, well, I suppose All right. All right, buffoons. that's it for today's episode buckle up, because we've got another historical adventure waiting for you.
