00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:09,960
Welcome to soft core History. Welcome

2
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,119
for the week, dam or jes
right, and now I'm joined as always

3
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,080
by Jake Goman and Rock Fox.
What is up? Boys? Hello?

4
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:19,440
Hello, I went to a concert
yesterday. You were in the pit.

5
00:00:19,559 --> 00:00:22,519
I was in the pitying love someone
I was. I was not trying to

6
00:00:22,519 --> 00:00:25,239
love anyone. I was trying to
love myself. Were you was your wife?

7
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,920
Not there? No? I want
my buddy, okay, why you

8
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,280
love your buddy? Then? Yeah, I loved my buddy. Me buddy

9
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:35,560
loved you. Guys, kiss or
no, we didn't kiss. We fucking

10
00:00:35,719 --> 00:00:38,880
uh just jumped up and down a
lot. You know what I hate about

11
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,000
mosh pit culture? What that you
get beat up every time you get in

12
00:00:42,079 --> 00:00:47,320
one. No close close? Yeah, I sit in the balcony in the

13
00:00:47,359 --> 00:00:54,479
opera. Opera. Yeah it goes. But no, I like friends,

14
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,200
not like friends, but like people
on friends on Facebook. Who a couple

15
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,679
people who like metal heads or whatever, And they'll always be like these people

16
00:01:00,719 --> 00:01:04,000
don't understand a bit bush beets man, it's not violent. As soon as

17
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,200
you get knocked down, one hundred
people help you back up, and it's

18
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:08,799
just done. To keep going.
I'm like, I don't know, you

19
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:14,879
still got knocked down. Well,
it's not a Travis Scott concert. Yeah,

20
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:19,120
now that Yeah, that's the most
metal. Yeah, if you don't

21
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,319
have risk of trampling, yeah,
we're you even doing. Jake actually said

22
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,079
it was gotten pretty soft. Well, yeah, like when I was younger,

23
00:01:25,079 --> 00:01:27,560
people were throwing punches in the mosh
pit. That anymore, huh No,

24
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,519
they don't do that no more.
If I was one of if I

25
00:01:30,519 --> 00:01:33,640
was one of those dads whose son
was killed with that Travis Scott concert by

26
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:38,599
being crushed to death, I would
wait to see how my lawsuit went,

27
00:01:38,079 --> 00:01:42,040
and it didn't go the way I
wanted to. Probably murder him, kill

28
00:01:42,079 --> 00:01:46,920
Travis Scott. Yeah, good look
getting to him, I mean getting to

29
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,840
him, get to Travis Scott.
You couldn't you can. I don't think

30
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,319
it'd be hard. I don't think
you get close enough to shoot him.

31
00:01:53,359 --> 00:01:57,719
Dude, he's protected by Ronald McDonald. Yeah, cactus Jack, the cactus

32
00:01:57,799 --> 00:02:01,760
Jack nail. Well yeah, well
don't just off somebody with McDonald's money.

33
00:02:01,799 --> 00:02:06,159
I don't think you would be able
to get close enough to Cactus Jack with

34
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,639
a gun to be able to kill
him. Especially how close do I need

35
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:13,759
to get I mean, how give
a shot? Are you a decent shot?

36
00:02:13,879 --> 00:02:15,080
Are you give him the moving target? I can get him in the

37
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:21,120
spine. You could shoot him in
the spying down a sidewalk, so he's

38
00:02:21,159 --> 00:02:24,439
walking either a way or towards me
and not left to right. It's very

39
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:30,039
specific conditions. And there's there's a
clear shot on him. Clear it's down

40
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:34,560
a sidewalk, clear enough. You
are on an empty sidewalk with Travis Scott.

41
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,439
He's too high in the totem pole. You have to go for like

42
00:02:37,479 --> 00:02:39,439
a lower rapper. Yeah, you
Dolly. Why would I kill Young Doll

43
00:02:39,479 --> 00:02:46,919
who's already dead? I think kills
some fucking mixtape rapper, favorite mixtape rapper.

44
00:02:47,039 --> 00:02:51,159
Fuck you dude. Young Dolph was
the goat. I don't. He

45
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,120
wasn't the goat. I never heard
of him. He wasn't the goat.

46
00:02:53,159 --> 00:02:55,560
But he also wasn't a fucking mixtape
rapper. No, he wasn't what I

47
00:02:55,680 --> 00:03:00,960
was. Very much have some man, Yeah, very much noted rapper.

48
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,639
We're a history show, by the
way, but yeah, again I'm connected.

49
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:07,199
Well, he's history. So Adolph, Young Dolf ad Dolf. Yeah,

50
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,560
not a lot of people with the
name Dolph anymore. No, Dolph

51
00:03:10,599 --> 00:03:16,680
Longren and Dolf Hitler. Yeah.
I think actually the Germans would have succeeded

52
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:21,199
and he would have been beloved if
he went by Dolf. Dolph is a

53
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,599
hard ass name. That's cool.
The Germans win the war if he was

54
00:03:23,599 --> 00:03:29,400
Dolph. Yeah, if he's Dolph
hit Dolph Hill, he's eighty Addie Hitler,

55
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:35,280
Addie soft Dolph though, Dolf Hitler, that's terrifying. Yeah, Dolph

56
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,159
takes England. Yeah, Yeah,
Dolph takes Russia. The Operation Sea Lion

57
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:43,639
goes off without a hitch. Yeah, if his name is Dolf. That

58
00:03:43,759 --> 00:03:49,400
said, we have a Patreon Patreon
dot com slash software history. You get

59
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,400
two additional episodes every week, and
uh, you know, we got about

60
00:03:53,479 --> 00:03:58,039
two years now of evergreen content,
so I believe that last time I looked

61
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,439
at we have like three hundred posts
or something. I'm Patreon geez what Yeah,

62
00:04:01,479 --> 00:04:04,360

Patreon shit that We've got almost a

year's worth of patre You get your
fucking money's worth. Yeah, you could

about. There's some other stuff that you

65
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:16,759
can read. We've done some specifically
just episodes, and of course our last

66
00:04:16,759 --> 00:04:21,560
episode on the Patreon was us playing
Risk. Yeah, the first part,

67
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,560
I for one, You know,
we haven't finished the game yet. Technically

68
00:04:26,639 --> 00:04:29,000
it's going to be at least the
two parts or probably a lot of raven

69
00:04:29,079 --> 00:04:31,399
reviews. Actually, so far people
didn't expect to like it as much as

70
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,319
they did. The Risk episode.
Yeah, I need to listen to it,

71
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:39,720
actually, but I will say the
second playing board Games, the second

72
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:44,199
episode, Yeah, Rob is such
a fucking titty baby the entire time.

73
00:04:45,759 --> 00:04:54,560
Yeah, why about not waiting?
You all teamed up on it of us.

74
00:04:54,879 --> 00:04:57,279
It doesn't matter. No, it's
not a spoiler. It's just well,

75
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,680
we fucking knew Rob. Don't worry. We just go. We go

76
00:05:00,759 --> 00:05:05,759
out his neck. A very excited
Rob gets expressively more upset. Upset he

77
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:10,959
gets so good patroon dot com plus
software history, Why didn't you make any

78
00:05:10,959 --> 00:05:15,399
alliances? I tried to allie with
you. You didn't pitch it very hard.

79
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,639
You're whatever. You're gonna get BF
by both of them. I'm not

80
00:05:18,639 --> 00:05:23,000
gonna get BF by anybody. I'm
gonna butt fuck the world. Anyway.

81
00:05:23,319 --> 00:05:26,519
We just got to demonetize. On
to today's episode, we get to monetize

82
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:30,079
now every episode and I have to
like ask for a manual reveal on YouTube.

83
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,160
It's very annoying and it always gets
approved. It's just probably because at

84
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,920
the end of our end of the
award, end of the episode awards.

85
00:05:36,079 --> 00:05:39,439
Yeah, I don't know. I
don't think the AI goes that back that

86
00:05:39,519 --> 00:05:42,240
far. It's like the first five
minutes or something. Well, we just

87
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,079
talked about We talked about him on
the top about from the get go,

88
00:05:45,199 --> 00:05:47,639
So we're just covering our basis.
Yeah, Now today we're gonna talk about

89
00:05:47,759 --> 00:05:54,319
a man that we actually brought up
last episode. M hmmm hmm. We

90
00:05:54,319 --> 00:05:57,600
were wrong what I thought he was
the we'll get to it. Okay,

91
00:05:58,079 --> 00:06:02,160
today we're talking about John Quinn see
Adams. So you're telling me how lied?

92
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,800
Yeah again? Yeah? How can
we keep clipping stuff of me lying?

93
00:06:08,959 --> 00:06:13,120
It just does so well? Why
does me lying always? Yeah,

94
00:06:13,439 --> 00:06:16,120
the more the wrong, the wronger
we are and clips, the angrier people

95
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,800
get, the more engagement the post
gets, the further gets. Ready,

96
00:06:18,879 --> 00:06:23,959
you wonder how lies get halfway around
the world before the truth puts its pants

97
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,040
on. Now just the algorithm.
You were also so adamant, You're like

98
00:06:27,079 --> 00:06:30,639
that's just facts, and it's like, actually, check it out. It's

99
00:06:30,639 --> 00:06:33,199
not which which is. We'll get
to it and on the wrong we'll get

100
00:06:33,319 --> 00:06:35,920
it. We'll get to it.
Don't spoil it. I'm just I'm baffled

101
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:42,000
that I'm wrong, which it shouldn't
be. Should not be baffled by that.

102
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,279
So before we get into this episode, do you guys know much about

103
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,519
Quincy? Clearly Jake does not.
I know nothing about him, then,

104
00:06:46,959 --> 00:06:51,639
Rob, Uh, I know that
the guys from the Bear played him in

105
00:06:51,639 --> 00:06:55,959
The Son of John Adams. And
yeah, hilariously, Uh, the cousin

106
00:06:56,079 --> 00:06:59,639
or cut quote, cousin from the
Bear played him. I like, that's

107
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,319
how I know you the actor first. So watching him in the Bears really

108
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,680
fun? Did he actually get to
the North Pole? Did he get us

109
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,759
to the North Pole? At least? Just wait? God, damn you

110
00:07:06,879 --> 00:07:10,920
like my kids on Christmas Eve?
Just go to bed? Okay, why

111
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,600
don't you take a little map?
All right? Man? Rob got this?

112
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:18,920
All right? So John Quincy born
July eleventh, seventeen sixty seven,

113
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:26,399
on the family farm in Braintree,
Massachusetts. He was the second child and

114
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:30,319
first son of John and Abigail Adams. Obviously, his father was a framer

115
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:34,040
of the Constitution, one of the
biggest names during the Revolution. But the

116
00:07:34,079 --> 00:07:39,120
Adams were, compared to the rest
of the founding fathers, not particularly wealthy,

117
00:07:39,199 --> 00:07:43,079
fairly middle class. John was a
lawyer, a lawyer of repute.

118
00:07:43,399 --> 00:07:46,639
But you know, yeah, up
middle class, up middle class. They

119
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,839
had a home in Boston and then
then they had the farm wherever that that

120
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,920
was that you just said, so
you know, multiple properties and stuff like

121
00:07:54,959 --> 00:07:58,399
that. But like, yeah,
not like we're not talking like Washington Jefferson,

122
00:07:58,439 --> 00:08:01,000
who were like fucking loaded. Well, the name of the town now

123
00:08:01,079 --> 00:08:03,000
is called Quincy, I believe,
Okay, so they renamed it after I

124
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:09,120
got here. Quincy at seven watched
the Battle of Bunker Hill with his mother

125
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:15,079
from a distance. That's awesome.
People don't get to do that anymore now.

126
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,480
They call it stuff like school shootings. Yeah, and I missed the

127
00:08:18,519 --> 00:08:22,759
day. Just stand on your front
porch, maybe lean on a pole and

128
00:08:22,839 --> 00:08:28,199
watch a watch h a battle.
That's what they took. That's what they

129
00:08:28,199 --> 00:08:31,919
want to take from you. You
know, Now you're anywhere near a battle

130
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:37,279
here, you're getting just by a
drone. Yeah, true, Like dying

131
00:08:37,279 --> 00:08:41,080
in battle is probably lame as ship
now it's like like a drone. Like,

132
00:08:41,399 --> 00:08:43,679
man, you're done. It's like
dining call of duty some fucking like

133
00:08:43,759 --> 00:08:48,399
purple hair gamers, just like in
a fucking that not even like doesn't even

134
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,559
make a noise, just like eat
a fucking cheeto. And then like as

135
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:54,039
you just like lay bleeding out from
the grenade they drop from a drone.

136
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:58,600
Now, do you think they will
program the robots to tea bag us after

137
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,840
they kill us? Yes? So
that's all I asked. Look at that,

138
00:09:01,399 --> 00:09:07,080
this fucking cook. I was just
I've watched a lot of grenade videos

139
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:13,879
from the Rush of the Ukraine warm
so they stole tea bag in video games

140
00:09:13,879 --> 00:09:16,879
to this day. Quincy, in
mid February seventeen seventy eight to ten,

141
00:09:18,039 --> 00:09:22,759
accompanied his father on a transatlantic voyage
to France. Yeah, that was when

142
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:26,279
all my knowledge of John Adams is
from the show John Adams. I'll be

143
00:09:26,279 --> 00:09:31,639
totally honest with you, but that
was when John Adams and uh and I

144
00:09:31,639 --> 00:09:35,720
think Benjamin Franklin were trying to convince
France either get in the war or just

145
00:09:35,759 --> 00:09:39,120
give more to the war. Yeah, and uh so, Yeah, Quincy

146
00:09:39,279 --> 00:09:45,240
was in roughly the vicinity of Ben
Franklin when he was on his fuck trip.

147
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,799
I just one of his many fuck
trips. He's a middle class guy,

148
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,360
but he's on a transatlantic voyage to
France. It's a government paid Okay,

149
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:56,360
we give Benny Franklin a little too
much credit. He was kind of

150
00:09:56,399 --> 00:10:00,279
a scum bag. He was mostly
a scumy. He just fucked. I'm

151
00:10:00,279 --> 00:10:05,039
pretty sure the idea of him with
the key and the kite, he bought

152
00:10:05,039 --> 00:10:07,679
that idea from somebody. He stole
the IP or but he bought the IP

153
00:10:07,759 --> 00:10:11,039
if he paid for it, the
New cares and it's paid for, he

154
00:10:11,039 --> 00:10:15,039
could have just stolen it. But
he was essentially your friend. That was

155
00:10:15,039 --> 00:10:18,759
the idea guy. Yeah, cool, I need one of those useful guy.

156
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,039
I like idead people sort of.
I mean, you need an execution

157
00:10:22,159 --> 00:10:24,679
guy. You need to do the
work. That's why I never ran for

158
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:28,519
anything. I know. Well,
like in the American the founding fathers in

159
00:10:28,519 --> 00:10:31,080
general were a good mix of It
was a good mixed bag, right Like

160
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:35,200
Adams was a grinder. Yeah,
Washington was like the figurehead leader you needed.

161
00:10:35,759 --> 00:10:39,799
Jefferson was the brains but also had
a bit of an ego. Jeffson

162
00:10:39,879 --> 00:10:43,320
was the artist. He was the
lead singer in a lot of ways.

163
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,879
Actually he wasn't a lead singer.
He was more like the lead guitarist.

164
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:50,399
Yeah, it was like Eddie van
Halen or something. Yeah. And actually

165
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:54,320
Quincy's the first, uh, non
founding father that became president. Okay,

166
00:10:54,679 --> 00:11:00,759
that's number six interesting because it was
what Madison and Monroe. Yeah. He

167
00:11:00,759 --> 00:11:05,840
attended private boarding school in Paris,
where he studied Latin and French and ultimately

168
00:11:05,879 --> 00:11:13,080
became fluent or passable in seven different
languages people used to be useful. So

169
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:18,879
Quincy's kind of the first American that
is a world traveler first versus board in

170
00:11:18,879 --> 00:11:22,519
America that travels the world like this. Yeah, because if otherwise, being

171
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,240
in America by default makes you a
world traveler if you're not born there.

172
00:11:26,279 --> 00:11:31,320
He gets all over, especially in
his childhood and adolescence. Yeah, I

173
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:35,000
mean because of his dad. Yeah, that's pretty cool. Did he go

174
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,799
I assume he go to like did
he go with him to like the Netherlands?

175
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:39,679
And shit too? When does he
first encounter a mole person? Let

176
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:43,360
the story play out. I don't
expect you to answer them, but I'm

177
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:48,320
gonna ask my mom watching a movie, who is that? Like it's like

178
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:52,799
we're watching the same movie. I
have no idea, I am it's the

179
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:58,440
same linear story. But here's the
thing, we're not watching the same movie.

180
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,039
You have the script and wrote it. I'm just a passive viewer,

181
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,320
you know. Yeah, you're talking
about nothing like that. You're talking to

182
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:07,080
the television. What happens next television? Right? But yeah, five minutes

183
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:11,960
in and you're asking Christopher Nolan,
what's the end of Memento? Well,

184
00:12:13,519 --> 00:12:18,519
it's the middle. Mm hm,
that's the end. Yeah, because the

185
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:20,200
middle is where I get to the
mole people. Ah, yes, okay,

186
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:26,519
perfect, There you go. At
the influence of his father, Quincy

187
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:30,440
began a diary while in Europe and
continued it for the rest of his life.

188
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:35,960
So seventy plus years of just Quincy's
thoughts, thoughts and just his hopes

189
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:41,879
and dreams. Dear Diary. My
father's friend Benjamin keeps knocking at my door

190
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:46,519
late at night. He keeps begging
me to find wine and it once if

191
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:50,159
I want Dibbs, wants to if
I want Dibbs. Underneath of the broads,

192
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,000
but they're all so old. This
is why we know so much about

193
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:58,679
the Atoms is because both John and
Quincy kept a diary that was pretty lengthy,

194
00:12:58,879 --> 00:13:01,440
miss me with keeping a dye.
But that's the key to if you

195
00:13:01,519 --> 00:13:07,480
really want to like preserve yourself in
history. That and also make sure that

196
00:13:07,799 --> 00:13:11,679
your your narrative is the one that
gets told. Mmm you know what I

197
00:13:11,759 --> 00:13:16,559
mean, give them more details?
Yeah, yeah right, Yeah. What

198
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:20,039
if I just wrote, like I'm
gonna just write a ridiculously fake diary and

199
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:24,720
just leave it in a time capsule, you should I and people will be

200
00:13:24,799 --> 00:13:26,799
like, who was this Jake Coleman, this guy, This guy's a fucking

201
00:13:26,879 --> 00:13:30,440
lunatic. Also, well, no, like six hundred years from now,

202
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:35,799
they're like whoa. People in like
the twenty tens really like we're doing some

203
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,440
weird shit, you know, just
like make up some sort of like social

204
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,679
construct that didn't actually exist. Yeah. Completely. Yeah. In fact,

205
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:46,000
if I had a time machine or
like got stuck stuck through a wormhole back

206
00:13:46,039 --> 00:13:50,200
to any point in time where there
was like recorded history, I would just

207
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:54,159
write down the most yeah, absolutely
insane shit. I'd be like, hey,

208
00:13:54,279 --> 00:13:58,279
like if I got sucked back to
ancient Samaria, I'd be like,

209
00:13:58,159 --> 00:14:01,720
dear diary, his place is even
crazier than I thought. I killed five

210
00:14:01,799 --> 00:14:07,840
dragons today because I'm very strong.
There are dragons everywhere. You have to

211
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:11,080
Yeah, if you go back in
time, there's no reason to not fuck

212
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:16,279
with the future self. Absolutely,
no, it has to. He does

213
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:22,519
have quite a high opinion of himself. In fact, he once called his

214
00:14:22,639 --> 00:14:26,600
diary some of the most precious and
valuable works written by human hands. Wow,

215
00:14:26,679 --> 00:14:33,879
that's a fucking claim. I love
it. Good for him, he's

216
00:14:33,919 --> 00:14:39,120
incredibly self important. What year did
he write that? Specifically, when did

217
00:14:39,159 --> 00:14:41,759
he say that? Yeah, I
think it was in his later years.

218
00:14:41,799 --> 00:14:45,759
Okay, it wasn't like not when
he's a kid. That'd be sicker.

219
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,600
If he was like cool, it'd
be insane. If I don't know which

220
00:14:48,639 --> 00:14:52,200
is worse seeing it when you're like
fourteen or seeing it with me you're eighty

221
00:14:52,279 --> 00:14:56,639
four. By the way, another
excellent person who portrayed this reminded me because

222
00:14:56,639 --> 00:15:01,600
it's old John Quincy, who portrayed
John Quincy Adams. Probably my favorite part

223
00:15:01,639 --> 00:15:05,960
of the movie Amistad is Anthony Hopkins
play as old as fuck John Quincy Adams.

224
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:09,720
We'll get to that. Okay,
Yeah, you think I just breezed

225
00:15:09,759 --> 00:15:11,080
over the Amistad. No, I
don't know. I don't know what you

226
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:15,240
did. I don't even know if
that is you never saw the movie Amistad.

227
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,320
I've never even heard of it.
Okay, it's a good movie.

228
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:22,200
People other it kind of got liked. Also a pretty major historical event,

229
00:15:22,759 --> 00:15:26,639
the Amistad, So we'll get to
it. Okay, But like that movie

230
00:15:26,919 --> 00:15:31,440
has not Damn, the movie's been
getting a lot of blowback lately. Not

231
00:15:31,559 --> 00:15:33,360
lately, but like in the peak, like woke era, because people were

232
00:15:33,399 --> 00:15:37,360
like, oh, it's a white
savior movie. I liked the movie,

233
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,919
but he literally was a white savior. Yeah, they needed a white guy

234
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,200
to save him. No Quincy did
this. Yeah, I know they needed

235
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:46,159
a white guy to save him.
Now, to be fair, they need

236
00:15:46,159 --> 00:15:48,799
a white guy to save them from
other white guys. So it's not like,

237
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:52,759
yeah, it's not like white people
fuck. Yeah, it's more just

238
00:15:52,879 --> 00:15:56,240
a break even. But I don't
know, it's a good movie. I

239
00:15:56,279 --> 00:15:58,039
liked it. And also how he
gets them off might be a little different

240
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:04,519
than maybe have them portrays. I'm
sure. So they sailed back to the

241
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:08,440
US in seventeen seventy nine and arrived
back in August. It was very short

242
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,519
lived, though, as they immediately
turned back two months later to France.

243
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:15,960
As Big John had to negotiate a
peace treaty with Britain to recognize America's independence,

244
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,519
they had to go back two months
later. H So what they spent

245
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:25,000
like fucking three weeks on the boat, got there two months of rest.

246
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:29,320
I mean that at this point,
that's like hell, that's a nightmare.

247
00:16:29,399 --> 00:16:33,240
That's like having a flight, like
a six hour flight, getting to the

248
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:37,960
airport, getting to sleep for like
a six hours I guess at the airport,

249
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,759
and then getting right back on the
fucking plane for another six hours.

250
00:16:41,799 --> 00:16:47,519
Well, this particular trip was not
so smooth. Obviously the wars going on,

251
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:52,679
had to dodge some British ships they
were negotiating. Well, this was

252
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:56,960
in seventeen seventy nine, so it
was like the early stages of okay,

253
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:00,840
yeah, yeah, maybe you know, get to the table. It wasn't

254
00:17:00,879 --> 00:17:03,079
like full for another couple of years. Yeah, so they had to at

255
00:17:03,119 --> 00:17:07,680
least, you know, get the
framework going. However, on this trip,

256
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:11,759
the ship took damage. It began
to take on water, forcing the

257
00:17:11,799 --> 00:17:15,960
captain to make landfall in northern Spain
in early December, and the group had

258
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:21,480
to cross the Pyrenees Mountains into France. They arrived back into Paris in February

259
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:26,279
seventeen eighty, so a bit of
a detour. I can't imagine any road

260
00:17:26,279 --> 00:17:30,240
trip at that time is fun.
Can you imagine? Like, oh,

261
00:17:30,519 --> 00:17:33,839
yeah, there was an issue with
the wing of the plane. So we

262
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:37,400
know you wanted to go to Paris, but you're in Lisbon now and we

263
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:41,279
can't get you there. Also,
you're both starting to sink in December.

264
00:17:41,599 --> 00:17:45,279
Yeah, ooh, hold water,
you're gonna die soon. It's like,

265
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,559
please find the nearest place, like
piece of land anywhere. Yeah, that

266
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:53,640
isn't a fucking jagged cliff. Just
put the boat there. Yeah. French

267
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:59,160
Foreign Minister wouldn't come to an agreement
with Adams until the French would reconquer Canadian

268
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:03,039
territories taken by the British. They
went revenge for the Little World War.

269
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:04,680
They were just in the Seven Years
War, I mean, the whole revolute

270
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,960
the revolution happened because of the Seven
Years War. Big John had to call

271
00:18:08,039 --> 00:18:11,440
an audible, so he went to
Amsterdam to get a loan from the Dutch

272
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:15,160
and to lessen American dependence on the
French. That's a funny scene from John

273
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:19,759
Adams because the Dutch are just like
these stiff like Puritans, and they're all

274
00:18:19,799 --> 00:18:22,640
speaking Dutch like about him in front
of him, and they're just like,

275
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:30,079
this guy sucks about John Adams,
not Quincy, Like the guy's the fuck's

276
00:18:30,079 --> 00:18:33,960
going on. Quincy's like a teen
here. Yeah. While he was in

277
00:18:34,039 --> 00:18:41,160
Amsterdam, though he enrolled at the
University of Lieden, he impressed many,

278
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:45,079
including one of the men that accompanied
his father, Francis Dana. When Dana

279
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:49,920
was appointed Minister of the Court to
Catherine the Great in Saint Petersburg in seventeen

280
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:55,519
eighty one, he took fourteen year
old Quincy to be both his secretary and

281
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,640
interpreter. So wait, he was
in the court of Catherine the Great at

282
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:02,680
fourteen. That's insane life. That
was that's sick already. And I haven't

283
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:07,039
even like we've gone to the top
of the iceberg. There's so much more.

284
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:11,839
And by the way, I was
about to say something stupid. It

285
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:15,319
might be true, but I think
it's stupid. I was about to be

286
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,599
like, wow, and he spoke
Russian, but I think they spoke French

287
00:19:17,599 --> 00:19:19,119
in the court. And that's why
he was the interpreter in the court of

288
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:22,960
Cathinic the great, No, he
took He spoke Prussian and Russian. He

289
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:26,119
learned all these different languages. Again, he spoke seven I know, but

290
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,839
I'm pretty sure they spoke French in
court. So, but who knows.

291
00:19:32,599 --> 00:19:34,200
French used to be sorry, French. I was. The reason it's called

292
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:40,359
lingua franca is because French used to
be English. French. Everyone used to

293
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:44,480
speak French for business and blah blah
blah. That was America where the world's

294
00:19:44,519 --> 00:19:48,720
English. Yeah, now it's English. Now English is the lingua franca,

295
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:52,079
the Lingua engla. But we need
to change it. Fuck Lingua Franca.

296
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:59,119
It needs to be like, speak
English, speak American. The English can't

297
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:00,279
even speak English. Well, yeah, I know English. If you need

298
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:04,440
to go to go from lingal Franco
to like the shit shit, you speak

299
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,839
just the dumbest English way to say
it. Talk normal, Yeah, talk

300
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:15,720
normal, normal at me. Man. Once in Saint Petersburg, he wrote

301
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,160
in his diary that he thought it
was far superior to Paris. He actually

302
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:22,359
favored it, and he spent most
of his time reading and in isolation.

303
00:20:22,519 --> 00:20:26,519
Kind of a nerd. Yeah,
so his take on what city is better

304
00:20:26,599 --> 00:20:30,279
is total trash. You know,
it's not a reliable source. He didn't

305
00:20:30,279 --> 00:20:33,359
really get out. They did start
beheading each other eventually in Paris, so

306
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:40,960
fair enough. M seventeen eighty two, Adams returned to France and was recalled

307
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:45,559
by his dad to become his own
secretary. September seventeen eighty three, a

308
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:51,559
final peace agreement was signed and recognized
the United States as its own independent nation.

309
00:20:52,559 --> 00:20:56,160
The Adams go to London and Quincy
takes in British culture. They meet

310
00:20:56,240 --> 00:21:00,160
up with Thomas Jefferson in seventeen eighty
four and France. What culture you pick

311
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:07,880
up in Britain? I'm just establishing
my guy is a world trappferent. Great

312
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:11,480
job. You're doing a great job
of establishing a timeline and a bulletin board

313
00:21:11,599 --> 00:21:15,200
of pins in a map. Right, But Mike, what it's like he's

314
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:21,119
taken in the British culture? Neat? How different is that the American culture?

315
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,640
Point in time? He ate a
little probably, but slight, Yeah,

316
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,559
slight at best. The Adams,
well, he has a big theater

317
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:33,480
guy that he I think he learns
to love theater okay in England because he

318
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,880
loves Shakespeare. Can't imagine it was
a great theater tradition in the America at

319
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:40,599
that point. Wait, you said, this is when John Adams was the

320
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:45,039
ambassador. So this is seventeen eighty
three, final piece agreement signed that recognizes

321
00:21:45,079 --> 00:21:49,480
the US and you know the war's
over. Yeah, okay. They then

322
00:21:49,519 --> 00:21:55,039
meet up with TJ and seventeen eighty
four in France, and this is kind

323
00:21:55,039 --> 00:22:00,279
of where Quincy gets into good favor
with TJ. They become boys. Huh,

324
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:06,359
well TJ does like him young mm
hmm. Sally Hemmings was fourteen when

325
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:12,880
he started drilling her. Also,
apparently maybe his dad did the same thing

326
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:21,400
and they could have possibly been related. What too, that's just speculation.

327
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:27,440
John Adams, No, not Adams, Jefferson. Jefferson is dad. Uh

328
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:33,359
oh so he Jefferson could have been
related to Sally Hemmings. Yeah, yikes,

329
00:22:34,319 --> 00:22:37,160
that's because he did not. It's
not like Jefferson was the first in

330
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:41,519
his family to do it. No, it's pretty common. There was a

331
00:22:41,519 --> 00:22:45,680
funny letter. Well it's not really
funny. Uh. Funny's not probably the

332
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,960
way to put it. But with
the Sally Heving thing, the founding fathers

333
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:53,079
were complicated. Okay, I guess
complicated people. Uh, what's complicated?

334
00:22:53,079 --> 00:22:56,799
He sucked his slaves. Yeah,
it wasn't complicated. Well, he just

335
00:22:56,839 --> 00:23:00,799
took advantage of someone he saw his
property child. Okay, I'm talking about

336
00:23:00,839 --> 00:23:03,559
as the general idea of the founding
fathers. Oh yeah, I mean,

337
00:23:03,599 --> 00:23:07,799
like we anyone that lauds them as
these like perfect beings is wrong. No,

338
00:23:07,839 --> 00:23:11,039
but they're also not just like terrible
human beings. They accomplished a lot.

339
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,640
I mean I think it says a
lot that, you know, imperfect

340
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:18,640
people can make something apart from themselves. They also knew at the time it

341
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:22,440
was wrong. Yeah, but they
knew the country would not survive if it

342
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,400
wasn't for slavery. They knew it
had to be built, and eventually they

343
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:29,720
would revisit the topic later on.
Anyway, what I was gonna say was

344
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:34,400
that Abigaiale Adams wrote Jefferson a letter
because Jefferson had Sally Hemmings. Uh.

345
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,720
And then I think Sally was taking
care of his daughter or something like that.

346
00:23:37,799 --> 00:23:41,839
His daughter was older than Sally or
was younger than Sally. Sorry,

347
00:23:42,079 --> 00:23:47,559
and Abigail Adams wrote him a letter. They stopped over in England and the

348
00:23:47,599 --> 00:23:49,720
Adams just took care of them,
and she wrote Thoms jefferon Leonnar like they're

349
00:23:49,759 --> 00:23:53,759
here and they're doing well. But
I gotta say, man, your slave

350
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:59,240
is like less mature than your daughter. She's more to take care of as

351
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:03,160
a child than you're donners. So
it's like a very mature fourteen year old,

352
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:07,880
very childlike that you were banging And
no, he started banging on that

353
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:11,960
trip. On the trip he got
the letter and was like, oh god,

354
00:24:11,039 --> 00:24:17,519
damn, boats can't move fast enough. Also, probably the time to

355
00:24:17,559 --> 00:24:22,400
mention that both John Adams and Quincy
no slaves. Yeah, and I don't

356
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:26,799
know about Quincy, but Adam John
Adams was pretty adamantly anti slavery. Quincy

357
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:33,880
becomes a pretty big abolitionist after he
was president. No the whole time,

358
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,400
but he doesn't really get anything dumb
when he's president. And we'll figure find

359
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:44,599
out why. Perhaps there might have
been some obstacles in the way moles More.

360
00:24:45,079 --> 00:24:48,799
Yeah, fuck it, Jake,
it was moles That's what I thought.

361
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,400
So I was right. No,
Okay, I can feel better now,

362
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:53,400
thanks guys, All right, I'm
out. Seventeen eighty five, Quincy

363
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,559
decides to go back to the US
and finish his studies. He enters Harvard

364
00:24:56,559 --> 00:25:02,000
in seventeen eighty six studies. Long
graduates second in his class. He opens

365
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:06,079
his own law practice at twenty three, a year after his dad becomes vice

366
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:11,400
president, and by his own admission, our guy John Quincy kind of a

367
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:17,119
slob. Really not the best dressed
dude. He calls himself out on this.

368
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,160
Yeah, he always talks to that. He says the words in his

369
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:23,440
diary careless of dress. Yeah,
he's just like, I'm not iron,

370
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,720
you know. He's again like he's
not a Virginian, he's not a South

371
00:25:26,759 --> 00:25:33,039
Carolinian. He's just some Boston slob. He would sometimes go to church barefoot.

372
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:37,880
Okay, that's a lot. That's
fucking The only person that does that

373
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:42,559
is named River, Like you know
what I mean, he's fucking Tom Sawyer.

374
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,640
Good lord. It's like, oh
man, my Chocko's they broke on

375
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,599
the way here, so I just
did it all on a trial. Also,

376
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:56,519
for such a global man not great
with people, that does surprise me.

377
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,880
Just because you travel a lot doesn't
mean you're great at talking to people.

378
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,160
You could travel and not talk to
anyone. He's also a highly intelligent

379
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:07,720
person. You maybe on the spectrum
you should be able to talk to anybody

380
00:26:07,759 --> 00:26:10,119
if you travel a lot, because
you have a lot of things to talk

381
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,519
about talking to people. What if
you just want to look at shit.

382
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:18,039
He wasn't one for small talk,
and he lacks social graces. Okay.

383
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:22,440
In fact, a British diplomat wrote
that Adams had a vinegar aspect and sat

384
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:30,000
and frivolous assemblies like a bulldog amongst
spaniels. Doesn't even mean I was would

385
00:26:30,039 --> 00:26:37,119
say like pouting, looking grumpy or
have you seen Quincy too with his facial

386
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:41,759
hair? Oh yeah, but see
the spaniels though, are that makes sense

387
00:26:41,799 --> 00:26:45,680
for a government situation, right,
because they're all just like yeah, yeah,

388
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:47,799
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
yeah. So there was a bulldog

389
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:52,759
just sitting there like God damn the
fucking Sperials I hate everyone. Yeah yeah,

390
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:59,000
I guess so. And then also
he probably had hiptosplacia like most bulldogs.

391
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:00,319
He does look I'm I'm looking at
his picture right now. He does

392
00:27:00,319 --> 00:27:04,079
look like a man with hip displeasure. He was a giant theater fan,

393
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,799
Like I said. In seventeen ninety
two, he was a founded member of

394
00:27:07,839 --> 00:27:15,440
a citizens committee that sought to repeal
law that banned theatrical entertainment in Massachusetts.

395
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:19,519
What they banned the theater in Massachusetts. Yeah, so hold on, why

396
00:27:19,599 --> 00:27:22,359
if I can get this straight,
what year was that? Seventeen ninety two?

397
00:27:22,839 --> 00:27:26,839
So he repealed the law, right, So what I'm saying is is

398
00:27:26,839 --> 00:27:32,599
that at some point, probably maybe
at that point right before he repealed it,

399
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:38,559
but certainly right before. At some
point before that, theater was illegal

400
00:27:38,799 --> 00:27:45,200
in Massachusetts, but owning slaves was
legal. Yeah. So if you put

401
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:51,359
on guys and dolls straight to jail, that prison another human being and make

402
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:55,480
them work for free and rape them
as long as you own them, just

403
00:27:55,599 --> 00:28:00,799
fine. Nothing sounds nothing tracks harder
for Boston than that. It's like fucking

404
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:06,880
theater nets. Fuck yo, fucking
get off the stage, go home,

405
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,920
you fucking quick home, and fucking
slave like a mad fucking home all was

406
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:18,440
doing Shakespeare but here. Yeah,
so he became an original shareholder of the

407
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:26,759
Boston Federal Street Theater. Street Theater
mimes and jugglers doesn't sound like Shakespeare to

408
00:28:26,799 --> 00:28:32,640
me. Someone just like reading Sonnets
on a street corner. I think it's

409
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:34,680
just a venue. Okay. The
Street Theater is actually just a dude with

410
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:38,000
three cards. You got to pick
one. It's just like the guy that

411
00:28:38,039 --> 00:28:41,079
picks or the three cups and there's
a bean under that. It sounds like

412
00:28:41,079 --> 00:28:45,759
what someone yells when they're getting moved
by the NYPD, like a street theater,

413
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:49,799
mackbar, like the fuck out here. In seventeen ninety four, Adams

414
00:28:49,799 --> 00:28:56,359
began a career in international diplomacy,
serving first as US Ambassador to the Netherlands.

415
00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:00,920
He went on to serve as ambassador
to Portugal, Prussia, Russia,

416
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:06,599
and Great Britain. Legit, it's
a lot of different ambassadorships. As America's

417
00:29:06,759 --> 00:29:11,519
Foreign Minister to Russia, Adams would
wake up at five am and he was

418
00:29:11,559 --> 00:29:15,119
the og cold plunge guy. Oh
really. He would have an ice bath

419
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:19,400
every morning. You know, when
I was younger, I used to do

420
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:22,519
like an icy shower in the morning. I used to take a really cold

421
00:29:22,519 --> 00:29:27,400
shower to wake up. Why because
I thought it felt kind of cool,

422
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:30,799
like it was like, oh,
I'm awake now. And then as soon

423
00:29:30,799 --> 00:29:33,079
as I think I got even like
four days into that as like this fucking

424
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:37,039
sucks. So you didn't used to
do that. You did it three times

425
00:29:37,119 --> 00:29:38,519
when I was a kid. You
used to do that. Make it sound

426
00:29:38,519 --> 00:29:44,240
like you did for months years here
three days, three times? Yeah,

427
00:29:42,839 --> 00:29:47,519
uh yeah, sure, it's a
good story. I thought it wasn't.

428
00:29:47,759 --> 00:29:51,000
I thought it was really important to
add. I just I think it's a

429
00:29:51,039 --> 00:29:53,680
psycho move. It's a psycho move. But I think it's pretty cool that

430
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:57,079
this has become more and more popular
in this day and age. What if

431
00:29:57,079 --> 00:30:00,640
they find out it's like Quincy actually
did this back in the day. Yo,

432
00:30:00,759 --> 00:30:03,720
I guarantee they're gona find out,
Like once these like sixty seven year

433
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,720
old dudes started doing the cold plunges
and hopping in, they're all gonna start

434
00:30:06,759 --> 00:30:10,799
having heart attacks from the shock,
you think, so, oh dude,

435
00:30:10,799 --> 00:30:14,079
for sure? Is it that bad? I mean, I I have for

436
00:30:12,799 --> 00:30:18,480
a for a scavenger hunt. Once. I swam in a pond in January,

437
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:22,279
so like it was fucking it was
below freezer. Yeah yeah, okay,

438
00:30:22,359 --> 00:30:26,799
yeah he's not here here. It
was in college. Okay, I

439
00:30:26,839 --> 00:30:29,720
went, we threw its sex doll
in and I went to rescue it as

440
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:33,960
a lifeguard. Let's get a can
float. Yeah yeah, she didn't need

441
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:37,279
rescuing. Honestly, it was pretty
stupid. Yeah she is was fine,

442
00:30:37,359 --> 00:30:41,160
shew. Yeah, but I did
it and it was pretty fucking cold.

443
00:30:41,279 --> 00:30:45,839
I think I've swam in in like
water in like January ice, like middle

444
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,519
of winter, one or two times. The coldest water I think I've ever

445
00:30:48,559 --> 00:30:52,079
been in is like fifty degree water. Yeah, this was definitely clorally that.

446
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:56,440
Yeah, I've never been anything colder
than that, Like spring water is

447
00:30:56,440 --> 00:31:02,640
really about as cold as I want
to get enough sixty eight, that's fine.

448
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:07,680
Adams spent the Winner of seventeen ninety
five to seventeen ninety six in London,

449
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:17,440
where he met his future wife.
What was her name, Louisa Catherine

450
00:31:17,559 --> 00:31:22,920
Johnson. Lisa Catherine Johnson got it, the second daughter of American merchant Joshua

451
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:30,599
Johnson. They did not immediately take
to one another. Well that's her problem,

452
00:31:30,759 --> 00:31:34,759
is it? In the seventeen hundreds, yeah, sure, both had

453
00:31:34,799 --> 00:31:41,000
previously expressed interest in other potential partners. Okay, oh, actually that was

454
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:48,240
That was a scene in John Adams
in the show Quincy was just banging some

455
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,160
poor check I think, and it
was like the love of his life,

456
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:53,680
yep. And John Adams is like, you can't, na, you have

457
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:57,680
a chance to be somebody you cannot
be banging, can't be with a poor

458
00:31:57,839 --> 00:32:01,680
yeah, And and he regretted that
kind of the rest of his life.

459
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:06,759
Well because he ends up with this
girl. Guess what, buddy, you

460
00:32:06,799 --> 00:32:08,599
marry it poor. Then your writings
that are so important, the most important

461
00:32:08,599 --> 00:32:12,599
in human history, they're fucking useless. I'm gonna go out on the limit

462
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:17,039
say they'd never or never will be
the most important human history. No,

463
00:32:17,119 --> 00:32:21,599
I think they're top five. Why. I think it's everything Jesus wrote in

464
00:32:21,599 --> 00:32:23,400
the Bible. I don't you don't
believe it. I don't care what you

465
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:27,400
list. You don't believe this,
just continue to end. You're fine just

466
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:34,119
because Jesus notoriously wrote so much.
Yeah, always, always with a quill

467
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:39,440
and piece of parchment papyrus. That's
why it says the Bible by Jesus.

468
00:32:39,559 --> 00:32:44,079
Yeah, New Testament by Jesus Christ. Oh, that'd be a funny thing

469
00:32:44,119 --> 00:32:45,640
to go stamp on bibles. That
would be funny. Oh dude, if

470
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:50,440
you did like about the author,
or you just signed every Bible Jesus Christ.

471
00:32:50,519 --> 00:32:51,960
Yeah, that's what I'm saying,
Like you do like, oh,

472
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:57,720
it's the first edition signed Jesus,
he signed it. WHOA, Then you

473
00:32:57,759 --> 00:33:01,160
just get struck by lightning and hit
by a car. I would want liking

474
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:05,400
about the author with a picture of
Jesus, like looking off into the distance.

475
00:33:05,519 --> 00:33:08,440
Yeah, just like Jesus Christ,
Jesus God, Jesus Nazareth was born

476
00:33:08,519 --> 00:33:13,079
too, born to Mary, a
virgin at the time. They ultimately got

477
00:33:13,119 --> 00:33:17,559
together because of the prestige of both
families and kind of grew fond of each

478
00:33:17,599 --> 00:33:22,960
other's talents. Adams in particular,
I think it's the type of marriage where

479
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:28,519
you're just like, it could be
worse. Yeah, he liked Johnson's kind

480
00:33:28,599 --> 00:33:34,720
of knowledge of music, and she
sang a bunch and he ultimately grew to

481
00:33:34,759 --> 00:33:37,079
hate that. The singing the thing
that he liked. Initially, he was

482
00:33:37,119 --> 00:33:39,160
just like, I can't be in
the room with her. Hear me out

483
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:44,680
on miss poor Girl or whatever.
But he still likes it. She's smart

484
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:49,240
and shit like that, well educated. Yeah, okay, hear me out.

485
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:52,480
He's not in love with poor girl. He's infatuated with poor girl.

486
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:57,599
He likes and he hasn't had a
chance to live with poor girl too.

487
00:33:58,279 --> 00:34:01,119
But when he is making references about
Latin and she's like, oh, no,

488
00:34:01,319 --> 00:34:05,960
no, know about that, mister, Well you get your slaughtering this

489
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:10,000
sole whenever you look. Your girl
was in America though, But it's it's

490
00:34:10,039 --> 00:34:14,559
fine, it's it's all the same. Yeah at this point, and this

491
00:34:14,559 --> 00:34:19,760
girl is technically American living in England. Who Luisa, Okay, yeah,

492
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,199
yeah, But I'm just saying like, eventually that's just low class, Like

493
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:28,039
you know, she's gonna be like, oh, slop foot Regon, and

494
00:34:28,079 --> 00:34:30,599
then he's gonna be like, oh
my god, my god, my dad

495
00:34:30,639 --> 00:34:35,079
was right. Oh my god,
man rocks for breakfast again. We'll check

496
00:34:35,119 --> 00:34:38,559
it out too. Quincy kind of
gets duped here because maybe she's not so

497
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:45,880
wealthy. Oh maybe she's also a
poor girl. Oh no, how tragic

498
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:49,239
for him. Maybe she's kind of
playing him. I also don't think he

499
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:53,239
Some dudes just want a cheerleader.
Some dudes don't care about the conversation with

500
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:58,400
their wife. Yeah. Well,
Big John and Abigail disapproved of his decision

501
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:00,800
to marry a woman who grew up
in England, but he informed his parents

502
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:07,280
that he would not reconsider his decision. Adams initially wanted to delay the wedding

503
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:10,440
until he returned to the United States, but they married in the All Halloes

504
00:35:10,519 --> 00:35:15,280
by the Tower on July twenty six, seventeen ninety seven. Shortly after the

505
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:21,280
wedding, Joshua Johnson, her father, fled England to escape his creditors.

506
00:35:21,679 --> 00:35:25,559
Oh no, and Adams did not
receive the dowry that Johnson had promised him.

507
00:35:27,119 --> 00:35:30,320
Oh but he's already married. M
hm. Oh so you didn't even

508
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:32,400
get You got to get that dowry
before you signed those papes. Can you

509
00:35:32,519 --> 00:35:37,639
believe we got married at a time
post dowry? Regret it every day?

510
00:35:38,119 --> 00:35:43,519
I like I could have had at
least one cow like something. He'd be

511
00:35:43,519 --> 00:35:46,199
into that. I would be the
cow in your backyard. Oh my god,

512
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:50,199
dag out. Just if I had
one dairy cow in my backyard.

513
00:35:50,519 --> 00:35:52,639
Can you imagine I would be making
so much shit? Oh yeah, making

514
00:35:52,679 --> 00:35:55,920
ice cream butter every time I showed
up at your place, that have just

515
00:35:57,079 --> 00:36:00,320
dairy products for you. After this, to go back to Prussia, and

516
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:05,840
then we're gonna jump ahead to eighteen
two, when Adams was elected to the

517
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:09,760
Massachusetts Senate. He tried running for
the US House of Representatives in November,

518
00:36:10,159 --> 00:36:17,320
but lost, luckily for Quincy.
The Massachusetts legislator elected him to the US

519
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:22,760
Senate soon after. Yeah, so
I think at that point Senate races were

520
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:28,599
not statewide popular vote. Oh,
they're just picking people the legislator. Legislature

521
00:36:28,679 --> 00:36:31,599
was picking people the check it out
for like most of his career. The

522
00:36:31,639 --> 00:36:37,840
popular vote doesn't really mean anything.
Yeah, probably right, So he holds

523
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:42,880
it down for five years. Uh. Six years later, President Madison appointed

524
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:49,280
him Minister to Russia. After that, he became Secretary of State under President

525
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:54,719
James Monroe. In fact, he
was one of the most accomplished Secretary of

526
00:36:54,719 --> 00:37:00,079
States for his era and maybe of
all time. He actually shaped them on

527
00:37:00,159 --> 00:37:02,960
road doctrine, Oh ship, it
was him whoa Monroe kind of just stamped

528
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:06,199
his name on it. But this
was Quincy's a little bit. I mean,

529
00:37:06,199 --> 00:37:09,639
you know, it's like giving Look, we all know Andy Reid,

530
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:15,880
great offensive mind, right, but
a lot of the a lot of his

531
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:17,400
stuff at this point it's the oc
is doing it, or like Nick Saban,

532
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:22,239
great defensive mind, but like it
was Kirby Smart crafting a lot of

533
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:23,840
that type of stuff, you know
what I mean. Like it because at

534
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:29,039
some point you're the CEO. Yeah, I recognize you. Now you're not

535
00:37:29,079 --> 00:37:32,159
calling the plays, yeah right,
you're assembling a super team. I wonder

536
00:37:32,159 --> 00:37:37,000
how many secretary of States have become
president. Actually it's a good question.

537
00:37:37,039 --> 00:37:42,079
It's less than you think. I
would think. It's I would think you'd

538
00:37:42,079 --> 00:37:45,719
count it on one hand. Uh. So Jefferson was one as well.

539
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:50,800
It was pretty early on. It
was like it was like the springboard.

540
00:37:51,039 --> 00:37:57,559
Yeah yeah, yeah, six Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe. So yeah,

541
00:37:57,599 --> 00:38:00,800
holy shit. So there hasn't been
one since games Buchanan. That sounds

542
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:05,000
right. It was Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, John Quincy, Adams,

543
00:38:05,039 --> 00:38:15,079
and Van Buren. Probably because that
was Clinton. Part of the Secretary of

544
00:38:15,159 --> 00:38:21,519
State curse wasn't a VP. Uh, there was a gap between center and

545
00:38:21,599 --> 00:38:24,039
everything, like I think secretary of
State. Do you think so Buchanan put

546
00:38:24,039 --> 00:38:28,559
the sting there? Yeah? Clinton, Hillary Clinton had the Buchanan curse.

547
00:38:28,599 --> 00:38:32,119
Who's the most recent one that's run
Clinton? I think Hillary Clinton? Who

548
00:38:32,159 --> 00:38:36,880
is the secretary of State for Trump? A lot of people and oh yeah,

549
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:39,119
they always kept they kept it was
I think the first one was Rex

550
00:38:39,199 --> 00:38:44,800
Tillerson. Maybe was that? Fuck
was Scaramucci one too? He was Press

551
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:47,079
secretary, Press secretary, that's right, he got he was revolving. He

552
00:38:47,119 --> 00:38:52,239
had some generals or wasn't the last
one that Kelly or the Marine general something

553
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:58,000
like no, no, but uh, anyway, he had a lot of

554
00:38:58,039 --> 00:39:01,599
secretaries to state. The other recent
on. So under Bush, it was

555
00:39:01,599 --> 00:39:07,920
Colon Pound Connolly's a Rice. Under
Obama it was Hillary Clinton and then John

556
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:12,320
Kerry, who ran for president but
was not Secretary of State until afterwards.

557
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:15,599
It's yeah, it's funny you bring
up Trump, though, because we're about

558
00:39:15,599 --> 00:39:21,519
to get to a character that has
a lot of Trump qualities, or maybe

559
00:39:21,559 --> 00:39:25,480
Trump has a lot of his qualities. Oh yeah, the original populist of

560
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:30,199
course. Oh we'll get to it. Emerson, No, no, just

561
00:39:30,559 --> 00:39:32,920
wait, just wait, I'll feed
you. I'll feed you, baby boy.

562
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:38,760
Oh the order from Nebraska William Jennings, Bryan Nope. Quincy also negotiated

563
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:45,599
the Adam's o'nie Treaty, which allowed
the US to acquire Florida. Hell yeah,

564
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:50,360
but check it out. The reason
we were able to do this was

565
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:53,159
because a man just kind of went
yolo, I'm taking it. And that

566
00:39:53,280 --> 00:40:00,480
man was Andrew Jackson. Hell yeah, that's about right. Who he comes

567
00:40:00,519 --> 00:40:07,840
a really giant like fucking thorn in
the side of Quincy. So Quincy was

568
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:12,760
the sixth president. When was he
president again? Because Jackson was president in

569
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:17,039
the twenty four twenty eight he was
one term like his dad. Quincy was,

570
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:22,760
so who followed him Jackson, right, m and you know why because

571
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:28,440
he was like, fuck Quincy yep, yep, A lot of mudslinging,

572
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:32,719
a lot of a lot of ugliness
between Jackson and Quincy. Love that.

573
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:38,599
Do you think he just called him
some alliterative mean nickname. Click, I've

574
00:40:38,639 --> 00:40:45,760
heard Quincy, Yeah, Jackson,
Jackson's a cowboy Quincy queer Quincy queer Quincy.

575
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:47,840
I don't think weird means weird back
then? Right? He that works

576
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:52,000
too? That actually does work?
Yeah? I mean, haven't they like,

577
00:40:52,079 --> 00:40:55,000
I know this is more modern here, but it has gone as far

578
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:58,920
as they just called the Santas gay
in a roundabout way at this point,

579
00:40:59,159 --> 00:41:04,079
hasn't he kind of said that now
about the Santas who knows he's nothing tops

580
00:41:04,119 --> 00:41:07,719
calling Ted Cruz's wife ugly and then
and then him working the phones the next

581
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:12,199
week? Oh boy, how do
you you miss me with? In Texas?

582
00:41:12,199 --> 00:41:15,639
You can't be talking about a man's
wif a that it's actually can I

583
00:41:15,639 --> 00:41:19,360
guess he can. Turns out you
can. You can do whatever you want

584
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:23,599
and the state will elect that man
state again happily. If I was writing

585
00:41:23,599 --> 00:41:27,440
against tickers, that's the only thing, that's the only ad out run.

586
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:31,239
Do you trust this man too?
Like heotballs to support you when he can't

587
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:35,719
even support his fucking It is so
funny though, how everyone over reacts with

588
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:38,880
Trump and then it's just like there's
so many parallels to Andrew Jackson, except

589
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:45,039
Andrew Jackson actually served, not just
served killed. Yeah. No, he

590
00:41:45,199 --> 00:41:49,760
was a big time figure. I
mean battle New Orleans and we'll kind of

591
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:53,880
yeah, like we'll get to that. Trump talks tough, Andrew Jackson backs

592
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:58,239
every ounce of what he says up. Yeah, Donald Trump's a giant coward.

593
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:00,159
Yeah, he's a pussy. Yeah. Andrew Jackson was kind of like

594
00:42:00,199 --> 00:42:04,440
a mixed I know, he's a
mixed though, between like Trump and maybe

595
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:08,280
like Patent. Yeah. I think
that's that's fair. Yeah, he and

596
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:13,559
I think by the time Jackson died, he had like something like something stupid,

597
00:42:13,559 --> 00:42:15,559
like a dozen bullets in his body. So that was right. When

598
00:42:15,599 --> 00:42:19,400
he was twelve, during the American
Revolution, he tried to fight a British

599
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:23,639
officer and that British officer slashed him
in the face with the sword. He

600
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:27,880
almost got assassinated, but I think
the gun jammed and then he beat the

601
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,519
man. Want to be assassin with
a cane. Yeah, how do you

602
00:42:30,559 --> 00:42:32,079
not just like die of lead poison? We'll have to do an entire episode

603
00:42:32,119 --> 00:42:37,400
on Old Hickory. But Andrew Jackson's
he's pretty prominent in this episode, so

604
00:42:37,519 --> 00:42:40,559
I think we'll cover him just enough. I would love the ultimate presidential death

605
00:42:40,599 --> 00:42:45,920
matches Jackson and Teddy Roosevelt in a
cage to the death, both in the

606
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:50,800
prime of their Yeah, I would
actually be a fun little Uh was that

607
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:57,119
MTV show Just Celebrity? That was
good. I think Jackson wins just because

608
00:42:57,159 --> 00:43:04,800
he's meaner. He is meaner like
like he Jackson's a cont There are stories

609
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:12,800
about Jackson meet him with some of
I believe the Cherokee Nation and he talked

610
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:19,239
one on one with their leader and
the guy came out crying, Like Jackson

611
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:23,679
made this dude cry. How what
do you say? I think something along

612
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:28,840
the lines of just we're gonna we're
gonna wipe you out. You're subhuman and

613
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:30,639
we don't care. He's like,
this is this is nothing to me?

614
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:37,880
You are you are gum on my
shoe. Yeah, but that's for a

615
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:40,039
future Andrew Jackson episode. Oh boy, I mean that's the type of thing.

616
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:45,079
It's hard to cram into one.
That guy is Jackson. Yeah,

617
00:43:45,119 --> 00:43:50,400
and it is. There's there are
some like really like cool things that happened

618
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:57,440
to Andrew Jackson, especially when he
gets inaugurated, because he's the cheesiest inauguration

619
00:43:57,519 --> 00:44:00,719
ever. No, he literally invites
everyone to the White House for the party.

620
00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:01,920
He throws a party. He has
to sneak out of the house,

621
00:44:02,639 --> 00:44:06,719
but people are there for days.
They like shit on the floor, They're

622
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:08,400
fucking each other. It's it's like
a giant party. No, he leaves.

623
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:15,079
He trees the first like low class
like person to get in the White

624
00:44:15,079 --> 00:44:20,480
House is the first plub that ever
win that off. He also, at

625
00:44:20,519 --> 00:44:24,039
one point in New Orleans after the
War of eighteen twelve, just declares martial

626
00:44:24,119 --> 00:44:30,559
law and becomes King of New Orleans. That's cool, and just jails anyone

627
00:44:30,599 --> 00:44:34,400
that like goes against it. Yeah, I mean until you get things done.

628
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:37,559
You know, the things that we
all hate about dictatorships, the one

629
00:44:37,559 --> 00:44:43,480
thing they do well is efficiency cut
ye kind of No, they don't know.

630
00:44:44,119 --> 00:44:47,360
It's it's very efficient at making decisions. I guess, No, it's

631
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:52,360
not. You guess they are efficient
at making the decisions might not be efficient,

632
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:54,559
but they are made efficiently. All
right, fair enough. Actually,

633
00:44:54,599 --> 00:44:58,559
if you want to see a great
portrayal of Andrew Jackson, this is like

634
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:00,880
such a such perfect ca thing that
it could never be topped. Uh.

635
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:06,559
There's a movie about the Battle of
New Orleans. Man, I'm blanking on

636
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:09,760
the title it used to be.
It's Oh, it's called The Buccaneer anyway.

637
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:15,039
Ader Jackson is played by Charlton Heston. Oh God, that's perfect,

638
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:19,159
like, isn't it though? H? And he plays it just as grumpy

639
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:23,119
as you'd fucking expect. Back to
Quincy, though, Yeah, he also

640
00:45:23,119 --> 00:45:27,719
worked with the English on a joint
occupation deal of Oregon, got a lot

641
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:30,920
done as Secretary of State. He
then ran for president in eighteen twenty four.

642
00:45:31,519 --> 00:45:37,280
However, he was crushed by General
Andrew Jackson in both the popular and

643
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:42,039
electoral votes, but received more than
William H. Crawford and Henry Clay,

644
00:45:42,559 --> 00:45:46,800
and since no candidate had a majority
of electoral votes, the election was decided

645
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:52,360
among the top three by the House
of Representatives, which is still the law.

646
00:45:52,519 --> 00:45:58,119
Clay, who favored the program similar
to Adams, threw his critical support

647
00:45:58,159 --> 00:46:02,840
behind him, and that is how
Quincy became president. So that would still

648
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:07,679
be the case if neither Trump or
Biden got a majority of electoral vote,

649
00:46:07,679 --> 00:46:09,159
they didn't hit that magic number of
like what two fifty five and it goes

650
00:46:09,199 --> 00:46:14,599
to the house. Nico's the house. Oh and this was the og stop

651
00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:19,760
the steal. Yeah, because Jackson
was the most popular man in America at

652
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:22,559
this point, like he he had
he crushed all three candidates. But he

653
00:46:22,599 --> 00:46:25,599
I guess he just didn't get the
mistreads. Was winning battles in the War

654
00:46:25,639 --> 00:46:29,800
of Aging twelve, was winning battles
against Indians. He had so many battles

655
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:32,159
against Indians. What he had so
many battle against Indian? Yeah, I

656
00:46:32,199 --> 00:46:37,000
mean, like hughese proponent of slavery. This guy was everything America wanted at

657
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:40,159
that point in time. He was
a cowboy. Yep, cowboy before their

658
00:46:40,159 --> 00:46:42,960
were cowboy. Yeah. He was
soone telling you, you know what,

659
00:46:43,159 --> 00:46:46,480
everything that's pretty bad that we do
that makes us greater, fuck it,

660
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:50,320
I say we do it? Yeah, Like yeah, I'm I'm gonna go

661
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:52,800
out and say I don't care lean
into it. I'm tired of acting like

662
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:55,840
I don't want to do it.
Now. Granted, he did a lot

663
00:46:55,840 --> 00:47:00,480
of actually like very impressive and good
things as president and just in his life

664
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:02,159
in general. But also yeah,
but that's a whole other episode anyway.

665
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:07,639
So Quincy never actually gets much done
while in office because a lot of guys

666
00:47:07,639 --> 00:47:10,920
that are kind of loyal to Jackson
get elected into the Senate and House of

667
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:15,519
Representatives and just kind of block anything
he does. Yeah, so Quincy was

668
00:47:15,559 --> 00:47:19,760
all potential, never lived up to
any of it. We're just kind of

669
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:23,480
kind of cover some fun little fact
toys I found about him while he was

670
00:47:23,519 --> 00:47:29,519
in office. He was an avid
swimmer and he had a daily fitness regiment

671
00:47:29,559 --> 00:47:36,320
where he hopped into the Potomac every
morning. He actually almost drowns. Yeah,

672
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:38,880
it's a fucking river. It moves, it's not a pond. Not

673
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:43,199
a good dude. Some guy three
months after he was sworn into being president,

674
00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:46,599
by the way, some guy in
Saint Louis or near in Missouri just

675
00:47:46,679 --> 00:47:53,119
drowned because the part of the missipe
River was frozen and two of his four

676
00:47:53,519 --> 00:47:59,159
fucking corgies ran onto the ice and
he ran after them to get him,

677
00:47:59,679 --> 00:48:02,440
and all three of them drowned.
Oh god, because did he fall into

678
00:48:02,519 --> 00:48:07,119
the water. Yeah, And the
Mississippi moves, moves, and it's fucking

679
00:48:07,159 --> 00:48:10,000
big. Yeah, so it's moving
under the ice still. Yeah, yeah,

680
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:15,000
that's crazy, not frozen to the
bottom. Yeah, you don't know.

681
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:17,800
At fifty eight years old, Adams
could reportedly swim the width of the

682
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:22,440
potomach within an hour. So he
was a strong swimmer. But I think

683
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:23,760
one day the current was a little
too strong, little too much. He

684
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:29,960
was tired. Yeah, but he
made it, didn't die. Quincy was

685
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:34,800
also the first president to install a
billiard's table at the White House. That's

686
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:37,800
a bro move, right for that. That's very cool. He noted in

687
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:43,039
his diary that it was both a
resource of exercise and amusement. Okay,

688
00:48:43,119 --> 00:48:46,519
that's a reach on the first one. Maybe like mental exercise. There's no

689
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:52,079
exercise involving. He liked to play
billiards before bed. Anything that's not exercise,

690
00:48:52,159 --> 00:48:57,039
then I'm sorry. Yeah, although
this was an unpopular take in America

691
00:48:57,119 --> 00:49:01,000
at this point. Billiards was it
seen as like a dirty, dirty gambling

692
00:49:01,119 --> 00:49:05,440
Yeah, yeah, dirty gambling game. That'd be like, uh if you

693
00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:10,960
put in just like a big buck
hunter, no light, it's like w

694
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:15,159
just like, yeah, I gotta
get my big buck hunter and before I

695
00:49:15,199 --> 00:49:16,960
go to bed every day. Oh
man, I'll never forget. Did you

696
00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:20,559
guys ever have that app? Fuck
I remember the name of it, But

697
00:49:20,559 --> 00:49:22,760
there was an app run by Fun
of Your Die where you could pitch jokes

698
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:28,400
for money two different like websites and
stuff like that, and it was really

699
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:30,960
cool. I made like maybe twenty
dollars on it, ever, but it

700
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:35,119
was just fun to like pitch jokes
on it, mostly one liners and shit.

701
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:37,079
It was like if TFM had ever
done, it would be the type

702
00:49:37,079 --> 00:49:43,320
of thing where it's like you just
pitch TFMO and one of it was like

703
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:47,679
rejected bar bar Games and I was
just like, I was proud of it.

704
00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:50,840
I don't even know it's funny,
but I still like it to this

705
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:53,920
day. It was, uh,
what was it? Big buck Hunter?

706
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:58,920
Just buck hunter, big buck Hunter, big buck Hunter, stray dog Safari

707
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:06,440
straight just in Oklahoma. Yeah,
you just go around the city popping docs.

708
00:50:06,599 --> 00:50:10,800
No, it's the Russian Olympics.
Also that it's it's true. Unfortunately,

709
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:14,719
I was like I didn't didn't get
a lot of oats. I was

710
00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:21,480
like, come on, straight dog
Safari. Now. Adam's also had an

711
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:23,920
exotic animal that he kept at the
White House. Oh hell yeah in the

712
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:28,039
east room. I'm gonna let you
guess what do you think you had?

713
00:50:28,119 --> 00:50:30,800
What do you think he had in
the east room? He kept it in

714
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:36,079
the bathtub. He kept it in
a bathtub. Platypus, That sounds right,

715
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:43,599
No, uh sea otter speak more
American, more American in a bathroom.

716
00:50:43,639 --> 00:50:46,760
Oh a beaver? Mm hmm,
I'm out, uh bear. He

717
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:51,880
had a pet alligator. Alligator?
Hell yeah, brother, go geiter geiters.

718
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:55,360
Fuck you're wearing a gator's hat.
I know. And he also is

719
00:50:55,400 --> 00:51:00,280
the reason behind having an alligator.
It was both a gift from I'm the

720
00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:06,559
Marquise de Lafayette, but also he
just likes seeing his guests flee from terror.

721
00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:08,280
Yeah, say, hey, use
the bathroom in the east room.

722
00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:12,639
You liked fucking with people with Congress
Saint letting you do anything you gotta pass

723
00:51:12,679 --> 00:51:15,400
the time somehow. Yeah, raising
a gator and using it to terrify people.

724
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:19,039
It's like, literally, I was
inaugurated as a lame duck, so

725
00:51:19,039 --> 00:51:22,920
I'm gonna just have fun playpool.
Let's get to the elephant in the room.

726
00:51:22,559 --> 00:51:29,800
Jake's Lye, Jake's Lye. Mole
people. How did John Quincy Adams

727
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:37,079
become associated with the mole people theory? I don't know clearly. Well,

728
00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:43,960
it's because he kind of was a
proponent of this expedition to the Southern Oceans

729
00:51:44,039 --> 00:51:52,599
led by former follower of Sims Jeremiah
and Reynolds, but only after Reynolds abandoned

730
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:57,280
the hollow Earth idea. So there
is a connection to hollow Earth through Reynolds.

731
00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:00,800
But he was out on it already. He was like, you have

732
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:04,559
to admit that's fucking stupid, and
I will I will fund this expedition.

733
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:09,719
Quincy said that. Yeah. So
Quincy had no part in wanting to go

734
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:13,400
to the middle of the Earth for
mole commerce. No, he wanted to

735
00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:15,679
go to the polls, just to
go, just to go the age of

736
00:52:16,679 --> 00:52:20,920
Yeah, I mean it is quite
honestly, the poles are the most useful

737
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:23,360
positions as far as geopolitics are concerned. He was interested in exploring the South

738
00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:27,679
Pole, and you know, we
might find oil there one day, we

739
00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:30,480
might find a lot of stuff there
one day. In fact, he frees,

740
00:52:30,639 --> 00:52:34,960
mole people didn't even come into existence
until the twentieth century, so so

741
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:37,440
he was not alive. Where did
this come from? Then? This was

742
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:42,559
the Internet. I believe it was
a cracked video from like a decade ago.

743
00:52:42,639 --> 00:52:45,800
That was just like he believes the
mole people. Uh huh, I

744
00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:49,400
probably saw it on a BuzzFeed list. Yeah that got probably saw it on

745
00:52:49,519 --> 00:52:52,920
Cracked. I probably did see it
on Cracked man. So unfortunately now Quincy

746
00:52:53,039 --> 00:52:55,800
was not a believer in the mole
pole. Hey, what's gonna be fun

747
00:52:55,840 --> 00:52:59,000
though, is we're not going to
clip me admitting that I was. We

748
00:52:59,039 --> 00:53:01,239
also never posted it. I don't
think we just bring it up on Here

749
00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:04,840
a lot. Oh, we never
posted it. We didn't post it on

750
00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:06,880
IG, but it was. I
mean, you did say it on the

751
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:08,000
show. I did say it on
the show, and I have it.

752
00:53:08,119 --> 00:53:13,079
There's a story of me saying that
somewhere. M hmm, there's a clip.

753
00:53:13,639 --> 00:53:15,440
I watched it. Uh. I
get a lot of history stuff served

754
00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:20,320
me on TikTok, and I watched
one the other day about prohibition and this

755
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:22,119
woman who was a history teacher went
out of a way to have a little

756
00:53:22,159 --> 00:53:25,840
caption that said, no, the
income tax is not from you know,

757
00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:30,840
for provision sometimes, and I was
like, huh, it probably wasn't because

758
00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:35,079
of us, but clearly a lot
of people maybe somebody heard it. Yeah,

759
00:53:35,119 --> 00:53:38,480
I mean he got shared by uh
Rob Wriggle, So Oopsie, Daisy,

760
00:53:39,559 --> 00:53:45,280
Sorry, Hey. You know when
I said Rob Wriggle looked like a

761
00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:47,760
dick. That's fine, he's Kansas
fan. You know what, at the

762
00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:51,119
end of the day, I never
thought I'd have that kind of influence,

763
00:53:51,559 --> 00:53:57,480
So who knew who? I kind
of get why people lie. Now it's

764
00:53:55,599 --> 00:54:00,480
like it's way better, it gets
more engagement. That's and that's on who's

765
00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:04,920
fault. Who's fault is that.
It's not mine. It's not my fault.

766
00:54:05,159 --> 00:54:07,840
It's the algorithm unless you start doing
it on purpose. I would never

767
00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:12,079
I would never be wrong on purpose. I will I will say that right

768
00:54:12,199 --> 00:54:15,119
confidently. Because here's the thing,
like any any clip, if you see

769
00:54:15,119 --> 00:54:17,559
a clip of a person, like
a news person or something, and that

770
00:54:17,639 --> 00:54:23,440
persons saying something that's crazy to you, and you're fucking furious, and you've

771
00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:28,920
got to type underneath it like this
is wrong and you're wrong and bad,

772
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:31,719
I would believe this is bad.
As a variation of that, you've helped

773
00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:36,360
them, and you've helped spread the
lie. Well, the public being a

774
00:54:36,519 --> 00:54:40,440
just a in general, a wasp
nest that an algorithm can rattle, you

775
00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:45,159
can rattle, and what happens is
when you poke the wasps nests. All

776
00:54:45,159 --> 00:54:47,519
the wasps get angry, but then
money falls out the bottom. They don't

777
00:54:47,519 --> 00:54:54,119
actually sting you. They just the
wasps swear at you. They say you're

778
00:54:54,119 --> 00:54:58,239
a fucking idiot. The wasps.
They never sting you, and you get

779
00:54:58,239 --> 00:55:02,440
paid more gold coins fall out.
It's like you're fucking Sonic the hedgehog getting

780
00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:06,920
hit by something. It's really counterintuitive, but like anytime you see that wasp

781
00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:08,760
mess, just Mario that shit,
just jump up and punch it because you're

782
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:13,559
gonna get some gold coins. Hey, real quick, let's do some ads.

783
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:17,639
First up, we've got Factor.

is Factor? It is the best ready

789
00:55:39,559 --> 00:55:45,000
to eat meal plan you will get
anywhere. It makes eating so easy,

790
00:55:45,039 --> 00:55:49,360
It makes eating healthy so easy.
It makes eating delicious food, so so

791
00:55:49,840 --> 00:55:52,719
easy. Here's what it is.
You get a box send to your house.

792
00:55:53,199 --> 00:55:58,320
It is full of meals. None
of it is frozen. It is

793
00:55:58,519 --> 00:56:02,239
all refrigerated. Unlike other services where
you get the ingredients all sent to you

794
00:56:02,280 --> 00:56:05,280
and you got to cook them up
and there's still a ton of work and

795
00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:09,880
dishes to clean. Factor sends you
those meals fully prepared. You heat it

796
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:15,360
up for two minutes and it's good
to go. We're talking about pork chops,

797
00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:20,199
steak, pasta, breakfast, lunch, appetizers. They send me like

798
00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:23,719
Queso one time. They have everything. If you're on a certain diet,

799
00:56:24,039 --> 00:56:28,360
they can handle that. They can
do keto, they can do a protein

800
00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:32,400
heavy diet, they can do low
calorie diets, vegan, vegetarian. However,

801
00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:36,880
many meals you need from these people
three a day, one a day,

802
00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:39,039
two a day, they will send
it to you. There are fifty

803
00:56:39,119 --> 00:56:44,920
five nutrition packed add ons that help
make your meal planning even more delicious and

804
00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:50,280
give it more variety. Here is
what happens when you order it. You

805
00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:52,920
just get I mean, I'll say
this. When I got it and I

806
00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:54,480
tried it for the first time,
I was like, obviously I want to

807
00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:58,760
eat. It's free food because they
send us a box to try. I

808
00:56:58,800 --> 00:57:00,119
was stunned at how good it was. Like I was, like, this

809
00:57:00,199 --> 00:57:02,639
has no business being as good as
it is a meal in a box like

810
00:57:02,679 --> 00:57:07,000
this or whatever, but like it
is so so good and it is never

811
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:10,480
ever frozen. They also do snacks, smoothies. They have a wide variety

812
00:57:10,519 --> 00:57:15,880
of easy options in terms of breakfast
and midday bites and stuff like that.

813
00:57:15,239 --> 00:57:20,599
Factor is less expensive than takeout,
and every meal is dietician approved to be

814
00:57:20,719 --> 00:57:24,800
nutritious and delicious. Like it's the
perfect solution if you're busy, especially but

815
00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:30,440
you want to eat like not crappy. My wife still does it for lunch

816
00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:32,559
every day, in particular because you
know she watched the kids three days a

817
00:57:32,639 --> 00:57:36,880
week and works from home and stuff
like that. It's perfect for her to

818
00:57:36,960 --> 00:57:39,719
just get things done. You can
do six to eighteen meals a week,

819
00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:43,719
plus you can pause a reschedules delivery
anytime if you go to on a vacation

820
00:57:43,840 --> 00:57:47,760
or whatever. It is no prep
other than heating it up. No mess.

821
00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:51,320
Dishes are a thing in the past. With this, I would pay

822
00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:53,480
three dollars a day. Let's have
someone do my dishes for me. I'm

823
00:57:53,519 --> 00:57:57,519
totally that math is not accurate.
I'm just saying I would pay money if

824
00:57:57,559 --> 00:58:00,360
someone do my dishes. Factor meals
is the way to go, dude.

825
00:58:00,400 --> 00:58:04,559
Factormeals dot com slash softcore fifty used
the code softcore fifty to get fifty percent

826
00:58:04,599 --> 00:58:07,320

829
00:58:15,639 --> 00:58:20,719
Uh, when subscription is active,
can we get to what I found to

830
00:58:20,719 --> 00:58:22,320
be the funniest part of this episode? Absolutely? Yeah, for sure.

831
00:58:22,519 --> 00:58:28,639
The presidential election of eighteen twenty eight, not be necessarily because of it anything

832
00:58:28,960 --> 00:58:34,039
funny happening, but just kind of
the parallels of shit don't change, love

833
00:58:34,079 --> 00:58:39,760
that always love a good shit don't
change. So Quincy runs up against Andrew

834
00:58:39,880 --> 00:58:49,679
Jackson again, gets ugly quick Jackson, of course. Uh, Quincy goes

835
00:58:49,719 --> 00:58:53,199
after him for being dumb yeap,
being a retard yeap? Did he use

836
00:58:53,239 --> 00:58:58,599
the word more or less? That's
fantastic more or less? Like he's just

837
00:58:58,639 --> 00:59:05,400
like this guy has no education as
fucking backwoods redneck ass goes after Jackson's wife

838
00:59:06,159 --> 00:59:08,760
calls her a dirty black wench,
not because she's black, but because,

839
00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:13,719
uh so, Jackson ends up with
his wife before she gets divorced from her

840
00:59:13,719 --> 00:59:19,719
ex husband. Jackson's a home wrecker. Well, he wrecked thousands of home

841
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:24,559
Yeah, there were tens hundreds of
thousands of hopes were wrecked by Jackson.

842
00:59:25,320 --> 00:59:29,519
He only did one with his penis
that we know of. Here is the

843
00:59:29,519 --> 00:59:35,440
ship don't change moment, Andrew Jackson. What do you think he calls Quincy

844
00:59:36,679 --> 00:59:42,199
gay? No, a bitch,
A sex trafficker? No way, God,

845
00:59:42,480 --> 00:59:47,639
He calls like he like for whores. Basically, he claims while he

846
00:59:47,800 --> 00:59:54,480
was over allivantin over in Europe and
in Russia that he was constantly getting the

847
00:59:54,559 --> 01:00:00,719
sexual services from the czar and he
was constantly moving when interesting, so he

848
01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:07,239
was just like flipping prosties. It
really doesn't change at all, never changed.

849
01:00:07,559 --> 01:00:15,320
The sex trafficker accusation has been around
forever. I for one, am

850
01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:24,880
fine with diminishing the importance of calling
someone a pedophile or a sex trafficker.

851
01:00:25,039 --> 01:00:30,760
I don't think there's any negative downside
to calling every single fucking person you don't

852
01:00:30,880 --> 01:00:35,440
like the worst thing you can call
them. Yeah, yeah, a child

853
01:00:35,559 --> 01:00:38,760
raping immediately escalating to a lapper on
everything, Yeah you do. It's yeah,

854
01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:43,199
it's the equivalent of I have a
gun in every uh improv scene.

855
01:00:43,239 --> 01:00:45,920
Yeah, Like, you can't just
escalate to this. There's nowhere to left

856
01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:50,679
to go after you call someone a
pediasque fucking sex trafficker, well you call

857
01:00:50,920 --> 01:00:53,639
you can call you that guy genocidal. Check it out. It wears Jackson

858
01:00:53,719 --> 01:00:58,960
steam rolls them. It's not even
close. Well that didn't work. He

859
01:00:58,960 --> 01:01:02,239
should he steamrolled him the first time. You know, I never thought about

860
01:01:02,280 --> 01:01:07,400
this, but if it's true that
like a pedophile cabal runs the world,

861
01:01:09,079 --> 01:01:16,840
are they doing that bad of a
job all things considered? No foul separate

862
01:01:16,920 --> 01:01:21,480
myself from this take. I'm gonna
set this one out. No, it's

863
01:01:21,639 --> 01:01:23,360
clearly a joke, but I'm saying, like, what does it look like

864
01:01:23,400 --> 01:01:28,480
otherwise? Yeah, I know what
it's like when someone says like, Okay,

865
01:01:28,559 --> 01:01:30,360
let's say they are running the world. That's like the same thing as

866
01:01:30,360 --> 01:01:32,199
someone meaning like I'm tired of man
running. They wear they made it so

867
01:01:32,360 --> 01:01:35,599
bad, Like, what do you
mean, it's like the best it's ever

868
01:01:35,639 --> 01:01:39,320
been Yeah, it's constantly improving,
diseases are cured. Hunger's fucking fault fell

869
01:01:39,320 --> 01:01:44,199
off a cliff, Poverty fell off
a cliff. That all happened before we

870
01:01:44,239 --> 01:01:47,840
started electing women. What are you
so mad about? So? No,

871
01:01:47,840 --> 01:01:52,039
no, I'm not. I'm actually
distancing myself from Rob's take. Right now,

872
01:01:52,239 --> 01:01:55,559
I'm sticking with my The cabal isn't
that bad take? We're gonna move

873
01:01:55,599 --> 01:02:00,280
on, I don't. I think
we should stick out. I hate any

874
01:02:00,280 --> 01:02:02,079
take where people are like, the
world is awful right now. I know

875
01:02:02,119 --> 01:02:07,960
it's actually the best ever been.
Yeah, convince yourself. I just think

876
01:02:07,960 --> 01:02:09,599
people are want to be angry at
something, so the events bad. I

877
01:02:09,599 --> 01:02:13,519
don't even think it's that. I
think people just have this idea of self

878
01:02:13,559 --> 01:02:19,039
importance where the time they live in. Yes, it is either the best

879
01:02:19,079 --> 01:02:22,119
or worst or it can't be just
fine. It can't just be fine.

880
01:02:22,280 --> 01:02:25,360
I can't be just in the middle. Literally, every generation thinks that the

881
01:02:25,360 --> 01:02:30,960
apocalypse is going to happen their generation. But that's how could the oldest time.

882
01:02:31,360 --> 01:02:35,079
We're on the tail end of America, man, we're just we're on

883
01:02:35,119 --> 01:02:37,480
the downswing of it. You know, Just shut the fuck up, you

884
01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:39,599
don't know. No one knows.
That's the thing about it. No one

885
01:02:39,679 --> 01:02:47,199
knows who are the next world powers? America. Yeah, no, I

886
01:02:47,199 --> 01:02:51,400
heard China and russ are in trouble. They're not even seeing them for decades.

887
01:02:52,960 --> 01:02:57,119
But so Quincy almost gets a sense
of relief after losing the election.

888
01:02:57,639 --> 01:03:00,400
In his own words, the four
years were the most miserable of his life.

889
01:03:00,559 --> 01:03:05,800
About that, minus the alligator hijinks
and the pool and theo well what

890
01:03:06,159 --> 01:03:08,960
pool? He's screwed to the river
billiards. Oh yeah, the billiards and

891
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:15,360
the Alligan. That's really it.
But Adams being kind of you know,

892
01:03:15,400 --> 01:03:21,599
he always fiend for some type of
relevance and self importance. Couldn't just stay

893
01:03:21,599 --> 01:03:23,920
out of the limelight for too long. He ends up in the House again.

894
01:03:25,960 --> 01:03:30,199
Keep He's actually the only US president
to go back to the House of

895
01:03:30,239 --> 01:03:34,480
Representatives. So he has been a
Senator, a Secretary of State, president,

896
01:03:35,159 --> 01:03:40,119
congressman, ambassador, he's been an
ambassador. He's done it all.

897
01:03:40,199 --> 01:03:44,280
He's god damn, he had a
pretty accomplishment. Kind of ran the gauntlet.

898
01:03:44,400 --> 01:03:50,480
Yeah. So Adams served seventeen more
years in the House of Representatives,

899
01:03:50,880 --> 01:03:55,039
where he started to hammer his biggest
regret not doing as president, and that

900
01:03:55,320 --> 01:04:03,320
is slavery. In fact, he
campaigned and was constantly censured for speaking out

901
01:04:03,320 --> 01:04:06,840
against slavery. It's crazy. They
were centuring, well, you can't even

902
01:04:06,840 --> 01:04:11,440
say the word slave inside the house. There's a gag rule. Oh,

903
01:04:11,639 --> 01:04:14,480
just don't even bring it up.
But he ended up getting the gag rule

904
01:04:14,559 --> 01:04:19,679
reversed because he argued, because he's
a lawyer, that it was in a

905
01:04:19,760 --> 01:04:25,440
breach of the First Amendment, which
was is sick. So it wasn't because

906
01:04:25,480 --> 01:04:28,760
of people thinking that you should.
It wasn't like any type of like you

907
01:04:28,800 --> 01:04:30,679
know, moment of clarity or morality. It's just like, oh no,

908
01:04:30,719 --> 01:04:34,480
this is actually against the constitution.
Yeah. There's a good scene in Amistad.

909
01:04:34,719 --> 01:04:41,079
I think it's an Amistad where they
portray John C. Calhoun, who's

910
01:04:41,119 --> 01:04:44,800
like one of the biggest psychos in
American history, the most pro slavery person

911
01:04:45,039 --> 01:04:48,760
that you could possibly have. He
was the guy who came up with what

912
01:04:48,840 --> 01:04:54,880
they call slavery. They basically called
slavery necessary evil, something along those lines.

913
01:04:55,519 --> 01:04:58,639
And so to be like, I
know, I agin twitter back then,

914
01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:01,440
Yeah, right, everyone was like
I know, I know it's bad,

915
01:05:01,480 --> 01:05:06,039
but it's like a necessary evil,
and John Calhoun was like, fuck

916
01:05:06,119 --> 01:05:10,360
that shit. You know what,
it's the opposite of that. It's a

917
01:05:10,440 --> 01:05:15,159
positive good. He's literally coined the
phrase, like for exclavery, it's a

918
01:05:15,199 --> 01:05:19,400
positive good. So we are we
are domesticating these Africans when they get closer

919
01:05:19,440 --> 01:05:23,360
to the Civil War. He's a
fucking lunatic. There was an argument the

920
01:05:23,400 --> 01:05:26,840
South would always make that, well, at least we treat our slaves well.

921
01:05:26,920 --> 01:05:30,320
And everyone you hired, these irishmen, these Italians, they're getting paid

922
01:05:30,880 --> 01:05:35,920
dirt and you're killing them. Yeah, like you're That was the South's argument

923
01:05:36,039 --> 01:05:40,639
was that, oh no, you're
not doing it better. You're literally killing

924
01:05:40,679 --> 01:05:45,800
people. They can leave. Yeah, i mean once you get there,

925
01:05:45,840 --> 01:05:48,199
you're kind of stuck. You gotta
really make a call, like are you

926
01:05:48,199 --> 01:05:50,280
going are you staying in New York, You're going to Minnesota. Which,

927
01:05:50,280 --> 01:05:53,519
again, John, I'm not making
this argument. I'm telling you this.

928
01:05:53,679 --> 01:05:57,039
Yeah, yeah, the pro South, I'm this ward I'm sure. Oh,

929
01:05:57,079 --> 01:06:00,320
but the scene in Amistad is Calhoun's
just like looks like a psycho and

930
01:06:00,360 --> 01:06:04,159
he's like, fucking piece the fuck
out if you try to take our slaves.

931
01:06:04,199 --> 01:06:11,440
Basically like just lunatic speaking of the
Amistad, John Quincy Adams represented the

932
01:06:11,519 --> 01:06:16,199
captives that petition for freedom before the
Supreme Court, and so you never saw

933
01:06:16,239 --> 01:06:21,199
this movie. I'm nowhere the Amistad. So they overthrow the boat and they

934
01:06:21,199 --> 01:06:27,880
get to shore, and essentially he
it goes all the way to the Supreme

935
01:06:27,920 --> 01:06:30,880
Court and he has to argue not
off the merits that they're human beings,

936
01:06:31,400 --> 01:06:36,239
but that the people that bought them
ain't got the receipts. That's you gotta

937
01:06:36,239 --> 01:06:39,840
play lawyer ball if you're going to
be a lawyer. That's the type of

938
01:06:39,880 --> 01:06:44,480
thing that drives me crazy when I
see a lot of people complaining about I'm

939
01:06:44,480 --> 01:06:50,039
trying to look up who played complaining
about like certain arguments made in cases that

940
01:06:50,159 --> 01:06:53,599
are like popular and stuff like that, and it's like, dude, it's

941
01:06:54,280 --> 01:06:59,000
this. They're not making the case
for twitter. There's actual laws if you

942
01:06:59,199 --> 01:07:00,880
like. So, I'm just it's
like, do you want do you want

943
01:07:00,920 --> 01:07:04,719
them to win or do you want
them to just like be feel morally superior?

944
01:07:04,840 --> 01:07:08,800
Yeah, oh dude, because you
want them to win. Believe the

945
01:07:08,920 --> 01:07:12,000
job of the lawyers to win.
Yeah. No, It's like when people,

946
01:07:12,400 --> 01:07:15,360
uh, god, there's this case
that's kind of popular right now.

947
01:07:15,400 --> 01:07:17,920
They did a documentary on it about
this you know little person that was a

948
01:07:18,039 --> 01:07:21,840
child that got her age switched.
Yeah, you know what I'm talking about.

949
01:07:21,880 --> 01:07:25,159
Have you heard about that one?
Yeah, it's really fucked up.

950
01:07:25,159 --> 01:07:29,800
But people like, they tried to
get the dad for a neglect and abuse

951
01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:32,239
and the state couldn't do that,
and they just dropped the charges on the

952
01:07:32,280 --> 01:07:35,280
mom after that, and people like, why are they going after the mother?

953
01:07:35,320 --> 01:07:39,400
It's like, do you know how
many people would just lose their jobs

954
01:07:39,440 --> 01:07:42,519
if they wasted state money on a
case they just lost and tried to retry

955
01:07:42,559 --> 01:07:44,760
it on a different person. Right, It's like, what do you think

956
01:07:44,800 --> 01:07:47,800
is this isn't for moral morality here? It's like it's a court is a

957
01:07:47,880 --> 01:07:51,639
venue. But yeah, that's it. You got to do the things you

958
01:07:51,679 --> 01:07:55,400
have to do there so he gets
them off. They become free men.

959
01:07:56,239 --> 01:08:00,199
Also, the I was surprised to
even need the receipts argument because the transitantic

960
01:08:00,280 --> 01:08:04,719
slave trade was like illegal. Yeah, the British were using a lot of

961
01:08:05,360 --> 01:08:12,559
uh effort and resources to fight it. You could not importing slaves to the

962
01:08:12,639 --> 01:08:18,039
United States was illegal, dude,
I'm sure it was illegal, but was

963
01:08:18,079 --> 01:08:23,159
it common practice, that was it
socially accepted. I mean people would literally

964
01:08:23,239 --> 01:08:26,319
there would be man hunters that would
go up to the north and just get

965
01:08:26,359 --> 01:08:29,680
their slaves back, even if they
would take free men, people that were

966
01:08:29,680 --> 01:08:33,920
never slaves and just bring them down
I believe twelve years. No, I

967
01:08:33,920 --> 01:08:38,159
know what I'm saying. It was
it was common I guess, but I

968
01:08:38,159 --> 01:08:42,119
don't know what the volume was because
it was fairly policed, Like it was

969
01:08:42,159 --> 01:08:44,960
pretty decently policed. Yeah, at
this point they know it's wrong too.

970
01:08:45,359 --> 01:08:49,039
Oh yeah, they know what's we
hear. It's not like, oh,

971
01:08:49,039 --> 01:08:53,000
it was a different time. No, Like even then, they fucking knew.

972
01:08:53,359 --> 01:08:56,159
There is a quote from a slave
owner. I think they talk about

973
01:08:56,199 --> 01:08:59,600
it in ken Burton's Civil War in
the documentaries where they where I heard it.

974
01:09:00,359 --> 01:09:03,600
There's some slave voters like have a
paraphrase, but he was like,

975
01:09:03,960 --> 01:09:08,520
I'd literally rather be fucking hell than
be one of the slaves out in that

976
01:09:08,600 --> 01:09:13,720
field. Oh yeah, absolutely,
No. I mean the idea that like

977
01:09:13,760 --> 01:09:17,159
one day someone just woke up was
like, wait a minute, we should

978
01:09:17,199 --> 01:09:23,039
treat these people nicely, like that
people they were very well made by people.

979
01:09:23,159 --> 01:09:27,000
Yeah, like that. I don't
think anyone was like that's property r

980
01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:31,359
at that naive to what was happening. Yeah, and a kind of found

981
01:09:31,399 --> 01:09:38,239
note on John Adams during a vote
on February twenty first, eighteen forty eight,

982
01:09:39,359 --> 01:09:44,319
after giving a speech, a anti
slavery speech, John Adams collapsed at

983
01:09:44,319 --> 01:09:48,079
his desk in front of the House. Fellow representatives, who held the former

984
01:09:48,119 --> 01:09:53,880
president in high regard, rushed to
his aid. They swiftly relocated the allen

985
01:09:53,920 --> 01:09:58,479
eighty year old to the rotunda for
a bit of fresh air. Then they

986
01:09:58,479 --> 01:10:01,600
moved to a more private location.
He entered Acoma, and he died just

987
01:10:01,640 --> 01:10:08,279
two days after a stroke. And
weirdly, like we mentioned, actually a

988
01:10:08,319 --> 01:10:13,720
true story from last week, one
of his pallbears was one Abraham Lincoln.

989
01:10:14,079 --> 01:10:17,000
Well, a young Abraham Lincoln who
was a big fan of his. I'm

990
01:10:17,039 --> 01:10:21,920
glad he got to see us get
like Californian and stuff win the Mexican War.

991
01:10:23,720 --> 01:10:26,800
Yeah. Well, he was actually
one of the proponents against the Mexicans.

992
01:10:26,800 --> 01:10:30,000
I'm sure he was a very liberal
position and at that time very am

993
01:10:30,239 --> 01:10:34,239
well because in part because they were
afraid it was gonna spread slavery, so

994
01:10:34,239 --> 01:10:39,119
they didn't want to add more land
areas where you could have slaves, although

995
01:10:39,119 --> 01:10:44,680
also was against like Thomas Paine and
the revolutions in like England and France,

996
01:10:45,479 --> 01:10:47,640
against Thomas Pain really early on,
like he was right. He would write

997
01:10:47,720 --> 01:10:53,159
under like a pseudonym and just start
trashing Thomas Pain. That's why, I

998
01:10:53,199 --> 01:10:57,199
mean the revelation in France was fucking
trash and chaos anyway, so that's not

999
01:10:57,640 --> 01:11:01,000
His whole argument was if this can
to us, the cycles continue, it'll

1000
01:11:01,039 --> 01:11:08,079
just spread into America and that's the
lesson they need. Yeah, but yeah,

1001
01:11:08,119 --> 01:11:12,319
he was kind of a you know, well versed, pretty chill dude

1002
01:11:12,359 --> 01:11:16,119
all things considered, kind of a
douche with what he thought of himself.

1003
01:11:16,479 --> 01:11:18,840
Had a high regard for himself.
I mean, but to be fair,

1004
01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:23,079
looking at his track record, like
good resume, Yeah, it's hard not

1005
01:11:23,199 --> 01:11:26,159
to feel that way. Kind of
unlikable though, Yeah, it's like not

1006
01:11:26,199 --> 01:11:29,600
a good hang. I'm the best
hand you can see that. Honestly his

1007
01:11:30,319 --> 01:11:32,560
I don't know if his, but
like he he got what he wanted with

1008
01:11:32,600 --> 01:11:38,920
the slavery not spreading, and the
territories we got from Mexico because they really

1009
01:11:39,359 --> 01:11:45,159
didn't like Texas. We already had
so slave were already there that wasn't part

1010
01:11:45,159 --> 01:11:48,159
of the Mexican American War. What
we got mostly the West, like California,

1011
01:11:48,239 --> 01:11:51,359
New Mexico, Arizona, stuff like
that. There was a little slavery

1012
01:11:51,399 --> 01:11:59,159
there, but like nothing of note, nothing, nothing so notable that and

1013
01:11:59,159 --> 01:12:00,760
they weren't states, so that was
a big thing. They were afraidies,

1014
01:12:00,840 --> 01:12:05,119
right, they were afraid of more
slave representation coming into Congress and stuff like

1015
01:12:05,159 --> 01:12:11,239
that. I guess kind of the
biggest accomplishment he made as US president was

1016
01:12:11,319 --> 01:12:15,640
he built a lot of roads and
canals, so he was trying to connect

1017
01:12:15,720 --> 01:12:19,199
the continent infrastructure US. I mean, connecting the US is just still one

1018
01:12:19,239 --> 01:12:23,560
of the most amazing things we've ever
done as a country. But you're never

1019
01:12:23,680 --> 01:12:27,640
you're never gonna get props for doing
doing the little things. Yeah, you

1020
01:12:27,720 --> 01:12:30,680
know, no, I mean,
like our interstate systems probably the greatest in

1021
01:12:30,680 --> 01:12:36,319
the world, you know, Ike, Ike, Yeah, Yeah, I

1022
01:12:36,319 --> 01:12:41,520
guess you know. I learned today
that once again I was wrong. That's

1023
01:12:41,560 --> 01:12:44,119
what I learned. It's a good
lesson I learned. Takes a big man

1024
01:12:44,159 --> 01:12:45,680
to admit that. Oh yeah,
absolutely. I you know what, for

1025
01:12:45,760 --> 01:12:50,159
everyone at home, I'm sorry I
told you that, John Quincy, But

1026
01:12:50,239 --> 01:12:54,159
everybody else thought that too. I
think it's because that cracked video. You

1027
01:12:54,279 --> 01:12:58,000
make something go viral and all of
a sudden, it's just facts. Yeah,

1028
01:12:58,199 --> 01:13:00,079
that's honestly, that's on me.
I done my research. I didn't

1029
01:13:00,079 --> 01:13:02,399
because I wanted to believe that.
I didn't fight back either. I heard

1030
01:13:02,479 --> 01:13:06,319
that too. Yeah, I sorry. I wanted to believe it. I

1031
01:13:06,359 --> 01:13:11,399
really wanted that to be true.
Who's to say it's not? And you

1032
01:13:11,439 --> 01:13:15,119
know I didn't say even though more
people didn't come into the public discourse until

1033
01:13:15,319 --> 01:13:21,199
the nine nineteen hundreds, you know
what I learned today. Honestly, he

1034
01:13:21,199 --> 01:13:25,640
basically wrote them on road doctrine.
Jaquincy Adams is one of the most influential

1035
01:13:25,680 --> 01:13:30,039
people in US foreign policy history.
It's wild and he got Florida, and

1036
01:13:30,079 --> 01:13:34,319
he got Florida, and he got
Florida by the aid of Andrew Jackson Yollowen.

1037
01:13:35,680 --> 01:13:39,399
It's like, we're gonna take this. But he is like, Saminel

1038
01:13:39,439 --> 01:13:41,880
Country, we got that, get
to go. He is like, I'm

1039
01:13:41,880 --> 01:13:45,439
trying to think of a dude who
was like, oh uh. He's like

1040
01:13:45,479 --> 01:13:51,000
the Gus Malzon to gene Chiswicks National
Championships. It's good comparison. Yes,

1041
01:13:51,079 --> 01:13:59,279
who's hitler Andrew Jackson? The electoral
system honestly robbing Andrew Jackson of his rightful

1042
01:13:59,319 --> 01:14:02,159
victory in eighteen twenty four. That
was a stolen election. You want to

1043
01:14:02,159 --> 01:14:05,359
you want to yell about stolen elections? That eighteen twenty four is pretty bad.

1044
01:14:05,399 --> 01:14:11,239
Oh something I forgot to mention,
uh head of the Electoral College that

1045
01:14:11,239 --> 01:14:17,760
that year during the stolen election,
man from Kentucky, Uh Andrew Jackson Battle

1046
01:14:17,760 --> 01:14:25,640
of New Orleans called out Kentuckians for
being pussies. Oh really, and that

1047
01:14:25,800 --> 01:14:30,760
man did not forget. That's really
funny. So a little common connection there.

1048
01:14:30,279 --> 01:14:32,279
Maybe the reason got flipped. I
don't know. Maybe if he didn't

1049
01:14:32,279 --> 01:14:36,199
talk shit about Kentucky doesn't help Quincy
never becomes president. Yeah, it doesn't

1050
01:14:36,199 --> 01:14:41,159
help. But anyway, so I
got today. Thanks for tuning in,

1051
01:14:41,239 --> 01:14:45,119

1054
01:14:54,680 --> 01:14:58,640
we hit one thousand reviews on Apple
we were at nine to thirty I believe.

1055
01:14:58,640 --> 01:15:00,479
So I've got seventy more reviews.
You've gotten like three reviews since the

1056
01:15:00,520 --> 01:15:03,439
last time you asked. I know, so please, I would like to

1057

01:15:06,720 --> 01:15:11,560
leave a five star review. Seriously, seventy five of you leave a review

1059
01:15:11,640 --> 01:15:14,039
right now. Just leave a review. And again. When we hit a

1060
01:15:14,039 --> 01:15:16,720
thousand, I will hit drunk on
the show, like drink, get very

1061
01:15:16,760 --> 01:15:20,520
drunk on the show, and I'll
sleep. When it's not your week,

1062
01:15:20,560 --> 01:15:25,000
I assume it doesn't matter, all
right, it's actually fun, drink it

1063
01:15:25,039 --> 01:15:27,239
is my week. Yeah, it
should be fun. Yeah, or at

1064
01:15:27,279 --> 01:15:29,840
least for the Patreon it will be
my Patreon week. I think that's probably

1065
01:15:29,920 --> 01:15:31,600
a little bit better. Okay,
yeah, yeah, I mean you'll be

1066
01:15:31,680 --> 01:15:34,600
drunk for two different shows. That's
perfect. So I think me actually in

1067
01:15:34,640 --> 01:15:44,640
an episode would be more digestible behind
the paywall anyway, Rob Fox, Jake

1068
01:15:44,720 --> 01:15:46,920
Goldman, I'm damn a jester and
you just gots all served.
