00:00:03,399 --> 00:00:12,000
Welcome to softcore history. What is
up? Welcome back to softcore History.

2
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:17,440
I am your host for the week, Rob Fox, joined as always by

3
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:24,719
a dancing Jake Goldman and Dan Rogester. Happy fourth of July holiday, whatever

4
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:28,559
you wanna fucking call it. This
is this is a getting released on the

5
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:32,159
third. Yeah, so I guess
happy? Uh happy? Just fourth week?

6
00:00:32,759 --> 00:00:36,079
Well though, that's happy. We
won the Battle of Gettysburg. Gettysburg

7
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,399
was won on July third, eighteen
sixty three. Actually, this is the

8
00:00:39,799 --> 00:00:43,200
one hundred and sixtieth anniversary. What
are you doing? This is over Britain.

9
00:00:43,399 --> 00:00:46,200
We're talking about Britain. While we
won, we won a lot of

10
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,960
important stuff. Actually we didn't win
shit on July fourth. July fourth was

11
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,759
like I declare bankruptcy the Michael Scott
name. You know what I mean.

12
00:00:52,799 --> 00:00:55,799
It's like, oh, you declare
dependence that we still had to go actually

13
00:00:55,840 --> 00:01:00,479
fucking get it. Yeah, Jake, i'd like how you uh uvered your

14
00:01:00,479 --> 00:01:04,680
microphone? Oh sorry, I saw
you looking at me, like what the

15
00:01:04,719 --> 00:01:07,879
fuck? You? And Rob just
have like the hardest struggles. I have

16
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:12,000
no mic presence for like where it
should be. All my experience is taking

17
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:17,359
it off a stand and delivering hot
fire jokes. I want to lave the

18
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:22,120
laugh factory. Yeah, I want
to laugh, giggle. Hut. I

19
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:26,879
know this is bantery, but you
have always threatened Dan threatens he with lave,

20
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,560
and you're like, oh no,
don't threaten me with convenience. Well,

21
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,799
his wife did leave a review yesterday, saw that I saw. I

22
00:01:33,879 --> 00:01:36,760
saw too much banter, too much
gabbin. Yeah, we got a one

23
00:01:36,799 --> 00:01:38,599
star. So if you could do
as a favorite and cancel out that one

24
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,680
star with like ten and five star
reviews, that would be great. I

25
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,799
tried to scrub it. What doesn't
work. Yeah, it happens. Apple,

26
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,200
Just to leave five stars and write
a review, we'll read some fun

27
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,079
we I like to wait every couple
of weeks to read them, just so

28
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,200
they stack up. But if you
write a review, we'll give you a

29
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:59,519
shout out. Also on Spotify,
it's just just a five star rating.

30
00:01:59,519 --> 00:02:02,159
There's no comments or whatever. You
can leave a little comment on each episode

31
00:02:02,159 --> 00:02:06,040
that we personally can see but nobody
else can. Right. You love that

32
00:02:06,079 --> 00:02:08,120
there's some devastating things. There's some
terrible thing. I've never seen them,

33
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:13,000
and I want to know. It's
like TFM comments section pretty gnarly, Jake

34
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,319
is ugly, Jake is jew.
There's a lot of Jake Jew. It's

35
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,280
just actually angrier than that, to
be honest, it's and it's that nothing,

36
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,840
but it's just at the show.
And then also we have a Patreon

37
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:28,719
Patreon dot com slash Software History two
extra episodes every week five dollars a month

38
00:02:28,759 --> 00:02:32,360
for an entire back catalog that is
just growing and growing and growing, all

39
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:38,879
evergreen shit, maybe a topical joke
here there. Episode will drop Wednesday,

40
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:43,719
and it's on the year fifteen twenty
one. It's all I'm given away.

41
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,439
And look, if you haven't listened
to last week's episode, you'll hear the

42
00:02:46,439 --> 00:02:49,719
best blues songs you've ever heard in
your life. God, I loved that

43
00:02:49,879 --> 00:02:53,199
shit. That was so much fun. I'm playing that for Katie. A

44
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,759
lot of positive feedback from that from
that one. I just wish. I'm

45
00:02:55,800 --> 00:03:00,639
sad I didn't discover the dirty blues
until I was married, because I would

46
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:05,400
have made shave them dry my first
dance with my mom. Oh my god,

47
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,879
I am exclusively only playing dirty blues
when I have sex now. Yeah,

48
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:14,960
yeah, get her in the mood, was it, Lucille Bogan?

49
00:03:15,159 --> 00:03:16,960
Yeah, yeah, look her up
that and then I think, Harry roy

50
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:23,719
Mark, Sure, oh that's Aces, broy you nailed that was Aces.

51
00:03:23,759 --> 00:03:25,240
That was so good. And then
of course we brought it home with the

52
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:34,800
Cocksucker's Ball. Oh, rotten cocksuckers
ball. If they weren't all dead,

53
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,199
I would pay one. I would
have it put on a softcore history event

54
00:03:38,319 --> 00:03:39,719
and have one of them. Why
don't we put out kind of like our

55
00:03:39,759 --> 00:03:45,439
own Christmas version of that Dirty Blues, a dirty Blues, dirty Blues Christmas

56
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:52,439
album, rotten Saw. Mommy fucking
sent Clause to look out for that in

57
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,319
December. We'll be putting that out, maybe November December. I think,

58
00:03:54,400 --> 00:04:00,639
actually, I think between me and
Rob and you fucking we could totally knock

59
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,960
that out of the park. I
think, yeah, yeah, but I

60
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:08,080
think we should do a calendar as
well, Oh like a fireman calendar.

61
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:12,240
What if we did an advent calendar? Advant coundar be dope, like little

62
00:04:12,319 --> 00:04:16,040
just things, stupid things, Well, adv't calendar with history facts. Actually,

63
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,879
it would be fun to source like
someone that could make a holy prepos,

64
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:26,480
a holy foreskin basically like just little
twenty five four skins. Yeah,

65
00:04:26,759 --> 00:04:31,839
no, just like little tiny trinkets
from our cannon. Basically that makes sense,

66
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:36,560
like a prepis and like a little
stone dick and a little stone dick

67
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:41,000
from Tarahun. We can do that. But I'm talking a shirtless for a

68
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,600
twenty twenty four calendar. I could
get just take your shirt off. If

69
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,120
you want people to see you with
your shirt off, you can take it

70
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,560
off. You're on video right Chester
on Instagram. Dan just wants me to

71
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:55,839
get hot too, so we can
do we just pretty much. Um.

72
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,759
But yeah, so let's get into
this week's episode. Obviously, like I

73
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:04,360
said that, it's July third.
American Independence is celebrated on July fourth.

74
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:09,000
This week is presumably if you're listening
this episode, you were either you're probably

75
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:14,240
on the way to or from a
Independence Day party. We're recovering were recovery.

76
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:15,680
It could be the fifth, could
be the third, could be the

77
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,920
fourth. Maybe it's the morning.
I'm actually analytics this week. Let's see

78
00:05:19,959 --> 00:05:25,199
how many people are listening after the
fact. I agreed, Um, But

79
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,759
so today, obviously we're gonna get
a little topical. We're gonna talk about

80
00:05:29,519 --> 00:05:31,680
the American Revolution and what caused it. You guys know what caused the American

81
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:39,839
revolution um taxes T T T taxes, I think just bad tea bad T.

82
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,839
Yes, that's that's low T low
low tea, cause I think T

83
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,800
was actually be high tea, well
low TI on the Brits high te taxes.

84
00:05:49,079 --> 00:05:54,279
Yeah, it's yes, that's we
we solved it um. From my

85
00:05:54,360 --> 00:06:00,160
understanding too, it was mostly peaceful
riot. It was totally that was just

86
00:06:00,199 --> 00:06:02,399
people demonstrating. Look, I've said
it before and I'll say it again.

87
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:08,680
The Boston massacre was a justified police
shooting. Man, you're such a bootlicker,

88
00:06:08,879 --> 00:06:11,600
such a boot such a fucking boot
liquor. I don't care as it

89
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,759
justified shooting. Listen, I'm gonna
try to drink at some of the same

90
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,639
taverns this week as one. Samuel
Adams, you're me in New York,

91
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,079
right, I'll be in New York, but I'm also I'll be in Philly

92
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:24,279
for a night. So okay,
there's a couple of bars in like Center

93
00:06:24,319 --> 00:06:27,879
City that are literally from the seventeen
hundreds. Can you get close enough to

94
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,000
the Liberty Bell to do a funnel
off of it? I've tried. You

95
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,240
can do it at night, yeah, when like nobody's nobody's watching that makes

96
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:40,839
sense fair enough. Uh So,
the real answer to what caused the American

97
00:06:40,879 --> 00:06:45,319
Revolution is a whole bunch of shit, just a whole Wow, it was

98
00:06:45,319 --> 00:06:48,000
a real, it was real melting
pot of situations kind of broad strokes.

99
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,279
You're paining. Yeah, cool,
So you're gonna talk about everything, huh

100
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:57,879
No, all at once. This
one part talk about two lesser known but

101
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:03,639
maybe pretty huge reason for the American
Revolution. One of them probably so people

102
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,759
say this all the time. They're
like, I didn't learn that in school.

103
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,399
What have you learned that in school? The total total race, right?

104
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,120
Or to learn that in school?
Like, well, here's something you

105
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,839
can learn a lot of people don't
know this. Betsy Ross was more of

106
00:07:15,879 --> 00:07:20,240
a hell of of trolly situation.
The kidnapped her, Yeah, forced her

107
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:26,079
to sew British flex. H listen
here, Bets, you're gonna sew until

108
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,920
your fingers you've pulled sewing duty.
I'm more of a I'm more of a

109
00:07:29,959 --> 00:07:32,079
Molly Pitcher guy personally. Yeah,
you know, we don't know who that.

110
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:39,279
We for sure don't know who who
Molly Pitcher. Yeah, of course

111
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,800
we don't. Do you know who
you're talking to? Have you? I

112
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,839
can barely form sentences, dude,
like, come on, man, it's

113
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:47,800
uh, here's the buff dude.
We're there. The other dude, I

114
00:07:47,839 --> 00:07:51,279
have to paint as a job.
I'm literally people in our discord have been

115
00:07:51,319 --> 00:07:55,639
like, anytime a conspiracy topic comes
up there, that's for Jake. That's

116
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,839
non mystery, that's for him.
Like things that aren't true, things that

117
00:07:59,839 --> 00:08:05,079
are widely speculated. A crazy person
a morons me always recommend me dance big

118
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:09,839
bug of freaks. She basically I'm
gonna I would I'm gonna butcher it if

119
00:08:09,839 --> 00:08:13,079
I get into more details than this, But she basically her husband went down

120
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,800
during a battle, so she stepped
up and started manning the cannon that he

121
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,480
was. Oh, she's the cannon
lady. Yeah, I thought that was

122
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:24,560
Is that the lady that's downtown Now
she was cannon or she operated a cannon,

123
00:08:24,759 --> 00:08:28,639
operated a cannon. Briefly she became
a cannon. I don't believe.

124
00:08:28,639 --> 00:08:31,960
I do not think that that is
the same woman next to a cannon in

125
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,759
downtown Austin. I know define the
Texas Revolution. I think I think when

126
00:08:35,759 --> 00:08:39,559
you get canonized as a saint,
though, they should fire you out of

127
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,080
a cannon. That's true that's fact. They do. Also do we should

128
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,759
do a prequel to Transformers where it's
old tech, where it's like you transformed

129
00:08:46,799 --> 00:08:52,240
into a fucking carriage bug. Transformers
like just missed out on looking spectacular.

130
00:08:52,399 --> 00:08:56,320
Oh yeah, because they the early
movies with shol Buff came out like right

131
00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:01,120
before CGI really hit its peak,
and it's stride. There's some really bad

132
00:09:01,159 --> 00:09:07,519
CGI and Transformers is there. It's
bad. I've tried man at the time,

133
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:09,840
But if it was like five six
years later when they started, it

134
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:16,519
would look much much more crisp.
Still making them, they are all always

135
00:09:16,519 --> 00:09:20,519
still possibility. Um now, Megan
Fox though, No, but uh yeah,

136
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:24,200
So we're gonna talk about two lesser
known reasons the revolution started. But

137
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:28,000
again I think both of them play
outsize roles, but we never learned about

138
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,600
them. What I was gonna say
it was that is that it's mostly bullshit.

139
00:09:31,639 --> 00:09:33,039
When you're like, oh, you
know, I didn't learn that in

140
00:09:33,039 --> 00:09:35,639
school, it's like, oh,
really, you you you have a perfect

141
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:39,679
memory of what someone told you thirty
years ago. Seriously, fucking that's worse

142
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,960
than the Mandela effect. Bullshit.
I'm not wrong. It's a different universe.

143
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,679
It's the same thing as like they're
not covering this, and they show

144
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,519
you a link from a news site. It's like, well, but I've

145
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,960
thought about this. I kind of
wish I could go to school now,

146
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:54,360
Oh, me too, you'd be
easier. No, I would actually just

147
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,799
want to go to class. I
want I want to learn some things.

148
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,519
You'd be so bored. It's why
we do this podcast so I can learn.

149
00:10:00,159 --> 00:10:03,840
This is honestly the most learning I
do. JK for real, that's

150
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:07,519
it probably is for me. But
no, you should work as a child

151
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:13,039
in the mines. They yearn for
the mines. They do yearn kind of

152
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,399
like I'm sorry, Minecraft, best
selling video game of all time, one

153
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,240
of the best selling video games of
all time. Save up some money in

154
00:10:18,279 --> 00:10:22,159
your teenage years and your twenties,
and then when you hit your thirties you

155
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:26,000
go back to school. You know
who actually advocates for that life, Tom

156
00:10:26,039 --> 00:10:31,279
Cruise. He thinks you should be
retired as a as a young person and

157
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:35,200
like not have to work until you're
like thirty five. Oh, I think

158
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:39,720
you should work until you're thirty five, go to school, and then you

159
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,960
would never do anything. You wouldn't
leave retirement. You'd do anything you could

160
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:48,120
to stay there as someone who truly
enjoys doing nothing. I love doing nothing.

161
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:52,039
There's nothing. If you do what
you love, you'll never work a

162
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,159
day in your life. Goddamn right. I love doing nothing. Yeah,

163
00:10:54,279 --> 00:10:58,120
so spot on it. Never work
a day and your life cool because I

164
00:10:58,159 --> 00:11:01,120
don't like working. Yeah, so
I don't want to. Yeah, nobody

165
00:11:01,159 --> 00:11:03,000
wants to work, even this,
Like writing this episode, it's you don't

166
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,759
have a ton of fun writing?
Yeah, sometimes you do, but and

167
00:11:07,039 --> 00:11:09,480
very much enjoy my free week.
It's the best, and I enjoy sharing.

168
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,480
The enjoyment is sharing it with you
too, writing the episode the friends

169
00:11:13,519 --> 00:11:18,840
we make along the way. So
the first of the two things we're gonna

170
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:20,799
talk about today, tell me if
you heard about this one? Here about

171
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:26,559
this, here about this. Remember
it's called the Hutchins, Hutcheson, Hutchison

172
00:11:26,759 --> 00:11:28,639
letter affairs. There's letters affairs.
That's not a hard name to say.

173
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:35,120
But Hutchinson or Hutchins, Hutchison,
the Hutchinson letters affair. Have you heard

174
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:39,240
about this one? You know what
I heard about it? Um this Hamilton

175
00:11:39,279 --> 00:11:43,559
affair? No, No, he
did not. Um. Thomas Hutchinson was

176
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:50,399
Lieutenant governor of Massachusetts Colony and then
governor from Leujenet governor up until seventeen seventy

177
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,639
seventeen seventy one, and then was
governors from seventy one to seventy three.

178
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:58,919
Uh As you can imagine, this
was a pretty pretty hot time. He

179
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,279
took off as a year after the
Boston Tea Party. I mean he was

180
00:12:01,279 --> 00:12:03,919
already in office for the Boston Tea
Party as Lieutenant governor, but then became

181
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:11,480
governor right after it. The letters
in question were written between himself and his

182
00:12:11,519 --> 00:12:16,600
Colonial secretary Andrew Oliver and Thomas Whateley, who was in London as the assistant

183
00:12:16,639 --> 00:12:22,360
to the British Prime Minister George Grenville. They were basically about the colonists protests

184
00:12:22,399 --> 00:12:26,879
against the Townsend Acts and how the
Crown and Britain should respond and how just

185
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:31,080
the colonists should be dealt with in
general. A lot of what they were

186
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,440
saying is just like a lot of
what the letters were saying. We're just

187
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:37,039
like and I don't even think they're
wrong, They're just like, God,

188
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:43,440
these fucking massholes are the worst.
I feel like they should not govern themselves

189
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,159
like we that should be all on
the Crown and parliamentary. So like these

190
00:12:46,159 --> 00:12:48,879
people are fucking an. I tend
to agree right now, you know,

191
00:12:50,039 --> 00:12:54,960
to be fair salient points. Yeah, and but it was all kind of

192
00:12:54,960 --> 00:13:00,879
like it was like a text threat. You know, it's not serious.

193
00:13:01,399 --> 00:13:03,879
I mean, it was what they
believed or maybe we really had a thought.

194
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,399
You know, they're they were expressing
thoughts, but they weren't like,

195
00:13:05,879 --> 00:13:09,279
this is the plan, yeah,
lest we do this. They weren't talking

196
00:13:09,279 --> 00:13:13,799
about how to execute it. They
were just like riffing exactly literally, yes,

197
00:13:13,879 --> 00:13:18,279
yeah, um so he all these
letters were written when he was lieutenant

198
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:24,200
governor UM, and he actually became
governor after the previous governor, Francis Bernard,

199
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:30,840
had his own letters leaked by radical
opposition parties. They'd always be your

200
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,720
own tweets, never write it down. Yeah, they'll find the tweets.

201
00:13:33,759 --> 00:13:37,960
They'll always findet. Have we dropped
that episode yet on the Patreon? Look

202
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,360
at my tweets the first episode?
Yeah, some spare bedroom dropping that on

203
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:46,720
the Patreon. Two episodes out right
now. So even though Hutchison replaced the

204
00:13:46,759 --> 00:13:56,960
governor UM, the radical masshole politicians
and legislators whatever Assembly members fucking hated Hutchison

205
00:13:56,039 --> 00:14:00,000
too, same administration, they've hated
him just as much as they hate Bernard.

206
00:14:00,519 --> 00:14:05,639
So over the course of Hutcheson's Hutchinson's
tenure, he and the just say

207
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,639
big age because you're having a hard
time say in that name now, Hutch,

208
00:14:07,799 --> 00:14:11,759
I will say, over the course
of Hutch's tenure, uh, he

209
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:16,240
and the mass Holes debated ends endlessly. U in the form of writing.

210
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:20,120
So I think there's a lot of
published letters and stuff like that, a

211
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:24,720
lot of letter duels back in this
time. Oh yeah, the dueling op

212
00:14:24,879 --> 00:14:30,279
eds really yeah, I mean love
that though, battle rappers, Yeah yeah,

213
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:37,840
writing notes pretty much what's going up
and umblished a bit, you fat

214
00:14:37,919 --> 00:14:43,519
motherfucker, the papers. Everything.
It was about the crown and the role

215
00:14:43,559 --> 00:14:46,679
of the executive versus the role of
the Assembly. Should should this, how

216
00:14:46,759 --> 00:14:54,320
much say should parliament and um the
king have and how Massachusetts governed themselves,

217
00:14:54,679 --> 00:15:00,000
blah blah blah. At one point, shock of all shocks, the mass

218
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:09,080
Holes said something untoward about Governor hutch
something mean something, They cross the line

219
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:13,480
what they do I don't know.
They didn't say, but oh it's it's

220
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:18,720
not known. Yeah, like your
wife's a fucking donko, fucking fire fight

221
00:15:18,799 --> 00:15:24,519
is getting pushed it really Look,
I love I love this country, and

222
00:15:24,639 --> 00:15:30,120
I'm an American through and three.
But you do sometimes have to wonder if

223
00:15:30,159 --> 00:15:33,480
we were right to fuck, like
would you now follow a fiery person from

224
00:15:33,519 --> 00:15:37,159
Massachusetts? Would I follow Matt Damon
into the line of fire? And the

225
00:15:37,159 --> 00:15:39,759
answer is yes, yeah, Damon
and Affleck I would for sure, So

226
00:15:39,799 --> 00:15:45,279
I guess fair enough, Walburg no
fucking chance. I don't know. Walburg

227
00:15:45,279 --> 00:15:48,320
could probably talk me into it,
Yeah he could. Come on, come

228
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,759
on, go on, man,
or I'll just beat my ass. You

229
00:15:50,799 --> 00:15:54,000
want to end up like that Viennamese
guy. Huh, come on, pal,

230
00:15:54,159 --> 00:15:56,440
you want me to tell you mom
how I made you lose your vision?

231
00:15:56,799 --> 00:16:00,799
Huh? Yeah, yeah, I'd
follow him. I'm the guy that

232
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:07,320
does his job. You must be
the other fucking guy. Um. So

233
00:16:10,039 --> 00:16:14,039
for the rest of the episode,
lord uh Lord Dartmouth, you know,

234
00:16:14,279 --> 00:16:21,039
read what the massholes wrote, and
he beseeched Massachusetts's agent in London, the

235
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,080
person kind of representing them in London. They weren't officially represented, obviously,

236
00:16:23,159 --> 00:16:26,879
no taxation without representation, but their
agent in London he was. He went

237
00:16:26,919 --> 00:16:30,320
up to him and went to him
and was like, tell them to retract

238
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:37,840
this. This is too fucking far. These people are fucking deranged. That

239
00:16:37,039 --> 00:16:44,039
agent was Benjamin Franklin. Oh,
Benny living in London at the time,

240
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:48,039
fucking his way through London. I'm
guessing, Oh, certainly European. You

241
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:52,000
recall, I think his son has
already died because his wife wouldn't vaccinate him.

242
00:16:52,039 --> 00:16:55,360
So he just wants to be away
from his wife as much as possible.

243
00:16:55,639 --> 00:17:03,000
Understood, Yeah, um, vaccinate
for smallpox and um, I would

244
00:17:03,039 --> 00:17:04,839
say what you want about vaccines.
And we have a lot of Robert Kennedy

245
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,839
supporters in the audience. Maybe I
don't know. I made that up.

246
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,440
Um. I just wish he could
bench more than one fifteen on englid And

247
00:17:11,599 --> 00:17:14,720
someone sent me that. I was
like, that's not even impressive. I

248
00:17:14,759 --> 00:17:17,680
don't care how he's seventy. I
can get that. No, it's has

249
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:21,079
nothing to do with age. It's
how he looks. He should be pushing

250
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,200
more weight than that. But I
see guys like that all the time at

251
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,279
the gym. It's where they're just
so much bigger than me. I'm but

252
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:30,440
they're they're benching or squatting half what
I do. That's the annoying thing.

253
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,680
It's like you could be like the
most strong person but if you're not getting

254
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:37,920
that like TRT, it's just not
like not cheating, you're not trying.

255
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:38,960
Yeah, you don't got that,
Hollywood bod. I don't care. I

256
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:44,599
guess Yeah, I'd rather throw the
weight around. No, I need to

257
00:17:44,599 --> 00:17:48,319
get on something. Yeah, if
you got some plugs, people, let

258
00:17:48,319 --> 00:17:51,000
me know. If you got a
trend guy, hit up, Dan jest.

259
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:52,279
I don't know if I want to
be trend trends more of like actually

260
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:56,839
just test really teen test. It
kind of is they're so like juicy and

261
00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:00,880
then you know, yeah, they
don't look on me that. Yeah,

262
00:18:00,039 --> 00:18:03,440
let's just go to the doctor.
You could. That's the best way you

263
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,319
get real tests. And I don't
have low tea because you don't need to.

264
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:10,440
That's the fun part. It's not
for fixing a problem. No,

265
00:18:10,559 --> 00:18:12,319
the problem is that you don't look
shredded enough, and they're fixing that,

266
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,480
you know, would really be your
own boys. Yeah, oh no,

267
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:18,680
no, I'm not saying that.
I'm not saying sounds like you're saying.

268
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,200
Dan. All I'm saying is you
gotta slam a big mac right before you

269
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,559
go to the TRT clinic, right
maybe an hour before it's gonna slam your

270
00:18:25,559 --> 00:18:29,160
test. Now eat some microplastics.
Thanks. Yeah, yeah, I think

271
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:33,119
you look great. I think you're
a handsome boy. Grasses, no mistad

272
00:18:33,759 --> 00:18:40,279
um. So at this point,
after Franklin was approached by Lord Dartmouth,

273
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:44,079
Thomas Waiteley, the man who their
letters had been written to, was dead,

274
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:49,759
and Benjamin Franklin had come into possession
of about twenty of these things.

275
00:18:49,799 --> 00:18:55,200
I thought, you're just gonna say
calm everywhere. Yeah, Benjamin Franklin was

276
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:59,839
more jes than man, probably as
soon as he hit puberty. Oh,

277
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,640
I mean he got as he got
a prosto pregnant. Remember was that a

278
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:08,640
Patroon episode. Yes, we did
a whole thing on Franklin's dick. Yeah

279
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:12,000
it was. It was a good
episode. So Franklin was in possession about

280
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:18,039
twenty letters written between Weightly Hutchinson,
hutch and Oliver Um. So naturally,

281
00:19:18,039 --> 00:19:23,480
ben Franklin read this guy's mail federal
crime not yet. Yeah, it isn't

282
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:29,079
even a federal government. They're no
fed. And he realized that they were

283
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,720
about, you know, how the
colonists felt and how to deal with them

284
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:34,279
and all this stuff. And Franklin
was like, hey, this is bullshit.

285
00:19:34,799 --> 00:19:37,039
What they're saying like, hey,
he was like, this is bullshit.

286
00:19:37,079 --> 00:19:44,440
What they believe be The things they're
saying about the colonists aren't even true.

287
00:19:45,839 --> 00:19:48,400
Yeah, like, hey, they're
getting the situation totally wrong. Hey,

288
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:55,799
um that they're wrong about what the
massholes are upset about, so and

289
00:19:55,799 --> 00:19:59,519
and and and because of all this, like and because of the way they're

290
00:19:59,599 --> 00:20:04,480
dealing with the Massachusetts colony. The
Massachusetts colony is getting mad at the monarchy

291
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:11,279
in Parliament. Now. At this
point, Benjamin Franklin was still kind of

292
00:20:11,279 --> 00:20:15,440
politically neutral, but was essentially like
loyal to the crown. He thought independence

293
00:20:15,519 --> 00:20:18,240
was not a great idea, Like
they were already a part of the most

294
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:22,680
powerful country on earth, Why fuck
that up? And the freest country on

295
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:26,119
earth at the time, really at
least for white men and honestly probably women

296
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:30,160
to white women too, all things
considered, of course. Yeah, yeah,

297
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,880
yeah, freeest, Yes, freest. That's a good relative. Yeah,

298
00:20:34,599 --> 00:20:37,319
I mean it was. It was
really like you had rights there that

299
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:42,039
you just didn't exist the WII.
Yeah, and so he was like,

300
00:20:42,079 --> 00:20:45,720
why fucked us up? We have
a good thing going and that all that

301
00:20:45,799 --> 00:20:49,119
was a huge concern of a lot
of colonists is just is like, Okay,

302
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:56,200
if we leave the umbrella of uh
Britain, we open ourselves up to

303
00:20:56,359 --> 00:21:02,519
potentially coming under more oppressive regimes like
France or Spain or who the fuck knows.

304
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:03,759
Yeah, yeah, I kind of
feel it. It's like we were

305
00:21:03,799 --> 00:21:07,160
like this teenager and like the parents
were like, you can live in the

306
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:08,359
poolhouse if you want. We're like, we're gonna live in the poolhouse.

307
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,880
We're gonna do things our way a
little bit, but still in their property.

308
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,200
Yeah, we're still on your property. But you know what, they're

309
00:21:15,279 --> 00:21:17,359
letting me slide with a lot of
stuff. I'm getting to kind of be

310
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,440
responsible, and I understand like if
we moved to an apartment or landlord's gonna

311
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,440
be a dick. Landlords me be
a dick. You gotta pay rent,

312
00:21:22,519 --> 00:21:23,799
Yeah, you gotta pay rent.
Like we're kind of chilling right now.

313
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:29,160
Poolhouse isn't too bad. Yeah,
exactly. That's exactly what Ben Franklin thought,

314
00:21:29,519 --> 00:21:33,960
as far as I know. So
he thought, Okay, here's what

315
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:41,000
I'm gonna do. I'm gonna send
these letters to the Massachusetts Assembly to select

316
00:21:41,039 --> 00:21:48,680
people in the Massachusetts Assembly so that
they understand that all the tension and bullshit.

317
00:21:48,759 --> 00:21:52,240
That's happening is not because of England, not because of Britain and the

318
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:56,960
King and the Parliament, but it's
because of their shitty governor and the shitty

319
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,440
lieutenant governor and so on and so
forth. So they'll erect their anger appropriately

320
00:22:00,799 --> 00:22:06,680
and they'll replace their local executive and
not get crazy and want to leave the

321
00:22:06,759 --> 00:22:10,319
best country on earth at the time. Right. Sure doesn't sound like it

322
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:15,920
probably happened. What doesn't sound like
they followed what Ben was under the belief

323
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:21,000
what happened, Well, they listened
to him for a little bit, so

324
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,480
he sent the letters. Seems like
they He sent the letters and somebody in

325
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:27,200
Boston just pissed all over him.
Yeah, they did their Boston thing.

326
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,119
He sent the letters to Thomas Cushing, he was the speaker of the Massachusets

327
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:34,559
Assembly in December seventeen seventy two.
He told Cushing not to publish the letters

328
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:41,240
or even to share them widely.
So what disaster should show them to a

329
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:48,200
select few people who can then reassure
everyone else in the Assembly and maybe in

330
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:55,480
the public that Britain's chill and Hutchinson
is the asshole. Have a fall guy

331
00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:03,240
exactly. Yeah, Unfortunately, it
is. One of the people who got

332
00:23:03,279 --> 00:23:10,079
access to these letters was the man
was Samuel Adams. Oh your boy,

333
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:17,680
Sammy, that's all I got.
Wicked hot core, the biggest masshole of

334
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:21,720
all time. I'm actually I am
of the opinion that if he were alive

335
00:23:21,759 --> 00:23:26,599
today, everyone would fucking hate him. Nah good beer, nahas. I

336
00:23:26,599 --> 00:23:29,759
actually did drink a six pack of
blaston Laga last night. I don't I

337
00:23:30,039 --> 00:23:32,720
remember the last time I had a
Sam Adams. It was really good.

338
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:34,359
Actually, I was surprised by how
much I enjoyed it. I don't remember

339
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,400
when he had a Laga. I'd
seriously, I don't know if I've ever

340
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:41,319
had a Sam Adams. To be
honest with you, it's a fine micro

341
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:47,240
Macrobrew Sacro micro, but more American
Blue Moon, like Blue Moon sucks.

342
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:51,880
Blue Moon's trash um. But it's
just like where are what are you?

343
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:56,240
Sam Adams logger, Boston logger,
what aren't you? I here's my opinion

344
00:23:56,279 --> 00:24:00,960
on it is it is a more
refined year then you will get from even

345
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,599
a macrobrew catalog for the most part, even if you go like michelob or

346
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:08,880
something like that. But it's still
really inoffensive. Oh, it's a successible

347
00:24:10,039 --> 00:24:11,480
but good, Yeah, yeah,
yeah, I think good. I think

348
00:24:11,519 --> 00:24:19,079
it's it's like the neutral beer and
it's a laga. Nobody's mad at a

349
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:25,640
laga. Nah. So Sam Adams
is a fucking lunatic now and forever.

350
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:26,519
I mean, like, look,
he helped the country anything, but like,

351
00:24:26,599 --> 00:24:30,160
god damn, Like watch them watch
the show John Adams or the miniseries

352
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,079
John Adams. Sam Adams only in
like the first two episodes, but he

353
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:38,119
is a fucking asshole. Even the
other Bostonians are like, like John Adams

354
00:24:38,279 --> 00:24:41,640
is like, God, fucking damn
it, you were the worst. I

355
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:45,119
mean, Sam Adams is the one
that's in there that's like, hang the

356
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,599
British soldiers. I don't even get
even get I'm sorry. Do you think

357
00:24:47,759 --> 00:24:51,440
rational reasonable people are the ones that
start revolutions? They sure aren't. No,

358
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:53,599
typically not. They sure aren't,
even if they call themselves. I

359
00:24:53,759 --> 00:24:56,480
posted that meme the other day.
The people who did all the killing and

360
00:24:56,519 --> 00:24:59,599
the reign of terror and the French
Revolution, you know what, they were

361
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:04,680
called the nice guys kind of the
Committee of Public Safety. They cut off

362
00:25:04,759 --> 00:25:10,200
thousands of people's heads. They were
the CPS keeping the public safe. Yea

363
00:25:11,519 --> 00:25:17,400
god, damn um so. Adams
did, though, follow Franklin's request to

364
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:23,799
not publish them or copy them or
whatever, but just barely, just barely,

365
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,839
you know what I mean. It's
like if someone's like, if you're

366
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,000
like, don't touch me, and
someone puts their face an inch away from

367
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:30,039
you, he's like, I'm not
touching you. I'm not touching you.

368
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:36,200
I'm not touching you. It's childish. Yeah, that's what Sam Adams did.

369
00:25:36,839 --> 00:25:41,720
He immediately told fucking everyone in the
Assembly, everyone everywhere, how about

370
00:25:41,759 --> 00:25:48,279
how they had damning letters, just
fucking fucked up letters from the governor,

371
00:25:48,599 --> 00:25:52,240
all kinds of fucked up shit,
the worst ship you could imagine. Roll.

372
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:56,880
You've seen these ladders there night man. You wouldn't fuck it believe these

373
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:04,319
ladders bra Yeah. And he would
leak little bits of them like sentence you

374
00:26:06,799 --> 00:26:11,480
shave him, clips y tweets man, Yeah, yeah, all that.

375
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:15,400
He's like kind of like the viral
like tweet guy where it's like can you

376
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,759
believe he said this? And it's
like clip of five seconds and it's like

377
00:26:18,799 --> 00:26:21,759
you don't have the full can you
believe? Rosanne Bars said kill all the

378
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:26,000
Jews? Did she say that?
It was sarcasm. She is Jewish,

379
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,519
I thought so, and I was
like, I don't think she meant that.

380
00:26:30,279 --> 00:26:32,599
Yeah, now, because she was
like, oh, because we controlled

381
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:36,039
the media, they took they took
that clip on THEO van and everyone's just

382
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:40,680
like, look, she wants to
kill all the Jews. Yeah, here's

383
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:44,799
the thing. We're all out for
each other, all out for herselves.

384
00:26:44,839 --> 00:26:49,079
Anyway, there can only be one. We're like, we're like highlanders.

385
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,359
You only want there to be one
left. That's right, And so far

386
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:56,039
I'm safe. Here do I get
to be in this contest? You don't

387
00:26:56,079 --> 00:27:00,799
want to fight this fight? Okay, Yeah, you'd be you'd actually be

388
00:27:00,839 --> 00:27:06,400
too good at it. It's a
meek fight. It's not exactly pounds for

389
00:27:06,519 --> 00:27:08,039
pounds in the cage. Man.
Also like, I know you're Irish,

390
00:27:08,079 --> 00:27:14,720
but you look like you marched through
Paris in nineteen forty. I don't think

391
00:27:14,759 --> 00:27:17,960
so, man, I do.
It's my Portuguese skin. Oh my god,

392
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:23,400
he's very Iberian, I guess,
man, Yeah, I don't fucking

393
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:30,640
know. Hutchinson meanwhile, like he
knew that Adams was saying all this stuff,

394
00:27:30,079 --> 00:27:33,680
and he knew what he wrote in
the letters, and he was like,

395
00:27:33,319 --> 00:27:37,960
what are you talking about. It's
like everything everything that is in those

396
00:27:38,079 --> 00:27:41,519
letters, I have said it publicly, which he had. He had basically

397
00:27:42,079 --> 00:27:45,359
written everything that was in the letters, like he had probably like what was

398
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:49,400
in the letters was probably a less
eloquent, articulate version of what he believed.

399
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,200
But it was like he's like,
I've said all of this, like

400
00:27:52,279 --> 00:27:56,960
I've represented that view here, that
zented that view here, and and like

401
00:27:57,279 --> 00:28:00,440
what the fuck are you talking trying
to get me on things? I am

402
00:28:00,599 --> 00:28:06,759
very open, like this isn't a
gotcha you fucking dick. Yeah. Like

403
00:28:06,839 --> 00:28:10,119
when they tried to blackmail I think
it was like the president of the Philippines,

404
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:11,880
I want to say, and they're
like, we have you having sex

405
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:15,839
on tape with a whore And he's
like, dude, can I get copies?

406
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:18,119
I send it to my friends.
Someone tried to do that to yarm

407
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:22,960
Or Yager hockey player. He released
it. They're like sent him the video

408
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:26,039
and they were like, I I
filmed it you, but need to give

409
00:28:26,039 --> 00:28:27,880
me like one hundred thousand dollars and
he was just like and posted it.

410
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:30,880
Yeah, No, that's the best, Like, oh, you want to

411
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:34,880
watch me bang, especially if a
good performance? Yeah, let let the

412
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,960
world see that. Yeah, like
obviously, if you're like groveling like a

413
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:42,039
little piggy and you come in six
seconds a little bottom pig. Yeah,

414
00:28:42,039 --> 00:28:45,799
if you're a little pig bottom,
I'm sorry picked him and I hate that.

415
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:53,279
But yeah, if you're pig bottom
squealing with joy um. But Cushing

416
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:57,640
and Adam and Adams a fucking psycho. But Cushing and Adams and John Adams

417
00:28:57,759 --> 00:29:03,799
and other more reasonable people, we're
also alarmed at what they read and wanted

418
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:07,680
to publish them. And they asked, They asked Franklin, They're like,

419
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:11,119
are you sure, man, Like
this is pretty wild? Can we we

420
00:29:11,319 --> 00:29:17,160
think we should publish this? Do
you have the emails? Now? They

421
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,240
burned, they bleached the server or
whatever the fuck damn it. Yeah,

422
00:29:21,079 --> 00:29:29,039
And Franklin was like, no,
don't do that. But eventually John Adams

423
00:29:30,319 --> 00:29:34,359
published the letters in the Boston Gazette
in seventeen seventy three. So you do

424
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:38,119
have the emails. Yeah, they
put the emails out there. They put

425
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:45,799
the emails in the Boston Gazette.
It caused a political fucking firestorm in Massachusetts.

426
00:29:45,839 --> 00:29:48,960
People went they lost their fucking minds. Now, yeah, all kinds

427
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,839
of shit and they burned Hutchinson and
fig and all that shit. I mean,

428
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:57,480
they fucking went nuts. And in
England the Parliament and the king and

429
00:29:57,559 --> 00:30:02,519
we're like, what the oh,
by the way, the letters were essentially

430
00:30:02,519 --> 00:30:04,200
about I already said that, right. They're like, but maybe these people

431
00:30:04,279 --> 00:30:07,200
need less control over them. So
yeah, it's like, maybe make the

432
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:12,799
executive branch stronger, daddy, Yeah, maybe have the parliament a point a

433
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:18,599
council because these people from Massachusetts are
fucking insane. Um anyway, people,

434
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,319
so people in England and the Parliament
in the Crown were like, dude,

435
00:30:21,359 --> 00:30:26,200
what the fuck people are insane?
Maybe they do need less freedom Jesus Christ.

436
00:30:26,599 --> 00:30:30,000
Yeah. Um, that's that's how
you know you're doing it right.

437
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:33,920
By the way, how you know
you're living free when someone's like, good

438
00:30:34,079 --> 00:30:38,519
God, someone needs to control you
externally, Like, yeah, that's when

439
00:30:38,519 --> 00:30:44,400
you're crushing. That's the Northeast,
baby, you are all we need sinful,

440
00:30:44,559 --> 00:30:48,440
We need direction, you do we
do? Yeah? I think we

441
00:30:48,559 --> 00:30:51,880
put our best foot forward when somebody
tells us where it's just building things towards

442
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:56,279
the sky because you want to see
how high they can get. I mean,

443
00:30:56,359 --> 00:31:03,559
I guess if today you told old
me Hey, starting something. It's

444
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:08,279
big. A guy from Philly,
a guy from Boston, and a guy

445
00:31:08,359 --> 00:31:12,880
from rural Virginia and they're all starting
the ship up. Will win. I'd

446
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:18,039
be like, new big, Now, what do you make one hundred and

447
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:23,000
six percent alcohol? What happened?
How do you make it more? This

448
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:27,119
is like lacrosse league? What is
going on? He combined crack meth and

449
00:31:27,279 --> 00:31:34,079
lacrosse. Yeah, are done?
Like no, thank you? Um.

450
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,119
This was a huge scandal in England
too, by the way, humongous fucking

451
00:31:38,119 --> 00:31:42,720
scandal, because the letters were to
the prime ministers like assistant or whatever or

452
00:31:42,799 --> 00:31:45,759
whatever he was. One of the
biggest questions in England was, of course,

453
00:31:45,799 --> 00:31:51,559
who leaked the letters, And no
one other than the select few massholes

454
00:31:52,279 --> 00:31:56,279
knew it was Ben Franklin. Very
few people knew it was Ben Franklin.

455
00:31:56,519 --> 00:32:00,160
So the leaker was a huge question
mark. Um, this is like a

456
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:01,640
wiki leaks type of thing. Well, that would have been Franklin leaked his

457
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:07,240
own paper leaked what leaked? Did
himself? He did? Oh, he

458
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,720
was the one that leaked it to
the Massachusetts Oh oh, I'm sorry,

459
00:32:10,799 --> 00:32:15,680
I thought, never mind proceed Oh
well, it is a mystery. We

460
00:32:15,799 --> 00:32:17,960
never found out who gave Franklin the
letters. We have still not found out

461
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:23,880
who who gave Franklin the letters.
Yeah, but the leaker was Ben Franklin,

462
00:32:24,359 --> 00:32:28,680
so everyone want to know. It
was like I said, Weitly was

463
00:32:28,799 --> 00:32:31,880
dead at this point. So it
is a like a much ado about nothing

464
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:37,680
at this point to you really like
the guy's already dead Weightly's dead. But

465
00:32:37,839 --> 00:32:42,079
the who whole thing is now Massachusetts
wants to suceed more than ever. They're

466
00:32:42,079 --> 00:32:45,240
just chirping the governor. Yeah,
because it's like it's honestly just like a

467
00:32:45,319 --> 00:32:47,839
pot stir, you know, it's
just like fuck. But now keep in

468
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:53,200
mind the the Boston massacre has already
happened, all the all the first round

469
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:57,400
of taxation like the Stamp Act and
everything like that, that's already in place.

470
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:00,440
These people are already fucking furious.
Okay, this count helps. I

471
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:02,319
was actually kind of losing the thread
for a minute. Yeah, so we're

472
00:33:02,359 --> 00:33:07,240
about halfway. We're about halfway through
the list of things that caused the American

473
00:33:07,319 --> 00:33:12,960
Revolution that you read about in your
history text book. Letters to letters,

474
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,000
what letters? What he's talking about? The letters? Back to the letters

475
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:22,400
were just bullet points right here,
just quick synopsis. Just what caused the

476
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:28,400
war leader in the clubhouse right now? Letters? Yeah, I mean this

477
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,519
was if it wasn't the straw that
broke the camel's back, it was goddamn

478
00:33:31,559 --> 00:33:34,680
close to you. But it coused
something even more important that we'll get that

479
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,359
together. So Witley was dead and
Weightley's brother, William was in charge of

480
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:43,160
his estate. He accused a man
named John Temple of leaking the letters he

481
00:33:43,279 --> 00:33:46,359
did not, obviously. Temple denied
the claim and was fucking furious. So

482
00:33:46,519 --> 00:33:52,000
he challenged William Witley to a duel, to a duel in Hyde Park,

483
00:33:52,279 --> 00:33:57,160
Jersey now Hyde Park, London,
so like their Central Park Park Austin.

484
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,839
So I thought you could only duel
in Jersey. That's my understanding. It

485
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:07,320
is to take a boat. The
whole thing gonna have witnesses, witnesses going

486
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:10,679
to turn their backs. Well the
witnesses or the seconds or whatever, those

487
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:17,920
are optional. But they had their
backs turned. Yes, maybe, So

488
00:34:19,199 --> 00:34:22,639
they dueled in Hyde Park on December
eleven, seventeen seventy three. There were

489
00:34:22,679 --> 00:34:24,519
a couple of problems with the duel
though. For one thing, Temple was

490
00:34:24,599 --> 00:34:31,199
like pretty fat and death sick.
For another, it was dumping. Now,

491
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:36,360
Temple is a challengeee. Temple challenged
him. He was the challenger because

492
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:38,760
Witley, William Witley accused him of
leaking his brother's left. But he's fat

493
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:43,719
and deaf and he knows this,
and yeah, he's aware, he knows,

494
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:49,719
he knows himself. Man has honors. Yeah, so they fire pistols

495
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:53,639
at each other. Miss didn't try
to miss, wasn't It wasn't a gentlemanly

496
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:58,800
thing, like they just fucking miss. So they pull out their swords and

497
00:34:59,119 --> 00:35:04,519
they run out each each other and
immediately get into a fucking slap fight.

498
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:07,760
And they rolled around in the mud
for like an hour before someone walked by

499
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:12,679
and made them stop. An hour, that's what it said. That is

500
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:15,639
a long fight. I know,
I've never seen a fight go on for

501
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:17,599
an out like at that point,
like the person stopping, it's like,

502
00:35:17,679 --> 00:35:21,039
you guys suck at fighting. I
think that's kind of what happened that.

503
00:35:21,079 --> 00:35:23,840
I thought you guys are pathetic.
What's what's the equivalent with two like adult

504
00:35:24,119 --> 00:35:28,039
incompetence, Like if you walk up
and you're like, all right, boys,

505
00:35:28,079 --> 00:35:30,320
break it up to like two little
kids, like you're walking past a

506
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:31,599
playground, there's two like nine year
olds in a fist fight. Yeah,

507
00:35:31,599 --> 00:35:35,199
it's a kid. I'm like,
all right, boys, that's enough of

508
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:38,599
that. You done, did it? Yeah? Shake hands, it's the

509
00:35:38,679 --> 00:35:46,559
important part. Getting my man.
I'm a stranger. Yeah, actually,

510
00:35:46,559 --> 00:35:49,440
you wouldn't break up that fight if
you're a chomb list, or you'd wait

511
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:52,159
till one gets knocked unconscious and then
you're like, good work. Yeah,

512
00:35:52,639 --> 00:35:57,880
thanks billy um. But Waitley did
get badly wounded by Temple's sword at some

513
00:35:58,039 --> 00:36:01,000
point in the fight. So at
this point, feeling responsible for the violence

514
00:36:01,039 --> 00:36:05,559
and not wanting any more bloodshed or
accusations because it's such a scandal, Franklin

515
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:10,719
finally came forward as the leaker,
and he justified his actions and tell me,

516
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:15,320
if this doesn't sound like the worst
excuse you would hear on Twitter,

517
00:36:15,079 --> 00:36:17,719
you know what I mean? Or
a leaguer. Yeah, he justified his

518
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:22,440
actions by being like, well,
all letters between public officials should be published

519
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:27,599
anyway, There shouldn't be any private
correspondence if you're a public official. Yeah,

520
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:30,199
that's I'm making up rules as I
go kind of thing. I tend

521
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:35,559
to agree right now too. If
you're a public figure, ourselves included your

522
00:36:35,599 --> 00:36:37,599
tech should be out so check you
can check their text there, you open

523
00:36:37,639 --> 00:36:42,280
their Gmail fucking anything. Yeah,
yeah, I should see all your dms,

524
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:46,119
your sex. Dan just wants to
you live in a literal glasshouse.

525
00:36:46,119 --> 00:36:49,880
If you're a public, if you
are in government. Well that's the thing

526
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:52,119
I always like crack up about.
It's like they're they're just trying to do

527
00:36:52,199 --> 00:36:54,480
a hit job on him. It's
like, what do you think the public

528
00:36:54,599 --> 00:37:00,599
eye is roses? Right? People, if you are a prominent in this

529
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:02,920
country, people want you. Don't
even have to be prominent. You really

530
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:07,039
don't. Actually, there are so
many there's so much like podcast drama and

531
00:37:07,159 --> 00:37:10,639
beefs that like I would think no
one would care about. But I guess

532
00:37:10,679 --> 00:37:14,159
it's like a whole industry. That's
why that was one thing get too.

533
00:37:14,159 --> 00:37:16,320
If I'm back in the day where
we never did it, thank god,

534
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:20,960
but like that was one there's a
conversation with it, like let's start some

535
00:37:21,079 --> 00:37:23,960
fires between you guys. Yeah that
or like between other sites, because that

536
00:37:24,039 --> 00:37:28,400
wasn't how people forget. That's one
way barstool got really big because all their

537
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:32,000
Twitter personalities were really agonistic. Yeah, we had some runninence with them,

538
00:37:32,039 --> 00:37:35,960
but we did. But I was
always like it was so funny, and

539
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:39,039
that's why I never really took them
super seriously. Uh, it's just because

540
00:37:39,119 --> 00:37:42,599
I mean I would have worked there, no, no question, because it's

541
00:37:42,599 --> 00:37:45,440
a great audience. But like,
um, it was just like I'm here

542
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:49,480
to like write, like I'm here
to make stuff. Like I'm not.

543
00:37:49,519 --> 00:37:51,719
It's not a reality show. I'm
just trying to be funny. Yeah.

544
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:53,840
Yeah, there's definitely a difference between
the people are like, all right,

545
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:57,719
this is my job, and there's
people are it's like my job is me

546
00:37:58,599 --> 00:38:00,960
right? Yeah, you know what
I mean. It's like I'm becoming I'm

547
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,840
a brand even with this podcast,
Dude, Like all I want to do

548
00:38:04,039 --> 00:38:06,920
is talk about history and like write
an outline like fuck around, Like I'm

549
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,519
not trying to like figure out how
to make money doing it. No fuck

550
00:38:09,639 --> 00:38:13,440
that for the love of the game. Yeah No. But I mean,

551
00:38:13,519 --> 00:38:16,280
like I'm not trying to like make
myself a fucking character what like you know

552
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:20,760
what I mean, like it,
or like make myself a brand like I

553
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:22,000
would rather I would rather show be
a brand. Now, this is a

554
00:38:22,119 --> 00:38:27,559
launching pad. Everyone knows this.
We're an incubator for ourselves and we built

555
00:38:27,559 --> 00:38:30,159
the incubator for ourselves. Rob's gonna
leave us for the first and Carlin's gonna

556
00:38:30,199 --> 00:38:32,079
hit him up and just be like, No, would be an acting gig.

557
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:36,760
Hey, it'd be an acting gig. A spot roll like a one

558
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:43,159
episode, one episode come back saying
I'm leaving you because I've going on vacation

559
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:45,239
to Hawaii for a week or something
like. You gotta really drag him.

560
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:47,400
No, No, They're like,
hey, we gotta, we gotta have

561
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:52,119
you on set for at least three
weeks for SVU, Like you could handle

562
00:38:52,199 --> 00:38:55,800
that. So no, he would
be like, I'm out, I got

563
00:38:55,840 --> 00:39:00,440
an agent, did my episode,
Now I'm on Bigger and Better Things Roll.

564
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:07,320
Yeah, big fucking dude. Um, I mean I would, uh

565
00:39:08,159 --> 00:39:13,840
and we would gladly. Did you
do you have to pay us for your

566
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:16,679
share though? Yeah? Who we
were replacing them with um Ai Rob,

567
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:21,199
you get a computer change. Oh
that's so easy. Joke, bought joke.

568
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:23,119
But yeah, you're just like,
what would Rob Fox do about this?

569
00:39:23,639 --> 00:39:30,280
Ben Franklin had a neat penis?
Dude, you have it already.

570
00:39:30,679 --> 00:39:37,159
We're on We're on microphones so much
that I think we could probably put out

571
00:39:37,159 --> 00:39:38,679
a couple episodes where we don't have
to actually come to the office. It's

572
00:39:38,679 --> 00:39:43,159
the problem though, where it's like
we didn't check it beforehand and it's just

573
00:39:43,639 --> 00:39:45,920
terrible. It's just like, well, if it's better, it's just like

574
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:51,719
Robin Dan. But eventually you become
flanderized, right, because that's what AI

575
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:53,360
is doing now, where they're pulling
from their own art. Yeah, it's

576
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:58,480
pretty funny. So they're like kind
of getting incestuous with their ideas. Essentially,

577
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:04,800
Jake runs a lazy there a beam
in space. It's eventually just because

578
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:10,320
hey, guys, I'm Jewish.
Later Illuminati thank you. Yeah, yeah,

579
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:14,599
that would still be pretty good though, I think people would enjoy that.

580
00:40:15,639 --> 00:40:19,960
What I think people saluting my master's
oh nice? Yeah? Um so

581
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:23,639
yeah he didn't. Franklin was just
like, all right, someone's gonna kill

582
00:40:23,679 --> 00:40:27,119
somebody else, so I gotta just
come forward. So he published a letter

583
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:32,920
on Christmas Day saying that he did
it no days off m Christmas Day,

584
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:36,159
what do you do? Content never
sleeps well, he didn't write on christs

585
00:40:36,159 --> 00:40:38,760
to Day, published on Christmas even
still get a hit published real quick.

586
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:43,719
I'm gonna go through some ads here

591
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:07,440
they're advertising, they have the best
beefsticks that I've ever eaten, twenty grams

592
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:09,960
of protein, which which is insane. Most crap you'll get into gas stations

593
00:41:10,039 --> 00:41:13,880
like four grams, So if you're
you know, need extra protein and stuff

594
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:16,440
like that, these things are incredible
and they taste really good. Their energy

595
00:41:16,519 --> 00:41:20,920
drinks are one of my favorite things, one of the best energy drinks I've

596
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:23,400
ever had, I like, other
than coffee. That's like my favorite way

597
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:27,559
to get energy. But we're talking
about Optigreens fifty from first Form today.

598
00:41:28,079 --> 00:41:32,000
Optigreen fifties are precisely formulated green super
food prep powder meant for overall immune system

599
00:41:32,039 --> 00:41:36,360
support and digestive health. About eighty
percent of your immune system is located in

600
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:39,320
your gut and digestive track, so
healthy digestion is essential for overall health and

601
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:45,760
wellness. Optigreens has fifty hand chosen
ingredients that are effectively dose. It's not

602
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:49,519
necessarily how many ingredients, it's how
well they're you know, used. The

603
00:41:49,599 --> 00:41:52,840
taste and texture is great, it's
not gritty. There's a sweet berry flavor.

604
00:41:52,039 --> 00:41:57,119
One hundred percent of the greens are
grown and manufactured in the USA.

605
00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:00,599
It's low temperature process and it's one
hundred percent organic grasses. It means your

606
00:42:00,599 --> 00:42:06,239
body can more effectively utilize the nutrients
instead of like a high temperature process.

607
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:12,280
Five different blends in Optigreens fifty are
meant for a specific digestive health and immune

608
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:15,920
system benefits. There's the Green Superfood
blend. It's non GMO, nonsynthetic superfood

609
00:42:16,119 --> 00:42:20,719
provides a you know, just a
good blend of vitamins for overall immune system

610
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:23,639
support. There's the Fighter Nutrient blend
that's for a natural defense against toxins in

611
00:42:23,679 --> 00:42:29,079
the air and the foods we eat. The Glycemic Balance blend is to sort

612
00:42:29,119 --> 00:42:36,119
of give you a natural energy,
cleaner and more level energy throughout the day

613
00:42:36,119 --> 00:42:40,840
and kind of takes away the highs
and lows. Digestive enzyme blend helps increase

614
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:45,519
absorption of nutrients in your body from
the food you eat. And then the

615
00:42:45,559 --> 00:42:49,119
probiotic Blend. Obviously, that's for
gut health because you know your immune system.

616
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:51,760
A lot of it is in your
gut and it is important to keep

617
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:55,960
that bad boy healthy. Again,

639
00:44:07,679 --> 00:44:08,880
right, let's get back to the
show, which was always fun to me,

640
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:10,960
by the way, just to say
one more content thing real quick.

641
00:44:12,039 --> 00:44:14,440
At TFM or anywhere, it was
like, yeah, we always have so

642
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:16,960
much lower traffic on Christmas Day or
Thanksgiving Day, and I'm like, why

643
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:20,960
you're sitting around all day doing nothing. I'm on my phone so much on

644
00:44:21,039 --> 00:44:23,159
those days. Most of the time, Rob was encouraging them to make us

645
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:30,239
work on holidays, the lower paid
people certainly, Yeah, the bullpen,

646
00:44:30,559 --> 00:44:35,639
Yeah, well, bullpen came running
out a little later, but you got

647
00:44:35,639 --> 00:44:43,039
ahead of the race. Yeah.
So Franklin was called before the Privy Council,

648
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:46,519
which is just like a I think
in like sort of inner circle Parliament,

649
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:52,679
Royal Council or whatever. And this
was, by the way, he

650
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:55,719
was called before the Council or he
publishes letter. And that was like a

651
00:44:55,800 --> 00:45:00,920
couple of days after the Boston Tea
party happened. So England was fucking pissed,

652
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:05,880
like everyone in Parliament. Everything was
fucking hated, the colonies, hated

653
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:08,199
any one other side. So I
had the Privy Council, the guy I

654
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:12,599
think somebody went for a swim a
couple of days after. You could like

655
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:16,239
taste it. It's like a I
do wonder if it killed fish. You

656
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:21,760
would almost think it at Caffeine made
a candy fish, Yo made Swedish fish.

657
00:45:22,079 --> 00:45:27,000
I didn't know this, but like
weapons grade sonar can actually like rip

658
00:45:27,039 --> 00:45:30,159
shit apart. I mean it's it
is something. Yeah, like it's not

659
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:34,440
nothing, so like yeah, I
didn't noticed, but like if you were

660
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:37,440
like swimming by like a weaponized machine
with sonar on it, yeah, and

661
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:42,199
it went off, it would like
make your fucking brain explode out of your

662
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:45,519
skull, dude. Same with bluetooth. That's why AirPods are terrible for you.

663
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:47,639
Dude, What are you talking about? I just listen to hot beats

664
00:45:47,679 --> 00:45:52,000
on that ship. I know,
but it's frying your brain. Well,

665
00:45:52,159 --> 00:45:57,440
there's internet all around me right now, all that five g hell yeah,

666
00:45:57,559 --> 00:46:01,320
dude, it's another RFKA platform out
it. Get my brain in that ship.

667
00:46:01,559 --> 00:46:06,039
Let's go about time. Get singular. Yeah, I'm trying to be

668
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:09,760
singular wireless. I don't singularity?
Is that more absurd than Trump saying that

669
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:15,079
the wind turbines cause cancer? Did
he say that? Yeah? Did he

670
00:46:15,199 --> 00:46:17,320
mean it? I don't know.
Yeah, that's what it come on.

671
00:46:17,519 --> 00:46:21,719
What does Trump say that you can
honestly take without a grain of salt.

672
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:30,320
Really, that is the best photo
of a living president or any president looking

673
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:32,719
at a solar eclipse, staring directly
at it and pointing at it like there

674
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:36,760
it is. That is my favorite
photo of any president ever. And I

675
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:39,320
think him I agree, it's fantastic. That should be in That should be

676
00:46:40,039 --> 00:46:43,760
on her. It should be on
her flag. Put it on the dollar

677
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:46,800
bill, yeah, just right in
this center. Put on a thousand dollar

678
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:51,519
bill. Then you put the shining
eye that was on top of the pyramid

679
00:46:51,599 --> 00:46:52,719
above it. So that's what he's
looking at, and it's pointing back down

680
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:54,760
at him, and he's giving him
a thumbs up. Yeah. Yeah,

681
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:59,800
it's just a cartoon. I was
like, it's like buddy, uh,

682
00:47:00,039 --> 00:47:07,760
buddy Supreme Yeah yeah. Um.
So Franklin stood there in the Privy Council

683
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:15,000
as the Solicitor General Alexander Wetterburn uh
just ripped him a thousand new assholes for

684
00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:17,239
what he did, like which just
like you are a piece of shit,

685
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:22,920
a thief, You're dishonorable. Fuck
you. Um. He was then removed

686
00:47:23,079 --> 00:47:30,039
from his position, um about being
Boston's Asian or whatever as well, like

687
00:47:30,159 --> 00:47:35,199
the Board of Trade dismissed Franklin from
his post as the Colonial Postmaster General.

688
00:47:36,159 --> 00:47:39,280
Moved from fucking everything fired, fired, fired, fired, a little bit

689
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:44,880
of a tongue twister. So Colonial
Postmaster General a lot. Yeah, it's

690
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:49,039
a mouthful a lot of I'm okay
losing that title. Yeah, CpG.

691
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:53,840
You just gotta breathe it. It's
fair. But yeah, Franklin, by

692
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:58,199
the way, as I said earlier, a man in many hats politically neutral

693
00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:02,039
up to that point. He left
London and England fucking disgraced, had to

694
00:48:02,119 --> 00:48:07,920
go back to his all the colonies. Yeah, and after that, after

695
00:48:08,039 --> 00:48:12,559
his running with the Privy Council and
the Board of Trade, he returned to

696
00:48:12,599 --> 00:48:17,880
America in seventeen seventy five being like, fuck England, let's go independent.

697
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:24,280
Huck England, wee ball. Yeah. So thanks to these league letters,

698
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:32,119
the massholes became basically entirely convinced at
this point that they needed to be independent

699
00:48:32,199 --> 00:48:39,639
because they thought they had straight up
confirmation that the powers that be in Britain

700
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:45,199
wanted to give them less governance over
themselves, less independence over themselves, so

701
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:53,159
they thought they needed more independence.
And then we also got one of our

702
00:48:53,239 --> 00:48:59,719
MVPs. Yeah for the revolution thanks
to those letters, John Paul Jones,

703
00:49:00,559 --> 00:49:04,880
Ben Franklin, Ben Franklin, Ben
the guy. We've just these letters,

704
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:09,239
but I thought another, like,
oh another cameo drop J. Cole's on

705
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:12,840
this track to you, what the
fuck? And these letters were going hard

706
00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:16,239
from the rafters. These letters like
raised the temperature enough that they were fucking

707
00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:21,079
going crazy. This they honestly raised
the temperatre enough that they may have kind

708
00:49:21,119 --> 00:49:24,840
of directly led to the atmosphere that
made the Boston Tea Party possible. Um,

709
00:49:25,079 --> 00:49:30,000
and the Boston Tea Party directly inspired
what the Colonists you may remember this

710
00:49:30,079 --> 00:49:35,239
from history class, dubbed the intolerable
intolerable acts which did literally lead to the

711
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:38,119
American Yeah. Um, so this
scandal, like I said, it gave

712
00:49:38,679 --> 00:49:43,199
the colony, It gave the colonies
one of his MVPs, and arguably it's

713
00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:49,480
inciting incident. Damn. Okay,
Wow, that's a big deal. I'd

714
00:49:49,559 --> 00:49:52,920
know. I'd never learned that in
history class. How do you know?

715
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:55,199
I don't. Yeah, I probably
I could have gotten probably glossed over.

716
00:49:55,239 --> 00:49:58,599
It probably got a whole week on
that. Yeah, I just don't even

717
00:49:58,639 --> 00:50:00,519
remember it. You know, much
history I've learn I haven't retained, right,

718
00:50:00,679 --> 00:50:07,360
Yeah, but that was a humongous
little piece of the reason we went

719
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:14,880
to war, you know, declared
independence. While all of this was going

720
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:23,719
on, there was also something global
and fucked up going on that directly and

721
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:32,440
intricate, intricately involved both the colonies
and England. The first ever literally the

722
00:50:32,679 --> 00:50:39,320
first ever modern banking crisis. Oh
no, nothing hurts more. Nothing like

723
00:50:39,519 --> 00:50:45,119
that is the financial equivalent of like
a summer for crisis. Yeah, for

724
00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:47,320
making people crazy. Now, are
the Venetians still around at this point?

725
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:52,840
Not really. The banking center is
England is London and Amsterdam, and to

726
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:58,079
a lesser extent, and the Swiss. I don't know if they're really players

727
00:50:58,159 --> 00:51:00,480
yet. I don't to the game. Yeah, but yeah, this is

728
00:51:00,519 --> 00:51:06,039
post Medici kind of shit too.
For sure, was still hanging on or

729
00:51:07,039 --> 00:51:09,199
I would say at this point London
is inarguably the financial center of the world.

730
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:14,360
For a long time it was,
but Amsterdam is still I mean it's

731
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:19,920
look, London is still a huge
financial center probably number two, number two.

732
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:22,239
Yeah, I mean as far as
like open and transparent financial centers,

733
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:27,239
yes, number two. I would
say, other than possibly some Chinese Beijing

734
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:30,559
or arguments, but yeah, I
would say London. So, like I

735
00:51:30,639 --> 00:51:35,400
said, the colonies in England were
directly and heavily involved in this. If

736
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:40,639
the letters pissed New England off,
the banking crisis was what maybe put the

737
00:51:40,719 --> 00:51:45,360
South over the edge. Yeah,
and this was happening at the exact same

738
00:51:45,599 --> 00:51:51,519
time, and it all started because
of one literally because of one dumb asshole.

739
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:55,000
I love that. Yeah, that's
I believe it. Like when people

740
00:51:55,039 --> 00:51:58,719
are like, oh, he's just
an idiot, It's like do you know

741
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:04,880
how often how often idiots have changed
the course of history. Yep, it's

742
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:07,440
most of it. It's all of
it, Yeah, almost all of it.

743
00:52:07,559 --> 00:52:12,000
So you're just calling Sam Adams just
a moron. I don't think he

744
00:52:12,119 --> 00:52:15,719
was smart. I think he was
a brute. I have a hot Yeah

745
00:52:15,719 --> 00:52:17,119
I do too, I think he
I have a much high regard for John

746
00:52:17,119 --> 00:52:22,480
Adams and Sam Adams certainly not You're
but more of a John, you're Sam.

747
00:52:22,559 --> 00:52:24,320
I'm a samboy. Yeah, it's
a surprise to no one. Yeah,

748
00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:29,480
I'm not not surprised in the least. He got drunk, started a

749
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:35,440
revolution in a bar, and uh
yeah, actually did his part. I'm

750
00:52:35,480 --> 00:52:38,199
like John, um, getting drunk
and starting a revolution and a bar shouldn't

751
00:52:38,199 --> 00:52:42,239
be a good prerequisite for everybody.
Sounds like a bad hang. Yeah.

752
00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:45,199
Also again, that has led to
some pretty bad things in history. Most

753
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:52,199
revolutions. Look, the American Revolution
is history. He's written by the winners.

754
00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:54,639
Yeah, well we won, I
guess. Actually that's not even necessarily

755
00:52:54,760 --> 00:53:00,400
true. Losers do document pretty hard, how bad they written by the winners.

756
00:53:00,519 --> 00:53:04,559
I don't know why people hold the
French Revolution in such a high regard,

757
00:53:05,039 --> 00:53:07,320
because is the second worst revolution you
get Napoleon. Napoleon was a good

758
00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:12,079
later he was dope, but he
wasn't good. They ended up with a

759
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:15,719
monarch, stronger monarch. Yeah,
but sometimes it's the effort too. Yeah,

760
00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:20,480
but it was just they should,
honestly, they should study the American

761
00:53:20,519 --> 00:53:24,800
Revolution. We also wanted to make
George Washington king who us the country?

762
00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:28,119
Yeah, we're idiots. We're like, oh, let's give it to the

763
00:53:28,159 --> 00:53:29,800
monarch. Oh, George, you
want to be a monarch. He's like,

764
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:31,039
nah, we'll get to that.
Well, we'll talk about that.

765
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:35,960
Have you heard about when George Washington
became president and he wrote Congress like,

766
00:53:36,119 --> 00:53:38,199
oh, I'm so excited to be
president, and then Congress like we need

767
00:53:38,239 --> 00:53:40,840
to write a letter back, and
they're like, we're so excited, have

768
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:44,159
you And he's like, thanks,
I'm excited, you're excited, and all

769
00:53:44,199 --> 00:53:46,639
the while he's having I believe it
was either I think it was Thomas Jefferson

770
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:51,079
right that to Congress and then Congress
like, hey Tom, right this to

771
00:53:51,119 --> 00:53:57,519
George Washington, back and forth.
Why was Congress having it? I think

772
00:53:57,559 --> 00:54:02,119
Jefferson was the Secretary of State.
I don't know under under probably why do

773
00:54:02,159 --> 00:54:06,440
you hate Washington. We'll do my
wanting. I don't hate Washington. I

774
00:54:06,519 --> 00:54:07,840
just think you're doing your hit piece. I gotta do my hit piece on

775
00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:13,480
Washing. But that requires me like
days of getting hammering shit out, um

776
00:54:13,679 --> 00:54:16,360
and not my normal. We all
have this like aspirational topic we want to

777
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:19,559
talk about, but I don't have
the time for it. But if I

778
00:54:19,719 --> 00:54:22,760
did, it would be fine.
Just wait for that one. Um.

779
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:29,480
So, as a result of the
Townsend Act UH and the breakdown of the

780
00:54:29,639 --> 00:54:35,360
Boston Non Importation Agreement, this period
was marked by tremendous growth in exports from

781
00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:39,000
Britain to the American colonies UH.
And all of these massive exports were helped

782
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:45,800
propped up by British credit that British
merchants granted to American planters. Han spells

783
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:49,159
to the South because we're talking cash
crops here, tobacco, cotton, rice,

784
00:54:49,280 --> 00:54:52,599
indigo, blah blah blah. My
god, were they giving credit out

785
00:54:52,679 --> 00:54:55,559
every which way they could? Ever
heard of a bubble? Yeah I have?

786
00:54:57,199 --> 00:55:00,320
UM. So they didn't have enough
in the coffers to in case the

787
00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:05,280
credit the stuff didn't come. They
sure fucking did not. Yeah, I

788
00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:08,039
mean, how do you think crises
work? You're like, yeah, um

789
00:55:09,679 --> 00:55:15,440
so, I mean, look,
it was obvious to anyone kind of looking

790
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:22,719
maybe that there should have been a
situation. The prosperity of both British and

791
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:28,119
colonial economies, there's a lot of
a lot of that was due to speculation

792
00:55:28,239 --> 00:55:34,679
and the establishment of quote unquote dubious
financial institutions. For example, in Scotland,

793
00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:39,199
bankers adopted the notorious practice of drawing
and redrawing fictitious bills of exchange just

794
00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:44,360
in an effort to expand credit.
They were just I guess, making up

795
00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:45,960
how much money they had to get
better credit. Well, yeah, than

796
00:55:46,119 --> 00:55:51,119
they inflate because of circulation. Yeah, things like that. Yeah, pretty

797
00:55:51,199 --> 00:55:53,719
pretty standard there. But also keep
in mind you don't want deflation either.

798
00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:59,119
That's actually worse. Yes, I
agree, yeah, because then no one,

799
00:55:59,199 --> 00:56:04,920
especially in Boston, no deflation.
No, they're anti deflation. Well,

800
00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:07,480
well there were for deflation. What
is this joke? What am I

801
00:56:07,559 --> 00:56:15,159
missing to flake it? Tom Brady
jes Okay, sorry, guys, deflation.

802
00:56:15,519 --> 00:56:16,800
I don't think they would even Oh
my god, you're such a spas.

803
00:56:17,239 --> 00:56:21,159
The text between the two ball boys
was my favorite part of that entire

804
00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:23,599
thing. That was cute. It
was cute, It was a good buddy

805
00:56:23,639 --> 00:56:27,760
comedy in the middle of a scandal, and how they made it seem like

806
00:56:27,880 --> 00:56:31,880
so kind of like malicious, and
so I just like this balls a little

807
00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:35,679
flat, dude. Yeah it was. They made this whole big thing out

808
00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:37,800
of it. I was like,
yeah, all right, whatever, no

809
00:56:37,880 --> 00:56:40,039
one cares. Literally every sport ever
has something like that, some type of

810
00:56:40,079 --> 00:56:44,440
cheating. Baseball. I never really
cared about the Astros cheating, would be

811
00:56:44,519 --> 00:56:47,559
quite honest, never cared. I
didn't care about the Black Sox. And

812
00:56:49,079 --> 00:56:51,079
I remember you, yeah at the
time when they happened, I remember you

813
00:56:51,199 --> 00:56:53,639
just kind of shrugging. I was
just like a game him play. They

814
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:59,039
want to win. Are the only
one that deserves shit because they were throwing

815
00:56:59,119 --> 00:57:02,320
it, Yeah, to get paid, taking steroids, deflating your ball.

816
00:57:02,599 --> 00:57:10,559
Jamie Signs or Jamis Winston also notoriously, dude, watch anything from his heisman

817
00:57:10,639 --> 00:57:14,480
year. It was the year after
or the year after his heisman. Yeah,

818
00:57:14,519 --> 00:57:19,679
it's like first half Jamis was just
throwing left handed or and then he

819
00:57:20,159 --> 00:57:22,280
always brought him back, oh,
because he was awesome. Yeah, I

820
00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:25,280
hate him. I hate Floor of
State. He was the best athlete out

821
00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:29,159
there because he could point shave a
first half spread Jamis was awesome. Yeah,

822
00:57:29,719 --> 00:57:34,760
he was incredible. Um, everyone
made mind. So there were signs

823
00:57:34,840 --> 00:57:37,159
of the depending impending crisis, but
no one really cared. Like they were

824
00:57:37,199 --> 00:57:43,519
overstocked shelves and warehouses. We know
well about that and about how that causes

825
00:57:43,559 --> 00:57:47,239
a financial crisis. Um that these
were all overlooked by British merchants and American

826
00:57:47,239 --> 00:57:52,119
planners because they were all like,
yeah, we're rich, whatever, Yeah,

827
00:57:52,559 --> 00:57:54,039
how bad can it get? Right? We'll weather it. There's this

828
00:57:54,159 --> 00:58:00,599
big fucking bubble. American planters rich. Is that why the peanut man has

829
00:58:00,679 --> 00:58:05,920
the monocle on the top. Yes, that is exactly why. If you

830
00:58:05,960 --> 00:58:07,800
want to write the head of the
cabal, look first the planters. Mister

831
00:58:07,880 --> 00:58:12,800
planter, Yeah, he owns lives. No one talks about that, No

832
00:58:12,880 --> 00:58:15,679
one. We're talking about that.
You know what no one's talking about provides

833
00:58:15,719 --> 00:58:22,760
eight links. Uh. Enter Alexander
four dice. From seventeen fifty seven on

834
00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:27,199
he was a partner in the banking
house of Neil James Fordyce, and down

835
00:58:27,880 --> 00:58:32,239
under four dices guidance, the bank
did all kinds of shady shit. Fordyce

836
00:58:32,360 --> 00:58:36,320
sounds like a shady guy you meet
in the back alley. Yeah, Alex

837
00:58:36,840 --> 00:58:40,000
Jimmy Ford, Hey, even alex
Fordyce. Alex Fordyce sounds like a guy

838
00:58:40,039 --> 00:58:45,440
who always has cocaine. Alex Fordyce
does sound why is it always an ally?

839
00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:50,599
He's got his own weighted dice.
Yeah, he's got like a little

840
00:58:50,639 --> 00:58:52,320
necklace pendant that pops out of spoon. He's like, you want to hit

841
00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:54,920
and then you do it and he's
like that was ketamine. Yeah, yeah,

842
00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:59,679
that's him. That sounds exactly like
that. Uh so under four diyces

843
00:58:59,679 --> 00:59:01,039
guidance the bank, like it said, all kind of shay shit, including

844
00:59:01,079 --> 00:59:05,119
speculation, which is, by the
way, just like day trading games.

845
00:59:05,159 --> 00:59:09,400
It's like gambling on stocks. It's
not speculation is putting a lot of money

846
00:59:09,599 --> 00:59:15,360
on I mean, it's it's gambling. This is like, this is like

847
00:59:15,840 --> 00:59:20,800
gambling gambling. Yeah, this is
like speculation is the stock equivalent from what

848
00:59:20,840 --> 00:59:22,239
I can tell of sports gambling,
you know what I mean. It's just

849
00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:25,679
like, man, the Yankees are
locked today, they're playing the A's Fuck,

850
00:59:25,800 --> 00:59:30,719
I'm I'm gonna fucking lose today.
Um. We have a lot of

851
00:59:30,800 --> 00:59:32,800
that still, I'm sure we do. Yeah, it's just called different things.

852
00:59:34,119 --> 00:59:37,679
Um, they also is how shady
they were by the way they used

853
00:59:37,719 --> 00:59:40,840
plants and informants to find out the
details of the Piece of Paris in seventeen

854
00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:47,639
sixty three, UH to get an
advantage on um just investing and stuff like

855
00:59:47,719 --> 00:59:52,679
that. The Piece of Paris was
the treaty that ended the Seven Years War

856
00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:57,679
aka the French and Indian War aka
like the technically kind of the First World

857
00:59:57,800 --> 01:00:02,920
War, the First Global War.
They had informants in there giving them information

858
01:00:04,039 --> 01:00:06,880
so they could gamble better. Yeah, it's called the game, dude,

859
01:00:07,159 --> 01:00:09,079
They are the game. Yeah,
you gotta If there isn't one, you

860
01:00:09,199 --> 01:00:14,559
make one. And this this dude
gambled with fucking every cent he was given.

861
01:00:14,679 --> 01:00:15,559
And if you make it and you're
losing, to take your ball and

862
01:00:15,679 --> 01:00:21,360
go home. That's right. How
funny you mentioned that. We'll get to

863
01:00:21,480 --> 01:00:28,039
that. In July seventeen seventy four, UH collaborate with two planters named John

864
01:00:28,119 --> 01:00:32,719
and William McIntosh from Granada, and
that he borrowed two hundred and forty thousand

865
01:00:32,840 --> 01:00:37,159
guilders in bearer bonds from the Dutch
Bank, Hope and co h. William.

866
01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:39,719
There are a couple other guys,
rich guys in on the scheme as

867
01:00:39,760 --> 01:00:47,320
well. I guess. Yeah.
Bourdyce took all this shit and speculated with

868
01:00:47,440 --> 01:00:52,000
it, just gambled it all on
the market. Fun and to be fair,

869
01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:54,960
for a while he was winning,
but he didn't tell his partners.

870
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:58,119
He it wasn't like a big gambling
ring. He's like, I got this

871
01:00:58,199 --> 01:01:01,079
boys, I'll go gamble and we'll
take these He made them think it was

872
01:01:01,079 --> 01:01:05,320
a legitimate business and then he took
all that money and gambled with it.

873
01:01:05,599 --> 01:01:08,679
Yeah, he's kind of like doing
a almost like a Ponzi les. Yeah,

874
01:01:08,800 --> 01:01:12,400
there's good returns. Look at the
business, but it's like I'm just

875
01:01:12,480 --> 01:01:16,400
fucking winging its like our grandparents giving
the savings bonds. Oh, this will

876
01:01:16,440 --> 01:01:21,840
be worth fifty dollars in forty years. Yeah. And then it was supposed

877
01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:27,320
to be worth more than what it's
said on it. It was worth fifty

878
01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:31,960
two dollars and recashed it. It
has negative interest. It's actually worth less,

879
01:01:32,000 --> 01:01:38,039
it is. Yeah. Eventually these
partners showed up just to make sure

880
01:01:38,079 --> 01:01:42,079
the money was okay, you know, and he can't just show you can't

881
01:01:42,199 --> 01:01:47,199
email them a statement or whatever.
According to four Dices biographer quote, it

882
01:01:47,360 --> 01:01:52,840
is said he succeeded in quieting their
fears by the simple expedient of showing them

883
01:01:52,920 --> 01:01:57,440
a pile of bank notes which he
had borrowed for a few hours, just

884
01:01:57,599 --> 01:02:00,320
for the purpose of making them think
he had money. Oh my god,

885
01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:04,280
that's investor meeting. Shit. Yeah, that's all right, everybody, listen

886
01:02:04,400 --> 01:02:07,480
up. We got investors coming tomorrow. Where pants comb your hair? I

887
01:02:07,639 --> 01:02:12,639
have done that meeting so many times. It's startup culture. It's oh,

888
01:02:12,760 --> 01:02:16,159
man, this guy knows the game, dude, he does. But the

889
01:02:16,239 --> 01:02:21,599
house always wins, they do.
He lost heavily. At the beginning of

890
01:02:21,679 --> 01:02:25,440
seventeen seventy one, therere fluctuations in
the market because of a dispute Spain over

891
01:02:25,519 --> 01:02:30,679
the Falkland Islands. But he really
fucked up man. Falkland Islands really,

892
01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:34,880
I know, have a history,
a weird history. I don't know what

893
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:38,760
conflict for very minimal return. There's
not enough space for that much conflict.

894
01:02:38,880 --> 01:02:44,960
I don't really know what the like
appeal of them is. I guess they

895
01:02:45,039 --> 01:02:47,320
maybe control like a shipping lane that
has to be one. Yeah, it's

896
01:02:47,320 --> 01:02:51,079
a it's a land mass in a
big open space of water, um,

897
01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:54,039
but one and a useful big open
yeah. Like Hawaii or something, right,

898
01:02:54,119 --> 01:02:59,599
right, yeah, it's it's definitely
a lane. Um. So he

899
01:02:59,719 --> 01:03:04,159
made a biggest mistake in At the
end of seventeen seventy one early seventeen seventy

900
01:03:04,199 --> 01:03:08,719
two, four Dice decided to go
all in on a short. Oh no,

901
01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:17,719
he shorted t kind of what close
what do you call it? Shorted

902
01:03:17,760 --> 01:03:27,360
your boys the Eagles. No,
he shorted the East India Company. H

903
01:03:27,800 --> 01:03:34,559
wow, that's that seems historically stupid. That seems really bold for a short

904
01:03:34,639 --> 01:03:37,199
Amazon, What the fuck are you
talking about? Listen, there's no way

905
01:03:37,239 --> 01:03:40,960
they could they get better right now? Right. He took a huge short

906
01:03:42,039 --> 01:03:45,400
position on the East India Company,
thinking what pirates are gonna like destroy their

907
01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:50,679
company. I don't know, they're
gonna run out of heroin opium for the

908
01:03:50,800 --> 01:03:53,079
Chinese, or you know, India
is gonna overthrow them. In May of

909
01:03:53,159 --> 01:03:59,239
seventeen seventy two, the East India
Company stock price shot up a lot.

910
01:04:00,280 --> 01:04:03,599
On Monday, June eight, seventeen
seventy two, could no longer be hidden

911
01:04:03,639 --> 01:04:08,719
Ford Dice was fucking bankrupt, so
he he owed up. He had to

912
01:04:08,800 --> 01:04:12,159
ow Oh yeah, yeah, his
bank went insolvent. The next day,

913
01:04:12,599 --> 01:04:15,159
his bank went totally insolvent, Like
just fucking was done. Was he a

914
01:04:15,239 --> 01:04:20,119
mask kissed? Did he enjoy this
was his planned or he certainly enjoyed the

915
01:04:20,239 --> 01:04:24,480
game, right, he enjoyed the
gamble? You like the throw man?

916
01:04:24,760 --> 01:04:31,639
Yeah? Um. The next day
four Dice fled to France. Coward just

917
01:04:31,760 --> 01:04:35,119
got the funk out of Dodge.
Yeah. What does bankruptcy mean back then?

918
01:04:35,280 --> 01:04:38,960
It means basically what it means now. You gotta liquidate your assets and

919
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:41,880
give it to whoever the fuck you
owe money, You pick up and run.

920
01:04:42,079 --> 01:04:44,719
Yeah, yeah, one or the
other. On June twenty second,

921
01:04:44,840 --> 01:04:48,880
dubbed Black Monday before Yeah, that's
when we all got fired from grand X

922
01:04:49,159 --> 01:04:54,679
first time. London went fucking insane. Once four Dice was officially declared bankrupt,

923
01:04:55,440 --> 01:04:58,519
hordes of creditors showed up at the
banks and was like, give us

924
01:04:58,599 --> 01:05:01,440
our money back now, or they
attempted to withdraw all their there's a bank

925
01:05:01,559 --> 01:05:06,000
run of course on everything. As
a result, twenty banks went bankrupt by

926
01:05:06,039 --> 01:05:11,639
the end of June, so it
was a solid cascade then of bank Oh

927
01:05:11,719 --> 01:05:16,000
and it hit fucking the nether lends
hit everywhere. One dude, one dude

928
01:05:16,119 --> 01:05:20,559
shorten essentially like you said, Amazon
or Apple, Yeah, like a moron,

929
01:05:20,719 --> 01:05:25,440
led to a massive bank run,
destroyed at least twenty banks. There

930
01:05:25,480 --> 01:05:29,320
were tales of you know, merchants. Oh hey, I'm sorry. Everyone

931
01:05:29,599 --> 01:05:31,360
that listens to this gonna hate it. This is why there needs to be

932
01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:39,199
a regulation on regulatory board that it
doesn't involve people that control money and budgets

933
01:05:39,239 --> 01:05:43,599
and the government and the mic like
that. Sorry, but it's fun.

934
01:05:43,719 --> 01:05:47,039
That's why the FED exists, you
fuck yeah, like, and because we

935
01:05:47,119 --> 01:05:50,639
don't understand your money, Like,
dude, it's how it works. Now,

936
01:05:51,239 --> 01:05:56,679
this is how it works pretty much. Yeah, I mean I expect

937
01:05:56,800 --> 01:06:00,800
to be flooded. That's fine,
fun communists w Goldman on Instagram. There

938
01:06:00,880 --> 01:06:08,039
were, of course, stories about
bankers or whatever slitting their throats, shooting

939
01:06:08,079 --> 01:06:12,800
themselves, hanging themselves. Okay,
so happy story. Yeah. Uh.

940
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:17,800
News of the crash in Britain reached
Thomas Jefferson on July eighth, seventeen seventy

941
01:06:17,840 --> 01:06:27,079
two. British merchants after the crash
basically immediately called on debt repayment to American

942
01:06:27,159 --> 01:06:32,400
planters. But American planters did not
have that fucking money because of the economic

943
01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:39,119
boom before the crisis. Planters were
not prepared for debt liquidation, and now

944
01:06:39,239 --> 01:06:45,360
they couldn't get any more credit to
continue expanding their plantations or whatever. Get

945
01:06:45,440 --> 01:06:47,480
we'll get new ship, get more
slaves or whatever. The fock planners were

946
01:06:47,599 --> 01:06:51,760
unable to produce and sell their goods
without the credit, so the whole market

947
01:06:51,840 --> 01:06:59,320
became crippled and the price of their
goods also fell because of that. I

948
01:06:59,400 --> 01:07:02,800
mean, it was fucked everywhere.
So they created daylight savings time to kind

949
01:07:02,840 --> 01:07:08,559
of get an hour back, so
little more work. Yeah. It's interesting

950
01:07:08,599 --> 01:07:10,960
though, because oh god, no
good, what we're gonna say? I

951
01:07:11,039 --> 01:07:15,039
was just gonna say, it's like
you have to have a moment in that

952
01:07:15,159 --> 01:07:17,039
time where you're like, well,
you know what, there's a big fucking

953
01:07:17,079 --> 01:07:21,480
ocean there, and you're you're not
gonna hold me too shit, come and

954
01:07:21,559 --> 01:07:25,280
take it. That's that's immediately when
it's like, oh, you know,

955
01:07:25,320 --> 01:07:29,280
all these weird arbitrary rules we made
up for each other, come sail away.

956
01:07:29,480 --> 01:07:30,679
Yeah yeah, come on and come
on and get it. Yeah.

957
01:07:30,880 --> 01:07:35,800
Uh. In May seventeen seventy three, Parliament UH imposed a threepence tax for

958
01:07:35,880 --> 01:07:41,119
each pound of tea sold. They
allowed the East India Company to sell directly

959
01:07:41,159 --> 01:07:44,320
through its own agents. The t
act produced the price of tea and enabled

960
01:07:44,360 --> 01:07:48,039
the company's monopoly over the colonial tea
market. Uh. They were furious about

961
01:07:48,079 --> 01:07:53,920
this in the colonies. Um and
citizens in Charleston, Philadelphia, and New

962
01:07:54,000 --> 01:08:00,039
York and Boston rejected the imported tea, famously culminating in the Boston Team in

963
01:08:00,159 --> 01:08:03,440
December seventeen seventy three. This so, this is the other thing that started

964
01:08:03,440 --> 01:08:08,079
the Boston Tea Party, which led
directly to the Intolerable Acts. Yeah.

965
01:08:08,400 --> 01:08:15,079
Um, the crisis worsened the relationship
of the colonies in Britain, um and

966
01:08:15,320 --> 01:08:20,560
yeah, this is it became.
Then the revolution at shit, the revolution

967
01:08:20,720 --> 01:08:25,800
happened because the two dumb dumbs.
Yeah that's awesome. I love that,

968
01:08:27,159 --> 01:08:30,560
I do. They sparked whatever the
opposite of like, yeah, I'm so

969
01:08:30,680 --> 01:08:34,920
thankful for these fucking idiots, Like
because one guy had a gambling addiction,

970
01:08:36,680 --> 01:08:43,199
yeah yeah, and one guy was
getting shit talked. It is incredible to

971
01:08:43,319 --> 01:08:47,920
me that these were the two.
It was literally just two fucking assholes.

972
01:08:50,319 --> 01:08:55,439
Yeah, but I don't know,
you call him like a homo or something.

973
01:08:56,399 --> 01:09:00,640
Will do we ever find out was
actually in the letters, uh speaking,

974
01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:04,960
Yeah, like just basically they were
like, these people are animals,

975
01:09:05,159 --> 01:09:09,279
just people they are. Yeah,
these are gross people a week day.

976
01:09:09,479 --> 01:09:12,880
They shouldn't be allowed to be in
charge of themselves. Yeah, if you

977
01:09:13,000 --> 01:09:16,279
listen to them. And then obviously
all the massholes were like, hey,

978
01:09:16,359 --> 01:09:21,359
pal, would you what you fucking
say about me? You come into my

979
01:09:21,479 --> 01:09:27,800
house and say that shit poppy right
in the socca Yeah, pop your wife

980
01:09:27,880 --> 01:09:33,039
right in the fucking backs a good
magica, man. I do want to

981
01:09:33,520 --> 01:09:41,439
more historically accurate representation of Massachusetts,
Weld. We should just make a movie

982
01:09:41,439 --> 01:09:45,359
that's actually like the real American Revolution, And it's all like modern day stereotypes

983
01:09:45,439 --> 01:09:50,079
of the people from those places think
you better than me? Yeah. Yeah,

984
01:09:50,760 --> 01:09:55,039
it's just like fucking like everyone from
South Carolina has just got the like

985
01:09:55,159 --> 01:09:57,760
gay southern a you know what I
mean, like the feminine Southern accent.

986
01:09:57,800 --> 01:10:01,239
They're all the Lindsey Graham accent.
People from fucking I don't know what people

987
01:10:01,279 --> 01:10:04,439
from Virginia are. To be honest, the whole state feels like a suburb

988
01:10:05,600 --> 01:10:10,600
doesn't make sense to you. What
the state of Virginia doesn't make sense to

989
01:10:10,600 --> 01:10:13,760
you? Not really, I don't
know what Virginia is I have no idea.

990
01:10:13,960 --> 01:10:15,800
It like doesn't really have a city
because it's only city is DC.

991
01:10:16,159 --> 01:10:20,920
Yeah, and that's not even fucking
in Virginia. And then yeah, it's

992
01:10:21,199 --> 01:10:27,079
m I feel like most of the
people of nariety from Virginia are from the

993
01:10:27,159 --> 01:10:31,880
poorer towns or from just the middle
of nowhere. I know like nothing about

994
01:10:31,960 --> 01:10:34,960
Virginia, That's what I'm saying.
I don't know what Virginia is. I've

995
01:10:35,039 --> 01:10:39,359
never really spent much time there.
I have. I spent like a couple

996
01:10:39,359 --> 01:10:42,279
of days there, but it was
like staying in Virginia because we had to

997
01:10:42,279 --> 01:10:45,800
go into DC. Is Williams Williamsburgs
in Virginia. Yeah, I've been there

998
01:10:46,039 --> 01:10:49,560
Colonial Williamsborg. That's where we had
to go for a fifth grade field trip

999
01:10:49,560 --> 01:10:54,359
because nine to eleven happened and we
couldn't go to DC. Damn. That's

1000
01:10:54,399 --> 01:10:58,279
a long field trip from Florida.
Yeah. We took a bus. Yeah

1001
01:10:59,159 --> 01:11:03,199
it was. Yeah, it was. You can take minors a cross state

1002
01:11:03,279 --> 01:11:06,199
lines if you have parental consent.
Yes, huh, you have to.

1003
01:11:06,439 --> 01:11:10,680
That's what the permission slip is for, right. I don't remember ever going

1004
01:11:10,720 --> 01:11:14,359
across state lines. We would go
to Harrisburg, you never did a DC

1005
01:11:14,479 --> 01:11:16,079
trip as a kid, No,
we did. We did a DC trip

1006
01:11:16,119 --> 01:11:19,279
in eighth grade too, I didn't. We went to Intercourse, Pennsylvania and

1007
01:11:19,279 --> 01:11:23,560
in eighth grade. How much fun
was that? Just making fun of that

1008
01:11:23,760 --> 01:11:28,680
name? Blue Balls Intercourse burd in
hand, there's a blue Balls Pennsylvania,

1009
01:11:28,800 --> 01:11:31,840
Versionville, Paradise. They're all around
each other, and they're all where the

1010
01:11:31,880 --> 01:11:38,520
Amish live. That's weird and on
purpose. There's no way it's not um.

1011
01:11:39,079 --> 01:11:41,359
But yeah, that's all I got
for today. Would you boys learn

1012
01:11:42,279 --> 01:11:46,479
I learned that, amongst other things, I kind of reaffirmed this for me,

1013
01:11:47,359 --> 01:11:50,600
idiots can change the course of history. Don't take them lightly. I

1014
01:11:51,000 --> 01:11:56,359
learned that I have a new appreciation
for Massachusetts. In Boston, Yeah,

1015
01:11:56,600 --> 01:12:00,439
and there they're essentially just like our
step brother in Philly. Boston and Philly

1016
01:12:00,520 --> 01:12:04,000
are Did you just learn that?
No, because they all knew it.

1017
01:12:04,119 --> 01:12:10,479
Reaffirmed it. Okay, they're really
the tip of the spear. We all

1018
01:12:10,560 --> 01:12:14,520
hate New York. Yeah, clearly
New York was kind of a bitch during

1019
01:12:14,520 --> 01:12:15,880
the Revolution. I feel like they
were kind of always a little they were

1020
01:12:15,960 --> 01:12:20,560
kind of a little fence enter they
were. They were, um, who's

1021
01:12:20,600 --> 01:12:29,319
Hitler. Um gotta say probably unfortunately, dude, that just you know,

1022
01:12:30,399 --> 01:12:33,840
yeah, four dice four yeahs just
rolling with it, Yeah, losing everyone's

1023
01:12:33,840 --> 01:12:38,319
money and then leaving for Frank.
I don't know how you just like short

1024
01:12:38,560 --> 01:12:42,119
the most successful compan that's an insane
call, Like that's like, you know,

1025
01:12:42,199 --> 01:12:45,279
I think been a short Google that
he was up for a long time.

1026
01:12:45,359 --> 01:12:48,680
So this was like the ultimate heat
check. It was like, it's

1027
01:12:48,720 --> 01:12:51,840
the bet I should never make,
Like I'm god, like, this is

1028
01:12:51,880 --> 01:12:56,880
something people tell Mike malloy or not
Mike Malloy. Timothy Dexter to right,

1029
01:12:57,199 --> 01:13:00,680
and it works out for him because
it's Timothy Dexter. But oh yeah,

1030
01:13:00,720 --> 01:13:05,079
you should sell cats to people and
take hot coals to the Caribbean. Usually

1031
01:13:05,079 --> 01:13:09,760
take hot coals to Birmingham. Yeah, it's saying coal to Newcastle, yeah

1032
01:13:09,960 --> 01:13:15,359
or Newcastle. Yeah that's what it
was. Yeah. Also I guess no,

1033
01:13:15,560 --> 01:13:18,479
it's it's Bourdyce Bourdyce. Yeah.
Wood an asshole, yeah for sure,

1034
01:13:18,560 --> 01:13:23,640
although honestly, like I don't know, just full assholes really. But

1035
01:13:23,760 --> 01:13:26,720
it's funny to me that these two
things you never really learned about. You

1036
01:13:26,840 --> 01:13:30,600
learn about the intolerable acts, you
learn about the stamp Act and all that

1037
01:13:30,760 --> 01:13:35,000
type issue at the Boston Tea Party. Obviously you don't hear about these little

1038
01:13:35,079 --> 01:13:40,760
things that really actually set the stage
for those things that you do read about.

1039
01:13:41,520 --> 01:13:44,279
Yeah, it's like you can't really
point in any one thing, but

1040
01:13:44,399 --> 01:13:46,119
it's like, man, these things
might have really done it. Yeah,

1041
01:13:46,479 --> 01:13:50,439
and well the Boston Tea Party was
certainly an inciting incident, but well there

1042
01:13:50,479 --> 01:13:54,960
are things that brought people to the
point where they would do a Boston tea

1043
01:13:55,039 --> 01:13:59,359
party, right exactly. Yeah,
but it's and apparently it's one guy.

1044
01:13:59,520 --> 01:14:03,119
It's not cover. It's one idiot
shorting in history class. You know,

1045
01:14:03,439 --> 01:14:08,600
it's not even though that's hilarious,
that's I would go fucking nuts learning that.

1046
01:14:08,920 --> 01:14:11,359
Yeah, a good teacher could really
knock that up in like fifth grade

1047
01:14:11,399 --> 01:14:13,920
them, Nah, not what I'm
saying. Like, but like high school,

1048
01:14:14,119 --> 01:14:16,399
uh yeah, American like yeah for
sure, not American government, but

1049
01:14:16,640 --> 01:14:19,439
um, American history. Yeah,
high school for sure, that would be

1050
01:14:19,520 --> 01:14:23,880
great, let alone college. Um. But yeah, that is all I
