And then this 5 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,280 was just after off. I guess you could say cameras and say it's a 6 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:30,960 camera now. He was like, I'm bad at this. Why do you 7 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,320 guys even have Yeah, we had a gas Dan up before we started, 8 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:38,320 so I had to introduce him first. It's fair. On the other mic, 9 00:00:38,399 --> 00:00:40,679 of course, is our co host, Rob Fox. What's up, 10 00:00:40,719 --> 00:00:44,359 guys, I'm back. I uh sorry, I was gone last week. 11 00:00:44,399 --> 00:00:46,880 It was me and my wife one year anniversary, so I had a little 12 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:51,240 staycations. Don't just putting it to her on South Congress. Don't let him 13 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:56,640 fool you. He for the podcast, he was. He was in a 14 00:00:56,679 --> 00:01:00,560 fallout. She would have been furious. Rob was worried about loud in Austin, 15 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,039 so it went to a bunker for those ye know I left. It 16 00:01:03,079 --> 00:01:06,920 was no, I didn't say it was we checked out election. I saw 17 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:08,439 you that day. I know. I was just yeah, hey, look 18 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,760 listen, I was at a bar with Alex Jones. Nothing happened, We 19 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:18,120 were fine. I saw that you called the election pretty early. Did Vince 20 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,719 Carter jiffed it? Yeah, that was like it's over. It was minus 21 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:26,719 five hundred Trump I probably I got caught smash that. I know. If 22 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,000 that was the move, you could have gotten both Biden and Trumpet plus money 23 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,319 and then just made money regardless. I'm telling you. I was telling you 24 00:01:32,359 --> 00:01:38,480 guys this in our group text that live lines wildly overreact, especially our book 25 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,799 because we usual the same website. Yeah, we have different bookies right now, 26 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:46,879 but they use the same website. I would make so much money betting 27 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:53,760 on college basketball, specifically betting unders on the live line, because when they 28 00:01:53,079 --> 00:01:57,519 if they come out hot, it explodes up. Yeah yeah, it really 29 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,719 goes higher than it should feeling, and then you know it's college basketball. 30 00:02:00,719 --> 00:02:05,920 These guys missed a million feet. Yeah, I mean. I wrote an 31 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,719 article about why the n the n I T is the most like electric sporting 32 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:14,080 event in all of sports for Gambler, for anything, just because you get 33 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,639 to see guys who are going to end up being like real estate agents playing 34 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,560 basketball. It's like, yeah, every year, like some team like Robert 35 00:02:20,599 --> 00:02:23,319 Morris or something like that, wins it too. UCF was always there like 36 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:28,680 four I am as you got dumped in the first round of the m I 37 00:02:28,759 --> 00:02:31,120 t one year as like a two seed, and it's the race to sixty 38 00:02:31,199 --> 00:02:35,120 Nine's the sixty nine best team in the country. That's right, Actually not 39 00:02:36,039 --> 00:02:38,520 if they called no, no, it is because it's now the NCAA Tournaments 40 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:43,960 sixty eighteen. Oh right, it was sixty four. Now it's the first 41 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:49,479 sixty eight Now they called nine. Yeah, anyway, we're not no, 42 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,879 they should they should embrace that. Yeah, I agree completely. And um, 43 00:02:53,159 --> 00:02:58,759 that little joke how apt? Yeah? How how A proposed that you 44 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,840 bring up jokes on the humor podcast because we're gonna talk a little bit of 45 00:03:01,879 --> 00:03:07,439 history about jokes, jokers and fools, jesters, jesters, that's my episode 46 00:03:07,439 --> 00:03:12,840 of the Boys Court Jestersester, No, not manjester. And maybe that's how 47 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,879 your name came about. You actually looked up Dan's last name and amologize it. 48 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,360 I d amologized Dan's last name to see what it meant. Yeah, 49 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,599 if had anything to do with it, it doesn't. It actually has to 50 00:03:21,599 --> 00:03:24,719 do with the last name. The surname Rochester ooh yeah, um, no 51 00:03:24,759 --> 00:03:28,639 idea, please explain it. Yeah, your last name actually means like buy 52 00:03:28,719 --> 00:03:34,759 a hill or like by a tree. It actually can mean it's a topographical 53 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,159 last name, so it means like Chester means like buy a hill, by 54 00:03:38,159 --> 00:03:42,240 a river, by a tree, like buy something topographical by anything. Yeah, 55 00:03:42,319 --> 00:03:45,919 but like in the area of Rochester as well. Okay, so your 56 00:03:46,039 --> 00:03:50,439 name is kind of like that guy by the hill in Rochester, whereas mine 57 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,479 dignified. Um money man, man of gold, man of gold. Easy, 58 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:59,520 I'm man, I'm hill people. You're a hill person, yes, 59 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:04,479 all right, I mean there's a lot of imagine your ancestors are basically exactly 60 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:09,879 like I probably made this joke before those hill people on this podcast, those 61 00:04:09,919 --> 00:04:13,919 hill people from Game of Throne that like pop out and captured. We're in 62 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,920 the front lines of every like Irish conflict that you were like wearing, you 63 00:04:17,959 --> 00:04:25,360 know, antlers of fella. I'm like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 64 00:04:25,439 --> 00:04:28,439 yeah. You just use this as human shield. You just just take 65 00:04:28,519 --> 00:04:32,399 swords and then you know, you just start stabbing the people, even if 66 00:04:32,399 --> 00:04:35,600 it's through us. It's just yeah, they're really just swamp apes, that's 67 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,600 right. They just made the spears longer to get through you guys. No, 68 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,120 I get it. Yeah, um, but no, so your name 69 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,639 doesn't actually have anything to do with jestures or men of the court that jesse 70 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,360 Um. Jestures actually have a pretty wild background. I thought they were just 71 00:04:49,399 --> 00:04:55,319 like dudes that wore belled hats and dicked around and like made funny so the 72 00:04:55,399 --> 00:04:58,319 king could laugh and or they'd cut their heads off or something like that. 73 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:03,360 But they're actually kind of they have not wrong. Sometimes it happened a lot 74 00:05:03,439 --> 00:05:06,600 less than you would think, or probably more because you just don't hear about 75 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,920 them. They got killed pretty it was still happening though at all. Ye's 76 00:05:10,959 --> 00:05:15,399 em bombing then like oh god, yeah, dropping just like I'm sorry you're 77 00:05:15,439 --> 00:05:18,120 set didn't go well at open mic night at the Chuckle Hut. At least 78 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,759 you didn't get fucking deep like beheaded. Sometimes you wish you got beheaded after 79 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,480 a bad mic night. Sometimes, yeah, if you get heckled at an 80 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,240 open mic where the comedy's free and they're not paying and they're still making fun 81 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,800 of you, Definitely, I definitely saw one guy's soul die on stage one, 82 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:32,639 so you know I was with you at that one. Yeah, you 83 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,040 know, exactly. I know, I know who you're talking about. Says 84 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:39,199 you're not a real comedian until you bomb. It's funny because his first SETI 85 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:45,720 crushed. I know, fucking murder day. Yeah. Um so yeah, 86 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,319 just to give a little bit of background, jestures or fools as they were 87 00:05:48,319 --> 00:05:51,879 renowned. Um, there's three types that you'll typically hear about. We're gonna 88 00:05:51,879 --> 00:05:56,240 be covering one type in particular. The first type is the one that we're 89 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,360 all very familiar with. It's a court person, a noble. It's a 90 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,160 noble position, and so this would be a professional fool or a fool of 91 00:06:01,199 --> 00:06:05,319 the court. They actually held status. They were granted land and servants by 92 00:06:05,439 --> 00:06:10,839 king and noblemen as like a um oh god, what do you call it? 93 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:16,639 Uh? Started the pee? Um um yeah, not penance pension. 94 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,040 Yeah, it's like a pension, right. Yeah. They would get it 95 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,800 after they retired. Oh no, they would get it during too. Oh 96 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:26,199 Okay. The one I read was did they have a union that you know 97 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:30,000 they got Benny's we'll get to that. This is actually going to turn into 98 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,439 our pitch for why monarchies aren't so bad. Yeah, and we should all 99 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:38,000 just have a king again. Yeah, definitely, definitely, that's what we're 100 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:42,319 gonna be clean from this monarchy. You might get land. You also might 101 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:46,759 be a mud covered hobo and die of like as a feral human. But 102 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,720 yeah, that's true. Well getting that, there's also the kind of fools. 103 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:53,680 So type one is those like really high up, superstar nobleman fools. 104 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,079 Now you have innocent fools. And this is a very polite way of seeing 105 00:06:57,399 --> 00:07:03,480 people with deformities physical deform These are mentally mental and mentally I'm they basically they 106 00:07:03,519 --> 00:07:08,480 took deformed and mentally retarded people and like laughed at them. Yeah, and 107 00:07:09,199 --> 00:07:14,040 specifically I feel like they were for the kids. Yeah, so they were 108 00:07:14,079 --> 00:07:18,560 taken in like to the royal family out of charity to being mocked. Yeah, 109 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:25,920 they were like essentially mentally disabled people were Nickelodeon for royal children in the 110 00:07:25,959 --> 00:07:29,160 fifteen hundred. Yeah. So, for instance, like in seventeenth century Spain, 111 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,319 little people like, yeah, you know, people with what is it, 112 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:39,240 like dwarfism, dwarfism, encephalitis whatever. That's actually where midget wrestling originated. 113 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,720 It probably did because the little people were kept around for entertainment purposes for 114 00:07:42,759 --> 00:07:46,399 the royal children of the Spanish royal family threw on like a ray mysterio mask 115 00:07:46,519 --> 00:07:48,560 and yeah, so like you know, the kids basically like how you would 116 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,279 get a child a puppy, they got them a small person. Yes, 117 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:58,160 they got them a dwarf. Yeah, and I probably they probably yeah, 118 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,000 they probably prefaced it with it's a magical dwarf. Yeah, it was like, 119 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:05,279 oh, from the far away lands of Guelderland or whatever. They well 120 00:08:05,319 --> 00:08:09,720 one was German. Yeah, one was a German, a German dwarf who 121 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,839 had some other disability that I forgot. But basically when I read that, 122 00:08:11,879 --> 00:08:15,319 I was just like, of course it was the Spanish, right, like 123 00:08:16,199 --> 00:08:20,560 the two like most hardcore countries in the Middle Ages to me earlist like major 124 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:24,600 countries. They're probably smaller countries. And I can't think of, um, 125 00:08:24,759 --> 00:08:30,040 but of the major countries, Like, if you hear about something like especially 126 00:08:30,759 --> 00:08:33,799 hair raisingly fucked up happening, it's probably it's probably Spain or Russia. Yeah, 127 00:08:33,879 --> 00:08:39,879 where it's just like next level dear God, Like if you see like 128 00:08:39,919 --> 00:08:43,559 a painting, a painting of like some guy's skin being peeled off, like 129 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,960 it just feels like Spain, and it's like but like the guy's skin is 130 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,639 being peeled off, but everyone else's face is kind of emotionless, and they're 131 00:08:50,639 --> 00:08:54,440 just like pointing out a bridge being built. Also that's happening. Yeah yeah, 132 00:08:54,519 --> 00:08:58,159 no, so you were right though. Maria Barbola was a female dwarf 133 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:09,559 from Germany with hydrocephalus, and Nicolasito Portosado was from Italy. They got well 134 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,519 because they didn't just want a normal dwarfs, literally, like the more deformed 135 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,200 the better, please, Like, yeah, make our kids laugh here, 136 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:20,360 I only want the best dwarves for my children, right. Yeah. So 137 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:24,720 these were innocent fools. Um. They were given titles in the way that 138 00:09:24,799 --> 00:09:28,279 like janitor is now called could stodial engineer, you know what. They were 139 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:33,200 given mock titles. Yeah, it's like, uh so like the Queen's fool 140 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:37,440 or Lord whatever's fool. They were not paid. They were just provided with 141 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:43,399 food and clothes and a place to sleep on the floor. They were pets. 142 00:09:43,399 --> 00:09:45,840 They were pets. They were pets. Yeah. So but like later 143 00:09:45,879 --> 00:09:50,159 on, if the noble family decided these poor fools no longer amuse them, 144 00:09:50,159 --> 00:09:52,399 they would just kind of toss them out and they typically died as beggars. 145 00:09:52,799 --> 00:09:58,080 The thing is too, the dwarves probably aren't even that much smaller than normal 146 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,039 people back then. But everyone everyone's like five five. Yeah, I mean 147 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:05,320 people were generally shorter back then. I'd probably say like five to seven was 148 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:13,000 like a normal height, shorter and also kind of more deformed themselves. Oh 149 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,320 yeah, there were a lot kept it, I mean kept it in the 150 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:20,919 family. There's no worth a donal work like I mean, these people look 151 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,320 like night like shit. Yeah. No, I mean if you think about 152 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:28,120 it, like Ian by the normal people. The normal people looked like night 153 00:10:28,279 --> 00:10:31,120 like if you went back in time, which, by the way, if 154 00:10:31,159 --> 00:10:33,000 you get a time machine, you never go back. No, no, 155 00:10:33,639 --> 00:10:37,240 it's always worse. No, Yeah, what do you what do you like? 156 00:10:37,279 --> 00:10:41,320 Yeah, you're like I want to go like see France in the sixteen 157 00:10:41,399 --> 00:10:43,840 hundreds. You will be puking within five minutes. Yeah, just from the 158 00:10:43,879 --> 00:10:48,879 smell of the people, let alone the disease river probably smells like everything smells 159 00:10:48,919 --> 00:10:52,919 like shit. And also like you probably need and just to kind of hammer 160 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,279 home. Even the royalty was pretty in bread, so you probably needed someone 161 00:10:56,279 --> 00:11:01,279 with some physical deformities to feel better about your own like bleeding pale skin, 162 00:11:01,519 --> 00:11:05,440 right yeah. Um, And then of course the last group were amateur fools 163 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:09,320 or fool troops. Now, this is what I did not know. This 164 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,679 is kind of where you get that trope of like the Motley fool the guy 165 00:11:11,759 --> 00:11:16,840 and like the Jester hat. The traditional gester has troops like they're they're troops. 166 00:11:16,879 --> 00:11:24,080 They're both gestures were also troops. Yes, well we'll respect the troops. 167 00:11:24,399 --> 00:11:28,320 Yeah, yeah, no, I will get to noble gestures in the 168 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:35,679 military. Yeah, it's pretty great. But yeah they really just wait Wall 169 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:41,360 Street ship where they're just thrown towards that like little yeah kind of kind of 170 00:11:41,399 --> 00:11:46,559 actually yeah, yes, their word catapulted gestures and we'll get to it. 171 00:11:46,799 --> 00:11:52,000 Yeah, I assume among them dwarves, not so them on fire and then 172 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:56,519 they just launched they probably maybe, but not quite the way. It's there's 173 00:11:56,600 --> 00:12:00,559 circumstances that lead up to us. Yeah, yeah, it's there's a whole 174 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,679 process before you just throw a Jester into a catapult. Dan Tribute. Rather, 175 00:12:03,759 --> 00:12:07,720 we're team Tributche here on the podcast. We are not catapult people. 176 00:12:07,919 --> 00:12:11,240 Yeah, I mean Trebuche's were obviously the far superior weapons and age of empires 177 00:12:11,279 --> 00:12:15,879 too. They're just by far them play that right. No, we've we've 178 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:22,240 I just know that Trebuchees or superior from Reddit because there's a entire subreddit about 179 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:26,360 Trebuchez. Yeah, why not, and how they're superior to I couldn't spell 180 00:12:28,039 --> 00:12:31,320 pretty, it's pretty pretty easy, pretty fanatic. There's a there's a guy 181 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:35,879 used to know named Troy Bouche. Troy Bouche, I'd call him. That's 182 00:12:35,919 --> 00:12:39,159 that's tight. Yeah, that was a good name anyway. Yeah, So 183 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,879 these full troops, they'd roll around town to town. They were like your 184 00:12:41,919 --> 00:12:46,120 traveling band of like people trying to get some money for doing stuff. They 185 00:12:46,159 --> 00:12:50,960 were like the shitty improv troup. So like the first group that the first 186 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,840 group Jake mentioned would be like your famous comedians, you know what I mean, 187 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,440 like your Dave Chappelle's and your yeah, Louis c k is. The 188 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:03,279 second is those are human slaves. The second group is just pets, human 189 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:11,960 human pet slaves. Yeah. Um, there's really no modern equivalent, like 190 00:13:13,039 --> 00:13:18,440 whoever makes Trump laugh? And the third group would be like, yeah, 191 00:13:18,519 --> 00:13:22,120 like oh, we're going to uh see Second City, Chicago tonight. Yeah, 192 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:26,519 but situation right exactly. Group. There's no fourth group JPV group. 193 00:13:26,399 --> 00:13:30,679 That's that's that's a bad version of the third group. I don't have an 194 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,279 improv group. Used to I didn't have an imp and Jared did. Well, 195 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,919 we were in a class. What was your name? We didn't have 196 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,480 a name, just Josh. I believe it was though. Okay. One 197 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:43,240 thing you'll if you go watch a lot of improv you learn is that, 198 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,960 like every improv group's name is an inside joke that isn't even that funny. 199 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:50,679 Yeah, it's like our comedy album. It's like, but that wasn't even 200 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:58,480 an inside joke that really just like to make it something like something like fluffy 201 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,720 Waffle or some yeah, yeah she's waffle or yeah, you know it was 202 00:14:01,759 --> 00:14:07,440 a bouche idea. Yeah, so yeah, I'm not gonna rag on that 203 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,960 too much harder. But yeah, no, go buy spare bedroom. It's 204 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,840 available something. I think it's free. Now, it's free somewhere. If 205 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:15,879 you paid for it, you're not getting a refund. No, no recounts, 206 00:14:15,879 --> 00:14:20,440 no refund money. Yeah, it's still in the it's still in the 207 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,399 account, is it really? Yeah? Could we leverage that into something? 208 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:26,000 No, it's like two hundred dollars. That's a lot. Yeah, well 209 00:14:26,039 --> 00:14:28,480 that's good for I'll take it. Yeah, we could. We should have 210 00:14:28,519 --> 00:14:31,120 a Christmas party with that? All right, why not? We should have 211 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:35,080 a Christmas party party at my house? Can we get Can we get a 212 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:39,480 dwarf jester? That would be the entire budget. By the way, speaking 213 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,960 of that, actually you're going to talk dwarf jester is really quick. I 214 00:14:43,039 --> 00:14:48,519 do. When when I was working at when we were working at TFM uh 215 00:14:48,559 --> 00:14:54,360 and I was dating that SMU girl. I went up to SMU because my 216 00:14:54,399 --> 00:14:58,279 cousin was in a fraternity there, and that's when I met whatever. And 217 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,799 uh, so I went to one of his for chorney parties. I won't 218 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,120 mention in the house because they'd probably get in trouble for it now and this 219 00:15:03,159 --> 00:15:05,600 is like eight years ago, so it wouldn't even be the right kids to 220 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,279 get in trouble. Um, they had a Christmas party. Uh. This 221 00:15:09,399 --> 00:15:15,519 fraternity did at a bar around SMU somewhere in Dallas. Um, like right 222 00:15:15,559 --> 00:15:18,960 across somewhere. A bunch of the kids lived on like right off campus, 223 00:15:18,519 --> 00:15:24,480 and um they hired real midgets to be elves and walk around the party serving 224 00:15:24,559 --> 00:15:28,720 drinks. I imagine they probably had those guys on retainer for like derby parties 225 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,919 to be the jockeys too. Yeah, you know, I never went to 226 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:39,639 a derby party, but they looked up away to hire dwarves to be their 227 00:15:39,679 --> 00:15:41,840 elves for the night and got like four of them. I don't know how 228 00:15:41,879 --> 00:15:46,200 much they paid them. Like, do you think did you talk to Anny 229 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:50,320 I was black out? I probably did, Yeah, I probably did. 230 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:54,480 There's nothing wrong with it either. These dwarfs are there, yeah, they 231 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:56,759 weren't. It was they didn't happen at knife Let's let's let's let's be clear 232 00:15:56,799 --> 00:16:00,600 here. There's little people. This is their model. I think dwarf is 233 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:04,759 Is it more acceptable? You know, it's hard. That's one these freaking 234 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:11,720 horrifying episode right now. Sorry listeners. Yeah, I thought dwarf was accepted 235 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,919 an acceptable to I don't know. Okay, who knows. But I mean, 236 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,159 these people, this is their business. This is how they make their 237 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,240 lives. I assume they were like literally actors and they went on like a 238 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:23,240 local acting website or put it at out on Craigslist. I mean, you 239 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:30,960 get paid. This didn't happen at knife Point. There wasn't a blade like 240 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,080 rambunctious SMU for at boys going around. They were like, you know, 241 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:38,799 dance animal like wasn't but just for that, for the sake of that story. 242 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:44,799 Yeah, two generations removed. Yeah years. Yeah, and I didn't 243 00:16:44,799 --> 00:16:45,600 even know it was gonna be there. So I walk in and I was 244 00:16:45,639 --> 00:16:52,080 like huh, Like god, damn SMU. Al Right, So just a 245 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:56,159 little bit of a historical breakdown on gestures though, Like you don't really start 246 00:16:56,240 --> 00:17:00,600 seeing titles for fools until about the twelfth century, but we can pretty much 247 00:17:00,639 --> 00:17:04,400 know that these kind of people have been around since like Pharaoh times, yeah, 248 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,240 since Egypt. Yeah, so there's always been kind of a position of 249 00:17:07,279 --> 00:17:12,079 someone that can, for whatever reason, talk straight at the leader. And 250 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,559 you know, throughout monarchy that's something you're not allowed to do. You're not 251 00:17:15,599 --> 00:17:19,359 allowed to naysay a king or tell them they're wrong or being stupid. But 252 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,960 this kind of position came out of a necessity for a king to be able 253 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,279 to check themselves. So like the fool will be like, oh, you 254 00:17:26,279 --> 00:17:30,359 think that's a good idea, that's cute. Kings are people too, Yeah, 255 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:34,119 but in so doing they actually became kind of a confidant. A lot 256 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,880 of times, they actually had kind of a place of privilege and court therapist 257 00:17:37,759 --> 00:17:41,480 in a way. Isn't after the best medicine, Dan, you gotta think, 258 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,440 Yeah, it's also sometimes the best war strategy, as we'll get into 259 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,039 that in a minute. And I know you're excited about that. But we 260 00:17:47,039 --> 00:17:51,559 start seeing the more common our version of gestures that we think of starting in 261 00:17:51,599 --> 00:17:55,279 the twelfth century with the title of Fallus so close to Fallus, it's already 262 00:17:55,279 --> 00:17:56,920 got a dick joke in there. Yeah, and I actually found a fart 263 00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,000 joke in it too. Oh yeah, there's far jokes school One, There 264 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,640 are far but I mean in the name itself. Yeah, point the sound. 265 00:18:04,279 --> 00:18:07,319 I thought you would take the high road here. Yeah, right, 266 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:11,599 Well, dick is higher than fart for sure. First off, back to 267 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:15,160 like the type of jesters really quick. One of the things in like Tutor 268 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:19,279 England was that they were like licensed fools, Yeah, which I thought sounded 269 00:18:19,279 --> 00:18:25,759 like a terrible Fairly Brothers movie. Yeah, definitely like a just like I 270 00:18:25,799 --> 00:18:27,839 mean, yeah, just someone's going to make someone's going to write a horrible 271 00:18:29,519 --> 00:18:33,519 about the movie that they dream of Jim Carey being in called Licensed Fools. 272 00:18:33,839 --> 00:18:36,839 Yea, but how fun? Where is it? Okay? Oh yeah, 273 00:18:37,039 --> 00:18:40,039 did the I wrote this down and does the word fool come from the Latin 274 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,960 for fart, So the root of the word fool comes from the Latin fallut, 275 00:18:44,279 --> 00:18:48,519 right, will you say it sounds like fallast? The literal meaning is 276 00:18:48,759 --> 00:18:55,240 bag of wind which or bellows, which bellows, or that which contains air 277 00:18:55,359 --> 00:19:02,160 or breadth. But but but what if just a tinfoil theory here, What 278 00:19:02,319 --> 00:19:07,079 if fallus or bag of wind, you know, the sort of stayed pull 279 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:12,119 up my tie, uh, Latin translators of the Middle Ages and then especially 280 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:17,720 of like Victorian times and stuff like that. What if they kind of gave 281 00:19:17,759 --> 00:19:21,599 it the more proper meaning. But since clearly we're going to learn that farting 282 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:26,119 has been hysterical throughout all of history, yeah, you can go back on 283 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:33,279 that Ancient Sumerians, Yeah, sumer Ancient Summer or The Sumerians episode episode three, 284 00:19:33,319 --> 00:19:37,000 I believe, Yeah, farting has been funny for so long that what 285 00:19:37,079 --> 00:19:40,880 it actually meant when they said bag of wind was like a guy who just 286 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:44,200 made people laugh in the streets by like farting at them. And then but 287 00:19:44,319 --> 00:19:45,839 you know, like someone put their monocle in and was like, UT's not 288 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,519 going any further, and they're like, you just meant like a wind bag 289 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:56,119 like you full of hotter. But like really, I I am not. 290 00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:00,559 This is it's my conspiracy theory. But fallus meaning bag of wind, If 291 00:20:00,599 --> 00:20:03,880 that's what where a fool comes from, I think it's in reference to farting, 292 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:08,000 not to people who talk a lot, basically would be the other way 293 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,240 to put it. No, And I think that's a fairer. That's a 294 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:12,680 fair guest to me, because like if you look at like ancient like, 295 00:20:12,839 --> 00:20:18,279 uh, what are like the Trappist monks and stuff like that. Um, 296 00:20:18,559 --> 00:20:21,319 I think I'm saying the wrong term. But the monks, like the people 297 00:20:21,319 --> 00:20:23,519 that lived in monasteries back in the times, if you look at their old 298 00:20:23,559 --> 00:20:27,559 books and bibles and like notes, Yeah, there's dicks all over the insights. 299 00:20:27,559 --> 00:20:30,640 Oh dude, like dick's riding horses fighting each other shit like that. 300 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,720 It's hilarious. I think. I think next week the topic I was gonna 301 00:20:33,759 --> 00:20:37,519 do was the Pompeii graffiti. Oh, that's a good one. And so 302 00:20:37,519 --> 00:20:41,359 this doesn't have to do with Pompeii. Although they talk about dicks a bunch 303 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,960 in that. What about the picture of the good yea, yeah, but 304 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:49,720 they found dicks. They found dicks inscribed or drawn all over Hadrian's Wall. 305 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,319 What is that? It's the wall the Romans built in England to keep out 306 00:20:53,319 --> 00:21:00,279 the Mexicans. I don't know if that adds up. Keep going will keep 307 00:21:00,279 --> 00:21:07,200 out England's Mexican, Irish, the Scottish. No, like the Romans built 308 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:11,200 Hadrian's Wall. I forget where exactly on the island, but they they made 309 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:15,680 them pay for that damn wall. Yeah, but no, it's it's essentially 310 00:21:15,759 --> 00:21:19,000 like their border wall to keep out the barbarians on the island. Yeah. 311 00:21:19,039 --> 00:21:23,759 You look at like the wall in uh, what is it Berlin? Right, 312 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,440 the Berlin Wall, and it's got like all these messages of hope and 313 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:30,880 stuff like that. Just crazy, Probably cocks all over the Berlin there's got 314 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,599 to be dicks. Yeah, how many dicks are on the Great Wall of 315 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:37,599 China? Well, I don't know, do you get executed anything? Yes? 316 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,000 Probably? No one's ever been allowed to speak in China. Yeah, 317 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:48,160 ever, that's never been a thing. It's a very quiet country. But 318 00:21:48,279 --> 00:21:55,039 so yeah, these people started coming up with like they started becoming more relevant 319 00:21:55,279 --> 00:21:59,519 as titled people, as titled fools. In the twelfth century, some of 320 00:21:59,559 --> 00:22:02,680 the oh no, yeah, you're at all. Yeah, so, uh, 321 00:22:03,079 --> 00:22:04,880 they would often be like I said, rewarded with lands his payment for 322 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:10,680 loyal services. But noblemen and even kings did not throw daily banquets and uh, 323 00:22:10,839 --> 00:22:12,559 you know, like listening to the same joke every night would be kind 324 00:22:12,559 --> 00:22:15,359 of a drag. So they actually had to do a lot of normal stuff 325 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:19,440 around the castle stead or the homestead of the noble They would you know, 326 00:22:19,559 --> 00:22:22,240 tend to the hounds, they would go get groceries, things like that. 327 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:26,559 They would actually do. He couldn't just do an hour long whatever the like 328 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,680 podcast equivalent would be like the king just sits there and watch him and his 329 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:33,319 buddy talk for an hour and a half about whatever happened that day. Seriously, 330 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,920 like I don't know what's happening now. Then these people knew back then, 331 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,240 too much contents a bad thing. You're gonna you're gonna hurt your brand 332 00:22:40,279 --> 00:22:41,720 real quick. Yeah no, they were like, no, we're just doing 333 00:22:41,759 --> 00:22:45,920 it a banquets, going to limit it to half hour. It's about the 334 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,359 bachelor at Yeah, that's why Dave Chappelle's grade. He comes up with a 335 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:53,759 special like once every ten years, two in the last year or two done 336 00:22:53,799 --> 00:22:57,400 five in the last like three years has he Yeah, still had one. 337 00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,400 Didn't really care. They've kind of didn't build up. Yeah, one was 338 00:23:02,039 --> 00:23:04,160 reactionary to George Floyd. I feel like there weren't jo I'm talking about. 339 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:11,319 There's two. There's the Bird Theory one all on Netflix. There's like five 340 00:23:11,839 --> 00:23:15,640 okay, yeah, but really though, no Jester podcasts, No, just 341 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,720 a Jester in his pal and they're just like God the hounds today, what's 342 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:25,119 a deal just then would have been So do you ever notice how like maidens 343 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:29,519 will not talk to you after you've been shoveling hound shit? For dude, 344 00:23:29,559 --> 00:23:33,039 I think is the ad sponsors they would get brought to you by Burlap, 345 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:37,480 the best sack clothing money can buy. Burlap, You and hamm advertisements are 346 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:41,599 there even like it's like, I don't think there are advertisements in a feudal 347 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,559 system, but there, I mean there's there's a little bit of business like 348 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:49,759 White like a like a tavern or something. Sure, James Tavern, the 349 00:23:49,839 --> 00:23:56,039 only tavern in town, White Deer Tavern, the only tavern in town mentioned 350 00:23:56,039 --> 00:23:59,720 our podcasts. You would get a free nothing because it's the only tavern in 351 00:23:59,759 --> 00:24:07,039 town. They ordered the market Nathan's Blacksmith, Nathan he does medal. Good 352 00:24:07,079 --> 00:24:10,720 for both people like Naden Blacksmith. You can't afford it, do you fight? 353 00:24:11,319 --> 00:24:14,799 Don't go there? Yeah all right. So by the thirteenth century, 354 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:19,079 some talented jesters were beginning to achieve like superstar status. They were actually like 355 00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:22,839 what Rob was saying, like they were considered like stand up comedians today. 356 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:26,319 They were quick witted, they dry, they were awesome in a small and 357 00:24:26,319 --> 00:24:30,599 they did other stuff though too. These guys were like it'd be like the 358 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:36,480 almost more like a Donald Glover type yeah, where you could do stand up 359 00:24:36,519 --> 00:24:41,720 and sing and yeah, so like you you had, Yeah, you had 360 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,680 to be able to do what. You had to be able to like juggle, 361 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,240 you had to be able to like play instruments. You had to be 362 00:24:47,279 --> 00:24:48,839 able to tell jokes, good political jokes, political chicks. You had to 363 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:53,720 be able to tell political just like my fanny. Oh, there was a 364 00:24:53,759 --> 00:24:56,680 lot of that, was that, there was so much of that. There 365 00:24:56,759 --> 00:25:00,240 was a couple that were like apparently so good, like they'd have people in 366 00:25:00,319 --> 00:25:03,279 tears just from poking their head out from behind the curtain. Yeah, like 367 00:25:03,319 --> 00:25:06,799 I think this one guy. So, for instance, you gotta play the 368 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:08,839 hits Yeah, you gotta do the hits, and one of the biggest hits 369 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:15,799 was farting a tune. Farting big hit faring songs. Yeah, so one 370 00:25:15,799 --> 00:25:18,920 of the more famous tune. To be fair, though, someone would go 371 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:26,599 megaviral today if they farted music. Yes, yeah, it's it's transcending has 372 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:30,960 changed, it transcends time. Yeah, farts boobs. There was that girl 373 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,960 who used to jingle her tits to the beat of a song. She made 374 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:37,240 a living doing that. God, we are such simple naked monkeys. I 375 00:25:37,319 --> 00:25:41,640 love it. It's great. We are such worths. One of the most 376 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:47,519 famous fools of all time was Roland left Fartere or, as you can guess, 377 00:25:47,519 --> 00:25:51,240 it translates to Rolling the Farter. I've never heard of him, Well, 378 00:25:51,319 --> 00:25:55,240 Dana shit to me. Yeah, never heard of this guy. He's 379 00:25:55,279 --> 00:25:57,240 pretty mainstream. I mean, he's probably good start for you. But if 380 00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:00,160 you want to get into someone a little bit better, I'll give you some 381 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:04,279 like more deep cut gestures. But Roland the Farter was a medieval flatulist. 382 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:08,279 Was it was a word I love? Yeah, I like that was still 383 00:26:08,279 --> 00:26:11,400 a time. I mean, I guess you do it now too, but 384 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,240 like that was still a time. In the English language when they had to 385 00:26:14,319 --> 00:26:18,000 make up words for everything, like now we'll make up stuff for certain things 386 00:26:18,039 --> 00:26:22,599 like texting it. But like literally like only half the language was invented. 387 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:33,039 So he was really popular. And each year he was obliged to perform his 388 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:37,759 act unham saltam at siphlatum as unham bumble them, which is one jump, 389 00:26:38,279 --> 00:26:42,759 one whistle, and one fart for the king. He did it every year 390 00:26:42,839 --> 00:26:48,480 at Christmas during the feast, Like can you imagine, like that's imagine you're 391 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:52,000 like a pretty normal Christmas to me. Imagine you're at like a fancy dinner, 392 00:26:52,039 --> 00:26:56,720 Like you go to the governor's house for Christmas dinner. Yeah you don't. 393 00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:00,279 And sorry, you don't go to governor's house. That's true. I'm 394 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,279 hill people. You are hill, you're a hill person. Then you would 395 00:27:03,319 --> 00:27:07,079 have been the one farting. Um. So anyway, imagine going to like 396 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:11,559 uh Greg Abbott's house. He's you know, wheels up to the tables, 397 00:27:11,559 --> 00:27:12,279 like all right, I got a big old piece of brisket for you, 398 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:17,759 but first we got to bring in old roll in the fart. Like you're 399 00:27:17,799 --> 00:27:22,960 in this like white tide dinner and this guy like rolls in like jumps up, 400 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:29,319 clicks his heels, and goes oh yeah, like he loved everyone undoubtedly 401 00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:32,920 showed his dick too. Oh yeah, for sure. I didn't. Basically 402 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:36,519 like the equivalent of not the equivalent of like it just like Gallagher walks into 403 00:27:36,519 --> 00:27:38,440 a room, smashes a water matt like he does the one thing everybody wants 404 00:27:38,519 --> 00:27:42,119 him to do, right, Yeah, exactly, it's just like bring out 405 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:47,319 a hammer, bro Yeah yeah, fart fart for us, like far far, 406 00:27:47,599 --> 00:27:51,400 far far, Like this isn't nine year olds dinner, Like if nine 407 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,720 year olds hosted a dinner. Yeah. I kind of have a theory that, 408 00:27:53,839 --> 00:27:59,559 like they this is really short changing human beings prior to like nineteen fifty. 409 00:27:59,799 --> 00:28:07,119 But that's that's allowable for nineteen twenty. But like I feel like like 410 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:15,200 the reason like comedy is so uh layered and redundant and intense now is because 411 00:28:17,039 --> 00:28:19,759 we have so little to worry about. Yeah, there's just way more time 412 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:26,799 to ruminate on life. It's very trying to keep it. Yeah, no, 413 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:30,720 everything is. All the comedians out there right now probably just lost their 414 00:28:30,839 --> 00:28:33,559 entire sick because Trump's out of the office, so yeah, or just I 415 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,279 mean, like think about there's a lot of social media people that a lot 416 00:28:36,319 --> 00:28:40,279 of terrible, terrible comedians. The most ancious people too, in the world 417 00:28:40,359 --> 00:28:45,359 probably are those that perform humor for others. And it's because life is so 418 00:28:45,519 --> 00:28:49,880 low stakes they have to manufacture fake hypotheticals to be anxious about right enough to 419 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:52,920 create a set off of it. Yeah, that's my process. I don't 420 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:57,480 know, not like, Yeah, nobody's worried about getting drafted into like a 421 00:28:57,599 --> 00:29:03,559 pike brigade. No, every every summer they're like, oh my god, 422 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:07,559 we're invading France again. Why because he wants it? Yeah. No, 423 00:29:07,119 --> 00:29:11,880 one's getting mauled by a rogue lion side. No. No, so you're 424 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:17,519 not getting You're not like cutting your knee and then just dying just infection. 425 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:21,839 Yeah, Like it really is, like, you know, it is really 426 00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:23,920 disingenuous to tell like people in general to be like, you know what, 427 00:29:25,559 --> 00:29:30,599 just suck it up, pretty fucking get. But also we have it bretty 428 00:29:30,799 --> 00:29:33,599 fucking even for like the world. Now, let's not complaining about America so 429 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,920 much to the point where it's like, oh, hey, look look around 430 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:41,079 and see what's happening in other countries. Oh, yes, that's the that's 431 00:29:41,119 --> 00:29:44,240 the office rubbing off on you. Dan, you set the barcelo for us, 432 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,559 But well I do, but they they can't. By the way, 433 00:29:48,839 --> 00:29:57,240 that's why all of the best comedy comes from like Anglo countries basically comes from 434 00:29:57,279 --> 00:30:00,759 the most comfortable country, not even but there are comfort countries where it doesn't 435 00:30:00,759 --> 00:30:03,599 come from. Like, are there funny Germans? Russia? Are there funny 436 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:10,160 Russians? No? Yakov Smirnoff has entered the chat. Yea ever been to 437 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,119 Branson, Missouri? Like, there's not a lot of funny French people, 438 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,920 Ricky Gervais, Actually is what I said. It's like the only the only 439 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,720 two funny countries are the United States in England, but I would add Canada 440 00:30:18,759 --> 00:30:25,680 and Australia and New Zealand too. Sure again the funniest they have super low 441 00:30:25,799 --> 00:30:30,319 steaks. There's like life of steak countries. Yeah, you're not getting like 442 00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:34,160 a stand up comedian out of Syria, dude, that would be some rough 443 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:38,799 comedy. Yeah, Like right, it's because it's it's stuff that their topics 444 00:30:38,839 --> 00:30:45,000 are low stakes too to an extent. But even the political topics aren't very 445 00:30:45,039 --> 00:30:48,119 aren't very No one's getting murdered. The tably don't even have time to think 446 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:52,640 about joking. Yeah, they're just like, oh, they're surviving. It's 447 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:56,559 all or their jokes. I will say this too, would and this is 448 00:30:56,599 --> 00:31:02,160 probably true of people back then, is their jokes are very um like foxhole 449 00:31:02,319 --> 00:31:04,799 humor, gallows humor, where like it's funny in the moment. I'm sure 450 00:31:04,839 --> 00:31:07,519 they were there. People were just as funny like in the moment then as 451 00:31:07,559 --> 00:31:12,559 any other time throughout human history. But like, no one can head into 452 00:31:12,559 --> 00:31:18,119 there's no act. It's observational, it's but in but only in like the 453 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,359 most immediate of ways. The way it's just like, well that happened, 454 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:26,519 Yeah, I mean right foot it's dangling off his legs. Yeah, I 455 00:31:26,599 --> 00:31:30,559 hope he doesn't have to go for a run. No one has dari and 456 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,720 no one had to think out and that, by the way, that translates 457 00:31:33,759 --> 00:31:36,720 to like kind of I mean, look, they were like transcendent works throughout 458 00:31:36,759 --> 00:31:41,279 time too, but they were far fewer than you know, like there was 459 00:31:41,319 --> 00:31:45,599 an anchorman for example a century. Yeah, instead of every five years, 460 00:31:47,279 --> 00:31:49,759 you know what I mean, like uh, some kind of transcendent work um 461 00:31:52,119 --> 00:31:53,720 or you know, like you know, there's like every decade of the last 462 00:31:53,799 --> 00:31:59,200 like fifty years has like five brilliant comedies. Ok, justin movies alone. 463 00:31:59,359 --> 00:32:02,079 Sure, as before that, if you good centuries, But was it. 464 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:06,680 What I was gonna say was, um, I might have lost my train 465 00:32:06,759 --> 00:32:07,759 thought. That's okay, I know whatever. Well, yeah, what you're 466 00:32:07,799 --> 00:32:10,079 getting at too, it's like the only reason we even know about these guys 467 00:32:10,119 --> 00:32:15,559 because they were in the noble court and like they had they were the only 468 00:32:15,599 --> 00:32:17,599 people that probably had access right on this level of humor. I know what 469 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:21,519 I was gonna say. Yeah, Uh, the proof of it is even 470 00:32:21,559 --> 00:32:25,079 when you go back to like watch the first comedies of like the Silent movie 471 00:32:25,119 --> 00:32:30,599 era and stuff. I mean, it is some chaplain basic yeah, basic 472 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:35,720 things like it's all physical falling down and they don't really like farter Ship because 473 00:32:35,759 --> 00:32:40,519 there's you know, Jesus looks like Hitler. Yeah. Um, but uh 474 00:32:42,079 --> 00:32:45,720 it's really really basic. Yeah, it's it's it's a really base level of 475 00:32:45,799 --> 00:32:50,519 just subvertic expectations. So many's educated people, though do I was impressed by 476 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:52,519 a lot of like phrase turning that they had as well, but I just 477 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:58,000 think it was not nearly as prevalent. No, man, like they were 478 00:32:58,079 --> 00:33:00,400 trying to lighten the mood and make simple coal jests and stuff like that. 479 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:07,720 So anyway, talking about the superstar status, an example of one superstar jester 480 00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:13,440 would be like Tom the Fool, he performed the marriage feast at Edward the 481 00:33:13,519 --> 00:33:17,759 first daughter the Kevin Hard of his time. Yeah, and that's a like 482 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:21,799 a stadium gig. Yeah. So no, it was because he was given 483 00:33:21,799 --> 00:33:24,160 a fee of fifty shillings, which was a fortune at the time. Yeah, 484 00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:30,200 Like so a skilled thatcher, for instance, could expect about two and 485 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,839 a half pence. Nobody even he made, like, nobody knows what he 486 00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:36,759 made. I tried to look this up. What a shilling? Which like 487 00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:39,160 people his harnts were like, you're asking a dumb question. Yeah, it's 488 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:44,000 it's he made just a ball's load of money. They like, basically, 489 00:33:44,079 --> 00:33:47,279 the best way to convert it would be a whole goose would be one and 490 00:33:47,319 --> 00:33:52,559 a halfpence. What is a pence? Pence is one one hundredth of like 491 00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:57,160 a shilling, I believe. Okay, so you could eat he was eating, 492 00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:00,720 like, yeat enough for fifty five thousand geese. That's a lot. 493 00:34:00,839 --> 00:34:05,759 Yeah, that's enough to feed you forever. Blake back then, however, 494 00:34:06,119 --> 00:34:09,800 you know along with a lot of the fortune there one or some bad parts. 495 00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:15,480 Being selected as a personal jester of a medieval king or nobleman came with 496 00:34:15,559 --> 00:34:20,119 a serious health warning. Jesters were often required to go to the battlefield with 497 00:34:20,199 --> 00:34:24,199 their masters. It sounds like pretty much always. Yeah, they were there 498 00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:28,559 all the time. Yeah, they wherever the king was. They were the 499 00:34:28,679 --> 00:34:31,360 army's hype man. Essentially, at this point, the jester, from what 500 00:34:31,519 --> 00:34:40,159 I could tell, the jester turns into from the king's personal comedian to like 501 00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:46,440 an NFL team's mascot. Yeah, so he basically so a couple of different 502 00:34:46,559 --> 00:34:52,679 roles that the jester would play in wartime. Just to start, we'll start 503 00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:57,119 from lowest the highest. So things he would do for the soldiers would be, 504 00:34:57,199 --> 00:34:59,800 you know, obviously, you know, he'd hype dudes up. He'd 505 00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:01,599 make jokes about the other side, say they have small dicks, they don't 506 00:35:01,639 --> 00:35:05,239 know they're asked from their teeth, things like that, or their asked from 507 00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:07,519 their face, like asking their teeth, Yeah, ask they don't know the 508 00:35:07,559 --> 00:35:12,920 rest from their teeth, teeth in their assholes. For a bunch of brutish 509 00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,079 soldiers that would probably slay You're like, oh my god, yeah, yeah, 510 00:35:15,199 --> 00:35:19,239 he's French. They eat with their butts. Yeah. Um. But 511 00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:23,639 they would also do juggling. They would juggle shit on the front lines to 512 00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:27,159 fuck with the other side. They'd like, wait a minute, they don't 513 00:35:27,199 --> 00:35:30,840 care so much. This guy's juggling access. Yeah, he's like, who's 514 00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:32,800 this guy? Oh my god, Like imagine. So the other side would 515 00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:36,440 just be like, wait, hold on, that's their gesture. Our guys 516 00:35:36,519 --> 00:35:39,159 over here juggling spikes. Yeah, just get into a duel. They just 517 00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:43,159 meet in the middle. It's like, actually, let's settle this the old 518 00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:51,440 way battle. Yeah, just juggling back and champion versus champion. But interestingly 519 00:35:51,639 --> 00:35:55,199 enough, when it came time for actual scuffling, the jesture was a part 520 00:35:55,199 --> 00:36:00,079 of psychological warfare. The jesture was used to out right go out in front 521 00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:07,679 and taunt the other side, just to invoke the rage of the hot Yeah. 522 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:08,679 He would just go out and say like, you won't break rank, 523 00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:13,599 bitch like, And that was in order to get the hot headed people to 524 00:36:13,639 --> 00:36:19,519 break rank and lower their defensive position. I actually love that. That's great. 525 00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:22,159 Yeah, they basically just sent out a bullbater. They were like, 526 00:36:22,559 --> 00:36:27,280 it's a rodeo clown. For an entire opposing army, like, hey, 527 00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:30,639 come fucking killing me, bitches, I'm throwing knives around, Like, well, 528 00:36:30,639 --> 00:36:32,480 don't you break rank and let up on that defense a little bit? 529 00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:37,000 You guys suck Like That's what he did. So that's one of the things 530 00:36:37,079 --> 00:36:40,000 that the jester would do. Do you know? Okay, I don't know 531 00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:43,880 if you're gonna mention this guy or not. Um, I might get to 532 00:36:44,039 --> 00:36:46,559 have a whole list of just different anecdotes about different jesters coming in battle. 533 00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:51,400 Um no, not in battle? Go ahead, all right? Uh? 534 00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:53,400 Where the fuck did I write this? Yeah? I don't know. I'm 535 00:36:53,519 --> 00:37:00,159 like really out of it today. Essentially, at the Battle of Hastings, 536 00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:07,960 Um, sorry, anyway, at the Battle of Hastings, William the conqueror 537 00:37:08,079 --> 00:37:13,760 is Gesture pissed off the Anglo Saxons so bad that they killed him. They 538 00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:15,119 were like, he's like, you you know, you're not gonna break red, 539 00:37:15,199 --> 00:37:21,960 you have no nicks. And they caught him. They caught him before 540 00:37:22,079 --> 00:37:24,480 he could get back to the lines, and they I don't know how they 541 00:37:24,599 --> 00:37:30,880 killed him, but he got stabbed up pretty good. I would imagine it's 542 00:37:30,119 --> 00:37:35,360 I imagine like the Indiana Jones scene. Where the guys like whipping knives around 543 00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:37,239 and stuff like that, and then like it gets real somber on Indiana, 544 00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:39,920 Jones just like kills him. Enough of that. But yeah, at the 545 00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:44,199 Battle of Hastings, which is one of the biggest battles in the history of 546 00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:46,960 the Western world, the guy was out there doing his thing and the Saxons 547 00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,760 were like, you know, I'm getting on a horse and just shutting this 548 00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:53,239 guy up. This is a big war, can we be a little bit? 549 00:37:54,159 --> 00:37:58,360 Gesture did not die in vain. No, he was winning the conquerors, 550 00:37:58,559 --> 00:38:01,880 uh guy, and William the Conqueror got that name for a reason. 551 00:38:02,119 --> 00:38:05,880 He conquered things. Yeah, conquered England won that battle. He would have 552 00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:07,360 never conquered without that jester. No, you know, I don't know, 553 00:38:08,159 --> 00:38:12,679 Well, what was his record like after the Jester got his head taken off? 554 00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:16,639 Pretty good? Yeah a that. Yeah, so you know he's still 555 00:38:16,679 --> 00:38:21,519 like Belichick and the Jester's more like Tom Brady. The Jester might be Wes 556 00:38:21,639 --> 00:38:27,920 Welker. Yeah really not that consequence. You know, he put up numbers, 557 00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:30,840 but they found another one, the better one. So often though, 558 00:38:31,159 --> 00:38:37,159 what the jester would have to do was like if the king had a message 559 00:38:37,199 --> 00:38:39,760 for the other side. The jester would have to take those messages to the 560 00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:43,519 warring side and be like, hey, you know, like maybe in terms 561 00:38:43,519 --> 00:38:49,800 of conditions for surrender or releasing hostages, things of negotiation and um kill the 562 00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:52,559 messenger was often what they would do. If they found the message or terms 563 00:38:52,639 --> 00:38:59,960 insulting. UM jesters would often be beheaded and have their heads put into catapult 564 00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:05,840 and that would be the we decline your negotiation. Yeah, like peace passed? 565 00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:07,800 Did you just send their whole body with them? I Actually the way 566 00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:12,760 I read that was that they actually would sometimes just catapult them alive, just 567 00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:17,599 like you're sitting there and you see like this colorful man playings. Oh my 568 00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:22,639 god, shit, they don't want to surrender, you know what's wild? 569 00:39:22,679 --> 00:39:27,639 Though, honestly I would take that because yes, you're you're for certain gonna 570 00:39:27,639 --> 00:39:31,440 splat on the ground or a wall or something. But that like fifteen seconds 571 00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:35,679 in the air is gonna be pretty cool. It's the hot Well, first 572 00:39:35,679 --> 00:39:37,280 off, it's the highlight of your life probably, yeah, I mean it's 573 00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:40,280 almost like a miracle. Like you have no tall buildings, right, that 574 00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:45,480 might be the highest you ever like ascend the earth, right for sure. 575 00:39:45,599 --> 00:39:49,159 The highest anyone gets is probably a jester that has to deliver bad news. 576 00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:52,519 Yeah at that time, Yeah, the closest to human flight. It's crazy 577 00:39:52,559 --> 00:39:54,920 because he's so low to the ground normally. Yeah. So, and they 578 00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:59,320 weren't sending those ones he experienced the highest. They weren't sending their slave pets. 579 00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:00,880 Oh yeah, the if pets were not going dude, they were not 580 00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:06,320 going to battle unless they really I guess, but some did. Some did 581 00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:10,760 go to battle. One Jeffrey Hudson. Yeah, so this is the royal 582 00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:15,519 dwarf. The royal dwarfs. So by the Elizabeth the period, justice were 583 00:40:15,559 --> 00:40:20,159 beginning to move away from performing in houses to becoming comic actors on the stage, 584 00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:22,320 and by the seventeenth century it was becoming quite dangerous to have a royal 585 00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:29,119 patron, as Jeffrey Hudson was to discover. Jeffrey was a talented dwarf jester, 586 00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:32,360 although he the way I read it was he wasn't an actual dwarf. 587 00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:35,920 He was just short. He was really short. Yeah, like he wasn't 588 00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:40,000 he didn't have whatever the condition is. He just was you can be I 589 00:40:40,119 --> 00:40:44,199 think this is where we'll get into hot water. But I always believe the 590 00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:49,400 term midget was for people that were proportional, just small, where his warfism 591 00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:52,599 is in proportional. Yeah again, I'm not a doctor, and don't quote 592 00:40:52,639 --> 00:41:00,639 me on that. So great intro. Jeffrey Hudson was like this dwarf jester. 593 00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:06,079 He was encountered by Charles the First when the jester jumped out from under 594 00:41:06,119 --> 00:41:08,679 a pie crust. So I guess they just baked him into a big pie. 595 00:41:09,599 --> 00:41:13,480 Yeah, there's something like that. He was like the first stripper cake. 596 00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:15,599 Yeah, he was pretty much the first stripper. And that's how you 597 00:41:15,679 --> 00:41:19,440 know shit was bad back then, was because instead of like a stripper and 598 00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:22,440 a cake, you got a dwarf and a pie. That's a way less 599 00:41:22,599 --> 00:41:29,039 good version of that. But he traveled with Queen Henrietta Queen Henrietta Maria when 600 00:41:29,079 --> 00:41:31,159 she fled to Holland, and returned with her to England to fight on horseback 601 00:41:31,199 --> 00:41:34,920 for the Royalist during the Civil War, Yeah, the English Civil War. 602 00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:38,000 Yeah, and he was like a badass soldier. He was really good kill 603 00:41:38,119 --> 00:41:39,960 fucking people who are like, wait, no, that is that the guy 604 00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:44,159 that like farts for the kick? Yeah, no, he's just cutting off 605 00:41:44,199 --> 00:41:46,519 your legs laughing right, he's just so low to the ground. Low man 606 00:41:46,599 --> 00:41:51,440 wins. Actually he wasn't a little man. He was he was a stealed 607 00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:53,079 horse. Yeah, he was on a horse. He was actually much better 608 00:41:53,119 --> 00:41:57,679 mounted. That probably leveled the playing field. Analogy here, sorry with your 609 00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:00,480 logic. Well, he'd still be the low man, he'd just be lower 610 00:42:00,559 --> 00:42:02,880 on the horse while he was probably cutting down like you know, infantry peasants. 611 00:42:04,159 --> 00:42:06,880 Yeah, yeah, he's still noble still though, like you'd be like, 612 00:42:07,159 --> 00:42:12,079 like imagine, you know, we're fighting a civil war in a week 613 00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:15,079 for for Trump versus Biden or something, and you're out on the rattlefield. 614 00:42:15,599 --> 00:42:20,280 You're out, you're out on the battlefield, and then like Jonah Hill pops 615 00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:23,400 up and stabs you in the face. That'd be awesome. I'd go out 616 00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:27,239 though, Like it's that. I guess Jonah Hill would be on my side, 617 00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:30,440 though I don't. Yeah, I don't know he regards term sides in 618 00:42:30,519 --> 00:42:34,519 that situation. Won't. But the point is is that somebody would like a 619 00:42:34,599 --> 00:42:37,960 lot of people got killed by a famous guy essentially, like as he's a 620 00:42:38,079 --> 00:42:45,119 Zaris just we're riding around on a horse like murking people and you're like just 621 00:42:45,199 --> 00:42:50,880 stabbing people and stuff. That's a that's a guy, right, Tom, 622 00:42:51,159 --> 00:42:53,920 It's Tom from the Parks and yeah, you just get stabbed in the neck 623 00:42:54,039 --> 00:42:58,840 and he rides on. Imagine the kid from Two and a half Men gets 624 00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:04,719 you. Yeah, like that's who kills you. So he he was very 625 00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:07,639 loyal to the crown, though, and returned the Queen back to France to 626 00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:10,400 safety. Just a few months later, the brother Lord Croft, who was 627 00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:15,159 captain of the Queen's guard and sold to Jeffrey oversight the Dwarf challenged him to 628 00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:20,280 a duel and he got he got the best of the guy that challenged him, 629 00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:22,639 or dwarf shot him. The dwarf shot him to death. Yeah, 630 00:43:22,679 --> 00:43:27,159 yeah, the Queen's guardsman. So he had to be banished. But I 631 00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:29,760 mean he killed a lot of people, shot him to death. What years 632 00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:36,440 is this would be? Um, this is seventeenth century, Okay, I'm 633 00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:38,000 trying to do we have a modern equivalent. Was there some comedian who was 634 00:43:38,039 --> 00:43:44,679 like in Nam who just fucked people up? I don't know how, man, 635 00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:49,320 Yeah, That's what I'm trying to figure out. How. Um Yeah, 636 00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:51,599 I don't know. I like Rob Riggle was in the Marines, but 637 00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:54,840 I don't think he was Lewis Black. Yeah, like I tried some guy 638 00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:57,639 in Nam who did. Try to think of somebody older than that, you 639 00:43:57,679 --> 00:44:00,199 know, like the old urban legend about how Miss Rogers was a sniper in 640 00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:05,719 Vietnam. Yeah, if George Carlin was just yeah, I'm trying to think 641 00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:09,360 go like that, Oh my god, just like leading children in the rice 642 00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:14,800 fields. Yeah, you know, Jimmy Jimmy Stewart was a he did some 643 00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:16,519 terrible ship. Yeah, Jimmy Stewart was in charge of a bomber in World 644 00:44:16,599 --> 00:44:22,159 War Two. So really a comedian yelled, oh girl, I'm gonna start 645 00:44:22,199 --> 00:44:30,360 to like it. So this beom check out spare bedroom for all these inside 646 00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:34,199 jokes and more so. On his voyage of exile, he was captured and 647 00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:37,559 sold into slavery. Bizarrely, on his eventual return to England, people aren't 648 00:44:37,559 --> 00:44:40,199 sure if it was the same guy or not, and you know, yeah, 649 00:44:40,559 --> 00:44:43,599 no way to verify that. Yeah, but he came back at a 650 00:44:43,639 --> 00:44:46,400 foot taller. It feels like not the same guy, unless he was doing 651 00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:52,679 the what was that movie they stretched them that? Where was that movie where 652 00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:59,239 the girl, the adult midget is acting like a girl. Oh the Orphan. 653 00:44:59,519 --> 00:45:02,039 Yeah, the horror movie. Yeah, Robert Nero in it? No, 654 00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:05,480 no, no, I don't think he was in it, dude, 655 00:45:05,519 --> 00:45:07,480 I think The Orphan had Robert de Nero in it.

He what he was doing, he was jruggling swords, he 673 00:46:15,639 --> 00:46:19,360 was reciting the song of Roland. He was farting at them. Oh nice, 674 00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:21,719 Yeah, that's farting at them. They're like, oh, I'm tired 675 00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:24,280 of this guy. Yeah. So he was one for instance that you know, 676 00:46:24,679 --> 00:46:28,039 he caught the sword pretty hard. Yeah, but you know what, 677 00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:30,800 he died for his country. Yes he did. He farted. He was 678 00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:36,480 a pat to death. Yeah figuratively. Yeah, it's like it's like popping 679 00:46:36,519 --> 00:46:39,039 out of a trench and waving your penis at the other guys, I think, 680 00:46:39,079 --> 00:46:43,320 getting shot, getting riddled with bullets, but they give away their position. 681 00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:45,519 Yeah, and then you can, you know, call in an artilleries. 682 00:46:45,519 --> 00:46:50,360 I don't know whatever. Anyway, he died waving your penis to help 683 00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:53,760 your country. There's a famous Polish so a lot of these guys, yeah 684 00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:58,679 pretty much, Yeah, farting and waving his nick around. Uh, there's 685 00:46:58,679 --> 00:47:02,480 a famous Polish uster name Stanzi. You don't even try to pronounce it. 686 00:47:02,599 --> 00:47:07,480 Yeah, it's there's a lot of z's and caves and wise there um. 687 00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:10,960 But like, for instance, this guy was actually a pretty gifted political figure. 688 00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:14,960 Two. He actually offered real insight into like Polish position and things like 689 00:47:15,039 --> 00:47:16,920 that, where they should be moving toward and like what they should be looking 690 00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:20,079 out for. It is out there reading the art of war. Yeah, 691 00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:22,480 he's like pulling out, so you shit out of his ass. Yeah. 692 00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:25,320 But the best own anecdote about him was that it was actually a hunting incident. 693 00:47:25,599 --> 00:47:32,079 So in like fifteen thirty three, the kings bears, yeah hunting. 694 00:47:32,159 --> 00:47:36,239 Six of the king, six of them in the old had a huge bear 695 00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:39,400 brought for him from Lithuania to go hunt, and I guess the bear got 696 00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:43,199 out of its cage. No, No, they released it in the woods, 697 00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:45,440 right, they released it. That's right, because that's where they the 698 00:47:45,599 --> 00:47:50,840 joke comes from. So quidn't even hunt like natural bears. They I don't 699 00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:54,519 know, gualty, you keep on the ground in the bear situation in Poland's 700 00:47:54,559 --> 00:47:58,400 like, you know, it might be tough to just go find one, 701 00:47:58,639 --> 00:48:00,760 Okay. So the king six and brought his queen with him on the hunt, 702 00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:04,880 and the bear charged at them, knocked the queen off the horse. 703 00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:07,280 She had a miscarriage, and the king hold of the whole thing. Yeah, 704 00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:10,000 it was a big ord deal. And the king was like, hey, 705 00:48:10,599 --> 00:48:14,800 why didn't you attack that bear? Jester? Yeah, and he was 706 00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:16,880 like, uh, it's a greater folly to let out the bear than it 707 00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:20,280 was already in a cage. It's your fault. It's your fault. You 708 00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:22,039 didn't protect her for the bear charging. And he was like, no, 709 00:48:22,159 --> 00:48:23,320 it's your fault. You let a bear out of a cage. It was 710 00:48:23,519 --> 00:48:25,840 in the cage, why would you let it up? Yeah, that's a 711 00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:30,039 fifteen thirty three zing at a king from a jester that didn't get killed for 712 00:48:30,119 --> 00:48:34,360 it. He was fine, Yeah, anyone else. Basically they had the 713 00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:37,880 First Amendment and no one else did. That's what jester's had. Good, 714 00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:44,599 you were okay the next guy? Uh, I mean to talk about his 715 00:48:44,679 --> 00:48:49,039 trible Yeah. Tribila was a jester to the King Louis the twelfth of France, 716 00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:53,400 and as the name suggests, yeah, so some famous quotes from him 717 00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:58,280 that I elect. Uh. He once came to the monarch with a complaint. 718 00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:01,119 Tribila said a noble threatened to hang me. The monarch said, don't 719 00:49:01,159 --> 00:49:05,199 worry. If he hangs you, I'll have him beheaded fifteen minutes later, 720 00:49:05,679 --> 00:49:07,320 and Trible goes, well, would it be possible to behead him, like 721 00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:10,920 fifteen minutes beforehand? Yeah, maybe maybe kill him before they kill him. 722 00:49:13,079 --> 00:49:16,119 But once Tribola could not contain himself and he slapped the king on the butt, 723 00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:20,519 and the monitar class this terrible good game. Yeah, he gave him 724 00:49:20,519 --> 00:49:22,000 a little bit butt tap a little all right, buddy, you'll say. 725 00:49:22,079 --> 00:49:25,280 He's like, ha ha ha, but your butt the royal butt. And 726 00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:29,400 then the king was like threatened to execute him, and a little later the 727 00:49:29,519 --> 00:49:31,400 king was like, all right, all right, I'll promise to forgive you 728 00:49:31,639 --> 00:49:37,280 if you can think of an apology more insulting. He was like, burned 729 00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:38,800 me good, dude, burned me good and all, and you're cool. 730 00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:42,280 Yeah, just give me a good roast man and I'll let it go. 731 00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:44,920 He goes, oh, I didn't mean to do that. I'm sorry. 732 00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:46,039 I thought you were you were the queen. Yeah, he's like, I 733 00:49:46,119 --> 00:49:50,320 thought your fat, dumpy man ass was the queen, and he forgot there 734 00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:52,360 was a rule he was never allowed to insult the queen, so he got 735 00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:54,599 killed. Yeah he was. I believe he was put to death. Yeah, 736 00:49:54,679 --> 00:49:59,480 they didn't say how he did it. You know, it's who cares 737 00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:01,519 and and um. One of my last favorite ones that I'm going to talk 738 00:50:01,559 --> 00:50:07,000 about is Tom Skelton. Tom Skelton not you know, he had a normal 739 00:50:07,199 --> 00:50:09,440 noble fool role, but he fucked with people everywhere. He was a big 740 00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:15,960 practical joker that was actually dangerously legally dangerous. Yeah. Yeah, So Skelton 741 00:50:15,119 --> 00:50:19,360 had a really bad habit of sitting beneath a chestnut tree on the castle grounds. 742 00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:22,000 He just kind of sit there and hang out, and he'd give advice 743 00:50:22,079 --> 00:50:25,400 to people like riding by or like directions or whatever. If the people pissed 744 00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:30,960 them off, he'd point them into the direction of a quicksand pit. Tight. 745 00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:36,719 Cool, that's just a psychos. It's a bit murder people. It's 746 00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:38,440 a bit. It's like, oh, you're in what a great defense that 747 00:50:38,519 --> 00:50:43,800 dude that might one day in like sixty years some gen z jury when they're 748 00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:47,599 when they're in there like sixties, Like, it was a bit murder was 749 00:50:47,599 --> 00:50:51,079 all a bit. Come on, guys, it's hilarious. I'm not murdering 750 00:50:51,559 --> 00:50:53,519 that pit is I just like that. There was a guy bit pit who 751 00:50:53,639 --> 00:51:00,559 has a bit pit. I just like the back. There was a guy 752 00:51:00,599 --> 00:51:04,440 who was probably given way more than anyone else could have possibly imagined, like 753 00:51:04,599 --> 00:51:07,239 horses, servants, land. All he did was hanging out under a tree 754 00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:13,199 and send people to their death, something like go that way if you want 755 00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:16,920 to get to town. Wait a minute, I've heard about this man. 756 00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:21,920 He waits like thirty minutes and here's screams, and he's just like, ah, 757 00:51:22,199 --> 00:51:24,000 yeah, cracks open a chestnut. That's good, that's the good stuff. 758 00:51:24,079 --> 00:51:29,360 It's a great shade today. Yeah good. That's know, like he 759 00:51:29,559 --> 00:51:32,679 killed Yeah he actually did. Yeah he said he's still killed man. Yeah. 760 00:51:34,679 --> 00:51:36,719 But those are the big ones that I like to talk. There's a 761 00:51:36,719 --> 00:51:37,960 couple other famous ones. I don't know if you guys caught any, but 762 00:51:38,199 --> 00:51:42,760 I sent the stuff kind of late. I enjoyed. I don't know much 763 00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:45,719 about him. I just enjoyed the name of one muckle John. Oh yeah. 764 00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:49,760 I just like to assume that he was like crapping in his hand or 765 00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:52,280 something. It just sounds like a guy going heavy on poop jokes. No, 766 00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:57,519 that guy is going fist first into a prostitute. Muccle John mucle John 767 00:51:57,800 --> 00:52:01,199 bring out you kind brought the too needs just you're thinking of knuckle Joe. 768 00:52:02,519 --> 00:52:08,119 No, yeah, just kidding. Uh. There was one guy just keeping 769 00:52:08,199 --> 00:52:12,800 in the Oh no, nothing I liked by. It was Edward the Second 770 00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:15,480 and Edward the third of England called all their fools Robert, regardless of what 771 00:52:15,519 --> 00:52:20,880 their names were. Yeah, they're just like you're Robert now. So that's 772 00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:24,039 that's actually where George Foreman got the idea to name all George Foreman like they'd 773 00:52:24,119 --> 00:52:27,199 kill one for pissing them off, and they'd be like, get me a 774 00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:30,360 new Robert and they'd be like, hello, so my name is Brian. 775 00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:35,800 That deal Robert now or the original ugga? Yes, yeah, they were. 776 00:52:37,079 --> 00:52:39,800 I'm trying to think. It's like Jonathan for Cynthia's mom and Rugrats. 777 00:52:40,719 --> 00:52:45,280 Yeah. Sure, it's just there's always some bitch boy. Yeah, he 778 00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:46,960 was always gonna be Jonathan. Yeah. Wow, that's a that's a deep 779 00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:51,199 deep cut. I just like these photos of all the jesters, they're like 780 00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:54,599 another good name. Look at these representations there. I don't know if they're 781 00:52:54,599 --> 00:53:00,760 accurate, but they these are some ugly, ugly fos. Maggotty Johnson and 782 00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:05,840 they called him Maggoty Johnson because his face head pock marks, an I feel 783 00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:12,800 uncomfortable saying maggoty. Maggoty. There is a he got buried in the woods 784 00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:15,519 that are now known as Maggoty Wood, like the woods they're still named after 785 00:53:15,639 --> 00:53:20,880 him in a Cheshire and they his grave is marked and there's like a little 786 00:53:20,960 --> 00:53:23,719 thing, and then there's some Puritan bullshit like after the Reformation that's like, 787 00:53:24,159 --> 00:53:28,039 oh, you shouldn't be a fool. Yeah, yeah, there's laughter is 788 00:53:28,119 --> 00:53:31,599 for the people you waste. So that's actually who founded this country. You 789 00:53:31,679 --> 00:53:35,280 know, Pilgrims came over. They didn't want to laugh anymore. Yeah, 790 00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:38,360 I think about this. The movie of the Witch is about a guy who 791 00:53:38,440 --> 00:53:42,559 came over with the Puritans and was like, you guys are too laid back. 792 00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:45,679 Yeah, yeah, we need to move out. You are hardcore. 793 00:53:45,039 --> 00:53:49,039 Yeah, you guys are way too relax and not with God. I'm gonna 794 00:53:49,079 --> 00:53:52,239 start my own life. I know this isn't really keeping with the topic, 795 00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:57,199 but The Witch is actually hilarious if you think about it from a historical perspective. 796 00:53:57,280 --> 00:53:59,880 I love that movie. It's fantastic. It's actually a really good period 797 00:54:00,039 --> 00:54:02,239 piece, like it's fantastic. I like to think that they were all A 798 00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:07,719 lot of them were hallucinating because I think they have like an Ergot mold on 799 00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:09,920 bread that showed on corn. Yeah corn, yeah, yeah, yeah. 800 00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:14,440 No, it's a movie. It's a really funny. Everything comes back to 801 00:54:14,639 --> 00:54:17,760 Ergot, Black William, Black Philip, Black Philip, sorry, black Philip. 802 00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:21,760 Yeah, the kids all of Black Philip. That's a funny movie if 803 00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:23,960 you think about it, like this guy I was laughing the whole time, 804 00:54:24,119 --> 00:54:29,360 the guy who took his family out in the middle of nowhere to be closer 805 00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:31,480 to God, and now as kids that are like playing with a goat, 806 00:54:31,599 --> 00:54:37,480 a devil, a devil goat, Black Philip and his daughters getting a weird 807 00:54:37,519 --> 00:54:40,159 looks from her his son, and it's all fallen apart like day three. 808 00:54:42,199 --> 00:54:45,760 It's like, ooh, I know that's not relevant, but I didn't watch 809 00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:47,519 I've never seen this, You've never seen The Witch. Nope, so you'd 810 00:54:47,559 --> 00:54:51,599 hate it. You would hate it. I'm gona take the high road here 811 00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:55,360 and say that was a very great reference, Jake, Thanks man. It 812 00:54:55,519 --> 00:54:59,119 had nothing to do with what It wasn't really reference. I was just talking 813 00:54:59,159 --> 00:55:01,079 about it. Okay, Um, Yeah, but that's that's it for me 814 00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:05,920 on gestures. I thought it was a fun little topic I like about something, 815 00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:07,239 you know, you know, a little fun and easy band. I 816 00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:12,119 still think that the word fool comes from fart, you know, that's my 817 00:55:12,199 --> 00:55:15,599 takeaway. Fall episode Falless could be both a fart and dick joke, and 818 00:55:15,679 --> 00:55:19,920 that's why it's like super dick far What if the name fool comes from the 819 00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:22,840 Greeks being like, he's a dick fart. That's right there, it's a 820 00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:24,599 fart, dick, dick fart. What is a what is a penis quief? 821 00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:29,480 A dick fart? Yeah, fool fallless, fool, good old well 822 00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:31,400 think about it, like whatever, you know, they were just like this 823 00:55:31,559 --> 00:55:37,760 guy's such a dick fart because I just fucking dick fart dick farting around. 824 00:55:37,639 --> 00:55:40,559 It's kind of annoying to me that there are like stuffy historians that one thinks 825 00:55:40,559 --> 00:55:50,039 to be all fucking right. Think a stuffy historian changed the initial translation from 826 00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:57,400 farting or dick or both too, uh, something more palatable for their books. 827 00:55:57,800 --> 00:56:04,320 Yeah, I fucking stand by that. Also, no proof seem educated 828 00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:08,199 even though well just grave, you know what I mean, it's the type 829 00:56:08,199 --> 00:56:14,280 of thing where there's Maybe that's why comedy was so had regressed so much when 830 00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:16,960 they started making movies and stuff. I mean, but yeah, I could 831 00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:21,199 say Puritanism, although it got us all here, is probably one of the 832 00:56:21,519 --> 00:56:25,639 worst things that started off America. Who does you could think about it? 833 00:56:25,679 --> 00:56:30,119 The world went from like, hey, you're a womb man, you're a 834 00:56:30,239 --> 00:56:35,320 dick fart to we must wear sheets. We'll be lying, like we must 835 00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:37,480 wear our sheets under our sheets are full time, like they wore clothes under 836 00:56:37,519 --> 00:56:42,599 their clothes on their heads. Yeah, I agree, just in case your 837 00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:45,920 headbone or wouldn't show. Just got to put it up. It just gotta 838 00:56:45,960 --> 00:56:50,400 fight that. Like essentially your thesis is like, dude, the less people 839 00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:57,920 butt fuck the worst things got well kind of, the less butt fucking there 840 00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:00,559 was, the more industry happens. See I think right, industry and um 841 00:57:00,719 --> 00:57:05,800 as got a lot done. Man there, Puritans probably did a lot of 842 00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:07,599 butt fucking. Yeah, I don't think it went away. They just didn't 843 00:57:07,599 --> 00:57:10,119 sell it. See, Puritans probably made it hotter by doing it, and 844 00:57:10,199 --> 00:57:14,079 they probably did. Yeah, they did more but fucking because it didn't go 845 00:57:14,119 --> 00:57:16,559 against God, because it wasn't it was probably it was very much against God. 846 00:57:16,679 --> 00:57:20,039 It was probably hotter. It was probably hotter when the Puritans did it, 847 00:57:20,079 --> 00:57:22,920 and when it's because the Marians were just like, you know, slide 848 00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:27,559 in, slide out. Yeah, who cares believing that you are absolutely going 849 00:57:27,679 --> 00:57:30,480 to Hell and you still butt fuck anyway. Yeah, that's some hot up 850 00:57:30,519 --> 00:57:32,599 fucking. Yeah. Well, if you like the butt fuck, there's only 851 00:57:32,679 --> 00:57:37,840 one place to go, and that's Hell. There's a but fuck. But 852 00:57:39,480 --> 00:57:44,519 yeah, I don't believe that personally, but at the time I'm sure they 853 00:57:44,559 --> 00:57:46,360 did. Yeah, it's like honestly, yeah, Like if you think about 854 00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:52,559 it, like if you didn't care Hell and you were like sexually deviant at 855 00:57:52,599 --> 00:57:54,199 the time, Hell is probably the perfect place. Like if you're in a 856 00:57:54,280 --> 00:58:00,280 BDSM and butt fucking go to Heaven and play a harp and just float around 857 00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:04,760 and that sounds fun. Burn burn my nipples, yeah, dude, put 858 00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:07,480 that hot rod in my butt. Yeah. Like. Also, that's like 859 00:58:07,599 --> 00:58:09,679 just a normal bar in the meatpacking district now in New York City, Like 860 00:58:10,719 --> 00:58:14,840 come on, I mean the East Side here, dude, or fucking it's 861 00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:16,840 not too far off.
