- 6:17Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 6:17Speaker 2: Also, you know what's uh, you know, what's a great segue.
- 6:22Speaker 4: That so many questions about crankling.
- 6:28Speaker 1: Elizabeth for president?
- 6:31Speaker 6: Maybe maybe I don't know if you guys remember, but
- 6:33Speaker 6: when we last convened in this fashion and played this
- 6:37Speaker 6: game of twenty questions truly actual factsly was my first
- 6:41Speaker 6: time playing twenty questions, and I found it to be
- 6:43Speaker 6: a delight. I didn't even get to mine. I was
- 6:47Speaker 6: on the questioning side, but not the questioner. So wait, no,
- 6:50Speaker 6: I was asking the questions, not being the whatever the question.
- 6:54Speaker 6: I don't know what that's the one. I'm the hot seat. No,
- 6:57Speaker 6: I'm not in the hot seat. See I still don't
- 6:58Speaker 6: get it explained this game work.
- 7:01Speaker 9: How about we break down the rules and get this gun.
- 7:04Speaker 1: I guess that's see. I guess I.
- 7:07Speaker 9: Am thee the DM for today.
- 7:11Speaker 1: I will starts off with the rules.
- 7:12Speaker 9: Yeah, well for part of it.
- 7:14Speaker 1: You come back as a contestant. That's correct.
- 7:16Speaker 9: So to start off with the rules the teams, that is.
- 7:19Speaker 1: Pretty easy to figure out.
- 7:20Speaker 9: It will be ridiculous history myself, Ben and noel versus
- 7:23Speaker 9: ridiculous crime is thereon Elizabeth, Dave? Uh So each of
- 7:27Speaker 9: us will take a turn as flexer. So thus far
- 7:29Speaker 9: we have done Ben, we have done Elizabeth, and we
- 7:32Speaker 9: have done Dave. If you want to hear those, go
- 7:34Speaker 9: find part one.
- 7:35Speaker 6: And that is because the topic is historical flexes.
- 7:39Speaker 9: Correct, the historical flexes from nowhere. It yes, the historical
- 7:43Speaker 9: flex that have come from nowhere. So how this works
- 7:45Speaker 9: is everyone will pick one person who has a historical
- 7:50Speaker 9: flex of something basically like something cool someone has done
- 7:55Speaker 9: in the past.
- 7:55Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be cool. It could be weird,
- 7:57Speaker 1: it could be outland.
- 7:58Speaker 6: It's just something remarkable ordered, yes, showing out, showing being
- 8:03Speaker 6: the most Yeah.
- 8:04Speaker 9: The goal is for the other team is to figure
- 8:07Speaker 9: out who this person is or animal is, and what
- 8:12Speaker 9: the historical is. It was no rules against animals historical figure.
- 8:16Speaker 5: Correct?
- 8:17Speaker 2: Yes, so not just like someone you went to middle
- 8:21Speaker 2: school with.
- 8:22Speaker 1: God, it wasn't even the famous dog. It wasn't even
- 8:24Speaker 1: the dog that I heard of.
- 8:25Speaker 6: Hey, we gotta move on, we gotta move Sorry, this
- 8:28Speaker 6: is Listen to the last episode by the way, if
- 8:30Speaker 6: you haven't, it's on both of our feats. It's on
- 8:33Speaker 6: both Ridiculous Crime and Ridiculous History, and it is an
- 8:35Speaker 6: absolute hute.
- 8:37Speaker 9: So the team will get twenty questions am I doing that? Back?
- 8:40Speaker 9: Twenty questions that works to figure out how what this
- 8:44Speaker 9: person is. Obviously the questions can't be can you tell
- 8:47Speaker 9: me who this person is?
- 8:48Speaker 6: It's like Genie rules. You can't wish for another wish
- 8:51Speaker 6: kind of say exactly you're.
- 8:52Speaker 4: You're aiming for.
- 8:53Speaker 7: Yes, no responses, Yes, I correct, don't know.
- 8:57Speaker 9: Maybe I feel like don't know, and maybe you should
- 9:00Speaker 9: get refunded your question. If the person, if I asked you,
- 9:03Speaker 9: is this person, I'm gonna answer. I'm going to answer.
- 9:07Speaker 9: If I ask you is this person alive? And they
- 9:09Speaker 9: say don't know, I'm gonna want my question back.
- 9:13Speaker 1: Shall we all agree? That that's fair. I think.
- 9:17Speaker 8: If the if theer's cat, we don't know if they're
- 9:20Speaker 8: I think.
- 9:20Speaker 1: It's I think it's fair.
- 9:21Speaker 2: Also within this happened in part one, I think it's
- 9:25Speaker 2: fair within reason to give a slight a slight uh
- 9:30Speaker 2: period directions for the for the answerer to verify. Yeah,
- 9:35Speaker 2: I think that's that's reasonable. We did that in part one.
- 9:38Speaker 6: I think, And I think we even at some point,
- 9:40Speaker 6: like you know, when things are getting dire through a
- 9:43Speaker 6: few hill hinties out there.
- 9:45Speaker 1: You know, none of us are academics here.
- 9:47Speaker 5: We do.
- 9:49Speaker 6: Well fair enough. The rest of us are. We did
- 9:53Speaker 6: go to college. I guess that technically makes us kind
- 9:55Speaker 6: of academic.
- 9:56Speaker 1: But my point is we can have it. We can
- 9:58Speaker 1: be a little loosey goosey here and then with the reason.
- 10:00Speaker 5: It's the questions discretion, questions discretion.
- 10:03Speaker 1: I like that.
- 10:04Speaker 9: And to continue on, if you guess the historical figure
- 10:08Speaker 9: with the flex that is one point. If you can
- 10:11Speaker 9: guess the flex that they did, that is an additional point.
- 10:15Speaker 1: And at the end of.
- 10:16Speaker 9: Questioning, after twenty questions and they don't figure it out,
- 10:19Speaker 9: the questioner will say who the flex.
- 10:23Speaker 1: E the flexer?
- 10:24Speaker 9: Yes, yeah, And then if so, if you cannot guess
- 10:29Speaker 9: who the flexer is, the team with the flex gets
- 10:34Speaker 9: one point.
- 10:37Speaker 1: But we got a new rule, and we got another
- 10:39Speaker 1: rule to the new rule.
- 10:43Speaker 2: Just so our fellow ridiculous criminals and ridiculous historians are
- 10:46Speaker 2: read up on this, rude.
- 10:49Speaker 7: Dudes, and feel free to rewind and listen to those
- 10:55Speaker 7: rules again.
- 10:56Speaker 2: Because I think we got discursive a little bit there.
- 10:58Speaker 9: Yes, yes, I I'm not sure if I even I.
- 11:01Speaker 1: Think it will present itself.
- 11:02Speaker 6: We're just using this as an opportunity for more banter
- 11:04Speaker 6: to be frank, I mean.
- 11:05Speaker 9: We're either as an opportunity to figure it out ourselves.
- 11:07Speaker 9: And so we have one more additional rule that we
- 11:10Speaker 9: have added. So now we're introducing a secret word type
- 11:14Speaker 9: thing where the flex er who is the persons asked
- 11:23Speaker 9: the questions. They will have a secret word or phrase
- 11:29Speaker 9: that if the other team says it while asking questions,
- 11:32Speaker 9: they will get an additional five questions. Get the questions reseat,
- 11:36Speaker 9: they'll get something five quends.
- 11:38Speaker 1: I think we agreed on five questions.
- 11:39Speaker 9: Five questions, okay, cool, And it could be something completely random,
- 11:43Speaker 9: it could be something on topic with the thing.
- 11:45Speaker 6: What I thought we kind of agreed that it should
- 11:47Speaker 6: be something that might present itself naturally within the course.
- 11:51Speaker 9: I think we all said, I think we agreed upon that,
- 11:53Speaker 9: but I don't think we agreed on that being the rule.
- 11:57Speaker 1: Does it make sense? How are you not worry about
- 11:59Speaker 1: my antics?
- 12:00Speaker 10: Are?
- 12:01Speaker 9: Do we want to agree live here on air? Because
- 12:03Speaker 9: I that's the play?
- 12:05Speaker 8: Let them play?
- 12:07Speaker 1: Yes, that sounds good. Let's get to an excellent work, Max.
- 12:11Speaker 2: Yeah, let's get some dramatic like sportsy music, boom boom
- 12:18Speaker 2: book great. So I think we go to uh, we
- 12:22Speaker 2: go to mister Oh before we do, do we want
- 12:25Speaker 2: to say the score from that?
- 12:27Speaker 1: Was gonna say?
- 12:27Speaker 6: We recapt where we stand on the leaderboards from last time?
- 12:31Speaker 1: Yes?
- 12:32Speaker 9: And if I remember correctly, it is ridiculous history two
- 12:35Speaker 9: and a half, ridiculous crime one and a half. Does
- 12:37Speaker 9: anyone remember how we got halfs.
- 12:39Speaker 2: Yes, because we were told that we're too nice to people.
- 12:44Speaker 7: Were one of them because I had dogs and it
- 12:49Speaker 7: was Bummer and Lazarus were the responses the answers, and
- 12:53Speaker 7: then Noel, you yelled out bummer.
- 12:56Speaker 8: At the end of the twentieth question.
- 12:58Speaker 6: But just like as sort of like a Keanu and
- 13:01Speaker 6: Point break.
- 13:02Speaker 1: Kind of way.
- 13:04Speaker 4: Frustration, and then there.
- 13:06Speaker 2: You yeah, and then on the other side. I remember
- 13:10Speaker 2: I kept trying to like say, oh, these are half
- 13:12Speaker 2: points though, because those are great answers.
- 13:15Speaker 6: Well we were being nice and and you know, there
- 13:18Speaker 6: were some tough ones there. But I think I think
- 13:20Speaker 6: I have a feeling today we won't need to divvy
- 13:22Speaker 6: out half points, but we'll see.
- 13:24Speaker 1: But now we know where we stand, so I guess
- 13:26Speaker 1: I will. Uh, let's go to you.
- 13:28Speaker 6: I don't need to do any first preamble. Really, I've
- 13:31Speaker 6: got a person and a flex and mind.
- 13:34Speaker 1: Uh come at me.
- 13:36Speaker 5: Okay, is this person alive now?
- 13:40Speaker 1: No?
- 13:43Speaker 6: Not Sugers cats, not Schrodinger's cat.
- 13:48Speaker 1: That doesn't count. There was no actual cat. It's it's
- 13:52Speaker 1: it's like.
- 13:55Speaker 6: That would have been a cool one, you know, Schrodinger's
- 13:58Speaker 6: actual cat.
- 13:58Speaker 1: But in fact, no, not the case.
- 14:01Speaker 7: Was this person alive in the twentieth century?
- 14:07Speaker 1: No?
- 14:08Speaker 4: Okay, okay.
- 14:10Speaker 5: Is this person considered an American?
- 14:13Speaker 1: No?
- 14:18Speaker 5: This was this person? Go ahead after you produced.
- 14:22Speaker 8: Is this person a political figure?
- 14:25Speaker 1: Yes?
- 14:27Speaker 5: Is this person a European political figure?
- 14:30Speaker 1: Yes?
- 14:32Speaker 5: Is this person famous in the nineteenth century?
- 14:37Speaker 7: No?
- 14:38Speaker 6: Wait, hang on, no? No, barely cut off? Yeap, No, okay,
- 14:43Speaker 6: really cut dang it.
- 14:46Speaker 5: That was your discretion. You wanted to tell us more
- 14:49Speaker 5: that you couldn't help yourself.
- 14:51Speaker 1: I really can't. I have very little self control.
- 14:54Speaker 5: So political figure from Europe in the eighteenth century?
- 15:01Speaker 1: Is this not a question? That was a statement?
- 15:03Speaker 8: This is internal team talk.
- 15:06Speaker 4: Is this person a man?
- 15:09Speaker 1: Yes?
- 15:13Speaker 8: It's a man baby?
- 15:14Speaker 6: Well, oh, a man I thought you mean a man baby, like,
- 15:17Speaker 6: like a man child.
- 15:19Speaker 8: Like sort of wild.
- 15:20Speaker 6: Neither confirmed nor deny a man child status.
- 15:24Speaker 4: We don't know if you pulled.
- 15:26Speaker 2: I was thinking like a ware baby, you know, like
- 15:29Speaker 2: under the cycle of the moon it turns back.
- 15:31Speaker 4: Into a little wolf baby.
- 15:33Speaker 1: That'd be cute. So how many questions are we That's okay,
- 15:37Speaker 1: thank you, because I was not.
- 15:38Speaker 7: Keeping European seventeen hundreds. So we had to figure out
- 15:45Speaker 7: what look politician?
- 15:47Speaker 5: Yeah, do you want to go with like language or
- 15:50Speaker 5: do we want.
- 15:50Speaker 1: To go with Well, guys are good at this. You
- 15:53Speaker 1: guys are really doing process of elimination.
- 15:55Speaker 5: Yeah, feel like continent or non? How do we get
- 15:58Speaker 5: part of the UK versus?
- 16:00Speaker 9: You?
- 16:00Speaker 4: Just go ahead?
- 16:02Speaker 9: I love that our size bore just us screaming over.
- 16:04Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think that so we can say it is.
- 16:06Speaker 7: Does this person speak English as their mother tongue? No? Oh, okay,
- 16:13Speaker 7: so we've ruled out well in the seventeen hundred, we
- 16:16Speaker 7: still maybe don't have Ireland ruled out, but whatever, we'll.
- 16:20Speaker 5: Just say okay, basically, so no Irish, Ireland.
- 16:25Speaker 4: Okay.
- 16:27Speaker 5: Is this person German?
- 16:29Speaker 1: No?
- 16:30Speaker 5: Wait, they wouldn't have been Germany because it predates Germany.
- 16:35Speaker 1: No, that was nice.
- 16:37Speaker 8: Yeah, who is the I was trying to think of?
- 16:39Speaker 1: I didn't know that the.
- 16:41Speaker 8: Is it von Steuben? Like the guys were arming the
- 16:44Speaker 8: revolution and teaching them tactics from Prussia?
- 16:48Speaker 4: That was a very specific question.
- 16:50Speaker 1: I really no, No, that's not a question.
- 16:53Speaker 5: That's an internal So we've been like the guy who
- 17:01Speaker 5: trained the American revolutionary from Prussia once? Do being the
- 17:04Speaker 5: gay patriot of America?
- 17:06Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 17:07Speaker 8: Yes, yeah, no, it's just like I'm trying to zero
- 17:11Speaker 8: in on pockets of people.
- 17:12Speaker 1: It could be.
- 17:13Speaker 5: That's good, it's interesting.
- 17:14Speaker 1: One.
- 17:16Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 17:19Speaker 8: Let's think about France. Yeah, oh, well, if English is
- 17:22Speaker 8: their mother tongue, then screw that.
- 17:24Speaker 1: No, English was not their mother tongue.
- 17:26Speaker 7: Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, English isn't the mother tongue. You
- 17:30Speaker 7: know what I'm going to do right now, I'm gonna
- 17:32Speaker 7: text my team. You can't text, Yeah, I can, just,
- 17:38Speaker 7: you know, just to ask a question so that no
- 17:41Speaker 7: one else can hear us.
- 17:43Speaker 5: So that's acceptable, all right?
- 17:46Speaker 4: Okay, you I don't know enough.
- 17:51Speaker 2: I like the conspiratorial aspect of this fine, predictably.
- 17:55Speaker 1: But hearingside of a phone conversation.
- 17:57Speaker 4: Well, no, it's a politician though, I'm getting thrown off. Okay,
- 18:02Speaker 4: go Lee.
- 18:03Speaker 1: I mean politician is maybe a loose term, like.
- 18:07Speaker 5: More of a political figure.
- 18:09Speaker 7: Yeah, so it could be like military, royalty, royalty, or like,
- 18:14Speaker 7: I'm going to go royalty on this.
- 18:17Speaker 5: Is this person? Was this person royalty? Was he royalty?
- 18:20Speaker 1: Yes?
- 18:20Speaker 5: Yes, yes, we've got royalty.
- 18:23Speaker 1: Does that put us a question?
- 18:24Speaker 6: Ten?
- 18:25Speaker 1: Or no? I think that's a ten?
- 18:27Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 18:27Speaker 1: Okay, all right, great, you're cooking with hot fire.
- 18:31Speaker 4: Is this person was this person from a Nordic country?
- 18:36Speaker 3: No?
- 18:38Speaker 1: Yeah, I go French, but you guys.
- 18:40Speaker 5: Are Italy at that point, Spanish and Dutch with the
- 18:44Speaker 5: whole succession.
- 18:45Speaker 9: Oh yeah, I feel like I'm really is it troubling
- 18:51Speaker 9: me that there's so much better history than we are.
- 18:55Speaker 5: Was this person Spanish?
- 18:58Speaker 1: No?
- 19:02Speaker 4: Okay? Was this person involved in a scandal.
- 19:10Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I would say, I would say so mm
- 19:13Speaker 6: hmm oh.
- 19:14Speaker 7: I'm really reading into the tone of that response to
- 19:18Speaker 7: was this.
- 19:18Speaker 5: Person did they lose their head?
- 19:26Speaker 6: A second, I want to say yes, but I want
- 19:30Speaker 6: to be extra sure.
- 19:32Speaker 1: Sure. Oh, maybe we should take this offline too.
- 19:39Speaker 7: This is I think the texting is the most interesting
- 19:43Speaker 7: lists lost their their head gotta be French, right, and
- 19:49Speaker 7: then it's gonna be it's gonna be non French.
- 19:52Speaker 8: But yeah, divorce beheaded, dead, divorce beheaded? We survived?
- 20:00Speaker 1: Oh, Ben and I disagree on this.
- 20:04Speaker 7: Whether or not someone was do we wait wait, lost
- 20:09Speaker 7: their head could also mean like you know, had like
- 20:11Speaker 7: a psychotic break we're talking about, like George the Third
- 20:16Speaker 7: be headed. Yeah, I think that.
- 20:21Speaker 4: I think that.
- 20:22Speaker 7: I really think the listeners are loving the quiet text.
- 20:25Speaker 5: The quiet Yeah.
- 20:26Speaker 1: Yeah, hang on, hold on, hold on, this is hilarious.
- 20:31Speaker 1: Hang on, hang on.
- 20:33Speaker 7: So anyway, held on, second, what do we have so far?
- 20:39Speaker 8: We have?
- 20:39Speaker 6: Yeah, it was yes, it was a simple miscommunication.
- 20:44Speaker 1: The answer is no. The answer is no.
- 20:47Speaker 6: That I may have in my in in in uh
- 20:50Speaker 6: in decision given part of the game away, but that's
- 20:53Speaker 6: up to you to decide.
- 20:54Speaker 5: All right, so we have we ask French.
- 20:59Speaker 8: Asuming the blade was dull and so it knocked, but
- 21:02Speaker 8: they didn't die from it because would be brutal.
- 21:04Speaker 6: Well, yeah, I guess the question then becomes the answer
- 21:08Speaker 6: that you're going to get eventually as to where the
- 21:10Speaker 6: miscommunication is going to be a lot funnier than you.
- 21:13Speaker 2: Might which is why, which is why me and Max
- 21:17Speaker 2: immediately went into silent mode. Hang on, but the cloaking
- 21:23Speaker 2: you cloaking, yes, taking it internal as they say, So,
- 21:26Speaker 2: we've got thirteen.
- 21:29Speaker 7: We're thirteen thirteen. All right, I just sent a message
- 21:32Speaker 7: to my team.
- 21:35Speaker 1: Oh, Elizabeth, I like this.
- 21:37Speaker 2: We're like these masters of whispers.
- 21:42Speaker 6: And I'm the loud mouth town crier that's just out
- 21:45Speaker 6: there just shouting the answers, and I'm just.
- 21:48Speaker 9: A gesture covered in donkeys.
- 21:50Speaker 7: Ye.
- 21:51Speaker 1: Hey, hey, Max, let's all describe ourselves who were affirmational ways.
- 21:57Speaker 9: That as a compliment, don't don't don't tell me what
- 21:59Speaker 9: I can't take as a compliment.
- 22:00Speaker 1: Am I adjudged your relationship?
- 22:01Speaker 5: Could this figure? Is this figure? Were they religious? Were
- 22:05Speaker 5: they a religious political figure?
- 22:07Speaker 1: No? Well, I mean what do you mean? Did they
- 22:10Speaker 1: go to.
- 22:10Speaker 5: Church with part of their religious nature? So it's not
- 22:16Speaker 5: basically by.
- 22:16Speaker 7: Point fourteen Yeah, okay, because I'm coming up with people
- 22:25Speaker 7: and then all of a sudden like well, they weren't
- 22:26Speaker 7: really a political figure. They were behind the scenes, and
- 22:29Speaker 7: then we said they're royalty. Okay, so royalty European.
- 22:37Speaker 5: We don't still know what country non.
- 22:39Speaker 4: English speaking did not get beheaded.
- 22:42Speaker 1: I think we should nail down the country scandal.
- 22:47Speaker 4: Not Spanish and not Nordic. Should I just go for it?
- 22:52Speaker 4: Are they French?
- 22:53Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 22:54Speaker 5: Ah?
- 22:54Speaker 8: Maybe, Okay, this is not a real question, is it
- 23:00Speaker 8: James lit In the Pimp of Paris?
- 23:04Speaker 5: You got it? Dang dang, dang.
- 23:08Speaker 7: Okay, French royalty seventeen hundreds didn't lose the head.
- 23:15Speaker 5: It died, but there was dispute about it. Yeah, but
- 23:18Speaker 5: there's part of a scandal. Scandal, so not to not
- 23:21Speaker 5: literally the sixteenth, but could be the fifteenth not really scandal.
- 23:24Speaker 4: Go ahead, ask itals.
- 23:30Speaker 5: Was this person the king?
- 23:34Speaker 1: Yeah? Oh okay, done, well done.
- 23:39Speaker 5: That's six So we only have a few tangs. So
- 23:42Speaker 5: fourteen fifteen.
- 23:44Speaker 1: The king died.
- 23:45Speaker 4: How many questions we have left?
- 23:46Speaker 5: We can just nail down there, I do it?
- 23:48Speaker 1: You got it? Yes? Correct?
- 23:51Speaker 6: Yes, The miscommunication was me being bad at Roman numerals.
- 23:59Speaker 6: As to whether or not the fourteenth was beheaded, I
- 24:02Speaker 6: googled it, but I was looking at the I believe
- 24:05Speaker 6: the sixteen and I just and.
- 24:08Speaker 5: Then Ben was like, no frant smoking.
- 24:16Speaker 6: But I had the same question as you.
- 24:18Speaker 1: Yeah, was it a dull guillotine accident?
- 24:21Speaker 6: And then they ended up with because I don't know,
- 24:24Speaker 6: I would argue the French Revolution could be considered a
- 24:26Speaker 6: scandal a bit of a skin.
- 24:28Speaker 1: Wouldn't you.
- 24:28Speaker 5: I mean.
- 24:30Speaker 6: His role in that in the whole, like opulence of Versailles.
- 24:34Speaker 7: I bummed out that the password is Gangreen.
- 24:41Speaker 1: I didn't know.
- 24:41Speaker 6: I didn't know enough to I didn't even know that
- 24:43Speaker 6: part and I did. Honestly, you guys are doing so well.
- 24:47Speaker 6: I know that's not true. I did have a password,
- 24:48Speaker 6: but the password here's you haven't guessed the flex I
- 24:52Speaker 6: haven't even against.
- 24:55Speaker 8: Okay, is it something about Versailles?
- 24:58Speaker 6: Yes, okay, he kind of hung out there all the time.
- 25:03Speaker 5: Did it because he had the biggest art collection in
- 25:05Speaker 5: the world at the time.
- 25:07Speaker 1: That's true?
- 25:07Speaker 6: But no, well that wasn't the quem just we're just
- 25:11Speaker 6: talking about.
- 25:13Speaker 7: Was it, like, uh, was it some sort of extravagant
- 25:18Speaker 7: feature built.
- 25:19Speaker 4: Into the home.
- 25:21Speaker 8: No, something about changing his outfits to make everybody else
- 25:25Speaker 8: also change their outfits.
- 25:26Speaker 1: Interesting, But just.
- 25:27Speaker 2: Going to say, even if what even if a couple
- 25:29Speaker 2: of questions didn't count, that does put us at nineteen?
- 25:32Speaker 5: Did he have everyone wear wigs the French court to
- 25:35Speaker 5: hide the fact he had syphilis?
- 25:39Speaker 4: True?
- 25:39Speaker 5: Well?
- 25:39Speaker 1: True? Yeah, I mean it was also the life thing.
- 25:41Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, that's true.
- 25:45Speaker 9: True, But no, okay, No, I think I figured out
- 25:48Speaker 9: what the flex. I bet you did, Max, because we've
- 25:50Speaker 9: talked about it a lot. Yeah, it comes, it comes up.
- 25:54Speaker 9: Did he have American Probably? But I mean class as
- 26:00Speaker 9: was the fashion at the time, you know, So I
- 26:03Speaker 9: think that's all the questions.
- 26:05Speaker 1: Yeah, Noel, could you reveal the flex?
- 26:08Speaker 4: Yes? Please?
- 26:09Speaker 6: He apparently only took a proper bath twice in his
- 26:15Speaker 6: entire life.
- 26:16Speaker 4: Oh good.
- 26:17Speaker 6: And while we associate Rashi and the son King with
- 26:23Speaker 6: opulence and fashion and finery, Versai was actually a disgusting, filthy,
- 26:29Speaker 6: smelly place because nobody in his court really bathed. They
- 26:33Speaker 6: just kind of rinsed off the bits and when they
- 26:36Speaker 6: got sweaty and nasty. Another flex, which was not my
- 26:39Speaker 6: main flex, was that he would just change shirts, which
- 26:43Speaker 6: was also a flex of wealth to be able to
- 26:46Speaker 6: own enough clothes. You know, regular peasants would wash their
- 26:49Speaker 6: single shift, you know, in the freaking dirty river, you know,
- 26:53Speaker 6: and that was all they could do. They had one
- 26:55Speaker 6: or two and they passed them down to you know,
- 26:57Speaker 6: siblings and stuff. But yeah, he would apparently it was
- 27:00Speaker 6: close constantly.
- 27:01Speaker 7: But yeah, man, the cheesy onion funk you're.
- 27:10Speaker 1: Talking about this.
- 27:13Speaker 6: That smell where it's even when someone just masks their
- 27:17Speaker 6: funk with some old spice and then it just smells
- 27:19Speaker 6: like funky old spices.
- 27:20Speaker 1: It was new spice back then.
- 27:24Speaker 8: Really bad was the original Studio fifty four.
- 27:27Speaker 7: Older perfume formulas are much different than what we have today,
- 27:32Speaker 7: and there's a lot of like musky, it's not gonna
- 27:34Speaker 7: smells as nice, a lot of Yeah, it.
- 27:40Speaker 5: Would have been a bad cat gut.
- 27:43Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 27:44Speaker 6: Well, speaking speaking of cat guts, there were also a
- 27:47Speaker 6: lot of feral cats roaming all around.
- 27:50Speaker 1: The grounds of Versailles.
- 27:52Speaker 11: Uh.
- 27:52Speaker 6: They would just ship everywhere and apparently the road leading
- 27:56Speaker 6: different Sye was just strewn with desiccated cat carcasses.
- 28:03Speaker 7: Sorry, the smell of death and ammonia and.
- 28:08Speaker 6: Body funk and they didn't have indoor plumbing, and the
- 28:13Speaker 6: chamber pots, which were literally just pots that people would
- 28:16Speaker 6: you know, do their business and would be just thrown
- 28:19Speaker 6: out of windows. And Marinett herself was apparently once like
- 28:23Speaker 6: Dave Matthews band tour bus Chicago river style, dumped on
- 28:28Speaker 6: by a chamber pot being emptied out of the window.
- 28:30Speaker 2: Very common in that period of European history to look watch.
- 28:34Speaker 1: Out, watch out, getting the piano dropped on the disease.
- 28:39Speaker 5: You know, I don't think they would also have parasols,
- 28:41Speaker 5: you know, but they didn't. He wasn't.
- 28:46Speaker 6: I just think it's such an interesting historical like kind
- 28:50Speaker 6: of what's the word I'm looking for contradiction Where we
- 28:52Speaker 6: think of lou the fourteenth, he has his reputation as
- 28:54Speaker 6: being having the best art, the finest things VERSI. This
- 28:58Speaker 6: glistening palace he it was like, I think, a summer home.
- 29:02Speaker 6: But he wanted to get all of the nobles where
- 29:04Speaker 6: he could keep an eye on them, so he had
- 29:06Speaker 6: them all moved there out of Paris. He notoriously hated
- 29:09Speaker 6: Paris and wanted to like have this whole world that
- 29:12Speaker 6: he expanded and created these gardens and you know, but
- 29:15Speaker 6: it actually was just a nasty, funky cess pit of
- 29:19Speaker 6: a place.
- 29:20Speaker 8: Yeah. Yeah, to that point, Like think about how it's
- 29:22Speaker 8: it's considered like one of the you know, romantic, sexy,
- 29:25Speaker 8: sexiest times of history, with dangerous liaisons and all that stuff,
- 29:29Speaker 8: and everyone was just funking it up.
- 29:33Speaker 6: I think one, you know, the Victorian era was kind
- 29:37Speaker 6: of similar, and I think a film that does a
- 29:39Speaker 6: really good job of portraying kind of the finery in
- 29:42Speaker 6: the fashion but also the grotiness is the favorite by
- 29:45Speaker 6: yourgo slanthemos. It just has that sweaty gnarliness that everyone's
- 29:50Speaker 6: caked in this weird white makeup, and it just I
- 29:53Speaker 6: think he really nails and everyone's just having freaky orgies
- 29:56Speaker 6: and racing ducks and stuff.
- 29:58Speaker 1: I mean, it's really weird.
- 29:59Speaker 2: While and most importantly, bravo to Zarah and Elizabeth, very
- 30:06Speaker 2: well done.
- 30:07Speaker 1: And before you go ad break, I just want to
- 30:08Speaker 1: say one last things. I'm a nerd.
- 30:10Speaker 6: I think it's really interesting that, uh, three of my
- 30:13Speaker 6: favorite bands in the entire world, Daft Punk, Air and
- 30:17Speaker 6: Phoenix all grew up in Versailles and went to elementary
- 30:21Speaker 6: school and and what a weird thing.
- 30:24Speaker 1: And they yeah, and.
- 30:27Speaker 6: There they're like, I really like French disco and pop
- 30:30Speaker 6: and those are some of my three of my most
- 30:32Speaker 6: kind of formative.
- 30:34Speaker 5: Grew up in French disco Versailles area.
- 30:38Speaker 1: It is kind of interesting.
- 30:39Speaker 6: And they actually make cameos in uh in the Marie
- 30:42Speaker 6: Antoinette because the singer of Phoenix is married to.
- 30:45Speaker 5: So they say anything else, it's just sparkling pop.
- 30:52Speaker 6: There is no and Jojo Sia also invented French pop.
- 30:56Speaker 1: As it turns out good. Yeah, speak of cameos.
- 31:01Speaker 2: Let's feature some ads and we have returned, folks. There
- 31:13Speaker 2: is a game afoot, a great game in our opinion.
- 31:16Speaker 2: We hope you agree. And now we turn to ridiculous crime.
- 31:20Speaker 2: The one and only the Man, the myth, the legend
- 31:23Speaker 2: Zaren will be our next what we say, hot seat,
- 31:27Speaker 2: our next hot seater.
- 31:29Speaker 6: Quick question for the Parliace of twenty questions, isn't the
- 31:32Speaker 6: person asking the questions in the hots Yeah?
- 31:35Speaker 1: But we agreed earlier. Alight, yea cool, Google Cool.
- 31:39Speaker 5: We're bigger fans of the hot seat. We wanted more
- 31:41Speaker 5: people in the hot.
- 31:42Speaker 2: Seat like that, more hot seats.
- 31:45Speaker 5: Okay, all right, gentlemen, Well I'm ready for questions whenever
- 31:48Speaker 5: you're ready to drop them.
- 31:50Speaker 1: Yes, sir, question person alive? Yeah, that's it.
- 31:54Speaker 5: This person alive? Your animals, um, yes they are alive.
- 32:01Speaker 1: Did this person live in the United States?
- 32:05Speaker 5: Yes they did? Or yes they do, Yes they have.
- 32:10Speaker 6: Is this person uh in the field of entertainment?
- 32:16Speaker 5: Uh? No, not in the way we would think of.
- 32:19Speaker 5: But what he does is entertaining. But yes, he's not
- 32:21Speaker 5: an entertainer.
- 32:22Speaker 1: Fair enough clear?
- 32:25Speaker 6: No, No, I appreciate that. Yeah, okay, gave you a
- 32:28Speaker 6: few of those. Turnout that was really.
- 32:31Speaker 2: Interesting because that that paints a good picture for us.
- 32:36Speaker 1: Here we go.
- 32:37Speaker 2: Question four is this Would this person be considered a
- 32:40Speaker 2: political figure?
- 32:42Speaker 5: No, they are not a political figure.
- 32:45Speaker 1: These days, it doesn't take much.
- 32:47Speaker 2: No, not not political, not in entertainment.
- 32:51Speaker 1: But does entertainment.
- 32:52Speaker 6: Entertaining things, So that means that would rule out like
- 32:55Speaker 6: circus performer, that would rule out any traditional forms of anertainment.
- 33:00Speaker 1: But also not a politician.
- 33:02Speaker 9: I got a shot in the dark that probably won't land,
- 33:04Speaker 9: but if it lands, it I think will give it away.
- 33:06Speaker 1: Is this person a scientist?
- 33:08Speaker 5: Is this person a scientist or scientifical? I'm checking their profession.
- 33:16Speaker 5: I'll put it this way. It's not important to what
- 33:19Speaker 5: they do. So no, they're not a science okay. I mean,
- 33:24Speaker 5: you know, I don't know necessarily.
- 33:25Speaker 1: They may probably do science.
- 33:27Speaker 5: They have made they may have picked something up now
- 33:29Speaker 5: and I don't know in the last you know, they're
- 33:33Speaker 5: not known as a scientist.
- 33:34Speaker 9: I had a potential thread that if he would have
- 33:36Speaker 9: said yes, I would have given me.
- 33:37Speaker 1: Because I was you know what.
- 33:39Speaker 2: What I also like is I'm imagining this as the
- 33:41Speaker 2: world's most mysterious tender profile, you know, and they're like,
- 33:46Speaker 2: I'm not known for science, however, Okay, so uh this
- 33:52Speaker 2: we we have five questions.
- 33:53Speaker 6: So not a music, not a music, no entertainment, no musician,
- 33:57Speaker 6: no TV factor, and no politician, but someone of note
- 34:01Speaker 6: that we would be discussing in this context. I'm sure
- 34:04Speaker 6: this is just me like talking things through. Boy oh boy,
- 34:07Speaker 6: this is a cool one, and we don't wait wait wait,
- 34:09Speaker 6: this is also recapped. This doesn't count as a question.
- 34:11Speaker 6: Our very first question are they alive?
- 34:14Speaker 1: And you said yes, they are alive. That means they
- 34:16Speaker 1: are they are alive.
- 34:17Speaker 5: But I mean i'd say that I have not updated
- 34:20Speaker 5: this in the last few months, so there may be that,
- 34:22Speaker 5: like we go to Wikipedia and find out that they
- 34:25Speaker 5: last month, and I'm like, oh, man, so yeah, who's the.
- 34:27Speaker 6: Guy I'm sorry, Ben, who's the guy you're always asking?
- 34:30Speaker 6: If he said Henry kissing here he finally did die?
- 34:32Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly.
- 34:33Speaker 1: Can we get in as you By the way, let's
- 34:36Speaker 1: be real to go. I mean there's some real fanfare going.
- 34:39Speaker 2: Okay, so this is our sixth question for we're getting
- 34:43Speaker 2: our bearings.
- 34:44Speaker 6: Was this, if I may, was this person known for
- 34:48Speaker 6: inventing something?
- 34:50Speaker 1: No, that's a good question.
- 34:54Speaker 5: That's a good question.
- 34:55Speaker 9: We're eliminating a lot of box That's what we're trying
- 34:57Speaker 9: to do.
- 34:57Speaker 1: All right, Max, What do you got? I'll go after you.
- 35:02Speaker 1: I got, I got, I was helping you, but have Okay, yeah, yeah.
- 35:04Speaker 5: I got.
- 35:04Speaker 2: What is this person nationally or internationally recognized?
- 35:14Speaker 5: That's interesting, Like what do we mean by internationally recognized?
- 35:18Speaker 5: Can we give? Can we can we pair that down
- 35:19Speaker 5: a little?
- 35:20Speaker 1: Yeah? Sure.
- 35:21Speaker 2: So for narrowing the scope, we would say, is this,
- 35:23Speaker 2: for instance, someone like uh, like one of the French
- 35:29Speaker 2: Louis Like most people would.
- 35:30Speaker 5: Hear, Okay, they're not a household name.
- 35:34Speaker 1: Not a household name. Okay, okay, clearly not in our household.
- 35:39Speaker 2: I'm good, guys. If it's okay, they were good. It's
- 35:42Speaker 2: if it's okay, I'm gonna switch tax for a little bit.
- 35:44Speaker 1: Please triangulate. Let's yet question question Oh, okay, one six.
- 35:52Speaker 6: And that's the thing though, based on everything we know
- 35:56Speaker 6: what this person, the reason we would even be talking
- 35:59Speaker 6: about this person must be directly related to.
- 36:04Speaker 9: And I'm wondering if it's something historical like remember Elizabeth
- 36:07Speaker 9: did something that we talked about in one of our episodes.
- 36:10Speaker 6: Yes, which I thought was yes, yeah, yeah. Would this
- 36:19Speaker 6: person identify as as male?
- 36:23Speaker 5: This person definitely identified as male?
- 36:25Speaker 1: Okay?
- 36:26Speaker 5: Uh?
- 36:27Speaker 1: Then that's seventh question eight?
- 36:28Speaker 8: Uh?
- 36:29Speaker 2: Was their flex or is there flex considered a crime?
- 36:35Speaker 2: Was it legal or illegal?
- 36:37Speaker 5: No, it was not illegal, but some people did not
- 36:40Speaker 5: respond well to their flex when they were doing it.
- 36:43Speaker 5: But it was clearly not illegal, but it had dire
- 36:45Speaker 5: consequences for those for it had dire consequences.
- 36:49Speaker 1: Okay.
- 36:50Speaker 5: So people treated it like it was an a fence.
- 36:53Speaker 1: Okay, and it was.
- 36:54Speaker 2: Guys, we just got an important clue. That also means
- 36:57Speaker 2: the flex was not a single act.
- 37:00Speaker 1: It was it was a continuous behavior.
- 37:04Speaker 9: For some reason, my brain immediately went to Bernie made off.
- 37:06Speaker 9: But that was very much.
- 37:10Speaker 5: I would never do that to you, guys. It wouldn't
- 37:12Speaker 5: make you spend that much time thinking about.
- 37:14Speaker 1: Them about Bernie Maid, thank you? Was this person in finance? No, okay,
- 37:23Speaker 1: so that's nine. No, that's great, that's real. That's what
- 37:25Speaker 1: I was thinking too.
- 37:26Speaker 5: So I don't think just to help I don't think
- 37:29Speaker 5: you'll guess the person. I think you were much likely
- 37:31Speaker 5: or to guess the flex. Oh okay, So I want
- 37:36Speaker 5: to help them a little bit because I think I don't.
- 37:37Speaker 6: Think you okay, then we should definitely just keep on
- 37:41Speaker 6: keep on the flexes.
- 37:42Speaker 1: All right. So well, maybe maybe a time ranger.
- 37:47Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, go go.
- 37:48Speaker 6: I don't know what did this flex make headlines within
- 37:52Speaker 6: the last five years?
- 37:54Speaker 1: No, damn, okay, some reason. If I was like eighties,
- 38:00Speaker 1: probably it was.
- 38:02Speaker 5: Is that a question?
- 38:03Speaker 1: No, I know.
- 38:06Speaker 9: Do we hear any question mark at the end of
- 38:08Speaker 9: that question?
- 38:09Speaker 2: I like what we're getting procedural with this?
- 38:11Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 38:12Speaker 9: No, oh boy, okay, get pedantic when you get pedantic?
- 38:15Speaker 1: All right?
- 38:15Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, be a ringer. Okay about this. I like
- 38:18Speaker 2: where you're going all the timeline stuff. What about this?
- 38:22Speaker 1: Uh? Did this flex occur pre or post the advent
- 38:27Speaker 1: of the Internet pre.
- 38:30Speaker 12: That's a good one, thank you for well, okay, I
- 38:32Speaker 12: was let me let me qualify that because like you know,
- 38:35Speaker 12: the ARPA net or the original yuh okay, that was
- 38:39Speaker 12: in existence, but the Internet is we think of it
- 38:43Speaker 12: was not. So the Internet was not but there was
- 38:45Speaker 12: online communication from you know, colleges to the Pentagon or whatever.
- 38:49Speaker 1: Just not like I want to be very clear about.
- 38:52Speaker 4: Yeah, worldwide web was what eighty nine?
- 38:55Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, is it Max Headroom No, I like it,
- 39:04Speaker 6: like everything. I mean, it does a little bit because
- 39:07Speaker 6: that guy that wasn't there was someone behind it, but
- 39:10Speaker 6: we don't know.
- 39:10Speaker 4: But also we.
- 39:11Speaker 7: Did that episode about the signal interruption in Chicago or
- 39:15Speaker 7: someone broke into the signal with the Max Headroom.
- 39:18Speaker 6: I mean that's what I meant. That's that's what I was.
- 39:21Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly fake and bear buttocks. Oh boy. All right,
- 39:25Speaker 1: that's a cool story.
- 39:26Speaker 6: And that was pre internet, and it's sort of like
- 39:28Speaker 6: proto Internetti type hacking.
- 39:31Speaker 1: Before hacking was.
- 39:32Speaker 4: Hacking cutting right into doctor who.
- 39:34Speaker 2: Take it with some noted scriptive movements that feeling good
- 39:39Speaker 2: about this one guy.
- 39:40Speaker 1: I'm not either.
- 39:42Speaker 9: I got nothing benthly and yet.
- 39:48Speaker 1: That Yeah, so I'm thinking it's.
- 39:50Speaker 9: Got to be nineteen eighties, maybe seventies, because if this
- 39:53Speaker 9: person is still alive, if they did it, you know,
- 39:55Speaker 9: when they're like thirty years old.
- 39:57Speaker 1: In the eighties, that of putamatic not a crime. So
- 39:59Speaker 1: it was you know, it has something.
- 40:01Speaker 9: That was frowned on upon but lasted over time.
- 40:04Speaker 5: It was considered an offense in something.
- 40:06Speaker 6: Could it have been considered a political act, an active protest?
- 40:12Speaker 5: It was not an active protest, but it was politically applauded.
- 40:18Speaker 2: Okay, so now we're looking at some sort of that's
- 40:21Speaker 2: a great question, right of some sort I later obviously.
- 40:26Speaker 9: Yeah something, And I mean I'm just gonna go ahead
- 40:30Speaker 9: and guess because if we're thinking nineteen eighties, probably something
- 40:33Speaker 9: anti Reagan. We don't even know it's hades though, that's
- 40:36Speaker 9: the thing, but it just feeling.
- 40:38Speaker 5: If he had to.
- 40:41Speaker 6: That was that's it must be right on the cut. Yeah,
- 40:44Speaker 6: there's still plenty of questions though, guys.
- 40:46Speaker 9: Actual, Yeah, so I think he's hitting us that it
- 40:51Speaker 9: is not eighties.
- 40:52Speaker 1: Yeah, around or be misled, because.
- 40:55Speaker 5: No, I would never mislead you. I want I'm.
- 40:57Speaker 1: Reading miss, I'm a scholar.
- 41:00Speaker 2: No, I'm thinking through, guys, because there's something very interesting
- 41:04Speaker 2: about the construction here. If it's not illegal, but we
- 41:08Speaker 2: know it has dire consequences by some analyticals.
- 41:13Speaker 9: And we will know, and we will know the act
- 41:15Speaker 9: more likely than we will know exactly.
- 41:18Speaker 5: Would you like a hint?
- 41:19Speaker 1: Can I say one thing?
- 41:21Speaker 6: It's it's giving civil disobedience vibes, and I don't.
- 41:27Speaker 1: I mean that's I just want to say that out loud.
- 41:29Speaker 6: But it also seems to me as though the person
- 41:32Speaker 6: wasn't doing it inherently as an act of civil disobedience,
- 41:35Speaker 6: but it was interpreted as such and applauded politically. So
- 41:39Speaker 6: how could someone accidentally, by virtue of just doing something
- 41:43Speaker 6: that are being like stubborn or whatever, be seen as
- 41:46Speaker 6: a you know, positive political gesture, social mose.
- 41:50Speaker 5: You love of God, I would say this. It wasn't
- 41:56Speaker 5: the eighties, it wasn't the sixties, So whatever's between them?
- 42:00Speaker 5: And here's here's another hand. It was not civil disobedience,
- 42:03Speaker 5: it would be pregnant to the exact opposite is more
- 42:06Speaker 5: civil connection.
- 42:13Speaker 1: So like so fallen in line.
- 42:16Speaker 5: No, no, no, no civil connection. Think what connection means?
- 42:19Speaker 7: Right?
- 42:20Speaker 5: It's coming to a chord. That's people coming together. That's
- 42:24Speaker 5: what to do.
- 42:26Speaker 9: Politicians like the public took offense to it. Sounds like people,
- 42:32Speaker 9: this was.
- 42:35Speaker 1: Is our person, mister Rogers.
- 42:36Speaker 5: No, but good, Yeah, but he did. But that type
- 42:39Speaker 5: of energy.
- 42:40Speaker 1: Oh that's right. Yeah, I keep forgetting.
- 42:42Speaker 6: But remember he said we would never guess the person.
- 42:44Speaker 6: We'd likely no one would.
- 42:48Speaker 4: Famous doesn't count.
- 42:49Speaker 5: No, I'm just reinforcing that. That's definitely you will not
- 42:52Speaker 5: guess the person.
- 42:53Speaker 4: Or are we counting that that guess?
- 42:58Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 42:58Speaker 5: I think so. They were accounting right now.
- 43:03Speaker 9: That's my account my braink And only thing about Bob
- 43:05Speaker 9: Ross now I was thinking about but we wouldn't it wouldn't.
- 43:08Speaker 1: Yeah, we wouldn't know him.
- 43:10Speaker 2: Not as secret Okay, yeah, our only hope is the
- 43:15Speaker 2: secret phrase.
- 43:17Speaker 1: Okay, civil connection.
- 43:19Speaker 2: Civil connection would be denining the people in the seventies, right,
- 43:24Speaker 2: or attempting to unite some measurable demographic thereof.
- 43:28Speaker 9: So this is this is Nixon, then then it's Ford,
- 43:32Speaker 9: then it's communism.
- 43:34Speaker 1: Does this have something to do with communism?
- 43:36Speaker 5: No, there's nothing, just a red herring.
- 43:40Speaker 9: Let's just let's just think Ford, Carter, Nixon, Ford, Carter,
- 43:46Speaker 9: those are the three presidents of this.
- 43:48Speaker 1: That's the three eras up there.
- 43:49Speaker 9: So it's like, very it's only two years of Nixon
- 43:52Speaker 9: or to some some with.
- 43:55Speaker 2: And just internally, Watergate is not a matter of social connection.
- 44:00Speaker 5: Watergate plays no hand in this. But I'll tell you this,
- 44:05Speaker 5: but it started before Watergate and or I'm sorry it started.
- 44:10Speaker 5: It started in Nixon's America and ended after Nixon left.
- 44:14Speaker 1: Ah, I really defines it.
- 44:17Speaker 5: Get you get it down to a year for youore brain,
- 44:24Speaker 5: two kinds, two kids, you all, and I'm leaning on
- 44:27Speaker 5: you for this one.
- 44:27Speaker 1: This is it feels like it's in your wheelhouse. What
- 44:29Speaker 1: are you talking about? I can't see anything.
- 44:31Speaker 6: Kind of does though, it does a little bit, but
- 44:34Speaker 6: I mean it's just I think that's a clue.
- 44:36Speaker 1: It's a tricky one. It's oh that was a clue.
- 44:38Speaker 7: No, it's just more like a sense of I feel
- 44:41Speaker 7: like this is a flex. Who are really going to
- 44:44Speaker 7: Ben's very Yeah, that's the thing that that's another clue.
- 44:49Speaker 7: That is a clue that while this person America, you
- 44:53Speaker 7: got about four left to.
- 44:54Speaker 1: Guess, so the flex likely did not take place in America.
- 44:58Speaker 1: I'm getting too into the weed. Yes I do.
- 45:01Speaker 9: He's gotten so far down a rabbit hole and I'm like,
- 45:04Speaker 9: oh crap.
- 45:05Speaker 2: I mean I'm thinking of stuff like the War on
- 45:08Speaker 2: drugs or opening.
- 45:09Speaker 1: Here something like.
- 45:10Speaker 9: I was thinking like for some reason, I got Abbi
- 45:12Speaker 9: Hoffman now stuck in my head.
- 45:13Speaker 1: I'm like, it's not Abby.
- 45:14Speaker 5: Hoff I won't consider that was not a question.
- 45:18Speaker 1: That was not a question that was.
- 45:20Speaker 5: Just joined yours table. I don't know what I'm doing
- 45:22Speaker 5: over in this.
- 45:26Speaker 6: Was it the hippie that put the flower in the gun?
- 45:32Speaker 6: It was a male identifying person, if I remember, at
- 45:35Speaker 6: least in watching it.
- 45:37Speaker 5: Okay, Oh, it's so uh it doesn't matter because we've
- 45:40Speaker 5: we talked about this. But the guy actually died in January.
- 45:43Speaker 5: So oh no he is I don't think so. No,
- 45:47Speaker 5: that's a different dude. Yeah, getting text a different dude. No,
- 45:52Speaker 5: no surving. Sorry, I look at my phone with this,
- 45:55Speaker 5: I get all confused.
- 45:57Speaker 6: I'm just glad y'all had a communication breakdown just like
- 46:00Speaker 6: we did.
- 46:01Speaker 5: Were almost okay, why it was offered a hint for
- 46:05Speaker 5: you guys. My teammates presented a hint. What this person
- 46:11Speaker 5: their flex what they did. It did not set a
- 46:14Speaker 5: Guinness record, but it came close.
- 46:17Speaker 2: Oh hands across America.
- 46:20Speaker 5: Oh that's that's the type of vein we're talking about.
- 46:23Speaker 7: So.
- 46:25Speaker 1: America or something. I don't know. Okay, I don't know that.
- 46:29Speaker 6: You didn't say was it?
- 46:30Speaker 5: You just said, yeah, I didn't.
- 46:32Speaker 1: I don't think that counts.
- 46:33Speaker 5: That guy's got four questions.
- 46:35Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, okay, we still got four. All right.
- 46:37Speaker 2: So it's something like one of those semi grassroots feel
- 46:42Speaker 2: good movements. I'm just a connection because people are holding hands,
- 46:45Speaker 2: so we've got.
- 46:48Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 46:48Speaker 1: So it could be guys, Magic that wrote was it
- 46:54Speaker 1: Jesus Christ that that's a hell of a flex Jesus everybody?
- 47:01Speaker 1: That was his biggest fox. Actually he had a book later.
- 47:05Speaker 1: It sounds like sidebar.
- 47:06Speaker 9: It's something that involves something kind of similar to Againnis
- 47:10Speaker 9: world record.
- 47:11Speaker 2: Yeah, most for most people together for some years, marching time.
- 47:15Speaker 5: It has nothing to do with Cheft goes to Africa.
- 47:19Speaker 1: Oh well, I'm out of guesses.
- 47:20Speaker 5: Yeah, so that helps.
- 47:21Speaker 6: And now I'm thinking I'm thinking Live aid or something.
- 47:25Speaker 1: But free Tybette.
- 47:26Speaker 6: Movement maybe a little early on that, oh yeah, earlier
- 47:30Speaker 6: that was like nineties.
- 47:32Speaker 1: I think kind of the Beastie Boys invented that.
- 47:36Speaker 6: People this one while all right, guys, I'm throwing the
- 47:43Speaker 6: towel here.
- 47:44Speaker 1: It wasn't a musician.
- 47:45Speaker 5: The heck of a story. I gotta got a good
- 47:47Speaker 5: story for you whenever you're.
- 47:48Speaker 1: I'm excited for the chat. I want to just get
- 47:50Speaker 1: it over with so we can talk about the hell,
- 47:52Speaker 1: just to hear that. You guys, okay with that? Okay,
- 47:54Speaker 1: I think it's fine. Well here, let's just for the
- 47:57Speaker 1: people at home.
- 47:58Speaker 5: I will now read you a story and then you
- 48:01Speaker 5: will quickly figure out what we talked about. My dude
- 48:03Speaker 5: was born in nineteen thirty nine. One day, when he
- 48:05Speaker 5: was thirty one years old, his name was Dave. He
- 48:07Speaker 5: decided to start walking all the way Arouckey. He walked
- 48:14Speaker 5: fourteen four hundred and fifty miles or twenty three thousand,
- 48:17Speaker 5: two hundred fifty kilometers for everyone who's not American. Originally
- 48:20Speaker 5: it was supposed to be David and his brother John.
- 48:22Speaker 5: The two set off together from their hometown of Wasika, Minnesota,
- 48:26Speaker 5: all of their supplies loaded into a wagon pulled by
- 48:28Speaker 5: a mule. The jackass was named Willy, government named Willy
- 48:32Speaker 5: make It. Now. Together the two brothers and their jackass,
- 48:35Speaker 5: Willy Make It they headed east. They walked all the
- 48:37Speaker 5: way to New York City. There they touched the Atlantic Ocean.
- 48:40Speaker 5: Then they flew across the Atlantic to Lisbon, Portugal. They
- 48:43Speaker 5: had to leave the mule behind. Once they landed in Europe,
- 48:45Speaker 5: they touched the Atlantic Ocean again and then continued east.
- 48:48Speaker 5: But first they got themselves a new mule, a Portuguese
- 48:51Speaker 5: pack mule, and they named him, wait for it, Willy
- 48:54Speaker 5: make it too. As they wandered east, they the three
- 48:58Speaker 5: then stopped in Monaco, where they met Princess Grace. According
- 49:00Speaker 5: to the reports of their visit, the princess loved their ass.
- 49:03Speaker 5: She even accepted a gift from them, a lucky mule shoe.
- 49:06Speaker 5: The Kuns brothers that's their last name, and their jackass.
- 49:08Speaker 5: Will they make it too? Continued east. In Venice, Italy.
- 49:11Speaker 5: They were harangued by locals for bringing a mule into town,
- 49:14Speaker 5: which was technically illegal, but there was no real rule
- 49:17Speaker 5: about it because of all the craps in the canals.
- 49:19Speaker 5: They said, don't do this anyway. The mayor gave them
- 49:21Speaker 5: special permission where the brothers in Venice then ran into
- 49:25Speaker 5: Thor hired all the explorer navigator. They had dinner with
- 49:28Speaker 5: him after they continued east and they make it to
- 49:30Speaker 5: Turkey and then they go into Iran. They continued east
- 49:33Speaker 5: to Afghanistan. That's where tragedies struck. They had just crossed
- 49:36Speaker 5: the land known as the Desert of Death and they
- 49:39Speaker 5: were in the foothills of the Hindu Kush Mountains when
- 49:42Speaker 5: the bandits attacked the brothers and their mule. The bandits
- 49:46Speaker 5: had read about the brothers who were collecting money for UNICEF,
- 49:49Speaker 5: and they wanted that good UNISEF change, so.
- 49:52Speaker 1: They shot them.
- 49:53Speaker 5: The one guy, Dave, was shot in the chest. His
- 49:57Speaker 5: brother John also shot. He died from his gunshot wound
- 50:01Speaker 5: there in the Kyber Pass. So Dave then flew back
- 50:04Speaker 5: home to bury his brother. Four months later, he goes
- 50:07Speaker 5: back to the exact spot that his brother was dead,
- 50:10Speaker 5: where his brother died, and with his other brother Pete,
- 50:13Speaker 5: they started up again. They then walk continuously from that
- 50:16Speaker 5: exact point all the way to through the Kiber Pass,
- 50:20Speaker 5: where the local tribal prints who had been reading about
- 50:23Speaker 5: them in the local newspaper, he guaranteed their safety. After
- 50:26Speaker 5: that point, they were the first non Asians to walk
- 50:28Speaker 5: through the Kyber Pass since Alexander the Great. The brothers
- 50:32Speaker 5: crossed India during monsoon season, but they finally make it
- 50:35Speaker 5: to the coast. At Calcutta, they touched the Indian Ocean.
- 50:37Speaker 5: Then they flew to Perth, Australia, where they again touched
- 50:40Speaker 5: the Indian Ocean.
- 50:41Speaker 1: Pete the brazy had to.
- 50:44Speaker 5: Fly back to the US. So Dave alone now walks
- 50:47Speaker 5: across Australia from basically the red side to the wet side.
- 50:52Speaker 5: He would walk all the way across the great red
- 50:54Speaker 5: desert of Australia by himself. What's what we call a
- 50:56Speaker 5: fools mission in America, or they call a dead man's
- 50:59Speaker 5: walk in Australia. Anyway, Australia wouldn't let his mule will
- 51:02Speaker 5: he make it too into the country for fear of diseases.
- 51:05Speaker 5: So Dave would have to drag his supply wagon himself.
- 51:08Speaker 5: There's no way anyone thought he could do it. Luckily,
- 51:10Speaker 5: a schoolteacher named Jenny Samuel, a young lassie with some
- 51:13Speaker 5: time on her hands. She offered to drive her car
- 51:16Speaker 5: in low gear and tow his wagon across the Australian outback.
- 51:19Speaker 5: The two then just sat there while he walked next
- 51:22Speaker 5: to his car, her driving, and they chatted all the
- 51:24Speaker 5: way across Australia. Of course, they fell in love. When
- 51:28Speaker 5: Dave and Jenny finally reached Sydney, he kissed her goodbye.
- 51:30Speaker 5: They parted ways. He touched the Pacific Ocean. He then
- 51:33Speaker 5: flew to la where he touched the Pacific Ocean again,
- 51:36Speaker 5: and then from Newport Beach walked all the way across
- 51:38Speaker 5: the Western United States. They finally arrived back in Wasseika, Minnesota,
- 51:42Speaker 5: on October fifth, nineteen seventy four, four years, three months
- 51:47Speaker 5: and sixteen days after he originally left. He crossed four
- 51:50Speaker 5: continents and set foot in thirteen countries. The Governor of
- 51:53Speaker 5: Minnesota declared February twenty first to be Coonst Brother's Day
- 51:56Speaker 5: in celebration and memorial. He was officially independently confirmed to
- 52:00Speaker 5: be the first person to ever walk around the Earth.
- 52:03Speaker 5: I walked twenty million steps, he calculated. That's an average
- 52:07Speaker 5: of thirty one steps per one hundred feet. He wore out,
- 52:11Speaker 5: and I quote, I wore out twenty one pairs of shoes.
- 52:13Speaker 5: But I proved something to myself. If a human being
- 52:16Speaker 5: makes up his mind, is determined, sets goals, he can
- 52:19Speaker 5: walk around the world. He can also meet a pretty
- 52:21Speaker 5: lastee in Australia and find love. Because he did. He
- 52:24Speaker 5: found Jenny. They stayed together for a year. The couple
- 52:26Speaker 5: flew back to the US, where they married, and they
- 52:28Speaker 5: are still together to this very day and they live
- 52:31Speaker 5: in Orange Cave Cotes. Give it up.
- 52:35Speaker 1: It feels a little try hard to me.
- 52:38Speaker 9: It's like, I'm gonna stay at this guy standing this
- 52:41Speaker 9: right now. Rewind your podcast. Listen, listen to me. Rewind
- 52:45Speaker 9: your podcast previously on ridiculous history.
- 52:49Speaker 10: That's the type of vein we're talking about. So keep
- 52:52Speaker 10: thinking all America or something I don't know, all right
- 52:58Speaker 10: America or something I don't know?
- 53:00Speaker 5: Is somebody.
- 53:02Speaker 9: Something I suddenly said something like someone who walked around
- 53:06Speaker 9: a whole bunch. I didn't say it loudly, stick enough
- 53:10Speaker 9: and stick to my gun.
- 53:11Speaker 1: There's like you gotta just scream into this.

- 1:06:10Speaker 6: the one time I tried to do it. My kid
- 1:06:11Speaker 6: was still very young. I've always had a full beard,
- 1:06:13Speaker 6: and I did it one time to go and tour
- 1:06:15Speaker 6: with this band that I was in, and my kid
- 1:06:16Speaker 6: distrusted me for a year, like it like.
- 1:06:19Speaker 1: Didn't recognize me.
- 1:06:20Speaker 7: It was.
- 1:06:21Speaker 6: It was a traumatic thing. They still remember it to
- 1:06:23Speaker 6: this day and they're fifteen. Now, this is like when
- 1:06:25Speaker 6: they were like six.
- 1:06:26Speaker 9: Speaking of fifteen, whether we had fifteen or sixteen sixteen, Dave,
- 1:06:31Speaker 9: you got a guest on a president and you want
- 1:06:32Speaker 9: to throw on it from the eighteen I'm.
- 1:06:34Speaker 8: Still I'm still trying to think of things that will
- 1:06:36Speaker 8: help us eliminate Like we could ask about, uh, if
- 1:06:40Speaker 8: they sign any famous treat.
- 1:06:42Speaker 1: Can I do it a hint? Sure?
- 1:06:45Speaker 2: Yeah, you just said, okay, okay, just to just quit
- 1:06:48Speaker 2: pro quo because you know we were we had such
- 1:06:52Speaker 2: lovely hints last night. Maybe helpful since we've said us
- 1:06:55Speaker 2: presidents may be helpful to think of things that distinguished
- 1:07:00Speaker 2: those public figures, right, so we talked about mustaches. Maybe
- 1:07:03Speaker 2: keep pulling threads.
- 1:07:06Speaker 1: How about this case?
- 1:07:07Speaker 5: I mean, it's only I can think.
- 1:07:08Speaker 9: Of his political party. He was a Republican. Was it
- 1:07:13Speaker 9: was a compliment back then.
- 1:07:19Speaker 7: For me?
- 1:07:21Speaker 5: Can I guess the flex I'm gonna guess that he's
- 1:07:24Speaker 5: the only person to be a president and a Supreme
- 1:07:26Speaker 5: Court Justice Boom, you got.
- 1:07:27Speaker 6: It, officially annihilated seam ridiculous history.
- 1:07:34Speaker 9: All right, So to jump in here for anyone who's
- 1:07:36Speaker 9: listening to Ridiculous History, and they will know that William
- 1:07:39Speaker 9: Howard Taft is often remarked as one of my favorite presidents.
- 1:07:41Speaker 9: He did a lot of good stuff. The funniest thing
- 1:07:43Speaker 9: I had like five flexes. You would have gotten any
- 1:07:45Speaker 9: of them.
- 1:07:45Speaker 1: You, I would have kind of you picked up that
- 1:07:47Speaker 1: was obviously the most remarkable one. I mean he picked
- 1:07:49Speaker 1: that right off.
- 1:07:50Speaker 2: Well, there's the getting stuck in a bathtub.
- 1:07:53Speaker 1: That's fake.
- 1:07:54Speaker 9: He did not get say in the bathtub, but he
- 1:07:58Speaker 9: looked at the bathtub and he liked taking bath. He
- 1:08:00Speaker 9: looked at the bathtub and he said, let's get a
- 1:08:03Speaker 9: bigger one.
- 1:08:04Speaker 2: And I think that that is an amazing point for
- 1:08:07Speaker 2: us to speak your points. Guys, Congratulations to Ridiculous Elizabeth
- 1:08:15Speaker 2: Zaren Dave. Do you do you have any thank you
- 1:08:18Speaker 2: speeches to your adoring fans before you learn your prize?
- 1:08:22Speaker 6: I want to.
- 1:08:23Speaker 7: I want to thank you guys that for you know,
- 1:08:25Speaker 7: coming together and giving me something absolutely fun and escapist.
- 1:08:31Speaker 4: And silly on a day when you know we don't
- 1:08:34Speaker 4: always get those kind of things.
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: I feel this.
- 1:08:36Speaker 6: We feel the same way about you all. I really
- 1:08:38Speaker 6: we do have to kind of make this a rolling
- 1:08:40Speaker 6: thing at the very least, so that we can clar
- 1:08:42Speaker 6: our way back out of this pit of that is
- 1:08:46Speaker 6: being the losers of a ridiculous twenty question.
- 1:08:49Speaker 4: I think that's that's my challenge to to you guys.
- 1:08:52Speaker 4: Just come up with another game. You just do a
- 1:08:56Speaker 4: different games, different games, and then we can. We can.
- 1:09:00Speaker 1: Next time, we will only do animals. We will only.
- 1:09:05Speaker 4: You want me to win again?
- 1:09:07Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna say it's too much, because Elizabeth
- 1:09:09Speaker 1: knows every living person living. I can't name the president,
- 1:09:15Speaker 1: but she guessed half very well done.
- 1:09:20Speaker 2: Well, the guy was notably an animal of state craft, right,
- 1:09:23Speaker 2: and we're thankful, I guess for ais.
- 1:09:28Speaker 10: Right.
- 1:09:28Speaker 1: I'm really it today.
- 1:09:30Speaker 2: I'm actually not that bad at these so I'm gonna
- 1:09:32Speaker 2: I'm gonna point that out in all, but we do
- 1:09:35Speaker 2: have a prize for you. Yeah, yeah, prize because to
- 1:09:40Speaker 2: the victors go the spoils. We earlier mentioned our drawing room,
- 1:09:44Speaker 2: So as the winners of this great collaboration, you, the
- 1:09:51Speaker 2: the rulers of the Rude Dudes, can tell us what
- 1:09:54Speaker 2: kind of drawing you would like for us to make
- 1:09:57Speaker 2: for you, and we will make it and we will
- 1:09:59Speaker 2: send it to you.

- 1:10:04Speaker 1: like A, like A. It's up to you.
- 1:10:06Speaker 7: I think a drawing of our show mascot, which is
- 1:10:12Speaker 7: a dog generally a Golden Retriever wearing sunglasses.
- 1:10:16Speaker 8: That's top optional.
- 1:10:18Speaker 5: That's the ultimate root party mode.
- 1:10:21Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, uh no, no, no, the question.
- 1:10:28Speaker 4: I wanted to give you a gorgeous portrait of Taft
- 1:10:31Speaker 4: and you want to know, how.
- 1:10:33Speaker 6: About we do Taft as dog wearing sunglasses with mustache?
- 1:10:37Speaker 2: What you guys, that's a great idea. Though, what you
- 1:10:40Speaker 2: guys saw me typing was internal note to myself, which
- 1:10:43Speaker 2: was like, how sexy you shout the retriever.
- 1:10:48Speaker 1: You should have a bit of a calm hither vibe,
- 1:10:50Speaker 1: but not trying too hard.
- 1:10:53Speaker 5: Whatever dog has Taft on a leash.
- 1:10:59Speaker 1: Making him sniff the glove.
- 1:11:06Speaker 5: GPT.
- 1:11:07Speaker 1: Right now, we don't need cheat GPT.
- 1:11:10Speaker 6: We have.
- 1:11:10Speaker 1: It's called imagination.
- 1:11:13Speaker 2: I'm typing it fore and actually a doc ad open
- 1:11:16Speaker 2: for notes on another show.
- 1:11:17Speaker 1: I'm just gonna leave it so No, you can't tell
- 1:11:24Speaker 1: our buddy Matt. I never would. I wouldn't do it.

- 1:11:45Speaker 1: no chumps in the squad.
- 1:11:46Speaker 6: No, only champs, zero chumps. They sound similar, but there's
- 1:11:50Speaker 6: one letter's difference.
- 1:11:51Speaker 1: It's a big difference. Indeed, thank you so much for

- 1:12:15Speaker 6: Hopefully I can at least get a color pass in
- 1:12:18Speaker 6: or do some little side margin doodles or something in
- 1:12:21Speaker 6: the background.
- 1:12:22Speaker 1: Maybe we can make it a collab kind of stitch.

- 1:12:26Speaker 9: and then give like really specific creative notes that don't
- 1:12:30Speaker 9: really go along with it, and then disappear without explaining
