A Conversation Between History Buff(oon)s

A Conversation Between History Buff(oon)s

Imagine unraveling the intricate web of World War II over a casual drink, understanding how a small group used psychological manipulation to control millions. Join us as we explore this chilling history, revealing the dark secrets of the Nazi regime. We even find ourselves captivated by maritime history, discussing shipwrecks and naval battles despite our initial indifference to the ocean.

Our curiosity knows no bounds as we journey back to medieval times, delving into the romanticized world of knights and Arthurian legends. Personal challenges, like ADD, have driven our search for lesser-known historical figures such as Phyllis Wheatley and the Sullivan brothers. These stories push us beyond conventional narratives, offering a fresh and nuanced view of the past, all while enriching our own understanding.

As we recount the making of our podcast, we share the poignant story of Rosemary Kennedy and her lobotomy, reflecting on the haunting history of such procedures. We're committed to uncovering the oddities of history, and we invite you to join us in this quest. Engage with us by sharing your questions and topic suggestions, as we strive to discover and share captivating historical narratives that resonate with our listeners.

Cheers, cheers, cheers, crestroom cheers Modelo Summer Shandy, it is mine.

00:00:30.074 --> 00:00:33.723
Well, yeah, no, we thought we would just kind of.

00:00:34.405 --> 00:00:35.249
Have a conversation.

00:00:35.289 --> 00:00:36.192
Have a conversation.

00:00:36.192 --> 00:00:38.944
Nothing is prepared, not at all.

00:00:39.506 --> 00:00:46.362
That's okay, but I guess I know I've asked you about World War II, your like of it.

00:00:46.362 --> 00:00:54.567
But what makes you enjoy history the way you do, and not specifically World War II?

00:00:54.567 --> 00:00:59.890
We'll get to that, but what fascinates you about history?

00:01:03.021 --> 00:01:16.162
I was never really into it in school right and I don't think I was really into it until I started watching movies and kind of remembering movies.

00:01:16.302 --> 00:01:24.408
Sure, um, I started liking war movies right which Right which, again, is your go-to history?

00:01:26.168 --> 00:01:37.837
So what drew me was World War II history, mostly the Germans, the Nazis, and how that all worked out.

00:01:38.177 --> 00:01:38.418
Right.

00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:56.406
But as I've, been researching for History Buffoons, I've noticed that, yes, wars are something that I find fascinating, and then something very bizarre.

00:01:56.406 --> 00:02:06.700
But I kind of started piecing together like, hmm, I keep clicking on this type of topic, Even though I'm not choosing it right now because, I've done one or two already.

00:02:06.700 --> 00:02:13.721
I've been a little bit more interested in learning about, like nautical events okay that's awesome which?

00:02:13.760 --> 00:02:30.967
has never been a thing of mine sure and not just, like world war ii, specific nautical no you know, like we've done, you know the juno, about the juno, you know that was very nautical, but shipwrecks, and I've always been fascinated by stuff like that, especially older ones, of course.

00:02:30.967 --> 00:02:34.342
Um, what, what draws you?

00:02:34.342 --> 00:02:39.241
I know you mentioned, you know, nazis, germans, how it all worked out, blah blah, but what really like?

00:02:39.241 --> 00:02:44.931
What's the main thing that you always think about when you think about world war ii, history?

00:02:45.312 --> 00:02:46.253
the holocaust.

00:02:46.253 --> 00:02:53.471
What interests me is how a group of people granted it's, it's a.

00:02:53.471 --> 00:03:04.031
It was a government essentially at the time, yeah, of course um a movement on how these individuals can control a whole race.

00:03:04.031 --> 00:03:07.716
Sure, I think that is really fascinating.

00:03:07.716 --> 00:03:09.181
It's so scary.

00:03:09.200 --> 00:03:24.260
Well, yeah, because of what they did to try and beat them into submission, basically yeah, or annihilate them, for that matter there was plenty of heroes doing undercover stuff and behind-the-scenes stuff, oh for sure, and those are still coming to light, you know, but so many people just succumb to this.

00:03:24.260 --> 00:03:30.316
And behind the scenes stuff and oh for sure, and those are still like, coming to light, you know, but so many people just succumb to this and it's.

00:03:30.316 --> 00:03:44.626
I find it really interesting that I guess it's in the numbers, I guess, like this small group of people is controlling this really large group of people isn't that wild because, wouldn't you think like it would be the opposite

00:03:44.665 --> 00:03:45.447
strength in numbers.

00:03:45.447 --> 00:03:48.211
Yeah, like, um, no, we're gonna not do that.

00:03:48.211 --> 00:04:03.182
We got more people than you, but yet they they had enough people follow their ideals that were forceful enough with their military guns, all that whatever, and be like, no, you're gonna listen to what the fuck we're saying.

00:04:03.182 --> 00:04:04.965
And people then did.

00:04:04.965 --> 00:04:06.887
It was just wild that they could do that.

00:04:06.887 --> 00:04:20.899
But like you said in the Trottle episode, how her husband, new husband I'd rather go to the front lines than be around Hitler because he is so manipulative.

00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:24.819
I won't know where my thoughts Start or end, or anything.

00:04:24.819 --> 00:04:26.074
Yeah, I won't know where my thoughts start or end or anything.

00:04:26.074 --> 00:04:34.540
Yeah, so I mean it's just to be that controlling or manipulative over someone's thoughts and life and brain, whatever.

00:04:34.540 --> 00:04:35.678
It's just wild.

00:04:35.678 --> 00:04:37.906
So I get your love for that.

00:04:37.906 --> 00:04:38.670
That makes sense.

00:04:39.603 --> 00:04:41.288
Well, my fascination to learn it.

00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:44.944
Well, I guess, sure it's more accurate, but I'm not really sure where the nautical stuff came from.

00:04:45.065 --> 00:04:45.809
It's a fascination to learn it.

00:04:45.809 --> 00:04:49.345
Well, I guess, sure it's more accurate, but Well, you know what I mean and I'm not really sure where the nautical stuff came from.

00:04:49.384 --> 00:04:50.588
You've been finding it interesting.

00:04:50.689 --> 00:04:53.322
Yeah, that's good though, but I'm trying not to like.

00:04:53.322 --> 00:04:56.088
I want to do it on this boat and this ship and this.

00:04:56.350 --> 00:04:58.314
U-boat and this submarine.

00:04:58.314 --> 00:04:59.661
Yeah, no, I get that.

00:05:01.004 --> 00:05:05.471
But there's a couple on my topic list that I would like to, uh, to work in.

00:05:05.471 --> 00:05:12.666
Well, we can over time, and I'm not an ocean person, like I don't mind being at the beach Um, I don't mind that at all.

00:05:12.666 --> 00:05:26.389
I'm much more of a mountains person, but, um, I get motion sick as well, so I can't really be on the water very much, right, um, so that wasn't ever something that I was super interested in.

00:05:26.389 --> 00:05:38.512
Um, so the fact that I'm like I want to learn more about it, yeah, that's that's new for me, but I, I like that, I like that, I, I'm interested in it and I am I am a person that I always want to learn.

00:05:38.512 --> 00:05:40.930
Right, I was a hearing specialist.

00:05:40.930 --> 00:05:42.035
I went to aesthetic school.

00:05:42.035 --> 00:05:43.079
I went to massage school.

00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:44.451
I was, I taught I'm out of school now.

00:05:44.451 --> 00:05:44.528
Yeah, like I.

00:05:44.528 --> 00:05:44.829
I just, I want to aesthetic school.

00:05:44.829 --> 00:05:45.119
I went to massage school.

00:05:45.119 --> 00:05:45.995
I was, I taught I'm out of school now.

00:05:45.995 --> 00:05:47.115
Yeah, like I.

00:05:47.115 --> 00:05:49.317
I just, I want to learn, sure, no, I get that.

00:05:50.016 --> 00:05:51.701
It's funny every time I think of I've.

00:05:51.701 --> 00:05:53.709
I've never had an issue being on a boat.

00:05:53.709 --> 00:05:58.423
I never get like motion sickness or I'm really jealous of that it's funny, though.

00:05:58.423 --> 00:06:11.834
Every time I think about being on a boat, I always go back to our trip to Hawaii, and we went on this boat and went whale watching oh cool, so we got to see humpback whales.

00:06:12.156 --> 00:06:12.358
Nice.

00:06:13.180 --> 00:06:22.404
But I remember, because I was 17 at the time and I had long hair, like really long hair, and I didn't tie it up.

00:06:22.404 --> 00:06:26.230
Oops, yeah, I needed to brush the fuck out of that.

00:06:26.230 --> 00:06:29.326
Yuck, so because of the wind, yeah, yeah.

00:06:29.326 --> 00:06:34.845
So every time I think about being on a boat, that's the first thought that comes to mind about my life being on a boat.

00:06:35.326 --> 00:06:37.952
Nathan and I went to Mackinac Island for um.

00:06:37.952 --> 00:06:39.622
It was more.

00:06:39.622 --> 00:06:43.069
It was our honeymoon, but it was like five years later after we married.

00:06:43.069 --> 00:06:54.029
That's all right yeah, um, but we went to mackinac island, which is um a little island um in michigan yep in the, in the great lakes, yeah, um, and we had.

00:06:54.029 --> 00:06:59.305
We get there by boat and on our way back my hair was down and oh yeah, same thing.

00:06:59.375 --> 00:07:07.326
It was so natted ratted it's the worst, yeah, but uh, obviously, well, I can't even grow hair in every spot anymore.

00:07:07.326 --> 00:07:10.365
So I don't have that issue anymore.

00:07:10.365 --> 00:07:15.947
Maybe when my beard gets longer again like it was before, but uh, no, it's just so.

00:07:15.947 --> 00:07:20.586
If you could pick another um timeframe, not world war two.

00:07:20.586 --> 00:07:24.254
Is there anything else that kind of draws you towards it or anything?

00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:27.983
I would probably say the Civil War.

00:07:27.983 --> 00:07:45.630
Sure, I find that really fascinating, yep, and I'm just kind of starting to get into the American Revolution, but it's not as interesting to me as the Civil War.

00:07:45.630 --> 00:07:46.430
Okay, sure.

00:07:46.872 --> 00:07:47.031
Yeah.

00:07:52.184 --> 00:07:54.495
What kind of piques your interest of the Civil War?

00:07:54.495 --> 00:08:06.444
Again, it's kind of like a small group of people trying to control a large group of people, the southerners, or you know who, the, the confederates yeah you know, trying to control the slaves.

00:08:06.444 --> 00:08:19.838
It's just, it's so bizarre, it's such bizarre behavior, yeah, that we let happen yeah, well, a lot of people don't know better, unfortunately yeah, and it just escalates and grows from that.

00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:22.983
But no, I get what you're saying, though.

00:08:22.983 --> 00:08:23.665
It's just wild.

00:08:23.704 --> 00:08:26.728
It's almost a little bit of like psychology, to go along with it.

00:08:26.728 --> 00:08:27.730
Oh for sure, yeah.

00:08:31.595 --> 00:08:34.419
Which is definitely above my pay grade, especially when my pay is zero.

00:08:34.419 --> 00:08:49.938
But yeah, there's definitely a psychological aspect of it, because in order to manipulate people into believing in your cause, there's got to be something there and you just you say it enough they're gonna believe it, kind of thing, whatever the fuck it is.

00:08:49.938 --> 00:08:57.501
But yeah, it's just wild that so many people can buy into that and be like, yes, let's do that.

00:08:57.501 --> 00:09:03.514
Yeah, just like again the whole Nazi thing and whatever, but yeah.

00:09:04.115 --> 00:09:09.668
What made you want to learn more about history in general?

00:09:10.296 --> 00:09:12.224
I have always enjoyed history.

00:09:12.224 --> 00:09:14.062
Again, I wasn't very good at school.

00:09:14.062 --> 00:09:21.100
I just I hated school because my ADD just was all over the place and I wasn't one of those medicated kids.

00:09:21.100 --> 00:09:23.712
Because, well, I hated school because my ADD just was all over the place and I wasn't one of those medicated kids.

00:09:23.712 --> 00:09:28.586
Because, well, it's not like my parents were like my son can't have ADD.

00:09:30.078 --> 00:09:30.902
It just wasn't a thing.

00:09:30.902 --> 00:09:33.523
It wasn't a diagnosed thing.

00:09:33.543 --> 00:09:35.881
No, exactly, and I was never tested for it or whatever.

00:09:35.881 --> 00:09:52.304
So I mean, I've always, even like in in school, when I was told I didn't know how to read obviously I was in third grade but years later it affected me but I would read what I wanted to read, even though I had a hard time doing it.

00:09:52.304 --> 00:09:59.702
I always loved reading about greek mythology, love that, um, and just like medieval times.

00:09:59.702 --> 00:10:03.929
You know, that's like one of my, if not my, favorite time frame of history.

00:10:03.929 --> 00:10:17.802
It just fascinates me that you know there's these giant castles, people in fucking suits of armor swinging a sword around and shit, and how they're portrayed and whatever, and like Arthurian legends and all that shit.

00:10:17.802 --> 00:10:18.905
I love that.

00:10:18.985 --> 00:10:19.466
But I don't know.

00:10:19.466 --> 00:10:24.465
I just I really I've always enjoyed history, history, and I don't know a lot of it.

00:10:24.465 --> 00:10:26.368
There's so much of it out there.

00:10:26.368 --> 00:10:29.100
I mean literally yesterday's history.

00:10:29.100 --> 00:10:35.701
So I remember that a lot more than I remember a thousand years ago because, well, I wasn't here, even though you tell me I'm old.

00:10:35.701 --> 00:10:43.860
But, um, I just I don't want to learn more, I want to be more diverse, and what I know about history, and am I going to retain all of it?

00:10:43.899 --> 00:10:54.260
of course not right but I'd like to think I'll retain some of it right and the beauty of recording it is I can always listen back yeah, yeah so yeah, so that's kind of nice.

00:10:54.260 --> 00:10:59.177
I just wanted to learn more about it because you always are taught the staples.

00:10:59.177 --> 00:11:04.845
World war ii and I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but just like you get your basics, this happened.

00:11:04.845 --> 00:11:07.474
The civil war, yeah yeah and then so it's.

00:11:07.494 --> 00:11:32.761
I don't want to say that like to take away from what you just said about what you like, but it's just like I want to learn other things in addition to that well, and then with the progression of the internet and documentation and all of that um, the older history kind of gets left behind essentially exactly, and I don't, I don't think it should well no, I want it to still be there and yeah

00:11:32.902 --> 00:11:37.698
relevant and whatever, and like learning about random people like phyllis.

00:11:37.698 --> 00:11:38.881
Oh, what was her last name?

00:11:38.881 --> 00:11:39.803
Wheatley wheatley.

00:11:39.803 --> 00:11:45.321
Um, I would have never known about her if we didn't do this podcast right.

00:11:45.321 --> 00:11:50.857
I would have never, ever heard of her before that, and so that to me is kind of cool.

00:11:50.857 --> 00:12:01.407
Yeah, because I mean I had no idea, or um, or even like our first technical episode, the sullivan brothers, I knew about them because of a song.

00:12:01.407 --> 00:12:04.261
I wouldn't have never known them if I didn't know that song.

00:12:04.261 --> 00:12:07.780
Yeah, probably Just random stuff like that.

00:12:07.780 --> 00:12:17.849
So I think it's cool to learn stuff in random ways, but also I like what you bring to the table in terms of teaching our stories, if you will.

00:12:17.849 --> 00:12:21.404
And yeah, I just like learning random shit.

00:12:21.404 --> 00:12:24.565
I know a lot of random shit, especially about movies.

00:12:25.195 --> 00:12:26.519
And now you're going to learn more.

00:12:27.162 --> 00:12:27.563
I hope so.

00:12:27.563 --> 00:12:29.061
I mean that's the goal, at least, right.

00:12:29.081 --> 00:12:29.181
Yeah.

00:12:29.355 --> 00:12:36.565
Because, again, we have fun doing this, but we have fun learning about random stuff.

00:12:38.697 --> 00:12:40.501
So what about medieval times?

00:12:40.501 --> 00:12:42.287
Are you like, most interested in?

00:12:43.557 --> 00:13:17.886
I think, especially when I was younger, the whole they made it seem so like majestic, being like a knight you know, knight in shining armor or whatever crap, and actually recently listening to a medieval, a history of the medieval times book, basically audiobook, um, saying that knights were, they grew to huge popularity and were a big important factor, like within wars and stuff, and they could make a lot of money doing what they did because they were good at it, basically, and then it just stopped.

00:13:17.886 --> 00:13:24.285
It's like yeah, we don't really need you because there's other advancements in warfare, basically right, but it still be.

00:13:24.285 --> 00:13:30.285
It still like grew to be a thing of um, you know chivalry thank you.

00:13:30.547 --> 00:13:34.980
I always have a hard time saying that word for some reason, but that grew from being a knight and everything.

00:13:34.980 --> 00:13:37.687
That's where that all started and whatnot.

00:13:37.687 --> 00:13:45.642
And, um, you know I like king arthur and you know knights of the round table, all that stuff that's just folk folklore, right?

00:13:45.662 --> 00:13:53.804
well, yeah it's not actual history, but you know, it's still historic in the fact that people believed in it, which is kind of funny.

00:13:53.804 --> 00:14:04.524
But, um, I mean, they literally thought that they found their grave and stuff, like King Arthur and Guinevere's grave, really, and bones and stuff.

00:14:04.524 --> 00:14:12.412
It's like no, that's just probably some random person that was buried there, man, but you do, you Anyways, but I don't know, I just I like it.

00:14:17.495 --> 00:14:20.089
I like the thoughts of well, let's go live in a big-ass castle with some fireplaces.

00:14:20.692 --> 00:14:21.154
That's so weird, I know.

00:14:21.154 --> 00:14:23.258
Live in a big-ass castle with some fireplaces.

00:14:23.258 --> 00:14:23.940
That's so weird, I know.

00:14:23.960 --> 00:14:32.558
And you got all these some castles with hidden tunnels to other rooms and underneath, and here we have a tapestry that covers the entire gigantic wall of stone?

00:14:32.578 --> 00:14:33.299
yeah, I don't know.

00:14:33.299 --> 00:14:42.831
I just I like, I like I don't know, I just I like, I like I don't know the older stuff like that.

00:14:42.831 --> 00:14:57.442
I guess it just fascinates me because I've always had a thing with, when it comes to stuff like that, history, that it's weird to think about sometimes, for me at least, that we're in the year 2024.

00:14:57.442 --> 00:14:58.543
We're in the year 2024.

00:14:58.543 --> 00:15:08.052
There was people walking around a thousand years ago doing stuff completely fucking different than what we do, you know, with obviously all of our advancements and everything.

00:15:08.052 --> 00:15:12.322
But they were just living, just like we are, just in a different way.

00:15:12.403 --> 00:15:14.047
There's shits in the street and everything.

00:15:14.287 --> 00:15:16.763
Yeah, I mean they probably literally shit in the street.

00:15:16.763 --> 00:15:23.077
But yeah, it's just, it's weird to like think that, well, they were there.

00:15:23.077 --> 00:15:30.466
Now we're here, there's gonna be people after us, you know, like my kids or you know, and they're hopefully their kids, kids and whatever.

00:15:31.008 --> 00:15:35.197
So it's just you as a grandfather why do you say it like that?

00:15:35.258 --> 00:15:38.942
weird why do you say it like that?

00:15:39.043 --> 00:15:41.285
because that means you'll be even older.

00:15:41.285 --> 00:15:44.711
Well, yeah, it's so weird.

00:15:44.711 --> 00:15:48.423
Time is weird, though time is so weird.

00:15:48.482 --> 00:15:55.927
Time is a weird thing and that again I think that goes with history quite a bit too is it's never ending, it's never stopping.

00:15:55.927 --> 00:16:07.793
You know, we've we were talking about that earlier how, when you're younger, basically do you remember summer vacation when you're younger, like just the feel of it.

00:16:07.812 --> 00:16:13.402
Yeah, the movie with, uh, christy alley, kirsty alley, my bad, she's dead.

00:16:13.402 --> 00:16:26.639
No, fact check me my phone's over there I'll fact check me kirsty alley is not dead you don't think so I will be heartbroken.

00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:29.725
I don't follow her career, but she's fabulous.

00:16:29.826 --> 00:16:33.538
Clearly she's fabulous uh, no, I am to be.

00:16:33.557 --> 00:16:42.296
I don't want to, and she was in a movie called um summer school, with you said summer vacation.

00:16:42.296 --> 00:16:45.503
My bad, but she was in a movie called summer school.

00:16:45.503 --> 00:16:51.778
Is that what it was with mark hammond from ncis?

00:16:52.980 --> 00:16:55.283
that's how is that right maybe?

00:16:55.283 --> 00:17:03.700
Did, she die two years ago yesterday really yes, december 5th two, two years ago.

00:17:03.700 --> 00:17:08.761
Told you how did she die.

00:17:08.761 --> 00:17:12.517
I don't know if it tells me here.

00:17:12.517 --> 00:17:16.330
It doesn't say in this little mini biography Wow.

00:17:16.550 --> 00:17:18.013
I don't remember her passing.

00:17:18.013 --> 00:17:21.098
Yeah, that's sad she was fabulous.

00:17:21.640 --> 00:17:22.982
Let's see Celebrate the life.

00:17:22.982 --> 00:17:31.576
Nope, I'm not going gonna go into detail or not detail, but depth on this wait.

00:17:31.576 --> 00:17:32.897
Colon cancer, there we go.

00:17:32.897 --> 00:17:38.137
Found it did not know she was suffering from the, the dreaded colon cancer.

00:17:38.137 --> 00:17:40.928
But yeah, told you, bummer, she passed away anyway.

00:17:40.948 --> 00:17:42.296
So what about summer vacation?

00:17:42.818 --> 00:17:58.891
remember how, when you're so, speaking of time, remember how when you're younger, especially in your, you know, elementary, probably once you start getting to high school, not as much, but summer vacation felt like it was like a year fucking long.

00:17:58.891 --> 00:18:07.233
You're done with school and like, at least when I went to school very like early-ish June and then you don't go back to.

00:18:07.233 --> 00:18:09.340
We went back to school like the end of August.

00:18:09.340 --> 00:18:11.778
You think about it, that's not even three months.

00:18:12.030 --> 00:18:13.036
And it felt like a year.

00:18:14.130 --> 00:18:23.611
Whereas the older you get, the shorter it feels the shorter it feels when all of a sudden, it's like school ended, fuck.

00:18:23.631 --> 00:18:26.579
I got to go back to school in a month or so.

00:18:26.579 --> 00:18:28.576
It's like good Lord.

00:18:28.576 --> 00:18:34.301
But now time, the older you get, the faster it goes, or so it seems.

00:18:34.301 --> 00:18:37.219
But the funny thing is it's exactly the same speed.

00:18:37.219 --> 00:18:48.000
It's just you got more going on, you got life, you got to pay your bills, you got to go to work, you got to do this, raise the kids, so on, whatever it might be, and uh, it's just, it's wild.

00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:49.483
Time is just crazy.

00:18:49.724 --> 00:18:55.478
So and I'm the type of person that I am working to live, not living to work.

00:18:55.478 --> 00:19:05.019
Yes, like I, I work monday through thursday, sometimes doubles depending on the day and what you got'm at.

00:19:05.019 --> 00:19:09.913
But my Friday, my Saturday, my Sunday, that is when I live.

00:19:09.913 --> 00:19:11.376
Yeah, correct, I agree.

00:19:11.376 --> 00:19:14.502
And people at work?

00:19:14.502 --> 00:19:15.304
Do you work weekends?

00:19:15.304 --> 00:19:16.291
No, that's my time.

00:19:16.573 --> 00:19:17.114
Yeah, no.

00:19:17.355 --> 00:19:18.356
I put in my dues.

00:19:18.698 --> 00:19:26.221
Yeah, we all I mean a lot of people have, and there's some people that are great and thrive at working on the weekends.

00:19:26.522 --> 00:19:26.962
For sure.

00:19:27.109 --> 00:19:29.762
They have their time, though still during the week whatever it might be.

00:19:29.782 --> 00:19:33.597
Yes, it's just a different set of days, correct, and that's fine, but no, I agree.

00:19:35.631 --> 00:19:36.695
When would we be able to do this?

00:19:36.695 --> 00:19:41.974
Like I've got to work tonight, all right, well, I guess we'll record next week, whatever it might be.

00:19:41.974 --> 00:19:46.932
But yeah, record next week.

00:19:46.932 --> 00:19:48.659
You know, whatever it might be, but yeah, same, I put in my dues.

00:19:48.679 --> 00:19:49.481
I uh, especially with the kids.

00:19:49.481 --> 00:19:50.384
Now I don't want to work weekends.

00:19:50.384 --> 00:19:51.429
No, you shouldn't with young kids?

00:19:51.449 --> 00:19:53.053
no, especially because they are very young.

00:19:53.053 --> 00:19:54.958
So I don't want to do that.

00:19:54.958 --> 00:19:59.335
I want to spend time with them and and do the things I want to do as well.

00:19:59.335 --> 00:20:08.640
Not just you know that, but just everything that involves being an adult and enjoying your life, not just worrying about work all the time.

00:20:09.101 --> 00:20:09.260
Yeah.

00:20:11.794 --> 00:20:14.077
But I work hard and then I enjoy life.

00:20:14.097 --> 00:20:14.558
We play hard.

00:20:14.558 --> 00:20:15.861
Yeah, yeah, try to.

00:20:16.602 --> 00:20:17.784
Absolutely, but yeah.

00:20:18.309 --> 00:20:18.451
Now.

00:20:18.451 --> 00:20:20.958
If only the finances would help.

00:20:23.030 --> 00:20:25.799
Well, if everything wouldn't keep getting more expensive.

00:20:26.250 --> 00:20:27.414
That is so depressing.

00:20:27.434 --> 00:20:32.980
I know it's just going to buy some fucking eggs Bacon.

00:20:32.980 --> 00:20:36.538
How did bacon get so damn expensive?

00:20:36.979 --> 00:20:37.220
Yeah.

00:20:37.770 --> 00:20:38.795
I love bacon too.

00:20:38.795 --> 00:20:41.636
It's so delicious I kind of want to have some bacon now.

00:20:41.636 --> 00:20:43.135
Is it too late to go get bacon?

00:20:43.291 --> 00:20:44.410
I'm not making you bacon.

00:20:44.770 --> 00:20:46.734
I didn't say you to make me, but there's.

00:20:46.734 --> 00:20:50.364
Is there a denny's around something?

00:20:50.364 --> 00:20:53.692
But uh, I don't even know if there is.

00:20:53.692 --> 00:20:54.414
I don't think there is.

00:20:54.414 --> 00:20:56.785
But uh, no, it's just.

00:20:56.785 --> 00:20:57.145
Yeah, it's.

00:20:57.145 --> 00:21:00.012
It is depressing because of how just expensive everything is.

00:21:00.012 --> 00:21:03.237
So, yeah, but either way is there?

00:21:03.817 --> 00:21:10.550
is there any time frame event person that you want to know more about?

00:21:12.575 --> 00:21:13.576
that's a great question.

00:21:13.576 --> 00:21:30.692
If I I feel like I know a lot more about like the 1700s, I guess we'll just say the 18th century more than I do the 19th century, except for very late 1800s.

00:21:30.692 --> 00:21:39.614
I wouldn't mind knowing more about time frame wise, maybe early 1800s, um, I'm sure there's things I know.

00:21:39.614 --> 00:21:46.683
I like napoleon and all that stuff and whatever I don't want to know about the known shit.

00:21:46.865 --> 00:21:50.557
I guess we'll say yeah, you want more unknown, obscure.

00:21:50.597 --> 00:21:51.601
Yeah, exactly.

00:21:51.601 --> 00:21:57.902
So I guess if I had to pick a time frame, I'd pick that off the top of my head.

00:21:57.902 --> 00:22:03.682
I can't really think of a specific person that I'd want to be like.

00:22:03.682 --> 00:22:06.499
Yeah, let's learn about that person off the top of my head, I guess.

00:22:06.499 --> 00:22:12.040
But 1800, so from like 1800 to 1860 timeframe.

00:22:12.040 --> 00:22:16.429
There's probably something cool in there that I don't know about that I'd like to, kind of thing.

00:22:16.489 --> 00:22:16.589
Yeah.

00:22:17.349 --> 00:22:32.843
Um, I do know, like you had brought up, I do know I don't want to say a lot cause I don't think I'm that smart, but the the, you know, king Henry the eighth, um, I know a decent amount.

00:22:32.843 --> 00:22:35.576
I guess we'll say I like that timeframe too.

00:22:35.576 --> 00:22:42.991
But um, yeah, I say 1800s would be kind of, kind of cool Early to mid.

00:22:42.991 --> 00:22:44.493
Yeah, what about you?

00:22:46.836 --> 00:22:49.858
I would like to know more about the Cold War.

00:22:49.858 --> 00:22:54.383
Okay, and like the missile crisis and that kind of stuff.

00:22:54.383 --> 00:22:57.886
I know very, very, very little yeah same, yeah.

00:23:08.170 --> 00:23:13.880
All I know is that, well, we got very close to nuclear war, basically, yeah, than that with kuba, kuba, yeah, jeresy x-men first class yes that's a good movie.

00:23:13.880 --> 00:23:15.682
They, they talked.

00:23:15.682 --> 00:23:26.444
That's a whole part of it oh, I don't recall, but I can tell by the, by the blank stare I got when I Blank stare Like why are you talking about X-Men Seriously?

00:23:26.890 --> 00:23:29.799
It's like I understand the context.

00:23:31.790 --> 00:23:33.410
But yeah, no, that's yeah.

00:23:33.410 --> 00:23:34.836
I never even would have thought of that.

00:23:34.836 --> 00:23:38.400
I don't know barely anything about the Cold War.

00:23:38.400 --> 00:23:45.134
Basically I do remember Judi Dench and Bond saying, damn, I missed the Cold War.

00:23:45.134 --> 00:23:48.798
But you know, beyond that I don't really know a whole lot.

00:23:49.220 --> 00:23:49.882
No, I don't.

00:23:49.882 --> 00:23:53.934
I don't know a whole lot, so that would be interesting to learn Interesting.

00:23:53.954 --> 00:23:57.583
Yeah, I don't know.

00:23:57.583 --> 00:24:08.478
I just feel like obviously, the further you go back, there's obviously written history, because I mean there's shit that people talk about, bc, blah, blah, blah, whatever it is.

00:24:08.478 --> 00:24:14.982
I feel like also somewhere in the 600s to 800s would be interesting.

00:24:14.982 --> 00:24:19.876
What happened here, seriously, just literally what happened?

00:24:19.876 --> 00:24:20.479
What happened?

00:24:20.479 --> 00:24:22.915
I mean, did anything happen?

00:24:22.915 --> 00:24:26.751
Obviously something happened, but it would be interesting.

00:24:26.751 --> 00:24:32.673
It's like anything of note, something I would like to learn I have no idea because I don't know shit about that time either.

00:24:33.015 --> 00:24:43.740
I'm not saying I know other times that well, but just picking a random kind of number it'd be kind of interesting just to what shaped this time frame, kind of thing.

00:24:43.740 --> 00:24:55.354
But that's what we're trying to do is find these random stories just to learn and hopefully teach somebody something.

00:24:55.354 --> 00:24:56.852
And again we're buffoons.

00:24:56.852 --> 00:25:00.156
What we do is what we find.

00:25:00.156 --> 00:25:03.355
We're not saying we're accurate by 100%.

00:25:03.390 --> 00:25:05.192
We're going off of what we research and or not saying we're accurate by a hundred percent.

00:25:05.106 --> 00:25:08.859
Yeah, we just we're going off of what we research and or look up and so on.

00:25:08.859 --> 00:25:13.244
So again, we always encourage interaction.

00:25:13.244 --> 00:25:17.557
We'd like some interaction to say hey, do this, you got this wrong.

00:25:17.557 --> 00:25:18.980
That was cool.

00:25:18.980 --> 00:25:30.578
Whatever it might be, I don't care, but either way and now we've got our new companion piece yes, where we're um, and that's coming out every other week, correct?

00:25:30.598 --> 00:25:34.751
that's an every other week one yeah um, which we're just trying.

00:25:34.751 --> 00:25:42.795
Like we said, we're on a quest to find the origin of weird yeah just find random weird stories that it's like what the fuck?

00:25:42.795 --> 00:25:43.836
Kind of of right.

00:25:43.836 --> 00:25:45.077
Kind of mentality.

00:25:45.077 --> 00:25:49.005
But like I, I rather enjoyed operation mincemeat.

00:25:49.005 --> 00:25:53.653
That was pretty great Um and um.

00:25:54.294 --> 00:25:59.433
Rosemary Kennedy and her lobotomy just came out, so listen to that.

00:25:59.795 --> 00:26:01.159
Yeah, which that was I mean.

00:26:01.159 --> 00:26:02.573
Again, I knew, I knew about her.

00:26:02.573 --> 00:26:03.798
I knew she lived in Wisconsin.

00:26:03.798 --> 00:26:10.903
I knew a little bit about the lobotomy, but learning the rest and how many fucking people had to go through that procedure is just wild yeah.

00:26:11.570 --> 00:26:12.997
So that's weird, of course.

00:26:12.997 --> 00:26:21.345
But yeah, I like the origin of weird and I've been having fun doing that with you as well, because it's quite different.

00:26:21.345 --> 00:26:27.056
It's definitely different from what we're doing, but it's in the same realm, if you will.

00:26:27.056 --> 00:26:31.353
So we're just trying to find the oddities of history, basically.

00:26:31.513 --> 00:26:31.713
Yeah.

00:26:32.175 --> 00:26:38.759
And put them up not put them up against, but put them with our main stories and everything.

00:26:38.759 --> 00:26:40.037
So that's been a lot of fun as well.

00:26:40.037 --> 00:26:45.948
So we'll keep doing those, like you said every other week and I don't know.

00:26:46.028 --> 00:26:52.550
have some fun with it, yeah, so so this was our first time with like just a conversation with kate and bradley.

00:26:52.590 --> 00:27:01.356
If you'd like to, let us know we just kind of thought we'd like it's more kind of a a look into kate and bradley, yeah kind of thing.

00:27:01.356 --> 00:27:05.884
You get to know us a little bit, or as we ask each other questions and stuff.

00:27:05.884 --> 00:27:17.703
Um, we would really enjoy some people reaching out and asking us some questions and we will definitely, uh uh, give you a shout out on a podcast, answer your questions on a podcast, email you back personally.

00:27:17.703 --> 00:27:19.165
All that stuff, whatever it might be.

00:27:19.165 --> 00:27:26.183
Uh, just because we want to, we'd like to start interacting with some people a little bit more than we have.

00:27:26.183 --> 00:27:27.896
We have a bit, which is great.

00:27:27.896 --> 00:27:33.407
Uh, we just we want, we want to hear from everybody that we can cause it's, it's been fun.

00:27:33.970 --> 00:27:38.240
Yeah, so you can email us at history buffoons podcast at gmailcom.

00:27:38.561 --> 00:27:40.296
Yep, or you go to our website too.

00:27:40.296 --> 00:27:46.738
You can send us a message through that, yep, or you can even send us a text through our episodes, all that stuff and so on.

00:27:46.738 --> 00:27:52.105
So but yeah, so yeah, um, we'll maybe do this once in a while.

00:27:52.105 --> 00:27:57.386
Yeah, just uh kind of state of the buffoons address.

00:27:57.587 --> 00:28:01.298
Bradley, I have a question Are you still enjoying this?

00:28:04.510 --> 00:28:13.981
I am now that you use that voice to ask me that, oh god, I'm so glad cheerio so maybe in another quarter in a fortnight.

00:28:14.061 --> 00:28:19.076
No, that's only two weeks we will come back and I will ask that question.

00:28:19.238 --> 00:28:22.663
Yes, again I uh, yes, I am enjoying it, are you?

00:28:22.663 --> 00:28:42.567
I am okay sometimes the leg book reports get a little overwhelming well, yeah, and that's totally understandable because, especially if you like find a story where it's like well shit, this isn't kind of what I was hoping to be, this isn't exciting me like I was hoping yeah, whatever it might be yeah, that that.

00:28:42.567 --> 00:28:49.083
That makes it difficult because, like you put the work in, it's like we're not gonna even fucking use this yeah, I've, I've, I'm not gonna lie.

00:28:49.103 --> 00:28:58.795
There's at least three stories that I have started that I'm like, nope, not not to talk, not the time do you think those would ever find the light of day for our episodes or?

00:28:58.795 --> 00:29:01.939
Yes, okay, I just have to be interested in it.

00:29:03.160 --> 00:29:04.923
What do you think would change that?

00:29:07.164 --> 00:29:07.605
I don't know.

00:29:07.605 --> 00:29:15.124
So there's one that I go back to pretty much every time I'm looking for a topic.

00:29:15.124 --> 00:29:21.622
I go back to this every time and I try to find more and more information, and I really can't, really.

00:29:21.622 --> 00:29:24.699
Yeah, there's not a ton of information, but it's interesting.

00:29:25.352 --> 00:29:27.527
But you just can't find the information.

00:29:27.749 --> 00:29:34.323
Yeah, so it might have to be something that I have to combine with another type of event, that's fine.

00:29:34.323 --> 00:29:47.127
Situation and I just I have tried so many times Probably the last seven or eight episodes I have gone back before finding something different.

00:29:47.127 --> 00:29:49.015
Gotcha, yeah, it's been a long time.

00:29:49.349 --> 00:29:50.355
How about for the next one?

00:29:50.355 --> 00:29:51.865
Don't go back to that one, okay.

00:29:52.449 --> 00:29:54.096
Actually did I go back to the?

00:29:54.096 --> 00:29:58.402
I didn't go back this last time, really Before Phyllis Wheatley, I did not go back.

00:29:58.710 --> 00:30:00.095
That's actually surprising.

00:30:00.696 --> 00:30:01.378
You know what happened.

00:30:01.599 --> 00:30:07.472
What I erased that document and wrote phyllis wheatley's.

00:30:07.492 --> 00:30:10.619
Oh really, I didn't even start a new document, I just erased that other one.

00:30:11.101 --> 00:30:12.570
So now you can't go back to it, right?

00:30:12.971 --> 00:30:13.452
no, I have.

00:30:13.553 --> 00:30:19.511
I would have to start over oh well, I mean maybe yeah maybe a start over might be just what you needed, kind of thing.

00:30:19.511 --> 00:30:20.032
You never know.

00:30:20.032 --> 00:30:21.575
Yeah, though too.

00:30:21.575 --> 00:30:23.278
That's kind of funny.

00:30:23.637 --> 00:30:31.676
Yes, and we are getting requests for topics, so we have like a running list.

00:30:32.579 --> 00:30:32.779
Yeah.

00:30:33.431 --> 00:30:37.161
And unfortunately, it is based on whether or not I'm interested in it.

00:30:37.561 --> 00:30:37.682
No.

00:30:38.089 --> 00:30:43.678
Just because so much time has to go into gathering the sources and reading, and I try to like also find books on the subject.

00:30:43.678 --> 00:30:49.618
Right, try to like also find books on the subject and I try to find documentaries on the subject movies or whatever it might be.

00:30:49.618 --> 00:30:58.842
Yeah and so there's a lot of time that goes into it on my end, so I have to be interested in it well, no, and the point of doing this is we're not going to do everything in history.

00:30:58.923 --> 00:31:04.159
We're going to do everything in history that we want to learn or enjoy or find interesting, whatever.

00:31:04.159 --> 00:31:09.498
So we hope anyone who listens to this also finds it interesting.

00:31:09.498 --> 00:31:13.535
Yeah, because the reason why we're putting this out is we found it interesting.

00:31:13.535 --> 00:31:18.132
Yeah, um, is there going to be ones that are more interesting than others?

00:31:18.132 --> 00:31:20.396
Of course, I mean, that's just how things work.

00:31:20.396 --> 00:31:23.192
Yeah, but no, we, we want to be interested in it.

00:31:23.192 --> 00:31:29.954
We're not just going to be like, well, I mean, we should probably do the civil war again, just like the basic shit.

00:31:29.954 --> 00:31:37.738
No, we want to focus on, like general blah, blah, blah, whatever it might be, cause we found whatever he did Interesting kind of thing.

00:31:38.259 --> 00:31:46.272
So yeah, no it's that's understandable.

00:31:46.313 --> 00:31:50.063
Understandable, yeah, so I've actually got quite a bit of um recommendations um over the last week alone actually.

00:31:50.063 --> 00:31:51.005
Yeah, you had said that.

00:31:51.005 --> 00:31:57.003
Yeah, so I'm excited to look into some of those for both history buffoons and um the origin of weird.

00:31:57.787 --> 00:32:04.402
Well, yeah, it's funny because I sent you one and you had got one from your friend two days earlier.

00:32:07.309 --> 00:32:11.695
Tara, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you both recommended the same exact topic within two days of each other.

00:32:12.010 --> 00:32:14.078
I know, so that means something.

00:32:14.289 --> 00:32:15.275
Let's look into that one.

00:32:16.753 --> 00:32:17.636
So that was kind of funny.

00:32:17.758 --> 00:32:17.938
Yeah.

00:32:20.194 --> 00:32:43.961
But no, I'm glad that we've been getting some recommendations, and that always helps, you know, because we want to do what people also like as well, if you find it interesting, of course, which I understand so yeah yeah, for sure so well, this is cool yeah, a nice conversation um my beer is over, so I've your beer is over, yeah, so I feel like this should be.

00:32:43.980 --> 00:32:44.301
It's gone.

00:32:45.930 --> 00:32:47.796
So I can get another beer.

00:32:47.796 --> 00:32:58.230
Yeah, the credits have rolled on my beer and so I need to go get the sequel.

00:32:58.230 --> 00:33:02.292
Well, I suppose All right, buffoons, that's it for today's episode.
