Oh, thank God. I'd get on a boat if it's a cruise fun boat. There's a pool and water sloth. Actually, I wouldn't, because I don't think this stuff gets treated very well, and I'd feel bad. But also, I'd be like, make me another cocktail, Rodrigo! I think it's just you not treating this stuff well. Ah, yes, yes, yes. And I do that on land too.

You pull every barkeep, Rodrigo. Imagine you turning off my microphone. I am on fire. I'm ready. The strangest thing is your microphone is off. Yeah, I'm that loud. There's lots of, I'm squishing up my face on Matt, so I'm using his microphone. He's like he's doing like a, you know?

You know that thing? Anyway, blocktober, what are we calling it? I mean, you've got a register that trademark. Yeah.

Blocktober. Blocktober Yeah. Blocktober. Blocktoberfest. Blocktoberfest. Blocktoberbuster. Right. Yeah, that's right. Blocktoberbuster. So it's next month, which is coming up real body soon now, is going to be all bangers,

no fangers. Anyway, it doesn't matter. They're all going to be some of the biggest topics and they've been decided by a listenership, which is you probably, unless you're a first-time listener, and then if that is the case, well, don't forget this far in. And we'll give you a good start. If you're a good start. And that's so that it'll be coming up next week.

It's nothing you have to do now except sit back and bloody enjoy, but we can't wait to get them to you. And then in a whole month, there's going to culminate in the biggest and most requested topic of all time. It's going to be a mega episode. Merkle, merkle, merkle, merkle, merkle. Dave, have a go at saying something interesting. I was so low. Darth Vader's last breath. Wow. Darth Vader's last fart. And he's gone.

The people often ask, how do you describe the show? And we try every week. And a while ago I asked our patrons to have a go at describe the show in one sentence or two. And this is the one that got the most likes from other patrons. show in one sentence or two. And this is the one that got the most likes from other patrons. Is this one sentence or two? Two. That's from Tom Novakovik. And he says Novakovik. Novakovik. He says the show is three comedians take, he says three comedians. I'm going to read it as written. Okay. This is on those most likes. Yep.

Three comedians take in turn to report on a topic suggested by a listener. One has a great beard. One has a great laugh. And one is Dave. Okay, let's see if we can figure out who's who there. So, I think the one with a great laugh is Dave. Yeah, I'm assuming Dave is me. Yeah. Cool. And I've got the beard. a great laugh is Dave. Yeah, I'm assuming Dave is me. Yeah.

And I've got the beard. Yeah. Thanks, Tom, you really? You got it. Some does that well. Yeah. Some does up the butt well. Yeah.

Oh, real good. Jess is nodding profusely. But you nod profusely? Well, Jess just did. This week it's time for the beard to report. So Jess? Yes. It is my turn.

And the way we get onto topic is with a question. And I wrote the question. This is where it gets time for the beat to report, so Jess. Yes, it is my turn. And the way we get onto topic is with a question. And I wrote the question. Like, like not right at the last second, before we started, I had like written maybe a paragraph and I thought, oh, that's a question I can eat. And then I went back and I wrote it and then I put him bold.

Are you proud of what? Very, very proud. Thank you. I deserve your pride. Thank you. Of Lions. Give them to me. There you go. Okay, they're all yours.

So my question is, what two unlikely professions had a riot in Toronto in 1855? In 1855 to unlikely. So probably not wrestlers. How about astronauts? Okay, and in 1855 and IT people because it's so unlikely because they didn't exist. Yeah, we got what you were going with it. I was just buying you jokes there. I'm not likely. Well, I said joke. I thought he was just having a very good guess. It's also inaccurate. It's not the answer. I'm going to say horses and carts because they

work so well together. True, but sometimes like being too close to something, like you and I, sometimes we clash. Yeah, we do. Ooh, fireworks. No way, fireworks are great. Are we anyway of getting, yeah, we're in a chance again.

Is there a way to get in this? No, I don't think so, because I hadn't heard of it and it has only been suggested by one person. And the two unlikely professions are firefighters and clowns. That is unlikely. No, I would have said that is one of the most likely. Why is that? Walk me through your logic there.

Okay. Okay. Have you never seen a clown firefighter mocking the noble profession of firefighting? Wow, with the rules. It was only a matter of time before they got their cumuppance. And that matter of time was 150 years ago. Wow. Or less, whatever the year was. 8,000, 55, Dave to the math.

I have disgraced myself last week and I... I'll let you... Stop drawing maths from now on. Are you shook and I'm shooked? You've got a shook. I'm also bad at English. 163. I think.

Anyway. So it was a summer of 1855. Toronto was growing very, very quickly. 40,000 people lived in the city now. A new immigrants were flooding into the area all the time. We had the very first railway setting up. Population was set to double over the next two decades. So it's boomin'.

It's growing. It's flourishing. It's heat, it's hot, it's happening. Exactly. It's hot, bad happening. It's hot, bad happening. All the ones. But in a lot of ways, it was still a rough pioneer town.

There were 152 taverns in the town. Wow. Plus 203 beer stops on top of that. Beer stops. That's like a big pub crawl. And the way to the, oh, we better stop off or a beer at this beer stop. Oh god, yeah, you'd die in that pub crawl.

Anyone would. Oh, I'd live. 203. That'll be real living. Oh, I'd live. 203. That'll be real live-in. Wait, depending on the rules, I mean, sure, you don't have to drink it every stop. You can just look at it. But still, that's a big day, walkin'.

Yeah, that's true. No, thank you. That's a lot of walkin'. Unless you could space that pub crawl out until like six months or something. Yeah. Just most weekends, getting like 10, you know? Yeah.

Have a look at them, have a squeeze. Yeah, it's a quick look It's a boring hobby just walking around looking at buildings. I'm I'm going on a pop crawl really soon Are you and I'm not drinking at the moment? Yep You're gonna have a great time or a terrible time. I'm gonna vote terrible time But that night. I'm seeing Mark Lanagan play. So, you know Swings and roundabouts baby and a lot of soda waters. Oh yeah. Yum yum yum.

Anyway, so there's lots of taverns, lots of beels and drinking. It's a rough town. One tavern and or beer stop for like every 30 people. Yeah, it's, it's, I imagine some of those are kits. Great. Imagination. Like three kids. Great imagination. Like three kids. Probably.

And on top of that as well. So that's what's causing it. Oh, now I feel weird saying this next sentence. On top of that as well, there were brothels. Toronto had quite a lot of brothels at the time as well. So on the night of the 12th of July, 1855, members of the Hook and Ladder Firefighting Company descended on the House of Mary Ann Armstrong

on King Street. And according to newspaper stories from the day, this House of Mary Ann Armstrong was suspected of being a House of Il fame. Do you think? So like comedians that are over the hill doing their shows from the 80s. Yeah, and it's like, and it's bit sad.

So sad. And poor taste jokes. Oh, yeah. I get that it was a different time, but like move with the times. Yeah. That's the ill-fain for you. Yeah.

That's what it was. So that's exactly what's happening in this house too. Fyfighting at the time was more of like a social club rather than a profession. Just a lot of splashing each other. Yeah, yeah, there's a lot of slow mo. Yeah, one ters is really fun. I'm in a great time. It's a frapp party of firefighters. The volunteers were often rough and tumble types. There was no central public government run fire department. There was just sort of different fire. Guys, and girls. I don't think there were many girls.

So when a fire broke out. Three, three, three. And there were kids. Probably the kids, yeah. Yeah, there were kids. Well, the kids were girls. When a fire broke out, all the companies who were nearby rushed to the scene with their horse-drawn engines to get their first and called dibs.

So it wasn't like, well, not like now, were you just call triple zero here, or 911, and they send out a fire brigade. This was like first-investress. A couple of weeks earlier. Are they battling it out to be the first? Exactly. Well, a couple of weeks earlier. The Hook and Ladders had arrived in a fire on Church Street at the same time as another

brigade and a fight broke out. So while a building is burning, two sets of firefighters, people who could put out the fire are instead fighting one another. So if you put it out, you get paid or something. Must do. Or yeah, well, I mean, they're volunteers, volunteers I don't know you get the glory. Yeah, maybe that's it It seems we if it's not then otherwise why not just to fight it together Yeah, exactly. I mean either way just find it together. Great. We've got two barrels of water now like that seems to make no sense right yeah Barrels of water my understanding of firefighting is pretty sophisticated, thank you. Um, so when the police showed up at that fight, they got, they got pulled into the brawl as well.

So it was a big... Hullabaloo? Hullabaloo is a perfect word, Matt, thank you for that. In the end, the firemen were charged with assault and the battle be kept battled, became known as the firemen were charged with assault and the battle be kept battle became known as the firemen's riot. So the hook and ladder boys would know stranger, it's no strangers to violence. Meanwhile, a touring show from the US called SB House Star Troop Managerie and Circus. Why did I struggle so hard? What did you just say? I'm not sure.

What do you say to me? Manezuri. Now do. Thank you. That's a place where people eat birds. A menezuri? That's where they eat birds. It's as I understand it, yeah.

And so it's that anacircus. Sorry, it's a collection of wild animals kept in captivity for exhibition brackets and eating. I made up the bracket, but. Right, there we go. So you can have C really. So this touring show, so yes, I've got caged animals and exotic animals and there's a circus. They rolled into town a couple of days earlier and the circus was done for the night and the clowns

Had the rest of the night off so they decided to take advantage of the local nightlife They picked a brothel near the corner of King and Jarvis and settled in to have some fun But the rest of the night wouldn't go as planned when you catch up with mates haven't and you say nightlife Yeah, where are you heading to probably Probably a pub, a bar, a karaoke place. Yep. I'd like to go see some live music. Yeah. Sometimes it's a restaurant. Sure. You have a meal and have a chat and catch up. Fairway Daniel, we've got to Brussels. Oh, I'm nowhere near that. Sometimes I just like to go to the house and then we just get some takeaway or we cook. Take away brothel? No, food. Okay. And we just catch up watching movies, maybe. Take away brothel? No, food.

Okay. And we just catch out watching movie, maybe. Oh, movies, go to the movies. Ten pin bowling. Bowling, go to a play, go to a... Arcade. And Arcade is fun. Magic show.

Oh, it's a little bit... Magic show. The weather's nice, just go sit in the park, that's lovely. Right. You know's lovely. Right. You know? Cool. Yeah. Yeah, I've never cut up with mates that are brothel before, but I was just wondering if

that was your experience too. Yeah, Dave, what's your thing to do with your friends? I already said it, magic show. Right, of course, sorry, she had a question. There's only one choice for me. Yep. And we know that. Close up magic?

Yeah. Up close magic. Up close. Which you prefer close up or up close? Up close in personal. Yeah. I'm part of the act. Oh, I'm a volunteer. Big time. Basically a volunteer firefighter, but with magic. Okay. So hang on a sec. Do you go to like magic shows? And just like walk out onto the stage. Yeah, I'm like, I assume you need a volunteer at some point, so let's cut the crap. I'm here.

I imagine you get nothing but resistance from the people you drag out of the audience, but I am willing to help you. I'm happy. Everyone, give me a round of applause. And today? Sometimes. Sometimes I get asked to leave.

I reckon people would see, think you're a sort of a plant. You would have viewed it from somewhere. Like a fern. Yeah. I am often mistaken for a fernery. Or a menace. A fernery.

I find plants are so weird, and unless you're gonna really hide it well, someone shared a clip of Andre Rue, Rue, recently, where he's talking to someone in the audience, you're going, you're out of your red, and then for some reason she shows her brows red as well You see this yeah, you're not even I can't believe someone else has seen this. Why is this being shit around? I don't know. I just saw it today. I only watched like half of it

So this is all I've seen so far can I just interject and say you're both wasting your lives Yeah, it's not that's a sad indictment on what we're up to but then yeah, they haven't this backwards and forward She was clearly a plant or it becomes clearer because he goes, I'm sorry, I'm going to have to play it. And then he starts playing some song, which is some sort of bullfighting song, I guess, because two men in a bull suit come out and come and it's a long process. The video, I watch the whole video. I'm like, where? This has got to have a twist. Why has someone shared it? No, I'm guessing someone shared it to be very funny and ironic. But anyway, so the ball comes up and it gets up to her and then she runs like it's a real ball

and runs out of the stage and then it's like pre-recorded up on the screen that she's running out. That's lame. But then again, it's from an Andre Rie. Yeah, I mean, it's the latest thing in the world. You should see the reactions of the rest of the crowd. They are blown away. Yeah, because it's like we were easiest thing in the world. You should see the reactions of the rest of the crowd. They are blown away.

Yeah, because it's like we were talking about last week with tennis crowds. Yeah. Andro, were you crowds? But they give him everything. Even easier than a task crowd? Probably on par. I would say easier. Easier.

So easy. I'd say there's a lot of overlap. Those old bitties in his audience are frothing over him. They love him so much. That's bitty, mean. I met an Andre Reu versus Andre Agacy. Wow.

That crowd. Bitty means. We die. We die. Made up of small parts that seem unrelated. Yep. Why are you trying to improve your... Your lexicon, I've been...

Why, just I never... Because because I always wonder what that means. Is it bitter or bitty? I would say bitty. Say, oh, time in old bitty. Oh, bitty. A woman, especially an elderly one, regarded as annoying or interfering. Yep, I stand by that. Got that on Dray Roo heads.

They're not listening to this. They cannot figure out how to work an podcast. And we haven't done a topic of him and we never will. So, all right next week's episode. No. Blocked show. Yeah, the most requested topic. It was Andre Roo. Roo. Anyway. There was this great sketch on an old MacArthur show. I because it was a new stopia and he did fake ads in it and he did one as him as Andre Ryu. And he's just like, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, plan a violent poly. And then it goes, he says at the end, Andre Ryu, my new album, you'll never forget it,

no matter how hard you try. I'm Andrea Rue. But you said it with that fun, Austrian accent, whatever it is. Please, Dutch. Fuck. You see? Dutch. I think so.

How do you know everything, Dave? I mean, look it up. Do you read it up? I've probably wrong. No, but like, you just seem to know a lot of things. About onto re-eared. No, it's just a good skill to have. Good for you, Dave.

Knowing a lot of things. That's probably about to tell me that he's not. I don't know what it looks like. No, I reckon you, you may, I believe you. I reckon you're right. I always believe you. Dutch is Dutch. Dutch.

Dutch is Dutch. Any. Can confirm. I'm on dry roof. I'm a Dutch. Dutch. He's Dutch. Any. Can Confirmed. I'm on dry roof. I'm a Dutch. In it. I was only supposed to blow the violin's bloody doors off. That's what he gets violins on have doors, right?

Or do they? Oh my God. That's what the rest of this report is about. All right, let's crack the clouds.. Wow, it's on tiny violin. All the big clown heads of tuned in will be getting very frustrated for this. They'll be frothing to get to the bloody... Frothing. You haven't even got to a clown yet.

Yeah, yeah. Basically, I think they just went to the brothel for the good night out. So the clowns have gone out and they're led by a man named Myers. And these were not sad clowns. Nor were they still wearing red noses and big shoes. Sounds like horny clowns. They were horny clowns. They were, when they weren't clowning,

like when they weren't performing, they were laborers. They were tough. They were given the hard physical labor of setting up and tearing down the circus tents as it moved from town to town. These are like big dudes. So they're big, scary looking tough dudes who have just walked into the same brothel

as another bunch of scary looking tough dudes. Five hiders. Correct. What an, that feels like an interesting mishmash, the toughness and the clowning. Yeah. I think of them as sort of different, I guess, you know, two sides of the same coin.

And the circus was kind of made up of like, other types of performers as well, sort of like, trape, not enough, they had trapeze, but like like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like,

like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, man are you but it's so like so that they're real rough guys and then their clams are like laugh at this little kid look at my nose honks laugh at it laugh I mean we're in Toronto early doesn't haven't got the accident they're from the US yeah fire nor flander in it the scene of all we where all clients are found. I don't know where that accents from. If, if anywhere, it's not an earthly Nord always. Innit.

Just to go on. Unearthly. So two groups of big scary tough guys are in the same brothel. Of all the brothels and all the towns. brothel is what I just said there. My back. Get no brothel, innit? So no one, no one seems to agree on exactly what happened next.

Some blame a particularly loudmouthed clown, but all agree that a drunk fireman named Frazier accidentally or intentionally not my his hat off. So they all agree that he either accidentally or unintentionally. He definitely knocked off the hat. But his intentions are not clear. And my eyes is the leader of the clowns. He's the leader of the clowns. You don't mess with the leader. You don't mess with the leader.

Well, or if you want to take over the clowns, then you'd mess with the leader. Oh, yeah, it's like your first day of prison. Yeah. Shank the top clown. Yeah. That's what they say. And then you're the top clown. If. That's what they say. And then you're the top clown. If you were in a brothel right, and you saw a clown have its head hat knocked off, you'd be like, this is about to get far. Hats, just a hat, his head.

Hat knocked off. And you'd be like, all right, what's good ever to you? He's got a squint on the face. He's got a squint on the face. I'd get prepared to get wet mate, all right. I reckon he's a plant, I reckon that fern over there's a plant. Yeah, and then, yeah.

So, Myers told Fraser to pick up the hat, but Fraser didn't. And a full-brown ball. Brawl break. Brawl break. Brawl. Brawl.

Brawl. Brawl. Brawl. A full-brown ball broke out. What are they like Waltzing? Oh, what's happening? Andre Rue is playing. A full-brown ball broke out. What are they like, Waltzing? Oh, what's happening? Andre Rue is playing. A full-blown brawl.

That's hard to say, you ever go. Full-blown brawl. Easy, now to it. What else? Give me another one. Full-blown brawl. Trying to be dramatic. I'm trying to tell like a Dave Warnocky kind of story. We're just fun and, you know, it's peaks and shit and I can't do

Dave. It's so exciting, so he said basically pick it up and he's like, I'm not gonna get it. And then pick up your own. Who knows, but someone threw a punch and then it was all in. All in. Pick up that punch. So, no. Big brawl.

Pick this up. Bang. At least two of the firefighters had to, were seriously injured and needed to be dragged out of the brothel for safety. So it's like, it's a pretty, they're quite violent. Apparently the hook and ladder crew eventually retreated and the clowns were left to have a night of sleazy fun. Right, so they must have obviously won if they just...

Well, another report, I read says report, but in another like retelling of a story, said that the clowns had retreated and run off into the night. So it's hard to say exactly what happened. Back into their little car. All 20 of them. Probably would have been a little horse and car back then. Same joke though. Makes you think that it doesn't. About how cars and quite a modern invention. You did also at the start, I'm afraid it was the horse-drawn engine. Yeah, I'm not sure.

I've got an engine, they put it on set of wheels and they get a horse to drag it on. The first thing that was invented in the car was the engine. Oh god, this isn't helped us at all, alright, get the horse to drag it. People are just sitting on this new engine, the same drag, no wheels. It's very uncomfortable. It's just a fancy seat. It's worse than other seats. It's a fancy, terrible seat. That's Henry a fancy seat. It's worse than other seats. It's a fancy terrible seat. That's Henry Ford's work for you. But so yeah, nobody is 100% sure on who retreated and who was the victor. But what we can say for sure is that the fight that

night ended. It's not still going. It's not the Korean war technically still happening Can confirm it ended at some point. Whoa. Don't know how or what time or when until they all died of old age But their son started People are having babies in the fight and the babies are coming out. What map? We got Come here fucking clown You just knocked my placenta off, my feet. I don't understand placenta. Pick it up. Pick it up.

Oh, pick it up. Put it back. Really? Are you sure? I'm pretty sure they dispose of these. The battle was over, but the war had just begun. The boys of the hook and ladder were staunch members of the orange order, as were most firemen, police and members of the Toronto political elite.

Be it a background on the orange order, who'd have the orange order? Have none. Okay, neither would I. So the orange order is a Protestant fraternal order based primarily in Northern Ireland. It also has lodges in the Republic of Ireland, a grand orange lodge in Scotland, other lodges throughout the Commonwealth as well as in the US and West Africa. Its name is a tribute to the Dutch-born Protestant King William of Orange, who defeated the army of Catholic King James II in the Willamite Jacobite War.

Obviously, we all remember that one, 1688 to 1691. Yeah. That was a good war. If anybody says what's your favorite, I say Willamite Jacobite, get out of here. It's members where orange sashes and refer to as orange men. Tough.

It's a bit cute, isn't it? It's about to do with animated oranges. Handing out little glasses of their juice. Screase. Yeah, squeeze their arm, and it's a little juice comes out. Yum. Scurvy is not a problem. The order sees itself as defending Protestant civil and religious liberties.

While critics have accused the order of being supremists, and they are a strict Protestant society, does not accept non-Protestances members unless they convert and adhere to the principles of orangeism. Orange gism. Cool. Is that what they said? No, that's an orange. That's how I said it. What are principles there? Gotta eat a lot of orange to get orange gism.

Yeah, so yeah, a lot. Six oranges over in the course of a month. Oh, that doesn't seem like all that much. You try. Yeah, you get to four or anything in God God, well, it's not a week. Well, it's ever-end. So you just do like one and a quarter each week. Yeah, good, good, good, nice try.

That's not quite right, is it? Is it one and a half? Well, basically, you also have to eat the skin. Oh, okay, you didn't mention that. That's the most orange part of all. Yeah, right, and that's, you didn't mention that. That's the most orange part of all. Yeah, right, and that's where you get the orange gizmo. So that didn't accept non-protestants, nor does it accept Protestants married to Catholics.

Members have been expelled for attending Roman Catholic religious ceremonies. In the period of 1964 to 2002, 11% of those expelled from the order were expelled for their presence at a Roman Catholic religious event such as a baptism, a service or a funeral. So you can't even go to a funeral of like a friend who's a Roman Catholic. Wow. Or you'll get expelled. This is just a bit of background on orange order.

From, I guess, a fun fact, from 1921 to 1968, every when from sorry 1921. Oh, he said 1931. No, he really gives that Irish spirit. I did that when I went to Ireland within three hours. My internal monologue was like an Irish accent and a guy I was walking along the street walking into town and a guy had a wheelbarrow. Can you tell the story with an Irish accent? No, because the point of it is that I did speak with an Irish accent.

Because he had a wheelbarrow and he moved the wheelbarrow so I could get past and out loud, I said, thanks. And then I was like, keep walking, you idiot. It just came out. Thanks. Three hours I'd been in Ireland. Three hours. And two. Thank you very much there, sir. To all of our Irish, this is hours I'd been in Ireland. Three hours. And two.

Thank you very much, there, sir. To all of our hosts, I'd like to apologise for that. I just want to be part of you. So between the years of 1921 and 1969, Nays. Nays. Nays. It's been landing. Say moon landing?

Oh, yeah. No, 69, got it. Woodstock, Nays. Nays. What a year for history, nae. Every Prime Minister of Northern Ireland was an orange man in those years. That's like 46 years, 47 years.

48 years. He was counting out. 49 years, 50 years, 51 years, 52 years. Mass. Everyone of what? Prime ministers. Of, Canada. Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland. So it comes from Ireland. Yeah. As do a lot of these by a

people in Canada now, right? And you said because you said their political classes also all orange. Yeah, but so the point that I'm making here under a fundra you, is that an orange man could be. Oh, I don't know. It does wear a lot of fake tan. So at its peak, which was about 1965,

the orders membership was around 70,000, which meant that roughly one in five adults, Protestant males were members. So it's a lot, it's a lot of people. And then since 1965, it's lost a third of its membership, especially in Belfast and Derry, and the orders political influence suffered greatly, because basically, so every prime minister

was an orange man, and like 87 of the 95 MPs were orange men. That's crazy. If there's only one in five people that are men, obviously there's even more people than that voting. So why are they only electing orange men? Control. So the arrangement, it's like, it's... Yeah, but they're being elected, right?

I imagine. Yeah. It's about Northern Irish politics, but I imagine that people are voting in the 60s. Yeah. Well, this is, yeah. So, and then they start to lose, yeah, since 1965, it lost a third of their membership. And then that unionist controlled government of Northern Ireland was abolished in 1973.

So as of 2012, the estimated membership of the Oranjord was around 34,000. So that just gives some context on the power and reach of this group, even more modern context. But if we go back to 1855, so those five men, that's Wayne's world in the Irish actually. So those five men... That's Wayne's word in the Irish accent. Dibbibidi. Dibbidi. Dibbidi. Dibbidi. Those five men had a lot of friends, right? Because in those days Toronto was still pretty much entirely run by the orange order.

So the five and rural members, they hung out together at the orange lodge and made sure that other orange men got all the important jobs in the city. Because they just all help each other out. I see. Yeah. So the police... So watch your just will help each other out. I see. Yeah. So the police. Please watch your orange now. It's who your orange now.

Exactly. All the police were pretty much all orange men. And there was this ongoing influx of Catholic Irish fleeing famine at home. So they're coming to what is now Canada. It wasn't even Canada then. So they... What was it? It was like, I don't know, I don't know.

It just wasn't fully Canada, I think. I could be wrong, that's what I read. So there's lots of like... Well, I think they celebrated 150 years last year. This is just before that. Yeah. So a lot of Irish Catholics coming over, which just meant that there were fights and riots between orange supporters and the new arrivals.

There were riots all the time. And like the orange men would be beating up Catholics. So the day after the fight at the brothel, it was Friday the 13th. Ooh. A crowd began together around SBHOW's Starop, Managerie, and Circus. The troop had pitched their tents at the Fair Green, which was a big grassy space on the waterfront. Just a few blocks east of the St. Lawrence Market, and there was all these farmers and merchants

who'd set up stalls at the market, and they were told to clear out because trouble was brewing. When the police chief, I called Samuel Sherwood, heard of the commotion, he sent six of his police constables down to deal with it. Now, there's two main resources that I've used for this part and they have very similar information, but one is definitely written by someone really focusing on the orange order part of the story. So I'll give you an example. One of them says Sherwood was a hapless non-entity who had been a tavern owner before securing his position through political connections. Okay, that seems fine. The other one says, but of course the chief of police Samuel Sherwood was an orange man. That's how we got to be chief of police.

So he was given this job previously. Sounds like a bloody cathode. Cathode? Yeah. Sort us orange people call the Catholics. Yeah, it sounds to me like a member of the Blue Man group. Get him out. Get him out. Also, the blue man group would favor a circus as well. Yeah. We love that shit. I love that shit. I love that shit. I was, I was brought up Catholic. I find, I, I always found that so fascinating that Protestants and Catholics obviously there's what there's so many different reasons, but at the core of what they both are, it's very similarly. Absolutely. But obviously it's way more like social

and historical things that divide them. But it feels like it's such a strange thing that two religions basically the same are our genemies. Yeah, it's very interesting. And I don't fully, I've never fully understood it. Even I also raised Catholic, no idea. I'm pretty sure I talked about it on an episode. Yeah, but Dave, we don I also raised Catholic. No idea. I'm pretty sure I talked about it on an episode.

Oh, we are the media. We are the media. I say that often, to be honest. Well, you are the media. One of my friends, I caught up with some friends just last night

and one of them works for Toyota in like the government environmental to like, yeah, she's doing very well. Anyway, she was talking about something at one point and then she went, obviously that's a bit of harsh, harsh though. And though and I was like too late you are speaking to a member of the media and you didn't say off the record Gotcha, so like I've tweeted all of this a microphone from under the table. Oh, yeah I always have a microphone with me anyway. Just in case just in case the bar that I'm at turns Besides the turn off the music and so a bit of comedy. Yeah

Anyway In case the bar that I'm at decides to turn off the music and start a bit of comedy. Yeah. Oh my God. Anyway, funny thing happened to me a couple of weeks ago on the way here.

No. I got a battery-approaching microphone. I take with me everywhere. Well, you're not plugging in everywhere, you go, I am? You can't plug in everywhere, you go! Have you got a megaphone? So what you got? You got even a lot in your mouth.

I got one of those kids toys from the 90s. So you're talking to an amazing voice. Everywhere you go! Have you got a megaphone? So what you got? Good evening, ladies and gentlemen! I got one of those kids toys from the 90s. So you talked to your daughter and made your voice so kind of echoing. Oh, I love that. How do I know? Of course you did. What color was it?

Green? It was actually green. What? What? Yeah, I'm a green boy. Green boy. Oh, no more orange men. I'm a green man.

It's all a favorite color. There you go. I said it. Wow. I said it. I don't agree with it. I'm in the blue woman group. I'm the green man, it's all a favorite color, green. There you go. I said it. Wow. I said it. I don't agree with it. Mine's blue. I'm in the blue woman group.

I'm also blue. I'm basically blue. We have talked about this and the blue bits of pink episode. We've talked about it a lot. It comes up too often to be honest for three adults to talk about their favorite colors. All right, we haven't said a second favorite color. Yellow. Green.

Orange. Oh, you also have a yellow. Maybe yellow. Your second class orange man. Third class orange man still in the middle of this. Maybe yellow. You're a second class orange man. Third class orange man. Yeah. I like yellow, I wear a bit yellow. Love a mustard.

Oh, you do, big time. Yeah, I love a mustard. I tell you what though, mustard blood he loves you. Oh, get out of it, you bloody. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I've won a salesman on time. You and mustard, just go so good together.

Tommy Sosmak. Tommy Sosmak. Tommy Sosmak. Tommy S. Anyway, I might go on, Aricken. Do you reckon? Please, please cut out that mustard chat. Nah, it's a little staying in there.

So what we're always trying to get at was that the Chief of Police is an Orange man as well and not necessarily qualified for the job that he has, but has been given it because of his connections. Exactly. Shall we just say connections? You know, tap in your nose, connections, wink. So I'm trying to say it as impartial as possible, but it's probably an important

thing to note anyway. By the time they got there, so by the time the police got there, it was on. The brawl had started. People were throwing stones. This isn't even the, the firefighter. This is just a mob. An angry mob has, has, like, just taken over the circus. The circus. Is that because they're enslaving animals? Is that the problem? No, I think it's because they're all orange men. Right. So this is just another angry mob coming

and being like, you beat up some of ours, now we're going to beat up you. There's people throwing stones. The circus performers and the canis were apparently able to hold off the mob for a while, but it couldn't last. Eventually they were overwhelmed by the crowd and when the hook and ladder boys arrived. I'm just so overwhelmed by you guys right now.

I can't even. 12 minutes of standing ovation? That's just a bit much. I'm feeling so many things. Thank you so much. Apparently, I did read somewhere that somebody rang the fire bell and then the hook and ladder fire, the fire, there's the ones who were in the original fire, sort of came past and then just kind of, I think there was a fire.

There was something on fire and they let it burn because they're like And then they got involved in the brawl as well. So that's good fun. Um They they stormed the circus with pikes and axes. They overturned wagons They pulled down the tents and the big top and they set fire to them. That's where the fire was Oh, right. I knew there was a fire in this, man. So, like, the hook and lighter boys are setting fire to stuff. They're ringing the bell and they're going, we're setting the fire.

Yeah, I'm not putting that out. You really don't need that. They ring the bell like, Oh, damn it. Now I've got to put it there. No, we have the bell code. Fireman's code. You've got to do it. They listen to that code.

Um, circus folk ran for their lives. Um, did any of them release the bears or the lions or anything? No, I don't. I think the animals probably would have turned on them, to be honest. Right, for their captors. The elephants were like, finally, we can kick the shit out of these kids. We're free! So it was complete Mayhem, and then the mayor turned up, and things calmed down a tiny bit.

It's working well with the sash. Well, no, this is my favorite thing. I think this sentence is straight of like an Edgar Wright film. So this is a sentence about the mayor. He says, he kept a fireman from killing a clown with an axe by grabbing it out of his hands. So I'm just imagining like a mayor just in a suit

casually walking through a brawl and like taking an axe and like, and they keep that here. Enough of that. The mayor called in the militia to take control of the situation and only then did the mob start to disperse. So it was an absolute mess. Crazy. Yeah.

Sounds like they're real, hola-beloo. It was a bit of a hola-beloo. And following the riot, all of the police present testified that they were unable to identify any participants. Because they were orange, man. One constable said that it was too dark. Couldn't see anyone. While another suggested that the riot had been carefully orchestrated to include only individuals

not known to the police. They brought in people from out of town. Is that orchestrated? I guess it is. Yeah, that's quite orchestrated, yeah. And beforehand, they're like, do the police know you? Yep, get out.

They know you? No? That was it. That was the vetting process. Who were the police around the orange side? Yeah, the police were all around. So they're on the car. They're with the circus.

No. On the circus people, orange? No. No, the police are all right. So they're on the cart, they're with the circus. No. On the circus people, orange? No. No, the firefighters. The hook and ladder will be the firefighters. So everyone in the town, not everyone, but most people in the town will orange men. Wow, I does feel like that Edgar Wright movie where they're all blue people.

Ooh. Hot fuzz. Hot fuzz. It does have a hot fuzz feel about it. Got that, hot fuzz feel about it. Got that. Hot Fuzz feel. That's a good feel. So, um, yeah, it was too dark or it was orchestrated so I didn't know anyone.

Um, these very interesting memory lapses mirrored police work during other incidences like the firemen on firemenwl earlier that month, and the ongoing Protestant Catholic street battles, all of the places were like, oh, I'm not sure. I think, do I like that all the time though? Yeah. Oh, I don't know, did it. Well, yeah, because they're protecting their own.

So the Feynman on Feynman Brawl, they're like, oh, I'm not sure who was there. They're like, a bunch of Catholics are getting beaten up, they're like, no, I can't tell you who did it. no idea, it didn't see, it couldn't tell who it was. But they definitely probably did know. So the press and the public protested loudly at this perceived favoritism, and an investigation was launched, and it highlighted deep problems with the city police force. Even Chief Sherwood himself had eventually shown up to this riot with the clowns, but could only claim to have stopped the rioters from setting fire to the cages of animals.

Oh, that's good. So he stopped them from that, so that's good. They were going to set fire to the animals. Yeah, it seems weird, doesn't it? That's the orange people. Yeah. Oh boy. But of the 17 people who were charged in the riot, only one was ever convicted.

So it was, people were sort of claiming that it was all a big cover. I feel unlucky of you that one person. Yeah. He'd be like, what do you know, girl? Sorry, mate. Everyone hates you. Yeah. You, sir.

Even the orange people. Yeah. You're the worst orange. You're the orange. You're probably seeing muffins that you bring to the meetings. Ah, dog shit. They're dry and stale. And wet at the same time somehow. I need to do that.

And you do that. Why do you do that? So a few months later, there was another Protestant versus Catholic riot and chief Sherwood's memory was again suspiciously fuzzy, as far as arrangement was concerned. So, people are going, was this person involved? He's like, Rod, or no. It sounds like Scooby Doo. Rarro.

A few months after that, he was under fire again after freeing a suspect who had been accused of robbing a bank. So, he's not a great cop, anyway. Not even a cop. No, he's not. The police can't stop us at the time, right? They were just appointed at the whim of the city counsellors. And no particular training was

offered or required. They're just like, you want to be a cop? All right, you're in the glow. No, I don't know. You're in, I bet it. No, I already said you're in. I bet it not I already said you're in has on the way home for lunch Yeah on your home to the police barracks. Yeah, you're in you're in you're in um you're orange you're in you got an orange you got a gym They doing kills with an orange They're doing kills with an orange. You got an orange, then you got a gem. It's a fruit of a thousand uses. For example, oh, God.

That's a versatile fruit. Aiding one. That's one. Juicing two, three, use it as free weights, four, et cetera. Beautiful. There was a report done by the Globe and the inquiry revealed that once a council was appointed, this is a quote, says he receives a button the next day,

but no instruction, whatever, accompanying it. So what best would be like, you're in, he's your weapons. What I'll do with this. And I got no idea what they're doing. Do I look like a teacher? The system, this system meant that because it was, you know, it was all to do with who you know. So this system meant that constables were far more beholden to political power than to their actual superiors. So during the inquiry, when asked, what charge do you have over the force

as chief of police, chief share would replied, a very small one indeed. And he went on to say, I give orders and instructions to the force, but I can't get them obeyed. As soon as I'm out of sight, the men do as they please. Oh, man. Which feels good at your job. Yeah, well, it feels a little bit like, ah, you're definitely not good at your job,

but you're also deflecting blame. I'm bit there too, like I mean, I can't. I am with you. They should behave better. They don't do what I tell them. They do whatever they want. As the chief of police, I can't be expected to act as some sort of chief. The bark has to stop somewhere and it's with all of them. Not with me. But by so, uh, but by then there had been a Merrill election and for the first time in more than a- They elected a Merrill. A Merrill.

Merrill, Bainbridge? Straight, obviously. How? Sorry, Bainbridge. Um, run her up again. For the first time in more than 20 years, a Liberal Reform Party candidate had won. So the City Council called for deep reforms to the way Toronto's

police force was run and the government of Canada West agreed. While the inquiry didn't change anything overnight, its revelations were the beginning of the end for the corrupt, inefficient, and archaic policing system of the day. The City Council made several attempts to form a policing board of commissioners, but it wasn't until 1858 that an approved board was able to formulate a new design for the police department. So in February of 1859, the entire police force was fired. Well, that time. Although almost half of them were re-hired.

That time. If I, half of you re-hired, which ones? Work it out on to yourselves. Figure it out. What? I can't be, what? All of a sudden now I have to do everything. Great.

Great. Wonderful. I've got to do inventory. I've got to sit at the reception desk, and I've got a police. I've already fired the whole force. And rehired, I've been working my ass off in the last 30 seconds.

Yeah. And now what? I've got to rehire him. Oh. 30 seconds. Yeah, and now what? I've got to re-harve them. Oh! You ever fired 8,000 people one go? Well, I just do. How did you do it? Mass email, I guess.

Yeah. Do you have to get them into a big meeting room and try to... No, I'm trying to be a whispers. You tell one person, they tell one person. Yeah, that's whispers. That's bread. Take one pass of the one. That's bread fast.

You fired. It has a picture of Donald Trump on it. And half of them on the back. That's your hire. You fired. You fired. It has a picture of Donald Trump on it. And half of them on the back. That's your high. That's a good way, 50-50. It says you fired PTO. And you turn over and it says you hired or it says seriously get the fuck out. What a roller coaster.

So yeah, half of them around half got re-hired. Many of those that were re-hired were recruits post-circus right. So a lot of the ones that were maybe still there who were sort of in the corrupt times. So there was some sort of system to the re-hiring. Seems to be. It took nearly 100 years before the orange order, Stranglehold. Strangold, Stranglehold. Strangle hold. Strangle hold. On power in Toronto was finally broken. A regulatory regime was put into place which is similar to what is

used today and this event is incredibly with influencing the current policing system in Toronto. Wow. There you go. Strangle holding an orange normally results in juice. Mmm. Love orange juice. How good is it? It's refreshing. Oh my god, it's so yummy. It's so, I've probably told you others before, but I can't. If I ever go to sleep dehydrated, I dream of sculling orange juice. You've not told us that. And that's white. I'll just have like whole dreams of just sculling orange juice. Unlimited, just neckin' it, neckin' it, neckin' it. Wow.

That is so odd. What does it mean? It means you're thirsty. You're longing to be an orange man. Honestly, it's not that hard. You're just thirsty. Do you drink my orange juice in your day to day life? No.

I drink it a glass every day and I don't have that dream. So take a leaf out of my book. Maybe that's what it is, maybe my body's telling me something. I used to drink it, then I heard that it's just like, it's all the worst parts of the orange. It's all the fructose without any of the fiber. I think that's true.

Dave doesn't want to believe that that's true. I don't want to believe, because it's so nice in the morning. I don't drink coffee, I'll drink orange. It's so nice in the morning. I don't drink coffee every morning. Yeah Every day one glass just one. You know, it's better for you grape juice grape juice a grapefruit grapefruit juice. Yeah grapes a fruit Dave Grape juice is what we're talking about one wine yeah, we're glass of wine in the morning.

A banana. Oh, a banana. Yeah, a bit of a banana. Hmm. I'm a Fenty Lade. Ooh. How you banana? Lady finger banana.

Banana. Anyway, that was the end of my report. Bona naa. What a wacky story. It's wacky. And I forgot to mention who suggested that. That was suggested by Sarah Young from Melbourne. Sarah Young will change in mind. Little Triple J hit for just there. Yep. I'd talk your language, youth. What song? From 10 years ago. What song is that? Oh, I don't know. Sarah Hanson Young, the Green Senator, perhaps?

No, it's, I don't know. Where is it? Diane Young. Diane Young by Vampire Weekend. It doesn't matter. Not a great song. It's fine. Whatever.

Sorry, everybody. I'm sorry, Sarah. You deserve more. It was just a weird and wacky story. That is a funny story. One of my parents' favorite shows, whenever I'm sorry, Sarah, you deserve more. It was just, it's such a weird and wacky story. I just remembered one of my parents' favorite shows, whenever I say they ask, they're often watching, it's called Murdoch Mysteries, you know, the head of the show. It's set in Toronto in the, I believe, 1890s,

and it's about the Toronto constabulary. And they are often talking about Catholicism and little religious things. You seen the show? My mom loves it too. Oh, my parents can't get enough of murder. Not just loves like crime shows, any crime shows. She's pretty good.

It's pretty good though, if you are a do-go-on listener. And it's pretty cool because I have references like the right brothers appear in it. Yeah, Charlie Chaplin appears in. Uh, Tesla, I walked in on someone watching a real embarrassing moment. And, uh, I'm so sorry. I should have knocked it off.

I may know a master, but it was so time. I don't know. Oh, I'm a little bit awkward, Tesla. I had Tesla in a need invented some sort of a thing that ended up in the weapon to finish the show. I only watched the last five minutes. I'm like, what a wild ride. Whoa, whoa.

There was a horse and car chase with a Tesla weapon on the back. It's pretty wild, but it's quite enjoyable. Okay, because it looked stupid to me. Yeah, but I think it's done. No, it's silly, definitely. But I wonder if I asked my parents if there's any mention of these orange people. Orange order. Orange order.

Are they alive among us still? Yeah, they're in Australia. Right. Are we talking like, all the way to the top sort of stuff? Maybe. Any triangles or any orange triangles that live? No, one do it, no. Oh, David, no, about it.

Oh, lizard lips, Dave. Lizards lips. Jesus. Well, they have lips. You can't really have lips. You don't have lips. Did you think have lips? You don't have lips. Did you think you had lips? Well, this time.

They really, come on, stop pissing around. You know you don't have lips. I've got scales on my face. Oh, yeah. I can stop doing that. Tastes like a lizard. So we do what we always do at the end of the show. Yes. And thank people for listening thus far. And do at the end of the show. Yes.

She's been for shame. She for shame, Ellen. She's basically saying that just so people that are serial killers can't sue her and say, Ellen told me to keep doing this. When you get to her level, I'm sure that's exactly what happened. Everyone has your ass. Everything she says has an asterisk. Yeah, it has to. But I mean, there's a lot of people that she didn't put her caveat there for. Yeah, what about like? What about salt, like one-time killers, for instance? Yeah. Yeah. Good point.

But maybe you can accept that and move on and never kill again. Right. I guess if you're a one-time killer, yeah. You're never going to kill again. Yeah. I accept it. That's all right then. Except to you are. Except to you are. Daniel, is this what you were getting the meaning from this?

Yeah. I hope you've enjoyed this. Except to you are, geez, I reckon she would have delivered it differently. She would have done it dancing over a table. Except to you are, unless you're a serial killer, we'll be right back. Confetti Cannon. Yeah. Pooh.
