Okay, so what we do here is we take it in turns to report on a topic usually Wait, wait. They've get back out and explain this show for new listeners. Okay, so what we do here is we take it in turns to report on a topic usually suggested by a listener, go away, do a little research, bring it back to the others who have no idea what the topic is gonna be. So it's a surprise every time. And to get us on to topic, it's just a standard report. So she's gonna ask a question.

Have you written a question? Yes. Question is which family who shared their name with a stone fruit were a Vorderville sensation of the late 1800s? The Apricots. Peach family. Nope.

The nectarines. No. The Adams family. The avocados. Smaller. The plums. Smaller. Oh.

Smaller. Lachies. No, they're not nuts. They're the opposite. Are they? I don't know. It's the stone fruit. Stone, they're not stones. Oh, finally.

Have any of the things I've said been stone fruit? Yeah. And I've said apricot. Small than an apricot. Uh-huh. Bloody hell, I didn't know that. What does this nanotechnology? I think everyone like a little, on a little stalk.

Grapefruit. Great fruit. No. Great, just great. No. Similar to a grape. Oh, cherry. Cherry! Cherry is a stone fruit.

Yeah, I had to Google it. They are stone. Bloody hell. Wow, we've learned a lot here today. We've learned a lot already. It's about all of the time for that. Thank you so much for joining us. The cherry family.

The cherry family, yes. Great name, aren't we? More specifically the. The Cherry Family, yes. Great name, right? More specifically the Cherry Sisters. Okay, that's great name. This has been suggested by Sophie and it's a pretty fun story. So in the mid to late 1800s, the Cherry Family lived on a farm in Marion, Iowa. Thomas and Laura Cherry had eight children, six of whom survived infancy, their names were Ella, Lizzie, Addy, Effie and Jesse and their brother Nathan.

Or Rod Nathan. And they were raised on a farm in Lynn County. Their mother Laura died in 1875, leaving the kids in the care of their father and all the family, the whole family, dad and all the kids, tended to the 40-acre farm. Big farm. They were quite a poor family, but Thomas told his children stories of how they were descendants of English nobility. I think the sisters accepted this story because as writer Jack L. Hyr writes and he has an

amazing story that I will draw from a lot. He writes, these poorly dressed barefoot and socially awkward sisters needed an ego boost and they accepted their father's family in broodery. That's kind of nice. That's nice. That's nice. I mean, can we all order an ego boost? We need one?

Yeah, do you want one? Yes. Dave, you are so great. Thank you. How do you feel? Right, about the same. I wish we took a photo before and after. Yeah, that would have been better actually.

He looked exactly the same. Do you want to give it a go? Because I didn't do a very good job at seams. Hey Dave, yes. Your hair no longer looks ridiculous. Oh, thank you. Del looks ridiculous. Thank you. To ladies of gratification there. I mean, it's about 10 years since it did, but I still thank God every time I say it.

Thank God. I thought I don't have that hair anymore. It's such a weird thing that it's all your work. It makes you feel physically sick. No, you've always had great hair, Dave. No, I don't know a lot of my sick because I was jealous. Dave. That's beautiful, flowing mane. Thank you.

You are probably a descendant of someone who did something pretty impressive. Now you're talking, and. Yeah, German. What are some big things Germans did in the past? Whoa. There was some big inventions, surely, out of German. I think the printing press can, I don't know German,

you did it. The Luftwaffe? Is that them of gem. I think the printing press can. I do. The Luftwaffe. Is that them? I don't even know what that means. Do you have a blimp? That's the Air Force. OK. Well, what's that?

Is that them then? You know that's the question. It sounds like it is it. Oh, well. I'll have it one. Double scoop Luftwaffe. Luftwaffe to go. Yeah, I'll have the Luftwaffles, please.

Oh, I don't know, I want sweets. The father Thomas died in 1888 when Jesse the youngest was 17. Nathan, having gone off to work in Chicago, never returned. Oh, too windy. It was like I cannot get out of this city. Every time I try the wind just blows me back inside. I'm like bloody hell. I imagine living in a city where the wind blows you.

I guess that's probably most cities. Yeah. But it blows you back into your own house. Yeah. You are trapped by the wind. You are a prisoner of the wind. Wow. Wind prison.

Whoa. I didn't know about that. So that's when they call it the windy city. It's sort of the wind. Wow. Wind prison. Whoa. I didn't know about that. So that's when they call it the windy city. It's sort of like, it's like a police town. Yeah. It's like a cry for help. Yeah. And the wind cries.

Get back and saw. Oh, that's how wind sounds. So Nathan never came back. No, he, well, there's like, come. Go. Oh. Hey, you know, there's all... Come. Go. Oh. Hey, you know, there's all these horror movies lately.

There's like that one wind, there's no sound. Mm-hmm. And there was that one with birds. That one's a bit further ago. Yeah. But maybe this one is where the wind is the baddie. Oh. Oh.

I'm a kid. You're a little... And Adam's sound will play the wind. Oh, and Adam Sandman plays the wind. Oh, you're got to get a key. It's not a very good Adam Sandman, it was a shant man. But it's wind man. Okay. The wind man.

But how do you escape the wind? You can't. Whoa. You shoot people who try and shoot guns at it. Shooting each other. Yeah. And they're really out there because these are shooting through wind. Yeah, that's how it ends.

Whoa. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's how it ends. Whoa. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, okay, I think so the spoil was not enough to see that movie that I didn't want to see anyway, because I'm scared. So, thanks. Yeah, Nathan, he didn't come back.

There was sort of like, the way it's written in a few places is that he like, he disappeared. Others were sort of like, he was kind of like, I don't want to work on this farm, I don't want to just live in poverty peace out. So whichever way it was he didn't come back. So, Effie wrote later that he had left his sisters orphans to battle our way through life alone. So the sisters banded together, they scraped by on what they could make from the farm's dairy output

and they made a pact to stick together. They would never marry or do anything to threaten their sisterly bond. Yeah, right. Like, it's just us against the world. Nathan was the brother of the city and really leave them orphaned. Orphans to battle our way through life alone. Yeah, right. So they were like, I mean, he's also an orphan, yeah. They regretted, they held it against him, but he didn't come back. Yeah, right. So that was like, I mean, he's also an orphan, yeah. They regretted, they held it against him, but he didn't come back.

Yeah, yeah. He should have probably stuck with them or, yeah. Um, so yeah, they're sticking together, reading a description of them, sounds a bit like putting a group of superiors together, except this skills are really, I mean, much less full on. So it's like, this is how it was written. I was like, Ella, the eldest, was fond of physical work, small and stout. Lizzy, the next oldest, was taller, blonde, and a skilled painter. Addy, brown-haired, and mathematically adept. Brown-haired, that's pretty

super. She's brown-haired. Effie, the musician of the family, and the tallest, was often told she had an apple blossom complexion with dark brown hair and mild blue eyes. She wrote of herself. What kind of blue? Mild. Mild. Just a mild blue. A lot of their names seem like they just got them out of the alphabet.

There's Addy. Well, that's not really what I... Effie. What's the first one? Ellie? Ella? Yeah, yeah. Is it Emma? Is there a Zetty? Addy, well that's not really what a Fee. What's the first one? Ellie? Yeah, yeah. Is it Emma?

Is there a Zeddy? There's no, sadly there is no Zeddy. GG. The baby of the family was Jesse, the delicate and baby debuty of the family in both face and soul. So she has no skills. No skills, but she's good. Yeah, everybody just does stuff.

Your job, the baby. Look hot. Yeah. Well, I don't think she's said hot, like a baby. Well, she's gonna grow up. Okay. Yeah, babies grow up, Matt. Sorry, Matt.

Oh my God. Why do we have to keep explaining this to you? When have you ever seen a baby grow on? Adults, babies once. Have you ever seen a big baby? What? I haven't. I've never seen a big baby. Okay, so what happens to babies? Like, you know, they...

You don't know. Don't know where babies come from, don't know where they go. They get taken back away by those big birds. So they just drop me for a bit? Yeah. Okay. So look after them, until they're big babies, So they just drop me for a bit. Yeah. Okay. To look after them, until they're big babies, and then they go back to baby town. Oh.

And then they just live as babies in baby town. Yeah, one big babies. And what's a big baby? A baby that's like a really big baby. So that's, I mean, they're just babies of big. How many? I can't put that any simple. How many months or years would a baby have to live to be a big baby?

After two they become big. They go through their babies have a growth spurt in their two to four period. Right. I thought you went to school. Okay, well I mean I'm just asking questions. I mean the whole point of this podcast is to learn. Yeah, I'm trying to learn. I mean, the whole point of this podcast is to learn. Yeah. I'm trying to do so. And I feel like this should be a safe place for me to ask some of my little little little babies.

Sorry. Yeah, that's, I mean, that's how it goes. You know, they didn't teach us that in Catholic school. OK, we didn't learn about big babies. Oh, yeah. It's I wouldn't want you to know about that in Catholic school. I felt like it was so about big babies at Catholic school. Yeah.

So I didn't know. So how old is this big baby now? Well, Jessie was the youngest and when her dad died, she was 17. Thank goodness. So they were all like young women? So that's 17, she's quite a big baby. She's a massive baby.

You can almost say she's like a, she's probably like a young adult. I'm not a baby. I would say. Not yet a big baby. All I need is time. That awkward period between a baby and big baby. I hate that you sit in the dinner table

and you can't understand what the big babies are talking about but the baby's, you're not even on the baby table. Yeah. Oh, you're stuck in between.ain. Just standing up to eat. It's difficult. It's just awful. I do feel for them. So they did what they what they could to get by by the early 1890s. Ella was managing the farm and it's six cows on her own.

While Addy was working in a friend's boarding house in Marion, Jesse was attending school and Effie and Lizzie had moved into town to operate a dairy store. Okay, attending school sounds like, that's the kind of school I passed with flying colors. Actually, I didn't always attend. But it feels like a low bar. This is where we teach you how to attend.

She's attending school. You're doing it. You're learning, you're doing it. Well done. You're not here. Well, that's a shame, because you're all the ones who need this lesson in the most. One morning in January of 1893, Effie was out doing milk deliveries and stopped by

Addy's school. Did she say get A? She said, Addy, I've decided we're going to put on a concert at the Opera House. It's so crazy in my word. And he's like, I don't know. But if he's like, the people love it. The cherry sisters on stage, it'll be fun. This is in the I-1 town?

Yes, in their town. So they've got an opera house in there. Does it a pretty big town? I think, well, it must have been like a, it might have, oh, might actually don't know. It was a fairly small town. So they call the Scout Holy Opera House? Yeah, I don't think Sydney Opera House. Okay. I think more like any kind of theater, maybe would have been called an opera house at the time. That's a good question, I'm not

100% sure, but they're doing it in an opera house. So Addy was worried about the reaction to some of the people in the town. She thought it might make their lives a little harder if people decided to mock them or dislike them as a result of them putting on a show. It's sort of like being scared of putting yourself out there. Yes. Tall, poppy, syndromes, live, and well, and I, well. Bloody hell.

But if he had a reply locked and loaded, it's like she was ready for this. Shut the fuck up! Shut the fuck up! I said so and she starts punching her. Keeping up. Any more questions? Oh my god. I said so and she starts punching her. I keep it going. Any more questions? What's the call, the horse bar on your knee? Was that one as cool?

Is that another name as well? Or just as cool as the horse bar? I was part of the horse bar. Yeah. Oh, I'm happy with that. It was so good at those. It was so cool. Back at the car, I could get every time

and I could never do it. My little hands, my little delicate hands. The other one that was big in primary school was the elephant fuck. What's that? Never that of me. Someone had sort of knee you in the butt. Elephant fuck.

Maybe that was just specific to our school. Why was it called elephant fuck, though? I think his elephants, I guess, have a real big dick. That's like a, like a, like a, sort of a leg or a knee. Yeah, right. Yeah sure sure sure That was thinking back that was just one guy and he only did it to me. Oh And it was it your brother

He has real specific tradition in their house And today do you know elephant fuck while doing it? Yeah, he'd say it as he did So he's probably school high school. Oh wow saying elephant fucking promise school I think we need to call the principal Jesus Christ. Hey, oh good fun. God Are you a bully everyone's gonna you're right man? Oh, no, we're all we're equally having fun I'm only crying because I'm laughing so hard That you got me you got me real good. I'm too good bathroom. I'm related Anyway, that's not what every said if we did not elephant fuck it

Well what was her response locked in light? She said it doesn't bother me in the least daddy. I'm not afraid of them So she said she's like I don't give a shit. I'm gonna give a shit of that whole 10 elephant fucks us I'm gonna give you that whole 10 elephant foxes. Like... Ha so I know it's happened, but it was never called an elephant fuck. So that's very funny. So I quickly put together a show, naming it something good, something sad. Oh. Okay. And selling tickets to the local drugstore with a hand-painted sign that read lovely costumes,

rare and sweet music, laughed to buy the yard. Okay. Bit of fun? What's the sad bit? Why are you hamming that up? Maybe it's like a play on something good, something bad. Something good, something sad. What? Hahaha.

It's like that phrase, bad. That's what that show is. Hahaha. And you know, like the, the counterpoint to sad is good. They're not really seldom sells there, are they? Good, something good. Something good. Something okay.

Something it'll make you cry. They're not over promising. Yeah, that's true. So that's all right. And it's your first show. You don't wanna sell yourself to, you don't wanna be like, they're great at show and the entire universe.

That's true, that's what I'm saying. So maybe like, underplay it and exceed expectations. Maybe that's the aim here. I don't know. And then only a couple of weeks later, the big night was upon them. January 20th, 1893, an audience gathered to see the show. And we've had two weeks later.

Yes. So that's right, the show. Rehears the show. Promote the show. Tell the two. But also, they've promised what were the costumes? Lovely. Oh, I thought they promised even bigger than that.

No, lovely costumes, rare and sweet music, and laughter by the yard. The biggest promise I think is laughter by the yard. Which sort of contradicts the sad part of the tone. But paythos. I imagine that. Sadness by the yard. Yeah. Come on down.

You can't sell that. So yeah, it's that there's a crowd coming to see the show. The opener. Set the tone. Ella performing a self-written ballad called Old Sam Scratch. In blackface. Oh, okay. Here.

Jesse was up next playing the harmonica and sang a song called, Oh, why did they dig bars grave so deep, little Nelly? She trying to break into her mother's tomb? That's what it says, why? Why is it so deep? Ellie. She trying to break into her mother's tomb. That's what it says in white. Oh, why is it so deep? I just want to get the jewels out of there, Jesus. Oh, why did they dig Mars grave so deep, little Nelly?

Little Nelly. Why are you asking Nelly? Why is this Nelly's problem? Oh, why did they dig Mars grave so deep, little Nelly? That's funny. All right, so far, have we had laughter by the art or the sadness? Hard to say very hard to say and I will mention as well there is no further mention of blackface so

I just will just till it the cringe go but not great is it? Not good at all. Not a good start. Not a good start no. Throughout the show this is just performed a series of skits and musical numbers. Poetry, mouth harp, playing. I mean, they couldn't get a harp.

Is that harmonica? Yeah, maybe. Or is it a separate thing? Yeah, it must be. There's probably a separate thing. SA reading, fake hypnosis, and other artistic expressions. Fake hypnosis. We don't do it. Don't we know that? We don't know that.

But if you come up here and we tell you to do something, you just do it. You better. And now you're hypnotized. Like a chick. Yeah, it's good. You're way ahead of me. So a variety shows a big thing at the time,

or is this a pretty revolution? Yeah, it's big. Yeah. And so at the end of the night, they'd made a little over $200, which this is like the late 1800s. That's heaps of money. Yeah, good on them. So they made really good money and they thought, we're onto something here. You look out mouth harp. Yeah, it's a bit of juice harp.

Mouth. So I know it's juice harp. Vargan, mouth harp, geegor, goomba, combus, trump, ozark harp, galation harp, burrimboud, debukka, or mirtunga. It's a lamelephone instrument consisting of a flexible metal or bamboo tongue already to touch your frame. I imagine it is something you sort of, yeah, that's more what I was imagining. I was imagining something you have in your mouth and you move your mouth, I think, to change the note and then you press the little thing and it bounces a bit and makes a sound.

It looks like a torture device. Yeah, a little bit, yeah. Yeah, you get your nuts in there. So different to a harmonic crop. So that is important. Yeah. So yeah, they make good money. First shows at success and they're on to something. So they decide to take the show on the road. The nearest city was Cedar Rapids. But it seems that the sisters had performed mostly to friends and well wishes in their hometown who maybe had been too generous in order. Oh that's right, it's easier to smash opening out at the comedy festival

if you're saying we're in friends. Exactly, because the city folk of Cedar Rapids hated them! Little Nelly, come on! They hated them, the crowd threw cigars, food, anything else they could get their hands on as the sisters sang and bowed from the stage. Well, I've got as money, I'll peg them with it. That's hard, pretty. So what, so obviously they weren't good singers?

No. You hadn't mentioned that yet. I know, and literally I knew that this would be your reaction so my next sentence covers this. Okay. The elevator picture this story made me laugh. A group of sisters travel around doing a terrible show. But then in reading more about them, I felt a bit bad. I didn't want to mock them. But one part of a really great story about them really turned it

around for me. And so again, it's from Jack Elhye. He says, no reasonable person could see the audience respond as ad, could see the audience response as adulation. The cherries were taunting the public and performing badly was essential to their formula. So essentially, there's arguments all through it, but pretty much they were in on it. They'll play in the villains sort of. They'll like a parody of a show.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, that sounds funny. They sort of went, I don't know if it, I don't think it started in that way, but they kind of went well We're doing this show and we're like and and we're getting good audiences and we're making good money and We'll just keep doing it. This is a classic tummy-wise. Oh, I meant the room to be bad Yeah, terrible now to the world showing how bad it is so Sophie if you who suggested it her pitch was it's the original the route ah that's true so that's the tone to look at it with did Sophie have a surname no just said so

if you're not sure which Sophia was not a moss um so yeah because I I sort of thought the same thing originally I was like this is so funny and then I read more about them I'm like they seem quite nice I don't like just hearing about a group of young women getting stuff thrown at them, but they do very well out of it. So I think I believe that they were very much in on it. He also writes that after rioters began breaking up furniture, the management darkened the lights and told everyone to leave. As the press portrayed the event, the cherries misinterpreted this tumult as an eruption of enthusiasm for their talents. But of course the crowd had a different intent and the sisters could not have failed to realize it.

So it's the same sort of thing, like they're aware of the audience not loving them, but it was sort of the original, it's so bad, it's good. Yeah. And so they lent him. Yeah. It's very, very funny. But the press are writing stuff like, the sisters thought that they were tearing

the room apart because they loved it. Yeah, exactly. You're tearing the room apart. Ha, ha, ha. Sorry. Who would he say to? You're tearing me apart Lisa. You're tearing the room apart Lisa. Oh, I'm

the editor of the Cedar Rapids Gazette said, if some indifiable instinct of modesty could not have warned them that they were acting the part of monkeys, it does seem that the overshoes thrown at them would convey the idea. Okay. So the people are throwing stuff at them. Back in the days, they wore undershoes as well. Mm.

Double shoes. Double shoes. What was that really called socks back then? Maybe that was the days they wore undershows as well. Mm. Double shoes. Double shoes. What was that really called socks back then? Maybe that was the old man for socks. Yeah, that's great. Because you're undershows and you're over shoes. Get your undershows. I'm just pegged in the face with a sock.

So they got this terrible main review from the Cedar Rapids Gazette. And they saw it as an opportunity for more publicity and to really milk the attention that they were getting. So they just, I thought, what, it's sort of wiling. Yeah. So they just onto that they were getting. So they just sort of wiling. Yeah. So they just onto it.

They disputed the Gazette review of their show, claiming it was liable, and agreed to take part in a sham trial in front of an actual judge, and in front of an audience the next night. So essentially get a judge down, we'll have this whole courtroom scene play out in front of an audience. We'll charge tickets for it, obviously. Oh, great. They're marketing geniuses. Yeah.

So there they are. Imagine being able to get people out for that the next night. Yeah. Hey, town, we're doing a show. It's a weird new show where it's a fake court case. I know you saw it tomorrow. If you saw us last night and threw stuff out, let's become to the court case.

It'll be fun. It'll be different. So they, they at that show, they argued that editor Fred Forks had written maliciously and he was convicted in inverted commas and sentenced to hard labor on the cherry farm plus an additional penalty of having to marry one of the cherry sisters. There's no worse penalty.

He's like, oh, I got a pick one. So he's in on this as well. He's coming to the party part of the trial. Yeah, he came to be part of it. He's not like, he's not in on the show or he's not really, I don't know, but he agreed to, he's like, if you're gonna sue me,

then you've gotta have to do it in your show. And so that's what they did. He did not marry any of us. He did him. No. Didn't they marry any of them. He didn't. No. Didn't I already have a pact where they wouldn't get married? Yeah, but that wasn't them saying you got to marry one of us. It was the judge saying you got to marry one of them.

Which I mean, like, that's weird. I guess it's that he's like, or he or she is a regular judge. Dave, it's the 1800s. He's a regular judge. That was my feeling, anyway. But thank you. Hey, what shade could be an 800s judge? You get the feeling that usually the judge has to follow the letter of the law, but in a

fun mock trial, you're like, this is the kind of stuff that I've been wanting to try out in my car. Yeah, that would be. Making up some wacky stuff. He's like, you gotta work out their farm. And you gotta marry one of them. And, and. You gotta put your pants down for three months.

Yeah. And put your shoes on backwards. How about that? pants down for three months. Yeah, and put your shoes on backwards Yeah, put your under shoes on backwards. I don't usually get to say this kind of stuff So the cherry sisters returned home having made a decent one of cash over a very short period of time awards the best kind of a Mal could not agree short period of time. A what's the best kind of amount? I could not agree. Yeah, I could not agree. I'm not.

I'm not. I'm sorry, I could not agree. It's actually a decent one. Yeah, decent one. I've made an absolutely decent ward of cash. Well, how much that's at your back? Well, half a decent ward. Ugh, decent Bunsen Burner this one.

Yeah. After some thought, a couple of months later, they were back out on the road. They were sort of like, do we want to keep doing this? Oh, yeah. Well, one of the sisters, Worry, was we might get ridiculed two nights later in a new town. People were throwing cigars and socks at you, booing you and you're like, this is what I would warned you about. She's like, this is exactly what I didn't want to happen. And they had no, sounds like no real history of performing, apart from one was a musician.

Yeah, one was a painter. And then the rest, they're just like, oh, I'm not my farmer, but I'll be going. I'm usually a professional baby, but I guess I could sing a song? Professional baby. I've looked up under shoe as well. It's a covering for the foot, sturdy and then a sock, worn under the outer shoe. Why was shoes in so many parts? Guys, just figure out shoes.

You lay as a shoe's back then. Anyway, it's like a thick sock. Right. So yeah, they're back out, heading out on the road. Effulator wrote, no doubt, dear reader, you will ask why we continued in the entertainment field and we had such heavy odds to contend with. She mused in her memoir.

That's a fun sentence too. The reason she says was simple. We were alone in the world and had our own way to make. Father had left no money at his death and it was hard work sometimes to make ends meet. And when we saw the crowds we could draw and we knew we gave a very pretty and refined entertainment, why should we let them down us? So they're kinda like, well, fuck them, if they're gonna give us their money, and we can make, you know, we can support ourselves on it, well, like I don't care what they think of us. Yeah, it's like they're playing the heel in wrestling.

Yeah, yeah. Only there's no face. Face. So off they weren't performing around Iowa. In Davenport, a newspaper critic lamented their unutterably rank show. Rank is so tight. I'm a true man. That is rank.

Run utterly rank. Possibly utter how rank is the show. I love the word rank. Yeah, ranks great. So good. In Dubuque, management banned the crowd from bringing rocks greater than two inches in diameter. Okay, so freaking hell.

Guys, come on, let's not go crazy with the rock. So on the way in with security empty pockets and they get out the ruler and go, yep, yep, we try to get a small boulder in here, made piss off. Yeah, get them on out. Hope they got the chicken wire up, because that, they did.

Yeah, rock. Seriously, they will protecting it all well. Blues brother style, they did. Getting hit with a rock. Like even a two inch diameter rock. Just have funny that sentence starts with like they banned the crowd from bringing rocks greater than two inches in diameter.

Yeah, it's a bit of a bore. But like last week when David was telling us about the snookerall jewel, maybe the same thing, you get hit flush in the middle of it, had you be dead? Yeah, hit hard enough. But you know, just because you can't bring in big rocks doesn't mean you can't bring in turnips, cabbages, and other objects you could throw on to save. So they weren't measuring the cabbages?

No, you could bring any size cabbages you want. Yeah, that'd be great. So they're getting paid, they're also getting all cabbage you want. Yeah, that'd be great. So they're getting paid. They're also getting all this free food. Yeah. They're walking around on stage with a big boiling part. Yeah. Catching it.

We got soup for days. Apparently one time someone sprayed a fire extinguisher at the stage. Because they were too hot. Yeah. It's a bustling news. The fact is on fire. Take that as a compliment. They were police there and they still did that.

It's like, oh, this is from El Haig and it's a great read. It'll be listed in the show notes. So as thus emerged, the cherry sisters routine of giving a performance, seeing good ticket sales, enduring audience misbehavior, expressing outrage and returning right back to the stage. So they just kept going. So they'd give it back to the stage. So they just kept going. So they'd give it back to the crowd too.

It would be annoyed by it. I don't know, I don't think so. Well you just go on with, but that storm off is obvious now. Maybe it was like when he says expressing outrage, it might be like being frustrated behind the scenes. Yeah, right. Obviously it's not a nice thing to endure. But on stage she's seeing why my mother's grave so deep.

Little Lally. It'd be interesting because any pressure of it being good would be off. So the art would become being bad at it. So you'd sing further off-key. Yeah. I guess it'd be a fine line. You can't make it too ridiculous. Yeah, it's got to be, it's hard.

That line is actually surprisingly hard. The audience of the time, and like you were saying, was Vordable, Vordable, that kind of variety show big. It was, but it wasn't a particularly refined or cultured audience. They were often hostile and disliked women performers, especially ones who flattered traditional female roles. Very few Vordable, Vlax found success despite all of these challenges.

I should say female Vordable, but the cherry sisters were one of the lucky few. For the next three years, the sisters toured the Midwest. As word spread, other towns clamored to get tickets to see for themselves just how bad the cherry sisters were. So funny. Reviewers also tried to one up each other, just writing the worst reviews. In fact, in 1930, one up each other, just writing the worst reviews. In fact, in 1930, Time Magazine noted, in every town that the cherry sisters played, it was an invariable custom for the editor of the local paper to review their act with a column and a half of humour, satire, parity, and biting sarcasm.

So it was kind of part of the game, is that reviewers would be over the top mean about their show as well. Which I guess in turn then drums up more publicity and popularity for them. Yeah. Very strange. The Cedar Rapids Gazette, as we mentioned before, their review said they were simply awful.

At one minute the scene was like the incurable ward in a sanus isleum. The next it was like a camp meeting. Sogar, cigarettes, everything was thrown at them, yet they stood there awkwardly bowing their acknowledgments and singing on. So imagine getting a cigarette thrown at you. Whilst bowing.

Do you even notice. Because of a little lit added in your hair. If it's like a fresh one, you'd be like, sweet. Fuck you're that. I could use that as a currency in prison. That's it. You can have a plane, baby.

Put that in the old prison pocket. Prison pocket. Well, go on. That sounds like a euphemism for a vagina. I think it's your ass. The prison pocket. That's good stuff. A few years later in 1896, a man named Willie Hammerstein was managing his father, Oscar

Hammersteins, Olympia Theatre in New York City. The theater was new, but struggling, and Willie had heard of the crowds that the cherry sisters were pulling. In an interview, he said, I've been putting on the best talent and it hasn't gone over. I'm gonna try the worst. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha So the cherries hit Manhattan in November of that year and the New York Times was there

for the momentous occasion. Alright, it was a little after ten o'clock, when three length figures and one short and thick walked awkwardly to the centre of the stage. They were all dressed in shapeless red gowns made by themselves almost surely, and the fat sister carried a... a bass drum. They stood quietly for a moment, apparently seeing nothing and wondering what the jeering laughter they heard could mean. The fat sister. I know so much of it is just so unnecessary. In their Manhattan debut, Jesse performed a solo rendition of the song Corn Juice. Corn Juice has delicious, has corn juice.

Delicious, has corn juice for rhyme, corn juice. The twist at the end is that they're Conjuus. Oh, hit in the face with the lip cigarette. I critic wrote about Conjuus, a sentimental song that convulsed the audience. Yeah, I could say that up and in. Conjuus. Conjuus. Well, it was probably a delicacy of the time?

Corn juice! Howdy a juice cord. Push it up. What? I'd have called it corn milk. Oh, yuck. Addy and Lizzie crooned an Irish ballad and Addy read The Mystery of the 19th Century and essay she wrote.

Oh, that's fun. I like going out and seeing an essay read. Yeah. By an amateur writer. There was also a sung quartet and a critic wrote a sad piece, but not as the cherries did it. The audience roared. I loved them doing a sad song. That's so, very confusing. The act climaxed with one of the sister's signature entertainments, a short play called the Gypsies Warning in which which every player to suit sail who warns the innocent maiden, played

by Lizzie, of the evil intentions of a crude and most stash-yod suitor, played by Ad.

The skips opening line, Lady in that green grave yonder lies the Gypsy's only child, became a popular punchline.

How? How is that a punchline? I don't know, it's so long. Say it again. Lady, in that green grave yonder lies the gypsies only child. Yeah, that sounds real sad. No, Matt, it's a very popular punchline. Oh, now I get it.

Baffling. It's just that this, this, this skip they end on, it's like people are coming to the show like, do it! Do it the line! Oh, that's their big closer. Yeah. Did you and they're going on, no, yeah! Do it, yeah, do the tips this morning!

She said the thing. The Times concluded their review by referring to the sisters as four freaks from Iowa and four wretched women. And that it is sincerely to be hoped that nothing like them will ever be seen again. I should have mentioned earlier, much earlier probably, that one of the sisters, Ella, I think, she stopped performing with them.

Yeah, because there was more than four and something. Yeah, there's five of them. After the first few shows, she was like, yeah, I'm just gonna stay at the fire. My self-esteem is not up for the fire. Yeah, I kinda wanna do this. But there's still a lot of fun. It's so funny that the review didn't cotton on.

It's like, you haven't read any other reviews like this is kind of what it is now. So you should be, there should be some sort of a change in a shift in how you're in the review something like seeing it not as bad as I hoped one star. Yeah. Or like you're like beautifully awful or whatever you know. They've decided not to change they're not still going out there going we'll kill again with this. Yeah they're aware of the reviews they're getting of their audience reactions and they're still doing it. It feels like that review, but I guess like now they'd said be more talk of it between

the towns probably, but you'd think now they'd be like everyone was going to see this famously awful show and it did not disappoint. It was terrible. Yeah, exactly. But again, maybe it's sort of like, what we were saying before about the review is trying to kind of one up each other with their terrible mean reviews.

So I think they're like, they're trying to be dicks about it or something. I don't know, it's hard to know. It is rank beyond words. Ha ha ha. Un, un, un, what was an un usherably rank? It's fucked. Apparently fresh produce was said to be scarce in New York City because of the demand

for projectiles. Wow. People like rocking up with like full backpack. They're ready to go, yeah. New York was already a pretty big city, but then I'm guessing. Is the Hammersmith, did that go on to be a famous theater? Hammerstein. Hammerstein.

It's not there anymore, but I believe this one, or maybe it was another one that he built shortly afterwards, is like where time square is now. Right. Oh, cool. Because I was right in the heart of Old New York. So even with all those reviews and fresh produce being just sold out everywhere, the show ran for six weeks, drawing in big crowds,

and saving the theater from bankruptcy by the 12th day. Wow. So in under two weeks, they've saved this theater from... And it's only the theater only opened the year before. It was a new theater, it was struggling, he was probably going to go bankrupt under two weeks of having the sisters performing, he's in the clear. That's ridiculous. That's amazing. Before that he just had, like he said, world-class talent. Yeah, he'd been booking the best. That's the massive hit show. Yeah, it's a huge. They're like they're running for six weeks in New York selling out. What year did you say this was? I was saying in 88 or just after. This was 1886. 1896, sorry. So in 1890, there was already, yeah, pushing up towards three million people in New York City

So I was already it was a big place Town yeah, and they sold out of fresh produce in a city of three million people. Yeah, how much produce they were bringing into Julie too much they're bringing enough like what how big is the theater a couple of thousand or something like you think the first few shows People would just be like all right. What have I got on me to throw? Yes, you know and for me, yeah. Jacket. Top hat. Half a pumpkin.

Why? That on you. I take it everywhere I go. I take it. I put cigarettes in my prison pocket. My pumpkin is my best friend. My gang hungry. All lonely.

You know, fuck them home. You better believe me. them home. After New York the cherry sisters began what the New York Times called a triumphant tour of the United States and Canada that lasted for several years. They must be are they making serious coin for themselves? Yeah they're doing very well. Oh thank goodness Nathan's like God I wish I could be part of the shit show. Yeah. That needs rocking up backstage. Hey! Hi! I'm the Sari Appears.

You guys need a manager? They said... I'm also a terrible actor. I can suck. So yeah, they're on the road for several years, but they still have their disputes with critics along the way, of course. In Oat Bolt in 1898, the editor of the local paper wrote, their long skinny arms equipped with talons at the extremities swung mechanically and soon were

waved frantically at the suffering audience. Their mouths opened like caverns and sounds like the wailing of the damned soul. He accidentally went to the sloth enclosure at the zoo. He accidentally went to the slothing closure at the zoo. But he's been in horror movie. Sounds like he's gone accidentally seeing some howler monkeys. Would their mouths open like caverns? Oh, he's eating some really strong cheese before bed. Yeah, that's a nightmare. Sounds like wailing of damn souls issued there from...

Not a lot of that one actually has anything to do with the show and feel super sexist. So the sisters sued the paper for defamation as well as another paper. You don't have talons? Yeah, I reckon you'd be able to prove that pretty quick. Well, they had them on the night though, they've gotten rid of them since. They've trimmed their talons. They trimmed their talons.

Yeah, they suit the paper and another one in Demoan. Demoan, Iaw, where Bill Bryson's from. Ah, first book said or his first book about America said, I come from Demoan, Iaw, someone has to. Amazing. God, he was so better so early. Yeah,, paper and demine had reprinted the review as well. So they sued both papers. In a landmark case, the Iowa Supreme Court eventually ruled in favor of a newspaper's right to freely criticize public performances, stating the editor of a newspaper has the right,

if not the duty of publishing for the information of the public, fair and reasonable comments. That's right, it's their duty to warn people of your talent. Yeah, and when you open your mouth, it's like the souls of a damned. That was a typo, we said you've got long arms, we're talented at the end. Your fingers are very talented. Yeah, and it goes on to say surely, if one makes himself ridiculous in his public performances, he may be ridiculed by those whose duty all right it is to inform the public regarding the character of the performance.

Apparently, this case is still frequently held up as a precedent and contemporary court cases. Wow. Yeah, that's interesting. It's very interesting. Yeah. So. Can I just listen to these Bill Bryson books.

There was one, uh, anecdote he told, and when I was listening last night, about how funny English people are, and if this long run up, it was paragraph long, about how the trains weren't running and stuff. And then he got on this train, and it hadn't gone.

It was just sitting there, and he was the only one on there and this guy with a big bushy beard. So bushy could fill a mattress, he said. Oh. And then he goes and I asked him out. I said, how long have you been waiting here for? And the guy goes, well, put it this way. When I got here, I was clean, shaven.

And then he goes, I like that very much. LAUGHTER clean shaven and he goes I like that very much. That was it, like English people are so funny. Check out this long story. Well, punch on those over the pile. Yeah, which ends in a very funny way. I mean, nothing to nothing, I'm not having to go out there as beaded man. It's a funny little quip on the cranes. It's a sense of quip on the train. It's answered the question. How long? 10 minutes? Longer?

But he said it was a decade. He's got this memory. He's carried it around with him for a decade or so. I think ultimately what you're remembering there Bill is just a nice human moment. Yeah. You and that guy had a little laugh. It wasn't particularly funny, not probably worth retelling verbatim, but it was a nice moment of connection. And he was talking, he's like, you know, they just wouldn't understand that kind of irony in America. Oh, I really?

Or he might have even said anywhere else in the world. Another example he gave was buying a ticket for the bus, and he said, and I said, how much is that? He said, can I get a receipt? And the guy goes, well, the ticket's free, but it's $18.50 for the receipt. And it goes, if they said that America, they would be confused.

So he's not like, he's kind of, what he's wrong firstly. But also, does he think he's above all Americans because he does get it? I'm not sure, but I'm like, America's got a fair history of comedy as well. I know England does as well, but I think both countries get jokes. Yeah, yeah.

I mean, I don't know. I haven't spent that much time in either, so maybe not, but. It's so funny. I gotta say that anywhere else. Yeah, like would not get it. I would not get it. Any other country in the world

would not get that kind of level of calm. Would not have a career. Maybe, I mean, this was from the mid 90s. Maybe we wouldn't have got it back there and maybe Americans have only just caught onto somebody. Yeah. They did.

Yeah, anyway, whatever. I'm still listening. I'm still enjoying it, but there's so much of it. I'm like, Bill. No. Why are you still listening to hate listen now. No, I thought I fall asleep to it every night The guy reading in his voice is so irritating. Oh, he's got a he's very talented the voice actor I can very talented how so well, you can he does a lot of accents some of there was one recently there was a questionable accent Some of there was one recently that was a questionable accent,

but mainly like American and English accents. He does quite well. But what you don't know is he's dressed up in costumes of them. Oh, yeah, he's doing a little plain and sound proof. Oh, mate. It's just audio, stop it. You don't have to do a costume change. I can't do the voice without the costume. Or refuse.

Hello, Squire. Hello. Took me 30 minutes to get ready for that line. No, I got a big hat on. Okay, so I'm wearing a big fake beard. I was about to this way. Sorry to wear regular listeners who have over the last few weeks had to start hearing me talk about Bill Bryson a lot.

I love it. I don't really hate it. After a few more years of touring and making great money for themselves, by the turn of the century, the taste of theater goers was changing. Theater goers. People didn't want Vortilovale shows anymore. And they weren't being offered the sisters,

weren't being offered theaters in big cities to big audiences anymore. While they were doing shows in Hot Springs, Arkansas in 1903, Jessie, the baby of the family, became quite ill. She'd contracted malaria and typhoid and passed away at the age of 33. Effulator wrote, all the joy of our life was gone with the death of our little sister, for she was one of God's most perfect flowers. Was she the baby? Yeah, Jessie was the youngest.

Without Jessie the remaining sister. I don't know, I mean it's equally sad for any of them to die. Not the baby. Not the little one. It was a picturing a real big baby. Yeah. 33, I know a guy who, God is 33. Not Bill Brarson.

Oh, another bearded man. But he rose again, much like Bill Bryson. Bill Bryson, as written, the books are really, like it is joyous to hear everything. Is it? How does he bring him up? I just talked about one of them dying. He's like, the thing about Bill Bryson.

He saved it at that time. Dying, that's something that Bill Bryson hopefully won't happen. He actually said it in the fucking... That was you, that's what you have to do. He said he's gonna live forever. He did say that. That's a funny thing.

Love you, Bill. Look at the coming one day Matt's gonna have like a Bill Bryson T-shirt on. And it's just gonna slowly, he's gonna morph into Bill Bryson and then he's just gonna hand us a pamphlet one time to join a Bill Bryson cult. Yeah you wanna join the whole thing? It's a good way to Bill.

Oh, our Lord and Saviour. So with the hot Jessie, the one that are done. Is it Three now? Yeah, they're done. On the tour, or? Through, two, yeah, yep. Oh, maybe they can get the fifth sister back? No, they decided to stop performing

and they returned home. So if they had made really good money in their heyday, up to $600 a week, the equivalent of more than 17 grand in today's money. Oh, wait! That's like, you know, in their peak, I'm sure it's fluctuated, but, you know. Yeah, especially the New York run.

Yeah, six weeks of that, they're making really good cash. And did they put any aside? Yeah, yeah, so with their savings, the sisters opened a bakery and see the rapids, specializing in cherry pies. Oh, right. Love that.

Warrant saying a song about that later on. Is that too old or something for you guys? It was before you were born. Oh, right. Love that. Warren's saying a song about that later on. Is that too old of a song for you guys? It was before you were born. Anyway, is that Cheespa, Cheespa. Oh, yeah, yeah. Who was it? Warren. Warren.

One hit wonder. Oh, but I know from a 90s movie, I think. Koby Wayne's World. Anyway. Yeah, the very Wayne's World, he sort of said. Yeah. How I'm loving some of the city names in this story. Cedar Rapids, right?

So there's a movie, I think called Cedar Rapids. Yeah, I thought the comedy movie, maybe with Will. Will. Guy used to be on set in our love. Ferrell. Oh, no, maybe not Will then. He's the last man on Earth, I think he's in it. Will on it.

No, will on it. How many funny wills are there? He's in last man minute, isn't he? Oh, it could be. Who's the main guy though? Doesn't matter. Yeah. And the other hot springs.

Oh, no, we learned it. Hot springs sounds cool as well. Hot springs, yeah. Hot springs are conceivable. Yeah, so many are. That is fun. I want to go there. Fuck, now who am I thinking of?

Doesn't matter. We'll forte. We'll forte, thank you. So yeah, they had their bakery. They lived in Cedar Rapids in a house decorated with a, like they had their family code of arm, so they had souvenirs from their theatre career and a large portrait of Jesse. It sounds like they fucking nailed it. Yeah, they did pretty well.

Absolutely, they got in, made a living, like sort of themselves out for the rest of their life, set themselves up at the bank. Having a bakery in Cedar Rapids just makes me feel happy. Yeah, sounds like, isn't it? Amazing. Yeah. If he struggled a little bit with her now relative anonymity, and she said she decided to run for mayor of Cedar Rapids.

Oh, I do say. I do say Miss Mayer. This is some of her initiatives. Have a think about if you would vote for her as mayor. OK. 9 p.m. winter curfew for adults. No. Closing public parks to eliminate them

as tristing spots for the young. All right, I'm on board. Requiring swimmers to use more modest bathing suits. And the outlawing of profanity on the street. That makes fucking sense. Hahaha. What, what? No, what, what?

I don't like, I don't like any of those things I don't think. You do love a skimpy bathing suit, don't you? You do love banging in a park. Well, I like the, I think anyone should be able to skimpe out if they want. And talking about back in these days, skimpe would have meant showing you angles. Angles, yeah. She's like, I want full on skimpe out if they want. And talking about back in these days, skimpe would have meant, Shania, ankles. Yeah. She's like, I want full-on scumsuits. I'm drowning under the weight of these borscht. I want you to wear oversawks in the water. He was not in that

film anyway. After all that, there's not a single will in the film. Ed Helms, John C. Riley, of the big two, Sigourney Weaver. Oh my God. Anne Hesh? Ah. Isaiah Whitlock, Jr. Hmm. There you go. Fun facts. That's all good fun.

So yeah, she's run for mayor and she received 8% of the votes cast. Okay. Two years later, she repeated her campaign and snagged less than 5% of the votes. Less than 5%? That half of last time. But if there was like hundreds of candidates, is that enough to win?

Yeah, no. They did perform a few more times over the years, although with their advancing age, audiences no longer threw vegetables at them. Oh. And the older ladies are like, they're throwing a throw-shit at that. Like a mushy peed. You chew them down.

Soups. Throwing ladles of soup down. It's really fucking flaky. I got a whole big pot of it. I could go all day, ladies. I got like 80 90 ladles here. That's fun. That's fun. In a real display of Dua da 180, after one appearance in Cedar Rapids, the city's paper,

which was not very kind to them many years before, called them Distinguished Local Artists. Oh, that's nice. That's nice. They had a brief renaissance in 1934 touring New York, Chicago, and Minneapolis, and a couple of other places as well. And El Haya said they had hardly changed their act at all and their costumes now qualified as antiques.

They just kept everything the same. They didn't have that drive to like, right new. They just like, that, that, that. What are the classics? Let's keep what works. But that kind of, I mean, that sounds kind of fun. That, like, it's all original stuff for the true fans. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, great. Yeah, and yeah, they became sort of popular again. So they did a few more shows. But all good things must come to an end. No. Can't be a surprise for people that were alive in the late 80s. No, tell me, no. Ella passed away in 1934 and Lizzie in 1936.

Effie, she was on an Effie and Adi, were left and Effie spent her time writing a play and short novels that bore such titles as The Blacksmith's daughter and nobody's child. They were all fairy tales in which poor and beautiful young women often described as barefoot and pure of soul, survived abandonment and the petty envy of others before finding a real home and true love. Which is very nice.

Addy passed away in 1942 and Fee in 1944. Still to this day, the true motivations of the cherries remains a mystery. I mean, I've done this whole report very much with the tone of like they were in on it, but some people kind of wonder if they intentionally put on horrible performances simply for the money, well aware of their lack of talent, or did they actually think they were good at what they did and the negative

reviews were unwarranted. Some have argued that they wouldn't have gone to the effort to sue different people if they weren't taking themselves seriously, but others say that they absolutely knew what they were doing and were in on at the whole time. Yeah, that could just be seen as extra publicity. Yeah, exactly. They did the full fake courtroom thing. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that sounds like be seen as extra publicity. Yeah, exactly. I do the full fake courtroom thing. Yeah.

Yeah. That sounds like they were in on it. Yeah. That was after their second show. Yeah. A reporter for the Des Moines Register wrote, either the cherry sisters are completely sincere and take themselves seriously,

or they are the most accomplished actresses the world has ever known. OK, so they were probably believed in themselves. And I choose. According to them. I choose to believe the latter. They are the most accomplished actresses the world has ever known. And they took the secret to their grave.

Yeah. Oh, that was a fun story. Yeah. The saddest part of it was the last sister died in 1944 when Fitzroy won their last pre-missive. She went to a grave thinking Fitzroy are going to be a power forever and now they don't really even exist as a team anymore. No, make you think. Doesn't it make you think? Doesn't it?

Ah, bloody hell, doesn't that make it? If that doesn't make you think it was something wrong with you, that's what I always say. I'd have a brain check if I was you. But yeah, that is my report on the Cherry Sisters. Oh, fantastic. I'm not sure what to call the episode. Cherry Sisters, the worst act of all time. Don't know.

Ah, yeah. Something like that's pretty fun. I like to hope that they're in on it. Yeah, I think it makes it more fun to laugh at. That was a great, great fun. I mean, when you said blackface, I thought this was gonna take a... I didn't have to mention it.

It's probably good that I did. Anyway. Different time. Oh, yes, 1800s. I still, it'ss. Okay but yeah. Great report Jess. I love when people suggested topic like that thanks so much to Sophie and then one of us has a report on it. I had never heard of them. I'm likely to have gone through my entire life with that ever hearing about the cherry sisters. So yeah. Great

report, great suggestion. Don't forget, you can always suggest a topic by going to our website dogoonpod.com and anyone can suggest a topic. And, yeah, if you know any sort of obscure stories, even it might be from your country where it's only known in your part of the world, we'd love to hear about it. Yeah, and yeah, there, I mean, they're often the best ones. So, so many of the ones we do have been suggested by dozens of people, but the ones, often the best ones. So, so many of the ones we do have been suggested by dozens of people, but the ones, often the great ones are only suggested by a solo Sophie, for instance, today.

And yeah, I think they're great because they're the kind of stories you just never would, or I mean, we wouldn't, I'm guessing in a lie where they're very well known. Ah, they're still huge. They're still huge. I bet one Bill Bryson knows that story well So one has to

Fuck you love Bill Bryson You got a funny relationship through a love-hate relationship most I love So that brings us everyone's favorite section of the show Which is where we get to start thanking some of our great Patreon supporters, who support us via patreon.com.com. Or do go on pod.com. And there's all sorts of levels you can support different prices depending on what you want to do. And depending on the level, you get different rewards. Like right at the lower one, you get to at least vote

on topics. So at the moment, they're my topics. So I think my next one next week will have been voted on by them. Oh, pretty much everyone. And then you've got bonus episodes and a Facebook group exclusive to the supporters and newsletter. And pre-sales for shows we do. Yeah, you get pre-sales usually get discounts. We forgot to do that on one recent show, but we regret it and we'll fix that next time. Yeah, I have some of the favourite of that blender. They put it up without a discount.

People had already bought tickets and then we filled Guilt. We can't put a discount on now. Because then the people who bought the first tickets won't get the dissonance unfair. Really through day, one of the bus two. Yeah, that was it, because it was his fault. But all those people who bought the first tickets won't get the dissonance unfair really through Dave under the bus to yeah yeah because it was his fault but all those people who attend that show will will be there with a few dole a couple of come up to

me and come up to Dave and he'll give you a few coins back yeah that's what I carry a lot of coins in his prison pocket give me a second I've got a two to a lot here somewhere is that I I didn't get it at first, but that is that a real term? Yeah, you know, prison pocket. I've never heard of prison pocket as you putt. Smuggles you didn't. Well, not shit other stuff. Yeah, the shit you don't put it in there. But one of the things of all the rewards.

You do it at wrong if you put it in the shit. What a shit packing. Don't do that. Oh, I read it. I read it anyway. There's a, just in case it's a topic one day, but there was one story I read looking at topics recently,

where a woman was putting, anyway. So, um, Oh, pitiful. Little sizzling. I don't think I want to hear that topic, too. No, I read it through it. I'm like, I won't put that one up for the vote. I'm going to delete that one from the hat.

So, um, so what are the big rewards you can get by supporting us on the Sydney Shahnberg level is the fact, quote, or question section of the show. That's a little jingle. It goes like this. Fact, quote quote a question. I'm doing it like the terraces. He's got hit in the face with a bit of cabbage. Oh, I know.

He always remembers the cabbage. And you get to give us a factor quote or a question. And you also get to give yourself a title. This week, just looking ahead, we got three facts in a quote. So here we go. The first one comes from Jamie Griffiths, who's given himself the title of president of the Perth Dugoan fan club.

prestigious title, you're holding there, Jamie. Self appointed too, which is very weird. Well, I can only assume there was a vote. Oh, yeah. And we just weren't notified. I mean, why would we have been? Yeah, you're right. It's not our business.

So Jamie is offered us a fact, and that is, did you know, I reckon Dave might know this. Okay. I mean, do you know, Michael Cain's real name is Maurice Joseph Mikkelwhite Jr. And you assumed I wouldn't know that. Unfuckin' believable. You don't feel your brain with.

Mush, only important information in this noggin. I was a Maurice or Morris. I'll confess that I did not know that. I did not know that. I knew it was Maurice. I couldn't, I don't, I wouldn't remember the rest. What's the full title again? It's a beauty.

It's a beauty. Maurice or Maurice or I can't? Maurice? Joseph, Michael White Jr.'s a beauty. Marice or Marice? Marice? Joseph, Michael White, Jr. What a classic. Michael White is fun. Marice White. MJ MJ.

Yeah, that's good. My name is Marice. Michael White, something. Jonah. Great fact, thanks, Jamie Griffiths. The next part comes from Tessa Chilcott, who's given herself the title of assistant to the undersecretary

of the secretary of secretaries. Ooh, an important job. And Tessa has offered us a fact which reads, Victoria's first act on becoming queen was to ask for an hour alone. I love that. That's so good. I've got to text him may time. 18-year-old Victoria had been raised under the strict Kensington system,

which kept her sheltered, isolated and controlled. She was accompanied everywhere by Govineses and slept in the same room as her mother until the day she became queen. It's called in a historypress.uk. Oh, she already married. Or a historypress.uk. I'm not sure.

No, no, she was, wasn't she? She was very young. She was 18 in Africa with that's Queen Elizabeth. Second is this Victoria. Yes. Oh, yeah. I was like, no, I'm sure I'm sure I saw the crown. She was in Africa. She was. Yeah, I think they take the crown back. I don't know, they're not gonna do me another, they're doing one more season, so I love them to reboot it. Bit of Victoria.

Yeah, I know there are already seasons about this, so that's a cool fact, she'd never been alone and she went, you know what's amazing. Now I'm the top job I can, everyone will do what I say. I'd like to be alone for an hour. It's a great use of it. And Tesla writes, can't blame her for an hour alone. She was 18 when she became queen, for an hour. It's a great use of it. And Tessa writes, can't blame her for an hour alone.

She was 18 when she became queen, not an hour alone until she was 18. Wow, I imagine that she must have done the most horrific part. So is it. She had hold it in that hold. Oh my god. Oh my god. Just really let her rip.

Which makes more sense based on Tessa's emoji that she used there. That's definitely how I'm holding it off of. Yeah, yeah. Two vomiting faces. We're holding it a moment. Thank you so much for that great. Facteser. Next one comes from Vincenzo Giovanni Bonadon. I always look forward to that name. And Vincenzo's title is The Mandela Man, because I enjoy making them. Check out my insta at Vinnie's underscore mandalas. What's a mandala?

I don't know how to explain it. It's like a very intricate sort of... I love how we worked a plug into his title. Yeah, very good. Really good stuff. I don't know what it is either. I know what they are. I just don't know how to describe them.

Can you give us a broad thing? Is it a sound? Like an insect drawing kind of thing. Oh, okay, good job. So Vinny's, or Vincienzo's quote, is, I hate it when people say I'm lollygaggin when I'm clearly dilly-dallying. Oh, that's a good quote. Oh, they're there fun. That's fun and fun illustrations. He said, I saw this as a tweet, very funny stuff.

That is good. Now I'm on the great man's Instagram. And that's not a good review. Sorry, it's asking me to log in. I can't remember my password. That's what's happening over here. Really good stuff. Really intricate.

Yeah. Great work, because I wasn't sure what a man dollar was so you've got it me Yeah, I thought I might have a Nelson related, but that's a different kind of no, these are really great Good stuff all right. Cheers Finchenza and finally from Derek Brigham who has given himself the title of ambassador to all the dogs Oh, that's a big important important job. Oh, love them. Derek has offered us a fact, which is, in popular culture, the term going critical is often used in a sense of things going wrong.

However, this is not the case in regards to nuclear reactors, nuclear. What's that that right? People used to always make fun of George W. Bush for how he said it. And I'm like, yeah, it's always funny isn't it? How he said it? Because now I think of that. Because he might have said nuclear. Nuclear. Nuclear. Right. So nuclear is all right or nuclear? Nuclear? Nuclear?

Oh, nuclear. Nuclear. But he said nuclear. Right. Yeah. Okay, great. I mean, Homer also says that to nuclear. It's pronounced nuclear. Anyway, sorry, Derek, to get side track there. Critically, critically is reached when the nuclear reaction is self-sustaining. So in other words, going critical is turning the thing on. self-sustaining. So in other words, going critical is turning the thing on. It's when the reactor goes super critical that you're in trouble, which we probably heard about in our previous report. Yeah, I think I tried to explain how those reactions work. Maybe I didn't do a good job. Well, it certainly didn't stick in my head. But that, I think that makes, I think Derek is really good.

Yeah, it's when the chain reaction gets out of control and he can't slow it down. Yeah, that's right. Awesome, cheers Derek, that was maybe on the one where the guy kept it open with a screwdriver. Yes, the demon core. Demon core. And then also a bit on the Chernobyl episode too. Well, that brings us to the time

where we thank a few of our other great supporters. Just on the comes up with a little game, with something to do with the episode topic. Could we name the Waterville show? Something good, something sad. Okay, fantastic, lava. Yeah, I think that's a... Or they're incredibly long song title.

Yeah, yeah, I reckon that's fun, incredibly long song title is great. We can do it, we can do like one word each. All right, looking forward to it. Oh, was that noise? No, I'm excited. I think Jess has gone super critical. Okay, so if I may kick us off,
