It's a matter of the people of the state of California versus Hortonthal James Simpson, case number B.A.019.
And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you.
Ask what you can do for your country.
Hey, Taylor.
Hi, how are you?
I'm very awake and lively.
Perfect.
How are you?
Good. I lost an AirPod.
Doesn't that stink?
That means, so can you use the other AirPods or do they need to be a pair?
I can use the other one.
Okay, you're good.
I need two.
I know, I know.
I have, I use Jabras.
In Jabras, I actually only put one in.
I put the right one in because that's the one that has all the controls on it.
And you can't really use the left one unless you have the right one in.
And so I've lost the right one on two of them and they're useless at that point.
Have you found Taylor's AirPods?
location found have you um can you make that stuff on both of them like well no i just want to
like hear what's going on around me no no i know i only i only wear one too but i but i need them
both because i wear one and then it dies and i put it on a shelf and then i walk away and then
i get the other one until it dies and then i have this problem where i can't find either of them
uh yeah i don't have that i only can use the right one if i just put the left one and nothing
happens i think i can i actually this is so stupid but nobody nobody
cares. But I have extra ones that I can switch out. I might do them. Anyway, hello. Welcome to
doomed to fail. Taylor, joined by Fars. We're the podcast that brings you history's most notorious
disasters and epic failures twice a week, every week. And shoot, my backup AirPods. No, I have two left
AirPods. This is what being doomed to fail means. God damn it.
hopefully you'll get over it i might i might but i might never get over it
um so taylor i think you are our first presenter for today i am i believe i am as well um
cool are you ready i'm ready all right let's do it um this is a suggestion from our friend nadine
she saw this on facebook and she shared it with me and it actually is something that
similar to another thing that I wanted to do based on a book that came out this week.
So I'm going to do a little bit of a series now because the book that came out this week,
I just got from Audible and listening to it, and then I'll do that story next week.
And then today I'm going to do this story, and I'm going to do a little mini-series on fairy tales.
And so today I'm going to talk about the author of,
start naming fairy tales and you tell me when you know who it is sure the emperor's new
clothes no clue the little mermaid did you know any do you know any fairy tale authors the princess
of the bee yeah would you ever guess one you know better than you know better than this
dozens of people are yelling across america um dozens it's uh it's hans christian
anderson yeah those is going to be a guess eventually
Cool. Well, that's, he's the one that we're going to talk about today.
I watched some YouTube videos and spent a lot of time on Wikipedia, but one of the YouTube videos is called The Life of Disaster, Bisexual Hans Christian Anderson.
So he's a lot. He's a lot going on.
I can imagine. Anybody who's like really, like an adult and really good at like kids stuff, like has to have some weird stuff going on.
I think that's fair. Yeah.
Um, so his life was a mess of unrequited love and other sort of little oddities.
He's the kind of person who, you know, had a crush on everyone and was like, I'm going to marry that person, you know, but like never married anyone, just like a perpetual crush guy.
Yeah, I've known those people.
Um, he was born on April 2nd, 1805 in Odense, Denmark. I think Odense is one of those words where the O has a line through it.
some definitely pronounce like wrong.
Yeah, no, the um, it's two dots.
Um, it's a line who, oh, I don't know what that is, but, yeah, yeah.
But anyway, he was born in Denmark. Um, right away in his family, there's this, like,
idea of, like, storytelling to make yourself feel better. His dad was a shoemaker and his mom was a
washerwoman. So they were, they were like lower class. And, um, in his dad's family,
they would almost talk about how they came from a higher class and that like,
they're really from nobility, even though they're not, but it would make themselves feel better.
like maybe we are a little bit higher class than like we seem to be. But Hans, he went to school
when he was young, basically like elementary education or so. And when his father passed away,
he was 11 and his mom remarried. And he was in school and they discovered that he had a really
nice voice, like a really nice high voice that you have when you are a young man. So they sent him
to Copenhagen and he joined the Royal Theater when he was 14.
but guess what happened
he joined a circus
no his voice changed
so they kicked him out
to this point it does sound
like some sort of a Disney story
you know like
it could the arc could go
one direction or the other
some of it's like I don't know
is it true I'm not sure
yeah you know
so it sounds like
for most of his life he was like
you know he would sell stories
or he would get paid by like benefactors
people would help him
So we could travel around and write.
He published a bunch of books, a bunch of different stories.
He's also published from travel books, like travel guides, different parts of Europe that people really enjoyed.
And let's pause and just talk about some of his stories, like some of the more famous ones.
And if you think about like the things that he was feeling when he wrote these stories, he was very lonely and hurt by the people around him.
And they probably didn't mean to hurt him.
You know, it's kind of like he had this idea in his head that he was.
was in these like really intense relationships that he wasn't in so he would be heard what year was
this young he was born 1805 so he starts writing in like around like 1830 yeah um so like you
say he wrote the little mermaid um do you know what happens in the where is it a little mermaid
the story do it happens in the movie have you seen the little bit of course yeah yeah what happens in
the little mermaid so she gives up her voice to have legs to be with prince eric
that isn't it yeah um and then i don't know how the rest of it goes
yeah they end up getting they end up falling in love and they get together there's like a monster
and they get in a fight ursula right yeah yeah and so she becomes she becomes a human and they
live happily ever after um and but in the story the little mermaid trades her voice to become
a human just the same as as before um but the prince does marry someone else
And so she's doomed to die.
It was like, if you don't get him to marry, you will die.
And she has the option to kill the prince to become a mermaid again, but she refuses
because she loves him.
So she dissolves into sea foam and kind of disappears.
That's a worse story.
Yeah.
So it's, you know, the idea is that like someone wants something so badly and then they don't get it.
And then they die as a consequence.
It's also the snow.
like an yore he sounds like a sad sack yore you know that's very very very spot on thank you i think
he wrote the snow queen which like frozen is kind of based on but like really not really frozen's
kind of its own thing um but um it's about um someone who is on a journey and they meet a snow queen
and then it's like trials and tribulations and they end up melting her heart um and and saving their
friend. So sort of like a heroic story. He obviously wrote the ugly duckling. Like we all know
what that is about. But like he probably saw himself as an ugly duckling. And like just if I find
the right place and the right people, I'll fit in. You know, he never really was going to do that.
Another one is the emperor's new clothes where people, the emperor is getting clothes, but they're not
real. Have you read that one? Yeah. We started that recently. Another one is the red shoes.
but I know I've seen like an old movie of it.
It's about a girl who gets red ballet slippers and she's obsessed with them.
And then she has, but they won't stop dancing.
So her feet won't stop dancing.
At the end, she has to have her feet amputated.
So I remember something in like Looney Tunes era about that.
I mean, no amputations, but about like.
Yeah, I feel like I remember that too.
I can like picture it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So he, you know,
he wrote fairy tales that are about, you know, finding redemption.
Sometimes you do.
Sometimes you don't.
Some of them have kind of a more like a kind of a harsher ending than the Disney ones.
But, you know, those are some of his most famous ones.
But he wrote thousands of things.
He also was writing a journal and letters to his friends that a lot of people saved and have.
So it paints a picture of a really chaotic man.
And I'm going to tell you a little bit about other things that happened to him besides the writing.
So he was definitely attracted to both men and women.
And, like, now you might say he was by or pan, but, like, he didn't know those labels.
So we can't label him.
He just, like, was attracted to everyone, pretty much.
So he was bi.
We can label him.
He was by.
Well, no, because Pan has been something different.
There's a lot of things.
Wait, what's Pan mean?
Pan is, like, everyone, regardless of what they identify as.
Because it's not just two genders, you know.
Okay.
it could get complicated it doesn't matter he's attracted to both men and women it probably was attracted to
everyone you know um some people think that he never had sex with anyone um that he just kind of like
had these like little like things he like just like have these like love intense love feelings
but never actually did anything physical some people think he did i don't know um it's like
do you ever like listen to a podcast or something and like the one that it brings up for me is the leopold
and Loeb one with in last podcast what they talk about one of them just had all those like
fantasies about like being a king remember that I don't it's just like why why would anyone
know that you know I guess he like wrote down his sexual fantasies and his journals and that's how
we know but that's how we know what I'm confusing the two what does it do with Leopold and Loeb
just like why would we know that person's fantasies unless he told someone you know so like it
It sounds like Hans Christian Anderson was telling his fantasies to people as well, you know?
I don't know.
Don't we all assume Abraham Lincoln was gay?
I doubt he wrote any of that down.
I think we just make assumptions on people.
Or when somebody back in the day had like a roommate who was a man, you just.
Yes.
Nobody's writing that down and nobody's documenting it.
But he is, is what I'm saying.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, yeah.
But Hans Christian Anderson is writing all this down.
Well, I guess he's a writer.
That's right.
So that's how we know about it.
After he went to school, he lived with a family called the Collins family, and they had a son named Edward, Edward with a V instead of a W.
And it's Edward Collins is an almost impossible name to Google, because it's so close to Edward Cullen from Twilight.
I can't even like think it in my head.
It's like a tongue twister.
I don't even know.
But while he lived with a family, he was obsessed with Edward.
He would write him love letters.
he would leave roses under his pillows.
Edward wrote in his own memoir, quote,
I found myself unable to respond to this love,
and this caused the author much suffering.
So, like, he was obsessed with him while he lived with him.
Eventually, Edward got engaged and Hans was pissed.
He wrote to the woman, Henrietta, and asked her to call off the engagement.
He was like, because he was in his mind,
he was him and Edward were in a relationship, you know?
And Edward was like, we're just friends, dude.
Like, you got to calm down.
Then Hans was like, I thought we had something.
Like, I thought that you and I had something together.
Edward was like, absolutely not.
Like, I'm getting married.
So he got married to Henrietta.
And while he was getting married, like during that time,
that's when Hans wrote The Little Mermaid.
And it's about him.
He is a little mermaid.
It's about him trying to fit into this life with Edward and be with him
and getting rejected and dying of sadness.
So were they actually in a relationship or he just thought they were in.
Okay. He just thought that they were. He just, like, assumed that like, you know, if I tell you, I give you all these nice things and write you all these nice letters, like, we're in a relationship, you know? And I was like, we're definitely not. I'm marrying a woman, like right now. So he, um, so like as like a wedding present, he mailed the little mermaid to him and was like, these are my feelings. Also, if I'm him, like, hey, thanks, man, for writing my fiancee. For real.
Making it seem like, I'm going to have gay relationship with you.
Like, thank you.
That really helps me a lot.
Totally.
So, I mean, and even during that time, he also thought that he was in love with the sister of a Collins house, Louise.
At one point, he proposed to a woman named Jenny Lind, who was a famous singer.
And he was, like, super nervous to propose to her.
So he wrote her a letter.
And she wrote back and she was like, dude, I think of you like a brother.
Like, why would you propose to me?
There's nothing.
We haven't had any of this, you know?
Isn't this like the entire reason why we started doing this podcast
because of relationships that were doomed to fail
because like the person was just picking badly and like,
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
This is a really appropriate episode then.
Thank you.
Well, I feel like anyone who got involved with him,
like that was the doomed part.
Like they didn't, some of them didn't even mean to, you know?
Yeah.
It's like it's him.
So he's so after Jenny Lynn, you know,
turned on his proposal.
He based the heartless woman and the snow queen on her, which is like, come on, that's a lot.
I'm saying that her heart is frozen, you know.
He may or may not have had a really actual relationship with a Grand Duke from the Weimar Republic, new Carl Alexander.
They may have just been friends or they may have been more than friends.
Some quotes from his, from Hans Christian Anderson's journals are, quote, I quite love the young Duke.
He is the first of all the princes that I find really attractive.
So he definitely liked him.
He said, quote, and this point, I'm not sure if I believe, but I'll tell you why.
He said, the hereditary Grand Duke walked arm and arm with me across the courtyard of the castle to my room.
Kissed me lovingly.
Asked me always to love him, though he was just an ordinary person, asked me to stay with him this winter.
Fell asleep with a melancholy, happy feeling that I was a guest of a strange prince at his castle and loved by him.
It's like a fairy tale.
so like I don't know if that's true because
he literally said it was like a fairy tale and he's a fair tell writer
yeah was he like a famous writer
like yeah why is he it's like it's like the Brad Pitt
and you're like it's weird dude everywhere I go but he's so nice to me
right people want to be around him of course they do because he's
famous and he's like creative and cool but it doesn't mean they're in love
with him yeah you know we being famous
that's good enough yeah
that's what's trying to do here yeah
so I mean it's hard to know if any of his relationship
relationships were like, were quieted because they, you know, a lot of the stuff were just in his head, you know, like he thought that they were, he thought he was in relationship with Jenny, he thought it was in relationship with Edward and he wasn't. He never got married or had, um, a long-term relationship. He, you know, kind of lived like a single life, kind of hanging out with friends.
He sounds like a compulsive narcissist who thinks that his importance to others.
makes them love him
it's like yeah like why would you
I mean he sounds a little like a crazy person
I don't want to smirch the guy
who gave us little mermaid
but still he sounds kind of nuts
and I think I feel like
what is narcissism
if you assume
things around the world
that revolve around you that isn't that narcissism
maybe
but I think it's also like he also like
had other weird things like well one more of relationship that he might have gotten in he might
have a dancer named harold sharp um and they would like go out together like in public and people
thought that was like too much and then they when they broke up he would like try to get him back
for a long time but that might not have been real either but yeah i think that like i don't know
of his narcissism because he didn't like
think he was
super great
he just
wanted something really romantic
so he kind of made it happen in his head
I don't know I'm not a
I'm not at the guy I'm going to go backwards
my bisexual comment earlier because
it might not have even mattered
what gender age
species the thing was
as long as they gave him some degree of attention
and affirmation he was like I'm in
exactly exactly that he just needed he craved that
crave that attention other things about about him
he was very superstitious
so he would carry a rope with him
while traveling to be able to get out of buildings
if there was a fire like to put out the window and get out
just in case that's not crazy yeah that does not talk crazy
I'm not mad at that he was also really afraid of being buried alive
which also agreed to agree yeah but he had a
um they said that he had a piece of paper that he carried around um that said i only appear to be
dead in case anybody thought he was dead and some people say it was written into 14 different
languages it's like listen listen to like this is why you're having dating problems you're carrying
around a fucking piece of paper on a placard around your neck saying if i stop breathing i'm so like
that's not normal just have a drink just have a beer and be cool like it's fine like i feel like in
not exactly those words someone at one point must have been like dude be cool like cut it out
be cool your famous author like in you like anyway just go drink constantly and just like
do whatever the fuck you want that's the life of a famous Arthur Arthur or right perfect um he also
was he was also an artist he would do paper cutouts which are really cool I'll show you some of them
I'll put them in our thing but they kind of look like though the like the like the flags
for Dia de los Mordos, like, but they're not, obviously not that, but it's like paper cuttings of
things. And they would tell stories and cut paper at the same time, and then open it up and it'd be
like a beautiful scene, which is cool. Yeah, it's a great talent. It's like a very complicated
snowflake, you know? So that's super cool. So, you know, just kind of like a weird, eccentric guy,
you know? The final story that I'll tell you about him, that's fun, is there is you have a
play like those role playing games where it's like a dice game like you've ever played dungeons
and dragons no but i played dice games i mean yeah you know what i mean but there's so there's a dice
game called trapped in your house due to hans christian anderson that you can play um i found it i
i have a link to it um but it's hilarious so it comes from so some dude just like made this on
oliver darkshire made this it's on his patreon i'll share it with you but the game is it's a one-page
dice game and it says Hans Christian Anderson is on your lawn he won't leave and you refuse to let him in surely he has to go home eventually surely why does he have camping supplies with him and then things like you get points for certain things but the reason that that is a game is because in 1847 he met Charles Dickens he went to England he met Charles Dickens and he like freaked out he's like dude like you're such a great author like I'm just really I'm so excited to meet you can we
letters to each other like can we be friends and dickens is like yeah totally so for 10 years hans christian
anderson sends him like a ton of letters just like tons and tons and tons of letters and eventually at some
point dickens is like hey if you're ever in london you know stop by so 10 years after they meet in um 1857
he goes to um he goes to london to stay with charles dickens at his house and it's a weird time in
the dickens house because something that he had written had just like sold really poorly so he was
worried about his future and he was also considering leaving his wife for a teenager so like
that made things a little bit i see in the dickens house old yeah it was tense so Anderson comes for
two weeks stay he does he doesn't speak english super well so he it's kind of hard to talk to you
and he's like super intense so the kids that live there they're like he's a little bit weird he also
wants the kids to shave his face because he's saying that like in where he comes from it's a
tradition to shave your guest's face and they're like no that's weird but he just needed tons of
attention from everybody in the house and they're like dude we can't do this at one point one of his
one of um Anderson's work it's a bad review in the London papers and he sobs to Charles
Dickens and goes out into the lawn and screams and sobs and rolls around on the grass because he's so
upset.
I mean, about Charles Dickens's upstairs, just rolling dice over and over and over again.
She's been a dip in the fuck out of here.
Yeah, totally.
Finally, he leaves, but he stayed for five weeks.
And he sort of said he's going to stay for two, which is still a long time, but he stayed
for five weeks.
And they said that after he left, they put a sign on the door that said, Hans
Anderson slept in this room for five weeks, which seemed to the family ages.
Left it on the door.
He was annoying.
Yeah.
If he wasn't annoying, and he said.
said he's coming to your house for like a couple of days and he stays for five weeks you'd be
like fuck this guy yeah no totally it's a long time yeah um i haven't read david copperfield
the the charles dickens book but there's a character named muriah hepe who's like a mischief
maker and that's probably based on hans christian anderson that he read about it later um also i looked
it up david copperfield the magician's real name is david set cotkin is he named after the book
he must be i don't know i like didn't i didn't thought about that ever
I'm so not a reader that I thought the book was named after a magician.
Well, definitely not, because a magician's still alive and the book is from the 1800.
I know, but I didn't know how old the book was at that time.
It's just a biography of the name of the Copperfield.
And then finally, when Hans Christian Anderson is 67, he falls out of bed and he never recovers.
So I don't know what happened when he fell out of bed, but it was something that was just downhill from there.
He might have gotten cancer a little bit after that, but he is going to die in the next couple of years.
And he kind of says that that falling out of bed was the catalyst to make him eventually die.
He had someone write a song for his funeral.
And he said, quote, most of the people who will walk after me will be children.
So make the beat keep time with little steps, which is like kind of weird.
I'd be like, okay.
I mean, you dismissed me earlier, but whatever.
I know, but I don't think, I don't think it was like sexual towards children.
I think he's just a weird guy.
No, that's what I'm saying.
I'm saying, like, I think that he's somebody, he strikes me as the type of person who's like, anybody who shows me any sort of validation, I'm just going to, like, latch on to, like, I don't know.
Totally.
I hear that.
Not great.
Not great.
So then, remember Edward from before?
Yes.
So somehow, Anderson, when he dies on August.
4th, 1875, he gets buried in the Collins' family plot, even though he was not part of that
family. He just lived with them for a little bit. He gets buried in the plot and arranges for Edward
and Henrietta to get buried with him. So he wants to be buried with Edward, who he was in love with
and Edward's wife, Henrietta, who tried to get him not to marry. And they are. They are buried together.
Edward died 10 years later, and Henrietta died 20 years after Hans Christian Anderson died, and they're still
all three buried together and the only person's name on the headstone is hans christian
anderson so hold on they exhumed they exhumed his coffin no he was like i will be here
waiting for you and then they bury them with him with him i was thinking about the uh that simpsons
episode where mr burns was talking about how when he dies he's already had a plan so that his
coffin has extra room in it because he wants smithers to be buried with him alive that's what
thought you were saying no they're just buried like next to each other but if you went to the
cemetery you wouldn't know that because ever to henrietta's names are not on the grave it's just
hans christian anderson maybe maybe edward was like after a years of being married was like
yeah i should have gone with hans maybe my life would have been a little bit weirder of kind of fun
who knows also isn't weird that one at one point henrietta was like a super hot name
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't hate it.
You call her hen.
It could be cute.
That's so, that's almost offensive.
Why?
Calling her a hen.
It's not a hen.
Just the name hen.
No, henny.
Henny would be good.
I don't like it.
Let's just skip Henrietta's.
Let's not do Henrietta names anymore.
The season has passed for Henriettos.
It has.
I don't know any.
That's for sure.
I don't know any new ones either.
So who knows.
Yeah, and that's it.
Sweet.
So do you have a list of everything he's written that we would know?
Well, I did a couple of them in the beginning.
Like, have Thumbolina, the Ugly Duckling, the Princess and the Pea.
I think those are like his really famous ones.
Emperor's New Clothes, obviously.
I just read that with the kids.
The little match girl, the Snow Queen.
There's a bunch of them.
It's almost like Walt Disney just, like, sat around waiting for intellectual property rights to expire and just, like, snatched it all up at once.
Not almost.
It's probably certainly exactly what he did.
Yeah.
That's what's what happened.
That's exactly what happened.
I mean, good, good move.
Those are great, uh, it was all great.
Totally.
Have you, well, you see like John Oliver, like, has like a fake Mickey Mouse now because Mickey Mouse is now out of the public domain, you know?
And then, like, obviously, I watched, like, the Winnie the Pooh.
Yes.
Yes.
And you're right.
You're right.
That's the story behind it.
Was the IP to Winnie the Pooh expired exactly then.
But they couldn't do the Winnie the Pooh representation in Disney, because that's a separate IP because they layered their own thing on.
Was it Disney or Hannah Barbera?
What are they Disney?
is it okay
either way
I want more stuff
in the public domain
let's do more weird stuff
with characters we know
so that's why
that's why
so they're going to do
another we need of the poo
because that one just like
was so popular
it's such a good movie
no it's not a good movie
it's very dumb movie
but it's very fun
and so they're going to do
another part two to that
I think there's a part two
already
is it already out
I think so
because it tried to go
into part two
after part one ended
that's great
I love one
all these movies come out one up
the other.
I was going to go see
Terror Fire 3
and I just never got around to it
and so I'm just going to wait
for it to be come out to streaming.
Did you see one and two?
I didn't.
I don't know why.
I mean,
it's fun.
I know I need to watch it.
Our closing movie for
for Halloween was the crazies
which was fun.
I never saw that one.
It's pretty good.
And then we had a choice
between a scary movie
which was the crazies or a fun movie
but we didn't know
which one was
which we picked scary,
but the fun movie

Well, this one was from Nadine.
Well,
Thank you, thank you, yeah. Thank you. Sweet. Do you have anything list from Millwise?
I do. Actually, speaking of Nadine, she mentioned something about having the delayed sleep disorder.
So she said that she has to have like really good sleep hygiene, minimal caffeine, very dark.
dark bedroom, no screens in the bedroom in a very consistent sleep routine. The key is
the light therapy. Like you were saying, like if you, the same kind of light that you use
for like depression, she shines it in her face in the morning. It'll trick her brain
to thinking that she should be awake, you know? That really works. Yeah. That's incredible.
I know. Well, because you mean, yeah, you're supposed to be able to like be awake when the sun's
out. Yeah. In general.
