Welcome back, faties.
To part four of our Custer series.
We're here with Neverful, throwing poo.
I'm joined a poo.
Eating pies, throwing poo, and specky four eyes.
We're here, and Custer's been slain.
Colonel mustard's gone.
Colonel mustard's been...
He's been hit by a candlestick.
The Conservatory, the Camseagabas arse.
And it's the aftermath of the battle of the...
little big horn and it's listen
America's got a bloody nose
and they always
they overreact
yeah they don't react well to a bloody nose
no they really don't why are they so
fucking tetchy they are tetchy
so jumpy I think it just doesn't really work
with their view of themselves basically this is America
you poke them and they go fucking what yeah
10 years of war
exactly so this is the long
road to Afghanistan
Iraq
Iwo Jima you can you know it's all
it all starts here
who's Ewojima
No, no, sorry.
No, Ewo Jima is not a, no, that's an island of the Pacific.
Don't get too excited for World War II Pacific series.
My God.
It's a while away.
We're working on a while away.
Let's get through the western front first.
Anyway, we're talking about the aftermath of Little Big Horn and what happens after
Custer's death.
Now, Charlie, you've Googled Native American swear words.
What have you found?
I like Munya.
White person.
Munoi, is white ass.
Munya Chihuahua.
Munoia Chihuahua.
Is that slang for white ass?
Is that a...
Am I feeling...
Am I feeling racially violated?
I hope so.
Wouldn't that be amazing?
I'd love to feel that.
I'd love to feel...
I think we're forcing it a bit, though.
Yeah, it genuinely just bounces off me.
The M word.
The M-W.
He said it with a...
The hard W.
Muno.
Oh, but squaw is a young woman.
That's like a little...
Squaw.
Or cunt.
Squaw.
Or shaggantz.
Shish-haired.
Shaggantz.
means shitheads.
All right shaggans.
Oh,
yoy!
Classic shaggans.
Here he is.
A bunch of shaggans.
Apparently squaw is a racist and prejudice.
Oh, it's slow, is it?
Well, I don't want to hear any more of it.
Sorry.
Can I just take a minute to apologize?
To all the Native American listeners.
Should we do a land acknowledgement?
Let's do a land acknowledgement.
Yes.
Where are we?
So we're in South London.
Yeah.
So.
I would like to acknowledge that this is the land that I rent and I'm British, so I live here and it's mine.
Anyway.
We're talking about how after the battle Little Bighorn,
Custer is dead, and news reaches the New York a couple of days afterwards,
and it's pandemonium.
Right.
Their hero, their celebrity, has been butchered,
and the aura of impregnability has been shattered by the Native Americans.
President Grant says,
I regard Custer's massacre as a sacrifice of troops brought on by Custer himself.
Yeah, it was wholly unnecessary.
split, right?
People say Custer was arrogant and reckless.
Other people think he's like a martyr,
romanticising him.
You know, this is the era of manifest destiny, manifesto.
Well, the New York Times, I guess,
because New York Times is always trying,
framing the conversation of the time it's in,
they're not wokeys at this point.
At this point, no, they're not.
They believe in manifest destiny.
They're fucking...
That's the editorial policy,
the New York Times, manifest destiny.
Exactly.
Yeah.
It's about, you know, settler cloning lists, right?
So his, now Libby,
his widow, whose poem was called Miss Lizzie.
Excuse me.
Very, very moving story.
Libby, whose poem was called Miss Lizzie,
she now becomes a professional widow.
She's paid for it.
Basically, she writes Custer's biography.
She mythologizes him.
She makes him into an American hero.
She writes three books.
Goes on speaking tours.
I'm obsessed with these women.
I think it's such an interesting career almost,
I went to see Singing the Rain.
You know singing the rain?
Yeah.
It was presented by Gene Kelly's wife.
Right.
Right.
But then she was about 60 years old.
Nice.
So it was like,
this is a film that came out in the 50s, I believe.
Nice.
Kelly was a doubt.
Everyone was sitting there just thinking,
hang on, how's this work?
We're just working out the time period.
Just doing that 60, 50.
And he died like 10 years ago.
And basically, she was his third wife.
and she married him when she was in her 20s
and he was, I think, 82.
And so she was only with him
for the last three years.
She wanted that gig.
Yeah,
and now she's been touring his film
for the last 15 years,
taking her out.
But she was a massive super fan as well.
Yeah.
So she was basically just like one of our patrons
coming through.
And so you're on your deathbed,
you have a patron basically
wanks you off to your grave.
Yeah.
And then takes all your archive around with him,
you know,
for the next 20 years.
Well, we're doing a Q&A speaking tour
after the podcast ends when I'm dead.
Well, you're like 80.
Right.
We've been doing this podcast.
And I marry a patron.
Who's wearing a t-shirt
at the wedding ceremony.
Wank me off.
In a deathbed.
Ranking you to death.
Yeah.
Because you're right at the end.
And I'm surrounded by Nazi memorabilia
that the patron have given me.
By the way,
I've been offered Himmler's milk jug.
And are you...
I'll see some photos.
I mean, I often have him as milk jug.
So jugs.
But yeah, I imagine then he'd take your archive, the Finn Taylor estate.
Yeah.
And sort of do like...
Christ the Fin Taylor estate.
For 20 years he's taking it around.
He's technically Finn's husband.
I'd like to do a presidential library kind of thing.
Oh, right.
So you invest in like a public...
Public records.
Well, like a park, the Finn Taylor Park.
Not park, no.
People like Charlie all shit in it.
I don't know a park.
A presidential library.
Or it's a library where you can't be quiet.
you have to shout.
So it's really hard to work him.
Right.
So Custer had left Libby with a lot of gambling debts because he was a big gambler,
which I don't know if we talked about or not,
but the rest of history did fucking 11 episodes on this.
Yeah, because he also tried his luck in the stock exchange,
blew loads of his money.
So when he was going out,
part of the reason he was under such urgency to get Little Big Horn done as well
is because he needed a big win.
He needed to make his money back.
He was up against it.
So he could go and speak as the hero of the American Indian Wars.
Yeah.
They want to be Blair in Kazakhstan.
Yeah.
Totally.
God, the Blair Docks so good.
Oh, the Blair Dock's so good.
It's so, fuck it.
It fires me up.
Thank you.
When he rolls his sleeves up and he goes into Kosovo.
Yeah.
And you can just see the monster.
You can see the ego escape from now.
What's this?
Is this, what's going on here?
Is this some, Marrando?
Brando and, yeah.
When he sent her up.
So this is an Oscar where Brando accepted the Oscar by sending up a,
she's called,
She's such a little feather
And she's an Apache
Apache's the most brutal ones
Or is that the Comanche?
The Comanche are the most violent ones
I didn't know
I don't actually know
She looks lovely
She does
Yeah
She doesn't have violent
Well they wouldn't send an ugly one up
I think
No
Because it
Yeah
No but I mean like violent ways
They wouldn't said
Rattling bag later
Okay
When I sell my business
I want the best tax
And investment advice
I want to help my kids
And I want to get back
To the community
Ooh
Then
it's the vacation of a lifetime.
I wonder if my out of office has a forever setting.

Custer is in debt when he dies,
so Libby just becomes a professional widow
and essentially mythologizes him.
She alone makes him.
makes him...
Towards his estate.
Yeah, basically, as we've said.
Right, what have you found?
Come on then.
Come on.
Leslie Lemon.
World War II veteran from Aylesbury.
Credited his long life to eating custard and rhubarb daily.
And he believed in eating it cold or in a trifle,
often stating that you can't beat it.
He passed away.
He passed away only last year.
Leslie Lemon.
Stop eating all that custard.
If you're 106, it's like do whatever you've been doing that.
Mark of custard.
Every day.
106.
Fuck me.
Do you think he's going to have a young wife who's touring his estate?
Like a 21-year-old piece who, you know, is with him for the last three years.
The custard estate.
Yeah.
God, imagine sucking off Leslie Lemon though.
Sounds like custard.
Well, yeah, it must do, actually.
Fuck me.
Imagine having him sucks off right now.
Imagine having his custard in your mouth.
Christ.
Jesus.
Does it come change as you get older, or is it always, is it, is it, is it the cum of a 25-year-old man?
At the end it comes out like dust.
Yeah.
Someone had a joke about how
when you get to 80,
it's like a little white flag comes out,
surrenders.
Yeah,
supposedly.
If you smack a tube cushion,
really hard.
Oh,
the Bakelou line.
Yeah.
And just fucking centuries
of dust comes out.
But I wouldn't know, Charlie.
I wouldn't know.
Nor would I.
The only cum I've tasted is my own by mistake.
Have you tasted your own cum?
Well, no.
but I've, you know, I've...
I've had a double.
I've kissed women after they've been down there, truffling.
And you get a sense of what it might taste like.
So you've got a sense of it?
I've got a sense of it.
Also, there's those bushes that smell like cum,
and I can put two and two together.
You've had tried your own...
Whereas you've actually drunk the stuff.
You're Leslie Lemon, but for cum, you're drinking custard every day.
A mug of it.
Yeah, you have a mug of cum every day.
And you go, you can't beat it.
I'm going to live to 1506.
You can't beat a mug of...
I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if you lived to 100 and...
You can't be a mug of calm every day.
Mug your cum every day.
This is you.
106 podcast veteran in a chair
drinking a mug of cum every day.
Still producing this pot.
Yeah.
Anyway, what became of the 7th Cavalry?
Crucially.
Crucially.
Now, the 7th Cavalry had been decimated, of course,
but it was brought back into service
just a few months later.
And Terry, our friend John Terry,
leads a recruitment drive
to hunt down the Lecoving
along the little Missouri River.
Now quite quickly after the battle,
the Native American scatter,
but very quickly,
they then separate.
And if they had stayed as a village,
they might have had some kind of leverage.
Yeah, well, they would have delayed
they never spoke about two years probably.
Yeah, because...
Together Strong.
Yeah.
Well, who's that?
On own week.
Together Strong wasn't there yet.
Okay.
He comes into the story later.
So at some point,
they go back to Washington, the army, and they're like, we need a fucking, we need everyone.
We need the whole army to come and take down these.
Newk the cunts.
Nuke the cunts now.
Newk Peru.
That's where they're from.
Fuck it.
So the life of the Sioux basically just becomes, get these fuckers onto a reservation.
So in August 1877, the government added the sell or starve clause to the Indian Appropriations Act,
which nullifies the four.
Fort Laramie Treaty, which had been void anyway, the Black Hills thing, it stops rations
on to the Sioux reservations until they stop fighting and surrendered the Black Hills.
So what I didn't quite realize is that you've got people who are just like minding their own
business, roaming about, shooting bison, and they're forced to go to centre parks and to live off
the rations of the American government, which is very weird for like a libertarian country
to be like, no, you have to live off the state. And we're also not going to provide one for you.
it's mad.
But also, I mean, not to get too political,
but it's like the support of Israel,
it is like, obviously America needs to back that
because it's the same methods that they've used.
I think you should leave politics out of this.
Sorry, yeah, of course.
It's irrelevant.
The US government after the Battle of Little Big Horn,
they go for a policy of total annihilation.
Native children are taken from their families
and made to follow strict rules.
Children are given white names, which is very sad.
Because these guys have some of the best names.
They got the best names.
So, you know, sitting on...
Standing Rock is fucking John Sam's.
Sitting on man's face becomes, you know, Neil.
And it's just not...
Yeah, Nigel.
Nigel.
Nigel Williams.
That's not very...
That's not a very gay name, though.
Oh, right.
Oh, you mean, the gay white name?
Yeah.
Well, there's not really gay white names
because gay white people...
Mattie.
Matty's pretty...
But normally it's like...
I'm no longer Matt.
I'm Estevan.
Do you know what I mean?
What?
It's always like they're always good.
Yeah, I'm, I'm new now.
I'm actually Jose.
I'm not Joe, I'm Jose.
It's funny, you just reminded me when I went to that wedding.
I went to a wedding.
I got sat next to a gay man called Diego,
a bit of fun, whoever did the seating plan.
Anyway, a lovely guy.
He didn't, you know, he didn't click,
but he was a nice enough guy.
He didn't know anyone.
You know when you get stuck next to someone
who doesn't know anyone.
So you're like, okay.
Anyway.
You're getting on.
Getting off.
They're getting on.
It's nice.
And then I had a lot.
He wasn't drinking.
I wasn't getting off with Diego.
He, we, he wasn't drinking and I was absolutely hammering it.
Because we got, we got all these shots in between courses.
You said he took an audience of you.
Wait.
We got these shots in between courses for the speeches.
And I did all of his because he wasn't drinking.
But you did.
And anyway, it got to the pudding, right?
And my lizard brain kicked in.
And I was just so drunk and hungry that I ate the pudding and essentially like,
two bites.
And while I'm eating it, like, faster than anyone else is eating their pudding,
he's looking at me.
You know the way, um, you know the way Zane Lowe looks at Fred again?
Like that.
I'm just like, oh, well, man, he's there like, oh, oh, God.
Oh, fuck.
Oh, wow.
Let him cook.
Everyone's looking at me like, fuck me.
You're eating that quickly.
So when you say your lizard brain.
My brain.
My fat brain kicked in.
And I just ate pudding like so, like it was antisocial how quickly I ate pudding.
And he was looking at me like, we've just been having a polite conversation then, fuck for me.
Like a dog.
Like an animal would come out.
Like he looked away and he looked back and there was a golden retriever there.
Yeah, the snake.
And then he let me eat his pudding.
I'm just not to you.
I'm fucking bet he did.
I did not eat someone's ass.
You mean mine ain't yours?
No.
anyway so
the yeah the
Indian kids are given white names very sad
they're banned from using native languages
very sad becomes John Smith
very sad sorry very sad is now John
boys had to have their hair cut
and they were sort of cut off from their family
and by the time they returned home
the children can only speak English and they're alienated
from their tribes and
the children are subject to
sexual abuse I don't know why that's relevant
Phoebe I don't know why you put that in there it's a comedy podcast
it's five sake
And that happens here.
That's just normal.
That's our thing.
That's our thing.
Yeah.
We're trying to get them to be Protestant.
Yeah, it's a boarding school.
It's called being white.
It's a white boarding school.
It's a fagging.
It's just fagging.
Yeah, exactly.
Malesting the man.
The boy.
So the Doors Act, 1887, this basically turns all native own land into plots, as in farm plots for individual
native families.
Right.
They're trying to stop them being nomads and start them being farmers.
Put some roots down.
And these guys are like, but we're not, we don't have roots.
We're digital nomads.
And this is during your favorite period of racial science, but this is social,
because what's often forgotten because of World War II is that social Darwinism as a philosophy
was massive in America.
Huge.
It gets a bit washed because they were anti-fascist during World War II.
As we discovered.
They said all that stuff, they put it into the Nazis because we all agreed Nazis are bad.
Yeah.
But America was like the king for that shit.
Do not forget there was charity eugenics foundations.
You would be running a marathon.
You do charity gigs a lot more.
I would do charity gigs every day of my life for the American Eugenics Foundation.
You did a charity gig last night.
Who was it for?
A children's hospice.
Fuck off.
Yeah, I know.
Gay.
In the 1890s, please.
In the 1890s, you would be running a marathon, who you're running it for?
Oh, it's the,
little charity that wants to sterilise people with Down syndrome.
Let me sponsor you.
I'll sponsor you £100.
You're doing the Lord's work.
Yeah.
That's what a charity men.
The fun run, you know.
Yeah, that's a fun run.
You know, this is what charity men in the 1890s.
And obviously, as we discussed in the eugenics episode series,
the Nazis copy and paste some American eugenics policies.
And that becomes the Nuremberglo.
But a huge amount of the moral justification for this,
it's not even a moral justification,
it's just sort of like a historical inevitability, right?
That they're like, the bigger race kills, smaller race.
Civilisation wins out over the less civilised in their words.
Because it's pretty hard to like,
they are just, you know, hunting on the planes
and it's kind of hard to justify it apart for the fact
that it's like, well, we're going to build trains
and you have to get out of the way.
Get out of the trains.
Sorry, brother.
Yeah.
Which is bad, but also historically is kind of
Sort of true.
Train, train, the train will.
The train's coming.
They're not going to stop.
They're not going to build trains around the...
No.
It's coming, brother.
Get out of the way of the train.
Yeah.
Don't stand on the platform.
I hate it when people jump in front of a train.
It's rude.
Christmas time.
Glad.
I know it's a sad time of you.
Yeah.
Or at least not a peak times.
Like that's fucking...
No, because part of the...
Well, yeah, don't kill yourself.
Just fucking do it somewhere else.
If you want my pity for killing yourself.
Be like a cat.
Take yourself off into a forest and die.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Or don't kill yourself or whatever.
You know, just don't get in my way.
Someone's gone soft.
He's lost his touch.
Yeah.
Don't kill yourself.
Anyway.
The father's changed you.
It has.
You know what it has.
I'm a big softy now.
Telling our listeners not to kill themselves.
So the Dawes Act.
Now, the officials believe that natives wouldn't make good use of the land,
so they gave them shit land.
saving the better land for the white guys.
Huit.
The Huatts.
To be fair, the Huatts knew how to farm.
They open boarding schools that are for Indian kids, Native American kids,
and basically try and make them American to, quote,
kill the Indian and save the man.
Right.
Not my words.
Also my words, sometimes.
Regularly.
So native ownership of land is reduced from 138 million.
acres in 1887 to 48 million acres in
934. Still sounds like quite a lot.
But the
near extinction of the buffalo in 1880
means that the Sue's way of life is
in 10 years it's just gone.
So the use of the buffalo and the bison
interchangeably but they are different, right?
They mean bison. But the Americans
call them buffalo. In the same way Indians
are not Indians. It's the exact same thing.
That's a big cow? Exactly.
Right. No. Americans as we know.
Look at that Indian on that cow.
Exactly.
The Americans can't name anything.
That's why all their cities are New York or Hampshire.
Yeah.
Christ.
Yeah, all these miserable place.
Yeah.
Why have you picked the worst places?
Yeah.
New Portsmouth.
Yeah.
Christ.
Imagine.
Manchester by the sea.
Yeah.
Christ.
Don't try and clots it up.
The act also made it possible for Native Americans to get citizenship if they accept the land allotments and they adapt to civilized life.
Yeah.
Right?
So this also introduces a blood quantum,
which means people have to prove
that they're more than half native by blood
to be declared Indian.
So what happens to our friends,
Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull?
Crazy Horse surrenders himself to the army.
And now he, his story is quite sad.
So he refuses to go on a reservation.
He will not go to Centre Park, says cunt.
And rather, he's like me, actually.
I'd rather just hand myself to the army.
I'm not going anymore.
It was very stressful.
And he's in custody.
And then someone grabs him from behind trying to restrain him to take him,
I think they're going to take him to Florida maybe.
Then he has a little knife and he attacks his guard.
And then a US guard just bayonets him in the back.
And then they're like, when you lie in the bed and he's like,
no, I'm not lying on the bed.
I'm going to lie on the floor.
And he just bleeds out on the floor because on the floor,
he's not like their property on the bed, you know?
Yeah, it's very moving and poetic.
He said, bury me at wounded knee.
He must have because that's that book about.
this whole thing is called bury me at wounded knee.
Well, we'll get to wounded knee.
So Sitting Bull does the opposite of that.
He becomes an Instagram influencer.
Yeah.
He goes to Canada.
Yeah.
Because in Canada, and this makes me feel proud, actually.
Canada, they call the grandmother's land.
Right.
Queen Victoria.
Nice.
They go to the British Empire where they'll be treated better.
Yeah, because they, this is one of the few things when we're like the good guys
in this because compared to the American.
You say this a lot and there's more than a few things by this point.
Yeah.
You know?
But like, they had time.
for Queen Victoria.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The Native Americans.
They got it.
So he returned from Canada in 1881 because they ran out of food and he surrenders.
They just gives up.
And in 1885, this is extraordinary, he joins Buffalo Bills Wild West, which is like a traveling circus.
Right.
And so he rides around the arena in a horse and gets paid $50 a week, which is about $800 today a week.
It's pretty good money.
It's decent.
And he gives most of it to the poor, idiot.
Woke.
woke nonsense. At the opening
ceremony, the Northern Pacific Railway, he allegedly
told the audience, quote, I hate all white
people, your thieves and liars.
You've taken away our land and made us outcasts.
Well, that's racist. That is racist.
And if I was in that audience, I'd be tweeting,
said, cancel crazy horse.
Or whatever it's called. Sitting Bull, the other one.
The translator changed the speech to praise
the railroad, and the crowd loved it.
Clever.
Sure got this guy at the BAFTAs.
Now, in the late 1880s,
he's on a reservation and he hates
it because at this point
food's running out the government aren't sending it
it's like really cold he can't ride a tandem bike
he can't ride yeah I mean you know there's like an elephant
and a lion he's like what am I doing
so
they then he then hears
that there is hope finally
you know his way of life's giving decimated
and then he hears of this weird
mad cult movement called a ghost
dance like a flash mob
sort of it's basically like a sort of
Christian Native American
crossbreed right
religious revival.
It's led by a prophet
named Wavoka or Jack
Wilson.
He has this revelation
in 1889
where he claimed he had
he was died and was taken to the spirit world
where the dead native people were all living
happily and the land was once again
teeming with bison and he met
God who told him that war and suffering
was ending and everything was going to go back
to how it was. It's very sad actually.
Yeah. And he also, they thought they don't
dancing and they um he got given a set of instructions to bring back the living and to like
you know recapture the life they had and there's something about how they all well wore white shirts
and the white shirts will stop bullets right so and this is how you do the dance right the people
must perform a ghost dance for five consecutive days and nights every six weeks to ensure the
arrival of the new world it's like a millinarian um religious cult right it's a five days in a row
in six weeks on a...
That's a lot of time.
Now, the original vision said
you have to be pacifist
towards the white settlers.
Right.
So you're not allowed to hurt anyone.
And they must not lie,
steal or fight with one another.
So the Lakota,
who were living under very oppressive conditions,
they interpret this with a sort of like
defiant edge where they're actually
a bit more violent towards the white man.
Right.
And they say...
So the shift from like,
Well, Vokas whole thing about, you know,
internal renewal,
to sort of physical protection against the army.
And then the media at this point are,
the American media are like trying to find a villain
for the last,
the last bit of the Indian fight.
So they're trying to justify it.
Basically, they try and make this out
to be a like a guerrilla campaign.
Right.
Like a mad, you know,
this is at the end of 40 years of like boys growing up
hearing about the American Indian wars
and like the savagery of the front.
and stuff.
This is the final bit.
And by this point, the 7th Cavalry is like a new generation of men who haven't
have fought at all, but they've heard all these stories.
And so they're like, oh, brilliant.
There's a new bunch of mad cunts that we can go and mess up.
So Sitting Bull gets arrested because they're scared he's going to join the ghost dance movement.
But his son Crowfoot mocks him for surrendering.
anyway, a follower of Sitting Bull
who's called Catch the Bear
shoots a police officer
who's called Bullhead
is he called Bullhead?
A police officer, what, Native American police officer?
They had police officers.
Naturally. Yeah.
It's like when the black police officers
who were involved in the violence in LA.
Yeah.
It's the same sort of vibe.
Right. So Bullhead
gets shot by Catch the Bear
and Bullhead falls and fires
at Sitting Bull and then Red Tomahawks
shoot Sitting Bull in the back of the head.
And so there's this mad gunfire that follows and crowfoot gets killed as well,
along with shiny head and sorefoot and big, headbone off, headbone off and all that.
Bearback.
Bearback.
Bearback dies.
So Sitting Bull dies in December 1890.
And following his death, Chief Bigfoot, that's his actual name.
Sounds like I'm making that up.
Yeah.
They flee towards the Pine Ridge Reservation.
It's funny, reservation makes it, they do sound like
Centre Park lodges.
They all say, they all sound like, yeah, Pine Ridge.
They sound lovely, actually.
Pine Ridge Reservation.
Now, they get intercepted by the 7th Cavalry,
Custer's old regiment.
Now, it should be said that,
sorry, they escort them to a camp at Wounded Knee Creek.
Right.
It should be said that just after Custer's death,
they start a force called the Custer Avengers.
Right.
The Custor Avengers.
Their 7th Cavalry are looking for revenge this whole time.
So at this point, it's the end of December 1890.
This is, what, 14 years after Little Big Horn.
We should place this.
1890.
This is after Jack the Ripper.
This is just after Jack the Ripper.
And it's before...
Hitler's an infant.
Hitler's 18 months.
Hitler is just learning to walk.
So it's before Hitler's second birthday.
It's before Hitler's second birthday.
Lovely.
Yeah, it's not too bad.
A toddler Hitler.
You know, he's exploring things with his mouth.
So if you were going to go back to kill,
if there's been time travelers who have gone back to kill baby Hitler,
they might be around at this time.
Yes.
It's in the window that someone would go back to kill him.
A steampunk nonce has gone back to 1890.
And then said, I can't look at him.
He's so, get baby Hitler up.
Look how cute he is.
Because baby Hitler's done nothing wrong.
They've done nothing wrong.
Can't kill a baby.
And do you think what he's going to, think what he's going to lurk at him?
That could be, that kid looks about 18 months.
Yeah.
That could be from 18.
1890 that photo.
Pretty much.
Click on that web.
Let's find that when that photo is from.
Blu-blub-blah.
Blu-blah.
Blu-blat.
18-19.
He's born in 89.
Oh, no.
He's born in 89.
No, he's born in 1890.
No.
He's born in 89.
Yeah, April 89.
So in...
This probably is.
Yeah, he's about 18 months.
So this is what it looks like
at the point of wooded knee.
Yeah.
Adorable.
Adorable.
Absolutely.
You just want to smush his cheeks,
don't you?
Blu-de-bloodin, blooddy.
Do you know what Hitler's first word was?
The ultimate goal must definitely be the removal of the Jews together.
That's his first written statement.
No, the ultimate, no, that's his first written statement in 1990.
Yeah. I mean, if it was his first words, that's pretty impressive.
It'd be much easier for the time for him to kill baby Hitler if baby Hitler was saying,
the ultimate goal must definitely be the removal of the Jews altogether.
Yeah, no.
I think he grew into his anti-Semitism.
What would Hitler's Native American name be?
it's a good point actually what would it be
gas juice or
little tash
it could be little tash yeah
we're angry tash angry tash
bad bad man bad man
real bad man
yeah angry tash is nice
yeah yeah um that's not actually
how hila comes into this story
that's just a byproduct that's just for free
that's for free that one join the patron
uh I feel we're to go in these
these pro bono sort of freebies out
I know.
It's ridiculous.
Crazy.
So let's get to Wounded Knee Massacre.
December 29th, 1890.
The 7th Cavalry attempt to disarm Bigfoot's band.
The atmosphere is very tense.
That's what Phoebe's written.
How does she know?
Should we do a soundscape?
We haven't done a soundscape for a while.
Yeah.
Okay, so bear in mind, there's red Indians.
There's no cowboys.
Actually, cowboys come after this, interestingly.
Found that out yesterday.
Oh.
The Cowboys only come in when the Indians have been,
decimated.
A cowboy's farmers,
sort of.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Anyway,
so it's very tense
and the scuffle
breaks out
when a deaf tribesman
called Black Coyote
was reluctant to surrender
his rifle.
Blah, blah, blah, blah.
Because he's like,
he's deaf as well doing it.
Well, no, he'd be doing that.
Would he?
Would he?
I think it'd be like,
it just wouldn't sound right.
It'd be like,
la la la la la la la la la.
Well, no, a deaf.
Blah, blah, blah.
Well, hang my,
it's,
it'd be a
because he wouldn't get the pitch
right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, no,
because he's not going
Nen,
Nen,
Nen Nez
N.
That's a disabled
Red Indian.
That's a disabled
Red Indian
Right.
Right.
A deaf one is probably
Oh,
no,
no,
no,
no
no,
that's a gay
one.
That's a gay one.
He's just chubbing it
in his mouth.
that sitting balls putting crazy horsecocks
dick in his mouth
yeah brilliant
sorry about that
brilliant great stuff so anyway
this episode is brought to you by FedEx
these days the power move
isn't having a big metallic credit card
to drop on the check at a corporate lunch
The real power move is leveling up your business with FedEx intelligence and accessing one of the biggest data networks powered by one of the biggest delivery networks.
Level up your business with FedEx, the new power move.
Anyway, this is actually very bad.
Yeah.
This is bad form.
Very sad.
The Americans, they encircle the, you know, was it 300 Lakota,
women and children.
They encircle them
and they have these machine guns
that are like Gatling guns
but they're called something else
and they just fucking
they just have at them.
Hot kiss mountain guns.
Hot kiss is that what's called?
I mean it's not cricket.
We'll say that much.
It's not, it's baseball.
Yeah.
It's baseball and it's not as fun to watch
and it doesn't need the same skill.
No.
Yeah, they just mow them down
and they actually,
because they're in a circle,
they kill some of their own soldiers.
25 soldiers die from friendly fire.
Fuck me.
It's very sad.
so all the 25 Americans died from Americans
they're encircling them in a circle
and they're just firing guns Christ
like at you know and so 300 women and children
during a ghost dance is this
yeah no there are ghost dances there
and they've got white shirts on
but it turns out the white shirts don't stop bullets
right
so is the ghost dance sort of like
Gandhi with rhythm
I don't know much about Gandhi.
Yeah, but like the non-violence.
Yeah.
It's about resistance via like resilience and non-violence,
but instead your body pop and doing the caterpillar.
Yes.
Right.
Don't shoot me.
Yeah.
And you're wearing a big white shirt.
Breathe.
Yeah.
I mean, if I had a Gatling gun and I saw that, I'd gun him down.
Diversity.
Oh, man.
Diversity, Britain's got talent final.
I would mow that down.
My God.
I'm watching.
Elevator
Breathe
Yeah
If that's happening
I'm in like a gun nest
Like Germans on D-Day
You can't
It's actually Banjo
Look at this
No no banjo's getting
His head torn
Look at this
Even the little kids
It's about flipping out of a rucksack
No they're all dead
They're all torn
Torne
Torrne
Sorry
No they kill about 300 women
and children
Yeah
There's no kind of
Yeah
There's no two ways about it
Yeah
The Ghost Dance
Wasn't affected
Against the Hotchkiss
the Hotchkiss gun
and this sort of ends
it's a tough way to
you know revisionist
this one to be honest
well at the time
they were asking for
well yeah
I mean
the guy was asked
to put his gun down
several times
and he kept sort of
oh
whatever
I guess if you
the only way you can view
it favourably
of the Americans
is a hatred
of a break dancing
yes
that's kind of like
I completely understand
That's the only way you could frame this for the Americans are the heroes.
Yeah, is that they're doing their best to stop the scourge of public flashmobes and breakdancing and buskers.
God, I'd love to gun down a busker.
I'd love that.
How would you do it?
I'd machine gun them.
Right.
Yeah.
But in the tube?
Yeah, anyway.
Tube, you'd be at the top of the escalator and you'd chuck a grenade that perfectly bounces down and lands into his...
hat.
Like that would be the most satisfying way.
As he's shredding.
No, I don't,
I like the shredding guys.
Yeah.
Son as it's good.
Accordion underground is a fucking hate crime.
Whereas Wounded Knee.
Wounded Knee was a battle.
So Wounded Knee kind of ends,
you know, the ghost dance is
shown to be what it is.
Load of nonsense.
And this kind of ends
all resistance from the
the Sioux.
It's sort of symbolic of the entire.
conflict right yeah it's the final
but at the time they call it a battle
the battle of wounded knee the army
call it a massacre but all the media
who had basically drum they made the ghost
dance into something it wasn't
this like rebel force right
they start calling it a battle
and the army are like no this was a massacre we did
an inquiry and stuff so so at all
times the army is like this is not cricket
and yet the civilians
the media
who are with the army reporting
on it are trying to make it into
a sensational
like tabloid story.
No, it was fucked up
what he did.
No, seriously.
No, it was great.
That's brilliant.
Just as a little coda
to the story
for our thick fat listeners,
the US government's tactics
against the Native Americans
are having an admirer
across the pond.
By this point, he's man,
he's flesh and bone,
he's no longer a toddler.
And Hitler...
It's sort of Elvis to the Beatles,
wouldn't you say?
Yes, yeah.
Taking from the States
and maybe making it
a European take on
Yeah, it's Beatles and Cliff Richard.
So,
1928, Hitler states that the US
has gunned down the millions of redskins.
Hitler, that's not the...
Hitler. Hitler. Adolf.
Adolf. Native American, please.
Thank you. Indigenous.
Christ.
Sorry. I apologise for Adolf's language here.
He is not of this time.
Okay. Hitler, the US has gunned down
the millions of redskins to a few hundred thousand
and now keep the modest remnant
under observation in a cage.
Now, what's interesting about that is
that very quote,
will be said by someone from Navarra media,
maybe not the Redskins,
but he's saying that as a compliment.
Yes.
Which is quite interesting.
The US has gone down into Redskins to a few hundred thousand,
and I keep the modest revenue under observation in a cage.
That sounds like you're saying it's a bad thing.
Yeah.
And he's like, brilliant.
They're great.
That's fantastic.
Yeah.
And he said that the treatment of Native Americans was a model
for his Labens round policy.
Great album.
Labens round policy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That was one of it.
Yeah.
So also what's also, what's also,
should be said that some of the Native American survivors at Wounded Knee,
they get,
maybe they're not even survivors.
Some people who are,
uh,
they're Indian.
Anyway,
they get,
they say,
they say rather than go to jail,
you have to join the Buffalo Bill Wild West show.
And then they fucking get made to tour,
um,
Europe.
Fuck.
So it's diversity.
But isn't it mad how it's like,
the end of the war is to basically make it.
into a circus.
But that's America, right?
Yeah.
That's the American story.
Exactly.
Is you have all these
tribal things
when you view the earth,
mother, mother nature
and you get captured
by fat bloats with guns
who make you dance in a circus.
Yeah.
The difference in the culture,
understanding of America.
It's the gift shop.
And also the,
you know,
Montana being this beautiful part of the world
being wasted on fat idiots
at a circus.
You know what I mean?
Totally.
You know,
these people had complete respect
for their landscape.
It's the gift shop
at the 9-11 memorial.
We're going to,
We're going to do this to us and then we're going to fuck your country up.
And then after 10 years of war, it's going to go back to how it was.
But we'll be making money from the site that you initially desecrated on our land.
Yeah.
You know?
Crazy.
Horse.
Huh?
Crazy horse.
Sorry, not crazy.
He's dead.
Crazy horse.
What was crazy horse's linked to wound a knee then?
He doesn't have one.
He does.
He says bury me at wounded knee.
No, he didn't say that.
They buried him out of wounded knee after the, after wounded knee.
because
that's like the
symbolic end of the resistance
I think
anyway
in 1980
representative of the
sue bought a legal case
against the US government
and the Supreme Court
for the violation
of the Fort Lowry treaties
and the court
voted in favour of the sue
and awards them
a financial settlement
of $102 million
which would be over a billion
in today's money
but the sue refused
the money idiot
what are you doing
take the money
God it's like watching
who wants to be a millionaire?
They won't take half a minute.
Take it.
But they're not playing to get more, are they?
Oh my God, it's so frustrating.
They don't get it.
Just you refuse to the money
remain committed to protesting
their rightful ownership over the blackout.
It's gone, mate.
Take the money, buy some new hills.
Yeah, it's set up a casino.
Oh, man.
It's just, we've done four parts
and they're just not learning.
They don't get it.
They don't get it.
Anyway.
So that leads us to,
well, that leads us to now
where it's the long road to
the Native American casino.
Type of a Native American scene.
Let's get some visuals.
It also should be said
that there was a show
in Glasgow,
Wild West Buffalo show,
where all the actors left
and then a Native American
stayed on the stage
and told the audience
that actually what actually happened
at Wounded Knee
and it was a massacre and it wasn't
because they made them
this is in Glasgow
they made them reenact
Wounded Knee
with these Native American actors
and then one of them
stayed on after they
left the stage and told the audience what actually happened.
But because he was speaking in his own language,
everyone was like,
ah, get to fuck.
Oh, fuck off.
Fuck off.
And then just threw tomatoes out and whatever.
Right.
Which is a nice little code at the end of the story, isn't it?
But even the fact that Native Americas are now casino owners,
it just,
it all is like,
symbolically,
it all kind of,
you know,
they're fucking running slot machines for people in fucking mobility scooters now.
Do you what I mean?
Yeah.
Well, slot machine and mobility scoot are.
Well, that's what,
modern Asian Americans are called
well that's what I mean
they're running the casino
who's gone from fucking
crazy horse
sitting ball
now it's fucking
fat mobility's goose
and chubby
chubby slot machine
anyway
uh anyway
listen that's the end of our
custer
crazy horse
and native American
series if you would like more
um do we have
look do we have any
Charlie do we have any sense
of the fattest Native American baby ever
well I'm surprised
I did try and find that
yeah but it's unclear
there are I guess they don't
There's an oral history.
There is a lot of people have been sending me on Instagram,
a lot of listeners,
this new baby that's just been born
about three weeks ago in New York.
Okay, new big baby just dropped.
Yeah, new big baby just dropped.
He's a 13 pound baby boy.
He fucking erupted out of his mom there.
13 pound baby boy and he already requires clothes for a six month old.
Fuck.
Straight north to six months.
Yeah.
Guys, I was 12 pounds.
Fucking hell.
I was 12 pounds.
Yeah.
13 pounds isn't that much.
I mean, I was fucking huge.
But if they're making posts about that, that bums me out because that basically means I'm...
You're free.
I was big enough to be a Facebook post.
You were big enough for Charlie to bring you up.
If we deal with Sussex in the 90s.
I must be up there.
Anyway, if you'd like more, we're on the Patreon.
