Each week we go through an old newspaper from a random date in history picked up by Dave Anthony. I'm Gareth Reynolds, and I've never seen it before. And neither is our guest this week, the great Ron Vy. Hi, Ron.

Hello, how's it going? How are you? I'm doing great, pretty good. You know? Okay, but can I just point out the downgrade there from a great to a pretty good within the same range? I started thinking about it as I started talking, you know, I gave you the good old phony, I'm great,

and then my head started going, like, you're not great. You're really not great. Actually really bad. Yeah. Hold me, please. Can you hold me? Can I have a hug? Well, Ron, you are a great comedian.

You're in the Bay Area. I agree. Wow, that was fast. See, you're doing better already. People can go to your website, which is Ron Vi, Ron with two Ns, and Vi as in thigh with a V, would you say? Correct, or high with a V, or psi with a V.

Well, no, because high can be H-I. That's true, but we're not doing that high. No, okay. Then thigh, then thigh or psi? Let's stick with thigh. I'm gonna push the thigh part as I was. I know what. And then your your socials, your Ron Ron and your.

Yeah, exactly. So Ron Ron. Mm hmm. So I have many runs. There's another Ron by who took it. Um, I have no idea why, but I have no idea why I do a lot of things. Twice as many runs. There's another Ron Vi who took it? I have no idea why, but I have no idea why I do a lot of things except why I have two N's in my name. Everybody always asks that.

Because when I was 12, my bowling coach was Ken with two N's and I really. Hold on, Ron. This is sounding very Ohio at this point. Let us have a minute here to just enjoy every morsel. I was. Your bowling coach was Ken with two N's. It was, and he helped me. I was the 1994 New Jersey Junior Bowler of the Year.

So, you know, you know who you're talking to here. What kind of scores are we talking about? Yeah. My highest is a 299. Oh, my God. So the last frame you missed. The last frame I left a five pin. Oh. What was that like? Um, it was like not

getting a 300. It was like Were people gathered around watching you? Yes. Cause it was during tournament play cause I was on the Junior Bowler Store growing up. So have you ever gotten a two ninety nine again. No. Do you ever think back to that last frame? Yes. Do you think your life would have been different?

Yeah. I just like Mr. What? What? What the weird part is, is that I remember I know exactly where I was. I was in Stratford, New Jersey at a bowling alley called the Martinique Lanes and it was lanes 51 and 52. I remember all of that. And then I clearly remember a visual of certain girls because everybody gathers behind you and watches, right?

And I remember certain girls being behind me and I'm like, why is that the memory I have? Because it's clearly not what, you know, but but but yeah. Are you OK? Are you saying that your sexual journey also changed that night? Is that I think it might be because I mean, bowling is not traditionally a very gay. Well, maybe lesbians, but but but not right. Not a gay man. Not not a gay man at all usually.

But yeah, I was on the Junior Bullers tour. I got it. OK, here's a fun fact. Got a partial scholarship to college from bowling. Wow. Oh, my. Scholarship. Now, wait, then. OK, so but real quick, you then legally change your name. Do you add an extra end because it can? Yeah. So I had no rules as a child, which means my partner hates me now because I do nothing because I had no task and nothing to do.

And parties, no rules. As my mom just let me do whatever I want. So I was like 12 and I was like, hey, can I be Ron? What two ends and like she let me be Ron. What to end? And I remember the exact bowling alley. I remember the exact bowling alley where this conversation took place. The bowling alley to everything.

OK, you guys, the other great bowling alley story is that I almost died choking on them. I almost died choking on a mozzarella stick at a bowling alley in Lodi, New Jersey. What a way to go. Here's the problem. You know, mozzarella sticks are like, you know, they're gooey and stringy, right? And the problem is, is that bowling alleys are really loud and everyone in New Jersey is Italian. So when you're doing this with your hands, nobody realizes that anything

is wrong. So you're just a 12 year old in the corner like flailing around, wildly gesticulating and nobody. What happened? Who got to you, Ken? I don't think Ken was there that day. That wasn't at a bowling alley that Ken frequented. We met at a different bowling alley. So how did you get out of this conundrum? How did you avoid it?

The seven. I think I eventually I think I eventually just like choked it up. So in other words, you just told us two great stories about you in a bowling alley choking. Thanks. Thanks. Yes. Well, I'll tell you what, it was a pleasure to have you on the show before the name reveal and the bowling alley regalia. You know, there is a Ron in another dimension living the life of the Ron who knocked down that five pin.

Yeah, he's just banging women. Good for him. Good for him. Good for him. Is that the key? Like, I would be totally straight and like knee deep if I got the 300. But leaving that five pin, it was like one little thing just staring back at me. And I'm like, yeah, in the dick now. Is that how it went?

Yes. Yeah. I don't want to just say, yeah, in the dick now. Is that how it went? Yes. Yeah. I don't want to just say yeah, but Dave's right, yes. I mean the penis, the penis phallic shaped and all comes with all the- Penis, penis, it looks like a penis. Ooh.

Um. Well, Ron, God bless you, you're an angel. Thank you for being here. All right, we're, as much as I would honestly, and we're not gonna talk about the mug because it's a top fiver But as much as I would love to sit here and talk about your gutter balls, let's get into the the pot We're gonna go through a weird newspaper Now, I don't know it you don't know it but we're gonna try to guess what year it's from

You're gonna guess first because otherwise Dave will just be you know, a psycho He'll make up a whole bunch of stuff, he'll slander me, he'll attack me, and it's gonna be a whole thing. You have a very... Just quiet, quiet please. You have a complex. Quiet please. So, Ron, you can guess first. The oldest newspaper we've ever done is around the 1600s. I'm gonna just be your friend here and say it's not going to be from that time. The most recent was the year 2000. We did it with the great Sam Sacks.

But you get to pick anywhere within there. What year do you think this is going to be from? Oh, my God, the pressure. It is a gosh. I don't know. I feel like, OK, I'm torn between what I think it might be and what I want it to be Well, how about this Ron just because you really cracked open some bowling tails you get one of each Okay, this has never been done

All right. I feel like We're doing something maybe from like the 40s Maybe 1940s not 18 right in the 90s 40s, but for whatever reason I kind of wanted to be like somewhere in the 80s Well, why well those are just you've just given us decade time frames, which I'm not gonna bend the rules that oh, that's right Oh, I see a specific. Yeah a year 1940 and 1985 okay 1940, 1940, 1985. I love the 85 guess, by the way. I'm gonna go- I love the 80s. I love the 80s too.

I'm gonna go 1956. I'm gonna play with you in the upper years. Ron is much closer. It is 1863. So Ron wins. Very close. Ron wins because of his second, he's got two guesses, but okay.

Well, you won. Okay, sure. Yeah, you lost. Unlike that bowling alley, I won today. That's Ron. Thank you, yes. We're trying to sort of redo your life. But let's just talk about how it was pretty correct

that Dave would weaponize this part of the show. I didn't weaponize anything. And be strange about it. Go ahead, Dave. This is what I'm talking about. Go ahead, Dave. You've got this weird complex about what happens during the guessing of the thing.

Dave. And just because you've always failed, Dave. It doesn't mean that you're not a good person. Dave. You're a great loser. Dave. You're a great loser. Dave.

The paper is The Union from Georgetown, Delaware, September 11th, 1863. Now Delaware seems boring to me now. 1863 Delaware has to just be total shit. Well, it's the middle of the Civil War and the paper is called the Union. Hmm. OK. Still. OK. Still shit. Still. Well, it's still Delaware's. You know what I mean? Delaware during the Civil War, everyone was like, we don't really care what you're thinking.

I mean, in general, Delaware, I grew up in New Jersey. Do you know how many times I had been to Delaware, which is right by New Jersey? There's a bridge that goes to Delaware. You know how many times I've been to Delaware, which is right by New Jersey? There's a bridge that goes to Delaware. You know how many times I've been there? Zero. Zero. Gutter.

I've driven through Delaware and it's pretty much like, oh, okay. I've driven through Delaware too and it's like if Maine had diarrhea. I mean, in New Jersey, everybody's like, Delaware? That's good. That's good. Wow. That's coming hard. Coming that's that's wow that coming hard coming hard it was just the first the name of the state was Della and then it was so unpopular they just where Della where all right so I don't really understand

what's happening with this paper but the the front page, girls who want husbands. Oh. OK. Coming in hot. Just to remind you of, yeah, what we needed women for. Girls, you want to get married, don't you? And what? Well, yeah.

No answer, no time for it. Only in papers in the 1860s. Are you just rhetorical? But that's but that's like, hey, you can't get a job on your own. You want to get married, right? Like what else? Like it is such a choice is available. Yeah. Like you can't even wear pants like now. OK, girls, you want to get married, don't you?

And what a natural thing it is for ladies who have such a hankering for the sterner sex By the way written by a man no doubt Right. It's gotta be it has there's no woman is writing this article a hankering a hankering Hanker a roast I have a hankering for a roast beef sandwich, but not even if I was straight. I wouldn't have a hankering for a woman. That just sounds wrong. Yeah.

Now, can you imagine putting that on like a dating profile now or something like, I mean, I wish I was single so I could be on the app and just be, yeah, I got a hankering for some pee. I could even say roast beef sandwich if you think about it. You could. Oh, I don't want to think about it, but yes. Come on, Ryan. Come to the dark side.

It is a weakness of a woman, and for this reason, she is called the weaker sex. Oh my god. Just opening right out of the gate with some dingers. You got to, yeah, you got to start, you got to frame the article, but where everybody, so the men are the sterner sex and the women are the weaker sex. Yep. And they want to marry the stern one. Well, if you want to get married, uh, don't for conscious sake act like fools about it. Don't go. I mean, this is honestly, and I'm not even trying to do the guy thing where I'm like, I am pissed off.

This is so upsetting. So out of the gate for it to just be this shitty. Shut up. Okay. Well, you're ready. Get ready for this sentence because don't go into a fit of the nips every time you see a hat or a pair of whiskers. Oh.

First of all, isn't this like during a war, but this is the front page article? Forget the war. Forget what's happening over. Ladies. You need a man. God. Quit trying to sit on every mustache, you old pity. Hahaha! Quiet, Sal! The man's writing!

Hahaha! A husband hunter is the most detestable of all young ladies. Oh. She is full of starch and puckers, she puts on many false airs, and she is so nice that she appears ridiculous in the eyes of all decent people. Amazing to fucking be upset about her being nice. Yeah, what's happening right now? Yeah, they're mad at. Yes. By the way, a lot of those things that were listed, I would be like, I'm in that would I would bang that person, you know what I mean? Like out there active,

nice. I'd be like, let's go. What? What? Say it. Well, say it, you piece of shit. Does that really narrow it down for you? Stop it. There's a process.

Nice, mean, whatever. You're down. Aggressive, whatever. I'm drunk. OK, whatever. May she be generally found at meeting about the last one always at social parties invariably takes a front seat at concerts.

She tries to be the belle of the place and think she is. This is so clearly from a guy who just got right. There's someone just someone just got a front seat at concerts. Yeah, she wants to be a front seat because then everyone's looking at her. Like rushes in front. I mean, this is 1860, isn't it? What concert is happening in a. What are you talking about?

Gabriel and the dirt sellers. And they play the play the bucket. Yeah. The first tie. They play the play the bucket. Yeah. The fur traders. The fur traders. They got the best jugist. You are fitting yourself for an old maid, just as sure as the Sabbath comes on Sunday. This men will. Wild.

It's crazy. Men will flirt with you, will flirt with you and flatter you simply because they love to do it. But they have no more idea of making you a wife than they have of committing suicide. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. I mean, I mean, this article is this is the first article. Oh, my God.

Could not be more aggressive. Now, imagine if she read this, but also left a five pin in the last frame. Like her life would be over. She would just go run into the ocean at that point. Oh, my God. This is written by a woman. Oh, my God. What? Well, now she's right. All women. If I if I was young,

if I was a young man I would have no more to do with such a fancy than I would with a rattlesnake. Now girls, let Nellie give you a piece of her advice and she knows from experience that if you practice it you will gain the reputation of becoming worthy girls. Uh, uh, pitch? not a woman just pretending to. That's just a guy wrote it and I make it seem like a woman. Well, I mean, Nelly is old time gay slang, so maybe this was just like the town gay. Oh, Nelly meant like if you're a little Nelly, you're gay.

There's also a rapper, which was always very confusing to me. So I'm like, was that the gay rapper? But no, that's so amazing. I've never heard of it. You know, Nelly, it's kind of like, you know, like your little Nelly, your little light and loafers, you

know, one of those, you know. No, I never heard the Nelly one. No. Are you doing Nelly with two ends or one? Two ends, one held, you know, just a little spice it up. Nelly. Wow. Okay, Gareth, we have done episodes about Anita Bryant and other, so there are women like this.

There are. I just am running into the intersection of it's, you're not wrong. I also am just like a paper allowing a woman to write the first article in the paper in 1863. It's troubling. It's very unlikely. And the language does feel, it just- It's aggressively, it's dude-ish.

You're saying it's a's it's aggressively. It's it's dude ish. You're saying it's toxic masculinity feeling article. Yes, I would say that's even being generous. Like this should this column should be like, bitch, shut up with. It's extreme. But you're right, there are these people there. I mean, there still are, you know. It is well enough that you learn to finger the piano, work embroidery, study grammar,

etc., but don't neglect letting your grandma or dear mother teach you how to make bread or get a meal's victuals good enough for a king. No part of a housekeeper's duty should be neglected. If you do not marry a wealthy husband, you will need to know how to do such work, and if you do it, it will be an advantage for you to know how to oversee a servant girl. I mean, the joie de vivre of a woman at this... Did you just say joie de vivre? Yes. I just don't expect it from you. Well, it's because you don't have much of a joie de vivre of a woman at this. Did you just say joie de vivre? Yes.

I just don't expect it from you. Well, it's because you don't have much of a joie de vivre. It must be so, like your purpose is so minimal in this world. I am hoping to marry a rich man, but if I don't, I'll just learn how to clean the walls better. I mean, it's just learn how to clean the walls better. I mean, it's just, this goes on and on. Like, it's just, it's so long. Yeah. If your hair is straight, don't put on, oh, this is crazy. Okay. It gets racist. If you,

if you know how to talk, I can't believe it gets racist in 1863, but that's what- That's an alt title to this, this show. Oh, it gets racist. If you know how to talk, do it naturally and do not be so distressingly polite as to spoil all that you say. If your hair is straight, don't put on curling tongs to make people believe that you have black blood in your veins. Oh, Christ almighty. So was it cool in the 1860s to curl your hair to pretend

that you weren't all white? Is that what we're... Ron, go ahead. You know what I mean? I think You know what I mean? I think here's what I would say I've learned from this country, its history and its citizens. We will disenfranchise anyone non-white and then pilfer their culture for whatever we want and never acknowledge that it came from them. So I think it is very possible that that happened. Wow. Check you out with the coming in with the points. It's the joie de vivre. Find other girls, listen to the counsel of your mothers and ask their advice in everything. Think less of fashion than you do of kitchen duties,

less of romance than you do of the realities of life. And instead of trying to catch a bow, strive to make yourself worth being caught by them. OK, that last part is fine. It's like just like the French bow. Right. OK. Yeah. She's trying to say, yeah, I mean, she's obviously terrible, but she's like saying, don't try so hard. Right. That's what this is. Don't try so hard. I guess I am so confused like saying, don't try so hard. Right. That's what this is. Don't try so hard.

I guess I was so confused because I don't try so hard, but it's also trying to push her towards like, hey, get yourself a man and do everything for him right now, right. This is and I want to know. And usually like these things, it's really good advice column where there should be like a picture of Nelly, you know, smiling in the water wearing a little like shawl or something a little broach or whatever and they can know I want to know more about Nelly. Well, I'm Gonna find out more about Nelly because yeah guy named Carl

I mean, I also like where it's like be more, be less into fashion and whatever. I'm like, it's 1860. Look, yes, you need to have a bird on your hat, but maybe the biggest. Don't push it, ladies. I mean, there's no, there's no wild opening. Yeah, there's no written by or like headline I mean, it's so demoralized like you must have just constantly been so demoralized dude To have to try. I mean and also think of the 1863 ma'am

like Great, right. So you mean great if like a goatee were made out of tobacco spit? But yeah, I'm a man. It's like I feel like 1863. Yeah, you don't want to. But yet that still that's like a manly man. He has to like hunt and get things. And what I can't hunt and get things.

I can't even figure out how to back up my iPhone, you know. I mean, it's almost I've never wanted to crack time travel more than to send Ron to 1863 to watch. Oh, wow. That would I mean, hey, as long as they have a bowling alley, I might be able to I'm sure they had some like they did. They had like, right? Yeah. They had pin swapper. I don't know.

Bowling was one of the first sports in the. Oh, was it really? Yeah, yeah. We talked about that. It was like rocks and like, yeah, the Dutch were doing it when they first came. Yeah. And I'm a new Amsterdam. Yeah. In New Amsterdam, yeah. Right. And then a guy cut a bunch of people's heads off and was crazy.

So, yeah. Okay. Nectar of the Lips. Next article. Well, we reckon some folks would really like to know what we thought of kissing. What is this paper? Because there is a civil war.

And now we're like, this feels like a pamphlet. Yeah, it's really weird. Like a how to get laid book. Maybe they're trying to drag you in with a personal like work touch, and then they're going to hit you with the definitely work civil war stuff. It feels like one of those newspapers that you get in every city where you think it's like a legit source and like you look through a few pages and then the last 20 pages are just like call Merlot or whatever.

And they have that, you know, is all personal ads and is all escorts and all of that. That's what it is. Really, the 1860 equivalent or like, yeah, it doesn't like if this is the first page, I cannot wait to get to the 10th page. It's like when you get a hotel room in Vegas and you're like, there's like Vegas today. And you're like, okay, and it's like an interview with Barry Manilow, where to get the best cigars.

Hey, want to get your dick sucked through a sheet? You're like, what the hell is this? What is happening? Wait, if that is something that exists, I live in Vegas. Where do I where do I sign up to be a writer? Yeah, you moved to Vegas. Yeah. For about two more months until I leave. I came. I did. I got to go. This is not.

That's tough. That's a tough place to live. Oh, yeah. Good for you. And then where are you going? You're going back to the Bay Area. I don't know. Wherever I have an I have an apartment in the Bay Area still that I rent out because I'm a part of the problem. And so so I could go back to the Bay. I can go to L.A. Who knows?

I could maybe time travel to 1860 and see how I do. How many cats? Three. Three cats. Oh, shit. I like it. I like this. And they're all named after characters from the Golden Girls. Let's hear it. Which one are you missing? Oh, well, I'm not I'm not like only one of them is named after a main character. Do you think I'm some sort of boring gay?

Please. Like what if I just run of the mill gay just out here naming him Blanche, Rose and Dorothy? What are the names? the things of me? What are the names? Well, the one that would be most familiar to the average person one would go ahead start is Devereux, named after Blanche Devereux. It's named Devereux because he is a boy.

And so it was hard to find the right name. So and he's great. And then the other one, the next one is named Jasper. And he's named after a character in an episode called Jasper Dukimmel, who was like, kind of like an irate artist. And there's more stories to that, but I named him after that.

And then we got a female cat that found me in the parking lot here. And she is named Frida after their neighbor in one episode, Mrs. Frida Claxton, that Rose accidentally kills when she told her to drop dead. I got to tell you, I keep dipping into the Golden Girls and it is a good show. It's really good. But I guess everyone is in the shadow of you, Ron.

The writing, the writing is very good. And the characters are very good. Yeah, there's not if you really follow the show, by the way, there are so many inconsistencies like Blanche has somewhere between three and six children and one episode and one episode. Her middle name is Marie. The next episode, her middle name is Elizabeth, just so that they can get to a joke that her initial spell out bed.

Like there are so many. There's no through like there's really no. The only through line is that there are four old ladies. That is it. But it is an amazing show. I gather I watch it nightly with my cats. You know, that's what we do here. Yeah. Well, I don't even remember how we started, but that is the right answer. That's all. I think we, I don't even remember how we started, but that is the right answer. That's awesome.

I think we started from nectar of the lips. Kissing. We got into it from kissing somehow. Well, we reckon some folks would really like to know what we thought of kissing. Let's see. In the first place, we thought what an absurd idea it is in a man to ask a lady to kiss him just as if he, the senseless being thought the poor little trembling creature, were going to do it. Okay, so... Okay, it's weird. This is weird.

Is it? No matter which way you slice it, it's weird. But is it just like, kiss, let the man kiss you? Yeah, I mean, I think the idea of a man asking for a thing so easily obtained. Why it is ridiculous. Yes, it is just like, let him take it. And yeah, that's right. That's what it is. They're saying, why would you ask? Why would you?

Yes. Why bother? Obviously he'll do it whether you want it or not. Silly. Is this also written by Nelly? Does that think of my paper is the Nellie Times. It really feels that way, doesn't it? Yeah.

She'd say no till doomsday, and you, poor unbeliever, would forego the happiness of drawing nectar from the rosebud mouth simply because. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. the rosebud mouth simply because. That's the next thing going on my grinder profile looking for nectar from the rosebud mouth. Oh, my God. Oh, can you? Simply because you were

ignoramus enough to ask for what you might have taken. Simply because you were ignoramus enough to ask for what. So it really. You just take it. He's really up there. Look. Yes. There are 10,000 ways to kiss a girl without asking.

Asking is a consent is we're in an era of consent being a turnoff, obviously. Yeah. Which we're in an era of consent being a turnoff, obviously. Which we're still in, I believe. I think we're saying be more, okay, direct her attention to something on the table. Ask for a book you know to be there. And while she's there, go with the effective purpose of helping her to look for it. Be particular to get to her left side. Do you need more telling?

What the fuck? So this is, I think- The move is this, hey look, there's a candle. Ever heard of the great Gatsby? Are you missing something? It might be over here. Just shut the fuck up, my tongue's in you. Do you get it, right? That's what it is.

Do you like cats? You wanna pick this one up? Hey, what about- Oh, blah. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. This means we think how wild dating apps would have been in that time period if they existed. Like if you could just.

A woman would swipe left and it would be like, all right, a match. And you'd be like, no, Chris, no. We're married now. You married Doug. He makes boots. Wait, what? He's not even in my area! You'll move! Shut up! Your mom packed all your shit! You have no rights! Shut the fuck up!

Just get in here so I can chain you to the stove! Here, this is his friend. Your clothes are off. Don't wear them until he says okay! But I swiped left! Left means yes! Oh, I meant right! Right means yes! Everything means yes. You are a woman in 1963. Shut the fuck up! You shouldn't have got on the app called My Property. I didn't even download an app. It doesn't matter. The app downloaded you. Get inside your husband's house. You are married.

A man who would ask for a kiss of a fair maiden ought to be tarred and feathered as a craven-hearted monster. Don't you do it! Don't! For goodness sake, ask the girls to kiss you! Kiss them if you want to! But do it like a gentleman! Also, quick reminder, there is a war.

A civil war! Also, quick reminder, there is a war. Right now, it's a war on kissing. Yeah, you know, they had a they they have a civil war, they had a war on drugs and they are. But right now, this is a war on how to get your woman. This is 1863 Fox News. So far. Holy shit. Profane language is abominable. What is this paper written by a grandma who wants her grandson to get laid? It's really, it's just a paper that yells at you from the porch. Yeah, really. It's just like a person complaining. Yeah.

Profane language is an abominable. Loud laughing is impol- impolitic. Inquisitiveness is offensive. Tatilling is mean. Telling lines is contemptible. Slandering is deli- devilish. Ignorance is disgraceful and laziness is shameful. And that's the entire art. That's the that's well, that's that's the article. It's my favorite ones. I would love to live during this time. And if this was what our biggest worries sort of war were, you know, we've got a lot going on, like if I can just open a paper today, like tomorrow,

if I just opened the front page in the New York Times and it was like, this is how you're getting laid today. But to your point, Ron, there's a civil war. You know, this is this is like it's like it's all it is almost like Brett Stevens columns. Yeah, where you're just like, but bro, shut the fuck. Nobody's talking about this. Shut the fuck up. Yeah. I also want to know if this is Delaware specific

or like if other newspapers from 1863 are also like this, if somebody in New Jersey was, you know, we've never really seen one like this. So no, this is not this is this is crazy and new. Yeah. And a lot of times there's a lot of times what happens is it'll be like this stuff. And then the next page will just be like 34 slain. We know the 34 slain in this one, and it's still just someone like, Let a man take his penis out if he's drinking whiskey. Don't be so delicate, lady.

Won't stand the test. Many proverbs admit contradiction as witness the following. as witnessed the following. The more the merrier. No, not so. One hand is enough in a purse. There's more. I'm nothing but what has an end. So that was an end. Nothing but what has an end.

So this one is not around anymore, but apparently back then. Not so a ring has none, for it is round. These all were obviously we know all these because they're so good. Money is a great comfort, not when it brings a thief to the gallows. I think these might be jokes. I think this is stand up. Is fucking jeselnick. That is dark shit. Money is great. Unless a thief is in

your gallows. What? What are you talking about? But if a man has no wallet. But if a thief is in your gallows, let him in! Take that kiss! Have sex with him! He's a thief! And he belongs there! Let him steal some nectar from the rosebud!

Holy fuck. It is a great way to the bottom of the sea. Well, that's quite a... That's it? I don't know why we lost these, but not so. It is but a stone's cast. Just come on, no. The pride of the rich makes the labor of the poor.

Not so the labor of the poor makes the pride of the rich. Well, one makes sense. Flipped it. Yeah, one makes sense. Well, that was an interesting article. Yep. Every one has been bizarrely upsetting. This is the last little, it's just one of the one sentence articles. It's the last one on the first page. These are my favorite. Kisses between women are like two handsome unmatched

gloves. Charming things with their proper mates, but good for nothing in that way. And all I want to do is whack it. So I don't even know what this is saying. Well it's giving way more props to kissing a woman like the fact that you're bringing up kiss. Yeah, it's yeah, it's so so women have to be kissing each other or else... It seems like it's far more validating of lesbians in the time than I thought it would

be like. They would be like, it's like a glove and a sock, but instead they're like, it's like two different gloves. That's pretty close for 1863. Charming things with their proper mates, but good for nothing in that way. But has anyone, I mean, I would wear two mismatched gloves. Well, everybody knows you would. I'm like Madonna.

Madonna would never wear two mismatched gloves. You'll eat those fucking words by the end of this show. This is very confusing. They could have not. Yeah, they could have not. They could have not been willingly talking about two actual women kissing in 1860. How would that even come about?

And like, why would this paper is trying to hit from every angle? So women will bang men. Oh, I see. I think you're right. But what about men? Can you imagine me trying to pick up a man in 1860? Like, what do I say? We're going to see. Excuse me, sir.

Would you Jolly a butt rogering? Like, I don't know. Or maybe it's the opposite way. Oh, oh, the things that I would do like I can see it now like a dating app and all the things that I would do to thy lady if she does not die giving childbirth like I don't know like what I imagine is hard to eat ass in a top hat. I mean that brings up a lot of logistical issues. Oh my god. You really got me. I really do want to go to 1863.

You need to. You're pointing out problems my brain couldn't even get to, but yes. If you are to each bottom, you shall take off thine top hat. Well, no, and then there's some guy who can't... he was just like, I call it the bottom carve out top hat. You can keep your top hat on while your face deep in cheek. Have a look at that, boys. I put the butt part at the back and when you're ready for ass munching, you just pop it around like yay. That's pretty good.

Oh, so let me introduce you to the stash bib. Don't ask to eat the ass. Good Lord. Did this that you have some great ideas if there was a shark tank in 1863, you would be selling those fucking as bibs. My fucking dream. I call it the spit shit house. It's the only crapper with a spittoon inside of it.

There you go. It's called the flap rack. Finally, eat pancakes off your worst bust! To correspondents and others, we solicit contributions and correspondence from all quarters, and when worthy, will be appropriately published. Our friends must write briefly, legibly, and on one side of the paper only, the real name of the author must accompany each communication as a guarantee of good faith." So people are writing in some of these.

That might be why it's so... Crazy? Insane? Yeah. Because it's... So this is basically, this is just a reader submitted paper so far to this... But also, how do they write in? Like, I don't think let's see what is 1863.

So was there a pony expert? No. Like, do you just write on a piece of paper and then drop it off and be like, put this in Raven's claw? Hope for the best. There you are. The Ravens like, I bet this is a note for the king, to let him know that the... No, it's just about how you should be able to suck face with a woman even if she gives you squint.

Oh, here's... They can't do it. The Copperheads are very anxious to crush us out and have given us any amount of trouble in various ways while we Were trying to get our little cult the Union in the traces But we are off now a whole team and if our friends will only stand by us as they ought to do We will be champion of the state of Delaware by Christmas. So copperheads are Democrats who did not want to fight in the war.

So they're peace loving Democrats going against their party Confederates. I think I'm going against the Confederates. Right. Because the parties were swarmed. They're Democrats. I thought copperheads were fish. They are that too. Just not here. Are they fish?

Yeah. I thought they were snakes. Oh, it's a snake. It's a poisonous snake. Huh, you think I know more about snakes than fish. Yeah, well... It's similar. Okay, I'm giving him copperheads, you see., the fish and well if I'm giving him copper had you see

that's so funny , yeah copperheads were so the Republicans called anti war Democrats copperheads anti war Democrats copperheads right for some reason we know not but maybe they're snakes in the grass or something. Yeah, they're supporting their support increase when Union armies did poorly and decreased when they won big victories. Well, can we at least say that the Democrats are consistent in the fact that

they'll say something they believe and then do so little to back it up and get rolled over? Why? I don't understand. The people willing to surrender. The demolition of Fort Sumter. So we're like two years into the war. A letter dated Morris Island. We're finally into the fact that the Civil War is going on. Is this on the back page? Yeah. We're finally into the fact that the Civil War is going on. Is this on the back page? Yeah.

Last page. Right next to the- This is where the sex worker numbers would be in the chronology of the paper that you were letting me look for. Yeah. Is this article in the war like right next to the comic strips? Yeah, right. Is there a Pean peanuts of 1863? Like, I would love with all those proverbs we heard,

I would love to see what a comic strip is. Just a version of Kathy just being like being grabbed by a man. And she's like, he just. Don consent. Take it. The People Willing to Surrender, The Demolition of Fort Sumter, a letter dated Morris Island, August 29, states that the rebel deserters, several of whom reach our lines every day, represent the people of Charleston, anxious to surrender the city.

The shelling process caused general surprise, General Beauregard having pledged his reputation that it was an impossibility and mere Yankee bravado. It has been ascertained that the first shell fired by the Marsh battery entered a house occupied by a number of officers, killing several and destroying the house. Wow.

This is such bigger news story. I mean, honestly, the framing of this paper is bonkers. Yeah, it really is boring me. Tell me how to get married. I know, right? Honestly, what it's done to me, too. Yeah, I am damaged by the beginning because I was so outraged and shocked by what was happening that now the Civil War, I'm like, and yeah, is it okay? A bunch of officers got bombed and the deserters say

there is but 25 men in Fort Sumter and then it will be blown up as soon as the attempt is made to take possession. And that did that happen, Dave? I don't know if that happened. I don't remember. I've heard of Fort Sumter. I've been there. Been there? Yeah. It's not. I don't think it's as good as it used to be. Did you get laid?

Took some day. Yeah, hell yeah, I did. You're allowed to grab a woman by her belt loop and do what you want. I came in with my copperhead, boys. That's right. We. Why they have riots in New York. So, draft riots.

Okay. I think we know then. Yeah. Pretty obvious. At an address recently delivered before the Young Man's Christian Association in New York, the following startling statistics were presented. This is why they riot. There are in New York 100,000 German infidels.

Wow. Okay. All right. Yep, the border. 350,000 persons who don't go to church. Dicey. 13,000 families without Bibles. 60,000 children who never attend school.

15,000 vagrant and hopeless children who graduate thieves and vagabonds. Okay, so this paper, very pro-war. And the Christian pro-war. They're like, if you were good Christians, you would not ride. You would go to war. Yeah. But how do they get that that that like census? How do they get those statistics like 13000 without Bible?

Yeah. Honestly. Yeah. It is. Yeah. Oh, yeah. They didn't know this. Yeah.

Because they are pretty insane. The numbers. Yeah. The numbers are crazy. Yeah. Right. this. Yeah, because they are pretty insane. The numbers. Yeah, the numbers are crazy. Yeah, right. OK. Yeah. 6,000 sailors in port all the time,

a floating population of 50,000, all sorts of bad. Floating population of 50,000? People living on boats. Oh, my god. That is not what I expected. That's crazy. You know, a floating population. Herman.

That's great. You know, a floating population. Merman. They live on lily pads. 50,000 on boats. I mean, maybe, you know. Even for that to be in the realm of possibility is amazing. Yeah. That honestly, that might be my vibe soon.

Yeah? Yeah, it might just be like, you know, just houseboat, houseboat, Gareth. Yeah. Just doc. Yeah. Just docked. Yeah, that's so easy. Just go to land for like your few, you know what I mean?

Just eat whatever I catch fucking right off the back of the boat. I'm able to get out of there real quick. Yeah. I mean, maybe get a vending machine in there. What for what table? I don't know, just snacks and whatever. Get some pretzels put in. You have but you're going to pay for your own snacks.

I don't know how the vending machine. I've never had the curtain peeled back, but I don't know how that works. I'm pretty sure it's just. Well, your idea is to have a vending machine on your own houseboat. So I'm wondering what the the guy fills it. I don't know if he's paid by the government or whatever. Might be a subsidy. What are you paying for the...

If you want crackers... Ideally, no. Oh, I'm putting money in it. Yeah, absolutely. I'm straightening out the bill on the edge of it and whatnot. Someone has a vending machine business on your boat that you own. Again, I don't really want to get into the behind the scenes of it all, but. Well, I kind of feel like we have to though,

because this is your dream. Ryan, do you have any questions about this process? No. Well, you know, the thing that. Ryan, Rob, sorry. I answered anything. The thing that I'm like equating this to is that I told you I'm living in Vegas, and Vegas is very weird.

There are people who are such gambling addicts that they've purchased their own slot machines and put them into their own houses. Oh, my God. So I'm talking about. So I'm talking about. Oh, my God. What do you hear? Jackpot. Yeah. Do you pay yourself?

What do you do? Do you just go to your like house? So this is the same thing. What are you two not understanding about feeling like you're winning at home? Yes, I am I'm getting a keys bar for 55 cents e2 Yeah, but you don't snack bingo asshole ordering food. No, I'm not the man's putting it in there. He's got the key It's the round little key putting it in there he's got the key it's the round little key. What are you talking about? I don't think you know anything works. I don't think you need to come visit my

awesome situation. Don't want to I think the boat smells. Good you're not getting a little bag of rolled goals or any doughnuts. I can just picture it getting stuck right now and then you have to shake the vending machine. No you don't. But then it shakes your boat and then your boat sinks. No, no, no, no, no. Look, we're gonna get back to the premise of the show in a minute, but let me clear a little thumb up for two naysayers.

You don't need to shake the vending machine. You take the boat out for a little while and nature not sit down for you. You are a boat idiot. And I wish we could go back in time and have Nelly write an article on you and your boat. You're probably you better believe Nelly's. Good Lord.

OK, more stats. Nelly will be like, you want that stack? Don't pay for it. Take it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Let him put his hand up there and steal the snacks off of the little slinky. Slinky. Slinky. Yeah. It'll rotate.

That technology was probably so fucking big in the vending machine world. What's the guys like? But they'll be able to shake it. That's so guys like, all right, wait, wait, wait. I think we're just we're running around in circles. And I think it's always like, wait, wait, wait. I think we're just, we're running around in circles. And I think it's, it was like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,

wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,

wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, can get rid, we can get rid of the bird that goes and takes it with his beak and drops it into the hole. We no longer need the vending bird. Wow. No more vending vultures. This is exciting. Yeah, this is awesome. All sorts of books in circulation and in any quantity.

I don't even remember what we were talking about to be quite honest. This is the list of what's right, why New York riots. Sorry, all sorts of bad books in circulation. So misinformation. So bad books being non-Bibles. Yeah, non-Bible. 92,000, oh, now they actually,

not actual stack, because it's a very, very specific number. 99,232 arrests by police last year three-fourths of which were traceable to drunkenness that's that you'd be proud of that yeah that's all right so much alcohol people having fun yeah six thousand places where liquor is sold twenty five thousand abandoned women keeping up their end of the so-called social evil. 2,500 brothels. Arrests in 1862 equaling one every nine. Commitments to prison one in every 22 of the entire citizenship.

The cost of crime, pauperism, and moral obliquity. More than 3 million this year. Half a million of people living in tenement houses, 25,000 persons living underground. Oh, that's like Vegas. That might be my new option. Yeah. Bless us. Talk about the riots. Isn't it a miracle that they don't have a riot every few minutes instead of one every 10 or 15 years? So he's basically saying people are poor. That's what he's saying. People are poor.

People are poor, drunk drunk and looking to bang. And they're not all in church. I no longer want to go back to 1860. I want to take someone from 1860 and drop them in New York right now. Right this minute. Yeah. And they had to change. How did these statistics hold up? Yeah. Yeah, seriously.

He ends up just loving Bubba Gump. You're like, look, I had a whole plan for your existence. I was fixing to go back to Bubba Gump today. That lady who let you in or not, she told me the wait was going to be an hour 45 because they were on a rush. What does that mean? I wanted you to go explore the city a little more. That Bubba Grump got the best seasoned fries and they'll let you put all those fixings on for

nothing. Look, I took you out of 1863 to get your take on modern day New York. The bathrooms in Bubba Grump are so different from the ones of my time. I could take you to bathrooms that were way better than that. I don't want to trust anything other than the shitter at Bubba Gump. Look at the menu, Ron. I've been here before. Ron, you have brought me into paradise and I could never repay you. There's like a thousand better restaurants right around here. We can go to Olive Garden.

Olive will never go to a garden of olives. Why would I do that? This place is full of shrimp. They can do it so many different ways. In my time, they were considered cockroaches, but it's one of the most versatile things on a menu ever. And did I tell you about the bathroom? The sink will wash your hands for you and it's a great place for ass cleaning too, Ron.

As long as they don't let the copperheads in here. Long as the copperheads don't come here, we'll be fine. Ron, I was fixing you and I could go live under that table back there. That way we don't have to wait for paradise every day. I'm mostly just thinking about an Italian, uh, Homer Simpson running through an olive garden, a garden of olives. That's what I'm stuck on now. Got a big black mustache. The draft in New York State, in Kingston, New York, the draft and seven hot districts

of Greene County were completed today. The best of order prevailed. The draft took place in Poughkeepsie today. The best of feeling prevailed. And in the evening, the conscripts paraded the streets, accompanied by a band of music. Among the drafted was the chief engineer

of the fire department and the editor of the Poughkeepsie. And so they're basically saying they're not New York animals. That's what they're saying. Yeah, they're like, oh, you've never felt better than getting drafted into a war, you idiots. There's a band. Yeah. Ha ha ha ha ha.

By the way, if you live in Poughkeipse now you'd be like, draft me. Draft me, please, draft me. For the love of God. Bread riot at Mobile, Alabama. Okay. Refugees who have lately arrived within our lines bring exciting reports of the terrible conditions of affairs in the South. One man who left a mobile on the fifth states that a terrible riot broke

out among the soldiers wives on the fourth. About 600 women and children collected on Spring Hill aren't with clubs and hatchets. Good. That's a that's a beautiful sight. Women and kids. Yeah. Yeah. And March. I mean, honestly, my dream would be for a kid with a hatchet to be like, buddy, I'm going to fucking hatchet kill you. But like right now, just snatch it away so fast.

Wait, you're old with a hatchet. So if a kid comes to you with a hatchet, you're going to take it from him and kill him. I thought you guys were going to get on board a little faster. Now it feels lonely over here. But yeah, I'd be like, I keep coming at you with a hatchet who's like going to kill you. What about just taking away and not kill him? I mean, this seems like nothing if you've been to like a mobile

waffle house at three in the morning. This is imagine dropping them now and putting them there see what happens. And Ron, it's unbelievable. The food they got in there, there the syrup they'll let you take as much as you can Stop bringing people back there without telling them what their mission is They marched through the principal streets carrying banners on which they're inscribed On which were inscribed bread or blood blood, bread or peace, et cetera. I'll have some piss.

I'll have some piss, piss, piss. I'll have the piss. Being soldiers' wives, their proceedings were winked at by the soldiers who made but a feeble resistance. Stores were broken open and forcibly entered. One merchant, a Jew, oh my God. Wow, we shall we. Let's all have a moment.

Holy fuck me. Jesus Christ. One merchant, a Jew, struck one of the women. Quit reading it. Some policemen who were present arrested the Jew and beat him severely. Oh my god. Well, I think they're trying to make a point here

that this gentleman was Jewish. They're being subtle about it. But the point is being made. But quick question. Was there a band? No band. After they beat him. Oh, my God. Baa-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da- And then many citizens have left town, among whom was our informant

who says the riot was increasing when he left. Well, yeah, people like that. Any informant was not a Jew. No, not Jew. No Jew Jew or Jew. Yeah. Page page four is Jew news. Yeah. Jews breaking Jews. no, no, no, no. Page four is Jew news. Yeah. Jews. Breaking Jews. Jew out of now. OK. OK.

We did. Oh, here's some. Sinbad the sailor. Ah, it is generally conceded now that most of the wondrous adventures of Sinbad during the seven voyages as related in the Arabian Nights entertainments are literally founded on facts. That's right. We can finally say that Sinbad was real and his adventures true. Sinbad lived in the eighth century and his voyage popularized... Imagine in 1863 being like, we can finally confirm something from the 18th century.

We have the technology now. A wizard sucked on Sinbad's bones and said they tasted real. So... Confirmed. There you go. Cyclops happened. Cyclops, real. Look at this skeleton. No eyes. Bingo. It is population Arabian. Oh no, I was just thinking like about how I can't wait for this article to end and be like, and in his in Sinbad's next life, he will be a stand up comedian. And wearing great one. Wearing bright clothes. Very great one. And a great one. Wearing bright clothes, very colorful.

A great one. I did a gig once in like Alabama. And it was like, man, it was like seriously like 30 people there. And then after the show, the GM of the club, we just, I don't know, I don't remember his name. But me and the staff of that club partied so fucking hard that the next day I left and I was like, who were they? What just happened? Like we ordered a, we smoked, we were just, it was crazy.

But he was like, you know, the one guy who's never had a bad set and you can ask any club manager anywhere, Sinbad is like never bombed. And that was like a night when I bombed, I was like. It's time for the Sinbad talk young comedian. Yeah, I was like, cool mister. I love when they give you like, I was just at a gig last weekend and a customer comes up to me and goes, Oh,

you're here this weekend. I'm like, yes. And they're like, Oh, I thought it was supposed to be. And they named a comic and I made a joke. I'm like, well, I hope you're not looking for smart jokes because that's what that comic does. And that's not what I have. And on the way out, that guy comes up to me and goes, Oh, no, your stuff was pretty good.

You had three smart jokes. I'm like, Oh, thanks. Thanks for counting. I'm glad you're keeping a tally on that. Thank you. Sometimes the in-person yelp they'll give you is like the most painful thing ever. Well, and then it gets worse because I got home and the next day they found me on social media and then told me that they were an aspiring

comedian and do I have any advice for them and I just wrote I wrote write smarter. Oh You know that is great that's actually great for that because that means they were not coming from the John Q customer Standpoint they were, I'm awesome. Yeah. Good words. Yeah. I always enjoyed that instant feedback. Was that the end of a Sinbad day?

I don't know. It's popularized in the book Arabian Nights, is related in an Arabic book which was translated into French by M. Langlis and published in Paris in 1848. I just would love to cut to like a producer just like the truth is not a lot of people talked about the Arabian days. In his third voyage, as popularly told, Sinbad was attacked by hideous dwarves about two feet high and covered in red hair.

Oh, come on. Why are they coming to me? Two feet, two feet high and covered in red hair. Leprechauns, bro. Yeah, it doesn't. It turns out. It turns out the story with Sinbad killing leprechauns was real.

It turns out that the inhabitants of the Ataman Islands in the Bay of Bengal are dwarfs whose full height is four feet five inches and their average weight only 76 pounds. They are not covered in red hair, but are painted over with red okra and oil. These aptly correspond with the Pygmies. 1863 debunking is my fetish now. I don't know what just happened. I have to be really honest. Well, they basically were like, it's a crazy story they told you about Sinbad.

But modern science now lets us know that those dwarves were four feet tall and they weren't at all covered in orange moss. No, someone just painted them with okra. It's not. It's I love stories like like from this time and what? What? Like I was in Iceland and they were like, hey, hey, hey, this field is it's like like littered with like, like dwarves and mystical creatures that are all hiding.

And then when you least expect it, they're gonna like tell stories and do songs. And then, you know, why they say that is because it literally said, oh, a girl with mental illness was roaming this field on her own and she heard all of this. So now it must be true. So 200 years later, this is definitely true because a girl with mental illness heard it is just overlooks the waterfall.

By the way, that is haunted by a ghost dog. And they say because the dog is a ghost, he blows the waterfall off course every day. And I go, yeah, it could also be wind. Wind can do that too. Did you take a waterfall tour? Did you take a waterfall tour? Not a tour tour, but I went and explored many waterfalls and I looked up, I got like a whole guide and I like found a hidden waterfall on my own that I had to like, I had to go over rocks and rivers. Yes, I definitely did. That right, that's what matters.

This waterfall here was blown by a tourist. They say don't go chasing waterfalls, but I didn't listen because I'm a rebel. I went, I went. No rivers and lakes that you're used to. Ron, thank you for being our left eye and joining us on this episode. Couldn't appreciate it more. I gotta say,

a real banger from bowling to the end, top notch stuff. Please come back and congratulations on the bowling. I'm not gonna lie. That was awesome. But you're the best. Thank you. Any parting words?
