Squarespace got me pregnant. That's not okay to say for sure. What do you mean? Well, I'm just thinking about what they would be okay with, and that's certainly not gonna be on the list.

Oh, okay. So, it's also the template. I'm not supposed to be this crunchy.

Yeah, why do the episodes start? You can jump in. We are also brought to you in part by Helix. Helix, of course, a mattress company. Helix sleep. It's what we both sleep on. You and I sometimes together sometimes apart. Never been to the other.

We I have the dusk looks together. We, I have the desk looks. That's what I have too. So yeah, but that's why I wait so he's asleep at his other places. And it comes to your house in a box, you order it. It doesn't just come, like you have to order it. I didn't see anyone drop it off. And then, and then, it comes in a box

and you open it up and it comes to life. Yep. It's like watching. Room would you like me and master? That's then, it comes in a box and you open it up and it comes to life. Yep. It's like watching... Room would you like me and master? That's right, it talks. Yeah. And it does call you master. Yeah.

But it's a bed, so a master bed, so that just makes sense. Yep. I've had mine for like five years now. It's been a while. I think I've had mine for less, but it's amazing. I sleep really well on it. My wife sleeps well on it. The dogs, the horse, going on a three-chilla. Neverland range. Three-chinchillas and of course the dogs. But everybody

sleeps really great on that. You have a son's teller. Is that over? I don't know what that is. Is your son over? Yeah. No, he's still alive. Oh, okay. That's interesting. Adds taking a weird turn. So what you do is you go to the helix sleep, take the quiz, and then it runs you through high-faceted quiz. Yeah, it was hard to do, almost impossible. Yeah, I'm like, study harder. So I just run to you like, do you sleep hot or cold?

How do you sleep? Like I sleep on my face, you sleep on your testicles. And we all sleep differently. And so it'll run you through what's the best mattress for you. And then it comes and it loves you. Yeah. You're my father. Not bad, you can get helix. Like I got the firm dust lux and I sleep on my tum tum.

Crazy. That you're a grown man, it's crazy. So it's a much better mattress than I've ever had. I sleep like a baby, which is saying I sleep like you. Yeah, in a diaper. And then there's also a warranty, 10 or 15 year warranty, depending on the model, it's all happening. So look, he looks as offering 20% off all mattress orders

and two free pillows for our listeners. to helix sleep.com slash dollop This is the best offer yet and it won't last long with helix better sleep starts now tomorrow. Oh, no. Sorry now So we're doing another one Another lost well here's what happened. I started writing. I wrote an episode I was pretty much almost done. I was like, boy, a lot of this seems really familiar. How are we gonna come back? There's so many episodes.

But this is like a librarian being like, wait, I bought the same book five times. There's like a system in play. Well, I thought, honestly, I thought like, I thought I had done some of it and like, and I was taking a part of a story and blowing it up. Sure. Okay.

So it was basically a journey on a ship. Changing, right? It was just a ship journey from A to B. And then I realized, oh, I covered a lot of that during the. And we did this episode. Oh, yeah. You would do in the Rubin, you would like, oh, it's actually gonna be about the ambulance driver.

It's like, oh, no, no, I'm just doing the Rubin again. I thought I was gonna do the Mayflower, but just the journey from point A to point B, not the other stuff of how they got on the ship and what happened afterwards. And then I realized I covered too much of it in the original. Oh, okay. So we're not even talking about the Mayflower. We did an episode on the Mayflower?

Exactly. Yes, but it was number 35. So it was like old, it was like old old. Yeah, hold So so I I Grab one that we had recorded so we recorded this in Denver and right before we went on stage the Theater said we had to sign or we had to get a million dollar Insurance policy for recordings, which is easy to get. To ensure you against what? Click some pups. Getting one for the sound engineers out there.

Us saying something, getting them sued. Which should against the theater for something we said. Which is bullshit. Well, also I feel like Lenny Bruce would be like, why? Like we settled that already I thought. And also you bring that up when you book the gig, not right before.

Yeah. So we ended up not releasing this and we're just gonna record it again now. But if anyone has any issues with what we say on this episode, Sue, wherever we did this in debtor. Yeah, whichever place that was, which I can't remember. It has to say.

The place we won't be back to. Yeah, especially if I say something messed up. Yeah. Which I will happen because you're Australian and you, you're rude people. Yeah. And that makes sense. Like you're, you're, you say think terrible things. You use the seawort a lot. I say, yeah, I say the seawort and I wake up in the morning. I scream the seawort. Yeah. Yeah. I will live in seaworld. So this is Dean's taught. Yeah, November 2nd 1860 year of our Lord

J. Town stop sending me J. Town Welcome to J. Town by the way is J. What stop? I'm asking people to no longer tag me in J town stuff people Everybody loves J-Town, the kids love J-Town. So if you don't wanna get with it, then just say I'm old. But the kids love J-Town.

Okay. By the way, he's been long boarding. I think that's what he was doing last time. I think, no. What was he doing last time? Sorry, I'm sorry. He was just starting to skateboard. He was just grinding a little bit,

but now he's like, he's long-bording. Right, okay. Without a helmet. Well, it's probably stupid. It's not stupid, he's J-town. Like, can he get hurt? Yeah, he died of a cross. I don't think so.

I don't think that happened. He came back though. Thank you. I don't think that's the time. Thank you, Tom. How many times did you reckon he came back? Well, yeah, so you think he was crucified, put in the hole, and then came out and what happened?

And then... So wait, is that what happened? You guys, you guys, are those, is that the chronology? I'm just gonna put out there. This is a pretty well-known story. I've only heard it in chunks. You know when you're watching something out of order?

That's how I did that. So he got crucified, he went in the hole, he made wine in there. And the last supper. He was a carpenter, he built some stuff. He came out here to leper. He forgave a lawyer or something. Bang, he gave that he bang banged Eve, killed Abel. Jefferson Randolph Smith was born in Calata County, Georgia.

As far as I was a lawyer, the Civil War ruined his family financially. Okay, which is how you're gonna use it? Yeah, I was gonna use it. Not the right side. Yeah. Yeah, I might have to pay for workers. Well, we lost all of our money. What was it? We owned people. Yeah. Oh, a big part of our business model was slave labor. It's good. It'll come back. So they moved around Rock, Texas in 1876, and Jeff studied to become a Baptist minister at first.

But then instead he became a cow puncher. So he gets a hard right turn. Yep. Uh-huh. He just fucking hit him. That is what this is. It's punching. It's probably just cowboy,

but they call them cow punches. Oh, okay, right. Dave, if you had one good hit on a cow to sort it out, where would you throw a punch? Right in the schnoss. Right in the face, yeah. Yeah, sure. And the schnoss.

Right? We're supposed to do the sharks, yeah. Where would you hit a cow? Probably would be like, let him be. No, no, you got to hit the cow. I'd hit you for making a move. You wanted a percent have to hit the cow. Yeah.

Tail. I hope the cow kills you. Right the end too, where it gets kind of like muppety. Yeah, I hope it kills you. Yeah, it's fluffy. He didn't tell. I'd hit it in just like the mate just the side mate, you know? Because you see now like Rocky like runs up the stairs and like hits the cow.

Yeah, those aren't alive. The cow is there. Yeah, the one where he runs upstairs. Yeah, the one where he runs upstairs. He's like, what? He's like, what? He's like, what? He's like, what? He's like, what? He's like, what? He's like, what? the one where you're at. So many cows are in moons. In the rocky you're watching he runs upstairs and there's a cow. He punches the cow.

Yeah, that's the end of the fight. Am I not for the chronology again? Yeah, he runs up the stairs. He punches the cow in the nose. So many cows are in moons like this. But so. So he didn't tell us his people his father was a serious drunk or that his mother worked at a hotel.

I was a famous, I was embarrassed by my god damn father who dreams. He's like, shut the fuck up. He's more. He's more. And it is very funny. And he's like, God. Shamed him, I drunk dad always make him a mistake

and my mother helping with bags and reservations. Wait a minute, your mom's a hotel woman? Oh, ha ha ha ha ha! What did she check at people in? Dad's eating dog poo. Look, this is a cheeseburger. Don't I have spoken to you, mother? She's gonna stop embarrassing me!

You're my great chamber of this family, land! Uh, his mother worked at a hotel, quote, famous for a foul mouth mouth parrot caged on the front porch Flock a fucking self-pitch. I just I'm not I'm not looking to my asshole I don't remember it to my asshole Someone's come up to be like welcome to my asshole. Welcome to my assholes. Fuck it say it say it We're just trying to get him to say some of the street names. What are you doing over there? Asshole? trying to get him to say some of the street names. What are you doing over there?

Asshole, suck my asshole. Suck my asshole. Get fuck with it. Eat my balls, Liam. Rock, suck my asshole. Rock, rock. Got a pimple on my anus. Rock, rock, my cock is hard.

We got to still putting the pirate in your room gym. Rock, rock. Why won't my neck work? Rock. His mother died in 1877. Mother died and hate to go. So Jeff had a very soft southern accent, courtly manners, which made people think he was a man of honor. Yeah, we're so stupid.

It's just like when people want to have a beer with the president. Like, how about just get a smart person to do it, but instead we're like seems pretty cool So the guys just like that's right. Yeah, of course. We're here to round up all the Jews people god so it's perfect In 1879 Jeff left town and started Nandering okay, I'm all for a meander and started meandering. Okay, I'm all for a meander. Oh, it's about time I become a drifter. What's he doing?

He's all thrown in the end here. I'm gonna go ahead and just walk around here. I see Zicking and Zeggy. And then I'm gonna walk around here. I'm gonna get thirsty. And then I'm gonna walk around here. Rob, he's got a warrant on his deck. Oh, God, what I bring that.

Rob, we're dying. One evening he heard the sounds of a caliope, which is what you're a musician. Sounds kind of like this. Ah! Ah! Ah! That one's in the room.

It's a subtle one. I think it's North Quebecian. Yeah, interesting. Yeah, interesting. Yeah. Interesting. He had his before. Yeah. Yeah.

Oh, that's a star and also the muse of the Greek music. Is the effect that Aaron is now pointing out? He's right. He's right. But that we've just like a hurricane. Oh yeah, Oregon. Right, I remember this. Yeah.

Yeah, I did it again. I'm talking to Miss Presley again. So he was me and doing around and suddenly someone obviously a a Janey or something like that comes out of the blooms yeah so we're gonna call it still called a Kelly Ope thank you we're gonna pretend it's a wild dope like Aaron said it's an organ type thing I know what an organ type thing means so he follows it to the circus, which is the circus that's where the music's coming from. Sure, nothing else to do. It doesn't take a long, it doesn't take a long to get a job there. That's amazing. That's how

that's how circus is work. You just show up and are like, hey you alone. We're looking for me anders. Well boy, you're young, huh? Would you like to? Yeah, they size you up like, I guess you could be a murmur, man. Well, you look like a shithead weirdo. You're gonna be the gill boy. What? What about an acrobat? Wait a second, what did your mother do?

I don't talk about her. My father was a shit house and drunk. Well, come on in. My mother passed away when I was young. Boy, boy. There's something I gotta tell you. Boy, you smell like hotel. Well, you carry them bags pretty well, boy.

Well, just from watching from afar, sir. Rock, his mom worked in a hotel. I can't bear it. Why do I keep this parrot on my head? Rock. So, his boss, who was named Clubfoot Hall, and I'm assuming it's because he had a club foot. It better be.

He was a member of a very distinguished club. Yeah. We have to come to Clubfoot. What is the password? Foot. We have to come. You're regular table. He teaches Jeff how to persuade people into placing bad bets.

So you're gonna work in the persuasion table? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, man, you got a 20, I'd hit. Yeah. Yeah. He encouraging those already making bad bets

and the value of paying off local sheriffs. So he is kind of in like everyday clothes probably pretending to be like, well, he's going to dress like a clown, we'll instill TV like, well, I'd suggest maybe you want to make a better bet there, sir. There's a clown in terrible in cards. Well, if I have to come down there and teach him myself. Yeah. So he's basically in a crime school.

Right. Yeah. So then next team, when he leaves circus, he moves on to Leadville, Colorado, which is a booming mine town. And people are drifting through, which is perfect to call them. But then the civil runs out, so he moves to Denver in 1881. Okay. But he did it over the con. He's clapped.

There, he came up with a soap-selling con. So, oh wow. It's not a con, you should buy soap. Well, do you need it? Yeah, fair enough. Rock, it's hair. Oh my God, damn it, that's banana. Dressed in a white shirt, black tie tie and a wide black brimmed hat, he would pull out a stand

in briefcase at the train station. He wrapped bars of soap with paper money from a dollar to a hundred dollars and then wrapped it in a bag. We're a massive debt. We can't figure out why this business model's not working. Two thousand dollars today, there's all the lot of soap. So then he wraps the soap in the money and then wraps that in plain paper. What's an order?

And then he mixes the money wraps soaps with regular soap. Okay. And he'd hold up a bar, a soap, right,-huh and ask how much how much will you pay for this and His men would just start bidding so his guys hidden in the crowd He'd go up to $40 and one of them would win And you take the soap and he unwrap it in front of everybody and hold it up. It's a hundred dollar bill right So the next round of bidding

They wouldn't need any right now everyone's in well but he had hold it up, but it's a $100 bill. So the next round of bidding, they would need any of his guy. And now everyone's in. Well, that's organic. This seems amazing. There's a guy at the trade station. Who's the video? $150.

Any parallel at all for this, so is it just literally someone's like, well, they're selling soap again. Well, there's a guy down at the station selling soap with money wrapped around it. Why? It's just how it works. I might buy a hot dog, there might be a diamond in it.

Yeah. If you ask in a bunch of those questions, you're going to lose money on the soap buying business. So he would just keep doing it until the crowd got really angry. And then he'd bail. It feels like there's no more $100 It's really crazy now But he got the nickname so be Smith. Yeah, that's great. You do one so post. Yeah But you should be able to drop that nickname. It feels like he was like that's good. He did he probably liked it

Yeah to be able to drop that nickname, it feels like he was like, that's good. He did, he probably liked it, yeah. So he starts a gang and he has people working all over, cons all over Denver. Sure. He would pay barbers and they would nick the next of rich customers, which was signaled they're right for the digging. So any guy with a nick on his neck,

they'd be like, okay, I'll take that guy out. I over-nicked. This guy probably won't work anymore. He's a dead man. Hey Jimmy, why are you covering blood? I'm doing really well. We're trying to take some of the guys from money, but I cut eight throws.

I told you to just nick, don't go so deep. I know, I guess I don't know what a nick feels like. Yeah, you go deep. Yeah, I started I like that guy's wife like this is an eight inch cut across this road. Yeah, we split his throne Yeah, that's a murder and his wife wait what I thought she'd be the right for the pick and wait a minute She'd be a perfect mark. Did she see you killer husband? Yeah, yeah, they all did so I had to get rid of them all of them. Yeah, how There's 30 bodies Only two of them were great marks

You're asking a lot of questions. No, I'm I'm like your son. I'm your boss All right, yeah, you're fine. I'm not gonna okay Yeah, yeah, you're fine, I'm not going to. Okay. So he's making a lot of money and he opens up the Travoli Club in 1885. Two patrons soon after sued the club for swindling them out of $1,500. Soapy's defense was that the club operated under false pretenses. Soapy, what do you have to say about that? Well, we're just, we're a bullshit place.

Like, we're not trying to, you know, be on the up and up. Our whole thing is like, fuck you, we're taking your money. Like, it's the, we're pretty. All right, let's see around. Soapy. I gotta say, thanks for calling me Soapy as well. I really appreciate you running my name. What do I know how I got it?

Nope. No one does yet. One day. Operator false priest tenses in order quotes to cure the compulsive gambler of his urges. So someone goes in there to be like, I'm losing a lot of money. He's like, we're're gonna get through gonna save you By by taking all their money. Yeah, and oh that's oh god. He's saying he's helping them out. Right. They can't lose anymore Yeah, yeah, you see you gotta stop drinking so we're gonna cut your arms off. Yeah, and saw your mouth

Yeah, right and he said he should quote be recognized as a public Benefactor praise instead of censures should be our portion soapy was really wild. And he also had, he said in court that he had a sign in the club, caveat emptor, which translates to let the buyer beware. So he said, I have to sign in Greek is pretty clear.

Yeah, for anyone who speaks Greek in this club. For all these people who are just illiterate and can't even read English. They can't read English, you've got some Greek up here for them to read. There's one guy in the back that's like, oh boy, I've got to get out of this place. What the am I going to do?

He was found guilty. I couldn't figure out what his sense was or what happened. Right. One night at a Vodville theater, so he saw a gambler backhand, a woman, Mary Nune. Was this a meatcute? It's just par for the course. Okay, sure. He went up and knocked the guy out and then walked her home.

Oh, that's good. Well, shibori. And that's the end of the story, don't you imagine? Right, he's trying to bang! They ended up getting married and would have three kids. Oh, wow. Now, she has no idea how how soapy is making his money. They live in a-

We're allowed to aspect then? Well, they live in a very fancy, respectable part of town. He gave her, like he says, he owns the club or whatever. Oh, sure. And he kept his family away from knowing the truth because his gang didn't con any locals on the people traveling through.

Okay. So the owner of the Glass Eye Detective Agency, mm-hmm, that's right. Okay. We look closer than anyone at the time. We can't. We can't see. That's right.

Glass Eye. Glass Eye. That's the worst name for Detective Hicks ever. Let's take a closer look. I was thinking of blinding one eye, but I went with glass eye. If you look closely here, you could see what I can't. I'm thinking clean eye detective agency.

And no eyes. No eye. No eye detective agency. The touch and detective, we only use our touches. We're smelling. Oh my God, it's dark detective agency. Smell this corner. Oh, it's crying. It's crying, I mean smell this corner

Grab this corner. I think He eats in the owner of the glass had detective agency started I'm the guy who looks the ground Ground looking beat he's sold five murders this day. It's right Someone walked over here. Oh, how does he know that had to have been? Well, he loves he does it with a smile on his face does. I'm gonna need to take another break. Thank you, Lord. They started telling people he had given Sopia whipping. Okay.

So the owners, yeah, I wouldn't do that. So Sopia is not happy with this. And he went with some men to the agency to confront the guy, but he's not there. There were three employees there. Salt Lake Herald quote, one of them made an imp- Salt Lake Herald is not a nickname of a guy, right? Salt Lake Herald. But my friends call me Bill. Salt Lake Herald. Salt Lake Herald. Hello.

You want to call Sophie nice? You're dead man, get the globe, get all the globe. Tell my wife I'm not insane! Come on! Let her know you're gonna die for the world! Put her in your tongue! Put it in your paper! Make it in the crossword, glue! The sound of his walking stick hitting skull could be heard in the printing room outside the office. Hey, did it that sound like stick to skull? I have no one anywhere.

No, it sounded like cro- cro- cro- cro- kay. I don't know, that sound like stick to skull? I have no one anywhere. No, it's not that cro- cro- cro- okay. I don't know. That sounded very stick to skull. I don't know. Is there- is there a pinata in there? I can't be able to pinpoint that sound. But that was- that was skull and stick. But nobody asked oh Jacob, I'm just doing my prints and- Yep. By the time people pulled soapy off a bloody arkins was laying face down on the floor, but not dead Okay, so he was charged with assault and released on a thousand dollar bond a thousand dollar bar So he realized all the negative publicity meant his time in Denver was done Right couldn't't control himself.

So he's like, we got to move. I beat that man so badly we're moving. Just so you know. Now, honey, I know a lot of people said I'm nuts. Don't listen to the gossip in the red. Now pack your stuff. I almost killed the man with a cane. So we got to go to a different state.

He sent his family to St. Louis to live with Mary's mother and he left the day after his family did and settled in Creed Colorado. So he sends them, he sends them all to St. Louis. He's like, I'm also moving to a city pretty close by. A difference it. Yeah. So he wants that he wants the like, I'm a road soap man. Or he knows he's got kind of got a bit like it's not going to be a great life. Yeah, that's what I mean. He's like his family needs. It's kind of like mob life.

Yeah. Right. So Creed wasn't really even a town yet, but kind of a mining camp. So the so the commits is down on their luck. Mine owners to sign over a controlling interest of their mind and then he would give them a bad check also uh... topso i was really i kind of want to be a hero he was like half-half at this point but yeah now it's bad always did he so

yeah uh... so the land parcels are being auctioned off to raise funds for school buildings. Soapy had really hot women bid for them. Oh wow. And what is, I mean, so that just makes, what is that, that makes the guys be like, what? I don't know why, oh, they think that hot women are going to move to the town. That's what I thought, okay.

So the guys like, I'll take the pot right next to the sun. Sweet lady, if you don't mind, so be it. And then he gets there's like, where's that, but it was a little lady. Because it seems like a bit of a sausage best all of a sudden, and I'm just wondering, it was supposed to be nine women who bought plots right next door. It's the same rules as getting into a club,

but it's like we let the hot chicks in when the guys come in. Yeah. Out of towners would start bidding, but then Sylvie's men would start yelling, quote, give it to the woman, don't overbid her. And the out of towner would stop and Sylvie would get the land.

Oh, okay, right. Yeah, okay. Go my God. You guys think, the land. Oh, okay. Right. Yeah. Okay. Oh my god. You guys think, well, I guess I can. I don't want to help a lady. I'll do it. Give me that one.

It was a band. He became the largest property owner in Crete. Wow. Stanley opened the Orleans Club which had a free buffet of hard boiled eggs and vats of pickled pigs. Free gas! Free gas here! And pickled pigs.

Free wrenching cramps! You're totally ignoring the pickled pigs trotters. Oh, that's snout. No, the feed trotters. Feed trotters, feed, yeah. Oh god, yeah, that makes sense. Pickled. Well, I mean, what would you rather, rock?

No, I mean, that's, why was that the option? I mean, could be cooked. Yeah, could be cooked. Could be cooked. So it's just raw and pickle. Yeah, that's a pickle this. You just throw, I don't think you don't cook it before you pick it.

It like cooks in vinegar. I think it does, yeah, it kind of partially cooks in there. So it's just gross though. Well, it's not great without question. An incredible gimmick for a gross though. Well, it's not great. An incredible gimmick for a club though. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. Just go over to Barron, plug some pigs, feed you.

Oh, eggs and toes. The men of Adu. So for some reason women are finding me extremely unappealing. Let me get me. It's not to smell. Yeah. Author Howard Bloom quote, the games were rigged, the decks were stacked,

and the food was so unappetizing that it lay untouched until it turned a dingy gray similar to the color of the cliffs outside. So his place was so unattended that it camouflaged with the mountains? No. The food. Oh, the food became so.

The food turned right. This is what I like to dick in. Yeah. Oh, my eggs are lazy and my toast cliff. You know, man, eggs and toast. But still, 400 miners would pack in every night because of the gambling. Yeah, right.

The gang's only rival was Bob Ford who had killed Jesse James 10 years before. He's still living off the fat of that. Yeah. You want to autograph him? What? That is amazing to be walking around like, that's right, I'm the guy that killed that other guy.

And I was like, keep him out in public. Well, people didn't like, he was like considered to, because he shot back. He was considered like a Bob Ford. Was, okay. Yeah, he killed him. Shoot him in the face if he was like considered a, because he shot back. He was considered a Bob Ford. Yeah, he killed him. Shoot him in the face if he was like a man. Yeah. Yeah.

Smith got Ford under control, rigged the election, picked the police chief and the executive council, and appointed every official from judge to corner. This all happened in just three months. Oh. So he fully stacked the town in his- I mean, it's just like, welcome to stupid town. Yeah.

Just hot women like, I want to be the judge. I want to be the judge. Ha ha ha ha. Why is that judge in a bikini? I want to be the judge. I want to let this ass hold me the corner. This beautiful woman's interested in that position. So he totally controls the town.

He misses his wife and children, but Cree does not a place for a family. So now he becomes moody. I like that it's not a place for if he's in charge of every aspect of the family to a town like this. I hope the guy who runs his place is a total asshole. He's a asshole. He's a cane to skull for him. A friend rolled into town and asked permission

to open a gambling hall and so be gave it, but then started thinking how wrong it was for a friend who asked him to do this. So he's like, yeah, for sure. And then he's in his office like, man, that's actually really mad. Yeah. We've all done it.

And someone's been like, hey, can I bring like three people to the party? Like, yeah, he's sort of like, what the party? Like, yeah, he's so good. Is that a line? What the fuck is Bobby doing? Is that a line? I'm gonna kill Bobby. I guess I'm gonna slit his fucking throat.

I'm gonna kill Bobby. Becrack his head with my walking stick and my neck, Nick. He decided there was only one thing to do. Kill Bobby for. Kill him. Kill Bob Ford. Kill the guy who killed Jesse Jane. Just shoot him in the back of people like that's okay So so be hired an ex-martial to do the job

Just still not feeling normal for it's like so be hired a hitman So be so be the cartoon That's all Bob Ford died. He did kill him. Yeah, wow. Yeah So so be starts going off the deep end. He bought, I was wondering if he was gonna lose though. He bought McGinty, which was a petrified man.

He bought McGinty, which was him. McGinty, okay. Petrified man, McGinty, weighed about 400 pounds. And the town paper reported Sobie bought McGinty for 3,000 from a prospector who found him in the hills. Sorry, just go ahead. So I know the score of the game we're talking.

Yes. He's a 400 pound petrified man. That's correct. Meaning he's passed on. And he's now just kind of been sort of contained. There's sort of he's stone. Dake who poshed. How's he put on? Yes, so petrified.

I turned his tone. Yeah, Petrified Stone. He's turned a stone. Yeah, he's not scared. No. This is a really big, scared guy in my group. I thought a terrified man up in the hills. Please don't hurt me, don't hurt me. I'm going to sell you to the main stone. Petrified, he's turned a stone.

OK. All right. Medusa style. Right. Yeah, that's how it happened. Yeah, right. The Greek signed before attracted a few of the gold and said. Who's this?

Oh my God! That paid $3,000 for this guy. I'm never gonna stop you, it's all worry. I really like the scared man you brought me this week, but I'm wondering do you have anyone kind of more anxious so I can bad to my collision? That is scared as he was when he first got here. I'm really getting comfortable.

I actually... This is great! He's become a bit jo he was when he first got here. We're really getting comfortable. He's actually, business great. He's become a bit jovial, which I'm not a little enough with. Can I get a couple more beers? Stop asking for that. It's supposed to be terrifying. Maybe we go out tonight and get some more steak. You're stopped talking to me. I got a bunch of scared guys back down,

and they're my friends down the mine. Where will they stay scared? Hmm, I don't know, maybe. I saw obviously this was a lie. So be had McGinty made by a company in California that specialized in Egyptian petrification. So McGinty was just a skeleton covered in cement. And so be displayed him. And for 25 cents one could view McGinty and there was a lion out the door and down the street

Would you look at that? Look at that stone man. Holy moly. You know, that's what's underneath the skit What's a rock roll golem? So be decided to move back to Denver and he felt it had been a long enough time since it's a crime. I don't know. I didn't put that in here. I should have.

So there was now a big anti-corruption push by the governor, David Bloody Bridal's wait. Oh, Jesus. And now that's just David's brides. I'm not going to fuck with that guy. Wait appointed man to positions to stop corruption, but the city had to accept them. And the people being replaced refuse to leave. Okay. Nice. Wait threatened to bring out the militia. And Denver's mayor created a militia of 200 outlaws

and Denver's mayor created a militia of 200 outlaws led by Sopie, who was now being called Colonel Smith. What a transformation. Dr. Sopie, yeah, I really love what's going on here, guys, but I was wondering if we could change Colonel Sopie. It would be great. I've cultivated that name for what, 20 years? Permission to come over there, Colonel Soapy. What about Colonel Smith?

Mm, little mature. By mid-March, Denver was under martial law. The state militia marched on City Hall and Soapy's militia guarded it and threatened to use dynamite, and it was a standoff. Wow. It seems like Soapy's side's pretty good. Yeah, I mean after a while a compromises reached and the troops with Drew And the governor's appointments would have to be approved by the state Senate

So that's what they agreed to okay like a process and they were and soon bootlegging and gambling were made illegal in Denver Damn so soapy like We got a roll gambling were made illegal in Denver. Damn, so soapy like this. Oh, son of a bitch. We got a roll. Shortly after. I'm gonna talk one more for you after. I feel like rock, I'm hot, I'm hot, I'm hot. Shortly after Soapy and his brother killed a saloon owner

and his brother was arrested and jailed and Soapy skipped town. What was his brother's, his brother was a resident jailed in soapy skipped town. What was his brother? His brother's like, Bayon Sucks, and we're gonna have to quake you. Thank you, brother. You met him sticking around. Probably gonna spend some time in jail for murder.

So he stops at about two different places and then he reads a newspaper article about gold being found in Alaska. And he gets the gang together and they head for Skagway Alaska. Hmm. On foot. Beautiful. This time, he gets gorgeous. Well, I did. I don't think there's anything to do it. I mean, they ride each other. Oh, they ride each other. They take turns. Yeah. Go that. It's never so. He's yeah, it's never. He's always brightening everybody and everyone's like,

really awesome. So a British army officer quote, it is little better than hell on earth. Nice. That's a sign when you come in, little better than hell on earth. But that's a British army officer, British all like, it's a bit sunny.

Like, oh, it burns my skin. Little better than hell on earth. It's actually not that bad. it burns my skin a little better than hell It's actually not that bad. I know I've always been a big news. I've slept in a dark room with a cup of tea on my forehead for the entire life Bliss He said at night the voices of singers mingled with shouts of murder, Christ for help and the crackle of gunshots You're gonna like this next one. This next one is called St. Parade. We are all on parade looking for the same.

Oh God, oh, we are all on parade looking for the same. I wonder if they'll do in the abba. St. Parade, oh my God, that hit. We are all, oh God. There's only one marshal and a deputy in the entire region. Okay. And Sopi took five of his gang with him to start, including Reverend Charles Bowers,

who had memorized all the secret handshakes of fraternal orders like the mason's and odd fellows, and then he used that to meet men getting off the train and guide them into soapy solos. Oh, high hand shake expert. And he's a reverend. And he's a reverend. But I mean, they're a pretty genius, the fucking shit.

Like he started out selling a dumb soap thing. But all these things that he does, he's like, oh, that's a good idea. But if you're just a regular guy, like, we had hand shake. Never mind. That's right. I shake your hand and tickle, tickle, tickle, tick's a good idea. But if you're just a regular guy, like, we had hands. Never mind. It's right. I shake your hand and tickle it with my hand. Oh, he's a pervert. Did we need a pervert, guys?

I got a bunch of guys who like the little dingle, like Reverend. We've told you to find Mason. Soapy, we got really good. We got two masons and 98 perv. This guy's petrified. Well, the odd fellow, shake as you walk up, you shake their hand, you reach down, cup their balls and wink. It's called the Stallone. Can you imagine that guy trying to get on the team though?

They're like, do you have any hand-to-hand combat? You know how to count a fit money or anything. Well, I've studied the Bible and I know five different handshakes. My God, you're in. Welcome aboard. In dispensable. Yeah. And also, you're welcome aboard. Indispensable. Yeah. And also, they're like, you swear to God,

that's the Mason handshake? Yep. Yep, yep, yep. He's just walking, he's shaking people's hand. They go, I'll give you five bucks if you just follow me, please. Wait, you whisper to that guy. He would still take a regular handshake,

and you whisper something. Don't you worry. I'll give you five bucks if you just don't ask any more questions, please. Fine, all right, man. It didn't take long for so be to control the town a new gang member was yeah Mo Hopkins. Yeah, Mo Your name is yeah mo. Yeah

He could throw a hatchet across the room with deadly accuracy. Yeah, really, it was what he was like. It's really becoming like Ocean's 11. All right, he could throw a hatchet across the room with deadly accuracy.

Nice. And now shake their hand. Whatever it is, relax. Just get the fucking chuck in a hatchet across the room. Anyone want to know how the bow ribbons shake hands? Look at the shake-hand boys. All right. Don't let me get the other one out.

Yes, he's doing that. I think that, though, I am beating the shit out of Skagway and to take the first boat home. Right, so he's doing... I think that I'm a favor. I think that I'm baiting the shit out of him. Soapy opened an oyster parlour.

He's had really good success with the food in the last one. Yeah, I also fancy myself a bit of a caterer. It had the best food in town. But there's nowhere else. Yeah, probably. It's also the worst food in the country. Behind it, there was a small yard with a secret exit. If a victim chased a gang number out back, it looked like they had vanished. Outback here is also means behind a place. Oh, thanks, my god.

The Sagaway Telegraph office offered a telegraph to anywhere in the US for only $5. One could also get a reply for $5. I'm guessing those didn't go up. Ha, ha, ha. A telegraph line to scaggate wouldn't actually be built for four more years. So there's just a, what did they say?

The town was overrun by stray dogs because people bought them to pull sleds

but then abandoned them when they got there and so be demanded each household take in one dog. He took it six himself. There we we go that's for the first thing All right, now you're gonna eat him now let's eat him Amazingly so be it was very concerned about his image the San Francisco Examiner wanted to take him down and send a reporter But so be charmed the reporter and convinced him he was a great man who respected the law. The reporter quote,

so be Smith is not a dangerous man. He is not a desparado. He is not a scoundrel. He is not a criminal. He's my friend. I've spoken with Hitler and he assures me. He's done with his antics. He gets bang up hugs.

So be unbelievable. I'd like to introduce everybody to my new best friend, Shopee. He said, soapy was cool, fearless, generous, and honorable. He's cool, he thinks I'm cool too. He's cool, we came up with a secret hand. In fact, he's got a secret hand.

He goes with a dickler. Shopee's awesome. That's all I can say. And anyone who's questioning that is an asshole. Yeah, I was just showing how she's got a pool. Shopey's great. And he looks like Shopey. And she pointed at me saying,

he looks like Shopey. You might think he's pretty clean. He's a little sassy what he means. Which we did together, but he looks like Shopey. I think I've got the title for the article, choppy, and calaier, and let it choppy. He let it choppy. In January of 1898, one of Sobby's men,

Ed Faye shot and killed two men, a prospector and a marshal. A vigilante group wanted to hang him, Sobby sent Faye to hide with some gang members who protected him. He then had the Fay to hide with some gang members who protected him. He then had the commissioner deputize the gang members. Wow. Jesus Christ.

We're good. The vigilante group met in a church. A chant of lynch. A little bit like the back to the future to Biff City. Yeah. Keep going. A chant of lynch the murder broke out and soapy came and announced the men protecting

Faye were deputized. Anyone who approached would be shot and killed and it would be perfectly legal. Quote, we muster upwards of 200 men with their guns and if anyone tries to put a rope over Ed Faye's neck, he'll get a bullet in his own head a mighty quick. That's my best friend. I got to say even though I was here right now, not just Shopee.

Hey, I got Gucci Bubs. Gucci Bubs. No, he's cool. The next day, Faye was taken out of town. But the townspeople weren't pleased with Soapy. And one of those was Frank Reed, the city engineer of Skagway. Reed had been one of the men to found the town. Well, I would imagine he would not be a big fan of Soapies.

You know, Soapy, I'm starting to think you're making a lot of bad changes to this town. I live with 17 people. Nine dogs. I forgot about the dogs that come home. They're like better walk old 17 in my nose. Right. I'm going to take an hour and feed the animals we have to live with.

He was a veteran from the Indian Wars. He was a great shot and not scared of anyone. So two groups now form. The gamblers, saloon keepers and conmen and the law abiding citizens. Oh wow. Goodbye law by. Yeah. We just join arms. They won't break through. Well there's 700 of us and four of you. All right. Reads group petition the feds to send troops. Infrared men were dispatched on February 8th, and the vigilante group was named the committee 101. So with the military there, they became

emboldened and decided to drive the criminals out of town. Many con men then hilled head and went up into the hills. Okay. I'm trying to do cons on trees and bears. Which is an apine con for us. I'm fine, please. What's some acorns, Miss Man? I've said I'm fine. These are my apples.

How much will you pay for this acorn? A $30. When she'll be coming back, she said he returned soon. So here? He took my clothes. You're naked? Yes, of course I'm naked. Well what is it? What happened when you give a guy all your clothes? I don't know. I'm freezing. He's the best friend I've ever had. Joey for the very bad. Amazingly, Silby was not asked to leave leave he's not the center of all this is

and all right you can stay obviously soapy we're just trying to get the bad people at it well the soapy do you know uh... who's been stirring up all the trouble of the trouble well a bunch of the committee one one think he's harmless

oh wow one of them said quote jeth's a good fellow generous generous and public-spirited, when his gang is gone, he can do no harm. He's just a fellow with a gang of criminals. Right. He's a wrong crowd. All he is is the leader of a criminal gang. Yeah, you take your gang out of there, so he's going to be a foe. He's a nice guy at that point. Well, others were just scared to take him head on, and at one meeting, soapy paired with a gun, and ran them all off.

Now, he acted out, sure. But that's not soapy's fault. He's our boy. He's a good guy. Come on, everyone's run out of bunch of people out of town and with a gun. Yeah, since everyone, a bear bit me. Oh, yeah, where?

On the penis. Ah! Ah! Ah! A bear bit me. Where? On the penis. A bear bit me. On the penis. By late February, Sylvie had gotten back control of the town. He has told him an A. Some guy told him an A. Corn and he wanted it.

What would you say? I still think of that little guy. No, I can hardly tell. I laid favor, he's so happy, I had gotten back control of the town. The criminals who hadn't been in his gang now backed him. Okay. And he becomes their leader. So he just became more powerful.

He became more powerful. He wrote to a friend in Seattle quote, we have got them licked and and mean to rule absolutely. Now there was another murder on March 15th and infantry officers put up notices that they were closing all the gaming rooms. Okay, that'll be good. We're fine. Two companies of soldiers arrived to enforce the order and then the committee of 101 held a mass meeting. The next day notice was posted, quote, warning, a word to the wise should be sufficient. All confidence, bunco, and sure thing, men, I'm ready. Don't worry there will be follow-up. Now you a bunco fellow or share thing, fella? I'm a

bunco. I'm a bunco. I'm a Bunko. You're a Bunko. I'm actually a Funko guy. Hello to you guys, it's a little dose. And all other objectionable characters are notified to leave a scagway and a white pass road immediately and to remain away. Failure to comply with this warning will be followed by prompt action. 101.

Okay. failure to comply with this warning will be followed by prompt action 101 Okay So be responded by forming his own Vigilant committee. Yeah, cuz he's all the bad guy there the bad guys guys. Yeah, right. Yeah He called it the committee that influenced on me. He called it the committee of law and order. Yeah, oh nice It's really like how are politics. Yeah, that's exactly No child left behind Leave all the children. He said he was protecting businesses and posted his own notice. Quote, the business interest of Skagway proposed to put a stop to the lawless acts of many newcomers. We hereby summon all good citizens to a meeting at which

these managers will be discussed. Jefferson are Smith chairman. So at the meeting, he has his men strategically spaced out. I'm not even thinking, man. I'm totally unfocused. Dude, what a weird plan, man. They stopped and cheered when he spoke. Quote, we are here to form a real committee, not a half baked irresponsible committee, such as we have been hearing about. We have a subpoena.

This guy's unbelievable. I've never heard of this guy before. We have been clothes on, we've been sitting two months now. So, wow, sorry, I haven't found a fit. What's wrong with you, what's wrong with you penis? It's been bitten months now. Oh, wow, sorry. I haven't found any other fit. What's wrong with you? What's wrong with your penis? It's been bitten off by a bear. Ha.

It's killed in a cord. Skate not even. It's so big. We have the support of the business element of Skagway. We deploy present conditions which are caused not by our own people, but by riffraff from all parts of the world. We will protect ourselves even at the cost of our lives. Pardon the last part for some of us, it's not that we're not going to bang on the floor of that part.

So Sopi's vigilance committee had over 300 criminals. They had names like MoonFaced Kid, the Lamb, the Blackjack, Fatty Green, Yank, Few Clothes, fatty green, yank few clothes, and Jimmy, and kid Jimmy fresh. Kid Jimmy fresh. I'm four. Yank few clothes. I'm Moonface. Pleased to meet you.

You didn't have to tell us that. Oh. Yeah, God, the giant face comes up and goes, my name's Billy Smodhead. He's like, no, you're Moonface. I'm the lamb. I'm delicious with deal sauce. So be posted another notice.

Quote, we answer to the warning, the body of men styling themselves 101 are hereby notified that any overt act committed by them will be promptly met by law abiding citizens of Skagway and each member and his property will be held responsible for any unlawful act on their part. And the law and order society consisting of 317 citizens will see that justice is dealt out to the full extent as no blackmailer or vigilantes will be tolerated

the committee. Wow. It feels very much like what we will be looking at in Trump's second term. That's so cool though, you just say you're the good guys and it's like, yeah, well, you're saying you're the good guys. But you're law and order. There's a lot of that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, very much.

Yeah. With the law and order people. Take his thumbs. Pusiting self as the law and order guy was something, some serious gaslighting. Half of the people thought Sopi was the devil, and the other half thought he was a good guy. Sopi's men went to committee one-on-one meetings

to create confusion and chaos, and it worked. Soon the anti-crime movement ended, and the soldiers went back to their base and a month's selfie was called the Uncrowned King of Skagway. Yeah, so yeah, you scared the shit out of people. Yeah, and took power.

Confused everything. Confused, scared the shit out of people. And then, you know, exact. Yeah, it's like when those prop commercials come on TV and it's like, gosh, I mean, look, I really want clean air, but hire tax. So, I don't know if I can afford that., but higher tax of... Ha ha ha ha ha. I don't know if I can afford that.

I have to buy gummy bears for this little kid. That's right. I need gummy bears. I know a type travel. I know. A type-fifty, man. It's so powerful. Like, multidimensional character. I become as strong as I want to be.

What's a kid not wearing a globe? Like, that's not fair. It doesn't matter In February of 1898 America went to war with Spain. No a huge wage of Patriots trying to do every country. Yeah, if you can imagine as going to war yeah with Spain You will just get him in the afternoon when they're taking best the extra Huge wage of patriotism followed the sinking of the main and miners signed up for the war. A tent-appeared in Skagway with a sign, United States Army recruiting station.

Inside a military-looking man signed them up for service and back they took a medical exam given by a fake doctor while others went through their clothes and pockets stealing everything. Pretty good. Oh, wow. Wow. They just did it to get them naked and stealing. This is great doctor. I feel so much a lie to.

Yep. All right, go get your stuff. All right. Good luck. You're approved. I mean, just took one look at my asshole and then said I was fine. So stuck a twig in my butt and said you're good. Oh, well, where's my wallet? Where are my keys?

Everything well the war started well, we can get people naked All right boys Anyone who's interested get in this tent get naked and let's do this put all your valuables right there in that bucket labeled ours So if if the new soldiers complain they were tossed out in their underwear. Soapy increased man in his militia and sent a letter to President McKinley that he said he had an army ready. Wow. It's just like, it's crazy. You could just keep getting away with this, but he's like like I gotta let the president know we're armed. We're good

McKinley wrote back saying he sent it to the Secretary of War for approval Soby took this and it took this as an endorsement and proudly hung the letter in his office Oh my god on Sunday May 1st Soby marched at the head of his militia down the street as 2,000 people cheered and he let another parade on the 4th of July. On July 8th John Stuart, a prospector, was lured into a saloon by so peace man. Someone grabbed his bag of gold and ran. He's bag of gold! What are you talking about? Did have a big doll of sun on the side of it as well? Like you walk in the town and you've got a bag of gold and someone's like, hey, which lunch come to salute?

Well, I sure would, but I don't know if I can drink. I can carry this big bag of gold. Soby's men pretended they were drunk and grabbed Stewart pretending they didn't know what was happening. So Stewart went to the Marshall. And the Marshall said he was wrong about the saloon and to just go find some more gold. Well that's like the super hard parts, sir. Yeah but just go dig more. What's good deal? Your gold, their gold, they have it, who cares, go find more. The natural resource. Get more, come back, go back into the saloon. I'm pretty good.

No, trust me. Now it's a pretty good plan. Now the bag might be a bit more difficult to find. How about this? They get the gold, you get your bag back. Okay. No. There you go. You're in the army now. What? I don't know what's happening in this town anymore, necessarily. Stuart told anyone who would listen what had happened,

and soon the entire town knew and tensions rose people gathered in the street some said the richest prospectors were leaving because they were afraid and then the whole town started to turn against soapy smith the committee of 101 spokeman met with soapy and demanded the money be returned and soapy said steward had lost in fair and square We stole it from them and then he lost it and then he couldn't get it back So little confused as to what you're upset about well look here's a deal he came into my saloon right

He put them he put the gold down exactly someone grabbed it and ran that's the problem fair and square no the problem is that He'd earn that gold and then someone took it probably gamble Like how do you gamble? What was the gaming game? He came into the saloon and put the money, the gold down. Right. Not down on something. He just placed it on the ground.

Yeah. Well, on the bar, but next to him, which is a way of saying, whoever could get it and run, it's good gold. What you're not understanding is that we put roulette numbers on the floor and where he placed it when it spun the wheel didn't hit. Yeah, so he hit black six. Right, so good-bye money. It all makes sense when you think about it.

Now that I do think about it, I would like to do that roulette number four idea and take people stuff. Go ahead. So the one or one was not backing down. So so he said, look, I'll see what I can do. Give it back. We're looking in. So you're returning it? We're figuring it out.

We're gonna see where it is. We're at with that and where it's at with us. We have the gold, yeah. So just give that back to him. Oh, we're gonna have to file some paperwork. You do? Yeah, oh, I'm a tough mistress. Yeah. And I mean, that no sense of the word. Not sure I understand where this is headed. Well,

there's a sense of sex in the establishment. Who do you work for? I mean, I work for the government. Would you like a job? Absolutely. Would you like to be my mistress? Okay great. Hey hold on a second. That fucking guy. I mentioned I'm dying. Thank God. We're both gonna be gone. So they agree upon a deadline of 4 p.m. and so we just blows it off. That'd be great, any minute now. I really think he's gonna turn of and you'd be right there. I know we have a low bar for so we, but I'm 359, I'm pretty sure he'll be here.

Five minutes late, can't hold a man to accountable. He's killed people, he's made people live with people, I live with 17 dogs, but he's never been late in his life. That sound like a stick hitting someone's cranium, very much to the craniums. mind, it's a cranium. It's real bad. So a crowd starts to gather and they're getting angry or an angrier and so it comes out with guns in each pocket

and he pushes his way through them. Quote, you're a lot of cowardly rope pulling blank. So probably some suspicious or whatever. Now come on, I can lick the whole crowd-yield. Yeah. Yeah. No, no, no. Glad he's all told.

The crowd backed off and drifted away, but Sophie's gang were worried. They had not seen anything like this before. One said, quote, people are making such a stink about the job, it would be wise to give the stuff up. I can't even figure out who's shaking hands the right way and who is not. And I've eaten as many cigars as I could possibly stomach, so be. So be just became more stubborn.

He ran into Reed on the street and tried to get him to fight, but Reed didn't have a gun. So he went to his cabin, got one, and went to the oyster parlor. And he demanded to see the dictator. That's not me, I'm Soapy. Yeah. Soapy did not appear. A little while later, a crowd gathered again outside Soapies.

And this time he came out with a rifle and said he had 500 men ready to do what he told them. And the crowd got very quiet, but this time they did not leave. At this point, some of Sobby's men slipped out of town and into the woods. Oh my god. You know, and I think I'm actually going to go live in the forest for a few years. I've got an Uncle Conman off that student, right with the streams.

I think Uncle live in the Alaskan woods. That's so pee. I'm loving, could you just write me a job suggestion because I'm going, I'd love my time here. You're probably, yeah, great. Of course. Where are you going? I'm just going to just go and just hide under a big rock. By the way, there is a great penis bear out there. You were like, are you? I thought you'd, something's having your lip. I mean, cousin. Yes, right.

I got a cousin. And we're also dating. So be figured, he could bluff his way out. He walked up into a Broadway with a Daringer up his sleeve, a cult in his belt, and a 44-40 winchester on his shoulder. These good places to put guns. How long have you been in America? Yeah, I'm sorry. A week. The great places. What we do is we do one butt, one junk, one hand. He also kept drinking all day long. Man, you got, and keep your one hand free for drinking.

Yeah. You probably knew that one. The committee of 101 held another meeting, but it was so crowded in the hall, they moved it to the end of the dock where spies couldn't listen to them. Now have drunk, soapy got a note from a reporter at the meeting, quote, the crowd is angry. If you want to do anything about it, do it quick.

So be decided he was going to take care of this and headed there. A friend of us tried to stop him, but so be threatened to kill him. That's how you handle friends. Good buddy. Read and three other men were guarding the dock, and when So be so read, he yelled,

quote, I should have gotten rid of you months ago. They came face to face, nose to nose. Jesus. And so be, so be leveled his rifle at Reid's head and read, grab the muscle with his left hand and pull it down. He reached for his 38 with his right and so be yelled, quote, my God, don't shoot. The, the most humanized soapy's beard is not all what he's talking about. I made a stew.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Nobody said bullets. Relax fella. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Don't shoot. Reads gun misfired. Oh, soapy shot. A bullet shattered reads pelvic bone. Oh, yeah That's what I wanted You know exactly what How did you know my king? They both then shot soapy fell a bullet in his heart read Read fell two. But he shot again, hitting Soapy in the knee. Take that. Yeah.

First I go hard, then knee. That all I'd do it. Put him out of his misery. Reverend Sinclair was the first to reach the man. He looked at the dead Soapy and said, quote, thank God. That wasn't handshake guy. No, different words Read the twist friends and said quote I'm badly hurt boys, but I got him first

The crowd through their hats in the air and cheered So this is kind of like the freeze frame credits moment where my pelvis is really leaking That's right. We're at the hat throwing part just yet. Don't you forget about me. Yeah seriously do not forget about me. Also they're the end of a of a wolf. Did you say you have a pier? Yeah right. Yeah so all those hats are going straight into the drink.

Oh no. Well then you're gonna do the thing we're like that's not mine. Is that what's that I had? Did you? All right let's all relax and figure out who's got who's hat. I threw mine way back there. Boys, boys, can you shoot me in a pelvis for more time? Jesus Christ. I just want to release once again.

Oh my God. So becoming back once more, I'll do it. I got enough juice for one more. You were dead. Yeah, but I think I figured out my kink. They took Reed to a cabin on a cot, and he lingered for a few days and then died. Sure got him, didn't I? Yeah, yeah. That's pretty great. Remember when he died? Dope was that, huh?

Soapy's gang was rounded up and put in jail. Only five people went to Soapy's burial. His three lawyers, a mistress and a member of the 101 who wanted to make sure he was dead. Researched by Samantha Dylane. One end, you gave me that weird eye contact. Yeah, that was cool. Sources all quotes from the floor of heaven,

a true tale of the last frontier and the Yukon gold rush by Howard Bloom, history net.com. So be Smith's blog spot.com. He's got a blog. He does have a blog. He's a really good blog. And the short in the area. Yeah, 10 musts.

The short violent, the short violent reign of Soapie Smith October I'm really good blogger. And I'm a short in the area. Yeah, 10 musts. The short violent reign of Sylvie Smith, October 5, 1950 by Pierre Bertot. It's interesting because that is like kind of what I would say the proto, like I do think it's all bluster, so much fakery, violence, and it gets you pretty far. It does get you far. And that's pretty useful and applicable today as well. Yeah. It's a little more, there's a little more like to cut through now, but it certainly feels

like a good model. Well, violence works because there's a group of people who respect it and are attracted to it. Yeah. And we'll always go to that violent person. Yeah. Yeah. Right. And but there's always it doesn't last. It's always like it's not a long term. Usually it's not a long term thing. Soon it will. But by the way you should really as much as you can make fun of American cops, when you're in the show. To their faces or to their faces. And keep reaching in your pocket.

You can kiss them too. Really? They're like English. They're like so cool. Yeah, they can't react. Well, anything you do, they can't react. But yeah, I mean, it's like, people respect the bad guy, right?

I mean, it's just a thought. Oh yeah. which is what's also so funny about the Trump stuff because it's like He's just such a little fucking baby Yeah, like and they're just like you tough girl Trump And you're like he's such like a just he's a big. Yeah, he's a big man, baby. Yeah Unless you're a fan. No, no, I'm pretty unbelievable. I love Tom Curtis videos are unreal. He's got incredible tiktok views. I love it. Tom Curtis got what we call a cross platform appeal. Tiktok YouTube Instagram the spook. He's got not in live with Twitter.

Yeah, he's actually using some of my songs for the walk out. That's right. Yeah. Which one's his favorite? He likes, have you checked your butt hole? Have you checked your butt hole? I get my butt hole checked every Saturday.

I had my, yeah, I went to my breakfast challenge just the other day, he opened my mouth. I said wrong and he's doing a type five now. No, we're gonna do this thing on. I'm getting the light gotta go. He seems like a cool guy though. He's awesome. He's so good.

Yeah, we're gonna be fine here. Yeah, yeah, we're fine. We're doing great. Yeah, the guy who's gonna run against him is really doing a good job. Well, everybody loves him. Ocean Train. Yeah, Train.

I, here's the, there's a clip on Fox of them. So he says that in the thing, we're gonna build the train and then Fox puts up a graphic of where he wants the train to go across the water. Pretty damning. And they're making fun of Biden, but I'm totally distracted by the Fox guy because Fox people now wear their makeup like Trump.

So it's like an orange pancake where you can see the end of where it ends and they just wear their face makeup like that. And so I'm distracted by that, but also like this is crazy with the train over the water. It's just the most bananas fucking shit. He's really. So I just for someone who hasn't been on top over the water, it's just the most bananas fucking shit. He's very real. So I just for someone who hasn't been on top of the news,

where is the train going? Across. Well, I think a simpler question would be, where isn't the train? Sure, yeah, it's just a spiderweb door. The train is going from India to where? Oh, yeah, sorry. You don't need to throw me to the pool.

Yeah, show them. I can, I can. It sounds like something Trump would say we're gonna build a train New Delhi to old Delhi old Delhi new Delhi to a Delhi and LA What why this is beyond work I might have been watching you I do you wear a mask as well? Mine virus is airborne here. Oh snap. I've just been holding my breath since I got off the plane.

That works. I like how when you, someone sends you a video and you click on it, it just goes to them, they're TikTok. Yeah, I guess I don't understand that TikTok works. Tom Cardi could show you. Tom has great appeal on TikTok. A lot of people love his TikTok. How many fellas do you have on TikTok?

I don't know, I don't know, I'm across the Pacific and the Indian Ocean, which are, you know, this is a railroad, it's gonna be an other craft to our road. That's the longest distance you could... It's just like, oh, come here! Okay, but here's the thing, you said the exact same thing I did. What is with this makeup?

They're wearing their makeup like Trump. Yeah, it's an old way. They have a great, looks pretty good if you ask me and they're like, pretty youthful. I think they're just out of their minds also. I don't think that they're trying to normalize it. I think they're just like, well, that's how you do your makeup. He looks like he has a horrible sunburn.

Yeah, he looks like an oompa lupa face. But then it ends and you can see where the makeup ends. So I'm watching this and they're trying to make fun of a bite and for saying trains go across oceans, which they don't. but at the same time, I'm like, that guy has the craziest makeup on. Like, it's a Trump face. I also like the Biden face.

He's doing Trump face. He's doing Trump face. That's a really disrespect. Well, I gotta say, it's not his high school. The Biden's like, I'm going off script. Like, you know, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, that is a proctor. But, no one's written this and be like,

you know what, next he's gonna, he's gonna unveil the We're building and underwater helicopter And I'm going off script here a little bit because this is gonna be unbelievable I'll have to push this will be washing our dishes life will be the Flintstones All right Tom thanks for joining thanks so much for having me good luck to that point to follow around tick-tock and Go check out Tom Cardi.
