[patriotic music]
2
00:00:12,736 --> 00:00:15,401
Dr. John Kellogg says,
3
00:00:15,408 --> 00:00:17,306
oh, you should see the
corn flakes we're making.
4
00:00:17,312 --> 00:00:18,877
We're making our own cereal.
5
00:00:18,881 --> 00:00:22,881
And Will is saying, oh, no.
6
00:00:23,557 --> 00:00:27,520
I'm not talking right altogether.
7
00:00:27,531 --> 00:00:31,428
Uh, Nader, boss... Ralph Nader.
8
00:00:31,438 --> 00:00:33,069
He's like, well, this is all [bleep]ed up.
9
00:00:33,074 --> 00:00:34,740
And why shouldn't there be safety belts?
10
00:00:34,745 --> 00:00:37,242
So many people would be safer.
11
00:00:37,249 --> 00:00:39,880
And Houdini said, hey! [Bleep] you!
12
00:00:39,888 --> 00:00:41,186
I'm Houdini!
13
00:00:41,190 --> 00:00:43,555
I'm not that guy you just saw.
14
00:00:43,562 --> 00:00:44,793
Oh, my God.
15
00:00:44,797 --> 00:00:46,329
I have to puke.
16
00:00:46,333 --> 00:00:49,331
[patriotic music]
17
00:00:49,340 --> 00:00:53,340
? ?
18
00:00:59,024 --> 00:01:01,595
[folk music]
19
00:01:01,603 --> 00:01:03,202
Why do I love Detroit?
20
00:01:03,207 --> 00:01:04,705
Because it's lawless.
21
00:01:04,709 --> 00:01:07,672
[stammers] And you, and... and you know,
22
00:01:07,681 --> 00:01:09,712
it maybe come around to
bite your ass in the ass,
23
00:01:09,718 --> 00:01:11,283
'cause your window got broken out
24
00:01:11,287 --> 00:01:12,852
and that sucks, and it does,
25
00:01:12,857 --> 00:01:14,389
and you go through some hard times.
26
00:01:14,394 --> 00:01:15,892
But the lawlessness is great,
27
00:01:15,897 --> 00:01:17,595
'cause you can just ride your bike to work
28
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,565
drinking a beer, just
like you're in New Orleans,
29
00:01:19,571 --> 00:01:20,602
where you're allowed to.
30
00:01:20,605 --> 00:01:22,637
But you can do that here too.
31
00:01:22,643 --> 00:01:24,207
It's off the chain. It's gonna be amazing.
32
00:01:24,212 --> 00:01:25,245
I love Michigan.
33
00:01:25,248 --> 00:01:27,346
Michigan, that's what's up.
34
00:01:27,353 --> 00:01:28,651
Everyone in Detroit,
35
00:01:28,655 --> 00:01:31,153
Judas Priest is better than Iron Maiden,
36
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,424
and Iron Maiden is the [bleep].
37
00:01:33,430 --> 00:01:34,628
- Hi.
- Well...
38
00:01:34,632 --> 00:01:35,897
what did you bring? I brought you this.
39
00:01:35,901 --> 00:01:38,132
- Oh, scotch.
- As a thank you.
40
00:01:38,139 --> 00:01:39,138
How are you?
41
00:01:39,141 --> 00:01:41,006
Obviously, I love him.
42
00:01:41,012 --> 00:01:42,110
- Oh, my.
- I'm guessing that's a him.
43
00:01:42,114 --> 00:01:43,112
I don't...
44
00:01:43,115 --> 00:01:45,413
I mean, I don't know. Yeah.
45
00:01:45,420 --> 00:01:46,586
- All right, let's do it!
- Hey, that's how we know.
46
00:01:46,589 --> 00:01:47,587
- Come on!
- Okay, Yeah.
47
00:01:47,591 --> 00:01:48,989
Hey, I'm ready, so let's just...
48
00:01:48,993 --> 00:01:51,124
- [growling] I wanna do it!
- So let's just start.
49
00:01:51,131 --> 00:01:52,962
Hello, I am Paget Brewster,
50
00:01:52,967 --> 00:01:56,967
and today we are going to talk
about the Kellogg brothers.
51
00:01:58,011 --> 00:02:01,781
In 1876, Dr. John Kellogg
52
00:02:01,792 --> 00:02:04,589
created a sanitarium
53
00:02:04,596 --> 00:02:06,427
in Battle Creek, Michigan.
54
00:02:06,433 --> 00:02:08,831
Except he was an orator
55
00:02:08,838 --> 00:02:11,502
in the seventh-day adventist church.
56
00:02:11,509 --> 00:02:13,340
He tells his patients
57
00:02:13,346 --> 00:02:17,143
No sex, no meat, no alcohol,
58
00:02:17,153 --> 00:02:21,153
no sugar, no, uh, anything, uh, prurient
59
00:02:21,963 --> 00:02:23,328
or sensual.
60
00:02:23,332 --> 00:02:24,763
[bleep]!
61
00:02:24,768 --> 00:02:26,134
Aren't you guys tired?
62
00:02:26,138 --> 00:02:27,636
Pssht!
63
00:02:27,641 --> 00:02:28,939
- Well, can I...
- Shh!
64
00:02:28,943 --> 00:02:30,175
All right.
65
00:02:30,179 --> 00:02:34,179
He tells his patients, you need to take
66
00:02:34,286 --> 00:02:38,286
at least two solid, rope-y poops
67
00:02:39,997 --> 00:02:42,229
per day.
68
00:02:42,235 --> 00:02:44,066
In 1880,
69
00:02:44,072 --> 00:02:48,072
Dr. John reaches out to
his younger brother, Will,
70
00:02:48,514 --> 00:02:51,011
who he beat up the whole
time he was growing up,
71
00:02:51,018 --> 00:02:53,916
and he says, hey, um,
72
00:02:53,924 --> 00:02:55,822
leave that broom company.
73
00:02:55,827 --> 00:02:59,924
I've got this, you know,
sanitarium, spa thing.
74
00:02:59,935 --> 00:03:02,040
There's over 1,000 people a week
75
00:03:02,047 --> 00:03:05,377
here, hanging out...
76
00:03:05,386 --> 00:03:07,118
swimming and doing stuff.
77
00:03:07,123 --> 00:03:08,587
You should come and just, you know,
78
00:03:08,592 --> 00:03:09,990
help me out with everything.
79
00:03:09,994 --> 00:03:13,259
And will says, okay, I gotta
get the [bleep] out of here.
80
00:03:13,268 --> 00:03:16,865
Will is just sort of this
sad little whipping boy
81
00:03:16,875 --> 00:03:19,006
for big, famous brother John.
82
00:03:19,012 --> 00:03:20,444
He actually said,
83
00:03:20,448 --> 00:03:24,911
"I use my brother as a
foot warmer in the winter."
84
00:03:24,923 --> 00:03:27,054
I don't even know what that means.
85
00:03:27,061 --> 00:03:30,259
Like, he beat him up and
he stuck his feet under him?
86
00:03:30,267 --> 00:03:33,130
So anyway, he has to shave him.
87
00:03:33,138 --> 00:03:36,336
He actually has to call his own brother
88
00:03:36,345 --> 00:03:39,576
"Dr. Kellogg"...
89
00:03:39,585 --> 00:03:42,515
and has to run the kitchen
90
00:03:42,523 --> 00:03:45,121
and has to run the books.
91
00:03:45,129 --> 00:03:48,693
So Dr. John tells his younger brother Will,
92
00:03:48,702 --> 00:03:50,966
hey, make something that
people would want to eat
93
00:03:50,973 --> 00:03:53,205
because no one wants vegetarian food.
94
00:03:53,211 --> 00:03:55,908
So you do this, 'cause I'm busy.
95
00:03:55,916 --> 00:03:58,447
I gotta, you know, do lectures and stuff.
96
00:03:58,454 --> 00:03:59,952
So will,
97
00:03:59,957 --> 00:04:02,728
whose bookkeep...
bookkeeping "oppice"... office
98
00:04:02,736 --> 00:04:04,601
is next to the kitchen...
99
00:04:04,606 --> 00:04:05,804
One night, he's trying to make
100
00:04:05,808 --> 00:04:08,805
this stupid vegetarian [bleep].
101
00:04:08,813 --> 00:04:11,144
He leaves the dough out.
102
00:04:11,151 --> 00:04:12,949
He comes in the next morning,
103
00:04:12,955 --> 00:04:15,353
and the dough that he left out has molded.
104
00:04:15,359 --> 00:04:17,491
And he's like, oh, goddamn it,
105
00:04:17,498 --> 00:04:19,162
this [bleep] is moldy.
106
00:04:19,167 --> 00:04:21,099
[bleep]. I'm on a budget.
107
00:04:21,104 --> 00:04:24,534
And he puts it through the grinder anyway,
108
00:04:24,544 --> 00:04:29,307
and the small amount of
mold made that dough flakes.
109
00:04:29,319 --> 00:04:31,018
Corn flakes!
110
00:04:31,024 --> 00:04:33,487
And he's like, hol... oh, [bleep].
111
00:04:33,494 --> 00:04:35,792
Oh, we made... I made a cereal.
112
00:04:35,798 --> 00:04:38,129
So he tells John, John comes down.
113
00:04:38,136 --> 00:04:39,301
Oh, you know.
114
00:04:39,305 --> 00:04:42,070
And then they start producing this cereal,
115
00:04:42,078 --> 00:04:43,176
corn flakes.
116
00:04:43,179 --> 00:04:45,044
Like, corn flakes that we all know...
117
00:04:45,050 --> 00:04:47,481
that will discovered. With mold.
118
00:04:47,488 --> 00:04:51,488
One week, C.W. Post, this
industrialist, is visiting,
119
00:04:53,432 --> 00:04:55,630
and John says,
120
00:04:55,637 --> 00:04:57,634
oh, you should see the
corn flakes we're making.
121
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,139
We're making our own cereal.
122
00:04:59,143 --> 00:05:01,181
And will is saying,
123
00:05:01,187 --> 00:05:03,085
Oh, no, don't.
124
00:05:03,091 --> 00:05:05,488
I made... I made that.
125
00:05:05,495 --> 00:05:08,293
Don't... you say...
126
00:05:08,301 --> 00:05:09,566
and...
127
00:05:09,570 --> 00:05:11,868
[choir sings a dramatic chord]
128
00:05:11,874 --> 00:05:14,039
Oh, oh.
129
00:05:14,046 --> 00:05:18,109
I'm not talking right altogether,
130
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,651
but close enough.
131
00:05:20,658 --> 00:05:23,956
C.W. Post steals it, sells it,
132
00:05:23,965 --> 00:05:26,328
makes a million... dollars.
133
00:05:26,335 --> 00:05:28,633
So Will's like, [bleep] you, man.
134
00:05:28,639 --> 00:05:31,037
You [bleep]ed me! You [bleep]ed us!
135
00:05:31,044 --> 00:05:34,575
If we add sugar, we can sell this cereal.
136
00:05:34,585 --> 00:05:38,682
And John says, you can't put sugar on it.
137
00:05:38,693 --> 00:05:40,957
That's not seventh-day adventist.
138
00:05:40,963 --> 00:05:42,228
Who do you think you are?
139
00:05:42,232 --> 00:05:43,863
Will says, oh, you know...
140
00:05:43,868 --> 00:05:45,200
You know who I think I am?
141
00:05:45,205 --> 00:05:48,868
I think I'm the guy who
invented [bleep]ing corn flakes.
142
00:05:48,878 --> 00:05:51,210
I'm gonna put sugar on 'em and sell 'em.
143
00:05:51,216 --> 00:05:52,381
And [bleep] you.
144
00:05:52,385 --> 00:05:54,882
So he takes his cereal and he sets up
145
00:05:54,889 --> 00:05:57,554
the Kellogg toasted flakes company.
146
00:05:57,562 --> 00:06:00,559
Will makes it a million-dollar enterprise.
147
00:06:00,567 --> 00:06:03,005
And he's like, I'm putting
sugar on my [bleep].
148
00:06:03,012 --> 00:06:04,279
[bleep] you.
149
00:06:06,325 --> 00:06:09,423
Will wins the name in federal court.
150
00:06:09,432 --> 00:06:12,062
- I'm gonna burp.
- It's okay.
151
00:06:12,069 --> 00:06:14,869
I hope it's just a burp.
152
00:06:20,178 --> 00:06:22,280
Let's see this closet.
153
00:06:22,286 --> 00:06:23,417
All right.
154
00:06:23,421 --> 00:06:25,652
All these heads, they freak me out.
155
00:06:25,658 --> 00:06:27,589
- Yeah, and then the deer.
- Well, sorry.
156
00:06:27,595 --> 00:06:29,260
Now, I do have to ask... [Laughs]
157
00:06:29,265 --> 00:06:31,230
- about this Pulp Fiction.
- Yes.
158
00:06:31,236 --> 00:06:34,299
I just... your beak is touching my...
159
00:06:34,307 --> 00:06:35,540
You want me to help you with that?
160
00:06:35,544 --> 00:06:37,974
This is oddly intimate.
161
00:06:37,981 --> 00:06:39,447
Would you take off all your clothes...
162
00:06:39,452 --> 00:06:40,616
Yes.
163
00:06:40,620 --> 00:06:43,318
And put on my grandmother's Halston?
164
00:06:43,325 --> 00:06:45,257
- Is it weird?
- You actually look... no.
165
00:06:45,263 --> 00:06:46,827
Do you feel like you're
looking at your grandma?
166
00:06:46,832 --> 00:06:49,596
- No. Not at all.
- You don't? Okay.
167
00:06:49,604 --> 00:06:51,902
The younger brother, now, finally comes out
168
00:06:51,908 --> 00:06:53,506
of his older brother's shadow
169
00:06:53,511 --> 00:06:56,142
and becomes a huge American industrialist.
170
00:06:56,150 --> 00:06:59,547
The brothers sue each other back and forth
171
00:06:59,556 --> 00:07:00,861
for ten years.
172
00:07:00,865 --> 00:07:02,396
I want the name of Kellogg's.
173
00:07:02,401 --> 00:07:03,567
I want the name of Kellogg's.
174
00:07:03,571 --> 00:07:05,336
I want the name of Kellogg's.
175
00:07:05,341 --> 00:07:06,805
No, I deserve it, I made the...
176
00:07:06,810 --> 00:07:08,375
whatever.
177
00:07:08,380 --> 00:07:10,745
So Will, this younger brother,
178
00:07:10,751 --> 00:07:14,214
wins the name in federal court.
179
00:07:14,224 --> 00:07:15,689
I'm gonna burp.
180
00:07:15,693 --> 00:07:17,125
It's okay.
181
00:07:17,130 --> 00:07:19,262
I hope it's just a burp.
182
00:07:19,268 --> 00:07:22,565
Will is a huge industrialist
in the United States.
183
00:07:22,574 --> 00:07:24,872
He invents a bunch of cereals.
184
00:07:24,879 --> 00:07:28,908
Meanwhile, John loses all credibility.
185
00:07:28,919 --> 00:07:31,517
In 1943,
186
00:07:31,524 --> 00:07:35,588
John is on his deathbed.
187
00:07:35,599 --> 00:07:38,762
He writes to his younger brother,
188
00:07:38,771 --> 00:07:41,836
having not spoken for the past 20 years,
189
00:07:41,844 --> 00:07:45,241
and he gave it to his social secretary
190
00:07:45,250 --> 00:07:47,148
or whatever... he had no family.
191
00:07:47,154 --> 00:07:49,452
His only family was Will.
192
00:07:49,459 --> 00:07:52,823
She never sent it.
193
00:07:52,832 --> 00:07:55,130
But Will, eight years later...
194
00:07:55,137 --> 00:07:57,700
Also dying, blind...
195
00:07:57,707 --> 00:08:00,472
was told, on his deathbed,
196
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,617
your brother wrote a letter
197
00:08:03,625 --> 00:08:07,625
eight years ago saying, "I'm sorry.
198
00:08:08,768 --> 00:08:12,299
I screwed up. I apologize.
199
00:08:12,308 --> 00:08:14,339
I treated you as a lesser man
200
00:08:14,345 --> 00:08:17,676
when in fact, I was the lesser man."
201
00:08:17,686 --> 00:08:19,184
Essentially, that's what he said.
202
00:08:19,188 --> 00:08:21,420
I read it, but I can't remember entirely.
203
00:08:21,427 --> 00:08:23,158
But that's essentially what he said.
204
00:08:23,163 --> 00:08:24,428
Sorry.
205
00:08:24,432 --> 00:08:28,432
Will sat up on his
deathbed and said, good God!
206
00:08:30,444 --> 00:08:34,641
Why didn't anyone tell
me about this before now?
207
00:08:34,652 --> 00:08:38,049
And he died!
208
00:08:38,058 --> 00:08:42,488
That's just awful. That's
the [bleep]ing worst.
209
00:08:42,500 --> 00:08:45,430
[munching]
210
00:08:45,438 --> 00:08:48,369
Um, yeah, but... right?
211
00:08:48,377 --> 00:08:50,708
- Yeah.
- Like, Will was right.
212
00:08:50,715 --> 00:08:52,413
You want to put some sugar on 'em.
213
00:08:52,418 --> 00:08:54,616
Yeah. It is lacking sugar.
214
00:08:54,623 --> 00:08:55,854
Otherwise, it's just mold.
215
00:08:55,858 --> 00:08:58,690
- Yeah.
- Mold flakes.
216
00:08:58,698 --> 00:09:01,004
- Want some more?
- I'm good.
217
00:09:03,213 --> 00:09:05,111
- Ralph Nader.
- And he's right!
218
00:09:05,116 --> 00:09:06,681
The Ralph Nader
219
00:09:06,686 --> 00:09:08,951
is responsible for seat belts in cars?
220
00:09:08,958 --> 00:09:11,021
He had the idea to put them in there.
221
00:09:11,027 --> 00:09:12,992
Well, then god bless him.
222
00:09:12,998 --> 00:09:15,363
- Ralph Nader.
- Cheers to Ralph Nader!
223
00:09:15,369 --> 00:09:18,666
Keepin' us all safe! He's a good guy.
224
00:09:18,675 --> 00:09:20,739
I don't know, actually, what the, uh...
225
00:09:20,745 --> 00:09:22,510
when they do public
"intoclate"... intoxication.
226
00:09:22,516 --> 00:09:24,781
- What's... what's the...
- [snickers]
227
00:09:24,787 --> 00:09:27,151
How legal is it to be drunk in your home?
228
00:09:27,158 --> 00:09:29,156
Can you be so drunk in
your home that it's illegal?
229
00:09:29,162 --> 00:09:30,427
Hi.
230
00:09:30,431 --> 00:09:33,296
Today we're gonna talk about Ralph Nader.
231
00:09:33,304 --> 00:09:36,734
He was a Harvard graduate, super egghead.
232
00:09:36,743 --> 00:09:38,308
It was, like, 1965.
233
00:09:38,313 --> 00:09:41,576
Cars were just, like,
psychosexual dreamboats.
234
00:09:41,585 --> 00:09:43,283
But, like, there wasn't seat belts.
235
00:09:43,288 --> 00:09:44,687
At the time, like, the car industry,
236
00:09:44,692 --> 00:09:47,089
they made a weird stand against safety.
237
00:09:47,096 --> 00:09:50,194
Well, how about we give 'em
an option of seat belts or not?
238
00:09:50,202 --> 00:09:52,633
Yeah, but I gotta call the
guy, and he's gotta make...
239
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,471
You know, we gotta buy the nylon,
240
00:09:54,477 --> 00:09:56,942
and someone's gotta design the buckles,
241
00:09:56,949 --> 00:09:58,847
and it's a whole thing.
242
00:09:58,852 --> 00:10:01,150
So anyways, so there's,
like, no safety [bleep].
243
00:10:01,157 --> 00:10:03,595
and then, like, Ralph
Nader, I guess, had a friend,
244
00:10:03,602 --> 00:10:05,932
who he was saying, like, that's weird.
245
00:10:05,939 --> 00:10:08,704
Shouldn't there be some kind
of option of trying to...
246
00:10:08,711 --> 00:10:10,909
couldn't I strap myself into the car?
247
00:10:10,916 --> 00:10:13,813
The car flipped over and
his friend was paralyzed.
248
00:10:13,821 --> 00:10:17,118
I'll call him his paralyzed pal.
249
00:10:17,127 --> 00:10:18,692
I guess through a "cursorair"...
250
00:10:18,697 --> 00:10:22,094
cursory investigation of
safety practices, he's like,
251
00:10:22,103 --> 00:10:23,301
well, this is all [bleep]ed up.
252
00:10:23,305 --> 00:10:25,170
And why shouldn't there be safety belts?
253
00:10:25,176 --> 00:10:26,242
It seems like, you know,
254
00:10:26,245 --> 00:10:28,508
so many people would be safer.
255
00:10:28,515 --> 00:10:31,847
So he wrote the book Unsafe at Any Speed,
256
00:10:31,856 --> 00:10:34,586
which put heat on, uh, General Motors.
257
00:10:34,594 --> 00:10:36,525
So their tactic was to, like,
258
00:10:36,530 --> 00:10:38,862
go get Ralph Nader in
a compromising position.
259
00:10:38,869 --> 00:10:40,533
Apparently, he shops for food
260
00:10:40,538 --> 00:10:42,736
at the supermarket by where he lives.
261
00:10:42,742 --> 00:10:45,973
Gotcha. All right, yeah.
262
00:10:45,982 --> 00:10:47,413
So Nader goes to the supermarket.
263
00:10:47,418 --> 00:10:50,749
You send a couple of those broads over.
264
00:10:50,758 --> 00:10:52,856
And then they got, like,
265
00:10:52,862 --> 00:10:55,559
weird, salacious Barbara Eden types...
266
00:10:55,567 --> 00:10:57,632
I Dream of Jeannie...
267
00:10:57,638 --> 00:10:59,736
To approach him at this supermarket.
268
00:10:59,742 --> 00:11:01,680
You know, say, mister.
269
00:11:01,686 --> 00:11:03,184
Wanna go for a ride?
270
00:11:03,188 --> 00:11:04,553
Wanna go for a ride in the car?
271
00:11:04,558 --> 00:11:06,822
You wanna go for a ride in the car?
272
00:11:06,828 --> 00:11:08,426
We'll go in the car.
273
00:11:08,431 --> 00:11:10,396
We'll go around the whole neighborhood.
274
00:11:10,402 --> 00:11:12,033
Nader's like, well, this seems odd.
275
00:11:12,038 --> 00:11:13,271
I'm a dork.
276
00:11:13,275 --> 00:11:15,473
There's no way this, you know, Kim Novak,
277
00:11:15,479 --> 00:11:17,942
huge-breasted woman, come up to me.
278
00:11:17,949 --> 00:11:19,082
I'm too smart for that.
279
00:11:19,086 --> 00:11:20,650
Mm, something's wrong.
280
00:11:20,655 --> 00:11:23,153
It's gotta be something
to do with General Motors.
281
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,257
[dramatic music]
282
00:11:25,263 --> 00:11:29,160
So he tipped off Newspapers
and such to be like,
283
00:11:29,171 --> 00:11:31,169
hey, I'm being, you
know, harassed like this.
284
00:11:31,175 --> 00:11:33,573
The whole thing blew up for GM.
285
00:11:33,580 --> 00:11:35,112
There's senate hearings where it's like,
286
00:11:35,116 --> 00:11:36,714
you... you guys did this?
287
00:11:36,719 --> 00:11:38,783
Yeah, you caught us, I guess.
288
00:11:38,789 --> 00:11:40,321
I guess we did it.
289
00:11:40,326 --> 00:11:42,490
And they had to, like, publicly apologize,
290
00:11:42,496 --> 00:11:44,694
which just... just cracks
me up, but it happened.
291
00:11:44,701 --> 00:11:47,433
A public apology to Ralph Nader
292
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,037
over trying to, like... [Laughs]
293
00:11:50,045 --> 00:11:53,176
blackmail him with... [Laughs]
294
00:11:53,184 --> 00:11:56,481
broads at the supermarket. [Laughs]
295
00:11:56,490 --> 00:11:58,821
We, members of, uh, General Motors,
296
00:11:58,828 --> 00:12:02,365
apologize to you, Ralph Nader.
297
00:12:02,375 --> 00:12:05,306
They [bleep]ing paid him almost
a $1/2-million settlement.
298
00:12:05,314 --> 00:12:07,445
He used that money to start to finance
299
00:12:07,451 --> 00:12:10,249
a group called, like,
uh, the Nader Raiders.
300
00:12:10,257 --> 00:12:11,888
Was that the name of it?
was it the "Raider Naders"
301
00:12:11,893 --> 00:12:13,191
- Or the...
- Nader Raiders.
302
00:12:13,195 --> 00:12:17,195
"Raider Naders" would be
people that raided Naders.
303
00:12:18,405 --> 00:12:20,537
It was an army of intellectuals
304
00:12:20,543 --> 00:12:22,941
that sought out injust... injustices
305
00:12:22,948 --> 00:12:24,779
about, you know, corporate evil.
306
00:12:24,784 --> 00:12:27,215
And they were really, like, instrumental
307
00:12:27,222 --> 00:12:29,419
in starting, like, even Osha.
308
00:12:29,426 --> 00:12:31,258
Safe Water Drinking Act, wasn't it?
309
00:12:31,263 --> 00:12:32,628
Freedom of Information Act.
310
00:12:32,633 --> 00:12:34,931
Huge touchstones that are super important.
311
00:12:34,937 --> 00:12:37,534
People think that Ralph
Nader is just the guy
312
00:12:37,542 --> 00:12:39,174
that blew the election for Gore,
313
00:12:39,179 --> 00:12:40,511
and he's just, like, so much more.
314
00:12:40,515 --> 00:12:43,579
Yeah, original, like, nerd warrior.
315
00:12:43,587 --> 00:12:44,985
Hi, Bober.
316
00:12:44,990 --> 00:12:47,821
What a good dog.
317
00:12:47,829 --> 00:12:51,693
There is a moment where
I sic him on all of you.
318
00:12:51,703 --> 00:12:53,367
[patriotic music]
319
00:12:53,372 --> 00:12:55,337
Houdini said, really?
320
00:12:55,343 --> 00:12:58,907
Houdini, shut the [bleep]
up. Just quiet down.
321
00:12:58,917 --> 00:13:01,490
I know you're skeptical.
Let's just do this.
322
00:13:08,293 --> 00:13:10,957
I guess you get a certain amount of pride
323
00:13:10,964 --> 00:13:14,162
from it being such a
negative place, in a way.
324
00:13:14,171 --> 00:13:16,734
There's a perverse kind of pride.
325
00:13:16,741 --> 00:13:18,440
I guess you always love where you're from,
326
00:13:18,445 --> 00:13:20,343
but you're like, is that [bleep]ing stupid?
327
00:13:20,349 --> 00:13:22,813
But sometimes, like, it is a magical place.
328
00:13:22,820 --> 00:13:26,550
I really love Detroiters.
You gotta go with the spirit.
329
00:13:26,560 --> 00:13:29,058
Nine times out of ten, people count us out.
330
00:13:29,065 --> 00:13:31,829
But nobody ever gives up here.
331
00:13:31,837 --> 00:13:33,137
Nobody ever gives up.
332
00:13:33,491 --> 00:13:35,289
[sighs]
333
00:13:35,294 --> 00:13:36,692
[whispering] One, two, three, four...
334
00:13:36,697 --> 00:13:37,795
Hello, everybody!
335
00:13:37,799 --> 00:13:39,098
I'm here to talk about Houdini
336
00:13:39,102 --> 00:13:40,633
and his fight against spiritualism
337
00:13:40,637 --> 00:13:42,402
with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
338
00:13:42,408 --> 00:13:45,205
[dramatic music]
339
00:13:45,213 --> 00:13:46,712
After World War I,
340
00:13:46,716 --> 00:13:49,413
everyone was obsessed with spiritualism.
341
00:13:49,421 --> 00:13:54,185
They felt that religious
bits and scientific bits
342
00:13:54,198 --> 00:13:56,395
worked together and made spiritualism.
343
00:13:56,401 --> 00:13:57,666
Harry Houdini,
344
00:13:57,670 --> 00:14:01,141
the greatest magician
escape artist of all time.
345
00:14:01,151 --> 00:14:04,081
Houdini knew spiritualism was bull[bleep]
346
00:14:04,089 --> 00:14:07,986
because he had done it
himself, when he started out.
347
00:14:07,996 --> 00:14:10,161
He'd send his wife ahead of him,
348
00:14:10,168 --> 00:14:12,666
and she was like, I'm a bible salesman.
349
00:14:12,673 --> 00:14:15,636
Look, our bibles are
better than your bible.
350
00:14:15,644 --> 00:14:19,075
And through the information
that she would give him,
351
00:14:19,084 --> 00:14:23,084
he could pretty much tell,
like, oh, so, your uncle,
352
00:14:23,393 --> 00:14:24,791
who had a mustache,
353
00:14:24,795 --> 00:14:28,792
or your so-and-so that had
this and that, whatever.
354
00:14:28,803 --> 00:14:30,467
Those people, they're like... [gasps]
355
00:14:30,472 --> 00:14:32,770
he knows exactly what I'm talking about.
356
00:14:32,777 --> 00:14:34,975
Oh, my God. Yeah, he knows.
357
00:14:34,981 --> 00:14:37,213
Houdini and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
358
00:14:37,220 --> 00:14:38,484
became good friends.
359
00:14:38,488 --> 00:14:42,488
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle,
he wrote Sherlock Holmes...
360
00:14:44,634 --> 00:14:46,098
and all that stuff.
361
00:14:46,102 --> 00:14:47,734
Arthur Conan Doyle, he was like,
362
00:14:47,739 --> 00:14:49,672
spiritualism is the [bleep]!
363
00:14:49,736 --> 00:14:50,902
I love it!
364
00:14:50,906 --> 00:14:53,303
This is how everything needs to happen.
365
00:14:53,310 --> 00:14:56,374
This is... Whatever this religion is,
366
00:14:56,382 --> 00:15:00,382
this needs... everyone needs to know this.
367
00:15:00,490 --> 00:15:03,194
Houdini held his tongue.
He knew it was bull[Bleep].
368
00:15:03,202 --> 00:15:05,200
sir Arthur Conan Doyle was like,
369
00:15:05,206 --> 00:15:07,737
I want you to sit down
and have this seance,
370
00:15:07,744 --> 00:15:12,074
and I have... my wife is going to speak
371
00:15:12,086 --> 00:15:16,016
your mother's words through handwriting.
372
00:15:16,026 --> 00:15:17,058
Really?
373
00:15:17,062 --> 00:15:18,860
Houdini, shut the [bleep] up.
374
00:15:18,865 --> 00:15:20,530
Just quiet down.
375
00:15:20,535 --> 00:15:23,932
I know you're skeptical.
Let's just do this.
376
00:15:23,942 --> 00:15:27,139
The... one, two, three, four...
377
00:15:27,147 --> 00:15:29,578
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, his wife is like,
378
00:15:29,585 --> 00:15:33,516
yay! We're all here.
We're doing this seance.
379
00:15:33,527 --> 00:15:36,557
Let's speak to Houdini's mother.
380
00:15:36,565 --> 00:15:38,264
So then what happened?
381
00:15:38,269 --> 00:15:40,399
Oh!
382
00:15:40,406 --> 00:15:43,571
My son, I'm so happy to speak to you!
383
00:15:43,579 --> 00:15:45,976
Oh, this is so wonderful!
384
00:15:45,983 --> 00:15:49,983
Oh, thank God for you and
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle!
385
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:52,124
Mr. Sherlock...
386
00:15:52,128 --> 00:15:54,693
Okay, Well, mother, um...
387
00:15:54,701 --> 00:15:56,832
can you read my mind?
388
00:15:56,838 --> 00:15:59,070
[laughs] of course!
389
00:15:59,076 --> 00:16:01,679
I've always read my son's mind.
390
00:16:01,687 --> 00:16:03,885
This is... this is great!
391
00:16:03,891 --> 00:16:06,722
- Uh, um, yes.
- [Wand clatters]
392
00:16:06,730 --> 00:16:09,028
I... sorry I dropped that wand.
393
00:16:09,035 --> 00:16:11,799
But yes, I'm gonna put a
cross on top of this thing.
394
00:16:11,806 --> 00:16:14,937
She wrote a cross on the top of the thing.
395
00:16:14,946 --> 00:16:17,610
Mrs. Houdini was Jewish.
396
00:16:17,617 --> 00:16:20,948
After Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and his wife
397
00:16:20,958 --> 00:16:24,958
[Bleep]ed him over, he realized that...
398
00:16:26,100 --> 00:16:28,831
who he... one, two, three, four...
399
00:16:28,839 --> 00:16:31,403
He... he became angry. He's like, [bleep]!
400
00:16:31,410 --> 00:16:35,410
I'm going to falsify every
[bleep]ing spiritualist
401
00:16:35,986 --> 00:16:37,050
that I come across.
402
00:16:37,054 --> 00:16:40,052
Houdini would go around in disguise
403
00:16:40,060 --> 00:16:43,424
to every spiritualist
medium that he could find
404
00:16:43,433 --> 00:16:44,664
and would discredit 'em,
405
00:16:44,668 --> 00:16:48,166
like, I wanna talk about my dead son.
406
00:16:48,176 --> 00:16:49,741
And the spiritualist was like,
407
00:16:49,746 --> 00:16:53,510
Oh, well, your son is
so-and-so and doing this.
408
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,651
And he's like, hey! [Bleep] you!
409
00:16:55,657 --> 00:16:56,922
I'm Houdini!
410
00:16:56,926 --> 00:16:59,090
I'm not that guy you just saw.
411
00:16:59,097 --> 00:17:00,704
[bleep] off.
412
00:17:07,185 --> 00:17:09,649
[whispering] One, two, three.
413
00:17:09,656 --> 00:17:11,388
All right, so what do you wanna know?
414
00:17:11,394 --> 00:17:12,693
What was the "One, two, three"?
415
00:17:12,697 --> 00:17:14,095
where did that... where
did you start doing that?
416
00:17:14,099 --> 00:17:16,230
[laughs]
417
00:17:16,236 --> 00:17:20,499
I do it so when I know,
like, when I'm too drunk...
418
00:17:20,511 --> 00:17:22,909
One, two, three...
419
00:17:22,916 --> 00:17:26,979
That I can be... [laughs]
420
00:17:26,990 --> 00:17:30,521
that I can be good to
myself, which is not working,
421
00:17:30,530 --> 00:17:31,894
but it's fine.
422
00:17:31,899 --> 00:17:33,465
So near the end of his career,
423
00:17:33,470 --> 00:17:35,600
Houdini went into a college town.
424
00:17:35,606 --> 00:17:37,838
One of the college students
came through and was like,
425
00:17:37,844 --> 00:17:41,907
hey! So I hear that you can
take any punch in the world.
426
00:17:41,918 --> 00:17:44,150
He was like, yes, I can. Whatever, yeah.
427
00:17:44,157 --> 00:17:46,221
I can take whatever
punch you [bleep]ing want.
428
00:17:46,227 --> 00:17:49,091
Okay, well, I wanna test this out.
429
00:17:49,099 --> 00:17:51,830
Thing is, Houdini needs to,
like, stretch his muscles.
430
00:17:51,837 --> 00:17:54,302
He didn't have enough time to do that.
431
00:17:54,309 --> 00:17:58,173
The kid just [bleep]ing
punches him right there.
432
00:17:58,184 --> 00:18:01,754
And he's like, okay. This [bleep]ing sucks.
433
00:18:01,764 --> 00:18:04,328
[belches]
434
00:18:04,335 --> 00:18:06,766
I have to put on a [bleep]ing show,
435
00:18:06,773 --> 00:18:08,638
because I'm Houdini.
436
00:18:08,643 --> 00:18:12,643
I have to put on a [bleep]ing
good show for my tour.
437
00:18:13,018 --> 00:18:15,882
He goes on stage and does his show.
438
00:18:15,890 --> 00:18:18,188
104 temperature.
439
00:18:18,195 --> 00:18:19,593
He's [bleep]ing terrible.
440
00:18:19,597 --> 00:18:22,762
One guy who'd seen his
show eight times was like,
441
00:18:22,771 --> 00:18:23,869
something's wrong.
442
00:18:23,872 --> 00:18:26,170
After the first act, he passes out.
443
00:18:26,177 --> 00:18:27,275
They revive him.
444
00:18:27,279 --> 00:18:29,543
He goes through, he does the second act.
445
00:18:29,549 --> 00:18:32,446
After the second act, he passes out again.
446
00:18:32,454 --> 00:18:35,152
So his wife's like, you
need to go to the hospital.
447
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,492
Your appendix has ruptured.
448
00:18:37,499 --> 00:18:41,499
At the same time that Houdini
was against spiritualism,
449
00:18:41,906 --> 00:18:43,604
he still asked his wife Bess,
450
00:18:43,610 --> 00:18:47,610
if I die, I want you to
hold a seance every year.
451
00:18:48,051 --> 00:18:51,781
If, during the seance,
these words come through
452
00:18:51,792 --> 00:18:54,290
and whatnot, then you know that it's me.
453
00:18:54,297 --> 00:18:56,595
If not, [bleep] you, it's someone else.
454
00:18:56,601 --> 00:18:59,332
He passes out again. They revive him.
455
00:18:59,340 --> 00:19:03,340
[retching]
456
00:19:08,764 --> 00:19:09,963
So do you feel better?
457
00:19:09,967 --> 00:19:12,964
I feel 100% better.
458
00:19:12,972 --> 00:19:16,603
Show must go [bleep]ing on.
459
00:19:16,613 --> 00:19:19,776
He does the third act. [Bleep] happens.
460
00:19:19,785 --> 00:19:22,517
After a while... I mean,
he's in complete agony.
461
00:19:22,525 --> 00:19:23,956
His... his, you know...
462
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,825
Bile, everything's coming
out of his appendix.
463
00:19:26,833 --> 00:19:28,464
Everything's going wrong.
464
00:19:28,469 --> 00:19:32,469
I... it's obviously too late
for him to deal with it.
465
00:19:35,014 --> 00:19:39,111
He died in Detroit, uh, on Halloween.
466
00:19:39,122 --> 00:19:43,653
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
was like, it sucks he died.
467
00:19:43,665 --> 00:19:45,763
People think it's because of the punch.
468
00:19:45,769 --> 00:19:48,032
Truthfully, the doctor's like,
469
00:19:48,039 --> 00:19:50,271
you know what? He already had appendicitis.
470
00:19:50,277 --> 00:19:52,875
So it's fine.
471
00:19:52,883 --> 00:19:56,883
For ten years, on Halloween,
they'd have the seance,
472
00:19:57,257 --> 00:19:59,488
and they would be there like, oh, Houdini,
473
00:19:59,495 --> 00:20:01,466
if you can break through...
474
00:20:01,472 --> 00:20:02,704
I... it didn't happen.
475
00:20:02,708 --> 00:20:05,005
Houdini's wife Bess is like, you know what?
476
00:20:05,011 --> 00:20:07,809
He's lived on for all these many years,
477
00:20:07,817 --> 00:20:11,817
but ten years is long
enough to wait for any man.
478
00:20:12,093 --> 00:20:16,057
So I have to extinguish his light.
479
00:20:16,067 --> 00:20:17,598
I apologize.
480
00:20:17,603 --> 00:20:20,600
They still do a seance to
see if he can break through,
481
00:20:20,608 --> 00:20:23,273
and he still has not.
482
00:20:23,281 --> 00:20:26,378
- What's your name?
- Hi, my name is secrets.
483
00:20:26,386 --> 00:20:27,784
Pardon me. [Snickers]
484
00:20:27,789 --> 00:20:31,852
[both laughing]
485
00:20:31,863 --> 00:20:33,295
Very subtle.
486
00:20:33,299 --> 00:20:35,530
Oh! Look at me!
487
00:20:35,537 --> 00:20:37,935
I'm a "magi-shurans"!
488
00:20:37,942 --> 00:20:40,573
[laughter]
489
00:20:40,580 --> 00:20:43,578
