The French people want to
give you a giant statue.

And they said, eh, we're good.

- [Laughs]
- [Coughs]

I'm not eating Play-Doh.

The British are coming,

and if you're not coming,
then you're a mother[Bleep].

This is the moment where I'm like,

"oh, I really am drunk."

I will go into the insane asylum

and give you a really good report.

You're crazy.

Yes, you're crazy.

[Patriotic music]

?

If you want to learn a
lot in, like, one week,

come to New York, you know?

The concrete jungle
where dreams are made of.

We walk the walk. We talk the talk.

We get it done.

Welcome to the capital of the world.

I love New York.

Born and raised in the Bronx, man.

The best pastrami ever.

That boar's head stuff? Forget about it.

It's garbage.

Give me your cool, your poor,

your sick, your hungry, your tired.

Your cool?

[Laughing] Yeah.

- Cheers.
- New York.

? New York to the cool. ?

? New York ?

All right, I'm gonna give you
an arm, the arm of the torch.

- Of the torch.
- Yeah.

This is the gist.

Hold on. [Laughs]

This is the gist of the arm, right?

If you care about America, you'll see this

for what it's meant to be.

The smurf dick. [Laughs]

All right.

Hello.

Today we're gonna stalk about
the Statue of Liver... [chuckles]

Liberty.

We have the Statue of Liberty
today because of a man named

Frederic Bartholdi, a sculptor in France.

One day he was sitting down
with his buddy who was like,

hey, it's 1865.

The United States is turning
100 [Bleep] years old.

Someone's gonna give them a
gift for their 100th birthday.

It should be France.

And Bartholdi's like, [Bleep] yeah.

This sounds [Bleep] amazing. Yeah.

And Bartholdi comes up
with this idea of this giant

300-foot statue of a stoic
woman made entirely of copper,

holding a golden torch to
represent liber... [chuckles]

[Bleep].

That's a tough... it's a tough word.

- It is.
- Liberty.

Yeah.

So Bartholdi has a sit-down with Congress.

The French people want to
give you a giant statue.

Like, giant.

And whenever people come into
the port of New York Harbor,

the first thing they're gonna see is,

like, like, a... a 300-foot-high statue.

And they said, eh, we're good.

I mean, that's... it's in-[Bleep]-sane.

Bartholdi can't believe it.

I... I just want to give you guys a gift.

Like, this is... I'll make it.

The French will pay for it.

You don't have to do [Bleep].

And Congress said, here's the thing,

you're French.

The French are kind of pussies.

And the French are kind of dicks.

And the French are kind of not Americans.

So Bartholdi goes back to France.

He's like, [Bleep] this.

[Bleep] America.

Whether they take it
or not is their problem.

My problem is I need to complete
a 300-foot copper statue.

I'm gonna have to use the
bathroom again in a sec.

Doesn't it suck having a dick?

No. No.

It doesn't suck having a dick?

- I love having a dick.
- [Laughs]

So by 1876, the 100-year anniversary

of the United States, all he has
done is an arm holding a torch.

But the American people
are like, holy [Bleep].

This is [Bleep] great.

Like, I wonder what this
entire statue is gonna

look like when it's done.

And Congress goes, all right,

we will accept your gift.

Bartholdi is over the moon.

Oh, this is so great. Thank you so much.

We should probably talk about the pedestal.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on a second.

What are you talking about, "pedestal"?

I need a pedestal to put my statue on.

And the United States Congress says,

um, [Bleep] no.

I'm not paying for [Bleep].

Bartholdi is furious.

I'm going through all this trouble,

and you won't even give me
a place to put my statue?

And Congress says, that's [Bleep] right.

I love Play-Doh.

The thing is... Here's the thing.

Bartholdi is still building,
and eventually a statue is done.

And it's just sitting here,
but there's nowhere to put it.

[Clatter]

Watch it.

Was that expensive, [Indistinct]?

It's around that time that an
American named Joseph Pulitzer

steps in and says, this is [Bleep] crazy.

We won't accept it?

What is going on?

All we have to give them
is a place to put it.

So Pulitzer mounts a totally new campaign.

Look, [Bleep] Congress.
Forget the president.

I think we should build this pedestal.

If you agree, I want
you to give some money.

Doesn't have to be a lot.

Even if you give a penny, I'll
print your name in my newspaper.

And the American people
step up all over the country

sending 5c, 10c, 50c.

120,000 people donate,
and Pulitzer's going,

yeah. Yeah.

My [Bleep] newspaper.

Yeah.

And eventually they
have this pedestal built.

You know what I used to do as a kid?

I loved eating Pay-Doh.

- Did you?
- Oh yeah.

[Bleep], that's terrible.

- I'm not eating Play-Doh.
- [Laughs]

Are you [Bleep] kidding me?

Anyways, the Statue of Liberty is unveiled

to the American people with
Bartholdi on the torch balcony.

Like, look at this [Bleep].

Look at this [Bleep]...

[Gags]

Oh, my God.

- [Laughs]
- [Coughs]

Come on. That's the [Bleep] arm.

You can't get it out of your teeth.

[Laughs]

[Spits]

Stay tuned for more Drunk History.

Let's go.

Let's go get these ass[Bleep].

Let's make it happen.

[Chuckles] Damn it.

I was doing such a good job.

- Are you a fan of Paul Revere?
- Oh, yeah.

Oh, he was the best.

You know that there was
a 16-year-old girl who did

exactly what Paul Revere
did except he did 20 miles

of letting everyone know
the redcoats were coming,

and she did 40 miles.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Oh, see?

I love history. I love it.

- Hi, Suzi.
- Hi, Derek.

All right, let's do it.

Oh. Watch your head.

- We're good.
- Hello.

Today we're gonna talk about
Sybil Luning... [chuckles]

Today we're gonna talk
about Sybil Ludington

who did the midnight ride

that you haven't heard about,

but you will, right?

So it's early on in the revolution,

and the British are tearing
through the colonies.

Blap, blap.

Kggh!

Sybil Ludington just had her 16th birthday.

Her dad, Henry Ludington, is
the head of the local militia,

fending off the British.

So on this particular night,
she's tucking in her brothers

and sisters, and all of a sudden,

ka-ka, ka-ka.

There's a knock on the door.

- This man is at the door...
- Oh, my God.

He's so out of breath.

The British are burning
Danbury, Connecticut.

Okay. Okay, so Henry Ludington is like,

I need to go knock on every door,

get our militia, and save our country.

Well, here's the thing though.

I have to stay here to,
like, rally the troops,

and make the plan.

It's not like you can send an e-vite out.

So who's gonna do it?

I'll do it, comes a peep from the night.

Hey.

Blah blah.

I got it.

Sybil comes peep-peep-peeping
down the night,

and her dad's like, she's 16 years old.

She's a girl.

It's a [Bleep] hard-ass night outside.

It's 40 miles.

Well, [Bleep]. We don't
have a better option.

So yeah, we're gonna let her do it.

She sets out into the night.

So guess what happens.

It starts raining.

Well, snap. It's raining.

It's, like, wind-y trails and boulders.

She grabs a stick, and
she's... cha-cha... whacking it

on all the doors she passes by.

Ka-ka-ka.

She's like, the British are coming!

If you... the British are coming!

You have to follow me.

Come back to the Ludington's.

And if you're not coming,
then you're a mother[Bleep].

Go! Go! Go!

This is the moment where I'm like,

"oh, I really am drunk." [Giggles]

So she rounds a corner

and suddenly this ass[Bleep]
jumps out of the bushes.

Stop your horse.

You know, give me your purse or whatever.

She's like, all I have is this stick, so...

Aah, and just flap, flap,
flap, flap, flap, flap.

Flaps him in the neck.

[Laughs]

You know? Do you know what I'm saying?

Yeah, classic flap in the neck.

Yeah.

As it came out, it sounded weird,

but you know what I mean.

She just [Bleep] him up,
keeps going, don't have time,

have to round up militiamen.

She gets to every house on the route

spread out over 40 miles.

400 people follow her back

to Henry Ludington's home,

and he is like, oh, my goodness.

You did it. Let's go.

Let's go get these ass[Bleep].

Let's make it happen.

[Chuckles] Damn it.

I was doing such a good job.

Okay, so here comes
Henry Ludington's militia.

And they beat back the British,

and they were like, this is the deal.

And there you go.

And there you stay.

And there you went.

And bye-bye-bye, Charlie.

So a couple weeks go by.

Holy [Bleep]. Whew.

Life is back to normal.

Ba-ba-ba-ba.

There's a knock on the door.

And standing at the door
is George Washington.

And he is like, I'm here
to give a congratulations

to the best effort I've seen ever.

Henry Ludington is like,
you're welcome, sir.

And George Washington's like, uh-uh-uh-uh.

Stand aside.

I'm here to see Sybil Ludington,

who did that amazing ride.

Sybil, from the woodwork, comes out,

oh, yes, sir.

Thank you, sir.

I don't know why in that
part she had a British accent,

but he was like, you are the best.

You did it.

I can't ask for a better

spirit of force from anyone,

and huzzah.

And that's... yeah.

Huzzah.

20 miles is what Paul Revere rode,

and then double it, and that's
what Sybil Ludington did,

which is 40 miles.

That's the whole thing. Period.

End of history, and that's the deal.

And that's the whole...

? Naa-savenya ?

The nurses would just beat
the [Bleep] out of people.

[Blows raspberries]

Hitting them like crazy.

And Nellie Bly was like, aw, [Bleep].

That ain't cool. I'm gonna write that down.

The entrepreneurs who shaped this country

are kind of brawlers, and
that's the beauty of New York.

It's such a brawling town.

Usually in a fight, after it's done,

that mess, that cacophony of fists,

you're sort of part of a group.

And that group is who built America.

Come do a shot to get, like, [Bleep].

Good call. [Laughs]

Hello, I'm gonna tell you about Nellie Bly,

a very good journalist from the 1880s

who did an expose

on the world of mental illness.

Nellie Bly was a very strong-minded woman.

She gets a load of a column
from a local pittsburg paper,

and it's super sexist.

The article was like, chicks
got to stay in the kitchen.

Girls got to... why even
bother being educated

when you just got to get
married and have babies?

And she was like, [Bleep] this guy.

Girls are better than being in the kitchen,

being wives, and sewing [Bleep].

I'm super smart, and I'm
gonna show you I'm super smart

just to prove that, like,

women are awesome.

So Nellie... [laughs]

So Nellie Bly went to New York City,

and she knocked on every
newspaper door in the city,

and who answered the door
but Joseph Pulitzer himself.

And he's like, listen, I
don't take you seriously.

But I have an assignment.

I want you to pretend to
be crazy and get committed

to the insane asylum in New York City,

Blackwell's Island.

Nellie Bly said, okay, I'll do it.

And he was like, what?

And she was like, I will
go into the insane asylum

and give you a really good report.

[Dog barks] Right?

Right-right?

[Bleep] that dog.

[Laughs] [Laughs]

Oh, God, some people
have a lot of [Bleep] labs

and they're great.

This thing's a piece of [Bleep].

All right, so Nellie Bly, she
never saw a crazy person before,

so she went in front of a
mirror and made funny faces,

like, [Grunts].

See this face? The face?

[Blows raspberries]

She had no idea what crazy people say.

She was like, okay, this
is how I'm gonna be crazy.

Nah!

She goes to this bo... this boarding house.

Listen, everybo... every... listen,

everybo... every lady at
this boarding house with me.

I am crazy, okay?

[Dog barks]

- What?
- [Barks]

What? Oh, you're crazy.

- [Barks]
- Nellie, you're crazy.

You're crazy.

Yes, you're crazy.

The head mistress is like,
send her to the insane asylum.

And Nellie Bly was like, yes.

This is working.

This is super working
for me. I'm super happy.

And she finds herself
on Blackwell's Island.

Um... [blows raspberries]

I'm drunk as [Bleep].

Whoo!

So she was examined by a
doctor. Like, how tall is she?

And the nurse would be like,
come and look at how tall

this Nellie is.

And doctor would say, like,

what are you doing after
we measure Nellie Bly?

After the nurse and doctor
flirted for, like, a half-hour,

the doctor's like, oh, my God.

This Nellie Bly, she
is a crazy, crazy person

that needs to be here forever.

And Nellie Bly was like, yes!

I'm so happy. I'm such a good journalist.

She started to see how
[Bleep] the conditions were.

The nurses would just beat
the [Bleep] out of people.

Knock them in their ears.

[Blows raspberries]

Hitting them like crazy.

Like, you women are
all crazy, and you suck.

And Nellie Bly was like, aw, [Bleep].

That ain't cool. I'm gonna write that down.

These ladies are gonna get a word from me.

She sees perfectly sane women
who just don't speak English.

The doctors were like,
we don't speak German.

You're crazy. [Blows raspberries]

You go to the asylum for life.

And there was a woman,

she was like, I just
got a little overwhelmed.

I'm not crazy.

And they were like, this
woman is in... so insane.

There's nothing we can do
but keep her locked up at this

in-sylum forever.

The insane asylum was horrible.

And then there's the... the baths.

The nurses would just scrub
the [Bleep] out of them,

and Nellie Bly would be like,
this kind of hurts a little bit.

She was like, you be quiet
or I will... I will... I will

make you wish you never
said anything to me.

I'll scrub you so hard.

Wow.

I got at least two bathing suits.

Should we put them on and get in the tub?

Really?

You don't have the balls
to get in the tub with me

with a bathing suit, do you?

[Laughs]

Joseph Pulitzer's like,
hey, guess what, dummies.

She wasn't insane.

And they were like, oh, no!

We're exposed!

I've got some Yogurt containers (Gasps)

that we can pour over our heads.

Ah.

Look to the ceiling, Derek.

Look at... oh, it's so much
more pleasant to pour water

over your heads than my son.

He makes such a fuss.

This is such a delight.

Nellie Bly had to take baths with,

like, the dirt of 45 other girls on her,

and it was freezing cold.

She had this horrible

ten days in an insane asylum.

And then Joseph Pulitzer's like,

"hey, guess what, dummies.

Like, this crazy wave
girl was my sweet reporter,

and she, um...

And she...

She wasn't insane.

And they were like, oh, no!

We're exposed!

And she wrote an article
that exposed everybody.

All of the sudden money
was flowing like crazy

to mental health institutions.

She changed the world of mental health.

Nellie Bly was one of the
first great American feminists

that said, listen, stupid 1880s guys

with giant moustaches connected
to their stupid sideburns,

women are really cool.

That is basically how it
went except less kissing.

[Laughs]

Oh, no. Oh, no, no, no.
