71: 1826 Timeline Twist & The Great Christmas Eggnog Riot

On today’s episode, we discuss the invention of “Friction Lights/Lucifers”, the very first Cowes Regatta, brought to us by the playboy prince, George IV, the cinematic universe of Kevin Costner brought to us by The Last of the Mohicans, the first ever photograph, and the time when frenemies turned penpals (Jefferson and Adams) died within hours of each other on the Jubilee of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, in the 1826 Timeline Twist. Next, Amy Jo presents the delightful story of dairy laden debauchery at West Point Military Academy, when cadets had had enough of the strict rules, and hatched a plan with the help of the “most important bartender in American history”, Benny Havens. After the success of the secret nighttime mission, the revelry escalated into door-knocking games, hiding in plain sight, the reading of The Riot Act, the suspicion of an impending massacre, stolen instruments, murder plots, piled furniture, and finally an inquest. For content sources visit our website: youaintawoofinpod.comFollow and SupportInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/youaintawoofinpod/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/YouAintaWoofin/Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/youaintawoofinpod.bsky.social Patreon: http://patreon.com/user?u=106344174
