to Go to the Minstrel Show? It's One More Thing Armstrong and Getty One more thing.

Joe
Before we get to that, I was doing a little research on bimbofication as the story just broke a little bit ago about Kristi Gnome's husband, who is into the scene. The bimbofication scene, apparently, as all the pictures have come out of him in a tight little top with big giant fake breasts and tiny little shorts.
- [03:39]
Eddie
Reminds me of that weirdo teacher in Canada.
- [03:43]
Bobby Bones
Yes.
- [03:44]
Eddie
Although didn't he turn out to be making a statement, I don't know, against political correctness?
- [03:49]
Joe
I don't know. Yeah, it usually includes large augmented breasts, heavy makeup, blonde hair, form fitting or revealing clothing, and an affect of a ditzy, carefree, sexually available femininity. And then so the question I was asking, just the way he was dressed, it is is he a gay dude? Not that that matters. Well, it matters to his wife, probably. They're in a heterosexual marriage, but according to ChatGPT anyway, the community, the bimbofication community is mostly women and LGBTQ dudes. I'm sure there are some straight dudes, but it's mostly not. So who knows?
- [04:29]
Eddie
I don't know many straight men that put on lipstick and little pink tight shorts and but he's super into like bimbo fied women because he wants to be one.
- [04:41]
Joe
I. I don't know.
- [04:43]
Eddie
Wow. Wow.
- [04:46]
Joe
Anyway, sounds like a long therapy session. I have a feeling Oprah's gonna come out of retirement and do an interview with him. He will cry. He'll go through an entire box of tissues and explain how he's been hiding this his whole life. Or Diane Sawyer. She did the one with Bruce Jenner when he came out as Caitlyn Jenner.
- [05:04]
Eddie
Yeah, so he'll have a good cry, deflate his balloon boobs, restuff him with the Used tissues, pink shorts and dress like a man, damn it. Like a man.
- [05:15]
Joe
Corey Lewandowski will throw his head back in laughter.
- [05:19]
Eddie
Back to the minstrel show thing.
- [05:21]
Joe
Oh, and one other quick follow up to yesterday's One More Thing podcast, which I'm going to assume if you're listening to this one, you probably listened to yesterday's, which Joe brought us. That author, what was the guy's name?
- [05:31]
Eddie
Inman Diaries.
- [05:34]
Joe
Man, I did quite a deep dive on that throughout the day yesterday. Fascinating stuff. There's tons and tons of effect. He audio recorded almost all of it. So there's audio recordings going over many, many, many decades, him and his entire family, every single day, forever.
- [05:49]
Eddie
Yeah, he was absolutely a nut and cruel and selfish and morally indefensible. But he collected an oral history of the century unlike anything ever heard.
- [06:01]
Joe
It's one of the most thorough diaries of an everyman in the history of the world. And then he puts a bullet in his head at age 63 and that's the end of that.
- [06:09]
Eddie
Yeah, I actually ordered a 500 plus page edition of that. I mean it's. It runs, what did I say, 25 times as long as the Bible in its entirety. Who has the time? Ain't nobody got time for that.

shows fits into and I mentioned this. I can't remember what the other one was but it's USA 250 which is a year long Wall street journal series examining America's first 250 years. And they look at different aspects of American life for each of their articles. And this one is looking at entertainment in America. From singing Yankee Doodle to streaming Avengers, that's been entertainment. And then they start with the early Republic. It's all about music and fairs. Because mass entertainment didn't exist in the bigger cities like New York, and Philadelphia boasted theaters. But for most American families across 13 newly independent states, public entertainment options generally were limited to dances, feasts. I tell you what, honey, you go to the dance, I'll go to the feast.
- [10:49]
Joe
Yes, that's not a tough call.
- [10:51]
Eddie
And local traveling fairs. This professor of history says you have large scale gatherings of people for harvest days and feast days in the south, court days. Days also provided entertainment. Those were the days when the court was in session in a county, so all the lawyers and judges would come together. Anybody who had a case that they needed to hear or whatever would all come together, and everybody would come together for events like horse racing and wrestling on court days. On a typical day, an American family would be more likely to entertain itself at home by singing traditional folk songs like Barbara Allen, patriotic songs such as Yankee Doodle or hymns like Amazing Grace. Local families would visit each other to talk, make music, and play simple games like cards or checkers.
- [11:34]
Joe
I can imagine gathering my two sons on a Saturday night. We're gonna sing folk songs, handing out the lyrics. Not Barbara Allen again, dad.
- [11:43]
Eddie
Hey, come on now. It's a great song. Meanwhile, back on the plantation, black Americans, enslaved, were using homemade instruments such as stringed gourds to produce music with complex rhythms influenced by the African traditions, which would later develop into blues and jazz. And they like to tell traditional stories like Brer Rabbit and Anansi. Tricksters who provided models for overcoming powerful oppressors. See where that would resonate then. By the time we moved into the early 19th century, American families and cities enjoyed a new entertainment option. Public gardens, places of sanctuary built into cities where you could walk around in a more pastoral setting. Most of the gardens have stages where shows are put on and people start bringing their kids. So it's essentially just, you know, parks, pretty spaces. In the midst of the urban grittiness of the 19th century, which was some damn gritty grittiness, Entertainment entrepreneurs like P.T. barnum eventually expanded these gardens to include music museums and theaters where families could do everything from gawking at unusual people. That's one way to put it, yeah. Or animals. To watching performances of fairy tale characters like Aladdin or Goldilocks.
- [12:58]
Joe
Let's go Laugh at people with birth defects.
- [13:00]
Eddie
Oy. In the 1840s, some gardens and theaters began to put on minstrel shows. In a typical performance, family might watch a spoof of a Shakespeare play performed in blackface with heavy elements of pantomime, as well as the minstrel lineup in which the performers would get up one by one to sing or tell jokes when while the quote unquote end men at each end of the line cracked side jokes about the performances. Oh, I love that they tackle the performances. Yeah. Some of the most popular minstrel songs of the year are still sung today, like Campton Races and oh, Susanna, says this history professor. The Mistral show was clearly designed to demean African Americans, but it was also a major form of family entertainment. They're doing these things to appeal to kids. Then, interestingly, parlor pianos became more affordable in the mid-1800s, and a lot of people bought pianos. And the 1860s saw the emergency emergence of board games such as the Checkered Game of Life, which we talked about the last time we talked about this, which taught. And it became the Game of Life, which taught children moral lessons by rewarding virtues like honesty, industry, and ambition, while pushing vices like gambling, intemperance, or idleness. Remember, the key to that was some of the squares included humiliation, despair, and suicide. Yikes.
- [14:23]
Joe
Hey, you got nothing else to do.
- [14:24]
Hyundai Announcer
Yeah.
- [14:25]
Eddie
Then you got the Gilded Age or 1880s and 90s. Circuses got bigger and bigger. Companies like Ringling Brothers, Barnum and Bailey offered elephants, equestrian acts, clowns and contortionists. And a huge big top that could seat thousands. So that dates back to the 1880s. A contortionist? Oh, I do enjoy a good contortionist. In many places, the circus was the biggest business anyone had ever seen. They're very organized and modern. People were excited by seeing something so new, I'm sure. And then you'd have your traveling extravaganzas like Buffalo Bill's, Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild west shows. We've seen those reenacted in the movies, which I guess were just spectacular. They would have hundreds of performers reenacting frontier battles.
- [15:10]
Joe
Well, and then try to imagine that when. And you haven't seen anything the slightest bit entertaining in, like, five years.
- [15:19]
Eddie
Well, now, wait a minute. I was playing the Humiliation and suicide game at home with my friends and singing Barbara Allen.
- [15:25]
Joe
I mean, you haven't done anything the least bit out of work in school and raising kids every day, day after day, week after week, month after month, season after season for so long. Yeah. Anything comes along to town. It's going to seem pretty exciting.
- [15:41]
Eddie
Well, yeah, but how about hundreds of performers? Like reenacting the battle, Little Bighorn.
- [15:46]
Joe
Be awesome.
- [15:47]
Eddie
Shooting blanks at each other and stuff like that. Oh my God. You lose your mind. Philadelphia's centennial exhibition of 1876 was the first major world's fair to be held in the U.S. it drew nearly 10 million visitors, 20% of the population of the country. Wow.
- [16:05]
Bethenny Frankel
Geez.
- [16:06]
Eddie
In 1876? Yeah. And that was right around when vaudeville began to take off. By the 1890s, millions of Americans would go out to vaudeville shows every week. Typical vaudeville show involved a series of 10 minute acts like stand up comedy, dancing, singing and juggling. Vaudeville troops would travel the country by rail, performing at sites from small town opera houses to urban theaters seating several thousand people. Ground floor tickets were about a buck, but you got to adjust for inflation. Of course, in the home, a rich family might have one of the new phonographs that played music stored on wax cylinders. But most families were still making their own music using sheet music or songbooks. They were reading serialized fiction, newspapers or magazines. That was Charles Dickens, how he came to fame writing serialized books. Kind of think it up as he went. And then the early 20th century golden age of Hollywood. Early silent movies, etc. First projected on screen at vaudeville shows during intermissions. But after a while, people were like, that's more entertaining than the show.
- [17:15]
Joe
Right, right, right.
- [17:17]
Eddie
And then in the late 20s, sound came to movies and movie attendance grew by 40%. Almost immediately, they were amazed. They could see the top stars singing and dancing. They could hear the rat. A tat of the guns also made for a tremendous amount of creativity and movie making. It's interesting, airborne warfare came along earlier than talkie movies. I mean, maybe that's obvious in a way because of the technology, but I don't know, seems odd to me. And then, you know, we're much more familiar with the 20th century and how that's changed and there's no reason to go through that.
- [17:52]
Joe
I looked up the lyrics hit me. In scarlet town where I was born There was a fair mate dwelling Made every youth cry. Well, a day her name was Barbara Allen. Twas in the merry month of May when green buds were swelling Sweet William on his deathbed lay for the love of Barbara Allen. And it goes on and on like that.
- [18:11]
Eddie
Yep, I can just see me Song about a hottie.
- [18:13]
Joe
You see me and the kids sitting around singing that Might try that this Saturday night. Put away your. Turn off the tv. Put away your video games. We're going to sing Barbara Allen. Got a song for you. Yeah.
- [18:28]
Eddie
The leaves were the buds were a swelling kids. Come on now.
- [18:33]
Joe
People in the past were so dumb.
- [18:37]
Eddie
Sure, sure they were. Wow.
- [18:41]
Joe
Well, I guess that's it.

How do you think learning an instrument

Hyundai Announcer
helps kids with confidence?
- [19:30]
Inner Balance Representative
Learning an instrument allows them to discover a little bit further of who they are and be comfortable with it and then share a little bit about that with others. And if it's done in an environment that is celebrating and championing them, then that confidence can only go up.

This is Bethenny Frankel from Just Be with Bethenny Frankel Let me be blunt. Most dog food is junk. It just is. And I'm not feeding junk to Biggie and Smalls. That is why they eat just food for dogs. It's real, 100% human grade food with ingredients I actually recognize, not mystery pellets pretending to be healthy. And once I switched, the difference was obvious. Better digestion, better skin, more energy. Dogs who actually feel good instead of just surviving dinner. Here's the thing. You care about quality. You make an intentional choice to be healthy. So why are you gambling with your dog's health? So let's think about our furry babies. Go to justfoodfordogs.com right now and get 50% off your first box. No code. Just try it.
