Welcome to Stuff You Missed in History Class,
0:03
a production of iHeartRadio,
0:11
Hello and Happy Friday. I'm Holly Frye
0:14
and I'm Tracy V. Wilson. We
0:16
talked about George High this week, the mixed
0:18
bag that is George High. Yeah,
0:22
he's a mixed bag, as I said, but I have fun
0:24
things to start with. So
0:28
early on in talking about George High,
0:30
we talked about his senior thesis
0:32
being about organic oils used as lubricants.
0:36
One of the.
0:37
Things that George and his collaborator
0:40
Paul did as
0:42
part of their tests, and I am doing the air
0:44
quotes, was to lightly coat
0:46
the inside of a growler keg
0:49
with oil and fill it. And
0:51
they realized that when they did this,
0:54
they could fill the keg
0:56
with more beer because it didn't get as sudsy
1:00
okay, And they apparently ran
1:02
this test a lot okay.
1:06
So I love the idea that these these
1:08
two college seniors had figured out a way to
1:10
game the keg system. It
1:13
sounds very very much in
1:15
line with the way you would think that two college students
1:17
would operate, but I liked that they applied science
1:19
to do it. There
1:22
is also a funny question mark
1:26
right up about his wife Blanche,
1:29
as all of the bad press was happening
1:31
during their divorce. Blanche
1:34
really did like smoking, like there's there's
1:38
obviously smoking is bad, don't smoke. But
1:41
like they were they were noting how much
1:43
she spent on cigars and
1:46
and cigarettes as like this
1:48
big gotcha thing, and she
1:51
there's one article where it's a picture of her
1:53
and she's talking about how smoking seems
1:55
perfectly delightful and sensible. She'd only
1:57
started doing it recently, but to her,
2:00
the reason that you should smoke is
2:02
that it's the polite thing to do. Because
2:05
you're in someone's home and they offer
2:07
you, okay, such a thing,
2:09
you should always take it. You're just being
2:11
polite. And I'm like, uh, that is
2:14
a At the time, I'm sure
2:16
it seemed very interesting and delightful
2:18
and exactly in line with social
2:21
morase. But today it's like reading that, I
2:23
was like, that's not polite. One
2:26
of the other things that came up that was just
2:28
like a weird factoid, yeah,
2:31
was that after George's death, like that
2:33
period between when he
2:36
passed and when the Smithsonian acquired
2:38
the museum was
2:41
really fraud like they were there was a lot of
2:43
fancy footwork going on to keep the
2:45
finances to a point where they could keep
2:47
it existing at all. I keep the collection together.
2:50
And one of the things that they did
2:53
that almost happened was
2:55
that ross Perrot might have been
2:57
a potential buyer. What on
2:59
the one deal
3:02
point that the collection would have to move
3:04
to Texas. Okay, which of course
3:06
was in George's will, that they couldn't right,
3:08
at least a significant part of it had to
3:10
stay in New York because I wanted to
3:13
serve New Yorkers. Granted, rich white
3:15
businessman new Yorkers. But yeah,
3:17
so that fell apart. I have absolutely
3:20
zero surprise with the idea that
3:22
if Rossboro was gonna buy it, it had to be
3:24
to Texas. Yeah, none whatsoever. But
3:26
what a weird, strange
3:29
thing. You and
3:32
I had talked about a little bit, like the legislation
3:35
about repatriation. So
3:38
we've talked about NAGRA, the
3:41
Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation
3:43
Act. I might have gotten some of those letters mixed
3:46
up. We've talked about a number
3:48
of different episodes, most recently
3:50
on On Earth we talked about the new final rule
3:52
on how it's to be implemented in
3:55
all of that if I
3:58
realized that nagra didn't
4:00
apply to the Smithsonian, that didn't
4:02
stick into my head.
4:04
Well, I have more information for you.
4:06
Yeah, it's I know, there's different legislation.
4:09
That's the legislation when they bought it, like
4:12
that that this other legislation
4:14
applies to the Smithsonian.
4:16
You go ahead.
4:16
Though my understanding
4:18
reading about that legislation was
4:21
that that was part of what catalyzed
4:25
NAGPRA. Oh really, and so it's
4:27
kind of a matter of, like Smithsonian has
4:30
this this setup already, uh
4:32
huh, we need to legislate to make sure other
4:34
museums kind of fall under it. So I'm not sure
4:37
if it's a case where the language of it
4:40
excluded the Smithsonian just because
4:42
it seemed like they were already on top of it, uh
4:44
huh, or for some other reason.
4:47
I haven't read through that legislation closely
4:49
in a long time. I can see it
4:51
potentially causing confusion or
4:53
problems. Oh yeah, if newly
4:56
written legislation applied
4:59
to the SMITHSONI that already had
5:01
specific legislation about the same
5:03
subject. I
5:05
have not been to the museum. So there's still
5:08
a Museum of the American Indian in New York that's still
5:10
there. I did not know until
5:12
this episode why that was, because if
5:15
you've been to, like
5:17
that's where all the Smithsonians are, and
5:21
that is where there is a museum
5:23
of the American Indian that I've been to a couple of
5:25
times, and
5:27
I did not. I was always
5:29
like, that's weird that there's also another one
5:32
in New York. And that's why we've
5:34
just talked about. Yes, now,
5:37
you know, I will say at this point,
5:39
and I'm just going to say, I know there are people
5:41
who were at the end of their patients
5:44
before I was born, but
5:46
it for me, having worked
5:48
on this podcast now for
5:51
eleven years almost
5:54
I'm just like super at the end of my patients
5:56
regarding museums and their repatriations,
5:59
and I'm just like, give it back. And I
6:01
have very little, uh.
6:04
Flexibility in that.
6:05
I'm like, if if if a colonized
6:08
people who were
6:11
subjected to an
6:13
attempt of genocide says
6:17
that's ours, give
6:19
it back, then give
6:21
it back. And I have no, like
6:24
really no arguments of like, oh but our
6:26
study, I'm like, I don't give it back.
6:28
It wasn't yours. Give it back,
6:31
right, And also
6:33
some of the things that we talk about on on Earth
6:35
that are like new research that's being
6:38
done and it's like unclear whether
6:40
there's permission involved of
6:42
like the indigenous people whose
6:45
history this is about. Sometimes,
6:48
you know, we'll get emails hoop from folks who
6:50
are like, well, yeah, the
6:52
the researchers have a plan to give
6:55
this nation everything once they're done with this
6:58
research, and I'm like, well, but this nation, I might
7:00
want that to stay in the ground,
7:03
right, So anyway,
7:06
that's my frustration
7:09
with all of this. Yeah, we
7:11
might get angry letters from museum
7:13
curators and anthropologists and I'm
7:15
still like,
7:18
like, we had guests
7:20
on the show some years ago from the Peabody
7:22
Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, and this
7:24
was a great They were very kind to us,
7:27
they were generous with their time and all of that. And then
7:29
it has seemed like in the years since
7:31
we did this, there's just been a series of horrors
7:33
and announcements about things
7:36
in the Peaberty Museum's collection. Yeah,
7:38
and I'm like, I'm so tired of
7:40
this. Yeah,
7:42
it's stopped doing it and give it back. Yeah,
7:45
It's really interesting. It's one of those things. I
7:49
this is an exception to one of my personal
7:51
life rules. Huh, because
7:53
I have a personal rule to never
7:55
tell anybody else how to do their job,
7:58
okay, because it happens
8:00
to us all the time. I have everybody where some
8:02
random person who doesn't understand
8:05
the way like somebody's industry works, who
8:07
is like, you could just do this, and it's like no, yeah,
8:10
I also find this very frustrating.
8:12
So I, like I said, I have a personal
8:14
rule.
8:15
I don't presume I know more than like you know
8:18
any anybody, but like, you
8:20
know, you see it a lot in fandoms
8:23
of various flavors where they think like
8:25
my favorite entertainer should just do
8:27
this, or they should or this movie should have
8:29
done this, and I'm just like, none of you have the right to
8:32
do this, or they'll get like the imagined
8:34
backstory that a person has made, what do
8:36
you think is happening? But it doesn't actually have to do with
8:38
that person's work reality at all, one
8:40
hundred percent. But this is the one
8:43
place where I'm like, Nope,
8:45
yeah, this is a problem
8:50
you especially because
8:52
when you read about many of these it's
8:55
like, uh, there's
8:58
no urgency, yeah, you know what I mean,
9:00
Like a repatriation request has
9:02
been made by a nation or a people, and
9:05
then it seems like that gets taken
9:07
in and there's an initial statement given
9:10
about like we're working on this project,
9:13
and then it's.
9:13
Like years go by.
9:15
Buck. I'm like, yeah,
9:17
I understand you have a lot of things going
9:19
on, but surely righting
9:22
or wrong of this magnitude would
9:24
get pushed to the top of the list. So
9:28
maybe I'm I'm wrong and I'm being completely
9:33
contradictory in my own policy, but this
9:35
is the one space where I feel like, no,
9:38
I'm with you.
9:38
Give it back.
9:40
There's stuff, Oh, you stole my thing
9:42
because you want to study it. Neat, it's still my thing.
9:46
Give it back.
9:47
I mean, if you simplify it that way, and
9:49
and you know, let's
9:51
say for the sake of argument, it's some random
9:54
possession of a person that they love
9:56
or has meaning to them and
9:59
someone just took and they're like, no, but I'm gonna study
10:01
it. And it's like, well, yeah, but you stole it, right,
10:03
Like this would be an open and shutcase. Yeah.
10:07
Well, and some of the like this is this
10:09
is why that so much work was done to
10:11
like reissue this new the new rule
10:14
about nagra, which again does not apply to the Smithsonian
10:16
with this whole episode is about Smithsonian. But like
10:20
one of the reason was that there were so many loopholes
10:22
and so many things that museums could
10:24
do to be like, oh, we're evaluating
10:26
this and like not actually take
10:29
action. And some of the things that would come up
10:31
as reasons to not repatriate
10:33
things were actually dealt
10:35
with in the legislation. Like sometimes,
10:38
especially when we're talking about like
10:41
human remains from very very long ago,
10:44
there might be more than one nation
10:46
that feels a tie to this these
10:49
remains, right, Uh, there
10:51
was already language.
10:54
About how to deal with that.
10:55
Uh. But sometimes the response
10:58
would be sort of like, well, there's two different we
11:00
don't know what to do. We'll
11:02
just keep it. And I'm so
11:05
I'm very tired of it. Do you want to shift
11:07
gears to a history mystery that's let's
11:09
do that. It's gossiping, because I feel
11:12
like I'm just ranting now, and
11:14
a rant that's gonna upset people. This
11:17
won't upset people. I don't think, Oh, it's like
11:19
I said, it's gossip. So this is very
11:21
interesting because I ran into this weird
11:25
stumbling block where I was I
11:27
knew George High had been married three times,
11:30
and I was trying to find information about
11:32
his third wife because Blanche obviously
11:35
is documented. Thea
11:37
is pretty well documented because she was so
11:39
involved with his work and was really like a collaborator.
11:43
His last wife is like this blip and I'm
11:45
like, okay, but who was she?
11:47
Where was she from?
11:48
What is this?
11:49
And like part of the problem
11:52
I think is
11:55
that there may have been some confusion
11:58
and maybe a cover.
11:59
Up about their relationship.
12:00
Ship who because in
12:02
that nineteen fifty eight biography
12:04
we read several passages from
12:07
by Mason, who was a friend and
12:09
like new George High personally, he
12:13
mentions that
12:15
his third wife
12:17
was Jessica Peeble's Standing,
12:20
Okay, And I'm like, okay, I'll look for
12:22
that name.
12:24
Now.
12:24
It's possible too that he just got some things
12:26
conflated or wrong, because
12:28
when I started looking for
12:32
variations of the name Jessica
12:34
Peebles, Jessica's Standing, Jesse
12:37
Standing, et cetera, I
12:39
found several news articles that list
12:42
her as George's sister, okay,
12:46
including one that is from
12:50
the Los Angeles Times when he is
12:52
out in LA and
12:54
it says doctor George G. Hih
12:56
and his sister missus Jay standing
12:59
were among the Easterner sojourning
13:01
at the El Mirador Hotel, having
13:04
a dinner dance, and I'm like, was he traveling
13:06
with the woman he was romantically
13:09
involved with and just telling people it was
13:11
his sister because yuck,
13:14
for a variety of reasons, like you
13:16
know what I mean, Like I think about divorce ranches
13:19
where they would be kind of doing a similar thing, but
13:21
they would go a little farther removed than a
13:23
sibling, So like, there's just
13:25
something really icky about it. Or
13:29
did he have a sister that
13:31
was I
13:35
don't know, It's unclear to me. I never found
13:37
enough info. Maybe his sister was
13:39
married to someone related to this part. I don't
13:42
know, okay, but I was like, this
13:44
woman is a bit of a mystery and she
13:47
kind of vanishes in
13:49
after the Nevada divorce ranch
13:52
time. Yeah
13:54
wow
13:56
George, Wow. And
13:59
he was quite you know, he was he
14:01
was on in years at that point. So
14:03
part of me wonders if she,
14:06
who was a good bit younger than him,
14:08
maybe married him thinking she would
14:11
get financial gain out of it and
14:13
then found him to be a work obsessed pain
14:15
in the neck and was like not worth it. I don't
14:17
know what happened. There's not
14:20
a good marriage anyway. That's our
14:22
gossipy history mystery. What
14:24
was the scoop with George
14:27
and Jesse? Why
14:29
was someone who sounds like her
14:31
being introduced as his sister? Damn
14:34
anyway, anyway, George,
14:37
high you complicated thing. The other thing
14:39
I didn't put in the outline, but I mentioned it
14:41
to you off handedly, is that and because I couldn't
14:43
corroborate it obviously, was
14:46
that he apparently would tell
14:48
his chauffeur that he wanted to drive and
14:50
he was a very reckless driver and it scared
14:53
everyone. And sometimes
14:55
this has been mentioned in articles where it's
14:57
like, oh, he's a wacky, flamboyant, rich
14:59
guy, collected a lot of cool stuff,
15:01
and it's like that could kill people.
15:03
I don't I'm not into that. I don't know if
15:06
I'm just too
15:08
This is the one place where I'm I play a
15:10
very safe but yeah,
15:14
drive responsibly and be careful with traffic.
15:16
Anyway. This
15:26
week on the show, we talked about Maria Arosa
15:29
and Banana Ketchup. I
15:33
have a number of stories to tell with for
15:35
this episode. The first one is because
15:38
Banana Ketchup is the thing that she's
15:41
just I think most associated with today.
15:43
And banana ketchup also a thing that
15:45
has a place in the hearts
15:48
of a lot of people from the Philippines,
15:50
or a lot of people who are
15:53
like Filipino American or you know,
15:55
have family who are from there importance
15:58
of banana ketchup. I want to see
16:01
what banana ketchup was like.
16:05
And so I had a whole plan where I
16:07
was going to get on the train and I was going
16:09
to go down to h Mart and buy some
16:11
banana ketchup. Turns out our
16:14
commuter rail was being replaced by shuttles
16:17
over the weekend, so I made a different plan,
16:19
which was to a different place called Super
16:21
eighty eight in Malden, Massachusetts.
16:25
And in addition to buying banana ketchup
16:27
at Super eighty eight, I bought like two big
16:29
bags full of other stuff. Yeah,
16:33
some of which was stuff that we legitimately
16:35
needed, and some of it was just stuff that I
16:37
like, I know, we like and we haven't had
16:40
in a while, or stuff that just looked good. So
16:44
the variety of banana ketchup that I
16:46
bought was labeled spicy, which
16:48
I didn't notice when I got it, and I don't
16:51
know offhand if there was also a regular
16:53
version Dear there on the shelf. If there had
16:55
been, I would have bought them both and
16:57
compared this spicy.
17:00
And though I really liked a lot,
17:03
I was a little concerned when I saw the
17:05
ingredients on it because one of the ingredients
17:07
was artificial banana flavoring. And
17:10
when I was a kid, my dentist
17:13
the the thing they would use to topically
17:16
numb your mouth before giving you novacane
17:19
for a procedure, oh, was fake
17:21
banana flavored, And I was like, Oh, is
17:23
this is this gonna? It did
17:25
add it did not have fake banana
17:27
flavor, and it
17:30
really didn't have anything that I would describe
17:32
as like cavendish banana flavor.
17:36
We said in the in the episode
17:38
that the bananas that Maria
17:40
Rosa was using were saba bananas, which are
17:42
like a denser, a
17:46
more flavorful banana. I think,
17:48
so this to me had a sweeter
17:51
flavor than tomato
17:54
ketchup.
17:54
Okay, that was the first
17:56
question.
17:57
The banana element, to me was closer
18:00
to like a green banana, like
18:02
an unripe cavendish banana,
18:04
than like a bright
18:07
yellow cavendish banana from an American
18:09
grocery store, gotcha.
18:11
And it also had a tanginess that I really like,
18:14
and of course spicy, with a spicy
18:16
level that I would say about
18:18
as spicy as
18:21
se roches sauce, which
18:25
I know these are too totally different, two
18:28
totally different sauces, but like that was to a
18:30
comparable spicy level to me. And
18:33
I ate that on some skylet potatoes
18:35
that Patrick made, and I ate it on some French
18:37
fries that I got with my dinner, and then Patrick
18:40
used it last night in a sauce for what he
18:42
made for dinner. All
18:44
of these things were very good. I was very
18:46
into it. It is thicker
18:49
and more gelatinous than tomato
18:51
ketchup, the one that we got. Anyway, how
18:54
would you compare it to the flavor,
18:57
because this is a thing I have never had. Did
19:00
you compare it to like the flavor
19:02
of like a plantain? Maybe
19:06
some plantain similarities. It's
19:08
hard for me to conceptualize
19:11
because most of the plantains I have eaten
19:13
have been fried, right, which
19:15
is just a very different mouth
19:18
feel, right of the
19:20
thoughts, But
19:22
yeah, I thought it was very tasty. Patrick was also
19:25
very into it. Patrick actually lived in Manila
19:27
for a month when we were first I remember,
19:30
and he does. He does not remember having
19:33
any banana ketchup while he was there. I think
19:35
it's possible that, like that
19:37
there were bottles of banana ketchup
19:40
in restaurants and things that he didn't necessarily notice
19:43
that that was what he was getting. But
19:46
anyway, I was very into the
19:48
banana ketchup. I did not try to make any
19:51
Filipino spaghetti, but
19:55
everything about the Filipino spaghetti
19:57
recipes that I have seen, I'm like, all, I'm
19:59
on board with all of this. So at some point
20:01
in the future, there may be a little Filipino
20:04
spaghetti experiment at my house.
20:05
I love an experiment.
20:06
I love a food experiment. One
20:09
of the things that tickled me at the very
20:11
beginning of this episode, and
20:13
it tickles me only because it has come up
20:15
in my brain a lot lately, is when you were mentioning
20:17
that there's a lot of overlap with other stuff
20:20
we have done. Oh yeah, and I feel like we have reached
20:22
a point where we have done, you know, more
20:24
than ten years of this of just us.
20:28
It's almost impossible anymore to find
20:30
a topic that doesn't interlock
20:32
with other stuff we've talked about. I'm sure
20:34
there are some out there, but in
20:37
a way, I kind of love it because we're putting together.
20:40
I have often talked with people talk about like how
20:42
we put episodes together, Like
20:44
when we're doing live shows or whatever, that's a question
20:46
we get a lot about how. To me,
20:48
it's almost like, you know, shaking up a puzzle
20:51
box and throwing it on the table and then
20:53
you figure out how the pieces fit together. But
20:55
I feel like I'm kind of a meta version of
20:57
it, and the bigger level of world history,
20:59
we're doing this same thing with all of the episodes
21:01
we do, where we're seeing all of
21:03
the connections in nexus points throughout history,
21:05
and I just like it.
21:06
That's all.
21:07
Yeah. When I was writing
21:09
the introduction to the episode, originally
21:12
I was naming the
21:14
prior episodes that this seemed
21:17
particularly closely connected to. And then
21:19
the intro was so long that I
21:21
was like, this episode is already trending
21:23
toward the longer side. I got to take some of
21:25
this out. We don't need to
21:28
name all of the past episodes.
21:29
Yeah, it's.
21:32
It grows and grows.
21:43
So the other little adventure I had was a
21:46
telephone adventure. So we
21:49
mentioned that this collection
21:51
of her recipes was published first
21:54
back in nineteen seventy with
21:57
a niece spearheading all of this,
22:01
and I had
22:04
a scan of what I
22:06
think was the nineteen ninety
22:08
eight reprint of that gotcha.
22:12
I went to try to find the
22:14
twenty twenty, the
22:17
fiftieth anniversary one, so
22:19
that is called Appetite for Freedom, the Recipes
22:22
of Maria Lyle Rosa, and
22:25
I did not get a copy of this book. I
22:28
was not finding number
22:30
one note ebook of it, no
22:33
like US seller that seemed to have it.
22:35
I looked in WorldCat, and when I
22:38
first looked in WorldCat, there
22:40
were three libraries in
22:42
the United States that had a copy of this book.
22:45
In a weird coincidence, when
22:48
the weekend passed and I came to
22:50
work on Monday for the next step
22:52
of this story, and I went back to WorldCat,
22:55
there were four copies
22:58
of this in libraries in the un United
23:00
States, one of them not processed enough to
23:02
be able to check it out yet. So
23:04
when I first loked at the three libraries
23:06
in the United States that had copies
23:09
of this book were the
23:11
Library of Congress,
23:14
Yale University, and
23:17
Moral Memorial Library in Norwood,
23:19
Massachusetts. Wildly
23:23
enough, that library
23:25
is part of the minute Man Library Network,
23:27
which is one of the library cards
23:29
I have.
23:31
So I could have.
23:32
Requested a copy of this book and had it delivered
23:35
to a branch that's actually close
23:38
to me. Norwood is not Norwood
23:40
is like an hour in the car,
23:42
two hours on trains from my house,
23:46
and it was if I had requested it, it
23:48
would not have arrived in time for me to still
23:50
do the episode. I would have had to find something else
23:52
to talk about and move this one until later. So
23:55
I called the
23:57
library and I talked to the
23:59
reference librarian because I was like,
24:01
hey, there's at
24:04
that like four there's four copies
24:06
of this book in the United States in libraries,
24:09
and one of them is your library.
24:13
Do you know if there's a story there, like is
24:15
there maybe a book plate inside saying
24:17
that somebody donated it to the library.
24:19
And this very gracious reference
24:22
library and put me on hold and went to the shelf
24:24
and looked at it for me, and
24:27
there was not a book plate in it, but there was a handwritten
24:29
note saying that it had been a gift
24:31
to the library. So I
24:34
am assuming that there is
24:37
someone locally to Norwood,
24:39
who either has connections to the family, connections
24:41
to her an interest in the Philippines.
24:44
Is Filipino interested in Philippine
24:46
some reason, you
24:48
have donated this book to the library. I
24:51
don't know what that interested. That reason is bless
24:54
this librarian for humoring
24:57
my curiosity to go look at a book on the
24:59
shelf for me. Thank
25:02
you very much for doing that. I'm
25:05
curious about what the story is there. And I don't
25:08
know.
25:09
They may also just be like a
25:12
foodie totally.
25:13
That's the thing that yeah, or I
25:17
know from my days of working
25:19
in libraries that
25:21
cookbooks are one of those things
25:24
that can often appreciate
25:27
in value in a case that other
25:30
books may not because most of them
25:33
get kind of trashed because there's
25:36
them covered in you know, drips
25:39
of broth and
25:41
flower smears and butter and whatnot.
25:45
Some of in my head, it's possible
25:47
that someone maybe had had
25:49
it as part of a collection and then you
25:53
know, yeah, there was there
25:56
are also, like there
25:58
are folks who have a particul killer interest
26:00
in something who
26:03
sometimes will leave their local
26:05
library in their will money
26:08
to do something with. And I don't remember which episode
26:10
it was, but there was an episode that we did that involved
26:12
an artist, and
26:14
it was not as uncommon in this book
26:17
which you know, four copies according to WorldCat
26:19
in American libraries, but it was one
26:21
that did not have many copies. But
26:24
there was one in my actual local
26:26
branch that I was able to just go walk down there
26:28
and pick up. And it had a book
26:30
plate in the front that it had been paid for by
26:33
somebody who had, you know, been local
26:35
to the town where I live, who
26:37
had specifically left money
26:39
in their will to the library to acquire
26:42
art books. And I was like, I love this. I
26:45
love this whole. The
26:48
fact that somebody felt move to
26:50
do that in their will I really
26:52
liked. So. Yeah, if
26:54
people want more catch up history,
26:57
there is an episode of the podcast
26:59
Sabas that is all about ketchup. I
27:02
think it's from about a year ago. I did listen
27:04
to it when it first came out. I did not re listen
27:06
to it when writing the ketchup
27:08
part of this.
27:10
Uh this episode,
27:13
Yeah, it made me think about all the wild
27:16
flavors or the not flavors,
27:18
the wild colors of ketchup, yeah,
27:20
that have been tried by Hines. Yeah,
27:24
green ketchup not made from green tomatoes
27:26
just green ketchup. Yeah. I also found
27:29
reference to Hines actually doing
27:31
a banana ketchup at one point, and I
27:33
did not. I was like, when exactly was this
27:37
and where? So
27:39
yeah, I also love tomato ketchup.
27:42
I will just say that, uh ketchup,
27:45
tomato ketchup on some really good French fries
27:47
I'm excited about. No,
27:50
not for you.
27:51
I mean, I don't hate it.
27:52
It's not like I'm like that, but I
27:54
just doesn't do a lot
27:56
for me. I'm like, can we
27:58
mix this with some manaise? Please?
28:01
Could we? Which?
28:02
I bet banana ketchup mixed with mayonnaise might
28:04
be interesting. Banana ketchup sounds more
28:06
interesting to me because I do not care for
28:08
tomatoes. Okay, it
28:10
does not taste like tomatoes at all, so right,
28:12
and really tomatoes and the one that I got
28:15
really tomato ketchup doesn't really taste like tomatoes,
28:17
but not very much anyway.
28:20
But yeah, I am not I'm not a
28:22
big tomato anything person. So yeah,
28:25
I eat them because they're good
28:27
for me, but I don't like them and I'm not gonna
28:30
choose it as a condiment.
28:31
That's fine.
28:32
Banana ketchup, I will take
28:34
your little ketchup packets the next time
28:36
we are traveling together. Oh, this
28:38
is this is dangerous. I'm going to just bring
28:41
you a suitcase full and I have a suitcase of
28:43
leftover ketchup packets from Holly. Speaking
28:47
of traveling, Yes, we
28:49
do have two things coming up. One
28:52
is a live show yeah
28:54
in Indianapolis, which
28:56
I should have opened anything about
28:59
the details of this, I have them handy
29:01
great. That is going
29:04
to be on July
29:06
nineteenth, which is a Friday, at
29:09
the Eugene and Maryland Glick Indiana History
29:12
Center. It starts at seven point
29:14
thirty. We are
29:16
also offering a version of the ticket. You can just get
29:18
a ticket for the show, or you can get a ticket
29:21
where you can do a meet and greet with us beforehand.
29:25
You can get more information about that at
29:28
Indianahistory dot org slash
29:30
events.
29:31
Yeah.
29:32
And then the other travel is a little bit farther
29:34
down the road and farther
29:37
away from us, yes, which is
29:39
that in November we are going to Iceland.
29:42
So excited another group trip for
29:44
listeners of the show. That is
29:47
November two through eighth, twenty
29:49
twenty four. There is also
29:51
an optional add
29:53
on to that that includes
29:56
an attempt to see
30:00
the Northern lights, which
30:03
we may see the northern lights during the regular
30:06
trip, but this is sort of like a northern lights chasing
30:08
event and I think also a whale watch. Yes,
30:12
so those are things that can be
30:15
added on, so you can find out about
30:17
that trip at Defined
30:21
Destinations dot
30:23
com. We are
30:25
very excited about that, so you'll
30:28
probably hear it again. Yeah, yeah,
30:32
So Happy Friday. Whatever's happening
30:34
on your weekend. I hope it's great. If you love
30:38
banana ketchup, I hope you have access
30:40
to it where you live and
30:45
you know that you can make delicious things to eat
30:47
with it. You can expect
30:51
a Saturday Classic from US tomorrow and something
30:54
brand new on Monday.
