SPECIAL GUEST ALERT Y’ALL!
This episode we are joined by Josh from the Bloody Beaver Podcast to cheers with us and share a very scandalous tale of his own. We toast Whiskey Highballs this episode, a crisp and simple sparkling mix loved by all who love spirits. Cheers y’all, to whiskey, podcaster friends and to fixin’ to talk about scandals!
ALSO DISCUSSED: The Legend of Highball Jackson, state-sponsored cashmere sweaters, doing crime better, that good butter, Mortal Kombat, Stephanie’s grandmother vs Tux’s grandfather, reproducing iphones, a dog named Semen, and the absence of heroes in history.
STEPHANIE & TUX’s scandal revolves around Ma & Pa Furguson, a very outrageous couple that both made history in their own ways. Governor Jim Ferguson became the first person in Texas to ever be impeached--rightfully so. Then his wife Miriam very conveniently became the first female governor of Texas. She openly campaigned as a stand-in for her husband and won! Two governors for the price of one! What a pair?!

JOSH tells the scandal of York, the African-American explorer, best known for his participation with the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Enslaved by William Clark's father and passed down through a will to his son, York participated as a full member of the expedition. Despite his unpaid contributions to the team his freedom would not come until decades after the expedition. Classic.

BLOODY BEAVER PODCAST
True stories from the wild and woolly west. Also really lame jokes! Each episode covers a real life person or event from the wild west era (gunfighters, outlaws, lawmen, Native Americans, frontiersmen, etc). Josh neither a historian nor a comedian, just a fan of history. He does, however, try to be as accurate as possible when covering these topics. All whilst dispensing dad jokes and totally butchering the English language.
