Welcome to Grandpa Is Him the podcast that digs into the smelliest, funniest and most unexpected historical moments.
00:00:14.356 --> 00:00:20.753
I'm your host, lynn Dimmick, and joining me today are my three brave guests Luke Blake and McCoy.
00:00:21.440 --> 00:00:24.710
Thanks for having us Grandpa, ready to make history sneak here.
00:00:24.710 --> 00:00:28.951
You know I thought podcasts were supposed to be classy, but I'm here for it.
00:00:28.951 --> 00:00:32.969
I'm still processing that I am on a podcast about farts.
00:00:32.969 --> 00:00:33.651
Let's do this.
00:00:34.259 --> 00:00:39.359
All right, let's jump in, starting with medieval England and Roland the Farter.
00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:40.344
Ever heard of him?
00:00:40.905 --> 00:00:41.749
Wait, Roland the who.
00:00:42.881 --> 00:00:48.162
Roland the Farter, officially hired by King Henry II for one specific performance.
00:00:48.162 --> 00:00:52.511
Every Christmas he'd do a jump, a whistle and a fart.
00:00:52.511 --> 00:00:55.523
In return, he got land and a manor.
00:00:56.966 --> 00:01:00.473
So you're saying this guy farted his way into real estate.
00:01:00.473 --> 00:01:03.924
That's one way to put it in the Zobberty ladder estate.
00:01:03.924 --> 00:01:06.870
That's one way to put it in the sovereignty ladder.
00:01:07.510 --> 00:01:10.055
Exactly, and Roland was not alone.
00:01:10.055 --> 00:01:18.105
In medieval Ireland they had professional farters called braggatori.
00:01:18.125 --> 00:01:20.793
Those guys performed for nobles and got paid in meat Like literally steaks and roasts.
00:01:21.275 --> 00:01:24.887
Yep, impress the chieftains with your gas, and dinner was served.
00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:31.716
Honestly, medieval life sounds both simpler and way stranger.
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:34.801
Alright, that's the circle of life.
00:01:36.682 --> 00:01:41.584
Moving forward in time, we meet Joseph Pujol, stage name Le Pentelmange.
00:01:41.584 --> 00:01:48.608
This 19th century French entertainer was famous for his precise let's just say rear-end control.
00:01:48.989 --> 00:01:51.730
Oh, what kind of control are we talking about here?
00:01:52.671 --> 00:01:55.091
All right, just listen to this for a minute.
00:01:55.091 --> 00:02:03.995
He could inhale air into his bathside and then expel it musically, imitate animals and even blow out camels.
00:02:03.995 --> 00:02:07.138
He performed at the Moulin Rouge to sold out crowds.
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:10.502
That sounds like something good.
00:02:10.502 --> 00:02:11.342
That's impressive.
00:02:11.342 --> 00:02:15.829
It's a really weird power Kind of sounds like a superpower.
00:02:15.829 --> 00:02:24.062
I'd pay money just to see how confused the audience was, for real Of course you would.
00:02:27.544 --> 00:02:30.348
Speaking of superpowers ever heard of Mr Methane.
00:02:31.508 --> 00:02:32.530
Is this a Marvel hero?
00:02:32.530 --> 00:02:33.069
I missed.
00:02:33.830 --> 00:02:34.231
Almost.
00:02:34.231 --> 00:02:39.637
He's a modern performer who wears a superhero costume and farts classical music.
00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:43.424
He even appeared on Britain's Got Talent.
00:02:43.424 --> 00:02:50.229
Imagine telling your parents that you're a career choice, and now people even sell their farts online in jars.
00:02:50.229 --> 00:02:51.393
Talk about gas.
00:02:52.979 --> 00:02:54.768
Historically farting wasn't just humor.
00:02:54.768 --> 00:02:58.711
It reminded everyone, including kings, that we're all human.
00:02:58.711 --> 00:03:01.067
Philosophers even discussed it.
00:03:02.320 --> 00:03:06.151
Remember you are immortal and occasionally gassy.
00:03:06.151 --> 00:03:09.085
I think we found our next inspirational quote.
00:03:09.085 --> 00:03:09.747
Please no.
00:03:15.942 --> 00:03:20.526
To wrap it up, arts have earned people manners, meat and massive popularity.
00:03:20.526 --> 00:03:23.325
Any thoughts on today's Winfield History Tour guys?
00:03:24.300 --> 00:03:27.604
Um no, this is like overall.
00:03:27.604 --> 00:03:30.087
Why would people pay for that?
00:03:30.087 --> 00:03:37.026
I'm mostly impressed by the career paths available if you're willing to get creative.
00:03:37.026 --> 00:03:41.171
I think that we just proved history doesn't have to be boring.
00:03:41.171 --> 00:03:43.627
It can also be hilarious and a bit smelly.
00:03:44.401 --> 00:03:45.927
I could not have said it better myself.
00:03:45.927 --> 00:03:49.991
Thanks to Luke Blake and McCoy for joining, and thanks to everyone listening.
00:03:49.991 --> 00:03:53.090
Until next time, keep history weird and wonderful.
00:03:53.090 --> 00:03:54.664
This is Grandpa's Hymn.
