Harriet Tubman was like,

this is about to be, like,
a real stealth operation.

You [bleep]s have never seen
no [bleep] like this before.

Why would you wait till I'm
at my drunkest to do this?

- Virginia Hall had a wooden leg.
- Ow.

But she's blowing up bridges,

and the head of the
Gestapo is like, that bitch.

But he was a bad guy, so
he used terrible language.

Roald Dahl was a fighter
pilot who crash-landed,

and he was a [bleep] spy.
Literally a [bleep] spy.

3x04 - "Spies"

Well, a spy during war
is gonna go behind enemy lines,

and they're going to try to...

Oh, wait. I'm drunk.
I can't use big words. [laughs]

For a spy, I would need
maybe an Austin Martin,

I mean... or an Aston
Martin, for the chicks.

Who was Harriet Tubman?

I love Harriet Tubman.
Underground Railroad.

Freed millions... well,
maybe not millions.

I don't know the exact amount.
But freed a number of slaves.

She was like the
James Bond of Georgia.

[Derek] Wait.
Give me that song again.

- Which one?
- Bitch called me about a week ago.

[laughs]

First of all, how do
you not know this song?

I can't hear.

? Bitch, caught a
body 'bout a week ago ?

? [bleep] with us and
then we tweakin', ho ?

? Tweakin, ho ?

- # Bitch called me 'bout a week ago #
- No. It's... [laughs]

He's saying, "Bitch, I caught
a body 'bout a week ago,"

meaning, "I killed
somebody about a week ago."

Oh, now, that's where I
draw the line. [laughs]

Hi, my name is Crissle,
and today we're gonna talk

about the Civil War spy
Harriet Tubman.

So Harriet Tubman does
not get her just due.

Like, you hear her name, and you think,
she led the slaves to freedom.

But you most certainly do not know

that she was a spy for the Union.

So the thing was, when
the Civil War started,

Harriet Tubman was like,
wait a minute. I can do way more.

So she went down there to Port Royal,

which is in South Carolina,

and the Union had, like, taken it over.

But it was still com...
It was still, like...

like, not smothered and covered.

That's [bleep] like biscuits.

It was... it was
surrounded by Confederacy,

like, places and [bleep].

And at first, she's just
like a regular-ass person.

She was a nurse.
And that's when she was like,

I know can do better than
this. Like, I know can free

way more slaves than what
you guys are doing right now.

And that's when she went
to the colonel and was like,

I could totally be a spy for you.

I have connects, and, like,

when I dress up and [bleep],
those people have no idea who I am.

And the colonel was like...
[belches] Excuse me.

I got, like, a good
15 minutes left in me

before the liquor takes over,
and God only knows what I'll say.

That's great.
[laughs]

And so then the colonel was like, yeah,

obviously my white ass
can't go down there.

Absolutely, you can be a spy.

You down there, do
what the [bleep] you do.

So she's like, okay, let me
put on my field hand clothes.

And she was, like, five
feet tall, so it was very

easy for her to, like,
blend into the background.

And she is able to, like,
go to the plantations,

and she was like, hey, guys, like,

not to stir up any [bleep] or whatever,

but, like, I know y'all
are tired of being slaves.

I was totally tired of being a slave.

And none of us have to be
slaves anymore, so, like,

whoever's down to help the
Union, just let me know.

So everybody was like, cool.
And then she would go out...

she had these friends who were mariners,

which are basically just, like,
people who work in the water...

like, with water [bleep].

And she's like, I know
there are mines out here,

so let's work together and
find out where this [bleep] is,

because I'm a spy,
and I'm gonna get this [bleep].

Like, I'm gonna burn this [bleep] down.

And so then she went back to
the colonel, and she was like,

I have this idea to burn
up all the plantations.

Here's all my research,
and you should just let me do it.

And the colonel was
like, well, [bleep] it.

Like, I don't have [bleep] to lose.

Like, let's work together
and burn that [bleep] down.

And so they got together,
and she was like,

listen, this is about to be...
like, I'm not even about to [bleep] you.

This is about to be some [bleep].

Like, this is about to be,
like, a real stealth operation.

You [bleep]s have never seen
no [bleep] like this before.

Like, I got some dope-ass
[bleep] planned out.

But I need y'all to all be down

and just do what the [bleep] I say.
I got this [bleep].

And June 1, 1863... yes.

On 1863, they begin this raid.
So Harriet Tubman is, like,

on the Combahee River and [bleep].

She was like, I'm down for this [bleep].
Like, I'm ready.

And so when the raid started, like,

she knew where the mines and
[bleep] were in the water.

She and her team of mariners...
it would have been like,

aw, [bleep] that,
aw, [bleep] that.

Like, we're not gonna get caught
by your stupid-ass traps,

you [bleep] slave owners.

And then the owners of the
plantation... these crazy-ass

racist white people would see
all these black people coming,

and they'd be like,
what the [bleep] is this?

What the...
What the... this mic moved.

- Oh, right. Yeah, yeah.
- Is it still...

I'm sorry. I'm focused.

And they were like, hey,
hey, racist-ass white person.

Here's another racist-ass white person
here to warn you that,

you know, Harriet Tubman is coming

with her army full of bad bitches.

And so then they would
start shooting and [bleep].

But by then, Harriet Tubman was
like, bitch, you're too late.

Like, me and my people are already here.

And guns back then was [bleep], like,
just basic as [bleep].

Them guns wasn't doing [bleep].

So they would take their torches
and [bleep] and be like, yah!

And go there... and go in and just

[bleep] burn these
plantations down and then dip.

And then they would go again.

Like, this raid, it was 25
miles along the Combahee River.

And they're just, like, burning
[bleep] down, freeing slaves,

getting on the boat, traveling again,
avoiding the mines.

And so at the end of the
day... night... end of the raid,

Harriet Tubman was like,
goddamn, I freed 750 slaves.

Like, this [bleep] is dope as hell.

And her plan... it was the
first military operation

that was executed and
led by an American woman.

And it was planned by a former slave
who could not read or write,

who was only five feet tall,
who was both black and a woman.

And she still pulled this [bleep] off.

She helped the Union win the war.

She freed, like, at least
1,000 slaves in her lifetime.

She was just dope as hell.

God, black people have been
through so much [bleep].

Black people have been through so much.

I-I don't know how to
respond to that. [laughs]

Except... I agree.

[music]

I'm sorry. Tell me
your Australian accent?

I can't do accents.

Can you say "fair
crack of the whip, mate"?

And is that saying, like, good job?

- No, it's like, give me a fair go.
- Okay.

- Fair crip... Fair... grip.
- Crack.

- Fair crack of the whip, mate.
- It's not terrible.

Fair crack of the whip, mate.

Believable?
[laughs]

Where does our story take place?

It takes place all over the place.

But the story starts in Baltimore.

- Are you from Baltimore?
- Bal'more.

Bal'more.

- Yeah.
- Okay.

Hello, I'm Claudia O'Doherty,

and today we are gonna be
talking about Virginia Hall,

who was a very good spy.

So in 1906, in Baltimore,
Virginia Hall was born.

And she's like, I love Europe.

Maybe I should get a job
for the Foreign Service.

I'm very qualified
for that kind of thing

'cause I'm so smart
and good at languages.

And then she takes the entrance
exam for the Foreign Service,

but she fails because it's a
very hard exam. She was very sad.

When she got the results,
she was like, oh, man.

But she said, you know what?
I need to blow off some steam.

And then she decided to go to Europe.
And she's having a good time.

When she was in Turkey in
1933, though, she was like,

hey, friends, let's
go on a hunting trip.

And they're just having a very
good time shooting all the animals.

And then she's like, I'll
just climb over this wall...

or a fence.
I'll just climb over this fence.

And she's climbing over,
her legs get caught,

and she shot her left foot off.
Ow.

- Ahh.
- Mm-hmm.

And she gets fitted with
a custom prosthetic leg.

And she called her leg Cuthbert.

- Cuff bit?
- Cuthbert.

- Cuthbert.
- That's what she calls it.

And then what happens?
World War II.

And she's like,
hmm, huh, not cool.

But anyway, I know what
I'll do. I'll sign up to

be an ambulance driver
for the ambulance corps.

That's a very dangerous
job in Paris in 1939,

and she is like, I don't even care.

So then she goes to London.
She goes to a dinner party,

and the dinner party's in a
bomb shelter during an air raid.

So she's having a good
time at the dinner party,

and she meets this
woman named Vera Atkins,

who is like, ooh, this
woman could be of use to us.

So she says to Virginia, by the way,

I work for SOE:
Secret Operations Executive.

It's a British spy gang.

And she brings in this
big, handsome French guy,

and he says, would you
like to be a spy for us?

And Virginia is like, yes,
that would be incredible.

So she goes back to France,
and she assumes a new identity.

And she's just, like, a
really nice journalist.

But actually, she's organizing
the French Resistance.

So she's supplying weapons,

supplying money, organizing guys.

She's also organizing
escapes from prison camps.

She is just causing such
trouble for the Germans.

And they're hearing
rumors about this woman

who was organizing
the French Resistance.

And they didn't know who
she was, but they knew that

she had a limp, which was
embarrassing for Virginia,

'cause she didn't think
she did have a limp,

so that's a very sad part of
the story, right? [chuckles]

And the head of the
Gestapo is Klaus Barbie,

who's also known as the
Butcher of Lyon.

And he's like, what I wouldn't give
to get my hands on

- the neck of that bitch.
- [Derek] You said bitch.

Yeah, but he was a bad guy,
so he used terrible language.

So everybody's looking for her now.

There are "Wanted" posters
with her likeness on them.

They're like, look out
for this limping lady.

And she's like, excuse
me, I don't even limp.

But she probably... anyway.

So she's like, how am I gonna get out?

I can't go through
any of the checkpoints.

So because she's got no other option,

she hikes over the
snowy Pyrenees Mountains

with one leg, and she gets out of there.

But then who's entered the war?
The Americans.

And they're like,
we're looking for spies,

and she's like,
hello, I'm a very good spy.

And they're like, great,

but you're gonna need
a really good disguise.

And so she dyed her hair gray,
put on two skirts and two sweaters,

and she had her fillings changed

so she had French fillings
rather than American fillings.

- She looks like Mrs. Doubtfire.
- Exactly.

And also, she shuffled so she
didn't have a limp anymore.

So then she goes back into France,

and she's just delivering
cheese everywhere.

But actually, she is wreaking havoc.

She's blowing up bridges,

blowing up train lines,
cutting telephone lines,

but it's very dangerous.

The whole time, the
Germans are looking for her.

- And then the war ended.
- That's kind of good.

So that was good.

So then Truman is like,
I'm gonna give you a medal.

And it is called the
Distinguished Services Cross.

So she gets the award, and she goes,
you know what I'd like to do now?

I'd like to finally join the Foreign
Service like I've always wanted.

And they're like, budgetary cutbacks.

You can't be in the Foreign Service.

But we've got this new organization.
Would you mind joining that?

And that turned out to be the CIA.

And so she's the first
woman to ever be recognized

as a member of the CIA's career staff.

So Virginia Hall was a
true legend, and she didn't

let anybody tell her what
she could and couldn't do.

Not bad for a girl from Bal'more.

Stay tuned for more
"Drunk History: Spies."

[laughs]

[patriotic music]

Here's Roald [bleep] Dahl.

Ladies were just going nuts for him.
So they [bleep] a lot,

and he got so much information
through so much of his dick.

So what I was thinking is,
I want to spy on this bar

so no one's gonna know who I am.

- All right. Let's do this.
- Let's do it.

[suspenseful music]

[bleep] "Drunk History."

[crowd chattering]

Where are you from?

Originally from Tennessee.
Have you ever seen this program?

Is it... Is it funny?

Doesn't sound... I've seen, like...

On, like, a scale of one
to ten, ten being funny...

I like Jeff Dunham. You
know, with the puppets?

That light's real bright.

You just have to put
your arm down, though.

That's the only thing.

What makes an amazing spy?

In order to be a spy,
you have to be... silent.

And sometimes people end up
trusting you and tell you information

that they otherwise wouldn't
tell you if you were a spy.

Awesome.
Thank you guys so much.

We get pay?
Do we get paid?

What do you guys want us to say now?

All right.

Holy [bleep].
It's D Money.

This is Mission: Impossible 5: D Money."

- [Derek] Lucius.
- Yes.

- Please grab that glass.
- What glass?

It's called balance.
Remember this?

Whatever. You can be
as drunk as you want.

See? Look. You think
that's gonna go down.

- Grab it.
- It's so not. No, no, no.

You think "grab it." No.

It's making me...
it's freaking me out.

No. I know. Remember this?

No. Why do you keep
saying do I remember that?

[laughs]

Why the [bleep]
would I remember that?

Do I remember my hands?
Sure.

My name is Lucius Dillon.

Today we're gonna talk
about Roald Dahl...

[blows raspberry]
and his life as a British spy.

World War II, Roald Dahl was
a fighter pilot for the RAF,

the Royal Air Force.
And he loved fighting them Nazis,

and he's like, aww, this is great.

And so he had to go and
fly to a base in the desert.

He ran out of gas, hit the
ground at 75 miles an hour,

cracked his skull.
He had to drag himself out of the plane

before the gas tanks exploded.

So he was pretty much was, like,
invalided out of the Royal Air Force.

But then a famous author,
C.S. Forester,

wanted to interview him about his crash.

Dahl was like, okay, you know what?
My mind's a little spotty.

Let me just write down
some notes for you.

Forester's like, okay,
send it to me later.

So Dahl sat down to kind
of write it, and his mind

was kind of muddled because
he went through a crash.

But he wrote, like, a really good story,

sent it to Forester,
and Forester wrote back and was like,

okay, look, you were
supposed to give me notes,

not write a full [bleep] story.

This... this is great.
This is amazing.

I'm not changing a word.

I'm sending this straight to
"The Saturday Evening Post."

So that got sent, and it
was actually really popular.

He realized, like, okay, I
can tear a pretty good yarn,

or, I don't know if that's
the right term, but... [laughs]

I can write a pretty good story.

[sputtering and squeaking]

See? You got to tickle it.
You got to know...

[giggles]
Just keep going.

He was the talk of the town,

and so he was invited to
a lot of these parties.

And he met up with a really cool guy
called Bill Stephenson.

And Bill Stephenson's like,
hey, what's going on with you?

And Dahl's just like, I
want to help out England.

I didn't bust my nuff...

I didn't bust my nut enough in England.

And I still didn't do enough.

Stephenson was like, well, I-I...
there is other stuff you can do.

So Dahl was hired into
a dark propaganda section

referred to as the BSC,

which stands for
British Security Council.

And a lot of other people were hired:

Noel Coward, who was a
famous playwright and actor,

and also Ian Fleming,
who some people might know

as James [bleep] Bond.

And Stephenson was like,
let's put you into some good

political parties, and meet
everyone you [bleep] can

and report everything back to us.

He was like, okay.

So here's Roald [bleep] Dahl,
tall, handsome [bleep],

long-ass face,
eloquent-ass tongue.

But every time when he was at the party,

like, he'd be eavesdropping
on newspaper people,

politicians and secretly just, like,

scribbling, you know, little
things on, like, napkins

and reporting it to England.

He would also get into finding
information through pillow talk.

So he had a list of ladies
that he would go through,

like Cissy Patterson had her claws

into the "Washington Herald-Times,"

and she's like, you
want to see the boudoir?

And he's like, yes please.

So he [bleep] the [bleep]
out of her for a while

and got whatever
information that he could.

Then he went to Evalyn McLean.

She knew every politician in the world,
so they [bleep] a lot.

So he met Claire Booth Luce.

She was a congresswoman,
and they [bleep].

And he got so much information
through so much of his dick.

But after a while, and
this is an exact quote,

like, he called Ambassador
Halifax and was like,

look, I am [bleep] out, okay?

This goddamn woman has [bleep] me

from one end of the room to the other.

I'm done. I can't do it.
I'm squirting dust.

And the ambassador's like, just
close your eyes and think of England.

And Dahl's like, great, okay.
I guess I will.

- Get your chin off my neck.
- I'm just... no, it's...

No, that wasn't... my
chin wasn't on you at all.

I feel like we're laying on two Muppets.

[laughs]

Yes. [coughs]

Oh, Jesus. Is this your death scene?

If you die on the show, we're [bleep].

[suspenseful music]

- I'm not puking enough.
- You don't need to puke.

[glasses clink]

[bleep], I got to drink this.

- I gotta drink this.
- No! [groans]

Ooh. How have you
had this much of that?

I've had seven glasses of this.

Okay, so FDR is in his third term.

Britain was like,
okay, he's getting old.

We are worried that he's gonna die,

because he's our biggest
supporter right now.

You need to let us know
everything that's wrong with him.

And he's like, yeah, I'll be right over.

Uhh,
and now I'm here, right now.

And so, luckily,
Eleanor Roosevelt is like,

hey, I'm a big fan of yours,
so meet my husband.

And he's like, oh, yeah,
nice to meet you, FDR.

Nice to meet you too, Roald Dahl.

And they have a lovely time.
They drink a lot.

So he took note of everything,
wrote it all in a 12-page document,

and it worked out very
well until FDR died.

And then the war ended,

and Dahl's life as a spy was over.

He was like, [bleep], what can I do now?

He's like, well, I need to make a buck,

so let me just go for
the easy money and just...

I'll just write some [bleep]
children's novels. That'll be great.

So he wrote "James and the Giant Peach,"
which was amazing.

And then in the same year,
he wrote "Charlie and

the Chocolate Factory," which,
holy [bleep], was the best.

And he wrote "Charlie and
the Great Glass Elevator,"

wrote "The Witches,"
wrote "The BFG,"

wrote "Fantastic Mr. Fox."

He's hands down, [bleep] Dr. Seuss,

the greatest children's
author of all time.

And he was a [bleep] spy!

Literally, a [bleep] spy.

And because of his dick,
England was a better place.

I enjoy jay-drinking.
I enjoy drinking with you.

- "Jay-drinking?"
- I enjoy day-drinking.

And you're continuing.

Back before they had
cures for STDs

and y'all would just [bleep]
anything that would walk,

- Mhm.
- ...you would go to the doctor,

and you would be like,
hey, my dick hurts.

And the doctor would be like,
all right, put your dick on the table.

And they took a rubber hammer
and just hammered at your dick,

- and the infection would fly out.
