They fuckin' punch him,

00:00:03,756 --> 00:00:05,125
and stab him,
4
00:00:05,158 --> 00:00:07,692
and Rasputin's yelling,
I can't fucking die!
5
00:00:07,722 --> 00:00:09,666
I got two fucking dicks!

This is what I was born to do!

(Laughter)
11
00:00:19,684 --> 00:00:22,108
Space exploration has its roots
12
00:00:22,138 --> 00:00:26,104
in Jack Parsons' mumbling occult rituals
13
00:00:26,134 --> 00:00:30,704

of his friend's boobs.

- Have you ever
- _
17
00:00:45,229 --> 00:00:46,866
been friends or known someone
18
00:00:46,900 --> 00:00:48,469
that you're like, Oh, this is, like,
19
00:00:48,503 --> 00:00:50,240
a real, like, fucking dangerous mind
20
00:00:50,273 --> 00:00:51,675
and I don't want to be around?
21
00:00:51,709 --> 00:00:53,512
Oh, yeah, I've dealt
with a Rasputin before.
22
00:00:53,545 --> 00:00:54,948
- You have dealt with a Rasputin?
- Yeah.
23
00:00:54,981 --> 00:00:56,149
I know girls like that where I'm like,
24
00:00:56,183 --> 00:00:57,479
I know how you get.
25
00:00:57,509 --> 00:01:00,189
Like, I don't want to
accidentally do crystal meth.
26
00:01:00,224 --> 00:01:01,159
- Right.
- Like, I just don't want
27
00:01:01,189 --> 00:01:02,126
- to accidentally do that.
- Yeah.
28
00:01:02,156 --> 00:01:03,862
To people that you... you think that
29
00:01:03,897 --> 00:01:05,233
you should trust, but
you really shouldn't.
30
00:01:05,266 --> 00:01:06,238
To you and me.
31
00:01:06,268 --> 00:01:07,268
Yes.
32
00:01:08,344 --> 00:01:09,344
Hello!
33
00:01:10,308 --> 00:01:12,846
Hello, everybody of the
Comedy Central world,
34
00:01:12,879 --> 00:01:14,283
my name's Chris Romano.
35
00:01:14,316 --> 00:01:16,286
And today, we're going
to be talking about
36
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,756
the dangerous mind of Rasputin.
37
00:01:18,790 --> 00:01:19,759
Nostrovia.
38
00:01:19,793 --> 00:01:20,894
Nostrovia.
39
00:01:20,927 --> 00:01:22,631
The story of Rasputin.
40
00:01:22,664 --> 00:01:25,034
He leave his house at 23 and says,
41
00:01:25,069 --> 00:01:26,993
I got to wander the wilderness
42
00:01:27,023 --> 00:01:29,661
of Siberia in Russia.
43
00:01:29,693 --> 00:01:31,130
And at the time, I believe,
44
00:01:31,163 --> 00:01:32,833
that was called a... a strannik.
45
00:01:32,866 --> 00:01:33,867
A strank?
46
00:01:33,901 --> 00:01:35,604
A strannik was just a... is a...
47
00:01:35,637 --> 00:01:36,872
is a religious wanderer.
48
00:01:36,905 --> 00:01:38,609
So he became, like, a
strannik, and became...
49
00:01:38,643 --> 00:01:39,949
A strannik.
50
00:01:40,406 --> 00:01:41,782
Right.
51
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,854
Exactly. He became a strannik.
52
00:01:44,887 --> 00:01:46,122
And so he...
53
00:01:46,157 --> 00:01:47,526
When he is out one night
54
00:01:47,559 --> 00:01:49,429
and he hears girls,
55
00:01:49,461 --> 00:01:50,630
like, playing outside,
56
00:01:50,663 --> 00:01:51,898
like girls laughing,
57
00:01:51,932 --> 00:01:53,035
like, real horny.
58
00:01:53,068 --> 00:01:54,068
(Laughs)
59
00:01:54,098 --> 00:01:55,673
(Falsetto) Oh, fuck.
60
00:01:55,705 --> 00:01:56,774
(Normally) Eh, oh fuck.
61
00:01:56,809 --> 00:01:58,044
So he sees three women
62
00:01:58,077 --> 00:01:59,813
skinny-dipping in the fucking pond
63
00:01:59,848 --> 00:02:01,738
and dives into the pond with them.
64
00:02:01,768 --> 00:02:03,538
Eventually, one thing leads to another,
65
00:02:03,572 --> 00:02:05,609
and he fucks each one of them.
66
00:02:05,642 --> 00:02:07,345
(Ostentatious Romantic music playing)
67
00:02:07,378 --> 00:02:09,247
Has a great time.
68
00:02:09,281 --> 00:02:11,285
(Garbled) So Rasputin
decides, he's like, look,
69
00:02:11,318 --> 00:02:12,755
I want to go to fucking St. Petersburg,
70
00:02:12,787 --> 00:02:14,223
'cause that's the capital of Russia.
71
00:02:14,257 --> 00:02:15,225
There's a fucking ton of women there,
72
00:02:15,258 --> 00:02:16,595
and I'm going to fuck
73
00:02:16,627 --> 00:02:17,930
until I get enlightened,
74
00:02:17,964 --> 00:02:20,076
until my fucking head explodes.
75
00:02:20,106 --> 00:02:21,370
He goes to St. Petersburg,
76
00:02:21,404 --> 00:02:23,306
and he's immediately
introduced to Tsar Nicholas.
77
00:02:23,340 --> 00:02:25,313
Course, he got a
beautiful, beautiful wife,
78
00:02:25,343 --> 00:02:26,779
Tsarina Alexandra,
79
00:02:26,813 --> 00:02:28,916
and their son, poor little Alexei.
80
00:02:28,950 --> 00:02:31,287
This little poor little
hemophiliac bastard
81
00:02:31,319 --> 00:02:32,442
who he can't even bump...
82
00:02:32,472 --> 00:02:33,540
if he bumps into a couch,
83
00:02:33,574 --> 00:02:34,542
he's gushin' blood.
84
00:02:34,576 --> 00:02:36,234
Right? That's embarrassing
for the family.
85
00:02:36,264 --> 00:02:37,548
It's kinda gross.
86
00:02:37,582 --> 00:02:39,619
Hey! Rasputin!
87
00:02:39,651 --> 00:02:41,922
Alexei's bleeding? Is
there anything you can do?
88
00:02:41,956 --> 00:02:43,192
Rasputin goes, Hey,
89
00:02:43,225 --> 00:02:44,627
relax, relax.
90
00:02:44,661 --> 00:02:46,831
He sits with Alexei for a little bit.
91
00:02:46,866 --> 00:02:48,435
Eventually, he stopped bleeding.
92
00:02:48,467 --> 00:02:49,435
He seems to be getting better.
93
00:02:49,469 --> 00:02:50,302
Then he's like, Holy shit,
94
00:02:50,332 --> 00:02:52,509
did you just cure fucking hemophilia?
95
00:02:52,542 --> 00:02:54,611
So, of course, the goddamn fucking...
96
00:02:54,645 --> 00:02:56,081
the tsar and the tsarina
97
00:02:56,115 --> 00:02:57,484
are super fucking happy.
98
00:02:57,516 --> 00:02:58,455
The czarina is like, Look,
99
00:02:58,485 --> 00:02:59,989
I gotta set you up with...
100
00:03:00,021 --> 00:03:02,025
with a fucking house and shit
101
00:03:02,058 --> 00:03:03,193
to fucking do this out of.
102
00:03:03,228 --> 00:03:04,195
Like, this is amazing.
103
00:03:04,229 --> 00:03:06,533
And it will be away from
104
00:03:06,567 --> 00:03:08,474
the rest of the fucking St. Petersburger
105
00:03:08,504 --> 00:03:10,675
aristocrat... aristocross...
106
00:03:10,708 --> 00:03:11,777
Aristocr...
107
00:03:11,810 --> 00:03:13,883
Aristocrocity.
108
00:03:13,913 --> 00:03:15,682
Aristo... aristocrate?
109
00:03:15,717 --> 00:03:16,987
Aristo...
110
00:03:17,020 --> 00:03:19,056
What's the fucking...
111
00:03:19,088 --> 00:03:20,893
Aristocrat, aristocrat-acy?
112
00:03:20,926 --> 00:03:24,231
Aristo... (Laughs)
113
00:03:24,264 --> 00:03:26,001
I need a fucking word.
114
00:03:26,036 --> 00:03:28,105
Aristo... the fucking rich
fucking pieces of shit
115
00:03:28,139 --> 00:03:30,209
that don't want you to do this.
116
00:03:30,242 --> 00:03:32,712
He... he starts having
these crazy fucking parties.
117
00:03:32,746 --> 00:03:34,049
He really, truly believes
118
00:03:34,082 --> 00:03:35,585
like, when I pull my dick out of here,
119
00:03:35,619 --> 00:03:36,753
you're going to see something
120
00:03:36,788 --> 00:03:37,989
you've never seen before.
121
00:03:38,022 --> 00:03:39,725
It's going to be enlighten.
122
00:03:39,759 --> 00:03:41,829
Um, my dick's full of hope.
123
00:03:41,862 --> 00:03:44,901
I call it the Obama Hope Syndrome.
124
00:03:44,936 --> 00:03:48,075
(Laughs)
125
00:03:48,108 --> 00:03:51,881
Also, FYI, no husbands allowed.
126
00:03:51,914 --> 00:03:55,754
This is a fucking BY-don't-B...
bring your fucking husbands.
127
00:03:55,788 --> 00:03:57,925
(Laughter)
128
00:03:57,959 --> 00:03:59,106
Should we get in the hot tub?
129
00:03:59,136 --> 00:04:01,102
- Sure.
- Oh, fuck, this hot tub
130
00:04:01,132 --> 00:04:03,770
feels real good on my... on everything.
131
00:04:03,802 --> 00:04:05,605
(Laughs)
132
00:04:05,639 --> 00:04:07,076
So, by 1916,
133
00:04:07,109 --> 00:04:09,346
everyone's soon slowly finding out
134
00:04:09,380 --> 00:04:10,392
like, Oh, these fucking parties
135
00:04:10,422 --> 00:04:12,449
aren't just to go fucking
drink and have fun.
136
00:04:12,479 --> 00:04:15,189
They're going in to fuck Rasputin.
137
00:04:15,224 --> 00:04:17,194
Finally, this guy, Felix,
138
00:04:17,227 --> 00:04:18,667
he's like, Here's what I'm going to do.
139
00:04:18,697 --> 00:04:21,702
I'm going to invite that
fucking prick Rasputin
140
00:04:21,734 --> 00:04:23,004
to fuck my wife.
141
00:04:23,038 --> 00:04:24,507
No way he's not going to fall for that.
142
00:04:24,539 --> 00:04:26,709
This fucking horny bastard loves cake.
143
00:04:26,743 --> 00:04:28,580
I'm going to fucking put some cyanide
144
00:04:28,613 --> 00:04:30,049
in his cake, and fucking let
145
00:04:30,084 --> 00:04:32,361
this fucking idiot eat... eat his death.
146
00:04:32,391 --> 00:04:33,690
I'll watch him fuck my wife
147
00:04:33,724 --> 00:04:34,892
and die at the same time.
148
00:04:34,924 --> 00:04:35,712
It'll be great.
149
00:04:35,742 --> 00:04:37,028
But also, the worst.
150
00:04:37,063 --> 00:04:38,633
So they feed him some cake.
151
00:04:38,663 --> 00:04:39,868
They watch him eat the cake.
152
00:04:39,901 --> 00:04:43,507
They sit back and go, Oh, he's dead.
153
00:04:43,541 --> 00:04:45,844
They look back at him,
two minutes later,
154
00:04:45,878 --> 00:04:48,015
he's finished the whole
fucking cake, not dead.
155
00:04:48,045 --> 00:04:49,518
They go, What the fuck is going on?
156
00:04:49,551 --> 00:04:51,721
That was a fucking horse-load
of fucking cyanide.
157
00:04:51,755 --> 00:04:54,193
- How the fuck is this guy not dead?
- Oh, wow.
158
00:04:54,226 --> 00:04:57,198
Besides pussy, this guy loves wine.
159
00:04:57,231 --> 00:04:58,934
We're going to dump some fuck cyanide
160
00:04:58,967 --> 00:05:00,102
in his wine.
161
00:05:00,137 --> 00:05:01,906
And they go, Hey, cheers!
162
00:05:01,940 --> 00:05:02,941
Let's fucking drink
163
00:05:02,976 --> 00:05:04,077
to fucking fucking my wife.
164
00:05:04,111 --> 00:05:05,647
Thanks so much for doing this.
165
00:05:05,681 --> 00:05:06,526
They look back at him,
166
00:05:06,556 --> 00:05:07,912
he's drinking all the fucking wine.
167
00:05:07,942 --> 00:05:10,556
He stands up, having
a fucking jovial time,
168
00:05:10,589 --> 00:05:11,314
and everybody's like,
169
00:05:11,344 --> 00:05:13,030
What the fuck is going on here?
170
00:05:13,060 --> 00:05:15,395
Why the fuck isn't this
piece of shit dying?
171
00:05:15,425 --> 00:05:16,934
And then they go, You
know what we need to do?
172
00:05:16,968 --> 00:05:18,905
Felix pulls out a revolver
173
00:05:18,937 --> 00:05:20,940
and fucking raises it,
174
00:05:20,974 --> 00:05:21,942
and shoots him in the back.
175
00:05:21,976 --> 00:05:23,276
(Dramatic music)
176
00:05:24,405 --> 00:05:27,352
Fuckin' Rasputin falls
down, and they go,
177
00:05:27,385 --> 00:05:28,587
He's fucking dead.
178
00:05:28,622 --> 00:05:29,891
Stay down here and party
179
00:05:29,923 --> 00:05:31,058
and fuck your own wife for once,
180
00:05:31,093 --> 00:05:32,237
you fucking asshole.
181
00:05:32,267 --> 00:05:34,698
They all go back, celebrating,
182
00:05:34,733 --> 00:05:36,435
Felix turns back
around, all of a sudden,
183
00:05:36,469 --> 00:05:37,939
he's fucking grabbed from behind,
184
00:05:37,971 --> 00:05:40,074
turns around and sees
that it's fucking Rasputin
185
00:05:40,108 --> 00:05:41,411
with his arms around his neck,
186
00:05:41,444 --> 00:05:42,714
choking him to death,
187
00:05:42,747 --> 00:05:43,949
and immediately starts freaking out,
188
00:05:43,983 --> 00:05:45,118
going I didn't fucking kill him!
189
00:05:45,151 --> 00:05:46,587
I didn't fucking kill him!
190
00:05:46,620 --> 00:05:47,621
And Rasputin's yelling,
191
00:05:47,656 --> 00:05:49,212
I can't fucking die!
192
00:05:49,242 --> 00:05:51,814
I got two fucking dicks!
193
00:05:52,098 --> 00:05:55,566
I got two fucking dicks.
194
00:05:55,596 --> 00:05:58,025
You can't kill a two-dicked man.
195
00:05:58,055 --> 00:05:59,439
You can't kill him.
196
00:05:59,469 --> 00:06:00,328
(Laughs)
197
00:06:00,362 --> 00:06:02,967
His cards come running to his aid,
198
00:06:02,999 --> 00:06:04,403
pull out their revolvers,
199
00:06:04,436 --> 00:06:06,941
and shoot Rasputin,
200
00:06:06,975 --> 00:06:09,082
each one time in the back.
201
00:06:09,112 --> 00:06:11,355
That makes it four shots in the back.
202
00:06:11,385 --> 00:06:13,905
He again rises and...
203
00:06:15,321 --> 00:06:17,326
They're like, This motherfucker is crazy.
204
00:06:17,359 --> 00:06:19,105
They fucking beat him to death.
205
00:06:19,135 --> 00:06:22,502
They fucking punch him, and stab him,
206
00:06:22,535 --> 00:06:24,004
They get a carpet.
207
00:06:24,037 --> 00:06:25,473
They roll him up in the carpet.
208
00:06:25,506 --> 00:06:27,009
They take him to a bridge
209
00:06:27,042 --> 00:06:28,345
and dump him over the side
210
00:06:28,379 --> 00:06:30,018
into the fucking water.
211
00:06:30,048 --> 00:06:30,883
And then, morning,
212
00:06:30,917 --> 00:06:32,052
when his body washes up
213
00:06:32,085 --> 00:06:34,827
along the shore, frozen to death,
214
00:06:35,309 --> 00:06:38,128
they fucking finally realize,
215
00:06:38,390 --> 00:06:39,965
Wow.
216
00:06:40,275 --> 00:06:41,703
This is the first time
217
00:06:41,737 --> 00:06:43,191
I've ever thought that maybe,
218
00:06:43,221 --> 00:06:44,524
just maybe,
219
00:06:44,557 --> 00:06:46,528
that Rasputin is human.
220
00:06:46,562 --> 00:06:48,932
He's not a god that
we all thought he was.
221
00:06:48,966 --> 00:06:51,672
He's a human being, just
like every one of us.
222
00:06:53,623 --> 00:06:55,047
On the count of three.
223
00:06:55,077 --> 00:06:55,893
- Okay.
- Is there a way
224
00:06:55,923 --> 00:06:57,782
for your [bleep] to just...
225
00:06:57,815 --> 00:06:59,618
make its way out of your pants
226
00:06:59,651 --> 00:07:01,384
and we stand up on the count of three
227
00:07:01,414 --> 00:07:03,559
and we see your cock?
228
00:07:03,591 --> 00:07:04,378
I'll do it for you.
229
00:07:04,408 --> 00:07:05,271
Thank you.
230
00:07:05,301 --> 00:07:06,533
- On the count of three.
- Ready? One...
231
00:07:06,563 --> 00:07:07,990
- One. Two.
- Two.
232
00:07:08,020 --> 00:07:10,046
(Both) Three.
233
00:07:10,771 --> 00:07:12,571
- Cheers, Doug.
- Cheers.
234
00:07:13,419 --> 00:07:14,419
(Laughs)
235
00:07:17,078 --> 00:07:18,522
Hello. I'm Doug Jones,
236
00:07:18,552 --> 00:07:20,522
and today we're going
to talk about W.C. Minor,
237
00:07:20,555 --> 00:07:23,961
the most important man
behind the most important book
238
00:07:23,995 --> 00:07:25,565
in the English language.
239
00:07:25,598 --> 00:07:27,000
That... that's not what you wanted.
240
00:07:27,033 --> 00:07:28,069
No, but I love it.
241
00:07:28,103 --> 00:07:29,199
Okay.
242
00:07:29,229 --> 00:07:30,818
In 1863,
243
00:07:30,848 --> 00:07:34,146
W.C. Minor graduated
from Yale Medical School
244
00:07:34,180 --> 00:07:37,426
as a surgeon and joined the US Army.
245
00:07:37,456 --> 00:07:39,589
He had blood in his hands
246
00:07:39,624 --> 00:07:41,527
and he was trying to put...
247
00:07:41,559 --> 00:07:44,531
people's brains back into their heads,
248
00:07:44,566 --> 00:07:47,291
and he was like, Oh, my god,
249
00:07:47,321 --> 00:07:48,575
this is [bleep] up.
250
00:07:48,605 --> 00:07:52,096
This is messing up my head.
251
00:07:52,126 --> 00:07:53,549
They diagnosed him
252
00:07:53,581 --> 00:07:55,618
with delusional paranoia.
253
00:07:55,653 --> 00:07:58,857
I gotta get out of here.
I'm going to move to London.
254
00:07:58,891 --> 00:08:02,481
February 17th, 1872,
255
00:08:02,511 --> 00:08:03,734
W.C. Minor
256
00:08:03,766 --> 00:08:05,336
wakes up in the middle of the night
257
00:08:05,369 --> 00:08:06,906
in a paranoid fit.
258
00:08:06,939 --> 00:08:08,742
He grabbed his gun.
259
00:08:08,776 --> 00:08:10,646
He thinks that a man
260
00:08:10,679 --> 00:08:12,282
has broken into his home
261
00:08:12,316 --> 00:08:13,785
and is trying to kill him.
262
00:08:13,817 --> 00:08:15,325
He runs outside.
263
00:08:15,355 --> 00:08:16,622
At that very moment,
264
00:08:16,656 --> 00:08:18,660
George Merrett was on his way to work
265
00:08:18,694 --> 00:08:20,383
at a brewery, like,
266
00:08:20,413 --> 00:08:21,797
do-do-do-do-do,
267
00:08:21,831 --> 00:08:23,802
? I'm on my way to work ?
268
00:08:23,836 --> 00:08:25,972
? I got six kids ?
269
00:08:26,007 --> 00:08:28,946
? My wife, Eliza, is pregnant ?
270
00:08:28,979 --> 00:08:31,216
? Ain't life glorious ?
271
00:08:31,249 --> 00:08:32,686
He turns around,
272
00:08:32,719 --> 00:08:34,388
he sees W.C. Minor
273
00:08:34,421 --> 00:08:35,924
run out of his house with a gun.
274
00:08:35,956 --> 00:08:38,260
Minor shoots George Merrett,
275
00:08:38,294 --> 00:08:42,368
fatally wounding him dead in the neck.
276
00:08:42,403 --> 00:08:45,141
W.C. Minor get entered into the
277
00:08:45,173 --> 00:08:50,250
Broadmoor Asylum for
the Criminally Insane.
278
00:08:50,283 --> 00:08:52,319
So because W.C. Minor
279
00:08:52,352 --> 00:08:55,157
was a prestigious doctor,
he get special treatment
280
00:08:55,192 --> 00:08:56,861
in the asylum.
281
00:08:56,891 --> 00:08:58,898
They give him two cells.
282
00:08:58,932 --> 00:09:01,403
They reunite him with
all of his possessions.
283
00:09:01,437 --> 00:09:02,972
He has so many books
284
00:09:03,005 --> 00:09:04,808
that he takes his second cell
285
00:09:04,841 --> 00:09:06,700
and turns it into a library.
286
00:09:06,730 --> 00:09:10,787
However, he's still racked
with the tremendous guilt
287
00:09:10,820 --> 00:09:12,355
over this murder.
288
00:09:12,389 --> 00:09:15,061
So W.C. Minor contacts
289
00:09:15,094 --> 00:09:17,431
the murder... Um...
290
00:09:17,465 --> 00:09:19,268
He wrote to his, uh,
291
00:09:19,302 --> 00:09:23,475
He want... he wrote
to his victim's widow,
292
00:09:23,908 --> 00:09:25,779
Eliza Merrett.
293
00:09:25,813 --> 00:09:28,851
Eliza pays Minor a visit.
294
00:09:28,884 --> 00:09:32,793
He said, Thank you for
coming today, Mrs. Merrett.
295
00:09:32,826 --> 00:09:34,709
Um, should I say
296
00:09:34,739 --> 00:09:36,466
Miss Merrett,
297
00:09:36,499 --> 00:09:38,469
now that you're single?
298
00:09:38,503 --> 00:09:40,475
(Laughter)
299
00:09:40,799 --> 00:09:42,022
Too soon.
300
00:09:42,052 --> 00:09:43,445
Too soon.
301
00:09:43,479 --> 00:09:45,882
All of a sudden, she notices behind him
302
00:09:45,916 --> 00:09:47,419
the guy's got a lot of books.
303
00:09:47,451 --> 00:09:49,088
So she says, like,
304
00:09:49,121 --> 00:09:51,091
I notice you have a lot of books.
305
00:09:51,125 --> 00:09:52,616
What kind of books do you got?
306
00:09:52,646 --> 00:09:55,131
Nothing much. Just a bunch of, like,
307
00:09:55,166 --> 00:09:58,939
interesting books by
people like Jonathan Swift.
308
00:09:58,972 --> 00:10:01,342
She's like, I love Jonathan Swift.
309
00:10:01,376 --> 00:10:04,824
"Gulliver's Travels"? That's
like, my favorite book.
310
00:10:04,854 --> 00:10:08,809
He's like, Me too. Like, OMG.
311
00:10:08,839 --> 00:10:10,326
You... you're just like me.
312
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,129
She starts coming to visit him
313
00:10:12,163 --> 00:10:14,265
at the asylum, like, once a month.
314
00:10:14,299 --> 00:10:18,005
Every time, she brings a
bundle of new books for him.
315
00:10:18,039 --> 00:10:20,510
He's giving her some
books from his library.
316
00:10:20,544 --> 00:10:22,147
This is crazy.
317
00:10:22,181 --> 00:10:24,518
This is the guy that
murdered her husband,
318
00:10:24,552 --> 00:10:26,154
and they're, like,
319
00:10:26,188 --> 00:10:28,259
have a book club?
320
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:29,460
What?
321
00:10:29,494 --> 00:10:31,297
In one of these bundles of books
322
00:10:31,331 --> 00:10:32,971
there's a notice from a man named
323
00:10:33,001 --> 00:10:34,069
James Murray.
324
00:10:34,103 --> 00:10:35,671
Hear ye, hear ye.
325
00:10:35,704 --> 00:10:39,489
All y'all bibliophiles
out there, listen up.
326
00:10:39,519 --> 00:10:43,739
I am writing the very first
Oxford English Dictionary.
327
00:10:43,769 --> 00:10:46,273
We're looking for volunteers
328
00:10:46,307 --> 00:10:48,690
to submit your words,
329
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,786
along with quotations
330
00:10:50,816 --> 00:10:52,819
from the English literature.
331
00:10:52,852 --> 00:10:55,323
W.C. Minor sees this notification,
332
00:10:55,358 --> 00:10:59,365
he's like, This is
what I was born to do!
333
00:10:59,398 --> 00:11:02,539
W.C. Minor writes in to
James Murray and says,
334
00:11:02,569 --> 00:11:05,108
Will you please see it in your heart
335
00:11:05,141 --> 00:11:07,849
to allow me to "contribut-ee"
336
00:11:07,879 --> 00:11:10,418
to your great Oxford English Dictionary?
337
00:11:10,451 --> 00:11:12,288
And they kinda look at this letter,
338
00:11:12,321 --> 00:11:14,691
and they're like, Yeah, dude.
339
00:11:14,725 --> 00:11:17,289
Of course. Here's the list of words.
340
00:11:17,319 --> 00:11:19,432
Bonnet. Boner.
341
00:11:19,466 --> 00:11:20,736
Bona fide.
342
00:11:20,769 --> 00:11:22,405
He takes this list of words
343
00:11:22,438 --> 00:11:24,275
and he's like, Okay.
344
00:11:24,310 --> 00:11:26,380
I'm like a search engine
345
00:11:26,413 --> 00:11:27,682
I'm gonna, like,
346
00:11:27,715 --> 00:11:29,685
spend the next year of my life
347
00:11:29,719 --> 00:11:32,123
going through hundreds
and hundreds of books,
348
00:11:32,157 --> 00:11:34,795
looking for uses of these words.
349
00:11:34,827 --> 00:11:36,264
The years go by.
350
00:11:36,297 --> 00:11:39,069
W.C. Minor is like, doing so much work,
351
00:11:39,101 --> 00:11:41,172
and getting so much joy out of it,
352
00:11:41,206 --> 00:11:43,009
It's giving him so much purpinizes...
353
00:11:43,043 --> 00:11:44,712
purpose in his life.
354
00:11:44,745 --> 00:11:47,350
So finally, after years
of correspondence,
355
00:11:47,384 --> 00:11:49,387
they finally meet face-to face.
356
00:11:49,421 --> 00:11:51,124
They sit down and they chat.
357
00:11:51,157 --> 00:11:54,028
And these guys completely hit it off.
358
00:11:54,062 --> 00:11:56,032
They share their love
for the rich complexity
359
00:11:56,066 --> 00:11:57,739
of the English language.
360
00:11:57,769 --> 00:11:59,873
They're like BFF overnight.
361
00:11:59,906 --> 00:12:04,050
And James Murray gave him
his six completed volumes
362
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:05,852
of the Oxford...
363
00:12:05,882 --> 00:12:07,058
(Laughs)
364
00:12:07,088 --> 00:12:09,337
English Dictionary,
365
00:12:09,367 --> 00:12:10,726
and said,
366
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:11,928
Thank you
367
00:12:11,962 --> 00:12:15,370
for your hard work and dedication.
368
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,305
You dedicated all... uh,
369
00:12:18,339 --> 00:12:20,009
so much of your life
370
00:12:20,043 --> 00:12:23,414
to the Oxford English Dictionary.
371
00:12:23,448 --> 00:12:26,353
And he's like,
372
00:12:26,387 --> 00:12:28,023
You're welcome.
373
00:12:28,057 --> 00:12:29,864
W.C. Minor contributed
374
00:12:29,894 --> 00:12:31,263
somewhere in the neighborhood
375
00:12:31,295 --> 00:12:33,699
of about 200,000 quotations
376
00:12:33,733 --> 00:12:38,007
for the Oxford English Dictionary.
377
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:39,877
The end.
378
00:12:39,911 --> 00:12:41,112
Let's cheers to him.
379
00:12:41,146 --> 00:12:42,748
W.C.!
380
00:12:44,252 --> 00:12:46,222
Stay tuned for more "Drunk History."
381
00:12:46,779 --> 00:12:47,779
Oh!
382
00:12:47,992 --> 00:12:50,162
(Drunken laughter)
383
00:12:50,197 --> 00:12:52,601
(Laughter)
384
00:12:53,234 --> 00:12:55,505
Here, can I tell you
something that's really...
385
00:12:55,539 --> 00:12:57,273
honest to god, you won't like this.
386
00:12:57,303 --> 00:12:58,076
So these...
387
00:12:58,111 --> 00:12:59,547
- Oh, God.
- Boots.
388
00:12:59,579 --> 00:13:01,215
Have been in my garage.
389
00:13:01,250 --> 00:13:03,554
The last time I went in my garage,
390
00:13:03,587 --> 00:13:05,023
do you know what I found?
391
00:13:05,057 --> 00:13:06,025
No.
392
00:13:06,058 --> 00:13:07,208
Black widows.
393
00:13:09,363 --> 00:13:10,331
Oh, fuck!
394
00:13:10,366 --> 00:13:12,102
(Laughs)
395
00:13:12,484 --> 00:13:14,539
I'm glad you find it funny
396
00:13:14,573 --> 00:13:16,910
that there could be a...
oh, what the [bleep] is that?
397
00:13:16,944 --> 00:13:18,145
There's something in that one.
398
00:13:18,179 --> 00:13:21,218
(Laughs)
399
00:13:22,453 --> 00:13:24,457
You have to be so careful!
400
00:13:24,491 --> 00:13:26,361
Yeah, I have to be careful.
401
00:13:26,394 --> 00:13:27,394
(Laughs)
402
00:13:31,264 --> 00:13:32,974
Let's do it, man.
403
00:13:33,006 --> 00:13:34,006
Hello.
404
00:13:35,562 --> 00:13:36,562
Hello.
405
00:13:37,146 --> 00:13:38,482
My name...
406
00:13:38,516 --> 00:13:41,188
(laughs) is Duncan Trussell.
407
00:13:42,208 --> 00:13:44,493
And today, we will talk
408
00:13:44,526 --> 00:13:48,066
about Jack Parsons.
409
00:13:48,101 --> 00:13:49,570
Uh, Jack Parsons
410
00:13:49,602 --> 00:13:51,238
was always interested in
411
00:13:51,271 --> 00:13:54,177
rockets and explosives.
412
00:13:54,211 --> 00:13:57,183
1937, Jack Parsons...
413
00:13:57,217 --> 00:13:58,752
(Sighs) Just say it.
414
00:13:58,785 --> 00:14:00,255
- I got it, I got it.
- Just repeat it.
415
00:14:00,288 --> 00:14:02,495
I [bleep] got it! Derek.
416
00:14:02,525 --> 00:14:05,365
In 1937, Jack Parsons,
417
00:14:05,397 --> 00:14:07,600
Ed Forman, and Frank Malina
418
00:14:07,635 --> 00:14:09,376
were doing rocket tests
419
00:14:09,406 --> 00:14:12,144
at Devil's Gate Dam.
420
00:14:12,176 --> 00:14:13,979
So, they ended up
421
00:14:14,013 --> 00:14:16,654
inventing something
called the JATO rocket,
422
00:14:16,684 --> 00:14:18,755
and sure enough, the
United States military
423
00:14:18,785 --> 00:14:19,890
caught wind of this
424
00:14:19,923 --> 00:14:21,393
and came to them,
425
00:14:21,426 --> 00:14:22,798
and the military was like,
426
00:14:22,828 --> 00:14:24,298
You guys seem to know what you're doing.
427
00:14:24,332 --> 00:14:26,102
Why don't we get together
428
00:14:26,135 --> 00:14:29,076
and work on better explosives
429
00:14:29,106 --> 00:14:31,802
than what you guys are
blowing up by the dam?
430
00:14:31,832 --> 00:14:34,150
Jack Parsons got a bunch of money.
431
00:14:34,182 --> 00:14:37,459
He buys a mansion in
the heart of Pasadena,
432
00:14:37,489 --> 00:14:39,158
and while this was happening,
433
00:14:39,191 --> 00:14:40,851
he came into contact
434
00:14:40,881 --> 00:14:44,032
with Aleister Crowley.
435
00:14:44,066 --> 00:14:46,938
He was considered one
of the great occultists
436
00:14:46,971 --> 00:14:50,510
of our age, who teaches Parsons
437
00:14:50,545 --> 00:14:53,049
about sex magic. Right.
438
00:14:53,083 --> 00:14:54,682
Like, this is... do you
know about sex magic?
439
00:14:54,712 --> 00:14:56,114
No, but yes, please.
440
00:14:56,144 --> 00:14:58,225
Okay. Let me tell you.
441
00:14:58,616 --> 00:15:01,264
Now, sex magic is like,
the idea is, like,
442
00:15:01,605 --> 00:15:06,273
cumming... orgasm... ejaculation.
443
00:15:06,669 --> 00:15:09,379
This is the essence
444
00:15:09,412 --> 00:15:11,984
of what makes life
happen on this planet.
445
00:15:12,017 --> 00:15:13,686
That moment of orgasm
446
00:15:13,719 --> 00:15:15,522
is so powerful,
447
00:15:15,556 --> 00:15:17,661
if you experience an orgasm
448
00:15:17,695 --> 00:15:20,400
while focusing your intention or will,
449
00:15:20,432 --> 00:15:22,068
you can make magic happen.
450
00:15:22,101 --> 00:15:23,303
You can make things happen.
451
00:15:23,338 --> 00:15:26,710
Let's summon spirits and hump.
452
00:15:27,011 --> 00:15:28,546
For a long time.
453
00:15:28,580 --> 00:15:31,686
And that's what was happening.
454
00:15:31,719 --> 00:15:33,690
He's doing these occult rituals
455
00:15:33,723 --> 00:15:37,094
and he is fucking all day long,
456
00:15:37,128 --> 00:15:39,667
cumming and cumming and cumming
457
00:15:39,700 --> 00:15:41,469
and casting spells,
458
00:15:41,503 --> 00:15:43,205
and in the end of the day,
459
00:15:43,239 --> 00:15:44,743
he's going to work,
460
00:15:44,776 --> 00:15:46,148
and he's like, Hey, man,
461
00:15:46,178 --> 00:15:49,183
you guys care if I do
a fucking magic spell
462
00:15:49,217 --> 00:15:51,120
before we launch this missile?
463
00:15:51,154 --> 00:15:52,890
They're like, all right,
464
00:15:52,924 --> 00:15:54,493
dude, I guess so.
465
00:15:54,526 --> 00:15:57,970
We're trying to fucking
make the planet better.
466
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,070
And he's intoning this thing
called the Hymn to Pan.
467
00:16:01,105 --> 00:16:03,409
Oh, I, Pan,
468
00:16:03,443 --> 00:16:05,547
I, Pan.
469
00:16:05,581 --> 00:16:07,918
So he is out of his gourd,
470
00:16:07,952 --> 00:16:09,354
but they're doing great,
471
00:16:09,386 --> 00:16:11,423
and his fucking friends are like,
472
00:16:11,457 --> 00:16:13,427
Let's start a company.
473
00:16:13,677 --> 00:16:16,066
We'll call it JPL:
474
00:16:16,098 --> 00:16:19,273
Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
475
00:16:19,303 --> 00:16:20,071
Oh, wow.
476
00:16:20,106 --> 00:16:21,308
One of the founders
477
00:16:21,342 --> 00:16:23,178
of, like, the...
478
00:16:23,212 --> 00:16:25,249
one of the corp... the companies
479
00:16:25,282 --> 00:16:28,921
that is responsible for
space exploration today.
480
00:16:28,954 --> 00:16:30,991
If you know what [bleep] Saturn
481
00:16:31,025 --> 00:16:32,328
looks like right now,
482
00:16:32,361 --> 00:16:33,930
the rings of Saturn,
483
00:16:33,963 --> 00:16:36,100
the Cassini fucking probe around it,
484
00:16:36,135 --> 00:16:37,404
the Mars rover,
485
00:16:37,437 --> 00:16:39,407
all of this has its roots
486
00:16:39,439 --> 00:16:42,011
in Jack Parsons
487
00:16:42,045 --> 00:16:44,984
in a mansion in fucking Pasadena,
488
00:16:45,018 --> 00:16:47,904
mumbling occult rituals
489
00:16:47,934 --> 00:16:50,327
while snorting blow
490
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,430
off of his friends' boobs.
491
00:16:52,463 --> 00:16:54,300
And... (Laughs)
492
00:16:54,333 --> 00:16:55,937
It's outstanding.
493
00:16:56,591 --> 00:16:58,307
So, and a fellow shows up
494
00:16:58,341 --> 00:17:00,794
by the name of
495
00:17:00,824 --> 00:17:04,385
L. Ron Hubbard.
496
00:17:04,419 --> 00:17:07,829
He's this sci-fi writer
with crazy stories,
497
00:17:07,859 --> 00:17:09,265
he's very charismatic,
498
00:17:09,295 --> 00:17:11,435
and Parsons is like, hey, man,
499
00:17:11,465 --> 00:17:13,168
you're awesome.
500
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,539
Do you have any interest
in having sex with my wife?
501
00:17:16,573 --> 00:17:18,311
And Hubbard is like,
502
00:17:18,343 --> 00:17:20,313
Yeah. L. Ron Hubbard
503
00:17:20,348 --> 00:17:25,991
just starts fucking Jack Parsons' wife.
504
00:17:26,024 --> 00:17:27,360
And Jack Parsons is like,
505
00:17:27,392 --> 00:17:29,429
I like you, you're my
friend, L. Ron Hubbard.
506
00:17:29,464 --> 00:17:31,467
Let's just have sex and do sex magic
507
00:17:31,501 --> 00:17:33,404
while I, like, blow up rockets!
508
00:17:33,437 --> 00:17:35,741
He's partying so fucking hard.
509
00:17:35,774 --> 00:17:39,046
But then the FBI visit Jack Parsons,
510
00:17:39,081 --> 00:17:41,118
and they're like, Hey, um...
511
00:17:41,150 --> 00:17:44,055
You have military-grade
weapons clearance.
512
00:17:44,090 --> 00:17:46,461
You're also into the occult.
513
00:17:46,494 --> 00:17:48,197
You're doing magic spells.
514
00:17:48,230 --> 00:17:50,133
You're going to Communist meetings,
515
00:17:50,167 --> 00:17:51,439
and we've heard that
you might want to, like,
516
00:17:51,469 --> 00:17:52,559
sell some of this information
517
00:17:52,589 --> 00:17:54,475
to the Israeli military.
518
00:17:54,509 --> 00:17:56,011
So, uh,
519
00:17:56,045 --> 00:17:58,015
we're going to take away
your military clearance,
520
00:17:58,049 --> 00:18:00,319
because you can't fucking do that.
521
00:18:00,681 --> 00:18:01,520
So,
522
00:18:01,553 --> 00:18:03,523
he lost his military clearance.
523
00:18:03,799 --> 00:18:05,427
He says to L. Ron Hubbard,
524
00:18:05,462 --> 00:18:06,530
What do we do, man?
525
00:18:06,562 --> 00:18:07,535
We're running out of money.
526
00:18:07,565 --> 00:18:08,760
I don't know what I'm going to do,
527
00:18:08,790 --> 00:18:09,792
and Hubbard is like,
528
00:18:09,822 --> 00:18:11,805
I think I know what you can do.
529
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,341
You... we will start a boat business,
530
00:18:14,371 --> 00:18:16,047
and you will give me
531
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,118
the last of your money,
532
00:18:18,151 --> 00:18:20,421
and I will go to Florida with your wife,
533
00:18:20,455 --> 00:18:21,958
and we will be fine.
534
00:18:21,992 --> 00:18:24,229
And Parsons is...
(laughs) is like, okay.
535
00:18:24,263 --> 00:18:26,099
Sure.
536
00:18:26,744 --> 00:18:29,237
I trust you, man.
537
00:18:29,272 --> 00:18:30,875
You're my best friend.
538
00:18:30,907 --> 00:18:33,599
Who couldn't trust someone like you,
539
00:18:33,629 --> 00:18:35,015
L. Ron Hubbard?
540
00:18:35,048 --> 00:18:37,318
(Laughs)
541
00:18:37,351 --> 00:18:40,492
And he gives him $20,000!
542
00:18:43,433 --> 00:18:44,585
I love you so much
543
00:18:44,615 --> 00:18:46,333
I love you too, Derek.
544
00:18:46,615 --> 00:18:48,977
Hubbard goes to Florida
with Jack Parsons' wife.
545
00:18:49,007 --> 00:18:50,508
And Parsons is like,
546
00:18:50,542 --> 00:18:52,899
Wait, I haven't heard from
L. Ron Hubbard in a few days.
547
00:18:52,929 --> 00:18:55,551
So, he calls L. Ron Hubbard,
548
00:18:55,584 --> 00:18:56,953
What's going on?
549
00:18:56,986 --> 00:18:58,522
Like, what's going on?
550
00:18:58,557 --> 00:19:01,429
Sorry. You fucked up,
551
00:19:01,462 --> 00:19:03,001
and I'm with your wife,
552
00:19:03,031 --> 00:19:04,701
on a boat, going to F...
553
00:19:04,734 --> 00:19:06,705
out of Florida's... wherever Florida is.
554
00:19:06,737 --> 00:19:09,342
And Jack Parsons is like, No.
555
00:19:09,376 --> 00:19:10,444
Fuck that.
556
00:19:10,477 --> 00:19:11,813
I'm a wizard.
557
00:19:11,847 --> 00:19:13,620
I'm a fucking wizard.
558
00:19:14,136 --> 00:19:17,757
And Jack Parsons cast a spell.
559
00:19:17,791 --> 00:19:21,965
Om...
560
00:19:21,999 --> 00:19:26,440
(Mumbles incantation)
561
00:19:26,474 --> 00:19:30,514
(Continues mumbling incantation)
562
00:19:32,925 --> 00:19:34,988
But that's just your interpretation.
563
00:19:35,022 --> 00:19:36,591
Yeah. That's probably the spell
564
00:19:36,625 --> 00:19:38,027
- I would imagine he did.
- Yeah. Who knows?
565
00:19:38,057 --> 00:19:39,914
And then it starts...
566
00:19:39,946 --> 00:19:40,946
(Laughter)
567
00:19:46,827 --> 00:19:48,730
Something in that vein.
568
00:19:49,434 --> 00:19:51,667
Oh, check, please.
569
00:19:51,702 --> 00:19:53,142
He called up a storm,
570
00:19:53,172 --> 00:19:56,110
and Hubbard and Betty had to turn around
571
00:19:56,142 --> 00:19:57,377
'cause the storm was too powerful
572
00:19:57,411 --> 00:19:59,248
to proceed.
573
00:19:59,282 --> 00:20:01,797
And L. Ron Hubbard gave
him his money back,
574
00:20:01,827 --> 00:20:03,223
but took his wife,
575
00:20:03,255 --> 00:20:06,227
and started a religion
called Scientology.
576
00:20:06,613 --> 00:20:08,264
Um...
577
00:20:08,299 --> 00:20:10,135
And then, in a garage,
578
00:20:10,168 --> 00:20:13,441
while experimenting with
some explosive chemicals,
579
00:20:13,474 --> 00:20:16,714
he exploded himself in Pasadena,
580
00:20:16,747 --> 00:20:19,418
killing himself.
581
00:20:19,876 --> 00:20:21,326
Is this proof of...
582
00:20:22,857 --> 00:20:25,730
what we love kills us?
583
00:20:26,095 --> 00:20:29,503
No. It's proof that if
you're fucking around with
584
00:20:29,536 --> 00:20:31,773
fulminate of mercury, don't drop it.
585
00:20:31,808 --> 00:20:33,644
There's no magical thing here.
586
00:20:33,676 --> 00:20:35,446
Don't do speed and fuck with explosives.
587
00:20:35,481 --> 00:20:37,885
(Laughter)
588
00:20:38,317 --> 00:20:40,889

589
