  • - I need a little bit more meaty (bleep).

  • Can I say that?

  • I can swear, right? - Mm-hm.

  • (upbeat music)

  • - Hello, I'm Hillary Anne Matthews.

  • And today we're going to talk

  • about Sadie Farrell, AKA Sadie the Goat.

  • So the year is 1860-ish.

  • We're in Manhattan, in the Lower East Side,

  • which is a grizzly locale.

  • So Sadie pitched a male accomplice, and she was like,

  • hey dude, what if a guy comes out of a bar,

  • and I will run up to him,

  • and just headbutt him in the stomach and disorient him?

  • And he was like, cool, I will take a slingshot,

  • and from a distance, knock him out.

  • And that's how she earned the nickname Sadie the Goat.

  • Because newsflash, goats headbutt things.

  • And Sadie is just running at them

  • and headbutting them in the stomach

  • Sling shot!

  • And they made a lot of money, like a decent living.

  • Like it was like an honorable living.

  • You know, it wasn't

  • like a super fancy, really intense-

  • - Wait, it wasn't fancy- - It wasn't fancy.

  • - The way they were living, of headbutting people?

  • - So additionally, simultaneously there was a bar

  • called the Hole in the Wall,

  • and there was a bouncer, her name was Gallus Mag.

  • And Gallus Mag was six feet tall.

  • And additionally, she was a badass bitch

  • for real, and for truly.

  • One day, our girl Sadie the Goat

  • comes into the Hole in the Wall bar.

  • And she like encounters Gallus Mag.

  • And here's the thing about Gallus Mag, she was British.

  • Here's the thing about Sadie the Goat, she was Irish.

  • Here's the thing about that time period,

  • white on white racism.

  • So Sadie the Goat, who was like a very mouthy individual,

  • was like, the thing about British people,

  • they are like always like, oh, Big Ben,

  • it's like a big clock.

  • And Gallus Mag was like,

  • please dial back what you're saying.

  • And Sadie the Goat was just like,

  • well additionally, beans on toast.

  • Gallus mag was like, you're being too crazy.

  • So she took Sadie the Goat

  • by the ear and she dragged her to the door.

  • Sadie the Goat was like (screams).

  • (laughs)

  • So Gallus Mag chomps off her Mo effing ear.

  • And she puts it into a jar of alcohol.

  • And it was like such a great trophy that she labels it.

  • Sadie the ears, nope, Sadie the Goat's ear.

  • And she put it on her trophy case.

  • At this point, Sadie the Goat is very embarrassed.

  • And she then witnesses this gang

  • called the Charlton street gang.

  • And they're trying to commandeer a small ship,

  • but they're doing a very, very bad job.

  • So she's like, you guys, you're doing not a good job.

  • And because of me, I can make you do a very good job.

  • And if you wanna work together,

  • we can be more successful.

  • And they're like, okay, listen,

  • Sadie the Goat, if that is your real name, we're onboard.

  • So they start cruising up and down the Hudson.

  • And they are just like stealing things

  • and pillaging small towns.

  • And she was like, (laughs)

  • obviously we need to start kidnapping people hardcore.

  • So she's kidnapping people.

  • And she's like, I don't care if your loved ones

  • love you enough to pay your ransom.

  • Like, I'm gonna make you walk the plank right now.

  • And he is like, no, I'm so sorry I back-talked you.

  • And she was like, I am Sadie the Goat!

  • And then she like trots him off the plank,

  • and he splashes into river, like (imitates splashing).

  • (Derek laughs)

  • So they get the police involved.

  • And they lie and wait, and they're like,

  • okay, we're gonna get Sadie the Goat.

  • And when Sadie and the gang members disembarked,

  • they ambushed them.

  • And they really did some damage,

  • 'cause they were shooting a lot of guns.

  • And so Sadie and her gentlemen suffered

  • enough casualties that at the end of it,

  • Sadie was like, yo we gotta pack it in.

  • So Sadie the Goat returned to the fourth ward.

  • and she went to go visit Gallus Mag.

  • And she was like, hi, listen.

  • I know I was like super crazy.

  • And like, I'm so sorry for that, it was my bad.

  • And Gallus Mag is like, I have something for you.

  • And Sadie's like, what could it be?

  • And Gallus Mag presents her with Sadie's ear.

  • And she was like, regardless of whatever

  • is between our legs, we are really down to clown.

  • And like we are like really down

  • to like really tear shit up.

  • And like I will headbutt you in the stomach.

  • And I will chomp your ear off,

  • and like thank you for being a friend.

  • That's how we got the "Golden Girls"

  • soundtrack song, Derek Waters.

  • Thank you for being a friend

  • If you threw a party

  • - Keep going. - I don't know.

  • - [Hillary] Yeah, neither do me.

  • - Hello, today we're gonna talk about

  • Kentucky Daisy and the great Oklahoma land runs. (laughs)

  • Oh no, I can't.

  • So late 1870s, Kentucky Daisy is a journalist

  • writing all just the fluff, garbage, women pieces.

  • They're like, here's an assignment.

  • Why don't you go write about making corn pie

  • or a pudding article or whatever, okay?

  • She's like, I need a little bit more meaty (bleep).

  • Can I say that?

  • I can swear, right? - Mm-hmm.

  • - So the government has this land,

  • it's like two million acres,

  • I mean, taken from the poor Native Americans.

  • And they're like, what if we give it to some crazy pioneers,

  • let them kind of cultivate it for us,

  • make some cities it's cetera?

  • Let's give the white people a chance.

  • So awful, we took two million acres.

  • - Wow.

  • - It's very sad.

  • But anyways, God bless America. (laughs)

  • So she hears about this huge land run.

  • April 22nd, noon, land run,

  • 160 acres for free to white people.

  • So she is like, hey journalist boss,

  • what if I went to this land run

  • and I talked about what girls

  • are wearing, in terms of petticoats?

  • But in her head she's like,

  • I'm gonna get a piece of this land for me.

  • So she gets there,

  • there are 50,000 people lining the border.

  • Cannon goes off at noon, boom.

  • Everybody's acting buck wild.

  • Everybody's buck.

  • They'll trample other people,

  • take kids down, they don't care.

  • So there's also a train that goes into the lands as well.

  • And it's filled with journalists.

  • Kentucky Daisy's on the train.

  • She's trying to keep it cool.

  • But then it goes up this incline so it slows down.

  • Kentucky Daisy's like (bleep) this (bleep).

  • She jumps off of a moving train,

  • over a ditch, gets to the plot of land that she wants

  • pulls a stake out, pop, claims the land shoots a gun off,

  • because whatever, that's who she is.

  • Thus I salute the, what?

  • - What?

  • - Kentucky Daisy Claim,

  • thus I salute the Kentucky Daisy Claim.

  • She gets the land, and so on her little piece of property

  • she builds a house and whatever.

  • But she starts to kinda get that hunger again.

  • She's like, I'm gonna go to this next land run.

  • I'm gonna ride a horse in, like a badass bitch.

  • Boom, cannon goes off, and she does,

  • she rides a horse in, she's super cool.

  • Then the horse acts like a (bleep) asshole,

  • throws her, tromps her face with its little horse hooves.

  • - [Derek] She what?

  • - Tromped her face.

  • What do they do, trample?

  • Tramp, the horse tramped her face, right?

  • - Yeah.

  • - Who cares?

  • She lost it.

  • So she's out, she's unconscious.

  • She wakes up, she's like, where am I?

  • Who cares where I am?

  • It's land, I'm gonna claim it.

  • I don't give a (bleep) shadoink, this is my land.

  • People next door are like,

  • you just got hit in the (bleep) face, you're cray.

  • Now she's got two plots of land.

  • That's it, that's it, that's the cap.

  • So Kentucky Daisy brought 11 women.

  • She's like girls, we're gonna go into these new lands.

  • We're gonna give you some property for yourselves.

  • Like have at it, this is for us, this is lady land.

  • Let's put up some houses,

  • establish some lady property,

  • put a hot tub up, do whatever you want.

  • These bitches are (bleep) rifled up.

  • They're called Daisy's Amazons by the New York Times.

  • So they go in there.

  • Here's the crazy part, you're supposed to go in at noon.

  • That's the time.

  • But they go in days early, which is illegal.

  • That's like a thing.

  • Those people were called Sooners.

  • And they hide in a ditch.

  • So their whole thing is like, hey, by the way,

  • if like a (bleep) dude runs up on you tonight,

  • shoot him in the throat.

  • Sounds like a blast, but okay.

  • Kentucky Daisy gets it in her head

  • that she's like, you know what I need?

  • Snacks, supplies, food, whatever it was.

  • I'll volunteer to get the Fritos.

  • They're like cool, she goes out.

  • And the guys in charge of land run are like,

  • no, not cool, we're gonna capture you.

  • You can't get the land.

  • Sorry, you can't go get your Fritos.

  • She diverted the attention that might've been

  • on these 11 ladies that were hiding in the ditch,

  • and they ended up being landowners.

  • Gonna throw up.

  • I'm not.

  • People underestimate the power of wine.

  • Wine has a very high (bleep) up quotient.

  • - I agree.

  • - This is two bottles. (laughs)

  • So anyways, in 1893, it's the biggest land run ever.

  • She gets 36 single broads.

  • She's like, (bleep) those stereotypes.

  • These are my hoes.

  • This is the best, and that's what she said.

  • She's like, (bleep) blow into these territories,

  • and make a bunch of women in charge of these lands.

  • That's everybody's nightmare, (bleep) yes.

  • 36 single women claim the land,

  • set up houses and schools, and they built it themselves.

  • How dare they?

  • And that land became Oklahoma, like the Sooner State.

  • She's kind of the mother of Oklahoma.

  • You know, it's not all about pioneers,

  • not all about families.

  • You can be a (bleep) single lady,

  • making it on your own, you know?

  • Bitches be doing it for themselves.

  • Take it easy.

  • - We love you.

  • - We love you.

  • - Hello, I'm Kirby Howell-Baptiste,

  • and today we'll be discussing Suffrajitsu.

  • - Cheers.

  • - Cheers, this is gonna be some good shit.

  • Buckle up baby.

  • So our story starts in England.

  • There is a suffragette protest led by Emmeline Pankhurst.

  • And she's like, oye, listen women,

  • we need the right to vote.

  • So if these (bleep) men aren't gonna

  • give us the right to vote,

  • then we're just gonna have to take it, right?

  • And they're rowdy as (bleep), obviously,

  • because they're like ready for this.

  • So the metropolitan police are like, listen,

  • all these women wanna step out of line,

  • but we're gonna show them who's boss.

  • They start grabbing women, twisting their arms,

  • pulling on their breasts, can you imagine?

  • - [Derek] Pudding on their breasts?

  • - Pulling, not pudding.

  • - Oh, okay, pudding on their breasts, I didn't know.

  • - So the fight turns completely nasty.

  • Two women got killed.

  • One was Emmeline Pankhurst's sister.

  • So she's like, oh no,

  • like you killed my sister, I'm (bleep) coming for you.

  • This event was known as Black Friday.

  • So this was like in history, a big, big day.

  • - It's still a big day.

  • - Yeah, for sales.

  • - [Derek] Great deals.

  • - Great deals.

  • Anyways, so Emmeline Pankhurst goes to Edith Garrud,

  • this 4''11 woman who runs a jujitsu school.

  • And Emmeline is like, Edith, I need your help.

  • These police are acting wild.

  • We need to like train these suffragettes

  • so they can defend themselves against the police.

  • So Edith put together 30 suffragettes.

  • And she's like, we are gonna call you the bodyguard.

  • So Edith Garrud was teach...

  • So Edith Garrud taught...

  • (Derek laughs)

  • Edith Garrud starts training these girls.

  • And she's like, hiya, block the titties.

  • And they're all going, hiya, block the titties.

  • We want the vote!

  • So the cream rises to the top.

  • And one of the people who are just the cream of the crop

  • was Gertrude Harding, ultimate bad bitch.

  • - Any relation to Tanya?

  • (laughs)

  • Can you narrate ever story?

  • No one reacts to my jokes like that.

  • - (laughing) So in February, 1914,

  • Emmeline delivered a speech in Camden Square.

  • And at the end she goes, okay,

  • I'm coming down now, and police,

  • you can try and grab these titties, whatever.

  • She comes downstairs.

  • And then the commissioner goes,

  • grab her by the titties, I say.

  • I say, grab her by the titties.

  • And the other guy goes, whoa, this is my first day.

  • I didn't know we were gonna

  • be grabbing people by the titties.

  • And he goes, welcome to the metropolitan police.

  • Oh my God.

  • So there's a big tussle.

  • The police grab her, they pull off her bonnet,

  • and they're like, you're not Emmeline Pankhurst.

  • And she goes, no shit, idiot.

  • I'm her body double.

  • Emmeline goes downstairs with the rest of the body guard.

  • They get her out perfectly safe.

  • The police are mad as hell.

  • But the whole of England knows about Emmeline now.

  • So she's going out to Glasgow

  • for this huge talk at St. Andrew's hall.

  • And the bodyguard are standing by the stage,

  • and there's like beautiful bouquets behind them.

  • And Emmeline strides over to the stage.

  • And she's like, we need to fight

  • and we need to do all this stuff.

  • And then the Scottish police, they're like,

  • let's play that bitches tits like a bagpipe.

  • And the bodyguard are like,

  • oh, hold on a minute, you're not

  • playing anyone's titties like a bagpipe, not today.

  • And they're flipping them onto the bouquets of flowers.

  • And obviously, you might think,

  • oh well what's that gonna do?

  • That's gonna make them smell nice

  • and maybe get a tiny bit wet,

  • 'cause of the flowers.

  • And no, there's barbed wire concealed in all the flowers.

  • She's like, oh, you like titties?

  • You know what is also a titty?

  • barbed wire.

  • And he goes, I don't get it.

  • And she goes, it doesn't make any (bleep) sense.

  • You just got barb wired. (laughs)

  • (upbeat music)

  • They go buck wild.

  • They start grabbing police officers,

  • just flipping them over,

  • doing all their (bleep) jujitsu moves,

  • all the grappling and flipping and all this stuff.

  • And that's the great thing about jujitsu,

  • is that it's not about your size.

  • But there's a lot more police than there are the bodyguard.

  • And they arrest all the women.

  • But Emmeline knew she was gonna be arrested.

  • She even said, if I'm not arrested,

  • if I continue to evade the police officers,

  • I make them look like a (bleep) joke, right?

  • However, if I am arrested, I will turn sympathy

  • towards the suffragette movement.

  • 'Cause I'm a martyr at that point,

  • like I'm (bleep) Joan of Arc in this bitch.

  • And that's exactly what happened.

  • There was like rally and support

  • for the suffragette movement.

  • All of a sudden, all these men were like, oh yeah, why not?

  • Let's give you the right to vote.

  • It's really the least we can do anyway.

  • And in 1918, the bills passed.

  • - The bill's passed! - The bill's, passed!

  • - Cheers! - Cheers!

  • Everyone is happy, woo!

  • The bill's passed, women in England

  • and Ireland now have the right to vote.

  • Emmeline's like, oh, these titties?

  • These titties get to vote now.

  • - Hell yeah. - Hell yeah.

  • - There's two votes.

  • - That's two votes, voter fraud. (laughs)

  • (upbeat music)

- I need a little bit more meaty (bleep).
