SNAFU with Ed Helms
S4E23: Chelsea Handler and The Hindenburg

So we're going to go back to the 1930s, which was the golden age of Zeppelins.

Now, a Zeppelin is a large, rigid airship.

SNAFU with Ed Helms
S4E23: Chelsea Handler and The Hindenburg

It is not to be confused with a blimp, which is basically just like a big balloon.

SNAFU with Ed Helms
S4E23: Chelsea Handler and The Hindenburg

Think of it as like a blimp is soft and a Zeppelin has structure.

SNAFU with Ed Helms
S4E23: Chelsea Handler and The Hindenburg

So in aviation terms, a Zeppelin is like an erect structure.

SNAFU with Ed Helms
S4E23: Chelsea Handler and The Hindenburg

Blimp, if you erect blimp.

SNAFU with Ed Helms
S4E23: Chelsea Handler and The Hindenburg

Yes.

SNAFU with Ed Helms
S4E23: Chelsea Handler and The Hindenburg

Well, they're used for all kinds of things that they can like.

SNAFU with Ed Helms
S4E23: Chelsea Handler and The Hindenburg

They started out in World War One.

SNAFU with Ed Helms
S4E23: Chelsea Handler and The Hindenburg

They were actually used for bombing missions and reconnaissance.

SNAFU with Ed Helms
S4E23: Chelsea Handler and The Hindenburg

But it was all it all originated in Germany by a German inventor, Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin in the late 1800s.

SNAFU with Ed Helms
S4E23: Chelsea Handler and The Hindenburg

I love this.

SNAFU with Ed Helms
S4E23: Chelsea Handler and The Hindenburg

You just brought up such a cool little nugget of music history, which is that I believe it was Keith Moon from The Who who was making fun of Jimmy Page.

SNAFU with Ed Helms
S4E23: Chelsea Handler and The Hindenburg

Because Jimmy Page put this band together and they were originally called the New Yardbirds, I think.

SNAFU with Ed Helms
S4E23: Chelsea Handler and The Hindenburg

It's a terrible name.

SNAFU with Ed Helms
S4E23: Chelsea Handler and The Hindenburg

And then Keith Moon on The Who was like, yeah, you guys will go down like a lead balloon.

SNAFU with Ed Helms
S4E23: Chelsea Handler and The Hindenburg

And so Jimmy Page just thought that was hilarious and decided to call the band Led Zeppelin.

SNAFU with Ed Helms
S4E23: Chelsea Handler and The Hindenburg

Roger Daltrey, yeah.

SNAFU with Ed Helms
S4E23: Chelsea Handler and The Hindenburg

Hocus.

SNAFU with Ed Helms
S4E23: Chelsea Handler and The Hindenburg

He's probably wearing Hocus.
