It's etiquette.
Etiquette.
So just so our listeners know, this podcast is out.
It is out.
And you can get into it right now.
All right.
Are you ready to snafu?
Let's do it.
We're going to jump into this.
We're going to venture all the way back to 1791.
It was a tough year to be a French guy named Louis, especially—
if you were Louis XVI, the French king.
So today's topic is the French Revolution.
Now, I'd love to cover the whole thing, but that would take at least 10 podcasts and like a gallon of espresso and a PhD in guillotine technology.
So instead, we're going to just zoom in on this one really tiny but absolutely bonkers episode within the French Revolution, the Royal Escape Attempt
that went spectacularly wrong.
It's sneaky, it is suspenseful, and it turned out to be a massive turning point in the entire revolution.
This is the flight to Varennes.
Are you ready?
What is it you like about French stuff?
