What is the main topic of this episode?
Hello and welcome to History for Weirdos.
We're your hosts, Andrew and Stephanie. And we're going to take you on a journey into the strange, obscure, and relentlessly entertaining corners of human history.
Now listen up, friends, because it's about to get weird. Welcome back, weirdos.
Welcome back, weirdos.
We are here with another episode of History for Weirdos. We are coming to you from the very sophisticated and refined studios of our living room.
Exactly. Studio Shangri-La, our living room.
Shangri-La, our living room. Yeah. So we cannot guarantee that you will not hear Pericles puppy sounds in the background.
In fact, just to set your expectations, you probably should hear... Pericles puppy sounds and sometimes bird sounds. Yeah.
Even though the bird is at the literal opposite end of the apartment, folks have been funny in messages before. Like, I can hear her go like... Just faintly. In the background. Yeah. Well, I'm really excited to hear the tale that you're going to tell this week. I know a little bit of insight into it because I participated in some of the research. But before we jump in, we want to remind you all that since we've been back from our hiatus, we also have merch.
We have merch, baby. Look at this.
Andrew is rocking the Kuriyun Wrestling Club merch.
I mean, this is probably like one of my favorite pieces of merch.
I love that one. Yes. We have various designs.
Yeah. I mean, you. Oh, yes.
That's the Phineas Gage sticker on my water. So we have various designs inspired by podcast episodes and our logo, of course, and pretty much like every design you could get on anything imaginable.
Yeah.
If you want it on a sweatshirt, on a mug, on a tote bag, on a notebook, on a sticker, you can get it.
I know. And you know what? Also, this is going to be our second episode with full video.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah. That's something also I wanted to point out is that we have video now for every episode and you can watch it on Spotify and or YouTube. Yes. And but if you just want to listen to us to not see our beautiful faces or your beautiful face and my not so beautiful face, then I think you can just listen to wherever you're listening on it.
I think your face is beautiful.
Thank you.
I married you.
That's true.
So I'm biased, but I think your face is beautiful too.
Tears.
Okay, enough sappy stuff, babe.
Yeah, we're doing real stuff. We're doing history. Yeah. More sap.
What are you regaling the weirdos and myself with today?
So this week, we're going to be covering the gunfight of the OK Corral.
Wow.
Yes, which is, as I'm sure you're all aware, one of the most iconic moments in Western American history.
There's a very iconic name associated with this fight.
Yes.
Which is?
Which is the shootout at the OK Corral.
No, the name of a person.
Oh, I was like, yeah, it's just a shootout. Okay. Yeah. So there's a few people. There's Wyatt Earp.
Wyatt Earp is the one.
And Doc Holliday.
Yeah.
Those are probably the two most famous names that come out of this.
When I had heard about this before, it had always been associated with Wyatt Earp.
Wyatt Earp. Yeah. And that's how you say his name. Yeah. In fact, there's more than just one Earp. and more than just one erp yes fun fact white erp died about 15 minutes away from where we live oh wow where we're recording right here it's like 15 minutes like east that's where he died kind of weird spoiler much spoiler yeah so i mean this did take place in the 19th century so yeah spoiler is that he is he's now deceased he would be like well over 100 years old
But I, you know, I wasn't ready to hear that yet.
Well, I'm sorry, guys.
Well, tell us about Wyatt Earp and the OK Corral.
OK, so the shootout occurred in Tombstone, Arizona, which I think is just a fantastic name for a town.
Why is it called Tombstone?
There's a lot of tombstones.
Yeah, that's a bummer.
It's kind of a bummer. So and it's funny because the gunfight itself only lasted 30 seconds.
That makes sense.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Only 30 seconds long. It was not a long fight, but the reverberations, reverberations.
