I’m excited!

Is there any chance the closed captions could be added to the videos? As a deaf person, I love watching Unsolved and will definitely watch this, but closed captions make it so much easier. The default ones are rubbish.

Thank you!

I feel personally attacked by the fact that no one has said β€œALL HAIL THE WATCHER!” In either video. Can someone please remedy this, ASAP. This is of critical importance.

Congratulations on the launch!

Loved Puppet History and can’t wait to see the rest of the shows.

If anyone here (like me) is looking for the dedicated sub it should be r/watcherentertainment

Just finished watching puppet history and it is fantastic! I learned some things I didn't know about the plague and laughed, a lot. That song with death was hilarious.

Can't wait to watch the rest of your new shows!

(bright music) - Welcome one and all to "Puppet History". Today we'll be taking an ever-widening look at yet another chapter in the heavy, heavy book we call history, while our guests ruthlessly compete for the coveted title of history master. I am obviously your beloved host, The Professor. - I can't believe I'm normalized already to talking to this blue creature. - Thank you. (laughing) - Ryan Bergara, are you ready? Answer me. - Yeah, I'm ready, sorry. - Special guest Steven Lim, are you ready? - (sighs) I have never been ready for this. - Okay, then let's crack in! - [Steven] Let's do it. (triumphant music) - Distracted by his tiny little satchel. - Look at that bow-tie! - Huh, thank you. - The satchel's killing it. - How long did it take you to build your outfit this morning? - I wear this every day. This is my look. - Okay. - Today we're talking about unimaginable catastrophe of devastation so swift and sweeping that it could easily be mistaken as nothing short of the apocalypse. To set the mood, a reading from "The Signs of Death", "When the head trembles, "and the lips grow black, "the nose sharpens, "and the sinews stiffen "the soul has left "and the body holds nothing but a clout "then will the body be thrown in a hole "and no one will remember your soul." - Hey, chief, your glasses. Your glasses fell off, man. - I was just gettin' really into it. - Yeah, but they're on your mouth. It's distracting. - Hang on. We're talking about the malady of many names, the big sick, the great mortality, the bubonic plague. A terrifying, rapidly traveling biological nightmare that brought 14th century mankind to its knees. What do you guys know about this thing? - I know very little. I just know it was devastating. - The idea of using great as the adjective has always been kind of curious to me. - Like World War One, the great war? - The great plague made people cough up blood, and then they had to bury them in pits and then set the pits on fire. - Yeah, it was no good. - So that they wouldn't contaminate others. But great plague, though! Good one, really good. (Steven laughs) - A good question to kick things off is probably Where'd this thing come from? And how'd it turn into such a go-getter? Well, nobody's certain, but most put the plague's origin somewhere in the remote regions of Mongolia. Based on contemporary reports of mysterious maladies, it may have spent some time bouncing around smaller populations in Northern China in the 1330s, but would really explode in 1347. And as for its biological tenacity, before we understand anything about the plague, we must first understand three key organisms in this global dance of death. The bacteria, the flea, and the rat. You guys get rats in LA? - I was once in my classroom, actually, in high school and a rat fell from the ceiling and hit a girl's desk, and my teacher pushed a child out of the way and said, "every man for himself." - That's pretty funny. - He ain't no Professor, I'll tell you that. - The plague as we know it is caused by a little bacteria called yersinia pestis, a very tough little guy. Not only can it be spread by fleas, it can be spread by 21 different species of fleas. According to author John Kelly, it can affect rats, squirrels, gerbils, prairie dogs, and roughly two hundred other rodent species. - [Steven] Oh wow. - So this pesky bacteria was actually called pest? - Pestis! Yeah. - Is that actually where pest derives from? - Maybe? - Your glasses fell again. - Oh, no, your glasses! - Shit! That happens when I get really excited. - I think you need to get fitted for your nose a little bit better. - So, most of those, hey, who cares? I mean the world wasn't overrun with prairie dogs in the 1300s. Would've been pretty cool, though. Right? - Sure, yeah. - I'd love it. Rats, though! Rats! Rats are the big problem here. Specifically, Rattus rattus, the black rat. Nearly invincible rodent that can sire millions of offspring and chew through, among other things, lead pipes. And when you put three of those things together, there's a nasty little biological menage a trois that goes down. Ah, oh! - [Ryan] Oh, no! - The red light can only mean we've arrived at our first question. What do you think happens when an infected flea crosses paths with a rat? A, the infected flea burrows into the rat and dies there. B, the infected flea vomits into the rat. Or C, the infected flea sits in the rats brain and controls it like that little guy in "Men in Black". - I like this quill. - I love it. - While you fill out your answers, I'll show you what you're playing for here. - That's what I wanna know. - Behold, the coveted cup of the history master! (chimes tinkling) - Is that a hand I see? - No! - [Steven] Whose watch is that? - Huh? (scoffs) (laughing) Bet you guys wanna win that, huh? - Yeah, sure man. Does it come with the hand? - Ryan, what did you put? - I put A, but I would very much like it to be C because that's more novel to me. - Very good, Steven? - I put A as well because I cannot imagine a flea vomiting after a night at the club. - (chuckles) A little puke puddle. - A night at the club, I like that. (chuckles) Well, let's find out. (cymbals crash) - Jesus! Someone just shot the professor. I think I got hit by a sniper. (dishes clattering) - What do you think of that trophy that we're winning? - I forgot already. - Oh, heh heh. - Oh, well! - Whoa! - Well, gosh, what a lovely night! I don't know how a rat like me got so lucky livin' in a time like this, when the streets are absolutely caked with scum. - That's a rat? - That is a-- - Yeah, I'm a rat! - An attempt a Brooklyn accent? (rat laughs) - Kinda look like a kangaroo. - Like a kangaroo, didn't know ever - Your voice changed drastically! - No! - You went from Brooklyn accent to timid mouse in a house. - I think this rat's work-shopping accents on the fly. - Hey, boy with the strawberry hair, what's your name? - Oh, I'm big apple Steve. - Oh, big apple, where they got the Broadway! - Yeah, that's right. - Hey, when you go to Broadway, do you yell at the people on stage? - Ah, no. - I'm in the middle of a scene! - Sorry. - Thank you. - Apologies to the mouse. - Where was I? Gosh, what a lovely night! - Oh, hey. - Oh, well if it ain't my old pal, Mister Flea. Here to deliver one of his classic bites, no doubt. Well have at it, you pesky devil. (flea clears throat) Hey, uh, Mister Flea, you know, you don't look so good. You eat some bad sushi or something? (flea retches) - [Steven] No way! (gurgling) He vomits? - Oh my god. - Did you just bite me, and then also vomit onto me? (flea retches) This is not what friends do! - Remember how I said I can't picture a flea vomiting? Yeah. - He did a good job of making you picture it. - Yeah, actually, I get it now, yeah. - Oh, jesus christ. - Well, it turns out it vomits into that old funny rat, so I guess neither of you get points. - Aw, man. - Oh, wow. So it bites the rat, and then vomits into the wound? - Yes, yes what you witnessed there. What happens is, the plague bacteria infects the flea, causes a buildup to form in the flea's gut, which causes two bad things. One, the flea never actually ingests anything, and therefore desperately continues to bite whatever it can. And two, without any gut to go to, the blood, now infected, is then vomited back into the bite, almost assuring the spread of all yersinia pestis. - Good old fashioned double tap. - Yeah, so you take that lethal cocktail, add in a few environmental factors. Some historians point to that region experiencing earthquakes, floods, and famines in the 1330s and 1340s. Events very likely to drive rats out of their natural habitat in search of food. On top of that, you suddenly have trade routes spanning the continent. So now, any rats stowed away in a loose sack of grain might end up halfway across the hemisphere in a matter of weeks. (exciting music) Question! What other horrific factor contributed to the plague? A, the popularity of a dish called rat pie, B, the streets being caked in piles of innards, or C, the rising belief that flea bites were gifts from god. - [Steven] Oh, this one's easy. - Ryan? - I'm gonna go with B. Most of those European streets back in the day were caked with poop. - Steven? - That's how actually a lot of artifacts got preserved. - I'm going with B as in Bergara as well. - A couple of B boys! - Double Bs. - Well, other John Kelly paints a lovely picture. Quote, "In most cities the butchers' district "was a Goya-esque horror of animal remains. "Rivers of blood seeped into nearby gardens and parks, "and piles of hearts, livers, and intestines "accumulated under the butchers' bloody boots, "attracting swarms of rats." - Wait, hold up, hold up, hold up. This seems a little lazy. - Huh? - We're not gonna get a little skit here, or anything? - We got more skits coming. - I feel like I need a skit right now. - That's a lot of, ah, ah, okay, hang on. (cymbals crash) - Man, did I really just cause him to skit this? - I think he's improvising. - Wow, what a lovely day. (blows raspberry) Oops, I stepped in some poop. (somber music) (laughs) - Was is worth it? - No! - Did you feel like you were transported to another time? - Do you have any idea who you're talking to? Not me, but that's big apple Steve right there. He hails from Broadway. He's a high theater critic. - That's, yeah well. - It's true, I've seen "Wicked" before. - Well, as stated, there was also the issue of torrential downpour of human feces, as it was customary for residents to empty chamber pots out of the window. - Gross. - There was one generally accepted rule of thumb when tossing those turds. (exciting music) - Oh! - Question time! - Can you guess the socially expected courtesy when tossing your turds? Write your answers. - [Steven] Oh! - [The Professor] I will not give you multiple choice this time. - How do you toss turds? - You throw 'em out your window. - Sketch that for me? Actually, don't do that, please. - Uh, Ryan, what'd you put? - I would say you would need to say a phrase or something to alert said pedestrian that a turd's about to hit them in the head. - Sort of like a fore? - Yeah, so I went with tally-ho, or I also thought about bombs away. - Sure. Tally-ho, here comes a poop; Steven. - I went with poop fore. - [The Professor] Poop fore! - Yeah. - [The Professor] That's good. - And that's probably where that came from in golf, if this is accurate. - Ah. The common courtesy was to shout, "Look at below", not once, but three times. - Oh - Mmm. - And then you just go ahead and loose your stools upon the world. I'm gonna give that point to Ryan. - What? - Because I think tally-ho is a little more fun than poop fore. (laughing) - Poop fore? Hey, four is, like, almost three. - All right, moving along. The whole apocalyptic horror show really kicked off in October of 1347 when 12 Genoese ships pulled into a Sicilian port and the men who got off were, ah, they were puss and bones. They were just like walking skeletons, basically. - Oh, like "Pirates of the Caribbean: Black Pearl". - Yeah! - You look like blue Elmo. - Did you? He just talked about men walking off and being the human embodiment of skeletons. - Oh that's right, you're blue Grover. - I guess Sully from "Monsters inc" - No, Grover's blue Grover, you idiot! - You know this guy Shane Madej? - You look like a blue version of him. - No, I don't! (dramatic music) You know, nobody goes up to Kermit and says, "Hey, how's Jim?" - So you are familiar with the concept of a puppet, as a puppet? - I, I, you know, - Are you sentient? - That's very self-aware. - Dropping yersinia pestis into an urban setting was like dropping a match into a swimming pool full of gasoline. There were three distinct forms of the plague that ravaged the land. Bubonic, pneumonic, and septicemic. (exciting music) Which would you rather have? A, septicemic plague. B, pneumonic plague. Or C, bubonic plague. (Ryan laughs) - I do not know what these are. - Ryan, what'd you put? - I put B because septic is poop, like a septic tank. Bubonic, obviously bad. You said pneumonic? - Pneumonic. - Makes me think of pneumatic. - Oh, like at a bank. - Yeah, so when you put like a little important file or document in a little tube, it's-- - No, it's not a dunk, it's more of a thunk. - No, I think it's more of like a dunk. - It's more like a thunk. - Dunk. - Thunk. - Dunk. - Thunk. Steve, what'd you put? - Isn't pneum related to the lungs? - Yes. - So I thought, you know, I wanna breathe. - Sure. - So I chose A, septicemic. - Well, let's learn about them, and see if you made the right choice. (cymbal crashes) - [Steven] Pull that curtain down! - I got too obsessed with the thunk sound. - Hello. - Oh, hello. - I don't feel well and that's because I have classic bubonic plague. After being bit by a flea, I developed black egg-shaped swellings on my neck, and under my arms. These are called buboes. - What? Wait, what? Sorry, say that again. - They're called buboes. - They're called buboes? - They're called buboes. A funny name for the source of my greatest dread. In a short while, more splotches will riddle my body. (laughing) I will literally reek of death. And there's a 60% chance I'm a goner. - Guy's got the buboes. - This sucks. - [Steven] Sense of humor when I'm dying. - Hey. - Oh, shit! - Oh! - I don't feel well either. - You don't look well. - You have the same voice as guy one. - That's because I have pneumonic plague. Which is what happens when the plague bacteria travels to the lungs. (coughing) - [Ryan] Team B. Just my luck, I guess. (chuckles) Anyway, there's a 95% chance I'll die. - Oh, you down, Ryan! - But no buboes on your neck. (coughs) But not before I start coughing up blood and spending three days ceaselessly vomiting. (retches) - But, all this clear of buboes? - This sucks. - C'mon, septo! (teeth chattering) Under 60. - I don't feel well, either. And that's because I have septicemic plague, the rarest, but worst form. - Oh, no! - That means the plague has entered directly into my bloodstream. - You'll get 'em next time, pal. - If that sounds bad, that's because it really is. I have a 100% chance of dying. - No way, there's always a chance of living! - And by the time I realize I'm even sick, I'll only have about 14 and a half hours left on this mortal coil. Good thing I've got a short bucket list. A fun treat for me is that my extremities will turn black, and harden. - Wait, there's nothing to do with pooping? You don't poop yourself to death? - No. (Ryan laughs) - If you're all dead, why are you still standing? Okay, nobody gets points. - I mean, I have a 5% chance of living. - I have, - 0% chance. - I have a chance. - [Ryan] Oh, jesus! You almost killed the first guy. - Huh? - [Steven] And your glasses fell off. - Fuck, I forgot these guys are still out here. All right. How you guys doing, you hanging in there? - We're good, who gets the points? - I'm gonna give that point to Ryan because he only had a 95% chance of dying, whereas Steven is a goner. - I don't even want that trophy anyway. I want his satchel. - You don't even know what's in my satchel. - I kind of don't wanna know. - I wanna know. - Oh, you wanna know. Go on, open it up. - No I'm not gonna up-- - Open up my satchel. - I'm opening up the satchel. Can I open it? - Yeah. - Really? - There's not gonna be anything in there. - [Steven] Oh, my gosh! - Wait, is there actually something in there? - [Steven] Wow! - Wait, is there jelly beans in there? - No, no, you can't look, you can't look. - No, wait, if there's jelly beans in there, I want a jelly bean. - Yeah, go on. (dramatic percussive music) (laughing) - It is jelly beans. - It's actually jelly beans! Are you gonna eat that? You don't know where it's been. That could be puppet poop. - Don't matter. I'll die for a jelly bean, baby. It was delicious. - Do puppet poop jelly beans? - You know what, you're okay in my book, Professor. - Thank you! - You're okay. - Needless to say, those were all pretty gruesome ways to go. And it was happening everywhere. The records are shoddy. Most historians put the mortality rate around 30 to 40%, and in highly populated areas, it could have been as high as 50-60%. (exciting music) - Oh! - This is not a question, but a challenge. In the folders next to you, there are tiny envelopes. And in each of those tiny envelopes, is your fate. One of three of us will not make it. Now, I already opened mine, and I live, so. - Oh, man. - Oh, I do like this tiny little letter, that's kinda fun. - You wanna swap envelopes? - No. - Oh, like the old Monty Hall? - You sure? - You think it's worth it? - I think I'm good, I'm gonna keep my envelope. - Envelope. - Envelope, envelope? I think envelope. - Envelope. (dramatic music) - What? - Hey, look, it says I remain alive. - Well, no, "Congratulations, you have died. "Plus one history point." - [The Professor] Oh! Let's just bask in this for a moment, and try to feel the weight of a world without Steven Lim. (melancholic piano music) - [Steven] He's not real, it's a puppet. - [The Professor] Yes, I am. - [Steven] No, you're not real. - [The Professor] Yes, I am. - [Steven] How do you toss turds? - Well, he was a good guy, and I don't know what else to say about him, really. - Wow. - Back to the plague. Most hilarious part of this whole thing, to me, is that everybody who was supposed to have answers for this stuff, doctors, church leaders, they had no idea. Some renowned blowhard in Paris said it was caused by a strange alignment of the planets. - Could you say that sentence again? I got distracted. - Why? - No reason. - Well, god-fearing folks just chalked the thing up to divine wrath. Most of them probably thought it was the genuine end of days. There was a weird response to that in the form of the flagellants, a group of people who toured from town to town that show up, whip themselves to a bloody pulp, as the local townsfolk cheered them on, then writhe on the ground as the locals dipped their handkerchiefs in fresh puddles of blood. - They called themselves the flatulence? - [The Professor] No. (laughs) - [Steven] What did you say? - That's what it sounded like. - Yeah. - Sorry. - Did they go town farting? - The flagellants. - Oh! - Oh! - Like - No, we get it, yeah. - Flagelling? And as for doctors, they actually tried their best, but they also fell short. A lot of them blamed, quote, infected air. Which is sort of close, but they prescribed things like bloodletting and opening northern facing windows. (exciting music) Which of these other strange things was prescribed by doctors? A, huffing toilets. B, wine enemas. Or C, snorting ground-up wasp wings. - I'm already locked in, baby. - I'm locked in. - Ryan. - I'm gonna go with B, wine enemas, because I could see maybe how they would think that would flush the system. - Okay, and Steven? - I went with C. - C! Snorting-- - [Steven] The wasps. - Ground-up wasp wings. Well, one physician noticed that latrine cleaners seemed less vulnerable, which resulted in scores of people huffing actual - No way. - Human fecal fumes. - No way. - So, point to nobody. As you can imagine, once the death toll started to rise, things got real grim. Businesses closed up shop, people left town, carts made daily rounds to collect the previous night's deceased. It wasn't long before bodies were piling up. At night, dogs and pigs would feast on the shallowly buried bodies. With the graveyards filled, in some areas they dug mass burial pits. Elsewhere they dropped hundreds of corpses into a nearby river to take them to well, who the hell cares? - Yeah, as you would. - Somewhere else. In this kind of atmosphere, you can understand how people might just totally throw in the towel. In the novel "The Plague", the narrator exemplifies this emotional exhaustion. Quote, "None of us was capable of exalted emotion;" and had, all had, sorry. In his novel, ugh. (laughs) Gather yourself, Professor. - It's toasty back here. (laughs) "None of us was capable of exalted emotion; "all had trite, monotonous feeling. "'It's high time it stopped' people would say." - As you would say when all of your family members are dying. - It's high time this stopped. - High time this would stop. - I'm gonna start using that. (laughs) - Me, the puppet. - It's high time this would, but they said it in a British accent, though, right? - I mean, it was all over Europe, so. - High time this would stop. - It's high time it (laughs) is that German? I don't know what that was. Well, the constant looming specter of death also seeped into art. If you'll look in your folders at the supplementary materials. - [Steven] Oh! - Take them one at a time, here. You'll find some art from someone who lived through the trauma of the plague, Hans Holbein the Younger. And it features the dance macabre imagery that arose around the time. - Oh! There's a child. Oh, no! (The Professor laughs) - Oh god, that's great stuff. - Oh this is not funny. - [Ryan] No, that is pretty good stuff. - I do appreciate that. - Oh, that was dark. - [The Professor] No, don't take our baby! - The funniest thing about it is the nice little night-cap that he has on. - [The Professor] Yeah. - Hey, but that kid's shirt's pretty fashionable. - [Ryan] Yeah, that's the new Kanye collection. - [Steven] That really (laughs) is. - Well, in what must have seemed like a miracle, the plague would largely run its course by 1351. Luckily the rats carrying the plague were not actually native to Western Europe, so once the disease burned through the population, it could no longer sustain itself. Four years of constant gripping terror, and for what? Well I'll tell you what. There were some baller upsides to this whole thing that nobody ever talks about. So let's count our blessings. (exciting music) Which of these was an unexpected upside of the plague? A, it killed a very bad pope. B, it raised minimum wage. C, people made sheds out of bones. - Raised the minimum wage. Supply, demand, let's see that economic curve. - This is what Jeff Chang has in mind, right? - [The Professor] This is like a very depressing "Shark Tank". - I go B. - I'm gonna go B as well. - Couple of B's! My B boys again. - Yeah, we go riding hard. - Points for both of you. The job market was boomin'! So landlords tended to employ numerous workers, and since the workforce was in some places almost halved, they were desperate to hire whoever they could which allowed the workers to up their asking price. - Simple economics. - And while this would eventually level out a bit, it still permanently tipped the scales for the working class, and granted them both bargaining power, and a previously unseen confidence. So, despite the silver lining, there's no getting around the fact that the plague was one of, if not the most devastating blows, issued to humanity. To better illustrate that, one last shot at history points. (exciting music) If the plague happened today and took an equivalent toll on the population, how many people would die? - [Steven] Oh! - [The Professor] A, nearly 956 million. B, nearly 1.9 billion. Or C, nearly 7.53 billion. - I actually don't know how many people there are on the planet. - Really? - I really don't, yeah. - That's a number you should probably get to know. Is this double points here? - Yeah, you know what, yeah! - Wait what the hell, you can't just make that up on the spot! - Yeah, I did, it's double points! - Hey! - Ryan, what'd you put? - I put C - You put C? - You are so wrong. - That's right. - And Steven, what'd you put? - I put B because there are about 7 billion people on this earth, and a third of them would be around two billion. - That's exactly right, 1.9 is the estimated figure. Grim! So the finally history point goes to Steven. This concludes our history lesson. I'm going to go tally up the scores to see who receives the coveted cup and the title of history master. While I do that, please enjoy this special performance from, let's see, who do we have this week? Ah yes, death! (suspenseful music) β™ͺ You know during that funny little plague β™ͺ β™ͺ I worked some long hours β™ͺ β™ͺ And at the end of most days β™ͺ β™ͺ My dogs were barkin' β™ͺ β™ͺ But you know what they say β™ͺ β™ͺ If you love what you do β™ͺ β™ͺ You'll never work a day in your life β™ͺ β™ͺ Tell ya what I think it sure is fun β™ͺ β™ͺ To make people die β™ͺ β™ͺ You should see how friggin' funny ya look β™ͺ β™ͺ When the lights go out of your eyes β™ͺ β™ͺ Lights go out of your eyes β™ͺ - My god. β™ͺ And man I miss that old bubonic plague β™ͺ β™ͺ What a treat β™ͺ β™ͺ What a hoot β™ͺ β™ͺ What a gas β™ͺ β™ͺ Seein' pigs eat bodies in the street β™ͺ β™ͺ TBH it kinda kicked ass β™ͺ - This is intolerable. - This is amazing! β™ͺ Bodies here β™ͺ β™ͺ Bodies there β™ͺ β™ͺ Bodies everywhere β™ͺ β™ͺ Lumpy people droppin' left and right β™ͺ β™ͺ The putrid smell of rotting flesh in the air β™ͺ β™ͺ Ah but all good things come to an end β™ͺ β™ͺ And to be honest β™ͺ β™ͺ I needed a rest β™ͺ β™ͺ But I'll never forget how great it felt β™ͺ β™ͺ To cash that overtime check β™ͺ (clapping) - All right, sure, why not. - Yes. - C'mon, that was quite - I don't know if it was standing O worthy. - That was quite standing worthy - I don't know if it was standing O worthy, but. - I want that guy to narrate next time. - What? What'd you say, Steven? - Uh-oh, ah, nothing. Nothing about you. You're doing a good job with the curtain. - Thank you. - Well done. - When you were backstage, he said you sucked. - No, no no. I do love the man who decides my fate with the trophy. - He said you stunk big time, and then he made a fart noise. - Well let's give it up for that wonderful performance. What a guy. (claps) - Yeah, it was good. - What a guy! And now, for the total scores. It appears that Steven Lim - That's right. - Is our history master with five history points! - Five points, baby! - [Ryan] Bogus! - 'Cause I died! - Steven, come collect the coveted history cup. - Thank you. - You are the history master. - I'm gonna walk by you slowly so that you can see who won. - You don't deserve it. You don't deserve that! You don't deserve that! - Oh my god! And I have a bottle of jelly beans inside the trophy. - Again, that is my poop. - I don't think he ever mentioned that before. - Well, thank you for watching "Puppet History".
