It's Who Was? The history quiz show that for today only hasn't one question true or false. I'm beat, and remember I'm not only your who Was announcer, I'm also

a client. Let's get into this first episode where Pudini, the master escape artist himself stopped by to test our contestants knowledge. Let's listen in and see if Declan or Josie escape with a winning score. Roll that episode. Please, we're talking a lot about magic, but we should clarify that Harry Houdini considered himself an escape artist. That is correct, Harry Houdin, how'd you get here? I will never reveal my techniques? Uh? You used the who was that? Bright?

I used the who was that? He was? Want? Yes, everybody's favorite encrypted messaging service to famous folks from the past, The who was app Well? I heard you were learning all about me today, so I came to perform one of my death defying escapes for you. Behold as I Erry Houdini escaped from handcuffs, wrapped in chains covered in glue, put in a straight jacket made out of cement, while wearing a bow tie. Is the bow tie also a lock? No,

it just looks cool. Here I go, Mr Houdini. This is very entertaining, but we kind of have our next game to get too, so, so you'd like me to read the questions while holding my breath? Got it? I don't think that sounds like a good idea. Hey, when has that ever stopped us? Eric plea the true or false intro. Please false it's a false, it was a true. It's truth that has false? It was true or true?

True or false? For this game, Gudini will read you a statement and then you will then let us know if that statement is true or you guessed it false. Declan europe first. True or false. My father was known as the King of Handcuffs in Hungary, which is why before I took his title, I called myself the Prince of the Air. Um, now that's true, it's false. I mean, that's right, it's false. That said, well, you know what I mean. You got it right. Harry's father was a rabbi,

not the King of handcuffs. Harry made up the name the Prince of the Air for one backyard circus he put on when he was nine years old. Later in life, he fibbed and told reporters he performed in many circuses as a child. He was all, now this is a story all about how my life got flipped turned upside down. I'd like to take a minute to sit right there. I'll tell you how I'd be earned the name of the Prince of the Air. Next question is for Josie.

True or false. When I was only thirteen, my father made me promise to always take care of my mother and on like chains and locks. I never broke that promise. That's right, it's true. Sadly, Harry's father passed away when Harry was young and made him promise to take care of his mother, Cecilia. Harry and his mother were extremely close, and he even missed performing for the King of Sweden so he could go see her when she fell ill.

Next question is for a declin true or false. Everyone knows that I was the number one enemy of straight jackets, but did you also know that during a big stunt in London, I also became the destroyer of coats. False. No, that's true. Don't worry, it's okay, don't. During one of Harry's big shows where he was put in the impossible to escape mirror cuffs, he tore his coat off on stage,

only moments before he escaped from the handcuffs. This helped him become an even bigger celebrity in Europe, except, of course, with Taylor's. They don't like it when you rip up their coats. Next question is for Josie that Taylor was very upset with me true or false. While I made many escapes in my day, the one thing I couldn't escape was all the praise I got for being an incredible actor once I crossed over to making movies. I'm sorry,

that's false. Houdini did make movies, and the early ones were successful, but he was never considered a good actor. Critics said he was a terrific escape artist who couldn't act at all. I'm free, I didn't perfectly timed, because that's the end of the game. True true, true, awful, Wow, what a master of suspense. I was on pins and needles, and I was there when it happened the first time. Our next episode is all about another great performer, Lucille Ball.

Let's get into it with our two lovely contestants from that episode, Charlie and Kayleie. For this game, be will read a statement. You will then let us know if that statement is true or false. And since this is our second round, each question is worth two points. Kylie Europe first, All right, True or false. Lucille Ball was a star as soon as she decided she wanted to be an actress. False. That's right, that is false. When she started her teachers told her she didn't have any talent.

They said she would never be an actress, but instead she ended up being one of the most popular performers of all times. So take that, teachers. This next question is for you, Charlie, all right, Charlie. Lucille became known for her physical comedy, which she learned in part from silent film star Buster Keaton. Is that true or false? True? That is true? Buster Keaton and Lucy became big friends

at MGM Studios in nineteen forties. Buster was passed his big starring days, but showed the up and coming Lucille how to use props to create short, funny skits, a skill she would perfect on the Isle of Lucy Show. The two even appeared on screen together in nineteen sixty five in a tribute to another physical comedian, Stan Laurel of Laurel and Hardy Fame back to you, Kylie, all right, Keylye,

this question is for you. When Lucy became pregnant with her second child, studio executives were excited to include it in the storyline of I Love Lucy. Is that true or false? True? No, I'm sorry, the answer is false. Lucy had to convince the studio executives to allow her character to be pregnant, and over a total of seven episodes, it was the first pregnancy in real time to be shown on television. Even after CBS agreed they wouldn't let the characters say Lucy was the word pregnant, and they

made them say expecting instead. This last question is for you, Charlie. All right in the Museum of Broadcasting honored Lucy as the Princess of Comedy. Is this true or false? It true? I'm sorry it was false. She was honored as the

Queen of Television. At a ceremony for her, then President Ronald Reagan reminded the crowd that more people tuned in to watch the episode of her show where her son, Little Ricky was born, then watched the inauguration of President Dwight eisen Our take that, CBS executives, And that's the

end of the round. True, true, amazing, And now we need to take a short break, but don't go anywhere, because we'll be back with two more episodes, all about two people who really knew their way around a garden, agricultural scientist George Washington Carver and American folk legend Johnny apple seed, Eric, play us some queen of television, prince of air music? Please, Hey, who was ours? Want to make a shout out to your own favorite person history,

famous or unfamous? Do you think your sour dough recipe is better than ours? Would you like to tell us your craziest dream? What I'm trying to say is we want to hear from you, so send us an email or voice memo at the Who Was Podcast at gmail dot com. Welcome back to the Who Was Podcast? Pure Falls super Cut Edition in Okay, Okay, Geraldine, I know

you're excited, but please have patience our audience listening. I understand the next game means a lot to you because George Washington Carver did a lot of great things for your favorite food, the peanut. Now let's hear how well our contestants, Ellie and Kinsley recall all the facts of his amazing life. Roll that tape. The first question goes to Ellie, take it away. Being though we know him as George Washington Carver, for most of his early life,

George went by the name Carver's George. Is this true or false? True? That's right, It's true. He was born to parents who have been enslaved by Moses and Susan Carver, and did not have the last name of his own because slavery was abolished when he was a baby. He still went by Carver's George until about the age of thirteen, when he, like many formally enslaved people, took the surname

of his former owners. The next question is or Kinsley Highland College, where George was accepted after completing high school, was the first educational institute that turned him away because he was black? Is this true or false? False? That's right, it's false. As a young child, George, who was also turned away from his local school because it was for white children, only get to travel many miles to a neighboring town to attend the school that was for black students.

George would end up doing this several more times over the course of his early life. He never let it get in the way though, of his thirst for education and knowledge. The next question is for Ellie the Tuskegee Institute, a historically black college and vocational center in Alabama where George Todd was established by another famous Black American whose initials are the same as the acronym for by the Way bt W. Or bt dubs False. I'm sorry that's true. The bt W was book or T. Washington, a leader

in the black community, later advised several presidents. George decide to leave his life in Iowa to go teach at the new Tuskeee Institute because it felt he could do the most good for his community there. The next question, this is the last one for the round, goes to Kinsley. George is best remembered for his work as being the patron Saint of peanuts, but another name he could have earned was Sir Sweet Potato because of his work encouraging farmers to grow sweet potatoes. Is that true or false?

I think it's false. I'm sorry that was true. George wanted to help southern farmers improve their soil and their incomes, encouraged them to stop focusing on cotton and instead grows sweet potatoes, cow peas, sweet beats, rice, soybeans, and alfalfa. And those are the ingredients for a great salad, which we can now eat because it's the end of the round. Salad time everybody. True. True, true, Wow. That episode was

crunchy and creamy, delicious. And now for our last episode, a very special guest Johnny apples eat himself drops by to plant some seeds of knowledge for our contestants, August and Brady. Okay, here's how this game works. Johnny apple Seed will read a statement, and you'll tell us whether it's true or false. You guessed, yeah, And since it's our first game, each question is worth one point. August, you'll be going first. True or false. During my travels,

settlers would offer me a place to stay over. Not not sure, love sleeping in a nice, warm bed. False. That's right, it's false. Johnny loved sleeping outside. He'd cover himself with a blanket of leaves to stay warm. And if the weather was bad, well he construct a small hut or sleep in a hollow tree. We call that the rat coon's sweet. Okay, the next question is for Brady. True or false. In order to get apple seeds for

my orchards, I've eat six the apples a week. That's eight point five seven apples a day to keep all the doctors awake. False. He got him from shire Mills. Yeah, I'm gonna tell you about it. You're right, can go Okay, trying cider mills and many towns would match their leftover apples to make apple cider and just throw away the apple cores. Johnny considered this a waste because cores contained seeds.

The good news is, since the mills consider them trash, Johnny could have the seeds for free, proving once again the old saying, multiple cider mills trash is a barefoot man's treasure. It's an old saying. Lots of people say it, right, you've heard it before. That's definitely not you've never heard that before. No, that's my life. Well you heard it now. The next question here is for August, so listen up AGAs true or false. Back in my day, farmers did

not fertilize their land. My day was a while ago, but I assume you kids still love farmer trivia. That's right, It's true. After several seasons of crops, soil loses its richness. Today we use fertilizer to maintain the soil, But back then people would just move on and look for fresh land to farm on, leaving that soil behind them. The next question is for Brady, true or false. I'd only work on my orchards for a month or two, and the rest of the year I just put the feet

up and let the money roll in. False. That's right, it's false. Johnny's orchards kept him busy year round. In the fall, he'd go to sider mills and collect those precious apple seeds we heard about. In the winter, he'd fix his orchard fences, and these helped keep animals from using his trees as food. In spring and summer, he tended the orchards, clearing the land and planting seeds. And he was also a traveling salesman, selling apple seeds and

seedlings to settlers. Selling apple seeds and seedlings to seedlings to settlers. Try saying that three times fast. Talk about a multitasker. Yeah, no kidding, Elliott, No tiper dunk twisters. It's the end of the game. True true false. Well that's it for our show this week. Join us next week when no, Geraldine, we can't do another episode on George Washington Carver. No matter how much you want to get in with the Peanut board, people will start to think we're in the pocket of Big Peanut and I
