Historiography!

It happens every 4th of July, the Nathan's Hot Dog eating competition! This one is intense!! I hope you guys enjoy the video and your 4th of July! Be safe and don't do anything I wouldn't do! ;) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYZoAJ5ayZo

I talk about the unveiling of Xbox live! In 2002 gamers could now directly connect with other gamers through the world wide web, and even trash talk to them! This had huge impacts historically! Matt will explain everything!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9X39SWIaIN4

Zach Groshell joins me again and we discuss a 1960's film on the Natonal School Lunch Program and its importance! We also talk about our own memories of school lunch in High School and the continued importance of giving every child a nutritional lunch! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WH19SplNR6c Check out Zach's blog on teaching right here! www.educationrickshaw.com

In 1997 Oliver McCall realized he wasn't going to win a fight, and mentally broke down on national television. Even if you aren't a boxing fan you will find this interesting in that we have all felt those emotions slowly slip before! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlXqbpzIc5I&t=1305s My bff Zach has an excellent blog about teaching that you should absolutely check out!

This is a fun one! We check out a training video on how to sell a Ford automobile! Why was it made, and how does it exemplify the American dream for many in the 1950's? Also, how cute is that relationship between the new automobile salesmen and his significant other?! I teared up at the end!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvY7ZwZ3mr4&t=22s

PBS made a show to get kids pumped about math again and it is amazing! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-vPvGoB6YA Also omg Errol Spence Junior! Watch him fight, he is gorgeous and I might have a crush on him for the way he goes about winning! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGQRwn7FovE

We are talking boxing tonight! Boxing is my favorite sport ever and it is fights like this that make me love it! Jakubowski loses in 2 rounds, but makes the brutal end incredibly heartwarming, and gives the hopeless hope that you can make anything a win with the right attitude! Yay Eric! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeWjbbOjMcE&t=717s

I keep meaning to post these episodes during the week, but then never have enough content! Right now I am at my Mom's and she is sick so instead of bugging her with my lovely historical passion I am gonna post this last one from my reserves! I will be working at camp starting Wednesday so Max and I will crank the rest of these out and we will go back to Sunday's being episodes on different snapshots in history! Thank you all so much for keeping up with this project! This episode is BONKERS! Absolutely bonkers. The title says it all! I am aware that this is episode 16 and we are only on part 15, I have no idea how that happened, this week has been insane (applying for certification programs and I am upping my Oregon Trail streams to 20 hours a week, so any extra time I have I like to be for me personally) I appreciate your understanding! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1VbOQPxpSU

Max and I are back with more Bug Juice! The boys go on a hike and John annoys the hell outta me! The girls have a stellar basketball team! Let's talk about it on this episode of.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnS6ElathOY

I am moving and we have been busy so I decided to hold this episode until today! We are gonna finish these up but here is episode 13 of Bug Juice!! I am going to be working at Camp starting May 12th so we will churn out the rest of these in rapid pace soon =) Thanks for sticking with us, this is a deep one! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOcLReaUv7Q

My best friend Zach Groshell asked me to do a lil somethin somethin for his class so this episode is for that! It's about the importance of Bill Nye in American culture and his success in making science both cool and accessible to the masses! If you are a teacher that is teaching the 3 phases of matter this would be a good 1-2 punch coupled with the episode itself! I hope you like it, sorry for the delay on the Bug Juice episodes, we are slowly getting them done! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBgM73DLK1s

The new kids are here!! There are a ton of new faces and we struggle to keep up! But we are darn excited to see them all! The dynamics of each cabin change completely, let's talk about it! Also, chill out Jon! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqtSh_TM8zQ

Session 1 is over! Max and I reminisce over the kids who are leaving and rejoice over the ones staying. We talk about the importance of the final embers, or as they call it on this show, a huddle up and give some predictions as to what may happen in session 2! I hope Stephanie finds her new Connor! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOhRuNJnEnc&t=2s

Max and I revisit our lovely friends Fatal1ty, Graig, Billy and The Order of Light on MTV's True Life episode, "I'm A Professional Gamer." We focus this time on the changes in video games from then and now and how those changes have impacted professional gaming! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJPsPQBidjA Also huge shout out to Hyper RPG for being awesome! If you are a Twitcher and want a fun inclusive community to be a part of check them out! www.twitch.tv/hyperrpg

Session 1 appears to be coming to an end, which means there are breakups aplenty! The resilience of these kids is pretty darn inspiring! Andrew also finds his niche at camp, we love you Andrew! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlzYNYvjBqs

Martha, whom we have only seen like 3 times in the whole show so far all of a sudden has an entire episode dedicated to her! Yay Martha! Allsion and Jenny decide to stay back from the big hike which is a really dumb idea! May you enjoy this episode as much as the girls enjoyed their fryed soggy bagels, yum! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVF8Clz8fIw

There is a crime ring at camp that is circulating candy to campers jonesing for it! Who could this shadowy figure be?? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKJGWqUEdC8

My friend Arron joins me at camp and we discuss the X Games! 1997 was the 3rd year they were doing them so questions on how exactly to market it, and what events were going to be in the X Games were still up in the air! Here is some coverage and previews of the games from an ESPN 2 Broadcast in 1997! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6tgGBNCahc&t=1939s

We are back! The boys decide to go slip and slide around in a rainstorm while the girls are in a constant state of turmoil! But a campfire ends up bringing them all together! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G83g81kulvg

I can't get his name right! There are some creepy moments in this episode as well as some great basketball moments! The Wig Wam vs. Wazi Rivalry is for realz! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RZ6e5OHFXs
