Sometimes a FIRST isn't something that's sought, but something that seeks you. Back in 1887, Susanna M. Salter became the First Woman Elected Mayor in the U.S. and it's a heck of a story. Join us, and special guest Julia Clausen (Book Club with Julia & Victoria) as we unravel and unwind, and manage to discuss Susanna Salter's story. Plus, we touch on myriad topics political, pop cultural, and more. Oh, and of course there's a MouthGarf Report and I See What You Did There!

Crafts... they're fun, they're hands-on, they're practical and evolutionary. And they had to start somewhere. We take our Debut Buddies Time Machine back to 30,000 BC to discuss the FIRST CRAFT(S)! Maybe it was pottery, maybe it was weaving and looming, but one thing's for sure, we each tried to do a craft and some of us (Chelsea and Kelly) succeeded in creating NON-ABOMINATIONS! But Nate's pot isn't too bad and could be useful for self-defense if nothing else. Join us for a survey of crafting history from pottery to baskets to linens and more! Plus, there's a very special MouthGarf Report and I See What You Did There!

**SPOILERS** for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice! (You've been warned! <3) In 1988, someone said an undead name thrice and we never forgot about it. And 36 years later, someone said it thrice again... twice... and a movie was born, yet again. We discuss Tim Burton's new film Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, its past, its present, its maybe future. And then we talk about spooky season, birds, and the Flanagan-verse! After after the MouthGarf Report, we dive into another game of I See What You Did There!

It's a plane, it's Superman... it's a... BIRD! Let's take Ye Olde Timed Machinerium back to the Jurassic Period shall we? It's time to for the Debut Buddies to find the FIRST BIRD. This "ancient wing" hung out mostly in Germany, probably listening to Kraftwerk, but now it's a fossil and--boy--are we feeling paleontological! After digging into our newest fine, feathered friend, we talk MouthGarf, and play another rousing game of I See What You Did There!

PANTS! They were essential to Western Expansion in the 1800s... but damn if they didn't suffer frequent "blow outs" to the pockets and crotch! That's embarrassing! Luckily, a tailor named Jacob Davis took up the challenge to reinforce denim and found a partner in a certain famed jean magnate, way before he was even a jeans gent! Fast forward to today and we're all pretty much always wearing jeans because we love the look and that sweet sweet indigo weave. This episode, we discuss the FIRST LEVI'S JEANS! We also get buggy in the MouthGarf Report and silly in I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE!

In 1869, a crew secretly dug a tunnel under Broadway in Manhattan. That tunnel became a huge attraction that proved scientific potential, supporting Civil War orphans, and eventually fell into disrepair. On this episode, we discuss the First New York City Subway and its creator, Alfred Ely Beach, who was one of those few-and-far-between Good Dudes of History. We also find some great birds and a truly magnificent Garf in the MouthGarf Report. And you better believe we play I See What You Did There.

A colorfully named cast of suited criminals with equally colorful vocabularies walk into a diamond heist... If you haven't heard this one before, you'll want to check out 1992's Reservoir Dogs, the first film by Quentin Tarantino. With special guest, Eric Weintraub, author of the books South of Sepharad, and Dreams of an An American Exile, we Buddies explore the low-budget, tautly scripted, bloody violent movie! We come up with a lot of great insights, but sadly, no bare feet... at least not yet. Then we check in with the MouthGarf Report, and play a little I See What You Did There!

Check out Eric's new novel: South of Sepharad

Let's talk about labor, their trials and travails, their battles with oppressive and abusive employers, their wresting from beneath the boots of all systems monarchical, oligarchical, and industrial. On this episode we dive into the First Labor Union, with special appearance by Weavers, Cordwainers, Blanketeers, Spenceans, and more. Join us because collective knowledge is collective power. We also drop in for an especially hairy MouthGarf Report, a bountiful I See What You Did There, and we celebrate our own little milestone too!
