Another excellent show. The horse being all "sure, poo poo on me" was fantastic as was Armstrong's "I'm drunk, I'll do whatever".

I had to pause from laughter after that line. Then I rewound and had to pause again because I noticed the horse's mouth moving.

I really like Gloria Calderon Kellett as narrator. It's always good when they're clearly enthusiastic about the subject matter.

Yeah I noticed during this story that her way of storytelling fits Drunk History perfectly. The second story about Sam the Banana Man is another reason why I love this show so much. Apparently some punk teenager tries a banana in the late 1800's, loves it, and notices people dumping ripe bananas overboard. He convinces them to sell the ripe bananas to him instead and proceeds to make $100,000 selling bananas in America before he's 21. Who the gently caress knew?!

Overall I think this was one of the best episodes yet, certainly the best episode of this season so far. The other episodes have taken a rewatch for me to truly appreciate, which is typical for me and this show, but this one was even great live; can't wait to rewatch it!

The moment I had to rewind for was such a short, stupid moment, but when Young Louie Armstrong is riding around on his horse with his cornet and he plays a little melody and goes "We're comiiin!" That little kid just nailed the facial expression on that and it cracked me up.

Nevermind that he also overthrew a government so that he wouldn't have to pay taxes on his bananas. It was like Operation Ajax except over bananas instead of oil.

The Louis Armstrong story was the weakest story-wise, but they made up for it by being funny.

Thing is, I've heard the story of how Chiquita sponsored a military coup a few times, but never the first part. It's much more interesting this way.

In general, I really like the female narrators a lot better than the guys.

Really liked that episode. It probably helps that I'm not American so I'm not as knowledgeable on the local folklore, but this show is actually quite informative and educational.

Even something really well known like Louie Armstrong has some interesting tidbits.

I'm sure it's """""unintentional""""" but it is really obvious when Derek doesn't really like a male storyteller. he doesn't react, just deadpans them the entire time. With women there is a 10/10 chance he will slowly get closer to them over the course of the story eventually sitting on the same couch cushion as the women with his arm around them. It's getting really hard not to notice.

so its nice when someone like Morgan Murphy just starts punching him, probably got sick of that poo poo 10 minutes in.
