Episode #47: 1922 Timeline Twist & The Straw Hat Riots

11/20/2024: On today’s episode, Valerie features communism, fascism, and disasters up top, we remember our Jungle Juice days, consider the origins of the Sidecar cocktail and Girl Scout cookies, discuss art movements as a reaction to living through history, tap into 1922 opinions on Jazz, and finally, cover the Top 5 Hillbilly (Country) Chart hits where one artist DOMINATED the list. Next, Amy Jo presents the story of the Straw Hat Riots. Tis’ a tale of toxic masculinity gone awry, featuring the fashionable boater hat (it was good enough for Coco Channel!), and BOTH kinds of Hat Days! Amy Jo introduces how the hat industry could have encouraged the behavior, and highlights the point where good old-fashioned hat destruction by “youthful marauders” turned into a “straw hat smashing orgy” and became potentially dangerous.
