Night Classy

Hayley covers drunken, gold-nose-wearing astronomer, Tycho Brahe. When he wasn’t making wildly accurate observations with his naked eye, he was partying with his pet moose. Next, Kat covers “good speech,” also known as the transatlantic accent. You must speak in cursive and be classist to excel at this way of speaking!   https://linktr.ee/NightClassy Produced by Parasaur Studios © 2023   Steve Jobs Clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lEnMmH9qh4 Hayley Sources: Tycho Brahe, The Most Eccentric, Bizarre Man You've Never Heard Of Merrell https://www.academia.edu/42962620/Tycho_Brahe_The_Most_Eccentric_Bizarre_Man_Youve_Never_Heard_Of Tycho Brahe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tycho_Brahe The eccentric life and mysterious death of pioneering Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe Valjak & Domagoj Valjak Domagoj Valjak is one of the authors writing for The Vintage News https://www.thevintagenews.com/2017/10/05/the-eccentric-life-and-mysterious-death-of-pioneering-danish-astronomer-tycho-brahe/?safari=1 Tycho Brahe: the Astronomer with the Brass Nose Greene https://www.thoughtco.com/tycho-brahe-3071077 The Eccentric Lives Of Scientists: Tycho Brahe (65) et al. https://steemit.com/history/@sustainablyyours/the-eccentric-lives-of-scientists-tycho-brahe https://faculty.wcas.northwestern.edu/infocom/Ideas/brahe.html Transatlantic Accent  https://www.theguardian.com/film/filmblog/2016/jun/21/clara-bow-wild-child-hollywood-history-silent-film https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/how-a-fake-british-accent-took-old-hollywood-by-storm https://www.backstage.com/magazine/article/what-is-a-transatlantic-accent-75376/ https://howtotransatlanticaccent.wordpress.com/2016/05/02/step-four-happy-happeh/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid-Atlantic_accent https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2013/08/the-rise-and-fall-of-katharine-hepburns-fake-accent/278505/ https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/canadian-dainty-accent-canada-day-1.4167610  

Kat tells the story of Muggs the chimpanzee who ape-eared just in time to save The Today Show. Remember, no matter how cute you are, you will never be as cute as a baby chimpanzee. Then, Hayley teaches the barfo-disgusto history of autopsies. It turns out Gangrene pus doesn’t taste good.

Hayley analyzes the only series that went out of its way fail the Bechdel test: Cops. This topic does not stem from an admiration for policing in the US, but rather to understand how and why a TV series was produced chronicling it. Next, Kat leans into one of her favorite genres: mysterious conditions. Voice-o change-o, officially known as Foreign Accent Syndrome, causes people to inexplicably start speaking in what sounds like a foreign accent... This is not the same as when you got your retainer installed in middle school. https://linktr.ee/nightclassy Produced by Parasaur Studios © 2023   Hayley Sources: Wikipedia: Cops The truth behind the TV show Cops by Vox Things we just learn about the TV show Cops by Weird History  Cops: the violent legacy of a TV show that sculpted America’s view of police by Helen Molofsky in The Guardian How truthful is ‘Cops’? A fixture of reality TV faces scrutiny by Jack Healy in the New York Times  

Kat tells the story of The Great Chicago Fire and examines possible suspects, including but not limited to Peg Leg Sullivan and engorged udders. The fire burned 4 square miles, killed 300 people, and left another 90,000 homeless, but at least we got Chicago’s first Little Free Library out of it. Then, Hayley exposes chiropractors for what they really are: raw milk drinking FREAKS. Not to marsh anyone’s mellow, but they don’t really have magnetic hands. https://linktr.ee/nightclassy Produced by Parasaur Studios © 2023

Project C in 1963 Birmingham stood for Project... Children? No, Project (non-violent) Confrontation to end segregation. Children across the city did march and altered the trajectory of the Civil Rights Movement. Next, Kat teaches about identical twins Sabina and Ursula Eriksson who folie à deux'ed their way onto the British version of COPS in a shared psychosis.  Night Classy Store https://linktr.ee/nightclassy

Hayley covers the notorious cold case of the Somerton that has now been SOLVED. Did a religious extremist Little Free Library crack the case? No. But it would be a lot cooler if it did. Then, Kat delivers a crash course on the misunderstood religion of Vodou and the woman who cemented it to the culture of New Orleans. Come explore the mysterious and complicated life of Voodoo Queen, Marie Laveau. Night Classy Store https://linktr.ee/nightclassy

Kat introduces us to Gloria Ramirez, the definition of TOXIC. Her personality was lovely but she was mysteriously oily, her blood smelled of amonia and had flecks of... something... in it. Next, Hayley reveals the secrets of an ancient underground city which closely resembles an ant farm.  https://linktr.ee/NightClassy Produced by Parasaur Studios © 2023

Hayley wraps up her lesson on The Silk Road AKA anonymous Amazon + drugs. The moral of the story is never use your personal gmail when running an international drug trade. Next, there’s nothing George Hull does better than revenge. Kat introduces us to modern farmhouse icon, the Cardiff Giant. What the giant lacked in authenticity and biblical relevance, he made up for in his manly anatomy. Amen.  https://linktr.ee/NightClassy Produced by Parasaur Studios © 2023

Hayley covers "Anonymous Amazon" which is what we like to call ourselves when packages show up at our doorstep and we have no idea who could've possibly ordered all these??? Anonymous packages also come in handy when your name is Ross Ulbricht you're operating the largest online black market: Silk Road. Next, Kat teaches us about the Sunken Cost Fallacy with a real word example! The 1981 movie ROAR will literally kill you if you drink everytime you hear the name "TOGAR," who happens to star as one of over a hundred wild animals in "The World's Most Dangerous Movie Ever Made."   Watch ROAR (1981) on YouTube for free © 2023 Parasaur Studios
