Ep 82 - And Don't You Forget It!! - The Alamo
Description
Oh, Texas! Always in a tizzy aren't y'all? Today we start off with the question what do John Wayne, Lyndon Johnson, and Phil Collins all have in common? You guessed it! they are obsessed with The Alamo. We'll discuss the truths (Yes, they all fought to the death) and the myths (no, they weren't 'heroes' - specifically because they were all fighting for their rights to enslave people). We'll talk about what happened in the brutal hour-long battle in 1836 and then the battle to memorialize the land and the story that has raged since then.
As of this story "Phil Collin's museum of questionable Alamo stuff" is still pending in San Antonio.
Want to hear our John Wayne impression? It's just "Howdy, Señorita" - pls read that in a John Wayne voice.
