Episode 21: Did a pair of stranded donkeys spark a 19th century catchphrase? - CHRISTMAS SPECIAL!
Yes or BS
12/29/19 • 78 min
Happy Christmas everyone! Who needs a bumper crop of festive nonsense to go with all your roast parsnips and pigs in blankets? No one, that’s who. But too bad – you’re getting a bumper bonus episode of Yes or BS anyway! As always, here are six suitably festive facts and stories, some of which are entirely true, some of which are complete BS. Did Charles Dickens have a real life moorhen-eating miser in mind when he wrote A Christmas Carol? Was a sleepy Wiltshire village spooked by a UFO one bizarre Christmas morning? Is the Star Wars Holiday Special not actually the weirdest festive entry in the Star Wars canon? And did a pair of donkeys stranded on an island in Yorkshire on Christmas morning in 1806 spark a short-lived nineteenth century catchphrase? You can probably answer that last one already, but why not listen along anyway to find out more!

We’re halfway through Season 3 of Yes or BS already, and we’re reaching the milestone with facts about palaeontology, psychology, literature, and swearing parrots. Is déjà-vu caused by a misfired fight-or-flight impulse? Was the first automatic washing machine partly made out of parts salvaged from a naval scrapyard? Did the first draft of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory really involve Charlie being encased in solid chocolate? And which President had a pet called Fightin’ Bob Evans? And as always, ynbelievably, some of this BS is actually completely true...

We’ve reached the halfway point in Season 2 of Yes or BS, and things are just as eclectic as ever... This week, Ant and Paul decide whether there was once a Nigerian terracotta army, whether Florence Nightingale’s protégé used carbolic acid to clean Crimean War wounds, whether hyperinflation addled the brains of German accountants, and if Sir Antony Eden once accidentally went on holiday with one of 20th century history’s most famous characters.

Yes or BS

Surprise! Ahead of Season 3 of Yes or BS arriving this September, here’s something a bit special – our very first team episode, featuring the brilliant Aven and Mark from The Endless Knot! For one week only, Ant and Paul are are working together as Team Yes or BS, taking on (and being utterly outclassed by)Team Endless Knot, Aven and Mark, playing live down the line from Canada. The Endless Knot is a brilliant podcast, YouTube channel, and Instagram feed dedicated to classical and mediaeval history, literature, language and linguistics – and how these fields (as well as a great many more) are interconnected in often obscure and fascinating ways. Track it down via all the usual podcast providers, as well as online at alliterative.net: Website: www.alliterative.net Twitter: @AllEndlessKnot, @Alliterative, @AvenSarah Facebook: www.facebook.com/alliterativeendlessknot Instagram: www.instagram.com/alliterativeendlessknot YouTube: www.youtube.com/Alliterative Patreon: www.patreon.com/TheEndlessKnot So who will come out victorious today? Will Ant finally run out of Ancient Rome facts? Will Paul ever learn anything about popular culture? Will Team Yes or BS manage to set aside their natural competitiveness and work together?! You’ll have to listen in to find out the answers to all those questions – as well as what the priciest finger in mediaeval blood money reparations was, and whether or not the biggest theatre in London once played host to a ridiculously perilous revolving horse race... Stay tuned for Season 3 of Yes or BS coming very soon!
