June 25 marks the advent of two incredibly important inventions in the history of civilization ; June 25 1630 saw the introduction of the fork, while June 25, 1867 was day barbed wire was patented.
Today’s program considers how our history might’ve changed had these dates been reversed ; nearly 250 years could’ve elapsed with nothing being eaten except soup. Conversely, barbed-wire death matches (electrified and otherwise) could’ve begun much, much earlier. Of course, these were hundreds of years before the birth of Abdullah The Butcher whose body of work would’ve undoubtedly suffered had he been toiling during a gap between forks and barbed wire.
My monologue about this subject is nearly two hours long and rather than save it for patreon subscribers, I’ve instead deleted the entire thing. You simply don’t deserve to hear it. So It’s another all-music episode (sorry).
