Hello.

0:00

Answer me this listeners. Ollie here. Happy

0:02

New Year. No. This isn't a

0:04

new episode of Answer me this, just to kill

0:07

that dreamstone dead. But who knows? You

0:09

know, one day, do keep following this video, won't

0:11

you? What this is

0:13

is a reminder that I do a daily show

0:16

these days which as an answer me this fan,

0:18

you will probably enjoy. It's called

0:20

today in history with the Retrospectors'

0:24

and not to show my workings. But

0:26

went on to me this ended. I

0:28

was like, how how can I continue to

0:30

live this lifestyle of recording

0:32

for a couple of hours per week with teammates?

0:35

On a variety of bizarre trivia

0:37

topics. And from that idea, today

0:40

in history, with the Retrospectors' bloomed,

0:42

It is essentially me taking

0:45

the same tone that I used to answer me

0:46

this, with little less profanity

0:49

and a little more research. But

0:51

just chopped into daily ten minute episodes

0:53

instead of being constructed as an hour long.

0:56

Entertainment, there are now over four

0:58

hundred editions. Of today

did, have answered me this in fourteen years. So that's

1:10

weird. But please do check us out.

1:32

for. But you don't have

1:34

to go anywhere because here is proof of concept.

1:36

A couple of episodes for you to sample right

1:38

now. You are about to hear about

1:41

the day in history that nineties icon

1:43

Blobby was created and

1:45

the day in history that probably saw

1:47

the invention of the hamburger. My

1:49

co hosts are Rebecca Messina and Ariane

1:51

McMill I hope you enjoy these two

1:54

ten minute tasters. Take

1:56

it away, voice over man. It's

2:00

July four. Eighteen

2:02

ninety one and another remarkable

2:04

event is about to be uncovered by

2:07

our

2:07

area, Rebekah and Ali,

2:09

the retrospectors. If

2:13

you had been a guest at Oscar Bilby's Fourth

2:15

of July party at his ranch just outside

2:17

Tulsa, Oklahoma on this day, you would

2:19

have been lucky enough to enjoy delicious Angus

2:21

beef burgers served on homemade buns.

2:24

So far, so forth of July, but what

2:26

made this occasion special is that this is

2:28

the first hamburger in history, maybe.

2:31

That

2:31

maybe is doing a lot of work in that sensitive. Yeah.

2:34

Alright. And they I am a Blobby of

2:36

Dan, and I will take you all on. I know it's the

2:38

fourth of July, and I know you're excited to celebrate

2:40

the origin of the burger. But, yeah, just put a

2:42

heavy disclaimer at the top. There's the legitimacy of

2:44

this date that we're celebrating. All

2:46

comes down to whether or not you think. A hamburger

2:49

is a hamburger only when it served on

2:51

a bar The funny thing about it is that

2:53

it's got this murky and hugely

2:55

disputed history with American families

2:58

rival claims backed by, honestly,

3:00

everything from state legislature's edicts

3:02

to personal affidavits and

3:04

massive festivals that get mounted in different

3:07

cities across the states. Which is all particularly

3:09

funny for a product whose name pays homage

3:11

to the German city of Hamburg.

3:15

I mean, it's probably one of the more contested

3:17

origin stories. But to be fair, who would

3:19

have thought of recording the moment they first ate

3:22

a beef patty inside a bread roll. And

3:24

as you touched on Ollie, how'd you define the first?

3:26

Does it have to be bun? Does it have to be called

3:28

a hamburger? You know, mushed up meat and bread

3:30

are food staples. In many, if not

3:33

most cultures around the

3:34

world.

3:34

Yeah. It's never called that on the menu, there is it.

3:36

That's not very appetite wetting. So

3:39

meat and bread will obviously have been eaten together in

3:42

various ways. You only have to look at our meatball

3:44

episode so that beef patties are everywhere

3:46

in all times. Like you could say that

3:48

the groundwork for hamburger was

3:50

laid when the first human ate the first

3:52

cow. And you know, God knows when

3:54

that was or with the domestication of cattle,

3:57

see Mesopotamia around ten thousand

3:59

years ago, but actually probably at

4:01

least it's more salient to jump ahead

4:03

to kind of the eighteen hundreds

4:06

when beef comes to the US with

4:08

German immigrants.

4:09

Yes. Because what we do know, regardless

4:12

of who in America popularized it,

4:15

The reason that it was in America at

4:17

all was because German immigrants were in America.

4:20

State Hamburg originated in

4:22

Hamburg. And it was

4:24

New York street sellers. Tronicated

4:27

to German sailors, basically, who

4:29

started selling ground up mints. At

4:32

some point in the nineteenth century and created

4:34

the notion of Steak Hamburg as

4:37

a German American dish. And as

4:39

before we get to the hamburger, there's a

4:41

definite link in there from Germany to the states

4:44

that brings us to this point.

4:45

Yeah. The connection between the food and the

4:47

city isn't hundred percent clear, although it's

4:50

possible that it arrived in Germany via Russia

4:52

as a form of steak tartare. And that theory

4:54

is bolstered by the fact that early hamburger makes

4:56

in the US were often served either raw

4:58

or rare and they came with a raw egg on top

5:00

of them like steak tartare. The first reference

5:03

in English to Hamburg Sausage came

5:05

in the mid eighteenth century by the

5:07

mid nineteenth century that had become hamburger steak,

5:09

and both recipes are recognizable to us

5:11

as a basic burger patty with onions

5:13

and various seasonings. This the early

5:16

one still have that weird

5:18

medieval thing where they've put, like, cinnamon and

5:20

clove and stuff in it. But probably the eighteen hundreds,

5:23

we had reached a recognizable modern burger party.

5:25

And by the mid eighteen hundreds, then

5:27

the growth of home grinders was

5:30

attributed as being one of the things that was possible

5:33

for the spread of hamburgers because

5:35

I guess this was the opportunity to take

5:37

Meat home in various different forms

5:39

and then mush it to your own

5:41

liking in your own kitchen.

5:44

But that in conjunction with this

5:46

explosion of readily available beef

5:49

in America is yet another one

5:51

of these sort of origin points.

5:53

Yes. So from eighteen seventy one, you

5:55

could buy Hamburg Beef Steak on

5:57

the breakfast and supper menu of clipper restaurant

6:00

at 311 slash 313 Pacific

6:02

Street in San Fernando, California. If

6:04

you did go and you had ten cents,

6:07

You could buy a burger, but also

6:10

mutton chops, pigs feet in batter,

6:13

steward

6:13

meal. Pigs head, calf

6:15

tongue, and stewed knees. I'll take

6:17

the burger. Yeah. Take the burger. Even

6:19

if everything else on the menu is like one

6:22

pimp. Can

6:24

I take you back to this particular fourth of

6:26

July in eighteen ninety one? You may. I'll give

6:28

you the Blobby version. Yes. And for this,

6:30

we have to thank author Michael Wallace, and a nineteen

6:32

ninety five article he wrote about his research

6:34

into the origins of Burger for Oklahoma State magazine.

6:38

So Oscar Blobby and his

6:40

wife had been living on their ranch outside of Tulsa

6:42

for about seven years when they threw this their first

6:44

fourth of July party. According to their grandson,

6:46

Harold, Oscar himself told

6:48

him that he had hand forged his own iron

6:50

grille, ground his own Angus

6:52

beef patties, grilled them over Greewood, while

6:54

his wife, Fannie, made her secret recipe

6:57

buns. You know, Fannie's buns are an important

6:59

part of this story because as I say, we've already

7:01

got dates that that precede

7:02

this. If you want to see that original grill,

7:05

you actually can because the other thing

7:07

that Oscar Blobby made was his own root beer

7:09

and he didn't have invented it. It was first

7:11

sold fifty years previously, but it was

7:13

common for farmers to make their own repair. He

7:15

was the first to put it between bands grandma

7:19

funny suck it right between her. But

7:24

his repair was what actually took off rather than

7:27

the burgers. And there's still a roadside

7:29

store in Tulsa that sells his repair

7:31

and bow still operated by the Blobby And

7:34

apparently, at this place which is called

7:36

Webbers, they claimed to still

7:38

use that original eighteen ninety one homemade

7:40

but I would take it as grain of salt because they do also claim

7:42

that Frank and Jesse James were early adopters

7:44

of their great grandfather's rebate. Well, Harold

7:47

also says in answer to the question,

7:49

did he definitely invent the burger. There's not

7:51

even a trace of doubt in my mind.

7:53

My grandpa invented the hamburger on

7:55

a bun right here in what became Oklahoma.

7:58

And if anybody wants to say different than

8:00

that improve otherwise. I'm like, you can't

8:02

just put the onus of proof on someone else,

8:04

especially when by definition they would be

8:06

dead. Well, long term. Yeah. We had

8:08

a new country, haven't it? So

8:11

alright. Burger on a bun maybe

8:14

was invented by Oscar Bilbay, but burger

8:16

between two pieces of bread. I mean, a hamburger

8:19

steak between two pieces of bread, therefore,

8:21

a burger. There is quite a well established

8:23

claim on that from eighteen eighty five. So

8:26

six years ahead of this, which is fifteen

8:28

year old as he was then, Charlie May Green of

8:30

Seymour, Wisconsin, who was

8:32

selling meatballs at the outer gaming county

8:35

fair, and people

8:37

were burning their hands don't

8:39

know why. I mean, I know he was fifteen, and

8:41

I know this was eighteen eighty five, and this was all new. But

8:44

seriously, it's coming off a grill guys.

8:48

I've got everything I've got my luck of the meat.

8:51

You are. Oh, yeah. Didn't think to

8:53

have some kind of mechanic that people could walk

8:55

around the ferry eating it

8:56

on, so people were burning their hands and saying,

8:58

I don't want your meatball or hurting me.

9:00

And then he went to, in the absence

9:02

of a grand Marfani on-site, went

9:04

to the Bakery Store cross the

9:06

way, who are also at the state. Also, some bluttering

9:09

because they had nothing inside their bread, nothing. So

9:13

got the perfect combination here, guys. I've got the

9:15

filling. You've got the bread. And he

9:17

called this thing the hamburger. He

9:20

was the first to call it a hamburger. He

9:22

became known as hamburger Charlie. He returned

9:24

to sell hamburgers at the fair every year until

9:26

his death in nineteen fifty one. He

9:29

would apparently entertain the crowds with a

9:31

guitar at Mount Morgan and his jingle,

9:33

hamburgers, hamburgers, hot,

9:36

onions in the middle, pickle on top,

9:38

makes your lips go flippity flop, and

9:40

not your hands because you've

9:43

got the real uncertainty on there.

9:46

The other main claimant to the title of

9:48

inventor of the Hamburger is a guy called Fletcher

9:50

Dave as he was nicknamed Uncle Dave. He

9:52

sold hamburger sandwiches again between

9:54

two pieces of bread at the nineteen o four

9:57

World Fair in Saint

9:58

Louis,

9:58

which, by the way, always was there. That's

10:00

also credited with introducing ice

10:02

cream cones, hot dogs in bun, and candy

10:04

floss to the mainstream, but he claimed

10:06

he'd been selling them in his hometown of Athens, Texas

10:08

since the eighteen eighty and this

10:10

prompted Oklahoma governor Frank

10:13

Keating to get involved. On the twelfth

10:15

of April nineteen ninety five, he made an official

10:17

proclamation declaring toll sir, the real

10:19

birthplace of the hamburger. And the proclamation opens,

10:22

whereas the scurrilers rumors have credited

10:24

Athens Texas as the birthplace of the hamburger.

10:27

It's like it's just such a grandeur. It's

10:29

so great. He goes on to address

10:31

this very issue that we have been discussing as

10:33

well. He says, although someone in Athens

10:35

in the eighteen sixties may have placed cooked

10:37

around beef between two slices of bread, this

10:40

minor accomplishment can in no way be regarded

10:42

equal to what comes on a bun accompanied

10:44

by such delight as pickles, onions, lettuce,

10:47

tomato, cheese and in some cases

10:49

special sauce. And

10:51

there was a counter proclamation by

10:54

Wisconsin whose legislature

10:57

declared that Seymour, Wisconsin was

10:59

the home of hamburger, and that's why it's right to

11:01

hold all the festivals celebrations in

11:03

their town. I mean, the thing that

11:05

I find most interesting and sort of ironic

11:07

about all of this is, as we've said, what is

11:10

sort of beyond doubt is that the origins of

11:12

it were in hamburg, Germany. But

11:14

it had become such an American thing, the hamburger,

11:16

that by World War two, troops,

11:18

in the states and from the states,

11:21

were given hamburgers on army bases, etcetera,

11:24

as their sustenance because it

11:26

was all American food that they all enjoyed.

11:28

Well, they were given hamburgers, but

11:30

probably not the name they're being served under.

11:32

They were one of the many German food items

11:34

that underwent a rebranding during world

11:36

or team. They have heard of our crowd being

11:38

renamed liberty cabbage were much in the same

11:40

vein. Hamburgers were renamed liberty

11:42

stakes. Which is hilarious, isn't it? And and

11:45

like a predecessor of what happened in our lifetime,

11:47

which was that short lived attempt to call French

11:49

fries, freedom fries when France wouldn't invade

11:51

Iraq. I mean, you had

11:53

the option to call them beef burgers

11:55

right there. It's

11:58

always find it super confusing that

12:00

like a hamburger is not made of

12:02

hamburger. A hamburger? A hamburger. Yes. Why not just clear

12:04

that up from a hot. It's

12:11

October twenty fourth nineteen

12:14

ninety two, and another remarkable

12:16

event is about to be uncovered by

12:19

Aria, Rebekah, and Ali.

12:22

The Retrospectors'. A

12:25

lot of alcohol and five minutes doodling

12:28

is how TV producer Michael LEGO

12:30

describes the day he created one of British

12:32

TV's most beloved characters who

12:35

made his BBC one debut today in

12:37

history in nineteen ninety two. The

12:39

Google eyed yellow and pink,

12:41

perma grilling foam bodied suit of

12:43

chaos known as Blobby.

12:47

And I think he has now remembered best

12:50

as the free floating agent of chaos, but he

12:52

was created for a specific purpose,

12:54

which was for a segment on Noel's house party,

12:56

which is the leading entertainment program

12:58

of the time that had several regular features

13:00

that usually involved viewers or celebrities,

13:02

taking buying challenges, or being the victims

13:05

good natured pranks. And one of these was a

13:07

celeb pranking segment called Gotcha, which

13:09

involved Noel Edmunds in various disguises.

13:12

Upsetting celebrities. He didn't realize that they

13:14

were being filmed, etcetera. And so what

13:16

had happened was that Michael LEGO, the aforementioned

13:18

creator of Blobby, had realized that

13:20

Noel couldn't just keep turning up places

13:23

because the celebrities would inevitably become

13:25

very suspicious. So they would create a costume

13:27

for him and they sketched out this horrifying. We

13:29

can't even describe it. If you don't, if you've never seen Blobby,

13:32

just look him up. We can't just best to him.

13:34

And so then they set Blobby loose, pranking celebrities.

13:37

And he was almost a weak him of his

13:39

own success because the idea was

13:41

that the celebrities wouldn't know that

13:43

they weren't encountering a character on

13:46

a new kids TV show, to

13:48

whom they were meant to explain what

13:50

their line of work was and

13:52

then what made it funny.

13:54

I'd never watched it. You guys lived through this.

13:56

But apparently, what made it funny was that

13:58

mister Blobby would then go about kind of

14:01

trashing the segment and falling over and

14:03

generally smashing up the stage and so

14:05

on, and that was quite funny because it was

14:07

particularly designed to needle

14:09

the celebrities in question. But

14:12

as soon as it started airing, then obviously,

14:15

the surprise couldn't be mounted on new celebrities

14:17

because they would have seen mister Blobby go out on

14:19

Britain's most popular TV

14:20

show, so they would have known what to expect. Yes.

14:23

So the expected run of mister Blobby

14:25

was for this series of eight

14:27

gotchas they called them, which is when they did

14:29

this stings on celebrities and humiliated them

14:32

by getting them involved in nefarious projects, and

14:34

then the Mask comes off and ho, it's no edmunds

14:36

under there. Except it wasn't. We'll get onto that.

14:39

But the popularity of the character

14:41

with the British public was so instant

14:43

and so immense. That mister

14:45

Blobby ended up being a regular fixture on

14:48

Nell's house party and then his I I

14:50

was I was about to say tentacles, and

14:52

then I nearly corrected myself because he doesn't

14:54

have tentacles, but he kind of done. Like, it fits you

14:56

see a Blobby tentacle country pinking yellow totally.

14:58

So I'm gonna say anyway, his tentacles then

15:00

sort of went into areas of British

15:02

life. Hitherto untouched by

15:05

Saturday evening mascots.

15:08

But if you watch the original

15:11

series of and in fact, I've just sat

15:13

through the first one, which was a sting on

15:15

Wayne Sleep, the ballet dancer

15:17

and and choreographer. And

15:20

it's really funny. It is the chaos

15:22

and it is the destruction. But it's

15:24

also because it's a parody of children's

15:26

television. Which wouldn't

15:28

be very clever if it was a late night sketch show.

15:31

But this was going out on what was effectively children's

15:33

television, so it's inviting the audience to laugh

15:35

at itself. It's actually quite a layered

15:37

joke that's going on. You're laughing at the celebrity

15:40

for being humiliated for thinking it's genuine. You're

15:42

laughing at the cleverness of how they

15:44

parried children's television, and

15:46

you're laughing at the absolute clowning and disruption

15:49

of this varticle beast going around destroying

15:51

everything. And also at the time when these

15:53

gotcha segments were going out, our access

15:55

as viewers to celebrities was a lot more

15:57

managed than it is now with social media. So seeing

15:59

celebs get pranked was much funnier

16:02

in the nineties than it is now for some reason. You

16:04

you didn't see celebrities off, so watching

16:06

them get flustered and frustrated is

16:08

Blobby casually wreaked havoc around them. More

16:10

than irresistible sites and millions of people.

16:13

I watched all of them many times because I was the

16:15

proud owner of the Blobby VA

16:17

HSS

16:17

tape. It it became the BBC's

16:20

biggest selling tape at the time. It's

16:22

one of the proud owners then. Oh, yeah.

16:24

One of many. It was it combined the

16:26

gachic lips with new material totaling seventy

16:28

one glorious minutes of Blobby action. Do

16:30

you know, I can understand how

16:33

it could work? It's like in my

16:35

imagination of it, it's like a proto kind

16:37

of Sasha, Barranco, and Ali

16:39

g set up. Where you've got this person

16:41

who is pretending to have it a

16:43

naivety about them. But

16:46

they're exposing things about their

16:48

interviewee or subject by

16:50

virtue of their chaos that they're

16:52

creating. Although, in the case of LPG, it

16:54

was weird rather than physical comedy.

16:57

But think about how Sasha Baron Cohen actually

16:59

has blurred those lines after you know, with True.

17:01

-- sort of jumping on top of each other and waving his

17:03

bum in their face. Yeah. That's mister Blobby. That

17:05

is exactly that. Like, you put them in a situation

17:08

where they're in a room with mister and then he jumps on top

17:10

of them. Yeah. And also it's exactly

17:12

the same thing of that tension of someone someone who's

17:14

used to being on camera knowing that they're on camera

17:16

even though they think because the setup is that

17:18

they're making an episode or it's a pilot

17:20

and it's not being broadcast right now. They're

17:22

aware there's cameras on them, so they're controlling

17:25

their image. Whilst this enormous

17:27

pink thing is rolling around on top of their

17:29

face. It also also so

17:32

I can get why it works at that stage, but it

17:34

also does seem like

17:37

there's a very obvious reason

17:39

why this backlash emerged so

17:41

quickly, which is that Bluffy has

17:44

the boy that's yet. Because because

17:46

Bluffy has no purpose

17:49

to serve know, once a day.

17:56

You make a good fight. But

17:59

wait, wait, wait, don't do let's not do

18:01

the fall Blobby. Let's do the

18:04

rising the

18:08

It's I think we could probably agree that

18:10

the peak came when he had the Christmas

18:12

number one single with nineteen ninety

18:14

three, his self titled debut

18:17

single, top a chart, albeit in a pretty

18:19

app field. Number two was

18:20

babe, I take that. So it's not like there was some great

18:22

christmasy contender. There's

18:25

I think a couple of things behind the success

18:27

of Blobby in this period. And

18:30

one is the

18:32

anti establishment sentiment

18:35

that's being expressed buying the Blobby

18:38

tape and sending it to number one at Christmas and stopping

18:40

tape that get to number one. The British public

18:42

knew it was rubbish because that was the joke. The

18:44

joke was his parody of bad children's television There

18:47

is just this thing in the British psyche of.

18:49

You know that this is someone who literally smashes

18:52

things up and that's funny to make it a pinnacle.

18:54

All. So there's that going on. But then

18:56

think the other thing that's going on, I really wouldn't undermine

18:59

this, is the incredible comic performance

19:01

of Barry Blobby, who is the man inside the

19:03

suit. Mhmm. I said earlier that it's

19:05

not Noel inside the suit. It obviously was when

19:07

he sprang the celebrities and took the hat off,

19:09

but that was literally for the gotcha shot.

19:12

It wasn't all Edmunds doing the clowning around.

19:14

It was a Shakespearean actor called Barry

19:16

Blobby. Who was method?

19:18

I mean, I've spoken to people who worked with Blobby, and

19:20

when you were working with Blobby, you have to speak

19:23

to him as Blobby, not as Barry. Barry.

19:25

Exactly. And he's he took you

19:27

very seriously and ever since has never done an interview

19:29

about like he's had enough of it now, he doesn't play Blobby

19:31

anymore. It's played by man called Paul Benson

19:33

these days. But the point is, Barry

19:36

Blobby physical performance some

19:38

of the classic moments from Old House Party. Have

19:40

a look on YouTube at mister

19:42

Blobby not coming to New York, which was the

19:44

motor care they Blobby, that he wasn't

19:46

gonna come on the trip with the show to New York City.

19:49

And he does the entire routine

19:51

of a basically two year old's temper

19:53

tantrum going up and down the stairs of managing

19:56

critically bottom. And it is no

19:58

perfect clowning. Despite the fact

20:00

he's wearing a seven foot foam costume, it's

20:02

in credible. That's just And I think people did

20:04

recognize that this was one of the great comedy

20:06

performances of the nineties genuinely really

20:09

funny because they because it also that's something about watching

20:11

Noel's house party. Is you're watching

20:13

at home, but there's like an audience of six hundred

20:15

people that was a huge studio show,

20:17

and it thrived off the reaction of the audience.

20:19

In real time. Right. And again, that performance.

20:22

You could you could feel the the audiences still

20:25

when Blobby makes cameo appearance.

20:27

As he has done on sort of channel four panel

20:29

shows and loose women and stuff like that. You can

20:32

hear a live audience

20:34

scream with laughter when he enters the room.

20:36

I mean, I have to say watching TV as

20:38

a child in the nineties was there was

20:40

always a vague dread that mister blockbuster

20:43

had randomly turned up on the show you were

20:44

watching. You were never fully safe

20:47

from a Blobby cameo. Yeah. think there

20:49

was a point at which his success was

20:52

so mainstreamed There was

20:54

no irony to it anymore. was just the slapstick,

20:56

and it faded somewhat. I know that seems ridiculous. We

20:58

took a bet show with sixty million viewers, but I think people didn't

21:01

think they ran on a joke with Blobby. And then

21:03

he became too big for his own pink

21:05

and yellow boob. But I feel like

21:07

the wave of nineties nostalgia that we've had for

21:09

the last years past Blobby has

21:11

a place. Yeah. In our hearts and will continue,

21:13

and I would not be surprised given

21:15

the YouTube ability of what he does, if

21:18

is still with us in twenty years time. Well,

21:20

maybe that too big for his boots, Nus

21:22

is what contributed to the scandal.

21:24

That unfolded in nineteen ninety

21:26

four, including just one moment. Tell me when he's down,

21:29

but I'm sorry. I'm not

21:31

liking this anti Blobby ass. Them here. Okay.

21:33

Well, no, gives you the opportunity to defend you with

21:35

anything like you. So all

21:37

he wants to do is bring joy to be I

21:39

tell you a thing that he did to Heidi O'Kelahan

21:42

at her sixth birthday party at

21:44

Caesar's Palace in How dark is this gonna

21:46

go? Not too dark. He

21:49

he Blobby,

21:53

It's all come to light recently. He

21:55

threw her cake on the floor and had a massive

21:58

fight with her dad. Which is

22:01

Blobby out of control. He's

22:03

not he's not going fun times at this stage.

22:06

If you ask mister Blobby to

22:08

come here at your six year old daughter's birthday

22:10

party. She's gonna have birth cake

22:12

run of The act is dropping the cake. That's

22:14

what mister does. No. Why

22:16

would she like mister Blobby if he wasn't gonna come and

22:18

drop the game? That's all he does. Come

22:20

together. Blobby, Blobby and muck shit over.
