This is honestly some of the best comedy woven in that I've heard in years. Reminds me of something you'd hear in S1-7 of the Simpsons, or like something Matt or Trey would write, a lot of lines reminded me of Baseketball quotes lol. They shoulda fired those writers on strike, and hired you smh
The name Greengoes. I know that may not be spelt right. But the story I heard of how that name came about.Is that the U.S. Calvary used to sing a song that was popular in the U.S. at the time they were coming in contact with more and more people from Mexico. The song was titled Green Grows The Lilacs a.very popular song that became something the calvary sang to fight boredom on their long trips across the land. So these people would hear this song long before they saw the soldiers. They would hear it as they rode by. They began calling whites Greengoes as they had problems with English words much the same many Americans had problems with Spanish words. Either that or over the years it was bastardized much the same as many Spanish words were.
@@WildWestExtravaganza you have a good voice, I'll listen to this tonight and will fall asleep to it and listen to the rest in the morning...I appreciate your work, ty
Happily, I recorded an interview with my grandfather, including his youth running moonshine and his time in the Navy during WWII - you are 1000% correct about the need to preserve these oldtimers' stories!
Absolutely. I was thinking about starting a youtube channel where I interview elderly folks in nursing homes and retirement communities or just wherever I can do it. I think that would be fantastic.
Dear Josh, I am an old man living in the deserts of Arizona today. I listen to your stories of the old west for entertainment and educational purposes and I enjoy them very much, thank you. I don’t know if you remember me but we have spoken a couple of times howdy do. My name is Don and your tale about Big Nose George reminded me of the time as a child when I crossed paths with a bag, a lampshade and 1 shoe. I was born in Cheyenne in 1959 and I watched the world switch from the old to the new. My old man was a wanderlust and we were always packing up the Dodge to chase the latest star. It was the spring of 1965 and we were going to California on some wild scheme, it matters not for the story here. We stopped in Rock Springs for gas and food and ware. I was all about the journey and I wanted to absorb all the sights and everything to see. I went to the lobby and looked in a glass case to see and discover what it was within. A Doctors case, a lampshade and 1 shoe. At 6 years old I was shocked and amazed to learn that these parts of simple ware were indeed a man named George I just wanted to answer your question of the nipple. It was on the top of the ankle on the right footed shoe. I wanted to write more…..I just got out of the hospital and I am tired Thank you, Don
I can't get enough of this channel. I thought about doing a more academic TH-cam channel and thought about the wild west as the subject. I saw this channel and said this is perfection.
Definitely worth mentioning the work it takes to dig up all the history as well as composing and narrating. And the delivery ain’t bad either. Appreciate your efforts my friend.
I really love the Wild West Extravaganza. The stories you tell are super interesting. The way you tell them is also entertaining. Your funny play-on-words and your quirky jokes make me 😂. You have become my favorite TH-cam story teller! Great work thank you. I live in San Antonio, I would love to hear about the cowboys and gunslingers of this area...if you choose of course 😊😊😊
Funny- I became a nurse bc I had always genuinely enjoyed listening/ hearing my elders talk about "back in their time". American History is my absolute favorite subject in history but mostly all of history in general has always fascinated me. 😊
Great stories Josh! I used to work in the bank that was being built when they found the bones. There’s an old telegraph pole planted on the central west lawn of the Carbon County courthouse to this day. The locals claim it is the original pole he was hanged from and that it was moved from Front Street to the Courthouse to memorialize the event. I met a grandson of one of the vigilantes. He said Parrot did get his hands free and clung to the rope as long as he could. Gruesome! Also, pretty sure that the shoes weren’t in the barrel. They were in the bank president’s office until the 1970’s when they were given to the county museum.
I recently discovered your channel and I must say that I very much appreciate the detail of your work. It's all to common to stumble across so-called history channels that have inaccurate or false content with little or no research, especially when it comes to wild west content. I love your videos and you've earned my subscription. Keep on keep'n on!
I LOVED this !! The story of Big Alice and Etta the Grasshopper was entertaining, Hilarious and well presented. Wish I had a History Prof. like this gentleman story teller. Thank you!❤
Ever since I've seen Deadwood for the 3rd time and stumbling upon this channel for a new background on Al Swearengen, I've been hooked on your content. Keep 'em coming Josh!
I absolutely love these tales from the wild old days and I have to say, I’ve never heard them done better. The way they’ve been written and narrated makes them all the more compelling and enjoyable . Thank for all the work you’ve put in to these. Brilliant stuff 🤠😎👍 yee ha!
I put this on because I woke up in the middle of the night and wanted something to fall asleep to. Instead, this kept me wide awake. I was laughing and thoroughly entertained, but wide awake. Just earned yourself a new subscriber 😅😅
As a Chilean, boy do i have some stories to tell from my family lineage. The shenanigans that the Gauchos (Chilean Cowboys) were up to from our recorded history is quite interesting. Thats what got me into american westerns. Your channel and history at the ok coral are my go to for american western history, great work !!
👍 my husband and I listen to all the stories you have available I enjoy your voice and the writing of your stories and trust you enough to quote your expertise. Thanks alot🎉
I truly appreciate you and the work u put in. This has probably become my favorite thing to listen to/watch. Comforting and inspirational. Once I write my famous WW movie. I promise you gonna have coffee for life
Tell ya what: having a bummer of a day, in a bad mood, wanna kick the boss man right square in the nuts? Put on a little yodeling cowboy music in the background, quiet like, getcha some WWExtravaganza in the foreground, and Yaaah! Booom! all's right with the world again. Best dang channel out there, friend. Keep it goin'!

I’ve said it before but it bears repeating. I love your color commentary. The stories are fascinating. The research is appreciated. The preparation is great. But the Easter eggs sprinkled throughout the episode and in the outro set your episodes apart. EVEN IF I’ve heard the episode before. Seconds into this one and I snort laugh at “yes…NIPPLES” while waiting on my appointment in a cardiologist’s office.
@@WildWestExtravaganza Thank you sir. It went better than I expected. EKG a couple weeks ago indicated that I had a heart attack at some point.
