Can I say that?

I can swear, right? - Mm-hm.

(upbeat music)

- Hello, I'm Hillary Anne Matthews.

And today we're going to talk

about Sadie Farrell, AKA Sadie the Goat.

So the year is 1860-ish.

We're in Manhattan, in the Lower East Side,

which is a grizzly locale.

So Sadie pitched a male accomplice, and she was like,

hey dude, what if a guy comes out of a bar,

and I will run up to him,

and just headbutt him in the stomach and disorient him?

And he was like, cool, I will take a slingshot,

and from a distance, knock him out.

And that's how she earned the nickname Sadie the Goat.

Because newsflash, goats headbutt things.

And Sadie is just running at them

and headbutting them in the stomach

Sling shot!

And they made a lot of money, like a decent living.

Like it was like an honorable living.

You know, it wasn't

like a super fancy, really intense-

- Wait, it wasn't fancy- - It wasn't fancy.

- The way they were living, of headbutting people?

- So additionally, simultaneously there was a bar

called the Hole in the Wall,

and there was a bouncer, her name was Gallus Mag.

And Gallus Mag was six feet tall.

And additionally, she was a badass bitch

for real, and for truly.

One day, our girl Sadie the Goat

comes into the Hole in the Wall bar.

And she like encounters Gallus Mag.

And here's the thing about Gallus Mag, she was British.

Here's the thing about Sadie the Goat, she was Irish.

Here's the thing about that time period,

white on white racism.

So Sadie the Goat, who was like a very mouthy individual,

was like, the thing about British people,

they are like always like, oh, Big Ben,

it's like a big clock.

And Gallus Mag was like,

please dial back what you're saying.

And Sadie the Goat was just like,

well additionally, beans on toast.

Gallus mag was like, you're being too crazy.

So she took Sadie the Goat

by the ear and she dragged her to the door.

Sadie the Goat was like (screams).

(laughs)

So Gallus Mag chomps off her Mo effing ear.

And she puts it into a jar of alcohol.

And it was like such a great trophy that she labels it.

Sadie the ears, nope, Sadie the Goat's ear.

And she put it on her trophy case.

At this point, Sadie the Goat is very embarrassed.

And she then witnesses this gang

called the Charlton street gang.

And they're trying to commandeer a small ship,

but they're doing a very, very bad job.

So she's like, you guys, you're doing not a good job.

And because of me, I can make you do a very good job.

And if you wanna work together,

we can be more successful.

And they're like, okay, listen,

Sadie the Goat, if that is your real name, we're onboard.

So they start cruising up and down the Hudson.

And they are just like stealing things

and pillaging small towns.

And she was like, (laughs)

obviously we need to start kidnapping people hardcore.

So she's kidnapping people.

And she's like, I don't care if your loved ones

love you enough to pay your ransom.

Like, I'm gonna make you walk the plank right now.

And he is like, no, I'm so sorry I back-talked you.

And she was like, I am Sadie the Goat!

And then she like trots him off the plank,

and he splashes into river, like (imitates splashing).

(Derek laughs)

So they get the police involved.

And they lie and wait, and they're like,

okay, we're gonna get Sadie the Goat.

And when Sadie and the gang members disembarked,

they ambushed them.

And they really did some damage,

'cause they were shooting a lot of guns.

And so Sadie and her gentlemen suffered

enough casualties that at the end of it,

Sadie was like, yo we gotta pack it in.

So Sadie the Goat returned to the fourth ward.

and she went to go visit Gallus Mag.

And she was like, hi, listen.

I know I was like super crazy.

And like, I'm so sorry for that, it was my bad.

And Gallus Mag is like, I have something for you.

And Sadie's like, what could it be?

And Gallus Mag presents her with Sadie's ear.

And she was like, regardless of whatever

is between our legs, we are really down to clown.

And like we are like really down

to like really tear shit up.

And like I will headbutt you in the stomach.

And I will chomp your ear off,

and like thank you for being a friend.

That's how we got the "Golden Girls"

soundtrack song, Derek Waters.

♪ Thank you for being a friend ♪

♪ If you threw a party ♪

- Keep going. - I don't know.

- [Hillary] Yeah, neither do me.

- Hello, today we're gonna talk about

Kentucky Daisy and the great Oklahoma land runs. (laughs)

Oh no, I can't.

So late 1870s, Kentucky Daisy is a journalist

writing all just the fluff, garbage, women pieces.

They're like, here's an assignment.

Why don't you go write about making corn pie

or a pudding article or whatever, okay?

She's like, I need a little bit more meaty (bleep).

Can I say that?

I can swear, right? - Mm-hmm.

- So the government has this land,

it's like two million acres,

I mean, taken from the poor Native Americans.

And they're like, what if we give it to some crazy pioneers,

let them kind of cultivate it for us,

make some cities it's cetera?

Let's give the white people a chance.

So awful, we took two million acres.

- Wow.

- It's very sad.

But anyways, God bless America. (laughs)

So she hears about this huge land run.

April 22nd, noon, land run,

160 acres for free to white people.

So she is like, hey journalist boss,

what if I went to this land run

and I talked about what girls

are wearing, in terms of petticoats?

But in her head she's like,

I'm gonna get a piece of this land for me.

So she gets there,

there are 50,000 people lining the border.

Cannon goes off at noon, boom.

Everybody's acting buck wild.

Everybody's buck.

They'll trample other people,

take kids down, they don't care.

So there's also a train that goes into the lands as well.

And it's filled with journalists.

Kentucky Daisy's on the train.

She's trying to keep it cool.

But then it goes up this incline so it slows down.

Kentucky Daisy's like (bleep) this (bleep).

She jumps off of a moving train,

over a ditch, gets to the plot of land that she wants

pulls a stake out, pop, claims the land shoots a gun off,

because whatever, that's who she is.

Thus I salute the, what?

- What?

- Kentucky Daisy Claim,

thus I salute the Kentucky Daisy Claim.

She gets the land, and so on her little piece of property

she builds a house and whatever.

But she starts to kinda get that hunger again.

She's like, I'm gonna go to this next land run.

I'm gonna ride a horse in, like a badass bitch.

Boom, cannon goes off, and she does,

she rides a horse in, she's super cool.

Then the horse acts like a (bleep) asshole,

throws her, tromps her face with its little horse hooves.

- [Derek] She what?

- Tromped her face.

What do they do, trample?

Tramp, the horse tramped her face, right?

- Yeah.

- Who cares?

She lost it.

So she's out, she's unconscious.

She wakes up, she's like, where am I?

Who cares where I am?

It's land, I'm gonna claim it.

I don't give a (bleep) shadoink, this is my land.

People next door are like,

you just got hit in the (bleep) face, you're cray.

Now she's got two plots of land.

That's it, that's it, that's the cap.

So Kentucky Daisy brought 11 women.

She's like girls, we're gonna go into these new lands.

We're gonna give you some property for yourselves.

Like have at it, this is for us, this is lady land.

Let's put up some houses,

establish some lady property,

put a hot tub up, do whatever you want.

These bitches are (bleep) rifled up.

They're called Daisy's Amazons by the New York Times.

So they go in there.

Here's the crazy part, you're supposed to go in at noon.

That's the time.

But they go in days early, which is illegal.

That's like a thing.

Those people were called Sooners.

And they hide in a ditch.

So their whole thing is like, hey, by the way,

if like a (bleep) dude runs up on you tonight,

shoot him in the throat.

Sounds like a blast, but okay.

Kentucky Daisy gets it in her head

that she's like, you know what I need?

Snacks, supplies, food, whatever it was.

I'll volunteer to get the Fritos.

They're like cool, she goes out.

And the guys in charge of land run are like,

no, not cool, we're gonna capture you.

You can't get the land.

Sorry, you can't go get your Fritos.

She diverted the attention that might've been

on these 11 ladies that were hiding in the ditch,

and they ended up being landowners.

Gonna throw up.

I'm not.

People underestimate the power of wine.

Wine has a very high (bleep) up quotient.

- I agree.

- This is two bottles. (laughs)

So anyways, in 1893, it's the biggest land run ever.

She gets 36 single broads.

She's like, (bleep) those stereotypes.

These are my hoes.

This is the best, and that's what she said.

She's like, (bleep) blow into these territories,

and make a bunch of women in charge of these lands.

That's everybody's nightmare, (bleep) yes.

36 single women claim the land,

set up houses and schools, and they built it themselves.

How dare they?

And that land became Oklahoma, like the Sooner State.

She's kind of the mother of Oklahoma.

You know, it's not all about pioneers,

not all about families.

You can be a (bleep) single lady,

making it on your own, you know?

Bitches be doing it for themselves.

Take it easy.

- We love you.

- We love you.

- Hello, I'm Kirby Howell-Baptiste,

and today we'll be discussing Suffrajitsu.

- Cheers.

- Cheers, this is gonna be some good shit.

Buckle up baby.

So our story starts in England.
