Intro
On this week’s episode, Erica divulges the origins of the term “guy” and Mookie recounts the unfortunate assassination of Mr. P.
Hey, guy!
Thanks to Guy Fawkes’ failed plot to assassinate the king of England, we have something to call people other than “man”, “lady”, “you”, “chick”, “dude”, or, you know, calling someone by their name. After Guy got caught red-handed, his infamy lead to his name being synonymous with pretty much anyone!
Mr. P got Popped!
Who knew peacocks had enemies! Neighborhood peacock Mr. P earned himself an enemy who hated him so much, it ended with a craigslist request for a hitman and a murder!
