I'm shaking my ta tas for you. Mine aren't really going anywhere. No, not really. Well, shake them. Give me a good little shake shake. That's a lot for me right now. Move, move those shoulders, girlfriend. Let those puppies breathe. They're not. It's slow mo for me. It ain't. The jiggles aren't jiggling. Everything else but the boobs are jiggling, quite frankly. Honestly, watching you sit in the podcast room makes me feel, some things. I'm sad. I'm a little sad. It's so, it's so quiet. It's so cozy, though. Quiet. Peaceful. Is it? Good energy. Good vibes. Good juju. Are you thinking happy thoughts? I was expecting to find some sort of something in here, and then finally I see it. Please stop manifesting animals to my apartment. Could you please? Have we not? Have we not suffered enough? I never said I was manifesting anything. I just, I'm stating facts. I'm a realist. Every time I see you though, you're like, there were no birds. Like, there, there shouldn't be. There shouldn't be. When there's smoke, there's fire, Bridget. We have had too many instances where that's just not, it's not out of the picture at this point. It's not out of the box. It's not crazy. Yeah, that's true. Should this happen? Did you bring in my mail, at least? yes, I did. Oh, wow. Thank you so much. Yeah. Anything good? Because I feel like you would open my mail. Did you open my mail? No, of course I didn't fucking open your mail. Isn't that illegal? Yes. Yes. Yes. You should tell my Muppet Vat. Okay. She gives me my mail sometimes and it's just like ripped open and I'm like, Oh, thanks. Thanks. Or she'll like blame it on, Oh, did I tell you? She sent me a picture the other day. She goes, You need a new one. And I said, A new what? And she sent me a picture of my, uh, what was my W2. That was chewed via dog. So, I no longer have a W 2, like, which is fine, you know, we're still coming back from our tax issue last year. No need to file this year. There's no need. I don't think. I think I'm okay. Did you make sure that this year you're all set and that you do not run into that problem again? So you see, I definitely will be all set, but I will not get money back. I be Owen. I still be Owen, guys. I never, if you would've told me that I would one day be on a payment plan with the IRS, I'd be like, what's the IRS? Hey, you know what? Life comes at you fast. Will you at least break even? No. Fuck no. Colleen, what in the world? Do you think I'm made of money? This 401k seems to be taking out a lot. Whatever that is. No, I'm just kidding. Like, I was gonna say, please, for the love of God. Of course I do. Of course I know. I'm just, I'm just dickin Dickin around. You know me. I be dickin I feel like you wear that shirt every time we record and it's just like, religious. Oh, my Schitt's Creek shirt? Yeah. To be honest, it's like, I brought only four t shirts, you know, you gotta start recycling real quick. You gotta do what you gotta do. I'm, you know, I'd be wearing the same clothes. Why'd you just turn your camera off? Are you ugly? yes, and also, I can hear a leg, so every time I hear the leg, I just shut the camera off so we don't have any issues. Good, because the Leo in me really wants to just look at myself. Well, now you have the opportunity to just stare at your own beautiful face this whole time. I'd be looking like roly poly today, but that's all right. Why? That's all right. I don't know. She's just, she's a bald eagle. Oh. She's cute. She's got bags. She's got bags. From what? I don't know. Like, it's just, it's a lot, you know? Life. What? Hold on. Hold on. We haven't even done our intro yet. Hey, everybody. That's where you say hi. Oh, I usually say hi? Yeah. Oh, hey. Hey, girl, hey. Welcome to this week's episode of Sippin with the Shannons. We're cousins, and each week we sit down, we sip on some wine, we talk some shit, we have a good giggle. I'm Bridget Shannon. And I'm Colleen Shannon. Hi. Hey. Hey, girl, hey. What is too much? What do you mean life is too much? Aren't you staying in and not spending money right now? no, but like, I, you know, we've got events, we have a social calendar, you know. I'm poor. I be working on the weekends and I'm still poor. I gotta get a third job, by the way, meant to tell you that. if anyone has any suggestions, how to make some money in these streets, legally or not, that's fine too. I'm being dead serious. You don't have time for a third job, honey. I will. I gotta make it. I gotta wait just a week, I think. I'm being serious. Oh boy. All right, well, we'll discuss that at a later date, I guess. We'll circle back to that. Well, what do you got for me? Well, wait, how was Erin's birthday? What did you guys do? Oh, it was good. We just did a girlie's brunch and then we just day drank and just fucked around. Fucked around and found out. Honestly, that sounds delightful. It was delightful. HPD, RN 27, a year closer to death. it was great. Another year closer. Oh, Lord, how dramatic. No, I left Argentina. It was quite sad to leave. I had to say goodbye to all my new friends. And We just had a banger. Like, we just went out the way that we went out, which was drinking too much and staying up till 5 a. m. in the morning. Also, I've been saying empanada wrong. It's not, I keep saying empanada, like a pinata. It's empanada. Correct. There's no roly poly oly over the end. It's just empanada. Empanada. Uh, I'm gonna miss. The provoleta, which is cheese, and they take a cast iron skillet almost, like a, uh, a heavy bottom pan, and they put it in the broiler until the top is nice and crispy brown and ooey and gooey, and it's seasoned to perfection, and I just want it covering my whole body at all times. You would love it. You had me aroused at cheese before you got to the rest of the part, so. Uh, yeah, no, and like the wine and just the city itself was so much fun and it was so cheap. Colleen, the most expensive Uber I took, 35 minutes. We were in an Uber for 35 minutes. How much do you think it would cost me in Boston to do that? At least 60. Six US dollars. That's insane. Most of my cabs were anywhere between two to three dollars. 10 to 15 minute cabs, two to three bucks. That's crazy. I'm gonna start, you know, I'm gonna get a scooter. Yeah, you should get a scooter. You'd be scoot scootin around the city of Boston. That would be cute. Picture me in a helmet. No, I couldn't. You know, the helmet hair. I was gonna say, what would you do with your hair? How am I gonna catch a man with helmet hair on my scooter? The horror! but yeah, I, I, you would be so proud the entire group by the end of the month was saying two things. I love that journey for you in, in pussy pop. Yeah. Yeah. Like married men. In their 50s and 60s. We're like, Bridget, is this a pussy pop? And I was like, yes, it is. It is indeed classified as a pussy pop. Yeah, so we really spread the seed of shipping with the Shannons while abroad. I'm just like, Hey, do you have a minute to hear about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, aka pussy pop? Titties on the table. Pussies have been popped internationally. all over the world. no, but I was sad. I was sad to leave. Now I'm in Brazil. I'm in a place they call Florianopolis. It is the magic island is what it's called. There are a bunch of islands around it. There are mountains, there are beaches. It's really, really beautiful. It's very, very hot, like humid, sweating from every pore. Met the new group. New group is really nice. Just don't know them well enough yet, but. The other day someone was like, well, we're not friends yet. And I was like, but we will be. You just wait. I can't imagine saying like, we're not friends, like, no, we're friends. We don't know each other yet. She was just saying like, oh, we don't know each other yet. And I was like, oh, but, but we will be best friends. And don't you dare try otherwise, whether you like it or not. I'm refusing nothing else. Yeah, so yeah, new friends. Carnival is this weekend. I went shopping today for Carnival because, plot twist, I didn't bring any sequins because I didn't know I would be here until about, uh, I don't know, ten days ago? Look at what I bought. Ready? Oh, she's showing me some feathery, if, no, you know what that's giving? Like, uh, if Flapper meets Pride Week. Oh, that's such a good example. That was really good. Thank you. I got a sparkly fanny pack. Cute. It's like giving if like, people liked the gays in the 20s and accepted them, you know? Like, that's what it would look like. As they should have. For my whole ass personality. Yes. This. Oh! Gorgina! It's basically a starred tiara of just straight stars to the sky. Okay. This one, I would definitely have given to you. Oh, that's a slay. That's a fuckin slay. That is What is that? Wow, I can't pi You know what I'm Let me describe this. There is a person out there, or a meme or something, like the dancers that wear the head wraps that also have like the pineapples and the bananas and the oranges on their head. That. But what is that? It's like the It's the I don't know. You know when it's on the tip? It's like on the tip of my tongue. It's a bedazzled fruit basket on top of my head. Correct. Correct. Like, I live in Hawaii. I have these earrings. Oh, I love those. Rainbow Queen. They're sequins. Red, green, purple, and blue. I have a green sequins jacket. I have red shorts. I have a yellow tank top. I have body glitter galore. I have face gems. I have fake eyelashes. They were like, there's simply no doing too much. Like there's no such thing with Carnival. You just need to be covered in glitter, which like, say less to me. Say less to me. That's the aesthetic we all need. yeah, next week I'll be giving you an update on how it all went, and I'm sure it's going to be absolutely insane. Saturday, the party starts at 7 p. m. and it ends at 7 a. m. So pray for me. That sounds fun. And we got an open bar. So absolutely pray for me. Prayers up, boy. What have you been drinking internationally? Because you usually drink wine, but like sometimes I feel like if it's a pussy pop, it's not like a wine vibe, you know? Yeah, great question. Uh, in Argentina, it was definitely wine because you can have wine everywhere you go. And then at bars, what have I been having at bars? I've been having vodka juice, which is usually just like a mix of crap, but that usually is fine for me. A vodka soda. yeah, just all vodka stuff. When I'm really desperate, they don't have, they don't have Red Bull. They have what they call Speed. Oh, okay. Like that is on the side of the can. Oh, interesting. So it's like Red Bull dupe. Yeah. But when you're ordering it, it says Red Bull and speed. So it's like, is this a methamphetamine or is this Red Bull? Good Lord. Yeah. So no, it's everything's been amazing. I've only been in Brazil a couple of days, so I don't have like any big. Takes on Brazil yet, but loved Buenos Aires. Can't wait to go back. Loved all the friends that I made. We had such a good group of humans. Leaving was really hard, but I'm excited for the next month and what it has in store. Lovely. I can't wait to hear about it. Oh my god, do you know what update I did have for you? I'm so mad. I watched American Nightmare. Oh, you did? So frustrating. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. It was so Because it has you going one way, and then, you know Oh, yeah, actually, now that you say that, one of my friends I can't remember who it was. They're gonna be, like, mad at me when they're listening to this. But was like, Colleen, you literally said in the last episode that you were like, Oh, I won't ruin it, but And then you just fucking ruined it. And then I was like, Did I? And they were like, yes. Oh, I don't remember that. I think I must have said like, well, now that we're talking about it, I don't fucking care. But I think I must have said something along the lines of like, yeah, no one believed her. So like, obviously. And it was real or something. And it was crazy. Oh. I don't know. Like I insinuated what the truth was. And then they were just like, okay. And they were so. Oh my god. You know what you did say? That poor, poor woman. Oh, maybe that's why. Okay. So I was like, oh, she must not be making this up going into it, but it also didn't go the way that I thought it would at all. Yeah. Yeah. Either way, it's still unexpected, but like, my bad, guys. My bad. I loved the lady cop. Oh my god, Queen, when she was crying, it was like when I realized that was her and I found the wand. Oh my god, I cried. I cried. More cops like her, honestly. What an absolute saint of a human. Mm hmm. Hundred percent. Another thing I had to talk to you about was Elmo checking in with everybody and people's responses. Did you see this? No. So, Elmo Just like not what I was expecting you to say. Like the Elmo account on Twitter said, Elmo is just checking in. How is everybody doing? No, it gives me the heebie jeebies. Someone look into that. Someone wrote, Elmo, I'm gonna be real, I am at my fucking limit. Help me out, help a brother out, Elmie. There's also one where they have the meme from Broad City where she's putting in quotes. How am I? There's one. Thank God you asked, Elmo. There's one where there's a target on just like a random fish in a bowl and it says, Hi Elmo, wire me 100, 000 right now or Dorothy gets it. I don't have the strength. One person wrote me getting ready to trauma dump on Elmo and it's Jack Nicholson like swirling a drink around. One person wrote, Elmo, where do I even begin? Like Elmo. Elmo really got more than he bargained for, and I highly recommend, if you just need a good giggle, to just go out and look at it. He wasn't asking for this! No. They even, they had him on some show, and they were like, why do you think, they had Elmo on, and they were like, why do you think people reacted like this? He got much more than he bargained for. Oh, but it's, it's just so funny. So, so funny. Did you watch the Grammys? No. What, what do you do with your life? I don't understand. I work and then I rot and that's all I do. It's horrible, honestly. Can you rewatch Blue Bloods? No, I've never seen Blue Bloods, Bridget. It's Chicago PD. Get your shit together. She leaves the country one time and she can't remember my TV shows. I have one show. One. Since you've left. No, you don't. You have many shows. That's my one show at the moment. You've been through all the phases. Okay, I'm so sorry. I meant Chicago PD. I'm so sorry. Yeah, it's okay. I have been putting it on in front of Fiona, and this bitch has the audacity of the day to go, just say out loud, this is so unrealistic. I have, my reflexes, I punched her so hard, and I said, shut your fucking mouth. Chicago is the finest city in this country, okay? And they are dedicated, and they are the hardest working. The intelligence unit? You don't even know. You don't even know about them. Oh, my God. That's all. God damn it, Colleen. Yeah, that is what I do with my time, in case you're wondering. So, no, I have not watched the fucking Grammys, but I did see the clip of Laini Wilson winning, because that's all I cared about. And then, you know what, I get that the other thing that I saw was Miley Cyrus winning, which I'm really, I'm happy for her, but like, I don't, something, it was, her look was giving deer in headlights. I'm just, I didn't like it, and people were like, quaking. I just. I didn't get it. The gums were gumming. The eyes were freaking me the fuck out. And it was, it just wasn't giving to me. And her hair was giving like gone with the wind. I don't know, but I liked your outfit. Yeah, it was. It was very 90s blowout and I loved her calling everyone out being like, why are you acting like you don't know every word to this song? Also, it was not giving 90s blowout, it was giving mullet. It was giving mullet. Robbie Ray would have been so proud. Billy Ray. Sorry I said Robbie Ray because that's from Hannah Montana, but Billy Ray. Billy Ray. And Toby Keith died. Oh my god, I forgot. I'm sorry. I'm trying to suppress that. No, it's okay. That's an American tragedy. You brought up country music. That's an American nightmare if I've ever heard. He was a gem to this country. When's the last time you listened? When's the last time you listened to Toby Keith, Colleen, honestly? Yesterday. Courtesy of the red, white, and blue, bitch. I'm sorry. That's all. Oh, man. it was really cool to see a lot of ladies taking home awards by the end of the night. It was just like woman after woman after woman. It was, it was pretty badass. Pussy power. The power of the Poussoir. Oh, actually, I do have one thing, because it happened to me 10 minutes ago. Drake's nudes were leaked, apparently. Yeah, and people are saying, wonderful things. Yes. Yeah, he's well endowed, obviously. Did you look it up? Oh, yeah, of course. No, you did not. Yeah, I'll show you after. No, I don't want to see it. I feel like I'm, I, it feels wrong. Why? He's out, clearly he doesn't care. I mean, he probably does care, right? No, I, I mean, if you're, if you're one to take it and send it to a stranger, I'm going to say you don't really care. No, I think that's for that person and not for, you know, millions of people to view. Yeah, but it's Drake. He ain't got just one, you know? You can tell by his face. He don't seem to, when you understand the video, I'll show you the video. You'll get the context. There's a video? Yeah, you'll think differently. Trust me. Oh, wow. Okay, well, good for him. Love that journey for him. Mm hmm. Hope things continue to go well for Drake. He has nothing to be shy or upset about. That's all I'll say. It's just so wild that he was on Degrassi in a wheelchair. have you ever seen the I'm Upset video? No. It's the, his one, his music video to I'm Upset is in Degrassi, is like, is the Degrassi reunion. And it's everyone from Degrassi. Oh, that's cool. It's such a good video. It's, it's like a Roman Empire vibe for me. Ah, got it, got it, got it. It's very good. You should watch it. Okay. I'll watch it after this. Gets the puss pop. Poppin! I quite literally have no idea what we're talking about today. I'm just here for a good time, not a long time. Yeah, I picked, I picked a topic you aren't going to know anything about and aren't expecting. Cool. because I felt inspired while I was in Buenos Aires. And so this is like a full circle moment, a little love letter wrapped in just a crazy story. Okay. Okay, cool. I do promise I do have positive stories. Okay, great. So, today we are going to be talking about Eva Perón, who was the former First Lady of Argentina, also known as Evita, which Evita is a movie which we will talk about later. Exciting. Okay. So, Maria Eva Duarte was born on May 7th, 1919, they believe, because They're not really sure because may, she may or may not have forged her birth certificate later in life. So they think that's probably correct. Okay, Batty. Uh, yeah, her father was a super wealthy rancher and he already had a family when he met Ava's mother, like wife and children, which was not uncommon at the time for wealthy men to have multiple families. Can you imagine how exhausting that must be? no. Like, is one wife not enough? Are multiple children not enough? You had to, on top of a job, you had to go and have two sets of them? What on earth? He has time. He's got the time. He should hire you. Please, sir. But when Ava is one years old, her father returns to his quote unquote legal family and leaves. Evita's mother and their children completely destitute. He's the sole provider. The only thing he leaves them is a document declaring that they are in fact his children, that they could use his last name. Like, thank you so much. Okay. Like that's supposed to like Like, what does that do for you, you know? Yeah, super helpful. So kind of you. Moving on. So they're forced to move into a one bedroom apartment in Hunin. I have looked up how to say this place so many times. It's J U N I N, but the way that I heard it pronounced was Hunin, so that's what we're gonna go with. Absolutely. It's in the area of Argentina. It's about three and a half hours away from B. A. The neighborhood has a reputation for being very poor. The family is shunned from the community because they are considered illegitimate. And from here on out, you'll learn more about Ava Peron and how she, she never wants to live like this again. She doesn't want anyone to live like this again. This really creates the person she becomes. This type of upbringing, if you will. Got it. Understood. And it's why later in life, they say she forged her birth certificate so she could rid herself from her past life. So, her father dies when she's six, and her mother and her siblings show up to the funeral to pay their respects. They get in there. They get to say very few words before his widowers like get them the fuck out of here and they're kicked out. So they, they have no money. No one respects them. Ava's mother is sewing children's clothes to get them by and the girls and their brother. They cook, they clean on the ranches, they do whatever they can. And as Ava is growing up, she takes part of school plays and concerts. And one of her favorite things to do is go to the movies. And her mother wanted her marry off to some local guy, but Ava had bigger plans. She wants to become a famous actress. Ooh. And that's on period. She gets a small role in a play and that is that. She's determined. She, you'll learn she's like very headstrong and she's not someone who backs down easily. So she has this in her brain and she's gonna make it happen. Okay. So. When she's 15 years old, she runs off from her hometown, some say with a musician to Buenos Aires, like her and this man just run away together. Some say her mother went and like helped her settle in, but I'm just going to use the musician version because I like that one better. So she. Runs off with a man to Buenos Aires, ridding her hometown. Goodbye. You know, they don't last very long, but now Ava is in the big city and is going to all these auditions and trying to make her dreams come true. But she struggles at first because she has no formal education and she has no connections, but she, like I said, is super strong willed and she does not give up. She also dyes her black, normally black hair, to bleach blonde, which she keeps the blonde for the rest of her life. She, yes, we're talking big dream glow up type of thing here. She books a role with some theater companies and she gets to tour nationally with them. She works as a model. She gets hired for some B grade movies and then She kind of hits the jackpot and gets a job with the most popular radio station in the country. And she acts in a melodrama via radio. So she gets like her own radio show. Ooh. She's a hustler. Or she's acting on it. Yeah. She's, that is the perfect way to describe her. She's such a hustler. So later that year, they end up signing her for a five year contract to act on a radio show called Great Women of History, where she gets to act as different badass women throughout history. So she's doing great. she would actually end up owning, co owning that radio station, and by 1943, she is one of the highest paid radio actresses in the nation. So she's crushing it. She's doing her thing. Pop off. She was able to move into a really nice apartment in a neighborhood called Recoleta. It is a beautiful neighborhood. So beautiful. Think like our Beacon Hill. Okay, got it. Understood. You know, exclusive, smells wealthy, is that kind of type of place. Yes. She does a few movies that don't really get super big, but she's crushing it on radio. Radio is her spot. So, in January of 1944, there's a really horrible earthquake in Argentina that kills 10, 000 people. Which is just horrific. And the Secretary of Labor, Colonel Juan Peron, sets up a fundraiser to raise money for the victims and their families. And he invites all sorts of actors and actresses and radio hosts to participate. And at the end of the fundraiser, there's this very fancy gala. And that is where Ava and Juan meet for the first time. And it was said that they left the gala together at about 2 a. m. in the morning. Scandalous. Yes, we knew it. They were up to, and they left together. So they were up to no good in the best way. Uh, he was 48 and she was 24 and his, he had been married previously and his wife before Ava had passed away from cervical cancer a few years before. So he's a widower when they meet. Got it. Now, at this point, she has no interest in politics, but she's super smart. And so she goes to all these meetings and she sits and she absorbs and she hears everything. And it's, it says at first she didn't argue or put her two cents right in, but she does not miss a thing. And at the time, the radio actors and actresses are forming a union. And she's just one of those people when she talks, she's a rallier. Like she could lead us into battle. Like she's just one of those people that when she talks, it's just super powerful and moving. They elect her as president. because she is so headstrong. Yes. So basically that bitch, she is that bitch. They're basically a power couple, right? So a bunch of political things happen. That's hard to describe. So I'll just keep it high level here. But Juan Peron essentially starts picking people off in government and replacing them with his friends. Got it. And his opponents are like, no, no, no, no, If he keeps doing this, and we keep allowing him to, he's going to be the most powerful person in the Argentinian government. So we need to stop this. So they just straight up arrest him. Which like, government works a little bit different down here, so just roll with me for a second. So they, they keep him for six days. They're just like, he's ours now. And between six days later, 250, 000 to 350, 000 people show up and gather in front of the Casa Rosado, which is, they call it the pink house because it's pink. And it's the official government of the house of Argentina. It's where Juan and. Avida live. So they demand his release. All these people show up. Argentinians love to protest. It's like a thing around Argentina. There's always someone protesting something. It's great. And so they demand his release and at 11 p. m. Juan Perón walks out onto the balcony of the home and addresses the crowd and everyone like loses their shit and it's one of the most powerful and iconic moments in history and is now a holiday in Argentina that translates to loyalty day. Oh! So, the day after Juan and Ava get secretly married in a small ceremony, Juan decides to campaign for the presidency with Ava's help. She, he's like, I want your help. And with her weekly radio show, like I was saying earlier, she delivers these super powerful speeches urging people to side with Juan Peron, and he wins the election by an absolute landslide. And now people are completely captivated by Ava Perone. She's a powerhouse. Absolutely. Juan is invited to Europe to meet with other political leaders and he can't go, so she goes in his place. She goes to Italy. She goes to Spain, Switzerland. She's popping off. She's on the cover of Time Magazine. Ooh. She's, yeah, yep. She's the first South American woman to appear on the cover, especially without her president husband. They actually. Accidentally published that she was an illegitimate child and I guess it got banned from being sold in Argentina for a hot minute while they like tried to take that out. They were like, no, no, no, erase that part. when she gets back to Argentina, she changes her style. So she wears these like beautiful, complicated, twisted buns in her, her curly, curly hair. And like I said, she had made it bleach blonde. Now it's a bit more subdued. She takes the bleach out of it, but it's still blonde. She goes from like these big hats and these form fitting clothes to Paris Couture, Paris Couture, Christian Dior, jewelry from Cartier. It's giving like shiny movie star bimbo to Kate Middleton. Got it. Okay. That's a good. Do you know what I mean? Yes. Yeah, like we're going from like big and loud to like I Just sweat of money And I am classy, classy, class. And she wanted to be seen as a very serious political figure, and she was really smart. Like, she knew how much public image could affect an election, and she knew how to do it. She was so smart. So, she also starts the Ava Perone Foundation. She pours the rest of her life into this. They gave to everyone, children, women, they built homes, hospitals, communities, one's called the Evita city, which still exists today. Within a few years, the foundation has assets in cash and goods in over 3 million pesos, which is 200 million American dollars in the 1940s. Damn. Yeah. So much money. It employed 14, 000 workers. It annually purchased and distributed 400, 000 pairs of shoes, 500, 000 sewing machines, and 200, 000 cooking pots. Okay. So if you think about it, with the sewing machines and the shoes and the cooking pots, this is all the things that her mother and her sisters and her brother did to get by when they were kids. Mm hmm. She is just constantly trying to give back, and due to all of the work and the health services of the foundation, for the first time in history, there is no inequality in the Argentinian healthcare. Which is insane. Wild. Nuts. She's nuts. She sometimes would work over 20 hours a day on her foundation and Juan regularly requested like, can you, can you take a day off? Can you pull back a little bit? Like, we get it. Could you not? And she, she was just on a crusade. She did not want people living the way that she did or growing up the way that she did. She was an activist and a feminist. She regularly spoke on her radio show about women's rights and she is credited as One of the women who gave the Argentinian women the right to vote. Damn. Dare I say like way before her time? Is that what that would be fair to say? So before her time. So before her time. I mean right on time in this case because they needed this but yes She wrote in a paper and she asked the male Peron supporters to help women get there because she was like I know we can't do it alone. We need their help and this is what she said As an example, and I actually went to the Evita Museum in Argentina. And so I got this quote from there It says quote I seize this opportunity to tell all Peronist fellow workers that in the women's party We are organizing. There are no divisions. We are trying to collaborate. I want you to see in General Peron's wife, not an old style feminist, but a modern constructive feminist aware of men's importance and women's potential. We are not struggling for group domination. We are struggling to leave a greater, fairer, and merrier motherland than the one we encountered in the past. Okay. Right? Okay. Wouldn't you go into battle for this, bitch? Yeah, I would. I'd be like, wherever we're going. We're following Evita. Like, that's all, that's all we need to do. So a bill is introduced. It's passed unanimously in the House of Representatives in 1947. Uh, it establishes the equality and political rights between men and women in the universal suffrage in Argentina. Juan Peron signs it and he hands the bill to Ava. Symbolically making it hers. And she says, quote, the nation's government has just handed me the bill that grants us our civil rights. I am receiving it before you certain that I am sex, certain that I am accepting this on behalf of all Argentinian women. And I can feel my hands tremble with joy as they grasp the Laurel proclaiming victory. End quote. That was a lot for me. Are your, are your hands trembling, Colleen? Too many words. Good Lord. also the people are obsessed with her at this point, as you can imagine. She, and the reason why I call her Evita is that's a, it's like a Spanish term of endearment. So. Endearment. What, Bridget? I wasn't going to correct you. Am I okay? Spanish term of endearment, good lord. So if you saw a dog, right, which dog in Spanish is perro, like P E R R O, perro. If you put ito on the end of it, like perrito, it's like little dog. It's like a cute little dog. Or one girl was saying her friend has a baby and Gordo is fat, in Spanish, and so they call the baby boy Gordito because he's like a little chubby baby. You know what's fucked up? In the Hilary Duff movie, they named him Gordo. His nickname was Gordo. Like that's so mean and he was such a skinny little shrimp. Love how your brain went from this to Gordo and Lizzie McGuire. God you keep me honest. If there's no me without you, you know. Um,, so Evita going from Ava to Evita is a term of endearment and that's what everybody starts calling her. So she's so popular. It's insane. Even her husband is like, wait, she, she's way more popular than I am at this point. And he starts to VP. Okay. So, because at this point, right, think of it this way, she represents the left. She's for the women, for the people. She's in the unions in the blue collar and she's kissing the babies and hugging the orphans like that. She is knee deep in the working class. So conservatives hate her. Absolutely hate her and Juan's conservative allies are like, absolutely not. You are not gonna make Evita your VP so if you die, she becomes our president. Like, absolutely not. And he's the face of the Peronist Party, but he realizes that there is no Peronist Party without the two of them. Like, they really make it together. So on August 22nd, 1951, the labor unions hold this massive rally. So, This is where the Peron's Ava and Juan come out onto their balcony. It's a very famous balcony. There are people blocks and blocks and blocks away. They have two huge scaffolding across the street from each other. One has a Vita's face. One has Juan's face on the side. It has been claimed that this rally was the largest public display of support in history for a female political figure. Oh, shit. So massive. And she gets up onto the balcony and she tells the entire country she's declining the invitation to run for vice president. Damn. She. And she said her only ambition was that in the larger chapter of history to be written about her husband, the footnotes would mention a woman who brought the hopes and dreams of the people to the president, a woman who would eventually turn those hopes and dreams into glorious reality. And she said, quote, I'm only a simple woman who lives to serve Peron and my people. End quote. She's so humble. Yes. So the speech in this event has become so iconic reenunciation because it portrays her now as this like powerful but selfless and humble woman. She's like on this pedestal, right? She's wearing a lot of hats. Yes. She's wearing a lot of hats. She's awarded the spiritual leader of the nation. Casual. So people are obsessed with her. Let's just say that. So the glory does not last forever. Unfortunately, in January of 1950 Avita faints in public and gets surgery. A few days later, they tell the public that she got her appendix removed and That was not true. She was experiencing vaginal bleeding and just horrific abdominal pain. She decides to soldier on. They're pretty vague about it. They're like, no, you have female issues. Sure. Sure. And so the fainting continues, the pain does, as well as lots of bleeding and exhaustion. within a year, it's clear that her health is rapidly declining. She ends up getting a hysterectomy to try to remove whatever the problem is. Uh, yeah. And so, she's, she's childless. First of all, can they even do hysterectomies back then? Is that safe? Yeah. Apparently. Okay. Apparently. They actually called in a doctor from New York to do it. Okay, cool. so the tricky part is, I've read this in a few different things that she did know and she kept it from her husband. I've read that she died not knowing what happened to her and what was happening. She has very late stage cervical cancer. Okay. That's what's happening. I saw that they were keeping it from her so that she could keep doing her political stuff. I saw that she knew and she kept it. I don't know. It sounds like she didn't know and they were purposely vague with her, but they do know that she's very, very sick. She's very sick. And after the surgery, the hysterectomy, The cancer has metastasized. It's everywhere. It's absolutely everywhere. Her body starts to deteriorate, and by 1952, she weighs 79 pounds. Jesus Christ. Yeah. Also, trigger warning. This is a little gruesome. A surgeon from Yale studied her skull x rays and made a claim that she was also lobotomized. in her frontal lobe before, a few months before she died to relieve her of the pain and anxiety. Are people literally okay? Who decided lobotomies were cool? I, I don't know, but imagine how much pain you're in where you're like, yeah, just take that part out. Pop off. Like, so while all of this is happening, Juan is reelected for the presidency in 1952 in June, and Evita rides with him through the parade. And this is what she does. She's so ill by this point, she's unable to stand without support. So underneath her oversized fur coat was a frame made of plaster and a wire that held her up so she could stand. That's insane. I'd be like, I'm good. Yeah, I'm gonna, I'm gonna lay flat. Thank you. She took a triple dose of pain medication before the parade and two doses when she got home because she was in so much pain. Damn. So, yeah, so unfortunately Ava Peron dies on July 26th, 1952 at 33 years old. Yikes. And people speculate that because the wife that Juan had before Evita also died of cervical cancer that he actually was a carrier of HPV, and that is what caused both of their cancers. Got it. So, her death was mourned through the entire country in a way that I can only somewhat compare to Princess Diana, uh, to the point where That's a good comparison. Oh, you just wait. So it was to the point where when her body was being moved from one place to another, there were so much, there were so many people pushing towards her in the crowd that nearly 20, 000 people went to the hospital for injuries and eight people died. Oh my God. 3 million people attended Evita's funeral. It lasted 15 days for everybody to go say their Last words to her and pay their respects. Oh my god. Every flower shop ran out of flowers. They had to get them imported from separate countries. They were like, hey, hey, hey, Chile, could you just send us like a bunch of bouquets real quick? Okay, this is not where our story ends though, so she was also embalmed which apparently this will get relevant in a minute She never asked for that. People claim that Juan asked for it. I, I don't know. there's a very famous song called don't cry for me Argentina. It's in the movie Evita. She steps onto the balcony. She sings it and it's very symbolic of her saying to them, she's admitting that she's sick, which that's dramatized. It says that she didn't even know she was sick, but it's basically her saying, don't cry for me. Like, I love you. I just want you to love me back. And I want you to take my name and soldier on with my. All the things that I wanted to do for the country. Don't cry for me, just proceed. Yes, exactly. So, shortly after Evita's death, there were plans to make a statue for her in B. A. that was bigger than the Statue of Liberty, and they wanted her to be at the base in glass, and because she was embalmed, people could come and visit her forever. Was the plan. So like propped up like a mannequin? No, laid down flat. Oh, okay. Cool. I was just little confused like, like, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no, no. Like she would be laid down with her hands, you know, like when you go to a wake. But they wanted her to just be live on forever. Okay. Until. There was a military coup, and Juan Peron is overthrown by an anti Peronist group, and the new president is this guy, Pedro Aramburu. We will get back to him in a second. Juan flees the country, fucks right off to Spain, and they steal Evita's body. No! Yes! Come on, Juan. Get back there. Beat their ass. fully Oh, my God, you could not have done that anywhere else but the microphone. No, I did it into my sweatshirt. Oh, it was in my ears turned up to 17. Oh, my God, it was literally into my sweatshirt to the left. I'm so sorry. The way in which I just jumped out of my seat. Come on in. I peed a little bit when that happened. I won't lie. I'm leaving that in. Okay. So, this military coup, this anti Peronist group, they steal her. And they basically said they simply could not have her as a statue. One colonel stated, quote, whoever has that woman has the country in the palm of his hand. They're threatened, even in death. Yes. Her body goes missing for 16 years. I was just sipping something. Gasp! So, her, the story of her body is actually quite sinister. I will keep this very high level. Aaron Buru, he's the new, he's the new president, right? He's like GTFO Juan. People who loved the Peronis party never forgave this group for overthrowing Juan and stealing Evita's body. Obviously. And in 1970, two men dressed as young military officers capture Aaron Buru from his apartment and torture him. And kill him, trying to figure out where Evita is. I mean, as they should. They keep his body hidden for a month. So for one month, the country is completely freaking out. Where is he? What happened to him? There's a lot going on. They find out he was killed, execution style, in a mock trial three days after they were captured. And they still don't know where fucking Evita is. However, in 1971. The government reveals that Evita is in Milan, Italy, buried under another woman's name. Oh. So they send someone over. Is this a valuable lead? Is this real? So they go over, and they bury up this grave, and when they open the casket, they find a nearly perfectly intact Evita, as if she died yesterday. Wait, how's that possible? Because she, she was embalmed. Damn, even when you're in bond, that should be like staying in place. That's crazy. So they did, they did have to send someone in to touch some things up because with all of the moving and shifting her from country to country, there were some small things, but they knew it was her. Like the moment they opened it up, they were like, oh my god, this is Evita. That's our girl. So Juan has remarried at this point. He's hiding out in Spain. So they ship Evita over to Spain to be with him and Juan I don't know how this happens, but Juan returns to Argentina without her and he gets re elected as president once again, but he dies a year later. They're so desperate to just get Evita back to Argentina where she belongs. So that same group who snatch up Aaron Buru and tortured him, they go to his grave where his remains are and steal him again out of the cemetery. Get snatched up and they held, hold his dead ass for ransom and they, the ransom is that the government needs to ship Evita back to her motherland. She needs to come back to Argentina and it works. The government flies Evita's body back to Argentina and she now rests In a very, very secure, in one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. I went a few weeks ago. It's called Recta Cemetery, which is the fancy neighborhood. She got her fancy apartment in, in Buenos Aires. Mm-Hmm. And she is in a family plot. So she's not in this like you would think it's a vita. She's gonna be in this like big statue, you know, it's gonna have like a vita written on the front of it. It's not, it's like a normal, regular plot, says Duarte on the top of it, it's one of the most visited. Gravesites in, in all of Argentina. And she lies next to her family and her husband is a completely different cemetery. And Aramburu's grave is around the corner. What? I bet she don't like that. Yes. Our tour guide who I love his name is nacho He was saying us that a lot of families who had He's the best. I love him. Uh, a lot of families who had conflict, they're buried right near each other. Interesting. So, people who had, you know, different political views, some rich, some poor, people who hated Evita are buried right near her. He said the symbolism of it is that it doesn't matter how much money you make or what your political standing is. We all end up in the same place. That's so true. I never even thought of that. I was thinking like, Oh, maybe they're just getting over their beef on the other side. Like I don't know. No, no. He's like, it doesn't matter. We all, we all end up here in this, in this beautiful place. And when you get, when you go through the cemetery and you get a guide, which if anyone's going to be a, you have to do this and you have to do it with a guide, they give you all the tea. They're like, Oh, these two people, these two families hated each other. And like. Oh, that man killed her, and it's like absolutely nuts. There's like a new gossipy thing at every corner. It's great. Love that. A tour and the tea? And it's, exactly, in a cemetery. I can't recommend it enough. So there are also a few really weird stories about, Evita's body getting transported like there's this one story where these two men driving her got into an argument and they get into a scuffle and they shoot each other and they crash in the, the truck goes up and they both die, but she, her body is untouched. Interesting. There's also this other one where, uh, they were driving her. Two other completely different guys, different thing. She's in the back. They, they are guards. They are making sure she gets from place to place perfectly fine. The guy driving has a heart attack and both guards die and she was fine. What are the odds? That's crazy. So there are like all these really crazy stories about Evita in the 16 years of her missing and trying to get home. But let's fast forward to the 1990s. Andrew Lloyd Webber, one of the most prolific writers of all time when it comes to musicals. He's an absolute genius. And his friend Tim Rice, who has written, I mean, probably every Disney song you've ever heard of at this point, they start writing a musical called Evita. Now, this is scandalous. It's It's Scandalo, muy scandalo, for a couple of reasons. First of all, Argentina has beef with England because who the fuck doesn't? They colonize everyone, right? So part one, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice are both English men. They're not Argentinian. Second, Madonna is the one that they cast for Evita. Now, not only is she American, but at the time, she had a ton of, she was very scandalous. Like she was so ahead of her time. She's such a trailblazer. And it would be like, like she was coming out with songs about sex and, you know, it just wasn't who they pictured. Evita, like a Evita, one of the albums before was erotica, like she's doing full blown sexual things and she apparently wrote them a four page paper of why she should be Evita. And so when they cast Madonna. People were really, really, really upset. Like most Argentinians, not only did they protest it because they love to do that, they haven't even seen it and they do not care to. Because it, it, this is what it reminds me of. I was trying to find an example. Remember when Miley Cyrus was in her sex era and was like grinding on Robin Thicke during Blurred Lines? Yes. Imagine that the week after she got cast as Princess Diana. Okay, understood. Wrong country, too sexual, this is a person that's on such a high pedestal, like, what are we doing here? It's a thousand times worse than that. Yeah. They also hire Juan Peron is an English actor, just a, a white dude. I mean, sure. And then they hire Antonio Banderas as one of the, like, the union men. And it's like, great, no, squeeze Puss in Boots in there and please offset the white cast. Please. Because Puss in Boots can do it. So most Argentinians say that the movie's not accurate and it's super dramatized. I watched it the other day. Some of it definitely aligns. Some of it obviously does not, but that's just, I mean, that's just showbiz, baby. I was just gonna say that. I'm glad I rewatched it. I got to rewatch it before I went to the Pink House to see where the actual balconies are and that's where Madonna went. to sing Don't Cry For Me Argentina. She actually went there and I got to see it obviously before I saw her grave. If you do not love musicals, you will not like it. It's one of those musicals where every word is sung, even when it doesn't have to be. so I loved it. I enjoyed it, but I was like, Oh God, people who hate musicals would not get behind this. But there were. That reminds me of, have you seen Into the Woods? Mm hmm. So, I went to see Into the Woods when it came out, but I was unaware that it was, I knew it had some singing, dancing, and when I sat down and all they did was, oh, for the entire, I left halfway, because I was like, I'm so overstimulated. No, I was like, I'm gonna freak out. Like, I'm gonna. Oh, my God. That's so funny. So, I feel as though how I felt then is how people would feel if they were unbeknownst, did not know that. You know? Yeah, definitely. Well, it's also, even me, who loves musical, I'm like, you didn't have to sing that. That's not even that didn't even rhyme like that's just a sentence like you can just say it, but I mean, yeah and so when I was a kid, so fast forward to 1997 baby Bridget right is in my basement and When my mother would clean the house, which she did every waking moment because she's a crazy cleaner as you very well know She would play musicals on a CD player and she would play them through the house while she cleaned and she had the Avena musical on CD and at the very end of the soundtrack were Miami club mixes of the songs. So me and Erin would go downstairs in the basement and learn, like, teach ourselves choreography for our family to watch to the Miami club mix of Don't Cry For Me Argentina. And that is the way the good lord intended it. And if that is not full circle. So I have been obsessed with Evita since I was like seven because of this stupid soundtrack that I watched. You had no idea. My mother let me watch the movie. And then to actually go there and rewatch it, it's like this whole crazy full circle moment. but yeah, I mean, I will say to play devil's advocate, even though I don't know that the devil always needs advocating for, that some people absolutely hated her. She, like I said, was very progressive. She was too much for the conservative party. She was way ahead of her time. Some people thought she slept her way to the top. she had to deal with obvious sexism, I mean, that's just clear. Some people said she was just a master manipulator and she went to all of these meetings with her husband and he made decisions, but she was behind the scenes actually doing it. Some people said the charitable organization actually didn't help anyone and that it was like feeding money into Swiss bank accounts for them or. Whatever. There's like all these rumors about them. The biggest one I think that I saw was that her radio show in the newspaper they had control over was just to spread propaganda. It was just their side of the story that they controlled the narrative, which I don't think that's too far off. I think that's a pretty I don't know. I think that that would probably make the most sense, but whatever your side is, though, there is absolutely zero doubt that she is an icon. She is that bitch. She was ambitious. She was smart. She was powerful and people were scared of women like her. Especially with the upbringing that she had, which was so shameful at the time. She just barreled forward. She knew how to affect the media. They loved her. She loved them. She dressed the part. She acted the part. And her speeches and her appearance were everything. She was like, I grew up like this and I'm going to make sure not only do I have a better future but so does everybody behind me and she just took life like by the balls and just ran with it. What an icon. So yeah, that is the story of Evita Peron, her life, her death, her body and the movie that came of it. Hot damn. I'm so well informed. I know, right? That was a good one. Uh, my sources for, thank you, uh, my sources for the day are the Evita Museum that I visited, of course, Wikipedia. There's an article called The Body Swap by the Generalist Academy In the Macabre Journey of Eva Peron's Corpse by Danny Dutch is what I used for my sources. What do you think? Gorgina. I love this, primary source account. Yeah, I Think what's so cool about it is to actually Go to her home and go to the museum and not just watch the movie and go Okay, I have the whole story but to actually see her clothes and listen to her speeches I mean, it was just incredible that there's a part of the Evita Museum where you get to see the procession of her funeral. It's just absolutely insane. It's, it's like out of control. I don't even know. The fact that eight people died by rushing a casket is, it's just crazy. It's nutso. That's a dedication that I've never heard of in my life. Like I can't even make a proper comparison. Like, I'm stumped. Yeah, no, me either. She, she was a queen. Annie Hoosier, you got some positive stories for us? I do, that was so good, I just like needed a minute to decompress that one. Yeah, sorry, that was a lot of information. All 2024. And do you know what though? Do you know what's so annoying? Like, she was only 33, it was HPV probably, and it's like, that would, we could have cured that. Like, if she had just lived in a different time. Also, Juan, get your dick out. Like, stop spreading. Now, it, it's not confirmed that it actually was him, but two in a row, cervical cancer, come on, my guy. there's fire, my guy. And the men, the men, the man is always the problem. So let's get real. It was him. Yep. A hundred percent. No notes. That's a key takeaway of the day, folks. Yep. No notes. I do have two stories. They're both from CBS News. Lovely. The first one, I'm not going to tell you the title of either because it just like gives it away. It's not cool. Okay. Okay. If you walk around Huntington Beach, California, you may spot a woman holding five leashes with one hand and pulling a wagon on the other. A closer look will show she has seven dogs with her and none of them are walking on all four legs. What? The woman's name is Debbie Pearl and all of her dogs have disabilities and use wheelchairs or prosthetic limbs. In 2005, Debbie created a non profit called Dream Fetchers, which helps rescue dogs from the streets and from euthanasia. As part of the organization's mission, members of her personal pack work as therapy dogs. Get the fuck out of here. I know. About nine years ago, Debbie adopted her first dog with a disability. His name was Fast Eddie. Eddie was, she says, Eddie was definitely my inspiration for adopting other disabled dogs. He was so full of life. He never let anything slow him down. I mean, he truly was what you would say the word unstop, what the word unstoppable encompasses. Ugh. Yeah, she said she's really selective when it comes to adopting dogs because they all become her therapy dogs, a group she calls the Unstoppable Dogs. Oh my goodness gracious. Her current pack consists of Zeke, Pop, Speedy, Eddie, Stevie, Elliot, and Sydney, and all are survivors of abuse. I will cry. Once a week, she gathers up her crew and she takes them to hospitals, schools, or, Easter Seals, which is a non profit that helps adults with disabilities. And she says that all of her dogs are here because they've gotten a second chance at life and for other survivors of abuse or those with disabilities, that can be a powerful thing to see. She said, and I quote, Even though they may be in a wheelchair, even though they may be missing a limb, they're making the best of their lives, even despite what has happened, so they just keep on living. And they live life to the fullest. And I think that says a lot that hopefully others can take from that because it doesn't matter maybe what has happened to you in the past or what you're dealing with at this moment, just live because you can live a great life and be happy. Like, isn't it the cutest thing you've ever heard from wheelchaired dogs? They got a peg leg, but they're keeping it moving. I love them. Yeah, that was my first one. Oh my goodness. Such a good one. God bless Debbie, honestly. What would you do if you were walking down the street and you just saw Miss Debbie with five leashes, dogs with just missing limbs, and like, eyes. She's doing the Lord's fucking work, I'll tell you that right now. She is. I love her, Miss Debbie. Love her. Okay, my second one, same thing, I'm not telling you the title. Okay. Jeffrey Holt was unassuming as the caretaker of a mobile home park in Hinsdale, New Hampshire, where he lived a simple, though curious life. Residents would see him around town in threadbaren clothes, riding his lawnmower, heading to the convenience store, parking along the main road and reading a newspaper, or just watching cars pass. He did odd jobs for others in the town, and he rarely ever left the town. Despite having taught driver's ed to high schoolers, he had given up driving a car. He opted for a bicycle instead of, instead of a mower. So he's only riding the bike, he's only riding the lawnmower. His mobile home in the park was mostly empty of furniture. It had no TV, no computer, nothing. And the legs of his bed legitimately went through the floor. Oh my god, honey. No. Oh my god. And then he suffers a stroke. And he has a lot of like developmental mobility issues. And he can't ride his lawnmower anymore. No. Yes. Someone said I think for him Not the lawnmower. I know. And someone said I think for him like riding Lawnmowing was a relaxation for him. It was a way for him to kind of connect with the outdoors. And he saw it as a service to people that he cared about. Because he would just mow their lawns. Oh my god, sweet angel. Okay. Cole passes away, okay? Jesus Christ. He's obviously had a stroke. He's just not doing well. He ended up, he, he ended up passing away. But, God damn it, Colleen. He dies with a huge secret. He was a multi millionaire. No. And he left all of it to the community of his small little town of 4, 200 people. Shut up. Up. Yep. He had only brief instructions left, 3. 8 million to the entire town to benefit the community in the areas of education, health, recreation, and culture. They said that there was no formal gathering to discuss like ideas for how the money should be used. Some residents have proposed upgrading the town hall, restoring buildings, maybe buying a new ballot counting machine in honor of. him in general, because he always made sure that he voted. Oh my God. I would die for this man. Another possibility they talked about was setting up an online driver's education course because he spent most of his life teaching driver's ed. Oh. Residents are hoping that they will get noticed a little bit more because of the gift. It's actually a forgotten corner of New Hampshire, said one of the residents. So maybe this will finally put us on the map a little bit. Oh. Oh no. So Mr. Jeffrey was a secret millionaire that literally lived a simple life and just left almost 4 million for his little town. like the good, good, sweet, simple man he was. Oh, what a wonderful human. I know. And he, I, like, I read there was another part of the article that was, it was really long, just so you know, that was me synopsing, synopsing. I'm paraphrasing.
