Squanto Part 3

1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:05,000
Three episodes in, I'm excited.
I've learned a lot about

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,080
Squanto, and it seems like all
of this is building and we're

3
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:09,960
gonna get some.
We're gonna get some pay off.

4
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,680
Here hopefully because you'll
that's what you look like back.

5
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:16,480
I told you it really parallels
Joseph sold in slavery, betrayed

6
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:20,240
by Potiphar's wife, then kind of
forgotten in prison.

7
00:00:20,240 --> 00:00:22,560
And it's like how far can you
you go?

8
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:26,800
So if you're you know, just keep
keep you caught up If this is

9
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:34,760
your first bonus episode on
Squanto born around 17181580 was

10
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:39,880
kidnapped by a guy that worked
for John Smith, but not with

11
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,600
John Smith's knowledge or
approval taken to Spain from

12
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:45,920
Spain, went to England, England,
Newfoundland back to England.

13
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,800
All that's in five years.
What's going on?

14
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,000
Learns English and a little bit
of Spanish and now he's going to

15
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,680
come back.
So in 16/19 he returns to what

16
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,080
we would call New England, only
to find that his tribe, the

17
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,040
Patuxic, have been wiped out by
a plague.

18
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:08,480
Either we don't know for sure,
smallpox or leptospirosis I.

19
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:09,720
I work with this disease all the
time.

20
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,240
Very.
I'm just kidding, but I'll tell

21
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:12,960
you what.
Smallpox gets all the play.

22
00:01:13,320 --> 00:01:14,680
Leptospirosis.
What?

23
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:15,840
What?
No good PR?

24
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,520
They need better PR because
smallpox just just.

25
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,480
You know, like I was saying in
the previous episode, you know,

26
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:25,680
there's like a confederation of
like 70 ish tribes in this area,

27
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:30,760
you know, varying sizes.
All of those tribes are under

28
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:35,040
this.
I have to go back up.

29
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,360
And so yeah, let me just scroll
back up to say this name

30
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,160
Wampanoag.
Nice.

31
00:01:41,320 --> 00:01:45,600
Confederation that Massasoit was
the chief of, right?

32
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:52,040
So the pilgrims arrive, and if
you know anything about the

33
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:56,680
pilgrims, you probably studied
them, but half of them die, like

34
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:01,560
literally one, and two of them
die within the first, you know,

35
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,520
nine months that they're there.
It's really bad that they land

36
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,760
farther north than what they
think they're going to land.

37
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,479
They're not prepared with
clothing or with food.

38
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:17,920
And so this guy Samoset, who's
from like the Vermont, Canada

39
00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:21,320
area, comes down and talks to
them.

40
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,240
But he knows a, he like, knows
some trade language, English,

41
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,600
but he's not very, he's not been
in London for five years.

42
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:34,440
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, but Squanto, who has, you

43
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,760
know, is kind of a man without a
tribe now.

44
00:02:36,920 --> 00:02:40,200
Yeah, they're like, let me go
get this other guy so he comes.

45
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:41,040
He can.
He's valued.

46
00:02:41,920 --> 00:02:44,240
Yeah, these pilgrims are like,
how do you know how to speak

47
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:45,720
English?
That that's, that's like, that's

48
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,960
like a sign.
Like you're like, whoa, this is

49
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:48,760
creepy.
Right.

50
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,200
And so he is able to interpret,
he's able to make good

51
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,680
relationships between the
Pilgrims and the surrounding

52
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,320
native Indians.
He teaches them, you know, the

53
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,760
agriculture is different.
So like teaches them how to grow

54
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:06,040
corn because they would put the
fish head there so it could

55
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,000
decompose and provide
fertilizer.

56
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:13,160
Taught him how to hunt and trap.
And so really, God provided a

57
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:18,000
way to save many, and ultimately
it saved Samosa's life 'cause he

58
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,880
would have died from that plague
if he had been there.

59
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,480
That's pretty amazing cause
having not only the language,

60
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:29,240
but the skills and very specific
to that geography, just

61
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,560
everything is kind of colliding
together because say I knew a

62
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,840
few languages, that'd be great,
but I can't help you with some

63
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,680
of this other stuff.
Or you know, it's like, you

64
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,160
know, we're still in trouble.
So all of this together leads up

65
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,920
to the first Thanksgiving,
something that you know, this is

66
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:44,280
what this is.
If you're going to learn about

67
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,800
Squanto or something, it's like,
you know around what we're

68
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,200
talking about now.
Yeah, and you know, what are you

69
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:51,880
going to have for Thanksgiving
to eat?

70
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,960
Oh, the same thing they had,
just a nice Turkey fried in the

71
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:56,680
deep fryer.
Steaks, Yeah.

72
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,680
So, you know, their, their
Thanksgiving would have been

73
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:05,600
like maybe some turkeys, wild
turkeys, maybe some, you know,

74
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,560
fish, maybe some trapped, you
know, some deer that they'd

75
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,760
haunted.
But, you know, so it was a time

76
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:17,240
of giving thanks because they're
thankful that God had rescued

77
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,440
them, that God had brought
Squanto into their lives.

78
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,720
Squanto was pivotal in
negotiation, negotiating peace.

79
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:31,160
And it seems like from what we
can tell, Squanto became a

80
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,680
believer.
Tragically, 1620. 20 Man, that's

81
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,480
not much after.
Not much after he dies and a

82
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:42,160
fever.
We don't really know 'cause, you

83
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,960
know, we have a lot of records.
But, you know, he asked for

84
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,560
Governor Bradford to pray for
him.

85
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:51,280
And given his time with the
Friars, some historians surmise

86
00:04:51,280 --> 00:04:53,800
that he was a true convert to
Christianity.

87
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,320
It's hard, you know, hard to
know, but.

88
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,400
Yeah, he went.
Had so much happened in his

89
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,320
life, he would have good, good
perspective.

90
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,280
And that that is so, so
interesting.

91
00:05:03,280 --> 00:05:05,240
You know, everything that
happened kind of leading up to

92
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,640
that first giving, going back in
time, even just a few years, you

93
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,920
know, giving us perspective.
I do have an important question

94
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,000
for you.
Are you, are you OK?

95
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,280
What what do you think of
someone who is just, you know,

96
00:05:15,280 --> 00:05:16,800
grilling steaks on the girl for
Thanksgiving?

97
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,720
Is that a faux pas or is it like
Hey BU?

98
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,440
Well, I since I've done that in
the past, I got a I'm.

99
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,320
I'm, I'm with you.
I'm like in my perfect world, I

100
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,080
mean, we, we deep fry a Turkey,
but no problem.

101
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,640
Like, man, give me the steaks.
I don't you don't.

102
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,160
It's like I don't want to, you
know, a Turkey is fine.

103
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,120
That's more cinnamon oil or
something like that.

104
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,120
But it's like, not, it's not
like, man, I'm just really

105
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:40,880
wanting to have ham today, but
give me a steak.

106
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,040
Yeah, yeah, yeah, steak.
We've done steak.

107
00:05:43,280 --> 00:05:46,160
We we've done some non
traditional foods and then

108
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,280
sometimes we like go back full
traditional.

109
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,640
You know, Chris Hawk always
gives me a hard time because I

110
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:56,560
brine my turkeys which but it
makes them much, much juicier

111
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,520
and they don't tend to dry out
as much in the oven.

112
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:03,440
And I follow the Alton Brown way
to to roast a Turkey.

113
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:07,000
So if you are going to bake a
Turkey in the oven, look up

114
00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:09,120
Alton Brown's way to do it.
Right.

115
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:10,800
I'll have to do that.
That's excited.

116
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,000
And Thanksgiving, I mean, this
is dropping close to

117
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:14,800
Thanksgiving.
Yeah, Yeah.

118
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,480
Yeah, yeah, this should be one
week.

119
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,120
So if our dates are right,
you'll hear this one week before

120
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:21,040
Thanksgiving.
So.

121
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,720
Oh, so that means we have one
more bonus episode?

122
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,080
Yes, yes.
Yeah, the week of Thanksgiving.

123
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:29,760
I mean, that will happen.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

124
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,080
Yeah.
OK, great.

125
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,600
Well, thanks for hanging in
there through this life of Squat

126
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,320
2 and how God worked in all
these amazing ways.

127
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,320
That's our take.
