    First Elected Animal (1922)

    In 1915, a future leader of men, Bode Ioiô, arrived in Fortaleza, Brazil. Just seven years later, he became a legend. A political goat legend! We dive into the first elected animal and some of the other animals holding public office all over the place right now! We also spend a nice time talking mouths, Christmas trees, and Frankenstein in the MouthGarf Report. And there's another magical game of I See What You Did There.

    First Time Travel (1944, 1968)

    Whether it was a cheesesteak mishap or time traveling tots, on this episode we explore the two earliest "non-fictional" accounts of time travel, one by alleged witness and one by alleged participant, in the Philadelphia Experiment and Project Pegasus, respectively. Plus, we rapid fire some other strange time travel occurrences and other slippages in space-time. Then, a toothsome MouthGarf Report and a totally comprehensible game of I See What You Did There!

    First Film Directed by Tim Robbins / Jack Black's First Film Role (1992)

    The year is 1992, the film is Bob Roberts... a political mockumentary satire. The director, first-time filmmaker (and star) Tim Robbins. And it's also the first film role for a lovable gent named Jack Black. We dig into the parallels between Bob Roberts and present day American politics and consider the right wing folk songs that were, at one point, comedic in their absurdity. Plus, we get into it with the MouthGarf Report, and play a nice round of I See What You Did There.

    First Presidential Convention Held in Arkansas (1931)

    The first time a presidential convention was held in Arkansas was in 1931 and it's never happened again since. Sound like a nothing-burger? You're wrong! This is a major something-burger because we're going to survey the life of William Hope "Coin" Harvey, his free silver ambitions, his own personal health retreat town of Monte Ne, and his brief time as Presidential nominee for the Liberty Party. Join us for a long, strange trip into northwest Arkansas and beyond! Plus, the MouthGarf Report and, of course, a little I See What You Did There!

    First Gmail (1997)

    It's time to dive into the history of Gmail... but it didn't start with Google at all... In fact, it started very differently... Purrfectly, some might say. On this episode we discuss the strange phenomenon of Garfield Mail, the original Gmail. Then we pitch some ideas for making email better, reminisce about products from Google's past, get into movies in the MouthGarf Report, and play a rousing game of I See What You Did There.

    First Film Directed by Cameron Crowe (1983)

    Somewhere, somehow, somebody must have kicked this podcast around some! This episode we're talking about Tom Petty: Heartbreakers Beach Party, the 1983 directorial debut for Cameron Crowe, and lovely artifact of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers from the earliest moments of MTV. Join us as we relish in Petty's charming humanity, Crowe's youthful filmmaker vibe, and the somewhat magical inflection point for two influential creative treasures. Plus, MouthGarf and I See What You Did There!
