#049 A Steaming Pile of Coup


Listen Later

The UCW Kindle crushes it with a themed episode on "coups." Are we talking two door convertible cars, chicken houses or insurrections? Katherine starts us off with a coup from Chile, predictably placing the blame squarely on the shoulders of President Nixon. Jimmy, confused by a Baby Back Ribs reference, gets it together to deliver a fantastic loose coup, the Great Siege of Gibraltar. There were Spanish ships and British ships and people drowning. It's a great time! Then Piers takes us back to 1808 for yet another coup but this time it's down under - the Great Rum Rebellion of 1808. Who knew there could be so much coup in one coupisode! Adam brings it home with a discussion of the Quebec separatist movement in Canada including a kidnapping and maybe an accidental assassination! Wowza, folks, these are coups so good they're picture-worthy.
