THIS EPISODE IS NOW AVAILABLE OVER ON OUR PATREON FEED! Donny Copper is a mild-mannered helicopter EMT by day and a wild and cray Civil War buff by night. He runs the very popular @americancivilwar_IG on Instagram and you most likely follow him. The New Yorker called him "an international man of mystery" in an article I read in a dream I had last September. Time Magazine almost considered him for its "Person of the Year" in 2019 after I suggested it, but "we really don't think he fits the criteria for our Person of the Year," according to the email they sent back to me. In all seriousness, Donny has become a good friend of mine since we met via our Instagram accounts in 2018. He has been supportive of the show, come to our Get Out of the Car tours and joined us on the Today Show (I still don't know when it will air). It occured to me about a month ago that I never invited Donny on the show. I coouldn't believe it. He's a very interesting and funny guy. We talked for three hours (2:36 of it being actual show stuff) and covered topics from educating the masses, the pitfalls of managing a successful social media account, bagpipes, the Boston Tea Party, Robert Smalls, anxiety and a ton more. We hope this light-hearted conversation entertains you during the hectic days of the holiday season.
