11800:05:33,109 --> 00:05:34,109And they hide in a ditch.
11900:05:34,134 --> 00:05:36,108So, their whole thingis like, Hey, by the way,

13400:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,278And they ended up being land owners.
13500:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,278I'm gonna throw up...I'm not!
13600:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,278People underestimate the power of wine.

13900:06:27,129 --> 00:06:32,128[chuckles] So, anyways, in 1893,it's the biggest land-run ever.
14000:06:32,129 --> 00:06:35,128She gets 36 single broads.
14100:06:35,129 --> 00:06:39,128She's like, [bleep] those stereotypes.

14300:06:42,129 --> 00:06:44,128That's what she said.She was like,
14400:06:44,129 --> 00:06:46,128[bleep] blow into these territories
14500:06:46,129 --> 00:06:51,128and make a bunch of womenin charge of these lands.
14600:06:51,129 --> 00:06:55,128That's everybody's nightmare.[bleep] yes!
14700:06:55,129 --> 00:06:59,12836 single women claimed the land,set up houses and schools,
14800:06:59,129 --> 00:07:03,128and they built themselves...how dare they.
14900:07:03,129 --> 00:07:07,128And that land became Oklahoma,like, the Sooner State.

15100:07:12,129 --> 00:07:17,128You know, it's not all about pioneers.It's not all about families.
15200:07:17,129 --> 00:07:21,128It could be a [bleep] single ladymaking it on your own.
15300:07:21,129 --> 00:07:22,128- Mm-hmm.- You know?

18800:09:04,585 --> 00:09:07,584And NASA's like,Ugh, yeah I guess, Gus.
18900:09:07,585 --> 00:09:09,584Yeah, sure, Gus.
19000:09:09,585 --> 00:09:11,584- Gordo.- Oh, [bleep], sorry.
19100:09:11,585 --> 00:09:12,665- I'm an idiot.- That's okay.
19200:09:12,690 --> 00:09:14,584- All right, all right.- You're fine.
19300:09:14,585 --> 00:09:16,584So, Gordo goes on the launch pad.
19400:09:16,585 --> 00:09:19,584NASA'd be like,Hey, just like, really quick...
19500:09:19,585 --> 00:09:20,665Like, don't touch anything.
19600:09:20,690 --> 00:09:22,584NASA would completelycontrol everything.
19700:09:22,585 --> 00:09:25,584It was so bad that theastronauts felt like, um,
19800:09:25,585 --> 00:09:27,584spam in a can.[chuckles]
19900:09:27,585 --> 00:09:29,584Is what they referredto themselves as.
20000:09:29,585 --> 00:09:32,584So, anyway, he launchesinto space and it's like,
20100:09:32,585 --> 00:09:36,584Three, two, one, blast off.
20200:09:36,585 --> 00:09:39,585[mimics rocket firing]
20300:09:43,585 --> 00:09:46,584Are you shooting that...Okay, good.
20400:09:46,585 --> 00:09:48,584He gets up into spaceand everything's cool.
20500:09:48,585 --> 00:09:51,584He's like, I'm orbitingthe [bleep] Earth.
20600:09:51,585 --> 00:09:54,584- Oh, I'm sorry, I wa...- You can swear.
20700:09:54,585 --> 00:09:55,585No, my mom... I try not...
20800:09:55,610 --> 00:09:57,584I'm not...I'm gonna try not to swear.
20900:09:57,585 --> 00:10:00,584So, he's in space.He sends back the first
21000:10:00,585 --> 00:10:03,584TV images of a human,back to Earth.
21100:10:03,585 --> 00:10:07,584He has a little powderedroast beef dinner.
21200:10:07,585 --> 00:10:10,584He's just having a ball.
21300:10:10,735 --> 00:10:12,675So, he takes a nap.
21400:10:12,676 --> 00:10:16,556The first guy to ever sleep in space.
21500:10:16,592 --> 00:10:18,734He wakes up and he's like,It's good to be Gordo.
21600:10:18,735 --> 00:10:21,734And then, he's like,Oh, [bleep], no, it's not.
21700:10:21,735 --> 00:10:24,734Because... beep, beep.
21800:10:24,735 --> 00:10:30,735Oh... [bleep].I have no stabilization unit.
21900:10:31,605 --> 00:10:34,604Everyone in MissionControl is freaking out.
22000:10:34,605 --> 00:10:37,604They're like, Oh, God.This doesn't look good.
22100:10:37,605 --> 00:10:39,604And Gus Grissom islike, Bro, I love you.
22200:10:39,605 --> 00:10:41,604I'm gonna tell your wife you're a hero.
22300:10:41,605 --> 00:10:43,604Gordo's like, No, stop it.
22400:10:43,605 --> 00:10:47,084I'm gonna take controlover the spaceship.
22500:10:47,143 --> 00:10:49,605Gus is like, You're aboutto do something none of...
22600:10:49,630 --> 00:10:51,604no one has ever done before.
22700:10:51,605 --> 00:10:53,604And Gordo's like,Yeah, no, I know.
22800:10:53,605 --> 00:10:57,604So, just shut the [bleep] up, Gus.I've got control.
22900:10:57,605 --> 00:11:02,378He starts to take over manual control.
23000:11:02,392 --> 00:11:05,604But, at that moment, he losesradio signal with Gus Grissom.
23100:11:05,605 --> 00:11:09,604And so, he gets a radio signalover to his friend John Glenn,
23200:11:09,605 --> 00:11:12,604who's on the recoveryboat over in Japan.
23300:11:12,605 --> 00:11:15,604Then he's like, John Glenn, hey.It's me, Gordo.
23400:11:15,605 --> 00:11:19,604Um, I have absolutely nopower in my spacecraft.
23500:11:19,605 --> 00:11:21,604And I just wanna get back home
23600:11:21,605 --> 00:11:24,006because I'm a reallychill guy. It's me, Gordo.
23700:11:24,135 --> 00:11:25,604And he's like, Okay,here's what we're gonna do.
23800:11:25,605 --> 00:11:27,604And so, together they gothrough this checklist.
23900:11:27,605 --> 00:11:32,604Uh, put this thing up.Like, press this button.
24000:11:32,605 --> 00:11:34,604There's all these things he needs to do.
24100:11:34,605 --> 00:11:36,604But then Gordo's like,Oh, [bleep].
24200:11:36,605 --> 00:11:40,604Beep. And his carbondioxide meter's going off.
24300:11:40,605 --> 00:11:43,604And it's like,Beep, beep, you're [bleep].
24400:11:43,605 --> 00:11:45,604And he's like,Oh, my God, you're right.
24500:11:45,605 --> 00:11:46,725I'm totally [bleep] [bleep].
24600:11:46,750 --> 00:11:49,604But I...no, but he's chiller than that.
24700:11:49,605 --> 00:11:52,402No, hold on.He's way calmer than that.
24800:11:53,086 --> 00:11:57,604John Glenn, look, mycarbon dioxide meter's
24900:11:57,605 --> 00:12:01,604going off and, uh...It's like 100 degrees in my cabin.
25000:12:01,605 --> 00:12:03,604Which means he's [bleep] dying.
25100:12:03,605 --> 00:12:06,604But he's not beinga Debbie Downer about it.
25200:12:06,605 --> 00:12:09,604And he's like, I need to get to Earth.
25300:12:09,605 --> 00:12:13,604But, like, manual reentryhad never been done before.
25400:12:13,605 --> 00:12:15,604So, if he enters theEarth's atmosphere too steep,
25500:12:15,605 --> 00:12:18,604he's gonna blow up.So, he says, Okay.
25600:12:18,605 --> 00:12:21,604There's the Big Dipper.There's the Little Dipper.
25700:12:21,605 --> 00:12:25,604Gemini...He draws an axis on the window
25800:12:25,605 --> 00:12:29,604and uses the constellationsas his constant.
25900:12:29,605 --> 00:12:32,604And he says, This isgoing to be my angle
26000:12:32,605 --> 00:12:34,604at which I can enter Earth's atmosphere.
26100:12:34,605 --> 00:12:37,604Which I think is... pretty incredible.
26200:12:37,605 --> 00:12:41,604So, John Glenn is like, Okay.Ten, nine, eight, seven, six...
26300:12:41,605 --> 00:12:44,604Gordo's like,Let's just, like, do it, I'm ready.
26400:12:44,605 --> 00:12:48,604So, he fires, uh...[grunts]
26500:12:48,605 --> 00:12:50,264Uh, what does this mean?
26600:12:50,605 --> 00:12:52,604[laughs]
26700:12:52,605 --> 00:12:56,604[chuckling] What's it called whenthere's fire coming out of stuff?
26800:12:56,605 --> 00:12:59,604What... when it's like a fire...
26900:12:59,605 --> 00:13:00,604[groans]
27000:13:00,605 --> 00:13:01,604[laughs]
27100:13:01,605 --> 00:13:05,604He fires the rockets.
27200:13:05,605 --> 00:13:07,605[mimics rocket blast]
27300:13:08,605 --> 00:13:10,604He had a $5 wristwatch,and that's what he used
27400:13:10,605 --> 00:13:14,604to figure out how longto fire his rockets.
27500:13:14,605 --> 00:13:16,604[mimics rocket blast]
27600:13:16,605 --> 00:13:19,604Gordo is like, I'mentering Earth's atmosphere!
27700:13:19,605 --> 00:13:21,605[bleep] bravo to me!
27800:13:23,605 --> 00:13:25,605Wait. Oh.
27900:13:28,605 --> 00:13:32,604[both laugh]And he splashes down.
28000:13:32,605 --> 00:13:37,604And he has the mostaccurate splash-down, ever,
28100:13:37,605 --> 00:13:40,556in... NASA history.
28200:13:41,605 --> 00:13:44,845He's like, so chill. He's like,Hey, guys, I made it.
28300:13:44,870 --> 00:13:49,604I'm not surprised.It's me, Gordo.
28400:13:49,605 --> 00:13:51,605Big whoop.
28500:13:56,455 --> 00:14:00,454- Gordo changed the game.- Great.
28600:14:00,455 --> 00:14:02,455He had a $5 wristwatch!
28700:14:04,755 --> 00:14:07,254- All right, Mark.- I'm listening.
28800:14:07,255 --> 00:14:10,254- Well, you're gonna do some talking.- Hello.

29200:14:17,651 --> 00:14:19,424- Yep.- Yeah, now you're woken up.
29300:14:19,425 --> 00:14:20,424Here he comes.
29400:14:20,425 --> 00:14:22,424This is how televisionworks, bitches.
29500:14:22,425 --> 00:14:23,424- Ready?- Which camera?
29600:14:23,425 --> 00:14:28,424- Action.- Hi, I'm Mark Gagliardi.
29700:14:28,425 --> 00:14:30,424[glass crashes] Todaywe're gonna talk about
29800:14:30,425 --> 00:14:34,228Bass Reeves.[laughs]
29900:14:36,555 --> 00:14:39,554Bass Reeves is born as a slave.
30000:14:39,555 --> 00:14:43,554One night,Bass Reeves and his master
30100:14:43,555 --> 00:14:48,554get in an argument over a poker game.Bass Reeves...
30200:14:48,555 --> 00:14:55,312punches his owner in the face.And Bass Reaves thinks to himself,
30300:14:55,406 --> 00:14:59,554Oh, [bleep], you guys, Ijust coldcocked my boss.
30400:14:59,555 --> 00:15:02,554Listen, let's be honest, my owner.
30500:15:02,555 --> 00:15:05,554This is probably notgonna be good for me.
30600:15:05,555 --> 00:15:11,272So, Bass Reeves hightails itto the Indian Territories of Oklahoma.
30700:15:11,452 --> 00:15:15,554So, Bass Reeves winds up livingamong the Seminole Nation,
30800:15:15,555 --> 00:15:19,366learning the language of allof these indigenous peoples.
30900:15:19,474 --> 00:15:21,554And trained in theways of Native American
31000:15:21,555 --> 00:15:26,057- tracking and hunting.- Hmm, awesome.

31500:15:38,705 --> 00:15:40,704the whole of this, butdon't worry about that.
31600:15:40,705 --> 00:15:44,704In 1875 the U.S. is changing.
31700:15:44,705 --> 00:15:47,704Taming the Wild West andall that kinda [bleep].
31800:15:47,705 --> 00:15:51,704U.S. Marshal James Fagan knewthat this was dangerous work.
31900:15:51,705 --> 00:15:58,288He needed the guy that full ondances with wolvesed in that area.
32000:15:58,323 --> 00:16:00,299[laughs]So, Fagan goes to Reeves.
32100:16:00,334 --> 00:16:04,019Hey, I have 75,000 square miles
32200:16:04,020 --> 00:16:07,704to cover to bring bad guys to justice.
32300:16:07,845 --> 00:16:11,844And Bass Reeves said,Listen, I'm ambidextrous,
32400:16:11,845 --> 00:16:15,844I can shoot a gun with both hands.
32500:16:15,845 --> 00:16:20,245I'm 6'2" and 390 pounds.
32600:16:20,845 --> 00:16:24,807I'm gonna be the guythat keeps you safe.
32700:16:24,845 --> 00:16:27,845The only thing I can say to you is...

32900:16:31,845 --> 00:16:34,844 There he goes on the floor
33000:16:34,845 --> 00:16:36,844- Derek?- Mm-hmm?
33100:16:36,845 --> 00:16:40,844- Take my hand.- Good night, then.
33200:16:40,845 --> 00:16:42,845Night. So...
33300:16:44,845 --> 00:16:49,844So, Bass Reeves is working as aU.S. Marshal, picking up bad guys.
33400:16:49,845 --> 00:16:53,844So, one of the bad guythings that he does is,
33500:16:53,845 --> 00:16:56,844he dresses himself up as an old beggar
33600:16:56,845 --> 00:17:01,844at the homestead ofa couple of bad guys' mother.
33700:17:01,845 --> 00:17:05,844He says, I'm just a poor old beggar.
33800:17:05,845 --> 00:17:08,844I just need a placeto stay for the night.
33900:17:08,845 --> 00:17:12,844So she gives Bass Reevesa place to spend the night.
34000:17:12,845 --> 00:17:14,845As soon as the two outlaws fell asleep,
34100:17:15,845 --> 00:17:20,844Bass Reeves pulled down his shawl,grabs his six shooter.
34200:17:20,845 --> 00:17:23,940He says, The Bass w...hold on.

35000:17:43,845 --> 00:17:46,684- That's pretty badass.- Listen, mother[bleep],
35100:17:46,697 --> 00:17:49,024I'll tell you this whole story, hold on.
35200:17:49,059 --> 00:17:51,844This is how big a badass Bass Reeves is.
35300:17:51,845 --> 00:17:55,844The Brunter Brothers,another group of outlaws,
35400:17:55,845 --> 00:18:00,844ambushed him at gunpoint.Bass Reeves kept his cool,
35500:18:00,845 --> 00:18:03,844turned to the firstBrunter Brother and said,

35700:18:06,845 --> 00:18:10,844And as that brother was trying tofigure out the date for the day,
35800:18:10,845 --> 00:18:13,844Bass Reeves shootsthe first two brothers.
35900:18:13,845 --> 00:18:16,844And then coldcocked the other brother
