Everyone learned George Washington had wooden teeth… except he didn’t. In this episode of Are You Sh!tting Me?, Brett uncovers the disturbing truth behind one of America’s most famous myths. Washington’s dentures were made from things like hippopotamus ivory, metal springs, animal teeth, and even human teeth — and they were so painful they actually changed the shape of his face. From one surviving natural tooth at inauguration to the strange reason the wooden teeth myth survived for centuries, this is one bizarre piece of U.S. history you probably never learned in school. Plus: check out our older episode “U.S. History Myths” for even more strange historical lies and legends. #GeorgeWashington #USHistory #HistoryPodcast #WeirdHistory #AmericanHistory #Presidents #FunFacts #AreYouShittingMe

Weird Al's Real Life Might Be Weirder Than His Fake Movie (Are You Sh!#ing Me)

The real story of Weird Al is stranger than his fake biopic. The accordion came from a traveling salesman and a polka name coincidence. His record deal came from the band he parodied. "Amish Paradise" dropped without Coolio's permission due to a miscommunication nobody can fully explain — including Weird Al. And when Prince's management sent him a telegram telling him not to make eye contact at the American Music Awards — Weird Al sent one right back. 27% of the movie is true.The 27% is unhinged. Are you sh!#ing me? Cheers! #AYSM #aysmpodcast #SILWARR #brett #WeirdAl #WeirdAlYankovic #AmishParadise #Coolio #Prince #MusicHistory #FunnyHistory #TrueStories #ComedyPodcast #BehindTheMusic #ParodyKing
