DAVE: Welcome back to Touring History, where we turn calendars into entertainment and pretend we understand the complexities of human civilization. I'm Dave—
LANE: And I'm Lane, and before we dive into what might be one of the most historically significant dates we've ever covered, let's talk about something that's been consistently significant since 1952—Randy's Donuts.
DAVE: Oh, you're going straight for the donuts today? I respect that.
LANE: Dave, when you're about to talk about Juneteenth, the Rosenbergs, and the first Father's Day all in one episode, you need proper fuel. And Randy's Donuts has been fueling Los Angeles with perfection for over 70 years.
DAVE: That giant donut sign isn't just a landmark—it's a promise. A promise that inside, you'll find donuts that'll make you question every other bakery decision you've ever made.
LANE: I was there yesterday, actually, and got one of their chocolate old-fashioned donuts. It's like they took everything good about chocolate and everything good about donuts and just... combined them into something that shouldn't be legal.
DAVE: That's the Randy's difference right there. They don't just make donuts—they make experiences. Classic glazed, specialty filled donuts, bear claws that are basically breakfast pastries having an identity crisis in the best possible way.
LANE: Check them out at randysdonuts.com, because if you're going to learn about history, you might as well do it with optimal blood sugar levels.
DAVE: And speaking of history, today is June 19th, which means we're talking about Juneteenth—the day that actually ended slavery in America, even though most people didn't know it happened.
LANE: Plus we've got executions, naval battles, civil rights victories, and somehow the first Father's Day gets squeezed in there too.
DAVE: Oh, and the day that advertising became legally required to tell the truth. Which, honestly, feels like it should have been obvious, but here we are.
LANE: Before we get into the heavy stuff, let's talk about who was born on this day, because it's a fascinating mix of people.
DAVE: Jose Rizal was born on June 19th, 1861. Filipino nationalist, writer, and basically the guy who helped inspire the Philippine independence movement.
LANE: Rizal is one of those historical figures who was way ahead of his time. He was writing novels that criticized Spanish colonial rule when that was basically a death sentence. Which, spoiler alert, it eventually was for him.
DAVE: The man wrote "Noli Me Tangere"—which translates to "Touch Me Not"—and it was such effective anti-colonial literature that the Spanish authorities banned it immediately.
LANE: And then we have Aung San Suu Kyi, born in 1945, Nobel Peace Prize winner who spent years under house arrest for opposing Myanmar's military government.
DAVE: Suu Kyi's story is complicated, though. She was this incredible symbol of democratic resistance, and then when she actually got power, things got... messy.
LANE: Right, the Rohingya crisis really complicated her legacy. It's a reminder that heroes can be complicated, and liberation movements don't always lead to the outcomes you expect.
DAVE: On a much lighter note, we've got Blair Underwood turning 61, who basically defined "smooth" for an entire generation of TV watchers.
LANE: Blair Underwood in "L.A. Law" was peak 1980s television sophistication. The man made being a lawyer look glamorous, which is quite an achievement.
DAVE: And then we jump to the modern era with KSI, who's 32. YouTuber, boxer, musician—basically the definition of internet celebrity entrepreneurship.
LANE: KSI represents this whole generation of people who built media empires out of literally nothing but personality and internet access. It's kind of amazing when you think about it.
DAVE: Plus Zoë Saldana, who's 47 and has basically been in every major sci-fi franchise of the last 15 years. Star Trek, Avatar, Guardians of the Galaxy—she's the queen of fictional universes.
LANE: She's got this ability to bring emotional depth to characters who are often blue or green or from other planets. That's a very specific skill set.
[AI VIDEO PROMPT: Union General Gordon Granger in military uniform reading General Order No. 3 to a gathered crowd of enslaved people and freedmen in Galveston, Texas. Show the moment of realization and joy as people understand they are free. Include period-accurate clothing, wooden buildings, and the Texas landscape. Show families embracing, people crying with relief, and children looking confused but hopeful. Style: Emotional historical documentary with warm, golden lighting to emphasize the significance of freedom.]
DAVE: Alright, let's start with the big one. June 19th, 1865, Union General Gordon Granger arrives in Galveston, Texas, and issues General Order No. 3, which finally enforced the Emancipation Proclamation in Texas.
LANE: This is Juneteenth, and it's wild that it took until 2021 for this to become a federal holiday, because this is literally the day slavery actually ended in America.
DAVE: What blows my mind is that the Emancipation Proclamation was issued in 1863, but it took two and a half years for the news to reach—or more accurately, be enforced in—Texas.
LANE: Well, it's not like enslaved people in Texas didn't know about the Proclamation. Their enslavers knew about it too. They just... ignored it. Because who was going to stop them?
DAVE: Right, until Union troops actually showed up with the authority to enforce it. And when Granger read that order, it affected about 250,000 enslaved people in Texas.
LANE: You know what gets me? The order didn't just say "you're free." It told the formerly enslaved people they had to work for wages now, and it told their former enslavers that they couldn't just keep treating them like property.
DAVE: It's such a foundational moment in American history, and yet it took until I was an adult for most Americans to really learn about it.
LANE: The fact that we're just now making Juneteenth a proper national holiday is embarrassing. This should have been as big as the Fourth of July from day one.
DAVE: And the celebrations that started that day in Texas—with food, music, and family gatherings—those traditions have been passed down for 160 years. That's incredible cultural resilience.
[AI VIDEO PROMPT: Somber scene outside Sing Sing prison with crowds of protesters holding signs both supporting and condemning the Rosenbergs. Show the prison's imposing walls and electric chair in a stark, clinical room (historically accurate but respectful). Include newspaper headlines about the case, and scenes of families and children affected by the decision. End with protesters dispersing in the evening. Style: Noir-influenced black and white documentary style with heavy shadows and serious tone.]
LANE: Moving to something much darker, June 19th, 1953, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were executed for espionage.
DAVE: This case is still controversial today. The Rosenbergs were convicted of passing atomic secrets to the Soviet Union, but there are serious questions about whether they actually did it, and whether the punishment fit the crime.
LANE: What makes this case so haunting is that they left behind two young children. Whether you think they were guilty or innocent, watching parents get executed when their kids are ten and six years old is brutal.
DAVE: The evidence against Julius was stronger than against Ethel, but they were both sentenced to death. And this was happening during the height of the Red Scare, when being accused of communist sympathies could destroy your life.
LANE: What's really disturbing is that Ethel might have been used as leverage to get Julius to confess. The government may have been hoping that threatening his wife would make him talk.
DAVE: And it didn't work. Julius maintained his innocence until the end, and they both went to the electric chair.
LANE: It's one of those cases where even if you think they were guilty, the death penalty seems excessive. Especially for Ethel, where the evidence was much weaker.
DAVE: The whole thing reflects the paranoia of the era. The atomic bomb was this terrifying new reality, and the idea that Americans might be giving those secrets to the Soviets drove people absolutely crazy.
[AI VIDEO PROMPT: Massive World War II naval battle with aircraft carriers launching planes across the Pacific Ocean. Show American F6F Hellcat fighters engaging Japanese Zero fighters in aerial combat above the carrier fleet. Include dramatic dogfights, planes diving and climbing, explosions in the sky, and ships maneuvering below. Focus on the scale and intensity of the largest carrier battle in history. Style: Epic war documentary with dynamic camera movements and authentic WWII aircraft detail.]
DAVE: Shifting to World War II, June 19th, 1944, marks the beginning of the Battle of the Philippine Sea, which included what pilots called the "Great Marianas Turkey Shoot."
LANE: That name is so American. "We shot down so many enemy planes it was like hunting turkeys."
DAVE: The numbers are insane. The Japanese lost something like 400 aircraft in one day, while the Americans lost maybe 29. It was a complete slaughter in the air.
LANE: This was the largest carrier battle in history—15 American carriers against 9 Japanese carriers, with over 1,350 aircraft involved.
DAVE: What's fascinating is that this battle effectively ended Japan's ability to conduct major carrier operations for the rest of the war. They lost so many experienced pilots that they never recovered.
LANE: The Japanese called their pilots "the flowers of the Navy," and in one day, most of those flowers got shot down by American pilots who had been training in safety while the Japanese were burning through their experienced airmen in earlier battles.
DAVE: It's a perfect example of how attrition warfare works. The Americans could replace their losses—planes, pilots, everything. The Japanese couldn't.
LANE: Plus, American pilots who got shot down over the Pacific often got rescued. Japanese pilots who went down were usually just gone. That makes a huge difference in maintaining an experienced air force.
DAVE: The battle basically secured American control of the central Pacific and opened the way for the invasion of the Philippines. It was a turning point that made Japan's defeat inevitable.
[AI VIDEO PROMPT: The U.S. Senate chamber during the historic civil rights debate, showing senators in suits giving impassioned speeches from the floor. Show the gallery filled with civil rights advocates and opponents watching intently. Include scenes of the vote being tallied, senators raising their hands, and the moment of victory. Cut to civil rights leaders watching on television and celebrating. Style: Formal political documentary with classic 1960s broadcast television aesthetics.]
LANE: June 19th, 1964, the U.S. Senate approves the Civil Rights Act after one of the longest filibusters in history.
DAVE: Eighty-three days. Eighty-three days of Southern senators trying to talk the bill to death.
LANE: Strom Thurmond spoke for over 24 hours straight at one point. Twenty-four hours! I can barely talk for 24 minutes without losing my voice.
DAVE: What's amazing is that this was exactly 99 years after Juneteenth. Like, it took a century after slavery ended for America to actually try to enforce equal rights.
LANE: The filibuster was led by a group of 18 Southern Democrats who called themselves the "Southern Bloc," and they threw everything they had at stopping this bill.
DAVE: But they couldn't stop it forever. The bill passed 73 to 27, and it was this massive victory for the civil rights movement.
LANE: What I love is that the civil rights leaders knew this was happening and were basically glued to their televisions and radios waiting for the vote.
DAVE: And when it passed, you had celebrations breaking out in churches and community centers across the country. People knew this was the moment that was going to change everything.
LANE: Well, change the law, anyway. Changing hearts and minds would take a lot longer.
DAVE: True, but you've got to start somewhere. And making discrimination illegal was a pretty good place to start.
[AI VIDEO PROMPT: Early 1900s Spokane, Washington, with families in period dress (men in suits and bow ties, women in long dresses) gathering for the first Father's Day celebration. Show fathers with their children in a church setting, families having picnics in a park, and men receiving simple gifts like handmade cards. Include horse-drawn carriages and early automobiles. Style: Warm, nostalgic sepia-toned footage with soft focus and family-friendly atmosphere.]
DAVE: In a much lighter development, June 19th, 1910, was the first Father's Day, celebrated in Spokane, Washington.
LANE: This was all because of Sonora Smart Dodd, whose father raised six children by himself after his wife died in childbirth.
DAVE: So she's listening to a Mother's Day sermon and thinking, "Wait, what about dads? My dad was amazing." And she just decided to create a holiday.
LANE: I love that she picked June because it was her father's birth month. Like, this wasn't some marketing committee decision—it was just a daughter who wanted to honor her dad.
DAVE: Although it took until 1972 for Father's Day to become an official federal holiday. Mother's Day got federal recognition in 1914, so dads had to wait almost 60 years.
LANE: That seems about right, honestly. Mothers organize everything, fathers show up and grill things.
DAVE: Hey, grilling is important! Someone has to be in charge of meat and fire.
LANE: What's funny is that early Father's Day was much more serious than it is now. People gave speeches about fatherhood and civic responsibility. Now it's basically "Here's a tie and let Dad watch sports."
DAVE: I'm not complaining about the evolution. Sometimes simple is better.
[AI VIDEO PROMPT: Victorian-era British brewery with workers in period clothing (vests, caps, suspenders) bottling beer and applying the distinctive red triangle label to Bass Ale bottles. Show the iconic red triangle logo prominently, beer barrels, and the industrial brewing process of the 1870s. Include a formal document signing scene representing the trademark registration. Style: Industrial documentary with warm amber lighting and authentic Victorian-era details.]
LANE: Now we're getting into advertising history, and June 19th, 1876, marks when Bass red triangle became the UK's first registered trademark.
DAVE: A triangle! They trademarked a triangle! And it worked!
LANE: Well, it was specifically a red triangle, and it was for Bass Ale, which was hugely popular at the time.
DAVE: What I love about this is that it shows how branding was becoming a thing in the 1870s. Companies were realizing that symbols and logos could be valuable property.
LANE: And Bass knew what they were doing. They camped out at the trademark office to make sure they got the first registration. They understood that being first mattered.
DAVE: The red triangle became so iconic that it appeared in famous paintings. Manet put it in one of his works. When your beer logo ends up in French Impressionist art, you've made it.
LANE: It's wild to think about how this simple geometric shape became one of the most recognizable symbols in the world. Just a red triangle, but everyone knew exactly what it meant.
DAVE: And it's still in use today! 149 years later, and Bass still uses that red triangle. That's incredible brand consistency.
LANE: Though let's be honest, most people today probably don't even realize they're looking at the world's first registered trademark when they see it.
[AI VIDEO PROMPT: 1930s Federal Trade Commission office with men in suits examining false advertising materials and patent medicine bottles. Show sensational newspaper ads with outrageous health claims, officials reviewing documents, and a gavel striking to represent legal action. Include examples of early consumer protection efforts and honest advertising materials being approved. Style: Classic 1930s government documentary with black and white film aesthetic and serious regulatory tone.]
DAVE: June 19th, 1938, Congress passes the Wheeler-Lea Act, which made false advertising illegal.
LANE: Wait, false advertising was legal before 1938? That explains so much about early 20th-century medicine.
DAVE: Oh, you could claim anything! "This tonic will cure your consumption, grow your hair back, and make you irresistible to the opposite sex!" No problem, as long as you didn't actually poison anybody.
LANE: The Wheeler-Lea Act was specifically targeting patent medicines and health products, because people were making wild claims about curing diseases with basically sugar water and alcohol.
DAVE: Before this, the Federal Trade Commission could only go after false advertising if it hurt competitors. They couldn't do anything just because it hurt consumers.
LANE: Which is insane when you think about it. "Sorry, Mrs. Johnson, we know that hair tonic gave you a rash, but the company's competitors aren't complaining, so our hands are tied."
DAVE: The new law said that advertising had to be truthful and couldn't be misleading, which seems like it should have been obvious, but apparently it needed to be written down.
LANE: What's funny is that this law is still the foundation of advertising regulation today. Every time you see "Results not typical" or "Individual results may vary," that's Wheeler-Lea at work.
DAVE: Although let's be real—advertisers immediately started finding creative ways around the new rules. The spirit of patent medicine salesmen lives on in modern marketing.
LANE: Speaking of honest advertising, let's talk about Randy's Donuts, which has been delivering exactly what they promise since 1952.
DAVE: No false claims here, Lane. When Randy's says they make incredible donuts, they mean it. When they say they've got that giant iconic donut sign, you can literally see it from space. Well, maybe not space, but definitely from the freeway.
LANE: I love that Randy's doesn't need to oversell anything. The donuts speak for themselves. Classic glazed perfection, creative specialty flavors, and that old-school bakery quality that you just can't fake.
DAVE: Plus, they're open 24 hours, which means whether you're an early bird looking for breakfast or a night owl satisfying a midnight craving, Randy's has got you covered.
LANE: And unlike those questionable patent medicines from before 1938, Randy's ingredients are exactly what you'd expect—flour, sugar, and a whole lot of expertise that's been perfected over seven decades.
DAVE: Check them out at randysdonuts.com, because when we say they're good, we mean it. No Wheeler-Lea Act violations here.
LANE: Just honest donuts for honest people. Now back to our historical journey.
[AI VIDEO PROMPT: Medieval Scottish battlefield with Robert the Bruce in chain mail and heraldic surcoat leading Scottish warriors against English forces. Show medieval combat with swords, spears, and shields in the rolling hills of Scotland. Include the Scottish defeat with Bruce retreating through misty Highland landscape. Focus on the gritty reality of medieval warfare and the beginning of Bruce's legendary guerrilla campaign. Style: Epic medieval film with atmospheric lighting and authentic armor and weapons.]
DAVE: Way back to 1306, we have the Battle of Methven, where Robert the Bruce got absolutely destroyed by the English.
LANE: This is early in Bruce's career, when he was still figuring out that maybe fighting conventional battles against the English wasn't the best strategy.
DAVE: Bruce had just been crowned King of Scotland, and he thought he could take on the English in a straight fight. Spoiler alert: he could not.
LANE: The English forces were led by Aymer de Valence, and they basically scattered the Scottish army. Bruce barely escaped with his life.
DAVE: But here's what I love about this story—this defeat taught Bruce that he needed to fight a guerrilla war instead of traditional battles. And that's exactly how he eventually won Scottish independence.
LANE: Sometimes you have to lose badly to figure out how to win. Bruce took this humiliation and turned it into a completely different military strategy.
DAVE: Plus, this is where we get all those legends about Bruce hiding in caves and watching spiders build webs, learning about persistence.
LANE: Whether that spider story is true or not, the lesson is real. Bruce went from this crushing defeat to eventually winning at Bannockburn and securing Scotland's independence.
DAVE: It's a perfect example of how failure can be more instructive than success, as long as you're willing to learn from it.
[AI VIDEO PROMPT: Steve Fossett in a high-tech gondola beneath a massive balloon, preparing for takeoff with support crew checking equipment. Show the balloon launching into clear skies, then montage of the journey over diverse landscapes—oceans, mountains, deserts—from the gondola's perspective. Include mission control tracking the flight and Fossett managing complex navigation equipment. Style: Adventure documentary with sweeping aerial views and inspiring music undertones.]
LANE: June 19th, 2002, Steve Fossett departed on the first successful solo balloon flight around the world.
DAVE: Steve Fossett was basically the human embodiment of "because it's there." The man set over 100 world records just because he could.
LANE: This balloon flight took him 13 days and covered about 20,000 miles. And he did it alone, in a tiny gondola, with nothing but the wind to carry him.
DAVE: What blows my mind is the precision required. You can't steer a balloon like you can an airplane—you have to find the right wind currents at different altitudes and ride them like invisible highways in the sky.
LANE: Fossett had tried this five times before and failed. Engine problems, weather, equipment failures—basically everything that could go wrong did go wrong, until this attempt.
DAVE: And it's not like he was just floating around randomly. He had to navigate around restricted airspace, deal with international flight permissions, and avoid war zones.
LANE: The technology in his gondola was incredible—satellite communication, weather monitoring, life support systems. It was like a tiny spacecraft.
DAVE: What I love is that this was pure adventure for the sake of adventure. There was no commercial purpose, no scientific breakthrough—just one guy who wanted to prove it could be done.
LANE: Although Fossett disappeared in 2007 while flying a small plane over Nevada. They didn't find the wreckage for over a year. The man lived for adventure, and ultimately, adventure got him.
[AI VIDEO PROMPT: 1980s newspaper printing facility with huge rolls of paper and printing presses running. Show Garfield comic strips being printed in multiple newspapers, families reading the comics section at breakfast tables, and children laughing at Garfield strips. Include Jim Davis at his drawing board creating Garfield comics, and montage of Garfield merchandise in stores. Style: Nostalgic 1980s documentary with warm lighting and classic newspaper comic aesthetic.]
DAVE: June 19th, 1987, Garfield debuted in 41 newspapers, which was the beginning of a comic strip empire.
LANE: Garfield! I love that this fat, lazy, lasagna-obsessed cat became a global phenomenon. Like, what does that say about humanity?
DAVE: Jim Davis created Garfield specifically to be commercially successful. He studied what comic strips worked and designed Garfield to appeal to the widest possible audience.
LANE: And it worked! At its peak, Garfield was in over 2,500 newspapers worldwide. It became the most widely syndicated comic strip in history.
DAVE: What's genius about Garfield is that the humor is universal. Everybody understands hating Mondays, loving food, and wanting to sleep all day.
LANE: Plus, Garfield never really ages or changes, so the comic has this timeless quality. Kids today can read Garfield strips from 1987 and they're just as funny.
DAVE: Although let's be honest—Garfield without Garfield, where someone removes Garfield from the strips and it's just Jon talking to himself, is deeply disturbing and somehow funnier than the original.
LANE: That says something profound about loneliness and modern life, but I'm not sure what.
DAVE: Maybe some things are better left unanalyzed. Sometimes a cartoon cat who hates Mondays is just a cartoon cat who hates Mondays.
[AI VIDEO PROMPT: 1960s Kuwait with the British flag being lowered and the Kuwaiti flag being raised at a formal ceremony. Show Sheikh Abdullah Al-Salim Al-Sabah and British officials in formal dress during the independence ceremony. Include traditional Kuwaiti architecture, desert landscape, and early oil industry infrastructure. Cut to celebrations in Kuwait City with people in traditional dress. Style: Formal diplomatic documentary with warm desert lighting and ceremonial gravitas.]
LANE: June 19th, 1961, Kuwait declares independence from the United Kingdom, ending 62 years as a British protectorate.
DAVE: Kuwait's independence story is fascinating because it's all about oil, but also about geopolitics in the Middle East.
LANE: The British had been protecting Kuwait since 1899, basically to keep the Ottomans and later the Iraqis from taking over. But by 1961, Kuwait was rich enough from oil revenues to stand on its own.
DAVE: What's interesting is that Iraq immediately claimed Kuwait belonged to them, which led to the first major crisis of Kuwait's independence.
LANE: Iraq's argument was basically, "Kuwait used to be part of the Ottoman province of Basra, so it should be part of Iraq now." Which is like saying New York should belong to the Netherlands because of New Amsterdam.
DAVE: The British actually sent troops back to Kuwait just a few days after independence to deter an Iraqi invasion. So much for being independent.
LANE: But Kuwait survived, and oil money allowed them to build one of the most prosperous countries in the region. At least until Saddam Hussein decided to invade in 1990.
DAVE: It's a reminder that small countries with valuable resources often become pawns in larger geopolitical games, whether they want to or not.
LANE: Although Kuwait's managed to maintain its independence for over 60 years now, which is pretty impressive given the neighborhood they're in.
[AI VIDEO PROMPT: Indianapolis Motor Speedway with Formula 1 cars on the track, then dramatic shots of Michelin-shod cars pulling into the pits and staying there. Show confused and angry spectators in the grandstands, empty track with only six cars racing, and disappointed fans leaving the venue. Include close-ups of different tire brands (Bridgestone vs Michelin) and team principals making difficult decisions. Style: Sports documentary with dynamic racing footage contrasted with the anticlimactic reality of the controversy.]
DAVE: And finally, June 19th, 2005, brings us one of the most embarrassing moments in Formula 1 history—the U.S. Grand Prix tire controversy.
LANE: This was so bad that it almost killed Formula 1 in America. Only six cars started the race because Michelin tires were unsafe on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway banking.
DAVE: So 14 cars completed the formation lap, pulled into the pits, and just... stayed there. Can you imagine? You pay hundreds of dollars for tickets, and 70% of the field doesn't even race.
LANE: The crowd was furious. People were throwing things, booing, demanding refunds. It was a complete disaster for the sport.
DAVE: What makes it worse is that this could have been avoided. Michelin knew their tires had problems after practice, but the FIA wouldn't let them bring different tires or modify the track.
LANE: So you had this standoff where everybody knew the race was going to be a joke, but nobody would compromise to fix it.
DAVE: Michael Schumacher won, but it was the most hollow victory in Formula 1 history. Six cars, no real competition, and a crowd that wanted their money back.
LANE: This basically ended Formula 1 at Indianapolis and damaged the sport's reputation in America for years. It took until recently for F1 to really recover in the U.S. market.
DAVE: It's a perfect example of how bureaucratic stubbornness can destroy something that millions of people love. Sometimes the rules need to bend for common sense.
LANE: So there you have it—June 19th, a date that spans from medieval Scottish defeats to modern racing controversies, with emancipation, executions, and the birth of honest advertising in between.
DAVE: Plus the first Father's Day, which somehow feels quaint compared to everything else we covered today.
LANE: What strikes me about today's date is how many of these events were about people fighting for freedom—enslaved people in Texas, civil rights activists in the 1960s, even Robert the Bruce trying to free Scotland.
DAVE: And then you've got Steve Fossett, who was fighting for the freedom to do completely unnecessary but awesome things with balloons.
LANE: Different types of freedom, but the human drive to break free from limitations is a constant thread through history.
DAVE: Speaking of breaking free from limitations, Randy's Donuts broke free from the limitation of boring bakeries back in 1952, and they've been perfecting the art of the donut ever since.
LANE: Smooth transition, Dave. Very smooth.
DAVE: I try. But seriously, if you want to support the show while supporting your local donut cravings, check out randysdonuts.com.
LANE: Thanks for joining us on another journey through the weird and wonderful world of historical coincidences. We'll be back next time with more dates, more stories, and probably more tangents about food.
DAVE: Until then, I'm Dave—
LANE: And I'm Lane, reminding you that history is just people making decisions, and sometimes those decisions involve trademarking triangles.
DAVE: Or refusing to race cars because of tire politics.
LANE: Or creating holidays to honor your dad.
DAVE: History: it's weirder than you think.
