America's real history is one of giants who overcame all odds, overcame slavers and robber barons.

And what did we do?

Well everyone knows we invented the internet, but we also invented the middle class, the five-day work week, the teenager, the automobile and the space race, and we're just getting started.

We've been through far more chaotic times than this one,

with some of the most incredible leaders on the planet

and they're ready for us to pick up where they left off. Our real origins

connect us back to reality, each other, and a whole new cinematic universe to

empower and inspire. My name's Matthew Cook and I'm the host of American origin stories now playing wherever you get

your podcasts or you can learn more at realm. This episode is brought to you by Sudio.

Now let's start the episode.

We'll work on that.

We will, let's manifest that for 2019.

Okay. Sorry, I've been on Instagram a lot lately and now I'm

talking like a wanderlust white girl when I say let's manifest that. I love it. I

love when Sarah's white girl comes out.

I'm ducking out, you're ducking out.

Let's dike out together, see what's all about.

Dikeing out!
