The Hundred Dollar Pervert

"Do you know somebody by the name of Benjamin Franklin? Doesn't ring any bells." While it might be time for someone to go back to school to learn some American history, today's history lesson isn't something they taught you back in the day. On today's episode of Beyond the Norm we truly go outside of the norm and look at one of America's founding fathers through a new lens. There are many words that one could use to describe Benjamin Franklin, but would you ever expect a lot of them in his time were "perverse" "taint" "rank" and "feral"? It turns out Franklin had a noted history of being a pretty crazy sexual deviant, and Christi has all the salacious details. From his youth to his dying days Franklin indulged in just about all his sexual whims. He would frequent brothels and would bed women both old and young, often simultaneously! His first child wasn't even with his own wife, and she still raised that child! One things for certain, you'll never look at a $100 bill quite the same after today's episode. Quotes “Don't send Stephen nudes, that is my request. That's what Snapchat is for.” (02:38-02:45 | Christi & Stephen) “I don't want to be pretty! I wanna be scary and terrifying.” (08:50-08:53 | Stephen) “I feel like rather than being like you're a sex addict, if "pervert" is in there or "perverse" or anything, we're going down a slippery slope." (32:44-32:52 | Stephen) “I don't know if he had syphilis. Allegedly. Alright he frequented red light districts. Oh he had syphilis. Spoiler!” (34:40-34:51 | Christi & Stephen) Links Send us your ghost or weird stories here: beyondthenormpod@gmail.com
