HISTORY OF HALLOWEEN PART 1 | KING_TROUT 

Hopefully you didn’t get too spooped by this video. Let me know what topics you want me to cover in the future and stay tuned for part 2 coming soon 👻🎃

Bobbing for apples being a form of divination sounds like something a historian would make up when they can't find a practical use for some artifact. "I can't figure out why they made this garbage. It must be some religious device for communing with their gods."

Goblin? Ghoul? GABAGOOL EYY WHATS A MATTER WHICH YOU 🤌🤌

You look handsome today Trout! I’m going to tell all my moms poker friends

Missed these! You need to work out some sort of deal so Eli lets you have more time for these instead of sexually harrassing him in his wife's clothes.

First he gets into it with a ghost, now the history of Halloween. This is definitely a great day to be a Trout fan.

In modern times we call the spooky day in the fall when people put on disguises to trick their neighbors into giving them free stuff "Election Day"

New king Trout dropped, my Saturday just got better

You spooped me almost as much as Donut will be when you finally meet him!

A gambling game wherein you start your car. 😂😂😂😂😂

There's another cool Historian I think you should collab with. His name is The Fat Electrician!

As a descendant of Irish Catholic railroad workers, we're great mechanics, excellent drinkers, and decent hard working folk. ...but you might want to remote-start your truck if you've ever crossed us or told us how to live.

I lost at at the aside to Jake. He sounded so confused. 😂

Clicked over to this from Ubsubbed lol

I love the idea that Trout moved into the podcast house with 3 corkboards covered in cigarette cards and CIA documents.

always a good day when trout posts

Trout being catholic is an epic tier lore drop ( I am too)

Can you please do the mythology of rabbits in the medieval era.

cant wait to see a corner of pepperbox for you.

"Well we won" goes hard 🤣💀

My new favorite ghost antagonist 😂

As a Catholic my religion is correct. no notes.

With that sweat band I'm getting Frank woods black ops vibes. Another great upload

Just watched the new Ghosted. Love you brother, that was the most authentic I have seen anyone in a video.

3:12 there’s a very interesting reason as to why Rome was not excepting of Christians. Although Christians were all willing to participate in open rebellion, they were also unwilling to bow down and worship Caesar. They did not challenge Caesars authority on the first but instead, they believed that God had authority over Cesar. Now you must understand in the ancient Roman world. Cesar was A god like figure so for Christians to say, there is only one god what they are saying in the Roman mind is we refuse to accept you.

One day donut will let you meet his operator..

9:25 basement lawyer is best lawyer

Guy Fawkes was BASED.

I really hope you get to meet Donut Operator someday

5:30 hyper based

Uncle trout is back at it again.

Hell yeah, glad to see another upload. One of the best things I got from Unsubscribe is knowing about you and your channel. You should definitely hop on there more, btw.

It’s about damn time trout im fiending for good content over here

Oh btw, when’s Eli gonna let you out of his basement?

It always circles back to the Roman Empire

Very happy this dropped on my birthday

the gabagool made me spoop my pants

I relate most heavily to 9:07-9:14

First Unsub, then this, followed by Ghosted, spending the evening with the whole gang! Perfect chill evening.

Love the deep dive on Halloween lore!

love your content! your style and commentary is great and makes my sides hurt from laughter

Dude, love your long form content, keep'em coming!!!

I see a Trout video. I’m a simple man, I click and light up my tobacco pipe.

The Purge siren at 13:20 had me crying! 🤣

Ah man i just got back from watching the ghosted episode and you brought a certain old school Catholic priest vibe to that episode that it needed! Been watching your stuff for a minute now man and i love how your integrating into every aspect of the group

Every time I hear the fun music at the end of a King Trout video I clap my hands and giggle like I just farted in a bath tub.

Just gonna say (not like i was ready) you have the damn best studio set up ever 😂😂

Don’t worry about it KT , you’re killing it !

Honestly I just love that you didn’t bash Catholics in the story 👏🏼🤷🏼‍♀️

Halloween sounds like it was way more fun back in the day

Dude that bandana is sick. Also, need a king trout bandana or hawaiian shirt with trout trophies, cigarettes, and tin foil on the print.

Saturday content dump with king trout to round it off. Today was a good day

KING TROUT!

Woke up an a Indiana morning to a king_trout vid, holy fuck it's gona be a good ass day!

Heck yeah! King Trout posted! Today is a good day!!!

Yaaay! The Unsub house fluffer has posted content! ❤

My son's first Halloween was tarnished by the Mennonite neighbor who told him they don't celebrate because it makes Satan happy. We had a long talk him and I regarding the 1st Amendment and it's insurance clause, the 2nd. Welcome to America 🇺🇲

I appreciate your value of "what's important" lmao 🇺🇸

Trout! You are the best. More videos, please. Thank you.

Oh so everyone just gets a video today. Well this is a great day.

Trout lives with Jay from Corridor Digital?!?! Those dudes were my childhood

Saw your ghosted debute. Did well challenging those ghosts.

As a part 3 you should, maybe, look into the activities in Detroit that took place on October 30th.....it was quite exciting!

Love a good Halloween vid, and can't wait for part 2. As a North Carolinian with a grandmother born on Ocracoke Island, I must commend you on that tee shirt, King❤

Hey Ma! Maaa, that skinny fish guy posted again!

Happy halloweener brother, celebrate those who passed away.

Devil's Night in Detroit was crazy in the 90's.

Great, now I'm interested in the other historical origins of holidays...

This man will always make the happy chemical in my brain

Hello Connor... I am still haunting the unsub house! Your room specifically! Beahhhaahahahha!

Love the videos you do, and I hope you do thanksgiving and Christmas, and really hope we don’t have to wait 6 months for a new video, lol

Great Job!

Thank you Herr Trout

Ngl bro that Elden ring reference helped me understand lol

King Trout Posts, I hit thumbs up.

new trout video....heck yea

This is great, keep these up

Gawd I love you king trout

Watching this while I cook...oh there go the yotes across the street. My steak at 11pm. Texas

That Guy indeed Fawkes hard.

This video was very informative! I learned quite a bit! Also!! I like the back ground. I wanted to do something similar! Great job!

Need more king trout videos. He is spending to much time lurking behind the camera at unsubscribe, lol.

I was in the lands between while listening to this video in the background.

Well spoken and informative.

To add a little context to the whole "Romans being super supportive of other religions," they allowed for most other polytheistic religions because of "syncretism." They basically thought that their gods showed up to various groups under different names but were still the same god. For example, they thought that Mercury (Hermes) was the same as the Norse god Wotan, more commonly known as Odin. Judaism, being a monotheistic religion, was generally given an exception due to it being ancient, even for them. Christianity was a new religion who's deity was a man who the Romans had killed. Christians also refused to acknowledge the Romans gods, which they viewed as a threat to the state. By ignoring the worship of Jupiter and Venus and the rest, they were summoning the gods wrath on the empire, which would be bad for everyone. TLDR: The Romans liked polytheistic religions, and since Christianity was very monotheistic, they weren't a fan.

I learned something before the bobbing for apples bit. I live next to a town called Pomona. Now I know where the name came from.

Missed you trout!

I was just out fishing for trout and one posted a vid!

I got fired from my job two weeks ago. This video speaks to me.

Praise be, the king has graced us with his presence! (But for real I only subscribe to pepperbox to get more king trout content, please post more.)

I can wait for new yer’en

Hell yeah, Trout, Rome for the Win!!!

A commercial cut in right when you threatened to quit RU-vid, it made me grab my phone to see if you went postal. Nicely placed.

I love daddy trout

I assumed there would be a quip at the end about how…I dunno…80% of all fishnet stockings are sold on Halloween too.

I knew the gist of how Halloween came to be but the bobbin for apples thing is blowing my mind. A quick google search says the person who bites the apple first would be the first to get married or something, either way I learned something today thanks

You should definitely do Yule tide in December and history of lobotomy

I hope Part 2, which will probably come in 2026, explains how we went from harvest festival and giving bribes so kids won't demolish everything to an excuse to dress up as slutty versions of everything and be degenerate as hell.

So, I just listened to a Catholic apologist who had a different take on the history of Halloween. I’d love to know your thoughts.

And a good day to you, sir!
