Detailed description: In this episode of THE MR HANSoN PODCAST, Jeremy Hanson delivers a cinematic, true-to-life origin story behind a drink almost everyone recognizes but almost no one questions: pink lemonade. Set against the crushing heat of July 14, 1872, two teenage concession boys, Pete Conklin and Henry Allott, face a crowd that’s growing hotter, louder, and more dangerous by the minute. The water is gone. The supply key is nowhere to be found. The tent is an oven. The mob energy is rising. With no safe options left, they make a desperate, improvised decision that becomes an accidental invention and a cultural staple that outlives them both. This episode isn’t just “food trivia.” It’s a story about what scarcity does to human judgment, how poverty forges ruthless problem-solvers, and how the line between innovation and catastrophe can be razor thin. From the backstage bucket moment to the first customer’s sip, to the way the idea spreads by demand and word of mouth, The Color That Came From Hunger explores how a single impossible day can turn into something immortal. If you love forgotten American history, origin stories, and “how did that ever start” mysteries told with moral weight and cinematic tension, this is one of those episodes that stays with you long after the last note fades.

Who was Bartley Gorman—and why do so many call him the “King of the Gypsies”?

In this cinematic biography episode of MR. HANSoN Podcast, host Jeremy Hanson tells the dark, mythic, and deeply human true story of a man born into the Traveler world—a culture shaped by movement, tradition, exclusion, and a brutal code where reputation could mean safety.

Gorman (1944–2002) became one of the most feared names in unlicensed bareknuckle fighting across Britain and Ireland, with fights remembered not by official records, but by whispers: mineshafts, quarries, campsites, pubs, streets—places where there were no judges, no gloves, and no second chances.

This episode explores:

• The difference between myth and the man
• How bareknuckle culture functioned as a form of informal dispute-settling in Traveler communities
• What it costs to carry a crown you never asked for
• How Bartley’s presence and voice reportedly influenced modern pop culture—most famously as a stated inspiration behind Tom Hardy’s Bane voice
• Why some legends are never officially crowned… yet still become immortal

This is not a highlight reel. It’s a story about violence as consequence, restraint as power, and the heavy, quiet authority of a man the world tried to keep outside the gate—until the gate couldn’t ignore him anymore.

And in the end, we ask the only question that matters:

What does a king represent when the crown was never his to wear?
