Well first and foremost it's fucking nuts...I mean religion in general is pretty fucking crazy but this is crazy double stuffed with bullshit and sprinkled with nuts. From the man who founded it L.

We're packing a bowl of Fantastical History to sooth your weary mind for the next 3 and 1/2 hours...yeah that's not a typo, sorry about 27 minutes into this thing I blackout into a nerd trance and I don't come to for another 3 hours. This isn't just the lore you're somewhat familiar with, we go deep, so so very deep, maybe too deep? But I digress, …

Recognized History tells us that Adolf Hitler killed himself in his bunker with Eva Braun. But it was the Russians who reached Berlin first and discovered his body, totally burned, which doesn't make identification problematic. Oh and because Hitler's dentist also said it was Hitler.

You ever think about time travel? Yeah us too. How bad do you think people in the past smelled when their baths were considered a luxury, only to happen a few times each year.

Manuel Antonio Noriega, the cunning and brutal in-all-but-name Dictator of Panama. Ol Noriega rose to power the old fashions way, he fucking spied and had dirt on everyone.

Welcome to our first annual Thanksgiving episode. Now sure we could talk about the first Thanksgiving and how the pilgrims and Native Americans sat down, broke bread and ate Turkey but let’s be honest, that story is probably horseshit. Instead we’re going to focus on the plight of our Indigenous brothers and sisters. Back in 1876 the U.S. Governmen…

The Counter Intelligence Program or COINTELPRO was the 30 yr passion project of one J. Edgar Hoover.

An airplane hijacking, $200,000.00 Ransom, a daring escape plan.

Pornography...even as I'm typing this out I'm thinking about how something that was once so taboo, so risqué, perverted, has become almost common place now. I mean it's everywhere.

I mean the title of the episode is pretty self explanatory right? We're talking fictional heroes, those larger than life figures we used to pretend to be playing in the backyard or riding our bikes down the street. Sure they didn't consider things like property damage, bystander casualties, the laws of physics or frankly anything else, but that's w…

Apparently there's a lot to unpack when it comes to the Knights Templar, from humble beginnings as a group of knights during the 1st Crusade meant to protect visitors to the Holy Land on the Pilgrim Road to basically becoming the Church's Black Ops unit and oh yeah, almost singlehandedly creating modern banking. When you become so powerful the King…

Religion is a touchy subject. With so many faiths throughout the word its hard to pick which to cover first...well actually......it wasn't that hard.

The history of the ancient Scandinavian people is one that has kind of taken on a life of its own over the years.
