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, that's what JRRT would have done and dammit this is about him. We've got all the hits from the Years of the Lamps, the Years of the Trees. the 1st Age, the 2nd Age, and yes you guessed it, the 3rd Age. This is one to get stoned and do some housework too, if you know you know.

Nazi War Criminals: Who Escaped and Who Didn't Feb 01, 2023

Show notes

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. Do you see what I'm getting at here.? While it's likely the story we know is the factual story, there's a lot of things that point to a plan of escape. A Plan you say, what plan could this be? Well buckle up folks because we have several factual stories of Nazi Officers and War Criminals escaping to South America, and some who were hunted down.

The History of Hygiene Jan 18, 2023

Show notes

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. Or how about when people literally shit in buckets inside, only to fling open their windows and toss the contents into the street. And what the fuck were humans wiping their asses with? You've got questions we've got disgusting answers. You may need to shower after this one.
