The Fugate Family: The Blue People of Kentucky | 299 Aug 17, 2022

Show notes

We've all heard of the Blue Moon of Kentucky thanks to Elvis Presley, Kentucky Blue Grass, and Kentucky Blue is even a color of paint... But this is an entirely different type of blue; The Blue Fugates. They are a family with a rare blood disorder called methemoglobinemia. It can cause blue skin, and boy did it. Four of their seven children exhibited blue skin so the family retreated from society... and inbred over and over until they became world renowned for this hue. What happened to them? Can it be treated? And how can you turn yourself blue from the comfort of your own home? We answer those questions and many even crazier this from the preverbal cornucopia of weird, Kentucky.

Show notes

Two stories of good news this week... kind of.... First, We can breath through our butts???? Science says maybe, because it works on pigs and mice. As crazy as it sound it could have practicality if lung damage has accord or fluid buildup, or you are just a kinky perv. It's a choose your own adventure on that one. Plus, have drones allowed us to find a lost Zoroastrianism city? Time will tell, or maybe we could just ask Cbot since I am sure he will tell us he was there.

Project MKOFTEN: Drugs, The Occult, & The CIA | 297 Aug 03, 2022

Show notes

After the planet was ravaged by World War 2 the powers that be were looking for any edge they could. The United States was no different. So, they engaged in many secret medical experiments designed to help win the cold war... But at what cost? Let’s just say you can’t perfect mind control and Manchurian candidates without breaking a few eggs, and by eggs we mean unknowing subjects, both military and civilian. Oh yeah, black magic and the occult might have been involved as well... you know, for good measure. So, strap in, we are talking MKOften and CIA shenanigans via... wait for it... DRUGS.. this week on Hysteria 51
