    China's Worst Trade War Loss Apr 14, 2025
    Show notes

    The First Opium War was a series of military conflicts between the British Royal Navy and the Qing dynasty between 1839 to 1842. After tightening up and restricting trade for England creating a major deficit, China was flooded with opium by agents of the East India Company. Tensions built up between the two nations and the murder of a Chinese man by two British sailors stoked the flames of war.

    Tariffs Didn’t NOT Cause the Civil War Apr 07, 2025
    Show notes

    The United States has a long history of questionable tariffs but nothing compares to the “Tariff of Abominations” in 1828. It was an episode in American political and economic history so stupid that you’ll feel bad for absolutely no one… except maybe the slaves.

    The Scrappy Sled Dog That Captivated Our Nation Mar 31, 2025
    Show notes

    Balto was a Siberian Husky sled dog who helped transport life saving medicine to a remote Alaskan settlement. Initially seen as a mediocre pup, this good boy proved his owner wrong and led a pack of 13 others through the final stages of a 674 mile serem relay to prevent the death of hundreds of residents in the gold rush town of Nome. He captured the hearts of America and became an overnight celebrity for his efforts. But did he deserve it? Was his tale perhaps embellished by the national media? We dive into the true story of Balto.

    Show notes

    Breaking news about possible new discoveries under the Giza Pyramid Complex have people asking, do we really know who built the pyramids? The answer is yes we really know who built the pyramids. A bunch of blue-collar Egyptians who, much like many construction workers today, were kind of drunk while they were doing it. We break down the well-documented and ridiculous stories that have been discovered by archaeologists over the years the pyramids’ surprisingly relatable builders.

    The Irish Invaded Canada? Mar 17, 2025
    Show notes

    After the American Civil War, a large group of Union veterans weren't ready to say goodbye to the battlefield. So, they picked a fight north and attempted multiple invasions on our neighbors in Canada -- all in the name of Irish independence from the Crown. The Fenian Brotherhood and their raids on the Canucks proved life in the 19th century was whatever you wanted it to be.

    The Dark Magic Of Aleister Crowley Mar 03, 2025
    Show notes

    Alesiter Crowley was an English magician of the dark arts, dirty poet, mountaineer, liberal sex haver, and founder of the Thelema religion. He traveled the world in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and shocked or banged every human being he came across. Crowley claims to have been contacted by the Egyptian God Horus through a messanger named Aiwass, routinely participated in ceremonial eroticism with men and women, and was too "wicked" for either Mussolini or Hitler. He ultimately had influence on the Beatles, Iron Maiden, David Bowie, Led Zepplein, and L Ron Hubbard. This is the story of the father of modern occultism.

    Reading Is Bad For Women Feb 24, 2025
    Show notes

    If you think social media is unhealthy for people, you’re right. But it’s not a new phenomenon. From the invention of the printing press kicking off 300 years of witch trials, to doctors blaming depression in young girls on unrealistic lifestyles portrayed in cheap 18th-century romance novels, it turns out people have never handled the ability to create and consume their own content well. Author of “The Social Media Detox” Tiege Dooley-Panko joins the show to help break it down.

    When The Mormons Declared War On The Country Feb 10, 2025
    Show notes

    After being threatened with a replacement governor for the territory of Utah, Bringham Young and his Mormon coalition went to war against the U.S. Government from 1857 to 1858. Tensions were high and most of the casualties were innocent civilians passing through the region -- most notably the Baker-Fancher wagon party.
