Get ready to hammer down on history's quirkiest tales with a comedic twist on the latest episode of "Nailing History"! First up, we're unpacking the bimetallism brouhaha, where economists threw more shade than a parasol on a sunny day. Dive into the debate where gold and silver clashed harder than rival sports teams, leaving us wondering if they were really arguing over who had the shiniest bling! We touch on the surprising economic allegory hidden within the beloved classic, "The Wizard of Oz". While most know the story as a whimsical journey through the Land of Oz, few realize its deep connection to the contentious bimetalism debate that swept through late 19th-century America.

Then, brace yourself for a blast from the past with cyber shenanigans starring the "I Love You" virus, the original internet heartbreaker. We're talking about a virus that spread faster than gossip at a family reunion, leaving computers lovestruck and users scratching their heads. Who knew a simple "I love you" could cause so much chaos? Cupid would be proud!

And last but certainly not least, we're jamming to the tunes of Bob Marley and his musical mayhem. From reggae rhythms to rebellious anthems, Marley's music was the soundtrack of a generation. But hold onto your hats because we're also diving into the conspiracy theories surrounding his death. Who needs facts when you have wild speculation?

Tune in to "Nailing History" for a history lesson like no other – where we're not afraid to hammer out the laughs and nail down the truth, one hilarious tale at a time!
