Tom Cruise has nothing on Thomas Fitzpatrick: the man who got drunk, stole a plane and landed it outside a bar just to prove a point. After telling his story, the Deep Lore Boys discuss a heathen rooster being burned at the stake and the little-known Salem Tomato Trials. Then, Elmer McCurdy takes the spotlight; or, rather, his corpse does. But sshhhh... everyone thinks it's just a wax figure.

The lore is deep. Tycho Brahe was an incredibly interesting astronomer with a metal nose whose moose got drunk and fell down the stairs... but before we dig into that story, we've gotta put the kibosh on the Donut Earth theory, and tell the wildly epic tale of Galvarino.

We are no longer just the Deep Lore Boys. With Reese, our good friend and 50th subscriber, we delve into the legends of some famous wartime pets, including a monkey who fought in South Africa, tortoises in the trenches of New Zealand, and pigeons turned into suicide bombers. And to top it all off, we conclude the episode with some goofy bits of footage that didn't make the final cut in previous episodes.

It's episode nineteen, folks! You know what that means...  

There are many things we can be thankful for in this modern age. One of them is proper toilets and sewer systems... something that ancient Rome and 1858 London sadly didn't have. The geysers of flame that were common to shoot up out of Roman toilets was proof enough of that. But even toilet fire isn't quite as bad as blubber rain: the result of George Thornton's bangin' idea to blow a beached whale sky high.

The fastest moving manmade object in history was a steel bore cap launched into space by an underground nuclear test, and very few objects have come close to matching it since. With this knowledge in mind, the Deep Lore Boys visit the iconic mystery of the Flatwoods Monster, as well as the Voronezh UFO incident of 1989.

Turns out vampires were actually pretty common back in Europe, but with the powers of Morbius and Scout combined, they won't be coming back any time soon. With vampires out of the way, the Deep Lore Boys take a look at the morally questionable Bat Bomb that was nearly dropped on Japan in WWII, followed by a deep dive into the history of the Comic Code Authority.

With the final Jurassic World movie right around the corner, the Deep Lore Boys dig into some dinosaur lore, starting our journey in 1890 where a pair of cowboys claim to have shot and killed a pterodactyl. Next we take a gander at the Crystal Palace dinosaurs, famous for their historical inaccuracy, and finally, the legendary fossil war that cost two paleontologists their careers.

Turns out asbestos actually really sucks. Today the Deep Lore Boys investigate asbestos and its harmful effects before exploring the asbestos-free community of Slab City in the remote deserts of California. To top it all off, we learn from the mistakes of George Hopkins, who in 1941 found himself hopelessly stuck on top of Devil's Tower in Wyoming.
