Ever wondered how people managed to sleep soundly amidst the chaos of World War II air raids? Join us as we explore the intriguing tale of the Morrison Shelter Bed, a bizarre yet life-saving invention designed to protect British citizens from falling debris and flying objects during nighttime bombings. Picture a metal cage-like bed that might as well have been a coffin—yep, it’s a wild ride through history! We’ll also introduce you to some truly astonishing practices from the '60s, like the sight of toddlers sitting in garbage cans on the streets of New York City. It’s quirky, it’s curious, and it’s a part of our past that’s hard to believe.

In this episode of the Double A Club, we, your hosts ny Boom and big Daz, kick off with a discussion on how holidays have evolved over time. But before we get festive, we take a detour into some of the strangest historical practices that have thankfully been left behind. From wartime innovations to peculiar parenting methods, we marvel at the stark contrast between then and now. With our usual mix of humor and historical intrigue, we promise an entertaining and enlightening session that will leave you both chuckling and shaking your head in disbelief. Don’t miss out on these curious tales from yesteryear!
