  • The History of Hygiene

    You ever think about time travel? Yeah us too. How bad do you think people in the past smelled when their baths were considered a luxury, only to happen a few times each year. Or how about when people literally shit in buckets inside, only to fling open their windows and toss the contents into the street. And what the fuck were humans wiping their asses with? You've got questions we've got disgusting answers. You may need to shower after this one.

  • The Manhattan Project and J. Robert Oppenheimer

    The Manhattan Project was a government program developed by the United States, Canada, and United Kingdom during WW2 to research and build the first Weapon of Mass Destruction, The Atomic Bomb. To try and understand how man was able to harness the power of the atom, we're discussing how something so powerful could even be discovered and how that discovery was almost immediately weaponized. 

    J. Robert Oppenheimer was one of if not THE key figured in successfully building the devices that would be used to turn two Japanese cites to ash and an Empire to it's knees. He was a brilliant student of science, the arts, and religion. A man almost immediately conflicted with his greatest invention who felt the blood of thousands on his hands.

  • Manuel Noriega

    Manuel Antonio Noriega, the cunning and brutal in-all-but-name Dictator of Panama. Ol Noriega rose to power the old fashions way, he fucking spied and had dirt on everyone. This is a prime example of the old adage Knowledge is Power. Now Noriega's story would be thrilling as is, but over 31 years he rose to become the most powerful man in Panama, he was also working for the CIA...and not just as a spy, this guy was a jack of all trades, running guns and supplying funds for rebels in South America. Getting cozy with Pablo Escobar to run cocaine through his country into Central America. As crazy and made up as this guy seems he was also an unstable psycho with a face only a mother could love. 

    0:00-13:00 - Pre-Show Bullshit
    13:00-End - Noriega

  • History of Christmas Folklore

    Twas the week before Christmas and all through the Shoe-Dio, AG and Chris  discussed something beautiful. Three Holiday tales from folklore are told, but not before someone packs a tight bowl. 

    Look we get it, the Holidays are stressful, even more reason to take a little time for yourself, bake yourself like a warm oatmeal raisin cookie (yes they're the superior cookie) and tuck in with us for some Holiday Folklore that makes Santa look like a basic bitch. Sinterklass and the questionable Black Pete or Gryla and the Yule Lads, we've got something for everyone.

  • The Pearl Harbor Attack

    December 7th, 1941. There are certain moments in time, lynchpin moments I call them. Where an event causes the course of human history to change. There aren't a lot but this one I firmly believe qualifies. We're covering this thing from top to. bottom. What caused Japan to plan the attack? How did we get caught so off guard despite Pearl Harbor being the headquarters of the Navy's Pacific Fleet? How did Japan appear to know so much to be so successful? We're answering them all. Join us to find out how the beginning of the end started for the axis in WW2.

  • David Koresh and The Branch Davidians

    Oh David....where do we start with David, the Davidians, Waco, the Siege?!! There's a lotta meat in this loaf if you catch my drift...its not a sexual thing...I just mean there's a lot about this guy that you can sink you teeth into...again not a sexual thing. It's a fucking insane story about Cults, Polygamy, Armed Conflict with the Government and all at the center is David Koresh. Let's get to it.
