• This episode includes stories about Hawaii and Hawaii football. I look at the history of challenges people faced while traveling to and from Hawaii. I take a look at the football teams who came to Hawaii in 1941 and then had their seasons and lives changed by the bombing of Pearl Harbor and WW2. Finally I talk about the game between Nebraska and Hawaii in 1955 and why this game is part of why I still have hope for Nebraska to return to the top of the College Football world.

This week I provide thoughts on the idea of Historical Arsonists, I compare Andrew Jackson to Donald Trump, I talk about the theory of Accelerationism, and finally I close with why it is so important that those of us who believe in a free and democratic society must resist the urge to fight violence with violence.

This week I look at the Paul-Is-Dead conspiracy theory. Time has made this a silly theory but its beats are still worth understanding as we try to understand our world today. Everything from "Swifties" to conspiracies beginning to swirl around the attempt on Trump's life. Every conspiracy has similarities that are easier to see when we think about one we're no longer emotionally invested in.

This week I look at Donald Trump's claim that he was the victim of a Kangaroo Court by comparing his experience with those of the British people sent to Australia in the 1700s and 1800s. I also look at how Australians were treated when they went to California in the 1850s seeking gold.
