Why Do I Know This?

Soccer aficionado Tyler Crowther joins Why Do I Know This for an episode on when the beautiful game isn't so beautiful. Soccer riots have been a staple of the sport for decades. Join us as we discuss the invasion of Marseille by a bunch of white trash from England and Russia, the dedicated group of soccer superfan gangs called "firms", and the multiday Latin American war sparked by a soccer match.

Confirmed member of the intelligentsia Sarah Meredith joins Jonathan and Logan as they discuss greenscreens. More formally known among media professionals as "chroma-key", greenscreens have been a staple of VFX for decades and have been featured in countless movies. But attached with the seemingly innocuous technology comes stories of extraordinary crystal projectors, NBA professionals playing in skin-tight cotton ball suits, and what actually made Mary Poppins fly.

In the first ever episode of Why Do I Know This, Jonathan and Logan discusses the fable Royal Canadian Mountain Police, better known as the "Mounties". They uncover their placid and genteel image to find an extensive police force that doesn't ride too many horses and is in need of systemic reform.
